Spurs’ 8/10 titan was as important as Kulusevski vs Forest

Tottenham Hotspur won once again in the Premier League on Friday night, battling hard to secure a 2-0 victory against a spirited Nottingham Forest side at the City Ground.

Steve Cooper is under pressure having now endured a sixth successive match without a win, but Ange Postecoglou has soaked up problems of his own across recent weeks and appears to have settled the equilibrium after a testing spell.

Dejan Kulusevski & Richarlison's games in numbers

Richarlison gave Tottenham the lead in the late stage of the first half, heading his side in front after a curling cross from the excellent Dejan Kulusevski, who couldn't resist doubling the Lilywhites' lead with a thumping effort after the hour mark.

As per Sofascore, Kulusevski complemented his direct contributions with a 93% pass success rate, three key passes, five duels and two tackles – very much the all-encompassing engine.

Richarlison, by comparison, only took 19 touches all game and struggled to make much of a sustained impact, though this hardly matters given that he did his job and gave his team the lead after a competitive opening.

The Brazilian might have struggled to influence the play after his headed effort, but he has seemingly rekindled his Midas touch in front of goal and will prove to be an invaluable tool for Postecoglou as Spurs look to reclaim a place in the top four.

The forwards both impressed, but the efforts of Cristian Romero in the rearguard were just as important, with the tough-tackling titan hailed for his "outstanding" display by one analyst.

Cristian Romero was "outstanding" vs Forest

Romero's importance to Postecoglou's team cannot be understated; having seen red against Chelsea to kick the recent struggles off, Romero missed the next three matches and Spurs failed to win each time.

Scoring against West Ham United on his return, the Argentine World Cup winner has since provided a menacing presence in front of Guglielmo Vicario's goal to provide his peers with the goods, simply sublime against Cooper's side.

Making five clearances, blocking two shots and winning two tackles, Romero also won five duels and only lost possession eight times despite taking 94 touches. It was a commanding performance and a wonderful reminder of the defence's enhancement when he is in on the action and importantly, disciplined too.

Football.london's Alasdair Gold was delighted with his display, handing him an 8/10 match rating and writing:

'Bailed out Sarr with an early booming challenge after the young midfielder had given the ball to Yates on his way to goal. Perhaps got away with one challenge that might have brought that fifth yellow card but he was important in Spurs keeping their clean sheet.'

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero.

Nottingham Forest valiantly fought to stifle the visitors and alleviate the pressure on manager Cooper's shoulders, but it wasn't to be and Tottenham underlined their Champions League credentials with a gritty victory.

While the flair and pizzazz that Spurs boast is something that wows fans and wins matches, the old footballing adage comes into play here: it is the feats of colossus Romero that will ensure Postecoglou realises his lofty ambitions at the club.

Sport reduz chances de queda com vitória sobre o Botafogo, e Jair projeta duelo contra o Inter

MatériaMais Notícias

A vitória histórica do Sport sobre o Botafogo, no Nilton Santos, não só rebaixou a equipe de General Severiano, mas também fez com que as chances matemáticas de rebaixamento do Leão da Ilha até aqui diminuíssem.

De acordo com o site Infobola, do matemático Tristão Garcia, o Sport possui agora 9% de chances de rebaixamento. As estatísticas do Brasileirão com formato de 20 times indicam que 45 pontos é o número ideal para se livrar do rebaixamento. Para alcançar essa pontuação, o Sport, com 38 pontos, precisa de pelo menos duas vitórias e um empate. A equipe pernambucana pode alcançar no máximo 47 pontos, caso tenha uma reta final perfeita.

O próximo duelo do Leão é diante do líder Internacional, na quarta-feira (10), fora de casa. Jair Ventura sabe do desafio que terá no Beira-Rio, mas confia que seus atletas possam ter um bom resultado.

“Nós temos uma parada duríssima, mas vamos lá. Agora é descansar e que, juntos, com a força do nosso grupo. Por tantas perdas que tivemos, que a gente possa dentro de tanta dificuldade conseguir nosso objetivo que é a permanência na Série A.

Atlético-MG e Athletico Paranaense são os dois últimos duelos do Sport após o confronto contra o Internacional.

محمد صلاح يكشف لأول مرة سر احتفال "القوس والسهم" بعد أهدافه الأخيرة مع ليفربول

كشف المصري محمد صلاح، جناح فريق ليفربول، عن سر احتفاله الجديد بأهدافه في موسم الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز 2024-2025، بإشارة القوس والسهم.

'KL Rahul has proven he can succeed in all three formats' – Rahul Dravid

The India A coach isn’t unduly worried by the opener’s poor form over the last few months. He also feels India will go into the 2019 World Cup as favourites

India will start the 2019 World Cup as favourites, according to Rahul Dravid. The India A coach believes India are playing “very good cricket” at the moment, and hoped they could peak at the right moment.Speaking to journalists during India A’s ongoing home series against England Lions, Dravid said he expected the pitches in England to be flat and unlike those he experienced during the 1999 World Cup in the same country.”The wickets will be very different compared to 1999, they’ve become very flat,” Dravid said. “I expect it to be a very high-scoring World Cup. We went with India A last year, and 300 was regularly scored, so it’ll be a lot more high-scoring than 1999. We used the Duke’s ball then, now it’s Kookaburra… plus two new balls and field restrictions are there, so we can’t compare the World Cups.”But India are playing very good cricket and definitely go in as one of the favourites. Hopefully, the boys can peak over the next few months.”KL Rahul has struggled for form over recent months, but Dravid believed the opener’s ability would help him bounce back. In his last 12 innings, Rahul has gone past fifty just once and has scored only 55 runs in three 50-over games for India A against England Lions.”I have no doubt that Rahul has quality and ability,” Dravid said. “He’s playing the four-dayers [against the Lions], and he’s proven he can succeed in the international level in all three formats. He’s one player who has hundreds in T20Is, Tests and ODIs so I’m not worried about his form.”The one-dayers against Lions were also an opportunity for Dravid to test India A’s bench strength, and he was pleased with the contributions of the young players drafted in. He also highlighted positives that came from the seniors in the side who remain in contention for a ticket to England.”Ajinkya [Rahane] (140 in three games) came here and scored runs,” Dravid said. “[Hanuma] Vihari, Shreyas Iyer did quite well. The seamers Deepak [Chahar] and Shardul [Thakur] did well. Navdeep [Saini], Avesh Khan and Axar Patel have been excellent. Both the legspinners [Rahul Chahar and Mayank Markande] showed promise and potential, so there were a lot of performances that the selectors can look at and be happy about.”It was also a younger squad, so it was an opportunity to bring the younger players for the last few games – you saw the likes of Rituraj Gayakwad, Himmat Singh, Siddhesh Lad, Ricky Bhui. They’ve not been part of our set-up, but we want to slowly bring them in because they’ve done well in one-day and Ranji games.”Rahul Dravid receiving his ICC Hall of Fame cap•International Cricket Council

On the topic of the Ranji Trophy, Dravid said it was inevitable that some India A tours would clash with the country’s premier first-class competition.”It’s not an easy one to avoid. But in this series, we didn’t pick anyone still playing the Ranji Trophy quarters, semis and finals… so we’ve given importance to that,” Dravid said. “But it’s not easy, we need to balance out the needs of some of the players, we need to develop them and give our players a level and standard higher than domestic cricket. If we don’t challenge our players at a slightly higher level than domestic and first-class cricket, then how can we develop them for international cricket?”We try to not make them clash, but sometimes the clash is inevitable. Like going to New Zealand [in December 2018], it was a very fruitful exercise to play in those conditions… and if the season clashes, then there’s no way we can balance it out. So yes, we do try to avoid clashes but inevitably it sometimes will happen.”Dravid was keen to play down the margin of India A’s one-day victory against a solid Lions outfit captained by Ben Duckett. Dravid felt India A had been heavily challenged by the visitors, and that the scoreline simply reflected of who did better in the crunch moments.”Even though the scoreline reads 4-1, there were many situations where we were challenged and pushed against the wall,” Dravid said. “But we showed some good fighting spirit.”They pushed us. There were a lot of close games, one wicket or a small phase of play their way and they would’ve won it. It was a lot tighter than 4-1, we just won the key moments, so credit to the boys.”Dravid’s next job is to oversee India-A’s four-dayers against the Lions, which begin next week. Rahul is part of that squad too, and is expected to take his place at the top of the order. The first game begins on February 7 in Wayanad.

Arsenal leading race to sign Goncalo Inacio in £50m+ deal as update shared

Arsenal are thought to be leading the race for an in-demand target in the New Year, according to a fresh report.

Arsenal transfer news

The Gunners find themselves in a solid position in the Premier League table as we approach the halfway stage of the campaign and can return to the top of the league standings with a win over West Ham on Thursday evening.

Sporting director Edu, who works together with manager Mikel Arteta, could look into new signings with the January transfer window just around the corner to bolster their squad for the season half of the season. A new forward appears to be on the to-do list in 2024, with a number of targets being linked.

However, despite the Gunners having the joint-best defence in the league, a new centre-back has also been rumoured to join. Recent reports have claimed that Arsenal are preparing to trigger the release clause in the contract of Sporting CP star Goncalo Inacio, and a new development has now emerged.

Sport Witness relayed an update from Portugal regarding Arsenal and Inacio in the last 48 hours, claiming it is the Gunners who are in fact leading the race for the centre-back. The Gunners are ‘best positioned’ to win the race for Inacio and are well-placed to ‘advance for the signing’ ahead of January, with any deal needing to be his €60m (£52.1m) release clause.

There is plenty of interest in Inacio, though, with rivals Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool also keen on the Portuguese star.

Inacio compared to Gabriel and Saliba

Inacio, who football talent scout Jacek Kulig described as "complete", is just 22 years of age but already boasts a wealth of senior experience for Sporting. The player has made 145 senior appearances for the club after progressing through their academy, scoring 14 times and providing eight assists along the way. (Gonaclo Inacio stats – Transfermarkt)

He’s gone from strength to strength and is now a full Portugal international with a career-high €30m Transfermarkt valuation. Thee left-footeed defender even helped Sporting knock Arsenal out of the Europa League last season by scoring in the last 16 first leg. Gabriel and William Saliba have become Arteta’s first choice pairing, but as can be seen below, Inacio has outperformed the pair in a number of areas so far this season.

Therefore, you could argue that securing the services of Inacio in 2024 would be a major coup, especially considering the amount of interest from England in the player from some of their biggest rivals. Arsenal are seemingly in a good position to get a deal done given this latest update, so it’ll be interesting to see if they make their move in the coming weeks.

Dom Sibley reminds Surrey of his talent after Ollie Pope stars with 251

Former county opener holds up Surrey’s victory push with impressive hundred

Dom Sibley brings up his hundred•Getty Images

MCC 265 and 221 for 1 (Sibley 102*) trail Surrey 520 (Pope 251) by 34 runsOllie Pope laid down a timely reminder of the credentials that earned him a Test debut against India last summer, as he converted his overnight century into a career-best 251 to cement Surrey’s control of the Champion County fixture at Dubai.By the close of the third day, however, their march to an apparently comfortable victory had been held up by a doughty response from MCC’s openers.Faced with a deficit of 255, the Warwickshire duo of Will Rhodes and Dom Sibley added 190 for MCC’s first wicket to help reduce their side’s arrears to just 34 runs with nine wickets standing.Though Rhodes eventually fell for 88 – bowled by the legspin of Scott Borthwick – Sibley was unbeaten on 102 at the close, a telling display from a player who left Surrey under a cloud last season, having felt his opportunities for first-team cricket had been limited since becoming, in 2013, the second-youngest player after WG Grace to score a first-class double-century.He went to his hundred with 11 fours, and had faced 194 balls by the close, in compiling his fourth first-class century in five innings, after finishing the 2018 county season with a flurry of 106, 44, 144 not out and 119 for Warwickshire against Leicestershire, Sussex and Kent.Earlier, Surrey had tightened their grip on the contest by adding a further 131 runs to their overnight 389 for 4, to finish on an imposing 520. They lost one of their overnight centurions, Jamie Smith, for the addition of just four runs, but Pope – who resumed on 183 not out – did not miss out on the chance to convert to a mighty innings.In the midst of a sandstorm, Pope soon went past 200 for the first time in his career, then launched the spin of Dom Bess for consecutive sixes to reach his 250 in style.MCC did battle back with the ball, however. Pope holed out to mid-off against Rhodes’ medium pace to open up an end, whereupon Stephen Parry, the former England left-arm spinner, picked through the tail with three quick wickets.

Aston Villa line up “one of the best wing-backs in Europe” to replace Cash

Aston Villa have exceeded all expectations this season, and their 3-2 win over Burnley last weekend was their 13th in 20 Premier League matches.

That result puts Unai Emery’s side second in the table, three points off Liverpool in first.

Despite the successes so far, the Spaniard wants to bolster his squad in January, with a new right back targeted.

Aston Villa transfers latest – Jeremie Frimpong

According to The Athletic, Aston Villa are interested in signing a new right back, with Jeremie Frimpong among those heavily linked.

Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong.

The Bayer Leveruksen star, who has been labelled “one of the best wing-backs in Europe” by Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, reportedly has a £34m release clause in his contract.

All confirmed Premier League done deals: January transfer window 2024

With the January transfer window coming towards its conclusion, FFC has all the info for tracking your club’s winter transfer activity.

ByLuke Randall Feb 1, 2024

The large fee makes the move difficult to complete in January, as Leverkusen will also not want to sell the defender in the middle of a title charge.

How Jeremie Frimpong compares to Matty Cash

Matty Cash started the season as the first-choice right-back for Aston Villa, but over time, Emery has shown his willingness to field the Poland international as a right midfielder in his 4-4-2 variant.

This gives us a glimpse into the future, as Ezri Konsa has often filled in at right back when this is the case. However, if Frimpong were to join, he would make that right midfield role his own, just like he has at Leverkusen this campaign.

With Konsa looking like the long-term solution at right-back and Frimpong ultimately taking Cash’s role further forward, it would make the ex-Nottingham Forest star second choice in both positions, which could put an end to his Villa career.

Nonetheless, let’s look at how Cash compares to his potential replacement based on stats from their respective leagues this season.

Due to Frimpong’s low defensive stats and lack of defensive responsibility in Xabi Alonso’s three-back formation, it is clear that he is much more of an attacking player than Cash, who is a balanced defender who likes to win the ball.

If Emery was to acquire the Dutch star, he would field him in that attacking 4-4-2 role, which means the more defensive Konsa at right-back, who is a centre-half by trade, will provide cover.

Frimpong is one of the most dangerous attacking wingbacks in the world, and as a result, he would form an excellent relationship with Ollie Watkins.

The 23-year-old uses his immense speed and quick feet to weave his way past defenders, and he is also incredible at carrying the ball forward. This is highlighted by his successful take-on statistics and progressive carries, for which he ranks in the top 5% and 1%, respectively, for fullbacks in the Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong

Not only does he provide endless creativity, but he has the output to back it up. Frimpong has scored seven goals and registered ten assists in just 22 games this season, which shows he has the ability to take Villa’s attack to the next level. He possesses twice as much threat going forward as Cash, who is clearly a more reserved full-back.

As such, the potential signing of Frimpong would be a huge upgrade for Cash, especially in that attacking role. The Netherlands ace would fit into that position and Emery’s system like a glove, and Villa have proved that they can fight off competition to sign a Leverkusen star already this season, in the form of Moussa Diaby. Frimpong would be worth every penny of his valuation.

Botafogo encaminha acerto com Jonathan; contrato será de um ano

MatériaMais Notícias

O Botafogo está perto de ter mais uma contratação para a próxima temporada. O lateral-direito Jonathan, atualmente no Coritiba, tem um acordo encaminhado para defender o clube de General Severiano em 2021. O contrato ainda não foi assinado, mas as partes já têm as principais minutas do contrato acertadas. O vínculo será válido por um ano, até o fim da Série B, mas pode ser renovado por mais uma temporada, com uma cláusula.

Como o defensor tem um vínculo ativo com o Coritiba, o contrato com o Botafogo só será oficialmente assinado após o fim do Campeonato Brasileiro, atualmente na 37ª rodada. Até esta data, Jonathan permanece “respondendo” como atleta do Coxa Branca.

O jogador de 28 anos chega ao Botafogo sem custos. O Coritiba mostrou interesse em renovar o contrato do jogador para a próxima temporada, mas a proposta do Alvinegro foi considerada mais vantajosa.

O clube de General Severiano aguarda a chegada de Jonathan no Rio de Janeiro após o Brasileirão para a realização de exames médicos. O lateral-direito fará parte da pré-temporada e do elenco que disputará o Campeonato Carioca, que começa no início de março.

JOGADOR CONFIRMOU INTERESSE
Jonathan foi um dos protagonistas da vitória do Coritiba sobre o Palmeiras, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, na última quarta-feira. O lateral marcou o gol que garantiu o triunfo do Coxa, já nos minutos finais do duelo. Após o jogo, ele comentou sobre o interesse do Botafogo.

– Teve interesse sim (do Botafogo), mas meu foco por enquanto é aqui no Coritiba. Minha cabeça não está em outro clube. A partir que terminar meu contrato nós vamos ver o que é melhor – afirmou, ao “TNT Sports”.

ليفاندوفسكي: جيلنا جاء من الشوارع.. ومن الصعب العثور على مهاجم مثلنا هذه الأيام

تحدث البولندي روبرت ليفاندوفسكي مهاجم برشلونة عن التغيرات بين المهاجمين في جيله والجيل الحالي.

ويرى ليفاندوفسكي أنه من الصعب العثور على مهاجمين مثله في الوقت الحالي، وأدلى بذلك في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية.

وقال ليفاندوفسكي: “فان بيرسي، واين روني، بنزيما، أجويرو… هل تغير الرقم 9؟ عصري كان عصر كريستيانو رونالدو وليو ميسي، وأنا قريب أو ربما متأخر في عدد الأهداف”.

واستطرد: “الآن، تتغير كرة القدم، أعتقد أنه من الصعب العثور على هذا النوع من المهاجمين، مثلنا هذه الأيام”.

وأضاف: “الجيل الجديد قادم، ربما يتعين علينا الانتظار بضع سنوات، لأنني أعتقد أن الأكاديمية، أو الأشياء التي يتعلمها اللاعبون الشباب حول كيفية لعب كرة القدم، تتغير، لأن جيلنا جاء من الشوارع”.

وتابع: “والآن يكاد يكون من المستحيل، لأن الآباء الآن يحضرون أطفالهم إلى التدريب، ويأخذونهم ثم يعودون إلى المنزل، لذلك أصبح الأمر مختلفًا تمامًا”.

وأشار ليفاندوفسكي إلى تعليمات مدرب برشلونة هانز فليك: “كما قال فليك منذ البداية، فهو يريد إنشاء فريق هجومي يولد الفرص، ويسجل العديد من الأهداف ويضغط بشكل جيد”.
