Perfect for Maddison: Special England talent wants to seal move to Spurs

After weeks of miserable football and worse results, Tottenham Hotspur picked up a much-needed victory on Thursday night.

Ange Postecoglou’s side travelled to Hoffenheim knowing that a win was imperative to keep their hopes of automatically qualifying for the next round of the Europa League alive, and while it wasn’t straightforward, that’s just what they did.

While there were several good performances on the night, club co-vice captain James Maddison really stood out, scoring and assisting a goal.

Tottenham midfielder James Maddison

The Englishman hasn’t been at his mercurial best in recent months, but Thursday night reminded everyone just how good he can be, and fortunately for him, the manager and the fans for that matter, recent reports have linked Spurs with a player who’d be the perfect teammate for him.

Tottenham chase midfield maestro

According to a recent report from GIVEMESPORT, Tottenham have maintained their strong interest in LOSC Lille star Angel Gomes.

In positive developments for the North Londoners, the report has revealed that the England international now favours a move to them over other suitors, including West Ham United and Manchester United.

However, while the team could do with some reinforcements this month, it would appear as if the Lilywhites are working on a pre-contract agreement for the 24-year-old, as with his £11k-per-week contract expiring in the summer, he’ll be available for free.

It might not be what the team needs at this moment, but signing a player of Gomes’ ability for nothing is an excellent bit of business, especially as he could help Maddison play at his best more often.

Why Gomes would be a dream teammate for Maddison

So, it would probably be fair to say that the Maddison we saw against Hoffenheim on Thursday night was the one that fans want to see more of.

The tenacious midfielder who can kickstart attacks from nothing, play a killer ball in behind for his teammates, or break the lines himself to put the ball in the back of the net.

However, for fans to see more of that, the former Leicester City star needs an extremely dependable midfielder to play alongside him, someone who can help out offensively but is also talented and disciplined enough to help out in build-up and defensive situations, which is where Gomes comes in to play.

The former Manchester United prospect has spent much of his career playing in either attacking or central midfield, and as such, has the skill set to influence all phases of play and could, therefore, platform his compatriot to focus on happenings at the sharp end of the pitch.

For example, FBref, which compares players in similar positions across Europe’s top five leagues, the Champions League and Europa League, places him in the top 5% of attacking midfielders and wingers for shots blocked.

Moreover, an article from the Coaches Voice last September praised him for his pressing and counter-pressing ability, which in a Postecoglou system could be game-changing.

However, while he can help break up play and help defend central spaces, the “special” 24-year-old, as dubbed by former manager Jocelyn Gourvennec, can also help the Lilywhites and Maddison in attacking situations, as exemplified by FBref placing him in the top 1% of attacking midfielders and wingers for pass completion and successful take-on percentage, the top 3% for carries, the top 4% for passes into the final third, the top 6% for progressive passes, switches and more, all per 90.

Ultimately, signing Gomes in the summer would be an excellent idea for Spurs and Maddison, as the Lille star would platform the Coventry-born star through his defensive efforts and assist him with his brilliant passing range.

Inter quebra sequência sem triunfos justamente contra o último oponente que tinha vencido

MatériaMais Notícias

A mistura entre felicidade e alívio no Internacional com a vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o Independiente Medellín-COL, após quatro empates consecutivos na temporada, veio justamente diante do adversário contra o qual havia comemorado seu último triunfo.

A equipe de Mano Menezes não sabia o que era vencer um compromisso desde o dia 26 de abril. Nessa data, o time viajou até a cidade colombiana de Pereira e bateu o mesmo oponente da última terça-feira (17), só que por 1 a 0, gol marcado por Alemão.

O triunfo, além de importante pelo reencontro com a vitória, foi vital para as pretensões do Colorado na Sul-Americana. Isso porque, como o Guaireña-PAR superou o 9 de Octubre-EQU por apenas um gol de diferença, o Inter passou a frente no saldo de gols e lidera o Grupo E.

Com esse contexto, a equipe jogará pela última rodada da fase de grupos contra os equatorianos, no Beira-Rio, precisando apenas vencer por margem de gols igual ou superior ao Guaireña para carimbar o passaporte nas oitavas de final.

Entretanto, antes de pensar no cenário continental, o Colorado terá de voltar as atenções novamente para o Campeonato Brasileiro, torneio onde ocupa a 11ª colocação com nove pontos conquistados. No sábado, às 21h (de Brasília), a equipe visitará o Cuiabá, na Arena Pantanal.

Asia Cup 2022 shifted from Sri Lanka to the UAE

The competition will be played from August 27 to September 11 in the T20 format

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Jul-2022

The Asia Cup was last held in 2018, also in the UAE•AFP/Getty Images

The Asia Cup 2022 will be held in UAE, as reported by ESPNcricinfo earlier this month. Sri Lanka will remain hosts for the tournament to be played between August 27 and September 11.”Every effort was made to host the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka and the decision to shift the venue to the UAE was taken after much deliberation,” Jay Shah, the Asian Cricket Council President, was quoted as saying in a press release on Wednesday. “The UAE will be the new venue while Sri Lanka will continue to retain hosting rights.”Sri Lanka is going through one of its worst crisis with supplies of food and fuel drying up. The country has still been able to host bilateral cricket, with Australia and Pakistan making the trip over, but with the Asia Cup being a multi-team tournament, the challenges of hosting it in the midst of economic turmoil were a touch too much.”Hosting two teams is not the same as hosting ten teams,” SLC chief executive officer Ashley de Silva told ESPNcricinfo ten days ago. “You have to provide ten buses with fuel for all of them. You have to give every team a luggage van with fuel, and transport for the managers. You also have to give the sponsors transport and ensure that they are getting the mileage that they want from their sponsorship. The fuel for the generators to run the floodlights will also have to be found.”The ACC had limited options regarding back-up venues considering June through September is monsoon season over most of the Indian subcontinent. In terms of the infrastructure and travel, the UAE has proved to be a successful venue, but late August and early September generally witness extreme temperatures of over 40°C with humidity also expected to be a factor.The Asia Cup, last held in 2018, will be played in T20 format this time and serve as preparation for the World Cup in October. It will start with a qualifying round of matches between UAE, Kuwait, Singapore and Hong Kong. The winner will go on to the main tournament and play Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

Ben Sears and Matt Henry in New Zealand squad for Chappell-Hadlee ODIs

Trent Boult holds spot; Kyle Jamieson (back) and Adam Milne (achilles) weren’t considered due to injury

Ben Sears has played six T20Is so far for New Zealand•Associated Press

New Zealand have packed their squad with plenty of pace as they attempt to wrest the Chappell-Hadlee trophy out of Australia’s hands next month. In addition to the more established Lockie Ferguson, they have also brought in the 23-year old Ben Sears, who may well make his ODI debut in the three-match series starting on September 6.Trent Boult has kept his place in the squad, the first time the New Zealand selectors have had to make a decision on whether to include him since he withdrew from his central contract earlier this month. NZC said that his future selection would be made on a case-by-case basis, with preference given to contracted players, although he will be part of the T20 World Cup in October.Chappell-Hadlee Trophy schedule

1st ODI, Cairns: September 6
2nd ODI, Cairns: September 8
3rd ODI, Cairns: September 11

The conditions on offer across the Tasman have prompted New Zealand to further bolster their pace reserves with Matt Henry, who missed their most recent assignment in the West Indies with a rib injury. Sears had been his replacement in the squad and he now keeps his place, building on a career that began in 2018 with Wellington. He made his New Zealand debut in September 2021 and has plenty of admirers within the national set-up, including one of the OG Kiwi speedsters Shane Bond.”The inclusion of Ben Sears is a nod to the future, and we also think his pace and bounce could be a good option in Australian conditions,” head coach Gary Stead said. “It’s great to welcome back Matt as well. He’s been one of our front line one-day bowlers for the past few years and his ICC ODI bowling ranking of six is testament to that.”Kane Williamson captains the squad of 15 as he too makes a comeback after missing the last two matches on a successful tour of the Caribbean. He has only played three ODIs since the end of the 2019 World Cup due to a combination of injury and rotation, but, two weeks out from rekindling their biggest rivalry, he seemed upbeat and ready for action.”It’s always a huge occasion for the fans, and the team really look forward to it,” Williamson said. “You grow up watching the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series and remembering the great battles, so to be part of another chapter is pretty special. We know how tough Australia are to beat in their own conditions and we’re looking forward to the challenge.”Kyle Jamieson (back) and Adam Milne (achilles) weren’t considered due to injury. Ish Sodhi, Henry Nicholls and Will Young were left out. Glenn Phillips, who has made three fifty-plus scores in 12 innings, across formats keeps his place. With a 360-degree game and a batting style very similar to Steven Smith, he has become something of an enforcer in New Zealand’s middle order.”The fact we’re having to leave out players of the calibre of Ish, Henry, and Will shows the increased depth we currently have at our disposal,” Stead said. “Glenn’s a versatile player who can cover most places in the batting order for us – as well as providing a bowling option if needed.”Australia have a 6-4 win-loss record in 12 Chappell-Hadlee series so far and hold a considerable edge over New Zealand when playing at home. In fact, the Black Caps have go back seven completed matches, and 13 full years, to mark their last ODI victory over Australia in Australia.New Zealand ODI squad: Kane Williamson (capt), Finn Allen, Trent Boult, Michael Bracewell, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Tom Latham (wk), Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Ben Sears, Tim Southee

He could become their own Kane: Man Utd offered £50m "complete forward"

One of the issues with Manchester United’s current squad is the lack of goals upfront from strikers Joshua ZIrkzee and Rasmus Hojlund. Zirkzee is a player who brings so much more aside from goals, given his ability to link up play, although Ruben Amoirm would perhaps have liked to have seen him score more than the four goals he has managed so far.

Hojlund is a player who possesses great talent but has looked short of confidence at times this season. He has scored seven goals in the 2024/25 campaign, although just two of those have come in the Premier League.

Marcus Rashford also seems set to leave the club, with The Manchester Evening News reporting that Aston Villa are closing in on a late move for the 27-year-old.

To help add goals to their sides – and potentially fill Rashford’s ‘void’ – United have been linked with a new striker in the final days of the transfer window.

Man Utd's search for a striker

The player in question here is Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface. The 24-year-old Nigerian international came close to a move to Saudi side Al Nassr at the start of the week, and although the deal broke down, he could still leave the German champions.

Transfer Focus

According to a report from journalist Graeme Bailey, United ‘have been made aware of his situation’ due to ‘historic interest’ they have in signing him, and could make a move before the transfer window slams shut on Monday.

The Saudi side had agreed on a fee of £50m for the Nigerian, so it is safe to assume he could cost United anywhere upwards of that fee.

However, they are not the only Premier League side to have been offered the chance to sign him. London trio Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have also been notified of his availability, as have Aston Villa, who need a replacement for Jhon Duran after his move to Al Nassr.

Why Boniface would be a good signing

If there is one thing Boniface will bring to United’s attack, it is perhaps the thing they need most; goals. This season, he has managed to find the back of the net eight times in 15 appearances in all competitions.

Victor Boniface celebrates for Bayer Leverkusen.

He made a strong start to the 2024/25 campaign, with six goals and an assist in the first ten Bundesliga games, but an injury has since kept him sidelined. However, that was certainly a contention of his form the previous season.

In arguably the best team of 2023/24, Boniface led the attack under Xabi Alonso superbly. He managed 21 goals and ten assists in 34 games, showing why football talent scout Jacek Kulig described him as a “complete forward”.

Victor Boniface

Just as he did this season, he started the 2023/24 on fire, with nine goals and assists in seven top-flight games.

He has also managed to outperform Rashford over the past few seasons. It has not been an easy couple of campaigns for the England international, who has seven goals across all competitions this season and managed just eight last term.

However, he has an exemplary record at his boyhood club, with 138 goals to his name, in 426 appearances since making his debut back in 2015/16.

Should United manage to sign Boniface, he could be their own version of Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane. Former manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that the club wanted to bring the England captain to Old Trafford in the summer of 2023, but they “couldn’t get him”, with the Bundesliga giants instead winning the race.

In their search for more goals, there is no doubt that Kane would have brought just that to United. His record for Bayern is simply outstanding, with 70 goals and 22 assists in just 72 games. He has been phenomenal.

The Red Devils might have their own version of Kane if they signed the Nigerian striker. The pair are noted as similar players across Europe’s top five leagues, as per FBref, showing just how deadly Leverkusen’s number 22 can be in front of goal.

For example, Boniface has an expected goals per game of 0.89xG, compared to Kane’s 0.86xG. The Leverkusen star also averaged 3.7 shot-creating actions per game, with Kane only slightly more, averaging 3.73 shot-creating actions per game.

Stats from FBref

This could be a brilliant deal for United. For ‘just’ £50m, they would be beating some of their biggest rivals to a striker whose numbers are up there with the England captain, and who could certainly add goals to their side.

This could be the exact deal Amorim needs to help his side push for a respectable Premier League finish.

أسامة نبيه يوجه رسالة للجماهير بعد خسارة منتخب مصر برونزية أمم إفريقيا للشباب

وجّه أسامة نبيه مدرب منتخب مصر للشباب، اعتذارًا صريحًا للجماهير المصرية عقب الخسارة أمام نيجيريا، في مباراة تحديد المركز الثالث ببطولة كأس أمم إفريقيا تحت 20 عامًا، مؤكدًا أن الغيابات أثرت بشكل كبير على أداء الفريق، إلا أن التأهل إلى كأس العالم يظل هو الإنجاز الأهم.

وقال مدرب الفراعنة في تصريحات بالمؤتمر الصحفي عقب اللقاء: “أعتذر للجماهير عن عدم حصد ميدالية، لعبنا أمام نيجيريا في غياب 9 لاعبين أساسيين بسبب الإصابات، ما أثر على أداء الفريق، لكننا حققنا الهدف الأساسي من البطولة وهو التأهل إلى كأس العالم، أمامنا 3 أشهر فقط، لذلك سنبدأ فورًا الاستعداد للبطولة”.

Bustos volta a lembrar 'horrores do VAR' após empate do Santos com o Atlético-MG

MatériaMais Notícias

O técnico Fabián Bustos voltou a falar de arbitragem após o empate entre Santos e Atlético-MG, no Mineirão, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. O time santista estava com um jogador a menos quando conseguiu fazer o gol de empate, em pênalti convertido por Rwan.

Pelo Brasileirão, o Peixe acredita que vem sendo prejudicado pela arbitragem sucessivamente. O clube, inclusive, já enviou diversas reclamações para a Confederação Brasileira de Futebol e prepara um dossiê com todos os lances em que se sentiu prejudicado.

– Estamos competindo bem e se não fossem todos os horrores que marcou o VAR, deveríamos ter ganho mais dois jogos, porque fizemos gols legítimos contra o Inter e o Ceará. Não estou enojado, estou conformado, porque a equipe teve rebeldia e, com um a menos, brigou, tentou e somou um bom ponto em um campo muito difícil, contra uma equipe muito boa, com um grande corpo técnico. Obviamente que agora vem críticas, mas é uma grande comissão técnica, trabalham bem, tem bons jogadores. Acredito que conquistamos algo justo, porque tivemos nossos méritos – afirmou o treinador.

Relembre abaixo alguns lances polêmicos da arbitragem pelo Brasileiro:

Fluminense 0x0 Santos (1ª rodada)

Na estreia da competição, o Santos empatou sem gols com o Fluminense, no Maracanã. Quase no final do jogo, Angulo foi derrubado na área. O árbitro sequer foi chamado ao VAR para analisar a imagem e gerou muitas reclamações dos santistas.

Santos 2×1 Coritiba (2ª rodada)

No primeiro jogo na Vila pela competição, o Santos venceu o Coritiba por 2 a 1. No entanto, o gol do Coxa foi de um pênalti marcado em um lance com o volante Vinicius Zanocelo e também gerou insatisfação no clube.

São Paulo 2×1 Santos (4ª rodada)

O Santos perdeu para o São Paulo por 2 a 1, no Morumbi. Foi o primeiro clássico da competição, e o time santista reclamou em um lance que antecedeu o pênalti para o rival. O Peixe afirma ter acontecido um erro de Leandro Vuaden. Marcos Leonardo e Alisson disputavam a bola e, antes dela sair, o jogador do São Paulo tentou segurá-la. A arbitragem marcou lateral contra o Peixe, na sequência, ocorreu a penalidade.

Santos 0x0 Ceará (7ª rodada)

Na Arena Barueri, o Santos empatou sem gols contra o Ceará. O Peixe chegou a marcar um gol, mas ele foi anulado pelo VAR pois, de acordo com a arbitragem, no início da jogada, Jhojan Julio e Rodrigo Fernández disputavam a bola com Zé Roberto, do Ceará, ainda no meio-campo. A bola ficou com o volante santista, que passou para Julio. Na sequência, ele tocou para Lucas Pires cruzar e Léo Baptistão apareceu na área para finalizar e fazer o gol. Mas o lance foi anulado.

Santos 0 x 1 Palmeiras (8ª rodada)

O Santos teve um gol de Marcos Leonardo anulado pelo VAR por alegação de falta de Léo Baptistão em Zé Rafael na origem da jogada.

Santos 1×1 Internacional (10ª rodada)

Peixe empatou em 1 a 1 com o Internacional, na Vila Belmiro. No entanto, o Santos teve um gol anulado pelo VAR ainda no primeiro tempo. O zagueiro Eduardo Bauermann cabeceou para o fundo das redes na cobrança de falta do lateral-esquerdo Lucas Pires e a arbitragem de campo havia validado o gol. A imagem do VAR gerou dúvidas sobre a posição do defensor ser legal.
