da dobrowin： Derby County will be hoping to make it four Championship wins from four on their own patch this season when Norwich City travel to Pride Park this Saturday lunchtime.

da aviator aposta： The Rams have lost all of their away games in the league worryingly, but it’s their form in Derbyshire that has caught the eye, with impressive wins over Middlesbrough and Bristol City sticking out.

It does feel unlikely that Paul Warne’s men will be eyeing up another go at promotion anytime soon, despite their early fantastic form at Pride Park, with this former midfielder once a part of a Rams side that knocked on the door of the Premier League numerous times.

Jeff Hendrick's time at Derby

Jeff Hendrick, who is now more well known for his recurring injury issues, was once a constant bright spark for Derby, with the 32-year-old a loyal servant to the Rams over many seasons.

The 79-time Republic of Ireland international would go on to amass 214 appearances in total for Derby during his celebrated time with the club, which saw two promotion near-misses happen in the play-offs, as Hendrick also notched up 26 goals and 19 assists.

Derby didn’t even have to fork out a penny to land Hendrick either, with the Irishman coming through the youth ranks at Pride Park, to then become a key first-teamer over many memorable years.

Hendrick would, however, walk away from his boyhood employers in 2016 when newly promoted Burnley came calling, as the Dublin-born midfielder finally got to live out his Premier League dream.

Derby wouldn’t wallow in the misery of their former star leaving for too long, however, with the Rams pocketing a healthy £10.5m, which was a then club record fee for the Clarets to pay up.

Unfortunately, after settling in well to top-flight life with Burnley initially, the ex-Derby “demon” – as he was once labelled by former manager Paul Ince for his hard-working ethic – has now seen his later career peter out…

Hendrick's value in 2024

Hendrick actually now finds himself unemployed after finally waving goodbye to Newcastle United this summer, after a torrid end to his time at St James’ Park.

Away from his occasional heroics at Turf Moor, which saw Hendrick live up to his price tag well in spells with ten goals and seven assists tallied up from 139 games in Lancashire, his late playing days have seen him very much lose his way.

The former Derby star would only go on to make 27 appearances for Newcastle across his cursed stay playing on Tyneside, whilst loan spells away from the Magpies were also rather mixed, with Hendrick struggling to ever get going with Sheffield Wednesday last season owing to injury issues and a general lack of form.

This has resulted in Hendrick’s transfer value in 2024 dropping all the way down to a low £250k – as per Football Transfers – as the experienced midfielder now searches for a new club to call home towards the back end of his career.

Derby now look very wise to have cashed in on their ex-number eight when they did, capitalising on Burnley taking a big risk on the Irishman, before his time in football then took a downward spiral.

Whilst Hendrick attempts to find a new club, the Rams will strive to stay put in the Championship past this campaign, with a positive result against Norwich this coming weekend very much helping Warne’s men in the long run to achieve that goal.

O time visitante abriu o placar no primeiro tempo. Na segunda etapa, o técnico Alex de Souza mexeu no time e a virada aconteceu. Aos 29, Brito deixou tudo igual. E aos 31, João Adriano garantiu a vitória de virada.

O São Paulo é o segundo colocado do Grupo 11 do Paulistão, com cinco pontos. Foram uma vitória e dois empates em três jogos.

A equipe do técnico Alex só volta a campo para um jogo oficial na próxima quarta-feira, para enfrentar o SC Brasil, às 15h, no estádio Marcelo Portugal Gouvêa, no CFA de Cotia.

كشفت صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية أن مستقبل كل من لوكاس فاسكيز، فران جارسيا، ديفيد ألابا، لوكا مودريتش في ريال مدريد لا يزال غامضًا مع اقتراب نهاية الموسم، حيث ينتظر كل منهم مصيره في ظل التغييرات المحتملة بالفريق.

وأوضحت الصحيفة أن لوكاس فاسكيز، بعد عشر سنوات مع ريال مدريد، يواجه صعوبة في الاستمرار مع الفريق، مع التوقعات بالتعاقد مع ترينت ألكسندر أرنولد من ليفربول، يُحتمل أن يكون فاسكيز في طريقه للرحيل.

فيما يتعلق بالمخضرم، لوكا مودريتش، أكدت الصحيفة أنه إذا استمر في تقديم مستوياته الجيدة لنهاية الموسم، فإن تمديد عقده لعام آخر حتى 2026 يبدو احتمالًا كبيرًا، خاصة مع تأكيده أنه قادر على الاستمرار حتى كأس العالم 2026.

وفيما يخص ديفيد ألابا، أشارت الصحيفة إلى أن مستقبله مرتبط بمستواه في الفترة القادمة، حيث أن راتبه المرتفع يشكل عقبة أمام رحيله، فمن غير المرجح أن يتمكن أي نادي آخر من تحمل تكاليف راتبه المرتفع.

أما بالنسبة للظهير، فران جارسيا، فقد كشفت الصحيفة عن ضغوط كبيرة عليه لإثبات نفسه في الفريق، لأن مستواه لم يرتق للطموحات مع ريال مدريد وهو ما جعل الأخير يفكر في السابق بالتعاقد مع، ألفونسو ديفيز، قبل تمديد عقده مع بايرن ميونخ.

وذكرت الصحيفة أن اللاعبين الأربعة قد يتواجدون في التشكيل الأساسي ضد خيتافي اليوم ببطولة الدوري الإسباني، ضمن عملية التدوير التي يفكر أنشيلوتي فيها استعدادًا لمباراة نهائي كأس ملك إسبانيا ضد برشلونة.

واختتمت أنه من الممكن أن تشهد فترة الانتقالات الصيفية تغييرات كبيرة في صفوف ريال مدريد، وهو ما قد يؤثر بشكل كبير على مستقبل هؤلاء اللاعبين، خاصة مع التقارير التي تربط الملكي بلاعبين جدد في بعض المراكز.

da heads bet： Considering Chelsea have shown this season they are looking to dominate possession (averaging 56.6% per game), the Blues showed they have different ways of winning games in their 3-0 demolition of West Ham United last weekend.

da bet vitoria： Despite only holding 47% of the ball, Chelsea created five big chances, generating 2.19 xG, and, of course, scoring three goals against the Hammers.

Enzo Maresca’s side made it three away wins on the bounce in the Premier League, with their only loss this season coming against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

The Italian could make ten changes from the side that beat Barrow 5-0 in the EFL Cup midweek, as Chelsea host Brighton and Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League later today…

1 GK – Robert Sanchez

Robert Sanchez has made the number one shirt his so far this season, keeping two clean sheets in a row, making seven saves against West Ham, as well as three high claims.

Sanchez will start between the sticks for the Blues, in an attempt to secure his third successive clean sheet.

2 RB – Malo Gusto

Returning from injury, Malo Gusto comes back into the side to face Brighton, after playing the first 45 minutes against Barrow in midweek. The £45k-per-week right-back chalked up nine assists last season and continues to be excellent cover for the injured Reece James.

3 CB – Wesley Fofana

Maresca has even said how much he “loves” Wesley Fofana this week, and he is expected to return to his more nominal right-sided centre-back role against Brighton. He and Levi Colwill are forming a strong central defensive bond this season, and will look to continue that this afternoon.

4 CB – Levi Colwill

As previously mentioned, Colwill is forming a great bond in central defence with Fofana, and will continue in his left centre-back role. The 21-year-old is currently averaging 4.20 passes into the final third per 90, and has a 92% passing accuracy, showing his importance to the team both on and off the ball.

5 LB – Marc Cucurella

The tenacious Marc Cucurella starts at left-back yet again against his former club, keeping stability in that back four. This would be the fourth Premier League game already this season that Chelsea line up with this back four (five including Sanchez), starting to build familiarity at the back.

6 DM – Moises Caicedo

Moises Caicedo starts as the defensive midfielder, and it goes without saying. The Ecuadorian would have been man of the match against West Ham if not for Jackson’s three goals and assists. Caicedo won 10/12 ground duels, making eight tackles in the game, and also grabbed an assist, an all-round performance from the midfielder, and he will be starting against Brighton in the six.

7 CM – Enzo Fernández

Captaining the side in the absence of James, Enzo Fernández starts in the midfield alongside Caicedo. Always offering to get on the ball, help progress play through the lines with that expansive passing range, and still getting stuck into his duels, Fernandez will need to show this against Brighton to win the midfield battle.

8 CM – Cole Palmer

Playing as the number eight/ten hybrid in midfield, Cole Palmer has taken much of the playmaking responsibilities for Maresca’s side this season, already providing four assists in his five Premier League games. He is expected to start in this same role against Brighton.

9 RW – Noni Madueke

Noni Madueke retains his spot on the right, still doing exactly what Maresca wants from his widemen. Getting into those 1v1 isolations, threatening with runs in behind, holding the width, and doing his job out of possession too, winning those duels.

10 LW – Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho picked up another assist against West Ham on the weekend, making it two in two appearances for the Blues. As such, the Englishman starts on the left, looking to make it three goal contributions in three games, and continue to add that creative spark from out wide.

Statement issued on behalf of family says that “prognosis is unclear”

ESPNcricinfo staff10-May-2022

Graham Thorpe, the former England batter, is “seriously ill” in hospital, according to the Professional Cricketers’ Association.Thorpe, 52, played 100 Tests for England between 1993 and 2005, averaging 44.66 with 16 centuries. He was recently announced as the new head coach of Afghanistan following a decade of involvement within England’s coaching set-up, which came to an end after this winter’s 4-0 Ashes loss in Australia.A statement from the PCA, issued at the request of Thorpe’s family, read: “Graham Thorpe has recently fallen seriously ill and is currently in hospital receiving treatment. His prognosis is unclear at this stage and we ask for privacy for him and his family at this time. Our thoughts are with Graham and his family.”Thorpe’s former county Surrey, where he spent the whole of his 17-year first-class career, added: “The thoughts of everyone at the Club are with Graham, his wife Amanda, and family at this time. He is an icon of the English game, known by millions of cricket fans and forever a favourite son of Surrey CCC.”After a century on debut against Australia at Trent Bridge, Thorpe soon established himself as one of the central figures of England’s Test team in the mid-1990s and early 2000s, with his selfless counterattacking style helping the team to emerge from the doldrums to become, by the time of his final Test against Bangladesh in June 2005, a side ready to compete on an equal footing with Ricky Ponting’s Australia in that summer’s legendary Ashes series.Thorpe’s own zenith came in the winter of 2000-01, when he was instrumental in England’s back-to-back series wins in Pakistan and Sri Lanka – to this day one of the team’s finest achievements.At Lahore in the first Test of that winter, he memorably compiled a century containing a solitary boundary, to lay the foundation for a 1-0 series win that he himself went on to seal in virtual darkness in Karachi later that tour.Then, three months later in the oppressive heat of Colombo, his twin innings of 113 not out and 32 not out carried England to a come-from-behind series victory against Sri Lanka, an achievement all the more impressive given they had succumbed to an innings defeat in the first Test in Galle.After retirement, he moved into coaching after a brief spell in the media, and after a stint with New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield in 2007, he joined the England set-up in 2010, initially as batting coach and later as assistant coach to Chris Silverwood, for whom he stepped in at Sydney this winter when Silverwood had to isolate following a Covid diagnosis.That role ended earlier this year when he, Silverwood and Ashley Giles, the former director of cricket, were all sacked in the wake of the Ashes loss. Thorpe’s own position had come under scrutiny after England’s defeat in the fifth Test, after the police were called in to break up an early-morning drinking session, involving several England and Australia players, at the team hotel in Hobart – allegedly after Thorpe had lit a cigar in an indoor space, which is against the law in Tasmania.

– Estou em plenas condições para ajudar o Corinthians o tempo que for necessário. Tem jogadores muito importantes aqui. Não quero ser protagonista, o grupo tem que ser. Fico feliz quando conseguimos uma vitória como essa – disse o meia na zona mista após o triunfo contra o Leão do Pici.

Contratado por empréstimo até o fim do ano, vindo do Shakhtar Donetsk-UCR, por conta do conflito entre o país ucraniano e a Rússia, o meia destacou o respeito que tem pela camisa corintiana, independentemente do seu futuro no clube após encerrar o vínculo atual.

– Eu tenho obrigações e respeito pela camisa do Corinthians, quando vim para cá vim para entregar o meu melhor. Não sei o que vai ser o meu futuro entro para dar o meu melhor, porque tenho muito respeito e gratidão pelo Corinthians, então tenho que respeitar a minha camisa, independentemente do que vai acontecer – afirmou Maycon.

Sobre a vitória diante do Fortaleza, o camisa 5 destacou que nem sempre o clube alvinegro vai criar muitas chances e que o importante é ter solidez defensiva, porque ofensivamente os atletas são capacitados.

– Tem jogos que vão ser complicados, nem sempre o Corinthians vai criar 20 chances, e eu estou acostumado, e a torcida também, joguem 2017 e 2018, as vezes tínhamos diversas chances e fazíamos dois gols. Temos que entender que o importante é não tomar gol, porque lá na frente temos jogadores de muita qualidade que podem resolver – afirmou o meia do Timão.

Desde o seu retorno ao Corinthians, Maycon tem sete jnogos disputados pelo clube.

da jogodeouro： O Palmeiras ainda vive o rescaldo da goleada por 8 a 1 sobre o Independiente Petrolero-BOL, na última terça-feira, no Allianz Parque. O perfil oficial da Libertadores no Twitter informou que o golaço de Raphael Veiga (o primeiro deles) foi eleito o mais bonito da segunda rodada do torneio continental. Na última semana, a Fifa sugeriu o gol ao Prêmio Puskas.

Veiga, que entrou no segundo tempo da partida, marcou os dois últimos gols da enorme goleada palmeirense, ou seja, quando seus chutes balançaram a rede adversária, o placar já marcava 6 a 1. No entanto, ele não passou despercebido, anotando duas pinturas, das mais bonitas da história do Allianz.

A primeira delas, porém, foi a mais bonita. O camisa 23 aproveitou cobrança de escanteio ensaiada de Gabriel Menino, e pegou de primeira de fora área e acertou o ângulo do goleiro Arancibia. Um chute de rara felicidade, que levou o auxiliar João Martins a colocar as duas mãos na cabeça, tamanha a incredulidade. Não é à toa que ela foi eleita a mais bonita da segunda rodada.

Na última quarta-feira, a Fifa usou seu perfil no Twitter para compartilhar o vídeo do gol de Veiga, com uma legenda que diz que o lance foi de treino, ou seja, ensaiado. Mas o principal detalhe dessas palavras publicadas foi a reflexão se esse tento poderia entrar na lista do próximo Prêmio Puskas, oferecido pela própria Fifa, que coloca em votação os gols mais bonitos do ano/temporada.

Nos comentários, os perfis oficiais do Paulistão e do Brasileirão interagiram com o post, além de, é claro, os torcedores rivais, que negaram a possibilidade, e os torcedores palmeirenses, que apoiaram a ideia de ver o gol de seu meia entre os mais bonitos do mundo neste momento. A próxima premiação da Fifa deve ser em janeiro de 2023, mas a lista do Puskas será divulgada antes disso.

Unlike in international cricket, batters are sure to face a lot of spin in the IPL, making it a crucial shot, the former India coach says

ESPNcricinfo staff29-Mar-20223:24

Shastri on Kohli: “If he uses his feet and starts to play the sweep, any spinner will think twice, thrice about what to bowl”

It’s great that Virat Kohli is using his feet against the spinners, but he must start playing the sweep more often, and “with freedom”, to make it tougher for the opposition, Ravi Shastri has said.”The thing I liked most about Virat was his fluency [in the 29-ball 41* against Punjab Kings],” Shastri said on ESPNcricinfo’s T20 Time Out ahead of Wednesday’s game between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. “He was prepared to use his feet against the spinners. Now he has to bring out the sweep. It’s a very important shot. He doesn’t play it much, but he should, with freedom.Related

Kohli: RCB working towards 'vision' set by du Plessis

“The four days you get in the nets [between matches], he should get rid of Raghu [D Raghavendra, the throwdown specialist], and the fast bowlers – he has played them a lot in the last one-and-a-half to two years. Get a spinner and keep playing the sweep. Because if he uses his feet starts to play the sweep, any spinner will think twice, thrice about what to bowl.”Shastri, as head coach of the Indian team for four-and-a-half years up to November 2021, worked closely with Kohli, who was India’s all-format captain through the tenure. He explained that though Kohli did play the shot in the nets, he didn’t need to employ it too much in international cricket since the numbers of spinners in operation are usually fewer than is the case in the IPL.”He does play the shot at training. But this [IPL] is the sort of tournament where he can practice it with some conviction, because he to play the shot,” Shastri said. “It’s not like you are playing it in the nets and you won’t get a chance to play it [in a game], in Australia or England. So there is no point. Maybe against Nathan Lyon, but he won’t get to face much spin there, it’s mainly fast bowlers.”But here, he will definitely get to face a lot of spin. We will move into May soon, it will be quite hot, the pitches will get drier. The sweep will become a very important shot. Play at least one. It’s such a shot that if a batter can play it, the spinner won’t know where to pitch the ball. Because the range of the shot is from in front of square leg to short fine-leg.”There is a process – how much back lift should be there, how to use the pace of the ball, what the position of the feet should be if you want to hit it along the ground… it’s important to practice it, and it’s important to get the position of the feet right.”Against Punjab Kings, a game Royal Challengers lost by five wickets with one over to spare despite putting up 205 for 2, Kohli had to face Rahul Chahar and Harpreet Brar, in the main, but against Knight Riders, there will be the two-pronged threat of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy.”If he uses his feet, the bowlers will start thinking, then he can play it,” Shastri said of playing a shot Kohli doesn’t play much against such quality spinners. “Maybe the sweep in front of square will be tricky, but the paddle sweep or the reverse paddle sweep can be played. Because both of them bowl quick, so he should use their pace.”

da betsson： Glasgow Rangers manager Philippe Clement will be hoping the signings he made during the summer transfer window at Ibrox can allow the club to generate substantial profits in the future.

da premier bet： Indeed, Rangers are looking to establish an effective player trading system which will see young talent signed, developed and then sold on for lavish fees.

This could fund future signings which may take the Glasgow club back to the summit of Scottish football.

While the Ibrox outfit have sold plenty of players over the last few years, only a few have generated significant profit for the club. One of the most notable examples is Glen Kamara.

How much Glen Kamara cost Rangers

During Steven Gerrard’s debut season in charge of Rangers, he knew that a strong midfield would give his side the perfect chance to end Celtic’s dominance.

This led to him agreeing a pre-contract move for Kamara, who was shining for Dundee at the time. Instead of waiting until the summer, however, Gerrard paid just £50k in order for the Finnish midfielder to link up early with the Gers.

It turned into one of the finest pieces of transfer business conducted by the club in recent years. Kamara went on to make nearly 200 appearances for the Light Blues, winning the Premiership and Scottish Cup, while also helping the Glaswegian outfit reach the Europa League final in 2022.

Gerrard even hailed him as a “monster” in 2019 upon his arrival, and it was clear the club would make a stunning profit on him in the future.

Last summer, Michael Beale sold the 28-year-old, hitting the jackpot on the player in the process…

Glen Kamara's transfer value in 2024

It soon became clear that the midfielder wasn’t going to be in Beale’s future plans as the summer transfer window rolled around last year.

It took a few months, but eventually, he was sold to Leeds United, who paid a fee in the region of £5m to bring the player down to the English Championship, as the club sought to bolster their squad ahead of a promotion charge.

This meant the Ibrox side had sold Kamara for 9900% more than what they paid for just four and a half years earlier, a truly incredible return on their initial investment.

The 6-foot star played a solitary season for the Yorkshire side, making 42 appearances in all competitions, yet he couldn’t lead them back into the Premier League.

This summer, he was on the move again, joining French side Stade Rennais for a fee believed to be £8.4m, meaning Leeds have even made a profit on the player.

Clement will be hoping that his time in charge of the Light Blues will allow him to sign young talent cheaply, before moving them on for transfer fees in this region.

Celtic have done this expertly in recent years. Hopefully, the Belgian has taken plenty of notice.
