أشاد إنزو ماريسكا المدير الفني لفريق تشيلسي الإنجليزي، بأحد لاعبي فريقه في حديثه عقب المباراة أمام برشلونة بدوري أبطال أوروبا.
وخاض تشيلسي مباراة أمام برشلونة، مساء الثلاثاء، على ملعب “ستامفورد بريدج” ضمن مباريات الجولة الخامسة لمرحلة الدوري لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.
وتغلب تشيلسي على برشلونة بثلاثة أهداف دون مقابل، وسجل له إستيفاو وليام ديلاب، هذا بالإضافة إلى تقدمه بفضل هدف عكسي سجله جول كوندي بالخطأ في مرمى فريقه.
وأشار ماريسكا إلى لاعبه إستيفاو الذي قدّم أداءً مميزًا خلال المواجهة أمام برشلونة، مشيرًا إلى تصريحات البرازيلي رافينها لاعب برشلونة.

وسبق وصرح رافينها قبل مواجهة الفريقين بأنه لا يحب المقارنة بين اللاعبين، حين سُئل عن مواطنه إستيفاو وزميله لامين، وأكد أنهما من ظواهر كرة القدم.
وقال ماريسكا في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية: “قال رافينها ذلك، وأنا أتفق معه، إستيفاو ولامين يامال سيكونان المنافسة الكبرى القادمة، ميسي وكريستيانو جيلهما”.
وأضاف: “عمره 18 عامًا فقط، موهبة فطرية، والأهم من ذلك، أنه لا يكترث بالضجيج، لا يعيش على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي، بل يعيش من أجل كرة القدم”.
Newcastle United defender Sven Botman was dubbed “utterly embarrassing” after the role he played in Brentford’s third goal on another afternoon to forget for the Magpies on their travels.
Tierney took centre-stage, the former denying Brentford what looked a clear penalty for a foul by Dan Burn – instead booking Dango Ouattara for a dive – and the latter surprisingly agreeing.
But, lo and behold, a few minutes later when Ouattara went down again under Burn’s challenge, Attwell this time pointed to the spot and showed the hapless Burn a second yellow card.
Igor Thiago rolled in the penalty and added a third in stoppage time to condemn Newcastle to more misery on their travels on the fourth anniversary of Eddie Howe’s appointment as manager.
The big controversy erupted when Ouattara tumbled, Burn protested his innocence and Attwell waved away Brentford claims for a spot-kick and flashed the yellow card instead.
Replays showed Burn had clearly made contact with Ouattara’s foot before he went down but Tierney upheld Attwell’s decision, “minimal contact” was the official explanation.
Then came the reprise; Ouattara brought down again by Burn. This one was maybe less convincing, but Attwell pointed to the spot.
Sven Botman dubbed "utterly embarrassing" in Newcastle defeat
A lot of the blame will be put on Burn for his second yellow card and the penalty that he conceded as a result, but the rest of the Newcastle squad didn’t exactly enjoy excellent outings, either. Nick Woltemade came away with an assist, but largely struggled to make the ball stick for the Magpies going forward and Sven Botman looked a shadow of his best self.
At the centre of criticism, Sky Sports’ commentary team took aim at Botman after Thiago scored his second of the afternoon, saying: “Sven Botman, I don’t think he knows that Thiago is behind him, he thinks Ramsdale is coming, he stops running, it’s going to end a sorry afternoon this for the Geordies.”
The criticism didn’t end there, either. Newcastle reporter Joel Bland dubbed Botman “utterly embarrassing” for Brentford’s third and final goal – a verdict that is hard to dispute.
The Dutchman was all too casual before Thiago took full advantage to leave Newcastle on just three Premier League wins in their opening 10 games. Alan Shearer accused the Newcastle squad of being “lazy” when they lost 3-1 against West Ham United last week. Now, a week later, Botman has been accused of not running.

Fast bowler responds to India not selecting him for their white-ball series against Australia in October
ESPNcricinfo staff15-Oct-2025
Mohammed Shami last played for India in March 2025•PTI
Mohammed Shami refuted any doubts about his fitness on the eve of Bengal’s first game of the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy, saying he wouldn’t be playing four-day cricket if he wasn’t feeling right.Shami last played for India during the 2025 Champions Trophy in March. The team has since gone on a Test tour of England, won the Asia Cup T20Is and swept West Indies 2-0 to kick off the new home season. It was in response to India excluding him from their next assignment – a white-ball tour of Australia starting later this month – that Shami said, “if I can play four-dayers [Ranji Trophy], I can also play 50-overs cricket.””Selection is not in my hands. If there is a fitness issue, I shouldn’t be here playing for Bengal,” the fast bowler was quoted as saying by PTI on Tuesday. “I think I do not need to speak on this and create a controversy. If I can play four-dayers [Ranji Trophy], I can also play 50-overs cricket.”Shami, who recently turned 35, has played only nine international games since recovering from ankle and knee injuries.”About giving an update, it’s not my responsibility to give an update or ask for an update,” he said. “It’s not my job to give updates on my fitness. My job is to go to the NCA [Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, formerly National Cricket Academy], prepare and play matches. That’s their matter who gives them updates or not. It’s not my responsibility.”India’s chief of selectors Ajit Agarkar explained Shami’s absence from Test cricket (his last outing was in June 2023) by saying he hadn’t played a lot of first-class matches in the last two-three years. “So, as a performer, we know what he can do. But, he will need to play something,” Agarkar said.Shami was a regular member of the Indian team, with 197 matches across formats since making his debut in 2013. He played a starring role during their run to the ODI World Cup final two years ago and remains hopeful of representing the country again. His recent performances include bowling 30 overs in nine matches in IPL 2025 and then turning up for East Zone in the Duleep Trophy this August.”Keep fighting, keep playing games. If you perform well, it will benefit you as well,” Shami said. “Selection is not in my hands. I can only prepare and play matches. I’ve no objection… If you don’t select me, then I will come here and play for Bengal. I’ve no issue with it.”I also don’t want to play in pain or make the [Indian] team suffer. I wanted to come back after the operation and make a strong comeback. I am trying to do the same. I am ready to go whenever they [selectors] want me to go.”Shami added he still values domestic cricket highly. “In the old days, Ranji Trophy was a big level for anyone. But today, we have a platform, and you think it’s an ‘insult’ to go back to play junior cricket like Ranji Trophy. I don’t think so. You should play four-day cricket.”
Over the last couple of weeks, Tottenham Hotspur have massively struggled to deliver within the final third, which has resulted in numerous disappointing results.
Thomas Frank will no doubt have huge questions to answer in the near future, with the Derby Day defeat against Arsenal the latest failure in his tenure after taking the reins in the summer.
The Dane made a bold decision to switch to a 5-4-1 system at the Emirates to try and nullify the threat posed by Mikel Arteta’s side, but ultimately, it was ineffective as seen by the 4-1 scoreline.
Such a decision also restricted the Lilywhites massively within attacking areas, as Richarlison’s long-range effort was the only moment of note in the final third.
Numerous figures from the club’s recent Premier League outings highlight the struggles in attacking areas, with an immediate solution desperately needing to be found by the manager.
The stats behind Spurs’ recent struggles in attacking areas
As previously mentioned, Sunday was an afternoon to forget for all Spurs supporters, with the defeat arguably the worst of Frank’s tenure after his appointment in June.
The defensive setup massively nullified their own attacking threat, resulting in an embarrassing 0.07 xG produced, with only one shot on target registered, excluding the goal.
In total, the Lilywhites only managed to notch a total of three shots, whilst also registering just four touches in the Gunners’ 18-yard box during the 90-minute contest.
However, the club’s struggles have also been evident in other outings, with the defeat to Chelsea on home soil at the start of the month also showcasing their struggles in front of goal.
Frank’s men failed to find the back of the net in the London derby, again only notching one shot on target and amassing a total xG of just 0.10 in the loss.
No player in the squad was able to complete a cross against Enzo Maresca’s men, which no doubt would have contributed to the lack of quality within the final third.
The Spurs star who can solve Frank’s attacking woes
Spurs’ lack of quality in front of goal has undoubtedly produced a cause for concern, especially given the numbers produced under Ange Postecoglou last season.
The Lilywhites managed to score 64 goals in the Premier League during 2024/25, an average of 1.7 per 90, despite recording a measly 17th-placed finish in England’s top-flight.
Such a tally was the sixth best in the division, but Frank’s men have been unable to replicate such levels over the last couple of months of the new season.
His men have netted 20 goals in the 12 league outings to date, an average of 1.6, with Richarlison sitting as their top scorer on five goals – a quarter of the whole team’s tally.
However, the manager could find an immediate solution to the Lilywhites’ issues in attacking areas by unleashing Brennan Johnson over the next few weeks.
The Welsh international netted 18 goals across all competitions last campaign, but has often struggled for starts under the Dane after the investment from the hierarchy.
Mohammed Kudus arrived in a £55m transfer from West Ham United, which has seen the Ghanaian international often fill the void on the right-hand side of the attack.
However, Johnson is deserving of a recall to the starting eleven, with his numbers from last campaign showcasing the threat he carries within the final third.
His goalscoring tally from 2024/25 was by far and away the highest of any player in the first-team squad, with his underlying figures reflecting his all-round quality.
The 24-year-old achieved a total xG and xA per 90 of 0.51, the third highest in the squad, which further highlights his ability to star alone or find a teammate in dangerous areas.

Johnson, who’s been labelled “impossible to defend” by one analyst, also ranked fourth in the first team for chances created – which could provide Richarlison with the ammunition to improve his own tallies.
Other tallies, such as 1.4 crosses completed per 90 and how dribble success of 56% both placed him in second position, with the winger having the all-round quality Frank’s men have hugely lacked.
There’s little denying that Johnson is a player who has divided opinion in North London, but his figures from last season highlight the quality he does possess with the ball at his feet.
If Frank is to find an immediate short-term solution to his side’s struggles, he may need to recall the Welshman back to his starting eleven against Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

Cruz Azul
O Cruz Azul desembarcou no Catar para disputar o “Derby das Américas” carregando dúvidas sobre o momento da equipe e também sobre o futuro do treinador Nicolás Larcamón. Eliminado na semifinal do Apertura 2025, o time mexicano tenta transformar o torneio da Fifa em uma chance de reabilitação — mas o treinador argentino fez questão de minimizar qualquer narrativa de “salvação”.

Em entrevista coletiva antes do confronto, nesta terça-feira (9), Larcamón demonstrou incômodo com a ideia de que vencer o Flamengo seria uma forma de resgatar a temporada. Quando questionado se a classificação ao jogo contra o Pyramids “salvaria o semestre”, o técnico respondeu de maneira firme que o objetivo do Cruz Azul não é apagar o passado recente, mas sim manter o padrão de jogo construído nos últimos meses. Ele frisou que a equipe precisa se concentrar em “executar seu estilo”, reforçando que o foco do elenco está na identidade e não em qualquer pressão externa.
Flamengo
O Flamengo chega ao seu terceiro Intercontinental em sete anos vivendo uma fase mágica, embalado pelas conquistas consecutivas da Libertadores e do Brasileirão sob o comando de Filipe Luís. Apesar da euforia da torcida, o treinador adota um discurso cauteloso, projetando um confronto intenso contra o Cruz Azul, equipe que elogiou pela força física e agressividade na pressão. Para o duelo, o Rubro-Negro continua sem o artilheiro Pedro (lesionado), mas celebra o retorno do zagueiro Léo Ortiz, que recuperado de contusão, deve retomar a titularidade na zaga ao lado de Léo Pereira.

يتزايد الغموض حول مستقبل رونالد أراوخو مدافع برشلونة على الرغم من استبعاد البلوجرانا التوقيع مع مدافع جديد في يناير إلا في حال حدوث أي تطورات غير متوقعة بشأن الأوروجوياني.
وقد لا يكون برشلونة قادراً على الإنفاق المالي الكبير في يناير نظراً لوضع النادي وسيحتاج لزيادة إيراداته أولاً من خلال الملعب الجديد بالإضافة لبند الرواتب، ويعتمد هانز فليك مدرب الفريق حالياً على جيرارد مارتن والذي قدم أداء بارزا ضد أتلتيكو مدريد.
ويعد مارك جويهي مدافع كريستال بالاس أحد اللاعبين الذين يراقبهم برشلونة وينتهي عقده بنهاية الموسم، ومع ذلك هناك منافسة من أندية ريال مدريد وبايرن ميونخ وأتلتيكو مدريد لضمه.
وبحسب “سكاي سبورت ألمانيا” فإن مدافع كريستال بالاس يرغب في الانتقال إلى بايرن ميونخ حتى في ظل اهتمام برشلونة وريال مدريد بخدماته.

ويعد بايرن ميونخ هو أول نادي تواصل مع جويهي، ويصر البافاري على التعاقد مع مدافع جديد الصيف المقبل على الرغم من احتمالية تمديد عقد دايوت أوباميكانو.
وقد يكون من الأفضل لبرشلونة التعاقد مع مدافع أكثر كفاءة مثل نيكو شلوتربيك مدافع بوروسيا دورتموند الذي يشبه إينيجو مارتينيز قلب دفاع البلوجرانا السابق والنصر السعودي الحالي أكثر في أسلوبه ويعد قائدًا حقيقيًا في خط الدفاع وقد يكون متاحاً بسعر مناسب حيث أنه سيدخل عامه الأخير في عقده مع بوروسيا دورتموند.
وكانت تقارير صحفية أخرى قد أشارت إلى أن بايرن ميونخ قد استعان بنجمه هاري كين لإقناع جويهي بالانضمام للفريق في الصيف، ويبدو أن المهاجم الإنجليزي سيمدد عقده الذي ينتهي في 2027.
Jamie Smith started to walk off when he saw a murmur on graphic on the big screen, but stopped after the footage was slowed down, showing the spike appearing after the ball had passed the bat

Simon Taufel, the former international umpire, has defended the decision to give England’s Jamie Smith out caught behind on review on the second day of the first Ashes Test in Perth.Smith, on 15, was cramped for room looking to pull a back-of-a-length ball from Brendan Doggett and was given not out by standing umpire Nitin Menon. Australia captain Steven Smith reviewed the decision on the insistence of Travis Head (fielding at short leg) and Alex Carey (wicketkeeper), and it was ultimately overturned by TV umpire Sharfuddoula after a long delay.Smith, England’s wicketkeeper, started to walk off the field when he saw a murmur on the Real Time Snickometer (RTS) graphic on the big screen at Perth Stadium, but stopped after the footage was slowed down, with the small spike appearing one frame after the ball had passed the bat.
But after four minutes of consideration, Sharfuddoula overturned the decision. “[There is a] spike as the ball has just gone past the bat,” he said. “[I am] satisfied the ball has made contact with the bat. My decision… Nitin, you need to change your decision from not out to out. There’s a clear spike as the ball had just passed [the bat].”The thousands of England supporters at the ground booed the decision and sang, “Same old Aussies, always cheating.” But Taufel, speaking on Channel 7’s coverage, said the right decision had been reached, citing the difference between “edge-detection technologies” used in Australia and elsewhere.”This is the difficulty when we have two types of edge-detection technologies around the world,” Taufel said. “Primarily, we use Hawkeye Ultra-Edge. In Australia, it’s one of the few countries in the world to use Real-Time Snicko.”It’s very difficult to come into a series with limited experience around how to judge RTS, but the conclusive evidence protocols with RTS [are that] if you get a spike up to one frame past the bat, that is conclusive. And in this particular case, that is exactly what was there.”Unfortunately, he [Sharfuddoula] didn’t want to pull the trigger quite as quickly as perhaps he could have or should have. And the guys in the truck were doing their utmost to show him and to slow it down and to try rocking and rolling that frame. For me, the correct decision was made: a spike [on] RTS after one frame past the bat, the batter has got to go.”The decision was reminiscent of several similar controversies during last year’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy between Australia and India.Mark Waugh, the former Australia batter, suggested on Kayo Sports’ coverage that Smith’s initial walk towards the dressing room might have influenced the decision to give him out.”I think Smith gave it away there,” he said. “I don’t think the umpire would have been convinced that he’d hit that if he’d stayed there. You’ve got to think if that takes that long to make a decision that there’s got to be some doubt there. But when Smith walked off, I think that’s what convinced the umpire. I think that’s the longest DRS decision I think I’ve seen.”
