Daniel Vettori believes New Zealand will be worse off for Australia’s 2-0 loss in India when the two teams meet in the first Test at the Gabba next Thursday. Vettori, the New Zealand captain, said Australia were always a major challenge at home and coming off the defeat in India they would be even more desperate to reassert their authority.”This is the first time I suppose that they’ve been beaten in a series comprehensively by an opposition side,” Vettori said. “I look at the Aussie team and think they are quite a resilient side and I’m sure they are going to bounce back and will want to answer some critics in the next couple of Test matches.”New Zealand have not won a Test in Australia since 1985-86 and are significant underdogs in the two-match series after they were forced to toil hard to beat Bangladesh last month. Australia are not the dominant force they once were – their past two Tests at home resulted in a draw and a loss to India – but they have failed to win only one of their past 13 home series.”You look at the Australia team and their performances in their own country over the last few years have been almost impeccable,” Vettori said. “It’s going to be difficult, I’m sure they will be hurting as a side after losing the Test series.”Since their previous Test tour of Australia in 2004-05, New Zealand have lost several key players and of the squad for Brisbane, only Vettori, Brendon McCullum, Chris Martin and Kyle Mills have Test experience in Australia. The loss of Jacob Oram, who has a back injury, is a major blow, although Vettori expects his side will be competitive.”We are quite inexperienced, but in saying that I still think this is a nucleus of a good side, so hopefully we can come here and perform,” he said. “But I think you will see the best of this side as it starts to mature, particularly our young batsmen.”New Zealand have been training at the SCG ahead of their only tour match, a four-day game against New South Wales that begins on Thursday. After the Gabba Test the teams head to Adelaide for the second and final Test, which starts on November 28.

Em meio ao período de transferências na Europa, o São Paulo deu um passo importante para atender a Rogério Ceni e não perder mais jogadores. Junior Tavares, que despertou interesse do holandês Ajax, acertou a renovação de seu contrato até o final de 2021. O novo vínculo deve ser assinado nas próximas semanas.

A informação sobre a prorrogação do compromisso do lateral-esquerdo foi dada inicialmente pelo Globo Esporte.com e confirmada pelo LANCE!O jogador de 20 anos recebeu aumento de salário para ampliar seu contrato atual, que se encerra em 2019.

– Na semana passada, encaminhamos a renovação com o São Paulo até o fim de 2021. Só falta assinar o contrato e é só falta análise jurídica na elaboração do contrato mesmo. Na semana que vem ou na outra, o novo contrato será assinado – disse Fabiano Carpegiani, representante de Junior Tavares, ao LANCE!

O São Paulo se mexeu enquanto o Ajax não se posiciona oficialmente para levar o jogador. O time teve observadores no Morumbi para vê-lo na vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o Avaí, no último dia 22, e um dirigente do clube, com voz ativa para fazer uma oferta, esteve no estádio para acompanhá-lo no triunfo sobre o Palmeiras, também por 2 a 0, no dia 27.

Comenta-se na Holanda que o Ajax prepara uma proposta de 8 milhões de euros (quase R$ 30 milhões) pelo lateral-esquerdo e nenhuma das partes envolvidas com ele descartam a negociação. Mas, até agora, nada oficial chegou, e Junior Tavares segue como peça importante no time de Rogério Ceni.

– Observadores do Ajax viram dois jogos no Morumbi, no mês passado, e voltaram para a Holanda. Disseram que gostaram bastante, que o Junior tem características que eles apreciam, só que não me falaram de valores. Pode ser que façam proposta, mas garanto: a cabeça do Junior está inteiramente dentro do São Paulo – falou Fabiano Carpegiani.

Junior Tavares foi formado pelo Grêmio, mas atuou pelo time sub-20 do São Paulo no ano passado e, após ser aprovado por Rogério Ceni, a diretoria comprou 50% de seus direitos econômicos. No acordo com o clube gaúcho, a equipe tem até 2019 para adquirir mais 30% dos direitos de Junior por um valor considerado baixo pela diretoria no Morumbi, até pela importância do jogador, presente em 31 das 31 partidas do time em 2017.

A CBF confirmou na noite desta terça-feira que o jogo entre Palmeiras e Grêmio, dia 1º de julho, sábado, acontecerá no Pacaembu, às 16h. O duelo pela 11ª do Campeonato Brasileiro não será disputado no Allianz Parque, pois no mesmo dia haverá o show da cantora Ariana Grande na arena.

Esta será a segunda partida que o Verdão mandará no ano fora do Palestra Itália. Nas quartas de final do Campeonato Paulista, o time venceu o Novorizontino por 3 a 0 no estádio municipal.

Embora inaugurado no fim 2014, curiosamente o Allianz Parque ainda não recebeu o Grêmio em jogos do Brasileiro. Naquele ano, o jogo entre os dois times aconteceu um mês antes da estreia da arena – vitória palmeirense por 2 a 1 no Pacaembu. Nas edições de 2015 e 2016, mais dois triunfos alviverdes no Pacaembu: 3 a 2 e 4 a 3.

O Grêmio só foi ao Allianz no ano passado, em jogo das quartas de final da Copa do Brasil. O confronto terminou em 1 a 1, e os gaúchos passaram de fase.

كشفت تقارير صحفية، أن نادي تشيلسي لن يتوقف عند خاليدو كوليبالي في دعم دفاعه، وإنما يبحث عن أهداف أخرى خلال الميركاتو.

رحل عن تشيلسي الثنائي أنطونيو روديجر وأندريس كريتنسن، ويسعى توماس توخيل لتعويضهما، وهو ما يحدث خلال هذا الميركاتو.

خاليدو كوليبالي أصبح قاب قوسين أو أدنى من التوقيع رسميًا لـ تشيلسي قادمًا من نابولي.

فابريزيو رومانو الصحفي الإيطالي المختص بالصفقات وعقود اللاعبين والمدربين بشبكة “سكاي”، أكد أن تشيلسي الآن في مفاوضات مع مانشستر سيتي لضم ناثان آكي، وكذلك مع باريس سان جيرمان للتعاقد مع كيمبيمبي.

النادي الإنجليزي فقد الأمل في ضم مدافع يوفنتوس، ماتياس دي ليخت، الذي يقترب بشكل أكبر بكثير من الانضمام إلى بايرن ميونخ الألماني.

ويرى تشيلسي أن ضم ناثان آكي وكيمبيمبي وارد في حالة توصل لاتفاق مادي مناسب مع نظيره الإنجليزي وكذلك النادي الفرنسي من أجل الثنائي.

Leicester City will be hoping to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they host champions Manchester City this afternoon.

The Foxes pulled off an astonishing 5-2 victory over the Cityzens at the Etihad Stadium last season, as well as defeating them in last month’s Community Shield, and Brendan Rodgers may be able to repeat the trick at the King Power Stadium this time around.

After the likes of Patson Daka, Boubakary Soumare and Jannik Vestergaard arrived in the Midlands over the summer transfer window, Leicester’s recruitment got even better on deadline day when Ademola Lookman signed on a season-long loan deal from RB Leipzig.

The 23-year-old impressed with Fulham last season, bagging four goals and providing four assists in 34 top-flight appearances, and Rodgers is looking forward to working with the youngster this time around.

“I’m really excited about working with Ade. He’s a top talent. I wanted to take him to Celtic when he was at Charlton. I was aware of him when he was 15,” he said in Thursday’s press conference.

“He has all the tools; he has a great dribbling ability, how he views the game, he has an eye for a goal. My hope is that this environment will give him a chance to flourish. Hopefully, he can find a home here. I have no doubt the supporters will be excited by him.”

Lookman could get a first chance to impress his new fanbase when Pep Guardiola brings his charges to the King Power Stadium, with Rodgers confirming that the former England under-21 international is available for selection.

“He’s available. He looks fit and strong. If he doesn’t start, he may play some part in the game,” the Northern Irishman revealed.

Although Lookman prefers to be on the left wing, allowing him to cut inside on his stronger right foot and unleash efforts on goal, Harvey Barnes’ presence on that flank could see him fielded in a more unusual role.

“He can play in a number of positions. His preferred position is off the left side. He can play on the inside as well and on the right. He’s very balanced,” Rodgers admitted.

Therefore, the former Liverpool boss must take advantage of his new signing’s versatility and unleash him against Manchester City today.

With Ayoze Perez unavailable through suspension, this could be the ideal game for Lookman to get used to his new surroundings without any great pressure to perform, and he could inspire the Foxes to another memorable victory over Guardiola’s side.

Paul Hibbert, the opening batsman who played one Test for Australia in 1977-78, has been found dead in his Melbourne home

Cricinfo staff28-Nov-2008Paul Hibbert, the opening batsman who played one Test for Australia in 1977-78, has been found dead in his Melbourne home. Hibbert, 56, was reportedly found by police in his loungeroom after a relative became concerned at not having heard from him for more than a week.A watchful left-hand batsman, Hibbert was part of the Victoria side for a decade and he finished his first-class career with 4790 runs at 38.62. He was named for the Gabba Test against India in December 1977 and made 13 from 77 balls in the first innings and 2 in the second. “He was a bit unlucky to make his debut on a greentop at the Gabba,” former Victoria captain Ray Bright said. “If it had been a flat deck at Adelaide, who knows how he would have gone? It’s all a matter of opportunity.His son Daniel said an autopsy had showed that Hibbert had suffered an internal haemorrhage, possibly related to alcoholism. He was believed to have also been suffering from depression.His call-up came after he made a remarkably defensive century against the Indians in their tour match in Melbourne. Hibbert became only the second batsman to score a hundred without managing a boundary. Hibbert was also a useful left-arm medium-pace bowler and he collected 15 first-class wickets.

Frank McAvennie has accused Celtic full-back Anthony Ralston of being ‘lazy’ in the defeat to Real Betis on Thursday. 

The 61-year-old, a former striker who had two memorable spells with the Hoops, was speaking to Football Insider.

The lowdown

Celtic fell to defeat in their Europa League Group G opener at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in Seville.

They actually led 2-0 inside the half-hour mark, but quickfire goals from the hosts levelled the game before half-time and Betis were up 4-2 by the 53rd minute as the Celtic defence collapsed.

Ralston’s header in the 87th minute reduced the arrears, but Ange Postecoglou’s side were unable to claw back a point in the short time that remained.

The latest

McAvennie was keen to stress that Ralston’s attacking output has been impressive – he has now scored three goals and provided one assist this season – but the Parkhead legend wants more commitment defensively from the £5,500-a-week earner, who was caught out of position for the goal from which Betis took the lead.

“Ralston wasn’t tracking back last night,” McAvennie told Football Insider on Friday. “I know he’s trying hard and doing well, scoring goals which is impressive for a full back.

“I just want my defenders to defend, it’s lazy. Celtic can’t keep playing well and losing.

“The manager needs to tighten it up because we keep conceding.”

The verdict

The statistics can only account for so much, but the bare numbers actually reflect pretty well on Ralston despite the above criticism. He won the majority of his 14 ground duels and wasn’t dribbled past at any point during the game (via SofaScore).

Still, you can understand McAvennie’s frustration given that this feels like a major missed more opportunity for Celtic. It’s such a difficult group, with games against Ferencvaros, who knocked Celtic out of the Champions League qualifiers in 2020, and Bayer Leverkusen to come.

Sete pontos. Essa agora é a diferença do líder Corinthians para o segundo colocado Grêmio na tabela do Campeonato Brasileiro. O Timão aumentou sua vantagem neste domingo, ao vencer o Botafogo por 1 a 0, na Arena em Itaquera, pela 11ª rodada. O vice-líder havia sido derrotado pelo Palmeiras no sábado.

Enquanto o Corinthians se distancia na ponta, o Botafogo segue no meio da tabela, agora em nono lugar. A diferença de 14 pontos entre os dois times pôde ser explicada no jogo deste domingo…

Do time considerado ideal, o Corinthians só não teve o atacante Romero, que cumpriu suspensão. O Botafogo, por sua vez, foi a campo com um mistão, por conta da sequência de jogos e já de olho no confronto com o Nacional (URU), quinta, pela Libertadores. Emerson Silva, Carli, Lindoso, Pimpão e Roger foram poupados.
A estratégia do Botafogo ficou bem clara: ficar fechadinho e buscar contra-ataques. E deu certo durante o primeiro tempo, porque o Corinthians não conseguia achar espaços para criar. O Timão rodava a bola, mas não penetrava, e só levou certo perigo após erros nas saídas de bola do Botafogo e pelo alto.

Sem a necessidade de ter dois volantes, já que o adversário praticamente não atacava e deixava apenas dois jogadores mais avançados, o técnico Fábio Carille deixou o Corinthians mais ofensivo na volta do intervalo. Marquinhos Gabriel entrou no lugar de Gabriel, o Timão passou a atuar no 4-1-4-1 e, enfim, conseguiu criar chances de gol.

Em cinco minutos do segundo tempo, o Corinthians fez mais do que nos 45 da etapa inicial. E o goleiro Gatito começou a se tornar o principal jogador botafoguense. Aos dois, ele fez boa defesa após chute de Rodriguinho, livre dentro da área. Aos cinco, defendeu o pênalti cobrado por Jô – a marcação, aliás, foi equivocada pelo árbitro, já que Guilherme Arana sofreu falta fora da área.

O Corinthians manteve a pressão. O Botafogo abdicou de jogar e foi castigado. Estava na cara que o gol do Timão era só questão de tempo, e veio aos 33 minutos. Pedrinho, que havia acabado de entrar, chapelou pela esquerda e cruzou para Jô, que parou em Gatito. Rodriguinho chutou no rebote, mas também parou no goleiro. No segundo rebote, Gatito não pôde fazer nada: Jô chutou rasteiro, entre os defensores.

Após o gol sofrido, o Botafogo não teve forças para reagir e buscar o empate. O Timão, como sabe fazer muito bem quando está em vantagem no placar, rodou a bola e gastou tempo. Teve até gritos de “olé” nos minutos finais.

O líder agora tem um raro período sem jogos: volta a campo apenas no sábado, contra a Ponte Preta. Já o Botafogo tem importante duelo nesta quinta-feira, diante do Nacional, no Uruguai, pela Libertadores.
