Hanif Mohammad, the legendary Pakistan batsman, has successfully undergone an operation for liver cancer. Mohammad, 78, underwent the operation on Tuesday and will remain under observation for a week.”It (the cancer) has been diagnosed at an early stage and it has not spread anywhere else,” his surgeon Robert Hutchins told .According to a report in , Mohammad’s illness was diagnosed four weeks ago in a Karachi hospital. He flew to London for a second opinion, where he was operated on.”I am feeling fine. The surgeon has told me that it is just the start and it has not spread and that I have got to get it out,” Hanif told the paper. “I would have loved to watch the Lord’s Ashes Test but it seems that I will not be able to because I am told that I will have to stay in the ICU and hospital for a week, and then will have to rest for a month.”Mohammad was one of the earliest stars of Pakistan cricket, and his impeccable technique helped him set several world records. He holds the record for the longest innings in Test history, when he scored 337 in 970 minutes against West Indies in Barbados in 1957-58. In the next year, he set the world record for the highest first-class score when he scored an unbeaten 499 for Karachi against Bahawalpur, until he was overtaken by the former West Indies batsman Brian Lara.

De perfil discreto, lateral ganha 3ª chance no Corinthians neste domingo

MatériaMais Notícias

Embora o Corinthians esteja em situação bastante confortável no Campeonato Paulista, às vésperas das quartas de final do estadual, o jogo contra o Oeste, neste domingo, será especial para um jogador: contratado ainda no ano passado, o lateral-direito Michel Macedo fará seu segundo jogo oficial com a camisa do Timão nesta temporada – o terceiro, se contado o amistoso contra o Santos, em janeiro.

Aos 29 anos, Michel chegou ao Corinthians em outubro do ano passado, com contrato firmado até 2021 e vindo do Las Palmas, da Espanha. Estreou apenas contra o Botafogo, de Ribeirão Preto, em fevereiro, quando Fábio Carille optou por colocar em campo uma linha de defesa reserva.

Desde sua contratação, Michel tenta aproveitar as brechas nos treinos para mostrar serviço e agrada a comissão técnica pelo bom aproveitamento nas atividades. Mesmo assim, dificilmente terá sequência entre os titulares, já que Fagner é titular absoluto da posição há anos.

Animado com a possibilidade de entrar em campo mais uma vez, preferiu não conceder entrevistas durante a semana, antes do jogo. De perfil discreto, quis se concentrar nos pedidos do treinador para o duelo deste domingo e falar apenas após o duelo.

O Corinthians tenta encontrar um substituto para Fagner há algum tempo e confia na possibilidade de Macedo se adaptar no clube. Aos 29 anos, formou-se nas categorias de base do Flamengo e passou pelo Almería, da Espanha, e Atlético-MG antes de chegar ao Las Palmas.

كلوب يكتفي بـ8 لاعبين في بداية الاستعدادات للموسم الجديد.. موقف محمد صلاح

كشفت تقارير صحفية أن مدرب ليفربول، يورجن كلوب، سيكتفي بالعمل مع عدد صغير من أعضاء الفريق، في بداية المعسكر التدريبي قبل الموسم الجديد 2023/24.

وذكرت صحيفة “ميرور” الإنجليزية أن استعدادات فريق ليفربول للموسم الجديد ستبدأ غدًا السبت 8 يوليو.

وأوضحت أنه بالرغم من ذلك، فإن ثمانية لاعبين فقط من ليفربول سيكونون تحت تصرف كلوب في بداية المعسكر التدريبي.

وأشارت إلى أن المتاحين لبدء التدريبات، هم: “فابينيو، جو جوميز، داروين نونيز، جويل ماتيب وتياجو ألكانتارا، إلى جانب الثنائي ناثانيل فيليبس وستيفان بايتيتش، وكذلك الحارس أدريان”.

وأفادت أنه بالنسبة لأولئك الذين شاركوا مع منتخباتهم خلال الصيف، سيحضرون إلى ملعب تدريبات ليفربول يوم الثلاثاء 11 يوليو.

هذا الأمر يعني أن النجم المصري محمد صلاح لن يكون متاحًا في بداية الاستعدادات للموسم الجديد، حيث شارك مع منتخب مصر في مباراة دولية في وقت سابق من الشهر الماضي.

وخاض محمد صلاح مباراة رفقة منتخب مصر ضد غينيا، في التصفيات المؤهلة إلى كأس أمم إفريقيا 2024، قبل غيابه عن المباراة الودية ضد جنوب السودان.

من جهة أخرى، سيحصل الثنائي هارفي إليوت وكورتيس جونز على فترة راحة أطول، مقارنة بزملائهما في ليفربول، نظرًا لمشاركتهما مع منتخب إنجلترا تحت سن 21 عامًا في بطولة أوروبا.

ويبدأ ليفربول رحلته استعدادًا للموسم المقبل، في ألمانيا، قبل السفر إلى سنغافورة.

I backed Warner's judgment 100% – Clarke

Michael Clarke has said he backed David Warner’s decision to review his dismissal from a thick outside-edge despite telling Warner he thought the ball had made contact with the bat.

Michael Clarke has said he backed David Warner’s decision to review his dismissal from a thick outside-edge despite telling Warner he thought the ball had made contact with the bat.Australia’s use of the DRS has been poor throughout the series and that continued on the second day at Old Trafford, where Warner brought boos from the crowd when he walked to the crease and further jeers after his ill-judged referral.The edge off Graeme Swann was deflected off Matt Prior and snapped up at slip, not dissimilar to Stuart Broad’s controversial edge and non-walk at Trent Bridge. Clarke was at the non-striker’s end when Jonathan Trott completed the catch to dismiss Warner, who had struck his pad with his bat at the same time as the bat hit the ball, apparently confusing his judgement.”My reaction was, yes, I thought Davey hit it,” Clarke said. “But in fairness to Davey, if you have a look at the replay, he actually hit his pad at the same time so he obviously didn’t feel the ball hit the bat. We had a little discussion in the middle.”Let’s just say we disagreed, but in saying that, I did say to Davey that I would back his judgement 100%. He was confident he didn’t hit it so it was worth a look and I’ve said before I think that’s the way DRS should be used. I think if the batter feels that he didn’t hit the ball then his partner should back his judgement.”Acceding to the review could have been dangerous on Clarke’s part, because it left Australia at 365 for 5 with no referrals left, and a hefty first-innings score was always going to be necessary on a good batting pitch. As it turned out, Australia didn’t need the DRS again, as Clarke compiled 187 – his highest score outside Australia – and Brad Haddin and Mitchell Starc pushed the total to 527 for 7 before the declaration came.It was also Clarke’s first Test century batting at No. 4, a position that he took up in this match after Phillip Hughes was dropped. Despite the success, Clarke said he was unsure if he would remain at second drop in the future or move back to his more usual position at No. 5.”I got a hundred at No. 4, what a miracle,” Clarke joked after play. “I don’t know, we’ll assess in the second innings let alone the next Test match. The number doesn’t bother me. I’ve been saying it for a while. It’s nice though to finally have a hundred batting at No. 4 but I’m not sure.”I didn’t feel that great yesterday or today at the crease. I felt there was enough in the wicket – I played and missed a hell of a lot and had a fair bit of luck. Don’t get me wrong, I love the result. It’s better than getting zero, that’s for sure but I think I’ll be able to assess it more if we win the Test match.”Clarke’s runs, combined with valuable half-centuries from Chris Rogers, Steven Smith, Haddin and Starc, have at least given Australia a chance of the victory they need to retain any hope of winning the Ashes. The bowlers began well, collecting two England wickets after Clarke declared in the final session, but he said it was important they maintained their patience over the next three days.”It’s not the type of wicket you can force too hard,” he said. “You have to build up pressure. The bowlers will have to be exceptionally consistent like they were this afternoon. It is going to take a lot of time to bowl England out. Our bowlers have the discipline. I was pleased with the way Nathan Lyon started today. There was a bit of spin but more importantly there was some bounce there for him as well. He will play a big part in both innings.”The team should be extremely proud of the position we are in. We copped a bit of criticism after not making enough runs in the first two Test matches and rightly so. The way everybody did their job in the first innings is a credit to all the boys. We have worked exceptionally hard in the lead up to this Test match and it was nice to get the result. There is still a lot of work to do.”

Gustagol celebra mudança de status e pede concentração ao Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

Em pouco mais de dois anos, Gustagol mudou completamente seu status no Corinthians. Contratado no meio de 2016, ele não teve boas atuações, não marcou e foi emprestado em 2017 e 2018. De volta ao Timão em 2019, o centroavante já soma oito gols e é a principal esperança para a partida contra o Racing, nesta quarta-feira, às 21h30, pela volta da primeira fase da Copa Sul-Americana.

– Hoje não consigo sair de casa, fazer alguma coisa, nas minhas redes sociais mudaram muito, as críticas hoje são só elogios. Como eu falei, muitas pessoas que lá atrás me criticavam, me xingavam, queriam minha cabeça, me elogiam, pedem desculpas, estão felizes. Mas com tudo isso preciso manter os pés no chão, seguir com humildade e fazer o que venho fazendo – celebrou Gustagol, em entrevista ao site oficial da Copa Sul-Americana.

Gustagol também pediu concentração ao Corinthians no jogo contra o Racing. Como o duelo de ida terminou 1 a 1, o Timão precisa de uma vitória ou de um empate a partir de 2 a 2 para garantir a classificação. Nova igualdade por 1 a 1 leva a decisão para os pênaltis.

– A gente tem total condições de reverter o placar e sair com a vitória. Mas não pode ficar só falando. Tem de entrar no campo bem concentrado, e fazer o que a gente vem fazendo. Se a gente entrar concentrado, podemos, sim, sair classificados – afirmou.

Centro de formação de jogadores faz excursão ao Rio e encara Vasco e Flu

MatériaMais Notícias

Responsável pela formação de atletas em Minas Gerais, a A.M.D.H. (Associação Mineira de Desenvolvimento Humano) fará uma excursão pelo Rio de Janeiro nesta semana. A associação – responsável por revelar o atleta Fernando, de 20 anos, vendido ao Shakhtar Donetsk, da Ucrânia – enfrenta o Fluminense nesta terça-feira, dia 12, em Xerém. Depois, encara o Serrano, em Petrópolis, na quarta, e o Vasco, no CT Artsul, na quinta.

Franz Wendel, treinador da categoria sub-17, e Plínio Junior, técnico do sub-15, serão alguns dos profissionais da A.M.D.H. na excursão. Eles comentaram a experiência. O projeto é campeão do interior por quatro vezes no sub-17.

– Teremos uma semana muito rica, na qual enfrentaremos times grandes do Rio, o Fluminense e o Vasco, e poderemos observar atletas do Serrano. Acredito que será algo bastante produtivo para o clube, pois será uma chance de mostrarmos bons atletas, que podem ser observados e até mesmo captados por grandes clubes de lá. Além de tudo isso, serve de preparação para a nossa equipe para as futuras competições da temporada, o Campeonato Mineiro, a Taça BH e a Copa do Brasil – disse Franz.

– É uma experiência muito boa para os meninos. O Brasil é um país muito grande, então o futebol é diferente em cada estado, tem suas peculiaridades. Para os garotos, muito novos, que precisam ainda de rodagem, é algo muito interessante. Além de, claro, pensarmos na formação de nossa equipe, já que ainda estamos em início de temporada. Nosso time é competitivo e esperamos fazer bons jogos lá – Plínio.

Em julho de 2017, a A.M.D.H. ganhou destaque com a venda de Fernando, que estava no Palmeiras, ao Shakhtar Donetsk (UCR). O atleta, à época com 19 anos, foi formado na associação.

– Além dos resultados, conseguimos também encaminhar vários atletas a grandes clubes de todo o Brasil. São os frutos que a gente colhe deste grande trabalho, que vem evoluindo de forma rápida e eficiente. Um grande exemplo disso é o Fernando, que percebemos ser um atleta diferente logo no início dele aqui. A ascensão foi meteórica. Ele foi praticamente contratado pelo Palmeiras antes mesmo de finalizar a participação na Taça BH. É um garoto brilhante, tem um futuro enorme pela frente. Esperamos que “outros Fernandos” saiam daqui para brilhar mundo afora – disse Evandro Marçal, coordenador do projeto.

Criada em 2008, a Associação Mineira de Desenvolvimento Humano é uma instituição sem fins lucrativos, que iniciou suas atividades com a oferta de aulas de dança de salão para comunidades carentes de Nova Lima, com o apoio voluntário. Quatro anos depois, a entidade lançou o A.M.D.H. Futebol Clube, que desenvolve equipes de alto rendimento no futebol nas categorias infantil e juvenil na cidade de Betim. Logo em seu primeiro ano de existência, a equipe conquistou o terceiro lugar no Campeonato Mineiro Juvenil (sub-17), ficando à frente de Cruzeiro e América-MG. Em 2014 e 2018, a equipe foi vice-campeã do interior.

– O A.M.D.H. Futebol Clube é, de fato, o projeto mais audacioso da nossa instituição. Não é fácil montar um clube de futebol em Minas Gerais, pois a concorrência é forte. Além dos grandes clubes da primeira divisão do futebol brasileiro, temos várias equipes consolidadas no interior e região metropolitana. Mas, trabalhando forte e de forma séria, estamos conseguindo nosso espaço dentro deste cenário. Desde 2012, temos as equipes sub-15 e sub-17 sempre disputando o campeonato estadual e fazendo grandes campanhas, inclusive, com bons resultados frente a Atlético, Cruzeiro e América. Em 2017, passamos pela quarta vez consecutiva à segunda fase do Campeonato Mineiro na categoria sub-15 e conquistamos o título de Campeão Mineiro do Interior. Isso tudo é motivo de muito orgulho para nós e, claro, dá uma motivação a mais para seguir trabalhando e surpreendendo a cada dia – completou Evandro.

محمد شريف يعلق على فرصته المهدرة أمام الوداد بنهائي بطولة إفريقيا

تحدث محمد شريف مهاجم النادي الأهلي، علي تتويج المارد الأحمر بلقب دوري أبطال إفريقيا هذا الموسم، وفرصته المهدرة أمام مرمى الوداد في نهاية اللقاء.

وتوج الأهلي بدوري أبطال إفريقيا للمرة 11 في تاريخه، بعد الفوز على الوداد المغربي بنتيجة 3-2 بمجموع مباراتي الذهاب والإياب في نهائي البطولة الإفريقية.

وقال شريف خلال تصريحات عبر قناة أون تايم سبورت لبرنامج “ملعب أون تايم”: “مركزي حساس بعض الشيء وطبيعي الجماهير تطالب بإحراز الأهداف، الموسم الماضي لعبت لمدة نصف موسم بسبب الإصابة بالضامة”.

وأضاف: “تعرضت للحظات صعبة كثيرة، وعندما لا أشارك أكون غير سعيد وعندما أهدر فرصًا أتعجب كيف أهدرتها”.

وتابع: “حزين على إهداري فرصة الانفراد في مباراة الوداد المغربي بالأمس وكان طبيعيا أن تكون هدفًا، الكرة صعبة جدًا كان من الممكن أن أتصرف فيها أفضل من ذلك”.

وواصل: “عندما أكون سيء أعترف بذلك وألوم نفسي ولا أبرر لنفسي الخطأ، أحتاج للعب كثيرًا لأنه يفرق معي كثيرًا جدًأ، نجوم العالم كلهم يهدرون فرصًا ولا يوجد مهاجم يحرز كل الأهداف”.

وأكمل: “ذهبنا للمغرب وكان كل تركيزنا أننا نحرز هدفًا في مرمى الوداد ولم نذهب من أجل اللعب على التعادل”.

وأردف: “أنا بعيد بعض الشيء عن منتخب مصر وهذا طبيعي لأنني لم أشارك باستمرار مع النادي الأهلي في الفترة الأخيرة”.

واستطرد: “علي معلول أكثر لاعب يعرف ما الذي أفعله في الملعب ونبحث عن بعض دائمًا عندما أشارك، الوداد اخذ مننا بطولتين إفريقيا، وكان لا يجب علينا أن نفرط في البطولة الثالثة”.

وأكمل: “اللعب في الأهلي صعب جدًا، علينا ضغوطات ومسؤوليات، سنفرح ببطولة إفريقيا وبعد ذلك سنستعد لمباريات الدوري والبطولة المقبلة”. فيديو | محمد شريف يهدر هدف محقق للأهلي أمام الوداد بنهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا

وأضاف: “بالتأكيد غياب محمد الشناوي الحارس الأول للفريق خسارة كبيرة، لكن الفريق يمتلك حارسين على أعلى مستوى وهما علي لطفي ومصطفى شوبير”.

واختتم: “مصطفى شوبير قدم أداءً مميزًا في المباريات السابقة بالدوري الممتاز، و آخرها مباراة سيراميكا كليوباترا التي انتهت بفوز المارد الأحمر بهدف حسين الشحات”.

Miles proves his worth

Gloucestershire’s makeshift attack, led by 18-year-old Craig Miles, took control before a Hampshire fightback

Gloucestershire’s bowling attack is reflected in the state of Nevil Road at the moment – being in a state of repair. Cranes are swinging around the ground and the physiotherapist’s arms are equally as busy in the dressing room. But the bowlers Gloucestershire got on the field proved their worth on the opening day at Bristol.Around £10 million is being spent to upgrade the ground to keep Bristol as an international venue and, while only fractions of that sum are available for the playing staff, they earned every penny with a disciplined bowling display that ran through a far richer Hampshire batting order, save for Jimmy Adams’ loneliest of lone hands.The bowler who enjoyed most success must be one of the lowest paid professional cricketers in the country. Craig Miles, 18, signed a two-year deal last September when Gloucestershire’s financial pressure almost reached breaking point as they tried, and eventually succeeded on appeal, to get their development plans off the ground.Miles has potential to earn a few more quid from the game. He and all of Gloucestershire’s bowlers are capable of moving the ball either in the air or off the pitch but maintaining a consistent line and creating pressure has proved a major difficulty. They have leaked far too many runs too quickly.But here there was control not seen since Jon Lewis left the club two years ago. There were few four balls, they put together successive maidens and created sufficient pressure to force several loose strokes.The opening 10 overs was a textbook period of cricket with the new ball. Overs five, six, seven and eight yielded just one run and with the first ball of the ninth, Michael Roberts, an ersatz Michael Carberry, who is away with England Lions, followed a length ball from Will Gidman that nibbled away. He edged it behind and walked off with 9 on his Championship debut.Liam Dawson was drawn into driving to third slip in Gidman’s next over and a run out chance a delivery later encapsulated the pressure that Gloucestershire had developed.Hampshire bullied Leicestershire and Worcestershire in their opening two games but their mental capacity was found wanting last time out at Chelmsford and here they were guilty of being impatient. George Bailey attempted a second lavish cover drive in three balls and was bowled,Sean Ervine mistimed a drive and chipped to point, Chris Wood popped a catch up to mid-on and Adam Wheater swung across the line to be lbw to Jack Taylor. Indiscipline with the bat it may have been but Gloucestershire deserved much of their success. Miles’ second wicket of his three was a good delivery, nipping back to have James Vince lbw.Miles, born in Swindon, is one of a number of academy products creeping into the first XI out of necessity. A lack of available finance for the playing staff and a bad injury situation has given several Gloucestershire youngsters opportunities that might not have existed five years ago.He was called up last week against Leicestershire as the last fit bowler available. Currently Ian Saxelby, James Fuller, Liam Norwell and Paul Muchall are sidelined. You can therefore imagine the fear of the home supporters when Gidman left the field after tumbling in his follow-through. But it was a precautionary rest, described as an “ankle twinge” which Gloucestershire are not too concerned about.Before his early departure Gidman had bowled a fine opening spell – 8-2-10-2 – which in partnership with David Payne gave very little away. Miles then replaced Gidman to do the majority of the damage before rain, and Adams, prevented Gloucestershire closing out the Hampshire first innings on day one.
