Being the only [Indian] woman doing it for so many years has been lonely, but the pressure has been high, that kind of stuff is something I can truly help with.”Royal Challengers put together a star-studded line-up at the inaugural auction, headlined by Smriti Mandhana, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Sophie Devine, Dane van Niekerk and Richa Ghosh.The team will open its WPL campaign on March 5, the second day of the tournament, against Delhi Capitals at Brabourne Stadium.

وكاد بورتو أن يستقبل هدفًا قبل نهاية الشوط الأول بلحظات لولا استبسال حارس المرمى، كلاوديو راموس، الذي تصدى لتسديدة ثم ارتدت الكرة لتليها تسديدة أخرى، وتصدى لها، لترتد وتتحول إلى تسديدة جديدة من بالميراس ولكن دفاع الفريق البرتغالي هو من تصدى تلك المرة.

Allrounder Shikha Pandey has made a comeback to India’s T20I squad for the tri-series as well as the World Cup in South Africa early next year, while Pooja Vastrakar has been included “subject to fitness”.Pandey last played for India on the tour of Australia in October 2021, but has forced her way back through strong performances in domestic cricket. She will lead a seam attack that includes Renuka Singh, Vastrakar and rookie left-armer Anjali Sarvani, who made her debut in the recent five-match T20I series against Australia at home.Seamer Meghna Singh, who featured in the Australia T20Is, isn’t part of the squad but will be in the reserves alongside batter S Meghana and allrounder Sneh Rana. Meghna went wicketless in the two matches she played against Australia, and also conceded runs at 13.66 an over.All three reserve players, however, are part of India’s squad for the tri-series in South Africa in the lead-up to the World Cup.Pandey, who captains Goa, had taken 11 wickets in seven matches in the senior women’s domestic T20 competition at a miserly economy of 4.28. She was equally impressive for South Zone in the inter-zonal T20s, picking up five wickets in three games at an economy of 4.05.Vastrakar, meanwhile, is currently recovering from an unspecified injury that has kept her out of action since October this year.India have stuck to their strengths by picking a spin-heavy attack for the T20 World Cup, led by allrounder Deepti Sharma and Rajeshwari Gayakwad, with Devika Vaidya capable of bowling useful legspin in addition to her middle-order batting abilities.Richa Ghosh, who is set to play in the inaugural Under-19 World Cup next month, will be the first-choice wicketkeeper in the Harmanpreet Kaur’s squad. Yastika Bhatia, the left-hand middle-order batter, has been named as back-up.Pooja Vastrakar has been included in the T20 World Cup squad “subject to fitness”•ECB/Getty Images

There were no major surprises in the batting line-up, with Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues and Harleen Deol all in the mix. Like Ghosh, the India Under-19 captain Shafali will head into the competition on the back of the junior World Cup campaign.With both Shafali and Ghosh missing from the tri-series involving West Indies and South Africa, the selectors have rewarded Punjab batter Amanjot Kaur with a maiden India call-up for her domestic form. Amanjot was Punjab’s top run-getter in the domestic T20s, hitting 192 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 105.49.There was also a comeback for wicketkeeper Sushma Verma, who was picked in the tri-series squad. Sushma was the third highest run-scorer in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, making 237 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 105.80. She had played the last of her 19 T20Is in 2016 and is one of two wicketkeepers in the squad alongside Yastika.India, runners-up to Australia at the previous T20 World Cup in 2020, are still searching for their maiden world title. They’re placed alongside England, West Indies, Pakistan and Ireland in Group B. India will open their campaign against Pakistan on February 12 in Cape Town.Their first match in the tri-series that precedes the World Cup is slated for January 19 against hosts South Africa.Squad for Women’s T20 World Cup 2023: Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Richa Ghosh (wk) Jemimah Rodrigues, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Devika Vaidya, Radha Yadav, Renuka Thakur, Anjali Sarvani, Pooja Vastrakar, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Shikha Pandey
Reserves: S Meghana, Sneh Rana, Meghna Singh.Squad for tri-series in South Africa: Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), Smriti Mandhana, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Jemimah Rodrigues, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Devika Vaidya, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Radha Yadav, Renuka Thakur, Meghna Singh, Anjali Sarvani, Sushma Verma (wk), Amanjot Kaur, Pooja Vastrakar, S Meghana, Sneh Rana, Shikha Pandey.

Man City plotting transfer move for £25m star who City Group already know

da betcris: Manchester City are interested in signing a £25 million player who the City Group are already aware of, according to a new report.

Man City transfer news

da 888casino: Given how the last few weeks have gone for Pep Guardiola and City, January could be a busy month for the Premier League champions. The fact that goals are being conceded, and they are struggling to score enough at the other end of the pitch means the Blues could be looking to strengthen multiple positions in the squad.

It was reported on Wednesday that Man City are considering signing Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton in the New Year. The Blues are taking a “keen interest” in the England international, as he has rejected several contract offers from Everton. The new Everton owners, The Friedkin Group, hope their ambitions for the future will persuade Branthwaite to stay but have made no progress yet. Branthwaite has been a long-term target of Manchester United’s, but City are now also taking an interest in the talented defender.

January could also be a time that City add to their forward line, as they failed to replace Julian Alvarez in the summer. The Blues have heavily relied on Erling Haaland, and they are now interested in signing PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani on loan to ease the burden. City are showing genuine interest in a possible deal, and informal contacts have been made through intermediaries to get an understanding of the player’s current situation.

Man City plotting transfer swoop for £25m player

Kolo Muani is not the only striker that is on their radar, as according to TBR Football, Man City are interested in signing Manfred Ugalde from Spartak Moscow. The 22-year-old joined the Russian side in January of this year from FC Twente, and it is a transfer that has seen his career come alive.

The Costa Rica international has 15 goals in 18 Premier Liga games this season, which is the most he has scored in a single game in his career. Spartak Moscow is Ugalde’s fourth club of his career, as he’s also played for FC Twente, Saprissa, and Lommel SK. It is the latter where the City Group already know Ugalde, as they are the ones that brought him to Europe and Lommel SK.

The report states that his form in Russia has brought him to the attention of Man City, as well as Arsenal and Chelsea. City have already been made aware by Ugalde’s representatives that he is available for £25 million, as that is what his release clause is worth.

The Blues are said to like the young striker a lot and are keeping a close eye on him ahead of the January transfer window opening.

Ferraresi se coloca à disposição para jogar 'onde der no São Paulo': 'Decisão quem toma é o técnico'

MatériaMais Notícias

da 888: O técnico Rogério Ceni ganhou, enfim, um reforço para a posição mais carente do elenco do São Paulo: foi apresentado nesta segunda-feira (15) como a última contratação na janela de transferências o zagueiro Nahuel Ferraresi. E em suas primeiras falas como jogador tricolor, o venezuelano de 23 anos deve ter garantido a satisfação do treinador, se colocando à disposição para atuar em qualquer lado do campo.

– Posso jogar linha de quatro, ou com uma linha de cinco defensores. Me sinto mais cômodo jogado por algum dos lados, mas posso jogar pelo centro também. Como em todos os lados, farei uma competição saudável com meus companheiros. A decisão quem toma é o técnico, se for para eu ficar fora, ficarei fora e esperarei o momento. Se estiver em campo, darei o melhor possível para ajudar a equipe.

Ao explicar suas características durante a entrevista de apresentação, o novo camisa 44 procurou explicar o que pensa da posição de zagueiro e mostrou conhecimento das tarefas que terá de ter em campo para agradar Ceni.

– Um zagueiro, o trabalho dele é defender, isso não se negocia. Tem que estar concentrado 100%. Depois com bola, tem que saber quando tem que jogar e quando não tem que jogar. Fazer as coisas bem e ajudar a equipe.

Sincero ao apontar as dificuldades de não atuar profissionalmente desde maio, quando acabou a temporada portuguesa, onde estava defendendo o Estoril, Ferraresi, apontou que será franco também à comissão técnica sobre o melhor momento para fazer sua estreia pelo time do Morumbi.

-Ainda esta semana vamos arrumar algumas coisas, seguirei treinando com o grupo, falarei com o grupo técnico, se eu me sentir bem falo com eles, se não me sentir bem falo também.

Por fim, o novo defensor tricolor valorizou o fato de ter a oportunidade de jogar no São Paulo ao lado de nomes que aprendeu a admirar no futebol europeu, como o zagueiro Miranda, o lateral Rafinha e o atacante Éder.

– Obviamente eu fico orgulhoso de compartilhar clube com o Miranda, sempre segui o futebol internacional e vi ele jogando pelo Atletico de Madrid, e não só ele, o Rafinha, Eder… e compartilhar momentos com eles, me faz aprender para somar.

Clement may have unearthed his own John McGinn with £4.5m Rangers star

da bet7: Glasgow Rangers manager Philippe Clement may have bought himself some time after the excellent victory over Nice in the Europa League in midweek.

da fezbet: He is still under pressure, but if he can somehow turn around the club’s fortunes between now and January, he could be given the window to bring in new players.

His record in the market hasn’t been great, although there have been a few standouts.

Clement’s best Rangers signings

Vaclav Cerny can lay claim to being one of the Belgian’s best signings this season, scoring eight times and chipping in with five assists across 20 games for the Gers.

He may only be on loan, but could the board convince him to join permanently?

Nedim Bajrami is another attacking player who joined in the summer. Costing around £3.4m, the Albanian has made an impressive start to life in Glasgow, adding some class to an attack that was stagnating.

In Europe, the former Sassuolo midfielder has created six big chances, averaged 2.4 key passes and succeeded with 2.6 dribbles per game, indicating how vital he has been in the final third.

Both have been crucial at times this season. In terms of future potential, however, Mohamed Diomande has the ability to star at the very highest level. The onus is now for the Ivorian to produce the goods on a more consistent basis for the Gers.

Mohamed Diomande's stats vs Nice

The midfielder delivered one of his most impressive displays of the season against Nice, just when it mattered most. Not only did he get on the scoresheet, but Diomande also won 50% of his total duels, attempted two dribbles and made two tackles as he shone at the heart of the midfield for the Light Blues.

It was a performance which hasn’t been on show over the previous few months, despite his seemingly limitless potential. Hailed as “aggressive” by analyst John Walker upon his arrival, more displays like this in the future could attract some attention.

Mohamed Diomande

He certainly has the required attributes to compete in the Premier League and is even similar to Aston Villa and Scotland star John McGinn, according to FBref, among those in his position across Europe.

The Scot – who, like Diomande, is an attack-minded, left-footed midfielder – has been one of Unai Emery’s key players since the Spaniard took charge in October 2022 and Clement could unearth his very own version of the former Hibernian starlet in Diomande.

John McGinn

The £4.5 signing from FC Nordsjaelland has demonstrated his qualities in spells since moving to Rangers at the start of the year, with the hope that he can reach similar levels to that of McGinn.

The experienced asset left Hibs for just £2m back in 2018, yet is now deemed to be worth £26m, according to Transfermarkt, and is the fifth-highest scorer in his nation’s history.

Football FanCast's Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

As for Diomande, following the stunning display against Nice, this could be the start of something special, performing at a level which could see the club’s fortunes change in the next couple of months.

Clement has his own McGinn at his fingertips, no doubt about that.

Coluna do Rolim: o julho mágico de Pedro, centroavante do Flamengo

MatériaMais Notícias

da pinup bet: Nove gols e quatro assistências em oito jogos – nem todos completos. Foram 30 minutos contra o Corinthians e 45 contra o Juventude. Pedro, do Flamengo, foi o jogador brasileiro de maior destaque no mês de julho. Ganhou até um expectador especial no Maracanã no jogo contra o Athletico-PR: Tite. Hora, então, de analisar seus gols, assistências e seu encaixe no ataque fazendo dupla com Gabigol, ou trio, com a participação de Arrascaeta.

Pedro tem cara de centroavante de área, jeito de centroavante de área e faz a maioria absoluta dos seus gols de dentro da área, mas, nos últimos jogos, vem saindo bastante para ocupar o lado esquerdo de ataque (mapas de calor no vídeo). Pedro flutua pelo lado esquerdo para que Arrascaeta possa centralizar na entrelinha e se aproximar de Everton Ribeiro e Gabigol.

da poker
O Flamengo vem jogando muito pelo lado direito, por característica e por modelo. A saída é feita com os zagueiros e Filipe Luis, liberando Rodinei para pisar na linha lateral já em campo ofensivo. Everton Ribeiro, pela meia direita, busca mais a bola para distribuir que João Gomes, que vem jogando na meia esquerda, e o jogo acaba se desenvolvendo pela direita. Com o time sobrecarregando o lado da bola, Pedro balança para o lado oposto. Mas essa compensação que Pedro faz não parece afetar seus números.

Dos nove gols convertidos no mês de julho, quatro foram em cabeceios, todos muito próximos ao gol, com passes ou cruzamentos que vieram do forte lado direito. Os outros cinco gols foram feitos com o seu pé direito, chapando bolas na grande área ou consertando e orientando o corpo na pequena área para finalizar o mais rápido possível.

Pedro chama a atenção tanto pelo bom chute colocado de média distância quanto pela rapidez com que se orienta para finalizar pressionado no meio da defesa adversária. E no 4-4-2 em losango de Dorival, Pedro e Gabigol foram acomodados no ataque com os pés invertidos, facilitando a finalização do passe que bem pelo meio. Gabi chega pela direita batendo com a canhota e Pedro, destro, chega pela esquerda batendo de primeira.

Mas o que faz brilhar o olho – meu e provavelmente do Tite – são as assistências quando sai da área para jogar na entrelinha. No último jogo de julho pelo Brasileirão, contra o Avaí, Pedro acionou Arrascaeta duas vezes enquanto o uruguaio rompia a defesa e atacava a profundidade. Das suas quatro assistências para gol, duas foram assim, contra o Atlético Mineiro e contra o Tolima. Sai da área, recebe, temporiza com a bola, espera o momento certo e dá o passe nas costas da zaga. As outras duas assistências foram de cabeça, raspando a bola na antecipação ou na jogada de primeiro pau para a finalização de quem vem no segundo pau.

Quando chamo o mês de julho de mágico, é porque o normal é regredir em agosto. Pensar que um atacante fará nove gols e quatro assistências todo mês é ter uma expectativa que não vai se confirmar. O que se espera, do Pedro ou de outro jogador com potencial de Seleção, é que mantenha uma boa média e bom desempenho.

Gary Ballance released by Yorkshire in bid for fresh start in wake of racism case

Batter will not play Championship cricket for another county in 2023 season

Gary Ballance, the former England batter, has been released from his contract with Yorkshire, after requesting the chance for a fresh start to his career following the damaging revelations that emerged during the club’s racism scandal last year.Ballance, the former club captain, played 23 Tests, as well as 16 ODIs, between 2014 and 2017, scoring four centuries at an average of 37.45 that compared favourably with many of England’s other middle-order selections in that period.However, he was heavily implicated in Azeem Rafiq’s explosive testimony during the DCMS parliamentary hearings in Westminster last November, after his use of the racial slur “P**i” had been deemed to be “banter” in the initial report into allegations of institutional racism at Yorkshire.Ballance, who was born in Zimbabwe but was educated in England, claimed in mitigation that the word had been used in the context of a friendly relationship between the two players, with Rafiq referring to him as “Zimbo” in return. However, earlier this year, he met Rafiq in person to apologise.He has not played for Yorkshire since the end of the 2021 season, having taken a lengthy break from cricket to manage his mental health, during which time he has been supported by the club. However, with his contract due to run until the end of the 2024 season, he has agreed he will not play for another County Championship team in the 2023 season. A return to playing in Zimbabwe – and potentially putting himself forward for international selection – is his likely next step.He is one of seven Yorkshire players and staff to be charged by the Cricket Discipline Commission in relation to the racism case, although the hearing has been postponed to the new year following a series of appeals.Related

“It has been a privilege to play for this great club,” Ballance said. “On a personal level, I have gone through a challenging period – and after much discussion I decided, together with my family, that it would be right to make a change. I asked the club if it was willing to release me from my contract, and I am grateful for its understanding as we have reached agreement.”The support Yorkshire has given me off the pitch over the past year has been fantastic and I am appreciative of the club’s help, but I hope that my decision will mean that my career can have a fresh start.”Darren Gough, managing director of Yorkshire cricket, said: “We are sad to see Gary go, but he leaves with our best wishes. He has been a mainstay of our side for many years, and a superb batsman. As a club, we recognise that the last 18 months have been difficult for Gary, for numerous reasons, and the most important thing for him is to get better and play again. He felt he could not do this at Headingley, and we agreed to his request reluctantly but knowing that it was the right decision for him personally.”

Sobe e desce: quem foi bem e mal no Botafogo no primeiro turno do Brasileirão

da bet sport: As primeiras 19 rodadas do Brasileirão já se foram. O Botafogo terminou o primeiro turno do Campeonato Brasileiro dentro do objetivo interno: estar em uma zona de classificação a um torneio sul-americano no ano que vem.

da cassino: +Godoy Cruz pede mais dinheiro para liberar Ojeda ao Botafogo, e Textor cresce desinteresse em negociar

Ainda que entre altos e baixos, a impressão final deixado pela equipe comandada por Luís Castro é que a evolução está para chegar. Por isso, o LANCE!vai avaliar os jogadores que foram destaques positivos e negativos neste primeiro turno. O “sobe” vai para quem foi bem e o “desce” para quem pode melhorar.

SOBE

​Lucas Fernandes: regularidade é a palavra que define o camisa 18. Lucas tem apenas uma participação direta para gol no Brasileirão – uma assistência contra o América-MG -, mas mesmo assim lidera o meio-campo do Alvinegro e é um dos jogadores que mais chama a responsabilidade. A impressão inicial é de destaque.

Erison: o artilheiro do Glorioso não podia ficar de fora. ‘El Toro’ balançou as redes em sete oportunidades – está em quarto na briga pela artilharia do Brasileirão – e atormentou defesas com a força física.

Victor Cuesta: chegou com desconfiança pela relação conturbada no fim da passagem no Internacional mas logo deixou isso para trás. Por mais que ainda tenha uma falha ou outra no jogo aéreo, é praticamente impecável nas disputas no chão e ainda ajuda na construção do jogo com o começo da saída de bola.

Kayque: o camisa 62 era um dos destaques do time até sofrer uma grave lesão na vitória contra o Red Bull Bragantino, no começo do mês. Alinhando força física com facilidade para conduzir a bola, as boas atuações renderam, inclusive, um novo contrato ao garoto.

Gatito Fernández: pode não ser tão regular quanto os outros citados, mas o paraguaio garantiu resultados positivos ao Botafogo. Gatito teve atuações importantes, por exemplo, nas vitórias sobre Flamengo, Internacional e RB Bragantino.

DESCE

Renzo Saravia: chegou com expectativa pelo bom começo de passagem que teve no Internacional, mas não fez por onde. O camisa 2 sofre, principalmente, no setor defensivo e regularmente deixa lacunas na última linha. Perdeu a vaga no time titular para Daniel Borges no último jogo.

+John Textor cita que quer contratar Christian Benteke, do Crystal Palace, ao Botafogo

Kanu: é muito irregular. Vai de um jogo excelente para um ruim em um intervalo de uma rodada.

Patrick de Paula: carrega o peso de ser a maior contratação da história do Botafogo e convive com a expectativa da torcida em cima disso. Nunca se firmou como titular absoluto. Quando esteve em campo não deu a intensidade necessária para o meio-campo

Matheus Nascimento: é promissor e mostra, jogo após jogo, que possui recurso técnico afinado para um jogador de 18 anos. Porém, peca no principal quesito para um atacante: a frieza para marcar gols na cara do goleiro. Ele desperdiçou duas chances claras de balançar as redes nesse Brasileirão – dado do “SofaScore”.

BOA IMPRESSÃO
Fernando Marçal, reforço contratado para a segunda janela e que estreou apenas contra o Santos, há dois jogos, e Jeffinho, estrela na vitória sobre o Athletico Paranaense, foram dois nomes que deixam um gostinho de que podem entrar na lista de destaques.

+Eduardo Paes tenta fazer John Textor esquecer ideia de construir novo estádio para o Botafogo

A amostragem da dupla, contudo, ainda é pequena. Carlos Eduardo, titular pela primeira vez no triunfo sobre o Furacão, também foi destaque e, justamente por ter sido um dos pedidos da comissão técnica, também possui potencial de ser um desses nomes.

Dos jogadores que já estavam no clube desde o começo do Brasileirão, Victor Sá foi um atleta que contribuiu com o jogo de Luís Castro com frequência, mas desfalcou a equipe por mais de um mês por uma lesão nas costas. O jogador pode retornar contra o Corinthians, na abertura do segundo turno.
