West Ham United: Irons keen on move for Thiago Mendes

West Ham United are said to be eyeing a potential move for Lyon midfielder Thiago Mendes in the upcoming transfer window.

The Lowdown: Mendes profiled

The 30-year-old first joined the French giants from Lille back in 2019 and has since gone on to make 107 appearances in all competitions for Peter Bosz’s side, providing 11 goal contributions during that time, as per Transfermarkt.

He is a crafty and versatile defensive midfielder, capable of playing the box to box or defensive role and even filling into the heart of defence at times, per Whoscored.

Now, a new update has emerged regarding the 5 foot 8 maestro making a possible transfer to the Premier League, and it’s one that fans of David Moyes’ outfit might just want to hear.

The Latest: Opponent to teammate?

According to Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola (via Sport Witness), it’s claimed that the Hammers are ‘interested in signing’ Mendes and ‘intend to make a bid’ for him, after being majorly impressed with his displays when facing Lyon in the Europa League.

The source states that the Irons would have ‘an advantage’ in the race for his signature, as a result of being able to offer him more money alongside granting him the opportunity to play in England.

The Verdict: Potential bargain

The £49k-per-week star currently has one year remaining on his current contract at Lyon, but they obviously won’t want to lose him for free, putting the Irons in a good negotiating position.

The man who was once hailed as a “key” player by Rangers coach Michael Beale has had a huge drop in value in recent times, which started out at £22.5m three years ago, to now being rated just £9m, so GSB could grab a possible bargain.

If the hierarchy could successfully secure his arrival at the London Stadium, it could prove to be an astute piece of business for West Ham, adding depth in multiple positions at little cost.

Modi wants clarity from passport office

Lalit Modi, the former IPL chairman, has sought clarity on several points from the regional passport office in Mumbai over the notice issued by it earlier this month, including the deadline and the basis for the notice

Lalit Modi has said through his lawyer that he is not absconding•AFP

Lalit Modi, the former IPL chairman, has sought clarity on several points from the regional passport office in Mumbai over the notice issued by it earlier this month, including the deadline and the basis for the notice. He has also said through his lawyer that, though travelling abroad, he was not absconding.The notice was sent after the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which looks into foreign exchange violations, wrote to India’s external (foreign) affairs ministry on October 5 asking it to revoke Modi’s passport since he had not appeared before the ED to answer allegations of financial irregularities.Modi’s counsel Mehmood Abdi said that, before filing his reply, Modi needed to know the ED’s reference to the RPO, following which the notice was issued, and the documents on which the RPO based its notice.Modi has 15 days to reply to the notice and, though it was issued on October 15, Abdi said this period should start from the date of receipt of the notice, which was October 20. “According to us, the deadline expires on November 4. We sent the RPO a letter on October 26 seeking clarification but there has been no reply.” Abdi said he had also sent a reminder to RPO today but has not received a response.Modi has been living abroad for the past few months and said he fears for his life. “There is a threat to his life and he will not return till the situation changes,” Abdi said. He denied that Modi was absconding and said he was communicating with the ED and other authorities from London.Two days ago Abdi had said that his client was ready for interrogation by the ED in London and would bear the expenses of ED personnel travelling there to question him.The ED is examining whether Modi violated the Foreign Exchange Management Act during his time as IPL commissioner. Earlier this month, the directorate issued a blue corner alert for Modi, which makes it mandatory for law-enforcement agencies around the world to detain him wherever they spot him and inform the ED accordingly.

Spurs re-enter Rudiger race amid new twist

Tottenham Hotspur have reignited their interest in Antonio Rudiger after a fresh plea from manager Antonio Conte, according to club sources.

What’s the word?

As revealed by Football Insider this week, the north London outfit are back in the race to sign the out-of-contract Chelsea centre-back this summer in a fresh twist behind-the-scenes – just a few months after being ruled out of the running.

The 29-year-old German has been long admired by Spurs and the Italian head coach, who he once managed at Stamford Bridge, having been a top target last summer and during the recent winter window.

It now appears as if the Lilywhites will make another push to seal his signature ahead of some of Europe’s elite, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich, after the 52-year-old made it clear that he wants to be reignited with his ex-star to supremo Daniel Levy.

Conte is believed to be ‘pushing hard’ to sign the free agent and it will now be a test of the chairman’s ambition heading into a big summer of business.

Rudiger coup

Whilst Spurs are far away from being the front-runners to seal the Germany international, if they manage to secure him next season, it would surely be something of a major coup for the club.

They would not only be prising him away from their arch-rivals – the Blues – but he would also fill a big need of Conte’s as he searches for a central defensive addition this summer.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-spurs-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-levy-conte-paratici-thfc” title= “Read the latest Spurs news!”]

If Spurs want to keep Conte on board for the long term, then there won’t be a bigger statement of intent than signing Rudiger, who played 45 times under the Italian at Chelsea.

They clearly had a positive relationship with the defender lauding his coach as “very good” during their stint together.

Despite his contractual situation, Rudiger has remained an imperative member of Thomas Tuchel’s side, having featured in 47 games across all competitions, on the back of their Champions League triumph last term.

Across 28 league starts, the £31.5m-rated titan has won an average of 1.8 headers and 1.3 tackles per game, whilst being equally adept on the ball, managing a seasonal passing accuracy of 87.8%, so it’s no wonder Conte retains an interest as his ball-playing and physical ability would be an ideal fit in N17.

Such form for the Blues has led to some high praise indeed.

Premier League great Rio Ferdinand, now a pundit for BT Sport, lauded the 6 foot 3 colossus as an “animal,” with his current boss describing his performance against Real Madrid earlier this month as “world-class” and “outstanding.”

Given his current value, form, ability and suitability to Conte, as evident above, Rudiger would indeed be a major coup for the north Londoners this off-season. Fabio Paratici and his recruitment team must now deliver for Levy as the supremo will want to keep the Italian as happy as possible.

AND in other news, Paratici can land his next Bentancur as Spurs eye £21m talent whose “tempo is perfect”…

Relembre duelos marcantes entre Fluminense e Bangu pelo Carioca

MatériaMais Notícias

Nos primórdios do futebol carioca, uma grande rivalidade pairava sobre Fluminense e Bangu: enquanto o time de Laranjeiras era visto com olhos diferentes por contar com nobres jovens na formação do grupo, o Bangu refletia o outro lado operário da cidade. Algumas vezes, o clima esquentava nas redondezas do primeiro campo do Bangu, na Rua Ferrer, e jogadores e torcedores do Tricolor precisavam fugir correndo de pedradas.

A origem inglesa era um dos pontos em comum entre as equipes e o que ajudou a estabelecer a harmonia nas disputas. Pela semelhança, os tricolores começaram a levar flores quando jogavam no campo do rival, que passou a respeitar mais o Fluminense. Na tarde desta quarta-feira, as equipes estreiam pela Taça Rio em um jogo sem interesse e sob forte calor no Estádio Moça Bonita.

Às vésperas da partida, o LANCE! relembra os momentos mais marcantes e polêmicos desses embates que acontecem há mais de 100 anos, resgatando acontecimentos históricos na visão dos próprios atletas que fizeram parte dos clubes.

1933 – PRIMEIRA TAÇA DO CAMPEONATO CARIOCA

No dia 12 de novembro de 1933, Fluminense e Bangu se enfrentavam pela final do Campeonato Carioca no campo das Laranjeiras. Após vencer por 4 a 0, mesmo estando desfalcado e disputando a final da casa do adversário, o Bangu conquistou seu primeiro título da competição. Os gols da partida foram marcados por Plácido e Tião (3).

1946 – GOLEADA HISTÓRICA

Ainda no primeiro turno do Campeonato Carioca de 1946, o Fluminense aplicou uma goleada sobre o Bangu com o placar de 11 a 1. Na época, o time base do Tricolor era formado por Robertinho, Guálter e Haroldo; Pé-de Valsa, Pascoal e Bigode; Pedro Amorim, Simões, Ademir de Menezes, Orlando Pingo de Ouro e Rodrigues, uma equipe que preservava o jogo ofensivo e marcou 97 gols em 24 jogos.

1964 – BANGU E FLUMINENSE CHEGAM À FINAL COM O MESMO NÚMERO DE PONTOS

Na edição do Campeonato Carioca de 1964, Fluminense e Bangu chegaram à final do torneio empatados em pontos, o que levou à necessidade da realização de dois jogos extras para a decisão do título. Ao final das duas partidas de desempate, o Tricolor sagrou-se campeão ao vencer o primeiro jogo por 1 a 0 e o segundo por 3 a 1.

1985 – MARCA DRAMÁTICA NA HISTÓRIA DO BANGU

Com 90.000 torcedores ocupando as arquibancadas do Maracanã, o Fluminense vencia a final do Campeonato Carioca por 2 a 1 quando o zagueiro tricolor Vica, deu um verdadeiro golpe de judô no atacante Cláudio Adão, dentro da área. A falta aconteceu no último minuto do jogo e, apesar de ser uma penalidade clara, o árbitro José Roberto Wright não marcou o pênalti, que poderia ter mudado totalmente a história do futebol carioca, já que o Bangu jogava pelo empate. Após a partida, os banguenses ficaram devastados com o erro grotesco que gerou um dos momentos mais dramáticos da história do clube.

2002 – BANGU DEIXA OS GRAMADOS ANTES DO APITO PELA SEMIFINAL DO CAMPEONATO CARIOCA

No dia 16 de junho de 2002, Fluminense e Bangu se enfrentaram no Maracanã pela semifinal do Campeonato Carioca e a partida deu o que falar. Com o placar em 0 a 0, Eduardo foi para a área tricolor e subiu para marcar de cabeça aos 14 minutos do segundo tempo. Entretanto, o árbitro anulou o gol, alegando que houve toque de mão, e o expulsou, gerando uma grande confusão que terminou com a expulsão de Hélder e Cléberson. Inconformado com a arbitragem, todo o time do Bangu deixou o campo antes do reinício da partida a pedido do presidente Rubem Lopes e o Fluminense foi à final contra o Americano. Mais tarde, o time de Laranjeiras conquistaria seu 29º título.

خالد جلال: الخسارة أمام بيراميدز غير مستحقة.. والأخطاء التحكيمية قتلتنا في 5 مباريات

قال خالد جلال المدير الفني لفريق الكرة الأول بنادي البنك الأهلي، إن فوز بيراميدز خلال مباراتهما، غير مُستحق.

وكان البنك الأهلي قد نال خسارته على يد نظيره بيراميدز بهدف دون رد في مباراة دور الثمانية ببطولة كأس مصر.

وأضاف جلال: “لا أعلم لماذا تم تأجيل المباراة من لجنة المسابقات رغم اعترضنا نحن وبيراميدز على الموعد، لأننا في راحة منذ وقت طويل، ما المنطق أن نلعب مباراتين متتاليتين؟، لماذا لا يتم ترحيل المباراة القادمة؟، ما يحدث في مصر لم أره في العالم”.

وأردف: “مباراة اليوم كانت سجالاً، وتأثرنا بحكم اللقاء الذي لم يحتسب ركلة جزاء صحيحة مليون بالمائة، هل لأنه طرد لاعب من بيراميدز ففضل ألا يحسب ركلة جزاء لنا؟”.

وواصل: “هذه خامس مباراة تضيع علينا وتقتلنا الأخطاء التحكيمية، كلنا داعمين للتحكيم لكن ليس بهذا الشكل، أداء البنك الأهلي اليوم كان محترمًا وأضعنا فرصًا كثيرة، ولكن بيراميدز استغل الفرص التي سنحت له”.

واستطرد: “البنك الأهلي يقدم كرة قدم جيدة بشهادة الجميع، ولكننا خسرنا وخرجنا من الكأس، ولا أعلم لماذا يتم وضع مباراة البنك الأهلي وبيراميدز في نفس موعد مواجهة الأهلي والمقاولون، مع لقاء في كأس العالم (الوضع كان شاهد مشافش حاجة)”.

واستأنف: “لم يشاهد أحد مباراة البنك الأهلي، لأن الجميع سيشاهد سيشاهد الأهلي أو كأس العالم، لكن مباراتنا لم يُشاهدها أحد إذًا لو هناك ركلة جزاء لنا لن يراها أحد، دعوني أظل صامتًا، حتى لا أخطئ”.

وأتم: “يوجد عدم تكافؤ في الفرص ونتعرض لظلم كبير، لا يوجد مبرر لمواعيد المباريات أو الظلم التحكيمي”.

Title-chasing Somerset edge opening day

Charl Willoughby claimed 4 for 60 as Somerset bowled out Lancashire for 259 on the opening day of their County Championship clash at Taunton

07-Sep-2010
ScorecardCharl Willoughby claimed 4 for 60 as Somerset bowled out Lancashire for 259 on the opening day of their County Championship clash at Taunton. The figures took the South African’s first-class wicket tally for the season to 50, a landmark he has achieved in all of his five seasons with Somerset, and raised hopes of a victory that could keep alive their title hopes.Only Shivnarine Chanderpaul (56) offered much resistance before the last two Lancashire wickets added 90, Gary Keedy making 34 and Sajid Mahmood 29. By the close Somerset had replied with 54 for 1, Marcus Trescothick falling to Keedy for 33.Willoughby produced a fine nine-over opening spell from the Old Pavilion End, sending back openers Tom Smith and Paul Horton with only 32 runs on the board. It was 77 for 3 when Mark Chilton was lbw moving across his stumps to Alfonso Thomas and 126 for 4 when Steven Croft was run out by Peter Trego as he was sent back by Chanderpaul attempting a single to square leg.Chanderpaul moved to his half-century in typically stubborn manner off 72 balls, with seven fours. But he then departed in totally uncharacteristic fashion, top-edging a reverse sweep off Murali Kartik to Trescothick at slip.From 153 for 4, Lancashire slumped to 169 for 8 as Willoughby removed Gareth Cross and Kyle Hogg either side of Kartik pinning Luke Procter lbw. News of Nottinghamshire’s struggles at Trent Bridge had reached Somerset, rekindling their hopes of a first ever Championship title. But they were then frustrated as Mahmood and Keedy added 34 for the ninth wicket.Mahmood became the second batsman to fall to the reverse sweep after hitting six fours, but Keedy went on to share another stand of 56 with last man Simon Kerrigan, who battled away for 80 balls to make an unbeaten 16. Keedy was bowled by Ben Phillips when the new ball was taken, having faced 87 deliveries and hit five fours.The left-arm spinner then did his side another big favour by having Trescothick caught at short midwicket by Smith just as he was looking to cut loose. Arul Suppiah and night watchman Thomas saw Somerset through to the close, but on a green looking pitch their team will need to bat well tomorrow to gain a meaningful first innings advantage.

Sangakkara lauds disciplined New Zealand

Kumar Sangakkara believes New Zealand are tough opponents because of their discipline, which he said was an attribute other teams should pick up from Ross Taylor’s side

Kumar Sangakkara believes New Zealand are tough opponents because of their discipline, which he said was an attribute other teams should pick up from Ross Taylor’s side. New Zealand lack the big names of the other two teams in the tournament but started off with a crushing victory over India, serving notice to anyone under-estimating them.”The great thing about New Zealand is they are very competitive,” Sangakkara said before the start of his team’s practice session under lights. “They play very orthodox, very structured cricket. Strategies are set and they always try to execute those strategies. That’s the discipline that I think we can all learn from New Zealand.”It’s very important in Twenty20 and one-day cricket now that you have applied executable strategies out in the middle that everyone understands and everyone can execute according to their own abilities. New Zealand does that probably the best in the world, so that makes them a very tough side.”The discipline and strategy are particularly important when batting second in the challenging conditions in Dambulla, where the team batting first has had a distinct advantage in recent matches. “It’s not mostly skill, it’s about being mentally attuned to what’s happening there and being ready with not just one but two or three plans,” he said.The tournament is seen as a part of the team’s fine-tuning ahead of the World Cup but the pitches in Dambulla aren’t the traditional subcontinental flat tracks. “Playing in conditions like this is very good for us because when it is a challenge, you got to relish it,” Sangakkara said. “The harder the things you have to do out in the middle, the improvement becomes faster. For us, that is how we are going to look at this tournament.”One aspect of Sri Lanka’s cricket which will be closely watched is the spin bowling. With no Muttiah Muralitharan around, it’s a chance for any of Suraj Randiv, Ajantha Mendis and Rangana Herath to establish themselves in the side. “It depends on the opposition we are playing,” Sangakkara said when asked about the first-choice spinner. “Depending on that, we will pick one or the other [Randiv or Mendis]. We got Rangana Herath in the wings as well. So each time we will make sure that we play the right combination for the opposition unless there is a huge difference in form between the bowlers.”New Zealand had gone in without a spinner in the first match, but that could change in case Jacob Oram fails to recover from his hamstring problem. “We have a little bit of a niggle with Jacob Oram, just a tight hamstring, hopefully he can recover well tonight, we’ll see how he goes tomorrow,” the captain Ross Taylor said. “He’s an outstanding bowler for us, top-10 in the one-day rankings, if we were to lose him, it will be a huge loss but it will be an opportunity for whoever comes in.”A win on Friday will virtually put New Zealand in the final, but Taylor was not looking that far ahead. “I don’t want to get carried away, it was one victory and the team played well. Sri Lanka are a difficult opponent in their home conditions and we have to come out with the same attitude and the same intent in the next game, we know if we do that we give ourselves a good chance.”

Em fase de goleador, Vinícius Júnior quer mais quando for solicitado

MatériaMais Notícias

A fase de Vinícius Júnior é impressionante com a camisa do Flamengo. Além de ser uma ótima opção em todos os jogos que entra, o camisa 20 ainda tem aproveitado bem as chances para marcar gols. Não à toa, é o artilheiro da equipe na temporada, com quatro gols feitos e um anulado de forma errada (no confronto diante do Bangu, na Ilha).

Nesta quarta-feira, diante do Madureira, mais uma vez o garoto entrou e fez um gol. Foram três nos últimos três jogos, todos vindo do banco de reservas.

Apenas contra a Cabofriense o xodó rubro-negro começou como titular e deixou sua marca. Independente disso, ele quer continuar na mesma batida.

-Claro que pode (continuar a rotina de entrar no segundo tempo e fazer o gol). Estou feliz com mais um gol por entrar e ajudar o Flamengo. O time começou muito bem e entrei para ajudar com mais um gol – afirmou a joia, que já está negociado com o Real Madrid desde a última temporada.

No mês de junho, Vinícius completará 18 anos e viajará para a Europa para assinar o vínculo com o clube espanhol, que deve ser de cinco temporadas.

Então, será definido se o atacante já fica com o elenco merengue ou se fica no clube da Gávea até o fim de 2018. Em recentes entrevistas, o jovem manifestou o desejo de seguir vestindo a camisa do Rubro-Negro por mais tempo.
