والتر هودج يوضح السبب الرئيسي وراء انتقاله لـ الأهلي ويؤكد: أرحب بتمثيل منتخب مصر

أكد البورتوريكي والتر هودج لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة السلة بالنادي الأهلي أنه استشار الإسباني أوجستي بوش المدير الفني الحالي للفريق، قبل الانضمام رسميًا للقلعة الحمراء.

وقال والتر هودج أثناء استضافته ببرنامج مذاع على قناة “الأهلي”: “تحدثت قبل انضمامي للأهلي مع أوجستي المدير الفني، هو كان يدربني في العام الأسبق وكنت أنتظر ما سيفعله، وقال لي إن الأمر أسهل حينما عدت لبورتوريكو واتخذت قراري بالقدوم”.

وكان “بطولات” قد كشف في وقت سابق أن أوجستي بوش هو من سيكون له كلمة الحسم في ملف عودة والتر هودج للدوري المصري، بسبب العلاقة القوية التي تربط الثنائي.

وأضاف: “قبل قدومي للأهلي بالنسبة لي كلاعب محترف فإن كل ما أفعله هو تقديم كل ما لدي لفريقي السابق عندما كنت لاعبًا في الزمالك، ولكني كنت أعلم عن الأهلي أن جماهيره تحب ناديها جدًا وأنه نادي احترافي كبير ويلعب على أعلى المستويات وينافس على كل البطولات وهذا الأهم لي وبالنسبة لعائلتي أن يظلوا في أمان وهذا ما يسعدني الآن، ولكن كان علي أن أقوم بواجبي مع الفريق الذي ألعب له”.

وتابع: “أنا مستقر هنا 100% وعائلتي معي، وزوجتي كانت متحمسة جدًا للمجيء إلى مصر وهي ذهبت معي للكويت وتعرف الحياة في الدول العربية وهي ارتاحت كثيرة لمكان معيشتنا في مصر وهي سعيدة جدًا”.

وأردف: “أنا تابعت الدوري وخصوصا مع المدير الفني الحالي في البطولة العربية وهو كان له الدور الأكبر في أن آتي للفريق، وكان يجب عليّ أن أظل متابعًا لكي أقرر ماذا سأفعل وإلى أين سأذهب، ولقد أدى الفريق جيدًا في الموسم الماضي”.

وأوضح رأيه في فريق الأهلي لكرة السلة قائلًا: “أنا أحب الطريقة التي يتعامل بها اللاعبون في الملعب ويبذلون قصارى جهدهم في الملعب ويتمرنون بقوة وإذا استمر في الحفاظ على معدل تدريب عالي كما يحدث الآن سيكون بطلا وأنا سعيد بتواجدي الآن وأتطلع للمزيد مع الفريق”.

وتابع: “المنافسة ستكون صعبة والجميع سيكون واجبًا عليه تقديم أفضل ما لديه والجميع يريد الفوز بالدوري لذا ستكون المنافسة قوية جدًا وصعبة للغاية ولكن إذا لعبنا باحترافية فنحن لدينا الإمكانيات التي تساعدنا للفوز بكل شئ”.

وواصل: “أعتقد أن أقوى المنافسين لنا سيكون الاتحاد لأنه فريق كبير، وحينما نلعب أمام الزمالك ستكون المباراة تنافسية كبيرة” وسبورتنج أيضًا فريق كبير ولديهم لاعبين من أمريكا”.

واستأنف: “المدرب علاقتي معه جيدة وهو يدعمني ويتواصل معي دائمًا، وهو يعتمد عليّ كثيرًا ولعبت معه فرنسا لذلك الأمر ممتع بالنسبة لي”.

وأردف: “سعيد جدًا بجمهور الأهلي وحدثت قفزة كبيرة في حساباتي على السوشيال ميديا بسبب متابعة الجماهير خلال ساعتين فقط، والأمر كان جنونيًا”.

وأضاف: “لا ألعب البلايستيشن، أنا لاعب محترف ووقتي للتدريبات واللعب وعائلتي والمنزل”.

وأوضح: “أود مشاهدة فريق كرة القدم في الملعب وسأذهب لدعم الفريق ومتابعته لأني أحب كرة القدم بطبيعة الحال”.

وتطرق للحديث عن منتخب مصر: “أعتقد أنهم فريقا رائعًا ولعبوا بأداء جيد في البطولة الإفريقية، لكنهم لم يفوزوا ولكن كان الأمر رائعًا بالنسبة لهم”.

وأكمل: كان لدي الفرصة للعب في الـNBA في عام 2013، ووقعت عقد لمدة عامين، لكن في هذا الوقت كان لدي عرض أفضل من إسبانيا وفضلت الذهاب إلى هناك، وبالطبع الدوري الأمريكي ما زال حلمي إلى الآن، ولكني حققته في إسبانيا”.

ووجه رسالة لجماهير الأهلي قائلًا: “أولًا أود أن أشكرهم على دعمهم للأهلي في كل الألعاب، وأنا أتطلع للفوز معهم بجميع البطولات”.

وعندما سئل عن موقفه من الحصول على الجنسية المصرية واللعب لمنتخب مصر أجاب بقوله: “بالطبع سأوافق، وأنا لعبت مع جزر فيرجينيا، وبالطبع سأرحب بذلك إذا عرض عليّ هذا الأمر في مصر”.

Somerset bag Cameron White for Twenty20

Cameron White, the Australian allrounder, will rejoin his old county Somerset for the 2010 Twenty20 Cup

Cricinfo staff08-Jan-2010Cameron White, the Australian allrounder, will rejoin his old county Somerset for the 2010 Twenty20 Cup.White was last at Taunton in 2006 and was Somerset’s leading run-scorer in the Championship, scoring 1190 runs at 59.50 in Division Two. Remarkably his strike-rate was 81.45 through the season and it is his big-hitting ability that Somerset will want for the Twenty20 Cup.White, 26, has now become a regular member of Australia’s one-day team, which means he will be not be available for the entire season as Australia are playing five ODIs against England in June and July.Nevertheless, Somerset are thrilled to welcome back a player who once hit 141 not out in a Twenty20 Cup match against Worcestershire. “With his status as one of the world’s best one-day players, it’s an exciting prospect,” said Brian Rose, Somerset’s director of cricket.”He may only be able to make some limited appearances because of his commitments to Australia. We think he can play in the first six or seven games and certainly from the quarter-finals to the finals if we get that far.”I think the Somerset cricketing public remember Cameron playing some fantastic innings in one-day cricket, but he also played some of the best first-class knocks I’ve ever seen.”

محمد صلاح يحقق رقمًا شخصيًا مميزًا في مباراة ليفربول وبرايتون

على الرغم من أنه لم يقدم أداءً مثاليًا في مباراة اليوم، إلا أن النجم المصري محمد صلاح استطاع تحقيق رقم مميز آخر في مسيرته خلال لقاء ليفربول وبرايتون.

وتمكن محمد صلاح من صناعة الهدف الأول لصالح ليفربول، والذي سجله زميله البرازيلي روبرتو فيرمينو.

Celtic: Ewan Henderson told he can leave

Celtic have told Ewan Henderson that he can leave during the January transfer window, according to The Scottish Sun.

The Lowdown: Hibs links

The midfielder is into the final six months of his current Parkhead deal and has recently been linked with a move to Hibernian, whose new manager Shaun Maloney (once a Hoops player) is thought to be keen on bringing the 21-year-old to Easter Road on a long-term deal.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-20/” title=”Celtic updates!!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Exits appear to be inevitable at Celtic Park over the coming weeks, which could then fund further winter additions.

John Hartson said it was ‘very special’ after Henderson scored his first goal for Celtic last month, and it seems as if that strike against Real Betis could be his first and last as a Hoops player.

The Latest: Monday update

The Scottish Sun seemed to share an update regarding Henderson’s Celtic future on Monday morning.

Within their live transfer blog, they said that Ange Postecoglou is considering offloading fringe players such as Henderson, Liam Shaw and Osaze Urhoghide. They added that Henderson has ‘been told he can leave’, with his deal expiring at the end of June.

The Verdict: The right call?

If Postecoglou isn’t convinced about Henderson, then looking to move him on this month is the right call. January will be the last time that the Hoops can receive any money for the midfielder, who will become a free agent in the summer should his situation remain the same.

He has featured just once all season, taking his total appearance tally for Celtic to 11, so it may be best for all parties involved if he leaves permanently and plays regular first-team football, with Celtic then putting any money they receive for the 21-year-old towards further signings who may have a brighter future at the club.

'4ª FORÇA': Kazim faz tatuagem do título brasileiro pelo Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

O jogador corintiano Colin Kazim usou seu Instagram na tarde desta quinta-feira para compartilhar uma homenagem feita ao título brasileiro do Corinthians de 2017 – uma tatuagem com a taça e os dizeres “4ª FORÇA” e “Campeão 2017”. Além da referência ao título, a tatuagem também relembra que o Timão foi considerado a 4ª força do futebol paulista, no início do ano.

Logo no início da temporada, o Corinthians se superou e conquistou o Campeonato Paulista, mas aproveitou o termo para fazer piada. A hashtag #4ªForça começou a ser usada pelo clube e seus jogadores em forma de provocação e zoação após desacreditarem da equipe que foi campeã brasileira com três rodadas de antecedência.

No Corinthians desde o início de 2017, Kazim atuou em 29 jogos e marcou três gols. No Brasileirão, foram 13 jogos e um gol. O Corinthians enfrenta o Atlético-MG no próximo sábado, em casa, pela 37ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Another new playground for the Deccan Chargers•Associated Press

The storm over the Deccan Chargers games being relocated out of Andhra Pradesh appears to have blown over with the IPL scheduling two matches in Cuttack, which falls in the franchise’s “catchment area”.An IPL release said the decision was taken following a series of discussions “and at the request of the Deccan Chargers franchise to host matches in their catchment area to help build a strong fan base”.Lalit Modi, the IPL comissioner, confirmed the move on his Twitter page as well as through an official statement. “The solution was worked out keeping in mind the sentiments of the cricket loving fans of the franchise,” Modi said in the IPL release. “The revised schedule now includes the Barabati Stadium at Cuttack as a host venue and I hope that Deccan Chargers fans will come out in large numbers to support their team.”Commenting on the development, Venkat Reddy, the director of operations, Deccan Chargers told Cricinfo, “The decision was taken by the BCCI. Sharad Pawar was busy discussing the issue with the state government. Due to the prevailing political conditions in Andhra Pradesh, and the with there being not much time left for the scheduling to change it was felt to move the matches out of Andhra to the catchment areas which have been eagerly preparing to host some games for a long time. Next year the Deccan Chargers will be back playing the game at home.””The decision to move two matches from Navi Mumbai to Cuttack, which is our territory, is acceptable to us,” V Shankar, the Deccan Chargers chairman told . “In fact, the proposal to have matches in our catchment area came from us.”That Hyderabad would not be hosting any IPL matches in the third season followed a decision of the league to shift all matches scheduled to be held in the state. However, the decision – a response to a separatist movement in Andhra Pradesh that has seen sporadic violence – has sparked outrage in the state and in Hyderabad, the capital, with the regional government demanding a rethink. The franchise had also sent IPL a legal notice and threatened a boycott of the 2010 tournament.Deccan are the defending champions, having beaten Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final in South Africa last year. The result was a total turnaround from their last-placed finish in the inaugural edition in 2008.The revised schedule for the Deccan Chargers reads:March 2: Deccan Chargers v Kolkata Knight Riders – DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai
March 19: Deccan Chargers v Kings XI Punjab – Barabati Stadium, Cuttack
March 21: Deccan Chargers v Delhi Daredevils – Barabati Stadium, Cuttack
March 28: Deccan Chargers v Mumbai Indians – DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai
April 5: Deccan Chargers v Rajasthan Royals – Nagpur
April 10: Deccan Chargers vs Chennai Super Kings – Nagpur
April 12: Deccan Chargers v Royal Challengers Bangalore – Nagpur

Rangers: Sands agrees to Ibrox transfer

A key Rangers transfer claim has been made, regarding Gio van Bronckhorst’s efforts to land his first Ibrox signing…

What’s the talk?

According to the Glasgow Times, New York City FC midfielder James Sands has agreed terms with the Gers and is now set to join on an initial 18-month loan.

The report claims that Rangers will be able to make the switch permanent at the end of the 2022/23 campaign, although the potential fee has not been revealed.

Delight

Rangers fans will surely be delighted with this update as it appears to suggest that the club are inching closer towards their first signing of the window. It shows that the player, most importantly, is on-board with the move and is ready to complete his switch to Scotland in the coming days.

This means that the Gers will not be facing any issues in regards to convincing Sands to join them, showing the supporters that he is eager to make it happen. Supporters know that he is keen on the transfer and is not just coming to Ibrox for a payday, which they may appreciate.

They will also be buzzing as he could be an excellent signing for the squad. He is a versatile player who van Bronckhort could look to use in a multitude of roles, as he is capable of playing right-back, centre-back, holding midfield and as a central midfielder. This means that he can plug gaps when needed and be a useful option for the boss to call upon.

In the MLS this season, he has averaged a SofaScore rating of 6.91 whilst playing at right-back and in holding midfield for New York City FC. His most recent performance was an impressive showing against Portland Timbers, as he recorded a score of 7.7 in midfield.

As per SofaScore, he won 90% of his ground duels (9/10) and completed six tackles, two interceptions and six clearances, whilst also creating one chance and taking 116 touches of the ball.

Although this was in an MLS match and it is difficult to gauge the difference in quality between that division and the Premiership, these statistics provide an insight into the type of player Rangers are set to land.

He appears to be a tough-tackling midfielder who works hard for the team on the defensive side of the game whilst also wanting to get on the ball to make things happen.

Eurico exalta vaga na Libertadores: 'Vasco superou todas as dificuldades'

MatériaMais Notícias

O Vasco conseguiu a sonhada vaga na Libertadores de 2018 ao vencer a Ponte Preta por 2 a 1, em São Januário, no último domingo, pela 38ª rodada do Brasileirão. Após o jogo, o presidente Eurico Miranda gravou um pronunciamento exaltando o fato de o Cruz-Maltino ter conseguido alcançar o objetivo traçado por ele mesmo em meio a muitas dificuldades.

– Para o Vasco, o time ir para a Libertadores não é novidade, mas sem dúvida é um feito em função de tudo o que aconteceu. Eu quero, com muita tranquilidade, dizer que quando tudo começou, pela forma que encontramos o Vasco, foi extremamente temerário dizer aquilo que eu disse que o objetivo do era a Libertadores. Nós tivemos todas as dificuldades possíveis, daí colocamos o slogan ‘contra tudo e contra todos’.Isso porque foi um feito histórico – disse o mandatário vascaíno, comentando algumas das dificuldades superadas pelo time.

– O Vasco conseguiu superar todas as dificuldades que a ele foram colocadas. O clube não tinha condições de fazer um investimento para atingir o objetivo traçado, mas o trabalho que foi desenvolvido e tem um mérito grande esse grupo do Vasco, os treinadores que passaram e por último o Zé Ricardo, que entendeu isso. Para vocês terem uma noção, os obstáculos foram internos e externos. Vale lembrar que o Vasco perdeu seis mandos de campo fruto de um acontecimento dentro de São Januário, que não foi da torcida do Vasco, foi provocado por aqueles que queriam e tentam de qualquer maneira tomar o poder. Nós já sabíamos que a mídia não seria favorável, não poderia ser – completou.

Eurico fez questão de agradecer os jogadores, comissão técnica e o departamento de futebol. Segundo ele, todos se superaram e conseguiram buscar a meta traçado no início do campeonato. Por isso, o presidente disse que estava satisfeito.

– Eu quero ressaltar meu agradecimento não só aqueles que tiveram juntos conosco nessa caminhada, mas principalmente aos jogadores e comissão técnica, ao departamento de futebol de uma forma geral. Eles encarnaram esse espírito de buscar esse resultado e foi conseguido. Em termos pessoais, quero dizer a todos que estou plenamente satisfeito, porque era como uma missão e ela foi cumprida, contra tudo que fizeram – comentou Eurico, que completou.

– O que fizeram aqui foram coisas inacreditáveis. Desde a história do ‘Fora Eurico’ em uma partida de futebol, claro que isso tudo induzido e financiado. Foi contra tudo e contra todos que o Vasco conseguiu o seu objetivo. Eu não dou parabéns para mim, dou ao Vasco por superar isso tudo.

O presidente cruz-maltino já pensa na próxima temporada. Ele vai começar a colocar em prática o planejamento e espera disputar a Libertadores em igualdade de condições com os rivais.

– Espero que a gente possa já começar a se planejar, se preparar para realmente poder disputar a Libertadores do próximo ano em igualdade de posição com os adversários.
