وانتهى الشوط الأول بتقدم إشبيلية بهدفين لهدف واحد، وبعد سلسلة من إضاعة الفرص خاصة من طرف برشلونة، فقد قضى الفريق الأندلسي على آمال البلوجرانا بالهدف الثالث.
وسجل خوسيه أنجيل كارمونا الهدف الثالث بعد تسديدة رائعة من داخل منطقة الجزاء في الدقيقة 90 لم ينجح تشيزني في التصدي لها.
وفي الدقيقة 96 أحرز إشبيلية الهدف الرابع بعد تمريرات رائعة متتالية لتصل أمام أدامز ليسجل الهدف الرابع.
وبهذه النتيجة، يكون برشلونة قد تعرض للهزيمة الثانية على التوالي ولكن في الدوري الإسباني بعد خسارته أمام باريس سان جيرمان في دوري أبطال أوروبا بهدفين لهدف واحد.
Depois do diretor de futebol Carlos Belmonte, foi a vez do técnico Dorival Júnior usar sua entrevista para subir o tom contra a arbitragem do carioca Bruno Arleu de Araújo no empate em 1 a 1 com o Corinthians, neste domingo (14), em Itaquera, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. O resultado manteve o tabu do São Paulo nunca ter vencido o rival em seu estádio, inaugurado em 2014.
– Pra mim foi lamentável. Lamentável o que aconteceu aqui hoje. Eu eu fico muito chateado porque a equipe do São Paulo fez por merecer (a vitória) – lamentou Dorival.

+ ATUAÇÕES: Rafinha faz pênalti infeliz e compromete ótimo trabalho defensivo do São Paulo em Itaquera
Entre os lances reclamados pelos são-paulinos em Itaquera está a marcação do pênalti de Rafinha, que selou o empate dos mandantes, uma suposta não marcação de pênalti no segundo tempo, quando o zagueiro corintiano Raul teria tocado com a mão na bola, e o gol anulado de Juan, também na etapa final. Dorival comentou a situação.
– Quando os próprios jogadores da equipe adversária dizem que não foi pênalti, isso resume. A bola do Calleri foi lamentável. O São Paulo foi muito bem. O resumo é que o São Paulo tentou jogar, tentou fazer, foi bem, com postura e eu saio daqui muito chateado, porque vimos a mesma coisa contra o Fortaleza, com um jogo ao nosso caráter, aí vem uma expulsão absurda. Aí você vê os árbitros na próxima rodada. Não é condenar ninguém. Mas pontos importantes estão sendo tirados do nosso time em algo fora do nosso alcance.
– Natural o erro, somos seres humanos. Qual a lógica? Existe um padrão de arbitragem ou não tem? Lances de amarelo dentro da partida existiram. Deixa terminar o lance e depois vê. Pra que tem o VAR? Ou hoje ele não estava trabalhando? Num lance do Cássio com outro jogador a bola bateu no braço e ia voltar para nós. Por que não esperou? Tem dois pesos e duas medidas? Eu espero que não. Pelo que o São Paulo jogou merecia o resultado, com todo respeito que tenho ao Corinthians e ao Luxemburgo. Por tudo que foi executado. Entramos no vestiário e usamos 80% do tempo para abaixar os sinais que as equipes vinham dando do que mudar algo taticamente. Porque estavam exaltados, que não foi só o lance final do pênalti. É passado e isso não é preocupação nossa. É uma pena porque tiraram pontos importantes nossos em duas rodadas – disse o treinador.

Fulham are now plotting an incredible raid to sign an “unbelievable” player, who is now one of their leading targets as we approach the climax of the summer transfer window.
Cottagers planning multiple new signings before deadline day
Marco Silva’s side have been extremely quiet in the transfer window up to this point, but Gary Neville has suggested they do not need any new signings to compete, off the back of an impressive showing in the 1-1 draw against Manchester United.
Neville said: “I thought Fulham were really good, really organised. I know that there’s a lot of talk at Fulham about the fact they’ve not made signings and there’s a little bit of despair. When a club doesn’t make signings everyone feels a little bit sort of downbeat about it.”
“But I looked at the Fulham team and I saw the Fulham bench, I thought: Fulham are okay, Fulham have got a good team already, they’ve got a good bench.”

Keeping hold of Rodrigo Muniz was arguably the most important piece of business the Cottagers have done this summer, but it would be a bonus if Silva was able to make a couple of additions to his squad before the rapidly approaching deadline.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Fulham are looking to make three new signings, and they are plotting an incredible raid on Premier League rivals Man United for Kobbie Mainoo, who has found it difficult to force his way into Ruben Amorim’s plans.
Fulham in talks for £43m star with 6 G/A already this season, he's open to the move
The Cottagers are in discussions to sign a new forward.
ByDominic Lund Aug 21, 2025
Mainoo could be given the go-ahead to leave this summer, having failed to play a single minute of Premier League football so far, but there is likely to be widespread interest in his services, which could be prohibitive for the west Londoners.
Not only that, but a potential £70m price tag has previously been touted, which may be why the 20-year-old is being considered as a loan signing by the Cottagers.
Fulham move could be ideal for "unbelievable" Mainoo
At 20-years-old, the Man United youngster needs to be receiving regular game time, but minutes have been hard to come by under Amorim, who clearly doesn’t favour the Englishman.
As such, a loan move to Craven Cottage could be ideal for the 10-time England international, who needs to be playing most weeks if he is to stand a chance of being called up to the World Cup squad next summer.
Declan Rice is certainly a big fan of his compatriot, with the Arsenal midfielder lauding him as “unbelievable” in the past, and the central midfielder already has plenty of first-team experience, having made 72 appearances for Man United, scoring seven goals.
Having only signed Benjamin Lecomte, Fulham have been extremely reluctant to spend money this summer, indicating loan deals may be more appealing, and Mainoo could be a fantastic signing.
Teenage opener agrees first county stint; Migael Pretorius penciled in for Somerset return

Lhuan-dre Pretorius lit up the SA20•SA20
Hampshire have signed 18-year-old South African opener Lhuan-dre Pretorius as one of their overseas players for this year’s Vitality Blast. Pretorius has yet to be capped at senior level by South Africa, but finished as the leading run-scorer at the recently completed SA20.A hard-hitting left-hander who can also keep wicket, Pretorius made his T20 debut last year after impressing for South Africa at the Under-19 World Cup, and currently averages 27.60 with a strike rate of 147.17 in the format.He caught the eye of Hampshire’s coach, Adi Birrell, when scoring 97 off 51 in his first outing for Paarl Royals, against Sunrisers Eastern Cape at this year’s SA20, with Birrell also in charge at SEC.Related

“It’s a real honour to play for Hampshire Hawks in this year’s Vitality Blast as my first experience of playing cricket in England,” Pretorius said. “The team is full of exciting names whom I look forward to playing alongside and sharing a dressing room with as we look to lift the trophy.”Hampshire, winners of the Blast in 2022, finished seventh in the South Group last season, missing out on the knockouts for the first time in four years.Giles White, Hampshire’s director of cricket, said: “Lhuan-dre impressed with his batting during the recent SA20 and played a number of eye-catching innings against some of the best bowlers in the world. He’s a special talent with a big future, and we are delighted that he is joining us for this year’s Vitality Blast.”Migael Pretorius back at SomersetMigael Pretorius made an impact with bat and ball last season•Getty Images
Somerset, meanwhile, have confirmed a return for allrounder Migael Pretorius. The 29-year-old made eight County Championship appearances last year, scoring 338 runs to go with 23 wickets. He is expected to be available for the duration of the 2025 season across all three formats.”I really enjoyed my time at Somerset in 2024 and I’m looking forward to joining up with the team again this summer,” Pretorius said. “There’s a really positive atmosphere around the club and I was impressed by the level of support that the players get at every game, both home and away. The team came so close to winning a trophy last year and hopefully I can help Somerset to get over the line in 2025.”Somerset director of cricket, Andy Hurry, added: “Following his time with us during 2024, Migael knows what it means to represent the club and understands what we are aspiring to achieve here.”He has a proven ability to impact games, and he will add further all-round quality as well as depth to our already impressive seam attack. Understanding how demanding the season is for teams competing across all three competitions, we feel that squad depth will be a vital factor for us.”

أعلن نادي برشلونة تجديد عقد فرينكي دي يونج، لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بالنادي، بعقد طويل الأمد حتى عام 2029.
ووقع الهولندي فرينكي دي يونج، لاعب خط وسط الفريق الأول لكرة القدم على عقد جديد مع برشلونة لمدة 4 سنوات أخرى، أي حتى 30 يونيو 2029.
راتب دي يونج خلال الفترة المتبقية من الموسم الحالي سيكون حسب العقد القديم، بينما سيبدأ راتبه الجديد بدءً من 1 يوليو القادم أي مع بداية موسم 2026/2027.
قيمة الشرط الجزائي في العقد الجديد لـ دي يونج سيكون 500 مليون يورو بدلًا من الحالي الذي يُقدر بـ400 مليون يورو.
وقال دي يونج، في تصريحات عقب تجديد عقده: “كما قلت دائمًا لطالما حلمت باللعب مع برشلونة والآن وبعد أن حققت هذا الحلم، أريد مواصلة السعي لتحقيقه لسنوات عديدة قادمة والفوز بمزيد من الألقاب”.
وأكمل: “لطالما رغبت في البقاء مع برشلونة، والآن بعد أن أصبحتُ هنا، أريد البقاء لأطول فترة ممكنة، أشعر براحة كبيرة في النادي وفي المدينة ومع زملائي في الفريق ومع مجلس الإدارة، أريد البقاء هنا لفترة أطول”.

وعن شعوره بأنه لا يحظى بالتقدير الكافي: “لا، بفضل زملائي في الفريق والنادي لا أشعر بأنني لا أحظى بالتقدير الكافي، هذا كلامك أنت”.
وعن الإصابات: “صحيح أن فترة التوقف الدولي وخاصة في بداية الموسم، تشهد إصابات أكثر من المعتاد لكنني أعشق اللعب مع هولندا كما أعشق اللعب مع برشلونة”.
وعن اتهامه بالعب بدرجة أقل مع منتخب هولندا: “من الصعب التعليق على الأمر، أعتقد أن لكل لاعب أسلوبه الخاص، تربطني علاقة جيدة مع كومان، ويمكنني دائمًا التحدث معه ولكن إذا نظرنا إلى الأمر من منظور مختلف سنجد أنهم سيشركوننا في مباراتين أو ثلاث فقط وهم يفكرون في إشراكنا في هاتين المباراتين أو الثلاث، الأمر معقد ولا أعتقد أننا قادرون على تغيير الكثير”.
وعن راتبه: “لن أفصح عن راتبي، لطالما تمت المبالغة في هذا الأمر وهذا يؤثر على نظرة الناس لي، إذا قرأ الناس هذا في الصحف وأن فرينكي هو الأعلى أجرًا، فهذا خطأكم أنتم، أنا سعيد بتجديد عقدي مع برشلونة”.
عن المدرب صاحب أكبر تأثير: “الأمر صعب، بدأت مسيرتي مع فالفيردي ثم كما ذكرتُ علاقتي بكومان جيدة جدًا، الجميع ساعدني، الأفضل أن أقول هانز (فليك) لأنه مدربي الآن لكن الجميع ساعدني”.
وعن الأشياء التي يريد أن يطورها: “في جميع جوانب اللعبة، أواصل العمل كالمعتاد وأرى إن كان بإمكاني التحسن أكثر”.
وأتم دي يونج: “وقعت للنادي الذي حلمت به عندما كنت طفلًا، والآن أتمنى أن أبقى هنا لمدة 10 سنوات، وأفوز بدوري أبطال أوروبا وأكبر عدد ممكن من الألقاب”.
Shami opens up about his struggles and recovery after injuries and a surgery sidelined him from international cricket for over a year
ESPNcricinfo staff20-Feb-20251:35
Who makes it to India’s pace attack against Bangladesh?
Mohammed Shami feared that his career was over when a lengthy rehabilitation kept him out of cricket throughout 2024. Now leading India’s pace attack in the Champions Trophy, Shami compared his comeback to “a toddler learning how to walk”.”I always wondered when I would be able to put my feet on the ground again, as someone who is used to running on the field constantly was now in crutches,” Shami, 34, told . “A lot of thoughts used to run through my mind. Will I be able to do it again? Will I be able to walk without a limp? For the first two months, I often doubted whether I would be able to play again as an injury like this followed by a 14-month break can pull you down.”My first question to the doctor was ‘how many days until I can be back on the field’. He said, ‘my priority is to get you to walk, then jog, and then run and thinking about playing competitive cricket is still a distant goal’.Related

“After 60 days, when they asked me to put my feet on the ground, you won’t believe me, but I have never been more scared to put my foot on the ground. It felt like I was starting over, like a toddler learning how to walk, and I was worried about any complications.”After overcoming an ankle injury, Shami underwent surgery in March 2024. He subsequently faced issues in his knee, further delaying his return. After returning to the Bengal team for the domestic season, Shami rejoined India’s white-ball squad during the home series against England, and proved his fitness for the Champions Trophy.Shami was the highest wicket-taker of the last ICC tournament he played – the 2023 ODI World Cup – despite being on the field for only seven fixtures. He now finds himself needing to play another big role with Jasprit Bumrah out with an injury.”The desire to wear the India badge on my chest kept me going,” he said. “You endure the pain and take it one step at a time without complaints or bitterness. It was tough and there was pain, but with resilience and patience I made it through. My motivation has always been to serve my country for as long as possible. Because once you step away, you’re just like anyone else.”
دافع كودي جاكبو، نجم نادي ليفربول، عن تراجع مستوى فريقه خلال الفترة الأخيرة من هذا الموسم، موضحًا أن رحيل العديد من اللاعبين أثر بالسلب على صفوف الريدز.
ليفربول رحل عن صفوفه عدد من اللاعبين الأساسيين في الفريق، وعلى رأسهم لويس دياز الذي غادر الريدز، ووقع مع الهلال مقابل أكثر من 50 مليون يورو.
كما غادر ليفربول هارفي إليوت الذي وقع مع أستون فيلا، بالإضافة إلى جاريل كوانساه الذي رحل عن النادي الإنجليزي، ليتعاقد معه باير ليفركوزن.
واعترف جاكبو كذلك، أن ليفربول لا يزال بحاجة إلى بعض الوقت، في ظل وصول العديد من اللاعبين الجدد إلى تشكيلة الريدز.

وقال جاكبو في تصريحات إلى ”Premier League Productions”: “أعتقد أن انضمام لاعبين جدد كان دائمًا أمرًا صعبًا للتأقلم مع الفريق، لكنني أعتقد الآن أنه مع وجود الكثير من اللاعبين الجدد يصبح تغيير الفريق أمرًا صعبًا في بعض الأحيان”.
وأضاف جاكبو في حديثه: ”لقد فقدنا أيضًا العديد من اللاعبين الذين قضوا هنا فترة طويلة وكنا معًا لبضع سنوات جيدة الآن. لذلك، رحل بعض اللاعبين مثل لويس دياز، وداروين نونيز، وجاريل كوانساه، وهارفي إليوت. ثم يتعين علينا استبدالهم ويأتي لاعبون جدد ويجب أن نجعل الفريق مناسبًا. أعتقد أن الأمور تسير على ما يرام”.
واختتم الدولي الهولندي: ”نحاول أن نتعرف على بعضنا البعض بشكل أفضل يومًا بعد يوم. ومن المؤسف أيضًا أن ألكسندر إيزاك، لم يشارك في فترة تحضيرية للموسم الجديد، كل هذه الأمور مجتمعة لكنني أعتقد أننا سنجد طريقة للمضي قدمًا”.
Arsenal are a club that have been utterly transformed over the last five years or so.
Mikel Arteta has taken a side that were spiralling down into mid-table mediocrity and has helped craft one of the best teams in Europe, let alone the Premier League.
While his philosophy and tactics have played a significant role in the North Londoners’ rejuvenation, so have the signings they’ve made.
Arsenal manager MikelArtetacelebrates after the match
Under previous Sporting Director Edu Gaspar and Andrea Berta today, the Gunners have become far more effective at identifying and signing brilliant players in the transfer market.
However, Arsenal still have a problem selling stars, and have seen more than their fair share leave for nothing, including an international who could be described as being Arteta’s own Alexander Isak.
Arsenals players who left for nothing
There were signs of improvement with the likes of Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe and Aaron Ramsdale all leaving for decent money last summer, but in the previous four or five years, Arsenal have had too many players leave for nothing.
Where Are They Now
Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast’s Where Are They Now series.
For example, perhaps the most exciting signing the club have ever made, the player whose arrival promised the ushering in of a triumphant period for the club that never arrived, Mesut Özil, ended up leaving for nothing.
The German superstar famously agreed to a bumper £350k-per-week contract renewal in January 2018, and it was pretty much downhill from that moment until he left for Fenerbahçe three years later.
Another big-money signing who left for free was Nicolas Pepe.
The Ivorian was a better player for the Gunners than people gave him credit for, racking up 48 goal involvements in 112 games, but he could never live up to his £75m price tag and, after several middling loans, had his contract terminated by mutual consent.
Going further back, to Unai Emery’s time at the club, and Aaron Ramsey’s exit was another disaster from a financial perspective.
After 369 games for the club, in which he scored 64 goals, provided 60 assists and played a significant role in several FA Cup triumphs, the Welsh legend left the Gunners to join Italian giants Juventus.
With all that said, none of these stars could realistically be compared to Liverpool’s new superstar Isak, which isn’t the case for another ace who left for nothing under Arteta’s watch.
The Arsenal star who was Arteta's Isak
Since taking the job at Arsenal, Arteta has overseen the exits of some notable players, including the aforementioned Ozil, but perhaps the most controversial one was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gabonese international was the club captain for part of the Spaniard’s tenure, but following a drop in form and his late arrival for a North London derby in March 2021, the writing was on the wall for his Gunners career.
The former Borussia Dortmund star was eventually let go for nothing in January 2022, and while he endured a lacklustre year and a half with Barcelona and Chelsea, he quickly found his form in the south of France.
In one season with Marseille, the Laval-born monster scored 30 goals and provided 11 assists in 51 appearances, which was enough to earn him a big-money move to the Saudi Pro League.
The 36-year-old was able to amass an impressive tally of 24 goal involvements in 36 games for Al-Qadsiah last season, but has now returned to Marseille, where he is already outperforming Viktor Gyokeres, producing three goal involvements in three games.

With all of that said, then, what was it about Auba that meant we could describe him as being like Arteta’s Isak in the past?
Well, the first reason is that, prior to going off the boil somewhat, the “world-class” striker, as dubbed by Behdad Eghbali, was a lean, mean goalscoring machine for the manager.
For example, in the 19/20 season, he racked up a sensational haul of 29 goals and three assists in 44 appearances, totalling 3725 minutes.
That comes out to an outrageous average of a goal involvement every 1.37 games, or every 116.40 minutes.
Moreover, like the former Newcastle United star, he’s a lanky striker but undeniably elegant centre-forward, who was capable of a plethora of finishes, but was particularly adept at coming in from out wide and slotting home.
In fact, like the Swede, he may be a striker first, but he has spent a considerable amount of time in his career playing out wide on the wings.
Finally, just as the Reds’ new star helped his former side with the League cup, the former Gunners star played a crucial role in Arteta lifting the FA Cup in his first season as manager.
Ultimately, while there were valid reasons for getting rid of Aubameyang, we can’t help but wonder how useful he’d be in this Arsenal squad, as he clearly still has an excellent ability to put the ball in the back of the net.
