فاروق جعفر: كنت مستعدًا للتجديد مع زيزو من جيبي الشخصي.. والأندية ستدفع الأهلي والزمالك لتطبيق أفكار فيريرا

أكد فاروق جعفر لاعب الزمالك السابق، على سعادته بتجديد عقد نجم الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بالقلعة البيضاء، أحمد سيد زيزو، مُشيرًا إلى أنه الأفضل في مصر.

ونجح الزمالك في تجديد عقد أحمد سيد زيزو لمدة 3 سنوات، وتعديل راتبه السنوي، بعد أن رفض اللاعب استغلال الشرط الجزائي في عقده والمقدر بـ2 مليون دولار.

وقال جعفر في تصريحات عبر برنامج “بوكس تو بوكس”، على قناة “etc”: “زيزو أفضل لاعب في الدوري المصري خلال الموسم الماضي واستحق تعديل راتبه، وأحب أن أشيد بموقف الإدارة وقدرتها على التجديد له في ظل وصول عروض له بمبالغ مالية كبيرة”.

وتابع: “تمسكت باستمرار زيزو في الزمالك عندما كنت مستشارًا فنيًا، حتى لو سأدفع من جيبي الخاص، ومتأكد أنه سيكون أساسيًا في منتخب مصر”.

وعن مبالغة أندية الدوري في بيع لاعبيها لـ الزمالك والأهلي، علق فاروق جعفر: “ما يحدث من تعنت أندية الدوري المصري في بيع لاعبيها للقطبين، سيجعل الإدارتين تبحثان في قطاع الناشئين عن لاعبين لتصعيدهم، وهذا ما حققه فيريرا مع القلعة البيضاء”.

وأضاف: “الكرة المصرية محصورة بين الهواة والاحتراف؛ لذلك لا نستطيع وضع معايير صحيحة لاختيار اللاعبين الذين ينضمون للأهلي أو الزمالك ومستوياتهم، وهذا يجعلهم يشترون لاعبين بمبالغ طائلة ولا يقدمون الإضافة لفرقهم”.

وأردف: “أصبحنا نتعاقد مع لاعبين محترفيين ولا يقدمون الإضافة إلى الفرق، ويجب أن يكون هناك لجنة لتقييم اللاعبين، هناك لاعبون صغار يتقاضون 60 و70 مليون جنيه، فكيف ستتجدد دوافعهم من أجل التطور فيما بعد؟”.

واختتم: “حضرت عزاء شقيقة محمود الخطيب رئيس النادي الأهلي، فهو عشرة عمري وأخي وحبيبي وكان صديقي في الدراسة، وأعتز جدًا بصداقته، وأعزيه مرة آخرى في وفاة شقيقته”.

The Ashes at stake in Oval battle

For the second time in four years, the destination of the Ashes will be decided at the same venue where the legend was conceived way back in 1882

Big PictureFor the second time in four years, the destination of the Ashes will be decided at the same venue where the legend was conceived way back in 1882. In 2005, The Oval in South London was the stage for one of the most wildly celebrated draws of all time, as a jittery England overcame their final-day nerves, thanks to an eye-poppingly aggressive 158 from Kevin Pietersen, a performance that carried his team clear of disaster and all the way to an open-top bus parade through Trafalgar Square the following morning.This time, Pietersen will not be around to mop his colleagues’ brows – his dodgy right Achilles underwent surgery after the second Test, and he might not even be fit in time for the tour to South Africa this winter. Instead, all of England’s hopes and prayers are invested in their other modern-day colossus, Andrew Flintoff, who missed the fourth-Test debacle at Headingley due to doubts about his right knee, but is certain to be thrust into the fray for what is scheduled to be his final Test appearance.Flintoff has said that success in this summer’s Ashes would be an achievement to surpass even his magnificent performance four years ago, and those sentiments have been echoed by Australia’s captain, Ricky Ponting, who has spent most of the year playing down the significance of that defeat, but has now gone on record as saying that this week is the perfect opportunity for vengeance. The quality of the cricket may not have touched the heights we saw when Australia were last on England’s shores, but the level of competitiveness has scarcely diminished a notch.Form guide (last five matches, most recent first)England – LDWDW
Australia – WDLDLWatch out for…Jonathan Trott: A Test debut is, by its very nature, an anxious occasion, but spare a thought for England’s 645th and latest selection. At the age of 28, and with nearly a decade of first-class experience to fall back on, including a stellar 2009 in which he has averaged more than 80 to date, Trott is as well prepared as he could possibly hope to be for such an auspicious occasion. But there’s no way that this was part of England’s summer masterplan. The loss of Pietersen, and the abject failure of a supine middle-order at Headingley, has forced the selectors into a drastic selection. Still, South African-born batsmen have a handy record in Oval Ashes deciders, so that’s something.Mitchell Johnson: Try as we might, it’s been hard to tear our eyes away from Johnson’s travails this summer. At Cardiff he was poor, at Lord’s he was appalling. At Edgbaston he showed signs of a resurgence but was still clobbered at five runs an over. And then at Headingley, everything clicked. Suddenly he was fast and straight, with a vicious bouncer and devastating late swing from a full length, and he was too good for England’s abject batsmen. A five-wicket haul was the reward for his – and the selectors’ – perseverance, and at last the hype that had accompanied him back from South Africa seemed justified. More of the same at The Oval, and England may struggle to stay in the contest.Team newsTrott’s debut is the big news, Flintoff’s return is the secondary story. Ian Bell’s promotion to No. 3 has raised an array of eyebrows from those who’ve studied his average in that position (31.00) and ascertained that he is a glug of ketchup short of a full bottle, and the identity of the fifth bowler remains the mystery to keep us on our toes until the toss. Monty Panesar is in the frame as a potential second spinner, Ryan Sidebottom is lurking to provide some extra lateral movement. More likely, however, is Steve Harmison’s retention on a ground that suits his style, with the unlucky Graham Onions returning to the bench through no fault of his own.England (probable) 1 Andrew Strauss (capt), 2 Alastair Cook, 3 Ian Bell, 4 Paul Collingwood, 5 Jonathan Trott, 6 Matt Prior (wk), 7 Andrew Flintoff, 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 James Anderson, 11 Steve Harmison.All week the talk from the Australian camp has left English observers incredulous. How could they possibly contemplate leaving out Stuart Clark, a player with 29 wickets in six Ashes Tests, and the man whose straight lines and subtle swing goaded his colleagues into abandoning their scattergun approach at Headingley, to dramatically successful effect. Two players, however, are competing for a recall. Brett Lee, the reverse-swing specialist, as Ricky Ponting described him this week, and Nathan Hauritz, the unassuming spinner who has been working on his strategies with Saqlain Mushtaq. Hauritz is probably the likeliest to return, but an all-seam attack deserves to remain the attack of choice.Australia (probable) 1 Simon Katich, 2 Shane Watson, 3 Ricky Ponting (capt), 4 Michael Hussey, 5 Michael Clarke, 6 Marcus North, 7 Brad Haddin (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Stuart Clark, 10 Peter Siddle, 11 Ben Hilfenhaus.Pitch and conditionsDry and bare, but invariably a true wicket, The Oval offers rewards to sides who risk two spinners, but there is plenty of bounce and carry for the seamers on either side as well. “Any bowler who is not on top of their game can expect to be punished, particularly once the batsmen are in,” Chris Adams, Surrey’s cricket manager, told Cricinfo. “Australia certainly have in-form batsmen at the moment, and it could be quite painful for the bowlers if they’re allowed to get set.”The big concern for both teams, but especially England who desperately need to win, is the weather forecast. It has been glorious in London all week, but the rain is set to return with a vengeance this week.Stats and trivia England have won 37 and lost 18 of the 91 matches they have played at The Oval, while Australia won 6 and lost 15 out of 34. With three wins, two draws and one defeat since 1985, it is England’s most successful Ashes venue in recent times.In the four Tests in the series so far, Australia’s fast bowlers – Ben Hilfenhaus, Peter Siddle, Johnson and Clark – have averaged 28.11 per wicket for their 53 scalps. England’s fast men – James Anderson, Onions, Stuart Broad, Flintoff and Harmison – have conceded more than 37 runs per wicket.For a full stats preview click here.Quotes”There is nothing bigger than playing a deciding Test in an Ashes series, and you have to grab these moments when they present themselves because you may never experience such a match ever again.”
“If we win this one it will be a far greater achievement than 2005. That was fantastic but the side had performed well over a period of time and we’d beaten everyone in the world.”

Newcastle eyeing Phil Jones swoop

An update has emerged on Manchester United defender Phil Jones, regarding Newcastle’s interest in his services.

What’s the talk?

According to The Sun, the Magpies are one of the teams eyeing him up as a possible target for the January transfer window.

The report names Watford as one of the other clubs interested in the English centre-back, whilst Championship side Derby – managed by Wayne Rooney – are also in the running.

Blunder

Eddie Howe, who is reportedly close to taking over at St. James’ Park, could make an early blunder by signing Jones from United. The ex-Bournemouth coach must avoid making a major mistake in his first window by opting against a deal for the Englishman.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/check-out-the-latest-newcastle-howe-ter-stegen” title= “Read the latest Newcastle news!”]

Put simply, there is no need for the club to take such a risk with Jones when they can look elsewhere. If Newcastle are looking to sign players to help them avoid relegation then availability and reliability are two factors that must be closely considered and Jones’ track record suggests that he is a dud who will not be able to provide what they need.

United legend Rio Ferdinand once blasted him as a ‘waste of time’ for remaining at Old Trafford despite his lack of minutes on the pitch. He said:

“He’s done well. Listen, good luck to him if you can get it. Staying at Man United is a great gig, but I look at him as a person, are you really going to be happy sitting there all these years.

“There are players who are happy to just sit at clubs and not play and just chill. Winston Bogarde did it at Chelsea for about three or four years. Signed a big deal and commuted in from Holland.

“If I was in the squad with someone like that I wouldn’t talk to them. They are a waste of time, why would I chat to you and give you any energy, taking that away from my other teammates who are here to play and go into battle for 90 minutes every week.”

The defender is said to be on £110k-per-week at the club and has made eight appearances since the start of the 2019/20 campaign. Jones has suffered 22 separate injuries for United, with his latest one keeping him out for 78 competitive matches.

This shows how unreliable he is due to his injury situation and Howe should not be trying to take a risk with the dud in January. Instead, the Magpies should try to sign a player with recent first-team involvement so that they can hit the ground running in the second-half of the season.

West Brom dealt big injury blow

After failing to beat Middlesbrough at home in their previous Championship outing, West Brom head into the latest international break in third place in the league table, eight points below leaders AFC Bournemouth and six below Fulham.

Before the Middlesbrough draw, Valerien Ismael’s side managed to beat Hull City 1-0 but were dealt an injury blow when defender Kean Bryan was forced off the pitch with a knee injury just a few minutes before halftime.

Now that some time has passed, the severity of this injury has become clear, and it does not look good for the defender.

What’s the latest?

It has recently been revealed that Bryan has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage, which will be absolutely gutting for the West Brom fans to hear. They were rightfully sad after learning this news, responding to the player’s tweet with plenty of get well messages.

However, this will equally be bad news for Ismael as well considering Bryan was brought into the club in the first place as a replacement for Dara O’Shea who also suffered a serious injury earlier in the season.

Even though the 25-year-old, who is currently valued at £1.8m according to Transfermarkt, had only played nine minutes across two appearances in the Championship prior to the Hull game, which was his first league start of the season for the Baggies, it will still be a big blow for the club to not be able to count on Bryan as a defensive option from now until the rest of the season.

During the 40 minutes he played against Hull before suffering his injury, Bryan managed to show how much of a useful defensive outlet he can be for the team after making two clearances and racking up an average passing accuracy percentage of 88% with 28 passes completed out of the 32 he attempted.

Moving forward, with this news in mind, Ismael will have to make sure that the current defensive options he has at his disposal will be able to stay fit for the rest of the campaign and hope that O’Shea can recover from his injury as quickly as possible.

After all, he is still currently listed as West Brom’s highest-rated player based on his Championship performances according to WhoScored, despite only making five appearances, showing just how good he is for the team.

Keith Downie drops Newcastle update on Howe

Sky Sports journalist Keith Downie has revealed the latest on Newcastle United’s talks with Eddie Howe to become their new manager.

What’s the story?

Reports in recent days had pointed towards Villareal manager Unai Emery being the man the new owners wanted in place for this weekend’s Premier League game against Brighton, but after that fell through on Wednesday, attentions have quickly towards elsewhere.

Writing on Twitter, Downie said: “Talks are on-going between Newcastle and Eddie Howe over their vacant manager’s position. Howe is under serious consideration following Unai Emery’s rejection yesterday. Understand he also held talks previously with Newcastle pre-takeover.”

Newcastle’s search could finally be over

In what has been a roller-coaster of a couple of days, it appears the Magpies finally look set to end this managerial saga and appoint Howe as the man to permanently replace Steve Bruce in the dugout at St James’ Park.

While missing out on Emery is no doubt a big blow to the new ownership, getting someone in place for the clash against Brighton was absolutely critical.

Though the Premier League campaign may still be in its early days, the Tyneside club’s wretched start has seen them firmly fixed in the bottom three of the table with just four points – they remain six points off safety.

Howe’s appointment would at least give the Newcastle players and the fans as a whole a sense of relief and clarity about things going forward, instead of the state of uncertainty currently clouding the club.

Though Howe may not be everybody’s first-choice, the fact Downie claims that talks are ongoing with the former Bournemouth boss and that he is “under serious consideration” should delight fans who must be getting tired of all this managerial drama already. All they want is a manager, and that dream could finally be realised in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Craig Hope has dropped a late-night twist on Newcastle’s manager hunt…

Donald to help MacLeod with bowling action

The 20-year-old Scotland fast bowler was left out of the national team over concerns about an illegal bowling action.

Cricinfo staff07-Jul-2009

Allan Donald: “Calum is a talented cricketer and we think highly of him at Warwickshire, and hopefully it will not take too long to correct this.”•ICC

Former South African fast bowler Allan Donald has said he will help Scotland paceman Calum MacLeod revive his career after the 20-year-old was left out of the national team over concerns about his bowling action.The right-arm fast bowler was reported by Brian Jerling and Enamul Hoque-Moni, the on-field umpires, as well as third umpire Sandy Scotland, after Scotland’s Intercontinental Cup match against Canada in Aberdeen. In their report, the umpires raised concerns over MacLeod’s bowling action and felt it needed to be scrutinised further under the relevant ICC process.Pending the result of the assessment, the bowler can continue to play and bowl in international cricket but runs the risk of being called. But MacLeod was stood down after consultations between Cricket Scotland coaches, the ICC and the umpires.Donald, who is the bowling coach at MacLeod’s county side Warwickshire, is confident that his action can be rectified but thinks he should forget about bowling again competitively for the next few months.MacLeod led the attack for Scotland in last month’s World Twenty20 in England and it was the television coverage which set alarm bells ringing at Edgbaston, where former Scotland allrounder Dougie Brown works closely with MacLeod as academy coach.Donald was optimistic and said: “Calum is a talented cricketer and we think highly of him at Warwickshire, and hopefully it will not take too long to correct this. But it will take a while because we have to remodify a few things in his action.”Until last year there was no problem at all but during the World Twenty20 from a certain camera angle it became obvious to myself and Dougie Brown and head coach Ashley Giles that there might be a problem. We have sat him down and talked to him about it and he has responded well.”I have spoken to a lot of people about this chucking issue and there are many inconsistencies in the process by which they judge if a bowler is throwing or not. Young players get used to doing something day in day out and we have to spot this in a young bowler earlier in their development and sort it out then.”
