In a stinging retort to the BCB’s new rule that a legspinner must bowl four overs in every innings of the Bangladesh Premier League, Shakib Al Hasan has said that the T20 league cannot be expected to “make” players, while also drawing attention to the poor pay structure and training facilities in the country’s domestic set-up.Of late, the BCB has been stressing on the importance of legspin, so much so that it even fired two National Cricket League (NCL) coaches last week for not picking legspinners in their respective first-class teams.”I think that legspinners should bowl a lot of overs in first-class cricket to gain confidence and consistency,” Shakib told the Bengali daily . “The BPL is an international-standard competitive tournament where you will face scenarios that you are likely to face in international cricket. You share the dressing room with overseas cricketers. It is not the place to make a player.”For so many years, we couldn’t select a legspinner for the senior team, but suddenly we made plans to include seven legspinners in the BPL. This decision does come as a bit of a surprise, but I would still say that the board has taken a decision that it thinks is good.”ESPNcricinfo understands that the order about including a legspinner – as well as a 140kph-plus pacer – in BPL XIs had come from the Bangladesh team management. At the time of announcing the rule, BCB director Mahbubul Anam had said: “BCB wants this BPL to be about improving Bangladesh’s cricketers in T20s, so we want to make sure that our batsmen and bowlers get enough opportunities [against quicks and legspinners].”Shakib also criticised the lack of increments in the salary of domestic cricketers, calling for better communication from the “decision-makers”. He also expressed dissatisfaction about the fact that the BPL is no longer a franchise-run event, which means player payments are expected to be lower than before. The cash-rich Dhaka Premier League (DPL), which for four decades had operated with players transferred from club to club in an open market, also now has heavy caps and a draft in place to help clubs cut player payments.”[First-class match fees] is very unacceptable,” Shakib said. “It is a very small amount for a cricketer to maintain the minimum standard of living in Bangladesh. Things are getting costlier. Government officers get increments every year, but we see that it is same for us every time. It even gets reduced. BPL and DPL are big examples of this.”I always get a feeling that cricketers in our country are being suppressed. This is not right. Everyone should have equal opportunity. A player should be left to earn what he feels he deserves. If the team doesn’t want to take the player at that payment, the player will deal with it. But to stop him from [freely naming his price] is not right.ALSO READ: Bangladesh’s first-class system struggles in a Test Championship world”If the decision-makers don’t think that they need to sit with us, then we don’t have much to do. I think that discussion with players or a group of players will help cricket’s development. But I am glad that they are focused on cricket development. Like, the concern shown towards fitness, although they could have announced it earlier. Papon (Nazmul Hassan, the BCB president) did say that fitness tests will become tougher but they will announce it earlier.”Shakib also drew attention to the indoor facilities in Mirpur, where batsmen struggle while training during the summer months due to the lack of air-conditioning.”Only focusing on the national team shouldn’t be the main job of the organisers. Places like Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna and Sylhet should have a proper gym, running and indoor facilities. You cannot bat for more than 15 minutes in the Mirpur indoor facilities, because it gets so hot. They haven’t installed ACs even after being told for ten years.”It is quite disappointing, especially when we see indoors in other countries that have clear lighting and ACs.”

Sheffield Wednesday need to axe star who earns double Cadamarteri’s wages

Sheffield Wednesday have their feet very much back on the ground now in the unfolding Championship race to stave off the drop, the Owls cut open at will last time out as automatic promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town won 6-0 at Portman Road.

Such a devastating loss could really dent Danny Rohl's men psychologically, with the German boss no doubt wanting his players to remain focused on the task of staying in the division regardless even as the international break grinds second-tier games to a temporary halt.

Rohl won't have been pleased with some notable underperformers that flopped against the Tractor Boys, mainly one fringe figure who could be offloaded in the summer owing not just to his dire performances this season but also due to his hefty wage.

Mallik Wilks' wage at Sheffield Wednesday

According to Capology, Mallik Wilks – despite making only 14 appearances in the Championship this campaign – rakes in a handsome pay packet of £11.9k per week.

The former Hull City man has started remarkably only one of those games, with the 25-year-old winger just blending into the background at Hillsborough consequently instead of taking his stuttering Owls career by the scruff of its neck.

Wilks' lacklustre 37-minute run-out at Portman Road won't exactly be demanding that Rohl starts selecting him from the get-go more often either, failing to hit a single on-target effort on the Ipswich net from his forgettable second-half cameo alongside managing just three passes.

It's his extortionate salary compared to other more bright members of the Wednesday camp that will rile those with connections to the South Yorkshire side further, with the 6 foot attacker boasting a far heftier pay packet than rising Owls star Bailey Cadamarteri despite the teenager offering so much more for his relegation-threatened side.

Mallik Wilks' wage compared to the Wednesday squad

Cadamarteri has even been called up to the Jamaica international ranks for the first time during this break, but he still comes in as earning a lesser £5k per week salary with Wilks earning more than double that amount even when fading in and out of the first team.

Scoring four times in all competitions since bursting through into the senior side, a respectable goal return for a novice, the 18-year-old striker will feel hard done by that Wilks is pocketing a better wage.

Looking at the table above, Cadamarteri won't be alone in feeling incensed about Wilks' high salary and therefore Wednesday could look to get rid of their ex-Tigers man this summer.

Never quite living up to the hype that was generated around his capture in 2022 – with Wilks previously prolific at Hull having found the back of the net 19 times during the 2020-21 campaign – the 25-year-old could be set to move on when his contract expires in June.

Between now and then however, Rohl will still aim to get a tune out of his struggling attacker as the Owls all band together to try and remain in the Championship.

MatériaMais Notícias

Em partida válida pela sexta e última rodada do Grupo A da Copa Libertadores da América 2021, o Palmeiras goleou o Universitario por 6 a 0, no Allianz Parque. Os gols foram marcados por Matías Viña, Zé Rafael, Gustavo Gómez, Wesley e Rony (2x).

Com a vitória, o Verdão alcançou os 15 pontos e terminou líder do Grupo A, além de ficar com a segunda melhor campanha geral da competição. Já a equipe peruana ficou na última posição do grupo, com quatro pontos.

EXPULSÃO NOS MINUTOS INICIAIS

O Palmeiras controlava a posse de bola, mas não conseguia acelerar o jogo e infiltrar na defesa adversária. O Universitario, mesmo com uma formação defensiva, encontrava alguns espaços nos contra-ataques.

O jogo mudou de rumo aos 17 minutos. O atacante Alberto Quintero recebeu lançamento e ia em direção ao gol. Weverton saiu da área e disputou a bola com a cabeça. O jogador da equipe adversária acertou apenas a cabeça do arqueiro alviverde, e o árbitroCristian Garay expulsou Quintero.

PROBLEMAS DE CRIAÇÃO

Com um homem a mais, o Verdão adiantou suas linhas de marcação, mas seguia com problemas para criar jogadas. Aos 27, Wesley recebeu com espaço e tocou para Willian, no lado esquerdo da área. O atacante chutou de chapa, mas não pegou bem na bola, eCarvallo fez fácil defesa.

O camisa 29 teve mais duas chances na primeira etapa, e em uma delas, ficou na bronca com a arbitragem, reclamando de um possível pênalti em lance com Rugel.

VERDÃO ENGATA SEGUNDA MARCHA

Aos 37, a equipe da casa teve a chance mais perigosa da partida. Gustavo Scarpa recebeu lançamento e carimbou a trave.

Nos minutos finais do primeiro tempo, o Palmeiras encontrou espaços e marcou dois gols. O primeiro nasceu aos 41, em cruzamento de Gabriel Menino. A bola desviou na defesa, e Matías Viña invadiu a área e chutou de primeira.

Aos 46, Zé Rafael aproveitou vacilo do zagueiro Alonso, entra livre na área e apenas deslocou o goleiro para ampliar a vantagem alviverde.

VIROU PASSEIO…

O Palmeiras voltou do intervalo com uma postura mais agressiva, enquanto o Universitario não conseguia sair do campo de defesa.

Aos 5 minutos, Viña chutou ao gol, Alonso não conseguiu afastar a bola, que se ofereceu a Wesley. No canto esquerdo da área, o jovem chutou colocado, mas o auxiliar anotou impedimento do atacante palmeirense.

Mesmo com o gol anulado, a equipe da casa chegou ao terceiro tento. Após confusão na área e uma saída esquisita do goleiroCarvallo, Gustavo Gómez aproveitou sobra e, de fora da área, ampliou.

E não parou por aí. Seis minutos depois, Scarpa recebeu de Gabriel Menino na direita, fez bom drible de corpo e cruzou rasteiro. Viña chutou travado, e a bola se ofereceu para Willian, sozinho, fazer o quarto tento palmeirense.

ABEL MUDA E RONY ANOTA DOIS

Com ampla vantagem, Abel Ferreira colocou em campo Luan, Rony e Luiz Adriano, tirando Gustavo Gómez, Alan Empereur e Willian.

Com três minutos em campo, o camisa 7 palmeirense balançou as redes. Após cruzamento da esquerda, Gabriel Menino cabeceou cruzado, Rony apareceu embaixo da trave e fez o quinto.

Rony ainda contou com vacilo enorme da defesa adversária, e, aos 45 da etapa final, roubou a bola na área do rival e fez seu segundo na partida.

O Verdão tinha amplo domínio da partida e empilhou chances contra a equipe peruana, que ficou sem respostas durante o segundo tempo.

Arsenal were bled dry by Wenger dud who earned more than Smith Rowe does

Arsenal's resurgence over the last couple of years has been based on several different factors, but one of the most important has been squad building.

Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar have overseen the recruitment of some brilliant players, such as Martin Odegaard, Gabriel, and Declan Rice, but they have also sanctioned the sale of those who were not good enough.

The team Arteta took over and the one today is almost entirely different, and the wage bill has been transformed in the process, with players who actually contribute earning the big bucks, unlike just a few years ago when a player who was never really good enough took home more than Emile Smith Rowe earns today.

Emile Smith Rowe's salary at Arsenal

Smith Rowe has endured an interesting career at Arsenal, breaking through as one of the most exciting young talents alongside Bukayo Saka a few years ago, to someone who has seriously struggled for game time over the last couple of campaigns through a mix of injury problems and the development of the surrounding team.

That said, it should not be forgotten just how good the young Englishman was at points for the North Londoners.

For example, in the 2020/21 season, the Croydon-born gem scored seven goals and provided seven assists in just 37 games, and then followed that up with 11 goals and two assists the following campaign, at which point he was described as "incredibly prolific" by talent scout Jacek Kulig.

Just before the start of that fruitful season, the 23-year-old ace signed a new deal with the club that increased his £15k-per-week wages to £40k-per-week. While that could be considered a lot of money for a player who has made just 31 appearances across the last two seasons, he has already proven that, when given a chance, he can operate at a high level.

In comparison, a player who used to earn more than Smith Rowe currently does never fulfilled his potential at the club and arguably never came close.

Calum Chambers salary at Arsenal

Yes, the player in question is former Arsenal defender Calum Chambers, who joined the Gunners for £16m from Southampton in the summer of 2014, signed by Arsene Wenger, before joining Aston Villa for around £2m in January 2022.

arsenal-calum-chambers-aston-villa

The Petersfield-born ace made just 122 appearances for the club across his seven-and-a-half-year stay, scoring five goals and providing nine assists. He did spend one season on loan with Middlesbrough and one on loan with Fulham.

In his first three seasons as an Arsenal player, he earned a cool £45k-per-week, but in the 2017/18 season, that went up to £50k-per-week, or around £10k-per-week more than Smith Rowe is currently earning.

Therefore, for the five and a half seasons he was an Arsenal player – taking away the two years he spent on loan – the 29-year-old cost the club around £14.6m in wages alone.

Combined with the £16m fee and the £2m they got back for him, the North Londoners paid around £28.6m for very little return from the Wenger dud.

Ultimately, it's hard not to consider Chambers's time at Arsenal a mistake, although it makes the wage Smith Rowe earns look justified.

Ajinkya Rahane moves from Rajasthan Royals to Delhi Capitals

Legspin duo of Mayank Markande and Rahul Tewatia to move from Capitals to Royals

ESPNcricinfo staff14-Nov-2019

What is Ajinkya Rahane thinking?•BCCI

Rajasthan Royals have traded Ajinkya Rahane to Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2020. The move was confirmed by the IPL and both franchises on Thursday, the final day of the trading window. Rahane has become the second high-profile player to be acquired by the Capitals in the trading window after R Ashwin, and he’ll join a line-up that is already top-heavy, with the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw and Shreyas Iyer in the top order, with Rishabh Pant to follow.Rahane is the Royals’ most capped player, having played 106 matches for them, with 100 coming in the IPL and six in the Champions League T20. He represented them since 2011, with the exception of the 2016 and 2017 seasons when the team was suspended, and he played for Rising Pune Supergiant. He is also the Royals’ leading run-scorer, with 3098 runs for them overall, at an average of 35.60 and a strike rate of 122.30. In the IPL, he scored 2810 runs for them at an average of 34.26 and a strike rate of 122.65.He captained the Royals in 24 matches, winning nine and losing 15. Rahane had faced some criticism for his strike rate at the top of the order in IPL 2018, when he tallied 370 runs at 28.46 but at a rate of only 118.21. He improved those numbers significantly in IPL 2019, with 393 runs at 32.75 and a strike rate of 137.89, including a 58-ball century against the Capitals.As part of the trade, the legspinning duo of Mayank Markande and Rahul Tewatia will move from the Capitals to the Royals. That also makes Markande the first player to be traded twice between seasons – having gone to the Capitals from Mumbai Indians earlier.Markande played only three matches in IPL 2019, losing out on the legspinner’s spot to Rahul Chahar in the Mumbai side, taking one wicket and conceding runs at 9.83 per over. He had made his IPL debut with Mumbai in 2018, bursting onto the scene as an unknown and taking 15 wickets that year.Tewatia played five matches in IPL 2019, but bowled only 6.2 overs overall, picking up two wickets. This move will mark a return for Tewatia to the franchise he started his IPL career with, having been part of the Royals in 2014 and 2015. He was also part of Kings XI Punjab in 2017, before the Capitals secured his services in 2018.Their addition gives the Royals a surfeit of legspinners, with Shreyas Gopal already in the team.”Rahul and Mayank are both extremely talented cricketers with a bright future ahead of them. I am confident they will excel at Rajasthan Royals,” Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal said. “I am also extremely honoured to welcome one of India’s most stellar and consistent batsmen, Ajinkya Rahane, to the DC family. When the franchise underwent a revamp last year, a decision was made to keep Indian players at its core. The result was there for everyone to see, with the likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Ishant Sharma performing brilliantly for us, and complimenting the youth that DC has in Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Prithvi Shaw, among others.”That thought process has continued for us this time around as well, as is evident in the signing of Ravichandran Ashwin, followed by that of Ajinkya Rahane. I am sure Rahane’s wealth of experience, and familiarity with the conditions will help Delhi Capitals go a long way in IPL 2020.”The Royals had used one of their Right to Match cards to buy Rahane for INR 4 crore in the IPL 2018 auctions, following bidding between Kings XI and Mumbai, which Kings XI won. Tewatia had been bought by the Capitals, then Delhi Daredevils, for INR 3 crore, from a base price of INR 20 lakh. Mumbai had bought Markande for his base price of INR 20 lakh.IPL 2020 trades:
R Ashwin: Kings XI Punjab to Delhi Capitals
Ajinkya Rahane: Rajasthan Royals to Delhi Capitals
Sherfane Rutherford: Delhi Capitals to Mumbai Indians
K Gowtham: Rajasthan Royals to Kings XI Punjab
Trent Boult: Delhi Capitals to Mumbai Indians
Dhawal Kulkarni: Rajasthan Royals to Mumbai Indians
Ankit Rajpoot: Kings XI Punjab to Rajasthan Royals
Rahul Tewatia: Delhi Capitals to Rajasthan Royals
Mayank Markande: Mumbai Indians to Delhi Capitals to Rajasthan Royals

طارق سليمان: لاعب الأهلي صحح مسار الفريق في السوبر.. وسيتألق أمام العين

أكد طارق سليمان، مدرب حراس مرمى الأهلي السابق، والمقاولون العرب الحالي، أن مواجهة المارد الأحمر لفريق العين الإماراتي اليوم بكأس الإنتركونتينينتال ستكون صعبة على كليهما.

وتقام المباراة على أرضية استاد القاهرة الدولي، بين بطل إفريقيا، النادي الأهلي، وبطل آسيا، نادي العين، في تمام الثامنة مساءً بتوقيت مصر والسعودية.

وقال طارق سليمان عبر برنامج “وان تو”، على إذاعة “أون سبورت إف إم”: “شاهدت مباريات فريق العين في دوري أبطال آسيا، وهو فريق كبير ومنظم ويلعب كرة مفتوحة برتم سريع، وستكون مواجهة صعبة في بطولة كبيرة وهامة ستلعب وسط جماهير الأهلي”.

وتابع: “لكن فرص الأهلي أكبر لأنه يلعب وسط جماهيره وعلى ملعبه، الأهلي يمتلك لاعبين جيدين، وكانوا في حالة تركيز غير عادية أمام الزمالك في السوبر المصري، لأن في مباراة السوبر الإفريقي كانوا سيئين، ولم أر الأهلي بهذا السوء والاستهتار من قبل، ولكن ظهر عكس ذلك في المباراة الأخيرة”.

وأضاف: “مشاركة محمد الشناوي في مباراة السوبر المصري كانت مهمة بعد تعرضه للانتقاد عقب السوبر الإفريقي، وتصدى لركلة جزاء شيكابالا وتألق وأعاد الأهلي للمسار الصحيح ليفوز باللقب”.

واختتم: “أنا متأكد إن الشناوي سيتألق أمام العين اليوم وأمام الجماهير، وإن شاء الله الأهلي يتأهل للمواجهة القادمة”.

Perguntado sobre a importância de sua experiência nas categorias de base do Tricolor Paulista, Pedro Oliveira ressaltou o tempo que ficou nas instalações de Cotia, treinando nas categorias de base.

– Muito boa e importantíssima (passagem no São Paulo). O São Paulo me ajudou a me tornar quem eu sou, não só dentro como fora de campo também. Foram seis anos vitoriosos na base do clube, serei eternamente grato por tudo que aprendi e vivi lá em Cotia – afirmou o jogador.

Campeão do Paulista sub-17 (2015), bicampeão daCopa RS Ipiranga (2016 e 2017), fazendo gol na final de 2016, campeão da Copa Ouro sub-20 (2018), da Copa do Brasil sub-23 (2018) e do Brasileiro de Aspirantes (2018), Pedro falou não teve oportunidades na equipe profissional do São Paulo, mas não guarda mágoa pela falta de chances.

-Como todos atletas de Cotia, meu sonho era jogar na equipe principal do São Paulo, quando estava na base sempre assistia na TV e tinha a expectativa de ter essa sensação. Em 2017 cheguei a fazer alguns treinos a pedido do Rogério, mas infelizmente a oportunidade não veio, mas um dia tenho certeza que irei realizar esse sonho – disse.

Sobre a sua experiência na Europa, onde foi eleito o melhor médio sub-21 do Campeonato de Portugal 2019/20, Pedro Oliveira disse que serviu como uma evolução como jogador e um grande passo em sua carreira.

– Foi uma experiência muito interessante, evolui bastante como pessoa e jogador, senti como é diferente o ritmo e a dinâmica do futebol Europeu. Também tive minha primeira experiência como profissional lá, então hoje me sinto mais preparado para atuar em qualquer clube do Brasil – explicou.

Você é da mesma geração do Militão, Liziero, entre outros atletas. Essa experiência com outros jogadores te ajuda na carreira?

Ajuda muito, pois desde muito novo treino e jogo com atletas de alto nível. A disputa para jogar sempre foi muito grande e quando temos essa disputa, o crescimento pessoal de cada um é muito maior e esse é um dos motivos que fazem o São Paulo estar sempre revelando grandes jogadores, pois desde cedo competimos com os melhores por um lugar no time.

​Seu contrato com o São Paulo se encerra agora em junho. Há alguma expectativa de renovação com o clube?

O meu desejo sempre foi e é até hoje, conquistar títulos e retribuir toda a confiança que o clube me deu, mas essa parte de renovação deixo mais com os meus representantes.

Você tem um fato muito legal e curioso que foi marcar por duas vezes um gol do meio-campo. Qual o segredo para isso?

Gosto de observar o posicionamento do goleiro sempre, fui muito feliz nas duas vezes que tentei e espero repetir esse feito mais vezes (risos).

Pretende continuar na Europa, ou quer voltar a jogar no Brasil?

Gostei bastante do futebol Europeu e me adaptei muito rápido, acredito que minhas características ajudaram nisso. Mas se tiver a oportunidade de voltar a jogar no Brasil, também aceitaria de braços abertos.

فيديو | مشجعو مكابي تل أبيب يمزقون أعلام فلسطين.. وجماهير أياكس ترد بالهجوم

كشفت تقارير صحفية عن قيام مشجعي كرة القدم الإسرائيليين بتمزيق أعلام فلسطين أثناء مسيراتهم في أمستردام في ليلة الأربعاء، على خلفية زيارة مكابي تل أبيب إلى أياكس.

والتقى مكابي تل أبيب مع أياكس في منافسات الدوري الأوروبي، وتعرض الفريق الإسرائيلي لهزيمة بخمسة أهداف دون رد.

وبحسب ما ورد من صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية، ظهر عشرات الأشخاص المقنعين الذين يرتدون ملابس سوداء وهم يهتفون ويصرخون “اذهبي إلى الجحيم يا فلسطين”.

يذكر التقرير أن أحدهم صعد إلى منتصف الطريق أمام مبنى وأزالوا العلم الفلسطيني من شارع روكين الرئيسي، ونزعوها من منازل المواطنين.

وظهر أيضًا أحد الأشخاص وهو يضرب سيارة أجرة بقضيب حديدي قبل أن ينطلق السائق.

كما وقعت اشتباكات بين مشجعي فريق مكابي وسائقي سيارات الأجرة في هولندا.

يشير التقرير إلى وقوع اشتباكات يُزعم أنها بين مشجعي مكابي ومجموعة من مشجعي أياكس المغاربة. 

ولم تقم شرطة أمستردام بإلقاء القبض على أي شخص ولم تؤكد أن مرتكبي الوقائع العنيفة من مشجعي فريق مكابي.

فيما أدلى داني دانون، السفير الإسرائيلي لدى الأمم المتحدة، بتصريح حصري لفوكس نيوز ديجيتال مساء الخميس.

وقال دانون: “نحن نشهد مذبحة ضد اليهود والإسرائيليين في أمستردام، في عام 2024، يجب أن تتوقف هذه المذبحة، لم تكن عبارة “عولمة الانتفاضة” مجرد شعار لهؤلاء المؤيدين للإرهاب، أحث الحكومة الهولندية على مساعدة جميع الإسرائيليين واليهود على الفور، لقد حان الوقت للرد بقوة ضد هؤلاء المشاغبين الهمجيين”.

اقرأ أيضًا | فيديو | برسالة قوية.. جماهير باريس سان جيرمان تدعم فلسطين ولبنان

وعبر حسابه على منصة “إكس” نشر مقطع فيديو وكتب: “نتلقى تقارير مزعجة للغاية عن عنف شديد ضد الإسرائيليين واليهود في شوارع هولندا”،

كما كتب “هناك مذبحة تجري حاليًا في أوروبا في عام 2024، هذه هي الوجوه الحقيقية لمؤيدي الإرهاب المتطرف الذي نحاربه، يحتاج العالم الغربي إلى الاستيقاظ الآن !!”.

ونشرت سفارة إسرائيل في الولايات المتحدة مقطع فيديو وعلقت: “تعرض مئات من مشجعي فريق كرة القدم مكابي تل أبيب لكمين وهجوم في أمستردام الليلة أثناء مغادرتهم الملعب بعد مباراة ضد أياكس، وقد شارك الغوغاء الذين استهدفوا هؤلاء الإسرائيليين الأبرياء بفخر أعمالهم العنيفة على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي”.

كما أدان النائب ريتشي توريس، ديمقراطي من نيويورك، أعمال العنف، قائلاً: “لقد أدت شيطنة إسرائيل الهستيرية والمبالغ فيها إلى اندلاع عالمي للهجوم المعادي للسامية والتخريب والعنف”.

كما كتب على إكس: “إن المظهر الأكثر وحشية لمعاداة السامية هو المذبحة التي تتكشف حاليًا ضد مئات اليهود الذين كانوا يشجعون نادي تل أبيب لكرة القدم في أمستردام”.

وواصل: “أولئك الذين يحرضون على معاداة السامية لديهم الآن دماء مذبحة القرن الحادي والعشرين على أيديهم، الوضع مزرٍ للغاية لدرجة أن الحكومة الإسرائيلية ترسل فرق إنقاذ لليهود المعرضين للخطر، أشعر بالغثيان من حدوث مذبحة في القرن الحادي والعشرين”.

أفادت قناة RTL الهولندية بأنه تم اعتقال العشرات ليلة الخميس، معظمهم قبل المباراة.

وقال متحدث باسم الشرطة الوطنية الهولندية للصحيفة: “كانت هناك اضطرابات، لا يمكننا تحديد من ينتمي إلى من، ليس من السهل التمييز بين المجموعات، وكلهم تقريبًا يرتدون ملابس داكنة”.

وقالت الشرطة إنها “منعت مواجهة بين مجموعة من سائقي سيارات الأجرة ومجموعة من الزوار الذين قدموا من الكازينو المجاور”، بحسب ما ذكرت “ديلي ميل”.

وأفادت الصحيفة البريطانية بأنها لم تتمكن من العثور على لقطات لسائقين ومشجعين يشتبكون شخصيًا.

على الرغم من ذلك، أحد المصادر عبر الإنترنت أشار إلى تحالف من سائقي سيارات الأجرة وأوبر يقوم “بطرد المشجعين من المدينة”.

وعلّق أحد السائقين عبر إكس: “الترهيب والتخريب في مدينتنا: “مشجع مكابي يلحق الضرر بسيارة أجرة، هذا النوع من العنف ضد السائقين المجتهدين أمر غير مقبول، حان الوقت لجعل أمستردام آمنة مرة أخرى”.

ويظهر أحد مقاطع الفيديو المنشورة على حساب عبر إنستجرام “Week4Palestine” رجلاً، يُفترض أنه من مشجعي إسرائيل، في نهر أمستل، ويظهر صوتًا: “قل فلسطين الحرة وسنذهب”.

وقد تم التعليق على الفيديو: “عندما لا تقوم العمدة بواجباتها، سيتعين على سكان المدينة القيام بذلك بأنفسهم!، شارع من؟” “أوه نعم، شارعنا، حصل صهيوني على درس سباحة مجاني”، وقد أرفق المنشور بوجه مبتسم.

وأشارت “هآرتس” الإسرائيلية إلى أن المشجعين الذين سافروا إلى هولندا لمشاهدة مباراة مكابي تل أبيب وأياكس أمستردام يوم الخميس تعرضوا للهجوم في عدة أماكن في المدينة بعد المباراة من قبل أشخاص يهتفون “فلسطين حرة” ويوجهون الشتائم باللغة العربية.

وتقول وزارة الخارجية الإسرائيلية إن السلطات في هولندا أفادت بإصابة 10 إسرائيليين.

ولم يعلق أياكس ولا مكابي تل أبيب على الاضطرابات قبل مباراتهما في الدوري الأوروبي ليلة الخميس.

Offspinner Will Somerville will return to the SCG where he played for New South Wales after being called up to the New Zealand squad for the final Test against Australia as Trent Boult’s replacement.Somerville, the 35-year-old offspinner, has played three Tests for New Zealand, all of them in Asia, and has taken 14 wickets at 25.14 after returning home to New Zealand following a five-year spell in Australian cricket. He played 12 first-class matches for New South Wales including five at the SCG where he took 23 wickets at 20.69.While it might seem unusual for a spinner to replace a fast bowler in the squad, the decision has been made with an eye on conditions. The SCG pitch has aided spinners in the Sheffield Shield this season and Australia have added uncapped legspinner Mitchell Swepson to their squad with that in mind.ALSO READ: Boult out of SCG Test after fracturing hand”There’s no secret the SCG pitch is one of the more spin-friendly in Australia,” New Zealand coach Gary Stead said. “Will offers something different to our two other spinners in the squad with his right-arm offspin and height.”Will’s played a lot at the SCG and understands the ground so well be tapping into his knowledge around the chances of that wicket turning and what role the spinners will play. The reason we brought him over is we have enough pace bowling cover for one game and certainly spin is something at the SCG that has been more of a factor than other grounds in Australia.”Former New South Wales team-mate Nathan Lyon believed that Somerville could pose a challenge for Australia if he plays in Sydney. “He’s a lovely guy, he goes up the back of the ball,” he said. “I’ve trained with him a fair bit being part of the NSW squad together for a few years there. He’ll be a big challenge for us. He gets a fair amount of bounce, has a great record at the SCG, he loves bowling there. He’ll be a different challenge for us and good one for our batters.”Incumbent spinner Mitchell Santner has struggled in the first two Tests taking 1 for 250, but bolsters the lower order with his batting, while legspinner Todd Astle is also in the squad and Stead said playing two spinners could certainly come into the equation.”It definitely suggests we could play two spinners without a doubt. It’s not only Mitch that’s had a tough fortnight, there’s other players who haven’t had the performances and results they wanted. It was three Tests ago that Mitch got a century that helped us win a Test match. Whilst we’re talking about slightly different roles that’s the thing Kane and I have to get our head around for the next match.”Santner was backed by Lyon to have an impact in conditions that are likely to suit him at the SCG.”You don’t write off good players in international cricket. Mitch probably hasn’t had the series that he’s wanted to but he’s a world-class player,” he said. “He’s a brilliant fielder, his bowling’s improving, he’s a great batter as well. You can’t just write off someone who has been under the pump for two games. The SCG will suit Mitch and the way he bowls, we’re expecting him to definitely play and play a massive role in the next week.”Boult fractured his hand while batting in the Boxing Day Test, and is set for four weeks of rehabilitation back home before he is fit to play again. He had also missed the first Test of the series with a side injury.
