تحدث أبيل فيريرا، المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي بالميراس البرازيلي، عن مباراة فريقه أمام الأهلي ضمن منافسات كأس العالم للأندية 2025.
ويواجه النادي الأهلي نظيره بالميراس مساء اليوم الخميس، في تمام الساعة السابعة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة ومكة المكرمة، ضمن منافسات الجولة الثانية من بطولة كأس العالم للأندية 2025.
المباراة الأولى للنادي الأهلي كانت أمام إنتر ميامي في افتتاح البطولة وانتهت بالتعادل السلبي 0/0، فيما واجه بالميراس نظيره بورتو البرتغالي وانتهى اللقاء بنفس النتيجة.
وكشف فيريرا، مدرب بالميراس عن كيفية استعداده للنادي الأهلي وقال: “نحن مستعدون، لكل مباراة قصة مختلفة، وفرصة أخرى للقتال من أجل أهدافنا، والفوز بالمباراة، والوصول إلى الدور التالي”.

وأكمل: “سنحاول القيام بذلك من اللحظة الأولى إلى الأخيرة، سنستعيد توازننا ونجري تعديلات طفيفة، ونضع بعض اللمسات الخاصة في الأمور التكتيكية، ونلعب بأسلوبنا المعتاد”.
وعن مشاركة البرازيلي باولينيو أمام الأهلي أضاف: “لا أستطيع إشراك باولينيو لأكثر من 30 دقيقة، وهذا كل شيء، لن أتحدث عن هذا بعد الآن، عندما يشارك، يساعد الفريق كثيرًا، وعندما أتمكن من إشراكه لمدة 30 دقيقة، سنعتمد عليه، والأمر متروك لي لاختيار متى أشركه”.
وتابع: “بلا شك هو لاعب قادر على مساعدتنا لفترة أطول، لكن للأسف، بما أنه ليس جاهزًا تمامًا، فهذا ليس خبرًا جديدًا، سنستغل الوقت المتاح لنا، وفقًا لاحتياجات الفريق”.
وأتم: “قد يظن البعض أنني غبي، لا أكرر التشكيلة كثيرًا، لأني أعتقد أنه يجب عليّ ذلك، لأفاجئ الخصم بتفاصيل صغيرة، غالبًا ما أغير اللاعبين لأفكر في الجوانب الهجومية والدفاعية، نحن لا نلعب دائمًا ضد نفس الخصم”.
Newcastle United rounded off their up-and-down March in the Premier League with a slim 1-0 away win at West Ham United, with the month properly finished off now with an EFL Cup final at Wembley versus Liverpool.
The Magpies could well have downed their tools to focus solely on that shot at silverware, but Eddie Howe’s Toon were professional when coming up against Graham Potter’s hosts, with this narrow victory on their travels leaving them just two points shy of the top four in the division.
Bruno Guimaraes was the difference-maker between the two sides at the London Stadium, as the Brazilian’s strike early into the second half clinched all three points, continuing his fine season in the middle of the park.
Bruno Guimaraes' performance in numbers
The Newcastle captain will hope he can have a similar starring role against Arne Slot’s Reds, with the standout Toon number 39 putting in a sterling overall performance against the Hammers.
Not only did Guimaraes score the winner but he ended up winning four duels as a tough battler, on top of tallying up one key pass.
His main moment in the spotlight came about when he connected with a fine Harvey Barnes delivery to hand his side a slender win.
Barnes’ cross – which was hailed as “top quality” by Howe post-match – was just waiting to be put away, with the Brazilian now up to 11 goal contributions this season in all competitions off the back of this winning effort.
He could well have another memorable moment to come at Wembley, but whilst the 27-year-old did put in another stellar effort in the heart of midfield, one of his teammates arguably put in an even better individual display to ensure he remains in Howe’s XI this coming Sunday.

The 8/10 Newcastle star who is now undroppable
Whilst Anthony Gordon will miss the showdown with Liverpool owing to a suspension, it is very unlikely that Sandro Tonali will be sitting out this chance at silverware based on his showing against West Ham.
The Italian actually bettered Guimaraes when it comes to the number of duels won over the course of the 90 minutes.
The ex-AC Milan man finishing the clash having won a hefty nine duels, with journalist Josh Bunting noting how the 24-year-old was “dominating” the middle areas.

Tonali also tallied up four tackles as a combative presence alongside Guimaraes, all whilst also showing off his ability to burst forward confidently with 100% of his dribbles on the night completed.
Chronicle Live journalist Lee Ryder would, therefore, hand out a high 8/10 rating to the Magpies number eight after the game, highlighting all of the “crunch” tackles he put in to ensure his team were victorious on the road.
Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota against Sandro Tonali
Howe will hope Tonali can be this dogged and brave on the big stage at Wembley, with Liverpool stunted somewhat if their central midfielders aren’t allowed to work their full magic.
Guimaraes stated after the determined Premier League win that his team can beat anyone when they’re at their best, with that mentality very much put to the test in the one-off EFL Cup final to come.
If Tonali and his Brazilian counterpart can perform to the levels they managed on Monday night, a rare trophy might be heading to Tyneside, as the Toon faithful descending on Wembley pray for another top day out in the capital.

Sussex have signed Nathan McAndrew as an overseas player for the 2023 season.McAndrew, the 29-year-old Australian pace-bowling allrounder, will be available from April until July to play in the LV= Insurance County Championship and T20 Vitality Blast.He will be reunited with Paul Farbrace, the Sussex head coach who signed up McAndrew while sporting director at Warwickshire, where he made seven Championship appearances, taking 20 wickets at 37.85 and scoring 278 runs at 34.75, including two fifties.”I can’t wait to get to England to play with Sussex,” McAndrew said. “I thoroughly enjoyed my time in county cricket last year and I am looking forward to taking the next step in my career playing red- and white-ball cricket this season. I look forward to teaming back up with Paul Farbrace and contributing to Sussex’s success.”Related

McAndrew featured for Sydney Thunder during his eighth BBL season, taking 13 wickets in the group stages to help them qualify for the play-offs. He delivered career-best T20 bowling figures of 4 for 32 against Brisbane Heat, three of those wickets coming in the final over to save the game for his side.Sussex bowling coach James Kirtley said: “Nathan is more than a capable batter, but it will be his bowling that will excite us. In T20 cricket he regularly bowls the pressure overs which takes courage and skill. For our T20 team to know we have someone who can be relied upon in these situations is very comforting.”In four-day cricket he runs in all day. His experience in England last year will pay dividends as his performances got better and better. It shows he can adapt and is willing to learn and coupled with a bowling engine, I am sure Nathan will be successful at Sussex.”McAndrew joins some high-profile overseas players at the club, which has re-signed India’s Cheteshwar Pujara for a second season and recently confirmed that Australia star Steven Smith would play three Championship matches in May ahead of the Ashes. Pakistan allrounder Shadab Khan will also be available for Sussex’s Blast campaign.Sussex won just one Championship match last year, finishing above only Leicestershire on the Division Two table, and they ended up seventh in the Blast’s nine-team South Group.
Chapman is in the frame for the World Cup, says Stead, while Guptill could well be in the fray, too, if Williamson doesn’t make it

Kane Williamson’s knee is still in a brace as he undergoes rehab after a surgery•BCCI
Kane Williamson could still travel to India for the ODI World Cup later this year, with the team management open to roping in the injured batter as a mentor for the tournament. At the same time, New Zealand head coach Gary Stead has refused to rule Williamson out of the World Cup as a player just yet.After suffering a ruptured Anterior Cruciate Ligament in his right knee in the opening game of IPL 2023, Williamson returned home from India on crutches and subsequently underwent surgery, which was deemed a success. Williamson’s knee is still in a brace as he undergoes rehab.”Look, it’s still far too early to know,” Stead said ahead of the five-match ODI series in Pakistan. “He’s had the operation and, to date, what we know, that’s been successful. So he is in the very, very early stages of his rehab programme.Related

How Williamson takes the power away from the big moments
“It’s obviously pretty non-weight-bearing at this stage, and he’s in a brace. So, it’s really just meeting milestones as we go. Our line around Kane, at the moment, is still it’s unlikely that he will be available, but we certainly don’t want to rule out a person of his class and calibre, and the things he brings to this team, too early in case there is that chance still.”Yeah, absolutely [would take him to India as a mentor].”The ODI World Cup is likely to start on October 5 and end on November 19, with 12 Indian cities shortlisted as venues for the tournament, but the official itinerary is yet to be released. Usually, the ICC announces World Cup schedules at least a year in advance, but this time it has also been waiting for the BCCI to get the necessary clearances from the Indian government. The wait for the schedule has somewhat disrupted New Zealand’s long-term planning.”It [schedule] is not out yet, so there’s not much we can do about that,” Stead said. “So it does keep our options reasonably open without knowing the venues and who we are playing at different venues.”So, it does make it pretty difficult to finalise plans right now. But that again just gives players opportunities, that are within the squad now, to come out here [in Pakistan] and play for New Zealand.”Mark Chapman and James Neesham stunned Pakistan with their century stand in the final T20I•Associated Press
Mark Chapman is in the World Cup frameIn the absence of Williamson and a number of first-choice New Zealand players, Mark Chapman emerged from the fringes and hit an unbeaten 104 off 57 balls, helping his team gun down 194 to square the T20I series 2-2 in Rawalpindi. Chapman was then added to New Zealand’s ODI squad and is also in the frame for the ODI World Cup, according to Stead.Chapman has played just five ODIs for New Zealand since he made his debut for them in the format in 2018.However, he is a fine player of spin, which in a lot of ways is to do with him playing more in Asian and subcontinental conditions during his formative years with Hong Kong.”The [T20I] series result itself was fantastic for the team, if you consider the number of players that are at the IPL” Stead said. “And we were playing a full-strength Pakistan team – a team that made the T20 [World Cup] final. So, to get a two-all result against them and play the way we did, especially in the last T20 game, was fantastic.”The Mark Chapman-James Neesham partnership was really, really significant. Obviously, it wasn’t the best of starts with the bat, but the composure the two of them showed in that situation was brilliant. It was not just one knock about Mark Chapman why he was added to the ODI squad, but there is a lot of competition for places and it’s not so much about the competition, but it’s how we keep building towards the World Cup. And Mark Chapman is one guy who is in our thoughts around that.”Martin Guptill was the top scorer for Quetta Gladiators in the recent PSL•PCB
Is there a way back for Martin Guptill?Martin Guptill has given up his NZC contract and is now a free agent, but Mike Hesson, the former New Zealand coach who is currently with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL, believes Guptill could be another candidate to slot into Williamson’s place in the ODI team because of his experience. Guptill was in action in PSL 2023, where he was the top scorer for Quetta Gladiators with 310 runs in nine innings at an average of 38.75 and strike rate of just over 150.”I think World Cups do require experience and I think Martin Guptill is one of those guys that has always turned up at World Cups,” Hesson said on recently during a chat with Logan van Beek. “I think he would be very much in their thinking and the ability for [Devon] Conway to either stay at the top or bat at No. 3 depending on which other player stands up and says: ‘Look, I must be included’.”I don’t think the World Cup is a time where you want too many new faces. You want to intersperse the talented youngsters amongst some experience. Missing Kane… that diminishes that experience significantly. So, that’s where Martin Guptill comes back into the mix. He has obviously performed well in some T20 tournaments around the world recently and in particular the PSL.”
رفع كيليان مبابي دعوى قضائية ضد ناديه السابق باريس سان جيرمان، بتهمة التحرش المعنوي ومحاولة الابتزاز، ما دفع القضاء الفرنسي إلى فتح تحقيق رسمي في الواقعة.
وبحسب مكتب الادعاء في باريس، تم فتح تحقيق ضد مجهولين بعد شكوى مبابي التي قدمها يوم 16 مايو 2025، والتي تستند إلى أحداث صيف 2023 حين استُبعد من تدريبات الفريق الأول بنادي باريس سان جيرمان.
الشكوى تذكر أن مبابي أُجبر على التدرب بشكل منفصل عن الفريق، ضمن مجموعة من اللاعبين الذين لا يدخلون ضمن خطط الإدارة الفنية، وذلك بعد إعلانه عدم تجديد عقده مع النادي الفرنسي.

Chelsea added another two players to their growing collection of sparkling young talent when they officially confirmed the signings of Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo this week.
Both players are poised to join from Sporting at the start of the summer transfer window, although Quenda will return to the Portuguese side to spend next season on loan with his boyhood club.
Essugo, on the other hand, is reportedly viewed as a ‘ball-winner’ who can provide depth for Enzo Maresca next term, as per this report by Sky Sports News.
The Chelsea head coach has a plethora of young talent at his disposal ahead of the 2025/26 campaign and it will be interesting to see which ones will make the step up.
The Chelsea youngsters who could break through next season
Essugo is one of those players who could have an eye on making the first-team, as he has made 17 appearances in LaLiga on loan at Las Palmas in the current campaign.
Tyrique George, who has come up through the academy system, has now played 17 times for the senior side and registered four assists this season.
The 19-year-old sensation, who has one assist in five Premier League outings, may look to use his experience this term to push on and secure a regular spot in Maresca’s side next year.
Andrey Santos, who is currently on loan at Strasbourg in Ligue 1, is another player who could make a breakthrough, having averaged 4.3 tackles and interceptions per game across 24 starts this season.
Another player who could make an impact at Stamford Bridge next season is Brazil international Estevao Willian, who can finally join the club this summer.
Chelsea have the world's second-best wonderkid on their hands
The Brazilian forward turns 18 in April and this means that he can officially make the move to England in the summer transfer window, ready to push for a place in Maresca’s team next term.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
Estevao, who was described as a “phenomenon” by his agent Andre Cury, was recently named in GOAL’s NXGN top 50 wonderkids in football in 2025 list.
He ranked second on the list, only behind Lamine Yamal, and was above the likes of Endrick, Pau Cubarsi, and Warren Zaire-Emery, among others, which suggests that the Blues have the second-best wonderkid in the world on their hands.
GOAL.com's 10 best wonderkids in world football.
Yamal has already won the European Championship and LaLiga, whilst racking up 20 goals and 24 assists for Barcelona, before the age of 18, which illustrates what a generational talent he is.
Estevao, who was described as a “future Ballon d’Or winner” by data analyst Ben Mattinson, has been capped four times by Brazil and produced 20 goals and ten assists in 59 matches for Palmeiras to date.

As you can see in the table above, the future Chelsea star produced regular quality as both a scorer and a creator of goals in the Brazilian top-flight in the 2024 campaign as a right-sided winger, cutting in on his left-foot.
These statistics show that the potential is there for him to arrive at Stamford Bridge in the summer as a player who can make an instant impact, despite the fact that he will have only just turned 18, because the young gem is already shining at first-team level.

Tottenham Hotspur chiefs are continuing to conduct their due-diligence on potential replacements for Ange Postecoglou with the tactician’s future in serious doubt, and chairman Daniel Levy has more interesting names on his shortlist beyond rumoured top target Andoni Iraola.
Tottenham identify Andoni Iraola as leading manager candidate
According to credible reports recently, Postecoglou’s long-term future is now in “serious doubt”, following a dismal 2024/2025 campaign for Spurs.

The Lilywhites sit 14th in the Premier League table and have lost a disastrous 15 matches in the top flight, grim numbers for a ‘big six’ side, and while their plethora of injuries have played a major role in this, criticism has still surrounded Postecoglou.
“When you’ve had your best team available to you and you’ve lost at home to Ipswich, your best team’s been available to you,” said talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan.

“When you had your best team available, you’ve been 2-0 up against Brighton, you’ve lost. When you’ve had your best team available to you away at Selhurst Park to Crystal Palace, who at the time were stinking the place out, you lose.
“You don’t get those passes. I think you get some of them. So I think that Ange has to be accountable for some of the poor performances.”
Postecoglou made the best-ever start to a Premier League season by any new manager in the competition’s history last season, but the 59-year-old has suffered a serious crash back down to earth after what was a promising debut campaign in the Spurs dugout.
So much so, that Tottenham are reportedly considering a new manager to replace Postecoglou.
It is widely reported that Bournemouth’s Iraola is Tottenham’s leading managerial candidate, with Rayo Vallecano’s former boss having guided the Cherries to a very impressive campaign.
The south coast side are undergoing a damp patch of form right now, losing three out of their last four league games, but they remain surprise contenders to seal European qualification despite suffering their fair share of injury problems.
This has impressed Spurs enough for them to make the 42-year-old their top target to succeed Postecoglou, as per The Athletic and other sources. However, the same outlet reports that Levy has alternative options.
Tottenham eyeing Brentford boss Thomas Frank as Andoni Iraola alternative
Indeed, it is believed that fellow top-flight boss Thomas Frank is among the other names in their thinking.
The Dane is out of contract in 2027 and previous reports have suggested that Frank is expected to pursue a new challenge at the end of the season, following seven successful years as Brentford’s head coach.
Brentford managerThomasFrankbefore the matc
In that time, the 51-year-old has transformed Brentford from a Championship side to solid Premier League mainstays, and there is still an outside chance they qualify for Europe themselves this term.
The Athletic claims Tottenham are considering a move for Frank alongside Iraola, so this could be one to watch this summer. Man City boss Pep Guardiola, commenting on Frank last year, also called him “one of the best” coaches around.
“They are an extraordinary team,” said the City manager.
“What they do always makes sense. Every corner is a headache. They are compact. This season, they have a high press. Thomas is one of the best.”
