Chelsea decide to sign £100k-per-week forward with clause triggered

BlueCo have now decided to make one “special” ace a Chelsea player next season, with the club already triggering a clause in his contract.

Chelsea set for tough Champions League run as race heats up

Just four points separate seventh from third in the Premier League table, so Enzo Maresca’s side are involved in a tense battle to qualify for Europe’s most prestigious competition alongside Aston Villa, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Man City.

Chelsea hold internal talks over re-signing star who Mourinho sold for £17m

The ‘special one’ elected to part company.

Chelsea scraped the west London derby bragging rights at Fulham by the skin of their teeth on Easter Sunday, courtesy of a dramatic 93rd-minute strike from Pedro Neto, and their remaining fixtures are far from straight forward.

After hosting David Moyes’ rejuvenated Everton on Saturday, Chelsea face off against Liverpool, Newcastle and Man United in the space of a fortnight – with these crucial clashes set to make or break Maresca’s first season in charge as they also try to win the Europa Conference League.

Speaking to Premier League productions this week, pundit Alan Shearer sent a warning to Chelsea, claiming Maresca, without doubt, has the hardest run of games out of any Champions League qualification contending side.

“Looking at the fixtures, there’s no doubt in my mind that Chelsea have the toughest run-in,” said Shearer (via The Mirror).

“The league might be done for Liverpool. Obviously, Newcastle is a huge one. And that last game against Nottingham Forest, they could be playing for everything, who gets a Champions League place. So that for me is the toughest run-in.”

This set of fixtures has also been tipped to serve as an audition for £100,000-per-week winger Jadon Sancho, who is currently at Stamford Bridge on loan with an obligation to buy from Man United.

While Sancho’s stay is obligatory on paper, reports in the last few months have claimed that Chelsea can cancel the move by paying a penalty fee of £5 million.

Sancho is said to have already agreed terms on a permanent Chelsea move, but it appears the club do have an option not to make his stay indefinite.

Chelsea decide to keep Jadon Sancho after clause triggered

The £25 million obligation is dependent on Maresca’s side finishing above 15th, which is now mathematically guaranteed, and the clause has been triggered as a result.

That is according to CaughtOffside, who also share an update on Chelsea’s stance about using the £5 million fee to get out of buying the 25-year-old.

Jadon Sancho for Chelsea

The outlet claims that Chelsea have decided to keep Sancho at Stamford Bridge next season, and have no plans to pay the penalty, as his form has improved in recent weeks and those within the club view him as a “smart investment”.

Blues insiders also think the £25 million will prove great value for money, and if they do decide to sell the Englishman in future, Sancho could end up being worth more than that.

Chelsea are “happy” to pay the full amount for Sancho, following Maresca’s claim that the ex-Borussia Dortmund starlet is a “special” player.

“As I’ve said before, for sure he is going to help us. We really believe that he is a special player,” said Maresca about Sancho.

“But the only way for him to confirm that is by working hard every day and never be happy and always be ambitious.”

Stats: Nawaz smashes fastest T20I hundred for Pakistan

Pakistan chased down 205 in just 16 overs – another record

Sampath Bandarupalli21-Mar-202516 Overs Pakistan needed to chase down 205 against New Zealand in the third T20I in Auckland. It was the earliest any team completed a 200-plus chase in T20Is. The previous fastest was in 17.4 overs by South Africa, who chased down 206 against West Indies in the opening game of the 2007 T20 World Cup.2 This was Pakistan’s second-highest successful chase in T20Is. The 208 they chased against West Indies in 2021 in Karachi remains their highest.4 This was the fourth time New Zealand failed to defend 200 or more in T20Is. Three of those games were played at Eden Park.ESPNcricinfo Ltd44 Balls Hasan Nawaz took to bring up his hundred, the fastest for Pakistan in T20Is. The previous record was 49 balls by Babar Azam against South Africa in 2021.4 Batters, including Nawaz, who followed up successive ducks with a century in men’s T20Is. Rilee Rossouw (100 vs India in 2022), Rohit Sharma (121* vs Afghanistan in 2024) and Sanju Samson (109* vs South Africa in 2024) are the other three. Nawaz is the only one to start his career with two ducks and score a hundred in the third game.7 Sixes hit by Nawaz, the joint-most by a Pakistan batter in T20Is alongside Mohammad Rizwan, who also hit seven against South Africa in 2021.12 Sixes hit by Pakistan in their innings, their joint-second-most in a T20I, behind 15 against Ireland in 2024.ESPNcricinfo Ltd75 for 1 Pakistan’s powerplay score on Friday, their highest in this phase, bettering the 73 against England in 2016. After ten overs,Pakistan were 124 for 1, 15 runs more than their previous best at that stage.Pakistan reached 100 in 8.1 overs, 150 in 12.2, and 200 in 15.5 – all fastest for them. They also equalled their fastest team fifty in the format, in four overs. Their previous fastest team hundred came in nine overs against New Zealand last year, while their quickest 150 was in 13.5 overs against South Africa in 2013. The fastest 200 was in 17.5 overs against South Africa in 2021.3 Instances of a team successfully chasing down 200 or more with nine or more wickets in hand. All three are by Pakistan. They previously chased down 204 against South Africa in 2021 for the loss of one wicket, and secured a ten-wicket win against England in 2022 while chasing 200.84 Runs scored by Pakistan between deep third and fine leg, making most of Eden Park’s short boundaries behind the wicket. These are by far the most a team has scored in that region in a T20I (where ESPNcricinfo has data). The most before Friday was 70 by Australia, also at this very ground during their 244 chase against New Zealand in 2018.

Dhoni and CSK recreate old Chepauk magic

by n8rngtd.top Uncategorized

A crowd of about 35,000 got to watch a massive opening stand, wickets from the CSK spinners, and, of course, the good old Dhoni show

Deivarayan Muthu04-Apr-20234:36

‘Dhoni rises to the occasion for his fans’

Shivam Dube has just launched wristspinner Ravi Bishnoi for back-to-back sixes over wide long-on in the 14th over. A crowd of about 35,000 at Chepauk screams: (Hey, Dube get out). A similar chant rang around at Chepauk earlier this week during the intra-squad practice game that was thrown open to the public, who thronged the ground just to watch MS Dhoni smash sixes.Once Dube got out during that practice game, the Chennai crowd got what it wanted. But in Chennai Super Kings’ first home game in four years, they fear that they might not get to see their bat. When Moeen Ali belts Avesh Khan for a triptych of fours next over and when Ben Stokes smokes the fast bowler over mid-off for another four, the crowd becomes even more restless.Super Kings are 203 for 5 after the 19th over. Mark Wood has Ravindra Jadeja skying a pull and even before Bishnoi settles under it, the roof is blown off Chepauk. The DJ plays from Kamal Haasan’s recent blockbuster movie . Over the past four years, Chennai has had to live with only memories of Dhoni. Now, it finally gets to see Dhoni in the flesh.Related

  • Dhoni: No-balls and wides are hurting CSK 'really bad'

  • Gaikwad, Conway and Moeen give CSK a happy homecoming

And Dhoni gives the Chepauk fans what they want. Wood, England’s speed demon, hits 149kph and hides the ball away from Dhoni’s reach. It finishes a set of stumps outside off, but Dhoni still reaches out and scythes his first ball flat and hard over point for six. He will turn 42 this July, but his hand-eye coordination and his power is incredible. Chepauk goes wild. Wood goes wide of the crease next ball and bangs a bouncer into Dhoni’s arm pit. He swiftly swivels on the back foot and hooks one of the fastest bowlers in the world into the top tier over square leg for a bigger six. Chepauk loses it once again.Shaik Rasheed, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad, who have all never seen Dhoni do this at Chepauk before, are up on their feet, clapping in almost disbelief. But for the Chepauk faithful, this was old magic, even though Dhoni holed out next ball.

A post shared by ESPNcricinfo (@espncricinfo)

The entire evening was about Super Kings recreating the old magic on their grand homecoming.It had all started with Gaikwad and Conway providing a throwback to M Vijay-Michael Hussey during their 110-run opening partnership. Much like Vijay back in the day, Gaikwad lined up the offspinner (K Gowtham in this case) and pumped him for three sixes in one over. After the powerplay, Conway took Hussey-esque trips down the pitch and took calculated risks against both spin and pace.Of course, there was a spin choke later in the evening, but it was a slightly unfamiliar one in a high-scoring fixture. The pitch on Monday wasn’t a turner, but Moeen and Mitchell Santner extracted enough turn and denied the Lucknow Super Giants batters easy access to the shorter boundary on one side. After being on 79 for 0 inside the powerplay, Super Giants fell to 130 for 5, thanks to Moeen and Santner.The crowd knows that Super Kings’ spinners have got this. But the presence of Nicholas Pooran at No. 6 for Super Giants prompts Dhoni to hold Jadeja back. However, with Deepak Chahar and Stokes leaking runs, Dhoni brings Jadeja into the attack for the 15th over. Pooran immediately smashes the left-arm fingerspinner out of the attack with two imposing sixes.Pooran’s hits hush the Chepauk crowd, but they soon find their voice once again when Tushar Deshpande has Pooran holing out in the 16th over and follows it up with a boundary-less 18th over.Super Giants need 37 of 12 balls. Super Kings are still waiting for the arrival of their death bowlers Sisanda Magala and Maheesh Theekshana after finishing their national duties. Hangargekar had conceded 6, 4, 4 to Pooran in his first over, but Dhoni backs an unheralded Indian seamer to do the job for him under pressure. The likes of Mohit Sharma and Sudeep Tyagi used to do the dirty job for him back in the day.3:13

Moody praises Moeen, Santner on their smart use of Chepauk dimensions

Having stacked the off-side field with his best fielders – Jadeja, Gaikwad, Santner and Stokes – Dhoni asks Hangargekar to bowl wide yorkers and pitch the ball away from the hitting arcs of both Badoni and Gowtham. Hangargekar, who is playing only his second game for Super Kings, marginally misses his line and gives up two wides in the over. But he doesn’t veer away from his plan and concedes just nine runs overall in the penultimate over to all but kill off Super Giants’ chase.The endgame at Chepauk has to feature Dhoni. He ticks that box as well by tracking down a skier from Badoni despite being wrong-footed initially.”[It] does mean a lot to be back here,” Dhoni said at the toss amid deafening cheers. “IPL started in 2008 but we’ve not played a lot of cricket here. Only about five-six seasons we’ve been here. This is the first time the full stadium will be operational, a few stands were empty earlier. Really glad that we get to play all our home games here at Chepauk, means a lot.”It certainly meant a lot to the Super Kings fans too.As the clock ticks past 12am, Dhoni has a reunion with former Super Kings Suresh Raina and Robin Uthappa, who are on commentary for this IPL, capping a memorable return to Chepauk.

PSL postponement: Operational fiasco casts doubt on organisers' positions

PCB’s over-reliance on testing and mistakes in key moments under scrutiny

Osman Samiuddin06-Mar-2021The PCB is scrambling to find a window to reschedule the curtailed sixth season of the PSL, with June in Karachi as one option. June is not usually part of Pakistan’s home season (though they did host the 2008 Asia Cup then) and windows in May and September have been talked about, but in a busy year for international cricket, space is at a premium.The board is keen to host it in Karachi, and though the UAE has been mentioned as a potential host, the fear is that if they do go that way, it would squander all the groundwork done in convincing international teams to play in Pakistan.Whenever and wherever the season is completed, the planning and implementation of a biosecure bubble will almost definitely be outsourced to a specialist firm. That will be a tacit acknowledgment by the board of the failures of this season – the board’s head doctor and the man in charge of those protocols Dr Sohail Saleem has on Saturday offered to resign – which was called off on Thursday after a spate of Covid-19 positive tests among players and staff.The outsourcing will be a key factor as they try to move ahead, even as the dust is far from settled on the events of the last week, the impact of which one senior Pakistan international has privately compared to the terror attacks on the Sri Lankan team in 2009.Related

Non-playing PSL franchise member left bubble despite testing Covid-19 positive

Whether it becomes as seismic as that remains to be seen, but there is clear concern within the board that it could hit both the PSL and potential touring sides later in the year.Franchises and boards, meanwhile, are still sifting through the wreckage, the former beginning to detail their experiences inside the bubble and its loopholes.Though not alone, scrutiny will be on two-time winners Islamabad United, where in Fawad Ahmed, the first positive test after the tournament began was recorded. Three other players from the franchise have tested positive since. The franchise – and the PCB – has already had to defend itself over protocols followed during a social media shoot.In communication that is expected to be sent to the PCB, the franchise reveals that despite complaining of feeling unwell after the evening game on Saturday, February 27, Ahmed wasn’t given a Covid test until the following evening, at 9pm, despite repeated requests. The franchise claims when Ahmed initially consulted the PCB doctor, informing him of a stomach pains, he was told it didn’t fit Covid symptoms. The doctor was unable to see him the next morning because of another unrelated medical incident.Though Ahmed was put into immediate isolation, it isn’t clear whether the rest of the squad, as close contacts, went into isolation – and if they did, for how long. There are conflicting reports on this, but both the PCB and Islamabad tweeted only that Ahmed had been put in isolation when they eventually made his result public and that other members had all since tested negative.The question of isolation becomes especially significant in light of a birthday party held for Azhar Mahmood, fast-bowling coach with the Multan Sultans, on the same evening as Ahmed complained of feeling unwell. Hasan Ali, Ahmed’s team-mate, attended that party (in the same hotel) as well as a number of other players from other franchises.

Ostensibly, that party didn’t breach protocols because it was only attended by people already within the bubble – as Islamabad reiterated in the same thread. And it is also unknown whether Ali was aware at the time that Ahmed was unwell, or that he had been put in isolation. But as a close contact of a player who did test positive, he was now in a room with a number of other players and officials – some of whom, like Babar Azam, would go on to play a game the next day.It is the response to this first positive case – and during the build-up to it when Ahmed was unwell – that are likely to bear most focus. In particular, questions will be asked as to why it took so long for Ahmed to be tested after his initial complaint; and why, once it was confirmed he was positive and on the basis of Ali’s appearance at the party, the attendees of that party were not asked to isolate or take any kind of precautions.The responsibility of who was supposed to have conducted that kind of track and trace has slipped through the cracks between league management and franchise management: both have suggested to ESPNcricinfo the other should have been responsible but it is clear that there was no communication to those at the party.Fawad Ahmed’s positive test left the league at a critical juncture•Getty ImagesIn retrospect, the decision on Monday (the day Ahmed’s positive test was made public) to simply reschedule Islamabad’s match for the following day, rather than locking down the league for a few days there and then, seems a fatal moment.In fact, in one franchise’s breakdown of that day, communicated to the PCB, they describe a state of panic among players as the match was initially delayed and then postponed. Some international players, in that account, called for the league to be shut down for three days.The PCB’s rationale for going ahead was that all players involved in the game had cleared at least two tests since Ahmed’s positive test – one rapid test and then a PCR test for all franchises. Given what is widely known about the incubation period of the virus this seems misplaced – and to some extent borne out by the fact of Ali emerging as one of the positive tests the day the league was called off. He had been at the party only a few nights previous and had even played a game in that time.Testing, in fact, appears to have been the central – and at times, it has felt, only – plank in the PCB’s coping with the effects of the pandemic on cricket. That was evident in the Peshawar Zalmi incident at the start of this PSL when, on the basis of two negative tests in 48 hours, Wahab Riaz and Daren Sammy were allowed to reintegrate into the squad despite breaches of protocol.Towards the end of last year, the board highlighted that it had conducted nearly 3000 tests across the domestic season. But the fragility of measures alongside it – such as biosecure bubbles and protocols – was evident in, for example, the number of players turning up with positive results in New Zealand; more relevantly, it was evident in the number of cases that emerged from the playoffs of the PSL’s fifth season, played last November.Franchises are expected to highlight a number of complaints about what went on in the Karachi hotel bubble over the next few days: from quarantine periods being considered too short at three days, to daily glitches like elevators not being secured for those inside the bubble alone, to questions about the cutlery being used to serve those in the bubble, or whether the hotel’s kitchen and service staff were all part of the bubble and even to how the exit of players was handled. Once again, the PCB has relied on tests cleared to let people leave the hotel and travel back, overlooking the fact that the virus can incubate for several days before it shows up in a test, or through symptoms.What is emerging is a picture of an operational fiasco above all, where the SOPs (standard operating procedures) and protocols in place were not sufficiently secure and where the implementation of them was worse. Pressure will build for heads to roll – Dr Sohail Saleem looks set to be the first, but is unlikely to be the last.

ألونسو: لن أرد على جوارديولا.. وهذا ما أعجبني في رودريجو

by h79snht.top Uncategorized

تحدث تشابي ألونسو، المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ريال مدريد عن خسارة فريقه أمام مانشستر سيتي ضمن منافسات دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وخسر ريال مدريد أمام مانشستر سيتي بثنائية مقابل هدف في المباراة التي جمعتهما أمس، الأربعاء، ضمن منافسات الجولة السادسة من مرحلة الدوري لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وقال ألونسو، في تصريحات عبر صحيفة “آس”: “لا أحد منا يلوم نفسه، لقد حاولنا حتى النهاية، بدأنا بشكل جيد وتقدمنا ​​في النتيجة لكن في بعض الأحيان تكون الانتكاسة مؤلمة أكثر وهذا ما حدث”.

وأكمل: “في غضون عشر دقائق، من ركلة ركنية وركلة جزاء، تقدموا في النتيجة، في وقت كانت فيه المباراة قوية وتنافسية لكننا استقبلنا هدفًا، لم نسيطر على تلك المواقف جيدًا ثم حاول الفريق مرة أخرى، سواء كان ذلك جيدًا أم سيئًا، فقد حاولنا حتى النهاية وأتيحت لنا فرص لكننا افتقرنا إلى اللمسة الأخيرة لتسجيل هدف، ليس لدي ما ألوم أي شخص عليه”.

وأضاف: “عندما تكون في موقف حرج ليس فقط من حيث أدائنا بل أيضًا بالنظر إلى المباراة السابقة والإصابات التي نعاني منها حاليًا، تشعر بأنك أقل تماسكًا وهذا ما سمح لهم بالعودة بسرعة كبيرة”.

وتابع: “في مثل هذه المباريات، عليك ألا تستقبل الكثير من الأهداف وقد فعلنا لكن ذلك لم يكن كافيًا لهم، قلبوا النتيجة لصالحهم، كانت لا تزال لديك فرصًا للتسجيل، بعضها في الشوط الثاني لكننا لم نستغلها”.

وأتبع: “صافرات استهجان جماهير برنابيو؟ مررنا بلحظات كثيرة، بعضها كان تشجيعًا ودعمًا حتى النهاية، لقد بذلنا قصارى جهدنا ومن الواضح أننا غير راضين عن أدائنا الحالي لكن ليس لدي أي لوم على اللاعبين، ولا ألوم الجماهير أبدًا فهم شاهدوا الكثير ويعرفون الكثير عن هذا الأمر”.

وحول الجدل التحكيمي، استطرد: ” في الهدف الأول، منعوا كورتوا قليلًا، حسنًا هذه لقطات أفسرها بشكل مختلف من وجهة نظري، الحكم رآها كذلك، وكان قراره حاسمًا، لا أعرف لم أتمكن من مشاهدتها مرة أخرى”.

وعن عناق رودريجو له بعد تسجيل الهدف: “أنا سعيد جدًا لأجله لأنه كان يمر بفترة صعبة ولم يكن يلعب كثيرًا واليوم كان رودريجو رائعًا، لعب بشكل ممتاز، وكان له تأثير كبير على مجريات المباراة وسجل ذلك الهدف وهو أمر في غاية الأهمية بالنسبة له، من أفضل الأشياء التي حدثت اليوم أننا رأيناه يلعب وظهر جيدًا للغاية ثم هناك دعم الجماهير والفريق، كل هذا موجود ومعًا سنقلب الأمور رأسًا على عقب، أنا ممتن لذلك”.

واسترسل: “أكثر ما أعجبني هو أداء رودريجو، رؤيته بتلك الجودة الفردية وتلك القدرة على المراوغة، بالإضافة إلى الهدف، كان أمرًا إيجابيًا للغاية”.

وعن حالة مبابي: “من المبكر جدًا معرفة ما إذا كان سيكون متاحًا لمباراة الأحد، من الواضح أنه لم يتمكن من اللعب اليوم، افتقدناه اليوم كثيرًا رغم أننا أتيحت لنا فرص كافية لتسجيل هدف ثاني لكنها لم تدخل المرمى”.

وبسؤاله حول تواصل فلورنتينو بيريز، رئيس ريال مدريد معه أجاب ألونسو: “لا لم نلتقي”.

حول ما قاله بيب جوارديولا عنه في المؤتمر الصحفي قبل المباراة، أوضح: “نحن نعرف بعضنا البعض جيدًا وهو يعلم جيدًا ما كان يقوله ولا داعي للتعليق على تصريحاته”.

وأتم: “قلق حول مستقبلي؟ أركز على المباراة القادمة، الأهم هنا هو ريال مدريد، الأمر يتعلق بالفريق واللاعبين وكيف يمكنني مساعدتهم، الأمر لا يتعلق بي أبدًا”.

Nick Browne, Essex’s former opening batter, has taken his first step into a post-playing career by joining the club’s women’s set-up as assistant coach and batting lead.Browne, 34, announced his retirement at the end of the 2025 County Championship season, having amassed nearly 10,000 runs across all formats, including 22 centuries and a best of 255 against Derbyshire in 2016.His appointment follows that of Stephen Parry, the former left-arm spinner, who was last week announced as Essex Women’s new head coach, following the departure of Andy Tennant earlier this year. Cath Dalton, the club’s former academy coach, has also been named as seam-bowling lead to complete the squad’s overhaul, after a disappointing maiden season as a Tier 1 women’s team last year.Browne said: “I am really enthusiastic at this new challenge and chapter. I spent some time with Essex Women during the summer and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so to be offered the role full-time is really exciting.”Following my retirement at the end of the season, I was determined to get into coaching and share some of the knowledge I have gained over the years.”To be given this role by the club is extremely fortunate and I want to thank everyone involved in trusting me as I embark on the next stage of my career.”The group we have here is very talented and I hope that I can help deliver success for the Essex Women in the short and long term.”Chris Silverwood, Essex’s director of cricket, said: “Nick was the perfect fit to take on the role as Essex Women’s assistant coach and batting lead and we are really happy that he has agreed terms to his new role at the club.”Throughout his playing career Nick displayed a tremendous amount of professionalism and dedication to his game and Essex Cricket. His professionalism, calm leadership, and deep understanding of the game makes him a more than ideal mentor for our Women’s team.”Nick will offer the ability to develop players both technically and mentally and I have every confidence that his influence, alongside Stephen Parry, will elevate our group of Essex Women cricketers and inspire them to reach new heights.”

O dirigente do Timão deixou no ar uma possível falta de ética de Lucas Veríssimo e seu empresário, Paulo Pitombeira, durante as negociações. O zagueiro tinha em mãos o contrato do clube paulista para permanecer em definitivo, mas acabou não assinando o vínculo.

– Pode ser que erramos ao não esperar ter assinado o contrato, mas a nossa relação com o Benfica é tão boa, temos um crédito lá, estava certo. Eles propuseram o valor e nós aceitamos. Deu um problema em uma cláusula, voltou, arrumamos e faltava o atleta assinar, só que enrolaram dez dias – disse Augusto na zona mista.

– Tentamos consertar um contrato da gestão passada. Se quiser, o atleta vem com passe estipulado. Corinthians não vem mais como trampolim. Ele ficou enrolando para assinar.

How much PSG could sell Vitinha for as Liverpool eye move ahead of Arsenal

by rastrear-estafeta.com Uncategorized

Liverpool are reportedly continuing to eye a move for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha, in what could be a stunning piece of transfer business.

The 25-year-old has matured into one of the best midfielders in the world currently, proving to be a key figure in PSG’s Champions League triumph last season and being hailed by former Portugal international Pedro Miguel Pauleta.

“It’s a huge pleasure to watch players of this quality. Is he the best midfielder in the world? He’s at a huge level, like Pedri at Barca. They remind me of Iniesta. Vitinha, he doesn’t lose the ball, he’s always well positioned. He knows how to do everything with the ball. He doesn’t make a mistake and doesn’t miss a pass. He has the confidence of his club. He’s a phenomenon.”

Vitinha has been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent days, with one report even claiming that they are willing to table a monster £132m offer for him.

He is contracted with PSG until the summer of 2029, so big money will clearly be needed to prise him away, and a new claim has now emerged regarding the Reds’ interest in him.

How much PSG could sell Vitinha for amid Liverpool interest

According to Caught Offside, Liverpool are “keeping a close eye” on Vitinha ahead of a potential move, with Reds scouts identifying him as “one of the most technically gifted midfielders in Europe”. Arsenal and Juventus are also in the mix.

The report adds that the Portugal star “fits the kind of profile that Liverpool have sought since the departure of Thiago”, in terms of his quality in tight areas and ability to dictate midfield battles. It is stated that an offer of around £115m could tempt PSG into selling – £18m cheaper than the above claim.

The idea of Liverpool signing Vitinha is a mouthwatering prospect, considering his status as a world-class footballer who is coming into the prime years of his career.

While the Reds are well-stocked in the middle of the park currently, the form of Alexis Mac Allister is a concern this season, with the Argentine looking jaded after playing so much football in recent years.

Granted, he is still only 26, so this is hopefully just a dip in form after injury problems, but he has also been linked with a move to Real Madrid and may need to be replaced at some point.

Either way, Liverpool should never pass up the opportunity to sign a player of Vitinha’s calibre, and the fact that he has some Premier League experience from his time at Wolves can only be a good thing.

Cameron Green hopes that his vital half-century on the third day in Grenada can kick-start his career as a Test No. 3 having battled conditions where he admitted batters were often left “praying” that they weren’t undone by the unpredictable bounce.Having survived the second evening against a fired-up Jayden Seales, Green navigated a ball that was still new on the third morning, largely alongside the faultless Steven Smith in a stand of 93 that provided a cornerstone for Australia’s innings.After an early rain interruption, Green saw a delivery from Anderson Phillip shoot low past his off stump, beat wicketkeeper Shai Hope and run away for four byes. “Praying…that’s all you can really do,” he said. “You just try and forget about it as much as possible.”Related

Green was able to keep his focus and compile a 122-ball half-century that was brought up with a crunching straight drive, only to under edge his next delivery into the stumps and he tossed his bat to the ground in frustration.Still, this was Green’s most substantial contribution yet since being handed the No.3 role against South Africa in the World Test Championship final last month. It was a much-needed encouraging sign at a time when Australia’s top three remains under significant scrutiny.”You always need innings here and there just to get you back and get you going, hopefully today was certainly one of those,” he said. “A lot of good things I can get out of just spending time in the middle. I think the ball’s faced has been trending up. The runs haven’t been there, but there’s certainly little positives I can take out of it.”Hopefully my output can be a little bit better than it has been, but today was a nice sign that things are hopefully trending well.”Green, who fell four balls after being given a life in the first innings, added he does not take notice of what is being said about his game outside of the changing room, but he isn’t blind to the expectations of an Australia top-order batter.”You all know when you’re playing that there’s runs that need to be made certainly when you’re batting up the order for Australia,” he said. “It’s a tough game, so being able to bounce back from tough times is equally as important.”Unsurprisingly, it was a surface where Green never felt fully ‘in’ given a ball was rarely far away from playing a few tricks although he admitted it may not always have looked that way when Smith was on strike.”Certainly, last night was tricky [and then] with the new ball today you had to start again and there were a few ball changes, so I never really felt at any point it looked that good,” he said. “You’d probably ask a different question to Steve. I think he was batting on a different wicket. He’s clearly a class above and that’s a tough wicket, so to play as well as he did was incredible.”Cameron Green dropped his bat in frustration after being bowled by Shamar Joseph•AFP/Getty Images

Smith was so alert to the challenges of the pitch that after facing an early delivery from Phillip which kept low, he altered his trigger movement to stay stiller at the crease.”This innings, I decided to bat on middle to stay a bit more still [to] try and negate lbw as much as possible with the ball shooting a little bit low,” Smith told the broadcast after play. “Try and use my full face as much as possible. I thought I did that pretty well. Then anything loose, just try and cash in on it. You’ve got to try and put the bad balls away to put the pressure back on the bowler. It was a nice partnership with Greeny. I thought he played really nicely and sort of set us up for the rest of the innings.”Smith termed Australia as being in a “nice spot” with a lead of 254 and three wickets in hand heading into the fourth day although added a target over 300 would be the aim.”I don’t think the wicket is going to get any better to bat,” he said. “They’ll probably be a few more tricks, particularly with the newer ball. I think we saw today when they had that ball change, it started to do a few more things, and it was tricky. I think the new ball is going to be pretty crucial for us when we get that opportunity.”West Indies believe the chase remains within their grasp although allrounder Justin Greaves, who claimed the wickets of Smith and Beau Webster, said they need to take some lessons from how Australia’s middle-order has played.”The new ball does pretty much everything,” he said. “As soon as the ball gets a bit softer, it gets a bit easier for batting. Whatever score we can limit Australia to, possibly under 300, we’ve got to try and believe we can get it.”We just need to be positive when we go to bat. Probably taking some notes from both Travis Head and Beau Webster throughout the series…just having that positive mindset.”
