حكم قضائي ضد شاب وجه إساءة عنصرية إلى راشفورد

قالت دائرة الادعاء العام البريطانية إن مراهقًا سُجن لمدة ستة أسابيع بتهمة الإساءة العنصرية لللاعب ماركوس راشفورد على تويتر بعد نهائي بطولة أوروبا 2020.

وتعرض راشفورد، رفقة لاعبين آخرين، للإساءة العنصرية عبر مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي بعد خسارة إنجلترا بطولة يورو في الصيف الماضي أمام إيطاليا.

وذكرت صحيفة “إندبندنت” الإنجليزية إنه حُكم على شاب يُدعى جاستن لي برايس، 19 عامًا، بالحبس لمدة ست أسابيع.

وأوضحت أن ذلك الحكم جاء بعد توجيه ذلك الشخص لإساءة عنصرية فجة لـ راشفورد، عبر تويتر.

اعترف برايس سابقًا بتهمة واحدة تتعلق بإرسال رسالة مسيئة بشكل صارخ من قبل شبكة اتصالات عامة في جلسة استماع في محكمة ورسيستر الابتدائية في 17 مارس.

,قالت المحكمة إنه حاول في البداية التحايل على الأمر عن طريق تغيير اسم الحساب الشخصي على تويتر، بعد الإبلاغ عن التغريدة المسيئة.

ثم نفى المراهق الجريمة في أول مقابلة له مع الشرطة بعد اعتقاله، لكنه اعترف لاحقًا بنشر تغريدة عندما استجوبه الضباط للمرة الثانية.

وقال مارك جونسون، كبير المدعين العام في المحكمة: “استهدف الشاب لاعب كرة قدم بناءً على لون بشرته وكان تصرفه عنصريًا بشكل واضح وجريمة كراهية”.

وأضاف: “”أولئك الذين يسيئون عنصريًا للاعبي كرة القدم يفسدون اللعبة للجميع، آمل أن ترسل هذه القضية رسالة مفادها أننا لن نتسامح مع العنصرية وأن الجناة سيحاكمون إلى أقصى حد يسمح به القانون”.

Bancado por Ceni, Cícero chega ao São Paulo como artilheiro do elenco

MatériaMais Notícias

Apresentado nesta segunda-feira em Bradenton, nos Estados Unidos, Cícero chegou com moral ao São Paulo. Não é à toa. Além de ter sido contratado a pedido do técnico Rogério Ceni, o volante de 33 anos conhece bem o clube. Mais do que muitos dos novos companheiros. Basta lembrar que ele marcou 16 gols na primeira passagem, número que o coloca como maior goleador do grupo atual.

Cícero passou pelo São Paulo entre 2011 e 2012 e disputou 92 jogos para marcar 16 gols. No elenco atual do Tricolor, o que mais se aproxima do volante é o zagueiro Lugano, dono de 13 gols em 201 jogos pelo clube. Atleta de linha há mais tempo no elenco de maneira ininterrupta (desde 2011), Rodrigo Caio marcou dez gols em 200 partidas, mesmo número de tentos do argentino Chavez, que terminou o ano como centroavante.

Rogério Ceni lutou pela contratação de Cícero pela sua capacidade multifuncional. O treinador pretende utilizá-lo como volante, mas também considera que ele pode ser terceiro homem de meio de campo, armador ou mesmo um falso 9. E facilidade para marcar gol também foi levado em conta. Ano passado, Cícero foi o principal artilheiro do Fluminense na temporada, também com 16 gols.

– Meia-armador eu nunca fui. Se precisar que eu faça, eu faço, como todo mundo sabe que eu eu faço outras funções. Mas já faz uns dois anos que venho me firmando como volante, não falo nem segundo volante porque hoje em dia não tem primeiro nem segundo. Mas, vai ser conversado, porque o time tem de ter o encaixe – analisou Cícero, em sua entrevista de apresentação.

Apesar do poder de fogo visto no volante, o São Paulo ainda luta pela contratação de um camisa 9. Após fracassar na negociação com o paraguaio Cristian Colmán, do Nacional (PAR), ainda resta uma esperança pelo argentino Calleri, do West Ham (ING). E nem o xodó da torcida, caso voltasse, bateria Cícero no quesito gols. Jony foi o artilheiro do time na temporada passada com 16 gols, exatamente o número de Cícero. Mas com média muito melhor, já que disputou 31 jogos pelo Tricolor.

Além de Cícero, o São Paulo anunciou a contratação do goleiro Sidão, e dos atacantes Neilton e Wellington Nem. Desses, quem chega com maior cartaz e responsabilidade é o volante. Os números falam por ele.

MP grind Hyderabad into submission

Backed by unbeaten fifties from Harvinder Sodhi and Devendra Bundela, Madhya Pradesh moved serenely to 216/2 on the first day of their Ranji Trophy pre-quarterfinal against Hyderabad at the Daly College Ground in Indore on Saturday

Staff Reporter10-Mar-2001Backed by unbeaten fifties from Harvinder Sodhi and Devendra Bundela, Madhya Pradesh moved serenely to 216/2 on the first day of their Ranji Trophy pre-quarterfinal against Hyderabad at the Daly College Ground in Indore on Saturday.Hyderabad’s bowlers toiled long and hard ever since Madhya Pradesh skipper Chandrakant Pandit won the toss and elected to take first strike. Their first breakthrough came only in the 31st over of the day after Sodhi and 17-year-old Naman Ojha had added 69 for the first wicket. But Sodhi had a slice of luck when he was just two, Daniel Manohar dropping a chance at first slip off NP Singh.Having taken just six wickets in three games in the zonal league, Kanwaljit Singh is having an unusually barren season. The off spinner, celebrating his 43rd birthday next month, finally bowled Ojha for 41. Amay Khurasiya strode out at No.3 and in his typically brisk style rattled off 30 in 42 balls. A moment of indiscretion against off spinner Shivaji Yadav cost Khurasiya his wicket, stumped by wicket keeper M Srinivas.Sodhi (72) and Bundela (52) leisurely proceeded to add an unbroken 110 for the third wicket in 48.1 overs. Kanwaljit shouldered the burden of expectation in the absence of his spinning mate Venkatapathy Raju, finishing with figures of 1/27 from 20 overs. Madhya Pradesh still have plenty of batting to come in Jai Prakash Yadav, who opened the innings in the zonal league, Abbas Ali, Pandit and wicket keeper Ankit Sriwastava who struck a double century against Vidarbha earlier in the season. The immediate future appears to hold out grim tidings for last year’s runner-up.

Rodrigo Caio vê São Paulo unido 'para formar um time competitivo'

MatériaMais Notícias

Com 19 dias de pré-temporada, Rodrigo Caio já vive momento especial em 2017. Além do título da Florida Cup, conquistado com o São Paulo no último sábado em clássico contra o Corinthians, o zagueiro ainda foi convocado para amistoso da Seleção Brasileira contra a Colômbia. O duelo em homenagem à Chapecoense será quarta-feira, às 21h45, no Engenhão.

-Estou muito feliz com este início de ano, porque todo jogador tem objetivos na carreira. Títulos pelo clube e conquistas pessoais sempre são motivação extra, e é assim que pretendo ajudar a equipe. Sem os meus companheiros, principalmente para a minha convocação, isso não existiria. Por isso, estamos unidos para formar um time competitivo – destacou.

Rodrigo fez o primeiro jogo-treino nos Estados Unidos, contra o FC Sarasota, atuando como zagueiro, em esquema com linha de três na defesa. Depois, contra o Boca Ratón, foi centralizado e alternava momentos no meio e na zaga. Na Florida Cup, contra o River Plate (ARG), foi volante o tempo todo, enquanto contra o Corinthians voltou a alternar as funções.

E essa deve ser a rotina do camisa 3 e de outros jogadores sob o comando de Rogério Ceni, que pretende valorizar atletas polivalentes e variações de esquema ao longo da temporada.

-O título da Florida Cup também foi importante para começar bem a temporada coletivamente, de uma maneira vencedora. É assim que queremos encarar 2017. Nossa meta é ter um ano vitorioso e cheio de conquistas – disse.

Everton manager update on Benitez

Many Everton fans have been flocking to respond to a manager update involving Rafa Benitez.

As per The Athletic, the Spaniard is willing to talk to the Goodison Park faithful about them potentially appointing him as their new boss, but his past associations with Liverpool make it difficult for the Merseyside club’s board to hire him.

It seems as if a lot of Toffees are split over whether they think Benítez is the man to lead them forward, as some do not want to hire a coach who used to manage and was so fondly remembered by Liverpool, given that he won the UEFA Champions League with the Reds back in the 2004/05 season (Transfermarkt).

However, the 61-year-old has won numerous other trophies at top clubs in European football, and has a vast amount of experience of managing in the Premier League (Transfermarkt).

Nonetheless, he is currently available at the moment, and it may be an ideal opportunity for the Blues to take advantage of that.

Everton fans on Benitez manager update

These EFC supporters seemed split as they flocked to the manager update on Twitter:

“Rafa would be perfect for us for where we are now. The board members with the problems need to swallow some pride and realise there isn’t a lot of proven premiership quality out there and he is the best one for the job. He’s had time away from them lot and would surely relish it.”

“Rafa is nothing more than a Spanish Allardyce, who has been given money and or inherited a decent squad. Did you not watch his Newcastle teams who by the way Bruce has bettered.. I couldn’t think of a worse appointment”

كلوب يكشف موقف أرنولد وثنائي ليفربول من اللعب أمام واتفورد

كشف المدرب الألماني يورجن كلوب، المدير الفني لنادي ليفربول، موقف ترينت ألكسندر أرنولد ظهير الفريق، والثنائي نابي كيتا وأندرو روبرتسون، من اللعب أمام واتفورد في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ليفربول يستعد مساء غدًا السبت لمواجهة واتفورد، على ملعب “آنفيلد”، وتنطلق المباراة في تمام الساعة الواحدة والنصف ظهرًا بتوقيت القاهرة، ضمن لقاءات الجولة الواحدة والثلاثين من الدوري الإنجليزي.

وقال كلوب في المؤتمر الصحفي الخاص بالمباراة: “أرنولد تدرب بالأمس، لقد خاض جزء من المران، وأعتقد أنه سيكون قادرًا على المشاركة في التدريبات الجماعية اليوم، وعلينا أن نرى ما سنفعله”.

وأضاف: “أعلم ما يُقال في هذا البلد في مثل هذه الأمور، أرنولد أراد الذهاب إلى منتخب إنجلترا، ولكن بعد خضوعه للفحص الطبي من الطبيعي ألا يذهب، ولكن الحمد الله هو بخير، إصابته ليست خطيرة ليغيب لمدة خمسة أو ستة أسابيع؛ أحيانًا يستغرق الأمر أسبوعين وهذا هو الحال مع أرنولد”.

وواصل: “ربما يشارك غدًا، من المُقرر أن يشارك في التدريبات، إنه يقوم بأشياء مكثفة، وهو جسديًا على ما يُرام، أرنولد على ما يُرام، إذا لم يشارك غدًا سيكون قادرًا بالطبع على اللعب ضد بنفيكا في دوري أبطال أوروبا”.

وعن موقف نابي كيتا من اللعب: “بالأمس نابي لم يستطع التدريب، لقد شعر قليلًا بشيء، ولا أعرف بالضبط ما حدث، لم يتواصل معي أحد حتى الآن بشأن هذا الأمر، سأراه في التدريبات”.

وتابع: “لقد تدرب مع الفريق ثم شعر بإصابة، ولم يكن قادرًا على اللعب، لست مُتأكدًا مما إذا كان سيشارك أو يُمكنه المشاركة غدًا”.

وأتم تصريحاته بالحديث عن أندرو روبرتسون قائلًا: “هو بخير وكل شيء على ما يُرام”.

Everton make contact with Antonio Conte

With Carlo Ancelotti no longer at the helm, Everton are unexpectedly searching for a new manager.

A number of coaches have been in the frame but the Toffees haven’t managed to conclude a deal just yet.

What’s the word?

Former Wolves boss Nuno Santo has been in talks with the club over the last two weeks and following a successful interview, he’d emerged as the favourite.

However, with discussions now stalling, Everton are beginning to turn their attentions elsewhere.

In a major update on the situation provided by Football Insider, it looks like they have now made contact with Antonio Conte about the position.

It’s not known at this point whether the Italian has any interest in succeeding Ancelotti but he is one of the candidates that Everton are seemingly talking to.

Bad news for Nuno

If the Toffees hierarchy do have a genuine interest in Conte then it should be bad news for all of the fellow candidates, including Santo.

That’s because the former Inter Milan boss has one of the best CVs in the modern game.

Bill Kenwright wanted to hire David Moyes but after he penned new terms at West Ham, it’s Conte who should be the best viable candidate for the Merseyside outfit.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-everton-manager-and-transfer-news-ancelotti-moshiri-fonseca-howe-moyes” title= “Read the latest Everton manager and transfer news!”]

The 51-year-old recently won Serie A with Inter Milan and has enjoyed enormous success in England previously. His meticulous style and flexibility in terms of tactics really came across as he engineered a Premier league title win and an FA Cup victory.

When Conte first came to Chelsea, he endured a mixed period. They lost to Liverpool and were then battered by Arsenal using 4-2-3-1 and 4-1-4-1 formations.

However, he changed the formation to a three-man defence, a tweak that would eventually see them win the title. It was a turning point for the entire division as a number of sides looked towards a similar defensive shape.

Nuno is well versed with a three-man defence as well but his flexibility isn’t as seamless as Conte’s.

Wolves were promoted with a three-back but once the Portuguese attempted to make them more attacking with a four-man backline, things didn’t go to plan.

Wolves kept just two clean sheets in 14 league matches from October to January as the four-man backline ended up costing the Old Gold.

Conte’s accomplishments speak for themselves but in the words of Pep Guardiola, the 51-year-old is a “tactical master.”

There should only really be one candidate in mind here for Farhad Moshiri and co and if Santo’s stalling opens the door for Everton to hire Conte, then he’ll only have himself to blame if he finds himself not managing in the Premier League next season.

Chapecoense bate Inter de Lages por 2 a 1 e repete resultado de 2016

MatériaMais Notícias

Na primeira partida do Campeonato Catarinense na Arena Condá, Chapecoense recebeu o Inter de Lages. Em jogo rápido e disputado, O time da casa venceu por 2 a 1 e garantiu três pontos na tabela.

O placar foi aberto logo aos cinco minutos. Após contra-ataque de Neném, Rossi partiu com velocidade até a linha de fundo e cruzou para Niltinho, que finalizou a jogada marcando o primeiro gol da Chapecoense. Os dois times estavam pressionando, mantendo um jogo rápido e, com o gol, o Inter de Lages se viu obrigado a fazer marcação pesada, gerando o primeiro cartão amarelo da partida, quando Enercino marcou falta em cima de Neném aos 14 minutos.

Aos 28 minutos, o Inter de Lages começou a pressionar ainda mais e Parrudo chegou a linha de fundo, após carrinho errado de Grolli, fazendo o goleiro Artur realizar a primeira defesa perigosa da partida. Para encerrar o primeiro tempo, Wellington Paulista deixou sua marca na rede. Após passe de Andrei, o atacante bateu no canto direito, não dando chance para Neto impedir o segundo gol do Índio Condá.

No segundo tempo, o Inter de Lages começou a deixar menos espaço para a Chape e Enercino, que estava pressionando desde o primeiro tempo, deixou o dele aos 22 minutos. O camisa 10 do Inter recebeu passe e, de canhota, mandou a bola para o gol do rival, deixando o goleiro Artur sem ter o que fazer.

Aos 71 minutos, a partida foi paralizada para homenagem às vitímas da tragédia (que totalizou 71 pessoas) com o avião que levava a delegação Chapecoense para disputar sua primeira final sul-americana, e toda a torcida presente no estádio cantou: “Vamos, vamos, Chape!”.

Ao final, Sandro Meira Ricci determinou mais quatro minutos de acréscimo. Durante o tempo restante, Enercino cobrou falta perto da área, mas a jogada estava impedida. Aos 48 minutos, Nadson tentou tocar de calcanhar na defesa, mas errou e Rossi frustrou o ataque do Inter de Lages, tirando de bicicleta.

Fim de jogo! Assim como em 2016, a Chape venceu o Inter de Lages por 2 a 1 na estreia do Campeonato Catarinense. Será um bom sinal para o Índio Condá? O próximo confronto da Chapecoense será nesta quarta-feira, contra o Tubarão, no estádio Domingo Gonzales.
