أسامة حسني: الأهلي تعرض للظُلم قبل السوبر المصري.. وأين تكافؤ الفرص؟

أكد أسامة حسني، لاعب النادي الأهلي السابق، أن مسألة تكافؤ الفرص بين الأندية المشاركة في بطولة السوبر المصري تحتاج إلى مراجعة جادة من جانب رابطة الأندية واتحاد الكرة المصري، لضمان العدالة بين الفرق المتنافسة.

وقال حسني في تصريحات عبر برنامج “اللعيب” على قناة MBC مصر: “أود قبل انطلاق بطولة السوبر المصري أن أتحدث عن مبدأ تكافؤ الفرص بين الأندية المشاركة، وضرورة تحقيق العدالة سواء من قبل رابطة الأندية أو اتحاد الكرة المصري”.

وأضاف: “يشارك في البطولة كلٌّ من الأهلي بصفته بطل الدوري، والزمالك بصفته بطل كأس مصر، وسيراميكا كليوباترا بصفته بطل كأس الرابطة، إلى جانب بيراميدز الذي حصل على البطاقة الذهبية للمشاركة”.

وتابع: “الرابطة قررت أن يلعب الزمالك وبيراميدز يوم الأحد في القاهرة الساعة الخامسة مساءً، بينما خاض الأهلي مباراته في الإسكندرية في الساعة الثامنة مساءً، ثم عاد إلى القاهرة استعدادًا للسفر إلى الإمارات”.

واستكمل: “الأهلي سيسافر إلى دبي، ثم ينتقل بالحافلة لمدة ساعتين إلى مدينة العين، وإذا فاز على سيراميكا سيعود ليواجه الزمالك أو بيراميدز في أبوظبي، في حين أن الفريقين الآخرين سيبقيان في راحة هناك”.

وتساءل: “أين مبدأ المساواة بين الأندية؟ الأهلي هو بطل الدوري، ومن المنطقي أن يحصل على تمييز يليق بمكانته كبطل، لا أن يُرهق بهذا الشكل في التنقل بينما تستفيد الأندية الأخرى من الراحة”.

واختتم: “حتى في أسوأ حالاته أو في ظل غيابات عديدة، يبقى الأهلي المرشح الأول لحصد اللقب، أما في مسابقة الدوري فالوضع مختلف، فهي بطولة طويلة المدى تشهد فترات صعود وهبوط، لكن الأهلي دائمًا يعود بقوة، وأنا على يقين بأنه سيتوج بلقب الدوري هذا الموسم في النهاية”.

Vitória aproveita empate entre Avaí x Sport e se isola na liderança da Série B

MatériaMais Notícias

Os resultados da 30ª rodada na noite de sexta-feira (29) não mexeram nas colocações da tabela de classificação da Série B, mas interferiram diretamente na briga pelo título e na luta contra o rebaixamento. Isso porque a diferença entre o líder Vitória, que venceu a Tombense pelo placar mínimo, para o Sport, segundo colocado, aumentou para quatro pontos. O Leão empatou em 2 a 2 com Avaí, na Ressacada.

AVAÍ X SPORT

Os Leões promoveram uma partida eletrizante na noite desta quita-feira (29) na Ressacada, em Santa Catarina, e com gol em tempo recorde: 26,6 segundos. Menos de cinco minutos depois, aos 4′, Peglow colocou o Sport de novo no jogo ao deixar tudo igual no placar. As equipes não diminuíram a intensidade na busca pela vitória e o duelo permaneceu aberto até os 36′ do primeiro tempo, quando o time da casa contou com a infelicidade de Rafael Thyere em desviar contra a própria meta para colocar o Avaí novamente em vantagem.

Os times não conseguiram manter o dinamismo na segunda etapa, mas ainda protagonizaram uma partida interessante de se acompanhar. O Avaí perdeu Filipinho, expulso aos 48 minutos, e o Sport empatou na sequência, aos 50′, no oportunismo do atacante Fabrício Daniel. Com o resultado, as equipes se mantiveram em suas colocações: o Rubro-Negro é o vice-líder, com 54 pontos, e o Leão da Ilha permanece em 16º lugar.

VITÓRIA X TOMBENSE

Assim como ocorreu no primeiro jogo da noite, a diferença entre o líder e o 18º colocado ficou apenas na tabela de classificação. O que se viu em campo foram times bem equiparados – principalmente na etapa inicial – e um confronto aberto, interessante de se acompanhar. O placar só foi inaugurado aos 10 minutos do segundo tempo quando Matheuzinho partiu do meio-campo, fez uma linda jogada individual passando pelos marcadores do Tombense e finalizou no cantinho do gol de Felipe Garcia.

Líder do Brasileirão Série B, com 58 pontos, o Vitória foi recepcionado por um ‘corredor de fogo’ na chegada ao Barradão, em Salvador, na noite desta sexta-feira (29). A festa rubro-negra também tomou conta das arquibancadas durante o jogo. Já a situação da Tombense no torneio é delicada. A equipe permaneceu na 18ª colocação, com apenas 26 pontos somados – 5 a menos em relação ao Avaí, primeiro time fora do Z-4.

Truth behind Rangers manager search as Gerrard odds tumble amid new talks

Rangers have not re-approached Steven Gerrard despite rumours of new rounds of talks taking place in recent days.

It emerged on Saturday night that the former Gers boss had removed himself from the race to become successor to Russell Martin, who was sacked after just 17 games in charge of the Govan club.

However, several bookmakers on Wednesday showed that Gerrard, who won the title with Rangers in 2021, was back among the favourites for the post.

No new talks between Gerrard and Rangers

PA news agency understands that there has been no new talks between the two parties.

Former Rangers defender Kevin Muscat and ex-Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl are two of the front runners for the job.

Muscat, who has reportedly had had talks with the Govan club, has guided Shanghai Port to top spot in the Chinese Super League, two points clear with four games left. Their domestic season ends on November 22.

Speculation abounds that the Govan club are lining up Neil McCann for an interim period in charge until his former Gers team-mate is free to come to Glasgow.

The 52-year-old won a domestic treble with Rangers in 2003 in his only season at Ibrox and as a manager he has won titles in Australia, Japan and China with Melbourne Victory, Yokohama F Marinos and Shanghai Port.

Rohl, 36, reportedly impressed the Rangers hierarchy during talks last week, but rightly or wrongly, may well be considered by scarred and sceptical Gers supporters to be another version of Martin.

Previously an assistant manager at RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and the Germany national team, Rohl had steered Wednesday out of relegation trouble in the Sky Bet Championship in 2023/24.

The German led The Owls to a 12th-place league finish in his only full season as a manager before leaving the troubled Yorkshire club in July.

Other names on the bookmakers’ lists include former Manchester United player and boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Hearts boss Derek McInnes, ex-Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter and former Wolves manager Gary O’Neil.

Rangers return from the international break with a home game against Dundee United on Saturday. The Light Blues are eighth in the table after seven fixtures, 11 points behind leaders Hearts and nine behind Celtic.

Omar Henry set to take over as Cricket Scotland president

The former South Africa cricketer played for Scotland between 1989 and 1992

Omar Henry, the former South Africa cricketer and convener of selectors, is expected to be ratified as president of Cricket Scotland by the organisation’s member clubs on July 30. Henry, who played for Scotland between 1989 and 1992, has accepted a two-year term with the option of extending to a third year in what will be an ambassadorial role to further the aims of Scottish cricket, particularly in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion.”I am honoured to have been nominated as President-Elect of Cricket Scotland,” Henry said in a statement. “It is a privilege to serve the Scottish cricketing community, and I am grateful for the trust placed in me. I look forward to supporting the continued growth and progress of the game across the country.Related

'I wanted to leave' – Omar Henry speaks on 1992 World Cup anguish

“During my term, I aim to champion the development of cricket at all levels — from local clubs to the national stage — and to help foster a game that is inclusive, sustainable, and forward-looking. Engaging directly with clubs, volunteers, and communities will be at the heart of this effort.”I am particularly encouraged by Cricket Scotland’s new four-year strategy, Uniting People and Communities through Cricket. Its focus on inspiring women and girls, promoting equality, achieving sustainable success, and strengthening Cricket Scotland as a governing body reflects a bold and necessary vision for the future. I am committed to supporting its implementation, especially in helping to build a more inclusive and accessible game for all — one where diversity, equality and inclusion are embedded at every level.”To all clubs and members of our cricketing community, thank you for your continued dedication. I look forward to working with you in the months ahead to help bring this shared vision to life and shape a positive future for cricket in Scotland.”Henry, who was South Africa’s first player of colour post-readmission, moved to Scotland in his early 20s to play club cricket and seek opportunities that were not available to him at home. As a non-white player, Henry could not represent South Africa during the Apartheid era. He built a successful career in Scotland. He played 62 games for Scotland, captained them 14 times, and was named in their Hall of Fame in 2018. When South Africa’s sporting sanctions ended post-Apartheid, Henry made his debut for the national team at 40, and played three Tests and three ODIs in 1992 and 1993.He has since gone into administration and worked as the CEO of Boland Cricket and then on South Africa’s national selection panel. In 2021, he gave emotional testimony at the Social Justice and Nation Building (SJN) Hearings about feeling excluded from his own community when he played for a white club in the 1970s, and then again at the 1992 World Cup. His experiences of dealing with racism and speaking out about it have also led to his championing the case for inclusion and his passion for working in development. Henry will spend the next two summers (2025 and 2026) in Scotland and will also occasionally travel with the national teams abroad.

Com golaço de bicicleta, Brasil leva empate no fim diante da Venezuela nas Eliminatórias

O Brasil empatou em 1 a 1 com a Venezuela, nesta quinta-feira (12), na Arena Pantanal, em Cuiabá-MT, pela terceira rodada das Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo de 2026. Depois de abrir o placar com Gabriel Magalhães, os brasileiros sofreram um golaço de bicicleta de Bello, no fim do jogo.

CINCO LANCES QUE MARCARAM O DUELO

> CANETA E PANCADA! O jogo começou com algumas jogadas plásticas do ataque do Brasil, principalmente com Neymar, que deu uma caneta em Herrera e iniciou o embate individual com o venezuelano e seu parceiro Rincón. Aí foi drible de um lado e pancada do outro.

> ABRE O JOGO, DINIZ! Em boa parte do primeiro tempo, Diniz concentrou o jogo no lado esquerdo do ataque com Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Neymar e Arana. Mas o lado direito ficou sem nada, e o jogo pelo meio estava manjado pela Venezuela. Resultado? Ida ao intervalo com 0 a 0 no placar.

> GOL, UFA! Apesar de muitos passes, muitos dribles e muitas tabelas, a abertura do placar para o Brasil saiu em uma cobrança de escanteio. Neymar cobrou para o meio da área e Gabriel Magalhães desviou forte para fazer 1 a 0.

> DE BICICLETA! Quando não mais parecia que a Venezuela iria assustar, Savarino encontrou um cruzamento para Bello, que armou uma bicicleta e acertou o cantinho de Ederson, que nem teve chance de pular. Empate venezuelano.

> BRASIL PEDIU! Depois de inúmeras chances perdidas durante todo o jogo, a Seleção deu margem para levar o merecido empate.

PRIMEIRO TEMPO

Como era esperado, o Brasil dominou a posse de bola na primeira etapa, mas não conseguiu concretizar o volume de jogo em bolas na rede. Concentrada muito do lado esquerdo do ataque, a Seleção até teve um início promissor, mas depois esbarrou na forte marcação venezuelana na entrada da área. E se engana quem pensa que o adversário apenas se defendeu. Com contra-ataques cedidos pelos brasileiros, a Venezuela chegou com perigo algumas vezes, mas também não conseguiu mexer no placar, que foi para o intervalo em 0 a 0.

SEGUNDO TEMPO

O Brasil “achou” o gol na segunda etapa, mas seguia com os mesmos problemas do primeiro tempo. Tanto é que balançou a rede com Gabriel Magalhães, de cabeça, após cobrança de escanteio de Neymar. Dali em diante, porém, uma enorme desorganização, falta de marcação e falta de intensidade brasileira colocaram a Venezuela no jogo, dando campo e chances para empatar. Em uma jogada de Savarino, bola lançada na área e Bello, de bicicleta, anotou o um golaço para igualar o placar merecidamente.

O QUE VEM POR AÍ

Na terça-feira (17), o Brasil enfrenta o Uruguai, em Montevidéu, às 21h (de Brasília), pela quarta rodada das Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo de 2026. Já a Venezuela recebe o Chile, também na terça (17), às 18h (de Brasília).

Liverpool now ready to break the bank to sign Brighton star; he could solve major issue

Liverpool are now reportedly ready to spend over £100m to sign Brighton & Hove Albion’s Yankuba Minteh in an attempt to solve one of Arne Slot’s glaring problems.

Winless in four Premier League games, Liverpool’s title defence has turned into an unexpected nightmare. Slot’s side have looked out on their feet even when clawing victories at the start of the campaign. For the first time in the Dutchman’s time at Anfield, he is under increasing pressure.

Defeat at Brentford was particularly damning. The Red were bullied in West London and a squad built on a £400m+ spending spree were silenced by some old faces in a stark reminder that money doesn’t always equal success.

Alas, what should concern those at Anfield the most is Slot’s recent admission that he’s yet to find a solution to the physical style that sides are implementing against Liverpool. In the era of Premier League football, the champions have simply been unable to compete, with Arsenal epitomising the change taking place in England’s top flight.

Former Anfield star Jamie Carragher recently echoed those struggles, saying: “Losing four games in a row for Brentford would be a disaster. To see the champions do it with the expenditure in the summer means we’re in crisis time for Liverpool right now.

“There will be a lot of serious questions asked in the dressing room between the players and the coaching staff and the people above the manager. When they’ve looked at what they’ve spent, they’ll be looking for a lot more.”

The solution may not even come internally for Liverpool either, who are ready to break the bank for Minteh in an attempt to at least fix one problem.

Why Liverpool are ready to break the bank for Minteh

According to FootAfrica, Liverpool are now ready to spend over £100m to sign Minteh from Brighton in 2026. The winger has enjoyed an impressive season so far and with the Reds looking to inject the directness that they lost when selling Luis Diaz in the summer, he has emerged as an ideal option.

Although the goals are yet to come for Minteh, his take-on success is something to take note of when compared to Salah. The Egyptian, in one of his worst starts to a Liverpool season, has completed just two take-ons. Minteh, meanwhile, is already on 23 and still isn’t close to Diaz’s 36 for Bayern Munich.

Simply put, the Reds have not replaced Diaz’s direct ability with the ball which progresses play and maintains possession. Take that away and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s ability to progress play with his passing range and Liverpool’s struggles begin to make sense.

This Liverpool mainstay has flattered to deceive this season.

Described as “exciting” by scout Jacek Kulig, Minteh represents the type of player that Michael Edwards built his reputation on signing and should do so once again in 2026.

شوبير: كفى مظلومية في الزمالك والسير بمبدأ "ضربني وبكى وسبقني واشتكى"

أكد الإعلامي أحمد شوبير، إن تكرار الحديث عن المظلومية داخل نادي الزمالك أصبح أمرًا غير مفيد، مشيرًا إلى أن الحل الحقيقي يتمثل في مواجهة الأخطاء والعمل على تصحيحها بدلًا من تبريرها أو تعليقها على الظروف الخارجية.

وقال شوبير في تصريحات عبر برنامجه الإذاعي صباح اليوم الثلاثاء: “كفى حديثًا عن أن هذا ضربني وبكى وسبقني واشتكى، قصة المظلومية هذه يجب أن تنتهي، فقد أصبحت غير لطيفة وغير مفيدة”.

وتابع: “أنا أحب الرجل الذي يأتي ويقول: الزمالك حُرم من كذا لأسباب كذا، أو تعرض لظلم في موقف معين — شكرًا جزيلًا، هذه وجهة نظر محترمة — ثم يأتي الطرف الآخر ويعرض وجهة نظره أيضًا، لكن أن نستمر في زرع فكرة أن النادي مظلوم دائمًا فهذا أمر غير صحي”.

وأضاف: “لا يصح أن نُرجع كل شيء إلى فكرة المظلومية، وأن نقول في كأس السعودية حدث كذا، وفي كأس الإمارات حصل كذا، وفي كأس الطائرة كان كذا، ما هذا؟! إلى أين وصلنا؟ أنا لا أريد أن أسمع مبررات جديدة كل مرة، بل أريد حلولًا حقيقية، كفانا الدخول في قصص جانبية ومواضيع متكررة لا تفيد النادي في شيء”.

وواصل: “من الأفضل أن يواجه الزمالك نفسه بأخطائه ومشكلاته، حتى في الحالات التي قد يكون فيها قد تعرّض لظلم فعلاً، تعال إلى الحقيقة، تعال نناقش ونحلّ الأمور بشكل عملي، وسأكون أول من يدعم ويساعد، لكن ما يحدث الآن لا يخدم النادي ولا جماهيره”.

واختتم: “في النهاية، الطرف الوحيد الذي يستحق التحية في كل هذه الأزمات هو جماهير نادي الزمالك، التي تظل ثابتة ومخلصة لفريقها رغم كل ما يمرّ به النادي من ظروف صعبة”.

Linde, Brevis and debutant Hermann star as SA beat Zimbabwe in tri-series opener

Raza’s fifty went in vain for Zimbabwe, who lost their sixth successive T20I against SA

It’s just not getting any easier for Zimbabwe. After suffering two heavy defeats to South Africa in the Tests, they opened their T20I triangular series, which also includes New Zealand, with a loss. It was Zimbabwe’s sixth successive T20I defeat to South Africa, against whom they are yet to register a win after two other games between the sides produced no results.South Africa, playing in their first T20I this year – and first under Shukri Conrad since he was named all-format coach – will be pleased with their early outing. Chasing 142, they wobbled at 38 for 3, but debutant Rubin Hermann top-scored with 45, and shared in a 72-run fourth-wicket stand with Dewald Brevis, who contributed 41 off just 17 balls. Corbin Bosch finished things off with an unbeaten 23 off 15 deliveries.The Hermann-Brevis partnership will make headlines, but South Africa will be equally satisfied with their bowlers – in particular with the return of Lungi Ngidi. After missing their last seven T20I matches, Ngidi came back with impressive accuracy, and finished with 1 for 15 from four overs. Overall, George Linde (3 for 10) was the standout with the lowest economy (3.33) and most wickets.South Africa’s victorious chase, completed inside 16 overs, overshadowed Sikandar Raza’s 15th T20I fifty, and his first against South Africa. Raza also went past Craig Ervine as Zimbabwe’s most capped T20I captain, with 39 matches. His knock lifted Zimbabwe from 39 for 2 to a total over 140, though they needed far more to be competitive.Sikandar Raza hit his 15th T20I fifty•Zimbabwe Cricket

Zimbabwe equal best start against SAIt may hardly sound like much, but Zimbabwe’s 34 runs in the first six overs was their joint-highest in a T20I against South Africa, and better, in wicket terms, than the 34 for 2 they had got in 2018. With only Wessly Madhevere dismissed – and he has only got past 20 once in his last 11 innings – Zimbabwe would have felt they hadd built a solid base, especially with the way Brian Bennett was playing.His first boundary came when he flayed Ngidi through a vacant slip area, his second when he upper cut Burger to deep third, and his third and fourth off glorious drives over and through the covers off Bosch. What Bennett lacked was a partner as industrious as Zimbabwe’s scoring rate of under six an over needed a massive boost.Raza, Burl provide the runsAt 53 for 2 at the halfway stage, Zimbabwe were going nowhere, but Raza and Ryan Burl gave their innings some urgency. The pair ran well between the wickets, with Burl providing the early aggression. He took advantage of the only bad ball Ngidi bowled, down leg, to help its way for four, and then made Nqakaba Peter pay for poor length. The short ball was swung over fine leg, and the full one hit over long-on for the innings’ first six.Raza began the final onslaught when he picked up a slower ball from Andile Simelane, and hit it back over his head for six. He was dropped on 33 by Brevis at deep cover, and then slammed Simelane for six more in an over that cost 19. The partnership between Raza and Burl was worth 66 from 38 balls when Burl holed out to long-off to give Nandre Burger, on comeback after ten months, his first wicket. Zimbabwe scored 88 runs in the last ten overs to stage a decent fightback.File photo: Richard Ngarava is now Zimbabwe’s highest wicket-taker in T20Is•AP Photo/Eranga Jayawardena

Left-arm spinner Linde makes his caseIt is always going to be difficult for Linde to get past Keshav Maharaj in the South Africa side. But if they ever consider twin left-arm spin, Linde has done his bit to be the other half. Against Zimbabwe on Monday, Linde was brought on immediately after the powerplay, and bowled a tight first over. He then had Bennet out in his second over, and was tasked with the last over. where he took two wickets in two balls.Tashinga Musekiwa tried to force Linde over mid-off but was caught, before Tony Muyonga was caught off a low full toss. Linde almost had a hat-trick, before finishing with figures three wickets. However, there will be questions over why he did not bowl his full quota of overs.Ngarava roars backRichard Ngarava hurt his back during Zimbabwe’s Test in England, and missed the Tests against South Africa. But he showed why he is so crucial to Zimbabwe’s side with an explosive opening spell. Ngarava’s first legitimate ball stuck in the turf, and Lhuan-dre Pretorius toe-ended it back to him for a simple return catch.In his next over, a similar delivery took Reeza Hendricks’ inside edge as he drove loosely, and went on to rock middle stump. South Africa were 17 for 2 in the third over, and Ngarava had given Zimbabwe a solid chance. With Hendricks’ wicket, Ngarava went past Raza as Zimbabwe’s leading wicket-taker in T20Is, with 82 to his name. Ngarava returned to bowl the 15th over, and added to the tally by getting rid of Hermann with a delivery that kept low and skidded on to take out off stump.Hermann’s hat-trick of fours, and Brevis goes bigHermann announced himself by scoring his first international runs with a six when he stepped inside the line to send Ngarava over fine leg. He very nearly didn’t add to his score when he popped Blessing Muzarabani to cover point, but the ball fell safe. Then Hermann took control of the chase when he thumped back-to-back-to-back fours off Wellington Masakadza to bring the required run rate down to under seven an over.Hermann played the sweep, and showed his power-hitting and ability to use his feet in the three fours he struck. Not to be outdone, Brevis, who only had five runs in his previous two T20Is, then went one better. Two overs after Hermann’s blitz, Brevis sent Burl down the ground three times for a hat-trick of sixes. Burl was guilty of going too short, and Brevis was happy to make room and swing away. He took 24 runs off Burl’s opening over, which cost 25, and effectively ended the contest.South Africa were 103 for 3 after 11 overs, and needed 39 runs from the next nine overs to win. Eventually, they got those runs in less than five overs.
