Somerset remain well on course for a third successive Bob Willis Trophy victory despite rain holding up their advance against Warwickshire on the second day at Edgbaston.On a murky day in Birmingham, rain wiped out the first session completely and interfered with the second and third so that 55 overs were lost from the day, but Somerset dodged the showers to take their first innings to 214 for 6 – a lead of 93.Steven Davies led the way with an assertive unbeaten 56 from 85 balls, including ten fours, to give his side a significant advantage and fully capitalise upon the skills shown by their bowlers in dismissing the home side for 121 on the first day.Somerset resumed after an early lunch on 80 for 2 and did not add to their overnight score before James Hildreth, having hewn just a single from 43 minutes of toil, pulled Tim Bresnan to Alex Thomson at mid-wicket.Olly Hannon-Dalby held the Warwickshire bowling together in familiarly big-hearted fashion. The Yorkshireman collected his third wicket of the innings when former Bears academy player Tom Banton was adjudged lbw, somewhat harshly as the ball appeared to be heading down leg-side.Tom Abell, with 41, then fell to Craig Miles when he feathered a leg-side catch to wicketkeeper Michael Burgess. That left Somerset on 130 for 5, just nine ahead, but Davies and Craig Overton added 61 runs in 15 overs.The latter was pinned lbw by Bresnan for 25, but Lewis Gregory offered Davies further support in an unbroken stand of 23 before bad light and drizzle closed in for the final time.

da aviator aposta： Os amigosFábio Fiorini, Luan Prudente e Fernando Teles explicaram de onde saiu a ideia da tatuagem.
-Quando o Crespo foi apresentado e falou a frase “donde no llegan las pernas va a llegar el corazón”, eu já pensei: “Se ele tirar a gente da fila, vou tatuar”. Acho que nós três tínhamos a ideia na cabeça e, em um dos jogos que assistimos, comentamos sobre isso e abraçamos a ideia da tatuagem – disse Fernando, ao ‘ge.globo’.
-Os desenhos dos dedos apontados para o céu, são a forma que o Luan comemora os gols dele e os dois “hang loose’s” é como o Luciano comemora seus gols. Então, quisemos colocar a forma como eles comemoram, ao invés do nome, pois o jogador sai, mas o jeito da comemoração fica. Por isso, optamos por colocar as formas de comemoração, ao invés do nome – explicou Fábio.
O terceiro amigo, Luan Prudente, afirmou que é cedo para pensar em uma nova tatuagem, mas cita outras duas competições que poderiam render uma tatoo: a Libertadores e a Copa do Brasil, que nunca foi vencida pelo Tricolor.
-A gente assiste aos jogos e vamos conversando, conforme for passando as fases, vamos alinhando as tatuagens. Estamos querendo esperar uma classificação na Copa do Brasil, mais adiante, ou a Libertadores quando estiver mais próximo da final – disse Luan Prudente.
da brdice： Manchester United’s FA Cup journey so far has been magical, which is entirely down to their dramatic victory over Liverpool in the quarter-final.
da cassino online： Erik ten Hag’s side sent Old Trafford into chaos on the 17th of March as they beat their arch-rivals 4-3 in extra time.
Ask any United fan, and that will undoubtedly be their highlight of the drab season so far, and many believe they will already have a foot in the final, with Coventry City the semi-final opponent.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at which FA Cup hero must start at Wembley this afternoon, even over Alejandro Garnacho.
Why Alejandro Garnacho must drop out of the side
There’s no two ways about it: Garnacho has been absolutely fantastic this season, and to think he’s just 19 years old is mind-blowing.
In the Premier League, the Argentine has scored seven goals and provided three assists, but his 30-game streak in the starting lineup could come to an end today.
Unfortunately, last weekend against Bournemouth, the number 17 arguably had his worst performance in a United shirt to date, with the Manchester Evening News handing him a 3/10 rating.
Garnacho was unfortunately at fault for the Cherries opener after taking a heavy touch in the middle of the park, and at half-time he was substituted for his potential replacement today.
Amad Diallo should start vs Coventry
This season, Amad Diallo was supposed to feature rather heavily for the Red Devils after his impressive 13-goal Championship campaign for Sunderland last season.
However, an injury in pre-season kept him out until the end of December, missing a huge 27 games in the process after evading any setbacks last season.
This means that the Ivorian winger has only played five games across all competitions this campaign, with all of those appearances coming from the bench.
Yet, he’s certainly had an impact on the side, scoring the winning goal against Jurgen Klopp’s side in the 120th minute with a wonderfully composed finish into the bottom corner.

That said, even without the goal, Diallo was absolutely fantastic off the bench, adding intensity to the side from both an in-possession and out-of-possession perspective.
The former Atalanta wonderkid displayed his confidence and understanding of the game instantly, having a 100% pass accuracy, completing one of his two dribbles, and taking 19 touches.
But it was his desire to make a difference that was admirable, often tracking back to stop counterattacks and putting his body on the line for his team, as shown by his tackles and duels won.
This will be vital against Coventry on Sunday, as, in theory, the only way the Championship side gets any joy is on the break, which is when United have struggled anyway this season.
Manchester United winger Amad Diallo
Overall, the star with a “magical left foot,” as per football scout Jacek Kulig, may have just earned his right to start the game today, and he would most definitely relish any opportunity to shine.

Likely to meet with NSW’s Lee Germon this week to work through questions raised about last week’s offer
Daniel Brettig21-Jul-2020Freed from uncertainty around the postponement of the T20 World Cup, Cricket Australia’s interim chief executive Nick Hockley is confident of resolving the financial impasse with the governing body’s state association owners that ultimately played a large part in costing predecessor Kevin Roberts his job.While the dissenting associations of New South Wales and Queensland last week rejected CA’s new proposal for pre-emptive cuts to be replaced by quarterly reductions based on any actual revenue shortfalls this summer, Hockley and the CA chairman Earl Eddings have remained in open dialogue with the states, a process that now has more time to play out now the status of the ICC tournament has been made clear.Hockley is believed to be meeting with his NSW counterpart Lee Germon this week to work through the questions raised about last week’s CA offer. The major sticking point is likely to have been that while the replacing of distribution cuts based on forecasts with reductions taking into account actual revenue was welcome to the states, the proposal also raised the level of risk for the states to the same as that being accepted by CA itself – a 25% reduction in grants if CA revenues were 25% down.The previous proposal only saw the states part with 25% of their annual distribution if CA’s revenue as down by 50%. Nevertheless, Hockley said the model proposed last week had not been couched as a fait accompli, discussions had been productive and a “sensible way out” was likely for both parties. “We certainly sought feedback,” Hockley said. “We are having some really constructive discussions and it’s a very different approach.”Previously what was proposed was, if you like, pre-emptive reductions ahead of what had actually happened. Whereas the model we are looking at now is very, very different. It’s a completely transparent model based on what actually does transpire this summer. Whilst we have been lucky that the virus has hit in our off season, there are still a whole range of outcomes. It’s going to be really complicated. What the model we are discussing at the moment is based on actuals and not forecasts.”It’s a flexible model that varies depending on how revenues are actually impacted in the future. On that basis, it’s really the whole of Australian cricket all working together.”Getty Images
Dizzying circumstances for Hockley, in which he took over from Roberts in June and had to deal with the T20 World Cup, preparations for next summer and disputes with the states and the Australian Cricketers Association, provide some mitigating factors in terms of the level of detail he has quickly had to get his head around. “We’ve got a lot more recent financial information. We will take a call on that information. I think there’s some further discussions to be had,” he said.”Certainly there’s a lot of good support from the majority of states and territories. What we’re trying to do is collectively work through the situation in a very transparent manner based on what actually happens and work through it as a team. I don’t think you can compare the previous situation, which was all about crystal-balling with the new model, where we will only take a hit if Australian cricket takes a hit. If we don’t, then in many ways, we would be exceptionally fortunate with our friends in the northern hemisphere but also our friends in the winter codes.”Certainly, there is relief at CA that the T20 World Cup rescheduling means there is one large agenda item that has been dealt with, allowing for greater focus on the states and the coming season.”We were all searching for clarity. When I talk to the team, I do talk about clarity and getting certainty in this environment is not always possible, but certainly being clear about what is certain and what isn’t is very important,” Hockley said. “There’s no doubt as we are working through the plans this summer and the contingency planning, it’s just massively, massively complex. We have been watching closely how the ECB have delivered their international series against West Indies. Everything has evolved in ensuring biosecurity around that.”Equally we are looking at and working very closely with and getting great knowledge sharing with the Australian sports, be it AFL, rugby league, netball, who’ve just moved their competitions. The complexity is not lost on us. What is different for cricket is, whereas some of the winter codes you have a singular league, we’ve got between now and through the summer, an overseas international tour outbound potentially to England. We’re then bringing international teams in, both women’s and men’s, we’ve got two domestic leagues in the WBBL and the BBL.”And then we’ve got all of the additional cricket competitions. Whereas the other sports are focused on a singular league, we’ve got this sort of portfolio of cricket across the different formats. That brings with it its own massive set of complexities.”
استأنف نادي باريس سان جيرمان، على قرار رابطة الدوري الفرنسي بدفع 55 مليون يورو من الديون غير المسددة للاعبه كيليان مبابي.
وغادر مبابي صفوف باريس سان جيرمان في صفقة انتقال حر وانضم إلى ريال مدريد هذا الصيف، بعد 7 سنوات قضاها في النادي الفرنسي.
ويدين باريس سان جيرمان لمبابي بمبلغ يتضمن مكافأة التوقيع، والتي كان من المفترض أن يتلقاها اللاعب في فبراير، بالإضافة إلى آخر ثلاثة أشهر من راتبه.
وبحسب ما أفادت صحيفة “لو موند” الفرنسية، قال باريس سان جيرمان في بيان:”من حيث المبدأ، استأنف باريس سان جيرمان رأي رابطة الدوري الفرنسي، على الرغم من تأثيره المحدود، في الواقع، موقف باريس سان جيرمان هو أكثر بكثير من مجرد موقف قانوني له أساس جيد”.

وفي البداية أوصت اللجنة بالوساطة، لكن مع رفض مبابي، طلبت من باريس سان جيرمان دفع مبلغ 55 مليون يورو خلال أسبوع، أي مساء الجمعة على أبعد تقدير.
وتعود الأزمة بين الطرفين إلى الاتفاق الذي تم التوصل إليه في أغسطس 2023 بين مبابي وإدارة باريس سان جيرمان.
وتم بعد ذلك استبعاد مبابي من الفريق لرفضه تمديد عقده مع باريس سان جيرمان، وكان هذا التمديد سيضمن حصول النادي على الأموال من بيعه، بينما وقع مبابي مجانًا مع ريال مدريد في نهاية الموسم الماضي.
وبموجب هذه الاتفاقية، وافق مبابي على التنازل عن 55 مليون يورو من المكافآت المختلفة إذا رحل مجانًا في نهاية الموسم، لكن صحة هذا الاتفاق، الذي ذكره اللاعب للصحفيين في يناير الماضي، موضع شك من قبل وكلاء اللاعب.
da leao： Last season Erik ten Hag marked his debut campaign in English football with a top-four place and a trophy; Manchester United sealed the Carabao Cup after beating Newcastle United.
da aposte e ganhe： There was much to savour, therefore, about United’s new era but it’s rather petered out during the Dutchman’s second term at Old Trafford.
United have had some great results, notably in the FA Cup where they defeated Liverpool 4-3. With a patched-up backline, their 26th different combination of the season, they then took a point away from their rivals in the league on Sunday afternoon.
Yet, they sit sixth in the Premier League, 11 points behind Villa in fifth and Spurs in fourth. Any hopes of achieving Champions League football for next term would now take a miracle. It’s incredibly unlikely.
United could still win the FA Cup but even then that might not be enough to save Ten Hag’s job. It’s why the club’s new hierarchy, consisting of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, could look elsewhere in the summer.
Managers in the frame to replace Ten Hag
One name linked with the job in recent weeks has been former Chelsea boss Graham Potter with Ratcliffe reportedly a big fan of what the English coach could bring to the table.
However, a more attractive name is Thiago Motta who is on the verge of securing Champions League qualification with Bologna for the first time in their history.
That comes courtesy of reports in Italy, via Sport Witness, who suggest that not only is he on Juventus’ radar this summer, but that United also ‘want’ him to come to English football.
New Juventus manager Thiago Motta
Links to such established clubs are unsurprising. The 41-year-old has lost only six games all season with the Serie A side.
Thiago Motta's 2-7-2 formation
What immediately stands out with Motta is the clear identity with which he prefers his teams to play.
This has been a notable critique of Ten Hag’s time in Manchester with Gary Neville one vocal pundit on the matter.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag before a Premier League game.
Talking on his podcast, he recently said: “Manchester United’s style of play is mad. Some of the things you see out there, you wouldn’t see at schoolboy level. Their structure defensively goes from being in shape and being okay to all of a sudden emptying the whole midfield. Players press on their own without the rest of their teammates going with them.”
Well, that likely wouldn’t be a problem any longer if Motta came to United, with his famous 2-7-2 system gaining plaudits.
Of course, that isn’t the official term but it does help to depict the structure Bologna and indeed PSG U19s have played with when the Italian has been at the helm.
Speaking to Gazetta Dello Sport about his system, the former midfielder once stated: “My idea is to play offensively. Short team that controls the game. High pressure and a lot of movement without the ball.
“The goalkeeper counts as one of the midfield seven. For me, the attacker is the first defender and the goalkeeper is the first attacker. The goalkeeper starts the play with his feet and the attackers are the first to put pressure on the ball.”
The goalkeeper – who in this case would be Andre Onana, typically adept with his feet – would push into the midfield and defensive lines when in possession. It’s important to note that a formation would traditionally be read out with the horizontal system in mind. On this occasion, it’s vertically, like below (credit to Tifo Football).
This might sound rather confusing but it’s a clear style of play and one that’s helped Bologna to fourth spot in Serie A currently, four points behind Juventus.
For this, he has been lauded as “one of the most interesting young coaches in Europe” by scout Jacek Kulig, and a “special” figure by Italian football expert James Horncastle.
Additionally, he’d surely find a way to cure United’s diabolical defensive record.
In the first half against Liverpool, while the Red Devils registered 0 xG, their opponents managed 1.59 xG and this has been a common theme throughout the season.
In their miraculous 1-1 draw with Brentford, the Bees had 31 shots, their most ever in a top-flight game and were remarkably only two touches in the United box away from equalling Man City’s Premier League record of 87.
They have also have the third worst expected goals against (xGA) tally in the entire division, with 61.23. To put that into context, Arsenal’s total stands at just 24.80, the best in the league.

So, how could Motta solve this? Well, the figures tell you everything. His Bologna side sits fourth in Serie A for expected goals against (31.72) and have the third-best record in the division when it comes to conceding goals (25). That’s not bad at all.
This may well be a left-field appointment should it take place but it would be a clever and pragmatic answer to their problems.
The young tactician is achieving things with Bologna that they never thought was possible
The best of social media as cricketers mark the date the English summer was due to start
ESPNcricinfo staff12-Apr-2020Middlesex openers Sam Robson and Nick Gubbins were due to start the season against Worcestershire at Lord’s. Instead, chaos ensued in their front rooms. But Worcestershire’s reply was hardly much better, as Daryl Mitchell copped a rough lbw decision from his daughter. Graham Onions had been hoping to open the bowling to Joe Denly in Lancashire’s scheduled game against Kent, and the two had differing reconstructions of how things might have panned out. Sussex’s Ben Brown trusted the overhead conditions despite a decent covering of grass on the pitch. Essex’s Sam Cook looked rusty after a shortened pre-season. Hassan Azad got up and running for the season. But there was disappointment for both Tammy Beaumont and Ollie Hannon-Dalby. While Dom Bess and Matt Parkinson were left to reflect on life as a young English spinner on early season pitches.
