أعرب النجم الفرنسي ومدرب ريال مدريد السابق، زين الدين زيدان، عن انبهاره بلاعب برشلونة الشاب.
وكان يامال يامال حاضرًا في حدث خاص بالشركة الراعية له، أديداس، وتلقى أسئلة حول النجم الحالي، لامين يامال.
وبحسب “onze mondial” الفرنسية نقلاً عن “فوت ميركاتو”، قال زيدان: “عندما تشاهده يلعب، على سبيل المثال في نصف النهائي ضد إنتر ميلان، في الشوط الثاني، أعني أنني لم أشاهد شيئًا مثله في حياتي”.
وأضاف: “إن رؤية شخص يتقن مجاله بهذه الطريقة في الملعب، أمر رائع للغاية أن نراه بهذه الطريقة”.

سُئل زيدان أيضًا عن تدريب منتخب فرنسا، وبحسب ما نشرت شبكة “ماكسي فوت”، نقلاً عن “فوت ميركاتو”، رد: “وضعت مسيرتي المهنية نوعًا ما في وضع الانتظار، لكنني أشعر تمامًا بأنني مدرب بنسبة 100%”.
كما صرّح زيدان: “بما أنني أشعر أنني أمتلك الشرعية، فقد لعبت مع المنتخب الفرنسي، ولعبت تقريبًا 12 أو 13 أو 14 عامًا، بالطبع، إنها رغبة، إنها رغبة حقيقية”.
وتابع زيدان مبديًا احترامه للمدرب الحالي ديديه ديشامب: “لكن في الوقت الحالي، هناك مدرب في مكانه، وهناك فريق، ويجب احترام كل ذلك، وهذا ما نفعله”.
وأتم: “أنا دائمًا ما احترمت كرة القدم والناس، لذلك، الأمر ليس مناسبًا تمامًا الآن، لكن عندما يحين الوقت، سيكون ذلك بسرور كبير إذا أتيحت الفرصة”.

PCB says his “return to international cricket will be subject to successful completion of rehabilitation programme”

Mumtaz: Afridi’s injury tilted the contest dramatically
Pakistan are facing the prospect of another significant length of time without Shaheen Shah Afridi after he hurt* his right knee again in the men’s T20 World Cup final on Sunday in Melbourne.He has been advised two weeks of rehabilitation after a scan on Monday morning confirmed there were no signs of an injury and the knee discomfort was likely “due to a forced knee flexion whilst landing”. However, it appears unlikely that Afridi will be available for the home Tests against England and New Zealand through December-January; the PCB said his “return to international cricket will be subject to the champion fast bowler’s successful completion of the rehabilitation programme and following go-aheads by the medical staff.”Related

From injury rust to purple patch – Afridi is back
Afridi was, in any case, expected to sit out the England Test series, which starts from December 1 in Rawalpindi. That was part of a planned gradual return to the longer format from the original knee injury – which had kept him for three-and-a-half months – that he had also picked up while fielding during a Test against Sri Lanka in Galle in July.He returned in time for the World Cup, and started Pakistan’s campaign at the marquee tournament slowly, feeling his way back into rhythm. By the time of the final, he appeared to be back to his best, reflected in returns of 4 for 22 against Bangladesh, 3 for 14 against South Africa, 3 and 24 in the semi-final against New Zealand, and 1 for 13 in the final against England until the injury. With 11 wickets, he was Pakistan’s joint-highest wicket-taker in the competition.As with the original injury, this one occurred while he was fielding during the 13th over of England’s chase. On this occasion in the final at the MCG, he ran in from long-off to hold on to a sharp chance from Harry Brook. As he slid low to hold on, he appeared to hurt his knee and was immediately in some pain. He was helped off the field by the team physio and doctor. He returned an over later, ran in gingerly to send down one delivery, but couldn’t carry on.The right knee appeared to buckle as Shaheen Afridi completed the catch to dismiss Harry Brook•PA Photos/Getty Images
His right knee is currently believed to be in a brace. Afridi will fly back home via Dubai with the rest of the Pakistan squad today. Haris Rauf is understood to be in line for a shot at red-ball cricket for the first time as Afridi’s replacement.The PCB’s handling of Afridi’s rehab from the original injury had come under scrutiny and criticism at the time. After he got injured he travelled with the team to the Netherlands for a three-match ODI series in August, in the hope that he would recover while on tour. That didn’t pan out as expected and the PCB eventually announced that he would be out for four to six weeks.Afridi continued to travel with the team to the UAE for the Asia Cup, as another attempt was made to get his rehab going. But medical scans and reports confirmed a posterior cruciate ligament injury and it was eventually decided that he would travel to the UK for further rehab and work with doctors on the PCB medical panel, Zafar Iqbal and Imtiaz Ahmed. He missed the Asia Cup as well as the seven-T20I home series against England in September, before joining up with the squad in Brisbane ahead of the start of the world event.14:23 GMT – *This story has been updated to reflect details from the PCB’s statement
John Turner’s maiden five-for followed by nerveless Toby Albert finale

John Turner’s maiden professional five-wicket haul and Toby Albert’s nerveless unbeaten 65 maintained Hampshire’s 100 per cent Royal London Cup record in a nail-biting victory over Lancashire.South African-born Turner’s five for 25 led an impeccable fast bowling display from Hampshire, with Jack Campbell and Scott Currie removing the rest.In form batter Rob Jones crashed 84 in a 119 partnership with Steven Croft, to take his competition average to 239, as Lancashire scored 183.Liam Hurt’s brutally quick three for 25 made sure Hampshire couldn’t ease to victory but 20-year-old Albert, on the back of a match-winning 84 against Derbyshire, managed to get his side over the line with 10 balls to spare.Related

Hampshire’s eight-wicket victory keeps them top of Group B with a perfect record, with Lancashire now three points adrift with three wins, a washout and this defeat – both will expect to make the knockout stage.On a blistering quick wicket, having been asked to bowl by Keaton Jennings, Campbell and Turner had Lancashire seven for 3 inside five overs.Turner’s first delivery of the match set the tone, with Ben Brown taking the ball at shoulder height a couple of steps in from the 30-yard circle. Jennings couldn’t resist attempting to cut at one though on his return from Lions duty, but the extra bounce found his edge.Luke Wells impatiently skied Campbell and Josh Bohannon was caught behind to a ball which gloriously shaped in.Lancashire still hadn’t scored off a run off the bat at this stage, but Jones pushed and ran to cover before unfurling a square drive to begin a very profitable, and needed fourth-wicket partnership.Jones has been in fine form in the competition with scores of 70 and 85, both without being dismissed. Here he was effortless in reaching a 60-ball fifty, often using the bounce to his advantage.The pair had recovered the situation before Lancashire collapsed again, with the last seven wickets falling for 57 runs. Croft was yorked by Campbell to end the county’s record fourth-wicket stand against Hampshire before George Balderson clothed Turner to midwicket.Currie then opened the floodgates with a triple wicket maiden, taking three wickets in four balls. Jones fell for the first time in this season’s cup when he cut to point, Tom Bailey edged behind first ball before Will Williams defended his first ball but was pinned second. George Lavelle and Liam Hurt were both caught trying to attack Turner to give him his five.Hampshire plodded rather than attacked the target. Ben Brown, promoted to open, was lbw to a Bailey delivery which seamed in, Tom Prest dragged a wide Hurt ball onto his stumps having been bogged down, and Nick Gubbins fell into a perfectly placed short extra cover trap off Balderson.Hurt’s searing pace had Aneurin Donald chopping down and Fletcha Middleton caught behind with a frighteningly quick delivery from his long run-up and low action. Felix Organ also hit onto his own stumps off Bailey and Scott Currie swung two boundaries before he was pinned by Luke Wells.Sixteen-year-old debutant Dom Kelly belied his inexperience with 17 in a 38-run stand with Albert but cut to point with 18 still needed. But Albert reached back-to-back fifties in 64 balls and ticked off the remaining runs with Turner to the backdrop of a raucous crowd, with the winning runs a lofted on-drive for four.
da 888casino: This week represents a new era for Manchester United with new boss Ruben Amorim finally getting his feet under the table and joining the Red Devils.
da pixbet: The 39-year-old will aim to implant his tactics into his new playing squad over the international break ahead of his game in charge against Ipswich Town at Portman Road on the 24th November.
Amorim takes over from Erik ten Hag after the Dutchman was given his marching orders following a 2-1 defeat against West Ham United a couple of weeks ago.
It spelt the end of his 28-month stint in charge at Old Trafford, with his poor start to the new Premier League season ultimately sealing his fate despite financial backing from the hierarchy during the off-season.
It’s likely that Amorim will completely strip back the current tactics, undoubtedly sticking with his 3-4-3 system that saw Sporting CP claim the Liga Portugal title last season, along with a Champions League victory over Manchester City just last week.
However, one player will still remain an integral part of the first team, handing Amorim all the tools to be a success in the years ahead.
Why Bruno will be crucial under Amorim for Man Utd
Midfielder Bruno Fernandes has been the shining light in a disappointing United side for months on end in recent times, often being the man to single-handedly dig the side out of trouble in desperate moments.
He joined the Red Devils in a £68m deal back in January 2020, missing out on playing under Amorim at Sporting by just a couple of months after his appointment in March of the same year.
The 30-year-old has been worth every penny since his big-money transfer, consistently producing the goods in attacking areas throughout his near five years in Manchester.
Since his arrival, Fernandes, who’s now United’s club captain, has registered 83 goals and 73 assists in his 250 appearances – an average of a goal contribution in every 1.6 games he appears in.
Undoubtedly, he will remain a key player under his compatriot, holding all the keys to any potential success in the years ahead for the Red Devils – possibly featuring in numerous different roles.
He could feature as a box-to-box number eight, or even as a wide attacking midfielder behind the striker, but it’s likely he will star in the former, having the ability to dictate the play more in such a role.
The recent form of one other player could force him into that role, with Amorim desperately needing to utilise one player who was often starved of game time under the previous management of Ten Hag.
Chalkboard
Football FanCast's Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
The man who could be better than Bruno under Amorim
Winger Amad Diallo arrived in a shock £36m deal from Italian side Atalanta back in January 2021 after featuring just five times as a professional for the Serie A outfit.
However, the United hierarchy obviously saw huge amounts of talent in the Ivorian to bring him to Manchester – often having to bide his time under Ten Hag.
The 22-year-old enjoyed a stellar loan spell at Sunderland in 2022/23, scoring 14 times in 42 appearances – but it was only enough for a bit part role in the first-team last season.
Amad only made nine league appearances in 2023/24 – totalling just 388 minutes – with Ten Hag often opting for big-money flop Antony rather than handing minutes to the talented youngster. It was a decision that MEN’s Samuel Luckhurst claimed should have left the Ivorian “insulted” with his treatment.
However, this season, he’s already showcased he has all the tools to be a real threat under Amorim, registering three goals and two assists – surpassing his tally from any of his previous campaigns at the club.

Within the last week alone, he’s registered two goals and an assist, with his double firing the Red Devils to a 2-0 victory over PAOK in the Europa League.
Given United’s lack of success in the final third in recent months, Diallo’s form has certainly pushed him further up the pecking order and demonstrated that he could prevent any further big-money investment by being a useful asset to Amorim.
At 22, he’s now at the perfect age to demonstrate why the hierarchy splashed such a hefty fee on him at such a tender age, with his early form in 2024/25 making him an extremely useful asset to the new boss.

da apostebet: Liverpool have been offered the chance to seal a “sensational” swap deal involving a current Reds player and a “complete” midfielder, according to a new transfer claim.
Latest Liverpool news
da bet7: On Monday, finally some positive contract news emerged, with Fabizio Romano reporting that it is a “matter of time” until Ibrahima Konate signs a new deal at Anfield. While the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are even more important to tie down, the Frenchman is an influential performer in his own right.
In terms of transfer rumours doing the rounds, Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo continues to be linked with a move to Anfield, with a new report claiming that scouts have been sent to watch him in action, viewing him as a long-term replacement for Salah out on the right wing.
The Cameroonian is far from the only option being considered as a possible successor to the legendary Reds forward, with Bournemouth wide man Antoine Semenyo believed to have caught the eye of the Premier League leaders.
One Liverpool player who has been short of form and arguably looked past his best this season is Andy Robertson, and at 30, a long-term replacement will need to be found in the near future. Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri has emerged as a standout target, with Merseysiders even potentially able to sign him on the cheap.
Liverpool offered "sensational" swap deal opportunity
According to MilanLive [via Sport Witness], Liverpool have been handed the chance to sign AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders in a swap deal involving Federico Chiesa, likely with some cash going Milan’s way.
Described as a “sensational” opportunity, the Dutchman could join the Reds in the January transfer window, with Arne Slot potentially wanting to add depth in the middle of the park as this report claims those at Anfield are now considering whether to go through with such a “crazy” deal.
AC Milan midfielderTijjaniReijnders.
In some ways, it would be a huge surprise if Chiesa was sold midway through his first season at Liverpool, but the injury concerns that surrounded him when he arrived from Juventus have come to fruition, with the Italian sidelined currently and yet to start in the league in 2024/25.
The 27-year-old does still feel more likely to stay until at least the summer, but in Reijnders, the Reds would be signing an excellent midfielder who could add technical quality and defensive nous to Slot’s squad. The Milan man started all six matches for the Netherlands at Euro 2024, enjoying a 93.5% pass completion rate and helping his country reach the semi-finals, while Ronald Koeman has called him a “super complete midfielder with acceleration”.
At 26, Reijnders is both very experienced and still young enough to be a force in Liverpool’s midfield for plenty of years, and he could be viewed as a great alternative to Real Sociedad ace Martin Zubimendi.

Fabrizio Romano has dropped a big update from Anfield this week.

That being said, Chiesa needs to be trusted for now, and selling him would weaken the Reds’ attacking options, so the swap deal would come as a shock if it happened.
Warwickshire confirm that security measures will be stepped up for Saturday’s T20I

The thrilling action on day four at Edgbaston was undermined by racist abuse from some sections of the crowd•Getty Images
Saturday’s T20I between England and India at Edgbaston will be monitored by “undercover football crowd-style spotters”, after Warwickshire unveiled a series of new measures to combat the instances of racist abuse that marred last week’s delayed fifth Test between the same teams.England won the Test and squared the series in thrilling style, chasing down 378 before lunch on the final day, of which 259 were scored on the fourth afternoon and evening.However, that passage of play was marred by reports of racial insults from a section of the crowd, which were initially highlighted on Twitter by Azeem Rafiq, the former Yorkshire cricketer, and subsequently led to a criminal investigation by West Midlands Police.”Nearly 100,000 people watched one of the most exciting Test matches in recent history earlier this week,” Stuart Cain, Warwickshire’s chief executive, said. “But we cannot hide from the mindless racist abuse experienced by some fans following India in the Eric Hollies Stand.”These unacceptable actions by a small number of people have over-shadowed a superb sporting contest, and those responsible do not deserve to be part of the cricket family. We need to work harder as people, as well as a venue, to take responsibility for ensuring that everyone feels safe and welcome when watching the game.”With an exceedingly busy month looming for Edgbaston – including this week’s T20I against India, next week’s Vitality Blast Finals Day, and culminating in the ground’s staging of the women’s T20 competition at the Commonwealth Games – the club acknowledged in a statement that its “zero-tolerance” approach to stewarding “in isolated areas… hadn’t been delivered”. Edgbaston’s security partner, G4S, is investigating why Monday’s incidents were not more swiftly resolved.
For Saturday’s T20I, Warwickshire confirmed that undercover football crowd-style spotters would be deployed throughout Edgbaston to listen out for abusive behaviour and report it for immediate action, and added that there would be an increased police presence at games to handle such incidents swiftly, and enable more chance of successful prosecutions.The club said that all fans at subsequent matches would be encouraged to report abuse discreetly via the Edgbaston app, adding that anyone found guilty of hate crime will be banned not only from Edgbaston but from all venues under the ECB’s jurisdiction.”I was angry that a minority of people thought it acceptable to racially abuse a group of fans who were following India and bringing great entertainment to the Hollies,” Cain said.”Those involved had already enjoyed three brilliant days, mixing with England’s Barmy Army and creating a welcome atmosphere with their singing and Dhol drums. But on day four they experienced some abuse after tea, and there is no excuse for that.”This has given the Club renewed energy and motivation to work even harder to make sure Edgbaston is a place for everyone – regardless of race, sex, gender, ability or background. A few mindless idiots must not distract us. We are determined that any unacceptable behaviour will have a very public consequence.”Meanwhile, I want to apologise directly to any fans who were subjected to racist abuse. Everyone at Edgbaston will work hard to do better, and they are welcome back with open arms in the future.”
