da blaze casino： Sheffield United picked up the league double in the Steel City Derby on Sunday lunchtime as Chris Wilder’s Blades got the better of Danny Rohl’s Sheffield Wednesday by a single goal.

da dobrowin： As is often the case in a contest that has huge bragging rights on the line, the clash itself was cagey and attritional at points, with only five shots on target registered by both sides at Hillsborough.

Thankfully for the promotion-hungry Blades, one of their on-target efforts would trickle in courtesy of Rhian Brewster, with the number seven one standout performer that would help his side go joint top of the Championship with Yorkshire foes Leeds United.

Brewster's game-changing performance vs Wednesday

Indeed, Wilder would elect to start the ex-Liverpool forward for this full-blooded affair ahead of Callum O’Hare, which was a decision that proved to be a masterstroke come full-time.

The injury-prone attacker is enjoying his finest spell in a Blades shirt to date at the moment, with this late tap-in taking his second-tier goal haul for the campaign up to two alongside his three assists.

Not the most memorable strike in terms of quality, but the effort – which was all Tyrese Campbell’s making down the wing – would still send the Blades masses into pandemonium at Hillsborough, knowing their title charge remains on.

But, although Brewster would steal all the headlines at the end with this invaluable contribution, there were other faces in South Yorkshire who stood out even more, including this defender who could now be deemed as undroppable moving forward.

The Sheffield United star who is now undroppable

Whilst certain positions in Wilder’s XI are fixed now, with Michael Cooper an absolute shoo-in in-between the sticks among other names, the right-back position is still very much up for grabs.

With both Harry Clarke and Alfie Gilchrist absent for the Steel City Derby, Wilder would hand Femi Seriki only his fourth start of the Championship season to try and make up for these woes, which was another close call the United boss got spot on.

The 57-year-old wouldn’t have felt any worry with Seriki at the right-back spot despite the occasion, having seen him win five duels against Bristol City just the league match before, only for him to put in even more of a determined and dogged effort against Rohl’s hosts when glancing at the table above.

Across the course of the 90 minutes, the Manchester-born 21-year-old won a steep 11 duels for his side when they were under the cosh, on top of also relieving danger with some sprints in attack, leading to four successful dribbles also coming his way before the high-stakes game was done and dusted.

Having battled back from his own injury concerns, the up-and-coming Blades prospect will hope he’s gifted an extended run in the main team now as Wilder’s first-choice right-back, with Sheffield Star journalist Danny Hall even gifting Seriki a high 8/10 rating post-match.

United will know the win wasn’t clinched in the prettiest of manners, but another three points being tallied up on the board keeps the title race ticking over for another day, as the red and white half of South Yorkshire aim to take Leeds all the way.

بدأ تشابي ألونسو مدرب ريال مدريد التخطيط لمشروع جديد في النادي، بعد أن حصل المدرب الإسباني على معظم ما طلبه من الإدارة.

وعلى الرغم من تلبية معظم طلبات تشابي ألونسو إلا أنه مازال في حاجة للاعب خط وسط دفاعي وقد استغل المدرب إمكانيات تشواميني بشكل جيد لتوظيفه في هذا المركز.

ومع ذلك يفضل ألونسو الاعتماد على لاعب يقدم قيمة أكبر في الملعب من حيث التمريرات وبناء الهجمة، وبالفعل أصبح هناك مراقبة على العديد من اللاعبين خلال الفترة الأخيرة.

ووفقاً لصحيفة “آس” الإسبانية فإن آدم وارتون لاعب خط وسط كريستال بالاس أصبح على رادار ريال مدريد للانضمام لصفوفه وشغل هذا المركز على الرغم من أن التعاقد معه لن يكون سهلاً على الإطلاق.

وتبلغ قيمة وارتون 80 مليون يورو وهو مبلغ ترفض إدارة ريال مدريد دفعه إلا إذا رحل لاعب كبير في الأسابيع المقبلة، ولا يعد النادي الإسباني هو الوحيد الذي يسعى لضم النجم الشاب.

ويرتبط وارتون بالانضمام لأندية مانشستر سيتي ومانشستر يونايتد وليفربول وتراقب موقفه مع كريستال بالاس، ولن يترددوا في دفع قيمته نظراً لتضخم سوق انتقالات البريميرليج هذا الصيف.

وأثبت وارتون جدارته وأحقيته في خط وسط كريستال بالاس الموسم الماضي وشارك في 20 مباراة منها 16 مباراة بشكل أساسي في سن الحادية والعشرين فقط.

da brdice： Jhesgon Méndez chegou ao São Paulo. E em sua apresentação oficial, na tarde desta quinta-feira (12), no CT da Barra Funda, o volante equatoriano explicou como o compatriota Arboleda, quase um estandarte do Tricolor, e o atacante Alexandre Pato, com quem jogou no Orlando City, dos EUA, acabaram lhe motivando a vir para o Morumbi.

– Conversei com Arboleda quando o São Paulo me contatou, ele comentou como era o clube, as pessoas. A verdade é que ele falou muito bem de tudo. Não foi necessário que ele me dissesse algumas coisas, eu já sabia, porque o clube é grande. Falei com o Pato, grande amigo meu, ele está muito feliz que estou aqui. Foi uma decisão pessoal, agradeço ao presidente, ao Rui Costa (diretor executivo de futebol). Sempre tento para um lugar onde as pessoas te querem. Isso foi importante.

E quais dicas o Pato deu ao jogador de 25 anos? Ele mesmo conta…

– Fizemos muito boa amizade nos EUA. Ele (Pato) me falou da grandeza do clube, me explicou algumas coisas que quem está fora não sabe. Agradeço a ele pelos conselhos. Disse para eu desfrutar com responsabilidade, mas para não se sentir pressionado, desfrutar do futebol, tentar ganhar títulos.

Revelado pelo Independiente del Valle, justamente o algoz são-paulino na final da Copa Sul-Americana do ano passado, o jogador atua desde 2019 no futebol dos EUA.

Considerado uma grande promessa, foi contratado pelo Orlando City, mas perdeu espaço na equipe de Miami e acabou se transferindo para o Los Angeles FC no último ano, onde se sagrou campeão da MLS (Major League Soccer).

Como seu contrato com os estadunidenses se encerra agora em janeiro, ele virá em uma transferência sem custos para o clube do Morumbi. O LANCE! apurou que deverá assinar vínculo de três anos.

Méndez chega ao Morumbi com holofotes suficientes para ser titular do meio-campo, atuando como segundo homem da posição, à frente de Pablo Maia e responsável pela articulação inicial das jogadas.

– Falei com o treinador, ele me contou algumas coisas que busca para a equipe. Ele pediu que eu jogasse mais adiante, mas eu gosto de sair de trás, onde tenho mais controle do time.

Na apresentação, Méndez também explicou o motivo de ter escolhido a camisa 21, com grande simbolismo parea ele.

– Tem o significado especial, foi a data que morreu meu pai há cinco meses. Foi um momento duro para mim, pois ele sempre estava ao meu lado, me apoiando, escolhi esse número por ele.

West Bromwich Albion supporters will head to Leeds United this coming weekend hopeful that their side can disrupt the flow of the table-topping Whites.

It will be easier said than done, however, with Daniel Farke’s men now ridiculously unbeaten in Championship action across a mammoth 16-game stretch, whilst Tony Mowbray’s Baggies continue to blow hot and cold with only two victories picked up themselves from their last five league outings.

To further add to the West Brom unease, the experienced figure of Jed Wallace is now sidelined through injury, but the playoff-chasers did manage fine without him in their last 2-0 win over Oxford United.

West Brom dealing with Wallace's injury

Indeed, although Wallace had found his minutes limited under the previous regime, he had picked up a goal and an assist under Mowbray in league action before this injury setback occurred.

Still, his absence wasn’t really felt in the 2-0 victory over the U’s, as other experienced heads such as Alex Mowatt took control by bagging the opener, before the equally seasoned John Swift made sure of the three points at the death.

Moreover, Tammer Bany exploded into life in a Baggies strip from off the bench, with the former Randers FC man a revelation late on down the left channel when teeing up Swift for his game-clinching strike.

But, it’s down the right – where Wallace primarily plays – where the promotion hopefuls didn’t look quite as devastating when Grady Diangana was given a late run-out, with the ex-West Ham United attacker managing just five lacklustre touches.

Therefore, with Wallace missing for several weeks, it could be an apt moment for Mowbray to gamble with this Tom Fellows understudy, who could well become the club’s next on-fire homegrown winger if given time.

West Brom's next Fellows

West Brom, of course, struck gold when gifting Fellows more regular senior opportunities just last season, with the constantly improving 21-year-old midfielder up to a breathtaking 11 assists this campaign in the second tier.

Therefore, the Baggies could hope history repeats itself with 19-year-old Akeel Higgins potentially being bumped up to the first team fold soon, having excited those at the Hawthorns already with his sublime U21 showings.

This season so far, Higgins has picked up one singular goal in Premier League 2 action – which was this stunning solo strike earlier in February – but he also has three assists next to his name to show off his unselfish approach when bursting forward, with an ambition to rival Fellows’ creativity if he is gifted a senior shot by Mowbray.

After all, it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for the 61-year-old to throw the starlet into games moving forward, considering he worked alongside some top young assets in the form of Chris Rigg and Jobe Bellingham when still at the reins of Sunderland.

Looking at the table above, it does feel as if Higgins is overdue his moment in the first-team spotlight, with Fellows only needing 61 games for both the U18s and U21s before being unleashed into the senior picture.

Lauded as a “bright” prospect for the future by youth coach Richard Beale back in 2022, time will only tell if he can pass any forthcoming first team assessments with flying colours, having been gifted his senior debut already by Corberan last season.

Now, it could be coming together for Higgins to become the club’s next Fellows, with Mowbray perhaps catching more teams off-guard near the top of the division with the fresh and raw attacker in his ranks.

West Bromwich Albion won this star for absolutely nothing.

A second consecutive five-wicket haul from Wanindu Hasaranga skittled Oman for 98 – the second-lowest ODI total in their history – as Sri Lanka cruised to a ten-wicket win. The result means Sri Lanka have one foot in the Super Sixes with two wins from two.The win set up by Hasaranga with figures of 5 for 13 was finished off by the Sri Lankan openers, who completed the chase in 15 overs. Dimuth Karunaratne notched his 10th ODI fifty in the process.The nature of the win has also given a significant boost to Sri Lanka’s net run rate – something which they will be able to carry over to the Super Sixes stage, provided Oman qualify. As for Oman, they remain in a good position to make the next round despite this defeat, with two wins from their three games.On an overcast and cold Bulawayo morning, Dasun Shanaka wasted little time in putting Oman into bat, with proceedings expected to be tough for the batters early on.Lahiru Kumara, bowling consistently in the 135-140kph range, was particularly impressive, as his pace allied with the hard lengths he so often looks to exploit, proved too much for the Oman batters, most of whom weren’t used to contending with such pace. Kumara’s first wicket came in his first over through a good length delivery that pitched and straightened on off stump. Kashyap Prajapati, who saw a leading edge dropped by Kumara off a similar ball earlier in the over, failed to get bat on it and was trapped on the back pad.Lahiru Kumara put on an impressive show, picking up three wickets•ICC via Getty Images

Kumara’s next two would come courtesy some shorter stuff, with first Zeeshan Maqsood and then Mohammad Nadeem chipping to square leg. He would end with figures of 3 for 22 in eight overs – a Player-of-the-Match worthy performance on any other day.Kasun Rajitha at the other end picked up just a solitary wicket but was consistently threatening by bowling the nagging line outside off. Fittingly, it was an outswinger to Aqib Ilyas that would give him a deserved return, with the right-hander pushing uncertainly outside his off stump only to get a thick edge to a recently-installed fifth slip.The Kumara-Rajitha one-two combo would eventually see Oman slide to 20 for 4 midway through the 10th over. Karunaratne, speaking after the game, said the conditions provided the pace attack an opening and they grabbed it. “Today we won the toss and there was something for the fast bowlers, with the cloudy conditions. They grabbed the opportunity.”A 52-run stand between Jatinder Singh and Ayaan Khan then provided Oman a glimmer of hope of reaching a respectable total.But in a single Hasaranga over all such hopes were vanquished. Three googlies, three wickets, zero runs – Jatinder, Shoaib Khan and Jay Odedra all sent packing. Jatinder and Odedra were dismissed lbw while Shoaib was castled after an ill-advised attempt at a slog. After that it was just a matter of time.Ayaan sought to soldier on with the tail, but Hasaranga wasn’t having any of it. He would complete his five-for trapping Bilal Khan lbw as the last man. Four of his five wickets were either lbw or bowled. Only Ayaan, who was caught expertly at slip, would require the intervention of a team-mate. There was a run-out in the mix as well, just to compound a miserable day for Oman and yet another perfect outing for Sri Lanka.Karunaratne summed it up: “We’ve won convincingly, and that’s what we’ve wanted to do. Everything is is pretty good shape. But we want to take it match by match and get to the Super Sixes.”
