Aston Villa fans react to Keinan Davis move

Aston Villa forward Keinan Davis has moved to Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season.

The move was officially confirmed by Villa on Saturday evening, and as to be expected, a number of supporters were quick to give their thoughts to the news.

Davis, who saw a temporary move to Stoke City fall through last summer due to injury, has played just 11 Premier League minutes this season. He will now get the chance to play regular senior football in the Championship under Steve Cooper, with Forest looking to break into the play-off picture in the second half of the campaign.

Davis will be looking to improve on his goalscoring record at the City Ground, with the 23-year-old scoring just six times in 86 appearances as a Villa player.

Here is what these Villa fans had to say in reply to the club’s Twitter confirmation of Davis’ loan switch, with many sharing positive thoughts and one feeling that it could be a ‘class’ move for the striker.

Began the season with a six-match losing streak and couldn’t recover. It was their second wooden spoon.Big PictureRebirth is the overwhelming theme of Delhi Daredevils this season. They have dispensed with a squad that succumbed during crunch moments and repaired that shortcoming by investing in Kevin Pietersen – a man reputed to unfurl his best when direly needed – as their captain and Gary Kirsten – a man who has a World Cup and the Test championship mace on his resume – as coach.They also re-enlisted some old friends at the auction. Dinesh Karthik’s 1741 runs are the most by an Indian wicketkeeper, barring MS Dhoni. He returned to his IPL roots and was such a priority for Daredevils that he ended up the second-highest buy of the season. Ross Taylor conveyed relief over being back in familiar surrounds, but he will face stiff competition from JP Duminy, whose comparatively lesser boundary-clearing ability is compensated by more than handy offspin. With Daredevils having recorded their two worst totals in IPL history in 2013, the trio’s enterprise under pressure completes a settled batting line-up.What Daredevils don’t possess is depth in spin bowling, a resource that gained value during the World T20. Rahul Sharma and Shahbaz Nadeem are known more for their rigorous discipline than spitting turn and their eight overs gain further significance considering they have minimum back-up.The fans might still pine for Virender Sehwag, but his unpredictability was decided to be too much of a luxury. In his stead comes M Vijay, another of the more successful openers in IPL. But it will be interesting to see how he fares on his first transfer away from Chennai Super Kings.Big playersFor someone who was ousted from international cricket, Kevin Pietersen is quite upbeat. He welcomed the challenge of captaincy, bolstered by the experience gained over a decade at the top-level. His ability is beyond question, but how would he combat four months’ lack of match-practice, and a finger injury in the lead-up to the tournament?”Promising, but wayward,” sums up the Daredevils’ seam attack. Mohammed Shami, who forms a crucial part of it, is a rare property in IPL cricket – an Indian fast bowler who actually is fast. He can also generate early swing, but has been known to come second best if the batsmen are willing to take him on.Bargain buyRoss Taylor is already eager to harness his good form over the New Zealand summer. A price tag of Rs 2 crore (US$ 333,000) seems a steal for a man who hit three consecutive Test centuries – including a maiden double – and two match-winning ODI tons on the trot in the last five months.AvailabilityNo international commitments on the horizon.Quotes”It’s nice to come back to a franchise that I am familiar with. Going to three franchises in three years was a little disruptive.”
Odds8/1 – sixth favourite, ahead only of Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders

Botafogo assina com a Kappa para fornecer material ao futebol

MatériaMais Notícias

Fim da novela: após um período de negociações, Botafogo e Kappa chegaram a um acordo oficial. Nesta sexta-feira, foi feita a assinatura de contrato entre o clube de General Severiano e a marca italiana, que vai passar a assinar os uniformes do Glorioso. A informação foi divulgada primeiramente por Thiago Franklin e confirmada pelo LANCE!.

O contrato será válido por dois anos e começará a valer após o retorno da Copa América. Nas partidas contra CSA e Grêmio, as duas últimas antes da parada da competição internacional, o Alvinegro ainda jogará com os uniformes da Topper, antiga fornecedora de material esportivo.

Será a segunda passagem da Kappa como fornecedora de material esportivo do Botafogo. Entre 2004 e 2009, a marca italiana assinou as camisas do clube de General Severiano. Agora, o novo vínculo será válido até junho de 2021.

A nova fornecedora de material esportivo, porém, não estará presente em todos os esportes do Botafogo. Com contrato assinado para os uniformes do futebol masculino e feminino, a marca italiana não assinará as camisas de basquete e vôlei. Na próxima temporada, os times masculinos do Glorioso estarão na elite do NBB – inclusive, participando da Liga Sul-Americana – e da Superliga.

Este panorama foi uma opção do Botafogo. Inicialmente, a intenção da Kappa era assinar os uniformes dos esportes olímpicos, mas o clube travou este fator nos últimos detalhes do contrato. Desta forma, as camisas das equipes de basquete e vôlei terão uma marca própria, desenvolvida pelo Alvinegro.

A ideia do departamento de marketing do Botafogo é começar a desenvolver uma ideia de ter uma marca própria forte. As novas camisas estarão prontas até setembro e o clube estuda, por questões envolvendo o custo das camisas, em montar uma linha popular, com preços mais baratos. Com a Topper, o uniforme de basquete custava R$ 199,90.

Corinthians se empolga com lance plástico de Pedrinho na França

MatériaMais Notícias

Cria da base do Corinthians, o meia-atacante Pedrinho protagonizou um belo lance no jogo desta quarta, entre Brasil e França, no Torneio de Toulon – disputado por equipes da categoria sub-23. O jogador do Timão deu dois chapéus nos marcadores franceses e criou uma boa oportunidade de gol para a Seleção, que acabou vencendo os europeus, por 4 a 0.

A plasticidade do lance chamou bastante a atenção. Em sua conta no Twitter, o Corinthians postou o vídeo dos dribles e brincou com os franceses, dizendo que a chapelaria estava aberta.

Titular na campanha do Brasil no Torneio de Toulon, o meia-atacante do Timão não chegou a marcar gols nesta tarde. O jogador teve uma boa chance após driblar o goleiro, mas o zagueiro francês tirou a bola em cima da linha. No segundo tempo, Pedrinho deu lugar para o também corintiano Mateus Vital. O camisa 10 da Seleção fez o último dos gols do Brasil na partida.

O próximo compromisso do time treinado por André Jardine será contra o Catar. A seleção asiática já está eliminada, enquanto o Brasil segue com 100% de aproveitamento na competição – uma das mais importantes no cenário mundial nas categorias de base.

برشلونة يعمل على حل أزمة جافي قبل نهاية الانتقالات

يأمل نادي برشلونة الإسباني في حل وضع لاعبه الشاب جافي، قبل إغلاق فترة الانتقالات، وفقًا لتقارير صحفية.

وكان وضع جافي في برشلونة غريبًا، حيث وقع اللاعب البالغ من العمر 19 عامًا عقدًا جديدًا الموسم الماضي، لكن لم يتم تسجيله كلاعب في الفريق الأول في رابطة الليجا، بسبب المشاكل المالية.

وحصل برشلونة على حكم قضائي بتسجيله مرة أخرى في يناير، وحصل على القميص رقم 6 مع الفريق الأول، على الرغم من إلغاء ذلك لاحقًا.

تطور الأمر مجددًا، وحصل برشلونة من المحكمة على إجراء سمح لهم بتسجيل جافي كلاعب في الفريق الأول في رابطة الليجا.

وتوضح صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية أنه على الرغم من ذلك، يريد برشلونة تأمين تسجيله دون أي مساعدة قضائية، حتى يتجنبوا أي مشاكل مستقبلية تتعلق بجافي.

وفقًا للتقرير، يعمل برشلونة على تسجيل جافي رسميًا مع الدوري الإسباني هذا الأسبوع، قبل إغلاق فترة الانتقالات.

IPL teams face hit in sponsor revenue

The shift of some matches overseas, the controversies emerging from the corruption scandal and the clash with the elections are causing sponsors to be wary

Nagraj Gollapudi02-Apr-2014

The corruption scandal and the uncertainty over the schedule are some of the reasons franchises are finding it hard to sign up sponsors•Hindustan Times

With just two weeks left for the start of the IPL, many franchises are yet to finalise deals with sponsors. Kings XI Punjab, Delhi Daredevils, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are understood to be the five franchises that have been unable to close deals, including finding a front-chest sponsor, a valuable space where the brand is most prominently displayed on the shirt front.Brand experts predicted a “tough year”, claiming the franchises will suffer a deep cut of 20% in their sponsorship revenues, which will be exacerbated by the loss in ticket revenues as a result of the first phase of the tournament being played in the UAE.Uncertainty over the venue for the second-half of the IPL, the economic slowdown, clash with the federal elections, and the controversies that have emanated from the corruption scandal during last year’s IPL are factors that have affected sponsorships.According to Mohit Burman, one of the Kings XI owners, as soon as the IPL announced the first 20 matches would be played in the UAE, sponsors sent a warning signal. “One of our sponsors, Lux Cozy, decided to not renew a three-year deal,” Burman said. “They pulled out immediately. This year is sort of a mess. The uncertainty over the venues did hamper us. First they said it could be one of – or a combination of – South Africa, UAE and Bangladesh as the overseas venue due to the elections. Now we still do not know where the second part will be held. As it is, the market is soft, and due to the recent controversies it has had an impact on the franchise costs.”Burman agreed that the overall revenues this season will be significantly lesser than previous seasons. “The gate money would be reduced, the sponsorship would be reduced, there are fewer teams so the central revenue would be also be reduced.”According to a franchise chief executive, the enthusiasm among sponsors for the IPL is not the same as it was in the first five years. “It is very difficult to get sponsorships. The IPL has taken a big beating. Everybody is negotiating – there is a massive decrease in sponsorship costs,” the franchise CEO said. This CEO said he had been trying to close deals over the past month but the sponsors, mainly local, were not keen.Yet, the CEO remained optimistic. “We are in advance talks with a bunch of people. [But] the market has been bad,” he said. According to him, during the last meeting the IPL had with franchises in Chennai last month, they were told that a definite schedule would be announced in a few weeks. “The second-half schedule has not come in yet. People are still waiting. If somebody wants to spend big bucks would they just bet blindly? So you need a schedule to plan the stuff, budget depending on where the matches are.”The front-chest sponsorship is worth anywhere between Rs10 crore ($1.67m) to 20 crore per season. Muthoot Finance did not renew their three-year contract with Daredevils; Ultratech Cements brought to an end a long-running relationship with Royals; and Kings XI, who had two different sponsors after Emirates pulled out in 2011, is understood to have failed to find a sponsor for even one of the six advertising slots available on a team shirt.According to the CEO the local sponsors’ biggest challenge is building brand engagement when matches are set to be held overseas. “Say some of my home matches are being played outside due to the clash of the elections, my sponsor today is not sure whether he wants to advertise outside. It is not about the TV logo anymore. It is also about activating in the local market,” he said. “This is becoming ridiculous. I hope they release the [final] schedule.”Brand experts agree it is going to be a gruelling summer for franchises with an estimated minimum cut of 20% in the sponsorship costs. “That is a serious cut. Moreover there will also be impact on the gate revenues with the first phase being played overseas. It is going to be a tough year,” said Vinit Karnik, a top official at GroupM ESP, media planning agency.Karnik said had predicted a year ago that sponsorship costs were likely to go down, and not because of the scheduling issues. “This is a peculiar year. When IPL started in 2008 most of the franchises had inked three-year deals and some had signed five-year contracts with sponsors. Most of the big deals were for three years, which got renewed for another three years and re-opened in the seventh year. The five-year deals were extended by a year. So the seventh year [2014] was the year of a lot of supply, where most of the franchises’ deals were up for renewal. It is a typical demand-supply situation. If there are eight teams and there are on an average six to eight assets [sponsors] it means about 50-60 assets open in the market.”

Campello retira candidatura e faz união com Brant na eleição do Vasco

MatériaMais Notícias

A uma semana da eleição presidencial do Vasco, uma nova união da oposição entre candidaturas movimentou o cenário político na noite desta segunda-feira. Na casa portuguesa Vila da Feira, localizada no bairro da Tijuca, Zona Norte do Rio de Janeiro, ocorreu a convenção final do então candidato Alexandre Campello, da Frente Vasco Livre, onde ele retirou a candidatura para apoiar Julio Brant, da Sempre Vasco. Forma-se, assim, a chapa “Sempre Vasco Livre”. A eleição acontece na terça-feira da semana que vem.

Nesta nova chapa, Julio Brant segue como candidato à presidência. Alexandre Campello concorre agora como vice-presidente desta nova composição. Nelson Sendas, então nome de vice de Brant, conforme o LANCE! mostrou há duas semanas com exclusividade, abriu mão do cargo em prol da união e, agora, será o segundo vice. Cerca de 700 pessoas estiveram no salão onde aconteceu o evento, que contou com a presença, além de Brant e Campello, dos ex-jogadores cruz-maltinos Pedrinho, Felipe e Mauro Galvão.

– O desejo dos vascaínos motivou essa união. Para termos uma gestão de transparência. Precisamos disso no Vasco. Essa união possibilitará a nossa vitória. Há um alinhamento entre eu e o Brant com as propostas para o Vasco. Observamos que sozinhos não conseguiríamos a vitória. Juntos vamos vencer. Isso norteará esta reta final – afirmou Campello após o evento aos jornalistas presentes.

– Chegamos em 7 de novembro favoritos para vencer a eleição. Juntando os dois, eu e o Campello, a vitória é certa. A renovação que queremos é dar visão para o Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama. Teremos uma cédula verde e amarela na eleição justamente para mostrarmos essa união, essa solidificação, uma coisa inédita na história do Vasco. É um Vasco antes e depois do dia de hoje – ressaltou Brant.

Esta união vem sendo discutida há algumas semanas. Alguns ajustes de cargos precisaram ser vistos em prol do êxito das conversas. Vale lembrar que é a segunda junção de candidaturas neste processo eleitoral do Vasco. Antes, Otto Carvalho, do grupo Ao Vasco Tudo, já tinha retirado sua candidatura para apoiar Fernando Horta (Mudança com Segurança). Novas uniões até 7 de novembro, dia da eleição, não estão descartadas. A tendência é que seja o caminho seguido por Antonio Fernandes, do Novos Rumos. Pela situação, Eurico Miranda tenta a reeleiçao com a chapa Reconstruindo o Vasco.

Assista a seguir o momento que Julio Brant e Alexandre Campello subiram ao palco do evento e trocaram as camisas como forma de mostrar a união!

محمد محمود يتحدث عن مارسيل كولر ويوجه رسالة لجماهير الأهلي

تحدث محمد محمود لاعب فريق الكرة بالأهلي عن رأيه وانطباعاته حول مارسيل كولر المدير الفني للقلعة الحمراء، موجها رسالة للجماهير في الفترة المقبلة.

وقال محمد محمود في تصريحات للموقع الرسمي للأهلي: “كولر مدير فني كبير يجيد التعامل مع اللاعبين، وهدفه تطوير الأداء الجماعي للفريق، وحديثه معنا مريح للغاية”.

وتابع: “هو دائمًا ما يؤكد أن اللاعب الأفضل والأكثر قدرة على تنفيذ التعليمات هو الذي سيكون له دور في المشاركة مع الفريق خلال الموسم المقبل، بصرف النظر عن السن أو حجم الموهبة التي يمتلكها، فلابد أن يكون مؤثرا في جماعية الفريق،وكل هذه الانطباعات تدعو للتفاؤل لما يسعى لتقديمه”.

وأكمل: “المنافسة الشديدة والشريفة بين جميع اللاعبين ليس في مركزه فقط، والجميع يسعى لتقديم أفضل ما لديهم من أجل الأهلي، وهذا أمر إيجابي ويصب في مصلحة الفريق”.

وعن علاقته بـ”السوشيال ميديا”، أجاب: “أنا غير متفاعل بشكل جيد مع مواقع التواصل، وأهتم فقط بصور المران بعض الأوقات، ولكن تركيزي الأكبر داخل الملعب من خلال التدريبات وبرنامجي الغذائي وأجواء الفريق، وأقضي وقت فراغه في متابعة برنامجه الغذائي ولعب البلايستيشن”.

وتحدث محمد محمود عن إصابته بقطع في الرباط الصليبي للمرة الثانية والتي وصفها بأنها واحدة من أصعب لحظات حياته، وكان لها مردود نفسي سيء عليه وعلى أسرته فور علمه بالخبر، ولكنه تدارك الأمر سريعًا، خصوصا بعد الدعم الكبير الذي وجده من الأهلي وجماهيره التي تكدست أمام منزله بشكل مفاجئ لدعمه ومؤازرته.

وفي ختام حديثه، وجّه محمد محمود الشكر لجماهير الأهلي على الدعم والمؤازرة ودورهم المؤثر في مسيرة الفريق دائما وقال: “نعدكم أن مفيش بطولة هتضيع مننا”.
