New Multan team owner wants second PSL for youth development

Ali Tareen says he has proposed a ‘winter PSL’ with teams mostly made up of local talent, played in the actual home cities of the franchises

Danyal Rasool20-Dec-2018

The story surrounding the sixth team of the PSL was held by some as a cautionary tale against investing in a league many believed had no long-term prospects. But today, the successful takeover led by Ali Tareen has ensured stability in more ways than one. For starters, Tareen hails from South Punjab, of which Multan is the biggest city, so the team will be called Multan after all; whether it remains Multan Sultans remains unclear for the moment, partly owing to the complicated legal situation that surrounds the exit from the PSL of the previous owners, the Schon Group.Tareen, the son of one of Pakistan’s richest and most influential business leaders, the sugar mill tycoon Jehangir Tareen, saw an opportunity to mix business with cricket when the sixth team became available. Tareen said he was not as concerned by how much money this venture made him, insisting he believed people “see this business incorrectly”.”When you buy a house and put it up for rent, no one expects the rent to pay for the house,” Tareen said. “The asset you invest in – the house – will appreciate and the rent will be the operating profit, which you spend. Similarly, you have to see the money you pay for the team as a one-time cost of buying the house. You have to think of it as buying as asset that will appreciate, just like all the other franchises have appreciated. That’s how I think of it, not as ‘I’m paying a franchise fee as part of my operating expenses.'”ALSO READ – PSL sixth team ownership rights won by Ali Tareen consortiumTareen has long been vocal about investing in the domestic structure – he runs a website called Grassroots Cricket – and sees the sixth team as an opportunity for young players in South Punjab. He wants the PCB to use the PSL as a vehicle to drive through youth development more efficiently.”I’ve suggested another possible competition to the PCB, a winter PSL of sorts,” he said. “In this tournament, they’d have players from only the emerging and supplementary categories, as well as possibly the Silver category. A local tournament of the local talent, because many of these guys will never get a chance to play in the actual PSL. One, it develops local players. Two, you can hold matches in the actual cities the franchises are from.”When I speak to sponsors who have not sponsored a team for two years in a row, they say it’s too big a marketing budget for just a few weeks a year. It’s too short, and they never get bang for their buck. If there’s a second tournament which is also televised, with people coming and watching it at the grounds, that is when sponsors get twice as much mileage for sponsorships they’ve already paid out on. That’s when this can become more profitable.”Tareen’s political affiliations won’t have escaped anyone’s notice. His father Jehangir remains one of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s key political allies, and is widely believed to be the biggest financial backer of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. Ali Tareen himself unsuccessfully contested by-elections in his native Lodhran last year. He claimed, however, that he had no intention of using the franchise to bolster any political ambitions, saying he wasn’t as interested in the six weeks of the tournament as the background work for it.”I have no intention or desire to be the face of the team,” he said. “Our goal is to have professional management, so none of the owners interfere in management or team selection. My own interest is only the 11 months after the PSL ends, which is when the development takes place.”Tareen believes the groundwork for a successful team is in place. While he had no control over the draft, which took place under a PCB-appointed group, he called it a strong team, though wouldn’t yet be drawn into any backroom changes he might make.Tareen’s bid was in serious doubt as recently as Sunday, when he tweeted he was reconsidering bidding after the price exceeded USD 5 million. However, a local businessman stepped up, “who wanted to bid a far bigger figure to ensure we got the rights. The costs were distributed among all stakeholders after that.”With several parties combining to make the Tareen-led bid the triumphant one, it is still unclear who the majority shareholder is. “I’m the director of operations and I’m going to be the one managing the franchise,” Tareen said.

Crystal Palace can ease Eze blow by unleashing "immense" £40k-p/w gem

It's not the bells of Christmas ringing at Crystal Palace, it's alarm bells following four defeats in their last five Premier League matches.

The latest of those – a 2-1 defeat against Luton Town – happened to be the worst of the lot with the Eagles throwing away a one-goal lead as the Hatters launched a second-half fightback to secure only their second victory of the campaign.

Statistically, that was a game Palace should never have lost having registered eight shots on target to their opponent's two, as per Sofascore, while accumulating an expected goals (xG) of 1.67.

Nonetheless, the visitors were undone by their own wastefulness once more and although tasting defeat against Luton was a bitter pill to swallow, it wasn't the worst result to come from that game as star player Eberechi Eze was forced off the pitch through injury in the 49th minute.

Eberechi Eze

Roy Hodgson now needs to somehow find a replacement for his exceptional talent, who is crucial to everything that Palace do in the final third, ahead of their London derby fixture against West Ham United later today.

Eberechi Eze's statistics this season

With only two goals and one assist to his name this term, such statistics would normally imply a player hasn't had much of an impact on proceedings, but that isn't the case with Palace's superstar.

The 25-year-old, who was hailed by former manager Patrick Vieira as "different class", has still delivered on the Frenchman's praise by producing sensational attacking metrics.

Considering he reached ten goals and six assists in all competitions last term, it hasn't been the best start to the season from Eze's point of view, but the above table implies that he's still a dominant force and the one most likely to produce some magic in the final third.

The fact he's top across most attacking metrics in the Palace squad, including successful dribbles per game and big chances created, suggests Hodgson has the near-impossible task of replacing him, with Eze likely to be out for about four weeks.

That said, the injury to the Englishman could see him unleash talented teenager Matheus Franca against West Ham.

Why Franca should start against West Ham

Although several big clubs were previously interested in the Brazilian, it was the Eagles who pulled off the astute £26m capture of Franca from Brazilian side Flamengo in the summer.

Despite so much hype surrounding his name upon arrival, with journalist Antonio Mango describing him as "immense", the 19-year-old has been used sparingly by Hodgson this season having featured across just 31 minutes in the Premier League.

Flamengo midfielder Matheus Franca.

Talent scout Jacek Kulig even hailed him as "one of the most exciting teenagers in Brazil" two years ago after plundering 19 goals and supplying ten assists for Flamengo's underage sides.

With such quality being broadcast to the rest of the world, it was no surprise to see many people wax lyrical over his precocious talents.

This is evidenced by the fact he's outperformed Eze across most attacking metrics in the past year, including successful take-ons (3.09/2.86), progressive carries (4.64/2.43) and non-penalty goals (0.39/0.31), as per FBref.

Whilst the £40k per-week gem was strutting his stuff in a division with much less quality than the Premier League, he's still outperformed arguably Palace's best player, which suggests it could be time for him to unleash those attacking attributes in England's top flight.

حسين زكي لـ"بطولات": مجموعة الزمالك بها منافس قوي جدًا.. والأهلي لديه خيار ثاني في كأس العالم للأندية

علق حسين زكي لاعب منتخب مصر لكرة اليد الأسبق على نتيجة قرعة كأس العالم للأندية والتي أجريت مساء أمس الأربعاء بمشاركة الأهلي والزمالك.

ومن المنتظر أن تقام منافسات بطولة كأس العالم للأندية بمشاركة الأهلي والزمالك، على صالة العاصمة الإدارية الجديدة، خلال الفترة من 27 سبتمبر إلى 3 أكتوبر بالعام الجاري.

وقال حسين زكي في تصريحات خاصة لـ”بطولات”: “لا يوجد فريق طريقه أسهل، أرى الفرق كلها قريبة من بعض، والثلاثة مجموعات يوجد فيها فرق قوية جدًا”.

وأكمل: “يمكن الأسهل من فرق أوروبا هو الفريق الذي يلعب مع الزمالك، أما الفريق البرازيلي المتواجد مع الأبيض قوي جدًا”.

وتابع: “الزمالك لديه فرصة يسيطر ويتأهل، وذلك إذا شكلوا قائمة جيدة وتدعيمات قوية، أرى الزمالك سيكون أقرب بعض الشيء، لكن الأهلي سيكون لديه الأفضلية ويأخذ أول المجموعة وهذه ستكون الحلقة الأصعب”.

واستطرد: “ولكن الأهلي كذلك سيكون لديه خيار ثاني لكي يحقق نتيجة كبيرة على فريق سيدني، ويتأهل من أفضل أصحاب المركز الثاني”.

واختتم: “أتمنى من الجماهير المصرية تقف خلف الأندية المصرية والعربية، مثلما نقف خلف منتخب مصر هذه المرة لا يوجد فيها أهلي وزمالك، قفوا خلف الأندية المصرية حتى التأهل للنهائي وبعد ذلك فكر في الأهلي والزمالك”.

Mackay makes New Zealand comeback after five years

Selectors hand maiden call-ups to Gurrey and Mair for the three T20Is against India

Frances Mackay returns to the New Zealand women’s T20I squad five years after she last featured in an international. The selectors have also included uncapped Caitlin Gurrey and Rosemary Mair in their 13-member squad for the three-match series against India starting February 6.Mackay and Gurrey were selected following their chart-topping show at the 2018-19 Super Smash. Allrounder Mackay struck two centuries and a 97 for Canterbury women recently, while Gurrey has impressed with scores of 102, 79 and 55 since December. Mair, the Central Districts’ 20-year-old medium pacer, has taken a wicket in each of her last ten games, with a best of 3 for 28 in the warm-up game against India. For head coach Haidie Tiffen, this is an opportunity for the team to regroup after a disappointing group-stage exit from the 2018 Women’s World T20. It has meant that Maddy Green, Lauren Down, Katie Perkins, Holly Huddleston and Anna Peterson miss out.”We’ve had to draw a line in the sand after our performance at the T20 World Cup,” Tiffen said. “We need to reward and give opportunities to players in form, while building depth and competition for places within the environment. Frankie, Katie and Rosemary can all be proud of how they have performed in their respective Super Smash campaigns. We are rewarding players who are in form and we feel these three deserve a chance at the highest level.”The squad also features the return of Katey Martin, who was unavailable for the ODIs against India due to personal reasons.New Zealand women T20I squad: Amy Satterthwaite (capt), Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout, Sophie Devine, Caitlin Gurrey, Hayley Jensen, Leigh Kasperek, Amelia Kerr, Frances Mackay, Katey Martin, Rosemary Mair, Hannah Rowe, Lea Tahuhu

Clement can soften Lawrence blow by unleashing Rangers’ "beating heart"

Glasgow Rangers will be looking to win three Premiership matches in a row this afternoon as Dundee are the visitors to Ibrox.

Philippe Clement’s men won 1-0 in midweek over Hearts, yet if it were not for some wasteful finishing, they could have easily scored more.

Tom Lawrence had to come off injured against the Jambos, however, and this was the only blemish on a productive evening.

The lack of central midfielders who are fit is worrying and Clement may need to go back to the drawing board.

Rangers team news vs Dundee

The Belgian confirmed that Borna Barisic and Lawrence are both suffering from muscle injuries and they will both be monitored, meaning they could both miss the tie against Dundee if they do not recover in time.

Nicolas Raskin is also missing after his recovery is not going as smoothly as anticipated, while Scott Wright continues to be absent.

Philippe Clement

Ryan Jack has missed the previous few matches with an injury and the weekend clash against the Dens Park outfit could come too quick for him to make a return.

John Lundstram is fit and healthy, and he could be deployed in the engine room, while the 49-year-old can soften the Lawrence blow by unleashing Jose Cifuentes alongside him.

Jose Cifuentes’ season in numbers

It is safe to say the £16k-per-week midfielder has not quite hit the heights expected of him since he made the move to the Light Blues during the summer.

During the embryonic stages of his career, he was praised by journalist Tim Vickery following his displays for Ecuador at the U20 World Cup in 2019, who said: “He was the beating heart of that side and I think he’s a terrific midfielder. He’s strong, he’s got quality, he’s got a good engine – he’s one of the best all-round midfielders, potentially, that I’ve seen come out of South America in a while.”

Across 18 appearances so far this season, however, he has grabbed just one assist and the midfielder needs to be showing more.

The 24-year-old has managed 1.1 shots per game, although he has yet to score for the club, while the Ecuadorian has created two big chances and has an 88% pass success rate, proving that he is showing some signs of his talents.

Although coming into the game as a substitute after Lawrence was taken off in midweek, Cifuentes finished the game with the most pressures (31), counter pressures (seven), and tackles and interceptions (seven) across everyone on the field of play and perhaps there is hope yet that he can become a key member of the team.

These statistics show that he has the engine and dive to put pressure on the opposition in order to win possession back quickly for his side, which can then provide the attackers with more opportunities to work their magic in the final third.

Rangers secured a vital three points against Hearts

ByRoss Kilvington Dec 7, 2023

To do this, however, he will need a consistent run in the starting XI and this means dropping Jack to the bench. The Scot has been solid when carrying out his duties for the Gers this season, yet his constant injury issues may mean he could have to rely on making appearances from the bench when he is fit.

Cifuentes can cement his place in the centre of midfield against Dundee today, and he should take confidence from his midweek performance.

Arsenal’s 5/10 star who lost the ball 16x was as bad Zinchenko vs West Ham

Arsenal’s first home defeat of the season occurred on Thursday evening, as they were beaten 2-0 by a clinical and resilient West Ham United side. A win for the Gunners would have seen them return to the top of the Premier League, however, Mikel Arteta’s side stay in second, two points behind Liverpool.

The opener was scored by Tomas Soucek in the 13th minute after a mess-up between Gabriel and Oleksandr Zinchenko diverted the ball towards Jarrod Bowen, who put it on a plate for the Czech midfielder. The Ukrainian defender was hooked in the second half with the mistake and a lack of concentration earning him a 5/10 rating by football.london.

The second goal came ten minutes after the break, and it was unstoppable. James Ward-Prowse produced one of his trademark corners, which landed perfectly on the head of Konstantinos Mavropanos. The Greek defender unleashed a powerful header that flew in off the bar and the post.

From that point on, West Ham camped inside their own box until the final whistle. However, they could have extended their lead to three if it weren’t for David Raya saving a Said Benrahma penalty with seconds to go.

Arsenal’s stats vs West Ham

From the first whistle, Arsenal dominated the ball and most of the attacking proceedings, yet they failed to get going in an attacking sense until after the half-hour mark, with only three of the nine first-half shots occurring before that point.

Despite that, the Gunners still tallied up 1.11 xG, with Bukayo Saka at the forefront of each attack. Furthermore, other than the goal, which was completely avoidable, the defence easily suppressed the West Ham attack to only three attempts.

The second half couldn’t have started any worse for the hosts, as they went two behind, which allowed David Moyes’ side to drop into an unbreakable low block, which saw their entire team in their own box at times. The Arsenal attackers had no room to work with whatsoever, with most of the second half consisting of an attacker finding half a yard of space and unleashing an attempt at goal, which was either blocked, saved, or off target.

Arsenal tallied up 75% possession, 21 shots, six corners, and 1.57 xG in the second half, but they were unable to break down the stubborn defence, with either poor finishing or decision-making letting them down.

Leandro Trossard’s game by numbers

With Kai Havertz suspended, Leandro Trossard was handed an unfamiliar left-eight role, where he dropped a 5/10 performance, according to football.london. The Belgian winger/centre forward by trade failed to take his chance in the starting XI, with the Athletic’s Arsenal writer Art de Roche highlighting the fact that he was "struggling" in midfield.

Trossard’s main issue was how wasteful he was in the final third, often choosing the wrong pass or erratically shooting instead of finding a teammate in a much better position, as highlighted by the fact he lost the ball 16 times. He also squandered Arsenal's biggest chance of the game, failing to react quickly enough to a Saka shot which rebounded off the post into his path. The stats below sum up his performance.

Overall, it was a night to forget for Arsenal, Arteta, and Trossard, who put on a “below standard” performance, as per Roche. However, playing against such a well-drilled, defensively solid, and physically imposing West Ham has made even the finest attackers in the Premier League crumble and underperform this season.

Escalação do Corinthians: Mancini mantém mistério; veja provável time

MatériaMais Notícias

Na manhã deste sábado, o Corinthians fechou sua preparação para enfrentar o Flamengo, neste domingo, às 16h, no Maracanã. No entanto, o técnico Vagner Mancini manteve alguns mistérios sobre o time titular que entrará em campo pela 36ª rodada do Brasileirão-2020. As dúvidas moram no meio e no ataque.

Para a equipe que começa jogando, a principal incógnita fica por conta do substituto de Gabriel, suspenso pelo terceiro amarelo. O favorito é Xavier, já que sua entrada não mudaria tanto a característica do setor. No entanto, Camacho, Roni e Ramiro podem pintar por ali. Se algum dos três for o escolhido, certamente o meio-campo ficará mais técnico do que combativo.

Como o adversário é o Flamengo, talvez o melhor time do país, e Cantillo não tem a marcação como um de suas melhores virtudes, é possível que Mancini opte mesmo por Xavier, uma vez que contra o Athletico-PR o Timão já sofreu demais, principalmente pelo lado esquerdo, com o colombiano, Otero e Fábio Santos. A tendência é que a marcação seja fortalecida para o jogo de domingo.

Sendo assim, até mesmo Otero pode perder a posição e dar a vaga a Lucas Piton, que contra o Furacão entrou pelo lado esquerdo para reforçar a marcação. O jovem lateral já foi utilizado de forma improvisada na função em outras partidas com Vagner Mancini. Fica a dúvida também para o comando do ataque: Léo Natel continua como “falso 9” ou Jô retoma a titularidade?

Outras possibilidade que se mantêm indefinidas são as presenças de Jemerson e Cazares, que se recuperaram de lesão e voltaram a treinar com o grupo nesta semana. Como o clube não divulga a lista de relacionados, não se sabe se a dupla viaja ou não para o Rio de Janeiro. Caso viaje, a tendência é que ambos fiquem no banco, com maior chance de o meia ser utilizado na partida. Sendo assim, o chileno Araos deve seguir como titular na armação corintiana.

A provável escalação do Corinthians é: Cássio; Fagner, Bruno Méndez, Gil e Fábio Santos; Xavier (Camacho, Roni ou Ramiro) e Cantillo; Gustavo Silva, Araos e Otero (Lucas Piton); Léo Natel (Jô).

Corinthians e Flamengo se enfrentam neste domingo, às 16h, no Maracanã. Atualmente o Timão está na oitava colocação do Brasileirão-2020 com 49 pontos e uma partida a menos. Serão quatro jogos até o fim do campeonato.
