تحدث ياسين منصور، نائب رئيس مجلس إدارة النادي الأهلي، عن كواليس عودته للعمل داخل القلعة الحمراء، ورؤيته لتطوير المنظومة الإدارية والرياضية.
وقال ياسين منصور في تصريحات عبر برنامج “الحكاية”، على قناة “mbc masr”: “سر عودتك للنادي الأهلي؟ هذا حب أو كما يُقال (القلب وما يريد) الحقيقة أنني في الأهلي ربما بدأت مشواري في المجلس مع الكابتن صالح سليم – رحمه الله – ثم مع الكابتن حسن حمدي، ثم رحلت، ثم عدت في شركة الكرة، ثم غادرتها”.
وواصل: “وبعد ما حدث للكابتن الخطيب – بسبب حالته الصحية، نسأل الله أن يشفيه – جاء إلي وتحدثنا، فقلت له: الله، انظر.. إذا كنت ستنزل فأنا سأنزل معك نائبًا، وإذا لم تنزل فسأنزل أنا رئيسًا للنادي الأهلي، لكنني أفضل أن تكون موجودًا كرئيس للنادي”.
وتابع: “لأنني أيضًا لم أكن يومًا نائب رئيس، فأريد أن أرى كيف يسير المكتب التنفيذي، فالنادي الأهلي منظومة رائعة بالفعل، وأنا أرى أن وقت التطوير قد حان، وهذا سبب دخولي النادي، فهناك، في الحقيقة، أمور كثيرة جدًا يمكن القيام بها”.
وباغته الإعلامي عمرو أديب بتعليق: “لازلت تتحدث عن تطوير الأهلي والزمالك ليس قادرًا على الحصول على الأرض”، ليرد عليه نائب رئيس النادي الأهلي ضاحكًا: “هذا موضوعكم أنتم، أما نحن فسنواصل العمل”.

وواصل: “طبعًا كرة القدم في مصر – بشكل عام – تشهد حالة من الفوضى، وتواجه مشاكل كبيرة جدًا، فعلى سبيل المثال، النادي الأهلي أنشأ أكثر من شركة، لكن فكرة إنشاء مثلًا شركة الكرة أصبحت منتشرة الآن، ففي الوقت الحالي ريال مدريد يُنشئ شركة كرة”.
ليعلق أديب ساخرًا: “نعم، ريال مدريد يقلد الأهلي” فيرد عليه منصور مازحًا: “نعم، يقلد الأهلي.. هذا هو الواقع، وقد أرسلوا لنا أشخاصًا ليروا التجربة الأهلاوية، وسيصلون قريبًا”.
واختتم: “شركة الكرة أمر بالغ الأهمية، فمن المفترض في أوروبا أن تمثل تذاكر المباريات دخلاً للأندية يتراوح بين 25% و30%، لكن التذاكر هنا لا تمثل 1% حتى من دخل النادي الأهلي، رغم أن التذاكر رخيصة”.
There was a common theme in the four wild-card series games that kicked off Major League Baseball's postseason on Tuesday. Three of the four winning sides received dominant pitching from their southpaw starters and the fourth benefitted from a very serviceable effort as well.
Detroit's Tarik Skubal got the ball rolling by striking out 14 and holding the Guardians to a single run in 7 2/3 innings. Chicago's Matt Boyd left his start in the fifth inning down 1-0 but the Cubs rallied for a victory. Garrett Crochet matched Skubal's line with three fewer strikeouts during a 117-pitch masterpiece. Dodgers ace Blake Snell put a capper on the night by taking care of the Reds with seven innings of two-run ball.
All told, lefty starters threw 28 2/3 innings while surrendering five earned runs and racking up 36 punchouts. In the cases of Skubal and Crochet, the electricity of their performances were through the roof and a reminder that both have a reasonable case to claim the title of best arm in baseball.
The quartet of performances led MLB Network analyst Chris Young to offer up a take that might be hard to completely fact-check yet seems legit.
"Today was the best day ever that I've seen with left-handed starting pitching," he said.
Young then asked purists to go back through the record books and prove him wrong.
On its surface what he's saying holds some water. Especially if extra weight is given to the magnitude of the games being played. It helps a lot that the baseball playoffs have expanded to the point where there are four games per day in the earlier rounds yet doesn't diminish the accomplishments.

TORONTO — There is a laundry list of problems the Seattle Mariners will take into Game 7 of the American League Championship Series tonight. They have struck out almost twice as many times as the Blue Jays (62–34). They don’t win when they don’t hit a home run (13–30 in 173 games this year). And they must win in the toughest place to win this year in the AL.
None of those issues are their biggest problem. The Mariners have a Vlad problem.
To go to their first World Series, they must figure out how to pitch to a smoking hot Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who is having a postseason for the ages. So hot is Guerrero that the best course of action for Seattle pitchers is to swallow their pride and pitch around him in any spot with a smidgen of meaning.
No offense to Alejandro Kirk, who is swinging a hot bat behind him right now, but there is no way the Mariners can go home allowing Guerrero even a chance of beating them. You pitch to him every time in Game 7 as if there are two outs and first base open. He is that good and that hot.
In a too-easy 6–2 victory over a tight Seattle team Sunday (three errors, three double plays grounded into and 13 strikeouts), Guerrero’s night went like this:
Popped out for only the second time this postseason.Grounded out on a slider on one of the seven hardest hard balls he has hit all year (116 mph).Ripped a curveball for a home run.Shot a classic “how-dare-you” look at the Mariners’ dugout upon scoring after they hit him with a pitch.Hit a sinker twice for a single—once as it broke his bat on the handle and again, on the carom, with his barrel.
“He came in the dugout and said, ‘I hit that twice,’” said Toronto center fielder Dalton Varsho. “That’s how hot he is. He knew he hit it twice.
“It’s amazing to watch this. He’s hitting everything right now. It doesn’t matter where they pitch him—in, out, up or down—and what they pitch him. I mean, he’s so hot right now they flipped him a curveball out of nowhere and he’s on time and hits it out.”
The Mariners have thrown him 77 pitches in this series. Only two have been curveballs. He smoked one for a double and whacked the other for a homer to end the night of a wholly ineffective Logan Gilbert, Seattle’s Game 6 starter.

Seattle quashed Guerrero in Games 1 and 2, getting him on the ground six times in seven hitless at-bats. The Mariners pounded him with right-handed sinkers away. Before Game 3, Guerrero made an adjustment to catch the ball slightly deeper on its way to the plate and to elevate it.
Since then, he is 10-for-17 (.588) with three homers, three doubles and 13 times on base in four games. In the past two games Seattle has tried to pitch him in; that worked no better.
With a PlayStation postseason slash line of .462/.532/1.000, Guerrero is carving a place for himself among the Mount Rushmore of great postseasons in the expanded playoff era. Take your pick from among Reggie Jackson (1978), Barry Bonds (2002), David Ortiz (2004 and 2013), Carlos Beltran (2004) and Yordan Alvarez (2023), but you better have Guerrero in your top four.
Shohei Ohtani, of course, set the postseason afire with his one-man show in NLCS Game 4. But let that not diminish the history in the making by Guerrero, who is having an October of pure hitting excellence like we’ve never seen. He is the first player in the postseason to hit six home runs with only two strikeouts. The fewest strikeouts while hitting six homers in the postseason was six, by Albert Pujols in 2004.
Guerrero has seen 144 pitches in the postseason and swung and missed only nine times on 58 swings. How in the world do you slug 1.000 make contact on 84% of your swings against the best pitchers of the best teams in the most important and most heavily scouted time of year?
A better question was put to Seattle manager Dan Wilson. It was as brief as it was obvious: “What do you do about Vladdy?”
It seemed mostly a rhetorical question, like asking a farmer what you do about a drought or a Manhattan taxi driver about traffic. You bear the misery, is what you do.
Wilson’s answer was perfectly euphemistic: “He’s someone that you have to take note of and that’s for us to do going forward.”
Take note, yes. Paul Revere once took note of the British coming. Guerrero is that dangerous right now. It’s hard to imagine the Blue Jays imaginedwhen they signed him to a 14-year, $500-million extension this year to keep him away from free agency. Your most restful night of sleep could not dream a postseason like this. But the contract did remove the usual “where-is-he-going-and-how-much-will-he-get” parlor game nonsense that is for elite free agents. (Hello, Kyle Tucker and the Cubs.) And it did validate Vladdy, even in his own mind, that he is the rare kind of player who can not only carry a team but also welcome the responsibility to do so.
“I've seen him embrace being the face of the franchise,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said.
Tonight the Mariners will play their first Game 7 in franchise history. (The Blue Jays have played one, losing in the 1985 ALCS.) There has never been a postseason game to decide the pennant among two teams with a combined wait for one that is this long: 81 years of waiting for the World Series.
This is a series that has whipsawed back and forth in terms of the upper hand, so Seattle can flip it back in its favor to finally retire its status as Only Franchise Never to Have Won a Pennant. But to do so, the Mariners likely must hit two homers (because as Game 6 reminded us with three rally-killing double plays, they are awful at situational hitting) and they must get starting pitcher George Kirby through 18 batters with the game still tight to make use of their bullpen advantage.
Above all their musts, the most pressing one is an answer to that postgame question to Wilson: “What do you do about Vladdy?”
The Houston Astros' battery of Framber Valdez and César Salazar were not on the same page during Tuesday night's 7-1 loss to the New York Yankees, leading to a strange moment. In the top of the fifth inning and facing a bases-loaded situation, Salazar tried at the last moment to get his lefthanded pitcher to step off the rubber instead of delivering a pitch but his desperate motioning was ignored as Valdez continued his delivery. The offering resulted in a Trent Grisham grand slam that ultimately put the game out of reach.
The next Yankees hitter up was Anthony Volpe and Valdez delivered a straight pitch when his catcher was expecting something with some bend in it, which caused a dangerous situation.
Now, cross-ups are fairly common in baseball. Considering the circumstances, though, people were left to wonder if something unusual was happening.
Valdez made it clear that this miscommunication was not intentional.
"What happened with us, we just got crossed up," Valdez said in Spanish through an interpreter after the game. "I called for that pitch, I threw it and we got crossed up. We went down to the dugout and I excused myself with him and I said sorry to him and I take full responsibility for that."
"We were able to talk through it," he added. "We spoke after the game … at his locker and everything's good between us. It's just stuff that happens in baseball. But yeah, we talked through it and we're good."
Salazar said after the game that crowd noise led to the mix-up:
All's well that ends well and it's a good thing Salazar wasn't injured. The Astros seem bound for the playoffs and it will be important everyone's on the same page going forward.

Aaron: Sai Sudharsan ‘definitely’ in if there’s vacancy in India’s T20I side
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan (GT)
Last year, in Wriddhiman Saha’s absence, GT briefly tried out Sai Sudharsan to open with Gill, and it worked. The pair crossed fifty in all three innings they opened together. Building on that, GT have stuck with the same opening combination this season and it’s paid off.A standout feature of their campaign has been the ability of the openers to bat deep. Only once this season have both fallen inside the first ten overs. While the duo may not be ultra-aggressive in their approach, their consistency has been key to GT’s success in IPL 2025.Phil Salt and Virat Kohli have been consistent this season•Getty ImagesVirat Kohli and Phil Salt (RCB)
Ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, RCB released their captain and opener Faf du Plessis and invested INR 11.5 crore in bagging Salt. The move paid immediate dividends. In the season opener, Salt and Kohli stitched together a 95-run stand off just 51 balls, taking the sting out of Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) 175-run target. While they’ve occasionally been separated early, the duo has consistently provided rapid starts, often putting RCB in commanding positions within the powerplay.Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya, the uncapped PBKS wunderkinds•AFP/Getty Images

Two uncapped Indians walking out to open an IPL innings is usually the result of an emergency – injuries, loss of form, or last-minute reshuffles. But PBKS placed their trust in Prabhsimran, a retained player, and Arya, an IPL debutant, and they have been vindicated. Though their aggressive style has often led to brisk but brief partnerships, they did demonstrate impressive composure in a rain-affected clash against KKR. On a slow Eden Gardens wicket, the duo stitched a 120-run stand off 72 balls, pacing their innings smartly and choosing their moments to attack.Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram have been dominant up top•Associated Press

LSG went into IPL 2025 with an overseas-heavy top order. Marsh, despite having limited experience as an IPL opener, was up and running as he scored more fifties in his first five outings this season than he did in his previous eight campaigns combined. Markram took a few matches to find his rhythm but has since added four fifties to his name. While their scoring rate has been modest, the duo has brought a measure of reliability to LSG’s top order.Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma haven’t found their golden touch from last season•AFP/Getty Images
Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
It was the ‘Travishek’ pair that transformed SRH’s fortunes in IPL 2024. They picked up from where they left off with a 45-run blitz in just 19 balls in their season opener this year. But over the next four games, oppositions have found early breakthroughs, dismissing one of them inside the first three overs. A glimpse of their last year’s form came against PBKS at home, where they put on a 171-run stand off just 75 balls during a chase of 246. Outside of such flashes, they’ve struggled to produce consistent partnerships this season.
England were kept on the field for 143 overs in the second innings as teams head to The Oval with India trailing 2-1

Manjrekar: ‘Warriors’ keep sprouting for India when needed
An epic series will be decided at The Oval. England lead 2-1 after 20 tense days of Test cricket but were denied a decisive win by five sessions of doughty, determined batting in which India lost only two wickets. Not even Ben Stokes, battling cramp and a shoulder injury, could pull this one off, and was forced to settle for only the second draw of his captaincy tenure.India were 1 for 2 at lunch on the fourth day, frazzled after more than 150 overs in the field, and still trailing by over 300 runs. But Shubman Gill’s new-look side underlined their character with two mammoth, match-saving partnerships – Gill put on 188 with KL Rahul, and Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja put on an unbroken 203 – to ensure India escaped with a draw.Related

India's grit outlasts England's endurance to make 2-2 a possibility
They can no longer win the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, but will travel down to London on Monday battered, bruised and bullish. India’s batters not only saved this match, but ground England’s bowlers down: they spent 257.1 overs in the field in Manchester, including 143 in the second innings, and now face a three-day turnaround before Thursday’s fifth Test.The finale was farcical: Stokes offered a draw at the start of the last hour but Gill had no interest, instead allowing his two allrounders to complete their centuries. England were incensed, serving up some 35mph/56kmph lobs, but India’s players celebrated on the balcony as their batters filled their boots.”It’s going to happen in a flurry, lads,” Ben Duckett had promised his team-mates during the second session. In fact, it never happened at all. It was long established that no captain had ever won a Test match at Old Trafford after winning the toss and choosing to bowl; Stokes asked his team to defy history, but they could not.It was Gill who had walked in to face a hat-trick ball in the first over of India’s second innings shortly before lunch on the fourth day. When he walked back off just over 24 hours later, he had become only the third man to score four hundreds in a Test series as captain, going past 700 runs for the tour. Every time he has reached 20, he has gone on to score a century.1:19
Harmison: ‘A little bit farcical towards the end’
He was supported by two marathon efforts from his spin-bowling allrounders. Washington batted at No. 8 in the first innings but was promoted to No. 5 after Rishabh Pant’s injury, and made his maiden Test hundred, while Jadeja capped his stellar series with the bat. Much as it frustrated England, both players deserved centuries, and had earned the right to make them.Stokes’ bowling fitness was uncertain overnight: he did not bowl at all on the fourth day after a heavy workload in the series – and a five-wicket haul in the first innings – having retired hurt during his century. But he shared the old ball with Liam Dawson early in the day and threatened to break the game open, creating two early chances in an eight-over spell.He grimaced after every ball he bowled and repeatedly stretched out his right shoulder, but Stokes bowled with good pace and found variable bounce on a good length outside the right-handers’ off stump. He had Gill dropped early on, Ollie Pope failing to cling on to a stinger at short cover, but then trapped Rahul on the back pad to have him lbw for 90.It was a brilliant spell, one which exposed just how much England had missed his bowling on the fourth evening. Stokes was in pain, then inflicted some on his opposite number: he found some steep bounce to strike Gill on the helmet – via the glove – with a lifter which exploded from a good length.3:12
‘Would they have walked off?’ – Gambhir on Stokes’ draw offer
But Gill pressed on, steering Chris Woakes through the off side then yelping in celebration as he brought up his fourth century of the tour. His dismissal, edging Jofra Archer behind, represented an opening, not least when Jadeja edged his first ball to first slip. But Joe Root put the catch down, and England hardly created another chance all day.Dawson wheeled away for 47 overs in the second innings and bowled tightly, but rarely threatened the edge, and the seamers had nothing to work with: Archer exchanged tense words with his captain over a field change, Woakes bowled slower balls into the rough, Brydon Carse was hardly seen, and Stokes bowled only three overs after lunch.Jadeja and Washington had 89 and 80, respectively, when Stokes offered a draw, but Gill looked out steadfastly through the dressing-room window. It prompted Brook to bowl some filth, and both batters reached three figures off his bowling: Jadeja roared in celebration on reaching his by lofting a straight six, while Washington raised his arms as he sauntered back for two.It made for a strange end to a compelling Test match. Only 24 wickets fell across the five days, and the finish was an anti-climax. But the fraying tempers were the result of India’s resistance across five sessions of determined batting. It seemed unfathomable on Saturday afternoon, but they will head to The Oval believing that they can snatch a series draw.

Green was on 63 when he survived a confident lbw appeal from Neser, and he was on 74 when Gurinder Sandhu’s lbw shout fell on deaf ears.Queensland’s pace attack tried their best to put the squeeze on, but Green managed to survive the tough period to push closer to his century.

Arsenal defeated rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in the North London Derby, and there was some controversy on display during a pulsating affair, with one particular matter piquing the interest of Mark Goldbridge.
The Gunners went into the clash knowing that a victory would put them six points clear of Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table, while Spurs had the opportunity to move into the top four.
On this occasion, Mikel Arteta was able to claim a valuable triumph against Thomas Frank’s side, beginning with a deflected Leandro Trossard strike before Eberechi Eze enhanced his reputation as a Gunners’ fan favourite with a brace at the Emirates Stadium, the second of which coming just after the interval.
Spurs rallied in the second half, and Richarlison’s long-range strike caught out David Raya in stunning fashion. However, the home side had already done more than enough to secure the victory beforehand, keeping their charge for the title well and truly on track.
Eze completed his hat-trick in the 76th minute, earning derby folklore status after joining Arsenal despite interest from Tottenham during the summer window to complete a 4-1 rout.
Next time out, Arsenal face the small matter of taking on Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium, pitting two of Europe’s heavyweights against each other in the capital on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, Tottenham face the unenviable task of going to Paris Saint-Germain, presenting a challenge of great might against the reigning Champions League holders.

Thrills and spills underpinned another pulsating affair between both sides, though it wasn’t an evening that was short of controversy, which is usually the case with both sides fighting tooth and nail for local bragging rights.
With that in mind, Goldbridge took to social media to point out something he believes VAR missed during a dramatic affair at the home of the Gunners.
Mark Goldbridge takes aim at VAR during Arsenal vs Spurs
Taking to X, Goldbridge took issue with Eze’s first goal being allowed after two Arsenal players were in the line of Guglielmlo Vicario’s sight as he struck sweetly into the bottom corner.
In theory, Goldbridge has a point, given that Virgil Van Dijk saw a goal ruled out in similar circumstances during Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat against Manchester City before the international break.
Nevertheless, there is an argument to be had as to whether either player is actually preventing Vicario from saving Eze’s strike, something that is likely to dominate headlines over the next few days after a momentous victory for the Gunners.
Either way, Arsenal appear to be in fine fettle and have taken command of their mission to claim a first Premier League title since 2004, which is becoming more likely with every passing week.
