كشفت تقارير صحفية إسبانية، عن انتكاسة في سعي برشلونة لاستعادة ليونيل ميسي من جديد إلى ملعب كامب نو خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية المقبلة.
برشلونة يسعى بكل ما لديه من قوة لعودة ليونيل ميسي الموسم المقبل، بعد نهاية عقده مع باريس سان جيرمان في الصيف، والتأكد من عدم استمراره.
ليونيل رحل عن برشلونة في صيف 2021 إلى باريس سان جيرمان، بسبب عدم قدرة النادي الكتالوني على تجديد عقده، بسبب مشاكل في اللعب المالي النظيف مع الليجا.

وحسب ما أفادت صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية، فإن الدوري الإسباني قرر تأجيل الموافقة على خطوة الجدوى لـ برشلونة، وهو ما يعني انتكاسة كبيرة في إطار سعي البلوجرانا لاستعادة ليونيل ميسي.
في الفترة القليلة الماضية، بدا أن كل شيء يشير إلى أن الليجا ستمنح الضوء الأخضر لـ برشلونة بشأن خطة الجدوى، وهو أمر أساسي للحصول على الدعم المالي من أجل الصفقات الصيفية وتسجيلها.
النادي الإسباني تلقى ردًا من رابطة الليجا، أنه سيتم تأجيل تلك الخطوة، مما يعني أن ميسي سينتظر لمزيد من الوقت للحصول على عرض من برشلونة.
برشلونة يركض عكس عقارب الساعة، ويريد ذلك المشروع الذي من شأنه أن يعيد ليونيل ميسي مرة أخرى إلى الكامب نو، لأن الوضع الاقتصادي سيء في النادي الكتالوني.
برشلونة يثق بأن الليجا ستقبل في النهاية، والعمل على قدم وساق لتنفيذ مشروع الجدوى من أجل استعادة ميسي والتعاقد مع صفقات أخرى في الصيف، لكن التأخير ليس في صالحهم، خاصة وأن ليو لديه عروض أخرى أبرزها من الهلال السعودي.
Ed Cowan confessed to a “pretty flat” net session as Australia trained ahead of the third Test in Sydney

Ed Cowan confessed to a “pretty flat” net session as Australia trained ahead of the third Test in Sydney, and it was hard to escape a sense of New Year’s lethargy around the SCG on the first morning of 2013. Given the injuries and poor results enveloping a bedraggled Sri Lanka, it may be attitude rather than opponent that provides the hosts’ greatest barrier to completing a 3-0 series sweep.As usual, Australia’s search for an exemplar of preparation with purpose did not need to venture far past the captain Michael Clarke, who is no longer in much doubt to play. Fastidious as ever, he completed a fitness test in front of the team physio, Alex Kountouris, comfortably enough, and now appears highly likely to be ready in time to toss the coin on January 3.Clarke and the rest have the motivation provided by Michael Hussey’s final Test – as they did when succumbing to South Africa in Ricky Ponting’s final match – while a schedule warped by the BBL also means this match will be the last chance for many members of the team to play in conditions that will give them some idea of the challenges presented by India in February. The SCG curator Tom Parker’s pitch is well grassed but has time to dry, leaving both sides to consider twin spin.”We have spoken at some length about our determination to make sure we win this series 3-0,” Cowan said. “We experienced some disappointment earlier in the season, and this is us trying to vent that a little bit and we are pretty keen to see Mike off with flying colours.”It’s not like we’re flying out [to India] tomorrow and are dumped in the middle of Hyderabad and told good luck. It’s six weeks [away]. Some guys are going over earlier, there’s going to be a huge amount of preparation time. I’m pretty keen to face spin [in the Sydney Test] if the wicket looks like that, because I don’t think it’s going to turn very much, so if Sri Lanka want to play two spinners that’s probably to our favour.”Hussey’s retirement, alongside Clarke’s flirtation with hamstring trouble, has forced the rest of the team to at least think about walking taller. Such is the paucity of leadership and experience left now that Hussey and Ricky Ponting have both departed that Cowan has been seriously discussed as a potential captain, while even the uncomplicated fast man Peter Siddle fielded questions about his leadership capabilities.”In the Australian cricket team it’s important to have multiple leaders, and not just guys who are captaincy material,” Cowan said. “We’ve seen people like Ponting and Hussey and those kinds of guys set standards around training, around how the team behaves on and off the field. For a strong group, which we aspire to be, you need to have a great captain, and we’ve got that. And you need some guys to step up and take over those responsibilities.”It’s nice to be mentioned, but I don’t think that changes anything about how I try to contribute to the group. From the first day I’ve tried to be myself, and contribute and give to the team and make sure we’re winning Test matches. If there’s 10 or 11 other guys doing that, that’s how culture is built. I believe pretty firmly in that.”Australia’s culture did not look particularly strong on the 2012 ODI tour of England when the team was routed 4-0, when both Ponting (dropped) and Hussey (parental leave) were absent. Cowan acknowledged the hole they left, but argued that in Clarke the team had a captain worth following, and simply needed a new generation to step into the front rank.”You can say what a hole it leaves; it’s pretty obvious. He [Hussey] is a phenomenal player, he’s still playing as well as he ever has, so sure it’s going to leave a hole,” Cowan said. “But the other side is it’s an opportunity for this team to move forward how they want to, be shaped not by the past but have a real crack with a new group shaping a new Australian cricket team.”That’s exciting, and it has to be. If we don’t think that’s exciting then we’ve got an issue. I think we’re inspired by the way the captain preforms. I think we’re inspired by the way he goes about his business and gives of himself to the group, and so he’s the guy who we’ll continue to look to. And he’s excited by it, so if he’s excited I think you’ll see a whole group of merry men following.”One area in which Cowan is seeking to improve in Sydney is to not allow himself to be distracted by a dismissal, as he admitted took place when Phillip Hughes was run out late on Boxing Day. There, Cowan lost focus, and nicked a skittish cut shot to slip to be out for 36 – the sort of middling score he needs to build on more often.”On reflection, it probably did [affect me]. It shouldn’t have, I was disappointed that it probably did,” Cowan said. “It was one of those moments when you’re travelling nicely in your own little bubble and controlling the game, and then when that bubble breaks momentarily it’s hard to get back into it quickly when your emotions are flying around.”In terms of learning, that’s what I took out of the last innings, not letting little situations like that take their toll.”
A wrap of the opening day of the second round of Ranji Trophy matches in Group A
ESPNcricinfo staff09-Nov-2012 Scorecard Hrishikesh Kanitkar scored his third centuries in the last three matches against Mumbai•Rajasthan Cricket Association
Hrishikesh Kanitkar and Vineet Saxena continued their domination of the most successful Ranji side, Mumbai, with centuries that took the defending champions Rajasthan to 269 for 2. Along the way Kanitkar also crossed 10,000 first-class runs, while Saxena went past his 5000th.Mumbai managed to get captain Kanitkar out before stumps, but their 220-run partnership made the Mumbai attack look weak, especially in the absence of Ajit Agarkar. With these centuries, the records of Kanitkar and Saxena in the last three matches against Mumbai became all the more daunting. As a Rajasthan player, Kanitkar has played three matches against Mumbai, and scored 113, 141 and 119 in this match. In the same matches, Saxena has piled on 143, 53 and 4, and 114 not out in this game.Mumbai tried seven bowlers, but only Kshemal Waingankar and Ankeet Chavan managed a wicket each. Scorecard The resilient lower middle order of Bengal bailed them out against a Punjab attack that looked like pushing towards a second straight position of dominance. Led by Manpreet Gony and Sandeep Sharma, they had reduced Bengal to 118 for 5, but ran into Wriddhiman Saha and Laxmi Shukla, who added 124 for the sixth wicket.This was a third half-century in three innings this season for Saha, who finished unbeaten on 75. Shukla, who played his part with both bat and ball in the previous game, provided him able support, and Punjab had to wait for 36.2 overs for the sixth wicket. Debutant Arnab Nandi then added 33 with Saha to further frustrate, but parity was restored with Nandi’s wicket with the last ball of the 87th over. Scorecard They were three bad-light interruptions in Hyderabad, the third one ending the day with only 54 overs bowled, but there was time enough for Hyderabad to get off to a usual ordinary start, and VVS Laxman to find a partner and put up a usual rearguard.Hyderabad lost their openers with only 22 runs on the board, but Laxman and the 19-year-old Hanuma Vihari then kept the MP attack at bay. Vihari finished the day five short of his personal best, and Laxman’s 70 even inculded a six. He hit only five sixes in Tests. Scorecard In the Gujarat derby, Gujarat gained the upper hand against Saurashtra on a day in which the balance of power shifted more than once. Saurashtra took two early wickets to make it 62 for 2, but the Patels, Smit and Parthiv, both wicketkeepers too, scored aggressive fifties only for Ravindra Jadeja to dismiss them within three overs to put the game in balance again at 148 for 4.From there on then, youngsters Manprit Juneja and Bhargav Merai put Gujarat in ascendency with a partnership of 82. Merai, playing his second game, missed out on a maiden first-class fifty, but Juneja seemed on the way to what could be his second century in only his fourth match. Juneja also found support from No. 7 Rujul Bhatt, with whom he added an unbeaten 48 before stumps.
Sylhet Royals bludgeoned their way to a fifth consecutive win, beating Chittagong Kings by three wickets
Mohammad Isam at the MA Aziz Stadium28-Jan-2013 ScorecardSylhet Royals bludgeoned their way to a fifth consecutive win, beating Chittagong Kings by three wickets, to increase their lead at the top of the table.Paul Stirling, Mohammad Nabi and finally Elton Chigumbura, with 31 off 17 balls, batted aggressively to take the Royals to victory with three balls to spare. The win silenced a sell-out crowd at the MA Aziz Stadium, but part from disappointing the home support it is the sort of cricket that the BPL requires to bring in more crowds.Stirling started the chase by going across the line a number of times in his 25-ball 38 before getting run out after a mix-up with Nabi. Stirling had earlier survived a chance off a top edge that was dropped after Ravi Bopara and Naeem Islam collided at mid-on.Nabi made up for his error by hitting consecutive sixes soon after in a vital 43 off 26 balls. But the chase came down to Chigumbura and the Zimbabwean made the difference with his three sixes, shepherding the finish with Suhrawadi Shuvo who crunched a boundary to complete the victory.Earlier, Naeem anchored the Kings innings to make a career-best 72 off 52 balls with nine boundaries showing he could adapt after remodelling his game to suit longer versions. Naeem and Ravi Bopara added 78 for the first wicket before the Kings started to lose regular wickets. Ryan ten Doeschate made 21 off 10 balls towards the end to prop up the total, which seemed to be enough on a slow wicket.But the wickedly fast outfield, with barren patches around the rope, played a role as the Royals used their power to good effect. For the Kings it continued their problems at home and this was their third loss in four matches.

Essex chose to bat out their innings and set Hampshire a target of 425 to stay in the hunt for promotion before claiming three late wickets

Finding a modern-day captain who is prepared to make an adventurous declaration, even in the lee of the stand at West End named after Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie, the most cavalier leader of them all, is near impossible. James Foster, who himself contributed significantly to a fine recovery by Essex, preferred to allow his side’s second innings to run its course. Hampshire, who must win this match to stand a chance of promotion, were left to make 425 to win.Not that this appeared to be of over-riding concern when Hampshire’s first three wickets fell for 23: two of these dismissals self-induced and the third, that of Simon Katich, to a decent first ball from Maurice Chambers that moved away and took the outside edge. Michael Carberry had swung Reece Topley to long leg and Bilal Shafayat, who will be lucky to gain a new contract at the end of the season, was taken at the wicket through indecision. Chambers was maintaining a good off-stump line to both left- and right-handers.All on a a pitch on which Essex had just made 473. Still, the strong likelihood was that Hampshire would not make so many runs in the final innings – they did reach a target of 446 to beat Gloucestershire in 1990, but that was at Northlands Road – but Foster chose not to close the innings. His side, after all, had been put in to bat on a green pitch and, having been dismissed for 180, doubtless reckoned not to give their opponents a semblance of a chance. Besides, there were still three and a half sessions remaining and he was evidently prepared to take his chances with the weather.Foster’s approach is the modern way. He will have appreciated that the pitch is considerably easier to bat on now – Hampshire’s seamers again looked too one-paced – and assuming the remaining upper order fare rather better than Carberry, Shafayat and Katich, Essex may be dependent on the degree of turn Tom Craddock can extract after several dry and even hot days on the south coast. The batsmen will have no option other than to try to take him on.Someone will have to bat just about as well as Owais Shah did for the second day in succession. Resuming on 124, he soon surpassed his highest score for Essex, 138 against Glamorgan at Colchester last month, and appeared quite likely to reach the best score of his career, 203 in his Middlesex days. He duly reached 150, off 248 balls with 27 fours and a six, but then, 11 runs later, was caught at the wicket aiming a distinctly tired drive.This must count as one of the best innings of a career that now embraces IPL commitments. He will be 34 next month and has few thoughts of an England recall. After he was out, the nightwatchman, Craddock, having already departed, Ryan ten Doeschate heightened the rate of scoring with 69 off 61 balls and Foster swung two sixes off Liam Dawson, who had plenty of bowling to do in the absence of Danny Briggs. Essex had quite sufficient runs by now but chose to bat on, and on. Maybe, in fairness to Foster, tiredness after a long haul in the field also contributed to the Hampshire dismissals.
Peter Fulton’s twin centuries put him in rare company as he became the fourth New Zealand batsman to complete this feat

It has been a magical few days for New Zealand opening batsman Peter Fulton•Getty Images
It has been an extraordinary few days in the life of Peter Fulton. A maiden Test hundred on Friday, then another century to make it back-to-back tons in the same match on Monday, then being included in a tweet by John Key, New Zealand’s Prime Minister.His post had gone unnoticed by Fulton, until it was mentioned after play. “I’m not on Twitter,” he said. “I hadn’t heard that. I guess that’s one to cross off the list.”In front of his parents, and an increasingly large band of supporters, Fulton wrote himself a place in New Zealand’s history books with a crunching straight six off Stuart Broad, to become just the fourth New Zealand batsman – after Glenn Turner, Geoff Howarth and Andrew Jones – to score twin hundreds in a Test. Small boundaries or not, it was a mighty blow with which to reach a landmark.His second fifty took 41 balls, as the confidence and adrenalin surged through him. Gone was the understandable nervousness of his maiden hundred, during which he sweated on 99 for 10 balls, with his last 36 runs taking 143 balls. The situation had changed, and so did the batsman, which showed that Fulton is not just someone to grind out an innings. An over against Monty Panesar changed the tempo as he took the left-arm spinner for 14 off three deliveries. From then he was unstoppable, until clubbing to long-on for 110.”I thought if he [Broad] pitches it up, I’m going to try and hit it back over his head,” he said. “It’s just one of those things, I just wanted to get there and make sure we kept being aggressive. I didn’t want to slow down too much looking for a personal milestone.””The first innings was a bit nervy, and I’d decided when we came out after lunch that I’d just play the same way as I had before, regardless of what score I was on. It made for slightly less of a nerve racking time for myself anyway.”Early on during the onslaught, Matt Prior thought it was a decent time to mention the lack of runs Fulton had scored through the off side – in the first innings he made 107 of his 136 on the leg side, second time around it was a 64-46 split. There were not many words from the England team when he launched a skimming flat six over long-off against James Anderson.”I guess everyone would like to be able to score to all parts of the ground, but you’ve got to make do with what you’ve got,” he said. “I can play through the off side, but I guess I’ve already been out three times trying to play through the off side in the series. It’s probably a bit silly to keep trying to flog a dead horse. It was nice once I’d got myself in to play a few through the off side. I’m not really too bothered where they come, or what direction they go in, as long as I get them.””The situation of the game helped, it’s a bit tougher to play like that on day one. You hit one straight up in the air, and you get castigated for it. It was nice to show a few people, who don’t watch a lot of domestic cricket, that I can bat like that, and adapt to the situation.”Fulton has helped give the team stability in an area they had floundered for a long time. Hundreds by openers had become a collector’s item, and now there are three in a series for only the second time for New Zealand. Fulton’s part could so easily have not happened, at the age of 34, especially after a knee injury in South Africa curtailed his first attempt at a comeback late last year. “Hopefully it proves if you keep sticking at it, and you don’t lose faith in yourself, then good things can happen.”
