Los Angeles: Ryan Crouser mencipta permulaan sensasi 2021 dengan memecahkan rekod dunia acara lontar peluru dalam dewan dan kemudiannya melakukan lontaran kedua terjauh dalam sejarah di Kejohanan Liga Trek Amerika Syarikat di Fayetteville awal pagi tadi.
Juara Olimpik Rio 2016 itu mencipta rekod baharu dengan lontaran sejauh 22.82 meter pada pusingan pertama kejohanan. Catatan itu 16 sentimeter mengatasi rekod dalam dewan sebelum itu milik atlet senegara, Randy Barnes 32 tahun lalu.
”Saya boleh katakan ini permulaan sangat baik untuk 2021,’ kata Crouser selepas lontaran pertamanya, ”tetapi saya ada lima lagi percubaan, jadi saya akan terus mencuba.”
Jaguh dari Amerika Syarikat berusia 28 tahun itu kemudiannya mencatat lontaran 22.70m pada pusingan ketiga untuk sekali lagi mengatasi rekod milik Barnes iaitu 22.66 meter yang dilakukan pada 1989.
Crouser turut mencipta beberapa lontaran hebat pada pusingan akhir termasuk melakukan 22.48m. Hanya dua atlet yang mengatasi catatan itu dalam sejarah kejohanan selain dia turut mencatat 21.03 meter di pusingan kedua.
MANCHESTER – Liverpool takluk 2-3 dari Manchester United di babak keempat Piala FA 2020-2021 yang digelar di Stadion Old Trafford, Senin (25/1/2021) dini hari WIB. Meski secara statistik lebih unggul, The Reds –julukan Liverpool– gagal menumbangkan Man United di Old Trafford.
Secara penguasaan bola, Liverpool lebih unggul dengan dominasi mencapai 58,4 persen. Selain itu, Mohamed Salah dan kawan-kawan juga melepaskan enam shot on target, sama persis dengan Man United.
Hanya saja, Man United lebih pintar dalam memanfaatkan peluang. Dari enam shot on target, tiga di antaranya masuk ke gawang Liverpool kawalan Alisson Becker.
Gol-gol Man United dilesakkan Mason Greenwood pada menit 26, Marcus Rashford (48’) dan Bruno Fernandes (78’). Sementara itu, dua gol Liverpool dilesakkan Mohamed Salah pada menit 18 dan 59.
Kelar pertandingan, fans Liverpool pun terpecah. Ada yang ikhlas Liverpool tersingkir dari Piala FA, namun ada juga yang tidak.
Fans yang ikhlas berpendapat, kekalahan ini membuat Liverpool dapat mematangkan fokus ke dua kompetisi yang tim mereka bidik setiap musim, yakni Liga Inggris dan Liga Champions.
Luiz Suarez, the ultimate footballing villain, the dirtiest player in the game and the supremely gifted striker has just turned 34.
His career has been been full of highs and lows. For each breathtaking goal, there has been an epic controversy, for each trophy, a disciplinary issue.
However, one thing is for sure. Players like Suarez do not come around often. To toast his mercurial talent, 90min decided to remember the five best moments of his career… so far.
Before he became a household name across Europe, Suarez cut his teeth in the Eredivisie.
An impressive spell at Groningen convinced Ajax to sign him on a five-year contract in 2007 and it did not take him long to start turning heads.
In his first two seasons for de Godenzonen, he managed 17 and 22 goals respectively, racking up a similar number of assists in each campaign as well.
However, Suarez saved his very best form for the 2009/2010 term. That season he managed a ridiculous 49 goals and 24 assists in just 48 games. That averages out as 1.5 goal involvements per appearance. Truly staggering numbers.
Uruguay were far from favourites going into the 2011 Copa America.
Despite possessing a squad containing the likes of Edinson Cavani, Diego Godin and an ageing Diego Forlan, Argentina and Brazil both boasted shorter odds with bookies around the world.
With the help of an in-form Suarez though, La Celeste managed to win their first continental trophy in 16 years.
Their star striker played in all six games, bagging both goals in a 2-0 semi-final win over Peru. His heroics continued in the final against Paraguay as well, where he scored and assisted as his side strolled to a 3-0 win.
Unsurprisingly, he was named player of the tournament.
Prior to Jurgen Klopp side’s incredible feats, the closest Liverpool had come to ending their top-flight title drought came during the 2013/2014 season.
Now, this Reds’ team was nowhere near as well drilled as Klopp’s charges, but in Suarez they possessed one of the most irresistible game changers in Premier League history.
During that campaign, Suarez hit 31 goals and racked up 17 assists in just 35 games. This included two hat-tricks and four goals in one game against poor old Norwich City.
His otherworldly form lifted Liverpool to the top of the table, three points clear of their closest rivals with three games to play. Although it did not end well, Reds fans will always remember Suarez as the man who dared them to dream.
Without Suarez, Barcelona would not have won the treble in the 2014/2015 season.
It was not just the sheer volume of his contribution – he registered 48 goal involvements in just 43 games – but also his knack for popping up at decisive moments.
He bagged a brace in the round of 16 and quarter-final stages of the Champions League, as well as scoring in the final, and also provided an assist in the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao.
Elsewhere, he scored the winner in the second Clasico of the season, a result that provided Barça with the momentum to get over the line.
Over the course of this article, we have already dropped some mind-bendingly excellent stats, but they all pale into insignificance when compared to Suarez’s 2015/2016 season.
Following up a treble-winning campaign was always going to be hard for Barça. Although his team would only return two trophies that term, Suarez’s personal performance reached new heights.
By the time he went on his summer holidays, the Uruguayan had scored 59 goals in 53 games in all competition. Not impressive enough for you? How about we add his 24 assists into the mix as well?
This campaign was Suarez at his absolute best. No defender in world football could deal with his movement, and goalkeeper’s lay awake at night worrying about having to face him one-on-one.
If you do one thing today, go and check out a goal compilation from that season on YouTube. We promise you will not be disappointed.
根据卫报记者Paul?MacInnes的报道，热刺主帅穆里尼奥再次警告从皇马租借回归热刺的威尔士前锋加雷思-贝尔，他不能在球场上浪费时间，因为他自从回归热刺之后一直在为一线队的位置而努力奋斗。
报道称，贝尔可能会在对阵韦康比的足总杯比赛中出场，但是这名31岁的前锋最近的出场时间非常少，过去两个月只踢了45分钟的比赛。这名威尔士人回归热刺之后，曾经因他的态度而受到穆里尼奥的赞扬。但是穆里尼奥在足总杯赛前发表了更为尖锐的评论，建议贝尔在赢得位置之前必须在训练中证明自己。
“我不能给球员们出场时间—他们在场上的时间不是我给的。”穆里尼奥说，“我们都知道贝尔过去几个赛季经历的困难，都知道他是带伤加盟的热刺，也知道即使是这个赛季（他）也会因为一些小事而有点起起伏伏。”
“对他来说最重要的是在训练中保持稳定，能够在高强度的训练课中不出现任何问题。当一个球员达到这个标准的时候，那么他就准备好了，不是为了得到时间，而是为了赢得时间。”
穆里尼奥形容贝尔过去一周的训练水平处于良好的水平，并且暗示他将在对阵韦康比的比赛中出场。而关于这名四届欧冠冠军得主的队内地位，穆里尼奥也暗示，不仅仅只是其他人的评价会影响他，“这也是关于他自己的感受。”穆里尼奥表示，“如果他觉得过去的一周对他和他的信心有积极的影响，他就会得到上场的机会。”
Solskjaer cho biết anh và Pogba có một mối quan hệ rất tốt.
Những tưởng nhừng gì mà người đại diện đã phát biểu về Paul Pogba đã kết thúc sự nghiệp của anh tại Old Trafford thì không, trong những trận đấu vừa rồi Pogba đã trở lại cực kỳ mạnh mẽ và trở thành một cái tên không thể thiếu tại hàng tiền vệ của Manchester United
Điều này trái ngược hoàn toàn với giai đoạn đầu mùa, khi Pogba và đại diện Mino Raiola công khai kế hoạch chia tay Old Trafford. Thời điểm đó, HLV Ole Gunnar Solskjaer không ngần ngại đẩy Pogba lên băng ghế dự bị.
Mới nhất, tờ Mirror đã dẫn lời Solskjaer cho hay: “Việc của Pogba là duy trì thể trạng tốt nhất và chơi bóng. Việc của tôi là cởi mở và trung thực với cậu ấy và cho cậu ấy lời khuyên. Tôi chưa bao giờ có vấn đề với cậu ấy.
Tôi nói chuyện cởi mở và trực tiếp với Pogba. Tôi sẽ không nói cho ai biết lời khuyên của tôi dành cho cậu ấy là gì, nhưng tôi luôn có mối quan hệ tốt với cậu ấy. Cậu ấy đến từ một gia đình tuyệt vời. Cậu ấy rất am hiểu và là một cậu bé rất biết điều. Pogba biết tôi đang nói về điều gì khi chúng tôi nói chuyện. Cậu ấy cũng sẵn sàng và trung thực với tôi.
Và những gì mọi người không thấy ở Pogba là, ngay cả khi cậu ấy không thi đấu, cậu ấy cũng đóng góp rất nhiều thứ ở phía sau. Đôi khi cậu ấy còn đóng vai trò là thông dịch viên cả khi không ra sân. Cậu ấy luôn tôn trọng quyết định của tôi, và chúng tôi luôn có mối quan hệ làm việc rất tốt.”
การแข่งขัน : เอฟเอ คัพ รอบที่ 4
วันแข่งขัน : วันอาทิตย์ที่ 24 มกราคม 2021
เวลาแข่งขัน : 00:00 น. ตามเวลาประเทศไทย
ผลการแข่งขัน : แมนเชสเตอร์ ยูไนเต็ด 3-2 ลิเวอร์พูล
สนาม : โอลด์ แทรฟฟอร์ด
ตลอด 66 นาทีแรกที่ แมนเชสเตอร์ ยูไนเต็ด เล่นโดยไม่มีเพลย์เมคเกอร์ตัวเก่งอย่าง บรูโน เฟอร์นันเดส นั้น แม้ว่าพวกเขาจะไม่ได้เล่นแย่ แถมรูปเกมก็จัดว่าสูสีกับทีมเยือน แต่หลังจากที่ส่งสตาร์ชาวโปรตุเกสลงสนามมา รูปเกมของพวกเขาก็ดีขึ้นชัดเจน ทั้งการสร้างสรรค์เกมจากกลางไปหน้า ไอเดียในการเข้าทำ รวมถึงทีเด็ดจากลูกตั้งเตะ ที่ยอดนักเตะรายนี้พิสูจน์ให้เห็นเป็นครั้งที่ร้อยครั้งที่พันแล้วว่าเขาคือหัวใจของ ปีศาจแดง ในยุคนี้อย่างแท้จริง และเกมจะแตกต่างออกไปทันทีที่ไม่มีชายผู้นี้โลดแล่นอยู่ในสนาม
เกมนี้แม้รูปเกมจะยังคงเป็น ลิเวอร์พูล ที่เป็นฝ่ายต่อบอลครองบอลบุกเข้าใส่ได้มากกว่าตามสไตล์ แต่แน่นอน แมนฯ ยูไนเต็ด ชุดนี้พวกเขาก็มีทีเด็ดที่ใช้ในการต่อกรกับทีมใหญ่มานักต่อนัก นั่นคือการการเล่นเกมสวนกลับโดยอาศัยความเร็วของผู้เล่นตัวริมเส้นฉีกแนวหลังคู่แข่งนั่นเอง ซึ่งเกมนี้พวกเขาก็แสดงให้เห็นอีกครั้งว่าหากเปิดพื้นที่หลังแนวรับเมื่อไหร่ ปีศาจแดง ก็พร้อมจะอาศัยช่องว่างตรงนั้นเปลี่ยนให้เป็นประตูได้เสมอ
โมฮาเหม็ด ซาลาห์ มีชื่อบนสกอร์บอร์ด 2 ครั้งในเกมนี้และเกือบทำแฮตทริคได้หาก ดีน เฮนเดอร์สัน ไม่งัดซูเปอร์เซฟป้องกันโอกาสยิงของสตาร์ทีมชาติ อียิปต์
อย่างไรก็ตาม ความไม่ละเอียดพอของเจ้าตัวในพื้นที่สุดท้ายจนทำให้เสียบอลกลางทาง รวมไปถึงการไม่สามารถชะลอเกมสวนกลับของ ปีศาจแดง ได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ ทำให้ทีมต้องเสียประตูและพบกับความปราชัยไปในที่สุด
เยอร์เก้น คล็อปป์ ยังคงแสดงความมั่นใจในตัว รีส วิลเลียมส์ ปราการหลังวัย 19 ปีออกจากสตาร์ทจับคู่กับ ฟาบินโญ และดร็อปเอา โจเอล มาติป ออกจากทีม
แม้จะมีช็อตที่น่าประทับใจให้เห็นอยู่บ้างแต่ความรวดเร็วและความไม่แน่นอนในการสกัดบอลชี้เป็นชี้ตายยังคงเป็นจุดอ่อนของเจ้าตัว อันนำไปสู่สาเหตุการเสียประตูของ หงส์แดง
London: Pengurus Liverpool Jurgen Klopp menegaskan kemerosotan prestasi skuadnya sejak akhir-akhir ini tidak akan berlarutan sebaliknya akan ditebus apabila berdepan Manchester United dalam saingan Piala FA awal pagi esok.
Skuad Klopp berkunjung ke Old Trafford selepas dikejutkan Burnley yang mengakhiri rekod 68 perlawanan tanpa kalah Reds dalam aksi liga di tempat sendiri.
Perlawanan itu yang keempat berturut-turut tanpa sebarang gol buat juara Liga Perdana dan kini enam mata di belakang pendahulu dan musuh tradisi, United.
“Kami tewas dengan Burnley dan ia benar-benar mengecewakan,” kata Klopp. “Apabila saya fikir semula saya tak nampak kenapa boleh tewas tapi kami tewas. Ia berlaku dan kadang-kadang anda perlu bangkit daripada kekecewaan untuk mengubah keadaan seperti biasa dan itu sudah pasti.”
”Kami akan melakukannya. Jika kami menang dalam aksi buruk, dunia akan berkata, ‘Ok, ia bukan bola sepak yang biasa dipamerkan tetapi mereka kembali mendapat keputusan, tetapi dari segi jangka panjang ia tidak membantu.
“Ia benar-benar membantu jika kami memanfaatkannya. Saya boleh bayangkan apa yang difikirkan kebanyakan orang mengenai kami ketika ini.
“Tetapi orang ramai tidak berubah dalam masa sehari. Mereka kadang-kadang berdepan cabaran yang mereka belum sedia hadapinya dan mungkin anda tak tahu apa cabaran akan datang.
“Tetapi ia cabaran yang anda tak mahu hadapi. Apatah lagi dalam situasi kami hadapi sekarang. Mereka (pemain) masih lagi cemerlang dengan karakter hebat. Semua sekali. Merekalah yang membawa kejayaan sejak beberapa tahun lalu dan mereka tidak berubah semalaman.”
MEGABINTANG Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo, mendapatkan tawaran dari Arab Saudi untuk menjadi wajah pariwisata salah satu negara Teluk Persia tersebut. Menurut laporan The Telegraph yang dikutip The Sun, Minggu (24/1/2021), Arab Saudi akan membayar Cristiano Ronaldo sebesar 5,2 juta poundsterling (sekira Rp100 miliar) jika mau menerima tawaran tersebut.
Namun, laporan itu pun menyebutkan, bahwa CR7 –julukan Cristiano Ronaldo– menolak tawaran dari Arab Saudi. Penolakan Cristiano Ronaldo kemungkinan besar berhubungan dengan beberapa kasus Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) yang diduga berkaitan dengan Arab Saudi.
Salah satu kasus pelanggaran HAM yang diduga berkaitan dengan Arab Saudi adalah pembunuhan seorang jurnalis bernama Jamal Khashoggi. Pembunuhan itu membuat heboh dunia pada 2018 silam.
Jamal Khashoggi terakhir kali terlihat memasuki Konsulat Arab Saudi di Turki pada 2 Oktober 2018. Sejak saat itu, Jamal Khashoggi tidak pernah lagi terlihat.
Pejabat Turki meyakini tubuh Jamal Khashoggi telah dimutilasi dan dibuang. Jasad Jamal Khashoggi pun tidak ditemukan hingga kini.
When the ball looped up into the air and threatened to drop between the Aston Villa striker and the Newcastle United goalkeeper, you just knew there was only going to be one winner.
Ollie Watkins leapt highest, put his body on the line and threw himself at the ball. The relief on his face said it all. The 25-year-old had ended his nine-game drought without a goal, and had silenced the minute percentage of critics or doubters questioning his Premier League credentials.
In truth, those who have questioned his ability at this level must have been purely casting an eye over the statistics, rather than tuning in to catch Watkins in action over the course of an entire 90 minutes.
For when you actually sit down and concentrate on what the striker brings to a game outside of cold, hard facts and figures, you quickly realise that he was born to compete against defenders at the highest level.
His opening goal of the evening did highlight one of his greatest strengths – his instinct. Watkins can smell goals, and he remains alert to even the slightest morsel of hope that the ball may drop to his feet. And when it does, he will be waiting.
That moment arrived on 13 minutes, when he anticipated Fabian Schar may miss his interception, and sniffed out the chance before shot-stopper Karl Darlow had time to flatten him. It was a brave header, but Watkins won’t tell you that it was courage – he’ll tell you it was his instinct.
His second major talking point arrived soon after, when he demonstrated two of his other key traits: movement and clinical finishing. Watkins is a proper live-wire, buzzing around the opposition backline and slipping in between markers at every given opportunity.
He loves drifting into wide areas and loitering like a hawk, waiting to swoop down onto its prey. And he did exactly that, studying Jack Grealish’s glide up the pitch, and anticipating his killer pass. Watkins sprung into action, racing onto the through ball and sliding a perfect shot home without a second thought.
Unfortunately, he’d jumped the gun this time, but it was clear that confidence was flowing through his veins.
Ultimately, it was his work rate and ability when not bearing down on goal which impressed onlookers the most – yet again. Watkins made it his night’s mission to terrorise and harass each centre-back, popping up on the left, the right and down the middle without warning.
He anticipated every pass arriving in his path, sprinting on angles to receive long punts downfield from Emi Martinez, and bringing the ball out of the sky and under his spell with deadly precision. Then, back to goal, he would wait for support, hold off his marker and make another penetrative run in behind a ragged Newcastle defence.
The Villa star knows exactly when to come short, when to stretch the backline, or when to put his head down, charge forward and draw desperate tackles from tiring defenders.
Watkins knows how to make every centre-back close his eyes at night, and see the forward’s face – or more accurately, see his back racing away into the distance.
And as for Watkins, he’ll sleep as soundly as he always should, safe in the knowledge that scoring goals is only a fraction of his well-rounded and dynamic style of play. Appreciate him, Villans, just as much as his teammates do.
