Imagine him & Cerny: Clement must unleash £27k-p/w Rangers star

Glasgow Rangers have a huge game in the Scottish Premiership this evening as they prepare to travel away from Ibrox to take on Aberdeen.

The Light Blues are currently six points behind the Dons in the table and have the chance to half that gap by collecting all three points on their travels tonight.

Aberdeen and Celtic are both sat on 25 points in the top-flight, with eight wins and one draw apiece, whilst Rangers are lagging behind on 19 points, having already lost twice in the division.

Philippe Clement needs his team to pull a top-class performance out to cut the gap and move closer to the top of the table to ensure that they do not drift away in the title race.

A defeat would already see them go nine points behind the Dons, and possibly Celtic if they win their match, which would be a sizeable points tally to overturn in the coming months.

Rangers are looking to win back-to-back matches in the Premiership after they picked up a 2-1 win against St Mirren at Ibrox last time out in the division, thanks to another strong performance from man-of-the-moment Vaclav Cerny.

Vaclav Cerny's recent form for Rangers

The Czechia international was signed on loan from Wolfsburg during the summer transfer window and has had an interesting time in Glasgow so far.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast's Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

He produced one goal and two assists in his first six appearances in all competitions for the Scottish giants, which was a promising start to life with the Light Blues.

However, the winger then went on a run of five matches without a goal or an assist to show for his efforts, a run in which Cerny appeared to snap back at some supporters during a game against Hibernian – after a section of the crowd hit out at some of his decisions on the ball.

Vaclav Cerny

The left-footed ace, though, did not let that affect him and he appears to be back at his best, with five goals and one assist in his last four games in all competitions.

Cerny registered braces against Kilmarnock and FCSB in the Premiership and the Europa League, and scored the winning goal against St Mirren last time out in the league.

Rangers will need the winger to be at his best to get the better of the Dons, who are yet to lose in the league, and will need the striker alongside him to carry their weight as well, which is why Hamza Igamane may be dropped from the starting XI for this game.

Hamza Igamane's performance against St Mirren in numbers

The 21-year-old centre-forward was handed a huge chance to showcase his quality from the start in the win over St Mirren last time out in the Premiership.

He had come off the bench to score against FCSB on Thursday night in the Europa League, brilliantly finding the bottom corner with a composed finish, and Clement rewarded that with a starting spot on Sunday.

A game against St Mirren at Ibrox in the league was a fantastic opportunity for Igamane to prove to Clement that he has what it takes to be starting week-in-week-out for the Gers, and that he can be the go-to guy for goals this season.

Unfortunately, Igamane did not grasp his chance to make a statement to the home supporters and failed to build on his promising cameo against FCSB in Europe.

As you can see in the table above, the Morocco U23 international struggled badly in the opening 45 minutes of the match before being withdrawn by Clement.

The former FAR Rabat centre-forward failed to register a single effort on goal and did not create any ‘big chances’ for his teammates, which illustrates his lack of impact in the final third.

He also proved to be a liability out of possession for the Gers, losing all seven of his duels against opposition defenders, and these statistics do not suggest that he is the best option to lead the line against an in-form Aberdeen side.

Therefore, Clement must ruthlessly ditch Igamane from the starting XI in order to unleash Cyriel Dessers alongside Cerny as part of the front three this evening.

Why Cyriel Dessers should start

The Nigerian striker has had his fair share of criticism throughout his time at Ibrox and some of it has been justified, as his finishing has left a lot to be desired.

Since the start of the 2023/24 campaign, Dessers has missed a staggering 33 ‘big chances’ in the Premiership for the Light Blues, since Michael Beale signed him from Cremonese in the summer of 2023.

This shows that the 29-year-old forward is far from a lethal marksman who is likely to take the majority of the chances that fall his way in the box.

Cyriel Dessers

What you cannot fault Dessers for, however, is his movement in the box and his ability to generate high-quality openings for himself in front of goal, either with his own play or by moving to make angles for his teammates to pass to him.

The former Serie A attacker has still scored 19 goals in the division since the start of last season, despite missing 33 ‘big chances’, and that speaks to the quantity and quality of chances that he gets in front of goal.

As you can see in the table above, the £27k-per-week ace may not always take advantage of the chances that come his way but he is always a threat in front of goal.

Dessers, who Clement claimed has a “big heart”, has produced six goals and ‘big chances’ created in nine appearances in the division and averages two shots per game, which shows that the striker is always involved.

Therefore, the manager should unleash the experienced attacker from the start ahead of the inexperienced Igamane, as he may have a better chance of causing Aberdeen problems alongside Cerny.

Gabriel Jesus has been regularly linked with an exit in the last few weeks, but the Brazilian was handed a much-needed confidence boost against PNE, as he finally got off the mark with his first goal of the season and Arsenal’s opening strike of the game.

It didn’t take long for the away side to double their advantage, with exciting youngster Ethan Nwaneri getting on the scoresheet again just nine minutes later, adding to his tally of three goals in two Carabao Cup games this term after his brace against Bolton Wanderers in the last round.

Star makeshift striker Kai Havertz then cemented his side’s place in the quarter-final draw with Arsenal’s third of the game, rounding off a comfortable win, and the north Londoners are set to host Crystal Palace at the Emirates in the next round.

It was a solid performance by Arsenal, who are now preparing for a difficult game away to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday.

Emmanuel Petit digs at "average" Arsenal summer signings

In truth, Arteta has been dealt many issues in the early stages of this season, mostly revolving around injuries to key players.

Mikel Merino and Riccardo Calafiori, who both arrived in the summer window, have both been sidelined at various points – while Raheem Sterling is still yet to showcase his true ability after coming in on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea.

Speaking to Jeffbet, via The Metro, Petit has aimed a subtle dig at Edu and called Arsenal’s signings “average” – explaining that an attacking midfielder is badly needed at N5 and suggesting they really shouldn’t have parted company with Emile Smith-Rowe.

Arsenaltechnical directorEdu Gaspar and managing director Vinai Venkatesham

“Arsenal need an attacking midfielder, it’s the position they’re missing at the moment,” said Petit.

“When it’s Rice, Mikel Merino and Leandro Trossard in the midfield, there is no creativity there. Because Kai Havertz roams about the pitch, there is not a consistent pass to the striker. A solution could have been Emile Smith Rowe, but he’s gone to Fulham.

“I watched the game with William Gallas, we agreed Arsenal have a quality squad but not many quality players. When the spine gets injured, the team struggles. If that happens to Manchester City or Liverpool, they don’t struggle. I think the new Arsenal signings have looked average, but I won’t point any fingers.”

الشمال القطري: خدعنا الأهلي بـ بغداد بونجاح من أجل التعاقد مع أكرم توفيق

كشف مشعل العلي رئيس جهاز الكرة بنادي الشمال، تفاصيل مفاوضات الأهلي بشأن ضم الجزائري بغداد بو نجاح، موضحًا كواليس مثيرة في التعاقد مع أكرم توفيق لاعب القلعة الحمراء في صفقة انتقال حر بنهاية الموسم الجاري.

وقال مشعل العلي في تصريحات عبر قناة “الكأس” القطرية: “بغداد بونجاح، حدث اتفاق بيننا وبين الأهلي المصري، اتفقنا مع وكيل قطري كان يدير الاتفاق بيننا، وجاء شخص من النادي الأهلي وجلس مع اللاعب واتفق معه على كل شيء”.

وأردف: “قلت إننا ممكن نُعير اللاعب، لكن قلت بعد ذلك لو رحل لاعب مثل بغداد بونجاح ستحدث خسارة للفريق، فقلنا إن الأفضل هو استمراره ونغلق الموضوع مع الأهلي، هم جاءوا لنا من الباب ورحبنا بهم”.

وتابع: “أحيانًا من الممكن التواصل مع اللاعب بطرق أخرى، لكن هم جاءوا لنا بطريقة احترافية، ونحن كمشروع للنادي قلنا لا بد أن يستمر معنا”.

واستطرد: “بغداد أحد قادة الفريق، وقلنا لا بد أن يستمر معنا، خاصة بعد رحيل المدرب، ستكون سقطة كبيرة لو رحل اللاعب، ونحن نعرف كيف نتمسك بالفريق، خاصة لاعب مثل بغداد، لا نستطيع أن نستغنى عنه”.

وأكمل: “الاتفاق حدث بين بغداد والأهلي، ولكن رأينا أنه من الصعب رحيله، وأغلقنا الموضوع واتصلت باللاعب وقلت له أنت تنازلت عن الانتقال لناد كبير مثل الأهلي، ولكن نحن نريدك في مشروع الشمال وقد تكون مدير رياضي فيما بعد”.

وأوضح: “الحرب خدعة، أكرم توفيق كان من ضمن حساباتنا، وكان هذا الوقت المناسب، في وقت كل الأنظار كانت على بغداد بونجاح، وأنت إذا ذهبت لتأخذ من الأهلي لاعبًا مهمًا فيجب اختيار التوقيت المناسب، أخذت معي رئيس الجهاز وبغداد وذهبنا حتى يظنوا أننا ذهبنا للاتفاق على صفقة بغداد، لكن تفاجأوا بموضوع أكرم توفيق، وكان كل شيء سريًا”.

وأضاف: “عندما ذهبنا إلى مصر عقدنا شبه جلسة مع أكرم توفيق، وشرحنا له المشروع، وهو لم يُعطينا الرد مباشرة، وبعدها اقتنع ووقع رسميًا”.

وواصل: “أكرم وقع معنا 3 سنوات، لكن أنا واثق من أنه بمجرد أن يضع قدمه في قطر من الممكن أن يستمر معنا 10 سنوات، هو كان من ضمن خطتنا بشأن المحترفين ونستفيد منه، جلست معه ووجدت أن عقليته احترافية وقد يفيدنا في المجال الإداري والفني، أي قد يكون مدربًا فيما بعد، فهو ضمن خطة كبيرة رسمناها”.

واختتم: “عقد أكرم مع الأهلي ينتهي بنهاية آخر مباراة للفريق في الدوري المصري، وعقده يحتوي على تفاصيل، لكننا لا نرغب أن ندخل في إشكالية مع الأهلي، ونريد أن يكون بيننا اتفق، أدرك إن ناديًا بحجم الأهلي لا بد أن تكون هذه شكل المعاملة بيننا للمستقبل، ونتمنى لهم التوفيق في كأس العالم للأندية”.

Ismael let "exciting" West Brom ace leave, now he’s a future England star

West Bromwich Albion have produced a number of top-quality youngsters through their academy, with one look at Carlos Corberan’s regular starting lineup this season in the Championship already exposing two homegrown talents who are front and centre of his first-team plans.

Both Tom Fellows and Alex Palmer have fought hard to rise up the ranks in the West Midlands all the way to the first team, with Fellows registering five assists in the second tier this campaign, whilst his counterpart has kept an impressive tally of seven clean sheets from 13 league games.

Tom Fellows celebrates for West Brom.

Away from these rip-roaring successes, some academy starlets have unfortunately slipped through the net before West Brom could give them their moment to shine in the senior mix, with many examples haunting the Baggies.

West Brom's famed academy

Immediately, Morgan Rogers’ name springs to mind as one former West Brom academy player who has gone on to reach unbelievable heights away from the Hawthorns.

The Baggies were ultimately powerless to prevent Rogers from moving onto Manchester City in 2019, as the allure of the Premier League champions won the young attacking midfielder over. He is is now a consistent first-team performer for West Brom’s near neighbours in Aston Villa many years on from his exit.

The exciting Villa number 27 has three goals and three assists from 13 games in all competitions this season to date, which included scoring his team’s opener last time out versus Tottenham Hotspur before Ange Postecoglou’s men ran riot in a 4-1 win.

Other notable faces include the likes of Chris Wood and Tim Iroegbunam who are both on the books of clubs in the division above West Brom currently, with Wood firing home a stunning eight goals from ten games this campaign for Nottingham Forest.

When Wood was on the roster at the Baggies, he managed to register just three strikes from 27 clashes, before going on to become a deadly goal machine later on in his career.

There is another former academy player who could go on to be the biggest regret from West Brom’s perspective, with the starlet in question already receiving some top praise so early into his playing days.

Where Are They Now

Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast's Where Are They Now series.

The former West Brom man who could be "England's future"

The starlet in question here is Lino Sousa, who is still only 19 years of age but has been hyped up for some time now.

Valerien Ismael allowed Sousa to leave the Hawthorns in January of 2022 for Arsenal, where he instantly settled in as a bright spark who had the arguable ability to go on to become a future first-team star at the Emirates Stadium.

West Brom will now worry that they’ll be forgotten about when it comes to Sousa’s eventual explosion in the game, with five goals and one assist registered by the teenager in the Arsenal U21 ranks after leaving the Baggies.

Such was his bright form that it led to football data analyst Ben Mattinson boldly declaring that the youngster was “England’s future LB” when he left for Villa in January of this year.

Corberan and Co will just hope lightning doesn’t strike twice when it comes to a former academy prodigy going on to make a name for themselves at Villa, akin to Rogers’ rise, with the teenager also labelled as “really exciting” by then-Plymouth Argyle boss Ian Foster last season when briefly on loan at the Pilgrims.

Mikel Arteta’s side will also hope they aren’t made to look foolish for allowing Sousa to go, with Mattinson’s crystal ball prediction potentially coming true if everything clicks into place at Villa Park.

Away from lamenting about future stars they heartbreakingly lost before their prime, West Brom will just hope the likes of Palmer and Fellows can steer the Baggies to another playoff finish come the end of this campaign.

منافس الأهلي | "لست طرفًا".. ماسكيرانو يعلق على مستقبل ميسي مع إنتر ميامي

تحدث خافيير ماسكيرانو، المدير الفني لفريق إنتر ميامي، بشكل مراوغ عن مستقبل النجم ليونيل ميسي وما إذا كان سيوقع عقدًا جديدًا مع النادي الأمريكي.

ومن المعروف أن العقد الحالي للنجم الأرجنتيني مع إنتر ميامي سينتهي نهاية عام 2025.

وذكرت تقارير صحفية في الفترة الأخيرة أنه لا يوجد أي اتفاق حتى الآن بين ميسي ومسؤولي إنتر ميامي بشأن التجديد، مما فتح باب التكهنات حول مستقبله وإمكانية رحيله.

في حين يستعد إنتر ميامي للمشاركة في كأس العالم للأندية الشهر المقبل، حيث يتواجد في مجموعة تضم كلًا من الأهلي المصري، بورتو البرتغالي وبالميراس البرازيلي.

وقال ماسكيرانو، في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “espn” العالمية: “بصفتي مدربًا، أريد أن يجدد ميسي عقده في أسرع وقت ممكن، وأن يتم الإعلان عن الخبر في أسرع وقت، حرصًا على راحة الجماهير والنادي”.

وأضاف: “لست مسؤولًا عن الإعلان عن ذلك أو التعليق عليه، فأنا لست طرفًا في المفاوضات”.

جاءت تصريحات ماسكيرانو بعد خسارة إنتر ميامي 5 من آخر 7 مباريات في جميع المسابقات.

واسترسل: “من الواضح أننا استفدنا من هذا الأسبوع للعمل على العديد من الأمور التي يتعين علينا تحسينها، وقد كان ذلك مثمرًا للغاية، ولكنه لا يختلف عما كنا نفعله”.

واختتم: “لقد تحدثنا مع اللاعبين وتجاوزنا المرحلة الصعبة، الأمر يتوقف علينا من أجل تحسين الأداء والسيطرة على هذه اللحظة”.

Recreating Premadasa at the SCG

Sri Lankan supporters had assembled in large numbers at the SCG, and there was music, dancing and plenty of cheering, as their team renewed their World Cup rivalry with Australia

Tharindu Vishwanath09-Mar-2015Choice of game:
When the Sri Lanka v Australia World Cup match was washed out in 2011, I missed the long-awaited opportunity to relive the memories of the 1996 final. As soon as the 2015 World Cup tickets were issued, I reserved them. As the day arrived, it became clear the match had a significant impact on who they will meet in the quarter-finals, and I had flown in from Singapore to be a part of it. Most Cricket experts predicted Australia to win the match.Team supported:
Sri Lanka every day.Key performer:
Glenn Maxwell. Not only did he add 30-40 runs to the possible total, he scored his first century which was eluding him for a long time (Almost did this time as well on 98), much to the delight of Australian fans. After scoring the century, he took time to let go of Watson from his embrace, and tears were visible in his eyes. Could feel even from the distance how much the century meant to him. He played an absolute peach of an innings.One thing you’d have changed:
Chandimal being cramped. Until then Sri Lanka had the momentum and the rhythm. Chandimal was scoring quickly, while Mathews was looking to stay till the end. After Chandimal retired hurt, the magic evaporated, and it was downhill for Sri Lanka since then.Face-off you relished:
I was looking forward to how the battle between David Warner and Lasith Malinga would pan out. They have a history: Malinga has got the better of Warner a few times. This time, too, Malinga set up him with his trademark yorkers, and followed them up with a slower ball to get him out.Under the microscope:
A string of events was set in motion when Dilshan started to bowl even as the umpire, Ian Gould, stretched out his arm, and asked the bowler to ‘hold on’. When the umpire saw Dilshan running into bowl, he exchanged words with Dilshan. Then during the drinks break, when Dilshan kicked the ball to Gould, who was not happy again, and was seen having a serious word with him before Dilshan joined the rest of his team-mates for drinks. Again, while Sri Lanka was batting, there was a third-umpire call during which time Dilshan asked for drinks to be brought onto the ground. Gould was unhappy this time, too, indicating that Dilshan was delaying the match. Dilshan pointed to the big screen that showed the decision was still pending.Wow moment:
The catch Thisara Perera took to get rid of Steven Smith had ‘spectacular’ written all over it. It was a very hard chance, and he did a brilliant job to get to the ball and take it safely.Close encounter:
Ironically, after spoiling the party for Sri Lankan fans, Glenn Maxwell had to field for a few overs near the boundary just in front of the Sri Lankan fan zone. The crowd made a lot of noise and for some time a rapport was building between the him and the crowd. Maxwell was responding dynamically with gestures and laughs.Shot of the day:It is really hard to pick one shot because there were some eye-pleasing shots from batsmen of both teams. My pick of the match is the six Dinesh Chandimal scored off Watson in 36th over. His quick innings came as a surprise package to most Sri Lankan fans.Crowd meter:
The match had been sold out before the Game day. More than 39,000 were present for the match, and although the Australian supporters outnumbered the Sri Lankans, going by the noise you would think the match was played at the Premadasa. In the sixth over, when Dilshan hit six boundaries in six balls off Mitchell Johnson, the Sri Lankan flags fluttered with cheers and chants typical to Sri Lankan supporters. A crowd wave, say Sydney wave, began and it was picked up by rest of the crowd. Glenn Maxwell got the biggest cheer when he scored the hundred. The moment when Sangakkara passed 14,000 ODI runs also received a standing ovation.Entertainment
They played English songs as well as Sri Lankan songs. When there was a wicket or a six, rock music was played while fireworks were set off near the sidescreens. From time to time, the giant screen entertained the crowd by picking up people with kiss cam, dancing cam, and costume cam. But the famous music stood out as always.Banner of the day
“In Sanga We Trust”Overall
It was fantastic game of Cricket. Though Maxwell walked away as the hero, there were other good innings from Steven Smith, Clarke, Sangakka, Dilshan, and Chandimal. The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic with a pleasant weather and papare music.Marks out of 10
8. Would have given 10 had Sri Lanka won.
