Cricinfo staff20-Jun-2009

New South Wales may be vying for Brendon McCullum’s services as well, but Otago have named him in their provisional squad for the Champions League. A 19-member squad for the tournament that takes place in India starting October 8 has been named, and will be trimmed to 15 in September.McCullum made a controversial appearance for New South Wales in the Australian domestic Twenty20 final in January so that he could qualify for the Blues. He is yet to confirm which team he will play for; if he is to play for New South Wales, the Australia state side will have pay Otago US$250,000.Otago Cricket Association chief executive Ross Dykes was confident McCullum would pick his home side. “As far as I’m concerned he is playing for us,” Dykes told the . “It is not something Brendon would need to confirm. He qualifies for Otago and he is mad keen to play.”There are six other players with international experience in the Otago squad: Nathan McCullum, Aaron Redmond, Neil Broom, Ian Butler, Craig Cumming and England allrounder Dimitri Mascarenhas.Mike Hesson, the Otago coach, was happy with the experience and strength of his squad. “Outside of our international players we have a blend of experienced campaigners like Warren McSkimming and James McMillan, mixed with some exciting younger players in left-arm-spinner Nick Beard and attacking opening batsman Hamish Rutherford,” he said.Otago will start training for the Champions League at a camp in Dunedin in early September.Otago squad: 1 Neil Broom, 2 Nick Beard, 3 Derek de Boorder, 4 Anthony Bullick, 5 Ian Butler, 6 Craig Cumming, 7 Sean Eathorne, 8 Shaun Haig, 9 Mathew Harvie, 10 Dimitri Mascarenhas, 11 Brendon McCullum, 12 Nathan McCullum, 13 James McMillan, 14 Warren McSkimming, 15 Aaron Redmond, 16 Hamish Rutherford, 17 William Somerville, 18 Greg Todd,19 Neil Wagner

O clima ficou pesado durante treino dos reservas do Corinthians na manhã desta terça-feira, no CT Joaquim Grava. O volante Fellipe Bastos se irritou e xingou Clayton, que não teria voltado para marcar (veja a discussão no vídeo acima da LANCE!TV). Na imagem, não deu para ver se o atacante respondeu.

-C… do c… Vai tomar no… Vai se…, moleque do… – xingou Bastos, bastante irritado com Clayton.

O treino em campo reduzido já estava “pegado”. Quatro jogadores, inclusive, ficaram caídos após algum tipo de choque.

Primeiro, Marciel acabou caindo em cima do próprio pulso direito. Ele recebeu atendimento e logo se levantou. Ninguém imaginava que esse lance seria considerado “leve” pelo que estava por vir…

Logo depois, Camacho e Clayton também ficaram caídos após entradas atrasadas dos companheiros. O volante, aliás, chegou a ficar alguns segundos recebendo atendimento fora do campo por conta do choque com Giovanni Augusto.

Ainda teve tempo de Léo Príncipe também ficou caído após entrada de Marciel. Quando o lateral-direito estava no cão, o goleiro Walter chegou a brincar:

– Esse treino vai acabar por W.O. – gritou Walter.

Enquanto os reservas participaram do treino “pegado” em espaço reduzido, os titulares treinaram em outro campo sob o comando do técnico Fábio Carille. O Corinthians joga nesta quarta-feira, às 19h30, contra a Chapecoense.

A fresh update has emerged on Villarreal boss Unai Emery, regarding a potential move to Newcastle this week.

What’s the talk?

talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook has claimed that the Spanish club are now confident of the ex-Arsenal man staying in Spain amidst the speculation over his future. He has, however, added that there are more twists to come in the story.

He wrote: “Villarreal now confident Emery will turn down NUFC few more twists in this one…”

Intrigue

This update from Crook will initially leave fans feeling confused about the whole situation in Tyneside.

Daily Mail journalist Craig Hope claimed that Emery told Newcastle he wanted the job on Tuesday before Guillem Balague then reported that he was now set to reject the club after his team’s 2-0 win over Young Boys in the Champions League last night.

However, Crook now states that Villarreal believe Emery will remain with the La Liga club, but with more twists to come, it suggests that a deal is not dead yet. With that in mind, supporters will undoubtedly be intrigued with the glimmer of hope that’s still left in any potential move for the Spanish coach.

With the Magpies already six points adrift of safety after ten games, with zero wins and six losses in the top-flight as it stands. Graeme Jones has been the caretaker manager for two games since Steve Bruce’s departure and picked up one point, from a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, in that time.

As a result, there is a lack of cohesion and belief on the pitch and that appears to be the case off the field as well as Newcastle struggle to get a deal for Emery over the line. However, with his continental pedigree and experience of spending big with PSG in mind, eventually hiring him would no doubt have supporters over the moon.

Hopefully, PIF are able to strike a balance and work things out, whether that be convincing Emery to make the switch or by securing another top manager to come in and steady the ship. They then have the January transfer window to flex their financial muscle to bolster the playing squad in order to help them avoid relegation. At the moment, this is a particularly intriguing set of events. How it ends is anyone’s guess but the Toon Army will surely be lusting after Emery.

Disclaimer: Since time of publishing, Emery has since confirmed he will be remaining at Villarreal.

Frank McAvennie has declared it ‘inevitable’ that Everton will sack Rafael Benitez in the foreseeable future.

The lowdown

The 61-year-old only took over at Goodison Park in the summer, replacing Carlo Ancelotti after he left for Real Madrid. The Spaniard signed a two-year deal with the option for a third, agreeing an annual salary of £15m (via The Independent).

Everton started the season well, with their 3-1 victory over Burnley in mid-September taking them fourth in the table. However, they’ve only added six points to their tally in their seven matches since, and Sunday’s goalless draw with Tottenham Hotspur snapped a three-game losing streak.

The latest

Speaking to Football Insider, McAvennie said he can only see Benitez’s tenure ending one way, sensing that many Everton fans aren’t behind the former Liverpool boss.

He said: “They were never going to take to Rafa, it just wasn’t going to happen. The whole this is only going to end in tears and I’m not surprised at where they find themselves.”

McAvennie also said that Everton’s league-low £1.6m summer spending had made it very difficult for Benitez to take them into Europe, stating: “Everton spent nothing in the summer and they don’t have a squad that can challenge the likes of West Ham, never mind Liverpool.

“They have been terrible in recent weeks, from what I’ve seen anyway. Is Rafa ever going to win a trophy or get Everton into Europe? I don’t think so.

“I think it’s a matter of time before he goes, whether it’s deserved or not. It’s inevitable. It’s a big decision but they will be left with no choice soon.”

The verdict

McAvennie’s fears for Benitez aren’t without foundation, given that many Everton supporters were naturally opposed to his strong ties with arch-rivals Liverpool. Also, five Premier League managers have already lost their jobs this season – one of whom, like Benitez, was only appointed in the summer, namely Nuno Espirito Santo at Tottenham.

The 5-2 defeat against Watford last month was woeful, and the response against Wolves inadequate, but Everton’s struggles shouldn’t be overstated. They find themselves a reasonable 11th place in the table and are only two points off the top six.

The decision-makers at Goodison Park will also surely appreciate that Benitez has had to do without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, by far the Blues’ top scorer in 2020/21, and the impressive Abdoulaye Doucoure in recent weeks. Marcel Brands and co shouldn’t make an unnecessarily hasty decision on the Spaniard’s job unless things really fall to pieces for Everton over the winter months.

In other news, many Everton fans flocked to an image which surfaced from Sunday’s draw against Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed an encouraging injury boost ahead of their return to Premier League action this weekend…

What’s the latest?

According to Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas, versatile winger Ryan Sessegnon has returned to full-time training at Hotspur Way following a pretty lengthy spell on the sidelines.

The 21-year-old, who can play anywhere along the left flank, has been out since the September international break with a hamstring injury.

Spurs face Leeds United on Sunday afternoon where new manager Antonio Conte will be looking to maintain his unbeaten record in charge of the north Londoners.

“Excl. Ryan Sessegnon will return to full training this week from the hamstring problem suffered in September and could be available for #Leeds clash on Sunday,” he tweeted.

“Sessegnon returns to training to hand Conte a selection boost, as he searches for his best #Tottenham team.”

Big boost to Conte

On the face of it, this isn’t so much of a ‘boost’ to the Italian, given the fact that the England U21 international has only played 14 times since his £25m move from Fulham in August 2019.

However, as Thomas goes on to explain in his series of updates on social media, Sessegnon hands Conte a new weapon and one that seems like a perfect fit for his wing-back system.

“Sessegnon has the potential to be just the sort of player that could be rejuvenated by Antonio Conte. His system is set up just right for his profile, off the left of a 3-4-3. Has a way to go to reach the level but still just 21 y/o,” he added.

Indeed, when fit, the young £18m-rated dynamo has bags of potential – something that we are yet to see in N17. His loan stint at Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim was largely a success.

He featured in 29 matches across all competitions, in which he provided two goals and three assists, via Transfermarkt, whilst per WhoScored, he averaged two tackles, 1.3 interceptions and 0.7 key passes per match at an elite level, which suggests he’s capable of contributing at either end of the pitch.

Sessegnon was once dubbed a “big, big talent” with a “very bright” future by former teammate Stefan Johansen. Meanwhile, his pace and acceleration have also been noted by Bundesliga.com, who went as far as comparing him to Alphonso Davies – arguably one of the best in the world at left wing-back.

The rarely-seen Spurs gem could be in line for a career boost under Conte and that’s why this encouraging development from the club’s training ground should leave the Italian and his staff absolutely delighted heading into the weekend.

He could well thrive under his new manager.
