Afghanistan fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq has been ruled out of the ongoing Asia Cup, and Abdollah Ahmadzai has been named his replacement.Naveen had been named in the Asia Cup squad despite missing the UAE tri-series prior to the tournament. According to an Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) release, Naveen is still recovering from a shoulder injury and has not been declared fit by the medical team. “Naveen will continue to undergo intensive treatment and rehabilitation until he is fully fit,” the statement said.Ahmadzai, who was originally in the list of reserves for the Asia Cup, was a part of the UAE tri-series with Naveen out of action. He made his international debut in the series – also the only T20I he has played so far – where he took 1 for 31 in three overs against UAE. Overall in T20s, he has 15 wickets from 11 games.Naveen last played for Afghanistan in December 2024, against Zimbabwe in a T20I in Harare. He was part of the SA20 earlier this year, taking five wickets in eight games for Durban’s Super Giants. He also played MLC in June where he took eight wickets in five games for tournament champions MI New York.Fazalhaq Farooqi and Fareed Ahmad are the other specialist quicks in the squad, with Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib and Karim Janat the fast-bowling allrounder.Afghanistan have played only one match at the Asia Cup so far, the tournament opener, where they beat Hong Kong by 94 runs. Their next group match is against Bangladesh on September 16, and they play Sri Lanka on September 18.

Confira abaixo o resumo do primeiro dia de Paulistão:
BRAGANTINO 0 X 1 ÁGUA SANTA
Reeditando uma das semifinais do Paulistão do ano passado, o Água Santa voltou a aprontar contra o Bragantino. Se em 2023 a equipe de Diadema havia eliminado o Massa Bruta nos pênaltis e chegado ao vice-campeonato, perdendo a decisão para o Palmeiras, esse ano, sob o comando de Bruno Pivetti, o Netuno venceu em pleno Nabizão, com gol do atacante Júnior Todinho, no início do segundo tempo. Após sofrer o gol, o Toro Loko pressionou bastante, mas não conseguiu furar a retranca dos representantes do Grande ABC.
BOTAFOGO-SP 0 X 1 SANTOS
Foi um bom primeiro capítulo para o ano mais difícil da história do Santos, que disputará a Série B do Brasileirão pela primeira vez. O time titular contra o Pantera contou com sete jogadores que são novos no elenco e a resposta foi positiva, já que a maioria deles foi bem, em especial o trio do meio-campo formado por João Schmidt, Diego Pituca, que está de volta, e Giuliano. O gol da vitória foi marcado por outro estreante, mas que saiu do banco de reservas: o venezuelano Rómulo Otero, que estufou as redes após um lindo giro com voleio na entrada da pequena área do estádio Santa Cruz.

SÃO PAULO 3 X 1 SANTO ANDRÉ
O jogo foi definido em 45 minutos. Logo no primeiro lance da partida, Lucas sofreu um pênalti, marcado de forma duvidosa pelo árbitro Douglas Marques das Flores. O próprio camisa 7 converteu. Minutos depois, o Santo André empatou com Cléo Silva, de cabeça. Mas a virada e o terceiro gol são-paulino vieram ainda na etapa inicial, com Luciano, aproveitando ótimo passe de Lucas, e o zagueiro Diego Costa, de cabeça, aproveitando cruzamento de Wellington Rato. O duelo marcou a estreia de Thiago Carpini como técnico do Tricolor. E o Morumbi estava cheio, com 45 mil torcedores, mesmo após chover muito durante todo o dia em SP.

PONTE PRETA 1 X 1 MIRASSOL
Jogando em casa, a Ponte saiu na frente com um belo gol de Jeh, em um chute de fora da área. O Mirassol, no entanto, aproveitou que a Macaca recuou após abrir o placar e chegou ao empate ainda no primeiro tempo, com o meio-campista Gabriel.

أدلى مدرب برشلونة، هانز فليك بتصريحات أعقبت الهزيمة أمام تشيلسي في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، مساء الثلاثاء، حيث ظهر في مؤتمر صحفي.
وتعرض برشلونة الإسباني لهزيمة بثلاثية نظيفة من نظيره تشيلسي الإنجليزي، على ملعب “ستامفورد بريدج” ضمن مباريات الجولة الخامسة لمرحلة الدوري في دوري الأبطال.
وقال فليك في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية: “أتيحت لنا فرصة التسجيل أولاً، لكن مع قلة عدد اللاعبين، أصبح الأمر صعبًا، كافحنا بشراسة، رأيت بعض الإيجابيات، لكننا فقدنا الكرة كثيرًا، وخسرنا كرات سهلة تحت الضغط”.
وأضاف: “لا أعرف كم دقيقة لعبنا، لكننا لعبنا الكثير من الوقت بلاعب أقل (مشيرًا لطرد أراوخو في نهاية الشوط الأول)، وتشيلسي فريق جيد جدًا في التعامل مع الكرة، علينا أن نتقبل الهزيمة ونفكر بإيجابية”.

وأردف: “سيكون من الصعب جدًا إنهاء مرحلة الدوري ضمن الثمانية الأوائل، لكن كل شيء ممكن، علينا أن نلعب بشراسة، لقد رأينا تشيلسي أكثر ديناميكية، وهذا ما أتمناه من فريقي، علينا أن نقاتل بقوة أكبر ونلعب بشراسة أكبر”.
وأشار: “ليس من السهل الفوز بلاعب أقل على هذا الفريق، لكنني متفائل بالمباريات القادمة، لدينا ثلاث مباريات متبقية، وأنا واثق من قدرتنا على الفوز بها، لكن اليوم ارتكبنا بعض الأخطاء، لم نستحوذ على الكرة، وارتكب بعض اللاعبين أخطاء”.
وواصل: “لم يكن ذلك كافيًا، لكن هناك إيجابيات، رافينها عاد، ماركوس راشفورد يلعب بشكل جيد، علينا أن نكون متفائلين، إذا حللنا المباراة، سنرى أننا لعبنا بلاعب أقل، وهذا له تأثير كبير، اللعب يكون أفضل بوجود لاعب إضافي، بالنسبة لتشيلسي، اللعب ضد عشرة لاعبين ميزة كبيرة”.
وأستطرد: “إنها مجرد مباراة واحدة، بدأنا بشكل جيد، مع فرص جيدة، وحصل فيران على بعضها، ثم مع غياب لاعب واحد، أصبح الأمر صعبًا للغاية، لم نلعب بالقوة المطلوبة، لكنني متفائل بالمستقبل”.
وعن طرد رونالد أراوخو، علّق: “لا أعرف ما حدث مع البطاقة الصفراء الأولى، عليّ التحدث معه ومشاهدة الفيديوهات، أما البطاقة الثانية فلم يكن عليه التدخل بهذه الطريقة، لكن هذه الأمور تحدث في كرة القدم، لم يكن الوقت مناسبًا أو اللعبة مناسبة، ولكن هكذا كانت الأمور”.
وأكد فليك: “سنرى برشلونة مختلفًا، أعدكم بذلك، أرى كيف نتدرب، بكثافة وجودة عالية، وهو مختلف عما كان عليه قبل بضعة أسابيع… لدي شعور جيد”.
Liverpool head into the Champions League tonight against PSV Eindhoven looking like a bruised animal once more.
Last time out at Anfield, Arne Slot’s Reds were convincingly beaten by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League in a 3-0 loss, with the match preceding this humbling defeat on home soil also seeing the Merseyside giants lose by the same emphatic scoreline, away at Manchester City.
Thankfully, the Champions League has been a temporary sanctuary for the reigning Premier League champions, as was evident in their 1-0 win against Real Madrid, the last time they did battle in the illustrious competition.
Therefore, Liverpool will be hoping they can lick their wounds again and beat their Eredivisie opponents later on this evening.
If form doesn’t pick up, though, the January transfer window will be a very apt time to try and find upgrades on the underperformers consistently letting the side down…
Transfer latest at Liverpool
Despite their poor form as of late, the Reds will still see themselves as a significant superpower in any transfer window to come.
After all, a colossal £415m was spent just this summer on a raft of new signings, with fresh rumours now indicating that the Slot and Co. could be prepared to drop another £123m on Bayern Munich ace Michael Olise.
Moreover, Antoine Semenyo remains in their sights as another attacking signing that could boost a side let down by the likes of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz to date.
On top of signings to add to their attacking arsenal, Liverpool are also allegedly looking to do battle with Real Madrid over the services of midfield talent Vitinha, according to emerging reports from Spain.
Indeed, the report elaborates that the La Liga giants are preparing a €150m (£131m) bid for Luis Enrique’s prized asset.
Yet, Liverpool are keen to accelerate a deal, as well, by matching the Los Blancos’ amount, ensuring they could actually eclipse the £125m club-record capture of Alexander Isak.
A next step to the Premier League is noted as being very appealing for the Portugal international, if a statement move were to whir into motion.
Vitinha’s arrival at Anfield might not be the news Ryan Gravenberch wants to read, however, with the classy Paris Saint-Germain number 17 a clear upgrade on the Dutchman, as the 23-year-old has noticeably struggled as of late.
Why Vitinha is a clear upgrade on Gravenberch
Alongside the vast majority of his teammates, Gravenberch has suffered from a notable dip in his performance levels in recent matches.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
Once labelled as being “vital” to the way Liverpool tick earlier in the season by ex-Reds midfielder Steve McManaman, the former Ajax prodigy turned Anfield first-teamer struggled to be an influential presence in back-to-back defeats at the hands of City and Forest, with only four ground duels won in total across 14 attempts, as per Sofascore.
To make matters worse, the underperforming number 38 would also fail to notch up a single key pass, leaving him on just the one paltry assist for the campaign.
While Gravenberch has shown visible signs of decline, Vitinha has continued to stand out on some pressurised stages for Enrique’s men, with this wonderful move – which was kickstarted by the 25-year-old’s fierce burst of pace – in last year’s Champions League final, just one reason why his national team manager in Roberto Martinez has glowingly labelled him the “best midielder in the world.”
In league action for PSG, too, this season, he blows his immediate competition out of the water, with one goal and six assists from 12 games – among other numbers – sticking out immediately to Slot, as he attempts to make Liverpool a vibrant and attractive watch in attack this campaign, again, rather than sticking by their current stifled appearance.

Stats by Sofascore
It’s not just in the attacking department where Vitinha could improve the downbeat Reds, with the 5-foot-8 playmaker also averaging 4.9 ball recoveries so far this season in Ligue 1, next to Gravenberch’s lesser 3.5.
Of course, the Premier League is a different kettle of fish altogether from the French top division, which PSG consistently dominate.
But, Vitinha has actually shown off his swagger against Liverpool at Anfield, with the “incredible” midfield general – as Enrique has also labelled him – dictating play during PSG’s slim 1-0 away win in the Champions League last campaign when amassing a ridiculous 103 accurate passes.
Worryingly, his Dutch counterpart receded into his shell, with zero accurate dribbles registered, and possession was lost a costly 12 times.
The one-time Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee won’t be moving to England on the cheap, but it could be a splurge worth signing off on, as Slot attempts to reinvigorate his options all over the pitch.

India batter Shreyas Iyer remains under observation in a Sydney hospital after being treated for a lacerated spleen. While there is no clear timeline yet for his discharge, Shreyas is in a stable condition.”Shreyas Iyer sustained a blunt injury to his abdomen, resulting in a laceration of his spleen with internal bleeding on 25th October during the third ODI against Australia,” a statement from BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said on Tuesday.”The injury was promptly identified, and the bleeding was immediately arrested. His condition is now stable, and he continues to be under observation. A repeat scan done on Tuesday, 28th October, has shown significant improvement, and Shreyas is on the road to recovery. The BCCI Medical Team, in consultation with specialists in Sydney and India, will continue to monitor his progress.”The BCCI’s previous statement, on Monday, had said Shreyas was “under treatment, medically stable, and recovering well”.Shreyas suffered the injury upon impact after he took a catch running backwards from point to dismiss Alex Carey during India’s third ODI against Australia in Sydney. He immediately clutched his rib cage and signalled for medical attention.Related

Shreyas was taken off the field and did not return for the remainder of Australia’s innings. At the time, the BCCI issued a brief statement that said their medical team had taken him to the hospital for “further evaluation and assessment”. As things stand, it’s unclear as to when Shreyas can return to play.A member of BCCI’s medical team remains in Sydney with Shreyas, even as the other ODI specialists left Australia on Sunday. Those part of the T20I squad have departed for Canberra, where India had their first training session on Monday.”Just by looking from the outside, when he held the catch, we felt that it was normal,” Suryakumar said about Shreyas ahead of the first T20I. “Those who were there told us that after going inside [the dressing room], it felt that he needed careful attention. Then he was rushed to the specialist, and then they told that he’s suffered this injury.”Only when he started talking normally then it felt like he is getting a little better now. The doctors and physios said that it was unfortunate and very rare. This almost never happens. But Shreyas is also a rare talent. But it’s okay, God has supported him, he is recovering really well, doctors are supporting him. He will recover soon, and then we will take him home with us.”India won the third ODI by nine wickets, but lost the three-match series 2-1 after going down in the first two games in Perth and Adelaide.The five-match T20I series gets underway on October 29 in Canberra, followed by matches in Melbourne and Hobart. Shreyas isn’t part of the T20I squad. India next play an ODI series against South Africa, which begins on November 30 in Ranchi.smallOctober 28, GMT 1345 The story was updated after the BCCI sent out its second update on Shreyas’ condition.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is facing a potentially defining week in his career at the club ahead of Premier League clashes with Chelsea and Liverpool at Elland Road.
The Guardian reported on Monday that Farke’s job may be on the line in these next two matches, because senior figures at the club believe that two losses could lead to his dismissal.
It added that his position in West Yorkshire could be ‘untenable’ if he does not pick up at least one point, as the report states that his job hangs ‘in the balance’.
The Guardian, though, also revealed that some sources have expressed sympathy for the German manager because the results have not been as positive as the performances have been.
Leeds exploring move for English head coach
Whilst a final decision has not been made on the former Norwich City head coach’s future at the club, a fresh report has named one of the managers already in the frame to take his place.
Manager Focus
Who are the greatest coaches in the land? Football FanCast’s Manager Focus series aims to reveal all.
According to Football Insider, Leeds United are exploring the possibility of a move to appoint former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Gary O’Neil as Farke’s replacement at Elland Road.
The report claims that the English tactician is ‘firmly’ in the running to be the next Whites manager if they decide to part ways with the German this week.
It adds that Farke will be in the dugout for the clash with Chelsea on Wednesday night, as the earlier report from The Guardian backs up, but his future beyond these next two games remains in doubt.
However, the 49ers should change their mind and avoid a deal to appoint O’Neil as their next manager if they opt to move on from Farke, because he could be a Javi Gracia repeat for the club.
Why Gary O'Neil could be a Javi Gracia repeat for Leeds
The Whites appointed Gracia to replace Jesse Marsch in February 2022 in an attempt to avoid relegation from the Premier League, and it seemed to be a shrewd move on paper.
Prior to joining Leeds, the Spaniard had finished 14th and 11th in the Premier League with Watford in his first two seasons with the Hornets, per Transfermarkt, before losing his job after three defeats in four games at the start of his third campaign.
He, therefore, arrived as a ‘proven’ Premier League manager, but that did not stop him from losing six of his 11 games in charge before being sacked by the Whites, who then brought in Sam Allardyce.
O’Neil would arrive at Elland Road with a similar reputation because he finished 15th and 14th with Bournemouth and Wolves in his first two seasons in the division, before being sacked after a run of 11 losses in 16 games in his third top-flight campaign, per Transfermarkt.
The English boss, who typically deploys a 3-4-2-1 formation, per Transfermarkt, lost his job with the Old Gold for a run of form that was even worse than Farke’s current performance at Leeds.

As you can see in the table above, Farke would still have a better record than O’Neil did last season if he loses these next two games against Chelsea and Liverpool.
These statistics suggest that there is no guarantee that the ex-Wolves manager would be an upgrade on the German in the dugout, as Gracia wasn’t, despite his Premier League experience, when they sacked Marsch in 2022.
With this in mind, the 49ers should avoid moving for the out-of-work head coach if they decide to sack Farke, because it could be a repeat of the mistake that former sporting director Victor Orta once made with Gracia.
Instead, they should look to appoint a manager who is a clear upgrade on the German boss, whether they have Premier League experience or not, to help them in their battle against relegation.
Leeds lining up January spending spree for "phenomenal" Farke replacement
Daniel Farke will reportedly be sacked if Leeds lose their next two matches.
ByBen Goodwin Dec 1, 2025
Of course, it would be remiss of us to ignore the possibility that Farke can turn things around in these next two games to save his job, which would alleviate any need for the board to step in and make a decision on a replacement for him in the coming weeks.
Athapaththu took three wickets and there was one run-out in the 50th over as Bangladesh lost five wickets in their last nine balls
Madushka Balasuriya20-Oct-2025

A tournament lacking in genuine tight finishes has now produced two in two days, as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka played out a low-scoring thriller in Navi Mumbai. But in truth this game should have never got to that stage, as Bangladesh nursed their chase of 203 only to stumble at the last and fall to a seven-run defeat. The result means, Bangladesh are eliminated from semi-final contention, while Sri Lanka live to fight another day.This was a chase that Sri Lanka were behind for around 48 overs, but in a tantalising final dash they picked up five wickets and gave away two runs off the final nine deliveries, as Bangladesh were unable to close out a game that they had controlled for large parts.Madara pulled up
Sri Lanka’s Malki Madara has been reprimanded for breaching Level 1 of the ICC’s code of conduct during the match against Bangladesh on Monday. Madara was found to have breached Article 2.5 of the code, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an international match.” The incident in question took place in the 11th over of Bangladesh’s innings when Madara, after dismissing Fargana Hoque, celebrated “excessively in close proximity to the batter”. In addition, one demerit point has been added to Madara’s disciplinary record – it was her first offence in a 24-month period.
The final scorecard will read that Chamari Athapaththu picked up figures of 4 for 42, but three of those came in a game-stealing final over, where Bangladesh lost four wickets off the first four deliveries – a run-out in the middle ensuring it wasn’t an Athapaththu hat-trick.Up until then Nigar Sultana had anchored the chase, if not expertly then at least safely. Her 77 off 98 came mostly as part of two major partnerships – the first 82 off 120 with Sharmin Akhter and the second 50 off 58 with Shorna Akter – during which Sri Lanka were like passengers aboard a rudderless ship, just merely on for the ride.To stick with the analogy, this was not a ship moving particularly swiftly. With a pretty chaseable target of 203 on the board, Bangladesh were guilty of being overly cautious – perhaps bearing in mind their poor batting efforts earlier in the tournament – as they inched along.On a pitch, not offering much for the many spinners they picked, Sri Lanka were resigned to simply keeping things tight, unable to really impose themselves on the game with the ball until the dying moments when everything seemed to happen all at once.Hasini Perera scored her first ODI half-century•Getty Images
Earlier however, it was Sri Lanka who had been slowed to a crawl, after a stunning mid-innings collapse had halted them. Hasini Perera struck a maiden international fifty in her 143rd match, a shining light (85 off 99) in and otherwise disjointed batting effort and was one of only three batters – Athapaththu (46) and Nilakshika Silva (37) the other two – to reach double-digits.Both Athapaththu and Hasini brought up milestones – 4000 and 1000 ODI runs, respectively – during their knock as well, while Hasini was eventually named Player of the Match.Shorna once more proved decisive – despite only being introduced at the halfway point of the innings – as she picked up figures of 3 for 27, including the crucial wickets of both Hasini and Nilakshika. The rest of the wickets were spread out, with only Ritu Moni going wicketless.Bangladesh were sloppy in the field, missing several chances, including run-outs and stumpings, but they were also spot on with their reviews. Despite this, Sri Lanka had at several points been on the up – in control, even. There was the 72-run stand between Athapaththu and Hasini after the fall of that first wicket, which had Sri Lanka romping along at nearly run-a-ball.Related

Scenarios – Four teams fight for one spot
On a wicket with few demons, Athapaththu’s 46 off 43 included six fours and two sixes. For the most part she looked unfazed by what Bangladesh threw at her so when she was trapped lbw by one that snuck past her forward defence, it was against the run of play.After this point Sri Lanka were both unfortunate and architects of their own demise. A fledgling partnership of 15 between Harshitha Samarawickrama and Hasini was brought to an end after the former called for a non-existent second run and found herself a metre short.If that was self-inflicted, the next wicket was pure unadulterated bad luck. Kavisha Dilhari chopped an attempted cut into the ground, as the ball promptly bounced past the stumps, struck keeper Sultana, and bobbled on to the stumps. Bangladesh went about their business after this, the fielders even getting back into their positions, but the third umpire was alert and used the Smart Replay system in effect at this tournament to inform the on-field umpires of a possible stumping.And as it turned out, Dilhari’s back foot had momentarily lifted off the ground as she searched for balance. It was in that moment the bails had lit up – a fitting tribute to the Diwali celebrations around the stadium.As Bangladesh celebrated wildly, Sri Lanka had suddenly stumbled from 72 for 1 to 100 for 4, a worrying blip with them being a batter light after replacing allrounder Piumi Wathsala with seamer Udeshika Prabodani. Thankfully for the Lankans, in Hasini and Nilakshika they had the exact counterattacking pair the occasion called for.Shorna Akter ran through Sri Lanka’s middle order•ICC/Getty Images
Together they strung a 74-run stand off just 75 deliveries. It was a period in which batting seemed the easiest, with both players finding boundaries with regularity. If there was one criticism – and this would be one across Sri Lanka’s innings – it would be their lack of strike rotation.Despite the pair hitting nine boundaries (including three sixes) across their partnership lasting a shade over 12 overs, they were unable to usher in a run rate above six an over. This was a problem that would plague Bangladesh’s innings as well, later on.Perhaps it was their awareness of the lack of batting to follow that kept them in check, but it was unusual to see so many tossed up deliveries of spin dead-batted away. As it transpired, Nilakshika’s innings came to an end prematurely, as she shanked an on-side heave off Shorna to short third.This wicket proved to be a catalyst for Sri Lanka’s most devastating collapse, losing their next three wickets for just eight runs – Shorna getting two of them.From then on, Sri Lanka’s innings slowed to a trickle as they sought to bat time, before eventually being bowled out with eight deliveries remaining. Their final 103 balls saw 28 runs scored and six wickets fall, a feat somehow surpassed by Bangladesh.
تحدث آرني سلوت مدرب ليفربول عن لقاء فريقه أمام آيندهوفن، في الجولة الخامسة بمرحلة الدوري لدوري أبطال أوروبا.
ويحتل ليفربول المركز العاشر برصيد 9 نقاط في مرحلة الدوري بفارق 3 نقاط عن صاحب المركز الأول بايرن ميونخ.
ويحتل آيندهوفن المركز 24 برصيد 5 نقاط في مرحلة الدوري بدوري أبطال أوروبا أيضاً.
وقد أعلن آرني سلوت مدرب ليفربول تشكيل الفريق يتكون من: “مامارداشفيلي، سوبوسلاي، كوناتي، فان دايك، كيركيز، جرافنبيرخ، ماك أليستر، جونز، صلاح، إيكتيكي، جاكبو”.

وقال سلوت في تصريحات نشرتها “Anfield Sector” عبر منصة “إكس” حول اللاعب الذي سيلعب في مركز الظهير الأيمن اليوم: “كورتيس جونز وليس سوبوسلاي”.
وأضاف سلوت حول ما فكر فيه هذا الأسبوع قبل لقاء أيندهوفن: “كان تركيزي يدور حول بعض اللحظات، استحوذنا على الكرة بنسبة 75%، وهذا يعني أنه لا داعي للدفاع كثيراً ولكن في بعض اللحظات التي اضطررنا للدفاع فيها، لم ندافع بنفس طريقة دفاع فورست الذي دافع 25 مرة في مناطقه”.
وواصل: “مهما كانت جودة أدائك ومهما طال وقت وصولك، إذا اندفع الفريق الآخر نحو الكرة وقام بالتصدي بكل تسديدة وعرضية فلن يكون الفوز مضموناً”.
وتابع: “قلت إنني لا أستطيع لومكم كثيراً من الناحية الكروية ولكن في المرات الأربع أو الخمس التي اضطررنا فيها للدفاع علينا بالتأكيد أن نتحسن”.
واختتم عن إيزاك الذي لا يشارك أساسياً اليوم: “لعب 30 دقيقة في الأسابيع الأربع الماضية، ثم لعب معنا 70 دقيقة، في مباراة لم تكن حماسية لأننا سيطرنا على الكرة كثيراً لكنني أعتقد أنني أدركت أنه لم يكن من السهل عليه إدارة نفسه خلال تلك الدقائق السبعين، لذا إذا كان لدينا تسعة لاعبين آخرين جيدين جداً فمن المنطقي إشراك اللاعب الآخر وهو هوجو إيكتيكي الليلة”.
