زيدان: سأعود إلى التدريب.. وأنشيلوتي لعب دورًا مهمًا في مسيرتي

أكد زين الدين زيدان، أسطورة فرنسا وريال مدريد ويوفنتوس، أنه سوف يعود من جديد إلى التدريب خلال الفترة المقبلة، موضحًا أن مدرب ريال مدريد السابق ومنتخب البرازيل الحالي، كارلو أنشيلوتي، لعب دورًا مهمًا في مسيرته كمدير فني.

زيدان لا يدرب أي نادي وذلك منذ رحيله عن تدريب نادي ريال مدريد بنهاية موسم 2021، ولم تكن له تجارب تدريبية خارج الفريق الملكي.

وبدأ زيدان مسيرته كمدير فني لريال مدريد كاستيا، ثم درب الفريق الأول للميرنجي خلال شهر يناير من عام 2016، قبل أن يرحل عام 2018 ويعود إلى ريال مدريد في ولاية ثانية عام 2020.

وأكد زيدان في تصريحات نقلها صحفي شبكة “سكاي سبورتس”، جيانلوكا دي مازاريو، أن هدفه هو تدريب منتخب فرنسا خلال الفترة المقبلة، مظهرًا حبه الكبير ليوفنتوس.

وقال زيدان: “سأعود بالتأكيد إلى التدريب، أما أنا في يوفنتوس؟ لا أعرف لماذا لم يحدث ذلك، إنه دائمًا في قلبي لأنه قدم لي الكثير، في المستقبل لا أعرف، أحد أهدافي هو تدريب المنتخب الفرنسي وسوف نرى”.

وأضاف زيدان في حديثه: “مثل جميع الأطفال تعلمت حب كرة القدم في الشوارع قبل 45 عامًا في مارسيليا، كنت ألعب دائمًا بالكرة وكنت شغوفًا بها، كنت من مشجعي مارسيليا، والداي من الجزائر وانتقلا إلى فرنسا للعمل، لكن الحياة كانت صعبة في ذلك الوقت، أنا سعيد بأبنائي لأنهم أشخاص جيدون وهذا أهم شيء بالنسبة لي”.

وعن الاختلافات بين كرة القدم بين الماضي والحاضر، أوضح زيدان: “أعتقد أنني أفتقد شيئًا اليوم مقارنةً بالماضي، عندما أشاهد المباريات أرغب في رؤية مباراة أكثر هجومية، صحيح أنني أفتقد كرة القدم في الماضي بعض الشيء”.

فترته كلاعب مع يوفنتوس: “كانت السنوات هناك رائعة، أتيت من فرنسا حيث كانت كرة القدم رائعة ولكن ليس كما في يوفنتوس، في تورينو، شعرت أن كل ما عليك فعله هو الفوز دائمًا، سواء على أرضك أو خارجها”.

وتابع: ”أكثر ما علق في ذهني في أنييلي هو أنه عندما كنت ألعب بشكل جيد كان يتصل بي في السادسة صباحًا ليهنئني، كان رجلاً نبيلًا، كان واضحًا أنه من مشجعي يوفنتوس”.

وعن أسطورة يوفنتوس، أليساندرو ديل بييرو واصل زيدان: “كان رائعًا وأحد أفضل اللاعبين في إيطاليا، كنت محظوظًا باللعب معه ومع العديد من اللاعبين الآخرين لأربع أو خمس سنوات، كان لدينا فريق جيد حقًا لكن ديل بييرو كان مميزًا”.

وقال: “من الصعب على يوفنتوس أن يفوز بدوري أبطال أوروبا، لقد وصلنا إلى النهائي مرتين وخسرنا ولا أعرف السبب، يعتمد الأمر أيضًا على النادي وعلى ما يريده، للفوز بدوري أبطال أوروبا تحتاج إلى الكثير”.

وحول اعتزاله كرة القدم أضاف زيدان: “اخترت ذلك وكان الاعتزال ما أردت فعله، ما لم أعد أحبه هو السفر والفنادق وكل ما يتعلق بها، عندما تبلغ العشرين من عمرك يكون الأمر جيدًا، لكن عندما تكبر يصبح الأمر صعبًا، كان بإمكاني اللعب لمدة سنتين أو ثلاث سنوات أخرى”.

وكيفية دخوله عالم التدريب: “عندما توقفت عن لعب كرة القدم تغيرت حياتي، بعد ثلاث سنوات لم أكن أعرف ماذا أفعل، جربت الكثير حتى التحقت بدورة تدريبية، من بين جميع المدربين الذين عملت معهم، كان ليبي هو من تعلمت منه أكثر، كان مهمًا جدًا لأنه عندما وصلت إلى إيطاليا كان الأمر صعبًا علي في البداية، لكن ليبي كان يؤمن بي دائمًا”.

وأردف: ”كان أنشيلوتي مدربي في البداية ثم أصبحت مساعده، إنه صديق جيد لي ولعب دورًا مهمًا في مسيرتي، كان مدربًا جيدًا لأنه كان يستمع إلينا نحن اللاعبين”.

وعن الصفات التي يجب أن تتوفر في المدرب: “يجب أن يكون شغوفًا بكرة القدم، ليس فقط من يفوزون هم الجيدون وهناك مدربون جيدون لا يستطيعون الفوز، أهم شيء بالنسبة لي هو إيصال رسالة للاعبين، عندما تكون شغوفًا فإنك تنقل رسالةً لهم”.

Best ST since Auba: Arsenal agree personal terms for £67m "monster"

da betobet: Arsenal finished second in the Premier League for the third season running, but you’d be blind not to see the progress that Mikel Arteta has driven across the years of his tenure.

da bet vitoria: Injuries, contentious officiating and plain bad luck all played their part in the Gunners’ setbacks in front of goal this term, but there’s also been a yawning hole at the front of the ship which has impeded Arteta’s pursuit of silverware.

To be sure, Arsenal will be frustrated with having failed to secure a new number nine across the past several transfer windows, but there’s so much to like about this team, balanced, dynamic and youthful.

Arsenal manager MikelArtetalooks dejected after the match

However, to emerge from the looming market without a brand-new centre-forward would be a travesty. Luckily, Arteta, Andrea Berta and co are on the case.

Why Arsenal need a striker

The fact Mikel Merino has been forced into 12 matches as a makeshift striker this season emphasises the injury crisis and need for more firepower at the Emirates Stadium.

Saying that, the fact Merino scored six goals and laid on three assists across those fixtures underscores his quality and Arteta’s tactical expertise.

Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz have missed much of 2025 with respective injuries, and Arsenal are ready to sign a new marksman.

Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres is one of the principal targets, with The Athletic’s David Ornstein revealing two months ago that the Gunners have been developing strong interest in the Sweden international. Sporting director Berta, in particular, is felt to be championing the potential addition.

However, Arteta feels Arsenal’s future is best served in a different direction. Indeed, there’s another name on the list. You know who it is.

Arsenal reach agreement for new ST

As per Arsenal sources, an agreement on personal terms has been reached for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, with Arsenal no doubt buoyed by the revelation that exorbitant claims of a £93m price tag are wide of the mark.

Talks are also ongoing between Arsenal and the Bundesliga club, who want a swift resolution after giving Sesko a gentleman’s agreement he could leave in a year when the Premier League outfit came knocking last summer.

With a €80m (£67m) release clause in his contract, as per Sky Germany, Arsenal will need to wrap this one up swiftly, especially with rivals Chelsea and Liverpool both registering their interest too.

What Benjamin Sesko would bring to Arsenal

Arsenal have been searching for a prolific goalscorer for several years now. You’d have to date back to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to find the last time a Gunner surpassed 20 goals in a single Premier League season.

Aubameyang might not be too fondly remembered in north London after joining Barcelona on a free transfer in February 2022, having been stripped of his captaincy due to a disciplinary issue, but who could argue against the Gabon forward’s prowess?

He scored 92 goals and provided 21 assists across just 163 appearances for Arsenal, worth the club-record £60m outlay that was paid to Borussia Dortmund for his four years of service.

To have such a prolific star back in the mix would be a brilliant move for the development of Arteta’s project, and Sesko might just be the man for the job.

RB Leipzig's BenjaminSeskocelebrates

While Sesko, 22, has yet to reach his peak, the signs of greatness are there. This season alone for Leipzig, he has scored 21 goals and added six assists from 45 appearances, 40 starts.

There’s a reason the 6 foot 5 striker has been dubbed “the next Erling Haaland” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, with his rangy profile, sinewy strength and electric pace all combining to make him the prototypical modern striker for a top outfit worth their salt.

He’s raw, full potential as yet untapped, and thus there would be an element of risk in Arsenal sealing a deal. However, Sesko is one of the most exciting young forwards on the map, hailed as a ball-striking “monster” by analyst Ben Mattinson.

But the potential is indeed staggering, and there’s every chance he could become the club’s best striker since the days of Aubameyang, who was one of the most prolific players in Europe during his finest days in an Arsenal shirt.

Perhaps he could even eclipse the former talisman. The Slovenia international has missed 18 big chances across his two campaigns in the German top flight, but he’s also put away 27 goals, as per Sofascore.

Moreover, this term he has averaged 4.1 successful duels per game, indicating an energy and combativeness that will serve him well in the harsh environs of the Premier League.

That and his brutish power. Frankly, the ingredients are all there for a superstar, and if Sesko is already serving prolifically in the Bundesliga, backed up by impressive underlying data, there’s every reason for Arsenal fans to start getting optimistic about a deal being completed.

With the likes of Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka all serving chances for him on a silver platter, this might be a move that is lauded across years to come, should Arteta get his man and provide his side with their finest centre-forward since Aubameyang.

Samson's 89* drives India D after Iyer bags another duck

Bhui, Padikkal and Bharat also scored fifties as India D ended the opening day on 306 for 5

Shreyas Iyer bagged his second duck in as many Duleep Trophy games but half-centuries from Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, KS Bharat and Ricky Bhui helped India D gain the upper hand against India B in Anantapur.Samson stayed unbeaten on 89 off 83 balls at stumps, taking India D to 306 for 5 in 77 overs. He had Saransh Jain for company on 26.After India B had elected to bowl, their bowlers were in for an early toil with Padikkal and Bharat stitching a 105-run stand for the opening wicket in 31.1 overs. Padikkal having scored fifties in both Duleep Trophy games so far added a third during a knock in which he hit eight fours. Bharat, who was promoted up the order, also cashed in stroking 52 off 105 balls with nine fours.Padikkal was the first to depart edging Navdeep Saini through to the wicketkeeper. Bharat followed suit soon after, caught behind off Mukesh Kumar. Nishant Sindhu and Ricky Bhui then added a 53-run stand for the third wicket but when Rahul Chahar struck twice in quick succession, India D found themselves in a spot of bother.The legspinner first had Sindhu caught in the 47th over. In his very next over then, he sent back Iyer for a five-ball duck as India D slipped to 175 for 4.Bhui, fresh from a fourth-innings 113 in the previous match, continued his good form to become the third half-centurion of the innings. But like his other team-mates, he also fell in the fifties with Chahar grabbing his third wicket of the day. Bhui departed for 56 off 87 balls with nine fours.Samson, however, made sure to carry on. He struck ten fours and three sixes in his quick half-century, dominating an unbroken 90-run stand off 109 balls with Jain.For India B, Chahar was the most successful bowler picking up 3 for 60 in 13 overs while Mukesh and Saini chipped with a wicket apiece.

Emi Martinez's most controversial moments

da cassino online: Over the last few years, Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has gained a reputation for rubbing people up the wrong way.

da marjack bet: Whether it’s penalty antics or goading the crowd, the World Cup winner has made his fair share of enemies. But how has he irritated so many with his performances and antics? Here, we take a look at the moments that made Martinez one of football’s best wind-up merchants.

The Best 15 Goalkeepers in World Football Ranked (2025)

Who’s number one of the best number ones in the world?

1 ByCharlie Smith Nov 28, 2025 1 Psyching out Yerry Mina Argentina v Colombia, 2021 Copa America

Martinez took full advantage of an empty stadium at the pandemic-delayed Copa America in 2021 by using his taunting skills to put off Yerry Mina during a tense semi-final penalty shootout.

With the scores locked at 1-1, Martinez hurled insults at the defender, saying: “You’re nervous, huh? You’re laughing but you’re nervous. Yeah, yeah. You’re nervous. You’re nervous.

“Hey! The ball is ahead [of the penalty spot]. Yeah, yeah. Turn a blind eye. I already know you.

“Hey, look. See how I know where you’ll shoot. And then I’ll save it. I’m eating you up, brother. I’m eating you up, brother.”

Martinez had successfully flustered his opponent, and Colombia lost 3-2 on penalties, while Argentina went on to win the tournament with a 1-0 win over Brazil.

2 Winding up Ronaldo and teasing United fans Man Utd v Aston Villa, 2021/22 Premier League

With Aston Villa holding on for what would be a historic victory at Old Trafford, those hopes were left dangling by a thread when Man Utd were awarded a stoppage-time penalty.

Not fazed by the situation at all, Martinez prepared his wind-up act.

With Bruno Fernandes appearing favourite to take the kick, Martinez appeared to gesture towards Cristiano Ronaldo to take the kick himself, presumably to get in Fernandes’ head.

Fernandes was the one to eventually step up but ballooned his shot over the bar, leading Martinez to shake his hips at the devastated crowd to add insult to injury.

3 Dancing at the World Cup Netherlands v Argentina, 2022 World Cup

Martinez brought his post-penalty dancing to a global audience when the Netherlands and Argentina met in the World Cup quarter-finals.

After a 2-2 draw in normal time, the sides couldn’t be separated in the extra period, either – which meant it was time for Martinez to strut his stuff again.

The Villa ‘keeper kept out Virgil van Dijk to get the shootout off to a flyer, before repeating the trick with Steven Berghuis’ spot-kick.

The latter prompted La Albiceleste’s No 1 to celebrate with the fans, with the kicks being taken at the Argentina end. He was later labelled “crazy” for his actions, but that didn’t stop him from repeating them in the final.

4 Making crude gesture with the Golden Glove Argentina v France, 2022 World Cup

Winning the World Cup is a moment of immense pride, but you can also get carried away in the delirium of taking home football’s biggest prize.

Emi Martinez fell victim to this in the presentations following Argentina’s dramatic shootout win over France, during which he was handed the Golden Glove for being the best goalkeeper at the tournament.

Upon receiving the trophy, Martinez made a lewd gesture among a series of post-match taunts, angering the French FA, which launched an official complaint against his behaviour.

He had also called for a minute’s silence for Kylian Mbappe in the dressing room after denying the hat-trick hero a second World Cup.

5 Battling fellow mischief-maker Neal Maupay Brentford v Aston Villa, 2023/24 Premier League

Martinez vs Maupay is perhaps as box-office as it can get when it comes to a certain type of, shall we say ‘housery’.

And during a heated match between Brentford and Aston Villa in the 2023/24 Premier League, both players came to blows as they tried to outdo each other.

The main flashpoint between them came when Maupay collided with Martinez when retrieving a ball that went out of play, with Martinez making the most of the contact.

Moments later, Maupay went down under even lighter contact from the goalkeeper, with Martinez attempting to drag the Frenchman to his feet and Maupay almost ending up with his shirt over his head.

It was as farcical as it was entertaining.

6 Yellow card chaos (and more crowd-teasing) Lille v Aston Villa, 2023/24 Conference League

Martinez was the villain of the piece once again as Aston Villa prevailed in the Conference League quarter-finals.

Despite already being on a yellow card, the Villa shot-stopper wasted no time getting to work once the game entered a shootout.

As Nabil Bentaleb was stepping forward to take Lille’s first penalty, Martinez made sure he got to the ball first, much to the annoyance of the home support – before saving from the Algerian.

Martinez proceeded to gloat by shushing the Lille faithful, who responded by hurling objects at the Argentinian.

The goalkeeper’s protestations – or provocations – as a result of the missiles led to another yellow card from the referee, who had repeatedly warned Martinez he was on a tightrope.

Staying on the pitch due to a rarely seen rule regarding cautions not being carried over into penalty shootouts.

Not done there, Martinez then saved a match-winning kick from Benjamin Andre, before failing to resist a final celebratory jig in the direction of the fans.

7 Scrapping with Jack Grealish Aston Villa v Man City, 2024/25 Premier League

Jack Grealish didn’t get the best of receptions when he came back to Villa Park with Manchester City earlier this season, handing Martinez a chance to gee up the home supporters.

Martinez took issue with Grealish after the former Villa hero approached the referee to make a complaint, supposedly about the amount of added time.

Grealish got a shove from the goalkeeper for his troubles, and after Martinez was booked for his role in the skirmish, the two players continued to trade verbal blows down the tunnel.

Luckily for Grealish, he’s not the first, nor the last, player to let Martinez get under his skin.

عبد الحليم علي ينتقد أداء الزمالك مع فيريرا.. ويصرح: المؤشرات واضحة منذ بداية الموسم

تحدث عبد الحليم علي، لاعب نادي الزمالك السابق، عن مستوي أداء الفريق خلال المباريات التي خاضها في بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز، خلال الفترة الأخيرة.

الزمالك كان قد خاض 5 مباريات في بطولة الدوري المصري، فاز في 3 مباريات وتعادل في واحدة وخسر في لقاء، ويحتل المركز الثاني برصيد 10 نقاط.

وقال علي خلال تصريحات عبر قناة الزمالك لبرنامج “زملكاوي”: “كل المؤشرات منذ بداية الموسم تقول إن الزمالك سيقع، الأداء وبداية التشكيل والتبديلات واضح أن بها سلبيات”.

Torcida do São Paulo se empolga em quebrar recorde de público de arena do Palmeiras, mas carga limitada impede 'sonho'

MatériaMais Notícias

da brdice: Em meio às dificuldades de se comprar pela internet os ingressos, a torcida do São Paulo se animou durante o sábado (11) e promoveu, por meio das redes sociais, o sonho de quebrar o recorde de público do Allianz Parque, arena do rival Palmeiras, no jogo das quartas de final do Campeonato Paulista contra o Água Santa, às 20h (de Brasília) de segunda-feira (13).

Mas há um empecilho para que o sonho de cravar seu nome na história do estádio do arquirrival se torne realidade: a carga de ingressos. Diferentes de jogos do próprio Verdão, pouco mais de 41 mil bilhetes foram disponibilizados aos tricolores. Em partidas dos donos da casa, esse número beira os 42 mil.

Na internet, muita reclamação por parte dos são-paulinos. E algumas teorias da conspiração de que foi algo planejado pelo Palmeiras. Mas, ao LANCE!, fontes da Polícia Militar apontam que é de praxe uma carga menor do que a capacidade total da arena, de 43,7 mil pessoas, por conta da divisa de torcida visitante.

Não à toa, os recordes de público do time alviverde em sua casa são justamente nos clássicos, disputados com torcida única. O maior número de pessoas no Allianz Parque, por exemplo, foi registrado na eliminação do Verdão para o próprio São Paulo nas oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil do ano passado: 41.361 presentes, com uma carga um pouco superior a 42 mil disponibilizada à venda.

O São Paulo não divulgou, por todo o último sábado, nenhuma parcial de ingressos vendidos por meio de suas redes sociais oficiais. Apenas pediu desculpas aos torcedores pelas dificuldades encontradas por eles na compra dos ingressos, reconhecendo os problemas causados pelo acúmulo de acessos. Apesar dos pesares, a tendência é que os bilhetes esgotem já neste domingo (12).

Green light from Howe: Newcastle readying £30m+ move to sign "complete" ace

da 888casino: Setting their sights on the summer transfer window, Newcastle United have now received a green light from manager Eddie Howe to make their move for a defensive reinforcement worth over £30m.

Newcastle readying £30m+ move

da dobrowin: The Magpies have been forced to sit out of transfer drama in recent years, but look set to come flying out of their profit and sustainability shackles to welcome a number of key reinforcements. As a result, the rumours have been coming thick and fast over just who Howe and his side could welcome with open arms when the summer arrives.

Names such as Jonathan David, for example, have been mentioned in what would instantly ease any Newcastle fears over replacing Alexander Isak. The LOSC Lille star has matched the Swede for goals this season and could yet replace the Arsenal-linked forward if he decides to leave in the coming months.

Lille'sJonathanDavidcelebrates scoring their first goal with Edon Zhegrov

What Isak’s exit would certainly do is hand PIF their greatest spending power since arriving at St James’ Park, perhaps accelerating the Magpies’ progress under their Saudi owners.

With or without the sale of Isak, however, those on Tyneside have already reportedly set their sights on one summer target. According to The Times, Howe has now given Newcastle the green light to sign Jarell Quansah with PIF now reportedly readying a move worth £30m, plus add-ons in the coming months.

The Magpies initially wanted the central defender last summer when Liverpool came in for Anthony Gordon and it seems as though their interest in the Anfield academy graduate has remained.

Newcastle now open talks to sign 20-goal striker who once owned Lascelles

He could form quite the partnership with Isak…

ByTom Cunningham Mar 26, 2025

One year on, a deal could be far easier to advance, given how Quansah has struggled to make his mark under Arne Slot. In the face of those struggles, Newcastle reportedly hope to lure the defender to St James’ Park using the prospect of consistent game time.

"Complete" Quansah needs Newcastle move

After flying under Jurgen Klopp, Quansah has seen his wings clipped by Slot since the Dutchman’s Anfield arrival. Having started against Ipswich Town on the opening day of the season, the defender’s struggles started from the very first game of the campaign with Slot deciding to haul him off for Ibrahima Konate at half time.

Since then, things haven’t improved. The England defender has started just one Premier League game since that frustrating afternoon at Portman Road, ironically coming in a 3-3 draw against Newcastle. Having been dubbed “complete” by football talent scout Jacek Kulig last season, Quansah desperately needs a move if he is to rediscover that level.

Newcastle could certainly do with a young defender too. As things stand, Howe has just one central defender below 30 years old in the form of Sven Botman, who has endured plenty of injury struggles in the last two seasons.

Mitchell ruled out of second South Africa Test and Australia T20Is

The top-order batter has been carrying a long-term foot injury and will now aim to be fit for the Australia Test series

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Feb-20242:15

Stead: Williamson unlikely for Australia T20Is, Boult is available

Daryl Mitchell has been ruled out of the second Test against South Africa and the T20I series against Australia in an attempt to recover from a long-standing foot injury.Mitchell, who averages 53.46 in Tests, has been carrying the problem for around six or seven months and was rested from the final T20I against Pakistan in January, but it has been decided he needs a longer period on the sidelines to give himself the best chance of being fit for the two-Test series against Australia.Related

“We took the opportunity to rest him a little earlier but after seeking medical advice on this as well it’s likely that he needs a longer period of time,” New Zealand coach Gary Stead said. “It’s really tough, because there’s not a lot breaks coming up in the next wee while so thought this gives us nearly three weeks to try and give him the chance of the best recuperation from it.”There’s no guarantees this will still work in that period of time but we are very hopeful that it will improve his chances of getting through a longer stint with us.”New Zealand have not called up a replacement for Mitchell with Will Young the spare batter in the squad and he could come in as a like-for-like swap. However, there remains a chance the side may be rebalanced with Glenn Phillips and Mitchell Santner moving up the order and another pace bowler brought in with Stead confirming the uncapped Will O’Rourke remained in contention for a debut.”[Will Young] is definitely one of the options,” Stead said. “Will’s there as back up [and] Glenn Phillips has shown he’s more than useful and it could be shaped differently. We are very happy with the squad we have. Daryl’s obviously a huge loss, though, he’s been instrumental in a number of outstanding batting performances but it’s important for him and us that we get this right long term.”Meanwhile, Kane Williamson is unlikely to be available for the T20Is against Australia – a format where he is captain – as his wife is expecting their third child. However, Trent Boult could come into consideration for those matches with the left-arm quick not having any franchise commitments at that time.”Trent’s available if we want to select him,” Stead said. “Him and I are still having conversations…hopefully in the next couple of days to nail down what that looks like.”
