Boxing icon Roy Jones Jr believes David Benavidez may have missed a golden career opportunity if he did not make heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk his next opponent.

Last week, “The Mexican Monster” took his record to 32-0 with a sixth-round knockout of WBA and WBO cruiserweight champion Gilberto Ramirez. This victory was a very successful debut for Benavidez in a new weight class. This also means that he is now a three-division world champion.

The 29-year-old’s status in the game has never been higher, and he can now make his own decisions. Because he’s no longer a hunter, he’s a big-money star that other fighters are hunting. That’s why former four-division titlist Jones Jr. believes Benavidez should change divisions again, this time making the move to heavyweight.

Roy Jones: Benavidez vs. Usyk ‘one of the biggest fights of this decade’

in a new version of sports hall Podcast with fellow boxing great Andre Ward, Jones Jr. claimed that a super fight between Benavidez and Usyk would be “one of the biggest fights of this decade.” He believes Benavidez should take advantage of the opportunity and not get caught up in other fights.

“It wouldn’t be wise for David Benavidez to give Jay Opetia a chance right now because he’s hot,” Jones Jr. said.

The boxing legend explained that with the value of his name as strong as ever, Benavidez will have to seize the biggest money-making opportunities. Especially since a long-expected clash with Canelo Alvarez has eluded him.

“You can always come back and fight Opetaiya if you want. If you lost to Usyk, the Opetaiya fight is still there. If you lost to Opetaiya, the Usyk fight is over. So be smart about this thing,” he said.

There has been speculation about a Benavidez vs. Usyk bout in 2026. However, as boxing fans know, it is always difficult to get a matchup of that magnitude. Luckily, both men are very game fighters and are ready for big challenges. Which gives it a better chance of becoming a reality.

New Jersey Devils general manager Sunny Mehta officially has the exact numbers he can work with in the 2026-27 NHL season.

According to Elliotte Friedman, the NHL officially set the 2026-27 salary cap and notified its 32 clubs.

According to Friedman, the structure is as follows:

• land: $76.9 million
• Middle: $90.4 million
• Roof: $104 million ($8.5 million increase from 2025-26)
• Maximum individual player salary: $20.8 million

This is a significant league-wide increase of $8.5 million from last July that comes at an ideal time for the Devils as they transition to a new era under Mehta.

Projected cap position on July 1, 2026

According to the latest projections from Pukpedia, the Devils are expected to enter the 2026-27 season with a projected cap hit of $92.125 million. This leaves them with approximately $11.875 million in cap space under the $104 million cap.

Obviously, the Devils’ projected cap hit sits comfortably above the $76.9 million floor and just above the $90.4 million midpoint, giving them solid flexibility while still being in a strong position for floor compliance.

The projection has approximately 18 of the 23 active roster spots filled, with a total of 28 standard contracts and no significant dead money or buyout fees beyond bonus overages.

Bonus overage for 2026-27

The Devils will carry $1.25 million in performance-bonus overage into the 2026–27 season. This amount is added directly to their 2026-27 cap hit – which unfortunately reduces the available cap space.

Older Age Details:

• Simon Nemec ($750,000): Earned through three “A” bonuses (goals, plus/minus, and time on ice).
• Evgeny Dadonov ($500,000): Triggered via bonuses in games played ($250K in 10 games and $250K in 20 games).

These bonuses will be fully implemented due to the team’s LTIR usage in 2025-26.

Major pending free agents and extension candidates

With a projected cap space of $11.875 million, Mehta has room to address pending free agents and extensions.

Restricted Free Agent (RFA) – High Priority

• Simon Nemec (D): Breakout young defenseman and key building block.
• Arseniy Gritsyuk (RW): Promising winger with secondary scoring ability.
• Paul Cotter (LW/C): Physical depth forward.

Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA) – Depth Options

• Evgeny Dadonov (RW/LW): Veteran contributor who started his share of the bonus overage; Possible low-cost refund or replacement.

Notable extension-eligible players (under contract for 2026–27)

• Nico Hischier (C): Team captain and No. 1 center – Eligible for an extension through July 1. Keeping the 27-year-old leader safe for the long term is a key priority.
• Dawson Mercer (RW): Versatile 24-year-old middle-six forward—also extension-eligible on July 1. If a deal is not signed this summer, the Devils retain the RFA rights through 2027. Mercer is arbitration eligible.

Strategic implications for Devils under Sunny Mehta

An estimated $11.875 million in space (after a $1.25 million cap) gives Mehta a worthwhile option for July 1:

• He may prefer an extension for Hischier (and if Mehta determines Mercer is part of the future) while handling a key RFA like Nemec.
• Add target depth in free agency to improve bottom-six scoring, defense or goaltending.
• Maintain flexibility for important trades, in-season moves or LTIR use.

Looking ahead, the rising cap (expected to reach $113,500,000 in 2027–28) will create room for even more relief when the current contract expires. The core comprising Hischier, Jack Hughes, Luke Hughes, Jasper Bratt, Timo Meier and others remains locked in, providing a strong foundation for Mehta’s approach.

Of course, projections can change rapidly with trades, signings or bonus outcomes. As mentioned, the Devils should make a deal for a top-6 forward to play alongside Jack and Bratt.

However, overall, the official outlook is positive.

The new $104 million cap hit puts the Devils in position to have what should be a productive offseason as Mehta begins to shape the roster for contention.

However, Mehta’s hurdle will be navigating Tom Fitzgerald’s no-move/trade clause on New Jersey’s roster.

The Montreal Canadiens faced off against the Buffalo Sabers on Wednesday night, with both teams attempting to pick up a statement win in the first game of their second-round series.

Before puck drop, a pair of lineup changes were confirmed by head coach Martin Saint-Louis. Joe Velano was used in his first playoff game, centering the fourth line between Zachary Bolduc and Kirby Dach, while Arbor Zekaj was paired with Noah Dobson on the third pairing.

The Habs managed to outpoint the Sabres, but it was not enough to ensure the victory, as Buffalo emerged with a 4–2 victory.

Let’s look at the highlights!

saber strike

As is often the case in hockey, a strong play at one end of the ice can lead to an immediate goal at the other end. After a play in which Lane Hutson hit the crossbar, he proceeded to cough up the puck at Montreal’s blue line, creating a 3v1 for the Sabres.

Noah Dobson attempted to slide to break up the pass, but failed to make an impact, resulting in Josh Doan’s second goal of the playoffs and a 1–0 Sabers lead.

final reaction

The Sabers would take a two-goal lead before the Canadiens could respond, although it must be said that the teams were fairly evenly matched at 5v5. More than anything, the powerplay dictated the pace.

Speaking of which, the Habs needed a power play before finding the back of the net. They also needed a precise pass from Juraj Slafkowski and a smart finish from captain Nick Suzuki to cut the Sabers’ lead to 2–1.

A perfect pass from Juraj Slafkowski set up Nick Suzuki’s second goal of the playoffs.

first banana

It must be said that Jacob Dobbs was Montreal’s Most Valuable Player in the first round, but he did not enjoy his best game of the playoffs on Wednesday night.

He wasn’t terrible by any means, but for the first time since the regular season ended we saw a version of Dobbs that lacked confidence, let alone poise.

The Sabers scored four times on nine shots, although two of those goals came on the power play. To Dobbs’ credit, most of the shots were good scoring opportunities, and the defensemen playing in front of him were generous with gifts.

tertiary scoring

With the Sabers leading 4-1, fourth-line forward Kirby Dach picked the perfect time to inject some energy into the mix through a great individual effort and a beautiful goal.

The second chance marker, which involved typical hand-eye coordination, cut the lead to 4-2, but more importantly, brought the Habs back into the game at a time when they were in danger of quietly disappearing. Instead, they had more than 20 minutes to ensure that they provided an honest effort to open the series.

To Montreal’s credit, they applied pressure, and spent much of the third period on Buffalo’s end, but it was all in vain, as the Sabers held on long enough to defeat the Canadiens 4–2.

Very good! What a goal from Kirby Dach! #GoHabsGo pic.twitter.com/S70CqWC9Fn

虽然伯明翰城球迷可能会对今年对阵巴塞罗那的季前友谊赛感到兴奋，但他们应该用不受欢迎的现实来缓和这种情绪。

为什么？因为世界杯也在今年夏天举行，7月份前往英格兰的巴塞罗那队可能会减少阵容。

今天西班牙的一份报道解释说巴塞罗那正计划前往英格兰进行为​​期两周的旅行 今年夏天，他们将在英格兰的圣乔治公园度过时光。在那之前将在内罗毕进行一场友谊赛，然后在摩洛哥进行另一场友谊赛。

计划从 7 月 27 日起在圣乔治度过一段时间^th 至8月8日^th。其中将包括在训练营的头几天对阵伯明翰城的季前友谊赛。

据《世界体育报》报道，蓝军之所以被选中是因为他们靠近圣乔治公园。

伯明翰城的兴奋

这个消息自然在伯明翰城引起了极大的兴奋。他们的球迷期待着加泰罗尼亚豪门的到来。但遗憾的是，由于世界杯的缘故，能够前往此行的巴塞罗那队可能会受到一些限制。

例如，拉明·亚马尔、佩德里、保罗·库巴斯、费明·洛佩斯、丹尼·奥尔莫和费兰·托雷斯都可能出现在西班牙队的名单中。

琼·加西亚也可能是守门员的选择之一，而亚历杭德罗·巴尔德、埃里克·加西亚、马克·卡萨多和加维也都可以得到认可。

弗兰基·德容（Frenkie De Jong）也将入选荷兰队，而儒勒·孔德（Jules Koundé）也将入选法国队。若奥·坎塞洛也是葡萄牙队的常客，而马库斯·拉什福德很可能会出现在英格兰队的名单中。拉菲尼亚也将出现在巴西队的名单中。

谁将加入球队？

因此，沃伊切赫·什琴斯尼和迭戈·科亨将担任守门员，安德烈亚斯·克里斯滕森和杰拉德·马丁担任后防线。

马克·伯纳尔应该可以上场，而罗伯特·莱万多夫斯基则在前面。但后者的合同将于今年夏天到期，这位37岁的球员与离开的传闻密切相关。

事实上，他的经纪人本周将与巴塞罗那会面进行会谈。最近几天，加泰罗尼亚媒体比以前更倾向于莱万多夫斯基留下来。他很有可能成为最耀眼的明星。

许多球员也可以从租借合同中回归，例如赫克托·福特、伊纳基·佩纳和安苏·法蒂。但这还有待观察。

现在，显然世界杯将于 7 月 19 日结束^th，因此上述缺席者届时不会参加比赛。但距离决赛仅八天，他就前往英格兰了。因此，如果夺冠热门之一的西班牙能够做到这一点，那么将会有大批球队缺席。

当然，目前这还只是猜测。但伯明翰城球迷可能希望降低在圣安德鲁球场看到完整的巴塞罗那队阵容的期望。

切尔西的 之前对菲利佩·路易斯的兴趣可能比最初理解的更进一步，许可问题成为幕后的主要障碍。

这位巴西教练在今年早些时候离开弗拉门戈后仍然没有离开任何俱乐部，但他的注意力仍然坚定地放在欧洲。

体育见证人已经透露 英冠俱乐部 QPR、米德尔斯堡和沃特福德与他的阵营取得了联系，同时 切尔西也重新审视了他的名字 利亚姆·罗尼奥尔 (Liam Rosenior) 被解雇后。

现在，新的报道来自 批评 给这种情况增添了另一个重要的层面。

据巴西媒体报道，菲利佩·路易斯正在加紧努力，尽快获得欧足联职业执照，以便在英格兰和欧洲其他地方执教。由于缺乏这一资格，目前无法立即任命为主教练。

牌照问题成为焦点

报告解释说，菲利佩·路易斯和他的工作人员正试图通过法律和行政渠道加快这一进程。

据报道，已经与巴西足协进行了联系，试图验证他之前的执教经验并加快批准速度。

如果没有欧足联职业执照，菲利佩·路易斯仍然可以作为教练组的一员在欧洲工作。然而，他无法正式担任大多数大联盟的一线队主教练。

这个细节与切尔西的案例尤其相关。

据 A Critica 报道，伦敦俱乐部密切关注他在弗拉门戈的工作，并认真考虑任命他。然而，与他的教练执照相关的法律和监管问题阻止了这一举动的进一步进展。

英格兰仍然是一个现实的目的地

菲利佩·路易斯在弗拉门戈的短暂执教期间创造了南美足球史上最强的执教纪录之一。

在101场比赛中，他的胜率保持在接近70%。他的球队在那场比赛中打进了 180 多个进球，场均进球超过 1.8 个。他还连续赢得了五个主要奖杯。

现在，尽管许可问题变得复杂，但英格兰看起来仍然是一个现实的下一个目的地。

尽管米德尔斯堡、沃特福德和女王公园巡游者仍然关注着局势，但切尔西的钦佩之情也没有消失。

不过，就目前而言，菲利佩·路易斯的下一步行动可能更少取决于兴趣，而更多地取决于文书工作。

Despite entering the 2025 campaign with very low outside expectations, the New Orleans Saints performed better than anyone expected in Kellen Moore’s first season as head coach, finishing with a 6–11 record. If nothing else, the Saints’ season, which saw several young players receive extensive playing time, set the table for a bright future.

Now, after an offseason of retooling, the Saints feel like they are ready to take a big leap forward as Tyler Shaw enters his second season of play. To get there, the Saints will continue to take risks on star talent.

Recently, the Saints invited one-time Pro Bowl kicker Youngho Koo to their upcoming rookie minicamp.

New Orleans had two different kickers last season, Charlie Smith and Blake Grupp. The latter really struggled, missing an NFL-high eight kicks during Week 12. The Saints released Group due to his accuracy issues, and he has since signed with the Indianapolis Colts.

Smith was more accurate, completing 75% of his field goal attempts, compared to Gruppe’s 69.2%. Both made all their extra point attempts.

As for Koo, the 31-year-old kicker played one game with the Atlanta Falcons and five games with the New York Giants last season. Still, he only made 66.7% of his field goals and 92.9% of his extra points, which is why he’s still looking for a contract at this stage in the offseason.

The Saints have Smith and undrafted rookie Mason Shipley on the roster. Koo hopes to work his way into the mix as well, and a strong showing in minicamp from May 8-10 will certainly help.

纽卡斯尔联 和 布伦特福德 两人都在密切关注莱切后卫蒂亚戈·加布里埃尔。

这位21岁的中后卫本赛季在意大利悄然建立了良好的声誉。

本赛季他的传球完成率为88.12%，平均每90分钟有1.83次拦截、1.34次拦截和6.86次解围。

他还贡献了三个进球，这只会增加俱乐部寻找能够冲击两个禁区的后卫的吸引力。值得注意的是，莱切本赛季的最佳射手只有四个！

当然，蒂亚戈·加布里埃尔在意甲圈子之外可能还不是一个广为人知的名字。然而，有一个资料对英超联赛的招聘部门来说具有直接意义。

这位身高196厘米的前葡萄牙体育青训球员带来了明显的身体存在感。然而莱切的工作人员也非常信任他的控球能力。

根据周三的版 游戏之后，尤文图斯派出球探观看了莱切最近对阵比萨的比赛。 AC米兰也在追踪这位葡萄牙后卫。但纽卡斯尔和布伦特福德是根据英格兰的情况而被列入名单的。

体育背景和意甲崛起

蒂亚戈·加布里埃尔在里斯本竞技青训营度过了六年时光，随后加盟葡萄牙球队阿马多拉埃斯特雷拉。随后莱切在2024/25赛季前签下了他，此后他在意大利的发展迅速加快。

由于对中后卫的战术要求，意甲联赛经常被证明是年轻后卫的有用试验场。这种背景也许可以解释为什么像尤文图斯和米兰这样的俱乐部现在正在密切关注。

莱切刚刚确保了下赛季的顶级联赛地位，可能需要兑现一些资产来补强球队。蒂亚戈·加布里埃尔是他们本赛季的关键球员之一，其他球员还有门将弗拉基米罗·法尔科内和中场球员伊贝尔·拉马达尼。

去年， 西汉姆联试图签下他 1800 万欧元，但最终退出。 布伦特福德也尝试了 2000 万欧元的报价 但这没有被接受。什么时候 伯恩茅斯被击倒，意大利报道称莱切 “除非提供 20-2500 万欧元的费用，否则他们甚至不会坐下来谈判”。

因此，意大利方面预计会为一笔重要的出售收取高额费用。

为什么纽卡斯尔和布伦特福德正在考虑

纽卡斯尔在最近的几个窗口中将目光投向了葡萄牙、意大利和南美，通常优先考虑能够快速适应英超联赛强度的身体素质。

与此同时，布伦特福德 本赛季早些时候就已经有兴趣了。蜜蜂队一直以拥有强大数据资料的运动后卫为目标。他们特别喜欢那些能够防守大空间并在组织阶段做出贡献的球员。

蒂亚戈·加布里埃尔似乎满足了其中的许多要求。他年轻、高大、防守积极，尽管年纪很大，但已经在欧洲主要联赛中拥有丰富的经验。

预计两家具乐部今年夏天都会重新考虑防守选择，尤其是在球队深度和长期规划存在不确定性的情况下。

日益激烈的竞争对于这个故事来说可能变得很重要。目前还没有迹象表明英格兰或意大利有正式投标。然而，人们对蒂亚戈·加布里埃尔的兴趣显然变得越来越难以忽视。

紐卡斯爾聯隊和布倫特福德隊都在密切關注萊切後衛蒂亞戈·加布里埃爾。

萊切剛剛確保了下個賽季的頂級聯賽地位，可能需要兌現一些資產來補強球隊。蒂亞戈·加布里埃爾是他們本賽季的關鍵球員之一，其他球員還有門將弗拉基米羅·法爾科內和中場球員伊貝爾·拉馬達尼。

While many wrestling fans think Will Ospreay is the best wrestler on the planet right now, the AEW Superstar believes he has already peaked inside the ring. And this was years ago.

Before becoming a huge household name in the United States with AEW, on the other side of the world, Ospreay developed a reputation as one of the industry’s finest talents during a memorable run in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Winning many of the promotion’s top titles and taking part in classic matches.

Since joining AEW in 2023, the Englishman has maintained the high standard he set in NJPW. In a promotion that has already had a number of legendary matches since its debut in 2019, Ospreay has also cemented his place in All Elite lore with some of his amazing matches over the past three years.

Still, despite being in several five-star matches, he doesn’t think AEW fans have seen the best version of him, and they probably never will. In a new conversation with Forbes, Will Ospreay gave a very interesting opinion about his tenure in NJPW.

You have to respect Ospreay’s honesty. Rarely do high-level athletes admit that their best days are behind them. Especially at the age of 32. However, after a long career of death-defying moves and double fusion neck surgery last year, it will be difficult for him to recapture that level of athleticism.

However, that doesn’t mean he can’t still be the best wrestler on the planet and have many more legendary fights ahead of him. It just has to be done differently.

Manchester United Midfielder Casemiro has generally responded directly to criticism from Jamie Carragher. And liverpool Ultimately he was also included in the conversation.

Carragher questioned Casemiro’s level early this season, particularly during periods when the midfielder lost his place and looked physically weak. At the time, many people wondered whether Manchester United was taking on a declining player on a huge salary.

A few months later, the mood looks very different.

Casemiro fought his way back into the team, becoming important again, scoring goals and helping United out of difficult moments. so when tnt sports brazil After Carragher’s comments were brought up, the midfielder clearly had some fun with the reply.

Casemiro counter-attacks Carragher

“Everyone on television says anything. I’m not one to engage in them,” Casimiro said.

“But it’s a bit normal, because I won two Champions League titles on his team. Maybe there is some bitterness there after winning two titles against his club.”

The Manchester United midfielder paused. In fact, he credited Carragher with ultimately changing his stance.

“I respect his opinion. I hold no resentment. The important thing is that he recognized he was wrong and changed his opinion. That’s what matters most.”

Still, Casemiro clearly seems tired of the modern football cycle of outrage.

“Nowadays everyone has an opinion, everyone wants to go viral. Everyone thinks they know football, everyone thinks they’re a star, everyone thinks they understand everything. Today if you win, you’re the best and if you lose, you’re the worst. But football isn’t always like that.”

He also explained why he avoids social media completely.

“That’s why I don’t even have social media on my phone. Everyone wants attention now.”

Casemiro says return changed manager’s opinion

The Brazilian also revealed what he considers one of the biggest achievements of his career – changing Ruben Amorim’s mind.

At one point this year, Amorim did not trust him physically. Casemiro admitted that the manager had openly questioned whether he still had the required intensity.

Instead of accepting the situation and quietly moving towards the exit, the midfielder decided to fight back.

“One of the greatest achievements of my career was to come back and change a manager’s opinion,” He said.

“He said I didn’t have intensity. Then later he admitted he changed his opinion because of what he saw in training sessions and matches.”

Casemiro also admitted that many players would have been mentally tired in that situation.

“With all humility, the easiest thing would be to say: ‘The manager doesn’t want me? OK. I’ve already won everything, I’ve achieved enough, let it go.’ But no. I kept working. I kept trying to show the manager that he was wrong about me.

Ultimately that persistence bore fruit.

“I managed to change their opinion. I started playing again and had a great end to the season.”

Strong support for Michael Carrick

Casemiro also used the interview to strongly endorse Carrick’s work at Manchester United.

The Brazilian repeatedly praised the interim manager and made it clear that he believes Carrick should stay long-term.

“He came in as interim manager, but he handled the difficult matches very well,” Casimiro explained. “He knows the club, he understands what Manchester United is. He has class. He has the currency of a Manchester United man.”

“For me, this guy has to stay at the club for more years because he deserves it. He deserves it so much.”

Casemiro even suggested that Carrick’s personality is evident behind the scenes.

“When you work with him every day, you look at him and think: ‘This guy deserves this.'”

Casemiro has already done Confirmed he will leave Manchester United At the end of the season. Yet just before walking away, he managed to craft one final comeback story, silencing some critics and taking a dig at Liverpool while doing so.

曼联 中场球员卡塞米罗以典型的直接方式回应了杰米·卡拉格的批评。和 利物浦 最后也被拉进了谈话。

卡拉格本赛季早些时候对卡塞米罗的水平提出了质疑，特别是在这位中场球员失去位置并且身体看起来很脆弱的时期。当时，很多人都想知道曼联是否以高额工资雇佣了一名不断下滑的球员。

几个月过去了，心情看起来大不一样了。

卡塞米罗重返球队，再次变得重要，进球并帮助曼联度过了困难时刻。所以当 TNT 体育巴西 当谈到卡拉格的评论时，这位中场球员显然对这个答案很感兴趣。

卡塞米罗回击卡拉格

“每个人在电视上想说什么就说什么。我不是参与其中的人，” 卡塞米罗说道。

“但这有点正常，因为我战胜了他的球队赢得了两次欧冠冠军。也许在你对阵他的俱乐部赢得了两次冠军之后，仍然会有一些苦涩。”

这位曼联中场球员确实停了下来。事实上，他称赞卡拉格最终改变了自己的立场。

“我尊重他的意见。我没有任何怨恨。重要的是他认识到自己错了，改变了看法。这才是最重要的。”

尽管如此，卡塞米罗显然对现代足球的愤怒周期感到疲惫不堪。

“现在每个人都有自己的观点，每个人都想像病毒一样传播。每个人都认为自己了解足球，每个人都认为自己是明星，每个人都认为自己了解一切。今天，如果你赢了，你就是最好的，如果你输了，你就是最差的。但足球并不总是这样。”

他甚至解释了为什么他完全避开社交媒体。

“这就是为什么我的手机上什至没有社交媒体。现在每个人都希望受到关注。”

卡塞米罗表示复出改变了主教练的看法

巴西人还谈到了他认为自己职业生涯中最大的成就之一——改变了鲁本·阿莫林的想法。

今年的某个阶段，阿莫林根本不信任他的身体。卡塞米罗承认主教练公开质疑他是否仍然具备所需的强度。

这位中场球员并没有接受这种情况并静静地走向出口，而是决定反击。

“我职业生涯中最大的成就之一就是这次复出并改变了主帅的看法。” 他说。

“他说我没有强度。后来他承认，由于他在训练和比赛中看到的情况，他改变了看法。”

卡塞米罗也承认，很多球员在这种情况下都会精神错乱。

“谦虚地说，最简单的事情就是说：‘主教练不想要我了？好吧。我已经赢得了一切，我已经取得了足够的成就，放手吧。’但没有。我继续工作。我一直试图向主帅表明他对我的看法是错误的。”

这种坚持最终得到了回报。

“我设法改变了他的看法。我最终再次参加比赛，并为这个赛季画上了圆满的句号。”

迈克尔·卡里克的大力支持

卡塞米罗还利用这次采访强烈支持卡里克在曼联的工作。

巴西人多次赞扬了临时主帅，并明确表示他相信卡里克应该长期留任。

“他作为临时主教练上任，但他处理困难的比赛很好，” 卡塞米罗解释道。 “他了解俱乐部，他了解曼联是什么。他很有水准。他有曼联人的姿态。”

“对我来说，这个人必须在俱乐部呆更多年，因为他应得的。他非常应得。”

卡塞米罗甚至暗示卡里克的个性在幕后很突出。

“当你每天和他一起工作时，你看着他就会想：‘这个人应得的。’”

卡塞米罗已经 确认他将离开曼联 在赛季结束时。然而就在离开之前，他成功地讲述了一个最后的复出故事，让一些批评者闭嘴，并在这样做的同时对利物浦进行了猛烈抨击。

While things could certainly change, the Arizona Cardinals are set to enter training camp with low expectations. No one would have predicted they would reach the playoffs in a crowded NFC West divisional field in Mike LaFleur’s first season as head coach.

It also doesn’t help that the Cardinals don’t have a clear starting quarterback on the roster. For now, the expectation is that veteran journeyman Jacoby Brissett will take over the starting duties. But his relationship with the Cardinals has soured after leaving minicamp in search of a pay raise.

Behind Brissett, the Cardinals have free agent signee Gardner Minshew and third-round rookie Carson Beck. Still, recent rumors have linked the Cardinals to another free agent quarterback, albeit one that is much more accomplished. However, Cardinals fans shouldn’t get their hopes too high.

There is no truth, “at all,” to rumors of Aaron Rodgers eyeing a contract to play in Arizona, according to ESPN Cardinals insider Josh Weinfuss.

Thus, the Cardinals appear prepared with their QB room. Meanwhile, for Rodgers, the options appear to be either playing one more season with the Pittsburgh Steelers or enjoying retirement. Even though he is taking his sweet time, everyone expects him to play another season, but it won’t be with the Cardinals.

tottenham’s It appears that Guglielmo Vicario is nearing the end of his journey at the club. Inter Milan are now trying hard to sign him in the summer.

sports witness The newly-crowned Italian champions’ interest in the goalkeeper is regularly covered.

Personal terms have been agreed between him and Vicario, with the player keen to return to Italy. There have been suggestions that he is frustrated with Spurs, who have been embroiled in much drama this season.

Inter also attempted to sign the stopper during his time at Empoli. He was passed over by Tottenham at the time but Inter are now desperate to sign him.

There are indications that both clubs are facing difficulties in agreeing a transfer fee.

exploring alternatives

interlive Report that the 29-year-old is indeed Inter’s favorite for the goalkeeping spot. They confirm that personal terms apply, with Guglielmo Vicario described as an ‘old favourite’ of sporting director Piero Ausilio.

The problems are compounded by Tottenham’s €25m valuation. Inter are unwilling to go beyond €15m just yet and feel Spurs’ asking price is ‘too high’.

Due to this the London club has postponed discussions until the end of the season. Inter are lying in wait, hoping a potential demotion will lower the keeper’s valuation.

Additionally, the Nerazzurri are also looking for alternatives in the market.

Initial contact has been made for Lazio’s Ivan Provedale, who is behind Edoardo Motta in the pecking order. There is also interest in Lecce’s Vladimir Falcon, who has established himself as a proven Serie A goalkeeper.

We believe: Tottenham’s approach is justified

Guglielmo Vicario’s current deal at Spurs expires in 2028. Selling him in 2027 would give the club enough profit to realize capital gains.

That’s why Tottenham should be in no rush to sell Vicario this summer. If Inter cannot afford him, he has done enough to attract more clubs.

Italian teams like Juventus and Fiorentina may also be in need of goalkeepers in the summer. They could call upon Vicario because of the way the 29-year-old performed in his first two seasons at Empoli and at Spurs.

In the end, it may all come down to the player and whether or not he feels pressured to move to a specific club.

托特纳姆热刺队 古列尔莫·维卡里奥（Guglielmo Vicario）似乎已经接近俱乐部的尽头。国际米兰现在在夏天签下他的问题上态度强硬。

体育见证人 经常报道意大利新科冠军球队对这位门将的兴趣。

他们和维卡里奥之间的个人条款已经达成一致，这名球员渴望回到意大利。有人认为他对热刺感到非常沮丧，因为热刺本赛季已经卷入了太多的戏剧性事件。

国际米兰在恩波利效力期间也曾试图签下这名门将。托特纳姆热刺当时在追逐中击败了他们，但国际米兰现在迫切希望签下他。

有迹象表明，两家具乐部在转会费方面面临困难。

内部探索替代方案

互动直播 报道称，这位29岁的球员确实是国米门将位置上的热门人选。他们确认个人条款已经到位，古列尔莫·维卡里奥被描述为体育总监皮耶罗·奥西利奥的“老宠儿”。

由于托特纳姆热刺队的估值高达 2500 万欧元，问题日益严重。国际米兰目前不愿意超过 1500 万欧元，并认为热刺的要价“过高”。

这导致伦敦俱乐部将讨论推迟到赛季结束。国际米兰正在等待，希望潜在的降级会导致门将的估值降低。

与此同时，蓝黑军团也在市场上探索替代方案。

我们已经初步联系了拉齐奥队的伊万·普罗韦德尔，他的出场顺次仅次于爱德华多·莫塔。人们还对莱切的弗拉基米罗·法尔科内感兴趣，他已经成为一名经过验证的意甲门将。

我们的看法：托特纳姆热刺的立场是合理的

古列尔莫·维卡里奥目前在热刺的合同将于 2028 年到期。在 2027 年出售他将为俱乐部提供足够的杠杆来寻求资本收益。

这就是为什么托特纳姆热刺应该不急于在今年夏天出售维卡里奥。如果国米买不起他，他已经做了足够的事情来吸引更多的俱乐部。

尤文图斯和佛罗伦萨等意大利球队今年夏天可能也需要门将。由于这位 29 岁的球员在恩波利以及他在热刺的前两个赛季的表现，他们可能会召唤维卡里奥。

最终，这一切都可能取决于球员以及他是否愿意去某个特定的俱乐部。

切爾西之前對菲利佩·路易斯的興趣可能比最初理解的更進一步，許可問題成為幕後的主要障礙。

這位巴西教練在今年早些時候離開弗拉門戈後仍然沒有離開任何俱樂部，但他的注意力仍然堅定地放在歐洲。

體育見證人已透露 英冠俱樂部 QPR、米德爾斯堡和沃特福德與他的陣營取得了聯繫，同時 切爾西也重新審視了他的名字 利亞姆·羅尼奧爾 (Liam Rosenior) 被解僱後。

現在，新的報導來自 批評 為這種情況增添了另一個重要的層面。

根據巴西媒體報道，菲利佩路易斯正在加緊努力，盡快獲得歐足總職業執照，以便在英格蘭和歐洲其他地方執教。由於缺乏這一資格，目前無法立即任命為主教練。

牌照問題成為焦點

報導解釋說，菲利佩·路易斯和他的工作人員正試圖透過法律和行政管道加快這一進程。

據報道，已經與巴西足協進行了聯繫，試圖驗證他之前的執教經驗並加快批准速度。

如果沒有歐足總職業執照，菲利佩路易斯仍然可以作為教練團的一員在歐洲工作。然而，他無法正式擔任大多數大聯盟的一線隊總教練。

這個細節與切爾西的案例尤其相關。

據 A Critica 報道，倫敦俱樂部密切關注他在弗拉門戈的工作，並認真考慮任命他。然而，與他的教練執照相關的法律和監管問題阻止了這一舉動的進一步進展。

英格蘭仍然是一個現實的目的地

菲利佩路易斯在弗拉門戈的短暫執教期間創造了南美足球史上最強的執教記錄之一。

在101場比賽中，他的勝率維持在接近70%。他的球隊在那場比賽中打進了 180 多個進球，場均進球超過 1.8 個。他還連續贏得了五個主要獎杯。

現在，儘管許可問題變得複雜，但英格蘭看起來仍然是一個現實的下一個目的地。

儘管米德爾斯堡、沃特福德和女王公園巡遊者仍然關注著局勢，但切爾西的欽佩之情也沒有消失。

不過，就目前而言，菲利佩路易斯的下一步行動可能更少取決於興趣，而更多取決於文書工作。

The Philadelphia 76ers have already square off against the New York Knicks in the second round of the NBA playoffs. Now we’ve learned they’ll be without Joel Embiid for Game 2 on Wednesday night.

The big man will be out of tonight’s game due to soreness in his ankle and hip. He was unable to participate in the team’s morning shootaround. As Shams Charania said, Embiid was “getting treatment around the clock for his efforts to play.”

The Knicks beat Philly 137-98 in Game 1, even with Embiid in the lineup. New York limited the former league MVP to 3-of-11 shooting for 14 points and just four rebounds. He averaged 28.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists in four games against the Boston Celtics in the first round, helping the Sixers win the series in seven games.

Embiid was still recovering from an emergency appendectomy near the end of the regular season, which caused him to miss the first three games of the Boston series.

Sixers coach Nick Nurse expected to return for Game 2

Meanwhile, head coach Nick Nurse is expected to sit out Game 2 after leaving the team under tragic circumstances after Game 1. He attended the funeral of his brother Steve, who was 62. His death was unexpected.

While Birmingham City fans may be excited by the prospect of a pre-season friendly match against Barcelona this year, they should temper it with an unwanted dose of reality.

Why? With the World Cup also taking place this summer, Barcelona could have a small squad heading to England in July.

A report in Spain today revealed that Barcelona are planning a two-week trip to England This summer, they will spend time at St. George’s Park in England. Before this there will be a friendly match in Nairobi and then another match in Morocco.

Plan to spend time in St. George from July 27th^th till 8th August^th. And this will include a pre-season friendly against Birmingham City during the first few days of the training camp.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Blues were chosen due to their proximity to St. George’s Park.

birmingham city spirit

Naturally, this news has caused quite a bit of excitement in the city of Birmingham. Their fans are waiting for the arrival of the Catalan giants. But sadly, due to the World Cup, only a limited team of Barcelona can make this journey.

For example, Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Pau Quibarsi, Fermín López, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres are likely to be in the Spain squad.

Joan Garcia could also be one of the goalkeeping options while Alejandro Balde, Eric Garcia, Mark Casado and Gavi could also get the nod.

Frenkie de Jong will also be in the Netherlands squad, while Jules Kounde should also be in the French squad. Joao Cancelo is also a regular for Portugal and Marcus Rashford is likely to be in the England squad. Raphinha will also be in the Brazilian team.

Who will be in the team?

So, that would leave Wojciech Szczesny and Diego Cochen in goal, with Andreas Christensen and Gerard Martin in defence.

Marc Bernal should be available, and Robert Lewandowski should be up front. But the latter’s contract expires this summer, and the 37-year-old has been heavily linked with a departure.

In fact, his agent is meeting Barcelona for talks this week. In recent times the Catalan media have been more inclined towards Lewandowski’s stay than before. There’s every possibility that he’s going to be the biggest star of the show.

Various players could also return from loan deals, such as Hector Forte, Iñaki Pena and Ansu Fati. But this remains to be seen.

Now apparently the World Cup is ending on 19th July^thTherefore the above absent players will not be in the tournament at that time. But the trip to England is only eight days after the final. Therefore, if Spain, one of the favourites, gets that far, a big contingent will be missing.

Of course, this is just speculation at this point. But Birmingham City fans may want to curb any hopes of seeing Barcelona’s full, current squad at St Andrews.

We have bad news for Los Angeles Lakers fans who are hoping that Luka Doncic can return for their semifinal series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Lakers surprised many in the NBA when they were able to overcome injuries to Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves and defeat the Houston Rockets in the quarterfinals of the playoffs. However, they have an even bigger challenge ahead as they climb into the semi-finals against defending champions Thunder.

Unlike previous rounds, the Lakers will have Reaves available from the start. This is a huge boost for a team that could use all the help they can get against a team they went 0-5 against and lost by an average of 29 points this season. If they have any chance of pulling off another major upset, they need to get their MVP candidate Doncic back on the court.

However, it looks like that is not happening in this series. During a media discussion on Wednesday, the six-time All-Star revealed that when he was originally diagnosed with his Grade 2 hamstring injury, doctors told him it would take eight weeks to recover. This would mean no return during the Western Conference Finals.

The five-time All-NBA player recently talked about receiving platelet-rich plasma treatment in Spain and how he hopes the procedure can speed up his recovery. He has also started running. However, no contact work has been done with them yet.

Oklahoma City’s dominance over the Lakers continued on Tuesday as they won 108-90 in Game 1 of their series.

News broke Wednesday morning that Carlos Correa suffered a serious ankle injury that will require surgery. The surgery will rule out the Houston Astros’ starting shortstop’s 2026 season.

It was an apparent end to the season for Correa, who was injured during batting practice before Tuesday night’s win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. He went 0 for 4, but is off to a solid start this season, hitting .279 with 16 RBI. Along with young slugger Yordan Alvarez, he was a big part of why Houston was still excited for the upcoming season despite a slow start to the year.

Korea was a surprise trade at last year’s deadline. The veteran player was traded to the Minnesota Twins to strengthen Houston for a playoff race, which did not succeed. This marked the return of the veteran player who was drafted by the Astros with the first pick in the 2012 draft. But Correa wasn’t just a good hitter, he was an essential leader in the clubhouse, and his presence will be greatly missed.

Myriad injuries destroy Astros’ 2026

It felt like Houston’s season was over before it even started. 14 players of the club are on the injured list. That group is made up of Ronel Blanco, Hunter Brown, Corea, Yener Diaz, Josh Hader, Tatsuya Imai, Cristian Javier, Joey Loperfido, Jake Meyers, Nate Pearson, Jeremy Pena, Taylor Trammell, Brandon Walter, and Hayden Wesneski.

Those injuries destroyed the clubhouse, forcing the Astros into fourth place in the American League West. The only club they are currently ahead of is the Los Angeles Angels. Houston can certainly bounce back later in the season once those starters return, but until then they need to be cautious and the news from Correa won’t help matters.

The Astros’ roster is primarily made up of young guys who probably should have spent more time in Triple-A. The problem is that Houston no longer has that luxury due to bad luck with injuries. Because of this, those young players are being trusted more than necessary.

That being said, if the Astros want to reverse their 15-22 record, they will need that group of players. Not a ton, but enough to reach a .500 record. This could be enough for Houston to save this season as they await the return of several of their injured players.

谢菲尔德星期三的卡洛斯·卡瓦哈尔时代再次被人们铭记，这一次是通过巴里·班南对这段在希尔斯伯勒仍然具有巨大情感分量的时期的热爱。

游戏 重新审视了这位葡萄牙主教练在猫头鹰队的时光，班南的反思描绘了一位在许多周三的支持者中仍然拥有近乎神话般地位的教练的形象。

班南在谢周三效力了十多年，在为俱乐部出场 477 次后于今年早些时候离开。他一月份转会米尔沃尔时正值周三的财务状况不佳，最终以降级到甲级联赛而告终。

对于许多支持者来说，这次崩溃只会加剧人们对卡瓦哈尔时代的怀旧之情。

班南记得卡瓦哈尔的影响

卡洛斯·卡瓦哈尔 (Carlos Carvalhal) 于 2015 年抵达谢周三，立即改变了俱乐部的气氛。猫头鹰队在他的第一个赛季就进入了冠军附加赛决赛，并在一年后再次进入前六名。

那段时间仍然是现代以来周三与英超联赛最接近的时期之一。班南表示，影响是立竿见影的。

“卡洛斯在谢周三的表现立即产生了影响。球迷们喜欢他，因为他的足球风格令人兴奋且雄心勃勃，这正是他们想要看到的。” 他告诉游戏。

“他带来了几位看台上认可的球员。他让每个人都相信他的热情，无论是场内还是场外。他激励我们为他付出一切。” 他说。

“此外，他很擅长让每个人都感到自己是球队的一部分，他的管理也令人难以置信。他让球迷不仅相信他的足球，还相信我们所取得的成绩。”

谢菲尔德星期三队以其强度、情感和与支持者的联系而闻名。 Fernando Forestieri、Barry Bannan、Kieran Lee 等人在那个时期成为了崇拜人物。

卡瓦哈尔本人也与希尔斯伯勒的人群建立了特殊的关系。即使在他退出多年后的现在，支持者仍然热情地谈论他。

两国关系超越了足球范畴

巴里·班南现在效力于米尔沃尔，但他与谢周三的联系仍然显而易见。这位苏格兰国脚明确表示，卡瓦哈尔在这座城市的地位从未减弱。

“他受到爱戴和崇拜。他将永远受到欢迎。”

班南随后反思了周三在这位葡萄牙教练的带领下如何接近实现更大的目标。

“如果他带领我们晋级，他就会载入史册。如果他带领球队进入英超，我相信我们的关系会繁荣好几年，在球场上充满乐趣。”

这位中场球员还分享了展现卡瓦哈尔管理层个人一面的故事。

“这太棒了，我们建立了很好的关系，我觉得他总是很照顾我。他过去常常给我们放几天假，但他知道他可以期待我的一切”，他说。

“有一次我在迪拜，应该第二天就回来。我问他是否可以晚一天到达，他立即回答：‘如果你一个人，可以，但你只有一半的时间和你在一起，所以你必须明天就回来。’”

班南回忆起这段对话，笑了，但显然另一段记忆对他来说意义更大。

谢周三在2016年英冠附加赛决赛中输给赫尔城后，更衣室一片狼藉。卡瓦哈尔随后的讲话一直萦绕在他的脑海中。

“在我们输掉附加赛决赛后，整个小组都情绪低落、沮丧，他的演讲令人难以置信。他谈到了下个赛季要走得更远。我意识到他是一个胜利者，也是一个伟大的教练。”

为什么这在谢菲尔德星期三仍然很重要

巴里·班南的言论今天有了不同的看法，因为谢菲尔德星期三自那时以来所遭受的一切。

俱乐部最近的金融危机、降级到甲级联赛以及几名长期效力球员的痛苦结局，只会增加球迷对卡瓦哈尔时代的情感依恋。

对于许多粉丝来说，这是周三最后一次真正感受到活力和向上的动力。班南的话表明卡瓦哈尔和俱乐部之间的联系也从未消失。

“他很强大，但他也表现出了自己是一个不可思议的人。我们今天仍在交谈，他总是询问谢菲尔德星期三的情况。他满怀感情地关注着俱乐部。”

对于班南来说，主教练、球迷和城市之间的情感契合让这段时光如此令人难忘。

“这是一个完美的组合，因为球迷非常热情，他喜欢这种感觉。”

最后，他解释了希尔斯伯勒周围人们如何看待卡瓦哈尔的一切。

“他是永远的朋友。”

Trade rumors are like sunshine around this time of year; The further you go into the summer, the more there is.

The Edmonton Oilers already have a lot of decisions to make this summer. While some believe they need to find a way to send out defender Darnell Nurse, there are bigger problems that must be addressed.

One of those problems was solved by an Oilers Now radio host (employed by the team, mind you). Bob Stauffer appeared on the 100% Hockey Podcast and talked to the hosts about some of the issues burdening the team.

Bookmark the Edmonton Oilers on SportsNut so you don’t miss the latest news, rumors, opinions and more.

Oilers insider addresses the Jerry-Ingram tandem

One topic of discussion was the combination of Tristan Jarry and Connor Ingram. Jarry is under contract for a few more years, while Ingram is a free agent.

“They’ve got to find a way to move forward here with Tristan Jarry,” Stouffer told hosts Darren Millard and John Shannon. “Under the assumption that he’s in Edmonton next year, he’s got to work with them, just like he had to work with (forward Trent) Fredericks, right? Like he’s got to work with those guys and get it out of them.”

“I think Jerry’s a better puck handler. He’s got a great glove hand.”

Additionally, Stauffer is unsure whether the Oilers are interested in bringing Ingram back.

Stauffer argued, “I think they have to figure that kind of thing out.” “I think Ingram gave them as much as he could, but he didn’t steal any games in the playoffs. We’ll have to see what happens with Ingram. But I think he might have to consider a move out of the organization if this trend continues.”

What do the Oilers need from an Eastern Conference team?

Stauffer suggests a trade for a goaltender prospect. That is, one who is closer to NHL-ready than the current crop of hopefuls.

Stauffer urges, “Maybe they need to target a young goaltender in an organization that has deep goaltending potential.” “They’ve got a lot of goalscoring potential themselves. But they’re years away, you know, three to four years away. There’s a club in the East that has four very good goalscorers in their system right now. So we’ll see what happens here moving forward.”

“I’m not saying anything about the team. I respect that organization for having a goaltender.”

My thoughts on goalie prospect trading

• The Detroit Red Wings are likely the team Stauffer is referring to.
• On Puckpedia, Detroit’s potential goaltenders to sign are Michal Postava, Trey Augustin, Carter Zyllander and Sebastian Cossa.
• The Red Wings have $32,791,667 in salary cap space before addressing their free agent situation.
• Postava and Augustin are contracted for at least one more season. Cossa and Zylander will become restricted free agents on July 1, 2026.
• Cossa, 23, has big size, but has fallen out of favor with the Red Wings organization. Given that his contract is expiring, Detroit may be tempted to trade him before July 1.
• Unfortunately for the Oilers, they will have to address their goaltending from multiple angles.
• If they play better defense, it will make things a lot easier on their netminders.
• The Oilers goaltenders need to improve the weaknesses in their game over the summer to become better overall players.
• If the organization trusts Jerry’s limits, they probably won’t betray him.

One way or another, it’s going to be an interesting offseason for the Oilers. Addressing their goal-related issues should be a top priority.

We’re waiting to see if they really feel the same way.

唐耶尔·马伦 (Donyell Malen) 是 2026 年欧洲最好的前锋之一，他现在吸引了来自 纽卡斯尔联 和 曼联。

一月份，阿斯顿维拉将马伦租借给罗马，罗马将永久签下他。

这已被涵盖 体育见证人即使罗马无缘欧冠资格，这笔交易也要完成。

马伦在意甲联赛中打进了 11 个进球，这也帮助罗马队继续保持在意甲联赛的领先地位。这位荷兰国脚还在欧罗巴联赛中打进四球，这表明他在阿斯顿维拉的表现并不能最好地体现他的能力。

现在，罗马面临着纽卡斯尔联队和曼联的威胁，他们可以在夏天签下他。

马伦的数字引起关注

《罗马体育报》 明确表示这位27岁的球员已经“接管”了罗马。这家意大利俱乐部的弗里德金老板已决定永久签下他，2500万欧元很快就会进入阿斯顿维拉的金库。

主教练吉安·皮耶罗·加斯佩里尼将马伦视为该项目的中心，并将他视为球队中不可出售的实体。

即使罗马也认为马伦已退出市场，但他的数据对欧洲多家具乐部具有吸引力也就不足为奇了。特别是曼联和纽卡斯尔联队，已经对这位多才多艺的攻击手“打开了雷达”。

就目前情况而言，罗马对此并不十分担心。但他们对 Malen 的估值预计将超过 5000 万欧元，这样的钱对他们来说很有吸引力。任何低于这一点都是不够的，罗马的每个人都对他感到满意。

我们的看法：罗马可能会被说服出售

最近几周，由于与FFP会面的问题，一些罗马球员受到了质疑。他们迫切需要在六月底之前获得资本收益，否则可能会遭到欧足联的罚款。

这就是为什么马伦的情况值得关注。他不会是离开的主要候选人，但这对许多俱乐部来说可能是一个机会。

这笔交易并不便宜，但荷兰人每次上场都充满信心。

曼联可能会在夏天失去约书亚·齐尔克泽，并且还需要边路的选择。马伦可以解决这些问题，他也能保证进球。

纽卡斯尔联队的进攻引援也没有奏效。这位罗马球星拥有英超联赛经验，他可以为球队做出很多贡献。

更快的揮桿

作為前首輪新秀和頭號新秀，史密斯的快速擊球速度在去年三月開始的大聯盟比賽中得到了體現。他以 74.5 英里/小時的平均球速結束了新秀賽季，足以排在聯盟第 84% 的位置。今年，情況有所不同。

到 2026 年，史密斯的平均球棒速度將達到 77.5 英里/小時。這比去年增加了 3 個刻度，是所有擊球手中跳躍最快的。截至 4 月底，史密斯記錄了 55 次至少 80 英里/小時的揮桿動作。這幾乎超過了他上賽季全年的 60 分。現在，其揮桿速度在比賽中排名第六，一些基本數據表明更快的揮桿速度正在獲得回報。

史密斯的桶裝利率較去年上漲 8.2%，或 6.9% 至 15.1%。對於所有擊球手來說，這是第五好的成長。儘管如此，結果還沒到來。這是因為史密斯很難將球傳到拉球側。

史密斯的桶子中只有 15.4% 被拉出。在 74 名至少 10 桶擊球手中，這一比率並列第二低。這意味著許多警告性的飛球不會離開場地。即使在投擲時，被拉出的飛球比直接擊出或打到對面場地的飛球產生本壘打的可能性要高出 30%。

一旦史密斯開始更多地拉球，數字就會到來。到那時，蝙蝠速度的上升將帶來突破的希望。

退一步

史密斯在 2025 年最後 59 場比賽中取得了 0.153 AVG 和 0.479 OPS 的成績，結束了 2025 賽季。在成為聯盟最差的擊球手之一三個月後，需要做出改變。於是史密斯退了一步。字面上地。

整個 2026 年，史密斯在擊球手區的位置比去年多了 7 英寸。他在禁區內的身高從去年的 25.4 英寸增加到今年的 32.1 英寸。這樣做可以讓他有更多的時間看到球並在球前出球。與去年相比，他的平均接觸點後移了四英寸，這是這一變化的預期結果。

站在禁區更後方的位置也改變了史密斯的平均攻擊角度，從8°° 去年到11°。這意味著史密斯的球棒在接觸時會更深入地穿過該區域，從而實現更多的飛球。

crystal Palace Goalkeeper Walter Benítez has spent much of the last year surrounded by transfer uncertainty. Argentina’s latest comments suggest another potential move is already on the horizon.

Despite eventually moving to the Premier League with Palace, his condition never fully recovered due to limited continuity in England.

Now, back home, Boca Juniors are openly discussing the possibility of targeting him in the next market.

Not first choice in Argentina

These comments came from the journalist marcelo gonzalez During an appearance on the Argentinian program Directo al Hueso.

According to Gonzalez, Boca is still waiting to see how young player Leandro Brey develops between now and the middle of the year. However, the club is already planning the possibility of entering the market for a senior goalkeeper.

“Boca is still waiting for Bray and how he performs between now and the middle of the year. That has not changed. But Boca will definitely be looking for a goalkeeper in the next transfer window.” He said.

“They probably won’t look for a backup goalkeeper – they’ll aim as high as possible.”

Geronimo Rulli of Olympique Marseille was initially discussed internally. However, Gonzalez explained that Boca quickly realized that the operation would be extremely difficult financially.

“The first name that came up was Ruli. When I asked about him specifically, they told me: ‘Ruli costs a lot of money, we don’t think it’s possible’,” He said.

“Now they have to look to the Premier League, where Walter Benitez is playing.”

Brief description of Benitez

Gonzalez and the programme’s panel then spent time discussing the Palace goalkeeper’s path through European football, including his years at PSV and earlier stint with OGC Nice.

The journalist also acknowledged that Benítez has not fully established himself since arriving at Palace in the middle of last season.

“He arrived at Crystal Palace in the middle of last season and today he doesn’t have much consistency. Although he has played a few matches, it’s not like he has never played.”

Interestingly, Gonzalez himself gave a very balanced assessment of the goalkeeper.

“His performances may not have been huge, but obviously if he has had such consistency for so long in European football, there is a reason for that.”

Of course, Walter Benitez’s name has come up repeatedly in transfer discussions over the past year. During his last months in the Netherlands, Several clubs inquired about his situation As uncertainty about his future increased.

The move to the Premier League eventually came, yet his medium-term role still seems a little unclear due to a lack of regular minutes. This naturally creates space for domestic clubs to start paying attention. In fact, river bank Kept him on my radar last year.

But at 33, he fits Boca Juniors’ preference for proven personalities in key positions.

what happens next

There is no indication yet that Crystal Palace are actively attempting to move Benitez this summer. However, if the goalkeeper continues to struggle for regular consistency in the Premier League, Boca’s interest could be worth watching.

For now, this looks like the early stages of internal discussions in Argentina rather than advanced talks.

Still, Benitez’s future has felt uncertain for quite some time – and Boca are now openly looking in his direction.

水晶宫 门将沃尔特·贝尼特斯过去一年的大部分时间都被转会的不确定性所包围。阿根廷的最新评论表明，另一项潜在举措已经开始出现。

即使最终在水晶宫获得了英超联赛的转会权，由于在英格兰的连续性有限，他的处境也从未完全稳定。

现在，回到家乡，博卡青年队正在公开讨论在下一个市场上瞄准他的可能性。

不是阿根廷的首选

该评论来自记者 马塞洛·冈萨雷斯 在阿根廷节目 Directo al Hueso 中露面。

据冈萨雷斯透露，博卡仍在观望年轻球员莱安德罗·布雷从现在到年中的发展情况。然而，俱乐部已经在计划进入高级门将市场的可能性。

“博卡仍在等待布雷，以及他从现在到年中的表现。这一点没有改变。但博卡肯定会在下一个转会窗口寻找门将。” 他说。

“他们可能不会寻找替补门将——他们的目标会尽可能高。”

马赛队的赫罗尼莫·鲁利最初是在内部讨论的。然而，冈萨雷斯解释说，博卡很快意识到该行动在财务上将极其困难。

“第一个出现的名字是鲁利。当我具体询问他时，他们告诉我：‘鲁利要花很多钱，我们认为这是不可能的’，” 他说。

“现在他们必须把目光投向沃尔特·贝尼特斯所在的英超联赛。”

贝尼特斯的汇报

冈萨雷斯和节目小组随后花时间讨论了这位水晶宫门将的欧洲足球之路，包括他在埃因霍温的岁月以及早些时候在 OGC Nice 的经历。

这位记者还承认，自从上赛季中期抵达水晶宫以来，贝尼特斯还没有完全确立自己的地位。

“他上赛季中期来到水晶宫，现在他没有太多的连续性。虽然他已经踢了几场比赛，但并不是说他从未踢过比赛。”

有趣的是，冈萨雷斯对门将本人也给出了相当平衡的评价。

“也许他没有出色的表现，但显然，如果他在欧洲足坛保持了这么长时间的连续性，那是有原因的。”

当然，沃尔特·贝尼特斯的名字在过去一年的转会讨论中多次出现。在他在荷兰的最后几个月里， 几家具乐部探讨了他的情况 随着他的未来越来越不确定。

最终转会到了英超，但由于缺乏常规上场时间，他在中期的角色仍然感觉有些模糊。这自然为家乡的俱乐部开始关注创造了空间。实际上， 河床 去年他就引起了他们的关注。

但 33 岁的他符合博卡青年队对关键位置上经过验证的个性的偏好。

接下来会发生什么

目前还没有迹象表明水晶宫正在积极尝试在今年夏天引进贝尼特斯。然而，如果门将继续在英超联赛中争取稳定的连续性，博卡的兴趣可能会成为值得关注的问题。

目前，这感觉更像是阿根廷内部讨论的早期阶段，而不是高级谈判。

尽管如此，贝尼特斯的未来在相当长的一段时间内仍然不稳定——而博卡现在公开地关注着他的方向。

armory Atletico de Madrid manager Diego Simeone has stepped in to defend Andrea Berta after a clash with Diego Simeone in Tuesday’s 1-0 win.

Mundo Deportivo report that Arsenal sources are determined to defend their football director after a clash on the sidelines at the end of the game.

Arsenal defends Andrea Burta

Andrea Berta had a heated altercation with Simeone on the touchline in the final minutes of Arsenal’s 1-0 win at the Emirates.

Berta previously worked at Atletico. But he has been in charge of Arsenal’s sporting operations since last year. And it seems his newfound loyalty has caused problems with Simeon. As Arsenal booked their place in the Champions League final, the Argentine coach punched the director in the chest.

The Arsenal chief has since come under criticism, but Arsenal sources have indicated to Mundo Deportivo that Berta was not at fault.

They emphasize that Berta was not celebrating his team’s qualification for the final in Budapest, that he was not on the field and that his gestures of raising his hand and pointing to the clock were directed towards the referee. The reason for the latter was that five minutes of extra time had already passed.

At the time of the incident, Berta was between two technical areas and away from the pitch. Simeon, seeing him, came up to him and gave him a light push. This led to a minor clash.

arsenal defensive

But Arsenal insist there is no problem between the two men. They are adamant that Berta had no ill intentions. It seems that Gunner wants to let everyone know that Berta is not to blame for this incident.

It remains to be seen whether both men are punished by UEFA. The fact that the fourth official and others were forced to intervene would certainly mean that a review is on the way.

Perhaps that’s why Arsenal are putting forward their stance in Spain, where Berta is potentially being blamed for a completely unnecessary matter.

兵工厂 在周二 1-0 战胜安德烈亚·贝尔塔 (Andrea Berta) 与马德里竞技队主教练迭戈·西蒙尼 (Diego Simeone) 发生冲突后，安德里亚·贝尔塔 (Andrea Berta) 开始为他辩护。

《世界体育报》报道称，阿森纳的消息来源 在比赛结束时在场边发生冲突后，他们决心捍卫他们的足球总监。

阿森纳后卫安德里亚·贝尔塔

在阿森纳1-0战胜酋长球场的比赛的最后几分钟，安德里亚·贝尔塔在边线与西蒙尼发生了激烈的争执。

贝尔塔此前曾在马​​竞效力。但他自去年以来一直负责阿森纳的体育运营。他的新忠诚似乎导致了与西蒙尼的问题。当阿森纳锁定欧冠决赛席位时，阿根廷教练推了导演的胸部。

此后，这位阿森纳队长受到了批评，但阿森纳消息人士向《世界体育报》表示，贝尔塔并没有过错。

他们坚称贝尔塔并不是在庆祝他的球队获得布达佩斯决赛的资格，他并不在球场上，而且他举起手臂并指着手表的手势是针对裁判的。后者是因为补时已经过去了五分钟。

事发时，贝尔塔位于两个技术区域之间，且远离球场。西蒙尼看到他，走上前轻轻推了他一下。这引发了一场小规模的混战。

阿森纳防守

但阿森纳坚称两人之间没有问题。他们坚称贝尔塔没有任何恶意。枪手似乎有意让每个人都知道贝尔塔并不是这起事件的罪魁祸首。

两人是否受到欧足联的处罚还有待观察。第四官员和其他人被迫介入这一事实肯定意味着审查正在进行中。

也许这就是阿森纳在西班牙表明立场的原因，贝尔塔可能因一件完全不必要的事件而受到指责。

謝菲爾德星期三的卡洛斯·卡瓦哈爾時代再次被人們銘記，這一次是透過巴里·班南對這段在希爾斯伯勒仍然具有巨大情感分量的時期的熱愛。

奧喬戈 重新審視了這位葡萄牙主教練在貓頭鷹隊的時光，班南的反思描繪了一位在許多周三的支持者中仍然擁有近乎神話般地位的教練的形象。

班南在謝週三效力了十多年，在為俱樂部出場 477 次後於今年早些時候離開。他一月份轉會米爾沃爾時正值週三的財務狀況不佳，最終以降級到甲級聯賽而告終。

對許多支持者來說，這次崩潰只會加劇人們對卡瓦哈爾時代的懷舊之情。

班南記得卡瓦哈爾的影響

卡洛斯·卡瓦哈爾 (Carlos Carvalhal) 於 2015 年抵達謝週三，立即改變了俱樂部的氣氛。貓頭鷹隊在他的第一個賽季就進入了冠軍附加賽決賽，並在一年後再次進入前六名。

那段時間仍然是現代以來週三與英超聯賽最接近的時期之一。班南表示，影響是立竿見影的。

“卡洛斯在謝週三的表現立即產生了影響。球迷們喜歡他，因為他的足球風格令人興奮且雄心勃勃，這正是他們想要看到的。” 他告訴奧喬戈。

“他帶來了幾位看台上認可的球員。他讓每個人都相信他的熱情，無論是場內還是場外。他激勵我們為他付出一切。” 他說。

“此外，他很擅長讓每個人都感到自己是球隊的一部分，他的管理也令人難以置信。他讓球迷不僅相信他的足球，還相信我們所取得的成績。”

謝菲爾德星期三隊以其強度、情感和與支持者的聯繫而聞名。 Fernando Forestieri、Barry Bannan、Kieran Lee 等人在那個時期成為了崇拜人物。

卡瓦哈爾本人也與希爾斯伯勒的人群建立了特殊的關係。即使在他退出多年後的現在，支持者仍然熱情地談論他。

兩國關係超越了足球範疇

巴里班南現在效力於米爾沃爾，但他與謝週三的聯繫仍然顯而易見。這位蘇格蘭國腳明確表示，卡瓦哈爾在這座城市的地位從未減弱。

“他受到愛戴和崇拜。他將永遠受到歡迎。”

班南隨後反思了周三在這位葡萄牙教練的帶領下如何接近實現更大的目標。

“如果他帶領我們晉級，他就會載入史冊。如果他帶領球隊進入英超，我相信我們的關係會繁榮好幾年，在球場上充滿樂趣。”

這位中場球員也分享了展現卡瓦哈爾管理層個人一面的故事。

“這太棒了，我們建立了很好的關係，我覺得他總是很照顧我。他過去常常給我們放幾天假，但他知道他可以期待我的一切”，他說。

「有一次我在杜拜，應該第二天就回來。我問他是否可以晚一天到達，他立即回答：『如果你一個人，可以，但你只有一半的時間和你在一起，所以你必須明天就回來。』”

班南迴憶起這段對話，笑了，但顯然另一段記憶對他來說意義更大。

謝週三在2016年英冠附加賽決賽輸給赫爾城後，更衣室一片狼藉。卡瓦哈爾隨後的演講一直縈繞在他的腦海中。

「在我們輸掉附加賽決賽後，整個小組都情緒低落、沮喪，他的演講令人難以置信。他談到了下個賽季要走得更遠。我意識到他是一個勝利者，也是一個偉大的教練。”

為什麼這在謝週三仍然很重要

巴里班南的言論今天有了不同的看法，因為謝菲爾德星期三自那時以來所遭受的一切。

俱樂部最近的金融危機、降級到甲級聯賽以及幾名長期效力球員的痛苦結局，只會增加球迷對卡瓦哈爾時代的情感依戀。

對於許多粉絲來說，這是周三最後一次真正感受到活力和向上的動力。班南的話表明卡瓦哈爾和俱樂部之間的聯繫也從未消失。

「他很強大，但他也表現出了自己是一個不可思議的人。我們今天仍在交談，他總是詢問謝菲爾德星期三的情況。他滿懷感情地關注著俱樂部。”

對班南來說，主帥、球迷和城市之間的情感契合讓這段時光如此令人難忘。

“這是一個完美的組合，因為球迷非常熱情，他喜歡這種感覺。”

最後，他解釋了希爾斯伯勒周圍人們如何看待卡瓦哈爾的一切。

“他是永遠的朋友。”

首先，弗羅布萊斯基本賽季尚未放棄一支全壘打。除此之外，他的方法使他能夠儘早攻擊擊球手，因為他目前擁有職業生涯最高的 65% 的一球命中率。

弗羅布萊斯基一直住在該區域，他這樣做基本上能夠避開該區域的中心。由於在邊緣投球並經常產生接觸，對方擊球手無法持續擊球，而是經常彈出或將球擊入地面。

這有助於解決圍繞弗羅布萊斯基發射角度的問號。就上下文而言，他 13.6 度的發射角度並不是擊球手打直線擊球的因素，而是他的飛球和滾地球率之間的中間地帶。

弗羅布萊斯基的成功會持續嗎？

一些回歸均值的現像是可以預料的。弗羅布萊斯基本賽季困住了 86.5% 的擊球手，並保持了 0.222 BABIP——隨著時間的推移，球迷們預計這兩個數字都會趨於穩定。然而，回歸卻是一條雙向路。

對於一個在 2025 年創下 10.26 K/9 的精英投手命中率的投手來說，下降到 3.75 K/9 的命中率也是前所未有的。對於弗羅布萊斯基的球員來說，這並沒有帶來相當大的品質變化（儘管他的速度有所下降——可能是從牛棚轉為全職首發輪換的一個因素）。

三振可能會隨著時間的推移而出現。這些沒有太多搖擺和失誤的高接觸性比賽更有可能是異常值，而不是對弗羅布萊斯基賽季剩餘時間的預測。 4 月 26 日對陣芝加哥小熊隊的比賽中，他在六局一分球的比賽中三振了六名擊球手。

最終，弗羅布萊斯基的方法暫時是有效的。經理戴夫羅伯茨在他最近的首發後也說了同樣的話：“他在一天結束時會得到 1.00（自責分率）嗎？可能不會，但我仍然認為他作為我們的先發投手做得很好。”

不過，道奇隊應該留意弗羅布爾斯基的預期指標。對方擊球手目前對他的打擊率只有區區 0.197，長打率只有區區 0.235。相反，他的 xBA 為 0.270，他的 xSLG 為 0.412。遲早，這些數字很可能會在中間的某個地方相遇。

托特纳姆热刺队拉杜·德拉古辛于 2024 年 1 月从热那亚加盟英超球队。

两年前，德拉古辛 经纪人弗洛林·马内亚证实 那不勒斯和拜仁慕尼黑都对他感兴趣。

然而，这位后卫决定转会到托特纳姆热刺，在那里他的影响力还没有在热那亚那样大。

尤文图斯于2018年首次将他带到意大利，并在2021/22赛季将他租借至桑普多利亚和萨勒尼塔纳。

这位罗马尼亚国脚于 2022 年 7 月通过租借协议转会至热那亚，并于一年后永久加盟热那亚。在效力意大利俱乐部期间，这位中后卫出场 62 场比赛。

根据 职业体育 在罗马尼亚，拉杜·德拉古辛（Radu Drăguşin）希望转会到海伦芬，而不是当时在乙级联赛的热那亚。

前罗马尼亚国脚拉兹万·拉什（Răzvan Raş）成功地改变了他的球员。

托特纳姆热刺球员收到转会建议

这位44岁的球员在职业生涯中曾效力于西汉姆联队，他说服他的同胞选择热那亚而不是荷甲球队。他是应后卫经纪人弗洛林·马内亚的要求打来电话的。

拉茨告诉后卫“你坐在替补席上会得痔疮的！”在海伦芬。

他说： “当时我在巴厘岛度假，接到了弗洛林·马内亚的电话。德拉古辛在萨勒尼塔纳的租借已经结束，尤文图斯想摆脱他。他不再是他们计划的一部分。

“马内亚告诉我：‘你也和德拉古辛谈过。他收到了海伦芬的邀请，他真的很想去那里。我和安德烈斯谈过。 [Blazquez]，来自热那亚。他们想要他，他们正在买他，但球员不想去意乙。你说服他不要去海伦芬。因为它更好。这是意乙联赛，有更好的知名度’。”

“与此同时，安德烈斯打电话给我：‘你不打算和球员谈谈，说服他来找我们吗？让我们告诉他，即使他犯了错误，我不知道是什么，我们也会关心，我们在他身上看到了一名优秀的球员’。”

“我拿了电话号码，给他打电话：‘嗨，我是拉兹万·拉茨！我想谈谈你的职业生涯’。我告诉他俱乐部想要什么，安德烈斯向我解释了什么。”

“我告诉他：‘这是意乙，但你仍然有可见度。在海伦芬，如果你去那里，你会犯两次严重错误，最终会坐在替补席上。如果我是你，我会选择这个’。这是我和他的讨论，我告诉他这是他的决定。我和他谈了大约30分钟。就这样。”

马刺后卫的下一步是什么

在拉兹万·拉茨、安德烈斯·布拉兹克斯和弗洛林·马内亚的努力下，拉杜·德拉古辛最终选择了热那亚。

这帮助他转会到英超球队，而他的未来需要在本赛季结束后解决。

有多家意甲球队想在冬季转会市场上签下他，德国队也有兴趣。

4月30日，体育见证人 来自罗马尼亚的承保索赔 德拉古辛已经对莱比锡红牛表示同意，莱比锡红牛必须与托特纳姆热刺达成协议。

也许拉兹万·拉什可以再次打电话。

Tottenham HotspurRadu Dragusin joined the Premier League team from Genoa in January 2024.

Two years ago, Drăgușin’s Agent Florin Mane confirmed Interest from both Napoli and Bayern Munich.

However, the defender decided to move to Tottenham, where he did not have the same impact as at Genoa.

Juventus first brought him to Italy in 2018 and let him go on loan to Sampdoria and Salernitana during the 2021/22 season.

The Romania international moved to Genoa on a loan deal in July 2022 and joined them permanently a year later. During his time with the Italian club, the centre-back played 62 matches.

according to prosport In Romania, Radu Dragusin wanted to move to SC Heerenveen instead of Genoa, who were in Serie B at the time.

Former Romania international Razvan Ras managed to transform his personality.

Tottenham man receives transfer advice

The 44-year-old, who had a spell at West Ham United during his playing career, convinced his compatriot to choose Genoa over the Eredivisie side. He made the call at the request of the defender’s agent, Florin Mané.

Ras told the defender “You’re going to have hemorrhoids on the bench!” In Heerenveen.

He said: “I was in Bali on holidays, and I got a call from Florin Mania. Dragusin’s loan at Salernitana had expired, and Juventus wanted to get rid of him. He was no longer part of their plans.

“And Mania said to me: ‘You also talk to Dragusin. He has an offer from Heerenveen, and he really wants to go there.’ I talked to Andres [Blazquez]From genoa. They want him, they are buying him, but the player does not want to go to Serie B. You explain to him that he should not go to Heerenveen. Because it’s better. It’s Serie B, it has better visibility”.

“At the same time, Andrés called me: ‘Won’t you talk to the player, convince him to come to us? Let’s tell him that, even if he makes mistakes and I don’t know what, we will care, we see a good player in him.’

“I took the phone number, I called him: ‘Hi, I’m Razwan Ras! I’d like to talk a little about your career.’ And I told him what the club wanted, what Andrés had explained to me.”

“I told him: ‘It’s Serie B, but still, you have visibility. At Heerenveen, if you go there, you will make a bad mistake twice and end up having to go to the bench. If I were you, I would choose it’. That was my discussion with him, and I told him it was his decision. I talked to him for about 30 minutes. And that was it.”

What’s next for the Spurs defender?

Efforts by Rezvan Ras, Andrés Blázquez and Florin Mania paid off as Radu Dragusin defeated Genoa.

This helped him move to a Premier League team, where his future needs will be met after this season.

There were several Serie A sides who wanted to sign him in the winter market, and there was also German interest.

On April 30, Khel Witness Covered claims from Romania That Dragusin has said yes to RB Leipzig, who are to agree a deal with Tottenham Hotspur.

Maybe Razwan Raas will come on the phone again.

埃尔林·哈兰德的经纪人拉斐拉·皮门塔承认 曼城 在转会方面，他们是最难谈判的俱乐部。

ESPN荷兰队今天采访了巴西经纪人 她在其中讨论了转会和埃尔林·哈兰德的所有事情。

曼城的困难

Pimenta 是足球行业最大的经纪人之一，代理的客户包括埃尔林·哈兰德 (Erling Haaland) 和阿恩·斯洛特 (Arne Slot)。

她曾为米诺·拉伊奥拉工作过，几年前他去世后，她又接手了他以前的部分客户。哈兰德就是其中之一。

显然，他是世界足坛最伟大的球星之一，也是她目前 31 名客户名单中最知名的人物。

去年，哈兰德在阿提哈德球场签下了一份为期九年半的新合同，让他留到2034年夏天。这使他的合同增加到每周约40万英镑，远远超过阿提哈德球场的最高收入。

不过，正如皮门塔所解释的那样，该交易的谈判并不容易。事实上，她说曼城是“最难交谈的俱乐部”。

“因为他们非常认真，非常有组织，” 他说。

“他们很大。他们知道自己在做什么，有很多经验，他们实际上什么都不需要，他们拥有一切。所以，我们没有谈判的余地。”

埃尔林·哈兰德赞扬

不过，关于她的客户，她似乎有更好的话要说。虽然埃尔林·哈兰德此时此刻可能是一位巨大的超级巨星，但他并没有通常的超级巨星态度。

“他的举止非常随意；他很容易相处，非常放松和谦虚，” 他补充道。

“他不喜欢成为众人瞩目的焦点；他不喜欢废话；他喜欢专注于真正重要的事情：足球。对他来说，足球是你可以参加的最严肃的运动。”

The Boston Celtics performed better than anyone expected in 2025-26. They entered this season with very low expectations as there was no guarantee that top star Jayson Tatum would suit up as he recovered from a torn Achilles suffered the previous spring. However, an MVP-caliber season from Jaylen Brown and a defense that gave up a league-leading 107.2 points per game, earning them the No. 2 seed in the East playoffs.

With Tatum returning in March and immediately looking impressive, the Celtics began the postseason as favorites to reach the NBA Finals. However, despite having a 3–1 series lead over the Philadelphia 76ers, they were surprisingly eliminated in the opening round for the first time since the bubble playoffs.

His exit in the first round raises many questions on the structure of this team. Could they be finals contenders as they try to field two players with supermax contracts? Is making the playoffs every year enough? If the goal is to compete for championships, the Celtics need to make some big changes.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at five bold deals the Celtics could make this summer.

Bam Adebayo, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and first-round picks Jaylen Brown in 2028, 2030 and 2032

If the Celtics decide they need to move one of those supermax contracts, Brown will likely be the odd man out, despite being an MVP candidate. But if they ever wanted to trade him, now would be the right time as his value is as high as it will ever be.

If there’s any glaring weakness for Boston, it’s in the front court. If they trade Brown, they still have strong core talent in Tatum and Derrick White. This is why Miami Heat great Bam Adebayo could be a trade target. He will give them both a defensive force on the front line and a good scorer who will help make up for the points left due to losing the Browns.

A deal that sends Adebayo, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and two future first-round picks should get a deal done.

Jaylen Brown, Malik Monk, two first picks, including lottery selection in June, for Domantas Sabonis

Another potential target to strengthen the front court could be three-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis. While the Sacramento Kings star isn’t a defensive force, he is an elite rebounder and can stretch the floor just like Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford.

To put the money to work, the Celtics would need to pick up the two years and $41 million remaining on Malik Monk’s contract. But if they get two first-rounders back in the deal, including the Kings’ lottery pick in June, that’s fine. The biggest issue is that Sacramento will have to find a trade for Zach LaVine and/or DeMar DeRozan after a deal is made.

Derrick White for Jakob Poeltl and Grady Dick

The Celtics don’t need to trade Brown to be better in 2026-27. However, this would mean they would have to move on from fan-favorite defensive player Derrick White. A potential trade could see the two-time All-Defensive Team honoree sent to the Toronto Raptors for centers Jakob Poeltl and Grady Dick.

While it’s not a sexy trade on the surface, Poeltl is a rock-solid and strong anchor in the front court that does everything you need to stabilize that position. As for Dick, he could be a potential steal who could be an impact player in Joe Mazzulla’s three-point-heavy attack.

Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo

Since Brown had such an impressive season, another option would be a swap for Milwaukee Bucks great Giannis Antetokounmpo. While the Greek icon has more accolades, Brown is a few years younger and far healthier than the 10-time All-Star has been in recent years. If necessary, the Celtics can add a future first-rounder, but they shouldn’t add more than that.

The Bucks will get to build a new star in his prime, while the Celtics can experiment with the combo of Antetokounmpo and Tatum for a season. If that doesn’t work out, they free up a ton of cap space after next season if he opts out in search of a new long-term deal.

Jaylen Brown for Alpern Sengun, Fred VanVleet and two first-round picks

An interesting young star who could be on the trade block this summer, and who addresses the Celtics’ frontcourt needs, is Houston Rockets two-time All-Star Alpern Sengun. While he has been questioned for his play consistently and early in the playoffs, he is still only 23 and has excelled in Ime Udoka’s defense-first system.

Houston would be interested in a championship by pairing Jaylen Brown with Kevin Durant in 2026-27. But Sengun and Tatum have plenty of long-term potential. Additionally, to make the money work, the Celtics would get veteran guard Fred VanVleet (if he opts into the final year of his deal) and two future first-round picks.

伯恩利的 迈克尔·科莱奥肖在租借到巴黎足球俱乐部期间找到了一些状态。这有助于他在意大利引起注意。

上个月， 体育见证人 报道了这位攻击手关于他对AC米兰的热爱的评论。他还形容转会意甲是一个梦想。

尽管他曾为意大利U21队效力，但他从未在意大利踢过球，之前曾效力于西班牙人队。

这位伯恩利球员本赛季打进了三个法甲进球，很快引起了博洛尼亚的兴趣。这可以帮助 Koleosho 实现梦想。

博洛尼亚寻找意大利人

《罗马体育报》 昨天谈到了博洛尼亚夏季转会窗口的计划。他们详细介绍说，体育总监马尔科·迪瓦约和技术总监乔瓦尼·萨托里周末在看台上观看了巴黎FC在法甲联赛中4-0战胜布雷斯特的比赛。

据称，后卫奥塔维奥是此行的具体焦点，但他们并不排除对其他球员的兴趣。

今天的 《罗马体育报》 表示红军也对这位伯恩利球员感兴趣。萨托里和迪瓦约都是他的粉丝，并认为他是下赛季可以提高球队进攻能力的人。

转会取决于里卡多·奥索里尼的未来，乔纳森·罗的情况也存在疑问。

Koleosho在巴黎的崛起引起了博洛尼亚的兴趣。报告提到，由于他在法国的表现，这位租借到波尔多的球员获得了“可观的溢价”。

伯恩利可能几乎没有控制权

截至目前，巴黎足球俱乐部可以选择永久购买科莱奥肖。目前还不清楚这是否会成功，但这位边锋在特夫摩尔的未来似乎已经确定。

伯恩利的降级也没有帮助。

巴黎足球俱乐部甚至可能决定对这位 21 岁的球员使用他们的选择权，然后将他出售。

埃爾林·哈蘭德的經紀人拉斐拉·皮門塔承認，在轉會方面，曼城是最難談判的俱樂部。

ESPN 荷蘭今天接受了這位巴西經紀人的採訪，她在採訪中討論了轉會和埃爾林·哈蘭德的所有事情。

曼城的困難

Pimenta 是足球行業最大的經紀人之一，代理的客戶包括 Elne Slot。

她曾為米諾·拉伊奧拉工作過，幾年前他去世後，她又接手了他以前的部分客戶。哈蘭德就是其中之一。

顯然，他是世界足壇最偉大的球星之一，也是她目前 31 名客戶名單中最知名的人物。

去年，哈蘭德在阿提哈德球場簽下了一份為期九年半的新合同，讓他留到2034年夏天。這使他的合約增加到每週約40萬英鎊，遠遠超過阿提哈德球場的最高收入。

不過，正如皮門塔所解釋的那樣，該交易的談判並不容易。事實上，她說曼城是「最難交談的俱樂部」。

“因為他們非常認真，非常有組織，” 他說。

“他們很大。他們知道自己在做什麼，有很多經驗，他們實際上什麼都不需要，他們擁有一切。所以，我們沒有談判的餘地。”

埃爾林·哈蘭德讚揚

不過，關於她的客戶，她似乎有更好的話要說。雖然埃爾林·哈蘭德此時此刻可能是一位巨大的超級巨星，但他並沒有通常的超級巨星態度。

“他的舉止非常隨意；他很容易相處，非常放鬆和謙虛，” 他補充道。

“他不喜歡成為眾人矚目的焦點；他不喜歡廢話；他喜歡專注於真正重要的事情：足球。對他來說，足球是你可以參加的最嚴肅的運動。”

德文·菲茨傑拉德 – 2B – 國民隊

菲茨-杰拉德是另一位國民隊的新秀，在與流浪者隊的職業首秀中令人印象深刻後，他在麥肯齊·戈爾的交易中被收購，流浪者隊在 2024 年選秀第五輪選中了他。

這位變擊內野手在亞利桑那綜合聯賽和低 A 聯賽中表現出色，在 41 場比賽中累計交出 0.302/.428/.482 斜線（143 wRC+），然後因肩傷而縮短了賽季。他的表現足以被視為我們 2026 年潛在突破的候選人之一。

儘管在 Low-A 的代表次數有限，國民隊還是將 Fitz-Gerald 推到了 High-A 的開局，他沒有錯過任何一次比賽。在他的前 24 場比賽中，菲茨-杰拉德的上壘次數超過了三振次數，已經有 14 次額外安打和 10 次盜壘，正朝著 175 wRC+ 邁進。

操作簡單流暢，兩側槍管手感極佳。菲茨傑拉德不太追球，而且能很好地破壞艱難的投球，這使他成為一個很難被擊倒的擊球手。他可能不會在出口速度方面點燃它，但他從兩側產生良好的角度，這應該使他成為雙打機器。

庫柏弗萊明 – SS – 光芒

弗萊明是一位全面發展的球員，在 2025 年選秀第二輪被選中，光芒隊對他的綜合能力很感興趣。一年後，弗萊明看起來更加強壯，提供了一種潛在的有趣的擊球和力量的結合。透過他在 Low-A 的前 23 場職業比賽，弗萊明以 3 支全壘打和 11 支額外安打，取得了 0.364/.457/.568 線（176 wRC+）的曲調。

弗萊明始終如一地找到桶，將線驅動器噴灑到所有場地，以達到 50% 的重擊率。這是一個非常簡單的操作，幾乎沒有手部動作，步幅也很小，很容易理解弗萊明是如何在第一次接觸職業球的情況下保持82%的接觸率的。

在他身高 6 英尺 3 英寸、體重 190 磅的非常突出的身材和可以容納更多暴力的操作之間，人們很容易夢想擁有舒適的高於平均水平的力量來搭配弗萊明的自然擊球感覺。

內森弗萊韋林 – C – 光芒

文章中提到的第二個季前賽突破新秀和第二個雷，弗萊韋林將他令人著迷的退出速度轉化為本賽季 High-A 的比賽力量，他已經離場七次。這位左撇子接球手簡化了他的動作，此前他的手部動作更大，這可能會導致他遲到並有時與下半身不同步。

armory The club are the latest to enter the race for Danilo’s rise, with the Botafogo midfielder continuing to attract attention ahead of the World Cup.

The Brazilian midfielder was already attracting serious attention after an impressive start to the season in Brazil, but things are clearly ramping up now as the World Cup approaches.

At this point, there is growing expectation that Danilo will leave Botafogo after the tournament – ​​especially as his value continues to rise almost every week.

The former Nottingham Forest ace has already scored 9 goals and 3 assists in 21 appearances this season, which is an excellent return for a midfielder.

He has become one of the faces of this Botafogo team, has firmly played his part in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans with Brazil and is now expected to be part of his final World Cup squad.

price is rising rapidly

The combination of form, World Cup performances and increased interest in the Premier League is turning Botafogo’s demands very quickly.

A few weeks ago, the conversation around Danilo Was sitting around €30m (£26m). Now the picture looks completely different.

globo esporte Botafogo are said to be looking at a bullish deal in the region of €35m-40m (£30m-34m), while RTI game There are even claims the club will start negotiations at around €45m (£39m).

And the plan is very clear. Botafogo do not want to sell before the World Cup as they believe the tournament could push Danilo into an even higher league financially. Now looking at the number of clubs involved, it’s not hard to see why they think this.

Arsenal made their move

Arsenal entering the race is a big new development. According to Globo Esporte, Arsenal have already made contact with Danilo’s staff.

There have been no formal talks with Botafogo at this stage, but Arsenal are clearly gathering information and positioning themselves around the player.

He is energetic, aggressive without the ball and more productive in attack. His ability to apply pressure, win possession and still get into the box fits the type of dynamic midfielder Mikel Arteta often likes to work with. At 24, there’s also room to move forward.

The Brazilian is also not a traditional holding midfielder. He loves to get forward, attack space and contribute high up the pitch, which helps explain his strong goal numbers this season.

And As we have already coveredHe wants to return to England and show he can progress at the highest level after what happened at Forest.

Naturally, Arsenal will provide a very different playing environment and level of consistency compared to what they arrived at in Nottingham. However, their case has been strengthened with World Cup pedigree and an exceptional year in Brazil.

Premier League clubs everywhere

fulham Remains one of the strongest contenders and has already discussed the figure of €30m (£26m). Manchester United Initial contact has already been made with Botafogo. And newcastle and tottenham Are also in the picture.

Outside England, Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco, Benfica, Galatasaray, Milan and Atletico Madrid have all appeared in talks at different moments. Zenit are still interested, but Danilo is not keen on the move just yet.

Arsenal will need to be smart in this regard. Danilo is becoming one of the most wanted midfielders on the market ahead of the World Cup – and the Champions League finalists are now at the middle of the story.

兵工厂 是最新加入达尼洛争夺战的俱乐部，这位博塔弗戈中场在世界杯前继续吸引人们的关注。

这位巴西中场球员在巴西赛季取得出色开局后就已经引起了人们的广泛关注，但随着世界杯的临近，事情显然正在加速发展。

目前，人们越来越期望达尼洛在比赛结束后离开博塔弗戈——特别是因为他的身价几乎每周都在上涨。

这位前诺丁汉森林王牌本赛季已经在21场比赛中打进9球并助攻3次，对于一名中场球员来说这是一个出色的回报。

他已经成为博塔弗戈球队的代表人物之一，坚定地融入了安切洛蒂的巴西计划，现在有望成为世界杯最终阵容的一员。

价格上涨很快

形式、世界杯曝光度和英超联赛日益浓厚的兴趣相结合，正在迅速改变博塔弗戈​​的需求。

几周前，围绕达尼洛的谈话 接近 3000 万欧元（2600 万英镑）。现在情况看起来非常不同了。

环球体育 说博塔弗戈越来越多地考虑在 3500 万至 4000 万欧元（3000 万至 3400 万英镑）范围内，而 RTI体育 甚至声称俱乐部将以 4500 万欧元（3900 万英镑）左右的价格开始谈判。

而且这个计划非常明显。博塔弗戈不想在世界杯之前出售，因为他们相信世界杯可以将达尼洛推向更高的财务水平。看看现在参与其中的俱乐部数量，就不难看出他们为什么这么认为。

阿森纳采取行动

最大的新进展是阿森纳加入了竞争。据环球体育报道，阿森纳已经与达尼洛的工作人员取得了联系。

现阶段还没有与博塔弗戈进行正式谈判，但阿森纳显然正在收集信息并围绕球员定位自己。

他精力充沛，无球时很有侵略性，进攻效率也越来越高。他的压迫、夺回控球权以及进入禁区的能力符合米克尔·阿尔特塔经常喜欢合作的充满活力的中场球员的类型。 24岁了，还有进一步成长的空间。

巴西人也不是传统的控球型中场。他更喜欢向前推进、进攻空间和在球场上做出贡献，这有助于解释他本赛季的强劲进球数。

和 正如我们已经介绍过的，他想回到英格兰，并证明在森林队发生的事情之后，他可以在最高水平上茁壮成长。

当然，与他在诺丁汉遇到的情况相比，阿森纳会提供非常不同的运动环境和稳定性。然而，世界杯血统和在巴西的出色表现让他的理由更加充分。

英超联赛俱乐部随处可见

富勒姆 仍然是最有力的竞争者之一，并且已经讨论了大约 3000 万欧元（2600 万英镑）的数字。 曼联 已经与博塔弗戈进行了初步接触。和 纽卡斯尔和托特纳姆热刺 也在图中。

在英格兰之外，那不勒斯、勒沃库森、摩纳哥、本菲卡、加拉塔萨雷、米兰和马德里竞技都在不同时刻出现在谈话中。泽尼特也仍然感兴趣，但达尼洛现在并不热衷于这一举动。

阿森纳在这一点上需要聪明一点。进入世界杯，达尼洛正在成为市场上最受欢迎的中场球员之一，而欧冠决赛选手现在正处于故事的中心。

UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev will make his first title defense against Sean Strickland on Saturday. The championship fight is set to headline UFC 328 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

After dethroning Dricus du Plessis for the 185-pound championship title last August, Chimaev (15-0) aims to maintain his undefeated record and solidify his status as a middleweight kingpin. Strickland (30-7) last won a championship two years ago. He’ll get another chance when he takes on one of the UFC’s top pound-for-pound fighters.

In anticipation of fight week, we take a look at the five greatest moments of “Borz’s” UFC run.

Khamzat Chimaev’s disastrous UFC debut

In July 2020, the native of Chechen Republic, Russia made his UFC debut with a professional record of 6-0. He defeated John Phillips. Within seconds of the opening round, Chimaev knocked him to the ground. Phillips struggled to get back to his feet throughout the round and Chimaev landed a total of 72 strikes in the first round alone. In the second round, Chimaev continued where he left off and defeated Phillips for the second time.

Just over a minute later, the Russian got Phillips to tap out for a Brabo choke. The quick outing was a big statement from Chimaev in his debut with a major MMA promotion.

Fastest 3-fight win streak in UFC history

In September 2020, Chimaev went up against Gerald Meerschaert. A single right hand effort was enough to knock out Meerschaert, as Chimaev earned a knockout victory at just 0:17 of the first round. This was the shortest period of his tenure with the UFC (but not of his professional career).

With the win, he earned his third consecutive Performance of the Night bonus. Chimaev also won his third consecutive fight in a span of just 66 days. This set a record for the fastest three-fight win streak in UFC history.

Out-Grappling a UFC Legend at UFC 294

Taking a step up in competition, Chimaev faces former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman at UFC 294 in October 2023. “The Nigerian Nightmare” possessed elite takedown defense and was only knocked down once in his UFC career.

However, Chimaev scored four takedowns against Usman, with 7:16 of control time remaining. Chimaev won by majority decision, defeating Usman 107–58 in total strikes. The decision victory over a former world champion proved Chimaev’s case as a high-caliber fighter.

Breaking Robert Whittaker’s jaw at UFC 308

Chimaev faced former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 in October 2024. With a first round loss, the undefeated prospect continued to showcase his fast speed and elite level of wrestling.

Eventually “Reaper” briefly tried to escape, but Chimaev pinned him back to the ground. With just over a minute remaining in the round, Chimaev induced Whittaker to tap to the face crank submission. This was only the second time Whittaker was defeated by submission in the UFC.

Winning gold at UFC 319

Last August at UFC 319, Chimaev got his first title shot against reigning UFC middleweight champion Du Plessis. “Stilnox” had one of the lowest takedown protections among top level fighters. This showed against Chimaev, who scored 12 takedowns and controlled the defending champion to a total of 21:40.

The challenger landed a total of 529 strikes compared to du Plessis’ total of 45. Another UFC record was set by Chimaev for most total strikes in a single fight.

In a completely uneven and one-sided fight, all three judges scored the fight 50–45, giving Chimaev the unanimous decision victory and his first World Championship title.

of burnley Michael Kolesh is finding some form in his loan spell at Paris FC. This is helping him attract attention in Italy.

last month, sports witness The attacker’s comments about his love for AC Milan were covered. He also described going to Serie A as a dream.

Despite playing for the Italy U21 team, he never played in Italy, previously plying his trade with Espanyol.

The Burnley player has three Ligue 1 goals this season and has quickly attracted the interest of Bologna. This could help Colesho achieve his dream.

bologna spies italian

corriere dello sport Yesterday spoke about Bologna’s plans for the summer transfer window. He added that sporting director Marco Di Vaio and technical director Giovanni Sartori were in the stands to watch Paris FC’s 4-0 win over Brest in Ligue 1 at the weekend.

It was mentioned that defender Otavio was a particular focus of the trip but he did not rule out interest in other players.

today’s corriere dello sport The Burnley player is also said to be of interest to the Rossoblu. Sartori and Di Vaio are admirers of his profile and see him as someone who can improve their attack next season.

Any move will depend on Riccardo Orsolini’s future, with Jonathan Rowe’s status also in doubt.

The rise of coleus in Paris has attracted the interest of Bologna. The report mentions that the Clarets loanee is commanding a ‘significant premium’ due to his form in France.

Burnley may be a little less in control

At the moment, Paris FC has the option to purchase Colesho permanently. There is little clarity as to whether or not that will happen, but it appears the winger’s future at Turf Moor has been sealed.

Burnley’s relegation hasn’t helped either.

Paris FC could also decide to exercise their option on the 21-year-old and then sell him.

米克尔·阿尔特塔 (Mikel Arteta) 值得一尊雕像 兵工厂 带领球队20年来首次进入欧冠决赛。

这是韦斯利·斯内德的说法，他对这位阿森纳主帅的评价再高也不为过。 Voetbal Primeur 转达了他的评论。

欧冠梦想

周二晚上，阿森纳以 1-0 战胜马德里竞技队，锁定了在匈牙利举行的欧冠决赛的席位。

决赛可能对阵巴黎圣日耳曼队或拜仁慕尼黑队，这两支球队将在周三晚上的另一场半决赛中交锋。

对于阿尔特塔来说，这是另一个重要的里程碑，他将阿森纳打造成一支强大的欧洲球队，现在正在争夺冠军联赛和英超冠军，他们的命运掌握在自己手中。

部分枪手球迷仍然不相信，但斯内德丝毫不认同这种心态。

“对于马竞来说，这实在是太平庸、太胆怯了。” 他在 Ziggo Sport 上说道。

“这位先生……我不能经常这样说，朋友们。但他确实值得一尊雕像。与这支球队一起进入决赛真是令人印象深刻。将所有其他世界级球队抛在身后。我认为这非常令人印象深刻。”

阿尔特塔应该得到一座雕像吗？

米克尔·阿尔特塔是否能在阿森纳获得一座雕像肯定会在未来几周内确定。

随着英超联赛和欧冠决赛的到来，他们有机会以壮观的方式结束本赛季。

但这也可能为阿尔特塔领导下的光明未来奠定基础。随着他们获得第一个冠军头衔，未来将会有更多的渴望和渴望。

通过对现有阵容进行巧妙的补充，这是非常可行的。但这也将首先取决于未来几周发生的情况。现在是阿森纳主帅真正证明自己价值的时候了。

米克爾·阿爾特塔 (Mikel Arteta) 帶領阿森納 20 年來首次進入歐冠決賽，理應為阿森納贏得一尊雕像。

這是韋斯利·斯內德的說法，他對這位阿森納主帥的評價再高也不為過。 Voetbal Primeur 轉達了他的評論。

歐冠夢想

週二晚上，阿森納以 1-0 擊敗馬德里競技隊，鎖定了在匈牙利舉行的歐冠決賽的席位。

決賽可能對陣巴黎聖日耳曼或拜仁慕尼黑隊，這兩支球隊將在周三晚上的另一場半決賽中交鋒。

對於阿爾特塔來說，這是另一個重要的里程碑，他將阿森納打造成一支強大的歐洲球隊，現在正在爭奪冠軍聯賽和英超冠軍，他們的命運掌握在自己手中。

部分槍手球迷仍不相信，但史奈德絲毫不認同這種心態。

“對於馬競來說，這實在是太平庸、太膽怯了。” 他在 Ziggo Sport 上說道。

「這位先生……我不能經常這樣說，朋友們。但他確實值得一尊雕像。與這支球隊一起進入決賽真是令人印象深刻。將所有其他世界級球隊拋在身後。我認為這非常令人印象深刻。”

阿爾特塔應該得到一座雕像嗎？

米克爾·阿爾特塔是否能在阿森納獲得一座雕像肯定會在未來幾週內確定。

隨著英超聯賽和歐冠決賽的到來，他們有機會以壯觀的方式結束本賽季。

但這也可能為阿爾特塔領導下的光明未來奠定基礎。隨著他們獲得第一個冠軍頭銜，未來將會有更多的渴望和渴望。

透過對現有陣容進行巧妙的補充，這是非常可行的。但這也將首先取決於未來幾週發生的情況。現在是阿森納主帥真正證明自己價值的時候了。

拉斐爾·德弗斯 (Rafael Devers)、威利·亞當斯 (Willy Adames) 和馬特·查普曼 (Matt Chapman) 是這個名單中的明星，他們都得到了同樣的報酬。然而，他們都沒有這麼做。根據wRC+，這支球隊的領頭羊是名單上資格最差的三名擊球手。

當然，我們可以根據他們的記錄假設他們會相對快速地開始行動，但有一個舊金山無法預測的變數。由於內場擁擠，凱西·施密特今年到目前為止大部分時間都是指定擊球手。

進入本賽季，我們猜測埃爾德里奇一旦被徵召，就可以與拉斐爾·德弗斯一起上場。然而，巨人隊無法將施密特的球棒從陣容中剔除，因為他是巨人隊的最佳擊球手，並且遙遙領先。

施密特的 0.901 OPS 比巨人隊第二好的合格擊球手 Luis Arraez 高出 162 分，後者目前擁有 0.739 OPS。

當被問及這一情況時，巨人隊棒球營運總裁巴斯特·波西明確表示了一件事：施密特的上場時間不會消失。

「凱西一直打得很好。我認為他不應該因為其他人打得不好而受到懲罰。這將是一些混合和匹配，並試圖在凱西在那裡的情況下找到一些對我們有利的對位，而且他過去已經證明了他可以四處走動並打一些不同的位置。”

– 巴斯特·波西 (Buster Posey)，來自 NBCSBA 的亞歷克斯·帕夫洛維奇 (Alex Pavlovic)

這給新任主帥托尼·維特洛留下了一個棘手的局面。為了讓施密特和艾德里奇都留在陣容中，你會每晚讓一位經驗豐富、高薪的內野手上場嗎？你是否將施密特或埃爾德里奇之一扔到左外野並從赫利奧特·拉莫斯手中奪走擊球手？

不管怎樣，是時候做出改變了。巨人隊的進攻是棒球界最差的。

Ted Turner, who helped finance one of the world’s most powerful wrestling promotions, World Championship Wrestling (WCW), has died at the age of 87.

In the 1980s, World Wrestling Federation (WWF) founder Vince McMahon had the bold idea of ​​taking his brand nationally. In the process, they revolutionized the concept of regional wrestling promotions and dominated the industry for a decade and well into the 1990s. One of the regional brands that faced financial problems due to the dominance of the WWF – now WWE – was North Carolina company Jim Crockett Promotions. Who owned a share of the NWA.

With his company in dire straits, Crockett sold his wrestling assets to rapidly rising media mogul Ted Turner. The man who turned TBS, TNT and CNN into powerhouse national television networks was a wrestling fan and wanted to continue airing in-ring content on TBS.

Turner already had a weekly show called “World Championship Wrestling”, so he took Crockett’s roster, which included wrestling icon Ric Flair, and turned WCW into a real wrestling promotion. Still, despite airing content on national TV each week, success like the WWF was not immediate.

Ted Turner helped propel WCW to the top of wrestling

So the television veteran decided to put his money where his mouth was, and when new WCW boss Eric Bischoff asked him to invest big bucks in WWF legends like Hulk Hogan and “Macho Man” Randy Savage, he did. Although this has not yet turned them into real competition for the WWF, it has given the brand far more credibility in the industry.

WCW then regained that identity and added better storylines and talent. With the help of the massively successful nWo storyline and the high-flying cruiserweights, the company became the strongest in the industry and nearly put the WWF/WWE out of business.

That growth was supported by Turner’s wealth and the mega-companies he created. This is why the WWF did parody segments about Turner, Hogan and Savage in the mid-90s and called them “Billionaire Ted”. They could sense the growing threat he was helping to create in WCW.

Along with his roles at WCW, TBS, TNT and CNN, he also owned the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Hawks for a few decades. He died on Wednesday after battling dementia in the last years of his life.

Hull City boss Ekun Ilicali has promised his players a trip to Las Vegas if they make the Premier League and has backed Ollie McBurnie to shine in Turkey if he ever gets there.

News report comments from Ilikali today. He is dreaming of seeing his team reach the top flight, and is promising big rewards if they do.

Hull City’s Premier League dreams

Hull face Millwall in the play-off semi-final first leg at home on Friday, before the second leg at The Den next week. Then they will face Middlesbrough or Southampton in the final.

The Tigers entered the play-offs on the final day of the season as three clubs had a chance to secure the final spot on the day.

All three sides, Hull, Wrexham and Derby County, occupied the place at one point in the afternoon, but it was Ilicali’s side who took victory thanks to victory over Norwich City. They had to fall behind by one goal to get all three points.

Now they can reach the Premier League. And Ilikali is planning a huge reward if his players manage it.

“If Hull City are promoted to the Premier League, I’m sending the whole team on a private plane to Las Vegas. That will be their reward,” he said live on TV8.

Oli McBurnie’s praise

There was also time for praise for Ollie McBurnie, the undoubted star of this current Hull City team. It was his two goals that ensured Norwich’s victory and a place in the play-offs.

The 29-year-old has 17 goals and eight assists in 37 games in the Championship this season. This left him tied for second place in the top scorer chart with Hadji Wright and six behind Zhan Vipotnik.

However, Hull stars have more assists combined and a better goals per 90 ratio. Ilikali is a big fan, and is confident that he will shine in the Turkish Super Lig.

He said, “If Ollie McBurnie was at Fenerbahçe, he would not have scored less than 25 goals.”

“Whoever comes in front of him he scores. His specialty is that if the ball comes to him he scores. Some of the goals he scores are not natural goals

赫尔城老板阿昆·伊利卡勒（Acun Ilıcalı）向他的球员承诺，如果他们进入英超联赛，他们将前往拉斯维加斯，并支持奥利·麦克伯尼（Ollie McBurnie）如果他能去那里，他会在土耳其大放异彩。

今天来自 Ilıcalı 的新闻报道评论。 他梦想着看到自己的球队进入顶级联赛，并承诺如果成功的话，他会得到丰厚的回报。

赫尔城的英超梦想

赫尔城将于周五在附加赛半决赛首回合主场迎战米尔沃尔，下周将在丹尼球场进行第二回合比赛。然后他们将在决赛中面对米德尔斯堡或南安普顿。

老虎队在赛季最后一天进入附加赛，因为当天三支球队都有机会获得最后的席位。

赫尔城、雷克瑟姆和德比郡这三支球队在下午的某个时刻都占据了这一位置，但伊利卡利的球队凭借战胜诺维奇城的胜利而取得了胜利。他们必须在落后一球的情况下才能确保全取三分。

现在他们可能会进入英超联赛。 Ilıcalı 计划如果他的球员能够做到这一点，将会获得丰厚的奖励。

“如果赫尔城升入英超，我将派全队乘坐私人飞机飞往拉斯维加斯。这将是他们的奖励，”他在TV8的直播中说道。

奥利·麦克伯尼赞扬

奥利·麦克伯尼 (Oli McBurnie) 也是目前赫尔城队中无可争议的明星球员。正是他的两个进球确保了诺维奇的胜利并获得了附加赛的席位。

这位29岁的球员本赛季在英冠比赛中出场37次，打进17球并助攻8次。这使得他在得分榜上与哈吉·赖特并列第二，落后扎恩·维波特尼克六分。

不过，这位赫尔城球星的助攻数比两人的总和还要多，而且每 90 球的进球数也更高。伊勒卡勒是一名超级球迷，并坚信自己会在土耳其超级联赛中大放异彩。

“如果奥利·麦克伯尼在费内巴切，他的进球数不会少于 25 个，”他补充道。

“他随心所欲地进球。他的特点是，只要球传到他身边，他就进球。他进球的一些进球并不是自然进球。”

在多明尼克的先發中，他的五投手能力讓野貓隊無法應付。從四縫快球開始，速度為 94-96（最高 97 英里/小時），獲得近 20 英寸的騎行距離。此外，他還採用了一種罕見的墜球，主要針對右投手，該投球仍處於 90 年代中低水平，平均跑動距離為 16 英寸。

至於偏離速度，每一個都讓這個起步變成歷史性的。週五，沃格勒投出了 80 年代中期的弧線球 49 次，平均轉速接近 3,000 轉，撲球率超過 60%，投球命中率超過 75%。

此外，多明尼克混合了一個滑塊，在以相似的速度投擲時保持更多的清掃器形狀，有利於 70% 的命中率，平均轉速也接近 3,000 rpm。最後是變速球，這種球最常投給左撇子，速度為 88-90 英里/小時，從球檯上跳下，經常產生粗糙的速度。

堪薩斯隊絕對是一支強隊，在過去的 22 場比賽中贏了 21 場，沃格爾是其中的關鍵原因。他在過去的四場先發中被擊中了 45 次，這對他 2024 年的狀態來說更是如此，同時也證明了松鴉鷹隊有能力主辦季後賽棒球比賽。

多米尼克很可能會在下週五主場對陣西弗吉尼亞州的比賽中為堪薩斯隊首發。

Voegele 在我們的 100 所大學前景委員會中排名第 95。

科林·里奇（Kollin Ritchie）也許是大學棒球史上最喧鬧的周末，他擊出四支全壘打，七支上壘，最終為牛仔隊贏得了三場大十二聯盟​​勝利。

在對陣 TCU 的三場比賽中，里奇擊出 9 球，平均出球速度為 102 英里/小時，重擊率略低於 90%。他在中半區和內半區伏擊了一切，將最大出口速度限制在 107 英里/小時。

The New Jersey Devils should aggressively trade their 12th overall pick instead of using it to select a player in the 2026 NHL Draft.

Tuesday night’s draft lottery brought a few surprises. The Toronto Maple Leafs moved up to first overall. The San Jose Sharks moved up eight spots to number two.

However, the devils were undeterred.

They are now locked in at 12 after missing their 2.5% chance of reaching number 2.

At least he didn’t fall.

Now, new Devils general manager Sunny Mehta knows how much he values ​​his first-round draft pick. He won’t get a chance in Gavin McKenna or Ivar Stenberg. However, he should give himself a chance at a top-six forward to break out the line-up of Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt.

When the Devils fired Tom Fitzgerald, it became clear that New Jersey needed a change.

Fitzgerald’s tenure as Devils GM was mixed. A major factor contributing to his departure to New Jersey was his patience to a fault.

At the 2026 NHL trade deadline, he stood down. Not a single trade was made after making the surprise decision to bring in Nick Bjugstad in an unexpected push for the playoffs.

Still, at the deadline, players like Nicolas Roy were getting a first-round pick, and the Devils have Cody Glass — who they could have reacquired more futures to flip for a more pressing need.

Suffice it to say that Fitzgerald displayed too much patience and it ultimately cost the organization.

Mehta needs to separate. One of the reasons he was brought to New Jersey was to contribute to his success with the Florida Panthers. He helped facilitate the trade that brought them to Matthew Tkachuk. He assisted in removing Gustav Forsling from remission. And that was part of the decision to flip Spencer Knight for Seth Jones.

Now, the Devils need that kind of offensive action to improve their top six. After all, Mehta himself had said this. Change is needed.

When he was introduced as the Devils GM, Mehta said, “I see a lot of similarities because when I got to Florida, they’ve been through some tough times recently.” “But they had some very talented players. There are some things we need to maintain and some things we need to change.”

Despite recent results, the devil’s window is now open. They have the top talent to win, but it’s an incomplete puzzle.

Mehta has a lot of decisions to make this summer, one of them being what to do with his first-round pick. Whoever they pick at the age of 12 will not be of any help for the next two-three seasons. The devils have no time to wait any longer.

The Devils’ biggest need will be scoring. Package the pickup and take it to help now.

Settling to select a player in that situation, rather than making a trade to improve on him now, would be a sign of the same complacency.

阿恩·斯洛特 (Arne Slot) 的经纪人拉斐拉·皮门塔 (Rafaela Pimenta) 暗示，将会有“很多变化” 利物浦 今年夏天，在承认与红军打交道是她职业生涯中最重要的时刻之后。

荷兰ESPN接受采访 今天与巴西经纪人。她讨论了各种话题，包括斯洛特在利物浦的地位。

利物浦夏季变化

这位荷兰教练面临着一个有趣的夏天，大部分利物浦球迷希望看到他被取代。

对于利物浦主帅来说，这是艰难的一年，在上赛季卫冕失败后，利物浦目前落后领头羊阿森纳18分。

尽管红军在这个夏天花费了创纪录的资金来重塑球队，并进行了重大补充，但还是发生了这样的情况。不过，来自英格兰的报道表明，斯洛特保留了俱乐部高层的信任。除非发生重大变化，否则他将留在安菲尔德。

尽管有阿贾克斯的联系，但情况仍然如此。最近的报道表明，荷兰豪门已经向利物浦主帅提出了报价。

皮门塔对此不予置评。但她确实表示利物浦和阿贾克斯“肯定会有很多变化”。

“阿贾克斯是一家重要的俱乐部，尽管它肯定不是像皇马和巴塞罗那那样的大俱乐部，” 他说。

“但对巴西来说，阿贾克斯是一个非常重要的俱乐部，因为它是一个购买俱乐部。而我们（巴西）是一个出口国。”

阿恩·斯洛特合同谈判

相反，皮门塔更愿意关注阿恩·斯洛特 (Arne Slot) 在 2024 年夏天首次转会利物浦。据她说，这是她职业生涯迄今为止最大、最重要的转会。

“这确实令人难以置信，” 她补充道。

“想象一下：我在巴西长大，在那里我远远地关注着利物浦，在那个赛季，你会想：哇，看看利物浦！突然你就坐在那里谈判主教练的合同。我认为这是我职业生涯中最有影响力的时刻之一，是的。”

现在的焦点是是否正在进行更多合同谈判。斯洛特的合同只剩下一年了，他发现自己的处境岌岌可危。

他是否获得续约肯定取决于下赛季的情况。在这一点上，肯定没有多少利物浦球迷会分发它。

Arne Slott’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has hinted that there will be ‘a lot of changes’ liverpool After admitting that signing the deal with the Reds this summer was the biggest moment of his career.

ESPN Netherlands has an interview Today with the Brazilian agent. She discusses a variety of topics including the slot situation at Liverpool.

The Dutch coach is facing an interesting summer, with a large portion of Liverpool fans wanting to see him replaced at the helm.

It has been a difficult year for the Liverpool manager, with Liverpool currently 18 points behind leaders Arsenal after offering a non-existent defense of the title last season.

This comes despite a massive summer in which the Reds spent a record amount of money to reshape the squad with major additions. However, reports from England have indicated that Slott retains the confidence of the club hierarchy. Unless there is a major change, he will remain at Anfield.

This is despite connecting to Ajax. Recent reports have indicated that the Dutch giants have made an offer to the Liverpool manager.

Pimenta would not comment on that. But he hinted that ‘there will definitely be a lot of changes’ at Liverpool and Ajax.

“Ajax is an important club, although it is certainly not a big club like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.” He said.

“But for Brazil, Ajax is a very important club because it is a buying club. And we (Brazil) are an exporting country.”

Arne Slott contract negotiations

Instead, Pimenta preferred to focus on Arne Slot’s initial move to Liverpool in the summer of 2024. According to him, this move was the biggest and most important step in his career so far.

“It was really incredible,” He added.

“Imagine: I grew up in Brazil, where I followed Liverpool from a distance, during a season when you thought: Wow, look at Liverpool! And suddenly you’re sitting there negotiating the manager’s contract. I think it was one of the most influential moments of my career, yes.”

The focus now is on whether further contract negotiations are to take place. With only one year left on his deal, Slott finds himself in a precarious situation.

Whether he gets an extension or not will certainly depend on how next season goes. At the moment, there certainly aren’t many Liverpool fans who would hand it over.

我們都知道卡本特是一個糟糕的防守者，所以他的數據不應該令人驚訝。我確信讓許多人感到驚訝的是前金手套獎得主哈維爾·貝茲（Javier Báez），他被評為負面，但這種趨勢已經持續了一段時間。

在過去的幾個賽季中，貝茲的防守有所後退。 2024 年，他的 DRS 為 -4，OAA 為 -1。 2025 年，DRS 為 -1，OAA 為 0。事實上，他在中鋒位置上被評為更好的防守者，這是他上賽季被引入的位置，這提高了他的整體防守數據。

這可能會感覺不對，因為你仍然看到運動能力和跳水停球、完美的步法，以及第一個衝刺跑動的人。然而，他的射程有所下降，這導致巴埃斯觸球次數減少，從而減少了上場機會。

雖然凱文麥戈尼格的加盟對球隊的進攻非常出色，但他的防守卻有待改進。大多數人認為麥格尼格爾不會短期長期停留，未來最好升到第二或第三。然而，對於 2026 年來說，短時間是他獲得上場時間的最佳途徑。

這張圖是一張熱圖，顯示了麥戈尼格爾在短距離和第三名比賽中高於平均水平（紅色陰影）和低於平均水平（藍色陰影）的位置。簡而言之，向他的手套一側移動是一個挑戰，這並不完全不尋常，因為步法需要將整個身體轉移到第一個位置，這讓你在接球時要考慮另一件事。

儘管麥戈尼格爾的成績很差，但他的運動能力足以隨著任務時間的推移而提高。我懷疑他無論是在短距離還是在第三位置都達到了成為一名優秀防守者的程度，但平均水平是可以達到的。但是，這並不能解決 2026 年的問題。

當然，托雷斯現在的成績很好，但你相信他能在整個賽季中保持這種狀態嗎？我也沒有。老虎隊的內場沒有一個我或指標認為會被視為優秀防守者的球員。當你有像弗蘭伯·瓦爾迪茲這樣的投手時，這是一個問題，他會引發大量滾滾球，從而暴露出內場的問題。

本季開始，球場上的情況並不順利。幸運的是，老虎隊有幾個月的時間來扭轉這些數字，但他們能嗎？

曼联 中场球员卡塞米罗现在已经消除了对他未来的任何疑虑，用他自己的话说，他在老特拉福德的时光即将结束。

卡塞米罗在皇家马德里队度过了一段充满奖杯的时光后，于 2022 年加盟曼联。他很快成为中场的领袖，并帮助老特拉福德夺得了联赛杯和足总杯的奖杯。

在一次内容广泛的采访中发表讲话 ESPN 巴西，卡塞米罗明确表示 不会有延期 在曼联。

“我不认为有任何机会，没有机会再呆一年。我们的想法是从前门离开。这是美好而美妙的四年，我不仅永远感激俱乐部，而且感谢球迷。如果说这四年里我能带走一件事，那就是球迷。但不，我认为一切都结束了。我在这里的周期已经结束了。” 他说。

稍后他强化了这一决定，并解释说他现在认为这是继续前进的正确时机。

“我即将进入我职业生涯的新阶段。我仍然需要决定我要去哪里，但我想以一种好的方式离开，以一种高昂的方式离开。我将永远是英格兰的曼联支持者，我只能感谢球迷们的厚爱。” 他补充道。

曼彻斯特四年即将结束

他在俱乐部的时光并不顺利。伤病和战术变化在某些方面降低了他的影响力。 2025年初，他甚至失去了鲁本·阿莫林手下的位置。尽管如此，他的反应还是符合他这个级别的球员的预期。

卡塞米罗努力回到球队并取得了出色的成绩。他在赛季最后阶段发挥了关键作用，包括参加了欧洲联赛决赛，并提醒了许多人他的重要性。他认为这种反应是他最大的个人成就之一。

“我一直在努力，我一直试图向主教练表明他对我的看法是错误的。我本可以接受它并继续前进，但我没有。我努力改变他的想法，我成功地做到了这一点。这可能是我最大的成就之一。” 他解释道。

进球告别

这种强劲的表现也反映在数字上。卡塞米罗正在享受他职业生涯进球最多的赛季，迄今为止已经打入九球。自 2023 年以来，他也一直没有受伤，这帮助他保持了稳定性和节奏。

即便如此，他仍然清楚自己在球场上的优先事项。

“我儿子问我：‘爸爸，你今天会进球吗？’我告诉他我是一名防守型中场。第一个工作是防守，帮助中后卫、边后卫、中场。如果我能得分，那就是奖金。但首先是防守工作和让球队保持平衡，” 他说。

他还指出了这些贡献背后的集体努力。

“这一切都取决于球队。人们看到最后的触球、进球、扑救，但一切都从其他地方开始。在进攻中，从守门员开始。在防守中，从前锋开始。即使我进球，也是球队的工作。” 他补充道。

情感告别和心态直到最后

当他的曼联篇章即将结束时，卡塞米罗承认了这一时刻的情感压力。离开俱乐部是他以前经历过的事情，但这并不会让事情变得更容易。

“你必须从前门离开。这一直是我在每个俱乐部都尝试做的事情。这是情感的。每场比赛，你都会有更多的感受。你的胸口有这种感觉，但它很美丽。比赛，训练，日常工作 – 这是一个非常好的故事，尤其是这个结局，” 他反思道。

他进一步描述了他如何经历这些最后时刻。

“这个出口几乎太完美了。我很享受它。我真的很享受在曼联这样大的俱乐部里生活的一切。” 他补充道。

尽管知道他会离开，但他的竞争心态并没有改变。

“我一直都是这样，我想我永远都是这样。无论是一分钟还是九十分钟，每天当我上床睡觉时，我都想感觉到我已经付出了一切。我们都知道我要离开，我们知道世界杯即将到来，但这就是我——在球场上付出一切，即使我不能再付出更多了。” 他说。

现在决定转移到下一个目的地

卡塞米罗还明确表示，他的下一步行动将谨慎决定，他的家人在这一过程中发挥着关键作用。 正如我们最近报道的，美国职业足球大联盟可能是他的目的地。

“首要任务是与我的家人交谈，看看他们想要什么。当我决定来曼联时，他们首先支持我。他们总是说无论我们去哪里，他们都会很高兴，但现在这个决定非常重要，我需要与他们一起接受。” 他解释道。

他强调了这一选择的重要性。

“现在这对我来说是一个非常重要的决定，我还需要仔细分析一切。” 他补充道。

同时，他强调了他正在经历的积极时刻。

“对我来说一切进展顺利。这是一个非常好的赛季结束，也是一个非常好的赛季。” 他说。

现在情况已完全确定。它直接来自球员本人，结束了四年的篇章，并为他职业生涯的下一阶段打开了大门。
