Richard Yamoah Hoping To Return Stronger For Hearts

Richard Yamoah has vowed to return to the field stronger than ever for Accra Hearts of Oak as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.

The former Sekondi Hasaacas midfielder has not featured for the Phobians since the team’s win over Medeama SC in Tarkwa in Match-Day Two action of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) at the Tarkwa T&A Park.

Yamoah has since missed nine games which included famous victories over Inter Allies (Tema), AshantiGold (Obuasi) and Berekum Chelsea (Berekum), wins which has boosted Hearts’ record as the top the GPL table after 11 games.

Some soccer fans have questioned whether Yamoah still has a prominent role to play at Hearts but the midfielder says he is determined to show he can still be a key contributor to Hearts’ title chase.

“I promise to return stronger than ever. It has been a very difficult time for me mentally sitting on the touchline and monitoring my teammates at training and in the games. I always want to help the team as a player. It is the worst thing possible when you are forced to watch on from the sidelines,” he told the club’s official newspaper, the Hearts News.

Meanwhile the Hearts technical team says they will not take any unnecessary risks with all injured players who are making their return.

Yamoah will therefore have to bid his time and regain full fitness to stand in with a chance of being included in Coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi’s plans for the rest of the season.

No Olympic Show For Messi

Argentina captain Lionel Messi concedes he is disappointed he will not represent his country at the Olympic Games in Rio.

The Barcelona talisman was left out of his nation’s Olympic squad in order to take part in the Copa America Centenario, which begins on June 3 and will be held in the United States.

Argentina coach Gerardo Martino stressed that Messi, who won gold at the Beijing Games in 2008, agreed with the decision as Argentina aim to make up for last year’s disappointing Copa America final loss to Chile.

Having savoured the 2008 Olympics and the U20s World Cup in the Netherlands in 2005, Messi is frustrated to miss the event in Brazil.

“I would have liked to go because it was a spectacular experience for me to play in the Olympics, just as it was for the U20 World Cup,” Messi told ESPN.

“Not just because we won, but for the experience I gained.

“It was a great experience to stay in the Olympic Village and meet other elite athletes from other sports and to be just another athlete among them; that was very spectacular even though we didn’t spend a lot of time in the village.

“The World Cup is great but the Olympics are something special.”

We Are Ready For Berekum Chelsea Game – Coach Keni

Accra Hearts of Oak coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi has said his side is ready for their next Ghana Premier League (GPL) game as they seek to get back to winning ways after losing their last league fixture.

The Phobians will travel to the Brong Ahafo region to face the might of Berekum Chelsea at the Golden City Park and Coach Keni said they will rise up to the challenge.

He has overseen the team’s training this week to the Legon Ajax Park in preparation for this encounter and hopes it will reflect in their play on Sunday.

“Training has been very good and the players have made a very good effort,” he said, adding that “we will definitely are ready for the game”.

The Phobians will be out to defend their unbeaten away record in the league this season, and, most importantly, restore confidence to the side after their painful loss to Kotoko last Monday.

“Our away form has been good and we hope to continue with that in this game,” Coach Keni said, insisting that they are not under pressure to perform going into this game after losing to their bitter rivals.

“Our players are mentally ready and focused to beat Chelsea. Every game we play, either home or away, we are going in for three points and we will do our best,” the Japanese-American said.

The Phobians will depart Accra to Berekum on Saturday morning for Sunday’s game against a Chelsea side that has won all their five home games this season.

Dembele Banned For Six Matches

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele has been banned for six games by the Football Association for violent conduct against Chelsea’s Diego Costa.

Belgium international Dembele appeared to eye-gouge forward Costa during Spurs’ 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Monday.

Referee Mark Clattenburg did not punish the 28-year-old during the game.

Dembele chose not to contest the charge, and will now be unavailable to manager Mauricio Pochettino until Spurs’ fifth game of next season.

He has made 29 appearances in the league this season, scoring three goals.

Dembele was one of nine Spurs players booked in the draw at Stamford Bridge – a Premier League record for one team.

PSG Willing To Pay €300 Million For Neymar And Cristiano Ronaldo

French side, Paris Saint Germain (PSG) are reportedly willing to make massive investments to take a higher step next season in a bid to win the European Champions League.

According to the information from France Football, the French side are considering to pay almost €300 million to bring two big stars of world football, Neymar from Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.

The desire of PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is for someone to replace Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimović, who has a contract only until June, and could leave the club.

 

The French publication adds that Neymar is one of the obsessions of Al-Khelaïfi, and the President does not rule out paying the Brazilian’s release clause of €190m.

Asked about a possible transfer, World Cup winner and Brazil’s legendary striker Ronaldo said he thinks Neymar will stay at Barcelona.

He told Canal+: “He will continue at Barça. I do not think he will come out of Barça. He is well adapted to the team and the city. I do not believe that this transfer will be a reality”.

Leicester Stars Must Stay For "One Year More" - Ranieri

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has asked his Premier League title winners to “stay one year more”.

The Foxes completed one of sport’s greatest shocks when they won the league with a squad costing £57m.

Winger Riyad Mahrez, striker Jamie Vardy and midfielder N’Golo Kante are among the previously unheralded players to be linked with moves away.

“I’m very, very confident,” Ranieri said. “Don’t go. If you go another team, you might not get on the pitch.”

The Italian, who only replaced Nigel Pearson as manager last summer, was given a standing ovation by journalists as he came into his news conference for Saturday’s home game with Everton.

“From the beginning I felt something special,” he said. “Never could I imagine this, but it’s good. We work so hard.”

He laughed off suggestions that he could quit on a high this summer, and added he will not be signing global stars for next season’s Champions League campaign.

“I don’t want big names here. My lads are special. We have to bring some good players but they must have the same spirit.”

Algeria forward Mahrez, 25, won the PFA Player of the Year award after scoring 17 goals and 11 assists.

However, his agent Kamel Bengougam says it is “50/50 at the moment whether he stays or goes”.

“We have interest from the UK and overseas,” he added.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez, who takes his side to Leicester on Saturday at 17:30 BST, thinks a shock winner of the Premier League is likely to be a one-off.

“What Leicester have achieved is a great inspiration for any team sport and for any group in order to dream high and have huge expectations but I think we need to be realistic that this is not the norm.

“It’s something we haven’t seen in the modern game and I don’t think that’s going to be repeated easily.”

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew, whose side face Manchester United in the FA Cup final, said: “Leicester won it after 36 games. Last year for 10 games they were in the best form. For nearly 50 games they’ve been best in the country.

“It’s proof the underdog can do it. And it will give us a boost for the cup final.

“Leicester have shattered the glass ceiling, and I thought it was impossible to break. They’ve gone and done it. Amazing.

“Football isn’t all logic. It’s almost like some stardust has fallen on Leicester – great for them. Let’s hope it falls on us for the final.”

Opera star joins the party

Opera star Andrea Bocelli will perform at King Power Stadium before Saturday’s game.

Ranieri revealed the 57-year-old – who has sold more than 80 million records – called him and offered to perform two months ago.

“He was so happy about what we were doing in Leicester. He said: ‘I would like to come and sing something’. I said: ‘Great, why not?’,” said Ranieri.

“I gave all the information to the club and they made all the arrangements. It is great for all the community.”

Bikes To Be Scanned For "Mechanical Doping" At Tour De France And Olympics

Bikes will be tested at the Tour de France and Olympics to try to find hidden motors and stop ‘mechanical doping’, cycling’s governing body says.

The UCI says up to 12,000 bikes will be tested this year using a new scanning system introduced in January.

Belgium’s Femke van den Driessche was banned for six years last month in the first proven case of mechanical doping.

“If you use this method of cheating, we will catch you,” UCI president Brian Cookson said.

The UCI believes that its new system of magnetic resonance scanning, which detects motors, magnets and batteries, is more effective than using heat-seeking cameras.

UCI technical manager Mark Barfield says riders who switch bikes mid-race could be targeted.

Demonstrating its testing technology on Tuesday, the UCI says the one hidden motor found – in Van den Driessche’s bike at the Cyclo-cross World Championships in Belgium in January – was at the first event where magnetic resonance scans were used.

Van den Driessche, the former European Under-23 champion, has denied suggestions she deliberately cheated, saying the bike was not hers.

UCI regulations, which were recently strengthened, state a rider is given a minimum suspension of six months and a fine of up to 200,000 Swiss francs (£141,000) for an offence of “technological fraud”, while coaches, mechanics and other officials could also be sanctioned.

He said the game will be a tough one though as Kotoko will come in very determined not to lose, but, after 90 minutes, Hearts should be able to make their home advantage count and press on for the win.

Hearts will be seeking their sixth win of the season in Monday’s game, and, victory will take them top of the standing after leaders Wa All Stars lost at Tarkwa to Medeama SC on Sunday.

Accra Hearts of Oak international goalkeeper, Soulama Abdoulaye has lauded the players for the recent league victory over AshGold and is yearning for another against his former club Kumasi Asante Kotoko.

The Phobians will host the Porcupines of Monday, 2 May at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium in Accra in the top-liner of the Match-Day 10 fixtures of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) and the Burkinabe international has lauded the fighting spirit of the team.

PSG Back Blanc For Next Season

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi reassured coach Laurent Blanc that will remain in charge of the French champions next season.

PSG remain on track for another domestic treble after triumphing in Saturday’s Coupe de la Ligue final but Blanc’s future still remains uncertain, despite another Ligue 1 title and a new contract only signed in February.

Jose Mourinho has been linked with a move to the French capital after Blanc was unable to prevent a fourth consecutive quarter-final exit in the Champions League.

However, Al-Khelaifi insisted Blanc, 50, is going nowhere.

“The contract was extended for two years, he will stay with us next year,” he said following the 2-1 win over Lille in Paris.

PSG Win French League Cup For Third Year In A Row

Angel di Maria scored the decisive goal as 10-man Paris St-Germain beat Lille to win France’s Coupe de la Ligue for the third year running.

Javier Pastore’s volley gave Laurent Blanc’s side a half-time lead, as Lille appealed for offside.

Djibril Sidibe equalised with a free-kick, before PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot was sent off.

Di Maria rolled in the winner as keeper Vincent Enyeama inexplicably charged 30 yards from goal to meet the winger.

Victory means that PSG remain on course for a clean sweep of domestic trophies, having won the Trophees des Champions and Ligue 1, and with the Coupe de France final against Marseille to come on 21 May.

Manager Blanc’s future, though, remains uncertain because of his failure to take the club beyond the quarter-finals of this season’s Champions League, where they were defeated by Manchester City.

Di Maria shot weakly at Enyeama in the opening seconds of an entertaining final at the Stade de France, with Lille looking the more dangerous side after surviving a difficult opening 10 minutes.

Frederic Antonetti’s team had won six successive games going into the final, but went behind to a controversial goal five minutes before before half-time.

Pastore lashed a shot at goal as Lille struggled to clear a corner, with PSG full-back Layvin Kurzawa standing in an offside position inside the six-yard box as the ball flew into the net.

The officials ruled that Kurzawa was not active because he did not move towards the ball, but Enyeama believed that he was effectively prevented from diving to save the shot because the PSG man was in the way.

Lille responded positively, though, with Sidibe directing a free-kick into the corner of the net four minutes into the second half after Adrien Rabiot had been booked for fouling Sofiane Boufal.

Rabiot picked up a second booking, and was dismissed, for a late challenge on Boufal with 20 minutes left.

Lille, though, gave away a soft goal four minutes later, as Adama Soumaoro’s weak back header allowed Di Maria to sprint on to goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu’s clearance, and the Argentian international nicked the ball past the onrushing Enyeama.

Soumaoro headed wide with a good chance to bring Lille level again, but PSG held on.

Nadal To Play Nishikori For Ninth Barcelona Title

One week after completing his ninth title run at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, Rafael Nadal will vie for a ninth crown at another happy hunting ground.

The top seeded Spaniard will look to dethrone two-time defending champion Kei Nishikori on Sunday after downing Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-3, 6-3 in the semis of the Barcelona Open.

Bidding for an unprecedented ninth victory on home soil, he is hoping to lift his first trophy in three years, adding to crowns in 2005-’09 and 2011-’13 at the Real Club Tenis Barcelona-1899.

“Tomorrow I will play against one of the world’s best players and it will be complicated,” said Nadal. “I have to play a great match to win the final.”

Nadal had his entire shotmaking arsenal on display against Kohlschreiber, firing 18 winners and claiming 80 per cent of first serve points. He denied his lone break point faced, while capitalising on three of eight on the German’s serve.

Nadal broke for a 4-2 lead in the first set when a Kohlschreiber forehand clipped the tape and sailed long. The Spaniard continued to apply the pressure in the second, and after failing to convert on three break points in the fifth game, he took his fourth chance for 4-3 and another to seal the victory two games later.

He struck a deep return at Kohlschreiber’s feet and a backhand winner to the open court to emerge victorious on his first match point after one hour and 32 minutes.

The World No. 5 advanced to his 101st tour-level final, where he will look to continue his winning ways against Nishikori. Nadal owns an 8-1 advantage in their FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry, with their lone final encounter also coming on Spanish soil, in Madrid two years ago.

Should Nadal prevail on Sunday, he would earn a record-tying 49th career clay-court crown, pulling level with Guillermo Vilas.

Revealed: Hearts Cancel Match-Day Tickets To Staff

Sportscrusader.com source has exclusively revealed that Accra Hearts of Oak has cancelled match day tickets for staff of the club without any reasons.

Employees who work at the Club’s Secretariat were given match day tickets to watch Hearts home games for free at the Accra Sports Stadium; an initiative the club adopted  when the team were in a poor form during the 2014/15 season.

But in an interesting turn of events the management of the Rainbow club has decided to cancel match day tickets to staff in a season that started impressively well until their recent slump in form.

 

The source said, “match day tickets has now been cancelled to us the workers here. We are not given complimentary cards to come watch our matches. We are told to use our money in buying tickets for matches forgetting we have not been paid for months now”.

Yahaya Mohammed, First To Register Hat Trick For Aduana Stars

Since their entry into the Ghanaian top-flight league in the 2009/10 season, no player from Aduana Stars has ever managed to score a hat trick in a game until last Wednesday.

In their Ghana Premier League (GPL) game with Sekondi Hasaacas at the Nana Agyemang Badu II Park, Dormaa Yahaya Mohammed broke that jinx in their 4-0 win over the visitors.

Players like Bernard Dong Bortey, Alex Asamoah among others came close to claiming that record, but only scored a brace on a couple of occasions.

Mohammed claimed that piece of history against the leagues weakest defence as Aduana Stars romped to their biggest win so far this season.

He began his classy display in the 7th minute before scoring a second and third in the 48th and 50th minutes for the first hat trick of his career. Bright Adjei sealed victory for the home side with a 60th minute penalty.

And Mohammed said there is more in store for fans of the club insisting that Aduana Stars will rise to the challenge as the season wore on.

“We have only played eight matches in the league and there are 22 more games to play,” he said, adding that they will climb up the ladder and challenge for the title.

I promise to score more goals for the club as the games come, and, I believe by the time the season ends, we will be countered as among the clubs challenging for the title.

Aduana Stars as ninth on the GPL table with 10 points, seven behind the leaders Wa All Stars, and, will next play Medeama SC also at Dormaa in the GPL on Sunday.

WAFA Aim For First Ever Win Over Hearts

West Africa Football Academy (WAFA) will be seeking a first ever win over Accra Hearts of Oak when they take on the Phobians in a Ghana Premier League (GPL) Match-Day Eight encounter at the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra this afternoon (Wednesday).

Since joining the Ghanaian top-flight in 2004, WAFA formerly Feyenoord Academy, they have encountered the Phobians eight times in the league, but, have yet to taste victory over the capital club.

Hearts of Oak have won six of those encounters with the other two ending in a stalemate. WAFA will therefore hope to break that jinx in this afternoon’s game.

However, this season, the Academy boys have lost all their away games by a similar result, 0-1 against Chelsea (Match-Day Two); Aduana Stars (Match-Day Four) and Dreams FC (Match-Day Six)

Beating Hearts will be a huge task as the Phobians have won two of their three home games and lost the other. They will hope to make it three wins out of four games on home soil.

Whether Hearts wins or WAFA claims a first ever win over the Phobians will be answered this afternoon at the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra.

Bellow is the head-to head record of the two teams

2004             Feyenoord 0 – 1 Hearts
