Italian League: Roma defeats Genoa by two

Motamed Gamal, the technical director of the first football team at Zamalek Club, decided to suspend Nasser Mansi, the team’s striker, from group training, and refer him for investigation.

The player had thrown his shirt on the ground after scoring the winning goal against the Rwandan army, at the latter’s stadium, in the first leg of the 32nd round of the African Champions League, which the technical staff considered an insult to the club.

The administrative body had previously punished the player with a fine on Friday after the match, with a heavy fine, the value of which was not disclosed, before the new penalty came with the player being suspended.

The player is scheduled to undergo investigation following the return of the Zamalek delegation from Rwanda, on Sunday, after playing against the Rwandan army in the African Champions League.

In the same context, Abdel Nasser Mohamed, director of football at Zamalek Club, is preparing to submit a memorandum to the club’s legal affairs regarding the incident, in preparation for starting investigation procedures with the player.

Zamalek officials are expected to decide Nasser Mansi’s position on returning to group training, according to the results of the investigation, which will determine the next step in dealing with the player.

English international Harry Kane, Bayern Munich striker, had a perfect night on an exceptional occasion at the German League level, after he contributed to a huge victory over Leipzig 6-1 on Saturday.

Kane scored a goal and assisted two goals for his teammates, continuing to achieve distinguished numbers, on the night of his 100th appearance at the Bundesliga level.

The former Tottenham Hotspur star scored 102 times in the Bayern shirt at the league level, while also making 28 goals, achieving distinguished numbers with the German giant.

Kane wrote on his “X” account: “What a win, a wonderful Saturday tonight, at the Allianz Arena.”

He added: "I am really proud to reach 100 matches in the German League."

International reports, including Sky Sports, recently reported that Kane had reached a preliminary agreement to extend his contract with Bayern until the summer of 2029.

Kane's contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of the current season, while the player appears close to signing a new contract that will prolong his association with the club with which he achieved the first titles of his professional career, by winning more than one championship, most notably the German League.

Liverpool coach Andoni Iraola stressed that his team's 2-1 victory over Brentford in the English Premier League was achieved with great difficulty.

Iraola said on the BBC after the match that took place on Saturday, saying: “Competing with Brentford in their stadium is like a battle. They are achieving good results on their home field.”

The Spanish coach added: “The first half was equal, and our chances were more dangerous, but we had 45 minutes to compensate for our delay in the result, and I think we performed well until we advanced 2/1, and then we played conservatively to preserve the victory.”

He pointed out that “we had many opportunities, and in the last minutes our counterattacks were with three players against one defender, and we had to exploit them better, and when the score is 2/1, every throw-in or free kick poses a great danger.”

Andoni Iraola touched on the pressure of matches, saying: “We previously talked about successive matches, and playing 4 matches within two days. It is a very difficult task.”

He added: “Alexander Isak has returned to us, but we lost the duo Dominik Soboslai and Jeremy Frimpong, and now we have to rest in preparation for an important match that awaits us in two days against Villarreal.”
