Ugarte and Heath have been linked for months, since eagle-eyed fans spotted that the social media influencer had taken a photo in a room resembling one that served as a backdrop to a picture of the United midfielder. Now, the Uruguay international has posted a loved-up photo on Instagram, confirming that the pair are together.

Heath has previously been linked with Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe, as the pair were spotted having dinner together in Greece, when the striker still played for PSG. Neither of the pair ever confirmed the relationship, however, and it appears she has firmly moved on from that rendezvous.
DID YOU KNOW?
Ugarte and Mbappe were team-mates at PSG but the midfielder has struggled somewhat at United. He has made 29 appearances for the club but was on the losing side in the Europa League final as the club limped to a 15th-placed finish.

Ugarte will have to tear himself away from his new partner soon, as United face Leeds in a pre-season friendly on July 19.
Manchester City have now made contact over a deal for an “extraordinary” Real Madrid player, and an opening offer of £17m is in the works, according to reports.
City planning summer rebuild
Pep Guardiola has been tasked with replacing legendary Man City players in the past, and the manager has largely been successful, with Erling Haaland’s exploits since coming in to replace Sergio Agüero a shining example.
However, finding an heir for Kevin De Bruyne this summer may be the manager’s most difficult task yet, with the 33-year-old set to end his ten-year stint at the Etihad Stadium at the end of the campaign.
Not only is the manager tasked with replacing De Bruyne, but he may have to enter the market for a new right-back, given that Kyle Walker was shipped out on loan to AC Milan back in January.

City are looking to strengthen their defence this summer, and they now have a new target in mind.
ByDominic Lund Apr 16, 2025
Walker’s time in Manchester could be coming to an end, and the same applies to long-serving goalkeeper Ederson, with the Sky Blues actively looking for replacements, and they have held talks over a deal for FC Porto’s Diogo Costa.
According to a report from Spain, Man City have also made contact over a deal for Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin (via Sport Witness), who could be on the move this summer, given that first-team opportunities have been limited this season.
Real Madrid'sAndriyLunin
City are keen on bringing in a goalkeeper comfortable in possession of the ball, and Lunin fits the bill, meaning they have approached the Ukrainian’s entourage, and a report from elsewhere has stated a €20m (£17m) offer is being prepared.
Bayern Munich are also interested in signing the 26-year-old, so there could be competition for his signature, but the report indicates the goalkeeper could be keen on a move to the Premier League.
"Extraordinary" Lunin impressing in Europe
Displacing Thibaut Courtois in the starting XI is always going to be a difficult task, but the 6 foot 3 colossus has impressed when given the opportunity, most notably making eight appearances en-route to Madrid’s Champions League triumph last season.
The Ukraine international was particularly impressive at the Etihad Stadium in the second leg of the quarter-final, achieving a 9.7 SofaScore rating after making six saves from inside the box to keep Guardiola’s side at bay.
The towering goalkeeper was also lauded as “extraordinary” CBS Sports’ Nico Canot, and his performances for Madrid indicate he deserves to be a regular starter for a top club, rather than playing second fiddle to Courtois.
As such, Lunin could be a fantastic signing for City this summer, and it is exciting news they are now making moves to secure his signature, although it will be sad if Ederson leaves the club, given the major role the Brazilian has played in Guardiola’s success.
da betobet： Arsenal hold a serious belief that they’ve now signed a “world-class” player for Mikel Arteta ahead of next season, and they’re behaving like it is a done deal behind-the-scenes.
Arsenal's main transfer plans for this summer

A host of incomings across multiple areas of the squad are anticipated ahead of what is expected to be a busy debut window for Berta, with GiveMeSport recently reporting that £300 million could be spent on seven major signings.
As per GMS, Arsenal are believed to be prioritising a new second-choice goalkeeper to replace Neto, a full-back, new midfielder, left-winger, right-winger and striker. Kieran Tierney is off to Celtic, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is expected to be sold after falling down Arteta’s pecking order.

While Thomas Partey is in talks to extend his Arsenal contract, Jorginho remains likely to depart when his contract expires, meaning the addition of a centre-midfielder is still pretty imperative before 2025/2026.
Meanwhile, Leandro Trossard’s long-term future is uncertain, as his contract expires in 2026, with Arsenal arguably in need of another winger who can provide Arteta with a quality alternative to the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz’s long-term injuries have also emphasised the need for Arsenal to finally sign a prolific striker, so there is plenty to do for Berta. Indeed, Arteta confirmed last week that he wants Arsenal to bring more strength and depth into the squad, sending a subtle message to his director.
“Squad quality and availability. Without those two, we cannot compete in four competitions,” said Arteta on his Arsenal transfer wish.
“At this level, especially in this country, it’s impossible. The higher the quality, the higher the availability, the more chances, probability you have. After you have to do it. But the probability goes high.”
Arsenal "internally" behaving like Martin Zubimendi deal is "done"
One top target for Arsenal, as per multiple reports, is Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.
They’ve been in negotiations over the Spain international’s acquisition for quite some time, with The Mail first reporting advanced pre-summer talks in January. Since then, the consensus has been that Arsenal are confident they can sign Zubimendi before June, while Marca journalist Juan Castro reported this week that an agreement appears to be struck already.
Now, the reliable David Ornstein has somewhat backed up Castro’s claim, stating that Arsenal are “internally” behaving like Zubimendi is a “done deal”.
This interesting update from a very credible source should fill supporters with confidence, as the feeling within N5 appears to be that it is inevitable the 26-year-old will finally make his long-awaited move to England, just a year after he publicly rejected Liverpool’s advances.
Called a “world-class” player by Tierney, during their time together at Sociedad, Zubimendi has been likened to Balon d’Or winner Rodri and played a key role for Spain in their Euro 2024 final triumph against England.
The La Liga mainstay is indispensable for his boyhood club, but it appears he’ll soon be waving goodbye if all goes to plan.
da apostaganha： Desde o início da temporada, o Botafogo convive com um paradoxo que irrita a torcida. Por um lado, Luís Castro tem a manutenção da espinha dorsal do trabalho de 2022. No entanto, o primeiro trimestre da equipe deixou a desejar, sobretudo quando mediu forças com os principais rivais, ficando de fora das semifinais do Carioca. A meta era estrear bem no Brasileirão para recuperar a confiança também para a Sul-Americana.
+ Confira e simule a tabela do Campeonato Brasileiro
Para triunfar sobre o São Paulo, era necessário encontrar o equilíbrio e quebrar um jejum de onze anos sem vencer em estreias na competição nacional. Somado a isso, o time tinha dois aliados importantes para o restante da temporada. O retorno ao Nilton Santos, que passou por reforma com a troca para o gramado sintético, e a presença da torcida.

da fezbet： Sem Marçal, Luís Castro optou por escalar Rafael e viu o Alvinegro ter os melhores dez primeiros minutos do ano. Com intensidade e volume de jogo, a equipe entendeu que a bola aérea era o caminho, e Eduardo a colocou na cabeça de Tiquinho Soares para abrir o placar. Parecia que a grama sintética ajudaria o estilo de jogo em velocidade e que o Alvinegro construiria uma boa vantagem no primeiro tempo.
+ ATUAÇÕES: Tiquinho e Eduardo marcam e Lucas Perri fecha o gol em triunfo do Botafogo pelo Brasileirão
Entretanto, a partir disso, o Glorioso voltou a oscilar e teve dificuldade em oferecer perigo. Com a bola nos pés, o time produzia pouco e só era efetivo quando recuperava o domínio e partia para o contra-ataque. Foram dois momentos completamente distintos dentro dos primeiros quarenta e cinco minutos. Indo da intensidade à apatia mesmo tendo a vantagem no placar.
Diante da queda de rendimento, a defesa do Botafogo voltou a falhar, e Calleri aproveitou. Para o segundo tempo, o português teria que fazer mudanças para encontrar o equilíbrio e perceber o ponto fraco do adversário. O lado direito do São Paulo era o mais frágil, com Rafinha dando espaço para Júnior Santos se infiltrar. Mas somente no etapa final o atacante finalizou com perigo, assim como Luís Henrique, que entrou na volta do intervalo no lugar de Gustavo Sauer, apagado no jogo, e explorou os lados do campo
Outro grande nome da partida foi Lucas Perri. O goleiro, mais uma vez, mostrou que irá brigar pela posição mesmo com a volta de Gatito Fernández. Duas defesas seguras que impediram uma possível virada do adversário e deixaram o Alvinegro vivo no jogo. Ao longo do ano, o arqueiro tem dado demonstrações de estar no auge de sua forma física e ser um trunfo do time nos momentos mais difíceis.

Ao perceber o caminho das pedras, o português lançou Matías Segovia para dar velocidade e incomodar. Mas foi novamente pelo alto que os donos da casa se destacaram e sacramentaram o triunfo. Víctor Cuesta achou Eduardo na área para, de cabeça, recolocar o time carioca na frente e trazer os três pontos em uma estreia de Brasileirão. Algo que não acontecia há onze anos, contra o mesmo adversário.
O triunfo é importante para dar confiança ao grupo que disputa três competições e sonha em alçar voos maiores no segundo ano de SAF. Luís Castro terá que trabalhar as oscilações e fazer com que a equipe tenha a mesma intensidade dos dez primeiros minutos, sobretudo em casa. Ao contrário da temporada passada, o foco é utilizar o Nilton Santos como alçapão e mostrar força diante da torcida não só com bom desempenho, como também com resultados.

“You don’t want to play with my colleagues and you want to play with me? It means I’m putting my colleagues down as well”
Nagraj Gollapudi16-Apr-2024Rashid Khan is “hurt” by Cricket Australia’s decision recently to indefinitely postpone Australia’s scheduled three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. In response, Rashid, who is currently playing for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024, will reconsider participating in the 2025 edition of the BBL.The T20I series, a part of the ICC’s future tours programme, was scheduled for August at a neutral venue, but CA said in January that it was postponing the engagement after consultations with the Australian government because of “a marked deterioration in human rights for women and girls” in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.”It does hurt you,” Rashid told ESPNcricinfo on Tuesday in Ahmedabad, where Titans will play their next IPL 2024 game, against Delhi Capitals, on Wednesday. “You do want to play against the best teams and that’s where your cricket is going to improve more and more. You only get the opportunity playing against them [Australia] in the World Cups, but not in bilateral series.”Related
ACB to CS: Don't succumb to 'external pressures and political influences'
Rashid, who will lead Afghanistan at the 2024 T20 World Cup in June, said that playing against top-ranked teams would be hugely beneficial for the growth of his team. As an example, Rashid cited the three-match T20I series Afghanistan played this January against India, which they lost 3-0.”Recently, we played three T20s against India, and it helped us a lot,” he said. “We nearly chased 200 [212] against India. Imagine if you wouldn’t have played that, where would the confidence come from? Playing against big teams is huge for us.”This was the third time CA had chosen not to honour a bilateral engagement with Afghanistan: in 2021, what would have been the first Test match between the two teams, was postponed, and then, in 2023, an ODI series was called off.”As a player you can’t do much about it,” he said. “It’s the issue of governments to resolve. But what hurts me the most is when things like that happens, why it is hurting cricket [in Afghanistan]?”If something is [in the hands of the] governments, why is hurting cricket? Why it comes to cricket? Can cricket solve those issues? I think if cricket is solving those issues, then it’s fine, then I’m happy with it.”Rashid stressed that cricket was a “source of happiness” for Afghanistan, and that was something Australia needed to understand.”Cricket is the only source back home in Afghanistan which give people happiness,” he said. “And if you are taking that happiness [away] from the people as well, you are hurting more people as well back home. And that is something which I feel like is more hurting as a captain where you are so excited as a youngster playing against Australia and then this thing just happens.”Rashid Khan and the other Adelaide Strikers’ players high-five fans•Kelly Barnes/Getty Images
Rashid on BBL: ‘Nothing is bigger than my country’
Last year, Rashid had threatened to withdraw from the BBL, but changed his mind and entered the BBL draft, before missing the tournament because he had to undergo a back surgery. Rashid said that CA’s latest move had again forced him to reassess his stance on participating in the BBL, where he has represented Adelaide Strikes since 2016-17.”Lots of things come in the mind,” he said. “Like, if you don’t want to play against my team, then why you want me to play in your country? Because I’m not allowed then in your country as well to play cricket.”You don’t want to play with my colleagues and you want to play with me? So what’s the difference? It means I’m putting my colleagues down as well. My country down as well. So if I’m playing there, if money in these things comes, nothing is bigger than my country. Money will just go and come. That’s not the point.”If they play with us and we play against them, that’s the only way we can play there as well. That’s the only solution for this problem to be solved.”

WHAT HAPPENED
Antoine Griezmann has reached out to NBA superstar LeBron James with an invitation to attend Atlético Madrid's FIFA Club World Cup matches in the United States this summer. The French international, a well-known basketball enthusiast, expressed hope that James might attend one of Atlético's three group stage matches at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
“Well, maybe,” Griezmann said in an interview with Sports Illustrated about the Club World Cup. “We’re playing two games in Los Angeles, at the Rose Bowl. He might come; he’s certainly invited, and we’d like to welcome him to one of our training sessions. Why not?”

WHAT ANTOINE GRIEZMANN SAID
Griezmann spoke about his love for American sports but asserted that he’ll in Los Angeles to play in the CWC and his focus is solely on that, and helping Atletico Madrid do their best.
“Yes, I’ve been to Los Angeles once or twice. As you know, I’m a big fan of the NBA and the NFL, I’m new to baseball. So, for me, it’s going to be cool to be able to play there," he said. "That said, I’m not going there as a tourist, I really want to play, to win, and to do well. It’s about enjoying the occasion, and hopefully we can have a great tournament. And yes, to be honest, playing there is going to be nice.”
The 2018 World Cup winner further talked about the Club World Cup and admitted that he’s honored by the fact that Atletico Madrid was picked to play in the first iteration of the tournament.
“What excites me most about this FIFA Club World Cup is that it’ll be the first. So it’s an honor for me and the club to be a part of it. Ultimately, we’re looking forward to going to the United States and playing our first match, which will be against PSG,” he added.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup represents a major expansion of the tournament, with 32 clubs from around the world competing across the United States. Atlético Madrid's schedule presents a unique challenge, facing teams from three different confederations: Paris Saint-Germain (UEFA) on June 15 at the Rose Bowl, Seattle Sounders (CONCACAF) at Lumen Field on June 19, and Botafogo (CONMEBOL) back at the Rose Bowl on June 23.

WHAT’S NEXT?
Atlético Madrid will continue their preparations for the Club World Cup while completing their domestic season. The face Girona away from home in their final game of the regular season on May 24.
One of the major criticisms at Chelsea over the past several years has been the perceived over-focus on youth.
While the Blues have invested heavily, spending over £1billion on transfers since Clearlake arrived, there’s no doubting the need for a streamlined focus.
That said, while Chelsea do need established superstars to lead the line and between the sticks, a youthful crop, replete with talent, can be cherry-picked by head coach Enzo Maresca as he looks to bring it all together over the coming months and years.
There’s an up-and-coming talent in particular who will be eyeing first-team involvement sooner rather than later, but before we take a look at him, let’s visit Levi Colwill, whose campaign hasn’t quite gone to plan.
Levi Colwill's season in numbers
Colwill, 22, has been a central part of Chelsea’s senior set-up since the beginning of last season, having previously completed a promising loan spell with Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022/23.
Brighton wanted his services for good, with Liverpool also willing to table a bid before being rebuffed by Todd Boehly’s £100m demands. Though he’s got a lot about him, Colwill’s error-streaked campaign has cast a layer of doubt over his skillset.
Such concerns came to a head in a woeful effort at the AMEX last month.
Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville surprised the world in agreeing Colwill’s defending on the South Coast was damning, while Sky Sports’ Dougie Critchley chipped in to brand him “inexcusable” in seeking a foul when there was defending to be done. The Seagulls then scored.
Though Maresca’s fashioned him into a more structured central defender, Colwill has been less accurate in the duel while also making a catalogue of mistakes to detract from his progress.

With Wesley Fofana now returned from injury, Colwill’s struggles have indeed heightened. The England international knows he is a top-class talent with a high-quality passing game – ostensibly perfect for Maresca’s tactical style – but his defending leaves something to be desired.
While Chelsea may have overloaded their Cobham halls with rising prospects, there are inevitably a few who look destined for the very top, with Colwill no doubt looking over his shoulder at a defender offering certain shades of one David Luiz.
Chelsea's new defensive star
The hybrid defender can be a priceless thing in football. For those capable of moving into holding midfield positions, tactical innovators such as Maresca can adopt fluid styles depending on the situation. In other words, it promotes interchangeability.
Luiz embodied this, playing 248 times for Chelsea across two spells, lifting the Premier League, Champions League and the Europa League and FA Cup twice.
Though he’s principally a centre-back, the Brazilian, now 37, was often situated as the third man in a three-back defence that saw English football conquered under Antonio Conte. Moreover, he’s played 36 matches across his career as a recognised midfielder, emphasising his athleticism and ball-playing ability.
Well, Chelsea may just have their next version in another South American: the up-and-coming Aaron Anselmino.
Signed from Boca Juniors last summer for about £15m (see him above celebrating a goal with Edinson Cavani) Anselmino has penned a seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge and arrives having been labelled an “elite talent” by one football analyst on X (Twitter).
The 19-year-old was permitted to remain in his homeland after Chelsea completed his signing to further his development ahead of the big leap toward Europe. However, he was recalled in January and has since been getting to grips with life in west London.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
Described as a “complete and dominant” defender by talent scout Jacek Kulig, the teenager carries that gritty combativeness that Luiz once showcased so well, actually praised for his “thoroughness” and “aggression” by former manager Laurent Blanc while at Paris Saint-Germain, when he knocked the Blues out of the Champions League before returning the following year.
Regarding Anselmino, the signs are promising. The Athletic’s Simon Johnson confirmed Chelsea opted to keep their rising talent at the club rather than loan him back out during the winter transfer window, with plenty of sides across the continent and in England keen on doing a deal.
Moreover, Johnson revealed the Argentina youth international has graduated to regular first-team training, but why is this?
Well, according to Sofascore’s data, the dynamic defender played 12 times in the Liga Profesional de Futbal – Argentina’s top flight – in 2024, impressing through his crispness, smoothness, and natural-born creative sense.
Not only did Anselmino complete 86% of his passes, create four big chances and register three assists, but he also averaged 2.2 tackles and three clearances while winning 4.4 duels per game, only picking up one yellow card.
It’s promising stuff, but the most compelling part of all has to be the centre-half’s success in avoiding a single error across his matches. Contrast that with Colwill, who has made four in the Premier League this term, and you can see why he might find a pathway to prominence under Maresca’s wing.
Chelsea defender Levi Colwill
The two-footer’s technical skill and dynamism, irregularly playing in midfield across his maiden years as a professional, has seen him skyrocket toward the forefront of the game. He’s not quite there yet, but all the pointers lead toward a successful future at Chelsea.
Should he leap over this final hurdle of youth, Anselmino may well replace Colwill as Maresca’s starting option alongside Fofana. It’s pleasing to see that Chelsea have such strength in depth, but it’s bad news for Colwill all the same.

Leeds United are in a promising position for promotion even despite Saturday’s draw with West Brom, but there is a collective realisation that squad surgery this summer could be required in a couple of positions.
Leeds held by West Brom but continue planning for promotion
Daniel Farke could only watch as his side were held in a somewhat frustrating Saturday lunch time encounter with West Brom, as they racked up 15 shots but only put two on target, settling for a point courtesy of Darnell Furlong cancelling out Junior Firpo’s opener.
Still, the German will be delighted with Leeds’ position in the hunt for a return to the Premier League, and there is plenty to be done in Yorkshire to ensure his squad possesses sufficient depth to handle the rigours of next season.
Irrespective of what league his side ply their trade in later down the line, the Whites have been linked with several statement moves for high-calibre stars that could revolutionise Farke’s project at Elland Road.
Recently, Leeds United’s interest in Celtic winger Nicolas Kuhn has become public knowledge. Capable of playing on either flank, the former Bayern Munich man has been an impressive force north of the border with 18 goals to his name this campaign.
Continuing the theme of exciting potential arrivals, AC Milan loanee Tammy Abraham is an ambitious target for the Whites after a spell at San Siro where he has struggled to fire with regularity.
His previous experience in the Premier League and homegrown status would appeal should promotion come to fruition. Over the last few years, the tale of new top-flight sides being unable to retain their place in the division has been all too common, so you need to be equipped for the challenge that may lie ahead.

Farke will be aware of this having experienced a similar fate at Norwich City, where he was dismissed with his side sitting adrift in the hunt for survival after 11 matches in 2021/22. Undoubtedly, he is keen to avoid a prospective repeat scenario, and Paul Robinson has urged the Leeds United boss to act in the market by securing the services of an England international.
Paul Robinson urges Leeds United to sign Aaron Ramsdale
Speaking to Football Insider, Paul Robinson has urged Leeds United to sign Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale this summer, with the outlet confirming the Whites leadership are “planning” to replace Illan Meslier with a new signing.
He explained: “The big one Leeds should look at is Aaron Ramsdale. If Leeds are in the Premier League next year, keen an eye on Aaron Ramsdale’s situation. You’ve got to admire his attitude, the way he’s gone to Southampton and played a lot of this season injured, playing in a team that’s struggled.

ByDan Emery Feb 28, 2025
“He’s not wanted to be part of a title-challenging team or Champions League side as a cup goalkeeper, he’s gone to Southampton to play week in, week out. I think he’s a top-class goalkeeper and would be a huge addition for Leeds. That’s going to be a key position for Leeds next year.”
Despite Southampton’s struggles in the Premier League, Ramsdale has made 86 saves this season and the former Arsenal man, who joined the Saints for £25 million, has also recorded a pass completion rate of 87% in his own half.
Keeping two clean sheets in 19 top-flight appearances, the England international looks primed for a new challenge to keep his hopes alive of featuring in the Three Lions’ World Cup squad in 2026. Leeds may be the ideal environment for him to keep developing, but they will likely need to secure promotion before the possibility can advance to becoming a feasible pursuit.
استرجع الحكم الدولي محمد عادل، كواليس أزمة التسريب الصوتي، خلال إدارته مباراة الزمالك والبنك الأهلي، في دوري الموسم الماضي.
وكانت المحادثة التي جرت بين محمد عادل، وحكم تقنية الـvar ميدو سلامة، قد تم نشرها على إحدى القنوات الفضائية، ما دفع الحكم الدولي للجوء للقضاء.
طالع| خاص | مفاجأة بشأن موقف محمد عادل من مطابقة صوته مع التسريب الصوتي
وكانت مباراة الزمالك والبنك الأهلي قد أثارت جدلًا واسعًا بسبب القرارات التحكيمية، وخاصة بعد انتشار تسريب صوتي منسوب لمحمد عادل حكم المباراة وميدو سلامة حكم الـvar.
وقال محمد عادل، في تصريحات لبرنامج ملعب أون سبورت على قناة أون سبورتس: “رئيس لجنة الحكام لم يطلبنا للخضوع لاختبارات اللياقة البدنية، لا يوجد سن للحكم، لكنه لم يستدعينا، ولذلك يمكن أن نُستدعى بعد ذلك”.
وتابع: “أنا ظللت 20 سنة ضابط شرطة، ولم أظهر بعد أزمة التسريبات وأخذت حقي بالقانون”.
وأضاف: “ما حدث عقب المباراة أن أحد العاملين بلجنة الحكام الرئيسية استولى على التسجيل وعرضه على أحد الإعلاميين الكبار لإذاعته، وهذا الإعلامي طرده وقال له أنا مش بتاع تسريبات، فذهب وعرضه على الاثنين المتهمين في القضية وأذاعاه (يقصد إبراهيم فايق وأحمد عبد الباسط)”.
وأكمل: “أثناء التحقيقات في النيابة العامة، المتهمان رفضا الإفصاح عن مصدرهما، والنيابة قررت تحويلهما للمحكمة، ولجأنا للإعلامي الذي عُرض عليه المقطع الصوتي في البداية وطرد الشخص الذي أتي بالتسجيل له، لكنه اعتذر بشياكة وأدب نظرًا لحساسية العلاقة بينه وبين أحد المتهمين”.
وواصل: “المحكمة أصدرت حكم أول درجة في 22 فبراير الماضي، وقالت في أسباب الحكم قيام المتهمين بإذاعة المقطع الصوتي وعدم إذاعته كاملًا وحذف جزء منه لتحقيق مشاهدات لحساباتهما، وتم تغريم كل واحد منهما مليون جنيه و50 ألف جنيه تعويضًا مدنيا”.
وكشف: “استئنفا على الحكم، وتم تخفيض الغرامة لـ 100 ألف جنيه، والمحكمة قالت إن المتهمين لم يأتيا بجديد لتغيير حكم المحكمة، والقضية انتهت”.
وأكمل: “أنا لم أكن متخيل هذا الأمر، من وقت ما خرجت من المباراة الصحفيين قالوا لي إن أحد أعضاء لجنة التحكيم أرسل لنا سكريبت إنه تم إيقافك، ويبدو أن الأمر كان مُدبرا من البداية، ما حدث لن يجعل أي أحد بعد ذلك يقوم بتسريب أي مقطع صوتي للفار”.
وأردف: “المنوط الأول بأن يطلب التحقيق في الأمر من البداية هو اتحاد الكرة، لكنه لم يحرك ساكنًا ولجنة الحكام الرئيسية لم تتحرك، إلا بعض الأصدقاء مثل سامي هلهل ومحمد صلاح عبد الفتاح، وثلاثة آخرين، غير ذلك لا يوجد شيء، والكابتن محمد فاروق صُدم مما حدث، ورحل بعد الواقعة”.
وكشف: “أرسلوا لنا في الاتحاد لجلسة استماع، أنا قلت لنفسي إن المحقق سيقول كيف تم تسريب المحادثة، لكني فوجئت أنه يقول لي إن الدنيا مقلوبة عشان أنا قلت الله يخربيتك يا ميدو، فكانت جلسة تحقيق أشبه بالكوميديا السوداء، فوجئت بأحد أعضاء اللجنة دخل وقال نحن سنعلن عبر الصفحة الرسمية للاتحاد من أجل الحفاظ على شكل التحكيم، قلت له لا أنا سأحول الأمر للنيابة العامة، والموضوع بالنسبة لي كان سينتهي لو كان المتهمين اعتذارا لي من البداية، لكن هذا لم يتم”.
وواصل: “أنا عدت بعد صدور حكم أول درجة، جهاد جريشة هو من طالبني بالعودة للتحكيم بالتزامن مع قدوم أوسكار رويز، والأخير رحب جدًا، وعدت بالفعل للمباريات، وحدثت واقعة في أول مباراة أدرتها بعد الأزمة في دوري المحترفين، وبعد المباراة أحد الناديين تقدم ضدي بشكوى رسمية”.
وكشف: “أوسكار رويز استدعاني لمناقشة الشكوى، فحصلت على شريط المباراة كاملًا وتناقشنا في الحالات وأثبت أن الشكوى كانت كيدية، واتضح أن النادي الذي تقدم بهذه الشكوى بدفع من أحد أعضاء لجنة الحكام”.
واختتم: “أوسكار رويز قال لي أنا أول مرة أرى فريقا فائزا ويقدم شكوى ضد الحكم، قلت له هل تعلم من السبب وراء ذلك، قال من قلت له هذا الشخص وأشرت له، وهذا الشخص مازال موجودًا في لجنة الحكام حتى الآن”.
