da aviator aposta： O Flamengo não terá só a altitude de2.734 metros como fator intimidador para o jogo desta terça-feira, diante da LDU, a partir das 21h30, e válido pela terceira rodada do Grupo G da Libertadores. Para defender a sua liderança isolada, o Rubro-Negro terá que encarar uma equipe embalada pela invencibilidade na temporada: em 12 partidas, venceu cinco e empatou sete vezes.

da premier bet： Caso o placar seja o mais frequente para a Liga de Quito na temporada, um empate, o Flamengo se mantém na liderança. Já se os comandados de Rogério Ceni forem derrotados, os dePablo Repetto assumirão o topo do grupo, já que a LDU está com quatro pontos, dois a menos em relação aos brasileiros.

Aliás, Repetto, desde 2017 na LDU, sublinhou o favoritismo do Fla ao projetar o próximo compromisso do único clube equatoriano campeão da Libertadores:

-Como uma equipe grande que somos, estamos prontos para pelear com um dos grandes candidatos a conquistar a Copa (Libertadores) nesta terça-feira.

A LDU vem de vitória na Libertadores. Na última rodada, contra o Vélez Sarsfield, cujo triunfo por 3 a 1 ocorreu após dois gols no segundo tempo,Pablo Repetto alterou o time do4-5-1 para o 3-5-2 depois do intervalo e viu o desempenho melhorar consideravelmente.

Para enfrentar o Flamengo, o técnico uruguaio não quis revelar se repetirá uma linha defensiva com cinco jogadores. A possibilidade, com prioridade para a saída veloz em contragolpes, é considerável.

RETROSPECTO E DESTAQUES

O palco do duelo desta terça será o Estádio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, conhecido como “Casa Blanca”, em Quito. Será apenas a segunda peleja entre as equipes no local, que não reserva boas lembranças para o Fla, derrotado para a LDU emabril de 2019, pela fase de grupos do torneio, por 2 a 1 – na ocasião, Bruno Henrique marcou para o time então comandado por Abel Braga.

Entre os destaques da Liga estão o volante Jordy Alcivar (que chegou a ser especulado no Internacional), o passador meia-atacante Billy Arce e o atacante Cristian Borja, ex-Flamengo e autor do gol da LDU na derrota por 3 a 1 diante do próprio Rubro-Negro, em 2019, no Maracanã – na história, as equipes só se enfrentaram nas duas vezes citadas acima, ambas há duas temporadas.

Em tempo: por falar em retrospecto, o mais recente do Fla em altitude não é nada animador: goleada sofrida para o Independente Del Valle, por 5 a 0, em 2020, quando Domènec Torrent ainda comandava a equipe. Alerta ligado para não sucumbir novamente às consequências traiçoeiras perto das nuvens.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have all the pieces in place to dominate yet again in the new campaign

How can Real Madrid actually improve? Los Blancos were the best team in Europe for most of last season, dominating Spain and securing an obligatory Champions League triumph with aplomb.

Well, they've done all of the right things to suggest that they could actually get better. In Kylian Mbappe, they finally got their man in the transfer market (albeit after years of waiting.) And even though a key player has retired, Los Blancos should have enough about them to run it back.

Should all else fail, they have arguably the best manager in the business to figure it all out. Be prepared for a growing pain or two, but this could be the best year in Madrid in a while.

  Mood around the Santiago Bernabeu

  It's excellent. Real Madrid were the best team in Europe last year – winning a Champions League and La Liga double – and appear to have improved. The arrival of Mbappe is massive for Los Blancos. There may be some growing pains, but he's still a top three player in the sport. He will bring goals in spades.

  Even without him, this is a young exciting core that will only get better. Federico Valverde had a quietly masterful season last year, while Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga continued to improve. If they take another stride, then Real could be special.

  Carlo Ancelotti is the perfect man at the helm in all of this. The Italian penned a new contract in the middle of last campaign, and seems set to be the ideal figurehead as this side continues to evolve. Prepare for yet another season of brash confidence from the most outspoken fanbase in football.

  Transfer business

  Well, they wrapped up the big one – at a great price, too. Mbappe's arrival was rather delayed by Paris Saint-Germain's deep pockets, but it might just all be worth it given Los Blancos didn't have to pay a penny for him. He's supposedly on decent wages, too, and the signing bonus will raise some eyebrows (not just Ancelotti's).

  But it hasn't all been smooth sailing. Real have reportedly shown interest in other targets – without much success. They joined half of Europe in the Leny Yoro sweepstakes before the centre-back chose Manchester United, proving unable to grant the teenager the playing time he wanted at a big club.

  Talk about full-back acquisitions has also gone quiet. A Trent Alexander-Arnold move fell apart before it gathered any real momentum. Alphonso Davies' presumptive arrival is also in doubt – with Los Blancos likely having to wait 12 months before they can lure the Canadian to the Bernabeu.

  Similarly, there remains interest in River Plate youngster Franco Mastantuono, but Madrid might not be too inclined to spend big on a player who won't have much of an impact this season.

  Still, Mbappe's acquisition alone makes this summer nothing less than an overwhelming success in terms of incomings.

  Joselu's has left the Bernabeu after he became a one-season cult hero, while stalwart Nacho has departed at the end of his contract, and Kroos, of course, has retired. Meanwhile, young centre-back Rafa Marin, 22, has been sold to Napoli.

  Pre-season performances

  If there are any concerns about this Madrid team – and there are admittedly few – they can be derived from what was an undeniably poor pre-season campaign.

  Ancelotti gave all of his big names a month off, and Los Blancos' backups struggled as a result. Losses to Milan and Barcelona proved as points of annoyance, while there can't be much to take from a win over an admittedly miserable Chelsea side.

  It wasn't the best slate for Real's backups, who struggled to find form. Brahim Diaz could have used the month-long tour of America to play his way into the picture, but failed to impress. Meanwhile, a 38-year-old Luka Modric certainly looked his age.

  Perhaps most concerningly, though, was the poor form of Endrick. There will undoubtedly be massive pressure on the 18-year-old,€60 million (£50.7m/$65.2m) million price tag and all. He didn't really seize the moment this summer, failing to find the net off the back of a poor Copa America campaign.

  Then again, the Super Cup showing against Atalanta…

  Talking tactics

  Can anyone ever really doubt Ancelotti? There are a lot of questions to be asked here: how can you fit Vinicius and Mbappe into the same team? What will happen to Bellingham as a result? Does Rodrygo get any minutes?

  Effectively, the manager has too many forwards, and not enough spots for them. The sexiest setup is a Vinicius-Mbappe-Rodrygo triumvirate, with Bellingham operating as an advanced midfielder.

  That could work, but might lack the kind of defensive solidity that Ancelotti values. It was an interesting experiment against Atalanta – and ultimately it worked – but it remains to be seen how effective that is on bigger European nights. In those situations, Rodrygo might be left out, Bellingham plays as a No.10/false nine of sorts, with a workmanlike midfield keeping everything tidy.

  And should it fail to pan out at first, Ancelotti will have few problems configuring a more reliable XI.

Chelsea are thought to be in the race to sign a new £50m+ striker, with Todd Boehly and co already registering an interest in his services.

Chelsea striker rumours

The Blues were quiet during the January transfer window, failing to make a marquee signing, with the focus at Stamford Bridge being on departures. It comes after Mauricio Pochettino admitted last month that the club would look into their attacking options after an injury to Christopher Nkunku.

"It's true that now in the next few days, we are going to see the situation. That's why I told you that I am a little worried”, said Pochettino.

"All of these situations make our job a little more difficult. I told you before that it is an exciting project but situations like this make it more difficult to change the situation and grow at a different pace."

Four forwards were offered to Chelsea as short-term solutions, including AZ Alkmaar’s Vangelis Pavlidis, Zenit St Petersburg’s Mateo Cassierra, Cercle Brugge’s Kevin Denkey and Atletico Mineiro’s Paulinho, whereas former Real Madrid star Karim Benzema was also linked.

However, attention will now be on the summer window, and it has been claimed that Napoli star Victor Osimhen has already chosen to join Chelsea. The Blues will know that a deal isn’t done until all the paperwork is signed, though, and it looks as if they have their eye on another striker plying his trade in Europe.

Chelsea make Jonathan David contact

According to Football Transfers in the last 48 hours, Lille forward Jonathan David has been gaining more interest in recent months. They report that Brentford are looking at the Canada international to replace Ivan Toney.

The Ligue 1 side could demand up to €60m (£51m) for David’s services, and it is added that Chelsea, Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Manchester United, have also registered their interest over a potential deal.

David, labelled an “absolutely massive” player for Lille by Zach Lowy, moved to France from KAA Gent back in 2020 and has gone from strength to strength for his current employers. The 24-year-old can play as a centre-forward or second striker and has seen his Transfermarkt valuation double since joining Lille.

This isn’t the first time he’s been linked with a move to Chelsea, with David saying last year after rumours of a move to Stamford Bridge under Graham Potter:

“It's flattering when you are praised but personally I don't know him. The Premier League is one of the biggest leagues in the world, let's see what the future holds.

“I want to score as many goals as possible, not necessarily 20. If I can go much higher, I'll do that. But I take it game by game.”

As we know, Chelsea currently have Nicolas Jackson as their only senior striker option until the end of the season, so another marquee attacker appears to correctly be the priority in the summer, and by the looks of things, David is a player to keep an eye on ahead of the summer.

Lamine Yamal has revealed how he convinced his parents to back his dream of football stardom at Barcelona instead of studying for a degree.

Yamal planned on studying for degreeRealised he wasn't 'cut out' for itUpset his mother by giving up on schoolFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Yamal was famously studying for his school exams after he had already established himself as a first-team regular at Barcelona and a star for Spain, even finding out his results during La Roja's journey to Euro 2024 success. The 18-year-old had initially planned on taking on a university course alongside his playing career, but opted to focus on his performances.

AdvertisementadidasWHAT YAMAL SAID

Speaking on Jose Ramon de la Morena’s podcast, the 18-year-old confessed: "One day I called my mom and said: 'Mom, I'm going to go to school, but I'm not going to do anything. I'm going to get ready for training this afternoon.' And she replied: 'What have you taken?' I said: 'If I focus, I'll be a soccer player.' She yelled at me every day, but she finally understood. I don't recommend this to anyone, but it was my dream, and I achieved it.

"I would have liked to study a degree, but I'm not cut out for it. I told my parents: 'If you depend on me for work, we're screwed. But if I become a footballer, don't worry, because I'm going to be a footballer.'"

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Barca wonderkid also opened up about his difficult upbringing and life-changing journey to football stardom, revealing the sacrifices he made as a child and the important role his mother played in keeping him grounded.

"I came from an apartment where the kitchen and bedroom were in the same place," he said. "I see my mother happy, I see that my brother can have the childhood I would have wanted, and that's what makes me happiest.

"For me, [my mother is] my queen; she's what I love most."

His new fame has made some things in life difficult, though, as he added: "It’s changed my life in every way. Before, I could do whatever I wanted: I could go out for drinks with my friends, but now I can’t. I remember the preseason this summer in Korea, Japan, China – it was impossible to go anywhere… but I’m happy."

AFPWHAT NEXT?

With the possibility of becoming one of the youngest-ever Ballon d’Or winners, Yamal’s focus remains on football, but his story is also about the broader meaning of success and ensuring a better life for his loved ones. Barcelona, meanwhile, must manage both his footballing development and the immense external pressures that come with being a teenage global superstar, and the continuing of-field noise around him. Barca is set to face Valencia on Sept 14.

Tottenham could hijack a club's £32 million forward signing late in the January window, amid claims they also want Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.

Spurs linked with late forward signing

In the last two weeks, Spurs have been sporadically linked with signing another forward after completing a deal to bring in Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig.

Indeed, media reports have refused to rule out the possibility of Tottenham bringing in yet another attacking option for manager Ange Postecoglou. Journalist Graeme Bailey, for example, suggested recently that Spurs could still be interested in signing Jota from Al-Ittihad, amid claims West Ham are pushing for the Portuguese.

Meanwhile, some surprise news emerged this week that Tottenham are weighing up a late move for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.

The Englishman is apparently now a target for chairman Daniel Levy and the Lilywhites recruitment team, coming amid his incredible campaign at the Vitality Stadium. Solanke has netted 12 goals in 20 Premier League appearances so far this season, enticing Tottenham's interest as they consider heirs to club-record goalscorer Harry Kane.

There is also the small matter of the Club Brugge sensation Antonio Nusa and his ongoing transfer saga, with Brentford previously ousting Spurs talks to sign the 18-year-old and agreeing a deal.

The north Londoners had been in negotations to bring in Nusa on a buy-to-loan-back deal, similar to how they first signed the likes of Destiny Udogie and Pape Matar Sarr, who have since gone on to become first team stars.

In some better news for Spurs, though, Nusa is widely rumoured to have failed his medical with the Bees – which has now re-opened the door for Levy and co to ressurrect a move.

Now, a report from Het Laatste Nieuws (via Sport Witness) has shared a further glimmer of hope for Postecoglou.

Tottenham could hijack Brentford's £32m Nusa deal

Indeed, the news outlet claims Tottenham could make late hijack attempt for Nusa and "really want him" still.

Brentford and Brugge have agreed on the sum of £32 million, plus 12.5 per cent of any future profit and a loan back till the end of 2023/2024 – so Spurs will also need to green-light those terms.

Tottenham are apparently "lurking" in the background for Nusa, though one major thing not in their favour is the 18-year-old's desire to join Brentford.

Called "fantastic" by Arsenal star Martin Odegaard, the tricky winger has a growing reputation, and it will be interesting to see just how much Spurs do in fact wish to sign him.

Despite some initial positivity stemming from an impressive pre-season campaign and the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea fans have had to endure another miserable season of false dawns and poor performances.

The Blues are on a three-game winning streak across all competitions but find themselves tenth in the Premier League and closer to the relegation zone than top spot.

One of the most significant problems at Stamford Bridge is the side's inability to finish chances, so fans should be excited about the latest player touted for a move to west London: Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

All confirmed Premier League done deals: January transfer window 2024

With the January transfer window coming towards its conclusion, FFC has all the info for tracking your club’s winter transfer activity.

ByLuke Randall Feb 1, 2024 Chelsea transfer news – Victor Osimhen

According to reports in Italy, via Football Transfers, Chelsea have made the Nigerian superstar their number-one transfer target for 2024, and they are entirely unfazed by the new contract he signed at the end of 2023.

In fact, the report has revealed that the Blues view the €120m (£103m) release clause in Osimhen's latest contract as an invitation from the Serie A champions to launch a bid with Todd Boehly and Co readying a 'big summer assault'.

While it would be another outlandishly expensive transfer for the west Londoners, it might just be worth it to sign a goal-scoring "machine" and "Naploli's heart and soul", as dubbed by journalist Mina Rzouki.

Additionally, the prospect of seeing Osimhen and Cole Palmer in the same team should be all the convincing that Chelsea needs to once again dip into their seemingly endless piles of cash.

How Victor Osimhen and Cole Palmer could play together

In a season that has been generally quite miserable for the Chelsea faithful, there has been at least one undeniably positive development: the signing of former Manchester City youngster Palmer.

The 21-year-old has already scored eight goals and provided four assists in 12 Premier League starts, and if his teammates were more clinical, he'd have a lot more of the latter by now.

The Blues' primary striker this season has been Nicolas Jackson, and while the Senegalese international has looked good at times, and has racked up seven league goals already, he would have scored many more if his finishing was up to par.

The same problem exists with the Blues' backup striker, Armado Broja, as the Albanian has looked good at points, but hasn't delivered in front of goal, netting twice all term.

The poor finishing of the Chelsea pair is painfully apparent during games and even harder to ignore when comparing their underlying numbers to Osimhen's.

For example, Jackson generates a higher non-penalty expected goals figure than Osimhen – almost double, in fact – and yet when it comes to the number of non-penalty goals they score per 90, the 6 foot 1 Napoli star comes out ahead.

Now imagine it was the "natural talent" of Osimhen, as described by U23 scout Antonio Mango, getting on the end of Palmer's crosses, and not Jackson – the former City prospect could end the season with close to 20 assists.

Ultimately, it would be a massive investment from Chelsea to sign the Nigerian forward, but the partnership he could build with Palmer is surely reason enough for them to go for it.

Chhattisgarh had one more win than Mumbai in the league stage, which ensured their progress

Saurabh Somani in Alur21-Oct-2019No result

The inequities of a rain-affected knockout match were brought to the fore as Chhattisgarh’s quarter-final against Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019-20 was washed out on Monday.Chhattisgarh had finished the league stage with five wins to Mumbai’s four, and with number of wins in the league stage being the first deciding criterion in the event of a washout, they found themselves in a first-ever semi-final. Their defeat of Mumbai in the league stage, when they chased down 318, proved to be pivotal.Excellent bowling by Mumbai, who ensured captain Shreyas Iyer’s decision to bowl first was vindicated, meant Chhattisgarh had plodded to 190 for 6 with just 4.2 overs remaining. A sharp downpour meant lunch was taken early and Mumbai’s innings was shortened to 40 overs, with the target set at 192 via the VJD method.Teenage wunderkind Yashasvi Jaiswal then showed how good the surface at the Alur II stadium was – coupled with how outrageously gifted he himself is – as Mumbai clattered 95 without loss in 11.3 overs before the skies opened up once again. Unlike the previous downpour, this one was of much greater intensity, and though it lasted barely over half hour, the ground was soggy, wet and in no condition to complete the 8.3 overs that remained to count as a result.The first stoppage in play had lasted 88 minutes, but hadn’t affected the game’s direction. When Mumbai came out to bat, they were expected to do so on a pitch made a bit spicy by moisture – the umpires waited a good ten minutes before calling for the covers even as a drizzle intensified during Chhattisgarh’s innings – but someone forgot to tell Jaiswal that.The 17-year-old who came into this game having hit three centuries in his last four innings, with his most recent knock being a monumental 203, looked on course to make yet another three-figure score. He showed respect for neither age, nor bowler, carting Chhattisgarh’s bowlers for five fours and as many sixes. Three of those sixes resulted in stoppages of play because the ball had gone over the boundary of the stadium. Ironically, Jaiswal’s big-hitting actually meant a few valuable minutes lost while new balls were sought, though of course it was not a serious enough delay to make Mumbai wonder if their opener should have just held back a wee bit and sent the ball merely over the rope.Jaiswals’s opening partner Aditya Tare was progressing niftily at a run-a-ball, but his 31* looked positively snail-like against Jaiswal’s 38-ball 60.Defending champions Mumbai looked primed to saunter into the semi-finals and set up a rematch with Karnataka, but it was not to be.Earlier, Dhawal Kulkarni had led the way with the ball, returning a first spell of 6-4-3-1, with Shardul Thakur not too far behind with his 6-2-13-1. Chhattisgarh’s early loss of wickets and nip off the deck meant they went into extreme caution mode, and the scoreboard read 16 for 2 in 12 overs. That run-rate of 1.33 was still an improvement from being 10 for 2 in 11 overs.Captain Harpreet Singh was still there though, and he showed the value of biding time on the surface. He found a good ally in Amandeep Khare, as the duo added 135 runs in 143 balls for the fourth wicket, lifting Chhattisgarh from a sorry 40 for 3 in the 19th over.Harpreet had been on 9 off 46 balls at one stage, but accelerated gradually, before exploding in the 39th over, bowled by left-arm spinner Shams Mulani. The second, fourth and sixth balls all disappeared over the ropes, in the arc between long-on and deep midwicket, as he moved from 57 to 75 in five balls.Just when Chhattisgarh seemed to have found their finishing gear though, he fell for 83 off 108 balls. Another mini-collapse followed, as Chhattisgarh went from 175 for 3 to 181 for 6, even as Khare held fort on a patient half-century. Taking that clutch of wickets just before rain meant Mumbai had to chase relatively fewer than they could have otherwise, though 192 in 40 overs still felt generous to Chhattisgarh. Eventually, the rain gods proved most generous.

COMEÇO FORTE

A primeira chegada ofensiva do time de Santa Catarina já rendeu o grito de gol por parte dos anfitriões em boa trama com Denner acessando a linha de fundo e cruzando rasteiro na direção de Anselmo Ramon. O artilheiro da equipe na competição girou batendo de maneira que o goleiro Rafael Santos pulou na bola, mas não alcançou.

O marcador poderia ter ficado ainda mais dilatado na bola cruzada com precisão por Mike do lado direito, onde Denner ficou em plenas condições de finalizar contra a meta sergipana. Contudo, o responsável pela assistência do primeiro tento acertou o travessão.

BATEU DESÂNIMO?

Logo depois do América-MG não apenas abrir o marcador como também ampliar sua vantagem diante do Avaí, o ritmo do desempenho da Chape sofreu uma queda significativa em espaço onde o Dragão cresceu de desempenho e chegou a ameaçar o gol de João Ricardo ainda na etapa inicial.

Assim, logo no começo do tempo complementar, Reis infiltrou-se na grande área da Chapecoense, aproveitou o cruzamento de Altemar vindo pelo lado esquerdo e testou com força, sem chance de defesa para João Ricardo.

VIRADA ‘A LA CHAPE’

Já na reta final do confronto, o compromisso que parecia encaminhado para o término melancólico se tornou uma virada com o contorno de superação que marca a história da Chapecoense. Depois de bola cruzada, Perotti entrou de carrinho para marcar o tento da virada catarinense onde apenas um tento daria o título para a equipe de Umberto Louzer diante do marcador de 2 a 1 do América-MG.

Nos acréscimos, a penalidade sofrida por Bruno Silva colocou a responsabilidade nos pés de quem sempre marcou na temporada, Anselmo Ramon. O resultado? Uma cavadinha que desconcertou Rafael Santos e colocou a primeira estrela nacional no escudo do clube.

Sunderland journalist James Copley has now revealed some big news ahead of their League One play-off final against Wycombe Wanderers next week.

The Lowdown: One game away

After knocking out Sheffield Wednesday over two legs in the play-off semi-final, Alex Neil knows that his team are only one game away from Championship football.

Beating Wycombe will be an uphill battle though, as they knocked out third-placed MK Dons, and of course were promoted themselves a couple of years ago, with much of the squad who know what it takes still in tact.

The Latest: VAR considered

Taking to Twitter, Copley of The Sunderland Echo has revealed that goal-line technology will be used at Wembley Stadium for the clash, and VAR is ‘under consideration’:

“Goal-line tech to be used during Sunderland-Wycombe at Wembley. Understand no decision on VAR yet but it is under consideration.”

A final decision on the use of VAR is set to be made later this week.

The Verdict: Use it

Yes, VAR has not been used for the entirety of the League One season, but this is too huge an occasion to sacrifice accuracy for consistency – there is no reason not to make use of it.

It has been suggested that the clubs competing in the Championship play-offs would welcome the use of VAR, and so this should trickle down to both League One and League Two.

Nonetheless, the technology is simply there to help the referees get the right decisions, and with so much at stake, they should be given every tool possible to do so.

He will continue to be available for domestic cricket as well as the Mzansi Super League

ESPNcricinfo staff08-Aug-2019Hashim Amla has retired from all international cricket. He will continue to play domestic cricket, and is also available for the upcoming Mzansi Super League 2019.Amla’s decision to step from the international game marks the end of a career that lasted nearly 15 years, with his Test debut having come in November 2004, in India. He made his ODI and T20I debuts in 2008 and 2009 respectively, and he made his last appearance for South Africa at the recent World Cup.He bid goodbye to the international stage with an unbeaten 80 in South Africa’s nine-wicket win against Sri Lanka, but he had an underwhelming World Cup otherwise with 203 runs overall in seven innings. Nevertheless, Amla leaves several South African limited-overs records in his wake. His 27 ODI hundreds are the most by a South African, and 24 of those came in victories. He was also the fastest batsman to 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 and 7,000 runs in ODI cricket. He ended his ODI career with 8,113 runs at an average of 49.46, with 39 half-centuries to go with his 27 tons.His Test successes were even more illustrious, with Amla amassing 9,282 runs at 46.64 with 28 centuries. He was the first South African to score a triple hundred in Test cricket, and finished as his country’s second-highest run-scorer in the format, second only to Jacques Kallis.Amla also has the highest Test scores for his country against England, India and the West Indies, and the highest against Australia in the post-unity period. Further highlights include his making 490 runs while being dismissed only once in the two-match Test series in India in 2010, scoring centuries in both innings of the second match to follow his unbeaten double century in the first.Two years later, he earned Man of the Series honours in both the Test and ODI series in England. His innings of 196 against Australia at Perth in December 2012 won him the Man of the Match award and was an important contribution to the Proteas’ series-winning performance, as well as helping Amla to become the No. 1 ranked batsman in the world in Test cricket in 2013.During a brief spell as captain he led the Proteas to a rare Test series win in Sri Lanka, and was named SA Cricketer of the Year in 2010, and again in 2013. While his last Test match saw him score 0 and 32 as South Africa lost 2-0 to Sri Lanka at home in February, and poor form had taken a little of the gloss off his numbers over a difficult final year in Test cricket, Amla leaves the international arena with his reputation for being the classiest, calmest man on the field intact.”Firstly, all Glory and thanks to the Almighty for granting me this Proteas journey which has been nothing but a joy and privilege,” Amla said in a statement announcing his international retirement on Thursday. “I learnt many lessons during this incredible ride, made many friends and most importantly shared in the love of a brotherhood called #proteafire.”I would like to thank my parents for their prayers, love and support, it is their shadow over me that enabled me to play for years under the Protea sun. Also, my family, friends and agent, my team mates and every member of the support staff throughout this incredible journey. A heartfelt thank you to every one of you!”The fans for energizing me when times were tough, and for celebrating with me when we succeeded together. Siyabonga South Africa!”And, of course, a very special thanks to the President and the Board at Cricket South Africa – not forgetting the Chief Executive, Mr Thabang Moroe, and his administrative team. I really appreciate all the opportunities and am truly grateful.”Love and peace.”
