Every morning, first thing in the morning, Eurosport.ro makes a short press review, to give you the most interesting and fresh information in sports.
1. Boloni, attack on PSG
Defeated by Lille at home (2-1 for the former champion), Metz’s technician, Ladislau Boloni, ranted at the end, being extremely unhappy with how PSG is handling Ligue 1 matches at the end of the season.
After drawing with Clermont, at home, 1-1, before the round with Barcelona, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Luis Enrique put in the reserves in this round as well, against Le Havre, score 3-3. Perfectly understandable thing, in the context in which the French champion will play the UCL semi-final round against Dortmund on Wednesday.
Those two results put Metz at a disadvantage, with Boloni’s side battling PSG’s two opponents to save themselves from relegation. After the failure of his own formation, on his own ground with Lille, 1-2, the Romanian technician came out to attack, condemning the formation from the capital of France for the way he treated these games.
“Do I have the right to talk about this?! Who has the right to talk about this?! Maybe it’s smarter if I don’t say anything, but if I don’t say anything, it means I’m saying a lot. This is the second time this has happened” Boloni said in the press conference after the Lille defeat.
The formation of the former Romanian coach dropped after this round to 16th place, which leads to the barrier for remaining in Ligue 1, but there is also the risk of direct relegation. Le Havre, who picked up a surprise point at the Parc des Princes, leapfrogged Metz in the table with a superior goal difference.
2. Goal scored for Alibec, but his team was relegated
Romanian striker Denis Alibec scored a goal for Muaither SC, which lost on Sunday and was relegated from Qatar’s first football league.
Al Arabi defeated Muaither SC with a score of 4-3, after Alibec had opened the scoring for the guests (13). Aymane El Hassouni (48) and Tiago Leonco (79) also scored for the visitors.
The hosts won dramatically with the goals scored by Omar Al Somah (22, 85), Moataz Bostami (77) and Fouad Saleh’s own goal (90+5).
Alibec ends the season with 5 goals scored in 21 games, plus 4 assists. He scored two more goals in the Qatar Cup.
Muaither SC occupied the last place (12th), with 14 points from 22 stages, four points behind Al Markhiya (11th place), which will support a barrier to avoid relegation. The title of champion was won by Al-Sadd.
3. Minaur Baia Mare missed the qualification in the EHF European Cup final
CS Minaur Baia Mare missed qualifying for the EHF European Cup men’s handball finals, after being defeated at home by the Icelandic team Valur Reykjavik, with a score of 30-24 (17-8), on Sunday, in the second leg of the semifinals. Valur had prevailed in the first round with a score of 36-28.
Minaur started the match very well and led 2-0, but then conceded four goals in a row and Valur had a nine-goal lead at halftime, 17-8. The team from Baimăran reduced the gap in the second half, but they could not get even a positive result.
For the hosts, Tudor Botea scored 5 goals, Robert Nagy 4, Anderson Da Silva Mollino 4, Artem Kozakevici 3, Lucas Alexandru Sabou 3, Stevan Vujovic 2, Ovidiu Ionuţ Ardelean 2, Viorel Fotache 1. Anton Terehov had 6 interventions (25% ), and Barna Buzogany saved a shot (7.69%).
The islanders’ goals were scored by Andri Finnsson 9, Benedikt Gunnar Oskarsson 4, Vignir Stefansson 3, Tjorvi Tyr Gislaslon 3, Agnar Jonsson 3, Aron Palsson 2, Magnus Oli Magnusson 2, Bjoergvin Pall Gustavsson (goalkeeper) 1, Isak Gustafsson 1, Allan Nordberg 1, Alexander Pettersson 1. Goalkeeper Bjoergvin Pall Gustavsson finished with 6 saves (20%).
The match was refereed by the Croats Ante Mikelic and Petar Paradina, and the EHF delegate was the Hungarian Ferenc Bonifert.
In the quarters, Valur beat CSA Steaua, after 36-35 in Chiajna and 36-30 in Reykjavik.
