مشاكل الجنسية تمنع الريال من استغلال جوهرتيه
ونقل موقع صحيفة "إس" باللغة العربية عن الصحفي المشهور خوسي لويس سانشيز، قوله عبر حسابه الرسمي بموقع تويتر إن هناك 5 لاعبين في ريال مدريد لا يملكون جواز سفر أوروبي، وهم: (إيدير ميليتاو، فينيسيوس جونيور، فيدي فالفيردي، رودريغو جويس، تاكيفوسا كوبو) إذ يستطيع 3 فقط منهم اللعب في الفريق الأول هذا الموسم.
وأضاف سانشيز : "إذا حصل فيدي فالفيردي على جواز أوروبي قبل 2 سبتمبر، سيكون هناك مكان مُتاح يتنافس عليه كل من كوبو ورودريغو، إذ سيكون الأمر حينها بيد الفرنسي زين الدين زيدان مدرب الفريق، لكن إذا لم يحصل فالفيردي على جواز أوروبي قبل هذا الموعد، سيلعب كوبو وجويس في الفريق الثاني أو سيخرجون على سبيل الإعارة".
وعلق زين الدين زيدان على مستقبل كوبو، في المؤتمر الصحفي عقب مباراة فنربخشة، قائلاً: "جاء معنا عدة لاعبين من الفريق الثاني، وكوبو وصل للتو إلى مدريد، ومستقبله يتمثل في أنه لاعب مهم لهذا الفريق".
وأضاف قائلاً: "سنعود إلى مدريد وسنرى ماذا سيحدث، وسأتحدث معه، والفكرة تتمثل في مشاركة كوبو مع الكاستيا ومعنا بالإضافة إلى تدريبه معنا أيضًا، وهو لاعب لديه مستقبل واعد، خاصة أنه شاب مثل رودريغو وفينيسيوس ويجب المضي بهدوء معهم".
Zunino, Meadows homer, Rays beat Red Sox 9-4
BOSTON (AP) — Rookie left-hander Brendan McKay struck out seven, Mike Zunino and Austin Meadows homered, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Boston Red Sox 9-4 Thursday night to complete a three-game sweep.
It’s the second time Tampa Bay has swept a series of at least three games at Fenway Park. The Rays have won four straight and hold the AL’s final wild card by a half-game over Oakland. Boston fell 3 1/2 games behind Tampa Bay.
The Red Sox lost their fourth straight and fell 10 1/2 games behind the AL East-leading Yankees a week after taking three of four against New York in Boston. The suddenly reeling Red Sox limp into a four-game weekend series in the Bronx at 59-51, all but out of contention for a fourth straight AL East title.
Tommy Pham had two RBI singles and Jesús Aguilar singled and scored twice in his debut for the Rays, who picked him up from Milwaukee in a trade before Wednesday’s deadline. Eric Sogard also had two hits for the Rays.
McKay (2-1) got his second win in the majors, holding Boston to three runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Xander Bogaerts went 4 for 4 with two homers, and Mookie Betts also homered for the Red Sox.
Boston was 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position and left seven on base. Red Sox starter Andrew Cashner walked five while allowing seven runs in 5 2/3 innings, and Boston’s pitchers combined for eight walks and two wild pitches.
Cashner (10-6) had a 2-1 lead after Bogaerts’ two-run homer in the first but fell apart quickly in the second. He walked Aguilar to start the inning, Sogard followed with a single and Zunino drew another walk to load the bases. Cashner walked in one run, Tampa Bay added another on a passed ball and Pham hit an RBI double to put the Rays up 4-2.
Cashner ran into more trouble in the sixth when Aguilar singled with one out, Sogard doubled to right and Zunino drew a walk to load the bases. Darwinzon Hernández replaced Cashner and threw a wild pitch that allowed Sogard to score from third and another pitch in the dirt that led to another run and a 7-3 lead for the Rays.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rays: Optioned RHP Trevor Richards to Triple-A Durham. Manager Kevin Cash said the Rays want to build up Richards, acquired Wednesday in a trade with Miami, for longer appearances. … Optioned 1B Nate Lowe and RHP José De León to Durham to clear roster spots for Aguilar and RHP Nick Anderson.
Red Sox: C Christian Vázquez (sore right knee) was out of the lineup after taking a wild pitch off his right knee in the seventh inning Wednesday night.
UP NEXT
Rays: After a rare Friday night off, Tampa Bay hosts Miami in a two-game interleague series Saturday and Sunday. The Rays have yet to name a starter for Saturday against Marlins LHP Caleb Smith (7-4, 3.43 ERA).
Red Sox: LHP Eduardo Rodríguez (13-4, 4.13) gets the start Friday night in the opener of a four-game set against the first-place Yankees in New York. Rodríguez tied a career high for victories Saturday when the Red Sox beat the Yankees 9-5.
Cole extends win streak to 9 games, Astros beat Indians 7-1
CLEVELAND (AP) — Gerrit Cole pitched one-run ball over seven innings and extended his winning streak to a career-best nine games as the Houston Astros beat the Indians 7-1 on Thursday, spoiling the Cleveland debut of Yasiel Puig and the return of Danny Salazar.
Cole (13-5) gave up four hits, all in the first four innings, and struck out four for Houston, which has the best records in the American League at 70-40. The right-handed Cole leads the majors with 216 strikeouts and has not lost since May 22.
Alex Bregman, Michael Brantley and Yordan Alvarez drove in two runs apiece, while George Springer hit his MLB-leading eighth leadoff home run and scored three times. Bregman went 3 for 3 with a solo homer.
Puig doubled off the wall in the fourth and went 1 for 3 with a stolen base in his first game since being acquired from Cincinnati. Franmil Reyes, who came over from San Diego in the same three-team trade, had a single in four at-bats.
Both sluggers received warm ovations each time they batted and after being thrown out at home plate on different plays.
Salazar (0-1) allowed two runs in four innings in his first appearance in the majors since the 2017 AL Division Series. The former All-Star right-hander, who had surgery on his throwing shoulder last July, struck out two and topped out at 88.3 MPH in 66 pitches.
Puig grounded out with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth against Joe Smith. Puig was in the lineup after appealing a three-game suspension for his role in a wild brawl Tuesday between the Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates.
Indians manager Terry Francona missed the game after undergoing an eye operation earlier in the day. Bench coach Brad Mills filled in. A team spokesman said Francona is expected to be back Friday.
Houston’s Yuli Gurriel went 0 for 4 and had his hitting streak snapped at 18 games.
Houston’s Josh Reddick was ejected by home plate umpire Vic Carapazza for throwing his equipment after striking out to end the sixth inning.
COMING ATTRACTIONS
Astros manager A.J. Hinch has set the first starts for RHP Zack Greinke (Saturday against Seattle) and RHP Aaron Sanchez (Tuesday against Colorado). Former AL Cy Young Award winner Greinke was acquired from Arizona, while Sanchez and RHP Joe Biagini were dealt by Toronto. Each will report to Houston on Friday. “They all know what’s ahead of them,” Hinch said. “It’s nice to have a plan.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Astros: RHP Brad Peacock (right shoulder soreness) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock by working two innings either Saturday or Sunday. He reported no pain after throwing a bullpen session Wednesday in Cleveland.
Indians: RHP Dan Otero (right shoulder soreness) was shifted from the 10-day to the 60-day injured list when Cleveland acquired Puig and Reyes, but the team said it was strictly a procedural move. He has been sidelined since May 31.
UP NEXT
Astros: LHP Wade Miley (9-4, 3.06 ERA) takes on Mariners LHP Yusei Kikuchi (4-7, 5.21 ERA) in the opener of a three-game series at Minute Maid Park. Miley has gone eight starts without a loss, posting three wins and a 2.57 ERA since June 17.

Guerrero homers twice, powers Blue Jays past Orioles 11-2
BALTIMORE (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit two of his team’s five home runs to back a solid performance by fellow rookie Trent Thornton and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 11-2 Thursday night.
Randal Grichuk, Danny Jansen and Billy McKinney also had homered for the Blue Jays, who tied a season high with their fourth straight win. Guerrero’s homers included an impressive 450-foot shot off Dylan Tate in the eighth inning.
Toronto reinstated Thornton (4-7) from the 10-day injured list for elbow inflammation, and he allowed one run and five hits without a walk over six innings. His last two wins have come against the Orioles. Thornton threw six scoreless innings against them July 7.
Trey Mancini hit his 25th home run, a solo shot in the eighth off Toronto reliever Jason Adam, who was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo earlier in the day.
Guerrero gave the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead with a two-run shot in the third off Asher Wojciechowski (2-4). Guerrero is batting .416 (20 of 48) with five homers over his last 12 games.
The Orioles loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom half on two singles and a bunt. Thornton got out of the jam on a pop out and double play. Toronto took a 3-0 lead on a two-out, RBI single by Bo Bichette.
Grichuk hit a solo homer in the fifth that ended Wojciechowski’s night. The Orioles pulled within 4-1 later that inning on a fielder’s choice by Jonathan Villar.
Jansen hit a three-run shot and Guerrero picked up his third RBI with a double off Jimmy Yacabonis in the sixth.
ORIOLES STAY PAT
The rebuilding Orioles were expected to be active at the trade deadline. Instead, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias decided the best course of action was to keep the current roster intact, especially with key players under contract for next season.
“Our goal is to raise the talent level up and down the organization and that includes players who are on the major league team, and the trades that were available to us, I didn’t feel like they were going to do that,” Elias said. “I thought they might actually lower the talent level because these are guys we have under control.”
MOVES
The Blue Jays added OF Derek Fisher to their major league roster. Fisher was acquired from the Houston Astros ahead of Wednesday’s trade deadline for right-handed starter Aaron Sanchez, right-handed reliever Joe Biagini and minor league outfielder Cal Stevenson.
Orioles: INF José Rondón was added to the 25-man roster after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox on Wednesday. He popped out as a pinch hitter in the seventh.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Orioles: OF/DH Mark Trumbo is experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. He is hoping to return to the club in September when rosters expand.
UP NEXT
Blue Jays: Manager Charlie Montoyo hasn’t decided on a starter for the second game of the series.
Orioles: RHP Aaron Brooks (2-4, 5.46 ERA) allowed five runs and seven hits over five innings in his last start against the Angels. He has a 7.07 ERA in four appearances for Baltimore.
Cards reclaim first place in NL Central with Flaherty's one-hitter, 8-0 win over Cu
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jack Flaherty struck out nine in seven strong innings and Matt Wieters hit a three-run homer as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 8-0 Thursday in a matchup of NL Central leaders.
The Cardinals won two games in the three-game set and claimed first in the division, a game ahead of Chicago. The Cubs have lost four of six overall and 11 of their last 16 on the road.
Flaherty (5-6) allowed just one hit and walked two in recording his first win since May 14, a span of 79 days and 12 starts. The right-hander held the Cubs without a hit until newcomer Nicholas Castellanos singled to right with two out in the sixth. Flaherty retired 13 straight batters from the first to fifth innings.
Wieters capped off a four-run, sixth-inning outburst with a three-run homer off Derek Holland to give the Cardinals a 6-0 lead.
Jose Martinez, Kolten Wong, and Yairo Munoz had RBI singles for the Cardinals, who are coming off a 16-9 record in July.
Jon Lester (9-7) gave up five earned runs on nine hits over five-plus innings. He struck out six and did not walk a batter.
Wong and Paul DeJong had three hits apiece.
The home team has won 11 of 12 games between the teams this season.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cardinals: OF Marcell Ozuna, playing at Triple-A Memphis this week, is likely to join the Cardinals in Oakland on Saturday. He has been out with two broken fingers, suffered in late June. C Yadier Molina, out since July 11 with a right thumb strain, will begin a rehab stint in Memphis on Friday. He is still at least a week away from joining the Cardinals, according to manager Mike Shildt.
