  • Turkish ship sinks following raid on Black Sea, two sailors killed

    A Turkish-owned cargo ship carrying grain from a Ukrainian port has been attacked by at least one threat in the Black Sea and then sunk after being engulfed by fire. Two crew members have lost their lives, while 11 others have been saved and one person is still missing.

    According to Romanian authorities, quoted by Euronews Romania, the incident occurred on Monday within Romania’s exclusive economic zone, about 20 miles from the coast, and approximately 9 nautical miles from the Pescüru gas platform, transmits Telegrafi.

    The ship was identified as the Turkish company MG Shipping 5, owned by Royad Mammadov while sailing under the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis. She had appeared about three hours before the attack by the Ukrainian port of Izzali, in the Odessa region, and was traveling toward Ravenna in Italy.

    Following explosions and fire on board, Romanian authorities conducted a wide rescue operation with ships and helicopters. 11 crew members were taken out alive, while another continues to be sought.

    Three sailors, aged 22 to 50, were transported by helicopter to the city hospital in Constanta. They had suffered numerous traumas, but they were stable and conscious.

    Adrian Mihalcioiu, head of Romania’s Union of Free Sailors, told Euronews Romania that, given the information he received, the ship was attacked with air and sead fears.

    He described Royad Mammadov as a merchant ship that had nothing to do with war.

    Romanian authorities have not yet officially identified the author of the attack. However, Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky blamed Russia, labeling the incident a horror attack.

    Zelensky said two Russian fears had hit a civilian ship carrying corn in neutral waters. According to him, citizens of Azerbaijan and India were also on board.

    Ukraine has repeatedly proposed concrete steps for de-progressing the situation and ensuring security in the Black Sea. There have also been respective proposals from third countries, Zelensky wrote on the X platform.

    Russia constantly chooses terror and shipwreck instead of normal sea navigation. Pressure is needed to restore global food safety, he added.

    Turkey, a NATO member and owner of the ship, has repeatedly sought from all sides involved in the war to ensure sea transport security on the Black Sea, including navigation towards the Bosphorus Strait.

    The latest incident comes after a series of fearful incidents near Romanian ports in the Black Sea and Romania’s airspace violations due to Russian fears over recent months.

    In August, a fighter plane destroyed a maritime threat filled with explosives near the largest offshore gas project in Europe. Several hours earlier, another drone had entered Romanian airspace and collapsed near the Ukrainian border.

    Romanian President Nicuşor Dan then blamed Russia for the incident and condemned what he described as escalation of irresponsible genocides from Moscow.

    The attack on Royad Mammadov adds concerns about the safety of civilian ships and trade corridors on the Black Sea, one of the main routes for the export of Ukrainian wheat. /Telegraphy/

    Devova and Krasniqi leave behind their great names, Kosovo’s double at the helm of the League of Nations

    Lumbard Dellova and Ilir Krasniqi are shining in this edition of the League of Nations, with Kosovo’s two defenders registering the largest number of recovered cannons in the first four matches of the race.

    According to U statistics EFA, Dellova leads with 34 recovered balls, while immediately after that Ilir Krasniqi ranks with 33. Kosovo’s duo is thus located in the first two positions of this statistics, leaving behind some popular European football names.

    So, Dellova and Krasniqi have left behind in this statistics of experienced players at the highest European football levels.

    Weiga is a representative of Portugal and part of Vilarreal, Williams is one of Wales’ top defenders and Nottingham Forest, while Andersen is one of the important names of Denmark and Fulham.

    What makes the appearance of the Kosovo double even more significant is the continuation. Devova and Krasniqi have held all four matches in 90 minutes, completing 360 minutes of play in this edition of the League of Nations.

    Ilir Krasniqi

    Their presentations have been among Kosovo’s strongest points in this cycle.

    In total, the pair has recorded 67 recovered balls, showing not only endurance but also the enormous impact of the defensive phase. Devova and Krasniqi have been important in restoring ownership and in the stability of Kosovo’s defensive department.

    For Kosovo, this is another statistical that testifies to the individual growth of football players.

    Devova and Krasniqi, Kosovo’s strong pair

    The two Kosovo defenders at the head of a UN League ranking, prior to names like Renato Weiga, Neco Williams and Joachim Andersen, is undoubtedly one of the most interesting statistics in this cycle. /Telegraphy/

  • From tear gas to seven goals &#82/11; one evening between two worlds in Pristina

    From tear gas to seven goals &#82/11; one evening between two worlds in Pristina

    It wasn’t just a regular trip to a football match.

    From office to Youth Palace in Pristina are not more than minutes on foot, perhaps just over 500m. A distance so short, but that tonight seemed to divide two completely different worlds.

    To get to the hall, the road took me through Pristina’s square, where protests continued regarding the law that had been passed in the first reading and related to Kosovo’s Specialised Chambers. Smoke everywhere. Crowds. Tear gas. People with tears in their eyes, leaving the square. A severe atmosphere, where breathing became difficult for a few moments.

    Although the destination was just a few minutes away, the road seemed longer.

    When I finally arrived at the Palace of Youth, the effects of what was happening outside were still there. The eyes were red, the tears burst out, and the throat was irritated. But there were few steps inside the hall, and everything changed.

    Within three minutes, I was in another world.

    Over 300 football fans were there. The voices, the applause, the atmosphere, the ball running in the parks and the emotions of the game made the feel like nothing was going on outside.

    Like protests, smoke, and tear gas were in another town.

    But they weren’t.

    They were only about 500 yards away.

    Two parallel worlds, almost next to each other.

    And in this second world, that sport was expected a match much stronger than what was seen in the parks.

    FC Pristina 01 and FC Drenica are not just two teams facing the championship tonight. Last year, they played the grand play-off final for the champion title. Drenica then wrote the story, winning the champion title for the first time and ousting Pristina exactly 01 from the throne.

    The capitals had been champions three times in a row.

    Drenica interrupted that series.

    Hence, on paper, this match had all the elements to be a solid confrontation. He had the history of last season, had the rivalry, and he also had a champion team that sought to show that he had not forgotten the loss of that throne.

    But in the parks, the story was quite different.

    Pristina 01 controlled the match in almost every way.

    The capitals were more organised, more aggressive, clearer on the offensive shares and, above all, more efficient in front of the gate. Drenica failed to find her rhythm, and over minutes, the difference between the two teams only increased.

    Part one closed 3-1.

    Locals marked Jakup Ramadani and Ramadan Alaj, while Pristina 01 entered the holiday with an advantage promising a second and more interesting part.

    But what happened after the break was not a fight to return the fight.

    It was dominance.

    Drilon Maharray was one of the main protagonists this evening, marking three goals. Fitim Kranisqi added two others, while Ramadan Alaj also realised twice.

    Finally, the sign indicated what had happened in the parks:

    Pristina 01 ) Drenica 7-1.

    A profound result for a match that, starting with the history of last season, promised much more balance.

    But football and the philanthal also have this beauty. History can create expectation, rivalry can trigger a match, but in the end it will all be placed in parks.

    And tonight, Pristina 01 was evidently stronger.

    On one side of the city, several hundred yards away, people protested between smoke and tear gas.

    On the other hand, over 300 people celebrated their team’s goals.

    One world was filled with tension, noise, and tears.

    Next with goals, applause and sports excitement.

    And between them, just a few minutes walk.

    Only about 500 meters.

    Two completely different realities that existed in the same city for a few moments tonight. /Telegraphy/

  • When does Kosovo conduct future matches in the League of Nations, and what does it need for its second position?

    When does Kosovo conduct future matches in the League of Nations, and what does it need for its second position?

    Kosovo has held four out of the six Group-Scheduling Games in the League of Nations, while the New Yorkers now face two more confrontations that will be crucial to their final position in Group B3.

    After the first four matches, Kosovo ranks second with five points, as well as the Republic of Ireland. Austria is the leader of the eight-point group, while Israel is in the last place with two points.

    Kosovo began this edition with home victories over Ireland, triumphing 1-0 at Fadil Vokrri.

    Later, Franco Foda’s team was defeated 3-1 on a trip from Austria, while in the third match, held in Debrecen, it equalled with no goals against Israel.

    The 4th match, the Daardians, took her back home, where they took a point in front of Austria after the 1-1 draw.

    Thus, in the first four matches, Kosovo has won a victory, two drawbacks and a loss, collecting five points, two of these matches have been held at home, while two others on the journey.

    Last two matches

    Kosovo has two games left to complete the group phase. Initially, on November 14, therdians will receive Israel home, while three days later, on November 17, they will travel to confront the Republic of Ireland.

    These two games may determine which team will take second position in the group and will therefore continue its journey into the subsequent phase of the League of Nations.

    For Kosovo, the goal is clear: get as many points as possible on the last two confrontations. A victory over Israel would lead the team to eight points and would give a much better position before the last match in Dublin.

    If therdians managed to win both matches, they would close the 11-point group phase and ensure their second position.

    Even a win and a draw would take Kosovo to nine points, while in the event of a draw with Israel, the latest match against Ireland would take even more weight.

    Foda: We must win both matches

    The importance of the last two matches has also highlighted Kosovo’s selective Franco Foda, who has made it clear that the team’s goal is to take full scores.

    Next two games we have to win to secure our second position. Our players haven’t had many minutes on their teams. We need the best rhythm of the game, and for that we need players to play more in their teams, Foda has said.

    The German selector has also placed special emphasis on the players’ pace, as a part of Kosovo football players are not taking enough minutes with their clubs.

    For Foda, this is an issue that can affect the representative’s appearances.

    In this situation, the two November matches will be crucial. Kosovo will have the upper hand in facing Israel, while it will play on travel towards Ireland.

    Sort before the last two matches

    At the helm of the B3 Group is Austria with 8 points, followed by Kosovo with 5, while Ireland also scores 5 points, Israel is last with 2 points.

    Kosovo currently holds the second position, but the difference with Ireland is minimal. For this reason, the last two matches will be crucial to the dardians.

    With Israel at home and Ireland on the trip, Kosovo is clear on the challenges facing it in the last two matches.

    Two victories would ensure a favourable position in the race for second place, while any other outcome would keep the fight open for the position until the end of the group phase. /Telegraphy/

    Alvarez returns to the goal with Argentina, while its value drops to 10m euros

    Julian Alvarez has found the first goal of the season with Argentina fanele, marking the 7-0 victory over Burkina Fasos on 3 October.

    This goal gives Atletico Madrid’s attacker a significant boost after a difficult start of the season at the club level.

    The 26-year-old attacker has had little room in Diego Simeones’ formation in the first weeks of the season.

    Alvarez returns to the goal with Argentina, while its value drops to 10m euros

    In the first three games of La League, Alvarez gathered only 83 minutes, always being activated by the bench before a muscle overload left out the challenges to Real Sociedad and Ossawa.

    He returned to derbin to Real Madrid, but again started the match from the pancaina and activated for the last 30 minutes. Athletico triumphed 2-1, but the Argentinians failed to register goals or assistance.

    His situation in Madrid follows a turbulent summer during which Barcelona tried to transfer him.

    The Catalan club submitted a 100m-euro bid and intended to close the deal during July, but Atletico Madrid refused to negotiate the offensive’s departure.

    Even the club’s president, Miguel Angel Gil Marin, had declared that Atletico would not accept offers of 100, 150m or not 200m euros for Alvarez.

    Argentina’s contract with the Madrile Club by June 2030, while its release clause is 500m euros.

    During the summer, Alvarez had expressed a desire to get to Barcelona, but the transfer was not realised and he returned to Simeon’s project. Meanwhile, its market value has also suffered decline, from 120m euros to 110m euros, according to the latest update of Transfermark.

    This is another sign of a season’s beginning under expectation for the assailant, who in the first seven weeks of last season had scored six goals in La League.

    The goal of Burkina Faso can serve as a starting point for a return to Alvarez in his best form.

    Now, his objective is to carry this positive moment even to Atletico Madrid and win more minutes in Simeon’s formation. /Telegraphy/

    Willian discovered the background of Arsenal’s transfer: Arteta… sold me a dream.

    Willian discovered that he had thought to leave Arsenal just three months after joining the club, claiming that Michael Arteta had not fulfilled the promises she had made before the transfer.

    The former Brazilian football player has indicated that Arteta had promised a central role in the team and that the team would build around it.

    However, Willian says that he soon realized that reality was different from what he was told before moving.

    Willian discovered the background of Arsenal’s transfer: Arteta… sold me a dream.

    I have nothing against him. He’s a great coach inside the field and his ideas are excellent, but he’s missing some things about the way he manages the team.The Obi One PodcastOh.

    Brazil stressed that, according to him, Artetta lacked the human aspect of players management.

    The human party was missing. It’s important. Inside the field he’s good. I always joke that they sold me a dream, but it wasn’t a good dream, he said.

    Willian joined Arsenal in the summer of 2020, after leaving Chelsea, but his adventure in Émirates) lasted only one season.

    He held 37 presentations for the London club, marking only one goal before leaving with bilateral agreements in 2021.

    Three Kosovo nuts: Vojvoda, Devova and Krasniqi didn’t lose a minute in four matches

    Kosovo’s national completed the first four matches of the League of Nations, recording a victory (to Ireland), two draw (Austrica and Israel), as well as a defeat in Vienna against the Austrians.

    Therdians held solid presentations, considering that they held a full four-time match in just 14 days.

    In fact, the form of players was also widely observed because of busy hours. Initially, Kosovo developed a spectacular performance towards Ireland, but in the second match in Vienna, it was seen that the players had little decline in shape because of the energy spent to win the challenge in Pristina.

    Three Kosovo nuts: Vojvoda, Devova and Krasniqi didn’t lose a minute in four matches

    Thus, selective Franco Foda was also forced to make a full eight replacement in the goalless draw against Israel, firing the main players of the basic formation. The decision actually came true, with Kosovo later developing the next excellent presentation, which unfortunately took full scores of Austria at the Fadil Vokriı.

    However, of all the stars that ceased and watched the game from the bench or tribune, three did not. Exile Vojvoda, Lumbardd Devova and Ilir Krasniqi were undisputed in the German technonic formation, not losing a minute in four matches.

    Each developed over 360 minutes in general, leaving all the power in the field to best represent Kosovo.

    In fact, apart from participating, everyone played a big role in these achieved results, whereSofaScoreHe’s constantly rated them at 7.0, which is above average.

    Two games to find out where we’re going to be

    After these four rounds, Kosovo is in second position in the B3 Group of League B, three points less than Austria, which is now the favourite to be promoted directly to the A League, and equal to Ireland. Israel, among other things, has two sshes.

    Thus, Kosovo must also develop two November (to Israel and Ireland) confrontations to learn how this group will end, with the objective of being second place, which would provide us with a position in the second vase when the draw is drawn to APU0 2028.

    Except for the guaranteed position in the second vase, Kosovo would have another opportunity to promote in the A League, but it must face one of the third countries currently ranked, all depends on lots.

    Recall, Kosovo faces Israel on November 14th, and three days later it travels to Dublin, where it will meet with Ireland. /Telegraph/

  • Fred doesn’t hold on to Ten Hagg: They were all in a fight, they took Ronaldo off the launch formation.

    Fred doesn’t hold on to Ten Hagg: They were all in a fight, they took Ronaldo off the launch formation.

    Manchester United’s former colleague Fred has sharply criticised former coach Eric ten Hag, accusing him of poor management of the group and of conflicts with some of the team’s stars.

    Brazil spent five years at Manchester Unitedi, while during its period at the club it won the League Cup and reached the FA Cup final.

    Ten Hag was appointed Unitedi coach in 2022 after a successful period in Ajax, but his adventure in England did not go according to expectations, especially in the Premier League.

    Fred, who left United States to join Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023, has given an extremely severe assessment of the period under Dutch command.

    Ten Hag was very good, but in terms of management of the group, it was a piece of shit, Fred said in CHAharla Podcast.

    He was fighting with everyone. He had a fight with me, with Cristiano, with Cassemero, with Rasford… It didn’t activate me, and sometimes things got stressful.

    Fred doesn’t hold on to Ten Hagg: They were all in a fight, they took Ronaldo off the launch formation.

    With Ten Hag only playing his Dutch players. It was a coach who made clicks. But, eventually, it was one of the best trainers I’ve ever worked with.

    Fred also spoke of Ten Hagg’s relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the club at the end of 2022.

    He wanted the team to run a lot, but Cristiano was older. He got Cristiano off the title formation and then there was a crash between them.

    Ten Hag was dismissed by Manchester Unitedi in October 2024, when the team was in 14th place after seven matches. /Telegrafi/
