46 FRIDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER 2019 www.weekender.news Sport De Gea commits to United Neymar ban is reduced Summertime was special ENGLAND’S cricket captain Joe Root says coming from behind to draw the Ashes series rounded off a summer that has been a “huge success” for the national side and the game. It was certainly a season of thrills that will last long in the memory. A ‘super over’ victory in an amazing World Cup Final saw England lift their first 50 over World Cup in July. And though they did not regain the Ashes, Ben Stokes remarkable performance in the third Test, followed by a massive team effort at the Oval in the final game, ensured the series ended level. Root, who was also a member of the 50-over side, has repeated his desire to still be in charge when England fight to win back the urn on the tour of Australia in 2021-22. And he has declared she wants to be captain for the “long haul”. He said: “I’m desperate to take this team forward. Speaking after England’s Oval victory he said: “I’m in a very privileged position to be captain of the Test team and I’ll do everything I to can to get us very well prepared for going down there and hopefully doing something very special.” The Yorkshire batsman added: “What a summer of cricket it has been. It’s been phenomenal. “That World Cup was incredible, for it to finish how it did, made for fantastic viewing – not just the England games, but across the board. It was backed up by such an evenly matched Ashes series. We were blessed by brilliant support throughout and the cricket was pretty gripping. It was quite hard to be involved in at times, especially when we were on the wrong end of it. It has been a huge success for English cricket and a great opportunity to spring the game forward in this country.” NEYMAR’S three-game Champions League ban for insulting match officials has been cut to two by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The 27-year-old Paris St-Germain forward was slapped with the penalty after his side’s Champoions League exit at the hands of Manchester United in March. He called the award of a decisive 94thminute United penalty in the last-16 second leg-tie in the French capital “a disgrace”. The decision means that he will miss the games against Real Madrid and Galatasaray but can return to face Club Bruges on October 22. PSG took the case to the court after Uefa rejected their appeal against the ban. Neymar was injured with a broken metatarsal and missed both legs of the tie against United. However, after the 3-1 defeat he wrote on social media blasting the penalty decision, which was given after a lengthy VAR review. The player stormed: “It’s a disgrace. Four guys who know nothing about football watch a slow-motion replay in front of the television.” Countdown to the Rugby World Cup Rugby World Cup 2019: England, Wales, Ireland & Scotland poised for start • Hosts: JAPAN • Dates: 20 SEPTEMBER TO 2 NOVEMBER THE world's top rugby nations are poised for the start of the Rugby World Cup with the outcome as uncertain as any of the previous eight editions. New Zealand have won the past two World Cups, but Ireland are currently ranked as the best team in the world. A resurgent South Africa won the Rugby Championship earlier this year, while Wales took the Six Nations in March. England have won 10 of their last 14, while Australia's minimum target is a repeat of their 2015 run to the final. DAVID De Gea has signed a new long-term contract with Manchester United, keeping him at the club until at least June 2023. The 28-year-old Spanish goalkeeper arrived at Old Trafford in 2011 and has made 367 appearances for the Premier League side so far. During his time with the club, he has won the Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, the UEFA Europa League and the Community Shield. He said: “It has been a privilege to spend eight years at this great club and the opportunity to continue my career at Manchester United is a genuine honour. “Since I arrived here, I could never have imagined I would play over 350 games for this club. Now my future is fixed, all I want is to help this team achieve what I believe ENGLAND scrum-half Ben Youngs believes this Rugby World Cup is the chance to create “something special” after tasting bitter disappointment in the previous two tournaments. He is one of four survivors, along with centre Manu Tuilagi and forwards Dan Cole and Courtney Lawes, from the squad that travelled to New Zealand eight years ago. England went out in the quarter-finals in 2011 amid off-field controversies and then failed to get out of the group stages four years ago on home turf. Speaking to the BBC he said: “I think anyone wants to look back at the end of their career and feel proud of success – and the World Cup is always the pinnacle. “This opportunity here with this side is probably the best shot I have of being able to look back at a period of my career and say, yeah, that was something really special.” He added: “I’m proud of we can and win trophies again, together.” He added: “As one of the senior players in the squad, I want to support and lead in any way that I can to assist the younger players, so they know what it means to play here. I still feel that I have so much more to achieve at the club and I truly believe that Manchester United can build on the club’s tradition of success and reward our fans for their support.” United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “I am delighted that David has committed his long-term future to the club. “ Over recent years, David has proved himself to be the best in the world and a vital part of our plans as we look to take Manchester United back to where it belongs. “David is a fantastic person and his outstanding quality provides the perfect base to our defence.” Up for the challenge the fact I’ve been to two World Cups before – I’m proud of 2011 in that I was there, and in 2015 representing England at a home World Cup, which was an achievement in itself. “Every experience is different. They all teach you something. And the biggest experience from 2011 was making sure you stay focused on the pitch and deliver on that. “There were a lot of distractions going on in that tournament that didn’t help us to deliver. “World Cups are strange things, and I don’t have the magic formula – it’s sport, it happens. It happened to us. “I can sit here and say I’m determined it won’t happen again, but I can’t guarantee it. “But it’s what coming up that matters- about this group now under Eddie Jones. There are many guys who played in 2011 and 2015 who didn’t get another opportunity at a World Cup.”
