He felt that the crisis in Chelsea was on the verge of further damage. Luton’s striker Harry Cornick was vying to get his team back in the lead just before halftime, and Kenilworth Road shook. The pursuers of the promotion in the championship sniffed out the FA Cup disorder.

It is impossible to follow Chelsea right now, this week of all weeks, without being distracted by the bigger, more serious picture. In other words, the unraveling of Roman Abramovich’s property amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

There have been calls in parliament to sanction the oligarch, his move to try to hand over the Chelsea administration to their charity and, on the verge of starting here, confirmation that he intends to sell the club.

From a football standpoint, Chelsea are rocked by the loss of the final penalty for the Carabao Cup on Sunday from Liverpool, albeit after a decent performance, and now they were looking at disappointment against Luton.

They managed to reunite in the second half, a major relief among the emotions for Thomas Tuchel, not least as the two struggling strikers of the manager reversed the tie. After a tactical change to 3-5-2 that put them side by side, Timo Werner scored an equalizer with a fine touch and a finish. He then crossed low to the right for Romelu Lukaku to slide home the winner. Despite Luton’s battle, especially in the first half, Chelsea had too much.

Shortly after 6 pm, Abramovich released his statement on the planned sale. He will not want to withdraw his 1.5 billion pounds in loans, and the net proceeds from the change of ownership, he said, will be donated to a charity fund that will benefit the victims of the war in Ukraine. Abramovich’s name would be heard at various points by Chelsea fans. “You are uncomfortable,” the hosts replied.

The story unfolds quickly and, as at Wembley on Sunday, casts an inevitable shadow over the game. What is the point of everything, including football, when war tore apart a country?

Against the background of existential issues, Tuchel’s task was to direct Chelsea to the sixth quarter-final of the FA Cup in seven seasons, and as he made radical changes to his final line-up for the Carabao Cup, it was important that his opponent, Nathan Jones, did so. . kind of. For Luton’s manager, the Middlesbrough and Coventry Championship matches on Saturday and Tuesday, respectively, are crucial.

Luton started with fierce intensity – the players ate with the audience and vice versa – and were ahead two minutes later when Reese Burke reached Luke Berry’s corner in front of Malang Sar to send a loop with his head in the far corner. It felt like Chelsea were still trying to figure out who was who and where. Tuhel started with Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the middle of the back three, while Kennedy had Chelsea’s first start since January 2018.

Tuhel’s team is stabilizing. As they began to crawl forward, Saul sent a header straight at Harry Isted. What a night it was for the reserve goalkeeper. He had joined in instead of Jed Stear, who had twisted his ankle in a horrible way, only for his third appearance in Luton. The other two were in the Football League trophy.

When Saul scored an equalizer – his first goal for Chelsea – after a good job at Mason Mount without a break and a break from the ball by Werner, Chelsea reached out to the Jugler. They created a bunch of situations, the best of which was one on one for Saul, whom Isted saved. There was a Kennedy rocket that the porter overturned; Lukaku’s shot, which made a good save, and the moment Isted misjudged Antonio Rüdiger’s long ball and missed it.

Luton felt that Chelsea was vulnerable. Dan Potts squandered a chance with a header after rising high in the 26th minute while his team created problems with their direct running. They turned the tie upside down when Admiral Musque released Kornik behind Chelsea’s high line of defense. The attacker’s finish was marked by icy calm. He was apparently on the line despite Chelsea’s protests, as Sarr was late to leave.

Brick needed more than so many players. It was gloomy for Lukaku and Werner until the middle of the second half, but everything changed quickly after the tactical change of the manager.

Werner looked uncertain, his touch heavy. He had given the ball away terribly. But that came together for him when Loftus-Cheek, who excelled with the ball at those feet, especially when driving forward, played a long pass up into the inner left canal. This time Werner’s control was excellent and the finale, the body open to the side leg, was true. A moment later, Werner became a supplier and Lukaku was a grateful beneficiary. There was nothing left for Luton.

Tennis superstar Serena Williams has insulted the New York Times that she misused a photo of her sister in a report about herself.

“No matter how far we go, we are reminded that this is not enough,” tweeted Williams. “That’s why I raised $ 111 million for @serenaventures. To support founders who have been neglected by ingrained systems without knowing their biases. Because even I am neglected.

“You can do better, @nytimes,” she added.

Syracuse, New York – Jim Boheim has revealed that Syracuse has a plan for his eventual retirement and who will succeed him as basketball coach.

The topic of Boheim’s retirement reappeared after the loss of Syracuse to Duke 97-79 on Saturday, which turned out to be the last match for Mike Krzyzewski, the retired coach of Duke, who is also a close friend of Boheim.

On Wednesday, Boheim surprised Brent Ax, host of “On the Block” on ESPN Radio Syracuse, by calling at the beginning of the Ax show.

As he did on Saturday, Boheim said he would return as coach of the Oranges in the 2022-23 season.

Boheim, 77, in his 46th season as head coach, said he had told each of Syracuse’s five high school recruits in the 2022 recruiting class that he would be in Syracuse to coach them. next season. Boheim said his thoughts on coaching have not changed, even when Syracuse are battling to a 15-15 record this season.

“I think if I say I’m giving up now that I’ve given my word to these players, it will look like, ‘Oh, they had a bad year, so he’s just going to give up,'” Boheim said. “It simply came to our notice then. Maybe not to you. Maybe not someone else’s. But I would see that. “He has given his word to these players, he is healthy, he feels great, but they are having a bad year, so he will just give up.”

But then Boheim revealed the big news: that he has a plan for when he will retire as coach of Syracuse and how the succession will take place.

“I will not tell you or anyone when this will happen, (but) we have a plan in place,” Boheim said. “Good plan. Plan with iron. This is not my decision. I don’t name the coach, as people say all the time. I have not contributed to any (athletic director) who has ever been hired here, nor any AD associate who has ever been hired here, not even AD who watches basketball. I have never contributed to this. None.

“And that’s good. I’m not the athletic director. I am not the chancellor.

“But we have a plan,” he said. “Obviously we won’t let him go, because we don’t want everyone we are recruiting against to know what we’re going to do.”

When he was pressed, Boheim allowed himself to make some contribution to the process.

“I’m not saying I won’t say anything,” he said, “but it’s not 100 percent my decision and it should be.”

Ax asked Boheim if that meant he knew when he would retire.

“Yes,” Boheim said. “We have a plan. Yes.”

Did Boheim know when or how he would announce his decision? “I do not have a word about it. It depends on the school. “

Krzyzewski announced his decision to retire last summer. This allowed him to keep his word to Duke’s recruits. This also allowed Duke to name his successor, former Duke player and current assistant John Shyer.

“Everyone mentions Mike Krzyzewski,” Boheim said. “I know 100 coaches who have retired, 99 of them have retired after the season. Mike Krzyzewski is the only coach I know who retired before the season and was a coach. This is very unusual. It worked well for Duke. Duke is a little different from Syracuse, but it works well for Duke.

“But we have a plan.”

Boheim will not say whether the plan includes the choice of his successor.

“There is a plan,” he said. “I’m just telling you there is a plan.”

Boheim said the plan has been in place for some time. That’s why I said from the beginning (of the season) that I will train next year. “

Boheim said his mission was to pass on a successful, solid-based program to Syracuse’s next head coach.

“At the end of the day, I can promise you that I am trying to leave this program in the best position it can be when I leave,” he said. “I think we can do it.”

The university says her death took place at a university residence, but no further details have been provided.

“Katie was extremely committed to everything and everyone in her world,” Stanford told the press. “Her friends describe her as a team player bigger than life in all her pursuits, from choosing an academic discipline, which she said changed ‘my worldview and the very important challenges we need to work together to overcome. “She brought passion to Cardinal’s women’s football program and to women’s sports in general.”

The university has resources for those affected by Mayer’s death and encourages people to check on the people around them.

According to a biography page posted on the Stanford Athletics website, Mayer was born in Burbank and graduated from Century Academy in 2018 in Thousand Oaks.

The school says she attended and played football for Newbury Park High for three years.

ESPN contributed to this report.

The Arizona Cardinals are a team on the brink of ruin, dressed in Gucci. Their situation looks perfect from the outside, but under the aesthetics of exciting number 1 in general and accumulated violation is a team that fell asleep after its start with 10-2. It is reported that the result 1-5 in the decisive part of the season left the owner Michael Bidwell was angryand that was before the relationship with their star quarterback began to fall apart.

Cliff Kingsbury’s offense has reached just 18.5 points per night in the last six games and has been harassed in the Wild Card round by a more prepared team. Arizona’s move to a crucial part of the season, when playoff teams are locked in, is becoming a trend.

Kingsbury and the Cards flew high 5-2 in 2020, before falling to 3-6 weaker after October. The Kingsbury air raid tended to turn once the schedule was full. In Arizona, his teams showed the same narcolepsy in the second half.

At Texas Tech, between 2014 and 2018, Kingsbury’s record was 20-15 in the first seven games. He set a record of 7-20 for the rest of the year. Kingsbury is the so-called prodigy who has never achieved anything. How long can a third-born coach return to second base before Bidwell has enough?

These factors make it even more inexplicable for the Cardinals to transfer extensions to a coach who has won half of his matches since 2019. Coach GQ will continue into the 2027 season. Kingsbury was already one of the most risky hires in NFL history when he was directed to adapt Air Raid’s attack on Kyler Murray.

General manager Steve Keem has been given an extension after missing out on a draft in recent years and failing to build an offensive line to protect Murray. But at least he has a few feathers in his hat. He overtook Houston Texas for DeAndre Hopkins, then swapped choices in the 3rd and seventh rounds for All-Pro Rodney Hudson. He then hired Zack Erz as Murray’s safety valve in the middle of the season. The skipping pass, the extraordinary Chandler Jones has recorded over 70 sacks as a cardinal, but will look for greener pastures in a free agency. Replacing him will be a challenge, but Cam has shown he is capable.

The draft was a different story. Keem spent two first-round selections in consecutive drafts of two midfielders who fought but hit recent gems such as Budda Baker and Byron Murphy. Kingsbury failed to diversify the attack once Hopkins before Week 9 and did not use Rondale Moore effectively enough.

There are a number of coaches that the Cardinals could contact if the Cardinals go down the field again, such as Sean Peyton, Jim Caldwell and Brian.Not this Brian“Flores. Commitment to Kingsbury nullifies all the progress he has made with Murray as the organization comes to a crossroads in his career. Given his recent irritability, they need to show some urgency instead of committing to a mid-road regime.

Stanford senior goalkeeper Katie Meyer, whose save from a penalty was one of the most memorable moments of the NCAA Women’s Championship in 2019, has died, the school said.

The school first mentioned death at a campus residence on Tuesday, but did not release a name until the family was notified. This gave no cause of death. The school said that the consulting staff was on site at her residence, and the athletics consulting staff worked with student athletes.

Mayer was a major in international relations with a minor in history. She was also a permanent assistant and captain of Stanford’s women’s soccer team. She has one older sister and one younger sister and turned 22 in January.

It was her celebration during penalties in the 2019 NCAA Women’s College Cup match that appealed to fans across the country, while irritating others. Stanford and North Carolina were tied after the regulation and continued at 0-0 in both overtimes. This sent the game to penalties for the first time in the history of the NCAA Championship.

Mayer saved the first attempt for a penalty, but the parties scored a draw 4-4. Mayer then saved another blow to keep him there, and celebrated in front of the camera near the doorway. Chiara Pickett scored to give Stanford a 5-4 lead and a third title in the program.

The story continues

While many liked it, others said it had crossed the line, and some made sexist comments. Mayer addressed these comments – noting that she was 19 at the time and therefore had never been “there before” – in an interview with Just Women’s Sports in January 2020.

Mayer continued to be an intern at JWS, which was founded by Stanford graduate Hailey Rosen.

Stanford called on everyone to check on their friends and loved ones, to “take care of themselves and each other” and said there would be more opportunities to honor and remember Mayer as a community.
