Para Rodrigo Caetano, grupo do Flamengo na Libertadores é equilibrado

MatériaMais Notícias

No sorteio de grupos da Libertadores, realizado nesta quarta-feira à noite, no Paraguai, o Flamengo ficou na chave 4, aolado do River Plate, da Argentina, e doEmelec, do Equador. A vaga restante neste grupo, fica em aberto.

O diretor executivo de futebol, Rodrigo Caetano, acompanhou o sorteio. Em entrevista ao canal SporTv, o dirigente ponderou que Flamengo está em equilíbrio com os seus futuros adversários.

– O grupo novamente, pelo segundo ano, bastante equilibrado. Difícil fazer qualquer projeção. Essa edição da Libertadores tem muitos campeões, com grande número de brasileiros. Era natural que certamente cairíamos com um dos grandes argentinos como cabeça de chave – afirmou Rodrigo.

Ainda sem saber qual será a punição do time rubro-negro pelos incidentes na final da Copa Sul-Americana, no Maracanã, Rodrigo Caetano espera não perder mandos de campo.

– Gera um pouco de ansiedade. A gente ainda não sabe como vai ser o desfecho disso, mas realmente a gente espera que não tenhamos um prejuízo maior do que o que aconteceu na final. Que o Flamengo tenha condições de jogar perante o seu torcedor, torcedor ordeiro, torcedor que realmente representa a grande nação rubro-negra – afirmou o dirigente.

Sobre a decisão da Fifa de diminuir asuspensão de Guerreiro pela metade, de um ano para seis meses, o diretor de futebol do Flamengo enfatizou confiança no jogador.

– Só vem a demonstrar aquilo que a gente sempre soube desde o início. A gente espera que ele possa ser absolvido e estar a disposição. Poder contar com o Paolo numa Libertadores, seria um grande acréscimo de qualidade e experiência para o Flamengo.

Rodrigo Caetano, no entanto, não deu pistas sobre a possível contratação de um centroavante para o lugar do camisa 9.

– A gente ainda não tomou essa decisão. É nossa obrigação discutir internamente, ver possibilidades. Até o dia de hoje, a gente tinha certeza era de que a punição seria de um ano. Vamos primeiro conversar entre nós, ver quais são as nossas possibilidades e os riscos disso tudo, para depois ver se a gente vai ao mercado ou não.

أمير مرتضى عن عقوبة إمام عاشور واستبعاده من مباريات الزمالك: "أمر لا يخص أحد"

تحدث أمير مرتضى منصور المشرف العام على الكرة بنادي الزمالك، عن الأزمة التي تتردد حاليًا بشأن عدم التزام إمام عاشور لاعب وسط الفريق الأول لكرة القدم، وغيابه عن المشاركة في المباريات الماضية.

وقال أمير مرتضى في تصريحاته خلال المؤتمر الصحفي الذي عقده، اليوم الأحد، لتقديم الصفقات الجديدة: “لا أرى أزمة في موقف إمام عاشور، وليس من الطبيعي أن لاعب لا يشارك في مباراة يتم توجيه سؤال مثل، هل هناك أزمة؟، المدير الفني هو الذي أراد أن يستبعد اللاعب وهذا طبيعي”.

وأوضح: “أنا المسؤول عن الفريق وأؤكد أن استبعاد إمام عاشور ليس بسبب أي شيء غير طبيعي، والحديث عن تأخر اللاعب عن حضور التدريبات أو توقيع غرامة مالية لا يخص أحد، لأن طبيعي تحدث أي ظروف لأي لاعب”.

وأضاف: “لن أخجل في الإعلان عن عقوبة لاعب إذا كانت تحتاج للإعلان، إمام عاشور لو كان مُعاقب أو مُستبعد لأسباب غير فنية كان سيتم الإعلان عنها”.

وواصل: “ليس من الطبيعي أن يشارك كل اللاعبين، ويوسف أوباما أكبر مثال، لأنه كان أساسيًا لفترة كبيرة، والآن لا يشارك أساسيا، هل هناك ازمة في ذلك؟”.

وعن حقيقة التفاوض مع البرزايلي جيوفاني سانتانا: “لا أعلم من هو من الأساس، وتابعت اسمه من خلال ما يتردد منذ الأمس، ولكن لا يوجد أي مفاوضات معه”.

Wolves fans love Joao Moutinho goal footage

A number of Wolves supporters have been showing their love for Joao Moutinho after footage of his superb goal against Brentford was posted by the club on Twitter.

Wanderers carried on their magnificent recent form on Saturday afternoon, battling their way to a 2-1 win against the Bees in west London. A tight game saw Moutinho open the scoring with a great strike early in the second half, before Ivan Toney equalised and Ruben Neves bagged the winner.

It was another impressive day at the office for Moutinho, who is still producing big performances at the age of 35 and received an 8.6 match rating from Sofascore, the highest of any player in the match.

On Saturday night, Wolves’ official Twitter channel shared new footage of the veteran’s strike, further highlighting his evergreen brilliance as a footballer and showing why so many supporters are calling for his contract to be extended beyond its current expiry date of June 2022.

Carille faz primeiros testes e esboça Corinthians com Romão e Kazim

MatériaMais Notícias

No terceiro dia de pré-temporada, o técnico Fábio Carille começou a formar o Corinthians da temporada 2018. Nesta sexta-feira, ele fez o primeiro trabalho tático do ano no CT Joaquim Grava e realizou os primeiros testes. Como previsto, o turco Kazim saiu na frente na disputa pela vaga de Jô, de partida para o Japão.

É preciso frisar que ainda são os primeiros testes e impressões, portanto ainda prematuro para se fazer qualquer análise. Carille, porém, já iniciou os movimentos na tentativa de formar uma base. E nela, Kazim treinou no ataque com os demais titulares que terminaram o ano.

Depois de feitos os exercícios físicos, o técnico levou dois grupos de jogadores para um campo onde fez trabalhos de ataque contra defesa, sempre enfatizando a sua linha de quatro defensores. O time que atacava tinha: Gabriel, Camacho, Romero, Jadson, Rodriguinho e Kazim. Já os defensores desse grupo eram Léo Príncipe, Warian, Léo Santos e Moisés; Paulo Roberto. Ou seja, uma defesa com todos que foram reservas no ano passado.

Neste ponto, sobre a formação ofensiva, é preciso lembrar que Carille cogita mudar o esquema, saindo do 4-2-3-1 e voltando ao 4-1-4-1. Se fizer isso, ele pretende atuar com Jadson mais centralizado, provavelmente dividindo a meia com Rodriguinho. Assim, Camacho sairia do time, já que o técnico não abre mão de dois pontas abertas (Romero e Clayson). Caso mantenha o 4-2-3-1, Jadson e Clayson brigaram por duas vagas, como aconteceu em 2017.

Já no outro campo, a atividade era mais genérica, espaço reduzido e dois toques, com sete jogadores de cada lado, todos podendo atacar e defender. Desse grupo saíram Fagner, Balbuena, Pedro Henrique e Guilherme Romão para trabalhar com Carille a linha de quatro. É um esboço de formação defensiva, com Pedro na vaga de Pablo e Romão, na de Guilherme Arana. O lateral-esquerdo volta de empréstimo do Oeste e inicia o ano testado na frente de Moisés, o reserva do ano passado. Lembrando, sempre, que é apenas o primeiro teste de Carille.

Dos jogadores que estão à disposição, apenas o zagueiro Yago e o volante Renê Júnior não participaram do treino. Yago deixou o treino da última quinta-feira com dores na coxa esquerda, enquanto Renê ficou na academia. Ele foi anunciado quinta como reforço por três anos, mas ainda não foi apresentado.

Nesta sexta o lateral-esquerdo Juninho Capixaba, contratado do Bahia, também esteve no CT, mas ficou apenas na parte interna. Ele deve assinar contrato ainda nesta tarde antes de ser anunciado como reforço do time. A tendência é que ele siga viagem com o grupo para os Estados Unidos, onde o Timão complementará a pré-temporada com a disputa da Florida Cup. O embarque é no próximo domingo à noite. Até lá, a equipe treina em dois períodos.

Robinson reacts to Leeds’ Ramsay interest

Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson has been reacting to the club’s reported interest in Aberdeen teenager Calvin Ramsay.

The Lowdown: Leeds keen on Ramsay

The Whites are yet to make a senior addition this month, with Mateo Joseph Fernandez the only player through the door at Thorp Arch for the under-23 side.

RB Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson is the club’s key midfield target, although Leeds have also been linked with Ramsay. The 18-year-old right-back has been a regular at Pittodrie this season, making 22 appearances, with Elland Road scouts heading north to watch him in action earlier this month.

Reports suggest that Aberdeen want in excess of £6m to part ways with the full-back this month, and Robinson has been giving his thoughts on a potential late move.

The Latest: Robinson’s comments

The 42-year-old, who regularly features as a pundit on Sky Sports, was talking to MOT Leeds News over a possible move for Ramsay.

He labelled the Aberdeen starlet as ‘quality’ but urged Leeds to strengthen in other areas before swooping for the teenager, saying:

“It’s not a lot of money but if you ask any Leeds fan if you want a right-back when you’ve got Luke Ayling, he’s been a top-class right-back for the last three or four seasons.

“Jamie Shackleton can play there, Stuart Dallas has played there. It’s not a pressing matter.

“Okay, signing good young players is always good for the club but they need a centre-half, they need a central midfielder and they need a centre-forward. They are far more pressing issues than a right-back.

“Yes, he’s a top player. Yes, he’s a quality young player who’s up and coming. But it’s not an area that Leeds fans will look at and say that’s what the team needs to improve.”

The Verdict: Spot on

As Robinson says, Victor Orta has bigger fish to fry in the final days of the January transfer window, so a move for Ramsay shouldn’t be a priority.

He could be a future star, but Leeds are well stocked in that department and also have youngster Cody Drameh gaining senior experience on loan at Cardiff City, and he could be Luke Ayling’s long-term replacement.

Orta was after a defensive and attacking midfielder this month, but at this stage it doesn’t look as if he’ll get either, with a move for Aaronson looking more likely for the summer.

He may have something up his sleeve to bolster Marcelo Bielsa’s midfield ranks, and if he does, he’ll need to act fast with Monday’s deadline fast approaching.

IPL will overcome ongoing crisis – Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar, the Mumbai Indians captain, has said he is confident the IPL is strong enough to overcome the ongoing crisis

Sachin Tendulkar says the IPL will survive•Indian Premier League

Sachin Tendulkar, the Mumbai Indians captain, has said he is confident the IPL is strong enough to overcome the ongoing crisis, which began with the controversy over the ownership of the Kochi franchise and now involves the league being investigated by the Income Tax department, and Lalit Modi heading for a showdown with the BCCI.”Life is not a smooth journey always, there are sometimes rough patches in between, and you overcome all those hurdles. I’m sure cricket will help overcome all those hurdles,” he told . “I think when that competitiveness is witnessed by millions, you leave all those things behind.”People are waiting to see [the IPL matches]. Every evening they are switching on their television to see a competitive match. I personally feel all these obstacles and hurdles will be [overcome].”The BCCI called for a meeting of the IPL’s governing council on April 26 to deal with the problems but Modi objected to it. Modi had, in a letter to BCCI president Shashank Manohar, questioned the validity of Monday’s meeting; it has been called by N Srinivasan, the BCCI secretary who is also the owner of the IPL’s Chennai franchise, and Modi pointed to the conflict of interest in his calling the meeting. Manohar has since rejected that notion.Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians are waiting to see if Tendulkar, who split his webbing while attempting a catch against Royal Challengers Bangalore, will be fit for the IPL final on April 25. Tendulkar said “the stitches would not come off for the next eight days.”

عرض برازيلي يقلق اتحاد جدة بشأن رومارينيو

ربطت تقارير صحفية برازيلية نجم اتحاد جدة السعودي رومارينيو دا سيلفا بأحد أندية الدوري هناك مما يهدد استمرار اللاعب في صفوف العميد.

وبحسب شبكة “Torcedores” البرازيلية فإن نادي بوتافوجو البرازيلي المملوك من قبل رجال أعمال يرغب بقوة في تقديم مفاجأة للجماهير بالتعاقد مع رومارينيو لتعزيز صفوف الفريق الهجومية.

ويأمل النادي البرازيلي في ضم رومارينيو في صيف 2023 عقب نهاية الموسم الحالي بنظام الإعارة، مع تحديد خيار الشراء في نهاية فترة إعارته.

وكان اتحاد جدة تعاقد مع رومارينيو في صيف 2018 قادما من صفوف الجزيرة الإماراتي ليصبح هداف الفريق التاريخي بين الأجانب في تاريخ الدوري السعودي للمحترفين.

ولعب رومارينيو 154 مباراة بقميص اتحاد جدة ونجح في تسجيل 81 هدفاً وصنع 15 هدف.

وفي الموسم الحالي شارك رومارينيو في 7 مباريات في دوري روشن السعودي وتمكن من إحراز هدف وحيد ليساهم في تواجد الاتحاد في المركز الثالث في جدول الترتيب برصيد 18 نقطة بفارق 4 نقاط عن الشباب المتصدر.

تين هاج: أثق أن رونالدو سيسجل مزيد من الأهداف وكان رائعًا أمام شيريف

يثق إريك تين هاج أن كريستيانو رونالدو سيواصل التسجيل بعد أن هز الشباك في عودته إلى التشكيلة الأساسية حيث تمكن مانشستر يونايتد من الفوز بثلاثة أهداف على شيريف تيراسبول في الدوري الأوروبي.

ولقد عاد النجم البرتغالي إلى تشكيلة مانشستر يونايتد للمرة الأولى بعد اقتحام النفق في أولد ترافورد بعد فوز يونايتد المهيمن بهدفين على توتنهام الأسبوع الماضي – مما أجبر المدرب تين هاج على إبعاد النجم عن الرحلة التالية إلى تشيلسي نهاية الأسبوع الماضي.

تحدث إيريك تين هاج، مدرب مانشستر يونايتد، بعد الفوز إلى موقع “يويفا” وقال: “سيطرنا على المباراة، ولعبنا في نصف ملعب الخصم، وبقينا فيه، وصنعنا الكثير من الفرص وسجلنا ثلاثة أهداف”.

وأضاف: “كانت أهداف جيدة، الأول سجل من أدء جماعي والثاني والثالث من اللعب المفتوح، لقد كانت أهداف رائعة لذا أنا سعيد بذلك”.

بشأن الهدف الثاني الأنيق لمانشستر يونايتد، أفاد تين هاج: “علينا أن نحقق المزيد من الاختلافات، هذا نوع من الأهداف يعجبني، ولكن عليك أيضًا أن تسجل من الانتقالات، عندما تريد أن تكون فريقًا كبيرًا، فأنت بحاجة إلى المزيد من الاختلافات لتسجيل الأهداف”.

تين هاج سُئل عن راشفورد ورونالدو، ورد: “أردت أن أرى كريستيانو وماركوس راشفورد قريبين من بعضهما لذا من الجيد أن يسجل كلاهما، هذه إشارة جيدة، رسالة جيدة ويمكننا البناء على ذلك”.

وقال تين هاج عن رونالدو بعد المباراة، في حديث لـ بي تي سبورتس: “لقد كان رائعًا، صنع الفرص والفريق يصنع له، إنه يحتاج إلى هدف لتجاوز هذه النقطة وأنا واثق من أنه سيحقق المزيد من الأهداف”.

وأتم: “أجرينا الاستبدال المخطط له بإخراج أنتوني ليتقارب رونالدو وراشفورد، تم التخطيط لتبديلاتنا، نحن واثقون من دخول المباراة النهائية (أمام ريال بيتيس) والقيام بما يتعين علينا القيام به”.

Mithun among trio to train in Brisbane

Abhimanyu Mithun and Under-19 players, Harpreet Singh and Mandeep Singh, have been awarded the Border-Gavaskar scholarship for 2010

Abhimanyu Mithun and Under-19 players, Harpreet Singh and Mandeep Singh, have been awarded the Border-Gavaskar scholarship for 2010. The scholarship entitles them to a two-week training stint starting May 15 at Cricket Australia’s Centre of Excellence in Brisbane.Mithun, 20, had a fantastic debut domestic season, finishing as the leading wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy, in which he helped Karnataka reach the final for the first time in 12 years. His performances were rewarded with a call-up to the national squad for the Tests against South Africa earlier this year, and an international debut in the one-dayers that followed.He wasn’t picked for either the World Twenty20 or the second-string side to tour Zimbabwe, but is part of the India A outfit that tours England next month. For a player who hasn’t trained or played outside India before, the trip to Brisbane helps him get a taste of overseas conditions.”The scholarship provides good preparation for that tour (of England),” Mithun told Cricinfo. “They have good coaches for fast bowlers there, it will be a good chance to learn more about fitness for fast bowlers, and my coach has told me learn about the slower ball (which he has been working on).”Accompanying Mithun will be two players who were a key part of India’s Under-19 World Cup campaign earlier this year. Harpreet is a left-hand batsman and right-arm medium-pacer from Madhya Pradesh, and Mandeep is a top-order batsman from Punjab. Both of them caught the eye during the U-19 tour to Australia last year, and were part of the Kolkata Knight Riders for the 2010 season.Players who have received the scholarship in previous years include seamer RP Singh, batsman Virat Kohli, Saurastra batsman Cheteshwar Pujara and Delhi seamer Pradeep Sangwan.

Rangers handed key Doekhi boost

A key boost has emerged for Rangers in their pursuit of a centre-back signing for Gio van Bronckhorst…

What’s the talk?

According to 24Sata, via the Daily Record, Gers target Danilho Doekhi has rejected a contract offer from Dinamo Zagreb in a last-gasp twist on deadline day.

It was reported last week that the player was set to make a decision between signing a pre-contract deal with the Croatian outfit or Rangers. The latest report does not state that he has now agreed to join the Scottish giants, but they now appear to be the only horse left in the race for the Vitesse beast.

Elation

This update will surely leave fans feeling elated as this news suggests that the club will be able to snap Doekhi up on a free transfer in the summer.

If the earlier report is to be believed then the defender may be keen on a move to the Gers and a late deadline day pre-contract deal could be on the cards. Although, it remains to be seen whether or not Ross Wilson will look to strike an agreement now or wait until the end of the season when he officially leaves Vitesse.

Either way, supporters will be buzzing with the prospect of him arriving at the club as he could be an excellent addition to the squad. He is enjoying a fine season with the Dutch club in the Eredivisie, with an average SofaScore rating of 6.99.

The Dutchman has won an impressive 66% of his duels, making 3.4 tackles and interceptions per game. This shows that he is strong in his individual battles and capable of regularly winning possession back for his side, which is why he could be a solid player to add to the Gers squad.

He could also be a fantastic piece of business for the future. At the age of 23, van Bronckhorst could work with him in training to help him improve over time, making him a shrewd signing in the short and long term for the Gers.

It is now down to Wilson to take advantage of this boost that he has been given by Zagreb’s offer being rejected. He must swoop in on Doekhi and close out a deal for the defender.
