Em fase final de recuperação, Reinier será observado de perto por J. Jesus

MatériaMais Notícias

Entre os Garotos do Ninho, Reinier, de 17 anos, é a “bola da vez” no Flamengo. Após as vendas de Vinícius Júnior e Lucas Paquetá, o meia é quem mais mexe com o imaginário do rubro-negro e a expectativa é de que, a partir deste segundo semestre de 2019, a Nação passe a ver mais minutos do jovem pelo time profissional. Destaque do Sub-20 desde 2018, o jovem está fase final de recuperação da tendinite no joelho e a realizará junto com o grupo principal.

Camisa 10 nas divisões de base, Reinier já é chamado para realizar atividades com o elenco principal desde o ano passado. O clube ainda não trabalha com data para o atleta ser integrado ao grupo principal. Esse período de treinos, contudo, servirá para Jorge Jesus, e a comissão técnica trazida pelo português, conhecerem as características do jovem, que completará 18 anos em janeiro.

Após firmar acordo com o Flamengo, Jorge Jesus buscou informações sobre Reinier, que está entre os jogadores inscritos na Libertadores, apesar de não ter sido utilizado por Abel Braga nas seis rodadas da fase de grupos do torneio.

2019 DE POUCOS JOGOS PELO FLA E DESTAQUE NA SELEÇÃO

Reinier terminou o ano de 2018 da melhor forma possível: gol decisivo no Maracanã, contra o Fluminense, e título da Copa do Brasil Sub-17. Assim, a expectativa sobre o jovem em 2019 era gigante. Contudo, o camisa 10 pouco conseguiu atuar pelo Rubro-Negro nesta temporada. São 10 jogos pelo time Sub-20 (quatro pela Copa do Brasil, quatro pela Copa SP de Futebol Júnior e outros dois pelo Campeonato Carioca) e quatro gols marcados por Reinier.

As poucas apresentações pelo Flamengo em 2019 explicam-se, em parte, pela presença do camisa 10 no Campeonato Sul-Americano Sub-17, disputado no Peru. Apesar da campanha da Brasil, que não passou da fase inicial, Reinier foi bem, três gols em quatro jogos contra Paraguai, Uruguai, Colômbia e Argentina.

A última partida de Reinier no ano – por Flamengo ou Seleção Brasileira – foi no dia 30 de abril, na derrota por 4 a 1 para o Cruzeiro na semifinal da Copa do Brasil Sub-20. Desde então, o meio-campista está em tratamento da tendinite.

SITUAÇÃO CONTRATUAL

Reinier tem contrato com o Flamengo válido até o dia 31 de dezembro de 2020, com multa estipulada em 70 milhões de euros, cerca de R$ 306 milhões e 300 mil. A partir de junho do ano que vem, o meia poderá assinar um pré-contrato com qualquer outro clube, o que já fez a direção da Gávea movimentar-se por uma renovação. A ideia é estender o vínculo até 2024 – e aumentar a multa.

Sem poder atuar pelas divisões de base do Flamengo, por conta da tendinite no joelho, Reinier foi à Gávea nesta quarta e acompanhou a classificação do Sub-17 para a semifinal do Brasileirão. Os Garotos do Ninho venceram o Athletico por 3 a 0 (na ida, já haviam vencido por 3 a 1) e agora enfrentam o São Paulo.

Reinier esteve nas arquibancadas da Gávea ao lado de Lázaro, atacante titular da equipe que cumpriu suspensão na partida contra o Furacão. A dupla foi tietada pelos torcedores presentes e o clube da Gávea registrou sua presença.

England rejects power Nottinghamshire

A trio of discarded England batsmen saw Nottinghamshire to victory in their opening match of the NatWest T20 Blast at Trent Bridge

A trio of discarded England batsmen saw Nottinghamshire to victory in their opening match of the NatWest T20 Blast at Trent Bridge.James Taylor, Michael Lumb and Samit Patel – none of whom were included in the England limited-overs squads named earlier this week – thrashed 125 between them from only 84 balls to take the Nottinghamshire total out of reach of a Lancashire side that look painfully thin in terms of their batting.If Patel, who made a 39-ball half-century, went on to record the highest score of the game, it was Taylor who most impressed. At one stage he hit James Anderson for three successive fours, before clipping Kabir Ali over midwicket for six. It was another reminder of his range of stroke and his power. Aged 24, and with a career T20 batting average of 35.16 and a List A average of 50.76, you would have thought he was exactly the sort of player the England selectors were looking towards for the future.Indeed, Taylor could be forgiven for wondering what more he has to do. While he has spent the last few days giving positive interviews to every news outlet that was interested about the attraction of this competition, he has seen Michael Carberry, almost 10 years older and with an inferior record in all three formats of the game, recalled to the squad after delivering a scathing and not entirely accurate assessment on the team management.Patel might wonder what more he has to do, too. Blessed with marvellous hand-eye coordination, he put away anything less than yorker length with power and skill in recording the 15th half-century of his T20 career. He later delivered four overs of gentle but well controlled left-arm spin, claiming his 100th T20 wicket in the process.That Patel was not unbeaten was due to an outstanding boundary catch from Steven Croft in the final over of the Nottinghamshire innings. It appeared as if Patel had repeated the stroke of the previous ball – a six over long-on – but Croft produced a superb leap and held on to a catch that will have to be a contender for the best of the season.By then the damage was done, though. Lumb and Taylor had added 54 in four overs, Patel and Riki Wessels a further 53 in 5.5 and, by the time Patel and Chris Read added another 39 in 24 balls, Nottinghamshire were out of reach.Perhaps, had James Anderson bowled his full allocation of overs, Lancashire might have restricted Nottinghamshire to a more manageable total. The reason given by Lancashire for the seemingly odd decision was that they felt Wayne White was bowling better than Anderson.Lancashire never threatened to get close to their target. While Jos Buttler, of whom a miracle is expected almost every time he bats, produced a few sparkling strokes – a scoop to fine-leg off his second delivery, a reverse sweep of remarkable power and a thrash over long-on – too much was required of him.Jordan Clark, a 23-year-old with a large reputation in second XI cricket which included six sixes in an over last season, also hit the ball unusually cleanly in making 44 from 20 balls, but by then it was a question of how large the margin would be. Clark, who would be one of those players most at risk of losing his place should Andrew Flintoff make a comeback, was yorked by the impressive Andy Carter.Almost the only fault Nottinghamshire made all evening was Taylor dropping a simple catch offered by Tom Smith at mid-on. But Alex Hales, earlier undone by a sharp short ball from Anderson, picked up the rebound and saw that Smith was run out with a fine, strong throw.This was close to a perfect opening evening for the re-launch of the competition. On a fine pitch for this format, spectators were treated to fours and sixes, brilliant catches and hopeless drops, a couple of amusing run-outs and enough warmth to allow a crowd of 10,971 to sit in relative comfort until past 9pm. That is only just short a record for a group game on this ground and, after a home win and an entertaining evening, there is a good chance many will return.

توفيق السيد يهاجم فيتور بيريرا: أخشى من موسم كارثي للتحكيم المصري

وجه توفيق السيد عضو لجنة الحكام السابق انتقادات قوية ولاذعة ضد فيتور فيريرا رئيس لجنة الحكام بسبب قراراته الأخيرة، منوها إلى ظهور التحكيم المصري بشكل كارثي في الموسم الجديد.

وكان بطولات قد كشف بالصور أن عدد من الحكام من مختلف الدرجات تواجدوا في اتحاد الكرة، اعتراضًا على التصنيف الأخير للحكام، واستعاد الاتحاد بالشرطة لتأمين مقر الجبلاية.

وقال في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة etc: “اعترضت على قرار بيريرا بتحديد 24 حكماً فقط لإدارة مباريات الدوري الممتاز، وأبلغته بصعوبة تطبيق ذلك، وكان بالفعل لدينا تصنيف ولكن غير معلن، وطالبته بعدم الإعلان عن التصنيف حتى لا تحدث ثورة بين الحكام”.

وأكمل: “هناك حكام لديهم تاريخ في الدوري الممتاز، وتم استبعاد بعض الأسماء، وفي النهاية اختار 37 حكما للعب في المنافسات الموسم المقبل، كنت أشرك 41 حكما في النسخة السابقة من الدوري، وهناك عدد كبير من الحكام لن يديروا أي مواجهات سوى بطولات المناطق”.

وأردف: “مع احترامي وتقديري لـ بيريرا، لكنه لم يفيد الحكام فنيًا ولم يقم بإعطائهم أي محاضرات فنية، واكتفى ببعض الأمور بعيدة عن المستوى التحكيمي التي تخص (الشرابات والتوس)، حزين لما يحدث حاليا، وبيريرا لا يريد الجلوس مع أي حكم”.

وتابع: “بيريرا يقوم بطرد أي شخص يريد الحديث معه، وهذا أمر غير مقبول، كما أبلغني الخبير البرتغالي أن محمود عاشور لن يدير أي مباراة، وسيتم الاكتفاء بوجوده على تقنية الفار، ولكني عارضت ذلك وطالبته بوجوده في المباريات”.

طالع | بطولات يوضح تفاصيل اجتماع اتحاد الكرة مع الحكام بعد الاعتراض على نظام بيريرا

واستطرد: “بيريرا يبلغ من العمر 67 سنة وبعيد عن الحكام عكس كلاتنبرج الذي كان عمره قريب من الحكام، وهو لم يعطي الحكام أي مادة علمية مطلقا ولم يتحدث معهم حول أي شيء لتطوير مستواهم، والكرة المصرية لن تستفيد من بيريرا ولا يصلح لإدارة لجنة الحكام، ولم نستطع تقييمه في البداية وبمجرد قيامه بعقد محاضرة كان محط سخرية من الجميع، وذهب للمحافظات من أجل شرح سيرته الذاتية فقط للحكام، وهو بعيد عن الحكام تماما، وهو ليس محاضراً ولا يعرف شيئا، ويحصل على حوالي 20 ألف دولار بخلاف المزايا الأخرى”.

وأضاف: “فيتور بيريرا يتعامل بشكل سيئ، ويكلف الدولة مليون و200 ألف جنيه شهريا، ويتطاول على مسؤولي لجنة الحكام ولا يستطيع تحمل الأعباء، ظل 4 أشهر يتابع ويراقب وعندما تحدث وبدأ يعمل ظهر بشكل سيئ، وقام بتهميش دوري لذلك قدمت استقالتي، ورفضت مواجهة الحكام بعد موضوع التصنيف وأبلغت بذلك محمد فاروق، هناك أسماء تلعب في الدوري منذ عشر سنوات وفوجئت باستبعادهم بدون أي معايير”.

وأوضح السيد: “بيريرا جاء بلائحة لجنة الحكام من الفيفا، منها منع أي خبير تحكيمي يعمل في القنوات التلفزيونية من التواجد في اللجنة حاليا أو مستقبلا، وأن مدة رئيس لجنة الحكام تكون مع مدة اتحاد الكرة لمدة 4 سنوات، وهو ما يمنع الجبلاية من إقالته إلا لأسباب سلوكية، واللائحة لم يتم اعتمادها من جانب اتحاد الكرة ولا أعرف لماذا يقوم بيريرا بتوزيعها على الحكام والإعلام ويريد فرضها بالأمر الواقع، وهو لا يحترم اتحاد كرة القدم ويجب رحيله فورا”.

واختتم: “التحضير على مستوى التحكيم المصري للموسم الجديد (كارثي)، ولست متفائل، ولابد من إقالة بيريرا من أجل مصلحة التحكيم المصري، هذا الرجل بعيد كل البعد عن التحكيم المصري، وما حدث خلال الساعات الماضية من جانب الحكام سيتكرر مرة آخري خلال الفترة المقبلة”.

Palmeiras marca reapresentação de Gustavo Gómez para quarta-feira

MatériaMais Notícias

Gustavo Gómez voltará a ficar à disposição do Palmeiras na quarta-feira. A diretoria deu cinco dias de descanso para o zagueiro, que defendeu o Paraguai na Copa América até quinta-feira, quando acabou eliminado pelo Brasil, nos pênaltis, nas quartas de final. O retorno de um dos principais jogadores do time ocorre exatamente uma semana antes do primeiro jogo oficial do semestre, diante do Inter, no Allianz Parque, na ida das quartas de final da Copa do Brasil.

Enquanto os colegas que não disputaram a competição continental de seleções tiveram dez dias de descanso, Gómez terá a metade desse tempo. Sua continuidade, contudo, vem com contrato novo. O empréstimo do Milan se encerrou na sexta-feira, mas a diretoria se acertou com o clube italiano desde o começo do ano para ter o paraguaio em definitivo.

Gustavo Gómez se reapresentará exatamente no dia do amistoso contra o Guarani, em Campinas, e dificilmente será utilizado. A expectativa é de que esteja em campo no jogo-treino de quinta-feira, contra o Operário-PR, na Academia de Futebol, até porque, como atuou na Copa América, não sentirá tanto a falta de ritmo.

Pelo Paraguai, o defensor utilizou a faixa de capitão e teve atuações elogiadas pelo seu desempenho defensivo, apesar de a equipe ter sofrido quatro gols em quatro partidas. Diante da Seleção Brasileira, contudo, acabou errando a primeira cobrança na decisão que eliminou o seu país.

Gustavo Gómez chegou ao Palmeiras há um ano, com o clube desembolsando1,5 milhão de euros (R$ 6,5 milhões em julho de 2018) ao Milan para tê-lo por empréstimo de um ano. No acordo, já havia uma cláusula de continuidade baseado na presença do paraguaio em campo e, como o jogador é um dos destaques do time, a diretoria deve adquiri-lo em definitivo por 4,5 milhões de euros (quase R$ 20 milhões).

Trego, Overton twins hold up Notts

When bad light brought a premature end to the day’s play at Trent Bridge, Nottinghamshire were not far from a winning line they must have expected to cross it some hours earlier. Once again, it was Samit Patel’s who changed the complexion of the game.

When bad light brought a premature end to the day’s play at Trent Bridge, Nottinghamshire were not far from a winning line they must have expected to cross it some hours earlier. Once again, it was Samit Patel’s belligerence that had changed the complexion of the game.Between them the Overton boys had helped to turn what looked at the start of play like a foregone conclusion into an intriguing enigma. Jamie made 50 as last man in, contributing to Somerset’s last wicket stand of 73, then his twin Craig ripped out Steven Mullaney and James Taylor for a duck each in the first over of the innings as Nottinghamshire began to chase a target of 110. Yet again, a day of county cricket had thrillingly confounded expectations. Craig later took Samit Patel after a quick fire 41 to finish on 3 for 23.Jamie Overton is a pretty handy No. 11. His previous first-class score was 56 against Warwickshire, though since that knock he has played two games for Devon and one for Somerset 2nds as has struggled with the accuracy of his bowling.Patel looked like a man who would prefer not to come back to Trent Bridge tomorrow, smacking eight boundaries in a stay of just 30 balls. Earlier in the day he passed 200 first-class wickets, and this has been a great match for him.Somerset started the day needing 187 to make Nottinghamshire bat again with seven wickets in hand. That they ended up setting them a target that wasn’t a given was down to a resilient and dogged batting effort, especially at the back end of the innings. Peter Trego made 107 not out, and accompanied by George Dockrell and Jamie Overton added a combined total of 149 for the last two wickets.It could be argued that Somerset have not had the climatic rub of the green in this match. On Sunday morning every captain around the country was winning the toss choosing to bat, and Marcus Trescothick was one of them. But although the weather was pleasant it was also muggy, and Nottinghamshire’s bowlers took advantage. Had it not been for Trescothick’s own 87, his side would have been in even more trouble than they were at the start of day three.It was an encouraging early morning for bowlers, warm but with plenty of cloud in the sky. There is a theory, which has never been adequately explained, that the construction of the New Stand alongside the Bridgeford Road has turned Trent Bridge into a happy hunting ground for swing bowlers. Peter Siddle, Andre Adams, and Harry Gurney would have been licking their lips.As it turned out it was an attritional morning. Somerset added 82 while losing two wickets. Exactly an hour into the day James Hildreth mis-timed a pull to midwicket off Ajmal Shahzad to present Andre Adams a simple catch; then Chris Jones, Somerset’s mainstay in the early stages of the innings, decided to leave alone an inducker from Harry Gurney and lost his off stump.The afternoon session was dominated by Peter Trego and his late order companions. Half of his 107 runs came from boundaries and he was strong on both sides of the wicket. His century was the eleventh of his first-class career. Craig Kieswetter contributed 54 before falling to two outstanding catches in the outfield by Alex Hales.Somerset deserve credit for making Nottinghamshire work today, but they will need something remarkable to avoid losing on Wednesday morning.
