Douglas Pedroso confia na reação do Boavista diante do Fluminense

MatériaMais Notícias

Com três pontos conquistados na Taça Guanabara, o Bovista encara o Fluminense neste domingo, em Xerém, com a missão de vencer o Tricolor carioca para voltar ao G4. Missão que passará pelo poder de reação do time após a derrota para o Vasco e que pode ser facilitada pelas qualidades já mostradas pela equipe de Saquarema. É o que acredita o volante Douglas Pedroso, um dos destaques do Boavista.

O Boavista foi o vice-líder do Grupo A do Carioca, com campanha superior ao próprio Fluminense, que avançou à Taça Guanabara em terceiro na chave.

– Conseguimos mostrar bem na primeira fase muitas de nossas armas. Todos viram que somos um time que erra poucos passes, desarma muito e cria alternativas para jogos complicados. É importante ter uma equipe equilibrada assim, que cria muito, desarma muito e propõe o jogo – destacou Pedroso, antes de mostrar confiança para o duelo em Los Lários:

– Tivemos uma partida difícil contra o Vasco, mas os erros viraram aprendizados e estamos prontos para a próxima missão. Acredito muito no poder de recuperação do nosso time e tenho certeza que será diferente contra o Flu. Vamos impor nosso ritmo, usar nossos melhores trunfos para que possamos sair de Xerém com um grande resultado.

O Boavista ocupa a quinta colocação da Taça Guanabara.

Bednarek earns Southampton plaudits

Many Southampton fans applauded the performance of defender Jan Bednarek after his side’s 2-0 victory against Sheffield United on Saturday.

The 24-year-old centre-back started for the 27th time during the 2020/21 Premier League as the Saints came out on top at Bramall Lane against the struggling Blades.

A first half penalty from James Ward-Prowse and a rocket from Che Adams sealed the deal for the visitors, which eased the woes of Danny Ings leaving the field injured before the 20-minute mark.

Bednarek, who has deputised at right-back on three occasions recently, was back in his natural position and shone for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side from a defensive point of view.

Per Sofascore, the Polish defender made seven clearances, four interceptions and three tackles as Southampton successfully kept a clean sheet in south Yorkshire.

Unsurprisingly, many supporters were pleased with Bednarek’s “immense” performance and were reassured to see him excel when back in his natural position. One fan said the 27-year-old was “solid as usual”, a fair comment as the Pole has made more interceptions per game and won the second-most aerial duels of any Saints player this season, per WhoScored:

Villa want Burnley’s Josh Brownhill

According to reports, Aston Villa are one of a number of Premier League sides interested in signing Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill in the summer transfer window.

What’s the story?

Despite signing Morgan Sanson back in January from Ligue 1 side Marseille, it appears Dean Smith isn’t done with reinforcing Villa’s midfield options ahead of next season.

Now, TEAMtalk claim that the Midlands club have got their sights set on Brownhill, with the likes of West Ham, Crystal Palace, Southampton and Wolves also having scouted him over the past few months.

The report adds that Burnley are facing a battle to keep hold of the 25-year-old after a “hugely impressive campaign”.

He silenced Jack Grealish

Having only joined Burnley last year, Brownhill has already established himself as a key part of Sean Dyche’s side, making 23 appearances in the Premier League already.

One of his best performances in a Clarets shirt came in a 0-0 draw against Villa back in December, with the 25-year-old just overpowering Jack Grealish on the day – the Villa talisman lined up in the number ten role, with Brownhill part of the Burnley engine room.

While Grealish still tried to work his magic, the Burnley man looked to get tight to him all the time, making the contest as physical as possible.

The £17m-rated Brownhill made a mammoth five interceptions, which was comfortably more than any other player on the pitch, and double that of his impressive season average of 2.4 per game in the Premier League.

As well as constantly trying to stop Grealish getting the ball in dangerous areas, Brownhill was also strong in the challenge, winning seven of his 11 total duels – he’s won 4.9 per match this season.

It was no surprise then that Grealish ended up losing the ball on 11 occasions, while none of his six attempts on goal found the target. Brownhill was an absolute machine in the middle of the park for Burnley and completely silenced Villa’s main man.

If Johan Lange was watching the midfielder, it’s no surprise that he appears to be interested in making a move for him in the summer.

Meanwhile, this Villa target delivered a masterclass at the weekend…

وائل رياض: أتوقع تألق خماسي منتخب مصر في أمم إفريقيا.. وكأس العرب أكد فكرة كيروش عن طارق حامد

أكد وائل رياض “شيتوس” لاعب الأهلي السابق، والمدرب المساعد للمنتخب الأولمبي الحالي، أنه يثق في تأهل منتخب مصر إلى كأس العالم، مُشددا على أنه يتوقع تألق خماسي الفراعنة في أمم إفريقيا.

وقال وائل رياض في تصريحات لبرنامج “بوكس تو بوكس” عبر قناة “etc”: “كأس العرب كانت تجربة مميزة لكيروش، وكشفت للمدرب أنه لا يحتاج لطارق حامد لاعب الزمالك في وسط الملعب”.

وأضاف: “لا يصح أن جماهير الأهلي والزمالك تتحكم في اختيارات كيروش، ومن الطبيعي أن يقول كيروش أنه لن يذهب للكاميرون للتتويج بالبطولة”.

وأضاف: “متفائل بعمل كيروش، والجهاز يشاهد تدريبات الفريق في بعض الأحيان 18 مرة، وأتوقع تألق محمد صلاح ومصطفى محمد وأحمد فتوح ورمضان صبحي وعمر مرموش”.

واختتم: “أثق في تأهل منتخب مصر إلى كأس العالم، لكني لا أحب نغمة من سنواجهه في المباراة الفاصلة من التصفيات النهائية، جوزيه كان دائما يقول لنا مقولة ثابتة حفظناها (إللي خايف يروح)”.

Ferroviária cai para Botafogo e deixa caminho livre para São Paulo avançar

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo será o adversário do Audax nas quartas de final do Campeonato Paulista. O Tricolor garantiu a vaga “do sofá” ao contar com um tropeço da Ferroviária para o Botafogo-SP na noite deste domingo, em Araraquara, pela 14ª rodada. Serginho balançou as redes aos dez minutos, garantiu a vitória dos visitantes e deu fôlego ao time de Ribeirão na luta contra o rebaixamento.

O resultado estacionou a Ferroviária no terceiro lugar do Grupo C, com 16 pontos. A uma rodada do fim da primeira fase, o clube de Araraquara não pode mais alcançar o São Paulo, que chegou aos 22 após vencer o Oeste, no sábado. Agora, o foco de Ferrinha passa a ser a luta para permanecer na elite, já que figura em 13º lugar e está empatada em números de pontos com o Água Santa (14º) e o próprio Botafogo (15º), primeira equipe na degola.

O São Paulo, por sua vez, volta suas atenções para a conquista do mando de campo nas quartas. O adversário do Tricolor no primeiro jogo do mata-mata será o Audax, mas as equipes disputarão a liderança da chave na última rodada. O time de Bauza enfrentará o São Bento fora de casa, enquanto a equipe de Osasco visitará o Santos, na Vila Belmiro.

Ainda neste domingo, fechando a 14ª rodada, o São Bernardo venceu o Red Bull por 3 a 2, de virada, em jogo que teve três pênaltis marcados. O Toro Loko saiu na frentecom Igor Sartori. O Bernô partiu pra cima e empatou com Jean Carlos, de pênalti. O meia fez o gol da virada em rebote do penal que ele mesmo desperdiçou, mas viu Roger igualar, também na bola parada. Mas a alegria não durou muito, e Walterson fez o gol da vitória no minuto seguinte.

Em casa, oItuano perdeu para o Mogi Mirim por 1 a 0, com gol de Matheus Ortigoza. Por fim, oNovorizontino venceu o Rio Claro por 2 a 0. Fahel e Michel balançaram as redes.

Os resultados deste domingo embolaram o Grupo B. Lanterna, o time de Itu soma 19 pontos, mesmo número da Ponte Preta, enquanto o Palmeiras, líder, e o Novorizontino, vice-líder, estão com 21 cada. O Bernô é o terceiro, com 20 unidades. A chave é a única que só será definida na última rodada.

WBA: Fans react relegation report

Fans of West Bromwich Albion have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relayed a report regarding the impact relegation will have on a number of the players’ contracts.

According to John Percy’s report for The Telegraph, should West Brom – who currently occupy 19th place in the Premier League table, eight points from safety – suffer relegation this season, some of the Baggies’ highest earners will face “wage cuts of up to 50 per cent,” while other players will see “pay reductions of 40 per cent” as well as a “number of departures” being anticipated – if the club do indeed drop down to the Championship.

After Percy relayed his report on Twitter, fans of West Brom flocked to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting that the club’s wage structure altering in the result of relegation is the sign of the club being well run, while other stated their belief that, following the performances of many of their players this season, they deserve a drop in pay.

So, what exactly did these West Bromwich Albion fans have to say in reaction to John Percy’s report?

“Why is this news? It’s how we’re run. Quite rightly too. I’m glad we don’t mortgage our future in trying to compete in the greed league. Poor journalism, here.”

@JoshRoberts1988

“Hardly a significant story, Always been the same with Albion. Only change is no buy out clauses which will benefit us big time.”

@Baggiejohn1

“Good. Their pathetic performances at the start of the season have consequences.”

@luke_millichamp

“Serves them right IMO.”

@BenSimm02

“Good.”

“League 1 here we come.”

Dia no São Paulo tem visita de Milton, lesão de Carlinhos e retornos

MatériaMais Notícias

Apesar de contar apenas com treino dos reservas, a manhã desta quinta-feira foi agitada no São Paulo. O CT da Barra Funda recebeu a visita de Milton Cruz, demitido na semana passada e que foi ao local para se despedir dos ex-colegas. Enquanto isso, Edgardo Bauza pôde celebrar a reintegração ao grupo de Wesley e Wilder, recuperados de problemas musculares.

A dupla já havia feito atividades com bola nos outros dias desta semana, mas sempre acompanhada do preparador físico Bruno Militano. Nesta quinta, os dois participaram normalmente de treino técnico em campo reduzido e duas equipes de sete atletas. Wesley, inclusive, se destacou com boa movimentação e bonitos gols. Kelvin, autor do gol salvador no 1 a 1 com o Linense na última quarta-feira, foi outro com desempenho a ser exaltado.

A expectativa agora é ver se Wesley e Wilder já serão relacionados para o duelo deste sábado, às 18h30, contra o Oeste no Morumbi, pela 14ª rodada do Campeonato Paulista. O primeiro não atua há sete partidas, desde a derrota por 3 a 1 para o São Bernardo, no Pacaembu. Já Wilder, utilizado duas vezes na temporada, não é relacionado desde o mês de fevereiro.

O lateral-esquerdo Mena também volta a ficar à disposição de Bauza. Depois de defender a seleção chilena nas Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo, o camisa 21 fez trabalho físico nesta quinta, mas deve atuar contra o Oeste na vaga deixada por Carlinhos, que deixou o empate com o Linense nos minutos finais após fisgada na coxa esquerda. Um exame detectou estiramento no local.

Outras baixas confirmadas são: Renan Ribeiro (aprimora a parte física), Breno (tendinite no joelho direito), Centurión (tendinite no joelho esquerdo), Rogério (estiramento na coxa direita) e Alan Kardec (suspenso). O zagueiro Lyanco, que defendeu a Sérvia nas Eliminatórias da Eurocopa Sub-19, também pode voltar a ser relacionado no retorno do Tricolor ao Morumbi.

برشلونة يكشف عن عقبة في صفقة فيران توريس وآخر تطورات أزمة ديمبلي

كشف نادي برشلونة عن عقبة في صفقة الوافد الجديد من مانشستر سيتي، فيران توريس، رغم الإعلان الرسمي عنها في الأيام الماضية وتقديمه في ملعب “كامب نو” منذ قليل.

وانتقل توريس إلى برشلونة مقابل 55 مليون يورو من مانشستر سيتي، ولكن حتى الآن، لم يتم تسجيله ضمن قائمة الفريق لدى رابطة الدوري الإسباني.

هذا ما اعترف به المدير الرياضي، ماتيو أليماني، منذ قليل في المؤتمر الصحفي للاعب الجديد، وقال: “الحقيقة أننا عندما وقعنا مع فيران كنا نعلم أنه لدينا مشكلة في سقف الرواتب السنوية”.

وأضاف: “افترضنا ذلك وعملنا بطرق مختلفة ونحن مقتنعون بأنني سنسجله قبل يوم الأحد، هذه هي توقعاتنا”.

وعن تسجيل داني ألفيس هو الآخر: “سيتم ذلك خلال اليوم أو غدًا، ولكن الصفقات الأخرى الجديدة يجب أن ننتظر حتى نبيع بعض اللاعبين وتعاقدنا مع توريس لأنها كانت صفقة تستحق وسنقوم بالمزيد لأنها خطتنا لتكوين فريق قوي”.

وأزمة تجديد ديمبلي: “لا يوجد اجتماع مع عثمان أو وكلائه اليوم، ولا نرغب في الكشف عن خطتنا، لقد تحدثنا مع وكلائه لمدة 5 أشهر، وهم يعرفون وضع النادي، لقد صبرنا كثيرًا وهم يعلمون أننا نرغب في بقاء اللاعب”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “لديهم عرضنا ولا يمكن تأجيله لفترة أطول وننتظر قرارهم النهائي”.

وتحدث رئيس برشلونة، خوان لابورتا، عن صفقة توريس هو الآخر: “الميركاتو الشتوي محدد للغاية ولا يمكنك القيام بالكثير من الصفقات الجديدة، ولكن كان فيران حالة استثنائية ولا نفكر في الدخول ضمن اتفاقية صندوق الاستثمار، لأننا لا نحتاج إلى المزيد من الديون ولكن إذا تغيرت شروط الاتفاقية قد ننضم”.

Moyes fired Soucek warning for West Ham

Speaking to Football Insider, pundit Danny Mills has sent a warning to David Moyes and West Ham United over interest from other clubs in midfielder Tomas Soucek, coming after a development that GSB look set to offer him a new deal to ward off suitors.

Indeed, the same outlet recently reported that Soucek is set to be given a bumper new contract ahead of the summer window, with Mills sending a warning that they may need to tie him down as soon as possible.

The pundit hinted that Soucek would have no loyalty to stay at the London Stadium should a club come in with larger wages on offer, suggesting that the Czech sensation needs to be offered a new deal as a ‘very good idea’ in order to fend off other clubs who could ‘come sniffing’.

Mills sends Soucek warning

“I’m not sure a new contract would put him up there with the top earners and the likes of Declan Rice and Michail Antonio,” explained Mills.

“Of course, West Ham now know other teams are going to come sniffing. Let’s just say he’s on £40,000-a-week which is good money and all of a sudden a big club comes in and says ‘You know what, we want him for £60,000-a-week’. Should he have a huge degree of loyalty to West Ham? Probably not, is the answer.

“Then you’ve got to pay whatever to replace him plus wages. It’s good business, he’s a good player and he’s proven that.

“To keep him at the football club would be a very good idea.”

Transfer Tavern take

Time will tell whether Soucek is offered a new contract before the summer, but Mills has warned West Ham they could lose the 25-year-old if action isn’t taken.

Given how influential he has been for the Irons this season (top league goalscorer, second-best performer as per WhoScored), it should come as no surprise if other clubs begin testing the Hammers’ resolve regarding the Czech midfielder.
