Dirigente do Botafogo diz que clube 'está sendo mal interpretado'

MatériaMais Notícias

No mesmo Estádio Nilton Santos onde, neste domingo, o Fla-Flu decide o campeão da Taça Guanabara, neste sábado o Botafogo colocou quase quatro mil pessoas. No evento “Fogão me chama”, houve foodtruck, os torcedores puderam conhecer áreas de pouco acesso no estádio e chegaram até o gramado. Rodrigo Pimpão, Camilo e Montillo deram autógrafos e tiraram fotos com os presentes. O vice-presidente de marketing do clube, Marcio Padilha, entende que é tempo de união.

– Estamos muito felizes. A torcida reagiu bem. É uma retribuição por ela ter acreditado tanto. Apesar da limitação do numero de senhas, foram quase 4 mil. Todo mundo entendendo, me agradeceram até pelo bronzeado extra (pelo sol na fila, risos). É um momento de unirmos. Um momento em que o Botafogo está sendo mal interpretado em alguns posicionamentos. Estamos unidos – ressalta o dirigente.

Durante toda a semana, o Botafogo se posicionou contra a realização do clássico deste domingo, no estádio, com as duas torcidas. A argumentação foi de falta de segurança, lembrando a morte de Diego Silva dos Santos no dia 12 de fevereiro, perfurado por um espeto de churrasco nos arredores do mesmo Engenhão, antes do duelo contra o Flamengo. Apesar da posição do Alvinegro, que acabou corroborada por muitos sócios, o clube foi derrotado na Justiça e se tornou alvo de críticas.

Em campo, o Botafogo joga na quinta-feira, pela primeira rodada da Taça Rio. Pela Libertadores, o desafio é só na semana que vem, terça, contra o Estudiantes (ARG).

Leeds: Kevin Phillips drops Arnaut Danjuma transfer verdict

Kevin Phillips has tipped Leeds United to sign Bournemouth winger Arnaut Danjuma as a replacement for Helder Costa this summer [Football Insider].

The Lowdown: Leeds United prepare for 2021/22

Moving into the 2021/22 season, it will be compelling to see how Marcelo Bielsa goes about shaping a team capable of bettering their impressive ninth-placed finish last term.

They have already concluded deals for youngster Amari Miller, alongside ex-Manchester City winger Jack Harrison [The Athletic].

Intriguingly, BBC pundit Phillips has now tipped the Whites to acquire Netherlands international Danjuma. Football Insider noted that, in a tweet from the Voetbal International Twitter account on 24 June which has since been deleted, the 24-year-old made some comments about wanting to join Leeds.

The Latest: Phillips backs Leeds to make move for Danjuma

Speaking to Football Insider about comments Danjuma made about potentially departing the south coast for Elland Road, Phillips stated:

“He’s a good player. He was one of Bournemouth’s better players last year. He’s very tricky and super skilful.

“When a player comes out and says that, it just speaks volumes about what Leeds did last season.

“When you’ve got a player coming out and saying ‘I would love to play for Leeds’.

“He could be a good replacement for someone like Helder Costa and he wouldn’t cost the Earth.”

[web_stories_embed url=“https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-united-news-7/” title=“Latest Leeds United news!” poster=“” width=“360″ height=“600” align=“none”]

The Verdict: Danjuma would be an excellent signing

Phillips is right to point out the favourable attributes that the Dutchman has as a footballer. He enjoyed a fantastic 2020/21 season in the Championship, registering 25 goal contributions in 37 games for the Cherries with 17 goals and eight assists [Transfermarkt].

Finishing as top scorer at the Vitality Stadium, he also achieved the highest match rating per match across Bournemouth’s entire first team squad, averaging a score of 7.21/10 across the campaign [WhoScored].

Looking ahead to the forthcoming season, Bielsa could do a lot worse than to swoop for the Dutch winger due to his predatory instincts in front of goal and his ability to carry the ball.

He would appear to be a great signing for the Premier League outfit should they decide to pursue him in the wake of his apparent recent comments.

الخطيب يتخذ أول رد فعل تجاه لاعبي الأهلي والجهاز الفني بعد تراجع النتائج

عقد محمود الخطيب، رئيس النادي الأهلي اجتماعًا ظهر اليوم مع لجنة التخطيط، التي تضم محسن صالح وزكريا ناصف وبحضور حسام غالي عضو مجلس الإدارة، وسيد عبد الحفيظ مدير الكرة، وذلك لمناقشة أسباب تراجع نتائج الفريق الأول بشكل مفاجئ.

واستأنف الفريق تدريباته عصر اليوم الأحد على ملعب التتش بالجزيرة، وذلك في إطار الاستعدادات لمواجهة وفاق سطيف الجزائري السبت القادم في ذهاب الدور قبل النهائي لبطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

وجاءت الزيارة بسبب تراجع النتائج بالرغم من توفير كافة احتياجات الفريق على كل المستويات، فضلًا عن القدرات الفنية المتميزة للاعبين وجهازهم الفني، والذين حققوا العديد من البطولات على المستويين المحلي والإفريقي.

شهد الاجتماع التطرق إلى كافة التفاصيل بمنتهى الوضوح لوضع النقاط فوق الحروف وإعادة الأمور إلى نصابها الطبيعي حرصًا على مسيرة الفريق في المرحلة المقبلة.

وعقب الاجتماع توجه محمود الخطيب وبصحبته حسام غالي ولجنة التخطيط لمران الفريق، وعقد اجتماعًا مع اللاعبين والجهاز الفني، وواجه الجميع بالقصور في المباريات الأخيرة، وقبلها غياب الروح والعزيمة والإصرار.

وشدد رئيس الأهلي على أن الفترة القادمة لا تحتمل تكرار مثل هذا التقصير أيًا كانت المبررات، ولا بد أن يضطلع كل فرد في منظومة الفريق بمسئولياته، وأن يتحلى الجميع بشخصية الأهلي في كل شيء، وغير مسموح لأي فرد أن يعيش على ذكريات البطولات الماضية، وأن الفوز ببطولة قارية لا يعني التفريط في البطولة المحلية، والأهلي يلعب للفوز بكل البطولات التي يشارك فيها، وكل مسئول في النادي أيًّا كان دوره سواء كان لاعبًا أو مدربًا أو إداريًّا أو عضو مجلس إدارة لا بد أن يعلم ذلك، ويعمل على تحقيقه.

وختامًا أشار محمود الخطيب إلى أنه لم ولن يفقد ثقته الكبيرة في اللاعبين وجهازهم الفني، وأن الأمر لا يزال بأيديهم، وهم قادرون على تصحيح الأوضاع.

MatériaMais Notícias

A disputa entre Tubarão e Almirante Barroso foi uma tentativa de um dos times terminarem em uma posição melhor no Campeonato Catarinense. Ambos estavam nas últimas colocações evitando uma queda, mas, a vitória por 4 a 1, no Domingos Gonzalez, deixou o Tubarão em sexto lugar. Sem sorte, o Barroso terminou o primeiro turno na última colocação, com apenas seis pontos.

Do lado do Tubarão, Rentería marcou dois e Everton Júnior seguiu o mesmo caminho. O único gol do Almirante Barroso foi feito por Felipe Lucena, já nos minutos finais do segundo tempo.

O Tubarão conseguiu garantir a vitória mesmo sem o lateral-direito Marcos Vinínius, que foi expulso após levar seu segundo cartão amarelo da partida.

Na próxima semana, os times retornam aos gramados pelo segundo turno do Catarinense. O Almirante Barroso encara o Joinville fora de casa. Já o Tubarão recebe o Metropolitano no Domingos Gonzalez.

New Zealand's Bond is Warwickshire bound

New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond is to play for Warwickshire in August

Lynn McConnell02-Jul-2002New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond is to play for Warwickshire in August.Bond, who secured another five-wicket bag today, his second of the two-Test series against the West Indies and the second of his brief Test career, is to replace South African Shaun Pollock while he takes part in an international tri-series for his country.After a four-month lay-off Bond was keen to maintain the momentum he has gained since returning for the West Indies tour to bridge the gap of non-activity New Zealand faces before it plays in the ICC Champions Trophy tournament in Sri Lanka in September.His contract involves him playing three four-day matches in the County Championship and one one-day match in the Norwich Union League.In his six Test matches since making his debut against Australia in November last year, Bond has taken 26 wickets at 25.19.New Zealand Cricket operations manager John Reid said: “New Zealand Cricket has agreed to allow Shane the opportunity to play some cricket for Warwickshire because we believe it will provide him with excellent preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka in September.”The TelstraClear Black Caps first match in the ICC Champions Trophy is against Australia in Colombo on September 15.”This is a knock-out tournament. We must win that first match if we are to progress so we want Shane to be in the best possible condition for that match,” said Reid. “After a four month injury lay-off he needs to maintain the momentum he has developed during the current tour of the West Indies.Bond’s manager, Geoff Allott, supported New Zealand Cricket’s decision: “As the West Indies series has progressed Shane has started to find his rhythm again and, in terms of his preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy, he will benefit far more from match-play for Warwickshire than he would back in New Zealand where his preparation would be restricted to indoor net bowling.”Bond will return to New Zealand after the West Indies tour and the New Zealand Cricket medical team will be conducting a thorough assessment of his physical fitness, before confirming his availability for Warwickshire.”Shane’s re-introduction to cricket after his foot injury has been well managed and we want to ensure this continues,” said Reid.Under his contract with Warwickshire, Bond will have a managed workload where he will be restricted to bowling a maximum of 20 overs per day.

Everton transfer update on Saint-Maximin

Some Everton fans have been left begging for the signing of Allan Saint-Maximin as a transfer update emerged.

As per The Daily Mirror, Rafa Benitez could make a £50m move for the Newcastle United star if Richarlison ends up going to Real Madrid to reunite with former Toffees manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Saint-Maximin is known for his exceptional dribbling ability, having recorded the second-most successful dribbles (3.8) per game in the Premier League last 2020/21, bettered only by Wolves speedster Adama Traore with 4.1 (WhoScored).

£50m is admittedly a lot of money to pay, especially for Everton, but the Frenchman is more than capable of bringing the X-factor to Merseyside. Also, at just 24 years of age, he could turn out to be a solid purchase for several years to come.

Rogério Ceni tem dúvida por Cueva e intenção de poupar lateral-esquerdo

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo deve chegar modificado para mais um confronto eliminatório da Copa do Brasil. Nesta terça-feira, o técnico Rogério Ceni aplicou o único trabalho tático antes de enfrentar o duelo de volta com o ABC, válido pela terceira fase, e manteve a dúvida sobre a participação de Cueva como titular. Além disso, Júnior pode ser preservado.

A intenção de poupar Júnior se dá pelo fato do garoto de 20 anos ser o único lateral-esquerdo de ofício no elenco. Assim, fez 11 dos 13 jogos do time na temporada, sendo titular e atuando 90 minutos nos quatro últimos. Buffarini, então, pode ser usado na esquerda, com Bruno voltando à direita.

A atividade foi realizada no mesmo palco do confronto, o estádio Frasqueirão, em Natal. Depois de um período com portões fechados, torcedores e jornalistas puderam entrar no local para acompanhar o treinamento, que contou com breve movimentação técnica, um trabalho tático e outro de finalizações, já sem boa parte dos atletas.

O tático foi precedido por conversa de Ceni com os jogadores, que estavam divididos entre os sem colete e os de colete azul. Além deles, Cueva, que se recupera de dores na coxa esquerda, estava de amarelo para atuar como coringa. O time sem colete tinhaBuffarini, Lugano, Rodrigo Caio, Júnior, Wellington, Thiago Mendes, Lucas Fernandes, Welligton Nem, Luiz Araújo e Chavez. A outra equipe trabalhou com Bruno, Lyanco, Lucão, João Schmidt, Araruna, Cícero, Shaylon, Neilton, Léo Natel e Gilberto.

Os 11 que entrarão em campo nesta quarta sairão de uma mistura das duas escalações.Há ainda a dúvida sobre os goleiros, mas a tendência é que Denis comece como titular mais uma vez. As baixas para o confronto são os lesionados Pratto, Maicon e Sidão, o volante Wesley, que iniciou preparação física nesta terça em São Paulo, e o trio Douglas, Breno e Jucilei, por opção.

Um time provável tem Denis, Bruno, Lugano, Rodrigo Caio e Buffarini; João Schmidt, Thiago Mendes e Cícero; Cueva (Wellington Nem), Luiz Araújo e Gilberto.
