Cuca já tem esboço do Palmeiras para a Libertadores; saiba qual é o time

MatériaMais Notícias

Cuca já tem a base do time que escalará no dia 9 de agosto, contra o Barcelona (EQU), na decisão da vaga às quartas de finais da Libertadores. Dos 11 que começaram a partida de sábado, contra o Avaí, o técnico tem duas dúvidas: sobre a utilização de Thiago Santos e a condição de Guerra, que saiu no primeiro tempo, com dores na coxa direita.

Caso o venezuelano não tenha lesão, a escalação é: Jailson; Mayke, Mina, Luan e Egídio; Bruno Henrique, Jean e Guerra (Thiago Santos); Róger Guedes, Dudu e Deyverson. Na quarta, contra o Botafogo, será o último teste deste time antes da Libertadores, e provavelmente com Thiago como titular.

A intenção do treinador era, no decorrer do último jogo tirar provavelmente Jean para a entrada de Thiago Santos e assim testar a equipe com um jogador mais marcador. Iniciar sem um atleta assim foi uma opção pela estratégia do Avaí, que jogou mais fechado. Com a vantagem do empate, o Barcelona deve realizar algo parecido no Allianz Parque.

– Quando você coloca o time assim (contra o Avaí), nota o quanto vai te fazer falta um volante ou não. No caso o Thiago (Santos). Era jogo para talvez eu ter posto um pouco ele se não perco o Mina. Ia tirar um volante, colocar o Thiago e adianta o Bruno (Henrique) para ter uma noção, mas faço isso no próximo jogo, para que a gente possa ir fortalecido ao Rio e ter uma ideia mais firme. Depois poupo o time ou parte dele contra o Atlético-PR – explicou o comandante.

Na última vitória fora de casa, contra o Sport, o Verdão jogou com Thiago, Jean e Bruno Henrique no meio-campo e foi bem. Raphael Veiga é outra opção para a armação, caso Guerra fique fora. Mas embora tenha entrado bem nas últimas duas partidas, o camisa 20 dificilmente começará o jogo da Libertadores. Moisés, que está praticamente recuperado de uma cirurgia no joelho, é outra opção também remota, caso Guerra não jogue.

O Verdão terá dois dias de treinos antes de enfrentar o Bota, pela 18ª rodada do Brasileiro. Depois, inicia os preparativos para a Libertadores. No domingo, o último jogo do primeiro turno, contra o Atlético-PR, no Allianz Parque, já deve ser com uma equipe bastante modificada.

O clube ainda vai divulgar sua programação, mas a primeira parte dos treinos para o dia 9 será na Academia de Futebol. Nos últimos dias, Cuca e o elenco vão se concentrar em Atibaia, como já ocorreu algumas vezes em 2016. Após perder por 1 a 0 em Guayaquil, o time precisa ganhar por dois gols de diferença para se classificar na Libertadores, a principal meta do Verdão no ano.

Maksim Paskotsi can save Spurs millions

At the age of just 18, Tottenham Hotspur’s academy defender Maksim Paskotsi has already become a regular for his national side, Estonia.

He’s yet to break through into the first team under Nuno Santo, though he has made his senior debut this campaign after featuring regularly during pre-season, but he could be someone that saves the north Londoners a lot of money in the future.

Capable of playing in the middle, as well as on the right, Paskotski has clinched nine caps since March 2021 and this week, he impressed to help Thomas Häberli’s side to a clean sheet against Belarus before being defeated by Joe Rodon and Gareth Bale’s Wales side.

The Spurs teenager was deployed at right-back in the former clash, where he provided one key pass (only bettered by two players on the whole pitch), made four clearances and registered two tackles, as per WhoScored.

His performance caught the eye of the Lilywhites faithful, many of whom were left swooning over the emerging talent in their youth ranks.

Some called for him to be promoted into the first-team setup, whilst others claimed he was better than Matt Doherty – and even Sergio Ramos, as relayed by The Boot Room.

The latter reaction may be a little far-fetched at this stage but there’s no reason that Paskotsi shouldn’t be involved in Nuno’s senior side in some form. After all, they remain in all cup competitions and will have plenty of fixtures ahead thanks to the UEFA Conference League.

His versatility could be very useful to Nuno as he’s able to provide cover for their central defensive options, whilst being a firm choice to rival Japhet Tanganga and the rarely-used Matt Doherty behind Emerson Royal at right-back.

The young Estonian beast is shades of Jan Vertonghen in this sense and that’s the sort of player that the Portuguese is currently lacking in defence – someone capable of filling in wherever and whenever he’s needed.

He’s somewhat been a big goal threat, too, having found the net five times in 20 appearances for the U18s since arriving from FC Flora Tallinn. Again, further comparisons could be made to the Belgian utility defender.

Football talent scout Jacek Kulig once dubbed him “one of the most talented players in Estonia” and likened his playing style to Manchester United’s summer signing Raphael Varane, with the teen’s key attributes being tackling and intercepting, pace and aerial ability.

Whether he’s half the player of either, Spurs will be getting one hell of a talent, should Nuno unleash him in the senior side anytime soon.

Paskotsi could be his very own Varane.

Two-leg IPL could have been held in India – minister

The 2009 season of the IPL could have been held in India had the tournament’s organisers listened to suggestions and not put pressure on the government, India’s home minister P Chidambaram has said

The 2009 season of the IPL could have been held in India had the tournament’s organisers listened to suggestions and not put pressure on the government, India’s home minister P Chidambaram has said. The Twenty20 tournament was shifted to South Africa after the Indian government said it could not guarantee adequate security because of a clash of dates with the country’s general elections.”We could have done it [held the tournament in India], but only if they [IPL officials] had reflected on the concerns of the police and not tried to pressurise the [state] chief ministers,” Chidambaram told the news channel CNN-IBN. “I am not letting out any secret by that. If they had only listened to the concerns of the police, this tournament could have been played in two parts. First the league part and then give a break for the critical three or four week period and then the knock-out part.””But they were trying to be too clever by putting the pressure on chief ministers and ultimately the police told the chief ministers that ‘sorry, we cannot provide security’.”However, the IPL organisers had said that it was not possible to play the tournament in two parts because of a clash with the World Twenty20 in England in June and a packed international schedule thereafter. The IPL was initially scheduled to be held in India between April 10 and May 24; it will now start in South Africa on April 18.

Doug Bollinger’s impressive five-wicket haul in Abu Dhabi on Friday has kept alive his chances of being part of the Ashes campaign. Bollinger, who took 5 for 35 in the series-sealing fourth game, hoped the performance could be the platform for an England tour.”It is a dream [to play in the Ashes], every young cricketer in Australia wants to achieve that as it is the best competition Australia can play and every player wants to be successful there,” he told AFP. “This can be it [the platform] but I just take it day by day. I get the next opportunity and make sure that I grab it with both hands and if it’s the Ashes it would be great.”Bollinger made his Test debut on his home ground in Sydney in January, but he was not used during the following series in South Africa. The Ashes squad is due to be named this month for the campaign starting in Cardiff on July 8.Bollinger was pleased to have played a part in the one-day series victory under Michael Clarke’s leadership. “It’s fantastic,” Bollinger said after only his second ODI. “It is great to win the series and I am very excited and will remember this for my whole life.”

West Ham fans hail Dawson display

As West Ham United breezed past Genk at the London Stadium this evening, taking yet more control of Group H, many Irons supporters were blown away by the performance and contribution of defender Craig Dawson.

David Moyes’ men took a giant leap towards finishing top by beating the Belgian giants this evening.

Indeed, they have gone six points clear with their victory and, as per the new Europa League format, potentially finishing as group victors will guarantee West Ham a spot straight into the last 16.

Moyes rested a fair few first teamers tonight with the likes of Manuel Lanzini, Andriy Yarmolenko, Nikola Vlasic, Alphonse Areola and Dawson all coming in after the weekend victory at Everton.

Among all of these fresh faces, it was the latter man who garnered real praise on Twitter for his display – especially considering he opened the floodgates with his towering first half header.

He was also among the highest-rated West Ham players on SofaScore and it’s safe to say his ‘massive’ display didn’t go unnoticed.

Find all the reaction to his outing down below.

أنشيلوتي: ريال مدريد سيُقاتل من أجل السداسية.. ولن ننخدع بهزيمة فرانكفورت أمام بايرن ميونخ

شدد المدرب الإيطالي، كارلو أنشيلوتي، المدير الفني لنادي ريال مدريد، على أن فريقه لن ينخدع بالهزيمة الكبيرة التي تلقاها فريق آينتراخت فرانكفورت من بايرن ميونخ، وذلك خلال حديثه أمام وسائل الإعلام قبل مباراة السوبر الأوروبي.

ويُقام السوبر الأوروبي بين ريال مدريد وآينتراخت فرانكفورت، مساء غد الأربعاء على ملعب “هلنسكي الأولمبي”، وتنطلق المباراة في تمام الساعة التاسعة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة، العاشرة بتوقيت مكة المُكرمة.

وقال أنشيلوتي في المؤتمر الصحفي الخاص بالمباراة: “هزيمة فرانكفورت 6-1 من بايرن ميونخ؟ لم أر تلك المباراة والنتيجة لن تخدعنا”.

وواصل: “كان لدى آينتراخت مشوار رائع في الدوري الأوروبي، واستحقوا الفوز بها لأنهم لعبوا بشكل جيد للغاية، نحن نُقاتل ونلعب بشكل جيد، الاستعداد للموسم كان جيدًا للغاية ونصل بثقة”.

وعن وجود فرانكفورت بين أندية الوسط في ألمانيا: “بايرن ميونخ لديه ميزانية وتنظيم وتاريخ أكبر من باقي الفرق، هذا ما يحدث في كرة القدم الألمانية والعديد من البلدان الأخرى مثل إيطاليا.. الموازنة أمر معقد للغاية”.

وأضاف: “السداسية؟ هذا ممكن، سنقاتل من أجل جميع المسابقات تمامًا، ليس لدي شك في ذلك؛ لكن الفوز بها سيكون أكثر تعقيدًا، لا أعرف ما إذا كنا سننجح، لأن الأمر صعب للغاية، لكن الفريق جيد للغاية ولدي ثقة كبيرة في اللاعبين لقد تحسّنا عن العام الماضي، وسننافس ونُقاتل”.

وردًا على “كيف يكون هذا الفريق أفضل من الموسم الماضي؟” قال: “لقد قمنا بتعاقدين جيدين من الناحية البدنية والفنية، لا شيء أكثر، كانت الكيمياء بين المحاربين القدامى والشباب أحد مفاتيح نجاح العام الماضي ويمكن أن تستمر إلى أبعد من ذلك هذا العام، لأننا اعتدنا أكثر للعيش معًا، روديجر وتشواميني يضيفا إلى الجودة واللياقة البدنية”.

وأردف: “نحن هُنا بسبب العمل الذي قام به أولئك الذين فازوا بدوري الأبطال، سأعتمد على الفريق الذي فاز في باريس، أولئك الموجودين معي هنا سيلعبون”.

وبسؤاله: “كيف تطمح للفوز بلقب آخر؟ وهل سمح رحيل رونالدو أن يُظهر بنزيما إمكاناته الكاملة؟”، قال: “نحن مستعدون للفوز باللقب والفوز دائمًا أمر مميز”.

وأشار: “أنا لا أنظر إلى الإحصائيات، فهي ليست مهمة؛ أنا أستمتع بلاعبي فريقي”.

وبسؤاله “هل بنزيما بحاجة إلى مُهاجم بديل؟”، أجاب: “لدينا الكثير من المهاجمين، هازارد، رودريجو، ماريانو وأسينسيو من الواضح أنه عندما يغيب أفضل مهاجم في العالم، فإن ذلك يؤثر على الفريق، لكن نحن لدينا حلول، استبدال كريم أمر مستحيل، لا يوجد لاعب في العالم يستطيع، إذا أُصيب بالإمساك، سنتأقلم”.

واختتم تصريحاته: “أعتقد أنه كان أفضل موسم في مسيرتي، لم أفز أبدًا بالدوري ودوري أبطال أوروبا في نفس العام، لقد حصلنا عليهما بفضل العديد من العوامل وفزنا على فرق قوية للغاية”.

Xodó no Flamengo, Vinicius Jr celebra gol histórico e se arrisca no espanhol

MatériaMais Notícias

A noite da última quarta-feira certamente vai ficar marcada para sempre na memória de Vinicius Jr. Além de ter feito seu primeiro gol pelos profissionais, entrou para história, sendo o primeiro atleta nascido nos anos 2000 a marcar em uma competição sul-americana. O camisa 20 falou sobre a comemoração.

– Meu pai sempre falava nos jogos: “Vai sair hoje, vai sair hoje”. Ontem ele falou e não deu outra. Levou todo mundo da família para o jogo e depois jantamos para comemorar. Todo mundo saiu feliz.

No elenco, Vinicius é tratado como um xodó por todos e falou sobre os bastidores. O garoto citou os amigos da base e também a tranquilidade que Diego passa para ele no dia a dia.

– Ser o xodó é tranquilo. O grupo brinca bastante eles me ajudam muito, Vizeu, Paquetá e Thiago sempre estão juntos. Diego sempre me passa tranquilidade. Desde que cheguei me passaram confiança e quando chegar no mano a mano ir pra cima. Todo mundo ajuda. Vizeu me dá muita força quando estou um pouco desanimado.

Com a possibilidade da chegada de Reinaldo Rueda e também com o futuro no Real Madrid, Vinicius ainda não está muito entrosado com o espanhol e arriscou duas frases apenas.

Não sei muito bem não. Só “buenos días” e “buenas tardes” (risos). Conversei com Berrío, e ele falou que é um cara que preza o grupo. Faz bastante reduzido com a bola e dá moral para quem veio da base.

Por fim, o garoto voltou a falar sobre o primeiro gol e agradeceu a torcida do Flamengo, que sempre mandou força através das redes sociais.

– Nada melhor que fazer na Ilha com a torcida do Flamengo, que sempre vem me ajudando e me pedindo para mandar mensagens nas redes sociais.

توتي يحدد سعرًا خياليًا لـ محمد صلاح ويؤكد: توقعت تألقه قبل رحيله إلى ليفربول

أشاد قائد ونجم إيطاليا وروما السابق فرانشيسكو توتي، بالنجم المصري محمد صلاح جناح ليفربول الإنجليزي، وأكد أنه تنبأ بتألقه قبل مغادرته للجيلاروسي وانضمامه للريدز.

وتألق صلاح بقميص روما وزامل توتي، قبل أن يعتزل الأخير، وينضم المصري إلى ليفربول.

وفي حديثه مع برنامج “صاحبة السعادة” عبر قناة “دي أم سي” قال توتي: “قبل أن يكون لاعبا كبيرا هو شخص رائع ومتواضع ويساعد الجميع ومهذب لا يمكنك سوى أن تحبه”.

وأضاف: “محمد صلاح يتواجد مع الجميع ويساعدهم، لا يفعل شيء غير لائق لذلك هو من أهم النجوم على مستوى العالم”.

وأكد توتي: “عند رحيله عن روما توقعت تحقيقه هذا النجاح، لقد قدم بطولة دوري رائعة معنا، وتطور وتحسن وعلمت أنه إذا ذهب لفريق أكبر سيكون لاعب أهم كما هو الآن”.

وأردف بشأن علاقته بمحمد صلاح والمواقف التي جمعت بينهما: “لا يوجد قصص كثيرة بيني وبينه هو يركز في حياته”.

وأوضح: “يعود لأسرته بعد التدريبات، بعض الأحيان نجتمع على العشاء، لم يفعل شيء غير معتاد أو غريب، حديثي ليس مجاملة هذا كلام حقيقي”.

وسُئل توتي إذا كان مالكًا لأحد الأندية في الوقت الحالي وقرر التعاقد مع صلاح، فكم سيكون ثمن شرائه للمحترف المصري، وأجاب الإيطالي: “الآن أشتري صلاح بـ150 أو 200 مليون يورو”.

Middlesex experience invaluable for Hughes

Phillip Hughes believes his county stint with Middlesex will prove the perfect preparation for the Ashes

Phillip Hughes believes his county stint with Middlesex will prove the perfect preparation for the Ashes. The Australian opener, whose only previous tour to England was with the New South Wales Under-17 team, compiled three County Championship centuries and insists the exposure to local pitch conditions and bowlers will serve him well ahead of the five-Test series.”I thoroughly enjoyed it and the preparation has been great,” Hughes told AAP. “The big thing that came out of it was that I played at three Test grounds I’m going to be playing on and got to experience them before this big series coming up.”Lord’s was my home ground there for Middlesex and I played at The Oval as well and Edgbaston. It couldn’t have really worked out any better. The big thing was just going over there to experience the whole different culture really, the weather, the wickets and the bowlers as well.”Hughes invited comparisons with Sir Donald Bradman after scoring an astonishing 574 runs in just five first-class innings. Bradman, at the age of 21, totalled 556 runs in as many innings in 1930.”The rise to the top level has been very fast for me,” Hughes said. “I’m 20 years of age and it’s all happened like a bang. It is flattering [to be compared with] the world’s best player and the best player anyone’s ever seen.”Hughes’ comments came on the same day that Clark confirmed his intention to link with Gloucestershire. Both players caused controversy in March when senior England officials argued they should not be allowed to play county cricket in an Ashes year. Andrew Strauss, the England captain and recent team-mate of Hughes at Middlesex, was among those to bemoan counties providing assistance to Australian players.
