Fazal Mahmood’s 13 wickets during the first meeting between the two teams swung it Pakistan’s way•Getty Images
1956-57 The mighty Australians were on their way back from a tour of England when they made a stopover to play one Test in Karachi against the babies of cricket. Pakistan had been a Test nation for only four years but Fazal Mahmood and Khan Mohammad were almost unplayable on the Karachi track, dismissing the visitors for 80, after they chose to bat. The wicket did take vicious turn on the second day and captain Ian Johnson took four to bowl out the hosts for 199. Mahmood continued at his hostile best next up, to bowl out Australia for under 200 – finishing with 13 wickets in the match. The 69 runs required for a win, were scored at a snail’s pace. Pakistan should have wrapped things up on the fourth day but ended up needing six runs to win on the last. Pakistan 1 Australia 0
1959-60 Australia put in more improved display on their second arrival in Pakistan. Heavy showers prior to the first Test in Dhaka rendered it impossible being played on grass and the spin of Richie Benaud and Ken McKay on the matting pitch handed them the series lead. In Lahore, Australia won by seven wickets, thanks to Lindsay Kline’s clever chinaman bowling, and clinched the series – the first country to win a Test rubber in Pakistan. A drab drawn third Test followed in Karachi, which marked the debut of Intikhab Alam. Dwight D Eisenhower became the first US president to see Test cricket, watching proceeedings on the fourth day. Pakistan 0 Australia 2 1964-65 Australia were buoyed on their third visit by captain Bob Simpson, who hit a century in each innings, and Garth McKenzie’s fine bowling. Khalid Ibadulla became the first Pakistani to score a hundred on his Test debut. Pakistan introduced six new players to Test Cricket, while Hanif Mohammad captained his country for the first time. Having taken a 62-run lead, Pakistan declared on the final morning, leaving Australia 342 to win in ten minutes under five hours on a still plumb pitch. Simpson and Bill Lawry accepted the challenge in a brisk opening stand, but a stalemate was the eventual result. Pakistan 0 Australia 0
1964-65 Pakistan recovered from early shocks after being sent into bat in their first Test in Australia. Hanif played two brilliant innings of 104 and 93, although taking the cautious route on the last day instead of setting a reasonable task. McKenzie and Hawke bowled well for Australia and with Sincock caused the last five Pakistan first-innings wickets to fall for 62. Australia once again showed their batting strength and the two middle-order left-handers, Bob Cowper and Tom Veivers, produced some sparkling strokes. Right-arm fast bowler Arif Butt persevered for Pakistan and did well in taking six wickets for 89. Australia 0 Pakistan 0
1972-73 Pakistan were comprehensively beaten on their second trip to Australia and the inadequate preparation was clearly visible. The first match in Adelaide witnessed unfavourable publicity concerning umpire Norman Townsend standing in his first Test. But Ashley Mallett’s 8 for 59 proved decisive even as Pakistan opener Talat Ali took the match into the final day, batting one-handed due to a broken right thumb suffered in Lillee’s second over of the Test. In Melbourne, Pakistan missed out on a win after getting into a favourable position. On a wicket heavily sedated in favour of batsmen, Pakistan needed 293 runs in five and a half hours only to collapse for 200 runs in their second innings. Pakistan’s lack of Test inexperience showed in the final match in Sydney as well, as their batsmen were overwhelmed by the occasion. On a green and responsive wicket, the Pakistan quicks Saleem Altaf and Sarfraz Nawaz gave them a chance to regain prestige, but the batsmen fall to a remarkable piece of swing bowling by Max Walker who took six wickets to complete the clean sweep. Australia 3 Pakistan 0
1976-77 A dispute over pay hampered Pakistan’s preparations for the tour but they departed a much happier lot, recording their first Test win in Australia. An understrength squad was named, before political intervention and a new selection panel restored normality. The Australians suffered a major setback in the first Test in Adelaide when Jeff Thomson collided with Alan Turner and badly injured his bowling shoulder and that ruled him out of the series. After conceding a big first-innings lead, Pakistan managed a tight draw in Adelaide thanks to Asif Iqbal’s defiant century. However, Dennis Lillee vanquished them with a ten-wicket haul in Melbourne to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. But the third Test at the SCG was all about Imran Khan and Sarfraz Nawaz. The pair shared 18 wickets between them with Imran taking 12 of those. Iqbal’s century gave Pakistan a sizeable first-innings lead before his strike seam bowlers set up an easy eight-wicket win. The tour was also a PR success for Pakistan, who won the respect of the Australian public for their showing in Sydney. Australia 1 Pakistan 1The Miandad-Lillee scuffle at the WACA was one of the most undignified incidents in Test history•ESPNcricinfo Ltd
1978-79 Pakistan arrived in the country following their tour of New Zealand, where they won the Tests 1-0. At the MCG, they were headed towards a series-opening defeat but Sarfraz Nawaz had other ideas. With Australia needing 77 on the final evening with seven wickets in hand, Sarfraz bowled one of the finest spells in Test history, taking seven wickets for one run in 33 balls, finishing with 9 for 86. At the WACA, Pakistan never really recovered from the loss of half the side for 90 runs in the opening session of play after being sent in to bat. Australia, on the other hand, were much encouraged by brilliant batting and fielding from the recalled Rick Darling, the Man of the Match, and achieved a comfortable win within the last hour of play. However, derogatory comments by Asif Iqbal on the eve of the Melbourne Test on the standards of the Australian and England teams in their series created ill-feeling that manifested itself in several incidents during the two Tests. Australia 1 Pakistan 11979-80 The lead-up to the tour was hit by financial problems but eventually, the guarantee was improved from A$94,000 to A$150,000. However, the number of matches was reduced from eight to five, comprising three Tests and two three-day games. It was Javed Miandad’s first series as captain, following the retirement of Asif Iqbal. The series featured two boring draws after Pakistan took the first Test in Karachi by seven wickets. Iqbal Qasim and debutant Tauseef Ahmed shared 18 wickets between them in a match dominated by spinners – Australia’s Ray Bright took seven in one innings. The conditions were unforgiving for the bowlers in Faisalabad as only two innings were possible. Greg Chappell and Taslim Arif hit double-hundreds and for the first time in Tests, all 11 players (Australia) bowled. Pakistan nearly attempted that tactic in the third game in Lahore (10 bowled), another batsman-dominated match. Pakistan 1 Australia 01981-82 The three-Test series was marred by what described as one of the most undignified incidents in Test history – the Lillee-Miandad mid-pitch scuffle at Perth. Lillee kicked the batsman after a collision and Miandad responded by threatening to hit him with his bat. It was not what the series opener needed, as for Pakistan too as this incident occurred when they were left to chase a daunting 543. Lillee and Greg Chappell combined to dominate the tourists in the second Test at the Gabba to take the series. However, the Australians failed to sweep the series in Melbourne, where they were rolled over by an innings. The Pakistan top order found form to post an imposing 500, which was enough to enforce the follow on. Iqbal Qasim had the best returns among the Pakistanis, and his 4 for 44 bundled out the hosts for 125. In the World Series Cup, Pakistan only narrowly missed reaching the final with West Indies. Australia 2 Pakistan 11982-83 Australia’s tour of Pakistan in late 1982 was wobbly before it even started, with several big names opting to sit it out, and almost nothing went right from the moment Kim Hughes’ side landed, culminating in a 3-0 whitewash. Crowd trouble marred the first Test in Karachi, which Pakistan won by nine wickets. After two incidents, an angry Hughes threatened to scrap the tour then and there. There was worse to come in the ODI at the same venue, which was abandoned, which led to riots spilling into the streets. The Australians proved ill-equipped to cope with a Pakistan side beginning to exert its international authority under the leadership of Imran Khan. Australia lost the second Test by an innings and the third game in Lahore by nine wickets. Pakistan’s varied attack caused problems, with Abdul Qadir taking 22 wickets. The one-day series featured the first ever hat-trick in a ODI, by Pakistan’s Jalal-ud-Din in Hyderabad. Pakistan 3 Australia 0 1983-84 Pakistan’s acting captain Zaheer Abbas’ decision to field first on a Perth track that had enough grass on it to encourage the home side’s four fast bowlers proved the wrong one as Australia made 330 for 3 on day one. Wayne Phillips and Graham Yallop added 259 in 267 minutes, a record stand for Australia for any wicket against Pakistan. Australia were eventually contained on a curtailed second day, but Pakistan lost four wickets for 24 before stumps. Pakistan never recovered from their bad start and were forced to follow-on. Carl Rackemann finished with match figures of 11 for 118 and was named Man of the Match. Zaheer opted to bat in gloomy Brisbane, and Pakistan were all out for 156 on a first day which saw three interruptions that restricted play by 125 minutes. Eight wickets fell to edged catches. Centuries to Greg Chappell and Allan Border helped Australia to 7 for 509, after which heavy rain curtailed the match during Pakistan’s second innings.The match in Adelaide produced one of the more remarkable recoveries in modern Test cricket as Pakistan moved to within measurable distance of beating Australia on the last day. Kepler Wessels and Border formed the crux of Australia’s 465. Mohsin Khan, Qasim Umar and Javed Miandad struck centuries, Lillee took six out of a reply of 624. Pakistan’s total was their highest against Australia, and the most runs conceded by Australia since The Oval Test of 1938 Lillee was the best of the Australian bowlers, taking six for 171 on an easy paced pitch. Australia batted out a draw. Pakistan escaped with a draw in Melbourne, setting up the final match as a decider. It was a memorable one, which the hosts won by ten wickets on a day Australia bade farewell to Lillee, Greg Chappell and Rod Marsh. Australia 2 Pakistan 0
1988-89 Pakistan crushed Australian by an innings in Karachi. Shoaib Mohammad and Miandad established the Pakistan innings with a fine third-wicket stand of 196 in 279 minutes, after which Miandad moved to his eighteenth Test hundred and then to his fifth Test-match double-hundred – all five made against different countries. Iqbal Qasim demolished Australia’s top order on a work track, claiming 4 for 14 in one spell; Australia followed-on, 304 runs behind, and slipped to 66 for 5. An hour and a half on the final morning was all the time Pakistan needed to record their largest victory in Tests. Given the circumstances in which it was gained, it was not necessarily the most meritorious. After a dull draw in Faisalabad, Australia nearly squared the series on a tense final day in Lahore. Border set Pakistan a target of 269 and left his bowlers five hours in which to dismiss them. Pakistan never accepted the challenge, but when they slipped to 131 for 7 with 16 overs remaining, it got close. Ijaz Ahmed, who batted almost two hours for his 15, and Iqbal kept the Australians at bay for another 11 overs, and Iqbal (77 minutes) and Tauseef Umar provided the final resistance. Pakistan1 Australia 0
1989-90 The beginning of the nineties featured matches between the two teams that were more closely-contested than the decade prior. The three-match series in Australia in 1989-90 was played on competitive tracks with both bowlers and batsmen allowed their share of success. Australia’s bowlers won their team the game in the first Test at the MCG, with Terry Alderman, Carl Rackemann and Merv Hughes skittling Pakistan out for 107 in the first innings. Mark Taylor then cracked a century to extend Australia’s lead and set Pakistan 429 for victory. Ijaz Ahmed led the response and set the tone for a hugely successful career against Australia but his determined 121 was unable to stave off a 92-run defeat. However, as often in Australia, the umpiring was the subject of criticism with six lbw decisions going the home team’s way in the second innings.A see-saw encounter on a lively pitch in Adelaide continued the enthralling contest, as Pakistan, boosted by centuries from Imran Khan and Wasim Akram gained the upper hand going into the final day. But the game belonged to Dean Jones, who scored a century in each innings to thwart a comeback and retain Australia’s lead, which won them the series after a rain-affected draw in Sydney.

1994-95 The series began with one of the great Test matches. Pakistan’s one-wicket win in Karachi would be recalled as much for the thriller it proved to be, as for the allegations of match-fixing against Pakistan captain Saleem Malik by Shane Warne. Pakistan were the underdogs after conceding an 81-run lead on the first innings but Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, not for the first time, triggered a collapse, taking nine wickets between them to leave their batsmen chasing a target of 315. Pakistan were comfortably placed at the end of the fourth day – and it was on this day that Malik allegedly made his infamous telephone call to Warne and Mark Waugh, offering them money to play badly – at 155 for 3.Warne hit back on a nerve-wracking final day, taking a five-for and at 258 for 9, with only Inzamam-ul-Haq to rely on, Pakistan were staring at defeat. But it was Ian Healy, the wicketkeeper, who made the ultimate difference, missing a stumping off Inzamam with three needed for victory.” I couldn’t believe it,” Healy said. “While my team-mates choked on appeals and held their heads, in total despair I kicked over the stumps.” Two high-scoring draws later, that lapse would cost his team the series. Pakistan 1 Australia 01995-96 The gap between the teams began to widen in the middle of the decade, as Pakistan were demolished by Shane Warne in the first Test in Brisbane. Warne grabbed 11 wickets, including a seven-for in the first innings, to prevent any possibility of a fightback after Australia imposed the follow-on. Saleem Malik, this time, was the object of much abuse from fans and players alike in the aftermath of the allegations that surfaced after the Karachi Test. His dismissal to Warne for nought was as satisfying to the home team as the lop-sided result. Pakistan’s batting failed them again in the second Test in Hobart where, despite the absence of Warne, the batsmen were unable to cash in on impressive performances from their bowlers. The result was a 155-run defeat and the series lost. However, the rubber ended on a high for the visitors as Mushtaq Ahmed’s leg spin won them the third Test in Sydney by 74 runs. Australa 2 Pakistan 11998-99 Australia continued to stamp their dominance, this time on Pakistan soil, inflicting the first series defeat on their opponents in their own backyard for the first time since 1986-87. Pakistan played as a loose group of individuals and Australia as a tight unit in the only outright result in the rubber, in the first Test in Rawalpindi. Australia cashed in on a turning track through Stuart MacGill, Pakistan didn’t. After bowling out the hosts for 269 in the first innings, centuries from Michael Slater and Steve Waugh boosted Australia to 513. Facing an intimidating lead, Pakistan’s batsmen failed to measure up to a collective bowling display, collapsing to 145 and losing by an innings and 99 runs.The next game, in Peshawar, was a high-scoring draw but one of great significance to Australia, as Mark Taylor chose to declare his team’s innings on an unbeaten 334, as a tribute to Don Bradman. Ijaz Ahmed notched up yet another century against his favourite opponents in the third Test, but only after a series victory for the visitors was the only result possible. Pakistan 0 Australia 11999-00 Australia, by this time, were arguably the best team in the world and the 3-0 series win was a part of their record 16-match winning streak under the leadership for the inspirational Steve Waugh. Damien Fleming grabbed nine wickets in the opening Test in Brisbane, and backed by Michael Slater and Waugh’s centuries along with a blazing 81 from Adam Gilchrist, Australia won by 10 wickets.The best game of the entire summer came in Hobart, when Australia chased 369 in a thrilling contest. What made Australia’s chase so extraordinary was their method of recovery from a slippery 126 for 5. Justin Langer dropped a heavy, stabilising anchor which allowed Adam Gilchrist near-total freedom. He exploded to one of his most thrilling hundreds, carving 149 from just 163 balls. It was not without controversy, however. Wasim Akram was left spitting nails at Peter Parker’s decision to not give Langer out caught behind early on the fifth morning. The bowler was inconsolably incensed, and the disappointment rubbed off on Pakistan’s morale. Thereafter, their tactics were strangely negative, allowing easy runs for both Langer and Gilchrist. Waugh hailed it as one of Australia’s greatest wins, while a devastated Wasim refused to turn up for the post-match press-conference. The cherry on the cake for Australia was a win inside three days in the final game in Perth. Australia 3 Pakistan 02002-03 A marvellous contest fell Australia’s way on the last day in Colombo after a feisty young Pakistan team almost conjured a miracle. The Australians had dominated until, in their second innings, a breathtaking spell of five wickets in 15 balls by Shoaib Akhtar turned the tide. Set a difficult 316 to win on the final two days, Pakistan were in striking distance at 187 for 3. But against unremitting bowling they fell short. Pakistan arrived in Sharjah comfortable with the familiar conditions and buoyed by their competitive performance in Colombo. But their mood would quickly darken as they slumped to a display that, even allowing for their reputation for spasmodic performances, could only be described as a shocker. In 125 years, Test cricket had produced only 16 two-day defeats; here, on a slow, flat pitch and against an Australian attack weakened by the absence of the injured Jason Gillespie, Pakistan subsided to the 17th. After Waqar Younis was granted his wish to bat first on one of world cricket’s most benign strips, the Pakistanis were rolled over for their lowest-ever score, a pathetic 59, three below their previous worst at Perth in 1981-82. They had lasted less than 32 overs. The final match, also in Sharjah, was a triumphant match for the Australians, collectively and individually. Pakistan were again comprehensively beaten, only just dragging the game into a fourth day; Glenn McGrath became the eighth man in Test history to reach 400 wickets; and Steve Waugh achieved redemption by hitting a thrilling century. Australia 3 Pakistan 0

Australia’s largest victory in terms of runs for over 70 years was achieved on the stroke of lunch on the fourth day in Perth after McGrath returned career-best figures of 8 for 24. Pakistan lost their last nine wickets in 21 overs for just 38 in a display their coach Bob Woolmer described as disgraceful. Australia’s ability to extricate themselves from a tight corner was well illustrated by a victory that clinched their fifth successive series win over Pakistan. When Michael Clarke was fifth out at 171 shortly before the end of the second day, they faced the likelihood of a first-innings deficit, possibly a large one, and the prospect of a difficult run-chase in the fourth innings. Barely five sessions later, they had won the series.Australia completed their third successive 3-0 whitewash of Pakistan, who had begun the match with their first century opening stand in this fixture for 22 years, before fading away yet again. From 193 for one they subsided to a below-par 304 all out on a slowish pitch, despite a fine maiden Test hundred from Salman Butt. After that they were always struggling to save the game. Stuart MacGill took a five-wicket haul in his first Test for nearly ten months, to take his record at Sydney to 40 wickets in six Tests, but no less decisive were outstanding innings by Ricky Ponting (who became only the third Australian, after Don Bradman and Greg Chappell, to score four Test double-hundreds) and Adam Gilchrist, whose 13th century passed Andy Flower’s Test record for a wicketkeeper. Australia 3 Pakistan 0
O técnico Fábio Carille classificou a semana do Corinthians como “perfeita”, e não é para menos. Em sete dias, o Timão saiu da situação de maior pressão e agora pode conquistar o Brasileirão já nesta quarta-feira. Tudo isso graças a três vitórias: sobre Palmeiras, Atlético-PR e Avaí. Nesses três confrontos, a equipe contou com o brilho de jogadores que vinham sendo contestados.
No Dérbi, quando o Palmeiras poderia diminuir a vantagem para apenas dois pontos, o atacante Romero abriu o caminho para a vitória alvinegra por 3 a 2, encerrando o jejum que durava desde o dia 12 de julho. O paraguaio chegou a ser reserva no jogo contra o Botafogo, duas rodadas antes, e ganhou sobrevida na equipe por conta da lesão de Marquinhos Gabriel.
Contra o Atlético-PR, foi a vez de Giovanni Augusto decidir. O meia saiu do banco de reservas no segundo tempo e fez o gol da vitória em Curitiba. O jejum dele era ainda maior, desde 29 de outubro do ano passado.
Por fim, Kazim brilhou no último sábado ao marcar de peito o gol da vitória sobre o Avaí. O gringo não balançava a rede adversária desde 18 de fevereiro.
– Eu fechei com os jogadores logo depois do jogo falando sobre isso. O Giovanni entrou em Curitiba e, além de ajudar no jogo, fez o gol decisivo. O Kazim tenho certeza de que se tiver mais oportunidades, melhora o jogo dele. Ele precisa de jogo, mas o Jô não está dando esse espaço, porque está fazendo um ano maravilhoso. Sei que se o Kazim ganhar ritmo, vai melhorar, mas não está tendo espaço para isso. Estou muito feliz mesmo. Sei o quanto esses jogadores ouviram. Teve jogo que coloquei o Giovanni e o estádio veio abaixo reclamando. Com o próprio Kazim também ouvi “Kazim não, Kazim não”. Não desisto de jogador, e eles estão retribuindo e dando a volta por cima – comemorou Carille, na entrevista coletiva após a vitória sobre o Avaí.
Com os gols de Giovanni e Kazim, o Corinthians chegou a 14 jogadores que marcaram neste Brasileirão. A dupla entra na lista que já contava com Jô, Rodriguinho, Jadson, Romero, Balbuena, Maycon, Clayson, Marquinhos Gabriel, Pedro Henrique, Gabriel, Guilherme Arana e até Clayton, que já deixou o clube.

Os 31 gols de Renan Gorne em 2016, pelo time de juniores, surtiram mais efeito para a torcida do que para ter chances no time principal. O centroavante virou xodó, mas teve apenas uma chance no Botafogo de Jair Ventura esse ano. Foi emprestado para o North Carolina, da NASL, paralela à MLS, principal liga de futebol dos Estados Unidos. Parecia que ficaria escondido, mas o atleta de 21 anos aproveitou a chance. Foram seis gols e duas assistências em 13 jogos. Ajudou a equipe americana a retornar ao mata-mata local após cinco anos, e ao fim da participação com a equipe da parte de cima do continente, ele se reapresenta novamente ao Glorioso esta semana, esperando, em 2018, ter sucesso semelhante. Agora vestindo preto e branco, como revela em entrevista exclusiva ao LANCE!.
– Volto para o Brasil como um jogador que conseguiu evoluir aqui, onde o futebol está crescendo muito. Consegui desenvolver muito minha parte física, tinha que aproveitar ao máximo. Volto mais preparado do que estava para, quem sabe, no ano que vem, ser aproveitado melhor no inicio e no restante da temporada – acredita.
Uma grande inspiração que Gorne pode ter está no próprio elenco do Glorioso. Igor Rabello era subutilizado e não tinha boas perspectivas para 2016. O zagueiro, porém, foi emprestado para o Náutico, onde teve grande participação. Retornou ao Alvinegro e está cada vez mais consolidado como titular.
– Com o Rabello eu jogava ano sim, ano não (na base). Ele é de 1995 e eu sou de 1996. A gente pega um exemplo desses e torce para que aconteça da mesma forma. Ele voltou com confiança, jogando bola e hoje é titular da posição. Espero voltar e seguir o que ele conseguiu. Temos que pegar exemplos positivos para nos motivarmos – crê.
Com a torcida do Botafogo, o ditado “Bobeou, dançou”, virou “Bobeou, Gorneou”. Em terras ianques não foi possível emplacar marca parecida, mas a hashtag #GorneintheUSA deu sorte.
– Não deu para brincar com o “bobeou, dançou”. Eles têm um ditado com o mesmo sentido, mas é “You snooze, you lose” (“cochilou, perdeu”, em tradução livre), aí não tinha como (risos). Já pensou? “You Gorneoose”? Mas a #GorneintheUSA a torcida fez até música – lembra, às gargalhadas.
BATE-BOLA: Como foi a adaptação? Já conhecia os EUA? Já falava inglês? Foi tranquila. Já tinha vindo aos EUA em 2010, com 14 anos. O Botafogo me emprestou para um intercâmbio na UFA Academy, um clube de formação, em Atlanta. Eu já fazia curso de inglês, mas lá eu melhorei muito. Estive também aqui em 2011, com a Seleção sub-15, para o Nike Friendlies. Em 2012, tive uma experiência no Manchester City (Inglaterra). Então, quando vim para os EUA esse ano, já falava bem.
Como foi com a torcida? O time não ia para os playoffs desde 2012, e você ajudou na campanha… Eu sabia que a torcida eu ia conquistar fazendo boas partidas. No meu primeiro jogo em casa eu fiz o primeiro gol e fui tendo boas atuações, e aí tive a torcida do meu lado. Eles sempre apoiavam, tinha uma relação mais próxima também. Meu irmão conheceu um torcedor que dizia: “eu ensino meu filho a torcer pelo time da cidade”. Estou muito feliz pela campanha do time e acho que pude contribuir. Outros jogadores também se empenharam bastante.
No último jogo você sofreu um choque forte com um adversário. Como foi? O nosso camisa 10 lançou a bola nas costas da defesa e, quando ia chutar, o zagueiro me empurrou. Bati a cabeça no joelho do goleiro e tive que sair. Não foi nada de grave, mas eu fiquei meio grogue, deu um susto.
Você acredita ter recuperado a confiança nesse período nos EUA? Acredito que jogador precisa estar jogando para estar bem fisicamente, e a confiança vem de acordo com as partidas. Eu sabia que era questão de tempo para adquirir a confiança no clube, porque quando eu vim eu sabia que era uma oportunidade, que contavam comigo. Pensei em fazer tudo tranquilo, sem pressão. A confiança, então, foi voltando, eu pude fazer esse fim de temporada como fiz. É importante para o jogador tem sequência de jogos para adquirir confiança. Graças a Deus eu pude jogar, crescer e ganhar confiança.
A torcida do Botafogo brinca com a sua semelhança com seu irmão. E lá? Quando meu irmão estava lá, ele e minha família ficaram num camarote. Íamos jogar e quem não era relacionado vai ia para camarote do clube. Teve um jogador que até brincou: “Olho para o campo, o Renan está no campo. Olho para o lado, o Renan está aqui (risos)”.
Conseguiu acompanhar os mata-matas do Botafogo? Acompanhei, sim. Lembro o jogo contra o Nacional-URU, no Nilton Santos (vitória por 2 a 0, nas oitavas de final). Eu fiquei assistindo no telefone, botei caixa de som… torci para caramba na Copa do Brasil, também. Queríamos os dois títulos…
E o drama do Roger? O Roger é um cara sensacional, chega sempre rindo, para cima. Quando eu soube da notícia, foi um baque. A gente não quer que as pessoas tenham isso. Que bom que ele pôde ter o diagnóstico cedo. Quando eu soube, fiquei triste, mandei apoio para ele e fico feliz que ele esteja recuperado, voltando a fazer o que gosta. Eu me espelho muito nele e desejo tudo de bom.

O Campeonato Brasileiro está chegando ao fim. Restam apenas oito rodadas para o término da dispúta, e o Vasco está perto de conquistar os seus sonhos da temporada, tão pedidos pelos torcedores vascaínos. Para isso, no clássico de sábado, com o Flamengo, o Cruz-Maltinho precisa vencer e, de quebra, terá uma rodada perfeita. Objetivos serão alcançados em uma hora decisiva para embalar nesta reta final de competição.
Os sonhos começam com a permanência na elite do Campeonato Brasileiro. Depois de rebaixamentos na competição em anos alternados, o Vasco, vencendo o Clássico dos Milhões, chegará aos 46 pontos, deixando de lado de uma vez a briga contra a Série B. Antes desta partida, de acordo com Gilcione Costa, matemático da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais e membro da Academia LANCE!, o clube tem 0.092% de chance de cair.
A perfeição da rodada com uma vitória do Vasco não para por aí. Além da permanência na elite do futebol brasileiro, o time comandado pelo técnico Zé Ricardo entrará no G7, zona de classificação para a Conmebol Libertadores de 2018. Tirando a vaga justamente do Flamengo, hoje sétimo colocado, mas que seria ultrapassado pelo Vasco, hoje oitavo na Série A, na tabela de classificação, pelo número de vitórias (atualmente empatado em 12).
E as motivações continuam ao Vasco. Nesta temporada, a equipe de São Januário já enfrentou o Flamengo em quatro oportunidades, mas ainda não venceu. São duas derrotas e dois empates. Ultrapassar o arquirrival, somado a estes outros objetivos citados pela rodada perfeita na busca dos sonhos cruz-maltinos da temporada, anima o meia Yago Pikachu. Ele, entretanto, lembrou da necessidade de o time manter a tranquilidade pela qualidade do adversário.
– É uma motivação a mais, temos oito jogos até o fim do campeonato e estamos próximos dos objetivos. Essa partida pode definir muita coisa. Claro que temos que ter tranquilidade, não ir no desespero, pois sabemos que enfrentaremos o Flamengo, uma equipe qualificada. Pensar em vencer e passar, o que nos coloca em uma posição muito favorável – afirmou o meia em entrevista coletiva após o treino na tarde da última quinta-feira, em São Januário.
Está em jogo a rodada perfeita para o Vasco. Com pouco mais de um mês para o término do Campeonato Brasileiro, será a maior chance de o time mostrar a sua grandeza e voltar a ser o Vasco que dá alegrias ao seu torcedor. Muita coisa está em jogo. A hora da definição chegou.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has delivered a worrying update on his Hoops side’s injury situation following the disappointing 0-0 draw to St Mirren on Wednesday night.
What’s the story?
The likes of Kyogo Furuhashi and Joe Hart were left out of the side in midweek, and speaking in his post-match press conference, Postecoglou was quick to insist that anyone who did miss out, was because they were either injured or suspended.
He said: “All of them were unavailable, none of them were rested. I don’t know where that came out. I don’t rest players, if they want a rest they can have a rest when they’re 45. Everyone who wasn’t playing tonight was unavailable. Either suspended or injured so that’s the case.”
Then, when asked whether any of them would potentially be back for the Boxing Day clash against St Johnstone, he added: “Not sure. We’ll see, it’s unlikely that anyone will definitely come back into it. There’s a couple who might be close but we’ll see over the next couple of days how they recover.”
Fans surely worried
With Hart and Furuhasi out, and the likes of David Turnbull, Jota, Giorgos Giakoumakis and James Forrest also missing, the Hoops find themselves in a bit of a tricky situation heading into the game against St Johnstone on Sunday.
That match will be the Hoops’ final game in the Scottish Premiership before the winter break, and with the title still very much up for grabs, a slip-up now could prove to be season-defining.
The draw against strugglers St Mirren was a misstep in itself, and anything but a win against bottom side St Johnstone at the weekend would be frankly unforgivable. After all, they are now six points behind their Old Firm rivals and are at risk of a bit of a collapse heading into the New Year period.
Celtic’s injury problems have begun to stack up right at the moment they could have done without it, and fans will surely be worried about the prospect of seeing their depleted team drop some more valuable points this Sunday.
Meanwhile, this Celtic man let Ange down vs St Mirren…
كشف المدرب السابق شين ديتش عن رفض بيرنلي فرصة التعاقد مع هاري كين مقابل 7 ملايين جنيه إسترليني في عام 2014.
كان كلاريتس في السوق من أجل توقيع نجم بعد عودتهم إلى الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز لموسم 2014-2015.
ديتش كان من أشد المعجبين بـ هاري كين، الذي كان في ذلك الوقت قد بدأ للتو في صنع اسم لنفسه في توتنهام.
في الموسم السابق عن المذكور، خاض كين عشر مباريات في الدوري وسجل ثلاث أهدافه.
وطلب توتنهام آنذاك من بيرنلي دفع 7 ملايين جنيه إسترليني مقابل الحصول على هاري كين، ولكن مسؤولي بيرنلي لم يكونوا راغبين في مطابقة السعر المطلوب.
وبدلًا من ذلك، لجأ بيرنلي إلى التعاقد مع جورج بويد من هال سيتي، مقابل 3 ملايين جنيه إسترليني فقط.
وقال شين ديتش في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ذا صن” الإنجليزية: “لقد تواصلنا مع توتنهام في ذلك الوقت، وأعتقد أن المدرب كان آنذاك تيم شيروود وأبلغنا أن النادي يريد 7 ملايين جنيه إسترليني، وكنا في السوق نرغب في دفع 3”.
وأضاف: “ذهبت إلى إدارة بيرنلي وأخبرتني أنه لا يمكننا فعل ذلك، الآن أعرف ما قد يصل إليه سعره، ولكن في هذا الوقت كانت ميزانية النادي تبلغ 3 ملايين جنيه إسترليني، وتعاقدنا مع جورج بويد”.
وأردف: “لكن تيم شيروود كان يعلم أنه لاعب في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز في طور الإعداد، ولم يرغب حقًا في تركه يرحل، حتى لو كان رئيس مجلس الإدارة (دانييل ليفي) قد وافق على ذلك”.
وواصل: “لكن هاري كين كنت أعتقد دائمًا أنه لاعب رائع، وما زلت أرى ذلك حتى الآن، عندما أجد البعض يقلل منه في الصحافة، أقول أنكم تمزحون قطعًا”.
واختتم: “إنه أفضل محترف، وأفضل لاعب”، وتجدر الإشارة إلى إنه منذ نهاية موسم 2014/2015، سجل كين 165 هدفًا مذهلًا في الدوري الممتاز.

England fast bowler Steve Harmison has signed a four-year deal with Durham that will keep him at Chester-le-Street till 2013. Harmison, 31, may be having a torrid time internationally, yo-yoed in and out of the England squad, but he had an impressive 2009 with the Division One side, picking up fifty Championship wickets to take his career tally to over 400 first-class wickets.”I have always loved playing cricket for Durham and I’m incredibly proud to represent the club and be part of the setup here,” Harmison said. “I’m looking forward to the next four seasons, especially 2010 as we look to win the Championship for a record third year.”Harmison, however, insisted that his England career wasn’t over. He played two Tests in the Ashes, took five wickets but was omitted for the tour of South Africa. Commenting on his omission, he understood the national selectors’ plans of building a team for the future.”I will go out like I did this year and the year before that to try and take wickets for Durham,” Harmison was quoted in the . “If that sees my name put in the hat to play for England again and I can be of service, I will be happy to do that.”But the way it has been explained to me is that England are trying to move on to the next level for their next big series in Australia in 2010. They don’t see me being a part of that and I think I would struggle because of all the international cricket between the last Test I played at the Oval and that first Ashes Test in Brisbane next year.”England have made their decision to build for the future, which is fine by me. They are going through an exciting time, they are going with a group of young fast bowlers to South Africa which will be helpful for them. I hope they do well. If I knew it wasn’t possible for me to go to Australia in 2010, then I would come out and retire [from international cricket] for the sake of everybody.”Harmison, in fact, claimed the wicket that clinched the County Championship in both of Durham’s title wins in 2008 and 2009, and was named the county’s Bowler of the Year for the second year running. Despite the achievements, Harmison failed to make England’s squad for the upcoming tour of South Africa.Durham head coach Geoff Cook, however, was delighted that Harmison had committed his future. “Stephen is a huge asset to our team, he has a great presence, both on the field and in the dressing room, and his commitment and dedication to the Club has always been fantastic,” Cook said.The sentiment was similar from David Harker, Durham’s chief executive. “Stephen is a great performer for Durham and we are absolutely delighted that he will remain a major partof the team for the foreseeable future. Off the field we have a number of young players benefiting from his experience and guidance and that contribution cannot be underestimated.”

Kolkata Knight Riders have recruited Rohan Gavaskar and left-arm seamer Eklak Ahmid – both former ICL players – into their ranks. The Bengal duo were part of a two-day training camp at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata under the supervision of Dav Whatmore, KKR’s new coach.Gavaskar, son of Sunil, has represented India in 11 ODIs. He’s played 116 first-class games, scoring 6914 runs at 44.60, and also bowls occasional left-arm spin. He played for Royal Bengal Tigers in the ICL, so did Eklal, who just has two first-class appearances to his name.”It’s certainly great that I am now a part of KKR after joining the Bengal Ranji Trophy squad. Twenty20 suits my style as I have scored good amount of runs in the ICL as well,” Gavaskar said at the end of the day’s practice session. “The association with someone so successful like Dav Whatmore should benefit me. Dav has certainly had loads of success as a coach, especially during his stint with the Sri Lankan team”.The third edition of the IPL, in 2010, runs from March 12 to April 25.
