Ataque desencanta, e Inter derrota o Ceará fora de casa pela Série B

MatériaMais Notícias

Se jogando em casa o Inter não vem convencendo, não é o mesmo quando a equipe atua fora de Porto Alegre. O Colorado foi à Fortaleza e bateu o Ceará por 2 a 0 e com autoridade. Os gols marcados por Pottker e Nico López encerraram um jejum de cinco jogos sem um atacante balançar as redes pela equipe. Com o resultado, os comandados de Guto Ferreira subiram para a quinta posição na tabela, com 21 pontos e encostados no G4. O Ceará caiu para sétimo, com 18.

Sem vencer há duas partidas e somando exibições ruins, o Inter veio muito pressionado para o jogo. O Ceará ocupava a sexta posição, o que fazia da partida um confronto direto por uma vaga no G4 da competição. E o Vozão esperava usar o poder da torcida presente no Castelão para afundar ainda mais o Colorado na situação de crise que vivia.

No começo do jogo as duas propostas ficaram bem claras. O Ceará tomava a iniciativa do jogo e tentava afundar o Inter no seu campo defensivo, que, por sua vez, recuava e tentava sair rápido em contra-ataques. Na primeira chance que teve, o Colorado abriu o placar. Edenílson recebeu lateral dentro da área e rolou para a pequena área. Lá estava William Pottker, completamente sozinho para empurrar para dentro.

O Ceará sentiu o gol e o Inter aproveitou o momento para fazer o segundo. Aos 19 minutos, Everson salvou duas vezes em chutes de Winck e William Pottker. Na terceira, Nico López pegou forte de fora da área e acertou o ângulo do goleiro alvinegro. Um lindo gol no Castelão. Dois minutos depois, quase o terceiro, com Pottker. O atacante, porém, acertou o travessão. Acontecia uma avalanche colorada e o Ceará nada conseguia fazer para contê-la. Se o ataque do Inter não marcava há cinco jogos, marcou duas vezes em 20 minutos.

Depois, os papéis se inverteram. O visitante controlava a posse de bola, enquanto que os mandantes tinham dificuldades em criar oportunidades. Apesar de ter equilibrado um pouco no fim, o apito final do primeiro tempo foi um alívio para o Ceará, que podia ter ido para o vestiário perdendo por mais que dois gol de diferença.

O segundo tempo começou como o primeiro. O Ceará, precisando urgentemente de gols, tentava pressionar a saída de bola da equipe gaúcha, que se fechava e esperava a melhor oportunidade para atacar. A dupla de zaga formada por Klaus e Cuesta funcionava muito bem, evitando que o adversário conseguisse chegar com perigo. Danilo Fernandes pouco trabalhava no jogo, e o Inter tinha total controla da partida.

Só a partir da segunda metade da etapa final que o Ceará voltou a ameaçar. Conseguia trocar mais passes perto da grande área e arriscava chutes perigosos de fora da área. O Inter, por outro lado, abdicou de atacar. Já não havia mais a ligação entre meio e ataque, e o Colorado ia ficando mais acuado, saindo na base do chutão. O placar de 2 a 0, no entanto, passava tranquilidade.

Acabou que o Vozão não teve força para reagir. A formação mais defensiva de Guto Ferreira deu certo, e no final, a equipe gaúcha até conseguiu ficar um pouco com a bola e controlar a partida. Podia até ter feito o terceiro com Winck e Diego, mas ambos perderam cara a cara com o goleiro Everson. O placar final de 2 a 0 colocou o Inter na quinta posição, com 21 pontos e colado no G4. Já o Ceará caiu para sétimo, com 18.

Cuca vê placar justo, e critica tantos cartões: 'Incomum e desnecessário'

MatériaMais Notícias

Cuca considera que o empate em 2 a 2 entre Flamengo e Palmeiras foi o resultado mais justo nessa quarta-feira, na Ilha do Urubu. O técnico do Verdão apenas se incomodou com a atuação do árbitro Jailson Macedo Freitas (BA), que deu nove cartões amarelos ao Verdão.

– É incomum e desnecessário (o número de cartões). O critério não foi o mesmo. O cartão que ele deu para o Dudu é brincadeira, está louco… E para o Flamengo muitos poderiam ter sido dados, mesmo tipo de jogada. O critério foi completamente diferenciado de uma equipe para a outra. Alguns cartões nós merecemos tomar, mas alguns não foram merecidos. Aí você perde quatro jogadores… Tem que lamentar mesmo. Hoje foi muita confusão do Jailson (árbitro), pendendo muito, neste aspecto, contra nós – criticou o técnico.

Dos nove palmeirenses amarelados, quatro estavam pendurados:Dudu, Tchê Tchê, Borja e Michel Bastos. Eles não poderão enfrentar o Sport, domingo, na Arena Pernambuco. Mais desfalques para um time que ainda não conseguiu ser definido.

– Daqui a pouco a gente vai ter mais jogadores à disposição. Daqui a pouco tem Deyverson, Moisés, Jean… São jogadores que encorpam muito, a nível de titularidade. Eu não tenho pressa em definir a equipe. Daqui a pouco faço um grande jogo e sei que as peças são essas. Hoje fizemos algumas coisas diferentes, como no primeiro tempo o Michel pela lateral, o Bruno e o Tchê Tchê, sem aquele volante pegador, para termos uma condição de jogo. Foi ruim, foi muito ruim, tudo. Fizemos dois gols no primeiro tempo, mas não podemos nos iludir. Foram as únicas chances que tivemos, o Flamengo foi muito melhor no primeiro tempo. Se faz 2 a 0, mata o jogo, e teve muitas chances para fazer – analisou.

– No segundo tempo, estabilizamos com o Thiago, passamos o Michel para a ponta esquerda e o Zé para a lateral, mais defensivo. Encaixou muito bem o sistema defensivo, o Flamengo teve o pênalti e mais um chute do Trauco de fora da área, não me lembro de mais alguma chance. Nós tivemos quatro, cinco, algumas na cara do gol. No último lance entramos em dois contra o goleiro e não fomos felizes na escolha, nem no arremate. Criamos mais que o Flamengo no segundo tempo. O segundo foi melhor que o primeiro e por isso o resultado acabou sendo justo. O Flamengo poderia ter matado no primeiro e nós no segundo, eles poderiam ter convertido o pênalti e nós aproveitado alguma das chances que tivemos – completou.

Com 23 pontos, o Palmeiras é o quinto colocado, a 15 pontos do Corinthians, o líder. O jogo contra o Sport está marcado para as 16h de domingo e é válido pela 16ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Imprensa italiana diz que Atalanta fará proposta por Róger Guedes

MatériaMais Notícias

A Atalanta (ITA) fará uma oferta de 10 milhões de euros (R$ 36 milhões) para tirar Róger Guedes do Palmeiras nesta janela de transferências. A informação foi publicada nesta quinta-feira pelo jornal italiano “La Gazzetta dello Sport”.

O estafe do jogador diz que não há negociação em andamento, mas ele é um dos principais alvos do mercado europeu no elenco do Verdão. No ano passado, o clube recusou uma oferta de 8 milhões de euros (na época quase R$ 29 milhões) do Spartak Moscou.

Há pouco tempo, Róger Guedes estava disposto a deixar o Palestra Itália o mais rápido possível. Ao mesmo tempo em que acumulou alguns episódios ruins fora de campo, como discussões com Eduardo Baptista e Felipe Melo, o camisa 23 não conseguia recuperar o bom futebol do ano passado. A situação mudou após a chegada de Cuca, e agora ele é o único atleta de linha a ser utilizado nas 18 partidas com o técnico. Na derrota por 2 a 0 para o Corinthians, foi um dos únicos que teve boa atuação.

O Verdão comprou 25% dos direitos econômicos de Róger Guedes há pouco mais de um ano por R$ 2,5 milhões. Paulo Nobre, presidente do clube na ocasião, aportou todo o valor e tem direito a receber exatamente esta quantia quando o atleta for vendido. Havia uma cláusula que dava ao Verdão a preferência para comprar outros 25% dos direitos por R$ 5 milhões, mas o clube preferiu não exercê-la e o Criciúma segue dono de 75%.

Sanchez endures another Spurs nightmare

Tottenham Hotspur’s shocking run of form in the Premier League continued on Sunday afternoon after they were well-beaten in the north London derby by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

It was a third straight defeat and also the third successive time that Nuno Santo has seen his side leak three goals – a vast contrast to the opening three games of the season, in which Spurs kept three clean sheets.

There are now plenty of problems facing the Portuguese head coach.

Spurs were amongst the worst attacking sides in the division as they went into the weekend having recorded the lowest total expected goals (4.42 xG) of any top-flight team but now they’re leaking goals at an alarming rate, meaning they cannot even grind out draws.

Davinson Sanchez has seemingly reverted back to his calamitous self following the most recent international break. Ahead of kick-off, Football FanCast explained why the £42m flop should’ve been axed for this encounter and Nuno was severely punished for trusting him to start.

Once dubbed a “real liability to his team” by ex-Wimbledon defender Kenny Cunningham, the Colombian international put in an absolutely disgraceful showing against their arch-rivals.

SofaScore graded him among Nuno’s worst performers (6.3) and it’s easy to see why.

He was weak in his battles up against the goalscoring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, having won just one of six battles (16%), whilst he also lost possession seven times and committed two fouls.

Sanchez was caught napping for Emile Smith Rowe’s early opener – as the Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick claimed, he was “all at sea on his return to the side.”

In addition, the 25-year-old, who earns a reported £75k-per-week, failed to register a single tackle, interception or block as the Gunners ran him ragged throughout the 90 minutes.

Time and time again, Sanchez has let Spurs down, perhaps it’s time to get rid for good, especially when there’s summer signing Cristian Romero sat waiting on the bench.

Plenty of supporters seems to be aggrieved with players like vice-captain Harry Kane, venting their frustrations on social media, but the England talisman had very little service throughout and he was not at fault for Arsenal’s dominance in their own penalty box.

Nuno must think twice before trusting Sanchez again.

Sialkot dominate opening day of final round

A round-up of the first day’s play from the 11th round of Quaid-e-Azam trophy matches

Group AIn Sheikhupura, Water and Power Development Authority managed to bowl out Habib Bank Limited for 202 despite opener Imran Farhat’s 100. Apart from captain Hasan Raza’s 31, there was not much support from the other batsmen for Farhat after HBL were put in. They were reduced to 29 for 3, with the rest in the top four besides Farhat scoring 1, 0 and 0. Farhat then combined with Raza to take them past 100, but HBL lost wickets regularly once Raza was out. WAPDA opening bowlers Naved-ul-Hasan and Azharullah took three wickets each. WAPDA lost opener Salman Akbar for 15 before closing at 29 for 1 in 15 overs.Second-placed Khan Research Laboratories were also dismissed for 200-odd after being asked to bat by Pakistan Customs, but Sohail Tanvir managed to wrest back the initiative with three strikes before close in Mirpur. Farhan Ayub snared 5 for 86 and fellow medium-pacers Aamer Yousuf and Waqas Qudratullah scalped two wickets each to restrict KRL to 208. Ali Naqvi top scored with 64, and rescued his team along with Bazid Khan (37) after they were reeling at 69 for 5. No. 9 Yasir Ali’s quick 23 was only the fourth double-digit score in the innings. KRL, however, lost their last five wickets for 51. Tanvir then removed Pakistan Customs’ top three to leave them at 67 for 3 at stumps. KRL are six points adrift of leaders National Bank of Pakistan.National Bank of Pakistan were also put in by defending champions Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited at Multan Cricket Stadium, but three half-centuries from the top four helped the Group A leaders to 248 for 4 at close on the first day. No. 3 Umar Amin made 84 – he had scored 85 in the second innings in NBP’s previous game – and strung together 85 with opener Nasir Jamshed (51). Naumanullah chipped in with 55. Left-armer Samiullah Khan took 2 for 41 off 21 overs.An unbeaten 112 from Fahad Iqbal helped Pakistan International Airlines score 291 for 7 on the opening day against Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited at Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium. Put in, PIA were reduced to 52 for 3 before Fahad combined with Kamran Sajid (45) for a 107-run partnership. Wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed, fresh off his two half-centuries in PIA’s recent two-wicket win over SNGPL, made a brisk 65, but ZTBL bounced back with three wickets in the space of 12 runs, with Afaq Raheem striking twice in his two overs. Iftikhar Anjum and Iftikhar Anjum also picked up two wickets.Abid Ali made 114 and Sheraz Butt scored 96 to help Lahore Shalimar reach 270 for 4 in 83 overs on the first day against Sui Southern Gas Corporation at Lahore City Cricket Association Ground. The two put on a 211-run stand after Lahore lost two early wickets. Abid hit 16 fours; Butt was more patient but missed out on his maiden first-class ton. Murad Khan took 3 for 51 for SSGC.Group BTop-placed Sialkot dominated the first day against Faisalabad at the Jinnah Stadium, dismissing the visitors for 122 and ending the day 39 runs in the advantage with seven first-innings wickets still in hand. Sarmad Anwar, Bilawal Bhatti and Nayyer Abbas grabbed three wickets each as Faisalabad, put in, were dismissed in 44.2 overs. Top-scorer Mohammad Salman was the only batsman to make it past 25, scoring 39. Zahoor Khan struck twice to leave Sialkot wobbling at 59 for 3, but an unbroken 102-run stand steadied the hosts. Haris Sohail made a quick 61 off 70 balls, while Bilal Azmat was also unbeaten at stumps on 44.It was the day of the medium-pacers as 20 wickets tumbled on the first day of the clash between Peshwar and third-placed Rawalpindi at the Arbab Niaz Stadium. Peshawar captain Nauman Habib would have rued his decision to bat first after the fast-bowling trio of Rizwan Akbar, Mohammad Rameez and Sadaf Hussain ran riot, leaving the innings in tatters at 62 for 8. It was Riaz Afridi’s 66 and the 93-run partnership with Nauman (39) that helped Peshwar save face by reaching 156. Rizwan was the most successful bowler for Rawalpindi with 4 for 26. In reply, Rawalpindi were off on the wrong foot with Waqar Ahmed trapping Hamid Riaz early on. The bowler got good support from Riaz, and the Rawalpindi batsmen failed to put up any resistance. Zahid Mansoor was the top scorer with 33 as Rawalpindi were shot out for 157, the slenderest of leads. Waqar picked up a five-wicket haul while Riaz finished with 4 for 31. Rawalpindi need a win to have any chance of upstaging Sialkot for a place in the final.Twin centuries from Ashraf Ali and Sohail Ahmed helped Lahore Ravi post a strong 284 for 5 against second-placed Islamabad at the Diamond Club Ground. Islamabad, who also need a win to move ahead of Sialkot, put Lahore in. A partnership of 51 between openers Sohail and Raza Ali was followed by three strikes from Saad Altaf, the leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far. But an 89-run fourth-wicket stand between Sohail and Ashraf followed. Sohail hit 11 boundaries in his steady 102, before he was caught by Imad Wasim off Raheel Majeed. The day ended with Irfan Zaman’s dismissal, while Ashraf remained unbeaten on 111.Nasrullah Memon’s half-century firmed up bottom-placed Hyderabad against Karachi Blues on the first day at the Nawabshah Cricket Stadium. Choosing to bat, Hyderabad openers Aqeel Anjum and Azeem Ghumman put on 38 for the opening wicket before offspinner Tabish Nawab tore into the top order. He dismissed the openers and then had Abid Ali caught by Mohammad Faheem for 4. But Nasrullah continued strongly, eventually finishing with 70 off 110 balls. Tabish Khan then struck twice to leave Hyderabad at 244 for 7.A hundred for wicketkeeper Fawad Khan and a half-century from captain Ghulam Mohammad took Abbottabad to 295 for 5 against Multan at Okara. Ansar Javed gave Multan the early breakthrough after they chose to field, removing opener Adnan Raees for 10. In the first of three crucial partnerships thereafter, Ghulam added 66 for the second wicket with Hamman Ali and put on a third-wicket stand of 75 with Fawad. He fell leg-before to Zulfiqar Babar for 64, stroking 11 fours in his 146-ball innings. Fawad added 110 with Mohammad Kashif and brought up his century. Babar had Fawad caught and bowled, but not before he had struck 19 boundaries and a six in his 111. Rehan Afridi (10) and Rahim Khan (1) then guided Abbottabad through to stumps.

روي رانا يعلن موقفه من الاستمرار مع منتخب مصر لكرة السلة.. ويصرّح: فرصتنا قائمة للتأهل لكأس العالم

كشف الكندي روي رانا المدير الفني لمنتخب مصر لكرة السلة موقفه من الاستمرار مع الفراعنة خلال الفترة القادمة.

ويستعد منتخب مصر لكرة السلة لخوض المرحلة النهائية من التصفيات المؤهلة لكأس العالم 2023.

وقال روي خلال تصريحات عبر برنامج “الماتش” على قناة “صدى البلد”: “مسئولو اتحاد السلة رائعون للغاية، لدينا رغبة في التوصل لاتفاق وتجديد عقدي مع المنتخب المصري”.

وأضاف: “متحمس للبقاء مع منتخب مصر ولدي كل النية للاستمرار، نحن في وضع أفضل الآن”.

وتابع: “عملي مع الفريق الياباني لا يؤثر تمامًا على عملي مع منتخب مصر، في كرة السلة حول العالم 80 أو 90% من المدربين يتولون مهمة تدريب فريقين في وقت واحد”.

وواصل: “واثق من أنني سأقدم مستوى جيد دومًا مع المنتخب المصري، لن تكون هناك أي أزمة في العمل مع المنتخب المصري والفريق الياباني، وأتمنى ألا يؤثر عملي الثاني على رغبة الاستمرار مع المنتخب المصري”.

وعن أزمة مباراة منتخب الأردن الودية التي انسحب فيها المدير الفني منذ أسابيع قبل تصفيات كاس العالم، أوضح: “المنافس قرر عدم استكمال اللقاء واصطحب لاعبيه خارج الملعب”.

وأكمل: “أنا لا أدعم هذا الأمر وهذا ضد الروح الرياضية، ويعتبر شيء مهين لمنتخب مصر ومدربه، لا أحب هذه الألعاب الذهنية التي يلعبها المنافسين، أنا هدفي لعب كرة السلة فقط، فعلنا الأفضل لمصر وعدنا لاستكمال المباراة”.

وأردف: “مواجهة السنغال كانت الأصعب لأنهم هزمونا في المرحلة الأولى من التصفيات، قدمنا مجهودًا خرافيًا، لم نتوقع الأداء ولكن بذلنا كل ما لدينا من أجل الفوز، نحن منتخب مصر، سمعة الفراعنة أننا قادرين على الفوز لأننا نملك المواهب الجيدة”.

وعن حضور الجماهير في برج العرب، قال: “كان أمرًا هائلًا وشعرت أنا واللاعبين بالطاقة لحضور الجماهير وأثر علينا بالإيجاب، نحن متصدرين قائمتنا ولذلك نحن فريق مرشح لكأس العالم، فرصنا قائمة للتأهل للمونديال”.

واستطرد: “مواجهة تونس في تونس، الضغط الواقع علينا سيكون من ناحيتين، الضغط قد يكون سلبيًا على منتخب تونس نفسه، المواجهات كلها ليست سهلة، ولذلك علينا أن نكون جاهزين لكل المباريات”.

وأتم: “لدينا العديد من اللاعبين يخوضون تدريبات استعدادًا للتصفيات المقبلة، قريبًا سنسافر إلى معسكر خارجي ثم نعود إلى مصر قبل السفر إلى تونس لخوض التصفيات”.

Aston Villa wanted to sign Man Utd’s Jesse Lingard

Aston Villa made an approach for Manchester United star Jesse Lingard in the summer transfer window.

What’s the story?

Reports in recent weeks and months had suggested that Dean Smith’s side were ready to rival fellow Premier League outfit West Ham in a move for the England international.

Now, The Times have delivered an update on Lingard’s situation, name-checking Villa as one of the teams who registered their interest in luring Lingard away from Old Trafford.

The report adds that the midfielder has in fact rejected a new contract offer from United over concerns over playing time this season, and that he is ready to run down his deal unless he is given assurances by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Would be superb at Villa

Lingard’s current contract comes to an end next summer, meaning that he would be able to leave on a free transfer, and what a bargain that would be for Johan Lange and co at Villa.

After joining West Ham back in the January transfer window on a short-term loan, Lingard racked up an incredible nine goals and four assists in just his first ten Premier League games for the club – it was no surprise then that he was lauded as being “absolutely phenomenal”.

The England international’s ability to score goals from midfield is something which could add a different dimension at Villa, and it’s a knack that Michael Carrick was quick to praise back at Old Trafford.

The United coach said: “He senses where the space is and how to use it. I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s a dribbler with skills and tricks but he’s dynamic. How he plays, he is unique in some ways. You don’t see so much of that now as everyone wants to get on the ball. Off the ball, he’s very effective.”

His performances with the Hammers showcased the kind of impact the £75k-a-week earning star can have when he’s on song and the confidence is flowing through his veins.

Giving him an opportunity to shine at Villa, where the spotlight is understandably less than somewhere like United, could offer him the kind of freedom that sees him become a really consistent performer and break back into the England side under Gareth Southgate.

He’s a player the club must surely go back in for after their initial summer approach. Given that he would be available on a free once the season ends, or for a knock-down price in January, Villa could strike gold either way.

Meanwhile, new details have emerged over Villa’s summer swoop…
