Eduardo Baptista explica Cícero mais adiantado e defende dupla de zaga

MatériaMais Notícias

Para o clássico com Botafogo, nesta quarta-feira, o Fluminense terá mudanças. E uma delas é na distribuição dos jogadores. Com Douglas e Pierre como volantes, Cícero será mais adiantado, se juntando a Diego Souza e Fred na frente. Com isso, Osvaldo – que substitui o suspenso Marcos Júnior – será a válvula de escape para que o time consiga jogar em velocidade. Foi isso que explicou Eduardo Baptista:

– Cícero tem dado uma consistência, mas tem uma chegada na área. Fez um gol, quase fez outro. Ele é uma das peças que temos que dar o encaixe. Com a evolução do Douglas, também vejo ele dando uma condição boa para nossa saída. Aí podemos encaixar o Cícero junto com Fred e Diego, mas aí preciso da velocidade do Osvaldo.

Nos últimos jogos, a defesa voltou a ser discutida dentro do Fluminense. Com o setor sobrecarregado – foram oito gols sofridos em cinco partidas do Carioca -, o treinador pediu maior paciência para que a nova dupla de zaga, composta por Henrique e Renato Chaves, adquira entrosamento.

– A defesa a gente procura mexer o menos possível. O Renato já deu indícios de, dentro do que pensamos, ser o ideal. Agora, é dar continuidade. Vou dar uma sequência para esta dupla Henrique e Renato. É uma dupla que eu pensava desde o ano passado. O que não quer dizer que Marlon, Gum e Nogueira não tenham chance, mas neste momento vou dar uma continuidade – garantiuo comandante tricolor.

Aston Villa: Fans react to Martinez update

Many Aston Villa fans are reacting to a tweet which reports on what goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez did following the 3-1 loss to West Ham on Wednesday.

Jesse Lingard scored a brace on his Hammers debut during the match. Both of his goals however were ones which Martinez will probably feel he should have saved, as he managed to get his hands on the ball both times

According to @greggevans and tweeted out by @villareport, the Argentinian goalkeeper called on a few of the forwards for additional time on the training pitch this week. This was due to the fact that he wasn’t happy with his performance in the defeat to West Ham. One fan called him a ‘great professional’ after hearing the news.

Martinez has probably won a lot of points for Villa this campaign, but he was right to not be happy with his performance in that particular match. Clearly, the extra training worked wonders as he put in a solid performance in the 1-0 victory against Arsenal on Saturday.

Here is what fans said following the news:

“Fair enough too. He was sloppy for at least two of them, but that’s a great attitude.”

Liverpool must sign Jadon Sancho

Liverpool transfer target Jadon Sancho showed that he’s well worth his significant price tag with an exceptional display against RB Leipzig last weekend.

The Borussia Dortmund winger has been linked with the Reds recently following a failed move to Manchester United during the summer transfer window and based on his recent performances for the Black and Yellows, he would surely prove to be a superb addition to Jurgen Klopp’s side, no matter the price.

As per SofaScore, the England international picked up a 9.5 rating for his performance against Leipzig on Saturday, which comfortably ranked him as the best player on the pitch.

During the 90 minutes Sancho, who reportedly earns £160,000-a-week, would score and assist, whilst 34/39 of his passes would find a Dortmund teammate.

He was also successful in 2/3 of his dribbles and won 4/5 of his duels during his time on the pitch, suggesting that he regularly had the better of the Leipzig defenders.

Perhaps most impressively, the former Manchester City man would play as many as seven key passes during the game, whilst also creating two big chances.

Considering how Liverpool have struggled in front of goal in recent Premier League fixtures, it could definitely be argued that they are missing someone of Sancho’s obvious quality, as he showed in his performance against a strong Leipzig side just how influential he can be in the attacking third.

Bayern Munich manager Hans-Dieter Flick has clearly been impressed with the impact Sancho has had since moving to the Bundesliga, as he sung his praises in 2020, saying:

“He is a great talent and has enormous qualities. That’s why you simply have to acknowledge that Dortmund has a very good player there.”

Therefore, even though the 20-year-old is currently valued at £90 million by Transfermarkt, Michael Edwards and the Liverpool board must consider bringing him to Anfield in the near future, as he has proved himself to be a world-class player in his time with Dortmund, having registered 40 goals and 54 assists in 119 appearances for the Bundesliga side.

And, in other news… Klopp must ruthlessly axe LFC ace TAA dubbed “world class”; he was abysmal vs AVFC

Jorge explica segredo de 'entortada' antes do gol: 'Vários anos no salão'

MatériaMais Notícias

Jorge fazia uma partida discreta até roubar a cena no lance que gerou o gol de Marcelo Cirino, o segundo da vitória do Flamengo sobre o Macaé, por 2 a 0, na noite de quarta-feira, no Moacyrzão. Na ponta direita, onde não está tão acostumado a jogar, o lateral-esquerdo deu um belo drible com o corpo sobre o adversário e cruzou de trivela na cabeça do camisa 6. Depois da partida, explicou de onde surgiu a jogada e exaltou a vitória rubro-negra.

– Joguei vários anos no salão, então aprendi lá aquele drible. Mutias pessoas falam da minha qualidade técnica, então graças a Deus pude mostrar essa qualidade que tenho nesse lance. Mas fico feliz mesmo é pelos três pontos. Ainda estamos no início de temporada, então está todo muito de parabéns. Ainda temos muito para trabalhar e acertar cada dia mais – disse o lateral.

A delegação do Flamengo retorna ao Rio de Janeiro ainda na madrugada de quarta para quinta e já treina na parte da tarde, na Gávea. O Rubro-Negro, agora, terá uma semana sem jogos. O próximo compromisso é na quarta-feira de cinzas, contra a Portuguesa, no Raulino de Oliveira. A expectativa é que o meia Federico Mancuello, já regularizado, seja titular. O volante Gustavo Cuéllar, caso seja regularizado e evolua fisicamente, pode pintar.

Sistema defensivo do Grêmio sofre com lesões

MatériaMais Notícias

A bruxa está solta no sistema defensivo do Grêmio. Após Pedro Geromel sentir uma lesão no joelho direito, que o obrigou a realizar uma cirurgia, agora é a vez de Walter Kannemann ter um problema no pé esquerdo e não ter data para voltar.

Segundo o departamento médico do Tricolor, o argentino apresentou um leve edema ósseo e não tem prazo para voltar aos gramados, o que ligou o sinal de alerta dentro do clube.

Inicialmente, nenhuma contratação é cogitada dentro da diretoria. A esperança é que Kannemann consiga se recuperar e Geromel volte aos gramados no começo de março para a estreia da Libertadores da América.

Enquanto a sua dupla titular fica no estaleiro, Renato Gaúcho vai apostar em David Braz, que tem dado conta do recado e Paulo Miranda, que não conta com a simpatia da torcida gremista.

Além da dupla reserva, o jovem Rodrigues é uma das opções para o comandante escalar nos jogos do Grêmio.

Arsenal fans blast Cedric vs Southampton

Some Arsenal fans were left blasting the display of Cedric against his old club Southampton in their side’s 1-0 away loss in the FA Cup at St. Mary’s Stadium.

Although there were many poor performances for Mikel Arteta’s team, Cedric, in particular, flattered to deceive some members of the Emirates Stadium faithful.

The 29-year-old lost out on four of his duels and also failed to block any shots or make any tackles against the Saints (Sofascore).

He also lost possession of the ball no fewer than 23 times in the game, which was the most out of any of his teammates to have set foot on the pitch, earning him a quite measly 6.5 overall rating on Sofascore, the joint-second worst out of any Gunners player.

Arsenal fan reaction to Cedric display

These Gooners blasted his performance on Twitter, with one AFC supporter even going as far to claim that the Portugal international is ‘awful’:

“I would really like to see Willian or Pepe deliver a statement performance in a game like this, but both remain short of form and confidence. Cedric was very poor playing on the opposite side. Nketiah had to do more with the chances he had #SOUARS”

Between The Lines: Phil Hay stat proves Kalvin Phillips has compromised for Bielsa

[ad_pod ]

Leeds United’s midfield was completely exposed against Norwich City on Saturday evening in the absence of Kalvin Phillips, and he proved to be a big miss.

What’s the word?

Leeds’ 23-year-old defensive midfielder has predominantly operated as a central defender in recent weeks to cover for a handful of absentees amid a seemingly endless injury crisis.

The move into central defence has seen him hone in on the defensive quality he has consistently produced this season, with his goalscoring exploits from last season now representing something of a distant memory.

Indeed, Phil Hay has revealed a small sample of statistical information from Phillips’ form this term and pointed towards his lack of involvement in the final-third as an indicator of how significantly his role has changed, as per Yorkshire Evening Post.

Hay wrote: “Phillips will not automatically cure the problems with Leeds’ finishing – the deepness of his position is shown by the fact that having scored seven times last season, he is averaging less than a shot a game and has produced 12 key passes in total.”

Kalvin Phillips showcasing his adaptability

The arrival of Bielsa has instigated a transformation in the way Phillips operates in midfield. The fact he scored seven times during the 2017/18 season illuminates the level of freedom he had to burst forward in a box-to-box role, but his current manager has forced him to make a big compromise.

Bielsa has typically asked him to operate in a water-carrier role in-front of the defensive unit, connecting the dots from deep while ensuring that the back-four are well prepared to stifle the opposition.

The positional tweak has seen his attacking influence diminish, with his return of 12 key passes averaging at less than 0.5 per game from his 27 appearances this season, as per WhoScored, while the fact he is yet to find the net under the Argentine speaks for itself.

In a sense, Phillips has been forced to compromise on his quality in the final-third to adapt to Bielsa’s demands, but it’s a compromise which has ultimately enhanced his reputation amongst plenty of supporters at Elland Road.

After watching Norwich tear through Leeds’ midfield on Saturday evening, it will be no great surprise if the 23-year-old is recalled to solidify his defensive unit against Middlesbrough.

عماد متعب يهاجم كاف قبل حفل جوائز الأفضل في قارة إفريقيا

انتقد عماد متعب عضو رابطة الأندية المصرية اختيارات الاتحاد الإفريقي لكرة القدم “كاف” في الفئات المختلفة قبل حفل توزيع جوائز الأفضل والمقرر مساء اليوم بمدينة مراكش المغربية.

طالع.. مباشر | حفل جوائز الأفضل في إفريقيا 2023

وقال متعب في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة اون تايم سبورتس: “كولر مدرب الأهلي كان يجب أن يتواجد في القائمة النهائية لأفضل مدرب في إفريقيا، نحن نقيم المدربين على أساس الانجازات التي حققوها”.

وأكمل: “أيضًا رياض محرز ظُلم، ماذا يفعل أكثر مما فعله لكي يتواجد في القائمة النهائية، فاز بالدوري الإنجليزي وكأس الرابطة ودوري أبطال أوروبا، أنا لا اعلم معايير اختيار أفضل لاعب ولا أفهمها”.

وتابع: “محمد صلاح يُحقق انجازات مختلفة، واحد من هدافي الدوري الإنجليزي وسجل أهدافا حاسمة مع ليفربول ومؤثر مع منتخب مصر”.

وأردف: “في 2006 و2008 و2010 كنا نتوج بكأس أمم إفريقيا ولم يكن يتوج لاعب مصري بجائزة الأفضل، كان يوجد لاعبين كبار مميزين وصنعوا إنجازات”.

واختتم: “لكن في المقابل دروجبا فاز بالدوري الإنجليزي ودوري أبطال أوروبا وحصد الجائزة، إذا ما الفارق الآن رياض محرز فاز بنفس البطولتين في أوروبا، لماذا لم يتواجد في القائمة النهائية؟”.

'I've been different since Jadeja incident' – Anderson

James Anderson fears he may not be the bowler he was before the incident with Ravindra Jadeja at Trent Bridge last year

James Anderson: I’ve definitely been different since that incident. And it probably affected me during the World Cup.”•Getty Images

James Anderson fears he may not be the bowler he was before the incident with Ravindra Jadeja at Trent Bridge last year.Anderson was charged with a Level 3 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct after India alleged that he pushed Jadeja inside the pavilion as the players left the field for the lunch break on the second day of the first Investec Test.While the charges against both players were later dismissed, Anderson feels the sense of being monitored by the ICC has left him a more inhibited bowler lacking the aggression that was a key element in his game.In particular, Anderson felt the issue compromised his effectiveness in the World Cup, where he cut an oddly peripheral figure claiming just five wickets in six matches.”I’ve definitely been different since that incident,” Anderson said. “And it probably affected me during the World Cup.”It didn’t affect me during that India series because there was still that real determination to win; I was aggressive without being over the top.”But in the World Cup, there was a constant sense that the ICC were watching.”So we saw that great spell from Wahab Riaz to Shane Watson (in Adelaide) and they were fined after that. It puts you off.”Anderson has been England’s most effective bowler over much of the last seven years and goes into the Test series against West Indies starting on Monday requiring just four more wickets to overhaul Sir Ian Botham’s England record tally of 383 Test wickets. The game will also be Anderson’s 100th Test.But while his reputation as a highly skilled bowler is unquestioned, Anderson has also developed a reputation as one of the fiercest sledgers in the game. His words have often been hidden from television spectators by judicious use of an arm held over his mouth while his comments are directed at batsmen, but opposition players have long named him as an unusually abrasive competitor. At one stage during the Jadeja episode, BCCI officials suggested they were taking a stand against Anderson for the good of the game.Anderson, however, insists he needs the edge provided by the overt aggression and hopes to rediscover it in the Caribbean; albeit while staying “within the spirit of the game.””What comes naturally to me is being aggressive,” he said. “And I think that’s worked for me in the past.”Obviously you have to stay within the boundaries and within the spirit of the game. But I think it did affect me during the World Cup.”Hopefully it won’t here. It’s about trying to find a balance.”Wahab and Watson were fined after the match in Adelaide, though the ICC have clarified that the incident actually occurred after the initial spell that captured the imagination of viewers around the world.
