No confronto entre Sport e Ponte Preta, André e Lucca brigam pela artilharia

MatériaMais Notícias

O Sport se prepara para receber a Ponte Preta, às 16h do próximo domingo, na Ilha do Retiro. A partida será a primeira das duas equipes pelo returno do Campeonato Brasileiro. Além de ser o próximo desafiante, a Macaca também será adversária do Leão na Copa Sul-Americana. Ciente do fato, o atacante André afirma que o grupo está focado no confronto do próximo domingo e aguarda o resultado para planejar o torneio continental.

– A gente conhece bem a Ponte Preta. Hoje em dia, todo mundo se conhece no Brasil. Tem scouts e informações. Temos que entrar focados em fazer um bom começo de segundo turno e esquecer Sul-Americana. Mais na frente, volta a pensar neles. Domingo, não é o adversário da Sul-Americana, é o do Brasileiro – declarou o atacante.

No início do Brasileirão, o Sport teve um jogo duro conta a Ponte Preta. Logo na estreia, a equipe que ainda era comandada por Ney Franco foi goleada por 4 a 0. Apesar de o Leão ter sido formado com uma boa quantidade de reservas, André era um dos pouco titulares no time. Entretanto, o jogador destaca que, disputando a 20ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, a situação é bem diferente da vivida em maio.

– O principal é a confiança. Mas, se pegar a escalação daquele jogo e a que entrar domingo, vai ver que é totalmente diferente. É um outro time, uma outra cabeça e posso dizer também que é outro campeonato agora. Agora, começa o segundo turno, os times estão melhor entrosados, vai ser a parte mais complicada da competição – explicou o atleta.

O Sport começa o returno em sexto lugar, brigando pelo G4 da competição. Apesar de ter passado por maus bocados no início, a equipe vem melhorando seu desempenho a cada dia e deixando grandes times para trás. Tal fato fazem com que os adversários tenham que se esforçar mais, segundo André.

– A gente fica mais em evidência, claro. as pessoas começam a respeitar mais e tomar mais cuidado. Essa reta final é muito difícil – finalizou o jogador.

Na briga pela artilharia, o atacante ainda terá que lidar com Lucca atuando pela Macaca. Anteriormente os dois jogaram juntos no Corinthians. Em tom descontraído, André destaca a atenção que o Sport precisa ter com o jogador.

– Tomara que ele (Lucca) não faça gol contra a gente e eu possa fazer. Claro que o meu objetivo principal não é essa disputa, mas ele é um cara que a gente tem que ter muita atenção pois finaliza muito bem – frisou o atacante.

O Sport volta aos gramados apenas no domingo para enfrentar a Ponte Preta, às 16h na Ilha do Retiro e, para enfrentar a equipe que tenta se afastar da zona de rebaixamento, a expectativa é de casa cheia.

Canny Bhatia steals one for Delhi

Rajat Bhatia was canny and deadly at the death, taking four wickets for four runs as Deccan Chargers choked to lose once again to Delhi Daredevils

Rajat Bhatia, arguably the best allrounder in India’s domestic cricket, announced himself on the world stage tonight. Everything about Bhatia, his pace, his demeanour, his run-up, suggest an innocuous medium-pacer, but he was canny and deadly at the death, taking four wickets for four runs as Deccan Chargers choked to lose once again to Delhi Daredevils. Chasing 174 Deccan needed 25 in three overs, with six wickets in hand, but lost them all for just 12 runs.When Bhatia came to bowl his final spell, Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds had almost hit Delhi Daredevils into submission. After Gilchrist’s powerful 33-ball 64, Symonds had chased smartly, mixing the big sixes with chipped couples. Twenty-five from 18 looked as innocuous as Bhatia is reputed to be, but when Symonds was tricked by a slower one from Bhatia things became interesting.Dwayne Smith was fooled by a slow legcutter two balls later, and the game had turned. A big choke followed as Venugopal Rao gloved an Ashish Nehra bouncer next over, and RP Singh ran himself out after failing to get bat to another bouncer. Soon Deccan found themselves needing 14 off the last over, and Bhatia was accurate with his slower balls again, removing Pragyan Ojha and Shoaib Maqsusi.It was a night when Delhi’s domestic bowlers undid two Australian heavyweights. That Delhi could entertain hopes of winning the match despite the amazing hitting was thanks to the 18-year-old Pradeep Sangwan. When Sangwan came on to bowl, Deccan had raced to 30 in two overs. Sangwan removed T Suman in his first over, and claimed Rohit Sharma in his second, which was a maiden as well. Deccan scored 50 in the Powerplays, despite only three runs off two Sangwan overs.If Sangwan seemed to be playing a different game from his colleagues, Gilchrist wasn’t too far off that either. Unlike Delhi’s domestic players, Deccan were hampered by their domestic batsmen who seemed to be caught in the headlights. By the strategy break, Gilchrist had peppered the leg-side boundary with five sixes between long-on and square-leg, scoring 63 from 31. Others – Suman, Rohit, Ravi Teja and extras – contributed 20.It was Sangwan again who struck after that time-out, getting rid of Gilchrist with a yorker outside off, which the batsman played on. Still Gilchrist left the chase in able hands, Symonds, who came in at a surprisingly low No. 5. Right from the off, Symonds showed he was in great touch, hammering sixes and finding gaps in the field nonchalantly. With Delhi’s main bowlers bowled out, the chase seemed in the firm control of Symonds, until Bhatia struck out of the blue.Prime Numbers126 Number of dot-balls bowled by RP Singh, highest in the tournament52 Runs conceded by Chaminda Vaas, the most expensive spell of the tournament21 Number of sixes hit by Adam Gilchrist in the tournament24 Number of runs conceded by Shoaib Maqsusi in his first over, equaling the costliest over of the tournamentDinesh Karthik’s blitz earlier in the day was not so out of the blue, yet it was surprising that he should provide Delhi the impetus. With Virender Sehwag back, the batting line-up looked imposing, and Gilchrist chose to take the bull by the horns by sending Delhi in.His bowlers answered the call, his fielders didn’t, dropping three of their destructive batsmen. Chaminda Vaas got David Warner in his first over (Sehwag batted at No. 5) with a slower offcutter. RP should have extended his lead as the holder of the purple cap when he got Tillakaratne Dilshan to lob one straight to Rohit at gully. Straight out it came, and Dilshan punished Deccan after that.Two more catches were dropped: AB de Villiers’ by Teja when he was seven, and a first-baller from Sehwag by Symonds. Although Sehwag didn’t hurt Deccan enough, Dilshan did severe damage and de Villiers capitalised as well.de Villiers went on to score 44, but got out just before he could cut loose towards the final few overs. Dilshan, however, punished Shoaib Maqsusi. Inside the Powerplays, Dilshan scooped him for a four and a six in consecutive deliveries, and managed two more boundaries down the ground in what was tied with the most expensive over of the tournament, at 24 runs.Vaas came pretty close of ridding his team-mate of the dubious honour, when he went for 23 in the last over of the innings. Karthik, who smote an unbeaten 23-ball 44, hit him for two huge sixes into the on side and a pleasing four over extra cover. Vaas added five wides from his side.

West Ham fans hail Rice award win

A number of West Ham supporters have been hailing Declan Rice after he won the Man of the Match award in the Hammers’ win over Everton.

David Moyes’ side picked up a highly impressive 1-0 victory at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, with Angelo Ogbonna scoring the only goal of the game.

West Hamers were more than deserving winners on the day, as numerous players shone against Rafa Benitez’s men.

One individual who stood out from the crowd was Rice, however, with the England international a dominant force in the middle of the park throughout the match, completing 91 per cent of his passes.

On Monday, West Ham’s official Twitter account confirmed that the 22-year-old was named Man of the Match, as he continues to go from strength to strength as a player.

West Ham fans laud Rice

Needless to say, there was plenty of love for Rice in reaction to the tweet, with these fans providing their thoughts.

'Anão' convenceu, e agora? Ataque do Corinthians produz mais com Clayson

MatériaMais Notícias

Clayson aproveitou uma brecha para mostrar serviço no Corinthians. Habitual reserva de Romero na ponta-esquerda, o jogador contratado após o Campeonato Paulista ocupou a vaga do paraguaio nos dois jogos em que ele ficou lesionado e se manteve no time mesmo após o retorno do titular, pois Jadson e Marquinhos Gabriel tratam contusão e Giovanni Augusto não agarrou a oportunidade do lado direito. Agora que emendou três partidas como titular, o jogador apelidado no elenco do Corinthians de “anão” definitivamente convenceu o técnico Fábio Carille de que é uma peça útil na temporada.

E põe útil nisso! Em cinco partidas com Clayson titular, o Corinthians tem números ofensivos melhores do que sua média no Campeonato Brasileiro. O recorte leva em conta gols marcados (1,68 no geral contra 2,4 nos jogos com Clayson titular), finalizações (4,68 contra 5,2), cruzamentos (4,21 contra 4,4) e dribles (3,84 contra 6,2). Com o camisa 25, a produção do ataque melhora, e o comandante já identificou o bom momento do reserva do time ideal.

-O Clayson eu acompanho desde 2015, no Ituano, sei do potencial do atleta. Ele está chegando, tendo oportunidades, fez um grande jogo porque pode jogar nas três funções. Foi uma contratação pontual, que era para acrescentar e está acrescentando – disse o técnico, que pediu a contratação do jogador vice-campeão paulista e eleito revelação do torneio com a camisa da Ponte Preta.

Clayson foi titular contra Vasco (jogou 81 minutos), Botafogo (79 minutos), Flamengo (66 minutos), Atlético-MG (do início ao fim) e Sport (74 minutos). Ele ainda não fez gols, mas deu assistências nas duas últimas apresentações e deixou o jogo contra os pernambucanos aplaudido pela torcida. Ele jogou 12 vezes pelo clube desde que foi contratado e, nas próximas semanas, pode proporcionar uma dor de cabeça a Fábio Carille.

Segundo a ideia de jogo do Corinthians, o padrão é um atacante e um meia nas pontas – no time ideal, eles são Romero e Jadson. Porém, a equipe funcionou bem e foi mais agressiva com dois atacantes (Romero e Clayson, que também organizava pelo meio). Até o dia 19, data da partida contra o Vitória, há muitas decisões a tomar…

Bermuda government cut grants but confirm commitment

The fallout from Bermuda’s poor showing at the ICC World Cup Qualifiers continues with the announcement that the government is reducing the grant to the Bermuda Cricket Board by $1 million

The fallout from Bermuda’s poor showing at the ICC World Cup Qualifiers continues with the announcement that the government is reducing the grant to the Bermuda Cricket Board by $1 million. The news comes against the backdrop of retirements and recriminations following the country’s failure to qualify for the 2011 World Cup and loss of ODI status.However, it could have been far worse and the BCB will be heartened by the assurance that the government will continue to support the game’s development.”The investment is not just about results of the national team, it has to be about development as well,” explained sports minister Glenn Blakeney. “It’s not just for the here and now but for the future which is why I feel we have made the right commitment with regard to the resources for soccer and cricket.”But he added his voice to those who have expressed concerns about the professionalism of the side. “The coach [Gus Logie] has articulated some of his concerns and they need to be looked at seriously. I think if we are going to be contracting our players and paying them there has to be very stringent criteria on what is expected – code of conduct, fitness consistent levels of fitness testing, which seems to be an area where we fall down.”He also said that the government remained committed to helping to improve the National Centre which is the home to Bermuda’s only approved international venue.”For the ground to be an ODI ground we need to make some significant changes there. It doesn’t necessarily mean that should be placed completely on the backburner with Bermuda losing it’s ODI status. An ODI ground can be available to a full international with other countries playing as well.Blakeney went on to say that he was concerned at the lack of public support for sports. “I would like to see more teams coming into the county. I want the public of Bermuda to feel a commitment to supporting our best at whatever level we are competing and I think that has been lost. When I was growing up you would have 2500 to 3000 people at a local game. We had teams like Manchester United, Southampton and Aston Villa coming into the country for pre-season tours. That has been lost and my thinking is that we need to bring that back.”I have to speak to the cricket board to see where their heads are at. They have lost some funding and we need to see what their vision is where their focus will be.”

"RMC" توضح سر غضب مبابي في مباراة باريس سان جيرمان ومونبلييه

كشفت إذاعة “RMC” الفرنسية السر وراء عبوس، كيليان مبابي نجم هجوم فريق باريس سان جيرمان في مباراة مونبيليه أمس في الدوري الفرنسي.

وكان باريس سان جيرمان قد انتصر على مونبلييه بنتيجة 5-2 في المباراة التي أقيمت على ملعب “حديقة الأمراء”، مساء أمس السبت، بالجولة الثانية من الدوري الفرنسي. شاهد ملخص مباراة باريس سان جيرمان ومونبلييه

وأظهر الفرنسي، تصرفات غير معتادة عنه خلال فوز فريقه على مونبلييه 5-2، أمس السبت، كما قدم أداءً متوسطًا.

مبابي أحرز هدفًا إلا أن الفرنسي أهدر ركلة جزاء في الدقيقة 23، وبدا مُستاءً بعض الشيء خلال أحداث المباراة.

ووفقا لإذاعة “مونت كارلو” الفرنسية، فإن لغة جسد مبابي طوال المباراة كانت تدل على الغضب، حيث إنه لم يحتفل بالهدف الذي أحرزه، كما وبخ زميه البرتغالي فيتينا، بسبب عدم التمرير له في إحدى الهجمات.

وقالت الإذاعة إن مبابي لم يوجه التحية للجمهور الباريسي عقب انتهاء المباراة، ولم يظهر أي ابتسامة طوال المواجهة.

وأرجعت السبب إلى أن مبابي لديه مشاكل شخصية كان يعاني منها، أمس السبت، إلا أنه أصر على خوض المباراة.

Cittadini recusa o São Paulo e quer foco no Santos; Levir elogia o meia

MatériaMais Notícias

Léo Cittadini entrou em apenas 13 jogos na temporada, sendo que foi titular com Levir Culpi pela primeira vez no empate sem gols com o Fluminense. Mesmo com pouco espaço no Santos, o meia recusou sondagens do São Paulo, que o procurou por pedido do técnico Dorival Júnior, com quem trabalhou no Peixe.

Segundo o próprio meia, sua prioridade é permanecer no Peixe e procurar mais oportunidades.

-Não falei que não quero ir. E quem cuida dessa parte são meus empresários. Mas estou focado no Santos e em trabalhar aqui – resumiu.

Com a saída de Thiago Maia, Yuri ganhou a posição, mas saiu do time diante do Flu. A tendência é que Cittadini tenha mais chances no meio de campo e vire titular.

O treinador do Tricolor procurou o jovem de 23 anos por sentir carência no meio de campo e nos volantes do time. No primeiro setor, Hernandes e Cueva foram os únicos que se formaram, já que Cícero foi afastado, enquanto no segundo,Jucilei, Petros e Araruna estão machucados e Militão ainda é muito jovem e com pouca experiência. Além de Wesley ter sido liberado para negociar com outro clube.

Nos bastidores, o meia dá preferência para clubes estrangeiros. Inclusive, tem passaporte italiano há mais de dois anos, para facilitar eventuais transferências para a Europa.

O técnico Levir Culpi afirma que não conversou com o meia sobre seu futuro e elogiou sua atuação como segundo volante diante do Fluminense.

-Soube disso (interesse do São Paulo). Ele é um menino bom, coloquei para jogar, mas não tenho menor controle sobre ele. Claro que posso dar minha opinião. Mas não sei o que pode acontecer. Não cheguei a falar diretamente com a diretoria sobre isso – pontuou o comandante.

Promovido da base em 2013, Cittadini tem 53 jogos pelo Peixe e já foi emprestado para a Ponte Preta, em 2014.

Manchester United: Fans react to Fabrizio Romano post

Manchester United are still thinking whether or not to part ways with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Antonio Conte keen on the Old Trafford position, should it become available.

That’s according to reliable reporter Fabrizio Romano and, as to be expected, a number of United supporters have been reacting to the update on social media.

Solskjaer’s position as manager has been under major threat following the 5-0 defeat to rivals Liverpool on Sunday, which made it four defeats from seven in all competitions.

Romano has been providing the latest on the Norwegian’s future since the loss to Jurgen Klopp’s side and revealed that Conte now wants the Red Devils job.

The United hierarchy are still yet to make a decision on Solskjaer, though, who signed a new contract through to 2024 earlier this year.

United fans react

Romano’s late-night Twitter post on Monday had plenty of United fans talking. This is what some had to say in reply, with many hoping to see the back of Solskjaer and the arribval of Conte.
