São Paulo tem dupla estrangeira como arma para o Majestoso

MatériaMais Notícias

Crise e pressão têm sido palavras recorrentes no noticiário do São Paulo dos últimos cinco anos. O clube, que não levanta um troféu desde a temporada 2012, quando conquistou a Copa Sul-Americana, tem a chance de modificar o retrospecto negativo perante seu torcedor nesta edição do Campeonato Paulista. Neste domingo, às 16h, o Tricolor encara o rival Corinthians, no Morumbi, pelo jogo de ida das semifinais do estadual. Para isso, a equipe do uruguaio Diego Aguirre aposta na força de dois estrangeiros.

Desfalcado do peruano Cueva, que defende a seleção de seu país nos amistosos preparatórios para a Copa do Mundo da Rússia, o Tricolor conta com a garra do equatoriano Arboleda e do colombiano Tréllez para o duelo diante do rival paulista.

Titular absoluto, Arboleda é um dos pilares do sistema defensivo do São Paulo nesta temporada. Em 18 jogos, o Tricolor levou apenas 12 gols (média de 0,66 gol sofrido por jogo) e o equatoriano é o líder técnico da zaga, que tem o desafio de manter o número baixo diante do Corinthians.

Já o centroavante Tréllez assumiu a condição de titular nas quartas de final do Paulistão, na segunda partida contra o São Caetano, e obteve a confiança que lhe faltava ao fazer o primeiro gol do confronto. Em alta, o atacante espera manter o ritmo e ajudar o São Paulo a voltar a uma decisão do estadual, algo que não acontece desde 2003.

– Precisamos fazer tudo direito para conquistar alguma vantagem para o jogo de volta, porque o nosso objetivo é buscar a vaga na final. Acredito que serão dois jogos bem disputados, difíceis e por isso precisamos ter atenção do início ao fim da semifinal – cravou o camisa 17 do Tricolor, que deve ser escalado como referência no ataque são-paulino.

Boas recordações

Da última vez que o São Paulo conseguiu derrotar o Corinthians, no segundo turno do Brasileirão de 2016, o protagonismo foi dos estrangeiros. Naquela ocasião, Cueva fez um gol e foi eleito o melhor jogador da partida. Além dele, o argentino Chávez também deixou sua marca, na goleada, por 4 a 0, perante o rival, no Morumbi.

Ciente da importância do apoio da torcida para conseguir repetir a façanha daquela partida, o colombiando Tréllez fez questão de chamar os são-paulinos para o estádio. Na tarde de sábado, o Tricolor já havia vendido 27 mil ingressos de forma antecipada e a expectativa é de casa cheia na tarde de domingo.

– Nosso torcedor será muito importante, porque com o estádio lotado o time fica mais forte. Tenho certeza de que o Morumbi receberá um grande público, e que a gente saiba aproveitar isso para conquistar um resultado positivo – concluiu Tréllez.

England target No. 1 ranking

England’s coach, Andy Flower, has praised the ruthlessness of his Ashes-winning cricketers, but warned that their 3-1 series win must not be seen as an end in itself

England’s coach, Andy Flower, has praised the ruthlessness of his Ashes-winning cricketers, but warned that their 3-1 series win must not be seen as an end in itself, as the squad prepares to embark on a tough ODI campaign against Australia that will test their readiness for the World Cup in the subcontinent later this year.Speaking on the morning after England’s innings-and-83-run victory in Sydney, Flower said that, while the successful defence of the Ashes in Australia was a special achievement, it would be disrespectful to the challenge posed by other countries to single it out as a crowning glory.”Our celebrations were good, and well deserved by the players,” said Flower. “We had a good time and I think the guys are reflecting on a job well done and a job that they are very proud of. But our ultimate goal is to be No. 1 in the world, and in no way would I demean the Ashes series in saying that. Any series against any international nation is important in its own right, and any Test win is a very proud moment for me and our players. I think it would be disrespectful to view it any differently.”England’s itinerary has left them little time to sit on their laurels. Much as was the case in 2009, when the team departed for Belfast shortly after wrapping up victory at The Oval, the squad set off for Canberra on Saturday to prepare for the two Twenty20 internationals that precede the seven-match ODI series. “There’s not much rest time,” said Flower. “The guys won’t be able to bask long in the sunshine. They have to get their training boots on, and get back to work soon.”One man who will not be joining them on that trip, however, is Alastair Cook. England’s Test vice-captain is not a member of the one-day set-up, and so he is set to fly back to England on Saturday evening, to reflect on his phenomenal achievement in racking up 766 runs in the five Tests, a tally that has only ever been exceeded by one Englishman in Australia – Wally Hammond, who made 905 runs in 1928-29.”Cook had a particularly outstanding series,” said Flower. “He’s a very strong young man, he’s displayed that strength in a number of ways through his career, and he’s overcome most challenges that have been put in front of him, which is testament to that strength of character. Our players are picked to play international cricket because we believe they are good enough, and crucially they believe they are good enough.”Cook’s turnaround in form has been stunning, after he struggled to 100 runs in the first four Tests of the English season before saving his short-term place in the side with a gutsy second-innings century against Pakistan at The Oval.”Considering that people were calling for his head not so long ago, it is an outstanding riposte,” said Flower. “Although that’s not why he did it. It was because of the pride he has in his own performance and because he is very proud to play for England. I am very happy for him personally, and we’re all thankful that he made those contributions to the team for us.”The team ethic was the defining feature of England’s Test campaign, and of their rise and rise in the past 12 months, in which they have not lost a single series or tournament in any form of the game for 15 series and counting. The knock-on effect of such confidence is that the less-experienced members of the team, such as Tim Bresnan and Chris Tremlett, have been able to slot into the set-up without missing a beat.”Bresnan and Tremlett stepped into the breach very skillfully I thought, and held themselves well under pressure,” said Flower. “It’s not easy to do when you don’t play a lot of cricket at the start of the series, and you’re asked to take over because of injury or form, but they did it very well. It’s down to a combination of things. It’s a testament to their character and the way they handle pressure, but also a testament to the unity in the side, and the fact that they felt comfortable coming in and didn’t feel like outsiders.”The fact that England have forged a squad of international-standard players, rather than just a first eleven as was the case in 2005, augurs well for the challenges that lie ahead, with Flower hinting that changes of position and personnel may come into play when the team reaches the subcontinent in February for the World Cup. But all the while, that aim of No. 1 remains the ultimate focus.”It’s realistic, it’s achievable,” said Flower. “I don’t know if we’ll get there or not, but it’s certainly what we are aiming for. This result will give the players a lot of confidence, and some of the results they are achieving are building that confidence all the time. Winning the Twenty20 World Cup, playing well in South Africa, and winning two of the last Ashes series are all things that will build the confidence of the side.”

Lanterna da competição, o Concórdia se lançou à frente e chegou a comemorar aos 11 minutos, quando Marcos Paulo balançou a rede. Porém, o árbitro marcou impedimento. Mesmo assim, os donos da casa seguiram em cima, em tentativas de Gelson e Marcos Paulo.

O Galo do Oeste se lançou de vez ao ataque, mas viu Lacerda perder a cabeça ao cometer a falta em Emerson. Aos 52, o time da casa teve sua chance derradeira, quando Lacerda arriscou. Após a bola passar por todos, Vinícius Baiano chegou atrasado e não concluiu. O Joinville garantia sua vitória por 1 a 0, ia a 24 pontos, e mantinha o Concórdia na lanterna do Catarinense.

إبراهيموفيتش: لن نعرف حقيقة ما حدث مع رونالدو.. ورسالتي له ليست مهمة

تحدث السويدي زلاتان إبراهيموفيتش عن توديع منتخب البرتغال لمنافسات كأس العالم قطر 2022، ورسالته لـ كريستيانو رونالدو، وكواليس فسخ عقده مع مانشستر يونايتد.

وودع منتخب البرتغال منافسات مونديال قطر 2022 أمام المنتخب المغربي الذي تأهل لنصف النهائي لملاقاة فرنسا.

ولدى سؤاله عما إذا كان سيرسل رسالة إلى كريستيانو رونالدو الذي ودع كأس العالم مع البرتغال أمام المغرب، رد إبراهيموفيتش: “أعتقد أنه ليس من المهم ما يمكنني قوله، أعني أن الجميع يريدون الفوز بكأس العالم، لكن لا يفوز الجميع بكأس العالم”.

وأشار زلاتان في تصريحات نشرها موقع “beIN sports”: “الجميع يحاولون، وإذا لم تفوز بها، فمن الواضح أنك ستصبح عاطفيًا، وإذا فزت بها، ستصبح عاطفيًا أيضًا بطريقة مختلفة”.

وأضاف إبراهيموفيتش أن القصة الحقيقية وراء خروج رونالدو غير الرسمي من مانشستر يونايتد لن يتم الكشف عنها أبدًا، مما يجعل من الصعب عليه التفكير في الأمر.

واسترسل: “خروجه من يونايتد، أعتقد أنه عندما تحدث الأشياء، لن نعرف القصة الحقيقية أبدًا، يقولون ما يريدون قوله، ويقول ما يحتاج إلى قوله لحماية نفسه، ثم لديك المدرب الذي يقول هذه الأشياء لحماية نفسه”.

وأتم: “ثم يقول النادي أشياء – ليس مثلي، أنا سأخبرك كيف حدث الأمر بالفعل، لكننا جميعًا مختلفون الجميع حريصون على صورتهم، بالنسبة لي، الصورة المثالية هي أن تكون على طبيعتك، القصة الحقيقية لن نعرفها”.

Goiás descarta a contratação do atacante Rafael Marques

MatériaMais Notícias

Depois de ser cogitado na equipe do Goiás, o atacante Rafael Marques está fora dos planos para a diretoria alviverde. Ao LANCE!, Túlio Lustosa, o gestor de futebol do time goiano, afirmou que a lesão de Fred, do Cruzeiro, pode ter sido fundamental para a não concretização do acordo. Com menos um atacante à disposição, Rafael Marques deve receber mais chances na Raposa.

– Acho que a lesão do Fred atrapalhou um pouco a negociação, porém, para ser sincero também não vi muito interesse por parte do Nenê Zini, agente do atleta, de concretizar a vinda de Rafael Marques para o Goiás – explicou Túlio.

O LANCE! também entrou em contato com o empresário do jogador, Nenê Zini, citado pelo gestor do clube goiano na conversa anterior. O representante do jogador disse que não houve uma proposta oficial do Goiás.

– Nesta semana, ele está focado na Libertadores e no final do Estadual. Com relação ao Rafael: não recebi nenhuma proposta oficial.

Mesmo com a não vinda de Rafael Marques, o Goiás continuará no mercado para contratar um jogador de referência no ataque para temporada, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, da Série B.

Vinay Kumar troubled Central Zone’s batsman with his bouncers•Sportz Solutions

South Zone have taken a stranglehold of their semi-final against Central Zone at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, after their seamers helped bowl Central out for 178 on the second day. South didn’t enforce the follow-on and were 397 ahead with eight wickets in hand by the end of the day.After the first day had been dominated by South’s batsmen, the first session of the second day saw five wickets fall. Central got South’s last two wickets cheaply, fast bowler Umesh Yadav dismissing overnight double-centurion Manish Pandey for 218 to end the innings. But Central were in trouble by lunch, with each of the three Karnataka seamers in South’s team – Sreenath Aravind, Vinay Kumar and Abhimanyu Mithun – taking a wicket each, to leave them 61 for 3 at the break. Aravind set the tone, bowling a very tight line and getting Central opener Aakash Chopra for four. Vinay Kumar and Mithun picked it up from there, as Central’s top order struggled.The seamers continued to dominate after the break, with Vinay Kumar testing the batsmen with some short balls. He got Naman Ojha to fend one to forward short leg and Abhinav Mukund held on to a sharp catch. Devendra Bundela never looked comfortable. His first runs were an edge off Mithun that fell short of Manish Pandey at second slip and ran away to the third-man fence. He looked uneasy against Vinay Kumar’s short stuff. Vinay Kumar tried a slower bouncer and it ended up reaching Bundela at under 80kph, but Bundela still almost ducked under it and hooked it for a single to deep square leg as an afterthought. Rajasthan’s Ashok Menaria looked the best of Central’s batsman, and raced to a boundary-filled 79 off 63 balls. But the rest of Central’s batting didn’t support him and they conceded a 265-run first-innings lead.South decided to bat again and both their openers – Mukund and Robin Uthappa – got half-centuries as South reached 132 for 2 at the close of play, with Mukund still batting on 60.

North Zone have the advantage in their match against West Zone at the Moti Bagh Stadium in Vadodara. West trail by 284 runs with five wickets in hand at the end of the second day, but it could have been worse for them. After North had amassed 460 in the first innings, West slumped to 63 for 4 before a 107-run partnership between Mumbai’s Wasim Jaffer and Saurashtra’s Ravindra Jadeja gave their score some respectability. Legspinner Amit Mishra dismissed Jaffer four overs before stumps, leaving West staring at a stiff task.North started the day on 315 for 5 and their lower order added some useful runs to take them to a strong total. Overnight batsman Uday Kaul took his score from 55 to 89 and then seamer Sumit Narwal scored 59 off 53 balls, as West struggled to wipe out the tail. Narwal then did the job with the ball, taking three early wickets to leave West in all sorts of trouble.
