Fla estuda punir Diego Alves, que se recusou a viajar após ser barrado

MatériaMais Notícias

Após a recusa de Diego Alves em viajar para Curitiba, o Flamengo avalia punir o atleta e contornar a situação. A princípio, a direção da Gávea aplicará uma multa ao goleiro, que não concordou com a decisão de Dorival Júnior de manter César como titular e pediu para deixar a relação do jogo contra o Paraná, neste domingo, pela 30ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Até mesmo a rescisão de contrato está em pauta, caso Diego Alves mantenha a posição. Contratado em julho de 2017, o goleiro tem vínculo com o clube até o fim de 2020.

Oficialmente, a assessoria do clube da Gávea informou que Diego Alves não foi relacionado por questões pessoais. Recuperado da lesão na coxa esquerda que o afastou das últimas três rodadas, o camisa 1 voltou a treinar com o grupo, no Ninho do Urubu, nesta semana. No treino de sábado, ao ser informado que seria reserva, o goleiro mostrou-se insatisfeito e tentou argumentar, mas a comissão manteve a decisão. Assim, Diego Alves informou que não viajaria com o grupo.

A decisão do atleta não repercutiu bem entre jogadores, comissão técnica e diretoria, ainda mais por se tratar de um momento decisivo da temporada. Após a chegada de Dorival Júnior, o time “se fechou” para buscar o título do Brasileirão.

A principal preocupação da diretoria é não deixar o fato contaminar o bom ambiente do elenco, mantendo os atletas focados na disputa do campeonato.

Questionado sobre o episódio, Dorival adiou a decisão para segunda-feira.

– Não tem problema. O Diego é um grande profissional. Segunda-feira a gente resolve tudo isso – comentou o treinador, antes da partida contra o Paraná.

ماكمانامان: ليفربول عليه التأهل لـ دوري أبطال أوروبا أولًا ليتعاقد مع بيلينجهام

ما زال جودي بيلينجهام، نجم وسط فريق بوروسيا دورتموند، حائرًا ولم يحدد الفريق الذي سينتقل إليه الصيف المقبل، في ظل تنافس عدة أندية للحصول عليه، ومنها ريال مدريد وليفربول ومانشستر سيتي.

صاحب الـ19 عامًا، أبدى رغبته في اللعب لريال مدريد، لكن بيئته وأهله يفضلون الذهاب إلى ليفربول، لكن من الممكن أن يواجه النادي الإنجليزي عقبة عدم اللعب في دوري أبطال أوروبا الموسم القادم.

عائلة بيلينجهام تُفضل العودة إلى إنجلترا، لكن القرار النهائي سيكون للاعب نفسه والذي بحسب التقارير يميل إلى الانتقال إلى ريال مدريد، وسيتخذ قراره خلال الأسابيع المقبلة.

وقال أسطورة ليفريول وريال مدريد السابق، ستيف ماكمانامان في تصريحات نشرها موقع ليفربول إيكو: “لأكون صريحًا للغاية، أعتقد أن الأمر كله يتعلق بما إذا كان ليفربول سيتأهل لدوري أبطال أوروبا العام المقبل أم لا”.

وأضاف: “خرج ليفربول من دوري أبطال أوروبا في دور الـ16 على يد ريال مدريد، ونتيجة لذلك، فقدوا بعض الأموال، الفشل في الوصول إلى نصف النهائي أو نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا يمكن أن يكلف النادي ما بين 20 و30 مليون جنيه إسترليني”.

وتابع: “إذا لم يتأهلوا لدوري الأبطال، فهناك 50 مليون جنيه إسترليني أخرى من أموال الجائزة التي لن تكون متاحة لهم وهذه مشكلة، إذا حدث ذلك، فإن حقيقة أنهم لن يلعبوا في دوري أبطال أوروبا ستكون مشكلة كبيرة أخرى”.

وأكمل: “حتى الآن، يلعب بيلينجهام في دوري أبطال أوروبا كل عام مع بوروسيا دورتموند، لا توجد طريقة تجعله يرغب في الذهاب واللعب في الدوري الأوروبي لأنه سيريد اختبار نفسه ضد الأفضل”.

وواصل: “يجب أن يكون ليفربول في دوري أبطال أوروبا إذا أرادوا جلب اللاعبين الذين يبحثون عنهم، إذا دخلت في حرب مزايدة على بيلينجهام، فأنا أعتقد أن ليفربول سيخسر، سيكون لدى مانشستر سيتي وريال مدريد المال أكثر من ليفربول”.

واختتم: “يجب أن يرغب بيلينجهام حقًا في القدوم إلى ليفربول إذا لم يكن الريدز في دوري أبطال أوروبا الموسم المقبل، فأنا لا أراه قادمًا على الإطلاق”.

فيرمينو يحسم صفقة انتقال فيليكس إلى تشيلسي

تتأثر تحركات تشيلسي في موسم الانتقالات الصيفي المقبل، بلاعب فريق ليفربول روبرتو فيرمينو، حسبما ذكرت صحيفة “ميرور” الإنجليزية.

ومن المعروف أن اللاعب البرازيلي، روبرتو فيرمينو، سيغادر ملعب “الأنفيلد” نهاية الموسم الحالي بمجرد نهاية عقده، حيث لا يتطلع إلى التجديد.

وذكرت صحيفة “ميرور” الإنجليزية أن فيرمينو يلعب دورًا في صفقة انتقال البرتغالي جواو فيليكس إلى صفوف تشيلسي، بشكل دائم.

وكان تشيلسي قد ظفر بخدمات فيليكس، من أتلتيكو مدريد، في موسم الانتقالات الشتوي الماضي على سبيل الإعارة حتى نهاية الموسم الحالي.

ويتطلع النادي اللندني إلى الظفر بخدمات فيليكس بمقتضى صفقة انتقال دائم، ولكنه ينتظر إيجاد أتلتيكو مدريد للبديل المناسب للاعب.

وأشارت إلى أن أتلتيكو مدريد يضع روبرتو فيرمينو كبديل محتمل ومرشح قوي لخلافة فيليكس في صفوف الفريق.

وأوضحت أنه بالرغم من ذلك، فإن هناك مشكلة حاليًا تتمثل في أن فيرمينو يرفض الدخول في أي محادثات مع أندية أخرى قبل مغادرة ليفربول في صيف 2023.

وسيضطر أتلتيكو مدريد إلى انتظار معرفة رد فيرمينو على إمكانية انتقاله إلى النادي الإسباني، قبل حسم مستقبل فيليكس وفكرة انتقاله الدائم إلى تشيلسي، مما سيجعل الأخير في حالة ترقب وانتظار.

Choosing bowlers for qualifier was difficult – Sehwag

Virender Sehwag, the Delhi Daredevils captain, defended the decision to play three fast bowlers and just one spinner during their qualifier against Kolkata Knight Riders

ESPNcricinfo staff23-May-2012Virender Sehwag, the Delhi Daredevils captain, has defended the decision to play three specialist fast bowlers and just one spinner during their qualifier against Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday. Knight Riders beat Daredevils by 18 runs to make their first IPL final.Daredevils opted for lone spinner Pawan Negi and sidelined the other left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem on a spinning pitch. Sehwag said he found it difficult to choose his bowling unit for the match, as all his bowlers were in good form. “Varun Aaron and Umesh Yadav were bowling brilliantly so I could not have dropped them. The bowlers have always performed for us and most of them have won Man-of-the-Match awards, including Pawan Negi and Shahbaz Nadeem,” Sehwag said.”It was a tough choice when it came to selecting the bowlers. We thought that the grass might help the pacers. In games like these, you need to back yourself in whatever decisions you make. But I don’t think it was our day.”Sehwag attributed his side’s loss to a poor batting display. “We didn’t bat well. The target of 163 was very much achievable on this wicket. But we collapsed and lost two early wickets and it did not help us. We couldn’t make it in the last few overs,” he said. “We lost a couple of wickets up front but still we were in the game till the 15th over. Anything could have happened, but we stuck to our strength rather than making too many changes.”Mahela Jayawardene, the Daredevils batsman, said the decision to play just one spinner was the right one. “Yes (we played only one spinner). But we controlled things much better in the (first) 15 overs, which we bowled. That has been our strength.”The wicket wasn’t too slow (or) too spinner friendly. It was spinning a little bit, but when we were chasing, we saw it wasn’t too hard to play the spinners.”Jayawardene conceded Daredevils made a tactical error by sending Negi in to bat before Ross Taylor, who came in at No.7, when the asking-rate was more than 14 an over. “We made a few mistakes, probably tactically we made a few mistakes as well, but we will learn from that,” he said. “We were thinking (of playing) the left-handers we had. But it was bit too late (in the innings to do that). We should have sent the left-hander in much earlier than we did. Maybe (we should’ve sent him) in place of Venu (Venugopal Rao) so that Ross also could have had a bit more overs to bat.”

Jayawardene cherishes victory over England

Mahela Jayawardene described Sri Lanka’s victory in the first Test against England as “a big win”

Mahela Jayawardene’s manner was as unassuming as ever, but he knew the importance of Sri Lanka’s Test victory against England in Galle. “This was a big win,” he said. “It’s been a tough period for us.”Twenty months earlier, on the same ground, the ancient walls of the Dutch Fort were lit up by fireworks as Muttiah Muralitharan ended his Test career in momentous fashion, the first man to 800 Test wickets, achieved in Bollywood style: India’s last pair at the crease, Sri Lanka’s president on hand to bestow congratulations, and finally a catch at slip by Jayawardene himself to ensure a perfect finale.At last, after this victory, their first on home soil since Murali’s perfect send off, Jayawardene dared to imagine a bright future for Sri Lanka without the bowler who sustained them for a decade. “Any Test win is important, but to do it against the best side in the world is a moment to cherish,” he said. “It’s been tough for us to get things right but the boys worked really hard to improve as a team and today we showed a lot of character.”Jayawardene is a reluctant Sri Lanka captain, a respected performer who had contentedly handed the leadership over to his close friend, Kumar Sangakkara, only for Sangakkara to resign after Sri Lanka lost the World Cup final a year ago. The uncertain reign of Tillakaratne Dilshan was aggravated by Sri Lanka cricket’s financial meltdown because of overspending on their World Cup. Not only was there no Murali, there was no money. After receiving requests from high places to come to the country’s aid, Jayawardene realised that his leadership days were far from spent.Sri Lankan cricket needed something in which people could show faith and that something was Jayawardene. Such faith was needed when England were 233 for 4, 108 short of victory. The new ball was six overs old and Sri Lanka’s desperate need for their first home victory since the retirement of Murali was by no means certain to be answered. This time nobody had planned any fireworks.”The England line-up is top class so we had to just wait patiently,” Jayawardene said.” After 60 overs the ball got really soft, there wasn’t much for the bowlers with the slowness of the wicket so we had to wait for the second new ball. We tried to not give too many runs away so we had a comfort zone. We knew we’d be able to create more opportunities and that’s what happened. There were a couple of really good catches to turn things around for us and then the bowlers took over.”Jayawardene’s praise of Rangana Herath, his stock left-arm spinner, after he took six wickets in the first innings had been interpreted by some as a depiction of Herath as “the new Murali”. Anybody who knows Jayawardene would recognise that was not his intention. The aim has been to give Herath a stable environment in which he can forget comparisons with Muralitharan and concentrate on reawakening his own more modest potential. Match figures of 12 for 171 suggested that mission has been accomplished and made him only the fifth Sri Lanka bowler to take 10 wickets in a Test: they have achieved it 27 times, but 22 of those were down to Murali.”Herath has been around a long time and is a class act,” Jayawardene said. “He’s the most experienced bowler I have right now and he’s taken responsibility not just here but away from home when he bowled us to victory in Durban. He’s showing a lot of class and showed a lot of patience. We knew had to be patient and Rangana kept it going. It was a long spell for him but he kept on going and took crucial wickets for us. I’m very happy with the performance.”We know England are very good opposition so we will cherish this one. It was a good challenge for us to go against the No. 1 team. We knew we had to work really hard to get a result from them so I’m quite happy with that. It gives us an idea of where we are right now and where we need to improve. Now need to maintain consistency.”We can still improve overall. As a batting group we need to be more consistent and as bowlers all four guys need to chip in to get 20 wickets. We will never be the team where everything works. We have some youngsters in the side and they need to have time to develop. There is a lot of hard work to do over the next 6-12 months. We did not have a complete game, but very close to that.”Edited by David Hopps

Gabigol protagonista e muito mais: os méritos de Cuca na alta do Santos

MatériaMais Notícias

Perto de completar 40 dias no comando do Santos, Cuca tem méritos na evolução do time na temporada. Alguns pontos específicos dão o tom do trabalho do treinador neste segundo semestre. Talvez o principal deles seja a recuperação do bom futebol de Gabriel, com estímulo, mudança de posicionamento e conversa com o camisa 10. O Peixe não perde há oito jogos, não sofre gols há sete e subiu rodada a rodada da 17ª colocação para a oitava, com uma invencibilidade de cinco partidas.

O posicionamento de Gabriel em campo mudou com Cuca. Embora siga fazendo a função de centroavante, o camisa 10 passou a ocupar melhor as faixas do campo, como o próprio treinador ponderou. Se antes jogava mais de costas para o gol, agora joga mais de lado, podendo se munir da própria arrancada em direção ao ataque. Antes, seu jogo era ceifado pelo falta de intimidade com a função. Gabigol tem ótima finalização e velocidade para ser um camisa 9 mais móvel.

Gabriel funciona muito melhor quando ganhar liberdade no ataque, mas pode continuar a jogar próximo da área, sem perder, assim, o bom chute a gol. Na prática, não precisa ficar preso ao modus operandi de um centroavante clássico, mas também não deixa de ser a referência no ataque santista. É o norte do ataque alvinegro.

– Gabriel foi mais uma vez decisivo, ocupa bem os espaços. Não é para ser a referência, não fica só na área. Tem uma arrancada muito boa, presença de área, arrancada para acompanhar a jogada do Derlis para fazer o gol. Tem ocupado melhor as faixas do campo que centroavante ocupa. Estamos melhorando. Temos buscado isso – disse Cuca a respeito do Menino da Vila.

Os números do Santos nos últimos jogos:

8 partidas invicto
7 jogos sem sofrer gols
5 rodadas sem perder no Brasileirão

Além de Gabriel, outros pontos chamam a atenção no time. O primeiro deles é a capacidade de organização e bom posicionamento da defesa com o treinador. Mesmo com a mudança das peças – Lucas Veríssimo e Luiz Felipe perderam alguns jogos, embora o segundo já esteja recuperado. Gustavo Henrique tem feito ótimos jogos e Robson Alves, o antigo Bambu, aos poucos mostra suas qualidades também.

Por fim, chama a atenção em Cuca a capacidade de buscar soluções. Rodrygo não vinha bem nos últimos jogos, mas tem sido treinado pelo “professor” para atuar mais centralizado, desafogando o setor mais carente do time. Se antes parecia um desperdício ter o Rayo por ali, no jogo contra o Paraná mostrou que pode ser sim um bom “construtor” de jogadas para o Santos.

Forte mesmo com a mudança de algumas peças – um dos melhores nos últimos jogos, Carlos Sánchez, por exemplo, está lesionado, o Santos vai provando que o trabalho está sendo bem feito e dando certo.

Com gol de goleiro, Ceará confirma recuperação e bate o Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

Na última terça-feira, véspera da partida contra o Ceará, no Castelão, o Corinthians recebeu a visita de Rogério Ceni, ídolo do São Paulo e atual técnico do Fortaleza. O encontro de cortesia acabou se transformando em ironia na noite desta quarta-feira. Com o apoio de sua torcida, o Vozão confirmou a reação no Campeonato Brasileiro e, depois de vencer o Flamengo no Maracanã, bateu o Timão por 2 a 1 com um gol de… goleiro! Fã de Ceni e revelado pelo São Paulo, Everson anotou seu primeiro tento de falta na carreira, abrindo o placar para a vitória cearense. Calyson fez o segundo e Roger descontou para os paulistas.

A amarga coincidência castigou um Corinthians que não engrena no Brasileiro. Com mais uma derrota sob o comando do técnico Osmar Loss, o Timão chega muito pressionado para o clássico contra o Palmeiras no próximo domingo e a semifinal da Copa do Brasil contra o Flamengo na próxima quarta-feira. Já o Ceará ultrapassa a Chapecoense, que fica na penúltima posição, e chega a 23 pontos na tabela, 18 deles apenas no pós-Copa, sob o comando do técnico Lisca.

A cobrança perfeita
​Everson vinha dando sinais de sua aptidão para as faltas nas últimas rodadas. Contra o Vasco, em São Januário, a bola passou raspando. Contra o líder São Paulo, no Morumbi, outra vez muito perto. Então não foi surpresa quando ele travessou o campo ainda no primeiro tempo e colocou a bola no ângulo de Walter para fazer 1 a 0. A batida forte premiou o ótimo início do Ceará, que criou ao menos três chances antes dos primeiros 15 minutos.

Quem retaguarda é essa?
​O Corinthians voltou a sofrer em seu sistema defensivo. Descompactado, deu espaços ao Ceará, que ampliou no início do segundo tempo, quando ainda era melhor. Azar de Danilo Avelar que empurrou a bola para as próprias redes, mas a arbitragem acabou anotando o gol para Calyson, que estava no lance. O técnico Osmar Loss terá de fazer alguma coisa para a equipe se defender de maneira mais sólida, tendo em vista dois jogadores inexperientes na zaga, o lateral-direito Mantuan, de 21 anos, e o zagueiro Léo Santos, de 19.

A insuficiente melhora corintiana
​Depois do 2 a 0, Loss resolveu mexer no time e deu certo. Mateus Vital entrou no lugar de Douglas e deixou o time mais ofensivo. Romero teve grande chance de cabeça, mas Everson, iluminado, defendeu. Na sequência, Jadson colocou Roger na cara do gol e o centroavante finalizou com precisão. Fez seu quarto gol com a camisa do Timão, o terceiro no Brasileiro. A melhora, porém, não trouxe volume de jogo que pressionasse os donos da casa. Não foi difícil administrar o resultado diante da pouca eficácia corintiana.

Agenda:
O Ceará agora encara o América-MG no domingo em Belo Horizonte, enquanto o Corinthians visita o rival Palmeiras no Allianz Parque, também no domingo.
