Oswaldo minimiza desvantagem e mantém confiança por vaga na Libertadores

MatériaMais Notícias

O empate em 2 a 2 com o Corinthians foi prejudicial ao Atlético-MG, que briga por vaga na Libertadores. Com o resultado, a equipe mineira caiu para a décima colocação na tabela do Campeonato Brasileiro e fica a dois pontos do Vasco, último time no G7. No Itaquerão, Otero abriu o placar para o Galo, mas Jadson e Marquinhos Gabriel garantiram a virada corintiana. Aos 19 minutos do segundo tempo, Fred deixou tudo igual. Após a partida, o técnico Oswaldo de Oliveira comentou o resultado.

– Foi um jogo excelente, muito movimentado, com as duas equipes criando. Nós tivemos a chance, o Corinthians também teve. Qualquer um dos dois que vencesse seria com mérito – disse o comandante durante coletiva de imprensa.

O Atlético-MG ainda teve uma boa chance de garantir a vitória aos 22 minutos, quando o time partiu em contra-ataque o Robinho alcançou Fred pela direita. Sozinho na cara do gol, o atacante driblou o goleiro Cássio, mas chutou a bola por cima do travessão. Apesar da falha no lance que poderia ter garantido a vitória ao Galo, Oswaldo de Oliveira diz que a antecipação de Fred na jogada foi tão prejudicial quando uma suposta irregularidade no primeiro gol do Corinthians.

– Não foi só esse lance do Fred, teve outro lance capital também. Jô estava impedido no gol do Corinthians, e isso é decisivo. Se não tivesse empate, nós poderíamos conseguir a vitória. Fred fez a jogada lindamente, mas sentiu que vinha alguém atrás dele e antecipou o chute, que subiu um pouco. Faltou alguém gritar tranquilizando que ele era completamente o senhor da jogada. Ele poderia até ter avançado mais, mas antecipou o chute e perdeu o gol. Eu insisto que divido o demérito desse lance com o gol em que Jô estava impedido – explicou.

O resultado complicou a caminhada do Atlético-MG rumo à Libertadores de 2018. Agora, com 51 pontos, a equipe perde duas posições na tabela e se distancia do Vasco, último time no G7, por dois pontos. Ainda há a possibilidade da abertura de nove vagas para a competição. Para isso acontecer, o Flamengo precisaria conquistar a Sul-Americana e o Grêmio teria que levantar a taça Libertadores deste ano. No próximo domingo, o Galo volta aos gramados com a difícil missão de vencer o Grêmio e garantir vaga no torneio continental.

– Acabei de falar com os jogadores. É claro que é difícil depois desse empate, mas vamos buscar até o final. Ainda temos um jogo. Pode ser que a gente consiga, pois tem muito a acontecer. Vamos insistir com isso. Alertei a todos que temos de nos preocupar com a recuperação e, em seguida, com a nossa preparação para o próximo jogo, que será decisivo Temos de contar com resultados alheios. Mas, de qualquer forma, ainda temos três pontos para buscar – finalizou o técnico.

Injured Zaheer to miss ODI series

India have been dealt a jolt ahead of the one-day series with news that Zaheer Khan has been ruled out with a muscle pull

India have been dealt a jolt ahead of the one-day series with news that Zaheer Khan has been ruled out with a muscle strain in his leg. The Indian board named Sreesanth as his replacement.Zaheer, who did not take the field on day five of the Kolkata Test, pulled up with what appeared a painful right knee after bowling one over during the afternoon session on day four yesterday, and did not return to bowl on the final day as India attempted to square the series.Prior to walking off the field yesterday, Zaheer had stepped off on a couple of occasions for treatment.Zaheer, 31, made his international comeback for the Tests against Sri Lanka late last year having recovered from the injury he sustained during the 2009 IPL. He featured in the tri-series in Bangladesh last month as well as the two Tests there. Zaheer’s fitness will undoubtedly be monitored closely considering the third season of the IPL is a few weeks away.

Harrison drops Leeds shocker at West Ham

Leeds United suffered yet another early exit from a domestic cup competition after they were beaten by West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side will have to do it all again next weekend when the two sides face each other in the Premier League and the Argentine head coach may want to reconsider his team selection.

Several of his key first-team stars badly let him down in the capital, amongst the few academy prospects that made the starting lineup.

Goals from Manuel Lanzini and Jarrod Bowen wrapped up the victory for the home side.

The Whites edged the possession but failed to convert their dominance with the ball, registering only two shots on target throughout the 90 minutes. Some of the fault must therefore lie with Bielsa’s attackers.

Jack Harrison was particularly underwhelming and he could not kick on from his strike against Burnley last weekend.

LeedsLive reporter Beren Cross slammed the 25-year-old and graded him as the visitors’ joint lowest-rated performer in his post-match ratings column.

‘The Leeds attack never seem to be firing for any length of time. Harrison among those who had little impact on the match. 4,’ he wrote.

Indeed, the £13.5m-rated dynamo struggled to assert any sort of influence in the final third – as per SofaScore, Harrison managed just one shot off target, whilst he managed only 45 touches – some six touches fewer than goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

From his possession, he lost the ball 12 times – once every nearly four touches – and he was also very lightweight, winning just one duel from seven (14%).

Elsewhere, he missed one big chance and only 50% of his dribbling attempts were successful, which further suggests his struggles up against the Irons’ young full-back, Ben Johnson.

Earning around £60k-per-week at Elland Road, you’d expect more from Harrison, especially considering he was one of the more experienced members of this attack.

He badly let Bielsa down on the day and his place is surely at risk heading into next weekend’s clash.

سون هيونج مدافعًا عن كونتي ضد الانتقادات: علينا التضحية والتمسك به

أكد سون هيونج مين، لاعب فريق توتنهام، أنه يتعين عليهم التضحية وتقديم كل ما لديهم من أجل المدرب أنطونيو كونتي.

ويتعرض كونتي للكثير من الانتقادات في الأونة الأخيرة بسبب تراجع مستوى الفريق وتذبذب النتائج.

وخسر توتنهام يوم السبت الماضي أمام آرسنال، في ديربي شمال لندن في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، بثلاثة أهداف مقابل هدف.

وسقط الديوك في فخ التعادل السلبي مع فرانكفورت، في دوري أبطال أوروبا أمس في الجولة الثالثة من دور مجموعات البطولة.

وقال سون هيونج في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية: “من المهم التمسك بكونتي”.

وأضاف: “لقد رأينا الموسم الماضي أن لا أحد يعتقد أننا سنكون هنا في الوقت الراهن، في الموسم الماضي لم يصدق أحد أننا سنكون في دوري الأبطال”.

وواصل: “القائد يريد دائمًا المزيد والمزيد، وبصفتي لاعبًا أريد أن أتبع طريقه، أو تعرف ما هو قادم، إذا لم نتبعه فأنت تعلم أنك تكافح”.

وأكد: “علينا أن نتبعه، لا يوجد خيار لأنه فائز وأعتقد أن هذا ما نفعله، التضحية والقيام بالأشياء الصعبة”.

إنييستا: عودة ميسي لـ برشلونة صعبة.. وجافي وبيدري يسيران على نهجي

يرى لاعب نادي برشلونة الأسبق، أندريس إنييستا، صعوبة في عودة ليونيل ميسي إلى الفريق الأول لكرة القدم مرة أخرى بعد الرحيل إلى باريس سان جيرمان.

وانتقل ميسي إلى باريس سان جيرمان في صيف 2021 بدون مقابل، وكان الأرجنتيني زميلًا لإنييستا في الفترة من 2004 حتى 2018 حتى رحل الإسباني إلى فيسيل كوبي في الدوري الياباني.

ووضح إنييستا وجهة نظره في الأمر خلال حواره مع صحيفة “لاجازيتا ديلو سبورت” الإيطالية، وقال: “أراها صعبة ومعقدة، لكنك في كرة القدم لا تعرف أبدًا ماذا سيحدث”.

وعن موسم برشلونة الحالي ومباراة إنتر ميلان: “الخسارة في إيطاليا كانت سيئة للغاية، دائمًا مباريات إنتر تكون صعبة ومثيرة، لكن ما حدث خيبة أمل، كانت هناك حالات تحكيمية واضحة والجميع تحدث عنها لكن الخسارة تترك بأثر سيء”.

وتابع: “يجب أن يفوز برشلونة في مباراة كامب نو، لنبقى على فرصنا في دوري أبطال أوروبا، مباراة حاسمة، إنتر ميلان لديه فريق رائع، لكن يجب علينا أخذ زمام المبادرة ونسجل، إذا ارتكبت خطأ ستتحمل عقباته”.

وأضاف: “الهزيمة الواحدة وسط الانتصارات كفيلة ببث الشكوك، لكن الفوز يمنح الفريق القوة اللازمة للاستمرار، هناك لاعبون رائعون ويحتاجون لبعض الوقت حتى يتأقلموا سويًا”.

وذكرياته أمام إنتر ميلان: “سيئة، لقد أخرجونا من دوري أبطال أوروبا في نصف نهائي 2010، كذلك تعرضت لإصابة، لم أكن أعرف إذا كنت سأكون في كأس العالم أم لا، كان بمثابة خيبة أمل مزدوجة بالنسبة لي، لكن في مباراة الإياب كان لنا هدف صحيح سجله بويان كركيتش، لكن مباريات إنتر ميلان دائمًا مليئة بالإثارة”.

وجافي وبيدري: “يجب أن يتعلما من بوسكيتس، يمكنه مساعدتهما على التطور داخل وخارج الملعب، كلاهما يلعب بشكل رائع مع برشلونة، لا اعتقد أنهما يشعران بأي ضغط، كما كنا نفعل أنا وتشافي، فهما يحملان مسئولية خط الوسط الهجومي ولا يخجلان”.

ومستقبله: “سأستمر سنة أخرى في اليابان، وسأقيم الأمر بعد ذلك، أود العودة إلى برشلونة، لأنه منزلي، لكنني ما زلت لا أعرف بأي صفة مدرب أو مدير رياضي أو ما هو المنصب، لكن يجب أن أخوض تجربة التدريب في البداية، ما زلت أرى نفسي كلاعب”.

Sohail Tanvir out for four months

Sohail Tanvir has been ruled out of cricket for four months after undergoing a surgery on his knee in Australia. The knee injury had resulted in him pulling out of a contract with Victoria during the Australian domestic season.”Tanvir has had an operation in Australia today for a chronic knee problem and he has been advised to rest for four months,” his agent, Salman Ahmed, was quoted as saying in Reuters.Tanvir, who burst onto the international scene in the World Twenty20 in 2007, last played for Pakistan in a Twenty20 international against New Zealand in November last year. He had suffered a back injury after the 2009 World Twenty20 in England, was left out of the tour of Sri Lanka and returned to international cricket after five months in November, against New Zealand in Dubai.Tanvir has been out of action in Tests since December 2007 and hasn’t played ODIs since May 2009.

NUFC: Magpies keen on Nunez

An exciting Newcastle United transfer update has emerged, regarding the club’s interest in Benfica’s Darwin Nunez…

What’s the talk?

Sky Sports reporter Pete Graves has claimed that the Magpies are keen on the 22-year-old forward, whilst they are also on the lookout for players with experience.

He Tweeted: “On second striker – #nufc rate Ekitike but nowhere near at the price they’ve been quoted. Some interest in Darwin Nunez as well but Benfica reluctant to sell. There’s a feeling amongst key members of the ownership that Premier League experience will be key in survival battle.”

Excitement

This update from Graves will surely excite Newcastle fans for multiple reasons. Firstly, it shows that they realise they need players who know how to perform in the English top-flight to get them out of the hole they are in.

The Magpies are 19th in the Premier League table and could be facing relegation unless they are able to turn things around quickly and pick up points to drag themselves out of the bottom three. This means that they need to sign players who can come in and hit the ground running.

Whilst it is possible for any new addition to do that, those who are already accustomed to performing in England’s top division will be able to instantly get going with no issues as they won’t need to adapt to the league. Whereas, someone coming in from a foreign division with no prior experience in the country may need time to find their feet and this could cost Newcastle points in the short-term.

 

However, there is a balance to be had and the claim that the club are keen on Darwin Nunez will surely excite the Toon Army irrespective of his lack of history in England. He has scored a whopping 13 goals in 14 league matches for Benfica in the Primeira Liga, showing that he can score on a consistent basis for the Portuguese giants.

The attacker has also scored three goals in two Champions League starts this season. This highlights his knack for finding the back of the net at the top level and suggests that he’d have a good chance of being a success for Newcastle, whilst he also has room to develop at the age of 22 and could be a signing for now and for the future.

Therefore, Newcastle could strike a balance between bringing in players with prior Premier League experience and finding talent from abroad with the potential to explode for Eddie Howe’s team in the coming months and years.

Com contrato com oVélez Sarsfield (ARG) terminando este mês, o volanteLeandro Desábato recebeu uma proposta do Vasco e está negociando sua transferência para o clube. Ao LANCE!, o argentino elogiou o futebol brasileiro e revelou que gostaria de jogar no país.

– Sim (gostaria de jogador no Brasil), é um futebol muito competitivo. São disputados muitos campeonatos, há grandes equipes e jogadores de trajetória que ganharam prestígio em seus clubes – disseDesábato ao LANCE!.

Questionado sobre as conversas com o Cruz-Maltino,Desábato falou do interesse do clube, mas não quis entrar em detalhes. Segundo ele, tudo está sendo tratado porMartin Sendoa, seu empresário.

-Sim, há um interesse do Vasco em mim. Está sendo tratado por meu representante. Por enquanto é apenas interesse, estamos em negociações – contou.

A expectativa é que o jogador chegue ao Rio de Janeiro ainda está semana para selar o acordo com o Cruz-Maltino. A principio, ele assinaria com o Vasco por dois anos.

Com 27 anos, Desábato é visto como bom nome para a disputa da Libertadores por sua experiência na competição e o bom poder de marcação. A chegada seria importante, já que este setor do grupo está carente, com poucas opções para o técnico Zé Ricardo.

Desábato é cria das divisões de base do Vélez Sarsfield. O jogador passou a fazer parte do elenco profissional em 2010. Ao todo, ele atuou em 136 partidas e anotou três gols.

Ricardo Goulart decide voltar ao Brasil e pode reforçar o Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

Ricardo Goulart está decidido a deixar oGuangzhou Evergrande, da China, para jogar no Brasil. O Palmeiras, que tem interesse pelo meia-atacante de 26 anos há algum tempo, será forte candidato a contratá-lo se ele conseguir a liberação imediata.

-Eu tenho o sonho de jogar na Europa e acho difícil ir direto da China para lá. Também tenho o sonho de voltar à Seleção, então acho que o primeiro passo para tudo isso é voltar ao Brasil, mas consciente da realidade.Eles (dirigentes do clube chinês) estão sabendo. Temos que ir com calma, conversar devagar. Tenho novos projetos e desafios para 2018. Temos que ouvi-los e tentar resolver da melhor maneira – disse o jogador, ao “Globo Esporte”.

Além da ótima condição financeira, o Palmeiras é favorito a contratar o jogador por ter Alexandre Mattos como diretor de futebol. Os dois trabalharam juntos no Cruzeiro, foram bicampeões brasileiros, e Goulart admite que isso pesa, embora não descarte outros clubes.

– Tenho uma grande amizade com o Alexandre. É um grande profissional, me deu um super apoio no Cruzeiro. Tivemos uma boa relação lá. Eu até posso chamá-lo de amigo.Pode-se dizer que sim (é um trunfo para o Palmeiras). Ele é um dirigente renomado, trabalha no Palmeiras, acho que as coisas têm que passar por ele. Caso o Palmeiras consiga me contratar, ele pode tomar a frente dessa negociação – disse ele.

Alexandre Mattos procurou Goulart ainda em setembro. Na época, o jogador estava decidido a permanecer na China ou a ir direto para o futebol europeu, e por isso recusou o convite. Mas o diretor do Verdão seguiu monitorando a situação à espera da mudança de ideia.

Além de Goulart, o Palmeiras tem conversas com Gustavo Scarpa, do Fluminense. O clube avalia se haverá espaço para todos no meio de campo, que nem é uma posição considerada carente no elenco, sobretudo após a chegada de Lucas Lima. Guerra, Raphael Veiga e Hyoran são as outras alternativas para a função, além de Moisés, que prefere jogar mais recuado.

Canada pull out as Under-19 World Cup hosts

Canada have pulled out of hosting the 2012 Under-19 World Cup after admitting they wouldn’t be able to supply the required number of venues for the even

Sahil Dutta16-Apr-2010Canada have pulled out of hosting the 2012 Under-19 World Cup after admitting they wouldn’t be able to supply the required number of venues for the event.The move doesn’t come as a huge surprise following the recent reports from Canada over the problems with various grounds and Cricket Canada wanted to make sure the ICC would have enough time to rearrange the tournament.”It’s very disappointing but it was simply a case of coming too soon,” Ravin Moorthy, Cricket Canada’s vice president told Cricinfo. “We wanted to make sure we’d give the ICC enough time to rearrange if we couldn’t get the infrastructure ready, so we committed to April 2010 and we’re not quite there.”Last month the former Cricket Canada CEO, Atul Ahuja, hit out at the preparations in a wide-ranging letter which slammed the administration. “The ICC had installed 10 turf wickets for the ICC Trophy in 2001,” he said. “Currently, none of those are operational.”Moorthy, however, hit back at these claims and was at pains to point out that the pitches were not the issue. “We have 10 turf pitches, that’s no problem for us. What we don’t have is the other infrastructure – the pavilions and so on,” he said. “We calculated we’d need between $2 to $2.5 million, and at this we’ve still got some way to go.”It is a blow to cricket in Canada but Moorthy remains confident that the long-term development of the game is still in good order and is hopeful of securing enough funding to stage future events.”We are in regular contact with government and things are going fairly well. Cricket is very important to the social fabric of the South Asian community in Canada and funders understand that. We should be in a position to host these types of global tournaments soon.”In January the Canada board told Cricinfo it was confident of bringing facilities up to standard in time, but conceded defeat earlier this month when they wrote to ICC.”We are grateful to Cricket Canada for making what we recognise will have been a very difficult decision but their realistic and responsible approach allows ICC the time to find a suitable alternative venue,” said ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat.ICC will discuss possible alternative venues during the boarding meeting in Dubai on April 19 and 20.
