Promessa do Vasco, Ricardo espera ter oportunidades no time em 2018

MatériaMais Notícias

Zagueiro canhoto e de boa qualidade técnica, Ricardo é considerado uma das principais promessas das divisões de base do Vasco. Integrado aos profissionais no meio de 2017, o jovem de 20 anos deve ganhar suas primeiras oportunidades na equipe este ano com Zé Ricardo. Apesar de estar procurando outros defensores, o Cruz-Maltino vai apostar no garoto para ser um dos reservas de Anderson Martins e Breno.

Por conta disso, somado ao fato de o Vasco estar aproveitando os garotos da base desde o ano passado, Ricardo vive a expectativa de poder fazer sua estreia nos profissionais. Ele espera estar preparado para aproveitar a oportunidade.

– A expectativa é a melhor possível. Ano passado fiz a transição do juniores, subi no meio do ano. O Zé Ricardo vem dando oportunidade para os garotos da base, acredito que nesse ano não será diferente. Espero estar preparado para dar o meu melhor quando a oportunidade chegar, sempre pensando na equipe – disse Ricardo ao site oficial do clube.

Inclusive, Ricardo tem como referências os zagueiros titulares do Cruz-Maltino. Realizando a sua primeira pré-temporada com o time de cima, o jovem tenta absorver os ensinamentos passados pelos seus companheiros de setor mais experientes.

– O Breno e o Anderson Martins são espelhos para mim, dois grandes zagueiros. Treinar e aprender com eles se torna bem mais fácil. Tê-los do meu lado aumenta minha motivação. Tento sempre fazer o que eles me dizem, sei que são os melhores conselhos. São extraordinários dentro de campo e têm trajetórias que eu admiro e respeito muito – comentou o jovem.

Botafogo faz oferta por Luiz Fernando, do Atlético-GO

MatériaMais Notícias

Em busca de jogadores de velocidade pelos lados do campo, o Botafogo fez proposta pelo meia-atacante Luiz Fernando, do Atlético-GO. O Glorioso, agora, aguarda resposta do empresário do atleta, Reinaldo Pitta, para contar com o atleta de 21 anos na próxima temporada.

Luiz Fernando foi um dos destaques da partida entre o Dragão e o Glorioso no Estádio Nilton Santos, na reta final do último Campeonato Brasileiro. Com um gol e grandes jogadas, ele ajudou a equipe a derrotar o time da casa, numa partida sintomática para a não classificação alvinegra à Copa Libertadores.

Chegou a ser cogitado o envolvimento de Vinícius Tanque e Fernandes no negócio. Mas o empréstimo do centroavante e do meia para o Dragão não têm a ver com o interesse do Glorioso, que também não é de hoje. Já houve oferta, mas não houve acordo.

O Botafogo tentou André Luís, do Santa Cruz, para o lugar de Guilherme, que voltou para o Grêmio, após empréstimo. Um jogador desejado é Rildo, que jogou no Coritiba este ano.

Com características parecidas o Glorioso tem Rodrigo Pimpão, Pachu e Ezequiel, este recém-promovido das categorias da base.

JORGINHO, DO ATLÉTICO-GO, TAMBÉM INTERESSA

Outro jogador do Atlético-GO na mira do Botafogo é o meia Jorginho, de 26 anos. O atleta entrou em pauta no Glorioso e a situação poderá ter novidades nos próximos dias.

Nottinghamshire pacemen demolish Kent

Unlike Essex, conquerors of the Durham attack at Chester-le-Street, Kent’s introduction to Division One cricket has been painful

Unlike Essex, conquerors of the Durham attack at Chester-le-Street, Kent’s introduction to Division One cricket has been painful. If day three goes as badly for them as days one and two they can cancel their Saturday night out in Nottingham.By close of play here, last season’s Division Two champions were into their second innings, having been asked to follow on some 256 runs behind. They had at least managed to secure a batting point, off a misfield the ball before their 10th wicket fell, but it was hardly consolation.The difference has been in the quality of the bowling. With a good covering of grass and little pace, the pitch has not been one to make a batsman feel comfortable. Yet only one of the Kent seamers conceded fewer than 3.58 runs per over. To their captain, the others must have been unacceptably expensive. At no stage were they able to offer him control.By contrast, Nottinghamshire’s attack, spearheaded by a Ryan Sidebottom clearly enthused by his selection for the World Twenty20, rarely had their hand off the tiller. Like Rob Key, Nottinghamshire captain Chris Read would have chosen to bowl first. His bowlers, hostile and generally accurate, demonstrated why.Nottinghamshire began the day in a commanding position, four runs away from a batting maximum. Nonetheless, they were eight wickets down after Andre Adams’s give-away wicket to the last ball of the opening day and Kent would have expected not to be too much longer in the field. Yet Nottinghamshire continued pretty much without restraint, almost for another 17 overs, adding another 60 runs.Paul Franks did much of the extra damage. The 31-year-old, who might have made a career as an England all-rounder had he not been bedevilled by injuries, has found a little bit of the old form lately. He scored a century against Durham UCCE last week, his first in a first-class match for five years. Here, hitting the ball cleanly and with power through the off side, he advanced to 73 before playing around a ball from Matt Coles. The score was his best in the Championship since May 2007.The wicket was a second in five overs for 19-year-old Coles, who saved his best spell until last, having dismissed Luke Fletcher via a catch at second slip with his third delivery. It is the senior bowlers from whom Key will want more. Had Stuart Clark been able to come their prospects would look a lot stronger but with Amjad Khan and Azhar Mahmood they should at least be competitive.Nottinghamshire, on the other hand, could assemble several different sets of bowlers were their full complement fit and available. Here they have no Darren Pattinson (injured) nor Charlie Shreck (rehabilitating after surgery), while it goes almost without saying that neither Stuart Broad nor Graeme Swann is available.Yet with Sidebottom fiercely motivated, the powerful Fletcher eager to build on the promise of last season, Adams developing his skills with the ball and Franks a usefully canny back-up, they still fielded a seam quartet to which most counties would doff their caps.Sidebottom made the first incisions as Kent began their reply, bowling Joe Denly and trapping Key leg before with a couple of tasty inswingers. From 13 for 2, Kent staggered to 58 for 5 as Adams claimed the next three wickets.He had some help. Geraint Jones, who had looked capable of organising a recovery, made a complete misjudgment of what would be the last ball of the morning – bowled offering no stroke. Then Martin van Jaarsveld tickled one down the leg side, although it took a super diving catch from Chris Read to make him pay for it. It was a better ball that accounted for Darren Stevens, on the back foot, giving Neil Edwards the first of five catches at second slip, handing the debutant the distinction of being the first Nottinghamshire outfielder to claim five victims since Derek Randall in 1987.The one that removed the dangerous Sam Northeast, over his right shoulder off Fletcher, was the best of the lot. The others were routine, enabling Adams to make James Tredwell his fourth victim, Sidebottom to add Coles and Franks to claim his second after first slip Ali Brown had pouched Mahmood, without whose lusty nine-four 52 Kent would have been in even worse shape.When Kent began their follow-on, with Tredwell a nightwatchman from the start, neither Sidebottom nor Fletcher was as tight as before. But then two wickets in as many overs – Fletcher bowling Key and Tredwell falling to Adams – left Kent staring at a three-day defeat, still 205 behind.

Valentim se reúne com Mattos e promete resolver futuro em breve

MatériaMais Notícias

Alberto Valentim reuniu-se na tarde desta segunda-feira com Alexandre Mattos, diretor de futebol do Palmeiras, mas ainda não respondeu se aceita a proposta para seguir no clube como auxiliar ou se sairá para treinar outra equipe. O nome dele é bem cotado no Sport e no Atlético-PR.

Técnico interino da equipe nos últimos 11 jogos do Brasileirão, o auxiliar gostou do que ouviu na reunião e prometeu definir seu futuro em poucos dias.

Ele não esconde o desejo de iniciar definitivamente a carreira de treinador, mas diz que está cogitando a possibilidade de permanecer como auxiliar por gostar muito do Palmeiras e por entender que as ideias de Roger Machado se assemelham muito às suas.

Valentim foi auxiliar do Palmeiras entre 2014 e 2016, saiu no primeiro semestre de 2017 para comandar o Red Bull no Paulistão e depois retornou para o Verdão a pedido de Cuca.

Nos 11 jogos sob seu comando, a equipe somou seis vitórias, quatro derrotas e um empate. O time estava na quinta colocação quando ele assumiu e terminou como vice-campeão nacional.

Players want access to security details – SACA

Players from South Africa have written to their IPL franchises asking for access to security reports for the 2010 tournament, according to Tony Irish

Nagraj Gollapudi02-Feb-2010Players from South Africa involved in the IPL have written to their franchises asking for access to security reports for the 2010 tournament and have requested that they be made available to “their chosen representatives”, according to Tony Irish, the chief executive of the South African Cricketers’ Association. He added that England, New Zealand and Australian players were also taking the same step.Players’ associations from Australia and New Zealand had also approached the IPL, asking the league for details about its security plans, but were rebuffed, with Lalit Modi saying the IPL did not recognise such bodies and would only deal directly with the various national boards.”If there is a threat being made against Australian players and South Africans are playing alongside them, then it could be a threat to them too. That could be a problem,” Irish told Cricinfo. “We don’t know whether that is a problem or not unless we see the security plans.”We have a very strict process that we follow on security where we do a threat assessment beforehand and then we are given access to the security plans. We make sure that security plans are adequate to cover any threats that exists. That is all done by CSA and SACA along with the security consultants. I don’t want to go into the specifics of the threat but there is a threat-level report which says we do need to review the security plans carefully for the event. All we want to do is have access to the report so we can give the players the peace of mind that everything is in place. That is reasonable.”Irish said that if the IPL refused to reveal its security plans then the players would need to take individual decisions about their participation. “There are a lot of players who will have great reservations,” he said. “I cannot commit if players will not come because it will come down to an individual’s choice.”We all want a safe and successful IPL. But it just seems strange because the IPL doesn’t want to deal with the players’ associations and that prevents us from working together to try and ensure the same objective.”

Pai de Neymar quer finalizar acerto entre Verdão e Lucas Lima até sexta

MatériaMais Notícias

Neymar da Silva Santos, um dos empresários de Lucas Lima, espera terminar até sexta-feira a negociação com o Palmeiras. Já com um acordo verbal, o agente quer assinar ainda nesta semana um pré-contrato entre clube e jogador, para que em janeiro, quando o vínculo com o Santos acaba, ele possa assinar o contrato, que deve valer por cinco temporadas.

-Está bem adiantado. Confirmado ainda não, porque tem os trâmites legais e jurídicos a serem colocados. Estão discutindo a forma de permanência, tempo de contrato. Até o fim da semana espero ter um acordo, pelo menos formalizado para assinar o contrato em janeiro – explicou o pai de Neymar, em entrevista ao Fox Sports.

Lucas Lima vai se reunir nesta quarta-feira com o presidente do Santos, Modesto Roma Júnior, para informar que aceitou a proposta do Palmeiras. O dirigente já recebeu também o contato de Maurício Galiotte, presidente do Verdão, que comunicou estar em negociações adiantadas com o armador.

Lucas tem contrato até 31 de dezembro com o Santos e pode desde julho fechar um pré-contrato com outra equipe. Ele só conseguirá assinar um vínculo definitivo ainda em 2017 se antecipar o fim de seu compromisso com o Peixe, mas isto não acontecerá. Por isso a saída será assinar um pré-acordo com o Verdão agora e esperar a virada do ano.

Os trâmites atuais são apenas formalidades, já que na segunda uma comitiva do atleta esteve na Academia de Futebol, onde chegou a um acordo com o Palmeiras. Foram ao local, além do pai de Neymar, o agente André Cury, o advogado da NN Consultoria, Gustavo Xisto, e Roberto Lima, pai do atleta. Todos foram na sequência para o Allianz Parque, onde assistiram à vitória do Verdão sobre o Botafogo.

Para Neymar da Silva Santos, houve um desgaste do camisa 10 na Vila Belmiro – ele terminará a temporada afastado da equipe. A intenção do empresário é fazer o jogador brilhar novamente em um grande time brasileiro, e assim manter viva a chance de o meia disputar a Copa do Mundo de 2018.

-Houve um desgaste, graças a Deus o Lucas conseguiu cumprir o contrato com o Santos Futebol Clube na totalidade, espero que ele saia pela porta da frente. Espero que o Santos reconheça o que o Lucas fez até este momento. Sei que é difícil para um torcedor aceitar, pela paixão, de ir para uma equipe adversária, mas o Lucas tem que pensar na carreira dele, no futuro dele – encerrou.

England team 'greater than the sum of its parts'

For Andrew Strauss the final Test against South Africa is the type of contest that “gets the juices flowing” with the prospect of a significant series victory if England either win or draw at the Wanderers.

For Andrew Strauss the final Test against South Africa is the type of contest that “gets the juices flowing” with the prospect of a significant series victory if England either win or draw at the Wanderers. Before the tour began he said that winning in South Africa would be a bigger challenge than the Ashes victory last year and England are one strong performance away from securing that achievement.”If we did that it would be a very good tour and we would all be satisfied with our performance, but ultimately if we don’t achieve that and it’s 1-1 we will feel we let the opportunity slip,” Strauss said. “At the end of the tour, a lot will be judged on whether we win this game or not. There’s a lot riding on this game, it’s the sort of game that gets the juices flowing and gets us all excited. It is quite easy to reconnect back to that Oval Test against Australia in similar circumstances and hopefully we can take confidence from how performed there.”Strauss’s team hold a series lead despite having fewer world-class stars. With Kevin Pietersen out of form they don’t have a batsman to match Jacques Kallis, while the bowling attack doesn’t possess the menace of Dale Steyn. Until now, however, England have made up for that by bonding as a team and forging a spirit that has been noticeable throughout.”I think we have made some strides forward in that regard,” Strauss said. “But I think it is arrogant to assume that it’s always going to be the case. It is something you have to work hard on and nurture and feel how important it is. It’s great having a side full of 11 world-class players but you can also have a side that is greater than the sum of its parts if you get the environment right.”It is hard to influence it other than having the right sort of people around and trying to foster it as much as you can. Trying to include players in as many things as possible rather than being top heavy with senior players, which I think we have been guilty of in the past.”It’s easy to forget that it is only a year ago that Strauss took the helm after the fractious split between Pietersen and Peter Moores, when there were clearly cliques being formed within the squad, although this has often been denied. Now, the team occupies a united space where all the individual traits of the players are incorporated within the dressing room.The absence of one larger-than-life allrounder has not gone unnoticed during the trip and Geoff Miller, the national selector, said last week that there won’t be any guarantees on Andrew Flintoff’s future place in the side should he recover fully from knee surgery. Strauss, for one, feels the team is better off now that it isn’t so controlled by a core group of players.”I just felt that three or four years ago there were three or four senior players who did a lot of talking in meetings and it made it harder for new guys,” Strauss said. “It wasn’t a conscious thing but it just happened that way. We’ve tried to be more inclusive of new players, not demand more of them but encourage them to say their piece, air their views and feel like they are an important cog in the machine. I personally feel that creates a better environment.”Whatever the formula that Strauss and Andy Flower have hit upon, it has left England on the brink of inflicting South Africa’s second consecutive home series defeat. The hosts have said they will come out and play a positive brand of cricket and Strauss is also adamant that his team will hunt a victory even though a draw will suffice.”We will be trying to win here and play in the same style that has been successful before,” he said. “The only time it might affect you [being 1-0 up] is at the back end of the fifth day. If you go in with mindset of only needing to draw it is very dangerous, you get negative, hesitant, and you can hand momentum to opposition.”

Arsenal keen on Bruno Guimaraes

Arsenal remain interested in Bruno Guimaraes but they may have to wait until the summer to sign him…

What’s the word?

Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano delivered a series of updates over the Gunners’ interest in the Lyon midfielder over the weekend. He first claimed that the north Londoners had been “following him since long time” before later adding:

“Arsenal are working to sign a new midfielder. Bruno Guimarães appreciated but currently not discussed as January target – deal too complicated, €45m fee.”

Goal linked Arsenal with a move for the Brazil international back in July, also suggesting that they tried to sign him in January 2020, so clearly, he’s a long-term target for Mikel Arteta and co.

Sign him up

A number of circumstances this month have seen Arsenal’s priorities change in the transfer market.

Both Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny are unavailable for selection due to their involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations, whilst the club have sanctioned the exit of Ainsley Maitland-Niles to AS Roma.

It makes Arteta very light on midfield options, leaving him with only livewire Granit Xhaka and Albert Sambi Lokonga for the two deeper roles in the engine room.

Therefore, it would be wise to consider Guimaraes now, rather than waiting for the end of the season.

The £27m-rated midfielder has excelled for Lyon in recent seasons, and last term he rated out as one of their most consistent performers – as per WhoScored, he averaged 2.3 tackles per game and an impressive 90.5% passing accuracy, earning a seasonal rating of 6.81.

His form has gone up a notch this season as he rates out as the French outfit’s second-best performer, averaging a WhoScored rating of 7.04.

The 24-year-old enforcer, who stands at 6-foot, has a similar playing style to that of Wolves’ Ruben Neves and former Gunners target Manuel Locatelli.

Meanwhile, football talent scout Jacek Kulig believes the Brazilian is an “elite talent” with “world-class potential”, so it’s no wonder Arsenal have been keen on him for quite some time.

On the above evidence, he would be a fine addition to the squad and one that Arteta badly needs this month. Edu Gaspar must make a U-turn and consider making his move, sooner rather than later.

AND in other news, Arteta could finally axe Arsenal’s £110k-p/w flop by signing £16.2m-rated “big talent”…

Gabriel e Jadson se juntam a Cássio e desfalcam o Corinthians no Paraná

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians perdeu dois jogadores para o duelo da próxima quarta-feira contra o Atlético-PR na Arena da Baixada. O volante Gabriel e o meia Jadson receberam o terceiro cartão amarelo no clássico deste domingo contra o Palmeiras e cumprirão suspensão. Eles se juntam ao goleiro Cássio como desfalque para a partida no Paraná.

Cássio também recebeu o terceiro amarelo no Dérbi, mas já seria ausência por estar servindo a Seleção Brasileira, que disputará amistosos contra Japão, na próxima sexta-feira, em Lille na França, e Inglaterra, no dia 14, em Londres. O arqueiro perderá os próximos três duelos do Brasileiro, sendo desfalque também contra Avaí e Fluminense, ambos marcados para a Arena.

Na entrevista coletiva após a vitória sobre o Palmeiras, o técnico Fábio Carille não quis confirmar os substitutos do trio, mas Walter deve retornar ao gol no lugar de Cássio. No meio, Maycon é favorito para ocupar o lugar de Gabriel. O primeiro foi sacado do time no Dérbi, dando lugar a Camacho. O mesmo aconteceu com Jadson, que perdeu vaga para Clayson. O atacante deve ser mantido para o duelo na Arena da Baixada.
