Em crise, São Paulo jogará em 2022 para evitar o décimo ano consecutivo sem conquistar títulos de peso

MatériaMais Notícias

Embora tenha conquistado o Campeonato Paulista na última temporada, na qual encerrou um jejum de 16 anos sem troféus do torneio estadual, o São Paulo vai iniciar 2022 com a esperança de evitar que complete o seu décimo ano consecutivo sem conseguir ganhar um título de maior expressão, seja ele de nível nacional ou internacional. A última vez em que o Tricolor ergueu uma taça desta importância foi em 2012, quando faturou a Copa Sul-Americana.

A conquista deste título continental completou nove anos no último domingo. Em 12 de dezembro de 2012, a equipe são-paulina venceu o Tigre por 2 a 0, no Morumbi, em um jogo que foi encerrado pelo árbitro chileno Enrique Osses antes do início do segundo tempo. Naquela ocasião, o time argentino se recusou a voltar para o campo para a etapa final após se envolver em uma confusão com os policiais nos vestiários do estádio na hora do intervalo.

Na partida de ida da decisão, realizado noestádio La Bombonera, em Buenos Aires, os finalistas empataram por 0 a 0. E com aquela conquista obtida no conturbado jogo de volta, o Tricolor ganhou o direito também de lutar pelo título da Recopa Sul-Americana em 2013, mas acabou sendo derrotado nesta disputa pelo Corinthians, então o atual campeão da Copa Libertadores.

E este jejum de troféus de maior expressão será desafiado pelo São Paulo depois de o clube ter amargado em 2021 a sua pior campanha no Campeonato Brasileiro na era dos pontos corridos, iniciada em 2003. Foram apenas 48 pontos somados em 38 rodadas na competição, na qual terminou em 13º lugar e teve um aproveitamento ainda mais baixo do que o obtido nas edições de 2013 e 2017 do torneio, nas quais contabilizou 50 pontos em 38 partidas.

LONGO JEJUM NO BRASILEIRÃO E BUSCA AINDA PELA 1ª COPA DO BRASIL

Com a 13ª posição no Brasileirão, o time comandado pelo técnico Rogério Ceni ficou fora da próxima Copa Libertadores e participará da Sul-Americana. E se tentará voltar a conquistar o torneio continental depois de dez anos, o clube vai lutar também para quebrar outros dois jejuns grandes nas duas competições nacionais que disputará em 2022: o Campeonato Brasileiro e a Copa do Brasil.

No principal torneio do País, o time não consegue ser campeão desde 2008, quando faturou o hexacampeonato brasileiro após as suas conquistas de 1977, 1986, 1991, 2006 e 2007. Já a Copa do Brasil, que viverá a sua 33ª edição no próximo ano, o Tricolor nunca faturou a taça e só esteve na decisão uma vez, em 2000, quando acabou sendo derrotado pelo Cruzeiro na luta pelo título.

Em grave crise financeira e com uma dívida que hoje se aproxima dos R$ 700 milhões, o São Paulo já confirmou que não terá condições de fazer grandes contratações para reforçar o seu elenco para 2022. Com este cenário desfavorável, a projeção para o próximo ano está bem distante de alimentar esperanças de conquista de títulos nos torcedores são-paulinos, mas o clube sabe que precisa tentar honrar as suas tradições e acreditar em grandes feitos.

A conquista do próprio Paulistão na última temporada, na qual surpreendeu o favorito Palmeiras na final para levar a taça, serve como exemplo ao Tricolor para crer na chance de ganhar troféus de peso no próximo ano. Conhecido como o “Clube da Fé”, o São Paulo voltará a colocar o apelido à prova em 2022.

تقارير جنوب إفريقية: بسبب بيرسي تاو.. الأهلي يُحرم من صفقة ذهبية

كان النادي الأهلي يبحث في آخر أيام الميركاتو الشتوي قبل غلقه عن جناح أيمن للتعاقد معه لتدعيم صفوف الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بعد رحيل بيرسي تاو.

وضع الأهلي العديد من الأسماء للمفاضلة بينها، ولكن في النهاية قرر قيد علي معلول كآخر اللاعبين الأجانب في قائمته المحلية والإفريقية.

من بين الأسماء كان ريليبوهيلي موفوكينج، لاعب أورلاندو بايرتس، الذي يتألق في بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا هذا الموسم وساهم في صدارة القراصنة لجدول المجموعة الثالثة التي يتواجد بها الأهلي.

لكن اللاعب الشاب رفض عرضًا من الأهلي في فترة الانتقالات الشتوية الماضية، وبحسب شبكة “Soccer Laduma”، كان قرار الرفض بسبب ما حدث في آخر فترة مع مواطنه بيرسي تاو.

كما ذكرت الشبكة الشهيرة، الأهلي تواصل مع موفوكينج ونادي أورلاندو بايرتس، لكن العرض تم رفضه بسرعة، ما فاجأ المسؤولين في القلعة الحمراء.

وتؤكد الشبكة أن موفوكينج يركز على الانتقال إلى نادٍ أوروبي، نظرًا لأدائه الرائع في الدوري المحلي ودوري أبطال أفريقيا.

وتأثر قرار موفوكينج بتجربة بيرسي تاو في الأهلي، حيث وجد الأخير صعوبة في المشاركة المستمرة بالفترة الأخيرة، مما جعله يرحل إلى نادي قطر.

رحيل تاو جاء بعد تصريحات مستمرة من قبل مدرب جنوب إفريقيا هوجو بروس، الذي ظل يقول إن استمرار اللاعب مع الأهلي أمر غير جيد له، بل وإنه سعد برحيله بعد انتقاله الرسمي إلى الدوري القطري.

من جهة أخرى، أفادت الشبكة الشهيرة أن نادي الزمالك هو الآخر قد قدم عرضًا لضم موفوكينج، ولكن تم رفضه أيضًا بسبب رغبة اللاعب في البقاء مع أورلاندو بايرتس في الوقت الحالي.

Abel Ferreira, que tem em mãos uma oferta de renovação de vínculo com duração até dezembro de 2023, não sinalizou se vai oficializar a extensão de contrato.

George Bailey named chairman of selectors of Australia men's team

Trevor Hohns steps down having served collectively on the selection panel for 21 years

Andrew McGlashan01-Aug-2021George Bailey has been named the new chairman of selectors of the Australia men’s team following the retirement of Trevor Hohns.Bailey, who played 125 times for Australia, joined the panel in 2019 and takes on the top job ahead of selecting squads for the T20 World Cup and the Ashes later this year.Hohns steps down having served collectively on the selection panel for 21 years – 16 as chairman – across two periods from 1991 to 2005 and 2016 to 2021.”Firstly, I would like to thank Trevor for his incredible work which has helped shape the success of Australian cricket over a long period, including during my days as a player and captain,” Bailey said.”In what can be a challenging job Trevor has always been calm, consistent and approachable. Similarly to his journey, he has made my transition from player to selector as smooth as possible. There is a lot I will take from Trevor’s style and very much look forward to the journey ahead.”George Bailey joined the selection panel in 2019•Getty Images

Hohns’ first period as chairman from 1995-2005 involved a period of huge success for the national team which included the 1999 and 2003 World Cup victories plus the record run of 16 Test wins.He stepped down from his first stint after the 2005 Ashes defeat but returned in 2016. The second spell included the dramatic fallout from the Newlands ball-tampering scandal which required the management of the post-ban returns of Steven Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft that happened during the 2019 Ashes were Australia retained the urn in England for the first time in 18 years.”The game has been great to me and I have loved every minute of it, from the good times to the bad,” Hohns said. “I have been extremely fortunate to be involved with some of the greatest Australian teams of all time and many of the best players to have played the game.”The successes of the side over the years have been great but I remember my time just as much for the wonderful people you work with and those you meet along the way. It has been an amazing journey for me, but all things come to an end. I am happy with my decision.”Trevor Hohns’ first period as chairman from 1995-2005 involved a period of huge success•Getty Images

Ben Oliver, Cricket Australia’s head of national teams, paid tribute to Hohns’ service to the game and the qualities of his successor.”The impact Trevor has had on Australian cricket has been unparalleled over a long period of time,” he said. “For someone to have played such an integral part in so many incredible eras is a feat few, if any, ever achieve.”The role of national selector is one of the most scrutinised in Australian sport and Trevor has performed it with great strength, judgement and humility. We will miss his experience but respect his decision to take a step back from the game and are grateful for his stewardship.””George is a highly respected leader who is now well established on the NSP alongside Justin as the head coach,” he added. “He has brought recent playing experience with a deep understanding of the game, an open and collaborative style and a desire to keep improving the selection function.”Oliver also confirmed a third member of the selection panel would be appointed in the coming months.

Solskjaer almost sold Man Utd star who’s now Ten Hag’s "standout player"

It would be fair to say that the last 18 months or so have been rather testing for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United.

Even with two trophies under his belt, the questions around his suitability remain as prevalent as ever following his side’s underwhelming start to the Premier League season, which has seen them pick up just seven points from a possible 15.

Moreover, while Marcus Rashford is showing signs of improvement this year, club captain Bruno Fernandes has been well off the pace.

Erik ten Hag

However, while the Dutchman has received plenty of criticism for his mistakes in the dugout, he has improved some players, including one who was in line to be sold under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure.

Diogo Dalot's early United career

Yes, the player in question is Portuguese international Diogo Dalot, who first joined United from FC Porto in June 2018 for around £19m.

His first season in England wasn’t quite what he had hoped for, though. Two injuries saw him miss 16 games, and when he was fit, he only got minor cameos here and there for the first team, amounting to a total of 1527 minutes across 23 appearances.

Unfortunately for the promising full-back, his second season in Manchester was even worse. A hip injury, a knock, and a groin injury saw him sidelined for 132 days and miss 35 games, leading fans and pundits alike to speculate about whether he had a future at the club at all.

In fact, according to an article from The Athletic published at the start of his third season, the Braga-born ace was no longer in Solskjaer’s plans, and the club was open to offers for his services.

This would explain why they were happy to send him out on loan to Serie A giants AC Milan for the 20/21 campaign, where he made 33 appearances, scored two goals, provided three assists, and remained relatively fit.

diogo-dalot-manchester-united-newcastle

His time in Italy was something of a turning point. The following season saw him make 30 appearances for the Red Devils, and then, with Ten Hag at the helm, he became a permanent fixture in the first team the following season, making 42 appearances and finally showing the league just how talented he really is.

Dalot's superb season

With his place now firmly established in the team, Dalot took yet another step forward under Ten Hag last season and emerged from what was a disappointing campaign for the club overall as perhaps one of the few players whose stock had risen.

In all, the Red Devils’ “standout player,” as journalist Liam Canning dubbed him, made 50 appearances, totalling a whopping 4364 minutes of football, in which he scored three goals and provided five assists, three of which came in the club’s successful run to FA Cup glory.

In recognition of his incredible displays in what was a challenging year, the 25-year-old won the United Players’ Player of the Season Award for the first time.

Lastly, in addition to performing on the pitch, the 24-cap international has also proved to be a wise investment off it, as his valuation has skyrocketed to about €47m, per Football Transfers, which converts to around £39m, or a 105% increase on the fee United paid for him.

Ultimately, Dalot is a brilliant case study of why clubs should stick by talented players who are either going through a run of poor form or injury problems, as they might come through the other side as one of the most critical players in the team.

Corinthians tem conversas adiantadas para contratar lateral do Fortaleza

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians está próximo de anunciar o seu segundo reforço para a temporada de 2022, trata-se do lateral-esquerdo Bruno Melo, que defendeu o Fortaleza nas últimas sete temporadas.

continua após a publicidadeRelacionadasCorinthiansSem receber propostas, Corinthians encaminha novo empréstimo de Éderson ao FortalezaCorinthians09/01/2022CorinthiansAdson supera marcas de Pedrinho e Malcom em sua primeira temporada pelo CorinthiansCorinthians08/01/2022

O negócio não tem a ver com o novo empréstimo do volante Ederson ao Leão do Pici, mas a liberação ajudou na boa relação entre as diretorias para encaminhar a ida de Melo ao Timão.

A informação do interesse corintiano no defensor foi publicada inicialmente pelo “Blog do Kempes” e confirmada pelo LANCE!.

O clube do Parque São Jorge deseja contar o Bruno Melo emprestado até o fim do ano, e o atleta chegaria para ser a terceira opção para a lateral-esquerda, atrás de Fábio Santos e Lucas Piton. Mas, ainda que já tenha dois jogadores da função em seu plantel principal, o interesse no defensor se deu pelo fato dele jogar em mais de uma posição, podendo também ser zagueiro e volante.

Natural deParacuru, cidade do interior cearense, que fica há cerca de 90km da capital, Fortaleza, o lateral-esquerdo de 29 anos está no Leão do Pici desde 2015, tendo conquistado cinco estaduais, uma Copa do Nordeste e um Brasileiro da Série B, no período.

O jogador fez parte de todo o processo de ressurgimento da equipe nordestina, da terceira para a primeira divisão em três anos e classificada à Copa Libertadores em cinco. Em 2021, Bruno Melo fez 39 jogos, marcou três gols e deu uma assistência.

Pakistan to tour Bangladesh in November for three T20Is and two Tests

The series is set to begin five days after the T20 World Cup final, leaving little breathing room in case either side makes the knockouts

Pakistan’s men’s team will travel to Bangladesh in November for their first bilateral series in the country since 2015. The tour will consist of three T20Is and two Tests, which are part of the 2021-23 World Test Championship cycle.The tour is scheduled right after the T20 World Cup, which begs the question of what happens if either Bangladesh or Pakistan or both make the knockout stages of that tournament. If they do, there will be little time between events for even the customary three-day hotel quarantine for visiting teams.The T20 World Cup is scheduled to conclude on November 14. The three T20Is, which will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, will be played on November 19, 20 and 22. The same venue will also host the second Test from December 4 to 8.The first Test is scheduled to be held at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram from November 26 to 30. This will only be the third international fixture hosted by Chattogram this year, after the ODI and Test against West Indies in January-February.The Covid-19 pandemic has forced the BCB to host the recent matches against Sri Lanka, Australia and New Zealand sides only in Dhaka, with visiting teams showing reluctance to travel outside the capital.The last meeting between Pakistan and Bangladesh took place in January 2020 when Bangladesh toured Pakistan to play three T20Is (one of which was abandoned due to rain) and a Test in Rawalpindi. The second Test of the series, which was supposed to be held in Karachi in April, was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.During Pakistan’s last bilateral visit to Bangladesh, the hosts won the ODI series 3-0 and also the solitary T20I, while the visitors won the Test series 1-0.

Signed for £30m: Everton must regret buying flop who’s now worth just £7m

Away from the pitch, things are starting to happen at Everton. The construction of the new stadium is edging closer to completion and The Friedkin Group’s majority takeover from Farhad Moshiri is also seeing progress.

On the pitch, there’s also been progress, to be fair, with Sean Dyche claiming five points from three in the Premier League after the Goodison outfit lost each of their opening four fixtures.

Jarrad Branthwaite’s imminent return will shore up the shaky defence, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin needs to do more (aside from staying fit) to provide the Toffees with the central focal point that can guide them away from relegation danger.

After all, Beto’s not proven himself to be the perfect foil at number nine.

Why Everton signed Beto

Everton signed Beto from Italian outfit Udinese in August 2023 for a fee rising to £30m, with Dyche unconvinced by Calvert-Lewin’s fitness record and looking for a reliable centre-forward to spearhead his system.

The 27-year-old is now fit as a fiddle and starting every week, leaving Beto to feed off scraps in the Carabao Cup and as a substitute, scoring against Doncaster Rovers in the second round of the cup competition but failing to impress against Southampton in the following round, hooked after an hour and branded with a 5/10 match rating by the Liverpool Echo, watching on as his team lost on penalties.

It has not been the start that he – or Dyche, for that matter – would have wanted after hitting such middling ground last term, scoring three Premier League goals across 33 matches, only starting nine times.

It’s not exactly surprising that his market value has suffered a depreciation.

Beto's transfer value has fallen dramatically

Beto cost a pretty penny but he’s hardly living up to the price tag. Given that the 26-year-old also earns £50k per week, Everton’s failed attempt to strengthen their frontline is only accentuated.

He does have his qualities, ranking among the top 4% of centre-forwards across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for tackles and the top 11% for aerial battles won per 90, as per FBref. Such metrics underscore his combative profile and the reason that Dyche signed him in the first place, effectively slotting into a Calvert-Lewin-shaped hole up front.

But he’s profligate and ineffective as the star goalscorer, and so it’s no surprise that Football Transfers have recorded his current market value at just £7m, which marks a £23m plummet and a failed effort at succeeding in the Premier League.

Beto for Everton.

Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth even reported that Beto could be on the move this summer, with Bologna interested in bringing him back to Serie A, but nothing occurred and the Portuguese continues to sit on the periphery at Goodison Park.

There’s no question that Beto’s a good striker, for he impressed in Italy and carries the athletic and link-up qualities that make a striker succeed in the Premier League.

But he’s also failed to harness his prolific edge across his 14 months in English football. Should Calvert-Lewin fall to a long-term injury again, is Beto reliable enough to serve as Everton’s focal frontman?

His diminished market value reflects his struggles on Merseyside, and something will need to change quickly if Everton want to either get their money’s worth or indeed ship him on for anything more than a paltry pay packet.

رافينيا: برشلونة تعلم الدرس أمام بنفيكا.. ولا أنظر للأرقام الفردية

أعرب الدولي البرازيلي رافينيا، لاعب فريق برشلونة الإسباني، عن سعادته بالفوز الذي حققه على حساب بنفيكا، في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

المباراة جمعت بين الفريقين على ملعب دالوش، وحسمها برشلونة بهدف نظيف رغم اللعب بـ10 لاعبين منذ الدقيقة 22، بعد طرد باو كوبارسي، بذهاب دور الـ16 من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وفي تصريحات عقب المباراة لوسائل الإعلام المختلفة: “نحن سعداء للغاية، الفوز بهذه المباراة بعد ما حدث في مرحلة الدوري واستقبال 4 أهداف كان استثنائيًا”.

وأضاف: “لا يوجد فريق يريد الفوز بجميع الألقاب، وتستقبل شباكه 4 أهداف في مباراة واحدة، لذلك هذا الفوز كان هامًا للغاية، خاصة وأننا كنا نلعب بـ10 لاعبين”.

وأكمل: “تعلمنا الدرس بعد ما حدث في مباراة الدور الأول، كان علينا أن نعرف كيف نصمد حتى نهاية الوقت رغم النقص العددي، وعندما أتيحت لنا الفرصة، تمكننا من التسجيل”.

وأردف: “تشيزني قدم مباراة عظيمة، يا لها من مباراة حقًا، لقد فعل كل شيء، وسعادتي به مضاعفة لأنه في فريقي بالفانتازي، وأعتقد أنه سيجلب لي الكثير من النقاط”.

وشدد: “برشلونة قادر على الفوز بجميع الألقاب، نضم لاعبين شباب وأصحاب خبرات، والجميع يريد أن يصنع التاريخ مع برشلونة، كذلك لدينا رغبة كبيرة وشخصية تجعلنا نطمح في المزيد”.

وعن معادلة رقم كاكا بـ13 مساهمة تهديفية في نسخة واحدة من الأبطال، قال البرازيلي: “من الجيد أنني أحقق الأرقام، ولكن الأهم أن يفوز الفريق، أنا سعيد بمساعدة فريقي أكثر من تركيزي على الأرقام الشخصية”.
