Após a partida na Neo Química Arena, o veterano zagueiro esclareceu que ainda não foi procurado pela diretoria para tratar sobre a possibilidade de uma extensão contratual. O atleta já pode assinar um pré-contrato com qualquer clube.
– Não teve (conversa). Eu vivo o Corinthians dia a dia. O mais importante é que eu me comprometo, o clube sabe da minha dedicação. Vou seguir dando o meu melhor até o último dia do meu contrato, independente do que acontecer, sempre vou dar o melhor pelo Corinthians – disse o zagueiro na zona mista.

O zagueiro tratou as cobranças com naturalidade, desde que não cheguem a sua vida pessoal, e ressaltou seu comprometimento com o Timão
– Diante das críticas e acontecimentos, vocês nunca me viram falar em sair do clube, que estou no departamento médico ou não quero jogar. Sou homem o suficiente para saber o clube que jogou e o que representou, tanto para os torcedores quanto para os meus familiares. Todos sabem do meu empenho. Críticas fazem parte do futebol, e quando se ultrapassa o futebol e mexe com a pessoa, é mais complicado. Sabemos como funciona e eu trabalho da mesma maneira – comentou o zagueiro.
Com o gol diante do Botafogo, Gil superou Olavo e igualou o número de gols de Célio Silva, entrando no top-5 de zagueiros com mais gols marcados pelo Corinthians. Ao todo, ele tem 19 bolas nas redes em 430 jogos.

Tim David was part of the IPL-winning RCB side•BCCI
St Lucia Kings, the defending champions of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), have signed IPL winner Tim David as their first-round pick at the draft for the 2025 season. Kings, however, will be without Faf du Plessis, who had led them to their maiden title last year, prioritising the Hundred over the CPL this season.Du Plessis will instead play for Southern Brave in the Hundred, whose signing was the result of his involvement with Delhi Capitals in the IPL. The Capitals’ co-owners GMR Group are finalising their deal to buy Southern Brave, having taken over at host county Hampshire last year.Moeen Ali, who had announced his international retirement in September last year, has opted to skip the Hundred for the CPL, where he was re-signed as a seventh-round pick by Guyana Amazon Warriors. Imran Tahir, 46, was retained by Amazon Warriors as their first pick.Related

Four-time CPL champions Trinbago Knight Riders recruited the Pakistan pair of Mohammad Amir and Usman Tariq. While this will be offspinner Tariq’s maiden CPL stint – he plays for Quetta Gladiators in the PSL – Amir is a familiar name in the CPL, having turned out for Barbados Royals, Jamaica Tallawahs, Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the past.As for the Falcons, they snapped up Imad Wasim as their first pick and Shakib Al Hasan as their second pick. Shakib holds the record for the best figures in an innings in the CPL – he had claimed 4-1-6-6 for the Barbados franchise back in 2013.Rashid Khan will miss the CPL once again, but other spinners contribute to a fairly significant Afghanistan presence in the league. Mystery spinner AM Ghazanfar, who was picked by Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 auction and is currently in fine form for Derbyshire in the T20 Blast, will join Naveen-ul-Haq at Falcons.Left-arm wristspinner Waqar Salamkheil moved from TKR to St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, while Mujeeb Ur Rahman will return to Barbados Royals.

Wicketkeeper-batter Tim Seifert will stay with Kings while Colin Munro will return to TKR.Imran Tahir, 46, was retained by Guyana Amazon Warriors•CPL T20 via Getty Images
Munro, who was signed as an eighth-round pick, has previously enjoyed success with TKR – he is still their highest run-getter with 2178 runs in 72 innings at a strike rate of 129.56. Munro, 38, has retired from international cricket but continues to be active in franchise leagues around the world. Darren Bravo, the second-highest scorer for TKR behind Munro in the CPL, will also return to the franchise and will reunite with his brother Dwayne Bravo, who is set to take over as head coach.Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell were all retained by TKR as expected.Allrounder Matthew Forde, who recently equalled AB de Villiers’ record for the fastest ODI fifty, was retained by Kings while fast bowler Shamar Joseph was retained by Amazon Warriors.Incentive for emerging playersIn CPL 2025, each franchise must play at least one player from the Breakout League, a new tournament that was held to identify emerging talent from the region, in every game. This also gives the franchise the option of picking five overseas players in their XI to go with their ‘breakout’ player.The last three rounds in the draft – 15, 16 and 17 – were all reserved for emerging players from the Breakout League.Reigning champions Kings brought back St Lucian Ackeem Auguste as one of their breakout players.

Heading into Leeds United’s Premier League clash against West Ham United on Friday night, Daniel Farke was under some pressure in the Elland Road dug-out to pick up a positive result.
There had been reports, in the build-up to this must-win contest against the Hammers, that the top-flight newcomers had RC Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior on their radar as a potential replacement for the German.
Thankfully for Farke, his team hit back by collecting a 2-1 win over Nuno Espirito Santo’s strugglers, with the ex-Norwich City boss able to survive another day in the pressurised Leeds’ hot-seat, subsequently.
Brenden Aaronson really did step up when he was needed to during this tight win, with the American also able to respond to his critics emphatically with a man-of-the-match worthy display against the visitors from East London.
How Aaronson has turned around his Leeds career
Much like Farke has had to fight back against accusations that he isn’t cut out for the bright lights of the Premier League all across his managerial career to date, Aaronson has also had to deal with his fair share of critics deeming him not capable of being a top-flight level talent.
There had been some weight behind these comments, too, with Aaronson being deemed a “lightweight” presence that’s not “good enough” to pull on Leeds white by former Elland Road defender Jon Newsome, off the back of him only firing home one Premier League goal during his side’s disastrous 2022/23 season, which ended in relegation.
He hadn’t started this campaign in the best light, either, leading to the 25-year-old dropping in and out of Farke’s first-team plans. However, he was a force to be reckoned with against West Ham, perhaps saving his up-and-down career in West Yorkshire in the process.
Indeed, away from being the crucial individual who fired Leeds in front after just three minutes, Aaronson also constantly burst forward with purpose across the full match, with one of his three successful dribbles forward nearly resulting in one of the most memorable solo strikes of the season to date.
To his dismay, the resulting shot – after all his hard work had seemingly paid off – shaved the crossbar, with the ex-Red Bull Salzburg attacker also being praised at the full-time whistle for being a presence that “works his socks off” by his relieved manager, when winning a high eight ground duels.
He wasn’t the only presence in Farke’s XI who turned around their ongoing narrative in West Yorkshire, though, against West Ham, as one of Aaronson’s teammates on the night also breathed life back into their own stop-start tale.
The "monstrous" star who also saved his career
A lot of Leeds’ summer recruits have instantly hit the ground running, with Sean Longstaff already becoming an integral part of Farke’s starting lineup, with five big chances created in league action.
Noah Okafor has also seamlessly slotted into his new environment with two league goals already next to his name, but while those named have found adjusting to life in West Yorkshire to be straightforward, Jaka Bijol has struggled, on the other hand.
Before being handed a start against West Ham, Bijol had found himself rooted to the substitutes bench with zero league appearances to shout about, which was a surprise, considering the 6-foot-4 Slovenian didn’t leave Udinese behind for cheap this summer, having cost the Premier League newcomers a substantial £15m.
Thankfully, he made up for lost time with his commanding showing against the relegation-threatened visitors, with six duels won in total, seeing him already live up to his “monstrous” billing that was handed his way by analyst Ben Mattinson in Serie A.

Joe Rodon would steal his thunder by standing out more in the heart of the Leeds backline, considering the Welshman popped up with a header to gift the hosts a 2-0 lead, but Bijol is also deserving of plenty of praise himself, having won all 100% of his tackles come the full-time whistle.
The “aggressive” number 15 – as he was also lauded by ex-Leeds defender Aidy White after the win was secured – further demonstrated a calmness on the ball under pressure with 53 accurate passes amassed, with Farke surely now ready to hand him even more league opportunities moving forward, considering that he’s finally off the mark.
Bijol’s playing days in England so far have been a slow burner, with the ex-Serie A titan now hopeful of even more minutes heading his way, as more wins are also picked by Farke and Co.

أدلى آرني سلوت مدرب فريق ليفربول، بتصريحات أعقبت الهزيمة أمام مانشستر سيتي في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز “البريميرليج”، وعلّق على قرار الحكم بإلغاء هدف لاعبه فيرجيل فان دايك.
وتعرض ليفربول للهزيمة بثلاثة أهداف دون رد، ليتوقف رصيده عند النقطة 18 في المركز الثامن بترتيب الدوري الإنجليزي، ونشرت شبكة “بي بي سي سبورت” تصريحات سلوت عقب اللقاء.
وقال سلوت: “كان الشوط الأول صعبًا للغاية بالنسبة لنا، يكاد المرء يتوقع ذلك عند دخول الملعب، لقد ضغطوا علينا بقوة شديدة، عانينا كثيرًا في الشوط الأول، كنا نأمل أن ننتهي الشوط الأول بنتيجة 1-0”.
وأضاف: “ثم، بالطبع، كان هناك خمس إلى عشر دقائق مؤثرة في المباراة، بدلًا من أن ننتهي بالتعادل 1-1 أو 2-1، وصلنا إلى 2-0 في الشوط الأول، كان من الواضح أنهم كانوا أفضل منا”.
وحول إلغاء هدف فيرجيل فان دايك، علّق: “من الصعب إبداء رأيي، من الواضح أن القرار كان خاطئًا، على الأقل في رأيي، لم يتدخل إطلاقًا فيما يمكن لحارس المرمى فعله، مباشرةً بعد المباراة، أراني أحدهم الهدف الذي احتسبه الحكم نفسه في مباراة مانشستر سيتي ضد وولفرهامبتون الموسم الماضي”.
وواصل: “استغرق الأمر من مساعد الحكم 13 ثانية لرفع رايته ليعلن التسلل، كان هناك تواصل واضح، ولكن كما ذكرتُ، كان من الممكن أن يؤثر ذلك إيجابًا على المباراة، التأخر بهدفين نظيفين في الشوط الأول يجعل من الصعب جدًا تحقيق نتيجة إيجابية هنا”.

وتابع سلوت: بالنسبة لي، القرار الخاطئ صدر على أرض الملعب، ثم صدر أيضًا أثناء مراجعة الإعادة، هذا لا يعني أنه كان سيؤثر على النتيجة، لأن مانشستر سيتي كان أفضل بكثير”.
وعن المباراة، أردف: “الكرات الثابتة قد تُحدث فرقًا، الآن استقبلنا هدفين من كرات ثابتة، كان ذلك انعكاسًا منطقيًا لتأخرنا بهدفين، سارت المباراة كما جرت، وكنا محظوظين لو تأخرنا بهدف في الشوط الأول، لذا كان قرارًا مؤثرًا، ثم جاء هدف دوكو المذهل الذي جعلنا نتأخر 3-0، لكنني مع ذلك رأيت فريقًا يسعى للعودة إلى المباراة”.
وأكمل: “لا يُمكن التنبؤ بسير الشوط الثاني، كان من الواضح أن السيتي كان الفريق الأفضل في الشوط الأول، كانوا يُسيطرون على المباراة، وكانوا أفضل منا، واجهنا الكثير من المشاكل والصعوبات في استخلاص الكرة من الخلف، لذلك فقدناها مُبكرًا، وبدأوا هم اللعب”.
وعن ركلة جزاء مانشستر سيتي، أشار: “الشيء الوحيد الذي رأيته هو التلامس، ولكن بعد التلامس، تمكن من وضع قدمه في المكان الذي أراده تمامًا”.
واستطرد بشأن إصلاح العديد من المشاكل في الفريق: “لا أعرف إن كان هذا هو الوضع، لقد كانت بداية أسبوع جيدة جدًا، ونهاية سيئة للغاية، اليوم، لا أعتقد، باستثناء ذلك القرار، أن أسلوب لعبنا كان سيتغير، بشكل عام، كانوا الفريق الأفضل، نحتاج إلى التحسن، لكنني لم أكن بحاجة لهذه المباراة لأدرك ذلك”.
وأتم: “رأيت فريقًا يحاول العودة إلى أجواء المباراة، لكن ذلك لم يكن كافيًا اليوم، وهذا واضح، في الموسم الماضي، عندما كنا متقدمين بثماني نقاط، لم نشعر أن الأمر قد انتهى بالفعل، لا يجب أن نتحدث عن المركز الأول، بل يجب أن نركز على أدائنا الذي يحتاج إلى تحسين”.
Seamers restrict free-flowing India before top-order knock off target with 113 balls to spare

Ben Mayes cuts through backward point•Getty Images
England U19s ended their Youth ODI series against India on a high with an impressive seven-wicket victory at Visit Worcestershire New Road.The tourists took the series by a 3-2 margin but England deservedly won the final game after an excellent bowling display restricted India’s power-packed batting line-up to 210 for nine. A strong collective effort saw all six bowlers take wickets with Ralphie Albert (two for 24) and Alex French (two for 37) most impressive. Only RS Ambrish (66 not out from 81 balls) passed 40.England then cruised to 211 for three with 113 balls to spare. Ben Mayes (82 not out ,76 balls) and Thomas Rew (49 not out, 37) saw their side home at a canter after Ben Dawkins (66, 53) laid the platform with his third successive score in the sixties.After India chose to bat, England’s rejigged seam attack began superbly with French and Matt Firbank each striking in their first over. Ayush Mhatre’s unproductive series concluded with a careless flick to mid-on off Firbank before French added the big wicket of Vihaan Malhotra. Scorer of a high-class century in the previous game, Malhotra edged a superb delivery to wicketkeeper Rew.Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 322 from 162 balls in the first four games in the series, this time lacked fluency. He hit Firbank for successive sixes but was well-contained apart from that before, on 33 from 42, slicing Sebastian Morgan to deep third.Leicestershire seamer Alex Green maintained the pressure and was rewarded with the wicket of Rahul Kumar, well caught on the long-leg rope by Dawkins. When England turned to spin, Albert soon ousted the dangerous Harvansh Pangalia (24, 37) lbw, sweeping,Albert added the wicket of Kanishk Chouhan, slickly stumped by Rew having been lured down the wicket, and it was left to Ambrish to ensure the innings filled its 50 overs. He did so with a skilful half-century, shepherding the tail.England’s reply took an early hit when Joe Moores bottom-edged a pull at Deepesh Davendra to wicketkeeper Pangalia, but Dawkins and Mayes broke the back of the chase with a stand of 107 in 13 overs. Dawkins batted with increasing authority until, in pursuit of his fourth six, he lifted Naman Pushpak to long-on where Chauhan took an excellent running catch.When Pushpak turned one through the gate of Rocky Flintoff, India had a glimmer of hope, but captain Rew reached the crease with the equation still very favourable to England – 90 needed from 31 overs. Mayes reached his half-century from 48 balls and stayed strong to unfurl an immaculately organised innings while Rew ended the match with a flurry of boundaries against a flagging attack in an unbroken stand of 90 from 73 balls.
Just like buses, you wait a while for a Rangers win in the Scottish Premiership and then two come along at once.
On Wednesday night, Rangers, donning their new bright orange fourth kit, for once did not look off colour, beating Hibernian 1-0 at Easter Road, thanks to Danilo’s left-footed strike inside four and a half minutes.
So, having won only one of their first eight league matches this season, Danny Röhl has now won both since his appointment, also battling to a 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock at Ibrox last Sunday.
Next up for Röhl is an Old Firm derby in the League Cup semi-finals at Hampden on Sunday, facing a Celtic side led by Martin O’Neill, wait, what year is this?
Ahead of that massive Glasgow derby, which Rangers star made himself simply undroppable thanks to his exploits in Leith?
Danilo's Rangers resurgence
Fair to say, in general, since arriving from Feyenoord for £6m over two years ago, Danilo has not lived up to expectations.
His goal in Edinburgh this week was only his 15th in 62 outings for the Light Blues, sitting out a whopping 65 matches due to various injuries.
Now though, having also headed home against Killie on Sunday, the Brazilian has scored in back-to-back Premiership matches for the first time in 11 months.
Speaking during Sky Sports’ coverage, Chris Sutton asserted that Danilo has grabbed his opportunity, while former Rangers striker Kris Boyd would like to see him deployed as the centre-forward on Sunday, given that he has shown more promise than either Youssef Chermiti or Bojan Miovski to date.
Well, Danilo’s father Marcelo Silva, who has been a prominent figure at Rangers matches for a few years now, possibly outshone his son in Leith, very much enjoying his night at Easter Road, dancing away at the very front of the away stand.
Nevertheless, despite Danilo’s sudden scoring spree, he was not the biggest Rangers hero on the night.
Rangers' "best player this season"
Worth highlighting that the only reason Rangers departed the capital with all three points on Wednesday was thanks to the contribution of goalkeeper Jack Butland.
Chalkboard
Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
With five minutes to go, Connor Barron bundled over Junior Hoilett and referee John Beaton pointed to the penalty spot.
Jamie McGrath stepped up, but saw his effort spectacularly saved by Butland, preserving victory for the Gers.
Butland has now, remarkably, now saved six of the last seven penalties he’s faced, excluding shootout, already denying Oh Hyeon-gyu of Genk and Lawrence Shankland of Hearts from 12 yards earlier in the campaign, albeit the latter did convert the rebound.
Nevertheless, this save secured Rangers’ first away clean sheet since a 3-0 victory over Ross County in Dingwall on 8 December 2024, a run of 325 days and 24 matches, the latter an unwanted club record, smashing the previous one of 22 set in 1897 when Queen Victoria was still on the throne.
For Butland specifically, irrespective of whom the manager has been, he has been a consistent performer so far this season.
Towards the back end of the last campaign, during Barry Ferguson’s interim tenure, Butland found himself on the bench, following a string of errors, with Liam Kelly starting both legs of the Europa League quarter-final against Athletic Club.
Now though, the England international appears to be back to his best, as the statistics below highlight.

Of course, despite Rangers leakiness at the back, Butland is nowhere near the busiest goalkeeper in the Premiership, with both Scott Bain of Falkirk and Dundee United’s Yevhen Kucherenko facing more than 50 shots apiece to Butland’s 32.
Nevertheless, for the most part, he has made big saves when called upon.
Back when he was at Stoke, then-manager Paul Lambert labelled him the “best goalkeeper in Britain”, while journalist Scott Bradley notes that Butland “was a shell of his former self last season” but has been “Rangers’ best player this season” so far.
Thus, while new manager Röhl is quickly searching for player he can rely on, Butland has certainly proved himself to be one of those, underlining his undroppable status.
If Rangers are going to beat their fiercest rivals at Hampden on Sunday and book their place in December’s League Cup Final, chances are they’ll need their goalkeeper to be at his brilliant best, possibly even in a penalty shootout.
Better than Danilo: Rangers star may have saved his Ibrox career
This Glasgow Rangers star who was even better than Danilo may have saved his career at the club.

De olho no mercado:
Mesmo renovando com Caíque, o Grêmio ainda busca um novo goleiro para a temporada de 2024. O clube recebeu contatos interessados em Gabriel Grando e os dirigentes já planejam trazer uma opção para a posição.
Com isso, conforme o GZH, o alvo do Grêmio no momento é o goleiro João Paulo, do Santos. Mesmo com o contrato até 2027, o rebaixamento do Peixe pode influenciar para que o jogador seja transferido para o Tricolor Gaúcho.

West Indies seamer Matthew Forde has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against Pakistan that starts in Tarouba from Friday. Forde suffered a shoulder dislocation earlier on Wednesday while attempting a catch during a training session.Johann Layne, the West Indies academy seam-bowling allrounder, has replaced Forde in the squad. Layne is among the seamers that impressed Ian Bishop, who called him “rangy, tall and intelligent”.Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph, Romario Shepherd and Jediah Blades are the quicks in their ODI squad with Gudakesh Motie as their frontline wristspinner. Alzarri Joseph has been rested. West Indies would also miss Forde’s talent with the bat lower down the order; he holds the ODI record for fastest fifty (16 balls), achieved in May against Ireland.Related

Pakistan and West Indies look to break out of their ODI funk
West Indies lost the T20I series against Pakistan 2-1 in Lauderhill, but are looking to claim a fourth-straight ODI series with the tour moving to Trinidad & Tobago. It is only their fifth ODI series since the start of 2023, but come into the contest having beaten England twice (2-1, on both occasions) and Bangladesh once (3-0).The 50-over game has been a difficult format for West Indies in recent history, missing out on the last two ICC tournaments for ODIs. Their qualification for the 2027 ODI World Cup is also far from guaranteed as they are ranked tenth in the rankings. West Indies realistically need to finish within the top nine – one place higher than they are – to secure automatic passage at the cut-off date. A series win against Pakistan, ranked six places above them, would help them significantly.
