Botafogo divulga nota de repúdio por invasão à reunião do Conselho

MatériaMais Notícias

Antes do Botafogo derrotar a Chapecoense na noite de quinta-feira, a semana do alvinegro foi marcada por centenas de postagens de seus torcedores que divulgavam a campanha “#OcupaGeneral’, que tinha o objetivo de ser um protesto à reunião do Conselho Deliberativo, na sede do clube.

Durante o evento, houve a invasão de diversos torcedores presentes em General Severiano à sede, que eram contra o adiantamento de parte das cotas de televisão, que teriam a função de quitar algumas dívidas que estavam atrasadas.

Por conta do episódio, o clube divulgou, em seu site e nas respectivas mídias sociais, uma nota de repúdio à ação dos torcedores, afirmando que a reunião não foi impedida de ser realizada e que tentará tomar medidas cabíveis aos autores da invasão.

Confira a nota na íntegra:
“O Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas vem a público expressar o seu absoluto repúdio à invasão à sede de General Severiano, ocorrida na noite de quarta-feira (25/7), durante a Sessão Extraordinária do Conselho Deliberativo. Além dos lamentáveis atos de violência que colocaram em risco a segurança dos presentes, houve considerável prejuízo ao patrimônio do Clube com danos à estrutura histórica do Salão Nobre, o que é inadmissível.

O Botafogo FR informa ainda que apresentou, nesta sexta-feira (27/7), as informações coletadas às autoridades policiais e ao Ministério Público de modo a responsabilizar os seus autores.

Tratou-se de uma ação criminosa prévia e intencionalmente organizada por pessoas que querem prejudicar o Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, às quais responderão por seus atos ilícitos nas esferas cível e penal.

A ação criminosa não impediu o Conselho Deliberativo de realizar a reunião que foi corretamente convocada e aprovar todas as medidas necessárias ao regular desenvolvimento das atividades do Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas.

O Conselho Diretor não se intimidou e não se intimidará com ações criminosas e gostaria de reafirmar que está sempre aberto ao diálogo construtivo com todos os botafoguenses que realmente queiram colaborar com o soerguimento do Clube, iniciado no final de 2014. Reafirmamos ao quadro social e à torcida botafoguense que estamos trabalhando para superar a grave crise financeira, fruto do enorme passivo herdado.”

Younis, Misbah stabilise Pakistan

It was down to the old firm of Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq to stabilise Pakistan after the top order wobbled again

The Report by Abhishek Purohit11-Sep-2013
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsYounis Khan went past 7000 Test runs•AFP

It was down to the old firm of Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq to stabilise Pakistan after the top order wobbled again. Khurram Manzoor did make a determined half-century in his comeback series but Mohammad Hafeez had another failure at Test level and Azhar Ali fell early as well, leaving it to the experienced hands to start the repair job at 96 for 3. By stumps, Younis had become the fourth Pakistan batsmen to go past 7000 Test runs on his way to one more fifty, Misbah had dug in for the long haul as usual, and the stand had grown to 67.There was almost an air of inevitability to this familiar partnership, which was saying a lot on a pitch where a batsman was never quite in. The expected deterioration hadn’t happened yet, but there were many deliveries that stayed low. Scoring was difficult through the day but Younis and Misbah were assured, Younis pushing and driving straight, Misbah guiding and nudging square. There was the occasional play-and-miss and lbw appeal, but that could induce no change at all in the men’s temperament or their methods.Manzoor had shown excellent composure till he rushed out for a single to square leg soon after tea and was stranded, Younis’ refusal coming a touch late. The opener had kicked on from an uncertain start to play several aggressive drives with superb timing through point, cover and straight down the ground.Zimbabwe’s fast bowlers came nowhere close to matching the kind of bite Junaid Khan had generated on the first morning. They weren’t able to target the good length areas, where there were cracks, as well as Junaid had. Often, they overpitched, and Pakistan, chiefly Younis and Manzoor, capitalised.Manzoor could have gone without scoring. In the sixth over, he seemed to have got some glove off Brian Vitori for the wicketkeeper to take it down the leg side – there was a clear deviation – but the umpire probably felt it had come off the thigh pad. He was 1 off 23 at one stage and it was Hafeez who began with confidence, flicking and straight-driving for three fours as Pakistan got through the potentially tense period of eight overs before lunch unscathed.He fell in characteristic fashion soon after the break, though, poking at a Vitori length delivery to edge to first slip on 22. Azhar could have gone fourth ball, when Tendai Chatara hit his pad in front of middle but the appeal was turned down. But he was to fall in similar fashion, trapped leg-before off Tinashe Panyangara for 7.By then, though, Manzoor had got over his early nerves, and Zimbabwe had turned to Hamilton Masakadza, possibly to give their specialist seamers some leeway after the workload they carried in the first Test. However, Brendan Taylor stuck with Masakadza for four overs after Younis came in, allowing the batsman to settle in against harmless, gentle length deliveries outside off.In the morning, Chatara and Vitori also had had few problems settling in, as they batted into the second hour of the day in a last-wicket stand of 46 that stretched the Zimbabwe innings to 294. The hosts began the day on 237 for 8, hoping to make the most of the remaining two wickets with the surface expected to deteriorate significantly later. There was quite some sense on display from Nos 10 and 11 as they defended resolutely and earned precious runs.Pakistan felt they had got Chatara caught behind on 1 when Junaid ripped a lifter past the batsman’s prod. There was a faint sound as ball passed bat, but umpire Steve Davis was unmoved. It would be an hour-and-a-half more before Pakistan finally ended the innings.Chatara was fortunate again when a couple of close lbw shouts were turned down, off Ajmal and Hafeez, the latter one appearing especially tight. Abdur Rehman ultimately broke through in the 20th over of the day when umpire Ranmore Martinesz decided ruled the latest leg-before shout against Chatara, on 21, was far too plumb to be turned down.Panyangara had one lbw appeal negated against Misbah when he was on 18, the ball hitting the Pakistan captain high, on the back thigh pad. That was about as close as Zimbabwe came to separating the familiar partners.

Pato deve definir futuro nesta semana; Palmeiras ganha força

MatériaMais Notícias

Alexandre Pato deve definir qual será o seu próximo clube até quinta-feira. Essa é a expectativa de quem está envolvido na negociação. Neste momento, o otimismo é maior no Palmeiras do que no São Paulo.

O LANCE! conversou com diversas pessoas que estão acompanhando as tratativas ao longo desta terça-feira. Há diferentes versões sobre os valores apresentados por cada clube, mas um consenso: Pato ainda não deu sua palavra a ninguém, mas as últimas conversas indicam que ele está mais próximo do Palmeiras.

O Verdão, que conversa com Pato desde dezembro, oferece um contrato por produtividade até o fim deste ano, com previsão de aumento nos valores a partir de 2020 se o jogador de 29 anos atingir algumas metas. A proximidade do diretor de futebol Alexandre Mattos com André Cury, agente de Pato, é tida como decisiva.

Pato pagou 2,5 milhões de euros do próprio bolso para rescindir seu vínculo com o Tianjin Tianhai, da China, e deseja recuperar este investimento.

O São Paulo, com menor poder financeiro, ainda aposta no carinho que o atacante sempre demonstrou pelo clube, onde jogou entre 2014 e 2015. Nos bastidores do Palmeiras, no entanto, já há quem diga que Pato prefere jogar a Libertadores para estar mais próximo da Seleção Brasileira do que voltar ao Morumbi em um momento complicado. Pessoas ligadas à diretoria alviverde até negam que os valores oferecidos a Pato estejam muito distantes da proposta do São Paulo, algo que o LANCE! noticiou mais cedo.

Já está nos planos do Palmeiras negociar Miguel Borja na janela do meio do ano. A avaliação é de que o colombiano está desgastado, enquanto Deyverson não é muito confiável por seus recentes atos de indisciplina e Arthur Cabral é muito jovem.

ماسون ماونت يجتاز الفحص الطبي في مانشستر يونايتد

اجتاز اللاعب الإنجليزي الدولي، ماسون ماونت، الفحص الطبي اللازم، استعدادًا لاستكمال انتقاله إلى صفوف فريق مانشستر يونايتد.

كان مانشستر يونايتد قد أبدى رغبته في الحصول على خدمات ماونت، من فريق تشيلسي، في موسم الانتقالات الصيفي الحالي.

وقدم مانشستر يونايتد أكثر من عرض رسمي للظفر بخدمات ماونت، هذا الصيف، ولكن تشيلسي رفضهم جميعًا.

وتمسك مانشستر يونايتد بضم ماونت، قبل أن يوافق تشيلسي أخيرًا على عرض الشياطين الحمر.

ووفقًا للصحفي الشهير فابريزيو رومانو، فإن ماسون ماونت اجتاز منذ قليل الفحص الطبي في كارينجتون، تمهيدًا لانتقاله إلى كتيبة إريك تين هاج.

وأفاد بأن ماونت سيوقع عقدًا مع مانشستر يونايتد، سيكون ساريًا حتى عام 2027.

حلمي طولان: أتمنى استمرار صلاح محسن مع سيراميكا.. وهدف بيراميدز ذكرني بـ روبرتو كارلوس

قال حلمي طولان المدير الفني لفريق الكرة الأول بنادي سيراميكا كليوباترا، إن بيراميدز يعد من أفضل الأندية التي تقدم مستوى رائع ولديهم أفضل قائمة لاعبين في مصر.

وكان سيراميكا قد نجح في تحقيق فوز مثير على بيراميدز في الجولة 33 من عمر الدوري المصري، ضمن به البقاء في الدوري الممتاز، وأهدى به درع التتويج للنادي الأهلي.

وأضاف طولان في تصريحات تلفزيونية ببرنامج “الماتش”: “الحالة النفسية للاعبي سيراميكا كانت صعبة بسبب صراع الهبوط، لكن الفوز على فريق بهذا الحجم شيء أكثر من رائع”.

وتابع: “أوجه التحيه لجميع لاعبي سيراميكا كليوباترا، الذين يشاركون في المباريات والذين لا يشاركون بسبب روح الفريق، عندما يحصل اللاعبين على مكافأة في أي مباراة يتم تقسيم المبلغ على جميع اللاعبين بالمستبعدين أيضًا”.

وواصل: “كان من الضروري اتخاذ قرارات حاسمة من أجل تقويم بعض اللاعبين وإعادة الانضباط لغرفة الملابس”.

وأردف: “لقاء المصري في نهائي كأس الرابطة سيكون صعبًا جدًا، أطالب اللاعبين بتقديم أداء أفضل وطموح أكبر”.

واستكمل: “أما عن هدف كريم حافظ الذي دخل مرمانا فهو من أفضل الأهداف التي رأيتها هذا الموسم، وذكرني بتسديدات روبرتو كارلوس نجم البرازيل”.

واستطرد: “لابد من وجود ضحايا لتنقية الأجواء في غرفة خلع الملابس وفرض حالة من الالتزام والانضباط”.

واستأنف: “تلقيت اتصالًا من محمد أبو العينين بعد لقاء بيراميدز لتهنئة الجهاز الفني واللاعبين، والوضع الحالي لا يليق بفريق سيراميكا كليوباترا بكل تأكيد”.

وأشار: “محمد إبراهيم لاعب مهم بالنسبة لنا ومن العناصر الرائعة ومثل إبني، دفعت به أمام بيراميدز في التوقيت المناسب واللاعب أحدث الفارق”.

وأتم: “لا يمكنني تحديد الراحلين عن الفريق قبل معرفة القادمين، أتمنى استمرار صلاح محسن مع الفريق وكذلك محمد شكري”.

يذكر، أن النادي الأهلي قد أبلغ صلاح محسن بالعودة إلى القلعة الحمراء فور نهاية الموسم الجاري، وذلك بطلب من المدير الفني مارسيل كولر.

Botafogo discute judicialmente dívida referente a Henrique Almeida com São Paulo para contratar Diego Souza

MatériaMais Notícias

O Botafogo ainda busca um acerto com o atacante Diego Souza. Entre o clube e o atleta, os valores em relação a salários estão praticamente certos, mas a negociação não avança por conta do São Paulo, que cobra, de acordo com a apuração do LANCE!,em torno de R$ 3 milhões por conta de uma dívida referente a Henrique Almeida, revelado no Tricolor e contratado pelo Glorioso em 2014. O Glorioso não reconhece essa dívida e discute os valores na justiça.

A negociação foi feita pelo então presidente Maurício Assumpção. Carlos Eduardo Pereira, que assumiu o posto em 2015, assumiu a dívida da antiga gestão e, desde então, busca parcelar essa quantia com o São Paulo, que nunca aceitou, pedindo o pagamento da mesma de forma integral, algo que o Botafogo não pode oferecer, por conta das dificuldades financeiras.

Com Nelson Mufarrej, sucessor de Carlos Eduardo Pereira na presidência do clube, a coisa não é diferente. O mandatário também procurou o São Paulo com o objetivo de buscar uma forma de parcelar essa dívida, apesar das partes não concordarem integralmente com os valores. A equipe do Morumbi, por sua vez, permanece irredutível e só vai liberar o jogador mediante o pagamento do valor referente a Henrique Almeida.

Como a negociação foi sacramentada na gestão de Assumpção, o grupo “Mais Botafogo”, formado por Carlos Eduardo Pereira e Nelson Mufarrej, não reconhece o valor pedido pelo São Paulo e discute judicialmente sobre as cifras. Na opinião da diretoria do Alvinegro, trata-se de um ‘questionamento muito amplo, um processo complexo’.

Apesar das divergências, o que separa Diego Souza do Botafogo é realmente o valor dessa multa da transferência de Henrique Almeida. O Tricolor não abre mão de receber o valor e só liberará o atacante que o Alvinegro quitar a dívida.

Além do Botafogo, outro clube que monitora Diego Souza é o Sport. O Rubro-Negro busca repatriar o atacante e, assim como o Glorioso, ainda não desistiu do negócio referente ao jogador do São Paulo.

Australia restored or England refreshed?

ESPNcricinfo previews the third Investec Ashes Test at Durham

Big Picture At Old Trafford England remained unbeaten for the 11th consecutive Test, while Australia failed to win for the seventh match in a row. The result also ensured the Ashes would remain in English possession, yet the evidence of the eyes tended to conflict with that conveyed by the scoreboard and the record book. Australia appeared to have turned a significant corner, putting near enough to five days of staunch cricket together for the first time in recent memory, and England looked more than a little exhausted by their earlier efforts in the series. At the same time their batsmen showed increasing signs of frailty in the face of the tourists’ admirable pace attack, a reliance on Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen to extricate the top three from bother growing more apparent with each match.So with the series moving to a venue less familiar to both sides, though the pitch is again straw-coloured, the question is how much the trends of Manchester will have an impact on proceedings at Durham. England were by far the better of the two sides in coping with the quick onset of another match so soon after the Nottingham epic, and this time also have the added relief of not having to worry about retaining the urn anymore. They should thus be capable of playing with a little more freedom of expression, not least the young opener Joe Root, who looked near enough to paralysed during two soporific innings in Lancashire. The unrelenting seam-up stylings of Graham Onions appear a likely reinforcement for the hosts’ bowling attack, which lacked a certain pep last week.For Australia, the gains of the third Test will mean little if they are not followed up with a pair of equally compelling displays in the final two matches. Given how inconsistent the side has been throughout Michael Clarke’s captaincy, bottoming out with a horrid display in India, the habits of successful teams need to be re-established with a strong sequence of performances. The team’s belief in their bowling attack is considerable, but the batsmen now need to show that they can maintain the standards set by Clarke, Chris Rogers, Steven Smith and Brad Haddin. It cannot be forgotten that the next campaign for the Ashes is but three months away.Form guideEngland: DWWWW
Australia: DLLLL
Players to watchJonathan Trott has been on something of a charm offensive this summer, appearing in plenty of interviews and doing his best to sound like the world’s most fascinating individual. However somewhere along the way his ability to bat boring seems to have been lost. Near enough to impassable during the previous Ashes series in Australia, he failed to capitalise on some free-scoring form at Trent Bridge, albeit partly due to an incorrectly given lbw decision in the second innings. From there his form has ebbed away, and at Old Trafford he looked lost, stumbling across his stumps in the manner of sundry English batsmen in 1989. Within the team, Trott is admired for his consistency and even temper. Perhaps he needs to remember that being dull is an asset, not a weakness.Plenty of observers were surprised by the vim with which Chris Rogers batted in Manchester, but not those who had seen him play precisely those kinds of innings for Middlesex and Victoria. No fussiness, but plenty of feistiness, as a succession perfectly reasonable deliveries were cuffed to the boundary. The ability to play with aggression and decisiveness at a point of the game where others may be nervous or unsure is one of Rogers’ great attributes, but another is the fashioning of hundreds. So far, despite serviceable contribution to the series, he has fallen short of that goal. Nonetheless, Rogers is Australia’s best hope of finding someone other than Clarke to push on to the kind of score an innings may be built around.Team newsGraham Onions and Chris Tremlett are both in the England squad, and it appears most likely that the former will shuffle into the XI, perhaps at the expense of Tim Bresnan. There will be some temptation to withdraw one of Stuart Broad or James Anderson from the firing line after their efforts so far in the series.England (probable) 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Joe Root, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Ian Bell, 6 Jonny Bairstow, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Tim Bresnan/Graham Onions, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Graeme Swann, 11 James AndersonHaving tried no end of permutations since Michael Hussey’s retirement, Australia appeared to settle on a batting order they may keep from the second innings in Manchester. David Warner looked comfortable at the top with Rogers, while Shane Watson’s bowling may again lead to his demotion. One of Ryan Harris or Mitchell Starc will most likely make way for the fresher Jackson Bird.Australia (probable) 1 David Warner, 2 Chris Rogers, 3 Usman Khawaja, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Shane Watson, 6 Steve Smith, 7 Brad Haddin (wk), 8 Peter Siddle, 9 Ryan Harris, 10 Nathan Lyon, 11 Jackson Bird.Pitch and conditionsThe surface unveiled for the fourth Test maintains a pattern of dry, hard pitches prepared more or less to the specifications of the England coach Andy Flower. The forecast for Durham is for the occasional shower amid periods of friendly, if cloudy, weather.Stats and trivia This is the first Ashes Test to be played in Durham, making it the ninth ground to host a Test between England and Australia in the UK The last Ashes series to be drawn 2-2 took place in England in 1972 Michael Clarke needs 103 runs to pass Justin Langer and move into sixth place on Australia’s list of all-time run-makersQuotes”We want to win the Ashes and we haven’t yet done it. Along the way we retained them pretty quickly so that is a great achievement and something to be mighty proud of. We want to go on and win the series. The way the lads are, the way we are as a team and the way Andy Flower operates, there will be no let up of the standards we set ourselves.”
“I don’t think anyone is here to ‘give them a go’. That’s not in any Test cricket and certainly not an Ashes series, especially the position we’re sitting in now. It’s about picking your best 11 players.”

Glamorgan pile on after Klinger's insertion

Jim Allenby and Murray Goodwin held sway in the sunshine as Glamorgan assumed the upper hand against Gloucestershire

05-Jun-2013
ScorecardJim Allenby and Murray Goodwin held sway in the sunshine as Glamorgan assumed the upper hand on the first day of their Championship second division match against Gloucestershire at Bristol. Glamorgan’s fifth-wicket pair staged a restorative stand of 185 in 50 overs as the visitors recovered from 85 for 4 to reach 318 for 5 by the close afterbeing put in to bat by Gloucestershire skipper Michael Klinger.That decision appeared a good one when Craig Miles and David Payne took two wickets each with the new ball, but Allenby and Goodwin redressed the balance to help Glamorgan bank three batting bonus points with the prospect of more to come on the second day.Fresh from scoring a career-best 138 not out in his last innings against Leicestershire at Grace Road, Allenby raised his second hundred inside a week to alter the complexion of the game. He eventually succumbed to the second new ball, pinned lbw on the front foot by James Fuller having mustered 105 runs from 159 balls in a forthright knock that included 16 fours.Goodwin and Allenby fell just short of Glamorgan’s record fifth-wicket stand in matches against Gloucestershire, established by Michael Powell and James Franklin at Cheltenham in 2006. Rather more circumspect in his approach, Goodwin was still there at stumps, having chiselled an unbeaten 96 from 212 balls with 12 fours and added a further 48 runs with Mark Wallace for the sixth wicket.Klinger’s decision to insert Glamorgan raised a few eyebrows among County Ground regulars, but the tactic paid dividends initially as Gloucestershire’s seam bowlers made the most of early moisture to rip through the top order.Miles continued his rich vein of form when accounting for openers Ben Wrightand William Bragg in successive overs after being switched to the Ashley Down Road end. Having already claimed 20 first-class wickets at an average of 20.55 in four previous outings this season, the 18-year-old Academy product further pressed his claims for an England Under-19 call up on a flat County Ground pitch.Offering his team-mates an object lesson in line and length, Miles induced Wright to prod defensively at a ball outside off stump and offer a regulation catch to Gareth Roderick behind the stumps. Bragg succumbed in Miles’ next over, pushing tentatively outside off stump and directing a thickish edge to Dan Housego in the gully for 23.Payne’s left-arm swing ensured the home side made further in-roads while the shine was still on the ball, former Gloucestershire overseas batsman Marcus North and Stewart Walters departing either side of the lunch interval.Australian North was squared up by a ball that came back into him and was caught at the wicket having contributed just four runs, while the aggressive Walters fell to a poor shot. The former Surrey batsman had scored 28 when he flashed at a wide delivery from Payne and was held by the dependable Roderick.
