Vingadores? Dupla do Santos quer repetir feito de superação com o Fla

MatériaMais Notícias

Não precisava nem do 2 a 0 no jogo de ida, na Ilha do Urubu, para que o Santos tivesse motivação de sobra para vencer o Flamengo, nesta quarta-feira, às 21h45, na Vila Belmiro, pelo jogo de volta das quartas de final. No que depender de Vanderlei e do técnico Levir Culpi, as memórias da Copa do Brasil serão o suficiente para contagiar o elenco em busca da classificação.

O camisa 1 é quem mais tem o Flamengo entalado na garganta desde 2014. Nas oitavas de final da mesma competição naquele ano, ele defendia o Coxa e defendeu três cobranças na série que definiu a classificação. Mas não foi o suficiente, já que seus companheiros desperdiçaram quatro.

-Foi um jogo atípico. Não só pelos pênaltis, mas tínhamos vencido por 3 a 0 na ida. Na volta levamos três, foi conturbado, o juiz deu dois pênaltis contestados. Fiz três defesas e não conseguimos a classificação. Não ficamos felizes, mas foi bacana ajudar. Espero que dessa vez nem precise e que a gente passe no tempo normal – recorda Vanderlei, em entrevista ao L!, antes de falar especificamente do adversário desta quarta.

-Não tem adversário fácil nessa fase. Fizeram 2 a 0 merecidamente. Temos que jogar mais agora, estamos em um grande momento e teremos a torcida nos apoiando. Teremos chance de reverter essa situação – pontua.

O aproveitamento de Vanderlei em penalidades é favorável: nos últimos seis, defendeu três e viu os batedores desperdiçarem os outros três.

Para Levir Culpi, as lembranças são só as boas. Depois do Flamengo ter passado pelo Coritiba de Vanderlei, encontrou o Atlético-MG do atual treinador santista. No primeiro duelo, no Maracanã, venceu pelo mesmo placar: 2 a 0. Mas na volta…

O Flamengo abriu o placar no Mineirão e a vantagem de três gols. Mas com o embalo da torcida, o Galo empatou no primeiro tempo e fez mais três no segundo. Classificação garantida e uma lembrança que ficará com Levir durante toda a vida.

Tanto ficou que o técnico promete usar nesta quarta, no vestiário da Vila Belmiro.

-O que dá para usar, é que é possível. Mais uma vez estou nessa situação. Uma coincidência que pode se repetir. Me lembro das passagens. O time tem que ter alegria e a torcida do lado. A possibilidade aumenta. Se acontecer, será inesquecível. Que possa se repetir. Será que tenho tanta sorte assim? – diz o treinador.

O Peixe precisa de três gols para avançar. Mas antes, da experiência de quem já encarou de frente o Flamengo e venceu.

Crystal Palace: Fans react to Connor Wickham injury

Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to injury news regarding former striker Connor Wickham on social media.

The 28-year-old was let go by the Eagles over the summer after making 50 appearances for the club during a six-year stay.

Wickham has since joined Preston and made his first start at Deepdale in the week in the Carabao Cup.

However, Wickham, who missed over 140 Palace games through various injuries, had to be replaced after just seven minutes against Cheltenham Town with a hamstring problem.

It has since emerged that the centre-forward will need to see a specialist due to the injury, with head coach Frankie McAvoy claiming it ‘is not looking good’.

Palace fans react

The news regarding another injury for Wickham caught the attention of a number of Palace supporters on Tuesday evening. This is what some had to say in reply, with many sharing their sympathy towards the striker and one labelling it as ‘heartbreaking’.

Reforço do Santos, Nilmar explica temporada inativa e diz não ter lesão

MatériaMais Notícias

A previsão dos médicos e fisioterapeutas do Santos é de que Nilmar fique apenas na academia por pelo menos um mês até poder treinar em campo. O prazo, considerado curto no futebol para quem está há tanto tempo inativo, será para recondicionamento físico, conforme explicou o próprio atacante em sua apresentação no CT Rei Pelé, nesta segunda-feira.

-Meu problema é físico, não clínico. Não tenho lesão grave há dez anos. Preciso me readaptar.Não joguei por problemas contratuais, não por lesão – alegou em suas primeiras palavras.

O problema contratual em questão foi no Al-Nasr, dos Emirados Árabes, seu ex-clube. Segundo o camisa 18 do Peixe, ele não concordou com uma oferta de transferência que o clube já havia aceitado. Depois, a equipe já havia feito a inscrição de outro atleta e a janela de transferências se encerrou. Por isso, ficou 14 meses sem atuar.

-Como eu fui uma contratação alta em termos salariais, o clube decidiu me negociar. Mas como eu tinha feito contrato de dois anos, queria cumprir. Levei toda a família e queria pelo menos dois anos lá. Depois de uma temporada, alguns clubes procuraram, não era compensatório pela parte financeira e de vida. Eu tinha filhos no colégio, família adaptada… Acabou fechando a janela, contrataram outros e eu não fui inscrito. Participei de treinamentos e amistosos. É difícil explicar, só quem está lá sabe o que eu passei lá. Não vale a pena questionar muito. Eu sabia como funcionava lá, mas é bola para frente. Não guardo mágoa – detalha.

No Santos, Nilmar chegou após rescindir seu vínculo nos Emirados Árabes e assinou contrato válido até o final de 2018.

Feliz com o retorno ao Brasil após quase dois anos, o atacante ainda lembrou que quase acertou com o Peixe há 12 anos.

-Já estive próximo do Santos quando saí do Corinthians, não vim por detalhes. Quando soube da nova oportunidade, não pensei duas vezes. Hoje não foi a parte financeira que pesou. Nunca tinha ficado sem jogar sem estar lesionado. Foi ano difícil. Tive problemas contratuais. Venho muito motivado. Gostaria de entrar em campo com meu filho, ele só me viu seis meses no Inter. Minha família está muito motivada com a minha volta – pontua.

Gregg Evans drops Aston Villa claim about Bogarde

The Athletic’s Gregg Evans has dropped some exciting transfer insight into Aston Villa starlet Lamare Bogarde.

What’s the story?

Writing on Twitter, the journalist claimed: “#AVFC were in a rush to sign Lamare Bogarde before Brexit. #THFC #AFC #MCFC and #MUFC were all keen but Villa’s ‘project’ was too exciting to turn down. One year on and the 17-year-old is flying.”

And, in a follow-up article for The Athletic, Evans added: “Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa have both taken the hard-working teenager under their wing. They immediately warmed to the bright, polite youngster and recognise his potential.

“The youngster is calm and composed in possession and likes to play out from the back. That he’s a regular for the under-23s and was given the captain’s armband last time out also says a lot about his transformation at Villa over the past two years. Still so young but gradually developing into the player Villa hoped they were getting when they went above and beyond to convince him that claret and blue was the future, Bogarde is maturing quicker than expected.”

Villa fans will be buzzing

The 17-year-old joined from Dutch giants Feyernoord, and has been spending time with both the U23s and U18s in his time at the club.

Speaking after his arrival, academy manager Mark Harrison, raved: “We are delighted to welcome Lamare to the club. He is a player with immense potential and the commitment that will go in to fulfilling that starts now.”

A holding midfielder by trade, but also capable of playing a little further forward and even further back as a central defender, the young Dutchman’s versatility speaks volumes about his tactical intelligence.

And when you look at his record for Feyernoord’s youth sides, you see someone who despite being a holding midfielder, can also be a threat going forward, notching two goals and providing four assists in 19 games for the U17s.

The fact that Evans has claimed that the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City, among others, were all interested in signing him, speaks volumes of the kind of esteem that some of the Premier League’s heavyweights held him in.

Despite that interest, Bogarde made the switch to Villa Park, and as Evans says, found the Midlands club’s project just too exciting to turn down – exactly the kind of statement and ambition that will have fans buzzing about the future.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa have another exciting academy starlet in this teenager…

'Flintoff and I supported Pietersen' – Harmison

Steve Harmison has termed as “nonsense” reports that he and other senior England players, including Andrew Flintoff and Andrew Strauss, supported sacked coach Peter Moores ahead of Kevin Pietersen

Steve Harmison has termed as “nonsense” reports that he and other senior England players, including Andrew Flintoff and Andrew Strauss, supported sacked coach Peter Moores ahead of Kevin Pietersen. Harmison wrote in his column for the that the reported leak from team sources resulted in Pietersen’s resignation as England captain and left Moores without a job.”I can say without a moment’s hesitation that both Fred [Flintoff] and I supported Kevin as our captain and our leader, Strauss has already made his backing for Kevin quite clear and any suggestion that we turned against him when Hugh Morris, the managing director of England cricket, rang us for our views over the crisis is rubbish,” said Harmison.”The idea that we told Morris that we supported Peter Moores ahead of Kevin is nonsense. To my mind, the only people who have stabbed Kevin in the back are those who chose to leak the information that he had promised to quit the captaincy for the tour to the West Indies if Peter remained as coach.”According to Harmison, Pietersen decided to relinquish the England captaincy after “all attempts to resolve a growing problem had failed”. It was a decision that could have been avoided, felt Harmison.”We may never discover how that information then reached the public domain, but once that train was running, there was no way of stopping it,” said Harmison. “Yet my belief is that had the row stayed in-house, there might still have been a chance for Morris to get Peter and Kevin together to thrash out the issue, and a hugely upsetting and damaging breakdown might have been avoided.”Maybe if Kevin and Peter had tried one last time to find common ground in private – without the pressure of the story having been made public and everyone and his dog airing their often misinformed opinions – a different outcome might have taken place.”Harmison, who confronted Pietersen after he was dropped for the Mohali Test against India, refused to accept the notion of a dressing-room rift, with players in one camp or another. “That is exactly what I told Hugh Morris when he was canvassing opinion this week,” he said.Harmison played down the rift between Pietersen and Flintoff. “Anyone who truly believes Fred was not behind KP should have been in Mohali,” he said. “Fred tried his nuts off in the first Test in Chennai, then, only a few days later in a match that was almost certain to be a draw, he was still putting the ball down the other end at in the 24th and 25th overs of the second innings. Every time Kevin asked him for another effort he gave everything, and with a supposedly weak ankle.”

Former coach happy with Amla's progress

Hylton Ackerman, the former Western Province captain who first spotted Hashim Amla’s talent, has said he is happy with the progress his former charge has been making. Amla had a slow start to his Test career but has had a great 2008, making 1012 including three centuries.”People used to make a big fuss about his backlift and say he’d never crack it as a top player,” Ackerman, who also coached him at the Under-19 and A levels, told . “He’s proved them wrong – it has barely changed since he was a kid.”Amla’s average was a poor 22 at the end of 2006, it jumped to 32 by the end of the next year and is now a respectable 40, and the constant improvement came in for praise from Ackerman. “He’s not static, and it’s to his credit that he’s lifted his standards both as a batsman playing all around the wicket and as a fielder too – he used to be pretty poor in that department but he’s excellent now.”Amla started the Australian tour with an unbeaten century in a one-day warm-up game against Western Australia and Ackerman felt the series would be a big challenge. “He is still finding his way against the short ball from genuinely fast bowlers, and I will be glued to my TV to see how he handles the Brett Lee barrage in the Tests.”England certainly tested Amla against the bouncer as well this year, and he bobbed and weaved and dropped his wrists rather well – but those pitches are also slower than Australian ones.”I think if Hashim gets through the Lee trial he will be up and away in Oz. I have no problem with his decision not to attempt the hook shot, and rather to concentrate on his (evasive tactics).”The first Test starts on Wednesday in Perth, on what is expected to be the fastest surface of the series.

تقارير: برشلونة يحسم صفقة ليفاندوفسكي مع بايرن ميونخ

أكدت تقارير صحفية مختلفة منذ قليل أن نادي برشلونة الإسباني نجح في التوصل إلى اتفاق مع نظيره بايرن ميونخ الألماني حول ضم النجم روبرت ليفاندوفسكي.

رغبة ليفاندوفسكي في مغادرة بايرن ميونخ لا تُعد سرًا خفيًا على أحد، حيث أبلغ مسؤولي بطل الدوري الألماني برغبته في الرحيل هذا الصيف عقب نهاية الموسم الماضي.

ويتطلع اللاعب البولندي إلى مغادرة بايرن ميونخ وخوض تجربة تجديدة مع فريق آخر، وتحديدًا برشلونة.

ودخل برشلونة في مفاوضات بالفعل مع بايرن ميونخ، على مدار الأسابيع الماضية، ولكن لم يتوصلا إلى اتفاق بسبب الاختلاف حول الرسوم المالية.

ولكن يبدو أن الأمر قد حُسم، حيث ذكر الصحفي جيرارد روميرو أن هناك اتفاقا كاملا في الوقت الحالي بين برشلونة وبايرن ميونخ بشأن صفقة ليفاندوفسكي.

بينما نشر الصحفي الألماني باتريك ستراسر، رموز تعبيرية، توحي باقتراب انتقال ليفاندوفسكي إلى الكامب نو، وأن المسألة مجرد وقت فقط.

من جهة أخرى، أوضحت شبكة “كادينا سير” الإسبانية أن مصادر داخل برشلونة تفيد بأن صفقة ليفاندوفسكي يتم العمل عليها للانتهاء منها بشكل رسمي في أقرب وقت ممكن.

وأفادت مصادر أخرى من بيئة ليفاندوفسكي أن الصفقة ستُغلق قبل يوم الإثنين المقبل.

كما ذكر الصحفي جيانلوكا دي مارزيو أن برشلونة حسم بالفعل صفقة ليفاندوفسكي، وأن الأخير لن يشارك في العرض التقديمي الجديد لفريق بايرن ميونخ اليوم السبت، قبل الموسم المرتقب.

في حين قال الصحفي الشهير فابريزيو رومانو أن مسألة انتقال ليفاندوفسكي إلى بايرن ميونخ يعتبر الآن مجرد مسألة وقت، بعد مفاوضات يوم الجمعة.

وأشار إلى إنه من المتوقع الآن الحصول على الضوء الأخضر النهائي من بايرن ميونخ وبعد ذلك سيتم الانتهاء من الصفقة، مع العلم أن ليفاندوفسكي لديه اتفاق مع برشلونة على صفقة لمدة 3 سنوات.

دي خيا عن فشل انضمامه لـ ريال مدريد: التواجد في مانشستر يونايتد أكبر من أي لقب

علّق ديفيد دي خيا حارس مرمى مانشستر يونايتد الإنجليزي، على استمراره في صفوف الشياطين الحمر، وفشل انضمامه إلى ريال مدريد قبل سنوات.

وكان دي خيا على وشك التوقيع لريال مدريد في صيف 2015، لكن عطل في جهاز الفاكس تسبب في فشل الصفقة نظرًا لغلق الموعد النهائي في سوق الانتقالات حينها.

كان من الممكن أن يعود دي خيا إلى مسقط رأسه وينضم إلى النادي الذي فاز بأربع بطولات دوري أبطال أوروبا في السنوات السبع الماضية.

وبدلاً من ذلك، بقي حارس المرمى الإسباني في ملعب أولد ترافورد حيث أضاف كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي وكأس رابطة الأندية الإنجليزية والدوري الأوروبي إلى لقب الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز الوحيد الذي فاز به في موسمه الثاني تحت قيادة السير أليكس فيرجسون في عام 2013.

دي خيا في مقابلة نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية، كان فلسفيًا بشكل ملحوظ، يتحدث بشغف عن حبه لـ مانشستر يونايتد، منذ وصوله في صفقة بقيمة 18.9 مليون جنيه إسترليني من أتلتيكو مدريد في عام 2011. 

يقول دي خيا الذي يبلغ من العمر 31 عامًا وهو أب لطفلة تبلغ من العمر عامًا واحدًا، إنه سيكون سعيدًا بالبقاء في أولد ترافورد لبقية حياته المهنية.

دي خيا الذي يتبقى له عام واحد على عقده البالغ 375 ألف جنيه إسترليني في الأسبوع بالإضافة إلى خيار سنة إضافية، صرح حول إمكانية تجديد عقده: “نعم، إذا كان ذلك ممكنًا”.

مضيفًا: “بالطبع سأكون سعيدًا حقًا لوجودي هنا طالما أرادوا، إذا سمحوا لي بالبقاء هنا، فسأبقى هنا بالتأكيد، أنا مرتاح حقًا، سعيد حقًا وآمل قبل أن أغادر أن نتمكن من الفوز بشيء ما”.

وهو ما يعيدنا إلى جهاز الفاكس، والفرصة الضائعة للتتويج بدوري أبطال أوروبا في ريال مدريد، ويعلق دي خيا: “لا أمانع في الحديث عن ذلك، أنا أفكر فقط في مانشستر، إنه منزلي”.

وشدد: “أشعر أنني بحالة جيدة هنا، إنه لشرف كبير أن أكون هنا في هذا النادي، من أفضل الأشياء في حياتي أن أكون جزءًا من هذا النادي”.

وواصل: “لقد مررت بأوقات عصيبة في الأندية، أوقات جيدة، لقد مررت بالعديد من المواقف التي لم نفز فيها بالقدر الذي نريده ولكني أحب النادي”.

وشدد دي خيا: “بالطبع، نريد الفوز، لكن الفوز أو عدم الفوز، مجرد التواجد في هذا النادي أكبر من أي لقب”.
