أجرى خوان لابورتا، رئيس نادي برشلونة مقابلة موسعة على “راديو كتالونيا” تحدث فيها عن مختلف القضايا الحالية للنادي وكشف أن كيليان مبابي لاعب باريس سان جيرمان وهدف ريال مدريد، يطلب 50 مليون يورو صافي لكل موسم في عقده الجديد.

MatériaMais Notícias

O técnico Dorival Júnior acredita que a bola parada pode ser decisiva para o Santos nas quartas de final do Paulistão, contra a Ponte Preta, que tem jogo de ida neste sábado, às 16h, no Moisés Lucarelli. Na véspera do duelo, o Peixe repetiu diversas variações de bola parada durante o último treinamento.

Ricardo Oliveira, Jean Mota, Vitor Bueno e Victor Ferraz treinaram por três dias seguidos cobranças diretas. Além disso, a defesa também dedicou alguns minutos para posicionar a linha.

Por fim, os atacantes aprimoraram finalizações de fora da área, cara a cara com os goleiros, que se alternavam. Os trabalhos técnicos foram feitos desde quarta-feira.

O Peixe é o 7º colocado no Campeonato Paulista na categoria ‘finalizações certas’ com 57 acertos.

رئيس الليجا: تجديد مبابي لـ باريس سان جيرمان إهانة لكرة القدم

يرى خافيير تيباس رئيس رابطة الدوري الإسباني للدرجة الأولى، أن تجديد عقد كيليان مبابي مع باريس سان جيرمان يعد إهانة لكرة القدم.

كيليان مبابي كان قريبًا من الانضمام إلى ريال مدريد خلال الأيام الماضية، ولكن جميع التقارير اليوم تشير إلى انه أصبح أقرب من أي وقتٍ مضى للبقاء في باريس سان جيرمان وتجديد عقده مقابل 100 مليون يورو في الموسم لمدة 3 مواسم.

وعبر حسابه الشخصي على موقع التواصل الاجتماعي، تويتر، قال خافيير تيباس: “ما يفعله باريس سان جيرمان بتجديد عقد كيليان مبابي بمبلغ كبير، رغم تكبده خسائر بقيمة 700 مليون يورو في المواسم السابقة، والحصول على فاتورة رواتب تزيد عن 600 مليون يورو، يعد إهانة لكرة القدم”.

واختتم: “باريس سان جيرمان الآن أصبح خطيرًا على كرة القدم مثله مثل دوري السوبر الأوروبي”.

Carlton Palmer fires Southampton Graziano Pelle warning

Former Southampton midfielder Carlton Palmer has told The Transfer Tavern that he would be “totally against” Graziano Pelle returning to the Saints.

Pelle enjoyed a successful spell down on the south coast between 2014 and 2016, scoring 30 goals in 80 appearances before going on to join Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng.

The 36-year-old striker is now a free agent following his exit from Parma, prompting some Southampton fans to call for him to be re-signed.

It is something that Palmer, though, would be against, with the ex-Saint suggesting it would be a backward step for the club.

“I’m totally against it,” Palmer said when asked if the Premier League outfit should bring the Italian back to St. Mary’s.

“Fans, you know, will always put their hands up for a former favourite of theirs to return to the club, but it’s not always a wise move for him to come back. I think that would be a backward step for them.”

Nostalgia aside, there is little reason to re-sign Pelle this summer, with the 6 ft 4 former Southampton striker not having the best of times at Parma. In 13 games, he scored just once before leaving the Serie A outfit at the end of his contract.

Tite prioriza bola parada defensiva em treino da Seleção Brasileira

MatériaMais Notícias

Não é comum, mas o técnico Tite e sua comissão técnica optaram por fechar o treinamento da Seleção Brasileira. A atividade deste domingo durou cerca de 1h30 na Arena Corinthians, mas os profissionais da imprensa só puderam registrar as imagens por 20 minutos.

Após o aquecimento dos jogadores, Tite comandou uma atividade tática em campo reduzido e com o grupo dividido em dois times de onze atletas. Apesar da ausência da imprensa, a CBF divulgou um vídeo no qual Paulinho, autor de três gols contra o Uruguai, marca um golaço, após receber um passe de Neymar e acertar o ângulo de primeira. Em um segundo momento, o treinador exigiu bastante atenção nas bolas paradas, principalmente defensivas.

– É difícil esconder alguma coisa. Nosso estilo de jogo não tem nada a esconder. Mas isso é para ter mais privacidade, concentração. Pode ser esse o motivo dessa decisão. É difícil, mas o futebol é feito de detalhes. Por isso tem que se treinar muito bem, com concentração – comentou o zagueiro Marquinhos.

Líder das eliminatórias, o time do Brasil só deverá ter uma mudança para a partida contra o Paraguai. Com exceção da entrada de Fágner, que substitui o titular Daniel Alves, suspenso, a equipe deverá ser a mesma que goleou o Uruguai em Montevidéu.

وقال كامافينجا في تصريحات لشبكة “تيليفوت” الفرنسية: “لا يوجد مرشح للفوز بالمباراة النهائية، ليفربول أيضًا يتمتع بقوة كبيرة، وسيكون نهائيًا مميزًا بالنسبة لي أمام عائلتي”.

وعن تواجده بجانب زميله الفرنسي كريم بنزيما نجم وهداف النادي الملكي: “رؤية بنزيما والتواجد معه كل يوم بمثابة جنون، وما يفعله الآن هو أمر جنوني حقًا، إنه يساعدنا كثيرًا، إنه يحب كرة القدم حتى لو كانت الكرة خلفه، سيمكنه السيطرة عليها”.

واختتم: “عندما فزنا بالسوبر، احتفلنا في الملعب ومن ثم في غرفة تبديل الملابس كان الأمر طبيعيًا، والجميع تعامل بشكل هادئ وكان تركيزنا على المباراة المقبلة، وكان هذا هو الحال بعد الفوز بالليجا، لذلك هي عقلية الأبطال”.

" It’s a great honour to captain your home state and I’m extremely proud to have been selected to do so. Even though I may only actually lead the side onto the field in a limited number of games this season, I am hopeful of playing more games for the Bushrangers in the years to come. I view this as a long-term decision for the future".Warne said the squad had completed a tough pre-season and was in great shape to improve their results in 2002/03. "There’s been a great feeling throughout our squad this winter under the guidance of David Hookes and Greg Shipperd. I’m looking forward to working closely with David, Greg and Matty Elliott, to ensure the Bushrangers have the best chance of success in the Pura and ING Cup competitions on a consistent basis".Today’s announcement sees Warne now approaching his second stint as captain of the Bushrangers, after previously holding the position for three seasons between 1996-99. "I really enjoyed the captaincy last time and with the benefit of that experience and also leading Australia at various times since, I am confident I’m well-placed to lead the Bushrangers into a new era of success".Elliott, who replaced Paul Reiffel as captain midway through last season, was supportive of the decision. "All I want is for the Bushrangers to be successful. I enjoyed the captaincy last season and am keen to remain as a leader within the team in total support to Shane. We have a strong core group of senior players now in Darren Berry, Brad Hodge and Ian Harvey and I think we have an exciting season ahead of us".
