Com Maicon relacionado, Grêmio encerra a preparação para o duelo contra o Iquique-CHI

MatériaMais Notícias

No último treinamento antes da partida contra o Deportes Iquique-CHI, nessa terça-feira na Arena do Grêmio, o técnico Renato Portaluppi relacionou 22 jogadores para o importante duelo. A novidade se dá pelo retorno do volante e capitão Maicon, que ficou de fora da goleada por 5 a 0 contra o Veranópolis, no último sábado, pelas quartas de final do Campeonato Gaúcho.

Mesmo relacionado, a presença do capitão na equipe titular ainda é incerta. Renato novamente fez mistério e só revelará a escalação, minutos antes do jogo. Caso Maicon inicie a partida no banco, Michel será o titular da posição. Veja a lista dos jogadores relacionados para o duelo válido pela 2ª rodada da Libertadores:

Goleiros: Marcelo Grohe e Léo;
Laterais: Edílson, Bruno Cortêz e Marcelo Oliveira;
Zagueiros: Geromel, Bressan, Kannemann e Rafael Thyere;
Volantes: Ramiro, Michel, Arthur, Jailson e Maicon;
Meias: Léo Moura e Miller Bolaños e Gastón Fernández;
Atacantes: Luan, Pedro Rocha, Fernandinho, Éverton e Lucas Barrios.

Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs still chasing Dusan Vlahovic

Tottenham Hotspur are still interested in Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic [The Telegraph].

The Lowdown: Tottenham Hotspur gear up for 2021/22

With 2021/22 fast approaching in north London, Spurs gaffer Nuno Espirito Santo will be looking to fine tune his squad in order to both challenge for a top-four place and get the side playing his style of football.

Already signalling his intent to supply the squad with quality additions, he has brought in Atalanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini alongside Sevilla winger Bryan Gil [Transfermarkt].

Could the Lilywhites now be set for another transfer tussle following recent developments?

The Latest: Vlahovic also wanted by Liverpool

Seeking support for talisman Harry Kane in attack, Spurs are still eying a move for Serie A beast Vlahovic [The Telegraph], with whom they have been linked constantly this summer.

Southampton striker Danny Ings and Crotone forward Simy are also mentioned as possible targets.

Liverpool have also been known to be monitoring the 6 foot 3 Vlahovic in recent times [Liverpool Echo].

The Serbia international would seemingly represent a smart piece of business for any Premier League side hunting a physical front man with room to develop.

The Verdict: Vlahovic would be an excellent signing for Spurs

Renowned for his intelligent runs and finishing ability, the towering Serbian would add some unpredictability to the Spurs attack.

In 2020/21, he excelled for his current employers, registering 23 goal contributions in 40 appearances; 21 goals and two assists [Transfermarkt].

Wreaking havoc amongst opposition backlines, the 21-year-old managed to record 2.3 shots per 90 minutes across the campaign, showing his intent and fearlessness in front of goal [WhoScored].

Once labelled as ‘incredible’ by Serie A expert Conor Clancy, he could be a player who could have a significant impact for Tottenham should they secure his services [This is Futbol], and they should be pulling out all the stops to beat Jurgen Klopp and co to his signature.

In other news, an ex-Tottenham man has tipped the Lilywhites to sign a PL goalscorer.

ريال مدريد يوضح حقيقة تقديم عرض لضم بوجبا

لم يعلن النجم الفرنسي بول بوجبا عن وجهته المقبلة بعد إعلان رحيله عن مانشستر يونايتد الإنجليزي، بنهاية عقده في يونيو الجاري.

وأعلن مانشستر يونايتد أن بوجبا سيغادر صفوف الفريق في نهاية يونيو الجاري مع نهاية عقده في أولد ترافورد.

ويرتبط بوجبا بعودة محتملة لناديه السابق يوفنتوس، إلى جانب وجود أنباء بشأن اهتمام باريس سان جيرمان الفرنسي.

وأشارت تقارير أخرى إلى أن ريال مدريد مرتبط بمفاوضات مع بوجبا، وأوضحت صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية حقيقة ذلك.

وأفادت الصحيفة أن مصادر من ريال مدريد أكدت عدم تقدم النادي الإسباني بعرض لبوجبا وأنهم غير مهتمين بضمه.

هدف ريال مدريد لتقوية خط الوسط هو تشواميني، وعلى الرغم من أن لاعب موناكو لم ينته به الأمر بالتوقيع مع اللوس بلانكوس، إلا أن مسؤولي النادي الملكي لا يفكرون في بوجبا كبديل.

ومثل كل صيف في السنوات الخمس الماضية، يرتبط اسم بول بوجبا مرة أخرى باسم ريال مدريد ويوفنتوس. 

طلب زين الدين زيدان، في فترة تواجده مديرًا فنيًا لريال مدريد، التوقيع مع بوجبا، لكن هذا من الماضي، ويبحث النادي الآن عن ملف لاعب آخر في خط الوسط.

ويتفاوض بوجبا بشأن عودته المحتملة إلى يوفنتوس، حيث ستكون رحلة ذهابًا وإيابًا جديدة إلى فريق تورينو.

'Decisão do STF não importa em nada', diz ex-dirigente do Grêmio

MatériaMais Notícias

A decisão da Primeira Turma do STF em manter o Sport como único campeão brasileiro de 1987 continua a render uma repercussão negativa no mundo do futebol. Ex-presidente do Grêmio na época da criação do Clube dos 13, Paulo Odone declarou ao LANCE! que a determinação jurídica não interfere na certeza de que o campeão nacional foi o Flamengo:

– Talvez ao Sport interesse muito, mas nenhum fato jurídico muda o que nós fizemos no Clube dos 13. O Flamengo é o campeão brasileiro de 1987 e o Internacional, vice. Mesmo com o Inter sendo nosso rival, vou manter a coerência com o que decidimos.

Odone apontou que o veto à exigência do cruzamento de módulos para a Copa União ocorreu em comum acordo entre todos os clubes:

– Quando chegou a exigência da CBF, decidimos que iríamos manter nossa coerência e recusar o cruzamento, é isso que importa. Houve unanimidade dentro dos clubes dos 13 sim, está na ata! O Eurico Miranda foi à CBF e dialogou com eles. O que aconteceu em 1987 não pode ser mudado por ninguém.

O ex-dirigente destacou o impacto da Copa União, e lamentou que o movimento tenha se dissolvido com o passar do tempo:

– O que marcou a Copa União foi a rebeldia dos clubes em relação à CBF. Afinal, antes era a entidade que negociava e repassava para cada clube as cotas de transmissão. Nós mesmos criamos o Clube dos 13 e fizemos acordo com a Rede Globo e a Coca-Cola. Infelizmente, só não se completou porque esta ideia de uma liga foi minimizada. O Clube dos 13, depois, virou uma tesouraria da CBF – lamentou.

O caso saiu das quatro linhas e foi para a esfera jurídica ainda em 1988. E, há décadas, segue a se arrastar em várias instâncias.

BATE-BOLA

PAULO ODONE – Presidente do Grêmio em 1987

1 – Em que momento os clubes perceberam que era a hora de fazer uma ruptura com a CBF e organizar sua própria competição?

Os clubes estavam irritados com a manipulação política que marcava Brasileiro. Sempre víamos mais de 40, 60, chegamos a ter 94 clubes! Decidimos fazer uma reunião em São Paulo, na sede do Palmeiras, e, ao lado de outras lideranças como Carlos Miguel Aidar, Márcio Braga, Eurico Miranda, decidimos que faríamos uma competição mais enxuta. Originalmente, seriam os 13, mas depois completou para 16.

2 – Qual foi a reação de vocês quando, às vésperas do início da Copa União, a CBF anunciou a tabela do Campeonato Brasileiro feita por ela?

Aquela atitude da CBF pegou todo mundo de surpresa. Afinal, meses antes eles não teriam condições de organizar o Brasileiro, e agora estavam fazendo uma tabela? O presidente do Atlético-MG me ligou: “Paulo, se eu não jogar no Olímpico, vamos perder por WO?”. Eu disse para ele ficar tranquilo, que a tabela da Copa União era a que valia. A CBF cedeu, na Copa União fizemos uma competição com pontos corridos na primeira fase, seguido de mata-matas, e isto chamou um grande público nos estádios. Aceitamos dividir entre os Módulos Verde e Amarelo, com cada um tendo 16 clubes de maneira unânime.

Pietersen stars in crushing win

Kevin Pietersen’s magnificent 110 led England to a convincing 114-run-win over New Zealand in the first ODI at Chester-le-Street

Kevin Pietersen’s magnificent 110 led England to a convincing 114-run-win over New Zealand in the first ODI at Chester-le-Street. With a disciplined allround display in the field, they never let New Zealand have a sniff of reaching 308 – a target made all the more challenging for the visitors after the early wicket of Brendon McCullum for 36. If this wasn’t a complete one-day performance by England, it was something close to it. For New Zealand, it was sadly much of the same.Led by Stuart Broad, England’s bowlers were tight, disciplined and indebted to Pietersen’s remarkable hundred from 112 balls. For too long Pietersen has been in hibernation; this was his first one-day hundred since the 2007 World Cup, and once he passed fifty, he appeared to regress back into that creative, dominant batsman who had all of England purring two years ago. England had lost Luke Wright for a stodgy 11, while Bell struggled to replicate his silky timing of two days ago, falling for 46. When Ravi Bopara departed, rather timidly handing Scott Styris a caught-and-bowled, England limped to 95 for 3 with the halfway point fast approaching.That they reached the lofty heights of 307 was largely Pietersen’s doing, but Collingwood returned to form brilliantly with a run-a-ball 64, as the pair put on 136 for the fourth wicket. Pietersen initially struggled, pottering – as much he ever potters – to 30 but unfurled thrillingly. Styris, who was later to be dumbfounded by Pietersen’s touch of genius, was clattered through the covers; Daniel Vettori, who mostly outbowled all his colleagues, was flat-driven over the top for six and after reaching a run-a-ball fifty, he took on Michael Mason with fours over midwicket. How desperately New Zealand miss Jacob Oram and the balance he offers the side.For all Collingwood’s impressive personal recovery, bulldozing his way into form through sheer bloody mindedness, all eyes were firmly fixed on Pietersen who, by now, was shifting through the gears in style. Each of his trademark shots were ticked off: the blazing cover drive, fierce pull in front of square, but the reverse-switch six hasn’t been on view since he took on Muttiah Muralitharan in 2006. Here, he succeeded twice in four overs off an understandably perplexed Styris. Changing his grip and stance to that of a left-hander, Pietersen crashed him over cover (or midwicket, depending on your view) for one of the day’s longest sixes. Four overs later he bettered it with another, straighter and crisper blow which sailed into the stand at long-on. This wasn’t just audacious batting, but creative entertainment by a peerless showman. Surprising, then, that this was his first one-day hundred on home soil.Collingwood was bowled by a frustrated Vettori, but England continued to pile on the pressure, with Owais Shah taking over the mantle of entertainer from Pietersen. In 25 balls, he carved, cracked and crashed 49. He went inside out to Mason over extra cover; Mills was hoisted over deep midwicket for another six, while Southee’s debut went from bad to worse when Shah cracked him straight back over his head. It was breathless hitting.Whereas England were consistently good, New Zealand were quite the opposite – though they were given hope of reaching their target through McCullum. Ryan Sidebottom, recalled after being rested for Friday’s Twenty20 at Old Trafford, was fast but inaccurate, while James Anderson was back to his mercurial mediocre. McCullum capitalised, picking up Sidebottom for a huge six over midwicket, followed by a firm cut off Anderson two balls later.With Anderson and Sidebottom leaking runs, it was to the youngster that Collingwood turned. Broad may look 14, but for someone still so inexperienced he showed remarkable control – helped, no doubt, by removing the biggest wicket of them all with his first ball. It wasn’t the greatest of deliveries, truth be told: a short long-hop outside off which McCullum wellied straight to cover.James Marshall’s forgettable tour continued when he set off for a single to Collingwood in the gully, whose dead-eye throw knocked out the stumps to leave New Zealand stumbling on 61 for 2 after 14 overs. After McCullum, only Ross Taylor had the audacity to take on such a daunting total, and once he fell for 20 New Zealand had little hope. With the wickets came a resurgent England fielding display, Anderson excelling in the deep with two excellent saves, and only the most gnarly of nitpickers could fault them in the field.Collingwood capped off a fine allround day with four wickets, drowning New Zealand’s resolve. There may be no dollars or gold pots to chase in this form of the game at the moment, but England’s eyes were firmly fixed on winning from the outset.

Rosser insists Hammers already need upgrade on new signing

Journalist Jack Rosser believes that West Ham United need to upgrade on Craig Dawson in defence despite signing the centre-back on a permanent basis.

The defender became the Hammers’ first summer signing following his initial loan move from Watford.

The Hammers paid a total of £2m to bring the veteran into the club, per Transfermarkt, after he enjoyed an exceptional stay at the club last term.

Dawson made a total of 24 appearances in all competitions and scored four goals, helping the club to a sixth-placed finish as they achieved qualification for the group stages of the Europa League.

The Irons have still been linked with a number of central defenders this summer as David Moyes bids to improve his backline and Rosser is of the belief that they need to upgrade on the 31-year-old.

Indeed, the Hammers have been linked with potential moves for Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma and Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic.

He said: “Craig Dawson was a success last season but he’s not quite up to the standard they want to maintain the level they’re at so they are going to have to invest there.

“If they do that, it knocks Issa Diop down the pecking order, then they’d be silly not to look at any interest that comes in.”

ليفربول يتخذ قراره بشأن مستقبل تشامبرلين

كشفت تقارير صحفية بريطانية، عن قرار نادي ليفربول الإنجليزي بشأن مستقبل لاعب الوسط أوكسلد تشامبرلين.

تشامبرلين انتقل إلى ليفربول في صيف 2017 قادمًا من آرسنال مقابل 38 مليون يورو، لكن الإصابات كانت عطلت مسيرة اللاعب كثيرًا.

صحيفة “تايمز” البريطانية، أكدت أن ليفربول قرر فتح الباب أمام اللاعب للرحيل، والبحث عن نادٍ خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية، بعدما خرج من حسابات المدرب يورجن كلوب.

الموسم الماضي شارك شامبرلين في 29 مباراة بمختلف المسابقات مع الريدز، بمجموع دقائق 1526 دقيقة، وسجل 3 أهداف وصنع مثلهم.

في مسيرته مع ليفربول شارك شامبرلين في 133 مباراة، وسجل 17 هدفًا وصنع 15.

اللاعب الإنجليزي شارك مع منتخب بلاده في 35 مباراة وسجل 7 أهداف خلال مسيرته الدولية، التي تأثرت بطبيعة الحال بالإصابات التي تعرض لها، كان أبرزها الرباط الصليبي في موسمه الأول، وأدت لغيابه لأكثر من عام ونصف.

Flamengo deve ter retorno de Éverton, mas Donatti está praticamente descartado

MatériaMais Notícias

O Flamengo deve ter o retorno do meia Éverton para o clássico do próximo domingo, contra o Fluminense, na final do Campeonato Carioca. Aparentemente recuperado de uma entorse no tornozelo esquerdo, o atleta treinou sem limitações na manhã desta sexta-feira, no Ninho do Urubu. O técnico Zé Ricardo confirmou a boa expectativa.

Por outro lado, o Flamengo não deve poder contar com o zagueiro Donatti, que voltou a sentir dores musculares nas pernas.

-Na verdade, Donatti voltou a sentir um problema. Estamos com um cuidado para que ele possa se recuperar completamente. Vou esperar o departamento médico me falar amanhã (sábado), na revisão, para saber, com certeza, se ele condições de jogo ou não – comentou o técnico.

O treinador garantiu que vai escalar o que tiver de melhor. No entanto, ele comentou que pode poupar um ou dois jogadores que apresentarem maior desgaste físico.

-Muito provavelmente, teremos um ou dois jogadores que precisem ser poupados. É um título importantíssimo para o clube e a torcida. Vamos com o que temos de melhor, sem dúvida alguma – garantiu.

O Flamengo deve ir a campo com Alex Muralha, Pará, Réver, Vaz (Donatti) e Trauco (Renê); Márcio Araújo, Arão e Rômulo; Gabriel, Éverton (Trauco) e Guerrero.

O meia Ederson segue sem ser relacionado e está fora do clássico.
