Tchê Tchê valoriza desempenho do Palmeiras diante das dificuldades

MatériaMais Notícias

O calor da cidade de Ribeirão Preto foi um dos protagonistas da vitória por 1 a 0 do Palmeiras sobre o Botafogo-SP, principalmente por conta da parte física dos jogadores neste início de temporada. O triunfo, apesar de ter sido pelo placar simples, foi bastante comemorado pelos palmeirenses.

Um dos jogadores que valorizaram o resultado fora de casa foi o meio-campista Tchê Tchê, que atuou durante os 90 minutos da partida e foi um dos mais participativos da equipe. Para ele, o time tem reagido bem a essas dificuldades.

– A gente está conseguindo sofrer pouco nestes dois jogos. Só temos a melhorar jogo a jogo, muito difícil hoje aqui, tem que comemorar bastante os três pontos. Agora é descansar para jogar em casa – comentou o camisa 8.

Tchê Tchê também aproveitou para comentar o gol de Borja e projetar a temporada de 2018, que se torna ainda mais promissora após duas vitórias seguidas. A cobrança sobre o grupo no ano passado é uma das lições para o sucesso daqui para frente.

– Não é só ele (Borja), todos foram cobrados bem pesado ano passado, porque não conseguimos os resultados que a gente queria, tanto jogadores, torcida, diretoria… Este ano estamos tentando nos unir mais desde o começo para ficarmos fechados e para que os resultados venham neste ano – concluiu.

O Palmeiras volta a campo na próxima quinta-feira para enfrentar o Red Bull, no Allianz Parque, às 21h. A partida é válida pela 3ª Rodada do Paulistão-2018.

Ex-Spurs gem sees value soar by 935%

Marcus Edwards was once likened to Lionel Messi by former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino and we’re finally starting to see that potential shine through.

Only it’s away from north London.

The 23-year-old was let go in the summer of 2019 and two-and-a-half years later, he has secured a pretty lucrative move in Portugal, where he has been thriving ever since.

Where is Edwards now?

Indeed, the former England U20 international joined Primeira Liga champions Sporting Lisbon for €7.67m (£6.5m), signing a contract until 2026. A club famed for its youth system, one that saw the likes of Ballon d’Or winners Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Figo break through.

He signed for Ruben Amorim’s Lions from Vitoria Guimaraes, where he delivered 20 goals and 16 assists across 96 appearances, which worked out to be one direct goal contribution every 175.6 minutes, via Transfermarkt.

A very respectable return for a young player that was cast away by the Premier League giants, perhaps a little prematurely.

“The qualities – it’s only looks, his body and the way that he plays – remember a little bit from the beginning of Messi,” Pochettino revealed back in 2016 (via Sky Sports).

“He’s small, he’s left-footed, I remember a little bit [Erik] Lamela when he was at River Plate, remember he had long hair, when he was 14, 15 years old, there is a lot of videos on YouTube that you can see, that he took the ball, didn’t give a pass and shot straight away.

“He [Edwards] is a very good prospect and potentially he can be a top player, but we need to be patient and tell him that he has a lot of talent, enough talent to be a top player, a great player.”

At the time of his exit from the Lilywhites, the English winger was valued at a lowly £1.13m (Transfermarkt). That has since skyrocketed 935% to £11.7m – more than the price Sporting Lisbon paid, so they’re getting quite the bargain.

“He is of a bizarre level, what he can do is really not normal, I have not experienced a better player in my career, and Mauricio Pochettino did not make that comparison with Messi for nothing,” former Excelsior Rotterdam teammate Jeffry Fortes once told Voetbal International.

Given his age, Edwards is still nowhere near competing at the top of his game, so this may merely be the beginning of a long, fruitful and successful career, one that Spurs will undoubtedly regret missing out on now.

Those around Hotspur Way thought they were grooming a real star of the future in the Messi-like gem, but it’s over in Portugal where this flower has blossomed.

AND in other news, Paratici could end Conte’s ongoing Spurs nightmare with “swashbuckling” £10m bargain…

Allround Essex too strong for Glamorgan

Essex moved into the top four of the Friends Provident t20 South Division with a comprehensive 66-run victory over Gloucestershire at Bristol

23-Jun-2010
ScorecardEssex moved into the top four of the Friends Provident t20 South Division with a comprehensive 66-run victory over Gloucestershire at Bristol.The Eagles posted 184 for 4 after winning the toss, Matthew Walker top-scoring with 66 and Scott Styris blasting 41 including five fours and two sixes. James Franklin took 2 for 33.In reply, the Gladiators could manage only 118 all out in 17.3 overs as Styris, Chris Wright and Danish Kaneria claimed two wickets each. The home side remained rock bottom having won only two of their eight matches. Only youngster Chris Dent (31) and Chris Taylor (32) could make any impression on the Essex bowling as Gloucestershire slumped again, having been bowled out for only 68 in their previous game with Hampshire Royals.They were never in the hunt after experimental opener Jon Lewis fell for a duck in the opening over, sent down by Styris. Too many batsmen offered catches, the best of them a tumbling effort from Tim Phillips at deep mid-wicket to dismiss Steve Snell.Earlier, Essex had also made a poor start to their innings with Ravi Bopara (two) run out off the third ball by Franklin’s direct hit at the bowler’s end from mid-off. But Alastair Cook and Walker soon repaired the damage, adding 63 in eight overs. Cook smashed a Gemaal Hussain full toss over mid-wicket for six and also hit three fours in making 38 off 32 balls before top-edging a short one from Franklin to cover.The real acceleration came when Walker and Styris plundered 60 in four overs between the 13th and 16th, with Styris twice lifting the off-spin of Kadeer Ali straight over the bowler’s head for six. It was 147 for 3 when the New Zealander fell to Franklin having faced only 21 deliveries. Walker followed with the total on 165, having reached a half-century off 34 balls, with eight fours.Hussain went for 42 off his four overs. Lewis was the pick of the Gloucestershire bowlers, conceding only 19 from his full stint. It was the Eagles’ fourth win in seven t20 games and they remain well on course for a quarter-final place.

Everton: Alex McLeish makes Donny van de Beek claim

Pundit Alex McLeish believes Everton could be leading the way to sign Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek on a permanent basis, Football Insider report.

The Lowdown: Impressive first start

Van de Beek made the move to Goodison Park from Old Trafford for the second half of the season late in the January window.

The Toffees pipped Crystal Palace to the Dutch midfielder’s services and the 24-year-old starred on his first start under Frank Lampard last weekend.

Michael Ball labelled his display against Leeds as ‘perfect’, whereas Lampard has shown his own love for the player, revealing Van de Beek has been a dream to work with since arriving on Merseyside.

The Latest: McLeish’s comments

Talking to Football Insider, McLeish, who contributes for BBC Radio 5 Live, believes the Toffees could now be in ‘pole position’ ahead of a summer move.

“There’s no doubt there’ll be a lot of clubs (interested).

“If Man United have signed him in the first place then he’s obviously a player of great pedigree.

“A lot of clubs would have wanted him in the first place. They will be looking on with interest, keeping an eye on his situation.

“Of course, Everton might be in pole position.”

The Verdict: Likely?

The next few months could well be key in regards to Van de Beek’s long-term future, and you wouldn’t bet against a full-time move to Everton materialising.

He has played just 579 minutes of Premier League football over two seasons for United, so if he becomes a regular under Lampard and helps steer the Toffees away from the relegation zone, all parties may well be willing to discuss a permanent transfer at the end of the season.

However, Van de Beek is under contract with the Red Devils until 2025, is on £120,000-a-week and cost United over £35m back in 2020, meaning a permanent move could be costly for Everton.

Yorkshire slip to 34-run loss

Chasing 156 for victory, Yorkshire never looked like getting there once opener Adam Lyth had gone and they limped to a final total of 121 for 9

04-Jul-2010
ScorecardThe new £21million Carnegie pavilion and media centre was in use for the first time at Headingley on Sunday but Yorkshire were unable to celebrate the occasion, going down by 34 runs to Warwickshire in a lacklustre display in the Friends Provident t20 North Division. Chasing 156 for victory, Yorkshire never looked like getting there once opener Adam Lyth had gone and they limped to a final total of 121 for 9, Ant Botha doing most of the damage with 3 for 16.It was a different story while Lyth was at the crease, however, because the young left-hander hit a flurry of boundaries off the opening overs from Boyd Rankin and Neil Carter as Yorkshire raced to 40 inside five overs. But after cracking 34 from 16 balls with six fours, Lyth drove at Steffan Piolet’s first delivery and was caught behind by Richard Johnson.Gerard Brophy was stumped off Darren Maddy and after being dropped twice off Piolet, Herschelle Gibbs was bowled by Imran Tahir. Yorkshire were missing Anthony McGrath with an injured thumb and when Jacques Rudolph fell to Botha they were 81 for 4 and sinking quickly, the last two wickets going down to consecutive balls from Keith Barker.After Warwickshire had won the toss, Neil Carter made sure they got off to a flying start with a typically aggressive 16-ball 21 that included three fours and a six but once he had been yorked by Tino Best – who sent down several deliveries at over 90mph – Yorkshire’s five-pronged bowling attack appeared to have gained the upper hand.Maddy had three fours and two sixes in his 19-ball 33 and Barker top-scored with a more sedate 35 from 31 deliveries but of the remaining batsmen only Botha made any impression with an unbeaten 26.Adil Rashid was once again Yorkshire’s most economical bowler with the wickets of Jamie Troughton and Ian Westwood at a cost of only 20 runs from his four overs but the top wicket-taker was Rich Pyrah who fully atoned for his last-ball 12 which resulted in a tie with Northamptonshire a couple of days earlier.Pyrah had Rikki Clarke caught behind by Brophy and in his final over before Piolet and Tahir succumbed to boundary catches to leave the allrounder with figures of 3 for 20.

Chris Rogers, the Australia opening batsman, has stepped down as Derbyshire captain and handed the leadership to Greg Smith for the remainder of the season.Rogers has led the county since midway through the 2008 season but Derbyshire are currently bottom of Division Two in the County Championship with just two victories in the campaign. There is also a doubt as to whether Rogers will be able to return to county cricket next season because of the time lapse since he has played international cricket.”I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as captain of Derbyshire and there have been some fantastic moments along the way,” Rogers said. “Although I had every intention of captaining the team until the end of the season, both John Morris and I believe it is in the best interests of the club to give Greg this opportunity.”I will help him in any way that I can and will continue to act as a senior player and mentor for the younger players in our side as well as continuing to do my best for the team as a batsman.”Head of cricket John Morris added: “Chris has done a great job as captain of the team for the past two years and I thank him for his efforts and dedication to the role.”Having been vice-captain throughout the current season and experienced the captaincy during the Friends Provident t20 campaign, it is a natural progression that Greg now takes over as captain.”Smith, the South African-born allrounder, is having a solid season, scoring 585 runs at 32.50 in 12 Championship matches and taking 37 wickets and 30.59 with his mixture of medium pace and offspin.

Ressaca e futuro incerto: o Botafogo às vésperas da semi da Guanabara

MatériaMais Notícias

O Botafogo está a dois dias de um clássico pela semifinal da Taça Guanabara e vive uma crise grave, principalmente de confiança. Confiança especialmente na relação dos atores internos com a torcida, que impulsiona qualquer clube. Após a eliminação na Copa do Brasil e o protesto no retorno dos jogadores, a alta cúpula do departamento de futebol e da diretoria e estiveram reunidos na noite desta quarta-feira. O desfecho deve ser conhecido nesta quinta.

Pela manhã, após a atividade no Estádio Nilton Santos, haverá uma entrevista coletiva com personagem ainda indefinido. Espera-se que algum dirigente se manifeste sobre a continuidade ou não de Felipe Conceição como treinador principal, o que foi tema central do encontro desta quarta, ocorrido fora de General Severiano.

Além do protesto no aeroporto, a pressão de torcedores sobre os dirigentes pela demissão do treinador está forte. Forte como poucas vezes se viu no clube. Há quem esteja convicto de que o comandante que assumiu há um mês não continuará. Mas o maior rival, o Flamengo, é o próximo adversário, e demitir o técnico pode gerar vácuo de preenchimento difícil em pouco tempo.

A queda no mata-mata nacional, com mudança tática radical e com atuações individuais ruins de pelo menos meio time, colocam em xeque o planejamento para a temporada. Tantas alterações na diretoria e na comissão técnica – além da saída de Jair Ventura, por opção própria, para o Santos – foram um acerto?

Já há nomes cotados para a eventual substituição do atual treinador. Cuca é o principal, e seria basicamente financeira a distância entre o querer do clube e o do comandante do Carrossel de 2007.

As críticas aos atletas não são poucas também, mas há pouco tempo para lamentações. Se o astral alvinegro está ruim, imagine se houver uma derrota no próximo sábado…
