Alvo do Palmeiras, Diego Souza não viaja com o Sport para Curitiba

MatériaMais Notícias

Desejo do Palmeiras, Diego Souza não vai viajar com o Sport neste sábado à tarde para Curitiba, onde o time joga na próxima segunda-feira. Depois de uma reunião na noite de sexta entre o empresário do jogador, Eduardo Uram, e o executivo de futebol rubro-negro, Alexandre Faria, o Leão foi informado que o camisa 87 está resolvendo problemas particulares. Caso jogasse nesta próxima rodada, ele não poderia mais atuar por outra equipe na Série A.

“O meia Diego Souza não segue com a delegação para Curitiba. O empresário do atleta entrou em contato com o clube e alegou motivos pessoais para sua ausência”, comunicou o Sport, via sua assessoria de imprensa.

Uram e Faria reuniram-se no Rio de Janeiro, e no encontro o Sport mais uma vez disse que não deseja liberar o ídolo, com quem tem contrato até o fim de 2018. O estafe do jogador tenta ou a liberação para o Palmeiras ou uma valorização no contrato, mas o clube pernambucano não tem pressa para negociar um aumento, por possuir um vínculo longo com Diego, e uma cláusula para renová-lo até 2019.

A informação de que ele não iria com a delegação para jogar contra o Coritiba foi uma surpresa, já que Diego Souza estava a princípio relacionado. O Sport agora aguarda o posicionamento do jogador, que já fez seis jogos neste Campeonato Brasileiro, justamente o limite para transferir-se a outro clube da Série A.

O Palmeiras enquanto isso aguarda. Cuca pediu a contratação do jogador, e o clube mostrou-se disposto a pagar R$ 12 milhões pelo atleta de 32 anos, convocado por Tite para a Seleção Brasileira. O Sport, porém, diz que só o libera mediante o pagamento da multa rescisória, que beira os R$ 60 milhões.

Embora mais pessimista, o Verdão ainda quer o jogador e ouviu de Uram que ainda tentaria negociar com a diretoria pernambucana. Semana passada, o gerente de futebol Cícero Souza foi a Recife tratar da negociação, mas voltou apenas com o empréstimo do zagueiro Adryelson, para o sub-20.

Aston Villa’s predicted line-up vs Chelsea

Aston Villa make the trip back down to Chelsea on Wednesday night looking to make it into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Dean Smith’s side’s last visit to Stamford Bridge ended in a 3-0 defeat, and the Villa boss will no doubt be tempted to shake things up in terms of his team selection, especially when you consider Manchester United loom on the horizon at the weekend.

With that in mind, below is a look at how Villa might line up when they face Chelsea tonight.

In goal, Jed Steer could play his second game in as many weeks, with Emi Martinez being given the chance to have a proper rest following his late arrival at the weekend in order to play the game against Everton.

In front of him, Tyrone Mings may be axed from the starting line-up to give Kortney Hause an opportunity, with the 28-year-old having had a day to forget when the two sides met in the Premier League a couple of weeks ago.

Ashley Young come could into the team in place of Matt Targett, while with Axel Tuanzebe ineligible to face his parent side United at the weekend, he is a shoo-in to start tonight.

The midfield could see Morgan Sanson make a rare appearance in the starting line-up – something we’ve called on Smith to do here on FFC – while he could be joined in the engine room by one of Villa’s brightest academy prospects in Carney Chukwuemeka.

Further forward, Jaden Philogene-Bidace should feature out wide with Bertrand Traore on the opposite flank, while Emi Buendia will be hoping to start just behind Ollie Watkins after only making the bench for the game against the Toffees at the weekend.

Predicted XI: Steer; Cash, Tuanzebe, Hause, Young; Sanson, Chukwuemeka; Traore, Buendia, Philogene-Bidace; Watkins.

Meanwhile, Dean Smith must start this Villa “warrior” vs Chelsea…

Arsenal fans slam Ben White vs Burnley

Many Arsenal fans have been slamming the display of Ben White in the first half of their game at Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The former Brighton defender struggled at times in the air against the Clarets’ two strikers Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes, a criticism of his in the 2-0 loss away at Brentford on the opening day.

He was also guilty of giving the ball away on a few occasions, which ended up giving cheap chances to Sean Dyche’s team, especially before Martin Odegaard settled nerves down with a sublime free-kick to put the Gunners 1-0 up.

Nonetheless, with a £50m price ag on his shoulders, White will want to show the Arsenal faithful in the second half why they paid so much money for him.

Pimpão pede Botafogo buscando pontos fora e lamenta gols perdidos

MatériaMais Notícias

Depois das derrotas para Avaí e Atlético-MG – por competições diferentes – o Botafogo terá pela frente, no domingo, ninguém menos que o líder Corinthians, em São Paulo. Até pelo momento, os jogadores alvinegros sabem do valor de pontuar dentro de Itaquera para a sequência dentro do Brasileirão. E Pimpão pediu para o elenco tentar “esquecer” o desgaste da maratona para vencer.

– A gente sabe que é uma maratona e não é fácil, mas o futebol no Brasil nos proporciona isso, temos que tirar do nosso reservatório tudo que temos para conseguir uma vitória fora de casa. Não digo pressão, mas temos que buscar pontos fora depois de uma derrota em casa. Seja um empate, mas vamos em busca da vitória sim para subir no Brasileiro – valorizou o atacante alvinegro.

Na reapresentação do elenco no Nilton Santos – depois de treino regenerativo – Pimpão também foi perguntado sobre as chances desperdiçadas no ataque nas últimas duas derrotas. E o jogador admitiu que os adversários estão vendo e entendendo melhor a forma ideal de enfrentar a equipe do Botafogo.

– Não é falta de qualidade, de técnica. Temos que também dar mérito à equipe adversária pelo estilo de jogo. Acho que os times já vem nos conhecendo, sabendo como a gente joga. Contra o Avaí tivemos o mesmo erro contra o Barcelona de Guayaquil. Queríamos fazer o resultado de uma maneira, eles vieram e fizeram outro – encerrou Rodrigo Pimpão na entrevista coletiva.

West Indies coach John Dyson has tagged Brendan Nash as an example for emerging batsmen to follow. Dyson described the reliance on four or five players in the two recent drawn Tests against New Zealand as “unfortunate” but said Nash had made a “significant contribution” in his first series.”We’re obviously challenging the other players, the younger players, to step forward and show their true ability,” he said. “With the experienced players, they’re the stars because they’re the long-term performers. Every team looks to its experienced players to perform but we need the lesser lights to go with them and make significant contributions.”He noted that some members of the team “have been around for a little while” and are due to make an impact in the remaining limited-overs matches on the tour.In his first Test series since leaving his native Australia two years ago to fulfill his goal of qualifying for Jamaica, the country of his parents, and the West Indies, the diminutive Nash was one of five key players against New Zealand along with captain Chris Gayle, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Jerome Taylor and Fidel Edwards.His 162 runs in three innings included scores of 74 and 65 in the second Test and two vital partnerships at difficult stages: with centurion Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the first innings and captain Chris Gayle in the second.The West Indies were reduced to 74 for 4 before lunch on the first day of the second match in Dunedin after opting to bat, when Nash stayed for three-and-a-half hours in helping Chanderpaul revive the innings. After he drove a catch to short extra-cover, the next five batsmen contributed 29 between them, as Chanderpaul advanced to his unbeaten 126.Behind by 64 on the first innings, the West Indies were 106 for 4 the second time round as Xavier Marshall and Chanderpaul, the rock, were dismissed by successive balls from off-spinner Jeetan Patel. When Nash was bounced out by James Franklin later, Gayle had passed his hundred and the total had moved to 230 for five.When Denesh Ramdin and Jerome Taylor followed cheaply, Fidel Edwards was promoted from No. 11 to No. 9 to partner Gayle. It was a strong message to Daren Powell and Sulieman Benn who were relegated after their first innings dismissals to careless strokes.Edwards recognised it for what it was. He remained almost two and a half hours all told, a lesson in lower order responsibility, and actually outlasted Gayle in a stand of 70.West Indies altered the balance of their attack from one Test to the next, preferring Benn’s left-arm spin to debutant Lionel Baker’s pace.Neither caused problems on ideal batting pitches, Baker going without a wicket from 25 overs in the first Test, Benn claiming one (on an lbw referral) from 41 overs in the second.Dyson repeated the point he has made since taking up the post just over a year ago – that the ideal situation would be able to travel with a pool of players, enabling the selection of a balanced team “for all surfaces”.”Unfortunately, numbers dictate you can’t do that,” he said.He noted that, during his time, the West Indies have played on “some dead-set flatties,” using Australian cricket-speak to describe lifeless pitches.”It’s important that we choose a squad that does enable us to pick a spinner if conditions so dictate,” he said. “Whether it’s Sulieman Benn, Nikita Miller, Amit Jaggernauth or Dave Mohammed would depend who we’re playing against, on what sort of wicket you end up with, on the ground you’re playing on. So there are a number of factors”.

سمير عثمان: أحمد توفيق يستحق الطرد في مباراة الأهلي وبيراميدز

علق الحكم الدولي السابق والمحلل الفني الحالي سمير عثمان، على الحالات الجدلية بمباراة الأهلي وبيراميدز التي أقيمت مساء السبت.

وكان بيراميدز قد نجح في تحقيق الفوز على الأهلي بهدفين دون رد في مباراة الجولة 25 والتي أدارها طاقم تحكيم إسباني بقيادة كارلوس ديل سيرو جراندي.

وقال عثمان في تصريحات تلفزيونية لفضائية “أون تايم سبورتس”: “هدف بيراميدز الأول صحيح ولا يوجد خطأ من البداية على لاعب بيراميدز، كان احتكاكا عاديا، وأيضًا لا يوجد تسلل على فخر الدين بن يوسف”.

وأضاف: “لا توجد لمسة يد على محمد الشناوي من خارج منطقة الجزاء”.

وأردف: “لا توجد مخالفة بالطرد المباشر على أحمد توفيق في الدقيقة 45 بعد احتكاكه مع لاعب الأهلي، لعدم توافر شروط الهجمة المحققة، ولذلك قرار الحكم صحيح بإشهار بطاقة صفراء”.

وأتم: “بعد هذه اللعبة بدقيتين نفس اللاعب أحمد توفيق لاعب بيراميدز كان يستحق إنذارًا ثانيًا ومن ثم الطرد بعد تدخل عنيف على حمدي فتحي لاعب الأهلي، لكن الحكم احتسب خطأ فقط دون أن يُشهر له البطاقة الصفراء الثانية”. تدخل أحمد توفيق على لاعب الأهلي

آس: بنزيما يغيب عن ريال مدريد أمام برشلونة في الكلاسيكو الودي

لن يتواجد الدولي الفرنسي كريم بنزيما، مُهاجم فريق ريال مدريد، رفقة الملكي في مباراته الودية الأولى ضد برشلونة بالكلاسيكو في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية.

ريال مدريد يلتقي مع برشلونة، فجر الأحد 24 يوليو 2022، وتقام المباراة على ملعب “أليجانت” بولاية نيفادا، في تمام الساعة الخامسة صباحًا بتوقيت القاهرة، السادسة صباحًا بتوقيت المملكة العربية السعودية.

وحسب صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، فإن بنزيما لن يتواجد في الكلاسيكو الودي، كما هو متفق عليه مع مدربه الإيطالي، كارلو أنشيلوتي.

وقالت الصحيفة إنه كان هُناك اتفاق بين أنشيلوتي وبنزيما على أن يحصل الفرنسي على راحة إضافية بعد موسم عانى فيه حيث خاض 46 مباراة مع الملكي.

بنزيما لا يزال في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية ولم يعد بعد إلى إسبانيا، ولكنه سوف يلتحق بمعسكر الملكي يوم 19 يوليو، حيث يقيم المرينجي في أمريكا حتى نهاية الشهر الجاري 31 يوليو.

بنزيما سيتواجد يوم 19 يوليو، وذلك يعني أنه سيخوض ثلاث جلسات تدريبية فقط (20 و21 و22 يوليو) قبل جولة لاس فيجاس.

ولذلك، لن يمنحه أنشيلوتي دقائق في الكلاسيكو، هذه الخسارة المهمة للفريق الأبيض ستمنح بورخا مايورال الفرصة لإظهار أنه يستحق التواجد تحت قيادة أنشيلوتي باعتباره البديل الأول لـ بنزيما بعد رحيل لوكا يوفيتش إلى فيورنتينا.

Wolves fans on Gibbs-White goal

Lots of Wolves fans have been left buzzing as an exciting update emerged on the talented Morgan Gibbs-White.

As shared by the official Twitter page of Sheffield United, the Midlands club loanee managed to score after just a few minutes of their EFL Championship home game against Preston North End, in which they eventually drew 2-2.

Gibbs-White was the highest-rated Blades player on Sofascore (7.5), as he managed to win three of his duels, and also record three key passes and two accurate long balls in the match (Sofascore).

Nonetheless, the central midfield player is clearly enjoying his loan spell away from Molineux, and it looks like it is paying off so far, with Bruno Lage surely keeping a close eye on his progress.
