Com base mantida e reforços pontuais, Vitória inicia Copa do Nordeste em busca do hexa

MatériaMais Notícias

Maior campeão da história da Copa do Nordeste, com cinco títulos, o Vitória inicia sua trajetória na Copa do Nordeste 2018 nesta terça-feira, diante do Globo-RN, às 22h45 (horário de Brasília), no Barretão, em Ceará-Mirim. A expectativa é grande em busca de mais uma taça. Até o momento, o clube fez contratações pontuais para reforçar o elenco.

Foram quatro novos jogadores contratados: os laterais Lucas e Bryan, o meio-campista Lucas Marques e o atacante Denílson. Todos atuaram na Série A em 2017.

Lateral-direito, Lucas esteve no Fluminense em 2017. Experiente, ele conquistou a Copa do Brasil em 2015, pelo Palmeiras. Bryan é lateral-esquerdo, e fez parte do elenco do Cruzeiro campeão da Copa do Brasil no ano passado.

Já Lucas Marques e Denílson estavam na Chapecoense e São Paulo, respectivamente. Aos 22 anos, ambos esperam se firmar no Vitória. O atacante, inclusive, deixou os torcedores animados ao fazer os dois gols rubro-negros no primeiro jogo-treino da temporada: triunfo por 2 a 1 sobre o Atlântico.

Com a manutenção de Vágner Mancini – treinador que possui maior número de jogos pelo clube – e a espinha dorsal do time, o entrosamento deve ser a arma do Leão nas primeiras partidas da temporada. Nove dos 11 jogadores que deverão iniciar o jogo de estreia são remanescentes de 2017, entre eles Santiago Tréllez, estrangeiro com maior número de gols no Brasileirão do ano passado: dez tentos.

– A Copa do Nordeste é um torneio muito importante no primeiro semestre. Somos os maiores campeões, e lutaremos para voltar a ganhar a competição. Temos uma base já formada, que será importante para o início do ano – afirma Erasmo Damiani, diretor de futebol do clube.

O Vitória segue atento ao mercado e deverá se reforçar mais nas próximas semanas.

– Estamos buscando mais alguns nomes de forma minuciosa. Queremos trazer jogadores pontuais, para fortalecer o elenco ainda mais. Estamos planejando para termos um grande ano, para que possamos dar muitas alegrias para o torcedor – completa Damiani.

A Copa do Nordeste será o pontapé inicial de uma temporada cheia de compromissos: Baiano, Copa do Brasil e Brasileiro. No estadual, a missão é conquistar o tricampeonato. Na última edição, o Leão levou o título de forma invicta.

Além do entrosamento e reforços de qualidade, o clube baiano também terá nas tradicionais categorias de base uma fonte para observar jogadores. Do atual elenco, nove dos 27 atletas são formados no tradicional celeiro do clube.

Com grande campanha na Copa São Paulo 2018, o Leão tem um dos destaques do torneio: o atacante Luan, de apenas 18 anos. Com cinco gols marcados, ele é um dos artilheiros da Copinha e é cotado para subir para os profissionais. O Rubro-Negro está nas oitavas de final de final e busca o título inédito.

O jogo desta terça-feira, diante do Globo, pela Copa do Nordeste, também é especial por outro motivo: será o primeiro sob comando do presidente Ricardo David, que assumiu o cargo em dezembro. O Rubro- Negro está no grupo B do torneio, ao lado de Globo, Ferroviário e ABC.

مدرب جيرونا: كان يجب احتساب هدف ريال مدريد الملغي

تحدث ميشيل مدرب جيرونا لوسائل الإعلام بعد حصوله على نقطة في سانتياجو برنابيو من ركلة جزاء مثيرة للجدل سجلها ستواني، وهدف تم إلغاءه لرودريجو في الدقيقة 90 وكان هدف فوز ريال مدريد.

وفرض جيرونا تعادلاً إيجابيًا بهدف لمثله على ريال مدريد في منافسات الدوري الإسباني مساء الأحد. 

وقال ميشيل في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية حين سُئل عن هدف رودريجو الملغي: “في كرة القدم أعتقد أنه هدف، لكن مع وجود القاعدة المتعلقة بأن الكرة في يد حارس المرمى فهي خطأ ويلغى”.

مضيفًا: “يجب أن نلقي نظرة على اللوائح لأنه هدف بالنسبة لي، إذا لم تلمس حارس المرمى، يجب أن يكون هدفًا”.

وتابع ميشيل: “فكرت في الأمر في المباراة ضد ألميريا عندما ألغوا لنا هدفًا مماثلًا، وأنا أفكر في الأمر الآن، لكن القاعدة هكذا”.

عانى ميشيل من نفس الموقف في الجولة العاشرة ضد ألميريا، خسر فريقه جيرونا 3-2 وفي الدقيقة 97 تعادل بهدف من يانجيل هيريرا، ألغى الحكم الهدف، لأن الحارس لمس الكرة بيد واحدة على العشب.

Changing captain for the sake of it not clever – Pollock

Shaun Pollock has said changing the South Africa captain for the sake of it is not the way forward and that there needs to be a stronger support structure around the leader

Telford Vice19-May-2010

Shaun Pollock: “Is there someone who can do a better job? If Graeme [Smith] has had enough and wants to get out, that’s a different thing”•Associated Press

Shaun Pollock, the former South Africa captain, has a short, sharp view on the leadership debate that is beginning to bubble in South Africa following their disappointing performance at the ICC World Twenty20 in the Caribbean.”Who takes over?” Pollock asked. “Is there someone who can do a better job? If Graeme [Smith] has had enough and wants to get out, that’s a different thing. But change for the sake of change is not clever.”South Africa are under fire after a disappointing performance at the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean. They were eliminated in the second round to stick to the script of failing to fulfil their highly-ranked potential in ICC tournaments. Questions are being asked about Smith’s future as captain, and the first sign that major changes are underway was the announcement that AB de Villiers will keep wicket in the two Twenty20 matches and fiveone-day internationals South Africa will play on their current tour to the West Indies. de Villiers replaces Mark Boucher, 33, a fixture in the team who has played 131 Tests, 291 one-day internationals and 25 Twenty20 internationals.Pollock’s tenure as captain ended after South Africa bowed out of the 2003 World Cup, which they played at home, in the first round. Smith took over the reins from Pollock, and he still holds them. The former allrounder suggested that the support structures around South Africa’s captain may need attention.”There were still goals I wanted to achieve and things I wanted to do with the team when I resigned,” Pollock said. “But I remember [former captain] Hansie [Cronje], towards the end of his time as captain, saying he was running out of ideas.”The people around the captain need to make sure they are giving him different ideas. It’s a collective effort, and the South African team has always worked that way.”Pollock’s career continued as a player under Smith’s captaincy. What did he make of him as a leader? “If there was ever any issue between us, it was because I was just getting used to his style of captaincy,” Pollock said. “He likes to lead from the front, but he was always open to ideas and searching for new ways to take the team forward.”South Africa will also play three Test matches in the Caribbean. The first Twenty20 international is in Antigua on Wednesday.

Lampard could give VDB a key role

Everton managed to get a loan deal over the line for Donny Van de Beek on Deadline Day, as the out of favour Manchester United star seeks first-team football elsewhere.

The temporary move doesn’t just benefit the midfielder’s future, but could be a crucial signing for the Toffees this season in their challenge to climb back into a safe position in the Premier League under new manager, Frank Lampard.

The 24-year-old has not been able to make his mark in the Premier League yet, with just five starts over his first 18 months at the Manchester club, but will be hoping that he can make an impact on the Everton side, especially with Abdoulaye Doucoure out for at least a month with an injury he picked up against Aston Villa, which saw him forced off the pitch in the 65th minute.

This has given Van de Beek, who was hailed “perfect” by Owen Hargreaves, the ideal opportunity and elevates his chances of making an instant appearance in the starting line up when the Toffees return to action this weekend in the FA Cup against Brentford.

New Everton boss, Lampard, has already been praised by the £35m midfielder in his first interview since joining the side yesterday;

“I had a really positive meeting with the new coach. We have the same ideas about football and he had a lot of influence on my decision,” Van de Beek explained.

“I played against him when I was at Ajax, and he was at Chelsea (as the manager), so he knows me as a player. He thinks I have qualities that can help the team.

“I can learn a lot from him because he was a little bit in the same position – a midfield player who scored a lot of goals.”

Van de Beek is not unproven in his potential and his talents, when you look at his career before he joined Manchester United, his record under Erik ten Hag at Ajax is absolutely phenomenal with 41 goals and 34 assists in 175 appearances from his midfield position, an output Lampard will be hoping that he can inspire the Dutchman to reignite at Everton.

The Chelsea legend now has the opportunity to further prove his worth as a manager in the Premier League by getting the very best out of the current crop of players that Rafa Benitez failed to have a positive impact on, and implementing the new signings into the side to improve the trajectory that Everton has been on so far this season by taking the club out of a potential relegation battle.

Should he immediately get more from van de Beek then he will surely become an instant hit at Goodison.

Atacante João Paulo, do São Paulo, deve ser o novo reforço do Criciúma

MatériaMais Notícias

Revelado no CT de Cotia, o atacante João Paulo está em Santa Catarina para assinar contrato de empréstimo com o Criciúma. O jogador tem vínculo com o São Paulo até o dia 19 de fevereiro de 2019 e não será aproveitado pelo Tricolor no ano que vem. Com isso, o garoto, de apenas 21 anos, fara exames médicos no clube catarinense e deve assinar contrato até o fim da próxima temporada.

O atleta terá como principais desafios a Copa do Brasil, o Campeonato Catarinense e o Brasileirão da Série B – competição onde tentará recolocar a equipe na elite do futebol nacional – para mostrar serviço e retornar ao Tricolor. Neste ano, João Paulo defendeu as cores do Bahia, mas não empolgou no clube nordestino e foi devolvido ao São Paulo. Sem espaço no elenco, o atacante arrumou as malas e viajou para Criciúma.

Defendendo as cores do Tricolor de Aço, João Paulo fez apenas 12 jogos em 2017 e anotou três gols quando teve oportunidade. Sua última partida foi no dia 13 de agosto, quando enfrentou o Atlético-PR, pela 20ª rodada do Brasileirão. Na ocasião, o Bahia venceu por 4 a 1.

O jogador está apalavrado com o Criciúma e, após aprovação nos exames médicos e físicos, deve ser anunciado oficialmente como reforço do Tigre.

وشدد: “يجب أن نكون في وضع أفضل، اللاعبون متحمسون للفوز، وهذا الفوز تحديدًا سيمنحنا الثقة ودفعة قوية للمباريات القادمة”.

وأردف: “مانشستر سيتي دائمًا ما يكون صعبًا علينا سواء على أرضنا أو أرضهم، لكن الأهم هو الحصول على الثلاث نقاط”.

وواصل: “لا أشعر بالقلق عندما أهدر فرصة، وأعلم أنها ستأتي مرة أخرى، أشعر بالقلق فقط عندما لا تكون هناك فرص من الأساس”.

واختتم: “صنعنا الفرص اليوم، وكنت أعرف أنني سأسجل عندما تأتي الفرصة الثانية لي، حاولت فقط أن أبقى مركزًا، وأضع الكرة في الشباك، وكنت محظوظًا”.

Newcastle: Attila Szalai on Magpies’ radar

Newcastle United are one of the clubs interested in Fenerbache centre-back Attila Szalai, according to Sky Sports News. 

The lowdown

With less than two weeks remaining in the January transfer window, the Magpies are in the market for a central defender. Newcastle have conceded 43 goals in their 20 Premier League matches so far – an average of 2.15 per game – and their record for expected goals against is the worst in the division.

They had hoped to sign Sven Botman from Lille, but encountered so much resistance from the reigning French champions that they opted to move on to other targets.

Szalai was at the centre of a bizarre episode last month when Hungary manager Marco Rossi declared that a move to Chelsea was a ‘done deal’, only for no transfer to materialise.

The latest

According to Sky Sports News, Newcastle are rivalling fellow Premier League club West Ham United and Serie A giants AC Milan in the race for Szalai’s signature.

The expectation is that he would cost somewhere ‘in the region’ of £16.7m.

The verdict

Szalai has been a regular in his first full season in Turkey following a move from Apollon Limassol a year ago, starting 17 out of a possible 21 Super Lig matches and four out of six Europa League group stage games.

His ‘progression’ in Istanbul has been hailed as ‘unbelievable’ by football journalist Ben Bocsak, while he also played every minute for Hungary in their ‘Group of Death’ at last summer’s European Championship, taking on Portugal, France and Germany.

The defender was one of his country’s standout performers at the finals, leading the way for passes into the final third over any other player and also ranking highly for ball recoveries. That was enough to earn him a spot in Squawka’s under-23 team of the tournament.

This is all really encouraging for Newcastle fans as their club pursue a much-needed defensive reinforcement.

David Warner hundred hands Delhi huge win

Wickets fell in each of the first three overs, but David Warner batted on some other island, scoring a superb century and setting up a huge win for Delhi

The Bulletin by Sidharth Monga29-Mar-2010
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were outDavid Warner’s unbeaten 107 propelled Delhi back into the top four•Indian Premier League

Wickets fell in each of the first three overs of Delhi Daredevils innings, but David Warner batted on some other island to score the second century of this year’s IPL, his first in Twenty20s. On a track that assisted spinners, Delhi bowled smartly to never be threatened in the defence, winning comfortably and moving back to the top four.Neither did the Kolkata Knight Riders attack elicit respect from Warner, nor did the situation result in apprehension: he just cleared the front leg and hit his way to 107 off 69. The support required amid early wickets came from half-centurion Paul Collingwood, whose innings came straight out of the Paul Collingwood school of batting – practically without a back lift. Out of their 128-run stand in 16.2 overs, Warner scored 74 off 54.David Hussey, bowling so round-arm he looked like Lasith Malinga bowling off a two-step run-up, and Murali Kartik were Kolkata’s best bowlers, going for just 50 in their eight overs. They lost Angelo Mathews, who had conceded 11 in two overs, when he had his upper lip opened up while pulling off a diving save at the long-on boundary. The other 10 overs, though, featured a lot of loose bowling, and duly went for 116 runs.On a slow, turning pitch, Warner’s technique was simple: clear the front leg, don’t commit to any shot, and decide based on what kind of delivery it is. Throughout his innings, right from his first boundary slashed over point in the second over to his last six hit over long-off in the last over, he displayed this wonderful ability to hit to any part of the field from the same position. Between those two shots, he hit eight other fours and four other sixes. Anything full headed towards cow corner and midwicket, width had wide mid-off and point peppered. He also got a few generous long hops on the pads.A returning Charl Langeveldt saw the flames right up, and the returning Ishant Sharma was charred in his first over. Still both of them managed a wicket each, and it was a desirable start to have Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Dinesh Karthik back in three overs. However, they had another think coming.Warner’s four fours and a six off 12 balls had taken Delhi to 38 in those three overs already. Langeveldt came back in the fifth over, and was smashed for a four and a six. Hussey bowled a tight over to end the Powerplay, but at 62 for 3 Delhi could afford to consolidate. By the time Ajit Agarkar was introduced in the 12th over, Warner had paced his way to 66 off 42, Collingwood to 19 off 18, and Delhi were 97.Agarkar provided Delhi the next thrust: Warner smacked the loose deliveries, and Collingwood manufactured a boundary by walking down the track and flicking him over midwicket. Between the 14th over and the 17th, even as Warner moved closer to his century, the spinners allowed only 17 runs.In the 18th over came drama, when Kartik claimed a tough return catch. A disappointed Warner walked back on 96, but the third umpire, who didn’t find the catch clean, had him back. Kartik still finished off well, but in the next over Collingwood took over the hitting, lofting Gayle for two sixes, just clearing the rope.After letting Warner stroll to his century, Collingwood went for his third low six in the last two overs when Hussey produced the rare bright moment for Kolkata – a play that involved parrying the ball over the boundary, getting it back into play, and then diving back in to complete one of the most awesome catches ever. Good hands, sharp brain, an athletic body, all came together.Yet 28 came in the last two, and Kolkata needed an extraordinary start on a difficult pitch. Something quite opposite happened: Sourav Ganguly was like a rabbit caught in headlights against Dirk Nannes, Manoj Tiwary was done in by an Andrew McDonald offcutter that stayed low, and Mandeep Singh was owned by Amit Mishra. When David Hussey survived a plumb lbw first ball and Chris Gayle was dropped off Mishra the next ball, Kolkata were 34 for 3 in 5.2 overs.Neither of the beneficiaries could hurt Delhi, and as the required rate rose both of them holed out, leaving Umesh Yadav to make a mark with quick and full bowling for two wickets. Mishra was the pick of the bowlers, mixing the googlies and sliders well, and should have had Hussey and Gayle added to his figures of 1 for 18.The difficulty with which Kolkata struggled to 137 underlined the value of Warner’s knock, which took the pitch and the match state out of the equation.

Sky make Lingard to Spurs claim

Speaking on live TV, Sky Sports have shared a transfer update out of Tottenham Hotspur involving Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard.

The Lowdown: Spurs eye playmaker…

Tottenham have arguably failed to replace former fan favourite Christian Eriksen since he joined Inter Milan in 2020, leading to links with names who could finally fill that void.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/spurs-latest-updates-5/” title=”Spurs latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Juventus man Dejan Kulusevski, who can operate as an advanced playmaker, is thought to be held in high esteem by both manager Antonio Conte and sporting director Fabio Paratici.

Lingard has also been mentioned before amid his precarious contract situation at United with Sky now making an exciting claim on live TV.

The Latest: Sky make Lingard to Spurs claim…

As per the reliable broadcast giant, Tottenham have made contact with the 29-year-old’s entourage over a potential move.

“This will get Tottenham fans excited, they’ve been screaming for a creative midfielder, someone to replace Christian Eriksen, someone who can score goals, set up goals, and be really dynamic,” as said on Sky.

“Tottenham fans will like this one, potentially, Jesse Lingard is on their radar.

“Tottenham are keen to sign Lingard and they have approached his representatives over the course of this window, potentially with a view to a move in January, possibly, maybe more likely, the summer.”

The Verdict: Get it done?

Scoring nine goals and assisting four others over a very productive West Ham loan spell last year, it’s clear to see Lingard has the talent to turn it on when given the opportunity.

As well as this, Lingard could leave for as little as £15 million this month according to some reports, arguably a bargain given his quality and the fact he would also be a part of Tottenham’s homegrown quota.

On a reported £100,000-per-week, his salary is very affordable with a potential swoop for Lingard looking like a seemingly realistic transfer.

We are surprised he hasn’t actually been more heavily linked with Spurs sooner.
