Palmeiras tem conversa com o Inter, mas esfria interesse por Valdívia

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras esfriou o interesse em contratar Valdívia, do Internacional. Depois de um diálogo rápido entre as diretorias dos dois clubes, no Verdão chegou-se à conclusão de que o setor em que jogador atua já tem opções suficientes. Desde então, as conversas não foram para frente.

Enquanto o rival Corinthians tentava acertar uma troca com o Colorado envolvendo Giovanni Augusto, comenta-se no Palmeiras que empresários contataram o atual campeão brasileiro questionando se havia interesse em Valdívia. Alexandre Mattos tinha tentado contratar o atleta em dezembro, mas na ocasião os gaúchos só aceitavam vendê-lo, e por isso o Verdão afastou-se.

Houve na última semana o contato entre os clubes, e o Palmeiras foi informado de que agora existia a possibilidade de ser feita uma troca de jogadores. O arquirrival, do outro lado, desistiu após Giovanni recusar a troca; o caminho, assim, ficaria facilitado ao Alviverde, mas não houve sequência no negócio.

O presidente do Corinthians, Roberto de Andrade, chegou a ligar para Maurício Galiotte para falar sobre o interesse dos rivais no mesmo jogador. Só que a avaliação no departamento de futebol é de que o elenco neste momento já tem muitos jogadores que atuem tanto na armação quanto pelo lado do campo – Hyoran, Michel Bastos, Raphael Veiga, Guerra, Vitinho, Dudu, Erik, Keno, Róger Guedes, Willian e Rafael Marques. Além deles tem Moisés, que se recupera de uma cirurgia no joelho esquerdo e volta no segundo semestre.

Aos 22 anos, Valdívia é um xodó da torcida colorada, mas caiu de rendimento após uma lesão. Neste ano, com o técnico Antonio Carlos Zago ele atuou em 13 partidas, com um gol marcado. O comandante do Inter na quarta defendeu o atleta e afirmou que irá trabalhar para recuperá-lo.

-Tenho um desafio de o Valdívia ser o jogador que todos esperam. É diferenciado. Tecnicamente, não tenho alguém como o Valdívia. Ele já mostrou seu futebol.Um dos meus objetivos devolver o Valdívia na sua plenitude, mesmo que seja um processo que leve algum tempo – avisou.

Nixon drops West Brom update on Adam Reach

West Bromwich Albion are battling to secure a move to bring Adam Reach to the Hawthorns this summer.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a claim made by Alan Nixon, with The Sun journalist revealing in a post on Twitter that Albion are fighting Blackburn Rovers for the signature of the former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder, who is a free agent after leaving the Owls at the end of last season.

In response to a fan asking whether Rovers were close to signing anyone this summer, Nixon said: “[Blackburn are] still in Reach race despite the West Brom interest.”

Reach could solve problem

With Valerien Ismael often setting Barnsley up in a 3-4-2-1 formation last season, it would appear logical to assume that the Frenchman may well look to once again call upon this formation following his appointment at West Brom.

And, although Reach was playing his football for a Sheffield Wednesday side who ultimately finished bottom of the Championship last term, the 28-year-old nevertheless demonstrated he possesses a significant amount of ability, while the left midfielder’s positional versatility could also solve something of a problem for the 45-year-old Albion manager.

Indeed, over his 44 Championship appearances for the Owls last season, the £2.52m-rated man scored five goals, registered three assists and created five big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of 1.3 shots and making 0.8 key passes per game.

The man Tony Pulis dubbed a “top player” also impressed in a defensive capacity, making an average of 0.9 interceptions, one tackle, one clearance and winning 2.8 duels per match.

These returns saw the £23k-per-week midfielder earn a seasonal SofaScore match rating of 6.82, ranking him as Darren Moore’s sixth-best performer in the second tier of English football.

As such, it would very much appear as if Reach would be capable of doing a job for West Brom, but, the exact job he may be asked to perform is what could make the former England U20 international an extremely astute piece of business by Ismael.

Indeed, with the Frenchman stating shortly after his arrival at the club that he doesn’t “need the most expensive player or the best player” but rather the “right player for the position,” Reach looks as if he could be something of a perfect candidate for the role as the 45-year-old’s left wing-back.

And, with only Conor Townsend in the Albion squad who is a natural left-back, it would very much seem as if Ismael will require far greater depth in the position over the course of an arduous Championship campaign.

So, all of the above would lead us to believe that the signing of Reach could solve one of the manager’s big issues at The Hawthorns ahead of next season, and, with the 28-year-old being available on a free transfer, he would also represent something of a bargain.

Ponting promises no mercy for Bangladesh

Michael Donaldson16-Sep-2002COLOMBO – Australian captain Ricky Ponting promises Australia won’t takethings easy against Bangladesh in Thursday’s Champions Trophy one-daycricket match here.With the near upset by Kenya earlier this month still a strong memory,Ponting said the world champion wouldn’t take too many risks in ashould-win match and would field its strongest team.”We’ll just be focusing on the things that we need to do to get up inthe next game against Bangladesh,” Ponting said.While admitting it would be “nice for us to get another solid hit underour belts before the semifinal” against Sri Lanka on Friday week,Ponting said there would be no repeat of the game against Kenya, whereGlenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie were rested and Matthew Hayden andDamien Martyn were shuffled so far down the order they didn’t get a bat.”We probably won’t do too much differently … but if the opportunitypresents itself during the game then we’ll think about it, if we thinkany guys need a a decent hit or a decent bowl.”Having thumped New Zealand by 164 runs in the opening pool one match,Ponting was asked what sort of a hiding his side could dish toinexperienced Bangladesh.”We’ll just have to wait and see – the next game will be a totallydifferent game,” Ponting said, before reminding people of the near-missagainst Kenya.”We had a very close game against Kenya over in Kenya just a few weeksago but as long as we play somewhere near our best we should do well.”Should Australia progress past Bangladesh, it will have a semifinalagainst Sri Lanka with a potential final looming against either SouthAfrica or India.It would be just the workout Australia would like with next year’s WorldCup in mind.New Zealand on the other hand, plays Bangladesh on Friday before headinghome to lick its wounds after being bundled out of the tournament asdefending champion.New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming asked for his side to be treatedleniently after the Kiwis suffered their biggest loss to Australia andthe second-biggest in their 413 one-day games.”Don’t starting talking about worst performances,” Fleming said.”This time we were outclassed, it was a bad performance but it doesn’tmean we’re a terrible side.”He said the return to the side of injured all-rounder Chris Cairns wouldbe a major boost ahead of the World Cup, as would the return of CraigMcMillan, who missed this tournament for safety reasons.”Chris Cairns is a big player who we were always going to miss,” hesaid.”He’s a quality all-rounder, a world class all-rounder. Missing himalters the balance of the side and takes away a maximum amount ofexperience, and it’s experience which wins big games and bigtournaments.”Still, it was a chance for the other guys to go through aninternational with Australia and they’ll learn some big lessons.”

PCB Chairman to continue after resignation not accepted

Press Release: PCB on non-acceptance of PCB Chairman’s resignation.

Pakistan Cricket Board15-Oct-2002President General Pervez Musharraf has not accepted the resignation of Lt Gen Tauqir Zia and has asked him to continue as Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Lt Gen Tauqir had tendered his resignation immediately after Pakistan lost the second cricket Test against Australia at Sharjah on Saturday.The President, who returned Tuesday morning from Turkey after attending the ECO meeting, held discussions with the PCB Chairman at the Army House, Rawalpindi, and expressed complete confidence in Lt Gen Tauqir Zia. General Musharraf told Lt Gen Tauqir Zia that he was the right man to guide Pakistan cricket through the current crisis.The President, in the meeting, appreciated that the present team comprised many youngsters who were talented but required proper motivation and guidance to perform at their peak.General Pervez Musharraf, though disappointed with Pakistan team’s performance in the second Test against Australia at Sharjah, hoped that it would recover from this shock defeat and would show its true mettle in the third Test.He wished Lt Gen Tauqir Zia and the Pakistan team well for the future series against Zimbabwe and South Africa, and the World Cup next year.Lt Gen Tauqir Zia, in a statement, said he was thankful to President General Musharraf for expressing confidence and trust in his abilities. “Now since the President has told me to continue, I can’t refuse him. He has shown the confidence and faith in me and I would continue to work with full enthusiasm and vigour as I have been doing in the past.”The PCB Chairman defended his decision to tender his resignation, saying: “It was not a rash decision but a well-thought one. If the Pakistan team plunged to its worst defeat, then I think someone has to take the responsibility and, I being the chairman of the PCB, had to stand up and accept the blame.”Lt Gen Tauqir Zia said he would now sit down and analyze the problem areas and act accordingly. “That might also lead to the ouster of some people, if required. I would continue to support the youngsters because I am a big fan of their abilities. But at the same time, I would like to see the senior boys to show self-discipline and stand up to realize their responsibilities and pay back to the country.”The PCB Chairman thanked all his well-wishers who urged him to continue. “I received very encouraging and morale-boosting response from the cricket circle in Pakistan. Internationally, ICC President Malcolm Gray, Indian cricket board chief Jaghmohan Dalimya, next ICC President Ehsan Mani, CBFS President Abdulrehman Bukhatir, chief executive Zahid Noorani and the ACC President either called or wrote to me individually and urged me to carry on as the head of the office.”SAMIUL HASAN

Hatfield: Villa will be confident about their Leon Bailey chances

Aston Villa will be confident about signing Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey this summer, journalist Luke Hatfield has told Football FanCast.

The MailOnline recently reported that the Midlands club have the 23-year-old firmly in their sights, with BILD reporting that the player’s father has confirmed talks between the two clubs.

Improving Villa’s attack has been a priority for manager Dean Smith in this transfer window, with the former Brentford boss signing Emiliano Buendia from Norwich City before making an unsuccessful move for Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe.

And now, with the Smith Rowe saga over, the Villa boss has moved on to Bailey as he looks to bolster his offensive options further.

For Hatfield, it is a deal he feels Villa will be confident about getting done. On the club’s pursuit of the player, the Express & Star journalist said:

“Villa will be very confident in themselves with any bid that they go in with. I don’t think there’s any bid that they put down where they think, ‘We’re not going to get this player.’

“I imagine they’re very confident with the bid which they’re going to try and put in. I don’t know whether they’ve put in a bid already, there’s some reports saying they have, some reports saying they’re considering one.

“But he’s clearly a player they like and they’ll be confident in trying to bring him to Villa Park.”

Villa fans will surely be delighted to hear the above because Bailey is a quality player and showed as much last season.

The Jamaica international had a very productive campaign, coming up with close to 30 goal contributions in all competitions for Leverkusen.

ماكمانامان: صفقة مانشستر سيتي ستحرم محمد صلاح من الحذاء الذهبي الموسم المقبل

لا يعتقد الإنجليزي ستيف ماكمانامان لاعب ليفربول ومانشستر سيتي السابق، أن محمد صلاح، جناح الريدز، سيتمكن من الفوز بالحذاء الذهبي في الموسم القادم، وخاصًة بعد تعاقد السكاي بلو مع صفقة جديدة قوية.

وتمكن صلاح في موسم 2021/2022 المُنتهي للتو، من الفوز بالحذاء الذهبي بعد أن سجل 23 هدفًا، مُناصفةٍ مع الكوري الجنوبي سون هيونج مين، مهاجم توتنهام هوتسبير.

وانضم النرويجي إيرلينج هالاند من بوروسيا دورتموند، إلى مانشستر سيتي بعد عامين ناجحين مع فريقه، سجّل خلالهما 135 هدفًا في 183 مباراة.

وقال ماكمانامان في تصريحات عبر “SPORTbible” البريطانية: “إذا كان هالاند لائقًا في الموسم القادم، أعتقد أنه يُمكن أن يكون رائعًا”.

وأضاف: “أعتقد أن أهداف ليفربول في الموسم القادم لن تنحصر على لاعب واحد فقط، إنهم يملكون خمسة مهاجمين وأعتقد أنه سيتم توزيع الأهداف عليهم جميعًا”.

وواصل: “قد يرحل أحد مُهاجمي ليفربول في العام المُقبل، لأنه لا يمكنك الاحتفاظ بخمسة مهاجمين سعداء”.

وأكمل: “أعتقد أن أهداف ليفربول سوف تتوزع على مهاجمي الفريق ولن يسجل لاعبًا واحدًا فقط أكبر عدد من الأهداف”.

وأتم تصريحاته قائلًا: “لذا أعتقد أن هالاند سوف يتفوق على كل مهاجمي ليفربول، إذا كان لديه موسم مثل لوكاكو، فسيكون ذلك صدمة كبيرة، ولكن الطريقة التي يلعب بها مانشستر سيتي، ستجعل هالاند ماكينة أهداف”.

Is this Celtic’s next Henrik Larsson?

174 league goals in just 217 outings for Celtic tell the quite incredible story of Henrik Larsson’s career in Glasgow.

The Swede is a certified Hoops legend, scoring goals on a remarkably frequent basis and leading them to four Premiership crowns and a UEFA Cup final.

Such success can’t be considered with the current Bhoys team, however. They were dumped out of Europe last week and were left chasing shadows domestically last term.

They could also lose their current top scorer, Odsonne Edouard.

The Frenchman has been linked with the exit door on a regular basis but is a proven finisher, someone who’s topped their scoring charts ever since he first walked through the doors of Lennoxtown.

That being said, he won’t be remembered as fondly as Larsson. He’s been criticised of downing tools this year as he aims for a Premier League move.

Who replaces him remains to be seen but they could find a bona fide Larsson replacement in Diego Costa.

The Spain international was touted with an eye-catching swoop to Paradise last week and if Postecoglou was able to bring him to Parkhead, he’d be an excellent signing.

Like Larsson proved throughout his career, he is an elite centre-forward, someone capable of dominating opponents and scaring defenders to death.

He is a Premier League winner and during his stay with Chelsea, he scored an impressive 58 goals in 120 matches.

He has also triumphed in Spanish football, just as Larsson did when at Barcelona. Costa left Atletico Madrid back in January following a second spell at the club, eventually netting 83 times in 216 outings.

The Brazilian-born striker might not have the charisma of the Celtic hero but his presence on the pitch is just as big, if not even greater. In the perfect words of Jose Mourinho, he is an “animal” when he turns out for his respective club.

Described as “outstanding” by Brendan Rodgers, the 32-year-old is someone who houses the ability to get supporters off their feet.

Larsson achieved that multiple times during his time in the famous green and white hoops but they have not found an attacking individual as marvellous as him since. The likes of Edouard and Moussa Dembele have pushed him hard but they are not in the same breath as the great Swede.

Costa, however, is a very different breed. He is their true Larsson heir.
