Herói do Majestoso, Balbuena diz que deve renovar com o Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

O zagueiro Balbuena, autor do gol da vitória do Corinthians no clássico deste sábado, contra o São Paulo, deu uma boa notícia para a torcida alvinegra depois do jogo: disse que não tem ofertas de outros clubes e que deve renovar seu contrato, que vence no fim deste ano. As negociações se arrastam desde o ano passado.

– Acho que vai ser isso (ficar). Só vou esperar meu empresário chegar para conversar. Eu não tenho proposta de nenhum outro lugar. Se tivesse, o Corinthians saberia. O Corinthians também não recebeu nada. Então é só acertar algumas coisas da renovação – disse o paraguaio.

No ano passado, o Corinthians ofereceu mais quatro anos de contrato a Balbuena, mas a renovação não saiu. Mantê-lo é uma das prioridades da diretoria neste início de temporada.

O defensor foi titular nos quatro jogos do Corinthians em 2018. Além de marcar no clássico, deixou seu gol na vitória sobre a Ferroviária no meio da semana.

Spurs: Antonio Conte must drop Davinson Sanchez

After a disappointing defeat in midweek, Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur side once again failed to stake a claim on a top-four place with another lacklustre performance on Sunday, with Spurs losing out 2-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Following the match, the 52-year-old manager admitted that, on current form, it will be a near-impossible task for Tottenham to qualify for Champions League football next season, stating: “When you lose two games at home and against Chelsea – for a team that wants to qualify for the Champions League, it’s impossible to happen.

“We know we have to fight to build something important with the situation but it’s important to know the situation. Maybe our fans shouldn’t be disappointed with the defeat – instead, they should try and push us and stay behind us.”

However, aside from Spurs fans getting behind their team, there are also a number of tangible changes that could be made on the part of the Italian which could help to improve Tottenham’s overall level of performance – one of which would undoubtedly be the dropping of Davinson Sanchez.

Sanchez must never play for Conte again

Having joined Spurs in what was a club-record £42m deal back in the summer of 2017, four and a half years on, the 25-year-old is not even one of the best centre-backs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, let alone “one of the best centre-backs in the world” – as Mauricio Pochettino had predicted the Colombia international would become.

Indeed, after making £27m-rated defender has since seen his game time generally become more limited with each passing season – featuring in just 18 league fixtures last term.

And, considering just how poor the £65k-per-week “liability” – in the words of Kenny Cunningham – has been in recent weeks, it is not difficult to see why Sanchez is not considered a nailed-on starter in North London.

Indeed, the Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick awarded the centre-back a four in his player ratings in the 3-2 loss against Southampton on Wednesday, writing that the 25-year-old was “desperately shaky,” produced “wobble after wobble” and was “dragged out of position for Saints’ first goal.”

The defender earned a similar review for his display against Wolves, once again being handed an extremely disappointing four in Kilpatrick’s ratings, with the journalist stating of the Colombian: “Lucky to keep his place after Wednesday’s horror-show against Southampton and no better here. What has Joe Rodon got to do to get a chance?”

As Kilpatrick suggests, after two performances that could well have cost his side dearly in the top-four race, it would appear an extremely sensible move for Conte to replace Sanchez with Rodon going forwards.

And, with the 25-year-old who Jamie O’Hara recently labelled “embarrassing” having been linked with a move away from the club last summer, should Rodon impress upon a potential step up to the first team, it would also seem a wise move for Spurs to finally cut their losses on the defender at the end of the season – as Sanchez has quite clearly proven that he is not of the standard required for Tottenham – leading us to believe the centre-back who Darren Bent claimed makes “mistake after mistake” must not play for Conte again.

Carter and Clarke damage Essex

Essex were indebted to tail-enders Bryce McGain and Tony Palladino for achieving some semblance of respectability in their County Championship battle against Warwickshire at Southend

Essex were indebted to tail-enders Bryce McGain and Tony Palladino for achieving some semblance of respectability in their County Championship battle against Warwickshire at Southend. Between them they were responsible for over a third of Essex’s total of 149 for 9 before rain in mid-afternoon washed out further play.Coming together at 91 for 8, Palladino and McGain added a valuable 43 before the Australian fell lbw to Rikki Clarke for 24 spanning 63 deliveries. Before the rain came Palladino, in his first Championship outing of the summer, had struck 31 that included five fours.The only other batsman to hold up Warwickshire for any length of time was Matt Walker who battled the way through 19 overs in making 29 from 56 balls. He was finally undone by Chris Woakes, another lbw victim, on a day when the visiting seam attack were the dominant force.Their ability to swing the ball proved the decisive factor as bottom-of-the-table Warwickshire enjoyed one of their more successful days in the field against opponents also struggling to preserve their First Division status.After Woakes trapped Mark Pettini lbw for a single with the 14th ball of the match, Neil Carter was to pile further misery on Essex with a devastating spell that brought him three wickets in the space of eight deliveries at a personal cost of two runs. Tom Westley edged to Darren Maddy in the slips, Jaik Mickleburgh was bowled and Ravi Bopara fell lbw for just a single.That left Essex 31 for 4 and three runs later captain James Foster was left regretting his decision to bat even more when he became another victim of Clarke. Clarke and Carter had so far picked up three for 26 and three for 48 respectively, while Woakes had figures of 2 for 39.The one bit of encouraging news for Essex is that Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria is likely to play in the Friends Provident Twenty20 finals day at the Rose Bowl on August 14. Kaneria has been axed from the Pakistan Test squad currently touring England and Essex are planning to re-register him for the remainder of the season. They are now seeking approval from the England and Wales Cricket Board.

Boa fase de Bruno Mendes supera 1ª passagem pelo Guarani

MatériaMais Notícias

Bruno Mendes voltou ao Guarani em 2017, depois de ter ganhado projeção nacional pelo Bugre em 2012. O dono da camisa 9 está deslanchando neste ano. No jogo do último sábado, o atacante marcou três vezes e comandou a virada do Guarani sobre o Sertãozinho, por 4 a 2.

Com média de um gol por jogo na segunda divisão do Campeonato Paulista, ele conseguiu, nesta temporada, superar o rendimento de sua primeira passagem pelo Guarani. Em 2012, Bruno Mendes fez seis gols em 23 jogos.

– É o meu recomeço. Quero ajudar o Bugre e colocá-lo no seu lugar de direito, que é a Série A1. Coloquei metas esse ano. Estamos criando identidade, brigando. Fico feliz por ajudar o Guarani com os três gols. Agora é buscar se consolidar no G-4 – disse o jogador, de 23 anos.

Bruno Mendes cogita, inclusive, que a boa fase é a melhor que já viveu em sua carreira. Confiante, o atacante quer dar sequência aos bons números.

– Pratiquei todos os fundamentos: direita, esquerda e cabeceio. Acredito que, comparando, é uma das melhores fases da minha carreira, igual no começo do Botafogo. Estou feliz aqui.

Bruno Mendes entrou de vez na disputa pela artilharia da Série A2. Com cinco gols, está atrás apenas de Everton, do XV de Piracicaba, com seis. Os dois estarão frente a frente na quarta-feira, quando Guarani e Nhô Quim se enfrentam no Brinco de Ouro, às 20h.

Palco ideal! Fla pode conquistar primeira taça em Cariacica

MatériaMais Notícias

Flamengo e Cariacica possuem uma conexão muito grande. O estádio Kleber Andrade costuma ser um palco que traz boas recordações para a torcida e para os jogadores do Fla. Porém, nunca viu uma taça ser levantada pelo clube. Esta pode ser a primeira vez. Neste domingo, diante do Boavista, às 17h (de Brasília), o Rubro-Negro decide a Taça Guanabara no Estado, para alegria da nação capixaba.

E a empolgação de jogar na cidade de Cariacica aumenta mais com a possibilidade da primeira conquista no local. Ao todo, o Flamengo soma 13 jogos no estádio – que foi considerado a casa do Fla em 2016 – com nove vitórias, dois empates e apenas duas derrotas. A última aconteceu na fatídica eliminação na Copa Sul-Americana, de 2016, quando perdeu para o modesto Palestino, por 2 a 1. Na ida, no Chile, o Fla tinha vencido por 1 a 0 e caiu no gol qualificado.

Jogando ainda diante de seus torcedores capixabas, o Rubro-Negro marcou 20 gols. No Espírito Santo, a torcida rubro-negra é considerada a maior – segundo as últimas pesquisas – e mesmo assim o estádio nunca viu um título ir para oa Gávea, direto de Cariacica. A 21ª Taça Guanabara da história do clube pode ser a privilegiada em fazer essa história.

O Flamengo entrou pela primeira vez no Kleber Andrade em 1995, pelo Brasileiro, e com derrota. O milionário time daquele ano caiu por 2 a 0 para o Cruzeiro. Depois atuou em 1996, aí pela Copa do Brasil, vencendo os donos da casa, o Linhares, por 1 a 0.

Quase 20 anos depois, o Rubro-Negro voltou a usar a sua casa. Foi diante da Desportiva, em um amistoso, em 2015, e goleada por 4 a 0. Em 2016, arrancou a sequência de sete vitórias consecutivas, sendo derrotado apenas par ao Palestino.

Acostumado com o Maior do Mundo – o Maracanã – o Flamengo pode fazer sua própria festa, pela primeira vez, em Cariacica. É isso que os capixabas esperam.

SEQUÊNCIA NÃO É BOA

Apesar de ter um ótimo retrospecto no Kleber Andrade, o Flamengo de uma sequência de três jogos sem vitórias em terras capixabas. Depois do revés, em 2016, para o Palestino (CHI), o Rubro-Negro voltou à Cariacica e empatou com o Fluminense, em 2017, pela Taça Rio, e empatou por 1 a 1.

Em seguida, pelas quartas de finais da Primeira Liga, o Fla voltou a empatar no estádio, pelo mesmo placar, e foi derrotado na disputa de pênaltis, pelo Paraná e foi eliminado da competição. O goleiro Alex Muralha foi considerado um dos grandes responsáveis pela eliminação.

Apesar de sentir-se à vontade no Espírito Santo, o técnico Paulo César Carpegiani vê o Kleber Andrade como estádio neutro, mesmo o rival Boavista, tendo pouquíssima torcida no Estado.

– Cariacica é um campo neutro para os dois. Alguns que já jogaram lá dizem que o gramado é excelente. Os dois vão sentir dificuldade – afirmou.

EVERTON É ATUAL ARTILHEIRO

Dos jogadores do elenco atual do Flamengo, Everton é o que mais vezes balançou as redes em Cariacica. O jogador é o único que soma dois gols, nesses 13 jogos no Espírito Santos. Fernandinho também possui dois, mas não está mais no clube.

Os gols do camisa 22 foram assinalados em 2016 na vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o América-MG, na Primeira Liga, e no mesmo ano, pela Sul-Americana, no triunfo por 3 a 1 sobre o Figueirense.

Dos que ainda estão no elenco, Everton Ribeiro, Willian Arão e Ederson já marcaram atuando em Cariacica.

Celtic must complete Scott transfer

Celtic have not found it difficult to find the back of the net this season having scored 78 goals in 33 SPFL games under Ange Postecoglou.

Despite this impressive feat, one figure at the Parkhead club that hasn’t been particularly prominent in an attacking sense is striker Albian Ajeti.

With 17 appearances to his name across all competitions, the 25-year-old has only been able to score three goals.

As well as his lack of regular goals, his performances in the league when he has been able to get on the pitch have been rather underwhelming.

The centre-forward is currently listed as the second-lowest rated Celtic player currently in Postecoglou’s squad that has started more than one league game according to WhoScored.

Looking ahead to the upcoming summer transfer window, it seems as though the Hoops may be looking to add some more attacking depth to their side, which could also push the misfiring Ajeti out of the club at the same time.

What’s the news?

According to a recent report from Ghana Web, Celtic are pushing for a summer transfer move to sign Bayern Munich youngster Christopher Scott.

With a total of 106 youth appearances to his name for Bayern and his previous club Bayer Leverkusen, the 19-year-old has scored 44 goals and provided 15 assists in the process.

This shows what a capable attacking figure he is and what he could potentially offer the Hoops if they sign him this summer.

The teenager has also made two senior appearances for the Bundesliga champions this season which came during the back end of last season.

Labelled as an “very aggressive accurate passer” by Bhoys Analytics, Scott is set to have his current contract at the German club run out in the summer.

With that in mind, if the Hoops can secure his signature on a free transfer and then give him regular minutes on the pitch, this could be a great bit of business from the Parkhead club.

Also, with Frank McAvennie claiming how “unbelievable” it is for the club to still be paying Ajeti his £18k-per-week wages, getting him out of Celtic Park and replacing him with a young attacking talent such as Scott could give the Hoops fans a lot to shout about.

David Hussey gives Victoria win in Super Over finish

Twenty20 was at its chaotic best – or worst, if you look at some of the shots played – in giving Champions League T20 its first Super Over, one that Victoria Bushrangers won emphatically

The Bulletin by Sidharth Monga18-Sep-2010
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were outFour wickets for Suresh Raina but Victoria had the last laugh•Associated Press

Twenty20 was at its chaotic best – or worst, looking at some of the shots played – in giving Champions League T20 its first Super Over, one that Victoria Bushrangers won emphatically to stay alive in the tournament.With 24 required off the last three overs, and David Hussey entrenched on 48, it looked like a cruise, but poor shot after poor shot gave Suresh Raina four wickets in the 18th and 20th overs. Hussey left the job unfinished, but came back to finish some with three sixes in the Super Over.Redemption seemed to be the theme of the night. R Ashwin, though, who bowled the Super Over for Chennai Super Kings, was left on his knees, all alone despite consolatory pats on his back. Doug Bollinger, not given the Super Over, was left an angry fast bowler, kicking the ground, mouthing off, sitting in the dressing room as opposed to the dugout. It was that kind of night.Emotions were completely in check, though, after Aaron Finch’s stunning 41 off 17 at the start of the chase. Victoria needed a straightforward 59 off 50 when Muttiah Muralitharan took two wickets in two balls. They were still in control with six wickets in hand when Raina began the 18th over. Madness was about to strike.Raina fielded the first ball, and went for a blind reverse-flick. Had he hit, he would have got Rob Quiney. Had he not tried, he wouldn’t have conceded the overthrow that brought Quiney on strike. Quiney, perhaps lured by the short leg-side boundary, went to pull a length ball, and lost his middle stump. John Hastings, hero of Victoria’s bowling effort, got stumped trying a massive slog as opposed to giving Hussey the strike. Twenty-one from 13. Still manageable.Bollinger, whom Finch had hit for 23 in his first two overs, bowled three perfect deliveries for three singles before getting Hussey to hit a slower ball straight to long-off. Game over? Peter Siddle didn’t think so. He backed away, and chipped Bollinger over extra cover, like a batsman would, to bring it down to 12 required off the last over.Raina was the man enjoying the tension. He was pulling out of deliveries and smiling, he was reverse-flicking and smiling, he was accepting gifts and smiling. He was the man to go to. Clint McKay, who had got Raina’s wicket with a superb slower ball earlier, dealt him another blow, nonchalantly swinging the first ball over long-off. Six off five, with three wickets in hand. Game over? Raina didn’t think so. The next ball stopped a touch, and Raina was smiling again after accepting a return catch.Dirk Nannes played along with the chaos theme, and hit the next ball straight down long-on’s lap. Siddle, who should have been given the strike, now made sure he crossed. He had earlier bowled an over of three waist-high full tosses, two of them deemed beamers, one of them hit way over third man. This was time for his redemption. Again, like a seasoned batsman, he made room and lofted the hat-trick ball over extra cover.Two off two. Last wicket standing. Mind games began. Raina pulled out of the next delivery. When he came into bowl again Siddle pulled out. Raina wasn’t blinking first, and refused to bowl the next time. Asad Rauf smiled, walked a few steps down the pitch, perhaps to move out of stumps mic’s range, and told Raina something.Raina let go this time, Siddle swung, got a bottom edge through to MS Dhoni, who saw Bryce McGain trying to steal one and lobbed the ball back to Raina. Raina had blinked. He wasn’t back at the stumps, and had to throw from halfway down the pitch. The overthrow cost the single that brought the scores level. One more mistake was to follow. McGain swung across the line of the last ball, and missed. Dhoni collected cleanly.Dhoni had earlier got Finch out by persisting with Ashwin, who was hit for 14 in the second over of the innings. He again went with Ashwin, ahead of Bollinger and Raina. Finch was there to face Ashwin, who bowled flat and fast, giving him little room. Hussey was brought on strike. This was time for the ultimate redemption. The captain should have finished it off earlier. He was going to do it now.Hussey just took half a step down the pitch and pulverised the first ball he faced out of St George’s Park. This six meant more than just six runs. The massiveness. The nonchalance. Ashwin knew Hussey could get him anytime. The carrom ball that had got Flinch was forgotten. The arm ball was forgotten. All that came out was flat and full, or flat and short, and went for 2, 2, 6, and 6.With 23 runs to defend in the Super Over, Victoria went to the master of slower balls, McKay, who didn’t need to do anything clever. McKay and Hastings, though, had to produce some of the best slower balls earlier in the night to keep the target to manageable proportions.M Vijay, with his 53-ball 73, had taken Chennai to 135 for 2 in 16 overs when Hastings and McKay intervened with three overs for 14 runs and the wickets of Vijay, Dhoni and S Anirudha. Both expertly bowled all three versions of the slower ball – offcutter, legcutter and bouncer – and Chennai and the shots, just like punctured balloons, went nowhere.If the slower ones had the sedative effect on Chennai, Finch shook them up harshly. McKay, Hastings and Finch would have thought they had done enough, but they were required again on a mad night.
