Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin shows he could have a valuable role this season

This article is part of Football FanCast’s In Numbers series, which takes a statistical look at performances, season-long form and reported transfer targets… 

Allan Saint-Maximin showed exactly what he has to offer Newcastle against West Ham on Saturday, though there is a sense that there is still work for him to do to become an all-round effective star.

It is fair to say that the Newcastle front-three have taken their time to gel this season. They still only have one league goal between them but there is a growing sense that they are starting to come together to produce match-winning moments for their team.

Having said that, all three of the Magpies’ goals on Saturday came as a result of set-pieces, though Saint-Maximin was guilty of missing two brilliant chances in the first half.

The winger has shown this term that his pace, like Miguel Almiron’s, will be an asset for his side this year, and if he can add the finishing touch then he will become a very effective outlet for Steve Bruce’s side.

In that sense it is a shame that he shares another trait with the Paraguay international – an inability to finish chances.

Played through in the first half by Jonjo Shelvey, he had all the time in the world to pick his spot, but Roberto matched his effort, and in a later chance he made the bewildering decision to pass across goal when he only had Felipe Anderson on the goal line to beat.

Despite that, it was an impressive showing from the 23-year-old, and if he produces such a display on a consistent basis then he will repay the £16.5m spent on him.

As per SofaScore, his dribbling is his best asset, and if given time and space on the flank he can be a thorn in the side of most teams.

He showed his ability to turn and run with the ball in a dangerous fashion for the goal against Manchester United a few weeks ago, so once he builds up an understanding with Joelinton and the midfield, he should start to produce in the final third.

Another aspect of his play which is likely to win over both fans and his manager is his tenacity, demonstrated by him winning seven out of the ten ground duels he faced against West Ham.

That is important to Bruce’s defensive style as it allows the Magpies to defend from the front, and if he can win the ball and attack the opposition then that could be a source of great strength for Newcastle.

The Frenchman seems to be getting better game by game and shows the confidence to take the game to the opponent in a direct style, and that means he could become very valuable as the season progresses, particularly if he improves his finishing.

São Paulo passa a vender ingressos a partir de R$ 10 em jogos no Morumbi

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo anunciou nesta quarta-feira a redução do preço dos ingressos em jogos no Morumbi. As entradas sairão por valores entre R$ 10 e R$ 140, em um programa que passa a valer a partir do próximo compromisso do time em casa, no dia 5, contra o Atlético-MG, pela quarta rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Os novos preços têm como objetivo retomar o ambiente criado no estádio no Brasileiro do ano passado, quando a torcida estabeleceu os maiores públicos do torneio em meio à luta do time contra o rebaixamento. Na última rodada, no empate diante do Bahia por 1 a 1, em 3 de dezembro, no jogo que marcou a despedida de Lugano, alguns ingressos poderiam ser adquiridos por R$ 1.

– No ano passado, as demonstrações de amor incondicional e comprometimento da torcida do São Paulo foram fundamentais para o desempenho de nossa equipe. Foi a voz das arquibancadas que ajudou nossos jogadores a entenderem que não estariam sozinhos, e foi pelos milhões de tricolores espalhados pelo mundo que eles jogaram – disse o Tricolor, em nota oficial.

A medida é também uma resposta às críticas dos torcedores, que se queixaram do aumento dos valores praticados nesta temporada. Com isso, na primeira rodada deste Brasileiro, pouco mais de 11 mil pessoas foram ao Morumbi ver a vitória do time misto por 1 a 0 sobre o Paraná – foi o menor público do São Paulo como mandante no Brasileiro desde 2016.

– Após um reajuste previsto dentro da política de responsabilidade financeira neste ano, a diretoria anuncia agora uma redução nos preços dos ingressos para jogos do São Paulo no Morumbi, para atender aos pedidos da torcida, maior patrimônio deste clube. Os preços serão os mesmos praticados durante o ano de 2017 no Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo. Mais importante que a renda de bilheteria é saber que nossa torcida continuará ao nosso lado nos duelos em casa, empurrando o time e repetindo espetáculos semelhantes aos do ano passado – indicou a nota oficial do clube.

Confira os novos valores que serão praticados no Morumbi:

Security not an issue – Lorgat

Haroon Lorgat, chief executive of the ICC, is confident that security in Bangladesh is up to the task of policing the country’s remaining World Cup games

Haroon Lorgat, chief executive of the ICC, is confident that security in Bangladesh is up to the task of policing the country’s remaining World Cup matches, despite the stoning of the West Indies team bus on Friday. “I am satisfied that the security is firm enough to withstand that sort of issue,” Lorgat said at a press conference in Chennai. “The police that were present there have made certain arrests.”Angry Bangladesh fans, whose team was bowled out for 58, the lowest total by a Full Member at a World Cup, threw stones at both team buses, cracking two of the West Indian team buses windows. None of the players were injured. Lorgat played down the incident, calling it “minor,” and explained why it was not as serious as had been originally reported. “It was a few individuals who threw pebbles at the bus, and they were pebbles.”Bangladesh has hosted three matches in the tournament so far, as well as the opening ceremony, and Friday was the first incident of any security breach. Bangladesh lost their tournament opener against India by 87 runs but there was no sign of aggression from the home fans after that. They had since leapfrogged the West Indies into eighth position on the ODI rankings, and the home crowd may have expected their team to beat the West Indies as proof of their loftier position. Lorgat thinks that may have caused the chaos. “It was, I guess, disappointed fans at the result of their home team being defeated so convincingly by the visitors.”England, who pulled out of a match in the 2003 World Cup against Zimbabwe because of security concerns, are the next team due to travel to Bangladesh. Netherlands and South Africa are also scheduled to play their group stages in Bangladesh and there were some rumours swirling that the teams may not want to go to the country and the matches would have to be moved. Lorgat stamped out any such possibility. “We have a very robust security plan in place and I am convinced that the tournament is going to continue as scheduled.”He did not rule out the possibility of moving games, but said that Friday’s incident was not enough to merit doing so. “We would not move a game lightly, but it is not something that we would discount. I don’t believe that particular incident justifies moving the game.” Bangladesh will host five more World Cup matches, including two quarter-finals.

Com gol relâmpago, Paysandu vence Ponte Preta e estreia bem na Série B

MatériaMais Notícias

O fator torcida afetou a equipe da Ponte Preta, que viu o Moisés Lucarelli com portões fechados. Assim, o Paysandu aproveitou a oportunidade e venceu a Macaca por 1 a 0, neste sábado, na estreia do Campeonato Brasileiro, da Série B. O atacante Cassiano, do Papão da Curuzu, foi quem balançou as redes logo aos 3 minutos da primeira etapa.

Com a vitória, o Paysandu chegou a primeira vitória na competição nacional e atingiu o sétimo lugar, com três pontos. A Macaca, por sua vez, amargou a décima sexta posição na tabela de classificação, sem somar.

GOL RELÂMPAGO
​Defesa da Ponte Preta se atrapalhou sozinha. Aos 3 minutos, Reynaldo errou domínio de bola na área, e o atacante do Paysandu, Cassiano se aproveitou do lance e chegou batendo com força. A bola morreu no fundo das redes: 1 a 0 Papão.

LÁ E CÁ
Depois da abertura do placar, o jogo ficou dinâmico, com poucas faltas e ritmo acelerado para os dois lados. As oportunidades de gol foram aparecendo para as equipes, que buscavam, com garra e vontade, fazer um bom jogo.

MUITOS ERROS
A Ponte parecia nervosa na estreia da Série B. No momento da reposição de bola, os zagueiros cometeram muitas falhas, o que proporcionou chances ao Paysandu, de ampliar o marcador.

BOLA DE OURO
Sempre atento na área, o atacante Cassiano recebeu a bola cara a cara com o goleiro Ivan, da Macaca. Mas o jogador do Papão perdeu a chance de balançar as redes pela segunda vez.

PRESSÃO
Ao final, a Macaca tentou furar o bloqueio da zaga paraense, mas não conseguiu tirar o zero do marcador. Papão saiu com três pontos de Campinas.

West Ham fans are buzzing for Michail Antonio’s return

The anticipation is already building for West Ham United’s match against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Both teams have been struggling this season, with the Hammers 16th and Spurs sitting 14th in the Premier League table.

The Hammers dropped a hint prior to the game that Michail Antonio may be available, after working his way back from the injury sustained in the Carabao Cup against Newport County:

The 29-year-old has missed nine games due to the injury, though this would be a great time for him to make a return to the lineup, particularly when the London rivalry and opportunity to end a 7 game winless run in all competitions is considered.

He is also the perfect man to make an impact in this specific fixture, having scored the winner in the final matchup at Upton Park and first at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A selection of Twitter reaction to the picture, including posts from hopeful West Ham fans, can be seen below:

Lanning drives Victoria to Twenty20 title

The teenager Meg Lanning starred with the bat and in the field to help Victoria clinch their second consecutive Twenty20 Cup in a thrilling final against their rivals New South Wales. Victoria posted a strong total of 5 for 161 but after Leah Poulton’s powerful 76 in the chase, the Breakers found themselves in with a chance, with the equation coming down to 20 needed from 10 balls.But despite a six hit in the final over by Kara Sutherland, Victoria’s veteran fast bowler Clea Smith held her nerve to send down a yorker with the last ball, when the Breakers required six more for victory. It meant back-to-back titles for the Spirit, who won the inaugural event last year, and they had the 18-year-old Lanning to thank.She starred with 74 from 56 deliveries at the top of the order, batting superbly until she was deftly stumped by Alyssa Healy off the bowling of Sharon Millanta (2 for 29). A couple of late sixes from Victoria’s captain Rachael Haynes, who made 15 from seven balls, ensured a healthy target, but it wasn’t all plain sailing for the Spirit as Poulton chased hard.She struck two sixes and nine fours in her 76 from 45 balls and despite losing partners all around her, she seemed set to guide the Breakers home when she fell with the score at 5 for 126 in the 16th over. Fittingly, it was Lanning who took an outstanding catch to remove Poulton off the bowling of Briana Binch, and from there it was all uphill for New South Wales.Haynes brought herself on late in the innings and collected two vital wickets, and there were also two run-outs as desperation set in for the Breakers. “We were lucky to get Leah out in the end there and it turned the game for us,” Haynes said. “Both teams are extremely talented and there’s a lot of depth in women’s cricket at the moment.”

David Braz completa 200 jogos pelo Santos: 'Sacrifício e muito orgulho'

MatériaMais Notícias

O zagueiro David Braz completou na última quinta-feira, em Quilmes, na Argentina, 200 jogos com a camisa do Santos. Orgulhoso da expressiva marcada, o beque publicou em seu Instagram um longo texto agradecendo ao clube alvinegro e relembrando seu começo difícil. O camisa 14 é um dos líderes do atual elenco e tem contrato com o Peixe até dezembro de 2019.

– Tive a honra sem igual de completar a marca de 200 jogos com a camisa do Santos. Só tenho a agradecer a Deus por ter me conduzido e me proporcionado esse momento tão maravilhoso e ímpar. Todos que acompanham a minha carreira sabem que tive um início difícil aqui, mas com muita luta, sacrifício, fé, trabalho, perseverança e ajuda de pessoas especiais, consegui meu espaço na história desse clube, que aprendi a amar e que será sempre uma das coisas mais importantes da minha vida. Tenho muito prazer em representar o Santos e tento sempre transparecer isso, seja no campo, lutando para ganhar cada dividida, cada palmo de grama, ou fora dele, garantindo os interesses do clube seja onde for. Se falarem de mim, que lembrem do Santos. Se falarem do Santos, que lembrem de mim. É isso que desejo – escreveu o jogador.

Braz chegou ao Santos em 2012, mas, depois de lesão e sem espaço no elenco, acabou emprestado pelo Vitória. Quando retornou ao clube, em 2014, ganhou mais oportunidades e, aos poucos, foi crescendo dentro do clube. No ano seguinte, teve seu contrato prorrogado por quatro temporadas. No Peixe, já conquistou a Recopa Sul-Americana, em 2012, e dois Campeonatos Paulista, em 2015 e 2016.

– Obrigado ao torcedor santista e a cada um que fez ou ainda faz parte da minha trajetória, jogadores, treinadores, funcionários, família e amigos. Se não fosse a ajuda e a força de vocês, nada disso seria possível. Que venham mais alegrias e mais conquistas. Que os 200 possam se tornar 400 e que eu possa escrever mais e mais capítulos de felicidade nessa jornada. Obrigada por tudo, Santos! – finalizou o beque.

Desde a temporada passada, Braz é titular absoluto da zaga alvinegra ao lado de Lucas Veríssimo. Gustavo Henrique, Luiz Felipe, Robson Bambu e Matheus Guedes são as outras opções para o setor.
