Nesta quinta-feira, foi realizado o sorteio da CBF que determinou os mandantes dos jogos que definem a final da Copa do Brasil. A alteração no regulamento da fase, que deixa de lado a regra do gol fora de casa. Assim, empate por qualquer placar e vitória com a mesma diferença de gols levam a decisão aos pênaltis. O técnico Mano Menezes comentou a decisão, mencionando as mudanças que serão feitas nas estratégias da organização dos times para as duas partidas da final.

– Nós sabemos que todo mundo que vai jogar fora de casa tem o objetivo de fazer um gol, e isso altera a disputa do jogo seguinte. Continuamos tentando fazer um gol fora de casa, com saldo simples, com o objetivo de vencer a partida, de fazer o resultado, ou no mínimo empatar. Mas muda, sem dúvida nenhuma, como estratégia – declarou o treinador celeste.

O sorteio determinou que o Flamengo será o mandante do primeiro jogo, que acontece às 21h45 do dia 7 de setembro, enquanto o Cruzeiro decide a taça no mesmo horário em Belo Horizonte, no dia 27 de setembro.

O treinador chega a sua segunda final de Copa do Brasil. Apesar disso, levou apenas um título para casa, em 2009, quando comandava o Corinthians. Antes disso, Mano esteve na final de 2008, mas perdeu para o Sport e chegou à semifinal com o 15 de Novembro, em 2004.

– Comecei cedo. A minha primeira Copa do Brasil disputei com o 15 de Novembro de Campo Bom-RS. Nós ficamos em terceiro na Copa do Brasil com o 15 de Novembro, que era quase um campeonato mundial em termos de conquistas. É torneio, é bom de você jogar, não precisa buscar subterfúgios para motivar os jogadores, a disputa está ali, o objetivo está ali na frente. Passados 180 minutos, alguém vai ser campeão. Então, é uma disputa diferente. E a gente se adapta bem a ela, e consegue fazer resultados importante – contou Mano Menezes.

Para conquistar uma vaga na final, o time mineiro passou por uma longa estrada. Deixou para trás o Volta Redonda-RJ, São Francisco-PA, Murici-AL, São Paulo, Chapecoense, Palmeiras e, na noite da última quarta-feira, eliminou o Grêmio na disputa de pênaltis. Durante o evento da CBF, o técnico exaltou a confiança que a equipe adquiriu no decorrer da Copa do Brasil.

– O jogo contra o São Paulo, o primeiro gigante que a gente pegou, foi importante. E, quando você enfrenta e passa por uma equipe com histórico de vencer e ser campeão como o São Paulo, a confiança interna aumenta – disse Mano.

According to The Mirror, the probable appointment of Antonio Conte as Tottenham manager is against Daniel Levy’s wishes, who has instead been ‘keen’ for Paulo Fonseca to take over.

The Lowdown: Conte’s arrival imminent

Nuno Espirito Santo was relieved of his duties at Spurs after Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Manchester United, the club’s fifth loss in seven Premier League matches (Sky Sports).

Conte is set to become the club’s next boss, expected to put pen to paper on an 18-month deal (via The Express).

The Italian maverick has of course already enjoyed major success in England with Chelsea and has a rather stunning list of accomplishments across his career, racking up five domestic league titles on the back of his famous three-at-the-back counter-attacking style.

The Latest: Levy keen on Fonseca

However, it seems Conte is not Levy’s favourite for the job.

The Mirror say that the Lilywhites chairman was ‘keen’ on a return for Fonseca, who almost made the move to north London in the summer, and it was only because of Fabio Paratici’s insistence that Conte became the priority. Scott Parker was also a name in the conversation.

The report does say that Spurs are still ‘poised’ to appoint the Italian however, so it doesn’t appear as though Levy’s wishes will obstruct what is an exciting move for the former Juventus gaffer.

The Verdict: Conte the obvious choice

With nine career trophies to his name, Fonseca impressed at Shakhtar Donetsk in particular, drawing massive praise out of Pep Guardiola when the Ukrainian outfit bested Manchester City in a Champions League group stage game back in 2018.

He then made the move to AS Roma and was even hailed as ‘similar to (Thomas) Tuchel’ by Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but was eventually replaced by Jose Mourinho.

However, the Portuguese does not have Conte’s pedigree. The Italian has won league titles with three different sides in major European leagues – Juventus, Inter Milan and Chelsea – and also managed the Italy national team.

He has therefore proven his ability at the highest level – as soon as it became clear he was available, he was surely the only man for the job if Spurs truly have any ambition of challenging for trophies.

In other news, Spurs make their move for this man.

After a month on the sidelines during the World Twenty20, Alastair Cook slipped back into the England set-up at Edgbaston

After a month on the sidelines during the World Twenty20, Alastair Cook slipped back into the England set-up at Edgbaston, and announced his readiness for next week’s first Test with a dour and diligent 124. But the rest of England’s anticipated Ashes line-up produced a performance as lop-sided as the chosen field of play, as they failed to capitalise on a 48-yard leg-side boundary, and skidded unceremoniously from 162 for 1 to 290 for 8 declared.By the close of the first day, James Anderson had extracted Ian Westwood for 2 to leave a second-string Warwickshire on 31 for 1 after 10 overs, but the declared intention of England’s captain, Andrew Strauss, to “hit the ground running” had developed something of a stumble after a confident first few strides.Aside from Cook, the only batsman who really got going was Ravi Bopara, who top-edged a pull to midwicket for 43 to end a second-wicket stand of 101. Thereafter England lost their next six wickets for 93, including the miscreant of the moment, Andrew Flintoff, who managed a frantic 19 from 17 balls before poking limply to second slip.Nevertheless, as far as Cook was concerned, the mere exercise of gathering the team together in the week building up to Cardiff was the most important aspect of a match he regarded as a friendly. “For the lads who’ve been playing a lot of Twenty20 cricket, it’s just nice to get the rhythm back for the four-day stuff,” he said. “You don’t feel guilty for leaving a ball, or for blocking an over or two. It’s nice just to relax and get into that change of mindset.”Even Cook himself had to do that. For a long time, his lack of muscle had been a source of much ribbing in the England dressing-room, with his only international six prior to this season coming from a top-edged pull in Wellington two winters ago. Last week for Essex, however, he cracked a 57-ball hundred against Surrey in the Twenty20 Cup, and the confidence that instilled in his cricket was fully on display today.”Runs are runs, but [that innings] proved to a few people, and to myself, that I can hit a few sixes,” he said. “I really enjoyed it, because although we were desperate to win, you have to be free to play like that.” Today, he wasn’t exactly cracking along at two runs a ball, but there was a surety to his stroke play that had been missing even during his last innings for England, his career-best 160 against West Indies at Chester-le-Street in May.”That day we beat the West Indies, everyone else was staying together and I was leaving that night to play for Essex,” Cook recalled. “It was a bit strange, and I didn’t like it to be honest. When you score 160 you want to carry on playing for England, but it seems a long time ago that I was [involved].”Warwickshire’s attack comprised an off-colour new-ball pairing of Chris Woakes and Boyd Rankin, and was backed up by the varying talents of Naqaash Tahir, who has yet to play a Championship fixture this season, and the former Rochdale striker Keith Barker, who switched to cricket last season having never scored a league goal, and finally gave his illustrious godfather, Clive Lloyd, something to be proud of when he bowled Paul Collingwood for his maiden first-class wicket.Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson this was not. Nor indeed was it the pumped-up combo of Steve Harmison and Graham Onions that the Aussies had to face 40 miles down the road at Worcester. And yet, when England’s wickets started to tumble, it might as well have been. After Andrew Strauss’s pre-lunch dismissal, caught on the drive for 31 having been dropped on 20 at third slip, Bopara sparked a mini-collapse when he under-estimated the leaping bounce that Rankin can get from the wicket, and spooned a simple catch to the 17-year-old Ateeq Javid, standing roughly where the Test pitch will be in a month’s time.Four overs later, and Kevin Pietersen had been and gone as well. His was a brief and fitful innings, eight balls long and one run deep, and it ended with a flat-footed poke to first slip. Cook was the next to go, well caught by Tim Ambrose, standing up to the medium pace of Jonathan Trott after picking off 21 fours from 190 balls, and when Collingwood was deceived on the back foot by one that kept a fraction low, England were 229 for 5, and starting to flounder.Flintoff emerged to the loudest cheer of the day from a 2000-strong crowd, and got off the mark with an unintentional steer for four through third man. He belted three more fours in an innings brimful with intent, and was also dropped at midwicket as he climbed into a ferocious heave through the leg-side. Before he had added to his 19 runs, however, he fell to an angled steer to give Tahir a deserved third wicket in the innings.Flintoff was not called upon to bowl in the ten overs before the close, as Strauss decided to leave Anderson and Stuart Broad to work off their red-ball rust in tandem. Long after the close, however, he was still out in the middle with Ottis Gibson, the bowling coach, working on his run-up and generally being seen to be putting in the hard yards.”He made a mistake, he said he’s sorry, we have to move on,” said Cook, after Flintoff was called upon to make a public apology to the team for his bus-missing gaffe in Ypres. “It was nice that he was honest, we could see the regret in his face for what he’s caused.” England as a collective, however, didn’t quite get their timekeeping up to scratch today.

A eliminação do Botafogo na Copa do Brasil, para o Flamengo, resultou em ressaca que foi logo curada após a vitória sobre o Bahia. Mas ela gerou também a pressão por mais sucesso do que o Glorioso já obteve na Copa Libertadores, até aqui. O volante Bruno Silva entende assim, mas não foge da raia e garante que os demais jogadores também não.

-A nossa responsabilidade aumentou. Sabemos disso e vamos assumi-la. Aqui não tem nenhum menino. O Grêmio também foi eliminado, as duas equipes vão querer passar à semifinal da Libertadores. Vai ser jogo difícil, contra um grande adversário – analisa.

Todavia, antes de encarar o Tricolor Gaúcho, o Botafogo terá o mesmo Rubro-Negro que lhe tirou da Copa do Brasil. Agora, a disputa será pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, e o volante prega a continuidade do pensamento jogo a jogo.

– Sabemos que a torcida está na euforia de Libertadores. Nós também estamos. Mas temos que saber separar, isso é lógico. E estamos bem tranquilos. Primeiro vamos pensar no Flamengo, pelo Brasileiro – explica Bruno Silva.

Speaking to Football Insider, pundit Paul Robinson, as also seen regularly on Sky Sports, has been left thrilled by West Ham United and transfer claims involving Jesse Lingard.

The Lowdown: West Ham back in…

It is no secret that Irons boss David Moyes was in favour of a permanent deal for the Manchester United ace after he impressed on a 2020/2021 West Ham loan spell.

Racking up nine goals and four assists in just 16 Premier League starts during the second half of last season, Lingard was apparently top of the Scotsman’s agenda.

However, the 28-year-old ended up rejecting a move to West Ham in favour of fighting for his place under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford.

Fast forward to November and Lingard is back to being a bit-part player in Manchester, opening the door for a potential return to West Ham.

Indeed, reliable reports from the likes of Eurosport and club insider ExWHUemployee claim West Ham could now tempt the England international in January.

A recruitment source has also told Football Insider that West Ham are set to join the race for his signature alongside Everton and Newcastle United.

The Latest: Robinson reacts…

Speaking to FI, former Premier League shot stopper Robinson has backed Lingard to be a would-be ‘massive signing’ for Moyes who would add ‘another dimension’ to his formidable West Ham team.

“It’d be a massive signing if they could get him back at West Ham,” he exclaimed.

“We saw a different Jesse Lingard to the one we are seeing now at Man United, he’s a bit-part player at the moment.

“Lingard at West Ham last season had the shackles off. He was enjoying his football and was on the brink of the Euros squad with England.

“They would be given a massive boost if they could get that deal over the line, especially with them challenging for the top four places.

“Sometimes teams can drop off and fall away up there but bringing in someone like Lingard would galvanise the fans.

“His quality in that three behind Antonio would just give them another dimension.

“It would be huge.”

The Verdict: Really necessary?

While Robinson may have a point that Lingard would add another degree of quality at the London Stadium, as evident by his head-turning loan spell, we believe West Ham’s priorities should now lie elsewhere.

talkSPORT pundit Adrian Durham waxed lyrical over the ‘absolutely phenomenal’ forward during his time under Moyes but the Hammers simply must be in the market for a natural centre-forward above other positions.

One injury to star man Michail Antonio could spell disaster for the club, even despite the presence of makeshift options like wingers Andriy Yarmolenko and Jarrod Bowen.

The Jamaica international’s worrying fitness record of past seasons is undoubtedly a concern and West Ham arguably have enough depth in attacking midfield.

Bowen, Manuel Lanzini, Nikola Vlasic, Said Benrahma and an in-form Pablo Fornals make up the numbers in that position whereas the Irons are bereft of out-and-out striker options.

Potential moves for the likes of Andrea Belotti or Adam Hlozek, who are both targets for the club, should certainly be prioritised over a return for Lingard at this point – even if United could sell for as low as £15 million according to The Sun.

A bullish Ricky Ponting believes enough positives were drawn from the third Test to suggest his side had finally turned the corner

Alex Brown at Edgbaston03-Aug-2009

Australia never seemed likely to erase their 1-0 series deficit at Edgbaston, but a bullish Ricky Ponting believes enough positives were drawn from the third Test to indicate his side had finally turned the corner ahead of the final two matches at Headingley and The Oval. The apparent deterioration of Andrew Flintoff’s knee, the revival of Mitchell Johnson and a stoic fifth-day batting performance have convinced Ponting that, despite an unconvincing first-innings performance, Australia are finding their rhythm after a month of frustration and disappointment.”I’m sort of feeling now that things today went a bit more to plan than they have at other times in the series,” Ponting said. “Some of the guys who missed out in the first couple of Tests got some results going their way, and that should probably put us in a good frame of mind going into the next game. Losing two days from this game and being in the position we were, could have developed into a really good game. It would have been hard to bat. We’ve done what I expected us to day today and we’ve kept England in the field for a full day, which is a really good thing for us.”Astonishingly, the tourists possess four of the five leading wicket-takers and five of the six leading run-scorers after three Tests, but have thus far fallen short in the key moments due to form, confidence, experience and team balance. Key to those failures have been the performances of Johnson who, after a horrid July, appeared to find some semblance of form during 21 straighter overs at Edgbaston.There is no overstating Johnson’s importance to Australia’s planning. Earmarked as the leader of a youthful pace attack prior to the tour, Johnson’s wilting in the Ashes spotlight was Australia’s single greatest area of concern after the first two Tests, and played a role in the move to drop Phillip Hughes for the more versatile Shane Watson after Lord’s.But after finding direction, swing and, until his last spell, a fuller length at Edgbaston, Ponting is confident Johnson would prove less of a liability and more of an asset at Headingley.”Mitchell was a different bowler altogether than he was the last couple of Tests,” Ponting said. “Not having the new ball might have made it easier for him, not running in trying to swing the new ball. That’s helped him, using him in slightly different ways. It was good to see him get another couple of wickets and look the bowler we know he can be. Hopefully he backs it up for another good game in Leeds.”Ponting was not the only player at Edgbaston to notice a marked improvement in Johnson. “Certainly when the ball was swinging he looked useful,” said Andrew Struass. . “He looked to be a bit more aggressive. It wasn’t a wicket for masses of short balls really but he did bowl a few and maybe as his rhythm came back a little bit more he was a bit more aggressive.”Australia, for the first time this series, will enter a Test match with a full complement of fast bowlers to choose from. Ponting hinted that Peter Siddle’s position in the Australian line-up could come under review, with Stuart Clark the bowler favoured to be drafted in if change is deemed necessary by the selectors.Brett Lee has bowled extensively in the nets since arriving in Birmingham, but Ponting would presumably be loath to risk him given he has not played a match since the tour match in Worcester prior to the first Test. Lee has struggled through recent Tests in Melbourne and the early stages of the 2008 tour of India with injury and illness, and he is unlikely to be exposed in the international arena before playing the tour match against Kent prior to The Oval Test.”The selectors and I have shown great faith in [the fast bowlers] because we know what they’re capable of,” Ponting said. “We’ve been waiting for some of their best bowling to come out. At different times in the series they have bowled particularly well. I’m really happy with what Mitchell has come out of the game. Siddle has a little bit of work left to do, but he was the one who had the initial breakthrough the other day. He is better to left-handers than to right-handers and [England] have two at the top, so there are lots of pluses for this group of bowlers at the moment. But we’ll keep and eye on Brett and we know what Clark is capable of. It is my job and the selectors’ to work out the best attack for Headingley.”Ponting was enthused by Australia’s second innings batting effort at Edgbaston, during which they limited England to just five wickets in 112.2 overs.”It’s great to see Mike Hussey get some real good quality time in the middle, certainly in the last three quarters of his innings he looked particularly good,” he said. “And Marcus [North] and Michael [Clarke] led the way with a terrific partnership.”I’ve always said about Australian teams that when we face the most adversity, generally we play our best cricket. I’m very confident that we’ve got a squad of players that if we play our best cricket we are going to be ultra competitive. When we have played anywhere near our best it’s been excellent cricket, we need to have longer periods of good cricket in our next game, then you’ll see a very competitive team.”

Australia turned in a clinical and collaborative bowling performance against the England Lions on Sunday

The Bulletin by Alex Brown at Canterbury16-Aug-2009Australia 340 for 9 dec (Watson 95, Hussey 65) beat England Lions 237 (Dalrymple 58, Lee 3-37) by 103 runs
ScorecardBrett Lee took three wickets but is an unlikely selection for The Oval•PA Photos

And, now, the selection headache. Australia turned in a clinical and collaborative bowling performance against the England Lions on Sunday, but with no individual radically advancing his cause, the make-up of the tourists’ line-up for the fifth Test will remain a mystery for several days yet.Brett Lee was statistically the best of the Australian bowlers in Canterbury, removing both openers and skittling Liam Plunkett later in the day for figures of 3 for 37 from 16 overs. It seems highly unlikely, however, that his performance will be enough to convince selectors to part ways with one of the four incumbent fast bowlers who propelled Australia to victory inside three days at Headingley last week.Lee, in his first competitive outing in six weeks, began inauspiciously on Saturday evening but increased in pace and intensity on the second morning. His endeavours were rewarded with the wickets of Joe Sayers and Stephen Moore before lunch – the latter to a brilliant, diving catch from Simon Katich at point – but Lee reserved his highlight-reel moment for Plunkett. Unleashing a fast, full delivery, Lee scythed through Plunkett’s defences to splay the stumps, then watched on as one of the bails was pilfered by a souvenir-seeking seagull and flown to a nearby roof. “We were trying to see if he was going to eat it,” Nathan Hauritz said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”Australia’s main selection battle ahead of the Oval Test – that which pitches Hauritz against Stuart Clark for the final bowling berth – remained unresolved on Sunday, with both proving more probing than prolific. Hauritz dismissed Andrew Gale and Steve Davies in consecutive deliveries after the lunch break, and Clark accounted for James Harris, Glamorgan’s teenage allrounder, later in the day, but neither could manage a definitive knockout blow in their bid to impress Andrew Hilditch’s panel.Hilditch intimated last week the Australians would lean towards their preferred three-quicks-one-spinner formation for the Ashes decider, although the final decision will be largely influenced by conditions. Clark could feel justifiably aggrieved if overlooked for the fifth Test given his major contribution to Australia’s innings-and-80-run victory at Headingley, and his solid outing in Canterbury. Steven Kirby incurred his wrath with three bouncers to the helmet, but Harris would be his only victim of the day, caught by Chris Hartley, Australia’s replacement wicketkeeper, in the 76th over of the innings.Potentially working in Clark’s favour ahead of the fifth Test were the performances of the part-time spinners, Katich and Marcus North, both of whom claimed a wicket and reaffirmed themselves as legitimate bowling options. Hauritz, though, remains Australia’s preferred choice, and did his selection chances no harm with 16 controlled overs.”Selection will come down to how the wicket is and what they think the best mix is,” Hauritz said. “It will just come down to how the conditions are. The wicket may still be dry and they might want to take four quicks. If picked, I know I’ll do my role well. Every time I’ve had the opportunity I’ve done that.”Every Test you play you learn more about yourself and what you can or can’t do. Before I came out I was labelled a defensive bowler who didn’t spin the ball. But I think I’ve shown on a spinning wicket what I can do. That defensive tag was weird but I can’t change people’s perception. I suppose that came about because I didn’t spin it that much when I first started. It doesn’t really faze me. I can also play a role even if it’s not spinning. I think I’ve done okay.”

أنعش لاعب وسط فريق ولفرهامبتون، روبن نيفيز، آمال نادي ليفربول في إمكانية الحصول على خدماته قبل نهاية موسم الانتقالات الصيفي الحالي.

أخبر النجم البرتغالي النادي في نهاية الموسم الماضي أنه يريد ترك النادي، لكن السعر الذي طلبه ولفرهامبتون – يعتقد أنه كان حوالي 70 مليون جنيه إسترليني – أوقف الخاطبين.

أصيب اللاعب البالغ من العمر 25 عامًا بخيبة أمل بسبب عدم الاهتمام بخدماته، مما أجبره على التفكير في قضاء موسم آخر في ويست ميدلاندز.

ينتهي عقد نيفيز في عام 2024، مما يعني أنه سيكون متاحًا بسعر معقول في الصيف المقبل.

لكن ليفربول معجب على المدى الطويل باللاعب المذكور، وقد تجدد الاهتمام به في اليومين الماضيين، بعدما اعترف مدرب الريدز يورجن كلوب بمدى حاجتهم إلى لاعب وسط جديد هذا الصيف.

يُعتقد أن أرسنال أيضًا حريص على وجود مايكل أرتيتا في السوق لتعزيز خط وسط الفريق.

وقال روبن نيفيز في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “مترو” الإنجليزية: “حسنًا، دعونا نرى ما سيحدث”.

وأضاف: “أحاول التركيز بنسبة 100 % على كرة القدم الخاصة بي، وقد بدأت بداية جيدة للموسم، لكننا بحاجة إلى النتائج الآن”.

وواصل: “إذا سألتني في نهاية الموسم الماضي كنت سأقول لك (سأرحل)، لكنني ما زلت هنا، لذلك لا نعرف أبدًا ما الذي سيحدث”.

واستمر: “من أكثر الأشياء التي أفتقدها هو دوري أبطال أوروبا، إنها أفضل بطولة في العالم للعب فيها، لذا دعونا نحاول تحقيق ذلك”.

Uma das apostas de Zé Ricardo para sua primeira partida no comando do Vasco, na vitória por 1 a 0 contra o Grêmio, foi a escalação de Escudero como volante, até por conta de desfalque no setor, já que Jean estava suspenso. No entanto, o meia não conseguiu executar tão bem o papel que o treinador planejava para ele. Além disso, o time perdeu em poder de marcação com o argentino atuando mais recuado.

Ao escalar Escudero, Zé Ricardo tinha na cabeça que o meia poderia auxiliar na ligação entre a defesa e o ataque, e assim ajudar mais Nenê na criação, algo que o Cruz-Maltino mais uma vez deixou a desejar. Porém, essa situação de jogo não conseguiu ser bem executada. Vale levar em consideração que foi o primeiro jogo em que o time atuou com o novo técnico.

É bom destacar que o argentino melhorou a qualidade de passe no meio-campo do Vasco. Dos 27 que ele executou, não errou nenhum. No entanto, ele ficou sem espaço para jogar mais adiantado e às vezes batia com Nenê no mesmo setor de campo. Durante a partida, Zé até pedia para os jogadores darem mais espaço para Escudero jogar. Então, pode ser algo que o treinador consiga resolver com mais treinos.

Em dados do site ‘Footstats’, o mapa de calor de Escudero mostra que o jogador ficou muito preso defensivamente pelo lado esquerdo. O gráfico mostra que ele pouco conseguiu chear para auxiliar o setor ofensivo da equipe.

Sem contribuir muito na questão ofensiva, como era a ideia de Zé Ricardo, Escudero também deixou a desejar na marcação. Com o argentino, o time vascaíno perdeu pegada no meio-campo e deu muito espaço para os jogadores do Grêmio trocarem passes. Para se ter ideia, o meia argentino conseguiu realizar apenas um desarme nos 69 minutos em que ficou em campo. Além disso, sem ter muito o cacoete para marcação, levou uma cartão amarelo ainda no primeiro tempo.

Agora, cabe a Zé corrigir os erros apresentados para fazer evoluir o esquema que pensa para o Vasco. Tempo ele vai ter para isso, já que mais uma vez o grupo terá a semana livre de jogos para treinar antes da partida contra o Corinthians, domingo, pelo Brasileirão.
