Valentim dá treino tático e escala titulares do Palmeiras na Academia

MatériaMais Notícias

Alberto Valentim comandou na manhã deste sábado um treino tático na Academia de Futebol, sem a presença de jornalistas. O técnico montou a escalação que deve começar a partida de segunda, contra o Cruzeiro, mas publicamente ainda mantém uma dúvida no meio-campo, já que a atividade foi fechada à imprensa. Para o confronto, ele não terá Bruno Henrique, suspenso.

A primeira parte do trabalho consistiu em um trabalho de posicionamento dos titulares, tanto para situações de jogo quanto para bolas paradas. Depois, o interino trouxe outra parte do grupo para enfrentar a primeira equipe em um coletivo.

Da escalação que venceu o Grêmio, no último domingo, apenas Bruno não poderá jogar – Jean é o principal candidato à vaga. O provável Palmeiras tem Fernando Prass, Mayke, Edu Dracena, Juninho e Egídio; Jean, Tchê Tchê e Moisés; Dudu, Keno e Borja.

Com 53 pontos, o Verdão é o vice-líder do Brasileiro, a seis do Corinthians, o primeiro colocado. A partida contra o Cruzeiro começará às 20h, no Allianz Parque. Até agora, 31 mil ingressos foram vendidos para o confronto da 31ª rodada do Brasileirão.

Injured Muralitharan may miss Twenty20s

Muttiah Muralitharan: Doubtful for the Twenty20s•AFP

Muttiah Muralitharan has expressed doubts over his participation in the two Twenty20s against India after damaging ligaments in his bowling hand.”I suffered the injury when I was playing football. I got hit and two ligaments are damaged in the fingers,” he said. “I was bowling with the injury the whole of yesterday [the third day’s play in Mumbai]. It will take a few days to recover. I am not sure whether I will be fit for the Twenty20s but I should be okay for the one-dayers.”The Sri Lankan team regularly indulge in a game of volley football after a day’s play as a means of keeping the team unity together. According to the manager Brendon Kuruppu, the players decide when to play it. “Especially when you come out on tours of this nature there is nothing the players can do once they get back to their hotel so they play a few games to keep the team unity together,” he said.Muralitharan, the highest wicket-taker in Tests and ODIs, injured the second and third fingers of his right hand during the on-going third Test but showed no discomfort while bowling 51 overs to take 4 for 195 runs during India’s innings.The two Twenty20s are scheduled to take place on December 9 in Nagpur and December 12 in Mohali. The five-match ODI series starts on December 15.

West Brom: Fans react to Guochuan Lai visit

West Brom shared images of controlling shareholder Guochuan Lai at the club’s training ground on Wednesday afternoon.

And, as to be expected, a number of Baggies fans were quick to flock to social media to give their thoughts to the club’s official Twitter post.

Lai hasn’t been present in the Midlands over the past three years, leaving the day-to-day running of the club to chief executive Xu Ke and chairman Li Piyue.

However, he made a shock appearance on Wednesday to meet the first-team squad and hold meetings with head coach Valerien Ismael and other staff members on his plans to take the club forward.

It is reported that he spoke with Ismael for 45 minutes, with the January transfer window one topic that was discussed. Lai isn’t expected to be present for the Baggies’ trip to Barnsley on Friday evening, though, and his appearance at the club’s training ground left many surprised.

This is what these West Brom supporters had to say in reply to the four images of Lai, with one ‘shocked’ and another labelling it as ‘interesting’.

Carille vê o Corinthians na pior fase, mas lista razões para crer em título

MatériaMais Notícias

Três vitórias, três empates e cinco derrotas no segundo turno derrubaram o aproveitamento do Corinthians e também sua vantagem na liderança do Campeonato Brasileiro. De 11 pontos à frente na metade da competição, hoje a equipe dirigida por Fábio Carille tem somente duas rodadas de vantagem em relação a Palmeiras e Santos, seus perseguidores mais diretos na tabela. Enquanto vê os rivais se aproximarem e o rendimento cair, o treinador tenta superar aquele que considera seu pior momento no comando da equipe.

– Sim (é o pior momento da carreira). Está sendo um ano de muitos aprendizados. Falando do ano, ele começou com desconfiança e eu não imaginava que seria desse jeito em sucesso e vitórias. Todas as 19 equipes do campeonato passaram por momentos difíceis, Chapecoense e Sport já lideraram, São Paulo subiu. Está sendo um momento de instabilidade, nada bom, mas estou muito confiante, acreditando sempre. Se tem uma pessoa que acreditou nesse grupo sou eu. Acredito muito. Ficamos chateados depois dos jogos, mas depois escutamos pessoas do futebol, técnicos, e um deles falou algo que me fortaleceu após o jogo contra o Botafogo: “Se alguém te falasse que você estaria na 30ª rodada com seis pontos de vantagem, você toparia?”. Claro! Temos que entender que o momento não é bom, mas a vantagem é excelente – sinalizou o treinador, sem dizer o nome do “guru” e ignorando, também, a possibilidade de se sentir pressionado pelos resultados.

-Não estou me sentindo pressionado porque sou consciente de tudo. As coisas ruins que aconteceram foram trabalhadas. É 50% responsabilidade do técnico e 50% dos jogadores.

Carille listou motivos para acreditar na conquista do título restando oito jogos para o fim do Campeonato Brasileiro. As principais razões passam pela correção de problemas que o Corinthians tem enfrentado, como o jejum de gols do ataque, a falta de concentração que gera erros de passes simples e a má fase da defesa. Veja as explicações do treinador para cada assunto:

Corrigir bola aérea defensiva: “Dos nossos últimos cinco gols sofridos três foram assim. Mas é algo que cobro muito. Então trabalhei ontem, trabalhei hoje e amanhã trabalho a parte ofensiva.Nenhuma equipe nos atropelou. Teve o lance do Cássio na área, que eu não vou fazer nunca mais. Depois é concentração, atenção e bolas paradas. O que me dá tranquilidade de cobrar, porque é trabalhado. Começamos a falar das jogadas da Ponte para prepará-los para a partida.”

Aumentar concentração: “É trabalhar, a comissão estar tranquila de ter passado todos os detalhes do adversário, você tem que saber com quem vai guerrear. E quanto mais conversa mais deixa os jogadores preparados, o que me dá tranquilidade para cobrar. Já tomamos gols que eu fiquei quieto, que me surpreenderam, mas o que trabalho eu tenho liberdade para cobrar.”

Detalhes ao longo da partida: “Tem que fazer por merecer a cada jogo. Ganhamos muitos jogos nos detalhes e agora estamos perdendo nos detalhes. Precisamos parar de tomar gols, que é a marca desse time, e aumentar nossa média de gols. Parte daí. E também as questões que decidem jogos, como bola parada.”

Reação dos jogadores à pressão: “Tem jogadores no grupo que já passaram por várias situações. Mas no grupo é o primeiro momento ruim. Individualmente cada um teve seus problemas, mas o grupo está sendo testado. Há uma questão de ansiedade, de decidir as coisas rápido, de ler a imprensa falando que já era campeão. Não tenho certeza se pilhar mais é bom ou ruim.”

Compactação retomada: “Isso não é físico. É a questão de erros de passe. Cobrei muito no Paulista, porque quando você sai para o jogo e começa a errar passe simples, o adversário monta em você. O jogo da Ponte vai depender disso. Se vier com Léo Gamalho não terá muita transição, se for Lucca, Sheik e Danilo é outro jogo.”

No fim da entrevista coletiva, o técnico do Corinthians foi questionado sobre as dificuldades na conquista do título do Brasileirão. Ao responder se a perda do título seria um vexame após o melhor primeiro turno da história da competição por pontos corridos, Carille se explicou:

-Eu falaria em vexame se deixasse de fazer algo. Não deixei de fazer algo em momento nenhum, vivo aqui 12 horas por dia, trabalho muito. Você às vezes fica chateado pelo resultado, mas trabalho. Essa palavra não existe para mim.

Cook and Collingwood set England platform

Alastair Cook produced a performance of limitless concentration and increasing authority to post his tenth Test century in his 50th appearance

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsAlastair Cook dug in for England to build a promising position•Associated Press

Alastair Cook produced a performance of immense concentration to post his tenth Test century in his 50th appearance, while Paul Collingwood built on his matchsaving heroics at Centurion with a five-hour 91, as England’s batsmen hauled their side into a position of authority on the third day of the Boxing Day Test at Kingsmead. By the close, Ian Bell had cashed in on the platform laid by his team-mates with an important 84-ball 55, an innings that may have lacked the pressure of the performances that preceded it, but nevertheless was invaluable in securing a healthy 43-run lead with two days of the Test to come.The mainstay of England’s performance, however, was Cook, who turned 25 on Christmas Day and celebrated with a timely performance in more ways than one. He resumed on 31 not out overnight, knowing that his performance was in the spotlight after a tally of two hundreds in the past two calendar years, but he gritted his teeth and bedded in for the long haul, grafting 11 fours in all from 263 balls, in a six-and-a-half-hour 118. He made light of the second-over dismissal of his overnight partner, Jonathan Trott, and ground out a solitary run from his first 37 deliveries of the day, a statistic that set the tone for an innings that was never pretty, but was never intended to be either.Only once did Cook come close to being dislodged, when – on 64 – he successfully overturned an appeal for a catch at short leg off the part-time spin of JP Duminy. Replays suggested, not entirely conclusively, that the deflection had come straight off the pad, but the speed and conviction with which Cook called for the second opinion suggested that justice had been served. Either side of that alarm he was discipline personified – not least against Makhaya Ntini, another player with a point to prove, with whom he played a day-long game of cat-and-mouse, leaving the ball religiously on line as Ntini’s natural angle carried all but a handful of deliveries straight across the off stump.In the final half-hour before lunch, Cook began to open his shoulders and go for his shots, cracking Paul Harris out of the attack with a brace of fours through the off-side, before rocking back in his stance to pull Morne Morkel through square leg. And later, on 88, he latched gleefully onto a wide long-hop from the increasingly lacklustre Harris to surge into the nineties for the first time since the Lord’s Test in July. Those moments aside, he dealt exclusively in pushes and deflections – including the nudge through midwicket that brought him three figures from 218 balls – as he relied on his mental strength to carry him and his team into a position from which England can still pile on the pressure in South Africa’s second innings.Cook’s partner for 45 overs, including the entire second session, was Collingwood, who came to the middle at 155 for 3 following the departure of Kevin Pietersen for 31, at a stage when England were still nearly 200 runs adrift of South Africa’s 343. But his calm accumulation staved off any immediate threat of a meltdown. Though neither batsman was especially easy on the eye, the rate at which they scored, at a shade over three an over, was perfectly respectable given that the halfway-mark of the match had only just been reached. Collingwood’s half-century came up with a trademark nurdle off the pads in the final over before the second new ball was due, but having negotiated that with minimum fuss, he nevertheless fell short of a well-deserved century. With half-an-hour of the day still remaining, he under-edged a cut off Duminy, and was caught behind for 91.Cook by this stage had finally been persuaded to have a rare dart outside off, as the hugely impressive Morkel came round the wicket to the left-hander, and cramped him for room as a low edge zipped through to Jacques Kallis at second slip. It was Morkel’s third scalp of the innings, having already dispatched Trott to a third-ball lifter in the second over of the day, as he located a Harmison-esque combination of height, pace and bounce, and allied that to an impeccable line and length. And while Cook departed to a well-deserved ovation, he knew deep down that he had once again failed to pay heed to the mantra of his mentor Graham Gooch. “Make it a daddy,” was Gooch’s advice to any young batsman who gets set, but of Cook’s 10 Test hundreds, only once has he exceeded 140.Kevin Pietersen has rarely had the same problem upon reaching three figures, but today he was guilty of an even worse crime, of getting out in the thirties. He had arrived at the crease to an unexpectedly polite reception from his former home crowd, and was his usual bristling self as he sought to dominate from the word go. But, having pummelled Kallis for a pair of cover-drives, he was once again unsettled by the humble spin of Harris. On 20, he received a massive let-off when Harris slid his third ball through at a sharper pace, only for Kallis at slip to drop a sitter as the ball skewed off a hasty defensive edge. But 11 runs later, he was nailed lbw while sizing up a sweep, and the wicket-to-wicket line and the lack of appreciable spin on the delivery meant that even he realised a referral would be futile.The final session of the day belonged to Bell, who shed the introspection that had wrecked his performance at Centurion, and responded to England’s requirements with a vital injection of urgency as they closed in on that first-innings lead. It could be argued that Bell was destined to be condemned either way – he has never yet made a Test century without another batsman doing likewise, and the ease of Cook and Collingwood’s performance showed that the pitch was true and that runs were there to be snaffled.Nevertheless, they still needed to be scored, and by racing along to 65-ball half-century, he showcased the full range of strokes that have made the purists purr since he was a 16-year-old prodigy. He deposited Harris over long-on for England’s only six of the day, and cashed in with five further fours, including a sweet cover-drive off Kallis. Only once was he properly troubled, right at the start of his innings, when Morkel worked up a frightening head of steam to push him back into the crease with a whistling bouncer, before rapping his pads with a full-length follow-up that was just sneaking over the stumps.But, in perhaps the most curious captaincy decision of the day, Smith instantly hauled Morkel out of the attack after that over, and instead threw the ball to the struggling Ntini, perhaps in the belief that Bell was already ripe for the plucking. It proved to be a bad move. Bell crashed Ntini’s first delivery through midwicket for four, and by the end of a chastising day, his figures were a troubling 0 for 79 off 20 overs. Come what may for the rest of this match, South Africa’s selectors already know they have a dilemma awaiting come the New Year Test at Newlands.

ExWHUemployee drops Lingard update

West Ham United have been dealt a potentially huge blow in their bid to bring Jesse Lingard to the London Stadium in the January transfer window.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a claim made by ExWHUemployee, who revealed in a recent post on The West Ham Way that, despite having featured sparingly for Manchester United so far this season, the 29-year-old attacking midfielder – who has been heavily linked with a move to East London – would like to remain at Old Trafford until the end of the season, when his current contract expires.

In his post, the insider unveiled a big twist:

Moyes will be furious

Considering just how impressive Lingard was after joining West Ham on a four-month loan deal last season, in addition to the fact that the Hammers attempted to sign the forward in the summer transfer window, the news that the England international looks increasingly unlikely to leave Manchester United this winter is sure to have left David Moyes furious.

Indeed, over his 16 Premier League appearances for West Ham last time out, the £19.8m-rated man scored nine goals, registered five assists and created three big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of 2.6 shots and making 1.1 key passes per game.

These returns saw the £75k-per-week attacking midfielder earn a seasonal SofaScore match rating of 7.19, ranking him as the Hammers’ best performer in the top flight of English football last time out.

However, despite his remarkable form at the London Stadium, Lingard has once again found his game time limited at Manchester United, featuring in just eight Premier League fixtures so far this season.

As such, the 29-year-old’s apparent decision to wait until the end of the season before making a decision on his future is a rather baffling one, as continuing to sit on the bench at Old Trafford will do nothing towards helping the forward secure a spot in Gareth Southgate World Cup squad for Qatar 2022.

However, with it appearing as if a move for Lingard is now off the table this January, Moyes has been left with no other option than to turn his focus in the transfer market elsewhere, an outcome that will undoubtedly be incredibly frustrating for the 58-year-old manager.

وأتم سيمون بشأن دفاع كارفاخال أمام كريستيانو رونالدو قائد البرتغال: “كارفاخال كان يدافع مثل الخنزير البري أمام كريستيانو”.

Rueda confirma volta de Juan, espera Diego e diz respeitar protestos da torcida

MatériaMais Notícias

O técnico Reinaldo Rueda confirmou que o Flamengo terá o retorno do experiente zagueiro Juan, de 38 anos, ao time titular na partida contra o Coritiba, nesta quinta-feira, no Couto Pereira, pelo Brasileirão. Já o meia Diego, que estava a serviço da Seleção Brasileira, viaja direto para Curitiba, sem treinar com o elenco, e será avaliado para saber se poderá começar jogando ou entrará no decorrer do jogo. O treinador rubro-negro concedeu uma entrevista coletiva nesta quarta-feira, após um protesto de torcedores na entrada do Ninho do Urubu, e disse entender as manifestações.

– Quando se chega numa instância dessas, em todas as culturas futebolísticas existe este tipo de cobrança. O torcedor tem todo o direito de fazer esta cobrança, mas é uma situação que só se pode resolver com trabalho em campo. Não valem as palavras, é preciso trabalhar melhor. Quando são protestos que se respeitam a integridade física das pessoas, se respeitam as vidas. Às vezes, vivemos numa guerra que não sabemos, não valorizamos um dano físico. É isso que temos de superar. É normal que haja cobrança quando não tem agressão física – opinou o colombiano.

Questionado se faria mais mudanças na equipe do que previsto – com a volta de Juan e, possivelmente, Diego – o treinador sinalizou uma negativa.

-Neste momento, precisamos ter equilíbrio, construir uma equipe é muito difícil. Fazer uma relação de 11 jogadores é muito fácil, mas entrosar é muito difícil. E quando estamos neste processo, com a pressão, dificuldades, temos que abraçar, respaldar a equipe para melhorar. Vamos tratar de não mudar muito, conservar um pouco o equilíbrio, não é fácil – disse o comandante.

Rueda lamentou o fato de não contar com jogadores importantes neste momento. O Flamengo está desfalcado de Réver, Guerrero, Berrío e Trauco. Ele voltou a falar sobre o alto investimento feito pelo clube no futebol nesta temporada. Foram gastos cerca de R$ 60 milhões em contratações.

-Investimento requer tempo. Alguns investimentos não puderam participar da Copa do Brasil. Quando os jogadores estão tomando forma, vem outro insucesso: perder seis jogadores em duas semanas. Isso não é desculpa, mas que equipe do Brasileirão perdeu seis jogadores? Juan, Réver, Trauco, Berrío, Guerrero, Diego… Seis jogadores com bom nível individual. Não tivemos sorte. Quando estamos recuperando um, sai outro. Seis jogadores é um buraco muito grande. Estamos numa situação em que assumimos as responsabilidades. Isso tem nos dificultado – ponderou.

A delegação rubro-negra viaja na tarde desta quarta para Curitiba.
