Willian tenta recuperar posição de titular no segundo semestre

MatériaMais Notícias

O atacante Willian, que está em fase final de recuperação de uma cirurgia no ligamento do joelho direito, vai brigar para recuperar sua posição de titular no time do Palmeiras. O jogador ainda não atuou nesta temporada e retornou antes do restante do grupo para aprimorar sua forma física.

Na temporada passada, Bigode foi um dos principais jogadores do elenco campeão brasileiro, fazendo companhia a Dudu pelos lados do campo. Atualmente, ao camisa 7, atua ao lado de Zé Rafael, titular no lado direito do ataque alviverde.

Além de Zé Rafael, o Verdão ainda conta com Gustavo Scarpa. Também atuam na posição Carlos Eduardo e Felipe Pires, contratados para disputar esta temporada. No entanto, os novatos não conseguiram se firmar na equipe de Felipão.

Em 2018, além de Dudu e Willian abertos pelos lados, o treinador nunca abriu
mão de um centroavante, e Deyverson e Borja se revezavam no decorrer dos jogos do Verdão. Neste ano, caso Willian queira brigar pela vaga de centroavante, há, ainda, Arthur Cabral para exercer a função.

Na 'coragem', Botafogo visita o Goiás em busca da 1ª vitória fora do Rio

Assim que Eduardo Barroca se apresentou aos microfones pela primeira vez como técnico do Botafogo, não escondeu que o seu objetivo era, acima de tudo, resultados a curto prazo. O comandante tem alcançado o projetado e, neste domingo, às 16h (de Brasília), diante do Goiás, o Alvinegro vai em busca de sua primeira fora do Rio de Janeiro. O duelo será realizado no Serra Dourada, válido pela quinta rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro e terá transmissão em tempo real do LANCE!.

Na competição, o Botafogo soma nove pontos, em 12 possíveis, e já fala em focar na parte de cima de tabela, como tem caminhado nos três últimos jogos, encerrados com triunfos alvinegros. Barroca quer que os seus comandados sigam com “coragem” para vencer distante de seus aposentos.

– É uma oportunidade da gente poder quebrar isso, vencer o primeiro jogo fora do Rio. A gente tem uma necessidade grande de resultados a curto prazo, em cima disso que trabalho – comentou o técnico, emendando:

– Nossos bons resultados têm a ver com o que temos feito nos treinos. Vamos com coragem para buscar os três pontos.

Até este momento, o Botafogo só jogou uma vez fora do Rio, que foi diante do São Paulo, na estreia e justamente o único revés do time no Brasileirão. Para engatar a quarta vitória consecutiva e seguir em alta, o time de Barroca apostará no goleador Erik, criado no Esmeraldino, e em um novo esquema tático, agora com quatro meio-campistas – e sem Rodrigo Pimpão.

O Botafogo vai a campo com Gatito Fernández; Fernando, Carli, Gabriel e Jonathan; Bochecha, Alex Santana, João Paulo e Cícero; Erik e Diego Souza.

Sem entrar em contato com agente, Santos pode perder outra promessa

MatériaMais Notícias

O Santos está perto de perder o meia Giovanni, atleta do sub-17 do clube. O motivo é pelo Peixe sequer ter entrado em contato com os agentes do jogador para assinar seu primeiro contrato profissional. A ideia é rescindir o vínculo de formação.

Os agentes não ficaram satisfeitos ao ver o Santos renovando contratos com diversos atletas e deixando Giovanni ‘de lado’. No ano passado, por exemplo, o Peixe assinou o primeiro vínculo profissional com Kaio Jorge, Cadu e Ivonei Jr.
O contrato de formação do meia vai até 31 de janeiro de 2020.

Giovanni não treina com os demais jogadores da categoria desde segunda-feira, no CT Rei Pelé. Ainda sem acordo com o Santos, o estafe do jogador ouvirá propostas de outros clubes brasileiros.

O Santos acredita que não é possível ter a rescisão do contrato de formação sem o pagamento de uma indenização. Vale lembrar que, por ser o clube formador, o Peixe tem prioridade em assinar o primeiro vínculo profissional do atleta.

A mesma situação acontece com o zagueiro Kaique Rocha e o volante Sandry. Os dois não são procurados pela diretoria santista há dois meses. O Genoa-ITA, inclusive, já manifestou interesse no defensor do Peixe.

Can't take hundred away from me – Rogers

Last year, Chris Rogers was almost cut from Victoria’s contract list as the state looked to prepare future Test cricketers. At 34, Rogers did not appear to fit the bill. Now, Rogers is not only a Test cricketer again, five years after his one-off match against India, but he is a Test centurion. An Ashes centurion, no less. It is little wonder that Rogers was emotional when he reached triple figures at Chester-le-Street, nor when he was interviewed after play.At 35, he was the second-oldest man ever to score a maiden Test century for Australia. He did so with more than 20,000 first-class runs to his name. Rogers said the uncertainty of when, if ever, he would get another chance at Test cricket after he replaced the injured Matthew Hayden at the WACA in 2008 made his hundred all the more special.”After all this time you just don’t think that this opportunity is going to come up,” Rogers said. “I wanted to believe I was good enough but never knew. To get a hundred, that’s something that no one can take away from me, and I can tell my grandchildren about it now … if I have any.”That Rogers is even part of this Ashes side is a quirk of fate, for had the Australians still boasted the experience of Michael Hussey and Ricky Ponting as they hoped they would a year ago, he would not have been deemed such a necessity. It appeared that Rogers had missed the cut when the selectors used men like Phil Jaques, Phillip Hughes and Simon Katich over the past few years, but he refused to give up at first-class level.”There’s times when sides have been picked and I haven’t been in them and thought that that was my chance but it didn’t happen,” Rogers said. “Finally this opportunity has come along and I’ve really wanted to make the most of it and you can say that, but you’ve still got to go out and perform. It was my day today. There were so many things that went my way. You’ve just got to make the most of it and fortunately I did.”I’d always hoped so but it just felt like there was always one bloke in the way. It was those two [Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer] then it was Jaquesy, then it was Katich, then Phil, then Watto went and opened. It just felt like there was always one bloke in the way but I get to play cricket for a living and I set high standards. I’ve been happy to go along and perform as well as I can and hope for this one opportunity. Fortunately it has come along.”Not that triple figures was a certainty, as Rogers well knew having made 84 at Old Trafford last week. As he made his way through the nineties, he began to get edgy and he was stuck on 96 for 19 consecutive deliveries from Graeme Swann, scooping a couple of near catches into the leg side before sweeping a boundary to become Australia’s second centurion of the series.”I didn’t have a care in the world,” Rogers joked of his time on 96. “No, it was a nervous time. I got the score in the last game and thought that was maybe my opportunity and just got to the 90s and the England boys were saying ‘If you don’t get it now, you may never’. It was just a fantastic moment to finally get it.”It was emotional out there, that’s for sure. And it has been. Initially to get picked for Australia was amazing, but the nerves and the things that go with it … the Lord’s Test match, that was as low as I’ve been for a while, hearing the criticism coming in and feeling like you’ve let down your country. That hurts. To play well in the last Test and to back it up in this one means a lot to me.”

Valentim cogita escalar Galhardo e Bruno César juntos no meio

MatériaMais Notícias

O técnico do Vasco da Gama, Alberto Valentim, deu sinais que uma disputa por posição no meio campo da equipe pode não ser necessária. Após a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Fluminense, no Mané Garrincha, no último sábado, o treinador admitiu que pode escalar Thiago Galhardo e Bruno César juntos.

– Os dois jogarão juntos. Não tem nenhuma regra que impeça isso. Para nós vai ser muito importante.

Bruno César estrou contra a Portuguesa-RJ, na última quarta-feira, mas teve uma atuação discreta, no calor de quase 40 graus do estádio Moça Bonita, em Bangu. Contra o Flu, Bruno não entrou em campo, por questões táticas, segundo o treinador:

–O Bruno não entrou porque o Thiago (Galhardo) estava bem. Além disto, deixei o Marrony, porque a gente precisava dos contra-ataques.

Ponting 'totally for' rotations

Ricky Ponting has stated a most eloquent case for rotating Australia’s cricketers at appropriate times in a calendar that, he argues, is now impossible for any player to negotiate without a break.Citing his own decision to retire from Twenty20 Internationals as a personal form of workload management, Ponting said a series of indifferent displays against Sri Lanka should not be used as evidence of a failed policy. Instead, he reckoned that Cricket Australia may have to do more to educate broadcasters, sponsors and the public about what they were doing when resting the likes of Michael Clarke, David Warner and Matthew Wade.”The rotational thing… I’m totally for it,” Ponting told . “The thing we have to understand is that the people who are making these decisions are making them for the right reasons, and they’re making them for the betterment they think of the team and the betterment of individual players there and then at the time.”I made some decisions in my career, to retire from T20 cricket when I did, to be as fresh as I could be for every one-day game and every Test match I played. Some of the guys, or most of the guys, in this current team are playing all three forms of the game and IPL and Champions League. They’re playing a lot of cricket. So I can understand why the public would at some times be disappointed that our best players aren’t playing every game, but I really think it is impossible to expect that our best players do play every game.”Ponting cited the examples of other sports, the schedules of which cricket has only recently begun to reflect when T20 tournaments began to fill up the off-season periods traditionally used for rest and pre-season fitness training.”If you look at Manchester United or the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan probably didn’t start in every game the Chicago Bulls played, and Wayne Rooney and those guys don’t start, certainly don’t play every game Manchester United play,” Ponting said.”But I think an educational process should be put in place to let the sponsors, the people who are covering the game and the fans understand what’s actually going to happen before the day the team is announced.”Rather than railing at sports science invading the game, Ponting said that the greater amount of knowledge at the fingertips of coaches, selectors and CA management represented a step forward from the culture of “cricket fit” he had entered as a teenaged first-class debutant in 1992.”These days, it’s all about the athlete and everything that’s happening with sports science around the Australian cricket team is to try and get the best out of each one of our players,” Ponting said. “I know there’ll be arguments at the moment suggesting that what we’re doing is not working or we should go back to the way it was 10 or 15 years ago. But I’ve been around and seen it all and I think the track we’re on is definitely the right one.”We need to be giving every young player the best chance to be everything they can be and hopefully on Wednesday, you’ll see the boys bounce back; and when we get to India, you’ll see them play some great cricket there, and it’d be great to see the Test team win the Ashes back as well. If they do that, then a lot of the critics, a lot of the things being talked about around Australian cricket at the moment, will be silenced.”

Can Sri Lanka's batters deny South Africa a clean sweep?

Tabraiz Shamsi is one wicket away from 50 in T20Is

Andrew Fidel Fernando13-Sep-2021

Big picture

Sri Lanka’s batting order has one more chance this series. In both matches so far, they appeared barely competent – they were unable to hit enough boundaries, frequently struggled to rotate the strike, and often found the opposition’s spinners difficult to negotiate. On tracks they are supposed to be familiar with, Sri Lanka have batted as if they are the visiting team. Across the two matches, they have not managed a single top-flight T20 innings between the lot of them. Dinesh Chandimal’s 66 off 54 was a substantial knock, sure, but it required a host of batters playing more aggressively around him for it to have contributed to a team victory; it wasn’t a fantastic innings in isolation.For South Africa, this is essentially a pre-World-Cup training run. The series now won, they may be tempted to give their wider squad a run in this match. They will perhaps be pleased, too, if the pitch is another big turner, because it is possible that towards the end of the World Cup, the UAE will throw up such surfaces.South Africa’s batters have proved through the course of this tour that they can not only play the turning ball, but that they are adept at finding boundaries against the spinners, and are not daunted by mystery spin. Their quicks have developed excellent strategies on slow pitches too.

In the spotlight

He’s the vice-captain, he bowls handy offspin, and is a demon at slip, but is Dhananjaya de Silva worth his place in this T20 team? After 21 T20I innings, his strike rate is a woeful 109.01. He played two good innings against a severely depleted India side in July, but in neither of those innings was he required to score quickly. If he gets another game, he could do with an explosive innings.With all of 12 T20Is on his CV, Bjorn Fortuin is possibly bowling himself into a place in South Africa’s best World Cup XI. He’s opened the bowling in both matches, and done so well to keep the Sri Lanka opening batters quiet. In the second match, he not only took two wickets, he also went at just three runs an over – the most economical bowler in the match. Being a left-arm spinner he may have to now compete for his place with Keshav Maharaj, who has also been impressive. Another good spell, particularly in the Powerplay, could make his place safe, though.Dhananjaya de Silva is a demon at slip, but is he doing enough with the bat in T20Is?•AFP via Getty Images

Team news

Sri Lanka may think about dropping Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and bring Avishka Fernando back. They desperately need firepower in the middle order too, so perhaps Kamindu Mendis could get a game as well.Sri Lanka (possible): 1 Avishka Fernando, 2 Kusal Perera (wk), 3 Dinesh Chandimal, 4 Dhananjaya de Silva, 5 Kamindu Mendis, 6 Dasun Shanaka (capt), 7 Wanindu Hasaranga, 8 Chamika Karunaratne, 9 Dushmantha Chameera, 10 Maheesh Theekshana, 11 Praveen JayawickramaSouth Africa are free to experiment now. Perhaps they’ll rest Kagiso Rabada and bring Wiaan Mulder in.South Africa (possible): 1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Reeza Hendricks, 3 Aiden Markram, 4 Heinrich Klaasen, 5 Rassie van der Dussen, 6 Dwaine Pretorius, 7 Wiaan Mulder, 8 Keshav Maharaj (capt), 9 Bjorn Fortuin, 10 Anrich Nortje, 11 Tabraiz Shamsi

Pitch and conditions

It’s a Khettarama surface at the end of a tour – it’s probably going to turn. As there is often rain around in the evenings, an interruption or two is also possible.

Stats and trivia

  • South Africa have now won six T20Is in a row – two each against Sri Lanka, Ireland, and West Indies.
  • Tabraiz Shamsi needs one more wicket to get to 50 in T20 internationals. If he does it in this next match – his 42nd – he’ll be the third-fastest South Africa bowler to the milestone, behind Imran Tahir, who did it in 31, and Roelof van der Merwe (who also played for Netherlands), who did it in 40.
  • Sri Lanka have lost their last five matches against South Africa, last winning in August 2018.

Australia have been 'bullied' – Arthur

Shocked by the margin of Australia’s ODI series defeat to England, the coach Mickey Arthur has challenged the tourists to stand up to the bullying they have received so far in the final match at Old Trafford on Tuesday. In a stinging assessment of the one-day side, Arthur said there had been “something missing” for Australia in the 50-over format since he took over as coach last November, and stated the team had been too submissive in allowing England to sail to a decisive 3-0 series lead – inflicting the first loss of the captain Michael Clarke’s 15 months in charge – for the cost of just 11 wickets.Arthur gave the touring team a stern post-match address following the eight-wicket hiding suffered at Chester-le-Street, and followed it up by airing his concerns in public. While he did not question his players’ work-rate or desire to succeed, he was worried about the vast gap that had emerged between training displays and what they were then capable of in the middle. Arthur was at a loss to explain why the ODI team had battled over a period in which the Test side has gathered strength.”I think our Test team is really good, it’s really settled, it’s got that hard edge. The Twenty20 team, we haven’t really had that much time together, but the one-day team there’s just that something missing,” Arthur said. “I’ve said it all through our home summer, there’s just something missing. I’m not sure what it is. Is it character, is it ambition? I’m not sure – there’s just something clearly missing. I’ve challenged the players, I’ll always be honest and I’ll say it how it is. I’m really looking for a response.”I want to see a bit of mongrel come Tuesday, I really do. I think we’ve been a bit submissive this whole series. We’ve allowed [ourselves] to be bullied, and we’re better than that. I don’t think we’ve had a presence this series. I’m talking absolute presence when batters are out there, like the presence our Test team had against India – when we walked on that field there was body language, we were strong, we were decisive, there was that presence.”But we haven’t had that presence in our one-day side. We didn’t really get that presence in our one-day side through the international summer at home as well, and that’s something we’ve been fiddling with, trying to get. We just don’t seem to have the answers at the moment.”Since losing despite having the better of the conditions in the series opener at Lord’s, Australia have laboured under the weight of their own expectations. With each match the margin of defeat has only grown, making many of the tourists’ pre-series boasts look empty in the extreme. The most pointed of these was the prediction that England’s batting was on the thin side due to the selection of five bowlers. Having highlighted Tim Bresnan’s presence at No. 7 as a possible weakness, the tourists are yet to bowl at him.”When we won the toss in favourable conditions at Lord’s, I thought we bowled well. I’m certainly not having a go at any of the bowlers. I thought we bowled well,” Arthur said. “England just seemed to find a way though, you looked at the scoreboard and they were 0 for 60, it was bizarre. We felt as though we’d beaten the bat and were well on top, but you looked at the scoreboard and they were 0 for 60 in about the 18th over.”I guess in both disciplines we haven’t found that way, and that’s disappointing and worrying me a bit to be honest. I’m searching, I’m looking for those answers, I’m looking for that mongrel, looking for that guy who’s going to stand up and change the game. We’re looking for the guy who’s going to take responsibility and say ‘I’m the champ’, I want to change momentum in a game. We seem to be a little bit submissive – we haven’t stood up and we haven’t grasped an opportunity like England have.”We’ve spoken at length that if we can get them three down we’re towards Craig Kieswetter then we’re into Bresnan. Well, we’ve seen Kieswetter bat once at Lord’s and we haven’t seen Bresnan bat yet. And yet our batters, who are world class, seem to be getting out and put under the pump. Again, hats off to England, they’re outstanding, but they’re only doing the basics well. Cricket’s about basics – we’ve got to do the basics better, we’ve got to be nailing those basics. I want to see them nail the basics like we do in training. We don’t do it in the middle, and that’s my worry, that’s what I’m looking for.”A fourth defeat at Old Trafford would all but guarantee Australia’s loss of the world No. 1 ranking in the ODI format to the winner of the subsequent series between England and South Africa. The ceding of top spot would confirm the slide of the one-day team from the group of solid practitioners who held on to top spot through the years of decline experienced by the Test side, to the muddled team swept away by England in this series.”We’re a changing team as world No.1, and I’m not having a character assassination of our team at all,” Arthur said. “I’m looking for answers that are going to strengthen our team and lift our team again. It’s certainly not a character assassination of them. I know those guys are bursting a gut to go out and do well. For us as management it’s about finding that balance between their talent and performance, but somehow they are just not transforming that. That is what is perplexing me.”
