O primeiro do ano
Contra o Santo André, Borja foi participativo, mas passou em branco. Diante do Botinha, a bola também passou com frequência pelo camisa 9, mas as jogadas não tinham sequência. Na primeira que teve, ele trabalhou com Willian e completou o cruzamento do camisa 29 para abrir o placar. É o 11º gol do colombiano em 45 partidas.

Começo ruim
O Palmeiras conseguiu abrir o placar no início do segundo tempo quando adiantou a marcação. Em um primeiro tempo mais lento, o Verdão apresentou muitas dificuldades. Diego, Dodô e Bruno Moraes tiveram boas oportunidades para o Botafogo-SP, mas apenas em uma delas Jailson teve de trabalhar. O principal problema foi no lado direito, com Marcos Rocha, que era uma boa opção de ataque, mas defensivamente sofreu. Isto foi algo corrigido por Roger Machado no intervalo.

Chance para testes
Assim como na estreia, Keno foi a primeira mudança de Roger. Mas em vez de tirar Dudu, como na quinta, o técnico colocou o velocista na vaga de Borja, testando um ataque mais móvel. No fim da partida, com eles e Willian, o time criou oportunidades perigosas, frente a frente com o goleiro Tiago Cardoso, mas não as finalizou bem.

Quase o fim do jejum
O último gol de falta no Palmeiras foi há quase dois anos: dia 28 de fevereiro de 2015, de Robinho, contra o Capivariano. A seca por pouco não acabou em Ribeirão: Lucas Lima, em seu último ato antes de sair da partida, acertou o travessão em boa cobrança. Não foi desta vez.

100% e 0%
Em um jogo mais controlado, o Verdão segue com 100% de aproveitamento neste início de competição, enquanto o Botafogo-SP não pontuou, já que na estreia perdeu para o Bragantino. Na quinta-feira, o time de Roger Machado tenta o terceiro triunfo seguido, contra o Red Bull, no Allianz Parque. O Botinha recebe o Grêmio Novorizontino.

مدرب البنك الأهلي: خطأ واحد تسبب في تعادلنا مع سموحة.. وينقصنا التركيز

أكد خالد جلال المدير الفني لنادي البنك الأهلي، أنه غير راضٍ عن نتيجة التعادل مع سموحة في اللقاء الذي أقيم اليوم الثلاثاء.

البنك الأهلي تعادل مع سموحة بهدف لكل فريق، في المباراة التي جمعتهما ضمن منافسات الجولة الثانية من عمر بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وقال جلال خلال في تصريحات عبر قناة “أون تايم سبورتس1”: “غير راض عن نتيجة مباراة اليوم، لأننا لدينا طموح في الدوري، لكن ظروف المباراة أجبرتنا على ذلك، بدأنا بضغط على الخصم لكن بعض اللاعبين لم يكونوا في مستواهم خلال الشوط الأول”.

وأضاف: “الخطأ الوحيد الذي ارتكبناه في المباراة جاء منه الهدف، لكن هذا لا يقلل من سموحة، هو فريق محترم وأهنئه على الفوز”.

وأتم: “كان ينقصنا التركيز وسنحت لنا فرص كثيرة أمام المرمى، لكن التركيز كان مفقودًا”.

يذكر أن البنك الأهلي يحتل المركز الثامن في ترتيب جدول الدوري من تعادلين في الجولتين الأولى والثانية أمام فاركو وسموحة علي الترتيب.

تير شتيجن بعد ثلاثية بايرن ميونخ: نتيجة مخيبة للآمال.. وعلينا التركيز في الدوري الإسباني

يتمنى حارس مرمى الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، مارك أندريه تير شتيجن، ألا يؤثر الخروج من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا عليهم في الدوري الإسباني وما تبقى من بطولات أخرى.

وخسر برشلونة أمام بايرن ميونخ بنتيجة 0-3 في ملعب “كامب نو” أمس، ولكن قبل بداية المباراة كان قد تم إقصاءه رسميًا من البطولة بعد فوز إنتر ميلان على فيكتوريا بلزن 4-0 على ملعب “جوسيبي مياتزا”.

وتحدث تير شتيجن عن وجهة نظره بعد المباراة في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الكتالونية، وقال: “لقد كانت نتيجة مخيبة للآمال، لكن يجب أن نستمر، من الناحية الذهنية، شعور غريب أن نلعب بدون أي احتمال للصعود”.

وأضاف: “لقد سجل بايرن ميونخ أهدافًا صعبت علينا مهمة المنافسة معهم خلال التسعين دقيقة، الآن سننتقد أنفسنا”.

وتابع: “اللاعبون هم أول من يريدون التطور والنجاح، الآن علينا أن نركز على الدوري نفكر في الدوري الأوروبي لاحقًا، سنكون مستعدين، الأهم أنه لا يؤثر علينا في الدوري الإسباني”.

واختتم: “الهدف دائمًا هو الاستمرار في دوري أبطال أوروبا، لكن لدينا فريقًا مختلفًا تمامًا عن الموسم الماضي، مع الكثير من الإمكانيات، لعبنا جيدًا في ميونخ ولكن لم نسجل وكذلك أمام إنتر ميلان، هدفنا هو الفوز أمام فالنسيا يوم السبت المقبل”.

Cape Cobras rule four-day game

The Cape Cobras took the SuperSport Series title but struggled in one-day cricket, while the Warriors had a limited-overs season to remember

There’s a funny feeling that hits the southern tip of Africa around the end of March every year. It’s when the sunshine is being filtered through a watery lens and the air thins out like a ragged, old blanket. To some, it’s merely the onset of autumn, to others it’s the end of the cricket season, and to the Cape Cobras, it’s the end of the season in which they won the SuperSport series but failed to renew their tickets to the Champions League.The Cobras won 60% of their first-class games, with two of their most comprehensive results coming in the final two weeks of the season. They beat the Dolphins by 10 wickets in the penultimate match, after racking up 477 for 8 in the first innings. Centuries by Andrew Puttick (180) and Stiaan van Zyl (157) set up the win, and Vernon Philander took six wickets in the match as the Dolphins were bowled out for 276 and 225.The following week, the Cobras tore through the Warriors to win by an innings and 117 runs and cement their place at the top of the table. Philander was again among the wickets, claiming 5 for 40 as the Warriors were bundled out for 110 in the first innings. Stiann van Zyl smashed an unbeaten 167, the mainstay of the Cobras’ 369. Robin Peterson’s five-wicket haul helped the Cobras bowl the Warriors out a second time, for 142.The Cobras took the main prize through some fine individual performances over the course of the season. Philander led the bowling with 45 wickets at 14.73, while Peterson was the most successful spinner in the competition, finishing with 30 wickets at an average of 23.50, which put him fifth on the overall standings. Van Zyl was their best batsman, scoring 696 runs at 58, with two centuries. It was a satisfying season for the men from the Cape from a four-day point of view, but not so in the limited-overs formats. They lost to the Warriors in the MTN40 semi-final and in the last four of the Pro20.The same cannot be said for the Eagles, who also featured in last year’s Champions League. They had a disappointing season all round. They failed to make the semi-finals of the Pro20 or the MTN40 and finished fourth in the SuperSport Series. The Bloemfontein-based franchise was under a new coach, Sarel Cilliers, and this season could well have been their teething period.However, they did have two soaring stars to be proud of: Rilee Rossouw topped the first-class batting stakes with 1189 runs at 66.05, including the fastest triple-century by a South African with 319 off 291 balls against the Titans. However, the innings came in defeat as the Eagles squeezed home by two wickets on the final day. His team-mate Dean Elgar also scored 1060 runs at a marginally higher average of 66.25 and slotted in neatly at number two on the table.Number three on the first-class averages belonged to Stephen Cook, the Lions batsman who broke the South African first-class record with 390 against the Warriors. For his franchise, the season was a welcome change from their usual position at the bottom of the table. They finished third in the SuperSport Series, despite only wining two matches. In fact, they lost double the number of matches they won but racked up 100.44 points, to sit in the middle of the pack. The MTN40 was forgettable for them as they finished last, but they surprised everyone when they reached the final of the Pro20.The internal problems of the one of the Lions’ mother unions, the Gauteng Cricket Board (GCB) have been more in the spotlight than their cricket, and they will hope that the off season will be used to sort out those issues. One of them is the legitimacy of the board and unless this is clarified it could have an impact on the hosting of Champions League matches later in the year by the GCB should South Africa be confirmed as the venue.The Titians, like the Eagles, were under a new coach in Chris van Noordwyk and failed to replicate the success of previous seasons. They were the defending champions of the SuperSport Series, where they ended second, and the MTN40, where they were knocked out by the Dolphins.That bit of success is really all the Dolphins had to smile about this season. Also under new management, that of ex-national coach Graham Ford, they finished last in both the SuperSport Series and the Pro20. They underwent a mid-season overhaul, in which the contracts of five senior players including HD Ackerman, Johann Louw and Andrew Hall were terminated with immediate effect. The franchise said it hoped to increase development substantially and produce a younger, more vibrant side for next season. They will be bolstered by the inclusion of Imran Tahir, who left the Titans to move to Durban.All five of the above franchises will have rebuilding to do in the winter months, with a mixed bag of results not separating any of them from the others in terms of dominance. Even the Cobras, who were the most consistent of the five, performance wise, slipped a rung or two on the ladder of cricketing supremacy in the franchise system.There’s one franchise that the winter chill may not feel so severe to and that’s the Warriors. They picked up their first and second trophies since the franchise system started. The Eastern Cape side established themselves as the best limited-overs unit in the country as they won both the 40-over and 20-over competitions.Colin Ingram was the top scorer in both, scoring 600 runs in the MTN40 and 283 in the Pro20 and Rusty Theron became feared for his death bowling abilities which were enough to earn him South Africa and IPL call-ups. The Warriors were not so successful in the SuperSport Series and finished second last, making it clear that they have work to do on the longer version of the game.

Meeting valid, no conflict of interest – Manohar

The war of words between the BCCI and Lalit Modi continues unabated with the board president Shashank Manohar rejecting Modi’s contention that the governing council meeting on April 26 would be invalid

Shashank Manohar: “If Modi and his relatives had a share in any of the franchises, he ought to have declared it”•AFP

The war of words between the BCCI and Lalit Modi continues unabated with the board president Shashank Manohar rejecting Modi’s contention that the governing council meeting on April 26 would be invalid. Manohar also sought to clarify the status of N Srinivasan, the board secretary who also owns the Chennai franchise, which according to Modi was a conflict of interest.”It is his view point, everybody is entitled to their viewpoint,” Manohar told PTI, in response to Modi’s contention that the meeting was unauthorised. “It is not a question of [whether or not Srinivasan is an] owner. He is not calling the meeting as an owner of a team, and in the board’s constitution, the secretary is the convenor of all meetings.”Manohar stated there was no question of conflict of interest between Srinivasan’s dual roles of a BCCI functionary and an IPL team owner. “Whether there is conflict of interest is not an issue because Srinivasan, when this issue had cropped up, had sought the permission of Sharad Pawar, who was the president of the board then [when the first round of IPL team auctions was conducted in 2008].”Pawar had granted him permission to bid and it is not Mr. Srinivasan who was bidding, it was India Cements [Srinivasan’s company that owns the Chennai franchise] which was bidding and after his bid was accepted, it was confirmed by the general body,” Manohar said.Manohar said that while BCCI was aware of the extent of Srinivasan’s involvement in the IPL, the same was not true in Modi’s case. “Srinivasan was a declared bidder. If Modi and his relatives had a share in any of the franchises, he ought to have declared it at the meeting. I was not a member of governing council then. He ought to have told everybody,” Manohar said.Modi, who was in Dubai when the BCCI called for the meeting, had asked for it to be pushed to May 1, in order to compile his documents and prepare his defence. There is intense speculation that the governing council is set to oust Modi in Monday’s meeting, irrespective of whether he attends it.

Romano reveals if Newcastle will sign Balotelli

We are now over two weeks into the transfer window and rather unsurprisingly, it has been a chaotic one for Newcastle United.

The reasons are clear; they are desperate for players to ensure Premier League survival and they are now famously known as the richest football club on earth.

What’s the word?

The Magpies have bolstered their squad with two marquee additions in recent weeks with Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood arriving.

However, there is still a considerable amount of work to be done, namely in bringing a centre-back to St James’ Park.

The club have failed in their efforts for Sven Botman while a deal is seemingly on the table for Diego Carlos.

It’s thought another striker is wanted by the club’s new Saudi owners and Newcastle’s recruitment team but a name who definitely won’t be joining has been revealed by transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.

He issued the following update on Twitter: “Rumours linking Mario Balotelli with a move to Newcastle in January are wide of the mark. ‘Fake news’ – comment from sources.”

Fans will be delighted

Although the Toon Army will be desperately craving new acquisitions between now and January 31st, the idea of Balotelli penning terms is unlikely to have been welcomed well by the club’s fanbase.

Of course, he is a hugely experienced character and is also someone who would add plenty of humour and character to the dressing room.

However, with Howe’s men engulfed in a severe relegation battle, winning just one game all term, the last thing you’d want to do is sign someone as controversial as Balotelli.

After all, the Italian is not a regular goalscorer anymore and he’s also now aged 31, past the peak of his powers.

The former Manchester City forward currently plays his football in Turkey for Adana Demirspor where he has found the net on eight occasions this term.

That isn’t a bad tally at all, but the fiery striker has failed not once but twice in English football, enduring a controversy-hit spell at City and then bagging just four strikes in 28 outings for Liverpool.

Right now, Howe needs a player capable of hitting the ground running, either boasting successful Premier League experience or being a player with elite potential – like Sevilla centre-back, Carlos.

As a consequence, Newcastle are right to swerve a move for the ex-Italy international this month and as a result of doing so, the St James’ faithful should be rather delighted with the decision making of Nick Hammond and co.

Celtic dealt Kyogo injury blow

Celtic have been dealt a late injury blow concerning Kyogo Furuhashi ahead of their upcoming Premiership clash on Monday evening.

What’s the latest?

According to a report by The Scottish Sun, the 26-year-old centre-forward, who suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury in Celtic’s 3-1 victory over St. Johnstone on Boxing Day, looks set to be ruled out of action until at least next month, missing tonight’s clash with Hibs as a result.

The report claims that the Japan international is a doubt for the Old Firm clash on February 2 – despite the fact that Ange Postecoglou claimed after the St. Johnstone win that the striker’s injury was “nothing major,” leading us to believe he could return after the break.

The report went on to state that Kyogo will not link up with the Japanese national team for their World Cup qualifiers against China on January 27 and Saudi Arabia on February 1 due to his fitness concerns, as well as revealing that the forward has not been training with Celtic upon their return to Lennoxtown after the winter break.

Postecoglou will be fuming

Considering just how important a part of the Celtic side Kyogo has become since his £4.6m move to Parkhead last summer, the news that the centre-forward looks set to miss the fixture against Hibernian, as well as a number of other extremely important games in the coming weeks, is sure to have left Postecoglu fuming.

Indeed, over his 14 Premiership outings so far this season, the £4.95m-rated man has already scored eight goals, registered two assists and created four big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of 2.1 shots and making 1.1 key passes per game.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/?post_type=web-story&p=664142″ title=”Check out the latest Celtic news!”]

These returns have seen the £18k-per-week striker average a SofaScore match rating of 7.03, ranking him as Postecoglou’s 11th-best performer in the top flight of Scottish football – of the players who remain in the Greek-Australian manager’s first-team squad.

The Japan international has also bagged a further two goals and three assists over his five Europa League appearances, three goals over his four Europa League qualifying fixtures and three goals in three games in the League Cup – taking his total to 16 goals and five assists over just 26 appearances for the Hoops.

As such, being without Kyogo for any extended period of time will undoubtedly come as a huge blow to Postecoglou and his side, who will need to keep the 26-year-old fit and firing over the second half of the season if Celtic are to have any chance of going on to reclaim their Scottish Premiership crown come next May.

Reunião para definir o futuro do volante Hudson é adiada

MatériaMais Notícias

A reunião que definirá a situação do volante Hudson, atualmente no Cruzeiro, acontecerá apenas na próxima segunda-feira (4), após o fim do Brasileirão. O encontro estava previsto para o meio desta semana, mas os representantes do atleta optaram por esperar o fim do campeonato nacional para iniciar as conversas. O jogador está emprestado pelo São Paulo ao Cruzeiro até o dia 31 de dezembro e os mineiros pretendem tê-lo em definitivo.

A ideia da diretoria da Raposa é oferecer 750 mil euros (R$ 2,9 milhões) por 25% dos direitos do jogador, que estão divididos em partes iguais entre o São Paulo e um grupo de investidores. O Cruzeiro pretende comprar metade da parte do Tricolor nesse mês e, futuramente, pretende negociar mais uma parcela desta porcentagem com os empresários que detêm parte dos direitos do volante.

Desta forma, caso a proposta seja aceita pela diretoria do São Paulo, mineiros paulistas teriam, cada 25% dos direitos de Hudson. O grupo de investidores permaneceria com 50% da fatia do volante, mas estariam dispostos a vender metade desta quantia para a Raposa em um futuro próximo.

Neste momento, o Cruzeiro não está disposto a ceder jogadores de seu elenco para facilitar a negociação. O São Paulo, por sua vez, ainda não se pronunciou sobre o negócio e espera uma reunião com os empresário de Hudson e os representantes da diretoria do Cruzeiro para definir seu posicionamento.

O volante está no Cruzeiro desde o início desta temporada. No fim do ano passado, assim que o técnico Rogério Ceni chegou ao Tricolor, o meio-campista foi envolvido em uma negociação pelo atacante Neilton. O ex-santista não engrenou com a camisa do São Paulo e foi devolvido à Raposa, que imediatamente o vendeu para o Vitória, da Bahia. Por sua vez, o meio-campista cresceu muito sob o comando de Mano Menezes e virou um dos principais jogadores do Cruzeiro ao longo da temporada.

Egídio e Arouca já não treinam; Moisés e Mayke saem mais cedo

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras trabalhou com o elenco reduzido no penúltimo treino de 2017 na Academia de Futebol. Zé Roberto, Egídio, Arouca, Felipe Melo, Edu Dracena, Borja e Róger Guedes, por variados motivos, não apareceram no gramado e serão desfalques na partida de domingo, contra o Atlético-PR, em Curitiba, na rodada final do Brasileirão.

Arouca foi liberado para viajar a Belo Horizonte e fazer exames no Atlético-MG, clube que deve defender na próxima temporada. Zé Roberto, que vai se aposentar, e Egídio, reforço do Cruzeiro para 2018, também já não compõem o grupo.

Felipe Melo e Edu Dracena estão suspensos e Borja passou por uma pequena cirurgia na região da virilha, enquanto Róger Guedes já não vem sendo relacionado há algumas partidas e deve ser negociado nesta janela.

Jean seguiu seu cronograma individualizado de atividades físicas e foi outro a não aparecer no campo, mas o clube não especificou se ele já está descartado para a última rodada.

Valentim comandou uma atividade em espaço reduzido, sem esboço da formação titular. O meia Moisés participou do início da atividade, mas logo pediu para deixar o treino. Ele está debilitado devido a uma indisposição estomacal e sentiu-se mal, mas deve viajar a Curitiba e jogar.

Mayke também saiu mais cedo do gramado. Neste caso, já estava programado, já que ele sofre há algumas semanas com dores no quadril. O lateral-direito é dúvida para a partida contra o Furacão.

Uma possível formação titular teria Fernando Prass, Fabiano, Mina, Luan e Michel Bastos; Thiago Santos, Tchê Tchê e Moisés; Dudu, Keno e Willian.
