Análise: Botafogo mantém sua força como visitante e tenta ganhar fôlego na reta final do Brasileiro

MatériaMais Notícias

A torcida convive com as duas faces do Botafogo neste Brasileirão. A vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o Atlético-MG em pleno Mineirão manteve a equipe como uma das melhores visitantes da competição nacional. O Glorioso perde apenas para o campeão Palmeiras quando se trata de partidas longe de seus domínios.

Os comandados de Luís Castro conquistaram 31 pontos de seus 50 fora do Rio de Janeiro. Em 18 jogos, a equipe obteve nove vitórias, empatou quatro vezes e perdeu cinco partidas (um aproveitamento de 57,41%).

São 23 gols marcados e 21 sofridos. Além disto, o Alvinegro tem apresentado capacidade para criar jogadas (são 26 chances claras, segundo dados do Sofascore).

Porém, o triunfo que conseguiu segunda-feira (7) é simbólico por tudo que a equipe passou no Mineirão. O próprio técnico Luís Castro reconheceu que a etapa inicial foi aquém do esperado. O Atlético-MG enfileirou oportunidades, chegou a ter gol anulado e levou calafrios à zaga do Glorioso em alguns momentos.

A desorganização defensiva inicial assustou Gatito Fernández e, posteriormente, obrigou seu substituto Lucas Perri a se desdobrar. Só aos poucos, com os ajustes promovidos por Luís Castro, a equipe foi entrando nos eixos.

Luís Henrique e Victor Sá deram nova rotação ao Alvinegro. As brechas foram surgindo e, em um contra-ataque, a jogada de Tiquinho Soares culminou em um petardo de Victor Sá. Logo depois, Lucas Fernandes saiu do banco para cruzar a bola e encontrar Tiquinho Soares, que fez o segundo gol.

Nos três significativos pontos obtidos no Mineirão, fica o mérito de que o Botafogo é capaz de superar eventuais oscilações em campo e achar novos caminhos para derrotar adversários. Cabe ao técnico Luís Castro tornar este jogo um marco para a equipe consolidar sua vaga na Libertadores de 2023 e, agora, comprovar que tem condições de ir bem como mandante diante do Santos na quinta-feira (10) no Nilton Santos.

Bayliss to skip Sydney Thunder's BBL match against Adelaide Strikers for IPL auction

Trevor Bayliss, Sydney Thunder’s head coach, will miss his team’s Big Bash League fixture against Adelaide Strikers on Tuesday night in order to attend the IPL auction in Dubai on behalf of Punjab Kings.Bayliss travelled to India midway through the 2022-23 BBL in order to take part in last year’s auction, but his trip this year will see him miss a fixture in his role at home. Other coaches have previously left leagues in order to attend the IPL auction, such as Andy Flower in early 2022.Daniel Vettori, Australia’s assistant coach, flew to Dubai immediately after their Test victory over Pakistan in Perth to fulfil his duties as Sunrisers Hyderabad’s new coach, while Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting was not part of Channel 7’s commentary team on the fourth day. Justin Langer, Lucknow Super Giants’ new coach, delayed his travel until after the Test.Related

  • All you need to know about the IPL 2024 auction

But it is Bayliss’ absence from the dugout on Tuesday, and his choice to prioritise the auction for one league over a match involving his own team in another, that lays the IPL’s dominance bare.Bayliss became Thunder coach ahead of the 2021-22 BBL and has taken the team to the play-offs in both seasons that he has overseen so far. Thunder lost their opening match of the season to Brisbane Heat last week, and face the Strikers at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday.Shawn Bradstreet, Bayliss’ assistant, will deputise as interim head coach in his absence. Thunder said in a statement: “Bayliss is due to return for the Thunder’s clash against Melbourne Stars in Albury later this week.”Kings appointed Bayliss as coach in 2022 but he was unable to end their streak of failing to qualify for the IPL’s knockout stages, which has now lasted for nine successive seasons.Kings have INR 29.1 crore to spend at Tuesday’s auction, with space to add eight more players to their squad, of which two can be overseas signings. “We don’t think we need to strengthen up a whole heap,” Bayliss told Kings’ in-house channels.”But I suppose the possibility of strengthening in two or three areas we think will make us a stronger team next year… We want to play a positive, aggressive brand of cricket so we’re looking for players to come into those two or three spots with that type of mindset.”

Man Utd eyeing Nicolas Jackson as new striker! Chelsea forward considering future at Stamford Bridge with Red Devils potentially offering lifeline to Senegal star

Manchester United are weighing up a move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson in a bid to address their misfiring forward line.

Man Utd monitoring JacksonChelsea have signed two new strikersBlues not actively considering saleFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

According to , United are keeping an eye on Jackson's situation at Chelsea. The Senegal striker has seen two new faces arrive as competition for the striker role at Stamford Bridge and is said to be considering his future at the club. It is thought the Blues could consider cashing in on him if the right offer arrives this summer, with the Red Devils one interested party alongside the likes of AC Milan and Aston Villa.

Jackson has been Chelsea's starting striker for the past two seasons, returning 30 goals in 81 appearances in all competitions, but that hasn't stopped the west London side recruiting Liam Delap from Ipswich and Joao Pedro from Brighton to increase the options at Enzo Maresca's disposal. United, meanwhile, have struggled with Rasmus Hojlund up front, while Joshua Zirkzee ended his debut season with only seven goals in 49 matches.

DID YOU KNOW?

Chelsea are thought to value Jackson at around £100 million (€115.3 million/$133.8 million) and it'll be interesting to see if United decide to make an official approach at that price given how drawn-out the saga to sign Bryan Mbeumo has proved to be. Negotiations with Brentford are said to have reached a 'stand-off' with the Bees demanding more than what United gave Wolves for Matheus Cunha.

Jackson only made three appearances during Chelsea's Club World Cup triumph, being sent off against Flamengo before he was berated by Cole Palmer for shooting instead of passing during the semi-final victory over Fluminense. If he were to stay with the Blues, he'll have to battle both Delap and Pedro for a starting stop under Maresca.

Whiteman 137* guides Western Australia past South Australia

WA started shakily at 27 for 2 in a 280 chase before Whiteman and Bancroft steadied the ship with a 96-run partnership

Fast bowler Jhye Richardson recovered from a torrid start to complete a successful return from injury before stand-in captain Sam Whiteman’s first List A century guided Western Australia past South Australia in the Marsh Cup.Chasing 280 on a batting-friendly WACA surface, WA started shakily at 27 for 2 after losing openers Josh Philippe and Cooper Connolly to seamer Liam Scott. But their Shield openers Whiteman and Cameron Bancroft steadied the ship by playing calmly in a 96-run partnership.Coming off a rare subpar Shield match, Bancroft was reprieved on 10 when Daniel Drew dropped a sitter at first slip off Jordan Buckingham. He looked immovable from there and cruised to his half-century before falling lbw to legspinner Lloyd Pope shortly after.Pope then removed Hilton Cartwright, but Whiteman played fluently and reached 99 with a huge six onto the famous grassbanks before two balls later clinching his first List A ton in his 61st match.He hit the winning boundary with three balls remaining and was supported at the death by big-hitting Richardson, who smashed 25 off 16 balls. Richardson, who has played three Tests in an injury-plagued career, earlier took 1 for 63 from 10 overs in his second match of the season.”He’s super skillful. He’s had a frustrating time, so he’s pretty stoked to be playing,” Whiteman said of Richardson. “He’s also got some runs in him and took pressure off me at the end.”The winless Redbacks were shorthanded after quick Harry Conway was unable to bowl due to a back injury suffered while batting.Two-time defending champions WA moved to a 4-1 record as they jostle with Victoria at the top of the table.In warm and sunny conditions, the surface was hard and flat in a notable contrast to the grassy pitch used during last week’s low-scoring Sheffield Shield thriller between the teams.Cameron Bancroft and Sam Whiteman put up a 96-run stand•Getty Images

WA decided to bowl and all eyes were on luckless Richardson, who last month returned against Victoria in the Marsh Cup after a long stint on the sidelines following hamstring surgery. But he had another setback after subsequently suffering a dislocated shoulder in a second XI match for WA in Adelaide.Having made a successful recent comeback in Perth grade cricket, Richardson made a nervous start opening the bowling against aggressive Jake Fraser-McGurk, who last month smashed the world’s fastest List A century.Richardson started with five wides and his mood deteriorated further in his next over when Fraser-McGurk smashed him for two boundaries and two sixes in a 22-run over.Richardson was reeling after conceding 30 runs in his opening two overs, but Whiteman persisted with him. The gamble appeared to backfire when Fraser-McGurk whacked another boundary before Richardson repaid the faith on the next delivery by getting through his defences with a well-executed slower ball.After Fraser-McGurk’s whirlwind 31 off 15 balls, South Australia batted watchfully and were pinned down in the middle overs by Connolly’s accurate offspin. There have been big expectations over allrounder Connolly, 20, who burst into prominence after his heroics in last season’s BBL final.After impressing in WA’s opening two Marsh Cup matches, Connolly’s hopes of a Sheffield Shield debut were dashed when he suffered a toe injury after an accident on a boat.Hustling through his deliveries quickly, Connolly dismissed opener Henry Hunt and finished with 1 for 41 from 10 overs.Half-centuries from Drew and Nathan McSweeney kept South Australia on track for a score over 300. Drew’s dismissal in the 33rd over halted their momentum after he fell to debutant left-arm quick Liam Haskett, who performed well in three Sheffield Shield matches this season.But Scott hit a six off the last ball of the innings and he carried over the momentum with the ball before Whiteman took over in his second match captaining WA’s 50-over team.

India surge ahead through Rodrigues, Deepti and Ghosh

India overcame eight bowlers and batted 100 overs on an enthralling second day to lead Australia by 157 runs in the one-off Test in Mumbai. Determined fifties from Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, debutant Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma took the hosts to a mammoth 376 for 7, from the overnight score of 98 for 1, putting India in a commanding position.Offspinner Ashleigh Gardner’s accuracy and relentless bowling earned her four wickets on a surface that kept low and turned as the ball became old but otherwise, Australia toiled for wickets.Despite the lack of experience in playing Test cricket, Indian batters showed great technique and temperament built on solid defence. The hosts did suffer a mini-collapse in the second session, however, they recovered well in the final session to extend the lead.Related

An unbroken partnership of 102 for the eighth wicket between Deepti and Pooja Vastrakar suggested that it was a matter of hanging on for the batters to thrive and score runs in tangible terms.Mandhana, who was unbeaten on 43 on the first day, took her time to find boundaries in the morning and looked positive to convert her fifty to a big score. With the nightwatch Sneh Rana, she stitched 50 runs for the second wicket. Rana contributed 9 off 47 deliveries to frustrate the bowlers. Australia had their first breakthrough when Gardner cleaned Rana up after she missed a sweep, playing for the turn. Four overs later, a mix-up between Ghosh and Mandhana ended in the latter throwing her wicket away for 74. Her 106-ball knock consisted of 12 fours.Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh added 113 runs for the fourth wicket•BCCI

Once Mandhana departed, India had two crucial and big partnerships, one in the middle order and one lower down. Ghosh, who has been seen as a T20 specialist and is yet to become a regular in ODIs, made a mark by notching up a well-made 52 off 104 deliveries. She looked unhurried, putting the loose deliveries away and defending the good balls with confidence. She was also helped by Ellyse Perry’s drop at mid-off on 14. But after that, Ghosh looked set for her maiden fifty.She became one of the six players to have scored a fifty on debut since 2021.On the other end was Rodrigues, playing her second Test and making the most of the opportunity in whites. Having come in at 147 for 3, she accounted for 73 runs, hitting nine boundaries in her 121-ball stay.The two young batters played 187 deliveries to put on 113 runs that blunted Australia.Alyssa Healy, on her first tour as full-time Australia captain, tried almost all the bowlers in search of a wicket – left-arm spin, offspin, legspin, left-arm pace, right-arm pace – but no other bowler bowled such tight lines and troubled the batters like Gardner.Such was her consistency that Healy extracted 36 of the 100 overs that Australia bowled on Friday from her. Having bowled 41 overs overall, Gardner looked most threatening in the Australian attack to take a wicket every time she came in to bowl.Deepti Sharma was solid after India had lost some quick wickets•BCCI

Australia though fought back – briefly – with quick wickets when Ghosh fell to right-arm pacer Kim Garth while trying to go big after fifty. Gardner then added two wickets to her name, trapping Harmanpreet Kaur and Yastika Bhatia lbw before picking up the big wicket of Rodrigues just before tea. India lost 4 for 14 in 8.5 overs as they slipped to 276 for 7, with a lead of 57 after the second session.From there on, allrounders Vastrakar and Deepti showcased extraordinary game awareness to pile on more misery in the final session. When the ball was old and assisted spinners, the duo batted cautiously with patience aplenty for the first 20 overs. When the new ball was taken and the opportunities arose, they found boundaries with good technique.Deepti also looked more comfortable charging down the track to spinners when the new ball came into the picture. She kept the scorecard ticking to remain unbeaten on 70. This also meant she became the second woman with fifty-plus scores in each of their first four Tests after Australia’s Denise Emerson.Vastrakar, who played second fiddle, was mostly content to take singles in her 115-ball knock. The 100-run stand came up in 232 balls in the penultimate over of the day.

وأضاف: “نحن بالفعل في محادثات مع عدد من الأندية، لكن الدوري المصري ليس ضمن خطط اللاعب في الوقت الحالي، ربما في المستقبل يحدث ذلك، لكن اليوم، وفي سن الـ28، وهو في كامل لياقته وإمكاناته، لا يفكر آدم في هذه الوجهة”.

Jonassen studies Jadeja ahead of India Test challenge

The left-arm spinner is hoping to be part of the side for the Mumbai encounter next month

AAP16-Nov-2023Left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen has been studying master of the art Ravindra Jadeja closely ahead of Australia’s Test against India next month.India will host Australia from December 21 in Mumbai, for the first time in a Test on home soil since 1984, and the 31-year-old Jonassen is leaving no stone unturned in her quest to make the most of the opportunity.Jonassen was named for Australia – along with fellow spinners Ashleigh Gardner, Alana King and Georgia Wareham – in the squad for the three-format tour that will also include three ODIs and T20Is.Related

On Wednesday, Jonassen became the first player to pass 150 wickets in the WBBL, with her 4 for 20 for Brisbane Heat in the 53-run win over Hobart Hurricanes taking the veteran’s tally to 152.Indian left-armer Jadeja is a regular for India and Jonassen is a student of his wily ways.”Jadeja has just got incredible control of his pace into the same length. His ability to beat both sides of the bat is probably second to none,” Jonassen told AAP. “That is something I will be hoping to emulate myself when I can get over there to India. Hopefully I can have a few spells like he has had in his Test career.”I used to watch a lot of [former New Zealand spinner] Dan Vettori but in the current climate Jadeja is the bowler I look to. I have been watching him in the 50-over World Cup in India.”It is a bit different in the sense that [the men] bowl a bit quicker than we do but in some respects it is still very similar with what I am trying to execute and achieve.”Jonassen acknowledged competition for spinning spots on tour would be intense but is relishing the challenge”Whenever [selection] becomes official it is always exciting and always nice and I am really proud to be part of such an historic trip,” she said. “We have some really talented spinners in the squad and we are all going to be licking our lips to get the nod.”Ultimately the balance of the side will dictate that. We will keep a close eye on the India-England Test match that will be a week or so prior to ours at the same Mumbai venue. That will give us an idea of what conditions may be like for our game.”Jonassen had not taken a wicket in three WBBL games before the Hurricanes clash but found her rhythm and confidence in her best return of the season so far.”I was really clear about the role I wanted to play and the impact I wanted to have,” she said. “I haven’t felt like I have been bowling too badly, bar a couple of games. The wickets just weren’t necessarily there. This game…they were.”

Em meio a uma série de desfalques, o Corinthians tem um motivo para comemorar: o retorno do atacante Yuri Alberto contra o Goiás, neste sábado (29), em jogo remarcado da 32ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O atacante cumpriu suspensão na última rodada, contra o Fluminense, pois foi expulso durante o clássico contra o Santos, na semana passada.

Por sua vez, o zagueiro Balbuena e o meia Renato Augusto devem ser preservados neste fim de semana. A dupla apresentou problemas musculares durante o duelo contra o Flu e ambos foram substituídos antes do segundo tempo. O primeiro, teve dores na região posterior da coxa direita e foi substituído aos 33 minutos do primeiro tempo. Já o segundo, comunicou no vestiário que sentia desconforto e não retornou na etapa final.

Soma-se ao time de desfalques o meia Ramiro, que recebeu o terceiro cartão amarelo na última quarta-feira (26) e cumprirá suspensão automática. Outro que ficará fora é o atacante Adson, que se recupera de um problema muscular na coxa esquerda sofrido no jogo de volta da final da Copa do Brasil, contra o Flamengo, há duas semanas.

Maycon, que foi preservado do último compromisso corintiano, pode ser novidade contra o Goiás. O camisa 5 ficou afastado por mais de dois meses, entre julho e setembro, por conta de uma fratura em um dos dedos do pé. De volta aos gramados no início do mês, o atleta esteve presente em três jogos desde então, sendo somente um como titular, e está em processo cauteloso de retorno. Como não foi relacionado contra o Fluminense, a tendência é que ele fique pelo menos no banco neste fim de semana.

Com uma tendinite no joelho esquerdo, Xavier segue entregue ao departamento médico. No entanto, o volante tem contrato até o início do ano que vem e não faz mais parte dos planos do Timão. Já Junior Moraes faz um cronograma de recuperação física para voltar a jogar somente no ano que vem.

Com as ausências citadas, o provável time titular do Corinthians contra o Goiás é: Cássio; Fagner, Bruno Méndez (Robert Renan), Gil e Fábio Santos; Fausto Vera, Du Queiroz (Maycon) e Giuliano; Mateus Vital (Giovane), Yuri Alberto e Róger Guedes.
