Ceni cita vantagem em calendário contra o Corinthians no passado e diz: 'Somos São Paulo, temos que superar'

MatériaMais Notícias

Com pouco tempo de descanso após clássico contra a Portuguesa, o São Paulo começa a pensar no próximo desafio: o duelo com o Corinthians, que acontece neste domingo (29). Mesmo que o Majestoso seja disputado em casa, o Tricolor tem uma certa desvantagem em comparação ao grande rival. Porém, para Rogério Ceni, este foi um ‘benefício’ que o clube do Morumbi já teve.

O último jogo do Corinthians neste Campeonato Paulista aconteceu na terça-feira (24), contra o Guarani. Ou seja, o clube alvinegro terá mais que o dobro de dias para se preparar antes do clássico com o Tricolor. Tanto o presidente Julio Casares quanto Rogério Ceni comentaram sobre esta questão envolvendo calendário e enfatizaram como este ponto pode afetar o São Paulo.

Segundo o dirigente, em entrevista à ‘Rádio Bandeirantes’, o São Paulo está em uma situação mais complicada justamente pela sequência de clássicos recentes que enfrentou. Nas últimas rodadas pelo Paulistão, jogou com o Palmeiras, a Portuguesa e agora terá o Corinthians pela frente. Entretanto, Casares destacou o plantel tricolor e afirmou que será possível ter alternativas de troca no elenco.

Isso foi visto no clássico com a Lusa, onde nomes como Calleri foram poupados e ficaram no banco de reservas. De acordo com o dirigente, o calendário precisa pensar melhor quando envolve clássicos.

– O São Paulo pegou dois clássicos, é vida dura. Mas temos um plantel bom, com alternativa de troca. Temos que olhar para frente. O calendário tem que prever mais folga nos clássicos, domingo a gente deve ter 50 mil pessoas. Ano passado batemos recorde de público como mandante – disse Julio Casares.

Rogério Ceni falou sobre o cansaço dos jogadores, mas reconheceu como um ‘benefício’ que o São Paulo teve na última temporada. No Paulista de 2022, na semifinal do estadual, o Tricolor teve dois dias a mais para se preparar e o Corinthians não.

Na decisão, o São Paulo eliminou o rival após vencer por 2 a 1 e se classificou para a final contra o Palmeiras. Os gols da classificação foram marcados por Welington e Alisson. Por conta do resultado, o Timão deu adeus à chance de disputar a final do estadual. Vítor Pereira era o técnico do Timão naquele momento.

O treinador disse que, de fato, o clube do Morumbi praticamente não irá treinar e nem descansar, mas como joga em casa, afirmou que conta com o apoio da torcida.

-Os jogadores estão cansados, mas é um benefício. Lembro que no ano passado tivemos esse benefício: jogamos contra o Corinthians com dois dias de vantagem [na semifinal do Campeonato Paulista]. Na época, eu até citei, e o Vítor Pereira, [então] treinador do Corinthians, também. É a mesma situação. Nós vamos enfrentar o Corinthians com pouco descanso e pouca recuperação, praticamente sem treinamento. Mas contamos muito com o nosso torcedor. O apoio deles pode fazer diferença na parte emocional de cada jogador – disse o treinador.

Rogério Ceni destacou que, em aspectos físicos, o Corinthians leva vantagem, mas que não enxerga que isso será um grande problema. Ceni não chegou a reclamar ou se opor a data, sempre enfatizando que ano passado o São Paulo estava na mesma situação favorável que o rival, e no caso, em uma decisão.

De acordo o técnico, o Tricolor não pode se abalar com estas questões, ressaltando o ‘peso da camisa’. O que beneficia o clube desta vez é a presença em peso dos torcedores no estádio do Morumbi

-Somos o São Paulo. Temos a nossa camisa e a nossa torcida e temos que nos superar mesmo diante dessa dificuldade – concluiu.

O Majestoso deste domingo (29) acontece às 18h30 (de Brasília). O São Paulo vem de uma vitória por 4 a 1 em clássico contra a Portuguesa e segue na liderança do grupo B, com cinco pontos. O Corinthians também lidera o grupo C, mas com sete pontos.

‘It’s about winning titles in the future’ – Germany and Bayern Munich legend Thomas Muller not resting on past laurels with Vancouver Whitecaps move

    WHAT HAPPENED

    Thomas Müller made his first public appearance as a Vancouver Whitecaps player at BC Place, explaining his decision to continue in MLS. The German international said his body felt too good to retire and that he was motivated by the challenge of new teammates and a different league over ending his career.

    “It's not about winning titles in the past, it's winning titles in the future," Muller said in his introductory press conference when asked how he stays motivated. "That's what motivates me, or it's not about maybe not about the titles, about the competition. Competition with your team against other teams, your own competition against yourself, your own competition against your teammates to earn your spot."

    He added, “And I was always a competitive guy during my whole life, and my love is, is to play soccer. And, my body feels even in my stage of my career too good to retire. You wish the same?..Yeah, you will you will prove it man, maybe when we talk in two weeks maybe you have different opinions. We will find out and we will find ways to handle it. Now, I'm very motivated. And I yeah, I'm happy to be.”

    The World Cup winner emphasized that his move to MLS stems from his desire to face new competitive challenges rather than simply adding to his impressive collection of trophies.

    “Now to be honest, yeah, I played so many years at Bayern in Europe and yeah, I'm very proud of this time,” Müller emphasized. “But for me, it was time also a little bit for an adventure, but an adventure for me is only interesting when it's about having the chance to go for titles. And yeah, if you watch the Vancouver Whitecaps this season and also the development in the last years, there is a chance.”

    He went on to say that the club’s vision and environment made the move even more appealing.

    “Not only this year, also next year. And these two guys showed me their ideas and their plans, and I felt quite comfortable from the beginning. And the second step was that Vancouver is already known in the whole world as maybe one of the best cities in the world. But that's the second part. My main part is the football, the soccer pitch, and I think the group we have not only has good players, they are very good people as well, and I'm looking forward to getting something new, something fresh, something I haven't experienced yet. So yeah, I'm very much looking forward to it.”

  • WHAT THOMAS MULLER SAID

    The German international took a refreshingly candid approach, admitting he couldn't predict exactly how his game would need to evolve in the North American league. Rather than making bold proclamations about dominating MLS, Muller emphasized the ongoing process of adaptation ahead.

    “I have no idea,” Muller said with a laugh. “We will find out, but that's the interesting thing about life. You have to prove it every day, especially in top sports leagues…We will find out if I can adapt to the league and to the teams and, yeah, but that's the interesting part.”

    Muller praised the team's aggressive mentality and commitment to controlling games through possession, explaining that these stylistic elements played a significant role in his decision to select Vancouver as his destination after leaving Bayern Munich.

    “I don't want to talk about quality. I want to talk about playing style, and we play active, and that's what I loved all my career, to play active soccer. To have the foot on the gas and to control the game in any stage of the game, you have to find different solutions. Sometimes, maybe you need to sit back, but in the end, it's about getting to the opponent's goal, scoring goals. And if I watch the game and when I talk to Jesper Sorensen, I think we were aligned, and we think very similarly about the game.”

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Muller signed for the Vancouver Whitecaps this summer after leaving Bayern Munich as a free agent at the end of the 2024-25 season. He spent the last 20 years with the German giants, winning a catalogue of trophies, and left as their all-time record appearance holder.

Benjamin Sesko's Man Utd shirt number confirmed as fellow new signing forced to hand over jersey to £74m striker

Benjamin Sesko's shirt number at Manchester United has been confirmed, with the £74m striker taking the jersey he wore at Salzburg and RB Leipzig.

Sesko takes No.30 shirtArrived at United for £74mFellow new signing switches jerseyFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

United have confirmed Sesko will wear the No.30 shirt following his arrival from RB Leipzig. The 22-year-old has donned the shirt previously for Salzburg and Leipzig and will do so again at Old Trafford, though that choice has forced fellow new signing Diego Leon to switch to the No.35 jersey.

Not many prominent United players have taken the No.30 shirt in recent years. Prior to Leon's initial decision to wear it, the number was last filled by reserve goalkeeper Nathan Bishop, who left the club in 2023. Previously, the shirt had been worn by Matteo Darmian, Guillermo Varela and Ritchie De Laet.

DID YOU KNOW?

It's hardly an illustrious list of No.30 wearers for United, but Sesko is still under pressure to deliver quickly, albeit for different reasons. The Red Devils have forked out a massive £74 million ($100m/€85.6m) for the Slovenia international, who scored 21 goals in all competitions for Leipzig last season.

'Miss you more than words can say' – Darwin Nunez sends touching goodbye message to Liverpool after sealing move to Al-Hilal

Darwin Nunez has shared a touching goodbye message to Liverpool after departing the club for Al-Hilal.

  • Nunez shares goodbye message
  • Striker left to join Al-Hilal
  • Liverpool to make last push for Isak
Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱
  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Nunez sealed his Liverpool exit last week and moved to the Saudi Pro League side for an initial £46.2 million (€53m/$62.1m) which could rise to £56.6m (€65m/$76.1m) with add-ons. The Uruguayan striker leaves Anfield after an up-and-down three years and with a tinge of sadness at his failure to live up to the initial hype and potential that surrounded him. Despite his mixed time, he had an important role in Liverpool's title winning campaign last season and arrives in the Middle East as a Premier League champion.

    WHAT NUNEZ SAID

    Posting his farewell on social media, Nunez said: "Thank you, Liverpool.

    "Three years on, it's time to say goodbye. I'll take with me countless memories that will live with me forever. I leave with a full heart, thanks to the love of a crowd that never let me down and always had my back – through the highs and through the lows.

    "Liverpool will always be part of who I am. I'll miss you more than words can say. To all the staff and my teammates – thank you, and all the very best for the future."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    With Nunez departing, it is likely that Liverpool will step up their pursuit of Alexander Isak. The Newcastle striker has made it clear he wishes to move to Anfield and, amid rumours of a second bid being readied, it might only be a matter of time before the Swedish striker is playing in red. Newcastle remain reluctant to let their star man depart, particularly without a replacement lined up, and will demand an astronomical fee. The saga will likely drag out long into the window.

    WHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL?

    The Reds captain Virgil van Dijk was adamant that they need to bring in additional firepower in the transfer window – despite their heavy outlay already. The Dutch defender mentioned losing Nunez as one of the key reasons why Liverpool need more signings, but whether Isak will be next or not remains to be seen.

Jamie Smith's 87 off 38 sees Surrey down champions Somerset

All 20 wickets fall on an evening of batting collapses at the Kia Oval

ECB Reporters Network02-Jun-2024Jamie Smith’s sparkling knock of 87 from 38 balls laid the foundations for Surrey’s third straight Vitality Blast win as they took revenge on Somerset, their conquerors in last year’s semi-final.The Surrey batter struck his second successive Blast half-century, sharing a partnership of 111 from 56 with Ollie Pope prior to an astonishing collapse triggered by Somerset’s Ben Green. Green – who took three wickets to help seal Somerset’s semi-final success en route to the 2023 title – claimed three in a single over at the Kia Oval as the home side lost their last six for 11 runs and slumped to 163 all out.But Somerset failed to build partnerships in response, with Sean Abbott and Tom Curran taking three wickets apiece as the defending champions were rolled for 106 in the 16th over.Surrey made a spluttering start after being inserted, with only seven runs on the board when opening pair Laurie Evans and Dan Lawrence were both caught in the deep by Tom Lammonby.Jason Roy soon followed them, swatting Riley Meredith to the midwicket fence and trying to repeat the stroke next ball, with Lammonby pouching the top edge to complete his third catch. But Smith was immediately into his stride, heaving Craig Overton for the first of his seven sixes and combining power with clean striking of the ball as he launched a ruthless assault on the Somerset attack.Pope was able to build at a more relaxed pace while his partner raced to a half-century from 22 balls, drilling Roelof van der Merwe for another maximum and Surrey looked strongly placed at 139 for 3 with seven overs left.But van der Merwe began the Somerset fightback by bowling Pope (40 from 32) before Green – whose first two overs had cost 27 – captured three wickets in the space of five balls, including a slow yorker to end Smith’s hopes of a maiden T20 century.Meredith (3 for 34) uprooted Abbott’s off stump before Jake Ball bowled last man Spencer Johnson to round off Surrey’s collapse with six deliveries still unused.However, the Australian left-armer boosted his side’s hopes with three tight overs at the start of Somerset’s reply – including the wickets of both Tom Banton, caught down the leg side and Will Smeed, who hit 20 from 12 before dragging onto his off stump.Tom Abell also departed, caught at long-on mistiming a drive off Abbott, but Tom Kohler-Cadmore launched Gus Atkinson for successive sixes – the second of them a top-edged hook that was coolly plucked out of the air by a steward at the Vauxhall End.Looking dangerous with 25 from just 10 balls, Kohler-Cadmore’s innings was abruptly ended by Abbott’s pinpoint throw from the leg side to run him out with a direct hit almost parallel to the stumps at the bowler’s end.Surrey continued to take wickets at regular intervals, with Abbott recording 3 for 8 in his three overs and Curran, who sealed victory by having Ball caught at mid-on, 3 for 16.

O período de ausência dos gramados foi tema da coletiva.Para João, problemas físicos e a falta de sequência em times anteriores explicam a pouca quantidade em campo nos últimos meses.

– Na verdade tinha que perguntar pra eles (Corinthians) se podia jogar mais, treinava, dava meu melhor, mas não tive tantas oportundades quanto queria. Não cabe a mim. A oportunidade é um primeiro passo. Infelizmente não ocorreu da maneira como sempre quis e tive lesões.

أحمد شوبير يكشف موقف الأهلي من التعاقد مع حسام البدري بعد رحيل ريبيرو

كشف الإعلامي أحمد شوبير، حقيقة ما يتردد بشأن وجود نية داخل مجلس إدارة القلعة الحمراء بشان التعاقد مع حسام البدري، لتدريب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم خلفاً للإسباني خوسيه ريبيرو.

وتبحث إدارة الأهلي رحيل ريبيرو بعد الخسارة أمام بيراميدز بهدفين مقابل لا شيء، في المباراة التي جمعتهما أمس السبت، ضمن منافسات الجولة الخامسة من مسابقة الدوري المصري.

وقال أحمد شوبير في تصريحات عبر قناة “الأهلي”: “حسام البدري مدرب عظيم، لكن التوجه داخل النادي الأهلي أن المدرب الجديد سيكون أجنبيًا، قد يكون هناك مدرب مؤقت لعدة أيام، لكن الأهلي يسعى لضم مدرب أجنبي خلال فترة التوقف”.

وأتم: “ستتردد أسماء كثيرة في هذه الفترة، لكن هل الأهلي توصل لاتفاق؟ لا، لكن الأهلي متعجل في اختيار مدرب أجنبي”.

وتواصل لجنة التخطيط اجتماعاتها خلال الساعات المقبلة من أجل الاستقرار على التصور النهائي للجهاز الفني الجديد، الذي سيتولى قيادة الفريق في المرحلة المقبلة.

وكان الأهلي قد تعاقد مع ريبيرو في بداية الموسم الحالي، خلفًا للسويسري مارسيل كولر، وقاد الفريق في 7 مباريات حتى الآن، ما بين بطولة كأس العالم للأندية والدوري المصري، فاز في مباراة واحدة وخسر في مباراتين وتعادل في 4 مواجهات.

Revealed: Why Newcastle want Yoane Wissa AND one more striker before transfer deadline as Alexander Isak continues to push for Liverpool move

Newcastle United remain keen on signing Brentford forward Yoane Wissa before the transfer deadline – but see him as a replacement for Callum Wilson rather than wantaway star Alexander Isak. With Liverpool pushing to lure Isak to Anfield, the Magpies are keen on increasing their number of options in attack but believe that replacing Wilson with Wissa is the right option.

Newcastle target Wissa as Wilson’s long-term replacement optionIsak pushing for Liverpool move amid Magpies striker searchWatkins, Aghehowa, Jackson also considered for reinforcementsFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Newcastle have stepped up interest in Wissa, who is eager to make the move to St James’ Park. However, Brentford have made it clear they will not sell until they sign reinforcements. As per iNews, the Magpies view Wissa as Wilson’s successor, meaning an Isak exit would still require a separate replacement.

Isak continues to push for a move to Liverpool, but Newcastle are in no rush to sanction a deal. The club prefer to take their time finding the right profile to succeed him. Spending for the sake of it is not part of their strategy, even under transfer deadline pressure this summer amid the departure of Wilson and the potential sale of Isak.

TELL ME MORE…

Newcastle have considered Ollie Watkins, Porto’s Samu Aghehowa, and Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson. Aghehowa’s valuation is similar to Benjamin Sesko’s, but Newcastle see him as more unproven.

AFPWHAT NEXT FOR NEWCASTLE?

The Magpies will continue talks with Brentford for Wissa while monitoring other striker options. Isak’s Liverpool pursuit adds urgency, but Newcastle remain calm in negotiations. A double striker swoop is possible before the window closes if the right deals emerge for Eddie Howe's side.

A uma semana para fim das inscrições, São Paulo tem dificuldades em achar zagueiro no mercado

MatériaMais Notícias

Faltando menos de uma semana para o término das inscrições para a primeira fase do Campeonato Paulista – na próxima sexta-feira (10) -, o São Paulo encontra dificuldades no mercado para contratar um substituto para Nahuel Ferraresi. O clube vê a falta de opções para a zaga como um problema grave por pelo menos as próximas três rodadas da competição.

O venezuelano, então com status de titular absoluto do técnico Rogério Ceni, foi o segundo problema do clube do Morumbi para a defesa neste início de temporada após se contundir gravemente e ter que passar por cirurgia.

Erison titular? Ceni testa opções para jogo contra Santo AndréSão Paulo04/02/2023

+Artista recria troféus de grandes competições com o auxílio da Inteligência Artificial

Isso porque Diego Costa, com uma contusão no joelho esquerdo desde a final da Copa Sul-Americana, em novembro do ano passado, só foi submetido a uma cirurgia pelo departamento médico no início da pré-temporada, em meados de dezembro.

A expectativa é que ele volte aos treinos na sexta. Mas a falta completa de ritmo de jogo não o torna, mesmo se o prazo estimado se cumprir, uma opção imediata para Ceni.

Agora, um novo problema. Arboleda, que desfalcou o clube por todo o segundo semestre de 2022 após grave contusão e cirurgia, ainda sente os reflexos da recuperação. Tem uma tendinite que vai lhe tirar dos gramados por pelo menos duas semanas, após fazer um esforço para atuar nos duelos contra os maiores rivais dos tricolores (Palmeiras e Corinthians).

Com os três desfalques, o Tricolor tem apenas duas das cinco opções iniciais disponíveis para sua defesa: Alan Franco, argentino contratado em janeiro, e Beraldo.

LAMENTAÇÕES E FÉ

Já com o Paulistão em andamento, Ceni promoveu da base Matheus Belém, titular do clube na Copa São Paulo de juniores deste ano. Tem também Ythallo, que acabou preterido, mas já trabalhou com o treinador no CT da Barra Funda no ano passado.

São opções de urgência, conforme o próprio Ceni pondera. Isso porque na metodologia implantada, o treinador vê como ideal que se repita o que aconteceu com Beraldo: um ano treinando com o plantel principal para ajudar na adaptação.

Entretanto, um fator pode complicar os planos do comandante são-paulino: a dificuldade encontrada para se achar um zagueiro no mercado.

Conforme o LANCE! apurou, tão logo Ceni passou a pedir pela chegada de um reforço para o setor em suas entrevistas, as buscas começaram. Mas o Tricolor acumulou negativas por empréstimos, método adotado para negociações nesta temporada por conta das dificuldades financeiras.

Três nomes eram os alvos certos do São Paulo. Nenhum teve o andamento esperado pelos dirigentes. Sem poder olhar para estrangeiros, afinal há um número deles acima do limite permitido, os preços assustam.

Um deles é João Marcelo. Com passagens pela base de Vasco, Fluminense e Grêmio, o jogador do Porto B foi sondado. Mas os portugueses sequer quiseram discutir qualquer tratativa.

Outro que segue na pauta é Joaquim, do Cuiabá. A primeira abordagem tricolor foi para tentar o empréstimo. Recebeu uma negativa. O time mato-grossense só aceita vender. O preço? 4 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 22,3 milhões).

O Tricolor oferece R$ 8 milhões, segundo apurou o L! com fontes da cúpula são-paulina por uma parte dos direitos federativos. Aguarda resposta.

Enquanto isso, Ceni precisa honrar o apelido de ‘Clube da Fé’ e apelar para forças divinas. Com só duas opções disponíveis apenas, tem três jogos (Santo André, neste domingo, Bragantino e Santos) para passar sem expulsões e contusões, para não ser obrigado a mandar a campo uma das ‘Crias de Cotia’.
