O técnico Celso Roth falou sobre a fase do futebol brasileiro e, também, o aumento de profissionais estrangeiros comandando os clubes do país como vem acontecendo. O veterano elogiou o trabalho de Abel Ferreira, do Palmeiras, mas o colocou no mesmo patamar de Mano Menezes, do Internacional.

– Junto com Abel Ferreira, o grande trabalho de um treinador no ano do futebol brasileiro foi o do Mano Menezes. Ele fez um trabalho espetacular no Internacional nesse Campeonato Brasileiro. Um dos melhores da competição – disse Celso Roth, em entrevista à Rádio Grenal.

Devine returns for third ODI against England, Bezuidenhout ruled out with hamstring injury

Sophie Devine will return to lead New Zealand for the third and final ODI against England in Hamilton on Sunday. Devine had missed the fifth T20I and the first two ODIs with a quad strain.”Having Sophie lead them out tomorrow will fill the team with confidence,” New Zealand head coach Ben Sawyer said. “Sophie is always going to be a big miss whenever she is unavailable so we’re delighted to be able to bring her back.”Meanwhile, opening batter Bernadine Bezuidenhout has been ruled out of Sunday’s match after pulling her hamstring while fielding during the first innings of the second ODI. Bezuidenhout did not come out to bat during New Zealand’s unsuccessful chase of 253.Later, a scan revealed a grade 1 hamstring strain that will require “a short period of rehabilitation”, New Zealand Cricket said in a release.”We’re disappointed for Bernie, who’s already faced her fair share of injury challenges this summer,” Sawyer said. “We’re hoping she will make a quick recovery as we look ahead to a busy winter of cricket.”New Zealand have called up Eden Carson as Bezuidenhout’s replacement, while Mikaela Greig will join as extra cover.England lead the three-match series 2-0.

Haris Rauf: Injury lay-off could be 'blessing in disguise'

Fast bowler returned to Pakistan ranks for second T20I at Edgbaston on Saturday

Danyal Rasool27-May-2024Elite athletes may have everything at their beck and call, but one thing they usually lack is time. In Pakistan cricket, no player has ever voluntarily taken time off from any kind of cricket – except to play cricket elsewhere during a calendar clash. Haris Rauf knows that better than anyone else after he decided to pull out of Pakistan’s Test series in Australia to play the Big Bash, and paid for it with his central contract.As he worked his way mending fences with his cricket board, any notion of voluntary time off was fanciful. But events took their course, and an untimely dive during the final over of the PSL’s highest-profile match saw him dislocate his shoulder. He would be ruled out for three months, missing the remainder of the PSL, Pakistan’s home series against New Zealand and away series in Ireland, and he only made his competitive return in Birmingham on Saturday.All that time off, Haris acknowledges, may not have been such a bad thing. “I was injured the last few months but if you believe in yourself, then the layoff can be a blessing in disguise,” he said at a press conference ahead of Pakistan’s third T20I against England in Cardiff. “Because you have time to recover and reassess your gameplans. I felt good coming back to cricket. When you play for your country, it makes you very proud.”His comeback at Edgbastan was solid, if short of spectacular. He was the pick of the fast bowlers, taking two wickets for 34 in his allocated spell. It included an ill-advised Powerplay over – by far Rauf’s weakest phase – that conceded 17. For the rest of his spell he maintained consistent pace and accuracy, and went at less than a run a ball while picking up two wickets.,Related

Jofra Archer's smooth comeback gives England a 'different level mood'

It wouldn’t ultimately be enough as Pakistan fell comfortably short in the end. “When you lose a game it hurts, but as a team, we are confident,” he said. “We feel we can beat any opposition on any day. We’ve done it in the past, too. When you make mistakes you learn and try not to repeat those mistakes. We’re looking to play better in the next few games and make a comeback.”The camp is relaxed. We’re enjoying ourselves. We’re trying to follow our gameplans and execute them well. The results haven’t often been in our favour recently but if you stick to your plans they can sometimes follow.”Rauf also spoke of the psychological and physical struggles of returning from a long-term injury, particularly for a fast bowler – a topic that Naseem Shah also addressed recently. “It’s hard,” he said. “It’s a struggle during your rehab, and it’s difficult when you come back to maintain that pace and accuracy. But if you believe in yourself, it makes things easier. When I wasn’t in the team and rehabbing, I had a lot of time to think about my game and work on myself. Thankfully I’m back now, and the World Cup is coming up.”Pakistan have ensured they get as much match practice as possible ahead of the World Cup; in 2024, they will have played 17 T20Is by the end of this series, in addition to the PSL. It has included experimentation with the top order, the bowling combinations, and indeed a change of captain. It hasn’t all gone their way, with the 2-1 win in Ireland their only T20I series win since the 2022 World Cup.Rauf admits winning the next two games would give Pakistan much-needed confidence, but insists these games are about more than just that. “Before the World Cup, if you win a series it gives you confidence, but even if you lose you understand where you made mistakes and you learn from them,” he said. “This series is difficult, but we’ll try to win it. The focus is of course on the World Cup, which we aim to win to make our country proud.”

Chelsea's clearout continues! Blues in talks to sell THREE unwanted midfielders amid another hectic transfer window

Chelsea are pressing ahead with their summer overhaul as talks advance to offload three midfielders deemed surplus to requirements. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Lesley Ugochukwu and Carney Chukwuemeka are all closing in on exits, with Everton, Burnley and Borussia Dortmund the likely destinations in yet another busy window at Stamford Bridge after Club World Cup success.

    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Chelsea are finalising deals to sell Ugochukwu to Burnley, Dewsbury-Hall to Everton and Chukwuemeka to Borussia Dortmund. The trio struggled for regular minutes last season and are no longer part of Enzo Maresca’s long-term plans. While the deals for the former two players are almost completed, as per Fabrizio Romano, Chukwuemeka's move may still take a few weeks.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Chelsea have spent over £243m this summer and are looking to balance the books. The three midfielders reportedly cost the club more than £50m combined but have had a limited impact at Stamford Bridge. Their sales could help fund new arrivals like Xavi Simons or Alejandro Garnacho.

  • TELL ME MORE…

    Ugochukwu made just three league starts and spent time on loan at Southampton. Dewsbury-Hall joined from Leicester last summer but struggled to break into the side despite his £30m fee. Chukwuemeka is keen to return to Dortmund and Chelsea are open to selling for around €25m.

Bartlett and Keogh give Northants control at Derby

Fifth-wicket stand of 124 ensures platform provided by openers does not go to waste

ECB Reporters Network17-May-2024

George Bartlett and Rob Keogh led a solid Northamptonshire batting display on the opening day of the Vitality County Championship Division Two match against Derbyshire at Derby.The pair both scored half-centuries and added 124 for the fifth wicket to get the innings back on track after Anuj Dal struck twice to reduce Northants to 121 for 4. Ricardo Vasconcelos and Emilio Gay shared an opening stand of 99 but it was Bartlett’s 76 and Keogh’s unbeaten 75 that gave Northants the advantage, closing on 297 for 5.Ross Whiteley claimed his first Championship victim for nearly three years but Blair Tickner was the pick of the attack and deserved more than one wicket from 21 overs.Derbyshire began the day by naming allrounder Whiteley in the team for his first Championship match since he played for Worcestershire in June 2021.Whiteley spent the morning in the field after Northants decided to bat in sunny conditions although both openers needed some good fortune to survive on a pitch offering assistance to the seamers.South African fast bowler Daryn Dupavillon knocked Vasconcelos off his feet with a yorker first ball of the match although it was Tickner who posed the biggest threat.The New Zealander went past the bat numerous times in an outstanding six-over opening spell that included four maidens and cost only three runs. But the pressure eased once he was out of the attack with the other bowlers unable to maintain the same consistent line.When Tickner was brought back on, Vasconcelos pulled him for four to reach his 50 from 89 balls but just when it was looking like a fruitless session for the home side, he moved one back in to have him lbw.Northants would still have been satisfied with their position at lunch but the picture quickly changed after Gay was dismissed by the first ball of the afternoon session.It was an innocuous delivery from Dal but Gay played it into his stumps as he aimed to push it to the offside and Dal struck again in his next over. Luke Proctor had never looked comfortable and after facing 17 balls without scoring, he went across to glance and lost his leg stump.There was an even bigger success for Derbyshire when Zak Chappell got one to straighten to bowl Karun Nair for 6 to leave Northants in danger of failing to build on the foundations laid by the openers.Another wicket would have opened the door for Derbyshire but Bartlett and Keogh regrouped and batted through the rest of the session. Bartlett reached his 50 from 72 balls when he cover drove David Lloyd for his ninth four and by tea the pair had added 74 to shift the initiative back to the visitors.Whiteley was brought into the attack after the interval and after Keogh guided him past gully for four to go to 50 from 103 balls, he broke the stand in his next over. Bartlett was surprised by a ball that lifted from just outside off stump and could only fend it to slip where Aneurin Donald took a simple catch.It was an important breakthrough ahead of the second new ball which Derbyshire took immediately but Keogh and Justin Broad denied them any further success.

USA vs Canada, cricket's oldest rivalry renewed at biggest T20 World Cup

Match details

United States of America vs Canada
Dallas, 7.30pm local

Big picture – USA start as favourites

In a way, it’s fitting that cricket’s oldest international rivalry will kick off its biggest World Cup, comprising 20 teams. Long before Australia and England played the first-ever Test in 1877, USA and Canada locked horns in a three-day game in 1844. In that match in New York, Canada came out on top by 23 runs.One-hundred-and-eighty years later, the same two teams will come face to face in the T20 World Cup 2024 opener in Dallas. Coincidentally, it is the first T20 World Cup for both sides. USA qualified by virtue of being the co-hosts and Canada by winning the Americas Qualifier.Related

  • The oldest international contest of them all

Saturday’s game will be the first T20I at the Grand Prairie Stadium. But there is hardly any buzz in Dallas, which means the 7000-seater may not be packed to capacity. Moreover, a thunderstorm could play spoilsport, as it did during the warm-ups for both sides at this very venue.Nevertheless, USA will be the favourites on Saturday. While they have played only seven T20Is since the 2022 T20 World Cup – all in the last two months – that was enough to show their pedigree. They first beat Canada 4-0 before stunning Bangladesh 2-1, both times playing at home.If the rain stays away, Corey Anderson, the former New Zealand allrounder who now plays for USA, will become the fifth player to represent two teams at the T20 World Cup. Former India Under-19 World Cup winner Harmeet Singh, once touted as the next Bishan Bedi, is also expected to play a key role with bat and ball.In left-arm seamer Kaleem Sana, Canada have got someone who once dismissed Babar Azam in a first-class game in Pakistan. They also have 37-year-old Jeremy Gordon, one of the fastest bowlers in associate cricket.Among other sub-plots, Canada coach Pubudu Dassanayake was previously with USA in the same role, and batting-allrounder Nitish Kumar, who now plays for USA, was with Canada till 2019.

In the spotlight – Corey Anderson and Aaron Johnson

Corey Anderson made his T20I debut for USA in April. He started with scores of 28 and 55, but at the same time, he looked a bit rusty. In five T20Is he has played for USA till now, he has struck at 112.30. Once upon a time, he held the record for the fastest ODI hundred. Can he turn the clock back to those days?Originally from Jamaica, Aaron Johnson is a powerful opening batter who loves playing no-look shots. The 33-year-old made his T20I debut for Canada in 2022. In 16 games so far, he has scored 713 runs at an average of 50.92 and a strike rate of 166.58.

Stats that matter

  • Taylor and Patel have six 50-plus stands in the 12 T20I innings in which they have opened together for USA. Their partnership run rate is 9.65.
  • Since the last T20 World Cup in 2022, only two batters have scored 700 or more runs at a 50-plus average and a 150-plus strike rate: India’s Suryakumar Yadav and Canada’s Aaron Johnson.
  • Across all T20s, Johnson has taken Netravalkar for 50 runs in 30 balls while getting out only once.
  • Aaron Jones has smashed Heyliger for 23 runs in 11 balls for one dismissal. But Saad has had the wood over him: two dismissals in 23 balls for just 15 runs.
  • Saad is the only bowler to have registered four maidens in a T20I, a feat he achieved against Panama in 2021 when he finished with figures of 4-4-0-2.
  • So far, only four players have represented two different teams at the T20 World Cup: Roelof van der Merwe (South Africa and Netherlands), Dirk Nannes (Netherlands and Australia), David Wiese (South Africa and Namibia) and Mark Chapman (Hong Kong and New Zealand). Anderson could join them on Saturday.

Pitch and conditions

Of the four warm-up games scheduled here, only one saw some action. Batting first in that, Canada posted 183 for 7. In response, Nepal were all out for 120. There is a 40% chance of rain on Saturday, though.

Quotes

“I will say fearless cricket, positive cricket, smart cricket. I think that’s what we’re really and truly trying to do. We don’t want to regret anything. We want to leave everything out there on the park. And then, obviously, if we come out on top, it’s great. If we don’t come out on top, that’s how cricket goes sometimes. But we don’t want to regret anything.”
“At the national level, we are rivals because we are from the same region. We tend to play against each other a lot. Most of the time it’s in qualifiers where there’s a lot on the line, whether it’s the ODI status or the T20 World Cup qualification. But at the same time, we do play a lot of tournaments and franchise cricket in the North American region. So there’s a lot of friendships between the two countries as well.”

Diálogo, irritação e Ceni de olho no Galo: entenda os bastidores entre as diretorias de Atlético-MG e São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

Atlético-MG e São Paulo tem feito negócios e dialogado bastante nos últimos tempos, o que ficou evidenciado na atual janela de transferências do futebol brasileiro. No entanto, uma série de acontecimentos que envolvem inclusive o Internacional fez a relação ficar estremecida nos últimos dias.

Tudo começou com o término do Campeonato Brasileiro. O Tricolor, com o fim da disputa nacional, tinha um objetivo claro: buscar o volante Jair. Em baixa em Belo Horizonte, o atleta foi um pedido de Rogério Ceni e tornou-se desejo do time paulista. O treinador quer um segundo volante que saiba sair jogando e o perfil de Jair atende exatamente às expectativas.

A situação não avançou no primeiro momento. O São Paulo passou a página e voltou a investir no Atlético-MG: tirou o goleiro Rafael, outro pedido de Rogério Ceni, por R$ 5 milhões.Por outro lado, o Galo também olhou com cuidado para o elenco do São Paulo e começou a conversar com Igor Gomes. Como o vínculo do atleta com o Tricolor encerra em março e ele já demonstrou desejo de sair (apesar da vontade de Ceni em sua permanência), a situação ficou mais simples para o Atlético.

Neste momento o São Paulo admitia a derrota no caso Igor Gomes, que teve boa valorização salarial para jogar em Belo Horizonte e já tinha assinado pré-contrato. Restou a única força possível: liberar agora ou só no fim do contrato. Para isso, a negociação caminhou para o time paulista ficar com porcentagem do passe do atleta, algo que os mineiros aceitaram.

O Atlético-MG voltou a investir no São Paulo, diante de novo pedido de Eduardo Coudet: o volante Patrick. O Galo chegou a negociar e os tratos avançaram consideravelmente. No entanto, o negócio travou com a participação do Internacional. Isso porque o São Paulo, a pedido de Rogério Ceni, avançou nos tratos com o atacante David. Porém, no momento de encerrar, o Colorado entrou na jogada e decidiu dificultar a negociação que estava praticamente certa. O motivo é ter sofrido um chapéu para o Galo no caso Igor Gomes.

Em consequência disso, a diretoria do Tricolor ficou sem o David, sem o meio-campista Igor Gomes e decidiu descontar no Galo toda a irritação. Por isso, passou a travar a negociação entre Atlético-MG e Patrick e não liberar Igor Gomes de maneira antecipada. Rodrigo Caetano fez contato com o São Paulo e ouviu que só com a liberação de Jair e Ademir seguiria com os tratos.

Após tudo isso, Rogério Ceni ligou direto para Ademir e convidou o atacante para jogar no Tricolor, oferecendo valorização e um plano para o atleta. O avante, todavia, passou o caso para o Galo e a situação ficou crítica, pois Rodrigo Caetano e toda a diretoria alvinegra ficaram incomodados com isso.

O Atlético-MG agora não tem mais necessidade de agilidade por Igor Gomes. Eduardo Coudet já aceitou a ideia de ter que esperar até março para o atleta se juntar ao elenco. Sobre a saída de Ademir, ele é atualmente considerado inegociável pelo Atlético-MG e Eduardo Coudet tem objetivos para o atacante.

ذا أثلتيك توضح حقيقة رحيل أورتيجا عن مانشستر سيتي

تحدثت صحيفة ذا أثلتيك اليوم الأربعاء، عن موقف حارس مرمى نادي مانشستر سيتي، ستيفن أورتيجا وحقيقة رحيل الأخير عن صفوف النادي الإنجليزي خلال فترة الميركاتو الصيفي الجاري.

أورتيجا يدخل سنته الرابعة كلاعب في صفوف مانشستر سيتي، حيث وقع حارس المرمى مع السيتيزن خلال صيف عام 2022 في صفقة انتقال حر عقب نهاية عقده مع نادي أرمينيا بينيفيلد.

وفشل أورتيجا بشكل تام في حجز مقعد أساسي له في تشكيلة مانشستر سيتي، وبات حارس المرمى البالغ من العمر 32 عامًا على مقاعد البدلاء.

وأشارت الصحيفة، إلى أن أورتيجا تلقى عدة عروض للرحيل عن صفوف مانشستر سيتي هذا الصيف، من بينها عروض من أندية في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز وفي التشامبيونششيب، وكذلك في الدوري الألماني.

وأضافت أن أورتيجا رفض جميع هذه العروض، حيث يريد حارس المرمى الألماني اللعب في نادي يتنافس على الألقاب مثل مانشستر سيتي وفي أعلى مستوى.

أورتيجا بات أمر رحيله عن مانشستر سيتي حتميًا، بعد تعاقد النادي الإنجليزي مع جيمس ترافورد من بيرنلي، بجانب الاقتراب من جلب جيانلويجي دوناروما، حارس مرمى باريس سان جيرمان.

The young striker’s breakout came after injuries to Endrick and illness to Kylian Mbappe opened the door for him to start under Xabi Alonso. His aerial ability, composure, and relentless work rate impressed both team-mates and coaches. He already has five goals in 12 senior appearances and has already been compared to club legend Raul.

DID YOU KNOW?

Garcia could take the No.9 jersey ahead of the new season, with the iconic shirt currently vacant after Mbappe opted to switch to the No. 10 jersey. Gonzalo has already scored at youth international level for Spain and is tipped by many in Los Blancos’ academy to follow in Raul’s footsteps as a homegrown striker.
