Apalavrado, Paulinho aguarda detalhes para acerto final com o Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

Uma questão de tempo, é isso que separa o meia Paulinho do Corinthians. O jogador, através do seu estafe, já acenou o desejo de retornar ao clube do Parque São Jorge desde setembro, pouco depois da saída doAl-Ahli, da Arábia Saudita, mas só conseguiria ser inscrito a partir de janeiro, quando abre a janela de transferências internacional.

Segundo a reportagem do LANCE! apurou, o retorno do meia ao Timão está conversado e amarrado entre os representantes do jogador e do clube, e a assinatura do contrato depende, no momento, apenas de um aceno da direção corintiana em relação a data. Enquanto isso, Paulinho aguarda.

Os primeiros passos para novidades sobre o possível acordo podem ser dados a partir da próxima semana, quando a diretoria do Timão vai, de fato, dar o início no planejamento para 2022.

O estafe do Corinthians já trabalha há algum tempo visando a próxima temporada, mas agora, com o fim do Brasileirão na última quinta-feira (9), as ações de montagem do grupo para o ano que vem serão tomadas.

Logo após o último jogo do Timão na temporada, contra o Juventude, em Caxias do Sul, o diretor de futebol corintiano Roberto de Andrade garantiu a manutenção do técnico Sylvinho e disse que na próxima terça-feira (14) haverá uma entrevista coletiva ao lado do Gerente de Futebol Alessandro Nunes. A expectativa é que o planejamento para 2022 seja abordado.

Paulinho esteve no radar do Corinthians para esta temporada, no meio do ano, mas optou jogar no Al Ahli. Contudo, após somente dois meses e quatro jogos disputados o atleta rescindiu amigavelmente com a equipe árabe, alegando problemas pessoais.

Com a camisa corintiana, Paulinho jogou entre 2010 e 2013, disputou 167 jogos, marcou 34 gols e conquistou quatro títulos:Campeonato Brasileiro de 2011, Libertadores e Mundial de 2012 e Paulistão de 2013.

Ross Taylor: WTC win 'makes up for the heartbreak of 2019'

The New Zealand batter says he has no no plans of retiring, and that he “still want(s) to learn and still get better”

Ross Taylor – ‘The photo of me, Kane coming off speaks louder than words’

New Zealand batter Ross Taylor has toasted the side’s World Test Championship victory, saying it will “make up” for the 2019 World Cup heartbreak at Lord’s, where they lost losing the final to England.”I guess at the start of my career, there was a few ups and downs,” Taylor said during a virtual media interaction on Wednesday. “We played in a few inconsistent sides, but, no, I guess over the last few years, the team has built into a fantastic consistent side and after the heartbreak of the 2019 World Cup, this is definitely the highlight and I think probably makes up for that.”Fittingly, it was Taylor, New Zealand’s highest run-getter in Test cricket, who sealed the win on the sixth day with a shovelled four off his legs to the midwicket boundary. Taylor, however, refused to see it as “his moment” and fondly looked back at finishing things off with his captain Kane Williamson.”…Once the winning runs were hit, walking off with him [Willamson] and the discussions afterwards, it’s something that I’ll never forget,” he said. “It was still touch and go when I went out there to bat; to get through that hard period and Kane’s been a fantastic captain and ambassador for the game and our country. And for him to be out there and on that last ball before, he sort of gave me a stare: ‘hurry up and finish it’ so that he doesn’t have to. So it was nice to hit the boundary and celebrate what was a tough match with a lot of hard work over the last two or so years.”Will we see this moment immortalised as a statue one day?•Getty Images

Immediately after Taylor hit the winning runs, he embraced Williamson, patted him on his head, and exchanged glove punches, with the New Zealand fans celebrating in the background. The image of the pair walking off the ground together has become iconic, with the public even suggesting it should be immortalised as a statue at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.”It was just nice to have been there,” Taylor said. “But, I think, I’ve seen the photo a lot. A lot of people have sent it to me and I think the photo of Kane and I come off probably speaks louder than words. The photo says it all, I think. Obviously, we were very happy with what we had achieved but also there was a little bit of relief in there too that we were finally able to get one across the line.”After the heartbreak of 2019, it was nice to finally be out there and be there with Kane and go and celebrate it with a lot of guys – BJ [BJ Watling], Boulty [Trent Boult], Tim [Southee], a lot of guys who have been in this team and experienced a lot of highs and lows over a long period of time.”I’ll leave that [having a statue at the Basin Reserve] to the people to decide but I’m sure if you ask Kane, I know what the answer will be.”‘Just want to keep playing cricket’ – Taylor brushes aside retirement talk
In a recent interview with the ICC, Taylor admitted that, had the 2019 final not turned out as it did, he might have retired after that tournament (or after that summer). On Wednesday, the 37-year-old was asked again whether he was tempted to retire now that he had experienced the high of winning the inaugural WTC, but he brushed it off, saying he still had the drive to play and perform for New Zealand as well as his domestic side Central Districts.’I just want to keep playing cricket, whatever level that is, for as long as I can’•ICC/Getty Images

“It’s still sinking in that we can call ourselves world champions, but I’m still loving the game of cricket,” Taylor said. “I still want to learn and still get better, so that’s a good sign. But, yeah, at this stage I just want to keep playing cricket, whatever level that is, for as long as I can… New Zealanders for whatever reason retire at 34 or 35, and once I got to 37 I can understand why they do – you get asked the question a lot, your age comes into question a lot more when you do things exactly the same as what you were doing two years ago, but you’re doing them wrong because of your age which is sometimes a bit hard to swallow. Regardless of when I do pull up stumps, I still feel like I can play domestic cricket, I still love playing for my country and I still love playing for Central Districts as well.”Taylor’s T20I future, however, is uncertain after he had been dropped from that side during New Zealand’s last home summer and was asked to prove his form and fitness in the Super Smash for the Central Stags. Glenn Phillips seamlessly slotted into the middle order instead and ultimately won his first central contract after featuring in each of the 14 T20Is New Zealand played over the 2019-20 home summer. Taylor hasn’t played a T20I since November 2020, and doesn’t see a spot opening up for him anytime soon.”No, I haven’t really thought about anything as I said. My main focus over the last sort of while was just to do everything I can to make the [T20] World Cup side,” he said. “My calf and hammy were playing up leading into that. No, I think the team is pretty settled in the Twenty20 side, and there’s a lot of cricket to be played before and after that. No, I don’t see the team changing much in the near future.”

فيديو | بمساهمة شرفية لـ مرموش.. هاتريك مبابي يٌقصي مانشستر سيتي ويقود ريال مدريد لدور الـ16 من دوري أبطال أوروبا

تأهل ريال مدريد الإسباني إلى دور الـ16 من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، بعدما حقق فوزًا سهلًا على مانشستر سيتي في إياب ملحق ثمن النهائي.

المباراة جمعت بين الفريقين على ملعب سانتياجو بيرنابيو كانت من طرف واحد في شوطها الأول، والذي انتهى بثنائية ريال مدريد.

الهدف الأول جاء مبكرًا في الدقيقة 4 بعد تمريرة رائعة من راؤول أسينسيو في ظهر دفاع مانشسستر سيتي، وأخطأ دياز في إبعاد الكرة، ليستغلها كيليان بمابي ويضعها بطريقة ممتازة من فوق الحارس إيديرسون “لوب”.

بعد الهدف بدقائق قليلة، سقط جون ستونز ليخرج مصابًا في الدقيقة 8، ويدخل بدلًا منه ناثان آكي، ويتلقى مانشستر سيتي ضربة جديدة.

استمر ريال مدريد في السيطرة والفرص التي يشنها على مرمى إيديرسون، ورأسية بيلينجهام مرت بعيدة بسنتيمترات عن شباك البرازيلي في الدقيقة 15.

ظل ريال مدريد يضغط، حتى جاء الهدف الثاني من كيليان مبابي بطريقة رائعة، بعد تمريرة رودريجو راوغ بعدها جفارديول الذي عانى الويلات أمام الفرنسي، ليسكنها كيليان في شباك إيديرسون عند الدقيقة 33.

انتهى الشوط الأول، ولم يظهر مانشستر سيتي على أرض الملعب سوى في وسط ملعبه، دون أي خطورة أو تسديدة على شباك الحارس تيبو كورتوا.

في الشوط الثاني، لم يغيّر جوارديولا شيئًا، واستمر ريال مدريد كما هو بجباروته على سانتياجو بيرنابيو، مما أدى لحصول نيكو جونزاليس على بطاقة صفراء في الدقيقة 48 بعدما منع فينيسيوس من الوصول لمرمى فريقه.

التهديد استمر من ريال مدريد، حتى جاء الهاتريك من كيليان مبابي في الدقيقة 61، بتسديدة صاروخية بعد تمريرة فالفيردي، سكنت شباك الحارس إيديرسون، الذي لم يفهم هو وفريقه ما يحدث على أرض الملعب.

أنشيلوتي عاد لمقعده جالسًا بعدما ارتاح للنتيجة، وبيب فعل الأمر ذاته، ولكنه ظل يشرب المياة، وسط مرارة الهزيمة الثقيلة وانعدام الحلول من فريقه.

لم يظهر مانشستر سيتي أي رد فعل، وحتى على مستوى التغييرات، ظل جوارديولا يعاين الأضرار دون أن يحرك ساكنًا لإنقاذ ما يمكن إنقاذه في أرض الملعب التي سيطر عليها ريال مدريد بالطول والعرض.

كاد فينيسيوس أن يسجل الرابع في الدقيقة 70 بعد تمريرة مبابي ولكن خوسانوف، منع البرازيلي في اللحظة الأخيرة.

قبل أقل من ربع ساعة على النهاية، دخل كوفاسيتش ومكاتي بدلًا من جوندوجان وفودين، في نفس الوقت الذي أقحم أنشيلوتي إبراهيم دياز مكان مبابي، وكامافينجا في مكان سيبايوس، عند الدقيقة 78.

سيطر مانشستر سيتي على ما تبقى من المباراة، لكنه استحواذ سلبي للغاية، دون تهديد حقيقي على مرمى الحارس تيبو كورتوا.

في الدقيقة 91، سدد مرموش مخالفة رائعة ارتطمت بالعارضة، ووجدت نيكو جونزاليس الذي سجل هدف مانشستر سيتي الأول لكنه لم يكن كافيًا أبدًا، وجاء في وقت متأخر.

انتهت المباراة وأطلق الحكم كوفاتش صافرته، ليعلن خروج مانشستر سيتي، ليفشل في عبور دور الـ16، ويودع البطولة، ويفسح الطريق أمام حامل اللقب لمواصلة رحلة الدفاع عن لقبه. أهداف مباراة ريال مدريد ومانشستر سيتي اليوم في دوري أبطال أوروبا

Chelsea have "unplayable" £84m star on their list now instead of Osimhen

Chelsea centre-forward Nicolas Jackson continued his impressive start to the 2024/25 campaign with two goals against West Ham United on Saturday. The Senegal international, who scored 14 goals in the Premier League last season, has produced four goals and two assists in five league matches for the Blues this term.

He looks to be undroppable on current form due to his sublime output in the final third, with the likes of Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho, and Cole Palmer providing him with quality service.

However, the former Villarreal star’s superb goalscoring start to the season has not stopped the club from eyeing up a new striker ahead of the January transfer window.

Latest Chelsea transfer news

According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea are planning to add another centre-forward to Enzo Maresca’s squad after the turn of the year, despite Jackson’s form.

The report claims that the club are in contact with Victor Osimhen’s agent and are considering a move for the Nigeria international, who is currently on loan with Galatasaray in Turkey, but are also eyeing up an alternative option instead. Indeed, the Blues are interested in signing Sporting sensation Viktor Gyokeres as an alternative to the Napoli loanee in January.

Sporting CP strikerViktor Gyokeres.

The outlet reveals that the Sweden international, who has a €100m (£84m) release clause in his contract, is on their wish list of striker targets and is being monitored closely by the club, as he continues to shine in Portugal. The report believes the Blues could well make a serious move for the former Coventry star if they do not go through with a move for Osimhen.

It remains to be seen, though, whether or not Chelsea would be prepared to pay the former Coventry star’s £84m release clause, or if they would look to negotiate a lower fee.

Why Chelsea should sign Gyokeres instead of Osimhen

Viktor or Victor is the question for the Blues ahead of the January transfer window and there is a genuine case for the Swedish version to be the smart choice. The 26-year-old star already has experience in England, with Brighton, Swansea, and Coventry, and may not need as much time to adapt to the physicality of English football, as well as living in the country.

Gyokeres’ form for Sporting also suggests that the potential is there for him to be a better option than Osimhen. He has already racked up a staggering ten goals in six league games this season, compared to the Nigerian forward’s zero goals in two league outings.

As you can see in the table above, an end product monster, he also outperformed the Napoli man at league level during the 2023/24 campaign, with 14 more goals and seven more assists.

Whilst it is difficult to gauge the difference in quality between the Portuguese and Italian top-flights, these statistics do show that the £84m-rated star has been in prolific form and would arrive high on confidence, whereas Osimhen is still looking for his first goal of the campaign.

Therefore, Gyokeres, who was once described as “unplayable” by former teammate Maxime Biamou, could be an exciting and lethal addition to Maresca’s squad.

Ben Curran, Ricardo Vasconcelos star in dominant Northants batting display against Somerset

Pair put on 129 before falling short of well-deserved centuries in 81-run victory

ECB Reporters Network08-Aug-2021

Ben Curran slog-sweeps over midwicket•Getty Images

A dominant Northamptonshire batting display underpinned by an excellent, enterprising century partnership from Ben Curran and Ricardo Vasconcelos provided the foundation for a comprehensive 81-run win over Somerset.The pair put on 129 in 20 overs before both falling short of well-deserved centuries after facing 93 balls. Curran made 94, his highest List A score, while Vasconcelos contributed 88 to set the hosts on course for a big total.With the middle order upping the momentum with some aggressive hitting, Northamptonshire posted a formidable 305 for 6 in a match reduced to 46 overs a side due to rain.Somerset’s top order got bogged down against some disciplined bowling in reply and fell rapidly behind the run rate as they lost four wickets in seven overs. Lewis Goldsworthy though, with an aggressive 80 from just 61 balls, threatened an unlikely revival. He followed a career-best 96 at the Oval on Thursday with a series of cleanly struck blows in a partnership of 120 with skipper Josh Davey (53). Ultimately though, when Goldsworthy was out hit wicket after standing on his stumps, the visitors were left with too much to do.The result topped a special day for Northamptonshire players, fans and past players who gathered to celebrate the life of legendary allrounder David Capel who died last year. In a ceremony the Wantage Road End was renamed the David Capel End in his memory.Northamptonshire’s batters gave little hint of the carnage to come with just five runs coming from their first five overs. Although Sonny Baker made the early breakthrough by removing Emilio Gay, Vasconcelos broke the shackles by taking three boundaries off an over from the same bowler.Curran announced himself with a couple of powerful cut shots before rain forced the players off the field. He picked up where he left off after the resumption with three boundaries from Kasey Aldridge’s first over.Vasconcelos and Curran kept busy, taking quick singles and keeping the pressure on the fielders. Both showed excellent timing with some delicate late dabs and cuts. Vasconcelos took on the short ball too, pulling Marchant de Lange over midwicket before punching him down the ground for four more. The Northamptonshire skipper also reverse swept effectively against the spin of Goldsworthy.Ricardo Vasconcelos swats a pull•Getty Images

When Vascancelos was bowled, Rob Keogh maintained the momentum, taking four boundaries off one Goldsworthy over. Eventually he attempted one big shot too many and was bowled by de Lange for 35.There was to be no let up for Somerset’s bowlers though as Saif Zaib joined Curran in a stand of 56 in just 5.2 overs. Zaib punched powerfully down the ground and pulled another ball over fine leg for six. The boundaries kept coming with a maximum over square leg from Curran before Zaib hit an even bigger six.Zaib was castled by Baker soon afterwards for 29 from just 17 balls but Tom Taylor hit a few more boundaries at the end to underline his all-round potential.A miserly spell from Ben Sanderson set the tone for Northamptonshire with the ball as he conceded just five runs from his initial five-over spell.Somerset could only register 16 runs and a single boundary from the first 10 overs and lost Steve Davies early when he clipped a Jack White delivery to deep square leg.Eddie Byrom looked to regain the initiative before top edging one from Taylor. Sam Young swung Simon Kerrigan for two sixes over long-on but the spinner soon got his revenge by trapping him lbw.Luke Procter, who finished with 3 for 40, seemed to remove any remaining hopes of a Somerset fightback with two wickets in one over. First danger man James Hildreth holed out to deep midwicket before George Bartlett was adjudged lbw to leave Somerset 89 for 5. But that brought Goldsworthy and Davey together and they started to hit the ball cleanly and find the boundary regularly. Once Goldsworthy departed, Simon Kerrigan mopped up the tail to finish with figures of 4 for 48.

£175,000-per-week Chelsea mainstay no longer part of Enzo Maresca’s plans

A £175,000-per-week Chelsea mainstay is no longer part of the club’s long-term plans, despite him starting every single Premier League game under new head coach Enzo Maresca so far.

Players who could leave Chelsea in January or next summer

Maresca has already shown that he’s not afraid to be ruthless in axing players he’s deemed surplus to requirements, no matter their profile.

January bid possible as Chelsea eye "new" striker target in ex-Man City man

Stamford Bridge directors are impressed.

ByEmilio Galantini Oct 2, 2024

Maresca was up front to the press about England international duo Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell over the summer transfer window, admitting at the time that they may be forced to find a new club, as their game-time would be limited under him.

“Brutal? I don’t think so. I try to be honest,” said Maresca on Sterling and Chilwell’s futures at Chelsea in August.

“I can repeat again if it’s not clear: I spoke with Raheem before the City game. I said he is going to struggle to get minutes with us and this is the reason why he is out of the squad. With Chilly, I said he is a lovely guy, but he is going to struggle because of his position. He is going to struggle. If you define this as brutal, it’s up to you to decide. For me, it’s not brutal, it’s just honest.”

Since then, Sterling has sealed a season-long loan move to Arsenal, with Chilwell still at Chelsea but likely to leave in January. Elsewhere in the squad, a trio of other players have been linked with the Stamford Bridge exit door in 2025.

Chelsea are ready to sell Benoit Badiashile, who is yet to make a single appearance this season, with fellow Frenchman Axel Disasi also not part of Maresca’s plans.

Mykhailo Mudryk could be forced to quit Chelsea in the winter too, as uncertainty surrounds the Ukraine star’s future and BlueCo weigh up potential replacements like Veliz Sarsfield winger Thiago Fernandez.

These names don’t come as much of a surprise given their lack of inclusion so far this season, but Chelsea have since adopted a head-turning stance on one of their mainstay players.

Marc Cucurella no longer part of Chelsea's long-term plans

According to a report in The Boot Room this week, £175,000-per-week defender Marc Cucurella could be shown the door as well.

Indeed, it is believed Cucurella is no longer part of Chelsea’s long-term plans, with the indication being he could eventually be sold alongside the likes of Chilwell and Badiashile as Maresca’s side eye up a move for AC Milan star Theo Hernandez.

The Spain international, who impressed at Euro 2024 for the eventual champions, has started every single Premier League match so far and put in some solid displays at full-back in place of Chilwell.

This report therefore comes as quite a shock when factoring in just how often he’s been utilised by Maresca so far, not to mention how the Italian has praised his left-back as a key asset.

“Marc [Cucurella] is very important,” said Maresca on Cucurella very recently.

“Marc has something that you sometimes struggle to find in players. He is good and he is making the players around him good because he is a guy who is always talking, always demanding. If you can have five, six or seven players like Marc in your team, who are always talking about improving the rest, it’s very important. So I’m very happy with Marc.”

Telão em campo, goleiros integrados e reunião com trio: os impactos iniciais de Paulo Sousa no Flamengo

MatériaMais Notícias

O treino desta quarta-feira no Ninho do Urubu, iniciado às 8h, conforme solicitado por Paulo Sousa, marcou um acontecimento inédito sob o comando do português: as instruções por telão, instalado ontem, enquanto os jogadores se hidratavam. No vídeo divulgado pelo Flamengo, é possível ver que os goleiros também receberam instruções junto aos companheiros de linha.

Por falar nos goleiros, os mesmos participaram de uma atividade com o elenco, em que era necessário dar toques rápidos e se deslocar em velocidade, ilustrando que o novo comandante exige boa capacidade de construção com os pés de um camisa 1, tido por Sousa como essencial em seu modelo de jogo.

O treino desta quarta foi o segundo em que Paulo Sousa teve a oportunidade de comandar o plantel – que tem ido tomar café da manhã no CT – no gramado. E, na última terça, depois da atividade principal e seguindo seus impactos iniciais, o português teve a primeira de uma série de conversas setorizadas.

Paulo Sousaconversou com o trio de atacantes Gabigol, Bruno Henrique e Pedro e deu orientações com o auxílio de uma lousa tática, inclusive, para explanar os seus métodos e ideias de jogo quanto à fase ofensiva.

Na entrevista coletiva, Sousa chegou a comentar sobre a possiblidade dos três atuarem juntos no comando de ataque:

-Temos três avançados muito fortes. Mesmo na seleção (Polônia), integrei três atacantes em vários jogos. Penso também em fazer isso em vários jogos desde o início, trabalhando com uma ideia comum e clara

O Flamengo ainda não definiu quando Paulo Sousa estreará com o time titular na temporada. Nos primeiros jogos do Carioca, a equipe será comandada por Fabio Matias, cujo grupo alternativo tem treinadoà parte – ou em outro período, o que não ocorreu nesta manhã, em que ocorreu treino no campo 4 do Ninho.
