Após perder o primeiro jogo da final do Estadual, para o arquirrival Remo, por 2 a 1, o Paysandu já começa a prepraração para o jogo de volta, neste domingo, às 16:00. O zagueiro Diego Ivo e o volante Nando Carandina continuam vetados para a grande final. A lista de atletas no departamento médico preocupa o técnico Dado Cavalcanti.

Além de Diego e Nando, saíram lesionados do último jogo, o volante Cáceres e o atacante Cassiano, um dos principais jogadores e artilheiro da equipe na temporada, com 11 gols em 19 jogos. O volante Renato Augusto permanece lesionado e o zagueiro Fernando Timbó tem ido constantemente ao departamento médico. O lateral-direito Maicon Silva também está fora do confronto, mas não por lesão e sim por suspensão por conta de acúmulo de cartões amarelos.

Um dos motivos para tantas lesões é a sequência de jogos feitas pelo Papão no Campeonato Paranese e na Copa Verde. A previsão é de que o treinador Dado Cavalcanti conte com o retorno de Nando Carandina e Diego Ivo, jogadores fundamentais e titulares da equipe.

Apesar da derrota e das lesões, o elenco do Paysandu segue confiante. No ano passado, a situação foi parecida. O Paysandu perdeu uma partida e empatou uma na fase de classificação. Na final, após empate em 1 a 1, conseguiu ser campeão ao vencer o Remo por 2 a 1, com dois gols do atacante Bergson, sendo o gol do título feito no último minuto do segundo tempo. O atacante Cassiano ressaltou a confiança do elenco.

– Temos chances de reverter o quadro. Enfrentaremos uma equipe forte, que vem provando isso durante a temporada, mas estamos preparados. Vamos lutar muito para vencer o jogo e para conquistar o título estadual deste ano – disse o atacante

Caso repite esse placar, o título do Paraense vai ser decidido nos pênaltis. Para evitar que isso aconteça, o Papão precisa vencer o rival por dois gols de diferença. A última vez que isso aconteceu foi em 2016, pelo jogo de volta da semifinal da Copa Verde, quando o Paysandu venceu o Remo por 4 a 2.

– O nosso elenco é muito experiente e isso faz a diferença em uma decisão como essa. Temos que ter muita tranquilidade durante os noventa minutos e, principalmente, eficiência tática para conquistarmos o título. É o jogo do ano para a nossa equipe, sem dúvida – finalizou Cassiano

According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is a ‘big fan’ of reported transfer target Lautaro Martinez, which could mean that Spurs attempt to sign him during the summer.

The Lowdown: Martinez facing uncertain future

The Lilywhites were heavily linked with a £60m move for the 24-year-old last summer, but despite talks being held with Inter Milan over a potential switch, a deal wasn’t able to be completed because Romelu Lukaku was leaving to join Chelsea, as the Serie A champions wouldn’t allow both of their main strikers to depart.

As a result, the Argentine ended up committing his future to the Nerazzurri and put pen to paper on a new five-year contract which would keep him at the San Siro until at least 2026.

However, due to Inter’s current financial problems, it has been reported by The Times that they are now open to letting Martinez go and are said to have stuck a £70m price tag on him.

The Latest: Conte a big admirer of Martinez

Speaking to GiveMeSport, O’Rourke revealed that Conte has always kept an eye on the Argentina forward amid claims that Spurs’ interest might be reignited.

The journalist said: “He’s a long-term target of Antonio Conte, Lautaro Martinez. He’s worked with him already at Inter Milan, he’s a big fan of him. Spurs have also shown previous interest in Martinez.”

The Verdict: Quality competition for Kane

The 37-cap international has enjoyed a highly successful spell during his time at Inter, with a total of 95 goal contributions in 177 appearances to date, as per Transfermarkt.

Once dubbed a “spectacular” player by his Argentina team-mate and Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi, Martinez could prove to be the perfect attacking partner and provide some serious competition for Harry Kane, who is the only senior centre-forward in Spurs’ first-team squad at the moment.

The 5 foot 7 talisman worked under Conte during the latter’s two-year spell in charge of the Nerazzurri, so the chances of a reunion this summer very much appear to be a possibility, judging by that pre-existing relationship and O’Rourke’s comments above.

Scorecard
Graeme Swann shut down South Australia’s tail with four wickets•Getty Images

England had plenty of reasons to smile after a strong second day against South Australia when most of their main men contributed. Graeme Swann’s second four-wicket collection of the trip helped finish off the hosts for 221 after James Anderson had removed three of the top six, while Stuart Broad and Steven Finn also had some success.Andrew Strauss finished the day with a rollicking 56 as England reached 0 for 94, a lead of 67, and the side was also boosted by Alastair Cook being not out on 37. Cook, the vice-captain, has struggled in the early stages of the trip and is desperately chasing a big score to feel settled before the opening Test on November 25. Strauss has no such worries and bashed three sixes and five fours, with his fifty coming at almost a run a ball.Swann was wicket-less for his first 17 overs but then captured four victims, giving up 68 runs from 22.4 overs. Aiden Blizzard (49) went sweeping, Tim Lang hit to mid-on, Ben Edmondson was lbw and Peter George, the No.11, was stumped to end the innings.Rain delayed the start of play by an hour and South Australia were in difficulty soon after resuming at 0 for 26. James Smith nicked Broad to Matt Prior the ball before Anderson had Daniel Harris caught by Jonathan Trott at square leg. Trott later left for treatment on his shoulder after jarring it attempting a catch on the boundary, but returned to the field in good health.Finn continues to improve and delivered a strong spell before lunch in which he forced Callum Ferguson to miscue a pull shot on 35, and he returned later in the day to bowl Jake Haberfield. Anderson watched Michael Klinger cut hard to Kevin Pietersen at point and followed up by clipping Graham Manou’s glove on the way to Strauss at first slip.

Com duas vitórias em dois jogos na bagagem, Alberto Valentim terá o seu primeiro teste de ferro no próximo sábado, dia do clássico contra o Flamengo, no Estádio Nilton Santos. Confirmado na última segunda, o palco do confronto, a ser disputado pela terceira rodada da Taça Rio, chama a atenção pelo fato de o mando de campo ser do Rubro-Negro.

Além de refletir tempos de paz na relação entre os clubes, o jogo traz uma memória relevante para o torcedor alvinegro. No dia 3 de março, quando ocorrerá o duelo, completará cinco anos da última vitória do Botafogo sobre o Flamengo em seu estádio. Isso pelo Campeonato Carioca, pois, no ano passado, venceu o time da Gávea pelo Brasileirão.

Em 2013, assim como neste sábado, o mando também pertencia ao Flamengo, que defendia um tabu de quase três anos sem ser derrotado pelo Botafogo. Na ocasião, visitante em sua própria casa, o Glorioso venceu por 2 a 0, com gols deJúlio César e Vitinho, sob o comando deOswaldo de Oliveira.

Diferente do próximo compromisso, o daquela época foi válido pela Taça Guanabara. Mais precisamente, pela semifinal da Taça Guanabara, vencida pelo próprio Botafogo, que viria a ser campeão no Carioca daquele ano, pois também levantou a Taça Rio. Um dos líderes do vencedor elenco de 2013, Bolívar comentou sobre o peso que teve a vitória contra o Fla.

– Sabíamos que seria muito difícil bater o Flamengo aquele dia. Sempre é, mas a nossa equipe estava muito segura em campo. Aquele jogo definiu muito a nossa temporada, pois o Oswaldo ainda estava desenhando a escalação. Vencer ali foi bastante importante – disse Bolívar, em conversa ao LANCE!.

É claro que o embate do próximo dia 3 não decide classificação ou título. No entanto, sobretudo para dar cancha ao início de trabalho de Valentim, é fundamental que o Botafogo repita o time de 2013, bata o Rubro-Negro, que possivelmente terá reservas em campo por conta da estreia na Libertadores (nesta quarta), e siga a boa sequência na Taça Rio.

Além do já citado, é fundamental que o Botafogo “versão 2.0” mostre que a atuação contra o próprio Flamengo no primeiro turno, há cerca de duas semanas, está no passado e que o futuro com Valentim é, de fato, promissor.

Relembre o time de 2013, que bateu o Fla no Nilton Santos

Entraram: André Bahia, Gabriel e Vitinho.

História do clássico de 3/3/2013

É provável que Jefferson, recuperado de lesão, volte a ser relacionado para o jogo deste sábado. Já no de cinco anos atrás, o goleiro foi o destaque em campo, quando freou a reação do Flamengo, brilhou com grandes defesas eainda puxou o contra-ataque do segundo gol, marcado por Vitinho.

Pode se dizer que aquela vitória do Botafogo foi marcante eimplacável do primeiro ao último minuto. A última, cabe destacar,havia sido conquistada em abril de 2010, no 2 a 1 da cavadinha de Loco Abreu que garantiu a Taça Rio e o título estadual no Maracanã.

Um outro fator que colaborou para a relevância do triunfo foi que Zico completara 60 anos de idade naquele dia, por fim bordado de preto e branco.

Aston Villa left-back Lucas Digne could miss the rest of the Premier League season after sustaining a collar bone injury in Saturday’s 4-0 defeat to Tottenham at Villa Park.

What’s the story?

The Frenchman suffered a nasty-looking collarbone injury in the defeat to Spurs that manager Steven Gerrard fears could sideline the 28-year-old for the remainder of the campaign.

Gerrard said to the media after the game: “I’m concerned and worried about it because he’s in a sling right now. We’ve got a collarbone issue rather than a shoulder issue. If it’s what we fear, it could be season over.

“We’ll analyse it in the next 24 hours in terms of scans and we’ll have a medical report on it but the doctors have said they are worried and concerned and that tells you the story.”

It’s not the first injury Digne has suffered since making the move from Everton in January with the Frenchman’s whole campaign being full of setbacks.

Supporters will be gutted

Although Digne was omitted from the Everton team by former manager Rafa Benitez for the final four games of his time at Goodison Park, the signing of the left-back was certainly exciting for Villa fans.

The Frenchman, who was purchased for £25m, has an excellent pedigree having earned 44 senior caps for France as well as playing for both PSG and Barcelona.

Moreover, Digne averages 1.7 tackles, 1.1 interceptions and 1.9 clearances per game as well as having a 77% passing accuracy.

However, since making the move to the West Midlands, a tricky season for the 28-year-old has been made worse with numerous injury setbacks, making settling into the side tricky for Digne.

Saturday was the third time the left-back has had to be withdrawn from a game due to injury since joining Aston Villa, all of which being separate issues.

Moreover, with Matt Targett currently on loan at Newcastle United, Gerrard is now short of options at left-back with 36-year-old Ashley Young the only other alternative.

Villa have already lost their last four matches in the league so without Digne, it could mean dire consequences for the rest of the season.

Leeds United will need to reduce their €20m (£16.7m) asking price for Helder Costa in order for Valencia to sign him permanently, according to a new report.

The Lowdown: Costa on loan at Valencia

The Portuguese was deemed surplus to requirements by Marcelo Bielsa last summer, with numerous attacking players ahead of him in the pecking order at Elland Road.

Costa hasn’t set the world alight at Valencia this season either, scoring no goals and registering just one assist in 15 La Liga appearances to date.

It seems unlikely that Leeds envisage any kind of future for the 28-year-old, and a fresh update has now emerged regarding his situation with his parent club.

[freshpress-quiz id=“383507″]

The Latest: Valencia unwilling to pay Costa’s asking price

According to ElDesmarque Valencia [via Sport Witness], Valencia are looking at making some loan deals permanently but Costa’s situation needs to change.

It is claimed that they aren’t willing to pay €20m (£16.7m) for his services and the Whites will ‘need to negotiate’ the fee due to the current amount being ‘inaccessible’ for the La Liga outfit.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-united-news-34/” title=”Latest Leeds United news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Reduce the fee and take the money

It may not be ideal for Leeds having to drop their asking price, but receiving a healthy fee for Costa would still be a bonus, considering that he seems to have no future at the Yorkshire club and is valued at just £7.2m by Transfermarkt.

That money could be used on players who Bielsa sees as future signings rather than unwanted individuals, hopefully strengthening the depth within the Argentine’s squad.

Costa has had his moments for Leeds, scoring eight goals and chipping in with 11 assists in 71 matches for the Whites – also, he was once hailed as ‘immense’ by his former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo – but the time has come to bring an end to his career at Elland Road, having netted only once for the first team since September 2020.

Everton have had a difficult season in the Premier League this time around, having won just seven of their 27 played games, drawing four and losing 16 along the way.

One other worrying factor of their campaign is the lack of goals they’ve managed to score, with the Toffees finding the back of the net just 29 times, leaving only Norwich City, Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion with fewer goals.

This could be down to the fact that the Merseyside club have had to go through the majority of the season with striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the sidelines through injury after he managed to score 16 league goals in the previous campaign.

To make things worse for Frank Lampard’s side, recent reports have claimed that the club are willing to sell their English striker in the summer, with fellow Premier League sides Arsenal and West Ham United reportedly interested in him.

With that in mind, if Everton were to cash in on the 25-year-old in the coming months, this could pave the way for the club to make a swoop for another striker that they have been recently mentioned with.

According to a recent report from Spanish media outlet AS (via TEAMtalk) Real Madrid are looking to get rid of Luka Jovic in the summer, with Everton being mentioned as a potentially interested party to sign the striker, who has been dubbed as “magical” by Lionel Messi.

Having scored just three goals in 49 appearances for the La Liga giants since his arrival back in the 2019 summer transfer window, it’s easy to see why they would be looking to move the 24-year-old on.

However, having found the back of the net 40 times in 93 appearances with Eintracht Frankfurt, the £16.2m-rated ace has shown that he is capable of being a consistent goalscorer, which is something that the Toffees have desperately needed in this campaign.

Moving forward, if Calvert-Lewin does end up making a move away from Goodison Park this summer, then Farhad Moshiri could then use the money raised for the Englishman to potentially give Jovic the chance to put an end to his nightmare in Madrid and have a go at playing in the Premier League, which could be a very tempting prospect for the Serbian.

From Lampard’s point of view, having a fairly young striker in his ranks that has experience of playing across Europe and scoring goals that can be a long-term feature at the club, this should be a dream deal for the club to complete.

Having been fairly active in the previous January transfer window, bringing in the likes of Dele Alli, Donny van de Beek, Nathan Patterson, Vitaliy Mykolenko and Anwar El Ghazi, Everton certainly have the means to back their managed once again in the summer, if they manage to avoid getting relegated.

The ongoing rumoured feud between Rafa Benitez and Lucas Digne at Everton has further encouraged more rumours to develop surrounding the left back’s future at Goodison Park, especially with the transfer window opening in a few days time.

What’s the word?

According to Italian news outlet, TuttoJuve, Juventus could offer a swap deal of Aaron Ramsey to Everton in exchange for Digne during the January transfer window.

However, according to the report this would only be a short term loan until the end of the season, to help Juventus to cover their position for the rest of the season and get the Welshman’s salary off the wage bill at the Italian club.

Ramsey can’t get into the Juventus team with just two appearances in the Serie A this season so far, with the club making it no secret that they are interested in offers for the 31-year-old, who is currently on a whopping £175K a week.

Digne has now not featured in the last three games for Everton, with Benitez asked recently in a press conference if he believes that the 28-year-old was ill after he pulled out of the squad last minute, the Toffees boss responded;

“It is not that I believe or not,”

“I have been in football for so many years and I have so many experiences similar to this one and it is a question of making a decision.

“I have to be sure that the players that will be there tomorrow want to be there and they want to fight for the club and that’s it.”

Is it the right move?

There is no doubt that Ramsey has talent, and when he is not injured, he has proven at the clubs he has played at that he can offer performances at the highest level, playing in the Champions League for both Arsenal and Juventus with 78 appearances in the competition over his career, however, if it is at the cost of losing Digne it may not be worth it.

Digne has been with Everton since the Summer of 2018 when he joined the club from Barcelona and has since offered 127 appearances, six goals and an impressive 20 assists from his full-back position so far, with Gary Lineker taking to his Twitter account back in 2019 to praise the £27M-rated gem hailing him “quality”;

“What an excellent signing Lucas Digne has been for @Everton. Quality fullback. 👍🏻”

With that being said, a loan deal could be beneficial for Digne’s long term future with the Merseyside club, if he could go away keeping up match fitness with another team, whilst allowing his rumoured feud with Benitez to cool down, going into pre-season in the Summer of 2022 back with Everton, with the opportunity of a fresh start.

The concerns of the foreign players regarding security during the IPL seem to have eased with the league deciding to collaborate with the independent security expert appointed by the player unions from Australia, England and South Africa

Nagraj Gollapudi02-Mar-2010

After nearly a month of wrangling, the concerns of the foreign players regarding security during the IPL seem to have eased with Reg Dickason, the independent security expert appointed by the player unions from Australia, England and South Africa, receiving an official update from the league’s security experts.Tim May, the Federation of International Cricketers Association (FICA) chief, called the development a welcome step in the on-going discussions, which came to a standstill after the IPL’s initial refusal to cooperate.”The one outstanding issue (as) per Reg’s report is that while Nicholls-Steyn’s (the agency in charge of IPL security) plan is sound – it is nothing more than a series of recommendations that are made to local security authorities,” May said. “They may or may not be agreed to by the local authorities.”In fact, that was Dickason’s biggest concern, and he advised the player bodies to make a note of that in their meetings with the players. He also requested the IPL for formal confirmation from the local authorities that the recommendations would be implemented. “Despite media comment from IPL officials that such government assurance has been given – Nicholls-Steyn have advised Reg that they can not get such assurances,” May said.To avoid any further clash, it was suggested by FICA that the IPL needed to declare what the local security was willing to help with. “As a compensating measure we recently requested from IPL a status report of what has or hasn’t been confirmed and proposed a system of communication regarding any shortfalls of the required plans,” May said. “Reg received this update and commitment regarding ongoing communication last (Sunday) evening. This is positive in terms of accurate information that we are able to put in front of the players.”Last week, Dickason dismissed the threat from 313 Brigade, the operational arm of Al Qaeda in Pakistan, after having deemed it credible in his initial assessment report. But, simultaneously, he had asked the IPL to specify to him the security implementations at the various venues.The league officials, however, were unwilling to share any such information and Lalit Modi, the IPL chairman, was vocal in his resistance over sharing security details with the player unions and even warned the foreign players of losing their lucrative IPL contracts in future. Left with no choice, Dickason prepared his original report after reviewing the security plans the IPL sent to various national cricket boards.May had warned the tournament organisers that such stiff resistance could only worsen the issue and even lead to mass withdrawals. FICA had been entrusted by the Australian Cricketers’ Association, England’s Players Cricketers’ Association and the South African Cricketers’ Association to liaise with the IPL.Modi, though, appears to have softened his stance since. “Already a lot of the players are on planes on their way to India and will arrive in the next few days,” he wrote on his Twitter page. “Security is very important to us. We have not had to change our plans, I think it is more a case of the players now understanding them. I think they are more comfortable with the plans being implemented.”
