'É campeão!' Kazim encerra jejum, Timão vence e torcida solta o grito

MatériaMais Notícias

Assim como já havia ocorrido na última quarta-feira, o Corinthians contou com um novo artilheiro no Brasileirão para vencer neste sábado. O atacante Kazim encerrou o jejum que durava desde o dia 18 de fevereiro ao marcar o gol da vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Avaí, pela 34ª rodada.

Com o resultado, o Corinthians segue com chances de garantir o título brasileiro na quarta-feira. Para isso, o Timão precisa vencer o Fluminense, em Itaquera, e ver o Grêmio tropeçar em um dos dois próximos jogos, contra Vitória e São Paulo.

Para levantar o troféu sem depender de outros resultados, o Timão só precisa somar mais cinco pontos. Com esse cenário, a torcida não se aguentou e cantou “é, campeão” nos minutos finais da partida. Antes, já haviam avisado: “começa a fazer festa que o hepta vem aí”.

Se na quarta-feira passada o herói foi Giovanni Augusto, que voltou a marcar depois de mais de um ano e deu a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Atlético-PR, neste sábado quem brilhou foi Kazim. Substituto do artilheiro Jô, suspenso, o “Gringo da Favela” mandou de peito, após cruzamento de Guilherme Arana, aos três minutos do segundo tempo.

Foi o gol que deu justiça à partida. Durante toda a etapa inicial o Corinthians pressionou e chegou a levar perigo, enquanto o Avaí praticamente não conseguia passar do meio de campo. Todo fechado, o time catarinense não tinha velocidade para contragolpear e ainda abusava dos erros de passes.

O Corinthians, com o título bem perto, não mostrou ansiedade para construir o resultado. A equipe trabalhava bem a bola, principalmente pelo lado direito, com Fagner e Romero. Quem destoava era Rodriguinho, que não teve uma boa atuação e mesmo assim saiu aplaudido no segundo tempo. Isso só comprova como a Fiel está tranquila à espera do título.

No segundo tempo, mesmo após o gol, o Avaí não mostrava forças para buscar o empate. O time errou muitos passes e só tinha lampejos de criatividade quando Marquinhos pegava na bola. Não é à toa que a equipe é penúltima colocada na tabela.

Já o Timão novamente mostrou que é praticamente impossível o título escapar. Com o apoio da torcida, a equipe foi sólida e não deu brechas para a zebra aparecer em Itaquera.

Neste domingo, o Corinthians secará o Grêmio para tentar garantir o título em casa, na quarta-feira. O título parece ser só questão de tempo…

Marcus North confident he's the man at No. 6

Marcus North has defended his position as Australia’s Test No. 6 and will use the next few weeks in Sheffield Shield cricket to try to regain his best form ahead of the tour of New Zealand

Things haven’t gone Marcus North’s way this summer•Getty Images

Marcus North has defended his position as Australia’s Test No. 6 and will use the next few weeks in Sheffield Shield cricket to try to regain his best form ahead of the tour of New Zealand. North is the only one of Australia’s batting line-up who failed to fire against Pakistan and he finished the summer with 207 runs at 23 from six Tests.North is not part of Australia’s one-day plans, so he can use the next few weeks to work on his first-class game before the two Tests in New Zealand in March. He hoped his strong performances in his debut series in South Africa and then in the Ashes would keep him in the selectors’ plans.”I think I’ve proven that [I should be the Test No. 6] against South Africa and England, and showed glimpses against the West Indies,” North told AAP. “I feel that I’m the man and that I bring good balance to the side with my bowling, even though I didn’t get much of a go at [it] this summer.”I just want to go back to make some runs and hopefully make sure I’m on the New Zealand tour. I would have liked to definitely score more runs. The series against the West Indies wasn’t too bad, but Pakistan was pretty disappointing and lean for me.”Ricky Ponting said after the Hobart Test that North was not a weak link in the side and hoped he would be part of the starting line-up for the first Test against New Zealand in Wellington. North is likely to have three Sheffield Shield games to regain his touch before the trip.”It’s always nice to be supported publicly,” North said. “I know that I have the backing of my team-mates and the skipper behind the change-room door, but for it to be said in the media is quite nice. The good thing is that they [the selectors] are backing me as well.”Before the Test match I had a chat to them and they are confident, like I am, that I’m feeling good and it’s just a matter of time. Everyone goes through a little bit of a down time in their career and it has been my turn over the last month.”

Celtic: Hoops could look at Bevis Mugabi

Celtic have been linked with a January swoop for Motherwell defender Bevis Mugabi, according to The Scotsman’s Andrew Smith.

The Lowdown: Mugabi profiled

The Uganda defender, who once claimed he had Liverpool winger Sadio Mane in his ‘pocket’ during an international clash, has been at Fir Park since 2019. The 26-year-old has made 57 appearances for the club, 19 of which have come during the current campaign.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-20/” title=”Celtic updates!!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

A 12-cap Uganda international, the 6 foot 1 beast is primarily a centre-back who can also play as a right-back and was previously on the books at Southampton.

The Latest: Parkhead links

Smith shared a story for The Scotsman on Saturday morning, assessing what the Hoops may now do in the January window following their triple Japanese swoop.

He claimed that Ange Postecoglou could look to add to his defensive options, with interest in Mugabi emerging.

The Verdict: Is he needed?

With Christopher Jullien set to make a long-awaited return following the international break, a move for Mugabi doesn’t seem to be pivotal at this moment in time.

When the Frenchman returns, Postecoglou will have six centre-backs to call upon, all of whom could be permanent players should Cameron Carter-Vickers’ loan spell turn into a full-time switch over the coming weeks.

That should be plenty for Postecoglou, so perhaps he and new CEO Michael Nicholson should look elsewhere when it comes to any further winter additions.

All-round Banks downs Windwards

A round-up of the fourth day’s action in the fifth round of matches of the 2009-10 Regional Four-Day Competition

Cricinfo staff16-Feb-2010Having played a leading role in the previous three days at the Bourda, there was perhaps little surprise that Omari Banks was the man to lift Leewards Islands to victory over Windward Islands on the fourth. Banks’ outstanding match culminated with him taking a six-wicket haul on the final day to send Windwards crashing to 266 all out in pursuit of a target of 320. His heroics ensured Leewards needed just over a session to post their first win of the tournament ….Banks – who took seven wickets in the first innings – took four to finish with figures of 6 for 113 and make it a match bag of 13 for 154, to go with innings of 30 and 57 with the bat. Windwards lost their last six wickets for 136 runs, with Andre Fletcher (80) and Kenroy Peters (52) the main contributors. Nelon Pascal, the nightwatchman, added just a single run to his name before he stabbed at a delivery from Banks and popped a catch to Montcin Hodge at 137 for 5. Banks then broke a 42-run seventh-wicket partnership by trapping Donwell Hector lbw for 15. Next to go was Rawl Lewis, who was brilliantly held at silly mid-off by Steve Liburd, also off Banks. The next two wickets fell for ten runs and even a 71-run association for the final wicket was not enough.Kevin Stoute was the main man on the final day at the Albion Sports Complex, helping Barbados beat Guyana by 58 runs. The hosts, chasing 329 to win, resumed on 59 for 3 and were bowled out for 270 about five minutes before tea with Stoute’s spell of thre for 15 from 5.4 overs being decisive.Suliemann Benn had given Barbados an early lift by dismissing Royston Crandon without a run added to Guyana’s score, and Corey Edwards sent back the nightwatchman Davendra Bishoosoon after. It became 85 for 6 when Edwards trapped for 6, but stands of 52 and 93 for the next two wickets evened the contest. From 158 for 7 at lunch, Guyana progressed through Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Zaheer Mohamed; Barbados were let down by their rookie wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich, who dropped two catches and regularly fumbled the ball.Then came the decisive spell. Stoute was called back to bowl the 65th over and got Chanderpaul to top-edged a catch to Dowrich for 77, and in the 67th bowled Veerasammy Permaul. His third wicket signaled the end for Guyana. With their third win of the tournament Barbados are in second place with 45 points, three behind leaders Jamaica, while Guyana sit at the bottom of the pile with seven. Tino Best was named Man of the Match for his six wickets in Guyana’s first innings.A career-best spell of bowling from Tamar Lambert took tournament leaders Jamaica to a 29-run win over Combined Campuses & Colleges at the Guyana National Stadium. CCC needed 91 to win on day four with six wickets in hand but Lambert turned in a captain’s performance to snub their hopes of a win. He began by dismissing Floyd Reifer early in the day, lofting down to long-on where David Bernand clutched a superb running catch, and then broke a 47-run stand by dismissing Kyle Corbin and Kevin McClean in quick succession. CCC completely folded thereafter, losing five wickets for 11 runs. Fittingly, Lambert took the last wicket; his figures of 8 for 42 from 31.1 overs were significantly better than his previous best, 4 for 44 against Barbados three seasons ago.

أوليفر كان يعترف: بايرن ميونخ فكر في التعاقد مع كريستيانو رونالدو

اعترف أوليفر كان الرئيس التنفيذي لنادي بايرن ميونخ، أن الفريق الألماني، ناقش إمكانية التعاقد مع الدولي البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو مهاجم مانشستر يونايتد.

قائد المنتخب البرتغالي أراد الرحيل في الصيف الماضي عن مانشستر يونايتد للعب بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، وارتبط بالانتقال إلى العديد من الأندية أبرزها بايرن ميونخ.

أوليفر كان الرئيس التنفيذي لـ بايرن ميونخ، صرّح لصحيفة “سبورت بيلد” الألمانية: “لقد ناقشنا لفترة وجيزة امكانية التعاقد مع كريستيانو رونالدو”.

وأضاف: “ربما بوروسيا دورتموند أيضًا ناقش امكنية التعاقد مع كريستيانو رونالدو، فهو بالتأكيد إضافة كبيرة للدوري الألماني”.

وأشار: “النجوم الكبار مثل كريستيانو رونالدو عامل كبير ومهم لجذب الانتباه إلى الدوري الألماني، إنه أحد أعظم النجوم في العقد الماضي، لكننا سرعان ما رفضنا ذلك”.

كريستيانو رونالدو ينتهي عقده مع مانشستر يونايتد بنهاية هذا الموسم، وفي حالة عدم التأهل إلى دوري الأبطال، سيسعى البرتغالي للخروج من أجل العودة للبطولة التي يتصدر ترتيب الهدافين بها تاريخيًا.

Molecada do Botafogo tem ano de poucos gols e muitas perdas

MatériaMais Notícias

Há oito dias, o Botafogo era campeão da Taça Otávio Pinto Guimarães, a OPG, a segunda na hierarquia estadual. Desde 2016, este é o quarto título do Glorioso no Sub-20 e a sexta final. O desempenho faz com que o torcedor se questione: a molecada está vingando nos profissionais?

Para medir um pouco a relevância nesta temporada, o Botafogo marcou 16 gols de jovens vindos da base. A metade deles saiu dos pés do atacante Sassá. Leandrinho, Fernandes e Vinicius Tanque têm dois cada um. Os zagueiros Marcelo e Igor Rabello, o último a marcar, contra o Corinthians, fecham a lista.

Pouco ou muito?

Em comparação com os outros três times do Rio, o Botafogo é o lanterna no quesito gols de jogadores da base. O Fluminense lidera, com 43 dos ‘Moleques de Xerém’. O Flamengo vem atrás, com 20 bolas nas redes de ‘craques feitos em casa’. Já o Vasco soma 17.

O Alvinegro, entre os cariocas, também é o último no quesito média de gols da base em relação ao total de gols na temporada. O Fluminense também está em primeiro, com 0,37. O Vasco é o segundo, com 0,27. O Fla vem em terceiro, com 0,16, e o Glorioso tem 0,08. Outra comparação mostra que o Botafogo anda em débito: No ano passado, os garotos fizeram 35 gols e, em 2015, foram 21.

Se por um lado os números indicam uma queda no desempenho dos meninos da base, o torcedor tem motivos para se alegrar: isso pode significar que o time tem outros artifícios para chegar ao gol. E ainda há que se destacar: o técnico Jair Ventura não pôde contar em bom tempo da temporada com Bochecha, promovido este ano, e Leandrinho, machucados, além de Emerson, afastado após acertar com o Palmeiras. Sassá foi para o Cruzeiro e o comandante só tem um titular que veio da base: Igor Rabello, o que também ajuda a explicar os maus números.

Mateta likely to leave CPFC in January

Crystal Palace are having a quiet transfer window so far, with their team currently intact for the challenges of the second half of the season as Patrick Vieira attempts to compete for a top-half finish, but with three weeks left until the window closes, they could be about to lose one of their players.

What’s the word?

Journalist, Tom Barclay, has given his perspective on the current loan situation that Jean-Philippe Mateta finds himself in at Crystal Palace, and it doesn’t look like it’s good news for Palace.

Barclay told GIVEMESPORT:

“I know Mateta scored the other day, but unless he goes on an incredible run, I’m not convinced that Vieira is convinced by him, so I’m expecting him to return from his loan rather than Palace sign him permanently.”

Mateta was acquired on loan by the London club after he was putting in impressive performances for his parent club Mainz at the beginning of last season, with ten goals and one assist that had caught former Palace manager, Roy Hodgson’s eye, who signed the 24-year-old on an 18-month loan with the club last January.

Fans may be concerned

Vieira is clearly not convinced by the Frenchman’s performances so far in his presence since joining the club as head coach in the summer, and has only given Mateta two Premier League starts this season.

With rumours that the loan could be cut short fans have taken to social media to slam the potential decision to let him return five months early to his Bundesliga club. One supporter tweeted:

“I think we should just keep Mateta and forget about Nketiah and keep the money for positions that need improvements.”

The 30k-per-week star put in a fantastic performance against Milwall at the weekend in the FA Cup game, where in the 54 minutes played he scored the winning goal in the 58th minute to beat their rivals 2-1, as well as offering up some clinical play, with a fantastic pass accuracy of 93% during his opportunity for minutes on the pitch, according to SofaScore.

As a result, it seems perplexing that just as he begins to find form, he’s set to head back to his parent club.

Indeed, the supporter above makes a valid point that money on a potential successor could be better spent on other areas of the team that need improving, including the full-back areas where they are strapped for depth.

Although he’s not impressed since landing in London, fans could be concerned by the ongoing situation surrounding Mateta. After all, they’d just be losing a player and then having to fork out what could be quite a considerable sum to find a replacement.

The French manager has a big decision to make in a short amount of time on the future of his 24-year-old forward, as Saint Etienne are rumoured to be interested in swooping to offer him a loan deal this January.

With Palace linked to signing Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah, Vieira clearly needs to make a quick decision on how he intends to see out the strike force of the side for the rest of the season.

AVFC must complete Ramsey swoop

Having secured a loan deal for Philippe Coutinho and now in reported negotiations for the signing of Everton left-back Lucas Digne, Aston Villa’s owners and manager Steven Gerrard have made their intentions clear in the early stages of the current January transfer window about wanting to strengthen their squad.

In terms of what other potential transfer deals could take place at the Midlands club in the coming weeks, one area that has been touted as an area that Gerrard would want to strengthen is midfield.

With this in mind, one potential option that Villa could look to sign and have been linked with in the past is Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey, who has been labelled as an “outgoing player” from the Italian club this month by manager Max Allegri.

Before jetting off to Juventus back in the 2019 summer transfer window, the Welshman made a total of 371 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions, scoring 65 goals, providing 65 assists and winning three FA Cups along the way.

In the Premier League, the “intelligent” midfielder, as labelled by Juventus teammate Federico Chiesa, made 262 appearances and managed to rack up a total of 40 goals and 51 assists (91 in total), not only highlighting how much experience he has in the top division but also how much of an attacking threat he can be from midfield.

Now that Juventus are apparently willing to let the 31-year-old leave this month, this could pave the way for Villa to secure a solid midfield option that should be able to hit the ground running in the Premier League given his previous experience.

As well as his experience that could be useful for some of Villa’s younger players such as Carney Chukwuemeka, Jacob Ramsey and Cameron Archer, his deadliness in front of goal could give Gerrard the opportunity to create a scary midfield duo alongside John McGinn.

The Scot has also shown his attacking capabilities this season with three goals and two assists in the Premier League, leaving only Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings with more goal contributions.

In addition to his very useful goals and assists, McGinn has shown with his overall performances this season how much of a vital player he is for Villa with a season rating of 7.14/10 from WhoScored, making him their highest-rated player.

Moving forward, if Villa are willing to negotiate a deal for Ramsey this month, this could give Gerrard’s side that added attacking dimension in midfield that could push them to the top half of the table.

Combine Ramsey with McGinn and the Midlands outfit would surely soar up the table.
