Uma grande mudança em relação ao amistoso que Botafogo disputará no dia 22 deste mês, às 17h, no Espírito Santo: mudança de local e de adversário. Seria no Estádio Engenheiro Araripe, contra a Desportiva Ferroviária, dona da casa. Agora, será contra o Rio Branco, no Kléber Andrade. Ambos os estádios ficam em Cariacica, na Grande Vitória (ES).

O principal motivo para a alteração foi o estado do gramado do Engenheiro Araripe, que não está em condições razoáveis. O vice-presidente de marketing do Glorioso, Marcio Padilha, confirmou a mudança por meio da conta pessoal dele no Twitter. Quem já havia comprado os ingressos para o jogo previsto poderá utilizá-los no novo duelo.

A partida será o primeiro desafio da temporada do Botafogo, e o único antes da estreia no Campeonato Carioca, no dia 25, contra o Madureira. A delegação alvinegra vai fazer a pré-temporada no China Park, em Domingos Martins (ES) entre os dias 17 e 24.

Com a alteração, o Alvinegro volta ao estádio onde disputou o amistoso da pré-temporada passada. Por outro lado, perde a oportunidade de dar o troco na equipe para a qual foi derrotado. A derrota para a Desportiva foi por 2 a 1.

Talented wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Paine has made history today by becoming Australian domestic cricket’s youngest-ever contracted player.

John Polack14-Jun-2001Talented wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Paine has made history today by becoming Australian domestic cricket’s youngest-ever contracted player.As part of the initial group of nineteen players signed by state team Tasmania for the 2001-02 domestic season, 16-year old Paine has become one of the first beneficiaries of the introduction to the game of a rookie contract system.In announcing its initial list of seventeen fully contracted players and two rookies, the Tasmanians have elected largely to retain their faith in the squad that last season carried them to a third-placed finish in the Pura Cup and produced their best Mercantile Mutual season in recent memory. It’s a balanced squad that contains six batsmen, six bowlers, five all-rounders and two wicketkeepers.They have also still left themselves room to move to re-sign the likes of Mark Atkinson, Mark Colegrave or Ben Targett, the three players from last season’s list who have thus far been overlooked for new deals. Although local conjecture has it that it is more likely that their attention will be focused in the short term upon luring Western Australian Michael Dighton, Queensland’s Matthew Pascoe, and/or the ACT’s Andrew James to the state.All-rounders Brad Thomas and Adam Polkinghorne, batsman Graeme Cunningham, and fast bowler Shane Jurgensen would also be likely to come under serious consideration following appearances in the senior team last summer.So far, the only new name to be added the core of fully contracted players is outstanding young all-rounder Shane Watson. Having moved to the state from Queensland midway through 2000-01, Watson had not been tied to an official contract before he made the decision last month to sign a three-year deal with the Tigers. The remaining sixteen on the list – including Gerard Denton, who is in the midst of embarking on another comeback following the onset of a succession of debilitating back injuries – have all previously been signed by the state.To that end, it is Paine’s selection which serves as the most eye-catching facet of this announcement.By any measure, the teenager already has a glittering list of accomplishments behind him. He has accumulated first grade experience at – not to mention a first grade century for – the University club in Hobart. He has also captained his state at Under-15 and Under-17 level. He became a member of its Under-19 team at the age of just fifteen, and has been the vice-captain of the Australian under-17 side.But his official inclusion among Tasmania’s elite core of players at such a young age is arguably the most exciting step of all.The state’s selectors are understood to have no inclination to promote Paine to their first eleven in the immediate future. Nor do they see him as a substitute for Sean Clingeleffer, their current first-choice wicketkeeper and a brilliantly adept young gloveman in his own right. But his selection as one of the first beneficiaries of the rookie contract system offers a clear indication of Tasmania’s intention to use the new programme to provide encouragement to players who may otherwise have been unable to win formal recognition from the state’s senior administrators and coaches.Under the direction of Chief Executive Officer David Johnston, the Tasmanian Cricket Association has been a strong supporter of the introduction of the rookie concept – a system designed to assist the states recruit and retain previously unsigned players under the age of 23. Its choice of 19-year old batsman George Bailey, like Paine a multi-talented sportsman, is another shrewd selection in that it is now likely to help convince the Launceston teenager to devote his sporting focus exclusively to cricket.The Tigers have until 29 September to fully finalise their new squad.The list of players with Tasmanian state contracts for 2001-02 is: Sean Clingeleffer, Jamie Cox, Gerard Denton, Michael Di Venuto, Andrew Downton, Andrew Dykes, Brett Geeves, Dene Hills, Scott Kremerskothen, Daniel Marsh, Scott Mason, Todd Pinnington, David Saker, Shannon Tubb, Shane Watson, Damien Wright, Shaun Young.Rookie contracts: George Bailey, Tim Paine.ACB contract: Ricky Ponting.

De 1998 a 2016, Magno Alves escreveu uma bela história com a camisa do Fluminense. Com a atual temporada chegando ao fim, o Magnata encerrará sua trajetória nas Laranjeiras com um último capítulo na terça-feira, dia 6, data em que será lançada a biografia do artilheiro tricolor no Salão Nobre da Sede das Laranjeiras, às 18h30.

O livro de Gustavo Penna conta a vida do menino que saiu de Aporá, no interior da Bahia, para tornar-se o nono maior artilheiro do Fluminense. Para tornar-se um dos maiores artilheiros da história do futebol. Aos 40 anos, Magno Alves fez gols importantes em 2016 no Tricolor, como na classificação diante do Ypiranga-RS, nas oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil, e na vitória sobre o Figueirense, no Brasileirão.

No entanto, Magno Alves não renovará seu vínculo com o Tricolor, válido até o dia 31 de dezembro. Como já está de férias – o Fluminense antecipou as férias de 12 jogadores na sexta-feira, entre eles Gum e Diego Cavailieri também -, o Magnata vive seus últimos dias como atleta do clube das Laranjeiras.

Assim, em 2017, o experiente atacante vai buscar espaço em outro clube. Em recente entrevista ao LANCE!, Magno Alves comentou que pretende seguir jogando e marcando gols por mais dois anos. Nos últimos dias, o Magnata teve seu nome ligado ao Fortaleza e Ceará, mas ainda não há acerto entre as partes.

A punição ao Grêmio com a perda de mando de campo na decisão da Copa do Brasil, no próximo dia 30 de novembro, pode ser suspensa. Nesta quinta-feira, o clube entrou com recurso e solicitou o efeito suspensivo da punição aplicada pela entrada da filha do técnico Renato, Carol Portaluppi, no gramado da Arena após a classificação do time à final da competição.

De acordo com o presidente do Grêmio, Romildo Bolzan Júnior, o clube está acompanhando o processo no Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD). A expectativa é de que o resultado seja positivo e que o Tricolor possa voltar a ter o mando de campo contra o Atlético-MG.

-O recurso acompanha o pedido de efeito suspensivo, esperamos que seja provido e acatado o pedido do efeito suspensivo para que ele possa retirar os efeitos da decisão do primeiro grau e que essa decisão não tenha efeito até a decisão de mérito final junto a própria instância superior do STJD – disse o mandatário, em entrevista ao programa SportsCenter, da ESPN.

O presidente ainda ressaltou a importância de que o clube proceda com razão e, por isso, preferiu não emitir nenhuma opinião contra o Tribunal pela decisão.

– Por ora, eu fico rigorosamente dentro da regra. E a regra é recorrer, buscar o efeito suspensivo e esperar que as instâncias superiores do Tribunal tenham mais bom senso nesta decisão, reverta ela, e que o deixe o Grêmio jogar a final do campeonato no seu estádio – declarou.

O caso ainda será julgado no STJD e a decisão pode ser anunciada ainda nesta quinta-feira.

Aston Villa could sign Dean Smith’s own Olof Mellberg in Fenerbahce powerhouse Attila Szalai.

What’s the story?

The Hungary international has firmly established himself as a key part of the Turkish giants’ line-up since joining them in the January transfer window, playing every minute of their last 14 league games.

Hungarian publication Blikk claimed that Dean Smith’s side have joined the race to sign the centre-back this summer, with Newcastle and Leicester also said to be in the running.

Villa’s new Mellberg

Dubbed as “exemplary” and with the “most voice in training” by Fenerbahce boss Emre Belozoglu, the 6 foot 4 Szalai possesses all the raw physical attributes to become a real force in the Premier League much like Mellberg was.

The great Swede became a real icon at Villa, playing seven seasons for the club and being appointed as captain by David O’Leary during the 2003/04 campaign.

As well as being one of the team’s biggest leaders, Mellberg was a defensive stalwart, a “dominant figure” who “rarely made a mistake as he produced commanding displays as a matter of course”, as outlined by the club’s official website.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/latest-aston-villa-transfer-rumours-and-news-copy-copy” title=”Latest Aston Villa transfer rumours and news”]

Szalai possesses much of the same defensive nous, averaging an impressive 1.4 tackles and 1.4 interceptions per game in the Turkish Super Lig – both numbers are higher than any of Villa’s centre-backs in the Premier League this season.

Standing at an imposing 1.92m (6 foot 4), Szalai boasts that same intimidating presence Mellberg had in his prime at Villa Park; and given how quickly he has hit the ground running at Fenerbahce, he may fancy his chances of taking that next step up this summer.

It’s no surprise that Johan Lange is eyeing the 23-year-old as a potential transfer target.

Meanwhile, Villa could sign Jack Grealish’s perfect partner in this star…

Swansea City’s automatic promotion hopes are all but over after a 1-0 defeat against QPR at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.

The late concession, combined with Watford’s 1-0 win against Norwich City, means that Steve Cooper’s side have to win all three of their remaining games, and hope that the Hornets lose all three of theirs if they want to finish in second place.

The Swans were second best for much of the game, with QPR hitting the woodwork twice before finally taking the lead with 89 minutes gone, with Lyndon Dykes smashing home from Albert Adomah’s clever through ball.

One man who particularly disappointed for Swansea at the Liberty Stadium was Wayne Routledge.

As per SofaScore, the 36-year-old veteran would earn a 6.8/10 rating for his performance, with only Ryan Bennett (6.6) and Kyle Naughton (6.6) rated lower of the players who started the game.

The winger, who was featuring up front in the absence of Andre Ayew, blew a great opportunity to give Swansea the lead in the first half when he hit the post, whilst he was extremely wasteful when played through on goal by Jamal Lowe, as his heavy touch allowed the goalkeeper to snatch the ball when he was one-on-one.

During the game, the veteran attacker would have just 28 touches of the ball and would only manage to complete 7/13 of his passes, resulting in a less than impressive 54% pass accuracy rate.

Not only is this far below the 64% rate he has averaged in the Championship this season, but it was also the fewest passes played by anyone on the pitch, with both goalkeepers completing twice as many.

Routledge was caught offside on three occasions which highlighted his lack of attacking positioning, whilst the fact that he managed to lose possession on nine occasions, despite being involved so little, will surely frustrate Cooper.

[freshpress-quiz id=“532484″]

To compound a miserable display, Routledge would win just 4/11 of his duels during the game and failed to hit the target with any of his shots, so you could definitely argue that he let Cooper down when the manager was relying on his experience to help see his side through what was a must-win game for the Swans.

Many Manchester United fans have been left to fume as utdreport relayed the news that Jonathan Moss has been appointed as the referee versus Burnley.

Moss was the official when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team lost 2-0 at home to the Clarets in the 2019/20 term and has also sent Marcus Rashford off before in a game against Sean Dyche’s men (World Football), so there is certainly some bad blood between the supporters and the official going into the match on Sunday afternoon.

Nonetheless, the Red Devils will be looking to grab all three points and thus cement their place in the top four of the table in the Premier League, coming off the back of a very impressive comeback away at Tottenham Hotspur.

If Solskjaer’s men can grab another impressive result this time around, finishing in the top two could start to look like something of a formality.

According to a report by club insider Claret & Hugh, West Ham United manager David Moyes has ‘no intention’ of leaving east London this summer to manage his former club Celtic despite links to the Glasgow outfit, coming after the Scotsman revealed that he had talks on the matter with David Sullivan last month.

Insider drops Moyes claim

Moyes has enjoyed a great season with West Ham United overall, with the Hammers on course for European football despite operating with a comparatively limited budget.

The Irons sold Sebastien Haller in early January without bringing in a recognised striker to replace him, but the signing of Jesse Lingard appears to have masked that issue.

As a result of his job overall with West Ham, Moyes has apparently been attracting interest from Celtic – but club insider Claret & Hugh has revealed that the 57-year-old holds no interest in leaving London this summer.

Transfer Tavern take

This comes after he confirmed a conversation with Sullivan over the matter last month, and it’s safe to say this comes as a boost for West Ham given the job he has done this term.

Speaking to the press, Moyes also confirmed that he has an automatic 12-month extension clause in his contract if the Irons finish above 13th, something which looks a formality.

As Claret & Hugh share the latest on his future, it looks as if he isn’t going anywhere any time soon – something which is likely to please Hammers everywhere.
