MatériaMais Notícias

Familiares, amigos, ex-companheiros e torcedores se despediram do ex-jogador Leonardo nesta quarta-feira. O copo do ídolo do Sport, que faleceu na última terça-feira, foi velado na sede do Leão, na Ilha do Retiro. Centenas de pessoas foram prestar as últimas homenagens ao ex-atacante. A família achou melhor que o enterro fosse feito em Picos, no Piauí, cidade natal do ex-atleta. O caixão seguiu para o local no início da tarde.

Entre os ex-companheiros de Sport que foram ao velório estavam Chiquinho, Nildo, Carlinhos Bala, Dário, Adriano, Sandro, Albérico, Russo, entre outros. Além deles, também compareceram o ex-atacante do Náutico, Kuki, o ex-volante do Santa Cruz, Zé do Carmo.

O velório foi marcado por muita emoção e homenagens ao ídolo do Leão. Os presentes entoaram músicas do Sport e o coro “Ah! É Leonardo”, grito que o ex-jogador ouviu muito em sua vitoriosa passagem pelo clube.

O ex-atacante, que ainda teve passagens por clubes como Vasco, Corinthians, Palmeiras e Central-PE, estava há cerca de um mês internado devido a complicações de um quadro de neurocisticercose, doença provocada pelo consumo de carne de porco mal preparada. A sua morte foi confirmada às 15h15 desta terça-feira.

Nascido em Picos (PI), Leonardo foi revelado no Sport em 1992. Passados três anos, o então atacante desembarcou no Vasco cercado de expectativas, ao lado do promissor Juninho, mas sua passagem durou seis meses.

Em 1996, Leonardo disputou a Copa Libertadores pelo Corinthians, onde foi artilheiro da equipe, com cinco gols. Em seguida, vestiu a camisa do Palmeiras, onde não se firmou.

No ano de 1997, voltou à Ilha do Retiro, onde ficou por quatro anos, e colecionou sete títulos pernambucanos e duas Copas do Nordeste. Em seguida, passou por 14 clubes, como Santa Cruz e Central-PE, até encerrar sua carreira no Sete de Setembro-PE. Ele foi o terceiro maior artilheiro do Sport, com 136 gols. Ele também é o jogador que mais ganhou título pelo Leão. Foram nove no total (sete estaduais e duas Copas do Nordeste).

Derby eye loan for Everton’s Baningime

Marcel Brands must secure a last-ditch loan deal for Everton midfielder Beni Baningime to join Wayne Rooney’s Derby County on Deadline Day.

What’s the word?

According to Football Insider, Rooney has contacted club figures at Goodison Park to sound out the 22-year-old’s availability in late efforts to bolster the core of his Rams side.

Derby are staring down the barrel of a full-blown relegation fight this season, with even a run of three-straight wins only moving the Pride Park outfit five points clear of the Championship drop zone, where 22nd-placed Rotherham United hold two games in hand.

Carlo Ancelotti is said to be happy to sanction a deal for Baningime to see out the rest of the season away from Merseyside, following several enquiries from clubs showing an interest in the Toffees product during the winter transfer window.

Derby are on pole for his signature, as Rooney looks to replace Millwall-bound George Evans and Swansea City-bound Morgan Whittaker.

Baningime is yet to play a second of senior football this season with Ancelotti opting to omit the £1m-rated talent from each of his matchday squads across all competitions, but has started all 13 of Everton’s Premier League 2 fixtures under David Unsworth this term.

Unsworth has previously described Baningime as a player in the mould of former and current Chelsea enforcers Claude Makelele and N’Golo Kante, but has failed to see the £8,000-per-week prospect build on his 12 career first-team outings for the Blues.

Should Everton let Baningime join Derby?

Everton’s Director of Football Brands should be leaping at the chance to reach an agreement for Baningime to see out the remainder of the season at Derby, as Ancelotti clearly does not consider the 22-year-old to be at a high enough standard for the Toffees first-team.

It has been a long time since the midfielder featured in the senior fold at Goodison Park, with his last outing coming back in April 2018, despite Unsworth lauding the “class act” and suggesting he “shouldn’t be playing at this level” following an U23s win in September 2019.

Derby would represent a great opportunity for Baningime to kick start his career with Rooney being an admirer of his potential, having played alongside the DR Congo-born enforcer during the England icon’s second spell with Everton.

Rooney is also showing that he is not afraid to place his trust in young players now that he has taken the step into the management, with 19-year-old talent Jason Knight playing the full 90 minutes in each of his four games in charge and even captaining the Rams in three of those matches.

Kamil Jozwiak, 22, also opened all four of those Championship fixtures, while 20-year-old Max Bird played the last 135 minutes of the Rams’ second-tier encounters after a bit-part campaign.

Baningime needs that level of trust placed in him in a senior setting for his development, otherwise the youngster’s progress will only continue to stagnate. With his Everton contract also up in the summer of 2022, the Toffees need him playing if they are to ever see him as a part of their future, and Derby could be the dream destination for all involved.

Oliveira ainda sente incômodo no joelho, mas Santos confirma time

MatériaMais Notícias

O técnico Dorival Júnior fechou o treino do Santos desta sexta-feira, mas confirmou o time que enfrenta o Corinthians no domingo, às 16 horas, na Vila Belmiro. Segundo ele, Ricardo Oliveira ainda sente um incômodo no joelho direito, mas deve jogar mesmo assim.

– O Ricardoainda está com incômodo, mas ainda não vai fugir de um jogo com tal importância. Otime é mais ou menos o mesmo. Deve ser o mesmo que jogou contra o Red Bull – resumiu o treinador santista.

Sobre o Corinthians, que deve ir à Vila Belmiro com um time misto, por conta dos jogos da Libertadores, Dorival afirmou que a aplicação do Peixe deve ser a mesma, e não há favoritismo.

– Vamos tentando adivinhar o que pode acontecer e tentando tirar proveito de determinadas situações. Tentando entender o que o Tite está pensando para esse jogo. Se a equipe for a mesma, os jogadores estão alertas. Se entrar com uma equipe alternativa, quem vai entrar? O Danilo adiantado? Dois jogadores de velocidades? Mas não vão fugir do 4-1-4-1 – concluiu.

كلوب: نيوكاسل جعل الحياة صعبة على ليفربول.. وهدف أرنولد مُذهل

اعترف المدرب الألماني، يورجن كلوب، المدير الفني لنادي ليفربول، أن فريقه عانى أمام نيوكاسل يونايتد في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ليفربول فاز على نيوكاسل يونايتد بثلاثة أهداف مقابل هدف، في المباراة التي جمعت بينهما، مساء أمس الخميس، على ملعب “آنفيلد”، بالجولة السابعة عشر من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز. شاهد اهداف مباراة ليفربول ونيوكاسل

وقال كلوب في تصريحات نقلتها هيئة الإذاعة البريطانية “بي بي سي”: “لقد شاهدنا مباريات بورنموث أكثر من نيوكاسل من اجل إيدي هاو، نحن كنا نتوقع منهم نفس الأداء الذي قدموه في الموسم الماضي، لقد جعلوا الحياة صعبة علينا”.

وأضاف: “تأخرنا في النتيجة بهدف في وقت مُبكر غير المزاج قليلًا، لقد سجلنا أهدافًا جيدة حقًا، وأنا سعيد بالفعل في هذه الفترة من العام لأن يتعين علينا فقط اجتياز المباريات”.

وعن هدف التعادل لـ ليفربول مع إصابة لاعبان من نيوكاسل يونايتد: “لم أر ذلك، لقد سمعت عن الأمر، ولكن مساعد أخبرني أن كل شيء على ما يُرام”.

واختتم تصريحاته بالحديث عن هدف ترينت ألكسندر أرنولد الصاروخي: “لقد قلت إنها أفضل كرة لعبها، ما فعله كان مُذهل، وأسلوبه في التسديد لا يُصدق حقًا”.

Man City fans baffled by Klopp comments

Speaking to the press (Liverpool Echo), Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp explained that in a ‘normal season’ his side would not be 16 points behind Manchester City – prompting plenty of Sky Blues to react as they’re baffled by this rival claim. 

City currently sit top of the Premier League pile on on 56 points, ten points clear of arch rivals Manchester United in second, with the Sky Blues only having conceded an impressive 15 goals in the league this season (Premier League).

After watching Liverpool clinch the 2019/2020 league title by some margin, Pep Guardiola oversaw strengthening in key areas – with summer signing Ruben Dias becoming a revelation at the back.

By contrast, the Reds have suffered through their fair share of injury woes to key men as Klopp has had to cope without the likes of Virgil van Dijk.

“We all agree, and I’m sure Pep would, in a normal season for both teams we would not be 16 points away,” he explained to the press (via Liverpool Echo).

“But we are. That’s how it is. We accept. This season it isn’t our concern how close we get to #ManCity. It’s how far we go up the PL table…”

These City supporters are not in agreement with Klopp over this claim, appearing baffled by the comments on social media – find all of their verdicts down below.

Dirigente diz que um triunfo do Fla pode amenizar desgaste da equipe

MatériaMais Notícias

O diretor executivo do Flamengo, Rodrigo Caetano, apontou que uma vitória por dois ou mais gols sobre o Confiança, nesta quarta-feira, é crucial para amenizar a maratona da equipe. Em entrevista ao “Bate-Bola”, da ESPN Brasi, o dirigente apontou que o elenco teria mais tempo de descanso e preparação, após ter viajado 15 mil km neste início de temporada:

– Caso tenha o segundo jogo em Volta Redonda, nós vamos ter um prejuízo financeiro, pelo apelo de jogo, e também físico. Se o Flamengo vencer a partida hoje (quarta-feira) contra o Confiança, o elenco terá uma liberação para treinamentos.

Rodrigo Caetano admitiu que os deslocamentos, especialmente em virtude da ausência do Maracanã e do Engenhão, são uma preocupação da cúpula rubro-negra:

-A maratona causada pelo Flamengo não ter um estádio traz um desgaste físico e psicológico. Automaticamente, são reduzidos o período de descanso e treinamento. O elenco vai precisar ter conscientização da necessidade de uma recuperação constante, especialmente porque vamos ter muitas adversidades.

يوفنتوس يدخل الصراع مع برشلونة لضم كافاني في يناير

كشفت تقارير صحفية إيطالية، رغبة نادي يوفنتوس في التعاقد مع الدولي الأوروجوياني إدينسون كافاني مهاجم مانشستر يونايتد الإنجليزي خلال فترة الانتقالات الشتوية المقبلة.

كافاني ينتهي عقده مع مانشستر يونايتد الصيف المقبل، ويمكنه الاتفاق مع أي نادٍ بحلول يناير بعد أقل من 10 أيام، دون الرجوع لناديه الإنجليزي.

صحيفة “توتو سبورت” الإيطالية، أكدت أن مانشستر يونايتد يسعى للحفاظ على كافاني، لكن اللاعب الأوروجوياني يسعى للخروج من ملعب أولد ترافورد، في ظل عدم الحصول على دقائق أكبر للعب.

وكشفت الصحيفة عن رغبة يوفنتوس في ضم اللاعب وعودته إلى إيطاليا من جديد بعدما تألق مع نابولي قبل انضمامه إلى باريس سان جيرمان في 2013.

يوفنتوس يواجه منافسة مع برشلونة على ضم كافاني، وكلا الناديين يسعيان لتعزيز خط الهجوم، في ظل إصابة ديبالا مع البيانكونيري، ورحيل كريستيانو رونالدو، بالإضافة لاعتزال سيرجيو أجويرو مهاجم البلوجرانا بسبب مشاكل في القلب.

يوفنتوس يريد ضم اللاعب من مانشستر يونايتد في يناير، ودفع مبلغ مالي قليل، نظرًا لاقتراب عقد كافاني من نهايته، بدلًا من الانتظار للصيف.

المفاوضات لم تبدأ بعد بشكل رسمي مع مانشستر يونايتد، لكن البيانكونيري يستفسر من بيئة كافاني عن موقفه من اللعب لـ يوفنتوس، خاصة وأنه لاعب سابق لـ نابولي، الذي يعتبر غريمًا لنادي مدينة تورينو.

Wolves: Fans react to Tim Spiers’ article

Many fans of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been reacting to a post on Twitter in which Tim Spiers relayed an article of his regarding Wolves’ defensive issues.

In his article for The Athletic, Spiers revealed that, out of the 33 Premier League goals Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have conceded so far this season, 15 have come from crosses or set-pieces – highlighting the club’s ‘inability to defend’ a ball from a wide position.

Spiers continued in his piece by highlighting each of the 15 goals in question, the latest of which came during the club’s recent 1-1 stalemate with Newcastle United. One angry supporter described the defensive problem as “pathetic”.

After the journalist relayed his report on Twitter, fans of Wolves flocked to have their say on the matter, with many appearing to blame the statistic on the fact that Nuno often fields midfielders in the heart of his defence – for instance, Leander Dendoncker has played the last four matches at centre-back.

So, what exactly did these Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have to say in reaction to Tim Spiers’ report?

“It really gets me how defenders turn their backs when attackers are crossing – and what’s with tucking your hands behind you? In the penalty area, OK – but elsewhere?”

@mrbcuk

“A midfielder’s instinct is to drop and defend the goal, real defenders hold the line and attack the ball. There’s your answer from a layman on Twitter. Question is, why can’t a multi-million-pound manager identify this?”

@MrR1g4t

“We’re desperate for a class CB in the summer, Dendoncker’s definitely been found out.”

@andywilis62

“Why’s he persisting with using midfielders as makeshift centre-halves when he has a 6ft 4 centre half who’s barely put a foot wrong when he’s played on the bench?”

@superwolves22

“The amount of free kicks we give away around the box is infuriating when we clearly can’t defend them.”

@DannyRosamond

“They looked all over the place, lack of communication. Surely that’s something that can be practised in training?”

@GianSG11

“Playing Saiss in the defence is not the long term answer. Dendoncker needs replacing, the same for Boly. The squad nucleus is stale.”

@FW90

“Maybe down to none of our back 3 are natural centre backs. 100% need to invest in the summer, even when Boly is back.”

@bigal9_wwfc

“Our attitude to blocking crosses is pathetic. Time and time again our full-backs lack the urgency to close down the crosser and then dangle a token leg out with zero intention of taking one for the team and putting their bodies between the ball and the intended target.”
