Ceni elogia tempo 'fantástico' do São Paulo, mas vê duelo com ABC aberto

MatériaMais Notícias

Rogério Ceni aprovou a atuação do São Paulo na vitória por 3 a 1 sobre o ABC-RN na noite desta quarta-feira, no Morumbi, pela Copa do Brasil. O comandante, no entanto, afirmou que o confronto pela terceira fase ficou aberto dado o placar. Ceni acredita que o resultado teria de ser maior para ter folga no jogo de volta, quarta-feira que vem, em Natal.

– Foi um primeiro tempo fantástico, com muitas chances, velocidade, criação. E um bom segundo tempo. Não que não saiamos satisfeitos, nem frustrados, mas sabendo que poderia ser uma vantagem maior. Um 3 a 1 deixa tudo aberto contra qualquer equipe, em qualquer competição. Lembro da final entre Corinthians e Sport aqui. Talvez um quarto ou quinto gol nos desse uma análise diferente. Fico feliz com o que o time produziu, chances claras, posse de bola. Sinto que faltou alguma coisa só para definir uma classificação que ficou aberta. Como produção, só elogios para quem correu, lutou e criou muito, pelo meio, pelos lados, tabelas, bolas cruzadas – analisou o treinador, em entrevista coletiva.

O resultado não tão elástico, apesar das muitas chances, não permitirá ao treinador descansar alguns jogadores. Ele gostaria de poupar atletas no duelo de volta contra o ABC, mas acredita que não será possível. E ainda há o clássico no próximo sábado, contra o Palmeiras, no Allianz Parque. Ele falou da concorrência no elenco e do revezamento que tem feito em algumas posições, como no gol, por exemplo.

– Faço porque quero ver todos jogando, sentindo parte do grupo, dar minutos aos mais velhos e novos. Não consigo rodar os sete zagueiros, mas cinco já jogaram. Exceto Lyanco e Lucão. Nas laterais eu tento os três, e uma pena não ter feito um coletivo para ver o Caíque um pouco mais. Ontem tivemos problemas de recuperação de quem ficaria no banco e eu não posso ficar fora da Copa do Brasil, que nunca ganhamos, que vai até o fim do ano. Devido ao placar de hoje, não posso fazer um revezamento como queria. É preciso ir com força máxima, com o clássico no meio disso. Amanhã (quinta) teremos os dados dos jogadores para, na manhã de sexta falar com eles e analisar as melhores possibilidades para o clássico. Talvez, mesmo com cansaço, precisemos fechar os olhos e colocá-los. Em duas posições, será assim. No resto, estou mais tranquilo – disse Ceni.

Rogério Ceni também falou sobre o clássico contra o Palmeiras. O Tricolor tentará quebrar o tabu de ainda não ter vencido o rival no Allianz Parque: foram três derrotas (3 a 0, 4 a 0 e 2 a 1).

– Todo jogo é uma oportunidade de enfrentar um adversário e vencer. E a viagem do Palmeiras não é tão longe para fazer o time mais fraco, ainda mais com tudo o que investiu e um elenco para rodar à vontade. Eles se pouparam bastante para isso. Eles virão com o melhor que podem. Todo jogo é uma oportunidade para vencer um clássico, que será difícil, complicado. Jogamos três vezes lá e não ganhamos. Vamos achar um time para jogar de igual para igual e vencer – afirmou.

Confira outros trechos da entrevista de Ceni:

Rodízio no elenco
Titulares são os 11 que entram em campo, os melhores para o dia, para o jogo. No futebol moderno, ter só um time titular é estar fadado ao fracasso. Imaginem 11 jogando nove partidas em um mês, como faremos. Não tem cadeira cativa. Tem quem joga 70%, 80% dos jogos e outros que jogam menos, mas é preciso sempre fazer o melhor. Contra o Palmeiras outros jogarão. Renan Ribeiro pode jogar na fase classificatória do Paulista, já que o Sidão pode ficar mais tempo fora e se recuperar melhor, para treinar mais forte. Depois da volta contra o ABC, quero que o Renan jogue, para analisar e deixar todos se sentindo importantes aqui.

Como manter o ritmo alto?
O jogo de hoje, dos 11 que começaram, jogaram menos de 180 minutos dos últimos 270. Nenhum jogou os três últimos. Essa rotatividade dá o descanso necessário para eles terem energia, assim como reduzimos o ritmo de treino. Quando tem Copa do Brasil e clássico fora de casa no meio, isso pode oscilar. Ainda mais que no clássico fora você talvez não tenha tantas chances assim. Foram muitos poupados nos últimos jogos. É dar o máximo de tempo em alta intensidade, por isso você precisa matar o jogo, para não cansar e dar chances ao adversário no fim. Uma pena que não fizemos mais e ainda tomamos um.

Números da temporada e preocupação de sofrer gol após fazer
Quando você faz um gol, precisa se preocupar com o tempo que falta e a gente ainda toma gol antes disso. Isso vem me preocupando e incomodando os jogadores bastante. Vamos melhorar, corrigir isso. O gol agora foi de bola parada. Treinei muita bola parada ofensiva e sexta talvez pense mais na defensiva. Fizemos três e tomamos quatro nesse quesito, estamos perdendo. Sobre projeções, um treinador que não tem vivência como eu é mais difícil traçar metas. O aproveitamento está diretamente ligado à dedicação dos jogadores, não ao técnico. E não conseguia traçar uma meta com Audax, Ponte e Santos, com dois jogos fora de casa, um time que nos eliminou, outro que ficou com a gente no Brasileiro e outro que ficou em cima. E agora um clássico com o Palmeiras. Mas mesmo que seja em Paulista, esse aproveitamento de 77% é importante.

Crystal Palace: Fans react to Steve Parish comments

Many Crystal Palace fans are excited after the club tweeted comments from Steve Parish detailing the plans that he, sporting director Dougie Freedman and new manager Patrick Vieira have in terms of signing players this summer.

Relief will likely engulf large parts of southeast London following conformation that former Arsenal captain Vieira is the new manager at Selhurst Park [BBC], coming almost two months after Roy Hodgson stepped aside [cpfc.co.uk].

Looking ahead, the Palace recruitment team will have a job on their hands building a successful team ahead of the new season, owing to the departure of 22 first team players detailed within the Eagles’ retained list at the start of June [The Sun].

Nevertheless, Crystal Palace chairman and part-owner Steve Parish has whetted the appetite of many supporters as he looks to positively influence transfer proceedings.

As per the club’s Twitter channel, he outlined: “We have a lot to do to prepare in the coming weeks and I look forward to working closely with Patrick and Dougie in bringing in some new faces to help us all to a successful season.”

In light of these comments, loads of Palace supporters took to Twitter to express their delight at what Parish had to say.

Liverpool fans react to Anfield Road news

A number of Liverpool fans have been reacting positively to the news that the Anfield Road expansion has been given the go-ahead.

The Reds ended up salvaging a season that threatened to be a disaster in 2020/21, securing a third-place finish in the Premier League.

It was a campaign that no Reds supporters will have particularly fond memories of, with empty stadiums, VAR and talk of a European Super League all low points.

Liverpool’s owners, FSG, rightly received criticism for their involvement in the Super League and they have also often been accused of not spending enough money of taking the Reds forward.

They financed the impressive new Main Stand, however, and according to the Liverpool Echo, the club’s plans to expand the Anfield Road end too have now been approved.

The £60million plan will see Anfield’s attendance rise a further 7,000 to 61,000, making Liverpool’s world-famous ground even more formidable.

Southampton submit Djuricic offer

A major update has emerged on Southampton’s pursuit of a Serie A midfielder, it could lead to an unforgivable blunder by Martin Semmens.

What’s the talk?

According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Southampton have submitted an offer to Serie A side Sassuolo for midfielder Filip Djuricic as they attempt to re-sign the Serbian international six years on from his loan spell at St. Mary’s in 2015.

The report claims Southampton’s Premier League rivals West Ham have joined them in their pursuit of Djuricic, who has one year left on his contract at Sassuolo. However, it does not state how much has been offered or whether or not Sassuolo are open to cashing in on Djuricic in the coming months.

Earlier this year, Sassuolo coach Roberto De Zerbi voiced his frustration at Djuricic’s “wrong attitude” prior to a Serie A match with Sampdoria. He told Sport Mob:

“He had a wrong attitude with me before the Sampdoria game. He trained well after what happened, but it was fair to leave him out today. Rules must be respected. He is the player I’ve coached the most during my career.

“Not only he did apologise, but he also wanted to join us. He is a regular starter, but when a player commits a mistake, a coach must intervene like he would do with his own son.”

Semmens blunder

Southampton CEO Martin Semmens could be heading for an unforgivable blunder with this prospective deal for Djuricic. This could be a major error by the club as Djuricic has not proven that he is good enough to improve Southampton’s team in the years since he left from his loan stint in 2015. Semmens should, instead, be looking to avoid this deal and he should stop himself from making a mistake in the summer window.

Djuricic played nine games for Southampton in the Premier League in the 2014/15 campaign and failed to provide a single goal or assist, averaging a dismal WhoScored rating of 6.40. This proved that he was not good enough to make an impact in England at that point in his career and his statistics for Sassuolo do not suggest that there has been a major improvement. In the last six Serie A seasons, he has racked up 12 goals and 13 assists whilst playing for various clubs and he has never averaged a WhoScored rating higher than 6.75.

The £8.1m-rated flop is also at a tricky age for a signing. He is at the age, 29, where he has little resale value and he would not be a player Southampton could develop and then sell on for a profit at a later date. This means that he needs to be of the requisite quality to come in and make an immediate, big, impact in the Premier League. Given the aforementioned statistics, he does not have that quality and Semmens should pull out of any deal to avoid making a massive blunder.

Hodge, Elliott named as major Victorian award winners

Brad Hodge and Matthew Elliott’s recent domination of Victorian cricket was formally recognised tonight when the pair took away the major prizes from the state’s Gala Awards night at the Crown Casino in Melbourne.

John Polack03-Apr-2002Brad Hodge and Matthew Elliott’s recent domination of Victorian cricket was formally recognised tonight when the pair took away the major prizes from the state’s Gala Awards night at the Crown Casino in Melbourne.Hodge, 27, was named Victoria’s Pura Cup Player of the Season at the end of another summer in which he easily prevailed as the state’s leading first-class run scorer. The talented right hander’s victory gave him back-to-back titles in the award and also complemented his status as dual winner of the national 2001-02 Pura Cup Player of the Series trophy alongside Queensland’s Jimmy Maher.Hodge scored 858 runs at the average of 57.20 in his 10 appearances at Pura Cup level for Victoria this season.Elliott, 30, who captained the state in the majority of its games this season, was meanwhile honoured as the Bushrangers’ best one-day player for 2001-02. The left handed opener struck 431 runs at an average of 47.88 from his ten limited-overs matches and was again a tower of strength at the top of the order.The two batsmen have been Victoria’s standout players of recent years, combining to form the backbone of the state team’s upper order. In limited-overs matches alone, they have been responsible for scoring close to a whopping 40 per cent of the Bushrangers’ runs in their appearances together during the last two seasons.While their productivity and experience helped them to land the two major gongs, all-rounder Andrew McDonald was recognised as the state’s most talented emerging player when named as the winner of the Robert Rose Scholarship.Among the night’s other highlights was a special tribute to outgoing Victorian captain Paul Reiffel. Flanked by wife Janet and parents Ron and Maureen, the former state and national pace bowler was honoured for his distinguished 15-year career at the sport’s elite level.Another long-time servant of Victorian cricket, Warren Ayres, also made it a night to remember when he joined an exclusive band of players to have won the Ryder Medal on at least two occasions. The 36-year-old batsman, who amassed 924 runs for Melbourne at an average of 54.35 this season, polled 34 votes to be crowned a clear winner of the award ahead of Carlton’s David Sokulsky. Ayres previously claimed the Medal – the prize awarded each season to the best and fairest player in Victorian first grade cricket – in 1994-95.The awards night formally set the seal on a disappointing 2001-02 summer for Victoria, at the end of which it finished in fifth place in each of the two domestic competitions. The Bushrangers also won less competition points in total over the course of the season than any of their five rival states.

Hendrie would invite Bissouma to Villa

Former Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie has told Football FanCast in an exclusive interview that he is “inviting players like” Brighton’s Yves Bissouma to Villa Park.

Bissouma has been in superb form for the Seagulls this season, boasting some good numbers for dribbling when compared to the rest of Graham Potter’s squad (via WhoScored), and is now being linked with an Amex exit.

According to The Times, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have all looked at the player, while there is also said to be interest coming from France.

Hendrie, however, would love it if Dean Smith could lure the 24-year-old midfielder to his old club.

Speaking exclusively to FFC about Bissouma, the ex-Villa player said:

“I did a chat with myself and Paul Merson on Soccer Saturday a few weeks ago talking about Bissouma, and we highlighted what he actually does. I mean, his stats are absolutely phenomenal, the way he breaks the game up, his forward play.

“He’s got a good football brain. Like I said, when you’ve got someone who breaks the game up so well and can go join in and play, I’m inviting players like that to the football club.”

Villa look in danger of losing one of their midfielders in Douglas Luiz, with Manchester City weighing up whether to trigger a buy-back clause, so Smith may find himself needing to dip into the market to sign a new man for the middle of the park.

West Ham fans shocked by Tomas Soucek stat

Many West Ham United fans were shocked as it emerged that Tomas Soucek won 17 aerial duels against Burnley on Monday night.

The Hammers were in action against Sean Dyche’s team as they aimed to preserve their hopes of earning a European berth for next season. They went behind to a Chris Wood penalty but a brace from Michail Antonio saw them emerge victorious. The Irons have now moved back up to fifth in the table as they trail Chelsea in fourth by just three points (Sky Sports).

Soucel, valued at £36m by Transfermarkt, started the match and won 17 of his 21 aerial duels – incredibly, no other player won more than eight (SofaScore). That means the Czech international has won 204 such battles throughout the season, which is 37 more than Christian Benteke, the next-best performer in the Premier League for this statistic (WhoScored). Soucek is truly unstoppable in the air, it seems.

These West Ham fans were in awe of the stat, as you can imagine, and they took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts.

موندو: أزمة تجديد ديمبلي مستمرة في برشلونة حتى نهاية الموسم

زعمت صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الكتالونية أن أزمة تجديد عقد جناح الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، عثمان ديمبلي، مستمرة حتى نهاية الموسم الحالي.

وينتهي عقد ديمبلي مع برشلونة في 30 يونيو المقبل، وبالتالي، سيرحل الفرنسي الدولي مجانًا إذا لم يتوصل لاتفاق مع إدارة، خوان لابورتا، للتمديد.

كان برشلونة يرغب في تمديد عقد ديمبلي في ديسمبر الماضي ولكن اللاعب ووكيله رفضا التوقيع ورغب النادي الكتالوني في رحيله قبل نهاية الميركاتو الشتوي الماضي.

لكن انتهى سوق الانتقالات الشتوية دون رحيل ديمبلي، بل وفشلت الإدارة في إقناع مدرب الفريق الأول، تشافي هيرنانديز، بعدم مشاركته حتى نهاية الموسم.

شارك ديمبلي أكثر من مرة مع تشافي ونجح في صناعة وتسجيل أهداف مهمة في المباريات الماضية، لكن قضية تجديده ما زالت متوقفة، وبحسب التقرير، لا يوجد هناك أي موعد محدد لمناقشتها.

يرى نادي برشلونة أن عرضه ما زال ساريًا وهو ما صرح به رئيسه، خوان لابورتا، في الساعات الماضية بأن ديمبلي يعرف بنود تمديد العقد.

لن يتخذ برشلونة أي خطوة جديدة بشأن أزمة تجديد ديمبلي، لأن الإدارة قدمت العرض الاقتصادي الأفضل في ديسمبر وهو أقصى ما يمكن تحمله، والآن يرغبون من اللاعب في التركيز فقط بالمباريات حتى نهاية الموسم لمساعدة الفريق على تحقيق أهدافه.

Magno Alves reforça confiança pelo G6 e convoca torcida do Fluminense

MatériaMais Notícias

São seis jogos sem vencer, mas a confiança do Fluminense em conquistar a vaga para a Copa Libertadores do ano que vem segue em alta. Ao menos foi a mensagem que o atacante Magno Alves passou aos torcedores após o treino desta quarta-feira, no CT Pedro Antônio. Experiente, o Magnata convocou a torcida para o jogo contra o Atlético-PR na próxima terça-feira, dia 15, às 17h.

Além do apoio da torcida – o clube fará promoção de ingressos -, Magno Alves quer uma mudança de atitude do Tricolor na próxima partida, a primeira do Marcão como comandante do Flu no Campeonato Brasileiro desta temporada.

-Tanto confio, como creio que terça-feira vai está pelo menos 50% lotado. Concordo com a decepção que eles vêm tendo, assim como nós. Cabe a nós tomarmos atitudes, não só ficar nas palavras. Terça-feira eles vão vir e juntos somos mais fortes – comentou o experiente atacante do Tricolor Carioca.

A queda do Fluminense no Campeonato Brasileiro se deu justamente quando o G6 foi anunciado pela CBF. Desde então, o time não venceu mais no torneio. São quatro derrotas e dois empates. A fase deixou o clube estacionado na 9º posição com 48 pontos, mas os rivais não aproveitaram e a distância para o sexto colocado, Atlético-PR, segue sendo de apenas três pontos.

Magno Alves afirmou que a confiança dentro do elenco do Tricolor é geral:

-Já provamos (que podemos superar a fase ruim). Dá uma certa desconfiança, mas a maioria ainda acredita. São seis jogos sem vencer em um campeonato difícil, outras equipes já passaram por essa situação. infelizmente deixamos de somar pontos em uma reta final importante, mas tenho total confiança e já demonstramos que temos condições de chegar nesse G6 – concluiu Magnata.
