Jogar bem ou ganhar? Palmeiras faz os dois e ganha embalo para final

MatériaMais Notícias

Após vencer o Alianza Lima (PER) por 2 a 0 no Allianz Parque, Felipe Melo contou uma determinação que Roger Machado dá ao elenco do Palmeiras:

– Se der para jogar, joga; se não der, ganha.

O que disse o meio-campista casa com o atual momento alviverde: na primeira final do Paulista, sábado, o time venceu fora de casa, mas recebeu junto do rival Corinthians questionamentos por não ter sido um clássico vistoso (embora a mim tenha agradado). Na noite de terça há pouco o que se reclamar: o time jogou bem e ganhou.

Mesmo com quatro mudanças em relação à equipe titular (Mayke, Victor Luis, Moisés e Keno), o Palmeiras não perdeu a organização que vem mostrando e controlou a partida contra os peruanos do início ao fim: foram 18 finalizações, quase 500 passes certos, cinco escanteios e dois gols marcados, um no início de cada tempo. Se for para citar um “porém” é o fato de não ter resolvido o jogo mais cedo, tendo criado chances para isto.

Liderado por Dudu, que está subindo de rendimento, o time contou com boas atuações de todos os seus homens de frente: Keno deitou e rolou com jogadores de velocidade, Borja fez gol, teve mais chances e foi muito bem no pivô, enquanto Lucas Lima distribuiu bem o jogo entre os três citados.

Na primeira linha de meio-campistas, Moisés e Felipe Melo iniciaram bem as jogadas para o Verdão. Roger avisou que o “onipresente” camisa 10 é o favorito para substituir o próprio Felipe, que estará suspenso no Dérbi. Ele deve jogar com Bruno Henrique, poupado na Libertadores por conta do desgaste físico.

Diante de um adversário que não criou tanto, o destaque defensivo foi Antônio Carlos, que vive seu melhor momento no Palmeiras. O zagueiro teve outra atuação impecável, como já havia ocorrido na Arena Corinthians. A cada jogo de 2018 fica mais claro o erro de avaliação de todos os técnicos que passaram pelo Verdão em 2017 e mal usaram o camisa 25.

Se o jogo da última noite pode ter aumentado um pouco mais o cansaço de um grupo que vem numa sequência dura de decisões, serviu para dar um último impulso para a final do Paulista. O time tem crescido e está mostrando que sabe o que precisa fazer em cada jogo. No domingo, valendo uma taça contra o seu maior rival, é a chance de ratificar isto.

I'm ready for the World Cup – Mawoyo

Zimbabwe batsman Tino Mawoyo insists he is ready for the challenge of the World Cup after receiving a surprise call-up to replace Sean Ervine

Zimbabwe batsman Tino Mawoyo insists he is ready for the challenge of the World Cup after receiving a surprise call-up to replace Sean Ervine, who pulled out of the squad for the tournament due to personal reasons.”I was both excited and a bit surprised when I got the news,” said Mawoyo. “I was disappointed to have been left out at first just like all the players that have not been included, but despite having been left out I have been working hard all along so I think I will be as ready as the other guys when the World Cup starts.”Mawoyo, an opening batsman who played two one-day internationals against Bangladesh in 2006, has been one of the more consistent batsmen on the domestic limited-overs scene over the past two seasons. He furthered his claims for national selection with some impressive innings in the unofficial Test series against New Zealand in October last year, and his entry to the World Cup squad will also give the team more options at the top of the innings.”There is a slight change in the dynamics of the side as we lost a batsman we could have got some seam from,” explained national coach Alan Butcher. “On the other hand now we have a batsman who is used to opening the batting. I was comfortable with the options we had in that regard but now we have somebody who is used to taking the new ball at the top order and whose natural inclination is to play shots.””Tino has done well to improve on his fitness, as asked to, and he has had some rewards for his hard work,” added Butcher. “He has shed some weight and we can push that along for the next few weeks. Let’s hope that he takes to our regime for people to become fit and strong and at the same time compete in that way against other teams. We’ll get a good idea about how his attitude and mind work by the end of the tournament.”Mawoyo was in ebullient mood after being asked to join the squad and suggested that if Zimbabwe play to their strengths they could upset some of the bigger teams at the tournament. “We have always shown we are a good team,” he said. “We can get positive results against some of the big guns in our group if we apply ourselves fully. Everybody is excited and raring to go so I have a feeling it will be a successful outing for us.”Mawoyo’s words will have pleased Butcher, who expressed his hope that the Zimbabweans would approach the World Cup with a spirit of fun and adventure. “Pressure and opportunity are different sides of the same coin and I hope our people will look at it as an opportunity and an adventure rather than being under pressure,” he said.”There are other teams in the world cup that will be under more pressure than Zimbabwe and that is purely because their expectations will be greater. We have our own expectations but the more we can look at it as an opportunity to showcase individual and collective talent, rather than something that should stop us from performing, the better.”National team assistant coach Steven Mangongo added that he expected Mawoyo, who he suggested had been unlucky to miss out on selection in the past, to make the most of this opportunity. “It’s a big opportunity for him to finally get his international career going,” said Mangongo. “I always thought he was one player that had been left out who deserved to be in the squad. He is one of the few specialist openers that we have and we hope he takes this opportunity with both hands and does the job.”

رمضان السيد: الغضب ظهر على ثلاثي الأهلي أمام الاتحاد.. جرس إنذار يدق لأول مرة

علق رمضان السيد لاعب الأهلي السابق، على أداء المارد الأحمر، أمس الإثنين، أمام الاتحاد السكندري، في بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وفاز الأهلي على سيد البلد بثلاثية دون رد، في المباراة التي جمعت بين الفريقين على ملعب “السلام” والمؤجلة من الجولة الرابعة.

وقال رمضان السيد في تصريحات لبرنامج “بوكس تو بوكس” على قناة “etc”: “هناك مشكلة في أداء الفريق، لعبوا بجدية في أول نصف ساعة وسجلوا هدفين، وكان طبيعي المباراة تكون أسهل من ذلك، لكن ما حدث هو تراجع غريب، واستحواذ للاتحاد السكندري”.

وتابع: “لاعبو الأهلي كانوا بخلاء في الملعب، واعتقدوا بعد الهدفين أن المباراة انتهت، كانت هناك أخطاء غريبة وشعرنا بأن المنافس قريب من مرمى محمد الشناوي في أي وقت”.

وواصل: “هناك جرس إنذار في النادي الأهلي، اللاعبون الذين شاركوا في الشوط الثاني كبدلاء، ظهروا في حالة غضب وعدم رضا، مثل أفشة وشادي حسين الذي ظهر عليه علامات الغضب، أنا أشعر بذلك من خلال أداء اللاعبين، وسوء التمرير وعدم تحقيق الإضافة المطلوبة”.

وأردف: “أفشة لم يظهر في المباراة سوى في صناعة الهدف الثاني، وارتكب العديد من الأخطاء في التمريرات، وتفسيري لذلك هو غضبه من عدم الاعتماد عليه خلال الفترة الماضية، وبعيدًا عن قصة العروض التي تلقاها مؤخرًا، مع أنه من المفترض أن يثبت جدارته واللعب بقوة، ويثبت للمدرب أنه الأفضل”.

وأضاف: “أفشة تعرض للإصابة في العضلة الخلفية، وليست إصابة سياسية، ومستواه في المباراتين أمام المحلة ثم الاتحاد كان جيدًا، هو اللاعب الأفضل في المباراتين، وكولر استطاع توظيفه جيدًا في مركز المهاجم، ويمنحه الحرية في التحرك يمينًا ويسارًا وفي العمق، لأنه مؤمن بقدراته”.

واستدرك: “أوجه رسالة للاعبي الأهلي، أفشة وشادي حسين ومحمد شريف، بأن يقاتلوا لإثبات ذاتهم في الفترة المُقبلة مع كولر، شعرت بأنهم غاضبين، وهذا شيء جديد على الأهلي، هناك بعض اللاعبين كانوا يشاركون 10 دقائق ويغيرون النتيجة، الثلاثي لم يحقق الإضافة في الشوط الثاني”.

واستطرد: “كولر اعترف بسوء الأداء خلال المباراة، والاتحاد لعب مباراة جيدة، وأتمنى أن يتحدث المدير الفني مع اللاعبين، بشإن سوء إنتاجهم، وبعضهم كان غاضبًا لمجرد الجلوس احتياطيا، وعلى رأسهم أفشة الذي لم يحتفل بالهدف الثالث مع أكرم توفيق، ووضح عليه عدم الرضا”.

واختتم: “كريم فؤاد كان موفقًا في الفترة الأخيرة، وأهدر فرصة غريبة اليوم أمام الاتحاد السكندري، ومحمد الشناوي يستحق جائزة رجل المباراة وكان في حالة تركيز، قدم مستوى أفضل من المواجهات السابقة التي ارتكب فيها أخطاء لا تحدث كثيرا”. ملخص مباراة الاهلي والاتحاد السكندري (3-0) الدوري المصري

Pressure-free Canada ready to impress

Ashish Bagai’s memory isn’t as clear as it should be perhaps, though givenwhat happened when Canada last met Sri Lanka at a World Cup, he is not tobe blamed

Osman Samiuddin in Hambantota19-Feb-2011Ashish Bagai’s memory isn’t as clear as it should be perhaps, though givenwhat happened when Canada last met Sri Lanka at a World Cup, he is not tobe blamed. That game, in Paarl, South Africa in 2003, was over in justover half a Twenty20 game: Canada’s 36 all out remains the lowest WorldCup total.A day ahead of – for want of a more appropriate word – their rematch atHambantota, he’s not too keen to remember the game. “I don’t have suchgood memories of that. The one before that is still in my mind, but Ithink I have forgotten the Sri Lanka game,” Canada’s captain said. The onebefore was a loss to Kenya, so it is the one before heremembers: the Austin Codrington-inspired 60-run win over Bangladesh.”There are only two guys from that World Cup here, myself and John Davisonand we don’t talk about that game too much.”Canada have made some strides since then. There are central contracts inplace. They also have a clutch of Under-19 players in the side, homegrownproducts and a “brand” of cricket they are keen to show off. It is bracingtalk. “We’ve got some very exciting youngsters coming through the Canadianprogram for the first time. It’s important to show our brand of cricketand home-grown cricketers, as opposed to the past where lots of guys fromIndia and Pakistan came in after playing in their domestic leagues and ‘A’teams. We want to show what Canada has produced for the first time.”Prime among them is Nitish Kumar, all of 16 and with much hype around him.No wonder his listed nickname is Tendulkar. From Bagai’s words, the hypemay not be unjustified. “He’s my favourite batsman to watch in the world.I’ve never seen a talent like that and a lot of coaches in world cricketsay that about him. He’s so young but very exciting.”An eye will be kept on others, like the left-arm spinner Parth Desai orRuvindu Gunasekera, the left-handed top-order batsman who’s done welldomestically in Sri Lanka, the land of his birth. Something, over thecourse of six matches, will surely come from Rizwan Cheema and thegodfather-grandfather John Davison.A little insider knowledge is also available. Canada’s head and assistantcoaches are Pubudu Dassanayake and Chandika Haturusingha, both former SriLankan internationals. The latter only joined recently, but together, saysBagai, the pair has been crucial. “Pubudu has been crucial for us,especially in grooming youngsters to play at this level. Hatu is anexcellent man when it comes to technical ability. Both of them togetherform a good group for us and both have very good knowledge of subcontinentconditions. Most of our players are from subcontinent roots so they canrelate to them really well.”Talent, inside information, spirit and all these things will take you onlyso far when you step out on to the field against co-hosts and favouritesin a World Cup. There is no reason to suspect Bagai – an impressive man -doesn’t know that. But freedom from fear and pressure are great,mood-changing stimulants. There is no pressure on Canada, none whatsoeverand Bagai knows that too.”In the warm-up game against England, there were nerves for the youngerguys because we’ve got five Under-19s players in the side,” he said. “We gotthat out of the way. Now, tomorrow is about no pressure, nobody expects usto win and we want to spin that positively and use it to our advantage.Play freely, see young guys play their natural game and someresponsibility from the older guys.”Simple really, when put like that.

Entenda por que Régis e Everton fizeram Diego Souza ficar no Tricolor

MatériaMais Notícias

Na semana passada, o São Paulo recusou uma oferta de empréstimo do Vasco, que envolvia pagar parte dos salários de Diego Souza, depois de o meia-atacante ter uma franca conversa com Raí a respeito de seu momento no clube. E um dos motivos apontados pelo camisa 9 ao diretor executivo de futebol para provar sua motivação para ficar foram os recém-contratados Régis e Everton.

Autor de três gols em 17 jogos, Diego Souza relatou a Raí que confia na melhora de seu rendimento graças aos dois jogadores que ficaram à disposição depois do Campeonato Paulista. A explicação é simples: ambos jogam abertos (Régis pela direita e Everton pela esquerda) e, na visão do camisa 9, têm capacidade de cruzamentos que facilitarão seu estilo.

Na conversa com o diretor, Diego Souza disse acreditar que o estilo mais ofensivo de Régis, que o técnico Diego Aguirre tem tentado aproveitar utilizando três zagueiros, pode ajudá-lo mais do que ocorria com Militão, que era zagueiro e volante na base antes virar titular na lateral no time principal.

Apesar de ter mostrado até agora uma postura em campo menos aguerrida do que Aguirre gosta, Diego Souza tem bom ambiente no elenco. E, depois da conversa com Raí, o jogador passou a conversar com Régis e Everton.

Vindo do São Bento, clube pelo qual disputou o Campeonato Paulista, Régis não sabia que tinha sido citado por Diego Souza como motivo para vingar no São Paulo. Mas gostou de saber da confiança que o colega teve nele simplesmente vendo seu desempenho em treinamentos e jogos.

– Pô, fico feliz de saber. Não conversamos, acabamos de nos conhecer, mas vi que ele se interessou. Percebo que ele já está pedindo mais para jogar no primeiro pau, para ele chegar. Não era característica dele. Ele falou que ficava do meio para trás. Mas, como eu estarei sozinho, ele vai ficar mais na frente para cruzar no primeiro pau. Temos tudo para fazer bons jogos – disse Régis ao LANCE!, prometendo ajudar o camisa 9.

– Não vou prometer assistência, mas a tentativa vai ter (risos). Com certeza, umas duas vezes, pelo menos, vou colocá-lo em condição de finalizar – prosseguiu o lateral-direito, que pode criar oportunidades para Diego Souza neste domingo, contra o Fluminense, no Maracanã, caso o meia-atacante saia do banco.

Depois de ficar fora da partida de domingo, contra o Ceará, em Fortaleza, Diego Souza será relacionado para o compromisso deste fim de semana. Aguirre ouviu do jogado e da própria diretoria motivos para confiar em uma mudança de postura dentro de campo do jogador de 32 anos, contratado em janeiro, por cerca de R$ 10 milhões, e com vínculo até dezembro de 2019.

Nathan McCullum steps into Vettori's shoes

In the absence of Daniel Vettori for the second consecutive match, Nathan McCullum has to be New Zealand’s frontline spinner, his time against Sri Lanka

Nathan McCullum will have to wear the premier spinner’s hat against Sri Lanka•Associated Press

Nathan McCullum does not bowl a . He says he is working on an unfinished delivery, for which he does not have a name yet. McCullum, however, is certain about his role in this New Zealand side: to defend at all costs. On Friday he will face his biggest challenge against the Sri Lankan batsmen, who read hands better than master palmists. In the absence of Daniel Vettori for the second consecutive match, McCullum has to be New Zealand’s frontline spinner.McCullum’s build-up so far in this World Cup has been patchy. Not once has he delivered a full quota of 10 overs, bring used primarily as a utility bowler rather than a strike option. He has taken only three wickets in five matches at an average of 45, which is better than his career mean of 50. All his wickets have come towards the end of the innings, after the mandatory ball change, and he has failed to ask questions of opposition batsmen. Even spinners from weaker teams – Ray Price of Zimbabwe (seven wickets at 21 each), George Dockerell of Ireland (seven at 27) and Peeter Seelar of Netherlands (seven at 35) – have made stronger impressions than has McCullum.Yet, McCullum could play Sri Lanka with added confidence. He had a brief chat with Sunil Fernando, Muttiah Muralitharan’s coach, who dropped in during New Zealand’s training session ahead of the Pakistan match at John Wright’s request. Though the chat lasted barely a few minutes, McCullum was reinvigorated. He realised his thought process about working towards a wicket was similar to what Fernando had in mind. There was not much time to talk technique, but McCullum is bound to utilise the knowledge against Sri Lankans.”I guess it depends on what type of spinner you are and how you work in the team. They perform different roles depending on the type of spinner,” McCullum said of the role of a spinner in modern-day cricket. “As for my role, it is to work hard and try and go for 40-45 off my ten overs, and if I pick up one or two wickets that will do.”McCullum felt his job was no different to that of a Muralitharan, the difference being Murali is a strike bowler. “In the Sri Lankan side, Muralitharan is looked at as a big wicket-taker, but at the end of the day even he has to go for 40-45 runs while he picks up the wickets.” McCullum is not cocky about his strengths. He is modest in fact, and would like to one day pick the brains of Murali and Harbhajan Singh to understand how they do what they do. In the interim he could change his mindset and become a wicket-taker instead of being tamed by batsmen.In the only World Cup match played at the Wankhede so far, New Zealand’s bowlers had to toil to get wickets against Canada, who lost by 97 runs but lasted 50 overs. It was the first time New Zealand had to bowl their complete quota of overs. It was also the only occasion McCullum came close to bowling 10 overs – he finished with 56 for 1 off eight.On Wednesday, Ross Taylor said the absence of Vettori and Kyle Mills would not hurt them because New Zealand had enough men of character to step up. McCullum can be one of them. The pitch has enough bounce and turn, New Zealand have a good fielding side. He needs to bowl with the positive attitude with which he bats. McCullum is one of the best finishers in the game. He has as strike-rate of 120 while batting in the final 10 overs; 52% of his runs are in boundaries. He needs to be that aggressive while bowling.”I don’t think my role changes at all. It just means I got to little bit more consistent and more aware of performing my role to the full extent,” he said. “When you lose a big player like Daniel Vettori and Kyle Milles every one needs to stand up and perform their role to the full extent.”

Controversy blights local US elections

As unease continues to surround the delayed USA Cricket Association elections, it has emerged that local elections in the New York region are turning out to be even more controversial

ESPNcricinfo staff05-May-2011As unease continues to surround the delayed USA Cricket Association elections, it has emerged that local elections in the New York region are turning out to be even more controversial.At the heart of the row is the fact that applicants for the various posts up for grabs were given a deadline of April 16 to submit their nominations, with the election itself set for April 24. But at the last minute the deadline was changed to April 22 with the elections postponed until April 26.In a surprising breaking of ranks, John Aaron, the secretary of USACA, wrote that Paul Da Silva, the chairman of the NY elections committee, changed the dates with the agreement of Selwyn Caesar, the regional director, and then added his own name to the list of candidates for the vacancy of regional representative. Both Da Silva and Caesar are familiar names to those who have followed the travails of USACA in recent years.Other members of the elections committee claim to have been unaware of the changes, and , according to Aaron, Da Silva then went to ground and refused to answer any questions about the situation. To add to the confusion, when the committee eventually sat, Da Silva withdrew his name from the list of candidates.Even Caesar appears to have been caught off guard. “I did not anticipate Paul entering the race, nor did he discuss same with me,” he told Aaron before the committee met. “If so, I would have given him a different direction prior to the application, and not to run. The inclusion of Paul DaSilva into the race, is a personal concern of mine and it bothers me.”But Caesar went on to say he had no issues with the deadline extension because no league presidents had contacted him to complain. However, Aaron cited several of them who expressed their unease with the way events had turned.USACA has stayed detached from the process – it has enough issues of its own – but it has also emerged it has embargoed results from elections in the North Californian region, leading to internal divides between its president, Gladstone Dainty, and other USACA board members. The fallout from this is that USACA is unable to meet as Dainty cannot find enough people to form a quorum.
