O clássico entre Palmeiras e Santos foi intenso, mesmo com o placar zerado. Após a partida, o zagueiro do Peixe Gustavo Henrique comentou sobre a forte marcação do Verdão, especialmente na segunda etapa, quando o adversário criou mais chances.

– Creio que o primeiro tempo foi muito nivelado, a gente até teve mais posse de bola. No segundo tempo eles adiantaram a marcação, ficou difícil sair jogando lá de trás. A gente sabe da força do elenco do Palmeiras. Viemos aqui para tentar ganhar, mas pelo menos levamos um ponto – disse, ao Premiere.

Já na zona mista, em entrevista à ESPN, o defensor falou sobre a confusão que teve com Moisés durante o jogo:

– Naverdade, tinha sido uma confusão entre os jogadores. Eu cheguei lá para falar “calma, calma” e ele (Moisés) acabou me dando um soco. A gente estava de cabeça quente, mas depois pedimos desculpas um para o outro. É um cara que eu admiro muito, foi coisa de jogo.

Com o empate, o Peixe chegou a 19 pontos, seguindo na liderança do Grupo A. O vice-líder RB Brasil tem 14 pontos e, no domingo, visita o São Paulo. Na nona rodada do Paulistão, no próximo sábado, dia 2 de março, o Peixe recebe o Oeste no Pacaembu.

Se no ano passado o início do Campeonato Gaúcho tornou-se um verdadeiro problema para o Grêmio, tropeçando ao ponto de quase ficar de fora das quartas de final do torneio onde acabou campeão, dessa vez o Tricolor caminha absolutamente tranquilo na fase classificatória e, diante do Avenida nesse domingo (10) às 18h30 na Arena, joga por dois objetivos diferentes.

Além de buscar a manutenção na liderança do estadual, o embate coloca em jogo o título da Recopa Gaúcha, troféu disputado entre o campeão estadual da última temporada e o campeão da Copa Wianey Carlet (antiga Copa FGF), competição que dá vaga também na Copa do Brasil e na Série D do Brasileirão da temporada seguinte. Por isso, se o jogo terminar em empate, segue para a disputa de pênaltis.

Seja por uma disputa de taça estar em jogo como também pela carga menor de partidas que o mês de fevereiro apresenta ao Tricolor, a tendência é que Renato Portaluppi escale o que tem de melhor a sua disposição no plantel. A única ausência, nesse caso, fica por conta do lateral-direito Léo Moura devido a sua recuperação de contusão muscular na panturrilha.

O Avenida optou por fazer nesse sábado (9) um trabalho mais leve no aspecto tático no campo dos Eucaliptos, proporcionando aos atletas a chance de fazer o tradicional “rachão”.

Na Arena Castelão, o Vitória tentou segurar o Ceará, mas não conseguiu. Através do gol marcado por Rafael Sobis, o Leão voltou para casa em desvantagem e agora precisa vencer o jogo da volta por dois gols de diferença.

Na saída de campo, o lateral Carleto, um dos jogadores mais participativos do Vitória na partida, acredita que o time tem totais condições de reverter a situação.

‘O jogo se resumiu no primeiro tempo, em uma bola parada, onde eles conseguiram isso. A gente pediu para não fazer falta do lado. No segundo tempo, não teve jogo, foi mais pegado. Não dá para dizer que isso é futebol, com essa chuva. Mas está aberto. Agora é na nossa casa, a torcida vai lotar nosso estádio e temos condição de reverter isso aí’, afirmou ao SporTV.

Agora, Vitória e Ceará voltam a se encontrar na próxima quarta-feira, no estádio Barradão, em Salvador.

The BCCI is set to relocate Rajasthan Royal’s home games to Jaipur, after allotting the matches to Ahmedabad and Rajkot because of a dispute

Amol Karhadkar13-Feb-2013

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is set to host all of Rajasthan Royals’ home games during the upcoming edition of the IPL. The BCCI will relocate the matches to the original host city of the franchise after having allotted them to Ahmedabad and Rajkot following the prolonged dispute over use of the stadium.In a meeting between the IPL, Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) and Rajasthan Royals’ officials at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai, the RCA acting secretary KK Sharma was told to go ahead with the preparations. “The board gave us the nod during yesterday’s meeting and we have started the preparations,” Sharma told ESPNcricinfo. “We will work in tandem with Rajasthan Royals to ensure Jaipur stages a grand IPL show yet again.”The matches had been shifted out of Jaipur due to a standoff between the RCA and the Rajasthan state sports council, which owns the stadium. Since the memorandum of understanding (MoU) expired last July, both the parties had a disagreement about the terms of renewal. Since it was getting late, the BCCI had put the two venues in Gujarat on standby and then allotted the games to them.However, the Rajasthan High Court on Friday directed the sports council and the RCA to come to an agreement for the larger good of the cricket-loving public in Jaipur. So on Sunday, they signed an MoU for five years. RCA paid them Rs 1 crore immediately and handed over eight post-dated cheques of Rs 20 lakh each as rent for IPL games.As a result, the RCA were handed over the possession of the stadium on Monday. RCA curator Taposh Chatterjee had been working along with his team of groundstff to get the venue in shape for the Royals’ first home game, against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders on April 8.While Rajasthan Royals chief executive Raghu Iyer welcomed the move, saying Jaipur “has always been the preferred home ground for Royals”, he said that it would be the BCCI who will be the final authority. The BCCI will take a final call after inspecting the stadium in “around a fortnight’s time”.

The Pakistan Super League is set to be the latest money-spinning Twenty20 competition but English players have again be warned against participating by the player’s union

ESPNcricinfo staff20-Jan-2013

The Pakistan Super League is set to become the latest money-spinning Twenty20 competition but English players have again be warned against participating.The PSL is scheduled to be launched on March 26 and could be worth more than $100 million according to organisers but the Professional Cricketers Association, England’s players’ union, is reported to have “grave concerns” about security in Pakistan. It has contacted each county asking them to refuse to issue No Objection Certificates – which would deny players permission to take part.”Our advice is that players should not take part in the PSL,” PCA chief executive, Angus Porter, told the “I’m certain England will not issue No Objection Certificates to their centrally contracted players.”The PCA also expressed apprehension over the Bangladesh Premier League but several English players have been involved in the first two editions. Worries over payment guarantees haven’t deterred the likes of Joe Denly, the Middlesex batsman, who had his county’s backing to take up an offer to join Barisal Burners earlier in the week. Ravi Bopara, Owais Shah and Phil Mustard are among other English players at the BPL.But counties have been less inclined to allow their players permission to play in the IPL, which clashes with the start of the English season. Alex Hales, Michael Lumb and Samit Patel were all told by Nottinghamshire they could not take part if they were bought by a franchise. Monty Panesar does have permission to enter the player auction from Sussex.

Após contratar Alan Santos, o Botafogo pode perder um jogador para o setor de meio-campo em 2019. Isso porque, o Bahia consultou o Botafogo para saber as condições do volante e vice-artilheiro do Glorioso na temporada recém-encerrada – marcou nove gols em 51 partidas.

A informação foi publicada primeiramente pelo site Globoesporte.com e confirmada pelo LANCE!. Até por Lindoso estar para entrar em seu último ano de contrato, a expirar em dezembro de 2019, o Botafogo cogita ouvir uma eventual proposta por parte do Tricolor, que ainda não oficializou o interesse.

Às vésperas do fim do Brasileiro-2018, Lindoso concedeu uma entrevista coletiva na qual deixava em aberto o seu futuro. Ele também enalteceu os seus números pelo Botafogo, onde está desde meados da temporada 2015.

-Pessoal brinca que eu sou mais velho. Tudo que eu conquistei, a maioria das coisas, o clube me deu. O que vai dizer minha permanência. Procuro vivenciar o clube bem intensamente, isso que motiva aqui. Não posso garantir uma continuidade além do meu contrato, mas estou muito feliz – comentou.

Lindoso se tornou jogador importante no time de Zé Ricardo, que passou a dar mais liberdade para o meio-campista de 29 anos em algumas partidas. Rodrigo Lindoso, agora com 165 jogos, é o jogador do atual elenco com mais minutos pela camisa da Estrela Solitária.

كشف المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي مانشستر سيتي، بيب جوارديولا، عن حالة مدافعه، ناثان آكي، الذي كان مصابًا في الأيام الماضية وغيابه عن آخر 3 مباريات وكذلك كيفن دي بروين الذي لم يلعب أمام فولهام.

لم يلعب آكي في مباريات شيفليد يونايتد (كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي)، آرسنال وفولهام (الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز)، بسبب إصابة في أوتار الركبة منذ أسبوعين تقريبًا.

وتحدث جوارديولا عن حالة آكي في تصريحات بمؤتمره الصحفي استعدادًا لمباراة وست هام غدًا في الدوري الإنجليزي في تمام العاشرة مساءً بتوقيت “القاهرة”، وقال: “ناثان تدرب معنا بالأمس، لم يشعر بأي مشاكل من الإصابة”.

ودي بروين: “كيفن بدأ في الجري ولكنه لم يتدرب مع الفريق، سنرى ماذا سيحدث في التدريبات التي ستقام بعد ساعات قليلة”.

وتابع: “سيكون آكي متاحًا لمباراة الغد، سنحسم موقفنا من الإصابات في تدريب السادسة مساءً (بتوقيت القاهرة)”.

وأرقام هالاند القياسية: “من الجيد أن يحقق تلك الأرقام، سواء للفريق او لنفسه، الأرقام القياسية وجدت لكسرها وما وصل إليه كان رائعًا لأنه رقم ظل صامدًا لفترة طويلة، أمر طبيعي على لاعب مثل هالاند، أثق في أنه سيسجل الكثير من الأهداف قبل نهاية الموسم الحالي من الدوري الإنجليزي”.

وإقالة المدربين في الدوري الإنجليزي: “التدريب مثل أي وظيفة في العالم، كان يحدث ذلك في الماضي وسيحدث في المستقبل، بعض المدربين يحصلون على عقود طويلة الأجل ولكن كل شيء ينتهي بعد فترة قصيرة، الجميع يعرف أنهم معرضون للإقالة إذا لم يحققوا النتائج الجيدة، لا يهم من أين أتيت، من أنت، أنت دائما في خطر”.

وأضاف: “عليك أن تدرك كمدرب أن في بعض الأندية ستنجح والبعض الآخر لن تفعل ذلك، وذلك بناءً على عملك وكيفية اختيار الأسلوب المناسب لفريقك، إذا لم تكن نتائج جيدة ستكون هناك ضغوط على المدرب والمسئولين وربما يتم طردك”.

وجدول المباريات المضغوط: “أشعر بالتعب ولكن ليس من ساقيي، مازال هناك شهر وأسبوع وسنقاتل على جميع الألقاب لمدة أسبوعين قادمين، لكننا معتادين على هذا الحال منذ 6 أو سبع سنوات، ليست المرة الأولى التي ننافس فيها على هذه البطولات، لقد لعبت 7 مباريات في شهر واحد من قبل، نحن لسنا متعبين، إذا كان لديك أفكار جيدة، فأنت لست متعباً”.

واستمر: “مع بقاء 6 مباريات في الدوري الإنجليزي، يجب أن نتعافى بشكل جيد، يجب أن يكون الجميع متحدين من أجل الوصول لأهدافنا”.

وعن المنافسة مع آرسنال: “لا أنظر إلى نتائجهم، فأنا لا اتحكم بها، أركز على مباراة وست هام فقط، ربما نتائجهم مع ديفيد مويس لم تكن جيدة هذا الموسم، لأنهم في الموسم الماضي كانوا رائعين، لكنهم جيدون في الكرات الثابتة، رأيناهم يسجلون 3 أهداف أمام كريستال بالاس، لديهم أسلحة خطيرة مثل أنطونيو، لذلك يمكن أن يحدث كل شيء وعلينا أن نكون مستعدين”.

Dave Richardson, the ICC CEO, has said the ICC has a limited role to play in the resumption of international cricket in Pakistan

Umar Farooq12-Jan-2013

Dave Richardson, the ICC CEO, has said the ICC has a limited role to play in the resumption of international cricket in Pakistan and it will be down to the PCB to convince other nations that it is safe to play cricket in the country.”Security is not something that is taken lightly by anybody,” Richardson, who was in Pakistan for the PCB awards ceremony, said. “Making a decision as to whether it’s safe or not involves a serious assessment of the risk. The ICC is not in a position to do [security assessment]. It’s up to the member countries to decide. They have to take advice from their own security advisors and make decisions themselves.”The bottom line is that the ICC views Pakistan as a very important part of international cricket,” he said. “Pakistan is going through difficult times through no fault of the PCB. It’s our role to support Pakistan in its efforts to make sure that international cricket returns to Pakistan. As soon as possible is what everyone would like, but it’s difficult to say exactly when and I think that’s about as much as far as we can go at this stage.”Pakistan has remained a no-go country for international teams since the attack on the Sri Lanka team bus in 2009. In the past three years, Pakistan have played their ‘home’ series mostly in the UAE but reciprocal series at the junior level are on hold.Though the PCB has been desperate to revive international cricket, the efforts so far haven’t yielded any positive results.The PCB relies heavily on the government to arrange security for the visiting teams, but last year it sanctioned the purchase of bulletproof buses. Apart from working on security protocols, the PCB has been working on identifying potential new venues across the country and upgrading them to international standards. The board is also lobbying hard to win back the confidence of the teams.”Coming from a country [South Africa] which was out of international cricket for a very large period of my career, I know that if you concentrate on your domestic cricket and you make sure you encourage people to play the game even if it’s at first-class level you can reap tremendous rewards and in fact negative can turn into a positive and at the end of it all you might find that Pakistan cricket is much stronger than it was even before these difficult times.”Richardson also visited the National Cricket Academy where he was briefed about the developments in Pakistan cricket and PCB’s plans with regards to promotion and management of the game in the country.”The initiatives that PCB has put in place over the last 12 months or so I think it’s the correct way to go,” Richardson said and added that the recent “revival of ties with India” is a step in the right direction as the ties between the two countries are critical for world cricket.”The announcement of the Twenty20 competition [PSL] where foreign players will be entitled to come and play if available, again that is, I think, an initiative on the right path because what you’ve got to do is to regain the confidence of cricketing world and I think that’s a very sensible step in the right direction.”

ESPNcricinfo previews the first T20 international between England and New Zealand

The Preview by Alan Gardner24-Jun-2013Match factsJune 25, The Oval
Start time 6.30pm (1730 GMT)Eoin Morgan will lead England against New Zealand two days after his Champions Trophy final disappointment•Getty Images

Big PictureRemember New Zealand’s tour of England? Well, it didn’t end two weeks ago. Less than 48 hours after England failed to win their first piece of global 50-over silverware by losing a T20 shootout against India, the T20 leg of the New Zealand series will begin at The Oval. The insistent rumble of the Ashes, which got even louder on Monday, means that a squad made up of T20 specialists and assorted young tyros has been assembled, with none of England’s senior Test players involved. Oh, except for Kevin Pietersen, who could play in the second game on Thursday.In Stuart Broad’s absence, Eoin Morgan will lead a side likely to contain four of his Champions Trophy team-mates. The T20 team, logically, diverges the furthest from England’s Test blueprint and the likes of Michael Lumb, Alex Hales, Luke Wright and Jade Dernbach are regulars in the shortest form but there could still be a debutant or two involved, with call-ups for Yorkshire’s hard-hitting middle-order batsman Gary Ballance and the former Ireland seamer Boyd Rankin.New Zealand won the ODIs against England 2-1, raising expectations, but faltered in the Champions Trophy group stage, albeit that the weather played a big role in two of their games. The squad has been freshened up a little for what will be New Zealand’s last international fixtures before a few months off. Back at the start of February, these two teams began their 16-round tussle over two continents with England smashing the ball around Eden Park with record-breaking abandon. Hopefully there will still be some gas in the tank.Form guide (most recent first)England WLWWL
New Zealand LWLLW
In the spotlightRavi Bopara sneaked into England’s Champions Trophy squad and then proceeded to make himself an indispensible member of the team, at a time when many were prepared to write him off as an international nearly man. Bopara appeared to be a central component for England in the build up to the World Twenty20 last year, only to lose form and confidence at a crucial time. His last T20I innings was a single run from six balls in the Super Six defeat to Sri Lanka that sent the holders out but he now has the opportunity to further strengthen his renaissance credentials.New Zealand rarely seem to be short of nuggety allrounders to hit hard down the order and fill in with a few overs of medium pace. Corey Anderson was brought in as an ODI debutant in the Champions Trophy match against England, many thought precisely because of the threat of rain and a shortened game – he bowled one over at a cost of four runs and then biffed 30 in a revitalising partnership with Kane Williamson. The burly left-hander appears likely to get an opportunity to press his case ahead of James Franklin.Team newsApart from Pietersen, who will not be available for the first game, England have named a squad completely devoid of players likely to be involved in the Ashes. Alex Hales has struggled for runs with Nottinghamshire recently, while Jade Dernbach’s stock dipped when called into the ODI squad as cover before the Champions Trophy but the low-key nature of this series might be to their advantage. Boyd Rankin and Gary Ballance could both win their first caps for England.England 1 Michael Lumb, 2 Alex Hales, 3 Luke Wright, 4 Ravi Bopara, 5 Eoin Morgan (capt), 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Ben Stokes, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 James Tredwell, 10 Jade Dernbach, 11 Boyd Rankin/Danny BriggsHamish Rutherford returns after a few weeks in county cricket with Essex but the majority of the team will be familiar. Tom Latham provided some fireworks in New Zealand’s win over Kent on Sunday and could return to the middle-order, with Grant Elliott absent through injury. Ian Butler and Doug Bracewell will vie to deputise for Tim Southee, while Ronnie Hira provides another spin-bowling option.New Zealand 1 Hamish Rutherford, 2 Martin Guptill, 3 Brendon McCullum (capt, wk), 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Tom Latham, 6 Colin Munro, 7 Corey Anderson, 8 Nathan McCullum, 9 Ian Butler, 10 Kyle Mills, 11 Mitchell McClenaghanPitch and conditionsScene of England’s dominant Champions Trophy semi-final win, a different surface is likely to be used for the T20 but bounce and turn should still figure. The forecast is for a warm evening with some cloud cover, which could help the ball swing.Stats and trivia England have won seven out of nine T20s against New Zealand. The only previous T20 international played between them in England was a nine-wicket home victory at Old Trafford in 2008.
New Zealand have the top two T20 batsmen in the world – Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum – according to the current rankings.
Since making a half-century against Worcestershire at the start of May, Alex Hales has score 78 runs in 13 innings, with 11 single-figure scores.
