O principal elo para que o clube da Galícia cogitasse a contratação do atacante de 32 anos de idade por empréstimo que teria o pagamento de 500 mil euros (cotados atualmente em pouco mais de R$ 3 milhões) é o atual treinador do Celta, Eduardo Coudet.

Foi com o argentino que Galhardo viveu seu melhor momento no Inter, se consolidando como o artilheiro da equipe na última temporada, assumindo ainda mais a responsabilidade de ser o “homem gol” após a lesão de Guerrero, ao marcar 23 tentos em 54 partidas disputadas.

Depois da saída do treinador em questão do Colorado, Thiago Galhardo viveu um período de instabilidade técnica onde Yuri Alberto acabou ganhando espaço, relegando o avante a reserva.

Além do aspecto técnico, recentemente o staff do jogador e a diretoria do clube tiveram um desgaste com sua recente ausência na partida onde o Inter venceu por 4 a 2 o Fluminense no Beira-Rio. Enquanto a cúpula do time gaúcho disse que a direção resolveu afastá-lo da lista de relacionados, Flávio Trivella assegurou que Galhardo precisava resolver problemas pessoais no Rio de Janeiro e solicitou não estar no leque de opções para Diego Aguirre.

Jason Gillespie surprised England, Australia did not take a knee but backs 'genuine intent for change'

Gillespie also identifies with experiences of fellow Indigenous Australian player Dan Christian

Jason Gillespie understands fears – expressed by Michael Holding last week – that teams failing to take a knee in support of Black Lives Matter could mean cricket risks losing momentum in the fight against racism.Following Holding’s criticism of the Australia and England teams for not taking a knee in support of the movement during their limited-overs series, Gillespie – who is of Indigenous Australian descent – said he was in favour of doing so, but he was also confident that Cricket Australia and the ECB were committed to positive change.”I think it’s a nice gesture, I think it’s powerful,” Gillespie told ESPNcricinfo.”I saw Michael Holding make the comment. I think his worry is that it’s been a gesture and a very good gesture but it will get forgotten if it’s not continually out there reminding people. I’m sensing that’s what he feels, he wants to continue the story.”I think everyone would agree that things have happened in this world, people make a gesture and then it gets forgotten. So Michael’s thoughts, and I agree with what he’s saying, is let’s keep the gesture going, let’s keep the intent and keep it at the forefront of people’s minds and then we can keep having the conversations to inspire real change. And I susbscribe to that. I think he makes a good point.”However, I understand the Australian and England teams. They gave their reasons, they’re talking about education and moving forward. I think there’s genuine want and desire, both from the ECB and Cricket Australia and however they go about it, as long as we see genuine commitment to that, I think we can all hopefully move forward and see meaningful change.”ALSO READ: Gillespie condemns Yorkshire league chairman’s attack on RafiqHolding’s comments prompted Australia coach Justin Langer to acknowledge that his side did not commit enough time to learning about the issue before making a decision.But the remarks also drew a reaction from Jofra Archer, who claimed Holding “doesn’t know anything that is going on behind the scenes” and that progress was being made “in the background”.Speaking about the movement ahead of the tour to England, Aaron Finch, Australia’s captain, said that “education around it is more important than the protest”.On the decision by Australia and England not to take a knee, Gillespie said: “I was a little bit surprised they didn’t do it, however, they explained – Cricket Australia, the ECB – I think there is genuine intent for change.”Gillespie, who is Archer’s coach at Sussex, recently stood up for his player on Twitter, branding the racist abuse Archer faces on social media as a “disgrace”.Gillespie also identified with the experiences of another Indigenous Australian cricketer, Dan Christian, who has spoken of having his Aboriginality questioned, based on his appearance, in what he described as “casual racism”.”I can understand where Dan’s coming from,” Gillespie said. “I can remember having a similar experience at a function in the UK. It’s a bit annoying, however I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, the subject came up, I mentioned that I’m Indigenous and I was acknowledged as the first Aboriginal male Test cricketer in Australia.”And a couple of these people looked at me and said: ‘Really? Surely not.’ And I said: ‘What’s the issue? I think I know who I am, I’m of Aboriginal descent. I was the first acknowledged male Test cricketer of Aboriginal descent in Australian cricket.'”And they’re basically questioning me, they’re saying, ‘No, no you’re not, you can’t be, you don’t look Aboriginal’. I said, ‘Well, I know who I am’. And then I just left it. That’s one experience I had because it’s just assumed that you have to look a certain way to be someone.”Gillespie said he could empathise with British people of Asian descent who are born in the UK but are then questioned when they say they come from their birthplace.”It just comes down to education,” Gillespie said. “That situation that I was in, I genuinely don’t think there was any malice intended or any negativity, but the education needs to be better.”I know I don’t look like the stereotypical Indigenous person that people would see. I get that. But it’s that naivety that I suppose can be, and I’m assuming is, a real frustration for people.”I assume for people here in the UK, British Asians, that frustration, that ‘Why can’t you just accept the fact that I am born and bred here? This is my country. This is what I look like. This is who I am. Just be happy for who I am.'”To Gillespie, the solution is simple: “Everyone, just be accepting of everyone. We can cloud these issues over and over again but surely just keeping things simple, just accept people for who they are and everyone have a smile on their face and move on. It can’t be that difficult.”

Abel revela que Rony treinou como 'saci' durante lesão e celebra gol do atacante com a perna canhota

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras derrotou o Athletico-PR neste sábado (28) por 2 a 1 pelo Brasileirão. Rony, que não marcava há seis meses foi o responsável por garantir a vitória ao Verdão com o segundo gol do time na partida. Após o duelo, Abel Ferreira celebrou o feito do atacante, em especial, por ter sido com a perna canhota.

O treinador revelou que a lesão sofrida no adutor da coxa esquerda o impediu de finalizar com a esquerda durante um bom período nos treinos. Além disso comparou o camisa 7, em tom de brincadeira, ao saci, personagem folclórico brasileiro, por utilizar uma perna apenas.

– O Rony teve uma ruptura do tendão do adutor quase que total. Fico feliz por ter feito gol com a esquerda. Lembra do saci? Ele, no treino, fazia o saci. Não chutava com a esquerda. Estava com medo. Ficamos felizes por ter usado o pé esquerdo – afirmou.

Em sequência, Abel apontou que Rony tem passado por um ano difícil, assim como Luiz Adriano, depois da última temporada de destaque.

– O Rony, tal qual o Luiz Adriano, tem passado por uma temporada difícil e atípica. São jogadores que nos ajudam e vão continuar ajudando. Eles se ligam bem, mas tiveram os dois alguns problemas – declarou.

Ao final, ele também esclareceu as três substituições realizadas no início da segunda etapa, que mudaram a maneira de atacar do time na partida.

– Substitui o Veiga pelo Rony para dar mais velocidade. Breno a mesma coisa. O Veron tinha um determinado tempo para jogar e quem entrou, entrou bem. Parabéns pela equipe que manteve a calma após o gol sofrido. Calma e foco nas tarefas – concluiu.

Em decorrência do adiamento da partida contra o Ceará, o Palmeiras volta a campo apenas contra o Flamengo, pelo início do returno da competição. A partida está marcada para o dia 11 no Allianz Parque.

England expect South Africa tour go-ahead after quarantine agreement is reached

Tour expected to be hosted at Newlands and Paarl, and will feature three ODIs and three T20Is

England’s tour of South Africa looks set to be given the go-ahead after an agreement was reached allowing the squad to train during their quarantine period.ESPNcricinfo understands the South Africa government has agreed to waiver the normal requirements for visitors from counties deemed ‘high risk’ in terms of Covid-19 infection. A formal confirmation of the tour is expected imminently.As a result, the ECB are expected to charter a flight to Cape Town which will arrive on November 17, ahead of the first international match about 10 days later. The squad will stay at the Vineyard Hotel and train, initially at least, at the Western Province Cricket Club ground where they will play inter-squad warm-up games. South Africa will later join them at the same hotel.Had the South Africa government refused to allow a dispensation, the touring party would have been obliged to quarantine in their hotel rooms for at least a week at the start of the tour. It seems the ECB would have declined to tour under these circumstances.The squad will still be obliged to quarantine, but they will be allowed to train and use certain parts of the hotel during that period.The sides will play three ODIs and three T20Is on the tour. All the matches, to be split between Newlands (in Cape Town) and Boland Park (in Paarl) will be played behind closed doors.ALSO READ: ‘Priority’ to host England in India despite Covid – GangulyIt will be the first action for South Africa men’s national team since they returned home from India in March, when the pandemic hit. In that time, they have had series in Sri Lanka and West Indies postponed and have been unable to host India for three T20Is. While the cost of hosting a large England touring party consisting of more than 40 people will be significant, the tour could prove vital for a board desperate for income.Addressing the tour prospects during a Chance to Shine charity event, Eoin Morgan, England’s captain, acknowledged the importance of keeping international cricket afloat during this period of uncertainty, and said he was looking forward to the challenge even though it will be coming hot on the heels of his stint in the IPL.”There is a huge responsibility not just to get to your home country’s fixtures underway, but a huge responsibility to facilitate other countries around the world,” Morgan said. “We will do what we can to try and get cricket back on, because it means a huge amount for people in lockdown in their own countries, and also for Cricket South Africa financially.”I know the worry we had about potentially not bowling a ball all summer and the detrimental impact that would have,” he added, “probably to grassroots cricket more than any other part of the game. If the tour goes ahead, we’d love to come down, as the series we played last time was incredible.”England won the T20I leg of their white-ball tour of South Africa in February last year, having drawn the ODIs 1-1, and Quinton de Kock, South Africa’s captain, was also relishing the prospect of a return series.”If the boys do come over I’m sure it’ll be a good series once again,” he said during the Chance to Shine event. “The world saw the last series, even though we lost, we still played unbelievable cricket, so did England. We are hoping it will go on, but with the pandemic, who knows?”Meanwhile, talks are continuing about a short tour to Pakistan in mid-January. While the ECB are clearly keen to make the tour happen, there is an acceptance the squad might be something of a B or even C team. With England already committed to a two-Test series in Sri Lanka at the same time, and some players committed to T20 franchise cricket – the ECB will not insist anyone takes part on the tour – the series could prove an opportunity for fringe players.As things stand, the BCCI remain insistent their tour against England will be staged in India. While the BCCI recently signed an MoU creating closer ties with the Emirates Cricket Board, they are currently resisting suggestions that England’s tour will be staged in the UAE. Instead, they are looking at options which include hosting all the Tests in Mumbai and cutting the number of matches scheduled.Whether this is a viable plan or an attempt to shift public expectation ahead of the next IPL season, which is scheduled to get underway in March, remains unclear. At this stage, it seems that, when the schedule for England’s tour is published, it may well feature venues in India. But, with that MoU acting as a safety net, it remains probable the games will be played in the UAE.

Leicester could sign 6 ft 4 "warrior" to be their next Harry Maguire

Leicester City fans will hope an announcement that reveals who Enzo Maresca's successor is comes soon, with Graham Potter still leading the way to be the Italian's replacement.

With the transfer embargo at the Foxes looking likely to be lifted too, according to reports, next season could see Leicester thrive in the Premier League, rather than settling for safety after being crowned as champions of the second tier.

Graham Potter as Chelsea manager

The East Midlands outfit will want to press on to get a number of new signings in through the door soon, to bolster the squad ahead of the challenge of competing in the elite league again, with reinforcements in defence being targeted.

Leicester eyeing up their next Harry Maguire

According to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur are willing to offload Joe Rodon for just £10m this summer, with interest already there from Leicester among other Premier League clubs.

Fellow newly promoted sides Southampton and Ipswich Town are also reportedly queueing up to win the in-demand centre-back's permanent signature, after he impressed on loan with Leeds United last season, despite his loan club's inability to move back up to the top flight.

Joe Rodon in action for Leeds United.

Daniel Farke's men were keen on a reunion this summer, but no doubt Rodon will want to test himself in the top English division, having excelled in the Championship, with Leicester admiring him from afar in the promotion race presumably.

How Rodon can become Leicester's next Maguire

Rodon could end up becoming the Foxes' very next Harry Maguire if everything goes to plan, with Leicester signing the 6 foot 4 titan for a similar fee to what is now being touted for the ex-Leeds loanee, winning the now Manchester United defender's services for £17m after a breakout spell with Hull City.

Rodon would be cheaper, however, and could go on to perform like a colossus in a similar fashion to the England international, if his last campaign is anything to go by.

Before the 31-year-old became a common scapegoat at Old Trafford – with the excessive £80m fee Man United once paid for him arguably working against the ex-Foxes man – Maguire was a strong and imposing centre-back at the King Power Stadium.

From his 69 Premier League appearances for his former club, the defender would amass five goals and become a reliable source of important strikes coming up from the back , on top of being a brute presence full stop, winning an average of 5.8 duels per game during his swansong Foxes campaign.

Stats by Sofascore

Albeit whilst playing in the Championship, Rodon's numbers for last season better Maguire in a number of areas based on his 2018/19 showing, whilst also nearly matching up with the Man United centre-back in other aspects.

As can be seen looking at the table above, the Welshman can be an imposing figure – coming in at 6 foot 4 too – but also a calm and measured passer of the ball out from the back.

Rodon could, therefore, offer even more than Maguire managed during his final season, if the 26-year-old can handle the step-up in quality, after being a top dog in the league below.

Described as possessing a "warrior mentality" by his ex-Whites boss in Farke, when Leeds were scrapping for their lives at the start of last season to make up for a slow start, he could be the perfect person to bring in if Leicester find themselves submerged in a relegation fight.

Who will occupy the Leicester hot seat still remains to be seen, but if the next manager made Rodon their first capture, he would be an instantly popular boss.

مدرب تشيلسي يرد على اهتمام برشلونة بضم نكونكو

رد المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي تشيلسي، إنزو ماريسكا، على أنباء اهتمام برشلونة بضم اللاعب، كريستوفر نكونكو، سواء في يناير أو الصيف.

ويلعب نكونكو مع تشيلسي منذ صيف عام 2023 ويستمر عقده مع الفريق حتى صيف 2029، لكن هناك الكثير من الشائعات تتردد حول إمكانية رحيله.

حيث أفادت التقارير الإخبارية أن برشلونة يرغب في ضم نكونكو في الشتاء أو الصيف المقبلين لتدعيم صفوفه ولكن العقبة هي الخوف من إصاباته.

لكن اللاعب شارك في الموسم الحالي في 25 مباراة بجميع البطولات وسجل 12 هدفًا وصنع 4 آخرين في إجمالي 1008 دقيقة.

وتحدث ماريسكا عن مستقبل نكونكو، وقال الإيطالي في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية: “نحب كريستو ونريده هنا معنا في تشيلسي”.

وأضاف: “سيكون هناك دائمًا لاعبون غير سعداء وبعضهم سيطلب الرحيل في يناير، لست متأكدًا مما إذا كانت هذه ستكون حالة نكونكو أو لاعب آخر، نريد الاحتفاظ بالجميع”.

وكان نكونكو قد انضم إلى تشيلسي في صيف العام الماضي قادمًا من لايبزيج بمقابل مادي قيمته 60 مليون يورو.

Spurs struck gold on £40m ace who’s now worth even more than Eze

Eberechi Eze is a name that’s been circulating in the Tottenham Hotspur fanbase over the last few weeks.

The reason for this is due to the Crystal Palace star being linked with a move to Spurs recently, and given his quality, it’s no surprise the Lilywhites faithful are excited.

Palace’s number ten was absolutely instrumental in the Premier League, scoring 11 goals and providing four assists.

A big price tag may well be needed to prise him away from Selhurst Park, although it's not more than one of their current star men.

What Spurs paid for Cristian Romero

Prior to the start of the 2021/22 campaign, Tottenham reinforced their backline with Cristian Romero from Atalanta.

The Argentine moved to Spurs off the back of an impressive Champions League and Serie A campaign in Bergamo, picking up three goals and five assists in 42 appearances across all competitions.

Romero originally joined on a season-long loan, starting 22 league games in his debut Premier League season and becoming an important player.

Therefore, upon the expiration of his loan, Spurs triggered his option to buy for £41m without hesitation, with Daniel Levy viewing him as a player who could develop into a world-class defender at Tottenham.

Christian Romero and Son Heung-min applaud the fans after a Premier League clash from Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Romero’s signature wasn’t exactly cheap, as they also had to meet his salary demands, and he eventually signed a £165k per week deal until 2027.

Romero’s transfer value in 2024

His first season as a permanent Spurs player featured plenty of ups and downs, including picking up two red cards.

However, under Ange Postecoglou, the World Cup winner has progressed brilliantly, starting 33 times in the Premier League last season.

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero

The centre-back ended the campaign as Spurs’ fourth-highest goalscorer with five, while also boasting the most passes completed, interceptions, and clearances in the squad.

Tottenham’s “perfect” defender, as dubbed by football scout Jacek Kulig, has truly become irreplaceable, acting as a true leader at the heart of the backline, but what is he exactly worth today?

Value

William Saliba

£68m

Ruben Dias

£68m

Gabriel Magalhaes

£59m

Cristian Romero

£51m

Micky van de Ven

£47m

Via Transfermarkt

Well, as you can see from the table above, Romero is now estimated to be worth an incredible £51m, as per Transfermarkt.

This makes the 26-year-old the fourth-most valuable centre-back in the entire Premier League, only behind the Arsenal duo and Ruben Dias, which just proves how important he truly is.

On top of that, he’s currently the second-highest valued player in the entire Spurs squad, only behind James Maddison, who’s worth £59m.

Interestingly, despite the season that Eze just had, Romero is also worth more than the attacking midfielder, who’s currently valued at £47m. The Palace sensation was a true hit last term and would be a fantastic signing for Tottenham.

Fans may even get a look at him in action at Euro 2024 with the winger earning a well-deserved call-up to Gareth Southgate's England squad for the tournament.

Nevertheless, as impressive as Eze has been, it’s also quite clear that Romero is one of the finest in England, with his £51m market value reflecting that perfectly.

Despite costing £41m originally, Spurs have truly hit the jackpot on the number 17, and if he continues to perform as he did last season, he’ll only be viewed as an even bigger bargain.

What Spurs' starting lineup could look like after £201m spending spree

Spurs will want to give Postecoglou everything he needs to build a successful side this summer.

Stiaan van Zyl to fill 2021 overseas slot at Sussex but Kolpak 'joy-ride' over for David Wiese

End of Kolpak era means Wiese moving on but van Zyl will see out contract as an overseas player

Matt Roller06-Oct-2020

Sussex have confirmed that Stiaan van Zyl will stay at the club in 2021 despite the end of Kolpak registrations, fulfilling his contract on overseas terms, while David Wiese’s time at Hove is set to come to an end.Van Zyl, who signed a three-year extension in early 2019 after initially joining the club in 2017, missed the 2020 county season due to restrictions on international travel and club finances, and it was mutually agreed that he would return as an overseas player next summer.Wiese, the South African allrounder, has left the club at the end of his contract after four seasons as a Kolpak player, but a Sussex statement said that he could still return as an overseas player for the T20 Blast.The ECB confirmed in writing to counties two weeks ago that Kolpak registrations would be invalid once the UK’s transition period with the European Union comes to an end on December 31, with affected players either leaving their clubs or re-signing as overseas players. Players with settled or pre-settled status in the UK through EU citizenship will be free to continue playing as locals.Counties will be allowed to field two overseas players in all formats next season, having previously been permitted only one in the County Championship and Royal London Cup.Travis Head, the Australia batsman, is due to be Sussex’s second main overseas player after having his contract for this summer deferred to 2021, but it remains to be seen which formats he will play. With Rashid Khan, whose contract was cancelled this year to allow him to play in the CPL and the IPL, also under consideration for a T20-only deal, it could be that van Zyl and Head only play in the County Championship and the Royal London One-Day Cup. “Obviously the government is kicking us out of here with Brexit at this stage, and I suppose the joy-ride had to come to an end at some stage,” Wiese joked after Sussex’s Blast quarter-final defeat to Lancashire last week. “It’s been a good couple of years for me, and hopefully it’s not the end.”I could come back as an overseas – obviously it’s trying times financially, a lot of the clubs are in tough positions and there are contracts in place with other players, so we’ll have to see what the future holds. I’ll go back home, chill out with a bit of family time and hopefully things work out in the future that I can come back here.”David Wiese carves into the off side•Getty Images

Wiese is the latest Sussex player to depart in a period of transition for the club. Luke Wells and Harry Finch will both be released at the end of their contracts, while Danny Briggs has signed for Warwickshire and Laurie Evans spent the season on loan at Surrey ahead of a permanent move. George Garton, Tom Haines and Delray Rawlins have all signed new deals.Meanwhile, head coach Jason Gillespie has returned home to take up the South Australia job, with the club not expected to recruit a replacement until the start of next year. Assistant coaches James Kirtley, Ian Salisbury and Jason Swift are all likely to be candidates.
