O começo de carreira de João Pedro é espetacular. O atacante de 17 anos foi o protagonista da vitória de 4 a 1 do Fluminense sobre o Atlético Nacional, nesta quinta-feira, pela Copa Sul-Americana. O camisa 23 saiu do Maracanã com três gols e carregando uma marca nunca vista antes no futebol brasileiro.

Com os três gols marcados diante do Atlético Nacional, João Pedro balançou a rede em sete oportunidades, tendo disputado dez jogos como profissional. A quantidade de tentos e a média de 0,7 gols por duelo superam o começo das carreiras de Romário e Ronaldo, dois atacantes históricos do esporte em solos tupiniquins.

A vantagem de João Pedro para os dois atacantes, aliás, é larga. Ronaldo, jogando pelo Cruzeiro, em 1993, fez cinco gols nos dez primeiros jogos da carreira. O artilheiro do pentacampeonato mundial balançou a rede uma vez contra Bahia e Flamengo nas, respectivamente, terceira e quarta partidas na categoria principal da Raposa. Além disso, marcou um hat-trick contra o Colo-Colo, pela Supercopa Libertadores.

Romário, por sua vez, também teve um início repleto de protagonismo, mas fica atrás de João Pedro se a pauta for a média de gols por minutos disputados. O atacante do Fluminense possui dez jogos como profissional, mas entrou no decorrer dos duelos na maioria deles, tendo sete gols em 216 minutos. O baixinho, nos mesmos dez jogos, balançou a rede em 13 oportunidades, mas participando de 850 minutos.

O atacante do Fluminense, neste período, vai às redes uma vez a cada 30 minutos. O baixinho, por sua vez, teve a marca de um gol por, em média, por 65 minutos. Desta forma, o início de João Pedro, que jogou menos de dez minutos por partida em cinco oportunidades, é mais positivo. A média de Ronaldo, por sua vez, foi de um gol a cada 186 minutos neste período.

No fim das carreiras, Ronaldo e Romário terminaram com, respectivamente, 414 e 762 gols, contando apenas partidas oficiais – já que o Baixinho alcançou uma margem milenar se jogos não-oficiais forem contabilizados. Além disto, os dois também marcaram época no futebol mundial, sendo eleitos melhores jogadores do planeta.

João Pedro chamou a responsabilidade na sua primeira partida como titular do Fluminense como jogador profissional. Os três gols do camisa 23 simbolizam a larga vantagem que o Tricolor construiu na Copa Sul-Americana e, acima de tudo, o começo de uma história que pode ser tão boa quanto a de atacantes que fizeram época em tempos passados.

Sri Lanka’s spinners effected a mid-innings trauma, before Angelo Mathews’ collected 74 not out overcame a collapse of their own, to extend Sri Lanka’s unbeaten run in Bangladesh

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsAngelo Mathews revived Sri Lanka from 8 for 3•AFP

Sri Lanka’s spinners effected a mid-innings trauma and Bangadesh returned the favour, before Angelo Mathews’ collected 74 not out overcame a collapse and sealed victory. The hosts’ bowlers made a game of the dead rubber, carving through Sri Lanka’s in-form top order early in the chase, but a target of 205 had always seemed insufficient, even on a worn pitch. Bangladesh’s lack of ambition both with the bat and in the field perhaps ceded crucial moments to the opposition, who strode home by three wickets, and one over remaining to extended their unbeaten run in the country.The Bangladesh openers had made 74 before Ajantha Mendis made the incision that began a top-order haemorrhage – five wickets for 45 runs. Mendis befuddled Shamsur Rahman with an offbreak, hitting him on the pads with a ball that would have clipped leg stump, before sneaking one under Mominul Haque’s bat four balls later.Mushfiqur Rahim attempted an injudicious scoop off Chaturanga de Silva three overs later, and was also trapped in front, before part-time offspinner Ashan Priyanjan struck twice in his three overs. Perhaps eager to complete his second consecutive half-century, Anamul Haque advanced to Priyanjan’s first ball, but chipped it to Lahiru Thirimanne at midwicket, who snaffled the chance in a diving second attempt. Shakib Al Hasan sought to spur a now-flagging run rate, but in the 34th over, an inside edge off an attempted shot through cover carried to short midwicket. His demise left the team at 119 for 5. They would never really recover.That Sri Lanka’s innings was not similarly derailed was thanks to Mathews’ increasing appetite for finishing matches, allied with a sharpening cricketing wit. Sri Lanka never faced a tall required rate, so he shelved his familiar belligerence and forged an innings of restraint. He struck at 71 and only played three violent strokes in the innings – an advancing six over long off and two heaves through midwicket, one of which brought the winning runs. Bangladesh made a late surge, dismissing Chaturanga de Silva and Thisara Perera when Sri Lanka were in sight of victory, but Mathews did not allow losses to rattle him.Sri Lanka’s collapse had occurred at the outset. Kusal Perera swiped at an Al-Amin Hossain short ball, sending a thin edge to the keeper, before Kumar Sangakkara was handed his first failure of the tournament, nicking to slip as he cover drove. With plenty of overs remaining to achieve the modest target, Mahela Jayawardene may have hoped to bat himself into touch, but he was thwarted by his partner before he had made a run. Lahiru Thirimanne called him through for a single, then sent him back, after Jayawardene had traveled most of the distance to the other end. He was short by a distance, leaving Sri Lanka at 8 for 3.Ashan Priyanjan and Thirimanne promised a sustained resurgence, as they became accustomed to the pace of the pitch, but a Mushfiqur hunch brought another wicket: Ziaur Rahman, who had bowled only 12 overs in the series, drew an outside edge from Priyanjan in the 15th, before Thirimanne departed eight overs later, as Rubel Hossain sprinted around from long-on to take a catch in front of the sightscreen.At 75 for 5, Mathews and de Silva joined to provide the definitive partnership in the match. Like Mathews, de Silva began sedately, but soon was matching his captain shot for shot, showcasing particular ease against spin, as he mined gaps square of the wicket, and found the fence when the bowlers missed their lengths. Their march was measured and efficient, with 82 runs off 98 balls, but it was not without incident; Mathews edged just wide of the keeper on 21, and de Silva had two leading edges fall short of fielders. Mushfiqur was perhaps also guilty of allowing the match to meander. Too many of Sri Lanka’s runs were achieved without risk.Sri Lanka’s decision to rest Lasith Malinga had eased the Bangladesh openers’ task, but the hosts had begun cautiously nonetheless, seeking the same security at the top of the innings that had been the foundation for their plunder in their last match. Suranga Lakmal extracted away-swing and Thisara was accurate, but neither was a significant menace to batsmen intent largely on seeing them out. Anamul progressed largely in singles, but Shamsur was more reliant on boundaries. When the spinners arrived, he smote Sachithra Senanayake through the covers off consecutive balls. But the spurt would not last long.Mahmudullah and Nasir Hossain kept the hosts afloat with a 55-run stand after the collapse, but when their expansive attempts were repeatedly thwarted by the slowness of the surface, they settled for the singles Sri Lanka were content to offer them. The batting Powerplay brought only 18 runs, and though they had set themselves for a dash in the last 10 overs, both batsmen were dismissed by Lakmal for 30.Malinga was barely missed at the death as Lakmal provided the yorker-length balls. His penultimate over went for only two runs, and there were no boundaries off the bat between the 44th and 49th overs. Thisara knocked two men over after Ziaur Rahman broke that drought to lift the hosts beyond 200.

The Yuvraj Singh-Virat Kohli partnership didn’t have a happy ending in the World T20 final, but less than two weeks after that night in Mirpur, their association in Sharjah followed a different script

Hattangadi – Delhi lost it in the first six overs

The Yuvraj Singh-Virat Kohli partnership didn’t have a happy ending in the World T20 final, but less than two weeks after that night in Mirpur, their association in Sharjah followed a different script. Swapping India’s blue for Bangalore’s red, the pair made easy work of Delhi’s 145, helping Bangalore stroll to a eight-wicket win. Yuvraj was circumspect to begin with but later on brought out his power game to not only outscore Kohli but help Bangalore march to the target with plenty to spare.The bedrock of the chase was Kohli, who benefited from two let-offs in his 20s to remain unbeaten on 49. The pair added 84 in just 7.5 overs, nullifying the unbeaten 110-run association between Delhi’s JP Duminy and Ross Taylor that helped Delhi recover from a wobbly 35 for 4.Bangalore were never under serious pressure during the chase, especially after opener Parthiv Patel gave the innings a push with a positive 35, in the absence of Chris Gayle to injury. He charged down the track to the seamers, forcing the ball down the ground and pulling a six, off the left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem, out of the ground. After he was bowled in the ninth over, Bangalore were at a comfortable 62 for 2, giving Yuvraj the platform to play himself into form, with the security of Kohli at the other end.Yuvraj didn’t look secure initially, taking his eyes off a short ball and hooking a boundary to fine leg. He found his groove with a flat six over long-on off the legspinner Rahul Sharma and some wayward bowling by Nadeem gave Yuvraj the chance to pepper the leg-side boundaries with his favourite slogs.Delhi needed wickets but when the chances came their way, they fluffed them. Jimmy Neesham fluffed the simplest of catches at short fine leg when Kohli was on 23, and when the batsman had added one more, he was put down by Mayank Agarwal at deep cover. Against arguably the best chaser in the world, regulation drops will come back to hurt. It was clearly Bangalore’s night as Yuvraj and Kohli closed out the chase with more blows over the boundary. Yuvraj managed his first IPL fifty in 20 innings and the smile was back on his face.Delhi found it tough on a two-paced Sharjah pitch, struggling to get the run rate above five in the first ten overs. The loss of early wickets slowed them down. Agarwal fell top-edging a pull to square leg as the frustration to score began to build, and Delhi were pegged back further when Dinesh Karthik and Manoj Tiwary fell for 0 and 1 respectively.The strategic timeout didn’t change Delhi’s fortunes as M Vijay, who had made a start with 18, was bamboozled by the legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Vijay was playing for the turn but the ball straightened and shaved the off stump. At 35 for 4 in the eighth over, Delhi desperately needed a big partnership at a good clip to compensate for the sluggish scoring in the first half.It was a scratchy innings from Taylor as he cursed himself when he played and missed, in an effort to push the scoring. Chahal got it to turn and grip and the googlies were a handful for Taylor. The boundaries had dried up for seven overs before Taylor broke the shackles with a flick to fine leg off Ashok Dinda.The momentum in the latter half was provided by Duminy, who unlike Taylor found the middle of the bat regularly. He lofted Yuvraj for a six to the sightscreen before scooping Dinda to the same area. Dinda was ineffective at the death yet again as he leaked 51 off his four overs. Delhi took 30 off the last two overs and 63 off the last five but in the end, 145 wasn’t enough.

Nos anos de 1970 não havia a quantidade de jogos transmitidos pela televisão como hoje em dia. O que massificava o futebol ainda era o rádio. Os jogos do campeonato carioca, então o mais popular e de maior repercussão no país, eram transmitidos em cadeia nacional comandada pela Rádio Globo, do Amazonas ao Rio Grande do Sul. As vozes poderosas de Waldir Amaral e Jorge Cury, que se revezavam na locução, um em cada tempo, mexiam com a imaginação do torcedor a cada lance de perigo. Cada um de nós, na verdade, visualizava a jogada do seu jeito. Os comentários táticos de João Saldanha, as análises sempre contundentes do ex-juiz Mario Vianna – com dos enes – procuravam dar um sentido ao que se passava em campo.

Foi nessa época que Luizinho Lemos, Luizinho Tombo ou simplesmente Luizinho construiu sua história. Não era um camisa nove técnico, não tinha a categoria de muitos dos craques com quem atuou. Mas tinha um raríssimo faro de gol. Raçudo, rápido, determinado como poucos quando avançava em direção à meta adversária, era um verdadeiro terror para os zagueiros. Era um atacante diferenciado, de um tempo em que o futebol era diferente. Tinha uma boa dose de romantismo, uma alegria e uma espontaneidade que aproximava o jogador do torcedor, estabelecia mais do que uma idolatria, uma relação de cumplicidade. Luizinho era um autêntico representante do povão dentro de campo.

Quando eu era garoto, nas arquibancadas do Maracanã, nos gols da rodada no fim do domingo ou principalmente nas fotos em cor de rosa do velho Jornal dos Sports, vibrava com a imagem daquele jogador de camisa cor de sangue, cabelos longos e desalinhados, comemorando seus muitos gols sempre pertinho dos torcedores da geral, de braços abertos e um sorriso de orelha a orelha no rosto. Se pudesse, ele saltaria por cima do fosso para abraçar a galera. Um estilo espalhafatoso que – assim como a cabeleira – era uma marca característica de toda a família Lemos, dele e dos irmãos Caio Cambalhota e César Maluco que como ele fizeram a alegria do torcedor por onde passaram.

Luizinho foi um dos responsáveis pela ascensão do América naqueles tempos. E pela simpatia que o clube alvirrubro despertava mesmo nos torcedores de outros times. O que se dizia no Rio daquela época é que o América era o segundo time de todo mundo. E era verdade. Dava gosto ver e torcer por aquele timaço. Em 1974, quando venceu a então valorizada Taça Guanabara, a escalação do Mecão tinha Rogério no gol, Orlando Lelé, Geraldo, Alex, Ivo e Álvaro; Flecha, Bráulio, Luizinho, Edu (o irmão de Zico) e Gilson Nunes. Vários desses nomes brilharam depois em times como o Flamengo, o Vasco, o Internacional, alguns chegaram à seleção brasileira.

No Brasil, Luizinho defendeu também o Flamengo de Zico, que pagou por seu passe um dos valores mais altos do futebol brasileiro de então, o Botafogo, o Internacional e o Palmeiras, além de Ferroviário e Americano, já no final da carreira. Teve rápidas passagens pelo exterior, em clubes da Espanha, do México e do Qatar. Mas, embora tenha rodado pelo mundo, o América sempre foi o porto seguro do atacante, a casa a que dedicou a maior parte de sua vida. Ele saía, mas acabava voltando. Nas três passagens pela Rua Campos Salles, marcou 311 gols, que o tornaram o maior artilheiro da história alvirrubra, quase uma centena à frente de Edu, o segundo da lista, com 212.

Quando pendurou as chuteiras – essa era uma expressão típica do jornalismo esportivo do século passado – Luizinho começou a carreira de treinador, não por acaso, no comando do América, onde ficou de 1994 a 1996. Por um capricho do destino, ele dirigia outra vez o mesmo América, quase 25 anos depois, quando sofreu o problema cardíaco, durante a semana passada, num jogo contra o Nova Cidade, de Nilópolis, pela segunda divisão do campeonato estadual do Rio. Luizinho tombou fazendo o que mais gostava na vida. O coração o traiu, contudo, antes que realizasse um sonho: levar Mequinha outra vez à elite carioca, o que julgava ser o primeiro passo para resgatar os velhos e bons tempos. E virar outra vez um Mecão.

يرى جناح نادي ليفربول وآرسنال الأسبق، جيرمان بينانت، أن رحيل محمد صلاح عن قلعة “أنفيلد” أمر لا مفر منه في المستقبل.

وارتبط محمد صلاح في الفترة الماضية بإمكانية الانتقال إلى اتحاد جدة في الدوري السعودي، لكن هناك رفض تام من قبل ليفربول تجاه الموافقة على رحيل المصري الدولي.

يأتي رفض ليفربول رغم ضغط الاتحاد السعودي على ضم اللاعب بعروض مالية قوية آخرها كان يقدر بمبلغ 150 مليون يورو مع راتب قدره 200 مليون يورو على مدار 3 سنوات.

وينتهي عقد محمد صلاح مع ليفربول في 30 يونيو 2025، بعدما جدد الفرعون المصري عقده القديم في يوليو 2022 مع رفع راتبه الأسبوعي إلى 300 ألف جنيه إسترليني.

وعلق بينانت على مستقبل محمد صلاح في تصريحات نقلتها شبكة “DAZN” الإيطالية، وقال: “بالنسبة لي، لا يتعلق الأمر بموعد رحيله، لأنه سيرحل في النهاية”.

وتابع: “لا أعتقد أن ليفربول سيسمح له بالرحيل هذا الموسم، لكن مثل هاري كين، قد يغادر النادي قبل موسمه الأخير بصفقة كبيرة ربما تكون إلى الدوري السعودي”.

وواصل: “إذا رحل، فمن المحتمل أن يكون ذلك في الموسم القادم، لكن خسارته الآن قبل ساعات قليلة من غلق سوق الانتقالات، لن يكون له معنى، سيكون الأمر سيئًا للغاية بالنسبة للنادي”.

وأضاف: “إذا سمح له ليفربول بالرحيل في الميركاتو الحالي، ستكون كارثة، مثل بيع توتنهام لمهاجم هاري كين، لقد خسروا معدل تهديفي كبير يصل إلى 30 هدفًا في الموسم الواحد”.

وأتم: “هذا ما سيخسره ليفربول عند بيع محمد صلاح، سيخسرون الكثير من الأهداف وصناعتها، هذا ما يفعله اللاعب دائمًا، لذلك فهم يحتاجون لاستمراره في الوقت الحالي”.

Depois de passagem tímida em relação a gols (dois em 23 partidas) no futebol da Coreia do Sul, mais precisamente o Gyeongnam, o atacante Paulinho, ex-Flamengo, Vitória, Guarani e Santos, assinou com o Náutico para o restante da temporada.

Feliz com o novo desafio, o jogador revelou que vive expectativa grande para fazer um grande segundo semestre no clube.

– Estou muito feliz por ter acertado com o Náutico, um clube grande, com uma torcida que sempre está presente em todos os momentos. Vou trabalhar muito para fazer um grande segundo semestre com todos no clube. Chego muito motivado para fazer um grande trabalho com a camisa do clube neste ano”, disse.

Principal contratação do Corinthians para esta temporada, o argentino Mauro Boselli foi testado como referência no ataque pelo técnico Fábio Carille. No treino desta terça, o comandante do Timão sacou o garoto Mateus Vital do meio de campo, recuou Vagner Love para a ponta esquerda e colocou o hermano como principal homem de frente do Alvinegro.

A atividade com bola não contou com a presença de sete jogadores. Além de Cássio e Fagner que servem a Seleção Brasileira na Copa América, Ramiro, Jadson e Gustagol ficaram na parte interna do CT Joaquim Grava, enquanto os pontas Clayson e Everaldo aqueceram com o restante do elenco, mas não participaram do restante do treinamento.

O time titular foi formado por Walter; Bruno Méndez, Manoel, Henrique e Danilo Avelar; Ralf e Júnior Urso; Régis, Pedrinho e Vagner Love; Mauro Boselli. A entrada do argentino foi a grande mudança feita por Carille, que havia treinado no mesmo esquema tático na última segunda, mas com Mateus Vital escalado pelo lado esquerdo e Love como centroavante.

Com alguns nomes improvisados, a equipe reserva atuou com Caíque; Romero, João Victor, Marllon e Carlos Augusto; Gabriel e Matheus Jesus; Araos, Sornoza e Mateus Vital; Janderson. Os suplentes tiveram mais a posse da bola, mas não saíram gols durante a atividade que durou aproximadamente 30 minutos.

Antes da atividade coletiva, os jogadores fizeram exercícios de troca de passes e de finalizações e triangulações. Em um campo ao lado, Renê Júnior, Everaldo, Clayson e o volante Roni trabalharam com os preparadores físicos. Os jogadores correm contra o relógio para ficarem à disposição antes do reinício do Brasileirão, no dia 14 de julho.

In an effort to quicken the rate of transformation in South African cricket, domestic teams will be subject to increased quotas from the 2014-15 season

Firdose Moonda20-Jun-2014

In an effort to quicken the rate of transformation in South African cricket, domestic teams will be subject to increased quotas from the 2014-15 season. CSA’s board approved a new quota that will require franchises to field at least five players of colour, of which two must be black Africans. Provincial teams will have to have six players of colour in their XIs, including at least three black Africans.For the last decade the six franchises were expected to name four players of colour in their starting XI and provincial teams had to have five, while the black African component is a relatively new aspect of the system. Shortly after the start of last summer, CSA introduced this target within a target, which was initially proposed as a two-black-Africans-per-franchise quota. CSA backtracked on that in October 2013, only to enforce it a season later.”It is a fact that we have still not succeeded in unlocking the vast cricket talent among black African people and next season we will expect the affiliate and franchise presidents, CEOs and their coaches to assume direct responsibility to do so.” Haroon Lorgat, the CSA chief executive said.The increased focus on black African players comes as South African cricket struggles to explain the shortage of players from the country’s majority race group, to both its fans and government. Although the minister of sport Fikile Mbalula retracted a demand that all national teams must have 60% people of colour, he had specific meetings with five federations, of which cricket was one, to discuss transformation.South Africa’s Test team last fielded a black African player in January 2011, when Lonwabo Tsotsobe played against India. Tsotsobe remains the only regular black African player in the limited-overs teams, although he will miss next month’s tour of Sri Lanka as he recovers from ankle surgery.At lower-levels, South African cricket is more representative. The under-19 team that was victorious in February’s World Cup was the most transformed team in South Africa’s history. The squad of 15 included eight players of colour with four black Africans. The South Africa A team to tour Australia this year has nine players of colour in the 15-man four-day squad with five black Africans, and ten players of colour in the one-day squad with four black Africans.Among the franchises, all teams managed to field at least four players of colour throughout the 2013-14 season, and three – Cobras, Lions and Dolphins – fielded five players of colour on average. Cobras and Warriors were the only two franchises whose black African contingent was one player, while Lions, Dolphins, Titans and Knights regularly fielded two black Africans. This suggests they should all be able to meet the new quota comfortably, though Cobras and Warriors may go shopping for black African talent elsewhere.Other decisions taken at CSA’s board meeting were to revamp the second-tier of domestic cricket – the provincial structure. As reported by ESPNcricinfo in May the number of first-class matches played by teams will decrease, with cost-cutting the focus in this level of the game, which is still without a sponsor. “It is critical for us to re-engineer ourselves to ensure future sustainability and growth, and in this process we will search for a new sponsorship to launch this competition in the coming season,” Lorgat said.One area that does not have that problem is women’s cricket. Thanks to a deal with financial services company Momentum, the number of contracted players will increase from six to 14, which will mean South Africa has a fully professional women’s squad for the first time.
