Ned Eckersley’s unbeaten 99 enabled Leicestershire to keep alive their hopes of avoiding a heavy defeat by Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl.Eckersley went to the brink of his third first-class century in an innings spread over 170 balls and which has so far including 17 boundaries as Hampshire were also frustrated by the weather.Bad light and rain wiped 24 overs from the third day’s allocation as Leicestershire fought tenaciously to reach 182 for five – still trailing by 129 – and take a one-sided match into a fourth day.Leicestershire began their second innings needing 312 to make Hampshire bat a second time and with the pitch still offering help to the pace bowlers and, later, to the spin of Danny Briggs.Sean Ervine made the first breakthrough for Hampshire when he pinned Michael Thornely leg before wicket for 28 but it was their only success before the lunch interval.Niall O’Brien batted almost 28 overs for his 17 before James Vince at second slip clutched a smart catch off Chris Wood and there was worse to follow for Leicestershire when their captain Ramnaresh Sarwan soon followed O’Brien to the pavilion.Sarwan managed only three before driving James Tomlinson, who took four for 23 in the first innings, to point where Michael Carberry held the catch.Leicestershire slumped to 95 for 4 when Joshua Cobb was held by Vince’s reflex catch at short leg and only then did a minor recovery begin, inspired by Eckersley.With Matthew Boyce as his fifth wicket partner, Eckersley dominated a stand of 64 in 26 overs and for the first time in two days in the field Hampshire were struggling to make the best of their dominance.Briggs eventually ended the partnership when Boyce, who had made 30, drove to Wood at backward point to leave Leicestershire on 159 for five.Shiv Thakor then supported Eckersley until the close although much depends on the pair if Hampshire are to be denied an opening-fixture victory after being on top for so long.

Glamorgan imploded in spectator style when in sight of victory on an afternoon of astonishing drama that saw Glen Chapple rally Lancashire to victory

A glance at the scorecard for this match will do little to convey the intricacy of the contest over three days or the astonishing drama that unfolded on Friday evening when Glamorgan seemed to be progressing to what would have been a deserved victory in facile fashion, only to implode in spectacular style when within sight of 20 points.Needing to score 154 in a maximum of 47 overs on the third evening, Glamorgan cruised to 94 for 2 in 18.2 overs before losing the remainder of their wickets for 45 runs in 19.2 overs.Destroyer-in-chief was Glen Chapple, who once again proved that age is just a number when you have skill and core fitness in abundance. He had been roughly treated early in the innings yet he returned to take four wickets including top scorer Will Bragg for 61. Accurate and penetrative, Chapple is always at the batsmen, but so is Simon Kerrigan, the sorcerer’s apprentice. Bowling from the Penrhyn Avenue End, Kerrigan contained the batsmen and among his five wickets was the vital scalp of Murray Goodwin, caught by Simon Katich for 11 when attempting a cut.It was Kerrigan who had last man Michael Hogan spectacularly caught by a leaping Ashwell Prince on the long-off boundary as Hogan sought to score the 15 runs his team needed in something like three blows. That wicket sparked joyous scenes in front of the Colwyn Bay pavilion by Chapple and his players who were celebrating their first Championship win in 11 matches, a run stretching back to last June’s triumph on a gloomy Saturday evening at Chester-le-Street.But at first it had been the Glamorgan batsmen who were racing towards victory. Spectators settling down after tea expected the siege of Stalingrad; instead they got the Battle of M’boto Gorge from Blackadder Goes Forth. Wallace’s openers seemingly had little truck with arguments suggesting cautious accumulation was the best policy. Ben Wright and Will Bragg garnered 38 runs off the first 27 balls of the innings, a result of some over-pitched bowling, a few edges and a fast outfield, before Wright cut James Anderson low to Karl Brown in the gully. It seemed both teams had plans for Saturday. Now Lancashire’s players may be nursing the odd sore head while Glamorgan’s will be wondering where it all went wrong.”That win’s right up there with any we have achieved over the last two years,” Chapple said. “It’s a terrific victory and a great boost for the lads who have worked hard. It’s been a difficult week for us in some ways because we have not played our best cricket but we hung on and kept believing. We’ve come away with a victory we’ll remember for a long time.”But as Glamorgan discovered to their cost, getting into a winning position is one thing; sealing the victory – “bringing home the bread” as they call it in parts of Manchester – is very much another. At 12.22pm on the third day of this match Simon Katich essayed a drive at Glamorgan seamer John Glover but only succeeded in edging the ball to wicketkeeper Mark Wallace. His departure for a well-made, fighting 65 left Lancashire on 164 for 7 in their second innings and their lead was a piffling 45. It seemed Glamorgan were on their way to consecutive victories.Then again, this is cricket, a game which delights in taking the absurdly improbable and making it so. First Chapple and Gareth Cross added 42 for the eighth wicket, Chapple whacking Hogan into the back garden of a nearby house during his innings of 26. Then, when Chapple had holed out at mid-on off Mike Reed when the lead was 89, Kyle Hogg joined Cross, who was himself playing on the ground of the club he has represented in the Liverpool competition for some years. Together, these Lancastrians put on a further 63 runs with a mixture of shrewd aggression and unsparing vigilance.Rarely has Cross, a naturally aggressive batsman, played with more responsibility than he did during his 143-minute innings of 26; it took a fine two-handed diving catch by Dean Cosker to remove him. One run later Hogg gave Glover his third wicket when he stretched to drive and trudged off having made 47, yet another reminder of a frequently unfulfilled talent. All the same Lancashire’s lead was 153. It was, as they say, game on.The first session of the day had been as well contested and involving as its predecessors. Lancastrian hopes that Jimmy Anderson would frustrate the Glamorgan bowlers in the classic manner of the specialist nightwatchman were quickly demolished when the England batsman was beaten all ends up by Jim Allenby in the third over of the day when only a single run had been added to the overnight total.But likewise, Welsh fancies that the visitors’ batting would disintegrate like candyfloss in a high wind were similarly unfounded. Instead Katich and Steven Croft batted with busy, acquisitive competence to add 49 runs in fifteen overs before both batsmen perished caught behind attempting to drive in the space of three overs. Croft was the first to go, playing loosely at Reed, then Glover took the key wicket of Katich when he drove in a flurry of dust and footholds and Tim Robinson decided he had edged the ball. Not everyone was convinced but Katich trooped silently off. Never walk, never complain. He had made 65, an innings which had certainly kept his side in the game. As things turned out, it played a large part in winning it.

A quarta-feira teve movimentos importantes no vaivém. Ainda na busca por reforços, os clubes brasileiros intensificam a busca no mercado. O Santos está próximo do acerto com o lateral-esquerdo Jorge, que foi formado nas divisões de base do Flamengo e, no momento, veste as cores do Porto, de Portugal. O Corinthians assinou com o uruguaio Bruno Méndez por cinco temporadas. Aos 19 anos, o zagueiro foi comprado do Montevideo Wanderes, do Uruguai.

Na Europa, o nome que movimenta o noticiário é Marcelo. O lateral-esquerdo vem convivendo com críticas da torcida e de setores da imprensa espanhola por conta de seu rendimento em campo. A saída do Santiago Bernabéu vai ganhando força. Quem também viu seu nome envolvido nas negociações foi Rakitic, que desperta o interesse da Inter de Milão. O CSKA deve contratar a promessa Lucas Santos, que se destacou com a camisa do Vasco na Copinha. Veja, na sequência, o resumão do vaivém desta quarta-feira.

PERTO DO PEIXE?

O jornal português “Record” cravou a ida do lateral-esquerdo Jorge, ex-Flamengo e atualmente no Porto (POR), para o Santos. O jogador nunca teve grandes chances na equipe portuguesa e deve acertar com o Peixe por empréstimo até o final de dezembro deste ano.

Ainda segundo o “Record”, o Santos também teve a concorrência do Flamengo e o Rubro-Negro estava à frente pelo lateral, mas o time da Vila Belmiro conseguiu uma reviravolta e ficará com o reforço. Jorge foi um pedido do técnico Jorge Sampaoli após Orinho não ter agradado na lateral esquerda.

INTERESSE DA INTER

Esperando uma melhora em seu contrato salarial, o meia croata Ivan Rakitic ainda não renovou com seu atual clube Barcelona e está na mira da Inter de Milão. Os dirigentes italianos fazem uma oferta inicial de 35 milhões de euros (R$ 147,5 milhões) pelo jogador. O Barça, por sua vez, quer 45 milhões de euros (R$ 190 milhões), mas a tendência é que um acordo intermediário seja feito. A Internazionale oferece um contrato de três temporadas.

Atualmente, Rakitic recebe 5,5 milhões de euros (R$ 23 milhões) por temporada, mas o jogador quer uma melhora contratual, que ainda não foi oferecida pelo Barcelona. Seu contrato se encerra em junho de 2021 e o atleta já declarou o desejo de permanecer na Espanha.

MESMA ESTRATÉGIA

Marcelo vem convivendo com as críticas da torcida e de setores da imprensa espanhola por conta de seu rendimento em campo. Para o jornal “AS”, o jogador estaria usando a “fórmula” utilizada por Cristiano Ronaldo para deixar o clube.

O periódico revelou que o lateral entrou em contato com o diretor-geral do Real Madrid, José Ángel Sánchez, e informou sua insatisfação, solicitando ainda que ele não dificulte sua saída caso chegue uma proposta, como “prêmio por sua grande trajetória”.

IDA PARA A EUROPA

Mais uma promessa do Vasco está para deixar o clube precocemente. Dessa vez é Lucas Santos. O meia, que completará 20 anos em março e foi capitão da equipe vice-campeã da Copa São Paulo de Juniores deste ano, recebeu proposta e deverá defender o CSKA, da Rússia. A conversa está avançada e deverá ser concluída nesta quinta-feira, visto que a janela de transferências do país euro-asiático fecha na sexta-feira.

A negociação está avançada, e o Cruz-Maltino deverá manter um parcerias dos direitos econômicos. Com o dinheiro da venda de Lucas, os salários atrasados recentes do clube deverão ser quitados. O meia deixaria o clube depois de apenas quatro partidas como profissional, uma este ano. O Benfica, de Portugal, e o Shakhtar Donetsk, da Ucrânia, também desejaram o jogador.

URUGUAIO NO TIMÃO

O zagueiro uruguaio Bruno Méndez assinou nesta quarta-feira com o Corinthians por cinco temporadas, até o fim de 2023. Aos 19 anos, o beque foi comprado do Montevideo Wanderes (URU). Ele estava disputando o Sul-Americano Sub-20 com a seleção uruguaia e passou por exames médicos no Corinthians na terça-feira. Nesta quarta, foi ao CT Joaquim Grava e assinou o contrato.

Bruno Méndez será o 11º reforço do Corinthians para 2019. Antes dele, o Timão contratou o zagueiro Manoel, o lateral-direito Michel Macedo, os volantes Richard e Júnior Urso, os meias Ramiro e Sornoza e os atacantes Vagner Love, Boselli, Gustavo Silva e André Luis.

PERDEU A PACIÊNCIA

A paciência do Real Madrid com Gareth Bale parece ter chegado ao fim. Segundo o jornal “AS”, os Merengues colocarão o galês como disponível para transferências na próxima janela, no meio do ano. O jogador não assumiu o protagonismo com a saída de Cristiano Ronaldo e segue devendo no clube.

Bale convive com lesões e marcou apenas nove gols em 29 partidas pelo Real Madrid em 2018/19. Além disso, o clube não está satisfeito com a falta de liderança do jogador, que não fala espanhol mesmo em sua sexta temporada no país ibérico.

AGIU RÁPIDO

Após perder o técnico Milton Cruz, o Sport agiu rápido e trouxe o treinador Guto Ferreira, que no ano passado esteve a frente de Bahia e Chapecoense. O acordo é válido até o final deste temporada de 2019. Guto leva com ele o preparador físico Valdir Nogueira Junior (Juninho), e os auxiliares técnicos Alexandre Faganello e André Luís dos Santos Ferreira.

Essa será a terceira vez que Guto Ferreira estará à frente de uma equipe da região Nordeste em sua carreira. Além do Bahia em 2018, ele dirigiu entre 2010 e 2011 o ABC-RN.

NOME NO RADAR

O Arsenal procura um substituto para Petr Cech, que anunciou aposentadoria para o fim da temporada. O treinador Unai Emery que manter a competição aberta com Bernd Leno e cogita a contratação de Nick Pope, do Burnley.

Segundo o ‘Daily Mail’, o Arsenal monitora o jogador junto com Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham e Newcastle, que também acreditam no potencial do goleiro inglês, que foi convocado para a última Copa do Mundo pelo treinador Gareth Southgate.

نجح مجلس إدارة نادي الزمالك في الحصول على توقيع أحد لاعبي الفريق الأول لكرة السلة بالنادي الأهلي، أمس الخميس.

وعلم “بطولات” أن أحمد إسماعيل لاعب فريق السلة بالنادي الأهلي وقع للزمالك بعد انتهاء تعاقده مع الأحمر.

وحصلت إدارة الزمالك على توقيع أحمد إسماعيل لاعب الأهلي لمدة 3 مواسم، بداية من الموسم المقبل.

وكانت إدارة النشاط الرياضي بالنادي الأهلي قد وجهت الشكر إلى أحمد إسماعيل، بعد رفضه للعرض المالي المقدم من القلعة الحمراء لتجديد تعاقده.

تغنى مدرب النادي الأهلي الأسبق، ديفيد سيزا، بمواطنه، مارسيل كولر، المدير الفني الحالي للمارد الأحمر عقب الفوز ببطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

ونجح كولر في استعادة اللقب القاري للأهلي بعد فقدانه في الموسم الماضي مع بيتسو موسيماني، أمام نفس المنافس الوداد البيضاوي من ملعب “مُركب محمد الخامس” بالدار البيضاء.

وكان سيزا مدربًا مساعدًا للمدير الفني الأسبق للأهلي، رينيه فايلر، خلال الفترة من سبتمبر 2019 حتى سبتمبر 2020، لكن الأخير فضل الرحيل للعودة لأسرته في ظل أزمة انتشار فيروس كورونا.

قدم فايلر مع سيزا موسمًا جيدًا مع الأهلي وقبل رحيلهما تصدر الفريق جدول بطولة الدوري بفارق كبير بجانب الوصول إلى نصف نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا لمواجهة الوداد البيضاوي وقتها ثم أكمل موسيماني المهمة وفاز باللقب التاسع للعملاق القاهري.

وتواصل “btolat.com” مع سيزا للحديث عن مشوار كولر وإنجازاته مع الأهلي، وقال: “أعرف مارسيل معرفة شخصية منذ فترة طويلة خاصة وأننا لعبنا سويًا مع منتخب سويسرا في يورو 1996 في إنجلترا”.

وتابع: “يمتلك كولر خبرة تدريبية كبيرة مع بازل ومن قبله مع جراسهوبرز وسبق وفاز ببطولة الدوري السويسري وحقق نتائج جيدة مع منتخب النمسا ولديه تجربة جيدة في الدوري الألماني مع كولن وبوخوم”.

وأضاف: “لم أتفاجأ بما حققه كولر مع الأهلي، لقد حصد 4 بطولات حتى الآن ويقترب من استعادة الدوري المصري الغائب عن خزائن النادي منذ موسمين”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “أهم ما يميز كولر وجعله يتفوق مع الأهلي هو تعامله مع اللاعبين وأسلوبه التكتيكي في المباريات رغم صعوبة المنافسة في الدوري المصري في وجود فرق مثل الزمالك وبيراميدز”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “كذلك في دوري أبطال إفريقيا، نجد أندية مثل الوداد وصن داونز الذي اعتبره أحد أفضل الفرق في القارة بجانب الترجي، كل هذه الفرق قوية للغاية، لكن الأهلي يؤكد في كل موسم أنه الأفضل في إفريقيا بفارق كبير”.

واستمر: “ما يحققه الأهلي هذا الموسم ليس بجديد على هذا النادي، ولكن دائمًا ما يسعى نحو إسعاد جماهيره بالتفوق على منافسيه المباشرين، هذا ما يجيده الأهلي لقد تغلب على الزمالك وفاز بالسوبر المصري وعاد ليفوز على بيراميدز في نهائي كأس مصر وكأس السوبر المصري بالإضافة إلى استعادة لقب دوري أبطال إفريقيا من الوداد”.

وأكمل سيزا حواره: “كل هذه البطولات جاءت بسبب المجهود الرائع الذي بذله كولر وجهازه الفني الذي أعرف أفراده جيدًا، فلم يكن ليحقق النادي الأهلي كل هذه الإنجازات بدون العمل اليومي من الجميع سواء المدربين أو اللاعبين”.

وعن علاقته مع فايلر بعد الرحيل من الأهلي: “جيدة جدًا، نتحدث دائمًا عن فترتنا مع الأهلي ونتذكر هذه الفترة الجيدة من مشوارنا”.

وأضاف: “لقد رحل رينيه عن الأهلي في ظروف صعبة بسبب انتشار فيروس كورونا والعودة إلى عائلته مرة أخرى، لقد عمل لفترة مع كاشيما أنتلرز في الدوري الياباني ولكنه رحل، لم أكن معه هناك، كذلك وقع على عقد لمدة موسم مع نادي سيرفيت (الدوري السويسري)، لن أكون معه أيضًأ هناك لأن لدي عقد مع فريقي (إف سي رابرسويل-جونا في الدرجة الثالثة في سويسرا)”.

وعن إمكانية عودتهما للدوري المصري مجددًا: “لا أحد يعلم ماذا سيحدث في المستقبل، لكن لدى فايلر عقد في الوقت الحالي وكذلك أنا ورغم ذلك لا أحد يعرف ولكننا أحببنا عملنا في الدوري المصري الذي يخرج لاعبين جيدين لمنتخبهم الوطني القوي جدًا في الفترة الحالية”.

وأتم: “لكن لم يُعرض على أي فرصة للعودة مرة أخرى إلى الدوري المصري بعد الرحيل عن الأهلي مع فايلر”.

The ECB’s elbow surgeon has earned his fee after both Tim Bresnan and Graeme Swann returned to England’s Test squad for the opening match of the season against New Zealand at Lord’s

Andrew McGlashan11-May-2013The ECB’s elbow surgeon has earned his fee after both Tim Bresnan and Graeme Swann returned to England’s Test squad for the opening match of the season against New Zealand, at Lord’s, following their successful operations in the first part of the year.The pair both played their previous Tests in Nagpur during December. Bresnan then went for elbow surgery after the one-day series in India while Swann had his in March after being ruled out of the series in New Zealand.Bresnan is the fourth pace bowler in a 12-man squad alongside the incumbent trio of James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Steven Finn while Graham Onions, who is playing for England Lions this week and was on tour in New Zealand, misses out. Although unlikely that he will make the starting XI, Bresnan could yet force his way past Finn whose form for Middlesex has not been entirely convincing early in the season.As the impact of his elbow problem took full effect, Bresnan’s Test form tailed off badly last year and he has taken two wickets in his last four matches at 210 apiece. However, he has started the season promisingly for Yorkshire with 11 wickets at 27.63 and reports are that his pace is back to somewhere near 2011 levels.Geoff Miller, the national selectors, said: “Both Graeme Swann and Tim Bresnan have worked hard to regain fitness following elbow surgery and have demonstrated through their performances for their counties that they are ready for the challenge of international cricket.”Tim Bresnan’s early-season form has been enough to convince the selectors he is ready to return•Getty Images

The other players who were on the most recent tour but not required for the opening Test are Chris Woakes, James Tredwell and Monty Panesar, while Kevin Pietersen was ruled out of this series and the Champions Trophy earlier in the month.As expected, Jonny Bairstow retains his place as Pietersen’s replacement in the middle order, having been drafted in under tough circumstances in Auckland after just one first-class innings, against India in Mumbai, since last September. His twin failures were predictable, and understandable, but he has impressed at the start of this season for Yorkshire and has done enough to ward off his nearest challengers.Bairstow will also have fond memories of Lord’s, the scene of his Test debut against West Indies last year and also his most convincing Test performance, when he made 95 and 54 against South Africa after, again, being an understudy for Pietersen. His technique has, at times, been picked apart at Test level but that is a rite of passage for young player.England needed a monumental final-day rearguard to escape New Zealand with a 0-0 draw – Matt Prior, Ian Bell and Broad being to the fore – and that indifferent performance in a series they were expected to dominate ensured there would be no resting or rotating of key players for this series despite it being at the start of a hectic season.”We will need to improve significantly on our performances in the recent Test series against them if we are to start the international summer on a positive note,” Miller said. “This series provides a good opportunity for the players to show that they have learnt from the experiences over the winter.”England squad Alastair Cook (capt), Nick Compton, Jonathan Trott, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Matt Prior, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Steven Finn, James Anderson, Tim Bresnan

IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla has said the decisions of the three-man commission looking into corruption complaints in the IPL must be directly implemented, and not presented before the general body of the BCCI

ESPNcricinfo staff29-May-2013

N Srinivasan’s position as BCCI president, so solid all through the spot-fixing crisis and the arrest of his son-in-law on betting charges, appeared to wobble on Wednesday as the senior politicians on the board began speaking out on the issue. The most significant comment came from IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla after meeting with BCCI vice-president and disciplinary committee member Arun Jaitley: Srinivasan, they had decided, must “stay away” from the inquiry commission set up by the BCCI to look into the fixing and betting issues.Responding shortly after, Srinivasan said Shukla’s statement reiterated his own stand. “He has very clearly clarified that what he says is that the commission has been appointed and I should dissociate myself from the procedure as stated. He has reiterated what I stated in the press conference in Kolkata…that I have nothing to do with the committee.”Shukla did not clarify what he meant by “stay away,” but he did say they did not specifically mean that Srinivasan must stand down from his position. “He is an elected president and he says he has done nothing. That is his view,” Shukla said. “We would want that he stay away during the investigation procedure and have suggested to him that he do so. The image of the BCCI and of Indian cricket has been very badly affected by these events.”Shukla’s statement, which he repeated almost verbatim a couple of hours later, also said that the decisions of the three-man commission must be directly implemented, and not presented before the general body of the BCCI. It was important the investigation was “independent and that the persons responsible, no matter how they big they may be, are severely punished.”The inquiry commission had originally meant to comprise two BCCI officials and an independent member, but Shukla said it had been altered to assert its independence by including two judges and a single member from the board, in this case its secretary Sanjay Jagdale.The commission’s remit was widened to look into India Cements, the owners of Chennai Super Kings, apart from Gurunath Meiyappan, the Super Kings official arrested on charges of betting, and Jaipur IPL Pvt Ltd, the owners of Rajasthan Royals, three of whose players – Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan – were arrested on allegations of spot-fixing.The growing political pressure was also signalled by India’s sports ministry, which issued a statement calling for Srinivasan’s resignation. “The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has observed with considerable disquiet, the reports about match & spot fixing in cricket,” the statement read. “BCCI is inquiring into allegations of match and spot fixing. As there is a conflict of interest in this inquiry, therefore BCCI President should tender his resignation on moral grounds, pending the outcome of the inquiry.”Adding to the voices was former BCCI and ICC president Sharad Pawar, also a minister in the federal government, who backed another past president Shashank Manohar’s call for all IPL 2013 matches to be investigated by an external agency.”The entire issue should be referred to the home ministry and it should investigate all IPL matches,” Pawar said. “Shashank Manohar’s suggestion is correct. There should be a detailed investigation, not just one game, [but] all games should be looked at.”Pawar also said such a crisis “never happened” when he was in charge of the BCCI. He felt it was up to Srinivasan to decide whether he should resign, but when asked if he would have stepped down if he had been in Srinivasan’s position, he said, “If I had been there I would not have allowed these type of things.”Pawar was the board president, and Srinivasan the treasurer, when the BCCI had allowed India Cements, controlled by Srinivasan and his family, to bid for an IPL franchise in 2008. In the board’s opinion at that time, it did not amount to a conflict of interest but Pawar advised caution in the future.”In 2008, we had taken legal opinion and we got a considered view that there is no conflict,” Pawar said. “In that situation, when we discussed it in the office bearers’ meeting, it was cleared. But henceforth, we have to be very careful.”

وارتبط اسم أنشيلوتي بمنتخب البرازيل منذ رحيل المدرب، تيتي، عن منتخب البرازيل عقب انتهاء بطولة كأس العالم قطر 2022، لكن المدير الفني لنادي ريال مدريد كان واضحًا في تصريحاته بأنه يريد الاستمرار في “سانتياجو برنابيو” حتى نهاية عقده أو إقالته من النادي.

لكن تصريحات أنشيلوتي لم تغير أي شيء داخل الاتحاد البرازيلي الذي يريد التعاقد مع الإيطالي مع استمرار المدرب المؤقت، رامون مينيزيس، الذي قاد السامبا لفوز كبير على غينيا وديًا بنتيجة 4-1.

شبكة “جلوبو” البرازيلية، أكدت أن الاتحاد البرازيلي توصل لاتفاق مع كارلو أنشيلوتي بالفعل، على أن يتولى قيادة منتخب البرازيل بداية من يونيو 2024 بعد نهاية عقده مع ريال مدريد.

ويخطط الاتحاد البرازيلي للإعلان رسميًا عن التعاقد مع أنشيلوتي في يناير المقبل، عندما يكون الأمر قانونيًا مع بقاء 6 أشهر على نهاية عقد الايطالي.

وأشارت التقارير إلى أن أنشيلوتي سيختار شخصًا ما في أوروبا لمتابعة الأمور قي البرازيل حتى موعد وصوله إلى العاصمة ريو دي جانيرو.

Depois de ser tirado para dançar (e eliminado) pelo Fluminense na semifinal da Taça Guanabara, o Flamengo de Abel Braga voltou a ter uma atuação um pouco mais convincente. Que o torcedor, no entanto, não se deixe enganar com a vitória sobre o Americano. Na Copa Libertadores, o nível é outro.

O que dizer sobre o jogo deste domingo (e a rodada de uma forma geral) se até Pará (aquele que dá arrepios na torcida quando pega na bola) acertou cruzamentos? Aliás, acertou (sendo redundante mesmo) tanto que dois gols saíram dos seus pés. Milagre de Abelão depois do nó tático que levou de Fernando Diniz? Não, não acredito. Ué, até Gabigol desencantou e Vitinho marcou duas vezes! Não é milagre? Não, não mesmo!

É simples de explicar: o adversário, o nada poderoso Americano, embora tenha se esforçado, vem de uma fraquíssima campanha na Taça Guanabara. Em cinco jogos, assinalou apenas quatro gols, levou oito e só fez quatro pontos. Agora, com o 4 a 1 do Flamengo, o time de Campos dos Goytacazes (RJ), tem 12 tentos sofridos. Embora tenha sido um triunfo como a Nação Rubro-Negra gosta, não é para começar a sentir o tal “cheirinho”. Está muito longe disso.

Mesmo nível
Em se tratando do Campeonato Carioca, neste caso, a primeira rodada da Taça Rio, Flamengo, Fluminense, Vasco e Botafogo estão no mesmo patamar. Milagre, por exemplo, é o que Fernando Diniz e Alberto Valentim vêm conseguindo com elencos do Tricolor e do Cruz-Maltino, respectivamente.

Eles, sim, como Zé Ricardo (Botafogo), estão procurando jogar com tática, usando a cabeça. Pelo menos, isso é que o mostra este início de temporada. Até porque, sabem das limitações, diferentemente do Flamengo de Abel Braga, recheado de milhões e “craques”, mas que não definiu ainda um padrão tático, ao menos, satisfatório.

É preciso Abel Braga parar de falar sobre a “energia que o time conseguiu com a vitória deste domingo, que Gabigol se sentiu aliviado ao marcar”, e tratar da tática. Isso é o que chamamos de “iludir” a torcida. Se bem que tem mais um jogo pela Taça Rio, quinta-feira, contra a Portuguesa, antes de começar a “batalha” na Copa Libertadores, dia 5 de março, diante do San José, da Bolívia.

Vão chegar junto
Fluminense, Vasco e Botafogo irão brigar de igual para igual, mesmo com elencos mais limitados – o que já foi dito aqui inúmeras vezes e todos sabem disso. Um dos motivos é justamente porque o Flamengo irá concentrar a partir da semana que vem as suas atenções na Copa Libertadores.

Apesar do grupo de jogadores que têm em mãos, Abel Braga ainda não conseguiu definir os 11 titulares e muito menos dividir “Time A” e “Time B”, como fez Luiz Felipe Scolari com o Palmeiras no ano passado. Já está na hora de arrumar a casa e deixar as desculpas de lado. ​
