Coração, desejo e sina: Verdão vence Choque-Rei com gol de cobertura

MatériaMais Notícias

Foi com coração, desejo e a sina de derrotar o São Paulo com gol de cobertura, como cantaria Djavan, que o Palmeiras fez 3 a 0 no Choque-Rei deste sábado, pela oitava rodada do Paulistão. Pura rotina no Allianz Parque, onde só dá Verdão: quatro jogos contra o rival, quatro vitórias.

Depois de Robinho, que encobriu Rogério Ceni no Paulistão e no Brasileirão de 2015, no Allianz e no Morumbi, foi Dudu quem assinou a pintura em cima de Denis. O Mito dessa vez assistiu a tudo da beira do campo. Seu time, que não perdia havia nove jogos, não foi nem sombra do que vinha sendo. Tchê Tchê e Guerra fizeram os outros gols.

O duelo foi muito estudado e teve poucas oportunidades claras até a obra de arte do capitão palmeirense, aos 45 minutos do primeiro tempo. O São Paulo de Ceni era páreo duro até ali, mas sofria para encontrar espaços, até por estar sem Cueva. A marcação agressiva do Verdão obrigava o Tricolor a esticar a bola direto para o ataque se não quisesse ser surpreendido.

O golaço não teria saído se Douglas tivesse optado por um lançamento em vez de tocar curto para Buffarini, que foi desarmado com facilidade por Egídio. Dudu ficou com a sobra e a sua imensa qualidade tratou de fazer o resto.

O São Paulo voltou zonzo para o segundo tempo e passou a ser amassado pelo Palmeiras. Tchê Tchê, voltando de lesão, soltou a perna esquerda da entrada da área e ampliou a contagem logo aos 10 minutos. Os mais desatentos talvez nem tenham percebido que Wellington Nem havia entrado no lugar de Jucilei. Lucas Fernandes veio depois, na vaga de João Schmidt, mas já não havia como reagir.

Quando Borja substituiu Willian aos 21 e refez a afinada dupla com Guerra, letal no Atlético Nacional, o terceiro gol virou questão de tempo. O centroavante chutou para fora o presente que recebeu do meia três minutos depois de entrar, mas logo retribuiu e fez a jogada que terminou com Guerra colocando a bola na rede, aos 25. Depois disso, o que se viu foi um São Paulo entregue e um Palmeiras dando olé.

Apesar da derrota, o São Paulo segue liderando o Grupo B do Paulistão com 14 pontos. O próximo desafio é na quarta-feira, contra o ABC-RN, pela Copa do Brasil. O Verdão chegou aos 18 pontos, também na liderança de seu grupo, o C, e agora joga contra o Jorge Wilstermann, pela Libertadores, em casa.

Spurs favourites to sign Tomiyasu

According to Italian newspaper Corriere di Bologna, via Sport Witness, Tottenham Hotspur are the favourites to sign Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu ahead of Atalanta – with a fresh eight-figure bid expected this week.

The Lowdown: Tottenham enter Tomiyasu race…

As Spurs properly commence the hunt for new backline additions, coming after they finally ended their frantic search for a new manager, Tomiyasu has been touted as their potential first signing of the summer.

Indeed, Tottenham had an opening offer of €18m (£15.4m) rejected recently with Bologna holding out for a larger fee if they’re to part ways.

Spurs have been tipped to get this over the line, though, with some sources even suggesting that personal terms have already been agreed (Calciomercato.it).

The Latest: Spurs favourites, new bid expected…

As per regional news outlet Corriere di Bologna, Tottenham are the favourites to sign Tomiyasu ahead of both Atalanta and north London rivals Arsenal.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/spurs-latest-updates-4/” title=”Spurs latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

It is even said that a new bid is expected some time this week, amounting to around €20 million (£17.1m) plus some bonuses, with chairman Daniel Levy aiming to provide strength in depth for new Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

However, Corriere di Bologna also claim that Serie A competitors Atalanta haven’t given up on signing Tomiyasu just yet, so Spurs could need to act quickly and secure his services.

The Verdict: Fruitful first signing?

Lauded as a ‘giant’ by the Italian media last season, perhaps summing up his contribution for Bologna, Tomiyasu was a mainstay under manager Siniša Mihajlović.

Starting 31 Serie A matches over the course of 2020/2021, the Japan international made 3.3 clearances per match on average in that time – no one in Bologna’s squad managed more (WhoScored).

His versatility could also prove invaluable, with the 22-year-old capable of playing both as a right-back and natural centre-half.

We believe he could come as a possible bargain for Spurs thanks to his age and versatility, especially if Bologna accept the revised £17.1m bid this week.

World records tumble in a remarkable game at The Oval

Before today, only four sides in the world had ever scored over 400 runs in an innings in a limited overs match. Today at The Oval, both Surrey and Glamorgan achieved this feat in a quite remarkable one day game in the C& G Trophy that saw a host of world records tumble in the London sunshine.The record breaking day began with Surrey racing to 438-5 in their 50 overs, with Ali Brown making 268. Both were world records – for the highest ever innings total, and the highest ever individual innings, with Brown striking 30 fours and 12 sixes in his awesome knock, which broke South African Graeme Pollock`s previous world best of 222* for Eastern Province. Brown also added 286 for the first wicket with Ian Ward – again the highest partnership for any wicket in one day cricket against Glamorgan.Glamorgan then replied with 429 – their best ever in a one day game – as they fell just 10 runs short of their target in the final over. Acting captain Robert Croft led the way with a blistering 119, reaching his hundred off just 56 balls – the fastest ever in a one day game for the Welsh county. David Hemp also made 102, whilst Darren Thomas hit a quickfire 71 off just 41 balls.But despite their sterling efforts, Surrey were the victors by 9 runs in a game that saw the sides register the highest two totals ever made in a limited overs game in the world . In all, 867 runs were scored on the day, breaking the world record in a one-day game, set in India in 2000/01 when the match between India and India B produced 754 runs.As far as the UK is concerned the previous British best was also achieved at The Oval,as in 1994 the match between Surrey and Worcestershire saw 707 runs being amassed.

Otago made it eight losses in a row in the Championship

The issue for Otago in their State Championship match with Canterbury at Molyneux Park in Alexandra was obvious from the outset.Otago were 75/5 and desperately needing a substantial partnershp to give their attack something to bowl at in the fourth and final innings of the game.Jordan Sheed did score a valuable and neat 53 but with only 114 to chase for victory, Canterbury did it with ease, losing only one wicket and therefore winning outright by nine wickets.Otago have almost without exception fared worse in their second innings of matches this season than the first, and today was no exception as Canterbury dismissed them for a paltry 131. Only Sheed and Craig Pryor (24) producing anything of any substance.The Canterbury attack never really looked venomous but Wade Cornelius in getting six for 30 from 16 overs bowled line and length and deserved his figures. He had match figures of 10 for 66.Chris Harris took three for 29 from 19 overs while Ryan Burson took one for 41 from 12 overs.Canterbury with only 114 to get for victory made no race of it and got there with nine wickets in hand, Robbie Frew scoring a patient but assertive 73 not out. Otago’s only wicket taker was Pryor with one for 11.Canterbury deserved to win the match against an Otago side which has batted abysmally for most of the season and because of this has recorded its eighth successive loss in State Championship matches.If anything the Otago bowling looked slightly better than Canterbury’s – Kerry Walmsley bowled with little good fortune while David Sewell collected a bag of seven wickets in the first innings.

Bowler helps Somerset bat out for a draw

Peter Bowler’s sound defence frustrated Kent’s victory hopes on the finalday at Taunton as the match with Somerset ended in a tame draw.The 37-year-old veteran hit a typically solid 87 off 188 balls, sharing acrucial fourth-wicket stand of 135 with Mark Lathwell, which occupied 51overs.They came together in the first over of the day when Jamie Cox wasbrilliantly caught behind by the diving Paul Nixon off Matthew Fleming,having added only four to his overnight 59.Somerset were 114-3 and still 45 runs behind. But Lathwell, still looking tore-establish his reputation since a year off with injury in 1999, showedglimpses of the form that brought two Test appearances back in 1993.Applying himself with great determination, he matched Bowler’s solid defencewhile occasionally giving a reminder of his stroke-playing ability in making58 before falling lbw to Fleming.Kent’s skipper struck again in the same over, clean bowling Rob Turner for aduck, on the way to figures of 4-74.But the pitch offered little in the way of assistance to any type of bowlingand Peter Trego, promoted in the order following his 32 in the firstinnings, again showed his talent with the bat.After Bowler had finally departed to Nixon’s seventh catch of the match, theEngland Under-19 bowler went on the attack to hit eight fours in his 43.Somerset were 334-7 when Cox declared to end the match at 5.20pm. The homeside took seven points and Kent ten.

Hendrie concerned by Mings’ Villa form

Speaking exclusively to The Transfer Tavern, former Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie believes Tyrone Mings has not been at his best this season.

While Villa’s record when it comes to goals conceded in the Premier League has been decent, they rank high in the errors leading to goal category.

Mings has contributed to one of those errors leading to goal, while some of his performances in general have come under scrutiny from supporters.

And it appears such has not gone unnoticed by Hendrie, who simply feels that the 28-year-old’s level has dipped this campaign.

On £24.3m-rated Mings, the ex-Villa player told TT  in an exclusive interview:

“Mings hasn’t been at his best this season – there’s no doubt about it. [Ezri] Konsa’s been the best centre-half out of the two.”

Indeed, while Mings has perhaps had some struggles this season, Konsa has absolutely thrived, with manager Dean Smith describing him as “Mr Consistent” earlier in the campaign.

With all of that being said, it would probably be unwise to write off Mings based on some shaky performances in one campaign.

He has been a regular at the club since initially joining on loan from Bournemouth back in 2019, helping his side to win promotion to the Premier League and retain their top-flight status.

Zaga do Fla cresce na temporada e alcança grande marca no Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

O ano de 2016 foi uma gangorra para a zaga do Flamengo. Setor muito criticado no primeiro semestre por conta das recorrentes falhas, cresceu na temporada com a chegada de reforços e terminou o Brasileirão com a melhor marca do clube na competição nacional desde 2006.

O caminho até esse feito foi árduo. Mesmo com o reforço do experiente Juan, a defesa rubro-negra teve muitos problemas e deixou a desejar nas primeiras competições do ano. Muito contestados pelos erros, Wallace e César Martins acabaram deixando o clube. Com isso, o jovem Léo Duarte subiu para os profissionais e teve chance entre os titulares. Para piorar a situação, Juan sofreu com lesões.

Com a situação delicada da zaga, o Rubro-Negro foi ao mercado e trouxe Réver, encostado no Internacional, e Rafael Vaz, reserva no Vasco. Logo depois, contratou o argentino Donatti, destaque do Rosario Central (ARG).

No entanto, Réver e Vaz formaram a dupla que gerou química e resolveu o problema defensivo do Fla. Com eles em campo, o time levou apenas 24 gols em 26 jogos (média de 0,92 por jogo), o que ajudou o Flamengo a terminar com a segunda melhor defesa do Brasileirão ao lado do Santos, ambos com 35 gols sofridos. Ficou atrás só de Palmeiras e Atlético-PR (32 cada). Esse foi
o melhor desempenho defensivo do Fla desde 2006, quando o campeonato passou a ter 20 clubes.

Antes deste ano, a melhor marca do Flamengo tinha sido em 2009, quando ganhou o hexa, e 2010, quando levou 44 gols A pior foi em 2015, quando a defesa foi vazada 53 vezes no Brasileirão daquele ano.

Confira o desempenho da defesa do Fla nos últimos Brasileiros (média de gols por jogo):

2016 – 0,92
2015 – 1,39
2014 – 1,23
2013 – 1,21
2012 – 1,21
2011 – 1,23

Everton fans fume at fixture scheduling

Many Everton fans have been left to fume as Patrick Boyland relayed a fixture update for May from the Goodison Park faithful.

As per a tweet from The Athletic journalist, the Merseyside club will play Aston Villa at home on Saturday 1st May at 8pm and West Ham United away on Sunday 9th at 4:30pm, with a home match against Sheffield United just two days later.

It puts a big strain on travel for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, and this is not to mention that their game in hand away at Villa has still not been rescheduled, meaning that the Toffees are going to be suffering a mass fixture pile-up at the end of the 2020/21 term as they look to chase qualification for European competition for next season.

This could have a huge impact on a squad who are already struggling with injuries, so it’s no surprise to see fans flocking to respond on Twitter.

Everton fans on fixture scheduling

These Blues fumed upon reading the update, with one EFC supporter even going as far as to claim that it was ‘ridiculous’:
