بيراميدز يحسم الجدل بشأن انتقال رمضان صبحي إلى الزمالك مقابل حسام عبد المجيد

كشف هاني سعيد المدير الرياضي لنادي بيراميدز، حقيقة ما يتردد عن انتقال رمضان صبحي إلى الزمالك مقابل التعاقد مع مدافع الأبيض حسام عبد المجيد.

وقال سعيد خلال تصريحات عبر برنامج “هاتريك” المذاع على قناة “أون سبورت”: “ما يتردد بشأن رمضان صبحي وانتقاله للزمالك مقابل حسام عبد المجيد، غير صحيح تمامًا، لا توجد أي مفاوضات تمت بهذا الشكل”.

وأضاف: “كرة القدم كلها متغيرات، ومن الممكن أن أقول لك شيئًا مستحيلًا اليوم، وبعدها يحدث، هذا ليس بخصوص رمضان فقط، لكن بشكل عام، الكرة ليس بها ثوابت، وكل شيء وارد، أما بخصوص هذ الصفقة تحديدًا، فلا، الموضوع غير موجود أصلًا، ولا أي حديث أو مفاوضات تمت بشأنها”.

وعن إعلان فيستون ماييلي إسلامه، أوضح: “هذا كان بسبب زملائه في الفريق، خصوصًا كريم حافظ كان يتحدث معه بالفرنسية، وبدأ يتقرب منه ويتحدث معه عن الدين، فيستون رأى أمامه قدوة جيدة، وبدأ يسمع ويتعلم، والحمد لله الأمور ذهبت في الاتجاه الصحيح، هو عمومًا شخص محترم جدًا، وتعاملاته احترافية لأقصى درجة، ومن الشخصيات الجميلة داخل الفريق”.

وبسؤاله ما سبب تكرار إصابات رمضان صبحي، قال: “هذا له تأثير كبير على رمضان في الفترة الأخيرة، لكن الموضوع ليس له تفسير واضح، لأنه يتعرض للإصابات أثناء التدريبات، وليس في المباريات”.

وأكمل: “تحدثنا معه، أبلغناه أنه إذا كان نظام حياتك يحتاج لتغيير، لا بد أن تعيد النظر فيه، هو لاعب محترف، ومن المفترض أن يكون لديه وعي كافي للمحافظة على نفسه، لكن في النهاية، من الممكن أن تكون المسألة نصيب وقدر، وربنا يشفيه، وإن شاء الله يعود قريبًا في حالة بدنية جيدة”.

وعن ماذا يقول يورتشيتش عن رمضان صبحي، كشف المدير الرياضي لنادي بيراميدز: “يورتشيتش دايمًا كان يرى إن رمضان من العناصر المهمة جدًا في الفريق، ويعتبره من الأعمدة الرئيسية، وكان دايمًا يخطط على أساس وجوده، لأنه يعلم تأثيره الكبير داخل الملعب، لكن بعد إصاباته المتكررة بدأ يعتمد على عناصر غيره أكثر جاهزية”.

Vidal deixa o Flamengo: relembre momentos da passagem do volante pelo Rubro-Negro

MatériaMais Notícias

A caminho do Athletico-PR, a saída do volante Arturo Vidal do Flamengo já era esperada. Ainda no começo de junho, o jogador anunciou que deixaria o clube carioca em dezembro deste ano, quando seu contrato chegaria ao fim. Os altos salários, aliados ao baixo rendimento dentro de campo, já faziam com que os dirigentes não buscassem uma possível renovação do chileno.

Agora, o volante tem tudo certo para seguir sua carreira no Athletico-PR. O jogador busca uma rescisão amigável com o Flamengo e deve defender o Furacão até dezembro deste ano, mesmo período em que defenderia o Flamengo. Dessa forma, o Lance! separou alguns momentos marcantes, positivos ou não, da passagem do jogador pelo Flamengo.

TÍTULOS E LIDERANÇA

Depois de um flerte antigo, o Flamengo finalmente contratou Vidal junto a Inter de Milão, em julho do ano passado. O volante chileno chegou com status de craque após passagens por Bayern de Munique, Juventus e Barcelona, mas a diretoria rubro-negra estava ciente de que ele já não estava no seu melhor nível. Mesmo assim, no início da passagem, o chileno entregou bastante.

Ao longo dos primeiros seis meses, Vidal participou de 26 partidas, sendo 12 como titular e balançou as redes em duas oportunidades, contra Juventude e Botafogo. O chileno foi liderança importante no time que jogava as partidas do Campeonato Brasileiro e foi reserva utilizado nas duas decisões disputadas pela equipe, na Copa do Brasil e Libertadores.

POLÊMICAS

Até a virada do ano, a relação entre Flamengo e Vidal era excelente. O volante era querido nos bastidores e exercia uma liderança importante no elenco. Contudo, 2023 trouxe uma face do volante que desagradou a diretoria e torcida rubro-negra, desgastando de vez a parceria. É possível dividir os problemas em dois atos, ambos às vésperas do Mundial de Clubes.

Primeiro, Vidal se ofereceu para o Colo-Colo em live no Instagram e causou desconforto no grupo antes da ida para o Marrocos: “Venham me buscar”, disse na época o jogador. O volante chegou a se retratar com a torcida, mas o estrago já estava feito. Ainda no mesmo dia, o chileno jogou chuteiras de maneira agressiva após saber que não seria titular em jogo contra o Boavista, pelo Carioca. Pelo episódio, ele foi multado.

Não foram muitas oportunidades entre os titulares com Vítor Pereira, mas a chegada de Sampaoli trouxe esperança para Vidal. O jogador já havia trabalhado com o argentino na seleção chilena, e a dupla se sagrou campeã da Copa América em duas oportunidades. Quando recebeu chances, no entanto, ele não correspondeu e, no momento, está atrás de Pulgar e Victor Hugo na rotação.

Como mencionado, o contrato de Vidal com o Flamengo teria duração até dezembro e o jogador já poderia assinar um pré-contrato com qualquer equipe. Ao todo, Vidal disputou disputou 51 jogos pelo Rubro-Negro desde sua chegada, em meados do ano passado, marcou dois gols e concedeu três assistências.

Scholfield, Capsey centuries make it England A's day

Dominant fourth-wicket partnership gives visitors chance to turn the screw at halfway mark of contest

ESPNcricinfo staff13-Apr-2025

Paige Scholfield and Alice Capsey made a pair of centuries for England A•Getty Images

England A 317 for 4 (Scholfield 138*, Capsey 108) trail Australia A 343 (Trenaman 77, Ginger 54, Knott 52, Faltum 52, Wong 5-63) by 26 runsPaige Scholfield and Alice Capsey seized the initiative in the unofficial women’s Test in Sydney with a fourth-wicket stand of 210, as England A’s batters built on a bowling effort led by Issy Wong’s five-for to move towards a first-innings lead on the second day at Cricket Central.Both batters made centuries in the course of a dominant day’s work, and by the close, Scholfield was still going strong on 138 not out, with England A well set on 317 for 4, trailing by 26 runs with two days of the contest remaining.After extending their overnight 315 for 7 to a first-innings total of 343, Australia A seemed to have taken charge when England slumped to 34 for 3 in reply. Lauren Cheatle had a role in each of the three wickets, first by catching Mady Villiers at fine leg in Tess Flintoff’s first over of the innings, and then in bowling Hollie Armitage and Grace Scrivens in consecutive overs.But Capsey and Scholfield turned the momentum of the innings in a boundary-studded 52-over alliance that spanned the afternoon session. Capsey swept and pulled Sophie Day for four fours in an over as England pushed on at a brisk tempo, and they weren’t parted until Maitlan Brown trapped Capsey lbw for 108, with the deficit already reduced to double figures.Scholfield, however, found another solid ally in Jodi Grewcock, with whom she saw out the rest of the day in an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 73. Grewcock reached the close on 29 not out from 84 balls, with three fours.Earlier, England had needed 10 overs to pick off the remaining three wickets of Australia’s first innings, for the addition of 28 runs. Grace Potts grabbed two of these, including the final wicket of Sianna Ginger for 54, but the key moment came when Wong fired a yorker through Lilly Mills’ defences to pick up a well-deserved fifth wicket.

ليفربول إيكو: سلوت يواجه معضلة كبرى بسبب محمد صلاح قبل لقاء برينتفورد

يستعد فريق ليفربول للسفر لمواجهة برينتفورد لخوض مباراته السابعة خارج ملعبه هذا الموسم في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ويملك بطل الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز فرصة لتقليل الفارق مع المتصدر آرسنال إلى نقطة واحدة في حال تحقيق الفوز قبل أن يلتقي الجانرز مع كريستال بالاس يوم الأحد.

وقام ليفربول بخمسة تغييرات في محاولة لاستعادة قوته بعد تعرضه لسلسلة من أربع هزائم متتالية، فقد رد الريدز بأداء يمكن القول إنه الأفضل له هذا الموسم بفوزهم على آينتراخت فرانكفورت بخماسية لهدف واحد في ألمانيا.

ونشرت “ليفربول إيكو” البريطانية أن ليفربول سيدخل اختبارًا آخر للقياس عليه إذا كان الفريق قد تجاوز أزمته أم لا في ملعب جي تيك كوميونيتي مساء السبت.

ويحتاج سلوت لوضع إجابة للسؤال الأول، حيث يحتاج لحل أزمة مركز الظهير الأيمن، بعد إصابة جيريمي فريمبونج في أوتار الركبة ومن المؤكد عودة كونور برادلي لهذا المركز، أما على الجبهة الأخر فسيكون السؤال إذا كان سيستمر آندي روبرتسون أم سيعتمد على ميلوس كيركيز؟.

وقد يعتمد سلوت على روبرتسون لخبرته على اللاعب الذي مازال يواجه بداية صعبة في ملعب آنفيلد، ومن المرجح أن يلعب جونز في خط وسط ليفربول حيث لا يزال جرافنبيرخ يعاني من مشكلة في الكاحل.

كما سيجيب سلوت على سؤال إذا كان سيعود ماك أليستر للمشاركة بعد إراحته ضد فرانكفورت بعد تألق دومينيك سوبوسلاي الذي سجل هدف وسيكون من الصعب استبداله.

ويثير فلوريان فيرتز لاعب ليفربول التساؤلات ايضاً بعد أن قدم أفضل أداء له مع الريدز بعد أن صنع هدف كودي جاكبو في الشوط الثاني، ولكن هناك معضلة واحدة تتعلق بأسلوب برينتفورد البدني وإذا كان سلوت سيفضل البدء بالألماني من مقاعد البدلاء وبسبب تضييق المساحات لذا قد يكون هناك تعديل في هذا المركز.

وسيتعين على سلوت البدء بمهاجمه هوجو إيكتيكي الذي سجل هدفه السادس هذا الموسم بطريقة رائعة ضد فرانكفورت، وسيكون أسهل قرارات المدرب نظراً لغياب إيزاك لفترة بسبب إصابة في الفخد.

ومن المتوقع أن يحافظ كودي جاكبو على مركزه الأساسي بعد أن سجل ثلاث أهداف في ثلاث مباريات، ولكن ماذا سيفعل سلوت مع محمد صلاح الذي دخل بديلاً في الشوط الثاني ضد فرانكفورت والذي كان يصمم على عدة محاولات تهديفية للتسجيل وعلى الرغم من أنه لا يمر بفترة جيدة حالياً وسجل هدفين هذا الموسم إحداهما فقط من اللعب المفتوح، وهل سيقوم سلوت بمنح كييزا فرصة اللعب بدلاً منه؟ وقد تكون هناك فرصة أخرى لفيرتز للعب بشكل مختلف داخل الملعب.

ولم يبدأ كييزا أساسياً في أي مباراة في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز حتى الآن لكنه بدأ متأهباً ونشيطاً عند حاجة فريقه له، وسيكون قرار سلوت بإبعاد صلاح قراراً صعباً للغاية وتبقى القرارات بيده.

Eskinazi, Geddes bat Middlesex into commanding position

Kent were all out for 218, handing the visitors a four-run first-innings lead

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay12-Apr-2025

Stevie Eskinazi anchored Middlesex’s second innings•Getty Images

Middlesex have batted themselves into a commanding position at the end of day two of their Rothesay County Championship match with Kent at Canterbury, reaching 222 for 6 at stumps, a lead of 226.Stephen Eskinazi gave them a platform with 57 before Ben Geddes cashed in after being dropped twice to make 73 not out.Earlier Kent were all out for 218, handing the visitors a four-run first-innings lead. Grant Stewart made 56 and Harry Finch 52 but their 101-run partnership was broken in the second over of the morning session. Blake Cullen had Middlesex’s best figures with 4 for 60, while Ryan Higgins took 3 for 37.Kent were still 50 in arrears at the start of Day 2 but after passing 50 in the first over, Stewart swished Ryan Higgins to Zafar at midwicket. Finch punched Roland-Jones through the covers to bring up his 50 but Higgins pinned him lbw in the next over.Jas Singh and Kashif Ali almost got Kent to parity, until an eventful 83rd over. Kashif was on 16 when he hooked Cullen, but Brookes reacted a split second too slowly and the chance went down. However, he was run out off the very next delivery, when Singh drove Cullen through the covers and Zafar Gohar’s throw allowed Cullen to break the stumps with Kashif a centimetre from making his ground. Cullen then bowled Singh middle stump to give Middlesex a slender advantage.Nathan Fernandes’ run of single-figure scores this continued when Nathan Gilchrist had him lbw for one in the fourth over.Max Holden, lucky to get off the mark with a tailender’s swipe at Stewart, nicked Gilchrist to Daniel Bell-Drummond at third slip for five in the next over, but Eskinazi and Leus du Plooy steered them to 33 for 2 at lunch and looked well set for an hour after the resumption until the latter edged Stewart to Jack Leaning for 26, breaking a 56-run partnership.Joey Evison struck with his second ball, bowling Higgins off stump for 15 and Ben Geddes nearly went in the same over but Tawanda Muyeye couldn’t cling on at first slip.Eskinazi clipped Evison for a single to reach 50 but was lbw to Singh in the 42nd over and there was further encouragement for Kent members, during an otherwise interminable afternoon session, when Michael Cohen came on as a sub fielder after missing the entire 2024 season with a back injury.Middlesex, however, were 147 for 5 when tea was finally taken at 4.23 pm and the game began to drift away from the hosts, with Gilchrist unable to take a return catch off Geddes, who subsequently straight-drove Evison for four to reach his 50.Jack Davies joined him in making batting look easy on a track that had looked treacherous on day one until Leaning got him for 27, caught by Bell-Drummond at first. Cullen then came in for three deliveries before the players came off for bad light.

Leeds must rue ditching their own Paixao & Raphinha hybrid in £10m "weapon"

Leeds United may be without two of their wide options when they face off against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League this weekend.

Head coach Daniel Farke has revealed that both Wilfried Gnonto and Daniel James may not be available to take part in the trip to the Molineux Stadium.

This means that Brenden Aaronson seems likely to keep his place on the right flank, unless the German boss decides to go with Jack Harrison ahead of the USA international.

The American flop, who is an attacking midfielder by trade, has scored one goal in 40 appearances in his Premier League career, per Sofascore, whilst the English winger has scored one goal and failed to provide any assists in 37 outings in the division since the start of last season.

These statistics do not make for great reading and do not suggest that Aaronson or Harrison are likely to come up with a moment of magic to win the game for Leeds against Wolves this weekend.

The Whites have failed to score a goal from open play in the Premier League this season, partly because of their lack of quality out wide, and they may still rue the fact that they were unable to land Igor Paixao.

Why Leeds failed to sign Igor Paixao

Leeds put a £30.5m offer down on the table for the Brazilian forward during the summer transfer window, only for the attacker to turn down a move to Elland Road to sign for Marseille.

Feyenoord, per the Yorkshire Evening Post, were willing to accept the club’s offer for Paixao, which meant that they left it up to the player to decide where he wanted to go next in his career.

Unfortunately, for Leeds and Farke, the left-sided attacker opted to sign for Marseille because they are a stable top-flight side and had Champions League football to offer him, which the Whites were unable to compete with in the end.

Missing out on Paixao was a frustrating blow for the Championship champions because he had the potential to be an exciting addition to the squad after an impressive campaign in the Netherlands.

The 25-year-old star, who is in the prime years of his career, racked up 18 goals and 14 assists in 47 appearances in all competitions for Feyenoord last term, per Sofascore, which convinced Leeds to put a bid of more than £30m in for his services.

As you can see in the table above, Paixao was one of the most productive forwards in the Dutch top-flight with his contributions as both a scorer and a creator of goals.

Given the options currently at Farke’s disposal for this weekend’s clash and how the games have gone so far this season, missing out on Paixao was a big blow for the Whites.

First Impressions

What did pundits and fans alike think about their new star signing when they arrived? Football FanCast’s ‘First Impressions’ series has everything you need.

However, Leeds were brewing their own version of Paixao, and potentially their next Raphinha, at Elland Road in Largie Ramazani before Farke ditched him in the summer window.

Why Ramazani could have been Leeds United's own Paixao

The Belgian winger could have been a hybrid of both Paixao and Raphinha in West Yorkshire if the club had kept him and continued his development in England, instead of allowing him to join Valencia on loan.

Supporters will, of course, remember how exciting Raphinha was to watch when Leeds were last in the Premier League, after his move from Rennes in 2020.

Well, Ramazani played in LaLiga at the same time as the Brazil international in the 2023/24 campaign and they were listed as similar players, statistically, by FBref. The then-Almeria star averaged 0.33 xAG per 90 compared to the Brazilian’s 0.38 xAG per 90, as they both ranked within the top 4% of attacking midfielders and wingers in LaLiga for creating high-quality chances.

After his promising form in LaLiga for Almeria, Ramazani completed a £10m move to Elland Road in the summer of 2024 to sign for Leeds in the Championship.

The left-sided attacker, who was described as a counter-attacking “weapon” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, only started seven matches in the second tier during the 2024/25 campaign, but delivered six goals and two assists in his limited minutes on the pitch for the Whites.

Stats via FotMob

As you can see in the table above, Ramazani ranked incredibly highly among his positional peers for goals and assists when filtered into per-90 metrics, which illustrates how efficient he was in the minutes that Farke handed him.

Fuelled by those performances in the Championship, FBref list Paixao as one of the most similar players to the Belgian forward over the past 365 days based on their statistics per 90.

The chart above shows that the £10m Leeds forward even outperformed the Brazilian in a host of statistics, but it is worth adding that he only started seven games whilst Paixao was a regular starter for Feyenoord.

What these statistics do show, though, is that Leeds had an exciting left winger who has been comparable to both Raphinha and Paixao on their hands, yet they allowed him to leave on loan.

It is a decision that seems more bizarre with each passing game that the Whites do not score an open play goal in, particularly when you consider that Ramazani already has an open play assist in two appearances for Valencia in LaLiga.

It's not Darlow: Leeds star is in danger of becoming their new Meslier

This Leeds United star is in danger of becoming the next Illan Meslier at Elland Road.

ByDan Emery Sep 16, 2025

The Whites, therefore, must regret ditching him in the summer window, even if it was only on loan, because he has the quality to provide an attacking spark in the final third, like Raphinha and Paixao, and that is something that they desperately need right now.

Arshdeep and Suryakumar gain on IPL 2025 Purple and Orange Cap tables after MI vs PBKS

Virat Kohli and Josh Hazlewood have a chance to move up on their respective leaderboards tonight after the LSG vs RCB game

‘SKY adjusted quickly and knew which shots he could play’

Orange Cap tableSuryakumar Yadav was in action, and true to his reputation and form, scored 57 in 39 balls to be MI’s top scorer on the night, but fell ten runs short of breaking up the Gujarat Titans (GT) monopoly at the top of the run-getters’ table. He ended the night on 640 runs, just nine behind second-placed Shubman Gill, with B Sai Sudharsan looking like he might become the first batter this season to top 700 runs when GT play next.Virat Kohli, following Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) washout against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the 43 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) remains at No. 6, but has a chance tonight against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to at least get past Yashasvi Jaiswal of Rajasthan Royals (RR), who is done for the season and is currently at No. 5, just 11 runs ahead of Kohli.Also in action in that match will be LSG’s Mitchell Marsh, who is 80 runs behind Suryakumar and in with a chance of signing off from IPL 2025 with another big one.For PBKS, it has been more of a team effort when it comes to the batting, and that’s reflected on the leaderboard: Shreyas Iyer is their top scorer so far with 514 runs, which puts him at No. 9, with Prabhsimran Singh at No. 11 with 499 runs, and Priyansh Arya at No. 15 with 424 runs.Purple Cap tableArshdeep Singh played a big part in PBKS’ win over MI with 2 for 28, lifting him to 18 wickets and the fifth place on the Purple Cap table.Trent Boult could have challenged Noor Ahmad of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the table-topper with 24 wickets, and GT’s Prasidh Krishna, No. 2 with 23, but went wicketless for MI against PBKS to stay in third place with 19 wickets.RCB’s Josh Hazlewood, if he plays on Tuesday night, could even go past Boult – he is just one wicket behind with 18.Here’s what ESPNcricinfo’s MVP table looks like.And here are some other IPL 2025 tables that show the season’s best performers in different aspects of the T20 game.

Chelsea lost a homegrown Estevao for £0, now he's "one of the world's best"

They say a week is a long time in politics, but it’s even longer in football, and Chelsea are a great example.

Just seven days ago, it would be fair to say that there were some questions over Enzo Maresca’s squad, as, although they had just beaten Benfica 1-0, the victory was hardly convincing.

Moreover, the Blues had lost 3-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion and 2-1 to Manchester United in their previous two Premier League games.

However, any genuine concerns over the direction of the club were quickly dispelled with a sensational 2-1 win over Liverpool thanks to a late Estevao goal.

It was the ideal way for the Brazilian to introduce himself to the wider league, although while he does seem destined for greatness, Chelsea once had a homegrown superstar in the making, whom they let go for nothing.

Why Estevao could be an international superstar for Chelsea

Despite still being just 18 years old, the expectations surrounding Estevao are sky-high, to the point where respected analyst Ben Mattinson has claimed that he is a “future Ballon d’Or winner.”

That might sound like an absurd thing to say about someone so young, but the incredibly exciting wonderkid already has an impressive amount of first-team football under his belt.

For example, before making his way to Stamford Bridge this summer, the Franca-born gem racked up a brilliant tally of 27 goals and 15 assists in 83 appearances for Palmeiras.

Additionally, he has already won seven senior caps for the Brazilian national team, scoring his first goal in a 3-0 win over Chile in September.

Back in England, the left-footed prospect has continued to make progress. While he scored his first competitive goal for the Blues and grabbed the headlines in the process against Liverpool, he has also made quite an impression in his other games.

For example, on his first start, against West Ham United, it was his unreal close control and technique that allowed him to get past the Hammers’ backline and provide an assist for Joao Pedro.

In all, Estevao looks like he will be a world-class star for Chelsea, but so long as he stays out on the right, he’ll be in, compared to another former Blues gem, someone the club lost for free.

Chelsea's former Estevao

As with every other big club in the game, Chelsea have lost several outrageously talented youngsters over the years, from Jamal Musiala to Declan Rice and potentially even Rio Ngumoha.

Where Are They Now

Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast’s Where Are They Now series.

However, in this instance, the player in question is someone who could be rivalling Estevao for the title of best winger in the world a few years from now: Michael Olise.

The incredible Bayern Munich joined the West Londoners’ academy set-up in 2009 but ended up leaving in 2016, which, according to former Blues youth coach Sean Conlon, was a “mutual decision.”

The dynamic attacker would then travel to Manchester City before joining Reading’s academy, where he’d go on to make his senior debut and, after an impressive 20/21, in which he produced 19 goal involvements in 46 games, catch the eye of Crystal Palace, who paid £8m to sign him.

Over the next three years, the tremendously exciting Frenchman would make 90 appearances for the South Londoners, scoring 16 goals and providing 25 assists, and was lauded as “one of the best talents in the world” by former manager Oliver Glasner.

The former Cobham gem made his big-money move to Bayern last summer, and since moving to Germany, he has been on another level entirely.

For example, in his first campaign with FC Hollywood, the 23-year-old phenom scored 20 goals and provided 23 assists in just 53 appearances.

So far this season, instead of taking a slight step backwards following an outrageous first campaign in Germany, he appears to have become even more effective.

In just ten appearances across all competitions, the ten-capped superstar has scored five goals and provided six assists.

Ultimately, Chelsea have a future world-beater in Estevao, but they’d be an even better team had they kept hold of Olise all those years ago.

Dorival faz discurso forte contra cera no futebol sul-americano e sugere aplicação de regra do basquete

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo venceu a LDU (EQU) por 1 a 0 no Morumbi, pelo jogo de volta das quartas de final da Copa Sul-Americana, mas acabou sendo eliminado nos pênaltis por 5 a 4. Desde o primeiro minuto de partida, os equatorianos fizeram a famosa ‘cera’, desperdiçando tempo para esfriar o jogo. Tal situação incomodou o técnico Dorival Júnior, que deu sua opinião sobre esse comportamento em entrevista coletiva. O treinador afirmou que este é um comportamento especialmente do sul-americano e sugeriu que o tempo fosse cronometrado, como acontece no basquete.

– Eu gostaria que minha opinião não fosse levada em consideração pelo jogo de hoje. No meu modesto entendimento, o futebol tinha que ter o que tem no basquete: x tempo de bola rolando. Deveria ser cronometrado o tempo. Evitaríamos toda e qualquer situação que existe. Primeiro: excessiva perda de tempo com jogadores simulando. Isso não especificamente sobre a partida de hoje. É um absurdo o que acontece num campeonato como é o Brasileirão. Nós deveríamos dar um exemplo claro e real pedindo mudanças em tudo isso pois é uma questão de comportamento – disse Dorival.

O treinador acredita que esse tipo de comportamento apenas estraga o espetáculo e mancha a imagem do futebol. Ainda, Dorival apresentou uma solução: ele entende que uma ação local, vinda por parte da CBF por exemplo, é necessária para que haja uma mudança nesse cenário “inadmissível”. Na mesma coletiva, Dorival destacou o papel negativo da arbitragem, que “contribui para que isso aconteça”.

– Quem são os culpados? Ninguém. Nós temos que estabelecer que pararíamos com isso a partir de hoje porque é inadmissível a gente ter um espetáculo e boa parte dele ser consumido com momentos desnecessários em que os jogadores param e a arbitragem contemporiza e todos nós participamos disso, denegrindo a imagem do futebol. Isso já não acontece na Europa há muito tempo. É uma situação que deixa o futebol sul-americano muito feio, sem dúvidas.

– Nós precisaríamos de uma ação muito rápida e poderíamos começar com uma ação local, nossas – dentro das Federações e da CBF.
