On a day of middling performances from both sides, offspinner Shane Shillingford’s spell of 4 for 22 made the difference as West Indies A outlasted South Africa A by 11 runs at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur.West Indies had to fight hard to earn the victory, after South Africa restricted their progress after losing the toss. Justin Guillen fell to Lonwabo Tsotsobe for a duck in the first over and the innings never really recovered from the early loss. Devon Smith and Travis Dowlin avoided the big shots and focused on laying a platform, scoring 39 each at a sedate pace. However, things went downhill once Dowlin departed with the score 90, as they lost five wickets for 20 runs in a slump that lasted eight overs.Kirk Edwards and Chadwick Walton helped them recover from the morass with a stand of 65 for the seventh wicket. Edwards made 49 off 83 balls, while Walton was the more aggressive, hitting two sixes in his 35-ball 31. Shillingford and Lionel Baker made handy contributions lower down to lift the score past 200. The wickets were shared around equally, as each of the five bowlers picked two apiece. Tsotsobe was the weakest link in an otherwise disciplined show, conceding 65 in 9.3 overs.Morne van Wyk got the chase up and running with a workman-like 51, and he was aided by his top-order colleagues – Jonathan Vandiar and Colin Ingram – as South Africa reached 60 for 1 in the 12th over before Shillingford began to wield his influence. He got Ingram to edge behind, and then dismissed Rilee Rossouw cheaply to bring West Indies back into the game.Ryan Bailey steadied the ship along with van Wyk with a stand of 72, but West Indies kept them under pressure through the middle overs, as the stand consumed 23.3 overs. Nelon Pascal nailed Bailey for 35, and the batsmen who followed found the going tough as the asking rate crept up. David Miller injected some momentum with a 23-ball 26, but when Shillingford removed him in the 44th over, South Africa had lost one wicket too many. Pascal and Shillingford kept attacking, as wickets tumbled at regular intervals, leaving South Africa 11 short when they were bowled out with 13 balls to spare.

Everton likely to sign 2-3 on deadline day

Everton are likely to sign a couple of players on transfer deadline day as the club moves closer to appointing Frank Lampard in the manager’s dugout at Goodison Park.

What’s the word?

This has been a chaotic transfer window for the Toffees and on deadline day this Monday, it’s set to get even crazier.

As well as being on the verge of appointing Lampard, they are set to welcome Donny van de Beek to the club on loan from Manchester United.

But, the new boss won’t stop there in his pursuit of new signings according to reporter Alan Myers.

The journalist was asked on Twitter on Sunday whether the Dutchman would be the club’s final addition but he responded; “I doubt it.”

Myers then added in another tweet: “I’d guess 2 to 3 [signings] maybe.”

Fans buzzing

After all of the protest and rage that has engulfed Goodison this month, it looks as though Everton are set to end the month on a high.

The appointment of Lampard is ambitious and will take the club in a new direction after the previously appointed Carlo Ancelotti and Rafa Benitez; two individuals with far more coaching experience under their belts.

However, what Lampard has in common with those two, is a lure, particularly for young English players or footballers looking to get their careers back on track.

Van de Beek perfectly fits that description and with Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli also on the club’s radar, this could be a captivating finish to the window.

Myers doesn’t mention who may follow the Man United midfielder through the door but the fact that Lampard is wasting no time in looking to strengthen his squad should be music to the ears of supporters.

After all, this is a team that sit in 16th place in the Premier League after just one win in their last 14 top-flight encounters.

Saudade da filha e Copa: empresário de Pratto fala sobre suposta saída

MatériaMais Notícias

Cotado como possível reforço do River Plate, o atacante Lucas Pratto ainda não foi procurado pelo clube de Buenos Aires. O jogador, que declarou que ficaria seduzido caso recebesse uma proposta dos Milionários, não gostaria de tomar uma decisão que prejudicasse o São Paulo, embora veja a possibilidade de retornar para seu país-natal como uma chance de jogar a Copa do Mundo do ano que vem. Em contato com a reportagem, Gustavo Goñi – empresário do jogador – explicou a situação.

– Tudo isto que se falou é apenas especulação. O River Plate não me procurou, não procurou o Lucas e também não procurou o São Paulo para fazer uma proposta. Não existe nada de concreto, cravou o agente.

De acordo com o agente, o jogador está mais do que satisfeito em defender as cores do Tricolor. Entretanto, alguns fatores poderiam fazer que ele abrisse negociações para jogar no River Plate. A saudade da filha, de apenas sete anos, e a vitrine para o técnico Jorge Sampaoli podem pesar caso os portenhos apareçam com US$ 10 milhões (R$ 33 milhões) ao São Paulo.

Contratado pelo Tricolor em fevereiro deste ano, Lucas Pratto entrou em campo em 48 oportunidades e anotou 14 gols. Os números, que estão longes de serem ruins, não são a principal razão para que o clube do Morumbi tente barrar uma suposta saída. Além da sua importância técnica, o jogador é um líder dentro do elenco e um dos atletas mais comprometidos com o clube.

O São Paulo, que pagou R$21 milhões ao Atlético-MG para ficar com 50% dos direitos do atacante, não está disposto a abrir conversar para negociar um de seus principais jogadores. O River Plate, no entanto, acredita ser possível tirar o atleta do Morumbi e deve usar sua vaga na Copa Libertadores do ano que vem como argumento para convencer o argentino a forçar uma saída.

É grande a vontade do Lucas Pratto voltar a jogar na Argentina?
Ele sente falta da filha e não quer ficar tão longe dela. Esse é um fator muito importante para que essa possibilidade passe pela cabeça dele. Como ele não é mais casado com a mãe da garotinha, a situação se torna ainda mais complexa.

A possibilidade de jogar a Copa do Mundo na Rússia também é um dos fatores que podem influenciá-lo?
Com certeza. O Lucas, assim como qualquer outro jogador, tem o sonho de defender seu país em uma Copa. O River, assim como o São Paulo, são excelentes vitrines.

Na Argentina, especula-se que o River Plate faria uma proposta de US$ 10 milhões. Esse valor seria suficiente para tirar Pratto do São Paulo?
É muito dinheiro, mas eu não tenho como te responder essa pergunta. Se tiver essa proposta na mesa, a gente precisa ouvir o São Paulo e ver o quanto o clube estaria disposto a negociá-lo.

O Pratto conversou com você sobre a possibilidade de jogar no River Plate ou de retornar para o futebol argentino em outra equipe?
Não, não conversamos. O Lucas está feliz no São Paulo e nunca falamos sobre River Plate ou qualquer outra equipe do futebol argentino. O foco dele é ajudar o São Paulo.

Ajeti, Barkas, Bolingoli set to exit Celtic

Celtic trio Albian Ajeti, Vasilis Barkas and Boli Bolingoli all look set to leave the club this month, according to The Daily Record’s Gabriel McKay.

The Lowdown: Exits needed

The Hoops have been extremely busy when it comes to incomings this month, with Michael Nicholson finalising five signings for Ange Postecoglou’s squad in January. Midfielder Matt O’Riley was the latest to move to Parkhead, penning a deal until 2026 from MK Dons.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-copy/” title=”Celtic updates!! (Copy)” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

It seems as if Celtic’s focus now is on moving players out of Glasgow in the final days of the window, with three Neil Lennon acquisitions in line to leave the club.

The Latest: McKay’s claim

McKay shared a transfer news recap on The Daily Record on Saturday evening.

Within his report, he said that Ajeti, Barkas and Bolingoli all ‘look set to go in the opposite direction and follow Leigh Griffiths out of Celtic Park’.

The Verdict: Flops

Celtic paid £4.5m for both Ajeti and Barkas and £3m for Bolingoli. That has proven to be £12m not well spent, with the trio hardly featuring under Postecoglou this season.

Hopefully the Hoops can recoup the majority of the £12m they spent on those three players, but that could be a big ask for CEO Nicholson with only a few days remaining in the transfer window.

If you use Transfermarkt’s valuations, for example, the Hoops could land just £4.95m, as Ajeti’s value has dropped from £4.05m to £2.25m as a Celtic player, Barkas’ going from £4.5m to £1.35m and Bolingoli’s falling from £2.7m to £1.35m.

Wolves linked with Salcedo transfer

Despite boasting an impressive defensive record in the Premier League this season with just 14 goals conceded in 19 games, it seems as though Wolves are looking to the January transfer window as an opportunity to strengthen their squad at the back as they aim to secure a European place by the end of the current campaign under the guidance of Bruno Lage.

In a recent report from W Deportes, Wolves are apparently interested in signing Tigres defender Carlos Salcedo this month.

The 28-year-old joined the Mexican club from Eintracht Frankfurt back in the 2019 January transfer window after previous spells at clubs such as Deportivo Guadalajara, Fiorentina and Real Salt Lake City, winning some trophies in the process.

Since his move to Tigres, the defender has made a total of 101 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals along the way, showing how much of a danger he can be in front of goal as well.

Last season, Salcedo, who was dubbed as a potentially “massive” acquisition for a possible suitor this month by Rudi Schuller, ended Tigres’ league campaign as their joint-sixth highest rated player with an overall performance rating of 7.01/10 from SofaScore.

That would have made him Wolves’ fourth-highest rated player in the Premier League last season, showing how capable he could be in Lage’s side if he were to make a move to Molineux this month.

Salcedo’s latest performance for Tigres in their 1-1 draw against Santos Laguna saw him not only score his side’s goal but also make three clearances, four interceptions and one tackle, ultimately earning himself an outstanding overall match rating of 7.8/10, making him the highest-rated player on the day according to SofaScore.

With Lage reiterating the need for Wolves to sign a centre-back as soon as possible with Romain Saiss away on international duty and Willy Boly injured, Jeff Shi could solve Lage’s big issue with a move for Salcedo, who is currently valued at £4.5m according to Transfermarkt, in the coming days and weeks.

Moving forward, with Salcedo’s contract at Tigres set to expire at the end of December, this could cause the Mexican club to be more willing to sell their defender to Wolves this month rather than risk him leaving on a free transfer at the end of the year if he doesn’t put pen to paper on a new deal before then.

Presidente de torcida do Flamengo e funcionários do Flu são presos no Rio

MatériaMais Notícias

A Polícia Civil realizou na manhã desta segunda-feira mais uma etapa da Operação Limpidus, responsável por investigar o repasse de ingressos de jogos de futebol às torcidas organizadas. Quatro pessoas foram presas, entre elas o assessor da presidência do Fluminense,Artur Mahmoud, Felipe Dias, diretor de arenas do Fluminense, e o presidente da maior torcida organizada do Flamengo,Alesson Galvão de Souza.

Além deles, foram presos duas pessoas ligadas a empresaImply, que é responsável pela venda de ingressos ao Flamengo. São elas:Monique Patricio dos Santos Gomes e Leandro Schilling, responsável pelo atendimento da empresa ao Rubro-negro.

A empresa soltou um comunicado sobre o caso: “A Imply afirma que todos os ingressos dos jogos do Clube de Regatas do Flamengo são entregues direta e exclusivamente ao clube e registrados em protocolo.A empresa não compactua e não tolera qualquer ato que comprometa os valores éticos estritamente seguidos desde a sua fundação, há 15 anos.”

A polícia também realizou buscas por um homem que seria o chefe da segurança do Vasco, mas não o encontrou em casa e nem no trabalho. Ele já é considerado foragido.

Em entrevista ao G1, a delegada daDelegacia de Repressão aos Crimes de Informática (DRCI) da Polícia Civil,Daniela Terra, ressaltou que, cedendo ingressos a torcidas organizadas impedidas de entrar no estádio, os clubes alimentam a violência.

-Essa é a grande questão: um clube fomenta a violência na medida em que fornece ingresso descumprindo decisão judicial entregando para torcidas organizadas afastadas por motivos de violência – disse a delegada.

Esta foi a segunda etapa da Operação Limpidus. Ao todo, já são quatorze mandados de prisão. Na semana passada, já haviam sido presos três pessoas ligadas a uma organizada do Fluminense e dirigentes dos quatro grandes clubes do Rio conduzidos para prestar esclarecimentos.

Corinthians dá orientações, mas não teme exageros do elenco nas férias

MatériaMais Notícias

A comissão técnica do Corinthiansfez algumas recomendações aos jogadores antes de liberá-los para as férias, como exercícios físicos que podem ser realizados e ter uma alimentação adequada. Apesar das orientações, o clube não teme exageros do elenco na pausa entre 2017 e 2018. Os próprios atletas, inclusive, prometem se esforçar para chegarem bem na reapresentação, dia 3 de janeiro.

Na avaliação interna, o elenco do Corinthians não conta com muitos jogadores “baladeiros”. Cinco atletas, por exemplo, tiveram filhos neste ano (Cássio, Pedro Henrique, Vilson, Paulo Roberto e Jô – o segundo filho do atacante nascerá neste mês).

Outro motivo que deixa a comissão técnica mais tranquila é em relação aos jogadores que sonham em disputar a Copa do Mundo. Cássio, Fagner e Rodriguinho sabem que precisam iniciar bem 2018. Do trio, apenas o goleiro foi convocado para as últimas partidas da Seleção Brasileira.

– De 2014 para 15, eu sofri muito na pré-temporada, e desde então estou me cuidando e sofrendo menos. Percebi isso. Então, esse ano vou fazer a mesma coisa. Lógico que você diminui a quantidade de treinos, mas não custa nada cuidar um pouquinho, a alimentação. A gente sabe que o ano que vem será bem espremido, então temos de estar bem, serão muitos jogos. Não terá treino, vai de cada atleta. Prefiro não fazer nenhum jogo, mas no meu tempinho livre, já aproveitando que minha mulher gosta de academia, vamos juntos – afirmou Fagner.

Outros jogadores que prometeram trabalhar nas férias foram Cássio e Danilo. Na visão do meia, por conta da grave lesão que teve ainda em 2016 e a consequentemente falta de jogos desde então, ele precisa se cuidar para voltar no mesmo ritmo que os companheiros.

Com esse cenário, há a confiança de que grande parte do elenco apresentará boas condições físicas na reapresentação em janeiro. O ano de 2018 já começou faz tempo para o Timão.
