Carille fala em resultado 'grandioso' e projeta: 'Vamos longe, só não sei onde'

Com pouco tempo para treinamentos e lutando contra o relaxamento considerado natural três dias após a conquista do Campeonato Paulista, o técnico Fábio Carille deixou a partida contra a Universidad de Chile satisfeito com a vitória por 2 a 1 que classificou a equipe à segunda fase da Copa Sul-Americana na noite desta quarta-feira, em Santiago. Segundo o treinador alvinegro, a capacidade de assimilação de informações por parte dos jogadores a partir de vídeos e conversas merece elogios e foi responsável pela vaga.

-Tudo o que foi planejado aconteceu no jogo. Não tivemos tempo para treinar no campo depois da decisão de domingo. Foi à base de vídeos, conversas, e a compreensão dos atletas foi muito boa. Foi um dos melhores jogos. Desde o começo de trabalho deixei claro o interesse dos atletas em querer saber a ideia de jogo, o que precisam fazer. Fico muito feliz, jogadores cumprindo função com e sem bola. É um resultado grandioso – disse o treinador, que lembrou de uma pauta recorrente da época do sorteio dos confrontos da competição:

-Quando foram sorteados os adversários colocaram o Corinthians como quem pegava o mais forte. Conseguimos passar e estamos nos fortalecendo.

Com gols de Jadson e Rodriguinho nos dois confrontos, de ida e volta, e placar agregado de 4 a 1 para cima da equipe chilena, o Corinthians agora aguarda pelo dia 2 de junho, quando seu adversário na segunda fase da Sul-Americana será sorteado. É a última fase antes das oitavas de final do torneio continental, mas o foco do Corinthians agora é o Campeonato Brasileiro. A estreia já é sábado, e Carille prefere não fazer previsões sobre o estágio a se atingir.

-É um privilégio começar minha carreira num clube assim e com esse elenco. Continuamos nossa trajetória e não sei onde podemos chegar. A partir de agora começa a preparação para o jogo da Chapecoense, depois Vitória, e assim vamos caminhando. Nós vamos brigar jogo a jogo, cada jogo é uma história, não sei onde vamos chegar. Sei que vamos guerrear com bastante concentração. Vamos longe, só não sei onde – confia o treinador.

Predicted Rangers XI vs Dunfermline

Rangers begin their Scottish League Cup campaign with a game against Championship side Dunfermline Athletic at Ibrox tonight, with Steven Gerrard’s side looking to win the trophy for the first time since 2011.

The Gers come into the game on the back of three consecutive defeats, with the 2-1 defeat against ten-man Malmo earlier this week possibly leading fans to ask serious questions of their side after a hugely disappointing start to the 2021/22 campaign.

After an unbeaten league campaign last season which saw them earn their 55th Premiership title, Rangers fans will have been full of hope for the new term, but they have been brought back down to earth after defeats against Dundee United and two against Malmo.

However, Friday night represents an opportunity to get things back on track as they face Peter Grant’s side at Ibrox, and Gerrard has made it clear that he wants success in domestic cup competitions this season, which suggests that he will name a strong side despite the Championship opposition.

Here’s how Football FanCast expects Gerrard to line up his team at Ibrox, with eight changes from the team which started against Malmo earlier this week:

It seems likely that Gerrard will continue to alternate goalkeepers, so Jon McLaughlin comes back in for Allan McGregor in between the sticks.

There are three changes in defence, with only Connor Goldson keeping his place from Tuesday’s defeat, as Filip Helander replaces Leon Balogun, whilst Calvin Bassey and Nathan Patterson come in for Borna Barisic and James Tavernier respectively in the full-back positions after the latter duo’s less than impressive performances in the final third against Malmo.

In midfield, Glen Kamara is restored to the starting lineup after being suspended against Malmo, and he is partnered by Joe Aribo and John Lundstram, with Steven Davis and Scott Arfield dropping to the bench.

Ianis Hagi, who was described as “outstanding” by Gerrard in 2020, comes in for Scott Wright on the right wing, with Ryan Kent keeping his place on the left.

[freshpress-quiz id=“593776”]

They support Cedric Itten up front, with the Swiss striker earning a start with Alfredo Morelos rested. Fashion Sakala misses out through injury, with Kemar Roofe also rested after a difficult few days at home for the former Leeds United man.

وزير الرياضة: سنتواصل مع كاف لمعرفة تفاصيل أزمة ملعب نهائي إفريقيا

أكد أشرف صبحي وزير الشباب والرياضة أنه سيتم التواصل مع الاتحاد الإفريقي لكرة القدم في الفترة المقبلة، للاستفسار عن تفاصيل أزمة مباراة نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا، والتي أقيمت بين الأهلي والوداد المغربي.

وكان محمود الخطيب رئيس الأهلي قد طلب من أشرف صبحي وزير الشباب والرياضة الكشف عن نتيجة التحقيقات في أزمة نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا، وعدم تقدم اتحاد الكرة بطلب لاستضافة المباراة النهائية، وبناءً عليه أعلنت الوزارة تشكيل لجنة للكشف عن تفاصيل الأزمة طالع التفاصيل.

وقال أشرف صبحي في تصريحات صحفية اليوم الإثنين: “سنتواصل خلال الأيام المقبلة مع الاتحاد الإفريقي لكرة القدم للاستفسار عن كل التفاصيل ضمن خطوات التحقيقات في أزمة نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا”.

وأكمل: “تلقينا خطابًا جديدًا اليوم من الأهلي بشأن الأزمة، ولجنة التحقيق ستزور النادي للحصول على المزيد من المعلومات حول أزمة نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا”.

Palmer: Crystal Palace won’t budge on Wilfried Zaha valuation

Steve Parish and Crystal Palace will not budge on Wilfried Zaha’s valuation, former Premier League midfielder Carlton Palmer has told The Transfer Tavern.

Zaha had been strongly linked with both Tottenham and Everton at the end of last season but nothing is yet to materialise.

The latter’s interest dates back to 2019 where they had an offer rejected for the player, which was confirmed by the club (via Liverpool Echo).

Transfer insider Dean Jones, speaking on the Football Terrace, has claimed that Spurs are still looking at Zaha ahead of deadline day. Palmer, though, has warned them and other outfits not to expect a discount.

“Steve Parish is one of those guys. He won’t budge on this,” the ex-Leeds United player said. “If he’s said it’s 50 million, for example, it’s 50 million. So it’s for the clubs now to trigger that.”

While you would never rule anything out, it would be a surprise to see Tottenham splash out on Zaha in this moment of time.

Nuno Espirito Santo currently has the likes of Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn for those attacking positions, the trio all impressing in that recent 1-0 win against Manchester City.

They have also just brought in Bryan Gil from Sevilla so are hardly lacking in that area of the pitch right now.

Tite não curte zoeira sobre ser presidente do Brasil: 'Não brinquem'

MatériaMais Notícias

Em tempos de crise política instalada no mais alto escalão do Brasil, a zoeira nas redes sociais transformou o técnico Tite em “candidato” à presidência do país. Também pudera: o time voltou a jogar bem, não perdeu com ele ainda e está classificado à Copa do Mundo. Mas o treinador não curtiu a brincadeira da internet.

– É uma brincadeira com algo muito sério, que eu não tenho o mínimo de condição até de brincar com ela, porque é uma responsabilidade muito grande. Mas vejo com brincadeira. Peço que não brinque mais com esse negócio. Não falo por falsa modéstia. Isso não cabe, uma coisa tão séria e tão responsável – disse o treinador, com um semblante fechado.

Em outra ocasião na coletiva desta sexta-feira, Tite voltou a reforçar.

– Peço para que não brinquem mais com isso, me sinto desconfortável, porque é algo muito sério. Não cabe, é uma coisa tão séria – completou.

Indagado sobre o fim da corrupção, o treinador sacramentou:

– Eu luto, torço e gostaria em todos os níveis, em todos setores e de todas as formas.

Ipswich keen on Jaroslaw Jach loan

An update has emerged regarding Ipswich’s interest in Crystal Palace defender Jaroslaw Jach.

What’s the talk?

According to The Sun’s Alan Nixon, the Suffolk club want to sign the Eagles centre-back on loan before the end of the transfer window.

Nixon claims that the Tractor Boys and their League One rivals Wigan are both showing an interest in the Polish defender.

Disaster

Mark Ashton and Paul Cook must avoid a disaster with this deal. Jach has had a troubled career in England with Palace and the evidence suggests that he would be a poor signing for the Blues, which is why they must avoid him between now and the end of the month.

The defender has made just one senior appearance for Palace (in the Carabao Cup) in three years. He spent part of last season on loan to Fortuna Sittard and was limited to just three games in the Eredivisie. This unsuccessful loan spell suggests that he is not in the best of form at present and would arrive at Portman Road lacking in confidence, which is not ideal for a club hoping to push for promotion.

Why has it not worked out for him at Selhurst Park? Jach has previously given his own explanation for it, stating that he has not been able to adapt to the physicality of the English game. However, he does not regret making the move and is determined to make it work.

He told Sport.pl: “I do not feel regret, only aggression and stubbornness. I want to prove to everyone that I can play in the Premier League.

“Yes, (the Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson) was a supporter of the transfer (from Lubin). But when I came to England, I was not ready for such a jump. It was hard for me to compete with the boys who have been playing in the Premier League for years.

“Today I have to gain experience and … grow. I devote a lot of attention to working out at the gym, because – to put it bluntly – in England, the physicality can kill you.”

This is why Ipswich must avoid the £10k-per-week dud. He is coming off the back of a disappointing season and has already given the club a reason not to sign him with these comments, as they suggest that he would be bullied by opposition strikers.

Any team swinging crosses in and lumping long balls to their tall, bulky strikers will seemingly be able to dominate Jach. Therefore, Ashton and Cook must look elsewhere and prevent themselves from heading towards a disaster with the Polish defender.

AND in other news, “Very soon”: Paul Cook issues update on “strong” gem which will have Ipswich fans buzzing…

نادٍ إنجليزي يسعى لإنقاذ لينجليه من برشلونة

كشفت تقارير صحفية، عن رغبة نادي توتنهام الإنجليزي في ضم الدولي الفرنسي كليمونت لينجليه، خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الجارية من برشلونة الإسباني.

أصبح مكان لينجليت في برشلونة مهددًا بشكل متزايد مع وصول أندرياس كريستنسن الوشيك من تشيلسي، ومع رغبة النادي في الحصول على أموال، لضم جوليس كوندي أو خاليدو كوليبالي.

صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية، أكدت أن اللاعب الفرنسي لا يشكل جزءًا من خطط تشافي المدير الفني لـ برشلونة وأنه حر في المغادرة خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الجارية.

كما هو الحال مع العديد من اللاعبين الذين تعاقد معهم برشلونة في السنوات الأخيرة، يقال إن اللاعب يتقاضى أجورًا من شأنها أن تزيد من مشاكل النادي المالية.

الصحيفة الإسبانية، أشارت إلى أن اللاعب الفرنسي الدولي كان مترددًا في البداية في مغادرة النادي، لأسباب لم يتم توضيحها تمامًا، ولكن في الأيام الأخيرة قيل إنها تطورت إلى الفكرة في الرحيل لإيجاد مكان آخر.

خاض لينجليت 27 مباراة فقط في الموسم الماضي في جميع المسابقات، وارتبط بالانتقال إلى توتنهام في ظل صعوبة اقناع سبيرز لـ إنتر ميلان بالتخلي عن أليساندرو باستوني.

ويرى أنطونيو كونتي مدرب توتنهام أن لينجليه سيكون بديلًا أقل سعرًا من باستوني ويمتلك خبرات جيدة في البطولات الأوروبية.
