“Chegou minha hora!”.

Foi assim que o meia Lucas Fernandes, 19 anos, definiu seu momento na equipe do São Paulo. Destaque nos treinos, o jovem é cotado para assumir o lugar de Cueva, que está com a seleção peruana e não vive boa fase no clube. O camisa 10 pode voltar no banco contra a Ponte Preta no próximo sábado no Morumbi. É a vez de Lucas? Ele acha que sim, independentemente no lugar de quem.

-Infelizmente as lesões me deixaram para trás. Não quero me comparar com meus amigos que foram embora. Cada um tem seu tempo. Desde as lesões busco a melhor forma física. Eu me sinto bem melhor preparado pra me firmar no time. Chegou a minha hora. Estou pronto para ser titular – afirmou o camisa 11 nesta terça, em coletiva no CT.

Lucas Fernandes vem treinando no lugar de Cueva e tem feito boa parceria com Hernanes nas atividades. Suas chances de jogar como titular cresceram ainda mais porque Marcos Guilherme, outra peça do ataque, deixou o treino da última segunda com dores no quadril e virou preocupação para o time.

Também na segunda, Lucas foi elogiado por Petros. O volante disse que a personalidade do meia impressiona. E o garoto comentou a declaração.

-Tem de se impor, se quer ganhar algo não pode se omitir. É importante para todos, não só para mim, ter bastante personalidade para sair dessa situação – avaliou Lucas.

Um dos destaques do time sub-20 que ganhou tudo entre 2015 e 2016, Lucas Fernandes foi promovido no ano passado pelo técnico argentino Edgardo Bauza. Sofreu com diversas lesões, entre musculares e no joelho e ombro, que renderam cirurgias, mas agora tem agradado ao técnico Dorival Júnior. O comandante segue com a montagem do time nesta terça, em treino no CT da Barra Funda.

A round-up of the matches on day two of the Emerging Players Tournament

Cricinfo staff21-Jul-2009
ScorecardThe 50-over format proved far more conducive to the Australian Institute of Sports’ liking than the Twenty20 yesterday as they drubbed New Zealand Emerging Players in Brisbane. The home side bounced back from a shoddy defeat to India at the same venue yesterday by defeating a New Zealand side that included internationals Peter Fulton and Tim Southee.New Zealand’s decision to field first came a cropper. Southee struck to have Australia 2 for 56 but the opener Rob Quiney (58) and Steven Smith ticked along. Quiney’s dismissal at 88 gave New Zealand little respite because Smith was joined by Matthew Wade and a 92-run alliance followed. Wade, the wicketkeeper, made a brisk 61 from 58 deliveries and Smith hit his maiden limited-overs century, finishing unbeaten on 125 from 114 balls. Southee bore the brunt of Smith’s late onslaught, finishing with 2 for 74. Neil Wagner and Tarun Nethula took one wicket each.A target of 301 was way out of New Zealand’s reach. Shaun Tait nabbed Fulton for 12 before Tasmanian allrounder James Faulkner ran through the middle order with splendid figures of 3 for 4 in five overs. Central Districts allrounder George Worker top-scored with 32 until he was last out, caught behind off Kane Richardson, as New Zealand were bowled out for 110 in the 31st over.
ScorecardSouth Africa Emerging Players downed India, after being kept to 214, to claim a ten-run win in their 50-overs match at the Fred Kratzman Oval in Brisbane.South Africa got off to a poor start after being put into bat, stumbling to 5 for 32 with Sudeep Tyagi, the right-arm seamer, accounting for all five wickets in a stunning opening spell. A recovery of sorts was launched by Farhaan Behardien (33 from 69 balls) and the wicketkeeper Heino Kuhn (46 from 58), who put on 75 for the sixth wicket. Then Daryn Smit and CJD de Villiers (39 not out) further lifted South Africa. Smit, after making 45 from 74 balls, became Tyagi’s sixth wicket. India did well to keep South Africa to 214 but conceded 19 extras, including 12 wides, which proved decisive to the eventual result.de Villiers dismissed the opener M Vijay for 0 and India suffered a double jolt with the score on 37, as Juan Theron got Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli was run out first ball. S Badrinath (32) and Abhishek Nayar (33) added 78 for the fourth wicket but South Africa hit back through Thandi Tshabalala’s two wickets, the second of which cut off Wriddhiman Saha who threatened to pull off victory with 47 from 78 balls. Theron too returned at the death to take two wickets and finish with 3 for 49.

Everton were denied a penalty in the second half of their goalless Premier League draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. 

Referee Chris Kavanagh pointed to the spot after a challenge from Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris on Blues forward Richarlison, but he then reversed his decision after being advised to consult the pitchside monitor (Sky Sports).

Everton were able to halt their run of three consecutive defeats with the point, but they remain without a win since 25 September, when they beat bottom club Norwich City at Goodison Park.

According to data gathered by ESPN, Everton have on balance been negatively affected by VAR so far this season, with four such calls going against them compared to three in their favour.

Could Everton have scored if Kavanagh had held off?

On Sunday evening, fan feed Toffee TV posted a screenshot taken shortly after Lloris’ tackle.

It shows Richarlison getting back to his feet and retrieving the ball just outside the left edge of the penalty area, with the Spurs goalkeeper racing back towards his line, and the image was captioned “Surely the ref could have played the advantage rule?”

Here’s what these Everton fans had to say in response, with many left unimpressed by the officials over the incident.

A round-up of the latest matches in the County Championship as Robert Key hits a double hundred and Surrey’s Stewart Walters makes the first ton of his career

Cricinfo staff17-Jul-2009

Division TwoRobert Key’s return to form continued apace as he reached his first Championship double hundred to put Kent in control against Glamorgan at Cardiff with a lead of 127. After the second day was reduced to 20 overs by rain, Key ensured Kent made rapid progress with an imposing, unbeaten 202. Although his first for Kent, Key has a previous double ton for England, against West Indies, in 2004 and this is sort of form that will keep him the selectors’ thoughts. He and Geraint Jones added 115 before Jones was caught behind driving then combined in dominant style with Martin van Jaarsveld as the pair put on 180. Key benefited from two dropped catches in the slips – one by Herschelle Gibbs and the other by Michael Powell – as he reached his double from 293 balls. van Jaarsveld fell four short of his hundred but Justin Kemp moved to 53 in an unbroken stand of 102 and Kent will look to add quick runs on the final day then have a crack at Glamorgan.Less than 27 overs of play were possible because of rain on the third day between Surrey and Essex at Guildford and, during that time, Surrey added 69 runs to their overnight score of 219 for 3. Stewart Walters, acting as captain for the first time, reached his maiden first-class century and remained unbeaten on 111. He was lucky , though, for he had been dropped by Matthew Walker on 90. Usman Afzaal also got to his hundred but he fell on 116, driving a low catch to Varun Chopra at cover, after adding 222 for the fourth wicket. He didn’t walk off the field alone for the rain came down and the other players left with him. Surrey, on 288 for 4, still trail by 113 runs in the first-innings and the game is heading towards a draw.Division OneRain meant just 9.1 overs were possible at Arundel. with Hampshire progressing to 224 for 2 against Sussex with Michael Lumb moving to 45 John Crawley unbeaten on 20Click here for John Ward’s report from the third day between Nottinghamshire and Durham at Trent BridgeClick here for George Dobell’s report from the third day between Warwickshire and Lancashire at Edgbaston

تعود من جديد موسيقى دوري أبطال أوروبا لتُعزف مع بداية موسم 2022/2023 بالبطولة الأقوى على مستوى الأندية في العالم.

دوري أبطال أوروبا ينطلق 6 سبتمبر المقبل بدور المجموعات، وينتهي ذلك الدور في 2 نوفمبر، وذلك لإقامة بطولة كأس العالم في 18 من ذلك الشهر.

برشلونة الإسباني الذي خرج من دور المجموعات في الموسم الماضي يتواجد في التصنيف الثاني، يسعى لتجنب تكرار نفس السيناريو، مع تدعيم الفريق بصفقات جديدة والعودة مرة أخرى للمنافسة على ذات الأذنين.

ويضم التصنيف الثاني كلًا من “ليفربول، تشيلسي، برشلونة، يوفنتوس، أتلتيكو مدريد، إشبيلية، لايبزيج، توتنهام”.

وبذلك، يصبح برشلونة أمام مواجهات صعبة محتملة في دور المجموعات، سنعرفها فيما يلي .. الخصوم المحتملة لـ برشلونة في دور المجموعات ..

قواعد دور المجموعات تمنع تواجد فريقين يتبعان لنفس الاتحاد المحلي، أي أن برشلونة لا يمكن أن يتواجد مع ريال مدريد المتواجد في التصنيف الأول، ويتجنب مواجهة أي فريق إسباني بذلك الدور.

-التصنيف الأول، يُمكن لـ برشلونة أن يتواجد معه واحد من (مانشستر سيتي، انتراخت فرانكفورت، ميلان، بايرن ميونخ، باريس سان جيرمان، بورتو، أياكس).

-التصنيف الثالث، يمكن لـ برشلونة أن يتواجد معه واحد من (بوروسيا دورتموند، ريد بول سالزبورج، شاختار دونيتسك، نابولي، إنتر ميلان، سبورتنج لشبونة، بنفيكا، باير ليفركوزن).

-التصنيف الرابع، يمكن لـ برشلونة أن يتواجد معه واحد من (سيلتك، كلوب بروج، مارسيليا، فيكتوريا بلزن، رينجرز، كوبنهاجن، دينامو زغرب، مكابي حيفا).

-يمكن لـ برشلونة أن يتواجد مع بايرن في نفس المجموعة، بعدما تكرر الأمر ذاته في الموسم الماضي عندما خرج البلوجرنا من مجموعة ضمت بنفيكا كذلك ودينامو كييف.

-ويمكن لـ برشلونة أن يتواجد مع باريس سان جيرمان في نفس المجموعة مثلما حدث في موسم 2014/2015، حيث يتواجد العملاق الباريسي بالتصنيف الأول كبطل للدوري الفرنسي.

-وتعد آخر الفرق القوية في التصنيف الأول، مانشستر سيتي وميلان، ويمكن أن تجمع مواجهة بين جوارديولا وفريقه السابق، وكذلك فرانك كيسيه المنضم حديثًا للبلوجرانا وروسونيري إيطاليا.

-في التصنيف الثالث، تعد أندية بوروسيا دورتموند، وإنتر ميلان ونابولي، الأندية الأصعب على برشلونة في دور المجموعات.

-المجموعة الأصعب التي بالتأكيد يريد برشلونة تجنبها، هي التي يمكن أن تضم (مانشستر سيتي / باريس سان جيرمان / بايرن ميونخ، وإنتر ميلان، ومارسيليا)، جميعها فرق واجهها الريدز في الموسم القليلة الماضية، وهي الأقوى في كل تصنيف هذا الموسم.

O técnico Zé Ricardo finalizou nesta sexta-feira a primeira semana útil de trabalho com os jogadores do Vasco. O comandante assumiu de vez a equipe na última terça-feira depois da demissão do então treinador Milton Mendes. No início da tarde, Zé Ricardo conversou com os jornalistas na sala de imprensa de São Januário e destacou a disposição dos atletas do Cruz-Maltino para os treinamentos iniciais com o seu comando.

– A disposição dos jogadores foi o destaque nessa primeira semana de trabalho aqui no Vasco. Fui muito sincero com eles que para essa semana iria fazer avaliação no elenco para semana que vem efetivamente colocar as ideias. Tenho sentido muito carinho aqui no Vasco. Com a união da torcida, jogadores e clube, trabalharemos para dar o melhor em campo – afirmou o treinador.

Apesar de ter assumido o comando do Vasco na última terça-feira, Zé Ricardo já observa o elenco desde a semana passada, quando sua contratação foi efetivada. No clássico do fim de semana, esteve no Maracanã e assistiu de uma cabine de imprensa a vitória sobre o Fluminense. O auxiliar-técnico Valdir Bigode foi o técnico interino da ocasião e passou ao Zé as suas avaliações. O treinador do Cruz-Maltino comentou.

– A conversa com o Valdir Bigode foi bastante tranquila. Tive conversas com ele antes e depois do jogo, deixei ele bem à vontade. Valdir é um profundo conhecedor de Vasco e contribuirá muito nessa nossa caminhada. Estive no Maracanã no último fim de semana e vi uma equipe muito perseverante contra o Fluminense. A vitória foi merecida – concluiu o comandante em sua entrevista coletiva.

O Vasco volta a campo pelo Campeonato Brasileiro no sábado da semana que vem, contra o Grêmio, em São Januário, com portões fechados ao torcedor ainda pela punição sofrida pelo clube cruz-maltino no Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva por conta das confusões no estádio no clássico com o Flamengo no primeiro turno da competição.

A wonderfully composed 26th Test century from Mahela Jayawardene and athrill-a-minute 92 from Tillakaratne Dilshan allowed Sri Lanka to dominatethe opening day’s play

How they were outMahela Jayawardene celebrates making his 26th Test century•AFP

A wonderfully composed 26th Test century from Mahela Jayawardene and a thrill-a-minute 92 from Tillakaratne Dilshan allowed Sri Lanka to dominatethe opening day’s play after two early wickets from Chris Martin had givenNew Zealand the perfect start in overcast conditions in Galle. Thilan Samaraweera weighed in with an unbeaten 82, adding 159 with Jayawardene, and by the time the players went off for bad light, New Zealand were downfor the count.The start had been delayed by 90 minutes and the New Zealanders had reasonto feel smug 40 minutes after winning the toss, but a rapid 118-run standquickly wiped the smiles off their faces. Dilshan drove and cut like adream, and at a pace that made you wonder whether he was practising forthe Delhi Daredevils’ Champions League campaign later this year. Thefastest century ever by a Sri Lankan was easily within reach when he cut adelivery from Iain O’Brien back on to the stumps. By then, he had 92 from72 balls, and the hapless O’Brien had gone at more than nine an over.Jayawardene’s approach was much less helter-skelter and far more measured.There were the characteristically lovely drives through the covers and thebeautiful late twirls of the wrist that sent the ball to third man, butthere were also periods of dogged defence against the accurate left-armspin of Daniel Vettori. There was a period after tea when he appearedbereft of inspiration, but once he stepped out to off-drive Vettori forfour, the fluency came surging back.Martin was clipped through midwicket for four and when O’Brien dropped oneshort, an emphatic pull for four took him to his 18th hundred on homesoil, at the very venue where he had scored his first 11 years ago.Samaraweera had been the perfect foil, taking time to play himself in andthen playing some magnificent shots himself. New Zealand had quietenedthings with a couple of maidens after tea, but Samaraweera releasedthe pressure with three boundaries off Jeetan Patel – a cover-drive, a cutand a glorious back-foot punch.New Zealand could scarcely have imagined such a leather-hunt after thestart they got. Martin’s two wickets had taken him to 162, past DannyMorrison and on to No. 4 in New Zealand’s all-time list. It took him justthree balls to make an impact. Malinda Warnapura had been dropped andDilshan asked to open, but the other opener, Tharanga Paranavitana, wassoon on his way, edging one behind. And after Kumar Sangakkara had clippedtwo lovely leg-side boundaries, there was an air of disbelief around theground as he struck one straight to Daniel Flynn at midwicket.Dilshan had watched all this from the other end, but it didn’t inhibit himin any way. He had started with a fluid drive for four off O’Brien, andthe part-time blogger was soon being subjected to harsh treatment. Therewere three ferocious off-side fours in one over, and when O’Brien droppedshort, he was pulled for six. An elegant cover-drive later, Dilshan hadhis half-century from just 30 balls.Jayawardene got off the mark with a languid drive for four off Martin, andhe kept picking the off-side gaps at regular intervals. Jacob Oram andVettori slowed down the run-rate, but with both batsmen driving Patelbeautifully through the covers, Sri Lanka were into three figures longbefore the luncheon bell rang. There was no respite after that either,with Dilshan slamming O’Brien over cover and then pulling contemptuouslyfor four more. A fierce cut took him into the 90s, but with historybeckoning, he lost the plot.There was a lull thereafter, but once Jayawardene eased to his 50 from 104balls, the scoring rate picked up again. Oram was guided fine twice andMartin then driven superbly through cover. When Samaraweera cut Patel forfour to bring up the 200, Vettori was looking around for wicket-takingoptions. There didn’t seem any. Martin bowled a decent spell with the oldball just before stumps, but the rest, Vettori apart, leaked runs, and twomajestic pulls from Samaraweera off the horribly expensive O’Brien werethe perfect bookend to a hugely satisfactory day for the Lankans.

O Botafogo que o mundo conhece, e que vai finalizar a disputa por uma vaga na semifinal da Libertadores nesta quarta-feira, é preto, branco e dono de uma história centenária. Mas na mesma Porto Alegre (RS) onde Carli, Bruno Silva e companhia vão jogar contra o Grêmio há um outro Botafogo. Se o Glorioso tem 113 anos, o xará é um pouco mais novo: já se foram 97 anos.

Rua Coronel Aristídes, 255. O quintal/garagem esconde a quadra do Botafogo Futebol Clube, diferente do carioca, que é de Futebol e Regatas. No bairro do Camaquã, o clube social passa despercebido por muitos, mas se mantém e sobrevive, atualmente, dos aluguéis semanais para os torneios amistosos. No Rio, seriam as peladas entre amigos.

-Todos os clubes de sociedade de Porto Alegre estão fechando as portas. O Petrópolis, o Teresópolis. Tem outros da elite. O nosso é mais “povão” – sorri o orgulhoso Victor Amaral, presidente tricolor do tricolor.

A repetição não foi à toa. O aposentado de 64 anos é gremista – e não abandona o Imortal pelo xará carioca nesta Copa Libertadores – e o Botafogo Futebol Clube tem o mesmo branco, igual verde e um vermelho quase grená como o Fluminense. Só prova de que não há relação entre os clubes da Zona Sul porto-alegrense e o da Zona Sul do Rio.

O futebol amador é o que sustenta o BFC, que hoje não tem equipe competindo por si – apenas cede a casa para outras. Dez anos atrás, contudo, amigos se juntaram e conquistaram o honroso título municipal, estampado não numa sala de troféus, mas em forma de foto no quadro de honra, obrigatório aos olhares dos peladeiros que pisam na quadra gaúcha.

Clubes como o Botafogo Futebol Clube, de atividades apenas sociais, são cada vez mais raros. Por isso o presidente comemora o quase centenário. Quanto ao de Futebol e Regatas, a partida desta quarta-feira, na casa do adversário, pode se tornar um passo inesquecível na já tão contada história do maior de todos os Botafogos do planeta.

عاد الدولي الإسباني هيكتور بيليرين مورينو، إلى صفوف برشلونة من جديد، وذلك بعد فسخ تعاقده مع آرسنال، في صفقة انتقال حُر.

وقام بيليرين بإنهاء عقده مع آرسنال، رغم تبقي 11 شهرًا على نهاية عقده من أجل الانتقال إلى النادي الكتالوني.

وأصبح بيليرين، سابع لاعب ينضم إلى صفوف برشلونة، بعد أندرياس كريستين، فرانك كيسيه، روبرت ليفاندوفسكي، جوليس كوندي، رافينها، فضلًا عن بابلو توري.

وبعكس المُعتاد لم يُعلن برشلونة عن الصفقة، ولكن تولت ذلك رابطة الدوري الإسباني “لا لايجا” من خلال تغريدة عبر حساب البطولة الرسمي بمنصة التواصل الاجتماعي “تويتر”.

وكتبت الرابطة: “إلى مسقط رأسه، يعود هيكتور بيليرين حيث بدأ كل شيء”.

برشلونة يرغب في تعزيز مركز الظهير الأيمن، وحاول التعاقد مع سيزار أزبيليكويتا من تشيلسي، إلا أن الإسباني رفض النادي الكتالوني وفضل التجديد مع النادي اللندني، لذا قرر إعادة بيليرين من جديد

بيليرين كان قضى الموسم الماضي مع ريال بيتيس على سبيل الإعارة، ولكن صاحب الـ27 عامًا لا يريد الاستمرار مع آرسنال.

بيليرين ظهر بشكل جيد في الموسم الماضي رفقة النادي الأندلسي، لكن ريال بيتيس يُعاني من مشاكل مالية أيضًا، ولم يسجل حتى الآن العديد من اللاعبين، بسبب قانون اللعب المالي النظيف.

بيليرين من ناشئ برشلونة، وظهر لأول مرة في أكاديمية النادي في 2010، ثم انضم إلى فريق تحت 16 عامًا، قبل ان يرحل إلى آرسنال في 2011 مقابل 500 ألف يورو.

يُذكر أن بيليرين سبق وارتبط بالانتقال إلى برشلونة، وخصوصًا في العام الماضي، إلا أن رونالد كومان المدير الفني السابق للنادي الكتالوني رفض انضمامه إلى كامب نو.

West Ham United saw the departure of one of their promising academy starlets this week but David Moyes should not be worried thanks to the array of exciting attacking talent coming through the system right now…

What’s the word?

According to the BBC, Championship outfit Peterborough United have signed 19-year-old striker Kai Corbett for an “undisclosed fee” on a “long-term deal.”

The teenager never made an appearance for the senior side but featured twice for the U-21s in the EFL Trophy last season.

Forget Corbett

He can easily be forgotten as it’s 17-year-old Sonny Perkins who is pulling up trees, both at Chadwell Heath and on the international stage.

Some around the club believe he could well be the next player to follow in Declan Rice’s footsteps, as once revealed by Irons insider ExWHUemployee.

“One thing to also pay attention to is a West Ham youngster called Sonny Perkins,” he told his ‘The West Ham Way podcast last month.

“This is someone I’ve spoken about on the podcast before as a talent, and he’s really beginning to stand out now at academy level, really getting rave reviews.

“Obviously performing on the international stage as well for his age, and he is one to keep an eye on. From what I’ve heard in the academy circles, he could be the next Declan Rice. So just keep your eye out for his progression within the next few years.”

The Hammers prospect recently broke into the club’s U23 squad, despite only being a second-year scholar, whilst he made his debut for the England under-18s just this autumn.

Across 13 appearances this season, including the Premier League 2, he has found the net eight times, averaging a goal every 120 minutes, via Transfermarkt. That is a very respectable record for any forward.

“Sometimes you forget that Sonny Perkins is only a youth team player,” ex-U23 head coach Dmitri Halajko claimed. “He could play the age group below if we wanted him to, but to get two goals at this level against a team like Liverpool as a youth team player is some achievement.”

Meanwhile, Create Talent coach Harry Brooks waxed lyrical about the teenager on social media earlier this week, claiming that he is “one of my favourite players to work with.”

“Sonny Perkins goal for England vs Netherlands… so so good. This kid is going right to the top,” he also said.

In Perkins, Moyes could have a real star of the future, so if he keeps this form up, then it’s only a matter of time before we see him involved in the senior setup in some form. Indeed, the Scotsman has regularly handed out debuts in the domestic cup competitions.

Forget Corbett, it’s Perkins who could set the London Stadium alight for many, many years to come.
