Neilton deve ser a principal novidade do Inter contra o Novo Hamburgo

MatériaMais Notícias

Após a vitória contra o Novo Hamburgo no fim de semana, o elenco do Internacional se reapresentou no CT Parque Gigante na manhã desta segunda-feira. As novidades ficaram por conta do volante Patrick e atacante Neílton, que marcaram presença no gramado ao lado dos companheiros.

Entre os dois jogadores, o Neílton é o que está mais adiantado para voltar ao time. Liberado pelos médicos do entorse no tornozelo esquerdo, ele trabalhou normalmente com bola e pode jogar na quarta-feira.

No caso de Patrick a história é diferente. O meio-campista fez um trabalho com o preparador físico e não tem presença certa no jogo de quarta-feira devido a um desconforto muscular.

Se no jogo da ida alguns titulares ficaram de fora, a tendência é que Lomba, Cuesta, Edenílson e Nico López retomem suas posições.

No primeiro jogo, o Colorado venceu o Novo Hamburgo por 2 a 0. Com o resultado, o Inter pode até perder por um gol de diferença que avança no estadual.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced a domestic calendar in which two first-class tournaments – the Quaid-e-Azam trophy and the President’s Trophy – will run simultaneously. The two List A events, like the first-class tournaments, will also be held concurrently. The Super Eight T20 Cup has been scrapped to make way for an 11-team departmental Twenty20 cup. The calendar has been chalked out to make the season financially cost-effective, and regional and department tournaments being played at the same time will allow more young players to feature for the regional teams. In previous years, players from various departments would feature in regional teams, making it difficult for other players to break into the side.The structure of domestic cricket in Pakistan has been inconsistent and revamps have occurred every two years over the last decade. However, this year, the tournament formats have been retained and the schedule adopted to accommodate simultaneous first-class and List A tournaments. The Quaid-e-Azam trophy, the country’s premier first-class tournament will have 14 regional teams, while the President’s Trophy will have 11 departmental teams playing a round-robin league phase. The first round of both tournaments begin on October 23 and the regional and department teams will play a round of one-day matches on October 28. Apart from the senior circuit, the PCB has scheduled inter-regional Under-19 three-day and one-day tournaments between October 26 to December 13. A 10-day National T20 Cup will be played between 17 teams from November 20 to 29, sandwiched between Pakistan’s international series against South Africa and Sri Lanka.One season of domestic cricket costs the PCB approximately Rs 300 million ($2.8m). With the board going through a financial crunch, it plans to reduce the cost by switching to locally made Grays cricket balls, instead of the imported Kookaburra. The department teams, who are expected to bear their own logistical costs and the costs of the ball refused to sustain the Kookaburra idea and the move is likely to help save nearly Rs 10 million. The decision to use Kookaburra balls was taken last year as the board tried to introduce international standards on the domestic cricket circuit.”We believe the season will bring a more prosperous result to our cricket,” Shakeel Sheikh, the head of PCB’s cricket committee, told ESPNcricinfo. “There is a desperate need to unearth the talent from regional nurseries, but for some reason the cycle of getting the quality young cricketers is not working as it should be. We want change and want to have more young legs in the field that will eventually replace players at the department level. Having all tournaments at the same time prevents departmental players from featuring in regional teams.”ESPNcricinfo understands that there are approximately 220 players recruited by the departments. Around 28 of those players will be on national duty during the domestic season; from the main pool, about 65-70 players age between 30 to 40 years while 67 players does not qualify for national selection due to poor fitness and performance.”This is the reason we want to induct a plan to blood youngsters in the pipeline and replace ageing players,” said Sheikh. “We want to encourage the player at the regional level and want to extend the pool of quality players and give them ample opportunity at the domestic level, and create a sense of security for their place.”Former skipper Rashid Latif, the sports head of the department team, Port Qasim Authority (PQA), supported the idea of hosting tournaments simultaneously. “It will be easier for the departments to assemble their teams for these tournaments and will save time and money,” Latif said. “Previously, there used to be a gap of a month or more between one-day and first-class tournaments, which made things difficult for departments. Regions have always been a nursery to produce new talent and hopefully we’ll see new good players coming up this season.”

Confira alguns dos principais 'chocolates' da história do futebol

MatériaMais Notícias

Esporte mais praticado em todo o planeta, o futebol tem como sua razão de ser o gol. Ele é a essência do jogo, o momento que define uma partida e leva os fãs ao delírio. Ao longo da história, o futebol já teve muitas goleadas. Relembre a seguir alguns jogos que ficaram marcados devido às goleadas inesquecíveis.

O 7 A 1 DO MINEIRAZZO

Veja os destaques que renovaram com os clubes em 2019Futebol Nacional03/04/2019

Infelizmente, a maior goleada recente em Copas do Mundo é também um grande pesadelo para os torcedores brasileiros. Na semifinal da Copa de 2014, no estádio do Mineirão, o Brasil foi goleado pela Alemanha por 7 a 1.

O time comandado por Felipão buscava um lugar na final, mas o sonho acabou rapidamente. Em um espaço de tempo de seis minutos, os alemães marcaram quatro gols. Foi a maior derrota sofrida pelo Brasil na história, superando, pelo número de gols sofridos, o 6 a 0 diante do Uruguai, no Sul-Americano de 1920.

OS BONS TEMPOS DA SELEÇÃO CANARINHO

Antes de virar vítima dos alemães, porém, a Seleção Brasileira sempre foi conhecida por seu potencial ofensivo. O Brasil já aplicou grandes placares em Copas do Mundo. O maior deles curiosamente também é um 7 a 1, na vitória sobre a Suécia na Copa de 1950.

A goleada teve quatro gols de Ademir, que viria a ser o artilheiro da campanha do vice-campeonato mundial. Chico, com dois gols, e Maneca completaram o placar para os brasileiros. Andersson descontou para os suecos.

A MAIOR GOLEADA OFICIAL DA FIFA

É comum haver grandes goleadas em jogos amadores ou do início do século passado, por exemplo. Porém, a maior goleada em competições organizadas pela Fifa aconteceu em 2002, quando a Austrália aplicou 31 a 0 em Samoa Americana, em confronto pelas Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo.

Apenas o jogador australiano Archie Thompson foi responsável por balançar as redes em 13 oportunidades. O placar dilatado inspirou, inclusive, um belíssimo documentário intitulado “Next Goal Wins” (O Próximo Gol Vence).

A MAIOR GOLEADA NO BRASIL

No Brasil, a maior goleada de que se tem notícia em uma partida oficial é responsabilidade do Botafogo. Em 30 de maio de 1909, o Alvinegro carioca venceu o Sport Club Mangueira por inacreditáveis 24 a 0 em jogo no Rio.

O Mangueira, que nada tem a ver com a tradicional escola de samba do mesmo nome, foi fundado em 1906 e encerrou suas atividades em 1927, mas a humilhante goleada acabou assegurando seu espaço na história do futebol.

OS CHOCOLATES EM COPAS

Em Copas do Mundo, a marca histórica de maior goleada pertence à Hungria, que em 1982, no Mundial da Espanha, venceu El Salvador por 10 a 1. Outro chocolate aconteceu na Copa de 1974, na Alemanha, quando a antiga Iugoslávia fez 9 a 0 na seleção africana do Zaire.

No entanto, a partida com o maior número de gols marcados em Mundiais foi a vitória da Áustria sobre a Suíça por 7 a 5, nas quartas de final da Copa de 1954, realizada na Suíça, competição que acabou vencida pela Alemanha.

OS GOLS PELO BRASILEIRÃO

Já no Campeonato Brasileiro, levando-se em conta as competições Robertão (Roberto Gomes Pedrosa), Taça Brasil, Taça de Prata e Série A, quem detém a maior goleada é o Corinthians. O Timão atropelou o Tiradentes, do Piauí, por 10 a 1, em 1983, em jogo com quatro gols de Sócrates.

A segunda maior goleada aconteceu no Campeonato Brasileiro de 1984, quando o Vasco da Gama aplicou 9 a 0 no time do Tuna Luso, do Pará, com quatro gols de Arthurzinho, três de Marcelo, um de Geovani e outro de Aírton.

Ney Franco recusa proposta da Seleção sub-20 para assumir Chape

MatériaMais Notícias

Ney Franco foi oficialmente apresentado pela Chapecoense. Em coletiva, na noite sexta-feira, o treinador revelou que recebeu proposta da Seleção Brasileira Sub-20, porém recusou para assumir o Verdão do Oeste para a temporada. O último clube do técnico foi o Goiás, em 2018, quando levou o time à Primeira Divisão do Brasileiro, porém não seguiu a frente.

– Quando a Chape me ligou, tive um contato com o Branco, diretor de base da CBF, com a possibilidade de retornar. Pedi um tempo para a Chapecoense, não porque priorizava lá, mas porque conversava primeiro. Quando acertamos agora, ainda estava em andamento a conversa com o Branco. Chegou o momento que meu agente me ligou, o Brunoro, depois falei com o Newton e achei essa possibilidade muito boa para minha carreira – revelou.

Bangladesh chase maiden Test win against NZ

A preview of the second and final Test of the series between Bangladesh and New Zealand in Mirpur

The Preview by Mohammad Isam20-Oct-2013Match factsOctober 21-25, 2013

Big pictureGiven their reputation and track record preceding this series, the drawn first Test could be seen as a positive result for Bangladesh and a negative one for New Zealand. The two sides, however, seemed satisfied. Bangladesh appeared disappointed at not achieving a result, but chasing a total over 200 on the final day was going to be difficult. New Zealand, on the other hand, felt they got a just outcome.The second and final Test of the series will offer a fascinating duel, given the desperation from both sides to win it. Bangladesh have a chance to claim their first Test win against New Zealand, and win the series, provided they clear a few barriers.The home side did well in the first Test without big contributions from Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal. In fact, Tamim struggled in the second innings, scoring 40-odd, while Shakib looked desperate to have a fifty under his belt. This hunger for runs among senior players before an important Test is a good sign for Bangladesh.The performances of Sohag Gazi and Mominul Haque have been encouraging, particularly because both players were not certain picks before the series. Now they will need more performances to affirm the faith shown in them. Anamul Haque, Rubel Hossain and Robiul Islam will also look to come good and build on their records in the past year.New Zealand have good pace bowlers in the side but their spinners nearly undermined the efforts of the rest of the attack. Left-arm spinner Bruce Martin bowled short and wide, and legspinner Ish Sodhi’s honest effort on debut did not seem to threaten the Bangladesh batsmen.Their batting is stronger. In Brendon McCullum, Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson, New Zealand have the batsmen to change the course of the game, although McCullum is yet to find form. Williamson made 114 and 74 in the Chittagong Test, and looked comfortable grinding down the Bangladesh bowlers, while Taylor showed signs of form during his stays at the crease.Form guide (last five matches, most recent first)
Bangladesh DWLLD
New Zealand DLLDDWatch out forThe first Test belonged to Sohag Gazi. He scored a maiden Test century with confidence, and then took six wickets in the second innings, including a hat-trick. The rare nature of his record will follow him from now on every time he comes in to bowl and bat.Hamish Rutherford’s starts in the first Test said much about his ability as an opening batsman. He gave it away in the first innings, while in the second he misread a straight delivery. He is an attractive player off the front foot, but has to last longer than an hour to make big runs on these pitches.Team newsNew Zealand could tweak their bowling attack, leaving out Martin for Neil Wagner or even Mark Gillespie. Corey Anderson did not have the most memorable debut Test – he bowled well but his batting returns were poor. However, it’s likely he may keep his place ahead of Dean Brownlie. Barring any last-minute injuries, the rest of the side is likely to remain unchanged.
New Zealand (likely): 1 Peter Fulton, 2 Hamish Rutherford, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Dean Brownlie/Corey Anderson, 6 Brendon McCullum (capt), 7 BJ Watling (wk), 8 Doug Bracewell, 9 Trent Boult, 10 Ish Sodhi, 11 Bruce Martin/Neil Wagner/Mark GillespieBangladesh are unlikely to change the squad that drew only its second Test against New Zealand, unless there are injury concerns. Robiul Islam struggled to bowl long spells in Chittagong, and his fitness remains a worry. Anamul Haque is the only batsman in Bangladesh’s top seven not to have made a score, so this match will be important for him.However, there were some murmurs of a third seamer being given a go in place of Abdur Razzak. Mushfiqur Rahim said the team will stick to the seven batsmen-four bowlers composition and the playing XI would only be finalised on the morning of the match.Bangladesh (likely): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Anamul Haque, 3 Marshall Ayub, 4 Mominul Haque, 5 Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), 6 Shakib Al Hasan, 7 Nasir Hossain, 8 Sohag Gazi, 9 Abdur Razzak, 10 Robiul Islam, 11 Rubel Hossain.Stats and trivia Sohag Gazi’s hat-trick in the first Test was the first by a Bangladeshi spinner since Alok Kapali’s achievement in 2003 against Pakistan. The 27 sixes hit during the first Test equaled the record for most sixes hit in a Test match. The other game with 27 sixes was played between India and Pakistan in Faisalabad in 2006. Mominul Haque’s 203 runs in the first Test is the second highest aggregate for a Bangladeshi batsman in Tests, behind Mohammad Ashraful’s 212 runs.Pitch and conditionsThe Mirpur wicket will be slow, but will offer much to batsmen and spinners. The fast bowlers will struggle, although reverse swing is a possibility given the outfield conditions. There was heavy rain on Sunday morning and forecasts suggest more showers over the next week.Quotes”Our target will be to hold on to the consistency that we showed in the last game. My personal goal would be to take five wickets.”
“We want to win the game rather than just draw it.”

Arena Corinthians será fechada para reforma de 30 dias após o Paulistão

MatériaMais Notícias

A Arena Corinthians ficará fechada por 30 dias após o término do Paulistão. A revelação foi feita pelo presidente do clube, Andrés Sanchez, pouco depois da classificação da equipe à final do Campeonato Paulista. O gramado será completamente substituído para recuperar a boa condição perdida nos últimos meses.

De acordo com o dirigente, oMonster Jam, evento de carros realizado na Arena em dezembro do ano passado, foi determinante para a péssima condição do gramado no decorrer de 2019. O excesso de areia e as falhas têm incomodado os jogadores tanto do Corinthians como os rivais.

Andrés ainda não sabe onde o Timão irá atuar após o Paulistão, cuja final no estádio será em 21 de abril. A Copa América tem início previsto para o dia 14 de junho. Desta forma, o clube pode ficar sem atuar em seu estádio até o término da competição de seleções.

– Vamos ter que acabar o Paulista e reformar a Arena, o gramado. Serão 30 dias. Vamos ver onde podemos jogar. Vamos fechar não pela Copa América, mas pelo Corinthians. Infelizmente, depois dos caminhões, ficou ruim e não conseguimos recuperar. E tem de trocar. Teríamos de ter parado no começo do ano. Erramos e vamos fazer agora – disse o presidente.

'Can't get too ahead of myself' – Anderson

A Test hundred in only his second game has helped Corey Anderson take a firm first step towards claiming a place in the New Zealand side and emulating his idol, Chris Cairns

Mohammad Isam in Mirpur23-Oct-2013

Corey Anderson: “To have it this early on, it has put me in a good head space”•AFP

As a kid, Corey Anderson would swing his bat around and bowl in his Christchurch backyard, hoping, one day, to follow in the footsteps of his hero, Chris Cairns.As he grew older and progressed through age-group and first-class cricket, shoulder and groin injuries almost robbed Anderson of his dream. But on Wednesday, he took a firm first step to claiming the allrounder’s spot in the New Zealand side, helped by the maiden hundred in only his second Test.”It took me a lot longer in first-class cricket,” Anderson said, “But I guess I have learned my trade. To get it this early is satisfying, and obviously a good feeling to score a hundred for your country. I still had a little bit of luck today, a few edges and misfields. To have it this early on, it has put me in a good head space. It feels like you belong, but I can’t get too ahead of myself.”On the third day, Anderson walked into a situation that Bangladesh were looking to exploit. After play on the second day, Shakib Al Hasan had mentioned the importance of dismissing Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson as Bangladesh sought to take control.One half of that plan worked out early in the first session on the third day when Shakib dismissed Taylor with the score at 127 for 4. The other half depended on how quickly they could remove Williamson, or manage to isolate him by taking wickets at the other end. Anderson, after struggling early on, ensured that New Zealand were safe for the rest of the session.”They bowled well, so Kane had to adjust and soak up the pressure,” Anderson said. “I wasn’t feeling that I was stuck. I thought the runs will come after a little while. Once you started playing a few shots, the field started moving around. It felt like we were going on top as the day went on. It’s good to have a position where we have ended up.”He hit his first boundary off the 33rd ball he faced having scored five until then. By lunch, he had moved to 75, dominating the partnership with Williamson, New Zealand’s leading run-getter on the tour. The Northern Districts team-mates put together 140 runs for the fifth wicket and Williamson kept calming Anderson down during the stand.”We are in Northern Districts together, so it was nice batting with someone with whom I bat often,” Anderson said. “He’s a good player; he helps you through every over. He told me what I needed to do. I am someone who gets carried away when I am hitting the ball. He knows me well enough to mention a couple of things, and rein me back in.”As he moved closer to his hundred, Anderson coped well with the weather conditions. There was no sun of course, making it easier for him than it was in Vizag last month, when he scored a hundred for New Zealand A against India A, and Anderson said that acclimatisation had helped.”Having a warm-up in India was perfect,” he said. “It was very hot in Vizag when I got that hundred. Even though it was humid here, it wasn’t quite as hot. It held me in good stead that I went through a decent amount of time.”A century from a New Zealand allrounder draws comparison with some of the country’s memorable names. For Anderson, the goal is to emulate Cairns as the go-to guy for his team.”Chris Cairns was always my idol as I was growing up,” he said. “I based my game around him. I always wanted to be Chris Cairns when I played in the backyard. It was postponed for a long time with my injuries, but now my body has started to mature. I want to put my hand up and be that allrounder in that squad. If I can get runs and take wickets where I can, I will be happy.”New Zealand have had a few performers on this tour and it’s a good sign for the team. On previous tours, Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum had done well. On this tour, audiences in Bangladesh are learning about Williamson, Peter Fulton, BJ Watling, Trent Boult and, now, Anderson.
