O que você diria se esta crônica não mencionasse o resultado do confronto entre Corinthians e Osasco Audax, neste sábado, na Arena? Para evitar críticas semelhantes às que recebe (ou recebia) o inventivo Fernando Diniz, lá vai: 2 a 2 no tempo normal e 4 a 1 nos pênaltis a favor do time de Osasco, primeiro finalista do Paulista e que agora espera o jogo entre Santos e Palmeiras para saber quem enfrentará nos dois próximos domingos.

Neste sábado, mais importante do que os números de um placar, foi o sopro de esperança que o futebol paulista recebeu no embate entre dois times que têm conceito de jogo: tratam bem a bola, atacam, criam, erram, acertam, se atiram… jogam futebol! No embate entre os estrategistas Tite e Fernando Diniz, quem se divertiu mesmo foram os mais de 40 mil presentes na Arena.

O time visitante começou melhor, e não à toa foi o primeiro time que saiu na frente do Corinthians em Itaquera. nesta temporada. Superada a pressão alta aplicada pelos comandados de Tite nos primeiros minutos, o Audax se soltou. Aos 25, Bruno Paulo avançou pelo lado esquerdo, deu belo corte para o centro e bateu colocadinha, sem chances para Cássio. Antes da rede balançar, o Audax errou um monte de vezes, mas o ataque do Timão não soube aproveitar. Haja coração!

Não parecia ser desorganização do Corinthians, e sim eficiência do Audax na aplicação de sua proposta ofensiva. Só para destacar o “ofensiva”, porque na defesa era o famoso Deus nos acuda. Aos seis do segundo tempo não houve quem acudisse: Bruno Henrique aproveitou o quarto erro de saída para cruzar na área e ver André deixar igual.

O Corinthians diminuiu o ritmo depois do gol e o Audax foi atrás do tempo perdido. A chance de fazer história era única, afinal. Aos 25, de novo, com um tiro precioso de fora da área, Tchê Tchê chamou o Timão à “balada boa” e refez a vantagem.Tinha jogo! Em jogada individual pela direita, Romero serviu André, que empatou o placar outra vez.

Apesar de uma prorrogação não fazer mal a ninguém, o regulamento prevê pênaltis, e assim foi. Velicka acertou, André acertou, Tchê Tchê acertou e aí… Fagner acertou a trave. Depois, Ytalo acertou e Rodriguinho… viu Sidão defender. Coube a Camacho o gol da classificação. A história foi escrita na Arena Corinthians.

Speaking after his side’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has lauded his side’s “perfect” performance.

What did he say?

The Saints have endured a miserable start to the current campaign, with their 9-0 humiliation at home to Leicester undeniably their worst experience in their time in the Premier League.

And having headed into the weekend’s game in the relegation zone and travelling to the Emirates, Hasenhuttl’s side may have been fearing the worst. Instead, they were hugely unlucky to only come away with a point, with a series of missed opportunities towards the closing stages of the game.

However, despite failing to see his side hold on for all three points, the Austrian paid tribute to his players’ performances, and insisted they have now set the benchmark for what is to be expected of them.

He said (as quoted by The Daily Echo): “I think they can do it and I will them to do it because you have to. Coming now are two home games and we must have a performance like that all the time. That doesn’t mean we always play in that shape but today it was perfect and we surprised the opponent a little bit being so early on the front foot and trying to attack them very early.

“We won so many balls in the opponent half and had so often a counter attack situation. his was only because we were brave and didn’t want to defend deep and keep them away from our goal because of the quality they have in the final third. That was the right match plan I think and for this point I am happy but maybe a couple more.”

Platform

Make no mistake about it, Southampton were in desperate need of not just a good performance, but also a positive result too. And they delivered on both fronts on Saturday. The fact they come away from the game feeling like it’s two points dropped courtesy of how the match actually panned out, should really offer Hasenhuttl’s side a whole deal of encouragement.

It gives them a platform from which to build on, and as the manager himself pointed to, they have a couple of fixtures coming up that they should be looking to take close to maximum points from. The Arsenal game has given them some much-needed confidence that they can compete, and if they can produce something similar from now on, they will surely be able to avoid real trouble.

Having signed from Benfica, Raul Jimenez has proven to be an incredibly shrewd acquisition for Wolves. The Mexico international has been banging in the goals, left, right and centre, and has spearheaded the attack for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.

As per Transfermarkt, the striker has been in prolific form this season, scoring 13 goals in 22 games, with eight of them coming in his side’s forays into the Europa League.

And the 28-year-old took his excellent form into Saturday afternoon’s Premier League clash against Bournemouth, netting what proved to be the decisive goal in their 2-1 win.

After seeing Jimenez’s goal-scoring display, Wolves fans took to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the £31.5m-rated forward.

Many supporters of the Molineux side were left raving over his goal, with one excited fan in particular claiming that he is the “best striker in the Premier League”.

Check out some of the reaction of Wolves fans after their win over Bournemouth, below:

As the international break takes place, many young English talents have a rare chance to shine and play 90 minutes of football. The likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Mason Greenwood, who would not typically start on a regular basis in the Premier League, now have a chance to really show what they can do.

One man in particular who will be heading into the international fixtures full of motivation and intent is Phil Foden. The young Manchester City star has established himself as one of the brightest young talents in the country under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.

Now, as he is likely to start for England U21s against Albania, Foden has a real chance to stake a claim for a starting role under the Spaniard. The 19-year-old is yet to start a league game for City this season and has had to settle for EFL Cup games for his chance to shine.

Foden has, however, played in two Champions League games, where he has scored and assisted for the Citizens. If the academy graduate can replicate the type of performance that saw him thrive in the 5-1 win over Atalanta, where he created four big chances, Boothroyd’s side will have a great chance of collecting a victory.

City’s playmaker-in-chief, David Silva, was back in the squad for the defeat to Liverpool, although a solid performance from Foden could put him in contention for a starting berth against Chelsea. Up next for the champions is the visit of the Blues before they face off with Shakhtar Donetsk, where a win would see them qualify for the next stage of the Champions League.

After this City face trips to Newcastle United and Burnley, where the youngster should certainly be considered.

In truth, with a positive performance on Friday, Foden should be chosen for the Shakhtar clash, as City already have some breathing space in Group C.

There is also the inevitable departure of Silva, who stated in June that he will leave the Etihad Stadium after ten glorious years in Manchester.

Now, Guardiola has the chance to see Foden get plenty of action for England and the City boss, and the supporters, would be wise to keep an eye on his performance.

يرى طارق سليمان مدرب حراس مرمى الأهلي السابق ومصر المقاصة الحالي، أن غياب محمد الشناوي حارس عرين الأحمر عن مباراة القمة ضربة كبيرة للفريق.

الأهلي يلاقي الزمالك في المباراة المؤجلة من الجولة الرابعة في الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وقال طارق سليمان في مداخلة هاتفية لبرنامج “النجوم في رمضان” عبر إذاعة “الشباب والرياضة”: “غياب الشناوي ضربة كبيرة للأهلي، فبخلاف كونه قائد الفريق فهو الحارس الذي يحسم المباريات الكبيرة لصالح الأحمر”.

وأضاف: “أنا من أحضرت علي لطفي للأهلي وواثق في قدراته، واتصلت به اليوم وحفزته لتقديم مباراة قوية، كان من المهم أن يسمع مني أنه حارس كبير وموهوب وأنه سيؤدي مباراة كبيرة وسيكون نجم المباراة”.

وواصل: “قلت لعلي لطفي لا تتأثر بحديث الناس عن غياب الشناوي، فهو حارس كبير وطبيعي يكون هناك قلق في غيابه، والشناوي نفسه واجه ظروف صعبة في بداياته وعندما تخطاها أصبح حارس كبير ويجب أن تفعل مثله”.

وتابع: “هناك فرق بين حب الناس لتواجد الشناوي وبين ثقتهم في علي لطفي، ومدرب حراس الأهلي قال له هذا، كلنا واثقين فيه ووارد يكون هناك أخطاء لأنه لا يشارك منذ فترة، لكن لا يوجد شك أنه حارس موهوب ومباراة الليلة ستكون نقطة انطلاق علي لطفي في عرين الأحمر”.

واختتم حديثه موجها رسالة لحارسي الأهلي والزمالك: “علي لطفي لابد أن يكون هادئا، ويتحرك بشكل جيد، أما أبو جبل، فأنت حارس كبير حتى لو لم تشارك في المباريات الأخيرة فلابد أن يكون عندك ثقة في نفسك”.

Enough is enough.

Looks as if these Leeds fans are tired of hearing the same lines from Marcelo Bielsa.

Speaking after the draw against Preston North End, Bielsa said that despite the result, he felt that Leeds United ‘dominated and commanded the match’.

Whilst the statistics might back him up on that fact, having double the amount of total shots and corners than their hosts (via BBC Sport), the end result clearly didn’t do much to bring the supporters onto his side.

So they tore into Bielsa with many people claiming that they are sick and tired of hearing the same old lines from the boss when it comes to their failure to turn dominance into results.

The Whites have had an incredibly shoddy goal ratio this season, elevated by Patrick Bamford’s inability to hit the back of the net in eight consecutive matches.

From a league-high total of 16.9 shots per game, Leeds have only managed 17 goals in the Championship.

It’s perhaps unsurprising they finally took issue with Bielsa. Here’s what fans have been saying.

There was even one fan who has reached his final straw when it comes to the boss, calling for him to go.

That might be a tad harsh, especially given how early in the season is, there’s still time to turn things around. But how much time does he have before the majority of the fan base swings against him? With the expectations placed upon them, it’s going to have to be sooner rather than later.

Liverpool were beaten in Naples for the second year running on Tuesday night, and Jason McAteer has given his thoughts on the clash exclusively to Football FanCast, in partnership with GentingBet.

The Reds were victim of a controversial penalty decision at the San Paolo Stadium, as Jose Callejon appeared to already be going to ground before Andy Robertson clipped him.

McAteer shared his view on the incident: “No, I didn’t (think it was a penalty). I thought the referee got it wrong.

“It was a weak one, Robertson asked the question of the referee to make a decision, but it would be nice to see the referee take a stance against people clattering into defenders and falling over and diving.”

The second goal came courtesy of a mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and the rest of the back-line, and although the Reds have have kept just one clean sheet this campaign, the former Kop ace is not concerned by the issues at the back.

“For 80 minutes we were worth a point and I think if you had offered Jurgen (Klopp) that he would have taken it.

“It’s obviously raising question marks because of the defensive form we had last season, but there are going to be times when other teams create chances, are clinical and we are going to concede goals.

“I’m not pointing that at Adrian, but to lose a ‘keeper of Alisson’s quality, when he’s got the understanding of the four in front of him, it is a big loss.”

Fabinho was undoubtedly the Reds’ star player on the night with 95% passing and six tackles, and McAteer was absolutely full of praise for the Brazil international.

“He gives the manager a license to be more expansive with the two players alongside him.

“He’s slowly becoming a cult hero at the club, more or less now he’s the first name on the team-sheet. I’m a big fan of his, I wouldn’t put him quite in N’Golo Kante’s bracket just yet, but he’s certainly not far away.”

Elsewhere in the group, Erling Haaland stole the headlines with a hat-trick for Red Bull Salzburg, and speaking on his upcoming battle with van Dijk, McAteer said: “He’s still a young lad, it will be a good test to come up against arguably the greatest defender in the world.

“Playing for Salzburg is different to playing for one of the top, top clubs. It’s whether he gets the service and whether Salzburg have enough of the ball.

“But for him as a learning curve you always want to put yourself against the best, and I’m sure he’ll learn from the experience.”

Klopp’s side will welcome the Austrian outfit to Anfield on October 2.

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Opinion series, which provides analysis, insight and opinion on any issue within the beautiful game, from Paul Pogba’s haircuts to League Two relegation battles…

Jack Ross’ obsession with his side’s defensive issues is consuming him, and it’s doing the Black Cats more harm at the other end of the pitch.

Two, zero, five, five, five, six, zero, one. Those are the goals conceded by Bolton in their eight league games this season.

The Wanderers have the joint-worst defensive record in League One, averaging three goals conceded every game, but Ross’ side account for that disappointing one at the end of the list.

Now, while Coventry City and Oxford United should also feel rather ashamed of their blanks, Sunderland’s goalscoring issues are being caused by one thing, and that is the manager’s incessant desire to focus all his time and energy into something he seemingly has no clue how to fix.

After the 1-1 draw against Rotherham, what did the boss talk about in his post-match review? Clean sheets. A week later, after being booed off the pitch due to a 1-1 draw with struggling Bolton, what did he talk about? Clean sheets.

Maybe we missed a memo, but the last time we checked there are two parts to winning a football match. One is the thing Ross craves so very much, but the other is scoring goals, and that aspect of Sunderland’s game is now suffering. Even some fans have noticed it.

While earlier in the campaign the Black Cats were winning games comfortably due to their prowess at the other end – four separate 3-1 wins can attest to that – they are slowly but surely becoming more passive and negative in the pursuit of clean sheets.

And here’s the kicker – they don’t have one single clean sheet, and the manager is yet to change his formation or defensive system to try and change that.

They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, and while the former St. Mirren boss has made some slight changes in his personnel, he rarely ever strays from his horrifically boring 4-2-3-1 formation.

Perhaps it’s a bit of a stretch to say his quest for a clean sheet is bordering on the insane, but there is no question it is eating away at him, and if he is not going to make any effort to alter his system then the least he could do is deploy his side with more freedom to make up for it at the other end, or shut up about it.

Barcelona’s day suddenly got a lot worse and for once, it’s not about Neymar Junior.

RAC1, usually a really reliable source for all things Barcelona, came out with news that Lionel Messi’s injury has taken a turn for the worse and that the Blaugrana’s star player will be out for longer than expected – potentially another month.

Messi has already missed the first two clashes against Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis but was recovering well and everything pointed towards a quick return to action.

Still, if this news is to be believed, we won’t be seeing the Argentine on the pitch for a while longer.

And it’s safe to say that the news left most of the Barcelona fans in disbelief as they were all looking forward to seeing the little magician play after a while out. Messi has been carrying this injury since he returned back from his holiday.

You can see some of the reactions of the fans in the tweets below:

Luckily for Barcelona, though, it seems that the extent of the injury is not as bad as was initially thought but Messi will take somewhat longer to return nonetheless.
