A ideia do Vasco era conseguir a classificação antecipada para a semifinal da Taça Guanabara. Mas os planos do técnico Cristovão Borges, na noite deste domingo, não surtiram o efeito esperado. No Raulino de Oliveira, os vascaínos foram derrotados por 1 a 0 pelo Volta Redonda, apesar de o time ter criado chances. A vaga, agora, será decidida no sábado, contra a Portuguesa, em São Januário – uma vitória simples classificará a equipe.

Cristovão Borges optou pela força máxima em campo. A dupla Gilberto e Kelvin, destaque na quinta-feira anterior, estreou como titular com a promessa de manter o ritmo. Entretanto, os jogadores do Vasco não esperavam que logo aos três minutos de partida, o Volta Redonda abrisse o placar com David, em chegada com velocidade e com nenhum vascaíno na marcação.

Atrás, o Vasco não sossegou e passou a dominar o Volta Redonda. Kelvin deu a movimentação tão solicitada por Cristovão Borges no setor ofensivo vascaíno, variando na direita e na esquerda. Uma contrapartida desta situação foi o fato de Kelvin não ter apresentado a mesma química na esquerda com Alan do que na direita com Gilberto. Mas nada que influenciasse o desenrolar.

Uma sequência perigosa do Vasco na busca do gol foi vista desde então. Aos 17, Nenê cobrou falta, a bola sobra duas vezes e no fim, Guilherme Costa concluiu por cima. Sete minutos mais tarde, Guilherme quase faz novamente em chegada de Kelvin. A blitz vascaína seguiu aos 29, 31, 33 e 35, mas Muriqui, Nenê, Guilherme e Rodrigo, respectivamente, não superaram o goleiro Douglas, do time do Volta Redonda.

Como o panorama do primeiro tempo foi positivo, Cristovão Borges, com razão, manteve a equipe para a segunda etapa. E viu no minuto inicial acontecer a primeira chance perigosa para o Vasco. Kelvin recebeu de Muriqui após passe de Nenê e tirou tinta da trave adversária. O treinador resolveu promover a estreia de Wagner para melhorar a finalização, mas o ritmo já não foi o visto nos 45 minutos iniciais e não deu tão certo como era o esperado.

Na pressão, o Vasco tentou o possível e o impossível, mas a bola teimou em não entrar. Cristovão Borges tem pela frente uma semana livre de treinamentos para não errar na decisão do próximo fim de semana. Mas o caminho não está errado.

A retomada das conversas entre Rodriguinho e Fenerbahce (TUR) informada pelo LANCE! em novembro teve resultados concretos nesta quinta-feira: o estafe do meio-campista de 28 anos solicitou uma reunião com a diretoria alvinegra e apresentou uma proposta oficial de compra dos 50% dos direitos econômicos que o Timão detém do jogador. Os valores não foram revelados, mas a primeira resposta do Corinthians foi negativa. Apesar disso, as conversas continuam e o negócio ainda não está descartado.

No meio do ano passado, Rodriguinho havia recebido oferta do Fenerbahce e foi sondado pelo Besiktas, mas as duas propostas de empréstimo foram rejeitadas. Depois, os contatos foram retomados. Clubes dos Emirados Árabes, onde Rodriguinho atuou entre 2014 e 2015, e da China também sondaram o jogador, mas os valores não agradaram o jogador e seu estafe. Desta vez, porém, há o desejo da transferência.

Aos 28 anos e vivendo um dos melhores momentos da carreira com a convocação para a Seleção Brasileira, o meia entende que não pode esperar muito para realizar o sonho de atuar no futebol europeu. O contrato do jogador acaba no fim de 2017, e o Timão detém 50% dos direitos econômicos do atleta. Caso rejeite ofertas e bata o pé para manter Rodriguinho, o clube terá de adquirir os percentuais dos parceiros Capivariano (40%) e América-MG (10%).

No início do mês, o Corinthians chegou a um acordo com os representantes do meia para renovar o contrato (que permite até mesmo liberação para pré-contrato no meio da temporada), mas nada foi oficializado. O novo vínculo seria até o fim de 2019 e daria maior poder de negociação ao clube. Como ainda não definiu o novo contrato, o Timão deseja manter seu camisa 26.

As reuniões de última hora por Rodriguinho, inclusive, fizeram a diretoria do Corinthians adiar o encontro com os empresários do meia Jadson, que estava previsto para ocorrer nesta quinta-feira.

On a pitch tailor-made for high scoring, home team Western Australia proved more in tune with conditions than South African rival, KwaZulu-Natal, to win the Champions Cup Final by a margin of six wickets at the WACA ground in Perth tonight

CricInfo04-Apr-2001On a pitch tailor-made for high scoring, home team Western Australia proved more in tune with conditions than South African rival, KwaZulu-Natal, to win the Champions Cup Final by a margin of six wickets at the WACA ground in Perth tonight. The Warriors, who remained undefeated throughout this four-team tournament, overhauled the Dolphins’ score of 8/243 with five deliveries to spare.Despite the brilliant late rally engineered by all-rounder John Kent (81*) and wicketkeeper-batsman Errol Stewart (46), KwaZulu-Natal’s total always looked a shade modest.This was particularly true once Western Australian openers Marcus North (55) and Ryan Campbell (29) had added a stand of sixty in better than even time at the start of the evening session. Star batsmen Simon Katich (67*) and Justin Langer (34) also weighed in, ensuring that the side which gained entry to this tournament by virtue of winning the 1999-2000 Mercantile Mutual Cup always retained a decisive edge.Kent and Stewart threatened to spoil the locals’ party when they joined to add an enterprising ninety-five runs for the seventh KwaZulu-Natal wicket earlier in the day. Kent’s strokeplay and placement was inspired; Stewart’s did not lose much by comparison; and the pair scampered cleverly between the wickets. But a succession of dismissals through the early stages of the visitors’ innings ensured that they were never able to fully capitalise upon their victory at the toss. Speedsters Matthew Nicholson (2/50) and Jo Angel (2/39) wreaked havoc initially, reducing their opponents to scorelines of 3/41 and 6/133 at different times.Even a promising partnership of fifty-five between Mark Bruyns (33) and man-of-the-series Wade Wingfield (28) met an unsavoury end when the latter was disastrously run out after pushing a delivery sedately into the leg side.West Indian veteran Eldine Baptiste (2/40) later hit back in a lionhearted display for the Dolphins, and the fielding always remained enthusiastic. At the end of seven days of general dominance over opponents which had come from as far afield as India, New Zealand and South Africa, though, the Western Australians remained a step ahead of the competition.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Lille forward Jonathan Ikone ahead of this summer’s transfer window.

What’s the story?

According to The Mirror, Jurgen Klopp’s charges are interested in acquiring the 23-year-old’s signature after helping Les Dogues secure their first Ligue 1 title in 10 years.

The report claimed that Liverpool are preparing a £25m-plus-player deal for Ikone, with Xherdan Shaqiri possibly moving in the opposite direction.

Edwards would be making a mistake

Injury issues to key centre-backs Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip played a big part in the Anfield outfit’s disappointing 2020/21 campaign, but perhaps problems in attack were equally to blame.

While Mohamed Salah continued to put the ball in the back of the net at a consistent rate throughout the recently-concluded campaign, bagging 31 goals in 51 appearances for the Reds, the form of Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino dipped considerably.

The duo scored a combined total of 34 Premier League goals in 2018/19, before that total dropped to 27 the following season when Liverpool were crowned champions of England.

However, another sharp decrease to a joint tally of just 20 league goals in 2020/21, alongside the defensive issues which ravished the Merseyside outfit, saw Klopp’s charges finish 17 points behind table-toppers Manchester City.

The duo’s poor displays have led to several star names being linked with a move to Liverpool this summer such as Jadon Sancho, Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann, but Ikone is certainly not of the same calibre as those star-studded figures.

Although the France international was a regular in Christophe Galtier’s title-winning side, making 37 top-flight appearances as Lille dethroned Paris Saint-Germain, his contribution was hardly eye-catching.

Ikone bagged just four goals and provided a modest total of five assists en route to his first league title, while Burak Yilmaz and Jonathan David shared the bulk of the goalscoring burden for the newly-crowned Ligue 1 winners.

Therefore, signing the 23-year-old would prove to be a big mistake from director of football Michael Edwards. Liverpool need some top-class reinforcements at the top end of the pitch to mount another title tilt, and Ikone just doesn’t seem up to the required standard.

The Reds have been stung before when signing pacey forwards from Ligue 1, with El Hadji Diouf failing to deliver during his time at Anfield after impressing for Lens, and the club’s hierarchy should learn their lesson this time around.

Leeds United splashed the cash last summer and look set to do so once again as they look to improve on this season’s top half finish, and someone like Matheus Cunha would have to start at Elland Road if they could afford to attract the Brazillian, according to former Whites striker Brian Deane.

Cunha was part of the Hertha Berlin side that were almost relegated from the Bundesliga before a late revival saw them lose just once in their last nine games, albeit it was a meaningless final game of the season against Hoffenheim.

The Brazillian can play as either a winger or a striker but injuries have hampered him this season, however he’s still managed to return seven goals and six assists in 27 games for Hertha and despite this, he’s being linked with a £40 million move away.

With Marcelo Bielsa set to extend his stay with Leeds beyond this summer, signing someone like Cunha for such a large fee could be on the cards but Deane believes that he would have to start most games for Leeds to be worth that much money, as he explained exclusively to Football FanCast:

“Yeah, he would have to start because you don’t bring in a player for that kind of money and not expect to play him but you look at Rodrigo and he hasn’t really pulled up any trees, from a goal-scoring point of view.

“It’s always going to be difficult coming in, but I think there’s enough at Leeds to help support somebody new arriving at the club, as long as they are the right type of character as well.”

Cunha was only signed in January 2020 from RB Leipzig for a fee of around £16 million and during the second half of the season his five goals in 11 games helped Hertha put together a late, but unsuccessful push for the Europa League.

Leeds are certainly well stocked in attack with Raphinha, Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo and Jack Harrison all likely to be at the club next season, so another wide player may not be at the top of the club’s priority list.

O treino do Botafogo desta sexta-feira foi, mais uma vez, fechado. Porém, o Glorioso está praticamente definido para encarar o Grêmio, neste domingo. O lateral-esquerdo Diogo Barbosa foi novamente titular no meio-campo, na atividade realizada em General Severiano e assim deve começar jogando.

Com ele, Pachu fica mesmo como opção no banco de reservas. Outro indício forte apurado pelo LANCE! foi a manutenção de Emerson Silva na equipe titular, mesmo com o xará mais jovem recuperado das dores no tornozelo direito, conforme palavras do próprio treinador.

Assim, o Alvinegro deve ir a campo, em Porto Alegre (RS), com: Sidão, Alemão, Carli, Emerson Silva e Victor Luís; Bruno Silva e Airton; Rodrigo Pimpão, Camilo e Diogo Barbosa; Sassá.

Quem não vai à capital gaúcha é o goleiro Helton Leite. O reserva tem um edema na coxa direita e não vem treinando. O banco será ocupado por Saulo.

Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been heaping praise on the club’s under-18 side following their 3-0 away win over Tottenham on Saturday.

Striker Victor Akinwale scored an early penalty for the Eagles to put them on their way, with late strikes from midfielders Jack Wells-Morrison and Maliq Cadogan securing the three points.

The win against Spurs saw Palace return to the top of the Premier League U18 Category 1 South League table at the expense of Fulham. They are three points clear of the Cottagers but have played one game more.

There are only two matches remaining for Palace in their quest for the title, an away trip to Brighton before ending their campaign at home to West Brom.

Palace fans react

The club shared the update on the 3-0 win on their official Twitter page on Saturday afternoon. These Eagles fans were full of praise for the club’s youngsters, with one describing their talent as ‘insane’.

Daniel Farke’s Norwich City side are considering a summer move for Union Berlin midfielder Robert Andrich.

What’s been said?

That’s according to a report by German outlet Bild (via Football League World), who claim that Farke is scouring the German leagues for potential summer additions to his newly-promoted squad, and that Andrich has caught the 44-year-old’s attention.

It is then claimed that, with the Union Berlin midfielder’s contract set to expire in 2022, the Bundesliga side would be willing to cash in on the 26-year-old this summer, opening the door for Stuart Webber to make a move.

Farke would love him

With on-loan midfielder Oliver Skipp looking likely to return to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, as well as Alex Tettey’s contract running out at the end of the season, central midfield is very much a position that Farke will be looking to strengthen ahead of the Canaries’ Premier League campaign.

And, with Andrich being comfortable in operating from defensive midfield, central midfield, and even in the number 10 role, the £5.4 million-rated man’s versatility is likely to be something that Farke would value extremely highly at Carrow Road.

Indeed, over his 28 Bundesliga appearances for Urs Fischer’s side this season, Andrich has demonstrated both his workmanlike grit in as well as his creative and clinical qualities, with the £7,700-per-week midfielder making an average of 1.8 interceptions, 1.8 tackles and 1.1 clearances per game, while also scoring five goals and registering two assists in the German top flight.

Overall, the former Germany U20 international has averaged a SofaScore match rating of 6.91 for Union this season, ranking him as the club’s eighth-best performer in the Bundesliga.

As such, considering his impressive returns and City’s need for reinforcements in the middle of the park, a deal for Andrich should be extremely high on Webber’s list of priorities when the summer transfer window opens. He’d be a great replacement for Tetty.

Memphis Depay, currently captaining the Olympique Lyonnais men’s team in their pursuit of their first Ligue Un since their seven-successive title wins ended in the 2008/2009 season, is linked with a transfer to Liverpool almost every season. His contract with Lyon ends at the end of this season, and by all indications it looks like he won’t resign with the club. He is twenty-seven years old now, entering his prime. It’s likely, regardless of what happens in the Ligue Un title race, he wants to test himself elsewhere.

Since Ronald Koeman became Barcelona manager, many Dutch players – including Liverpool’s Georginio Wijnaldum, whose deal is up at Anfield this summer too – have been touted to join him at the Camp Nou. It’s widely anticipated that this is where Memphis ends up. However, Marca are suggesting Liverpool and Juventus have tabled offers, trying to sway the Dutchman away from it seems he may well inevitably end up.

Liverpool

As things currently stand, the Premier League’s defending champions will fail to retain their title. For those who enjoy placing the odd bet on football, this current position translates to them being 1000/1 longshots with eight games to go. It’s been a tough season for the Reds, losing three starting centre-backs to season-ending injuries, and then having key players miss games throughout the season with minor knocks and muscle issues. However, for fans, pundits, and journalists, Liverpool’s squad was entering into a rebuild phase this season or next anyway.

The signing of Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig is reportedly all but completed, with minor details being ironed out before the player undertakes a medical. This is the first step in organising a long-term picture for the defence. It’s highly likely Liverpool make Kabak a permanent signing too. Van Djik will come back into the team, but he’s approaching thirty years-old and after recovering from such a major injury there will be uncertainties about how well he’ll perform. Injuries can not only deliver physical blows but also mental and emotional issues in their wake. The same goes for Gomez. Both Konate and Kabak are low-risk-high-reward signings who offer on-field value now and in the future.

Up the other end of the pitch is where there will be serious questions asked. All of their front three are aging. They are approaching the point where their value will only depreciate. To rebuild, Liverpool will need money. Salah has been hinting at leaving, which could become more concrete if Liverpool fail to qualify for the Champions League, and he will be the most expensive sale. Liverpool won’t want to lose their star player. Firmino’s performances, at least in terms of goal output, have dwindled, and it’s likely he could be sold before Salah. Mane, though, in an ideal world, could be the one to sell right now. His talent is undeniable, and, due to his incredible fitness, it’s likely the age curve could be kind to him, meaning his “peak” could well extend into his thirties, making him an attractive transfer for some teams and, therefore, holding a better price than Firmino. This is where Memphis could fit in.

Depay of Previous Years

In his time at PSV, he looked like a shot monster. Some of the locations were questionable, with many being for distances which made the likelihood of goal very, very slim. However, on the whole, there was promise as this many shots and scoring at the rates he was scoring suggested it could well be translatable to “tougher” leagues, which was why Manchester United took a chance. It didn’t work out for him in Manchester. He failed to become a regular under the two managers he worked under in his two seasons at the club before seeking a move in January of 2017. United do have a buy-back clause, but that won’t mean much now he’s free to discuss contracts with other clubs without them needing to negotiate transfer fees.

Depay Now

Right now, Memphis is, as mentioned, captaining Lyon and is an integral cog in their offensive unit. He had a high usage-rate at his time in Holland – meaning that his team’s possessions often ended with Memphis taking a shot – and that appears to have translated to Lyon. His shot numbers are solid as are his creative ones, according to fbref.com. He plays in a team which plays through him. Will this happen at Liverpool?

In the Liverpool Team

Jota was brought in with a view to the future. He’s a great player now, but he is pre-peak. He will get better. His versatility offers the Liverpool recruitment team a wonderful opportunity to build a front three however they want. Jota can play off either wing or through the middle. Memphis can do this too. He can play through the middle, both as a striker who is able to drop deep to retain the ball or play progressive passes and as an in-behind and box threat. He began his career as a winger, and he would be able to do similar things with the ball that he’d be able to do if he played centrally, but his orientation on the pitch will be different. In essence, he’s as flexible as Jota. Signing Memphis on a free transfer will make this move all the more appealing.
