Romarinho treina no CT e Abel confirma: 'É uma aposta minha'

MatériaMais Notícias

O atacante Romarinho ainda não foi oficializado como reforço do Fluminense, mas já conheceu o elenco e treinou no CT Pedro Antonio. Após ser submetido a uma avaliação física, o jogador realizou um treino individual com bola na sexta-feira. Nas redes sociais, o atleta postou uma foto com a camisa tricolor, a qual foi apagada depois por orientação da diretoria do clube das Laranjeiras.

A expectativa é que os detalhes restantes que norteiam a sua contratação do Globo-RN sejam concluídos na próxima semana, o que garantirá sua oficialização como atleta do Tricolor. O atacante será o sétimo reforço do Flu em 2017, juntando-se a Orejuela, Sornoza, Lucas, Marlon, Robinho e Richard.

O técnico Abel Braga confirmou que Romarinho é uma aposta sua, uma vez que o agradou durante o confronto entre o Fluminense e Globo-RN, na primeira fase da Copa do Brasil deste ano, e em outras partidas que foi observado. Segundo o treinador, o jogador chega para repor as várias perdas que o elenco do Tricolor sofreu durante a temporada.

-Perdemos Maranhão, Calazans, Lucas Fernandes, Osvaldo, todos os jogadores de lado. Estou repondo com Romarinho, assisti a 4 jogos. Procurei me informar com Geninho (ex-técnico do ABC, o time rival do Globo-RN no Campeonato Potiguar deste ano), é aposta minha. É jogador extremamente atrevido. Acho que faz falta isso no mercado. Cada vez a marcação é mais forte, há menos espaço. Ele é o tipo de jogador que é o Wellington Silva. Tomara que possa repetir aqui – avaliou o comandante.

Romarinho foi um dos destaques do Globo, vice-campeão potiguar e garantido na Série C-2018. O atacante é, com 24 gols em 90 jogos, o maior artilheiro da história do time fundado em 2012.

São Paulo empresta Lucão de graça a time da segunda divisão portuguesa

MatériaMais Notícias

Afastado do elenco principal do São Paulo há mais de dois meses, Lucão foi emprestado de graça para o Gil Vicente, que disputa a segunda divisão de Portugal. O zagueiro de 21 anos atuará até a metade de 2018 na equipe europeia, que bancará integralmente os seus salários.

O Tricolor acertou a negociação nesta quarta-feira. Ficou estipulado no contrato o valor de 2 milhões de euros (aproximadamente R$ 7,5 milhões) para venda e o São Paulo ainda garantiu uma participação de 20% do lucro de uma futura negociação do jogador.

Lucão está afastado do time principal desde que, em 18 de junho, na derrota por 2 a 1 para o Atlético-MG, irritou-se com as críticas por mais uma falha e avisou que estava de saída do clube. Passou os últimos dois meses trabalhando em horários diferentes do time que, hoje, está à disposição de Dorival Júnior.

Formado nas categorias de base do São Paulo, Lucão sempre foi tratado como uma das grandes promessas vindas de Cotia e esteve entre os cotados para disputar a Olimpíada de 2016. No ano passado, chegou a estar inicialmente envolvido na negociação em que o clube comprou o zagueiro Maicon do Porto, de Portugal. Mas sofre com críticas da torcida, principalmente, desde falha em derrota para o Corinthians no começo de 2016.

O zagueiro de 21 anos teve sequência como titular no começo do Campeonato Brasileiro, com Rogério Ceni no comando, mas foi afastado pela diretoria pela declaração de que “para alegria de muitos aí, já, já eu estou indo embora”. Foi multado em 20% do salário pelo que falou, além de ficar afastado.

Nesse período à procura de um novo clube, Lucão recusou oferta do Atlético-PR. Segundo seu empresário, o foco estava em uma transferência para a Europa, como a que acaba de ser concretizada – o Gil Vicente, porém, acumula duas vitórias, um empate e uma derrota e ainda não está na faixa de acesso para a elite portuguesa.

Lucão tem 92 jogos pelo São Paulo, com dois gols, e estava no time profissional desde 2013. Enquanto estava afastado, viu o zagueiro equatoriano Arboleda assumir a camisa 4 que ele usava, ratificando que não fazia mesmo mais parte dos planos são-paulinos.

O São Paulo segue tentando negociar Cícero, meia afastado recentemente do elenco principal. Ele tem treinado com o grupo que tem ainda os zagueiros Lucas Kal Hugo Gomes, o lateral-direito Lucas Farias, o volante Banguelê e o atacante Gabriel Rodrigues.

Phil Hay praises Rodrigo after crucial win

The Athletic journalist Phil Hay has praised match-winner Rodrigo’s improved performance in Leeds United’s vital 2-1 win away to Norwich City.

The Lowdown: Massive win for Leeds

The Whites faced a huge game at the bottom end of the Premier League on Sunday, but they prevailed to secure a much-needed three points.

It wasn’t a classic at Carrow Road, but goals from Raphinha and Rodrigo helped Marcelo Bielsa’s side to climb out of the relegation zone.

After the late draw at home to Wolves and now a crucial away win, the hope is that Leeds may slowly be turning a corner after a poor start to the season.

The Latest: Hay praises Rodrigo

It was Rodrigo who fired home the winner on Sunday, finding the net from distance as he bagged his second league goal of the campaign. His ball distribution was also on point, completing 24 of his 28 passes, while he also won five duels and had three shots in total (SofaScore).

Taking to Twitter after the game, Hay spoke positively about the Spaniard with the seven-word verdict of: “Rodrigo got better as that went on.”

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-united-news-22/” title=”Latest Leeds United news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Still need more from Rodrigo

It was a key contribution from Rodrigo, who now has two goals in as many league outings, but there is still a feeling that more is required from him, having been described as a ‘huge’ player by Hay in the past.

The 30-year-old is the club’s record signing but is yet to perform like it overall, with two goals in 12 appearances still a disappointing return so far this season.

With Patrick Bamford out injured, it is vital that Rodrigo continues to steps up to the plate in the coming weeks, justifying his price tag in the process. More performances like yesterday’s should help.

دارين بينت: رونالدو لا يتناسب مع أسلوب تين هاج في مانشستر يونايتد

أصر دارين بينت على أن كريستيانو رونالدو لا يتناسب مع أسلوب لعب إريك تين هاج في مانشستر يونايتد.

بعد أن لعب رونالدو 90 دقيقة في خسارة 4-0 أمام برينتفورد، أُسقط النجم البرتغالي ليحقق مانشستر يونايتد أول فوز في حقبة تين هاج بفوزه 2-1 على ليفربول في ملعب أولد ترافورد يوم الإثنين والذي شهد دخول البرتغالي في الدقيقة 86.

وتساءل بينت عن مدى ملاءمة اللاعب المخضرم البالغ من العمر 37 عامًا لنظام الضغط الشديد الذي يتمتع به الهولندي في اللعب.

وقال بينت في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية: “كان هناك لاعبون بارزون، لاعبو الوسط دافعوا جيدًا، والثلاثي الهجومي أدوا جيدًا، الكثير من الناس كانوا يتسائلون (كيف لا يمكنك لعب رونالدو في هذا الفريق؟!)”.

وأضاف: “أعتقد أنه إذا أراد تين هاج أن يلعب هذا الأسلوب المليء بالطاقة، والضغط العالي والأسلوب القوي، لسوء الحظ لا يمكنك لعب رونالدو، هذا ليس تقليلًا منه، أنت تتحدث عن أحد أعظم اللاعبين الذين رأيتهم على الإطلاق”.

وواصل لاعب توتنهام السابق: “لكن بالنظر إلى هذا النظام، فإن رونالدو يبلغ من العمر 37 عامًا، انظروا إلى طاقة إيلانجا، راشفورد، عندما يكون الأخير في أفضل حالاته، 

وأكد: “أفضل صفات راشفورد هي سرعته، عندما يبدأ في الركض بانتظام، فإنه يسبب كوابيس للمدافعين، بالنسبة لهدفه ضد ليفربول، يمكنك رؤية طريقة إنهاء الهجمة بشكل رائع، الهدوء، هذا هو الوقت الذي كان فيه في أفضل حالاته”.

Martin returns home to Canterbury

Chris Martin has announced he will return to Canterbury next season after spending the past four summers at Auckland

Chris Martin has announced he will return to Canterbury for the 2009-10 season after spending the past four summers at Auckland. Martin said the move was so he and his wife, who is expecting their first child, could be closer to their family in Christchurch.”I’ve played some of my best cricket in Auckland, so it’s been a really enjoyable experience,” Martin told . “I’ll definitely leave with a whole bunch of new friends that I’ll keep in touch with.”Martin started his first-class career with Canterbury more than a decade ago but switched to Auckland ahead of the 2005-06 season. He will share the new ball with Shane Bond but there are few other familiar faces remaining at Canterbury from his previous time there.”Canterbury are a very young side – I think there are only two players that I’ve played with before,” he said. “But I’m looking forward to working with [coach] Bob Carter and I’m keen to contribute what I can as a senior player with the younger guys in the squad.”The Auckland Cricket chief executive Andrew Eade said he respected Martin’s wish to put his family first. “It is always hard to lose a player of his experience and ability,” Eade said, “but the opportunity is now there for some of our younger players to step up and establish themselves.”

Alasdair Gold: Conte may need to drop Moura

Antonio Conte may need to take Lucas Moura out of the team, football.london’s Alasdair Gold has claimed.

The lowdown

The Brazilian has started both matches since the 52-year-old took over from Nuno Espirito Santo last week. He scored in the 3-2 Europa Conference League win over Vitesse, but his impact was limited in Sunday’s goalless draw away to Everton.

In his 71 minutes on the pitch before being replaced by Giovani Lo Celso, he only attempted one shot, which was blocked, and created just one chance. Overall, he lost five of his nine ground duels against the Toffees (via SofaScore).

Former Spurs keeper Paul Robinson has recently hailed the application of the £80,000-per-week forward, insisting that he always gives ‘150%’.

The latest

Writing for football.london, Gold has identified a ‘problem’ with the shape used at Goodison Park, which relies on wing-backs to provide width. He said that it forces Son Heung-min and the opposite winger ‘into a congested area’ with Harry Kane.

As an alternative, the journalist suggested that Conte could switch to a front two of Son and Kane with a central playmaker in behind them.

“It would be harsh on Lucas, who is one the most determined and energetic players in the Spurs side, capable of creating attacking situations out of nothing,” Gold wrote.

“However, the Brazilian’s decision-making also lets him down during passing moves and against Everton, Tottenham’s moves sometimes floundered at his feet.”

He later added: “With Conte’s admiration for Skipp already in place and Hojbjerg being a leader in the team and a key figure, Lucas could end up being the fall guy and revert to being an impact sub and rotational starter as the games come thick and fast.”

The verdict

Could Lucas possibly find joy in another role? The Athletic’s Charlie Eccleshare suggested last week that he could potentially slot in at wing-back, just as Victor Moses did during Conte’s spell at Chelsea.

Eccleshare wrote that giving Lucas the space to ‘build up a head of steam’ could be a ‘frightening proposition’ for defenders if he doesn’t appear a perfect fit for the position. He could probably operate as part of a front two as well, given that he’s been used as a centre forward or second striker 61 times over the course of his career.

Therefore, while Gold’s reservations are understandable, there is enough to suggest that the 28-year-old might not need to be hastily jettisoned from Conte’s starting line-up.

South Africa on song, New Zealand flounder

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

Cricinfo staff26-Jul-2009
Scorecard
South Africa Emerging Players picked up their fifth win on the trot beating India Emerging Players at the Albury Oval in Brisbane. Ajinkya Rahane’s classy 92 for India went in vain as South Africa overhauled a stiff target with nine balls to spare. Stiaan van Zyl, Vaughn van Jaarsveld and Farhaan Behardien contributed vital half-centuries to ensure that South Africa’s unbeaten record stayed intact.After being put in, India were off to a solid start as Rahane and Naman Ojha put on a century stand. Captain S Badrinath chipped in with a useful 44, and allrounder Abhishek Nayar gave the innings some late impetus with a quickfire 42 from 27 balls. Medium-pacer Basheeru-Deen Walters picked up three crucial middle-order wickets for 50 runs to emerge as the most successful South African bowler.India were in with a shout after they had reduced South Africa to 2 for 56, but an 82-run third-wicket stand between van Zyl and captain van Jaarsveld turned the match South Africa’s way. The fifth-wicket partnership of 54 between van Zyl and Behardien then effectively shut the door on India. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of Indian bowlers with 3 for 39.South Africa remain at the top of the points table with 10 points, while India are in third place with two victories in five matches. India lost out for a second time against the same opponents, following their 10-run defeat on the second day of the tournament.
Scorecard
Despite the presence of internationals such as Tim Southee, Peter Fulton and Martin Guptill, New Zealand Emerging Players slumped to their fifth consecutive defeat in Brisbane. Chasing 218, Australian Institute of Sports were heading for an overwhelming win, as they had when the teams met five days ago, but a middle-order collapse trimmed the margin of victory.After opting to field, AIS didn’t allow any New Zealand partnership to flourish; the highest stand of the innings was 37 for the third wicket between captain Peter Fulton and Kane Williamson. Fulton top scored with 60, wicketkeeper Reece Young posted 41 but none of the others crossed 25, which meant New Zealand finished with an insufficient 217.The AIS openers Matthew Wade and Tom Cooper gave the chase a cracking start, putting on 94 in 14 overs. They fell within 12 runs of each other but AIS, guided by Steven Smith, continued to score freely, reaching 3 for 155 in the 28th over. Three wickets went down for seven runs to give New Zealand a sniff but Smith remained unbeaten to shepherd the home side to a win with more than ten overs to spare.

Dudu esquece 'espetáculo', e Cuca vê grande atuação do Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

Dudu não se preocupou com a atuação do Palmeiras contra o Coritiba. Para o capitão, o time fez o que precisava: venceu e aproximou-se dos líderes da competição. Agora, o quarto colocado está a três pontos do Grêmio, o vice-líder, e a um do Santos, o terceiro. Para Cuca, o Verdão fez um “grande jogo” nessa segunda.

– Não precisamos fazer grandes jogos, só vencer. A torcida quer que a gente vença. Deixa para outras equipes darem espetáculo. Faremos máximo possível de pontos para ir à Libertadores direto ou até buscar o título – analisou o camisa 7.

– Tenho certeza que o Palmeiras fez um grande jogo. Estas partidas são perigosíssimas, contra um time fechado, que busca a velocidade dos lados e sem cuidado você no contra-ataque que cede sai atrás e fica muito mais difícil. Penso que uma equipe com 20 conclusões a gol, cinco, seis, sete claríssimas, contra duas ou três do adversário é uma equipe que jogou bem, que poderia ter feito 2 a 0, 3 a 0 e um grande jogo. Mesmo com 1 a 0 correu-se poucos riscos, estava controlado e em alguns momentos a gente poderia ter cadenciado mais, mas os contra-ataques abriram muito, e pecamos na escolha final, ou então poderíamos ter um jogo com mais tranquilidade. Está ótimo. Foi um jogo bem jogado – acrescentou o treinador.

Em relação à equipe dos jogos contra São Paulo e Atlético-MG, a principal novidade foi a escalação de Keno na vaga de Guerra, que nem entrou no decorrer da partida. A decisão do técnico foi baseada no rival, considerando que era mais importante a velocidade para abrir espaços contra uma equipe fechada.

– Hoje você tem uma formação que se entra com dois volantes e o Guerra de meia, o Coritiba vai neutralizar, porque joga encaixado. Quando usa um jogador que pode fazer função dupla, você consegue criar um círculo de jogadas maior de criação do que ter propriamente o meia. O Jean nos deu isso e foi premiado com o gol – explicou.

Com 40 pontos, o Palmeiras voltou ao quarto lugar do Campeonato Brasileiro e segue a 13 pontos do líder Corinthians. No domingo, o time enfrenta o Fluminense, no Maracanã, pela 25ª rodada.
