Goleiro Paulo Victor assina com o Grêmio até dezembro de 2019

MatériaMais Notícias

Mais um reforço para a conta. Na manhã desta quinta-feira, o goleiro Paulo Victor assinou contrato com o Grêmio até 31 de dezembro de 2019. Apesar da transferência do Flamengo, o jogador ainda terá 50% de seus direitos econômicos ligados ao Rubro Negro.

A porcentagem foi a condição que o time carioca impôs para liberar o goleiro, que rescindiu no último final de semana. Portanto, caso Paulo Victor seja vendido pelo Grêmio, metade do valor deverá ser repassado ao Flamengo.

O arqueiro deve ser apresentado nas próximas horas e chega ao elenco gaúcho como alternativa para Marcelo Grohe, que ocupa a posição como titular. Apesar de ter Léo e Bruno Grassi, a diretoria optou pela contratação de um goleiro mais experiente.

Cria da base do Flamengo, Paulo Victor também acumula passagens pelo América-RJ e Gazianterispor (TUR). Enquanto isso, o Grêmio volta a se concentrar para enfrentar o próprio time carioca na noite desta quinta-feira. A bola rola às 19h30 na Ilha do Urubu, em partida válida pela 13ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Adams reveals Southampton job offer

Tony Adams has made a surprising claim about a conversation he had with Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl… 

What’s the talk?

Arsenal legend Tony Adams has revealed that he was offered the chance to become Ralph Hasenhuttl’s assistant at Southampton when Danny Rohl left in 2019.

Adams did not go into detail about why the move ended up failing, with Kelvin Davis eventually being named as one of Hasenhuttl’s assistants.

He told Sky Sports, via The Evening Standard:

“Ralph called me a couple of years ago… I’d just had a knee operation.”His assistant had just left and he called me and asked me to give him a hand at Southampton.” Relief

Southampton fans will surely be feeling a sense of relief after reading these quotes from Adams. The appointment of Adams as assistant manager at the club could have been a major blunder, given his record as a coach throughout his career since his illustrious playing days ended

Adams managed Wycombe for 50 games in the early 2000’s and won 1.03 points per game on average. He then moved on to Southampton’s rivals Portsmouth, where he managed 0.86 points per game across 21 matches, which may have endeared him to Saints fans at the time. His best spell came as manager of Azerbaijan side FK Qabala, where he averaged 1.50 points per game across 44 matches.

His most recent spell as a head coach, however, was a disaster as he was sacked by Granada in 2017 after failing to pick up a single point from seven La Liga games. He has not had a recognised coaching or management role since his departure from the Spanish outfit.

Although he would not have come in to be the outright head coach, his appalling record as a manager suggests that he may have been a poor appointment as an assistant at St. Mary’s. His coaching methods failed to help him pick up results at several of the clubs he managed and there is nothing to suggest that his efforts would have improved Southampton’s Premier League performances.

Therefore, Hasenhuttl avoided a potential blunder by eventually opting to go with Davis ahead of Adams. Fans will be delighted that they went with an in-house appointment and did not bring Adams in.

Celtic: Devlin’s response on Dembele injury

Celtic reporter Kieran Devlin answered a question on Sunday about Karamoko Dembele and his continued Parkhead absence.

The Lowdown: Injury issues

Ange Postecoglou has been without a number of players in recent weeks, with Dembele one of the first on the injury list after going off during a pre-season game with Bristol City back in July.

The likes of Christopher Jullien, Greg Taylor, Callum McGregor, Kyogo Furuhashi, Mikey Johnston, James Forrest and Giorgos Giakoumakis have also been missing, some long-term and others short-term.

The Hoops have struggled for wins as a result, winning just two of their last seven fixtures in all competitions.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-14/” title=”Celtic updates!!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Latest: Devlin’s response

Devlin ran a Q&A on The Athletic before the Dundee United game on Sunday to talk all things Celtic.

He was asked what was going on with Dembele after his injury two months ago, to which he responded with this nine-word claim.

“Still out through injury as far as I’m aware.”

The Verdict: Worrying times

With no positive update on Dembele, it could still be a while until we see the teenager in competitive action under Postecoglou.

The Hoops boss has had to rely heavily on Jota and Liel Abada in recent weeks, so having Dembele back fit as soon as possible would only help Celtic going forward.

However, it doesn’t appear as if Dembele will be featuring anytime soon, upsetting news for both the player and Celtic as more and more players join the absentee list.

Rajasthan elections postponed to March 1

The Supreme Court has ordered that the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) elections, which were originally scheduled for February 22, be held on March 1

Cricinfo staff20-Feb-2009The Supreme Court has ordered that the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) elections, which were originally scheduled for February 22, be held on March 1. The order comes as a boost to Lalit Modi, the IPL chairman and RCA president, who had sought relief from the apex court on the issue.Modi, who was close to the previous state administration in Rajasthan, has been facing resistance at the local association from a group of dissidents ever since the government changed hands after an election last year. Local police have also lodged a series of cases against Modi over the last month on various charges, including fraud and forgery.The dissidents, meanwhile, amended the RCA’s constitution with the backing of the state administration and called for elections on February 22. The apex court, however, upheld a plea by Modi who questioned the election process as per the amended constitution and sought the court’s intervention to ensure a free and fair election. The court also appointed an independent observer to conduct the elections.”My stand gets vindicated,” Modi told reporters in Mumbai. “All the illegalities done by the other group by changing the constitution have been set aside by the Supreme Court. I’m extremely happy.”

MatériaMais Notícias

Passando por reformas, após as fortes chuvas que atingiram Pernambuco nas últimas semanas, o gramado da Ilha do Retiro deve estar apto para a partida da próxima quinta-feira, contra o Atlético-GO. Em entrevista ao site oficial do clube, a gestora de operações, Marília Bechara, informou que o gramado já foi requalificado, mas alerta que não estará tão bonito para o jogo de quinta-feira.

– O gramado não vai estar lindo, porque a grama estará com cores diferentes, mas estará em perfeitas condições para receber um jogo de futebol – garantiu a gestora.

Ainda de acordo com Marília Bechara, o trabalho no gramado vem sendo realizado diariamente entre 7h e 22h. Dessa forma, os pontos que sofreram mais danificações, tiveram todo o solo retirado para que novas placas de grama fossem colocadas no local.

– Estamos trabalhando com todas as nossas forças para deixar o gramado perfeito o mais rápido possível. Vem contribuindo para o nosso êxito o fato de as chuvas terem diminuído no Recife – finalizou.

A empresa responsável para restauração do gramado da Ilha do Retiro é a Greenleaf Gramados. O contrato com o clube é válido por 12 meses e garante a manutenção do campo auxiliar. A entidade recebeu grande reconhecimento após recuperar o gramado do Maracanã e por ser responsável pelo tratamento do Camp Nou, estádio do Barcelona (ESP).

ديلي ميل: رونالدو يطالب مانشستر يونايتد بإنهاء عقده

عاد كريستيانو رونالدو إلى مانشستر يونايتد يوم الثلاثاء مع وكيل أعماله خورخي مينديز، وأبلغ النادي أنه يرغب في التخلي عن عقده من أجل تحريره في سبيل الانضمام إلى دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ورد يونايتد بأنه لا يرغب في بيعه وأكد الليلة الماضية أنه لم يطرأ تغيير على موقفهم، ولم يتلقوا أي استفسارات.

فشلت المحادثات في تغيير رأي النجم البالغ من العمر 37 عامًا بشأن رغبته في المغادرة، لكنه سيواصل العمل بطريقة احترافية.

وذكرت صحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية أن رونالدو توجه بطلب إلى إدارة مانشستر يونايتد لإنهاء عقده الحالي، حيث أنه لا يود البقاء في الأولد ترافورد لحين انتهائه.

ومن المفترض أن ينتهي عقد رونالدو الحالي في صيف 2023، وهناك بند يتيح للنادي تمديد إقامته لموسم آخر.

عاد رونالدو إلى كارينجتون يوم الثلاثاء فقط بعد أن غاب عن جميع جولات يونايتد قبل الموسم إلى تايلاند وأستراليا.

وخضع لفحوصات طبية ثم تدرب يوم الأربعاء قبل مشاهدة زملائه في مباراة ودية خلف الأبواب المغلقة ضد ريكسهام.

وسيخضع مانشستر يونايتد لمباراتين وديتين الأسبوع المقبل، الأولى يوم السبت أمام أتلتيكو مدريد، والثانية أمام رايو فاليكانو.

ويُعتقد أن توقيت المباريتين يأتي بشكل مبكر جدًا بالنسبة لعودة رونالدو للمشاركة مع الفريق، حيث أنه بدأ للتو تدريباته تحت قيادة المدرب إريك تين هاج.

وأشارت صحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية إلى أن رونالدو قد يلعب دورًا في المباراة الودية الثانية المرتقبة أمام فاليكانو.

Can't force teams to play here unless security improves – Butt

Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, Has admitted that it will be very difficult to convince any team to tour Pakistan in the immediate future following the terror-strikes which nearly claimed the lives of the Sri Lankan cricketers in Lahore on Tuesday

Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, has said it will be very difficult, following the Lahore terror strikes, to convince any team to tour Pakistan in the immediate future unless the security situation improves. He said the government, not the PCB, was answerable for the lapses that led to Tuesday’s attack but, as far as he knew, the security provided to Sri Lanka was the same as for all touring teams.”How can we force them to play in Pakistan if the security situation doesn’t improve,” Butt said. “It has earned Pakistan a bad name in the international community. It looks grim for at least six to twelve months. It was the most unfortunate thing that could have happened.”The shootout happened while the players were making their way to the Gaddafi Stadium for the third day of the second Test. Five Sri Lankan players and the assistant coach Paul Farbrace were injured when the terrorists targeted the team bus. The series – Pakistan’s first at home in 16 months – was cancelled.Asked if the security cover was sufficient, Butt said the government was answerable and not the PCB. “Nowhere in the world does the cricket board interfere in the security matters – it’s the sole responsibility of the government,” he said. “As far as I know, the security level was the same as it was in the past, when various teams toured Pakistan.”The most immediate fallout of the terror strikes is New Zealand’s decision not to tour the country for a Test series later this year. New Zealand Cricket chief executive Justin Vaughan spoke of playing at a neutral venue and Butt clarified that negotiations were yet to begin.”Let me make it clear that we have not received any information from New Zealand Cricket that the tour is called off,” Butt said. “Of course the security situation (in Pakistan) will be reassessed in due course.”He sought to play down fears Pakistan would not host its matches in the 2011 World Cup, a tournament it is scheduled to share with India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. “There are still two years left until the World Cup 2011,” he said. “We hope security improves by the time the big event comes nearer.”In the aftermath of the attacks, former captain Ramiz Raja appealed to the cricket world not to turn their backs on Pakistan at this critical moment.”Obviously Tuesday’s tragic events have pushed us back a fair bit,” Raja told . “But the entire world must realise that cricket is a way of life in Pakistan and it must not be taken away. It’s easy to take cricket events out of Pakistan in a kneejerk reaction but Pakistan needs support and with gradual improvement in security teams must play here.”They (Sri Lankans) were gracious enough to tour and during the one-day matches in January and then in the Tests I saw some banners which thanked the Sri Lankan team and it’s tragic that these events happened.”

ميدو: الأهلي سيستغنى عن 11 لاعبًا.. وثنائي مرشح للتواجد في جهاز منتخب مصر الأولمبي

قال أحمد حسام ميدو لاعب ومدرب الزمالك السابق ومقدم البرامج الرياضية الحالي، إن مهمة روي فيتوريا مع منتخب مصر تحتاج إلى ذكاء، ولاعبين جدد لا يعانون من الإجهاد.

وأضاف ميدو في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر فضائية “المحور”: “من الطبيعي أن يتملك الخوف من المدرب القادم لمنتخب مصر، المهمة ليست سهلة في ظل الإجهاد الواضح على كل اللاعبين”.

وأردف: “الخبرات أمر مهم، ولكن الوضع الحالي يحتاج إلى لاعبين لديهم طاقة واستعداد للتعلم، كما أن حازم إمام واضح وصريح وروي فيتوريا أُعجب بذلك، ومثل هؤلاء المدربين الكبار يحبون الوضوح، وفيتوريا اطمئن من فكرة عقده الممتد إلى 4 سنوات، وشعر أن هناك مشروع وخطة واضحة”.

واستطرد: “فيتوريا كان ذكيًا عندما يقول عن محمد صلاح إنه لاعب كبير طبعًا، لكن يقحم اللاعبين الآخرين في نفس الجملة، لأنه يعلم أن قوتنا في المجموعة”.

واستكمل: “طارق سليمان الأقرب للتواجد في منصب مدرب حراس المرمى بجهاز منتخب مصر الأولمبي، ووائل رياض مرشح للتواجد مع المنتخب الأولمبي أيضًا”.

وواصل: “البعض يستهزأ بعقول الناس ويشكك في نزاهة لاعبي بيراميدز بسبب أدائهم أمام الزمالك، والمختلف عن الأداء الذي واجهوا به الأهلي، هذا الكلام لا يليق”.

وتابع: “الأهلي نفسه لم يستطع الصمود أمام الزمالك، لاعبو الأحمر لم يستطيعوا مجاراة لاعبي الأبيض، إذن لا يصح أن يصدر هذا الكلام، إذا أردت حل أزمات القلعة الحمراء يجب أن تعترف بها أولًا، ولكن لا تشكك في ذمة الناس”.

وكشف: “على مسؤوليتي الشخصية، الأهلي سيستغنى عن 10 أو 11 لاعبًا، الجميع حولك يتطور ويجب أن تكون هناك خطة واضحة ومُعلنة للتعاقدات”.

وأتم: “الأهلي يحتاج إلى مدير رياضي صاحب خبرات، ممكن تفوز بقوة الدفع وتاريخك الكبير ولكن سيأتي عليك وقت وستقع، أزمة الأهلي فنية بحتة، لا يوجد فريق في العالم لا يحدث له هبوط في المستوى، لا تسمعوا كلام الخونة والهاربين، مشكلة الأهلي فنية بحتة”.

واختتم: “لا يليق أن يظهر مقدم برامج في قناة الأهلي ليشكك في نزاهة لاعبي بيراميدز ويتحدث عن رمضان صبحي، الأهلي خسر من الزمالك وكان وارد أن يخسر بخمسة أهداف في شوط واحد، واجهوا الجماهير بالحقيقة لكي تجدوا الحلول”.

Leeds United eyeing Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah

Leeds United have been name-checked as one of the Premier League clubs interested in signing Arsenal starlet Eddie Nketiah.

What’s the story?

According to journalist Ekrem Konur on Twitter, Marcelo Bielsa’s side are in the race to sign the England under-21 international, with the likes of Brentford and Aston Villa also mentioned.

He added that Nketiah wants to leave the Emirates Stadium in the January transfer window due to a lack of game-time, and is keen for more first team football elsewhere.

He loves Marcelo Bielsa

While he may only have played half a season under Bielsa – he featured just 19 times (mostly off the bench) and scored five goals for the Whites – the £13m-rated forward made a real impression at Elland Road during a loan spell in 2019/20, not least with the manager himself.

The Argentine said of the 22-year-old: “He’s a specialist great player with a lot of resources and our play is a collective way of playing and one player needs to adapt to this style.

“For this reason when we felt he was part of the team we thought that we were going to feel the same and that he would continue with us. He didn’t take this decision but he is a great player, an excellent professional and he had very good behaviour, he is a gentleman in every sense.”

Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan has also waxed lyrical about Nketiah, claiming that his style of play is very much reminiscent of Jermain Defoe.

The 46-year-old said: “He reminds me of another Jermain Defoe and look at how well he did at West Ham. He’s very much that similar sort of player. He plays off the shoulder, very dangerous in the box. He’s a player you can’t take your eyes off because his movement’s so good.”

Crucially, despite the lack of consistent game-time at Elland Road, Nketiah left Leeds clearly feeling like he learned a lot in Yorkshire, and he paid tribute to Bielsa in particular after his recall.

The striker said: “I’m grateful for my time at Leeds. Bielsa is a very demanding manager, so every day I was pushing myself to the limit in training, and I feel that mentality has stuck with me at Arsenal, to always give my all in training and in matches.

“I also learned a lot defensively off the ball with the way Leeds play, I learned a lot about the importance of pressing from the front, defending from the front and the impact it can have to the team and the way we play.

“I definitely learned a lot, I put myself out of my comfort zone which was a good thing for me, it’s made me a lot stronger mentally and has improved me as a player. I’m grateful for my time there.”

Given the recent injury to Patrick Bamford and the lack of cover up front at Leeds, a fresh move for Nketiah would surely have fans buzzing.

Meanwhile, Beren Cross has dropped a Leeds United transfer update…

Santos e Barcelona voltam a negociar data para realizar segundo amistoso

MatériaMais Notícias

Santos e Barcelona (ESP) voltaram a negociar a realização do segundo amistoso, uma das pendências da contratação de Neymar, em 2013. Os espanhóis se colocaram à disposição para jogar no Brasil no dia 8 ou 9 de agosto. A CBF, no entanto, não permitiu, pois o Peixe atuará no dia 10 contra o Atlético-PR, na Vila Belmiro, pela volta das oitavas de final da Libertadores.

Desta forma, os catalães terão que enviar a proposta com uma nova data. De acordo com o contrato da venda do atacante, o Barça pode realizar o jogo enquanto Neymar tiver contrato com o clube espanhol, ou seja, até 30 de junho de 2021.

Caso o segundo amistoso não aconteça, o Barcelona terá que pagar 4,5 milhões de euros (R$ 16,3 milhões).

Uma das cláusulas referentes ao amistoso obriga Neymar a estar em campo, assim como o time principal do Barcelona. Se o camisa 11 for vendido (segundo o blogueiro Marcelo Beckler, o atacante irá se transferir para o PSG), o jogo não acontece e os espanhóis terão que desembolsar o valor da multa.

Diferentemente da primeira tratativa, que ocorreu em abril de 2016, o Santos não quer mandar a partida na Vila Belmiro. A diretoria acredita que pode arrecadar mais se realizar o amistoso em um estádio de grande capacidade e não necessariamente no estado de São Paulo.
