Afim de ser mais efetivo em seus gastos, o Verdão tem expectativa de baixar em 11% o dinheiro investido com jogadores, considerando salário em carteiro, direitos de imagem e encargos tributários. O valor previsto para vendas se baseou na média das últimas três temporadas.

As metas projetadas são a chegada à semifinal do Paulista, às quartas da Copa do Brasil e da Libertadores, além de estar entre os quatro primeiros do Brasileirão. Mais uma vez, o clube ‘aposta baixo’ para que os gastos não sejam planejados na dependências de resultados expressivos. A medida é prudente e salutar ao Verdão.

O Avanti deve retomar, no mínimo, a casa dos 50 mil sócios, e o Verdão conta com retorno dos valores arrecadados com bilheteria, tomando por base os números de 2019, quando arrecadou R$ 61,3 milhões com jogos. Até outubro de 2021, o Palmeiras teve R$ 74,4 milhões de superávit, evidenciando a boa gestão financeira e sem contar com as premiações da Libertadores.

India's batting and selection in focus against upbeat England

The caravan moves to the Oval with intrigue surrounding both teams

Alan Gardner01-Sep-20214:21

VVS Laxman on how India batters can succeed in the Oval Test

Big pictureThat Headingley juju, eh? England could try to bottle it, though they can barely control it themselves. But there’s no doubting some Yorkshire magic rubbed off on Joe Root’s team during the third Test, and just in the nick of time. A dismal run of six home Tests without a victory – for precedent, you had to go all the way back to the dark ages (or 1989-90, to be specific) – came to an end in spectacular style. Now the question is whether it will be a turning point for the series or an isolated blip on the readout.The Leeds Test itself began with a significant anomaly: Virat Kohli winning the toss. Whether his call to bat was objectively any worse than Root’s decision to bowl at Lord’s (where India ended the first day on 276 for 3, remember) is academic, but India will quickly have to face up to the repercussions of 78 all out – much as they did after being blown away for 36 in Adelaide last year. Never mind that India have by and large had the edge on England in the series so far, can they push past the doubts that will now begin to crowd in. Can they ignore the whispers about how their previous two tours of England began competitively only to end in one-sided scorelines?Related

The advantage of such a hammering, perhaps, is that it can quickly be consigned to history. Root’s magnificence aside, India have two of the leading run-scorers in the series in openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, while a second-innings 91 at Headingley by Cheteshwar Pujara – albeit that it benefited from some charitable donations by England – puts him fourth. And despite Kohli’s apparent struggles, the data suggests his form is as much down to bad luck as a lack of control. When the tide turns, a deluge may follow.If India do make changes, it will likely reflect the flatter conditions expected at The Oval, as well as the usual wear and tear of a five-Test series. It is a mark of their great strength in depth that R Ashwin remains on the fringes of selection, despite being ranked the ICC’s No. 2 Test bowler in the world.1:56

Bharat Arun: ‘Unfortunate’ that Ashwin, ‘one of the best bowlers we have’, hasn’t played yet

England, nevertheless, will return south rejuvenated. After a summer in which the fates have taken a hammer to much of their careful planning around the Test side, Root and Chris Silverwood were offered a glimpse of something rising from the wreckage. James Anderson may have provided the initial spark, but thereafter it was the nagging lines and high-armed angles provided Ollie Robinson and Craig Overton that beat out a victory tattoo. England’s newly formed opening partnership put on a rare century stand, before Dawid Malan hinted at a fruitful second coming at No. 3.Although they will be without Jos Buttler, with his wife due to give birth, the return of Chris Woakes – so effective in these conditions and England’s player of the summer in 2020 – should give Root another reason to be cheerful. The Oval is often the scene of sunsets and farewells, but with the series set to conclude Manchester the week after, both teams go into this match knowing not to look too far ahead.Form guide(last five completed matches; most recent first)
England: WLDLD
India: LWDLWPlayers to watchWhere to begin with the Jonny Bairstow story? Let’s stick to recent history. Restored to the Test side in January, for the first time in more than a year, Bairstow impressed as a specialist batter without making a defining score in Sri Lanka, then ended the India tour with three ducks in four innings (having flown home for some pre-agreed rest in between). But England haven’t had enough good alternatives to definitively move on, and now, another twist has given him the gloves once again. His career average while keeping is still significantly higher (37.85 compared to 27.41) and, with Buttler’s Test future uncertain, there’s no doubt Bairstow will be aiming to prove England have done the right thing in going back to an old flame.Jonny Bairstow combines sports at England training•Getty Images

It feels like the spotlight rarely leaves Rishabh Pant. Either he is carving out history at the Gabba, or reverse-ramping Anderson over the slip cordon in Ahmedabad, or he is being questioned for his keeping (less of that these days) and shot selection. His displays against England in India earlier in the year helped the home side turn the screw ruthlessly, but an average of 17.40 in the current series (rising to 18.85 if you include the World Test Championship final) tells of his struggle in English conditions; in particular, the height and control of Robinson has caused him problems, with Pant falling to the rookie four times out of five so far. It was at The Oval in 2018 that the 20-year-old Pant announced himself, with the first hundred in England by an India wicketkeeper. A return to form on the same ground would be timely.Team newsEngland will have to change a winning team, after Buttler was omitted from the squad due to the impending arrival of his second child – Bairstow will retake the gloves for the first time since the 2019 Ashes and Ollie Pope (who averages 100.71 in first-class cricket at The Oval) looks favourite to come into the middle order ahead of Dan Lawrence. Chris Woakes is also set for a first Test appearance since August 2020, most likely as a direct replacement for Sam Curran in the allrounder spot.England (probable): 1 Rory Burns, 2 Haseeb Hameed, 3 Dawid Malan, 4 Joe Root (capt), 5 Ollie Pope, 6 Jonny Bairstow (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Craig Overton, 10 Ollie Robinson, 11 James AndersonIndia have plenty of selection posers to consider after defeat at Headingley. Kohli is keen to trust the “template” of four quicks but The Oval is perhaps the ideal ground in England on which to go with their strength and deploy two spinners, Ashwin having already turned out there once this summer for Surrey. Bharat Arun, the bowling coach, said that Ravindra Jadeja was fit despite going for a scan in Leeds, but it might be a case of either/or once again, with Shardul Thakur in contention to stiffen the batting as a fourth seamer. Ishant Sharma’s fitness was being monitored at training and he seems most likely to miss out, with Prasidh Krishna officially added to the squad as cover. Umesh Yadav could also come into contention in an effort to manage workloads.India (probable): 1 KL Rahul, 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Cheteshwar Pujara, 4 Virat Kohli (capt), 5 Ajinkya Rahane, 6 Rishabh Pant (wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja/R Ashwin, 8 Shardul Thakur/Ishant Sharma, 9 Mohammed Shami/Umesh Yadav, 10 Jasprit Bumrah, 11 Mohammed SirajPitch and conditionsNever mind the urban jungle, Kennington is usually a hospitable environment for batting’s big beasts. The last time England and India played at the ground, in 2018, Alastair Cook signed off from Test cricket with a crowd-pleasing 147, while there were also hundreds for Root, Rahul and Pant. But spin could also play a significant part, as evidenced by Surrey’s last Championship game at The Oval, back in July: Somerset, the visitors, made 429 in the first innings before being bowled out for 69 second time around, Ashwin taking 6 for 27 in a one-off county appearance. The forecast is clear for all five days, with temperatures rising over the weekend.Stats Root has moved back to No. 1 in the ICC batting rankings for the first time since 2015. With 1398 runs in 2021 so far, he needs 84 to pass Michael Vaughan’s England record for Test runs in a calendar year. Moeen Ali, named England’s vice-captain in Buttler’s absence, needs one wicket to go past Jim Laker and seven to become only the second English spinner to 200 in Tests. If he plays, Ashwin can close in on Harbhajan Singh as India’s third-highest wicket-taker – with 413, he is four wickets behind. India have not won at The Oval since their maiden Test victory in England, back in 1971. Since then, they have drawn five and lost three in south London.Quotes”Now is when the hard work really starts. We’ve got to look to go even further, dig a little deeper, and really start almost to go through the gears as the series goes on.”
“It depends on the conditions, on the wicket. Ashwin no doubt is probably one of the best bowlers we have, it’s unfortunate he hasn’t played so far. But if there is an opportunity and we feel he is going to fit into the scheme of things, they will definitely be bowling in tandem.”

Retrospectiva LANCE!: meio-campo do Corinthians teve 2021 com reforços e indefinições

MatériaMais Notícias

Apesar de ter alguns nomes cativos no time titular, o Corinthians terminou o ano de 2021 sem ter ao certo a sua formação ideal do meio-campo, que foi o setor que mais sofreu modificações ao longo desse período, tanto com Vagner Mancini, quanto com Sylvinho. Muitos nomes e variações foram utilizadas por ali, mas nenhuma se firmou e a incógnita deve ser levada para o início de 2022.

>Relembre 15 momentos marcantes de Paulinho pelo Corinthians

O setor comporta a parte defensiva e a parte ofensiva, sendo que a segunda foi ajustada no segundo semestre do ano com a chegada dos reforços como Renato Augusto e Giuliano, que se tornaram absolutos. Podemos até considerar Willian como um dos nomes que jogam por ali e também como uma peça que se garantiu como intocável, sobretudo pela qualidade. Foram eles (e Róger Guedes) os responsáveis pela mudança de patamar do time.

No primeiro semestre, antes desses reforços chegarem, a situação era mais caótica, com inúmeros testes com Cazares, Otero, Luan, Araos e Mateus Vital, que foi aquele com maior destaque. Dos nomes acima citados, apenas Luan continua no clube, mas raramente vinha saindo do banco de reservas e teve pouco espaço nos últimos meses. Ou seja, foi uma revolução no setor.

A outra parte, dos jogadores com mais característica defensiva, também não fica atrás dessa incógnita. Ao longo do ano, os seguintes nomes foram utilizados nessa função: Roni, Ramiro, Camacho, Cantillo, Gabriel, Xavier, Du Queiroz, além de Renato Augusto e Araos, que foram improvisados em algumas situações. Sete nomes para duas ou uma vaga no time titular corintiano.

Como bem é possível ver, todos eles têm características diferentes entre si. Os preferidos dos treinadores acabaram sendo Cantillo, que tem passe qualificado, mas dificuldade na marcação, e Gabriel, que tem forte marcação, mas dificuldade na construção. Quando um deles é escalado, a equipe precisou ser montada de forma a neutralizar essas deficiências e potencializar as qualidades. Mas eles também foram escalados juntos durante a temporada.

Camacho, Araos e Ramiro, por exemplo, já deixaram o clube. Roni mostrou que tem capacidade para cumprir a função e Xavier tem caminho para evoluir. No entanto, aquele que parece que vai ganhar terreno é Du Queiroz, que reúne tanto o poder de marcação quanto a saída de bola qualificada. O jovem de 21 anos conquistou espaço no fim da temporada e deve iniciar 2022 em alta.

Talvez seja esse o motivo da oscilação do time ao longo do ano. Mancini e Sylvinho não conseguiram equilibrar a intensidade da equipe no setor, muitas vezes ficando sem pegada na marcação ou sem velocidade na construção das jogadas. Sem dúvidas o meio-campo foi a maior incógnita de 2021, mesmo em comparação com o tão criticado ataque. Faltou definir quem era(m) o(s) companheiro(s) de Renato Augusto e Giuliano. Será essa a vaga para Paulinho?

Sevilla delighted with 21 y/o talent Victor Orta failed to sign for Leeds

Leeds United were frustrated on Friday evening and they may now be even more infuriated amid reports that a one-time Victor Orta target is earning glowing reviews in Spain under the now Sevilla transfer chief.

Illan Meslier howler costs Leeds three points

It seemed as though Daniel Farke’s side were set to Sunderland’s unbeaten home record and head top of the Championship as they headed into stoppage time 2-1 up on the early leaders at the Stadium of Light.

After falling a goal behind thanks to teenage talent Chris Rigg, Leeds turned it around through goals from Joel Piroe and Junior Firpo, with the Yorkshire outfit ahead just before the hour mark despite their injury issues. However, a howler from Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier ensured that it was honours even come full-time. The Frenchman took his eye off a slowly bouncing ball as it trickled towards him with almost the final kick of the game, and it inexplicably went through his grasp and into the Leeds net, sending the home fans delirious.

It was a result that leaves both the Black Cats and Daniel Farke’s side well-placed in the early Championship standings, with Leeds having lost just once so far this season, while Sunderland have lost twice but still find themselves two points clear of Leeds thanks to drawing fewer games.

With a favourable run of fixtures ahead, Leeds will be hoping to put together a strong run of form between now and Christmas to put themselves in the best position to be promoted automatically this time around, rather than risk the lottery of the playoffs, a lottery that they have never won.

Leeds missed out on young talent

Now, reports in Spain continue to speak in glowing terms about young talent Mateo Mejia, who Leeds were at one point keen to sign. During Victor Orta’s time at the club, it was believed that a deal would be done to sign the 21-year-old. However, it never transpired and instead Orta used his new position with Sevilla to lure him to Andalucia instead.

He made his debut in Sevilla’s most recent clash with Athletic Bilbao, coming off the substitutes bench after several impressive performances for the reserve side.

ByCharlie Smith Oct 4, 2024

And Spanish outlet ABC [Via Sport Witness] were full of praise for the talent, who they reveal “Leeds United wanted” but were unable to secure his signature, with exactly why the deal collapsed still a mystery.

Orta even convinced Mejia to terminate his contract with Manchester United early to move to Sevilla, something that would perhaps not have gone down so well had he swapped Old Trafford for Elland Road.

In the end, missing out on his arrival was not too damaging for Leeds, since it allowed new fan favourite Mateo Joseph to flourish in the striker role, something that may not have happened had the Colombian U-20 international arrived to challenge him for a spot in the starting XI.

CSA dismisses former acting CEO Kugandrie Govender

The new board has advertised the CEO’s position, with applications due to close on July 31

Kugandrie Govender was suspended in December 2020•Cricket South Africa

Cricket South Africa’s former acting CEO Kugandrie Govender has been dismissed with immediate effect, bringing an end to the disciplinary matters that have stretched back to December 2019. Govender was suspended in December 2020, four months after former CEO Thabang Moroe was fired over allegations of misconduct.Specifically, Govender was under scrutiny for the role she played in revoking the accreditation of journalists in December 2019, for breaches of the Companies’ Act, and her part in the dismissal of the former head of sales and sponsorships Clive Eksteen, whose sacking was ruled unfair. She was found guilty after a lengthy process which has lasted more than seven months.”The Chairperson of the Disciplinary Tribunal, Advocate Terry Motau SC, imposed a sanction of immediate dismissal, having regard inter alia to the seriousness of Ms Govender’s misconduct, the breach of trust and including the fact that a continued working relationship between Ms Govender and CSA would no longer be possible,” a CSA statement read.Related

Since Govender’s suspension, CSA has also parted ways with former chief operating officer Naasei Appiah and former finance manager Ziyanda Nkuta after previously ending their relationship with Moroe and Eksteen. Govender’s immediate predecessor, Jacques Faul, resigned from the acting CEO role to return to his post as CEO of the Titans franchise. She was succeeded by Pholetsi Moseki, who remains CSA’s acting CEO to date.However, CSA is in the process of finalising a new governance structure after a new, majority-independent board was ushered in in June. The new board has advertised the CEO’s position, with applications due to close on July 31, though no date has been set for confirming the new candidate.

الزمالك تعادل إيجابيًا مع الأهلي بهدف لمثله، على استاد القاهرة الدولي، في خضم مواجهات الجولة الخامسة عشر لبطولة الدوري.

وقال مصطفى عبده في تصريحات عبر قناة “إبراهيم فايق”: “رسالة لـ الزمالك، قدمتم مباراة جيدة جدًا وتعادل بطعم الفوز، أدى مباراة جيدة مقارنة بالظروف التي يمر بها، والتعادل بالنسبة له مكسب”.

وتابع: “لكن نأتي لجمهور الأهلي، والبعض الذي يريد أن يرحل كولر، أنا لو من الخطيب لن أتركه، كولر عنده دوري ودوري أبطال وكأس عالم، وكثيرًا ما أحرز بطولات”.

وأضاف: “كولر فرغ الفريق من نجوم كثيرين وهذا ما أحدث فارقًا معه، كان معه دكة بدلاء قوية، مثل أليو ديانج، وأنا لو مكان الإدارة لم أكن سأفرط فيه، وهذا خطأ إداري، ورحل محمد عبد المنعم، حتى وإن كان اللاعب يريد أن يرحل، كان لا يجب أن يرحل، الأهلي ليس مركز شباب، الفريق كان يحتاجه وما كان يجب أن يرحل”.

وأتم: “ورحل أحمد عبد القادر وحمدي فتحي وقندوسي، كولر فرغ الفريق من النجوم، هو مدرب عنيد ولا أعرف لماذا يُعاند ومع من؟! لدرجة أن الخطيب جلس معه قبل مباراة الإسماعيلي ليتحدث معه في هذا الأمر”.

Berrada and Ashworth to advise Ratcliffe as Man Utd eye "fantastic" manager

Pressure has significantly increased on Erik ten Hag at Manchester United in recent days, so much so they have identified a manager who could replace the Dutchman, according to a recent report.

The Red Devils put in a very disappointing and embarrassing performance against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, and that has resulted in speculation increasing over the future of Ten Hag. The Dutchman faces a defining week as trips to Porto and Aston Villa await before the next international break.

Man Utd chiefs now eyeing move for £2.3m-a-year Champions League winner

Onana has cemented his place in Man Utd’s starting XI, but the Red Devils could be about to add some fierce competition.

ByBrett Worthington Sep 30, 2024 Man Utd's next manager

Failure to secure wins against Porto and Villa could result in the end of Ten Hag’s reign at Manchester United. If that does happen, United will have to react quickly when it comes to bringing in a new manager, but according to the club’s former chief scout, Mick Brown, they may already have their replacement in mind.

Brown worked at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson, and he was key behind bringing Ruud Van Nistelrooy to the club in 2001. 23 years on, and Brown thinks Van Nistelrooy would be a “brilliant” fit to become the next manager at Old Trafford. Brown thinks the former striker should be a prime candidate to replace Ten Hag should a change occur.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has come in, and I know him; he’s a top-class person. I was instrumental in signing Ruud. I think he’d be a brilliant fit. But at the moment, he can only do what the manager instructs him to do, so we haven’t seen too much of what he’s capable of.

“They’re going to have to do something because I don’t think there’s a long list of candidates out there waiting for the job. I think they could give him the job on an interim basis and see how he goes. If he does well, they might end up appointing him to take over on a full-time basis, as there aren’t too many other options out there.”

But while some may back Van Nistelrooy to become the next United manager, it appears the club also have their eyes on some big name targets.

Ratcliffe and Man Utd could hire a "fantastic" Inzaghi

According to The Daily Star, relayed by the Daily Mail, Manchester United are considering a move for Simone Inzaghi if they decide to sack Ten Hag. Pressure is starting to seriously grow on the Dutchman, and while he remains in charge this week, it is believed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will assess the situation during the international break.

Inzaghi, who has been described as a “fantastic” coach by talent scout Jacek Kulig, has been in charge of Inter Milan since 2021, and he is now an option that is being considered by the Old Trafford hierarchy. Inzaghi has won the Serie A, the Coppa Italia twice and guided Inter to the Champions League final in 2023 during his tenure, while he also won the Coppa Italia during his time with Lazio.

The report states that Ratcliffe will seek the opinions of the Glazers, sporting director Dan Ashworth and chief executive Omar Berrada before deciding on his next move. The Italian has never managed outside of Italy, but his stock is rising very much as he continues to impress at Inter Milan.
