Já garantida para disputar a Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro, a Chapecoense tem outros objetivos para o time. Depois do empate com o Atlético-GO, o treinador Gilson Kleina fez questão de exaltar as possibilidades de classificação na Copa Sul-Americana e, quem sabe, pré-Libertadores. O técnico ressaltou que a equipe de Chapecó vai se preparar para enfrentar o Bahia em busca dos novos objetivos.

– Primeiro objetivo foi alcançado. Quando cheguei, coloquei uma missão de buscar a Sul-Americana, e a rodada também faz gerar uma expectativa de Libertadores, claro que depende do Flamengo ser campeão, do Grêmio, mas é uma realidade, isso pode virar G-9. Mas essa semana vamos trabalhar com os jogadores mais descansados, temos o Bahia, que perdeu a rodada e também quer essa vaga. Ter uma equipe competitiva e inteligente lá na Fonte Nova para, quem sabe, fazer nossa final contra o Coritiba em casa, conseguindo uma grande vaga, se tudo correr bem – afirmou Gilson Kleina.

O treinador disse estar orgulhoso da equipe e enfatizou a importância da campanha feita pela Chape na competição.

– A possibilidade é uma valorização do trabalho de todos. Ninguém chega sozinho. A reconstrução da equipe foi árdua, para todos. Faltando duas rodadas e podendo brigar por Sul-Americana e Libertadores, é um feito. A gente vê grandes equipes buscando permanência e que tem investimento bem maior. Isso prova organização, inteligência da diretoria, que realmente se consolidou, fez uma equipe tentando o melhor. Oscilou como todos, teve dificuldade, mas soube sanar. Para mim é orgulho, fazer o primeiro trabalho na Chape, com permanência, essa campanha na elite é de fundamental importância para dar salto no ano que vem – destacou o técnico.

Gilson Kleina também comentou sobre o desgaste físico dos jogadores e sobre o próximo confronto com o Bahia:

– Agora quero conversar com a fisiologia, eles têm um protocolo interessante de recuperar os atletas. Em sete dias fizemos três jogos, então temos que recuperar bem os atletas. Vamos ver em breve o desgaste dos jogadores, não podemos mudar muito, senão perdemos o encaixe, e agora vamos ter que ver como vamos montar o time durante a semana. Temos que ser envolvente, não será apenas transição como foi aqui, mas muito consciente na recuperação dos atletas para, quem sabe, terça de tarde ou quarta de manhã começar a montar a equipe.

Many Wolves fans have been left buzzing over the latest news involving Dion Sanderson.

As per the official website of the Molineux faithful, they have now recalled the central defender back from his loan spell at Birmingham City.

He has certainly done well there, ranking highly among his teammates in terms of average interceptions, clearances and blocks per game in the Championship this season (WhoScored).

With Romain Saiss now representing Morocco at the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), and both Willy Boly and Yerson Mosquera remaining injured, Sanderson will now give Bruno Lage another handy option for the rest of the term.

At 22 years of age, the Englishman still ha so much potential to fulfil, and it seems fans are extremely excited he will get the chance to continue that development with his parent club.

Wolves fans on Sanderson news

These supporters of the Midlands club were left buzzing as the news on Sanderson was shared on Twitter, with one WWFC supporter hailing the club’s decision to recall the defender as ‘excellent’:

“Excellent. Needs to work on not pulling shirts but he’s got the potential to be a fantastic Wolves player.”

Iain O’Brien has said he and the rest of New Zealand’s bowling attack are “pretty sore but very happy” a day after winning the Dunedin Test

Cricinfo staff29-Nov-2009

Iain O’Brien has said he and the rest of New Zealand’s bowling attack are “pretty sore but very happy” a day after dismissing Pakistan during a tense run-chase in Dunedin to take a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series.New Zealand went into the first match with a four-man bowling attack and, because part-timer Grant Elliott was unable to bowl because of a niggle, Shane Bond, Chris Martin, O’Brien and Daniel Vettori had to bear the increased workload.O’Brien’s performance was ordinary for the majority of the game. He had the tough job of bowling into the wind and, after a testing first spell in Pakistan’s first innings, he struggled to contain the batsmen and conceded 98 runs in 23 wicket-less overs. In the second, O’Brien toiled for 16 overs for figures of 52 for 1 before his day got worse.In the final session on the fifth day, an airy but fierce drive from Umar Akmal struck him on his finger during his follow through and dislocated it. O’Brien was in visible pain – Daniel Vettori said he saw his bowler’s eyes well up – but he was ready to bowl after getting the digit straightened by the physio.”There was no way Dan was getting the ball out of my hand at that stage,” O’Brien told . “I wanted to bowl. I wanted to be part of a Test win and to do something to change the game.”Fighting pain, O’Brien ran in and trapped Kamran Akmal lbw – a moment that Vettori said was when New Zealand started to believe they were going to win – before dismissing Umar Gul as well. He finished with figures of 3 for 63 and later said he was under pressure going into the final innings of the match.”If I didn’t come out and bowl yesterday, well that could have been me done for a while, if not for a long time,” O’Brien said. “To go out and bowl well yesterday and play a part in a Test win is pretty good. It makes me feel better about my job and role in the team.” O’Brien will have his finger assessed on Monday.O’Brien, however, was not the only one bowling in discomfort on Saturday. Bond, who was making his Test comeback, had an injured big toe and yet he finished with eight wickets, a performance that won him the Man-of-the-Match award. Bond said his toe was sore but it would be okay.

Everton have been dropping in and out of form this season, and finding that creative midfielder to score goals and create chances has surely become a top priority for Rafa Benitez.

James Rodriguez’s exit has seen the side lack attacking presence in midfield, and Rafa will be keen to rectify that issue in the upcoming winter transfer window, with a signing that can make an instant positive impact on both Everton’s Premier League campaign and tight challenge for a European spot.

What’s the word?

A number of sources, including Calciomercato, have linked ex-Arsenal and current Juventus player, Aaron Ramsey, to an Everton move in January, stating the club has an “excellent relationship” with the Serie A winner.

Ramsey has failed to be part of the bigger picture at Juventus for Allegri, with Fabrizio Romano taking to Twitter to confirm that the club were keen to move the Welsh international on.

The Italian journalist wrote: “Juventus are still planning to find a solution to sell Aaron Ramsey in January. He’s out of the plans and looking for a potential new challenge.”

There doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer as to why Allegri doesn’t utilise the experienced midfielder in his successful Italian side, but if the reports are anything to go by, both Juventus and Ramsey would be keen to seal a deal in January to benefit both parties.

It remains to be seen how much Ramsey might command in terms of transfer fees, though Transfermarkt currently value the 69-cap midfielder at just £9m.

Sign him up!

Ramsey would be a fantastic addition to the blue side of Merseyside if his experience is anything to go by, with three FA Cups and a Serie A title, to name a few of his accomplishments.

He also offers huge amounts of European experience, in both the Champions League and Europa League for his previous Premier League club, Arsenal, featured which will surely be advantageous for Rafa Benitez, whose obvious goal will be to secure European football for the Toffees this season.

The Welshman provided 65 goals and 65 assists in over a total of 371 matches in north London, in which he recorded a career-best of 13 goals and ten assists during the 2013/14 campaign, as per Transfermarkt. That suggests that, on his day, he is a goal threat from midfield and one that could help fill the void left behind by Rodriguez.

Of those 370 matches, 63 were in a European competition.

He has regularly been compared to the likes of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, two players renowned for their influence in the heart of the pitch and in the final third.

BT Sport pundit Martin Keown, who was once a colossus for the Gunners, also once described him as a “great leader” and an “outstanding technician” – a glowing endorsement that only bolsters reasoning to sign him this January.

As a proven winner and a proven Premier League player, the 30-year-old could help to inject a winning mentality into the current side to push them on in both domestic competition and when challenging for European spots in the Premier League over the second half of the season.

Therefore, director of football Marcel Brands must push ahead with plans to seal the Wales international this winter.

It was groundhog day for Andrew Strauss. Another far from daunting one-day chase was scuppered as England’s top order handed their wickets to Australia and this time there was no lower-order rally to get the scoreline close

Andrew McGlashan at Lord's06-Sep-2009

It was groundhog day for Andrew Strauss. Another far-from-daunting one-day chase was scuppered as England’s top-order handed their wickets to Australia and this time there was no lower-order rally to get the scoreline close. This was a weaker display than on Friday at The Oval, as the home side fell from 74 without loss to lose all 10 wickets for 136, leaving Strauss to admit it wasn’t good enough.”Being 70-odd for nought we were in a great position to really come home quite comfortably but to a certain extent we were the architects of our own downfall,” he said. “Three reasonably soft wickets in a short space of time and suddenly we’re in that situation where you’re asking the bowlers to score runs for you, which is not really what we want to be doing.”Strauss admitted he was one of the culpable batsmen, chipping a return catch to Nathan Hauritz for 47, and there was also the mix-up between Paul Collingwood and Owais Shah, although he played down the significance of Shah’s latest run out. “Yes definitely. It was needless really, that’s disappointing,” he said of his own dismissal. “From being in such a strong position it’s disappointing to suddenly be down four wickets a couple of overs later, good sides won’t do that very often.””At the start of an innings sometimes he [Shah] can be nervy and maybe that leads to those sort of things but once he’s in, he’s fine. I don’t think it’s something we really need to target with him, but it’s generally not something we’re looking for as a batting unit.”England have had one half-century so far in the series – Collingwood reaching 56 as he tried to marshal the run chase at Lord’s – but Matt Prior is the only one of the top six to fall in single figures. A lack of significant scores has long been a problem in England’s one-day performances (and Kevin Pietersen’s absence has removed one of the few with a reputation of getting hundreds) leaving them struggling to stay in the series.”Everyone’s got a start in the two games but no one’s gone on so I don’t think it’s a lack of confidence,” Strauss said. “Maybe we just haven’t been smart enough in what our percentage shots are and we’ve just been a little bit soft in our dismissals. I firmly believe your top six have got to score the bulk of your runs in one-day cricket and we haven’t done that for the last couple of games.”When Collingwood fell to seal the defeat, England were just two overs into their batting Powerplay having delayed taking it as wickets were lost. Both sides have opted to take their five overs late in the innings, but while it worked for Australia as Mitchell Johnson cut loose, England were nine-down when theirs was finally signalled.”You want to take it at a time where you’ve got freedom to go out and play and not worry too much about losing wickets,” Strauss said. “So in my view it’s got to be in the latter half of the game, but when you lose a lot of wickets early it generally gets pushed further and further back. That’s not ideal really. You don’t want to necessarily be taking the last five overs but we were kind of forced into that given that we lost wickets at regular intervals.”The other significant talking point was the omission of Adil Rashid following his impressive performance with bat and ball at The Oval. The withdrawal of Stuart Broad with a neck injury left England concerned about their batting line-up so Eoin Morgan was drafted into the middle order.”It was not an ideal situation to be in because he bowled so well and he showed so many encouraging signs,” Strauss admitted. “To a certain extent we were slightly hamstrung by the fact that Stuart wasn’t fit and our batting was probably a bit weaker.”And we didn’t actually think it was going to turn very much. It probably turned more than we thought it was going to. But the seamers did a good job, our bowlers did a very good job, 249 was very chaseable and I thought it was a very flat wicket. To be honest, the batsmen have got to hold up their hands and say we weren’t good enough.” We’ve heard that somewhere before.

قرر نادي ليفربول إعارة أحد مدافعيه إلى نادي شالكه الألماني، حيث أعلن الريدز ذلك في بيان رسمي، أصدره قبل قليل، مع تبقي 48 ساعة على نهاية نافذة الانتقالات الصيفية.

وتنتهي سوق الانتقالات الصيفية في الدوريات الخمس الأوروبية الكبرى، في الساعات الأولى من صباح الأول من سبتمبر.

وقال ليفربول في بيانه إن النادي الإنجليزي توصل إلى اتفاق مع شالكه على إعارة مدافعه الهولندي الشاب، سيب فان دن بيرغ حتى نهاية موسم 2022/23 الجاري.

وأوضح ليفربول في بيانه أنّ فان دن بيرج وقع عقدًا جديدًا طويل الأمد مع الريدز، قبل الاتفاق على الإعارة الثانية في مسيرته.

دن بيرج صاحب الـ”20″ عامًا، كان قد انضم إلى ليفربول قادمًا من زفوله الهولندي في 2019 مقابل 4.4 مليون جنيه إسترليني، وفضل الريدز، على بايرن ميونخ الألماني وايندهوفن.

وسبق وأنّ تمت إعارة دن بيرج والذي يعتبره الكثيرون خليفة مواطنه فيرجيل فان دايك في “آنفيلد” إلى نادي بريسون وذلك في شتاء 2021.

Sepp van den Berg has signed a new long-term contract with the club and completed a loan move to @s04 for the rest of the 2022-23 season.

Best of luck, Sepp 🙌 — Liverpool FC (@LFC) August 30, 2022

Even though Liverpool currently have a hefty number of central-midfielders in their senior squad at the moment, some of them, such as Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson and James Milner have all hit or gone past the age of 30.

One player that the club currently have in their youth system that we feel could well go on to be a suitable replacement for one of those previously mentioned senior midfielders is 18-year-old Tyler Morton.

As a product of Liverpool’s youth academy, Morton, who is currently valued at £270k according to Transfermarkt, has made 23 appearances for Liverpool’s U18 side in which he has managed to score six goals and provide seven assists in the process.

Morton has also made 24 appearances for Liverpool’s U23 side, scoring five times and supplying four assists along the way, proving himself as a rather useful attacking option from midfield.

The midfielder made his senior debut for Liverpool during their 3-0 win over Norwich City in the Carabao Cup last month in which Reds manager Jurgen Klopp said Morton put in a “confident” performance in his first senior outing for the Merseyside club.

Opening up on the midfield general, the German boss explained: “Tyler, really, he gave us the opportunity to connect again, because he just played simple, passed the ball in the right spaces, defended the right spaces.”

In addition to this, Morton was given an overall match rating of 7/10 for his performance against Norwich from the Liverpool Echo who said that he “slotted into the defensive midfield role impressively” after replacing Naby Keita.

The teenager has managed to rack up an average of three key passes per game based on the two performances he’s put in for Liverpool’s U23 side in the Football League Trophy this season, which is considerably more than Henderson (1.1 key passes per game) has done in the Premier League so far this season.

We feel that if Morton continues to play well for the youth team and take any opportunity that comes his way to play in Klopp’s side, such as their upcoming Carabao Cup clash against Preston North End later this month, then he could well see himself as a possible regular first-team player in the next few years, in the same way Curtis Jones has done.

Looking ahead to the future further down the line, even though he signed a new deal over the summer, we could see Morton potentially being a long-term replacement for Henderson if he ends up leaving when his current deal expires given his age.

Like the skipper, he is defensively astute and capable of carrying the ball forward. He’s certainly one to watch.

The previous summer window saw a number of incoming and outgoing transfer deals taking place with the likes of Danny Ings, Mario Lemina, Jannik Vestergaard and Ryan Bertrand, among others, leaving the club in a mass exodus.

Meanwhile, the likes of Adam Armstrong, Romain Perraud and Lyanco, among others, made the move to St. Mary’s.

One player that made a permanent transfer to Southampton in the summer that the club hit the jackpot with is 18-year-old right-back Valentino Livramento.

Since joining the Saints for £5m from fellow Premier League side Chelsea, a side who did everything they could to keep hold of him in the summer according to Thomas Tuchel, the teenager has played the full 90 minutes in all of Southampton’s Premier League games so far this season apart from their 0-0 draw against Manchester City where he was taken off after 86 minutes after picking up a yellow card just two minutes earlier.

Livramento has also managed to score one goal and provide one assist in that time, proving to be an exceptional threat in offensive areas.

This shows just how important Livramento, who is currently valued at £10.8m according to Transfermarkt, has made himself for the Saints and how much Ralph Hasenhuttl rates him at such a young age.

The manager labelled the full-back back in August as a “fantastic young player”, and the fact that he is currently rated as Southampton’s second highest-rated player with an overall season rating of 7.02/10, according to WhoScored, further highlights what a great bit of business it was from the club to sign him.

However, with Livramento revealing last month that he would not rule out a potential move back to Chelsea in the future, an understandable admission given how he’s a product of their youth academy, we feel that it should be Southampton’s long term priority to keep him on the south coast for as long as possible.

His current contract isn’t set to expire until 2026 but given the talent he’s already shown in his short time at St. Mary’s and the fact that he has a lot of potential within him to develop and grow, it would be somewhat of a disaster to lose him.

While it may still be early days in his time at Southampton, it would be nothing short of a catastrophe for the club if they end up losing such a talented player before his current contract runs out.

He has proven to be an exciting addition to the Saints ranks and he could well be the difference between beating the drop next May.

O treino do Botafogo desta sexta-feira foi fechado à imprensa, mas é fato que o time que vai enfrentar o Cruzeiro, neste domingo, estará bastante modificado. Quase todos os titulares serão poupados, mas um o técnico Jair Ventura garantiu que prossegue entre os 11 iniciais.

– O Jefferson segue fora, no departamento médico. O Gatito continua – resumiu o técnico, lembrando do edema na coxa esquerda do ex-Seleção Brasileira.

Será a chance de alguns jogadores, como Marcos Vinícius e Valencia, além de mostrarem serviço ao treinador, ganharem mais ritmo de jogo. O chileno, por exemplo, estreou contra o Palmeiras, na última quarta-feira, mas não atuava desde o dia 2 de julho.

Jair entende que ganhou dois jogadores para a criação. Para a função de extremo, no entanto, ele não acredita que poderá, no curto prazo, utilizar dois dos reforços mais recentes.

– Não seria muito a característica deles. O Marcos já fez assim no Cruzeiro, mas não está no ápice físico. Jogar pelo lado requer muta aptidão física. O Leo é mais forte, mas conheço pouco o que ele pode me proporcionar. Requer tempo. Volto a questão do tempo, para ver característica. A gente conhece o jogador quando trabalha – finalizou.
