Bahia rescinde contrato com o meia Warley

MatériaMais Notícias

Durou muito pouco a passagem do meia Warley no Bahia. Contratado no início da Série B, o jogador disputou apenas dois jogos com o time de Salvador e sofreu com lesões.

Sem espaço com Enderson Moreira, a solução entre as partes foi quebrar o vinculo, que iria até dezembro deste ano.

Antes de chegar ao Bahia, Warley estava no XV de Piracicaba e foi alvo de disputa entre o Bahia e Ponte Preta.

Veja o comunicado do Bahia:

O Esporte Clube Bahia comunica que o meio-campista Warley não faz mais parte do elenco azul, vermelho e branco.

As partes acertaram a rescisão do contrato, que se encerraria em novembro deste ano, em comum acordo.

O jogador chegou ao Tricolor em abril de 2022.

O Esquadrão agradece os serviços prestados e deseja boa sorte no prosseguimento de sua carreira”.

حكم الأزمات يدير مباراة ريال مدريد وباريس سان جيرمان في كأس العالم للأندية

أعلن الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم، رسميًا، طاقم تحكيم مباراة ريال مدريد وباريس سان جيرمان في نصف نهائي كأس العالم للأندية، المقررة يوم الأربعاء في الولايات المتحدة.

ويعود سيمون مارشينياك، الذي يُعد من أبرز حكام العالم، مجددًا لإدارة مباريات ريال مدريد، بعد أيام فقط من قيادته لقاءهم أمام يوفنتوس في دور الـ16 من نفس البطولة، والذي حسمه ريال مدريد بهدف نظيف.

ويحمل تعيين مارشينياك طابعًا مثيرًا للجدل، إذ إنه الحكم ذاته الذي أدار ركلات الترجيح الشهيرة ضد أتلتيكو مدريد في دوري أبطال أوروبا الماضي، حين ألغى ركلة جزاء مثيرة لصالح جوليان ألفاريز.

مارشينياك بات على موعد مع ثاني مباراة له مع ريال مدريد منذ ذلك الجدل، ما يفتح الباب أمام مراقبة جماهيرية حذرة وتحفز إعلامي لمراقبة قراراته في اللقاء المرتقب ضد باريس سان جيرمان.

حكم القمة النارية أدار 11 مباراة لريال مدريد سابقًا، حقق خلالها الملكي 6 انتصارات وتعادلين، مقابل 3 هزائم، آخرها كانت أمام بايرن ميونخ في نصف نهائي دوري الأبطال الموسم قبل الماضي.

أما بالنسبة لنادي باريس سان جيرمان، فقد أدار مارشينياك 7 مواجهات سابقة، انتهت بـ4 انتصارات وتعادل وخسارتين، وكان آخرها الفوز الكبير على مانشستر سيتي 4-2 في دور المجموعات في الموسم الماضي.

اللافت أن الحكم البولندي أدار أيضًا مباراة إنتر ميامي ضد بالميراس في دور المجموعات، ليصل إلى ثالث ظهور تحكيمي له في هذه النسخة من كأس العالم للأندية.

كل الأنظار الآن تتجه إلى ملعب نصف النهائي، حيث يقود مارشينياك مباراة قد تكون حاسمة في تتويج بطل جديد، وسط ترقب لمواجهة نارية بين كتيبة عثمان ديمبلي وكتيبة كيليان مبابي.

Matthew Fisher, Ben Coad put Sussex under pressure

New-ball duo help Yorkshire make most of only 42 overs possible on rainy day at Headingley

New-ball duo Matthew Fisher and Ben Coad helped Yorkshire make the absolute most of only 42 overs of play possible on a rainy day one at Headingley as they restricted promotion-chasing Sussex to 120 for 6.Sussex, third in Division Two with eight draws and a win, are one of only two unbeaten sides in either division of the LV= Insurance County Championship this season – Glamorgan the other.But they were put under intense early pressure after surprisingly electing to bat first under a cloudy sky and on a green-tinged pitch.Seamers Fisher and Coad shone with 4 for 53 from 13 overs and 2 for 10 from 12 respectively during a day including a pair of two-hour plus rain delays.After electing to bat, Sussex captain Tom Alsop top-scored with 35, while 54 overs were not bowled.One of Yorkshire’s major issues over the past season-and-a-half of four-day cricket – they were relegated last September – has been the lack of matches Coad and Fisher have played. With them fit and firing, the county look a completely different proposition.Yorkshire have only won twice since the start of 2022, and this is only Coad’s 11th Championship appearance and Fisher’s ninth in that time. They have only played together on six occasions in that period but complement each other superbly.While Coad is not blessed with the pace that Fisher has, he will find any ounce of help off the pitch or through the air to trouble batters – and that’s exactly what they did.An all-Tom opening partnership of Clark and Haines was removed as Sussex slipped to 18 for 3 inside six overs, including Fisher’s wickets with successive deliveries.Coad made the initial breakthrough by getting Clark caught at second slip by Adam Lyth, leaving the score at 6 for 1 in the third over.England fringe quick Fisher then had the other left-handed opener Haines caught behind by Jonny Tattersall before bowling James Coles first ball. He played expansively at an in-ducker, leaving the Hove county 18 for 3 in the sixth over.A two-and-a-quarter-hour rain delay, including lunch, then came from 11.55am before Coad and Fisher struck once more apiece prior to the rain returning at 3.20pm, resulting in another two-and-a-half-hour break.Coad forced Oli Carter to inside-edge a drive onto his stumps before Danial Ibrahim feathered a forward defensive shot against Fisher behind as the score fell to 57 for 5 in the 25th over.Sussex captain Alsop batted with a decent slice of fortune in his 96-ball 35, which came to an end late in the day when he edged Fisher shoulder-high to Ryan Rickelton at third slip.The first five of the left-hander’s six boundaries were scored behind the wicket, including his first which was inside-edged just past his off-stump off Fisher.Sussex were at least boosted late in the day by Fynn Hudson-Prentice and Australian overseas seamer Nathan McAndrew, who shared an unbroken 44 for the seventh wicket.Hudson-Prentice looked the most assured Sussex batter on show with 29 not out and McAndrew was strong on the pull and cut in hitting six boundaries in an unbeaten 25.

Hammond's unbeaten 109 leads Gloucestershire into semi-finals

Hundred returnee makes light work of Lancashire to set up Leicestershire clash

ECB Reporters Network25-Aug-2023

Miles Hammond blazed his way to a breathtaking maiden List-A century as Gloucestershire trounced Lancashire by eight wickets at Bristol to secure a place in the semi-finals of the Metro Bank One Day Cup.Chasing a modest 178 for victory, the home side reached their target with 25.1 overs to spare thanks to a hard-hitting 109 not out from Hammond, who shared in a match-winning stand of 125 with Ollie Price in a one-sided play-off contest.Lancashire’s bowlers simply had no answer as Hammond helped himself to six sixes and 11 fours in a whirlwind 85-ball knock, while Price contributed 39 in 43 balls to help Gloucestershire secure a last-four showdown against Leicestershire at the Grace Road next Tuesday.Hammond’s innings was made all the more remarkable because he has spent most of the last month running drinks for Birmingham Phoenix in the Hundred. He did not make an appearance for them all season, though was released to play two group games for Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire’s bowlers had earlier set-up a fifth consecutive win in the 50-over competition, dismissing the Lancashire for a wholly inadequate 177 in 44.3 overs. David Payne, Paul van Meekeren, Anwar Ali and Price all claimed two wickets.Only Tom Aspinwall offered meaningful resistance, the teenager top-scoring with a career-best 47 and adding 75 for the eighth wicket with Tom Bailey on a day Lancashire and their supporters will want to forget in a hurry.Given that rain was forecast later in the day, Keaton Jennings’ decision to bat first raised more than a few eyebrows inside the Seat Unique Stadium, and Lancashire’s captain must surely have been questioning his judgment when his side slumped to 90 for 7 inside 24 overs.Although the slow nature of a pitch used 12 days earlier for the visit of Somerset offered a degree of mitigation, there was no excusing the lax manner in which the visitors contributed to their own downfall, too many batters falling to ill-judged forcing shots when the situation demanded circumspection.

At least Jennings did not fall into that category, Lancashire’s batting talisman succumbing to an excellent delivery from Payne, who provided the Gloucestershire attack with a welcome cutting edge as he returned from Hundred duty with Welsh Fire. Soon after, George Bell nervously edged a catch behind off Tom Price and Dane Villas top-edged a pull to midwicket and fell to van Meekeren while the shine remained on the ball.Ollie Price then lured George Balderson onto the front foot and took a straightforward return catch, while George Lavelle was bowled by Anwar Ali via an inside edge before rain intervened with Lancashire teetering on 84 for 5, their prospects now heavily dependent upon opening batter Luke Wells.But Wells failed to add to his 33 runs, attempting to play Price to midwicket and being expertly stumped by James Bracey in the first over following the resumption.And worse followed when Matthew Hurst played back to van Meekeren and was pinned lbw in his crease, at which point Lancashire’s recognised batters were back in the pavilion and Aspinwall and Bailey were required to pick up the pieces. In no position to take risks, these two settled for finding the gaps and running hard between the wickets, a strategy that enabled them to at least stage a recovery of sorts.

Having surpassed his previous highest score of 22, Aspinwall hoisted Tom Price over midwicket for six in a rare show of aggression to bring up the 50 partnership. But Gloucestershire remained patient and were finally rewarded when Bailey pulled Anwar to midwicket and departed for 29.Aspinwall scored 47 in 71 balls and dominated a stand of 75 in 17.3 overs with Bailey for the eighth wicket, but fell in the next over, steering a ball from van Meekeren to point and setting off in pursuit of a risky single, only to be run out by Ollie Price.Jack Morley’s dismissal summed up Lancashire’s innings, the last man offering the meekest of return catches to Payne as Lancashire were shot out with 5.3 overs unused.Defending a modest total, Lancashire needed to take early wickets, and Bailey obliged when bowling Bracey for 12 in the fourth over with the score on 21. But any thoughts of a spirited fightback were quickly extinguished as Hammond and new batter Ollie Price set about reaffirming Gloucestershire’s dominance in a forthright stand that took the game away from Lancashire.When seam failed to muster a breakthrough, skipper Jennings turned to spin, only for Morley to be severely mauled by Hammond, who struck him for a straight six in the eleventh before plundering 16 off his next over. Hammond’s fifth four, a reverse-sweep at the expense of Wells, took him to 50 in 45 balls, and he meted out similar treatment to Balderson, who was hoisted over deep mid-wicket for six as the home side realised three figures inside 15 overs.In outstanding form, Price scored at almost a run a ball despite playing second fiddle to Hammond, who showed every intention of completing the task in hand before the predicted early evening rain could arrive. By the time Price was caught at the wicket off Bell’s offbreaks, Gloucestershire were just about home and dry.Having eclipsed his previous highest score of 95, made against Sussex in 2019, Hammond raised his hundred via 82 balls, straight driving Aspinwall for his ninth four to bring an enthusiastic Bristol crowd to its feet.

São Paulo vive mesmo cenário no Brasileirão que antecedeu a demissão de Crespo em 2021

MatériaMais Notícias

Mesmo que o foco atual do São Paulo no momento seja a decisão na Copa Sul-Americana, nesta quinta-feira, com o resultado do último duelo válido pelo Brasileirão(empate com o Cuiabá por 1 a 1),a equipe de Rogério Ceni igualou a campanha feita em 2021 – onde lutou para não ser rebaixado até as últimas rodadas.

>Lembre nove vezes que o São Paulo faturou alto com mecanismo de solidariedade da Fifa

De acordo com informações levantadas pelo ‘Anotações Tricolores’, no ano anterior, após a 25ª rodada, o São Paulo contava com a mesma quantidade de pontos atual: 30. Além disso, a campanha como um todo é praticamente idêntica. Ambas as equipes – do ano passado e deste – contavam com doze empates, sete derrotas e apenas seis vitórias – a esta altura do campeonato. Porém, um fator curioso chama atenção. Justamente na 25ª rodada (e com os 30 pontos) o ex-técnico Hernán Crespo foi demitido e Rogério Ceni assumiu seu lugar.

Mesmo que a campanha esteja parecida, há algumas diferenças que garantem uma certa esperança ao falar desta temporada. Com o mesmo número de jogos, o Tricolor paulista superou a quantidade de gols marcados. Nestas 25 rodadas, no último ano tinha balançado as redes 20 vezes. Neste ano, já foram 32 gols.

O que preocupa com esta semelhança é que em 2021 o São Paulo só se salvou da zona de rebaixamento praticamente nos últimos jogos válidos pela maior competição nacional.

Somente em dezembro, contra o Juventude, se livrou do perigo. Isso porque na ocasião conseguiu vencer a equipe por 3 a 1 – sendo os autores dos gols os dois envolvidos na luta pela artilharia nesta temporada: Luciano e Calleri.

Rogério Ceni agora carrega uma responsabilidade triplicada. Se ano passado o Brasileiro era a única preocupação, agora o cenário é um pouco mais complicado. Somente nesta semana, são dois jogos de extrema importância.

Na quinta-feira (8), o Tricolor paulista decide seu futuro na Copa Sul-Americana. No jogo de ida, perdeu por 3 a 1 na Serra Dourada. Agora, em casa, busca recuperar o resultado e carimbar sua vaga na final do continental.

Mas não para por aí. No domingo (11), também no Morumbi, enfrenta o Corinthians em um clássico válido pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. E além do peso histórico do confronto, é a chance da equipe reerguer sua moral como um todo e conseguir os três pontos na tabela da competição – isso destacando que não sai com uma vitória no Brasileirão desde agosto, contra o Red Bull Bragantino.

Ainda há mais um desafio, porém com um espaço de tempo um pouco maior. Na próxima semana, no dia 14, volta a encontrar o Flamengo pela Copa do Brasil. Também com uma derrota por 3 a 1 no jogo de ida, vai ao Maracanã em busca de se aproximar mais ainda do título inédito.

Mesmo que a pressão esteja grande em cima do treinador e do restante do elenco, Ceni enfatizou no último domingo (4) que não desistiu de lutar.

-As pessoas às vezes não compreendem que estamos há mais de cem dias, 120 dias jogando quarta, sábado, quarta, domingo, quinta, domingo… como ponto positivo, fica essa reação. Contamos com a presença do torcedor. Que ele esteja lá e nos incentive, e que nós possamos retribuir ao fim do jogo com a classificação para a final. O São Paulo é um time feito para ganhar, um time feito para conquistar. Não conquista [títulos importantes] há muitos anos, devido a umas coisas que ocorreram ao longo desses anos, que fizeram com que o clube não tivesse condições para brigar de igual para igual com outros tantos times – disse o treinador após o empate recente com o Cuiabá.

لويس دياز يشعل الميركاتو.. تمرد على ليفربول ومطاردة مستمرة من برشلونة وبايرن ميونخ

لا يزال الجناح، لويس دياز متمسكًا بقرار الرحيل عن ليفربول خلال سوق الانتقالات الصيفية الجارية، رغم تمسك النادي الإنجليزي بخدماته.

وكشف الصحفي الموثوق فابريزيو رومانو أن نادي بايرن ميونخ لم يتخل عن فكرة التعاقد مع دياز، ويستعد لتقديم عرض جديد في وقت قريب بعد أن تم رفض عرضه الثاني الذي بلغ 67 مليون يورو.

وأكد رومانو أن إدارة بايرن ميونخ تنوي تحسين العرض المقدم من أجل إقناع ليفربول بالموافقة، مع استمرار المفاوضات في الوقت ذاته بشأن صفقة المهاجم نيلز وولتمايده.

ويُعد دياز من الأهداف البارزة لنادي بايرن ميونخ هذا الصيف، في إطار خطة النادي البافاري لدعم صفوفه بلاعبين ذوي جودة عالية، خاصة على مستوى الأجنحة الهجومية.

من جهته، لا يزال برشلونة يحاول البقاء في الصورة، حيث يواصل مسؤولوه التواصل مع وكلاء دياز، على أمل إقناعه بالانتقال إلى “كامب نو” إذا ما سنحت الظروف المادية.

ورغم رغبة برشلونة في ضم دياز، فإن النادي الكتالوني يواجه صعوبات مادية قد تحد من قدرته على منافسة بايرن ميونخ، الذي يبدو أكثر استعدادًا للإنفاق بسخاء على الصفقة.

ويُنظر إلى دياز باعتباره أحد أبرز المواهب اللاتينية في أوروبا حاليًا، بفضل سرعته ومهاراته الفردية وقدرته على صناعة الفارق في المباريات الكبيرة، ما جعله محط أنظار كبار القارة العجوز.

ولا يُستبعد أن تشهد الأيام القليلة المقبلة تسارعًا في الأحداث بشأن مستقبل اللاعب، خاصة مع اقتراب بايرن ميونخ من تقديم عرض رسمي ثانٍ، قد يكون حاسمًا في موقف ليفربول.

وباتت الكرة الآن في ملعب ليفربول، الذين يواجهون قرارًا صعبًا يتعلق بالتخلي عن نجم الفريق أو التمسك به رغم رغبته في الرحيل وخطط الأندية الكبرى لضمه.

لتدريب منتخب مغمور.. واقعة تزوير كوميدية لـ جوارديولا وتشافي

تعرض الثنائي الإسباني بيب جوارديولا وتشافي هيرنانديز، مدربا الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة الأسبق لحالة تزوير بشأن تدريب المنتخب الهندي.

وتلقى الاتحاد الهندي لكرة القدم جوابين من المفترض أنهما من ثنائي برشلونة لشغل منصب مدرب منتخب الهند الأول لكرة القدم.

بعد تقرير نشرته صحيفة “تايمز أوف إنديا” الخميس الماضي، قال مدير المنتخبات الوطنية في الاتحاد الهندي لكرة القدم خلاله إن اسم تشافي كان ضمن قائمة المرشحين لمنصب المدير الفني، كما كشف أحد أعضاء اللجنة الفنية في الاتحاد أن التعاقد معه لم يستكمل لأسباب مالية.

لكن فيما بعد أصدر الاتحاد الهندي بيانًا يوضح أن تلك الطلبات كانت مزورة ووهمية ولم يأت أي طلب من قِبَل جوارديولا أو تشافي لتدريب منتخب الهند.

ونشرت صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية بيان الاتحاد الهندي الرسمي الذي أوضح فيه حقيقة طلب تشافي وجوارديولا تدريب منتخب الهند الأول لكرة القدم. بشان الاتحاد الهندي بشأن تشافي وجوارديولا

“تلقى الاتحاد الهندي لكرة القدم رسالة بريد إلكتروني تتضمن طلبات من المدربين الإسبانيين بيب جوارديولا وتشافي هيرنانديز، ولم يتم التأكد من صحة هذه الطلبات، وظهر لاحقًا أن تلك الرسائل وهمية وغير صحيحة، وحتى الآن لم يكن معروفًا بشكل علني أن هناك طلبًا قد تم تلقيه أيضًا نيابة عن بيب جوارديولا، المدير الفني الحالي لمانشستر سيتي، وهو ما عزز الشكوك في أن الأمر كله كان خدعة أو مزحة”.
