Derrota mostra que problemas do Corinthians vão além do treinador

MatériaMais Notícias

Quem imaginou que seria só demitir Tiago Nunes para os problemas do Corinthians serem resolvidos, percebeu que estava enganado ao acompanhar a derrota do time para o Fluminense, por 2 a 1, no último domingo, no Maracanã. A limitação de repertório ofensivo, a facilidade com que o time é ameaçado e a falta de opções no elenco foram as mesmas que se via com o antigo treinador, sem contar que jogadores parecem continuar sem confiança para jogar.

É verdade que o trabalho de Tiago Nunes não encaixou, foram meses e meses de promessas que não foram entregues e meses e meses sem admitir culpa pelos problemas que o time vem apresentando desde o começo do ano. Mas é verdade também que o elenco, apesar de apresentar nomes fortes, não oferece profundidade para variações e para aplicar a filosofia que ele queria.

Isso continua afetando o clube e consequentemente o trabalho de qualquer treinador que for dirigir o time, como é o caso de Dyego Coelho. Com apenas um treino e um jogo, o técnico interino já diagnosticou que antes de qualquer imposição de sistema tático, terá de resgatar a confiança do elenco, abalada pela falta de resultados e pelo fracasso de um novo método de jogo.

A partir disso, provavelmente ele vai começar a tentar desenvolver o repertório ofensivo da equipe, que atualmente se limita a apostar nas cobranças de bola parada de Otero. O venezuelano é muito bom nesse quesito, mas não é um “kicker” do futebol americano que só entra em campo para executar tal função. Ele precisa oferecer mais e o Corinthians precisa ter mais alternativas.

Trunfos antigos, que funcionavam muito bem, mesmo nos momentos ruins, hoje estão deixando a desejar, como o sistema defensivo e as bolas em Jô. Na questão da defesa, talvez até mesmo pela falta da confiança, qualquer adversário ameaça a retaguarda corintiana e consegue marcar gols de forma simples. No ataque, a procura por Jô, que costuma corresponder, não acontece, já que as bolas não chegam e o centroavante precisar sair de sua posição.

Isso sem falar na falta que Fagner fez na partida do último domingo. Expulso no Dérbi, o lateral foi substituído por Michel Macedo contra o Fluminense. Dificilmente haveria um jogador que pudesse suprir o que Fagner representa, mas a diferença de nível foi muito nítida e evidenciou a dependência que o time tem em relação ao que o camisa 23 oferece, mas ela não pode ser tão grande.

Além do caso de Fagner, que é o mais evidente, é possível citar as entradas de Ramiro e Camacho nos lugares de Gabriel e Cantillo, todos jogadores que já provaram suas qualidades, mas a troca de “seis por meia dúzia” só mostra que não dá para fazer muito mais do que isso. Não há muito mais peças “diferentes” para mudar o cenário de um jogo, a profundida é muito baixa.

Os problemas corintianos vão muito além do comando técnico e aqui nem vamos tocar nas questões fora de campo. É possível que Dyego Coelho volte ao método que deu certo no clube na última década, acertando primeiramente o sistema defensivo e depois tornar o ataque um setor letal, cirúrgico, mesmo que o objetivo não seja conquistar o título. O Corinthians precisa voltar a ser um time, com começo, meio e fim. Hoje, o que se tem está bem longe disso.

Will try to improve Bangladesh's away record – Shakib

Shakib Al Hasan has said leading Bangladesh’s Test team should be easier now than it was in his first stint, given how settled the current group of players is

Shakib Al Hasan has said leading Bangladesh’s Test team should be easier now than it was in his first stint, given how settled the current group of players is. The BCB reappointed Shakib on Sunday to replace Mushfiqur Rahim following a difficult tour of South Africa.When Shakib was captain in all formats from 2009 to 2011, Bangladesh won 23 out of 60 international matches, but only won one Test, against a second-string West Indies side in 2009. Shakib was the second-highest run-scorer and highest wicket-taker during that phase of his captaincy. This time around, Shakib feels there are more performers in the team.”The job will be easier this time, definitely,” Shakib said. “Most of our cricketers are performing almost every time. The captain doesn’t have to do much when they are doing well. I hope everyone does well together, which will only do good to the team’s cause.”Notwithstanding the criticism he faced as captain, Mushfiqur is Bangladesh’s most successful Test captain with seven wins, and led them to notable victories over England, Sri Lanka and Australia. Shakib said he was looking forward to taking a developing team to the next level, and hoped to improve Bangladesh’s dismal record away from home.”It is a new responsibility,” Shakib said. “We have been doing well in Tests in the last few years, winning against England, Sri Lanka and Australia. I will try to improve upon this. It is hard to say how different this stint is going to be, but it will be important to get accustomed to the situation.”I think we feel slightly more comfortable playing at home and since we don’t have much success outside, maybe it becomes harder. But this is also an opportunity to do well. If we can start this, why not? Someone has to do it. Although it is not going to be easy. But a lot of things are possible with the way our team has shaped up.”Shakib said he would bank on the senior players, particularly the new vice-captain Mahmudullah whom he said has grown as a captain on his own stead.”We have a number of team leaders, who take a collective decision,” Shakib said. “It doesn’t matter who the captain is, when we go out in the middle. We help each other out.”[Mahmudullah] Riyad has been captaining quite well in the last few years in the BPL. He always had that leadership skill. I think it will be easier for me.”

Liverpool Eyeing Move For "Elite" £51m Star

Liverpool are now eyeing a move for OGC Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram, but they may have to do battle for his signature with a top European club, according to journalist Rudy Galetti.

What's the latest Liverpool transfer news?

With a new central midfielder clearly one of Jurgen Klopp's main priorities, the manager will be pleased that progress is being made towards signing Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch, with productive talks being held with the German club in recent days.

Talks have also been held over a move for Crystal Palace's Cheick Doucoure, with Klopp keen on adding more midfielders to his ranks, despite the recent addition of Wataru Endo, who Galetti believes will prove to be a shrewd addition to the squad, saying:

"When you look at the qualities that he has, it's pretty obvious what he'll bring to Liverpool. Stamina, tenacity, excellent coverage of the field.

"I think, therefore, Endo will take very well and quickly to the pace of the Premier League. In the same way, for example, that James Milner was a fantastic servant for the football club, despite the fact that he was getting on in age."

In an interview with GiveMeSport, Galetti also detailed that Thuram is still being targeted by Liverpool, but there may be some competition for the OGC Nice midfielder's signature.

The journalist said: "Khephren Thuram is another name on the list. For the French midfielder there is also interest from Juventus. Manu Kone, who is also followed by Borussia Dortmund, represents another profile and is always appreciated by Klopp."

At the moment, Liverpool's interest appears to be tentative, with no recent contact or formal bid being made, but earlier in the window it was suggested that Nice are looking for a fee of €60m (£51m) if they are to part ways with their star midfielder.

Is Khephren Thuram a defensive midfielder?

The France U21 international is a fairly well-rounded player, given that he is capable of pitching in defensively, ranking in the 78th percentile for interceptions per 90 over the past year, and he also poses a threat on the front foot, placing in the 92th percentile for successful take-ons.

However, the 22-year-old has predominantly featured in a defensive midfield role throughout his career so far, having established himself as a key player for Nice over the course of the past two seasons, making a combined 71 appearances in Ligue 1.

khephren-thuram-liverpool-transfer-news-premier-league

There is evidence the maestro would be capable of slotting right into the first team at Liverpool, given that he has been lauded as an "elite ball carrier" by journalist Zach Lowy, who also praises him for his ability to win the ball high up the pitch, making him perfect for Klopp.

That said, it does not seem like he is a priority for Klopp at present, considering the move for Gravenberch is now progressing, so it would be a surprise if Thuram moves to Anfield before the transfer deadline, even though he could be an excellent addition.

Christian on board for Notts' Blast defence

Nottinghamshire have signed Daniel Christian as their T20 captain for another two years. Christian took charge of Notts in the NatWest T20 Blast in 2016 and last season helped guide them to their maiden title.The Australia allrounder has great experience of T20 leagues around the world and was a key performer in Notts’ title win, scoring 356 runs at 35.60 to go with 11 wickets at 23.54.”To lead the Notts Outlaws to their first T20 Blast Finals Day win this summer ranks as one of the most memorable moments of my career, so I’m thrilled to be captaining the side again in 2018 and 2019,” Christian said.”I’ve really enjoyed working with head coach Peter Moores and a very talented squad of players, who really showed what they were capable of in 2017. With signings such as Paul Coughlin and Chris Nash made since the end of the summer, I firmly believe we can challenge for more T20 titles in the seasons to come.”Notts were the leading white-ball team in the country in 2017, lifting the Royal London Cup as well as securing the Blast for the first time. They also won promotion back to Division One of the Championship but face a period of transition over the winter, with the retirements of Michael Lumb, Chris Read and Greg Smith, as well as Brett Hutton’s departure for Northants.Christian’s re-appointment follows Steven Mullaney taking over from Read as captain for the Championship and Royal London Cup.Moores said: “We know exactly what we are getting with DC – he’s a quality player with bat and ball and is an excellent captain too, as we’ve seen in his previous time at Trent Bridge.”He has got a great team spirit going in the last two years, tactically he’s been very good and he’s backed the young players and given them a chance to prove themselves. Dan has the respect of everyone in the dressing room and his appointment will allow us to hit the ground running in T20 by making a quick transition from the 50-over one-day competition that precedes it.”

طارق قنديل: نُطالب بتحقيق الـ 13 من الآن.. وحلم جمهور الأهلي يقترب تحقيقه

تحدث طارق قنديل، عضو مجلس إدارة النادي الأهلي، عن إنجاز الفوز ببطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا للمرة الثانية عشر في تاريخه، بعد هزيمة الترجي التونسي في المباراة النهائية التي أُقيمت أمس السبت بملعب استاد القاهرة.

وقال طارق قنديل في تصريحات عبر برنامج “مع شوبير”، على إذاعة “أون سبورت إف إم”: “البطولات نتيجة منظومة احترافية، كل فرد يعرف دوره ولا يتخطاه، أمس كانت توجد حالة من الانضباط في دخول المباراة أو طريقة التنظيم، جدية وانضباط وفرحة قوية، إنجاز كبير نحمد الله عليه، أنا محظوظ بتواجدي في مجلس برئاسة محمود الخطيب”.

وتابع: “في ظرف 6 سنوات نُحقق 4 دوري أبطال إفريقيا، وجمهور الأهلي جميل، بعد مباراة أمس أحدهم قال مازحًا (تعبنا واتأخرنا كفاية كده الـ 13 يا أهلي)”.

Newcastle United Preparing Offer To Sign £51m "Dominator"

Newcastle United could submit an offer for Sporting CP’s Goncalo Inacio, and a fresh report has revealed the chances of him moving to the Premier League.

Is Goncalo Inacio left-footed?

Inacio is indeed left-footed but his natural role is a centre-back which is the position he’s played in for 114 of 115 appearances since the start of his career, as per Transfermarkt, and having been heavily linked with a move to the top-flight, there’s a strong possibility that his next chapter could see him making the trip to England.

The Magpies were reported to have been exploring a swoop for the 22-year-old last month, and whilst noise surrounding that pursuit quietened down at the time, it appears that a deal is once again being talked about behind the scenes.

Football Transfers claim that PIF and Eddie Howe could revisit a move for the Portugal international, who is also attracting interest from Liverpool and Manchester United, via the same outlet, but it's been made clear that the chances of an approach would likely be dependent on the severity of the injury to Sven Botman.

The Daily Mail’s Craig Hope has delivered a promising update on the Dutchman by confirming that his ankle problem doesn't look as bad as initially feared which the boss will be happy to hear, but regardless, it doesn't appear to be stopping him from chasing Inacio.

Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio.

Are Newcastle signing Goncalo Inacio?

According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola (via Sport Witness), Newcastle are “still to make a formal offer” for Inacio, but that could change in the “next few hours”.

The St. James’ Park outfit have shown a continual “harassment” regarding a swoop for the defender this summer, and it’s this that is tempting them to test the waters before Friday.

Sporting’s prized asset is protected by a €60m (£51m) release clause which is set to be his asking price, though a transfer “isn’t ruled out” because his club could yet enter the market to find a suitable replacement.

According to members of the media, Inacio is a defensive “dominator” which is true considering that he’s averaging 2.3 clearances and 1.3 aerial wins per league game this season, via WhoScored, not to mention that he’s won all four of the tackles he’s made.

The Almada native, however, also poses a threat at the opposite end of the pitch having posted 19 senior goal contributions (11 goals and eight assists) for Ruben Amorim’s side, alongside ranking in the 97th percentile for progressive carries, showing his desire to play out from the back and push his team as high up the pitch as possible.

Sporting’s academy graduate, who knows what it takes to be successful at the highest level having won four pieces of silverware, even has experience competing in the Champions League, so with the black and white stripes having qualified for this competition, it makes sense to recruit a player who has been there and done it, so it could be one to keep an eye on.

Chegou o 10! Corinthians anuncia a contratação de Cazares até 2021

MatériaMais Notícias

Na manhã deste sábado, após enorme expectativa durante mais de uma semana, o Corinthians finalmente anunciou a contratação de Juan Cazares como reforço para o elenco. O equatoriano chega sem custos do Atlético-MG e assinou contrato até junho de 2021 depois de realizar exames e testes.

Para fechar com o Timão, Cazares precisou abrir mão de valores que tinha a receber do Galo e ficar livre no mercado. Com problemas financeiros, o clube paulista avisou que só iria arcar com salários e possíveis luvas. Sendo assim, o jogador rescindiu contrato com os mineiros e foi liberado para seu novo time.

Aos 28 anos, Cazares vestirá a camisa 10 do Corinthians ao longo dos próximos meses. Apesar do contrato curto, ele prevê renovação diante de algumas cláusulas que, segundo apurou o LANCE!, também protegem o clube de possíveis atos de indisciplina do atleta, algo que foi bastante debatido nos bastidores antes de os dirigentes decidirem pela contratação.

Na última sexta-feira, Cazares já trabalhou no CT Joaquim Grava, mas ainda não com o grupo, pois ficou fazendo testes e exames no laboratório de biomecânica, procedimento padrão para todos os reforços que chegam ao clube. No elenco, ele vai encontrar um amigo dos tempos de Galo: Romulo Otero, que na última semana recomendou a contratação do companheiro.

Em 2020, Cazares fez apenas um jogo oficial com o Atlético-MG, que aconteceu em março, antes da paralisação. Depois disso, Jorge Sampaoli decidiu que o equatoriano não estava mais nos planos do clube e o liberou para procurar um novo rumo. Desde janeiro de 2016 no Galo, ele atuou em 205 partidas e marcou 41 gols, além de conquistar dois Campeonatos Mineiros.

Mackin, Kelly share 10 wickets to set up WA win

Thirteen wickets fell on the third day at the WACA Ground where the hosts prevailed by chasing down 169 and grabbed 7.15 points against New South Wales

Thirteen wickets fell on the third day at the WACA Ground where the hosts prevailed by chasing down 169 and grabbed 7.15 points against New South Wales. Western Australia’s win was set up by the pace-bowling duo of Matthew Kelly and Simon Mackin who shared all 10 wickets between them. They bowled NSW out for 179 before Western Australia scored at nearly five an over to chase the total.When NSW resumed on their overnight 3 for 77, Kelly struck on the second ball of the day and a little over six overs later again to reduce them to 5 for 89. Ed Cowan scored his 47th first-class fifty meanwhile, as Mackin ran through the tail to finish with 6 for 43 and Kelly ended with 4 for 25. It was Mackin’s first five-for in first-class matches this season and Kelly continued his wicket-taking streak after taking eight in the BBL for the Perth Scorchers.Trent Copeland retired hurt at 5 for 90 when he was struck while batting by Jhye Richardson and returned to bat later at 9 for 175. He later bowled 9.3 overs with an injured arm.Western Australia lost their openers by the 11th over before Hilton Cartwright (32) and Shaun Marsh (39) rallied them towards 100. Gurinder Sandhu had both of them caught but only 33 runs were left when Marsh walked back and the hosts finished the chase in the 35th over.NSW are still on the top of the table followed by Western Australia but both will be overtaken by Queensland if they take the remaining four Tasmania wickets on Sunday.
