Quando a régua é para o solo tupiniquim, o tempo é ainda maior. A última vez que a equipe comandada por Tite atuou no Brasil com a presença de público foi em 7 de julho de 2019 – há 829 dias – na final da Copa América diante do Peru, no Maracanã.

A Seleção foi bem recebida em Manaus. A cidade abraçou o time e compareceu a treinos, entrada do hotel e qualquer outro evento que os jogadores poderiam aparecer. Mesmo diante de uma fase instável no sentido de desempenho dentro de campo, o Brasil continua carregando multidões por onde passa.

O Brasil nada de braçadas na classificação das Eliminatórias e a vaga na Copa do Mundo parece apenas questão de tempo. Em campo, porém, todos os pontos conquistados não necessariamente refletem uma seleção dominante e, principalmente, que passa uma sensação de convencimento para quem assiste.

More clinical than Osimhen: Chelsea could sign one of the world’s best CFs

Enzo Maresca and his new Chelsea side begin their Premier League campaign by facing last year's champions, Manchester City, on Sunday.

Having already lost to them 4-2 in pre-season, Chelsea will be hoping to flip the script, and not come away from the game only scoring two goals, despite creating five "big chances".

On the day, Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu both spurned massive opportunities and if the Blues want to beat the best teams in the league, they will need to convert their big chances, hence the growing interest in a striker acquisition, particularly Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

Victor Osimhen for Napoli.

Osimhen has scored 65 goals in Serie A in his 108 appearances for Napoli, also providing 16 assists in that time. The 2022/23 Golden Boot winner is now very highly regarded and is seen as one of Chelsea's top targets.

Chelsea transfer news

According to French football expert Jonathan Johnson, via CaughtOffside, Lille striker Jonathan David, could be a story to keep an eye on going into the final weeks of the summer transfer window.

The expert stated that "it is possible that Chelsea or Tottenham could revisit their interest" in the forward before the window concludes.

LOSC Lille striker Jonathan David

The 24-year-old doesn't look like he is going to sign a new contract with Lille, and therefore, they will want to resolve his situation in order to avoid him leaving the club on a free next summer.

David made 47 appearances for Lille in all competitions last season, scoring 26 goals, providing nine assists, and totalling 3,615 minutes played.

David vs Osimhen comparison

Jacek Kulig described David as "superb" back in 2021, alluding to his excellent second half of the 2020/21 campaign, where he scored 11 times in 25 games.

David has shown his goal-scoring ability over the past few years, bagging 85 goals in his 185 games for Lille, including a 26-goal in 40 game season in 2022/23. So, he clearly find the back of the net, but what else can he provide?

Stats taken from FBref

David's best asset is his clinical finishing, and composure in front of goal, and this is massively backed up by his metrics. Averaging 0.66 goals per 90, whilst accumulating 0.66 xG per 90, and scoring at a rate of 0.21 goals/shot ratio.

Not only this, but the Canada star does this by taking fewer shots than Osimhen, averaging 2,76 shots per 90, whilst actually averaging more shots on target, despite having almost one whole fewer shot per 90.

One area Osimhen clearly dominates, though, is with his box presence, averaging over two more penalty area touches per 90, and more than double the number of aerials won per 90. This is a profile Chelsea have been lacking for some time now, and David, whilst being a clinical finisher, doesn't bring that same physical profile of an Osimhen.

Man Utd transfer target Jonathan David in action for Lille.

That said, David – whom journalist Tony Marinaro described as "one of the best strikers in the world" – would offer Chelsea a much cheaper alternative to Osimhen, whilst bringing a higher level of clinical finishing.

The main question, though, would be whether he offers enough in the finishing department, to abandon their desire for a box dominator.

Attacking sides eye series lead as turning pitch awaits India and England

England may bring in Moeen Ali, as India ponder over KL Rahul’s low scores

Shashank Kishore15-Mar-20216:19

Rohit for Rahul? Do England bring in Moeen?

Big PictureThe third instalment of one of white-ball cricket’s most compelling rivalries resumes on Tuesday. England, laggards in T20Is for long despite having a World Cup crown, have torn down templates and laid down the marker in the Eoin Morgan era. India, winners of the inaugural edition, have only now realised the need to go back to the very formula that brought them success in South Africa all those years ago: youngsters.While this isn’t to say there is no place for experienced players, the presence of fresher legs, dynamic players coming in with rich IPL experience and without the fear of failure seems to have given this side a new perspective, a refreshing change from the recent past. It is something England, who many including Virat Kohli believe are favourites for the T20 World Cup in October-November, simply can’t look past.The story of England’s tour, beyond their Chennai heroics, has been one of disappointment. Their rest and rotation policy has come in for sharp focus from the outside, even if they may be clear of their priorities from within. All said and done, they have a settled squad, and a combination that can tear down any opponent on a day.Jos Buttler. Jason Roy. Dawid Malan. Morgan. Ben Stokes. Moeen Ali. Jonny Bairstow. These are all blockbuster cricketers, who will all be up against each other on this very ground in a month’s time. For now though, there is a series at stake, the first step for which they can take on Tuesday should they win. So far, both games have been won by the side batting second. While there hasn’t been heavy dew, conditions have slightly eased out for the side chasing, which makes the toss vital. Will it be three in three then for the chasing side?Form guide
India WLLWW
England LWWWW
In the spotlightVirat Kohli was emphatic when he said KL Rahul is one of India’s first-choice openers in T20Is. Now with two failures behind him and a resting Rohit Sharma ready to come in, Rahul needs a score, even if there may not be an imminent threat to his place. However, it is undeniable that the competition at the top of the order is stifling, with Ishan Kishan becoming the latest entrant into the roulette. Rahul has been in two bubbles across the last five months. He didn’t play the Australia Tests; wasn’t chosen for the England Tests either. Would it have made better sense for the management to have rested him or even just allowed him some match-time for Karnataka at the Vijay Hazare Trophy? Answers we may not have for now, but either way, he’ll need to find form quickly.Moeen Ali had an excellent second Test before flying home to elicit the rest-rotation debate. He’s now back after two weeks at home, but couldn’t get a look in for the first two matches. Ali is no stranger to Indian conditions, having toured here twice earlier apart from having had a full IPL season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore. With the surface likely to offer more turn and India potentially having two left-hand batsmen – Kishan and Rishabh Pant – in the top five, Morgan could be tempted to bank on Ali’s offspin in addition to the batting depth he offers.England may include Moeen Ali with spin expected to play a part•Surjeet Yadav/Getty

Team newsKohli said at the toss of the series opener that Rohit Sharma was rested for the first two games, so he might slot in on Tuesday, for Rahul.India (probable): 1 Rohit Sharma/KL Rahul, 2 Ishan Kishan, 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 Rishabh Pant (wk), 5 Shreyas Iyer, 6 Suryakumar Yadav, 7 Hardik Pandya, 8 Washington Sundar, 9 Shardul Thakur, 10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 11 Yuzvendra ChahalMark Wood missed the second T20I with a bruised heel, but Morgan said the injury was “not a big worry”. “Hopefully he’ll be available for the game in two days’ time, but if not, the fourth match,” Morgan said on Sunday hoping for Wood’s return. Given the surface – and red soil instead of black soil – Morgan expects spin to play a big part, which could pave way for Ali’s inclusion at the expense of Tom Curran. If Wood is fit, they may have to leave out Chris Jordan as well.England (probable): 1 Jason Roy, 2 Jos Buttler (wk), 3 Dawid Malan, 4 Jonny Bairstow, 5 Eoin Morgan (capt), 6 Ben Stokes, 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Sam Curran, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Mark Wood/Chris JordanPitch and conditionsThe match will be played on a red-soil deck. While it may not be crumbly, there will definitely be more turn on offer. This is something Morgan alluded to while speaking of the changes they may be forced to make for Tuesday’s fixture.Stats and trivia Kohli’s unbeaten 73 on Saturday was his 26th T20I fifty, the most in T20I history. Vice-captain Rohit Sharma is next best with 22, while Ireland’s Paul Stirling and Australia’s David Warner are joint-third with 18 half-centuries. Ben Stokes has struggled for batting rhythm so far. Since 2018, his death overs strike rate is pegged at 140, having been dismissed ten times. This is in sharp contrast to his death overs numbers when he has opened: 52 runs off 23 balls at a strike rate of 226. This isn’t to suggest he should open, but it just proves perhaps batting higher up gives him the best chance of exploding at the death. For a minimum of 100 balls faced, Morgan has the best strike rate: 227.64 at the death. That’s 494 runs in 217 balls with 14 dismissals. England have successfully defended a score of 180 or less only once since the T20 World Cup in 2016.Quotes”I had to shift the focus back to the basics of the game. Probably thinking of too many variables from the outside. The management spoke to me about things. Anushka [Sharma, his wife] is here so she also keeps speaking to me about things. I had a special chat with AB de Villiers before the game. He told me to just watch the ball. That’s exactly what I did.”
Virat Kohli after hitting a match-winning half-century in the second T20I“The next game is on the red soil that looks like Ayers Rock, so it’s probably going to turn. These are the challenges that we want to play against. Regardless of how we do in the series we want to learn as much as we can and get that experience under our belt for the World Cup.”
Eoin Morgan is under no illusion on what England will come up against on Tuesday

Jaiswal 101, Sarfaraz 64 for MumbaiAfter losing to Hyderabad in their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super League opener on Friday, defending champions Mumbai bounced back to hunt down 235 against Haryana in Pune.Yashasvi Jaiswal led the steep chase with a 48-ball century – his fourth in T20 cricket – with 16 fours and a six. He eventually holed out with Mumbai seven away from victory. Atharva Ankolekar wrapped it up for Mumbai with a six and a four, in the company of allrounder Sairaj Patil.After Ajinkya Rahane fell for 21 off ten balls, Jaiswal combined with Sarfaraz Khan for an 88-run second-wicket partnership off just 37 balls. Sarfaraz, who is part of capped batters up for bidding in the first set of the IPL 2026 auction, boosted his chances with 64 off 25 balls, including nine fours and three sixes. After winning the Player-of-the-Match award, Jaiswal called up Sarfaraz and shared it with him. Though Mumbai suffered a late wobble, they cruised to victory with 15 balls and four wickets to spare.Earlier in the day, after Mumbai had opted to bowl, Patil emerged as their only wicket-taker, coming away with 2 for 44. Shardul Thakur also kept things tight on a small ground, prompting Haryana to retire Samant Jakhar out on 31 off 14 after the batter had struggled to get the Mumbai captain away in the 19th over. Haryana’s captain Ankit Kumar hit 89 off 42 balls, his joint-highest T20 score, but it went in vain.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Hemanth Reddy, Prasad stun PunjabAndhra handed Punjab their second successive defeat in the Super League, at the MCA Stadium in Pune. M Hemanth Reddy, 23, was the hero for Andhra, clattering a 48-ball hundred – his first in only his second T20. He finished unbeaten on 109 off 53 balls as Andhra chased 206 from 56 for 5 for their first win in the Super League.Reddy was well supported by No. 7 SDNV Prasad, who scored an unbeaten 53 off 35 balls, after Andhra were reduced to 56 for 5 in the ninth over. Their unbroken 155-run partnership is the highest for any wicket for Andhra in men’s T20 cricket. It is also the second-highest partnership for the sixth wicket or lower in men’s T20 cricket behind Andre Russell and Kennar Lewis’s 161-run stand for the sixth wicket for Jamaica Tallawahs in CPL 2018.After being asked to bat first, Punjab had posted 205 for 5 on the back of forty-somethings from Harnoor Singh Pannu (42), Anmolpreet Singh (47), Salil Arora (42*) and Ramandeep Singh (43). After bagging a hat-trick in the previous game, India international Nitish Kumar Reddy returned 1 for 39 in his four overs.File photo – Ishan Kishan’s 63 set up Jharkhand’s thrilling win•PTI

Jharkhand prevail in last-over finish vs MPVenkatesh Iyer took 3 for 17 from his three overs for Madhya Pradesh, but they fell short by just one run against Jharkhand after requiring 13 runs to win off the final over, bowled by Sushant Mishra.Earlier, Ishan Kishan was the architect of Jharkhand’s innings, making another quick start at the top after his 47 against Punjab in their previous game. He scored even quicker against MP, getting to 63 off 30 deliveries, including four fours and five sixes, before Iyer snared him up.Iyer’s two more wickets slowed down a Jharkhand innings where no other batter managed to cross 30. However, Iyer did not have much luck with the bat in hand himself as he fell for 8 at the top of the order. Harpreet Singh (77*) and Harsh Gawli (61) put up a 122-run partnership afterwards. By the time Gawli fell, MP needed just 41 more runs from 25 balls.The required rate rose thereafter, and the equation eventually became too steep as Jharkhand solidified their spot at the top of their Super Group table.File photo – Tanmay Agarwal’s 73 helped Hyderabad breeze through their chase•PTI

Agarwal helps Hyderabad breeze past RajasthanHyderabad opener Tanmay Agarwal led their chase of 179 against Rajasthan, hitting eight fours and four sixes during his 41-ball 73. By the time he was dismissed in the 17th over, the scores were level, and they eventually won with six wickets and 17 balls to spare. Agarwal played most of innings in the company of Rahul Buddhi – who made 55 off 36 – during a 95-run partnership for the third wicket.Earlier, No. 4 Mahipal Lomror led Rajasthan’s comeback after they had slipped to 17 for 2, then 85 for 5. His 48 was the highest score of a stop-start innings where four of the top seven got into the 20s but no one could kick on.Manav Suthar (2-20) and Kamlesh Nagarkoti (2-35) were the only wicket-takers for Rajasthan as they struggled to keep up in the chase. Hyderabad now sit at the top of their own Super League table, as the only unbeaten side in Group B after two matches.

Everton could now try to sign £100,000-per-week Arsenal player on loan

Everton could now try to sign a £100,000-per-week Arsenal player on loan, with Mikel Arteta's side anticipating more exits before summer deadline day on August 30.

Who could leave Arsenal after Emile Smith Rowe

The most high-profile Gunners departure of this window has been Emile Smith Rowe's £35 million to Fulham around a fortnight ago.

£30 million Arsenal star close to leaving after agreeing drastic wage cut

He’s ready to depart the Emirates.

Marco Silva's side agreed to pay what is a club-record transfer fee to get Smith Rowe over the line, and Arsenal greatly benefited from the transfer, as sales for academy players count as pure profit in the eyes of PSR.

While some reports claimed that Arteta would've ideally liked to have kept Smith Rowe at Arsenal, you cannot argue with the business decision to sell him when considering he started just three Premier League games last season and seemed quite far down their pecking order.

The £35 million fee received for their Hale End graduate will likely go towards signing Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino. Indeed, Arsenal have been attempting to sign Merino for the last few weeks, but reports claim the club are confident of getting it wrapped up soon (Pete O'Rourke).

Meanwhile, there are rumours that Arsenal still want to bring in a new forward this summer, with striker Eddie Nketiah repeatedly tipped to leave. He won't be going to Marseille, though, as it is reported that the Ligue 1 giants have pulled out of the race for him after deeming Arsenal's financial demands too high.

The door is now open for other clubs to make a move for the ex-Leeds United loanee, who scored six goals and assisted three others in 37 appearances across all competitions for Arsenal last season.

Everton could explore loan deal to sign Nketiah from Arsenal

According to Football Insider and journalist Pete O'Rourke, Everton could explore a loan deal to sign Nketiah from Arsenal, following Marseille's collapsed bid for the Englishman.

While the Toffees also cannot afford his asking price, it is believed a temporary spell at Goodison Park could be on the cards for Nketiah, depending on Arsenal's willingness to negotiate that kind of move.

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah

The £100,000-per-week forward has been called a "top-level" player by Arteta, despite their openness to selling him this summer.

“Well to me he is top level,” said Arteta on Nketiah's performances at the start of last season.

“He’s started nine out of our ten Premier League games, so that tells you how much we trust him and the importance he has in the team. I’m really happy for him, an academy player to experience a Premier League hat-trick. He needs to enjoy the moment, he fully deserves it, and hopefully there are many more to come."
