Sunderland seal off-field deal for "impressive" 38 y/o; Speakman’s buzzing

Sunderland have bolstered Regis Le Bris’ backroom team with a significant appointment, with reliable journalist Dominic Shaw sharing the update.

Sunderland make strong Championship start under Le Bris

The Black Cats couldn’t have asked for a much better start to the season in the Championship, with Le Bris’ men finding themselves right in the automatic promotion mix, sitting top of the table.

Sunderland have won six of their nine matches to date in the league, only suffering two defeats, and they have played some sparkling football along the way, with star youngsters such as Chris Rigg, Jobe Bellingham and Eliezer Mayenda catching the eye, among others.

Le Bris has come straight in as manager and hit the ground running, making his presence felt and steering his side to many good results, and the big test is whether his young squad can last the course of a long 46-game season in the Championship, especially as fatigue and pressure kick in during the latter months of the campaign.

While the manager will no doubt be delighted with how things are going, he will be aware of having the strongest backroom team to work alongside, taking pressure off him and allowing others to provide their input on team matters. A massive appointment has now been confirmed in that respect.

Sunderland appoint new assistant head coach

As reported by The Northern Echo‘s Shaw, Sunderland have appointed Pedro Ribeiro as their new assistant head coach, with sporting director Kristjaan Speakman buzzing, feeling the 38-year-old is the “right candidate” for the job and saying:

“We are delighted to welcome Pedro to Sunderland. We’ve been diligent and patient in identifying the right candidate for this role to ensure we build on the excellent progress we are making.

“Pedro has an impressive set of experiences. He can use these to provide an alternative perspective, but importantly he is aligned to our values and playing identity. We wish him the best of luck and look forward to helping him settle into his new role.”

The report states that the former Porto, Olympiakos and Fenehbace coach “will join Mike Dodds as Le Bris’ assistant head coach, with Michael Proctor to continue in his role as first team coach and Alessandro Barcherini as head of goalkeeping”. It goes on to add that the Black Cats “have spoken to a whole host of assistant head coach candidates since Le Bris’ summer arrival but were happy to be patient to ensure any new addition was the right fit on Wearside.”

Regis Le Bris for Lorient.

This is a very exciting appointment for Sunderland, with Ribeiro a young coach with fresh ideas, but also a hugely experienced figure with 19 years of coaching under his belt. The Portuguese has also been a manager in the past, enjoying spells at the likes of Belenenses SAD, FC Penafiel, Academico Viseu and Leixoes in his homeland, which can only bode well in terms of him being a strong lieutenant to Le Bris.

Sunderland need to be looking at every possible advantage in their quest to seal promotion from the Premier League to the Championship, and bringing in someone with the ability and nous of Ribeiro can only be a good thing.

Biggest coup since Defoe: Le Bris could land a 'lifelong Sunderland fan'

Sunderland would love to secure this mammoth deal in January.

The hope is that he and Le Bris immediately click with one another, further aiding the Black Cats in what is hopefully one of the most memorable seasons in the club’s recent history.

مهاجم تشيلسي الأسبق: صلاح يسير بثبات ليصبح الأفضل في تاريخ الدوري الإنجليزي

أشاد مهاجم نادي تشيلسي الأسبق، كارلتون كول، بأداء محمد صلاح خلال الموسم الحالي 2024/2025 مع ليفربول خاصة أنه يساهم بدرجة كبيرة في تصدر الريدز لجدول الدوري الإنجليزي.

ووصل محمد صلاح إلى 25 هدفًا وصناعة 17 هدف آخرين ولا يزال هناك الكثير من المباريات المتبقية في البطولة، وبالتالي، فهو قادر على تحقيق المزيد.

وتحدث كول عبر شبكة “talkSport” حول رؤيته في مقارنة محمد صلاح مع تيري هنري الذي يعتبره الكثيرون أعظم لاعب في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وقال الإنجليزي: “عندما نتحدث عن المهارة والأسلوب، ربما لا يمتلك محمد صلاح نفس الطريقة التي كان يركض بها تييري هنري، لأنه كان رائعًا في تحركاته، أهدافه كانت تحمل طابعًا جماليًا مميزًا”.

وأضاف: “عندما تنظر إلى أرقام هنري أيضًا، تجده واحدًا من الأعظم، إن لم يكن الأعظم على الإطلاق”.

وأتم: “قد ينهي محمد صلاح الموسم بامتلاك ميداليتين الدوري الإنجليزي ودوري أبطال أوروبا بجانب أنه يسير بخطى ثابتة ليصبح أعظم لاعب في تاريخ الدوري الإنجليزي”.

Roston Chase's 51* helps St Lucia Kings complete double drubbing of St Kitts & Nevis Patriots

A fighting all-round display from Fabian Allen went in vain in a low-scoring contest

The same two teams played at the same venue for a second day running, and St Lucia Kings got the better of St Kitts & Nevis Patriots once again, but this time on an entirely different sort of pitch. Having ended Patriots’ five-match winning streak by powering their way to 224 on Saturday, Kings completed the double with a far scrappier performance in a low-scoring game, with Roston Chase sealing the deal with his third straight half-century of the season.They got home with six wickets in hand and 26 balls remaining, but the match was closer than the scorecard indicated, with missed chances costing Patriots the possibility of a tense finish.The pitch used on Sunday offered help for the spinners as well as disconcerting bounce when the fast bowlers hit the shorter lengths, and Kings’ well-balanced attack kept Patriots to 118 after the home team opted to bowl. Left-arm spinners Jeavor Royal and Samit Patel returned combined figures of 5 for 35 in eight overs, and Wahab Riaz conceded just 17 in his four overs while getting the prize early scalp of Chris Gayle with a lifting, seaming delivery in the corridor.Patriots could have ended up with far less, but Fabian Allen dragged them into three figures with an uncharacteristic knock. He came in at 59 for 5 in the 10th over, and was on 6 off 19 balls – with Patriots eight down – when he hit his first boundary. By then, though, he seemed to have the measure of conditions, and he hit 28 off his next 12 balls – with his flat-bat hitting of short-of-length balls over the covers a particular highlight – before falling in the 19th over.Without a significant total to defend, Gayle was aggressive with his captaincy, packing the infield even after the powerplay, and stationing a slip for most of Kings’ innings. He started with Allen’s left-arm spin and bowled him out in one spell, and was rewarded with two wickets – Andre Fletcher out first ball to a contentious lbw call, and Faf du Plessis caught at mid-on. Allen could have had a third with the last ball of his spell too, but his drifting arm ball sneaked between Chase’s bat and pad and bounced over the stumps.The next two overs produced three chances but just the one wicket, as both Naseem Shah and Paul van Meekeren got the short ball to rear awkwardly. Keron Cottoy was put down by Fawad Ahmed at fine leg, but he fell next ball, slicing a catch to backward point. Then both Chase and Samit were early on the pull, only for Colin Archibald to put the former down at mid-off and for van Meekeren to lose the ball in the sun off his own bowling and let off the latter.Kings could have been five down at the end of the ninth over. Instead, they were just three down with 55 needed from 66. Chase took over thereafter, lofting Fawad and Archibald for exquisite sixes over extra-cover to rush towards his fifty, eventually bringing it up off just 36 balls.Samit fell with 19 left to get, but that was no ray of hope for Patriots, as Tim David came out and smacked two sixes in just seven balls to end the game in a hurry.

Ipswich considering terminating £150,000-a-week ace’s contract in January

Ipswich Town are reportedly considering allowing a “really good” player to leave the club in the January transfer window, following a tough start to the season.

Ipswich eyeing first Premier League win

Kieran McKenna’s side have predictably found life back in the Premier League tough, failing to win any of their opening eight games in the competition this season.

The Tractor Boys have at least managed to pick up four draws in that time, ensuring that they don’t currently sit in the relegation zone, but there is no question that improvements are needed, especially after last weekend’s disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to struggling Everton.

Next up for Ipswich is Saturday’s trip to Brentford in the league, which while clearly far from an easy task, should be viewed as a game where McKenna’s men could pick up their maiden victory of the campaign.

For that to happen, though, a strong team performance will be required away to the 13th-place Bees, with players turning up and performing to the best of their abilities. A key update has now emerged regarding the future of one individual – one that may not bode well for him.

Ipswich could axe "really good" player in January

According to Football Insider, Ipswich could sanction the exit of Kalvin Phillips in the January transfer window, with the Englishman struggling to enjoy a positive impact at Portman Road. The report claims that the club are “amazed” at the 28-year-old’s “lack of mobility and running power”, with senior figures also feeling that his “head is still at Leeds”, and could now terminate his loan contract with Manchester City.

Seeing Phillips departing so soon after arriving on loan at Ipswich would be a real shame, both for the player and the club, but there is no doubt that he isn’t enjoying the impact he would have hoped for back in the summer. The £150,000-a-week Englishman has started five Premier League games, but his displays haven’t been the dominant ones he used to produce so often in a Leeds shirt, with 0.6 aerial duel wins and 0.2 blocks per game coming his way in the league.

The frustrating aspect of Phillips is that he is clearly an extremely effective player when he wants to be, with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola lauding him back in July during pre-season, saying: “Kalvin was really good.

“When he can get the ball and see all of the pitch in front of him he is a really good player. When I have him in smaller spaces we have more problems. With the ball he was really good and helped us a lot. I am very, very pleased with his performance.”

Sadly, Phillips’ career has nosedived fairly spectacularly ever since he departed for City, however, losing not only his place in England’s starting lineup, but also the squad.

Roy Keane worried by Ipswich Town fans' energy "going already"

Keane believes the atmosphere has already softened after a tough start to the season.

ByBrett Worthington Oct 24, 2024

At 28, he still has time to turn things around, but with his performances for Ipswich flattering to deceive, seeing him moved on in January would feel like a damning indictment, having arrived as a key signing.

Mumbai back in familiar territory as Capitals eye top-two finish

Mumbai will need a run of wins to ease their route to the playoffs, a situation they are not unaccustomed to

Karthik Krishnaswamy01-Oct-20211:34

Is Krunal Pandya’s form a concern for Mumbai?

Big pictureIn 2014, Mumbai Indians sneaked into the playoffs in dramatic fashion (Aditya Tare loses his shirt, Rahul Dravid loses his cap, everyone loses their minds) despite starting the season with five straight losses. A season later, they began with four Ls in a row, and went on to win the title.They didn’t begin quite as poorly this season, but in the context of their recent domination of the league, this has been their worst IPL in quite a while. It’s now that time in the season, however, when they invariably build serious steam, and they’re now in fifth, with only net run-rate separating them from fourth, with three games left to play.Two of those games, their last two league matches, are against the bottom-two teams, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.This is why every other playoffs contender would want Delhi Capitals to beat Mumbai Indians on Saturday. If you’re hunting for an IPL title, you want the team with the most experience and title-winning knowhow out of the picture as soon as possible.Capitals are currently in second, in the playoffs, but cast your mind back to last season, when they were in a similar situation only to lose five of their last six league games and find themselves with a more or less must-win fixture on their last day of league play.They wouldn’t want that sort of drama this time around. After Mumbai, the Capitals’ last two league opponents would be the teams currently in first and third, Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Given the importance of a top-two finish, neither will be in any mood to do a title rival any favours.Qualification chancesKolkata Knight Riders’ defeat against Punjab Kings is a result that both Mumbai and Capitals will be happy with. Mumbai now have a chance of qualifying without relying on other teams doing them any favours – all they need to do is win their last three games. Sixteen points will guarantee them a playoff spot, as Knight Riders can only get to a maximum of 14.However, if Mumbai lose to Capitals, things could get complicated for them as Knight Riders and Kings both have better net run rates, with all three teams currently on ten points. If qualification comes down to net run rate, Mumbai could lose out.Friday’s result also means Capitals have qualified for sure; their next target will be to finish among the top two. Currently, it is possible for three teams to reach 20 points, so even a win against Mumbai won’t assure them of a top-two position, but it will certainly be a big step in that direction. Their last two games are against teams that are currently in the top three, so it won’t get any easier for them.In the newsPrithvi Shaw sat out Capitals’ match against the Kolkata Knight Riders with an injury, and their captain Rishabh Pant said after the game that there was an 80% chance he would be fit to face Mumbai. Pant, meanwhile, said it might take Marcus Stoinis “a match or two” before he’s fully recovered from the hamstring issue that’s been keeping him out of the Capitals’ recent games.While Steven Smith took Shaw’s place against Knight Riders, Capitals may now have one other option for that slot, with Sam Billings out of quarantine and available for selection.Likely XIsDelhi Capitals: 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Prithvi Shaw/Steven Smith/Sam Billings, 3 Shreyas Iyer, 4 Rishabh Pant (capt & wk), 5 Shimron Hetmyer, 6 Lalit Yadav, 7 Axar Patel, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Kagiso Rabada, 10 Avesh Khan, 11 Anrich Nortje.Mumbai Indians: 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Quinton de Kock (wk), 3 Suryakumar Yadav, 4 Saurabh Tiwary/Jayant Yadav, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Krunal Pandya, 8 Nathan Coulter-Nile, 9 Rahul Chahar, 10 Trent Boult, 11 Jasprit Bumrah.Strategy puntOf the seven matches Jayant Yadav has played for Mumbai over three seasons, four have been against Capitals. In three of those four games, he’s returned exactly the same figures, 1 for 25, while finishing with 0 for 18 from three overs in the other game. In short, he’s been a Capitals specialist, and he’s done his job with an almost machine-like precision each time.The reason why Mumbai use the offspinner so often against Capitals is, of course, their left-hander-heavy line-up. Jayant has terrific IPL records against Shikhar Dhawan (41 balls, 47 runs, one wicket), Rishabh Pant (23-21-0) and Axar Patel (10-5-0), but as a welcome byproduct for Mumbai, he’s also done well against Capitals’ right-hand batters. He’s gone 17-19-0 against Shreyas Iyer, 11-11-1 against Prithvi Shaw and 13-10-0 against Ajinkya Rahane. It’s quite likely, then, that he’ll be matched up against his favourite opposition once again.Stats that matter The Capitals have lost four out of their five games against Mumbai in the last two seasons, but R Ashwin has still managed an excellent record in those games, going 31-32-2 (balls-runs-wickets) against Quinton de Kock, 29-28-0 against Ishan Kishan, and 22-28-1 against Rohit Sharma, while only conceding one run in five balls against Krunal Pandya. He has struggled against Suryakumar Yadav, however, returning a 29-46-0 record. Rohit Sharma is two big hits short of becoming the first Indian batter to hit 400 T20 sixes. The others who have achieved the feat are Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Brendon McCullum, Shane Watson and AB de Villiers, with Aaron Finch currently on 399. Mumbai have struggled with the bat in the death overs this season, with a scoring rate of only 8.23. It’s the worst they’ve ever done in that phase in any season of the IPL. For some context, they went at an all-time-best 12.56 last season.

عودة كورتوا تُشعل أزمة.. حارس بلجيكا يُعلن العصيان: لا مكان لي بعد اليوم

أعلن حارس منتخب بلجيكا، كوين كاستيلس، العصيان بسبب عودة مواطنه ولاعب ريال مدريد، تيبو كورتوا، إلى الشياطين الحمر بعد غياب طويل.

وكان كورتوا على خلاف مع مدرب منتخب بلجيكا السابق، دومينيكو توديسكو، وهو ما جعله بعيدًا منذ عام 2023 ولم يشارك في بطولة كأس أمم أوروبا، يورو 2024.

لكن رحل توديسكو وتم التعاقد مع المدرب، رودي جارسيا، ليعلن الأخير عن عودة كورتوا مرة أخرى وهو ما أزعج كاستيلس الذي كان أساسيًا في بطولة كأس أمم أوروبا.

وقال كاستيلس في تصريحات من وسائل إعلام بلجيكية: “أجد أنه من الغريب بعض الشيء أن يتمكن كورتوا من اتخاذ القرار بنفسه بشأن العودة إلى منتخب بلجيكا”.

وتابع: “أرى أنه من الغريب أيضًا أن يغير اتحاد الكرة البلجيكي موقفه بهذه الطريقة ويمهد له الطريق مرحبًا به كما لو لم يتغير شيء”.

واستمر: “الأمر لا يتعلق كثيرًا بتيبو كورتوا نفسه، بل بالاتحاد البلجيكي لكرة القدم، هذا لا يتماشى مع المعايير والقيم التي أراها مناسبة لمنتخب او لمنظومة رياضية”.

وأضاف: “لا أحمل أي ضغينة تجاه كورتوا، بل أن مشكلتي مع الاتحاد، لقد التقيت به في الصيف الماضي في إيبيزا وتحدثنا عن الأمر كثيرًا”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “لا توجد أي مشكلة مع تيبو نفسه، أنا شخص لدي مبادئ، إذا وافقوا على هذا السلوك وصفقوا له، فليمضوا قدمًا لكن بدوني، واعتبارًا من اليوم، لم أعد متاحًا للمنتخب”.

ويلعب كاستيلس في الوقت الحالي مع نادي القادسية المنافس في الدوري السعودي، بعد فترة طويل قضاها مع فريق فولفسبورج.

Ao L!, Deyverson revela o que pensou antes de marcar o gol do título da Libertadores: 'Se eu perdesse…'

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras já vive o ano de 2022 nesta pré-temporada, às vésperas do Mundial de Clubes, mas não se esquece da grande conquista da Copa Libertadores, no ano passado, vencendo um de seus grandes rivais: o Flamengo. O herói daquele título foi Deyverson, que participou de live do LANCE!, no Tik Tok, na última sexta-feira, e contou sua emoção naquele momento, além de seu pensamento na hora de finalizar para o gol.

Herói improvável em Montevidéu, o centroavante palmeirense entrou na prorrogação da final, no lugar de Raphael Veiga. Não demorou nem cinco minutos para que ele pudesse mostrar seu protagonismo ao pressionar a saída de bola do Flamengo, roubar a bola de Andreas Pereira e concluiu na saída de Diego Alves. O lance, até parece rápido olhando de fora, mas na cabeça de Deyvinho durou uma eternidade, pensando o que seria se ele perdesse o gol.

-Na verdade quando eu roubei aquela bola ali… Vou contar uma coisa para vocês que não contei para ninguém. Vocês serão os primeiros a saber. Quando eu peguei aquela bola ali, que eu roubei, falei assim “p** que p*, por que eu roubei essa bola, irmão? Se eu fizer o gol, eu sou o cara, mas se eu perder, irmão, esquece, estou no inferno”. Mas graças a Deus eu pude ali, com a ajuda dos meus companheiros e da torcida, pude fazer esse gol tão importante para minha carreira – contou o autor do gol do tricampeonato alviverde.

Apesar de saber que sua estrela brilhou na final da Liberta, ele tem noção de que tudo aquilo aconteceu por conta de toda uma estrutura montada por Abel Ferreira para chegar naquele resultado. Além disso, o centroavante lembrou o quanto aquele gol foi importante para que muitas pessoas repensassem o que disseram sobre ele, que garante que reconheceu as falhas que cometeu.

– Na verdade não fui eu sozinho. Somos um grupo. O Abel sempre fala isso. Todos somos um. Eu fico feliz por ter feito o gol, claro! Não só eu, como minha família. Por todo momento que eu passei no Palmeiras. As dificuldades. E, hoje, estar podendo sair na rua e receber carinho, reconhecimento das pessoas, pedidos de desculpas… pessoas se arrependendo por tudo que falaram. É muito gratificante, é muito bom. O homem é homem quando reconhece que errou e eu reconheci minhas falhas. Mas, hoje, Graças a Deus, que me abençoou, eu estou podendo aproveitar esse meu momento com meus companheiros, meus familiares e pessoas que eu amo.

– Eu acho que o mais importante é o grupo. O trabalho que o grupo veio fazendo e o que o Abel nos passou para a gente poder sair vitorioso dessa libertadores contra uma equipe muito forte que é o Flamengo. Mas a gente estava muito focado ali, a gente estava muito atento nas coisas que o Abel nos passou. E tudo que ele passou, a gente correspondeu e deu certo.

Deyverson e seus companheiros estão em pré-temporada, na Academia de Futebol, em preparação para o 2022 que promete ainda mais para o Palmeiras, que logo de cara terá a disputa do Mundial de Clubes, em Abu Dhabi, nos Emirados Árabes Unidos, a partir do dia 8 de fevereiro, quando terá a semifinal do torneio, contra o Monterrey, do México, ou contra o Al Ahly, do Egito.

Gabriel Jesus update with Edu and Arteta set for crunch Arsenal talks

An update has come to light on the future of Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus, with sporting director Edu Gaspar and manager Mikel Arteta set for crunch internal talks.

Arsenal targeting new striker for 2025 and it could be in January

Kai Havertz’s fine start to the new Premier League season, picking up where he left off last campaign, hasn’t affected Edu’s plans to eventually bring in a new number nine who can be that 20-plus goals per season frontman.

Arsenal could be without "underrated" star for Shakhtar after injury update

He may be unfit to play.

ByEmilio Galantini Oct 22, 2024

Reports in the build-up to January have suggested that Arsenal are on the lookout to sign a new striker for 2025, and it could even be January, with well-connected former recruitment chief Mick Brown claiming that the addition of a forward is entirely possible at the turn of the year.

Havertz has been brilliant recently,” said Brown to Football Insider.

You have to give people like that a lot of credit because questions have been asked of him and a lot of people would have shied away. But he’s done a great job for them. You have to credit Mikel Arteta because he’s brought this out of him. I’ve heard, though, that if there was the right option out there, Arsenal still want to buy somebody in that position.

The problem is there’s not a long list of players who are good enough to play that role and are also available to come to the Premier League. Arsenal won’t want to waste any money they have on a player they don’t need.

They’ll be prudent, but I know they’ll be looking for areas they can improve, and I think that will be one even with Havertz playing as well as he has been.”

This also comes amid Jesus’ questionable form. The Brazilian is yet to get off the mark in all competitions this season, leading to doubts about his suitability to lead the line for Arsenal going forward.

Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus

There are suggestions that Jesus could leave Arsenal and Arteta is a real fan of Eintracht Frankfurt star Omar Marmoush as his replacement – among other potential targets.

Gabriel Jesus set for exit talks with Edu and Arteta at Arsenal

According to GiveMeSport this week, Jesus is in line for internal exit talks with Arsenal. It is believed both Edu and Arteta will be involved in these discussions as well, with the ex-Man City star pondering his future despite retaining the faith of his manager.

The £265,000-per-week forward isn’t keen on playing a bit-part role during this stage of his career, which is exactly what has happened this season, considering he’s played just 89 minutes of league action this season and was an unused substitute in their 2-0 loss at Bournemouth.

Arteta openly spoke about his importance to the team earlier this year, though, calling the South American a “very important” player.

“Their contribution is super important, and we are really happy to have them,” said Arteta on Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

“They certainly were two players who helped us to accelerate the process and generate belief and their presence has been very important for our success.”

Seguindo os passos de Cássio, Carlos Miguel ostenta invencibilidade no Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

Aos poucos, Carlos Miguel vai se firmando como reserva imediato de Cássio no Corinthians, e traçando uma trajetória similar à do ídolo corintiano. O atleta de 24 anos foi o escolhido por Fernando Lázaro para ocupar o lugar do capitão na partida contra o Santo André, pela rodada final da fase de grupos do Paulistão, já que o camisa 12 foi poupado pelo treinador para não correr o risco de levar o terceiro cartão amarelo e perder o primeiro duelo do mata-mata.

O início é parecido com o de Cássio, que conheceu a sua primeira derrota pelo clube alvinegro apenas em sua quinta partida, contra o Fluminense. Carlos falou sobre as conversas que mantém com o capitão no dia a dia e valorizou as oportunidades que vem recebendo.

– Ele (Cássio) sempre fala para eu ir tranquilo e bem confiante no trabalho para que nunca dê errado. Todo jogo para mim vale alguma coisa. Se estamos em campo, vale alguma coisa. Tinham 43 mil pessoas ali, torcendo para a gente, fora as que estão em casa, então temos que estar ali para mostrar o nosso potencial e o melhor que temos – disse o goleiro na zona mista da Neo Química Arena após o jogo contra o Ramalhão.

Com apenas 24 anos e contrato renovado até 31 de dezembro de 2025, Carlos Miguel é apontado como o sucessor de Cássio no Corinthians. São apenas dois jogos disputados neste ano, mas ele já igualou o número de partidas da temporada passada, quando enfrentou Atlético-MG e Athletico-PR, pelo Brasileirão.
