Se faltava um fato para que o técnico Rogério Ceni passasse a ouvir com maior atenção as reclamações de parte da torcida por substituições mais óbvias e eficazes no São Paulo, a derrota por 2 a 1 para o Palmeiras, nos acréscimos, pode ter sido chave.

Foi a sétima vez em que o São Paulo abriu o placar na etapa inicial de uma partida e entregou os três pontos no segundo tempo. Só que contra o Palmeiras, o tropeço veio com requintes de crueldade: dois gols de cabeça dos zagueiros rivais em cobranças de escanteio, já com o tempo regulamentar encerrado.

Quando se olha para o decorrer do jogo, a análise de Rogério Ceni faz certo sentido: o time estudou o jogo, as alterações foram feitas conforme as necessidades (jogadores cansados ou com amarelo), havia um alto número de desfalques (oito machucados)…

Mas, após a derrota histórica desta segunda-feira, o são-paulino parece longe de querer aceitar mais teorias. Ele quer ver prática. De quem é a culpa Ceni? Do departamento médico, recentemente envolto em polêmicas com um ex-funcionário do clube? Dos preparadores físicos? Sua mesmo?

Vejamos contra o Palmeiras… Aos 16′ do segundo tempo saíram Igor Vinícius e Gabriel Neves para as entradas de Rafinha e Pablo Maia. Ambos estavam bem na etapa inicial, participaram da anulação total do jogo do rival e saíram elogiados. Porém, Ceni alegou que estavam pendurados pelo cartão amarelo recebido e corriam risco de serem expulsos.

Resposta válida.

Mas daí a coisa decaiu. Ceni tirou Calleri, alegando que o camisa 9 estava esgotado fisicamente, e deixou Patrick morto em campo. Rodrigo Nestor, único volante de contenção, saiu para a entrada de Rigoni. E a substituição mais polêmica veio no final: Miranda entrou no lugar de Reinaldo para reforçar a retranca. Pois o veterano zagueiro acabou vendo os dois gols palmeirenses de camarote.

As substituições de Ceni já haviam sido cornetadas no clássico contra o Corinthians. O treinador precisa encontrar uma solução. Um caminho. Só assim para não repetir 2017. Na sua primeira passagem pelo Morumbi no banco de reservas, o treinador viu o trabalho degringolar após duas eliminações em copas e saiu com o Tricolor lutando em posições intermediárias da tabela. Quinta-feira (23) pega de novo o Palmeiras, no mesmo Morumbi, pela Copa do Brasil. É hora de mudar essa história.

“I think Shadab and I hold ourselves accountable for not staying there and getting us to 155-160”

Fleming: Pakistan made ‘massive mistake’ in last four overs

At the last T20I World Cup 12 months ago, Shan Masood was doing commentary work with ESPNcricinfo. Two months ago, he had never played a T20I for Pakistan.Yet, immediately after Pakistan’s five-wicket loss to England in the T20 World Cup final, he was the one sent out to the MCG press area to try and make sense of a dispiriting evening for Pakistan after finishing as their top scorer in the game. After a middle-order stutter, he had built up a 36-run stand off 25 balls with Shadab Khan, laying the groundwork for a big finish, before both fell in the space of six balls and Pakistan’s innings melted away.Masood considered himself and Shadab responsible for the wheels coming off the innings. “When Babar and I were batting, we built a very good platform and then lost two wickets” Masood said. “We recovered that with Shadab and myself and then I don’t think we finished well and I think me and Shadab hold ourselves accountable for not staying there.Related

“There were stages, especially with the bat where we could have finished the innings really well. Personally, I take blame for it. I thought that we’re aiming for 170 and having looked at how the innings ended, maybe we could have used with a batsman staying until the end and getting us to 155-160 which looked very good on a pitch that did something.”The pitch continued to “do something”, as Masood said, right through the second innings. Shaheen Shah Afridi shaped one in that cleaned up Alex Hales in the first over, while Naseem Shah repeatedly beat both the left and right handers’ outside edges in a sensational, albeit luckless, spell.”With the ball, we were bowling some really really good deliveries, some very good spells, but maybe we also gave a few runs away too many early on which we could have done without,” he said. “At the end in that crucial period where we lost Shaheen, we could have done with his two overs at the end.”We’re a bit disappointed. We couldn’t seal it in the crucial moments. England were very good in those crucial moments. I thought they came at us both with the bat and the ball.”Haris Rauf ended up with figures of 2 for 23 and was particularly fearsome early on, ensuring Phil Salt and Jos Buttler had been dismissed before the powerplay was out. The spell was central to Pakistan managing to make a low target as hairy as they did for England, though Rauf rued the lack of another 15 runs or so to defend.”We were short a few runs, but as a bowling unit, we stuck to our plans,” Rauf said. “They played well and deserved to win. We had control of the match until the Shaheen injury. Ben Stokes was quite lucky and kept missing the outside edge, but we did think Shaheen not being able to bowl out make a difference. I’ve played a lot of cricket at the MCG and everyone knows scoring runs here is tricky; the boundaries are big. If we had 150 on the total, that would have posed more questions to them. But we bowled well to take it so close.”A campaign that had begun with two final-ball losses ended with a defeat in the final game for Pakistan. Four wins and three defeats might not necessarily be runner-up form, but Masood pointed out the nature of the wins and losses revealed a more insightful picture of Pakistan’s campaign.Shan Masood made a 28-ball 38 in the T20 World Cup final•Cameron Spencer/Getty Images

“I think we can sum it up with the wins and losses. I think the games that we have won, we’ve won them pretty comfortably. And the good sign always is that when you lose, you lose close games. So you realise that those things are in your own hands. The three games we lost to India, Zimbabwe and even the final there were opportunities where we could have closed out those games.”You make mistakes, not just when you lose you also make mistakes when you win. So I think the side is very good at doing that. The side is very good at holding itself accountable. We played the World Cup semi-final last year, lost a close semi final, played the Asia Cup final and the World Cup final. The next step this young team has to take is finishing out games, finishing out close moments. The way Babar is leading this team, the leadership group in Shadab and Rizwan and this management, I’ve got no doubts that with future World Cups coming this side will be a constant threat and amongst the top teams.”Masood was key to Pakistan’s charge through the early middle overs, most notably when he took 16 off Liam Livingston’s only over to leave Pakistan in a relatively dominant position at 84 for 2 in 11 overs. It’s been quite the journey from a Test match specialist and a T20 novice to Pakistan’s central hope in a World Cup final.”Funnily enough, I was watching the last World Cup with ESPNcricinfo doing some commentary work,” he said. “Life can change but I think personally in my life there’ve been huge lessons which has allowed me to be freer, enjoy the game more and be the best version of myself. I’ll never be satisfied with what I do. There are things that I want to improve in my game and hopefully I’ll keep working on them and keep growing as a player.”

Chelsea finally managed to get a win on the board having lost their last three games, beating Southampton 4-0 at Stamford Bridge and taking all three points with goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella.

Enzo Maresca’s men held 60% possession, taking 19 shots in the game, creating seven “big chances” and generating 2.32 xG compared to Southampton’s 0.62 xG.

With the Blues scoring four goals and keeping their first clean sheet since their 0-0 draw with Everton back in December, there were plenty of top-level performances, with a few individuals in particular standing out slightly more than others.

Chelsea's standout performers against Southampton

Enzo Fernández has made 31 appearances for Maresca’s side so far this season, scoring four goals, providing eight assists and totalling 2,295 minutes played.

Chelsea’s vice-captain (taking the armband in Reece James’ absence) was brilliant yet again, making things tick in midfield, dropping deep to progress play through the lines, making seven key passes, completing four out of five long balls, creating three big chances and winning five out of five ground duels.

But another superb performer against Southampton was Cucurella, who, along with his goal, made a whopping six tackles in the game, winning eight of his nine ground duels, showing his commitment to getting stuck in and doing the dirty work.

But it’s the mixture of his hard work and off-ball intensity blended with his calm ability to invert into midfield, pick up little pockets of space and keep things ticking, allowing others to play with more freedom.

It could well be argued that he’d now walk into the leading teams in the divisions…

How Cucurella compares to the PL's best

Since joining the Blues in 2022 for a fee of around £60m, the Spaniard has had a roller coaster of a time at Chelsea, going from out of favour and out of form, to one of their top performers, a fan favourite and potentially the best left-back in the league – as ex-Blues man William Gallas has tipped him to become.

Cucurella has made 89 appearances in his time at Chelsea, scoring five goals, providing seven assists and totalling 6,897 minutes played.

Stats taken from FBref

When comparing Cucurella’s metrics this season to Myles Lewis-Skelly at Arsenal and Andrew Robertson at Liverpool, you can see just how good the Spaniard is, not only making the most ball recoveries and blocks, but also offering output now, getting forward and showing his technical quality too, as well as his aggression and tenacity off the ball.

Cucurella was described as “phenomenal” by one notable analyst on X (formerly Twitter), praising his 1v1 defensive capabilities and his technical quality. His ability to invert into midfield, provide underlapping and overlapping runs in the final third, and even chip in with goals now, makes him one of the very best in his position.

With Robertson coming to the back end of his Liverpool career and Lewis-Skelly being tipped to move into midfield in the near future, you can put your money on the fact both Arsenal and Liverpool would snap at the chance to have Cucurella in their sides if given the chance.

O Benfica atravessou o Porto e está próximo de fechar a contratação do zagueiro João Victor, do Corinthians. O diretor esportivo do Benfica, Rui Pedro Braz, está em São Paulo parasacramentar o negócio nos próximos dias.

O valor do defensor foi definido 12 milhões de euros (R$ 66,7 milhões, na cotação atual), segundo apurado pela reportagem do LANCE!. O Timão detém 55% dos direitos, enquanto os outros 45% são do Coimbra, time de Minas Gerais que é administrado pelo banco BMG.

No entanto, nas tratativas finais há a possibilidade dos Encarnados comprarem uma porcentagem inferior a 100% do jogador. O grupo que gere o Coimbra está no aguardo parar saber quanto receberá na transação, mas aposta na boa relação, tanto com o Corinthians, quanto com o Benfica.

Rui Pedro Braz veio ao Brasil para acertar a porcentagem que o clube português irá comprar em relação aos direitos do zagueiro.

O avanço do Benfica incomodou muito o Porto, principalmente a comissão técnica dos Dragões. Com a saída do congolês Chancel Mbemba, que tinha contrato com a equipe lusitana até esta quinta-feira (30), o treinadorSérgio Conceição gostaria de uma zaga formada por João Victor eDavid Carmo, de 22 anos, que está no Braga.

Com a saída de João Victor, o Corinthians se aproxima da meta de vendas para a temporada, estipulada em R$ 91,5 milhões. O clube alvinegro já faturouR$ 46,8, milhões com jogadores negociados. O valor representa as vendas do meia Ederson, ao Salernitana-ITA, e do atacante Gabriel Pereira, ao New York City-EUA. Com João, o Timão chegaria em R$85,7 milhões.

João Victor chegou ao clube do Parque São Jorge em 2017 para a disputa da Copinha São Paulo. Após o período na base, a comissão técnica decidiu emprestá-lo para a Inter de Limeira em 2020.

Com o fim do Paulistão, o time do Parque São Jorge decidiu cede-lo para o Atlético-GO, que disputaria a Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro. Campeão estadual com o Dragão, João retornou ao Corinthians, e desde então se firmou na defesa alvinegra, sendo um dos principais jogadores no setor. Ele soma 78 jogos vestindo a camisa do Timão.

It is learnt that Najam Sethi, who had brought Arthur on board in 2016, has been in touch with the coach, who is currently with Derbyshire

Umar Farooq27-Dec-2022

The PCB is keen to bring Mickey Arthur back as head coach of the Pakistan men’s team, three years after he was refused a contract extension. ESPNcricinfo has learnt that current head coach Saqlain Mushtaq doesn’t want an extension when his contract ends next month, and the PCB also wants to move on from him.The PCB’s new management committee, which took charge last week, has decided to go back to Arthur, with the committee head Najam Sethi confirming that he has been in touch with Arthur. Arthur was Pakistan’s coach between 2016 and 2019; they won the 2017 Champions Trophy and rose to No. 1 in ICC T20I team rankings during his tenure.He was removed following Pakistan’s fifth-place finish at the 2019 ODI World Cup, and Misbah-ul-Haq had been given the dual role of head coach and chief selector.Related

Sethi’s 14-member committee, appointed by current prime minister Shahbaz Sharif, has disbanded all bodies set up after the 2019 rejig to the PCB’s constitution, initiated by then prime minister Imran Khan and implemented by Ehsan Mani. That aside, Ramiz Raja has been removed as the PCB’s chair, and Mohammad Wasim has been replaced as chief selector in an interim capacity by Shahid Afridi.It is learnt that one of the key reasons for the PCB looking at Arthur is his familiarity with Pakistan cricket and many of the current top-level cricketers. And, of course, with Sethi. Arthur was signed-on in 2016 by Sethi during his previous term as the PCB chief. Arthur is currently employed as head coach at Derbyshire in the English county circuit, the contract lasting till the end of the 2025 season.After his stint with Pakistan ended, Arthur was signed by Sri Lanka on a two-year deal, which was not extended. He moved to Derbyshire, where he has worked with Shan Masood, among others, at length.

With the dust having settled on Thursday night’s Europa League clash away at Real Sociedad, it’s hard to know what to make of Manchester United’s display, with a largely positive performance having been somewhat overshadowed by a familiar sense of Deja vu late on.

It must be said that a far more competent United side could have already had the tie wrapped up, with the Red Devils once again coming up short in the final third, prior to Joshua Zirkzee’s opener just before the hour mark.

Even that sweeping, stroked effort from the Dutchman epitomised the at times casual nature of the away side’s forward play, with Ruben Amorim’s men lacking that real ruthless cutting edge even when firmly in control, as Alejandro Garnacho notably lashed two efforts into the side netting from the angle.

Predictably in this dismal season of woe, the Old Trafford outfit were made to pay for that profligacy as Mikel Oyarzabal converted from the penalty spot to level proceedings. The hosts almost inflicted even more misery in the closing stages, only for Orri Oskarsson to inexplicably poke his attempt wide.

Thankfully, the scoreline remains level ahead of Thursday’s reverse fixture, albeit with Amorim left with key selection decisions to ponder…

Man Utd's worst performers vs Sociedad

While Bruno Fernandes can feel aggrieved to have been penalised for a somewhat harsh handball call that led to Oyarzabal’s equaliser, it must be said that the Portuguese playmaker was far from at his brilliant best on the night.

Not only did the 30-year-old fail to offer his usual attacking verve, after registering just a solitary key pass, but he was also caught out at times defensively, after being dribbled past on three occasions in the centre of the park.

Elsewhere, it also proved to be a frustrating outing for Fernandes’ compatriot, Diogo Dalot, with the 25-year-old full-back coming under fire for failing to pick out Rasmus Hojlund in the first half, a decision that even his manager described as “not the best”.

As for Hojlund himself, it was hard to doubt the Dane’s endeavour on this occasion as he tirelessly worked the channels, although the 22-year-old particularly faded from view as the game progressed, with the lack of a suitable alternative on the bench seemingly not helping matters.

Having failed to register 17-year-old, Chido Obi, for the competition, Hojlund will have to remain the go-to striker moving forward, albeit with Amorim certainly needing more from a player who hasn’t scored since mid-December, as he also lost the ball eight times from just 19 touches on the night.

In the case of the former Atalanta man, Amorim’s hands were tied in a sense due to the club’s depleted bench, yet the same cannot be said for Hojlund’s international teammate, Patrick Dorgu, with the 20-year-old perhaps fortunate not to have been withdrawn at some stage.

Patrick Dorgu's game in numbers vs Sociedad

Mixed would be the word to describe Dorgu’s start to life in Manchester.

Performance in Numbers

Expand Collapse

Subbed at half-time against Leicester City in the FA Cup, the former Lecce man then put in a lively display away at Goodison Park, with Amorim subsequently stating that the wing-back is “going to be a very good player for us now and in the future”.

Unfortunately for Dorgu, that was followed by a chaotic showing against Ipswich Town as he teed up the visitors’ opener before being dismissed just before the break, with that early red forcing him to sit out Sunday’s FA Cup tie at home to Fulham.

Having been reinstated for the trip to San Sebastian, there were signs of life from the £30m man again down the left flank as he regularly looked to get forward, albeit while having been found desperately lacking with regard to his end product.

Much like his compatriot, Hojlund, it is hard to criticise the defender’s work rate as he frequently bombed up and down the wing, although he failed to pick out a teammate with any of his three crosses, having lost the ball on 19 occasions.

That corroborates the verdict of the Daily Express’ Alex Turk, who handed the defender a 5/10 match rating, while also writing that Dorgu was ‘so often an attacking outlet for United down the left flank but wasn’t hitting the sweet spot with his crossing.’

Stats via Sofascore

While his tally of 52 touches was even more than influential goalscorer, Zirkzee (45), Dorgu did only record a 66% pass accuracy rate, while also struggling in a defensive sense after winning just four of his ten total duels.

There certainly remains reason to be optimistic surrounding United’s January arrival, yet perhaps Dorgu might have benefitted from being replaced when he started to tire, with teenage sensation, Harry Amass, waiting in the wings to make his ‘long overdue’ first-team debut, as per journalist George Smith.

While throwing on a 17-year-old for his first taste of senior football may have been a real gamble, it did look as if United were in need of fresher legs as Sociedad wrestled back control, having been left hanging on in the final throes of the game.

Senior options are, frankly, desperately limited at present, yet with games coming thick and fast, Amorim may need to start trusting his academy talents – like Amass – sooner rather than later.

Trio set to feature for Azzurri in July with 2024 T20 World Cup qualification on the line

Matt Roller22-Feb-2023

A 90mph/145kph left-arm fast bowler, a legend of modern county cricket, and a double Big Bash League-winner are among the players set to lead Italy’s bid to qualify for the 2024 men’s T20 World Cup.Italy will vie for one of two available spots in the tournament when they play in July’s seven-team T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier in Scotland, where the hosts and Ireland are clear favourites.But ESPNcricinfo can reveal that Spencer Johnson – the breakout star of the 2022-23 Big Bash – is set to feature along with Wayne Madsen and Ben Manenti, after months of discussions with players around the world led by captain-coach Gareth Berg.The Europe Qualifier will be held in Edinburgh from July 20-28, in round-robin format. The seven teams involved are Austria, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Jersey and Scotland, with the winners and runners-up progressing to the 2024 T20 World Cup. Two European sides, England and the Netherlands, have already qualified for the tournament.Related

Berg named playing head coach of Italy

Which Australian opener went on to play T20s for Italy?

Tall, left-arm and fast: Johnson grasps his second chance

Italy are ranked 32nd in the world in T20Is, sandwiched between Tanzania and Saudi Arabia, but Berg and his assistant Kevin O’Brien have led a drive towards semi-professionalism in recent months, running regular weekend training camps in Milan, Bologna and Rome.They hope to supplement the leading Italian-based players with a handful of full-time players from around the world, with Berg himself continuing as captain at the age of 42 alongside his commitments with Northamptonshire in county cricket.Johnson, the left-arm seamer, starred for Brisbane Heat on their recent run to the BBL final, taking nine wickets in the tournament and bowling several fast, hostile spells with the new ball. Johnson’s grandfather moved to Australia from Italy as a young man, and his manager confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that he has recently obtained his Italian passport and intends to play in July’s qualifier.”He’s dead keen,” Berg told ESPNcricinfo. “He’s going to be a huge boost for us. It’s always nice to have someone that can bowl close to 150 clicks at that level. He’s had quite a tough time with injuries but he’s coming back pretty strong now. He’s raring to get involved in July.”Joe Burns could soon qualify for Italy•Getty Images

Madsen, meanwhile, has scored nearly 20,000 runs across formats for Derbyshire since signing for the county in 2009, playing thanks to his Italian passport. “He’s wanted to play for the last few years now,” Berg said. “He’s at the stage of his career where he could probably slip away for a week or two to play in a big tournament like this.”Madsen would miss two County Championship fixtures if selected. Kent’s Grant Stewart – who has already played 10 T20Is for Italy – is also expected to miss two games in order to play in the qualifier.Manenti, the offspinning allrounder who was part of Sydney Sixers’ BBL title wins in 2019/20 and 2020/21, is also due to debut and could play alongside his younger brother, Harry. He has thrived with the bat for South Australia this season, and also provides a reliable offspin option.Joe Burns, the former Australia opener, is expected to qualify at the end of 2023. While Italy do not anticipate having him available this summer, Berg believes Burns will be in the mix for World Cup selection “if we pull off a miracle and qualify in July”.’They’re coming to play for the Azzurri’The prospect of Italy turning up to the Europe Qualifier with a handful of professionals in their ranks will not be universally popular in the Associate game. “But at the end of the day, they all have the entitlement to come in and play for us through their passports or through their bloodlines,” Berg said. “I’m more than happy for them to represent the national team.”It’s not like we’re throwing cash at them or anything like that. They are coming to play for the love of the blue blood, coming to play for the Azzurri. As soon as I mention it, they’re straight on board with it and willing to help out. Yes, we have pros available, but we also have our local players that are pushing for spots. It’s heartwarming for me and the guys working with me that these guys are pushing themselves really hard.”Berg still plays county cricket for Northants•Getty Images

Berg, the South African-born allrounder who has enjoyed an extensive county career with Middlesex, Hampshire and Northants, first played for Italy in 2012. He has become extensively involved over the last three years, initially as captain and later as playing head coach.”When I came into the job, I wanted to push and direct Italian cricket into a more professional set-up,” he said. “”he one thing that we struggle with at times is players getting time off work. A few of the guys work double shifts or double jobs, so time away from work is tough. We have to play in advance and it can be really tough.”Our squad for this summer on paper looks as good as any in that tournament, but our biggest focus has to be the week before the tournament. That’s key for us: the bonding, gelling, getting to know each other and working out each other’s strengths and weaknesses.”Hopefully we can catch teams like Scotland and Ireland on a bad day and knock them over. But we are generally moving in the right direction. If this July tournament doesn’t work out for us, then hopefully we have everything in place to push for the next one.”

Em entrevista ao Premiere, no final do jogo, o volante Jean destacou a força dos adversários, que jogaram em casa:

– A gente sabe como é difícil jogar com o Coritiba na casa deles. Conseguimos uma ótima vantagem no primeiro tempo, 2 a 0, fazendo o que o professor pediu para fazer, colocando a bola no chão, com coragem, achando os espaço – explicou o jogador.

No entanto, Jean destacou que, durante a segunda etapa, a equipe saiu do esquema solicitado pelo treinador:

– No segundo tempo, infelizmente, nós jogadores assumimos que saímos do padrão que o professor pede. A gente saiu dele, mas conseguimos um ponto – finalizou o volante do Juventude.
