– Nossa equipe vem demonstrando muita força e maturidade nos últimos jogos. Nosso sistema defensivo vem sofrendo pouquíssimos gols, isso ajuda demais e passa uma segurança enorme para o time. É um trabalho realizado por todo o grupo e todos estão de parabéns. Vamos manter a pegada e concentrar na equipe do Avai que vai dificultar o nosso trabalho – disse o lateral do Xavante.

Ipswich Town will be keeping tabs on the Saturday 3pm kick-offs with vested interest before their match at the Hawthorns gets underway, the Tractor Boys hoping that Leicester City trip up again and lose to Watford at home to then potentially leapfrog the Foxes to top spot in the Championship with a win.
West Bromwich Albion won't just roll over for Kieran McKenna's men to clinch a simple three points however, Carlos Corberan's Baggies have promotion hopes of their own with the playoffs in sight.
McKenna could well spring a surprise with his team selection for the match in the West Midlands to catch the home side off-guard, there's a case that Nathan Broadhead – although it's likely that he will start this one – could be dropped after a rare below-par display versus Swansea City.
Broadhead's numbers versus Swansea
Broadhead has been electric for the Tractor Boys this season – minus this Swans blip – as they aim for another promotion party come May to the Premier League, the former Everton youth prospect is a feared forward now for second-tier defenders to contain with six goals and one assist this season.
Yet, McKenna's usually reliable star man had an off-day versus the Swans with his other Ipswich teammates thankfully bailing him out in the 3-2 win.

Broadhead struggled throughout the high-intensity contest at Portman Road, only having one shot all afternoon, as per Sofascore, before being substituted off around the hour mark – the effort trailing wide, with the ex-Toffees man unable to add another goal to his ever-growing second-tier tally.
His accuracy on the ball too wasn't up to its usual standards either, only completing 60% of his passes on the day which gave Swansea a momentary lift that they could mount a comeback whenever an interception was made.
Playing for Wales too in the round of International fixtures just finished, the 25-year-old could do with sitting out the game at the Hawthorns to just rest up.
In his place, McKenna could start Wes Burns who isn't a natural left winger – Broadhead's compatriot is often deployed down the opposite flank at right wing – but he should be able to do a job even in an unfamiliar role after recently coming back from injury.
Wes Burns as Broadhead's replacement
Burns spoke to the Ipswich press in the build-up to the West Brom game, stating that he feels "strong" again after contending with a shoulder problem over the last couple of months.
McKenna will hope that his number seven can be a difference-maker for the Tractor Boys if selected, the former Fleetwood Town winger's impressive eight goals and 14 assists were key in his side's automatic promotion exploits last season but he's yet to get up and running in the second tier this campaign.
The 29-year-old – who earns £5k-per-week, according to Capology – only has one goal and one assist to his name from 12 games played, but that nasty shoulder injury has gotten in the way.
He shone off the bench when substituted late on versus the Swans, however, replacing Omari Hutchinson and notching up three key passes for his team despite only being on the pitch 26 minutes.
There is a case to be made that both Burns and Broadhead can start alongside each other, yet equally for this matchday, the 29-year-old could well displace the left winger for the trip to the Baggies.
Restam apenas dois dias para o fim de 2020, porém para o futebol brasileiro a temporada só termina em fevereiro. Até lá, apesar da ausência da torcida nos estádios, o Brasileirão promete ser recheado de emoção. Após mais uma troca no comando técnico, o Botafogo conquistou apenas uma vitória em dezembro e segue dois meses sem vencer em casa, no Z4 da competição. Com isso, oinício de 2021 será decisivo para o futuro do futebol Alvinegro.

Com o atual desempenho, a equipe de General Severiano tem 91% de chance de ser rebaixada pela terceira vez em sua história, de acordo com os números do estudo feito pela Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG).

Para qualquer equipe subir na classificação, é necessário manter a regularidade em casa, algo que o time não tem conseguido. Só em dezembro foram duas derrotas sob seus domínios diante de Flamengo e Corinthians.Com 23 pontos em 27 partidas, a equipe tem 28% de aproveitamento e não vence no Nilton Santos pelo Brasileirão desde o dia 7 de outubro, quando derrotou o Palmeiras ainda sob o comando do técnico Bruno Lazaroni.

Em janeiro, os comandados de Eduardo Barroca terão pela frente seis partidas. Apenas duas delas serão no estádio Nilton Santos diante de Athletico-Pr e Atlético Goianiense, adversários diretos na luta contra o rebaixamento. Contudo, dois dos duelos fora de casa serão no Rio de Janeiro, já que o time entrará em campo para disputar dois clássicos contra Vasco, em São Januário, e Fluminense, no Maracanã.

Além deles, o Botafogo visitará Santos e Palmeiras, na Vila Belmiro e no Allianz Parque. Duas equipes semifinalistas da atual edição da Copa Libertadores e que lutam por uma vaga no G6. Tudo isso sem a presença do japonês Honda, que pediu para deixar o clube antes do término do campeonato, alegando querer ficar mais próximo da família.
Apesar de todos os problemas, o treinador Eduardo Barroca terá uma semana, em meio à virada para 2021, para tentar corrigir os erros da derrota contra o Corinthians e apresentar novidades diante do Furacão. Ele terá um pouco mais de tempo não só para recuperar seus atletas fisicamente, como trabalhar o lado psicológico do grupo, que precisa, urgentemente, reagir.
– Eu não estou me permitindo pensar em dois jogos, estou pensando jogo a jogo. Agora o foco total é em cima no Athletico-PR, na recuperação física dos jogadores e trabalho da comissão de pegar o jogo com o Corinthians como referência, ver o que deu certo e o que não deu para treinar e melhorar. Entendo que o campeonato vai ser definido no final, temos que entregar nosso melhor a cada jogo e pontuar para sair o mais rápido dessa zona. A gente precisa cobrar internamente para entregar um jogo melhor contra o Athletico-PR – disse o técnico.
Em janeiro também a nova diretoria assume o comando do Alvinegro por meio da gestão do presidente eleitoDurcesio Mello. Diante da indefinição do S/A e da grave crise financeira que o clube apresenta, um rebaixamento pode representar uma queda brusca na receita alvinegra para 2021, trazendo um impacto direto nos cofres do clube.

Zimbabwe are having trouble closing out games, according to their head coach, but he’s backing them to deliver in the second ODI against Bangladesh

Zimbabwe are pinning their hopes on the senior batsmen to get big scores in the second ODI against Bangladesh on Wednesday. The head coach Lalchand Rajput was hopeful that incremental gains made over his tenure, which began on a permanent basis in August 2018, will begin to show soon.Brendan Taylor is a year into his return from retirement. Sean Williams has scored two fifties in four games and even Hamilton Masakadza – who has played all of Zimbabwe’s nine ODIs under Rajput – has scored just one fifty and sports a batting average of 25.88. Elton Chigumbura, who was dropped in the first ODI in Dhaka, has made just 107 runs in six games. Nevertheless, Rajput backed them to come good so that Zimbabwe could close out games better.”It is a long list [of losses] but in the first eight games we didn’t have our players,” he said. “Now the senior players have returned and we are getting closer but not crossing the line. South Africa were 100 for 7 in one game but we couldn’t win. Even in the T20Is. We are getting it together but the day will come soon that we will cross the line.”The senior players have to take responsibility. Masakadza got a hundred in the practice game so hopefully he can convert into the ODIs. BT [Brendon Taylor] is getting starts so hopefully a big score will come. I am sure they also feel they have to get a big score. It is coming, I am sure it is coming very soon.”Zimbabwe had two big moments when they could have taken control of the series opener they played on Sunday. They had Bangladesh at 139 for 6 in the 30th over but couldn’t capitalise, and later, chasing a target of 272, they made little use of a strong start provided by opener Cephas Zhuwao.Another concern for Rajput was the lengths his bowlers hit in the last few overs of the Bangladesh innings. Imrul Kayes and Mohammad Safiuddin were fed a diet of full and good length balls that they could easily slog, helping them score 85 runs off the last 60 balls. And this was after Zimbabwe committed the same mistake against South Africa when they let Dale Steyn score his maiden ODI half-century earlier this month.”We bowled really well in the first 30-35 overs. So we have to look at the death overs,” Rajput said. “We have addressed it so hopefully we will do better in this game.”
Ben Stokes has seemingly realised how much the game means to him and resolved to take every opportunity to be the best player he can be
George Dobell27-Nov-2018″He’s a madman.” That was the succinct verdict of Trevor Bayliss, the England coach, on Ben Stokes. It was said with a smile, of course. And meant as a compliment. For it was Stokes’ commitment to the team cause and extraordinary levels of fitness that provoked it.The specific moment that inspired the comment came from the final ball at the end of the third day’s play in Colombo. Bayliss had just seen Stokes complete a sprawling stop on the long-on boundary which saved three runs.Nothing unusual about that, you might think. Except Stokes was the bowler at the time. And after the batsman, Lakshan Sandakan, had driven one down the ground, Stokes had chased the ball down himself, culminating in a full length dive and drag back. At the end of a long day, during which Stokes had batted and bowled in the heat, it was a fine demonstration of stamina and determination.A few hours later, Bayliss bumped into Stokes again in the team hotel. Bayliss had just finished dinner; Stokes had just finished another session in the gym.It’s no coincidence he has been able to bowl 10-over spells (albeit, one split by the tea interval) in this heat. Or that he has been the one bowler to exceed 90mph and manage to intimidate batsmen on these slow surfaces. His dedication to his fitness on this tour – the extra runs in the heat of the day, the extra gym sessions – has been remarkable. He looks fitter, stronger and quicker than ever before.While Stokes has always been fit, it may be relevant that his dedication appears to have gone to another level since he returned to the team. For the pain of missing the Ashes and the realisation that he could face a far more prolonged absence from the game – following his arrest after a night out in Bristol – appears to have brought some clarity to Stokes.Instead of unwinding over a few drinks, he tends to unwind over a few laps of the grounds or hours in the gym. He has realised how much this game means to him and resolved to take every opportunity to be the best player he can be.”Certainly I think he’s learnt a lesson since that time,” Bayliss said, referring to the events of September 2017. “The way he’s conducted himself since he has come back into the fold has been exemplary.”To see him bowl the ball and then chase the ball all the way to wide mid-on to save it, that’s commitment, that. He’s a madman. How many other blokes in the world would you see do that? No one. And that says a lot.”I got into the lift a couple of nights ago after dinner on the third day and he was getting out. He’d just come back from the gym! That’s how hard he works. He deserves everything he gets from the game.”You can throw the ball to him, you can put him in any situation with the bat, you can put him where the ball is coming in the field. For me, he’s the first pick. His averages may not be the greatest in each of his positions. But you add those three disciplines together, it adds up to one hell of a player.”There remains the possibility that Stokes could face further time out of the game. He and Alex Hales will face disciplinary proceedings from the ECB in December, though the smart money suggests the fact that he has already missed the Ashes and lost the vice-captaincy of the team would mean any further suspension has already been served.Either way, it seems there is an acceptance that the ECB’s Cricket Discipline Committee may well not have legal jurisdiction over foreign T20 leagues, so any potential ban would only apply to international or county cricket.Ben Stokes was rewarded for a fine, long spell•Getty Images
Bayliss, at least, is very keen that his key allrounder should be at England’s disposal as much as possible.”I hope he’s available for our next game,” Bayliss said. “That [case] hasn’t affected him. I haven’t heard it mentioned once around the changing room. He can lift the tempo with whatever he does for the team. The team at different times definitely take his lead.”Stokes’ performance was, in Bayliss’ view, one of the highlights of a memorable tour. But he was equally delighted by England succeeding in conditions in which they have a modest record with a bold approach he has long advocated.”Our adaptability was probably the most pleasing thing,” he said. “We spoke, before this series, about how if we were going to come here and win we couldn’t do things the same as teams may have done in the past. We had to play a little bit differently to get a different result.”So, the way the boys went about it, trying to put the pressure back on to the Sri Lankans, well, you really can’t argue with it. It’s been successful.”To win away from home has been very difficult for most teams. So to come here and win in those conditions, will have given the boys confidence.”Issues remain, though. Bayliss admits that the openers’ spots are “probably not” nailed down and accepts that Jonny Bairstow will have to adapt as a batsman to prosper in conditions where seam bowlers have more assistance.”In these conditions, batting at No. 3 is no problem for Jonny,” Bayliss said. “His challenge will be when we get home on to the seaming decks. But he’s certainly a very talented player and I’m sure he’ll do whatever he can to adapt his game to that position at home as well.”Few changes are anticipated when the squad for the Caribbean tour is announced in a couple of weeks. There seems every chance England could play three spinners in at least one of the Tests – “a few of the wickets over there do take spin, they’re very subcontinent like,” Bayliss said – while Jason Roy may come into contention.”He’s getting close,” Bayliss said. “He’s been spoken about the last one or two times we’ve spoken about squads. It’s a bit hard to say we’d go past the 16 or 17 players we’ve had here on this successful tour. But certainly he is a batter who’s been spoken about.”Bayliss now goes to his home in Australia for Christmas – he will take part in the selection meeting via Skype or similar – while most of the players return to the UK on Wednesday. They depart for the Caribbean on January 11.
O clima no Ninho do Urubu está carregado de tensão desde o início da tarde desta terça-feira, dia da reapresentação do elenco após a derrota para o Ceará, no último fim de semana. Os jogadores chegaram ao CT sob duras cobranças e protesto de um grupo de (aproximadamente) 80 torcedores, que, inclusive, cantaram “time sem vergonha” e pediram a saída de Rogério Ceni, além da efetivação de Maurício Souza, o treinador do time sub-20.

Marcos Braz, vice-presidente de futebol do Rubro-Negro, chegou a ser muito xingado ao não parar o carro para falar com torcedores que estavam à espera de algum representante da diretoria ou do elenco para cobrar – o que não ocorreu. Cobrançatête-à-tête só ocorreu internamente, aliás.
Antes do treino, Braz e Rodolfo Landim, presidente do clube, se reuniram com o elenco a portas fechadas, na busca por respostas e soluções a fim de uma recuperação ainda sob o comando da atual comissão técnica, já que Rogério Ceni, embora não seja unanimidade, foi respaldado depois de uma reunião na Gávea no fim da tarde de ontem.

A significant update has emerged regarding 777 Partners' potential takeover of Everton Football Club, courtesy of journalist Paul Brown.
Everton takeover latest
The Blues have had so much going on this season, with drama emerging at every turn, whether it be results on the pitch or the 10-point for financial breaches that has come the club's way in recent weeks.
The saga that has been rumbling on the longest is the proposed takeover of Everton, however, with Farhad Moshiri's time as owner possibly coming to an end sooner rather than later. There is no end in sight at the moment, though, with doubts expressed over the credentials of 777 Partners, who have emerged as the front-runners to gain a majority stake in the Blues.
It does feel as though nothing is going to be agreed in the near future, but supporters will be desperate to see an agreement reached in time for Everton's move to their new Bramley Moore Dock stadium at the end of this season.
Worrying Everton takeover update
Speaking to Give Me Sport, Brown claimed from his "sources" that 777 Partners are now increasingly unlikely to see their takeover of Everton go through, due to failing to pass Premier League protocols.
Everton owner Farhad Moshiri.
"I'm hearing that 777 Partners are now unlikely to pass the Premier League's fit and proper person test. They say they've submitted all the relevant documents, but my sources tell me that there is a problem.
"You have to remember that there are also multiple very serious lawsuits going through the US courts right now involving this company. The question to ask is, does anybody really believe that the Premier League wants to run the risk of passing these guys only for a US court to deliver a verdict against 777 Partners in one of these cases?"
This update sums up the takeover situation at Everton currently, with constant stumbling blocks emerging with 777 and their hopes of becoming the club's new owners. With each passing report like this that drops, the more it feels as though the Merseysiders' should be considering abandoning all talk of them taking them over, with too many issues.
The Blues need reliable new owners who are going to take the club in the right direction, benefiting from the new stadium as much as possible and building an exciting future for the fans, rivalling Liverpool in the city in the process.

Everton need to have the funds to match some of the top clubs in the country when it comes to transfers, and they need to be in a position where they are functioning smoothly both on and off the pitch. As things stand, it is hard to envisage that being the case with 777 Partners, and the fact that they allegedly seem unlikely to pass the league's fit and proper person test just about sums up the situation.

Diante de punições por atrasos a treinamentos, lesões e problemas envolvendo cláusulas contratuais, todos os caminhos indicavam que o Botafogo entraria recheado de garotos diante do Palmeiras. Foi o que aconteceu. Na última terça-feira, os jovens de General Severiano foram o grande destaque do empate em 1 a 1, no Allianz Parque, válido pela 33ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.
Sousa, Romildo, Matheus Nascimento, Rafael Navarro e Cesinha – este não criado nas categorias de base do Botafogo, mas contratado junto ao Internacional. Nomes que marcaram a inédita escalação do Botafogo para enfrentar o Palmeiras. Com dez minutos de jogo, ainda, o jovem Hugo entrou no lugar de Rafael Forster, lesionado.
O time, formado por garotos, cometeu erros que vinham acontecendo nas últimas semanas – o que era provável que aconteceria, pelo sistema de jogo. Por outro lado, as mudanças deram um novo espírito dentro de campo: com correria, o Alvinegro, que há muito tempo não competia, voltou a incomodar um adversário.

A equipe ainda sofre com as bolas que são alçadas de forma diagonal para a lateral da grande área. Os laterais têm dificuldade para cobrir esses lançamentos, que geralmente atravessam o campo de um lado para o outro. A bola aérea – a forma como o Palmeiras abriu o placar, inclusive – continua sendo uma dor de cabeça para Eduardo Barroca.
No ataque, o time ainda teve dificuldade para colocar a bola no chão e criar oportunidades de gol – por mais que isto tenha acontecido mais do que em outras partidas. O meio-campo, formado por José Welison, Romildo e Caio Alexandre, foi o ponto negativo da partida, com pouca associação e participação efetiva nas jogadas.
Grande parte dos ataques promissores do Botafogo eram liderados por Matheus Nascimento. Aos 16 anos, o camisa 39 chamou a responsabilidade e apareceu em várias faixas do campo em busca de espaço. Quando não achava, tentava roubar a bola, como no lance do gol de Rafael Navarro: o atacante desarmou Lucas Lima e encontrou o companheiro, que acertou um chute de rara felicidade do meio-campo.
O Botafogo cometeu erros antigos, mas os garotos mostraram uma faceta que há muito tempo o Alvinegro não mostrava: a de competir e de incomodar o adversário dentro de campo. Virtualmente rebaixado para a segunda divisão do Campeonato Brasileiro, pode ser a hora de dar cada vez mais espaço para quem mostra vontade de estar em campo.
