Na coletiva de imprensa, o técnico Mano Menezes comentou a distância que aumentou para a briga do título do Campeonato Brasileiro.

– A campanha é longa, de 38 jogos, de vez em quando vai apresentar um jogo assim. Temos que ter maturidade para conviver com isso. Provavelmente neste dia, precisamos muito mais do torcedor. Mais compreensão até das nossas limitações – afirmou.

– Sempre que você vê a distância aumentar, ele fica mais distante, desculpe a redundância. A gente sempre soube que ele era um sonho distante. Não por culpa nossa, mas pelos méritos do Palmeiras -.

Partida

Sobre o duelo, o comandante do Inter falou sobre as dificuldades que o time encontrou ao longo dos 90 minutos.

– Tivemos dificuldades porque é normal. Tivemos dificuldades porque, às vezes, você não consegue fazer um jogo tão bom. E não é porque treinou menos ou mais. Isso é uma coisa que sempre se busca para tentar criticar – analisou.

Na próxima rodada, o Colorado retorna ao Beira-Rio e mede forças diante do Santos. O jogo será no sábado.

Cummins admits Australia are 'hurting' but hope to 'make amends'

Bavuma has praise for de Kock hundred after “close-to-perfect game” for South Africa

ESPNcricinfo staff12-Oct-20231:39

Moody: This Australian team is far from the previous champion sides

Following two big losses in two matches to start the 2023 ODI World Cup, Australia captain Pat Cummins has said his side is “hurting” but that they must find a way to regroup and “make amends”.”I think if we want to be challenging, you [have] got to try and find a way in all conditions, and that’s for the bowlers try and take wickets and for the batters try and score runs,” Cummins told the host broadcaster after the match.”Probably not much needs to be said [to my team-mates] tonight. I think everyone’s hurting. We’ve got a few days and the next game’s here as well. So we’ll group and regroup…everyone’s hurting. So we’re trying to make amends.”Related

After folding for 177 in the 134-run defeat to South Africa, following their six-wicket opening defeat against India in Chennai, Australia find themselves at No. 9 on the points table. Their batting floundered on both occasions, with 46 being the highest individual score from their line-up across the matches in a tournament that has so far seen 12 centuries.Against South Africa, their bowling and fielding – they dropped six catches – was also not up to the mark.”I wouldn’t say it’s one thing [where Australia went wrong],” he said. “Maybe they [South Africa] got a few more than we would have liked. And obviously 177 is off the mark as well. So yeah, it’s a few things we need to tidy up.”South Africa captain Temba Bavuma, meanwhile, was a happy man after his side backed up their record-breaking performance against Sri Lanka. Both of South Africa’s wins have had several statement performances – four out of those 12 centuries of the tournament have come from their batters.Bavuma described the Australia game as “close to perfect” for his team.”I think I’d be really greedy if I said there’ll be areas that we can improve,” he said. “I think there was a close-to-perfect game for us. The goal is maybe with the bat, we could have finished a little bit stronger, but I think they really bowled well throughout the whole innings.”At no point did the run rate get out of control for them…I think looking at all the different phases, the powerplay in the middle, as well as the death – wasn’t really much of a death – but I think the guys really dominated that. I don’t want to be too greedy. There’s not much that I can see.”I think you can have a look at the good work that we’ve done and achieved. So I’d take the confidence, take the learnings and experience from that…and to celebrate our individual performances, and then we’ll come back tomorrow and we find ways to get better as a team.”Having been put in, South Africa managed 311 for 7 thanks to Quinton de Kock’s second hundred of the tournament. While Cummins felt at one point the target was “chaseable”, he admitted that the ball zipped around more when his side batted. Bavuma said he was glad he had lost the toss, crediting de Kock for taking them to a total he thought was above par on a “tricky” surface.”I do think the 311 was probably a couple over par. I think 290-300 was the par score,” Bavuma said. “I guess I’m glad we lost the toss because we would have also had a lot to chase. I think things worked out in our favour. I found it quite tricky myself with the bat. I was scratchy throughout my innings. I think Quinton going out and ending up with this with a score like that, I think he needs to be credited a lot.”

باريس سان جيرمان يفتح الباب أمام رحيل دوناروما وسط ترقب من تشيلسي ومانشستر يونايتد

كشفت تقارير صحفية أن نادي باريس سان جيرمان بات قريبًا جدًا من حسم صفقة جديدة لتدعيم مركز حراسة المرمى في الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

وأكد الصحفي الموثوق فابريزيو رومانو عبر حسابه على منصة “إكس” أن الاتفاق تم بالفعل بين باريس سان جيرمان مع حارس ليل، لوكاس شوفالييه، فيما وصلت المفاوضات بين الناديين إلى مراحل متقدمة بمشاركة مباشرة من ناصر الخليفي وأوليفييه ليتانج (رئيس ليل).

وتأتي هذه التطورات في ظل اقتراب جيانلويجي دوناروما، من الرحيل عن حديقة الأمراء هذا الصيف، حيث أشار رومانو إلى وجود عروض فعلية لضم الحارس من عدة أندية أوروبية كبرى، على رأسها تشيلسي ومانشستر يونايتد وجالطة سراي.

وبحسب رومانو، فإن دوناروما منفتح بالفعل على خوض تجربة جديدة، بعد موسم ناجح مع باريس سان جيرمان حقق خلاله الدوري الفرنسي ودوري أبطال أوروبا ووصل لنهائي كأس العالم للأندية.

ويبدو أن باريس يتحرك سريعًا لتأمين مركز حراسة المرمى، تحسبًا لرحيل دوناروما، في ظل رغبة النادي في ضخ دماء جديدة في التشكيل تحت قيادة المدرب لويس إنريكي.

Lee cashes in on stumping reprieve to set up Hurricanes victory

Phoebe Litchfield shone but her effort came too late on a night where the lack of a TV umpire was again in the spotlight

Umpiring and technology use in the WBBL is again in the spotlight after a crucial stumping wasn’t given out in Hobart Hurricanes’ 24-run win over the Sydney Thunder.Hurricanes opener Lizelle Lee top-scored with 91 from 54 balls in Launceston to set up her team’s second victory from four matches this season.However, she was given a life in the sixth over on 12 when a stumping off Thunder spinner Heather Knight was not given out by the square-leg umpire.Related

Replays showed Lee was short of her ground when wicketkeeper Tahlia Wilson whipped off the bails.Lee smacked 12 fours and two sixes and was eventually out on the second-last ball of the inningsThunder got off to a sluggish start in reply before the in-form Phoebe Litchfield gave them a slim sniff with a career-best 42-ball 68.With Litchfield at the crease Thunder needed 39 runs heading into the second last over, which was bowled one ball short after Heather Graham sent down two wides.Litchfield fell in the final over but during her innings became the youngest batter to reach 1000 WBBL runs.Cricket Australia on Monday said it is looking to introduce third-umpire technology for all WBBL games next season.The league introduced the decision review system last season for the first time but only for the 24 matches televised on free-to-air. The Hurricanes-Thunder match was streamed on various platforms but was not on free-to-air.There have been several poor calls in the WBBL this tournament, including on Sunday when Brisbane Heat’s Mignon du Preez was declared run out when she wasn’t.Earlier, Lee and fellow opener Elyse Villani (40 from 34 balls) put on 68 runs – Hurricanes’ second-highest opening stand in their history.Graham chipped in with a valuable 31 not out from 23 deliveries to push Hurricanes to their second-highest first-innings score.Thunder, who last season finished bottom of the table with just one win, are now 2-1 after three matches.

Netherlands out to claim another scalp as Australia look to build momentum

Australia looks set to welcome back Travis Head from injury while the Netherlands need some runs from their top-order

Alex Malcolm24-Oct-20232:12

Would Netherlands rather beat India or Australia at the World Cup? We asked Scott Edwards

Big picture: The shared history of Australia and NetherlandsThere has long been a connection between Netherlands and Australian cricket. It is perhaps not quite as strong as South Africa’s connection to the current Dutch team. But their captain Scott Edwards is an Australian citizen, having grown up in Melbourne and played second XI cricket for Victoria. He has introduced a Netherlands team song that is a shameless rebrand of the song of his favourite Australian Football League club Richmond. From Edwards to former Dutch coach Ryan Campbell, to Tom Cooper, Timm van der Gugten, Michael Swart and Dirk Nannes, among others, plenty of Australian domestic players have had an impact on Netherlands cricket.But there will be no love lost in Delhi on Wednesday. Netherlands are gunning for another big scalp, having already taken down South Africa and potentially missed an opportunity against Sri Lanka. Australia are looking to continue their momentum. They will not be taking the Netherlands lightly, but they would love a statement win having been tested at times against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.For all the links between to the two nations as far as players and coaches are concerned, Australia and Netherlands have only met twice in ODI cricket. Both matches were at World Cups, in 2003 and 2007, and Australia were ruthless, claiming big wins while tinkering with their line-up. In fact, nobody could beat them in either of those tournaments.These two sides did meet in a rain-affected warm-up game in Thiruvananthapuram prior to this World Cup. Mitchell Starc claimed a hat-trick in a game Australia did not take seriously at all. Steven Smith and Josh Inglis opened the batting with Alex Carey at three and Mitchell Marsh did not bat but instead opened the bowling while Marnus Labuschagne also bowled four overs and picked up the wicket of Edwards.Australia won’t take this game as lightly with coach Andrew McDonald confirming on Monday that they would not be resting any of their players. They know the Dutch will be well planned and the dual spin threat of Aryan Dutt in the powerplay against possibly two left-handed openers in David Warner and Travis Head if he is passed fit, plus Roelof van der Merwe against Australia’s vulnerable middle-order could certainly cause problems. Netherlands’ biggest challenge will be getting top-order runs. But Australia’s new-ball bowlers have not taken a powerplay wicket in the last three games, and Delhi has been an excellent batting strip.Form guideAustralia WWLLW (last five ODIs, most recent first)Netherlands LWLLL1:48

Does Smith have a weakness against the ball coming in?

In the spotlight: Smith and O’DowdSteven Smith was considered vital to Australia’s chances in this World Cup given his experience in India and his prowess against spin. But Australia’s long-time No. 3, who is set to play his 150th ODI against Netherlands, is battling for form in ODI cricket this year and now may well find himself pushed to No.4 with the return of Head. Smith is averaging just 23.22 in ODIs this year from nine innings, including three ducks, and striking at just 81.64. His move to No. 4 may not help his search to find some form. He has only batted there once since the 2019 World Cup and that was against Pakistan in the last match, having slid one spot due to the promotion of Glenn Maxwell because of the game situation. He has batted No. 3 in his previous 29 ODI innings. He averages just 34.31 across 24 career innings at No. 4 compared to 52.60 at No. 3. His strike-rate is slightly higher at No. 4, but nonetheless, it is not his favoured spot.In a World Cup where the openers have dominated across the board to this point, Netherlands’ top two have simply not got going. Max O’Dowd has really struggled, making just 55 runs in four innings at a strike-rate of just 57.89. He has battled to get off strike facing 72 dot balls out of 95 in total, with 38 of his 55 runs coming in boundaries and just 11 singles. He did not play any List A cricket between the World Cup qualifiers in July and the World Cup itself, with his only match practice coming in Netherlands club cricket, some of which was played on artificial pitches. It is a huge ask to jump from that to facing some of the incredible new ball pairings he has so far this tournament and the task only gets tougher against Starc and Josh Hazlewood on Wednesday. But the Netherlands need some runs from their openers if they are to put pressure on Australia.Team news: Will Head play?Head arrived in Delhi on Saturday having been at home in Adelaide for Australia’s first four matches of the tournament, nursing his broken hand. He was optimistic he could play on Wednesday after a net session on Saturday. He faced bowlers for the first time on Monday and got through the session. If he plays he is set to open alongside Warner which will break up the in-form Warner-Marsh pairing. Labuschagne would be the likely batter to make way.Australia (probable): 1 David Warner, 2 Travis Head, 3 Mitchell Marsh, 4 Steven Smith, 5 Josh Inglis (wk), 6 Glenn Maxwell, 7 Marcus Stoinis, 8 Pat Cummins (capt), 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Josh Hazlewood, 11 Adam ZampaTravis Head is back with the Australia squad•Getty Images

The Netherlands look set to stick with the same combination that beat South Africa and tested Sri Lanka.Netherlands (probable): 1 Vikramjit Singh, 2 Max O’Dowd, 3 Colin Ackermann, 4 Bas de Leede, 5 Teja Nidamanuru, 6 Scott Edwards (capt & wk), 7 Sybrand Engelbrecht, 8 Roelof van der Merwe, 9 Logan van Beek, 10 Aryan Dutt, 11 Paul van MeekerenPitch and conditions: Another sweltering dayThe three games in Delhi thus far in this World Cup have produced two very different results, although the common thread is that the side batting first has won easily. South Africa piled up 428 against Sri Lanka and won although Sri Lanka made 326 in reply. India galloped to their 273-run against Afghanistan, who then defended 286 easily against England on the back of a masterful bowling performance by their spinners. It will be warm in Delhi and the air quality will be poor.Stats and trivia: Starc on the prowl Starc (55) needs two wickets to go past Lasith Malinga (56) to third all-time on the ODI World Cup wicket-takers list. Glenn McGrath leads with 71 and Muttiah Muralidaran is second with 68. Australia are the only team to have gone wicketless three times in the first powerplay in this World Cup. Only Bangladesh (38.90%) have had a higher percentage of runs scored by Nos. 5,6 and 7 in this World Cup than the Netherlands (35.82%)

Vítor Pereira fala sobre emoções e clima no Corinthians após vice da Copa do Brasil

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians ainda vive com as emoções à flor da pele pelo vice-campeonato da Copa do Brasil. O próprio técnico Vítor Pereira admitiu isso. Inclusive, o treinador corintiano disse que mesmo tentando virar a chave e focar no duelo contra o Santos, que aconteceu neste sábado (22).

+ATUAÇÕES: Em noite festiva para Pelé, Róger Guedes brilha com a camisa 10 em vitória do Corinthians

– A forma como perdemos esse título (da Copa do Brasil), porque foi uma aposta interna, foi muito forte. Para eles (Flamengo) era mais um título, para nós era o nosso título, e perdemos. Futebol e a vida às vezes nos dão pancadas, E nesse momento vemos quem são os verdadeiros homens, conseguem levantar de novo. Mas o espaço de tempo é curto. Por mais que eu quisesse focar nesse jogo (contra o Santos), eu não consegui me desfocar do outro. Ainda vejo muita tristeza, uma frustração, porque queríamos dar muita alegria para os nossos torcedores – disse Vítor na entrevista coletiva após o duelo contra o Peixe.

Ainda assim, o Timão venceu os santistas, em plena Vila Belmiro, por 1 a 0. E, segundo VP, o triunfo dificilmente viria se o seu time viesse de uma conquista durante a última semana.

– Queríamos vir aqui (na Vila Belmiro) com o título, mas estaríamos mais relaxados, com dias de festa. E se viéssemos assim, não ganharíamos. Viemos focados no resultado, sabendo a importância do G4, que é um objetivo possível.

Ainda assim, Pereira reconheceu que o Corinthians não iniciou bem o confronto diante do Santos, mas que as mudanças feitas no intervalo, principalmente por conta da expulsão do atacante Yuri Alberto, no fim do primeiro tempo, foram fundamentais para o crescimento corintiano na etapa final.

– Vocês imaginam que o estado de espírito da equipe, o meu estado de espírito, foi de muita difícil. Dificilmente se consegue recuperar (da perda de um título) em pouco tempo. O jogo estava a se pôr a um jeito, de uma derrota para trás. É um período de muita pressão para nós e temos que ter muita sanidade para não ter problemas. Não estava lá fazendo um bom jogo, depois da expulsão, decidimos fazer algo diferente. Buscar jogadores para ocupar os espaços e compor, que fizeram um trabalho sensacional, para mim – destacou VP.

O técnico corintiano fez quatro das cinco mudanças disponíveis já no intervalo do clássico deste fim de semana, promovendo as entradas de Bruno Méndez, Roni, Du Queiroz e Ramiro no lugar de Rafael Ramos, Maycon, Fausto Vera e Giuliano.

SÃO TANTAS EMOÇÕES…

Vítor deixou claro que tem apego ao Corinthians e por isso quer ficar no clube em 2023 – ainda que questões particulares possam fazer com que isso não seja possível.

-Tô um pouco cansado. Depois de hoje é o Fluminense, que é outra obra. Poderia ver alguma coisa mais fácil. Corinthians é sofrimento.
Estou a ficar com cabelos brancos, sempre peso no peito, mas é Corinthians. Queria sentar, assistir um grande jogo, tranquilo – disse Vítor até em tom de brincadeira.

No entanto, o comandante corintiano acrescentou que todos os= treinadores sofrem e que ele quer sofrer sempre brigando pelo títulos.

-Não se constrói uma carreira sem sofrimentos, o Klopp sofre, o Guardiola sofre. Não estou me comparando com eles, mas até quem tem grandes elencos eles também sofrem muito, todo mundo sofre. Mas acredito que sofrer para não ser rebaixado deva ser bem pior, eu também já vivi a experiência e foi terrível. Aqui nós lutamos por coisas grandes – destacou Vítor Pereira.

O técnico ainda disse que a derrota para o Flamengo foi o título que mais doeu perder. Ele ciutou uma derrota para o Barcelona na Supercopa da Europa, mas que era um jogo contra o time catalão, à época treinado por Guardiola, no qual era muito difícil. Ele também mencionou um revés sofrido contra o Galatasaray, na Turquia, enquanto ele dirigia o Fenerbahçe.

PCB set to delay Haris Rauf's NOC for BBL

Rauf’s absence could disrupt the plans of Melbourne Stars, who signed the Pakistan quick as a marquee player

Haris Rauf’s involvement at the BBL is set to hit a snag, with the Pakistan Cricket Board expected to delay the No-Objection Certificate he requires to participate in the league.ESPNcricinfo understands Rauf’s NOC is almost certain to be delayed until at least December 11, four days after the BBL begins. There is no confirmation that it will be issued immediately after. Mohammad Hafeez is scheduled to hold a press conference in Lahore ahead of the Pakistan team’s departure to Australia, and it is understood light on Rauf’s situation will also be shed.The official reason for the delay is that the National T20 Cup in Pakistan runs until December 10, a tournament the PCB expects Rauf to participate in in its entirety.Last week, Pakistan’s newly appointed chief selector Wahab Riaz announced that Rauf had declined to take part in Pakistan’s Test series in Australia in December-January. Wahab did not make any attempt to hide his displeasure at Rauf’s decision, though each party disputes the specific version of events that led up to that point. But in his role as chief selector, Wahab has significant influence in which players are issued NOCs – and when – with no guarantee yet of this standoff being resolved amicably.Related

Rauf’s absence from the BBL is also likely to ruffle feathers with the league, and particularly with Melbourne Stars, who signed the Pakistan fast bowler as a marquee player. It was initially assumed Rauf would only be unavailable from the BBL for the duration of Pakistan’s five-match T20 series in New Zealand in mid-January, but further delays will throw a spanner in the works of that league, too.That is especially true since Rauf’s availability has been heavily used as a marketing tool for the BBL this year, as the league – and Cricket Australia in general – looks to target their domestic South Asian audience in a concerted marketing strategy. The Melbourne Stars introduced what they called “House of Rauf” Membership on sale for the first three games at the MCG this year, as well as Haris Rauf Bay, a specifically dedicated seating zone.If Rauf’s NOC situation drags on, it may raise concerns with Pakistan’s centrally contracted players in general. Protracted contract negotiations between the PCB and the players hit a snag partially because of disagreements between each party about how many foreign leagues the players would be permitted to play each year. It is understood they settled on two, though participation in any league remained subject to the PCB issuing an NOC.The BBL runs from December 7, 2023 to January 24 next year.

"هل هنندب زي الزمالك؟".. شوبير يُعلق على تعادل الأهلي مع بتروجيت وديًا

كشف الإعلامي أحمد شوبير عن تفاصيل استعدادات النادي الأهلي للموسم الكروي الجديد، وذلك بعد خوض الفريق تجربتين وديتين أمس الأحد ضمن خطة الجهاز الفني لتقييم اللاعبين وتجهيز التشكيل الأمثل.

وقال شوبير في تصريحات عبر برنامجه الإذاعي صباح اليوم الإثنين: “أمس الأهلي خاض وديتين في يوم واحد، فاز على منتخب الشباب بهدف دون رد، والمباراة الثانية انتهت بالتعادل أمام بتروجيت 2-2، اليوم الأهلي راحة من التدريبات وغدًا سيتم استئنافها”.

وتعليقًا على الجدل المُثار حول نتائج المباريات الودية، أضاف: “(وزي ما اشتغل الندب) بعد خسارة الزمالك أمام بروكسي وديًا، قلت إن المدير الفني يُجرب اللاعبين، وهكذا فعل خوسيه ريبيرو مع الأهلي، دفع بفريق في الودية الأولى وفريق في الودية الثانية”.

وأشار شوبير إلى أن هناك ملامح بدأت تظهر لتشكيلة الأهلي في بداية الموسم، موضحًا: “فريق الأهلي الذي واجه بتروجيت قد يكون الأقرب للعب في بداية الموسم، لكن وارد إن ريبيرو لم يستقر على مركزين أو ثلاثة، هناك تنافس بين اللاعبين في كل مركز، وهناك عمل يُجرى الآن”.

واختتم قائلًا: “في النهاية الأهلي تعادل أمام بتروجيت (هل هنعمل مندبة بقى ونقول المباريات السابقة كانت أي كلام؟) هذا غير صحيح، المدرب يُجرب اللاعبين ويتعرف على إمكانيات اللاعبين، المدرب سعيد بالتجربتين”.
