Oito em três jogos: Palmeiras tem pior sequência de gols sofridos do ano

MatériaMais Notícias

Pela primeira vez em 2017, o Palmeiras sofreu oito gols em três partidas seguidas. Foram dois do Cruzeiro (2 a 2), três do Corinthians (derrota por 3 a 2) e três do Vitória (derrota por 3 a 1). Nesses dois últimos jogos, todos os gols adversários saíram ainda antes do intervalo.

Curiosamente, a pior sequência antes dessa havia sido contra os mesmos adversários no primeiro turno do Brasileiro: sete gols sofridos em três partidas, sendo três do Cruzeiro (derrota por 3 a 1), dois do Corinthians (derrota por 2 a 0) e dois do Vitória (triunfo por 4 a 2). Cuca era o técnico na época.

Uma das principais mudanças impostas por Alberto Valentim foi no posicionamento da defesa. A linha de quatro defensores, muitas vezes, fica quase no meio de campo para compactar o time e sufocar o adversário.

É uma estratégia que oferece alguns riscos: na quarta-feira, Tréllez ganhou de Juninho no meio de campo e disparou sozinho para marcar o segundo gol do Vitória. Na semana passada, um outro vacilo do zagueiro perto do círculo central permitiu que Robinho recebesse livre e marcasse o segundo do Cruzeiro. Mas essa não é a única causa do número elevado de gols sofridos. Para Alberto Valentim, não é sequer a causa principal.

– A gente tem uma altura de marcação intermediária para fazer essa fase defensiva, mas os erros não foram porque a gente estava pressionando muito, tomamos um contra-ataque e eles fizeram gols. Foram erros que acontecem e a gente precisa corrigir – disse o treinador interino do Palmeiras, em Salvador.

Juninho e Egídio têm acumulado falhas e vêm sendo os mais criticados, mas os erros não são apenas de laterais e zagueiros. No primeiro gol do Vitória, por exemplo, Dudu não voltou para compor a segunda linha de quatro e Egídio ficou sobrecarregado para marcar pelo lado esquerdo. A falta de um combate mais firme também é um problema: no primeiro gol do Corinthians, Guilherme Arana recebeu a bola entre Mayke, Mina e Bruno Henrique e cruzou sem ser incomodado.

O Palmeiras trata a instabilidade defensiva como um problema coletivo. A partir desta sexta-feira, Alberto Valentim exibirá vídeos aos jogadores para apontar o que precisa ser corrigido para o jogo de domingo, às 17h, contra o Flamengo, no Allianz Parque.

O Verdão é o time que mais sofreu gols entre os integrantes do G7 do Brasileirão: 39 (por outro lado, é o melhor ataque, com 51). O time campeão do ano passado sofreu 32 gols ao longo das 38 rodadas e terminou com a melhor defesa. Nesta temporada, são 67 gols sofridos.

Nos três primeiros jogos sob o comando de Valentim, contra Atlético-GO, Ponte Preta e Grêmio, foram apenas dois gols sofridos e três vitórias.

Newcastle keen on Konstantinos Mavropanos

An update has emerged regarding Newcastle’s plans to sign Arsenal loanee Konstantinos Mavropanos.

What’s the talk?

According to German outlet Sport Bild, via West Ham Zone, the Magpies are eyeing up a deal to sign the centre-back, currently on loan at Stuttgart, to bolster their squad.

The report claims that the Hammers are also keen on him, with the Bundesliga side expected to sign him permanently before demanding £21.3m from interested parties.

Get it done

PIF must splash out the £21.3m that Stuttgart want in order to bring him to Newcastle, whether that happens in January or in the summer. The form he is producing in the Bundesliga suggests that he could be a terrific signing for Eddie Howe’s team and strengthen an area of the side which is in dire need of additional help.

Defending has been a significant weak point for the Magpies this season and the signing of a new centre-back could help to alleviate that issue, which Howe would surely love. Newcastle have conceded the most goals in the Premier League (34) and are currently 19th in the table, with goal difference the only statistic preventing them from being below Norwich.

Mavropanos has been outstanding at centre-back for Stuttgart. He has averaged a SofaScore rating of 7.41 in the Bundesliga, starting 13 games in the league. The 24-year-old is averaging 4.1 tackles and interceptions, along with an impressive six clearances, per game, showing that he has the quality to make consistent and crucial interventions at the back.

Borussia Monchengladbach chief Pellegrino Matarazzo previously hailed him as a gladiator and called him a ‘tough dog’. He said: “He’s our gladiator! He’s a monster in terms of physique. And when he makes a mistake, he hums around some Greek swear words. I like that. He’s just a tough dog.”

Howe will surely love for Newcastle to sign Mavropanos, as his statistics in Germany and these quotes from Matarazzo suggest that he is a strong centre-back who could come in and improve the club’s defensive record. The Magpies are conceding too many goals and the Greek beast has shown that he is capable of performing consistently at a top level this season.

Therefore, PIF must ensure that they are able to seal a deal to sign the Arsenal man to give the ex-Bournemouth coach the best possible chance of keeping the Geordies in the Premier League.

مصيلحي: رفضنا عرضًا من الزمالك بـ20 مليونًا و4 لاعبين مقابل مروان عطية.. والأهلي طلب ميسي رسميًا

كشف محمد مصيلحي رئيس نادي الاتحاد السكندري، عن العرض الكبير الذي قدمه الزمالك مقابل ضم مروان عطية لاعب وسط سيد البلد، خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الجارية.

وقال مصيلحي في تصريحات عبر قناة “أون تايم سبورت”: “مروان عطية من أبناء الاتحاد السكندري، كان في اتصال من المستشار مرتضى منصور لمحاولة ضم اللاعب لصفوف الزمالك، لكن نحن فضلنا أن يبقى اللاعب معنا على الأقل للموسم المُقبل”.

وتابع: “الزمالك عرض علينا مبلغ 20 مليون جنيه، بالإضافة لـ محمود شبانة بيع نهائي ومحمود عبد العاطي دونجا المنضم حديثًا لـ بيراميدز بيع نهائي، ويوسف أوباما سنة إعارة، وسيف فاروق جعفر سنتين إعارة، أنا رفضت هذا العرض الذي قد يقبل به أي ناد من أجل جماهير الاتحاد السكندري”.

وتجدر الإشارة إلى أن الزمالك كان قد حصل على توقيع محمود عبد العاطي دونجا بعد انتهاء عقده مع الإسماعيلي، ولكن تراجع مسؤولو القلعة البيضاء عن إتمام الصفقة بتوصية من فيريرا المدير الفني للفريق.

واختتم مصيلحي: “أحمد عادل ميسي أيضًا وصل له عرض رسمي من الأهلي، ولكني فضلت مصلحة الاتحاد السكندري رغم أننا كنا سنحصل على مبلغ مالي كبير”.

أتلتيكو مدريد يقرر الاستئناف ضد طرد هيرموسو أمام ريال مدريد

ينوي نادي أتلتيكو مدريد الاستئناف على طرد مدافعه الإسباني، ماريو هيرموسو، وذلك بعد تلقيه بطاقة حمراء في أمام ريال مدريد في ديربي العاصمة بالليجا.

وكان ريال مدريد قد فاز على أتلتيكو مدريد، أمس الأحد في اللقاء الذي أقيم على ملعب “واندا متروبوليتانو”، بنتيجة 2-1، بالجولة السادسة من الدوري الإسباني.

وكان ماريو هيرموسو الذي سجّل هدف التعادل في الدقيقة 83، ثم حصل على بطاقة صفراء في الدقيقة 89، وبالدقيقة 90+1 حصل على بطاقة صفراء ثانية، ليُطرد بالحمراء بعد تدخل على داني سيبايوس في ركلة ركنية.

وحسب صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، فإن في أتلتيكو مدريد يرون أن قرار حكم المباراة بمنح هيرموسو، بطاقة صفراء بعد جداله مع سيبايوس، قرار مُبالغ فيه.

وترى إدارة أتلتيكو مدريد أن قرار البطاقة الصفراء كان مُبالغًا فيه لكون أكثر من لاعب من الخصم (ريال مدريد)، تصرف مثل هيرموسو، ولم يحصل على أي بطاقة صفراء.

ويتوقع أتلتيكو مدريد أن يتم الموافقة على الاستئناف، وأن يكون هيرموسو قادرًا على التواجد في مباراة إشبيلية بشكل طبيعي بعد نهاية فترة التوقف الدولي، حيث يلتقي الفريقان في مباراة السبت 1 أكتوبر 2022. شاهد اهداف مباراة ريال مدريد واتليتكو مدريد

Wolves suffer potential Sven Botman blow

Wolves have suffered a blow in their quest to sign Lille centre-back Sven Botman, with Newcastle United linked with a move for the Dutchman.

The Lowdown: Wolves keen on Botman signing

Bruno Lage’s side are still stinging after Saturday’s late 1-0 defeat at home to Liverpool but they must ensure it doesn’t derail their season.

The hope is that new signings are made in the January transfer window and Botman is someone who has been linked with a move to Molineux.

The 21-year-old has started 10 Ligue 1 games for Lille so far this season and is considered a hugely promising young defender, being described as ‘brilliant’ by journalist Robin Bairner earlier this year.

The Latest: Newcastle emerge as contenders

Wolves now face competition in the race to sign Botman, however, with The Athletic‘s David Ornstein confirming on Twitter that Newcastle are ‘exploring the possibility’ of signing the nine-time capped Netherlands international in January.

Lille want to keep hold of the youngster until next summer but their head may be turned if an ‘exceptional’ offer arrives before then – surely worrying news for the likes of Wolves given the riches at Newcastle’s disposal.

[freshpress-quiz id=“375704”]

The Verdict: Potential big blow

In past circumstances, this news may not have been too big a blow for Wolves, with Newcastle not necessarily a more exciting proposition than them.

The Magpies have of course been taken over and are now extremely wealthy, though, so they may be able to offer Botman far higher wages than Fosun and co would even want to.

It would be a big blow to lose out on someone who appears to be a primary transfer target – the player himself even confirmed the interested – with the Lille man averaging an impressive 2.5 aerial duel wins per game in both the Champions League and Ligue 1 this season.

He has also completed 91.3% of his passes in Europe’s top competition, showing that he is strong in the air and talented on the ball.

Ndombele must start in Spurs’ crunch match

Antonio Conte must turn to the rarely-seen Tanguy Ndombele for Tottenham Hotspur’s upcoming festive fixtures, once they are able to return to action.

Sat just outside the top four and in need of a win in their final Europa Conference League group game, Spurs could do with someone of his calibre in the final third.

Conte and co are in need of some sort of saviour as his squad could be depleted going forward due to a viral outbreak amongst the Lilywhites camp this week – according to football.london, as many as seven first-team players have tested positive by a lateral flow test.

Provided Ndombele isn’t one of those, which he is unlikely to be after footage surfaced of training this week, he could hold the keys to Spurs enjoying some success in an absolute time of need.

He would provide the north Londoners with a player capable of driving the ball into the final third, and that’s what will be needed to boost their chances of transforming their fortunes in attack.

[snack-amp-story url = “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/tottenham-hotspur-latest-team-injury-team-news-updates-transfers-gossip-rumours-antonio-conte-thfc” title=”Read the latest Spurs news, transfer updates and much, much more!”]

After all, scoring goals has largely been the biggest problem facing the team, with leading striker Harry Kane sitting on just one goal in the Premier League so far this season.

Only Norwich City (10.7) have managed fewer shots per game than Spurs (10.9), via WhoScored, whilst they are inside the bottom seven teams for expected goals (17.83 xG), even though they are on the cusp of a top-four spot.

Despite only starting five top-flight games, Ndombele is among Conte’s most prolific ball-carriers, having averaged 2.4 successful dribbles per 90 minutes, which is only bettered by Lucas Moura (3.5) of those who have played more than 400 minutes this term.

Elsewhere, he is also capable of doing the ‘dirty work’, having managed 2.2 tackles per 90, too. That’s actually better than defenders such as Ben Davies (0.6) and Eric Dier (0.3).

Ndombele was once dubbed a “world-beater” who can be “unplayable” on his day by former Spurs teammate Joe Hart and it’s that level of performance that we need to see from him more often and consistently.

That said, he clearly poses a level of technical ability greater than the bulk of his teammates, which is why his presence is needed on the pitch, especially in the final third, in such a crucial run of fixtures.

The £26m-rated midfielder must start in Conte’s XI going forward.

Umpire Benson heading for retirement

The leading umpire Mark Benson iss planning to retire from the game with immediate effect following his sudden withdrawal from the Adelaide Test

Mark Benson is planning to retire from umpiring with immediate effect following his sudden withdrawal from the Adelaide Test. The Sunday Times has reported Benson was upset over several incidents involving the Umpire Decision Review System on day one of the second Test between Australia and West Indies, one of which led to his original decision being overturned.Benson twice ruled Shivnarine Chanderpaul not-out to caught-behind appeals on Friday, both of which were challenged by the Australians. The third umpire, Asad Rauf, upheld Benson’s first ruling, prompting an angry response from the bowler, Doug Bollinger, and the Australian captain, Ricky Ponting. But it is the second video review, which resulted in Chanderpaul being ruled out for 62, that is understood to have most upset the English official. Hot Spot replays showed no evidence of the ball striking the outside edge of Chanderpaul’s bat, however other camera angles provided Rauf with enough evidence to reverse Benson’s original ruling.Cricinfo has been told an irate Benson “ranted” to colleagues in the umpire’s room after the first day’s play about his dissatisfaction with the UDRS. He is believed to have said at the time that the new system “just makes (umpiring) harder”, however ICC officials were remaining tight-lipped on the matter on Sunday.David Morgan, the ICC president, told Cricinfo Benson was “poorly” and referred other questions to David Richardson, the ICC’s general manager, and Vintcent van der Bijl, the umpire’s manager. Chris Broad, the match referee who is presiding over the Adelaide Test, denied Benson’s swift departure from Adelaide was the result of unhappiness over the UDRS. “There is absolutely no truth in that at all,” Broad said. “The review system is new to everyone and you’ve got to get used to it. He was an advocate of the review system to help umpires out.”We spoke on the second morning and he said that he was feeling unwell. I was in India with him as well where he was unwell. We thought this might well be another situation like that we were in in India. We chatted about it and he said he didn’t feel as though he could go on the field again. We decided to leave him back in the hotel. I phoned Dubai and they decided that if it was a recurrence of high blood pressure or stomach problems he had in India he needed to get it sorted out. That was the reason that I was aware he went home.”ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat also denied Benson’s return to England was related to the UDRS. “This is completely untrue. Benson has been a strong supporter of the system and his return home has nothing to do with it,” he told . “”He is not well and that’s why he is returning home. I’m sure once he reached England, he would issue a clarification.”ICC sources have told Cricinfo, however, that report is indeed accurate, and an announcement from Benson is expected after his arrival into Britain. Precisely why Benson opted to leave Adelaide before the conclusion of the second Test remains unknown.Benson stood down from two one-day internationals involving Australia and India this year due to migraines, and previously experienced heart palpitations during a Test between South Africa and India in Durban. It is understood he did not visit a hospital in Adelaide before his departure on Saturday, despite “ill health” being cited by the ICC as the cause for his departure.Controversy has always followed umpires, but scrutiny has escalated of late. Darrell Hair resorted to legal avenues after he was sidelined by the ICC for his role in the forfeited Test at The Oval between England and Pakistan two years ago, while Steve Bucknor was benched for the latter stages of the Australia-India Test series two summers ago after the BCCI complained of errors.”There’s probably less pressure on the umpires now with a review system than there was beforehand,” Broad said. “Umpires would stand out there in the morning and captains and fielders would strut around not really knowing the result of it. With the review system they know the result straight away.”

Bari reveals plans for international cricket in Pakistan

Wasim Bari, the new PCB chief operating officer, has said Pakistan could see some international cricket within the next six months, which could herald a return to normalcy. He revealed a host of options he is pursuing to revive international cricket in Pakistan, including staging a series against arch-rivals India at a neutral venue, inviting a team of international players for a one-off Twenty20 game and having Sri Lanka visit Pakistan for a couple of Twenty20 internationals.”It’s certainly possible to have one or two international matches in Pakistan within the next six months,” Bari told the . “Once that happens, I’m sure that things will return to normal for Pakistan cricket.”What we need to do is to break the ice. We desperately want to stage international games and will work on several options to ensure that it happens sooner than later. It’s very important for our cricket to have regular matches against India. There is also this proposal of inviting a team like Sri Lanka for a couple of Twenty20 matches in Karachi.”Pakistan went off the radar as cricket hosts last March following the Lahore attacks when the visiting Sri Lankan cricketers were ambushed by unidentified gunmen on their way to the Gaddafi Stadium. Five cricketers, including Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, were injured in the attack that also killed six security men and two civiliansSoon after, the ICC decided to switch Pakistan’s share of 14 matches in the 2011 World Cup from the country because of security issues, leading experts to fear that international cricket might not return to Pakistan for the next several years.Bari, 61, a former Pakistan captain, who replaced Saleem Altaf as PCB COO, remained optimistic given the ICC’s assurance that it would provide complete support for the return of international cricket to Pakistan. “The ICC is very supportive and recently told us the security situation in Pakistan was improving, and that is certainly a good sign for us,” Bari said. “It is a slow process but we will look into all these opportunities for the betterment of Pakistan cricket.”He said he and other senior PCB officialswould also keep in touch with the security authorities in a bid to ensure that the game makes a swift return. “It is very important to keep constant liaison with the government officials because they are the main stakeholders,” Bari said.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
South Africa women came back to level the series with a seven-wicket win over West Indies women in Cape Town.Sunette Loubser’s decision to field was vindicated by her bowling attack, which snapped a steady second-wicket stand at 62 and kept the pressure on West Indies thereafter. Wickets fell at 88, 89, 100, 104 (twice) and 128, after which Shanel Daley’s unbeaten 38 from 51 balls got the score to 182. Dane van Niekerk had figures of 3 for 25, Loubser picked up 2 for 25, and Marcia Letsoalo (1 for 23) and Charlize van der Westhuizen (1 for 20) were extremely parsimonious.South Africa paced their chase well, and from 44 for 2 were eased home by Cri-zelda Brits (31), Mignon du Preez (68 not out) and Alicia Smith (35 not out). du Preez and Smith added 58 to seal the win.
