Juan não desanima com derrota do Fla: 'Temos condições de reverter'

MatériaMais Notícias

O Flamengo chegou a sair na frente, mas depois levou a virada para o Independiente no primeiro jogo da final da Sul-Americana, na noite desta quarta-feira, na Argentina. No entanto, o placar de 2 a 1 não desanima Juan. O capitão rubro-negro disse que o time tem condições de conseguir vencer no Maracanã e conquistar o título

-Valeu, lutamos. O jogo foi difícil, em um campo muito difícil. Mesmo assim perdemos pelo placar mínimo. Agora vamos jogar em casa, com o apoio da nossa torcida. O que nós sofremos aqui, eles vão sofrer lá. Temos condições de reverter – disse Juan na saída do gramado à ‘TV Globo’.

Na decisão da competição, não existe o critério de gol fora de casa. Por isso, o Fla terá que ganhar por dois gols de diferença para conquistar o título direto (vitória por um gol leva para a prorrogação e empate dá o título para o Independiente). Juan evitou reclamar disso, mas se mostrou contrariado com a situação.

– Não tem como reclamar. Acho que eles fazem tudo mais complicado, jogam o campeonato inteiro com uma regra e na final é outra – disse.

Flamengo e Independiente decidem o título da Sul-Americana na próxima quarta-feira, às 21h45, no Maracanã.

Lee retires from Tests but aims for 2011 World Cup

Brett Lee has retired from Test cricket after admitting his body could no longer handle the demands of the five-day game

Brett Lee, Australia’s fourth-highest wicket-taker, has retired from Test cricket after admitting his body could no longer handle the demands of the five-day game. Lee has decided to focus on ODIs and Twenty20s as he aims to rejoin Australia’s team and collect a second World Cup trophy in 2011.”I’m not 21, I’m 33,” Lee told Seven. “Trying to bowl at 150kph for five days is very hard on the body.”Lee, who took 310 wickets in 76 Tests, said his most special achievement was playing for more than a decade in Australia’s top team. His final game in a baggy green was in Melbourne in 2008 and he limped off towards the end of the match with a fractured left foot, which required an operation and another long lay-off.An untimely side strain kept him out of the first three 2009 Ashes Tests and he was angry to miss the final two matches when the series was at stake. The selectors doubted he could last five days and were quickly proved right. Lee was approaching peak form again during the Champions Trophy, but was forced home from the one-day tour of India with an elbow problem.When the injury required surgery he took time out to decide whether he wanted to go through another extended recovery. Cutting his workload became the only option and the decision also keeps him closer to his young son Preston.During his time at the top Lee suffered career-threatening elbow and foot injuries, but was able to return to the Test team each time and regain his high speeds. While he spent much of his career behind Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie as a high-voltage weapon, he also proved he could lead the attack after McGrath retired.In series against Sri Lanka, India and West Indies in 2007 and 2008 he captured 58 wickets in nine matches but was unable to keep up the pace. He suffered with a serious stomach bug in India later that year, which robbed him of weight and impact in the Tests, and struggled in Australia’s home campaign. He picked up the tenth and final five-wicket haul of his career against New Zealand in Adelaide but took only one wicket in two matches against South Africa before hobbling away, ultimately forever.Lee will follow in the footsteps of Andrew Flintoff and Jacob Oram in becoming a limited-overs specialist. He has an IPL contract with Kings XI Punjab worth US$900,000 a season and strong business and music interests in India. There is also another World Cup trophy to hope for.

Newcastle transfer news on Badiashile

Fabrizio Romano has backed up previous reports that Newcastle United are now ‘keen’ on signing Benoit Badiashile in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Botman off?

Romano has confirmed that the deal to try and bring Sven Botman to St. James’ Park has ‘collapsed’, meaning that they will now have to look at other targets in the centre-back area.

They have conceded no fewer than 42 goals the Premier League so far this season, the second-worst in the division, and so bringing in a new central defender should help improve that number.

Nick Hammond has already secured the signings of Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood, and the North East club can now target the centre-half position over the next few days.

The Latest: Badiashile interest

As per Romano, the Tyneside outfit are now ‘keen’ on doing a deal for Badiashile, although West Ham United are also ‘interested’ in his signature, and the AS Monaco ace has recently picked up an injury:

“Newcastle are keen on Benoit Badiashile after Botman deal collapsed. West Ham are also interested. Nothing agreed yet.

“From today’s medical tests, AS Monaco expect Badiashile to be back with the team in 2-3 weeks. Timing will be key to understand next steps.”

The Italian’s update comes after previous reports from The Sun believed the clubs to be ‘in talks’ over a deal.

The Verdict: Sign

If the Botman deal cannot be done, then the Magpies need to bring in another centre-back fast, as crucial games like the one at home to Watford on Saturday afternoon are coming thick and fast.

Although Badiashile has no experience in England, he has been playing at a high level in Ligue 1 and in the UEFA Europa League, despite being just 20 years of age.

Described as a ‘tenacious’, ‘strong’ and ‘fast’ player by Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, the Frenchman has a bit of everything, and could certainly thrive in the Premier League.

Nonetheless, if Eddie Howe’s team can scoop him up in this window ahead of David Moyes’ high-flying Hammers, then it would represent a real sign of intent.

Carille é trunfo para Corinthians fechar com Renê Júnior por três anos

MatériaMais Notícias

Após o fim do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Corinthians deve avançar em negociações nesta semana. Uma das tratativas mais próximas de se concretizar é a com o volante Renê Júnior, que tem contrato com o Bahia apenas até o fim desta temporada. Uma reunião nos próximos dias deve selar o acordo por três anos do jogador com o Timão.

Renê Júnior já foi alvo do Corinthians em 2015, justamente quando conheceu Fábio Carille, provavelmente seu técnico em 2018. Na época, o volante operou o púbis, fez tratamento no CT Joaquim Grava e conversava bastante com o então auxiliar de Tite.

Hoje aos 28 anos, Renê Júnior recebeu outras sondagens, mas gostou da possibilidade de trabalhar com Carille e defender o atual campeão brasileiro. Assim, ele deu aval para seu empresário, Fernando Garcia, acertar os detalhes de seu contrato com a diretoria alvinegra. Seu agente, aliás, também eum trunfo na negociação, já que tem ótimo trânsito no Corinthians.

Carille, por sua vez, aprovou o nome de Renê Júnior. Como revelou há dez dias ao LANCE!, o treinador acredita que a versatilidade do volante é um dos motivos para tê-lo no elenco.

– Eu já vi o Renê jogar de tudo. É uma necessidade? Não. Mas qualifica o grupo? Sim. Se buscar 2012, pela Ponte, ele jogou aberto marcando o Edenilson naquele jogo que fomos desclassificados no Paulista. Então ele joga como primeiro volante, mais adiantado, e se precisar faz uma função mais de lado também – afirmou Carille.

Atualmente, o Corinthians conta com oito volantes em seu elenco: Gabriel, Camacho, Maycon, Paulo Roberto, Fellipe Bastos, Marciel (joga na lateral esquerda), Warian e Mantuan.

Razzaq, bowlers take Sialkot to title

Sialkot Stallions breezed through Faisalabad Wolves to lift the RBS Twenty20 Cup at the National Stadium

ScorecardSialkot Stallions celebrate their five-wicket win in the RBS Cup final•Shakir Khilji

Sialkot Stallions confirmed their status as the pre-eminent Twenty20 side in the land, beating Faisalabad Wolves at a packed National Stadium in Karachi to lift their fifth consecutive RBS Twenty20 Cup.A raucous 30,000-plus crowd – thousands of fans were left outside the stadium trying to get in and roads leading up to the stadium were choked full – turned up to watch what should have been a tense encounter between the two best sides in the country, but once Sialkot’s opening bowlers had crippled Faisalabad’s start, the result was never in doubt, the defending champions ultimately cruising to a five-wicket win.Having won the toss and chosen to bat, Faisalabad’s troubles began early, the in-form and ever-dangerous Asif Hussain inside edging Asif onto his stumps. That set the tone for an exemplary spell from Asif, honing in on a typically difficult length and getting the usual cut. He was unlucky not to get at least one more wicket, eventually conceding only nine runs in his four overs.The pressure paid off at the other end, Mohammad Salman and Ali Waqas falling in quick succession to Abdul Razzaq, both to poor shots; Waqas had been lucky to survive that far, given not out for a clear edge off Asif. Nineteen for 3 after four overs meant Faisalabad were desperately looking towards man of the moment Mohammad Hafeez to come through.Hafeez had been outstanding in the semi-final with the tournament’s first hundred and looked set for another big hand when lofting two big sixes over the on side off a Razzaq over. But just when things were looking up, misfortune struck. Khurram Shehzad patted a stroke back to Abdur Rehman, who had just come on to bowl. Smartly Rehman turned the ball back on to the non-striker’s stumps, with Hafeez, backing up, well short.That turned the innings and Rehman trapped Shehzad off the last ball of the same over with a lovely arm ball. The arm ball struck again in his next over, Zeeshan Butt sent back this time, caught brilliantly by Shoaib Malik at cover diving to his left.At 56 for 6, Sialkot were right on top and the fall of wickets suffocated the opposition – they managed only one boundary in the next four overs. Misbah-ul-Haq tried to steer his side to some kind of total and with Shahid Nazir at least ensured they didn’t lose more wickets. But he fell eventually, trying to cut loose and holing out to deep midwicket off Sarfraz Ahmed for 27. Rana Naved-ul-Hasan uprooted Mohammad Talha’s middle stump with a yorker in the final over as Faisalabad ended with an unsatisfactory 109. That they didn’t get bowled out was the only saving grace.Imran Nazir began the chase like he wanted to finish it off in five overs, hitting a four and a six off the first two balls. But as is often the way with him, the cameo was shorter than it was sweet and he was back in the pavilion after the third ball, spooning it straight to cover.Mansoor Amjad fell the next over to spark a little hope in Faisalabad, but Rana, fresh from a near-hundred at one down, pinch-hit his way to 27 with five fours and a six. Even when Malik fell to leave Sialkot 56 for four, the result wasn’t really in doubt, so strong is their line-up. Razzaq, who joined them this season after snubbing his home team Lahore, continued his contributions, smacking four consecutive fours off Talha to hasten the victory march.The only blip came by way of some crowd trouble in the 15th over when Hafeez threatened to take his team off the field after some bottles were thrown from a boisterous crowd. He didn’t go off and soon after, Adeel Malik, Shoaib’s younger brother, sealed the deal with a succession of boundaries to maintain Sialkot’s supremacy in this format. With the team that they have, the PCB may well rue their decision to not allow a local team to represent Pakistan in the Champions League.

Wolves prepared to snub Doherty reunion

Wolves are ready to turn down the opportunity to re-sign Matt Doherty from Tottenham this month, according to a fresh transfer rumour.

The Lowdown: Doherty tipped for Wolves return

The 29-year-old has struggled to make a significant impact at Spurs since leaving Molineux in 2020, making just 42 appearances in the last couple of seasons.

As such, Doherty has been linked with a return to Wolves in the January transfer window, in a move that could potentially go down well with Wanderers supporters given his incredible production in his last spell with the club, scoring 28 times in over 300 appearances..

If a new report is to be believed, however, the 25-cap Republic of Ireland international will not be making his way back to the Midlands.

The Latest: Contrasting rumour emerges

According to The Mirror, Wolves are ‘ready to snub’ a return for Doherty, with the player himself not thought to be keen on the idea of a move back.

The right-back still wants to remain in the Premier League, however, and an exit from Spurs could still be on the cards.

The Verdict: Could be an error

Doherty was a brilliant servant for Wanderers over many years, so the idea of missing out on a reunion with him is disappointing.

Granted, the former Black Country star is about to turn 30 later this month but he has been hailed as ‘absolutely superb’ by Danny Mills in the past and his attacking quality is undeniable, having registered 41 assists for Wolves last time out – that sort of creativity from the flank would not go amiss.

He would provide ideal competition and support for Nelson Semedo, adding depth in a position that requires players to maintain an immense level of fitness.

Ireland have named a full-strength squad for the World Twenty20 in West Indies with Boyd Rankin, the tall pace bowler, fit again after a foot injury to take his place in the 15-man party led by William Porterfield.Ireland are grouped with England and West Indies during the first phase of the tournament and will be aiming to repeat their success from the 2009 event when they reached the Super Eights. With England having an indifferent Twenty20 record and the hosts in the midst of rebuilding Ireland shouldn’t be underestimated.Alongside Rankin and Porterfield, Ireland can call on the county experience of the O’Brien brothers – Niall and Kevin – Gary Wilson, the Surrey reserve wicketkeeper, and Paul Stirling who has signed a contract with Middlesex.Meanwhile, Ireland cricket has been boosted by an extra €100,000 of investment from team sponsor RSA insurance which will cover Ireland’s pre World Twenty20 warm-up tour of Jamaica and the one-day international against Australia in June.”RSA’s major sponsorship of our headline cricket teams, in addition to their continuing support for our marquee events, is to be applauded,” said Warren Deutrom, the Cricket Ireland CEO. “The upcoming World Twenty20 and the RSA Challenge match against Australia in June are superb platforms to demonstrate Ireland’s pedigree at the top level and we are confident that we will again showcase our proven abilities on the world stage”.Squad William Porterfield (capt), Peter Connell, Alex Cusack, George Dockrell, Trent Johnston, Nigel Jones, Gary Kidd, John Mooney, Kevin O’Brien, Niall O’Brien, Boyd Rankin, Paul Stirling, Andrew White, Gary Wilson

Celtic dealt huge Daizen Maeda blow

Celtic have been dealt a huge blow regarding the availability of Daizen Maeda.

What’s the latest?

According to a recent report by Sky Sports, the 24-year-old has been called up by Japan for their World Cup qualifying fixtures against China on January 27 and Saudi Arabia on February 1.

The report added that the centre-forward will duly miss league matches against Hearts and Dundee United, as well as the Old Firm clash on February 2. Ange Postecoglou will be left with only Giorgos Giakoumakis as an out-and-out centre-forward for this period, as Kyogo Furuhashi is also currently unavailable for selection due to injury.

Earlier reports had initially suggested that Celtic’s Japanese internationals could be set to remain in Glasgow for their country’s upcoming international fixtures, as their country’s government had imposed a ban on the entry of all foreigners, but it now appears that an exception has been made for Maeda.

Postecoglou will be fuming

Considering how impressive Maeda was for Celtic on his debut against Hibernian earlier this week, and that the 24-year-old’s impending departure means that Postecoglou will be left with only Giakoumakis as an option up front for the end of the month, it is sure to have left the 56-year-old manager fuming.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/?post_type=web-story&p=664142″ title=”Check out the latest Celtic news!”]

Indeed, over his 74 minutes on the pitch against Hibs, the £1.44m-rated Japan ace scored one goal, found a team-mate with 80% of his passes, completed his one attempted dribble and made one interception. These returns saw the forward earn a SofaScore match rating of 7.3, ranking him as the Hoops’ fifth-best player to feature on the night.

As such, the fact that Celtic will be unable to call upon the Japanese hitman for three crucial fixtures in the coming weeks will undoubtedly come as a huge blow to the club’s hopes of picking up maximum points from the games in question. That could well have disastrous consequences for the Bhoys’ Premiership title hopes this season.
