زوران مانولوفيتش في المؤتمر الصحفي بعد المباراة: “مستحيل أن يفوز فريق كرة قدم بأي مباراة بعد إهداره ركلتي جزاء، ومحمد الشناوي استطاع أن يتصدى لـ5 فرص مؤكدة”.

وأضاف: “لعبنا المباراة الماضية بشكل جيد، واليوم أيضًا أمام الأهلي، ولكن لم نكن موفقين في تسجيل أهداف”.

وأردف: “محمود علاء سجل كل ركلات الجزاء مع الزمالك من قبل، وأول ركلة جزاء بقميص الاتحاد أضاعها، ولم يقرر أحد من يُسدد الركلة الثانية، ولكن أحمد عادل ميسي تقدم وأهدرها أيضًا”.

واختتم: “كان لنا ركلتي جزاء أمام الأهلي، بالإضافة إلى ما تم احتسابهما اليوم”.

وكان محمود علاء قد انضم إلى صفوف الاتحاد السكندري مطلع الموسم الحالي قادمًا من الزمالك.

Para o santista, com certeza, uma atuação como a de Vanderlei, na última quinta-feira, não passa de apenas mais uma, algo corriqueiro, um jogo qualquer em que o melhor goleiro em atividade no país (com respeito às opiniões diferentes) salvou o time de uma derrota. No entanto, essa sequência de milagres não é comum aos olhos estrangeiros, que o elegeram o melhor da partida, e não pouparam elogios após a partida no Estádio Centenário, em Quilmes.

Essa apresentação incrível por pouco não aconteceu. No treino da última quarta-feira, já na Argentina, onde no dia seguinte enfrentaria o Estudiantes, Vanderlei levou uma bolada em uma de suas mãos e precisou passar por um tratamento intensivo para poder entrar em campo e brilhar outra vez com a camisa do Peixe.

– Foi uma bolada na mão, está roxa aqui, mas é coisa normal do futebol. Estamos sujeitos a isso, a sempre ter lesões, mas consegui recuperar bem. A nossa fisioterapia conseguiu recuperar minha mão. A gente quer entrar em campo e fazer nosso melhor como foi hoje – declarou humildemente o camisa 1 do Santos.

É verdade que a tática adotada pelos santistas chamou o Estudiantes para o seu campo e, assim, proporcionou que o clube argentino chegasse mais vezes perto do gol. Inconscientemente ou não, só usa esse tipo de estratégia um time e uma comissão técnica que confia plenamente em seu goleiro, até porque esse goleiro entrega sempre o que se espera dele, ou mais.

A primeira grande defesa de Vanderlei aconteceu seis minutos antes de o Santos abrir o placar e marcar o gol da vitória. O zagueiro Schunke subiu muito e cabeceou forte, obrigando o goleiro santista ao primeiro milagre. Um gol, naquele momento, mudaria completamente a história do jogo. O Estudiantes fazia uma pressão enorme e, se concretizasse uma chance, poderia ‘abrir a porteira’.

É nessas horas que o craque faz a diferença, muda a ‘chavinha’ da partida, impõe o respeito e mostra, com defesas, que o time adversário poderia jogar o tempo que fosse necessário, porque naquele dia nada entraria. E foi assim, com mais nove defesas, três delas de alta dificuldade, duas nos dez minutos finais, que foi garantida mais uma vitória do Peixe na Libertadores.

Vanderlei não deve disputar a Copa do Mundo, injustiça talvez seja uma palavra forte, talvez lamente-se a falta de chances ao goleiro na Seleção Brasileira. O torcedor santista, porém, já elegeu o seu herói e já o convocou para o patamar de santo milagreiro, com um altar próprio, à espera de mais milagres, com a certeza de que eles irão acontecer.

A audiência desta segunda-feira entre Gustavo Scarpa e Fluminense terminou sem desfecho. A juíza Dalva Macedo, da 70ª Vara do Trabalho, pediu para que as partes apresentem considerações finais do processo em dez dias úteis, conforme publicou o “Globo Esporte”.

Até lá, a juíza vetou o pedido do atleta de que seu contrato com o Palmeiras voltasse a valer. Ele, assim, permanece por enquanto vinculado ao Flu, algo esperado, por ainda não haver uma decisão sobre o caso. A previsão é de que o processo termine em até um mês.

Scarpa fechou com o Verdão graças a uma liminar que havia rescindido seu contrato com o Fluminense. Ele alega no processo ter mais de R$ 9 milhões a receber do Tricolor, referentes a salários, férias e 13º atrasados, além parcelas do FGTS, mas o clube carioca conseguiu cassar esta liminar.

Isto fez com que o vínculo de cinco anos com o Palmeiras fosse suspenso, e o contrato com o Fluminense novamente registrado na CBF. O jogador e seus advogados, porém, creem que conseguirão vencer na Justiça, tanto que ele, mesmo sem poder usar a Academia de Futebol, não se reapresentou nas Laranjeiras.

O Verdão acompanha o caso à distância e aguarda o desfecho. Consta no contrato firmado com Scarpa que o Palmeiras está desobrigado a arcar com a multa rescisória em caso de derrota judicial. O jogador aceitou assumir os custos. Por enquanto, também não se pensa na Academia de Futebol em oferecer jogadores para encerrar a ação.

Advogado do Fluminense mostra confiança

É quase impensável que Gustavo Scarpa volte a vestir a camisa do Fluminense, mesmo com uma vitória tricolor no processo. Isso porque depois de toda novela, a torcida não vê uma volta do jogador com bons olhos. No entanto, para o advogado do Flu, Rui Meier, o clube receberia o atleta de braços abertos.

– Tudo vai depender do que a juíza decidir. O Fluminense conversou com o atleta e seus representantes na semana passada, mas não chegamos a um acordo. Se ela der a favor, o clube estará disponível para o Scarpa vir jogar. Se for o contrário, ele estará liberado até que a decisão seja revertida. O vínculo, hoje, é com o Flu, mas o jogador optou por não se reapresentar, uma faculdade legal dele. O Fluminense está sempre aberto a um acordo. Acreditamos numa solução positiva, dependendo de as partes se conciliarem. Agora é sentença e recurso para quem perder. Estou confiante que teremos sucesso – disse.

A dominant performance by Matabeleland Tuskers saw them beat Mid West Rhinos by 177 runs and move to second position in the Logan Cup table

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Mar-2011A dominant performance by Matabeleland Tuskers saw them beat Mid West Rhinos by 177 runs at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, and move to second position in the Logan Cup table. Tuskers had a 95-run first-innings lead by early on the third day, but it was in their second innings that they really pressed home the advantage and set up the win.Openers Paul Horton and Gavin Ewing tore into the Rhinos bowlers and scored 119 each, at strike-rates of 123.95 and 83.80 respectively. The quick scoring was continued by the rest of the batsmen and Tuskers reached 335 in just 54.5 overs, giving themselves plenty of time to bowl Rhinos out.Staring at a mammoth target of 431 to win, Rhinos lost early wickets, and despite a half-century from Roland Benade at No.8, never looked like surviving. They were bowled out 42 overs into the fourth day, with seamers Thabo Mboyi and Njabulo Ncube taking three wickets each.In the first innings, most of Tusker’s top-order batsmen got starts, but it took half-centuries from Steven Trenchard at No. 5 and Tafadzwa Ngulube at No.7 to get them up to 393. Rhinos were then bowled out for 298, but it would have been much less if not for the efforts of Riki Wessels, whose 146 was the highest score in the match

While runs were aplenty in Bulawayo, they were in short supply at the Masvingo Sports Club, where table-toppers Mountaineers beat Southern Rocks by nine wickets inside three days in a low-scoring affair. Twenty-year-old seamer Tendai Chatara proved too much to handle for Rocks, who were bowled out for 177 and 94 in their two innings, with Chatara taking 6 for 33 in the first and 5 for 16 in the second.In between, half-centuries from Tino Mawoyo and Timycen Maruma helped Mountaineers reach 218 in their first innings. Rocks’ seamer Brian Vitori took 6 for 55, but there was not much he could do after his team’s batting line-up collapsed in their second attempt, leaving Mountaineers just 54 to win on the third day.

فجر مدرب مهاجم منتخب الأرجنتين الأول، جوليان ألفاريز، مفاجأة من العيار الثقيل حول مستقبل بطل كأس العالم الجديد مع التانجو حال الرحيل عن مانشستر سيتي.

وأنضم ألفاريز إلى صفوف مانشستر سيتي في الميركاتو الصيفي الماضي قادمًا من صفوف ريفر بليت، ورغم عدم مشاركته أساسيًا مع مدربه، بيب جوارديولا، إلا أنه كان لاعبًا مهمًا مع الأرجنتين طوال كأس العالم قطر 2022.

خضع الأرجنتيني لاختبار صيفي في عمر الـ 11 عامًا مع نادي ريال مدريد، عندما كان ضمن صفوف نادي أتلتيكو كالشين في مسقط رأسه.

بالتالي هناك علاقة قديمة بين ألفاريز وريال مدريد، وقال المدرب السابق له، رافائيل فارجاس خلال حوار مع الإذاعة الأرجنتينية “كونتينتال AM 590”: “أعتقد انه في أي وقت يمكنه ارتداء قميص الملكي”.

لكن هذا لا يعني رحيله عن مانشستر سيتي خاصة وأن اللاعب قد انضم للتو إلى النادي الإنجليزي بقيمة 18.5 مليون يورو بجانب 10 ملايين آخرين كمتغيرات.

Na abertura da quarta rodada do Grupo 4 da Libertadores, Santa Fe e Flamengo duelam nesta quarta-feira, no Estádio El Campín, às 21h45. O confronto tornou-se decisivo e uma vitória como visitante encaminha a classificação do Rubro-Negro para a próxima fase do torneio continental.

Flamengo e River Plate fazem uma campanha praticamente idêntica na chave. Ambos possuem uma vitória e dois empates e somam cinco pontos, mas o time da Gávea marcou dois gols a mais, o que o coloca na liderança isolada.

O Santa Fe é o terceiro colocado com três pontos e, caso vença nesta quarta, ultrapassará o Flamengo. O lanterna Emelec tem um ponto, mas ainda tem chances de classificação. Na quinta, enfrenta o River Plate em Buenos Aires.

A principal dúvida do Flamengo para a partida é o meia Diego, que, desde a última quinta-feira, realiza tratamento na coxa direita. A tendência é que o camisa 10 reforce a equipe após ficar de fora do duelo com o América-MG.

ESPNcricinfo previews the crunch Group B game between Bangladesh and South Africa in Mirpur

The Preview by Sidharth Monga18-Mar-2011

Match FactsMarch 19, Mirpur
Start time 09.30 am (03.30 GMT)The Big PictureThe back-door is shut now. Had West Indies won their game last night, Bangladesh would have made it through to the quarter-finals. As it turned out, the game between West Indies and England twisted and turned, went inside-out, upside-down, before England bit another bullet and stayed alive in the tournament. Surely about a 1000 miles north, the Bangladesh players watched in hope and later in agony in their team hotel in Dhaka. Thanks to that result, Bangladesh are now a point behind England, and a long way behind every contender in terms of net run-rate. There is an upside too: Bangladesh no longer need to watch helplessly, hoping for some other team to do what is desirable for them.It’s relatively simple now: beat South Africa and go through, no who-does-what elsewhere in the group. However, just the thought and the equation are simple, not actually beating South Africa, whose pace attack – even on the slow and low pitch at Mirpur – will provide the hosts with their biggest test. South Africa have also been on a bit of a roll, their tight win against India cancelling out the close defeat to England. They will want to finish at the top of the table, and hence face the fourth-placed team in Group A. Given how this World Cup has gone, it might not be the most desirable thing to do, for it could mean they might have to face Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka.There is no reason why Bangladesh shouldn’t back themselves, though. They have beaten South Africa in a World Cup before, they have the advantage of home conditions, they have had back-to-back wins, but they also know this is not going to be easy. It’s been a funny World Cup so far: Bangladesh, bowled out for 58 by West Indies, were supporting West Indies yesterday; England, great rivals of South Africa, will be supporting South Africa tomorrow, as will be West Indies.Graeme Smith certainly doesn’t want to miss a poke at England. “I think English fans are getting used to supporting South Africans these days,” he said on the eve of this game.What happens if…South Africa win: Bangladesh are knocked out, and India, England and West Indies go through
Bangladesh win: Bangladesh go through, leaving West Indies a must-win game against India
The game is tied or no-result: England go through thanks to a superior net run-rate, and Bangladesh are left hoping West Indies lose their game on SundayForm guide(completed matches, most recent first)
Bangladesh WWLWL
South Africa WWLWWThe Bangladesh part of the World Cup returns to Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, where Bangladesh will like a turning surface, but it is not quite possible to create a rank turner in Mirpur. The best they can manage is the low and slow pitch that they rolled out for Ireland. There is no rain forecast, and there shouldn’t be too much of early-morning freshness for this day game, because the sun is already about three-and-a-half hours old by the 9.30 am start in Bangladesh.Watch out for…Bangladesh’s best batsman, Tamim Iqbal, hasn’t had a great World Cup, and he knows how much rests on him. He will want to set that record straight, and make sure this is not his last chance in the tournament.
Graeme Smith has had his share of problems at the top of the order, but playing Bangladesh in Bangladesh provides him with a fairly good challenge before the knockouts.Team newsBangladesh won’t make too many changes to their winning combination, except that offspinner Naeem Islam is likely to replace left-arm spinner Suhrawadi Shuvo, on account of a few left-hand batsmen in the South African line-up.
Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Junaid Siddique, 4 Shahriar Nafees, 5 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Suhrawadi Shuvo / Naeem Islam, 9 Abdur Razzak, 10 Shafiul Islam, 11 Rubel Hossain.South Africa are back to full fitness, and Imran Tahir may come back in place of either Johan Botha or Robin Peterson. If AB de Villiers comes back, he might not keep, which might mean that Colin Ingram, despite his 46 against Ireland, might have to sit out.South Africa (probable): 1 Graeme Smith (capt), 2 Hashim Amla, 3 Jacques Kallis, 4 AB de Villiers, 5 JP Duminy, 6 Faf du Plessis, 7 Morne van Wyk (wk), 8 Johan Botha / Imran Tahir, 9 Robin Peterson, 10 Dale Steyn, 11 Morne MorkelNo Bangladesh batsman has scored a World Cup century.The only time Bangladesh have beaten South Africa in international cricket was in Providence in the previous World Cup.AB de Villiers, with 318 runs from four innings, is the only middle-order batsman in the top-six run-getters of the tournament so far.Quotes”We are on the right track and moving forward to our target as we already have won three matches out of five as per our expectation. Everything is okay with the team, but still we believe that we are yet to play our best cricket in the tournament.”

“They need to win the game. We expect a very passionate crowd. They will also be the team under pressure so we hope to be able to force them into doing things they wouldn’t want to do.”

Gladstone Dainty, John Thickett, Ram Varadarajan and Dr. Asif Ahmad have been appointed by the USACA board of directors to fill the four seats from USACA on the Cricket Holdings America LLC board

Peter Della Penna05-May-2011

Gladstone Dainty, John Thickett, Ram Varadarajan and Dr. Asif Ahmad have been appointed by the USACA board of directors to fill the four seats from USACA on the Cricket Holdings America LLC board. According to Thickett, the USACA Treasurer, the four men were elected in a vote held on April 29 by the USACA board of directors.”One of the things that I believe will be good for US cricket is actually bringing in people from outside USACA and broadening the roles of involvement of people outside of USACA who have a link to cricket and who can do a lot of good work, but they don’t necessarily have to be on the USACA board,” Thickett told ESPNcricinfo.Cricket Holdings America LLC was formed as a partnership in December between New Zealand Cricket, USACA, Australian-based marketing company Insite, Top Bloom and Podar Holding International. The entity will hold the majority of commercial rights to cricket in the USA, including the formation of a Twenty20 league and the staging of international matches.One of the chief duties of the four USACA representatives on the CHA board will be deciding how to distribute USACA’s portion of any profits that come through deals signed by CHA. Thickett has sketched a plan for what he feels would be an ideal method of profit distribution among the stakeholders of US cricket.”I’m approaching this from my role as the treasurer so I know how much money USACA’s spending and needs for a robust national operation and then wanting to give enough out for the regions and leagues,” Thickett said. “This is very early days and it needs to be discussed and debated, but I’ve got it down to USACA having for its national teams and operations, 40% of the money. I’d recommend putting 20% in a reserve fund for the long term. I would put in 20% of the money for the regions and then we’ve also put down the final 20% going out for the leagues that make up the regions as well so they can do some grassroots development in the individual leagues as well.”However, Thickett would like to organise town hall-style meetings in order to explain what Cricket Holdings America is about and offer a chance for stakeholders to give their own opinions on how the money that funnels down to USACA should be used.”The question for all the stakeholders in US cricket is to how to take this money and invest it,” Thickett said. “In the 45 or 46 years history of USACA, I don’t think it’s ever really had major positive cashflow. It’s always been kind of scraping by. I call it guerilla financing. Now with the license fee coming in from the LLC, there’s a reasonable cashflow to do a number of things.”We’ve papered out some ideas that we want to share with the board and the regions, the leagues that make them up and get everyone’s input. We want a period of consultation where people can input how this money is to be invested for the future.”It is unclear who else was nominated for the four positions represented by USACA on the CHA board, but the selection of Varadarajan is remarkable from the standpoint that he ran against Dainty for the position of USACA President in the 2008 election in which Dainty defeated him by a narrow three-vote margin. It had been rumored that Varadarajan would run for the same position in this year’s election as well and his appointment to the CHA board has already had an effect on regional elections.Varadarajan was nominated and expected to win the role of North West Region representative on the USACA board of directors, but in a USACA press release sent out on Tuesday announcing election results for the newly formed North West and South West region boards, his name was withdrawn from consideration for that position. The press release also stated that Nina Ahmad, the wife of Dr. Asif Ahmad, was also withdrawn as a nominee for the position of South West Region representative on the USACA board.There is no known requirement stipulating that Varadarajan or anyone else cannot hold positions on both the USACA and CHA boards at the same time, especially considering the fact that Thickett and Dainty will be serving on each board. Thickett, who ran on the same ticket with Varadarajan in the 2008 election, is pleased to have him on the CHA board.
