A situação envolvendo o interesse do Grêmio no atacante paraguaio Isidro Pitta, nome com direitos ligados ao Huesca-ESP, entrou em compasso de espera. Isso porque, segundo informação veiculada pelo jornalista Venê Casagrande e confirmada pelo Futebol Latino, existe uma divergência em relação à questão financeira.
Isso porque a proposta feita pelo Tricolor dava conta de valor equivalente a 220 mil euros (cotados na atualidade em R$ 1,2 milhão) para que o clube da Espanha cedesse por empréstimo o jogador, de 23 anos, até dezembro de 2023.

Todavia, apesar de não ter inicialmente planos de aproveitar o jogador sul-americano na segunda divisão espanhola, o Huesca fez uma contra-proposta ao clube gaúcho com o mesmo prazo de empréstimo, porém pedindo 350 mil euros. Quantia essa que, na atual cotação, equivale a R$ 1,9 milhão.
Dentro desse grau de investimento, a informação seria de que a diretoria gremista não estaria disposta a pagar para ter os serviços do atacante que, na última temporada, marcou oito gols e deu três assistências durante os 42 compromissos realizados com a camisa do Juventude.
Nos bastidores, não existe uma desistência definitiva pela contratação do jogador paraguaio. Entretanto, a quantia bem acima do inicialmente proposto trouxe um clima pessimista ao negócio e, caso não haja uma mudança abrupta no cenário (redução do valor e/ou aplicação vinda de investidor externo), o alvo para o setor ofensivo gremista deve ser alterado.
Shoaib Bashir is in contention to make his England debut in the second Test at Visakhapatnam on Friday

Brendon McCullum has said that Shoaib Bashir is in contention to make his England debut in the second Test at Visakhapatnam on Friday, and has floated the possibility of fielding an all-spin attack at some stage in his side’s five-match series in India.Bashir linked up with the squad in Hyderabad on Sunday after a lengthy delay in the processing of his visa forced him to fly back to London from England’s training camp in Abu Dhabi, rather than straight to India. He has a sparse first-class record, with 10 wickets in six matches, but England’s management believe his attributes could suit Indian conditions.The touring party arrived in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday with doubts remaining over Jack Leach’s fitness ahead of the second Test, after a heavily bruised knee limited him to short spell in Hyderabad. But if Leach is passed fit and the pitch at the ACA-VDCA ground looks dry, it is not impossible that England could play all four of their spinners together.Related

England used Mark Wood as their lone seamer in their turnaround 28-run victory in Hyderabad and he had limited impact across both innings, sending down 25 wicketless overs. And while James Anderson, Gus Atkinson and Ollie Robinson will come into the picture at some stage, McCullum raised the prospect of England going into a Test without a seam option.”Bash, he was obviously with us during our camp in Abu Dhabi and he really impressed with his skillset,” McCullum told SENZ radio. “He fitted in seamlessly within the group and he’s a guy who’s got an immense amount of enthusiasm, albeit at a young age and pretty limited in his first-class experience.”Like Tom Hartley, he was a guy who we looked at and we thought he’s got some skills which could assist us in these conditions. The visa situation, that’s just life, right? Sometimes that happens and everyone was doing everything that they could to try and resolve the situation. There’s just some red tape you’ve got to cut through at times.”When he arrived, the boys gave him a huge cheer and he got to witness something pretty special with the fellas bowling us to a Test win. He comes into calculations for the next Test match. If the wickets continue to spin as much as what we saw in the first Test as the series goes on, look, we won’t be afraid to play all spinners, or a balance of what we’ve got.”Tom Hartley picked up 7 for 62 in the second innings•Associated Press
McCullum also praised Ben Stokes’ handling of Hartley, who recovered from a Yashasvi Jaiswal mauling on the first evening, to take 7 for 62 on the fourth day. “He’s only played a handful of first-class games and was probably a bit of a punt, selection-wise,” McCullum said. “But we saw something in him that we thought would work over there and he’s a tough character.”The way that the skipper handled him was quite remarkable and he obviously brought us to a Test win… I thought that was a real sign of leadership. It was a clear message to not just Tom, but those that are around the squad, that when we talk about freedom, taking the game on and trying to come in and make a difference, you’re not going to be cast aside or taken off the crease from the first sign of danger.”I thought it was a magnificent decision by the skipper to do that. And I think it allowed Tom to feel like he belonged and he knew what his role was. It came up trumps in the end, but you’ve got to have a bit of a punt sometimes. And this one came off.”McCullum said that England had been “brave” in selecting Hartley, who had only taken 40 first-class wickets before making his Test debut in Hyderabad. “But let’s not forget – and I think this is quite a pertinent point – but Nathan Lyon, he’d only played a handful of first-class games and averaged 40-odd when he first got picked for Australia,” he said. And he’s gone on to have a fabulous career.”When you see guys you think are good enough, and who you think are going to suit the conditions, it’s sort of horses for courses. You’ve got to back your judgement… no-one ever foresees 7 for 60-odd on debut, or nine for the match, or 60-odd runs, a run-out and a catch. But sometimes, you’ve got to be a little bit brave with selections. If you like a character and you like their skillset and you think it can be suited to conditions, then it’s kind of an educated punt.”

Dushmantha Chameera is capable of hitting speeds upwards of 140kph•BCCI
Kolkata Knight Riders have signed Sri Lanka fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera as a replacement for Gus Atkinson, who had been snapped up by the franchise for INR 1 crore (USD 120,000 approx) at the IPL 2024 auction in December last year.Chameera, who had gone unsold at the auction, will now join KKR for his base price of INR 50 lakh (USD 60,000 approx). The 32-year-old has been part of Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants in the past. Chameera can hit speeds north of 140kph and in his most recent T20 game, he had picked up 2 for 20 in his four overs for Dubai Capitals against Abu Dhabi, the UAE affiliate of Knight Riders in the ILT20.Atkinson, the 26-year-old England fast bowler, was due to play in the IPL for the first time, but he has now withdrawn from the tournament, with the ECB managing his schedule after a long winter away. Atkinson had played three games for England at the World Cup in India, then travelled to the Caribbean for a white-ball tour in December and has since returned to India for England’s ongoing Test series.As for Chameera, he has played 12 IPL games so far, taking nine wickets at an economy rate of 8.73. Apart from Chameera, Mitchell Starc is the only overseas frontline quick in Knight Riders’ squad. Starc was bought for a record INR 24.75 crore (USD 2.98 million approx.) at the auction.IPL 2024 is likely to be played between March 22 and the end of May, with the final schedule to be announced once the polling dates for India’s general elections have been finalised by the Election Commission.

Nesta temporada, mesmo com apenas dez partidas disputadas, mostrou bastante potencial. O setor defensivo do Tricolor apresenta algumas questões para o começo da temporada 2023. Além das despedidas de Miranda, Léo e Luizão, lida com a lesão de Diego Costa – uma das peças mais importantes da zaga tricolor. Além disso, depende da recuperação de Walce – sem jogar há quase três anos, e da retomada de ritmo de Arboleda – que sofreu uma lesão em junho e começará a pré-temporada em janeiro por conta da convocação na Copa do Mundo.
Rogério Ceni também tem Beraldo como uma opção, mas o atleta subiu recentemente para o profissional e ainda não tem o mesmo grau de experiência. Desta forma, Nahuel Ferraresi é um dos principais nomes para a defesa são-paulina no momento.
O São Paulo nunca escondeu a boa relação que mantém com o Grupo City, o que acende um sinal positivo para estas conversas se encaminharem.
Having resumed on 62 without loss, Middlesex reach 303 for 6 at stumps, 120 ahead of Glamorgan

Mark Stoneman drove Middlesex’s agenda on day two•Getty Images
A brilliant hundred from Mark Stoneman put Middlesex in command of their Vitality County Championship fixture against Glamorgan in Cardiff.Having resumed on 62 without loss, Middlesex reached 303 for 6 at the close, 120 runs in front of Glamorgan on first innings. Stoneman’s 129 backed up the excellent bowling effort from Middlesex as the visitors took complete control of this match.There were starts all of the Middlesex top order but three wickets from James Harris pegged back their progress. Ryan Higgins was the only player other than Stoneman to make a significant contribution as he finished the day on 53 not out.With two days left in this game Middlesex will be hopeful of pushing for their second victory of the season to cement their place in the promotion spots at the top of Division Two.Stoneman and Sam Robson looked comfortable against the Glamorgan attack in the first hour of the day’s play. Stoneman reached fifty from 76 balls and Robson was starting to find some fluency when the first wicket fell.Robson attempted a pull shot off James Harris as the ball got big on him and he looped a catch to Marnus Labuschagne at midwicket. It was one of the few balls that seemed to hurry a Middlesex batter in the first session with the opening pair putting on 97.Stoneman was joined by Max Holden and the two went about chasing down Glamorgan’s first-innings total of 183. They took the score to 170 for 1 at the lunch break with Stoneman undefeated on 99.It was the second ball after the lunch break when Stoneman reached his first century of the 2024 season, and his sixth for Middlesex. It was that same over when the stand of 74 between Stoneman and Holden was broken when the latter gloved a ball down the leg side to wicketkeeper Chris Cooke.Leus du Plooy played some lovely shots during his brief stay at the crease but he fell in similar fashion to Robson. A short ball from Harris appeared to surprise him and he managed to edge onto his stumps for 15.Stoneman continued to look untroubled and when his wicket did come it was something of a surprise. He played a slog sweep off Kiran Carlson that came off the toe of his bat and he was easily caught at mid-on by Andy Gorvin.As Stoneman’s wicket fell, Middlesex were in front, but only by 52. There was a danger that a further flurry of wickets would undo a lot of the hard work Middlesex had put in to get themselves into that position. Some of those fears were allayed with a solid stand of 64 between Ryan Higgins and Nathan Fernandes that took Middlesex to 297 for 5.A heavy rain shower meant that tea was taken slightly early and it kept the players off the field for more than an hour and took 16 out of the game. When play did resume Higgins reached another half-century as his run tally for the season passed 500.A further wicket fell before the close when Ethan Bamber was unfortunate to be run out via a drive from Higgins that Jamie McIlroy got his finger tips to before it smashed into the stumps at the non-strikers end.
تحدث سامي قمصان، المدرب العام السابق للنادي الأهلي، عن مواجهة الفريق الأحمر اليوم أمام غزل المحلة في الدوري المصري الممتاز، مؤكدًا صعوبة المباراة، كما أوضح حقيقة الشائعات المتعلقة بوجود أزمة بين ثنائي حراسة المرمى محمد الشناوي ومصطفى شوبير.
ومن المقرر أن يلتقي الأهلي مع غزل المحلة في تمام السادسة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة، ضمن منافسات الجولة الرابعة من عمر الدوري المصري، على أرضية استاد المحلة.
وقال قمصان في تصريحات عبر قناة النادي الأهلي: “مباراة صعبة، بلغة الكرة (رزلة) متربطة بفريق المحلة على ملعبه وسط جمهوره، والتاريخ الكبير بين الناديين، يمتلكون أكبر مدرب في الدوري وبصمته حاضرة في أي فريق يُدربه، يُجيد النواحي الدفاعية والتنظيم”.
وتابع: “(مباراة رخمة) الملعب صغير، ولذلك يكون هناك تكتل دفاعي من جانب غزل المحلة، أتمنى أن يحسم الأهلي المباراة مُبكرًا، لأن أسلوب لعب المحلة نفسه يعتمد على التحولات الهجومية، لكن أتمنى أن نكون في حالتنا ونقدم نتائج جيدة في المرحلة الأولى من الدوري”.
وأضاف: “الشيء الآخر الذي يزيد من صعوبة المباراة هو عدم تثبيت تشكيل للأهلي، لأنه كلما استقر المدرب على تشكيل تحدث إصابات في الفريق، الاستقرار الفني مهم جدًا، ولكن أتمنى أن اللاعبين الذين يشاركون يتحملون المسؤولية، وأنا أثق أنهم على قدر المسؤولية”.
وبسؤاله، هل هناك أزمة بين محمد الشناوي ومصطفى شوبير حارسا الأهلي؟ قال: “أنا أتعجب.. لماذا دائمًا يتم تصدير فكرة أن هناك أزمة في هذا المركز بالنادي الأهلي! هناك الزمالك الذي يمتلك محمد صبحي وعواد والمهدي سليمان، وصبحي هو من يُشارك.. هل نسمع عن مشكلة؟ بالتأكيد المدرب يراه الحارس الأنسب للمشاركة وأنه يتدرب يشكل جيد، الأهلي نفس القصة، محمد الشناوي هو حارس منتخب مصر منذ 2018، شارك في كل البطولات وعامل مؤثر ويمتلك تاريخًا كبيرًا، ومصطفى شوبير حارس واعد، وأكثر من احتضنه هو الشناوي”.

وأردف: “هناك موقف حدث في بداية تصعيد مصطفى شوبير، وكان معه أكثر من حارس، الشناوي والله العظيم هو الوحيد الذي قال لي أنا أشعر بأن شوبير سيكون حارسًا جيدًا، الشناوي في بطولة إفريقيا قبل الماضية أعطاه الميدالية، العلاقة بينهما جيدة جدًا، شوبير يحترمه ويقدره ويستفيد من خبراته، حتى عندما كان يُشارك في دوري الأبطال الشناوي كان دائمًا يدعمه، العلاقة بينهما ليست كما يُحاول أن يصورها البعض”.
واستكمل: “من حق أي أحد أن يُدافع عن محمد الشناوي أو شوبير، لكن لا تُصدر فكرة أن هناك أزمة بينهما، لأن في النهاية المدير الفني لا يعرف هذا ولا ذاك، ولكن لديه قناعات معينة، ممكن أيًا منهما يُشارك، لكن في النهاية الفريق يمتلك حارسين كبيرين ومعهما حارس ثالث واعد هو محمد سيحا”.
واختتم: “لا نريد أن نُصدر مشكلة، المُحب للنادي سيدعم المدرب في كل قراراته، لا يوجد خلاف بأن الشناوي هو الحارس الأول، وارد أن يتغير ذلك، لا أعرف ماذا حدث، وارد إن شوبير يتدرب بشكل أفضل أو إن الشناوي عنده مشاكل فنية، هذه قناعات، لكن في النهاية هذا لا يُقلل منه اطلاقًا”.

Pedro é considerado a maior revelação do Terrão nos últimos anos, e o plano da diretoria é torná-lo a maior venda do clube. Vale lembrar que quem ostenta esse título é outro jogador formado nas categorias de base do Time do Povo: Pedrinho. O recorde foi quebrado em 2020, quando o Benfica pagou 20 milhões de euros (R$ 111 milhões na cotação atual) para ficar com o meia que hoje está no Atlético-MG.
No início de 2022, Pedro assinou seu primeiro contrato profissional, válido por três anos. A multa rescisória estipulada para equipes do exterior é de 50 milhões de euros (R$ 279 milhões na cotação atual).

Pedro lidou com problemas físicos durante a última temporada, mas mesmo assim foi um dos destaques da Seleção Brasileira Sub-17 na conquista do Torneio de Montaigu, na França, ao lado de Endrick, negociado pelo Palmeiras ao Real Madrid por 72 milhões de euros (R$ 402 milhões na cotação atual). O jovem corintiano de 16 anos participou de alguns treinos com a equipe profissional durante o tempo de Vítor Pereira no clube, mas não chegou a estrear no “time de cima”.
O garoto estava inscrito para disputar a Copa São Paulo, mas acabou sendo convocado pelo técnico Ramon Menezes para defender a Seleção Brasileira no Campeonato Sul-Americano Sub-20, e deixou o Timãozinho após a goleada na estreia contra o Zumbi, onde marcou um dos gols na vitória por 4 a 0.
Davidson-Richards provides key support as Morris’s efforts are overwhelmed

Paige Scholfield hit an unbeaten 73 from 39 balls•Surrey CCC/Getty Images
Paige Paige Scholfield set a new T20 career-best as South East Stars made it two wins from two in the Charlotte Edwards Cup with a five-wicket win over Lancashire Thunder at Beckenham.The South African born all-rounder plundered an unbeaten 73 from 39 balls with one six and 12 fours to allow the hosts to chase down a target of 140 with four overs to spare.Schofield shared stands of 67 with Alice Davidson-Richards and 48 with Aylish Cranstone as Stars recovered from 25 for 3 to coast home.Earlier Fi Morris struck a belligerent 41 with eight boundaries, but Thunder lost their way to total 139 for 7, Tash Farrant the pick of the home attack with 2 for 17.Morris ensured the visitors made an explosive start, pummelling three boundaries off four deliveries from Ryana MacDonald-Gay.Phoebe Franklin was treated with similar disdain by Morris, the 30-year-old all-rounder despatching successive short balls to the fence behind square.With Emma Lamb, 36, lending good support, 53 came from the powerplay and the stand reached 66 before Morris drove off-spinner Kalea Moore into the hands of Bryony Smith at mid-off.Her departure proved a turning point as Danielle Gregory put the brakes on and a few dots saw Lamb depart bowled for 36 from an ugly swipe across the line.Skipper Ellie Threlkeld survived a huge lbw shout from Gregory second ball only for MacDonald-Gay to pin her in front for a duck in the following over.Thereafter, a brilliant run-out by Smith and Farrant’s frugal spell throttled Thunder’s early impetus, so much so that, despite Smale’s 37, only two boundaries came in the second half of the innings.Their score looked light, but chasing 140, Stars lost Smith, dropped on nought, to a catch at mid-on off Tara Norris later in the opening over.England discard Sophia Dunkley then top-edged Phoebe Graham into the hands of Liberty Heap at third to depart for just 11 and when Morris held on to one in the deep to see the back of Farrant for only five off the bowling of Hannah Jones Stars were in trouble at 25 for 3.Davidson-Richards and Scholfield needed to rebuild and the former hoisted a Laura Jackson half-volley for the game’s first six, but even so 79 were needed from the last 10.Three fours for Davidson-Richards from one Jones over raised the fifty partnership. Schofield then caught the mood dispatching a head-high full toss from Jackson and the resulting free-hit was similarly sent to the mid-wicket fence.Twenty-nine had come from two overs but with Stars in the ascendancy Davidson-Richards smacked a full toss back to the returning Morris, who you just couldn’t keep out of the game. Franklin was run out later in the same over as the match threatened another twist.Schofield though took up the chase, a huge six part of 16 of one Heap over as she sped to 50 from 32 balls.She needed just seven more balls to complete the triumph leaving Stars in good heart ahead of Monday’s clash with Western Storm.
