Começo amarrado
Os primeiros 15 minutos na Serrinha se deram sem muita emoção. Em casa, o Goiás teve mais a posse de bola e administrou as ações do jogo ao longo deste período.

Em contrapartida, a Ponte Preta mostrou muitas dificuldades quando teve a bola sob sua posse e acabou tendo pouco tempo neste quesito. Ainda assim, vendeu caro os espaços e bloqueou as ações da equipe da casa.

Lei do ex!
​Mesmo depois do nervosismo e os estudos do começo do jogo, as equipes se mostraram pouco criativas ao longo da parte intermediária do primeiro tempo. A chegada de maior perigo do Goiás até os 30 minutos foi um chute fraco de Welliton, que morreu nas mãos de Ivan.

Sem muito poder de criação, as ações da Ponte Preta vinham se resumindo em jogadas que eram facilmente desarmadas pela defesa adversário. Assim, foi pelo alto que a Macaca conseguiu surpreender. Rafael Santos cruzou fechado, e Fábio Sanches, que antes defendia o Goiás, cabeceou para o fundo do gol, abrindo o placar.

Letal!
​O gol fez o Goiás dominar mais ainda as ações do jogo, visto que precisava empatar primeiro para depois voltar a sonhar com a vitória. Sem muitos espaços pelo chão, o Esmeraldino conseguiu criar perigo pelo alto, quando Welliton desviou cruzamento na primeira trave e forçou Ivan a espalmar.

Depois da chance que teve, o time da casa voltou a ficar travado no setor de criação e irritou o torcedor. Do outro lado, a Ponte Preta foi letal. Iago fez jogada pela esquerda e tocou para Rodrigão. O centroavante foi travada na hora do chute, e a bola se ofereceu para Marcos Júnior, que ajeitou para Léo Naldi. Da entrada da área, o camisa 18 mandou no ângulo direito de Tadeu, que nada pôde fazer.

Muita dificuldade
​A volta do intervalo continuou mostrando o Goiás controlando a posse de bola, mas enfrentando sérios problemas no momento de criar suas jogadas. Por outro lado, a Ponte Preta se mostrou tranquila na defesa e conseguiu neutralizar as ações do adversário.

Nervoso, o Esmeraldino conseguiu criar apenas duas oportunidades de gol ao longo dos primeiros 15 minutos do segundo tempo. Na primeira, David Duarte recebeu cruzamento, testou para o chão, mas errou o alvo. Mais tarde, Welliton soltou uma bomba, e Ivan fez a defesa.

Verdão vivo
​A partida passou a pegar fogo a partir dos 26 minutos. Após cruzamento na área, Nicolas subiu muito e testou com força, mas a bola acabou batendo na trave de Ivan e depois foi afastada pela defesa para escanteio.

Na cobrança, logo em seguida, Nicolas novamente ganhou pelo alto da defesa e desviou na direção da trave oposta. Dadá Belmonte apareceu por trás da defesa e só teve o trabalho de completar para o gol, diminuindo o marcador na Serrinha.

Artilheiro é artilheiro
​Depois do gol, o Goiás passou a encontrar novas dificuldades para conseguir atacar. Assim, Ivan teve pouco trabalho até os minutos finais. Do outro lado, André Luiz conseguiu obrigar Tadeu a intervir em chute de longe.

Já quando a partida se aproximava dos acréscimos e tudo parecia se encaminhar para uma vitória importante da Ponte Preta na luta contra o Z4, Alef Manga apareceu atrás da defesa campineira em cruzamento vindo da esquerda e testou para deixar tudo igual. O Verdão ainda pressionou, teve oportunidade de virar o jogo, mas acabou errando nas finalizações, fechando o jogo em 2 a 2.

WBBL: Sydney ThunderThe first title of the season was decided in late November when Sydney Thunder won the WBBL for the second time by comprehensively beating Melbourne Stars in the final at North Sydney Oval after the competition had been staged entirely in a Sydney-based hub. Shabnim Ismail and Sammy-Jo Johnson were almost unplayable with the new ball and the Stars, who had led the way in the regular season, could only limp to 86 for 9.

Queensland secure Shield title with innings victory

Sheffield Shield team of the season

WNCL: QueenslandAfter multiple delays and schedule changes, the domestic 50-over competition was played from late January to late March with each team having eight matches. The standout feature was the volume of centuries churned out, and often by those not in the Australia set-up. The backend of the tournament was played without the international names who were in New Zealand and Victoria, who qualified with ease, suffered especially hard.

A number of teams used it as a chance to blood younger players amid heavy workloads but the final at Bankstown was full of international stars (even with some absent at the IPL). However, the decisive innings came from Jack Edwards, one of New South Wales’ up-and-coming names, as they overpowered a hefty Western Australia batting line-up.Leading run-scorer: Peter Handscomb (299, Victoria)

The postponement of the South Africa Test series meant the international players appeared much more than might have been the case which produced some high-quality cricket even if the pitches tended to be on the docile side. There was a lot of toil for the quicks but spinners had their chance to shine – with three in the top five wicket-takers – while batters often enjoyed themselves, with feats such as Will Pucovski’s back-to-back double hundreds and Cameron Green’s career-best 251.Leading run-scorer: Cameron Green (922, Western Australia)

The season was curtailed last month after an outbreak of Covid-19 among a number of players

The PCB will outsource the management of its bio-security protocols to an international firm when the sixth season of the PSL resumes in June. The dates for the resumption have now been finalised, with the league restarting on June 1 and the final scheduled for June 20. Twenty matches remain, with all of them to be played in Karachi.The season was curtailed last month after an outbreak of Covid-19 among a number of players made its continuation untenable. That came after a number of incidents raised questions about the security and implementation of the protocols put in place for the tournament; those were protocols that were in turn devised and put in place by the board’s medical panel.Dr Sohail Saleem, the head of that panel, is being released after his resignation, which he had submitted in the wake of the curtailment, was accepted. An independent two-person fact-finding commission has since compiled a report and made a series of recommendations that the PCB’s board of governors discussed in detail in a meeting on Saturday.Related

عزز فريق بايرن ميونخ صدارته لجدول الدوري الألماني، بعدما فاز على هولشتاين كيل، مساء اليوم السبت، في إطار منافسات البطولة المحلية.

وتلاقى الفريقان على ملعب “الأليانز آرينا” في إطار منافسات الجولة العشرين من الدوري الألماني، موسم 2024/25، حيث فاز بايرن ميونخ بأربعة أهداف مقابل ثلاثة. أهداف مباراة بايرن ميونخ وهولشتاين كيل في الدوري الألماني

تقدم بايرن ميونخ بهدف في الدقيقة التاسعة عشر من الشوط الأول، عن طريق جمال موسيالا.

وقبل نهاية الشوط الأول من عمر المباراة، تمكن النجم هاري كين من تسجيل الهدف الثاني لصالح بايرن ميونخ.

ولم يحتج هاري كين سوى دقيقة بعد بداية الشوط الثاني ليسجل الهدف الثاني له والثالث لكتيبة فينسنت كومباني.

بينما جاء هدف بايرن ميونخ الرابع عن طريق اللاعب سيرجي جنابري، في الدقيقة 54، في حين قلّص هولشتاين كيل النتيجة بعدما سجل هدفه في الدقيقة 62 عن طريق فين بورات.

وتمكن هولشتاين من تسجيل هدفه الثاني في شباك بايرن ميونخ، في الدقيقة 91، عن طريق اللاعب سكرزيبسكي، قبل أن يحرز اللاعب نفسه الهدف الثاني له والثالث للضيوف في الدقيقة 93.

بتلك النتيجة، ارتفع رصيد بايرن ميونخ إلى 51 نقطة في المركز الأول، بينما تجمد رصيد هولشتاين كيل عند 12 نقطة في المركز السابع عشر.

Birmingham City haven't quite started their new League One season as the dominant force some might expect, with a mediocre 1-1 home draw against Reading secured on the opening day, followed up with a slender 3-2 win over Wycombe Wanderers on their travels.

Chris Davies' Blues did dominate the ball at 74% possession versus the Chairboys, and did muster up 13 shots to the home side's eight, but it was still an unnecessarily nervy victory come full-time.

The former Tottenham Hotspur assistant manager turned main man in the St. Andrews dug-out would have been pleased with Alfie May's efforts up top though, who has now scored in back-to-back clashes the league, after signing from Charlton Athletic in the summer.

Winning the third tier golden boot last campaign with the Addicks, his starting spot could be amazingly less concrete, if this statement purchase ends up joining.

Birmingham's search for a striker

As reported by Birmingham Live over the weekend, it is looking increasingly unlikely that Birmingham will be able to re-sign former loan star Jay Stansfield this summer, to boost their already impressive attacking arsenal.

Marco Silva has confirmed that Stansfield will get more chances to impress at Fulham instead, despite the fact there have been many approaches for his services from all across the EFL, including the Blues.

Birmingham will continue to try and tempt Fulham into allowing Stansfield to return back to St. Andrews, however, with the Mirror stating that the money-rich Blues haven't 'drawn a line under their interest.'

The electric 21-year-old was a breath of fresh air up top for the West Midlands side last campaign, even as a disastrous relegation was served up, and he could soon be another entertaining attacking option for Davies to rely on, over the likes of an ageing Lukas Jutkiewicz.

What Stansfield can offer Birmingham

Birmingham fans will be well aware of Stansfield's prowess in front of goal, with 13 strikes managed from 47 games last season leading the line, which included the strike above against a now Premier League Southampton outfit.

The Cottagers youngster is also used to dropping down to League One too, when it comes to finding the net on a regular basis, having tallied up nine goals and eight assists from 38 games playing for Exeter City in the third tier, the campaign before his breakout moment with the Blues.

As can be seen above, the 21-year-old has been a notorious goal machine across his youth and senior career to date, with one of his former Exeter teammates in Kevin McDonald even describing the Fulham number 28 as a striker who has "got it all".

Therefore, it isn't a shock to see Silva's men attempting to bed him into their Premier League set-up, hoping he can become a top homegrown talent in the men's team over time.

Jutkiewicz will be nervously sweating about the prospect of Stansfield's return though, knowing he could be bumped down Davies' pecking order for the fresh talent to come back in.

The Blues stalwart is a legend in St. Andrew's quarters, having amassed a staggering 333 appearances for the West Midlands club now, but his minutes in the here and now would only further dry up if Stansfield was to rejoin.

The EFL veteran has averaged just 15 minutes of action from off the bench in league action to date, with only two duels won from eight versus Wycombe, as his powers start to visibly wane.

Birmingham will want to take the third tier by storm this season, and would only get into their groove even more, if the statement purchase of Stansfield was pulled off.

For Amir, the CPL is unchartered territory, but little surprise given his international retirement last year. Ever since, Amir has played in T20 leagues in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, England and Pakistan, with 161 of his 220 T20 wickets coming in domestic T20 tournaments around the world.The tournament is scheduled to begin on August 28, with the final on September 19. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all games will take place in St Kitts and Nevis. A televised players’ draft will be held on Friday.The CPL was the first of the major franchise T20 tournament to resume operations since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, playing the entire 2020 event in Trinidad split between two venues at Queen’s Park Oval and Brian Lara Academy Stadium. However, the event was played entirely in a bio-bubble without any fan attendance. Recent internationals hosted by Cricket West Indies in Antigua have also been played without fans. But the CPL is pressing forward by encouraging fans to return to Warner Park – which will operate at up to 50 per cent capacity – provided they can demonstrate proof of vaccination.

Arsenal have started the new Premier League season in perfect fashion. Two games, two wins, two goals scored in both outings and they are yet to concede.

The Gunners have evidently begun things as they ended in 2023/24. Bang in form. Their record on the road in particular throughout 2024 has been incredible. They are yet to lose any of their ten matches and have conceded just three times. Yeah, beating Mikel Arteta's bunch of freak athletes is a hard task.

That challenge for opposing teams could become even harder after the late arrival of box-crashing and serial duel-winner Mikel Merino.

The Spaniard arrived from Real Sociedad in a late move before Friday's transfer deadline but it's unlikely he'll be an instant starter.

Why Merino won't play against Brighton

It was confirmed by Arteta during his pre-match press conference that the midfielder had picked up an instant injury in his first full training session with the group.

Gabriel allegedly landed on the new signing and caused a shoulder issue that will rule now him out for a number of weeks.

In time, he will no doubt become the natural holding of the left-sided 8 role Arsenal have been seeking to strengthen after Granit Xhaka's departure a year ago.

Xhaka is no more, however, with Declan Rice beginning the opening two matches in that role. Behind him has been Thomas Partey, a Marmite character to supporters.

Thomas Partey's season so far

At the start of the 2023/24 term, the former Atletico Madrid star was given an interesting role. Partey didn't start in midfield but it was at right-back where he was entrusted.

What came over Arteta to operate in this manner is still a question we're still trying to answer. Anyway, that little experiment was abruptly ended when the Ghanaian picked up an injury, something that plagued his campaign.

Partey returned at the back end of the season to mixed reviews. Clearly leggy, clearly lacking much energy and consistently overrun, it didn't bode well for his future at the Emirates Stadium.

That said, he has survived the cull this summer, one that's seen the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Vieira and Eddie Nketiah shown the exit door.

He has stood out in the opening two games, though, notably against Aston Villa last weekend where the midfielder scored a crucial goal to put the game out of sight for Unai Emery's team.

So, dropping him immediately would be quite harsh, yes? Probably. That said, Amadou Onana did have the beating of him when surging forward with precision.

Against quick and fleet-footed opposition the idea of Partey playing as the deepest midfielder is a scary one. That's the threat Brighton will pose to the Gunners on Saturday lunchtime.

New signing Matt O'Riley could play but it's the wide players who cut inside with relentless desire – chiefly Kaoru Mitoma and Simon Adingra – who could cause problems. You've also got the threat of Joao Pedro.

Arsenal found it difficult against Morgan Rogers who occupies similar pockets of space to Pedro last weekend. At one point the Englishman led a merry jig around Rice and Partey who couldn't deal with his exciting and fluid play style.

Completing five dribbles and winning eight duels, Arsenal cannot afford Pedro and Co the same luxury this weekend.

The best replacements for Partey

There are a few solutions if Arteta wishes to take Partey out of the firing line. Ethan Nwaneri, who shone so bright in pre-season, could be given the nod but it's too soon for the academy prospect.

That move would see Rice move back into his natural holding role. It's a position he'll likely play in once Merino is up to speed too. A clash with Brighton isn't the time to hand the Spaniard a debut either.

That leaves one man, Arsenal's "big-game player" as he was coined in 2023 by Daily Mirror journalist Darren Lewis. That is Jorginho.

The Italian is yet to play a single minute this season but he has been a vital player for the club, notably against teams who will press the Gunners and look to play against them.

Funnily enough, it was at Villa Park where we first saw that big-match mentality with the Euro 2020 winner popping up to find the back of the net via Emiliano Martinez in the dying embers.

Since then he has only gone from strength to strength in Arsenal colours. Handed the Player of the Match award against Newcastle back in February, the 32-year-old has been rolling back the years in 2024.

He was notably outstanding in a vital 2-1 win over Liverpool, again winning the Man of the Match gong. On that occasion, no player retained possession better, had more touches or made more passes.

You may well argue that Jorginho could struggle with the pace of Brighton's counter-attack too but he will offer his side more composure, a better ability to evade the press and the capability to retain possession. In short, he's ideal for the sort of game that could play out this weekend.

Looking at the numbers, it makes for interesting reading with Jorginho far better last season when it came to passing and maintaining possession but Partey was the more aggressive (only just) when it came to the defensive phases of play.

Titular nos últimos quatro jogos, o lateral-direito Thassio Marques emendou uma considerável sequência no time principal do Náutico em meio a reta final da Série B do Brasileirão. Cria da base do Timbu, o jovem de 20 anos de idade ganhou a posição após a contusão de Hereda e tem correspondido às expectativas do técnico Hélio dos Anjos.

Na última segunda-feira (15), Thassio iniciou novamente entre os titulares no triunfo contra o Sampaio Corrêa por 2 a 1 e teve boa atuação nos 90 minutos. O defensor fala sobre as oportunidades acumuladas na equipe principal e espera encerrar bem a segunda divisão nacional:

– Fico feliz pelas oportunidades recebidas pelo professor e acredito que tenho desempenhado um bom papel na lateral nesses últimos jogos. Essa sequência para mim tem sido muito importante, pois estou tendo uma minutagem boa para mostrar meu futebol. Agora, é manter o foco para terminar bem essa reta final da competição.

Com 52 pontos, o Náutico ocupa a oitava posição da tabela e não tem mais chances de acesso à elite do futebol brasileiro. Nas duas últimas rodadas da Série B, o Timbu recebe o Avaí em casa, no próximo domingo (21), e visita o Cruzeiro, no dia 28 deste mês.

يرى كريستيانو رونالدو، نجم فريق النصر السعودي، كونه اللاعب الأفضل على الإطلاق في تاريخ لعبة كرة القدم، وذلك خلال حواره الذي أجراه مع الصحفي الشهير إيدو أجيري.

ويواصل كريستيانو رونالدو تألقه في ملاعب كرة القدم، حيث لا يزال يقدم إبداعاته، سواء على صعيد الأداء أو تسجيل الأهداف مع النصر السعودي في الوقت الحالي.

وخاض رونالدو، أمس، مباراة مع النصر ضد الوصل في دوري أبطال آسيا، حيث سجل هدفين خلال الفوز برباعية.

وقال رونالدو: “إمكانية وصولي إلى الهدف رقم 1000؟ الناس يركزون بشكل كبير على هذا الأمر، أعلم أن هذا خطئي، لكن الناس لا يقدرون مستواي الحالي، لا أحب هذا”.

وأضاف في تصريحاته التي نشرتها صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية: “يجب أن تحدث الأمور بشكل طبيعي، أنا الأفضل في التاريخ، الأرقام موجودة”.

واستكمل: “أنا أعظم هداف في التاريخ، ولأنني لست أعسرًا، فأنا ضمن أفضل 10 في التاريخ من حيث تسجيل الأهداف بالقدم اليسرى، هذه مجرد أرقام، فأنا اللاعب الأكثر اكتمالاً على الإطلاق، ألعب جيدًا بقدمي اليسرى ورأسي، أسدد الركلات الحرة بشكل جيد، أنا سريع، أنا قوي، أقفز كثيرًا لم أر أحدًا أفضل مني”.

وواصل: “تقبل الانتقادات؟ الناس الذين لا يعرفونني، يغارون مني، علي أن أعيش مع من يحبونني، أما الآخرون فلا، الغضب من الخسارة أصبح أقل الآن، ولكن على أرض الملعب لا أقبل الخسارة، إنها تبقى هناك”.

وأوضح: “لا أستطيع العودة إلى المنزل والغضب من عائلتي، قبل ذلك كان الأمر مختلفًا، في ريال مدريد إذا أهدرت ركلة جزاء، كنت أغلق على نفسي غرفتي ولا أتناول العشاء وأتحدث إلى نفسي”.

وواصل انتقاده للكرة الذهبية، قائلًا: “لا توجد مصداقية، فينيسيوس يجب أن يكون الفائز بالكرة الذهبية، لقد شعرت بذلك عدة مرات وشعرت بالغضب، ومع مرور الوقت فهمت ذلك، هذه معارك لا يمكنك الفوز بها”.

وعن السبب وراء رحيله المفاجئ عن ريال مدريد في 2018، قال: “لقد انتهى وقتي، كنت أريد دافعًا مختلفًا، لم يرهقني رحيلي، لقد قبل الرئيس رحيلي، على الرغم من أنه لم يعاملني جيدًا أثناء المفاوضات (تجديد عقده)، كان يريد مني العودة، لكنني لم أعد قادرًا على ذلك (يقصد توصله إلى اتفاق مع يوفنتوس في ذلك الوقت)”.

وشدد: “أنا أقدر وأحترم فلورنتينو بيريز، وأتحدث معه أحيانًا، لا أستبعد العودة يومًا ما عندما تنتهي مسيرتي المهنية والقيام بشيء رائع”.

وتابع: “ستظل مدريد في قلبي، نشأ أطفالي هناك، لدي أصدقائي ولعبت هناك، هي المكان الذي كنت أسعد فيه، ابني ماتيو من كبار مشجعي ريال مدريد، يزعجني عندما يقول أن مبابي أفضل مني”.

وعن الكلاسيكو ضد برشلونة، قال: “كنت أحب اللعب وتسجيل الأهداف في كامب نوب، كان الملعب مكانًا أشعر فيه بالإثارة، وكانوا يطلقون صافرات الاستهجان في وجهي، وكانت هناك هالة مختلفة”.

واعترف: “لم أهتم بالإهانات، كنت أفكر فقط في تسجيل الأهداف لإسكات هؤلاء الناس، أحب تسجيل الأهداف في كامب نو أكثر من برنابيو”.

واسترسل: “لقد عشنا فترة مليئة بالتوترات، لقد كانت منافسة تاريخية، مدريد – برشلونة، كريستيانو – ميسي، راموس – بيكيه، لقد كانت مباراة الكلاسيكو رائعة للغاية، كانت علاقتي جيدة للغاية مع ميسي، حيث قمت بالترجمة له في بعض المناسبات قبل بدء الحفل، لقد كان يعاملني دائماً بشكل جيد، أتمنى أن نتمكن من رؤية أرقامنا مرة أخرى (يقصد تكرارها من جانب لاعبين آخرين)، لكنني أرى أن الأمر صعب للغاية”.

وأفاد: “كان بإمكاني اللعب لـ برشلونة، كنت مع شخص من النادي وأراد التعاقد معي، لكن هذا لم يحدث، أرادوا التعاقد معي وضمي في العام التالي، تعاقد معي مانشستر في ذلك الوقت”.

وعن رؤيته للمدرب المثالي، قال: “لا بد أن يكون لاعبًا من قبل، إذا لم يكن موجودًا في غرفة تبديل الملابس، فسيكون الأمر صعبًا للغاية، بل مستحيلًا، إذا نظرت إلى التاريخ، ستجد إنه من بين أفضل 50 لاعبًا، كان 48 منهم لاعبين، ليس لدي مدرب مفضل، لقد تعلمت من الجميع، لقد كان لدي مدربين سيئين للغاية، ليس لديهم أدنى فكرة عن كرة القدم”.

كما أشاد بلاعب ريال مدريد، جود بيلينجهام، قائلًا: “أنا أحبه كثيرًا، هو يذكرني بـ زيدان، بيلينجهام صغير جدًا وأمامه مستقبل كامل، وسوف يقدم الكثير لـ ريال مدريد”.

وفيما يخص لذة تسجيل الأهداف، قال: “إنه أفضل شعور في العالم، أحبه، ولا زلت أشعر بهذا الشعور بالنشوة عند التسجيل، لا أفكر في أن أصبح مدربًا، فأنا أرى الأمر مستحيلًا تقريبًا، ولا أحبه، امتلاك نادٍ أمر منطقي أكثر، ولا أستبعده”.
