Coluna do Rolim: o julho mágico de Pedro, centroavante do Flamengo

MatériaMais Notícias

da pinup bet: Nove gols e quatro assistências em oito jogos – nem todos completos. Foram 30 minutos contra o Corinthians e 45 contra o Juventude. Pedro, do Flamengo, foi o jogador brasileiro de maior destaque no mês de julho. Ganhou até um expectador especial no Maracanã no jogo contra o Athletico-PR: Tite. Hora, então, de analisar seus gols, assistências e seu encaixe no ataque fazendo dupla com Gabigol, ou trio, com a participação de Arrascaeta.

Pedro tem cara de centroavante de área, jeito de centroavante de área e faz a maioria absoluta dos seus gols de dentro da área, mas, nos últimos jogos, vem saindo bastante para ocupar o lado esquerdo de ataque (mapas de calor no vídeo). Pedro flutua pelo lado esquerdo para que Arrascaeta possa centralizar na entrelinha e se aproximar de Everton Ribeiro e Gabigol.

O Flamengo vem jogando muito pelo lado direito, por característica e por modelo. A saída é feita com os zagueiros e Filipe Luis, liberando Rodinei para pisar na linha lateral já em campo ofensivo. Everton Ribeiro, pela meia direita, busca mais a bola para distribuir que João Gomes, que vem jogando na meia esquerda, e o jogo acaba se desenvolvendo pela direita. Com o time sobrecarregando o lado da bola, Pedro balança para o lado oposto. Mas essa compensação que Pedro faz não parece afetar seus números.

Dos nove gols convertidos no mês de julho, quatro foram em cabeceios, todos muito próximos ao gol, com passes ou cruzamentos que vieram do forte lado direito. Os outros cinco gols foram feitos com o seu pé direito, chapando bolas na grande área ou consertando e orientando o corpo na pequena área para finalizar o mais rápido possível.

Pedro chama a atenção tanto pelo bom chute colocado de média distância quanto pela rapidez com que se orienta para finalizar pressionado no meio da defesa adversária. E no 4-4-2 em losango de Dorival, Pedro e Gabigol foram acomodados no ataque com os pés invertidos, facilitando a finalização do passe que bem pelo meio. Gabi chega pela direita batendo com a canhota e Pedro, destro, chega pela esquerda batendo de primeira.

Mas o que faz brilhar o olho – meu e provavelmente do Tite – são as assistências quando sai da área para jogar na entrelinha. No último jogo de julho pelo Brasileirão, contra o Avaí, Pedro acionou Arrascaeta duas vezes enquanto o uruguaio rompia a defesa e atacava a profundidade. Das suas quatro assistências para gol, duas foram assim, contra o Atlético Mineiro e contra o Tolima. Sai da área, recebe, temporiza com a bola, espera o momento certo e dá o passe nas costas da zaga. As outras duas assistências foram de cabeça, raspando a bola na antecipação ou na jogada de primeiro pau para a finalização de quem vem no segundo pau.

Quando chamo o mês de julho de mágico, é porque o normal é regredir em agosto. Pensar que um atacante fará nove gols e quatro assistências todo mês é ter uma expectativa que não vai se confirmar. O que se espera, do Pedro ou de outro jogador com potencial de Seleção, é que mantenha uma boa média e bom desempenho.

Gary Ballance released by Yorkshire in bid for fresh start in wake of racism case

Batter will not play Championship cricket for another county in 2023 season

Gary Ballance, the former England batter, has been released from his contract with Yorkshire, after requesting the chance for a fresh start to his career following the damaging revelations that emerged during the club’s racism scandal last year.Ballance, the former club captain, played 23 Tests, as well as 16 ODIs, between 2014 and 2017, scoring four centuries at an average of 37.45 that compared favourably with many of England’s other middle-order selections in that period.However, he was heavily implicated in Azeem Rafiq’s explosive testimony during the DCMS parliamentary hearings in Westminster last November, after his use of the racial slur “P**i” had been deemed to be “banter” in the initial report into allegations of institutional racism at Yorkshire.Ballance, who was born in Zimbabwe but was educated in England, claimed in mitigation that the word had been used in the context of a friendly relationship between the two players, with Rafiq referring to him as “Zimbo” in return. However, earlier this year, he met Rafiq in person to apologise.He has not played for Yorkshire since the end of the 2021 season, having taken a lengthy break from cricket to manage his mental health, during which time he has been supported by the club. However, with his contract due to run until the end of the 2024 season, he has agreed he will not play for another County Championship team in the 2023 season. A return to playing in Zimbabwe – and potentially putting himself forward for international selection – is his likely next step.He is one of seven Yorkshire players and staff to be charged by the Cricket Discipline Commission in relation to the racism case, although the hearing has been postponed to the new year following a series of appeals.Related

“It has been a privilege to play for this great club,” Ballance said. “On a personal level, I have gone through a challenging period – and after much discussion I decided, together with my family, that it would be right to make a change. I asked the club if it was willing to release me from my contract, and I am grateful for its understanding as we have reached agreement.”The support Yorkshire has given me off the pitch over the past year has been fantastic and I am appreciative of the club’s help, but I hope that my decision will mean that my career can have a fresh start.”Darren Gough, managing director of Yorkshire cricket, said: “We are sad to see Gary go, but he leaves with our best wishes. He has been a mainstay of our side for many years, and a superb batsman. As a club, we recognise that the last 18 months have been difficult for Gary, for numerous reasons, and the most important thing for him is to get better and play again. He felt he could not do this at Headingley, and we agreed to his request reluctantly but knowing that it was the right decision for him personally.”

Sobe e desce: quem foi bem e mal no Botafogo no primeiro turno do Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

da bet sport: As primeiras 19 rodadas do Brasileirão já se foram. O Botafogo terminou o primeiro turno do Campeonato Brasileiro dentro do objetivo interno: estar em uma zona de classificação a um torneio sul-americano no ano que vem.

da cassino: +Godoy Cruz pede mais dinheiro para liberar Ojeda ao Botafogo, e Textor cresce desinteresse em negociar

Ainda que entre altos e baixos, a impressão final deixado pela equipe comandada por Luís Castro é que a evolução está para chegar. Por isso, o LANCE!vai avaliar os jogadores que foram destaques positivos e negativos neste primeiro turno. O “sobe” vai para quem foi bem e o “desce” para quem pode melhorar.

SOBE

​Lucas Fernandes: regularidade é a palavra que define o camisa 18. Lucas tem apenas uma participação direta para gol no Brasileirão – uma assistência contra o América-MG -, mas mesmo assim lidera o meio-campo do Alvinegro e é um dos jogadores que mais chama a responsabilidade. A impressão inicial é de destaque.

Erison: o artilheiro do Glorioso não podia ficar de fora. ‘El Toro’ balançou as redes em sete oportunidades – está em quarto na briga pela artilharia do Brasileirão – e atormentou defesas com a força física.

Victor Cuesta: chegou com desconfiança pela relação conturbada no fim da passagem no Internacional mas logo deixou isso para trás. Por mais que ainda tenha uma falha ou outra no jogo aéreo, é praticamente impecável nas disputas no chão e ainda ajuda na construção do jogo com o começo da saída de bola.

Kayque: o camisa 62 era um dos destaques do time até sofrer uma grave lesão na vitória contra o Red Bull Bragantino, no começo do mês. Alinhando força física com facilidade para conduzir a bola, as boas atuações renderam, inclusive, um novo contrato ao garoto.

Gatito Fernández: pode não ser tão regular quanto os outros citados, mas o paraguaio garantiu resultados positivos ao Botafogo. Gatito teve atuações importantes, por exemplo, nas vitórias sobre Flamengo, Internacional e RB Bragantino.

DESCE

Renzo Saravia: chegou com expectativa pelo bom começo de passagem que teve no Internacional, mas não fez por onde. O camisa 2 sofre, principalmente, no setor defensivo e regularmente deixa lacunas na última linha. Perdeu a vaga no time titular para Daniel Borges no último jogo.

+John Textor cita que quer contratar Christian Benteke, do Crystal Palace, ao Botafogo

Kanu: é muito irregular. Vai de um jogo excelente para um ruim em um intervalo de uma rodada.

Patrick de Paula: carrega o peso de ser a maior contratação da história do Botafogo e convive com a expectativa da torcida em cima disso. Nunca se firmou como titular absoluto. Quando esteve em campo não deu a intensidade necessária para o meio-campo

Matheus Nascimento: é promissor e mostra, jogo após jogo, que possui recurso técnico afinado para um jogador de 18 anos. Porém, peca no principal quesito para um atacante: a frieza para marcar gols na cara do goleiro. Ele desperdiçou duas chances claras de balançar as redes nesse Brasileirão – dado do “SofaScore”.

BOA IMPRESSÃO
Fernando Marçal, reforço contratado para a segunda janela e que estreou apenas contra o Santos, há dois jogos, e Jeffinho, estrela na vitória sobre o Athletico Paranaense, foram dois nomes que deixam um gostinho de que podem entrar na lista de destaques.

+Eduardo Paes tenta fazer John Textor esquecer ideia de construir novo estádio para o Botafogo

A amostragem da dupla, contudo, ainda é pequena. Carlos Eduardo, titular pela primeira vez no triunfo sobre o Furacão, também foi destaque e, justamente por ter sido um dos pedidos da comissão técnica, também possui potencial de ser um desses nomes.

Dos jogadores que já estavam no clube desde o começo do Brasileirão, Victor Sá foi um atleta que contribuiu com o jogo de Luís Castro com frequência, mas desfalcou a equipe por mais de um mês por uma lesão nas costas. O jogador pode retornar contra o Corinthians, na abertura do segundo turno.

Wolves want in-demand teenage talent and could sign him for just £250,000

da doce: Wolves have joined a queue of clubs looking to try and sign a young talent for a bargain fee this summer, it has emerged, as Gary O’Neil looks to strengthen his squad on the cheap.

Wolves target youth

da pixbet: Part of Wolves’ strategy over the summer was to buy younger talents to develop as they look to build a squad capable of avoiding relegation from the Premier League.

In the wake of Pedro Neto’s exit to Chelsea, the Old Gold replaced him with former Manchester City youth talent Carlos Forbs, who turns 21 in March, while the only player over the age of 24 signed was goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who arrived from Crystal Palace.

It has yet to work out for the Molineux side, but their first wins of the season have pulled them clear of the relegation zone as things stand and O’Neil will be hoping that the players he has signed only continue to improve over the course of the season, with money scarce in the Midlands for any January or summer additions and the club looking to follow a self-sustaining model.

That could see players leave once more in the summer, with Matheus Cunha among those linked with a move away from the club, along with fullback Rayan Ait-Nouri.

However, that will not change Wolves’ youth-driven policy, and now they have joined the race to sign a potential bargain.

Wolves interested in signing Celtic talent

That comes according to Football Insider, who name Wolves as one of five sides showing an interest in Celtic forward Daniel Cummings after a series of impressive performances at youth level.

The 18-year-old has managed to find the net 22 times in 20 games for the youth sides this season, including five goals in five Champions League youth games for Celtic, helping the young Bhoys to three wins and leaving them above Real Madrid in the early standings.

But Cummings is out of contract with Celtic as things stand at the end of the campaign, and the reports claims that the teenager “could leave the club for a minimal fee with cross-border compensation only €310,000″ [£250,000], following in the footsteps of the likes of Ben Doak and Rocco Vata”.

It is added that “Wolves, Fulham, Ipswich, Sunderland and Burnley” all had scouts watching him in his most recent UEFA Youth League game, where he scored the only goal of the game as Celtic edged past Club Brugge before the senior team were held to a draw later in the day.

Still yet to make his debut for Brendan Rodgers’ table-topping senior side, several clubs are positioning themselves in the hope that it never happens, while Wolves will be among them, hoping that they can snag the talent on the cheap in several months time should contract talks not reach a resolution.

Gareth Batty named permanent head coach at Surrey

Former spinner led club to Championship title after taking over on interim basis

Gareth Batty, who led Surrey to the County Championship title as interim head coach, has been appointed to the role full time. He succeeds Vikram Solanki, who left at the start of the year to take charge of IPL franchise Gujarat Titans.Batty only retired from playing at the end of the 2021 season, after a lengthy career representing Surrey, Worcestershire and England, and initially moved on to the coaching staff as one of Solanki’s assistants. After taking charge of the first team, he oversaw an impressive campaign that saw the London club win their first Championship since 2018.”I’m honoured to have been given the opportunity to be head coach at this great club on a permanent basis,” Batty said. “This year has been an incredible season and a steep learning curve for me as a coach but I have absolutely loved every second of it.”The hard work put in by the coaching staff and the players was crucial in the success this year and we’re looking to get straight back to it as pre-season begins. There’s a huge amount of potential in this group of players and I’m excited to get going again with our eyes firmly set on more success in 2023.”Surrey won eight of their 14 Championship games and were unbeaten until the final round of the season, by which point that had already secured the pennant. One of Batty’s most-significant moves as coach was to rely on a pace-heavy attack, with allrounder Will Jacks deployed as the frontline spinner to balance the side.Surrey topped the South Group in the Vitality Blast, only to lose their home quarter-final against Yorkshire, but were less successful in the Royal London Cup – in part due to the demands on their playing staff through the Hundred and England commitments.Alec Stewart, Surrey’s director of cricket, said: “After a full and proper process, Gareth was the outstanding candidate for the role of head coach of Surrey’s men’s side and has fully earned his opportunity. Alongside our backroom team, Gareth did an outstanding job last season, handling all the challenges that were thrown his way.”Batts is one of the most hard-working and forward thinking people in the game and his deep knowledge, commitment and dedication to the job that he brings every single day is a massive positive. His enthusiasm and his passion is infectious and this has been very well received by the group.”Batty was assisted by Azhar Mahmood and Jim Troughton during the 2022 summer, with both coaches expected to be retained on a permanent basis.

ريجيكامب يرد على أنباء مفاوضات الزمالك

كشف لاورينسيو ريجيكامب المدير الفني السابق لنادي الترجي التونسي، حقيقة وجود مفاوضات مع الزمالك، موضحاً أسباب رحيله عن تدريب الفريق التونسي.

وقال رجيكامب في تصريحات عبر قناة “أون سبورت” عن مفاوضات الزمالك: “كنت في القاهرة لمدة يومين، ولم أكن في مفاوضات مع الزمالك، قابلت مالك أحد الأندية من بلد أخرى في القاهرة”.

وتابع: “تحدثت مع أحد الوكلاء عن الزمالك منذ أسبوعين أو ثلاثة، ولم يصدر مني تعلقيات، هذا ليس عدلاً أن أتحدث أولًا، لأن الأفضل أن النادي هو من يتحدث وليس المدير الفني”.

هل الوكيل كان يتحدث بالنيابة عن الزمالك أم مجرد استطلاع رأي؟: “لا أعرف إذا كان يتحدث بالنيابة عن الزمالك أم من خلال نفسه”.

وأكد: “لا توجد مفاوضات مع أي نادٍ مصري سواء الأهلي أو الزمالك”.

وعن أسباب رحيله عن الترجي: “لا أعرف السبب، النتائج كانت جيدة، أعتقد أن هناك شيئًا ما حدث داخل النادي، بالنسبة لي الأمر أصبح في طي التاريخ”.

وأتم: “أتابع الكرة المصرية لأنني كنت في تونس، وكنا سنلعب أمام فرق مصرية في بطولة إفريقيا، لذلك كان يجب أن أتابعهم عن قرب”.

بـ3 أدلة.. جمال عبد الحميد يؤكد: بيراميدز أخذ مكان الأهلي وليس الزمالك

أكد جمال عبد الحميد، نجم الزمالك السابق، أن بيراميدز لم يأخذ مكان الزمالك كما يردد البعض، بل يرى أن الفريق السماوي بات ينافس على حساب الأهلي في البطولات الكبرى المحلية والقارية.

وقال عبد الحميد في تصريحات لبرنامج “اللعيب” عبر قناة “MBC مصر”: “بيراميدز لم يأخذ مكان الزمالك، من يلعب نهائي كأس مصر دائمًا؟ الأهلي، لكن الذي يلعب النهائي الآن هو بيراميدز، إذًا الأخير هو من أخذ مكان الفريق الأحمر”.

وتابع: “من يلعب نهائي إفريقيا كل سنة؟ الأهلي، الآن بيراميدز هو من يلعب نهائي البطولة، إذًا أخذ مكان الأهلي، الآن الزمالك حسم المركز الثالث في الدوري، ودائمًا كان يحسم المركز الثاني، والمرة التي حسم فيها الأهلي المركز الثالث كان بيراميدز قد أخذ منه المركز الثاني.. إذًا بيراميدز أخذ مكان الأهلي وليس الزمالك”.

وتساءل: “الإسماعيلي عندما كان يُنافس، هل كنا نقول إنه أخذ مكان الأهلي أو الزمالك؟ كنا نقول إن المنافسة كانت بين الثلاثة أندية”.

واختتم: “كل العالم يقول إن الزمالك دائمًا يُعاني من أزمات، ورغم ذلك نحصد بطولات، إذًا هل نحن أبطال أم لا؟ هذه أسوأ سنة للقلعة البيضاء لأننا خسرنا معظم البطولات، لكن رغم ذلك وصلنا لنهائي كأس مصر، وحتى آخر 4 أسابيع كنا ننافس على الدوري أيضًا”.
