Marcação alta, pressão, domínio e sufocar o adversário. Por outro lado, pontaria em baixa para concretizar as chances criadas em gol ou até mesmo grandes defesas de Fábio. Esta é uma simples tônica que reflete a atuação do Botafogo.

No entanto, a soberania em campo não foi o único legado deixado pelo Botafogo na vitória sobre o Fluminense. A equipe mostra ser determinada a fazer história e superar marcas.

A vitória no clássico fez com que o Botafogo igualasse uma sequência positiva contra o Fluminense na década de 1960. Nesta época, nada mais nada menos que Garrincha vestia a camisa alvinegra. Outro exemplo recente de marca alvinegra é a artilharia de Júnior Santos na Libertadores.

O técnico Artur Jorge atribuiu o sucesso em campo ao árduo trabalho de dois meses no comando do Botafogo.

O que temos feito em tão pouco tempo é trabalho, muito trabalho feito. Temos esse cuidado de trabalhar diariamente, e também temos jogadores de muita qualidade, e isso deixa mais fácil de assimilar. Fica mais fácil de trabalhar assim. Claro que não temos o melhor elenco do Brasil, os melhores jogadores, o melhor técnico… Mas temos trabalho


afirmou Artur Jorge

O Botafogo volta a entrar em campo neste domingo (16). O Alvinegro vai enfrentar o Grêmio, às 18h30, no Estádio Kléber Andrade, em Cariacica. A partida é válida pela 9ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Australia look for a final lift to earn share of T20 series

India’s spinners have started to dominate but the Gabba surface may not be quite as conducive for them

Tristan Lavalette07-Nov-20251:47

Dube: Our plan was to make them hit to the bigger boundaries

Big Picture: Series on the line, with T20 World Cup on the horizonIndia’s brilliant bowling performances, bamboozling Australia with spin, in Hobart and the Gold Coast has turned the series on its head. Josh Hazlewood’s stranglehold of India’s batters earlier in the series feels like a long time ago as a shorthanded Australia – without frontline players turning their focus to the Ashes – stare down the barrel of a series defeat.Australia can’t win the series, but can salvage a draw in the fifth and final T20I at the Gabba. Even though almost all the attention across the country is on the Ashes, meaning scrutiny on this series is minimal, Australia’s hierarchy have a few things to ponder ahead of a fast-approaching T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.Related

Axar, Dube, Washington power India to 2-1 series lead

Axar's deceptive simplicity dismantles Australia's threat

Australia's power play doused by Indian spin

Australia have a clear plan of all-out attack, which can look spectacular on faster surfaces or against the right match-up. But this high-voltage batting-order failed to execute on a slower Gold Coast surface in game four. Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar completely dominated as Australia collapsed to a sizeable defeat after laying a good platform.With the T20 World Cup to be played in what could be spin-friendly conditions, Australia are facing questions over whether they can combat high-quality spin attacks. A faster Gabba pitch is unlikely to provide answers, but Australia will want a confidence boost and to avoid a third straight T20I defeat – undoing somewhat the team’s rousing form since the last World Cup.After a sluggish start to the series, India have continued their strong record having never lost a T20I series in Australia – bar a one-off match in 2007-08. With their slew of spinners running rampant, India have proven why they are so hard to beat in this format as they eye becoming the first country to successfully defend their T20 World Cup crown.After conditions were to their liking over the past couple of games, India will face a challenge in Brisbane and the spotlight will be on how their top-order can fare even though a Hazlewood-less attack is slightly a less scary prospect.If they seal a series triumph, India will head home feeling well pleased ahead of a T20 World Cup they will start as favourites.Form guideAustralia LLWWW

Australia have had a strong run in T20Is but won’t want to lose three in a row•Cricket Australia/Getty Images

In the spotlight: Josh Inglis and Shubman GillIt’s been a frustrating start to the Australian season for Josh Inglis, who suffered a calf injury before the tour of New Zealand and it took longer to recover. Inglis has finally made it back, but his returns with the bat this series have been modest with just 33 runs in three innings. A noted player of spin, Inglis was completely bamboozled by Axar on the Gold Coast in a poor dismissal. At No. 3, Inglis holds a valuable spot in the order and his struggles have contributed to Australia’s indecisiveness this series. He will also be eyeing a good hit-out in the middle before switching to the red ball in the Sheffield Shield having been selected in Australia’s first Test Ashes squad as the reserve wicketkeeper. He is the only member of the 15-player squad playing in this game.It has not been a fruitful tour for Shubman Gill, who could not get going with the bat as India slumped to an ODI series loss to start his captaincy reign in the format. Without the captaincy burden in the T20Is, he has fared slightly better in this series although has still yet to crack a half-century on tour. He came close on the Gold Coast when he top-scored with 46 off 39 balls. Gill, however, lacked fluency in the innings, struggling against the new ball before some of his favoured flat-bat shots started to return. He will be hoping the momentum can carry over as he looks to end a tough tour on a high.Nathan Ellis has been outstanding•AFP/Getty Images

Team news: Philippe’s middle-order role, India to remain unchanged Fringe white-ball player Matt Short was in good touch on the Gold Coast after replacing Travis Head, who is preparing for the Ashes. Short made 25 off 19 balls before the wheels fell off the innings. Josh Philippe made just 10 at No. 5 in his first T20I innings in almost two years and may be battling to hold his spot, with Mitch Owen a chance to return.Australia (possible): 1 Matt Short, 2 Mitchell Marsh (capt), 3 Josh Inglis (wk), 4 Tim David, 5 Mitch Owen/Josh Philippe, 6 Marcus Stoinis, 7 Glenn Maxwell, 8 Xavier Bartlett, 9 Ben Dwarshuis, 10 Nathan Ellis, 11 Adam ZampaIndia are unlikely to tinker with their successful blueprint and should roll out the same XI even though conditions probably won’t be as conducive to turn.India (possible): 1 Abhishek Sharma, 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Suryakumar Yadav (capt), 4 Tilak Varma, 5 Axar Patel, 6 Washington Sundar, 7 Jitesh Sharma, 8 Shivam Dube, 9 Arshdeep Singh, 10 Varun Chakravarthy, 11 Jasprit BumrahPitch and conditionsAs is the norm this time of year in Brisbane, there is the threat of thunderstorms later in the day. The Gabba surface traditionally has plenty of pace and bounce to encourage the seamers, but runs can also flow freely with BBL games at the ground often noted for high totals.Stats and triviaJasprit Bumrah is one away from 100 T20I wickets. He would become the first India player to have 100 wickets in all three formats.The last time Australia lost at least three straight T20Is was a four-game skid to West Indies and Bangladesh in July 2021. India have not won three consecutive T20Is against Australia since a clean sweep in January 2016 in Australia. Australia’s four-run victory over India in November 2018 is the only previous T20I match between the teams at the Gabba.Quotes”I find it challenging in bilateral series because you’re bowling to the same batters every second night, every third night. So it becomes a little bit of cat-and-mouse of what did I do to them last time, what are they looking for?”
“The quality bowling we have, the spinners, the fast bowlers, I trust them and the whole team trusts our bowlers.”

Sem oportunidades em 2024 até o empate com o time de Diadema, Bidon acertou a renovação contratual com o Corinthians em fevereiro. A multa rescisória é de R$ 80 milhões para o mercado nacional e 50 milhões de euros (R$ 273 milhões) para clubes do exterior. O Timão detém 90% dos direitos do meia-campista, enquanto o restante pertence ao próprio atleta.

Em busca de opções para o ataque, o Peixe pretendia comprar o atleta e avançou com uma proposta. No entanto, ele rejeitou a investida alvinegra. A informação sobre o desfecho das tratativas foi publicada inicialmente pelo “Ge” e confirmada pelo Lance!.

Breno Lopes tem contrato com o Palmeiras até o fim de 2024 e, a partir da metade do ano, pode assinar um pré-contrato. Existia a possibilidade dele rumar ao Santos, por exemplo, sem custos na próxima temporada. A tentativa do Peixe, porém, era de ter o atacante já para a disputa da Série B.

Ambientado e satisfeito no Alviverde, o atleta ainda pode firmar vínculo com qualquer clube em julho e deixar a equipe de Abel Ferreira “de graça”.

HOMEM DE CONFIANÇA

Mesmo com menos espaço no Palmeiras em 2024, Breno Lopes foi procurado pelo Vasco antes do interesse do Santos. Em meados de fevereiro, o Cruz-Maltino tentou contratá-lo, mas o jogador também não se animou.

Na ocasião, Abel Ferreira também não se empolgou com a ideia de liberá-lo. O treinador chegou a declarar publicamente que era favorável à permanência.

O atleta perdeu espaço no Verdão após ser um dos destaques na reta final da última edição do Brasileirão, quando o Alviverde arrancou rumo ao título tendo ele como dupla de ataque de Endrick. Em 2024, Breno tem oito partidas e um gol marcado.

Man Utd have a "beast" in the academy who's another Casemiro in the making

When Ruben Amorim stood and spoke to a disgruntled Old Trafford arena at the end of the 2024/25 campaign, he promised things would improve at Manchester United.

They had to, right? A 15th-place Premier League finish and defeat in the Europa League final had put a cold dampener on any optimism that might have been eked from Erik ten Hag’s dismissal only in October 2024.

But things are improving. Three wins (including the victory at Anfield) and a draw in the top flight have renewed United’s hopes of getting a foot back through the European door. There’s a long way to go, but many players are standing up where they languished before.

The summer recruits have been impactful, but one of the most intriguing stories of the season is the resurgence of Casemiro.

Casemiro is revived in midfield

Man United probably haven’t received bang for their buck since signing Casemiro from Real Madrid for a fee in excess of £70m in 2022.

The 33-year-old has ebbed and flowed, ebbed and flowed, and the brunt of Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher’s infamous monologue toward the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

But he’s been increasingly influential under Amorim’s wing, with reporter Alex Turk even going as far as to call him “the soul of this team”. He is playing like he’s regained a few years, having won 58% of his duels and averaged two tackles per game (as per Sofascore).

Partly, this is because Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are such mobile and athletic forwards. They will drop into deeper areas and connect with their midfielders, thus limiting the amount of ground the Brazilian veteran needs to cover each game.

Casemiro is becoming undroppable in the engine room, but he pockets a staggering £350k-per-week salary and is out of a deal at the end of the campaign, albeit with an option to extend for a further year.

Sourcing a replacement will not be easy, but Carrington graduate Kobbie Mainoo would fancy his chances, even having played such a paucity of football under the Portuguese tactician’s management.

There may, however, be another academy star looking to wedge his way into the senior set-up.

Man Utd's next Casemiro

Manchester United have long boasted one of the richest and most impressive academy systems in world football. And with Marcus Rashford having divorced from the Theatre of Dreams, it might be that a new homegrown hero is needed to add a dimension to Amorim’s reign.

Well, that player could come in the form of U21 starlet Sekou Kone, who, aged 19, has been enjoying himself in Darren Fletcher’s set-up after leaving Malian side Guidars FC for around £1m plus add-ons in 2024.

The robust, rangy midfielder has not featured this season after a horrific collision suffered against Tamworth in August, but he made 14 appearances for the U21s last term and produced some stunning performances, with scout Antonio Mango even claiming he has the skillset to become “a beast under Amorim”.

Aggressive and powerful, analyst Ben Mattinson has noted that Kone is “uber composed on the ball and so press resistant.” Furthermore, it has been said that he has a tireless engine and a range of skills that could see him play that Casemiro-esque role down the line. Elements of this can be traced back to last season, when he shone for the youth side during a 4-1 loss against Huddersfield.

During that heavy EFL Trophy defeat, he only played 42 minutes before picking up an injury, but made a real impression all the same.

It’s important to note that Kone has weathered his share of adversity at this early-career stage. He has the minerals to succeed at a great club like the Red Devils, and he has bags of talent besides.

Casemiro may extend his stay at Old Trafford for another year, but he’s getting old and will only last for so long.

15-year-old forward JJ Gabriel has been included in a number of first-team training sessions this season, and Amorim is willing to welcome up-and-coming talents up to the senior fold if he feels they have the right skillset to make a difference.

Kone certainly does at that, and if he manages to find form and fluency over the coming months, there’s every chance that the boss could view him as a left-field option to help fill Casemiro’s big boots.

Carrington's "best talent" is a big Sesko upgrade in the making at Man Utd

Manchester United could yet improve further in attack under Amorim’s wing.

The upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup will have a prize pool of USD 13.88 million. This marks almost a fourfold rise from the previous ODI World Cup, held in New Zealand in 2022, which had an overall pool of USD 3.5 million, and also marks a significant increase from the USD 10 million pool for the Men’s ODI World Cup in India two years ago.This World Cup, the 13th edition, will have the highest prize money for the winners of a women’s global tournament: USD 4.48 million, a 239 percent increase from the USD 1.32 million awarded to Australia in 2022. The runners-up will receive USD 2.24 million – an increase of 273 percent in comparison to the USD 600,000 England won three years ago. The losing semi-finalists will receive USD 1.12 million each – up from USD 300,000 in 2022 – while the group-stage participants are guaranteed to earn USD 250,000.For each group-stage win, teams will earn a further USD 34,314. At the end of the group stage, the teams that finish fifth and sixth will be awarded USD 700,000 each, while those who finish seventh and eighth will earn USD 280,000.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

“Our message is simple, women cricketers must know they will be treated on par with men if they choose this sport professionally,” Jay Shah, the ICC chair, said in a statement. “The uplift [in prize money] underscores our ambition to deliver a world-class ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup and to inspire the next generation of players and fans. Women’s cricket is on a remarkable upward trajectory, and with this step we are confident the momentum will accelerate.”This edition of the World Cup will take place in India and Sri Lanka from September 30. Though the opening match of the tournament, between India and Sri Lanka, is less than a month away, tickets are yet to go on sale. However, the ICC has said that tickets are expected to go on sale online this week.The tickets for the 2022 World Cup were available six months ahead of the tournament.
