Retrospectiva LANCE!: três técnicos e os mesmos problemas marcaram o declínio do Vasco em 2021

MatériaMais Notícias

O Vasco teve três técnicos ao longo da temporada de 2021. E o roteiro foi o mesmo: eles chegaram animados, orgulhosos e convictos da qualidade dos jogadores que comandariam. Mas cada um deles deixou aspectos de energia sugada. Como quem faz o que pode, mas sem ser suficiente e passível de explicação. Com nenhum dos três, o time engrenou a ponto de entrar no G4 e o acesso não passou de um sonho.

A vergonha desempenhada pelo time na Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro não destaca negativamente um ou outro treinador. Marcelo Cabo, Lisca e Fernando Diniz tentaram implantar um estilo de jogo, que fizesse a equipe avançar. O primeiro deles foi o menos pior em números, o segundo desistiu e o terceiro foi outra vítima de um elenco desequilibrado e sem peças de reposição de qualidade.

A sequência final que resultou na permanência na segunda divisão se deu com Diniz, mas os problemas foram basicamente os mesmos, desde o início. A montagem do elenco e o modelo de jogo tiveram Marcelo Cabo como aparente comandante, mas ele era uma peça da engrenagem. Desde a estreia, a fragilidade defensiva era nítida e a bola aérea um tormento anunciado.

O time apresentava problemas, demorava para se ajustar e quando pareceu ter encontrado um rumo aconteceu a demissão. Havia uma meta elevada de pontos, para o período dos três últimos jogos, que acabou não sendo cumprida. Cabo enxergou que o time renderia mais em um estilo de jogo reativo, dando a posse de bola para o adversário, mas não teve tempo de ver isso se transformar em pontos.

Cheio de carisma, Lisca estreou com goleada por 4 a 1 sobre o Guarani, em São Januário, e encheu a torcida de esperança. Colocou Teresa Cristina para tocar no celular na entrevista coletiva pós-jogo e parecia mesmo “Doido”. Empolgado e muito motivado. Mas foi minguando e se mostrando impotente diante da não recuperação da equipe na competição.

Sob o comando do treinador gaúcho, o Vasco caiu ainda mais de rendimento e foi presa fácil para os adversários. Velhos problemas davam o ar da graça a cada rodada. Erros coletivos e individuais, as jogadas aéreas, deslizes na saída de bola e espaços para contra-ataques. O ápice foi ver dois medalhistas olímpicos, que voltaram com moral, falharem diante do Londrina.

Sem rumo e longe do G4, o Vasco novamente foi ao mercado. E Fernando Diniz comandou o último fio de esperança. O início foi até promissor com vitórias em casa e aeroportos lotados como visitante. Porém, os velhos problemas foram implicáveis e o comandante não teve tempo de corrigi-los.

Foi ele à beira do campo em dois dos momentos mais vexatórios da história do Vasco: as derrotas, como se deram, no contexto dado, para Botafogo e Vitória.

E coube ao interino Fábio Cortez finalizar a pífia campanha sem conseguir triunfar (últimas três partidas). Na conta, oito jogos sem vencer e um ano para esquecer.

Injured Shardul Thakur out of Lord's Test

India will have a tough call to make between R Ashwin and a fourth seamer

Nagraj Gollapudi11-Aug-202110:06

Laxman: India should play Ashwin to add variety and strength

India have suffered a selection headache on the eve of the second Test against England with a hamstring injury ruling out Shardul Thakur. Captain Virat Kohli confirmed during his press conference on Wednesday that Thakur had a left hamstring injury and he is likely to be ready for the third Test*.Thakur arrived for training on Monday at Lord’s and spent time in the gym alongside the India physiotherapist Nitin Patel and trainer Nick Webb. Thakur, who was India’s fourth seamer during the first Test in Nottingham, picked up four wickets – two in each innings. Doubts surfaced about Thakur’s fitness when he only sent down 13 overs in England’s second innings – the fewest of India’s quicks – although he did not show any evident unease on the outside.The key question now for India is who replaces Thakur. With conditions in London forecast to be warm and dry – with temperatures in the early 20s for the entire duration of the Test – India have the choice of either picking a second spinning allrounder in R Ashwin or a fourth seamer in Ishant Sharma or Umesh Yadav, considering reverse-swing could be in play along with the seam movement and conventional swing that are usually on offer in English conditions.

At the end of the Trent Bridge Test, which ended in a rain-affected draw, Kohli said he was happy with the template India had picked, with four fast bowlers and one spin-bowling allrounder in Ravindra Jadeja.The complication with playing a fourth seamer other than Thakur, however, is it will leave India with a long tail, with no reliable lower-order contributor to be found among Ishant, Umesh, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah or Mohammed Siraj. Apart from his swing bowling, Thakur’s selection at Trent Bridge also hinged on his batting at No. 8.On Monday, at their first training session ahead of the second Test, Ashwin did not bat, but Ishant had a complete session. It was Ishant’s first time back in the nets after playing in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand in June. At Trent Bridge before and during the Test, Ishant was seen going through several fitness tests under the watch of Patel and Webb, even though insiders maintained there was no injury. On Monday, though, Ishant bowled without any concern for at least an hour and then had a long batting session, receiving throwdowns from the India batting coach Vikram Rathour.*1212 GMT, August 11, 2021: The story was updated after Virat Kohli’s press conference

How Jemimah Rodrigues levelled up in the Hundred

Tournament’s leading run-scorer credits ignoring criticism for her upturn in form

Vishal Dikshit11-Aug-2021India and Northern Superchargers batter Jemimah Rodrigues says she handled criticism by “ignoring it” as she overcame a few “tough months” in international cricket this year to emerge as the Hundred’s leading scorer after nearly 80% of the tournament’s league matches had been played.Rodrigues started the tournament with a scintillating and unbeaten 92 off 43 balls, studded with 17 fours and a six, to script a dramatic come-from-behind win for her team, and followed it with two more half-centuries – 60 off 41 and 57 off 44 – to accumulate 241 runs in five innings, averaging 60.25 and striking at 154.48.This purple patch came after Rodrigues had been dropped from India’s T20I side in England following her single-digit scores in the two ODIs she played before that.”For me the best way to handle criticism is to ignore it, not even go online or read stuff because it’s difficult when you are doing your best and working hard, nobody knows what you’ve gone through, the tears, the heartbreaks, the sweat you’ve put out to be where you are,” Rodrigues said while commentating on on Tuesday. “And someone sitting miles away posting stuff on social media…it’s tough, and the way I handled this time to stay away from it as far as possible so I can focus on my game and be in the right head space.”Rodrigues, 20, had been one of the most promising Indian talents after making her international debut in 2018 but found herself in a rut in 2021 when cricket finally resumed for India after a year-long hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the ODIs against South Africa at home, she managed scores of 1, 9 and 0 before scoring 30 and 16 in the T20Is. In England a few months later, she played only the second and third ODIs and laboured to 8 off 15 and 4 off 21 before being benched for the T20I series. She was part of the Test squad too but missed out on a debut even as five of her team-mates were handed their maiden Test caps in Bristol.Jemimah Rodrigues is the leading run-scorer in the Hundred•Getty Images

Coming into the Hundred, she was averaging only 9.71 across seven international innings this year with a tally of 68 runs and an unimpressive strike rate of 61.26.”It’s been a rollercoaster ride for me, I’ve had ups and downs,” Rodrigues said of coping with the pressures of being an India player. “That’s what cricket is all about, it teaches you so much, changes you personally not just as a player, as a human being.”I’m still learning how to find that balance because it’s not easy. The last few months were pretty tough but it’s good to be back and somewhere it’s important to find that balance in cricket.”Rodrigues further said the one-year gap she got after the 2020 T20 World Cup final against Australia also helped her “get back to basics”.”It was very difficult [to not play for so long] and sometimes it was annoying because we’re so used to living off our suitcases, travelling, going around the world and playing cricket,” she said. “The first two months were good because we needed a break and got a lot of time to spend with our family but after that my family was also fed up asking, ‘when is Jemimah going (laughs)?’ OK, they didn’t say that.”We couldn’t wait [to play]. And after that we watched a few matches, like the England and Australia women’s teams were playing and we were like, ‘when will we get to play?’ because there were a lot of [Covid-19] cases in India so it was very tough for us to practice, to get a ground. I used to practice in my building in a small lane, with a plastic ball so that the cars wouldn’t break. So it was tough times and it taught me a lot and helped me get back to my basics.”Jemimah Rodrigues used the time she had off during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic to ‘get back to basics’•Getty Images

With the men’s IPL set to resume in the UAE next month, Rodrigues also hoped for the return of the Women’s T20 Challenge too, which is usually played around the playoffs stage.”It’s high time we start the women’s IPL (Women’s T20 Challenge),” she said. “We all are very excited for it and the BCCI is doing a lot to get it started. Hopefully this time it starts soon because it’s only going to boost women’s cricket in India, and you never know you’ll get the likes of Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh, all these players coming out. Like Shafali made her [India] debut after playing the Women’s T20 challenge. So hopefully we’ll have the Women’s T20 Challenge soon.”India have finished runners-up twice in the last three women’s global tournaments – the 2020 T20 World Cup and the 2017 ODI World Cup – and Rodrigues said it was the 50-over tournament in 2017 that made a “drastic change in women’s cricket in India”.”Things have changed a lot. After the 2017 World Cup, I personally saw a drastic change in women’s cricket in India. I used to go to a ground and there were 200 boys and I was the only girl. But now when I go there, there’s a special net only for girls right where I practice. That’s one of the most pleasing sights for me, that young girls taking up sport and parents coming up and telling ‘ (I want my daughter to play for India).’ Things have changed a lot.”

Botafogo busca substituto para Chay e quer reforço no meio-campo

MatériaMais Notícias

Uma das prioridades da diretoria do Botafogo para 2022 é reforçar o elenco visando os compromissos da temporada. Um dos itens na ‘lista’ passa por encontrar um substituto imediato para Chay, jogador que sofreu com dores durante todo o ano e, inclusive, passou por uma cirurgia no joelho para corrigir problemas no local.

+ Ao L!, Chay elogia diretoria do Botafogo e destaca trabalho de Enderson: ‘Tem todos os méritos’

Um meio-campista para ser, ao mesmo tempo, a opção direta ao camisa 14 e também atuar em uma linha mais recuada do setor é um dos alvos do clube de General Severiano no mercado da bola.

Chico, do Juventude, e Matheus Vargas, do Fortaleza, são dois nomes no radar. O primeiro passou por uma sondagem e é analisado. O segundo chegou a ter negociações em andamento, mas recebeu uma proposta de renovação e deve ficar no Leão do Pici.

+ Tem lesão? Entenda por que Chay, do Botafogo, vai fazer uma cirurgia no joelho visando 2022

Luiz Henrique, que jogou por empréstimo junto ao Fortaleza na reta final da Série B do Brasileirão, poderia fazer essa função, mas não teve atuações que encheram os olhos da cúpula alvinegra e muito provavelmente não fica no clube na temporada 2021.

Uma ‘opção caseira’ passa por Juninho, um dos destaques da equipe sub-20 na temporada. O meio-campista fará a pré-temporada com o time profissional e é justamente um jogador que atua na faixa mais avançada do meio.

Achar alguém para ser uma opção direta para Chay, um jogador que precisou passar por um procedimento para aliviar as dores no joelho, aparece como uma das prioridades justamente para dar mais opções a Enderson Moreira.

سقط فريق آرسنال في فخ الهزيمة أمام جاره اللندني وست هام يونايتد بهدف دون رد، في إطار منافسات الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وواجه آرسنال نظيره وست هام يونايتد، ضمن منافسات الجولة السادسة والعشرين من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، على ملعب “الإمارات”.

في الشوط الأول وعند الدقيقة 44، أحرز جارود بوين الهدف الأول لصالح وست هام من ضربة رأسية، سكنت شباك ديفيد رايا وذلك بعدما تلقى تمريرة عرضية من وان بيساكا.

في الشوط الثاني، أتيحت عدة فرص للاعبي آرسنال، من أجل تعديل نتيجة المباراة عن طريق كل من تروسارد ومارتن أوديجارد.

ولم يستطع لاعبو الجانرز، تشكيل أي خطورة على مرمى وست هام، طوال الشوط الثاني وحتى نهاية اللقاء إلا في مرات قليلة للغاية.

وبحلول الدقيقة 73، تحصل البديل لويس سكيلي على البطاقة الحمراء وذلك عقب إرتكابه مخالفة ضد محمد قدوس في وسط الملعب.

بذلك فشل آرسنال في تحقيق الفوز والنقاط الثلاث، ليوسع فارق النقاط مع ليفربول المتصدر إلى 8 نقاط قبل أن يخوض الريدز مواجهة الغد ضد مانشستر سيتي ومن الممكن أن يصل الفارق إلى 11 نقطة.

جدير بالذكر أن ليفربول قد خاض مباراة إضافية عن آرسنال، بملاقاة أستون فيلا في لقاء مبكر عن منافسات الجولة التاسعة والعشرين الذي انتهى بالتعادل الإيجابي بهدفين لكل فريق.

وبهذه النتيجة، تجمد رصيد آرسنال عند النقطة 53 في المركز الثاني في ترتيب الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، بينما ارتفع رصيد وست هام يونايتد إلى النقطة 30 في المركز السادس عشر. أهداف مباراة آرسنال ووست هام اليوم في الدوري الإنجليزي 

Forget Solanke: Spurs have unearthed a different "Harry Kane replacement"

As Tottenham Hotspur head into another international break, there remain more questions than answers for manager Ange Postecoglou, with the former Celtic boss having seen his side wilt in the second half on Sunday evening.

Having looked at their scintillating best away to Manchester United last week, the Lilywhites appeared set for more of the same after racing into a 2-0 lead at the Amex, with Brennan Johnson and James Maddison powering the visitors into a deserved lead.

As they were under Roberto De Zerbi, however, this Brighton and Hove Albion side are no pushovers, with former Newcastle United asset Yankuba Minteh kick-starting a stunning fightback to leave Spurs languishing in ninth in the Premier League table following that eventual 3-2 defeat.

Of course, much will be made of that second-half collapse and the north Londoners’ wretched individual mistakes, yet if Postecoglou does wish to look on the brighter side, he will be impressed that his attacking unit is beginning to click into gear – including summer signing, Dominic Solanke.

Solanke's start to life at Spurs

The former Bournemouth talisman – who arrived on a club-record £65m deal this summer – may not be the new Harry Kane (we’ll come onto that), but he has slotted in smoothly to Postecoglou’s ranks, having notably chalked up an assist for Johnson against the Seagulls.

It had been an initial slow start to life in North London for the 26-year-old due to injury – while he also notably spurned a handful of chances in the draw to Leicester City – but he has since gone on to register five goal involvements in just eight games in all competitions thus far.

That includes the final goal in the richly-deserved win over the Red Devils last weekend, with the Englishman showcasing his predatory instincts to poke home from Pape Matar Sarr’s flick on at the near post.

While the one-time Chelsea and Liverpool striker does have a long way to go to pay off that sizeable price tag, Postecoglou will no doubt be pleased that his patience in the new man has been vindicated.

The same can also be said of one of Solanke’s attacking teammates, with it looking as if Spurs have found an unlikely successor to Kane if the early knockings of this season are anything to go by.

Spurs' new Harry Kane

Trying to emulate a man who chalked up 280 goals for the club is no mean feat, with the north Londoners having perhaps struggled to fill the England skipper’s void last season, as number nine Richarlison scored just 11 league goals.

While Solanke – who recorded 19 top-flight efforts for the Cherries in 2023/24 – arguably represents a notable upgrade on the stricken Brazilian, it is actually that man Johnson who has surprisingly taken on the goalscoring burden of late.

Signed on deadline day back in the summer of 2023, the former Nottingham Forest man enjoyed an encouraging debut campaign at N17, having registered 15 goals and assists in the league under Postecoglou’s watch.

With a hefty £47.5m price tag looming above him, however, much has been expected of the Wales international, with criticism toward him reaching boiling point in the early stage of the season, as he subsequently deactivated his social media accounts after suffering abuse from ‘supporters’ following the derby defeat to Arsenal.

Rather than wilting under the scrutiny, however, the 23-year-old has clapped back – and them some – since then, having netted in six successive games in all competitions, after proving the rescue man away to Coventry City in the EFL Cup.

The flying winger has shown a remarkable composure in front of goal that even the aforementioned Kane would be proud of, with his latest strike away on the south coast having led journalist Dean Jones to dub him an unlikely “Harry Kane replacement”.

In all, the £70k-per-week star now boasts 21 goals and assists in just 44 games for Spurs, indicating the real attacking weapon that he has become down the right flank.

Brennan Johnson

As such, while it may be Solanke knitting things together in that central role, Postecoglou may have unearthed a clinical, ‘Kane-like’ presence in front of goal in the form of Johnson.

Long may it continue.

O goleiro Marcelo Lomba e o meia Eduard Atuesta chamaram a atenção e realizaram os testes físicos e exames clínicos junto do restante do grupo.

Já o atacante Rafael Navarro acabou afastado junto de outros quatro companheiros de time, Weverton, Patrick de Paula, Gustavo Scarpa e Breno Lopes. Todos foram diagnosticados com Covid-19, estão assintomáticos e ficarão em isolamento até o próximo dia 15.

Em parceria do Palmeiras com o Hospital Sírio-Libanês (que ocorre desde 2017), os jogadores, divididos em turnos, realizaram no centro de excelência exames cardiológicos e avaliações laboratoriais em geral, além de testes físicos com profissionais do Núcleo de Saúde e Performance.

“Temos uma parceria com o Hospital Sírio-Libanês e, graças a isso, pudemos fazer todos os exames dentro da nossa estrutura na Academia de Futebol. Fizemos exames laboratoriais, de urina e análises clínicas, além de ultrassom, ecocardiografia e ergoespirometria para avaliar a função cardiopulmonar. Assim, poderemos prosseguir com o planejamento e a preparação para este mês importante de pré-temporada. Fomos bem-sucedidos graças à competência dos profissionais, a adesão dos atletas e isso vai nos trazer agilidade para deixar todos em plenas condições para a comissão técnica”, explicou Pedro Pontin, médico do Palmeiras.

Com Weverton fora, a expectativa é que Lomba inicie a temporada como titular. O primeiro desafio do Verdão no ano é no próximo dia 23, contra o Novorizontino, pelo Paulistão. Até lá, o clube deve fazer pelo menos quatro jogos-treinos. O primeiro é sábado, diante do Pouso Alegre (MG), na Academia.

Jonny Bairstow, Chris Woakes, Dawid Malan join Jos Buttler in pulling out of IPL

Markram replaces Malan, Rutherford replaces Bairstow as bubble fatigue, demanding winter prompt English withdrawals

Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler are among a number of England players to pull out of the IPL•Getty Images

Several of England’s all-format players have withdrawn from this year’s IPL as a result of bubble fatigue and in anticipation of a long winter.Jonny Bairstow, Chris Woakes and Dawid Malan have joined Jos Buttler in confirming their withdrawals. Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes had pulled out previously.Malan will be replaced at Punjab Kings for the rest of the season by Aiden Markram. Bairstow’s spot in Sunrisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, has been taken up by Sherfane Rutherford.Bairstow (Sunrisers), Woakes (Delhi Capitals), Malan and Buttler (Rajasthan Royals) have all been named in England’s T20 World Cup squad and might expect to be named in England’s Ashes tour party, too. As a result, they face the prospect of more than four months away from home including time in quarantine as they move from country to country. Buttler and Woakes are the fathers of young children, with Buttler having just celebrated the arrival of his second child.It has emerged in recent days that all players heading to the IPL (which resumes on September 19) would be required to undergo six days of quarantine. This may well have been a contributory factor in the abandonment of the Manchester Test.Related

Moeen Ali, Sam Billings, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, George Garton, Eoin Morgan, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Liam Livingstone and Jason Roy are the England players still expected to participate in the IPL. Some are expected to fly to the UAE today (Saturday) on a commercial flight. One or two others may not depart until after T20 Finals Day (on September 18). From that group of players, only Sam Curran and Moeen are expected to be named in the Ashes touring party, though it would be no surprise at all if Moeen, a father of two young children, withdrew from that.Indeed, the future of that tour looks more precarious than ever after the events at Emirates Old Trafford. A significant number of senior players remain deeply uncomfortable with the prospect of a two-week quarantine at the start of that tour and, even more so, at the prospect of putting their families through the same. As a result, a number of high-profile withdrawals seem inevitable.In relation to the Ashes tour, Tom Harrison, ECB chief executive, told Sky Sports on Friday: “Now that this Test series has come to an early conclusion, that becomes priority number one for us to work through with the players. It’s a conversation which now takes the centre stage, because it’s looming large on the horizon.”While the ECB are adamant the tour will go ahead, the prospect of a second-string England side competing in the Ashes is real. Whether that is deemed to compromise the integrity of the events remains to be seen.A crucial issue for the England players is the uncertainly surrounding travel to Australia at present. While there has been talk of allowing them to serve a relatively soft quarantine – perhaps in a resort hotel on the Gold Coast which would allow them access to golf courses – there are no guarantees. Perhaps more importantly, there are no guarantees such privileges would be extended to traveling family members. There is also the prospect of further quarantine requirements as the tour party moves between states.”We should always have that ambition in mind to go to Australia with our best possible team,” Harrison said. “It’s an iconic Test series to play in, all England players want to be part of it.”I totally understand the players’ perspective on families being present and the conditions under which families are present. I also don’t think there’s anything unreasonable about the way that debate has been positioned.”It’s a conversation we’re having in partnership with Cricket Australia and the Australian government, all trying to get to the right solution for everyone to feel comfortable about going.”What events at Emirates Old Trafford underline, however, is the power of modern players and their refusal to be cajoled into endless tournaments. Not even the IPL or the Ashes are immune to such pressures.
