Na Arena do Grêmio, o Internacional saiu de campo frustrado, pois levou o gol que deu a vitória ao Tricolor nos minutos finais. Autor do único tento do Colorado, o meia Alan Patrick não escondeu a sua chateação pelo revés por 2 a 1.
– É doído sofrer um gol no último minuto. Um jogo lutado. Conseguimos criar chances, o empate, mas manter a cabeça. É sempre difícil perder GreNal, mas precisamos ter a mentalidade forte. Vamos focar para buscar o título. Agora temos que mostrar o quão forte somos. Reavaliaremos tudo – afirmou ao Premiere.

– Acabamos de enfrentar o Ituano neste ano, foi um jogo difícil e pude marcar um gol. É uma equipe complicada, jogamos na ocasião fora de casa e agora, dentro da nossa casa, com o nosso torcedor, a gente tem tudo para fazermos um belíssimo jogo. Não é porque eles não tiveram uma classificação fácil que vamos esperar um jogo fácil. Aqui no Palmeiras todo mundo tem os pés no chão e muita humildade. Vamos dar o nosso melhor, como sempre, e buscar a classificação para a final – disse Tabata.
O camisa 11 do Palmeiras também falou sobre a semana de treinos e afirmou estar mais confiante após a sua boa atuação no último confronto do Alviverde.
– A semana cheia cria um entrosamento natural com jogadores que não estavam tão acostumados a jogar junto. A gente pôde fazer boas combinações com Rocha, Menino e Zé. Tentamos também afinar mais ainda porque não é só importante o momento de estar com a bola, mas também os movimentos sem ela. Nossa equipe tem esses movimentos muito bem feitos há anos, desde quando o Abel chegou. É tentar entender o máximo a dinâmica da equipe para poder crescer junto na temporada.
– Semana boa de trabalho, mais uma semana cheia, é importante. O Paulista vinha com uma sequência grande de jogos e complica para treinar e adquirir entrosamento. Foi mais uma semana para afinarmos tudo certinho e para fazermos mais um grande jogo e sairmos com a classificação. E confiança no futebol é tudo, todo jogador com confiança rende mais, arrisca mais. Acredito que nossa equipe fez um grande jogo contra o São Bernardo e temos tudo para manter isso contra o Ituano – afirmou o meia.

O elenco volta a treinar neste sábado (18), às 10h, na Academia de Futebol. O Verdão agora busca mais uma vitória para chegar mais perto de conquistar o seu segundo título no ano. O primeiro foi o da Supercopa do Brasil diante do Flamengo.
O Botafogo apresentou defeitos novamente, mas conseguiu um resultado positivo diante do Ypiranga no Colosso da Lagoa, nesta quarta-feira. Com dois gols de Eduardo, os alvinegros venceram os canarinhos por 2 a 0 em Erechim, pelo jogo de ida da terceira fase da Copa do Brasil. Destaque para reestreia de Júnior Santos, que entrou no decorrer do segundo tempo e construiu muitas jogadas de perigo no fim da partida. O time de Luís Castro agora pode perder por até um gol de diferença no Nilton Santos que garantirá uma classificação para as oitavas de final da da competição.
O Glorioso entrou em campo apostando nas jogadas de Gustavo Sauer e Luis Henrique pelos lados, na criatividade de Eduardo e no faro de gols de Tiquinho Soares. O Ypiranga, por outro lado, focava na solidez defensiva, na inspiração do meia João Pedro e no oportunismo dos atacantes Erick Farias, Marcos Vinícius e Rubens.

GOL CEDO DO GLORIOSO
Di Plácido fez uma bela jogada pelo lado direito e achou Tchê Tchê, que chutou forte, Caíque deu rebote, e Eduardo, de cabeça, marcou aos quatro minutos. Depois do gol, os jogadores alvinegros pararam de pressionar os adversários e tiveram problemas para se encontrar no jogo. Além dos lances de Luis Henrique pelo lado esquerdo, não tiveram muitas oportunidades claras de perigo do Botafogo no primeiro tempo.
PRESSÃO DO YPIRANGA
O Ypiranga explorou ataques em velocidade depois do gol sofrido nos minutos iniciais e só não chegou ao empate por causa de Lucas Perri. O paredão fez duas belas defesas nos chutes de Ivan e João Pedro no começo do jogo e impediu que Heitor marcasse de cabeça do fim do primeiro tempo. O time de Luizinho Vieira foi mais consistente nos 45 minutos iniciais e construiu boas jogadas, mas acabou não sendo eficiente na hora de finalizar.

O Ypiranga entrou no segundo tempo com uma intensidade alta e deu trabalho para os defensores alvinegros nos primeiros minutos. Aos 18, Adryelson tentou afastar uma cobrança de escanteio e a bola acabou batendo no travessão. Em seguida, João Pedro realizou uma bela cobrança de falta, mas acabou indo para fora.

Na reta final do segundo tempo, Júnior Santos apareceu de novo. O jogador realizou uma bela jogada na entrada da área e deixou em condições ideais para que Eduardo balançasse às redes novamente. Depois do segundo gol sofrido, os canarinhos não tiveram mais força para pressionar os alvinegros. O jogo terminou 2 a 0.

O Palmeiras já conquistou dois títulos na temporada (Supercopa do Brasil e Paulistão) e entra como um dos favoritos a conquistar os outros três que disputa (Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil e Libertadores). No entanto, a expectativa por reforços está sempre presente na torcida, especialmente quando o elenco passa a sofrer com algumas baixas por lesão, entre elas a de Raphael Veiga. Leila Pereira, porém, não pretende pensar em contratações para este momento.

A palavra “tempinho” proferida por Raphael Veiga traz preocupação para a torcida palmeirense, que vê um de seus principais jogadores desfalcar o time em uma fase crítica da temporada. Além disso, não há um substituto no elenco, até porque Bruno Tabata também está em recuperação e Jhon Jhon e Luis Guilherme não estariam prontos para encarar a titularidade. No entanto, quem acha que a diretoria irá atrás de reforços, pode esquecer, como a própria presidente Leila Pereira declarou.

Apesar de praticamente descartar a chegada de novos jogadores para esta etapa da temporada, Leila admitiu a possibilidade de fazer contratações para o meio do ano, caso o departamento de futebol decida pela ida ao mercado. A princípio, Artur e Richard Ríos serão os únicos reforços.
-Por enquanto, não (contratará reforços). No meio do ano, não sei ainda. Gente, ainda estamos em abril… É, mas daqui a pouco já é meio do ano. Por enquanto, não há nenhuma novidade.

Joginder Sharma, the man who picked up Misbah-ul-Haq’s wicket to give India victory in the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.”My journey from 2002-2017 has been the most wonderful years of my life for it was an honour representing India at the highest level of sport,” Joginder said in a statement. “To all my team-mates, coaches, mentors and support staff: It has been an absolute privilege to have played with you all, and, I thank you all for helping turn my dream into reality.”I am excited to announce that I will be exploring new opportunities in the world of cricket & the business side of it, where I will also continue to participate in the sport that I love and challenge myself in new and different environment. I believe that this is the next step in my journey as a cricketer and I look forward to this new chapter in my life.”Related

Joginder represented India in four ODIs and as many T20Is between 2004 and 2007, picking up a total of five wickets. In the final moments of the 2007 T20 World Cup final against Pakistan, Joginder was handed the ball by captain MS Dhoni to bowl the final over. With Pakistan needing six runs off four balls with one wicket remaining, he got Misbah to scoop to Sreesanth at short fine-leg and set off the celebrations. He never played for India again.He was part of Chennai Super Kings in the IPL for the first four seasons, where he picked up 12 wickets in 16 matches. Representing Haryana in domestic cricket, he played a total of 77 first-class matches, 80 List A matches, and 43 T20s. He last played competitive cricket in 2017, for Haryana in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.While still an active cricketer, Joginder joined the police department in his home state of Haryana, and now serves as a deputy superintendent of police. He was on the front lines during the fight against Covid-19 and, more recently, took part in the 2022 Legends League Cricket tournament.

United were on course to upstage Babar’s masterful 11th T20 century as Azam Khan (75) and Colin Munro (71) combined in an electrifying century stand. But United lost six wickets off the last 13 balls and stumbled to 193 for 9.Yaqoob left two-time champion United shell-shocked after taking four wickets in the penultimate over, that included the key wicket of Munro. Yaqoob finished with 5 for 27.It was Zalmi’s second win in a high-scoring contest in two days after they beat Lahore Qalandars by the same margin on Sunday. Zalmi now have three successive wins in the last four days. United have lost three in a row.Naveen-ul-Haq ignited United’s collapse off his final ball in the 18th over when Azam Khan was caught at mid-off. Yaqoob then bowled one of the most memorable overs in PSL history by dismissing Munro, Haider Ali, Faheem Ashraf and Hunain Shah.Earlier, after being put in to bat, Zalmi was tied down in the middle overs by spinners Shadab Khan (2 for 28) and Agha Salman (1 for 25) until Babar plundered the faster bowlers. Babar reached his half-century off 39 balls and completed his fastest T20 hundred in the next 20 balls. He smashed fast bowler Hunain for four boundaries and a six over extra cover in one over.

Tim David was fined 20% of his match fee•BCCI
Mumbai Indians batter Tim David and batting coach Kieron Pollard have been fined 20% of their match fee for breaching the IPL’s code of conduct during their match against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on Thursday.While the IPL did not reveal the details of the breach, ESPNcricinfo has learned that both Pollard and David were penalised for signalling from the dugout to the on-field batters to seek a review for a wide delivery.The incident took place on the last ball of the 15th over when Arshdeep Singh bowled a full and angled delivery outside off stump that Suryakumar Yadav failed to connect. Suryakumar did not review it initially, but asked for one belatedly. Punjab Kings’ stand-in captain Sam Curran walked up to the on-field umpire and it is understood he was querying whether 15 seconds had elapsed.It is understood that the on-field umpires were clear about the Mumbai batters not looking in the direction of the dugout before asking for the review.Later, the IPL sought the footage from the broadcaster to check for the sequence of events leading to the review. After confirming the Mumbai dugout had clearly prodded the on-field batters, the match officials informed the franchise about the breach.The said clause applied in this case was 3.2.3 in the IPL playing conditions which states: “The two batters may consult with each other prior to deciding whether to request a Player Review. Under no circumstances is any player permitted to query an umpire about any aspect of a decision before deciding on whether or not to request a Player Review.”If the on-field umpires believe that the captain or either batter has received direct or indirect input emanating other than from the players on the field, then they may at their discretion, decline the request for a Player Review. In particular, signals from the dressing room must not be given. Breach of this provision will be liable for reporting under COC.”As per a media release by the IPL, David and Pollard committed a Level 1 offence under Article 2.20, which covers all types of conduct that are contrary to the spirit of the game. However, it did not specify the offence.Article 2.20 states: “When assessing the seriousness of the offence, the context of the particular situation, and whether it was deliberate, reckless, negligent, avoidable and/or accidental, shall be considered. Further, the person lodging the Report shall determine where on the range of severity the conduct lays, with the range of severity starting at conduct of a minor nature (and hence a Level 1 offence) up to conduct of an extremely serious nature (and hence a Level 4 offence).”Both David and Pollard admitted to the offence and accepted the match referee Sanjay Verma’s sanction.Mumbai, who went on to win the match by nine runs, are currently seventh on the points table with three wins and four losses from seven games. Their next match is on Monday, against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.
Leeds United aren’t messing about getting their business done early during the chaotic summer transfer window.
Already, Daniel Farke’s Whites are two signings down with plenty more activity expected at Elland Road, with Lukas Nmecha starting proceedings when joining from Wolfsburg, before Leeds dipped their toes in once more to land Jaka Bijol for a bumper £15m.
Of course, there will be the worry of exits still to come – as faces such as Junior Firpo slowly edge away from their West Yorkshire home – but the general feeling in the air at the newly promoted side will be one of optimism, especially as Leeds are usually notoriously slow out of the traps to seal signings.
Nikola Krstovic could be the next notable pick-up through the door, but the Whites might be able to land an even better signing than the potent Montenegrin if they succeed with this other pursuit.
Leeds join the race for £9m star
As per a new report from journalist Graeme Bailey, Leeds are now in the race to snap up promising Borussia Mönchengladbach left-back Lukas Ullrich this summer.
Bailey states that the Bundesliga giants are looking to tie the Germany U21 international down to a new deal. However, significant interest from the Premier League – away from just Leeds being keen – could potentially jeopardise those talks.
Lukas Ullrich chases Bayern Munich's Michael Olise.
Indeed, it’s stated that Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace, Everton, Brighton, and Nottingham Forest are all also chasing the £9m-rated defender, as per Football Transfers, meaning Leeds will have their work cut out to advance to the front of the queue for Ullrich’s services.
Still, Leeds might well deem it more of a necessary and worthwhile venture chasing after the Berlin-born starlet than continuing to pursue Krstovic, with the newly promoted side desperately short on numbers down the left.
Why Ullrich could be a better signing than Krstovic
Leeds already possess the likes of Joel Piroe and Patrick Bamford in attack, even if the Lecce striker didn’t move on to England, with the Dutchman just fresh off a 19-goal season in the Championship.
Moreover, Bamford – away from his recurring injury problems – is also a Premier League-experienced head that could still offer Farke a worthwhile option if needed, as seen in his respectable 24-goal tally at the intimidating level.
Therefore, it would be safe to assume that the Whites are well-stocked in this department for the time being, with it also being a risk to splash around the £30m mark on Krstovic, considering Georginio Rutter is their most expensive capture ever at just £5.5m more.
Whereas, for £7m, Leeds would be able to win a star in Ullrich, who should only get better with time, and a purchase that is needed far more urgently than another centre-forward joining the building. After all, if you remove Firpo from Leeds’ ever-changing squad, only an ageing Sam Byram is available in the left-back spot.

The in-demand 21-year-old has already shown he can do it on the big occasion for club and country too, as seen in his one goal and two assists last season as an attack-oriented full-back for Gladbach, on top of his recent heroics for his nation at the U21 Euros when his early assist got Germany up and running against the youthful Three Lions.
On the night, the “high intensity” defender – as described by Germany U19 manager Guido Streichsbier – showed he can tussle with the likes of Harvey Elliott and Ethan Nwaneri and come out on top, meaning he might well be ready for the challenge of the Premier League to follow.
Lukas Ullrich against Borussia Dortmund.
He isn’t quite at Firpo’s level just yet, considering the ex-Barcelona defender picked up a hefty ten assists last campaign.
But, having been noted as making “huge strides” already by manager Gerardo Seoane, the Premier League might well just be the next big step he has to adjust to, with Farke also known to get the maximum out of up-and-coming youngsters under his wing.

Leeds are looking to sign a new midfielder this summer
Leicester City appear to have their eyes on a new 4-2-3-1 manager who could come in to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy at the King Power Stadium.
Update on Van Nistelrooy’s future at Leicester City after unwanted record
It has been a hugely disappointing campaign for the Foxes, who are on course for an immediate return to the Championship from the Premier League.
Van Nistelrooy’s side fell to a 3-0 defeat last time out, a record eighth successive top-flight loss at home where Leicester have failed to score a goal.
That is an unwanted record, and there has been plenty of speculation regarding Van Nistelrooy’s future at Leicester.
Talking to Leicester City news, Graeme Bailey said that it is “highly unlikely” Van Nistelrooy remains in charge following Leicester’s pending relegation.
“Ruud van Nistelrooy’s future has not officially been decided, but I am told at this point it is highly unlikely he continues, not impossible, but unlikely.
“He was not backed in January, and some would argue his position has been almost untenable since that failure from those above him, although there is also a feeling in the squad that they did not perform at their best.”

And the reporter has also shared a potential managerial target for the Foxes.
Leicester eyeing up Rosenior as replacement for Van Nistelrooy
Bailey added that Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior could be a potential candidate to replace Van Nistelrooy at the King Power Stadium ahead of the 2025/26 season.
“There is no denying that work is already being done on possible candidates to replace him. I would keep an eye on Liam Rosenior for sure, his stock is massively high. We know Southampton like him, and so no shock that Leicester would be looking, but don’t rule out Chelsea/BlueCo from tying him down to a new long-term deal too.”
RC Strasbourg coach LiamRosenior
The 40-year-old, formerly of Derby County and Hull City, has been impressing in France with Strasbourg and actually shares the same Wasserman agency as Leicester legend Jamie Vardy.
Rosenior, who plays a 4-2-3-1 system, as per Transfermarkt, has Strasbourg occupying a Champions League spot in Ligue 1 with just six games remaining.
He has been linked with Southampton and previously came in for praise from Clinton Morrison, who said: “I actually think he’s a top manager. I spoke to a few people at Derby. He was unlucky to lose his job, the players respected him. He’s one of the best coaches ever.”
However, with Rosenior potentially in charge of a Champions League team next season, a drop down to the Championship could be a hard sell for Leicester.
