Eram 0h10 do último dia 8 quando o diretor de futebol Carlos Belmonte e o coordenador Muricy Ramalho entraram na sala de Rogério Ceni nos vestiários do Morumbi. O treinador acabara de conceder entrevista coletiva à imprensa após a goleada por 4 a 1 sobre a Universidad Católica, do Chile, pela Copa Sul-Americana. E o assunto era a renovação de contrato do treinador com o São Paulo.

+Confira os reforços dos clubes brasileiros que podem estrear a partir do dia 18 de julho

O documento assinado no último domingo (10), no hotel onde o Tricolor estava hospedado em Belo Horizonte (MG), onde acabou empatando sem gols com o Atlético-MG pelo Campeonato Brasileiro estica o seu vínculo até o fim de 2023. Mas é meramente simbólico. Coincide com o término do mandato de Julio Casares na presidência. Mas o recado é de que Ceni fica no São Paulo o tempo que quiser.

Em conversa com o LANCE!, pessoas da cúpula são-paulina apontam que a pá de cal para Casares antecipar as conversas previstas apenas para novembro foi a maneira como Ceni contornou um dos momentos mais traumáticos da temporada: a derrota de virada por 2 a 1 para o Palmeiras, em 20 de junho, quando a equipe sofreu dois gols já nos acréscimos do rival que volta a enfrentar nesta quinta-feira (14) por uma vaga na Copa do Brasil, fora de casa.

O Tricolor apresenta um dos período mais tenebrosos, com acúmulo de jogadores contundidos, vinha sofrendo gols nos segundos tempos, onde havia uma clara queda de rendimento, e o treinador, de cabeça quente e abatido pelo resultado, jogou aos jornalistas que dependia da aprovação da diretoria para escalar os reservas no Choque-Rei de ida do principal mata-mata nacional.

Naquela semana, Ceni recebeu dois sinais que mudaram as coisas no São Paulo. O primeiro veio da diretoria. Belmonte e Muricy garantiram a autonomia ao treinador. E os líderes do elenco ignoraram o cansaço e se colocaram à disposição do maior camisa 1 da história do Morumbi contra a maior pedra no sapato atual do Tricolor.

Veio a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o rival alviverde na ida da Copa do Brasil e o time empatou sem gols com o lanterna Juventude no Morumbi, deixando o campo sob vaias. Foi a vez de Casares se reunir com Ceni. Em uma conversa estranha ao treinador: afinal foram expostos pontos sigilos sobre o planejamento para 2023, como contratações, dispensas, vendas e orçamento. Era a senha para Ceni dos planos são-paulinos para sua permanência.

Desde então, mesmo com o Departamento Médico cheio, Ceni ganhou respaldo para escalar quem quiser no time. E o time engatou uma sequência de boas partidas, incluindo as vitórias ante a Católica e a classificação às quartas de final da Sul-Americana.

A verdade, conforme o L! apurou com fontes do clube e pessoas ligadas ao treinador, é que a permanência de Ceni no Morumbi atende todos os lados. À gestão Casares, o nome do maior ídolo da história são-paulina preenche com perfeição uma estranha equação de um tripé que move as coisas no Mais Querido entre departamento de futebol, clube social e torcida.

Para Ceni, a demonstração pública de confiança no seu perfil como treinador e uma autonomia que não tinha desde o Fortaleza são a chave para mostrar que possui sim capacidade. Por isso a renovação foi rápida e sequer teve discutida questões salariais. Apenas a manutenção da multa, um resguardo do treinador pelo que passou em Cruzeiro, Flamengo e no próprio São Paulo na primeira passagem em 2017, quando viu a então diretoria vender as principais peças do elenco e não durou sete meses no cargo.

Essas experiências levaram Ceni a adotar um tom muito mais franco em seu contato com os jornalistas, expondo com frieza as reais condições de trabalho, como no caso das piscinas do CT da Barra Funda e a indicação de profissionais para a área médica do clube em meio à crise pelo desmonte do Refis. Eram sinais que vinham desde o começo do ano, quando Casares que não contrataria jogadores em prol da recuperação financeira e o treinador reagiu publicamente. E que tiveram a condolência dos dirigentes.

Desde seu retorno, em outubro do ano passado, foram 57 jogos, 29 vitórias, 16 empates e 12 derrotas – um aproveitamento de 60,2%. Alcançou o vice-campeonato Paulista. Mais do que números, contudo, há a certeza da gestão Casares de que somente um nome como Muricy ou Telê Santana, os maiores a passarem pelo Morumbi na história, pode colocar as coisas no eixo. E no mercado, essa opção se chama Rogério Ceni.

Surrey keeper “happy with the way things have gone” under Stokes-McCullum regime

Vithushan Ehantharajah03-Apr-2023

Of the thoughts pre-occupying Ben Foakes ahead of the 2023 season, his status as England’s No. 1 wicketkeeper is not one of them.The news Jonny Bairstow has requested the keeping gloves upon his return to action for Yorkshire in a bid to boost him claims on a Test place after breaking his leg last September was a shot across the bows for Foakes. The Surrey wicketkeeper has been the go-to gloveman under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, assuming the role for nine of the 12 matches in the new era. Now, with a one-off Test against Ireland and the summer headliner of an Ashes on the horizon, his place is under threat.Foakes drew special praise from head coach McCullum at the end of the New Zealand tour, stating the 30-year-old’s performances to date were “excellent, not just as a wicketkeeper, which is world-class”. The development of his batting was singled out, with some vital innings across the last nine months.But after Bairstow’s 2022, which featured six centuries and 1061 runs at an average of 66.31 before his year came to an abrupt halt, along with the blockbuster returns of his middle-order replacement, Harry Brook, Foakes is aware he has an all-too-familiar fight on his hands to retain his spot. McCullum has said he would not attempt to “crowbar” Bairstow in, but that would not be the case if the Yorkshireman kept – something he has done in 49 of his 89 Test caps so far.Related

Bairstow requests wicketkeeper role at Yorkshire to aid Ashes bid

And given Foakes was left out of the second Test against Pakistan back in December, after Ollie Pope deputised as keeper when Foakes was ruled out of the first through illness, it is evidently a decision England are willing to make.It was only really on the tour of the West Indies last year, off the back of England’s 4-0 defeat in the 2021-22 Ashes, that Foakes was given a clear run as Test keeper. His debut in Sri Lanka in 2018 came about after Bairstow damaged ankle ligaments playing football in the warm-ups during the ODI series that preceded the three-match Test series. Foakes marked the occasion with a hundred in his first innings, but soon fell back down the pecking order, behind Bairstow and Jos Buttler. To many, Foakes’ status as England’s first-choice gloveman has been long overdue.”I’m happy with the way things have gone for me,” Foakes said at Surrey’s media day on Monday. “So it is a bit unique to be asked about that [his place]. But I can’t remember a time when I haven’t been asked that stuff to be honest with you, since I started playing.”It is just something I obviously put up with but it is only really times like this where you hear it. Within the camp there is no chat about any selections, whoever it might be at any stage, so it is more just stuff like this.”Blocking out the noise is helped by an average of 38.90 under Stokes. There have been four standout scores above 50, including a second Test century (and first at home) scored during a vital stand with his captain in the series-squaring victory in the second Test against South Africa at Old Trafford. Time away from the field in the four series he has played during that time has also helped him reinforce his ability to cut out negative distractions.”Obviously playing county cricket you don’t get any [media scrutiny] and then all of a sudden it ramps up quite significantly, and that can be a difficult thing. But I’ve found by doing things like staying off social media, not checking Cricinfo during series and things like that just allows me to play the game of cricket again and just be more focused on whatever my job is that day.”I think it’s just a distraction you don’t need, it can just muddle your thinking, if you think ‘this might happen, so I’ve got to do this or I’ve got to do extra’. It takes you away from what you do well and just makes your job more difficult. I think experience over the years for me has showed me that. So nowadays, I just ignore it all.”Nevertheless, Foakes admitted his last outing with England, his 20th cap, still sticks in a craw. He came within eight runs of seeing his side to victory in the second Test against New Zealand at Wellington back in February. Having arrived at the crease with England 201 for 6 chasing a target of 258 on day five, he watched Joe Root fall for 95 one run later before assuming the lead role to marshal the tail through what remained.Foakes walks off after being dismissed on the final day at Basin Reserve•Getty Images

On 35, a pull off Tim Southee in search of his fifth boundary ended up nestling into the hands of Neil Wagner at fine leg, which made it 251 for 9. Wagner went on to dismiss No. 11 James Anderson to give the Blackcaps a famous one-run victory to square the series.While both sides revelled in the part they played got such a thrilling climax, Foakes was visibly distraught at the conclusion. Though he has shaken off that disappointment, it reiterated a sense he needs to expand his repertoire with the bat.”That night, I was gutted,” Foakes said. “I think that’s the area of the game I need to work on. I play a different role at Surrey so that’s the area I’ve been working on the most. I was really happy with the way I stuck to my processes and did what I wanted to do, but obviously gutted to fall just short and get out with seven to go and not quite get over the line.”I think one thing I’ve taken from playing for England is for me, it’s more about how many times can I impact the game. Batting at seven and the style we play you might not often get too long to bat in certain situations. So it’s about how can I impact, how many games can I contribute to in a positive way.”The crux of Foakes’ conflict is his position in the England line-up. Having developed as a top-six batter on the domestic circuit for Essex and Surrey, he is still learning on the job at No. 7 for the national team. The need to switch between batting normally with the top order or aggressively with the lower order is part of the job description. The former comes naturally, but the latter still needs work in Foakes’ opinion.”The challenge I find and the difference is when I go in and someone gets out early and you’re batting with the tail trying to ramp it up and play a slightly different style from say your 10th ball. I think that is the challenge and something you have to train for. Whereas my training over the last few years trying to get into the England team is trying to bat in nets, develop a technique that’s solid and all the old-school stuff. Whereas I think there are different elements to batting at seven you require so they’re the things I’ve tried to work on.”It is worth stating at no point have England voiced any public or private displeasure at how Foakes has operated so far. Those within the camp have been impressed with how he has approached an unfamiliar role, the ownership taken over his game and the manner in which he has carried himself on the field, emerging as a key sounding board for Stokes, whether suggesting shifts in the field or taking it upon himself to stand up to the stumps against the seamers.All told, he has done everything expected of him – and done it well. Regardless of the situation with Bairstow, such self-prescribed improvement will only be of benefit to England and, more importantly, Foakes himself.

At one stage, Everton’s final-ever season at Goodison Park looked it could end in relegation down to the Championship.

Now, with the trusty figure of David Moyes back at the helm, the new era on the horizon at Bramley-Moore Dock doesn’t look as bleak.

Instead, it looks rather promising, with the Scotsman capable of steering Everton to a top-half finish in the Premier League if positive results don’t suddenly dry up.

Still, there will be some tough decisions for Moyes to wrestle with this approaching summer, including who to keep around for the stadium relocation, as first-team personnel such as Jack Harrison could soon leave the building.

Harrison's future at Everton

The 28-year-old attacker is only present at Goodison at the moment as a loan option, with Harrison simply returning to Leeds United at the end of the season if Moyes and Co don’t want to strike up a permanent switch.

That eventually would seem unlikely, considering there were calls in January for his loan spell to be cut short midway through the campaign. That ultimately didn’t happen, however, with reports at the beginning of March suggesting Leeds are gearing up for his return to Elland Road.

As a consequence, it’s said that the Championship side have held exploratory talks about the winger heading back to MLS where he previously played for New York City.

Helping himself to just one goal this campaign in all competitions, the Toffees number 11 isn’t exactly banging down the door to stay put, with other loan faces in attack such as Jesper Lindstrom also underwhelming with only two assists next to his name from 30 outings.

Harrison could cost around £13m to win permanently – as per Transfermarkt – with Everton perhaps slightly hesitant to fork out that much money for such a hit-and-miss performer.

Amazingly, as much as the Leeds loanee has struggled in large patches this season to get going, there is a former Everton flop worth less than the hot-and-cold attacker right now.

It’s safe to say he struggled in a very similar way to Harrison at Goodison Park.

What happened to Everton's new Lukaku

Whilst Harrison has been prone to an off-day or two donning Everton blue, it’s unlikely he will be categorised entirely as a flop, with the 28-year-old winger at least offering up five goals and three assists across 64 total games.

Another winger, the lesser-spotted Henry Onyekuru, on the other hand, undoubtedly goes down as a big waste of time.

Indeed, the one-time £7m buy never went on to make a single appearance at Goodison, despite being on the club’s books for two whole years and once being heralded as the second coming of Romelu Lukaku for his exploits in Belgium.

It was a particularly troubling transfer window on Everton’s end away from Onyekuru’s cursed arrival, with the summer of 2017 seeing the Farhad Moshiri-backed Toffees splash out excessive wads of cash to land the likes of Davy Klaassen for £24m, who also exited English soil in a swift manner.

At least the Dutchman actually featured for the Merseyside outfit, however, with the Nigerian experiencing constant setbacks involving work permit issues which would result in a number of loan moves away from England occurring, rather than making a name for himself at his parent side.

Still, there would end up being a happy ending for the forgotten-about forward, with the Lagos-born attacker leaving Everton behind for a hefty £12m in August of 2019 to AS Monaco, a move that would have suited all parties swimmingly.

Everton would end up making a pretty £5m profit to at least salvage something from the whole ordeal, with the deal looking like even more of a masterstroke when you take into account his measly £3m valuation in 2025.

That’s way less than Harrison’s £13m valuation, with time still on Everton’s side to deliberate about keeping the Whites loanee around, whilst Onyekuru – who is goalless while plying his trade at Al-Fayha in Saudi Arabia – has likely put his ill-fated Merseyside stay right to the back of his mind.

حُسمت هوية أول الفرق المغادرة لبطولة كأس العالم للأندية، نسخة 2025، المُقامة حاليًا في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية بنظامها الجديد، لأول مرة.

وانطلقت منافسات كأس العالم للأندية، بمشاركة 32 فريقًا، فجر يوم الأحد الماضي حيث تعادل الأهلي مع إنتر ميامي آنذاك في المباراة الافتتاحية، سلبيًا بدون أهداف.

وأصبح فريق أوكلاند سيتي أول الفرق التي ودعت منافسات كأس العالم للأندية، قبل جولة من نهاية دور المجموعات، حسبما أعلن فيفا عبر موقعه الرسمي منذ قليل.

جاء خروج أوكلاند سيتي بعدما تعرض لهزيمة ثقيلة على يد بنفيكا البرتغالي، مساء اليوم، في الجولة الثانية من دور المجموعات، بستة أهداف دون رد.

وتُعد تلك الهزيمة هي الثانية لـ أوكلاند سيتي في النسخة الحالية من البطولة، بعدما خسر بنتيجة مذلة أمام بايرن ميونخ في الجولة الأولى، بعشرة أهداف دون رد.

وظل رصيد أوكلاند سيتي خاليًا من النقاط في المركز الرابع والأخير في المجموعة الثالثة، التي يتصدرها بنفيكا مؤقتًا بأربعة نقاط، لحين خوض مباراة بايرن ميونخ وبوكا جونيورز.

كشف الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا”، عن طاقم تحكيم مباراة فلومينينسي البرازيلي والهلال السعودي، في كأس العالم للأندية 2025.

كان الهلال حسم التأهل إلى الدور ربع النهائي بكأس العالم للأندية على حساب مانشستر سيتي بنتيجة 4-3.

ويعاون ماكيلي، الحكمان المساعدان هيسيل ستيجسترا وجان دي فريس، بينما سيكون سعيد مارتينيز حكمًا رابعًا، ووالتر لوبيز حكمًا خامسًا.

وكان ماكيلي أدار مباراة الهلال وباتشوكا في دور المجموعات، وانتهت بفوز الفريق السعودي بهدفين نظيفين، وهو ما يعتبر بمثابة بشرى سارة للفريق العربي الملقلب بالزعيم.

Rashid Khan has been ruled out of the first two ODIs against Sri Lanka with a lower-back injury. The Afghanistan Cricket Board stated that “he will remain under full medical observation, and is expected to return for the final ODI on June 7”.The three-match series begins on June 2, with the second game to be played two days later at the same ground.

He was the tournament’s joint second-highest wicket-taker with 27 strikes.In Rashid’s absence, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Noor Ahmad will have to shoulder extra responsibility in the spin department.Noor also had a successful IPL stint for Titans, grabbing 16 wickets from 13 games at an economy of 7.82. However, he has played only one ODI and one T20I for Afghanistan.Last month, Afghanistan announced a strong 15-member squad, led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, for the Sri Lanka ODIs.Having sealed direct qualification for the upcoming ODI World Cup, Afghanistan will be looking at this series to get their preparations going for the marquee event. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, will treat it as a build-up for the Qualifier tournament in Zimbabwe, starting on June 18.

O Palmeiras iniciará uma dura sequência nesta quarta-feira, ao enfrentar o Atlético-MG, pela volta das quartas de final da Libertadores. Além desse duelo decisivo, o Verdão terá embates contra Corinthians, Flamengo e Fluminense, que podem definir o título do Brasileirão. Serão quatros jogos que podem valer o ano.

Diante do Galo, uma vitória simples basta para conquistar a vaga para a semifinal da Liberta e seguir sonhando com o tri consecutivo da competição. A partida no Allianz Parque, no entanto, pode significar também mais uma eliminação em mata-mata neste ano. Um novo empate levará a decisão para os pênaltis. Já uma vitória atleticana fará com que o Alviverde fique pelo caminho no torneio.

Sendo assim, caso a classificação se confirme, o Palmeiras terá mais três jogos para a taça da Libertadores: dois na semifinal e um na final. A definição virá rapidamente, diferentemente do Brasileirão, que ainda terá 17 rodadas pela frente até que o campeonato termine.

No entanto, o Verdão, líder com seis pontos de vantagem para o segundo colocado, pode encaminhar bem um possível título ainda neste mês de agosto. Serão três jogos decisivos contra seus principais adversário pela liderança neste momento da competição: Corinthians, o vice-líder, Flamengo, o 5º lugar, e Fluminense, 3º lugar.

A dupla carioca talvez seja a que tenha mostrado o melhor futebol neste período e são potenciais postulantes a subir na tabela, principalmente em confrontos diretos com o Verdão nas próximas semanas. O Timão não tem vindo bem, mas é o principal rival alviverde e o time que está mais próximo na classificação do Brasileiro no momento.

Diante do Corinthians, caso vença, o Palmeiras pode abrir nove pontos de diferença, chegando a 48 contra 39 do rival, uma vantagem considerável que permitiria uma administração maior da liderança. Caso o Timão saia vitorioso na Neo Química Arena, a diferença pode cair para três pontos e com ainda muito campeonato pela frente.

Já o duelo seguinte será com o Flamengo, que atualmente está nove pontos atrás do Verdão. Se essa vantagem se mantiver até a partida entre os clubes e o Alviverde vencer no Allianz Parque, essa diferença poderá subir para 12 pontos, deixando Abel Ferreira tranquilo. No entanto, em caso de triunfo do Fla e vitória corintiana no Dérbi, a vantagem pode cair para três pontos, o que embolaria mais a tabela.

Mas a saga palmeirense nas próximas semanas de agosto não vai parar por aí. Depois de pegar o Rubro-Negro, o adversário será o Fluminense, que é uma das principais surpresas do campeonato. Atualmente, a diferença entre Flu e Palmeiras é de sete pontos. Se ela se mantiver até o encontro entre eles, poderá aumentar para dez em caso de vitória alviverde. Evidentemente ela pode variar diante dos resultados de ambos nas duas rodadas anteriores.

Ainda que os resultados possam ser diversos no intervalo dessas três rodadas, é bem nítido que esses confrontos podem trazer uma mudança fundamental na classificação do Brasileirão, tanto para o encaminhamento do título palmeirense, quanto para uma queda significativa da boa vantagem do time de Abel Ferreira faltando ainda 14 rodadas para o término do campeonato nacional.

Liverpool are closing in on the Premier League title and expectation is growing that statement signings could be on the way at Anfield this summer, but there is also hesitance over potential departures.

Liverpool's need for statement incomings under Arne Slot

Earlier this week, news that Trent Alexander-Arnold is leaving Liverpool to join Real Madrid came as a bitter blow ahead of next season, albeit there is a feeing this has been on the cards for a while due to his contract impasse.

Arne Slot has shown he doesn’t need reinforcements to turn Liverpool into a winning machine, but you can bet your bottom dollar that he will be active in the market this summer to maintain his side’s place at the Premier League summit for time to come.

Andy Robertson isn’t getting any younger and may need competition for his place over the next couple of years. In light of this, Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez and Juventus star Andrea Cambiaso are on the Reds’ radar as options to strengthen in the left-back department.

Potentially costing £40 million or £50 million apiece, both would be affordable in the modern-day climate, though it remains to be seen if either of their current employers would be willing to budge in the summer.

Defensive reinforcements are indeed on the agenda and may be heightened by Ibrahima Konate’s contract situation at Liverpool, which has drawin interest from the likes of Real Madrid in a £50 million transfer.

Now, Slot could be plunged into a corridor of uncertainty if speculation is to be believed regarding another member of his resolute backline after Alexander-Arnold.

Barcelona prepare two-year contract offer to Virgil Van Dijk

According to reports in Spain, Virgil Van Dijk is being lined up by Barcelona this summer and the Catalan giants are ready to put forward a lucrative two-year contract for the Netherlands international.

Citing his experience and leadership, the La Liga leaders have spotted a major opportunity to land someone with elite pedigree for no cost, even if his £220,000 per week wages throw a spanner in the works given their financial issues.

Labelled “crucial” by Slot, Van Dijk could be a timely arrival for Barcelona should Andreas Christensen or Eric Garcia move on during the off-season. However, news that he is now in the eyes of a European rival will worry Liverpool supporters.

Mohamed Salah is also at risk of leaving for nothing once his contract expires. Should the trio all depart for nothing, FSG would likely cop a severe amount of criticism.

Financially, failing to recoup sizeable fees could impact the Reds’ scope to recruit adequate replacements on the market. Put simply, it is now or never for Liverpool to avoid another Alexander-Arnold scenario.
