Com o desejo de seguir no Galo, Rafael Moura evita falar em saída

MatériaMais Notícias

Rafael Moura segue sem definição sobre seu futuro. O vínculo do atacante com o Galo vence neste mês e, mesmo revelando seu desejo de permanecer no time, são grandes as chances de não haver renovação de contrato. Apesar disto, o jogador mantém a esperança de continuar seu trabalho em Belo Horizonte e disse que conversará com o clube antes de se posicionar diante da imprensa.

– Férias, jogo festivo. Depois a gente vai pensar no futuro. Mercado ainda está bem frio. (Vou) Conversar com o Atlético, tomar a decisão que precisa ser tomada. Para, depois, conversar com vocês (jornalistas) para falar do meu destino, da minha permanência ou não – declarou em entrevista antes da partida amistosa entre ‘Amigos do Ronaldinho e ‘Amigos do Penta”, em comemoração dos 120 da capital mineira.

Sem procura da diretoria atleticana, os representantes de ‘He-Man’ receberam contato do Botafogo, que busca um novo atleta para suprir a saída de Roger, contratado pelo Internacional. Entretanto, ao ser perguntado sobre o tema, o centroavante preferiu evitá-lo e afirmou que está priorizando o descanso durante as férias.

– Saí de férias agora. Viajo no domingo. Descansar. Cabeça focada na família. Depois, a gente senta. Mas meu estafe, meu empresário está trabalhando para ver o que é melhor para mim e para minha família – contou.

Rafael Moura também não deixou de lado a possibilidade de atuar fora do país, mas, como anteriormente, garantiu que sua pretensão é continuar em Belo Horizonte, vestindo a camisa do Atlético-MG.

– Sempre teve algumas sondagens (de fora do país). Nessa época, então, tem muita especulação por parte da imprensa. Vocês querem antecipar algumas coisas. Nem mesmo nós temos a certeza. A gente só tem a certeza quando está fechado e vocês noticiam mesmo. O resto nem a gente mesmo sabe. Empresário sabe que a gente está de férias, quer descansar, não quer ficar pensando demais nisso e sofrendo demais por causa disso. A prioridade é minha permanência aqui, por isso que voltei para Belo Horizonte. A prioridade é essa. Se não, depois a gente vai ver o que for melhor. Sendo aqui no Brasil, sendo fora, temos um tempinho ainda, esse restinho de dezembro, para poder fazer um grande contrato ou até mesmo permanecer – finalizou.

Newcastle eyeing Liverpool’s Nat Phillips

An update has emerged on Newcastle United’s pursuit of Liverpool defender Nathaniel Phillips…

What’s the talk?

According to i News, the Magpies are considering a deal for the Anfield destroyer as they plot a number of defensive additions to improve their squad.

The report claims that he is high on their list of centre-back targets and the Reds are demanding £15m for his services.

Howey 2.0

Eddie Howe could find his own Steve Howey for Newcastle in a deal to sign Phillips from the Premier League giants this month.

Howey was a homegrown defender who played 160 times for the Magpies during his time at the club and 193 games in the Premier League overall in his career. Phillips could follow a similar career path, albeit without starting at Newcastle, as he is an English centre-back who has the quality to play regularly at the top level for a number of years.

The Liverpool man may even end up coming up short on the international front, just like Howey during his playing days. Despite playing week in, week out for the Toon, the 50-year-old ended his career with just four caps for England’s senior side.

 

Phillips has played 24 times for Liverpool’s first team but has not been called up to represent England at any age level. This suggests that, like Howey, he may be a player who is overlooked by his country despite his performances at club level.

Last season, the 24-year-old averaged a superb WhoScored rating of 7.29 in the Premier League, his match average of 5.6 successful aerial duels the joint-fifth highest in the entire division. This led to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp showering the centre-back with praise for his performances.

The German told Goal.com: “Nat Phillips is just an exceptional career so far, with all the things he did in the past and what he thought about and where he was and all these things. Now playing for Liverpool in the Champions League, Premier League, winning games, winning challenges.

“[He will have] probably the best heading statistics in the history of the Premier League I could imagine at least, it is unbelievable what the boy is doing there, and on top of that playing good football.”

This suggests that Phillips is capable of putting in top-class displays at the highest level, and that is why he could be Howe’s own Steve Howey, as the 24-year-old English destroyer could come in and be Newcastle’s go-to centre-back for the next decade if he remains consistent.

Razak receives official reprimand

Singapore’s Mohamed Shoib Abdul Razak has received an official reprimand for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct

Cricinfo staff25-Feb-2010Singapore’s Mohamed Shoib Abdul Razak has received an official reprimand for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during his country’s match against United States of America in the World Cricket League Division 5 on Wednesday.The charge was brought by the two on-field umpires, Tyron Wijewardene and Buddhi Pradham, at the conclusion of the match, which Singapore won by 99 runs. Razak was found to have breached Section 12 Article 2.1.3 of the ICC Code, which relates to ‘showing dissent at an umpire’s decision’.He pleaded guilty to the charge and accepted the penalty imposed by Match Referee David Jukes without the need to convene a disciplinary hearing. “Heat of the moment or not, there is no place for this sort of behaviour in international cricket. Mr Razak has apologised for his actions and I hope that we will not see a recurrence,” said Jukes.

Euriquinho diz que vai conversar com Nenê para definir o futuro do meia

MatériaMais Notícias

Um dos principais nomes do elenco do Vasco, Nenê viveu um ano intenso no clube: começou bem, foi parar no banco, depois pediu para sair, ficou afastado e terminou como titular com Zé Ricardo, sendo importante para conquista da vaga na Libertadores. Por tudo isso, a diretoria cruz-maltina pretende ter conversas com o meia e o seu representante para definir o seu futuro no clube. Eurico Brandão, vice-presidente de futebol, disse que quer saber os objetivos do jogador e tomar uma decisão nas próximas duas semanas.

– A questão do Nenê… A gente ainda precisa conversar muito com ele, com o empresário dele. Entender realmente o que se passa na cabeça dele, o que ele pretende, quais são os objetivos para o ano que vem. Esse ano realmente foi muito conturbado para ele, a relação dele com a diretoria, com o clube e com os treinadores. Vamos desenvolver nas próximas duas semanas para traçar uma decisão final – disse Euriquinho ao site do ‘Globo Esporte’

Em 2017, Nenê não se deu bem com o técnico Milton Mendes, que o colocou no banco de reservas no início do Brasileirão. Além disso, outras atitudes do meia desagradaram a diretoria. Segundo Euriquinho, o jogador pediu para deixar o clube nas últimas três janelas. Por isso, o clube espera que ele garanta comprometimento para a próxima temporada, já que é uma referência e tem alto custo para o Cruz-Maltino.

– Ele é um jogador que é referência para o torcedor, mas precisamos entender realmente o que se passa, se ele realmente quer encarar esse desafio, ou se tem interesse em sair. Nas últimas três janelas ele se mostrou interessado em sair do clube, então com ele a gente sempre vive essa expectativa de querer entender realmente. Ele tem um custo alto para o clube e precisa estar realmente correspondendo a esse custo – comentou o dirigente.

Nenê diz que se reapresenta ao Vasco em 2018

Enquanto a diretoria do Vasco não garante a continuidade de Nenê e quer conversar com o jogador, ele diz que pretende ficar no clube. Passando férias em Paris, o jogador foi assistir ao jogo do PSG contra o Lille, neste sábado, pelo Campeonato Francês. Antes do jogo, o jogador disse ao ‘SporTV” que se reapresenta ao Cruz-Maltino em 2018.

Apesar dos altos e baixos na temporada, Nenê foi o principal jogador do Cruz-Maltino na temporada. Ele foi o artilheiro do time na temporada, com 12 gols marcados, e também o líder em assistências, com 10.

Além disso, ele foi importante na arrancada para o time conseguir a vaga na próxima Libertadores. Ele decidiu o clássico contra o Botafogo e também fez de falta o gol que deu o triunfo contra o Santos, na Vila Belmiro.

Lo Celso has been worse than Ndombele

A lot of the talk around north London this week has been surrounding Tanguy Ndombele’s future at Tottenham Hotspur and just days away from the derby, there is all sorts coming out behind the scenes.

Indeed, the Frenchman has been subject to controversy once again, with reports suggesting that the club are trying to move him on before Deadline Day on January 31st.

He was booed off during their FA Cup third-round victory over Morecambe on Sunday afternoon. He went straight down the tunnel after being substituted in the second half and the more raucous the crowd’s reaction was, the slower he trudged off.

A shocking sign from your club-record signing when the team was 1-0 down at the time. It’s hard to imagine any way back for him now. But we’ve been here before under both Jose Mourinho and Nuno Santo.

In fact, some reports suggest that he isn’t even unhappy at the club and it will be hard enough to find an exit strategy for him when he’s rolling in £200k-per-week.

It wouldn’t be the end of the world if he did stay as he’s certainly been better than his fellow club-record arrival, Giovani Lo Celso, who in his absence delivered another shocking display during their Carabao Cup semi-final exit earlier in the week.

The Argentine playmaker, who also cost Spurs around £55m from Real Betis in August 2019, has shown an inability to beat the first man with his set-pieces – leading to a parody account being made on social media about his mistakes – whilst he has very rarely contributed in front of goal.

As per Transfermarkt, the 25-year-old midfielder has provided only eight goals and six assists across 83 appearances, nearly lower than the total number of yellow cards he’s received (13). That is a direct goal contribution of once every six matches (or once every 327 minutes).

Ndombele by comparison is clear as an attacking option. He has managed a goal or assist once every 4.7 games (or once every 271 minutes), also via Transfermarkt.

As you can see by those figures alone, the disgraced Frenchman is way, way clear of his fellow expensive flop.

Lo Celso does earn less on around £70k-per-week but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he has been absolutely stealing a living from the club, more so than Ndombele.

Now valued at just €30m (£25m) by CIES Football Observatory, perhaps it is the Argentina international who needs to be axed this month. After two-and-a-half years at the club, he is yet to show much promise at all and his stats being worse than Ndombele’s is certainly alarming.

Once dubbed “phenomenal” by Mourinho, Lo Celso’s time at Spurs must be waring thin after another disappointing outing.

Knee problem still hurts Hilfenhaus

Ben Hilfenhaus hopes to be able to walk through his bowling action in the next couple of weeks

Ben Hilfenhaus has not played for Australia since the first Test in Brisbane in November•Getty Images

Ben Hilfenhaus hopes to be able to walk through his bowling action in the next couple of weeks as he plans a comeback in June following a long-term knee injury. Hilfenhaus hasn’t played for Australia since November and last delivered some overs in a club game in December due to a severe tendonitis problem.Last year Hilfenhaus developed into a highly effective Test bowler in nine matches, particularly in England where he topped the Ashes wicket list. He is crossing his fingers that he can be part of the series against Pakistan there in July.”It has been very frustrating,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald. ”When you look at it, I have missed a fair bit of cricket. There is no good time to get injured. It is disappointing, but at the end of the day if it means that my career goes longer then it will be worth it down the track.”He was forced into a lengthy period of rehabilitation after being Man of the Match in the opening game of the summer against West Indies. Initially he was expected to miss only the second Test, but he has been unable to bowl properly since.”Not a lot of people know about tendonitis,” he said. “It is one of those things that develop over time. My worry is deceleration, the impact of stopping after running in to bowl. The tendons don’t like change so I will have to take it slow. Hopefully I can walk through my action in a couple of weeks.”Australia A play a four-day match against Sri Lanka A in June and Hilfenhaus would like to be part of that to prove he is ready to return to the Test squad. While he and Peter Siddle, who has a back stress fracture, were away Australia were boosted by the performances of Mitchell Johnson, Doug Bollinger and Ryan Harris.”Everyone gets an opportunity when people get injured,” he said. “I have just got to hopefully get back to bowling well. It might be a tough road ahead but it is a good challenge for me. The biggest thing for me is that once I do start bowling again, I prove that I can still bowl well.”

Bases são acertadas e Vasco espera o 'sim' de Leandro Desábato até o fim desta quarta-feira

MatériaMais Notícias

O Vasco acertou no fim da noite da última terça-feira todas as bases salariais para fechar por duas temporadas com o volante Leandro Desábato. A cúpula de São Januário espera pelo “sim” do jogador até o fim desta quarta-feira. Confirmando a contratação, Desábato será o primeiro reforço cruz-maltino nesta janela de transferências de olho na Conmebol Libertadores de 2018.

O LANCE! conversou no fim da manhã desta quarta-feira com o próprio Leandro Desábato. A expectativa pelo acerto segue alta, mas há pequenos pontos a serem resolvidos ao longo do dia, como termos de valores por rescisão contratual. Na noite desta quarta, o volante se reunirá com Martin Sendoa, seu empresário, para enfim selar o futuro. Segundo Desábato, a decisão não passa desta quarta.

Ainda durante a conversa com o LANCE!, Leandro Desábato afirmou que “caso corra tudo bem, já quero viajar amanhã (nesta quinta-feira ao Rio de Janeiro) para fechar o contrato (com o Vasco)”. Antes da assinatura, vale destacar que o volante passará por exames médicos de rotina, normais em quaisquer negociações de clubes de futebol antes de anunciar o reforço no desfecho das conversas.

Leandro Desábato tem contrato com o Vélez Sarsfield (ARG) terminando este mês e recebeu no fim de semana passado a proposta do Vasco. O clube do técnico Zé Ricardo não demorou para chegar aos termos pedidos na negociação. O LANCE! procurou o empresário Martin Sendoa, mas ele disse que se pronunciaria oficialmente também apenas no fim desta quarta. Em conversa também com o L! no fim de semana, o volante argentino havia dito sobre a vontade de jogar no Brasil a partir da próxima temporada.

– Sim (gostaria de jogador no Brasil), é um futebol muito competitivo. São disputados muitos campeonatos, há grandes equipes e jogadores de trajetória que ganharam prestígio em seus clubes – disse na ocasião para a reportagem.

Com 27 anos, Leandro Desábato é visto como bom nome para a disputa da Libertadores por sua experiência na competição e o bom poder de marcação. A chegada seria importante, já que este setor do grupo está carente, com poucas opções no setor. Cria das divisões de base do Vélez Sarsfield, passou a fazer parte do elenco profissional em 2010, atuou em 136 partidas e anotou três gols.Atualmente, o elenco do Vasco só conta com Bruno Paulista, Andrey e Bruno Cosendey de volantes. O clube encaminhou a renovação com Marcelo Mattos, que não atua há mais de uma ano, por conta de ainda estar em recuperação de lesão, e tenta estender os vínculos de Wellington e Jean.

Aston Villa: Fans react to Robin Olsen update

Aston Villa are close to signing goalkeeper Robin Olsen on loan until the end of the season.

That’s according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, which, as to be expected, has had plenty of Villa fans talking.

Johan Lange has made no secret of his hunt for a new back-up goalkeeper this month, as the club have been linked with West Ham’s Darren Randolph and PSG’s Sergio Rico as well as Olsen.

He has finally made a breakthrough, and it appears Olsen will now be the man to come in alongside Emiliano Martinez and Jed Steer, with a medical booked for Tuesday.

Olsen, who has won seven trophies during his career, is currently on loan at Sheffield United where he has made 11 Championship appearances. The Blades have agreed to cut that short, though, with Villa now agreeing on a temporary deal with parent club AS Roma.
