Capitão da Nigéria rasga elogios a Messi, mas quer 'se vingar' do craque

MatériaMais Notícias

A estreia da Nigéria na Copa do Mundo será contra a Croácia, no sábado, às 16h (de Brasília), em Kaliningrado, mas o capitão Obi Mikel já está pensando na Argentina de Lionel Messi, que cruzará o caminho dos africanos na terceira rodada do Grupo D. Ele tem um motivo: ainda está remoendo uma derrota de 2005.

– Perdemos para eles na final do Mundial Sub-20 de 2005, na Holanda. Acho que chegou a hora da minha vingança, já que nossa seleção tem muita qualidade e determinação – disse o meia de 31 anos, que joga noTianjin Teda, da China.

A Nigéria de Mikel perdeu a final por 2 a 1 com dois gols de pênalti marcados por Lionel Messi. Mikel admite que se trata de um jogador diferente, praticamente um extraterrestre:

– Creio que todas as equipes iniciam o Mundial com possibilidade de título, mas a Argentina tem um jogador que não é deste planeta. Gosto de dar crédito a quem merece – disse o nigeriano, que também elogiou a rival da estreia:

– Será uma partida difícil, a Croácia tem jogadores fantásticos. Vamos buscar ter o controle do jogo.

Já na cidade do jogo

A seleção nigeriana encarou três horas de voo para chegar até Kaliningrado, cidade que receberá a partida contra a Croácia. Os africanos estão concentrados em Yessentuki, onde fizeram um treino recreativo antes da viagem.

Cooley wants Johnson 'up and firing'

Australia’s acting head coach, Troy Cooley, hopes the conditions in South Africa will help Mitchell Johnson regain his best form after a disappointing year

Brydon Coverdale27-Sep-2011

“From what I saw on TV he looked like he was bowling consistently. He probably needs to make sure things are working out of his wrist as best as they can,” Troy Cooley says of Mitchell Johnson•AFP

Australia’s acting head coach, Troy Cooley, hopes the conditions in South Africa will help Mitchell Johnson regain his best form after a disappointing year. Cooley will be in charge for Australia’s upcoming trip to South Africa after being named as the temporary replacement for Tim Nielsen, who stepped down after the Test series win in Sri Lanka.During that trip, Johnson continued to struggle, collecting just two wickets in each of the three Test matches, on his first Test tour working with the new bowling coach Craig McDermott. It capped off a below-par 12 months for Johnson, who since the start of the short tour of India in October last year has taken 29 Test wickets at 38.89.Cooley watched the Sri Lankan series from Australia and said that Johnson looked consistent but he needed to keep working on his wrist position. The upcoming series will be crucial for Johnson, who faces competition from Ryan Harris, Trent Copeland and Peter Siddle for a place in the side, not only in South Africa but for the home Tests against New Zealand and India.In Johnson’s favour is his strong record in South Africa, where in 2009 he picked up 16 wickets at 25, and he was especially venomous in the Johannesburg Test. Australia’s two Tests in November will be played at Newlands in Cape Town and the Wanderers in Johannesburg, where Johnson was Man of the Match last time he played there.”I think the conditions definitely suit the quick bowlers over there and the places we’re going to play will definitely give them an advantage,” Cooley said. “It will be up to all of us now to pull together and make sure that not only Mitch but the rest of the team are up and firing and building on what we’ve started in Sri Lanka.”Mitch has been working closely with Craig McDermott now for a little while. We have a relationship with Mitch over the years and we’ve seen some ups and downs along the way but fully aware Mitchell is still responsible to go out there and perform.”From what I saw on TV he looked like he was bowling consistently. He probably needs to make sure things are working out of his wrist as best as they can. I’m sure Craig McDermott has been working on that and I’ll pick up with Craig on that as soon as I hit the deck on Monday.”Cooley has spent most of the past five years working closely with Australia’s attack as the team’s bowling coach, but he stepped away earlier this year to become head coach at the Centre of Excellence in Brisbane. His appointment as Australia’s interim coach came after he told Cricket Australia he wouldn’t be applying for the full-time role.Instead, he is happy working with the developing players at the Centre of Excellence and taking on roles such as coaching Australia A, which he did on the tour of Zimbabwe in July. On that trip, the offspinner Nathan Lyon did enough to impress the selectors and earn himself a Test debut in Sri Lanka, and Cooley said Lyon was good enough to succeed in South Africa as well.”Nathan is relatively new in the team but he acquitted himself very well in Zimbabwe and obviously started his career with the Australian team quite nicely,” Cooley said. “It’s a tough area to bowl finger spin over there [in South Africa], it’s a little bit like the Australian conditions, but he’s got some great control and has grown with every game so I see him acquitting himself quite nicely if selected.”Cooley will rejoin the Australians at a time of great change, but also of great promise, after their 1-0 series win over Sri Lanka. Tackling South Africa in their own conditions will be a different challenge, but despite being ranked second on the ICC Test table, South Africa have not won a Test series at home since beating Bangladesh in 2008.”South Africa are always a formidable line-up,” Cooley said. “They’ve got a great bowling line-up and their batsmen, even though they’re a little bit older, they’re still producing the runs. They sit well above us on the Test table and we’ll be working very hard to chase them down.”

Apresentado, Alexandre Faria destaca austeridade por reforços no Vasco

MatériaMais Notícias

Na manhã desta segunda-feira, o Vasco apresentou o seu novo diretor executivo de futebol. Trata-se de Alexandre Faria, que chega ao clube para substituir Paulo Pelaipe, demitido no início do mês. Presidente cruz-maltino, Alexandre Campello esteve ao lado do novo dirigente na sala de imprensa durante a primeira entrevista coletiva. O principal tema abordado por Faria foi a austeridade financeira na busca de reforços para a equipe comandada pelo técnico Jorginho.

– Sobre metas, na conversa que tive com o presidente Campello, conversamos sobre a engrenagem do Vasco que funciona bem. São três coisas. Primeira é a organização do departamento, condições de trabalho no CT. Vamos trabalhar para que tenham a melhor estrutura. O Vasco tem uma estrutura maravilhosa em São Januário, Com os acordos para os CTs do profissional e da base, vamos colocar nosso dedo lá para oferecer melhores condições – afirmou o novo diretor executivo de futebol antes de completar:

– A segunda coisa é a austeridade financeira. Uma austeridade financeira absoluta. Qualquer jogador quer atuar no Vasco. Isso é um valor agregado muito grande e que iremos usar. Vamos trabalhar para trazer os melhores atletas sem extrapolar o orçamento apresentado para o departamento de futebol. E o terceiro ponto é o fortalecimento da categoria de base, que é o que mais me encanta. Philippe Coutinho é o melhor do Brasil na Copa do Mundo na minha opinião, por exemplo, e é daqui do Vasco.

Alexandre Faria e Alexandre Campello não quiseram entrar no mérito de nomes que o Vasco está de olho para contratar. Enfatizaram neste sentido ao dizer que estão mapeando o mercado da bola neste período sem jogos por conta da Copa do Mundo da Rússia, conversando internamente para que os valores nas negociações não se inflacionem. Apenas dois jogadores foram citados: o lateral-direito Lenon, que o Guarani confirmou ter emprestado para o Vasco até o fim deste ano, e o zagueiro Digão, do Cruzeiro, com quem há negociação.

– Em relação ao Lenon, ele foi mapeado pelo clube. Gosto muito do atleta, tinha tentado contratar antes. O Vasco só anuncia depois de tudo assinado. O jurídico está resolvendo a questão burocrática de um documento, por isso não confirmamos ainda. Falando sobre a defesa, temos que tentar qualificar. O PC Gusmão (coordenador de futebol do Vasco) ficou empolgado com dois atletas do sub-20. Primeiro temos que olhar para dentro de casa. Se entendermos que vai qualificar e está no orçamento, vamos avaliar – despistou.

O último trabalho de Alexandre Faria foi no Sport, onde ficou até fevereiro deste ano. Na equipe de Pernambuco, o dirigente se envolveu em polêmicas. A principal foi ficar ao lado do então técnico Vanderlei Luxemburgo, após o treinador usar um discurso duro contra o elenco após a goleada sofrida para o Grêmio por 5 a 0, no Brasileiro de 2017. Em São Januário, Faria integrará o Comitê Gestor de Futebol do Vasco, se reportando aos demais dirigentes da pasta para contratações e outras decisões.

PCB should check player assets – Kamran Akmal

Kamran Akmal wants his name cleared once and for all•Getty Images

Kamran Akmal, the Pakistan wicketkeeper, has said he is in favour of having the PCB check the assets and bank accounts of all of its players every six months to ensure that the players are clean.”I would support any move by the PCB to regularly check player assets and accounts,” Akmal told . “I say it should be a six month exercise. Only such an exercise can clean up our image and end these baseless allegations made against us all the time.”Earlier this month, three Pakistan players – Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir – were given jail sentences after they were found found guilty of conspiring to bowl pre-determined no-balls in the Lord’s Test against England in August 2010. Following the spot-fixing trial, the ICC’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit said they were considering new investigations based on information that came out during the trial.”I would welcome any move by the ICC to have a fresh inquiry based on evidence allegedly given in the spot-fixing trial in London,” Akmal said. “I am ready to make myself available to any investigation. Because I want this stigma to go away for ever.”The ICC and PCB cleared me to play for Pakistan but yet the media keeps on mentioning my name in relation to spot-fixing stories.”Akmal has had a controversial time behind the stumps for Pakistan over the course of his career and has been criticised for his shoddy wicketkeeping. He was dropped after the 2011 World Cup semi-final in which Pakistan lost to India, and his place was taken by his youngest brother, Adnan Akmal. He subsequently lost his central contract for the second half of 2011 as well, but said he is determined to prove his worth in domestic cricket and make a comeback.

Lateral Régis volta a trabalhar no São Paulo após ter contrato suspenso

MatériaMais Notícias

O lateral Régis voltou a trabalhar no São Paulo. O jogador, que teve seu contrato suspenso devido a problemas pessoais, reiniciou sua rotina no CT da Barra Funda, mas ainda não será reintegrado ao elenco da equipe comandada pelo técnico uruguaio Diego Aguirre.

O jogador trabalhará à parte, em períodos alternativos, conforme determinação da comissão técnica. Conforme sua evolução, pode voltar a treinar com a equipe principal e disputar uma vaga na lateral-direita com Bruno Peres e Éder Militão.

Contratado pelo São Bento, em abril deste ano, o jogador fez dez jogos pelo Tricolor e chegou a ser um dos principais nomes da equipe com a atual comissão técnica, que já pode atuar pelos dois lados do campo e tem características ofensivas.

Régis tem contrato com o São Paulo até o mês de abril do ano que vem. Caso seja do interesse do clube do Morumbi permanecer com o atleta, o vínculo pode ser estendido por mais três anos.

قبل المواجهة المرتقبة بينهما.. إيكو: ريال مدريد يحاول زعزعة ليفربول من خلال كلوب

كشفت تقارير صحفية إسبانية، أن نادي ريال مدريد يتواصل مع الألماني يورجن كلوب المدير الفني لفريق ليفربول، لتولي قيادة الفريق الأول لكرة القدم، خلفًا للإيطالي كارلو أنشيلوتي.

ريال مدريد يعاني خلال الفترة الماضية من تذبذب في النتائج، بعد خسارة السوبر الإسباني، والتراجع في الدوري لصالح برشلونة، مع خسارته الأخيرة أمام ريال مايوركا.

ويواجه ريال مدريد مساء اليوم، الهلال السعودي في نهائي كأس العالم للأندية، بعدما تخطى الملكي نظيره الأهلي المصري يوم الأربعاء الماضي، في نصف النهائي برباعية مقابل هدف.

صحيفة “ليفربول إيكو” البريطانية، عنونت (وسائل الإعلام الإسبانية تحاول زعزعة استقرار ليفربول)، بعدما نقلت ما أفادت به “إل ناسيونال” الإسبانية، بأن ريال مدريد على اتصال بـ يورجن كلوب لمناقشة إمكانية أن يكون مدرب النادي الملكي الجديد.

الصحيفة البريطانية، أشارت إلى أن تلك الأخبار، يمكن أن تكون من أجل زعزعة ليفربول، قبل مباراة الفريقين يوم 21 من فبراير الجاري، في ذهاب دور الـ16 من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

يورجن كلوب أيضًا، مستقبله غير مضمون في ليفربول، مع استمرار نتائج الريدز السيئة، وعدم الفوز خلال المباريات الـ5 الأخيرة بمختلف المسابقات، والخروج من بطولتي كأس الاتحاد والرابطة، والتواجد في المركز العاشر بجدول ترتيب الدوري الإنجليزي برصيد 29 نقطة بفارق 11 نقطة عن نيوكاسل صاحب المركز الرابع.

Bowlers give Hyderabad control

A round-up of the action from the first day of the fourth round of matches in the Ranji Trophy Plate Division 2011-12

ESPNcricinfo staff29-Nov-2011Led by Mohammed Khader and Anwar Ahmed, Hyderabad skittled Goa for 147 on the first day of their Ranji Trophy game in Porvorim. Khader and Ahmed combined to take 6 for 50, and India spinner Pragyan Ojha took 2 for 43, as the hosts failed to generate any momentum. Swapnil Asnodkar, returned after serving his two-match ban for calling off a potentially achievable chase against Maharashtra, returned to the side, but failed to make an impact, falling for 8 as Goa crawled to 22 for 1 from 14.3 overs. The scoring-rate hovered around two for the duration of the innings, and only two batsmen managed to go past 20. Vaibhav Naik crawled to 23 from 81 balls while Abhishek Raut top-scored with 41 from 78 balls. Akshath Reddy got Hyderabad’s reply off to a positive start, remaining unbeaten on 41 as the visitors ended the day on 61 for 2.Dheeraj Jadhav’s 18th first-class century and a supporting hand from Amit Sinha gave Assam the first-day honours against Jharkhand at the Railway Stadium in Dhanbad. Assam began well after choosing to bat, their openers Jadhav and Pallavkumar Das adding 58. Sinha went along patiently at No.3, reaching 79 by the close off 198 balls, and guiding Assam to 234 for 3. Jadhav and Sinha put on 135 for the second wicket before the centurion fell for 102, dismissed by Samar Qadri who picked up two wickets. Sibsankar Roy fell cheaply but Sinha saw Assam through to the close with no further hiccups.Andhra Pradesh made the Kerala batsmen struggle on a rain-curtailed day at the Nehru Stadium in Kochi. Left-arm medium-pacer Takkami Atchuta Rao and left-arm spinner Shankara Rao. Takkami did the early damage, dismissing opener VA Jagadeesh and No.3 Robert Fernandez off successive deliveries in the eighth over. Those early strikes slowed down the innings considerably. Though the Kerala batsmen consumed several deliveries, their batting stagnated, and AP made steady inroads to reduce them to 95 for 5 in the 58th over. That became 110 for 6 soon after, Takkami ending the day with three and Shankara with two.Jammu and Kashmir batted out the first day at the Chatrapati Shivaji Stadium in Ratnagiri, reaching 302 for 8, against the in-form Maharashtra. Opener Adil Rishi top-scored with 88, backed up by important contributions along the way. He added 116 with wicketkeeper Manish Dogra, and was the third wicket to fall, with the score on 166. For Maharashtra, left-arm spinner Akshya Darekar grabbed 4 for 60 and his team would have felt confident of bowling out J&K for under 300 after reducing them to 236 for 7 at one stage. Captain Hardeep Singh and Samiullah Beigh, however, added 59 for the eighth wicket that made it possible for J&K to reach 302 at the close.Vidarbha had the better of the first day against Tripura at the Maharaja Bir Bikram College Stadium in Agartala. Medium-pacer Sandeep Singh picked up four wickets to help restrict Tripura to 246 for 7 at stumps on the first day. Opener Rajib Saha made 77 and wicketkeeper Vinayak Samant also scored a half-century; this, after Tripura were struggling at 38 for 3 at one stage. Debabrata Chowdhury and Udit Patel chipped in with 37 and 38 respectively, ensuring Tripura reached a respectable score at stumps.A determined rear-guard action from the lower order rescued Himachal Pradesh from 95 for 5 and took them 262 for 6 at the close of the first day against Services in Dharamsala. Having been put in, Himachal lost wickets at regular intervals and when Nishan Singh removed Sridharan Sriram for a painstaking 16 from 94 balls, it looked like the hosts would capitulate quickly. However, captain Ajay Ratra and Amit Kumar turned things around with a 112-run partnership for the sixth wicket before Ratra became Nishan’s third wicket of the day, caught behind for 52. Kumar (76*) then found another willing ally in Rishi Dhawan (29*), and the pair addeda further 55 to give their side a share of the honours on the day.
