علق طه إسماعيل المحلل الرياضي، على فوز الأهلي أمام بيراميدز، خلال المباراة التي جمعت بينهما في بطولة كأس السوبر المصري.

الأهلي حقق لقب السوبر بعد الفوز على بيراميدز بهدف دون رد، على أرضية استاد محمد بن زايد في مدينة أبو ظبي.

وقال طه إسماعيل في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “أون تايم سبورتس”: “الأهلي فاز بالتفوق البدني على مدار الأربعة أشواط، كل الكرات الطويلة يحصل عليها، بيراميدز كان ندًا، لكن المارد الأحمر استعد بدنيًا أكثر من الفريق السماوي وتفوق في هذا الشق”.

وأضاف: “لا شك أن الأهلي تفوق بالإرث التاريخي للبطولات، الأهلي عنده ثقافة البطولات حتى وإن كان ليس الأفضل في أي مباراة، ولكنه ينتزع الفوز بالروح العالية”.

وأكمل: “لا نغفل فريق بيراميدز الذي كان بإمكانه أن يتعادل في أي وقت، لكن الأهلي يستحق الفوز”.

وأتم: “الأهلي أضاع بعض الفرص السهلة، بيرسي تاو أضاع فرصة سهلة من خلال استقبال كرة بطريقة سيئة، وفرصة أخرى عبد القادر أهدرها، لكن اجمالًا الفريقين كانا متكافئين”.

A negociação fracassada entre Palmeiras e Blackstar foi complicada desde o início. Após a primeira reunião, na terça passada, o clube já enxergou quebra de confiança no dia seguinte, quando Rubnei Quícoli, representante da empresa, violou um acordo de confidencialidade e deu detalhes na imprensa sobre os termos de um possível patrocínio de dez anos, que não sairá do papel.

Desde então, nenhum dos lados falou mais a mesma língua. Enquanto o Verdão evitou tratar publicamente da negociação e sempre teve Crefisa e FAM como as favoritas para seguir patrocinando o uniforme em 2019, Rubnei mostrava publicamente seu entusiasmo em pagar R$ 1 bilhão à vista para o clube que torce, por um contrato de dez anos. A Crefisa renovará por três, prazo do novo mandato de Maurício Galiotte.

Alexandre Zanotta, diretor jurídico e agora vice-presidente, foi quem se reuniu com o funcionário da Blackstar, e quem na quinta pediu que fosse respondido um questionário com 19 perguntas sobre a interessada em 24 horas. Os questionamentos, segundo a gestão de Galiotte, são os mesmos feitos a qualquer empresa que deseja fazer parceria, mesmo que for para um simples licenciamento de produto, por ser uma potencial ligação da marca ao Verdão.

Mas a mensagem ofendeu Rubnei, que alegou ser difícil a obtenção de tantos documentos rapidamente porque a Blackstaré uma empresa recém-criada e com base em recursos que adquiriu para fazer investimentos, além da diferença de fuso horário, já que os escritórios estão na Ásia. O empresário, então, rebateu duramente, de uma forma que surpreendeu o clube. Em trocas de e-mail, sempre reclamou da forma como a empresa vinha sendo tratada e, em carta aberta, chegou a chamar Galiotte de patético e covarde.

Sem as respostas, e com um discurso cada vez mais irritado do representante da Blackstar, o Verdão passou a fazer uma investigação interna sobre a empresa. E descobriu que o documento apresentado como se fosse do HSBC de Hong Kong, com garantias financeiras, era falso. O presidente Maurício Galiotte tornou o caso público e decretou o fim das conversas.

Genaro Marino, candidato de oposição derrotado na eleição presidencial, foi o responsável por levar a proposta ao Palmeiras e se surpreendeu com o desenrolar. Segundo ele, foram apresentadas garantias e sua intenção era agir com a melhor das intenções. Torcedores, contudo, criticaram tanto ele quanto Paulo Nobre, quem também participou das primeiras conversas com o membro da Blackstar.

O caminho, portanto, está aberto para que Crefisa e FAM renovem o vínculo até o fim de 2021 com o Verdão. As partes já tinham tido conversas sobre a permanência, vista com otimismo pelos dois lados.

A tendência é de que o valor do contrato suba de R$ 78 milhões para mais de R$ 80 milhões, e as bonificações serão mantidas: R$ 4 milhões para uma vaga na Libertadores, R$ 6 milhões pelo título paulista, R$ 8 milhões pelo da Copa do Brasil, R$ 10 milhões pelo Brasileiro (o clube recebeu este valor após a recente conquista) e R$ 12 milhões caso vença a Libertadores.

Há a possibilidade, ainda, de a patrocinadora participar do pagamento de parte dos salários de Ricardo Goulart, que está próximo de acertar por um ano. Crefisa e FAM são comandadas pela conselheira Leila Pereira e já bancam fatias dos vencimentos de Lucas Lima e Borja, por exemplo.

Zimbabwe selector Givemore Makoni cannot be reappointed to his job because of a new directive from the country’s Sports and Recreation Commission

Firdose Moonda16-Jan-2013

Zimbabwe’s most recent convenor of selectors Givemore Makoni cannot be reappointed to his job because of a new directive from the country’s Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC). The directive, which comes into effect on February 1, states that only former national players can become selectors.”Good performance of national teams in international matches is a matter of national interest. It has been noted that in some circumstances, this national interest has been compromised by the calibre of national team selectors who lack the requisite experience and skills to play their role effectively,” the SRC said in a statement. “This directive therefore seeks to correct this anomaly so as to improve the competitiveness of our national teams.”Continual underperformance of teams across sports prompted the SRC to take this step. The minister of education, sports, arts and culture, David Coltart, explained that it was a decision taken after in-depth consultation with the country’s sportsmen and women.”A wide cross section of Zimbabwean sportspersons have told me that playing at international level involves a considerable leap in physical and mental expertise, which is best understood and appreciated by sportspersons who have experienced that themselves,” Coltart said. “The same sportspersons have advised me that national players are far more likely to respect and accept hard selection decisions made by people who have achieved themselves at the highest level.”Although the directive comes into effect in two weeks’ time, it was first mooted in October last year. In the same month, Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) changed their policy following the death of Kevin Curran, one of the members of their selection committee. Curran, who was also the coach of the Mashonaland Eagles, was part of a three-person panel that also included former Test player Wayne James and Makoni. Alan Butcher, the national coach, was only used in an advisory capacity.The directive and Curran’s death took place within weeks of each other, and resulted in ZC shaking up their panel. James and Butcher sat on a two-person committee but Makoni had a casting vote. The main difference between the rejigged panel and the previous one was that the coach had more of a say. Historically, according to Coltart, Zimbabwean cricket coaches have not been selectors but ZC has now changed this.Once the SRC ruling comes into effect, Makoni will not be able to play any part in selection and it also means that if ZC appoints a coach who is not a former national player, he cannot be a selector. Butcher is not reapplying for his job, which will end after the tour to West Indies in March, and Steven Mangongo, the assistant coach, is one of the people in the running to take over. Mangongo did not play for Zimbabwe.Mangongo, batting coach Grant Flower and bowling coach Heath Streak are believed to be in the running for the coaching positions. Mangongo will be ruled out if ZC want to continue having their coach act as a selector, which has led Makoni to tell local papers the directive was “utter rubbish and racist.” He believes it will deny black officials opportunity to advance.Coltart denied the new policy was racially targeted. “Regarding Mangongo, it is ZC who have recently changed the rules on coaches,” he said. “If they want to hire Mangongo they can easily revert to the status quo and have the coach in an advisory capacity.”Coltart also said he could alter portions of the directive to ensure coaches were not excluded entirely from selection, irrespective of their level of playing. “This was never designed to exclude coaches from the decision making process and so I may well refine the directive to make sure that that is the case – and do say as the Australians do. The chair is always an ex-player and there are a majority of ex-players but the coach is on the panel and he doesn’t have to be an ex player.”Zimbabwe had long standing racial divisions that exposed themselves in cricket with the white player walk-out in 2004. Players including Heath Streak, the Flower brothers and Alistair Campbell walked away from cricket in the country because of ZC’s aggressive transformation program. Matters were thought to have eased when they returned to the fold and Zimbabwe fielded teams that now represent the country’s population.Makoni, who will remain manager of the Southern Rocks, is still fearful the directive could divide Zimbabwe cricket again and angry that he will not be considered for the selection panel because of the new rules.”Not playing for Zimbabwe during our time did not mean that you were not good enough to play for the national team. Doors were closed for us,” he said. “We fought that system and although we didn’t benefit from it, in terms of playing for the national team, it opened the doors for a lot of black players.”Now, we have black cricket players all over the country, cricket is spreading into a truly mass sporting discipline. We can’t allow people to come and try and reverse all that,” he said. Coltart denied any plot to exclude black Zimbabweans and said Makoni’s remarks were “abusive and unnecessary.”

George Bailey’s maiden international century set up a 54-run victory for Australia in the second ODI against West Indies in Perth, where they took a 2-0 series lead

The Report by Brydon Coverdale03-Feb-2013
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsGeorge Bailey finished unbeaten on 125•Getty Images

On Friday, West Indies batted first and were bowled out at the WACA for 70. Two days later, Australia were sent in at the same ground and were 6 for 98. Another short day’s play loomed. But George Bailey’s maiden international century changed all of that and drove Australia to a scarcely believable 7 for 266 – after the match he said he had considered anything more than 200 a bonus – and Mitchell Starc’s second consecutive five-wicket haul confirmed Australia’s 54-run victory.The Perth fans who returned after seeing only 33.1 overs in the first match were certainly rewarded for their dedication. Not only did they see Bailey’s remarkable unbeaten 125, they were also treated to some dazzling fielding from West Indies and some powerful striking in their unsuccessful chase. Kieran Powell and Dwayne Bravo struck two sixes each as they kept West Indies in the contest, but just as entertaining were the four sixes Sunil Narine took off the first four balls of a Glenn Maxwell over late in the game.Maxwell had his revenge later in the over when Narine was stumped for 24 off six balls. If he hadn’t already found out during the day, Maxwell would also have been greeted when he left the field by the news that he had sold for a $1 million price tag in the IPL auction that unfolded while the Australians were playing. It was quite a way to cap off a match in which he took 4 for 63, his first wickets at ODI level. Among them were Bravo, caught behind for 45, and the dangerous Kieron Pollard and Darren Sammy cheaply.When the final wicket fell, Jason Holder run out in the 39th over, West Indies had reached 212, still well short of their goal. The damage had mostly been done at the top of the order by Starc, who found plenty of swing in his first spell and pitched the ball full and straight. Chris Gayle (4) was the first to fall, missing a ball that slanted in towards the off stump, and continued his poor run of form.Smart stats

George Bailey’s 125 is the fifth-highest score by an Australian batsman in ODIs against West Indies. It is also the third-highest score in ODIs in Perth.

Mitchell Starc became only the third Australian bowler after Gary Gilmour and Ryan Harris to pick up two consecutive five-fors. He now has two performances among the top six by Australian bowlers against West Indies.

The 24 runs scored by Bailey off the last over is the second-best (sixth overall) by an Australian batsman (ODIs since 2000) after Darren Lehmann, who scored 28 runs against Namibia in the 2003 World Cup.

The 100-run stand between Bailey and James Faulkner is the third-highest seventh-wicket partnership for Australia overall and their best against West Indies. It is also the second-best seventh-wicket stand in ODIs against West Indies.

Australia’s partnership aggregate of 168 runs for the seventh and eighth wickets is the second-highest in an ODI behind South Africa’s 198 runs in Cape Town in 2006.

The partnership run-rate of 12.00 during the 68-run stand between Bailey and Mitchell Johnson is the second-highest for an eighth-wicket stand for Australia (50-plus stands).

The 126-run partnership between Dwayne Bravo and Kieran Powell is the third-best fourth-wicket stand for West Indies against Australia. The highest is 149 between Clive Lloyd and Rohan Kanhai in the first World Cup final.

In the same over, Starc’s first of the innings, Ramnaresh Sarwan was also trapped lbw to a delivery that pitched in line and swung back in to the right-hander. Sarwan did not manage to get his bat anywhere near the ball and his second-ball duck meant he would leave Perth yet to get off the mark in the series, having also scored a duck in the first ODI on Friday. Darren Bravo (14) was Starc’s third lbw and his dismissal left West Indies wobbling at 3 for 33.But Dwayne Bravo and Powell led the recovery with a 126-run partnership that put West Indies firmly back in the contest. Powell was especially impressive, striking ten fours and a pair of sixes before he was lbw to Starc for 83, the victim of a successful Australian review. It was one of two reviews that went against West Indies in the chase, and by far the less controversial of the two. How the third umpire Asad Rauf came to overturn Nigel Llong’s not-out decision against Devon Thomas was a mystery.Starc dug the ball in short and Thomas, facing his first ball of the innings, thrust his hands up to fend and the ball fizzed through to Matthew Wade. Despite replays showing no Hot Spot mark, no definite vision of the ball hitting the gloves, and no clear sound as the ball went past, the decision was overturned and Thomas was gone for a golden duck. It was a baffling moment and one that took a little of the gloss of what was otherwise an excellent performance from the Australians.It wasn’t looking so good earlier in the day at 6 for 98. At the halfway point of the innings, Bailey was already the last recognised batsman and Australia needed something special from him to deliver them a competitive total, but even so his unbeaten 125 from 110 balls was greater than anything they could have hoped for at that stage.The top-order collapse came largely through poor shot selection and brilliant West Indian fielding as the competition for catch of the day intensified seemingly with each wicket. The Australian recovery then arrived via a 100-run seventh-wicket partnership between Bailey and his fellow Launcestonian James Faulkner, who made 39, and then an unbeaten 68-run eighth-wicket stand between Bailey and Mitchell Johnson, who finished on 16.Much of the damage came in the final five overs as the Australians added 64 runs, including 25 during a disastrous 50th over for West Indies bowled by Dwayne Bravo. In the 49th over, Bailey brought up his hundred by slogging a Kemar Roach full toss for six over midwicket and he followed with three more sixes from Bravo, over long-on and cover, as the bowler was unable to find the yorker length required.It was a perfect example of how to build an innings in difficult circumstances as Bailey began slowly and worked his way into a rhythm, constructing the partnerships Australia needed to get themselves back in the game. His half-century had come from 69 balls and by the end of his innings, he had accumulated so many runs that, since his debut in March last year, only Ian Bell had scored more ODI runs than Bailey’s 720.Initially, he had outstanding support from Faulkner, who was playing his first innings at international level. He scored a valuable 39 from 67 balls, occupying time and ticking the scoreboard over after the top order was unable to do the job. Faulkner had come to the crease after Maxwell was bowled for a golden duck by Sammy, following quickly from the loss of Matthew Wade for 16.Australia’s problems began when the opener Usman Khawaja, on 3, flicked Roach off his pads and was brilliantly caught by Powell, who hurled himself to his right from forward square leg and managed to make the ball stick. Khawaja’s opening partner Aaron Finch (11) fell to an even better take when his searing cut off Holder was snapped up at cover point by Darren Bravo, who plucked the ball one-handed above his head.Phillip Hughes (21) pulled Sammy to Darren Bravo at midwicket and Michael Clarke was bowled by a Dwayne Bravo yorker for 16, but then came the best catch of the lot. Wade went for a cut off Narine and his edge fizzed high and fast and Sammy displayed quite remarkable reflexes to thrust his hand above his head and grab the ball, which looked destined for the boundary.But that turned out to be the high point of the day for West Indies. For Bailey, Starc and the rest of the Australians, a much happier few hours were about to unfold.

ارتبط اسم النجم البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو، مرة أخرى بالانتقال إلى بايرن ميونخ الألماني، وفقًا لتقارير صحفية.

وانتقل رونالدو إلى النصر السعودي في يناير الماضي، وقبل ذلك كان هناك حديث عن إمكانية الانضمام إلى بايرن ميونخ، لكن نفى حينها مسؤولو النادي الألماني الأمر.

ووفقًا لـ “Abendzeitung Munich” الألمانية، بعث رجل الأعمال الألماني ماركوس شون، صاحب موقع (buero.de)، بريدًا إلكترونيًا إلى بايرن ميونخ، تحديدًا إلى أوليفر كان الرئيس التنفيذي للنادي، يعرض عليهم تمويل صفقة رونالدو.

وأوضح التقرير أن شون على استعداد لاستثمار أمواله في صفقة رونالدو، وأشار في البريد الإلكتروني إلى قدرته على تخفيض راتب النجم البرتغالي لتسهيل انتقاله إلى بايرن ميونخ.

ويشير التقرير إلى أن رغبة رونالدو في خوض المنافسة بدوري أبطال أوروبا مرة أخرى، قد تساهم في تسهيل المفاوضات.

على الرغم من ذلك، رونالدو لديه عقد لمدة عامين مع النصر السعودي، لذلك من غير المرجح أن توافق إدارة النادي على التخلي عن نجمهم البرتغالي بعد خمسة أشهر فقط من وصوله.

O título da coluna é proposital. Tudo para raciocinarmos juntos. Nesta quinta-feira à noite, Pará jogou contra o Ajax (HOL) na estreia do Flamengo pela Florida Cup – empate em 2 a 2 no tempo normal, e vitória por 4 a 3. Mas você pode se perguntar ou mesmo me perguntar o que tem isso. Vamos lá, então. A começar pelo vídeo que viralizou na semana passada do presidente Rodolfo Landin: “Iremos ganhar tudo”. Estava bem animado o cartola, haja vista as contratações que o Rubro-Negro carioca está fazendo: Gabigol e De Arrascaeta, além de sonhar com Bruno Henrique, Miranda, Rafinha (este último já apalavrado, mas somente para o mês de maio)… É, realmente, dá para ele e a torcida sonharem.

Voltemos ao Pará, que está anos-luz atrás para ser a solução da lateral direita. Não foi até hoje, não será amanhã ou depois. Para se ter uma ideia do drama que assola a Gávea há várias temporadas (e olha que Eduardo Bandeira de Mello e a sua turma tiveram tempo para resolver isso), Rodinei é reserva de Marcos Rogério Ricci Lopes (nome de batismo de Pará).

Ué, peraí. Lembrei de uma coisa, pois eu estava em folgas prolongadas. Ouvi que o técnico Abel Braga dizer que o Flamengo estava bem servido na posição: “O Cruzeiro, por exemplo, está (ou estava) interessado no Rodinei”. Mas se o cara serve para o atual campeão da Copa do Brasil, por que, ora bolas, ele está na reserva de… Pará!

Bom, verdade seja dita. Se o Flamengo está montando um elenco (típico o do Palmeiras) para “ganhar tudo” como dissera o presidente do clube, não será com Pará ou Rodinei na posição. Logicamente, os adversários já saberão por onde atacar, o ponto fraco.

Se insistirem nisso, Abel Braga terá que mostrar que entende da prancheta e armar um padrão tático para que o setor fique protegido dos bombardeios rivais. Do contrário, mesmo com elenco milionário, o cheirinho deixado pela gestão anterior vai ficar ainda mais forte este ano.

O próprio Abel, que estava no Fluminense no início do ano passado e sofrendo com a lateral direita, sequer cogitou a contratação de um deles. Chega! Vamos parar de hipocrisia. Não, não é jogador para o Flamengo e nem outro gigante do futebol brasileiro.

Ah, vão lembrar que ele, no caso o Pará, ganhou o segundo lugar da “Bola de Prata” do Brasileirão de 2016, que conquistou títulos no Santos, que defendeu o Grêmio, isso ou aquilo e “quês, quês, quês…”. Já está chato falar disso. A torcida que se entenda com a diretoria e comissão técnica ou vice-versa.

Depois não vão dizer que não foram avisados e reclamar das vaias dos torcedores ou das críticas da imprensa, falando que é perseguição. Sabem por que? Porque ter jogadores de peso e elenco milionário não é sinônimo de títulos. Se fosse assim, que fizesse então logo uma final entre Flamengo e Palmeiras. Não é?

A parada é dentro de campo. Exemplos não faltam no Rubro-Negro: Romário, Sávio e Edmundo, em 1995; Edílson, Alex, Vampeta e Denílson, em 2000. Que a atual diretoria e comissão técnica tenham essa ciência e a sabedoria para não deixar traumas nos torcedores como aconteceu naqueles anos e com a gestão Bandeira de Mello. Como dito: craques em excesso não é garantia de títulos. E repito: não é?

*Em jornalismo, o lide (em inglês: lead) é a primeira parte de uma notícia. Geralmente o primeiro parágrafo posto em destaque, que fornece ao leitor informação básica sobre o conteúdo.

Por isso, resolvi escrever a coluna desta forma. Para, juntos, chegarmos a uma conclusão. Ou se é que tem uma conclusão sobre o que foi escrito. Como já dito (e reforçando): que diretoria e comissão técnica resolvam o problema crônico da lateral direita.
