Confirmando sua superioridade indiscutível nos 90 minutos de jogo, o Palmeiras venceu o Cuiabá por 2 a 0 na noite deste sábado (19), na Arena Pantanal, e viu a distância do líder Botafogo cair de 13 para 11 pontos. Apesar de o próprio técnico Abel Ferreira ter minimizado a aproximação com o time carioca na tabela do Brasileirão e ter afirmado que o Alvinegro se encontra em uma posição confortável, um ponto deve ser valorizado: a consistência de sua equipe.

Mesmo entrando em campo com um “mistão”, o Alviverde teve uma postura dominante, sólida tanto na defensa quanto no ataque. E é exatamente essa é a exibição esperada em uma semana de Copa Libertadores. Diferentemente da rodada anterior, em que, depois de tantas oportunidades perdidas, o Verdão teve que contar com a estrela de Flaco López nos acréscimos para garantir os três pontos em casa, diante do Cuiabá os gols saíram em uma apresentação coletiva inspirada.

Não foi uma noite especial apenas para Richard Ríos, que anotou uma pintura de fora da área para sacramentar a vitória alviverde, mas um outro personagem colecionou mais uma importante marca com a camisa do Verdão: Raphael Veiga. O atual jogador com mais gols e maior garçom do time na temporada se igualou a Alex na artilharia da história do clube, com 78 bolas na rede.

Por motivos como esse, não foi à toa que o camisa 23 foi convocado por Fernando Diniz para servir à Seleção Brasileira. No Palmeiras, o ‘fator Veiga’ tem se mostrado cada vez mais determinante, com aparições dignas de um jogador que vai representar a Amarelinha e que tanto tem a cara do treinador. Mas será que ainda dá para alcançar o Botafogo na briga pelo título?

Como disse Abel Ferreira na coletiva após a vitória contra o Cuiabá, o Botafogo está em uma posição confortável e tem tudo para ser campeão. O que o Verdão sempre irá fazer é entrar em campo com força máxima, mesmo diante um calendário apertado, lesões e um elenco curto. Estar distante não significa estar inalcançável. São 11 pontos e um sonho, logo, é fazer o possível para tentar alcançar o “impossível” sabendo da improbabilidade e com os pés no chão, até porque há outra chama super viva: a Libertadores da América.

+ Abel elogia vitória do Palmeiras, mas ainda vê Botafogo distante na tabela: ‘Margem super confortável’

Apesar do favoritismo na quarta-feira (23) contra o Deportivo Pereira, da Colômbia, o Alviverde sabe da importância de manter a consistência das últimas atuações e confirmar sua posição como favorito fora de casa. Abel disse que o Palmeiras “não prioriza nada”, mas, especialmente depois da eliminação dolorosa na Copa do Brasil e a consequente determinação da torcida da Libertadores ser “obrigação”, não é segredo para ninguém que a principal competição do continente é o objetivo palmeirense na temporada.

Com Dudu ainda como incerteza para quarta e vivendo um dia de cada vez, as próximas duas semanas, começando já nesta, serão decisivas para o futuro do Verdão na temporada. Entre os jogos de ida e volta contra a equipe colombiana, o Alviverde recebe o Vasco, pelo Brasileirão, no próximo domingo (27), e com certeza não quer deixar pontos escaparem em casa. O Palmeiras mostra a consistência como aliada em momento crucial no ano, o que pode ser fundamental tendo em vista, principalmente, a sequência de jogos que virá pela frente.

“We went a bit overboard in terms of bowling bouncers and tried to take wickets,” Shreyas Iyer said about what went wrong against DC

ESPNcricinfo staff25-May-20253:09

Should PBKS be concerned about their bowling?

As the IPL 2025 playoffs draw near, Punjab Kings (PBKS) find themselves with a potential Achilles’ heel – their bowling. Even as the power-packed batting line-up has consistently put up 200-plus scores, the bowlers have struggled to deliver under pressure, with PBKS relying heavily on Arshdeep Singh, Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal. On Saturday, PBKS failed to defend 206 against Delhi Capitals (DC), which dented their chances of finishing in the top two. Their former head coach Anil Kumble feels “it’s certainly worrying”.”Yes [PBKS should be concerned about their bowling],” Kumble said on ESPNcricinfo’s Time Out show. “We have seen that on display. Other than Arshdeep and without [Harpreet] Brar to an extent… we don’t know what happened to Chahal [who missed the game]. It’s certainly worrying. And with Marco Jansen not being there for the playoffs, this is a worry.”PBKS’ spin-bowling coach Sunil Joshi clarified after the game that Chahal had been rested because of a niggle. While Brar stepped up in Chahal’s absence as the lead spinner to return 2 for 41, it wasn’t enough as PBKS failed to control the chase and DC scored 114 runs from the last 57 balls.Related

Arshdeep has been their best bowler with 16 wickets at an economy rate of 8.70 in 13 matches, while Chahal and Jansen – who will be unavailable for the playoffs owing to South Africa duties – have 14 wickets each. Left-arm spinner Brar has played only six games but has stood out, picking up nine wickets at an economy rate of 8.50. Allrounder Azmatullah Omarzai’s recent performances – five wickets in five innings at an economy rate of 10.60 – hasn’t been spectacular either, while Marcus Stoinis hasn’t had an enormous amount to do.After the six-wicket defeat to DC, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer said that they “went a bit overboard” in trying bouncers and failed to execute plans.”I felt that it was a fantastic score, to be honest, on this wicket because it was helping the seamer,” Iyer said on the broadcast. “There was some odd bounce, variable bounce, and, yeah, the ball wasn’t coming at the same pace, so I felt that that was overpowering.”I think we weren’t disciplined enough in terms of our execution. Once we read the wicket in the first innings, we had planned that we would be bowling hard lengths as much as possible. Right in the stumps. I think we went a bit overboard in terms of bowling bouncers and tried to take wickets. Couldn’t execute that, but a great learning for the boys.”With just one game left in the league phase for PBKS, Kumble and Tom Moody warned that the loss could derail the team’s momentum, and that they shouldn’t start doubting themselves at the business end of the tournament.”Yeah, momentum’s a funny thing,” Moody said, “because when you’ve got it, you feel like when you go into a contest without bowling a ball, you feel like you’re ahead of the game already, even though the contest is starting on an even-playing field.Arshdeep Singh has been PBKS’ best bowler this season•Getty Images

“But when you don’t have momentum, you feel like you’re behind the game and you’re having to catch up to get even to start the game.”Iyer, however, sounded a positive note, and didn’t want to “dwell too much” on the defeat.”It [the IPL] is bigger than a [English] Premier League, I feel, because every team is equally poised in this tournament,” he said. “You never know when anything can happen, but you’ve got to stay positive and stay calm as much as possible, because there’s always a sunrise you’ve got to see tomorrow. You come in with a fresh mindset and also see to it that you’re sticking to the present and not dwell too much about what has happened today.”We’ve got to go back to the drawing board and see where we went wrong and definitely come in with a strong set of plans so that we’ll be able to execute pretty well in the next game.”

After losing three of his first six Premier League games in charge of Manchester United this season, it’s no surprise that pressure is once again starting to mount on manager Ruben Amorim.

The 40-year-old could only lead the Red Devils to a 15th-place finish last time around, but he was handed the benefit of the doubt after taking the reins midway through the campaign.

However, the hierarchy backed him with over £200m worth of funds to strengthen his first-team squad, but so far, it appears that his attempts have been to no avail.

Questions have since started to be asked about his long-term future in the role, but it’s thought that the hierarchy aren’t yet planning a change of manager despite the recent poor form.

Despite such reports, rumours continue to swirl around Old Trafford, with numerous names constantly touted over a potential switch to take the reins in the near future.

The latest on United’s hunt for an Amorim replacement

Over the last couple of days, former England boss Gareth Southgate has been hugely linked with the role at United – not for the first time, after being touted for the position numerous times in recent years.

The 55-year-old would be a cheap option for the hierarchy, with no compensation fee needing to be paid, given he’s currently without a job after departing the Three Lions role in July last year.

However, he’s not the only manager currently in their sights, with Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner another huge target, according to Graeme Bailey.

The journalist confirmed in recent days that the Eagles are planning to tie the Austrian down to a new contract, but the Red Devils are looking to swoop and secure his services.

He also stated that the 51-year-old could be open to the switch after receiving a lack of funding at Selhurst Park, with the move to Old Trafford undoubtedly a huge jump in his managerial career.

Why United’s latest target would be the next Mourinho

José Mourinho was a manager who divided opinion during his time at United, but his ability to win trophies is something which simply can’t be understated.

The 62-year-old spent two and a half years in the role at Old Trafford, securing two trophies in the form of the Europa League and the EFL Cup – with both trophies coming in the 2016/17 campaign.

He also led the club to their joint-highest league standing since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, ending the 2017/18 season in 2nd place behind Manchester City.

His outspoken nature often drew discontent from the fanbase, subsequently leading to his departure from the Red Devils back in December 2018.

However, the hierarchy could appoint their next version of the manager should they appoint Glasner, with the Austrian possessing a lot of similarities to Mourinho.

In a surprising turn of events in 2024/25, the 51-year-old claimed the FA Cup by beating Manchester City in the final to secure their first-ever major trophy.

He also won the Community Shield against Liverpool back in August, matching the feat achieved by Mourinho at Chelsea before his own move to the Theatre of Dreams.

Glasner, who’s been labelled “sensational” by Sky Sports’ Dougie Critchley, has also led the Eagles to an 18-game unbeaten run across all competitions – the longest of any side in England’s top-flight.

In his 72 outings in charge of the Eagles, he’s claimed victory in 35 of them, whilst only losing 15 times – further highlighting how impressive he’s been at Selhurst Park.

Such a record has seen him lose six fewer games than Amorim at United, that’s despite taking charge of 23 more outings than the 40-year-old at Old Trafford.

It remains unclear if Glasner himself would be open to making the move to Manchester, but it’s clear that the Austrian would be an unbelievable appointment should Amorim depart.

Given the failures felt since the current boss took charge nearly 12 months ago, it’s crucial that the board make a huge call on his future in the coming weeks, but the appointment is just as important, with Glasner needing to be the number one target.

Ednaldo Rodrigues, presidente da CBF, montou um planejamento para definir se manterá ou não a técnica Pia Sundhage no comando técnico da Seleção Brasileira Feminina. O mandatário da entidade máxima do futebol brasileiro fará uma avaliação sobre o trabalho da treinadora e pretende conversar sobre o futuro da treinadora com as atletas mais experientes que disputaram o Mundial, incluindo Marta, que encerrou sua trajetória com a Amarelinha na competição. As zagueiras Mônica e Rafaelle, a lateral Tamires e a meia Andressa Alves também devem ser consultadas.

Diante da possibilidade de desligamento do cargo, a treinadora sueca, que voltou para seu país natal após a eliminação brasileira no Mundial, enviou uma mensagem para Ednaldo pedindo para permanecer no cargo. A informação sobre esse contato foi divulgada inicialmente pelo ‘SporTV’ e confirmada pelo Lance!.

Pia Sundhage chegou à disputa da Copa do Mundo feminina prestigiada pelo elenco da Seleção Brasileira. No entanto, algumas tomadas de decisões durante a competição geraram discordância interna entre as jogadoras, fazendo com que a comandante ‘perdesse’ algumas atletas que tinha sob controle.

Ednaldo Rodrigues está ciente de que o clima de ‘lua de mel’ entre elenco e treinadora esfriou e, por isso, pretende conversar com as atletas. O presidente da CBF esteve bastante ativo acompanhando as atividades da Seleção Brasileira na Austrália e, inclusive, acompanhou a delegação da equipe nos dias de jogos. O homem forte da Confederação é um entusiasta do futebol feminino e pretende potencializar a categoria enquanto estiver no cargo.

Assim, sabendo da necessidade de conversas e avaliações, o mandatário da CBF não tem pressa para tomar a decisão. Ele pretende ‘curar a ressaca’ da campanha desanimadora no Mundial para ‘abrir as feridas’, tirar conclusões e chegar a definições distantes de qualquer emoção.

Middlesex had an unlikely chase of 80 in six overs after Essex reached 129 for 4 in the 13th

ECB Reporters Network13-Jun-2024

Jordan Cox was 31 not out from 19 when the rain curtailed Essex’s innings•Getty Images

Essex Eagles claimed their third successive Vitality Blast victory after overcoming Middlesex by 16 runs in their heavily rain-affected South Group game at Lord’s.The visitors reached 129 for 4 after 12.4 overs, with Jordan Cox unbeaten on 31 from 19 balls when a heavy downpour enveloped the ground.Middlesex’s target was revised to 143 from 12 overs – and subsequently 80 from six after another rain stoppage, but that unlikely equation proved beyond their reach.Despite a valiant effort by Max Holden, who hammered an undefeated 41 from 24, the home side fell short on 63 for two.After an initial 25-minute delay due to earlier showers, Adam Rossington immediately set about Middlesex’s bowling in the powerplay with two sizzling cover boundaries off Tom Helm.Rossington bludgeoned his way to 20 before slicing Noah Cornwell into the hands of deep third and the young left-armer, who took 2 for 29, also castled Michael Pepper (23 from 12), swinging across the line.Dean Elgar (28 from 17) was next to depart, with Luke Hollman taking a skier off his own bowling, but Cox looked assured straight away, dispatching his first ball for four with a classy straight drive.Although Ryan Higgins bowled Walter around his legs, pinpoint placement brought Cox successive boundaries off Blake Cullen and he also launched Hollman into the grandstand before rain returned, resulting in a delay of more than an hour.When the pitch covers were eventually removed, Holden and Stephen Eskinazi had barely taken guard when another heavy shower descended and the players left the field without a ball being bowled.The equation morphed into 80 from six overs when the game’s final instalment began and Eskinazi did his best to sustain Middlesex’s pursuit, hitting successive Shane Snater balls for four and six.However, Walter effectively settled the contest by capturing the wickets of Eskinazi and Higgins during his first over, which went for just four runs – and, although Holden kept the battle going, it was not enough.

West Bromwich Albion’s action-packed summer has been full of change so far.

Obviously, the first notable change occurred in the dug-out when Ryan Mason was finally unveiled as Tony Mowbray’s late successor, but more alterations have taken place since.

Centre-back titan Semi Ajayi has exited the Hawthorns for Hull City, on top of Grady Diangana reportedly looking as though he’s heading to Valencia in Spain.

Mason could instantly soften the blow of Ajayi departing the West Midlands by securing the signature of Nat Phillips, with reports now suggesting that the Liverpool colossus will move to West Brom permanently this summer.

Unfortunately, this is unlikely to be the only major loss Mason will have to stomach as the enthralling transfer window chugs along, with rumours already coming back to the surface that first-team star Tom Fellows might also be off.

Fellows' future at West Brom

It did feel as if it was going to be inevitable that any interest in Fellows would be reignited, with the England U21 international very firmly back on the radar of David Moyes’ Everton, as per a report by TEAMtalk last week.

The exciting attacker is just fresh off a breakout Championship season that saw him collect a jaw-dropping 14 assists in league action, on top of also powering home four strikes for his failed playoff-chasing outfit.

Therefore, it’s not a shock to see the Toffees chasing him, with Mason desperate to keep hold of him as he aims to guide the Baggies to promotion, especially as Josh Maja – who linked up with Fellows to devastating effect last season – edges closer to being back from injury.

But, Fellows might well feel he’s ready for the step-up to the Premier League now, as a reported price-tag of £10m begins to be circulated.

Whilst bolstering their centre-back numbers was a top priority in the wake of Ajayi upping and leaving, adding in more dynamic, creative attackers will be seen as more paramount if Fellows does exit.

West Brom's ideal Fellow replacement

According to a report by the Express and Star, West Brom could soon swoop in for AFC Bournemouth ace David Brooks on a loan basis, with Mason and Co just one of several Championship clubs keeping close tabs on the Welshman’s situation at the Cherries.

He might well come in, therefore, and be a necessary short-term option for the Baggies to get over their homegrown product’s departure.

Indeed, the 27-year-old’s last electric loan spell away from Bournemouth down in the EFL resulted in Southampton clinching promotion at the close of the 2023/24 season.

Fellows might well even attempt to follow in Brooks’ footsteps if a Premier League switch soon opens up for him, with the 27-year-old – away from firing home two strikes for the Saints during that campaign – first getting to grips with the senior game in the Championship with Sheffield United.

Rising through the ranks with the Blades, he scored three goals and supplied eight assists in South Yorkshire.

As a result, a bumper £11.5m to the South Coast occurred, and whilst he does have a healthy 11 goals and six assists next to his name too in the luxuries of the Premier League, it’s his productive numbers in the second tier overall that will be solely catching Mason’s eye.

In total, Brooks has a sterling collection of 11 goals and 16 assists at the challenging level, with that assist haul particularly eye-catching as West Brom aim to effectively replace Fellows’ creative flair.

Hailed as “sublime” by Eddie Howe during his early Bournemouth days, this is a signing that will be seen as a statement to the rest of the Championship.

Throw Phillips into the mix and West Brom might well be deemed as serious promotion candidates, irrespective of high-profile exits souring the mood.

The transfer window has swung back open, and Arsenal need to get to work.

Mikel Arteta’s side may have once again finished the season as the second-best team in the Premier League this year, but as things stand, they are getting left behind by their rivals in the market.

For example, Liverpool have secured the services of Florian Wirtz, Manchester City have signed Rayan Cherki and a host of other talents, and now Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur look ready to battle it out for Bryan Mbeumo.

Fortunately, recent reports suggest that the Gunners may well be fighting to sign a dynamic winger of their own, someone who could be their answer to Mbeumo next season.

Arsenal's winger search

With Arsenal producing the best defence in the league for the second year running, it’s no surprise that almost all transfer rumours around the club have been focused on strikers and wingers.

Regarding the latter, the North Londoners have already been linked with Real Madrid’s sensational Rodrygo for £84m and Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga for closer to £60m.

However, as things stand anyway, neither of those players feel like they are likely to move anytime soon, which can’t be said for Nico Williams.

Yes, according to a recent report from Spanish newspaper Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Arsenal remain intensely interested in the Athletic Bilbao star.

In fact, in an exciting development, the report claims that the Gunners ‘are bidding hard’ for the young Spaniard and that they are offering him a net salary of €9m a year, which comes out to around £7.67m and is more than either Bilbao or Barcelona can afford to offer.

Moreover, the story reaffirms prior reports that the club are willing to activate the winger’s €62m release clause, which converts to around £53m.

It’s going to be an incredibly costly and likely quite a complicated transfer to get over the line, but given Williams’ ability and potential, it’s one worth fighting for, especially as he’d be the perfect answer to whoever signs Mbeumo.

Why Williams would be a perfect answer to Mbeumo

Now, while Mbeumo is an undeniably talented winger and was one of the best attackers in the Premier League this season, there are a number of reasons why Williams would be a great answer for Arsenal.

The first and arguably most significant reason relates to the Spaniard’s underlying numbers from the last two campaigns, as when we compare them to the Bees ace, it becomes very clear that his ceiling is far higher.

Moreover, while the former Troyes ace does do better in some metrics, like progressive passes and aerial duels won per 90, he comes out a distant second in almost every other area and by quite some distance.

For example, the dynamic “level-raiser,” as dubbed by respected analyst Ben Mattinson, does far better in crucial metrics such as non-penalty goals plus assists, progressive carries, successful take-ons, shots and shots on target, key passes, shot and goal-creating actions and many, many more, all per 90.

Now, if the two wingers were the same age, then we’d still suggest that the Pamplona-born international would be the better signing, but given the fact he is three years younger than the Avallon-born ace, then there is no telling how much the gap will grow in a few years time.

Finally, on top of all of that, the 28-capped international has also proven he can perform in the most high-pressure moments, as he was the one who opened the scoring for Spain in last summer’s European Championship final.

Ultimately, Mbeumo is a great player and will likely do well wherever he ends up, but Williams looks to be the superior winger and, therefore, a perfect answer for Arsenal.

Everton are interested in signing another Liverpool player alongside Ben Doak in the summer transfer window, according to a fresh update.

Doak heads list of Everton winger targets

The Blues are reportedly interested in making a shock move for Reds winger Doak before next season gets underway, in a transfer that would cause plenty of controversy.

An update from Sky Sports suggested that Everton are one of the clubs who are interested in acquiring the services of the 19-year-old this summer, with the Scot seen as an attacking player with a big future in the game, spending the 2024/25 season on loan at Championship side Middlesbrough.

Liverpool have a big decision to make with Doak, with the young Scotland international someone who could potentially be an eventual successor to Mohamed Salah on the right wing, but also not quite mature enough to fully make the grade at Anfield just yet.

From an Everton perspective, the idea of the teenager heading to Bramley Moore Dock is certainly exciting, not only because they would be signing a great young talent, but also due to them snapping up a player from their nearest and biggest rivals. Now, another Reds player is also reportedly wanted by the Blues.

Everton keeping tabs on Gomez's situation

According to a new claim from Empire of the Kop, Everton are “keeping close tabs” on Liverpool defender Joe Gomez, as they eye a summer move for him alongside Doak. The Blues are one of eight Premier League teams who are believed to be in the mix to snap him up, including Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Leeds United.

The £85,000-a-week Gomez could be a really shrewd addition by Everton in the summer, although as is the case with Doak, it remains to be seen if Liverpool will be hesitant to sell to them.

The 28-year-old is now the Reds’ longest-serving current player, winning two Premier League titles and always proving to be an excellent squad player, with Jurgen Klopp a huge admirer.

“He is a lifesaver, to be honest, that he was here, that he could play. People forget how important Joey was in the best years we had. I don’t know how many games he played in the year when we became champions and how many games he played when we won the Champions League – a lot and rightly so because he’s a top-class player.”

That said, the England international may not want to risk tarnishing his Liverpool legacy by making a controversial switch, so a move elsewhere, or staying put at Anfield, feels more likely.

Celtic will enjoy a hard-earned summer break after a long season and are already in discussions over bringing a renowned star to Parkhead on a permanent basis.

Celtic end the season with defeat in the Scottish Cup final

Years of success at Hampden led many to believe that Celtic’s Scottish Cup final clash against Aberdeen was only going to go one way, but the Dons seized their opportunity to claim glory at the national stadium under Jimmy Thelin.

Two trophies, tangible success in the Champions League and coming a whisker away from winning a domestic treble is a good season by any stretch for the Hoops. Still, Brendan Rodgers will wonder what might’ve been if his side took their chances on Saturday afternoon.

One thing is for certain, Celtic will be active on the transfer front once the window opens. The Irishman confirmed his intent to bring in fresh blood after their Scottish Cup final defeat, insisting there is plenty of work to be done over the next few months.

He stated: “It’s no different to any summer. I think the result today doesn’t change anything, I spoke during the week and before the game. It doesn’t change anything.

“We know we need to strengthen areas on the field and see how the summer goes. I think for us, we want to strengthen. That’s what you aim to do every summer.”

According to Sky Sports, Celtic have held discussions with Jeffrey Schlupp over a permanent move now that his loan deal is at an end at Parkhead.

The £60,000-per-week earner is set to be available on a free transfer and when his Crystal Palace contract expires, though there is yet to be any indication of whether an extended stay in Glasgow could be on the cards.

Labelled “fantastic” by Oliver Glasner, the 32-year-old has become a useful rotation option alongside Greg Taylor at left-back, but his current wages may prove to be a stumbling block given his likely status as deputy to Kieran Tierney next term.

Reports state that if neither Schlupp nor Taylor agree to stick around, the Bhoys will venture into the market to provide further competition in that area of the field.

There is clearly a desire from Celtic to tie up the experienced campaigner on a permanent basis. However, his age would make him a stop-gap signing rather than a long-term solution at left-back.
