Pela quinta vez consecutiva o Internacional levantou a taça do Campeonato Gaúcho Sub-20. Nesta edição, o Colorado bateu o Grêmio na grande decisão, algo que não acontecia desde 2018. O título veio após um empate por 1 a 1 no primeiro jogo e uma vitória por 2 a 1 conquistada nos últimos minutos no CT Alvorada.

A conquista representou a solidificação de uma geração vencedora de Alvorada, que já havia conquistado o estadual, o Brasileiro e a Supercopa do Brasil da categoria no ano passado.

– Esse título representa muito, porque é sempre bom ser campeão e ainda mais em cima do rival dentro da nossa casa, isso só mostra que o grupo batalhou muito. Quando você veste a camisa do Internacional você está representando todos os torcedores Colorados e dentro de campo nós temos que dar a vida e sempre buscar a vitória, porque isso é Inter – disse Matheus Dias, autor do gol da vitória.

Promovido ao elenco profissional no início do ano, o volante tem se especializado em marcar gols decisivos. Além do tento do último sábado, foi dele o gol de empate na partida de ida e, em 2021, o camisa oito balançou as redes na grande decisão do Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20, no empate em 1 a 1 contra o São Paulo, no Morumbi.

– Eu sempre tento aproveitar as chances que eu tenho e o gol é consequência, fico muito feliz por marcar em jogos decisivos e procuro estar sempre concentrado no que estou fazendo, independente do jogo que seja. Quando eu chutei, percebi que pegou na veia e já sabia que ela ia entrar, depois disso foi só emoção, porque por duas noites seguidas eu sonhei que ia fazer o gol na final e amigos meus também disseram que sonharam com isso, então eu sabia que tinha algo especial reservado pra mim – revelou.

Pela equipe profissional, o camisa oito atuou em apenas uma partida, no empate sem gols diante do São Luiz, pela terceira rodada do Campeonato Gaúcho. Nesta temporada pelo sub-20, foram 17 partidas e cinco gols marcados, sendo três deles em jogos de mata-mata.

A tendência é de que Matheus Dias siga treinando com o grupo principal e reforce o elenco sub-20 na disputa da Copa do Brasil da categoria, que deve começar ainda neste mês.

Crushing 81-run defeat all but ends visitors’ play-off hopes as Originals cement berth

ECB Reporters Network20-Aug-2023

Manchester Originals 164 for 6 (Buttler 75) beat Northern Superchargers 83 (Harrison 5-11) by 81 runsCalvin Harrison took five wickets for 11 runs as the Manchester Originals bolstered their attempt to reach the knockout stages of the Men’s Hundred with a 81-run annihilation of the Northern Superchargers at Emirates Old Trafford.Needing 165 to exact some revenge for last week’s defeat at Headingley, the Superchargers’ batsmen had a dreadful day and were dismissed for 83, a performance in sharp contrast to that of the Originals, for whom Jos Buttler made a 47-ball 75 in their 164 for six.If London Spirit beat Welsh Fire this evening, the Leeds-based side are eliminated from this year’s competition but their chances are gossamer-thin in any case.After a relatively sedate start – only 29 runs coming from the first 20 balls – Buttler took 14 off Brydon Carse’s first set of five and the opening pair had taken their stand to 72 off 41 balls before Salt, who had been dropped by Wayne Parnell on 18, was caught at long-off by David Wiese off Adil Rashid for 28.Five balls later Wiese took a second catch when Laurie Evans slapped Callum Parkinson down the ground and departed for just seven but that was the signal for Buttler and Paul Walter to launch a selective onslaught on the Superchargers bowling.Both batters hit sixes off Matt Short’s second set and the Originals were well placed for further mayhem on 128 for two after 75 balls. That was initially prevented when Walter was stumped by Tom Banton off Rashid for 28, thus ending his 48-run stand for the third wicket with Buttler.The Originals’ skipper reached his fifty off 35 balls but having made 75 with six fours and three sixes, Buttler was eventually caught at deep midwicket by Harry Brook off Rashid, who almost immediately collected his fourth wicket when Jamie Overton was caught by Carse at long-off for two.The home side’s hundred balls ended with what seemed an eminently defendable total on the board given the turning pitch. Rashid finished with four for 18 from his 20 balls.The Superchargers’ pursuit began poorly when Adam Lyth, having made just one, drove Overton’s seventh ball of the innings straight to Paul Walter at mid-off.Tom Hartley then struck with his second ball when Tom Banton reverse-swept him to point, where Harrison took a superb two-handed catch above his head. Adam Hose was then caught down the leg side by Buttler off Josh Tongue for a six-ball 15 and the visitors’ problems deepened when Matt Short was stumped off Harrison for 11.Harry Brook was joined by his skipper Parnell with the score on 37 for four but things got worse when the Superchargers’ last specialist batsman, Harry Brook was bowled for two by a superb ball from Hartley which pitched on middle and leg and hit middle and off.Parnell was caught at backward point by Zaman off Harrison for 11 and the same bowler accounted for Wiese, Carse and Parkinson in the space of nine balls to finish with five for 11 from his 20 balls.

وبحسب صحيفة “عكاظ” السعودية، فإن مصدر مسؤول بنادي كومو الإيطالي، نفى الشائعات المتعلقة برغبة النادي في التعاقد مع كريستيانو رونالدو.

ونقلت الصحيفة تصريحات المصدر: “التعاقد مع رونالدو؟ لا، هذا غير ممكن تمامًا، من أين سندفع راتب بنحو 400 مليون يورو له! نحن لا نضيع وقتنا في أفكار غير قابلة للتحقق”.

يذكر أن النصر جدد تعاقده مع رونالدو، نهاية الشهر الماضي، حتى 2027، في إطار مساعي النادي لاستعادة التوهج والعودة إلى منصات التتويج.

وتُوج النجم البرتغالي، هذا الأسبوع، بجائزة أفضل لاعب في الدوري السعودي (دوري روشن) لموسم 2024-2025.

وأعلنت الحسابات الرسمية للدوري السعودي على منصات التواصل الاجتماعي أن رونالدو فاز بجائزة أفضل لاعب في الموسم بناءً على تصويت الجمهور، بعد أن حصل على جائزة رجل المباراة في 15 مناسبة خلال الموسم.

وتصدر رونالدو قائمة هدافي الدوري السعودي في الموسم الماضي برصيد 25 هدفاً، متفوقاً بهدفين عن أقرب منافسيه إيفان توني، لاعب الأهلي، الذي حل في المركز الثاني، بجانب تقديمه 3 تمريرات حاسمة.

Ela passou por três marcadoras e invadiu a área e toca para Ana Carla, que ajeitou e deixou para Cristiane abrir o placar. A artilheira com o gol aberto, só teve o trabalho de empurrar para o fundo do gol.

Cinco minutos depois, Bia Menezes levou pela esquerda e cruzou na área para Cristiane, que cabeceou com perigo e a bola passou perto da trave esquerda da goleira.

Na sequencia, Fernanda teve boa oportunidade, e dessa vez, não desperdiçou. Após bola levantada na área, ela pegou o rebote pela esquerda, dribla a marcadora e bateu colocado no ângulo direito. Um lindo gol da camisa 32.

Aos 24 minutos, em jogada pela esquerda, Bia Menezes cruza e Fernanda quase marca o terceiro. O Peixe continuou pressionando, e um minuto depois, Brena acertou um lindo passe de três dedos ainda no meio campo, e encontrou Ana Carla livre dentro da área, e de primeira, bate para fazer o terceiro das Sereias.

Em nova jogada pela esquerda, Fernanda recebe mais uma vez de frente para o gol e arrisca o chute, e a bola passa por cima do gol.

Já no segundo tempo, aos 18 minutos, Ketlen fez linda jogada pelo lado esquerda, dribla a marcação e cruza na área. Cristiane faz o corta luz e deixa para Thaisinha, que chega batendo, mas manda para fora.

Aos 26 minutos, Fernanda carregou pela direita, e toou para Erikinha que invade a área e cruza para Cristiane. A centroavante domina e tenta escorar para o gol, mas a marcação bloqueia o chute.

As Sereias continuaram em cima buscando mais gols, e aos 35 minutos, Ketlen balançou as redes, mas a arbitragem invalidou. Na sequencia, Erikinha recebeu já dentro da área e chuta no canto esquerdo e a bola passa muito perto da trave.

Dois minutos depois, a Portuguesa saiu errado, Erikinha briga pela bola e conseguiu deixar para Cristiane. Ainda fora da área, ela se aproxima e bate forte para estufar as redes, sem chances para a goleira. Mais um lindo gol na Arena Barueri.

E aos 45 minutos, foi a vez de Ketlen, a maior artilheira da história do futebol feminino do Peixe balançar as redes. Ela recebeu cruzamento pela direita de Júlia e escorou de carrinho, a bola bate no travessão e voltou para ela, que manda para o fundo do gol.

Allrounder still nursing a sore hip; England could look to play Reece Topley against Bangladesh

Matt Roller09-Oct-2023

Ben Stokes is highly unlikely to play England’s second World Cup game, against Bangladesh, in Dharamsala on Tuesday as he continues to nurse a sore left hip.Stokes came out of ODI retirement to make himself available as a specialist batter for the World Cup, despite his chronic left-knee injury. But he missed their heavy defeat to New Zealand in Ahmedabad last week and has not played a competitive game since hitting 182 – England’s highest ODI score – against New Zealand, nearly a month ago.He has batted in the nets twice since England arrived in Dharamsala, moving much more freely when he faced spinners on Monday morning than he did when batting against sidearm throws on Sunday afternoon. But he is a major doubt for Tuesday’s game, with England’s fixture against Afghanistan in Delhi on Sunday framing as a potential comeback.Jos Buttler, England’s captain, told the BBC that Stokes was “progressing well… he is doing more and more each day and seems to be improving, so it is good signs.” But he clarified at his pre-match press conference: “It’s good to see him back in the nets and building back towards full fitness, but he’s probably unlikely for tomorrow.”Stokes had initially planned to spend these two months resting his knee but confirmed in August that he had changed his mind. “The words ‘World Cup’ are pretty inspiring,” he said. “The idea of going in and potentially being able to win back-to-back World Cups was one of the big things.”In Stokes’ absence, Harry Brook filled in at No. 4 against New Zealand, scoring 25 off 15 balls before holing out to deep midwicket as he attempted to hit Rachin Ravindra for a fourth successive boundary. He is likely to continue in the same role on Tuesday, and will be tested by Bangladesh’s spinners.Tuesday’s match will be played on a fresh pitch, two strips over from the unusually slow surface on which Bangladesh beat Afghanistan on Saturday. England will consider bringing an extra seamer into their side, with Reece Topley the most likely candidate, potentially at the expense of Moeen Ali.”It’s definitely an option,” Buttler said, when asked about the possibility of picking an extra seamer. “I played here in the IPL just gone, and there can be some good pace and bounce in the wicket. So certainly, we’ll have those discussions and we’ve got fantastic options within the squad to pick different line-ups with a different balance. It’s something we’ll consider.”

وجه أحمد حسن، نجم الكرة المصرية السابق، نصيحة لـ أحمد فتوح لاعب الزمالك الحالي، على خلفية ترك المعسكر وظهوره في إحدى الحفلات، إلى جانب تغريمه مليون جنيه.

وقال أحمد حسن في تصريحات عبر قناة “دي إم سي”: “نصيحة لفتوح أقول له إن لاعب كرة القدم تحديدًا لا يمكنه أن يأخذ كل شيء؛ شهرة وأموال وسهر وسفر، لاعب الكرة يجب أن يكون ملتزمًا ومنضبطًا، فرأس ماله هو صحته والتزامه وأدائه، عندما تحصل على إجازة، افعل ما تريد، لكن بمجرد دخولك المعسكر، لا بد أن تلتزم وتنضبط”.

وواصل: “أنت لست أفضل من عبد الله السعيد، فالالتزام هو أساس حياة لاعب كرة القدم، نصيحتي لك لن تأخذ كل شيء، لا بد أن تحرم نفسك، هذه الحفلة لن تُسعدك، ستفرح فقط عندما تحقق نجاحات لك ولزملائك”.

واستكمل: “كرة القدم بها الكثير من الحرمان، نحن لعبنا وتعبنا، وكنّا نُحرم من الإجازات، هذا الموسم كانت لديكم فرصة وحصلتم على إجازة، لكن الغريب أن تترك معسكر الفريق وتسافر 4 ساعات فقط لتحضر حفلة”.

وأردف: “حياة لاعب الكرة في الملعب قصيرة؛ قد تعتزل وأنت في الخامسة والثلاثين من عمرك، وهذا عمر لا يزال فيه كثير من الناس يبحثون عن بداية حياتهم وتأسيس بيوتهم، وستكون حينها ما زلت شابًا، ولن يفوتك شيئًا”.

واستمر: “الله ستر معك في مواقف كثيرة، لكن في وقت من الأوقات، يُسلّط الله على الإنسان نفسه، لقد مررت بأكثر من موقف وخرجت منه بسلام، وهذه كانت إشارات، حياتك كلاعب كرة قدم يجب أن تكون مليئة بالالتزام والانضباط، لقد تعرضت لمواقف صعبة، وكان الله إلى جانبك، فمتى تقف أنت بجانب نفسك وناديك؟”.

واختتم: “ماذا استفدت من حضورك الحفلة؟ ما الفائدة من أن تُورّط الإدارة والجهاز الفني بأن تقول لهم إن عمك مريض، وتستأذن، فيعلنون ذلك، ثم تضعهم في موقف حرج؟ من قال لك إنك إذا ذهبت إلى الحفلة لن يعرفك أحد؟ أنت تؤذي حتى الجماهير، نادي الزمالك يمرّ بظروف صعبة، وتصرفك هذا يؤذيك ويؤذي زملاءك”.

Sri Lanka’s seamers did plenty of early damage, and in the chase Sadeera Samarawickrama made sure he coolly got the job done

Madushka Balasuriya21-Oct-2023

An unbeaten 91 from Sadeera Samarawickrama shepherded home a tricky chase as Sri Lanka overcame a resilient Dutch outfit and finally got points on the board. The result means Sri Lanka join Afghanistan, Netherlands, Bangladesh and England on two points after four games; they did however go past Afghanistan on net run rate – before England plummeted later in the evening – to move off the very bottom of the table.*Set a target of 263, the chase was built around key partnerships – the first a counter-attacking 30-ball 34 between Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka, to recover from the early loss of Kusal Perera, followed by more substantial stands of 52, 77 and 76 – with Samarawickrama a key cog throughout.Related

Teja Nidamanuru hopes World Cup success paves way for more bilaterals

On a surface that offered something for the spinners, Aryan Dutt was the pick of the Dutch bowlers ending with figures of 3 for 44, while for Sri Lanka it was the seamers – utilising some early movement – that did the damage; Kasun Rajitha and Dilshan Madushanka both grabbed four apiece.That the Dutch even got as much as they did was down to a record seventh-wicket stand of 130 between Sybrand Engelbrecht and Logan van Beek, which had dug them out of the considerable hole they found themselves in courtesy Sri Lanka’s seamers.Indeed, for the second game running the Netherlands lower order were called in for a rescue job and for the second game running they delivered. And this time it was arguably more impressive than the one against South Africa, as they managed it without any significant input from talismanic captain Scott Edwards, who had dragged one on from Maheesh Theekshana early in his innings.At that point Sri Lanka might have felt the danger man was back in the pavilion, but Engelbrecht and van Beek took centre stage as they took their side from 91 for 6 to 221 for 7.Engelbrecht eventually fell looking to play a premeditated, though probably ill-advised, paddle against a Dilshan Madushanka yorker that homed in on the base of middle stump, but van Beek hung around for a while longer to take the total to a competitive if not matchwinning 262.But in between the wickets of Edwards and Engelbrecht was where Netherlands showcased a masterclass in rebuilding and consolidation.With scarcely any margin for error after early bursts from Kasun Rajitha and Madushanka had removed their top order, Engelbrecht and van Beek were content to keep risks to an absolute minimum. Between the 10th and 30th over not a single boundary was scored, while the run rate hovered around four an over.Even when they sought to up the scoring it was incremental rather than explosive, with boundaries never paired in a single over, instead spread out between overs that were largely littered with ones and twos.Indeed following the scale of the top order collapse, for the Dutch batting out the full 50 overs was the primary goal, with the end total a byproduct of that singular focus. Even so, getting to as competitive a total as they did was no mean feat considering the malaise they had found themselves in with less than half the innings played.Dilshan Madushanka ended the big seventh-wicket stand•AFP/Getty Images

The trouble began in the fourth over, when Rajitha trapped Vikramjit Singh leg before with one that pitched on middle and tailed in. It was the first ball Rajitha had bowled to the left-hander, but the wicket itself was a just reward for the nagging lines and lengths both he and Madushanka had exploited in the early overs.Despite this early loss though, the pair of Max O’Dowd and Colin Ackermann looked to be working their way into the game with a stand of 41 before Rajitha struck for a second time, as O’Dowd dragged a full and wide outswinger onto his stumps. Two overs later Rajitha would have his third, with Ackermann nicking through a loose cut.Suddenly the Dutch were on the ropes, as the scoring slowed down to a crawl. Kusal Mendis decided to press home the advantage at this point keeping Rajitha for an extended seven-over opening spell and delaying the introduction of Theekshana until the 16th over.After a couple of Chamika Karunaratne overs had afforded Madushanka a rest, the left-arm seamer was brought back in the 17th and would strike almost immediately, as de Leede ramped a short one to Kusal Perera at third man. Then in his next over he would have half the Netherlands side back in the pavilion, trapping Teja Nidamanuru leg before on referral.Edwards in his brief stay was his industrious self picking up five twos in a run-a-ball 16 but Theekshana sent him packing. Sri Lanka would have no more joy after that until the death, but by then Netherlands had done enough to make a game of it.Samarawickrama played the crucial hand in the chase to ensure Sri Lanka did not fall apart as they had so devastatingly done against Australia. Entering at the fall of Mendis’s wicket – the Sri Lankan captain falling foul of Dutt with a top edged slog sweep – Sadeera and Nissanka set about in a controlled pursuit.Nissanka fell after picking up his third successive fifty, but Sadeera continued in the same vein with Charith Asalanka. And when Asalanka fell, going for an unnecessary slog sweep in Dutt’s final over, Sadeera repeated the feat with another solid stand alongside Dhananjaya de Silva.Dhananjaya would perish with single digits required, but by then the game was done. Dushan Hemantha heaved a four over long-on to register the winning runs and kickstart Sri Lanka’s campaign.
