Anunciado pelo presidente Julio Casares na última semana, o zagueiro argentino Alan Franco foi apresentado oficialmente como novo jogador do São Paulo na manhã desta quarta-feira (11), no CT da Barra Funda, pelo mesmo dirigente.

Chamou a atenção o fato de Franco ser apresentado com a camisa 28. O número foi usado na última temporada pelo meia André Anderson, jogador emprestado pela Lazio, da Itália, até o meio deste ano e que está fora dos treinos atualmente por conta de uma pubalgia.

Sem empolgar torcida e o técnico Rogério Ceni, que pediu sua contratação, Anderson foi colocado várias vezes na lista de prováveis atletas que poderiam deixar o Morumbi neste ano.

O Tricolor chegou a abrir negociações para repassar o contrato restante de empréstimo com os italianos para o rival Santos, onde Anderson foi revelado, mas a nova contusão atrapalhou os planos da diretoria.

Pubalgia é uma doença que afeta os tendões do músculo reto abdominal e adutores, assim como a articulação da sínfise púbica, que fica na parte da frente da bacia.A causa da pubalgia é muito controversa, mas parece ligada a um desbalanço da musculatura do reto abdominal e adutores. Anderson ficou afastado de 24 partidas na temporada passada pela mesma contusão. O clube do Morumbi ainda não revelou qual o novo número de camisa a ser usado por Anderson. Isso, claro, se ele permanecer de fato para os seis meses restantes de empréstimo.

Conforme o LANCE! revelou, Franco chega ao Morumbi após pagamento de aproximadamente R$ 13 milhões, o que o torna o investimento mais alto feito pelo clube nesta janela de transferências.

O argentino estava no Atlanta United, dos EUA, e chegou à capital paulista já na noite de quarta-feira (4). O negócio foi sacramentado durante a tarde, após reunião de Casares com parte do estafe do zagueiro. Inicialmente, o clube estadunidense aceitou a proposta de empréstimo por um ano com opção de compra e valor fixado. Mas os dirigentes do Morumbi acreditam no potencial de revenda e decidiram abrir os cofres. Isso aliado à disposição do zagueiro em acertar um contrato longo com o Tricolor.

Franco estava no radar são-paulino desde a passagem de Hernán Crespo pelo clube. Foi ele quem o indicou inicialmente. E o departamento de análise aprovou o investimento.

O LANCE! apurou que o jogador pediu para ser negociado no decorrer da última temporada, frustrado com a pouca visibilidade que a MLS (Major League Soccer) lhe oferecia para chamar a atenção dos europeus ou da seleção argentina. Foi mais um quesito que motivou o Tricolor a buscar o negócio em definitivo no lugar de um empréstimo.

As bases salariais do argentino são mantidas em sigilo, mas a reportagem descobriu que há cláusulas que possibilitam a renovação automática por pelo mais um ano em caso de cumprimento de metas.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Elliott, who struggled for game time at Anfield under Arne Slot in the 2024-25 campaign, wants to revive his career elsewhere, although Liverpool will only consider selling him if they receive an offer of £40 million ($66m) plus a buy-back option, or above £50m without one. Leipzig see the 22-year-old as a direct replacement for Simons, who is expected to leave the club before the summer transfer window closes.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  It is widely known that Simons wishes to move on this summer. He is the subject of strong interest from Chelsea, who are pursuing an agreement with Leipzig.

  WHAT NEXT

  Liverpool have wrapped up their pre-season preparations and will take on Crystal Palace in the Community Shield on Sunday, while Chelsea will play two friendlies before kicking off the Premier League campaign at home to the Eagles. Leipzig, meanwhile, will hope to have a clearer picture of their squad by the time they face Sandhausen in the German Cup on August 16.

Olly Stone pushed his claims for an England recall with his best Championship bowling figures in four years as Nottinghamshire and Hampshire reached the halfway stage of their Vitality County Championship match almost on level terms.Stone took four for 62 with new-ball partner Dillon Pennington backing him up with three for 70, yet after slipping to 77 for five with Tom Prest unable to bat after suffering an injury in the field, Hampshire rebuilt around a sixth-wicket stand of 157 between all-rounder Liam Dawson (95) and veteran seamer Keith Barker (74) to claim a first-innings lead of 41 at 276 all out.Nottinghamshire suffered a setback when skipper Haseeb Hameed was out to the second ball of their second innings but ended day two on 33 for one, just eight runs in arrears.Earlier, Nottinghamshire all-rounder Lyndon James had turned his overnight 92 into a first century of the season, finishing unbeaten on 106 as the home side were bowled out for 235.If he can stay fit, Stone’s express pace would make him an attractive proposition as England look for a bowling reset with James Anderson about to follow Stuart Broad into retirement.He last represented his country in two one-day internationals in South Africa at the start of last year but spent much of the 2023 domestic season sidelined by persistent hamstring problems, another frustrating episode in a career repeatedly hampered by injuries.Nine down for 212 overnight, Nottinghamshire’s first innings limped on just long enough to fulfil the objective of seeing James safely across the line. The 25-year-old, a genuine home-grown talent, was looking for his first hundred since hitting three in his breakthrough season in 2022.Last-wicket partner Dane Paterson almost denied him, chancing a single that may well have seen him run out on 95 had Fletcha Middleton’s throw hit the stumps with James still scrambling to make his ground.The moment was forgotten, though, when Kyle Abbott offered up virtually a wide long-hop in the next over and James had the reach to smash it to the off-side boundary for his ninth four, making sure his five and a quarter hours at the crease were not expended on a mere ninety-something.A fulsome swing of the bat then saw Paterson caught behind as Nottinghamshire were bowled out for 235.Stone needed only three balls to make his first impact of the day, finding the edge of Ali Orr’s defensive bat as Hampshire went a wicket down for no runs.Their innings almost mirrored the pattern of Nottinghamshire’s with half their wickets falling cheaply. Felix Organ, dropped off Stone at third slip on three, had added only two more Stone found the edge again and Calvin Harrison made a fine grab at second slip.By lunch, Hampshire were 61 for three as skipper James Vince, having taken advantage of Pennington’s struggle to find his early rhythm by hitting four boundaries in one over, got himself slightly squared up against Paterson and was caught behind.Middleton fell two overs after lunch with no addition, gloving a catch to Clark as he tried to evade a short delivery from Pennington, after which Stone returned to claim his third wicket as Ben Brown nudged one to third slip, leaving Hampshire five down for 77, still 158 behind.Yet thereafter the afternoon turned into a tale of frustration for the home side. After surviving what remained of Stone’s second impressive spell of the day, Dawson and Barker became more expansive, Barker riding his luck on several occasions as the ball flew in unpredictable directions off different parts of the bat.Barker took full advantage of his good fortune, twice whipping Pennington for sixes over the midwicket boundary and twice reverse sweeping Harrison’s leg-spin for four before Dawson, who had been circumspect initially, went after James with three boundaries in the same over.The pair were parted soon after tea when Stone returned for a third spell, the England bowler angling one in from wide on the crease that beat Barker for pace, knocking back his off stump.James Fuller helped Dawson add another 36 before an uppercut off Pennington looped to sub fielder James Hayes at wide third man, after which the innings ended relatively quickly in the absence of Prest, with Abbott leg before to Harrison and Dawson departing with a near carbon copy of Fuller’s shot as Pennington picked up his third.Hameed was a second-ball casualty as Nottinghamshire began their second innings, edging a rashly extravagant drive to third slip off Barker, before Will Young and Ben Slater safely negotiated what remained of the 15 overs before the close.

He has not been granted a US visa to take part in the tournament

ESPNcricinfo staff30-May-2024Nepal legspinner Sandeep Lamichhane will miss the T20 World Cup 2024 after his visa application to the USA was rejected for a second time.His initial application was turned down last week, following which the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) and the Nepal government intervened on his behalf, but despite their efforts he was turned down again.”Despite taking necessary initiatives, along with the diplomatic note, from the government of Nepal, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Youth and Sports, National Sports Council, CAN and International Cricket Council (ICC) for cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane’s visit to participate in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the United States and West Indies, the US Embassy has expressed its inability to give travel permission (visa) to national player Lamichhane to play the World Cup,” CAN said in a statement.The board said it remains committed though to helping Lamichhane secure a visa for future travel to the US.Related

He was immediately suspended by CAN. After a trial in January 2024, he was found guilty only to be acquitted on appeal by the Patan High Court in May, because of “a lack of evidence”. CAN allowed him to resume playing cricket with immediate effect.The T20 World Cup this year will be co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies.

علق محمود عبد الرازق شيكابالا، لاعب الزمالك المعتزل، على هيكلة الفريق الجديدة، بعد تعيين جون إدوارد مديرًا رياضيًا للنادي.

وقال شيكابالا، في تصريحات لبرنامج “الكورة مع فايق”، على قناة “إم بي سي مصر”: “هيكلة الزمالك الجديدة؟ أنا كنت في الفريق وكان كل شيء يحدث يتم تسريبه، لكن الميزة الآن إن لا شيء يخرج من الفريق سواء كان هناك مشاكل أو لا، النظام لم يكن موجودًا من قبل”.

وعن انتقادات لاعبي الزمالك القدامى، أجاب: “محبة الزمالك في كل وقت، طالما هناك تجربة تحدث لا بد أن تكون خلفها وليس من البداية تبدأ تنتقدها”.

وتابع: “هناك أشخاص مرتبطون باسم الزمالك حتى لو كان لديهم مشكلة مع المجلس، يهاجمون وكل شخص لديه أجندة يقدمها، أنت لا تحب الزمالك ولا يصح أن تحسب علينا”.

وكشف: “الموسم الماضي الفريق كان ينقصه لاعبين كثيرين، هذا الموسم انضم لاعبين كنا نحتاج إليهم، كنت أرى أن الفريق يحتاج ظهير أيمن بجانب عمر جابر، والزمالك في طريقه لضم لاعب صغير السن في هذا المركز لإراحة عمر”.

وبسؤاله هل مصطفى شلبي تعرض للظُلم، أجاب: “الطريقة التي انضم بها ظلمته، لأن رئيس نادي إنبي قال إن رغبة اللاعب هي الانضمام للأهلي، وهذا جعل الجمهور يأخذ موقفًا من اللاعب، والمفترض إن رئيس النادي يحافظ على اللاعب، لذلك (دخلة اللاعب كانت سيئة على الجمهور) وكان الجمهور ينتقده ولكن اللاعب لم يرد، وهو لاعب جيد جدًا”.

وواصل: “لو كنت مديرًا فنيًا لأبقيت عليه في الفريق لأنه لم يظهر 10% من مستواه في الزمالك، كان يحتاج التعامل النفسي فقط، مع البنك الأهلي الآن يُقدم مستوى كبيرًا، وكان يجب وجود اثنين في مركز الجناح بعد رحيل زيزو، خوان ألفينا لاعب جيد أعطيه 10 من 10، ظهر من لمسته للكرة إنه لاعب كبير”.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has called on the Premier League to reach a verdict on Manchester City's 115 charges "for the good of the game".

Spurs chairman calls for verdictInvestigation has dragged for yearsUnclear when verdict is comingFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

In an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap, Levy has called on the Premier League to finally reach a verdict on the 115 charges Manchester City are facing. The club were charged with breaches of the league's financial rules in 2023 and a hearing was held from September to December of last year, but a verdict has yet to be announced. It could be announced this year, but the exact timing is unclear.

While Levy admits it would be "unfair" of him to weigh in on another club's business, he pointedly referenced the amount of time the Premier League is spending on the case. City are, of course, part of the City Football Group and belong to a stable of clubs owned by the same group, something Levy believes is a "concern". 

WHAT LEVY SAID

Levy said, in relation to City: "The process has gone on for far too long and needs to brought, for the good of the game, to conclusion."

On multi-club ownership, he added: “That’s one of the areas that has to be controlled; if you end up having clubs owned by states, I have no issue with that in principle but they can do deals with themselves and that puts them at a very competitive advantage compared to everybody else.

“That’s an area of concern.”

A época das contratações é uma das mais aguardadas pelos torcedores, mas para quem torce pelo Palmeiras esta janela tem sido um grande marasmo. Sem reforços até aqui, o clube tem apostado nos jovens da base que estão subindo para o profissional. Apesar das reclamações de parte da torcida alviverde e das críticas de parte da imprensa, o Verdão mostra convicção em seu projeto de olhar para o futuro e não buscar resultados midiáticos a qualquer custo como outros times fazem.

Primeiramente, é preciso entender que a vida real não é videogame, então aquele torcedor que pensa que basta apertar dois botões para fechar uma contratação, necessita de um banho urgente de realidade. Assim como aquele que acha que os R$ 400 milhões da venda de Endrick permitem que o clube faça compras galácticas de forma imediata via PIX. Acordem, esqueçam o Fifa/PES.

Outra questão lamentável desses pensamentos é descartar dessa equação a participação da comissão técnica de Abel Ferreira. Alguém acredita que o treinador português está fora dessas decisões? Não, não está. E ele deixou isso claro em diversas coletivas em 2022: o clube não faria várias contratações. Talvez nem contratasse. O foco seria investir nos talentos da base.

Embora seja possível reconhecer que o elenco carece de peças de reposição para determinadas posições, principalmente para suprir a saída de Gustavo Scarpa, não dá para considerar que a condição atual é de terra arrasada. O time segue fortíssimo e comandado por aquele que é o melhor treinador do futebol brasileiro nas últimas duas ou três temporadas. Será que não vale apostar?

Além disso, é preciso entender que chegar até aqui é um projeto do clube, muito antes de Leila Pereira entrar como patrocinadora e na vida política palmeirense. Paulo Nobre, lá atrás, por volta de 2013, já queria estruturar a base de modo a transformá-la na principal fonte de “reforços” para a equipe profissional. Depois de dez anos, parece que o Verdão chegou nesse patamar desejado.

Os títulos vieram, o dinheiro com premiações vem aumentando ano após ano, a base do time principal está montada há algumas temporadas e a comissão técnica é de altíssima qualidade. Cenário perfeito para que a excelência da base do Palmeiras possa ser utilizada da forma que Paulo Nobre planejou. São taças conquistadas, atletas formados aos montes, vendas concretizadas e um nível de peças oferecidas que permite ao clube optar por promover um Jhon Jhon do que pagar no mercado por alguém menos qualificado, mas que tem um nome “maior” do que o garoto.

Atualmente, o Palmeiras tem dois motivos para despejar sua fortuna em contratações: uma oportunidade de mercado por um jogador incontestável que chegue para jogar, ou reforçar o elenco para fins midiáticos, fazendo um uma loucura ou outra para fazer média com a torcida. Por tudo o que tem acontecido nos últimos anos, fica bastante claro que o Verdão não precisa repetir a fórmula de certos rivais. A opção é contratar se realmente valer a pena, caso contrário vai de base.

Slender prospect of result thwarted by Glamorgan’s go-slow second innings

ECB Reporters Network27-May-2024

Leicestershire remain the only side in either division of the Vitality County Championship to neither win a match nor suffer a defeat after their match with Glamorgan at the Uptonsteel County Ground ended in an almost inevitable stalemate, with Glamorgan 157 for four in their second innings, 201 runs in front with Sam Northeast 41 not out.No team has been promoted with fewer than five wins since the two-division system was introduced in 2000, yet after seven of the 14 fixtures in this season’s competition Leicestershire’s unbeaten record has been enough to keep them in third place in the Division Two table, despite a zero in their wins column.The wet spring has led to a scarcity of positive results across the board and rain took its toll on this match, too, particularly on day three, although periods of stultifyingly low scoring on a slow pitch did not help. Five wickets each for Glamorgan’s Timm van der Gugten and Leicestershire’s Scott Currie and a century for Currie’s team-mate Peter Handscomb were the highlights.Glamorgan’s overnight lead of 58 with one wicket down did not look a particularly promising starting point if the match was to end in any result other than a draw and the slow progress of the opening hour did nothing to alter that perception.After a long wait for the day’s first boundary, extended by a 20-minute interruption while a shower passed through, Marnus Labuschagne began to get things moving but a couple of wickets before lunch provided a semblance of encouragement for Leicestershire, whose ambition at this stage was to bowl Glamorgan out and hope there was still time to overhaul whatever lead they had managed to chisel out.Scott Currie, Leicestershire’s stand-out bowler in this match, picked up a wicket that looked a tad fortunate as Eddie Byrom was given out leg before but there was no good fortune about Ben Mike’s dismissal of Labuschagne, however, the right-armer bowling the Australian with his second ball, one that nipped back to pass between bat and pad and hit just below the top of off stump.Two overs after lunch, Mike removed Kiran Carlson too, the batter perhaps still mindful of the painful effects of being struck in the lower abdomen moments before when he went back in his crease to a delivery that also came back, this time hitting middle. At that point, Glamorgan were effectively 135 for four, with 62 overs left in the day.It opened up a small window of opportunity for the home side, although it had to be borne in mind that they were one seamer short with Tom Scriven injured on day one had no front line spinner anyway, and when Chris Cooke and Sam Northeast guided Glamorgan to 132 for four when more rain arrived before just before three o’clock, a lead of 176.Cooke and Northeast extended their partnership to 66 when play resumed after an early tea, at which point more gathering rain clouds and the very rare sighting of Australian opener Marcus Harris bowling in a first-class match signalled the direction in which the contest was drifting.Harris had bowled only 16 overs in his 13-year career and was left on 99 balls delivered in first-class cricket – still looking for his maiden wicket – when the skies opened again.The 31-year-old Western Australian can claim, though, that he always bowls against Glamorgan, having sent down one over against them last year for Gloucestershire, his only other over to date in the County Championship in his only other appearance against the Welsh county.
