Sintonia perfeita: Cano e Jhon Arias já participaram de quase 60% dos gols do Fluminense na temporada

MatériaMais Notícias

da bet7: Com uma campanha consistente, o Fluminense carimbou a vaga na fase de grupos da Copa Libertadores 2023. Além do grande trabalho de Fernando Diniz, um fator que contribuiu para o desempenho da equipe foi o forte setor ofensivo e a sintonia de uma dupla gringa: Germán Cano e Jhon Arias.

da pinup bet: Neste momento do ano, o Tricolor tem o terceiro melhor ataque do Brasileirão com 56 gols, atrás apenas de Flamengo e do campeão Palmeiras. Fruto do estilo de jogo implantado desde a chegada do comandante com os estrangeiros participando ativamente dos lances com tabelas, assistências e finalizações certeiras.

No geral, o Fluminense já estufou a rede em 114 oportunidades em 2022, sendo que a dupla participou de 66 deles (isso reflete em 58%). Um número expressivo que evidencia a importância do argentino e do colombiano que chegaram ao clube neste ano e conquistaram a torcida.

Depois de deixar o Vasco, o camisa 14 chegou ao Fluminense cercado de expectativa para ser o candidato mais forte a ídolo para o lugar de Fred. Em campo, sob a batuta de Diniz, deslanchou e se mostrou um jogador diferente com ainda mais recursos. Além da finalização com apenas um toque, passou a ajudar na marcação e abrir espaço para os companheiros.

– Hoje além de goleador, é um jogador que ajuda muito em todas as partes do campo. Na defesa, no ataque. Dando movimentação, abrindo espaço para os companheiros. Acabou se tornando um jogador mais completo. E isso não diminuiu o potencial dele de fazer gols. Pelo contrário. Os números dele comigo são sempre maiores -disse Diniz, antes de completar:

+Após conquistar a vaga na Libertadores, Fluminense busca bater meta de premiação da temporada

– Fico muito feliz pelo fato dele estar conseguindo alcançar essas marcas e o meio que ele está conseguindo. O fato dele ser solidário com as pessoas, o time acolhe esse perfil psicológico que o Cano tem. É uma combinação perfeita. Time e ele. É um motivo de alegria estar participando disso – destacou

Com isso, o atacante já estufou a rede 39 vezes e enfileirou recordes ao longo do ano. Igualou a marca de Magno Alves como o maior artilheiro em uma mesma temporada neste século. Empatou também como colombiano Aristizábal como o estrangeiro com mais gols em uma única edição do Campeonato Brasileiro (21) de pontos corridos (2003 a 2022).

Outro recorde batido foi o de maior artilheiro estrangeiro do Fluminense em uma temporada, ao empatar com o compatriota Doval, que também marcou 39, mas em 1976. Além dos 39 gols, deu sete assistências em 67 jogos (atuou em todas as partidas do Tricolor no Brasileirão, até aqui).

Jhon Arias, por sua vez, tem sido importante ao flutuar pela porta e trazer para o meio com qualidade. Velocidade e forte nos duelos individuais, o colombiano tem visão de jogo e dado conta do recado nas bolas paradas. Voluntarioso, estabeleceu uma das melhores fases de sua carreira e a fama de garçom.

Portanto, o jogador alcançou números expressivos pelo Fluminense no ano, até aqui, com 32 participações em gols em 59 partidas (80 com a camisa tricolor). Ao longo desses dez meses, estufou a rede dezesseis vezes e já deu passes para dezesseis gols (média de 0,56 por jogo). As atuações convincentes fizeram o atleta ser convocado e ganhar destaque no jornal ‘As’, da Espanha.

Tottenham now considering "surprise" move for £120k-per-week Chelsea player

da imperador bet: Tottenham Hotspur are now considering a shock move for one player from Chelsea, as Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou scours for his much-needed second signing of the January window.

Tottenham pursuing new centre-back in January

da dobrowin: Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are set to return from injury sooner rather than later, in what will be a serious boost for the under-fire Postecoglou, who’s seen his defence absolutely ripped to shreds in recent months.

Tottenham and Levy could now hijack Man Utd talks to sign £30m defender

Chairman Daniel Levy has been tipped to swoop in.

For the longest time, Postecoglou was forced to cope with just one fit and available centre-back in Radu Dragusin, with Ben Davies also just returning from an injury which kept him out of the side for weeks.

Teenage Archie Gray was thrown straight into the deep end as a result, partnering Dragusin at the heart of Postecoglou’s defence in an unfamiliar role, and the Lilywhites boss will be very keen to avoid a scenario like this again as he seeks to resurrect Tottenham’s faltering campaign.

It is safe to say Spurs’ lack of depth has been seriously exposed, especially at centre-back, with reliable media sources claiming that Tottenham have been looking for another central defender to come in and bolster Postecoglou’s backline.

This comes amid technical director Johan Lange’s widely reported pursuit of a new forward, so the supporters will be hopeful their side can land one or two major outfield signings before deadline day on February 3.

Tottenham were reportedly targeting Abdukodir Khusanov from RC Lens, before the Uzbek’s high-profile move to Premier League champions Man City, while it is also believed that Lange could test AC Milan’s resolve with a bid for Fikayo Tomori (The Boot Room).

There are options for Postecoglou’s side heading into the final stretch of this window, and they’re also weighing up a rival defender in Chelsea ace Tosin Adarabioyo.

Tottenham now considering move for Chelsea defender Tosin

According to CaughtOffside, the £120,000-per-week former Fulham star has found his way on to Spurs’ list of centre-back targets.

Once a key player at Craven Cottage, Tosin’s opportunities at Stamford Bridge have been pretty limited overall since he sealed a free transfer there last summer. The Englishman was largely a bench player until early December last year, with Wesley Fofana’s long-term injury increasing his chances under Enzo Maresca ten-fold.

Chelsea's TosinAdarabioyocelebrates after the match

The 27-year-old has started five out of their last seven Premier League games, even scoring against Wolves last weekend, but Chelsea have now recalled Trevoh Chalobah and remain in pursuit of Marc Guehi (Mick Brown).

He could well find himself back on the fringes of Maresca’s team, depending on developments, and Tottenham are believed to be monitoring this situation closely. As per CaughtOffside, Tottenham are considering a “surprise” January move for Tosin, and it isn’t hard to see why given his top flight experience and atttributes suited to Postecoglou’s high line.

“He is fast, strong in the air, and has the quality to look forward behind the line for the next pass,” said Pep Guardiola on Tosin.

“He is a nice guy, his mind is open, he listens, he trains every day like it’s the last training of his life and I like to work with these kinds of players a lot.”

Harry Brook unfazed by Australian attack

Explosive batter riding a new wave into his Ashes debut

Vithushan Ehantharajah14-Jun-2023Of the players arriving into this Ashes riding the crest of England’s nu-wave, Harry Brook is probably at its very peak. Which explains the confidence he has in stating the faster Australia bowl, the quicker they will get sent to the boundary.”Obviously they might have a little bit of extra pace, but if they bowl quicker it tends to go to the boundary quicker,” he said, when asked about the arsenal of the visiting quicks. They will be the best and sharpest he has faced so far. And he doesn’t seem all that bothered by them at all.All to a man speak of belief and a love of being where they are and doing what they are doing. But few wear it as proudly as Brook. The 24-year-old has tangible proof of just how highly he is regarded in the England set-up.That the return of 2022’s Bazball totem Jonny Bairstow meant losing Ben Foakes, a reliable performer and certainly a superior wicketkeeper, was a testament to how the Yorkshire wunderkind has made the position his own. Seven caps in, 818 runs, four centuries, averaging 81.80 and striking at 99.03 – in a free-wheeling group, he is non-negotiable.Related

“There was a lot of talk of me opening the batting – thank god I’m not doing that,” laughed Brook, perhaps remembering a 10-game stint for Yorkshire across 2018 and 2019 in which he averaged 14.94 at the top of the order.”I was never asked. It gives me a lot of confidence knowing that I’m going to be batting five and they back me batting there.”To have established himself so early and in such fashion – after picking up a T20 World Cup winners’ medal, he then toured Pakistan and New Zealand, scoring more runs in nine innings than any in Test history – speaks to a high base level of self-regard dovetailing with undoubted ability. The drive to get to this level has been evident throughout, and the enthusiasm to replicate the exploits of the England stars of 2005 – a fond series for him, albeit on DVD years after given he was six at the time – is clear. Some of his mates will be on hand in the Hollies, and will no doubt toast Brook’s Ashes debut repeatedly throughout the day.This Test, however, is the first with a sense of responsibility around Brook, even if the McCullum-Stokes ethos is geared towards quashing anything that promotes caution. That he feels part of it all is in some way an acceptance of those expectations.”It’s a dream come true to be involved in my first Ashes,” said Brook. “Growing up I was watching some of these players who are still playing, against the best in the world and the best Australians. I’m looking forward to it.”I feel like I’m more part of the team now. Obviously as a deputy you don’t quite feel like you’re meant to be there if you know what I mean. So to have been contributing and gain a few match-winning performances this winter has meant the world and I feel a big part of the team now.”Harry Brook launches a drive down the ground•Getty Images

That Bairstow is behind him offers him license to go even harder, if that is possible. And with Moeen Ali behind the keeper-batter, Brook is excited by the prospect of seeing how a blockbuster lower-middle-order can perform out in the middle.”It’s a long batting line-up, that’s for sure. There’s a lot of T20 experience in there and lads batting with the tail tend to go harder and hit as many runs in a short period of time. To have them boys batting at seven and eight is ridiculous really.”That Brook has never faced Australia – the match at last year’s World Cup was rained off – puts a little bit extra on this. There is no doubt he will be the subject of a lot of their attention. The numbers – what he’s posted and his age – have put a target on his back, and he will not be lost for people to talk to when batting as the visitors look to disrupt his flow.There is no doubt the man will be willing to go toe-to-toe and give a bit back. He is certainly aiming to carry on his domineering ways out in the middle, even against the best attack in the world right now. And especially against one of the modern era’s premiere off-spinners in Nathan Lyon.”If I get a good ball I’m going to try and survive against that good ball, and if he bowls me a bad ball I’ll try and hit it for four or six. So it’s not necessarily I’m going to come after him and try and hit every ball for six. I’m going to respect the bowler and whatever he bowls and if it is a bad ball I’ll try and hit it for six.”

إيدرسون يتوصل إلى اتفاق مع ناديه الجديد لمغادرة مانشستر سيتي

توصل حارس مرمى فريق مانشستر سيتي، إيدرسون، إلى اتفاق مع نادِ جديد بشأن خطوة رحيله عن صفوف النادي الإنجليزي، خلال موسم الانتقالات الصيفي الحالي.

ولا تتوقف التكهنات حول مستقبل إيدرسون مع مانشستر سيتي، والتي بدأت منذ الصيف الماضي، بعدما ارتبط بإمكانية المغادرة والانتقال إلى الدوري السعودي.

ولكن الحارس البرازيلي ظل في النهاية رفقة مانشستر سيتي، الموسم الماضي 2024/25، ولكنه تعرض للكثير من الانتقادات بسبب تذبذب مستواه وكثرة أخطائه التي ينتج عنها الأهداف التي تهز شباكه.

وظهرت تقارير صحفية، قبل يومين، تفيد أن إيدرسون مطلوب في الدوري التركي في نافذة الانتقالات الصيفية الحالية، وتحديدًا من قِبل نادي جالطة سراي.

وحسبما ذكر الصحفي التركي ياجز سابونجوغلو، منذ قليل، فإن إيدرسون وافق على فكرة مغادرة صفوف مانشستر سيتي والانضمام إلى جالطة سراي التركي.

وأوضح أن جالطة سراي توصل إلى اتفاق مع إيدرسون حول كل شئ يتعلق بتلك الصفقة، ويتبقى الآن بدء المفاوضات مع مانشستر سيتي من أجل إتمام هذه الخطوة.

من جهة أخرى، يرتبط نادي مانشستر سيتي بأكثر من حارس لدعم ذلك المركز، مثل جيمس ترافورد حارس بيرنلي ومارك أندريه تير شتيجن حارس برشلونة.

"منفتح على كل الخيارات".. سيبايوس يلوح بالرحيل عن ريال مدريد

فتح داني سيبايوس، لاعب وسط ريال مدريد، الباب أمام إمكانية مغادرة الفريق خلال سوق الانتقالات الصيفية الحالية، في ظل تراجع دوره تحت قيادة المدرب تشابي ألونسو خلال كأس العالم للأندية.

وأدلى سيبايوس بتصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية: “سنتحدث عن مستقبلي في الأسابيع المقبلة، بيتيس كان بيتي وسيظل دائمًا كذلك”.

ورغم تجديد عقده حتى صيف 2027، أوضح سيبايوس أنه لم يغلق الباب أمام العودة إلى ريال بيتيس، حيث قال: “آمل أن يكون الباب مفتوحًا دائمًا، لم أتحدث معهم بعد، نحن منفتحون على كل الخيارات”.

ابتعاد سيبايوس عن التشكيل الأساسي في كأس العالم للأندية، وتفضيل ألونسو الاعتماد على أسماء مثل أوريلين تشواميني وفيدي فالفيردي وأردا جولر، زاد من الغموض حول مستقبله داخل ريال مدريد.

ورغم حاجة ريال مدريد إلى لاعبين بصفات سيبايوس بعد رحيل توني كروس ولوكا مودريتش، إلا أن استبعاده من المباريات قد يدفعه للتفكير في خطوة جديدة.

عودة سيبايوس إلى بيتيس تظل خيارًا مطروحًا، لكنه يتطلب اتفاقًا ماليًا، خاصة أن عقده ما زال ساريًا، وتبدو صفقة انتقاله معقدة من الناحية الاقتصادية بالنسبة للنادي الأندلسي.

Txiki pushing to sign £67m attacker for Man City but he’s £8m shy on price

da betcris: Manchester City are continuing to push to complete the signing of a “wonderful” new forward player, with Txiki Begiristain leading the pursuit, according to a reliable journalist.

Man City transfer news

da heads bet: The Blues’ woes in the Premier League continued on Tuesday evening, as they surrendered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 at Brentford. Pep Guardiola’s side have a lot of work to do if they are to get not only near the top of the table but also into the top four; therefore, it isn’t a surprise to see City enter the transfer market to strengthen their squad.

Man City must finally sell £50m star who has been "irreplaceable" to Pep

One of Manchester City’s most-experienced players is on the brink of leaving this month, but now is the right time to sell.

ByBen Gray Jan 15, 2025

One player City are close to signing is defender Vitor Reis from Brazilian side Palmeiras. Fabrizio Romano reported that City have reached a verbal agreement for a package under £33 million to sign the player. The Blues want Reis to join them straight away, and all that is left for the deal to be completed is for the player to complete his medical and sign his contract.

Palmeiras'VitorReisin action

Reis is not the only defender that is close to arriving at the Etihad, as City have also agreed to a deal to sign Lens’ Abdukodir Khusanov. The Premier League champions have agreed to a £33.5 million fee with the French side, and Khusanov is now set to undergo a medical and again complete the necessary paperwork before becoming a City player.

Txiki personally leading Man City chase for new attacker

Guardiola doesn’t want to stop there, as according to Sky Sports German reporter Florian Plettenberg, City and Begiristain are pushing to find an agreement to sign Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, hoping to agree to a deal worth £59 million plus add-ons.

Marmoush, who has been dubbed “wonderful” in the past, has become a top target for City in this transfer window. The 25-year-old, who joined Frankfurt on a free transfer in 2023, has been an impressive performer for the Bundesliga side, with 15 goals to his name in 17 league games this season. The forward was in action on Tuesday evening and scored one goal and registered two assists as Frankfurt beat Freiburg 4-1.

His performances have placed him on City’s list of targets, with it being reported that Marmoush and City have already agreed personal terms. However, a transfer fee is yet to be agreed upon, but that is not expected to be an issue, as Plettenberg states that the two clubs are not that far apart now and could even bridge their gap in the next two days.

The Bundesliga side wants €80 million (£67m) for Marmoush, but City’s offer for the forward is below that. The Blues believe they can get their man for a fee in the region of €70 million (£59m) plus €5-10 million add-ons. Begiristain is pushing to find an agreement in the next 48 hours, and at this stage, it is unlikely that Marmoush will play for Frankfurt in their game against Borussia Dortmund on Friday.

DPL week six: Abahani on course for DPL title after Sheikh Jamal drop crucial points

Afif Hossain scored a century as Abahani Limited maintained their unbeaten record in the Super League

Mohammad Isam07-May-2023

Afif Hossain celebrates his century against Prime Bank•Walton

Key takeawaysAbahani Limited maintained a 100% record in the Super League phase of the Dhaka Premier League. They beat Mohammedan Sporting Club, Prime Bank Cricket Club and Legends of Rupganj, while defending champions Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club dropped points against Gazi Group who beat them by seven wickets. Sheikh Jamal were bowled out for 89 runs.With two matches remaining for all teams in Super League, Sheikh Jamal must win both. Their last game is against Abahani, on May 13, which could be the title decider. If Sheikh Jamal drop points before, the last round is a mere formality for Abahani.Best batters – Afif Hossain, Zakir Hasan impressAbahani’s Afif Hossain scored heavily this week to keep them in the title hunt. He struck an unbeaten 111 against Prime Bank. In another match, it was the Prime Bank openers Shahadat Hossain and Zakir Hasan who struck centuries, only the fifth instance of both DPL openers hitting a century. Amite Hasan also made a century to help Shinepukur in their crucial relegation playoff against Agrani Bank. Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club’s Fazle Mahmud missed out on a century when he made 93 not out against Mohammedan.Best bowlers – Khushdil Shah takes another six-forAbahani’s latest foreign recruit Khushdil Shah claimed 6 for 49, the second six-for in the DPL this season, against Prime Bank in Fatullah. Ripon Mondol’s four-wicket haul also came in handy for Abahani against Prime Bank. Naeem Ahmed and Hasan Murad took five and four wickets respectively to help Shinepukur crush Agrani Bank in their last relegation play-off match.Best match – Abahani vs MohammedanThere hasn’t been a memorable Abahani vs Mohammedan match, dubbed the Dhaka derby, in many years. So when Abahani staged a late comeback to beat their one-time arch-rivals on the first day of the Super League this season, it attracted some headlines.Abahani won by eight runs after Mohammedan faltered at the end of their 259-run chase in Mirpur. Tanzim Hasan Sakib’s fantastic penultimate over got Abahani the win, as he gave away just four runs when Mohammedan needed 24 off the last two overs. Mosaddek Hossain then closed out the game with an effective final over. Points to ponderAbahani and Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club are in a two-team race for the title while at the bottom of the points table, Shinepukur Cricket Club won their relegation playoff matches. It means Agrani Bank and Dhaka Leopards are relegated to the Dhaka First Division Cricket League next season.Players to watch – Mahmudullah, Mosaddek, Nurul among runsAmong the players competing for a place in the Bangladesh side, Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain and Nurul Hasan got two fifties each this week. Usually a strong finish in the DPL keeps players close to senior team selection for the rest of the season. So with a lot of important one-day cricket coming up for Bangladesh in 2023, these runs could prove vital.

McKenna means business: Ipswich Town boss wants 5 new signings in January

da bet7: Ipswich Town are set for a busy month in January, with the club looking at bringing in as many as five new players inm the transfer market, according to a new report.

Ipswich on the up heading into January

da doce: Ipswich pulled off one of the scalps of the season earlier this week by beating high-flying Chelsea 2-0 at Portman Road. It was striker Liam Delap, who is reportedly a target for the Blues, who was the star on the day, opening the scoring from the penalty spot in the 12th minute, and then teeing up former Chelsea star Omari Hutchinson for the second after the break.

Speaking after the victory, which was Ipswich’s first at home this season, head coach Kieran McKenna said: “It was a special night. It’s the first Premier League win at Portman Road for 22 years and to do it against a team like Chelsea under the lights, during the Christmas period, makes it pretty special.

“The performance was what it needed to be to compete with a team like Chelsea who have world class players and substitutes.”

Delap said: “It’s a terrific performance from everyone that played. That win has been coming for a long time. It was good to finally get it. I think the performances that we’ve been putting in deserve it. We’ve probably been conceding late goals and not finishing our chances as well as we should’ve.”

Ipswich set for busy January

The manager will no doubt be looking to kick on from his side’s win over Chelsea, and to do that, the Northern Irishman is reportedly preparing to dip his hands into the transfer market. According to a report from Sky Sports, McKenna wants no less than five players in a range of different positions to strengthen his squad for the second half of the season.

Sky claim that the Tractor Boys “are looking at strengthening down the right-hand side of the team, as well as looking at new strikers and midfielders”. Among those players they are said to be interested in are Middlesbrough striker Emmanuel Latte Lath, whom they tried and failed to land in the summer.

Latte Lath scored 18 goals in all competitions for Michael Carrick’s side last season, and has nine to his name this term. West Ham United are also understood to be interested in the Ivory Coast international, 26.

While Ipswich may sign a host of new players in January, there could also be a fair few departures. According to Sky Sports, Cameron Burgess, Luke Woolfenden and Massimo Luongo could all leave Portman Road over the next few weeks. All three players’ contracts expire at the end of the season, meaning they are free to talk to new clubs this month.

The future of Delap is also in question. Not only are Chelsea said to be interested in the former Manchester City star, Manchester United and their new manager Ruben Amorim are now looking at signing him in the summer.
