da pinup bet： O Palmeiras praticamente selou a saída de Danilo para o Nottingham Forest-ING e, com isso, perde mais um titular importante das últimas temporadas históricas do clube. Sem ainda ter contratado e com aposta na permanência de uma espinha dorsal, o Verdão contará ainda mais com o trabalho e os planos de Abel Ferreira. O ano de 2023 promete ser daqueles que colocará muito coisa à prova.

Antes do jovem meio-campista, o Alviverde já havia perdido Gustavo Scarpa, melhor jogador do Brasileirão-2022, e talvez o melhor palmeirense da temporada. Até o momento, não houve reposição para essa saída e a tendência é de que nem haja, pois é um atleta com status de insubstituível por tudo o que conquistou e representou nos últimos anos. O jeito é buscar alternativas para ele.

da bet nacional：
O mesmo sentimento vale para Danilo. Por mais que se busque um substituto, dificilmente será encontrado um jogador do mesmo nível e que se encaixe perfeitamente nesse esquema vencedor que vem desde 2020. É um garoto diferenciado, raro no mercado. Novamente, o jeito será criar alternativas para suprir a ausência, seja com reforços, seja com os famosos planos de Abel Ferreira.

Todos os movimentos do departamento de futebol para esta temporada apontam para essa aposta na capacidade de Abel. Não é à toa, ele já mostrou que é um profissional competente e que apresenta resultados, mas não deixa de ser curiosa essa centralização das expectativas.

>Veja os clubes da Série A que mais anunciaram reforços até aqui para 2023

Claro, não podemos nos esquecer que o clube renovou o contrato de quase todos os titulares, que tiveram suas permanências garantidas por, pelo menos, mais duas temporadas. No entanto, a aposta também está aí, quando se acredita ser possível manter um grupo motivado e competitivo para buscar novas conquistas mesmo sem trazer reforços. A crença é que Abel promova tudo isso.

Talvez por tudo o que essa equipe já ganhou e já mostrou, a temporada de 2023 seja mesmo uma espécie de entressafra. Ou seja, mesmo que não conquiste títulos, a ideia é que se tenha a noção que o trabalho permanece sendo feito, e essa etapa é uma transição para a montagem de uma nova cara para o time, principalmente com os novos garotos da base subindo. Não deixa de ser uma prova de fogo, até para sentir o quanto a torcida entenderá o momento e confiará em Abel Ferreira.

A verdade é que qualquer equipe que perca jogadores de alto nível como Danilo e Gustavo Scarpa, sentirá falta e terá dificuldade para se adaptar à nova realidade. Isso evidentemente vai acontecer com o Palmeiras, que tem o trunfo de contar com Abel Ferreira, melhor técnico em atividade no país e há mais de dois anos no cargo. A aposta é alta, mas cai no colo de quem pode sustentá-la.

Teams likely to have a purse of INR 100 crore to build their squads for next season

Nagraj Gollapudi26-Oct-2023

The IPL player auction ahead of the 2024 season will be held on December 19 in Dubai; it is the first time the auction will be held overseas.The event will coincide with the second ODI of India’s tour of South Africa, which is scheduled for December 19 in Gqeberha.The ten IPL teams have until November 15 to submit the lists of players they are retaining and releasing, after which the auction pool will be finalised by early December.Each team will have a purse of INR 100 crore (USD 12.02 million approximately) to build their squad for the 2024 season, a INR 5 crore increase from last season’s purse of INR 95 crore. How much each team has to spend on auction day depends on the value of players they release, in addition to their unspent purse from the 2023 auction.Punjab Kings have the largest purse at present – INR 12.20 crore (USD 1.47million) – while Mumbai Indians have the smallest at INR 0.05 crore (USD 0.006 million). Of the remaining teams Sunrisers Hyderabad have INR 6.55 crore (USD 0.79 million); Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals both have INR 4.45 crore (USD 0.54 million); Lucknow Super Giants have INR 3.55 crore (USD 0.43 million); Rajasthan Royals have USD 3.35 crore (USD 0.40 million); Royal Challengers Bangalore have INR 1.75 crore (USD 0.21 million); Kolkata Knight Riders have INR 1.65 crore (USD 0.2 million); and defending champions Chennai Super Kings have INR 1.5 crore (USD 0.18 million).Despite being only a day-long event – compared to the two-day mega auction once every four years – mini auctions have produced some of the most expensive buys, especially in the overseas players category. Ahead of the 2023 season, Sam Curran became the most expensive player in IPL history when he was bought by Punjab for INR 18.5 crore in December last year.Several prominent overseas players are likely to enter the upcoming auction, including Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc who recently said he was “definitely” heading back to the IPL after an eight-year hiatus. Pat Cummins is also likely to put his name up for bidding, having skipped the IPL last year. Some of the other key players franchises expect to see at the auction are Travis Head, Chris Woakes, Alex Hales, Sam Billings, and Gerald Coetzee.

da esport bet： This season has been nothing short of a roller coaster for Arsenal fans.

da bet sport： Mikel Arteta’s side have been inconsistent on the pitch and incredibly unlucky with injuries off of it.

However, the last seven days might just have been the start of a good period for the side, with Mikel Merino stepping up in the absence of a recognised number nine on Saturday and then the former manager doing his successor a favour by taking two points off Liverpool on Wednesday.

With that said, the Gunners have a tough test against Graham Potter’s West Ham to get past this afternoon if they are to keep up the pressure on Arne Slot’s Reds, and to ensure they do, Arteta must unleash one of his new stars who’s been compared to the Hammers’ Mohammed Kudus.​​​​​​

Arsenal's record against West Ham

Since their first meeting back in January 1909, when they were under the name Woolwich Arsenal, the Gunners have played West Ham 152 times across all competitions, winning 74, drawing 41 and losing 37.

However, while their overall record against the Hammers is pretty excellent, the North Londoners’ form against the Hammers over their last four encounters has been decidedly more mixed, with two wins, two losses and a draw.

Moreover, while their last two games against the East Londoners, which have both been away, have resulted in hefty wins for Arteta’s men, their last game at the Emirates was something of a disaster.

It was in late December 2023, and despite taking 30 shots to their six, having 74% of the possession and amassing an expected goals figure of 2.77 to their 1.42, the title challengers came away 2-0 losers, and it could have been even worse had David Raya not saved Saïd Benrahma’s 96th minute penalty.

So, it should be an exciting game this afternoon, and one of the players Arsenal have to be most aware of is undoubtedly Mohammed Kudus.

Still, the good news is Arteta already has his answer to the attacker, although he has to make sure he starts him.

Arsenal's answer to Kudus

The unfortunate truth of the matter is that, thanks to the mountain of attacking injuries Arsenal have at the moment, there really aren’t many options for Arteta to choose from for the right wing, meaning it’s likely to be another start for the incredible Ethan Nwaneri, who also happens to be the team’s answer to Kudus.

Now, there are a number of reasons why this is the case, but perhaps the most significant is that he’s been likened to the Hammers star by FBref, which compares players in similar positions across Europe’s top five leagues, the Champions League and Europa League, then creates a list of the ten most comparable players for each one, and, in this instance, has concluded that the Ghanaian is the second most similar attacking midfielder or winger to the Englishman.

The best way to see where this comparison has come from is to look at the underlying metrics in which the pair rank closely, including, but not limited to, non-penalty expected goals plus assists, shots on target, passes into the penalty area, blocks, ball recoveries and more, all per 90.

On top of their statistical similarities, both players have shown themselves to be positionally versatile, as while the young Hale Ender is currently thriving off the right, he’s also able to play in midfield, attacking midfield, and even up-top, akin to the Irons ace.

With all that said, another reason Arteta must start the “unplayable” teenager, as dubbed by Jack Wilshere, is exactly that: he’s becoming the sort of player defenders do not want to play against.

For example, despite playing just 790 minutes of first-team football across 24 appearances, the Enfield-born phenom has scored seven goals and provided one assist, which comes out to an unreal average of a goal involvement every three games, or every 98.75 minutes.

Ultimately, Arsenal must win this game to keep the pressure on Liverpool, and for them to stand the best chance of doing so, the manager needs to keep Nwaneri in the starting lineup.

“We can’t afford injuries in that big tournament which involves practice matches and lots of travel,” says Bangladesh captain

Mohammad Isam10-Sep-2023

Shakib Al Hasan feels Bangladesh should rest their ODI World Cup-bound players during the home series against New Zealand later this month to ensure that they are “fit and healthy.” The three-match ODI series begins on September 21 and concludes on 26 in Dhaka, with both teams set to travel to India the following day. Both New Zealand and Bangladesh have two warm-up matches each on September 29 and October 2, respectively.Shakib conceded that one of the reasons to ask for this short period of rest is because of “lots of travel” that the team would have during the tournament in India. Bangladesh’s home series against New Zealand could also be an opportunity to test their bench strength. They are yet to name the squad for the World Cup.”We will try a few things in the three ODIs against New Zealand,” Shakib said. “If we can get one or two players from there who can fit into the team [later], it will be better for the team. Everyone has a chance [to play]. I personally believe that those who played in the Asia Cup could be rested from the New Zealand series, especially those who are confirmed for the World Cup.Related

“We cannot afford injuries in that big tournament which involves practice matches and lots of travel. We don’t have a lot of bench strength. It is very important for us that players are fit and healthy for the World Cup. I want all four of our fast bowlers to remain fit, now that Ebadot [Hossain] is out.”Bangladesh’s opponents, New Zealand, have picked a second-string squad led by Lockie Ferguson with Tom Latham among a group of senior players given a break before the World Cup.Meanwhile, Shakib suggested that the question about Mahmudullah’s return was “irrelevant” now, although BCB president Nazmul Hassan had stated twice since May that he was in contention. Mahmudullah has not played an ODI since March.”I don’t know if you mentioned Riyad [Mahmudullah] when he was missing from the last three series. Now you are saying it (laughs). I think it is very irrelevant. You have again asked the wrong question. Towhid Hridoy replaced Riyad .”

da doce： O Palmeiras planeja a temporada 2023 com poucos reforços, mas contando muito com as categorias de base, que já têm sido um elemento essencial para o elenco nas últimas temporadas. Em 2023, essa utilização das Crias da Academia se consolidará ainda mais com pelo menos um jovem em cada setor do time, seja reserva ou titular. Isso aproxima o clube de seu sonho, que é fazer do departamento de formação o principal fornecedor de material humano para oprofissional.

Para o gol, além de Vinicius Silvestre, formado por uma outra geração mais antiga da base, o elenco deve contar com Kaique como quarto goleiro. Provavelmente deverá ser pouco utilizado por conta da hierarquia e devido aos compromissos com o calendário da base, além da Seleção sub-20.

da betway： Nas laterais, haverá pelo menos um para cada lado. Na direita, Gustavo Garcia será o terceiro reserva, podendo até ser o segundo, caso Mayke siga sendo utilizado na “segunda linha”. Na esquerda, Vanderlan será o reserva imediato de Piquerez, status conquistado na segunda metade de 2022, quando ganhou a “briga” com Jorge, que foi emprestado para o Fluminense.

Na zaga, o representante da base deve ser Naves, que já vem ganhando oportunidades nas últimas temporadas. Com etapa concluída na base, ele ficará definitivamente no elenco principal como um “quinto zagueiro”, mas pode ser promovido caso Kuscevic, que manifestou desejo de jogar mais em outro clube, seja transferido. O clube não deverá buscar reforços para a posição e usará os jovens.

>Palmeiras campeão de novo! Relembre todos os títulos do Verdão em 2022

Já entre os volantes, os nomes estão consolidados há algum tempo. Danilo é titular absoluto, enquanto Gabriel Menino segue sendo importante nas estratégias de Abel Ferreira. Para 2023, a posição vai ganhar a presença fixa de Fabinho, que em 2022 ficava transitando entre a base e o profissional, mas agora terá maior participação e pode ganhar espaço se houver alguma saída.

Um setor “carente” de jovens da base nos últimos anos tem sido o dos meias. Mas em 2023 ele receberá um “reforço”: Jhon Jhon. O garoto recebeu chances no profissional em algumas partidas das últimas temporadas, mas ainda pertencia ao departamento amador disputando torneios sub-20 ao mesmo tempo em que treinava com o time de cima. Agora ele deve se fixar no profissional.

Entre os jogadores de lado de campo, ao mesmo tempo em que Abel Ferreira perde Wesley (vendido ao Cruzeiro), ele recupera Giovani que, livre de lesões, deve ser peça fundamental para a temporada palmeirense. Já nos homens de referência, o principal nome é, obviamente, Endrick. O jovem, que vinha garantindo seu espaço, será titular absoluto no time do treinador português para 2023.

Isso sem contar aqueles nomes que podem “estourar” ao longo da temporada, como Luis Guilherme, ainda sub-17, e Estevão, de apenas 15 anos. Ambos são, neste momento, as principais joias da base do Palmeiras e caso sigam crescendo no atual ritmo, não demorarão a subir para o profissional para brigar por uma vaga nesse elenco “contaminado” pelas Crias da Academia.

Sairaj Bahutule will be the bowling coach for the men, while Munish Bali takes charge of the fielding

Abhimanyu Bose11-Sep-2023

VVS Laxman and Hrishikesh Kanitkar will travel as the head coaches for India’s men’s and women’s teams respectively to the 2023 Asian Games, which will be played in Hangzhou in China. Sairaj Bahutule will be the bowling coach for the men, while Munish Bali will be their fielding coach. For the women’s team, Rajib Dutta will be the bowling coach and Subhadeep Ghosh the fielding coach.Both teams will enter the competition at the quarter-final stage. As per the latest schedule, the India men’s quarter-final match is on October 3 with the semis likely on October 5, if they qualify. The final is scheduled for October 7. The India women’s team’s quarter-final is scheduled for September 21, with their potential semi-final on September 23 and final on September 25. The games will be played at the Zhejiang University of Technology’s (ZJUT) Pingfeng campus cricket ground.Laxman, who is the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, has previously too stepped in as head coach on men’s tours when Rahul Dravid has been rested – as was the case recently for the T20I series in Ireland. The India men’s unit at the Asian Games will be a second-string squad, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, with the main squad preparing to play the World Cup that begins on October 5.Related

Kanitkar oversaw the women’s team for the home T20I series against Australia in December last year and then the tri-series in South Africa followed by the T20 World Cup earlier this year. The women’s team has been without a permanent head coach since December last year, when Romesh Powar was moved to the NCA. Former India bowler Nooshin Al Khadeer was appointed interim head coach for the women’s team’s last assignment – a white-ball tour of Bangladesh. The BCCI’s cricket advisory committee had conducted interviews for the women’s head coach position with three shortlisted names, but there has been no update on any appointment.In the men’s squad, there are doubts about Tilak Varma’s availability, as he could be asked to stay on in India on standby for the World Cup, given Shreyas Iyer had suffered back spasms just before the Super Four clash against Pakistan in the Asia Cup on Sunday.The women’s team will be led by Smriti Mandhana to start with. If India do make it to the semi-finals, Harmanpreet Kaur, who had been handed a two-match international ban for disciplinary issues, will return to lead in the final or the third-place playoff.

Former Pakistan captain, coach and selector in line to head new cricket committee in the board

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Jul-2023

Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq is set to return to the PCB nearly two years after he resigned as head coach of the national side.ESPNcricinfo understands Misbah is likely to be appointed the head of a cricket committee that will soon be formed. He will also be the advisor on cricketing affairs to the current head of the PCB, Zaka Ashraf.The impending appointment is the first major move the new administration will make in the running of Pakistan cricket. Ashraf was appointed head of the PCB’s new management committee earlier this month, after a brief legal tangle following the end of Najam Sethi’s stint as caretaker chairman in late June.Misbah’s role is expected to be an honorary one, which means he will not be paid a salary. The decision was finalised after he met with Ashraf on Monday.It means a return for Misbah nearly two years after he resigned in September 2021, shortly after Ramiz Raja was appointed PCB chairman. Since then, he has worked as an expert and analyst on various TV channels, commitments that he is likely to continue to pursue.Misbah also served as Pakistan coach and chief selector in September 2019, replacing Mickey Arthur as head coach. He had played under Arthur when he was captain of the Test side for a year, with Pakistan becoming the top-ranked side in the world during that time.After his retirement, Misbah was part of a committee that played a role in Arthur’s removal as head coach and he subsequently took over the role, as well as the responsibility of being the chief selector.When Arthur was appointed team director earlier this year, Misbah said the move was a “slap on Pakistan cricket,” not so much that it was Arthur but for the nature of his role and appointment. Arthur has remained in his job as Derbyshire coach, while overseeing the Pakistan side with Grant Bradburn as head coach. “It’s a slap on our cricket system that we are not able to find a high-profile full-time coach,” Misbah told ESPNcricinfo in February. “It’s a shame that the best ones do not want to come and we insist on having someone who is looking at Pakistan as a second option.”I blame our own system, which is vulnerable enough with so many weak lines for anyone to exploit it. We are to be blamed ourselves that we have disrespected and discredited our own people to make a bad image. The present and former lot don’t respect each other, with media and former players using their own YouTube channels for ratings, damaging the credibility and value of our cricket which, as a result, gives an impression that we are not capable.”
