A péssima notícia que Roger recebeu na última sexta-feira, e que foi revelada no sábado, pode não ser tão ruim assim. O tumor descoberto em um dos rins do centroavante do Botafogo tem cerca de três centímetros de diâmetro. A informação foi publicada originalmente pelo blog do Jorge Nicola, do Yahoo.

O prazo de recuperação vai variar entre 30 e 90 dias. A partir da cirurgia, que acontecerá em breve, é que se terá a certeza. O jogador do Glorioso não deve jogar mais este ano. Por ser considerado pequeno, a chance de recuperação do atleta é considerada alta.

علّق تشافي هيرنانديز المدير الفني لفريق برشلونة الإسباني على اللقاء المرتقب الذي سيجمعه ببايرن ميونخ في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وتحدث تشافي في تصريحات أعقبت فوز برشلونة على فيكتوريا بلزن بالجولة الأولى لدور المجموعات في دوري الأبطال بنتيجة 5-1، فيما حقق بايرن ميونخ فوزًا على إنتر ميلاه بنتيجة 2-0. أهداف مباراة برشلونة وفيكتوريا بلزن

وقال تشافي في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية: “إنها الأيام الأولى، نحن سعداء للغاية، يجب أن نستمتع بأنفسنا ولكن هناك ثلاث نقاط فقط، لا يزال لدينا مواجهة أمام بايرن ميونخ وأخرى أمام إنتر ميلان.. إنها مجموعة صعبة، علينا أن نستمر في التحلي بالتواضع، هذه فقط البداية”.

وأردف بشأن المباراة أمام فيكتوريا بلزن: “على الرغم من أننا فقدنا بعض الكرات السخيفة، المباراة بأكملها، كنا مسيطرين، لقد دافعوا بشكل جيد للغاية، وسجلوا أهدافًا فردية، كان ديمبلي جيدًا جدًا، ليفاندوفسكي أحدث فرقًا.. هذا الهدف الذي استقبلناه قبل الاستراحة يزعجنا، لكننا تفوقنا على فيكتوريا، من خلال التسديد أكثر من 20 مرة على المرمى في كل مباراة، فأنت أقرب للفوز، المشاعر جيدة، لكن الطريق طويل”.

وأكمل: “هدفهم نتاج خطأ لنا، يجب تحسين ذلك، التقدم بنتيجة 3-1 يمنحنا راحة البال لمواجهة الشوط الثاني، أولئك الذين بدأوا أساسيون كانوا جيدين جدًا، وكذلك البدلاء، فيران ساعد وسجل، ممفيس ديباي، جيرارد بيكيه.. سعيد وراض لأننا وزعنا الدقائق وقمنا بالتناوب، مباراة رائعة بالتأكيد”.

وشدد مدرب برشلونة: “الانتصارات تجلب الثقة وتحسن الروح المعنوية، سيعود العديد من اللاعبين إلى ديارهم الليلة وهم يعلمون أنهم خاضوا مباريات عالية، لكنها تظل مجموعة صعبة، ولا مكان للنشوة وهذا يكسبنا ثلاث نقاط فقط”.

وسُئل تشافي إذا كان ندم برشلونة وحداده على رحيل ليونيل ميسي عن الفريق إلى باريس سان جيرمان انتهى، وأجاب: “لن ينتهي أبدًا لأن كل ما قدمه لبرشلونة كان استثنائيًا، ولكن، للأسف، انتهى الأمر، والآن هناك لاعبون آخرون وطاقم عمل آخر”.

A number of Liverpool supporters have urged the Reds to sign Leeds United star Raphinha after it was revealed that they wanted him in the summer.

Jurgen Klopp had a quiet transfer window last time around, with Ibrahima Konate the only signing and the likes of Gini Wijnaldum and Xherdan Shaqiri leaving the club.

One player with whom they have been linked is Raphinha, who has been a fantastic signing for Leeds, scoring 11 goals and registering nine assists.

[freshpress-quiz id=“375258″]

The 24-year-old ended up staying put for the time being but his exit from Elland Road may not be too far away, given the Whites’ current lowly standing in the Premier League.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano [via LFC Transfer Room on Twitter], Liverpool wanted Raphinha in the summer, which suggests that they could potentially go back in for him in the near future.

Liverpool fans want Raphinha

These Reds fans took to Twitter to provide their thoughts, urging FSG to snap up the Brazil international to join their illustrious attack of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

In other news, some Liverpool fans are ecstatic after an injury update. Read more here.

Leeds United’s latest Premier League outing against Brentford was filled with positives and negatives, the positives being the return of Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford, who scored their late equalising goal to rescue a 2-2 draw, after the duo had been out with injuries.

The negatives, however, were that Liam Cooper and Kalvin Phillips had to go off with injuries. With this in mind, this could be a perfect time for Marcelo Bielsa to put his faith in one of Leeds’ young talents.

Opportunity knocks

Even though 22-year-old Jamie Shackleton has made nine appearances in the Premier League this season, predominantly playing in the right-back position while Ayling was out injured, he has spent their previous two fixtures on the substitutes bench.

Now that Phillips and Cooper have picked up these unfortunate blows against Brentford, this could pave the way for Shackleton to get back into the team either in a midfield or defensive capacity depending on how serious the injuries are, giving Bielsa the opportunity to tinker with his team again and give the youngster a chance to prove his worth and quality again.

As one of the Yorkshire club’s youth academy prodigies, during his time on the pitch for Leeds in the Premier League this season, Shackleton, who is currently earning a weekly wage of £17k-per-week according to Salary Sport, has shown his quality on the ball with an average passing accuracy percentage of 88% as well as proving his defensive capabilities by racking up an average of 2.4 tackles per game.

Labelled as a “superb” player by Darren Bent, Shackleton’s overall performances have earned the Englishman a season rating of 6.71/10, making him Leeds’ joint-fourth highest rated outfield player according to WhoScored.

Should Phillips’ injury keep him out of the team for a significant period of time, Bielsa should definitely consider playing Shackleton in midfield and allow him to unleash his defensive qualities once again, especially since Leeds only have Mateusz Klich and Adam Forshaw to rely on as other options in central midfield.

With Leeds having games against Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool next up in the league, it seems as though Bielsa’s side could do with all the defensive reinforcements that they can muster with three of those teams scoring more than double the number of league goals Leeds have scored so far this term.

O Flamengo voltou a vencer fora de casa no Brasileiro após um longo período de jejum (desde 8 de julho) e respirou aliviado neste domingo. O técnico Reinaldo Rueda admitiu alívio com o resultado positivo conquistado diante da Chapecoense, por 1 a 0, na Arena Condá, vislumbrando a retomada de confiança do time em busca de uma vaga no G4.

-É uma vitória importante para voltar a confiança e somar na tabela.Perdemos pontos importantes como mandante, no clássico, diante do Avaí também. Alivia um pouco.A competição é intensa e essa vitória vai ser importante. O propósito é esse (G4). Falamos com o grupo que é preciso duas, três vitórias consecutivas para retomar a confiança – disse o treinador rubro-negro.

– Ele é um profissional íntegro. Passou por essa situação na Seleção, fez um excelente trabalho, se esforçou e voltou.Pensei que ele fosse atuar por menos tempo. Fez um esforço muito grande. Por sorte, fez o gol do triunfo, que fortalece a ele e toda a equipe – ponderou.

The Irish will seek to become the ICC’s eleventh Full Member nation, and the first to rise from the Associate ranks since Bangladesh in 2000

Alex Brown03-Nov-2009

Ireland have announced an ambitious plan to ascend to Full Member status within the ICC. The Irish will seek to become the ICC’s eleventh Full Member nation, and the first to rise from the Associate ranks since Bangladesh in 2000.Warren Deutrom, Cricket Ireland’s chief executive, has sent a letter to the ICC stating his board’s intention to apply for Full Membership – a potential pathway to Test cricket – and to seek clarification on the process. The ICC have since informed Ireland of the council’s criteria and expectations, and the matter will now be discussed at the next chief executives’ meeting, scheduled for later this month.”There’s a long way to go,” Deutrom told Cricinfo’s Switch Hit podcast. “Traditionally, applications have taken two, three or more years. There are clearly a large number of hoops we have to jump through. In terms of challenges that are facing us, yes, there is clearly an awful lot of work we need to do just to fulfill the compliance and existing criteria.”It perhaps sets in motion a process that allows others to see the levels they need to reach in order to fulfill the same ambitions. It shouldn’t be easy. Test cricket is regarded as the pinnacle of the game and it’s quite right that those trying to ascend to Test cricket, or just Full Membership without necessarily involving Test cricket, have to ensure that they are coming up to some pretty rigorous criteria.”Ireland’s cricketers have mounted a strong case for consideration as a Full Member nation with a string of solid performances in the four-day, 50 and 20-over formats, but still face a difficult task convincing existing members of the political and commercial benefits that their elevation would bring to the game. Unlike Bangladesh, the most recently-elected Full Member, Ireland does not boast a large population and player base to draw from. Bangladesh also provided India and its allies with another regional partner – and vote – at the ICC table. Ireland’s introduction could potentially upset that balance.The difficulties encountered by Ireland’s cricketing administrators were highlighted earlier this year when a television rights package could not be negotiated for the home ODI against an England side less than a week removed from winning the Ashes. Attendances for other international matches have been modest, as cricket struggles to gain a foothold in a nation already absorbed by Gaelic football, hurling, football and rugby. Despite such obstacles, Cricket Ireland has evolved commercially to the point that ICC funding only accounts for 30% of the board’s total revenue.If the ICC is serious about its long-espoused aim of expanding the game beyond its traditional strongholds, Ireland might be in with a chance. Full Member funding would better equip Ireland to retain its top players – the defections of Ed Joyce and Eoin Morgan to England were evidence of Associate cricket’s glass ceiling – and offer a progression path for other aspiring nations to follow.”In terms of television, there is no doubt whatsoever that that was an issue last year,” Deutrom said. “We had television for our game in 2006 when Ireland played England and in 2007 when India and South Africa were here. We didn’t get a broadcaster for 2009. I think there were some financial problems involved in that. I think the problem by and large, from what broadcasters say to me, is that they don’t like to do deals on a one-by-one basis. They prefer to package things up. If we were in a situation whereby we were embedded in the Future Tours Programme, then we would have sufficient home cricket to be able to go out and talk to another broadcaster.”From a political perspective, I would regard many people on the chief executives’ committee and the board as extremely fair-minded. I hope this doesn’t come across sounding naive, but I think the decision should hopefully be made on its merits and not on the basis of any political alliances.”Ireland’s recent performances have raised hopes that they could prove competitive at the game’s elite level. In 41 one-day internationals since 2006, the Irish have won 17 matches, highlighted by their three-wicket triumph over Pakistan at the 2007 World Cup. Ireland won eight consecutive completed matches against Scotland, Kenya and Canada before suffering a narrow three-run defeat to England in their most recent ODI. That sequence included victory in the World Cup qualification tournament in South Africa earlier this year, which they capped with an emphatic nine-wicket demolition of Canada in the final.Ireland have proven similarly competitive in the 20-over ranks, winning four of their eight completed matches including a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh at the World Twenty20 in June that propelled them into the Super Eights stage of the tournament. They are currently vying for their fourth consecutive Intercontinental Cup crown, and remain unbeaten in four-day competition since 2004.”The key area where we see the strength of our proposal would be the performance on field of the senior men’s squad over the last couple of years,” Deutrom said. “In all three forms of the game we’ve proven ourselves above our associate rivals.”If you think about the reasons why (players) are going (to England), it’s because they want to be as good as they can be. They want to be able to find the vehicles and the forums to be able to express their abilities. In that way, we need to make sure that our players are aware of our ambitions. If we just happen to bump along as an associate and say, ‘We’re the No.1 associate now, that’s all we’re going to be forever,’ I think we’re going to lose more and more players. Our ambitions are surely to make sure that cricket is as successful as possible in Ireland … and to that extent we need to make sure that our players are aware that that is exactly where we’re going.”Even if it’s obviously too late for the likes of Eoin Morgan and Ed Joyce, what we’re saying to the next rung of Irish players coming through is: we are ambitious, we are interested in going for Full Membership but it may take some time, and we are doing our very best to put in a contract system that allows you to consider playing cricket as a career in Ireland in the same way as you might want to play cricket for England and to complement your county career.”

O empate por 2 a 2 com o Cruzeiro não foi o resultado dos sonhos para o Palmeiras, mas serviu para reduzir um pouco mais a distância para o líder Corinthians: a diferença entre os rivais, que chegou a 17 pontos após a 21ª rodada, agora é de 5 pontos.

Se tivesse vencido, o Palmeiras teria reduzido sua desvantagem para apenas três pontos. Nesse cenário, uma vitória no confronto direto de domingo, em Itaquera, igualaria a pontuação das duas equipes e transformaria os alviverdes em líderes devido ao número de vitórias.

De qualquer forma, o Verdão não fica tão próximo do Corinthians quanto agora desde a terceira rodada do Brasileirão, quando os alvinegros tinham quatro pontos de vantagem. Depois disso, os rivais sempre estiveram separados por seis pontos ou mais.

– A gente estava 17 pontos atrás. Sabemos que era muito difícil tirar. Já tiramos muitos pontos, vamos ver o que acontece nessas sete rodadas – disse o atacante Dudu, colocando o pé no freio na expectativa pelo título.

– A gente tem que ir somando pontos e firmar nossa posição no G4. Já abrimos mais um.Sendo bem sincero, o nosso discurso é sempre o de focar no próximo jogo. Está dando certo, fizemos 10 dos últimos 12 pontos.A gente tem o objetivo claro de chegar na Libertadores e não vai cair em armadilha nenhuma. Não é não assumir, é a estratégia que colocamos: jogo a jogo – emendou Fernando Prass.

A vantagem do Corinthians para um vice-líder não é tão curta desde a décima rodada, quando tinha quatro pontos à frente do Grêmio. A maior vantagem para um segundo colocado foi registrada de dez pontos à frente dos gaúchos.

Speaking to talkSPORT, as transcribed by Goodison News, commentator Sam Matterface has made an interesting claim involving assistant Everton boss Duncan Ferguson.

The Lowdown: Benitez under fire…

Toffees boss Rafael Benitez was appointed to replace ex-manager Carlo Ancelotti who suddenly and unceremoniously left to take up the Real Madrid role.

The Spaniard’s appointment was a controversial one bringing divided opinions given his ties to bitter Merseyside rivals Liverpool and their league form hasn’t exactly been sparkling since his arrival.

Currently lying 14th and eight points off the drop zone, speculation has arisen over whether Everton could opt to replace him already.

An unlikely 1-1 draw away to European champions Chelsea on Thursday evening would have eased the pressure somewhat but many supporters will be wondering who could replace Benitez if the club opted to part company.

The Latest: Matterface makes Ferguson claim…

Speaking to talkSPORT (via GN), their commentator Matterface has now made a claim involving assistant boss Ferguson.

He says that the 49-year-old is ‘in the thoughts of the ownership’ with some Everton chiefs, including chairman Bill Kenwright, eyeing him for a possible first time managerial role.

“Duncan Ferguson is in the thoughts of the ownership if there is a change of manager,” Matterface explained.

“Certainly there is a split on the board and some of those, including Bill Kenwright, would like to see Duncan get the job eventually.

“He’s going to make the step up, I’m sure it’s going to be the next time.”

The Verdict: Best candidate?

Ferguson attracted huge praise for his brief stint as caretaker boss before Ancelotti arrived at the Toffees helm, with pundit Kevin Phillips explaining how he was ‘pivotal’ to their revival at the time whilst doing an ‘unbelievable’ job (Football Insider).

The ex-Toffees player has since returned to his assistant role and continues to draw acclaim as former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan recently called him ‘huge’.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin also recently spoke of his admiration for Ferguson, with it being clear he has respect inside and outside the club whilst knowing Everton like the back of his hand.

Following his years of brilliant service, we believe he certainly shouldn’t be ruled out as a candidate should Benitez leave.
