Se na Copa do Nordeste o time decepcionou, no estadual a chave da mudança finalmente aconteceu. Desconhecido do torcedor, Pablo Vojvoda foi escolhido para assumir o time e mudou a história.
Logo nos primeiros duelos, o treinador colocou o time no ataque e as goleadas apareceram. De maneira tranquila, chegou na decisão e bateu o Ceará para ficar com o título.
Sob desconfiança no Brasileirão, o Fortaleza embalou com boas atuações e uma delas foi na Arena Castelão, onde massacrou o Internacional por 5 a 1.
Sem gozar de um grande elenco, o Tricolor perdeu a liderança, mas permaneceu entre os primeiros colocados do torneio nacional.
Em paralelo ao Brasileiro, o Fortaleza foi muito bem na Copa do Brasil. A campanha durou até a semifinal, onde ficou na semi diante do Atlético-MG. Mas antes da eliminação, o Tricolor deixou para trás o Ceará com direito a uma exibição de gala onde venceu por 3 a 0.
Libertadores
Sem chance de título no Brasileirão, o Fortaleza não decepcionou o torcedor e com tranquilidade confirmou a sua classificação para a Libertadores de 2022 para a fase de grupos.

Reforço do Botafogo para 2022, Fabinho foi apresentado oficialmente na tarde desta quarta-feira no Estádio Nilton Santos. Em coletiva virtual, o meio-campista de 35 anos destacou que as alternativas que Enderson Moreira possui para montar o meio-campo podem ser algo positivo durante o ano.

–Quanto mais opções o professor Enderson tiver melhor. Sempre penso coletivamente. Quando você trabalha coletivamente, o individual automaticamente aparece. Quem tem a ganhar com todas essas opções é o Botafogo. Cada um vai brigar pelo seu espaço, será um ano bastante desafiador para todos e estamos bem preparados. Estou na minha sétima Série A, ali dentro de campo posso ajudar os mais jovens a ter tranquilidade, sobre posicionamento também – afirmou.
Fabinho muda de ares após três anos no Ceará. No Vozão, o meio-campista atuou mais como um primeiro volante. O jogador, contudo, explicou que pode fazer mais funções dentro de campo.
–Depende muito do esquema tático que o treinador quer usar. Cada treinador tem sua característica, e a forma de jogar pode ser alterada de acordo com o adversário. Nas últimas edições do Brasileiro pelo Ceará atuei mais como primeiro volante, mas já atuei como segundo. Dependendo do adversário o treinador me pede para segurar mais para liderar os laterais, na pressão pede para eu subir um pouco mais. Sou um jogador que chega na frente também pelo lado direito, vai muito de acordo com o que o treinador pede – analisou.
Como é chegar no Alvinegro diante de todo o processo de compra da SAF? Para Fabinho, essa é mais uma oportunidade para o Botafogo recuperar o protagonismo.
–É um projeto muito interessante, um momento de reestruturação. Acredito que as pessoas responsáveis estão tomando as melhores decisões para que o Botafogo continue crescendo. O Botafogo é um clube grande, histórico, acredito que com esse projeto o clube tenha a crescer ainda mais. Sempre falo que às vezes na vida nós superestimamos aquilo que conquistamos e subestimam onde podemos chegar. É um novo ciclo em que o Botafogo vai continuar crescendo – indicou.
The captain for the T20I series will be named by the selection panel later

Temba Bavuma has a word with the South Africa team physio after hurting his hand•Gallo Images/Getty Images
Temba Bavuma, the South Africa limited-overs captain, has been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing series in Sri Lanka after suffering a fracture in his right thumb during the first ODI on Thursday. In his absence, Keshav Maharaj will lead the side for the second and third fixtures of the three-match ODI series.Related
Maharaj wants to be South Africa's Test captain
Bavuma, who will return to South Africa as soon as possible to consult a specialist, took a blow to the thumb during the 26th over of South Africa’s chase in the series opener on Thursday when, after pushing the ball to midwicket, he was attempting to avoid the fielder’s throw. He took his glove off immediately, which revealed some blood and swelling, and received on-field attention for several minutes and continued batting, but not for long.At that stage, Bavuma and Aiden Markram had shared in a 106-run second-wicket stand. Bavuma eventually retired hurt on a 53-ball 38 after the completion of the 28th over because of persistent discomfort. When taken for scans later in the evening, it emerged he had sustained a fracture, a CSA statement said the day after, on Friday.”The timelines for return to play will be defined subsequent to that,” the statement said, adding that the national selection panel would meet to identify the T20I captain for the series.South Africa lost the first ODI by 14 runs. The second match is scheduled for Saturday, with the final game on Tuesday, after which the teams will play three T20Is.
Just because the transfer window is currently closed, it doesn’t mean clubs aren’t still scouring the market for their next purchase.
Chelsea have done this in the past, with Christopher Nkunku and Hakim Ziyech two examples of this in the past ten years, with deals being agreed ahead of the window opening.
Enzo Maresca and the sporting directors will already be getting an idea of the squad they have, and where it can be improved upon further, as the list for any Janury or summer additions starts to be made.
Chelsea looking at Serie A defender
According to reports by Italian publication sempremilan, Chelsea are one of the clubs keeping tabs on AC Milan star, Theo Hernandez, as he will be entering the final year of his deal at the end of the season. Other interested clubs include European heavyweights PSG, Bayern Munich, and Juventus.
AC Milan legend, Paolo Maldini, once labelled Hernandez as a “special” talent after scoring his 29th goal for the Italian club, levelling Maldini’s goal-scoring record at the club for a defender.
AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez.
The 27-year-old has made 222 appearances for Milan, scoring 31 goals, providing 41 assists, and totalling 19,164 minutes played.
But could the signing of Hernandez actually unlock one of Chelsea’s newest signings, giving Jadon Sancho a new dynamic partner to work with down that left-hand side?

How Hernandez would impact Sancho at Chelsea
Chelsea signed Sancho on deadline day this summer, joining the club on an initial loan deal from Manchester United, which will turn into an obligated transfer for around £20-25m. The 24-year-old has already made four appearances for the Blues, providing three assists in his 263 minutes played.
But the signing of £50m-rated Hernandez could change the dynamic of that left-hand side for Chelsea, allowing Sancho to thrive even more, and making it harder for the opposition defence to know what his next move is.

Stats taken from FBref
The current dynamics of Chelsea’s left side see Marc Cucurella starting at left-back, but forming a back three with the two centre-backs, whilst the right-back – often Malo Gusto this season – inverts into midfield.
This often leaves Sancho isolated out on the left wing, with his main source of support coming from Chelsea’s left-sided number eight (often Enzo Fernández), who has to make overlapping and underlapping runs to create space for Sancho.
Hernandez would change this dynamic, as he is a more attack-minded fullback, as you can see from his metrics. He offers goal threat, often making overlapping and underlapping runs into dangerous areas, combining with his Milan teammate Rafael Leao, and joining in with goals and assists.
Theo Hernandez
By giving Sancho this constant support, he would not only be able to create more for Hernandez but also for himself, using Hernandez’s runs and threat as a decoy, allowing him to cut inside, slot a pass into the striker or even take a pop himself.
This would mean Chelsea have to rethink their tactical strategy, with maybe the right-back slotting into the back three instead of inverting, but that would be on Maresca to tweak his system and find the best way to utilise the talent he has in the squad.

As Manchester City continue to chase a fifth-consecutive Premier League title, they may be facing the prospect of losing Kevin De Bruyne after the current campaign amid rumours that he’s now in talks over a departure.
Man City transfer news
Whilst Manchester City haven’t convinced in their usual dominant fashion so far this season, especially since Rodri’s campaign was ended by an ACL injury against Arsenal, they have kept rolling on and earning the right results in the title race. Edging past Southampton last time out to sum up their unexpected struggles as of late, the champions did at least see Erling Haaland get back on the scoresheet in a return of normality after blanking in the last three Premier League games.
With the verdict on their 115 FFP charges awaiting them later this year, those at the Etihad may not have the same opportunity to seal Premier League glory this time next season, making the current campaign all the more important. Meanwhile, it could also be the last season that they get to enjoy one particular club legend.
Major Spanish newspaper drop big update on Erling Haaland’s Man City future
There has been plenty of speculation about a potential move to Spain.
ByBen Browning Oct 25, 2024
According to Tom Bogert of The Athletic, De Bruyne has held talks with San Diego FC and prefers a move to the MLS rather than the Saudi Pro League as he begins to negotiate his exit away from Manchester City.
As things stand of course, the £400,000-a-week Belgian is set to leave as a free agent at the end of the current campaign to bring what has been a legendary spell to an end in England’s top-flight.
"Incredible" De Bruyne is one of Premier League's best
Although nostalgia may not agree, De Bruyne stands alongside the likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Patrick Vieira as an undoubted Premier League legend and one of the best midfielders – if not the best – to ever grace English football. He has been the centre of more than one historic Manchester City side and only sits behind Ryan Giggs in the all-time assists record, 49 away from the former Manchester United winger.
Pep Guardiola is well aware of just how special De Bruyne is too, saying via TNT Sports when the Belgian returned from injury last season: “Kevin must know how much the people love him. He’s incredible. Kevin, until he decides to leave or retires, will forever be one of the most beloved players. We are really pleased for him.”
If this is to be his final season in the Premier League, then De Bruyne will be looking to bow out in style and extend Manchester City’s unprecedented record to a fifth title on the bounce.
He said his visit to the hospital had been a “routine check-up” after experiencing discomfort in his stomach

Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has, in his first public comments since undergoing an angioplasty, clarified that he did not suffer a heart attack. He also thanked people who had wished him well around the world, and confirmed he was on the mend.In a video shot at his home and uploaded to his YouTube channel, Inzamam said his visit to the hospital had been a “routine check-up” after experiencing discomfort in his stomach. “I want to thank everyone in Pakistan and around the world for praying for my health. I want to thank the Pakistan people, and cricketers from Pakistan and around the world who sent their well-wishes.”I saw reports saying I had suffered a heart attack. I did not. I went to my doctor for a routine check-up, who said they wanted to conduct an angiography. During angiography, they noted an artery of mine was blocked, so they inserted stents to alleviate that problem. It was successful and easy, and I came back home after just 12 hours at the hospital. I feel fine.”The 51-year old was taken to hospital complaining of chest pains on Monday; at the time his management had said that he had suffered a heart attack, and had to be rushed for surgery.Inzamam urged people to keep tabs on their cardiac health, and consult their doctor if they had any concerns. “I went to the doctor because I felt a very slight bit of discomfort. It wasn’t even close to the heart area, but the stomach. Had I delayed getting it checked out, doctors said the heart could have been damaged.”Inzamam, 51, is Pakistan’s highest run-getter in ODIs with 11701 runs in 375 matches, and their third-highest in Tests with 8829 runs in 119 matches. He was also among the country’s most successful captains.He retired from the international game in 2007 and has since held several positions in Pakistan, as a batting consultant and then the chief selector from 2016 to 2019. He has also worked as head coach of Afghanistan.
O meia-atacante Ricardo Goulart foi apresentado como novo camisa 10 do Santos na tarde desta sexta-feira (21). O reforço assinou contrato por duas temporadas e comemorou a chegada ao clube.
– Fiquei muito feliz com o contato do Santos. Joguei aqui e sempre foi muito difícil, principalmente na Vila. É um clube gigantesco. Outros clubes tiveram interesse, mas senti o astral do clube já nas primeiras conversas e isso mexeu comigo – explicou.

Goulart não deve ficar à disposição para a estreia do Peixe no Campeonato Paulista diante a Internacional de Limeira, fora de casa, na próxima quarta-feira (26), por conta da documentação. O jogador também era preocupação por conta da parte física, mas deu detalhes da lesão no joelho e acredita que precisa apenas pegar ritmo.
– Joelho está super ok. Tenho trabalhado, trago um fisioterapeuta comigo há dois anos. Os números foram muito bons e nós apresentamos ao Santos. Cheguei muito bem fisicamente, com adaptação boa no clube. Meus números nos treinamentos surpreenderam a todos. Muitos pensam sobre o joelho, mas estou bem. Basta pegar ritmo de jogo e entrosamento para fazer bom ano – explicou.
Nascido em São José dos Campos, no interior de São Paulo, Goulart começou a carreira no Santo André, em 2009 e chegou a ter passagem pelo Internacional antes de chegar ao Goiás, em 2012. E foi no esmeraldino em que o atleta começou a ser destaque no futebol brasileiro, conquistando a Série B e sendo artilheiro da equipe na temporada. No ano seguinte, foi contratado pelo Cruzeiro e chegou ao ápice no cenário nacional, sendo bicampeão brasileiro (2013 e 2014), novamente artilheiro e até mesmo convocado para a Seleção Brasileira.
Em 2015, acertou sua transferência para o Guangzhou Evergrande, da China, e tornou-se um dos principais jogadores do país, conquistando três edições do Campeonato Chinês (2015, 2016 e 2017) e uma Liga dos Campeões Ásia (2015). Após rápida passagem pelo Palmeiras, em 2019, Goulart retornou para o futebol chinês, onde permaneceu até a última temporada.
أعرب لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ريال مدريد فديريكو فالفيردي، عن سعادته بالفوز على نظيره أتلتيكو مدريد في منافسات دوري أبطال أوروبا.
وفاز ريال مدريد بنتيجة 4/2 في ركلات الترجيح على خصمه أتلتيكو مدريد في إياب دور الـ16 من دوري أبطال أوروبا، في نظامها الجديد على ملعب “واندا متروبوليتانو” (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).
وبذلك تأهل ريال مدريد إلى دور ربع نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا ليضرب موعداً مع آرسنال بالشهر المقبل.
وقال فديريكو فالفيردي لاعب ريال مدريد في تصريحات لـ “أمازون برايم”: “كانت مباراة صعبة للغاية، لعبنا مباراة عادية على أرضنا، وهذا ما يحدث لنا دائمًا هنا”.
وأضاف فالفيردي: “دخلنا المباراة وكأننا فائزون بالفعل، لكن الهدف الأول أزعجنا كثيرًا، سيطرنا عليهم ودخلنا ركلات الترجيح متعبين للغاية، الحمد لله أننا فزنا”.
وتابع فالفيردي: “التأهل يجب أن يكون بمثابة حافز، على الرغم من أن هناك الكثير من الموسم المتبقي، أنا متعب للغاية لكن مع الفوز ننساه”.
Ipswich Town were very busy during this summer transfer window, with Kieran McKenna and Co wanting to bring in some top talents to ensure the step-up in quality to the Premier League didn’t swallow the Suffolk underdogs whole.
In total, the Tractor Boys added 11 new players to the group, with some settling into life better than others so far as Ipswich face a long and tough battle against the top-flight drop-zone currently.
Liam Delap definitely fits the bill of the second bracket more than the first, with the ex-Manchester City wonderkid loving life at Portman Road at the moment, even as he now permanently finds himself away from the luxuries of Pep Guardiola’s men.
Delap's start to the season
Delap has been a constant source of positivity for Ipswich this campaign so far even when results have gone against them, with the 21-year-old already onto four top-flight goals from eight appearances.
Even in games that have seen the Tractor Boys get turned over as they grow more used to the challenges of the elite league – seen in their recent 4-1 loss away at West Ham United – Delap still manages to exit those bruising experiences with his head held high, having bagged his side’s early equaliser on the day before everything suddenly went pear-shaped.
No other new recruit in attack has managed to seamlessly fire in the same sparkling way, with Sammie Szmodics going quiet ever since bagging a shock strike against Manchester City right at the start of the campaign, alongside former Sunderland star Jack Clarke still being unable to break his goalscoring duck in the Premier League for his new employers.
Whilst patience will be exercised with both of those permanent faces, McKenna will be beginning to become more and more restless over loanee Kalvin Phillips, who is struggling once more to resurrect his playing days with another new club.
Phillips' start at Ipswich
Before putting pen to paper on a temporary switch to Suffolk, Phillips’ last loan stint with West Ham was nothing short of a car crash for the Manchester City dud.
West Ham midfielder Kalvin Phillips
The ex-England international would only make ten appearances in total for the Hammers, with former West Ham striker Dean Ashton even labelling his time at the London Stadium as “shocking.”
His poorest shift for the Tractor Boys to date coincidentally occurred at this familiar stomping ground, with Phillips way off the pace throughout against the Hammers, with an early error on the ball allowing Michail Antonio to score within the first minute to begin the 4-1 rout.

Looking at the table above, Phillips’ eye-wateringly high wage will also be concerning for the Tractor Boys currently, with Ipswich throwing money away no matter what portion they are actually coughing up of his high £150k-per-week salary at Man City.
Amazingly, according to Capology, Delap earns a modest £20k-per-week pay packet when contrasted next to the 28-year-old’s steep wage, despite being far more in McKenna’s good books at the moment than Phillips.
Phillips does have time on his side to turn around another underwhelming chapter in his ongoing story, but if he continues to put in lacklustre displays for Ipswich like the ones recently served up, this move will no doubt go down as an expensive mistake the Tractor Boys rue signing off on.
Whereas, Delap’s move already looks to be a major success, with other recruits in through the door this summer wanting to shine in a similar manner moving forward to try and help their new employers fend off relegation, away from following in the footsteps of the ex-Leeds United midfielder.
