No Baianão, por exemplo, Zeca está entre os três mais efetivos da competição em assistências para finalização (10) além de ser o Top 5 em passes (92% de acerto), líder em desarmes (93,7%) e o quarto melhor lançador do campeonato, sendo o segundo melhor da equipe.

Ele ainda é o líder em assistências para finalização (17) e viradas de jogo (3) considerando somente os jogadores do Vitória. Os dados em questão foram levantados pelo portal especializado em estatísticas ‘Footstats’.

As estatísticas em questão, além de darem confiança a Zeca, podem ser extremamente úteis para o próximo desafio da equipe na temporada. Isso porque, no domingo (5), os comandados de Leo Condé visitam o Bahia, na Arena Fonte Nova, pela antepenúltima rodada da fase de grupos no Nordestão.

محمد عبد الجليل: تبعات قرار انسحاب الأهلي ستكون قوية.. والزمالك أخذ قبلة الحياة

علق محمد عبد الجليل، نجم الأهلي السابق، على قرار الانسحاب من مباراة الزمالك في مسابقة الدوري المصري الممتاز الثلاثاء المقبل.

قال عبد الجليل عبر قناة “إي تي سي”: “قرار النادي الأهلي قوي، ولا نعرف تبعاته حتى الآن، ولكن تبعاته ستكون قوية جدًا، أنا أهلاوي، ولكنني لست مع هذا القرار، ومع ذلك، أنا في ظهر الأهلي ومجلس الإدارة مهما كانت العواقب، لكن من الصعب عليّ أن أرى الجماهير المتواجدة في الملعب، فقد اتخذوا موقفًا، ولكن لا يجب أن نحرمهم من مباراة مثل هذه”.

وتابع: “من غير اللائق أن يكون الأهلي ذاهبًا إلى الملعب ولا يريد خوض المباراة كنا ذاهبين ونحن متأكدون من الفوز بالمباراة، ومن ثم التتويج بالدوري بطولة الدوري، كانت في متناولنا ونحن نائمون”.

وأضاف: “بسيوني حكم جيد، ولكن الله سبحانه وتعالى فضل أن المباراة لا تُلعب، لأن بسيوني سيواجه ضغوطًا كبيرة في المباراة”.

واستطرد: “عدم لعب الأهلي لمباراة الزمالك يُعد خسارة فنية، وأعطت قبلة حياة للزمالك، الأهلي كان في فورمة عالية، موقف الزمالك منطقي، فهو حقهم، وكان فرصة لمجلس الإدارة بسبب وجود العديد من الأزمات”.

وأردف: “لو كان الزمالك يريد إصلاح كرة القدم بشكل صحيح، كان عليه أن يُظهر التضامن مع الأهلي، ويستقدم حكمًا أجنبيًا، خاصةً أنه انتقد التحكيم المصري”.

وأكمل: “حل الأزمة يكمن إما في إدارة النادي الأهلي أو رابطة الأندية أو اتحاد الكرة، ولا يوجد حل رابع”.

Mickey Arthur: Sri Lanka's bowling attack is 'almost ideal' for T20 World Cup challenge

Coach also keen to persist with top three of Nissanka, Perera and Chandimal

Sri Lanka’s attack has never looked quicker•ICC via Getty

Two quicks capable of bowling faster than 145kph, one allrounder who gets up into the high 130s range, a spanking new mystery spinner who is yet to be decoded, and a world No. 2 legspinner with a killer googly. These are Sri Lanka’s frontline bowling stocks for this World Cup. They are so good, says coach Mickey Arthur, they could be “almost the ideal attack”.They were excellent against a Namibia side that Sri Lanka were expected to overpower, with Maheesh Theekshana (the mystery spinner) picking up three wickets, and Lahiru Kumara producing good overs at each stage of the innings. But Ireland, a more formidable outfit, will be a step up.Still, Arthur is excited, particularly by Dushmantha Chameera (who bowled one delivery at 149kph on Monday, and whose bouncers can be truly nasty) bowling in tandem with Kumara, who also comfortably breached 145kph. This may be the lowest-rated Sri Lanka outfit ever to arrive at a T20 World Cup. But they’ve also never had a quicker attack.”For us to have two bowlers of genuine quality bowling at 145kph – that makes a massive difference,” Arthur said. “We know that any team doesn’t like facing them. They’re genuine wicket-takers. Their skills have got better and better over the last couple of months. We’re really happy having them attack for us.Related

“Dushmantha Chameera has gone to another level. He’s now genuinely world-class. To have those bowlers in our line-up gives us a good balance. Chamika [Karunaratne] brings a little bit of swing. And we’ve got our two spinners. It’s almost the ideal attack, if you like.”They will be tested by an Ireland batting order that seems to be finding its feet, but if they bowl second in Wednesday’s match, they will also have to contend with the dew. Across both World Cup venues so far, sides bowling second have struggled to keep the ball dry. Sri Lanka bowled first against Namibia for this very reason. But they are prepared if the toss goes the other way against Ireland, Arthur said.”We came out the night before the Namibia match and checked the amount of dew, and there was a fair amount. I don’t think it’s impossible to bowl if we have to bowl second. We’ve prepared that way – using wet balls, etc. We’ll be ready. Once the wicket cools down and gets a little bit of moisture on it, it just tends to come on a little bit nicer as well.”Sri Lanka will stick with the same top three, according to Arthur. They did not fire against Namibia, with each of Kusal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal, and Pathum Nissanka all getting out cheaply. While Perera has produced some good T20 performances, Chandimal and Nissanka are not highly rated hitters – their gifts favouring the Test format. Arthur sees no reason to change, though, with Perera dropping back into the top three following his latest injury layoff.”I’m pretty confident with Kusal Perera back at the top of the order now,” Arthur said. “He’s a world-class player, so to have him back there gives us a lot more solidity. I’m pretty sure he’s going to fire for us soon.”Pathum Nissanka is a work in progress. I’ve said numerous times that he’s the one young Sri Lanka batsman that I’ve seen in my time that is going to go on and genuinely become a world-class player for Sri Lanka. We’ll keep going with Pathum because we’re investing in him. That No. 3 position has been an Achilles heel for us, ever since we lost Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilaka and Niroshan Dickwella, we’ve battled to find the right balance in our top five. I’m comfortable we can find that balance if we can nail down that No. 3 position.”

Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham pull off heist as New Zealand storm into final

With 57 needed in the last four overs and the chase seemingly dead, they teed off to fell England

Alagappan Muthu10-Nov-20213:40

Jayawardene: Daryl Mitchell drank the magic potion

James Neesham contemplated retirement in 2017. He didn’t. Daryl Mitchell never contemplated opening the batting. He did. And together they dragged a New Zealand side adamantly trying to lose all the way to a T20 World Cup final.It was utter madness. And it came from outta nowhere. England, much like they did five years ago on a sparkling night in Kolkata, had the game in their hands. And not one but two big-hitting allrounders took it away from them.Watch cricket live on ESPN+

Sign up for ESPN+ and catch all the action from the Men’s T20 World Cup live in the USA. Match highlights of the first semi-final is available in English, and in Hindi (USA only).

The equation was 57 off 24. More than two runs a ball. As much as conditions in this tournament have favoured the team batting second, here there was no dew. The single biggest thing that made run-scoring easy on these dry UAE pitches was nowhere to be found.That’s why Mitchell – the best T20 six-hitter in New Zealand’s domestic circuit for the last five years – could find only one boundary in the first 10 overs of a 167 chase.That’s why Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson were dismissed for single-digits.That’s why Liam Livingstone could bowl four overs of his part-time all-sorts for just 22 runs. When he finished his spell – after taking out New Zealand’s then top-scorer Devon Conway for 46 – England’s chance of victory according to ESPNcricinfo’s forecaster was nudging 80%.Neesham has had enough of these games. His Twitter timeline is a tribute to his wit – yes – but also to how badly that 2019 World Cup final broke him. He was out there in the Super Over. He hit Jofra Archer for a six. He ignited New Zealand’s hopes when they really shouldn’t have had any on that night only for them to fall so agonisingly short.Just as Neesham and everyone watching were reeling from the deja vu, Chris Jordan came up to bowl and leaked a monster six over square leg. That shot became the centerpiece of New Zealand’s breathtaking resurrection, 23 runs coming off an eight-ball 17th over – including a relay catch that quickly morphed into another monster six – as one of England’s go-to men just crumbled under pressure.Suddenly New Zealand only needed 34 off 18 balls. And it was Mitchell’s cue to wind up. He set up deep in his crease. His front leg had the good sense to keep away. Chris Woakes missed his lengths. And three brutal hits in the 19th over – two over the ropes and one onto it – brought sweet, unbelievable and everlasting victory.England change it up
This semi-final had all the feels of two heavyweight boxers sizing each other up. But there was no real KO punch.Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow were rather cautious at the top, their gameplan dictated in equal parts by the early swing on offer and the big occasion they found themselves in.England went away from their typical T20 template – attack every ball – to a more nuanced one – respect every ball. For the first time since 2014, they had to wait till the 15th over of the game to pick up their first six.Malan and Moeen adapt
England’s approach protected them from early wickets, but that left a lot on the middle-order’s shoulders. A middle order that hasn’t had too much time in the middle at this tournament.But Dawid Malan controlled things beautifully. If you’re in any doubt about that, pull up clips of his cover drives. With flowing hands and sublime timing, he pushed England forward and was unlucky to miss out on a half-century.Moeen Ali didn’t make that mistake. Playing the world’s most elegant slogs, his 51* off 37 provided the finishing kick that took a good total to a defendable one. With most of England’s batting tonight revolving around left-handed blades, New Zealand’s best spinner Mitchell Santner bowled only one of his four overs.No dew
Guptill was caught off a flick. Williamson was caught off a scoop. Now those shots come off when there’s pace in the pitch. And there’s always pace in the pitch if there’s dew around. New Zealand expected it to come. But it stood them up instead.Woakes – who before this World Cup was left in T20I wilderness for five-and-a-half years – picked up both those wickets and set England on their victory march. This team prides itself in being on cutting edge pf both batting and bowling. But in Abu Dhabi – where cricket takes a time machine back to the 90s – they realised knocking it around for 160 and building on scoreboard pressure with tight Test-match lengths had the better chance of success.And all of that would worked a treat if a big-hitting allrounder hadn’t decided to turn everything on its head. Again.

Tottenham sent Napoli warning with Conte "ready" to move for Spurs starlet

Tottenham Hotspur have been sent a warning that Napoli and former Spurs boss Antonio Conte are “ready” to move for an “outstanding” starlet in Ange Postecoglou’s squad.

Spurs prepare for tough test against Aston Villa

Following on from their uplifting 2-1 win over Man City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening, which was much-needed after their slump to lowly Crystal Palace last weekend, the Lilywhites take on high-flying Aston Villa in another very tough test.

Unai Emery’s side have lost just once all season so far, a defeat to Premier League title-chasing Arsenal back in August, and appear on course to be sure-fire contenders for a place in the top four yet again.

Spurs, meanwhile, have endured a very mixed start to the campaign under Postecoglou – winning four, losing four and drawing one of their opening eight top-flight matches as the Australian aims to galvanize a consistent winning run from his side.

Timo Werner’s been singled out for criticism amid his lacklustre form, but the German scored his first goal in all competitions since March by opening the scoring against Man City in midweek.

The 28-year-old will be hoping to build upon that strike by regaining full form, amid reports that Werner is likely to return to RB Leipzig at the end of his loan spell as things stand, with Spurs edging towards not taking up the option to sign him permanently.

While the likes of Dejan Kulusevski have seriously impressed, with the Swede arguably showcasing his best-ever run of form in a Lilywhites jersey right now, other members of the squad like Werner haven’t been able to help Tottenham’s cause as much.

Summer signing Archie Gray could be loaned out by Spurs in January, as intermediaries apparently tell Postecoglou’s side that many clubs in the Premier League and Championship are considering winter approaches for the teenager (GiveMeSport).

Gray has struggled for game time in the top flight, and those within the club apparently believe they have a decision to make in regard to loaning him out (GiveMeSport).

Tottenham warned that Napoli are "ready" to move for Dragusin

Another player who’s been forced to play more of a bit-part role in the squad is January signing Radu Dragusin.

Dragusin is attracting interest from Serie A, as per other reports, and it is believed that Napoli are seriously keen on the “outstanding” 22-year-old. That is according to journalist Paolo Paganini, who told Rai 2 (via CalcioNapoli) that Napoli are ready to move for Dragusin in January – sending a warning to Tottenham.

“Be careful because Napoli is ready to make a double move in January,” said Paganini.

“One is Dorgu from Lecce, and the other is Dragusin from the Premier League. Be careful because Raspadori can leave, but [Aurelio] De Laurentiis will hardly give him to Juventus. Atalanta also like him.”

Letting the Romania international leave could be a head-scratching decision, considering Spurs’ congested fixture calendar, and the consensus in England is that Tottenham have no interest in selling or loaning Dragusin mid-season.

CPI da Chapecoense ouve presidente e ex-presidente do clube e contesta relação entre a Caixa e seguradora

MatériaMais Notícias

A CPI da Chapecoense teve mais um desdobramento nesta quinta-feira (17). Criada para apurar a situação das 71 famílias das vítimas no desastre aéreo ocorrido em 2016, a comissão ouviu o atual presidente do clube, Nei Roque Mohr, o ex-presidente, Plínio David de Nes Filho, além do vice-presidente de logística e operações da Caixa Econômica Federal, Antônio Carlos Ferreira de Sousa.

Na reunião realizada no último dia 10, a CPI havia aprovado requerimento para convidar o presidente da Caixa, Pedro Guimarães, para a audiência que ocorreu nesta quinta-feira (17). Contudo, Guimarães não compareceu, afirmando que estava acompanhando a situação dos deslizamentos de terra em Petrópolis. O vice-presidente de logística e operações foi seu representante.

Parlamentares contestaram a parceria firmada entre a Caixa e a resseguradora Tokio Marine, que ainda não pagou das indenizações aos familiares das vítimas da tragédia aérea. No entanto, outras empresas também são apontadas como resseguradoras do voo.

-Foi noticiado, Sr. Antônio, que a Tokio Marine detém contratos de seguro com a Caixa Econômica Federal. Assim, gostaria de saber se o senhor, como Vice-Presidente da Caixa Econômica Federal, vê algum problema ético ou mesmo comercial ao firmar contratos de seguro com companhias que decidem não honrar o pagamento, alegando tecnicalidades contratuais – indagou o senador Jorge Kajuru (Podemos-GO).

O vice-presidente da Caixa frisou que não há qualquer problema em torno da parceria do banco estatal (por meio da Caixa Seguridade) e a resseguradora.

– Em relação ao contrato em especial das empresas relacionadas à Caixa, nenhum conglomerado conhece esse contrato nem é parte dele. Na relação contratual de parceria com a Caixa e a Tokio Marine, todas as diligências de governança foram cumpridas, que preveem praticamente oito etapas – ponderou.

Presente na reunião, o vice-presidente de marketing da Chapecoense, Alex Passos, destacou que o clube projeta “migrar” para o modelo de Sociedade Anônima do Futebol (SAF).

– A SAF vai acabar sendo criada na Chapecoense. O momento em que ela vai ser criada, quem vai decidir isso agora vai ser como é que essa recuperação judicial vai andar, como é que vai ser a assembleia de credores, como é que nós vamos conseguir montar este processo. E, diante desse mercado todo, não tenha dúvida que, como o presidente Nei, falou nós estamos ouvindo todo mundo, todo mundo – disse.

A próxima reunião da CPI da Chapecoense está marcada para a próxima quinta-feira (24). Estão previstos na pauta os depoimentos do presidente da Tokio Marine do Brasil, José Adalberto Ferrara, e do presidente da Petrobras, Joaquim Silva e Luna.

Sri Lanka to host Zimbabwe for three ODIs in January 2022

The three games will all be day-night fixtures as part of the Super League, and will be held in Kandy

ESPNcricinfo staff28-Dec-2021

Zimbabwe are currently bottom of the Super League table, while Sri Lanka are sixth•AFP

Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka are set to begin 2022 with three ODIs as part of the ICC Super League, with Sri Lanka hosting the series. The three games will be day-night fixtures scheduled for January 16, 18 and 21, and will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.Zimbabwe are currently placed bottom of the Super League table with two wins from their nine games, while Sri Lanka are sixth in the 13-team league, with four wins from 15 games. The Super League is a qualification path to the 2023 ODI World Cup, with the top eight teams qualifying directly, while the remaining five will be pooled with five Associate teams in a qualifying tournament. Two teams will go through to the World Cup from that tournament. By virtue of hosting the 2023 World Cup, India have automatically qualified, effectively making the Super League a battle for the next seven spots.Zimbabwe are currently tied on 25 points with the Netherlands, but have played five matches fewer.”Every game is very important for us because Super League games will decide who can qualify automatically, hence it is important that we prepare well and start well,” Zimbabwe head coach Lalchand Rajput said. “I am a very confident person and always believe that we can beat Sri Lanka, considering that we have had good game time playing the Pro50 tournament [Zimbabwe’s domestic List A competition].”Zimbabwe’s last ODI in the Super League was part of a three-match series against Ireland in September, which ended 1-1. The teams split points in the washed out second ODI. Sri Lanka also last played in the Super League in September, beating South Africa 2-1 in a home series.”We have not started off well in the Super League, but I am confident that with the players in form during the Pro50 matches, we will do well against Sri Lanka,” Rajput said. “If we play our best cricket and to our potential, with our best players, there is every chance that we can qualify directly.”
