Nesta terça-feira, o vice-presidente de futebol do Flamengo, Marcos Braz, conversou ao vivo com o jornal “SIC Notícias”, de Portugal, sobre Jorge Jesus. O dirigente, novamente, disse que o treinador é uma opção, mas garantiu que ainda não conversou com ele. Braz também ressaltou que não esperará ou torcerá para Benfica perder os jogos decisivos contra o Porto, que acontecem ainda neste mês.

E isso não é problema porque quando o Luiz Felipe Vieira foi ao Brasil, ele (Jesus) estava sob contrato. Então, ele pode ser uma opção, é uma opção desde que ele esteja aberto para isso – disse Braz.

Moeen Ali scores 23-ball fifty as home side rack up records on way to thumping win

Birmingham Phoenix completed a clean sweep at Edgbaston, winning their fourth and final home game to go top of the Hundred and extinguish Welsh Fire’s knockout hopes with a 93-run thrashing capped by Imran Tahir, who took the tournament’s first hat-trick.Phoenix racked up the highest total of the Hundred to date – breaking their own record – on a true, hybrid pitch after being asked to bat first, with Will Smeed continuing his fine run of form and Moeen Ali swinging five sixes into the stands.Fire’s chase startly poorly when Adam Milne – surprisingly left out of New Zealand’s T20 World Cup squad earlier in the evening, though included as injury cover – trapped Tom Banton on the front pad with a 90mph/145kph inswinger, and got little better from there. Ian Cockbain top-scored with 32 but struggled to score freely and Tahir took 5 for 25, spinning out the tail and setting off on a celebratory lap of Edgbaston after completing his hat-trick.
Phoenix sit top of the table ahead of their final two group games, both away from home, after defending a total for the first time in the competition, while Fire are realistically out of knockout contention after four straight losses.The need for Smeed At 19, Smeed is the youngest player in the men’s Hundred – not that you would know from his bulging biceps and raw power. He has done the dirty work for Somerset in his fledgling T20 Blast career, with a strike rate of exactly 130 grinding runs out at No. 3, but has been given licence to tee off on flat pitches in the Hundred since replacing Daniel Bell-Drummond in the side, and has scored his runs faster than anyone else in the competition with more than 20 runs.His flurry of early boundaries got the Phoenix innings up and running as he raced to 21 off 9, flaying David Payne and Luke Fletcher away through the inner ring. He struggled badly for strike through the middle of the innings, facing only 23 deliveries between balls 25 and 95, but cracked consecutive full tosses for four then six off Matt Milnes at the death to lead Phoenix to a competition-high total of 184.Magic Mo No batter in the history of T20 cricket has a higher strike rate against spin than Moeen, and he put on a clinic of ultra-attacking mid-innings batting to drive his side towards a huge total. He got himself up and running by thumping Qais Ahmad for a huge six back over his head, moving to 25 off 17 after 40 balls, before unleashing an assault on Graeme White’s left-arm spin.White’s first three legitimate balls were thumped over wide long-on, straight back over his head, and wide long-on again for three enormous sixes, and with two wides down the leg side his economy rate was briefly above six per ball. Moeen brought up a 23-ball fifty – the second-fastest of the Hundred – when punching a Milnes offcutter away through point, and while he was dismissed shortly after when swinging Jimmy Neesham straight to long-on, he had set the platform for the rest of the middle order.Liam Livingstone was dropped at deep midwicket by Glenn Phillips, who clung on to a chance in the following set of five but only after Livingstone had launched David Payne 93 metres over midwicket, and while Fletcher landed yorker after yorker to finish with 0 for 21 from his 20 balls, the rest of the attack struggled for control throughout.Tahir douses Fire Banton’s early dismissal got Fire’s chase off to a false start, and despite a partnership of 35 for the second wicket between Cockbain and Ben Duckett – the leading run-scorer in the competition – they were always struggling with the required rate.Phoenix’s array of pace-off options proved close to unplayable as the innings wore on: Benny Howell made the crucial breakthrough, pinning back Duckett’s leg stump as he attempted a paddle-scoop, and Tahir ripped through the middle and lower order.Fire had slipped to 90 for 7 when he returned for his final set of five, and when Qais Ahmad skied a catch to mid-off to further expose a long tail, the prospect of a hat-trick was immediately on the cards. Milnes was pinned on the pad first ball, and Payne was flummoxed by a fast googly which crashed into his stumps and set Tahir off on a lap of the West Midlands to a huge ovation from a sold-out Monday-night crowd.”It’s been difficult: we’ve been playing on pretty flat tracks but I think that’s good for the crowds,” Tahir said. “We’re living in a sad time with Covid and stuff but coming here and playing in front of a crowd is a great feeling. I felt that the batter was going to be ready for the quicker one so I tried a quick googly and it worked. It’s really nice to come and deliver here in front of everybody.”Tahir became the sixth player to take three T20 hat-tricks, the oldest player to take a T20 five-for, and the second player after Dwayne Bravo to reach the landmark of 400 wickets in a T20 career (Hundred games count as T20s for statistical purposes).
Aston Villa are among a handful of Premier League clubs keeping an eye on an exciting Championship player, according to a new report.
The Villans play their second Champions League game of the season on Wednesday evening as they welcome Bayern Munich to Villa Park, but heading into the game there has been a bit of transfer news that could occur in 2025.
Emery benches Digne in 2 changes for predicted Aston Villa lineup v Bayern
Aston Villa will be nervously preparing for their Champions League showdown versus Bayern Munich.
ByKelan Sarson Oct 2, 2024 Aston Villa transfer news
Unai Emery’s side were very busy during the summer, as they put together a squad that could compete in the league once again as well as in Europe. It has been a good start to the campaign for the Midlands side, but it appears that they could have their eye on more transfer business in 2025.
Villa are said to be keeping a close eye on Atletico Madrid player Samuel Lino, as Emery is keen to improve his options on the left-hand side of his team. The club’s sporting director, Monchi, has been keeping an eye on the player ever since he joined the La Liga side in 2022, and it now seems they are readying their move.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are also looking to improve their forward line, as they are interested in signing Valencia striker Hugo Duro. They have been left impressed by Duro’s performances in Spain, and are keen to add him to their squad in the near future. Interest in Duro comes as there are still concerns about the future of Jhon Duran despite his excellent form in front of goal.
Aston Villa send scouts to watch two Boro stars
According to TBR Football, Aston Villa had scouts in place to watch Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney and Rav van den Berg against West Brom at The Hawthorns on Tuesday evening. The representatives from Villa were there to look at both West Brom and Boro, but they looked closely at Hackney in particular, who has been very impressive in the Championship this season.
Hayden-Hackney-and-Michael-Carrick
Hackney, who has been labelled as “immense” by his manager Michael Carrick, scored the only goal on Tuesday, and it would be no surprise to see him turning out in the top flight next season. It appears that his form has caught the attention of Villa, who were joined by scouts from Nottingham Forest and Wolves.
Van den Berg meanwhile joined Boro in the summer of 2023, and was an important performer for them last season. The defender has missed the last few games through injury, but made his third start in the league on Tuesday as Boro picked up a huge result.

India opener talks about trusting the “process” after recording long-awaited first overseas ton
Nagraj Gollapudi04-Sep-20216:31
‘Spending time in the middle was the biggest takeaway for me in the four Test matches’
He would no doubt agree that his maiden overseas Test century carried a lot of “value”, but the most significant takeaway for Rohit Sharma from the fourth Test, in fact the first four Tests of the Pataudi Trophy, is the fact that he has managed to play out maximum time and maximum balls. That, Rohit said, has been the primary goal and the basis of his success as a Test opener, a journey that started in 2019.The 256 balls Rohit played in the second innings of the Oval Test was the third-most by an India opener this century in England, only behind Rahul Dravid and Murali Vijay. With another Test remaining in the series Rohit can eye the record of the most balls faced in a series by an India opener in England: currently, having faced 856 deliveries, he is third on the all-time list, behind Sunil Gavaskar (1979) and Vijay (2014).”Most pleasing thing was that I was able to play 250 balls,” Rohit said in the media briefing on Saturday. “If you look at all the Test matches [this series] I have nearly played 100 balls in every innings. That to me was a goal. The first goal was to play balls, see how I can stay on the pitch for as long as possible because we do know that things start to get easier when you spend time in the middle, when you see what the bowlers are doing and get the hang of it and get the feel of the entire situation. Spending time in the middle was the biggest takeaway for me in the four Test matches.”Right through this England trip, which started with the World Test Championship final in June against New Zealand, Rohit has looked the most settled India batter, threatening to convert the starts into something big. Rohit already had two half-centuries in seven innings against England, including 83 in the first dig at Lord’s. But he had to swallow his disappointment and applaud his opening partner KL Rahul, who notched a first-innings century, setting the tone for India’s memorable Lord’s victory.Here it was the turn of Rahul to stand alongside the packed Oval crowd after Rohit effortlessly lofted a six to bring up his century. While his celebrations were muted and restricted to just waving a bat, Rohit acknowledged it was a special innings. “It holds a lot of value. You are playing in testing conditions, against quality bowling line-up. Obviously when you do well against that you always feel good. I knew when I came here from the World Test Championship final, I knew I have to put in the best effort with bat however I can, whatever it takes – you know I don’t mind looking ugly at times with whatever I do with the bat as long as I get the job done for the team.”Cheteshwar Pujara congratulates Rohit Sharma on his century•AFP/Getty Images
In reality, Rohit the opener has been anything but ugly. He has shown far more discipline and patience and looked more confident than any other India batter. That has come from hours spent in training sessions where Rohit’s solitary focus has been to read lengths, leave balls and understand where his off stump is. That is what Rohit calls the process.”It is not just, you come here and get a hundred. It has never been like that,” he said. “It is a process and it takes time. We need to understand that. When you are playing overseas it is never easy. When I started opening I knew all those big scores are not going to just happen. There will be a process I will need to follow, keep ticking the small boxes and that’s something I did when I started opening batting.”When you play cricket all over the year, those little adjustments you should be able to make [are] based on the situation, based on the conditions, and [based on the] position of your batting as well. You can’t just come and play shots especially in a place like England. You need to understand situation of the game, certain type of bowlers, considering all that together, there were little adjustments that I had to make and I was happy to do it. It’s a good process. It is a very enjoyable process. Most importantly I trusted whatever I was doing. I knew the results will come, rewards will happen, but it might take time. It’s just that you need to be patient. I was very patient.”Related

Stats – Rohit Sharma's first overseas Test century
It was on India’s tour of the West Indies in 2019 where the team management spoke for the first time about Rohit opening. Having struggled to find consistency as a middle-order batter, Rohit opened for the first time in the home series against South Africa. He made a stunning and memorable statement, recording twin centuries in his maiden appearance as a Test opener and bookended that South Africa series with a maiden Test double-century.Importantly, Rohit’s success and experience have contributed to India’s opening combinations withstanding new-ball pressure from the opposition, and that was also seen in the final two Tests of the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy where Rohit and Shubman Gill stayed solid in Sydney and Brisbane. Looking back at the South Africa series, Rohit agreed that personally he took that assignment as a “last opportunity”.”I wanted to think, in a way, this is it – I have to make good use of this opportunity and for that, whatever it takes, I have to do it. You need to bring a lot of stuff into your batting: most importantly discipline. That is something I focused on a lot, on [and] off the field. When you are in the nets discipline is something I wanted to bring into my batting, whether it is about leaving the ball, solid, tight defence and all of those things. When you play in these conditions, all those things matter.”That patience and discipline is what has kept Rohit hungry despite him taking 47 innings – the second-longest by an Indian – to make his first overseas century. “Getting a hundred, whether it is overseas or at home, it’s always a good feeling,” Rohit said. “That is what all batters try for: getting those big runs and making sure you always try and put the team in good position. [Getting an] overseas hundred was not on my mind. What I was focusing on was the process. If I follow the process, if I believe whatever I’m doing during my practice sessions, I know results will come, you will be rewarded. Sometimes things might not come easy and you need to put in the hard yards.”

With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contract still running down, Everton have reportedly joined the race to sign a replacement who has also attracted the interest of both Chelsea and Arsenal.
Everton transfer news
As the Friedkin Group arrive, Everton will hope to be well placed to welcome some much-needed reinforcements, and that means avoiding relegation at all costs in the current campaign. Of course, in the opening stages of the campaign that task looked more like mission impossible. Now without a defeat in three Premier League games, however, Sean Dyche’s side will be desperate to pick up where they left off after the international break.
Alas, that recent run has not put an end to the rumours on the Calvert-Lewin front. As things stand, the Everton forward is set to leave as a free agent at the end of the current campaign amid links to the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. Left searching for a replacement, reports suggest that the Toffees may turn their attention towards the Serie A.
£12m ace has his bags packed and Everton are only club named as destination
The Toffees could make their move…
ByTom Cunningham Oct 17, 2024
According to Corriere dello Sport, via Sport Witness, Everton are now battling to sign Santiago Castro from Bologna in 2025 alongside Premier League rivals Aston Villa, Chelsea and Arsenal.
Castro only completed his first move into European football during the summer, replacing Joshua Zirkzee at Bologna, but has seemingly already done enough to enter Everton’s radar. At just 20 years old, there’s no doubt that the Argentine is one to watch amid such interest and amid Everton’s growing need to sign a striker.
What’s more, signing Castro ahead of those competing for a Champions League place would also be quite the statement of intent for Friedkin to make from the very off.
"Great" Castro can replace Calvert-Lewin
Whilst Castro is an entirely different type of striker to Calvert-Lewin, he is certainly someone who is capable of leading Everton’s frontline in place of the England international.
Santiago Castro for Bologna.
A player who doesn’t have the same physical presence as the Everton star, Castro has still had no trouble adjusting to life at Bologna since the summer, earning the praise of manager Vincenzo Italiano, who described his striker’s game as “great” after a 2-2 draw against Como.

A player who has almost scored double than what has been expected based on the quality of his chances, Castro should only get better and better as his time among Europe’s best increases. And if that does prove to be the case, then Everton will face some battle on their hands to land his signature.
Calvert-Lewin, meanwhile, has matched his expected goals every step of the way in a mixed start to the campaign for a forward of his veteran. Whilst he remains an important figure at Goodison Park, he is certainly replaceable if the Toffees get things right when the summer transfer window arrives.

There’s no time to be getting carried away just yet, but those of a Celtic persuasion will no doubt be dreaming of securing a place in the Champions League knockout stage, following a largely positive start to their continental campaign this time around.
Life in Europe hasn’t always been particularly pleasant for the Old Firm giants in recent times, yet with four points racked up from their opening three league games, the signs are looking promising for the Hoops thus far.
Brendan Rodgers
Despite the scarring setback of the thumping defeat in Dortmund, Brendan Rodgers’ side – to their credit – rose to the occasion on their latest away trip to Atalanta, producing a stunning defensive display to keep the Europa League holders at bay.
For the first time since 2017, the Premiership outfit recorded a clean sheet in Europe’s premier competition, with the back line holding firm despite enduring a barrage from the Bergamo-based side – with one-time Chelsea man Mario Pasalic notably squandering five ‘big chances’.
To have produced that shut-out without the presence of Cameron Carter-Vickers in the starting lineup will certainly be encouraging for Rodgers and co, as too will the performance of his compatriot, Auston Trusty.
Auston Trusty's game in numbers vs Atalanta
In the absence of Carter-Vickers, Celtic’s £6m summer signing has been forced to slot in to an unorthodox right centre-back berth, with fellow left-footer Liam Scales operating on the opposite side.
Auston Trusty
That combination hasn’t been particularly fruitful in recent times, not least as the Parkhead side shipped seven in Germany earlier this month, while Trusty was also ‘not hugely convincing’ as Aberdeen fought back at the weekend, in the words of the Scotsman’s Mark Atkinson.
Questions were likely beginning to be asked regarding the merits of the club’s hefty investment, yet the former Sheffield United man has certainly moved to ease any concerns following last night’s titanic display.

14 clearances

Stats via Sofascore
The 26-year-old notably made 14 clearances as the visitors battled hard for the point, while he also showcased his ability on the ball after enjoying a 92% pass accuracy rate, having lost the ball on just three occasions.
Described as a ‘monster at the back’ by Atkinson – who awarded him a 10/10 match rating for his efforts – the one-time Arsenal man will hope to now build on this eye-catching performance which has helped to ignite his Celtic career.
The hope will also be that Trusty can help provide some solidity to a position that has endured real turbulence in recent years amid numerous incomings and outgoings, with one fellow centre-back currently shining elsewhere following a brief stint in Glasgow.
The former Celtic man who's worth more than Trusty
There has been something of a revolving door with regard to centre-backs at Celtic Park in recent years, with the likes of Nat Phillips, Gustav Lagerbielke and Yuki Kobayashi among those who have all come and gone.
Celtic defender Yuki Kobayashi
One man who also arrived and departed under Ange Postecoglou’s watch was one-time Fulham youth asset, Moritz Jenz, with the towering defender arriving on loan from Lorient in the summer of 2022.
With Postecoglou seeking cover for both Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt, the German giant was brought in on a temporary basis to bolster the ranks, going on to make 19 appearances in all competitions over the next six months, while scoring twice.
Likened to former Hoops star Christopher Jullien by pundit Michael Stewart, the “no-nonsense” loanee – as described by Frank McAvennie – later admitted it was a “dream” to play for the club, albeit with that adventure ultimately proving short-lived.
Having struggled to truly oust the first-choice pairing of Carter-Vickers and Starfelt – and with Kobayashi arriving in January – Jenz was ultimately allowed to depart at the start of 2023, moving on loan to Schalke for the remainder of the campaign.
Moritz Jenz
That was followed by a permanent move to Wolfsburg later that year, while the 25-year-old now finds himself on loan at fellow Bundesliga side Mainz, having started the last five league games for the club.
The Berlin native has seemingly thrived since moving on from Celtic Park almost two years ago, with that rise reflected by his current market value, which stands at €7.5m (£6.3m) – ahead of the aforementioned Trusty, who’s valued at €7m (£5.8m), according to Transfermarkt.

Football FanCast's Market Movers series explores the changing landscape of the modern transfer market. How much is your club's star player or biggest flop worth today?
While Rodgers is likely to be content with the current options at his disposal – particularly after last night’s showing – it is interesting to ponder what might have been had Jenz ultimately stayed longer in Scotland.
With the man himself having hinted that he would one day be open to a return to the club, perhaps that initial brief chapter can be resumed in the near future.

Sarah Taylor, the former England wicketkeeper, has been appointed as Team Abu Dhabi’s assistant coach for the upcoming Abu Dhabi T10 competition, which gets underway on 19 November.Taylor, who is also a specialist coach of the Sussex men’s team, has long been regarded as one of the best wicketkeepers in the history of the game, male or female.Her new role is a breakthrough moment in men’s franchise cricket, and follows the appointment of Julia Price as Brisbane Heat’s assistant coach in December 2019.”Coming into this franchise world, you get players and coaches coming in from all around the world where it may not necessarily be the norm but I’d love to think that some young girl or some woman watching can see me in the coaching team and realise that’s an opportunity and they can push for it, saying ‘If she can do it, why can’t I?’,” Taylor said.”I do hope that it becomes a little more normal and I may be the first [in a franchise role] but I won’t be the last. Coaching is my passion and it’s kind of going down the men’s route, which is really exciting.”I’ve never had issues in male environments and I enjoy the challenge. You always want to prove that you’re good enough, but that’s the same for any coach going into a new environment.”Taylor won two World Cups and the Women’s World T20 in a stellar career that encompassed a total of 226 caps for England. She will work alongside head coach Paul Farbrace during the tournament, with the former South Africa allrounder Lance Klusener – currently Afghanistan’s head coach at the men’s T20 World Cup – also on the coaching staff.Taylor also coaches at Bede’s School in Sussex, and in 2021 she came out of retirement to play for Welsh Fire in the Hundred, as well as Northern Diamonds in the Charlotte Edwards and Rachael Heyhoe Flint Cups. She remained open to further playing opportunities this winter, but says that the Abu Dhabi opportunity was too good to turn down.”It came completely out of the blue and it was an amazing surprise,” she said. “I’ve been counting down the days until I can get to Abu Dhabi and get going.”I cannot wait. As soon as I found out who the staff was, that made it even more exciting and it was a lightbulb moment that I would be stupid to miss out on the opportunity. I’ve got so much to learn, they’ve probably got so much to tell me and I’m very much going to be a sponge. I’ll have to be.”I’m going to sit there with a notebook and write as much as I can down. They know that as well, and will teach me so much as I’m at the start of my coaching career.”Shane Anderson, Abu Dhabi’s general manager, added: “Sarah brings a wealth of international experience and knowledge to the group and her appointment supports our desire to create a team culture of growth and inclusion, which ultimately sets a strong platform for success.”Team Abu Dhabi squad Chris Benjamin, Danny Briggs, Ahmed Daniyal, Fidel Edwards, Muhammad Farazuddin, Chris Gayle, Colin Ingram, Marchant de Lange, Liam Livingstone, Obed Mccoy, Rohan Mustafa, Naveen-ul-Haq, Phil Salt, Paul Stirling.
يخطط نادي توتنهام هوتسبير للتعاقد مع جناح جديد يُنظر إليه كخيار مثالي لتعويض رحيل محمد صلاح المحتمل عن ليفربول، في صفقة قد تشعل صراعًا بين الناديين خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية.
ويعد اللاعب هدفًا رئيسيًا في ليفربول، حيث رشحه بعض المحللين ليكون بديلًا لمهاجمه، محمد صلاح، بعدما قدم أداءً لافتًا هذا الموسم جذب أنظار الأندية الكبرى في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.
وذكر موقع “Caught Offside” أن توتنهام عازم على ضم لاعب بورنموث، أنطوان سيمينيو، حتى لو فشل في التأهل إلى البطولات الأوروبية، لكن ليفربول قد يتحرك بقوة في حال رحيل محمد صلاح الصيف المقبل.

ويواجه توتنهام تحديًا إضافيًا، حيث يسعى لتعزيز خط هجومه وسط احتمالية مغادرة ريتشارليسون إلى الدوري السعودي، ما يجعله بحاجة ماسة إلى تدعيم صفوفه.
في المقابل، يتمتع ليفربول بأفضلية بسبب موسمه القوي، حيث قد يصبح خيارًا أكثر جاذبية للاعب الباحث عن فرصة في فريق ينافس على الألقاب القارية والمحلية.
وقد أوصى مايكل أوين، مهاجم ليفربول السابق، بالتعاقد مع سيمينيو في تصريحات سابقة له ليكون البديل المثالي إذا رحل محمد صلاح، نظرًا لقدراته التهديفية ومهاراته في اللعب على الأطراف، ما يعزز اهتمام الريدز بضمه.
بينما يسعى توتنهام لإتمام الصفقة سريعًا، إلا أن الأمور قد تتعقد إذا قرر ليفربول التحرك بقوة، مستغلًا اسمه الكبير ومكانته في قمة ترتيب الدوري الإنجليزي لضمان التعاقد مع سيمينيو.
ويبقى الصراع مفتوحًا بين الناديين، حيث يعتمد القرار النهائي على العرض الأكثر إقناعًا ورغبة اللاعب في اختيار وجهته المستقبلية بين مشروعين مختلفين.
