اشتد الصراع بين بايرن ميونخ وآرسنال للتعاقد مع الدولي الإنجليزي، ديكلان رايس لاعب خط وسط وست هام يونايتد، رغم اهتمام تشيلسي.

وبحسب التقارير البريطانية، والصحفي الإيطالي المتخصص في سوق الانتقالات، فابريزيو رومانو، فإن آرسنال متخوف من اهتمام بايرن ميونخ بديكلان رايس.

ويأتي تخوف آرسنال من العملاق البافاري بسبب توماس توخيل، المدير الفني، حيث أنه مشجع كبير للاعب، ومتمسك بجلبه لملعب أليانز أرينا، وأن بطل الدوري الألماني على استعداد لدفع 100 مليون يورو للتعاقد مع رايس.

وينتظر آرسنال مباراة نهائي دوري المؤتمر الأوروبي، بين فيورنتينا الإيطالي ووست هام يونايتد الإنجليزي، الأربعاء المقبل، وسيقدم بعدها عرضا رسميًا، ولديهم ثقة بقدرتهم على إقناع اللاعب بالانتقال إليهم.

ويحاول آرسنال أيضًا التعاقد مع الإكوادوري مويسيس كايسيدو، صاحب الـ21 عاما، لاعب وسط برايتون، حيث يبدو رحيله مؤكد عن طيور النورس في الانتقالات الصيفية المقبلة.

عبر مدرب منتخب هولندا، رونالد كومان، عن رأيه في إمكانية عودة جناح باريس سان جيرمان، ليونيل ميسي، مرة أخرى إلى برشلونة مع بداية الموسم المقبل.

وينتهي عقد ميسي مع باريس سان جيرمان في 30 يونيو المقبل، ومن غير المتوقع أن يمدد الأرجنتيني بطل كأس العالم قطر 2022 وسيبحث عن وجهة أخرى.

وتحدث كومان عن الأمر خلال حواره مع شبكة “ESPN”، وقال: “لابورتا يريد حفظ ماء وجهه، لأنه معروف بالشخص الذي سمح لميسي بالرحيل”.

وتابع: “لا أعتقد أن ميسي سيعود إلى برشلونة، بوسكيتس سيغادر، ربما جوردي ألبا لن يبقى أيضًا، جميعهم أصدقاء، ولن أتفاجأ إذا ذهبوا إلى ميامي أو الدوري السعودي”.

وكشف الهولندي عن اندهاشه من خطط برشلونة لتطوير ملعب “كامب نو”، وقال: “أمر عجيب، لأن النادي يعاني من كثرة الديون”.

واختتم: “الوضع صعب، لأن يتعين على اللاعبين الاستمرار في تخفيض رواتبهم من أجل إنقاذ النادي، عليهم أن يقبلوا برواتب أقل، لأنه أعلى من المطلوب بكثير”.

Barisal Burners remained in the hunt for a final four finish after they secured an upset over Dhaka Gladiators

Mohammad Isam12-Feb-2013
ScorecardBarisal Burners remained in the hunt for a final four finish after they secured an upset over Dhaka Gladiators. The seven-wicket win was only their fourth win in the competition, and it stopped the Gladiators’ three-match winning run.Alauddin Babu picked up three wickets in his first BPL match while Azhar Mahmood continued to be the team’s most consistent player with three more. It helped the Burners bowl the Gladiators out for just 114 runs in 19.2 overs.It was a poor start from the form team that made all the difference. Mohammad Ashraful, who scored a hundred on Monday, and Tillekaratne Dilshan added 49 for the first wicket but the two aggressive batsmen went against their natural instincts. Their partnership took nearly 10 overs and by the time Dilshan fell, the Gladiators were struggling. It got worse when Shakib Al Hasan fell quickly and two overs later Ashraful’s run-out was another crucial moment.Anamul Haque and Darren Stevens made double figures but the rest folded quickly as Alauddin and Mahmood took control.The Burners reply began at a good rate but they lost three quick wickets. Brad Hodge and Sabbir Rahman then took charge, Hodge in particular as he made an unbeaten 70 off 44 balls with eight fours and three sixes.Their unbroken fourth wicket partnership of 68 runs finished off the match with more than six overs to spare and gave the Burners a very realistic chance of qualification as they still have two matches in hand.

Stuart Broad has arrived in New Zealand “fit and good” to return to England duty

ESPNcricinfo staff30-Jan-2013

Stuart Broad has arrived in New Zealand “fit and good” to return to England duty.Broad has not played since the second Test in Mumbai in November, where his 0 for 60 was his second consecutive wicketless Test. Broad was subsequently dropped for the second time in his career.A heel problem prevented his return as captain for the T20 series, which England drew 1-1 with Eoin Morgan leading the side, before snow denied him the chance to re-join his colleagues in India for the final two matches of the ODI series.The poor weather has hindered Broad’s training programme, so he is glad to be back in warmer climes, arriving a few hours ahead of the rest of the squad who travelled direct from India following Sunday’s final ODI.”I have not done any outdoor running because it has been a bit hazardous at home,” Broad said. “But I feel pretty good and look forward to getting going and excited to be here. With the snow back home it has been tricky to really test anything.”It was disappointing not to get out to India and do some outdoor bowling ready for this tour but we have plenty of time to do some work here leading into the warm-up games and the first Twenty20.”England play two warm-up matches on February 4 and 6 before the first of three T20s on February 9 in Auckland. It will be the first time Broad has captained England since they tumbled out of the World T20 at the Super Eights stage in October.Broad will be hoping for a return to form after averaging 39.72 with the ball and 14.00 with the bat in his last full Test series – against South Africa in July and August. He has also been short of one-day cricket having missed the ODI series with South Africa in September. His overs at the World T20 were taken for 7.42 runs each.Short of match-practise, Broad’s first task is to feel satisfied that his heel injury has recovered. “When you’ve not played cricket for five or six weeks, I suppose you go into a game a little bit unsure,” he said. “I have done quite a lot of treadmill running, and a lot of spinning, so I’m fit. I just need to test out the impact of it.”We’ve got well over a week till the first Twenty20 game, and that should be plenty to get it right.”Broad travelled to Adidas headquarters in Germany to have his boots moderated to help ease the strain. “I have had a bit of adjusting to the foam inside the boot and we will see how that goes outside,” he said. “But I have bowled five or six spells of six or seven overs indoors, which felt good. And you’d have thought indoor bowling would be as big a test on the heel as anything.”I feel fit and good, so where I am at now I feel ready to go.”Longer term for Broad there is the challenge of trying to regain his Test place in what is likely to be a three-man pace attack alongside James Anderson and Steven Finn. It was Finn who initially replaced Broad in India and then Tim Bresnan played the final Test although he is absent from this tour.Broad began 2012 in impressive form with consistent performances against Pakistan in the UAE and then claimed 11 wickets against West Indies at Lord’s before having less of an impact against South Africa and conceded being dropped in India was the right decision.”I’m quite relaxed, and I know that if I bowl well and hang in there and do the right things in training, then wickets come your way,” Broad said. “I had a really good start, first half of the year, and was the leading seamer in the world.”Then I went three innings without taking a wicket in India and lost my place. That happens and it was probably a good decision, looking back, to leave me out.”Finny came in and bowled really nicely. Then I picked up that little injury before the final Test match. Personally, the tour didn’t go ideally to plan. But we won the Test series and left happy.”

O meia Jean Mota quer ficar no Santos em 2019. O jogador de 25 anos se surpreendeu com a titularidade no amistoso contra o Corinthians, no último domingo, e disse, em conversa com o LANCE!, que sua situação está congelada neste momento. Polivalente, tem propostas para deixar o Alvinegro. O Bahia era o principal interessado, mas ainda não conseguiu fechar a negociação.

– Surpreendeu (a titularidade). Tive propostas para sair, falaram que eu iria ser emprestado. Ele chegou e confiou no meu trabalho e isso me deixa feliz. Ele preza estar todo mundo bem para entrar e dar conta do recado. Espero manter a sequência – disse o jogador à reportagem, e completou:

– Eu não sei ainda como serão as coisas. Presidente ainda não definiu a situação, está meio congelada, até pelo fato de que Sampaoli gostou de mim, tem me aproveitado. Procuro dar meu máximo no Santos. Deixo para meu empresário resolver essas questões. Meu desejo é ficar no Santos, time grande, time que briga por títulos. Espero fazer uma nova história aqui em 2019.

Jean Mota foi usado como meio-campista na partida contra o rival de Itaquera e, embora não tenha brilhado, deu assistência em lance que terminou com gol contra de Pedro Henrique. Além de meia, também pode ser usado na lateral-esquerda, um das posições carentes do elenco alvinegro neste momento.

O empresário de Jean, Diogo Silva, chegou a dar como certa a ida do jogador ao Bahia, mas o negócio esfriou com o início da pré-temporada de Samapoli no CT Rei Pelé. Com o desejo do jogador e a falta de reforços até o momento, é possível que Jean Mota seja mantido no elenco do Santos em 2019.

ESPNcricinfo’s preview of the second Test between Australia and Sri Lanka in Melbourne

Daniel Brettig25-Dec-2012Match factsShould Michael Clarke be absent, Usman Khawaja will return to Test match duty•Getty Images

December 26-30, MCG
Start time 1030 (2330 GMT)Big PictureAustralian cricket’s biggest day conjures up plenty of memories for the hosts, but only one painful recollection for the visitors. The MCG on Boxing Day was the scene of Darrell Hair’s fateful decision to call Muttiah Muralitharan for throwing, in a match that finished in a comfortable 10-wicket victory for Mark Taylor’s Australians. Back then, the result was entirely overshadowed by anger surrounding Hair’s decision, and the bitterness it engendered was to infect the rest of the tour. This time around there is no such issue burning away, though the ball tampering allegations that marked the latter stages of the Bellerive Oval match provided a reminder that Australia and Sri Lanka seldom oppose one another without something rancorous cropping up.Pushed into the final hour by Mahela Jayawardene’s tourists before claiming victory in Hobart, Australia seek a series win to conclude a year that has been moderately successful if not overwhelmingly so. They remain a team in development, and will take on an even more transitional look on Boxing Day should Michael Clarke not recover from a hamstring strain in time. His absence would hand the captaincy to Shane Watson, while opening the way for Usman Khawaja’s recall. The bowling attack has already been re-shaped, Mitchell Johnson and the debutant Jackson Bird shuffling into the spaces left by Ben Hilfenhaus (injured) and Mitchell Starc (unhappily rested).The Sri Lankans must defy a history of Test match underachievement in Australia if they are to keep the series alive. They have never won a five-day encounter down under, though in Hobart they came close to securing a stalemate. Melbourne and Sydney will afford the visitors pitches more useful to their cause than Hobart proved to be, with Rangana Herath a considerable threat on surfaces offering even a modicum of turn. The greater question for Sri Lanka will be which pacemen can step up to provide wicket-taking support – the lack of an effective pace spearhead has been the overwhelming reason behind their lack of a victory on these shores.Form guide(Most recent first)
Australia WLDDW
Sri Lanka LLWDDIn the spotlightEven if Shane Watson does not walk out to toss the coin on the first morning, he will be expected to contribute more substantially in this Test than either of the previous two. So far since his return from injury, Watson has looked a little out of sorts as a batsman, yet to go past 30 in four innings and struggling notably with Herath at Bellerive. Nonetheless, there were signs in Hobart that Watson is growing into more of a leader – his longer-than-usual bowling stints after Hilfenhaus was injured were critical to Australia’s ultimate success, even if the wickets column did not suggest it. Having played an undersung role in that result, Watson will now want his name in lights. A Boxing Day century, his first in Tests since 2010, would do that nicely.In his final series as captain, Mahela Jayawardene dearly wants to leave a Test match mark in Australia. The current outfit is doughty and persistent, but require an influential score by their leader in Melbourne to put Australia under the requisite pressure to push for victory. There are suggestions Jayawardene may have been distracted by a board dispute in recent days, while the ball tampering episode in Hobart indicated that this is a touring team that does not wish to go quietly. Having overcome all manner of squabbles and snares over his career, Jayawardene’s capacity to cope is well known. He has the Melbourne Test, and its expected influx of Sri Lankan supporters, to give Australia some headaches.Team newsClarke’s fitness remains the major question for Australia, and it appears more likely he will be saved for future contests rather than carrying a tender hamstring into the Test. Bird is set to debut as the owner of handsome records for Tasmania in Sheffield Shield cricket in general and at the MCG in particular.Australia 1 Ed Cowan, 2 David Warner, 3 Phillip Hughes, 4 Shane Watson, 5 Michael Clarke/Usman Khawaja, 6 Michael Hussey, 7 Matthew Wade (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Peter Siddle, 10 Nathan Lyon, 11 Jackson Bird.The tourists appear likely to enter the match unchanged from their Hobart combination, though Dhammika Prasad is on standby for Nuwan Kulasekara, who is still sore after a blow to the ribs in Hobart.Sri Lanka (probable) 1 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2 Dimuth Karunaratne, 3 Kumar Sangakkara, 4 Mahela Jayawardene (capt), 5 Thilan Samaraweera, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Prasanna Jayawardene (wk), 8 Nuwan Kulasekara, 9 Rangana Herath, 10 Shaminda Eranga, 11 Chanaka Welegedara.Pitch and conditionsMelbourne’s weather is forecast to be pleasantly temperate for the week, while the pitch is also on course to be even tempered, if a little lively early on. The ground’s new head curator David Sandurski has likened the Test strip to that played on by Victoria and South Australia in a November Shield fixture, in which the left-arm paceman Gary Putland plucked 12 wickets but Phillip Hughes cracked 158 on his way back to the national team.Stats and trivia Sri Lanka’s one previous Boxing Day visit to the MCG resulted in a 10-wicket defeat in 1995 – infamous as the match in which Muttiah Muralitharan was called for throwing by the umpire Darrell Hair If passed fit, Michael Clarke needs another 55 runs to better Ricky Ponting’s Australian record for most runs in a calendar year Kumar Sangakkara enters the match 40 short or passing 10,000 Test runsQuotes”It’s improving every day. I did a fair bit of running today in the indoor nets. A decision can’t be made today. I really need to wait and see how I pull up tomorrow morning.”
“I think we’ve been through a lot of hostile things in the past. 1995 was one thing, and even after that. I don’t think it will faze our guys at all. If anything that might give us a little extra.”

Responsável técnico do São Paulo, André Jardine deu sua primeira entrevista da temporada. Nos Estados Unidos, logo após o treino do Tricolor neste sábado, o comandante falou sobre o que espera de seus atletas durante o período de concentração na Flórida e deu pistas sobre o novo estilo de jogo da sua equipe.

– Quando decidimos vir para cá sabíamos desta condição, mas especialmente as coisas boas. Sabíamos deste ambiente, desta tranquilidade para trabalhar, este foco que conseguiremos ter aqui. A qualidade do hotel, dos campos nos oferece o ambiente perfeito para começar a trabalhar a equipe. Ter dois adversários deste nível vai nos colocar, com certeza, em um patamar maior para almejarmos grandes coisas no ano – comentou o treinador em entrevista para a Florida Cup TV.

O ex-auxiliar do Tricolor e agora técnico efetivado também falou um pouco sobre o que espera de sua equipe nesta temporada. Jardine deixou claro que o estilo de jogo do São Paulo será ofensivo. Por isso, a torcida pode esperar uma postura diferente daquela vista durante a maior parte de 2018, quando o time atuava nos contra-ataques.

– Será um São Paulo diferente. Um São Paulo com uma nova identidade, uma identidade mais agressiva, mais protagonista. Um São Paulo que vai entrar em todas as competições com grandes ambições, sempre com o pensamento de fazer grandes campanhas, excelentes resultados. O clube está se preparando para isso, está montando um elenco numeroso e qualificado para a gente recolocar o São Paulo onde ele sempre esteve – pontuou o treinador, deixando claro suas ideias para 2019.

Por fim, o técnico ainda fez questão de reiterar o elogio ao trabalho da diretoria durante as férias. O clube trouxe sete reforços: Pablo, Biro Biro, Tiago Volpi, Willian Farias, Igor Vinícius, Léo e, claro, Hernanes, uma das principais contratações do futebol brasileiro nesta janela.

Na visão do chefe do São Paulo, a chegada do Profeta coloca o Tricolor em outro patamar para a próxima temporada. Vale lembrar que a equipe disputa o Brasileirão, o Paulistão, a Copa do Brasil e tem a Copa Libertadores como seu grande objetivo na temporada.

– É uma referência dentro e fora de campo. É um jogador que tem um currículo que fala por si. Um jogador extremamente vencedor, que tem um profissionalismo altíssimo e, mais do que isso, uma ambição e uma vontade de vencer que o notabilizou por onde passou. Trazemos um ícone do clube ainda com muita energia, com muita fome e, com certeza, vai ser um jogador que ajudará na condução da equipe durante o ano todo – finalizou Jardine.

Ufa! O Campeonato Brasileiro de 2018, enfim, acabou.

Esse é o sentimento do torcedor do Corinthians, que viu sua equipe terminar a temporada de forma melancólica com mais uma derrota fora de casa, por 1 a 0, para o Grêmio. Mais uma partida sem balançar a rede adversária. Mais uma atuação ruim, também na parte defensiva. Ao menos ficou com uma vaga na Sul-Americana, graças ao empate entre Ceará e Vasco.

Após o épico título paulista no primeiro semestre, o Corinthians teve um restante de 2018 bem abaixo do esperado. É verdade que chegou à final da Copa do Brasil e perdeu para o bom time do Cruzeiro, mas sofreu no Brasileirão e chegou até a correr riscos de rebaixamento.

A expectativa agora é em relação a 2019, e o primeiro passo é definir o treinador. A tendência é de que o acerto para a volta de Fábio Carille seja concluído nesta terça-feira. Jair Ventura foi demitido nesta segunda pouco mais de três meses depois de ter sido contratado.

Há ainda a necessidade de reforçar o elenco. A própria diretoria prometeu a chegada de jogadores “prontos”, “de peso”, que cheguem para assumir a posição de titular. Para este ano, a estratégia foi apostar na contratação de jovens, o que não deu certo principalmente após as saídas de importantes jogadores no meio da temporada.

Até agora, quatro jogadores foram contratados. O lateral-direito Michel Macedo e o atacante Gustavo Silva já treinam com o elenco, enquanto o atacante André Luis (estava na Ponte Preta) e o volante Richard (estava no Fluminense) deverão ser anunciados nos próximos dias.

ESPNcricinfo’s preview of the 3rd Test between Australia and South Africa in Perth

Daniel Brettig29-Nov-2012Match factsShane Watson returns at a key moment for Australia•Getty Images

November 30-December 4, WACA ground
Start time 10:30 (02:30 GMT)Big PictureSpent. Exhausted. Drained. Cooked. Though most commonly applied to Peter Siddle, these words were also accurate enough descriptions of players on both sides at the end of an epic draw in Adelaide. A mere three days later Australia and South Africa are at it again, on a ground and a pitch likely to offer up a result after two stalemates in the first two Tests. Australia’s captain Michael Clarke has already labelled the match a ‘grand final’, while Dale Steyn spoke for the tourists when he conveyed their desire not to slink away from Australia with the No. 1 ranking still in their possession via the back-door of three draws.Australia’s challenge appears the most pronounced. Having thrown all they possibly could at South Africa across the first two Tests they have nothing to show for it but injuries and a creeping fatigue across most of the squad. This means the bowling attack that has strived so hard in Brisbane and Adelaide will have a decidedly different look at the WACA ground. Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc can both be expected to play, while Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus have been rested. Shane Watson’s return from a calf problem is welcome, but it remains to be seen how well grooved he is for a Test match having played only one first-class fixture – in which he was injured – since April. Then of course there is the matter of Ricky Ponting’s last Test. Clarke has the job ahead of him to keep his team focused and efficient despite their trials.South Africa, meanwhile, can style themselves as the boxer who has sat on the ropes and allowed their opponent to punch himself out before launching a definitive counter in the final round. While they lack the depth of bowling reinforcements Australia may call on, the return of Vernon Philander from a back niggle and the extra day and a half of rest afforded by Faf du Plessis’ magnificent rearguard in Adelaide suggest this will be a fresh enough attack to zing the ball around in Perth. Jacques Kallis remains an outside chance of playing as a batsman, having done so well under considerable duress in the second Test. A more accomplished and seasoned side entering this series, the tourists will hope to show their somewhat flat displays up to this point are not a true reflection of their worth. It’s a special Test for South Africa, their 200th since unity.Form guide(Most recent first)
Australia DDWDW
South Africa DDWDWIn the spotlightOne of the more pointed reactions to Ricky Ponting’s poor Adelaide Test match was the posting of a Youtube video overlaying his first-innings dismissal to Jacques Kallis across a Ponting endorsement for Swiss vitamins. No-one was more troubled by the sight of Ponting being bowled twice in the match than the man himself, and on the eve of the deciding Test he announced that he was retiring from international cricket. Ponting will bow out at the WACA ground, the venue of his Test debut in 1995, and he has the opportunity to take Australia where they have been for most of his 17-year career: to the No. 1 ranking in Tests.Operating at something slightly less than top gear for most of the first two Tests, Dale Steyn has so far endured one of the leanest series of his compelling career. Perth will provide an answer to whether Australia have blunted him effectively or whether Steyn has been saving his silver bullets for the series decider. The left-handers Ed Cowan, David Warner and Michael Hussey have helped curb Steyn’s effectiveness, and the return of Watson to the top three may actually encourage the fast man’s outswinger. In Steyn’s own opinion his greatest asset is durability, and he has the chance to prove it by bowling with greater vim in Perth than anyone else to have slogged through the whole of the series.Team newsShane Watson is guaranteed to return and Mitchell Johnson is also expected to be included for his first Test in a year. Both Siddle and Hilfenhaus have been left out of the final 12 because of their huge workloads in Adelaide.Australia (possible) 1 Ed Cowan, 2 David Warner, 3 Shane Watson, 4 Ricky Ponting, 5 Michael Clarke (capt), 6 Michael Hussey, 7 Matthew Wade (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Nathan Lyon, 10 Mitchell Starc, 11 Josh Hazlewood.Faf du Plessis may earn a promotion in the batting order after his Adelaide heroics, while Ryan McLaren’s all-round skills may be utilised if Jacques Kallis is not fit. Kallis, however, trained on the eve of the match and a final assessment will be made on Friday morning. Vernon Philander will return after a back complaint kept him out of Adelaide, and left-arm spinner Robin Peterson is likely to take Imran Tahir’s spot.South Africa (possible) 1 Graeme Smith (capt), 2 Alviro Petersen, 3 Hashim Amla, 4 Jacques Kallis, 5 AB de Villiers (wk), 6 Faf du Plessis, 7 Robin Peterson, 8 Vernon Philander, 9 Dale Steyn, 10 Rory Kleinveldt, 11 Morne Morkel.Pitch and conditionsThis year’s WACA pitch is expected to offer plenty of pace and bounce for the fast bowlers, but a little less seam movement than was available for last summer’s three-day affair between Australia and India. The weather forecast is for cool temperatures and the odd shower.Stats and trivia A victory for Australia would hand them the ICC’s No. 1 ranking in Tests, a position they last held in 2009. South Africa will retain top spot with a draw AB de Villiers is seven runs short of surpassing his coach Gary Kirsten’s tally against Australia, his 1134 runs in 10th place on the list of run-scorers in Tests between the two countries Ricky Ponting’s Test match average at the WACA – 41.43 – is his lowest among all of Australia’s major groundsQuotes”We played our heart out during the first two Tests. Now we have an opportunity to claim a series against the No. 1 team in the world with a winner-takes-all encounter. We’ve got nothing to lose. We win this Test and we become the No. 1-ranked team in the world.”
“We want to win the series. We didn’t come down to Australia to draw. We’ve played below what we are capable of but Australia have thrown everything they can at us and they still haven’t beaten us. If we can play to what our potential is, I think we will go home 1-nil.”

Não há qualquer alternativa para o Ceará na próxima quinta-feira (22) recebendo em seus domínios o último colocado Paraná que não seja vencer. Afinal, conseguir os três pontos significa ficar bem mais perto de garantir sua permanência na primeira divisão do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Em 14° colocado com 39 pontos, o Vozão tem somente duas unidades à frente do América-MG, que está na zona de rebaixamento. Ou seja, não ganhar combinado a um resultado positivo dos mineiros, Chapecoense ou mesmo o Vitória já deixam esses clubes com o mesmo número de pontos do Alvinegro de Porangabuçu.

Até mesmo por isso, o zagueiro Valdo relatou essa semana que não há dúvida dentro do plantel que existe a necessidade de ter máxima atenção diante do time paranista:

-Temos que respeitar o Paraná, mas precisamos impor nosso ritmo em casa para buscarmos uma vitória. Precisamos vencer para continuarmos firmes nesta luta para garantir o Ceará na primeira divisão. É um jogo decisivo e que não podemos errar. Vamos lutar muito para conquistar os três pontos.

Por sua vez, o Tricolor de Curitiba, mesmo já com seu destino traçado para 2019, quer encerra de maneira digna o Brasileirão e vai contar com o retorno de quatro atletas normalmente titulares: O goleiro Richard, o volante Alex Santana, o meia Andrey e o atacante Silvinho, todos eles voltando de suspensão automática. Por questõesfísicas, o lateral-esquerdo Mansur e o meia Rodrigo Carioca serão baixas para Dado Cavalcanti na capital cearense.
