Em um clássico gaúcho da décima rodada da Série B, o Internacional despachou o Brasil de Pelotas, em pleno Bento de Freitas, por 1 a 0, na noite deste sábado. O gol foi marcado pelo volante Fabinho.

A vitória dos comandados de Guto Ferreira faz o Inter calar um hiato de três empates e dois jogos sem marcar. Além disso, o triunfo sobre o Rubro-Negro recoloca o Colorado no G4, agora em terceiro com 17 pontos.

Ele pode ser ultrapassado apenas pelo Guarani, que recebe o Náutico ainda neste sábado. Já o Brasil está em oitavo, com 14. O líder da Série B é outra equipe gaúcha, o Juventude, que tem 19 e empatou com o Londrina, fora de casa em 2 a 2. O G4 tem ainda o Vila Nova, em segundo. O Tigre venceu o clássico com o Goiás e tem 18 pontos.

O Inter entrou em campo disposto a decidir logo a partida. O Inter não tinha o artilheiro Nico López, mas contava com Eduardo Sasha. Recém recuperado de uma lesão que o tirou dos gramados por seis meses, ele queria mostrar que ainda tem o seu valor e infernizava a defesa adversária.

Apesar disso, foi o volante Fabinho quem marcou, aos 38, em chute cruzado após passe de D’Alessandro. Além dos citados, também vale destacar as ótimas exibições de Edenilson e Charles.

Na etapa complementar, o Brasil até adiantou a marcação e partiu para cima, mas o Inter continuava com o jogo sob controle. O Colorado deu um bom chute com D’Alessandro e viu o Pelotas começar a gostar do jogo na casa dos 20 minutos, quando Lincom deu uma cabeçada venenosa.Logo depois, Wender cobrou uma falta com curva e Danilo Fernandes brilhou.O Inter se segurou, perdeu dois gols feitos com Cirino e Diego e manteve o 1 a 0.

When it comes to the injury front at Wolverhampton Wanderers, they’ve hardly had luck pouring out of their ears.

Nuno Santo’s final season at Molineux was marred by a number of fitness issues to his best players as Wolves suffered considerably without the likes of Raul Jimenez.

The Mexican was missing from November 2020 onwards after suffering a fractured skull and has only just returned to action.

They are still missing Pedro Neto who suffered a setback in his quest to recover.

Bruno Lage has also tasted similar pills in recent weeks. He was without a number of players in the early weeks of the campaign with Neto sitting on the sidelines alongside Daniel Podence, Yerson Mosquera, Willy Boly and Jonny.

However, in positive news, Podence returned in the 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest and he is set to be joined by Boly and Mosquera.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the game with Manchester United, Lage said: “Yerson [Mosquera] and Boly started to work with us. That’s the good news. And Daniel [Podence] played 60 minutes on Tuesday night at a good level, scored one goal, so that’s three more top players with us.

“It’s very good to have them back and for them to be on the pitch and everyone to be working hard to be better.”

This is a huge boost for the Old Gold who have been working with an extremely limited squad this season.

Lage admitted before their match with Spurs that they’d been training with just 15 senior players so the returning members will add a great deal to the senior group.

Podence’s goalscoring return in midweek bodes well given that the Molineux outfit are yet to score in the league this term. Mosquera, meanwhile, looks a promising player and will bolster their limited defensive options.

Yet, it’s Boly who will be the biggest boost. The Frenchman has been a rock at the back for Wolves throughout the years and we saw just how big a miss and influence he was last season.

During a three-month layoff due to an ankle problem last term, Wolves played 15 league matches and kept just one clean sheet in that timeframe. Once the defender returned, they didn’t concede over the next 283 minutes of league action.

They had let in 13 goals in their last eight league games without him but conceded only two in their first six matches after he was back.

To see him return to the matchday squad on Sunday, especially against Man United, will be extremely handy. Lage should be elated to see his face once again.

AND in other news, Boly returns, £37k-p/w dud axed in 8 changes: Wolves predicted XI vs Man United…

Jamie Cox, the former Tasmania captain, will continue as a national selector despite his appointment as South Australia’s high performance manager. Cox was confirmed as Rod Marsh’s successor by the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) on Saturday.Currently a group sport manager at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, Cox will move to Adelaide at the end of September. “I will be [staying on as a selector] at this stage”, Cox told the . “They look to be complementary roles that both require watching a lot of cricket and I may as well be doing that based in Adelaide as based in Canberra.”However, questions might be asked about Cox’s continuation as selector since Andrew Hilditch, the chairman of the panel, is also involved with South Australia as a board member. The shuffling of selectors Hilditch, Cox, David Boon and Merv Hughes to watch as many domestic games as possible may be hampered, so will the rotation for overseas tours.”Quite possibly [there will be obstacles to keeping both jobs], there will be some times when I need to be back here at the Adelaide Oval and we’ll need to manage that over the season, plus the issue of having two selectors based in Adelaide,” Cox said. The likes of Marsh, Greg Chappell, Wayne Phillips, Andrew Sincock and Jamie Siddons haven’t had the best of times while on coaching assignments with South Australia, but Cox is nonetheless confident.”Yes it is [a big job], but I don’t know … I think South Australia have made some positive moves. The squad they’ve set-up for this season looks quite strong,” Cox said. South Australia last won a first-class competition in 1995-96, and they haven’t made it to a final since then, nor won any limited-overs titles.”I know a lot of people are expecting there to be pain, and but I don’t know if there has to be – there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be aiming to be successful side and winning trophies over the next few years.”To “plug the gap” between age-level teams to grade and then state and national levels is a goal Cox highlighted. South Australia’s under-17 and under-19 teams have performed consistently well even as their senior side has faltered. “I will be having a look at everything,” Cox said. “This role goes right down to the grass roots, all the steps along the pathway to the state side and then the national side and if there are gaps in that pathway I want to work to plug them.”

Que o ex-meia Giovanni é um dos principais jogadores da história do Santos, isso não resta a menor dúvida. E se existe um adversário que ele conhece muito bem, esse é o Paysandu, adversário do Peixe nesta quarta-feira à noite, pelas oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil, na Vila Belmiro. Afinal, além de ser de Belém e de ter muitos familiares torcedores do Papão, o antigo camisa 10 marcou um de seus últimos gols pelo Alvinegro praiano justamente contra o adversário de hoje.

– Sabia que tinha feito um jogo contra o Paysandu, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, em 1995. Marquei até um gol, em Belém. Acho que foi despedida do Robinho. Foi importante, fazia tempo que eu não jogava lá. Jogar pelo Santos contra um clube do Pará, que é de onde eu sou, foi muito bom. É um lugar onde está toda a minha família, muitos torcendo pelo Paysandu – comentou Giovanni durante uma noite de autógrafos com os torcedores na Santos Store da Rua Augusta, na noite desta terça-feira.

O jogo a que o ex-meia se refere aconteceu no Brasileirão de 2005, em Belém. Na ocasião, o Santos venceu o Papão por 3 a 2, com um gol do Messias. O duelo também marcou a saída de Robinho do Peixe, afinal, o atacante já estava negociado com o Real Madrid.

Para o duelo desta quarta-feira, Giovanni não vai estar presente na Vila Belmiro. Apesar de estar morando em Santos, o ex-jogador já tinha uma viagem marcada justamente para Belém. Alguns amigos da capital paraense até já tinham combinado de assistirem ao duelo com o Messias na Vila, mas não será possível. Mesmo assim, ele deu seu palpite.

– O Santos ganha, acho que por 3 a 1. Quando a gente gosta de futebol, sempre tentamos acompanhar a maioria das equipes, mas, com certeza, o time do Santos é superior. Mas futebol é jogado dentro de campo, não tem uma lógica – avaliou o ex-jogador.

No evento desta terça-feira, Giovanni recebeu centenas de torcedores, tirou fotos, gravou vídeos e emocionou muitos deles. Muitas famílias apareceram em peso, com avós, pais e netos.

– É uma ligação muito boa com os torcedores. Tenho um carinho muito grande pela torcida, e ela por mim. Sempre nos lugares onde vou, os torcedores me cumprimentam pelo o que fizemos em 1995. Fico muito feliz em poder fazer parte desse clube, é muita honra. É sempre bom participar de eventos com os torcedores – concluiu o ídolo.

Leeds United are plotting a record-breaking transfer move for Sampdoria star Mikkel Damsgaard.

What’s the story?

Reports in recent weeks have suggested that Marcelo Bielsa’s team are one of the sides interested in signing the Denmark attacker, with Turkish publication Sabah claiming that the Yorkshire club, along with the likes of Barcelona, Juventus and Liverpool, among others, are all interested in landing him too.

And now, according to Il Bianconero (via Sport Witness), Leeds are pushing hard to get him to England this summer, although it will not come cheap.

The report claims that Sampdoria president, Massimo Ferrero, will not sell him unless he gets a good offer, and that’s said to be more than €30m (£26m).

Bielsa will be buzzing

Having splashed out a club-record fee of £26m to land Rodrigo from Valencia last summer, a move for Damsgaard would have to end up being a record-breaking one for Leeds, given Ferrero’s reported stance on the matter.

But, given his performances for both club and country, it would be money well spent.

Dubbed as “magical” by Norwegian football expert Martin Mikkelsen, he also added that the 21-year-old is “dynamic and can go both ways. He is creative but also so mature in his decisions.”

The £26m-rated star has also been hailed as being “phenomenal” by Denmark teammate, Kasper Schmeichel, for his performances at EURO 2020 over the summer – Damsgaard of course struck that superb free-kick in the semi-finals against England.

After hearing about the links to the Dane, former Leeds man Noel Whelan raved about the prospect of him arriving at Elland Road.

He said: “Wow, now he would be a signing. From what I have seen, he is the next big thing coming out of Denmark. Again, we are looking at players who are the right age and of the right profile. Somebody who would compliment what Marcelo Bielsa already has.

“Leeds nowadays are very intense and aggressive in their style of play and fitness plays a huge part. He looks to me as if he could do that as well, which is important because it’s not just about the little flicks. Damsgaard is a very exciting prospect. If we could get that deal over the line it would show just how far we’ve come in the last couple of years.”

With his ability to play all across the front positions, and the fact he’s only 21, Damsgaard appears to be the kind of perfect, versatile signing that Bielsa will love at Elland Road.

Meanwhile, Phil Hay has dropped an exciting Leeds United transfer update…

Wolves winger Adama Traore will probably cost £35-40m this summer, journalist Luke Hatfield has told Football FanCast.

Traore has been heavily linked with a move away from Molineux, with Chelsea thought to be one team currently circling.

According to The Athletic, the west London club have an interest in the 25-year-old, who could give Thomas Tuchel the kind of attacking threat down the right flank he is looking for.

Traore has just two years left on his contract, so this could be Wolves’ last opportunity to make good money off of the Spaniard.

When asked by FFC how much Wolves could sell him for, Hatfield of the Express & Star said:

“His contract makes it murky, doesn’t it? I’d say probably a similar amount to [Ruben] Neves, 35, maybe £40m.

“He’s a young player, so he can still improve. But the contract situation, as I said, makes it murky.”

It is not the £80m price tag that has floated around in the past, but selling Traore for half of that would still be good business from a financial point of view.

Wolves signed Traore for £18m from Middlesbrough back in 2018 after meeting a release clause in his contract, so the Midlands club would still obviously be making a profit.

A diretoria do Palmeiras decidiu parar de divulgar a lista de relacionados para os jogos. A medida começou a valer nesta sexta-feira e durará por tempo indeterminado. O motivo não foi especificado.

Os concentrados para o duelo contra o Audax, às 16h deste sábado, no Allianz Parque, portanto, não serão informados aos torcedores. Normalmente, o clube fazia a divulgação por seu site oficial um dia antes das partidas, prática comum na maioria das equipes do futebol brasileiro.

Para o duelo deste fim de semana, o mistério não será tão grande, já que Eduardo Baptista confirmou a escalação no treino: Jailson, Fabiano, Antônio Carlos, Vitor Hugo e Zé Roberto; Thiago Santos; Róger Guedes, Michel Bastos, Tchê Tchê e Keno; Alecsandro.

Os desfalques são Mina, Guerra, Dudu e Borja (com suas seleções), Jean e Arouca (machucados), Edu Dracena e Felipe Melo (poupado).

Entre os inscritos no Paulistão, restamFernando Prass, Vinicius Silvestre, Egídio, Vitinho, Rafael Marques, Raphael Veiga, Willian e Erik. Essa deverá ser a composição do banco de reservas. A única dúvida é se Fernando Prass será poupado ou ficará como opção.

Atlético-MG e Chapecoense se enfrentam pela terceira rodada da Primeira Liga, nesta quarta-feira de cinzas, às 19:30, na Arena Condá. Hyuri, que era especulado no time, está de volta ao futebol chinês e não participará da partida.

Para o Verdão do Oeste, basta uma vitória contra o Atlético para garantir vaga na segunda fase. Além da vaga, a Chape ainda teria uma verba adicional aos seus cofres.Na tabela da competição, O Atlético ocupa a vice-liderança, com uma vitória e uma derrota, e a Chape vem logo depois, com apenas um ponto, conquistado no empate contra o Joiville, na primeira rodada.

Visualizando um maior aproveitamento do time, o diretor de futebol da Chapecoense, Maringá, acredita que disputar a partida com o elenco que vai jogar a Libertadores é uma ótima forma de treinar o time. Apesar disso, a lista de jogadores será divulgada minutos antes da partida.

Enquanto isso, o Atlético-MG vai à Arena Condá com um time alternativo, formado por Uilson; Carlos Cesar, Jesiel, Natan e Leonan; Yago, Ralph, Carlos Eduardo e Cazares; Clayton e Rafael Moura. A única modificação que deve ser feita pelo técnico é a entrada de Felipe Santana no lugar de Natan.

A major update has emerged on Stoke forward Lee Gregory, regarding Sheffield Wednesday’s interest in his services. 

According to Football League World, the Owls are poised to land the Stoke City centre-forward this summer. Gregory’s contract at Stoke expires at the end of the month and he is set to become a free agent in July.

Sheffield Wednesday are now looking to pounce on the former Millwall forward. The report claims that Hillsborough is the most likely destination for the attacker as it stands, with Darren Moore on the verge of adding him to his squad.

Back in 2019, former Millwall boss Neil Harris lavished praise on the “quality” attacker as he was heading for the exit door at The Den. He told London News Online:

“I can only thank him for his efforts while I’ve been in charge.

“Not just his goal-scoring record, but his quality as a person. 

“He is hugely, hugely popular in the changing room, massively popular with the staff because of his honesty, his trust, his performances and his work ethic. And he’s a fan favourite as well.”

In signing him, Dejphon Chansiri could land a major boost for Sheffield Wednesday.

Amidst all the bad news surrounding the club, with the unpaid wage situation, this could be a timely piece of positive news for Wednesday fans to enjoy. With Jordan Rhodes leaving the club at the end of the month, Moore is currently on course to have zero natural centre-forwards in his squad heading into next season. This means that adding a striker to the mix is a much-needed move.

The £12k-per-week dynamo has experience of delivering in League One. In two seasons in the third tier for Millwall, Gregory scored an exceptional 35 goals in 78 games, whilst also providing nine assists for his teammates.

This means that he is a proven goalscorer in the third tier and could help fire Sheffield Wednesday to promotion if he is able to rediscover his best form and settle in under the coaching of Moore. Therefore, fans should be buzzing that the club are on course to sign a proven player for their level.

Gregory would also arrive as a striker who has proven himself in the Championship. The 32-year-old scored four goals in nine starts for Stoke and Derby in the season just gone and has had four seasons of scoring six or more Championship goals in his career – hitting double figures twice for Millwall.

This shows that he is a useful player in the second tier and could be a valuable player for Wednesday to have if they are able to return to the division at the first attempt next season.
