Arsenal fell at the last hurdleCity went on to third-successive PL title winAdams feels Emery could've done betterGettyWHAT HAPPENED?

Instead it was Mikel Arteta in the dugout at the Emirates Stadium, as it has been since December 2019 – when he took over from Emery. Arteta was unable to take advantage of a whopping 248 days in top spot during the 2022-23 season, with Arsenal falling to three defeats and three draws in their final nine league games and City going on to triumph for the third-straight Premier League season. However, had current Villa boss Emery been at the helm, Adams feels it could've been a different story.

AdvertisementWHAT ADAMS SAID

The former Gunners centre-back told : "Last year, weirdly if Unai Emery was our manager then we could have perhaps won the league. I know he didn’t stick around and following Arsene Wenger was difficult, a bit like George Graham being followed by Bruce Rioch [in 1995]. I think he [Arteta] missed a few bits last season to get us over the line. I love him. I love his passion and enthusiasm. I’ve always said he’s a little bit inexperienced and perhaps needs to draw on someone in his staff who is a little more experienced. I’m talking about going across the line last season. We all make mistakes and aren’t perfect. He perhaps didn’t rotate players early enough last season. People were running out of steam, like Bukayo Saka. I think he’s doing great.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Indeed, while Arsenal faltered at the back end of last season, and have fluctuated at points this campaign, Emery's Villa have been on a steady charge ever since he joined. Per , the four-time Europa League winner has won an incredible 77 points from his first 38 league games in charge – a stark contrast to the 44 gained from the previous 38 before Emery. Villa's most recent victory came at Tottenham on Sunday, where an Ollie Watkins strike sealed a 2-1 comeback victory for the West Midlands side.

Após o ex-presidente do Flamengo Eduardo Bandeira de Mello declarar que a tragédia do Ninho do Urubu dificilmente teria ocorrido sob a sua gestão, há movimentação nos bastidores que pode levá-lo à expulsão do quadro social do clube. Isso porque,o Grupo Vanguarda Rubro-Negra, do ex-candidato à presidência pela chapa branca, Marcelo Vargas, protocolou no conselho de administração do Fla um pedido de inquérito contra as recentes declarações do antigo mandatário.

Em carta (veja na imagem abaixo) emitida pelo grupo político, a fala de Bandeira é tida como “inconsequente”, “absurda” e motivadora de um “prejuízo de grande repercussão negativa para o Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, em um momento de crise mundial, onde toda a sociedade está fragilizada por uma pandemia que vem ceifando vidas e que trará sequelas à economia mundial”.

No documento, ainda é questionado o “real interesse” de Bandeira de Mello, que, de acordo com o Vanguarda Rubro-Negro, poderia estar se “aproveitando do cargo exercido recente no Flamengo, objetivando de usá-lo em sua campanha político-partidária”. O ex-presidente, cabe sublinhar, é pré-candidato a prefeito do Rio de Janeiro pela Rede.

Em tempo: é citado o artigo 49 do estatuto, que prevêsuspensão de até 360 dias ou eliminação do referido.

POSICIONAMENTO DA ATUAL DIRETORIA

Sobre a tal declaração, o Flamengo já se manifestou através de uma nota oficial, assinada pelo atual presidente Rodolfo Landim, por Antônio Alcides Pinheiro da Silva (presidente do Conselho Deliberativo), por Bernardo Amaral do Amaral (presidente do Conselho de Administração), por Moysés Saul Akerman (presidente do Conselho de Grandes Beneméritos), por Sebastião Pedrazzi (presidente do Conselho Fiscal) e por Marcelo Conti Baltazar (presidente da Assembleia Geral do clube).

O Rubro-Negro explica os motivos do indiciamento de Bandeira e reproduz o que foi constatado pelas autoridades policiais no inquérito que apura a responsabilidade pelo incêndio no centro de treinamento.

– Não é crível que o ex-presidente Eduardo Bandeira de Mello tivesse deixado de tomar conhecimento da interdição do CT e dos consequentes autos de infração, tendo preferido este dirigente com domínio final do fato ignorar as determinações estatais, as quais, caso tivessem sido atendidas, teriam poupado as vidas dos jovens atletas – diz um trecho da nota, reproduzindo o que fora registrado pela autoridade policial.

Mais recentemente, precisamente no sábado, Marcos Braz, vice-presidente de futebol do clube, lamentou a opinião de Bandeira e não mediu palavras:

– O presidente Bandeira de Mello foi muito infeliz nas declarações que fez na semana passada. Foi uma declaração covarde ou até mau caráter. Não sei se foi uma atitude de mau caráter ou de oportunismo – afirmou Braz, que também defendeu a gestão de Rodolfo Landim.

– Ele como ex-presidente não poderia dar essa declaração. Foi na gestão dele que contrataram aquele contêiner, que as crianças estavam lá e chegaram todas as notificações da prefeitura – finalizou.

The Gunners have brought in several players from the South American nation down the years, but how have they fared in north London?

Arsenal have taken a shine to Brazilian talent again during the summer transfer window of 2022, with a potential star Marquinhos brought in before a big-money deal was completed with Manchester City for Gabriel Jesus.

The Gunners have also been linked with Leds winger Raphinha, with a theme running through their recruitment which suggests South American flair features prominently in their thoughts.

Plenty of performers from that part of the world have passed through north London down the years – filling roles from full-back to centre-forward – but who were those Samba stars and how did they fare in English football? GOAL takes a look…

Made history in 1999 when becoming the first Brazilian to sign for Arsenal as a move from Corinthians was completed.

Succeeded club legend Nigel Winterburn as the Gunners’ go-to option at left-back and would make a total of 80 appearances across two seasons before being snapped up by Celta Vigo after making the PFA Team of the Year made in his final campaign.

Gilberto Silva

Caught Arsenal’s eye when helping Brazil to World Cup glory in 2002, and a transfer from Atletico Mineiro was put in place immediately after that tournament.

Slotted into the Gunners’ midfield alongside Patrick Vieira and would outstay the legendary Frenchman as a key holding component for Arsene Wenger.

By the time he left to join Panathinaikos in Greece in 208, he'd won a Premier League title and two FA Cup triumphs across six seasons and 244 appearances.

Na próxima quarta, às 19h30, o Corinthians mede forças com o Ceará, no Castelão, pela 37ª rodada do Brasileirão. Enquanto o Timão jogará para se garantir na Copa Libertadores do ano que vem, os nordestinos entrarão em campo para se manterem na Série A em 2020. Diante desta situação e da possibilidade de queda do Cruzeiro – um dos grandes que ainda não foram rebaixados – parte da torcida alvinegra pede para que a equipe entregue a partida em Fortaleza.

A ideia, apesar de ter sido bem aceita por parte dos torcedores do Corinthians que, inclusive, colocaram a hashtag #entregaCorinthians como um dos assuntos mais comentados do Twitter, não foi bem recebida pelos jogadores. Na verdade, o elenco do Timão rechaçou qualquer possibilidade de não entrar em campo em busca da vitória.

-Desde quando eu comecei a jogar futebol, nunca entrei em campo para entregar partida. Somos homens de caráter. E não vamos, nem podemos fazer isso por respeito com a nossa camisa. Temos um objetivo ainda muito grande neste Brasileirão, que é a vaga na Libertadores. Grupo focado em jogar para vencer a todo momento – afirmou o volante Gabriel em entrevista no estádio do Pici, onde o Timão encerrou sua preparação para enfrentar o Vozão.

Para isso, basta uma vitória na noite da próxima quarta. O duelo deve ter o Castelão lotado, visto que o clube cearense decide seu futuro na próxima temporada nesta partida.

There will be no shock selections in England’s squad for the first Investec Ashes Test to be named at Lord’s on Wednesday

George Dobell30-Jun-20154:11

Great Ashes Moments – Jimmy and Monty save England at Cardiff 2009

There will be no shock selections – no Ashton Agar or Darren Pattinson – in England’s squad for the first Investec Ashes Test to be named at Lord’s on Wednesday.While the arrival of a new coach might provide a wildcard element to the process, it would be brave to the point of insanity if Trevor Bayliss started his new role by making dramatic changes to an England side that have won five and lost two of their last eight Tests. Especially as he has spent most of his first few days of the job in Spain.In truth, selection for the first Test is probably as predictable as at any time since Andy Flower was coach. Mark Wood has earned the right to go into the series as first-change seamer and Adam Lyth will open the batting. Gary Ballance will not be dropped after a couple of modest games and a couple of excellent deliveries.The only issue open to any sort of debate is the position of the spinner. While it seems highly likely that Moeen Ali will play in Cardiff, it is quite possible that Adil Rashid, the Yorkshire legspinner, will be included in the squad with a view to Bayliss taking a look at him in training and for him to gain more familiarity with the Test squad.Probable England squad

Alastair Cook (capt), Adam Lyth, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (wk), Moeen Ali, Stuart Broad, Mark Wood, James Anderson, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett/Mark Footitt

The attraction of Rashid is not just his bowling. It is what he represents. While offspinners appear – rightly or wrongly – to be associated with attrition, control and safety, legspinners evoke attack, positivity and aggression. Rashid’s selection may well reflect the public appetite to attack.But it remains likely that the selectors will keep faith with Moeen. While he did not enjoy a good Caribbean tour – he was a late addition to the squad due to injury and looked rusty throughout – his bowling in last summer’s victory over India was exactly what England required. He combined control with an element of threat, gaining sharp dip and demonstrating an arm-ball that was not so different to Graeme Swann’s. If he bowls as well this summer, he will be fine. If he bowls as he did in the Caribbean, he will be dropped.Rashid, by comparison, is significantly slower through the air and has not, to this point in his career, offered the same levels of consistency. He will turn the ball both ways, even in the first innings, and he may prove dangerous for tailenders, in particular.But the concern – and it is a reasonable concern – is that, with a four-man seam attack containing two fairly inexperienced and potentially expensive fast bowlers, it will be important for the spinner to maintain some control and bowl some tight overs in unhelpful conditions. In order to do that, he will require assistance from his captain. Alastair Cook has many positive qualities but he has yet to demonstrate a huge amount of imagination in the field. Rashid’s inclusion would represent quite a challenge for him.Rashid’s exposure to the England squad over the winter appears to have been helpful, however. He is bowling with just a little more pace and is conceding almost an identical number of runs per over as Moeen this season. He was one of the successes of the ODI series against New Zealand and is certainly a viable option. If his Test debut does not come this summer, it surely will in the UAE against Pakistan later this year.Adil Rashid could come into contention for the Cardiff Test after impressing in the ODIs against New Zealand•Getty Images

Despite the much-repeated myth that Moeen is a “part-time” bowler, it is not so. Since the start of the 2012 season, he has bowled more deliveries in first-class cricket than Rashid or even a county stalwart such as Gareth Batty. His bowling average in that time is also better than Rashid’s. Even this season, Moeen has bowled more overs in first-class cricket than Rashid and his record in Test cricket this year – 11 wickets in four Tests at an average of 41.63 – is not quite as grim as some might suggest.Could both play? It seems unlikely. Despite the warm weather and the fact that England picked both Monty Panesar and Graeme Swann for the Cardiff Test of 2009, it is more likely that England will rely on Joe Root and perhaps Lyth for additional overs if required. There is a distant possibility of omitting Ballance to accommodate both spinners but it would be a major surprise. It is 30 years since England picked two spinners in a home Test and won.Jonny Bairstow, plundering runs in all formats, can count himself unlucky if, as expected, he does not make the squad. But he is making a strong case as a batsman, averaging 106.00 in the Championship this year, and has probably moved to the position of first reserve ahead of James Taylor, Alex Hales or Eoin Morgan.The reserve bowlers, the likes of Liam Plunkett and Mark Footitt, will have to wait, too. While England will hope to play James Anderson and Stuart Broad in all five Tests, it seems Wood may require rotating. The presence of the allrounder, Ben Stokes, should ease the burden a little but Wood’s unique selling point – his explosive quality – needs to be preserved. Footitt, with his pace and his swing harnessed by the coaching of Graeme Welch, could yet prove to be the most influential left-arm pace bowler in the series. It would be quite a story.

Full text of BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur’s letter in response to claims of his being in contact with an alleged bookie

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Apr-2015Dear Mr Srinivasan,The BCCI has received intimation from the ICC ostensibly under your direction that I should keep away from one Mr Karan Gilhotra who is a ‘suspected bookie.’ The intimation further states that the information is unverified. I have earlier been the joint secretary of the BCCI under your president-ship and I am now secretary, BCCI. I only wish that you had shared the list of ‘unverified suspected bookies’ with me and other colleagues so that we could identify such persons and keep away from them. I have known this person who has been active in the political and cricketing activities in Punjab and adjacent states. I had no knowledge or any clue about his ‘activities as a suspected bookie.’It is curious that intimation about my having known this ‘suspected bookie’ was brought to the ICC notice by your friend Mr Neeraj Gundhe. Mr Neeraj Gunde incidentally is circulating to the media in Delhi the details of documents against your critics in the BCCI. He operates on your behalf. A procured complaint and an ICC advisory based on ‘unverified information’ was issued at your behest on the eve of the BCCI working committee meeting. It was intended to be a counter offensive on your behalf, since you have not reconciled with my election as secretary, BCCI. I would request at least now share with me or other colleagues in BCCI the list of suspected bookies in India, so that we may keep away from them. You may also share this information with your family members, whose involvement in betting has been proved.Since the ICC advisory to me had been made in public, I would be making this letter to you public.With regards,Yours sincerely,Anurag Thakur

Apart from their first names and left-handedness, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson share something else in common – their own batsmen hate the thought of facing up to them in the nets

Daniel Brettig in Sydney05-Jan-20156:40

Bevan: Selectors got it a little wrong by rotating Starc

Apart from their first names and left-handedness, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson share something else in common – their own batsmen hate the thought of facing up to them in the nets.Johnson’s speed and awkward bounce are well known, but Starc’s attributes are exceedingly similar. He bowls at his very fastest in practice, curving the new ball late and into the stumps when he’s not banging in bouncers that threaten arms, gloves and heads at around 150kph. At the SCG the time around, one bending, piercing yorker spreadeagled Brad Haddin’s stumps in the most comprehensive manner imaginable, while a bumper left Shane Watson losing his footing as he lurched late underneath it.The difference between the two is that while Johnson has learned how to take this sort of terrifying stuff from the nets to the middle, Starc is still battling to find a way of doing so. His Test match appearances to date have been fleetingly brilliant but more commonly muted.A five-wicket haul against South Africa at the WACA Ground in November 2012 came at a cost – 6 for 154 from 28.5 overs, most of Starc’s wickets collected after Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla had rushed the game away from Australia by dominating him. As bowling analyses go, it was more Pyrrhic than perfect.As with all of Starc’s Test match appearances since Johnson re-emerged as a bowler reborn at the start of last summer, that WACA match was played alongside his more experienced fellow lefty. Without the new ball or a clear role as a strike bowler, Starc has given the appearance of a singer forgetting the words to a familiar tune. Not only has Starc’s bowling slipped from the standards glimpsed in the nets or limited overs formats, but his body language has also taken on the apologetic, slightly lost air of the late ring-in at a house party.”It’s interesting,” Chris Rogers said of a bowler he is happy to avoid in training. “He is a strike bowler, so hopefully he could take up that mantle that Johno has and maybe in previous games when they’ve played together it’s been a bit of a difficult thing for Starcy because he hasn’t quite known what his role has been. So if he does get that opportunity he will know exactly what he needs to do.”Mitchell Starc has a chance to stand out in the absence of Mitchell Johnson•Getty Images

Shane Warne’s words about Starc at the Gabba were harsh, but spoke of an issue that has not been anywhere near as prevalent when he has been able to lead an attack, new ball in hand. In ODIs Starc has often been irresistible, most notably on a warm day at the WACA later in the same summer as that South Africa Test. Bending the new ball treacherously late, he upended the West Indies in a manner that left plenty wondering who could possibly have kept him out that day.Steven Smith was very much a fringe dweller back then, not part of the squad and yet to make the leap from promise to fulfilment that has vaulted him into the Australian captaincy only a year after he did not make the initial list of Cricket Australia contracts. He has seen plenty of Starc, and reasons that a home Test and a strike bowler’s commission could yet bring out his best.”I’m sure he’s looking forward to playing out here in front of the SCG,” Smith said. “Having one left-hander is good for us. The way we’ve seen Mitch go back and play in the Big Bash he’s looked like he bowled exceptionally quick. We’re looking forward to hopefully some of the same that he’s produced in the BBL this week. I think if he sustains that for long periods, if he can keep that kind of pace up and sustain it for the long day he can be an extremely amazing bowler.”On match eve Smith had not yet decided whether he would grant Starc the chance to use the new ball. But it is reasonable to conclude that his best chance to succeed will be to take the shiny Kookaburra on a humid Sydney morning and charge into the wicket as fast as he can, his mind clear of questions about how he should work with other bowlers and how his action is grooved. That way he will be closer in mindset and attitude to the Starc seen in the nets, the BBL and the ODI team.Above all, it should not be forgotten that Starc’s current issues mirror those that were faced and beaten by Johnson himself. For some years, observers wondered why Johnson was persisted with when he looked about as sure of his bowling as doubtful spectators did. But time, and self-knowledge brought him to the realisation of enormous potential, helped by the belief of selectors and coaches who identified him. Starc is on that same journey, and this week will make another important step towards his destination from net bowling terror to Test match tormentor.

Até o momento os times catarinenses decepcionam. Enquanto a Chape é a 18ª colocada, com 10 pontos, o Leão é o lanterna do torneio, com apenas seis pontos.

Como chega a Chapecoense?

O ano da Chape é abaixo da expectativa. Diante de inúmeras trocas de técnicos, a equipe comandada por Emerson Cris tenta se aproveitar do clássico para mudar a chave dentro do Brasileirão. Com apenas duas vitórias, o sinal de alerta contra o rebaixamento está ligado e o time precisa reagir.

Na escalação, o Verdão do Oeste vai manter a base dos últimos jogos, mas terá a volta do atacante Everaldo, que não jogou a última partida, devido a uma suspensão.

Como chega o Avaí?

No Avaí a situação é grave. Único time que ainda não venceu dentro do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Leão tenta quebrar a má fase contra um rival local para amenizar um pouco da crise.

Na escalação da equipe, o técnico Alberto Valentim não tem problemas para montar o time. A expectativa é que o time consiga reproduzir em campo o que faz nos treinamentos da semana.

Prováveis Escalações:

Chapecoense: Tiepo, Eduardo, Gum, Maurício Ramos e Bruno Pacheco; Márcio Araújo, Campanharo, Augusto e Camilo; Arthur Gomes e Everaldo. Técnico: Emerson Cris.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has reduced Shakib Al Hasan’s six-month suspension by three-and-a-half months.

Mohammad Isam26-Aug-2014

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has reduced Shakib Al Hasan’s six-month suspension by three-and-a-half months, allowing him to be available for selection from September 15. However, the BCB’s ban on No Objection Certificates, required for Shakib to participate in overseas leagues, will remain in place until the end of 2015.The reduction in his suspension means that Shakib will be available for selection for the home series against Zimbabwe. He will not join the team in the West Indies, however, as the final Test of the tour begins on September 13 in St Lucia.Shakib was suspended on July 7 for what the board considered “serious misbehaviour” with Bangladesh’s new coach, Chandika Hathurusingha, and for his altercation with a spectator during a recent ODI against India.He appealed two weeks later and apologised publicly after submitting a letter to the board. At the start of August, Shakib was allowed to train at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. Nazmul Hassan, the BCB president, said the board had taken the decision to reduce the suspension after it was satisfied by the allrounder’s recent behaviour.”After taking everything under consideration, we have decided in today’s meeting that his suspension will be lifted on September 15,” Hassan said, after a four hour-long meeting at the board headquarters. “This means he will be available for selection. The board would not decide where he will play, the selectors and operations committee are there to select him. He will be available for international and domestic cricket.”It is not easy to take such a decision and then come out of it. But, as a contracted player, he had a right to appeal and he did. We were satisfied with the letter and his recent behaviour from individual interactions. We feel he has learned from his mistake and he has assured us a number of times that he won’t make such a mistake again.”Hassan also said the board could consider lifting the ban on NOCs if Shakib’s behaviour improves on and off the field.”The decision to keep him suspended from playing abroad [in domestic leagues] still stands,” Hassan said. “We will observe him on and off the field. If we see he has improved, the board may then decide to relax the other things.”Hassan also said that Shakib would be in the player pool for the Dhaka Premier League 2014-15 but stated the details would also rest with the tournament organisers, CCDM.”He is a [national] pool player. There are a few decisions to be taken, which will be in CCDM’s authority. They will let us know. They will take legal advice, but he will be allowed to play,” he said.When asked if the decision to reduce Shakib’s suspension was due to Bangladesh’s recent performances, Hassan simply said: “No.”
