Em momento goleador, Robinho admite ansiedade pelo gol 100

MatériaMais Notícias

O ano de 2017 começou recheado de conquistas para o meia Robinho, do Cruzeiro. Uma semana após completar o jogo 500 como profissional, o camisa 19 da Raposa já tem um outro objetivo, bem próximo de ser realizado: o gol 100, que chegaria para coroar o momento goleador do jogador de 29 anos.

– Eu estou vivendo uma fase muito legal dentro de campo. Me sinto confiante, tenho companheiros e comissão técnica que confiam e gostam muito de mim. Isso se transforma em confiança ao atleta. Pra falar a verdade até queria atingir meu centésimo gol na carreira esse ano, mas pensei que chegaria perto só lá no fim do ano. Tem aquela ansiedade de querer que chegue logo. Felizmente estou bem, ajudando o Cruzeiro com gols e perto dessa marca importante pra mim – comentou Robinho, que marcou o 98° gol da carreira na goleada por 6 a 0 sobre o São Francisco, do Pará, pela segunda fase da Copa do Brasil.

– As coisas estão cada vez melhores. Não só pra mim, como pro Cruzeiro, o que é o mais importante. Tudo é fruto de trabalho, esforço e dedicação. Esse elenco é extremamente trabalhador, e os frutos estão sendo colhidos. É só o começo. Então não é momento ainda de comemorar. Claro que estou contente por mim, por meus companheiros, pelo Cruzeiro. Mas tem muita coisa pela frente ainda e precisamos manter essa pegada. É continuar trabalhando mais e mais – completou Robinho, que tem 13 gols em 37 jogos pelo Cruzeiro.

O Cruzeiro volta a campo somente daqui a uma semana, na próxima quinta-feira, quando recebe a Caldense, às 20h30, pela quinta rodada do Campeonato Mineiro. O time está em segundo no Campeonato Mineiro, com dez pontos.

'Hoops' over hurdle

Carl Hooper put a lifetime of underachievement finally and firmly behind him yesterday, appropriately on the ground he has always called home

Tony Cozier13-Apr-2002Carl Hooper put a lifetime of underachievement finally and firmly behind him yesterday, appropriately on the ground he has always called home.His peerless 233 on the second day of the opening Cable & Wireless Test was not simply the highest innings by a West Indian at Bourda.It was as much belated vindication for the thousands of Hooper’s celebrating fellow Guyanese in the stands and his host of loyal fans throughout the Caribbean who have always been adamant that it was only a matter of time but for whom time was running short.Hooper, now 35 and in his 93rd Test, brought an unsatisfactory average of 35 into the match, but has now joined only three other West Indies captains, Denis Atkinson, Clive Lloyd and Brian Lara, who have scored double-hundreds.Incredibly, given the usually placid nature of the Bourda pitch and the great players who have batted on it, his was only the third Test double on the ground following the Trinidadian Clifford Roach’s 209 against England in the inaugural Test in 1930 and the New Zealander Glenn Turner’s 259 in 1972.As was the case on the first day, when he, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul combined to rally the West Indies from the insecurity of 44 for three to 270 for four, it was again an all-Guyanse show.Hooper and Chanderpaul, contrary in everything but their country of birth, extended their partnership from its overnight 113 to 293 against the lacklustre Indians whose bowling in the uncompromising conditions lacked penetration and whose tactics were short of imagination.Chanderpaul’s enterprising 140, studded with 23 fours, was his third Test hundred and his second at Bourda. No Guyanese has made as many at home, another staggering revelation given the quality of so many who have preceded him.It was no less personally significant for the neat eft-hander that was the double for Hooper.His appearances for the West Indies have been severely restricted by injury and illness in the past three years in which he has missed 17 Tests.His misfortune clearly affected the self-confidence of a batsman once the most reliable in the team and his average plummeted from the mid-40s into the high 30s.The fifth-wicket stand between the two was a Test record for all teams against India and the basis of a formidable total of 494 for seven when drizzle and fading light halted play with 21-and-a-half overs available.Notwithstanding the placid pitch, greased-lightning outfield, inexperienced bowling and the presence of Sachin Tendulkar in the opposition ranks, it should be enough to put pressure on the Indians.Hooper and Chanderpaul are the ideal combination, the former right-handed, all graceful power and sweet timing, the latter left-handed, short on finesse but with strong wrists, an eagle eye and a keen sense of placement.Hooper had a scratchy start on the opening day, when he might have been out to his first ball and again when he was 10, but he was impeccable throughout yesterday.Not one of the 172 balls he received in moving from 108 to his eventual 233 caused him any serious concern. He added two sixes and 15 fours and they came in all directions with strokes of every description.There were deft cuts, savage pulls, lofted strokes off the legs, drives that took the breath away, neat paddle sweeps.Chanderpaul was no less punishing, so confusing the Indian think tank that they briefly positioned a solitary leg-side fielder, at mid-on, for the medium-pacer Sanjay Banger to try to check him. The tactic was quickly abandoned as he slipped two fours to the vacant fine leg.The left-hander did have an anxious moment or two. He was 94 when he edged the veteran leg-spinner Anil Kumble past slip’s right hand to the boundary, clipping his next ball for three to reach his cherished landmark quarter-hour before lunch.A smile, a raise of the bat and genuflection on the pitch marked his gratitude. After that, a dizzy spell that brought attention from trainer Ronald Rogers, a desperate dive to avoid a run out and a close lbw call from the left-arm Zaheer Khan were his only alarms.Zaheer finally removed him lbw in the best spell of the day as Chanderpaul was beaten coming forward by his 290th ball. His 23 boundaries from the 290 balls be received were indicative of his form, the pitch, the lightning fast outfield and the bowling.Zaheer quickly repeated the dose for Junior Murray and, at the opposite end, Hooper finally fell to Sarandeep Singh’s spectacular tumbling catch running in from long-leg off the perserving Kumble.Hooper had launched Kumble onto the top of the antiquated scoreboard at square-leg for his third six the ball before but found the top-edge attempting a repeat.He occupied ten hours 35 minutes for 402 balls and tallied 29 boundaries in addition to his sixes, only one that sneaked through the slips early in the piece in the direction other than that intended.He left to a standing ovation from fans who had waited 15 years for an exhibition such as this. It was far, far better late than never.

Robinson drops Nuno claim at Spurs

Speaking to Football Insider, pundit and Sky Sports regular Paul Robinson has dropped a claim involving Nuno Espirito Santo as Tottenham Hotspur allegedly eye him as a candidate.

The Lowdown: Spurs eyeing Nuno…

After failed Tottenham talks for Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Conte, Paulo Fonseca and Gennaro Gattuso, the Lilywhites have turned their focus to other targets.

Some names from the original shortlist have reappeared, like Brighton boss Graham Potter for example, but names like Nuno are now being considered with Tottenham’s options growing thin.

Indeed, Football Insider recently claimed that Spurs have now turned to the 47-year-old as a candidate as they plot talks behind the scenes.

The Latest: Robinson shares what he’s heard…

Speaking to Football Insider, in reaction to this development, former Spurs keeper and Sky regular Robinson has made a claim involving Nuno from his ‘sources’.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/spurs-latest-updates-2/” title=”Spurs latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Apparently, the Portuguese could demand as much as 15-20 backroom staff for the manager’s job.

“He has held talks with Crystal Palace and Everton as well but that has fallen through so something isn’t right there,” explained the ex-England international.

“I heard from my sources that he wants 15 or 20 backroom staff members coming with him but I cannot see that happening at Spurs because Daniel will not want to do that because it will be very expensive.

“There is a particular structure now at Spurs with Paratici coming in. If he wasn’t succeeding at Wolves, why would Tottenham turn to him?”

The Verdict: Intriguing claim…

This information that Nuno could demand a plethora of staff comes as intriguing, especially when you consider the differences Tottenham had with Conte in regards to backroom numbers.

Lauded as a ‘fantastic’ boss by Eygpt international Hassan ‘Kouka’ Ahmed (BBC), who worked with him at Rio Ave, Spurs must still carefully consider Nuno despite the Robinson reveal.

Tottenham are running out of time with non-international players set to return for pre-season training as soon as July 5 and chairman Daniel Levy simply must make a decision soon.

Inspirado em Riquelme e R10, Cueva vê futebol brasileiro sem alegria

MatériaMais Notícias

Quando decidiu entregar a camisa 10 para Christian Cueva no início do ano, o São Paulo confiava que o peruano poderia se firmar como protagonista da equipe. E a resposta até aqui é positiva. São seis jogos como titular, três assistências, dois gols e uma relação cada vez mais próxima com a torcida. Mas o armador ainda não está 100% feliz.

Na última quarta-feira, no clássico contra o Santos, o são-paulino foi cobrado pelos rivais e recebeu cartão amarelo por comemorar como faz há anos: levando a mão direita à orelha. O gesto é uma homenagem ao irmão Jorge Luis, fanático pelo ex-meia argentino Juan Román Riquelme, que costumava celebrar os gols da mesma forma, mas já foi punido pela arbitragem também no ano passado, quando marcou contra o Corinthians, em Itaquera.

-Eu celebro assim desde o tempo do México, Peru… Meu irmão sempre pediu que eu comemorasse assim, então passei a fazer isso.Lembro do meu irmão e de um jogador que gosto. E não se pode perder a alegria no futebol. Isso me deixa impotente, de levar cartão de novo. No Brasil todo mundo fazia gol e comemorava de distintas maneiras, mas isso se perdeu. Deveriam deixar que o jogador comemore como quer, como sente, mas sem faltar ao respeito com ninguém.Meus ídolos, por exemplo, são Ronaldo e Ronaldinho Gaúcho, monstros, gênios, que me faziam emocionar a cada jogo. Por isso falo das celebrações, eram jogadores que brincavam em campo. E Ronaldinho, o mais alegre de todos. E isso não pode se perder. Com tudo o que acontece na vida, a alegria não pode se perder e os dois me brindaram com isso – defendeu-se.

Cueva quer que essa alegria se espalhe no elenco e na torcida do São Paulo, mas não se empolga com os elogios. Perguntado se já se considera um dos melhores meias em ação no futebol brasileiro, disse apenas que briga para estar no topo. O segredo, segundo o camisa 10, está no ambiente proporcionado pelo Tricolor desde sua chegada, em julho de 2016.

-Não me considero o melhor, mas trabalho para chegar a ser. Tenho em minha cabeça que posso dar muito mais, me sinto em casa e isso torna tudo mais fácil. Me sinto igual a todos, uma pessoa que busca seus sonhos e grandes coisas pelo São Paulo. Isso importa mais do que se sou melhor ou não. Coletivo é sempre mais importante.Sabia que jogar aqui era um feito muito grande, encontrando jogadores de alto nível. Foi um desafio grande, estou me sentindo cada vez melhor, mas ainda não conquistei nada. E preciso disso para concluir meu sonho – projetou.

Confira outros trechos da entrevista coletiva de Cueva:

Como é encontrar um ambiente tão animado após o clássico?
​Importante a vitória, em um clássico que dá confiança. Mas além disso, essa confiança vem crescendo em treinos, com todos aplicados ao que Rogério Ceni quer. E aí conseguimos fazer o que treinamos nas partidas.

Já tinha alcançado números tão bons na carreira?
Nunca atingi algo como está sendo aqui. Nunca tive números como esses, mesmo fazendo gols e assistências. No México fiz mais gols, mas em um ano, aqui tenho seis meses. Vamos a passos lentos, mas firmes para atingir o que queremos, que são títulos.

Como encara essa evolução?
Cada um se propõe a algo na vida. E quando quis vir ao São Paulo, era para dar meu melhor. Quem me conhece sabe que adoro o futebol, ainda mais no país onde mais nasce futebol. Eu pude me adaptar rápido, mas quero mais. Todos aqui querem e trabalham para isso. Temos que ter tranquilidade e seriedade, comemorar os pontos que chegam, mas pensando nos próximos jogos.

Mas o time vai sempre precisar virar os jogos?
O ideal seria começar ganhando, e jogamos para isso, mas uma equipe grande como a nossa nem sempre vê o adversário sair de igual para igual. Tomamos o gol e o que mais gostei é que o grupo e a comissão técnica têm uma reação muito boa para dar a volta e ganhar. Isso é importante, mesmo que o ideal seja sair ganhando e controlar o resultado.

West Ham eye shocking Lingard alternative

After suffering a cruel blow to their chances of signing Jesse Lingard permanently, West Ham United have been handed a fresh update on a potential alternative…

What’s the word?

As revealed by the ever-reliable ExWHUemployee, the 28-year-old loan sensation could sign a new contract at Manchester United, where he is now expected to fight for his place under Ole Gunner Solskjaer.

The Hammers have been linked to a few different options in the event that they cannot secure a permanent move for Lingard, including West Brom’s Matheus Pereira and Chelsea outcast Ross Barkley, who David Moyes handed a debut to at Everton.

It is the latter who is thought to have been made available for transfer following the latest claims this week.

Goal.com’s Nizaar Kinsella suggests that the Blues are open to selling him this summer after Aston Villa opted against signing him following his loan spell.

It’s thought that they value the 33-time England international at around £30m.

Shocking alternative

If Moyes wants to fill the gap left behind by Lingard successfully, then he’s probably barking up the wrong tree by considering his former midfielder and he must avoid making a move for him amid this latest update.

After starting the season in sparkling form, the 27-year-old tailed off into oblivion by the end of the 2020/21 campaign in what was ultimately a microcosm of his career so far.

Barkley scored in his opening two matches for Villa and then played a crucial role in the thrashing of Arsenal, where he provided an assist but in his following 19 appearances for the Midlands side, he managed just one further goal.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-latest-west-ham-news-transfer-gossip-rumours-staff-gsb-moyes-updates-and-more” title= “Read the latest West Ham news, transfer rumours, gossip and more!”]

Indeed, the Chelsea flop failed to feature in Dean Smith’s starting XI in their final three games of the season, so it’s no wonder they have not signed him permanently.

Speaking about his struggles, The Athletic’s Gregg Evans slammed Barkley as a “liability” on their 1874 podcast back in April.

“He doesn’t do enough for me now,” he said. “I’ve seen enough of Ross Barkley now to realise that he’s becoming a bit of a liability for Villa. He’s not helping out enough as he should, really.”

Lingard, who played in a similar role in East London, was quite the contract. He found the net nine times and also provided four assists, finishing the season as Moyes’ second-highest rated player (7.22) behind Tomas Soucek (7.36).

He’s going to be a hard man to replace at the London Stadium but what is clear is that Barkley would be a shocking alternative and one major downgrade, which just isn’t what the Irons need as they embark on a historic season.

The £18m-rated dud, who earns an eye-watering £100k-per-week at Stamford Bridge, must not be signed this summer, whatever the circumstance.

Moyes simply risks a transfer disaster with this one.

AND in other news, Moyes must axe £85k-p/w West Ham flop who’s “strolled about”, he’s cost £722k per game…
