Desde que chegou ao Vasco, no segundo semestre de 2015, Nenê carregou a importância de ser o principal jogador da equipe. Não conseguiu livrar a equipe do rebaixamento no Campeonato Brasileiro, mas foi fundamental na campanha do acesso e é considerado como ídolo pelos torcedores. No domingo, ao entrar em campo diante do Palmeiras na estreia fora de casa em mais um Nacional, o camisa 10 do Cruz-Maltino chegará a marca de 100 partidas pelo clube e comemorou.

– É uma marca muito bonita que eu estou com a possibilidade de alcançar. Fico orgulhoso de poder chegar a esse número em um clube da grandeza do Vasco, de ter números excelentes para um meia em gols e assistências. Fico feliz em estar chegando a essa marca. Espero que seja com um grande jogo, que seja especial – destacou Nenê em sua última entrevista coletiva, lembrando também do êxito nas estatísticas em São Januário já que fez 38 gols.

São muitos momentos considerados especiais por Nenê nesse período de 99 jogos que já entrou em campo com a camisa do Vasco. A relação sempre foi boa entre as partes – o que fez com que mais uma vez garantisse a permanência em São Januário, negando possíveis informações de que poderia deixar o clube. Ao ser questionado para enumerar os momentos mais especiais, o camisa 10 enfatizou ser difícil de escolher, mas lembrou.

– O título Carioca (conquistado no ano passado) de maneira invicta foi um dos momentos mais marcantes que tive nesse período com a camisa do Vasco. A sequência de jogos também invicta, 34 partidas sem perder, também foi muito especial para mim… Também teve a partida contra o Flamengo no Maracanã em que fiz o gol da vitória defendendo o clube da grandeza do Vasco. Posso citar esses três momentos como marcantes do período – disse para completar colocando a Conmebol Libertadores como alvo do Vasco neste 2017:

– Estamos visando aqui no Vasco terminar o Campeonato Brasileiro entre os cinco primeiros, classificando assim para a Libertadores. A equipe tem qualidade, sabemos disso. Resta trabalhar no dia a dia. Vasco vem tanto tempo sofrendo. Esperamos dar essa alegria para o torcedor.

Neste retorno à elite do futebol brasileiro, o Vasco precisa mais do que nunca da eficiência de Nenê. No meio de campo é o que mais tem qualidade técnica e tática para que o time crie oportunidades de gols e conquiste os seus objetivos. Nos 99 jogos que já passaram, foi figura carimbada em 51 vitórias, 26 empates e 22 derrotas. A relação tende a aumentar mais e Nenê tem condições de escrever outros capítulos memoráveis na história do Cruz-Maltino.

Watford mark their Premier League return with a home fixture against Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, with Xisco Munoz’s side hoping to kickstart with three points against Dean Smith’s side.

Following automatic promotion from the Championship last term, Watford have added a number of players to their squad, with summer signings Emmanuel Dennis, Danny Rose, Josh King, Peter Etebo, Juraj Kucka and Imran Louza all hoping to play a big part throughout the season.

However, in recent Premier League seasons, we have seen Watford fail to keep faith in those who got them promoted, and it will be interesting to see how many changes Xisco opts to make from those who performed so well in the second tier last season.

Here’s how Football FanCast expects the Spanish manager to line up his side at Vicarage Road today, with four players making their Watford debuts…

After an impressive second half of last season, combined with a solid Euro 2020 with Austria, Daniel Bachmann unsurprisingly starts in between the sticks against the Villans.

Kiko Femenia, William Troost-Ekong and Francisco Sierralta were all regulars in the Championship last season and will likely keep their places in defence, with Rose making his competitive Hornets debut after joining on a free transfer from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this summer.

In the absence of Will Hughes, who has been banished to the under-23s amid an ongoing transfer saga, Xisco is likely to name a much-changed midfield, with Etebo and Kucka making their debuts alongside a mainstay from last season in Tom Cleverley.

Ismaila Sarr’s performances are likely to be a big factor for Watford this season and he starts on the right-wing, with new signing Dennis earning a start on the left, although he could be pushed up front at some point in the game.

They support Troy Deeney in attack, with the 33-year-old proving in pre-season that he is fit and ready for the new campaign, and he will be looking to add to the 47 Premier League goals he has in his career thus far.

That leaves no place in the starting XI for Ken Sema, who played the second-most league minutes of anyone at Watford last season but could miss out today due to the influx of new competitors for his position out wide.

In other news… Watford transfer news is confirmed, fans will be fuming

The ICC European Division 2 Championship gets underway on Monday in Guernsey. Six countries – Croatia, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Guernsey and Jersey – will compete for the title

Cricinfo staff15-Aug-2008The ICC European Division 2 Championship gets underway on Monday in Guernsey. Six countries – Croatia, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Guernsey and Jersey – will compete for the title, and their finishing positions will determine their potential entry into the proposed expansion of the World Cricket League.This will be the second major European tournament to be held on the island after Guernsey hosted last year’s Under-23 Division 2 Championship. The current holder of the Division 2 title is Norway, who triumphed in Glasgow in 2006 by defeating Jersey in the deciding encounter. As a result Norway were promoted and took part in this season’s European Division 1 Championship in Dublin.Jersey is the highest-ranked team and the tournament-favourites, having finished as runner-up to Afghanistan in the World Cricket League Division 5 tournament held in Jersey in May. Captain Matthew Hague leads a strong squad in which Peter Gough (averaging 104) and Ryan Driver (12 wickets at 8.25) were the outstanding individual performers back in May. The side has a very solid batting line-up and an excellent bowling attack in which Andy Dewhurst and Hague will play major roles.Guernsey were disappointed by their European debut in Glasgow in 2006 when they were beaten by Germany and Hellas before going on to defeat Israel and France to claim fifth place. Lee Savident, the player of the tournament, and Matthew Oliver both impressed with the bat in Glasgow and young 16-year-old Timothy Ravenscroft shone in the ICC European Under-17 Championship in Belfast this year.Germany – who possess a useful bowling attack – finished in third place in Glasgow and took seventh place in the World Cricket League Division 5 tournament, but their batting remains fragile. Meanwhile Gibraltar have a proud record in the Division 2 Championships, having taken the title in Glasgow in 2000 and going on to retain it in Belfast two years later. In 2006 it lost the third place play-off to Germany by 96 runs, and they are once again led by Christian Rocca, the 43-year-old opening batsman. However, eight of the squad are under 25.France had only one success in 2006, albeit an excellent win by 7 runs against Jersey while Croatia come into the tournament with high expectations following their fine performance in last season’s Division 3 tournament. The title was won in Brussels with a thrilling four-run victory over Spain in the final, John Vujnovich making 88 with useful contributions from Christopher Pivac and brother Peter Vujnovich.

كشفت تقارير صحفية إسبانية عن رد فعل جيرارد بيكيه بعد قرار تشافي هيرنانديز بعدم الاعتماد عليه في الموسم المقبل.

أخبر تشافي هيرنانديز، مدافعه جيرارد بيكيه، بموقفه النهائي من خططه في العملاق الكتالوني في الموسم المقبل، وهو استبعاده من التشكيل الأساسي.

صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية، كشفت أن اللاعب جيرارد بيكيه رغم ذلك القرار، لا ينوي الرحيل عن برشلونة، ورد على تشافي هيرنانديز بأنه مستعد لتقديم المساعدة للفريق في أي وقت ومن أي مكان، حتى لو لم يشارك أساسيًا.

الوضع يزداد تعقيدًا لأن برشلونة يرغب في التخلص من بيكيه، بسبب راتب اللاعب ومدة عقده الذي سينتهي بعد موسمين، وهو ما يجعل البلوجرانا ينتظر عرضًا للمدافع الإسباني.

رحيل بيكيه سيجعل لـ برشلونة هامش أوسع للتعاقدات الصيفية الجديدة، رغم تخفيض جيرارد لعقده في التجديد الأخير الموسم الماضي.

بيكيه مستعد لتخفيض راتبه مرة أخرى، على أمل أن يستمر حتى نهاية عقده مع برشلونة، ومحاولة مساعدة النادي بأي طريقة.

Martin Williamson reports on the first day’s play between Middlesex and Gloucestershire at Lord’s

Although the season has almost a month to run, there was a distinctly autumnal feel to proceedings at a chilly Lord’s in a game with little at stake in terms of promotion. Middlesex, beset by rumours of internal disharmony and possible player exits, nevertheless did enough to take charge against a Gloucestershire side rooted to the bottom and without a Championship win all year.Shaun Udal lost his first toss as Middlesex captain but it wasn’t too costly. Gloucestershire struggled against a moving ball and Middlesex’s seam attack had them five down by lunch. David Brown (68) and Steve Snell (31) showed some fight after the interval, but Alan Richardson returned to nip out the tail and record his first five-wicket haul of an injury-hit summer.Richardson and Tim Murtagh caused no end of problems on a greenish pitch. William Porterfield fell leg-before half forward and then Kabir Ali played on to leave the visitors 6 for 2. The rest of the session was punctuated by frequent lbw shouts and a few edges, only one of which, to Murali Kartik at second slip, was spilled. Steve Finn removed Hamish Marshall with his first ball when he replaced Murtagh at the Nursery End, and Billy Godelman took a smart short-leg catch to account for Chris Taylor.At that stage Gloucestershire were 39 for 4 and looking likely to roll over, but at last Alex Gidman found in Brown someone prepared to dig. The pair steadied the innings only for Gidman to play on when Murtagh returned shortly before lunch.Oddly, the batting appeared easier in the first hour of the afternoon when the cloud cover was low. But once Finn nipped one back to trap Brown leg-before, there was little resistance. Richardson, in his third spell from the Pavilion End, benefited from some loose strokeplay to finish with 5 for 34 as the last three wickets went down in three overs.By the time Middlesex started their reply the sun was out but appearances were misleading. It was bitterly cold with a cutting breeze coming from behind the pavilion.Gloucestershire’s seamers posed few problems once the shine was off the ball, and the left-handed opening pair of Andrew Strauss and Godelman were rarely troubled. Both played well off their legs, and there was no shortage of opportunity to do so. Brown and Steve Kirby occasionally looked threatening, but there was little else to rouse the sparse crowd.Strauss eventually brought about his own downfall with a mistimed pull, and while that slowed the scoring rate, Middlesex continued to make steady progress. Ed Joyce, relived of the burden of captaincy in a bid to find form, and reportedly still in negotiations over his county future, started cautiously before unleashing two superb drives, one straight off the front foot immediately followed by an even better shot going back.Unsurprisingly in a wretched summer, the forecast for the next three days is poor. On today’s showing, the weather is about the only hope Gloucestershire have of avoiding yet another defeat.

Steve Howey reckons striker Dwight Gayle has a massive opportunity to impress at Newcastle this season.

Gayle has been with Newcastle for five years since joining from Crystal Palace in 2016, but has scored just 34 goals in all competitions, with 23 of those coming in their Championship title-winning campaign in his debut season.

With Callum Wilson signing last summer, the 31-year-old was restricted to just four Premier League starts, with his only goal coming in his first league outing of the season against West Brom.

But with Andy Carroll now gone and Joelinton still struggling to justify the £40m price tag that Newcastle paid for him two years ago, Gayle could be given the chance to step up and fight for a regular starting place.

Gayle, who recently signed a three-year deal, was given plenty of game-time in pre-season and will be hoping his brace in Newcastle’s final friendly will have given Steve Bruce food for thought, despite missing out on the opening day defeat to West Ham.

Howey exclusively told Football FanCast:

“It’s a massive opportunity for Gayle. In the Championship he scores goals, and he did struggle last season, but there were the injuries and a lack of opportunities.

“When he did get the chance last season, he got the odd goal.”

Alexandre Mattos, diretor de futebol do Palmeiras, ficou revoltado com a punição imposta ao clube pela Conmebol por causa da briga no jogo contra o Peñarol, em Montevidéu: nos próximos três jogos como visitante na Libertadores, o Verdão não poderá ter torcedores. Além disso, foi aplicada uma multa de 80 mil dólares.

-É revoltante, como foi no caso do Felipe (Melo, que levou seis jogos de gancho por causa da briga). A gente não consegue entender os critérios, como é feito o negócio. O Palmeiras é vítima, quem estava lá sabe disso. A torcida, assim como o Felipe, se defendeu. Vamos ter uma Libertadores com desequilíbrio técnico. O que vai acontecer de agora até o fim a gente não sabe, mas há um desequilíbrio, o Palmeiras foi bastante prejudicado – disse o dirigente.

Houve briga tanto dentro quanto fora do gramado. A Conmebol puniu o Palmeiras especificamente pela briga da torcida, tanto que a sanção é exatamente a mesma que foi aplicada à Universidad de Chile pelo vandalismo de seus torcedores na Arena Corinthians.

– As imagens estão aí. Os seguranças, que deveriam controlar, estavam jogando lata de lixo na cabeça de torcedor do Palmeiras lá. Tem companheiros de vocês que estavam presentes e se sentiram acuados, foi uma tocaia aquilo ali. O Palmeiras vai recorrer. A gente não sabe como são feitas as coisas lá, há anos a gente fala isso, mas já temos uma Libertadores com desequilíbrio técnico – disse Mattos.

– A torcida do Palmeiras tem o direito de ir onde quer que seja, inclusive no último jogo tinha muita gente na Bolívia. Acho que a Conmebol tem de explicar os critérios que adotou para punir quem queria se defender. Acho que todo mundo agora tem de ficar muito mais de olho nas coisas que estão acontecendo lá. A gente não sabe quem vai ser campeão, mas tem um desequilíbrio técnico. O torcedor do Palmeiras não pode acompanhar o time até a final. Se estivéssemos errado, seria o primeiro a falar. No Brasileiro do ano passado aconteceu parecido e não questionamos – emendou.

O diretor de futebol do Palmeiras bateu várias vezes na tecla de que a decisão da entidade que comanda o futebol sul-americano desequilibra a competição. A punição ao Peñarol, que deve ser mais severa, ainda não foi divulgadas. De qualquer maneira, os efeitos para a edição deste ano serão mínimos para os uruguaios, já que eles não avançarão aos mata-matas.

-Se cabe recurso, o Palmeiras tem que recorrer e vai recorrer, vai fazer de tudo para diminuir esse prejuízo, que no meu modo de ver é impagável. O Palmeiras se acha prejudicado por uma força exterior. Não significa que vamos amolecer, que achamos que não vamos ganhar, ao contrário, vamos fazer muito mais força. Mas que tem uma dificuldade a mais para um clube só, tem. Qualquer pessoa que analisar aquilo ali vai ver que o Palmeiras é vítima – disse Mattos.

– Não tem o que fazer. O departamento jurídico vai cuidar e pode responder o que vai ser feito. A gente fica com a revolta. Quem trabalha no futebol sabe como é não poder ter o torcedor do lado. E somos vítimas da situação. A gente não queria punição nem para o Palmeiras e nem para o Felipe. Tinham que punir os culpados, que nesse caso é o Peñarol – completou o diretor.

أوضح مصدر مسؤول داخل وزارة الشباب والرياضة، موقف خطاب من نادي الزمالك بشأن مباراة القمة أمام الأهلي.

ومن المقرر أن يلتقي الأهلي والزمالك، غدًا الأحد، على ملعب استاد السلام، في تمام الثامنة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة، في المباراة المؤجلة بينهما من الأسبوع الـ20 من عمر مسابقة الدوري المصري الممتاز.

ونشر نادي الزمالك عبر موقعه الرسمي خطابًا رسميًا موجهًا إلى وزارة الشباب والرياضة، يُطالب فيه بعدم حضور الجماهير في مباراة القمة أمام الأهلي، تطبيقًا لمبدأ تكافؤ الفرص (طالع التفاصيل من هنـــــا).

وقال مصدر بوزارة الرياضة لـ”بطولات”: “لم يصلنا أي خطابات من نادي الزمالك بشأن الحضوري الجماهيري لمباراة القمة، ولم نتسلم أي شيء خاص بذلك الأمر”.

وأوضح: “هذا ليس اختصاص وزارة الرياضة، والأمر يعود إلى رابطة الأندية المصرية”.

If Dean Smith spent Monday night dreaming of the perfect Aston Villa performance, then he certainly got it when his side thrashed Barrow 6-0 in the Carabao Cup second round.

The Midlands club were superb from minute one, carving open the League Two side with relative ease time and time again, with a number of players really staking their claim for future involvement in the first-team.

Smith was keen to give a bunch of his side’s brightest young academy talents the chance to impress, and while Cameron Archer no doubt stole the post-match headlines thanks to his fine hat-trick, it was arguably Jaden Philogene-Bidace who was the real sensation.

Here on FFC, we called on Smith to unleash the 19-year-old flier last night, and in a follow-up poll, 99% of the people who voted wanted him to start too (127 to 1). And boy, did he not disappoint those who wanted him in the team!

As per Sofascore, he completed three of his four dribbles, including one that saw him drive into the penalty area with real purpose before being brought down.

And while he actually made just a mind-boggling seven passes over the course of the 90 minutes he was on the pitch, he made most of them count.

Two of them were key passes, including arguably the assist of the night when he checked back on the by-line before delivering a cute pass back into the path of Archer to fire home for his hat-trick.

He also won a team-high 11 duels which was a real indication of the kind of effort he put into both sides of the game, not just going forward.

And, writing in his post-match player ratings for The Birmingham Mail, Joseph Chapman gave him a nine, saying: “Very lively, extremely quick and so dangerous with his feet.

“Operated on both wings, and while on the right he won the penalty in the first half. Had more than one sight of goal, but he didn’t pull the trigger quickly enough. JPB dragged a shot wide of the post and blazed over with another, but he wonderfully teed up Archer’s treble.”

While of course Archer will be the talk of the town, it was Philogene-Bidace’s willingness to take players on, but equally show the fine composure to pick out his teammates in better positions, that would have left Smith absolutely raving on the side-lines.

The teenager was Villa’s unsung hero on the night.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa are plotting a late swoop for this star…

Jason Krejza, Australia’s uncapped offspinner, has won an endorsement from his former mentor, the Sri Lanka coach Trevor Bayliss, ahead of the India Test series

Jason Krejza, Australia’s uncapped offspinner, has won an endorsement from his former mentor, the Sri Lanka coach Trevor Bayliss, ahead of the India Test series. Bayliss coached Krejza at New South Wales and he believes his propensity to turn the ball sharply could make him a dangerous weapon in India.”He’s a big spinner of the ball, and that could be an advantage,” Bayliss told the . “If he does play, he could be a bit like Harbhajan [Singh]. He could bowl some big-turning, bouncing balls that can be difficult to play.”Krejza’s selection in the 15-man squad was a surprise and he is no certainty to play a Test on the tour. An attacking bowler who likes flighting the ball, Krejza moved to Tasmania during the 2006-07 season to further his prospects.Bayliss said during their time together at New South Wales, Krejza had been working on a delivery that was not unlike Ajantha Mendis’ carrom ball. Bayliss oversaw the recent Test series in Sri Lanka where his side beat India 2-1 and Mendis was named Player of the Series for his 26 wickets.”The unbelievable thing is how accurate he [Mendis] is with those variations,” Bayliss said. “I know Krejza was working in the nets on flicking it off the middle finger to the leg side, I don’t know if he still does it.”Bayliss said whoever took the ball for Australia, the key against India would be to stem the flow of runs. “One of the things we did well here,” Bayliss said, “was stop them scoring by building pressure from both ends, and it doesn’t matter whether you do that with pace or spin, it still works.”
