O árbitro Ricardo Marques Ribeiro (MG) ficou na berlinda nesta terça-feira. Em comunicado divulgado à imprensa nesta terça-feira, o Atlético-MG anunciou que enviou um ofício à Federação Mineira de Futebol (FMF) para pedir o afastamento do juiz do quadro de arbitragem e também exclui-lo da sequência do Estadual.

Em entrevista ao “Estado de Minas”, o diretor jurídico do Galo, Lásaro Cândido da Cunha, questionou a maneira como o árbitro conduziu o empate em 2 a 2 do Cruzeiro com o Uberlândia, na noite de segunda-feira e a postura de Ricardo Marques Ribeiro anteriormente:

-O histórico do senhor Ricardo Marques Ribeiro foi rememorado ontem (segunda-feira). Ele tem um histórico de jogos que envolve o Cruzeiro. Ontem (segunda), ele cometeu erros clássicos, especialmente na marcação de um pênalti absolutamente inexistente, fora outros erros.

O árbitro marcou pênalti de Rogério em Ábila no fim do primeiro tempo, quando o Uberlândia vencia a partida. Segundo o diretor jurídico do Atlético-MG, o clube exigirá a saída de Ricardo Marques Ribeiro da sequência do Campeonato Mineiro:

– Nós requeremos o afastamento dele do Campeonato Mineiro. A comissão, sei lá, vai passar para ele um aperfeiçoamento, uma reciclagem, o que for. Mas ele não tem condição de apitar neste momento, especialmente jogos que envolvem o Cruzeiro

BRISBANE – Australian Cricket Board chief executive James Sutherland wastonight unable to guarantee a full-strength side would contest nextmonth’s Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka.

Wayne Heming21-Aug-2002BRISBANE – Australian Cricket Board chief executive James Sutherland wastonight unable to guarantee a full-strength side would contest nextmonth’s Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka.Sutherland and Australian Cricketers Association chief executive Tim Maymet members of the national one-day squad tonight to thrash out concernsover International Cricket Council player contracts, which have createda storm of protest around the cricketing world.The ICC wants players to sign contracts preventing them from promotingtheir individual sponsors for 30 days either side of next February’sWorld Cup in South Africa.The ICC’s new $1 billion deal with Global Cricket Corporation isconditional on countries sending their full-strength sides but alreadyIndian authorities are facing a player revolt and England’s topcricketers have been advised against signing the ICC contracts.Sutherland emerged from tonight’s meeting confident discussions wereheading in the right direction.But he could not rule out Australia sending a weakened team to Sri Lankaif some players balked at signing the controversial ICC contracts.”Ultimately that could be a possibility,” admitted Sutherland, who saidthe players who leave for a triangular series in Kenya on Monday had notbeen given any deadline to sign.”Right now our concern is dealing with the squad of players selected andto work through the issue with them.”What we need to do under the ICC agreement is deliver the best possibleteam and what we are trying to do now is work with the ACA and ourplayers to reach a situation that they are comfortable about theirrights and their rights in regard to the event and surrounding events.”May said it was impossible to speculate on what to players may decide.”We haven’t put any deadlines on them,” he said.”They got a lot of new information tonight about what the ACB and ACAhave been negotiating over the last week or so and we want the playersto have the appropriate time to consider and digest that information.”It’s too early to speculate on the outcome. They received a lot ofinformation to consider and there is a lot at stake for the players whoneed time to do that.”Sutherland admitted the players could fly out for Kenya on Mondaywithout signing the ICC contracts.”They could, but it’s not an ideal situation,” he said.”We continue to be hopeful we will resolve it before the players leave.”The ACB is yet to sign a contract to contest the Champions Trophy andSutherland said they wouldn’t until the players had made their decision.Earlier, one day captain Ricky Ponting was unable to rule out Australianplayers boycotting future international tournaments because ofcontroversial sponsorship contracts being forced upon them.And he admitted to being stumped as to how players or the ACB could getaround the ICC sponsorship contracts which have been rejected by leadingplayers around the world.”We can sit down and talk about it, but there’s really not much we cando about it,” Ponting conceded.Asked if that meant the ICC had to change it’s contract, Ponting said:”I don’t think that’s going to happen either.”I don’t think there’s any right answer to this whole thing … if therehad been, I’m sure it would have been resolved by now.”While Ponting was prepared to go into bat for his players over theirright to have individual sponsors, he was not keen on the idea of playerboycotts.”I don’t think any of the [Australian] players want a boycott, that’snot what we are all about,” he said.

Reporter suggests Matheus Pereira is low down Aston Villa’s list

West Brom attacker Matheus Pereira is likely to be low down Aston Villa’s transfer shortlist, journalist Luke Hatfield has told Football FanCast.

Pereira has been linked with a summer move to Villa, with The Athletic reporting back in April that the 25-year-old is a player the Midlands club have been monitoring.

However, Villa have since gone on to sign another right winger in Emiliano Buendia, while they also put a lot of effort into trying to bring Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe to Villa Park, though they have fallen short there.

It means Villa could now turn elsewhere, but Hatfield has his doubts about a potential move for Pereira.

“I still think it’s unlikely,” the Express & Star reporter said. “I think Villa have probably looked at him and he’s probably on like a lengthy list, because they will have a lengthy list of players that they’ll be looking at. But I don’t think he’s at the top of that.”

If Villa do end up signing Pereira, then they would be getting a player who could add much more firepower to the team’s attack.

Last season, only Ollie Watkins (14) managed to score more Premier League goals than the Brazilian (11).

Pereira also averaged more key passes (1.8) per game than any Villa player bar Grealish (3.1), so the West Brom star could prove to be a creative threat, too (stats via WhoScored).

The likes of West Ham and Crystal Palace have also been credited with an interest, so the Villans could face a lot of competition for his signature.

بوتشيتينو: علمت بتمديد عقد مبابي قبل دقائق قليلة من الإعلان الرسمي

تحدث ماوريسيو بوتشيتينو المدير الفني لباريس سان جيرمان في مؤتمر صحفي عقب الفوز على ميتز بخماسية نظيفة في الدوري الفرنسي، واحتفالية التتويج باللقب. 

وعلّق بوتشيتينو على تجديد عقد كيليان مبابي، حيث أعلن باريس سان جيرمان قبل المباراة، تمديد عقد المهاجم الشاب حتى يونيو 2025.

بوتشيتينو أشار إلى أنه لم يكن على علم بتمديد عقد مبابي، وقال: “علمت بتمديد عقده قبل دقائق قليلة من الإعلان الرسمي”.

وأضاف: “من المهم جدًا للنادي أن يبقى مبابي هنا، عندما وصلت، تعرض لانتقادات شديدة في فرنسا وعندما ترى تقدمه، يمكنك أن تفخر به، إنه باريسي يتعاطف مع المدينة والنادي”.

وعن كون باريس سان جيرمان توج بلقب الدوري الفرنسي العاشر له، أفاد بوتشيتينو: “نصنع التاريخ، باريس سان جيرمان ينضم إلى أنجح الأندية في البطولة”.

وأكمل: “يسعدنا الاحتفال بهذا اللقب وحصولنا على هذه الكأس التي تكافئ الفريق الأكثر انتظامًا في الموسم في الدوري الفرنسي”.

شهدت تلك المباراة وداعية لآنخيل دي ماريا الذي سيغادر صفوف باريس سان جيرمان، واستطرد بوتشيتينو بشأن ذلك: “إنه جزء من تاريخ النادي، وهو أحد أفضل لاعبي النادي”.

وواصل الأرجنتيني الحديث عن مواطنه: “هو وعائلته لديهم قيم إنسانية مهمة جدًا، كان هناك الكثير من العاطفة طوال اليوم، نحن حزينون ولكن هذه هي حياة كرة القدم”.

وعن برنامج الفريق في الأيام المقبلة، أوضح بوتشيتينو: “سنأخذ إجازة لبضعة أيام وبعد ذلك سنلتقي بالنادي ونعمل في الموسم المقبل”.

وأتم بشأن أفضل ذكرى له هذا الموسم: “لا أعلم، الأمر صعب، هناك الكثير منهم، الفوز بالبطولة هو بالتأكيد أفضل ذكرى”.

Paul Pogba contract update

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is reportedly showing no signs of signing a new contract with the club.

What’s the story?

According to The Athletic’s Oliver Kay, the 28-year-old is, so far, unwilling to put pen to paper on a fresh deal at Old Trafford after entering the final year of his current contract.

He tweeted: “#MUFC have a problem. Paul Pogba’s contract expires next summer and he shows no sign of wanting a new deal. No surprise, given he’s wanted out for 3 yrs. Do they 1) make an offer he can’t refuse, 2) lose him on a free next year, 3) sell now? (It’s 3 for me)”.

Solskjaer will be absolutely gutted

The latest update regarding Pogba’s future will surely leave Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer feeling absolutely gutted.

United have taken great strides under the Norwegian tactician, finishing second in the Premier League standings last term while reaching the Europa League final.

Although a penalty shootout defeat to Spanish outfit Villarreal in the showpiece event extended the club’s lengthy trophy drought, Solskjaer has been backed in the current transfer window.

The addition of former Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho has significantly strengthened the Old Trafford outfit’s ranks, and Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane has also been heavily linked with an imminent arrival.

However, losing Pogba would be a substantial setback in United’s progress. The France international became the world’s most expensive player when the Old Trafford outfit re-signed the midfielder for £89 million back in 2016, although he’s often struggled to live up to that price tag.

How much of that fault lies at Pogba’s door is up for debate, though, and he often splits opinion amongst fans, pundits and members of the media alike.

An apparent lack of work rate has often been an unfair stick to beat the former Juventus ace with, although he’s undoubtedly failed to produce consistent top-level performances expected of a player of his ability.

Nevertheless, Pogba has often found himself surrounded by underwhelming teammates playing in a dysfunctional side under a manager failing to live up to United’s expectations; hardly an environment built for stars to flourish.

It’s no surprise then, that the World Cup winner has produced his best performances in a United shirt under Solskjaer.

The added quality of Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire and Edinson Cavani, alongside the stability and harmony that the ex-Molde boss has brought to the red half of Manchester, has allowed Pogba to produce his best football while on English shores, making his potential exit even more distressing.

'Se não ganharmos a Libertadores, será um fracasso', diz Guerra

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras não pode se contentar com nada que não seja o título na Copa Libertadores deste ano. Essa é a opinião de Alejandro Guerra, campeão com o Atlético Nacional (COL) e eleito o melhor jogador da edição do ano passado.

-Penso que o Palmeiras armou uma equipe para ser campeã da Libertadores. Se não o fizermos, vai ser um fracasso. Temos jogadores com muita técnica, muita sabedoria, mas temos que mostrar em cada partida. Hoje em dia não se jogam com nomes, com contratações. Em campo são 11 contra 11. Nossa equipe está sabendo respeitar os rivais, por isso o Palmeiras está indo muito bem nos torneios que está disputando. No Paulista, estamos mostrando que somos bons de visitante e de local. É hora de mostrar isso a nível internacional – disse o camisa 18, nesta segunda-feira.

O Palmeiras lidera o Grupo 5 da Libertadores com quatro pontos, um a mais que o Peñarol, adversário das próximas duas rodadas. Ou seja, o Verdão tem a chance de encaminhar a classificação em primeiro lugar a partir do encontro de quarta-feira, às 21h45 de quarta-feira, no Allianz Parque.

– O Peñarol é uma equipe grande da América do Sul. Enfrentei no ano passado, nos demos bem, mas hoje em dia o futebol muda muito rápido. Nossa equipe está com muita confiança. Penso que vai ser um jogo muito travado, muito duro, e temos que ser muito inteligentes – comentou Guerra.

O venezuelano acredita que a torcida do Palmeiras pode ser o diferencial nesta partida, como foi contra o Jorge Wilstermann (BOL), na vitória por 1 a 0 da rodada anterior. Já foram vendidos mais de 35 mil ingressos.

– É uma torcida muito forte. Contra o Wilstermann, penso que se ganhamos o jogo foi por causa deles. A pressão que eles metem não é normal. Jogam com a gente o tempo todo, ganhamos no último minuto por eles.

Saiba quem o seu time pode enfrentar nas semifinais do Paulistão

MatériaMais Notícias

Restando somente uma partida das quartas de final do Campeonato Paulista, o Estadual ainda não tem nenhum confronto definido nas semifinais. Nesta segunda-feira, o Santos recebe a Ponte Preta no Pacaembu, às 20h, para decidir os duelos da próxima fase – a Macaca venceu o jogo de ida por 1 a 0. A única certeza é a de que será disputado ao menos um clássico, já que Palmeiras, Corinthians e São Paulo já garantiram classificação.

O Palmeiras já sabe que será o melhor semifinalista. Na sexta-feira, o Verdão venceu o Grêmio Novorizontino por 3 a 1. no Pacaembu, e chegou aos 31 pontos, não podendo mais ser alcançado nesta fase. As outras colocações só serão definidas após o jogo desta segunda.

Caso vença o Santos por três ou mais gols de diferença, a Ponte chega aos 28 pontos e iguala o Timão, que venceu o Botafogo-SP por 1 a 0 no domingo, na Arena Corinthians, para garantir sua classificação. Porém, a Macaca levaria vantagem nos critérios de desvantagem, garantindo a segunda posição. Neste cenário, o São Paulo, que avançou vencendo o Linense por 5 a 0 no sábado, no Morumbi, seria o quarto colocado, com 26 pontos.

Se vencer por menos de três gols de diferença, a Ponte se classifica em terceiro, com o Corinthians em segundo e o São Paulo em quarto. Se avançar com empate ou derrota, a Macaca chega às semifinais em quarto, com o Timão em segundo e o Tricolor em terceiro.

O Santos, por sua vez, só pode se classificar na quarta colocação, com Palmeiras em primeiro, Corinthians em segundo e São Paulo em terceiro. Em outras palavras, o Peixe só pode enfrentar o Verdão na próxima fase.

Nas semifinais, o primeiro colocado encara o quarto, e o segundo pega o terceiro. A fase será disputada em formato de ida e volta, e o time de melhor campanha decide em seu estádio. Não há vantagem do empate, e gols marcados fora de casa não contam como critério de desvantagem.

Os pontos das semifinais continuam contando para a final.

Hatfield: Aston Villa will move on quickly after Smith Rowe blow

Aston Villa will move on to other targets after missing out on Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe, says Express & Star journalist Luke Hatfield.

Smith Rowe was a top target for Villa this summer, with the Midlands club putting in two bids for the player.

He has since gone on, however, to sign a new long-term deal at the Emirates, ending any hope Dean Smith had of landing the 20-year-old attacking midfielder.

It is not the end of the world, though, with Hatfield now expecting Villa to move on to other targets. He told FFC:

“I imagine Villa will quickly look to kind of move on to other targets. They’ll have drawn up a list and clearly they had Emile Smith Rowe high up that, but they’ll have other targets to move on to and they’ll quickly move on to them.”

It is unclear if it was Smith Rowe or Leon Bailey or Smith Rowe and Leon Bailey, but whatever the case, it looks like Villa are now trying to buy Bayer Leverkusen’s Jamaican winger.

According to the MailOnline, the Villans are eyeing up a £30m swoop for Bailey, so Smith could yet end up with another attacker to go with the addition of Emiliano Buendia.
