Já classificado para as quartas de final do Paulistão, o Palmeiras escalou reservas contra o São Caetano e se deu mal: derrota por 1 a 0 no Allianz Parque, gol de Chiquinho, ex-Santos e Flamengo. Na quinta, o Verdão joga em casa novamente, contra o São Paulo.

A ideia de Roger Machado era dar ritmo a quem não vinha jogando e fazer observações – Guerra, por exemplo, jogou o primeiro tempo como centroavante -, mas a torcida não quis saber e vaiou.

O Verdão não vence há quatro jogos na competição (dois empates e duas derrotas), mas segue tranquilo na liderança do Grupo C, com seis pontos à frente do vice-líder Novorizontino, e também ocupa o topo da classificação geral, com 20 pontos, contra 18 do Santos.

O São Caetano do técnico Pintado soma três vitórias seguidas e ocupa a segunda colocação do Grupo B, um ponto atrás do São Paulo. Na quinta, recebe o Botafogo-SP.

O alvo
Fabiano, que fazia a sua estreia em 2018, falhou no gol do São Caetano. Ele não se entendeu com Bruno Henrique na marcação, deixou a bola cruzada por Alex Reinaldo passar e viu Chiquinho finalizar para o gol às suas costas. Eram só 6 minutos, e a torcida já tinha elegido o lateral como maior alvo para as reclamações.

A irritação aumentava a cada erro. O Palmeiras poderia ter empatado com Thiago Santos, que acertou um cabeceio no travessão, mas também poderia ter visto a desvantagem aumentar aos 41 do primeiro tempo. Ferreira marcou de cabeça, mas o árbitro apontou falta em Fernando Prass, que tropeçou em um adversário ajoelhado atrás dele.

Segundo tempo melhor
Willian, um dos únicos titulares que estavam no banco, ganhou a vaga de Tchê Tchê logo no intervalo e assumiu a posição de centroavante. Guerra passou toda a primeira etapa brigando com os zagueiros do Azulão, mas não rendeu como “9” – até porque a bola só chegou quadrada.

Com o venezuelano na criação, o time melhorou. As atenções estavam voltadas para Gustavo Scarpa, titular pela primeira vez, mas foram de Keno as jogadas que deixaram o time mais perto do empate. O camisa 11 teve pelo menos três chances de marcar, mas parou em Helton Leite.

Scarpa, aliás, rendeu bem pouco enquanto esteve aberto pela ponta direita, posição que Roger considera a ideal para ele. Seus melhores momentos na partida foram pelo outro lado, quando inverteu com Keno.

Moisés de volta
Moisés entrou bem no lugar de Bruno Henrique, aos 14 minutos. Mesmo que ainda esteja sem ritmo, o camisa 10 participou bastante e fez o jogo fluir com bons passes. A última cartada foi a entrada do jovem centroavante Papagaio na vaga de Guerra. Ele entrou ligado, sem medo, mas também não mudou o placar.

Leeds United fans won’t want to hear what The Athletic’s Phil Hay has to say about deadline day at Elland Road…

What’s the word?

Speaking on Twitter, the ever-reliable reporter delivered a gutting claim about the likelihood of the Whites conducting any sort of business before the 11pm deadline.

“As for incomings at Elland Road, still expecting a quiet day,” he revealed.

In just 11 words, Hay has surely ruined the hopes and dreams of many supporters around west Yorkshire with just a few hours left to go.

Gutting news

Much of the Leeds faithful have been desperate to see Marcelo Bielsa handed some reinforcements to his decimated squad this month but it appears as if it just isn’t going to happen.

Their attempts to bring a new midfielder to the club have fallen short after seeing bids of £15m and £20m rejected by RB Salzburg for their star maestro Brenden Aaronson.

[snack-amp-story url = “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-united-lufc-transfer-rumours-gossip-bielsa-orta-radrizzani-elland-road-updates” title=”Read the latest Leeds news, transfer updates and much, much more!”]

That’s a deal that is expected to happen in the summer instead, meaning Leeds haven’t signed anyone for the engine room for four years now when Adam Forshaw joined from Middlesbrough in January 2018.

That area of the pitch has been a pressing need with influential England international Kalvin Phillips, who was subject of interest from West Ham United in the past few days, absent through injury until March at the earliest.

He along with skipper Liam Cooper and last season’s leading talisman Patrick Bamford have been huge absentees for the Yorkshiremen.

There have been times where Bielsa has been without as many as 11 first-team players in the Premier League, leaving him to fill the bench with academy players who simply aren’t ready for a crack at the big time.

This latest bombshell from Hay will leave many around Elland Road absolutely furious, that’s for sure.

كشفت رافاييلا بيمينتا، وكيلة أعمال نجم فريق مانشستر سيتي، إيرلينج هالاند، أنه سيتم الإعلان قريبًا عن الراعي الجديد للنرويجي، حيث ستكون أكبر صفقة رعاية في تاريخ كرة القدم.

وكانت رافاييلا بيمينتا قد تحدثت قبل أيام، وأشارت إلى أن القيمة التسويقية لـ هالاند قد تصل في المستقبل إلى مليار جنيه إسترليني.

وقالت رافاييلا بيمينتا في تصريحات جديدة نشرتها صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية: “عندما تحدثت عن قيمة هالاند، كنت أفكر في كل شيء، قيمته كرسوم انتقال وصوره، لا أعرف ما إذا كان هناك ناد سيدفع في المستقبل القريب مليار جنيه إسترليني للاعب، في المستقبل البعيد، أليس كذلك؟ في المستقبل القريب لا أستطيع إخبارك”.

وأضافت: “لكن عندما تم نقل بول بوجبا مقابل 89 مليون جنيه إسترليني، إذا لم أكن مخطئة، فهذا أمر لا يصدق، يا إلهي كيف يمكن ذلك؟ إنه رقم قياسي، إنه سجل قياسي آنذاك”.

وواصلت: “اليوم، إذا تحدثنا عن 90 مليونًا ما أريد قوله هو أنه أصبح رقمًا مقبولاً في السوق، عندما تم نقل بول إلى مانشستر يونايتد، إذا كان هناك من يفكر في مبابي مقابل 300 مليون يورو، كان لا بد من نقله إلى المستشفى (جراء الصدمة)، لذا فإن هذه الأرقام ترتفع مع ارتفاع قيمة هذه الرياضة”.

وأردفت: “كل شيء زاد، زادت العمولة، وزاد سعر التذكرة، وزادت حقوق البث التلفزيوني، وزاد عقد الرعاية، عندما بدأت قبل 20 عامًا ، لم أكن لأصل أبدًا إلى أرقام الرعاية التي نناقشها اليوم من أجل هالاند”.

وأكدت: “سنعلن عن الراعي الجديد لـ هالاند قريبًا وهي أكبر صفقة رعاية في تاريخ كرة القدم! لكنني متأكد بعد ثلاث سنوات من الآن، عندما أرى هذا العقد، سأقول (يا له من عقد رهيب)، أليس كذلك؟ لذا فإن احتمالية الحصول على مليار جنيه تأتي من هذا، من نمو هذه الرياضة، وهي كبيرة جدًا من حيث الأرقام”.

واستمرت: “يعلم الجميع أن هالاند كان يلعب بدون راع لفترة من الوقت والآن حان الوقت، أليس كذلك؟ لذلك يجب أن نعلن عنه قريبًا جدًا، القيمة؟ إذا تحدثت عنها الآن، سنفقد الراعي، لذلك أعتقد أنه من الأفضل عدم الكلام”.

Sky Sports News have revealed what they know about Leeds United’s pursuit of RB Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson.

The Lowdown: Leeds making moves

The Whites have taken their time when it comes to making moves in the January transfer window, but it seems as if Victor Orta and co are finally acting on possible midfield additions.

According to The Athletic’s Sam Stejskal, the Whites have had a £15m offer rejected for Aaronson and are intent on signing him before the end of the month.

The Mirror’s David Anderson has also revealed that Leeds have made a bid for another unnamed player, with Orta ‘busy’ working on incomings.

The Latest: Sky Sports News claim

Sky Sports News shared details of Leeds’ interest in Aaronson on Tuesday evening.

In their Transfer Centre blog (18/01, 20:33), they revealed that talks have been held over a possible move, however, they didn’t make any mention of a £15m bid an hour on from Stejskal’s claim.

They also added:

“Sky Sports News has been told that Philadelphia Union would be due a significant percentage of any transfer fee for Aaronson.”

That news could perhaps be the reason behind Salzburg’s rejection of the opening bid, with a bigger fee needed to tempt them when a chunk of it will go straight to the MLS outfit.

The Verdict: Needed

Marcelo Bielsa is yet to make a permanent midfield signing at Elland Road but now appears to be the right time with options limited.

Aaronson is primarily an attacking midfielder, something Leeds don’t have at this moment in time. He also has experience at the highest level for both club and country, and at the age of 21, you’d expect his current £10.8m Transfermarkt valuation will only increase.

Therefore, a winter window transfer could be a smart one in both the short and long term, so hopefully, Orta can get a deal over the line over the line in the next two weeks.

Celtic midfielder Ismaila Soro has been left out of Ange Postecoglou’s Europa Conference League squad, Football Scotland report.

The Lowdown: Soro under Ange

Soro, labelled as a player with ‘real drive’ by Neil Lennon, has made 19 appearances under Postecoglou this season.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-21/” title=”Celtic updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

However, only six of those have come as a starter, making just one appearance in the Scottish Premiership from the off.

He appears to have fallen down the midfield pecking order in recent months and nearly sealed a deadline day exit to join Fortuna Sittard after being transfer listed.

The Latest: Major squad update

Relayed by Football Scotland’s Mark McDougall, Soro has been left out of the club’s 25-man Europa Conference League squad ahead of the clash with Bodo/Glimt.

Soro, along with Osaze Urhoghide and Liam Shaw, who left on loan last month, have been excluded, with January signings Reo Hatate, Matt O’Riley and Daizen Maeda coming in.

The Verdict: Makes sense

With Soro barely featuring under Postecoglou, it seems to be the right call to leave him out so the new arrivals can be included.

The Hoops still have six central midfielders to pick from in their 25-man squad, including David Turnbull, who may end up returning from injury this month following his inclusion.

Soro still has over two years remaining on his Celtic contract, so you’d expect that the club will be looking to move him on in the summer, or perhaps over the coming weeks, with some countries still able to complete their winter business.

O centroavante Lucas Pratto está na mira do River Plate, da Argentina. Depois de ser sondado pelo Cruzeiro nas últimas semanas, o atacante virou um dos principais alvos do clube de Buenos Aires para a disputa da Copa Libertadores do ano que vem. O próprio jogador disse que se houver uma proposta ficará seduzido para regressar ao seu país-natal.

– O São Paulo sempre me tratou muito bem, não digo que quero ir embora. Mas se o River quer me contratar, isso me seduz. É uma questão dos clubes e não minha. Se uma oferta chegar, veremos se o São Paulo está disposto a negociar. As únicas informações que tenho é o que ouço através da mídia”, disse Lucas Prattto para o TNT Sports, canal televisivo da Argentina.

De acordo com os hermanos, o River estaria disposto a pagar algo em torno de US$10 milhões (R$ 33 milhões) para tirar o jogador do São Paulo. Em fevereiro deste ano, o clube do Morumbi pagou algo em torno de R$ 21 milhões ao Atlético-MG para ficar com 50% dos direitos do atacante. O Tricolor ainda deve pagar 1,5 milhão de euros (R$ 5,8 milhões) no mês que vem por mais 15%. Por contrato, o Tricolor poderá desembolsar ainda ao Galo 1,5 milhão de euros em janeiro de 2019 e 2020 até ficar com 95%¨do atacante.

Minutos antes da entrevista de Pratto, Gustavo Goñi – representante do jogador – conversou com um outro canal televisivo do país e disse que o centroavante gostaria de retornar para a Argentina.

– O Lucas gostaria de voltar para a Argentina para ficar mais próximo de sua filha. Ele está disposto a escutar. Se a oferta é boa, Pratto vê com bons olhos voltar ao país, disse Goñi para o TycSports.

Procurado pela reportagem, Gustavo Goñi não atendeu as chamadas. O empresário visualizou as mensagens, mas não respondeu.

A number of West Ham fans have been praising Pablo Fornals after he appeared in his 100th game for the club at the weekend.

The Hammers were held to a 0-0 draw as they faced off against Burnley in an underwhelming performance at Turf Moor. However, there was one positive from the game – fan favourite Fornals racked up a century of appearances for the east London club.

The Spanish midfielder came on as a substitute in the 80th minute, replacing Argentine international Manuel Lanzini.

Despite recently losing his place in the starting XI, the attacking-midfielder remains the Irons’ second highest scorer in the Premier League this season behind centre-forward Michail Antonio,  having scored four times in 16 top-flight appearances during the current campaign.

Fornals has been hailed for his great attitude and hard-working nature. The club’s former defender Tony Gale praised the Spaniard in a recent interview, saying: “I don’t think there’s a fitter man at West Ham. He’s a workaholic, his work rate is phenomenal.”

Since joining the Hammers from Villarreal in 2019 for £24m, the 25-year-old has contributed 14 goals and 13 assists, making himself a near-permanent fixture in the first XI under David Moyes. He is also among the squad’s top performers in terms of tackles, shots and key passes per game, an indication of his all-round value to the team.

Fans flock to praise Fornals

West Ham took to Twitter to congratulate Fornals in a post celebrating the Spaniard making his 100th appearance for the club. Many supporters posted their appreciation for the player’s efforts in response, with one fan hailing him as a “baller”.

Here a flavour of the reactions:

Aproveitar o feriado para descansar? Não na Cidade do Galo. Nesta quinta-feira, o técnico Oswaldo de Oliveira comandou o segundo treino com os titulares de olho na partida contra o Santos, que acontece neste sábado. Assim como na quarta, o treinador manteve Cazares no lugar de Valdívia, que trabalhou com os reservas.

Fora do último treino com bola, Adilson voltou a treinar normalmente. O volante voltou ao grupo titular na vaga que foi ocupada por Yago durante sua ausência. Com as alterações, o time foi escalado no 4-2-3-1, intercalando com 4-4-2, com Robinho atuando mais à frente. A equipe titular da atividade foi formada por Victor; Marcos Rocha, Leonardo Silva, Gabriel e Fábio Santos; Adilson e Elias; Otero, Robinho e Cazares; Fred.

Com o sonho de garantir uma vaga na Libertadores, Oswaldo de Oliveira cobrou movimentação e transições rápidas. Jogadas com bolas paradas também foram destaque no treino.

Na manhã desta sexta-feira, o Atlético-MG volta à Cidade do Galo para encerrar sua preparação. Na parte da tarde, a delegação segue viagem para o litoral paulista. Caso vença o confronto com o Santos, marcado para às 17h deste sábado, o Galo se aproximará ainda mais do G7.

Rangers will be looking to continue their fine form in the Scottish Premiership as Giovanni van Bronkhorst’s side return to action at Ibrox tonight.

They play host to St Johnstone three days after beating Hearts 2-0 away from home to maintain their four-point lead over Celtic in the table.

Alfredo Morelos and Joe Aribo scored the winning goals for the Gers in the first half, with the Dutchman’s team able to hold on for a clean sheet.

How many changes will he make to the team? Here is our predicted XI…

We are predicting that he will make three alterations to the side, with Ianis Hagi, Steven Davis and Nathan Patterson coming in.

In his pre-match press conference, van Bronckhorst confirmed that he will be missing two players due to injury, revealing:

“Kemar (Roofe) has a setback and will hopefully return before the winter break. Ryan (Jack) we hope to have him back fully fit after the winter break. No fresh injuries from the match on Sunday.”

We are predicting that there will be a change in central midfield to keep the team fresh and avoid overplaying players during the festive period. Jack will be unable to slot in due to his knock and that could open the door for Steven Davis to come in for Glen Kamara.

The Finland international lost three of his five duels against Hearts and failed to make a single tackle or interception, suggesting that he could benefit from being axed in midweek before returning at the weekend as he was slightly off the pace. Davis is an experienced operator and can slot straight into the side for this match to play alongside Joe Aribo.

At right-back, Nathan Patterson could come in to offer James Tavernier in a move with a similar thought process to the Kamara switch. The ex-Newcastle man has started 15 of the 17 league matches this season and could drop to the bench to allow the youngster, who has four appearances in the Premiership this term, a chance to get some minutes under his belt.

Finally, Hagi could come in to replace Scott Arfield in the number 10 position. FFC published an article explaining why the £21k-per-week Romanian gem should be unleashed from the start after Arfield failed to catch the eye with his performance on Sunday.

The rest of the team could remain the same with, Allan McGregor, Calvin Bassey, Borna Barisic, Connor Goldson, Aribo, Fashion Sakala, Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos remaining.
