O Torneio Otávio Pinto Guimarães (OPG), tradicional competição sub-20 organizada no segundo semestre pela Federação de Futebol do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Ferj) chega neste sábado ao jogo de ida da decisão. Vasco e Flamengo se enfrentam a partir das 16h na Gávea (a volta será no próximo sábado, em São Januário), reeditando mais um Clássico dos Milhões cheio de rivalidade.

O LANCE! conversou com o volante Léo Couto, de 18 anos, do Vasco. Em boa fase na equipe comandada por Rodney Gonçalves, ele chegou ao ápice de entrosamento com nomes já conhecidos no profissional, como Andrey e Evander e inclusive os três começarão entre os titulares na tarde deste sábado. A postura neste primeiro jogo diante do Flamengo será decisiva para buscar o título.

– Nossa postura vai ser a mesma nos dois jogos: vamos para vencer. Precisamos ser obedientes ao que o Rodney nos pedir, assim como tem sido durante o campeonato todo. Eles possuem uma boa equipe, mas não podemos mudar nossa forma de jogar por conta disso. Eu particularmente gostei deles terem sido o nosso adversário nessa final. Será a primeira vez que jogarei contra o Flamengo no sub-20. Espero coroar esse meu início no clube da melhor maneira possível – disse.

No lado do Flamengo, o técnico Gilmar Popoca enalteceu o trabalho que vem sendo desenvolvido nas categorias de base da equipe rubro-negra, que pode ser coroada mais uma vez com o título do OPG. Daniel e Lucas Silva, autores dos gols na vitória sobre o Fluminense na última partida que garantiu a vaga à final, devem ser titulares de novo neste sábado.

– Apesar de ainda ser uma equipe em construção, vemos muito potencial nesse time que estamos montando. Temos atletas de muita qualidade e que exercem uma liderança muito positiva sobre o grupo, que aos poucos vem amadurecendo. Estamos crescendo na hora certa, a hora da decisão, e conquistar esse título é uma meta muito importante para nós. Vamos em busca dele – salientou o comandante.

O site do LANCE! acompanha os principais detalhes do primeiro jogo da final do Torneio Otávio Pinto Guimarães neste sábado à tarde. A entrada dos torcedores no estádio da Gávea é gratuita – mas exclusiva aos rubro-negros, mandante do confronto decisivo de neste sábado.

اختار الدولي الإنجليزي، هاري كين، مُهاجم فريق توتنهام هوتسبير، نجمنا المصري، محمد صلاح، المُحترف في صفوف ليفربول، كأفضل لاعب في البريميرليج لموسم 2021/2022 الجاري.

صلاح الذي يتواجد رفقة منتخب مصر في الكاميرون، لخوض نهائي كأس أمم إفريقيا ضد السنغال، قبل الانضمام إلى الفراعنة، ظهر بشكل رائع مع الريدز، وسجّل 16 هدفًا، وقدم 9 تمريرات حاسمة.

كين أجرى حوارًا مع “أمازون برايم”، واعترف أن صلاح الأفضل في بريميرليج هذا الموسم، واختاره أيضًا ضمن تشكيل أفضل خمسة لاعبين من البريميرليج.

وقال كين عندما سُئل عن أفضل لاعب هذا الموسم في الدوري الإنجليزي: “محمد صلاح كان رائعًا، في الحقيقة أنه يفعل ذلك أمام أكبر فرق الدوري، متواجد بشكل دائم وبدأ الموسم بطريقة رائعة”.

وأضاف: “وذلك هو سبب اقتراب ليفربول من مقدمة جدول الترتيب، هناك لاعبون كبار ويقدمون أداءً فرديًا رائعًا هذا الموسم، لكن لا زال الطريق طويلًا، لذلك سيكون من المثير رؤية كيف سينتهي الموسم”.

وبسؤاله حول أفضل لاعب في العالم لعام 2021، أجاب: “دائما سيكون ليونيل ميسي من الأسماء المرشحة، روبرت ليفاندوفسكي قضى عامًا مميزًا أيضا”.

وتابع “اختياري سيكون بينهما، لأن كلاهما لاعبان رائعان، لكن ميسي توج بلقب كوبا أمريكا والفوز بلقب مع منتخب بلادك لحظة رائعة له ولبلده، لذلك سيكون أحدهما بكل تأكيد”.

وعن أقوى لاعب لعب ضده في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، قال: “بكل وضوح، فيرجيل فان دايك فهو مدافع رائع”.

وأكمل: “يلعب بثبات مع ليفربول وفاز بلقبي الدوري الإنجليزي ودوري الأبطال، هو مدافع قوي ويمر بموسم رائع بعد الإصابة التي غاب بسببها العام الماضي”.

وأردف: “لقد كنت محظوظًا بشكل كافي للعب أمام أفضل المدافعين في العالم، مثل جون تيري في بداية مسيرتي، كان رائعًا”.

واستكمل: “أيضًا، جورجيو كيليني وسيرجيو راموس كلاهما ظلا في مستوى عالٍ لسنوات، وأنا أحب اللعب ضد هذا النوع من اللاعبين”.

وعن فريقه الخماسي من الدوري الإنجليزي: “سيكون أنطونيو كونتي المدير الفني، وهوجو لوريس في حراسة المرمى، سون هيونج مين رفقة صلاح، وساختار نجولو كانتي في خط الوسط”.

واسترسل: “سيكون علي وضع مدافع وسأختار رييس جيمس، يمر بموسم رائع ويقدم حلول هجومية أيضا، لذلك سيكون الفريق هجوميا بشكل كامل”.

وأتم تصريحاته بالحديث عن اللاعب الذي يفضله بين ميسي ورونالدو قائلًا: “سأختار ميسي”.

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has been lavishly praised for his work with the East Midlands club – and justifiably so.

The former Liverpool and Celtic manager has dragged the Foxes from the doldrums of mid-table mediocrity to consistent challengers for the UEFA Champions League positions and an FA Cup semi-final in just a couple of seasons.

The Northern Irishman has now received the ultimate compliment, with World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari saying that Rodgers in on track to be “one of the greatest managers in the world”.

Judging from his managerial CV so far and his immense experience within the game despite his tender years, it is hard to argue with that assessment.

But for a few tricky appointments in his formative years, Rodgers has established himself as an elite coach at every level.

He created a fantastic team at Swansea City, earning the Welsh outfit promotion to the Premier League for the first time with an attractive style of play which earned him the Liverpool job.

At Anfield, the 48-year-old developed the careers of Philippe Coutinho, Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling among many others, whilst also going so close to guiding the Reds to their first Premier League crown, only to miss out to Manchester City.

After his tenure on Merseyside ended, his long wait for silverware came to an end with Celtic. He masterminded two Scottish Premiership title wins, one of those being a stunning unbeaten campaign, whilst also scooping five cup wins.

Having celebrated his 100th match in charge of Leicester City, Rodgers’ influence at the King Power Stadium cannot be understated.

Whilst he may have to go some way to prove that he is one of the elite coaches in the world, a task which will certainly be helped with the addition of more silverware, Scolari’s assessment that the 48-year-old is firmly on the correct route to achieving that status is not far wrong, and it’s praise which is certainly justified.

AND in more news, read why Jamie Vardy’s England decision was absolutely correct…

Celtic’s long wait for a new manager continues well into the closing stages of 2020/21.

Eddie Howe has long been rumoured to be taking over but a deal has apparently yet to be struck with the former AFC Bournemouth manager.

Now, suggestions from Football Insider imply that Dermot Desmond has his eyes on ex-Borussia Dortmund tactician Lucien Favre just in case Howe rejects a move north of the border.

The Swiss should really be club’s first choice as opposed to a Plan B.

The 63-year-old already has an extremely impressive CV within the game having enjoyed spells at Dortmund, OGC Nice, Borussia Monchengladbach and Hertha BSC.

Throughout his long career, Favre has also scooped numerous trophies including the DFL-SuperCup, two Swiss league titles as well as a further two Swiss cups.

Whilst it may be argued he didn’t win a league title in the big European leagues, an aspect that could be true with Favre having failed in his task to claim major silverware in France or Germany, breaking the monopoly of the likes of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain was certainly a harder task than first anticipated.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/latest-celtic-manager-and-transfer-news-roy-keane-nicky-butt-jesse-marsch-scott-brown” title=”Latest Celtic manager and transfer news!”]

It might well be suggested that he would certainly be better suited to claiming silverware in Scotland where there is less of a stranglehold on domestic honours.

Even away from trophies, Favre managed to accumulate a highly impressive record with Dortmund. He claimed a 61% win rate in his time at the Signal Iduna Park.

Compare this to Howe’s 40% win rate whilst with Bournemouth and it is clear that there is a huge difference between the two managers.

Whilst Favre’s spell in Germany did come to an unpleasant ending, it did not stop his players holding him in high regard; 44-cap German international Marco Reus stating that he is “the best” coach he has ever had. And, Mario Gotze simply said that the manager’s approach to things is “outstanding”.

So whilst Favre is part of Celtic’s contingency planning in relation to Howe, the Swiss really should be first choice instead.

With his big-game experience in the Champions League, Favre could help ensure Celtic are a force in European football as they have been domestically in recent seasons, and that just makes him a perfect fit for Desmond.

The former Dortmund boss’ arrival at Celtic Park could kick-start a fresh new era at the club.

AND in more news, take a look at the HUGE transfer error committed by the Hoops…

Former Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie has called for Trezeguet and Anwar El Ghazi to deliver more in an exclusive interview with Football FanCast.

Villa have been without leading man Jack Grealish in recent weeks and it has impacted them. In his absence, they have won just one of their last five matches and have scored just three goals in that period.

Evidently, manager Dean Smith needs a bit more from his attacking players, and Hendrie has put the spotlight on both £8.75m man Trezeguet and the £8m El Ghazi, calling for the duo to step up.

Discussing the two wide men, the ex-Villa star told FFC:

“There has to be a balance. You’ve got to have that work ethic, but you’ve also got to have that creativity and that’s where I feel that Trezeguet just falls short. It’s great when you’re away from home and, you know, you need to get bodies behind the ball and work hard. He does the ugly side of the game well, but I’d like to see him doing a little bit more going the other way.”

Regarding El Ghazi, Hendrie said:

“He is very inconsistent at times. He comes on and he looks an absolute threat, he looks a goal threat, he looks hungry for scoring goals. But I think the way Villa play, sometimes I think you need a bit of a balance. He doesn’t always have to come inside and take them shots on, he’s got to be looking to maybe slip [Ollie] Watkins through.”

Trezeguet scored six goals in the Premier League last season but is yet to find the back of the net in the current campaign. As for El Ghazi, the 25-year-old has actually bettered his record from last term.

He has registered six strikes, two more than his entire league total from 2019/20, showing that the Dutch winger can produce moments of quality. However, only one of those goals came in the absence of Grealish, the 1-0 win over Leeds.

Undoubtedly, Villa’s attack is lacking at times, especially when their captain is unavailable, perhaps giving Smith something to think about ahead of the summer transfer window.

أكد عامر حسين رئيس لجنة المسابقات برابطة الأندية، أن نظام بطولة كأس الرابطة سيتغير في الموسم المُقبل، لافتا إلى أن إقامتها بنظامها الحالي أمر استثنائي.

وأعلنت رابطة الأندية في وقت سابق، أن نظام البطولة هو تقسيم الـ 18 ناديًا على 3 مجموعات، على رأس كل منها الأهلي والزمالك وبيراميدز، وسيتم لعبها في فترة توقف الدوري بسبب الأجندة الدولية.

وقال عامر حسين في تصريحات خاصة لـ”بطولات”: “كأس الرابطة في النسخة المُقبلة سيقام بنظام خروج المغلوب وليس مجموعات مثل النسخة الحالية”.

وأوضح: “النسخة الحالية تقام خلال وقت توقف طويل لإقامة بطولة كأس الأمم الإفريقية، لكن النسخة المُقبلة لن تكون هناك أمم إفريقيا وبالتالي فلا يوجد وقت كبير لإقامة المباريات؛ ولذلك تقام بنظام خروج المغلوب حتى تستهلك وقتًا أقل”.

ومن المقرر أن يتم سحب قرعة بطولة كأس الرابطة، اليوم الإثنين، في أحد فنادق القاهرة، بحضور ممثلي الـ18 ناديًا في الدوري المصري الممتاز.

أكد نادي الهلال السوداني على صعوبة المجموعة الأولى في بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا بعد إجراء القرعة يوم أمس، الثلاثاء، بمقر الاتحاد الإفريقي لكرة القدم “كاف” في “القاهرة”.

ووضعت القرعة نادي الهلال رفقة الأهلي (مصر)، المريخ (السودان) وماميلودي صن داونز (جنوب إفريقيا)، ويلعب الهلال في الجولة الأولى أمام منافسه الجنوب إفريقي خارج أرضه أحد يومي 11 و12 فبراير 2022.

وتواصل “btolat.com” مع مديرة قناة لنادي الهلال السوداني، فاطمة الصادق، وتحدثت عن المجموعة الأولى وقالت: “قرعة صعبة ولكن الهلال عودنا أن يظهر بشكل جيد في المباريات الصعبة”.

وتابعت: “وضع الهلال أفضل من الموسم الماضي وأعتقد أن الصفقات الجديدة يمكن أن تصنع الفارق وتظهر الفريق بشكل محترم لو تمكن المدرب من توظيف العناصر بشكل جيد داخل الملعب”.

وأضافت: “الهلال لعب مع الأهلي أكثر من مرة ويعرف الأهلي جيدًا، وبالطبع يعرف المريخ ومفاتيح اللعب فيه وعناصره”.

وواصلت تصريحاته: “لا أعتقد أن صن داونز بالصعوبة الكبيرة التي قد ترعب الهلال، وأثق في أن الفريق سيظهر بصورة قوية في تلك النسخة من دوري أبطال إفريقيا”.

وعن مشكلة اللعب خارج السودان واستبعاد ملعب “الجوهرة الزرقاء” حتى الآن: “لقد اكتملت جميع الشروط المطلوبة لعودتنا للعب في ملعبنا، وسيرسل الكاف وفد خلال شهر يناير للتأكد من ذلك وأعتقد بعد ذلك سيتمكن الهلال من اللعب على ملعبه”.

وأتمت: “ولكن إذا لم يحدث ذلك فستكون مشكلة الملاعب حسب تقديري خصمًا على الهلال والمريخ في مبارياته في دوري أبطال إفريقيا”.

O Botafogo vai, aos poucos, perdendo o rótulo de patinho feio entre os quatro grandes do Rio. O Alvinegro está longe de ter um elenco dos sonhos da torcida (precisa de bons reforços para não passar sufoco no Brasileiro). No entanto, o time de Ricardo Gomes segue conseguindo resultados bem animadores para o cenário inicial pensado por todos.

Neste domingo o Botafogo perdeu os 100% de aproveitamento. Contudo, fez um clássico equilibrado diante do Vasco, atual campeão carioca e equipe com maior entrosamento entre os candidatos ao título. O empate, com o golaço do zagueiro Emerson no fim, foi um prêmio para a justiça da partida. Afinal, os dois times estiveram longe de fazer um duelo vistoso. Porém, lutaram durante os 90 minutos pelo triunfo, com chances de gols para ambos os lados.

O Vasco acumula o segundo empate seguido e Jorginho já precisa repensar algumas situações. Pressionado pelo jovem time do Botafogo, teve problemas com a saída de bola. Jorge Henrique e Julio dos Santos destoam dos demais no quesito regularidade. Foi arriscado escalar Rodrigo, que não repetiu boas atuações por conta do ombro machucado.

Em Volta Redonda, o Flamengo deu sinais claros que Muricy Ramalho achou o time ideal para o esquema 4-3-3. Mesmo diante de um frágil Resende e com dois gols nos cinco minutos iniciais, o Rubro-Negro mostrou boas trocas de passe e jogadas em velocidade.

Mancuello dita o ritmo do meio de campo com ótimos lançamentos e precisão na bola parada. Portanto, é para ficar preocupado dependendo do tamanho da lesão. Se Muricy acertar enfim a defesa, a torcida pode esperar uma equipe cada vez mais regular em campo.

E o Fluminense? Só entra em campo na quarta-feira. Mas fará isso com uma pressão “menor”. Afinal, mesmo em crise e precisando vencer o Friburguense fora de casa, o Tricolor foi ajudado na rodada pelos resultados. A vitória do América foi o principal deles.

Glasgow Rangers have been given a major boost in the race to sign Thomas Robert, after Airdrie director of football Stuart Millar said it is “no surprise” that he has been linked with a move away from New Broomfield.

What’s the word?

According to The Scottish Sun, Hibernian and Hearts are keeping tabs on the midfielder, whilst Celtic have also shown a keen interest in acquiring his services.

Robert, who is the son of former Newcastle United star Laurent, has been in such fine form since he arrived at the Diamonds from Montpellier in the summer.

And with recent reports suggesting that Rangers have entered the race to sign Robert in January, they have received a major boost as the League One side seem resigned to his fate.

Millar said: “We are aware a number of clubs are monitoring Thomas Robert’s situation, which is no great surprise considering the impact the young lad has had in a short space of time at our club, winning both our club and divisional player of the month awards.”

Snap him up, Wilson

With the Diamonds seemingly admitting defeat, Rangers will have to act quickly if they want to lure him to Ibrox in the winter transfer window.

Robert, 20, is a Parisian-born right-winger who has shown signs of early promise at New Broomfield, whilst his contract is set to expire next summer, which means both sides of the Old Firm could secure his services on a pre-contract deal if they can reach an agreement with his representatives.

In 11 appearances so far this season, the youngster has scored three goals and supplied two assists in the league. In stark contrast, Jordan Jones has managed just one goal in four games for the Gers in all competitions, via Transfermarkt.

Millar was effusive in his praise for the Frenchman after he turned down a four-year deal with Montpellier to agree terms with the Diamonds, saying: “We are delighted to get someone to the club who is the stature of Thomas Robert. He comes from a top football background with his father having played in the Premier League, for PSG and for the French national team. It’s a major signing coup for the club and we are absolutely thrilled. He had the option to sign a four-year deal with Montpellier but didn’t want to be playing under-23 football. He wanted to go overseas and test himself.

“He could have played for any team in Europe, really, he had two teams from the Bundesliga trying to tempt him just last week but this was agreed and waiting approval from the French football authorities. He came to the club and was impressed and decided this was the place he wanted to play his football. He is a talent and comes with a real pedigree. He could play anywhere he wants, he is that good.”

It’s fair to say that Robert could turn out to be an absolute bargain if Ross Wilson can get a deal over the line in January, as his sell-on value will continue to rise if he can maintain his current run of form.

AND in other news, Glasgow Rangers must reward Glen Kamara with a new contract…

According to Football.London, Emiliano Buendia is one of a number of players who is on Arsenal’s transfer shortlist.

What’s the story?

The Gunners have been crying out for someone with a bit of creativity all season, with Mikel Arteta’s side managing just ten goals in their opening 11 Premier League games.

Now, Football.London have claimed that the north Londoners do appear to be keen on addressing that issue in the upcoming January transfer window, with Buendia among the names being considered.

However, it is added that no contact has been made as of yet, and that any departure from Carrow Road next month will be entirely dependent on the Championship side themselves.

Forget Aouar

Whilst the summer transfer window saw Lyon prodigy Houssem Aouar being linked with a switch to the Emirates, the Gunners could land themselves a very good alternative in Buendia.

The Argentine of course played in the Premier League with Norwich last season, and his total of 86 chances created were only bettered by Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Trent Alexander-Arnold – not bad company at all.

Given that he is now playing in the division below, Arsenal should surely feel confident in their ability to convince Norwich to allow Buendia to leave.

The £11.7m-rated ace has been dubbed a “revelation”, and the diminutive play-maker could offer the kind of creative spark and genius that the Gunners desperately need to fix their shocking attack.

Meanwhile, the Gunners should also look to target this sensation in the January transfer window.
