O prognóstico no início do ano no Botafogo não era do mais favorável. Apesar de não empolgar no Carioca, o Glorioso chegou à final da competição ficando com o vice-campeonato. Mesmo com um mau início no Brasileiro, o Botafogo conseguiu se reerguer na competição, principalmente, quando Jair Ventura assumiu o comando técnico, após a saída de Ricardo Gomes para o São Paulo. O Botafogo fez um segundo turno impressionante e contou com atuações de destaque do meia Camilo, do goleiro Sidão e da força do conjunto para alcançar a 5ª colocação do Brasileiro e a vaga para a Libertadores de 2017.

Everton interested in signing Wilfried Zaha

Everton have been no strangers to spending big in recent years but if they are to finally break into the Premier League’s top six, they will have to spend again this summer.

One of Carlo Ancelotti’s biggest priorities in the transfer market is to sign a winger. Strangely enough, they could find that in a player they’ve targeted for a number of years.

What’s the word?

It wouldn’t be a transfer window without Everton considering a move for Wilfried Zaha.

Back in 2019, the Toffees planted a jaw-dropping bid of £70m plus Cenk Tosun and James McCarthy but it was amazingly rejected by Crystal Palace.

Ancelotti’s men were interested in the Ivorian again last summer but reports of a fresh switch are beginning to emerge again.

According to Goal, Everton are set to battle Spurs to sign Zaha in a £40m chase.

However, a deal could be complicated by a new manager arriving and Ebere Eze’s long-term injury at Selhurst Park.

Bolasie 2.0

This deal has plenty of similarities to the one that brought Yannick Bolasie to Goodison Park back in 2016 for £25m.

A lively trickster, Bolasie had set the Premier League alight with some devastating moments of play for Palace.

Unfortunately, his career tailed off after his move to Merseyside. The winger only played 32 games for the Toffees before an ACL injury ruined his stay.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-everton-transfer-news-lukaku-leao-bissouma-berge-antony” title=”Read the latest Everton transfer news!”]

He looked promising but ultimately failed to thrive at Goodison.

Zaha is comparable in terms of their style of play but hopefully, he’d be able to avoid the treatment table if he made the same move from London.

He has been a wonderful servant for Palace and on his day, he is one of the most electrifying players in the Premier League.

If he did pen terms with Ancelotti’s side, he’d be a marvellous capture. Speaking about the forward after being linked with Arsenal, Mikel Arteta said this term: “I think he’s a terrific player and I think the impact he’s had in the Premier League in the last few years has been phenomenal. His ability to create chances on his own is unique.”

Ian Wright, meanwhile, described him as “unstoppable” after a clash with Norwich last season.

It’s certainly easy to see why. Zaha’s dribbling stats are remarkable. Throughout his career, the 28-year-old has amassed 3.6 dribbles per game. That’s fairly similar to Bolasie’s tally of 2.9 during his final term with Palace.

Combine that number with the goals Zaha has now added to his game – he netted 11 this term – and it makes for a very attractive signing.

Marcel Brands must do his best to finally lure the Ivory Coast international to Everton.

AND in other news, Everton eye move for “exceptional” 17-goal monster, he’d be a huge upgrade on Iwobi…

Desejo de Victor e dedo do presidente: a permanência do lateral no Botafogo

MatériaMais Notícias

A novela envolvendo a permanência de Victor Luís teve um final feliz na última sexta-feira, com o acerto oficializado entre o lateral e o Botafogo. E dois foram os principais motivos da permanência do jogador de 23 anos em General Severiano para 2017: o desejo próprio do atleta e a ação do presidente Carlos Eduardo Pereira na hora de procurar o empresário de Victor e fechar negócio.

Todo o imbróglio anterior para a demora da negociação ser concretizada se deu pela falta de entendimento entre a diretoria e os representantes do jogador, em uma reunião que seria para sacramentar o negócio. Antes próximo, Victor Luís acabou sendo descartado pelo gerente de futebol do Botafogo, Antônio Lopes, pelo desacordo em relação aos valores pedidos.

Então aí entrou o presidente alvinegro. Era desejo de ambas as partes a permanência do jogador. Mesmo com sondagens de outros clubes, como Grêmio, Sport e Ponte Preta, Victor queria ficar no clube. Depois da falha de comunicação entre ambas as partes – com direito a carta do jogador por meio do seu Instagram – o presidente Carlos Eduardo Pereira tomou a frente do negócio e fechou com o empresário do lateral na manhã da última sexta-feira.

Um ponto importante é que Victor Luís tem os seus direitos divididos (60% do Palmeiras e 40% de um grupo de empresários). Toda confusão se deu também porque, no momento em que a diretoria entendia ser o da resolução, o grupo de empresários também quis elevar a pedida e lucrar com o negócio. Uma mudança na legislação esportiva poderia fazer os 40% relativos a este grupo serem anulados. Havia diferença salarial entre os desejos do Botafogo e do atleta, mas não era impeditivo. Quando clube e Victor fizeram valer o desejo mútuo, o consenso foi feito. E logo depois, com a compra da passagem de avião para Victor Luís e para o pai dele, já se sabia que o desfecho seria positivo tanto para o clube quanto ao atleta.

Victor já assinou a renovação com o Palmeiras e a extensão de empréstimo com o Botafogo por um ano. Com a renovação de empréstimo e a contratação de Gilson, o clube agora deve focar suas atenções na contratação de atacantes para fechar o elenco que iniciará a pré-temporada alvinegra no próximo dia 11 deste mês. A estreia na temporada é no dia 25, pelo Campeonato Carioca.

Ex-Saints supremo lifts lid on Liebherr

Former Southampton vice-chairman Les Reed has lifted the lid on his relationship with the club’s owner Katharina Liebherr, confirming that he enjoyed working with her.

Liebherr currently has a 20 per cent stake of the club, having taken ownership of the club in 2010 after the death of her father, Markus.

Reed was first appointed by Saints in 2010, coming in as the Head of Football Development and Support, before later becoming vice-chairman.

Reed has revealed that he was given carte blanche to work largely alone, having been entrusted with a budget by Liebherr, and he says he never needed to double-check with her over any deals, with the decision instead made by himself.

And the 68-year-old, who left the club in 2018, has nothing but praise for the work that Liebherr has done during her time with the club.

Her 20 per cent stake, per The Athletic, includes a veto of any proposed takeover of the club, so she will remain in the background for the foreseeable future, even if she isn’t a front-facing figure at this point.

Speaking exclusively to The Transfer Tavern, Reed said: “The relationship I had with Katharina Liebherr, is she’s been absolutely magnificent for that football club. Just when she thought she was getting some money out, it needed to go back in, and she’s done that all the time.

“When [Nicola] Cortese left, the relationship I had then with Katharina Liebherr meant that we didn’t have a chain of command that we had to get checked and double checked. There was just fantastic trust and therefore decision making was quick, easy and I could act.

“I could sit in a meeting with an agent or with a club about buying a player and make that decision there. I wouldn’t have to go ‘right, I need to go and check with the owner, I need to go and check with the CEO, I need to go and check with the chairman’.

“I could make that decision because she had trusted me to work within the budget and never go over it, which I never did. I could make those decisions.”

PCB XI struggle against England in Lahore

In their last match before the second Test next week, England ended the first day’s play at the picturesque Bagh-e-Jinnah ground in Lahore on 76 for two, with Marcus Trescothick 28 not out and Alec Stewart on 12

Andy Jalil23-Nov-2000In their last match before the second Test next week, England ended the first day’s play at the picturesque Bagh-e-Jinnah ground in Lahore on 76 for two, with Marcus Trescothick 28 not out and Alec Stewart on 12. Test cricket was played on this tree-surrounded ground with parkland all around until 1959, before the present stadium was built.Bad light brought an early end to play – quite normal at this time of the year in these parts – with 17 overs still remaining.The England innings did not get off to a solid start with Nasser Hussain, who opened with Trescothick, losing his wicket for 23 to the second ball after tea, with 38 on the board.Nine runs later the second wicket went with Graeme Hick having made only five. Both fell to catches behind the stumps. But Trescothick and Stewart played some fine strokes. Trescothick opened his account with a flick to leg for four. He has hit three boundaries, one to long-off being particularly pleasing.The two boundaries that Stewart struck were a pull to mid-wicket off Stephen John, who opened the bowling with Fazle Akbar, and then a drive to extra cover in the first over from the leg spinner Shafiq Ahmed.Earlier, England’s bowlers, led by Matthew Hoggard, who claimed four for 13, made short work of the Pakistan Cricket Board XI’s innings after they were put in to bat in this three-day game.It took England just over an hour after lunch to dismiss the Board XI for a modest 117 in just 42.3 overs.Hoggard had begun the slide, having Mohammad Ramzan caught behind without scoring and when Andy Flintoff, at slip, held Salman Butt off Alex Tudor, the opposition had lost both openers for just sixteen.Trescothick’s first ball brought the next wicket with Paul Nixon, behind the stumps, taking the catch. The Board XI were 44 for three and on the same score, the fourth England bowler to be used, Ashley Giles accounted for Bazid Khan. The batsman had flicked to leg only to see the ball rebound off forward short leg to the wicket-keeper for a catch.Trescothick struck again in his fourth over with Hick at second slip taking the catch to dismiss Faisal Naved for one.By lunch the Pakistan Cricket Board XI were 60 for five with England’s bowlers totally dictating the terms. They fared no better after the break, with Tudor having Faisal Iqbal play-on from an attempted off-drive with the total on 80.The seventh wicket stand had taken the score to 103 when Hoggard was brought on for his second spell. He struck with his first ball, having the top scorer Shoaib Malik, 27, caught by Hick at second slip.With Giles claiming his second wicket next and Hoggard accounting for the last two, the Pakistan Board XI had lost their last four wickets for just 14.

Wolves fans fume at Sanderson exit reprot

Wolves have given the ‘green light’ for Dion Sanderson to make a permanent exit in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider.

Former boss Nuno Espirito Santo apparently doubted the defender’s Premier League prospects and reckoned he was better suited to the Championship.

The Portuguese manager left the club at the end of the season, perhaps raising hopes that the Sunderland loanee would be given a chance in 2021/22, but the report claimed that the change in the dugout will make little difference to Sanderson’s situation.

It’s claimed that Wolves value at him at just over £2m, with only a year remaining on his contract. Sunderland are looking to strike a permanent deal for the 21-year-old, but there is competition from clubs in the Championship after a campaign in which he won the admiration of numerous Black Cats supporters for his fine performances.

Sanderson has played one game for Wolves’ senior side, featuring in a 2-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Reading in October 2019.

Fan feed Talking Wolves relayed the report, and here’s what some supporters made of it, with a few urging likely new manager Bruno Lage to “have a look” at the defender before sanctioning his exit from Molineux.

Wolves fans bemoan potential departure of Sanderson

“This is good management isn’t it….loan a player out to get experience, they win young player of the year at that club and get glowing feedback, so we decide to sell him instead of having a look at him to see how much he has developed! Ridiculous.”

“Another mistake, I swear this club at the moment is just sending us bad news 24/7.”

“I hope this isn’t true. Surely it would be wise for Lage to have a look at Dion before any decision is made. Given how good he is working with and bringing through young players, it would seem to make sense.”

“That just about sums us up at the moment, I thought we were supposed to be developing young players for the future, Jeff Shi. He was one of the players that I thought could have made the grade, shame that if it’s true”

Apresentado, Cícero diz que saiu do 'conforto' para jogar no São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

O volante Cícero foi apresentado nesta segunda-feira em Bradenton, nos Estados Unidoso, como reforço do São Paulo para 2017. O jogador, que assinou por dois anos, fará sua segunda passagem pelo clube – atuou entre 2011 e 2012. E disse que saiu de uma zona de conforto no Rio de Janeiro, onde atuava no Fluminense, para defender o Tricolor paulista.

– Eu chego muito motivado. Saí do conforto do Rio de Janeiro, minha mulher é de lá. Meu filho adorava ir para a escolinha, mas eu acho que o jogador de futebol não pode viver numa zona de conforto. E eu tenho um desafio na minha vida, durante uns três quatro anos venho buscando isso na minha vida, de a cada ano tentar ganhar um título porque acho que o jogador para continuar em evidência tem de manter o rendimento de médio para alto. Então é esse pensamento que tenho para o São Paulo e muito motivado por estar voltando – afirmou o jogador, que vestirá a camisa 8, em entrevista coletiva nos Estados Unidos.

Cícero foi uma contratação a pedido do técnico Rogério Ceni. O comandante pensa em utilizá-lo como volante. E é a posição onde o jogador prefere atuar, embora se coloque à disposição para realizar outras funções. Ceni acredita que ele pode jogar na armação ou até de falso 9.

– Meia-armador eu nunca fui. Se precisar que eu faça, eu faço, como todo mundo sabe que eu eu faço outras funções. Mas já faz uns dois anos que venho me firmando como volante, não falo nem segundo volante porque hoje em dia não tem primeiro nem segundo. Mas, vai ser conversado, porque o time tem de ter o encaixe. Se você vai encaixar como atacante ou como latera, só o tempo vai dizer. O mais importante é o time criar uma identidade, que assim faz ficar forte. Lógico que eu tenho a preferência de jogar por volante, onde eu vim me destacando nos últimos anos. Mas depende da consciêntização tática, isso é só no dia a dia que vai ter isso – analisou Cícero.

Uma das motivações de Cícero para retornar ao São Paulo foi a presença de Rogério Ceni como técnico. Ele acredita que o clube pode voltar a conquistar títulos com o ídolo no comando e já vislumbra o momento de erguer a taça ao lado do ex-companheiro de time.

– Eu estou muito feliz de estar com ele, porque é um cara vitorioso, e por que não ele ser vitorioso como treinador? Então, imagina todo mundo se abraçando no fim do ano com vários títulos e com o Rogério como treinador… É uma satisfação enorme, e você vai juntar o útil ao agradável, porque o que ele representa para esse clube, a gente representa muito abaixo – afirmou o volante.

O São Paulo estreia na Florida Cup na próxima quinta-feira, às 22h, contra o River Plate. Cícero tem treinado como volante e pode aparecer como titular.
