Aos 34 anos e com um currículo repleto de experiências, Souza ‘Caveirão”, vai liderando o Madureira em busca do título do Campeonato Carioca. Voltou ao Tricolor suburbano em 2016, mas devido a uma lesão no joelho ficou afastado dos gramados durante toda a temporada. Em 2017, a história começou diferente para o atacante, que mesmo com apenas um gol marcado até agora no Cariocão, vem melhorando a cada jogo e pensa, com cautela, voltar um dia a disputar a Série A do Brasileirão. Competição que já foi artilheiro em 2006, quando atuava pelo Goiás.

– O meu futuro para jogar a Série A ou serie B desse ano eu vou deixar acontecer naturalmente, até porque fiquei um ano parado e a cada jogo que passa estou me sentindo cada vez melhor. Quando parar o Carioca vou fazer uma avaliação de como estou me sentindo e vou ver se tenho condição ou não – Contou com exclusividade ao LANCE!

No Madureira, Souza voltou a trabalhar com PC Gusmão, técnico com quem trabalhou durante sua passagem no Vasco. O atacante contou que está muito feliz e que as coisas estão acontecendo dentro do planejamento feito para a temporada.

“Tudo o que eu fiz, não me arrependo de nada”

Souza ficou muito marcado por conta de algumas polêmicas durante sua carreira. O atacante que comemorou um gol fazendo gesto de choro, provocando a torcida do Botafogo, durante sua passagem pelo Flamengo, contou que essa má fama fechou algumas portas em sua carreira, mas que não se arrepende de nada.

– Tudo o que eu fiz, não me arrependo de nada. Mas esse caminho fechou algumas portas sim, mas não me arrependo de ter fechado nenhuma delas. – Afirmou o jogador.

Flamenguista de coração e apaixonado pelo Tricolor Suburbano, Souza afirma que o reencontro com o rubro-negro será diferente e terá um gosto especial. Mas que fará o melhor pelo clube que está defendendo, e se sair vitorioso vai comemorar com os amigos.

– Flamengo é meu time de coração. Flamengo e Madureira são os meus times. Com treze anos de idade cheguei ao Madureira, é o time que me acolheu. tenho um carinho muito grande. Sempre quis voltar ao Madureira, o Flamengo é o meu time de coração, sempre torci pelo Flamengo, vai ser diferente, são dois times que gosto muito, mas vou fazer o melhor pelo clube que estou defendendo a camisa e vou comemorar com os amigos. –

Na próxima rodada da Taça Guanabara, o Madureira encara o Flamengo visando a liderança do Grupo B. Com 10 pontos na competição, o Tricolor suburbano tem três vitórias no campeonato e apenas um empate. A partida acontece hoje, às 17.

Confira o bate-bola completo com o atacante:
​
​​Dos técnicos com quem trabalhou ao longo da carreira, quais foram mais marcantes?

– Tive vários treinadores que me marcaram muito, tive Joel e tive Geninho quando fui artilheiro do Campeonato Brasileiro (Pelo Goiás em 2006).

Em 2016, você voltou ao clube e acabou se lesionando, como foi para você da a volta por cima e retorna aos gramados em 2017? O que mais te motivou?

– Foi a conversa que tive com o presidente, mas nem só a conversa com o presidente, meus familiares, amigos que estiveram comigo no dia a dia me motivaram a jogar.

Você pretende voltar ao Flamengo algum dia? Seja como jogador ou com alguma outra função no departamento de futebol?

– Não passa pela minha cabeça isso não. Ainda não passa pela minha cabeça.

Por ser um jogador polêmico, você acredita que esse seu lado fechou algumas portas e te prejudicou na carreira?

– Tudo o que eu fiz não me arrependo de nada, mas esse caminho fechou algumas portas sim, mas não me arrependo de ter fechado nenhuma delas.

Perguntado sobre qual time será campeão da Libertadores, Souza respondeu sem pensar duas vezes:

– Flamengo.

Liverpool are prepared to let Kostas Tsimikas leave the club this summer after he struggled to make an impact last season.

What’s the story?

According to well-known journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano (as reported by the Liverpool Echo), the 25-year-old is deemed surplus to requirements on Merseyside and could depart after a single campaign with the English giants.

Tsimikas joined Jurgen Klopp’s charges in an £11.75 million deal from Greek outfit Olympiakos 12 months ago but found opportunities extremely limited thanks to the performances of Andrew Robertson.

Fans will be buzzing

After struggling with multiple injuries in the first half of the campaign, Tsimikas then found himself firmly behind Robertson upon his return to fitness.

This combination limited the Greece international to just three starts in all competitions throughout 2020/21 and just five minutes of Premier League action.

Although his handful of cameo appearances may not be enough to judge the full-back’s talent, a large section of the Liverpool supporters will be buzzing to hear Tsimikas’ nightmare spell may already be coming to an end.

Romano stated: “Let’s see what happens with Tsimikas. He can leave the club,” on a recent edition of his Here We Go podcast, and the revelation may lead to a boost in the club’s transfer budget for the current window.

With the ongoing pandemic continuing to limit the spending power of teams at every level, selling some fringe players appears to be the logical solution to supplement the coffers.

The likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Divock Origi and Harry Wilson have been linked with a Liverpool exit as a result, and it seems as though Tsimikas is the latest flop to be put up for sale.

It remains to be seen if any side comes in for the unwanted full-back but the departure of the £7.2 million-rated Tsimikas could allow Klopp more room to manoeuvre in the transfer market over the coming months.

With the versatile and experienced James Milner in his ranks, the German tactician may be comfortable not directly replacing the defender, allowing Director of Football Michael Edwards to focus funds on reinforcements in central midfield and up-front instead.

And, in other news…Edwards could find LFC’s new Salah with swoop for 17-goal gem who has lit up the EUROs 

According to a report by Portuguese newspaper A Bola, via Sport Witness, West Ham United have commenced talks to know the fee needed to sign Boavista forward Alberth Elis this summer.

The Lowdown: West Ham eye attacking options…

It is well documented that manager David Moyes is eager to bring more attacking options to the London Stadium this summer.

As well as a permanent deal for 2020/2021 loan sensation Jesse Lingard, West Ham are said to be on the hunt for a new talismanic striker as they look to shore up a problem position (Claret & Hugh).

Michail Antonio played a starring role at points for the Irons last season but was often ruled out of action through injury.

The Latest: West Ham enter Elis talks…

Now, as per A Bola (via Sport Witness), West Ham have commenced talks to find out the fee needed to sign Boavista forward Elis.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-latest-news-2/” title=”West Ham latest news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

As well as the Hammers, Premier League rivals Southampton are said to have done the same – with Brighton and Watford also closely following him back in April.

It is claimed by this report that the 25-year-old is ‘likely to leave’ the Estádio do Bessa this summer in what could be a boost for West Ham in their pursuit.

Elis completed his first full season in Europe’s top five divisions over 2020/2021 and finished it with a notable eight goals and seven assists over the Liga NOS campaign (Sport Witness).

Boavista have told West Ham what they need to pay for his signature, around €10 million (£8.5m).

The Verdict: Not a priority…

Despite being only 25, Elis already has much experience on the international stage – earning 42 caps for his native Honduras (Transfermarkt).

He has also earned praise form ex-Celtic defender and compatriot Emilio Izaguirre, who told the Herald Times and Sport he is ‘very fast and strong’ (via Glasgow Times).

However, given his lack of experience at the top level, it could in fact be a gamble – with the likes of Tammy Abraham and Youssef En-Nesyri, who have been linked (ExWHUemployee), potentially better options.

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”

South Zone fought hard but a gallant 89 by Indian opening batsman Shiv Sundar Das proved to be the vital contribution as East Zone won their Duleep Trophy match at the Maharaja Bir Bikram College Stadium in Agartala on Saturday by four wickets. The victory, which came in the first over after lunch, took East Zone’s tally to 13 points from three matches. South Zone stayed on eight pointsfrom the same number of games.East Zone, who required only 96 runs with eight wickets in hand, were favoured to win when play resumed this morning. But South Zone came strongly into the picture with some quick blows. First, Venkatesh Prasad had Sanjay Raul leg before for 18 with the total on 76. In the next over Rohan Gavaskar was caught by Vijay Bhardwaj off Srinath for one. And in the very next over, SZ Zuffri was leg before to Prasad for one to leave East Zone in a shaky position at78 for five.Young wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta joined Das and the two put East Zone back on the rails with a sixth wicket partnership of 45 runs off 15.2 overs. Das who dominated the scoring was finally out for 79, caught by VVS Laxman off Sunil Joshi. The East Zone captain batted four hours, faced 183 balls and hit eleven fours in his invaluable knock.South Zone had a chance with Das’ dismissal for East Zone still required 44 runs for victory. But Dasgupta and Sukhbinder Singh made light of the task and steered their side to victory with an unbroken seventh wicket stand of 47 runs off 13.4 overs. For his timely unbeaten 32, Dagupta faced 65 balls and hit four of them to the ropes. Sukbhinder, who had bagged six wickets in the South Zone second innings was unbeaten with 22 off 49 balls with three boundaryhits.

If Everton don’t qualify for Europe next season, this summer could have a very different feel to it.

Their spending power will be influenced and it may also dictate Carlo Ancelotti’s future in Merseyside. The Italian has been keen to get the Toffees back to the continental stage but, with Real Madrid and Barcelona courting his services, there could be a changing of the guard.

On the chalkboard

One area where Ancelotti has strengthened significantly since he walked into Goodison Park is the midfield. They’ve gone from a lightweight pairing of Andre Gomes and Tom Davies to one full of physical qualities.

Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure have been two of Everton’s landmark additions with the 61-year-old at the helm but the Toffees have struggled when one of those has been injured.

Doucoure recently missed a period of seven matches with a fractured foot and Gomes hardly set the world alight in his absence. The Portuguese was feeble in defensive battles and won just two tackles before being dragged off against Arsenal.

In matches against Liverpool and Chelsea in February and March, Gomes won only three of the 26 duels that he contested. He then proceeded to lose seven of nine duels in the defeat to Aston Villa earlier this month.

With that in mind, Everton could do with another body in the middle of the park.

[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!”]

With Fulham relegated from the Premier League, they shouldn’t look too much further than Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa. The Mirror reported a few weeks ago that the Toffees were considering a move for the Cameroon international with a fee of £25m potentially being on the line.

In bringing him to Merseyside, he’d not only offer more physicality than Gomes, but he’d also offer immense ball carrying skills.

Speaking this season, Zambo Anguissa’s teammate Joachim Andersen said: “He’s a top player. He’s a machine in the midfield. He’s winning so many balls and driving forward with it.”

Indeed, only Adama Traore (150) and Allan Saint-Maximin (96) have completed more dribbles in the entire top flight this season than the Fulham powerhouse (95).

He’d offer more dynamism on the ball than Gomes, and his defensive stats are also considerably better. Gomes has won just 1.3 tackles and 0.4 interceptions per match this season. That’s compared to Anguissa’s 2.2 successful challenges and 1.6 interceptions an outing.

He also knows how to perform in the big games, an area where Everton’s Portuguese midfielder has been found wanting. During Fulham’s clash with Manchester United last Tuesday evening, the 25-year-old made nine ball recoveries and seven interceptions, while completing five take-ons and winning four aerial duels.

It was a mountainous performance from a player who would offer plenty to Everton if he swaps west London for Merseyside.

AND in other news, Toffees could be set for huge blow after Everton news emerges, fans should be gutted…

Aston Villa manager Dean Smith came very close to being sacked by the club at one point in his tenure.

Villa are currently safe and secure in a midtable Premier League position, but it has been reported that things weren’t always as rosy for Smith during his time at the helm.

Smith nearly got the sack in 2019

Football Insider have recently reported about Smith, saying that the club would’ve sacked the Englishman if they had lost to Derby County in a Championship game back in March 2019. The defeat would’ve left them further behind in the race for promotion and chief executive Christian Purslow was reportedly ready to let go of Smith just five months into his tenure.

As much as Smith’s job was on the line, Villa picked up a very impressive 4-0 win over Frank Lampard’s Derby. Conor Hourihane grabbed a brace, with Jack Grealish and loanee Tammy Abraham scoring a goal each (BBC Sport). From there, they never looked back.

Decision to not sack Smith paying off

In the 2018/19 Championship campaign, Villa finished fifth in the table but they won promotion via the play-offs, beating Derby in the final to return to the top flight.

While they avoided relegation only narrowly last season, some quality summer spending has left them on course to secure a midtable finish this term.

If Villa can invest well in the summer once again, they could end up going one better and potentially finish closer to the European places. Considering the job Smith has done since he was threatened with the sack two years ago, supporters can be glad that Purslow didn’t pull the trigger.

Marcelo Bielsa has provided an important injury update on Adam Forshaw, Raphinha and Rodrigo ahead of Leeds United’s clash with Liverpool.

The Whites are back in action on Monday night, looking to add another famous victory to their collection, following their 2-1 win at Manchester City last time around.

Leeds welcome reigning Premier League champions Liverpool to Elland Road, in what looks set to be an entertaining game on paper.

[freshpress-quiz id=“351040″]

Bielsa gives injury update on Leeds trio

Bielsa has a number of injury concerns going into the game, however, and on Thursday, he provided an update on the current situation.

In what was the most positive news of the day, the Leeds manager confirmed (via Phil Hay) that Forshaw will play for the Under-23s against Aston Villa on Friday, as he continues to recovery from a long-term hip problem.

Meanwhile, Raphinha is still considered a doubt for the Liverpool clash and Rodrigo looks set to miss out, with a muscular issue keeping the latter sidelined.

Transfer Tavern take

The Forshaw news is heartwarming, considering the 29-year-old hasn’t featured for Leeds since the early months of the 2019/20 season.

There is clearly no chance of him playing against Liverpool, but it would be a wonderful moment to see him play for the first team again before the campaign finishes.

Raphinha’s potential absence is a big blow for the Whites though, with his trickery and end product – six goals and assists apiece in the league this season – capable of causing a makeshift Reds defence problems.

His fellow Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior caused the Reds lots of problems for Real Madrid in the Champions League, and Raphinha boasts a similar ability to drive at players one on one and make things happen out of nothing. Losing that would definitely harm Bielsa’s chances of getting a result.

In other news, a huge name has left the door open regarding a move to Leeds this summer. Read more here.

Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny has hailed Illan Meslier, tipping him to play in the biggest games in club football in the future.

The 21-year-old is proving to be a hugely successful signing for the Whites, having joined permanently from Lorient last summer, initially shining on loan during 2019/20.

Meslier played his part in Marcelo Bielsa’s side being promoted to the Premier League last season and has started 30 of his team’s 31 top-flight matches this time around.

[freshpress-quiz id=“351040″]

Kenny heaps praise on Meslier

Someone who knows a thing or two about what makes a good ‘keeper is Kenny, who enjoyed a long and successful career, having spells with Leeds and Sheffield United, among numerous others.

Speaking to Football Insider, the ex-Whites man hailed Meslier’s quality, claiming he will end up playing in the latter stages of the Champions League one day:

“I remember watching him against Sheffield United and he made some of the best saves I’ve seen all season at 0-0. The potential is there.

“He’s one who could get to that level of playing Champions League semi-finals and finals in the future.

“To be playing Premier League standard at that age is impressive. I didn’t turn pro until I was 20 and they’re playing Premier League standard at that age. I didn’t even have a goalie coach until I was 25.

“I got to where I got through natural ability. I wouldn’t have been linked with PSG though. More likely GHD now my hair’s gone curly.”

Transfer Tavern take

For Meslier to already be such a key man in the Premier League at 21, especially for a ‘keeper, says so much about his long-term potential.

He has been a vital player ever since becoming first-choice between the sticks under Bielsa – he is second in the top flight in saves behind only Sam Johnstone – and he should only get better as he matures with age.

The hope is of course that Leeds continue to build so much as a team that Meslier is playing for them in the Champions League in the future, not a giant like PSG as Kenny suggests.
