A carreira de um jogador de futebol pode ser repleta de glórias e histórias para contar, porém também existem os obstáculos físicos. O zagueiro Dedé faz parte desse grupo de atletas que tenta retomar a carreira depois de uma série de cirurgias no joelho. Na última terça, o jogador deixou o Athletico-PR depois de apenas 45 minutos jogados.

CURTA PASSAGEM PELO FURACÃO E BUSCA POR NOVO CLUBE

O defensor falou por meio de uma nota, via assessoria, que a decisão foi tomada em comum acordo e que irá buscar um novo clube ainda nesta temporada – a janela fecha no dia 15 de agosto. Ele chegou a viajar com grupo para Belo Horizonte, mas não foi utilizado pelo técnico Felipão – só atuou contra o Tocantinópolis, pela Copa do Brasil.

– Não venho tendo muitas oportunidades e faz parte. Respeito, completamente, a decisão do treinador, mas, em comum acordo com o clube, vou buscar novos caminhos, aproveitando o período da janela de transferências. Preciso jogar e me sinto pronto para isso. Agradeço, demais, ao Athletico, que me abriu as portas e ao presidente Mario Celso Petraglia – disse o atleta.

FALHAS E POUCO TEMPO DE JOGO NA MACACA

Antes da curta passagem pelo Furacão, Dedé voltou aos gramados depois de dois anos (desde outubro de 2019) e defendeu as cores da Ponte Preta. No entanto, entrou em campo apenas contra Água Santa e Inter de Limeira, ambos no Moisés Lucarelli, e ficou marcado por falhas. Um pênalti e um recuo curto, que gerou o gol do triunfo do Netuno.

O fim de sua curta passagem pela Macaca ficou marcado por falhas e o rebaixamento no Campeonato Paulista. Ele voltou a sofrer com lesões e ficou de fora por problemas musculares na parte posterior da coxa esquerda.

OBSTÁCULOS FÍSICOS E FALTA DE REGULARIDADE

Movido pela fé, o zagueiro se apega à crença para retomar a carreira e lutar contra a dor e todos os problemas físicos. Aos 34 anos, Dedé se diz pronto para um novo desafio e sabe que precisa reconquistar a confiança para ter mais regularidade e ritmo de jogo. Com as camisas de Ponte e Athletico, as oportunidades foram escassas.

Diante das dores e dos obstáculos físicos, o jogador tem pela frente desafios que vão além das quatro linhas. Ficar tanto tempo longe do gramado afeta diretamente o mental – e traz à tona a possibilidade de pendurar as chuteiras mais cedo do que gostaria.

Em 2018, as boas atuações no Cruzeiro o levaram a pré-lista de 12 atletas para a Copa do Mundo, na Rússia. Caso algum dos zagueiros presentes na Seleção fossem cortados, ele disputaria com Rodrigo Caio uma vaga com a camisa amarelinha.

Anos se passaram e tudo mudou na vida e carreira do jogador. O sonho de disputar uma Copa deu lugar à busca por uma nova chance. Um reinício é duro e demandará tempo e espaço para praticamente provar que ainda pode jogar de forma competitiva.

TÍTULOS NA RAPOSA, MAS INÍCIO DO CALVÁRIO

Revelado pelo Volta Redonda, Dedé despontou no futebol brasileiro com grande destaque no Vasco. Chamado de ‘mito’ por torcedores cruz-maltinos, o zagueiro estava no elenco campeão da Copa do Brasil em 2011. Na sequência da carreira, acertou com o Cruzeiro e por lá enfileirou títulos, mas começou a enfrentar seu calvário.

Enquanto esteve na Raposa, foram quatro cirurgias no joelho e 1.729 dias longe dos gramados. No auge, além de ter figurado na pré-lista para a Copa do Mundo 2018, o jogador teve propostas de Juventus (ITA) e Lyon (FRA), mas ficou no time mineiro.

Com a camisa do time celeste, Dedé atuou em 188 partidas, marcou 15 gols e conquistou sete títulos. Bicampeão Brasileiro (2013 e 2014), Bicampeão da Copa do Brasil (2017 e 2018) e três Mineiros. Por fim, o defensor fez parte da campanha do rebaixamento da equipe mineira em 2019.

A saída, porém, ficou marcada com uma batalha de liminares quando acionou o Cruzeiro na Justiça e pediu mais de R$ 35 milhões para rescindir seu contrato. Seis meses depois, ambas as partes entraram em acordo, e a Raposa acertou o pagamento de R$ 16,6 milhões, em 60 parcelas, a partir de janeiro de 2022.

Liverpool have their sights set on the Premier League title, with less than two months remaining until the end of the season.

Arne Slot’s maiden year has been an incredible thing. Who foresaw this degree of success? Well, perhaps Jurgen Klopp, who always seemed convinced in his decision to leave at the end of the 2023/24 season, always knew he’d stretched his tenure as far as possible.

Klopp didn’t leave without first resculpting Anfield’s rusty midfield, driving the Reds toward one last slice of silverware with the German at the helm.

But changes needed to be made. That flagging midfield of 2022/23 was headed by Jordan Henderson, who, now 35, needed to leave.

However, he’s curiously back in the England set-up this month.

How Jordan Henderson's Liverpool career ended

When Liverpool dragged themselves over the line in May 2023, the Community Shield in the curtain-raiser was the only gleam of silver clinched by Klopp’s stuttering side. They finished fifth in the Premier League, ending a lengthy and illustrious affinity with the Champions League.

A summer clearout was on the cards, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner all departing at the end of their contracts, Roberto Firmino too.

Klopp was gearing up to strengthen the midfield, and Henderson has no assurances that he would be a starting member for the 2023/24 season.

However, Saudi Pro League moves for both Fabinho and the long-serving skipper were unexpected, and while Liverpool banked £52m and, in hindsight, prospered, it plunged a productive summer into uncertainty.

There comes a point when it’s time to move on, legs no longer working as they once did. The circumstances around Henderson’s sale may have been contentious, but the plain decision to depart was justifiable.

Now, Liverpool may need to cash in on their next version of the experienced England international.

Liverpool's new version of Henderson

It’s a sad thing when a player is no longer operating at their former level of brilliance, and that’s sadly the case for Andy Robertson, who at 31 has been all but exhausted after eight years of tireless service.

Robertson is still Liverpool’s starting left-back and on course to win his second Premier League title, but there’s no question he’s ebbing away, lacking the athleticism and zest he once wore so well. Broadcaster Nubaid Haroon has noted the Scottish star has been “struggling” for both club and country.

He certainly wasn’t at the races for his nation on Sunday, thrashed 3-0 by Greece in the Nations League after winning the first leg away from home 1-0. Withdrawn after 75 minutes, Robertson lost the ball 15 times and lacked the authority and energy needed to prevail.

Seemingly resigned to the fact he’s in decline, Robertson runs the risk of turning into Liverpool’s next version of Henderson, being a decorated stalwart who maintains impressive leadership skills yet lacks his one-time presence on the playing field.

Thomas Tuchel called Henderson up to his first Three Lions camp and featured him off the bench as a routine victory over Albania was achieved on Thursday evening. His experience and tactical nous were internally cited as reasons behind the decision as Tuchel establishes a new era, lays the foundations.

Likewise, Robertson is still a mainstay for Scotland. Indeed, he wears the armband in dark blue. But Robertson is also showing clear signs of wear and tear after so many unrelenting years in Liverpool’s system.

Just look at the differences between the current campaign and 2019/20, when Liverpool won the Premier League.

Less accurate and active in defensive situations and with a startling absence of attacking success, the 31-year-old is understandably one of sporting director Richard Hughes’ priority points heading into the transfer market.

There’s plenty of early noise around Liverpool’s interest in a new left-back, delineating Slot’s desire to enter the new season with Robertson relieved of his first-choice status.

The desire to sign Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is reminiscent of the Reds’ former pursuit of a new midfield cohort. It was clear that Alexis Mac Allister, for example, was on the club’s radar ahead of the transfer window.

While Liverpool hadn’t been expecting to cash in on Henderson at first, Slot will perhaps use that window as a reminder that sometimes it’s worth taking the leap of faith.

Robertson is Liverpool’s fourth-highest earner on £160k per week, and though he’s set to add a trophy to the haul this summer, the Tartan skipper isn’t really justifying such lofty earnings any longer.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Perhaps he’ll stay on until his contract expires at the end of next term (which would surely spell the end for current deputy Kostas Tsimikas).

It’s important to remember that Liverpool signed Robertson from Hull City for just £8m – remarkably astute business – in 2017. He’s gone on to win the gamut, one of the standout full-backs of his generation.

In any case, Slot needs to axe Liverpool’s new version of Henderson, who is one of the most rousing captains of his generation but needed to leave when he did. Who can say FSG made the wrong call?

كشف سامي الشيشيني، مدير الكرة بفريق البنك الأهلي، حقيقة وجود رغبة من لاعب الفريق في الانضمام إلى صفوف النادي الأهلي خلال الفترة القادمة.

وقال الشيشيني خلال تصريحات إذاعية عبر “أون سبورت”: “أسامة فيصل لاعب البنك الأهلي، لم يلغني برغبته في الانضمام إلى النادي الأهلي، توجد إدارة للنادي خاصة بملف التعاقدات للاعبين”.

وأضاف: “عندما تأخذ رأي المدير الفني، فرأيه يكون لن أقف أمام رغبة اللاعب ولكن لا بد من إيجاد اللاعب البديل، طارق مصطفى المدير الفني قال أنا مع أسامة فيصل فيما يريده”.

وأكمل: “أسامة فيصل ممكن ينضم للأهلي ولا يندمج مثل لاعيبة كثيرة انضمت للقلعة الحمراء ولم تندمج، أعطى 30% للاندماج، ولكن كخامة أسامة مهاجم ثقيل، وممكن يكون أفضل من وسام لأنه قادر على المشاركة في مركز الجناح وهذا غير متواجد في وسام”.

Charlie Dean became Southern Vipers’ all-time leading wicket-taker as Vipers began Champions Day at the Ageas Bowl with a crushing victory over Western Storm.England offspinner Dean overtook Tara Norris as her 2 for 15 catapulted her to 52 wickets for the side across the Kia Super League, Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, and Charlotte Edwards Cup.Lauren Bell’s two wickets in the first over meant sure Storm never truly got going, as they only set holders Vipers 106. Maia Bouchier ensured it wasn’t a stressful chase with a measured 45 to bring home the seven-wicket bonus point victory with 35 balls to spare.Storm chose to bat first on a dry wicket under clear blue skies but were 4 for 3 before the end of the second over.Nat Wraith chipped Bell to cover third ball before Dani Gibson edged behind a hooping in-swinging delivery. Anya Shrubsole then had her former England captain Heather Knight stumped off a wide to continue the procession of wickets.Vipers had walked out past the Charlotte Edwards Cup trophy, with Hampshire’s Vitality Blast trophy also on show, as the two sides celebrated their 2022 triumphs.Fran Wilson attempted to settle things down and carved Bell for boundaries through point either side of being dropped at first slip. She was soon stumped off Dean before Orla Prendergast failed to take her life – having been put down by Bouchier – as she stepped across her stumps and was lbw. Alex Griffith didn’t fare much better as she picked out long-on.Around all the wickets, captain Sophie Luff was using her textbook running to good effect, while almost single-handily taking Storm to some sort of respectability with five fours. She fell for 44 when slapping a returning Bell to point – the fast bowler returning 3 for 19. Niamh Holland was the last to depart when she was castled by Linsey Smith as Storm limped to 105 for 8.Danni Wyatt got the reply off to a flyer with a trio of powerfully struck boundaries off the first over before Bouchier took over with some brutal striking down the ground.Wyatt was yorked by Prendergast and Nicole Faltum was bowled through the gate by Lauren Filer. But Bouchier’s effortless run making made sure there was no wobble as she put on 47 with Georgia Adams to take them within 11 runs.Having struck eight fours, Bouchier attempted to reach a half-century with a six over midwicket but was caught on the boundary edge. But Georgia Elwiss clubbed the winning runs after her swing to the leg side was dropped on the ropes and pushed for four to make sure Vipers remain unbeaten since the 2021 Eliminator in the Charlotte Edwards Cup.

على الرغم من تسليط الضوء على لاعبين مثل لامين يامال ورافينيا بفضل أدائهما المميز مع برشلونة فقد كان لاعب آخر في البارسا بطلًا لا ينسى.

وقد تجاوز بيدري لاعب وسط برشلونة الشاب ببراعة معاناته مع الإصابات وأصبح لاعبًا أساسيًا تحت قيادة هانز فليك.

وتحكم بيدري في خط وسط برشلونة بشكل رائع طوال الموسم وسمح للاعبين مثل فرانك دي يونج وغيره من المبدعين بالتألق في الثلث الهجومي الأخير.

وقد تلقى بيدري إشادة من فوتشيك تشيزني حارس مرمى برشلونة في تصريحات صحفية: “ما قدمه الموسم الماضي لم أر مثله من أي لاعب، كراته مباشرة ورؤيته وسيطرة على المباراة دفاعيًا وهجوميًا، أمر مذهل”.

وقد كان بيدري لاعبًا حيويًا لبرشلونة طوال الموسم حيث شارك لمدة 4646 دقيقة في جميع المسابقات.

وكان رافينيا النجم البرازيلي الدولي هو اللاعب الوحيد الذي لعب أكثر مع برشلونة الموسم الماضي حيث شارك لمدة 15 دقيقة أكثر من النجم الدولي الإسباني.

ولكن تألق بيدري أكثر من نال إعجاب تشيزني بسبب جودته في الملعب، وتابع: “هو اللاعب الذي أبهرني أكثر من غيره ومن أي لاعب آخر في حياتي، لا أعرف سر عبقريته لكنه لا يفقد الكرة”.

ومن المتوقع أن يلعب بيدري دورًا رئيسيًا لا يقل أهمية عن دوره الموسم المقبل، حيث يتطلع برشلونة لتحقيق لقب دوري أبطال أوروبا والاحتفاظ بلقب الدوري.

أثار جيمي فاردي مهاجم ليستر سيتي السابق، الكثير من الجدل حول مستقبله بعد رحيله عن صفوف ناديه ليستر سيتي بنهاية الموسم الماضي.

ورحل جيمي فاردي صاحب الـ38 عاماً عن ليستر سيتي بعد انتهاء عقده الموسم الماضي، وبعد مسيرة رائعة حقق فيها الدوري الإنجليزي الإعجازي في عام 2015.

ونفى جيمي فاردي بشكل قاطع، في شهر مايو الماضي، رغبته في الاعتزال حيث أكد أنه لا يزال قادراً على اللعب لفترة مقبلة، مشيراً إلى إنه سيتوقف عندما تجبره قدميه على ذلك.

وأشارت تقارير صحفية في وقت سابق إلى أن جيمي فاردي أصبح مقتنعًا برغبتته في خوض تجربة جديدة أخيرة في مسيرته وارتبط بالانضمام لصفوف جنوى.

وبحسب “فلوريان بليتنبيرج”صحفي سكاي ألمانيا فإن جنوى لا يسعى لضم جيمي فاردي المهاجم المخضرم رغم بعض المحادثات حول إمكانية التقدم بعرض.

ونفى بليتنبيرج إمكانية حدوث هذه الخطوة وتعود صعوبة هذه الصفقة في رفض باتريك فييرا المدرب الفرنسي لجنوى، هذه الخطوة.

ولا يزال جنوى يفاضل بين عدة خيارات هجومية لتعزيز صفوفه الموسم المقبل.

ويرى باتريك فييرا المدير الفني السابق لكريستال بالاس، أن جيمي فاردي لا يناسب مشروعه في جنوى، ولا يراه مهاجما أساسيا أو حتى احتياطي.

وقد انتشرت تقارير صحفية أيضاً أنه بالفعل قد كانت هناك مفاوضات لانضمام جيمي فاردي إلى جنوى وكان بعض الرعاة مستعدين للتكفل براتب اللاعب ولكن رأي فييرا حسم مصير الصفقة.

Central will face defending champions West Zone in the semi-final; North will be up against South

Saurabh Kumar registered figures of 8 for 64•Gallo Images/Getty Images

Saurabh Kumar’s career-best figures of 8 for 64 helped Central Zone romp to a 170-run win over East Zone in Alur to secure a place in the semi-final of the Duleep Trophy. The left-arm spinner finished with 11 wickets in the match, having taken 3 for 46 in the first innings.Central will next face West Zone, the defending champions who had direct entry into the semi-final. That game, starting on July 5, will also be played in Alur.East had started the final day at 69 for 6, and it took Central only 12 overs on the final morning to get the remaining four wickets, all going to Saurabh.Saurabh first trapped Riyan Parag lbw in the 34th over, before cleaning up Shahbaz Nadeem in the 38th. Four overs later, he removed Akash Deep and Ishan Porel off successive deliveries to seal the win. East’s top scorer in the second innings was No. 10 Akash Deep, who entertained with a 14-ball 24, which included three sixes off Saurabh.Saurabh’s eight wickets meant East folded for 129, their second batting failure in the game after they had managed only 122 in the first attempt. The other two wickets in East’s second innings went to Shivam Mavi and Avesh Khan on the third evening.North Zone completed a massive win over North East•PTI

Narang, Sindhu complete the formalitiesNorth Zone decimated North East Zone by 511 runs on the fourth morning in Bengaluru to complete the formalities towards their march to the semi-final. North will now be facing South Zone from July 5 onwards at the same venue to try to make the final.Having started the day on 58 for 3, North East lost 7 for 53 in a middle-order collapse fashioned by Pulkit Narang. He got four of those wickets with his offspin.The only bright spot for North East was the 57-run fourth-wicket partnership between Palzor Tamang and Nilesh Lamichaney. It was allrounder Nishant Sindhu who broke the stand with Lamichaney’s wicket, which began North East’s slide from 101 for 3. Tamang, who top-scored with 40, was next to fall, as Narang got his first wicket in the second outing.While Narang finished the game with seven wickets and 46 runs, it was also a memorable game for North’s young players, such as Sindhu, who had hit 150 before picking up two wickets on Saturday, and Harshit Rana, who scored an unbeaten 122 and also took two wickets in the match.
