Tendo chegou ao Coritiba no final do mês de janeiro deste ano, o meio-campista Andrey não demorou para mostrar a importância de sair do Vasco para respirar novos ares. Com atuações consistentes e “dominando” o meio-campo, o camisa 7 se destacou já nas primeiras partidas e necessitou apenas cinco jogos para balançar as redes.

O jogador foi um dos pilares do time na conquista no Campeonato Paranaense e na boa campanha no início do Brasileirão, quando marcou mais três vezes, até sofrer uma lesão no ligamento cruzado do joelho, em maio, e precisar passar por cirurgia.
Com o diagnóstico de lesão grave, Andrey realizou o procedimento cirúrgico em 11 de junho e recebeu o prazo de dez meses para o retorno aos gramados. Agora, cerca de um mês após a realização da cirurgia, o camisa 7 virou torcedor e sempre que pode está presente no Couto Pereira para acompanhar e torcer pela equipe.
Cria da base do Vasco, o volante já admitiu ter criado grande identificação com o clube paranaense e torce para que a equipe conquiste uma vaga para competições internacionais.
– Sigo muito focado na minha recuperação, estou me sentindo bem e feliz por conseguir ir aos jogos apoiar meus companheiros. Sei o quanto isso é importante neste momento e quero que nossa equipe saiba que pode contar comigo, mesmo estando do lado de fora como um torcedor. Venho sentindo o carinho da torcida no estádio e nas redes sociais e agradeço as mensagens de todos nesse período difícil para mim, por não estar fazendo o que tanto amo, que é jogar futebol – disse Andrey.
A próxima oportunidade que Andrey poderá voltar a exercer seu lado torcedor (porém à distância) será no próximo sábado (16) quando o Coritiba vai até o Rio de Janeiro enfrentar o Flamengo, no Couto Pereira, pela 17ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.
Perhaps with replacing Mohamed Salah in mind, Liverpool have now reportedly set their sights on signing the Egyptian’s greatest rival to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or this summer.
Liverpool eye new forwards as Diaz, Jota and Nunez disappoint
Arne Slot’s debut campaign has gone so well at Anfield that the natural expectancy was that they would, one way or another, find a way past Paris Saint-Germain. For the first time in the Dutchman’s Liverpool career, however, his side’s weaknesses were laid bare up against a PSG side who are simply more complete under Luis Enrique these days.
Not just Nunez: Liverpool star who lost the ball every 3 mins let Slot down
Liverpool exit the Champions League in the last 16 after losing to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties.

It was fairly fitting that arguably Europe’s best two sides needed penalties to decide what was a two-legged tie filled to the brim with world class quality and in many ways it summed up Darwin Nunez’s Liverpool career that he was the one who blinked first.
Between Diogo Jota’s frantic yet ineffective performance, Luis Diaz’s mixed display and Nunez’s own frustrating cameo, it became clearer than ever that the Reds need an attacking boost this summer, especially if Salah departs as a free agent.
If that is to be the case – and a disastrous one at that – then those at Anfield must pursue the signature of the Egyptian’s Ballon d’Or rival this summer, having already reportedly set their sights on his potential arrival.
According to Caught Offside, Liverpool are now eyeing a summer swoop to sign Raphinha from Barcelona in a move that would instantly ease their Salah blow and revive their frontline.

Unlike this time last year, however, Barcelona are unlikely to part ways with Brazilian at the first chance they get. In fact, they’re likely to deny any offer at all for the winger’s signature, given how he has exploded into life to become one of Europe’s most lethal players in the current campaign – scoring 27 goals in all competitions.
"Special" Raphinha one of few who could replace Salah
When Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes go searching for a player capable of guaranteeing 20-plus goals a season whilst also taking up the role of main creator, they will struggle to find an extensive list of players able to come close to the levels that Salah has consistently shown. However, if they turn that search towards Spain they may just find one of a select few stars beginning to show similar traits.

Although the numbers show just how unbelievable Salah’s season has been, Raphinha has been no slouch either and remains the Liverpool star’s greatest Ballon d’Or rival – especially after advancing in the Champions League.
At 28 years old, the former Leeds United winger is finally at the absolute peak of his powers and earning deserved praise from Hansi Flick as a result. The Barcelona boss told reporters earlier this season: “He has good dynamics with the ball and he has had an extraordinary match.
“His offensive and defensive dynamics, and his good technique, are something special. I have never had a player like him and he helps us a lot.”
Says Asian Cricket Council board needs to ratify all decisions

The impasse between BCCI and PCB is set to deepen further with the Pakistan board issuing a second public statement in as many days, insisting Indian board secretary Jay Shah “unilaterally” announced the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) calendar of events for 2023 and 2024 without informing the PCB.On Friday morning, the ACC had put out a media release rejecting PCB chairman Najam Sethi’s claim on Thursday that Shah, who is also the ACC president, had announced the ACC calendar for the next two years without keeping the PCB in the loop.By evening the PCB put out its own statement, via a Twitter post, stating the ACC Board, of which it was a part, needed to ratify the decisions taken by the Development and Marketing committees.
On Thursday, Shah in his capacity as ACC president announced details of all ACC competitions over the next two years. “Presenting the @ACCMedia1 pathway structure & cricket calendars for 2023 & 2024!” he tweeted. “This signals our unparalleled efforts & passion to take this game to new heights. With cricketers across countries gearing up for spectacular performances, it promises to be a good time for cricket.”Sethi quote-tweeted Shah later on Thursday, with some sarcasm: “Thank you Jay Shah for unilaterally presenting ACC structure & calendars 2023-24 especially relating to Asia Cup 2023 for which Pakistan is the event host. While you are at it, you might as well present structure & calendar of our PSL 2023! A swift response will be appreciated.”
A day later, the ACC put out a statement saying the PCB had been informed about these details via email on December 22, 2022, but no response had been received.”It has come to our knowledge that PCB Chairman Mr. Najam Sethi has made a comment on the ACC President unilaterally taking the decision on finalising the calendar and announcing the same,” the ACC statement said. “The ACC wants to clarify that it has followed established due process. The calendar was approved by its Development Committee and Finance & Marketing Committee in a meeting held on December 13th, 2022.”The calendar was then communicated to all the participating members individually, including Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), via an email dated December 22nd, 2022. While responses were received from certain Member Boards, no comments or suggested modifications were received from PCB. In view of the above, Mr. Sethi’s comments on a social media platform are baseless and are vehemently denied by the ACC.”The ACC’s Development Committee and Finance & Marketing Committee – the bodies that approved the ACC pathway structure and calendar – do not contain any representation from Pakistan. And the day the mail was sent to the PCB – December 22 – was a day of considerable tumult in Pakistan cricket: Sethi replaced Ramiz Raja as head of the board that very day.’They could’ve made one call to us’ – SethiSpeaking to , Sethi insisted the PCB had not received that communication, or that he had not been made aware of it. “I am not angry, I am confused,” he said. “They could’ve made one call to us, consulted with us. Doing these things unilaterally is not good when there is a council for it. As far as I am aware they didn’t consult anybody. Does this mean when I become president next, I will also make these decisions from my home?”Sethi revealed in fact that the PCB’s CEO (although that position does not exist in the current administration) Faisal Hasnain had reached out to the BCCI several times to set up a meeting but had received no response. He also made a plea for politics to be kept out of cricket ties between the two countries.Related

India won't travel to Pakistan for 2023 Asia Cup
Tensions had been simmering between the two boards during Ramiz’s tenure as PCB chairman and specifically over the venue of the 2023 Asia Cup, which is scheduled for September. Pakistan are the slated hosts of the event but that was thrown into uncertainty when Shah, soon after a BCCI meeting last October which he presided over, said the 2023 Asia Cup would move to a neutral venue because India could not travel to Pakistan. Since then, there has been no clarity over where the Asia Cup would be played this year.”On one hand you say you want Pakistan to come to India for the World Cup but also say we don’t want to play in Pakistan for the Asia Cup. When the Champions Trophy happens in Pakistan (in February 2025) will they not play that as well? We should keep politics away from this. BCCI is an independent board. Our board is not even independent, we are a government institution, so we have to get advice from them all the time.”We will of course say this tournament should be in Pakistan. All countries have come to Pakistan. There are no issues now. There are no security issues now. [As for neutral venue] we will cross that bridge when we come to it. We will consult the government.This is merely the latest example of the deterioration of ties between the two boards, as a result of poor political ties between the two countries. India and Pakistan have not played each other in a bilateral series since 2012-13, when Pakistan toured India for a limited-overs series. Their encounters have been limited to ICC and ACC events, and while the India men’s team have not played any match in Pakistan since 2008, Pakistan last travelled to India for the 2016 T20 World Cup.
Chelsea are now involved in a four-way transfer race to sign a “outstanding” Premier League striker, with Enzo Maresca keen to bring in a forward capable of challenging for Nicolas Jackson’s starting spot, according to a report.
Blues stepping up striker pursuit
The Blues have been left short on options at striker over the past few weeks, with Jackson and Marc Guiu both sidelined due to injuries, which has meant Pedro Neto has been given the nod in the unfamiliar role of centre-forward.
As such, Maresca has now started to step up his pursuit of a new striker ahead of the summer transfer window, and there is believed to be strong interest in Lille striker Jonathan David, who will be available on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.
Strasbourg’s Emanuel Emegha is one of the lesser-known targets, and the west Londoners’ relationship with the French club could give them the edge in negotiations for the striker, who is also wanted by Everton, West Ham United and Aston Villa.
Chelsea set to sign £25m Premier League forward Maresca called "fantastic"

Newcastle Unitred’s Alexander Isak, on the other hand, is one of the most sought-after strikers in world football, and Chelsea are expected to enter talks to sign the Sweden international, who could command a fee of £120m.
However, Isak is not the only Premier League striker on the shortlist, with a report from The Boot Room revealing the Blues are now keen on signing Brighton & Hove Albion’s Joao Pedro.
Brighton & Hove Albion'sJoaoPedroin action with Manchester City's Ruben Dias and Abdukodir Khusanov
Pedro could be brought in to challenge for Jackson’s starting spot, but he will not come cheap, with reports from elsewhere stating Brighton value the Brazilian at £100m.
There may also be fierce competition from within the Premier League, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United said to be keen on a deal.
"Outstanding" Pedro starring for Brighton
The 23-year-old is Brighton’s top scorer this season, netting eight goals in 23 appearances in the Premier League, during which time he has also displayed his ability to set up his teammates, providing six assists.
Creating chances is one of the Brazil international’s finest qualities, and he ranks very highly on a number of other key attacking metrics over the past year compared to his positional peers.

Having also been lauded as “outstanding” by analyst Chris Kearney, the Brighton star is clearly a top forward, but the only concern will be the fact he is not exactly the most prolific in front of goal.
Pedro places in just the 19th percentile for non-penalty goals per 90, given that he clearly thrives in other aspects of the game, so it may be unwise for Chelsea to shell out £100m on a striker who does not guarantee goals.
Robinson bags Labuschagne as Neser serves reminder of qualities too
Alan Gardner18-May-2023
Ollie Robinson trapped Marnus Labuschagne lbw at Hove•Getty Images
Sussex 221 for 4 (Smith 68*, Haines 58, Coles 50*) lead Glamorgan 123 (Robinson 4-29) by 98 runsHow many pre-Ashes blows is it possible to land in one County Championship match? That is not merely a rhetorical question, given the number of international head-to-heads as Sussex took on Glamorgan at Hove. Ollie Robinson unequivocally landed the first of them, trapping Marnus Labuschagne lbw third ball as part a four-wicket haul, and the day ended with Steven Smith (for now Robinson’s team-mate) recording the first half-century of his three-game stint with Sussex.Does that somehow make it England 1-1 Australia? If only it were that simple… Michael Neser, the in-form allrounder who is pushing for a place in Australia’s Ashes party, also fell cheaply to Robinson, but then claimed two wickets and a catch to prevent Sussex from completely running away with the contest. One of his victims was Cheteshwar Pujara, who made the first duck of his Sussex career. Pujara is Smith’s captain here but will line up against Australia for India in next month’s World Test Championship final. Are you still following?Neser also bent his back trying to dislodge Smith for the Glamorgan cause. His first ball was left, his second blocked and third thrashed dismissively through cover for the first of Smith’s nine boundaries. As the day drew to a close, Labuschagne’s work-in-progress offbreaks were called upon in final attempt to ruffle Smith. Virtually everywhere you looked there was a potential Test match stramash.Accordingly, the air of excitement was palpable as 1500 fans took their places for the start of this match at the 1st Central County Ground – and not just because these two teams lie second and fourth in Division Two as we approach the midpoint of the season (yes, it’s true). The weather appears to have turned, The Sussex Cricketer has reopened – or at least been reincarnated beneath the development of flats on Eaton Road – and there are few finer places in the world to be than Hove on a sunny day.Temporary stands were in place, though not necessarily because of the weight of demand for tickets to see Smith bat in his only home appearance for Sussex. The T20 Blast starts in just over a week, by which time Sussex will hope to have made good on their first-day dominance over Glamorgan and risen to the top of the table – albeit having played a game more than fellow promotion-chasers Durham.Steven Smith works the ball to leg during his innings for Sussex•Getty Images
A poll on Sussex’s YouTube page suggested that most of those watching remotely, at least, were there for Smith, and they would have ended the day satisfied as the Australian produced an innings full of trademark leaves, trademark fidgets and trademark run-gathering. It was probably as fluent as Smith gets, full of the usual ticks and foibles, but probably not evidence in isolation that Sussex have significantly damaged England’s chances of regaining the urn.For encouragement on that front, English fans will look to Robinson’s 4 for 29, which followed a career-best 14-wicket haul at Worcester a couple of weeks ago. Robinson has confidently talked up England’s Ashes chances this summer – “I really feel like we could get one over on them, and give them a good hiding,” he said in March – and he delivered on the mind games in this advance skirmish. Labuschagne saw off two deliveries from Ari Karvelas, the first via a Smith-esque lightsabre leave, before facing up to Robinson, who rapped him peremptorily on the pads to send Australia’s Test No. 3 back to the Glamorgan dressing-room.Labuschagne lingered momentarily, perhaps replaying the delivery in his head, but it looked a straightforward call for umpire Rob White – the ball nibbling back and maybe staying a little low, going down the slope from the Cromwell Road End, as Robinson tore off in a manner that England fans will hope is to be replicated at Edgbaston in just over four weeks’ time.Trailing slightly towards the back of the celebratory huddle was Smith, who admitted on arrival that Robinson had knocked him over third ball in the nets and was perhaps just starting to cast his mind forward to the first Test – or at least to meeting up with Labuschagne for Australia’s training camp ahead of the WTC final at The Oval.The wicket of Labuschagne was Robinson’s sole success from his opening spell, but it struck at the heart of the Glamorgan batting. Karvelas had produced the first breakthrough, finding some extra bounce to clip the shoulder of Ed Byrom’s bat – Oli Carter holding on this time having dropped Byrom in Karvelas’ opening over – and Fynn Hudson-Prentice claimed a wicket with his third ball as Sam Northeast jabbed a thick outside edge to third slip.Robinson returned with Glamorgan five down and took only three balls to make it six, Kiran Carlson misjudging another nip-backer that travelled unimpeded into middle and off stumps. Neser fell in Robinson’s next over, pinned on front trying to work across the line, and the England man had a fourth shortly after when Timm van der Gugten was squared up and edged into the cordon.That dismissal meant Glamorgan, having been inserted on what looked a decent day for batting, had stumbled to 79 for 8 inside the morning session, Tom Haines chipping out the other two with his mediums. Zain-ul-Hassan, on first-class debut having been recruited by Glamorgan via the South Asian Cricket Academy, played tidily for 22 only to nick off playing forward – Carter grabbing the chance at second attempt – and Billy Root then left one that shaded back enough to clip off and dislodge the bails.Karvelas wrapped up the innings after lunch, Smith taking both catches, and Sussex then began their reply in a hurry as the opening pair put on 76 at more than a run a ball. Neser was twice cracked dismissively back down the ground by Ali Orr (more Ashes points-scoring?), who reached his highest score of the season before becoming the third batter on the day to be bowling leaving. Neser then pinned Tom Alsop and Pujara in front in successive overs, but Haines moved steadily to fifty in the company of Smith, a feat matched later by James Coles in the final over of the day.

Pelo lado do jogador, contudo, o discurso não foi o mesmo: o volante não aceitou a parte financeira e a coisa travou.
Dessa vez, todos parecem falar a mesma língua na negociação. O Botafogo não ofereceu mais dinheiro e a proposta é a mesma de outrora, mas tenta convencer o jogador pelo projeto a médio/longo prazo e projeção.

Ashes-bound spinner takes 3 for 16 as Bears edge past Northants in low-scorer

Moeen Ali celebrates a wicket with team-mates•Getty Images
Birmingham Bears returned to winning ways in the Vitality Blast with a 30-run victory over Northamptonshire Steelbacks in a low-scoring contest on a turning track at Edgbaston.Spinners dominated as the Bears, having chosen to bat, were bowled out for 137 in 18.5 overs after left-arm wristspinner Freddie Heldreich continued his excellent Blast campaign with a career-best 4 for 27. Heldreich took a wicket in each of his four overs as only Sam Hain (35 from 31 balls) and Alex Davies (32 from 18) passed 15 for the home side.The Steelbacks reply was then even more emphatically smothered – 107 for 9 from 20 overs – by the four-pronged home spin attack. Dan Mousley took 3 for 14 and Moeen Ali 3 for 16 to help his side to their first win in four attempts under his leadership before he now leaves to join England’s squad ahead of next week’s Ashes opener.Davies supplied the Bears with a punchy and, it was to prove, priceless start despite quickly losing two partners. Rob Yates lifted Tom Taylor to deep square leg and Moeen’s unproductive batting return to the Bears was completed when he skied David Willey to mid-off. The England player departs for Test duty on the back of 48 runs in four Blast knocks.Davies perished in pursuit of his third six when Saif Zaib took a well-judged catch on the rope in front of the Hollies Stand off Heldreich. That was the spinner’s fourth ball – he struck another big blow with his tenth which Glenn Maxwell, having hit the previous ball into the Hollies, chipped tamely to extra cover.Heldreich’s 17th delivery inflicted further damage when Mousley missed an attempted pull and fell lbw and when his 19th ousted Chris Benjamin, to another well-judged catch by Zaib at deep mid-wicket, the Bears were 93 for 6. As so often, the burden of responsibility fell on Hain and when he was bowled, making room to cut Zaib, a moderate total was assured.The Steelbacks found the going even tougher against the twirlers, notably Mousley who took two crucial wickets for eight in his first two overs. The 21-year-old bowled Chris Lynn and Josh Cobb either side of taking a fine catch in the deep to remove the dangerous Emilio Gay off Maxwell.Moeen then struck twice as Willey edged behind and Lewis McManus heaved to deep midwicket where the effervescent and ubiquitous Mousley took the catch. After ten overs, the Steelbacks had stuttered to 50 for 5 with 88 needed from the last ten.Scoring at that rate in such conditions was out of the question. Zaib and Taylor nurdled 29 from 30 balls but Mousley returned to the attack to have Taylor caught at extra cover and Danny Briggs hit James Sales’ middle stump to collect his 249th T20 wicket.A quest for 63 from the last five overs was hopeless. Zaib (25 from 29 balls) was bowled behind his legs sweeping at Moeen and the Steelbacks subsided swiftly under the shimmering mosaic of pinks, oranges and ochres in the dazzling iridescence of a Birmingham sunset.
