'Clube-modelo', Cruzeiro inicia temporada com sócios em alta

MatériaMais Notícias

O programa de sócio-torcedor é uma das principais fontes de receita das agremiações atualmente. Nesse sentido, o Cruzeiro é um dos clubes brasileiros que obtém mais êxito em atrair e fidelizar os associados. E neste início de temporada, a agremiação mineira pode comemorar os bons números registrados.

De acordo com o Movimento por um Futebol Melhor, a Raposa já angariou 640 afiliados em 2016. Ao todo, o clube possui 73.750 sócios-torcedores e aparece na sexta colocação do Torcedômetro, ranking geral de adeptos. No ano, o time está no Top 10 do ranking de novos membros obtidos.

Desde a criação do Movimento, o Cruzeiro figura entre as agremiações com mais sócios-torcedores obtidos por ano. Contudo, na última temporada, o time Celeste oscilou no campo dos associados.

Para atrair e fidelizar os seus adeptos, a Raposa faz diversas ações, promoções e possui planos específicos para atender todos os públicos de interesse. Além disso, oferece centenas de descontos em produtos e serviços do Movimento por um Futebol Melhor.

As empresas Ambev (Brahma), Unilever, Pepsico, TIM, SKY, BIC, Raízen (Shell), Méliuz, Centauro.com.br, Easy Taxi, Editora Abril e Multiplus fazem parte do Movimento por um Futebol Melhor.

Newcastle’s predicted line-up to face Everton in the Premier League

After rescuing a point against Wolves thanks to a late free-kick from Jacob Murphy, Newcastle welcome one of the Premier League’s high-fliers in Everton on Sunday.

The Toffees have enjoyed a barn-storming start to the new season, with four wins from six, but did taste defeat for the first time when they lost 3-0 to Southampton last week.

Ahead of the game, Magpies boss Steve Bruce has a couple of big calls to make, both in defence and further forward, and with that in mind, below is a look at how the Tyneside club could line up.

The big dilemma for Bruce is of course the fitness of captain Jamaal Lascelles, with the Newcastle boss delivering an update on the centre-back’s status ahead of the Everton game in his pre-match press conference.

He said: “We’ve only got one major concern from last week: the captain, who limped off. He’s got a foot injury and we’ll see how he is in the next 48 hours. But everyone else is OK.”

If Lascelles doesn’t pass a late fitness check, Ciaran Clark could return in defence, with Bruce likely to stick with the same back-five that ultimately helped earn a point against Wolves.

With Jeff Hendrick the only recognised central midfielder in the game at Molineux, Bruce may consider giving him some added help in the engine room, and that could see Isaac Hayden being drafted in for Ryan Fraser.

Further forward, Miguel Almiron’s latest disaster in the Premier League may see the £20m ace drop out, with Joelinton’s added height and presence potentially very useful to combat the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Yerry Mina at set-pieces.

Predicted XI: Darlow; Murphy, Schar, Clark, Fernandez, Lewis; Hendrick, Hayden; Saint-Maximin, Wilson, Joelinton.

Chineses enfim aceitam oferta, e Rafael Marques fica no Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

O Henan Jianye (CHN), enfim, aceitou a oferta do Palmeiras para compra de Rafael Marques. Depois de uma longa queda de braço, o time chinês comunicou no início da noite desta quarta-feira que está de acordo com os termos propostos pelo Verdão. O Alviverde, inclusive, anunciou em seu site oficial a renovação por duas temporadas.

– Sempre deixei bem claro que o meu desejo era permanecer aqui, que é a minha casa. O ano de 2015 foi muito especial para mim e para o clube e eu não conseguia me ver fora de 2016, uma temporada com Libertadores e muita expectativa. Estou feliz demais com o acerto, me sinto muito bem aqui e, graças a Deus, tenho a chance de escrever muitas outras páginas na história deste time gigante – disse o atleta, em entrevista ao site do clube.

O Verdão fez três ofertas ao clube chinês para comprar o camisa 19, e nenhuma delas se aproximou de 1,5 milhão de dólares (cerca de R$ 6 milhões), valor estipulado em contrato para a compra de seus direitos. Embora a quantia não tenha sido divulgada, o L! apurou que o valor é em torno de R$ 3 milhões, ou seja, metade da multa rescisória, e será pago em duas parcelas.

As conversas tinham já avançado, a ponto de aumentar a expectativa da reapresentação do jogador ao Verdão até sexta-feira, em Itu (SP). Neste caso, a vontade do atleta pesou: desde o início da novela Rafael Marques disse que desejava ficar, tanto que abriu mão de um bônus que o Henan devia a ele para acelerar o desfecho com o Palmeiras. Seu empresário, Nenê Zini, foi o responsável por negociar com os chineses, e graças ao pedido de Rafael Marques deu preferência ao Verdão durante toda a novela, mesmo com sondagens de outros times do Brasil após o fim de seu acordo com o Alviverde.

Vice-artilheiro do time no ano passado com 15 gols, Rafael já pegou os seus pertences na Academia de Futebol e está a caminho de Itu (SP). Mesmo reserva no fim da temporada, o atacante de 32 anos é uma figura importante no elenco, que durante a festa do título da Copa do Brasil interrompeu o discurso do diretor de futebol Alexandre Mattos para pedir “fica, Rafael”.

Newcastle missed an Almiron upgrade in Napoli star Hirving Lozano

Newcastle missed a potential summer upgrade on Miguel Almiron in Napoli star Hirving Lozano.

What was the story?

Reports over the summer transfer window suggested that the Magpies were in very advanced talks to sign the Mexico international, and that a deal to lure the winger away from Italy was close.

It was claimed that after enduring a difficult debut campaign in Serie A – he managed just five goals in 34 games across all competitions – Napoli wanted to get him off the books and were willing to sell him for a lower price than what they originally signed him for a year earlier.

Think you’re a big Magpies fan? Can you name these former players by looking at their careers? Go on, give it a go…

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

A deal failed to materialise before the deadline, and the chances of landing a star attacker went with it.

Almiron upgrade

Valued at £25.2m by Transfermarkt, Lozano has got all the raw attributes to become a top player, and he could have been a major game-changer for Newcastle.

His manager at Napoli, Gennaro Gattuso, claimed that his speed is “crazy”, whilst his goal-scoring record at former club PSV is something to behold. Despite predominantly operating behind the front-man and out wide, the Mexican showed his incredible knack at finding the back of the net – not surprising given that he’s been compared to now Atletico Madrid superstar Luis Suarez.

In the 79 games that he played for the Eredivisie giants, he scored 40 goals and provided a further 23 assists too, and when you compare those kinds of numbers to Newcastle’s own resident live-wire, Almiron, then it’s really chalk and cheese.

The Paraguay international has scored a measly nine times in 59 games for the club, and has struggled to see his work-rate and energy reflected in end-product.

Had they managed to land Lozano, they would have got a huge upgrade on the former MLS ace.

موندو تكشف إمكانية موافقة زيدان على تدريب مانشستر يونايتد حال إقالة سولشاير

كشفت صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الكتالونية مدى إمكانية موافقة مدرب نادي ريال مدريد السابق، زين الدين زيدان، على تدريب الفريق الأولل لكرة القدم بنادي مانشستر يونايتد حال إقالة أولي جونار سولشاير.

وزادت التكهنات حول بقاء سولشاير في منصبه بعد الخسارة الكبيرة والمهينة أمام ليفربول يوم أمس الأحد، في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز بنتيجة 0-5 على ملعب “أولد ترافورد”.

تم ترشيح زيدان من أكثر من صحيفة على مدار الساعات الماضية ليتنافس مع مدرب إنتر ميلان، أنطونيو كونتي، الذي أكدت شبكة “سكاي سبورتس” على حماسه لقيادة مانشستر يونايتد.

ولكن على العكس تمامًا يكون موقف زيدان الذي لا يفكر سوى في الراحة بعد الرحيل عن ريال مدريد في نهاية الموسم الماضي واستعادة طاقته بعد الموسم الأخير الصعب مع الملكي.

لا يتعجل زيدان العودة إلى التدريب في عالم كرة القدم لهذا السبب استبعد خيار قيادة مانشستر يونايتد أو نيوكاسل يونايتد.

هناك شيئان فقط يغريان زيدان وهما تدريب منتخب فرنسا وباريس سان جيرمان خاصة في حالة رحيل، ماوريسيو بوتشيتينو، الذي لا يقدم الأداء المنتظر رغم النجوم التي تتواجد في العملاق الفرنسي.

بعد مفاوضات نيوكاسل.. سكاي توضح موقف إيكاردي من مغادرة باريس سان جيرمان

كشفت تقارير صحفية إيطالية أن ماورو إيكاردي مهاجم باريس سان جيرمان الفرنسي، لا يفكر في مغادرة العملاق العاصمي، وسط أنباء عن اقترابه من نيوكاسل يونايتد الإنجليزي.

الجميع ينتظر ما سيحدث في سوق الانتقالات المقبلة لـ نيوكاسل، بعد أن حصلت السعودية على ملكية الماكبايس، وضخ مبالغ ضخمة للغاية.

شبكة “سكاي” الإيطالية أكدت أن ماورو إيكاردي لا يفكر في مغادرة باريس سان جيرمان، وأنه سعيد للغاية داخل النادي الفرنسي هو وزوجته واندا نارا، والتي تدير أعماله أيضًا.

وأشارت التقارير إلى أن ماورو رفض جميع العروض المقدمة له من يوفنتوس ونيوكاسل وأندية أخرى في أوروبا، لرغبته بالاستمرار مع المدرب ماوريسيو بوتشيتينو.

إيكاردي انتقل إلى باريس سان جيرمان في صيف 2020 بشكل نهائي، بعدما قضى موسمًا واحدًا مع النادي الفرنسي معارًا من إنتر ميلان.

اللاعب الأرجنتيني لديه عقد مع باريس سان جيرمان مستمر حتى 2024، وشارك هذا الموسم في 10 مباريات وسجل 3 أهداف بمختلف المسابقات.

Spurs could have dream midfield duo with Weston McKennie arrival

According to ESPN, Tottenham are facing increasing competition for Schalke midfielder Weston McKennie.

What’s the word?

Despite having already signed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer, it appears Jose Mourinho hasn’t finished rebuilding the Spurs midfield ahead of the start of the new Premier League campaign next month.

ESPN claim that the Lilywhites’ reported target, McKennie, is now being pursued by other Premier League clubs, but that it’s Southampton who are currently “leading the race” for the signing of the USA international.

Is it Mido or Pedro Mendes? This Spurs quiz will separate the loyal from the fake…



World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

The report adds that a deal for the 21-year-old could reach up to £20m.

Imagine him and Hojbjerg

Whilst Spurs may feel they already have the ‘defensive midfield’ aspect of their squad sorted following the arrival of Hojbjerg, just imagine the kind of unbreakable wall Jose Mourinho could help build if he paired the Denmark international with McKennie.

The Schalke ace is another ball-winning ace whose energy and relentless running is a perfect match for the modern game. His manager at the Bundesliga side, David Wagner, said: “He’s an outstanding talent. In the No.6 or No.8 position he has the mentality, a real working mentality that you need. And he’s brave on the ball as well.”

His teammate at international, Reggie Cannon, further backed that up, revealing: “If you lose the ball, you know he’s going to be the first one running (to get) the ball. He’s a leader and that’s something I can learn from – everyone can learn from to up their game.”

Whilst playing two workman like midfielders in the same line-up seems counter-productive or even defensive, Mourinho could help bring back that solidity that was sorely lacking from Spurs last season – only Chelsea and Burnley conceded more than their 47 Premier League goals out of the top ten.

The teams that Mourinho has been successful with, particularly at the likes of Chelsea and Inter, have had a formidable spine to them – think back to players like Claude Makelele, Michael Essien and Esteban Cambiasso to name but a few. Playing Hojbjerg and McKennie together would offer greater protection to the Spurs back-line and help strike fear into the rest of the Premier League.

Nobody would feel comfortable playing against a duo that hunt down every possession, and get the ball moving up the pitch as quickly as possible. It has all the hallmarks of being a potentially great midfield partnership.

Leeds can resolve huge Bielsa headache if Orta lands £15m target

Leeds United are on the hunt for a new central defender and it appears they may have edged closer to landing one if reports are to be believed.

What’s the word?

According to The Sun, the Yorkshire giants are lining up a £15m swoop for Spurs defender Juan Foyth with Marcelo Bielsa believing his fellow Argentinian compatriot would improve the Premier League newcomers.

It’s also claimed that this won’t affect the club’s pursuit to land fan-favourite loan star Ben White on a permanent basis either, which will come as encouraging news to the Elland Road faithful.

Foyth has fallen out of favour in north London and is ‘set to quit’ the club in search of regular match opportunities.

The idea of playing under the 65-year-old is also of huge appeal after the centre-back claimed “[Bielsa is] one of the best coaches in the world and it would be nice to be coached by him.”

Bielsa headache alleviated?

There’s no denying that the Whites will need to bolster their squad in order to compete in the top-flight but no position will be more of a concern than in central defence.

Currently, Bielsa only has one senior option in the role in skipper Liam Cooper, so finding the right sort of target to fill such a void will undoubtedly provide the Argentine with his biggest headache in two years at the club.

Soon-to-be free-agent Gaetano Berardi has been ruled out of action until April 2021, so that’s put pay to any new contract, you’d imagine.

If they can clinch White from Brighton’s grasp after a stunning breakthrough year, it would be huge to their chances of longevity in the PL, but adding a player like Foyth alongside him would surely be the stuff of dreams.

The 22-year-old has been courted by Barcelona in recent months and despite a lack of regular game time at Spurs, plenty have heaped praise on him.

His former boss Mauricio Pochettino called him a “clever” player with “a lot of potential” whilst Jose Mourinho halted a loan exit in January, labelling Foyth “very solid” and “very calm”.

Leeds having a partnership of White and Foyth would be cetainly be a good way to kickstart their first top-flight campaign in 16 years. Solid.

CEO do Botafogo explica relação com Lyon e cutuca associativo: 'Limites'

MatériaMais Notícias

CEO da SAF do Botafogo, Thairo Arruda afirmou nesta quarta-feira (26), no Summit Academy da CBF, em São Paulo, que o clube busca restabelecer a relação com o Lyon após a ruptura recente dentro do grupo multiclubes da Eagle Holding. Ele também comentou o funcionamento do sistema financeiro compartilhado entre as equipes e explicou como se dá a convivência entre a SAF e o associativo no dia a dia do clube.

➡️ Presidente do Botafogo aponta erros da Eagle e defende ação: ‘Meu objetivo é proteger’

— Nós somos talvez os pioneiros, juntos a Cruzeiro e Bahia, estamos com quatro anos de SAF. Quando ouvi falar sobre o tema eu pensei, preciso transmitir algo baseado na experiência do Botafogo. A primeira lição aprendida é: não emprestem dinheiro ao Lyon, podem emprestar para qualquer outro clube, para o Lyon não, eles não pagam… brincadeira (risos) — declarou o dirigente.

Ao explicar o modelo implementado pelo grupo, Thairo afirmou que o sistema de caixa compartilhado foi decisivo nos primeiros anos e detalhou o movimento financeiro recente entre as equipes.

— O caso do Botafogo em fazer parte de um grupo multiclubes foi especial, deu muito certo nestes primeiros anos de existência, o John incrementou um sistema de caixa compartilhado entre os clubes, que é ótimo quando um clube precisa mais de caixa, e vice-versa, acontece uma troca. Se o Lyon vende um jogador por 50 milhões de euros, e o Botafogo precisa de caixa, e vice-versa. O que aconteceu recentemente foi que no começo o Botafogo se beneficiou disso, tinha mais empréstimos do Lyon ao Botafogo, e depois isso se inverteu, hoje o Botafogo vai fechar o ano de 2025 com uma receita recorde, vamos fechar o ano com uma receita próxima de R$ 1,5 bilhão, boa parte deste valor a gente reparou o empréstimo do Lyon e também tivemos como saldo. Aconteceu essa ruptura, talvez temporária da sociedade, a gente está tentando se reestabelecer, estão tendo muitas conversas para reestabelecer a união dos clubes e dos sócios — completou

Thairo Arruda também abordou o relacionamento entre a SAF e o associativo do Botafogo, mencionando o processo de construção de limites operacionais nos últimos anos.

— A área mista, dos atletas, eles (associativo) diziam: “A gente precisa ir lá, o presidente, o vice-presidente, ter acesso ao campo”. A gente dá algumas credenciais todos os jogos, eles vão para lá com a gente, a gente passa a trabalhar junto, a tal ponto que eles começaram a querer entrar no vestiário. Então, a gente começa a colocar barreiras. A gente fala: “Você pode passar até aqui, daqui para frente você já não pode mais entrar”. Assim, a gente vai construindo esse entendimento de como as duas partes funcionam ao longo dos quatro anos. Talvez o primeiro e o segundo ano foram mais assim, mas tem limites. Hoje, chegamos num ponto em que as partes já se entendem só de olhar um para o outro. A gente já sabe que pode e que não pode, isso tem tido bastante efeito positivo no Botafogo. Mesmo com a troca de presidência do ano passado para cá, a gente continua tendo essa boa relação — explicou o CEO da SAF do Alvinegro.

Leicester: Fans have likened James Maddison to David Beckham following Instagram post

Plenty of Leicester City fans have spotted some similarities to footballing legend David Beckham in James Maddison.

The Foxes midfielder has posted a photo to his

/CBQ8IW2FCaf/”>Instagram, sporting new colours for a Puma advertisement campaign. The picture has attracted a lot of attention from Leicester fans, with a few likening him to the England legend in the comments on the image.

Maddison joined the Midlands side from Norwich in 2018 for a fee of £20m (via BBC Sport). Since his arrival, he has caught the eye of top Premier League teams including Manchester United, who are reportedly looking to sign him this summer.

The midfielder has tallied six goals and three assists in the league this season and he is on track to beat his debut campaign with the Foxes where he totalled seven goals and seven assists (via Transfermarkt).

Maddison has just the one senior England cap so far but, with the way he is making a name for himself in the Premier League, it will be hard for Gareth Southgate to ignore his ability in the middle of the park.

He may not be the next Becks in terms of his international status and goal count but the 23-year-old is certainly on his way to making a name for himself as a top-quality midfield talent.

What is your favourite James Maddison memory so far, Foxes? Have your say in the comments below!
