Norwich City: Fans call for Kjetil Knutsen

A number of Norwich City supporters have been left impressed by reported managerial candidate Kjetil Knutsen after footage of his Bodo/Glimt side was shared via Twitter.

The 53-year-old has been strongly linked with the vacant manager’s job at Carrow Road, with Dean Smith and Frank Lampard also reportedly among the leading candidates to replace Daniel Farke, who was relieved of his duties within hours of Saturday’s win at Brentford.

Knutsen made history last year by guiding Bodo/Glimt to their first Norwegian league title and his team also made waves on the continent in recent weeks, thrashing Roma 6-1 in the Europa Conference League and earning a 2-2 draw in the return fixture at the Stadio Olimpico.

According to a report in the Eastern Daily Press, he is renowned as a process-driven coach with a clear footballing identity, his tactics revolving around a possession-based, high-pressing 4-3-3 setup.

Norwich fans impressed by Knutsen

Twitter fan channel Canary Cast shared a 72-second clip from the aforementioned thrashing of Roma which showed Bodo/Glimt playing an intricate, free-flowing move with a multitude of passes before a killer through ball resulted in a sumptuous goal.

These Norwich fans were impressed by what they saw and gave their backing to Knutsen being potentially hired as Farke’s successor.

“Completely missed this. I’m sold. Get him in now. Him or Favre. Let Villa have Lampard. Any team that can put 6 past a Mourinho team and then draw 2-2 in Italy deserves some attention.”

Regularizado pelo Avaí, meia colombiano pode estrear contra o Sport

MatériaMais Notícias

Em testes no Avaí desde o final de julho, o meia Bryan Urueña, de 24 anos, foi regularizado pelo clube. O jogador passa a integrar a equipe em um momento de busca por reforços. Com nomes como o meia Chico, do CRB, e do atacante Tiago Luis, do Goiás, entre os especulados, o clube azurra tem até esta sexta-feira para inscrever jogadores para o segundo turno do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Sem avanço nas negociações, o Avaí optou por apostar nos atletas de casa. O meia colombiano chega para disputar posição com Juan, Marquinhos e Pedro Castro, caso o técnico Claudinei Oliveira queira utilizá-lo em sua posição de origem.

Vale lembrar que a estreia de Bryan Urueña ainda não tem data prevista, já que o comandante concedeu uma entrevista no início de agosto dizendo que precisa ter certeza de que o jogador vai ajudar a equipe na sequência da temporada, antes de mandá-lo para campo.

– Se a gente tiver a certeza que o Bryan vai nos ajudar, que vai ser o cara que vai fazer a diferença, vamos contar com ele, se não, não vamos contar, não podemos errar. Temos que ter a condição que ele é a solução, eu não tenho a convicção ainda – reclarou Claudinei Oliveira há um mês.

Caso ganhe espaço no time durante a semana, Urueña poderá receber uma oportunidade no jogo do próximo domingo, contra o Sport. A partida válida pela 23ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro será realizada às 16h, na Ilha do Retiro.

تين هاج يحذر ماجواير: شارة القيادة لن تضمن لك اللعب الدائم مع مانشستر يونايتد

حذر إريك تن هاج، هاري ماجواير، من أن شارة قيادة مانشستر يونايتد لا تقدم له أي ضمان للمشاركة في المباريات كأساسي بشكل منتظم.

ومن المتوقع أن يحافظ تين هاج على ثقته مع رافاييل فاران وليساندرو مارتينيز في زيارة السبت إلى ساوثهامبتون، بعد أن لعب الثنائي جنبًا إلى جنب وساهما في فوز مانشستر يونايتد الأول هذا الموسم وذلك خلال مواجهة ليفربول الإثنين الماضي.

وهذا يعني أن برونو فرنانديز من المرجح أن يستمر كقائد للفريق في مباراة الغد، حال عدم مشاركة ماجواير، مثلما حدث أمام الريدز.

عندما قيل لتين هاج أن احتمال عدم لعب قائد فريقه كان موقفًا محرجًا وموضوعًا للنقاش، قال الهولندي: “نعم لكن هذا لا يعني أنك عندما تكون قائدًا، فأنت مؤهل للعب دائمًا، خاصةً عندما يكون لديك أيضًا فاران في فريقك”.

وردًا على سؤال عما إذا كان سيفكر في تعيين قائد جديد، أضاف تين هاج في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “جارديان” الإنجليزية: “لا أفكر في ذلك الآن، نحن لم نفعل ذلك سوى مباراة واحدة (عدم مشاركة ماجواير ومنح شارة القيادة لـ برونو)”.

وواصل: “لدينا مجموعة قيادية وهاري واحد منهم وبرونو واحد منهم، قام برونو بعمل جيد كقائد، لقد كان قدوة أمام ليفربول ويجلب الكثير من الطاقة للفريق، داخل وخارج الملعب”.

تم وضع فاران في برنامج تدريبي فردي خلال فترة ما قبل الموسم في محاولة لتعزيز لياقته البدنية بعد أن عانى من إصابات الموسم الماضي وبدأ على مقاعد البدلاء في أول هزيمتين أمام برايتون وبرينتفورد.

لكن تين هاج أعرب عن سعادته بأداء الفرنسي الفائز بكأس العالم، أمام ليفربول وقال إنه سعيد باستدعاء مدافع له مكانته”.

واستمر: “فاران لديه مكانة هائلة، في فترة ما قبل الموسم اتخذنا قرارًا بإعادة تأهليه جسديًا لذلك كانت بدايته بطيئة بعض الشيء”.

وأكد: “لقد كان لائقًا في المباريات الأولى ولكن في الفترة الأولى من التحضير للموسم لم يكن دائمًا هكذا، لذلك نحن سعداء لأننا قمنا بإعداده بهذه الطريقة وترى عندما احتاجه الفريق كان موجودًا بالفعل”.

واختتم: “يُظهر ملفه الشخصي ومكانته وما فاز به بالفعل في الماضي أنه يستطيع حقًا المساهمة في فريقه، نحن في حاجة إليه، تنتظرنا العديد من المباريات”.

Tottenham to revamp scouting network

An exciting update has emerged over Tottenham Hotspur’s plans behind-the-scenes…

What’s the word?

According to football.london reporter Alasdair Gold, the north London outfit are currently revamping their scouting and recruitment network under sporting director Fabio Paratici and director of technical performance Steve Hitchen.

“Understand Fabio Paratici and Steve Hitchen are currently undertaking an overhaul of Spurs’ scouting set-up, among other departments, to bring it in line with Europe’s top clubs,” he revealed on Twitter.

In an accompanying article, the ever-reliable journalist claims that the Italian supremo is putting processes in place to ensure that Tottenham can spot and snap up the best young talent across Europe and bring their setup in line with some of the biggest clubs around the world.

Paratici masterclass

Paratici has vast experience, having been largely responsible for Juventus’ success over the years, having spent 11 years in a similar role in Turin.

Spurs’ scouting department will hopefully soon match those at top Premier League and European sides too, thus handing manager Antonio Conte and the entire club a game-changing boost.

In recent years, their transfer activity has been very contrasting.

There was once a time that the Lilywhites went through two transfer windows without signing a single player under Mauricio Pochettino, who still managed to guide the team to a Champions League final.

Some additions like Ryan Sessegnon, Giovani Lo Celso, Jack Clarke and even Steven Bergwijn have flattered to deceive, all struggling with injuries and inconsistencies.

This summer saw a glimpse into what could lie ahead, with Paratici signing some promising future talent in Bryan Gil (20) and Pape Matar Sarr (19). Even Cristian Romero (23) and Emerson Royal (22) are others who can be considered in this bracket.

[snack-amp-story url = “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/spurs-latest-news-updates-transfers-antonio-conte-thfc” title=”Read the latest Spurs news, transfer updates and much, much more!”]

Gold’s major revelation has also left plenty of the Spurs faithful absolutely buzzing with excitement – as relayed by This is Futbol, some fans were claiming this news was “extremely positive”, whilst others claimed that Paratici was going to save the club with such a move, amongst many, many more.

Now under a world-class and trophy-laden manager in Conte, Spurs may be about to enter a hugely encouraging era, even more so after this behind-the-scenes development at Hotspur Way.

It’ll take time but these are certainly the right steps to get the north Londoners back in the conversation.

Rahul Dravid’s limited-over career appeared to be over when India’s selectors plumped for youngsters in late 2007. But now, after a lengthy stint on the sidelines, the 36-year-old Dravid is back for next month’s tri-series in Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy.He said he didn’t look at the recall as a chance to prove his detractors wrong. “I have never played my cricket that way, wanting to prove a point,” Dravid told the . “To me, it’s about trying your best to be the best you can be, day after day, in whichever format you are playing and for whichever team you are playing.”Dravid, who has had a long break after the IPL ended in May, said: “It’s nice to be back, I am very happy. I am looking forward to the Sri Lanka tri-series and the Champions Trophy in South Africa, to giving it my best. It will be nice to catch up with the boys once again.”Dravid has played 333 ODIs and is among a few batsman to have made over 10,000 runs in the format. “I will do my best for the team’s cause,” he said. “I have always believed in preparing well before a match or a competition and it will be no different this time.”

Vice em 2009, Marquinho detalha dia da decisão da Sula contra a LDU

MatériaMais Notícias

O dia 2 de dezembro de 2009 é inesquecível para a torcida tricolor. Uma temporada após conquistar o vice-campeonato da Copa Libertadores, o Fluminense se viu frente a frente com a LDU no Maracanã. Naquela vez, a decisão era da Sul-Americana, mas os equatorianos novamente frustraram milhares de torcedores que compareceram e fizeram linda festa no estádio.

Ao lado de Gum, Marquinho é um dos atletas que fizeram parte da campanha de 2009 que está no atual elenco. E o meia partilha do sentimento da torcida: o vice-campeonato da Sul-Americana, no Maracanã, não sai de sua cabeça.

-Foi um pecado a gente não levar aquele título, mas a experiência de ter estado em campo naquele dia foi única. O final do jogo com a torcida de pé, cantando e aplaudindo foi sensacional. Para o clube, o jogo na sequência, contra o Coritiba, foi mais importante, mas essa partida contra a LDU nunca vai sair da minha cabeça – comentou Marquinho, meio-campo do Fluminense.

Depois de perder por 5 a 1 em Quito, no Estádio Casa Blanca, o Flu, comandado por Cuca e empurrado por mais 69 mil torcedores, venceu por 3 a 0. Faltou um gol para a taça ir para as Laranjeiras. Anos depois, Marquinho relembra a luta do time em campo e as dificuldades que a equipe encontrou contra o rival.

-Foi um jogo muito pesado. Teve briga com juiz, teve briga entre os jogadores e muita discussão. A gente conseguiu o 2 a 0 no primeiro tempo e a torcida estava toda em cima, empurrando a gente. Uma sensação incrível, indescritível. Tanto que no intervalo não fomos para o vestiário, ficamos em campo, depois sentamos no banco de reservas, para permanecer naquele clima. Tentamos de tudo na segunda etapa. O Fred foi expulso e não dá para dizer se com ele em campo conseguiríamos mais gols. A arbitragem também prejudicou demais.

Nesta quinta, o Maracanã volta a ser palco do duelo entre Fluminense e LDU, desta vez pela partida de ida das oitavas de final da Copa Sul-Americana. O meia Marquinho, que se recupera de uma cirurgia no joelho direito, não está à disposição de Abel Braga, mas será mais um tricolor nas arquibancadas. A última parcial divulgada pelo clube foi de mais de 30 mil ingressos vendidos.

A presença e o apoio da torcida em 2009, antes, durante e depois da final, também são lembradas por Marquinho, que destacou a importância dos torcedores naquela final. O meia relembrou momentos especiais que viveu desde a saída da concentração do clube até o gramado do Maracanã.

-Logo na saída do hotel, a gente estava entrando no ônibus e o Cuca chamou o Diguinho e eu. Nós, juntos com o Ruy, que tinha um banjo, e o Tartá, que fazia o batuque, comandávamos a “bagunça” no fundo do ônibus. O Cuca pediu para a gente fazer muito barulho, brincar bastante, porque estava sentindo o grupo muito tenso e queria que o pessoal relaxasse. E assim foi, todos empolgados, gritando e a gente nem percebeu o trajeto – disse o meia, antes de seguir:

– Quando fomos chegando no Maracanã percebemos aquela multidão nos cercando, fazendo o corredor para o ônibus. Foi muito marcante. Me lembro de ver jogadores chorando de tão emocionante. No caminho para o vestiário colocaram cartazes com mensagens das famílias… Foi tudo muito empolgante.

Davangere record maiden KPL Cup win

A round-up of the fifth day of the KPL Cup

Cricinfo staff13-Sep-2009Shamanoor Davangere Diamonds recorded their first win of the KPL Cup, beating Bjiapur Bulls by three wickets in a last-over thriller at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Chasing a modest target of 131, Davangere were rocked by two early wickets but important contributions from Sunil Raju (42), Yere Goud (20) and Mohanram Nidesh (21 not out) saw them home off the penultimate ball of the match. Raju and Goud were involved in a composed stand of 48 for the fourth wicket, while Nidesh was involved in a crucial stand of 29 for the seventh with Muralidharen Gautam to level the scores. Nidesh then picked a single off the penultimate ball of the 20th over to seal victory and overcome a three-wicket burst from Jayprakash Shetty.A spell of 4 for 16 by Prasana Patil had earlier helped Davangere limit Bijapur to a chaseable score. Patil triggered a collapse, as Bijapur lost four wickets for 11 after Sudhindra Shinde (30) and Surendra Prasad (31) had revived the team with a 54-run stand. They had been pegged back early at 57 for 5, and the hard-fought recovery was squandered by the late flurry of wickets.David Johnson (4 for 30) and R Vinay Kumar (2 for 20) starred for Belagavi Panthers yet again, as they beat Malnad Gladiators by six runs at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Malnad were in a good position to scale down a target of 153. They had been handed the advantage by SL Akshay (42) and Raju Bhatkal (35), and at 119 for 4, it appeared they could wrap it up. But Johnson and Vinay Kumar then caused a collapse and Malnad ended up losing their last six wickets for 27 to be consigned to their second defeat of the tournament.The Panthers, at the end of their innings, would have been disappointed they only finished with 152. Opener Jagadeesh Arunkumar smashed his second half-century in as many days, and was supported well by Shyam Ponnappa (34) and Manish Pandey (39). At 135 for 2, the Panthers would have been targeting a score in the range of 170 but they collapsed, losing five wickets for 15 and had to settle for a relatively disappointing score, which, thanks to their seamers, proved just about enough.In a day of close games, a ruthless 34-ball 70 from Steve Lazarus handed Bangalore Brigadiers (Urban) their third win of the tournament, as they beat Bangalore Provident (Rural) by three wickets. There was little hope for the Brigadiers when they were reduced to 36 for 4 in pursuit of 163, thanks to seamer NC Aiyappa (3 for 26). But Lazarus and captain Deepak Chougule went about setting things right, adding 52 for the fifth wicket. Lazarus was clearly the more aggressive batsman, and continued to attack after Chougule’s dismissal, smashing four fours and six sixes before being dismissed with the score on 132. M Vinod (22) and Narayanan Prasad (17 not out) then took over the mantle, and saw their team home with four balls to spare.The Brigadiers would not have had to chase such a challenging target, had it not been for half-centuries from Sunil Kumar Jain and Balachandra Akhil, as well as a blistering cameo of 36 from Aniruddha Joshi. The trio revived the Provident innings after their team had lost its first three wickets with just 20 on the board. Medium-pacer David Mathias impressed with three wickets. Both teams recovered from early setbacks, but the Brigadiers did a slightly better job to emerge victorious.

Cuca, Mattos e Maurício se reúnem com elenco antes de treino do Verdão

MatériaMais Notícias

A quarta-feira na Academia de Futebol começou com uma reunião de cerca de 20 minutos entre Cuca, Alexandre Mattos, Maurício Galiotte, comissão técnica e jogadores. Todos se reuniram no gramado do CT, onde o treinador foi o que mais falou e de forma efusiva, gesticulando bastante. O diretor de futebol se pronunciou na sequência, também de um jeito enérgico, enquanto o presidente chegou no fim para passar as últimas mensagens. Durante essa pequena reunião, a imprensa não pôde entrar no gramado nem fazer imagens.

A intenção do papo era manter todo o grupo focado, mesmo os que não jogam, depois de quatro partidas sem perder no Campeonato Brasileiro. Ainda sonhando em conquistar o título brasileiro, a percepção é de que não pode haver nenhum percalço internamente que atrapalhe esta busca ao líder Corinthians, hoje com 11 pontos de vantagem, restando 13 jogos.

– É uma conversa que tem quase toda semana. Conversa de pontos, que eles colocam para a gente atingir, e falando também da nossa melhora, da nossa possibilidade de título. A gente vem conversando, todos expondo seus pontos, para que a gente possa a cada jogo estar melhor e conseguir esse objetivo, que está difícil, mas ainda em aberto – explicou Moisés, após o treino.

Com 43 pontos, o Palmeiras é o quarto colocado no Campeonato Brasileiro e traçou uma minimeta de seis partidas para avaliar se conseguirá chegar no Corinthians. Nos dois primeiros jogos da série, o atual campeão venceu Coritiba e Fluminense. Agora, enfrenta no sábado o Santos, às 19h, no Allianz Parque. Este é um confronto direto, já que o Peixe tem um ponto a mais e é o vice-líder na classificação.
