Casagrande aponta técnico superestimado no Brasileirão: “Muito exagero”

Casagrande, comentarista e ex-jogador (Reprodução) Walter Casagrande considera exageradas as avaliações que são feitas ao trabalho de Fernando Diniz. Do ponto de vista tático, o ex-atacante entende que o treinador oferece um leque técnico reduzido. Após a classificação sofrida do Vasco na Copa do Brasil, Casão apontou características do perfil deste treinador que não lhe agradam. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Eu acho exagero dos dois lados. Até evito escrever sobre o trabalho do Diniz porque sempre contestei o trabalho dele.

<!--> Roger Penske, the owner of Team Penske, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and INDYCAR, has taken accountability for the violations Penske drivers Josef Newgarden and Will Power committed in the Fast 12 session of Sunday's qualifying for the Indy 500 (12:30 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app). In an exclusive interview with FOX Sports' Jamie Little, Penske said he was "totally disappointed" by the violations, which marked Team Penske's second major technical violation over the last two years, and that he "didn't help" the integrity of INDYCAR.
