Cicinho durante o Arena SBT – Reprodução/YouTube
Cicinho foi convicto ao colocar o Internacional como mais um postulante a ser o campeão do Brasileirão Série A. No “Jogo Aberto”, o comentarista da Band teceu muitos elogios ao time comandado por Roger Machado.
Em sua avaliação, o Colorado pode ir longe na competição. No sábado, mostrou sua força diante do Flamengo, no Maracanã. Depois de sair na frente com Bruno Henrique, permitiu o empate dos donos da casa. A impressão, porém, foi muito positiva.
“O Internacional é uma realidade no Campeonato Brasileiro. Foi campeão estadual, tem o trabalho do Roger Machado desde o ano passado e fez um grande jogo contra o Flamengo. O Roger é um grande treinador, desde o ano passado foi muito bem. É um time que desponta junto com o Flamengo”, disse Cicinho.
Campeão gaúcho, o Internacional agora mira os principais desafios da temporada. Além da Série A, o clube espera ter bons resultados também na Libertadores e Copa do Brasil.
Felipe Melo segue a linha de Cicinho
Impressionado com o elenco montado pelo Internacional, Felipe Melo colocou a equipe gaúcha no mesmo patamar do Flamengo. No “Fechamento Sportv”, o ex-volante fez questão de exaltar o trabalho de Roger Machado e prevê briga pela ponta da tabela.
“Estreou fora de casa, vem em uma crescente, foi campeão gaúcho e, ao meu modo de pensar, tem material humano, técnico e tática capaz de brigar pelo Brasileirão”, palpitou Felipe Melo.
Rochet fora
O Internacional não poderá contar com Sergio Rochet para os próximos jogos. Na manhã da segunda-feira, o clube informou que o goleiro passou por cirurgia em virtude de fratura no quarto metacarpo da mão esquerda. Não há previsão para o seu retorno aos gramados.
O uruguaio já iniciou tratamento, mas será desfalque no começo da Libertadores e nas próximas rodadas do Brasileirão.

NBA playoffs: Pistons hang on in New York to force a Game 6
NEW YORK — J.B. Bickerstaff’s message to his team heading into a do-or-die Game 5 was simple.“We’ve overcome a ton of odds, right?” he said before the game. “So why not one more time?”The Pistons answered his call, grinding through a rugged, physical, often-sloppy Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementGame 5 was a slugfest in a phone booth: eight ties, 14 lead changes, 21 combined missed free throws, 51 personal fouls, neither team able to gain more than 10 points of separation. Once again, the contest was decided in crunch time; this time, though, it was the Pistons that prevailed in the clutch, with Detroit star Cade Cunningham (24 points on 6-for-17 shooting, eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals and a block in 37 minutes) knocking down a pair of free throws with five seconds remaining to stave off elimination.Cunningham’s […]

What we learned from Jim Rutherford after Rick Tocchet’s decision to depart Canucks
VANCOUVER — It was an announcement Jim Rutherford never wanted to make. Vancouver’s president of hockey operations stepped up to the podium at Rogers Arena on Tuesday afternoon and delivered the news already circulating throughout the city: Rick Tocchet wouldn’t be returning as Canucks head coach.Rutherford got a call from Tocchet’s agent on Tuesday morning informing him of the decision. Shortly after, Tocchet personally called Rutherford and explained the decision in further detail. It came as a surprise because, as Rutherford explained, the conversations he had with Tocchet over the last few weeks were forward-looking and gave the impression he would be back next season. Rutherford explained that Tocchet was talking about his plans for checking in on players in the summer (including a trip to Sweden to visit Elias Pettersson), what he wanted to do differently during next fall’s […]
Mark Prior talks Dodgers pitching injuries: ‘It’s not a good quality of life’
LOS ANGELES — Mark Prior’s past 12 months as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitching coach have required constant triage. His staffs are in constant flux, partly by design and partly due to a spate of injuries. The Dodgers won the World Series a year ago despite having just three healthy starters and have tried to spend their way through it.AdvertisementNow, two former All-Star starters getting paid a combined $318.5 million are among the prominent starting pitchers on the shelf before the calendar has flipped to May.No team in baseball has gotten fewer innings from its starters. No bullpen has been used more often. It’s an unenviable position.“It’s not a good quality of life,” Prior said Tuesday afternoon as the Dodgers rolled out their second scheduled bullpen game of this young season. “For anybody.”Blake Snell went on the injured list just […]
Ohňostroj, bubny i křepčící Ďaloga. Brno v noci přivítalo zlaté hochy Komety
Desítky příznivců se srocovaly kolem brněnské arény už chvíli po zlatém úspěchu, k němuž Kometa dokráčela v úterý ve čtvrt na devět večer. Čekání na šampiony si příznivci krátili skandováním. Asi půl hodiny po půlnoci přijel před brněnskou arénu jako předvoj majitel klubu Libor Zábranský, jehož přivítali fanoušci aplausem, s některými z nich se i vyfotil.To hlavní nastalo chvíli před půl druhou ráno. Klubový autobus Komety se objevil před arénou a stovky příznivců propukly v jásot. Hráče brněnští příznivci přivítali menším ohňostrojem a světlicemi. Tak jsme mistři no a co! Skandovali fanoušci Komety na své hrdiny poté, co se otevřely dveře autobusu na parkovišti před brněnskou arénou.Z autobusu se postupně začali soukat zlatí brněnští hoši. Velký aplaus si vysloužil kapitán Jakub Flek nebo slovenský forvard Kristián Pospíšil, ovace si užil i třeba trenér Kamil Pokorný. Příznivci taky bouřlivě přivítali obránce Marka Ďalogu, který si pozornost užíval a na schodech autobusu křepčil. […]
Senators shut out Leafs, force Game 6 in Ottawa: Takeaways
TORONTO — Another day, another missed opportunity for the Maple Leafs to close out a series.After a 4-0 Senators win in Game 5, the Leafs still have a 3-2 series lead but you might not know it by the way they played at home. They struggled to connect passes when it mattered, could not execute with the puck deep in the Senators’ zone and generally looked tense.AdvertisementBy this point, we know the story: the talent on this Leafs team trumps the Senators, but the Leafs’ perennial problems closing out series have surfaced again.The Leafs’ core of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, John Tavares and Morgan Rielly are now 1-12 in games with a chance to win a series.Full credit to the Senators for closing well defensively and getting elevated performances from players like Jake Sanderson and Linus Ullmark, who […]
