Felipe Melo enalteceu estreia do Fluminense no Mundial (MARCELO GONÇALVES / FLUMINENSE FC)
Comentarista aproveitou invencibilidade na primeira rodada para destacar que os representantes do futebol nacional não devem ser subestimados pelos europeus
Felipe Melo, após o Fluminense mostrar eficiência ao empatar diante do Borussia Dortmund, enalteceu os brasileiros no Mundial. Batendo de frente com o clube alemão, o Tricolor esteve perto de somar três pontos, algo que trouxe solidez ao discurso do ex-jogador. Apesar do jejum de títulos da seleção, não existem dúvidas da presença de craques capazes de diminuir a atual diferença em relação aos times europeus.
“O Fluminense dominou do início ao fim. Faltou, de fato, eficiência para fazer o gol e levar os três pontos para casa, mas demonstramos que o futebol brasileiro não está morto. Pelo contrário, ainda continuamos sendo um celeiro de craques mundiais. Em termos de títulos, somos a seleção mais vencedora da história da Copa do Mundo. Parabéns ao Fluminense, fez um grande jogo.”, disse Felipe Melo, em vídeo no Instagram.
“Os brasileiros não estão mortos, são bons times. Como eu falei antes da competição, eu esperava que os brasileiros pudessem se classificar (para o mata-mata). Sabemos que temos mais esperanças depois da primeira rodada que tudo é possível. Vamos que vamos.”, acrescentou.
Felipe Melo vê solidez em campo
Minimizando o nível do Espérance e a pressão aplicada pelo Seattle Sounders, Felipe Melo enalteceu os triunfos de Flamengo e Botafogo. Ainda que o Palmeiras tenha empatado com o Porto, o time alviverde também foi enaltecido por dominar o clube português. Neste cenário, existe um sentimento de otimismo em relação aos próximos jogos do Mundial.
“Parabéns ao Flamengo, que dominou (o Espérance) e concluiu em gol. Por isso venceu muito bem. Eu não quero saber se o time tunisiano é fraco ou não. Parabéns ao Botafogo, que foi eficiente e fez dois gols. Sofreu, mas não importa. O que importa são os três pontos. Parabéns ao Palmeiras que, apesar de não ter feito os gols, dominou o Porto.”, prosseguiu.
Goleada do Palmeiras?
Além do Fluminense, Felipe Melo possui uma torcida particular pelo sucesso do Palmeiras no Mundial. Satisfeito com o rendimento que garantiu um duelo parelho contra o Porto, o comentarista considera que, na última rodada, existe margem para que uma goleada seja aplicada no Inter Miami, situação que pode definir o desfecho do Grupo A.
“Assisti o jogo entre Inter Miami e Al Ahly e, sem dúvidas, se o Palmeiras jogar o que jogou (contra o Porto) a tendência é de no mínimo cinco no Inter Miami. O Palmeiras perdeu alguns duelos aéreos que a gente não vê o Palmeiras perdendo no futebol sul-americano. O Porto teve oportunidades em bolas paradas que a gente não costuma ver adversários do Palmeiras tendo.”, opinou Felipe Melo, no Fechamento SporTV.

Rafael Devers finds his groove in solid first impression on Giants debut
SAN FRANCISCO — As cameras clicked and flashbulbs popped and Rafael Devers held up his No.16 Giants jersey for the first time Tuesday afternoon, an impatient voice shouted from the wings.“¡Póntela! ¡Póntela!”Willy Adames was among the contingent of Giants players who attended the press conference on the suite level to introduce Devers. Adames wasn’t interested in the whats and whys and hows behind the franchise’s most transformative trade in a generation — including the juicy drama and acrimonious conditions in which the Boston Red Sox would seek to jettison a bona fide star just 28 months after signing him to a 10-year, $313.5 million contract.AdvertisementAll Adames wanted to witness was the moment that Devers buttoned up his new jersey. Whether you get dressed in front of a locker or in a phone booth, there’s something transformative about a costume change. […]
Ronald Acuña Jr., Marcell Ozuna come through in Braves’ much-needed walk-off win over Mets
ATLANTA — Fresh off winning NL Player of the Week and being the only Atlanta Braves player prominent in the first All-Star fan voting update, Ronald Acuña Jr. was asked Tuesday afternoon to assess his team’s situation as it pertained to the standings and the trade deadline looming in six weeks.If “dire” or “desperate” are the words that would come to mind for some of us, they were not for Acuña as the Braves prepared to face the NL East-leading New York Mets for the first of seven games between the teams in a 10-day stretch that could go a long way in determining if there’s hope for Atlanta.Advertisement“Obviously, these games are important, so we’re going to do everything we can to win,” Acuña said through an interpreter a few hours before he and the Braves did precisely that in […]
Newest Reds marvel at Elly De La Cruz on the field, in the clubhouse
CINCINNATI — When Brady Singer was traded to the Cincinnati Reds, Jonathan India told him he was lucky to get to watch Elly De La Cruz every night.College teammates at the University of Florida, Singer and India were traded for each other in November. They’d talked before and after the trade, each telling the other about their new teams and teammates. Few people had better seats to the De La Cruz experience than India, who spent last season as De La Cruz’s double-play partner. Singer had already gotten used to having a young superstar behind him at shortstop in Bobby Witt Jr., and now he has De La Cruz.Advertisement“I got spoiled with Bobby, and it happens every night — ‘That’s Bob.’ Now I get to say, ‘Yeah, it’s Elly. That’s what he does,’” Singer said Tuesday afternoon. “I’ve got the […]
For Pirates’ Don Kelly, a Detroit homecoming doubles as a matchup with a mentor
DETROIT — Here inside the ballpark where he became a cult hero, Pittsburgh Pirates manager Don Kelly sat on a dugout bench and chuckled.“After I got thrown out a few times,” Kelly said, “he called me and said I should probably stay in the game.”The “he” Kelly was referring to? Tigers manager A.J. Hinch, who gave Kelly his first coaching job with the Houston Astros. Kelly’s return to Detroit — his first one as a big-league manager — and his latest reunion with Hinch made for eventful pregame banter.Advertisement“I’ll put my serious face on,” Hinch joked, “and say I hope we make it a miserable three days back in Detroit.”More than a decade since Kelly last played as a Tiger, the wiry utilityman remains a Detroit fan fixation. There are memes and clips commemorating Kelly’s unique brand of legend. He was […]
The Cubs now look like a real Craig Counsell team: ‘He deserves every penny’
CHICAGO — Craig Counsell’s breakup with the Milwaukee Brewers is old news, except for the fans who still taunt the Chicago Cubs manager whenever his new team plays on the road at American Family Field. Even Counsell’s brother-in-law rushed through a pregame family dinner last month to make sure he got to the stadium in time to enjoy all the heckling. As the saying goes: They don’t boo nobodies.AdvertisementThat buzz around the first-place Cubs will only grow louder because this is what a Counsell-led team is supposed to look like. Alert. Athletic. Adaptable.You could see it and hear it as fans chanted “P-C-A!” and “M-V-P!” during Tuesday night’s 5-3 win over the Brewers at Wrigley Field. The crowd of 38,687 watched in astonishment as Pete Crow-Armstrong hammered Rob Zastryzny’s pitch an estimated 452 feet off the video board in right […]
