Treinador abordou empate na estreia do Brasileiro ( Foto: Vitor Silva/Botafogo.)
A estreia ‘para valer’ de Renato Paiva no Botafogo talvez não fora como o treinador e o torcedor desejavam, com o empate sem gols com o Palmeiras no domingo (30), pelo Brasileirão Série A, no Allianz Parque.
‘Honrar este escudo’
Na partida, o Glorioso teve boas chances ofensivas, ficou perto de marcar gol em alguns momentos e conseguiu segurar o adversário. Na avaliação de Paiva, o resultado do jogo não foi o desejado, mas a atuação de seus comandados foi suficiente para que o time voltasse a mostrar-se como um ‘grupo de campeões e a ‘honrar seu torcedor’.
“Não estou satisfeito com o resultado, mas de fato, tenho certeza de que volta a se confirmar que é um grupo de campeões. Em vários momentos, houve demonstrações de talento. Não só talento técnico, mas tático. Também o de honrar este escudo. Foi assim que eles ganharam os títulos e assim que irão continuar ganhando. Voltou o Botafogo que honra sua torcida”, disse Renato Paiva.
Próximas partidas
Com tempo para treinar desde que assumiu o comando botafoguense, o treinador agora terá que se preparar para uma ‘maratona’, já que nesta quarta-feira (2), o Botafogo fará sua estreia na Libertadores diante da Universidad de Chile. E o desejo de Paiva é que o time mantenha o foco para poder manter o ritmo e conquistar as vitórias necessárias;
“É a única leveza que eu quero. Quero ver meus jogadores felizes, orgulhosos e jogando com prazer. Daí para frente, não haverá leveza alguma. Se tivermos que ganhar cinco Libertadores seguidas, vamos conquistar cinco Libertadores seguidas, Jogo após jogo. O próximo é a Libertadores? É para ganhar. Depois, o Brasileiro? É para ganhar. Aqui, sempre foi assim e eu sou assim também. Leveza? Eu quero vencer. Muitas das vezes, é fácil vencer, manter que é difícil”, declarou.

Alejandro Kirk comes through for Blue Jays: ‘I needed it, the team needed it’
Editor’s note: We’re thrilled to introduce Mitch Bannon as our Blue Jays beat writer. A native of Toronto, he previously covered the team for SI.com. This is his first story for The Athletic.NEW YORK — Opportunity hasn’t been Alejandro Kirk’s problem. The Blue Jays’ catcher has walked to the plate 27 times this season with a runner in scoring position, constantly a swing away from igniting an offense that badly needs a spark.AdvertisementTaking advantage of those chances has been the hard part. A month after signing a five-year, $58 million extension, Kirk entered Friday with just five RBI in the exact situations built for cashing in runs, with a man on second or third. He’d hit just .217 with runners in scoring position this year with a .544 OPS. On Friday, opportunity finally met execution.With a ninth-inning swing, Kirk came […]
2025 NFL Draft picks by college team, school: SEC, Big Ten separate from pack as Ohio State leads the way
Getty Images The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft was dominated by power conference schools, as the SEC and Big Ten were ubiquitous during Thursday night's action with 26 of the first 32 picks coming from the two most powerful conferences in the sport. That trend continued on Friday night during Day 2, as 21 more players from the SEC and Big Ten heard their names called in the 32 second-round picks. While not a surprise, it's a reminder of the direction college football is trending, as the transfer portal and the opportunity to cash in on NIL deals has made it far less likely that an NFL talent will make it through their junior year at a smaller program. In total, 66 of the 102 players selected in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft finished their collegiate careers […]
NFL Draft 2025: Here’s how much money Shedeur Sanders missed out on by not being drafted in first three rounds
Getty Images The story of the 2025 NFL Draft has to do with a player who hasn't even heard his name called yet. Former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, was expected to be a first-round pick, but instead went unselected in the first three rounds of the draft.The Pittsburgh Steelers passed on him multiple times, while the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns all selected different quarterbacks. Every player will be given the opportunity to compete whether they are a first-round pick or seventh-round pick, but their paychecks will be very different. For example, No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward is expected to sign a deal projected to be worth $48,757,500, according to Spotrac, while Tyler Shough, who was drafted 40th […]

Getty Images Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft concluded on Friday night with Colorado's Shedeur Sanders still not selected.It was slightly surprising to see Sanders not drafted on Thursday as just two quarterbacks (Ward and Jaxson Dart) were taken in the first round. However, Day 2 brought three more quarterbacks selected: Louisville's Tyler Shough went to the Saints at No. 40 in Round 2, Alabama's Jalen Milroe was selected by the Seahawks with the 92nd pick (Round 3), and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel was taken by the Browns with the 94th pick (Round 3).Want to know what I thought of every pick made in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft?

Luke Keaschall injury: Twins’ hot-hitting rookie suffers broken forearm
Matt Krohn Minnesota Twins promising rookie infielder/outfielder Luke Keaschall suffered a nondisplaced fracture in his right forearm on Friday, the club told reporters following the Twins' 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Keaschall suffered the injury when he was struck by a pitch from Kyle Hendricks in the first inning. Keaschall, in the lineup at DH, was able to run the bases after being hit on the arm, but he was pinch-hit for when his spot came up again in the bottom of the third. According to Twins dugout reporter Audra Martin, the club does not have a timetable for Keaschall's return. That the fracture is nondisplaced is a positive, but it still figures to be a lengthy absence for the 22-year-old. According to the Baseball Prospectus injury database, recovery time for forearm fractures tends to range from a bit […]
