Cicinho é comentarista esportivo (Reprodução/SBT)
Cicinho fez questão de exaltar o profissionalismo da diretoria do Bahia pelo excelente momento do time na temporada. Campeão baiano e bem na fase de grupos da Libertadores, o ex-lateral deu méritos ao clube que optou pela manutenção de Rogério Ceni, mesmo bastante pressionado no ano passado.
No meio da semana, o Tricolor conquistou um resultado maiúsculo diante do Nacional-URU, em Montevidéu, pela segunda rodada da Libertadores. Com gol de Erick Pulga, o time baiano venceu a primeira.
“Mérito da diretoria do Bahia que sustentou o Rogério Ceni mesmo naquela pressão. Méritos do Rogério e da equipe que entendeu aquilo que ele pede. Eu vi o jogo do Bahia e foi espetacular, mesmo com as mudanças, o nível técnico foi mantido. O Ceni entende de Libertadores e vai complicar neste grupo”, disse Cicinho.
Principal válvula de escape do Tricolor, Erick Pulga marcou um golaço para decidir o duelo e chegou ao sexto gol na temporada. O resultado deixa o Bahia em segundo lugar no Grupo F com quatro pontos, atrás do Internacional, que é líder pelo saldo.
No dia 24, o Esquadrão enfrenta o Atlético Nacional, às 21h30 (de Brasília), na Arena Fonte Nova.
Citado por Cicinho, Ceni festeja resultado
Rogério Ceni comemorou a primeira vitória do Bahia como visitante na Libertadores. O ex-goleiro festejou o resultado diante de um rival de hierarquia.
“Não ganhamos de uma equipe qualquer, ganhamos de uma equipe de muita tradição. Não é fácil para ninguém vencer aqui. Um triunfo importante para o Bahia, para quem torce para o Bahia e nos apoia”, destacou.
Bahia vira a chave
De volta ao Campeonato Brasileiro, o Bahia se prepara para o confronto diante do Mirassol, domingo, às 16h (de Brasília), na Fonte Nova, em Salvador. O time baiano é o 13º colocado com dois pontos somados.

College football spring transfer portal window recap: Tennessee drama, QBs on the move
College football’s spring transfer portal window officially closed Friday, but not without a flurry of activity leading into, during and at the end of the window. There was high drama at Tennessee, which led to what amounted to a quarterback trade, impact players making moves and hundreds of players entering the portal in hopes of finding a new home.AdvertisementLet’s recap some of the notable storylines from a busy April.Quarterback carouselThe Nico Iamaleava saga consumed plenty of oxygen because of the unprecedented nature of his brief holdout amid a contract dispute.

Behind the Tigers’ strong start is Gleyber Torres’ subtle leadership
DETROIT — A couple of hours before every game, the Detroit Tigers hold a hitters meeting. Coaches go over notes on the opposing pitcher. Hitters refine their plans of attack.

He has been through the battles, played in All-Star games and the World Series. He has been under an intense spotlight since he was 21.The former New York Yankee knows what it is like to be both a darling in the Bronx and a target of scorn.

New York Jets early 53-man roster projection, post-NFL Draft
The two major tentpoles of the NFL offseason — free agency and the NFL Draft — are over. Unless general manager Darren Mougey has some surprise moves up his sleeves, the current iteration of the Jets’ roster will mostly be what it looks like when training camp opens in late-July.There are a lot of new faces — more than anything, this has been a youth movement. Both Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn said that was intentional: Out with the old, in with the new. On paper, this doesn’t look like a team that most will predict to win the division or go on a run in the playoffs, but there is potential for the Jets to perform above expectations if certain players (particularly at quarterback) take a step forward, or if certain rookies can make an immediate, positive impact.AdvertisementLet’s […]
How the Packers’ draft affects Jaire Alexander’s future and more takeaways
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Days before the 2025 NFL Draft, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst was asked about cornerback Jaire Alexander’s future. The team has been open to trading one of its best players of the last decade, presumably because of his price tag and lack of availability in recent years, but Gutekunst had left the door open for Alexander to stay.AdvertisementAs part of his answer, Gutekunst said, “We’ll see how the draft goes and then see where we are at that point.”The draft came and went with the Packers taking one cornerback. Not in the first round to potentially replace Alexander as Green Bay’s No. 1 cornerback of the future, but with pick No. 237 in the seventh round. If Gutekunst thought Alexander’s future would be influenced by who the Packers drafted at the position, Tulane cornerback Micah Robinson […]
C. Notes: Scooter Gennett welcomes Eugenio Suárez to 4-homer club
Scooter Gennett was asleep Saturday night when a buddy called. Gennett didn’t understand why his friend would be calling, so he went back to sleep.When you have a newborn like Gennett and his wife, Kelsey, sleep is paramount.But sometime around 10:40 p.m. at his home in Parrish, Fla., the texts started coming in.Advertisement“GENO!” the first text read.At that point, Gennett knew what had happened. His former teammate had joined Gennett and 17 others in one of the game’s most exclusive clubs: hitting four home runs in one game.“I went to bed with a smile,” Gennett said. “It might have been the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a while.”Sunday, 12 hours after Suárez’s four-homer game and nearly eight years from when Gennett achieved the feat, it was still hard for Gennett to believe anyone can hit four homers in a […]
How Tom Wilson, wrecking ball, single-handedly decided Capitals-Canadiens Game 4
MONTREAL — Nothing changes a hockey game quite like a big hit. Nobody can change a hockey game quite like Tom Wilson.Those are things we’ve heard so much — the first bit for a century and a half, the second for 12 years — that they’ve become cliches.Big hits, no matter how many times you hear it from players, don’t typically create outcomes. Wilson, no matter how many times you hear it from the rest of the Washington Capitals, isn’t always the most impactful player on the ice.AdvertisementCliches, though, exist for a reason, and Sunday night at the Bell Centre, we saw proof.Wilson, one-of-one league-wide for his ability to mix brute force and high-end skill, single-handedly changed the result of a playoff game. There was everything that came before his open-ice demolition of Canadiens defenseman Alex Carrier, and there was […]
