Desde que assumiu o comando do Fluminense, Renato Gaúcho fez questão de reforçar que o clube “entra para vencer em todas as competições”, mas também já admitiu a possibilidade de priorizar uma delas para “não perder jogador importante se a temporada apertar lá na frente”. Hoje, contra o Unión Española, às 19h (de Brasília), pela terceira rodada da Sul-Americana, será uma dessas ocasiões. Focando no clássico de sábado contra o Botafogo, pelo Brasileirão, o treinador não só poupou todos os titulares, como também sequer viajou a Santiago, capital chilena — seu auxiliar, Alexandre Mendes, comandará a equipe.
Não é a primeira vez que o tricolor coloca o torneio continental em segundo plano nesta temporada. Após a vitória fora de casa sobre o Once Caldas-COL por 1 a 0 na estreia, um time praticamente reserva goleou o GV San José-BOL por 5 a 0, o que serviu para o técnico avaliar atletas menos aproveitados e que precisavam ganhar ou recuperar a confiança para o restante do ano. Foi o caso do centroavante Everaldo, que ainda não havia correspondido às expectativas de ser a “sombra” de Cano até balançar as redes duas vezes na partida.
Contra o Unión Española, outros jogadores tentarão aproveitar a nova chance. É o caso do lateral-esquerdo Léo Jance, de 20 anos, que estreou no profissional justamente contra o San José e deixou boas impressões a ponto de ser elogiado publicamente pela comissão técnica. Com pouco prestígio com Mano Menezes, o também jovem Facundo Bernal, de 21 anos, volta a aparecer na escalação inicial após jogar os 90 minutos contra o Corinthians. Lezcano, titular pela primeira vez, e Lavega, últimos a se apresentarem na primeira janela de transferências, são outros que vivem a expectativa de ganhar mais minutos.
Sem Thiago Silva, que se recupera de uma lesão na coxa direita, e os poupados Ignácio e Freytes, a zaga do Fluminense pode ser formada pelos experientes Manoel e Thiago Santos, que estão em baixa na temporada — o ex-Grêmio, inclusive, falhou no lance que originou o gol de empate do Vitória no último domingo. Outro contestado que busca ganhar moral com a torcida é o atacante Paulo Baya, que só marcou um gol em oito jogos com a camisa tricolor.
Do outro lado, o Unión Española ocupa a 13ª colocação do Campeonato Chileno e está a apenas um ponto da zona de rebaixamento. A equipe tem oito gols marcados e 12 gols sofridos em sete partidas no torneio. Na Sul-Americana, empatou na estreia por 1 a 1 com o San José e perdeu por 2 a 0 para o Once Caldas.

Shedeur Sanders was the victim of a prank call Friday during his wait to be drafted by an NFL team.

We’re gonna take you with our next pick right here, man,” the caller said, captured on video by Well Off Media, a YouTube channel run by Deion Sanders Jr., Shedeur’s older brother.Advertisement“Yes sir, let’s be legendary,” Sanders said.“But you’re gonna have to wait a little bit longer, man.

Paul Skenes notches 9 strikeouts, leading Pirates to 3-0 win over Dodgers
Friday night's matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates featured an enticing clash between National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes and the reigning World Series champions.Would the Pirates' pitching sensation be humbled by one of the most formidable lineups in Major League Baseball? Or would one of the NL's top pitchers handcuff a Dodgers offense that hasn't yet performed to expectations?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis time around, Skenes prevailed with 6 1/3 scoreless innings in Pittsburgh's 3-0 victory. The right-hander notched nine strikeouts with no walks and five hits allowed.“I think that he’s one of the best in the game,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game. “Tonight, we really couldn’t muster much.”However, Roberts also felt that Dodgers hitters helped Skenes out by continuing a trend of chasing pitches out of their hitting zone."I think that it's hard to […]
Chelsea si poradila s Evertonem a dál drží naději na Ligu mistrů
Anglický reprezentant v brance Evertonu Pickford udržel ve své kariéře proti Chelsea sedmkrát čisté konto, tentokrát ale kapituloval po střele, kterou za hranicí šestnáctky vyslal Jackson. Pro senegalského útočníka to byl desátý ligový gól v sezoně a první od poloviny prosince. Pět minut před koncem se trefil podruhé, ale z ofsajdu. Nejlepší střelec londýnského klubu Palmer, který před rokem dal stejnému soupeři čtyři branky, se tentokrát ke střele vůbec nedostal.Trenér domácích Maresca sledoval zápas kvůli žlutým kartám jen z tribuny a s generálkou na čtvrteční semifinále Konferenční ligy ve Stockholmu mohl být spokojen. Jeho svěřenci si dál udržují šanci, že se po dvouleté přestávce vrátí do Ligy mistrů, kterou bude hrát pět zástupců kolébky fotbalu.Anglická fotbalová liga - 34. kolo:Chelsea - Everton 1:0 (27. Jackson)

Max Fried was slated to oppose Toronto's Kevin Gausman on Saturday and will pitch Sunday. The other original pitching matchup for Sunday was Clarke Schmidt against Toronto's Chris Bassitt. The Blue Jays snapped a five-game losing streak by scoring three runs in the ninth inning off struggling closer Devin […]
