O Cruzeiro está praticamente eliminado já na fase de grupos da Copa Sul-Americana. Nesta quinta-feira (dia 24 de abril), o time mineiro foi derrotado pelo Palestino por 2 a 1, no estádio Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso. Com o resultado, a equipe treinada por Leonardo Jardim continua zerada no torneio internacional.
“Todos nós temos que colocar a mão na consciência e saber que o Cruzeiro tem que jogar em outro nível. Porque o Cruzeiro é um clube com uma história e tem uma torcida que merece isso”, declarou.
Cristian Suárez inaugurou o placar a favor do Palestino, aos 40 minutos do primeiro tempo. Carlos Eduardo empatou aos 38 da etapa final, mas Junior Arias garantiu a vitória do time mandante, aos 41.
Cássio também foi um dos protagonistas do confronto. O goleiro falhou em um dos gols da equipe da casa. Leonardo Jardim defendeu o atleta.
“Eu normalmente falo que, no futebol, quando um (jogador) falha, todos falham. Quando perde um, perde todos”, declarou.
“Quando ganhamos, todos ganhamos. Não quero ficar individualizando aqui. Com certeza que não podemos assumir a derrota só por um jogador”, prosseguiu Leonardo Jardim.
De acordo com o treinador, o Cruzeiro poderia ter feito mais gols. “Tivemos várias situações ofensivas. Tivemos falta de capacidade de duelo. Sabíamos da agressividade do outro time e não o fizemos”, concluiu.
Próximo jogo do Cruzeiro, de Leonardo Jardim
O Cabuloso agora volta as atenções para o cenário nacional. Neste domingo (27), enfrenta o Vasco da Gama, a partir das 18h30 (horário de Brasília), no estádio Parque do Sabiá, em Uberlândia. O duelo é válido pela rodada 6 do Brasileirão Série A.
Este é o primeiro de uma sequência de três jogos que o Cruzeiro tem como mandante. Após enfrentar o Vasco, o time mineiro recebe o Vila Nova, no dia 1 de maio, às 21h30, em duelo válido pela Copa do Brasil.
E termina a sequência encarando o Flamengo, no dia 4 de maio, às 18h30, por mais uma rodada de Brasileirão Série A.

Shedeur Sanders selected by Browns in NFL Draft: ‘Thankful for the opportunity for people to actually see the real me’
Shedeur Sanders finally found an NFL home.After a winding evaluation process that cast him as one of the NFL draft’s biggest mysteries — and following a huge slide that saw him bypassed by multiple QB-needy franchises — the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback was chosen in Saturday’s fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. Taken No. 144 overall, the pick comes following a draft slide that stunned even some of his most critical talent evaluators in the league.Sanders jumped into a pool with his socks on in celebration:"We live by our board," Browns general manager Andrew Berry told the media after the pick. "We felt like he was a good, solid prospect at the most important position. We felt it got to a point where he was probably mispriced relative to the draft. Really the acquisition cost was pretty light and it's a […]
Terence Crawford criticizes Mike Tyson’s performance against Jake Paul
Undefeated boxing champion Terence Crawford has voiced strong disapproval regarding Mike Tyson's recent exhibition bout against social media personality-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Speaking on the Club Shay Shay podcast hosted by Shannon Sharpe, Crawford made it clear that, while he respects Tyson's legacy, the fight did not reflect well on the sport or the former heavyweight champion.Shannon Sharpe almost eats a right hand from boxing champ Terence Crawford"I love Tyson," Crawford said. "Tyson shouldn't have been out there. At all." He elaborated that the match lacked competitive integrity and leaned heavily toward spectacle over substance. The fight, which drew massive attention globally, pitted the 58-year-old Tyson against the 27-year-old Paul-an age gap that was not lost on fans or experts.Crawford also took to social media following the bout, bluntly stating, "That s*** was trash," and highlighting the wide gap in punch […]

Steelers draft Ohio State QB Will Howard: How he fits, pick grade and scouting intel
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Ohio State quarterback Will Howard with the No. 185 pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-4 signal-caller joins a room that currently includes only veterans Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson.Howard led the Buckeyes to the College Football Playoff national championship in January, where he was the game’s offensive MVP. In his team’s 34-23 win against Notre Dame, Howard set championship game records for most consecutive completions (13) and passer rating (204.8).AdvertisementThe 23-year-old Howard spent his first four college seasons at Kansas State.

2025 NFL Draft: Cowboys draft Texas’ Jaydon Blue in fifth round; RB compares himself to Jahmyr Gibbs
Imagn Images FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys addressed their running back room in free agency with a couple of vets on one-year deals in Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders.With their first pick on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, Dallas selected a young back who will be around for a while in Texas Longhorns rusher Jaydon Blue. He's an adept receiver out of the backfield on a variety of routes, and his six receiving touchdowns in 2024 co-led the nation among running backs. Blue is undersized as far as NFL running backs go, standing at 5-foot-9 and weighing 196 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine. He does possess the potential to take the ball to the house on any touch thanks to his electrifying speed (4.38-second 40-yard dash, second-fastest among running backs at the combine), provided he hangs […]
Browns pick Shedeur Sanders as part of this bizarre draft strategy the NFL has never seen before
Getty Images The free fall of Shedeur Sanders finally came to an end on Saturday when the Cleveland Browns selected the Colorado quarterback during the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Although Sanders took an unexpected draft tumble, it might actually end up working out for him and that's because he could have a realistic chance to win the Browns starting quarterback job. Sanders will be joining a quarterback room that includes Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Deshaun Watson, along with Dillon Gabriel, whom the Browns selected in the third round. Yup, that's right: The Browns have already taken two quarterbacks and they did it before the fifth round even ended. Gabriel was the fifth quarterback taken and Sanders was the sixth quarterback taken, which set up the rare situation where one team took consecutive quarterbacks in the draft. The last […]
