Craque Neto elege dois goleiros que merecem vaga na seleção brasileira de Ancelotti: “Arrebentando”
Craque Neto na apresentação do Apito Final (Reprodução - YouTube) Craque Neto vê Hugo Souza, do Corinthians, e Everson, do Atlético-MG, com nível para atuar na seleção. Reagindo à defesa monumental do camisa 1, em chute de Rony, o ex-jogador aproveitou o gancho para também enaltecer o titular do Galo.

Sabalenka makes flying start on Nadal tribute day at French Open
World No 1 Aryna Sabalenka began her quest for a maiden Grand Slam title at the French Open by taking exactly one hour to dispatch Kamilla Rakhimova 6-1 6-0.The Panama hats and sunglasses were stowed away and replaced by jackets and umbrellas, with short spells of rain around Roland Garros on a soggy Sunday, as Sabalenka made it safely through after opening proceedings on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The Belarusian has vowed to watch what she eats at the home of haute cuisine this year as she bids to add a maiden title in Paris to her US and Australian Open titles after being doubled over with stomach trouble as she fell to defeat to teenager Mirra Andreeva in the last eight in 2024.

Priske do Rangers? Bývalý kouč Sparty jednal se skotským gigantem
„Priske měl schůzku s vedením Rangers, které hledá trvalou náhradu za Philippea Clementa, který byl v únoru odvolán,“ cituje BBC svůj zdroj z Ibroxu. Stejně jako Clement, i Priske byl v únoru propuštěn. Šéfové Feyenoordu, kam přišel v létě z Letné, nebyli spokojeni s tím, jak si tým vedl v nizozemské lize. Teď by mohl Priske zakotvit v Rangers, kde skončil prozatímní trenér Barry Ferguson. Slavný klub z Glasgow, kde v uplynulé sezoně úspěšně hostoval z Wolfsburgu český záložník Václav Černý (v rámci všech soutěží vstřelil 18 gólů), chce být mnohem větším konkurentem pro úhlavního rivala – Celtic. Ve skotské lize za ním zaostal o propastných 17 bodů.Nicméně Priske není jediným kandidátem na místo hlavního trenéra Rangers. Ve skotských médiích se mluví a píše o Davidem Ancelottim. Syn slavného kouče Carla Ancelottiho vykonává pozici asistenta brazilské reprezentace, kterou po konci v Realu Madrid převezme jeho otec. Davide s ním ale trenérský tandem údajně nevytvoří, má se vydat na samostatnou dráhu.Spekuluje se […]
