Abel Ferreira, técnico do Palmeiras (Reprodução/SporTV)
Os torcedores do Palmeiras e a mídia esportiva nacional estão na expectativa pela participação da equipe na Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa. Mesmo com as derrotas para Flamengo e Cruzeiro nas últimas rodadas do Brasileirão Série A, Cicinho acredita que o Verdão poderá fazer bonito no Mundial que começará no próximo dia 14.
Na edição de hoje (3) do “Jogo Aberto” na Band, o comentarista surpreendeu ao mostrar convicção de que o time palmeirense comandado por Abel Ferreira terá condições de fazer frente com as grandes equipes do planeta, aprovando o planejamento realizado no primeiro semestre. “Palmeiras fez seis meses de pré-temporada, porque Campeonato Paulista foi para participar, o Abel deixou claro isso. E pegou a sequência do Campeonato Brasileiro e Libertadores assim, nessa crescente”, avaliou Cicinho.
Cicinho descarta título mundial do Palmeiras
Apesar disso, o ex-lateral não vê o Palmeiras de Abel Ferreira com condições de erguer a cobiçada taça do Mundial. “O Palmeiras chega muito bem preparado, a gente brinca. Mas o Palmeiras vai jogar de igual pra igual com esses times. Vai perder. O Palmeiras pode chegar muito bem lá, ganhar do Porto e perder pro Al-Ahly. Mas o Palmeiras tá forte e bem preparado”, pontuou.
Mesmo assim, questionou com irreverência uma fala do ex-zagueiro Edu Dracena exaltando a grandeza do Verdão na Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa. “Que grandeza? Qual que é a grandeza do Palmeiras no Mundial? O Palmeiras é grande aqui. Lá com Inter Miami, Ah Ahly, Al Hilal e Porto…”, zoou Cicinho. “A gente tá acostumado a jogar Mundial, já fomos lá duas vezes”, rebateu Dracena, mostrando convicção de que o Palmeiras irá passar da primeira fase. “Vamos buscar ir mais longe possível”, completou o ex-zagueiro.
Os jogos do Palmeiras na primeira fase da Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa
O Palmeiras integra o Grupo A ao lado de Porto, Al-Ahly e Inter Miami. Os dois últimos farão o jogo de abertura da Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa, em 14 de junho às 21h. A estreia alviverde acontecerá no dia seguinte, diante do Porto em Nova Jersey, às 19h. Na sequência, o Verdão enfrentará o Ah-Ahly no dia 19 às 13h e o Inter Miami em 23 de junho às 22h. Os horários são de Brasília.

Phil Mickelson says that there’s a ‘high likelihood’ that the 2025 U.S. Open will be his last at the major
In June 1994, Arnold Palmer capped off his illustrious U.S. Open career at Oakmont Country Club. Now, a little over three decades later, another golfing great could follow in Palmer's footsteps. Phil Mickleson, a six-time major winner, was recently asked about the likelihood that this year's U.S. Open -- which will again be played at Oakmont -- will be his last. "I haven't thought about it too much," Mickelson told reporters ahead of the LIV Golf event in Virginia this week.. "There's a high likelihood that it will be, but I haven't really thought about it too much."Mickelson, 54, was granted a five-year exemption into the U.S. Open after winning the 2021 PGA Championship, where he became the oldest major winner in history at age 50. This is the final year of his exemption. Without an exemption, Mickelson would have to go […]
Predicting next NFL wide receivers to get paid: Terry McLaurin, Drake London likely candidates for extension
The NFL offseason is a time of change. Players change teams. Teams change coaches, front offices, game-day schemes and so on.Yet the offseason can also be a time of commitment. Players and coaches and executives get new opportunities, some of them quite lucrative. And sometimes, teams commit to players already on the roster, deciding they want to keep them around long term.We saw an example of that Thursday when the Baltimore Ravens extended former first-round wide receiver Rashod Bateman. By the end of the offseason, we could see several more examples of wideouts getting locked up. With the Bateman deal in mind, we wanted to take a look at the wide receiver market in particular, and which player could be next to land a new contract.Because of their contract situations and the fact they have recently become extension-eligible, the most […]
White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf reaches ‘long-term’ agreement that could see Justin Ishbia own team by 2029
Imagn Images The Chicago White Sox are headed toward new ownership, but the transition will take several years before the controlling partner moves from Jerry Reinsdorf to Justin Ishbia. The White Sox announced Thursday that Reinsdorf and Ishbia "have reached a long-term investment agreement that establishes a framework" for Ishbia to move toward a future controlling interest in the ballclub. From the press release: The agreement provides that, from 2029–2033, Reinsdorf will have the option to sell the controlling interest to Ishbia. After the 2034 season, Ishbia will have the option to acquire the controlling interest. In the event of any such future transaction, all limited partners of the Sox would have the opportunity to sell to Ishbia at that time. In addition to Justin Ishbia, his brother Mat Ishbia, and father Jeff Ishbia will also be significant investors. There is no […]
Anthony Richardson injury: Colts QB (shoulder) won’t participate in minicamp, no timetable for return
Getty Images When the Indianapolis Colts begin their mandatory minicamp next week, they will do so without starting quarterback Anthony Richardson. The team has announced Richardson won't participate in minicamp as he is dealing with a shoulder injury. While he didn't provide a timetable for his return, Colts coach Shane Steichen said he hopes that Richardson can come back "at some point" during training camp. With Richardson out, former Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones is in line to receive the Colts' first-team reps during minicamp. Jones, who signed a one-year, $14 million deal with the Colts this offseason, finished the 2024 season with the Vikings after New York granted his request to be released. In Indianapolis, Jones is essentially replacing Joe Flacco, who previously served as Richardson's backup. Given Richardson's injury history, it's necessary the Colts have a proven veteran who can step […]
Ranking Big East basketball teams by tiers: Can anyone catch UConn and St. John’s in 2025-26 season?
One notable takeaway in the Big East is how UConn, St. John's and to a lesser extent, Creighton, are monopolizing the talent-acquisition game. UConn was the only team to land a top-40 freshman from the Class of 2025. The Huskies, Red Storm and Bluejays were the only Big East teams to land a top 50-rated transfer in the 2025 cycle. Of course, transfer rankings are inherently flawed because fit matters so much, but it's a slightly concerning development. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the chasm between the top and the bottom that is starting to develop in a basketball-crazed league. With rosters starting to finalize, we can start to get a better idea of the pecking order developing in the 2025-26 Big East. Tiers provide a preferable way of contextualizing the outlook. Tier 1 - Title contenders: […]
Como fica a escalação do Grêmio de Mano Menezes após a chegada de Alex Santana, do Corinthians
Mano Menezes cumprimenta Dodi, observados por Villasanti (LUCAS UEBEL/GREMIO FBPA) Alex Santana já está em Porto Alegre e deverá ser oficializado pelo Grêmio ainda nesta quinta-feira (5). O volante de 30 anos chega do Corinthians por empréstimo como uma indicação de Luiz Felipe Scolari, com quem trabalhou na campanha do vice da Libertadores em 2022. O atleta irá buscar a titularidade do time de Mano Menezes depois da parada para a Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa. Mesmo que reúna condições de jogo, Alex Santana ainda não poderá realizar a sua estreia na próxima rodada do Brasileirão Série A. O motivo é que o adversário gremista será o próprio Corinthians na Arena do Grêmio em 12 de junho, e o meio-campista não poderá enfrentar o Timão pelo acordo dos clubes.
