Lucas Moura deu mais um passo em direção à melhor forma física. Depois de atuar por mais ou menos 15 minutos contra o Vitória, o meia-atacante disputou cerca de meia-hora de jogo, no empate por 0 a 0 entre Atlético Nacional e São Paulo, válido pela fase oitavas de final da Copa Libertadores.
“Ainda sinto algumas dores, mas é normal para todo atleta, ainda mais depois de muito tempo parado. Normal sentir alguma coisa, futebol de alto nível é assim: exigência máxima, então normal doer um pouquinho, mas o importante é que estou conseguindo correr, estou conseguindo performar, estou conseguindo entregar o que eu quero, agora falta ritmo mesmo. Joguei um pouco mais hoje e logo estarei no 100% para poder iniciar uma partida”, iniciou.
Lucas Moura ficou meses afastado por causa de uma contusão no joelho direito. A expectativa são-paulina é pelo retorno passo a passo do atleta. “Alegria imensa estar de volta, disputar uma oitavas de final de Libertadores pelo São Paulo depois de tudo o que passei com essa lesão. A gente fala que, na vida do jogador de futebol, é sempre um sacrifício. Tem que superar dor, cansaço, muita coisa. Mas o mais importante é que estou de volta, fazendo o que amo e dando o melhor por essa camisa”, acrescentou.
Próximo jogo do São Paulo
O Tricolor agora volta as atenções para o Brasileirão Série A. Neste sábado (16), visita o Sport. O duelo está marcado para ocorrer a partir das 18h30 (horário de Brasília), no estádio Ilha do Retiro. O time nordestino é o último colocado, mas não perde há quatro jogos.
“Vamos ver o que o professor (Hernán Crespo) está planejando. A tendência é ir aumentando os minutos até poder começar como titular”, finalizou Lucas Moura.
Quando é o jogo de volta contra o Atlético Nacional?
O confronto decisivo entre São Paulo e Atlético Nacional está marcado para a próxima terça-feira (19), às 21h30, no estádio MorumBIS. O time que vencer avança para as quartas de final da Libertadores. Um novo empate leva o confronto para a disputa de pênaltis.

No. 6 Oregon saves its seat in the College Football Playoff with win at Washington
When Washington marched 69 yards in 13 plays and nearly six minutes of game time Saturday at Husky Stadium, it looked like Oregon's College Football Playoff bid was in jeopardy.The Huskies had just made it a five-point game with a bit less than nine minutes remaining in a rivalry showdown between Pac-12-turned-Big Ten foes.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn the blink of an eye, Ducks quarterback Dante Moore put questions about his team's future to bed. More specifically, three plays from scrimmage later, on a third-and-9 from the Oregon 36-yard line, Moore fired a strike over the middle to wideout Malik Benson.The senior receiver elevated and extended to make the catch. As he landed, he might as well as picked up a speed boost. He zoomed 64 yards to the end zone for a touchdown that restored a two-score lead for the Ducks (11-1, 8-1 […]
Oklahoma escapes LSU, nears likely Playoff bid as Tigers await Lane Kiffin decision
No. 8 Oklahoma likely locked up a Playoff bid by avoiding an upset against LSU on Saturday.

Oklahoma (10-2, 6-2) needed a 58-yard touchdown pass from quarterback John Mateer to wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III with just over four minutes remaining to avoid an upset that would have likely knocked the Sooners out of contention for an at-large CFP bid.

No. 8 Oklahoma all but clinches College Football Playoff berth with 17-13 win over LSU
Oklahoma is very likely heading to the College Football Playoff.The No. 8 Sooners did just enough on offense as its elite defense did what it always does in a 17-13 win over LSU on Saturday.The Tigers had fourth-and-2 at the Oklahoma 29-yard line with 1:20 to go, but OU stopped the Tigers after a play-action pass was batted down behind the line of scrimmage.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementLSU needed a TD after Oklahoma's Isaiah Sategna III was wide open for the go-ahead touchdown from 58 yards away with 5:04 to go.The Oklahoma offense scuffled for most of the game, but it got two big plays when it needed it the most. Before Sategna's touchdown, Deion Burks scored on a 45-yard catch-and-run that tied the game at 10-10.The two touchdowns papered over another offensive performance that showed why Oklahoma is not a serious threat for […]
The Saints’ new starting kicker is an Irish would-be teacher who began his American football career last year
One of the NFL's most incredible stories will culminate on Sunday when the New Orleans Saints take on the Miami Dolphins.A week after waiving starting kicker Blake Grupe, the Saints have elevated kicker Charlie Smyth from the practice squad and will have him taking kicks against Miami. This is interesting for a few reasons:AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSmyth is Irish and will be only the NFL's second player born in the country since 1985, joining Green Bay Packers punter Daniel Whelan.Smyth has never played in an American football game that has counted; his previous kicking experience is in Gaelic football.Smyth was training to be a teacher until last year, when he caught the Saints' eye after participating in the NFL’s International Player Pathway program.Charlie Smyth is about to play his first American football game.

Catch or no catch? Oregon’s Jeremiah McClellan wows with 1-handed grab pinned to helmet, but pass ruled incomplete
There were shades of David Tyree on the first play of the fourth quarter at Husky Stadium on Saturday in Seattle. Oregon wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan nearly had a helmet catch of his own.It will go down as one of the best college football catches to not count this season.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut McClellan has a great case for why it should have counted.With Washington true freshman cornerback Dylan Robinson holding McClellan's left arm, the redshirt freshman wideout used his right one to snatch a pass from Dante Moore over his shoulder.Then, as McClellan fell to the turf, he pinned the ball to his helmet. While the ball appeared to slightly move upon impact, it was unclear if the ground aided the catch.It was initially ruled an incomplete pass. Oregon challenged the ruling, but the call was upheld after review. Instead of a […]
