Apesar de ter vencido o Bahia por 3 a 2, neste sábado, o Flamengo sofreu uma pressão no fim do jogo mesmo com dois jogadores a mais em campo. Em entrevistacoletiva, o técnico Jorge Sampaoli ressaltou que faltou maturidade ao time para controlar a bola na frente, ampliar o marcador e não passar sufoco fora de casa.

– O time precisava de mais maturidade para controlar o ataque. O time rival tinha muita energia e nos levava para a nossa área. Por não haver controle, não conseguimos fazer a diferença para um resultado mais largo – disse.
– Uma partida muito frenética, muito acelerada. O time sentiu o ritmo no primeiro tempo. Conseguiu uma diferença clara, também no segundo tempo. Mas não conseguiu jogar muito tempo com a bola, o que gerou ataques dos dois lados. É um processo – acrescentou.

Na volta do intervalo, o argentino teve uma atitude inusitada ao fazer cinco substituições de uma vez. Ao ser questionadosobre o assunto, o comandante falou que todas as trocas foram por lesão.

Relinquishing the T20 World Cup has done nothing to weaken Australia’s standing in world cricket, according to Danni Wyatt-Hodge, the England batter who knows them best.She is set to contest her eighth Women’s Ashes series, and believes Australia’s batting depth, ruthlessness and home conditions will make them as dangerous as ever in the 2025 edition, which gets underway in Sydney this weekend.Since last year’s failure to reach the final of the T20 World Cup for the first time since 2009, Australia have won all five of their completed matches during the home summer so far – all ODIs – defeating India 3-0 and New Zealand 2-0. During that time, they unearthed the outstanding talent of 21-year-old opening batter Georgia Voll, who averages 86.50 and scores at a strike rate of 108.80, including a century in just her second international match, against India in December.The extent of Voll’s role in the Ashes remains to be seen after captain Alyssa Healy’s return from injury for the rain-affected tour of New Zealand in a batting-only capacity, with Beth Mooney keeping wicket. But Voll was drafted into the Ashes white-ball squads to replace injured allrounder Sophie Molineux after proving herself to be an excellent option for the hosts and a shining example of their still enviable depth, which also includes the more firmly established 21-year-old opener Phoebe Litchfield and 23-year-old allrounder Annabel Sutherland.So Wyatt-Hodge isn’t buying into any suggestion that Australia’s shock World Cup exit leaves them as a diminished side.Danni Wyatt-Hodge comes into the women’s Ashes after a strong finish to 2024 in South Africa•ICC/Getty Images
“No, not at all, they’re a quality squad,” Wyatt-Hodge said in Australia on Monday. “Anyone in their squad that comes in performs. Look at Georgia Voll, she’s had an outstanding start to her ODI career. Anyone in their line-up is capable of match-winning performances. So it’s going to be a massive challenge for us, but one that we really can’t wait for, and especially playing them in their conditions as well adds another challenge.”England proved that they could compete hard with Australia by winning both white-ball legs of the home series in 2023 after losing the Test, which meant points finished level on eight-all and Australia retained the trophy. During that series, Wyatt-Hodge was the second-highest run-scorer in the T20Is, trailing Mooney by just six runs.”We’re going to take confidence from what happened,” Wyatt-Hodge said. “But we’re starting a new Ashes, obviously it’s in their conditions as well. We all know how good the Aussies are, they’re a real quality team, full of world-class players, but we’re really looking forward to the big challenge ahead.”They bat so deep, don’t they, the Aussies? Anyone that comes in is capable of getting some valuable runs for their team. They’re just so ruthless, they just fight and fight till the end, and they are a very hard team to beat.”England went some way to overcoming their own World Cup disappointment when, having been knocked out in the group stages with an uncomposed performance against West Indies in October, they finished 2024 with a successful tour of South Africa. There, they comprehensively won the Test, swept the T20Is 3-0 and dropped just one of their three ODIs. Wyatt was the leading run-scorer in the T20Is and second on England’s batting charts for the tour overall.England won both white-ball legs in 2023 but Australia won the one-off Test and retained the Ashes level on points•Getty Images
On tight schedule: ‘We can’t moan about it’
The 2025 Ashes kicks off with three ODIs from January 12, followed by three T20Is, and then a four-day pink-ball Test at the MCG, which is due to finish on February 2.The schedule of seven matches – potentially 10 days’ play – in the space of 22 days with plenty of travel in between has come under criticism from Jon Lewis, the England head coach, who would have preferred more time to prepare, particularly for the Test. The only warm-up fixture, however, will be a 50-over match on January 9 between England and a Governor General’s XI, where Healy hopes to test recovery on her knee while taking the gloves.”We can’t moan about it, just got to embrace it and make sure that we are prioritising our rest and once we’re on it, we’re on it,” Wyatt-Hodge said of the tight schedule. “We always speak about wanting to be calm and relaxed, but everyone’s different. Someone might need to be the opposite, so it’s going to be a matter of what works for you at the end of the day.”But there’s a lot of hype around the Ashes and the first game. There’ll be a few nerves around, but I think it’s just going to be a matter of who stays calmest for sure and then get your head down. I definitely play a lot better when I’m feeling chilled and calm and relaxed. Obviously I get nervous and there’s a few nerves around, but yeah, definitely whoever stays the calmest will benefit more.”
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers recently revealed that the Scottish Premiership champions need to add more goals to their team during the summer transfer window.
When asked about what the Hoops need to do before the start of September, the manager said: “I think it’s bringing goals to the squad. Especially when you score four goals, it seems like you’re okay. But we lost an important player in Kyogo [Furuhashi] in January. He brought us a lot of goals. We lost Nicolas Kuhn. He brought us a lot of goals. Matt O’Riley even last summer.
Celtic'sKyogoFuruhashi celebrates with the trophy after winning the League Cup
Ligue 1 side Rennes swooped in to sign Kyogo Furuhashi from the Scottish giants for a reported fee of £10m in January, ending a goal-laden time for the striker at Parkhead.
Celtic hit the jackpot with Kyogo Furuhashi
Ange Postecoglou signed the centre-forward from Vissel Kobe in the summer of 2021, and it is safe to say that it was an incredibly successful move for all parties involved.
Kyogo ended his Celtic career with a return of 85 goals and 15 assists in 165 appearances in all competitions for the Scottish giants, which shows that he was prolific throughout his time at the club.
His best season at Parkhead, by far, was when he plundered 34 goals in the 2022/23 campaign for Postecoglou, though, as the Japan international was a goal machine that year.
Whilst it is unrealistic to expect Celtic to find a new forward who can score 34 goals in one season, Rodgers could finally replace Kyogo by signing Federico Chiesa on loan from Liverpool, as the club are reportedly one of the teams chasing a loan deal for the attacker.
Why Celtic should sign Federico Chiesa
If the Hoops can convince the Italy international to make the move to Parkhead on loan, the £150k-per-week star could be a high-quality addition to the squad.
Liverpool's FedericoChiesaand Alexis Mac Allister
Chiesa primarily plays as a winger but he has also started 87 career club games as a second striker or as a centre-forward, which suggests that he could play through the middle for Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
The Italian forward has scored 66 goals for Juventus and Fiorentina, whilst he has also scored seven goals for his country. This speaks to his pedigree and shows the kind of quality that the Hoops would be bringing in.
Chiesa only played 14 times, scoring twice, in all competitions for Liverpool last season, but his form in the 2023/24 campaign for Juventus shows that he has the quality to be a fantastic signing for Celtic.

As you can see in the table above, the Italian forward, who can play wide or centrally, provided a big threat as both a scorer and a creator of goals in one of Europe’s major leagues.
The 27-year-old star, who was once dubbed “unplayable” by reporter Carlo Garganese, was also incredibly efficient in front of goal, overperforming his xG by almost three goals.
Whereas, Kyogo only scored 10 goals from 14.14 xG in the first half of last season’s Premiership campaign. Chiesa, based on his form for Juventus, could be far more efficient with the chances that come his way if Rodgers provided him with an opportunity to play regularly.
The Italian dynamo is a clinical finisher and creative force who can offer quality out wide or through the middle as a dynamic forward option, who is already proven at a higher level of football than the Premiership.

Therefore, Celtic should be pushing to win the race for Chiesa’s services as he is a clinical forward who could provide a cutting edge to the team’s attack as a Kyogo replacement this summer.
After throwing away victory against Arsenal left Manchester City ninth in the Premier League table with seven points from five games, Pep Guardiola defended his team's poor early season form. But the Spaniard's claims that his players are already "incredibly tired" did not sit well with ex-Manchester United captain Roy Keane.
Guardiola blames fatigue for dropped points
Gabriel Martinelli's stoppage time equaliser for Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium saw three points become one for Manchester City, extending a run that has seen the eight-time Premier League champions since 2011 alone take only four points from the last 12 on offer. Guardiola immediately reasoned that, after the Thursday scheduling of a Champions League clash with Napoli, fatigue and injuries are already taking hold of his squad.
"We were incredibly tired," he said. "The game against Napoli was so emotional and after that recovery day we have four or five hours to travel to London. Arsenal fought in the last two Premier League title races and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League so it's so difficult. We had a lot of fatigue with many players. We also have a lot of injuries."

Are Man City's 'tired' complaints justified?
The trip to north London was only City's sixth game of the season. And while it's worth remembering that they were in action at the FIFA Club World Cup up until the end of June, Chelsea went further in the same competition and haven't had the same issues so far in 2025-26. Four players missed out against Arsenal because of injury, the same number that were absent from the Gunners squad. The Arsenal game saw City unusually record just 32.8% possession, the lowest of any Guardiola team in a top flight match – he'd led teams into 600 others before Sunday's clash. That lack of the ball arguably invited pressure, eventually leading to the late equaliser.
Keane pokes holes in Guardiola's defence
In his role as a pundit for , Roy Keane didn't accept Guardiola's argument.
"Pep Guardiola is on about the fatigue and the challenge to win league titles, but that is part of the challenge," the seven-time Premier League winner commented. "Im suprisied Pep [is talking about fatigue] is talking about fatigue and schedules in September, and after two home matches. They were fairly comfortable against Manchester United and Napoli had a man sent off after 20 minutes, and it's not like they have travelled from Russia or Poland after a tough away game. I didn't like that angle Pep was coming from."

Four games in 12 days to come
City are quickly back in action in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday night, travelling into Yorkshire to face Huddersfield Town. The likelihood is that will see Guardiola heavily rotate his team, as it marks the start of a run of four games across three competitions, spanning only 12 days until the October international break. After Huddersfield, City are up against Burnley and Brentford in the Premeir League, either side of a Champions League trip to Monaco. They should be favourites to win all four games, regardless of scheduling.
Manchester United played out a 2-2 draw with Everton in Atlanta, Georgia, at the weekend, as Ruben Amorim’s side won the Premier League Summer Series over in the United States.
Football is encapsulated by peaks and troughs, and so too was this closing pre-season fixture over the pond defined by some good and some bad for the Red Devils, who are desperate to find themselves once again after finishing 15th in last season’s Premier League and losing the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur.
Change was always going to be necessary, and INEOS have indeed acted with intent to reshape the frontline, signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo from divisional rivals.
However, more is still needed. United require another central midfielder, and remain interested in replacing Andre Onana between the sticks.
But there’s no question that the most pressing, and most prominent, concern remains finding a new out-and-out central striker.
Man Utd's attacking transfer plans
Rasmus Hojlund, 22, has been vocal in his desire to stay at Manchester United next season and fight for his place at number nine, but the rumour mill suggests technical director Jason Wilcox has transfer-listed him for £30m.
The Danish striker flattered to deceive last season. Sure, he was let down by a dearth of creativity behind him, but lacked control and confidence, and scored only four times across 32 appearances in the Premier League.
And Amorim is focused on signing an upgrade, and the chosen target is RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, who has emerged at the centre of the transfer tussle also involving Newcastle United.
Benjamin Sesko
The Magpies made a £70m bid on Saturday, which was rejected. Man United haven’t, although INEOS know they can sign the Slovenian without having to sell first (whereas Newcastle must first cash in the Alexander Isak cheque).
But could the Old Trafford side yet have an even bigger deal in the pipeline?
Man Utd lining up British-record bid
According to Spanish sources, Manchester United are ready to shatter the transfer market by launching a bid for Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.
Real Madrid'sViniciusJunior
The 24-year-old is one of the best players in the world, and no mistake. However, he has been the subject of persistent transfer speculation concerning the Saudi Pro League in recent years, owing largely to a new Los Blancos contract that remains unpenned.
Man United want to take advantage and remind the world that they are a superpower. A package worth €200m (£174m) is being put together, and that would make the Brazilian the most expensive player in British football history.
Why Man Utd want Vinicius Jr.
Vinicius Jr, 25, is one of football’s true superstars, having joined Real Madrid from Flamengo for a £39m fee as a teenager in 2018.
Madrid president Florentino Perez said: “He’s a player who is already considered one of the great hopes of Brazilian and world football.”
Though Sesko is a centre-forward, and Vinicius Jr is more of goalscoring winger, this would be an opportunity too good to pass up, and there’s no question that the South American is the target INEOS must prioritise.
Indeed, it’s not like he doesn’t have the skills to serve as a goalscoring sensation at the club. As per FBref, the Real gem ranked among the top 10% of positional peers across Europe’s top five leagues last season for goals scored, the top 13% for shot-creating actions, the top 2% for progressive carries and the top 3% for successful take-ons per 90.
Perhaps he’s coming off the back of a campaign that left something to be desired, but the man still notched 22 goals and 19 assists across all competitions. In fact, he’s now surpassed 35 goal involvements for four seasons in succession.
Vinicius Junior.
Sesko, conversely, has yet to prove he has what it takes to take a seat at the elite table, having scored 13 goals from 33 Bundesliga fixtures in 2024/25.
The potential is there, and, of course, Sesko may well shape into one of the finest goalscorers in the business if he signs for Man United this summer, but in Vinicius Jr, Amorim would land a tailor-made figurehead with an absurd amount of technical quality. He’s the real deal.
Of course, the Brazil international is typically found coming off the left flank, and that’s an area that Cunha will be expected to play in, but the Madrid man’s compatriot started up front for Amorim’s team against Everton the other day, and Vinicius Jr, too, could be interchangeable positionally.

If the talk of his shooting ability wasn’t enough, the 25-year-old also averaged two key passes per game in La Liga last season, as per Sofascore, also averaging 2.7 dribbles and a whopping 5.8 duels per match. Earning £349k per week, you’d expect him to bring such a degree of completeness to the table.
Further, he’s one of the most recognisable faces currently competing in the Champions League, scoring in the 2018 final against Liverpool and the 2023 final versus Borussia Dortmund, triumphant on both occasions.
Vinicius Junior Graphic (timeless)
That’s the kind of pedigree Man United need if they are to restore themselves, rekindle that fire that once burned so bright at the height of the global game.
Described as a “legend in the making” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, Vinicius Jr has already left an indelible mark at Real Madrid, and could take his development to the next level by becoming a talisman at Old Trafford.
Sure, Sesko is a talented young striker with plenty of power and much determination besides, but we’re talking about a star on a different scale here, and if there truly is a chance to bring Vini over to the Premier League, the Red Devils must pounce as they march back to the top of the European scene.
Amorim's very own Ibrahimovic: Man Utd to make bid for "phenomenal" talent
Manchester United are making moves for a player who could replicate Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Birmingham City aren’t going to be accused of being dull anytime soon.
Chris Davies and Co. have stormed back into the Championship as big spenders, with £10m solely splashed out on the services of ex-Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi, among signing off on another eight summer buys in total.
However, they aren’t having much luck when it comes to securing the signing of Chuba Akpom, with a potential loan-to-buy deal for the ex-Arsenal striker to move to the Blues now up in the air, owing to a last-gasp advance from Ipswich Town.
It’s even being stated that Akpom prefers a switch to Suffolk over relocating to St. Andrew’s, leaving the Blues back at square one when trying to add in another top-quality striker to the camp.
Middlesbrough's former striker Chuba Akpom.
Birmingham ready to relaunch move for striker
Akpom would be an ideal addition to the newly promoted side’s ranks, considering he can boast an impressive 36 strikes in the Championship, with most of those goals finding the back of the net when he was donning Middlesbrough red.
Chuba Akpom
However, Birmingham’s opening day opponents might well be gifted with that wealth of experience, instead. Yet, it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom in Davies’ camp.
An exclusive report by Football League World has revealed that the ambitious second-tier side is now ready to reignite a move for past target Marvin Ducksch to soften this Akpom blow, with a deal falling flat in the first place owing to the German’s injury difficulties.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
With Ducksch on the mend, the potent Werder Bremen marksman is now being viewed as a high-priority target again on Birmingham’s shortlist, with the 31-year-old perhaps going down as an even better signing than the former Boro attacker if everything slots into place smoothly.
Why Ducksch could be a better signing than Akpom
After all, while Akpom is the talk of the town at the moment as the main, swirling rumour, he hasn’t always been a deadly striker across his varied career to date.
Indeed, even Akpom’s highest peak at the Riverside Stadium – where he bagged 28 goals in one season during the 2022/23 campaign – had some lows along the way, too, with only five more strikes coming his way for the Teesside club, before then departing for Ajax.
Aside from those flashes of goal-scoring excellence at Boro, Akpom has regularly struggled to be a clinical goal machine, as seen in him only firing home three goals last season for the Dutch giants in Eredivisie action. Across his 41 games in the Dutch top-flight, too, the 29-year-old has squandered a costly 16 big chances.
On the contrary, Ducksch has continued to age like a fine wine in his comfortable surroundings at Bremen, with double digits hammered home by the lethal number seven across his last five seasons in Germany, before just coming unstuck last campaign with nine goals tallied up.

Looking at the table above really does reinforce why Birmingham could be winning themselves a steal by bagging Ducksch for just £1.7m – as other reports suggest – with the lofty Dortmund-born star way out in front with his career goals as well, as seen in his stacked haul of 220 strikes from 459 games. Akpom lags behind on a weak 140, on the contrary.
Moreover, the “extraordinary” 31-year-old – as he’s dubbed by Bremen teammate Mitchell Weiser – would be able to link up with the likes of Jay Stansfield and Demarai Gray to devastating effect, with Ducksch sticking out as a creative machine, when amassing a ridiculous 110 assists, as much as he steals the limelight when finishing off his own chances with ease.
No doubt, Birmingham’s confidence in the transfer market had been slightly dented by the whole Akpom saga.
But, if they were able to pick up Ducksch instead, it would be the perfect way to swiftly brush all this unwanted talk under the carpet.
Bigger talent than Akpom: Birmingham City plot move for "fearless" PL ace
Birmingham City could sign a bigger talent than Chuba Akpom by winning the services of this Premier League starlet.
Glasgow Rangers officially confirmed their latest addition of the summer transfer window with the unveiling of loanee left-back Jayden Meghoma on Sunday.
The 19-year-old defender, who spent time on loan at Preston North End last season, has joined on loan from Brentford with a view to making the left-back position his own.
Brazilian left-back Jefte is reportedly closing in on a £6m move to Palmeiras, a year on from his move to the club from Fluminense, which will leave a vacant spot in the starting line-up.
The 21-year-old dynamo started 30 of his 33 appearances in the Scottish Premiership last season, per Sofascore, which means that Meghoma could have a big role to play as his replacement.
European club planning talks to sign Rangers defender
Jefte may not be the only left-back to move on from Glasgow before the end of the summer transfer window, though, as a European side are keen on signing an Ibrox flop.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
According to Sporx, Bestikas have identified Rangers left-back Ridvan Yilmaz as one of their top targets to bolster their defence for the 2025/26 campaign.
The report claims that the Turkish giants are planning to hold talks with the Gers this week to discuss a potential deal to bring the Turkey international back to the club.
It remains to be seen whether they want to do a loan or a permanent transfer for the full-back, but the Light Blues have reportedly set a €5m (£4m) asking price for Yilmaz.
Why Rangers should sell Ridvan Yilmaz
Rangers should look to cash in on the left-footed flop during these upcoming talks with Besiktas because he is even worse than Jefte and should be moved on in the coming days.
The Turkey international did not do enough on the pitch in the Premiership last season to prove that he is a better option than the Brazilian gem at left-back, which was reflected in his game time, or lack thereof.
Yilmaz only played 17 times in the top-flight, starting 11 of those games, and has not been involved in a single matchday squad in the 2025/26 campaign, per Sofascore, possibly down to the lack of quality in his performances under Philippe Clement and Barry Ferguson.

As you can see in the table above, Jefte played almost twice as many matches and significantly outperformed him with his offensive and defensive contributions at left-back, which shows that the former Fluminense man offers way more to the team at both ends of the pitch.
The Brazilian defender has also started four times in the current campaign, whilst Yilmaz has not played a single minute, and Max Aarons has been utilised at left-back ahead of the £4m-rated flop.
This shows that the 24-year-old dud is not a part of Russell Martin’s plans, as further evidenced by the signing of Meghoma, and that is why the Light Blues should be comfortable in allowing him to move on from Ibrox amid this interest from Besiktas.
If they are willing to allow Jefte to leave to sign for Palmeiras, they should also be willing to cash in on a player who is even worse than him and is further down the pecking order at this moment in time, because he does not appear to be part of the long-term plans at Ibrox.

Nottingham Forest are now leading the race for a “world-class” player, with Edu Gaspar driving the move, having previously tried to sign him for Arsenal, according to a report.
Forest eyeing new midfielder after securing Gibbs-White's future
Chris Wood has recently made it clear just how important it was to secure Morgan Gibbs-White’s future this summer, with the striker saying: “It feels like a top-class signing, keeping him here and doing well for our team. He would have been a hard man to replace,
“He’s a top-class talent and an England international. That type of talent doesn’t come around too often, so everyone from the manager to the owner has done fantastically well to keep him.”
However, having cashed in on Danilo and Lewis O’Brien already this summer, there may be room for Nuno Espirito Santo to bring in another midfielder before the transfer window slams shut, and Forest have set their sights on a former Premier League player.

Indeed, earlier this week it was revealed the Tricky Trees have now agreed personal terms with Juventus’ Douglas Luiz, formerly of Aston Villa, with a transfer fee currently in the process of being negotiated.
There has now been a new update on Forest’s pursuit of Luiz, with a report from Italy revealing they are leading the race for the Juventus maestro, who is valued at €40m (£35m) by the Italian club.
Edu is said to be the driving force behind the deal, having previously tried to sign the central midfielder for Arsenal, and developments are expected soon, with Nuno’s side ahead of the rival suitors in the race for his signature.
Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz.
The Juventus ace struggled in the 2024-25 campaign, but his previous exploits in the Premier League suggest he could be a fantastic signing for Forest…
Luiz could be "world-class" addition to Nuno's squad
The former Villa man hasn’t set the world alight since moving to Italy, but he was held in very high regard by ex-teammate John McGinn during his previous stint in England, with the Scotland international lauding him as “world-class”.
That description is certainly bold, but it is arguably backed up by the numbers, with Statman Dave providing an overview of just how impressive the Brazilian was during the 2023-24 Premier League campaign.
The Rio de Janeiro-born midfielder was a real difference-maker for Villa in their pursuit of Champions League football, indicating that he could have a similar impact at the City Ground.
As such, it is exciting news that Forest are now leading the race for the 27-year-old, who could form a formidable partnership with Gibbs-White in midfield.
O Palmeiras foi derrotado por 1 a 0 pelo Fortaleza, na última quarta-feira (31), mas mesmo assim se classificou para as quartas de final da Copa do Brasil por conta do placar agregado.
