At 31 years old, José Zúñiga is set for the biggest challenge of his career – wearing Club América’s jersey.

José Zúñiga, nicknamed, is facing the biggest challenge of his career: representing Club América, the most decorated team in Liga MX history. Though the 31-year-old Colombian striker has played more games in Mexico’s second division than in the top flight, he now finds himself on the grandest stage of Mexican football.

Zúñiga understands the weight of the opportunity, and he’s embracing it with full ambition.

“I’ve always dreamed of winning a title. I think this club gives me that chance to become a champion, and I’m going to fight for it,” he said in an interview with the club’s media. “I still have many dreams to fulfill, and I believe with this team, I can go very far.”

Zúñiga also emphasized the responsibility that comes with playing for a club of América’s stature, saying he fully understands the winning DNA that defines the institution.

“Commitment, demands, responsibility – we know this is a club used to winning, that never gives up. The fans are demanding; they always want to celebrate and win titles. That’s what this team is about,” he added.

Zúñiga’s journey in Mexican football began in the second division, where he played 104 matches for Dorados de Sinaloa and Potros UAEM. He later featured in 29 games for Querétaro and 53 for Tijuana, where he scored 23 goals, including 12 last season to share the Liga MX Golden Boot.

O Palmeiras está focado na busca pelo título do Brasileirão e pode conquistá-lo já nesta quarta-feira, até mesmo sem entrar em campo. No entanto, pensando no Fortaleza, adversário da 35ª rodada, Abel Ferreira pode estar preparando uma novidade para garantir os três pontos no Allianz Parque e gritar “é campeão” no gramado.

E o fato novo que pode pintar na escalação é o jovem Endrick, que entraria no lugar de Mayke, que por sua vez tem atuado improvisado em uma função mais ofensiva. Se isso acontecer, a tendência é que Rony passe a atuar em uma das pontas, alternando o lado com Dudu, enquanto a joia palmeirense ficaria mais centralizado no ataque.

Foi mais ou menos assim que Abel armou o time no segundo tempo da partida diante do Athletico-PR, na última terça-feira. Naquele dia, inclusive, quem saiu da equipe no intervalo foi justamente Mayke. A partir dessa formação foi que o Alviverde cresceu na partida e virou o jogo para 3 a 1 depois de sair do primeiro tempo com 1 a 0 contra.

No treino do último domingo, entre as imagens que a assessoria de imprensa do Palmeiras divulgou, foi possível notar uma conversa particular de Abel Ferreira com Endrick, o que pode indicar algum plano para o garoto na partida da próxima quarta-feira. Seria leviano fazer qualquer suposição do papo, mas não deixa de ser curioso essa interação justamente neste momento de possibilidade de mudança.

Apesar de a comissão técnica fazer tudo para evitar queimar etapas e antecipar a evolução natural de Endrick, a atuação na Arena da Baixada e os dois gols marcados pesam muito a favor de quem defende a titularidade do garoto. A capacidade de não sentir a pressão e ainda brilhar em momentos decisivos, podem ser fatores fundamentais em um duelo que a vitória vale o título brasileiro.

Antes de Endrick jogar pouco mais de 45 minutos diante do Furacão, que foi a maior quantidade de tempo que ele já teve em uma partida, o garoto já havia jogado pouco mais de 60 minutos nos outros três duelos que entrou. Além de algumas oportunidades criadas e uma expulsão provocada, ele deu uma assistência para Vanderlan. Ou seja, gradativamente tem atingido patamares mais altos.

Dessa forma, não será surpresa se Abel Ferreira já escalar Endrick como titular diante do Fortaleza, nesta quarta-feira, no Allianz Parque. Uma provável formação do Palmeiras seria: Weverton; Marcos Rocha, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo e Piquerez; Danilo, Zé Rafael e Gustavo Scarpa; Dudu, Rony e Endrick (Mayke). A certeza, porém, teremos somente a uma hora da partida decisiva do Brasileirão.

South Africa will rely on the experience of Kagiso Rabada and the exuberance of Gerald Coetzee to fill the fear-factor gap left by Anrich Nortje’s unavailability. That was the message from bowling coach Eric Simons, who wants the opposition camps to be discussing how to handle his oldest and youngest quicks through the tournament.”I’ve sat in a lot of team meetings and the more the opposition talks about a certain batter or bowler, the more you are in their heads and the more you are ahead of them in the game. Someone like Anrich would have been someone they would have spoken about,” Simons said from South Africa’s hotel in Delhi, where they are preparing to play their first match of the competition against Sri Lanka. “Likewise, with Kagiso. He is one of our key members.”While steering away from naming Rabada as the leader of the attack – a title Simons said he does not understand the reasons for giving someone – he spoke to Rabada’s 92 ODI caps as being crucial to South Africa’s chances of intimidating opposition line-ups. “Kagiso is someone with a lot of experience and someone the opposition respects, so getting him up to speed and getting him bowling at his best is not just important for him but for us as a unit.”Related

• Gerald Coetzee: A scary all-round package in the making

• In warm and humid Delhi, it could be South Africa's batters vs Sri Lanka's spinners

• Scriptless Sri Lanka put hopes on hold

And that is the rub of it. Rabada had not had the opportunity to be at his best for South Africa in ODIs this year – he has only played five of their 12 ODIs this year – and has also not been at his best in big tournaments. Again, the sample size is small, but telling.Rabada has only played one 50-over World Cup and his performance mirrored South Africa’s: it was underwhelming. He played all nine of South Africa’s group games in 2019 and took 11 wickets at 36.09. In the context of the team’s performance it was not bad: Rabada had the same number of wickets as Imran Tahir and Andile Phehlukwayo, and only two fewer than their leading wicket-taker, Chris Morris, but against his international peers it was poor. Mitchell Starc was the tournament’s leading bowler with 27 wickets. Among the headline quicks around the circuit Lockie Ferguson, Jofra Archer, Jasprit Bumrah, Mark Wood, Mohammad Amir, Trent Boult, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Chris Woakes, Mohammed Shami, Matt Henry and Pat Cummins had better tournaments than Rabada.Similarly, Rabada has not shot the lights out at the T20 World Cups he has been involved in. At last year’s T20 World Cup, he took only two wickets in five games and at his first event, in India in 2016, he claimed five wickets in three matches and had an economy rate of 10.71. The only exception was the UAE in 2021 where Rabada took eight wickets in five matches at 19.37 on the back of finishing as the leading bowler in the IPL in the UAE in late 2020. Since then, Rabada’s IPL form has also dipped. In 2021, he took 15 wickets in 15 matches and averaged over 30, in 2022 he took 23 wickets in 13 matches and conceded at 8.45 runs to the over and this year, played only six matches, took seven wickets, averaged 33.14 and bled 10.08 runs an over.Kagiso Rabada’s bowling could be central to South Africa’s success•AFP/Getty Images

It’s fair to say big tournaments have not brought big results for Rabada but has it been bothering him? “We’ve not spoken specifically about World Cups,” Simons said. “He wants to be the best he can possibly be. We had a long conversation about tactics to be used at the death in India, for example. It’s a constant learning process and every day is about being little better than he was yesterday.”Sisanda Magala’s absence after being ruled out of the tournament with a knee niggle means that South Africa also need someone who can do a job at the end of innings. From Simons’ comments, it seems Rabada has taken on the task himself, adding to his duties as chief aggressor. That’s where Coetzee will come in, albeit with a word of warning. “He is someone who can bowl constantly at 140kph-plus, which is important in any conditions,” Simons said. “But someone is going to punch him in the nose at some point. I have no doubt about it. That’s what this game is about, particularly in India.”Fast pitches and small grounds may mean the ball leaves the bat as quickly as Coetzee can deliver it but Simons is hopeful he will learn quickly. “He faced a good test against Australia and an extremely aggressive batting line up. It was good to see him come through it and come up with ideas and plans,” Simons said. “He is a very intelligent young cricketer. He understands his game and he contributes a lot especially in bowling meetings. It’s going to be a steep learning curve for him but he is somebody with the material and resources to handle it.”And while Coetzee’s pace is the aspect of his game everyone is eager to see, Simons hinted there are other parts of his skill set that could be equally exciting. “One of the things that is going to be important in Indian conditions is pace-off deliveries and he has got a delivery that is quite effective. In the Australia series, he bowled Alex Carey with a legcutter and you could see it surprised everyone. Once you’ve got opposition talking about it, you’re winning a bit of a battle.”Build-ups to World Cup campaigns are often preoccupied with chatter about the players who have not made it the tournament – players like Nortje. As South Africa’s opener draws closer, the conversation could and should move to the bowlers who have made the trip and impact the likes of Rabada and Coetzee could have.

كشفت تقارير صحفية، عن تطور جديد في ملف رحيل وسام أبو علي مهاجم فريق الكرة بالأهلي إلى أحد أندية الخليج، خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الجارية.

وأبدى وسام أبو علي رغبة قوية في الرحيل عن الأهلي وخوض تجربة احترافية، رغم تمسك مسؤولي القلعة الحمراء ببقاء اللاعب في ظل حاجة الفريق له.

وأفادت صحيفة “الخليج” أن مسؤولي الوصل قرروا استبعاد وسام أبو علي من قائمة المرشحين للانضمام للفريق بسبب المبالغات التي شهدتها المفاوضات خلال الأيام الماضية، وهي الأسباب نفسها التي دفعت ممثلي نادي الريان القطري للانسحاب من الصفقة أيضًا.

أوضح التقرير، أن الأرقام التي تحدث عنها الإعلام خلال الأيام الأخيرة، كانت بعيدة تماماً عن الأرقام الحقيقية، التي تم التطرق لها خلال المفاوضات التي لم تصل إلى مرحلة تقديم العروض كتابياً.

O lateral-direito foi o responsável pelo único gol do Tricolor no tempo normal. Mesmo que tenha perdido o pênalti, o atleta foi de grande destaque. Após a partida, em entrevista à Conmebol TV, destacou a influência de Rogério Ceni no resultado.

De acordo com suas palavras, graças ao treinador e ao ‘seu espírito de campeão’, a equipe se motivou a se aproximar ainda mais da conquista do continental.

– O professor sempre fala para a gente ter o espírito de campeão, porque ele foi um vencedor aqui dentro, e é o que ele busca passar para a gente. É isso que a gente vai buscar – destacou.

O jogador ressaltou a dificuldade da decisão. A partida foi disputada na Arena Castelão, que contou com a torcida do Vozão em peso, e com somente um gol de vantagem para o Tricolor.

– Jogo muito difícil. Aqui no Castelão é difícil você vir e conseguir jogar da maneira que jogamos hoje. Equipe muito forte fisicamente, mas acredito que Rogério fez boas escolhas hoje. Conseguimos fazer um bom primeiro tempo, nosso segundo tempo também, e conseguimos a classificação nos pênaltis, muito importante para nós – analisou.

Agora, a equipe de Ceni se prepara para enfrentar o Atlético-GO na próxima etapa. O Dragão eliminou o Nacional-URU na última terça-feira (9).

Maior garçom da temporada, Igor Vinícius vê sua renovação no São Paulo como algo próximo. Conforme adiantado pelo LANCE!, o lateral revelou que estas conversas já estariam encaminhadas.

O atleta destacou seu desejo de se ser campeão com a camisa do Tricolor paulista.

– Objetivo real é ser campeão. A gente está numa semifinal agora, duas partidas muito difíceis, mas a gente sabe que, se encararmos com seriedade esses dois jogos, temos uma oportunidade muito grande de fazer uma final. Estamos a três jogos de uma final. Com esse espírito que estamos, espero que a gente consiga isso – concluiu.

La Gazetta dello Sport states that De Bruyne's agents will meet with Napoli representatives on Wednesday over the possibility of signing a two-year deal, with the option of a third year, and a €10 million (£8.4m) signing bonus.

De Bruyne will, arguably, go down as City's greatest player but that was not enough for him to be offered a new contract. The 33-year-old played his last game for the Manchester outfit on Sunday, and now speculation is rife he will join newly-crowned Serie A champions Napoli shortly after becoming a free agent. And according to Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis, the Belgian international has bought a house in Naples and a move is very much on the cards.

WHAT DE LAURENTIIS SAID

He told RAI: "Could De Bruyne be nearby to celebrate Napoli's title? Probably yes. He bought a beautiful house here in the city, I had a call with him, his wife, and his nine-year-old son this morning, it was a beautiful sight. There is nothing signed yet."

It may just be a matter of time before the attacking midfielder departs City and joins Napoli ahead of next season.

In 1910, King George V was crowned, the London Palladium was opened and, believe it or not, a match between Eton and Harrow was described by Wisden as the most sensational in the history of cricket. It was also the last time Leicestershire beat Yorkshire in the Championship at Headingley.Well, now they have done it again. Times change, and even the 2024 Wisden, with its annual commitment to county cricket, might not be as effusive as it once was about Eton vs Harrow, but this time it is Leicestershire who deserve the term “sensational”.In what must rank as one of the biggest Championship shocks for years, they pulled off the third-highest successful chase in their history, conquering a target of 389 in 87 overs by three wickets with seven balls to spare, surpassing the 378 for 5 they achieved to beat Middlesex at Grace Road two years ago.Foremost among Leicestershire’s heroes was Rishi Patel, whose maiden Championship hundred, 125 from 205 balls, fired their belief that such a formidable final-day chase was in reach. They owed much, too, to the controlled power of Colin Ackermann in mid-afternoon and the nervelessness of Peter Handscomb, whose watchful role in making an unbeaten 68 from 99 balls was expertly judged.Add some lusty blows against the second new ball by the long-in-the-tooth, long-handle of Chris Wright (40 from 32 balls), finished by a steer of Jordan Thompson’s bouncer over the keeper, and the celebrations were theirs. The cheers from the away dressing room almost drowned out the shouts from the rugby ground across the way where Leeds Rhinos were in action.Rishi Patel scored his maiden Championship hundred•Getty Images

If that shock 1910 victory caused only minor reverberations at the time, it was also quite a thing. The Yorkshire side included the great Kirkheaton triumvirate of George Hirst, Schofield Haigh and Wilfred Rhodes. But they were captained by that year by Everard Ratcliffe during prolonged absences of Lord Hawke, the great Yorkshire autocrat, had one of their worst seasons in that era and succumbed to Thomas Jayes’ seven-for in the second innings; Jayes was to die of TB three years later.Not for the first time, Dom Bess underwent a marathon Yorkshire spell without quite gaining reward: his fortune will surely change. It is hard to envisage another Yorkshire spin bowler taking five wickets at Headingley as early as April 9. Bess finished with 5 for 158 off 32 overs, a marathon spell from the 13th over interrupted only for a brief rest and a change of ends, and clingfilmed a vulnerable Yorkshire seam attack on a monotonously dead surface.A second new ball that might have provided a route to Yorkshire’s victory became instead their downfall as Yorkshire removed Bess from the attack after long discussions with 37 needed from five overs. It was understandable, but Ben Coad’s second over back (the requirement now 25 from three) cost 16, beginning with Handscomb’s immediate switch of gear as he crept down the pitch and yanked a back-of-the-length ball into the Western Terrace for six. Wright followed up with two slaps down the ground and the game was as good as Leicestershire’s.So much for pre-match theories. If Yorkshire wanted perfect opponents to rebuild their morale after a year that had brought relegation on the field and widespread condemnation off it then surely Leicestershire were that team. Leicestershire, so often county cricket’s whipping boys, bottom of the pile last season without a single victory to their name.Such thoughts did not extend to the dressing room – a delayed declaration on the final day was proof of that. Yorkshire’s lead was 322 at the start of play with six wickets intact. There had been grumbles from some spectators that Yorkshire had not declared late on the the previous evening, but the pitch was flat and what logic there was in such a view presumably arose from an early-season attack of Yorkshire hubris which like the common cold is not easily shaken off.Instead, Yorkshire thrashed a further 66 in seven overs, and those seven overs took the best part of 50 minutes, in part due to a hand injury suffered by Jordan Thompson to the first ball he faced, but also some deliberate indolence from Leicestershire in the field, supervised by a captain, Lewis Hill, who appeared to prefer low-level professionalism to any thoughts of victory. Survival cricket can become a habit. Perhaps he has learned something from what followed.Related

On this surface, for the bowlers there was nowt doin’, not even for the new ball on a murky Easter Sunday morning. Leicestershire worked the ball around with ease. George Hill, a part-time seamer, was the only bowler able to exert control. Sometimes cricket history is made with stirring deeds, bringing an avalanche of emotions. Sometimes, like this time, historic moments gather slowly and surreptitiously. After Leicestershire had conceded 517 on first innings, a win felt barely conceivable, although recovering from such a position has become increasingly common, nine of the 20 occasions occuring this century.Sol Budinger supported Patel in a lively opener of 80 before Bess took the first of his three wickets as the batter picked out midwicket. Hill was the only Leicestershire batter to fail when he tried to cut Bess and edged to the keeper. Patel should have been caught off Coad at point on eight – a blemish by James Wharton. But the methodical air was immediately re-established as Colin Ackermann joined Patel in a stand of 113 in 27 overs. Patel, who made eight single-figure scores in his last 11 innings last season, almost perished to a return catch against Hill on 97, bur recovered his poise to slog-sweep Bess for six in to the deserted West Stand to reach three figures.Leicestershire never looked overstretched as Ackermann, more than anybody, met Bess with ease, only for the offspinner to intervene just before tea, with the requirement looking a very manageable 188 from 38 at 4.95. At 20 to 4, much to everyone’s amazement, the ball turned appreciably and Ackermann fell lbw on the back foot.Yorkshire maintained an attacking intent as much as the situation allowed – Adam Lyth, a “stand-in, stand-in captain”, holding his nerve. Lyth himself did not walk out of slip until 78 overs had gone and by then Yorkshire had removed not just Patel, but Bess had also defeated two batters on the charge – Wiaan Mulder slicing high to deep cover and Rehan Ahmed wilder still as he was stumped by Shai Hope. When Michael Finan’s promotion up the order failed, it felt like Leicestershire might fall short, but this Yorkshire pace attack lacks presence and on this surface it proved to be vulnerable to the end.

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to lodge a big-money bid for one of Europe’s most sought-after players in the summer, according to a new report.

Tottenham inconsistencies shine light on transfer plans

If there’s one word to describe Tottenham this season, it’s inconsistent. Ange Postecoglou’s side has swung between unstoppable and absent from one week to the next—beating teams like Liverpool and Manchester City in all too rare one-offs, only to then suffer defeats against the likes of Leicester City and Everton.

That inconsistency was on display again last week. Fresh off three consecutive wins over Brentford, Manchester United and Ipswich Town, Spurs delivered a lackluster performance against City, falling 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A goal from Erling Haaland was enough to secure all three points for the visitors.

Speaking after the match, which saw Spurs drop back down to 13th in the table, Postecoglou insisted there were plenty of positives to take from the defeat – most notablty the performances of young stars like Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert.

“There’s definitely positives and I think you know, I keep saying there’s enormous growth that we’re witnessing before our eyes, even though we’re not getting the rewards for it right now,” he proclaimed.

“We’re disappointed, but like I said, in terms of performance, from my perspective anyway, there’s stuff in there where we can say, okay, we we’re going to take that forward and get to level we want to.”

Spurs bidding for Ademola Lookman

After what’s been a difficult season, Tottenham will no doubt be looking to bolster their squad in the summer, not only to add quality but also strength in numbers. According to reports in Spain, one man Spurs will be looking to acquire is Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.

Spurs have apparently been scouting the Nigerian, who was named last year’s African Footballer of the Year, for several months. There are ‘offers estimated at around €45m (£40m) plus a number of bonuses’, although it is not clear if the bids have been made or just prepared for the summer, the latter of which seems more likely.

Lookman, 27, has been one of Europe’s top players over the past two seasons. Last year, he scored 17 goals and produced nine assists for Atalanta, including a memorable hat-trick in the Europa League final as they beat Bayer Leverkusen to win the trophy for the first time in their history. This term, Lookman has scored 17 goals and produced seven assists in 30 games across all competitions.

Despite being one of Atalanta’s key men, Lookman’s future at the Gewiss Stadium has recently come into question due to a public spat he had with manager Gian Piero Gasperini. The Italian coach had called Lookman “one of the worst penalty takers” after he missed a spot kick as Atalanta were dumped out of the Champions League at the hands of Club Brugge.

“He has a frankly terrible record even in training, he converts very few of them,” Gasperini said. “Retegui and De Ketelaere were there, but Lookman in a moment of enthusiasm after scoring decided to take the ball and that was a gesture I did not appreciate at all.”

Lookman hit back at his boss by calling his words “disrespectful”.

Paulo Sousa completará 30 jogos à frente do Flamengo no clássico deste domingo, contra o Fluminense, o algoz na final do Carioca e que o clube ainda não venceu nesta temporada após três jogos – duas derrotas e um empate.

O presidente do Flamengo não estará presente no Fla-Flu, já que se encontra em Paris para assistir à final da Liga dos Campeões, porém já comunicou ao departamento de futebol que aposta no embalo do trabalho de Paulo Sousa, independente do resultado no clássico.

Para o jogo deste fim de semana, além da responsabilidade de dar uma “resposta” contra o arquirrival, o Mister terá que definir a melhor estratégia para atacar, seja com Pedro e Gabigol novamente no comando de ataque ou não, e se Hugo seguirá entre os titulares.

Ao menos em relação ao goleiro, a tendência é que o camisa 45 ganhe uma nova chance. Ou seja, as intensas cobranças das arquibancadas e falhas recentes não devem mudar os planos da comissão técnica.

Por falar em cobranças, nem mesmo as três vitórias seguidas no Maracanã (contra Universidad Católica, Goiás e Sporting Cristal) evitaram as vaias ao time de Paulo Sousa. Na sequência no Rio, o jogo contra o Flu será o de maior exigência e um teste essencial, pois pode, em caso de uma vitória convincente, amparar o pressionado português.
