Além dos três pontos conquistados e o fim do jejum de cinco meses sem vencer, o técnico Cuca considerou o triunfo por 3 a 1 diante do Athletico-PR, neste domingo (16), na Vila Belmiro, pela terceira rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, importante para recuperar o moral do elenco.

Segundo o treinador, caso o time chagasse à sétima partida sem vencer, a pressão seria muito grande para uma equipe composta majoritariamente por atletas mais jovens.

– Se você não vence, é uma pressão muito grande para uma equipe jovem. E a moral você não adquire se você não tiver um resultado para conseguir a moral. Acho que hoje a gente recupera um pouco da autoestima, o que é importante pra gente melhorar a performance durante o Campeonato – disse o técnico em entrevista coletiva online realizada após o jogo,

Embora contente com o resultado positivo, Cuca chamou a atenção do elenco pelo gol sofrido aos 43 minutos do segundo tempo, quando vencia por 3 a 0. Para ele, o tento marcado por Abner tirou “meio ponto” do time na avaliação final.

– Dou nota 7,5. Se a gente não toma um gol no final, tiraria oito. Aquele gol no final é um relaxo natural que o jogador tem, por faltar três quatro minutos e estar 3 a 0, mas a gente tem que corrigir isso. O jogo só acaba no apito final. De repente você toma um segundo gol e vira um “perereco” só. Tem que tomar cuidado. Já conversei isso com eles lá dentro – afirmou Alexi Stival.

Com o resultado positivo, o Peixe chegou a quatro pontos em três rodadas pelo Brasileirão. O Alvinegro Praiano é oitavo colocado, e enfrenta o Sport, fora de casa, nesta quinta-feira (20), pela quarta rodada da competição nacional.

Leeds United could revisit their interest in Wolves striker Hwang Hee-chan in the future, transfer insider Dean Jones has told GiveMeSport.

The lowdown

The Whites’ efforts to sign Hwang from their Premier League rivals continued until the final hours of Transfer Deadline Day, as per Sky Sports News. Bruno Lage’s side apparently wanted £25m to part with the South Korean, who played under Jesse Marsch at Red Bull Salzburg.

In the end, the Whites did manage to land a striker for a much smaller fee, paying FC Zurich £3.8m for 18-year-old Wilfried Gnonto.

Another player that they pursued was Bamba Dieng of Marseille, but he snubbed them late on to try and join Nice, only to then fail a medical (via Ben Jacobs).

The latest

Jones says that Dieng ticked all the boxes for Leeds but believes that Victor Orta and co have alternatives in mind. They could ‘come back’ to the table for Hwang, as well as another summer target in PSV Eindhoven’s Cody Gakpo.

Jones told GiveMeSport: “Fulham moved on from Dieng and that gave Leeds a pretty free run at him.

“He was the ideal player to fit the project as he still had plenty of scope to be moulded into what Marsch was looking for in a forward. Hwang proved too tough but it is one they might come back to along with Gakpo.”

The verdict

Even though there has been no concrete movement, this prospective transfer still feels realistic.

Gnonto is still so young that Leeds might require a more senior addition too, with Marsch previously raising doubts over the teenager’s immediate readiness for Premier League football.

Furthermore, Wolves have recruited in forward areas this summer, bringing in Goncalo Guedes, Sasa Kalajdzic and, pending a medical on Tuesday, Diego Costa.

Although Kalajdzic has sustained a serious injury, Hwang may still be pushed down the pecking order, and that could be conducive to a move away from Molineux.

Leeds are under no illusions as to the threat he can pose after he scored in a 1-1 draw between the two teams at Elland Road last season, while the South Korean has also earned plenty of praise from pundits.

Ian Wright says that the 26-year-old has ‘got everything’ one would look for in a striker, while Kevin Campbell has called him ‘dangerous’ and ‘very lively’, so hopefully the Whites can make another go at trying to lure Hwang to Yorkshire.

Glasgow Rangers missed out on landing the Premiership title last season after lifting the trophy and going unbeaten in the 2020/21 campaign. 

Their arch-rivals pipped them to the crown in a season in which Gio van Bronckhorst was brought in to replace Steven Gerrard part-way into 2021/22, who left to back down south of the border.

Although they were unable to win their domestic league, the Dutch head coach was able to bring silverware back to Ibrox by winning the SFA Cup and led the Gers to the final of the Europa League – losing to Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties.

A large part of their recent successes could be put down to the work that has gone on in the transfer market to build the current group of players.

Gerrard arrived at the club in 2018 and one of his first signings in charge of the Light Blues was central defender Connor Goldson from Brighton in a deal reportedly worth around £3m and it has turned out to be a dream deal for all involved.

The £27k-per-week colossus hit the ground running at Ibrox as he played 54 times in all competitions in the 2018/19 campaign, helping them qualify for the group stages of the Europa League by playing in eight qualifiers in his first couple of months at the club.

He quickly established himself as a regular team and enjoyed his first taste of real success at Rangers in 2020/21 as he played a huge role in winning the title. Goldson started all 38 of their league matches as the Gers went unbeaten and kept 26 clean sheets to lift the Premiership trophy under Gerrard.

His former teammate Gordon Gree hailed him as being “strong” and The Athletic’s Jordan Campbell previously described him as a “monster”, which highlights the physicality he brings to the team at the back.

This has been backed up by his performances on the pitch in the Premiership in recent seasons. He won a whopping 68% of his individual duels in 2021/22, after winning 71% in 2020/21, and this shows that he is able to dominate the opposition and is not a liability from a physical point of view.

Goldson used his quality to help the club to another trophy last season as he made four appearances, and scored one goal, in the SFA Cup – starting in the final and keeping a clean sheet in a 2-0 win.

This means that, to date, Rangers have paid £1.5m per trophy won for the signing of Goldson and he has four years left on his contract to change that figure and make it even more impressive.

Along with his trophies, Goldson has also helped the club to make their return to the Champions League group stages – playing in all four of their qualifiers over the summer.

He has been a dream signing and, hopefully, he will only improve upon his legacy at Ibrox between now and the end of his deal in 2026.

Nottingham Forest host Fulham at The City Ground tomorrow night and Steve Cooper will be pleased to hear that their opponents will be without one of their key players for the clash.

What’s the latest?

Marco Silva took to his pre-match press conference to give an update on an ankle injury sustained by defender Antonee Robinson during their most recent game with Tottenham Hotspur.

When asked whether Robinson would be able to play in Friday night’s game, Silva revealed (via West London Sport):

“It will be difficult, I have to be honest.

“We still have some hours until the game and we have to check him, like we are doing every single day, and we have to take the decision.”

It’s good news for Forest

Forest desperately need to start picking up more points in the Premier League as they have now found themselves in the relegation zone following their defeat to Bournemouth in their last outing, leaving them 19th with just 4 points collected from their first six outings.

The news that Fulham’s back-line will be weakened with the suspected absence of Robinson will surely leave Cooper with something to think about when it comes to deploying his best attacking threat that can take advantage of their weaknesses successfully.

The Welshman has a range of forwards he could deploy tomorrow night including Jesse Lingard, Brennan Johnson, Morgan Gibbs-White, Sam Surridge, Taiwo Awoniyi and Emmanuel Dennis, so Cooper will need to carefully select the forwards he can rely on to not only create goal-scoring opportunities but convert them too.

Both sides are newly promoted to the top flight and will be desperate to retain their Premier League status, Fulham are having a much better start than their opponents as they are currently 10th in the league, however, the Tricky Trees beat the London-based side 1-0 in their last meeting in the Championship.

Forest have lost their last three Premier League games conceding 11 goals in total and after the horror show at The City Ground against Bournemouth, Cooper will be wanting to see his side offer the home supporters a positive reaction tomorrow evening before the league breaks for the international fixtures.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho will leave the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season.

The Lowdown: End of an era

The 37-year-old joined the Cityzens in a £30m move from Shakhtar Donetsk back in 2013 and has enjoyed plenty of success during his time in Manchester, winning 13 trophies including the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup on multiple occasions.

The Brazil veteran revealed during a press conference with the media last month that he had decided that this would be his final campaign playing for City, but with Guardiola admitting that he would love the midfielder to remain at the club, there was a possibility that he might have had a change of heart.

However, it appears as though that’s not the case…

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/man-city-newest-updates/” title=”Man City newest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Latest: Fernandinho returning to Brazil

Taking to Twitter to deliver a fresh update on Fernandinho’s future, Romano shot down any lingering hope that there may have been of a U-turn from the 37-year-old.

The journalist outlined: “Fernandinho hasn’t changed his mind and he’ll leave Manchester City in the summer, as already announced. His priority is to go back to Brazil.

“Pep wanted Fernandinho to stay but it’s a personal decision… and Man City will go a new midfielder this summer.”

The Verdict: He’ll be a massive loss

The departure of the 53-cap Brazil international will come as a huge loss not only to Guardiola but the club as a whole, with Fernandinho making an astonishing 380 appearances, scoring 26 goals and registering 33 assists across all competitions during that time, via Transfermarkt.

The City skipper was once dubbed a “sensational” player by Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United defender Gary Neville, and he has been a massively influential player in the middle of the park where there will be huge boots to fill, no matter who City end up signing as his replacement.

If Fernandinho is to return to his homeland, this would more than likely take him to the end of his playing career given his age, and it’s fair to say that his time in English football is something that he will be able to look back upon as a very successful one in years to come.

Tottenham Hostpur have been dealt a huge injury setback ahead of their Premier League meeting with Arsenal on Thursday.

What’s the latest?

In a recent post on Twitter, Alasdair Gold relayed comments made by Antonio Conte in his pre-match press conference, in which the 52-year-old manager confirmed that the left-back, who has missed Spurs’ last two fixtures due to a knock, has once again been ruled out for tomorrow’s clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-spurs-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-and-much-more” title= “Read the latest Spurs news!”]

Regarding the current condition of the 25-year-old, Gold said: “Conte on injury news: ‘The situation is the same and the same of the last game against Liverpool. Reguilon is not available and I don’t think he can recover. There is only 10 days to go. Only the same players as Liverpool’.”

Conte will be fuming

Considering just how important Thursday’s North London Derby is in Tottenham’s bid to secure a top-four finish in the league, the news that Reguilon will once again miss out due to injury is sure to have left Conte fuming.

Indeed, over his 25 Premier League outings this season, the £25.2m-rated left-back has scored two goals, provided three assists and created five big chances for his teammates, in addition to taking an average of 0.8 shots, making 1.2 key passes and completing 0.8 dribbles per game.

The £53k-per-week defender has also helped his side keep six clean sheets, as well as making an average of 1.2 interceptions, 1.6 tackles, 1.6 clearances and winning 4.6 duels – at a success rate of 52% – per fixture.

These returns have seen the former Real Madrid starlet average a SofaScore match rating of 6.91, ranking him as Spurs’ 12th-best player in the top flight of English football.

As such, the Spaniard’s absence will certainly come as huge blow to Conte and the Italian’s hopes of securing all three points against the Gunners tomorrow – with anything but a win against Mikel Arteta’s fourth-placed side all but ending Tottenham’s bid to seal Champions League football next season.

Aston Villa could well land a new striker in the next few weeks according to recent reports.

What’s the word?

The Athletic revealed that striker Luis Suarez would be leaving Atletico Madrid at the end of the season for pastures new following a two-year spell at the club.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano then tweeted “Suárez is not considering MLS bids as of today, his priority is to continue in Europe.”

This can only be good news for Aston Villa. The links with the Midlands side date back to January and Steven Gerrard could well move for a reunion this summer.

Suarez could link up with Gerrard again

Villa have had an up and down campaign this season, with Gerrard arriving in mid-November to much fanfare and despite little flashes of brilliance, the side has been underwhelming.

The manager will be aiming to take the club into Europe next season, and this will require several world-class players arriving in the midlands.

The recent permanent arrival of Philippe Coutinho could well be a catalyst for more, and Suarez will hopefully be next to link back up with his former teammate.

The 35-year-old has scored 34 goals in 82 appearances for Atletico Madrid in all competitions and it shows that he still has the ability to shine in the Premier League, a division where he has scored 69 goals in just 110 outings.

He won the La Liga title in his first season in the Spanish capital and his winning mentality can only be a boost to the Villans.

Gerrard only has two senior strikers available in the Villa squad, Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings, so an urgent priority is to secure someone who can lead from the front and take the side to the next level.

On a free transfer, it would be a wise move from Gerrard’s point of view.

AND in other news, Lange plotting AVFC bid for £10m gem who can “play anywhere”, Gerrard will love him

Aston Villa have been dealt a worrying setback ahead of their clash against Premier League relegation battlers Burnley tonight.

What’s the latest?

Villa keeper Emi Martinez picked up a knock in training on Wednesday, which could rule him out of tonight’s game.

As per Birmingham Live, Gerrard said:

“Emi’s a doubt at the moment.

“We’re just analysing the situation that happened today [Wednesday] in training, but I think he’ll play and he’ll be fine.

“It was just a knock in training. We’ll analyse it. I’m confident he’ll be there. If he’s not there, Robin’s champing at the bit. He’s been awesome. He’s trained well and he’s ready and I’ll have no qualms putting Robin [Olsen] in if I have to. If Emi’s fit and he’s fine – we’ll assess him in the next hour or two – then he’ll play.”

A big blow

Despite Gerrard’s comments about back-up keeper Olsen, the loss of Martinez will come as a big blow to the Villans, with Martinez registering 11 clean sheets this season and making an average of 2.6 saves per 90.

Furthermore, he’s also one of the best in his position across the top flight, with journalist Joey D’Urso labelling him “world-class” last term.

Despite these metrics, the Argentine has faltered somewhat in comparison to last campaign, so it will also come as a big blow to a goalkeeper who will have been hoping to end the season in good form, with the idea of starting the next season in the same vein.

Though, with the update from Gerrard, it looks as though Martinez will be touch and go.

Whilst he may sit out tonight’s game, the Villa boss will be hoping he is fit enough to feature in Villa’s final game against Manchester City, with a win over the Citizens almost certainly enough to hand old club Liverpool the Premier League trophy.
