Em 2024, Caio terá a missão de comandar a Lusa nas disputas do Campeonato Carioca, Campeonato Brasileiro Série D e Copa Rio. Além destas, pode conseguir também uma vaga na Copa do Brasil caso o Fluminense conquiste a Copa Libertadores ou então o Flamengo se classifique de forma direta para a mesma competição via Campeonato Brasileiro, fator que abriria mais vagas nas primeiras fases do torneio.

Caio Couto foi contratado para assumir a função de treinador principal da Portuguesa-RJ ainda em 2023, após comandar o Audax Rio na primeira divisão do Campeonato Carioca. Desde então, esteve à beira do campo em 28 jogos, conquistando 15 vitórias, 10 empates e apenas três derrotas, com um aproveitamento de 65,4% dos pontos disputados. Sua equipe ainda balançou as redes 50 veses (média de 1,7 gol por jogo) e sofreu 25 gols (média de 0,8 gol por jogo).

Dentre suas principais conquistas estão os títulos do Campeonato Carioca sub-17, pelo Fluminense, o Sul-Americano sub-20, com o Brasil, e o Campeonato Brasileiro feminino, pelo Santos.

أرتيتا عن هزيمة مانشستر سيتي وليفربول: أتاحا لنا فرصًا كبيرة ولم أعلم بخسارة جوارديولا

أدلى ميكيل أرتيتا مدرب آرسنال بتصريحات بعد فوز فريقه أمام كريستال بالاس في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، وتوسيع فارق النقاط مع مانشستر سيتي.

ويتصدر آرسنال الترتيب بفارق 6 نقاط عن مانشستر سيتي الذي تعرض لهزيمة من أستون فيلا بالجولة العاشرة للدوري الإنجليزي.

وقال أرتيتا في تصريحات نشرها موقع آرسنال الرسمي: “أخبرتُ اللاعبين أنني أقدر هذا الفوز أكثر من أي فوز آخر هذا الموسم، لأننا ندرك صعوبة الأمر بعد اللعب كل ثلاثة أيام، أتيحت لنا فرصة كبيرة أيضًا في ظل ما حدث خلال مباريات هذه الجولة (هزائم مانشستر سيتي وليفربول وتشيلسي)”.

وأضاف: “وكنتُ أعلم أننا لعبنا ضد فريق، برأيي، من بين أفضل الفرق مؤخرًا من حيث التنظيم، ومدى صعوبة اللعب، ومدى الإحباط الذي يسببونه، ولحظة فقدان التركيز، سيعاقبونك”.

حول إصابات ساليبا ورايس وكالافيوري، أوضح أرتيتا: “أولها كان ساليبا الذي اضطر للخروج بعد الشوط الأول، وديكلان رايس عانى من إصابة في الشوط الأول، أما كالافيوري، فلنرى كيف ستسير الأمور”.

وعن حاجة مارتينيلي للعلاج بعد المباراة، أشار: “علينا التحقق من ذلك، فقد شعر ببعض الانزعاج، وقال إنه شعر بشيء ما، لا نعرف ما إذا كانت مشكلة عضلية أم لا، لذا سنوافيكم بالمزيد من الأخبار لاحقًا”.

وعن قرار استبدال ساكا في الشوط الثاني، تابع: “كان مريضًا، ولم يتدرب جيدًا، لذلك لم نكن نعرف ما إذا كان سيشارك، لذا بذل جهدًا كبيرًا ليكون متاحًا، كان الطبيب رائعًا أيضًا في توجيهنا، ومنحنا أفضل فرصة له ليكون في أفضل حالة ممكنة، لذا تمكن من اللعب لبضع دقائق، كلما طالت المباراة، زاد إرهاقه وتعرضه لخطر الإصابة، ولم نكن نريد المخاطرة”.

وإذا كان يمكنه توضيح حالة اللاعبين الذين غادروا الملعب، أجاب: “لا، لأنني لا أعرف، ليس لأنني لا أريد أن أخبركم، بل لأنني حقًا لا أعلم، بالنسبة لويلباك، هناك أمران مرتبطان باستبداله، أما بالنسبة لديكلان، فلا أعرف تحديدًا، فقد كانت ضربة، لكنني لا أعلم إن كانت في عضلة الساق أم في وتر العرقوب أو في أي موضع بالضبط”.

وعن خسارة مانشستر سيتي أمام أستون فيلا، أفاد: لا، لم أكن على علم، علمتُ بالأمر في نهاية المباراة، أعتقد أن معظم اللاعبين أيضًا ممنوعون من استخدام هواتفهم بين الشوطين، لذا آمل ألا يكونوا على علم بذلك، ربما من خلال الجهاز الفني”.

وأكمل: “لكنني أعتقد أنه كان أسبوع إيجابيًا للغاية بالنسبة لنا، خاصةً لأننا قمنا بما كان علينا فعله، وهذا يُظهر صعوبة الدوري، ومدى صعوبة الفوز في هذه المباريات”.

وحول أهمية تفوق آرسنال على مانشستر سيتي بست نقاط، أستطرد: “نحن في مكاننا الحالي، إنه لشرف لنا أن نكون ثابتين في مستوانا، مع إدراكنا لصعوبة كل مباراة، ما زال الوقت مبكرًا، لذا لا يعني هذا سوى مواصلة العمل على ما نُنجزه بشكل جيد، ولكن هناك أمور يجب تحسينها لتحقيق فارق أكبر”.

عما إذا كان هدف إيزي هو اللحظة التي تعاقد آرسنال معه من أجلها، رد: “نعم، بالتأكيد، تسديده للكرة بهذه الطريقة، مشابه جدًا لما فعله العام الماضي، ولكن ضدنا عندما سجل من تلك الركنية، مباشرة على القائم”.

وأتم: “لذا، لديه القدرة على فعل ذلك، ضد فريق يدافع بهذا العدد الكبير من اللاعبين، قوي البنية، لا يترك أي مساحة مع وجود تسعة لاعبين يدافعون عن أفضل لاعب، عليك خلق فوضى أو فتح مساحات لخلق فرص كبيرة، وقد استقبل الكرة والهدف ببراعة”.

The one that got away was Gujarat, but that too could have gone their way with a bit more time. Tamil Nadu have the bonus points system to thank for their place in the knockouts. They won three of their seven games in Elite Group D, the same as group-toppers Saurashtra, but third-placed Chandigarh actually won four games.

Will Tamim Iqbal return for the Champions Trophy? BCB puts the question to him

Tamim has not played an international game since September 2023 but now the selectors are hopeful he will make the trip to Pakistan next month

Bangladesh’s selectors are waiting for Tamim Iqbal to make up his mind about a possible comeback to international cricket ahead of the Champions Trophy next month. The deadline for announcing squads is January 12, and the BCB is willing to wait till the last minute to see if Tamim wants to play. Chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain led the talks with Tamim at the Fortune Barishal team hotel in Sylhet; Tamim is captaining the side in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).Tamim retired from international cricket in July 2023, before reversing his decision the next day after intervention from then Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina. Tamim had a falling out with then BCB president Nazmul Hassan. Both Hasina and Hassan left the country during the anti-government protests in mid-2024 which left several hundred protesters dead.Tamim gave up the captaincy during that run-in with the board in 2023 but returned to play two ODIs against New Zealand in September before the then selectors, led by Minhajul Abedin, dropped him for the 2023 World Cup. That was followed by then captain Shakib Al Hasan blasting Tamim in a televised interview.Tamim Iqbal has been a key cog for Fortune Barishal at the BPL•Fortune Barishal

Tamim has not played an international game since then but continued to play domestic cricket, including winning the 2024 BPL with the Barishal franchise and finishing as the Player of the Tournament. Tamim is currently defending that title in Sylhet, where the meeting with the national selectors took place.”We held a primary discussion with Tamim,” Gazi Ashraf Hossain said. “We have to announce the Champions Trophy team by January 12, so we have a bit of time. We want to let him take time, not be in a hurry to decide. We have spoken to him on behalf of the board. The player has to come to a decision after speaking to his family, friends and well-wishers. He is also in the middle of a tournament so he will need a bit of time.”We have four days left [before announcing the squad]. We have done our homework, so we know how things will shape up. We pay respect to a cricketer like Tamim Iqbal, so he can take his time before informing us. I think it’s fair enough. The board is fine with this, so everyone now has to be patient.”Gazi Ashraf said that ODI captain Najmul Hossain Shanto is in faour of Tamim’s return. “We are always speaking to the captain. He wasn’t however there when we spoke to Tamim. We have spoken to the captain separately about the squad. I think everyone wants Tamim back in the Bangladesh team.”Tamim also recently played in the National Cricket League T20s, where he was the top scorer for Chattogram Division.Gazi Ashraf said that showed Tamim is match fit, though he will have to take a call himself if he can make the step up to international cricket. “There’s a huge gap between domestic and international cricket. A player who is at a crucial juncture in his career, he has to consider a lot of things. I think it will be hasty for everyone to take a call in just one meeting, given that Tamim hasn’t been around international cricket for quite some time.”He is playing the BPL. He played in the NCL T20s. There’s no question about his ability. We are all waiting for his return to the Bangladesh team. He is most welcome from our side. You just have to wait. Let there be suspense.”

Man Utd submit £13m bid to sign "great" Real Madrid player and get reply

da betcris: Still on the hunt for an Andre Onana upgrade, Manchester United have now reportedly submitted an opening offer worth £13m to sign a Champions League-winning shot-stopper.

Man Utd's goalkeeper search still ongoing

da prosport bet: Having already reinforced their attacking options with the arrival of Matheus Cunha and with negotiations ongoing to sign Bryan Mbeumo, Manchester United have turned their focus towards their goalkeeper department.

Onana’s position as Old Trafford’s No.1 has seemed at risk since his debut season and the former Inter Milan man could finally be forced to relinquish his role if United get their wish this summer.

To that end, a number of names have been mentioned as potential options, with the most prominent of which being Emiliano Martinez.

The World Cup winner reportedly prefers a move to Manchester United over Barcelona and could be on his way out of Aston Villa amid their PSR concerns this month.

Meanwhile, what would help speed things up in the goalkeeper department is if AS Monaco complete their move to sign Onana. The Ligue 1 side are reportedly interested in signing the Cameroon international in an unexpected move this summer.

By showing Onana the door, it would almost be a guarantee that Manchester United will welcome another goalkeeper this summer. It would just be a matter of who. As much as Aston Villa will be concerned about their PSR situation, they’ll no doubt be desperate to avoid selling one of Unai Emery’s star players to a Premier League rival this summer and that may leave INEOS scrambling for other options.

If the Villans successfully fend off any interest from United, then the Red Devils could yet reportedly welcome a two-time Champions League winner in the coming months.

Man Utd submit first Andriy Lunin bid

According to reports in Spain, Manchester United submitted a bid worth €15m (£13m) to sign Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid but have since had that offer rejected by the Spanish giants. A deal is still there to be made, however, even if the Red Devils must increase their offer.

Having rejected the £13m offer, Real Madrid are reportedly demanding around €25m (£21m) to sell Lunin this summer in what should be seen as an affordable price for those at Old Trafford to match.

Whilst the Ukraine international deserves credit for how he stepped up for Thibaut Courtois at times last season, there remain question marks over his ability to become a permanent No.1 elsewhere.

It is Lunin’s ability on the ball that stands out rather than his shot-stopping skills according to Ben Mattinson, however. The analyst was full of praise for the Madrid man, dubbing his ball-playing ability “great” albeit whilst also describing the goalkeeper as a “top shot stopper”.

Ruben Amorim wants to sign him this summer.

Although the jury is still out on Lunin, it’s clear that United must replace Onana this summer and doing so by signing a two-time Champions League winner could be the way to do exactly that.
