da casino： Sendo assim, o Tricolor deve receber seu maior público em 2022. Até agora, o jogo com mais torcedores foi o clássico contra o Palmeiras pela primeira fase do Paulistão, quando 46.378 torcedores foram ao Morumbi.

Jogar em casa, inclusive, foi tema nas últimas declarações do técnico Rogério Ceni. Em entrevista à ‘SPFCTV’, o Mito falou sobre a importância dos torcedores neste Majestoso decisivo.

-Esse talvez seja o ponto mais alto. Para nós, são-paulinos, o ponto mais alto é ver o Morumbi cheio, 50, 60 mil pessoas é o que a gente imagina, espera. O apoio do nosso torcedor. E a única que eu gostaria é que todos voltassem felizes para casa. Retribuir o apoio em forma de resultado, levando o São Paulo a mais uma final – afirmou o treinador.

O objetivo de jogar em casa foi alcançado na vitória por 4 a 1 sobre o São Bernardo, válido pelas quartas de final. Como o Corinthians empatou por 1 a 1 diante do Guarani, o Tricolor ficou na frente do rival por conta do saldo de gols (11 a 10) e número de gols pró (22 a 20).

Os números do São Paulo no Morumbi comprovam a importância do estádio. Em casa, foram oito partidas, com cinco vitórias (Santo André, Corinthians, Manaus, Botafogo-SP e São Bernardo), dois empates (Inter de Limeira e Ituano) e uma derrota (Palmeiras). São dez gols marcados e apenas três sofridos.

Com isso, o São Paulo espera que, com o apoio de seu torcedor, consiga a vitória e vá para a final defender o seu título estadual.

Celtic look set to bolster their attacking options before they return to competitive action against Hibernian, who they beat 2-0 at the weekend in the Scottish Premiership, in the League Cup on Sunday.

The Hoops have reportedly reached an agreement with Norwich City to sign centre-forward Adam Idah on a permanent deal, following his loan spell in Glasgow during the second half of last season.

Brendan Rodgers is on the verge of bringing the Ireland international back to the club on a long-term contract, for a fee that could end up being a record for the Scottish giants.

Sky Sports have claimed that the Bhoys have agreed to pay an initial, guaranteed, fee of £8.5m to the English Championship club, with a further £1m in add-ons, alongside a 15% sell-on clause for the Canaries.

If the Hoops end up paying out all of those add-ons then it would make Idah the most expensive signing in their history, overtaking the £9m spent on Odsonne Edouard from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2018.

The 6 foot 3 marksman may not be the only forward to arrive from Norfolk before the end of the summer transfer window, though, as a new target has emerged for Celtic.

Celtic eyeing Norwich winger

According to journalist Pete O'Rourke, the Scottish giants are the latest club to join the race to sign young Norwich winger Abu Kamara this summer.

The reporter claims that the Bhoys are one of the teams 'monitoring' the 21-year-old magician, as Rodgers eyes up further additions to his attack after the deal for Idah is completed.

Earlier this month, Football Insider reported that Premier League side Southampton were preparing an offer to sign the Engand U20 international, but there have not been any further developments on their interest since then.

The same outlet had claimed earlier in the summer that Belgian giants Anderlecht are also keen on a deal to land the former Portsmouth loanee, but added that – at that time – Norwich were 'determined' to keep hold of him.

Football Insider stated, however, that the Canaries would be forced to consider a 'significant' offer for his services, although it is unclear what they would deem to be a significant amount of money for him.

Therefore, it currently remains to be seen whether or not Kamara is a viable target or someone they would like as a priority signing this month.

However, the young English forward could be an exciting addition to Rodgers' attacking options alongside Idah, who he has played alongside at youth and senior level.

What Adam Idah could bring to Celtic

Firstly, the Irish striker looks set to be a fantastic signing for the Scottish giants because he has already proven himself to be a brilliant option in the Premiership.

The 23-year-old striker has also shown that he has the quality and the mentality to pop up in crucial moments to score important goals for Celtic.

His clutch performances for the Hoops won them vital points in the Premiership title race, with two goals in a 2-1 win over Hibernian, two goals in a 3-1 win over Motherwell, and a goal in a 3-3 draw with Rangers.

His most important goal in a Celtic jersey, arguably, came in his final match as a loanee for the club, however, in the 1-0 win over Rangers at Hampden Park in the League Cup final.

Idah was quick to react to Jack Butland weakly parrying Paulo Bernardo's long-range effort back out into danger to tuck the ball past the former England international in the 90th minute – winning the trophy for his boyhood club.

As you can see in the table above, the Irish marksman did not need to start games on a regular basis to find the back of the net consistently for the Scottish giants.

He was incredibly efficient in front of goal during his time on loan in Glasgow, which suggests that he could be a lethal scorer over the course of an entire season this term – now that the striker is poised to join on a permanent basis.

Why Celtic should sign Abu Kamara

The Hoops should now look to reunite him with one of his soon-to-be former teammates by swooping for Kamara before the end of the window, as they could be an exciting pairing in the final third for Celtic.

Kamara has only made four first-team appearances to date but his form for the Canaries at youth level and his performances on loan at Portsmouth last season suggest that he is a promising talent.

The England U20 international was mainly used as a centre-forward by Norwich in their academy and racked up an eye-catching 43 goals and ten assists in 80 appearances at U21 and U18 level combined, including 31 goals in 50 U21 matches in all competitions.

Producing quality in academy football is one thing but Kamara was then able to make the step up and showcased his ability in the final third on loan with Portsmouth in League One on loan during the 2023/24 campaign.

He racked up ten goals and 11 assists in all competitions for Pompey, whilst nailing down a position on the right flank, to help them win promotion to the Championship.

As you can see in the table above, the left-footed magician was a creative threat for Portsmouth on the wing, with 41 key passes and ten assists in the third tier.

Kamara, who was once described as a "really tricky" player by journalist Josh Bunting, has proven that he can create high-quality chances at an impressive right from a wide role, albeit in League One.

Meanwhile, Matt O'Riley (13) was the only Celtic player who managed to assist more than nine goals in the Premiership last season, which suggests that the 6 foot Norwich youngster could come in and be one of the team's best creators if he can translate his form over to Scotland.

Therefore, Kamara and Idah could be an exciting pairing for the Hoops as the English wizard could create the chances for the Irishman to find the back of the net week-in-week-out.

Former Australia allrounder James Faulkner feels disrespected and shattered following a contract saga that has led to his departure from Hobart Hurricanes.Faulkner, 31, will not play for Hurricanes this year, and appears very unlikely to play in the BBL altogether, after turning down a one-year contract offer that he claims was “pretty embarrassing”.Faulkner made the comments on , in an interview with close friend and Australia Test captain Tim Paine who was co-hosting the show.”I found it pretty hard to take when I first heard it on the phone,” Faulkner said. “I found it pretty disrespectful for what I’ve sort of given to Tasmanian cricket. I’ve put my heart and soul into it and to hear their initial offer, and that is what it all comes down to, it cut pretty deep.”I know what I’m worth. I’ve signed enough contracts around the world for different teams. I didn’t want more. I just wanted what was fair and what I thought I was worth and even maybe a little bit less. But it just comes back to that first offer. I didn’t feel respected as a player or a person or a Tasmanian athlete. I’m just shattered how it has all played out.”Faulkner, who last played international cricket for Australia in 2017, joined Hurricanes in his home state of Tasmania ahead of the 2018-19 BBL season after seven years at Melbourne Stars on a three-year deal that finished at the end of last season.Related

• Lamichhane lured back to Hobart Hurricanes in the BBL

He has been plagued by a series of injuries since his international career ended and played just 12 of 29 matches in the last two BBL seasons. Last season he suffered a serious hamstring injury which ended his tournament in December. Faulkner said it was unfair for his injuries to be used against him in the negotiations.”They just used injury the whole time against me, really,” he said. “Last season I had an eight-week hamstring I did at the Gabba and tried to come back in three-and-a-half weeks and put my body on the line to come back so we had a shot at making finals and we weren’t really in the mix at that stage, which I’m happy to do and I’ll always do that. But for the coach to use that against me, I felt was wrong.”He also took aim at head coach Adam Griffith following comments he made at a press conference last week.”When you watch the news, and you see who I thought was one of my mates, as well as the head coach, say the bowling group and the team have performed well without me, first of all, and then secondly saying, we need to move on and that he didn’t really care – that cuts deep,” Faulkner said. “That’s like sticking a knife straight in my back. That’s not called for.Faulkner also claimed the lengthy BBL embargo period on contract signings had left him in limbo.”I’ve had teams make contact but the issue we have is the fact there was an embargo period with Cricket Australia and obviously you can’t speak throughout that,” Faulkner said.”And obviously because the contract negotiation went on for so long teams obviously want to sign their list. So I was sort of left stranded six months down the line. Other lists were full and that’s the big thing that hurts.”I wouldn’t have wanted to play for any other franchise anyway. The whole reason I came to the Hurricanes was to finish here and play in front of my family and friends and play with some of my best teammates that I have great memories with and for that not to happen it’s bloody disappointing.”However, teams, players, and agents are allowed to talk informally during the embargo period and often do. The embargo only applies to binding agreements meaning no contracts can be formally signed.Faulkner will now ply his trade in various leagues around the world. He performed well in this year’s PSL for Lahore Qalandars taking 13 wickets in six matches at an economy rate of 6.50. He will also look to play in the Abu Dhabi T10 and the Lanka Premier League.

Appointment set to be followed by process to confirm new head coach

Matt Roller27-Oct-2021Gloucestershire have appointed Steve Snell, their former wicketkeeper, as the club’s first-ever performance director.Richard Dawson, the club’s long-standing head coach, was appointed as the ECB’s elite performance pathway coach in March, with his assistant Ian Harvey promoted to interim head coach for the 2021 season. The club announced in early August that they would recruit a performance director before appointing a full-time replacement for Dawson, inviting applications from candidates involved in other sports and with backgrounds in talent identification and development. The club captaincy is also vacant after Chris Dent stood down late in the 2021 season.Will Brown, Gloucestershire’s chief executive, said that the calibre of candidates had been “incredibly strong” and revealed the involvement of Michael Klinger, the former club captain, and Mo Bobat, the ECB’s performance director, in the recruitment process, as well as several senior figures at the club.Related

Snell, who made 73 first-team appearances for Gloucestershire between 2006 and 2010, has been on Somerset’s coaching staff since 2014, most recently working as the head of their talent pathway. He has played a role in the development of several young players, including recent academy graduates like Tom Banton, Lewis Goldsworthy and Will Smeed.Gloucestershire said that Snell would be “responsible for delivering success on the field by developing a vision and strategy that puts the team in a position to win titles” and reiterated their ambition to win a white-ball trophy within the next two years, as well as a first-ever County Championship by 2025. Gloucestershire will play in Division One next season, belatedly reaping the rewards of their 2019 promotion.”I delighted to be joining a club with ambitious plans and an extremely talented playing squad and staff,” Snell said. “We have an experienced core group of players which will be looking to build on the 2021 season. Will Brown and the board have made some exciting additions to the squad that I’m confident will help to push the club further forward, and that the supporters will continue to enjoy watching and cheering on.”Gloucestershire is a club that’s rich in tradition but is also an organisation that has exciting points of difference. It’s imperative that we respect the tradition and culture of the club but we also develop our ability to innovate, prepare and develop a cricket team that can achieve sustained success on the field.”Brown said: “We want to win trophies and I’m confident that Steve, working alongside our talented playing and coaching squad, will help us to achieve sustainable success. This is an incredibly exciting time to be a part of Gloucestershire Cricket: we’re a club on the up and we’re looking forward to the challenge of playing in Division One of the County Championship next season.”

High on Manchester United's priority list before the start of the next Premier League campaign, is finding the perfect partner for their jewel in the crown, Kobbie Mainoo.

Mainoo who made 35 appearances in his debut senior season at the club, scored five goals, and provided three assists. His stellar season earned him his first England call up, making the squad for Euro 2024, and even starting four games at the tournament.

This is the level of talent INEOS are working around the clock to find a partner for, so they can fully unlock his potential, and create a midfield for the present and future success of the club.

Man Utd's search for a midfielder

According to a report from TEAMtalk, United are interested in free agent, Adrien Rabiot, who has set his sights on joining Erik ten Hag's side, despite interest from Liverpool and Chelsea in the midfielder.

The reports suggest Rabiot hasn't yet decided his future, as he is looking for a 'lucrative' contract, as it will likely be his last significant contract as a player. The 29-year-old is reportedly after wages similar to Casemiro's £10.5m a year.

Rabiot made 35 appearances last season for Juventus in all competitions, scoring five goals, providing three assists, and totalling 3,012 minutes of football.

A potential Rabiot and Mainoo partnership

Rabiot was said to have the "strength of [Paul] Pogba" by legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, whilst also stating he has the "dynamism of Marchisio". Comparisons to such legendary Juventus players, one of whom is also ex-United, is very heavy praise indeed.

And now it could be time for Rabiot to make the same move as his compatriot, leaving Juventus (as a free agent) and making the move over to Manchester. But how could the Frenchman – who is also a towering presence like the 6 foot 3 Pogba – provide balance alongside academy star Mainoo?

The first standout factor for this duo would be their height difference, Mainoo measuring at 5 foot 9, compared to the lofty 6 foot 4 frame of Rabiot. The little and large duo would provide a good balance for mobility and aerial prowess in the middle of the park, Rabiot averaging 1.83 aerials won per 90.

Both players do like to get forward, ranking in the top 20% for Non-Penalty Goals among midfielders in the top five leagues. Therefore, this could leave gaps in behind, and they would have to form a dynamic of which one sits, and which one attacks the box alongside skipper, Bruno Fernandes.

Mainoo's ability to beat his man, even in tight zones, makes him a powerful weapon further forward, completing 1.46 successful take-ons per 90, and ranking in the top 8% for this metric among midfielders in the top five leagues.

The France international could prove to be a good fit for the Red Devils, adding height, power and dynamism alongside Mainoo – as well as Fernandes – in midfield. However, it would be interesting to see which one takes the more defensive role, or if perhaps a number six was to accompany them in a midfield three.

Whilst the big news out of the Etihad Stadium centres around the stars who could be leaving the club this summer, Manchester City are also set to join the race to sign an in-demand midfielder.

Guardiola could lose numerous stars this summer

Jack Grealish is the latest name linked with a move away from the Premier League champions with the club reportedly willing to let the winger leave this summer.

ByDan Emery Jul 9, 2024

A return to Aston Villa appears likely for Grealish as City attempt to recoup a fraction of the £100million fee they spent on the player three years ago. Joining Grealish on the list of potential departures from the Etihad are City stalwarts Ederson and Kevin de Bruyne. The duo are said to have both received big money offers from Saudi Arabia that may be too good to turn down.

With at least some of Pep Guardiola's star players set to leave, the club are set to compete with their closest rivals for a talented midfielder.

Man City have serious interest in PSG player

As reported by Sport Witness, the Uruguayan press are claiming that Man City are making concrete moves to sign PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte. The outlet states that Manchester United, City and Barcelona have all positioned themselves ready to make a move for the 23-year-old.

Ugarte is currently away with Uruguay at this summer's Copa America, however prior to the tournament, the midfielder made clear his preference to play for United. The arrival of Guardiola's side into the race for the 23-year-old may change Ugarte's mind however, as the promise of Champions League football could be enough to tempt him to the blue half of Manchester.

Ugarte featured 37 times for PSG in all competitions last season as the Ligue 1 outfit once again finished at the summit of French football. During this triumphant campaign, Ugarte stood out as one of the division's best performers in the middle of the park.

Ugarte's performances for PSG have seen him earn significant plaudits from current boss Luis Enrique who said of the player back in August 2023: “He was magnificent, wonderful, with or without the ball. He recovered balls, pressed very high, intercepted balls. He had a 10/10 performance.”

Whilst numerous clubs have boasted an interest in the Uruguayan, there is also the chance that Ugarte chooses to remain at PSG next season. Ugarte only joined PSG last summer in a £50 million move from Sporting CP, and this figure would likely need to be bettered if the 23-year-old is to leave Paris this summer.

With the future of Man City's midfield looking somewhat uncertain going into next season, bringing Ugarte to the Etihad would be a smart piece of business from Guardiola and Co.

South East Stars 108 for 4 (Smith 30) beat Lightning 107 (Smith 4-15) by six wicketsCaptain Bryony Smith shone with bat and ball as South East Stars began their Charlotte Edwards Cup season with a comfortable six-wicket win over Lightning at Trent Bridge.The 23-year-old, eager to add to her four England caps, took four for 15 with her off-breaks as Lightning were bowled out for 107 in 19.1 overs before launching the run chase with 30 off 14 balls as the Stars cruised home with 41 balls to spareLightning struggled against the Stars’ spinners, who claimed seven wickets between them, Smith’s fellow off-spinner Kalea Moore taking 2 for 20 and leg spinner Dani Gregory 1 for 22, with only Beth Harmer (34) and Abbey Freeborn (30) making any impression with the bat.Opting to bat first, Lightning lost Sarah Bryce second ball when she hit Alexa Stonehouse straight to backward point but Beth Harmer, fortunate to survive a fumbled run-out chance on three, gave the Powerplay momentum with back-to-back boundaries off Stonehouse’s left-arm medium pace before pulling right-armer Grace Gibbs for six and four, but Sonia Odedra chopped on to Emma Jones, leaving Lightning 34 for two after six.But Moore and Gregory reduced them from 43 for 2 to 54 for 5 with three wickets in as many overs, Harmer, Kathryn Bryce and Michaela Kirk all beaten by flight and turn.Freeborn injected some pace with successive fours off Moore and another off Smith but the Stars skipper had her revenge, switching to round the wicket to bowl the Lightning batter.Smith then held a return catch to remove Kirstie Gordon and had Teresa Graves caught at wide mid-on in the 18th over, Sophie Munro was run out by Aylish Cranstone’s throw from point in the next before Nancy Harman also hit Smith to wide mid-on as Lightning’s last four wickets fell for 11 in 12 balls.Smith raced to 30 off 13 balls to give the Stars’ chase a flying start, hitting four fours and two big leg-side sixes but was out attempting a third as Kirk leapt to hold a superb catch on the boundary at wide long-on. But the Stars had 64 of the 108 needed by the end of the Powerplay.Alice Capsey picked up three nice-looking boundaries but mistimed one from Sophie Munro (1-25) to be caught at mid-off, Cranstone skied one to mid-on and Gibbs miscued to point to give Kathryn Bryce a second wicket but Phoebe Franklin’s 24 off 29 balls finished the job.

England play Greece on Wednesday evening in the Nations League and interim manager Carsley picked a hugely bold starting XI. In that team, he has picked Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, and Anthony Gordon, with the only holding midfielder seemingly being Declan Rice.

Carsley has explained that the thinking behind the line-up is for fluidity in the forward line, with most of England's attacking players on the pitch, barring Harry Kane, who is injured. As a result of his absence, the new boss has chosen to experiment with a false nine system.

WHAT CARSLEY SAID

Carsley told ITV: "It's given us the chance to try something, to be creative with the system and with, hopefully, the way that we play. We've got to give Greece the respect they deserve, we talk about how exciting and creative we can be, it's important that we also match them physically."

Asked if the system was the same as one he used for the U21s, he replied: "It's a little bit different. Anthony would be a different profile to Jude in the way that he played that role but what we have got with the players on the pitch is a lot of flexibility. You may see a lot of changes tonight."

This weekend, England travel to Helsinki to play Finland in their next Nations League clash. They will aim to head off in fine form.

U.S. international Christian Pulisic, battling the flu, came off the bench and scored twice in 10 minutes on Monday night to spark AC Milan’s dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Torino, sending the Rossoneri back to the top of Serie A. His introduction in the 66th minute proved to be the catalyst for a remarkable turnaround at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

  American makes immediate impact with equalizer

  With the visitors trailing 2-1 despite Adrien Rabiot's spectacular first-half strike, the 27-year-old American needed just 60 seconds to make his mark on the contest. After Alexis Saelemaekers delivered a precise cross from the left flank, Pulisic showed his predatory instincts by arriving at the perfect moment to fire home the equalizer.

• Pulisic completes remarkable turnaround

  The American's decisive contribution came just 10 minutes later when he fired Milan into a 3-2 lead with another clinical finish. In the 77th minute, midfielder Samuele Ricci found Pulisic inside the Torino penalty area, and the forward made no mistake with his left foot, beating goalkeeper Franco Israel to complete the comeback. The goal sent the traveling Milan supporters into raptures and silenced the Torino faithful who had been celebrating what seemed like a comfortable lead earlier in the match.

  The dramatic comeback seemed unlikely after Torino had established a commanding 2-0 lead within the opening 17 minutes. Croatian international Nikola Vlasic opened the scoring in the 10th minute from the penalty spot after a Milan defensive error. Then veteran Colombian striker Duvan Zapata doubled the advantage just seven minutes later with a clinical finish that left goalkeeper Mike Maignan with no chance.

  Milan appeared disorganized defensively until Adrien Rabiot provided a lifeline with a spectacular long-range strike in the 24th minute that reduced the deficit to 2-1. Despite this boost, the visitors continued to struggle creatively until Pulisic's introduction.
