Bidwell was awful for Swansea vs Cardiff

Swansea City’s automatic promotion hopes suffered another blow as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Cardiff City in the South Wales derby on Saturday evening.

Aden Flint’s early goal for the visitors was enough to settle the game at the Liberty Stadium, which ensures that the remarkable statistic of neither side having completed a league double over the other will continue for another season at least.

Watford’s comfortable win over Birmingham also means that the Swans slip further behind in the race for second place in the Championship, as they now sit six points behind the Hornets with nine games remaining.

One man who particularly disappointed in his derby performance was left wing-back Jake Bidwell.

As per SofaScore, the former QPR man picked up a 6.4 match rating for his display, which was the worst of any player from both sides to start the game.

Despite having 40 touches of the ball, the 27-year-old managed just 10 passes during the game, which was the fewest of any Swansea player on the pitch including goalkeeper Freddie Woodman (17) other than Conor Hourihane, who was substituted off injured in the opening 20 minutes. [SofaScore]

Remarkably, Bidwell also played fewer passes than substitutes Yan Dhanda (12), Jamal Lowe (14) and his replacement at left-back Ryan Manning (11), despite all three having less than 15 minutes on the pitch. [SofaScore]

This emphasises just how little influence Bidwell was able to have on the game, which will surely be a massive cause of frustration for manager Steve Cooper, as the defender has been one of Swansea’s most consistent performers this season.

The wing-back also struggled in his battles with Cardiff players, as he was able to win just three of his nine duels during the game, with Cardiff left wing-back Joe Ralls winning seven of his 11 duels by comparison.

Despite being rarely involved, Bidwell still managed to lose possession on 15 occasions during his time on the pitch and was also unsuccessful in both of his dribble attempts, to compound what was a truly woeful display from the 27-year-old.

Morre Alcindo 'Bugre', o maior artilheiro da história do Grêmio

MatériaMais Notícias

Alcindo Martha de Freitas, o “Bugre”, maior artilheiro da história do Grêmio, com 264 gols, faleceu na noite do último sábado, aos 71 anos, por conta de complicações do seu quadro de diabetes. Ele estava internado há mais de três meses no Hospital São Lucas da PUCRS, em Porto Alegre. Dos 264 gols com a camisa gremista, Alcindo, também conhecido como “Bugre Xucro”, marcou 13 em Gre-Nais, sendo um dos recordistas no clássico.

No último mês de julho, o Grêmio realizou uma campanha de doação de sangue junto aos torcedores para auxiliar na recuperação do ex-atacante, que já havia passado por um transplante de rim. Na nota em seu site oficial, o Tricolor exaltou Alcindo, o descrevendo “como um dos maiores centroavantes da história gremista”. O clube ainda divulgou que informações sobre os atos fúnebres serão comunicados em breve.

Natural de Sapucaia do Sul e nascido no dia 31 de março de 1945, Alcindo passou por alguns clubes, incluindo o Internacional, antes de chegar ao Grêmio. Foi emprestado ao Sport Club Rio Grande, retornou ao Tricolor e se profissionalizou. A sua primeira passagem pelo Tricolor gaúcho durou de 1964 até 1961, período em que foi pentacampeão gaúcho (1964, 65, 66, 67 e 68) e ainda defendeu a Seleção Brasileira na Copa do Mundo de 1966, na Inglaterra.

Alcindo ainda passou pelo Santos entre 1972 e 1973, teve passagens por Jalisco e América, ambos do México, e voltou ao Grêmio em 1977, sendo novamente campeão gaúcho. Ele encerrou a carreira ostentando a marca de 630 gols.

Flamengo terá Diego e Guerrero juntos pela primeira vez

MatériaMais Notícias

Quarto colocado no Campeonato Brasileiro e de olho na ponta, o Flamengo terá quase força máxima no domingo, contra a Chapecoense, na Arena Condá. O meia Diego e o atacante Guerrero, maiores nomes do elenco, vão jogar juntos pela primeira vez.

Com 37 pontos, o Flamengo pode chegar a 40, marca do Palmeiras, primeiro colocado que enfrenta o Fluminense, também amanhã.O único desfalque da equipe será o meia Ederson, que ainda se recupera de contusão sofrida diante do Corinthians, pela 13ª rodada.

O técnico Zé Ricardo está animado por poder contar com seus principais jogadores em Chapecó.

– Desde que o Flamengo se dispôs montar um elenco grande, sabíamos que chegaria o momento em que todos estariam à disposição. Estamos disputando duas competições importantes e o desgaste é grande. Esperamos chegar longe nas duas, por isso era preciso fazer o elenco rodar. Essa era a ideia desde o início. Agora, com todos os jogadores disponíveis, vamos pensar na Chapecoense – disse o treinador, ainda justificando a escalação de um time alternativo na derrota diante do Figueirense, pela Copa Sul-Americana.

Será o segundo jogo de Diego pelo Flamengo. Ele estreou contra o Grêmio e fez um gol. Já Guerrero estava suspenso naquela partida. O peruano voltou ao time na última quarta-feir, quando enfrentou os catarinenses e passou em branco.

A dupla de astros terá também o desafio de deixar para trás a derrota em Florianópolis. Os 4 a 2 sofridos no torneio continental deixaram a torcida preocupada, mas há também rubro-negros confiantes pela boa campanha no Brasileiro.

No primeiro turno, o Flamengo apenas empatou em 2 a 2 com a Chapecoense, no Raulino de Oliveira, em Volta Redonda. Naquela partida, a torcida reclamou do desempenho da equipe, que teve dois jovens na defesa: Dumas, que entrou no lugar de Juan, lesionado, e Léo Duarte. O Rubro-Negro era derrotado até os 49 minutos do 2 tempo, mas empatou com gol de pênalti anotado por Alan Patrick.

West Ham to sign Lingard permanently

David Sullivan must strive to reach an agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Jesse Lingard, amid claims of a potential permanent move to West Ham.

What’s the word?

According to TransferMarketWEB, the Irons are adamant that Lingard will stay at the London Stadium beyond his initial half-season loan.

The 28-year-old has proven a huge hit in claret and blue, with Lingard striking five goals and providing three assists in seven Premier League games.

Only against Fulham in February’s goalless draw at Craven Cottage has the England international failed to influence the scoring since leaving Old Trafford in January.

The Red Devils are expected to cash-in on Lingard’s blistering form under David Moyes, with the 24-cap maestro set to enter the final year of his £100,000-per-week contract in June.

Moyes recently declared aspirations of West Ham reaching an agreement with Manchester United to sign Lingard permanently, noting via quotes by the Daily Mail:

“He’s joined a good group of players. We’ve got international players and I’m hoping we can add to that in the coming transfer window. The job is to try to add to that. But I would hope Jesse sees this as a good place if it’s possible to be done, and if we think that we want to do it at the end of the season.”

West Ham were previously said to have sought the inclusion of a £15m purchase clause in the £1.5m loan agreement for Lingard, though Eurosport claim Manchester United rejected the terms as they expect his value to be upwards of £20m this summer.

Should West Ham sing Lingard?

Lingard’s promising early form at West Ham will undoubtedly help Man United set a higher asking price at the end of the season, but Sullivan must strive to strike a deal that sees the Warrington-born playmaker remain in east London.

Lingard hit the ground running for Moyes despite rarely getting a look in at Old Trafford under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season, with the 2017 Europa League winner’s only action before joining West Ham totalling 179 minutes.

Former Hammers head coach Alan Curbishley believes his time spent in the wilderness gave Lingard the fire in his belly to thrive at West Ham, telling Optus Sport: “He has been a revelation.

“He has come into the West Ham side angry because he cannot get into the team at Old Trafford. He has also come in hungry and that’s the sort of player you want.”

Not only has he been a revelation, but Lingard is arguably now West Ham’s most important player, with his intensity in behind Michail Antonio and emerging relationships with the likes of Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen bringing Moyes’ attack together.

Lingard’s ability to cause problems has also been at an unparalleled level, as shown on Sunday when he was alert enough to play a quick free-kick to catch Arsenal asleep, having already produced a sublime finish to fire a half-volley into the top corner from the edge of the box.

Curbishley and Moyes’ comments, plus Lingard’s incredible form, must surely act as distinct messages to Sullivan that West Ham have to seal a deal for the midfielder this summer.

AND in other news, a West Ham ace who joined at the “perfect moment” has seen his market value of crash by £16.5m

Tottenham ‘admit’ they’re signing Vinicius

According to a report by Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã, via Sport Witness, Tottenham Hotspur, and by extension chairman Daniel Levy, ‘admit’ they’re signing Carlos Vinicius on a permanent deal at the end of the season – but they are ‘far’ from paying his €45 million (£41 million) loan-to-buy clause.

Tottenham ‘admit’ Vinicius desire

Vinicius, who Spurs reportedly see as the ‘ideal’ partner to Harry Kane going forward according to this report, is now at the centre of a desire from Levy and co to make his move permanent, but only for a cut price.

Backed by manager Jose Mourinho, who reportedly said the club are ‘doing well’ by going for a ‘realistic’ purchase amount, Tottenham wish to sign Vinicius as a permanent Lilywhites player but only if parent club Benfica accept a lower fee – with Levy reportedly eyeing a cut price move.

Despite originally agreeing to a £41m loan-to-buy clause last summer, Tottenham ‘admit’ their desire for Vinicius but a deal will not happen at that valuation.

Transfer Tavern take

Tottenham chiefs ‘responsible’ for this stance apparently now see the 26-year-old as Kane’s ‘ideal partner’ – backing up a recent opinion by pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor who called Vinicius the ‘perfect player that Spurs need’ for that role (Football Insider).

Time will tell whether Benfica are willing to negotiate a much lower asking price for Vinicius, but Spurs reportedly wish for that to happen as this transfer admission emerges.

Santa Cruz tenta iniciar reação no Brasileiro diante da Chapecoense

MatériaMais Notícias

Em situação delicada no Campeonato Brasileiro, o Santa Cruz aposta na sequência de três jogos que fará em Pernambuco para iniciar uma reação visando a saída da zona de rebaixamento. O primeiro jogo será nesta quarta-feira, às 16h, contra a Chapecoense, na Arena Pernambuco, pela 23ª rodada da competição. Acompanhe o lance a lance do duelo com transmissão em tempo pelo site do LANCE!.

O Santa soma sete jogos sem vitórias no Brasileirão, sendo dois empates e cinco derrotas. Resultados que fizeram o time seguir no Z4, com apenas 19 pontos e na 19ª colocação. Depois de receber a Chapecoense, o Tricolor visitará o rival Sport na Ilha do Retiro e voltará a ser mandante diante do Atlético-PR, novamente em São Lourenço da Mata.

A certeza no Santa é que o time terá desfalques contra a Chapecoense. O técnico Doriva não conta com o volante Derley e o atacante Keno. Eles estavam pendurados com dois cartões amarelos, receberam o terceiro na derrota para o Cruzeiro e, com isso, cumprirão suspensão automática. A tendência é que Jadson e Arthur sejam, respectivamente, os substitutos.

– A equipe tem demonstrado a vontade que tem de sair dessa situação. E nada melhor do que um ótimo público, com nosso torcedor nos empurrando. Queremos nos recuperar de tudo o que perdemos – destacou Doriva, em coletiva.

CHAPECOENSE TAMBÉM TEM NOVIDADES

A Chapecoense faz campanha regular no Brasileirão, tendo sido derrotada apenas seis vezes, e ocupa a nona colocação, com 30 pontos. São seis a mais que o Internacional, time que abre a zona de descenso e sete a menos que o Corinthians, equipe que fecha o G4. A meta da Chape em Pernambuco será seguir afastada do temido Z4.

– A equipe do Santa Cruz está na zona de rebaixamento e a nossa equipe está tentando ao máximo fugir disso. Então, quanto mais a gente somar pontos contra esses adversários diretos, vai ser o ideal lá no final do campeonato. Temos tudo para fazer um grande jogo, com muita consciência tática, e buscar os três pontos – destacou o apoiador Arthur Maia.

E Arthur Maia deverá ser uma das novidades do time para o duelo em São Lourenço da Mata. Então destaque do time, Hyoran foi submetido a cirurgia no ombro esquerdo, o que deverá garantir a presença de Arthur entre os 11. Quem também pode ser titular é o atacante Lucas Gomes, já que Martinuccio também se recupera de lesão.
