Indeciso no gol do Vitória, depois saiu mal em lance que quase originou outro. Depois, não foi testado.

Improvisado na lateral direita, fez o gol de empate e quase não foi ameaçado pelo seus setor. Boa partida.

Quase não foi incomodado. Quando o foi saiu-se bem em quase todos os lances. Jogo tranquilo.

Fabricio
Ótimo primeiro tempo. Deu sorte na “assistência” para o segundo gol, mas a jogada foi belíssima com drible.

Thiago Santos
Estava fazendo o de sempre no meio de campo, depois passou a maior parte do jogo como zagueiro. Bem também.

Tchê Tchê
Incansável como sempre. Marcou e chegou com qualidade à frente. No segundo tempo, ainda puxou os contra-ataques.

Cleiton Xavier
Não apareceu muito. Até conseguiu bons passes no ataque, mas pouco em um jogo em que poderia ter espaços.

Erik
Perdeu algumas bolas no ataque e não criou muito. Poderia ter aproveitado melhor a fragilidade do rival.

Surpreendentemente muito bem pelo lado do campo. Puxou contra-ataques com velocidade e dribles. Criou chances.

Alecsandro
Emocionado desde antes do jogo, fez seu centésimo gol em Brasileiros em boa partida. Teve gol anulado.

Matheus Sales
Muito tempo sem jogar e pouco ameaçado pelo rival. Fez a dele com qualidade, mas tomou cartão amarelo.

A estreia no ano. Travado, como previsível, apareceu no ataque em lance, mas não soube o que fazer com a bola.

Time reserva foi muito bem. Jogada ensaiada que resultou em gol anulado foi eficiente. Depois, outra jogada do tipo.

Time “preguiçoso”. Mesmo com a (pequena) ameaça do rebaixamento. Mexeu e nada mudou.

Celtic haven’t exactly had much luck on the injury front this season.

Of course, it would be hard to put the blame for the Hoops’ disastrous campaign on that alone. After all, their on-field displays at Parkhead have been rather pathetic.

That being said, make any team have to deal with an injury to a player as important as James Forrest and they’d struggle.

The Scot missed a period of 157 days and 35 matches with an ankle problem from September to February and has only just returned from another injury to the same part of his body.

It will be a welcome boost to have the winger in full flow again but one player they’ll definitely be without this week is Scott Bain.

The goalkeeper has been ever-present since John Kennedy was named interim manager but he will miss the clash with St Johnstone on Wednesday due to a finger issue.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Kennedy commented: “Scott Bain picked up a finger injury in the previous game against Rangers. We’re not taking any risks with that. There’s one or two others, again, who we won’t risk. But nothing major, we’re pretty much working with the same squad give or take one or two.”

Bain may not have been the most comfortable between the sticks this term but it still represents a huge blow to have him absent.

The stopper was at fault during Celtic’s battering in Prague during their dreary Europa League run while he could have done a lot better in the recent Old Firm derby.

As Alfredo Morelos bullied Scott Brown to one side and sent a rasping effort towards goal, Bain was beaten all ends up. It was a powerful effort but it still crashed straight through him.

Unfortunately, his absence means that Vasilis Barkas will come into the XI. The Greek has deserved a second opportunity for a while now but he’s hardly been a consistent figure either.

Barkas has also been a calamity in goal and was another to pick up a slice of the blame in Europe.

When Celtic suffered defeat to AC Milan at the San Siro, the ‘keeper somehow let a Hakan Calhonoglu free-kick fly into the side of the goal that he was standing in.

Barkas has lacked authority and thus, the Bhoys defence shouldn’t be overly confident with him behind them either. This will his first start since January so expect him to be a little rusty too.

Kennedy will likely be gutted to lose someone he’s placed so much faith in since being handed the reins.

Plenty of Aston Villa fans have been giving their thoughts on right-back Frederic Guilbert on social media regarding his future at Villa Park.

The 26-year-old spent the second half of the 2020/21 season on loan at Ligue 1 side Strasbourg. Guilbert made 14 appearances for the French side, scoring once and registering four assists.

He’s now set to return to Villa, where he has just over two years remaining on his current contract, worth £40,000-a-week.

The right-back took to Instagram to thank the Strasbourg supporters, with Birmingham Live relaying his post in a story.

They suggested that Guilbert is expected to return to Bodymoor Heath and challenge Matty Cash for the 2021/22 campaign, with Ahmed Elmohamady set to leave on a free transfer.

Villa fans react

@AVFC_News shared Guilbert’s social media activity in a story on Tuesday evening, asking fans if they feel the full-back has a future in the Midlands.

The responses seemed to be split, with a selection of replies available to view below.

“No. Smith doesn’t like him”Credit: @Harry34740948″He really should have a future at VP did nothing wrong was let down by the management way better than Elmo. Should come back and fight it out with Cash next season.”Credit: @DavidWinter81″No, it’s time to sell Guilbert”Credit: @Trev_villaboy”Definitely. We need someone to compete with Cash and Fred was coming along nicely until we sidelined him. And we know that Cash is a bit injury prone and not a stranger to a yellow card, so we need a good alternative.”Credit: @stevesanderstax”Defensively he’s shocking.”Credit: @will_avfc”Yes 100%. I think he was let down truthfully, Elmo needs to go and he needs to come.”Credit: @escapeinpixels

واستطاع الأهلي خطف 3 نقاط هامة أمام المريخ والوصول للنقطة السابعة محتلًا المركز الثاني بترتيب المجموعة خلف صن داونز صاحب الصدارة بـ10 نقاط.

وقال أحمد المحمدي في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “بي إن سبورتس”: “المريخ بدأ أفضل في الشوط الثاني وهذا أعطاهم الأفضلية، هدف التعادل نتيجة خطأ، والأهلي يُعاني من الأخطاء الدفاعية، المسافة بين المدافعين كبيرة جدًا”.

وأردف: “الأهلي لم يظهر بأفضل مستوى اليوم، ولكن عادة الفرق الكبيرة تعرف كيف تفوز بالمباريات، المكسب أعطى ثقة للاعبين قبل الانضمام لمنتخب مصر، ودفعة معنوية قبل مواجهة الهلال”.

In a recent interview, former Rangers defender Michael Ball has tipped Steven Gerrard to allow Ibrox star Alfredo Morelos to leave this summer, which would be a huge blow ahead of next season.

Speaking to Football Transfer Tavern, the 41-year-old pundit said:

“It’s a difficult one, you don’t like seeing your good players or your key players leave a football club, no matter what level, but unfortunately when they start getting in the limelight and doing the business worldwide, clubs do want to come in for these players.

“It’s down to Rangers to accept the figure that they demand and if a club wants to come in and stump up that fee, I think Steven will be happy for him to move on and wish him well. But then give Steven the treasure chest to go and bring in the new players to keep the club moving forward for the next couple of years.”

Morelos has been a key fixture at Rangers since joining the club from HJK Helsinki in 2017, making 182 appearances and contributing an impressive 94 goals and 43 assists.

‘El Bufalo’ also wrote himself into Ibrox history when he broke Ally McCoist’s record of goals for the club in Europe with a goal against Benfica last November, and therefore he is exactly the type of player that Gerrard will be desperate to keep in his squad as they prepare for a return to the Champions League next term.

After he previously equalled the Gers’ European record with a goal against Lech Poznan, Gerrard was full of praise for the forward, saying: “It’s fantastic for him from a personal point of view. Alfredo’s a top-class player, a top-class goalscorer, and it’s fantastic that he’s still here.”

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-rangers-transfer-rumours-and-news” title=”Read the latest Rangers transfer rumours and news!”]

The 24-year-old was also a key player for Rangers as they secured the league title this season, with his 11 goals and three assists in the Premiership helping him to average an impressive 7.20/10 rating from WhoScored for his performances, which was the sixth-best score of any player in Gerrard’s squad.

Although selling the £10.8m-rated forward would raise cash which Rangers could reinvest, as Ball suggests, it would be something of a nightmare to sell their top European goalscorer of all time ahead of the Gers’ return to Champions League football.

[freshpress-quiz id=“593776″]

Therefore, Gerrard must avoid selling the Colombia international this summer if he can, as the 24-year-old has proven himself to be a hugely important player at Ibrox in recent years.

Gloucestershire were indebted to contrasting innings from Ian Harvey and KimBarnett as they edged out Worcestershire by 21 runs in the Benson & Hedges Cup match at Bristol

Mark Easterbrook06-May-2001Gloucestershire were indebted to contrasting innings from Ian Harvey and KimBarnett as they edged out Worcestershire by 21 runs in the Benson & Hedges Cup match at Bristol.Harvey’s sparkling 92 from 64 balls was a limited-overs best for theAustralian, while Barnett made an anchor role 85 from 141 deliveries ina Gloucestershire total of 263-8.Half-centuries from Philip Weston and Anurag Singh led a spiritedWorcestershire reply, but 90 were needed from the last ten overs and itproved beyond reach as they finished on 242-7.Gloucestershire’s fourth win from four games assures the holders of a placein the quarter-finals, but Worcestershire may now need to win their gamewith Warwickshire tomorrow to qualify.The Gloucestershire innings was revived in dramatic fashion by Harvey andBarnett, whose parternship of 126 required only 18 overs.Harvey dominated it with some scintillating strokeplay for the good-sizedcrowd to enjoy. His half-century came from 39 deliveries and he surpassedhis previous best one-day score of 88, made against Sussex last year in theB&H quarter-finals.A century was within his grasp when umpire Nigel Cowley – to Harvey’s cleardisappointment – upheld an appeal by wicket-keeper Steve Rhodes for a catchoff David Leatherdale.Barnett and Jeremy Snape then added 66 in quick time before both departed inthe same Alamgir Sheriyar over.Sheriyar finished wth 4-19, but Stuart Lampitt, Matthew Rawnsley andLeatherdale went for more than 50 runs in their spells.Philip Weston and Anurag Singh gave the Worcestershire reply an excellentstart with a partnership of 150 in 35 overs before the former was caught inthe deep by Chris Taylor off Martyn Ball.Singh, who had survived two chances to Snape and Barnett, finally perishedto a catch by Jon Lewis at long off from the bowling of James Averis.Worcestershire’s hopes then rested with Graeme Hick, but when he chipped acatch to Snape at mid-wicket, there was no way back.

Liverpool have been handed a huge boost for tonight’s clash against Burnley after Jurgen Klopp confirmed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is back in contention and that James Milner may also be fit enough to make a return.

The Reds travel to Turf Moor this evening to take on Sean Dyche’s men in what could prove to be a pivotal encounter for their Champions League qualification hopes.

Klopp’s charges are currently sitting in the fifth position in the Premier League standings, just three points behind fourth-placed Leicester City. However, the six-time European champions have a game in hand over the Foxes, and their superior goal difference means Liverpool are in control of their own destiny.

A dramatic win last time out against West Bromwich Albion, courtesy of goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s injury-time effort, has kept the Anfield outfit’s top-four dreams alive, and now they’ve been handed another significant lift.

In a press conference on Tuesday (as reported by the Liverpool Echo), Klopp revealed experienced midfielder Milner was set to take part in training, while Oxlade-Chamberlain had recovered from illness.

“Milly will train today but is that enough to be involved tomorrow? I will see,” he said. “Ox was ill. Ox is back.”

The potential return of the duo is bound to have Klopp buzzing after having to cope without several key players throughout the current campaign due to injury.

It would allow the enigmatic German manager to field Fabinho in the centre of defence if he so wishes knowing he has experienced heads to call upon to fill the gap left in the engine room, or simply offers him more experienced options from the bench should he require them.

Liverpool’s season hinges on tonight’s result against Burnley, but the return of Milner and Oxlade-Chamberlain is certainly a big boost to their chances, whether either of the duo start or are able to come on from the bench, as tonight has the feel of a game where experienced stars will be more beneficial than raw youngsters.

Norwich City’s Max Aarons is a possible right-back target for Everton in the summer transfer window.

However, according to a transfer update from Fabrizio Romano, he is ‘not close’ to sealing a move to Goodison Park any time soon, with the journalist claiming that ‘other clubs are joining the race’ for the 21-year-old.

The right-back has previously been linked with Barcelona and Manchester United, and according to The Times, it will cost £30m to prise away from Norwich, who have just been promoted as winners of the Championship.

Everton want to dip back into Carrow Road talent pool

It seems as if Everton are in the market for a long-term successor to veteran skipper Seamus Coleman, as the Republic of Ireland international will turn 33 this year.

Aarons has provided two goals and two assists from right-back this season, with match averages of 1.4 successful dribbles and 1.4 key passes per game highlighting his attacking prowess (WhoScored). Coleman has provided three assists in 2020/21 but not found the net himself, while his averages for the other two metrics are 0.8 respectively (WhoScored).

The Blues and the Canaries did mutual business last summer, with Ben Godfrey making a £24.75m switch from East Anglia to Merseyside. Attacking midfielder Kieran Dowell went the other way for a fee of £1.98m.

This year’s transfer window is set to open on June 9.

Everton fans fret over concerning Aarons update

Here’s how Everton fans reacted to Romano’s update on Sunday night, with despair the order of the day from many of the Goodison Park faithful.

Enquanto busca de reforços, o Corinthians também trata sobre possíveis saídas do elenco. Neste sentido, o principal assunto na cúpula alvinegra é o meia Marlone, que interessa ao Atlético-MG. O Galo teve a primeira oferta recusada, mas fez uma nova investida e confia no acerto.

O clube mineiro propõe cerca de R$ 10,4 milhões por 100% dos direitos econômicos. O Timão é dono de 50% do atleta e não gostou da forma de pagamento proposta inicialmente.

A outra metade dos direitos de Marlone é da empresa Elenko Sports e do empresário dele, Reginaldo Duarte. Ambos estão dispostos a concretizar a transferência, que foi pedida pelo técnico atleticano, Roger Machado.

Outro jogador que tem o futuro discutido internamente é Lucca. O atacante recebeu sondagens, mas nenhuma oferta oficial até o momento. A diretoria corintiana foi comunicada de que ele deve receber propostas e pode não se opor à saída dele.

Após empréstimo do Criciúma, Lucca foi comprado pelo Corinthians em março por cerca de R$ 4,5 milhões. Entretanto, ele teve temporada irregular e não conseguiu se firmar como titular.

Desde o fim do Campeonato Brasileiro três jogadores já deixaram o Timão: Isaac, Rildo e Willians, todos em fim de empréstimo.

Leeds United transfer target Boubakary Soumare would represent a major upgrade for Marcelo Bielsa amid reports linking him with a move to Elland Road this summer.

What’s the story?

Reports earlier this year suggested that the Whites were interested in signing the Lille midfielder and it now appears that the club face significant competition in the race to land him.

According to The Daily Mail, it’s fellow Premier League side Leicester who currently find themselves in pole position to sign the French starlet, and the Foxes have opened talks over a potential £21m deal for the 22-year-old.

The report adds that Everton and Leeds both had scouts watching Lille’s game against Lens on Friday, while Newcastle have also held a long interest in him.

Big upgrade for Bielsa

When you’ve got a number of Premier League sides after you, and have even been compared to Manchester United star Paul Pogba, you know you’re a very highly-rated talent.

It’s no surprise then that Lille president Gerard Lopez has previously waxed lyrical about the 22-year-old, saying: “He’s one of the very best at his job. He’s technical, with incredible physical power and wins a great deal of possession. He’s a modern No.6 or 8. We’ll see him in the France team very soon. He’s a clear vision of where he wants to go and he’s working very hard to get there.”

And, his teammate at Lille, former Swansea ace Renato Sanches, said: “He’s a great player. He’s so young and a great talent – a happy and humble guy. I don’t know when he’s going. It’s not my business. But he will be a good player in the future. Even better than now. He’s athletic. He’s fast. He’s strong. He has technique. He’s prepared for the Premier League.”

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-leeds-transfer-rumours-and-news” title=”Read the latest Leeds transfer rumours and news!”]

When you look at his stats, you can see exactly why Bielsa is keen on signing him this summer.

As per Whoscored, his averages of 1.4 tackles and 1.2 interceptions per game in Ligue 1 this season is significantly better than what Mateusz Klich has produced, with the Polish ace’s interception numbers actually a quarter of what Soumare manages (0.3).

The young Frenchman also appears to be more accomplished with the ball at his feet too, boasting more passes per game and at a much higher accuracy, while he also averages more than double the amount of dribbles Klich makes per game too.

With Klich also soon to turn 31 next month, landing the 22-year-old Soumare just seems like a no-brainer for Bielsa and Leeds, both for the present and for the future.

Meanwhile, Radrizzani must avoid making an unforgivable mistake at Leeds United this summer…
