Neste momento, os comandados de Eduardo Bapitsta empataram dois jogos e perderam outros dois, somando somente dois pontos e estando na 19ª colocação.

INTERNACIONAL

Invicto sob o comando de Mano Menezes no banco de reservas, o Colorado busca ascender na tabela depois de um frustante empate na Sul-Americana, fora de casa, contra o Guaireña. Até o momento, a equipe de Porto Alegre está em nono lugar com sete unidades.

Man Utd could revive Bruno Fernandes by starting "monster" £85k-p/w star

da bet esporte: As Erik ten Hag walked around the Wembley outfield holding the FA Cup aloft he was chuffed at proving his doubters wrong. Still, the Manchester United boss could not rest.

da esport bet: Instead of receiving much praise the focus was once again on his future. Are you going to stay at Old Trafford, Erik? Is this enough to keep you in the dug-out, Mr Ten Hag?

It seemingly was enough. United’s new hierarchy, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, kept him at Carrington but the results haven’t changed too much.

Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui look like great captures but their new star of the future, Leny Yoro, still sits on the sideline with an injury.

De Ligt scores against Southampton.

Once they have a full complement of players, it’s likely they’ll be a far better outfit. Will that be with or without Ten Hag? Only time will tell.

After drawing with FC Twente in midweek, the spotlight fell not just on him but the club’s captain, Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese is off the pace and searching for his best form.

Bruno Fernandes' season in numbers – 2024/25

The attacking midfielder is so often the beating heart of this Manchester United team. Last term, he scored 15 goals and registered 13 assists in all competitions.

This season may only be in its embryonic stages but he’s not hit anywhere near the levels we’ve become accustomed to seeing. Fernandes is yet to score and he’s supplied just three assists, of which none have come in league action.

The nadir of his campaign to date has come over the last couple of games. Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst handed the Portugal international a dismal 4/10 rating for his performance in the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace last week. Over the course of the match Fernandes did register a whopping 113 touches but ceded possession a remarkable 34 times.

Of his mega touch hall, he could only supply two key passes to his teammates as well.

It didn’t get much better against Twente in the Europa League. Handed another 4/10 rating by Luckhurst he created just one chance of note, lost the ball 19 times and won just seven of his 13 duels.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast's Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

So, what can United do to get more of a tune from their skipper?

Rasmus Hojlund to the rescue

Since signing from Bologna over the summer, Joshua Zirkzee has been employed as United’s leading man in attack.

He’s showed flashes of brilliance – scoring on his debut against Fulham on the Premier League’s opening night.

However, since that magical introduction to life at Old Trafford the Dutchman has found life difficult in England, failing to score across his next six games which includes that draw with Twente a few days ago and a League Cup thrasing against Barnsley.

So, some time out of the team might be good, yes? Rasmus Hojlund earned his first 14 minutes of the season against Palace last weekend and must now start a league game for the first time this term.

In the words of Gary Neville, he’s “the real deal”, in the words of Ruben Selles – Hojlund’s assistant coach at FC Copenhagen – he is a “monster” profile. It’s one that could just help return Fernandes to his best.

Why? Well Zirkzee has tended to operate in the pockets of space the United captain thrives in, dropping deep to try and help create like a Harry Kane might do. Hojlund on the other hand, runs the channels more often and acts as a man searching for those fluid through balls from the club’s chief creator. The use of their heat maps helps to showcase this very fact.

Zirkzee (left) and Hojlund (right), via Sofascore.

The image above on the left-hand side is Zirkzee’s heat map from this season which shows that his warmest areas are where you’d typically associate someone like Fernandes to work his magic in. On the flip side (right image), Hojlund is far warmer closer go goal, either on the edge of the area or inside the penalty box on a more regular basis. So, the theory is he’d provide more space for the Portuguese in the final third.

Like United’s summer signing, the £85k-per-week Dane is still raw, he’s still young and far from prolific but he did grow into his skin under Ten Hag last term, eventually ending 2023/24 with 16 goals to his name, ten of which came in league action.

There is no guarantee he’ll revive Fernandes but it’s a combination that worked pretty well last season. It’s time to utilise it again.

Um dos jogadores que pode ganhar espaço é o experiente Miranda, ídolo da torcida. Nesta temporada, o jogador soma 13 jogos, com um gol e uma assistência. Ele vem atuando em partidas que o São Paulo utiliza um time alternativo, como foi na fase de grupos da Sul-Americana.

Já o Tricolor vem atuando em um esquema com três zagueiros, como nas últimas três partidas, contra Corinthians, Ayacucho-PER e Ceará. Se a tendência prevalecer, Miranda pode ocupar a vaga de Arboleda e fazer um trio com Diego Costa e Léo. Os jovens da base Beraldo e Luizão são outras alternativas.

-A gente tem o Miranda, que seria o primeiro jogador a entrar nessa função, se nós jogarmos com três zagueiros. Se jogarmos com dois, tem o Léo e o Diego. E vamos ganhando opções como Luizão e Beraldo. Vamos ajustando – disse Ceni ao falar sobre a ausência de Arboleda.

Rogério Ceni terá a semana livre para ajustar a equipe, já que o São Paulo só entra em campo no próximo sábado (04), às 19h, diante do Avaí, na Ressacada, pelo Brasileirão.

Netherlands coach Ryan Campbell remains in a critical condition and under heavy sedation in Royal Stoke hospital in the UK following a heart attack last weekend.Campbell’s family released a statement to the public on Friday morning AWST updating his condition after the former Australia ODI and Western Australia wicketkeeper-batter suffered a heart attack last Saturday in Stoke-on-Trent.”Ryan suffered a series of cardiac arrests last weekend and remains critically ill in the Royal Stoke University Hospital in the UK where he is being closely monitored 24 hours a day,” the family statement said.”He remains heavily sedated which is likely to continue through this weekend.”It is impossible to state our gratitude to the truly incredible staff at the hospital whose skill, care and compassion knows no bounds.”The family would like to take this opportunity to thank all of his friends and supporters around the world for their love and support. As we are sure you can understand it is impossible to respond to all of the messages but we truly appreciate you keeping him in your thoughts and prayers.”We will update you again when we have more news but, in the meantime, we will be grateful if you could give the family some privacy at this immensely difficult time.”

Campbell was put in an induced coma for several days following his heart attack but his brother Mark Campbell told on Wednesday that he had come out of the coma and had made several successful attempts to breathe on his own. However, doctors were concerned about his ongoing arrhythmia.Campbell has been the coach of the Netherlands since 2017. He played two ODIs for Australia in 2002 and had a long and successful career for WA. He also played for Hong Kong in the 2016 T20 World Cup at the age of 44.

Ten Hag can replace Fernandes by unleashing Man Utd’s "machine"

da imperador bet: Manchester United travel to face Turkish side Fenerbahçe this evening in their third outing of this season’s Europa League.

da stake casino: Erik ten Hag’s side are still hunting for their first win in the competition, after drawing their opening two meetings against FC Twente and Porto.

However, the Red Devils will face a tough task in securing three points tonight, coming up against former boss José Mourinho, who will undoubtedly be looking to inflict yet more pain on his former employers.

Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce.

His side come into the fixture after a win and a draw in their opening two outings, with both teams putting their unbeaten streaks on the line in Istanbul.

The European clash would’ve been tricky enough for the United boss, but he also has various issues to contend with throughout his squad, potentially leaving his side light in key areas.

Ten Hag’s midfield dilemma against Fenerbahçe

As well as Mourinho, United will be coming up against a couple of familiar faces in former first-team members Fred and Sofyan Amrabat – with the duo undoubtedly wanting to claim the bragging rights.

Ten Hag will have to pick a midfield to cope with their respective threats but faces a dilemma with limited options available at his disposal.

Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount have both been left out of the travelling squad amid their respective injury woes, whilst Bruno Fernandes will have to sit out the clash after his dismissal against Porto last time out.

Casemiro was substituted in the weekend’s victory over Brentford at Old Trafford with a suspected injury, but the Brazilian has travelled with the Red Devils – an indication that his withdrawal on Saturday was just a precaution.

The 32-year-old remains just one of a handful of midfielders who are able to feature in Turkey this evening, with the former Real Madrid hopefully looking to build on his influential display against Thomas Frank’s side.

As a result of the various absentees, he could be joined by a new partner at the base of the side, potentially providing that added bite in what will be a feisty affair.

The man who could replace Fernandes tonight

There’s no denying that Ten Hag’s side will miss the qualities of Portuguese international Fernandes tonight, but there’s more than enough quality in the Red Devils’ midfield department to cover for the 30-year-old.

However, it could lead to a slight reshuffle, with Christian Eriksen likely to push slightly further forward and operate in the number 10 role, opening up an opportunity for summer signing Manuel Ugarte to start from the off.

The Uruguayan, who cost the club a total of £50m including add-ons, has only started three times since his big-money transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, but tonight could hand them the perfect chance to kick start his United career.

Ugarte, who’s previously been dubbed a “machine” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, has a lot of qualities, with his ability out of possession allowing Ten Hag’s side to dominate the midfield against Mourinho’s men.

In his only previous Europa League outing for his new side, the 23-year-old started and completed the whole 90 minutes against FC Twente, producing some phenomenal numbers.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast's Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

The midfielder made four tackles, whilst winning six duels and making two interceptions – providing a real solid base at the heart of Ten Hag’s midfield – something which his side will desperately need without Fernandes involved.

With all eyes set to be on the midfield amid the presence of those familiar faces in Amrabat and Fred, it could well be crucial to utilise the ball-winning presence of Ugarte to help dominate that experienced pairing.

In Ligue 1 last season, the one-time Sporting CP star averaged a mammoth 5.5 tackles & interceptions per game, far ahead of what Fred (2.9) and Amrabat (1.7) achieved in the Super Lig and Premier League, respectively, for that same metric in 2023/24. As such, United’s new man could well be the difference-maker to help get a stranglehold on the game in the centre of the park.

Fred and Sofyan Amrabat

The meeting tonight is huge for United as they look to secure their first European win of the 2024/25 season and push for a place in the knockout stages of the competition.

Whilst injuries and suspensions have plagued the first-team squad, Ten Hag now has the perfect opportunity to unleash Ugarte, giving the youngster the platform to demonstrate why they paid such a sizeable fee for his services this summer.

-Temos que nos adaptar a competição. É mata-mata e não podemos errar. Nesses jogos, nossa equipe entra com um nível de concentração altíssimo. Temos que manter isso ao máximo, acreditando que podemos surpreender.

-Temos estudado bastante o time deles. Estamos nos preparando muito forte, com semana cheia (…) Vai da gente mesmo de fazer um algo a mais, se alimentar bem, se recuperar bem, para estar o mais perto possível dos 100% – acrescentou.

Liverpool targeting key signing in January as FSG now make funds available

da luck: Liverpool will reportedly be in the market for a key signing in the January transfer window, with FSG now making funds available after a quiet summer.

Liverpool short in key positions

da dobrowin: The Reds couldn’t have asked for a better start to life under Arne Slot, with the Dutchman making a seamless transition at Anfield, filling the void left by Jurgen Klopp impressively. Liverpool are top of the Premier League, excelling in the Champions League and have made it into the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, so there is understandable positivity on show at Anfield currently.

That said, there was plenty of dissatisfaction about the lack of transfer business on show during the summer, with only Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa joining the Reds. The former has remained on loan at Valencia for this season, while the latter was a surprise signing who hasn’t yet got going at his new club.

Many supporters were desperate to see a No.6 come into Liverpool’s midfield, with a move for Real Sociedad hero Martin Zubimendi falling through, while others felt an extra centre-back was needed, given Ibrahima Konate’s injury record and the fact that Virgil van Dijk is now 33 years of age.

Liverpool target defender in January

According to a new report from Football Insider, Liverpool will look to sign a centre-back in January, with money set to be “available for the Reds in the mid-season window after their quiet summer”.

The update goes on to add that “Liverpool chiefs see January as an opportune time to strengthen as they bid to keep their Premier League title challenge on track”, with Michael Edwards and his transfer team “doing their due diligence on a potential centre-back signing in the new year”.

This will be music to the ears of many Liverpool fans, with the need for another centre-back evident during the summer, even though it hasn’t been an issue so far this season.

That’s because Konate and Van Dijk have been almost ever-present for the Reds in 2024/25 to date – the former was forced off at half-time in the 2-1 win at home to Brighton last weekend – but there is always the risk of an injury to one, especially the Frenchman.

Jarell Quansah showed in the opening game of the league season at Ipswich Town that he is still a work in progress, having been hauled off by Slot at the break, while Joe Gomez was excellent against Brighton, but has been playing as a full-back more than a centre-back in recent years.

Bringing in a new face makes complete sense for Liverpool, allaying the threat of an injury to Konate or Van Dijk derailing their Premier League title charge.

Liverpool thought they had the next Alonso before he was sold for just £6m

ByAngus Sinclair Nov 4, 2024

Whoever comes in shouldn’t be a short-term fix, however, instead being seen as a potential long-term replacement for Van Dijk, and perhaps even someone capable of playing at left-back as well, following Andy Robertson’s dip in form this season.

Injury update on "brilliant" Sheffield Wednesday ace before Steel City derby

da bwin: After returning to winning ways with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Norwich City, Sheffield Wednesday have been handed a much-welcomed boost on the injury front ahead of this weekend’s Steel City derby.

Sheffield Wednesday injury news

da betano casino: The Owls have endured a mixed spell of form as of late. Whilst they were on the receiving end of a 6-2 thrashing at the hands of Watford last weekend, they bounced back on Tuesday night with a much-needed victory over Norwich, courtesy of goals from Josh Windass and Dominic Iorfa. Now, with those three points, Danny Rohl’s side sit 13th and six points adrift of the Championship’s dropzone.

That victory has come at the perfect time too, given that Sheffield United and the Steel City derby await this weekend. In a crucial clash against their rivals, Wednesday will be looking to upset the odds and spoil the Blades’ early promotion pursuit. Ahead of such an important game, it’s not just the three points that handed Rohl a major boost, either.

Sheffield Wednesday got back to winning ways in the Championship with a 2-0 win over Norwich City.

ByKelan Sarson Nov 6, 2024

As confirmed by the manager, Iorfa is likely to be fit to face Sheffield United this weekend despite going off with an injury against Norwich on Tuesday night. Rohl told reporters, as relayed by The Star: “It’s always a decision, and you never know what happens. But he showed me immediately after the game that he’s ok.

“Let’s see in the next few hours, but I think he’ll be ready for the game at the weekend. I’m happy that he scored, I think that’s also a good reaction from him.”

Without a win at Bramall Lane since 2009, Sheffield Wednesday need all the help they can get which makes the news of Iorfa’s injury relief an even greater boost for Rohl and his side.

"Brilliant" Iorfa still a key man at Sheffield Wednesday

At the club since 2019, Iorfa remains an important figure at Sheffield Wednesday and will be crucial if Rohl’s side are to cause an upset against Sheffield United this weekend. The central defender even showed off his goalscoring exploits against Norwich in another string to his bow.

Well aware of his teammates’ importance for some time, Barry Bannan was previously full of praise for Iorfa, saying via The Star: “He’s brilliant. I said it earlier on in the season as well, since he’s come in and played centre-half he’s been unbelievable, he’s like a man mountain. He’s driven us forward, he’s made box headers. He’s at the top of his game at the minute.”

Still just 29 years old, the defender is likely to continue his impact for a few more years yet to keep Sheffield Wednesday afloat in the Championship and perhaps push them onto mid-table comforts.

Before those ambitions, however, Iorfa will have his sights on ending a nightmare run at Bramall Lane following the news that he avoided a serious injury against Norwich on Tuesday night. The Steel City derby, as ever, will be one to watch.

Celtic kit agreement with Adidas – both parties planning to extend

Currently, Celtic are coming to the end of a five-year partnership with Adidas, who took over creating and manufacturing first team kit, training wear and supporter replica kits. The Hoops were previously with New Balance, however, back in 2020, Celtic described the deal with Adidas as magnificent and stunning, adding that a deal ‘is believed to be the biggest kit sponsorship ever to be announced across Scottish sport’.

However, with just months remaining in their partnership and plans needing to be put in place for 2025, Footy Headlines have now reported that Celtic and Adidas are planning to extend their deal. Both parties are seemingly happy to carry on their partnership, however, Footy Headlines ‘have no information as to how many seasons the deal will be extended for’.

Elsewhere, Footy Headlines have also claimed that Adidas is considering adding more teams to the ‘Elite Team’ category, one of which could be Celtic who are currently graded ‘B’. In 2023, Celtic generated an impressive £29m through kit sales, placing them in the top 20 in Europe.
