A Federação de Futebol do Rio (FERJ) divulgou em seu site que o clássico entre Flamengo e Botafogo, no Nilton Santos, sábado, foi acompanhado por árbitro de vídeo. A ferramenta funcionou de forma experimental, sem qualquer interferência no jogo.

Sete câmeras posicionadas no estádio foram responsáveis por captar imagens da partida. Oárbitro Bruno Arleu foi o encarregado de observar os lances diante de um monitor, com riqueza de detalhes.

A FERJ anunciou que a expectativa é que mais nove testes com o VAR sejam feitos ao longo do Campeonato Carioca.

Former Premier League midfielder Jamie O’Hara has heaped praise on Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate following the 2-0 victory over Villarreal. 

The lowdown: One foot in France?

The Reds took a giant stride towards their 10th European Cup final and a showdown in Paris with a relatively straightforward win over a resilient Villarreal outfit at Anfield.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was integral in the opener as the midfielder’s cross was deflected beyond former Manchester City goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli before Sadio Mane doubled the lead moments later.

However, it wasn’t a member of the attacking fraternity that caught the eye of one particular onlooker…

The latest: O’Hara impressed

Speaking live-on-air, TalkSPORT show host O’Hara lauded central defender Konate for his display in the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

“We talked about maybe if they got in behind Trent? But Konate tonight was just awesome, he was a machine. There is no weakness.”

Indeed, the 22-year-old won 5/5 (100%) of his aerial duels and 8/9 (89%) duels in total, also making two clearances in a 7.40/10 rated display (Sofascore).

The verdict: Unbeaten

As things stand the French Under 21 international is yet to taste defeat as a Liverpool player when featuring, playing in 23 unbeaten matches since signing from RB Leipzig for £36million last summer (Sky Sports).

With performances such as this, albeit the Reds were relatively untested in a defensive sense, it’s easy to see why Jurgen Klopp held refrained from spending big on a centre-back in January 2021 despite the desperate need for reinforcements.

Konate has been nothing short of a revelation on Merseyside and looks almost certain to play a huge part in what is an exciting run-in on the quest for a never before seen quadruple and beyond.

Crystal Palace host Leeds United this evening as they look to climb the Premier League table with just six matches to go whilst can all but secure their safety with a victory.

The Eagles followed up their Wembley heartbreak in the FA Cup semi-final with a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United last Wednesday night, with manager Patrick Vieira making changes to his team.

Now though, after a five-day break, the Frenchman must resort back to his best possible lineup, with striker Jean-Philippe Mateta leading the line.

On the chalkboard

Mateta was rested in the North East on Wednesday, with out-of-favour Odsonne Edouard getting the nod to start up front against the Magpies.

The Frenchman struggled to make an impact at St.James’ Park and hasn’t found the back of the net for Palace since late January.

As for his fellow countryman, Mateta has been the Eagles’ best striker since the turn of the year, scoring five goals and assisting one in 2022.

The 24-year-old’s form has ironically correlated with his loan move from Bundesliga outfit FC Mainz being made permanent in the January transfer window.

Vieira has chopped and changed his strikers this season, with no centre forward finding consistent form in front of goal that rivals that of top scorer Wilfried Zaha, as well as the impressive Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher.

The long-term Palace servant has enjoyed his best-ever season in front of goal for the Eagles this term, scoring 12 times across all competitions whilst Gallagher is the south London outfit’s second-top-scorer with eight strikes.

With Zaha in support, Mateta can find his best form, with the forward finally starting to find comfort in the red and blue of Crystal Palace after a shaky start to life in England.

The £30k-per-week striker was signed on a season-and-a-half loan from Mainz in January 2021, with former Palace boss Roy Hodgson handing the Frenchman just seven league appearances.

Although, the 24-year-old did instantly boost his popularity amongst the Selhurst Park faithful, netting the first goal in a dramatic 2-1 win against arch-rivals Brighton.

This season, the forward was shut out almost completely, playing just 61 minutes of the Eagles’ first 17 league matches and sometimes failed to even make a matchday squad.

However, once handed his chance at the back end of December, Mateta, who was labelled as “brilliant” by teammate Will Hughes earlier this term, grabbed it with both hands and is now the south London side’s most in form striker and thus must be unleashed against Leeds.

Trent Copeland was a wicketkeeper-batsman until five years ago as he juggled the roles in St George’s third grade side

Peter English10-Oct-2010

Trent Copeland was a wicketkeeper-batsman until five years ago as he juggled the roles in St George’s third grade side. Last season he was the bowling find of the domestic summer after storming to 35 wickets in his first five Sheffield Shield games for New South Wales.As Copeland, 24, prepared for his second campaign as a first-class paceman, his initial aim was to get a game. During the winter that seemed like a particularly tough assignment, but the Blues start the season with Nathan Bracken and Josh Hazlewood injured, Brett Lee focussing on limited-overs games, and Doug Bollinger, Mitchell Starc and Shane Watson in India with the Test outfit. That leaves Copeland with an early chance to impress in Monday’s Sheffield Shield fixture against South Australia.”It was beyond my wildest expectations,” he told ESPNcricinfo of his debut summer. “I never expected to play for New South Wales last year, let alone do so well. I was over the moon. Looking forward, if I can do half as well as that for the rest of my career I’ll be pretty happy.”The late start to bowling came because Copeland was sick of breaking fingers while keeping and didn’t want the injuries to hurt his batting. He started grabbing the ball in the nets, helped the team to a third-grade trophy and the following season was a fixture in the firsts. Now his worries are hamstring strains and stress fractures.”If you look back now it’s a great story, but to me it’s been a natural progression,” he said. “I started to bowl because I didn’t want to get a duck and do nothing for the rest of the game. Since then the bowling has been such an enjoyable thing because you have so much control over what happens.”Copeland runs his own coaching business so was always talking to his charges about the best method to deliver the various options and on the way taught himself. “I haven’t had any bowling coaching until I came into the state squad,” he said. “There are guys that I’ve played with at St George who have helped me, but never really specific one-on-one coaching.”In an era where technique rules, Copeland is a natural player from another age. He likes to swing the ball but at 195cm can also pull back his length and hit the pitch hard. During his half-season last year he showed his flexibility by collecting five-fors in Adelaide and Hobart after his stunning 8 for 92 on debut against Queensland at the SCG. That was his first eight-wicket return since his third-grade days.Copeland has just completed his first pre-season with the Blues, replacing his usual method of keeping fit in winter by playing hockey. Bowling has been his focus but he is desperate to improve his batting. He said he scored 80s and 90s in first grade during his time as an opener, but only managed a top of 9 for his state.”My record from last year doesn’t say I can bat,” he said. “But in myself I know I can.” A lack of runs won’t worry his team-mates, as long as he keeps taking wickets.

Geoff Lawson, the former Pakistan coach, has criticised the PCB and its chairman for failing to provide the strong leadership that the country needs during one of its biggest challenges

Geoff Lawson, theformer Australian fast bowler and Pakistan coach, has criticised the PCB andits chairman, Ijaz Butt, for failing to provide the strong leadership thatthe country’s cricket needs during “one of its biggest challenges.””Even through this crisis we have heard virtually nothing from theirchairman,” Lawson said on ESPNcricinfo’s audio show . “He hides from a crisis, he is not aleader and when Pakistan need a strong leader and people to show them theway forward, they are not getting it from their board.”Lawson said before the appointment of Butt, Pakistan cricket had in place detailed long-term plans to develop the game from the grassroots up.”There were 10 and 15 year plans, plans to build regional cricket academies, fitness, fitness trainers, physios and stocking gyms with better equipment and better pay for the first-class players.”Things in Pakistan changed after Butt took charge, Lawson said. “Afterthe elections in 2008, it took some months with their hung parliament toappoint a new chairman and Ijaz Butt was appointed and really, I just seefrom that instant, there has been a decline in Pakistan cricket.”Before the spot fixing controversy, Butt’s tenure coincided with theLahore attack on the Sri Lankan team, the refusal by other countries totour Pakistan, several captaincy changes, the fallout of the Australiatour with match-fixing and disciplinary charges being levelled on playersand deteriorating relations with the ICC.Last week, Test captain Salman Butt and fast bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were charged under the ICC’s anti-corruption code and provisionally suspended from the game while their case is being heard. However, Lawson said Salman Butt had done a great job with a young side since being appointed captain of Pakistan and that he would be shocked if Salman Butt turned out to be at the center of the spot-fixing scandal.”If it is the case that these young players are being affected, then there is something very bad with the environment in which Pakistan cricket is being played in.”Given the stakes, Lawson said the current crisis is the greatest Pakistan cricket has faced, and unlike previous crises, the team will not have the opportunity to mend fences by playing matches at home once things calm down.”The hearings on Asif, Amir and Salman will be extremely important,” he said. “I hope against hope that things will turn out alright but this is very much a watershed for Pakistan cricket right now.”

According to French news outlet L’Equipe (via Get French Football News), West Ham United centre-back Issa Diop has begun looking for a summer exit. 

The lowdown: Departure on the cards

Having arrived at the London Stadium in 2018 after the Hammers agreed on a then-club record £22m fee with Toulouse (BBC), Diop has struggled to adjust to life in the English top-flight, making 120 appearances for the Hammers.

Since the return of manager David Moyes, Diop has found himself slipping down the pecking order in East London following the signings of Craig Dawson and Kurt Zouma, indeed, he has often found himself on the bench this season.

Previously, a report from the reputable French source has claimed that Lyon were keen on signing the powerful defender and it seems that the move could well be advancing…

The latest: Meeting held

Now, as per L’Equipe, translated by GFFN, the Ligue 1 club are believed to have held talks with the 25-year-old ahead of their Europa League quarter-final defeat at the hands of the Irons.

Under contract until 2023 (Transfermarkt), GSB may well look to cash in on the man once hailed as a ‘colossus’ by Stuart Pearce.

Therefore, it’s claimed in the report that West Ham will look for €10m (£8m) in order to part ways with the six-cap France Under-21 ace this summer.

The verdict: Take the money

Albeit Diop has shown flashes of brilliance during a mixed spell in East London, ultimately the Frenchman has proved to be all too inconsistent to be relied upon by both Moyes and Manuel Pellegrini beforehand.

Whilst the Hammers continue to thrive in Europe in particular, there can be no doubt that the squad is in need of defensive reinforcements in the summer as both Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna return from long-term spells on the sidelines.

However, despite the injuries, Diop has made just 25 fleeting appearances across all competitions this season, only completing 90 minutes on eight occasions in the Premier League, and is unlikely to be offered a new deal by the West Ham hierarchy as Moyes eyes targets elsewhere.

Leeds United have been handed a big boost ahead of their return to Premier League action this evening…

What’s the latest?

Marcelo Bielsa’s side travel to Anfield to face Liverpool, who are chasing down table-toppers Manchester City in second place, and the home side will be without one of their most lethal attackers.

The Yorkshire outfit were beaten in a six-goal thriller by Manchester United on Sunday, another game in which they leaked goals for fun but there is some encouragement ahead of kick-off in Merseyside tonight.

As confirmed by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, they will be without the services of Diogo Jota for today’s encounter.

“No for tomorrow, no chance. For the final, we will see. I really don’t know in the moment. It would be easy to now say no but we will see. They are pushing but they were not on the pitch for training so that is not a good sign,” he said (via the ECHO).

“We have to see what we can do with the boys in the next few days and then we make a decision later in the week. I would love to have Bobby and Diogo available. That will not happen for tomorrow night. It is like it is.”

Boost for Bielsa

This will come as a huge boost to Bielsa and the Whites squad as the absence of Jota makes Liverpool a much weaker prospect and considering the way in which Leeds have leaked goals for fun, it’ll bolster their chances of conceding as many as they did against City (seven) or United (four).

Over the past nine league outings, the Elland Road natives have let in a whopping 28 goals (56% of their season total of 50), which is an average of 3.1 goals conceded per game.

That sort of form is surely amongst the worst in the division and is certainly cause for concern and heavy defeats in this manner will only pull the Yorkshiremen ever so much closer to a relegation dogfight.

Indeed, Leeds are just five points ahead of 17th-placed Watford in the standings and only one team in the whole division has leaked more goals in rock-bottom Norwich City (53).

A frontline of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Jota is a frightening prospect, so to have at least one of three missing is great news for Bielsa and his leaky backline.

The Portugal international has 17 goals in 32 games across all competitions this term with 12 of them being in the Premier League, which leaves him as the competition’s second-highest top-scorer, behind only Salah.

He would be in line to only add to that number if he were available to play at Anfield this evening, so the Leeds boss is surely relieved if not absolutely buzzing.

AND in other news, Bielsa must unleash Leeds’ “unbelievable” 6ft 3 “leader” today, could be game-changing…
