ESPANTO COM FALTA DE ATITUDES DA CBF (SENADOR CARLOS PORTINHO, PL-RJ)
– Ele (Textor) é um mensageiro. A todos aqueles que nos assistem, que tenham denúncias para fazer, que essas denúncias ao menos tenham indícios, e há indícios, elementos técnicos apresentados pelo John Textor, há conteúdo. Me espanta como a CBF, que é a maior responsável pela integridade do futebol do Brasil, não foi a fundo. Como é que o STJD, que tem excelentes advogados contratados como auditores, não foi a fundo nisso. Há elementos técnicos, há conteúdo, há razões para investigar.

– O que o John Textor nos trouxe aqui podem não ser provas concretas, mas não tenho dúvida de que é fundamental que sejam essas investigadas para preservação da integridade e, para aqueles que pensem em fraudar resultados esportivos, desistam. Aqui, se todo ano tiver que abrir uma CPI, vamos estar aqui. Hoje, o que nos traz a inteligência artificial, a tecnologia… Quem resistir à tecnologia será atropelado pela história. Deve ser dado crédito a todo material aqui produzido, como nós daremos.

– Se você (falando em direção a Textor) estiver 100% certo ou 100% errado, já valeu, porque vamos sair dessa CPI com diagnóstico e propostas para melhoria do futebol brasileiro. Aprovamos a Lei das Apostas, mas o Estado ainda não está preparado para combater a manipulação. O que você nos traz é no mínimo um alerta, uma advertência, de que o Governo, a Polícia Federal, o MP e as confederações precisam se preparar rápido, porque há casos de má interpretação da regra do jogo, há casos de edição do VAR, do que é passado na TV e há casos de comportamento de atletas que eu, sozinho, considero um indício.

INDÍCIOS PARA INICIAR INVESTIGAÇÃO (SENADOR JORGE KAJURU, PSB-GO)
– Tivemos conhecimento de diversos indícios, não queremos falar ainda em provas. Indícios importantíssimos, não participamos de mais de uma hora sem conteúdo, pelo contrário, teve conteúdo. Só temos a agradecer a toda a equipe, com gente qualificada, sem fazer acusações, apresentando tudo, com detalhes, com riqueza, mas que consideramos como indícios. Não se tratou apenas do CEO do Botafogo vir aqui só trazer fatos ou indícios envolvendo seu clube, ele falou de outros jogos, mostrou outras imagens. Temos indícios suficientes para investigarmos profundamente e independentemente e chegarmos a conclusão de quem mais queremos nas próximas reuniões.

COBRANÇA À CONFEDERAÇÃO BRASILEIRA DE FUTEBOL (CBF)

SENADOR EDUARDO GIRÃO, NOVO-CE
– Os indícios transcenderam a questão do comportamento dos jogadores, foram também para a questão do VAR, da análise de imagens supostamente negadas e que precisamos entender porque que isso aconteceu, entender o que a CBF tomou de providências em relação ao que vimos, em termos de punição, inclusive. Estamos aqui para proteger o futebol brasileiro e buscar a verdade.

SENADOR JORGE KAJURU, PSB-GO
– Apenas dizer aos jogadores, técnicos, dirigentes, árbitros, enfim, todos os envolvidos que podem ser amanhã investigados ou condenados, que prestem bem atenção nessas duas palavras: inteligência artificial

SENADOR ROMÁRIO (PL-RJ) PARABEZINA TEXTOR PELA CORAGEM
– Parabenizo o sr. John Textor pela coragem de ter vindo aqui e falado o que falou e, principalmente, o que vai fazer nessa chamada reunião secreta. Muitos lá atrás duvidaram e não acreditaram que o senhor teria provas. Inclusive ouvi muitos o chamarem de fanfarrão e mentiroso. Acredito que com sua capacidade e inteligência de demonstrar o que tem será de grande relevância para essa CPI, para o futebol e para o nosso país.

COBRANÇA COMO TORCEDOR (SENADOR DR. HIRAN, PP-RR)
– Quero pedir ao senhor, como botafoguense há mais de 40 anos, que contrate rapidamente dois zagueiros, porque Lucas Halter e Bastos ali estão fazendo a gente sofrer do coração. Por favor, fica um apelo de um botafoguense.

– Quero agradecer a presença do Sr. John Textor nessa audiência. As evidências são muito claras de que precisamos nos aprofundar com muita seriedade nessas investigações. Acho que isso se tornará público no futuro e os jogadores quando virem o que nós vimos ali vão pensar duas vezes antes de arrumarem resultados.

Real Madrid make Rodrygo stance crystal clear to Arsenal as Berta prepares January bid

Arsenal are believed to be preparing a January bid for Real Madrid star Rodrygo, with sporting director Andrea Berta given some real encouragement that it can be done.

Rodrygo poised for January exit after Real Madrid snubs

Rodrygo is a very familiar name to Gunners supporters.

Berta and co held some talks about signing the Brazil international last summer, according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, before opting for Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze instead.

While that door ultimately slammed shut in the last transfer window, Arsenal could yet be given another chance to land the versatile £282,000-per-week forward, who’s steadily falling out of favour under Xabi Alonso.

Rodrygo has started just three out of his last 12 La Liga matches, playing 330 minutes in total, and this is a far cry from how pivotal he was for Carlo Ancelotti.

Scoring 14 goals and registering a further 11 assists over 54 appearances in all competitions last term, Jude Bellingham is also on record calling Rodrygo their most ‘gifted’ and ‘underrated’ player.

However, Alonso clearly doesn’t see it that way, and credible reports now suggest that a January exit is very much on the cards for Rodrygo as he vies for consistent playing time.

Chelsea and Tottenham have also been linked with the 24-year-old, and it is believed by some that he is ‘on the brink’ of leaving the Bernabeu with England a very viable potential destination.

Arsenal preparing January bid for Rodrygo with Real Madrid stance clear

CaughtOffside now have an update on his future, and it partly concerns Arsenal.

Real Madrid's Rodrygo

According to their information, Arsenal are preparing a January bid for Rodrygo, and sporting director Andrea Berta, alongside other interested parties like Liverpool, have been informed about Real’s stance.

Los Blancos will consider selling the ex-Santos sensation next month, provided they get a suitable offer, with Real demanding around £75-80 million.

Arsenal and Liverpool are also named as the lead contenders to strike a winter deal, and it could make sense considering the uncertainty surrounding Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

As things stand, both men are out of contract in 2027. There’s also been little in the way of talks over extensions, despite both of their impressive contributions this season.

Rodrygo would be an absolutely stellar replacement for either or both, but given Arsenal are never usually active in January when it comes to big-name, marquee deals, it would also be a very surprise coup midway through the campaign.

Harmanpreet and Mandhana hope India 'break the barrier' for maiden World Cup glory

Captain Harmanpreet believes “fearless cricket” is the reason for the team’s success in recent times

Vishal Dikshit11-Aug-20250:45

Harmanpreet on her 171*: ‘A lot of things changed in women’s cricket’

India’s senior duo of Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana is banking on the team’s recent form, collective confidence and their changed methods of preparation to “break the barrier” and lift India’s maiden ODI Women’s World Cup.The 2025 tournament, which features eight teams, will kick off on September 30, with India taking on Sri Lanka in the opening game. India failed to make the semi-finals of the last ODI World Cup, in 2022. Their best result at an ODI World Cup so far has been the runners-up place – twice, in 2005 and 2017, both times under Mithali Raj. They will hope to go one step further with home advantage and recent form on their side.”Playing in front of a home crowd, that is always special, and hopefully, this time we will give our 100% and try to break that barrier which all Indian fans and we are waiting for,” Harmanpreet said at an ICC event in Mumbai to start the 50-day countdown for the World Cup.India have had a good ODI year so far, having won nine of their 11 games. The results include a 3-0 whitewash of Ireland, a tri-series victory in Sri Lanka (also featuring South Africa), and most recently, a 2-1 series win in England, who are ranked second in ODIs.Related

India are shedding their over-dependency on Mandhana and Harmanpreet

What are India’s confidence levels like right now heading into the World Cup? “To be honest, very high – because the amount of cricket we have played in the last couple of years, that has really given us a lot of confidence. And touchwood, the way we are playing [for] the last couple of years, we just want to continue with that. I think it is all about mindset and [the] fearless cricket we have been playing,” Harmanpreet said.The ODI series win against England also followed a 3-2 T20I series win – India’s first such win on English soil.”We were not surprised with the results [in England] because we knew the kind of preparation we have done,” Harmanpreet said. “We knew that we can do this easily. I think we have been working very hard for it, but I think at the same time, we kept things very simple, and we knew that we can easily win any series or any tournament. We were only talking about how we can win, how we can improve ourselves. So, for us, it was not like we have done something great. [The result] was because of our routines and we want to keep doing the same things, again and again.”Mandhana, the vice-captain in white-ball formats, said the recent team form was a result of their off-field preparations.”The amount of training we are doing and the efforts we are putting in our training camps, that is finally giving us a result and hopefully this World Cup will be very special for us,” she said. “In the last one-and-a-half month in UK, I just felt that a lot of things. Even off the field was very right about the team, in terms of how everyone came together and we, as a team, are really big on it in terms [of how] we are working hard here each day, day in, day out.1:37

Rodrigues’ memories of the 2017 World Cup as a 16-year-old

“For all the youngsters to come in… and I remember Kranti [Goud] taking six wickets [in the third ODI], I mean to watch her go was just amazing. So sometimes, the environment kind of really helps all of them.”Mandhana has had a dream run since last year, with a tally of 747 in 2024 (average 57.46) and 628 (average 57.09) this year, with a higher strike rate of 107.53 in 2025 compared to 95.15 in 2024. She has struck 12 sixes this year, the most for her in a calendar year, and she is also the highest scorer in ODIs in 2025.”I think more than my mindset, the work ethics have changed quite a lot in the last two or three years,” Mandhana said. “And because of that, there is a lot of calmness around how I want to go about my cricket. So that’s one thing which has changed massively. What happens in the field is a very secondary thing. Our primary job is to do the job. And not only for me – I think the whole team is heading into that direction, [where] we know where we actually have to work hard. So, we all are pretty clear with those sort of things. And that creates a lot of calmness.”I would say that in the last one-and-a-half-odd years, that’s been a massive change for me personally, and also, within the team.”The team’s recent change in regime and mindset has led to a winning streak this year•ICC/Getty Images

India have another assignment before the World Cup – a three-match ODI series at home against defending champions and world No. 1 Australia, which will finish just ten days before the World Cup kicks off.”Well, whenever we play against Australia, that is always challenging because they are very competitive and you always have to know where you are standing, and what are the areas you need to improve [on] as a team,” Harmanpreet said. “I think right before the World Cup, that series is going to give us a lot of clarity, and hopefully along with that, we will play our best cricket, and I think the same momentum will continue before the World Cup.”Australia had, however, failed to make the final of the T20 World Cup last year, which New Zealand won. To see two teams apart from Australia in the final was a welcome change, Harmanpreet said.”Now every team has improved a lot,” she said. “You don’t know which team is going to be there in the top four. So, I think that is something which is really good because earlier, as Smriti said, they were very dominating. One team was always sure they are going to play in the finals. But right now, it’s always open, so it’s only about playing good cricket on that particular day and giving your best.”

Arne Slot sends message about Anfield atmosphere after Liverpool fans spotted leaving early

Arne Slot heaped praise on the Liverpool fans at Anfield after some were spotted leaving early during their Carabao Cup defeat to Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

The under-fire Dutchman does not believe Liverpool’s sixth loss in seven matches has increased the pressure on his team ahead of this weekend’s clash with Aston Villa. The Premier League champions won seven straight matches in all competitions as they bounced back from their shoot-out loss to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield.

But that run came to a halt with a late defeat to the Eagles at Selhurst Park a month ago, sending the Reds into a spiral that they have yet to climb out of.

Palace got the better of Liverpool for the third time this season in Wednesday’s 3-0 Carabao Cup fourth round win at Anfield as Slot’s decision to leave out stars and make 10 changes backfired.

Joe Gomez, Wataru Endo and Alexis Mac Allister were the first-team players deployed in a team of mostly youngsters, but the senior stars were some of Liverpool’s lowest rated players against Palace.

Liverpool player ratings v Crystal Palace: Slot's first-team stars worse than youngsters

It was an evening to forget for a young Liverpool side.

ByTom Cunningham Oct 29, 2025

Fans were spotted leaving the stadium as early as the 70th minute, but the Dutchman said he had no regrets and brushed aside the suggestion it had increased the pressure heading into Saturday’s return to Premier League action at home to Villa, with Man City and Real Madrid also to come in the next ten days.

“I don’t think it’s possible if you lose five out of six that there’s now after six out of seven even more pressure,” Slot said.

“If you’re on a run of results like this, if you play for Liverpool, if you manage Liverpool, you know the pressure is there and I don’t think it has changed much after this loss.

“But if it did then maybe the most positive thing about tonight was that the position we were in, 2-0 down and we weren’t really pushing for a goal because we weren’t able to, the fans were behind the team, were supporting us.

“That gives me the feeling that Saturday when our players will show how much it means to them, our fans will be incredibly supportive for us Saturday.

“But, again, we face a team that has rested in the week to play us, and that’s Villa.”

Liverpool could be boosted by the return of midfielder Ryan Gravenberch against Villa following an ankle issue, but British record signing Alexander Isak remains a doubt with to a groin complaint.

Slot's treatment of Liverpool star is a "sackable offence"

ستوريدج يدعو سلوت لتجربة جديدة أمام ليدز يونايتد حال غياب محمد صلاح

وجه دانييل ستوريدج مهاجم ليفربول السابق رسالة للمدرب آرني سلوت بشأن التشكيلة التي سيعتمد عليها في مواجهة ليدز يونايتد غداً في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وكان ستوريدج قد أبدى تألمه لرؤية النجم المصري محمد صلاح يجلس على مقاعد البدلاء، في مباراتين متتاليتين أمام وست هام يونايتد وسندرلاند.

وقال ستوريدج لشبكة “سكاي سبورت”: “إذا كنتم ستتركون صلاح خارج التشكيل مرة أخرى، فقم بتجربة خيار مختلف، وألعب بفيرتز واعتمد عليه في مركز الرقم 10 خلف إيزاك وإيكتيكي معاً، لنرى ما إذا كان سيفتح بعض الأبواب ويساهم في صناعة بعض الفرص”.

ونفى ستوريدج ما يتردد عن رحيل صلاح في يناير على الرغم من عدم رضاه، وأشار لوجود مشاكل في جاهزية لاعبي ليفربول مثل فيرتز وإيزاك والذين يحاولون استعادة مستواهم.

واختتم: “بشكل جماعي يجد اللاعبون إيقاعهم لكن الفريق يجد إيقاعه أيضاً، من المرجح أن العديد من الأشخاص بمن فيهم المدرب يبحثون عن الثقة”.

Wolves register interest in January loan deal for Real Madrid "goal machine"

Wolverhampton Wanderers have now registered their interest in signing Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Garcia on loan in the January transfer window, alongside a whole host of rival Premier League clubs.

Fosun would’ve been hoping Rob Edwards could breathe new life into a Wolves side that have massively disappointed so far this season, but the manager was on the receiving end of a defeat in his first match in charge, with Crystal Palace emerging as 2-0 winners at Molineux on Saturday.

Edwards’ side actually looked better from an attacking point of view, recording an xG of 1.79, compared to 1.27 from the Eagles, but they were unable to take their chances, with both Jhon Arias and Ladislav Krejci squandering big opportunities.

Things are looking bleak for the Old Gold, who are still searching for their first win of the Premier League season, and now sit nine points from safety, given that they have the worst attacking and defensive records in the top flight, scoring seven and conceding 27.

As such, if the Wanderers are to stand any chance of avoiding the drop, they may need to make major improvements at both ends of the pitch in the upcoming transfer window, and they have now made an approach for a new centre-forward.

Wolves make approach to sign Gonzalo Garcia on loan

According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, in a report for Football Insider, Wolves are one of a number of clubs in the race for Real Madrid forward Garcia this January, although it remains to be seen whether they will be willing to sanction a departure.

The Spanish side are concerned about a lack of attacking depth, which means they may not be willing to let the 21-year-old leave, despite several English sides queuing up to get a deal done, with O’Rourke saying: “If Real Madrid are willing to loan him out, I’m sure it’s more than just Leeds will be interested in him. I believe Brighton, Villa and Wolves have all registered interest.

“A lot will depend on Real Madrid. If there’s any injuries to their forwards then it might mean there’s no chance that Garcia goes out and loan.”

Hailed as a “goal machine” in the media, the youngster clearly has a lot of potential, having starred for Madrid at the Club World Cup in the summer, bagging four goals and an assist in six outings out in the USA.

Wolves are in dire need of a fresh injection of quality in attack, having failed to score in four out of their last five Premier League games, with Jorgen Strand Larsen failing to impress, finding the back of the net just once in 10 top-flight outings.

As such, a move for Garcia would make sense, but it will be strange if the Real Madrid ace is willing to move to a club in huge danger of relegation, given that there is likely to be plenty of other options on the table.

James Anderson, England’s all-time leading wicket-taker, has received his knighthood from Princess Anne during a ceremony at Windsor Castle.Anderson, 43, was named in former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s resignation honours list in April for services to cricket, having brought the curtain down on his 21-year, 188-Test career at Lord’s in July 2024.He finished with 704 Test wickets, the most ever taken by a pace bowler, and behind only spinners Muttiah Muralitharan (800) and Shane Warne (708). He claimed a further 269 in ODIs – still an England record, despite playing his last white-ball match in 2015.After his international retirement, Anderson continued to play for his county Lancashire during the 2025 season, and excelled on his return to T20 cricket after a decade-long absence, as he helped take his club to Finals Day at Edgbaston.He also earned a wildcard contract with Manchester Originals in the Hundred, and is in talks to continue his county career into the 2026 season.
