رفض نجم فريق مانشستر يونايتد كريستيانو رونالدو، التوجه إلى جماهير الشياطين الحمر لتحيتهم، بعد خسارتهم المذلة اليوم أمام فريق برينتفورد.

واستضاف ملعب “برينتفورد كوميونيتي” مباراة الفريقين في الجولة الثانية من الدوري الإنجليزي، حيث خسر مانشستر يونايتد بأربعة أهداف دون رد.

وشارك كريستيانو رونالدو في المباراة كأساسي رفقة مانشستر يونايتد، ولعب حتى صافرة النهاية، ولم يتمكن من إحداث الفارق.

وبعد المباراة، حرص عدد من لاعبي مانشستر يونايتد التوجه إلى الجماهير من أجل توجيه التحية لهم، وكانت على وجوههم ملامح الحزن والاستياء.

وذكرت شبكة “مانشستر إيفننج نيوز” الإنجليزية أن ستيف ماكلارين مساعد مدرب مانشستر يونايتد، طلب من رونالدو التوجه إلى جماهير مانشستر يونايتد من أجل تحيتهم.

وأوضحت أن رونالدو رفض ما طلبه ماكلارين، وتبادل معه بضع كلمات قبل التوجه للنفق المؤدي إلى غرف الملابس.

West Ham United can all but confirm their place in the Europa League knockout stages with a win over Genk this evening, in what will be David Moyes’ 1,000 game in management.

Fresh off the back of leading the Irons to their record points and win total in the Premier League last season, the Scotsman has his side unbeaten in Europe with a 100% record in Group H.

The Hammers could become the first English team to win their opening four games in the competition without conceding a goal, so it could be quite the landmark occasion over in Belgium tonight.

But with a huge clash against Liverpool on Sunday, the 58-year-old has plenty of decisions to make in terms of team selection.

Here’s the lineup he could run with against the Jupiler Pro League outfit…

After dispatching Aston Villa with ease last weekend, Moyes could afford to rotate the bulk of his starting XI and that is what he’s expected to do. There could be as many as nine changes with only vice-captain Declan Rice and winger Jarrod Bowen remaining.

It means Alphonse Areola resumes duties between the sticks as he is seemingly West Ham’s ‘cup ‘keeper’, so veteran Lukasz Fabianski is rested.

The entire back four is altered, too.

Craig Dawson and Issa Diop have formed a solid partnership in the tournament so far and are likely to return, handing a breather to both Kurt Zouma and Angelo Ogbonna, whilst Vladimir Coufal is in line for his first start since injury.

The 29-year-old replaces the impressive Ben Johnson on the right, whilst Arthur Masuaku starts over Aaron Cresswell on the other flank.

Rarely-seen summer signing Alex Kral could earn some minutes from the off as he partners Rice in the middle. The 23-year-old Czech Republic international has played only 90 minutes since arriving in east London.

Further afield, it would be a surprise to see Michail Antonio named in the starting lineup, so Andriy Yarmolenko is trusted to lead the line again as Moyes lacks senior options in the centre-forward role.

Meanwhile, Manuel Lanzini and fellow summer arrival Nikola Vlasic join Bowen behind the striker, meaning Said Benrahma is axed after his sub-par showing at Villa Park, with Pablo Fornals also rested.

AND in other news, Moyes must unleash West Ham’s £18m-rated “machine” tonight, he could terrorise Genk…

For Paul Collingwood, one word – “Adelaide” – is all that will be required to ensure that his competitive juices are fully flowing come Wednesday morning

Andrew Miller in Cardiff06-Jul-2009

On the eve of an Ashes series, extra motivation is not something that either side will lack, but for Paul Collingwood, one word – “Adelaide” – is all that will be required to ensure that his competitive juices are fully flowing come Wednesday morning.For Collingwood, the second Test of England’s disastrous campaign in 2006-07 truly was the best of times, and the worst of times. On the second day of the match he completed the double-century that seemed destined to lead England’s fightback from their 277-run drubbing in the first Test at Brisbane; by the final afternoon, however, he was clinging to the wreckage of England’s second innings, 22 not out from 119 balls, as Shane Warne led the charge towards Australia’s incredible six-wicket victory.After that astonishing turnaround, of which there had been no prospect until Andrew Strauss’s dismissal midway through the morning session of the final day, there was no holding Australia back. They swarmed to victory in the remaining three Tests to complete their first Ashes whitewash since 1920-21, and claim absolute vengeance for their thrilling defeat in England in 2005. For better or worse, Collingwood has been clinging to the events of that Test ever since.”I’ll be honest with you, it still hurts me and hurts the team talking about Adelaide,” he told Cricinfo. “We got ourselves into a great position to win or draw the game, and the whole Ashes series could have turned out a lot differently if that had happened. Looking back, it really took the guts out of us as a team – and certainly as an individual, it took the guts out of me – because we had been in such a great position.”It’s amazing how high you can get in terms of your emotions, scoring a double hundred as an individual, and then how quickly a game can turn, and how low you can actually get within such a short space of time,” he said. “As a cricketer, I went from as high as I’ve ever been, to as low as I’ve ever been, in the space of a day. That’s the amazing thing about cricket. You’ve got to be so mentally strong as a cricketer to go through the emotional range in the space of days.”No player is better placed than Collingwood to pass on the lessons that England were taught that day, not even Kevin Pietersen, who also scored a century in that Test, but whose success against all opponents and in all forms of the game somehow set him apart from his colleagues. As Collingwood himself put it: “For most of my career, I’ve always learned from adversity rather than success.”Nearly three years on, however, and there is plenty that is different about the two line-ups, particularly Australia’s, which has been stripped of many of the men who made that Adelaide turnaround possible – most notably Warne, but also Glenn McGrath and now Brett Lee as well.”They were a team who pounced on an opportunity, and that hurt a lot,” Collingwood said. “Last time they had a lot of experience and skill, and they knew about taking opportunities, which we were slow in doing ourselves. They gradually wore us down, but if you give it a good go from ball one, and if you have that aggressive attitude against Australia, you’ll do pretty well.”I guess it’s about going out there and believing in yourself,” he said. “They are a very good side so you’ve got to get your technique in place, but the mental side of playing against Australia is the crucial thing, and that’s going to be new for a lot of the players in both sides. You’ve got to adapt your game and strategies to overcome everything that goes with the Ashes – the media hype, the atmosphere in the grounds. It’s completely different.”Collingwood happens to believe that the attitude within the England team is completely different as well, and attributes that to the lessons learned in the midst of humiliation. “Coming off the pitch last time in Australia, I had conversations with the boys, and we talked about what we were going to do to make sure that [experience] doesn’t happen again. It’s amazing how it hits you hard as sportsmen.”There were certainly a few nerves going into that [series] but there were also a few grey areas in the team,” he said. “This time we are more confident in what we are about, and what we’re doing, and that’s crucial. Mentally it’s a belief thing. It’s not about being overconfident or arrogant, but about going at them – not in a verbal sense, but in body language.”Given the history of Anglo-Australian relations, verbal jousting will undoubtedly play a major part in the series, although Collingwood – who toughened up his game in Aussie grade cricket in the mid-1990s, and was at the forefront of England’s aggressive approach in 2005, particularly in an incident involving Simon Jones and Matthew Hayden at Edgbaston – questioned whether any banter that takes place on the field can really be bracketed as “sledging”.”It’s a bit of a silly word, an overused term” he said. “If it’s a chat, or a joke, is that sledging? Sometimes situations come around when you need to back each other up as a team, like with Hayden last time around, but we’re not going to go looking for it. With the Aussies, they sometimes sniff a moment to get right on top, but sometimes – like at Adelaide – they were like any other team that you are on top of, and went very quiet.”They are very good at it though,” he said. “I played a lot of cricket out there in 1996 as a youngster, and it’s in their culture. They come hard at you, with people coming up to you who don’t like Pommies, simple as that. But people react in different ways. Mentally some people take it personally and let it affect their techniques, some people don’t even listen to it. We have strong characters who can stand up to it.”Whatever transpires in the coming months, Collingwood could hardly be more primed for the challenge. “I’ve got no need for extra motivation,” he said. “From a very early age, all I wanted to do is win the Ashes, and what happened last time fuels me even more to win, no matter who is in the team.”It can only happen against Australia, because it’s the ultimate. Without putting down the likes of South Africa and West Indies, you just don’t get all the emotion against any other side. When you do well against Australia, it’s such a buzz because you know you’re playing against the best in the world.”

أكد محمد صلاح مدرب الزمالك السابق، أن قرار جوسفالدو فيريرا مدرب الأبيض بالاعتماد على الناشئين أعاد الثقة للفريق، مشيرًا إلى أنه يرفض عودة محمد أبو جبل.

ويعتلى الزمالك صدارة جدول ترتيب الدوري المصري برصيد 75 نقطة، فيما يتواجد بيراميدز في الوصافة بـ 68.

وقال محمد صلاح في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر فضائية “المحور”: “تصعيد الناشئين والاعتماد عليهم هو بداية النجاح وإعادة الثقة للفريق مرة أخرى”.

وتابع: “التعادل مع الأهلي بنتيجة 2-2 هي بداية حصول الزمالك على الثقة، بعد تصعيد الناشئين واللعب بتخطيط وتحفظ في كل مباراة من أجل الوصول للوضع الحالي”.

وأردف: “قرار فيريرا بتصعيد الناشئين أعطى الفريق خلطة سحرية بجانب اللاعبين الكبار، وأتمنى استمرار هؤلاء الناشئين في الفريق الموسم المقبل وعدم خروجهم للإعارة، حتى لو لم يشاركوا مع الفريق”.

وأكمل: “الزمالك يحتاج لحارس مرمى وقلبي دفاع ولاعب خط وسط هجومي”.

وأختتم: “أرفض عودة أبو جبل مرة أخرى، لا يصح ما فعله مع الزمالك، وأتمنى التعاقد مع محمود جاد بدلًا من محمد صبحي، الأخير رفض العودة للزمالك لذلك لا نريد عودته للفريق مرة أخرى”.

O último gol do Santos no Campeonato Brasileiro foi marcado no dia 2 de agosto, por Ricardo Oliveira,na vitória por 3 a 2 sobre o Flamengo, no Pacaembu, pela 18ª rodada. Desde então, foram três empates no Nacional com uma vitória sobre o Atlético-PR pelas oitavas da Libertadores. O jejum de gols é motivo de preocupação para os jogadores do Peixe.

David Braz, um dos líderes do elenco, minimizou a falta de bolas na rede e rebateu com o argumento de que o time tem criado chances para finalizar.

-Criamos bastante no último jogo. Temos que trabalhar, não pode desanimar. Nosso time tem qualidade e criando. Estaria preocupado se não tivesse criado. Mas estamos criando, trabalhando a bola, com posse. Jogamos bem com gramado alto, chuva, frio, adversário qualificado. Agora é trabalhar consertar os detalhes para o próximo jogo – disse o camisa 14.

No Brasileirão, o Peixe é o segundo time que menos finaliza, atrás apenas do Avaí.

Questionado sobre as folgas dadas pelo técnico Levir Culpi para o elenco (geralmente duas por semana), o zagueiro fez uma avaliação positiva e disse que o tempo sem treinos serve para descansar e prevenir lesões.

– Acho que tem sido importante para a sequência que estávamos tendo. Perdemos muitos jogadores por lesão, o que não acontecia no Santos. Acredito que tem sido pela quantidade de jogos. Ele e a comissão técnica tem conversado sobre o que acham melhor e está dando certo. Estamos há 14 jogos sem perder. Não entendo essas críticas. Poderiam apoiar ou estar feliz pelo momento que vivemos. Acho que é a melhor sequência do Santos nos últimos anos. Poderiam apoiar, ainda mais nessa fase da Libertadores. O momento é de apoio porque estamos fazendo de tudo para honrar a camisa do Santos – completou.

Depois do jogo contra o Cruzeiro, no domingo, serão 13 dias sem jogos, devido à pausa para as Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo. O elenco santista terá de segunda-feira até quarta sem treinos.

Though the Test squad was made up of replacement players – following strike action by the more reputed names – John Dyson said he was not disappointed with the way they performed

Cricinfo staff23-Jul-2009

West Indies coach John Dyson has said that despite his team losing the Test Series against Bangladesh, he expects competitive performances in the three-match ODI series. “This is a totally different game now,” Dyson said. “We’re playing 50-over cricket, not five-day cricket. The two Test matches were closely fought, it wasn’t a case where we were thrashed in either of the matches. We could have won both so I don’t think there’s much in it.”Though the Test squad was made up of replacement players – following strike action by the more reputed names – Dyson said he was not disappointed with the way they performed. “For guys who had little experience in international cricket to come forward like that and play as well as they did, I think they did pretty well,” Dyson said. “They’ve played some good cricket so far, unfortunately we weren’t able to get across the line and win the Tests.”The first two ODIs will be played in Dominica on Sunday and Tuesday, and Dyson hoped the pitches would nullify the Bangladesh spinners and aid the West Indian pacemen. “I’m looking forward to the one-dayers. What I’d like to see is a hard, pacy, bouncy wicket,” Dyson said.Given the statistics from the two Test matches in St Vincent and Grenada, the Bangladeshi spinners – led by captain Shakib Al Hasan – have been dominant. They took 33 of the 40 wickets with Shakib and Mahmudullah, both picking five-wicket hauls. The duo along, with Enamul Haque jnr, who featured in the second Test, worked over the West Indies batsmen with relative ease.Contrastingly, fast bowlers Kemar Roach and Darren Sammy were the standout performers for the hosts. Roach, who debuted in the first Test, was the highest wicket-taker for West Indies with 13. He bowled with disconcerting pace and bagged an impressive career best 6 for 48 in the first innings in Grenada.Sammy also had impressive returns by picking up back-to-back five wicket hauls. In the first match, Sammy took 5 for 70 in the Bangladesh second innings, and followed it up with identical figures in Grenada.It is no surprise, therefore, that Dyson is keen on a pitch which will offer some assistance to the pacers with the West Indies squad comprising Roach, Sammy, David Bernard, Nelon Pascal and Gavin Tonge.

Antonio Conte is expected to tinker his tactical system at Tottenham Hotspur in the coming weeks and it could be hugely beneficial to Tanguy Ndombele.

The Italian has barely been in the job a week but according to football.london reporter Alasdair Gold, we could see a shift to a 3-4-1-2 in a bid to solve their attacking woes.

“There’s an expectation within the club that the starting XI and formation will change over the coming weeks,” he revealed to supporters.

“I think the width from the wing-backs negates the need for wingers up front as well, so I think we’ll see a shift to a 3-4-1-2 and yes I reckon two or three faces in the team will be different within a month’s time.”

So far under the 52-year-old, the Lilywhites are unbeaten, having narrowly defeated Vitesse 3-2 in the Europa Conference League before Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Everton.

What is most alarming, however, is that Spurs’ creative problems are continuing. The side has not registered a shot on target in nearly four hours, whilst their last league goal came over five hours ago, as per The Athletic.

Similarly, the north Londoners rank last for average shots per game (10.1), which is worse than the three teams occupying a place in the bottom three, including managerless Norwich City (10.3), via WhoScored.

To get the best out of Heung-min Son and Harry Kane, Conte is perhaps going to look to deploy an attacking midfielder in the middle, rather than having two wide men on top of both wing-backs.

This opens the door for Spurs’ divisive club-record signing to finally live up to expectations. The last two years have been mixed, to say the least.

Across 86 appearances, the £34m-rated dynamo has only provided ten goals and eight assists, averaging a direct contribution once every 272 minutes, via Transfermarkt, which isn’t good enough but sometimes, albeit fairly rarely, we have seen glimpses of why chairman Daniel Levy splashed £55m on him.

“In the right environment he could become one of the best midfielders in the world,” once claimed French journalist Julien Laurens to the BBC, whilst ex-goalkeeper Joe Hart dubbed him “unplayable” and a “world-beater” to BT Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand last season.

Ndombele has played several different midfield roles since arriving in the summer of 2019 but it is the advanced position where he has reaped the best rewards, averaging a contribution every 3.5 games, over 4.2 games when deployed deeper, as per Transfermarkt.

Therefore, this massive call from Conte to revert to a system that utilises a no.10 should see the French flop become a key and influential player for the club.

If it doesn’t, then the writing may well be on the wall but only time will tell.

AND in other news, “Conte greenlights…”: Journalist claims Spurs want £18m-rated beast, fans surely buzzing…

A final da Copa do Brasil coloca Flamengo e o técnico Mano Menezes novamente frente à frente. O atual comandante do Cruzeiro teve uma passagem curiosa e relâmpago pelo Rubro-Negro em 2013. Insatisfeito com a postura de jogadores e após um desentendimento com um dirigente, ele pediu demissão e pagou a multa rescisória do próprio bolso. Em apenas três meses à frente do time carioca, o treinador participou da campanha do título da Copa do Brasil daquele ano, eliminando, nas oitavas de final, a mesma Raposa, que era apontada como favorita na época.

O diretor executivo de futebol do Flamengo em 2013, Paulo Pelaipe, contou ao LANCE! como ocorreu a saída do treinador, após uma derrota de 4 a 2 para o Atlético-PR, no Maracanã, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. O anúncio pegou a todos de surpresa.

– Eu fiquei sabendo quando terminou o jogo. O Mano me chamou numa sala e disse que ia sair. Ele disse que teve alguns problemas e que ia sair. Eu fiquei sabendo dos problemas depois. Foi um dos piores momentos daquele ano. Houve uma turbulência após a saída dele. Mano deu sua contribuição (para o título). Eliminamos um adversário terrível, considerado favorito, mas a vida continuava, e o Jayme (de Almeida) assumiu – lembra.

“Alguns jogadores entenderam que poderiam comemorar fora do limite”, Mano Menezes

Apesar do aproveitamento de apenas 50% com o time do Flamengo, Mano pegou a todos de surpresa quando pediu para sair. Na época, poucos entenderam os motivos do adeus, que foram revelados recentemente, numa entrevista do treinador à ESPN Brasil.

– Aconteceram fatos lá que me levaram a tomar uma atitude radical, porque não é comum um técnico pedir para sair. Tive que pagar multa rescisória… Fatos que ocorreram depois com o grupo do Flamengo, que apareceram depois em algumas festas, algumas coisas. Alguns jogadores entenderam que poderiam comemorar fora do limite que eu acredito do profissionalismo do futebol – disse Mano, que entrou em rota de colisão com o então vice-presidente de marketing do Fla, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, o Bap.

– Uma pessoa dentro do Flamengo quis decidir para quem eu daria e para quem eu não daria entrevista. Foi o Bap. Eu tinha marcado duas entrevistas com dois colegas de vocês (jornalistas) e, quando essa pessoa do Flamengo descobriu, ele não queria permitir. Aí, tive um desgaste para mostrar para ele que eu estava treinador do Flamengo, mas que o Flamengo não ia decidir minha vida profissional em todos os aspectos. Mesmo assim, fiz as entrevistas, e ele, internamente, considerou aquilo uma traição – contou à ESPN.

Pelaipe relembra dificuldades, celebração do título e diz que vai ao jogo

Agora morando em São Paulo, Pelaipe trabalhou 19 meses no Flamengo. Ele lembra que, antes antes da conquista do título da Copa do Brasil, houve muitas dificuldades no clube, que estava se encaixando numa nova realidade financeira.

– Foi um ano de muitas dificuldades, sem dinheiro. Tivemos uma redução na folha salarial, caiu de R$ 10 milhões para R$ 3,5 milhões. A primeira coisa que fizemos naquele ano foi pagar rigorosamente em dia. O pagamento da carteira de trabalho saía no dia quinto dia útil e o de imagem saída no dia 20. Conversamos com os jogadores e parcelamos as dívidas em 20 vezes. Tivemos que abrir mão de alguns jogadores por causa dos salários: Love, Ibson, Alex… Compramos o Samir e o Hernani, e pegamos, por empréstimo, Paulinho, Wallace e Chicão. O time encaixou. A torcida passou a apoiar a diretoria após muitas críticas pela saída dos jogadores – lembra.

“A minha relação com os jogadores era muito transparente. Após a saída do Mano, tivemos uma conversa clara, a vida continuava. Jayme assumiu”, Paulo Pelaipe

Pelaipe contou que vai ao primeiro jogo da final, na próxima quinta, no Maracanã, palco de uma das maiores alegrias da sua carreira.

– Elias e Léo Moura me buscaram no vestiário para comemorar o título no gramado. Eles me jogaram para cima no campo no final do jogo, em pleno Maracanã. Vou levar aquilo para sempre, com muito orgulho – diz.

Mano já deu crédito a Jayme

Recentemente, em entrevista ao LANCE!, o técnico Mano Menezes disse que não se considera campeão da Copa do Brasil de 2013. Ele deu o crédito a Jayme de Almeida, comandante a partir das quartas de final daquele torneio e hoje auxiliar técnico da comissão fixa do Flamengo.

– Quem conquistou o título foi o Jayme. Seria apropriação indevida. Fui até um pedaço. Até eliminamos o Cruzeiro, mas faltava uma etapa e ela foi desenvolvida pelo Jayme – disse Mano.

Flamengo e Mano Menezes já duelaram cinco vezes desde que o treinador deixou o clube carioca. Foram cinco partidas, com o retrospecto de três derrotas, um empate e apenas uma vitória do treinador.

Com um primeiro turno do Brasileirão marcado por derrotas, o Santos vive nova fase. Tanto que ganhou pela primeira vez na temporada uma partida contra o Corinthians no domingo, por 2 a 0, na Vila Belmiro -perdeu por 1 a 0 no Campeonato Paulista e por 2 a 0 no Brasileiro.

Antes, perto da zona de rebaixamento, sem ganhar um clássico na temporada, com três pontos no Campeonato Brasileiro. Este era o Santos na competição em comando do ex-técnico Dorival Júnior, demitido por causa de um revés no dia 4 de junho, um dia depois do clássico contra o Corinthians, em derrota por 2 a 0, em Itaquera, pelo Brasileirão. Hoje, coincidência ou não, desde este confronto o Peixe vive nova filosofia, uma sequência de invencibilidade e ocupa a terceira posição da tabela.

Desde o último confronto, ocorreram muitas mudanças na equipe da Baixada. E essas mudanças trouxeram novo gás para a Libertadores. O LANCE! levantou essas e outras novidades, como:

MUDANÇA DE TÉCNICO
No comando desde o dia 12 de junho, Levir Culpi tomou as rédias do time em um momento péssimo, já que de quatro partidas o Peixe perdeu três e venceu uma -Até o Elano assumir interinamente e ganhar duas partidas. No entanto, com a ajuda do auxiliar-técnico, um turno depois da derrota para o Corinthians o Santos embalou. Foram cinco jogos seguidos sem perder – contra o Botafogo, Atlético-PR, Palmeiras, Ponte Preta e Vitória.

NOVA FILOSOFIA
Anteriormente, com Dorival, o Alvinegro priorizava a posse de bola e agilidade no passe. Não mais. Com Levir, a prioridade é contra-atacar, ter segurança nas bolas paradas e finalizar. E surtiu efeito. Após a nova filosofia, o Peixe venceu 10 vezes, empatou oito e perdeu uma.

REINVENÇÃO DO TIME TITULAR
Diferentemente de Dorival, que não utilizava Noguera, Daniel Guedes, Vecchio, e Alison, Levir tornou parte deles titulares e outros reservas. O técnico também reposicionou Copete ao ataque, já que o colombiano atuava pela lateral-esquerda
do time.

Antigo time ideal: Vanderlei; Victor Ferraz, Lucas Veríssimo, David Braz e Jean Mota; Thiago Maia, Renato e Lucas Lima; Vitor Bueno, Bruno Henrique e Ricardo Oliveira.

Atual time ideal: Vanderlei; Victor Ferraz, Lucas Veríssimo, David Braz e Zeca; Renato, Alison e Lucas Lima; Copete (Vitor Bueno), Bruno Henrique e Ricardo Oliveira.

INVENCIBILIDADE
Invicto há 16 jogos, sendo 13 no Brasileirão, o Peixe alcançou a sequência logo após a partida contra o Atlético-GO, em empate por 1 a 1, na 11ª rodada. É a maior série invicta do Peixe nos pontos corridos da temporada.

TREINOS
Apesar dos rachões e folgas marcarem os treinos de Levir, o técnico já demonstrou sua maior preocupação atualmente: o ataque. Depois de quatro jogos sem marcar, o comandante focou em trabalhos de finalização, cruzamento, cabeceios e bola parada. Com Dorival, treinos táticos e voltados para a posse de bola eram muito frequentes.

VITÓRIA EM CLÁSSICOS
Após a partida ganha contra o Palmeiras por 1 a 0, na estreia de Levir, o Peixe ainda venceu o São Paulo por 3 a 2 e novamente o Timão, no domingo, por 2 a 0.​

EMBALOU
Em meio a 16 jogos sem perder, o Alvinegro disputa a Libertadores nesta quarta-feira, contra o Barcelo de Guayaquil, no Equador às 21h45. E o comandante vê força no elenco para conseguir o título:

– Temos tido uma regularidade, podemos ganhar qualquer jogo. Estamos vivos e motivados. Podemos até ser campeões invictos (da Libertadores). Seria maravilhoso. Podemos enfrentar qualquer time da América do Sul se administrarmos a questão física – disse em entrevista coletiva.

Atualmente, o Santos ocupa a terceira colocação na tabela com 41 pontos, 2 atrás do Grêmio e a nove do líder.
