Sonhando com Seleção, Pedro marcou de bicicleta exatos quatro anos após primeira convocação

MatériaMais Notícias

Vivendo grande momento com a camisa do Flamengo, o atacante Pedro foi o herói rubro-negro na vitória sobre o Athletico-PR, na última quarta-feira, que garantiu a classificação do time carioca às semifinais da Copa do Brasil de 2022. Com um golaço de bicicleta, o centroavante balançou as redes num dia especial na sua carreira.

Exatos quatro anos antes da pintura feita na Arena da Baixada, Pedro era convocado pela primeira vez para a Seleção Brasileira. Em lista divulgada pelo técnico Tite no dia 17 de agosto de 2018, o então jogador do Fluminense, na época com 21 anos, foi relacionado para amistosos contra Estados Unidos e El Salvador, em setembro.

Assim como em 2022, Pedro vivia fase excelente pelo Tricolor. O atacante tinha 19 gols marcados na temporada e era o artilheiro do Campeonato Brasileiro, com dez tentos. Exatos oito dias depois da convocação, porém, veio a ducha de água fria.

Em uma partida contra o Cruzeiro, no Mineirão, pelo Brasileirão, Pedro torceu o joelho direito no fim do primeiro tempo e precisou deixar a partida. Dias depois, exames constataram um estiramento no ligamento cruzado anterior e ele precisou passar por cirurgia, que o tirou dos gramados por quase oito meses.

Para o lugar de Pedro, Tite convocou outro jogador que teve história no Fluminense: Richarlison. Recém-contratado pelo Everton em 2018, o Pombo teve sua primeira oportunidade com a Amarelinha e deixou boa impressão. No amistoso contra os salvadorenhos, o atacante marcou dois gols e deu uma assistência na goleada por 5 a 0. Desde então, tornou-se figura constante na Seleção Brasileira.

O momento de Pedro antes da lesão era tão bom que o centroavante quase deixou o Fluminense para atuar no futebol europeu. O centroavante recebeu propostas de Bordeaux, da França, e do poderoso Real Madrid. A negociação com espanhóis, inclusive, ficou perto de ser finalizada, mas foi atrapalhada em virtude da contusão.

Pedro voltou a jogar em abril de 2019, mas em setembro se transferiu para a Fiorentina, da Itália. Sem conseguir emplacar no Velho Continente, o centroavante voltou ao Brasil em janeiro de 2020, para atuar no Flamengo.

+ Pedro na lista!Confira os 20 jogadores mais valiosos do Brasileirão

PRIMEIRA CONVOCAÇÃO PARA VALER
Contratado pelo Fla por empréstimo, Pedro fez um bom ano em 2020 e ganhou espaço no time titular por conta de uma lesão de Gabigol. Em novembro daquele ano, o camisa 21 foi novamente chamado por Tite para a Seleção, para os duelos contra Venezuela e Uruguai, nas Eliminatórias Sul-Americanas para a Copa do Mundo de 2022.

O atacante entrou no segundo tempo do jogo com os venezuelanos, no Morumbi, mas ficou em campo por pouco mais de 15 minutos somente. Sem muitas chances, não marcou gol. Pedro, porém, acabou cortado da relação por uma lesão muscular e não enfrentou a Celeste, em Montevidéu, dando lugar a Thiago Galhardo.

O RETORNO?
O nome de Pedro tem sido muito comentado para ganhar uma chance na lista de Tite nos amistosos que o Brasil fará na Data-Fifa de setembro. Será a última convocação do treinador antes da relação final para o Mundial de Qatar, e o camisa 21 tem grandes chances de estar presente nos amistosos.

O próprio treinador da Seleção Brasileira já admitiu inúmeras vezes que gosta do jogador. Tite vê em Pedro um atleta com características únicas, que ele não tem hoje em sua equipe. A mais recente declaração do comandante da Canarinho foi justamente na última quarta-feira, quando o centroavante fez o gol de bicicleta.

-Não vou fugir da pergunta. Pedro tem característica muito especial para enfrentar times com linhas baixas. Tem que ter opção com essa característica. Talvez dos 26 jogadores, 80% estejam encaminhados. Mas sem fechar a lista, sem ficar na caixinha. Grandes atletas se afirmam – disse Tite à “Rádio Globo”.

Pedro tem 20 gols em 45 jogos na temporada 2022 e está perto de atingir o melhor ano de sua carreira. Sonhando com uma vaga na Copa do Mundo do Qatar, o centroavante do Flamengo segue mostrando suas credenciais para convencer Tite.

UCL club chasing "quick" Rangers star and he could now leave with Igamane

Following a season to forget in the Scottish Premiership, Rangers are now reportedly in danger of losing both Hamza Igamane and one other star following news that a Champions League club recently watched their key man in action.

Rangers braced for double transfer blow

The Gers have it all to do this summer. Not only do they have the task of finding a permanent replacement for Philippe Clement, but they must then ensure that they rebuild their side in their new manager’s vision. Just who that manager is remains to be seen.

So far, names such as Kevin Muscat and even former boss Steven Gerrard have been mentioned as potential candidates which could just be the start of a long saga for all involved at Ibrox.

Rangers star outshone "one of best players in the world" for his country

Plenty of first-team players at Rangers are out on international duty.

ByRoss Kilvington Mar 25, 2025

Meanwhile, on the transfer front, Igamane has found himself at the centre of attention. Clubs like Marseille are already reportedly eyeing summer moves to sign the Rangers star and there’s no doubt that losing him would deal the Gers a major blow.

Still just 22 years old, the young forward looks destined for great things with or without the Scottish giants, as proved by his winning goal in the Old Firm derby last time out.

That said, he’s not the only player attracting attention ahead of the summer. According to analyst John Walker, a Champions League club watched Nicolas Raskin in action for Belgium as he stole the show in his second international game this week against Ukraine.

Having picked the perfect game to see Raskin’s talents in full, those interested in signing the Rangers midfielder could yet make their move when the summer arrives.

Rangers could profit from "quick" Raskin

Whilst Rangers will be dealt a frustrating blow on the pitch if they sell both Raskin and Igamane this summer, they will at least have the chance to make impressive profit. Having welcomed Raskin for around £1m, there’s every chance that the Gers make far more than that if they decide to sell their midfielder to a Champions League clubs this summer.

Scottish Sun columnist Roger Hannah recently spoke about Rangers’ aim to create a player trading model at Ibrox and how Raskin’s sale could be part of that, telling the Go Ballistic Show: “It’s good news for him, potentially good news for Rangers.

Nico Raskin

“They want to get into this player trading model that the current board keep discussing. If you’re looking for young up-and-coming players to sell, then the guy who bosses the midfield for Belgium… that’s what you want to get.”

Also earning praise from Walker, who described him as “quick and mobile” in the area, Raskin is certainly one to keep an eye on when the summer transfer window arrives.

Balbirnie: Franchise raids on Ireland players will be 'knock-on effect of good cricket'

Ireland captain acknowledges that Josh Little is doing his bit for his country by playing IPL

Andrew Miller31-May-20231:15

Balbirnie: Ireland must learn to live with franchise world

Josh Little’s appearance in front of over 100,000 Indian fans in the IPL final on Monday night will be every bit as important to the development of cricket in Ireland as the Test team’s opportunity to play at Lord’s, according to their captain, Andrew Balbirnie.Speaking at Lord’s on the eve of his team’s one-off encounter with England, Balbirnie acknowledged the immensity of the challenge that awaits Ireland this week – not simply in facing down an opposition that has won 10 of its last 12 Tests in thrilling style, but in putting to one side the crucial World Cup Qualifiers that are looming in Zimbabwe later in June.Little will be back with the Ireland squad for that 10-team campaign, which also features two former World Cup winners in West Indies and Sri Lanka. However, he is resting up for now after finishing as a runner-up with Gujarat Titans in a gripping IPL final that spilled into the small hours of Tuesday morning in Ahmedabad.And while Little’s absence has attracted ire, particularly from Ireland’s performance director, Richard Holdsworth, Balbirnie insists that his star bowler is still doing his bit to put Irish cricket on the world map and that, given the direction of travel for international cricket, it may not be long before more of his best players are in similar demand elsewhere on the franchise circuit.”That is something that happens above me and I’ve got to support what’s best for Josh,” Balbirnie said. “Do I want him in my team? Of course I do. He’s a brilliant bowler in the white-ball format. We’ve seen that on the biggest stage.”Josh is Josh. We as a team want to promote Irish cricket as best we can when we’re on the pitch, but he’s also doing that himself with what he’s achieving on the world stage. What he is doing at the moment is only good for Irish cricket, and the development of players coming up through the ranks.”I’m sure he does [want to play Test cricket], but I know how busy he is and the pressures that the IPL brings. He doesn’t want to get back from a game in front of 100,000 people with me saying, ‘Do you fancy 12 overs next week at Lord’s?’ You need to give him his space as well, and make sure that he’s in a good frame of mind.”Josh Little impressed for Gujarat Titans in his first IPL season•Associated Press

Little finished his maiden IPL campaign with seven wickets in ten matches, and fought his way back into the starting line-up for the play-offs and final, even after missing a fortnight in early May to play in Ireland’s ODI series against Bangladesh.”He’s yet to play a Test match, but we know he’s pretty adaptable and he’s had a hectic schedule,” Balbirnie added. “I understand completely that he’s got to focus on resting up and getting ready for our World Cup Qualifier, which we head off for next week.”But, as Balbirnie conceded, success on the international stage – whether that comes through qualification for the 50- and 20-over World Cups, or through individual feats at Lord’s this week – may well come with spin-off benefits for the players involved, even if it’s not entirely in the interests of Ireland’s international ambitions.Citing the example of Lorcan Tucker – who picked up a deal with MI Emirates in the ILT20 last winter (and so missed a T20I tour of Zimbabwe) after his impressive displays in the T20 World Cup in Australia – Balbirnie admitted that further raids on Ireland’s playing pool would be a “knock-on effect of playing good cricket”, and therefore will need to be factored into the team’s long-term development.”The T20 World Cup opened a few doors to people. Lorcan played in that ILT20 at the start of the year and impressed a lot of people.”I can’t have any qualms about that because we are trying to play and entertain people and promote our game. The knock-on effect of that is these guys are going to get exposure to [franchise] leagues.”Who knows what is going to happen in the next couple of years? We have to create a player-base in our country so if that does happen, and certain players miss certain Irish games, we have to make sure that there isn’t a drop in standard when we bring a player in.”We don’t have the numbers that England, Australia, India have – in my career I don’t think we ever will. But in our small pool of players, we have to make sure they are all up to speed with what we are trying to do”Things like this will continue to happen. Josh played in an IPL final in his first IPL appearance, I’m not stupid, he’s going to get picked up by other leagues and we are going to have this situation again, but he still wants to play for Ireland. I’ve spoken to him and he still loves playing for this team.”But there are opportunities for him, and there will be for others. We just have to make sure that whoever comes into our group is up to speed and ready to go.”

أحمد سليمان: التعاقد مع فيريرا "على الموضة".. ويرد على اتهام الزمالك بإهانة شعار الأهلي في إعلان تقديم المدرب

علّق أحمد سليمان، عضو مجلس إدارة نادي الزمالك، على تعاقد القلعة البيضاء مع المدير الفني الجديد البلجيكي يانيك فيريرا، مؤكدًا رضاه عن المرحلة الجديدة التي يدخلها الفريق.

وقال سليمان في تصريحات عبر برنامج “اللعيب”، على قناة “mbc masr”، تعليقًا على إعلان الزمالك التعاقد رسميًا مع المدير الفني الجديد: “سعيد بالمرحلة الجديدة وتوقيت الإعلان، رجل عنده طموح وسنه صغير، تابع اللاعبين وتعامل مع المسؤولين في النادي، مدرب أشم فيه رائحة جوميز، المدربون الشباب الآن موضة”.

وعن فيديو التقديم الرسمي الذي أطلق فيه المدرب الجديد سهمًا على راية حمراء – وفسره البعض بأنه يشير إلى شعار النادي الأهلي – قال سليمان: “عادي، كل واحد يُحب أن يفرح بـ الأتموسفير الخاص به، فن لذيذ وحلو يُعطي حماسًا للجماهير ويخلق انتعاشة”.

ولدى سؤاله عمّا إذا كان الفيديو ردًا على مقاطع سابقة من جانب الأهلي، أجاب عضو مجلس الإدارة: “لا، نحن لا نرد على أحد، كل طرف له أيقونته وطريقته وأسلوبه، الجماهير هي روح الحياة في الكرة، ورد فعل الجماهير على الفيديو أنهم كانوا سعداء به جعلنا نسعد”.

وكان نادي الزمالك قد أعلن في وقت سابق رحيل الجهاز الفني السابق بقيادة أيمن الرمادي، ليبدأ مرحلة جديدة مع البلجيكي يانيك فيريرا، الذي تم اختياره بعد مفاضلة مع عدة مدربين بالتنسيق بين المدير الرياضي ومجلس الإدارة.

بـ60 مليون جنيه إسترليني.. مانشستر يونايتد يقدم عرضًا لحسم صفقة هامة

ذكرت تقارير صحفية إنجليزية أن مانشستر يونايتد ما زال متمسك بالتعاقد مع أحد أهدافه خلال سوق الانتقالات الصيفية الحالية.

ووفقاً للصحفي البريطاني ديفيد أورنيستن، فإن مانشستر يونايتد قدم عرضًا ثالثًا بقيمة 65 مليون إسترليني بجانب 5 ملايين جنيه إسترليني لضم بريان مبيومو من صفوف برينتفورد.

ويشعر مانشستر يونايتد بالتفاؤل بشأن إتمام الصفقة على الرغم من التلميحات حول تعثرها، ويعمل العملاق الإنجليزي على ضم اللاعب بأقصى قدر يوم الثلاثاء المقبل ليتمكن من السفر إلى الولايات المتحدة.

ويعتبر مانشستر يونايتد عرضه الثالث لضم بريان مبيومو نهائيًا، وكان اللاعب قد أشار مجددًا إلى رغبته في الرحيل عن صفوف برينتفورد وينتظر العملاق الإنجليزي رد النادي اللندني.

وأبلغ مبيومو بالفعل ناديه برينتفورد وتوتنهام هوتسبير والذي كان يريد ضمه برغبته في الانضمام إلى صفوف مانشستر يونايتد في حال رحيله هذا الصيف.

وقد رفض برينتفورد عرضًا أوليًا من مانشستر يونايتد بقيمة 45 مليون بجانب 10 ملايين جنيه إسترليني كإضافات لضم مبيومو، قبل أن يحسن الشياطين الحمر عرضه بقيمة 55 مليون جنيه إسترليني بجانب 7.5 مليون كمكافآت.

ويسعى برينتفورد للحصول على مبلغ يتجاوز 62.5 مليون جنيه إسترليني الذي دفعه مانشستر يونايتد للحصول على خدمات ماتيوس كونيا من وولفرهامبتون واندررز.

Gloucestershire suffer first defeat as Hannon-Dalby, Barnard lead rout

Jack Taylor half-century not enough to prop up hosts as Warwickshire ease to victory

ECB Reporters Network07-Aug-2023

Oliver Hannon-Dalby claimed 3 for 14 as Gloucestershire slumped to 120 all out•Getty Images

Gloucestershire’s flying start in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup came to a crashing halt with an eight-wicket defeat to Warwickshire at Edgbaston. The west country men had won their first two games but surrendered their 100% record to a Warwickshire side which retained theirs after a ruthless display of bowling supported by brilliant catching.Gloucestershire were skittled for 120 with only Jack Taylor (55 off 65 balls) able to resist an attack led by the excellent Olly Hannon-Dalby whose 3 for 14 included the wickets of three of the top five batters.Warwickshire then eased to 123 for two from 25.5 overs as Ed Barnard added a fluent 36 from 39 balls to his two wickets, Will Rhodes struck an unbeaten 36 and Michael Burgess an unbeaten 33.After choosing to bowl, Warwickshire made lavish use of the new ball. Gloucestershire were 10 for 4 after Barnard took wickets with his second and 11th deliveries and Hannon-Dalby struck with his seventh and ninth. All were caught behind the wicket as Barnard induced fatal edges from the Price brothers and Hannon-Dalby had Chris Dent and Graeme van Buuren taken in the cordon.When Danny Briggs started with a wicket-maiden, James Bracey chipping back a return catch from the sixth ball, the visitors were 35 for 5. Taylor and Ben Wells added 29 but the edges continued to come. Wells nicked a perfectly-shaped outswinger from Craig Miles and Zafar Gohar left in high dudgeon after being adjudged caught behind off Hannon-Dalby.Taylor and Anwar Ali constructed the best stand of the innings – 38 from 42 balls – but then fell to brilliant catches. Anwar tickled Miles down the leg side and wicketkeeper Burgess dived low to take his fourth catch of the innings. Taylor passed 50 for the 18th time in List A cricket but is still to turn one of those fifties into a hundred after he thrashed Jake Lintott to extra cover and fell to a stinging catch from Ethan Brookes.When Lintott spun one on to Ajeet Singh Dale’s stumps, Gloucestershire were 120 all out and their strong start to the campaign seemed a distant memory.It grew increasingly distant as Warwickshire openers Barnard and Rob Yates added 46 in 12 overs. Barnard batted attractively before falling lbw when he missed a reverse sweep at Ollie Price.Captain Will Rhodes arrived in no mood to hang about, moving from 1 to 15 with two fours and a six in four balls from Ollie Price and lifting Gohar into the Hollies Stand. Tom Price rattled Yates’ off stump with a jaffa but Gloucestershire’s batting implosion meant that jaffas had to arrive on a conveyor belt to rescue them and Rhodes and Burgess steered the Bears to the most straightforward of victories with 145 balls to spare.
