Global T20 Canada, the new six-team franchise league organized by Cricket Canada and Mercuri Group based out of Chennai, will take place between June 28 and July 15.Each team will play six games in the league phase: an initial round-robin followed by a single-match second round in which the teams will play one other opponent. The top four teams after the league phase advance to the playoffs beginning on July 12.Similar to the IPL, the top two teams will play in the first playoff, with the winner going into the tournament final while the loser gets a second chance by playing the winner of the first elimination playoff between the third and fourth-placed teams. The final will take place on July 15 at 2pm local time, the same day as the FIFA World Cup Final in Moscow.Though Cricket Canada president Ranjit Saini told ESPNcricinfo in February that the tournament would be spread across three venues in the greater Toronto area, the schedule unveiled this week lists all games to be held at Maple Leaf Cricket Club, 25 miles north of downtown Toronto in King City.Saini had indicated that there may be difficulty getting permits for access to certain venues such as the centrally-located Toronto Cricket, Skating & Curling Club, which hosted the Sahara Cup ODI series between India and Pakistan in the late 1990s.While no permanent infrastructure exists at Maple Leaf CC beyond a small clubhouse, the venue has installed temporary seating in the past to accommodate fans for a quadrangular series in 2008 between Canada, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. The Global T20 Canada website lists the seating capacity for the tournament matches at Maple Leaf CC as 7,000, meaning temporary bleachers are expected to be brought in once more for the tournament.Though the entire tournament will take place at Maple Leaf CC, Global T20 Canada’s franchise names represent five cities across Canada as well as one team called “Caribbean All-Stars”. The other five teams are the Toronto Nationals, Montreal Tigers, Ottawa Royals, Vancouver Knights and Winnipeg Hawks.The tournament is scheduled to have a player draft on May 26 to fill out team rosters. However, no information has been provided by Cricket Canada or tournament organizers regarding any foreign players in the draft pool or regarding fixed salaries tied to a player’s draft slot akin to the Caribbean Premier League. Saini had told ESPNcricinfo in February that only a minimum of four Canada players would be required in each 15-man squad, with no mandate that any Canada players be in a starting XI.
Se tem um jogador que gosta de marcar contra o Internacional é o atacante Matheus Davó. O atleta do Corinthians foi a novidade da equipe de Vagner Mancini e fez o gol da vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Colorado, na Neo Química Arena.
A história do camisa 33 do Timão contra o clube gaúcho tem sido muito bem sucedida . No início do ano passado, Davó marcou quatro gols na vitória do Guarani sobre o Inter por 5 a 0, na Copa São Paulo de Juniores. O resultado eliminou a equipe colorada e classificou o Bugre para as oitavas de final da competição.

Com o gol marcado, o jovem atacante de 21 anos espera ganhar cada vez mais espaço com a comissão técnica do Corinthians.
Sunderland's remarkable revival has been spearheaded by the managerial expertise of Tony Mowbray, successfully inflicting his possession-based football onto his young side.
The Black Cats capped their return to the Championship last term with a sensational charge into the play-offs and although it ended in heartache against Luton Town in the semis, the embryonic stages of this campaign have supporters dreaming of a promotion back to the Premier League.
Currently sitting in fifth place, the prospects ahead for Sunderland are chalk and cheese compared to their struggles in the doldrums of League One but having escaped the clutches of the third-tier, the positivity surrounding the Stadium of Light is contagious.
With a youthful squad that plays attractive football, there is a lot to admire about the way in which Sunderland have gone about their business in recent times, including their strategy to recruit young players with boundless potential.
One youngster who has accentuated that strategy is the signing of Jobe Bellingham from Birmingham City for £3m as the talented teen became their most eye-catching addition this summer.
Another key example is that of Jack Clarke, who joined on a permanent deal from Tottenham last year, and has since seen his stock and value rise dramatically.
How much did Sunderland buy Jack Clarke for?
Having earned promotion back to the Championship in 2022, Sunderland knew they needed to add quality to their front line and for the most part, utilised the loan market to bring in striker Joe Gelhardt from Leeds United and winger Amad Diallo on loan from Manchester United.
Jack Clarke for Tottenham
While Diallo enjoyed a successful loan in the North East, scoring 14 goals, their acquisition of Jack Clarke – for a fee believed to be in the region of £4.4m (€5.2m) – was their most impressive piece of business that summer.
The Englishman arrived at the club when his stock was at its lowest, becoming the victim of the £10m fee that Spurs forked out for him in 2019, suffering through three challenging loan spells at Leeds United, Queens Park Rangers and Stoke City before finding a home at the Stadium of Light.
After breaking onto the scene as a 17-year-old at Leeds, Clarke quickly became renowned for his electric pace and precise dribbling, utilising those attributes to full effect by becoming one of the hottest prospects that the Championship has seen.
Now a maturing and more complete version of himself at 22-years-old, Clarke is showcasing the potential at Sunderland that his formative years promised.
How much is Jack Clarke worth now?
Sunderland took a gamble on a player they knew had serious potential, and it is paying off.
The 5 foot 9 whizz – who was described as a "diamond" by Mowbray – has proven the critics wrong by becoming one of the most explosive assets in the second tier, demonstrating that X Factor through his performances.
Sunderland forward Jack Clarke.
A player capable of getting bums off seats through his ferocious wing play, Clarke has added consistency in the final third to go with his excellent approach play, returning an impressive 21 goal contributions in 45 Championship appearances last season.
An ever-present in the starting XI, the youngster has continued where he left off this time round by taking on the mantle of scoring goals, currently joint-top of the scoring charts with five.
Clarke, is quite simply, in the form of his life and after scoring a brace against Blackburn Rovers, Mowbray lauded his performance as "amazing", a comment that reflects the attacking metrics he's produced so far this season.
The former Leeds academy graduate clearly excels in situations that see his ball-carrying abilities come to life, placing within the top 2% in the Championship this season against his positional peers for progressive carries, fouls drawn and successful take-ons while ranking in the top 7% for carries into the final third per 90, as per FBref.
A ball-carrying phenom, Clarke is one of the best in the Championship at taking the ball in his stride and driving at the opposition, so there was no wonder why multiple Premier League clubs were chasing him in the summer, with Burnley launching a £9m bid that was turned away.
If the £17k per-week star continues to shine brightest at the Stadium of Light, his £7.9m (€9.2m) value, as per Football Transfers, will no doubt continue to rise.
A day after clinching a four-run win against Test nation Ireland, Netherlands went on to chase 159 with an over to spare against the same opponents in the second match of the tri-series in Rotterdam. The four-wicket win was led by their openers before Roelof van der Merwe scored 37 off 26 and then captain Pieter Seelaar saw them through with an unbeaten 22. Van der Merwe had also taken two wickets earlier as Ireland scored 158 for 6 with an unbeaten 42-ball 45 from Gary Wilson.Netherlands never let the required run rate out of control once Tobias Visee started the chase with a 15-ball 25 and his opening partner Max O’Dowd scored a brisk 39 off 24. George Dockrell broke the stand when he bowled Visee in the fourth over and Nos. 3 and 4 Ben Cooper and Bas de Leede got out cheaply. Between those two wickets, O’Dowd was caught behind off Stuart Thompson and Netherlands were 97 for 4 in the 12th over.However, van der Merwe and Seelaar stitched a stand of 39 runs in 32 balls, as van der Merwe struck three fours and a six. Even though he was bowled by Barry McCarthy in the 17th over, Netherlands needed another 23 runs from 20 balls and Seelaar’s unbeaten knock took them home.Earlier, Ireland opted to bat and their openers Paul Stirling (27 off 16) and James Shannon (31 off 21) gave them a flying start. They put on 58 runs by the fifth over but were both bowled within a space of nine balls and it reduced Ireland’s run rate thereafter. The middle order could not capitalise on the platform, as left-arm medium-pacer Fred Klaassen and van der Merwe strangled the scoring rate. William Porterfield and Wilson could not score at a strike rate of over 110 in the 62 combined balls they faced together to score a total of 65 runs and even though Kevin O’Brien struck 13 runs off six balls, 158 did not prove to be enough.
He will now rest the ankle for five days with the aim of returning to running on Tuesday and hopes to face Surrey later in July
George Dobell05-Jul-2018Stuart Broad will return to competitive cricket on July 22 in a bid to prove his fitness ahead of the Test series against India.Broad was forced off the pitch during Nottinghamshire’s Championship match against Worcestershire last week after experiencing pain in his left ankle. He has subsequently had several scans – none of which are understood to have shown a major problem – and a painkilling injection.He will now rest the ankle for five days with the aim of returning to running on Tuesday. If that goes as plans, he will play in the Championship match against Surrey at Trent Bridge that starts on the 22nd. The Test series against India starts in Birmingham on August 1.”I’ve had some injections in my left ankle for an ongoing ligament problem,” Broad confirmed in a post on Instagram.It leaves England with some concerns over the fitness of both their senior bowlers. James Anderson, who has been managing a shoulder problem for some time, will play two games ahead of the Test series – one a 2nd XI match and one a Championship match against Yorkshire – as he looks to prove his fitness.Plans to select either of them for either an England Lions match against India A or in Surrey’s side to play West Indies A have been abandoned.
Leeds United appointed Daniel Farke as their new head coach over the summer and backed their new man throughout the transfer window.
The board allowed him to sign Glen Kamara, Ethan Ampadu, Karl Darlow, Ilia Gruev, Sam Byram, Joel Piroe, Joe Rodon, Jaidon Anthony, and Djed Spence permanently or on loan in order to bolster his playing squad.
Farke's biggest signing was his swoop to sign Piroe from Championship rivals Swansea City for a fee that has been reported to be in excess of £10m.
Leeds forward Joel Piroe.
There has, however, been some discourse over the German head coach's use of the attacker as he has been deployed in a number ten role behind Georginio Rutter, despite being a prolific scorer as a striker for the Swans.
The former Norwich City boss expertly explained his reasoning by stating that his strikers need to excel at pressing and using their movement to stretch defences due to the number of teams who are 'parking the bus' against them.
With this in mind, Farke could secure an excellent January signing by revisiting his reported interest in Aberdeen dynamo Duk, who would be perfect for the number nine role in his current system and allow him to finally ditch Patrick Bamford.
Where Leeds interested in Duk?
Journalist Darren Witcoop reported, in the middle of August, that Leeds had sent scouts to watch the exciting marksman in action against Celtic and that rivals Southampton were also showing an interest in him.
He added that this was with a view to them launching a bid for his services before the summer transfer window slammed shut but a move never materalised and the talented gem remained with the Dons for the first half of this season.
His former coach, Joao Tralhao, once hailed him as a "powerful" striker who works hard to "press" the opposition with his aggressive style of play.
This, perhaps, shines a light on why Leeds and Farke were interested in the Scottish Premiership ace over the summer as he has the physical attributes to thrive and be perfect for the central striker in the German tactician's fluid attacking system.
Where did Duk start his career?
Duk started his professional career in Portugal with Benfica and caught the eye for their reserve side to earn himself a move to Aberdeen last year.
The Cape Verde international scored 11 goals and produced one assist in 42 matches for their B team after a prolific spell at U23 level.
Aberdeen forward Duk.
He racked up 18 goals and five assists in 41 outings for the Portuguese giants' U23 outfit, which included 17 strikes in 34 league games throughout the 2019/20 campaign, to earn himself a step up to the B side.
This impressive form from the young gem convinced Aberdeen to take a gamble on him in the summer of 2022 and that move paid off for the Scottish team last term.
How many goals did Duk score last season?
The 23-year-old ace scored 16 goals in 29 Scottish Premiership starts for the Dons throughout the 2022/23 season and proved himself to be a reliable scorer at that level.
Duk contributed with 16 goals and six assists in 33 league outings in total, to go along with two goals in five appearances in the League Cup, as he hit the ground running in Scotland.
The dynamic attacker, who missed seven 'big chances', also showcased his ability to drive his team forward with 1.6 completed dribbles per game.
Albeit at a different level, no Leeds player scored more than 13 goals or completed more than 1.3 dribbles per match during the Premier League season last term.
How many goals did Bamford score last season?
Bamford, in particular, endured a frustrating season in front of goal as the former England international scored four goals in 28 top-flight appearances.
The ex-Chelsea prospect started 18 league matches and could not blame his lack of goals on the quality of services that his teammates were providing as the dud missed a whopping 13 'big chances' and had an xG of 8.61, as per Sofascore.
Leeds striker Patrick Bamford.
Bamford, who Farke named alongside Rutter for his pressing qualities, has not been a reliable player, in terms of performances or availability, since the start of the 2021/22 campaign.
The 30-year-old marksman has missed a staggering 40 competitive matches through injury since the summer of 2021 and has contributed with six goals in four league outings during that period.
He has made three appearances as a substitute so far this season in the Championship and is yet to get off the mark with a goal or an assist for Farke's side.
Should Leeds swoop for Duk?
Therefore, the Leeds head coach should reignite his interest in the 5 foot 11 Aberdeen star as it would allow the German boss to finally ditch Bamford, who has been a liability in recent seasons.
There is no immediate need for the Whites to sign a player who will immediately hit the ground running as the starting number nine, as Rutter has enjoyed a strong start to the season, and this means that Duk could come in to replace the English forward and compete for a starting spot.
Rutter has scored two goals and created a staggering ten 'big chances' for his teammates in ten Championship appearances so far this term. This does not suggest that Farke needs to sign a player who will come in as an upgrade on the former Hoffenheim man.
However, Duk's pressing qualities alongside his impressive form in front of goal for Aberdeen last term suggest that he would offer more than Bamford and provide the French gem with more competition for his place in the side.

At the age of 23, Leeds would also be signing a player with potential who could be a long-term addition, which is another reason why he would be perfect for Farke, who has stated his desire to work with and develop young prospects.
His market value could grow during his time at Elland Road and they could benefit from his talent on the pitch for many years to come and then go on to cash in on him for a significant profit in the future.
The January transfer window, however, is still a couple of months away from opening and it remains to be seen how Duk and Bamford's respective form will go between now and then.
The international break is always an interminable slog, but for Premier League table-toppers Tottenham Hotspur, it will feel like a lifetime after blitzing into form under the management of Ange Postecoglou.
Despite enduring a challenging 2022/23 campaign that resulted in an eighth-placed finish in the top-flight and the dismissal of Antonio Conte, the arrival of Postecoglou has stemmed the malaise and rekindled the fluidity that was so prominent during the days of Mauricio Pochettino.
The complete transformation has been commendable and the results are illustrated through the progress on the pitch, with there now a real sense that Spurs can compete against the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool for the league title.
James Maddison is the salient arrival, pumping inventive creativity into the centre of the pitch and earning adulation from pundit Jermaine Jenas, who said that he is "on the verge of being a world-class talent."
But he's not the only contributor to the revival, with a host of existing stars now tapping into their potential and looking every bit comfortable in a Premier League side targetting silver-laden success.
With six victories and two draws from the opening eight matches of the term, the Lilywhites are indeed flying, but Postecoglou will have to contend with several issues following the conclusion of the international sojourn.
Indeed, Tottenham secured victory over Luton Town last time out, but did so at a cost, with the industrious Yves Bissouma picking up a red card after Manor Solomon sustained a lengthy knee injury in training and is now sidelined indefinitely.
What happened to Manor Solomon?
Solomon announced himself on English shores with a prolific purple patch on loan with Fulham last season, scoring five goals in as many matches earlier in 2023 and earning praise for his “stunning” efforts by journalist Josh Bunting.
Such feats earned him a free transfer to Tottenham, having concluded his contract with Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk, and while he has not yet cemented a regular starting berth, the 37-cap Israel international has earned two assists – both against Burnley – from just five Premier League outings this season, starting twice.
As per FBref, he ranks among the top 2% of attacking midfielders and wingers across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for pass completion, the top 4% for goals scored, the top 4% for successful take-ons and the top 2% for tackles made per 90 – very much the protean threat.
The £60k-per-week gem offers a kind of dynamism that someone like Richarlison doesn't boast in the same regard, having been dubbed a "pocket rocket" by pundit Jamie Redknapp.
While Richarlison is indeed the first choice option on the left wing, he has not proved himself reliable despite improving on his dismal form from last season, and, as such, Postecoglou could use the current seasonal pause to assess his options and tinker at his team.
Heung-min Son, now club captain, has been exceptional this season and is thriving up front, having scored six goals across his last five Premier League matches, and while he will continue to serve in the role over the season, it might be wise for his manager to shift him back into his natural position on the left to accommodate summer signing Alejo Veliz.
How much did Tottenham pay for Alejo Veliz?
Several days prior to Tottenham legend Harry Kane's £86m plus add-ons transfer to Bayern Munich in August, young and exciting forward Veliz was added to the squad.
Alejo Veliz
The 20-year-old Argentina prospect joined from Rosario Central for a reported £13m fee, signing a six-year deal with the London club and continuing the emphasis on fresh, younger arrival, reshaping and remoulding a Spurs side that has languished below the desired standard for some time now.
Fabrizio Romano hailed him a "talented" player and while he has yet to make his mark at Tottenham, he will likely get an increased opportunity over the coming months, with Solomon's absence something he could use advantageously to wedge his way into Postecoglou's plans.
How good is Alejo Veliz?
Last season, in the Liga Professional, Veliz plundered 11 goals and two assists from 23 matches, leading South American content creator Nathan Joyes to praise his "exciting" attributes.
Tall and imposing, Veliz has been noted for having the making of the "complete" centre-forward by talent scout Jacek Kulig, who also highlighted his "finishing, instinct, athleticism, movement."
So far, he has only made two appearances for Tottenham with both coming in the dying embers of the club's past two Premier League matches, but his natural prowess as a striker could be something well-placed for his outfit's success, especially during spells when Richarlison may fall out of form.
Son ranks among the top 15% of attacking midfielders and wingers across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for goals scored per 90 and has posted 151 goals and 80 assists across 381 matches since joining the club.

And given that Veliz has been firing at a greater rate than the 31-year-old over the past year while also dwarfing his impact in aerial situations, Postecoglou must now provide him with his very first starting berth since arriving on English shores a few months ago.
Obviously, Son has been in fine form over recent weeks and his rate of scoring illustrates that, but Veliz offers a different dimension to the centre-forward position and could thrive as the focal point with his towering presence.
And while Son is indeed flourishing at present, he's hardly unproven as a threat from the left channel, and could offer the kind of offensive security to allow Veliz to integrate into the rigours of Premier League football.
The Spaniard stood up tall to keep out two of the visitors' spot-kicks to send Mikel Arteta's side into the last eight
Across 210+ minutes of their Champions League last-16 tie with Arsenal, Porto tried every dirty trick in the book. Led by rattler in chief, 41-year-old Pepe, Sergio Conceicao's side wasted time at every opportunity, feigned injuries and did all in their power to unsettle a Gunners side unversed in the sharp end of European competition.
It might have done the trick too, if not for David Raya. Brought in amid much controversy in the summer, Arsenal will be toasting their Spanish shot-stopper in the days that follow, with his two saves in the penalty shootout booking Arsenal's place in the quarter-finals after the aggregate scores were level 1-1 following extra-time in Tuesday's second leg.
The tension that had been building at the Emirates in a fractious first-half was fleetingly punctured just before the break, thanks to a moment of exquisite brilliance by Martin Odegaard. The Gunners captain somehow threaded a ball through to Leandro Trossard, and the Belgian slid it through Pepe's legs and into the bottom corner.
Buoyed by their goal, Arsenal breached Porto's resistance more frequently after the interval and they even had the net bulging in the 69th minute, only for Odegaard's effort to be chalked off for a foul on Pepe by Kai Havertz in the build-up. Substitute Gabriel Jesus and Odegaard – again – then had half-chances to win it, but neither could convert, sending the game to extra-time.
The Gunners rather ran out of steam in the additional period, however, meaning things had to be settled by a penalty shootout. Here, Raya stood up tall, keeping out Galeno and Wendell's efforts from 12 yards to send Arsenal through at the expense of the valiant, but entirely cynical, Portuguese side.
GOAL rates Arsenal's players from the Emirates Stadium…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
David Raya (10/10):
Radiated composure to the rest of the back four in normal time, barring one fumble. Heroic in the shootout, saving one superbly and getting his hand to another.
Ben White (6/10):
Beaten by a few balls over the top, but generally put in another solid display, balancing his attacking and defensive responsibilities well.
William Saliba (5/10):
Looked overwhelmed by the occasion at times and made a string of uncharacteristic, unforced errors.
Gabriel Magalhaes (7/10):
Made a couple of important interventions. More comfortable in possession than his defensive partner.
Jakub Kiwior (6/10):
Made very few errors, and was helpful in possession without doing anything too flashy.
AdvertisementGetty ImagesMidfield
Declan Rice (6/10):
Pushed into a more advanced role and was full of attacking endeavor, but not a great deal came off for him. Confident penalty.
Jorginho (7/10):
Conducted things nicely for much of the game, positioning his team-mates and keeping the ball ticking over.
Martin Odegaard (8/10):
Picked the rusty Porto lock with an unbelievable pass. Remained Arsenal's best chance of creating a goal throughout and steered an effort just wide himself. Of course he scored his penalty too.
Getty ImagesAttack
Bukayo Saka (5/10):
Not up to his usual high standards. Decision-making and execution in the final third was off all evening. At least he was reliable from 12 yards.
Kai Havertz (5/10):
Drifted in and out of proceedings, sometimes frustrating with his lack of movement. His foul on Pepe, which led to a goal being ruled out, was unnecessary too. Ice cool spot-kick, however.
Leandro Trossard (7/10):
Showed flashes of brilliance in the first half before finishing well for the opener. Delivery was pretty good all night.

Gabriel Jesus (6/10):
Nearly scored with his first touch, but his effort was smothered by Costa. Kept plugging away.
Oleksandr Zinchenko (5/10):
Came on in the second half of extra-time and made a couple of mistakes.
Eddie Nketiah (5/10):
Pretty ineffectual in an admittedly brief cameo.
Mikel Arteta (6/10):
Set up his side to target the space in wide areas and it was fairly effective. Probably waited too long to freshen it up with subs, but his decision to replace Ramsdale this summer was further vindicated by Raya's fireworks.
James Anderson could play for Surrey as England look to ensure his full fitness ahead of the Test series against India

James Anderson could play for Surrey against West Indies A next month as England look to ensure his full fitness ahead of the Test series against India.Anderson, so much a one-club man that he has an end named after him at his home ground of Old Trafford, is currently sidelined due to a longstanding shoulder problem. While the England camp originally suggested they were looking at the Championship match between Anderson’s Lancashire side and their arch-rivals Yorkshire at Old Trafford from July 22 as Anderson’s comeback game, it now appears they are also considering Surrey’s match against West Indies A starting on July 16.The idea – understood to have come from acting England Team Director, Andy Flower – may raise a few eyebrows. Not only is it a bit of a surprise that England want Anderson to play an extra first-class game ahead of the Test series, but England Lions start a four-day first-class match against India A at New Road on the same day. It may be relevant, however, that the Surrey game is only three days.There is precedent for such arrangements, however. Andrew Strauss was drafted into the Somerset side to play India A at Taunton in 2011 as he struggled for form. His own county, Middlesex, did not have a match that week. Strauss subsequently scored a century for Somerset and averaged 38.16 in the Test series against India.Anderson recently described the schedule for the Test series against India – which feature five Tests in six weeks – as ridiculous. The series starts at Edgbaston on August 1, with the final Test starting at The Oval on September 7.
Demitido junto aos seus auxiliares (Jordi Guerrero e Jordi Gris), Domènec Torrent deixou o Flamengo nesta segunda-feira. O técnico ainda irá se despedir dos jogadores, presencialmente, mas já aproveitou o recurso das redes sociais para externar agradecimentos e deixar um recado à torcida rubro-negra.

– Como já é de conhecimento público, hoje deixei de ser treinador do Flamengo.Quero agradecer aos jogadores porque com eles compartilhamos muitas horas de trabalho, alegrias das vitórias, as dores das derrotas. Agradeço também o clube, médicos, preparadores, pessoal de staff, Marcos Braz e demais dirigentes do Clube. Meu agradecimento em especial a esta grande torcida. Obrigado, Nação Rubro Negra! Vocês ficarão para sempre em meu coração!Um grande abraço! – postou o catalão, em suas redes sociais.
Aos 58 anos,Torrent deixa o comando do time com 14 vitórias, quatro empates e seis derrotas (aproveitamento de 64,1%), além do time classificado para as quartas de final da Copa do Brasil, para as oitavas de final da Copa Libertadores e em terceiro lugar do Brasileirão. Ele foi anunciado como treinador do Flamengo em 31 de julho.
A demissão de Dome acontece após duas goleadas sofridas no Brasileiro: 4 a 1 para o São Paulo, no Maracanã, e 4 a 0 para o Atlético-MG, no Mineirão. As seguidas falhas – coletivas e individuais -, em especial no sistema defensivo, também pesaram para a decisão da diretoria em demitir Dome após 99 dias de trabalho – o primeiro treino sob o comando do espanhol foi em 3 de agosto.
Até o momento, o Flamengo tem Rogério Ceni com o principal alvo. Uma consulta ao estafe do treinador e ao Fortaleza já foi feita, inclusive, e a diretoria rubro-negra está confiante na contratação do ex-goleiro.
Por ora, Maurício Souza, do time sub-20 do Flamengo, comanda os treinos e o jogo desta quarta-feira, diante do São Paulo, no Maracanã e pela ida das quartas da Copa do Brasil.
