da stake casino： Herói da Libertadores do Palmeiras, Deyverson estreou neste sábado pelo Cuiabá, mas o que chamou atenção foi as simulações do atacante que valorizou lances faltosos durante a partida – como a da famosa falta “cometida” pelo árbitro na final que garantiu o tri da América para o Alviverde paulista.

da cassino online： Deyverson chegou a causar a expulsão de Vitor Leque após “voar” em um lance de dividida. Porém, o árbitro foi chamado pelo VAR e acabou convertendo o vermelho em um cartão amarelo. Em outro lance, um jogador passa a mão na cabeça do atacante que, caido no chão, simula algo a mais no lance.

Vitor Leque, do Juventude, tinha sido expulso após este lance com o Deyverson.

Aí o árbitro olhou a imagem no VAR, entendeu que o atacante do Cuiabá valorizou, tirou o vermelho e mostrou o amarelo. #BrasileirãoSerieA pic.twitter.com/VBss2c7mC2

As reações geraram “amor e ódio” nas redes sociais. Alguns apontaram que amavam o jeito do jogador, já outros repudiaram e até o chamaram de ator.

-Não entendo como o Deyverson ainda não foi escalado como protagonista de uma novela das 9 – disse um torcedor.

Sendo advogado do diabo, mas o jogador adversário parece tentar meter as unhas na cabeça do Deyverson. É ridículo? Absolutamente. Se simular pênalti é para amarelo, imagina simular agressão para gastar tempo? O fato de não ser punido é que incentiva essa palhaçada.

Junaid Khan’s journey over the last two years has not been an easy one but at the MCG on Sunday, he paired with Mohammad Amir to script an important win for the side

Osman Samiuddin15-Jan-2017Well, he twisted his knee in a fielding drill in October 2014. Then, curse his luck, once recovered he slipped and was out again, missing the 2015 World Cup; he was part of the squad for the 2011 World Cup but didn’t play a single game.If he hadn’t injured his knee though, something else might have given way. From the time he began his international career, right after the 2011 World Cup, to the time he played his last international before the injury, the only Pakistani with more overs, across formats, under his belt was Saeed Ajmal. Only six fast bowlers around the world bowled more in that time, and none had to do it for as long on surfaces and outfields as unforgiving. He was in the process of being bowled into the ground.They said he had lost a bit of nip, a bit of that something that nobody can satisfactorily describe better other than that it is a little extra some bowlers get off the surface, a skid, a bit of cut, something, anything that makes them appear a little quicker and more dangerous than the speed gun says. Most likely that wicked whip in his wrist as he released the ball generated it.But it was gone, they said. When he returned, he looked like he had lost everything. He was hammered here, there and everywhere. There was no nip, no swing, nothing off the surface, just some very tired-looking deliveries. Not everyone thought he was finished. Some just felt he needed a bit of time to regain that verve.Not playing much first-class cricket that’s for sure. Since being dropped by Pakistan before the start of the 2015-16 domestic season, Junaid played in five Quaid-e-Azam trophy games over two seasons, out of a possible 20. You might think a player wanting to get back in to the side would do more of that.But it wasn’t entirely his fault. He’d been around Pakistan A squads, playing in the UAE and there was a lot of T20 cricket in the meantime (37 games, in fact). In August last year he got so angry at not being considered for selection he complained on Twitter. He said he hadn’t been allowed by the board to play in T20 leagues or county cricket. Pakistan cut him from their central contracts list, but granted him permission to play in the Bangladesh Premier League.A guy’s got to make a living, and nobody knows that better than a Pakistan cricketer hung in the purgatory between being a current cricketer or a former.Not playing for England, that much was clear. Remember not long ago, those bizarre reports surfaced that Junaid was so annoyed at not being selected he was thinking of settling in England, where his wife’s family lives? He shut those down pretty quickly.Being a managing director for ‘Suits Me’. You read that right: Pakistan fast bowler Junaid Khan, managing director for a Pakistani clothing retail brand mostly found in the UK. A guy’s got to make a living right?Overcoming a terrible personal tragedy. Last year, he and his wife lost their first child during birth. Forget careers, these are things that can unhinge a life.Bowling with Mohammad Amir, Junaid Khan troubled the Australia batsmen•Getty ImagesDeveloping a bit of a sulk apparently, the kind almost all Pakistani fast bowlers carry along almost as a legitimate bowling variation. We used to think Junaid, of all Pakistan’s fast bowlers, was a fairly straightforward, simple guy. You know what? Who straightforward? Nobody. Even Umar Gul has thrown the occasional strop. Every being is complicated and it turned out Junaid was too, and why not? It would’ve been weirder if he didn’t, given what his career had gone through.What he needed, especially when he was returning from injury and was then out of the team, was a little more TLC; somebody to tell him that he was still part of their plans and would remain there, somebody to make him feel a little special. He’s a fast bowler – they need caring.Well, ok, fine. Mohammad Amir.You heard: Mohammad Amir, the boy-man this boy-man was supposed to replace. Junaid replaced him alright and he did more – he became a balm to that wound. And then Amir came back. He waltzed back actually, his return fast-tracked. Some players didn’t like that and said so, but they weren’t the ones under direct threat of his return.Nobody asked Junaid what he felt. How do you think he must have felt, striving, sweating, straining, bleeding to get back in the side and here’s this guy, five years out, banished in jail, walking back in literally as the first name on the team sheet? This guy whose sins he worked so hard to wash away? How that must have stung.Then Wahab Riaz came back, and Rahat Ali and Imran Khan emerged, and even Sohail Khan re-emerged and Junaid just kept slipping: in his mind he must have been one of those crabs of the bucket, unable to get out because he keeps getting pulled down by the others trying to get out.It had to be Amir too, with whom his own career is unavoidably intertwined. They came through Under-19 cricket together pretty much, playing ten U-19 ODIs and one ‘Test’ together a whole decade ago. Amir took 24 wickets in those ten limited-overs games and Junaid 10. To most that made sense: Amir was the golden child and Junaid, older by over two years, just another promising young bowler. A minority thought Junaid might become the better bowler eventually. Amir did fulfill many of those early prophesies, but Junaid also eventually looked, for a long time, an equal of Amir. Sometimes – whisper this – he even looked a little better. No view has won out yet, though tortured followers of Pakistan cricket will at least be happy that there is finally, belatedly, an opportunity to put them to test.Side by side they opened the bowling at the MCG, a belated, unexpected coming together: Junaid would not have been here but for the misfortune of Mohammad Irfan (you might well ask where Irfan is this time next year). Their first time together at senior international level; once the boy wonder and his understudy; then the usurper and his shadow; now the redeemed and the returnee.Amir was quicker, Junaid more troublesome, left-arm fast both, different in many ways but not different like either might be to Wahab and Rahat. What was it? Their lengths perhaps, both consistently fuller, as full as you can get without being a half volley, both brave, strong and smart enough to go that full. Amir ended with one more wicket, the one that would’ve been Junaid’s but for an umpiring error. How’s that for scriptwriting? Almost as good as the one that had them both scripting Pakistan’s first win in Australia on this tour, their first win against Australia in Australia in 12 years and their first at the MCG against these opponents since 1985.Junaid’s back is where he is, for now.

Manchester United are now racing Barcelona and Real Madrid for the signature of a “total footballer”, who is attracting growing interest from across Europe.

Man Utd eyeing midfielder amid Mainoo uncertainty

There are now doubts over Kobbie Mainoo’s future at Old Trafford, with it recently being revealed the young Englishman is pressuring INEOS to sell him to Real Madrid in January, viewing the Santiago Bernabéu as a dream destination.

Mainoo has been unable to force his way into Ruben Amorim’s plans, having made just two appearances in the Premier League so far this season, both of which coming as a substitute.

It is perhaps no surprise the 20-year-old is looking to leave his boyhood club, given that receiving regular game time will be crucial to his chances of going to the 2026 World Cup, having been omitted from the most recent England squad.

With the youngster’s future up in the air, the Red Devils are looking to sign a new midfielder, identifying Brighton & Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba as a target, and they are expected to hold a meeting with the 21-year-old.

Baleba is not the only young central midfielder on the shortlist, however, with a report from Caught Offside revealing that Man United have now joined the race for Ajax maestro Jorthy Mokio, who is attracting growing interest from across Europe.

The likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea are also keeping a close eye on Mokio, who is capable of playing in both defensive midfield and at centre-back, with the 17-year-old’s versatility deemed to be one of his key strengths.

Ajax are eager to keep hold of the teenager, whose contract doesn’t expire until 2027, but a bid in the region of €30m (£26m) could make the Dutch club reconsider their stance.

"Total footballer" Mokio is one for the future

The Gent-born midfielder/defender has already established himself as a first-team regular for Ajax, which is an encouraging sign, making 22 appearances for the Eredivisie side, and scout Ben Mattinson believes he is a very talented youngster.

Mattinson also adds: “Mokio on the ball is exceptional. Sprays passes effortlessly and plays through the press like a quality midfielder.”

The Ajax starlet’s defensive ability has been on display regularly over the course of the past year, while also proving himself as an impressive dribbler of the ball.

With Baleba expected to cost over £100m, it would make sense for Man United to target a low-cost alternative, and Mokio’s potential availability for around £26m makes him an attractive option.

Combine that price tag with his ability to play at centre-back too, notably hailed as “one of the most talented teenage CBs in world football” by scout Jacek Kulig, this is certainly a saga to keep an eye on.

The mood around Arsenal at the moment is a positive one.

They’ve won three of four games in the Premier League, won their first Champions League game of the season and have only conceded one goal in all five matches.

Moreover, while they are still likely to get called negative and boring by some in the media, the Gunners are playing some nice football.

One of the reasons has been the impressive form of Noni Madueke, who is proving plenty of his doubters wrong so far.

However, while the former Chelsea star is looking like a great signing, Arsenal already had a homegrown version of him years ago, and now that player is one of the best in the world.

Madueke's start to life at Arsenal

It wouldn’t be unfair to say that Madueke’s first few games at Arsenal weren’t overly impressive, as while he offered some threat against Liverpool and did well enough off the left against Leeds, he didn’t blow anyone away.

However, since coming back from a successful international break in which he forced an own goal against Andorra and opened his own account against Serbia, he’s looked near enough unplayable.

For example, while he didn’t register a goal involvement against Forest, the 23-year-old dynamo was a constant threat down the right-hand side, taking 65 touches, completing five dribbles, playing five key passes, creating one big chance and registering an impressive expected assists figure of 0.71.

However, even without the data, it was clear that the Englishman was doing some things right by the eye-test, and the way in which the crowd would react excitedly whenever he was on the ball in a dangerous area.

It was much of the same against Bilbao, as he was once again a constant and direct threat on the right-hand side.

In fact, he should have really racked up an assist, as after driving into the box in the first half, he delivered a brilliant pass to Eberechi Eze’s feet, only for him to take too long to shoot and lose the ball.

Overall, Madueke is really starting to show supporters and pundits alike just why Arteta wanted to sign him.

However, there is another winger on the continent who was once in Arsenal’s academy, someone who could have been their homegrown version of the former Chelsea ace.

Arsenal's former homegrown Madueke

Like any other big club, Arsenal have let their fair share of future stars go as youngsters, from Harry Kane to the recently re-signed Eze.

Where Are They Now

Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast’s Where Are They Now series.

However, perhaps one of the very worst instances of this for the Gunners is Michael Olise.

Before spending time in the academies of Chelsea, Manchester City and Reading, the young Frenchman spent a short period in Hale End.

The small saving grace here, then, is the fact that a couple of other ‘big six’ sides passed up on the incredible talent, but given his outrageous performances for Crystal Palace and now Bayern Munich, it must still frustrate the Gunners’ hierarchy that they didn’t keep him on the books.

Since moving to Germany for £50m last summer, the 23-year-old has been on fire.

In 61 appearances, totalling 4382 minutes, the ten-capped game-changer has scored 24 goals and provided 25 assists.

That breaks down to an outrageously impressive average of a goal involvement every 1.24 games, or every 89.42 minutes, and more than justifies Oliver Glasner’s claim that he’s “one of the best talents in the world.”

Now, while he is clearly a more dangerous player than Madueke at the moment, there are some similarities between the pair, notably their ability to carry the ball into dangerous areas.

For example, FBref ranks the Bayern star in the top 4% of attacking midfielders and wingers in Europe’s top five leagues for carries into the final third and the top 8% for overall carries.

In comparison, the Gunners’ new star sits in the top 1% for progressive carries and carries into the penalty area.

Even then, we can be fairly certain that Arsenal would rather have Olise in their team, and had they kept hold of him all those years ago, perhaps they would’ve had their own world-class homegrown Madueke.

Arteta has struck gold with Arsenal trio who cost as much as Eze combined

The Arsenal trio will be key to the club’s Premier League ambitions this season.

ByJack Salveson Holmes Sep 17, 2025

Will West Ham United continue to be busy in the final few days of the transfer window?

On Friday, the Hammers announced the arrival of not one but two new central midfielders; Matheus Fernandes arriving from Southampton for £38m, while Soungoutou Magassa has joined from Monaco for £18m.

This takes the Irons’ summer spending up to £94m, having also acquired Mads Hermansen for £20m, El Hadji Malick Diouf for £19m and both Kyle Walker-Peters and Callum Wilson on free transfers.

However, given that Graham Potter’s team have played three and lost three so far this season, smashed by Sunderland and Chelsea in the Premier League, also dumped out of the EFL Cup by Wolves, he’ll be demanding more, especially defensively, so could a new centre-back arrive?

West Ham's need for a new centre-back

As already alluded to, despite the fact Potter deploys a back five and two holding midfield players, the Hammers have conceded eight goals in their first two top-flight matches for the first time in their entire history.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

Jean-Clair Todibo, Max Kilman and Nayef Aguerd have been the starting centre-back trio for both matches who, between them, cost £105m in transfer fees, but they’re not playing like it at the moment, with the latter coming in for the most criticism.

After falling out of favour, Aguerd actually spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad, making it somewhat surprising that he’s been immediately reinstated as first-choice upon his return, so could the Hammers sign an upgrade?

Well, as reported by BBC Sport, West Ham are plotting a move to sign centre-back Charlie Cresswell from Toulouse.

Elsewhere, it has been reported that it could require a fee of around £18m to secure the signature of the 23-year-old, who only joined les Violets from Leeds for £3.8m as recently as last year.

Earlier this summer, Aaron Cresswell departed East London as a free agent, joining Stoke, so could his namesake be set to arrive at the London Stadium?

What Charlie Cresswell would bring to West Ham

Cresswell has certainly enjoyed a memorable last 12 months, making 36 appearances for Toulouse, including starting both of their Ligue 1 matches this season, helping le Téfécé keep clean sheets during victories over both Nice and then Stade Brestois.

Meantime, over the summer, he was a stalwart in the England side that won the under-21 European Championships in Slovakia, playing every minute of all six matches, scoring against Czechia in Dunajská Streda.

His performances earned him a place in the team of the tournament, as chosen by the UEFA Technical Observer panel, while journalist Henry Winter praised his leadership qualities, while Gary Rowett, who was his manager at Millwall, labelled Cresswell “excellent”, adding that he was “hugely important” to his team.

During his Leeds career, the young defender made just five Premier League appearances, totalling 140 minutes, but his impressive performances both in Ligue 1 and for the Young Lions could land him a second opportunity.

However, would he represent an upgrade on Aguerd? Let’s find out.

As the table documents, when comparing Cresswell at Toulouse to Aguerd at Real Sociedad, it is the Englishman who boasts better defensive metrics, pretty much across the board.

The 23-year-old comes out on top in terms of aerial duels, clearances, interceptions and blocks, which is pretty much everything you would want from a central defender.

Thus, all available evidence suggests the young Englishman would improve this very leaky West Ham back line.

Aston Villa had to deal with some difficulties within the summer window, though they could be about to pounce to sign a star who is set to be on the market in January.

Aston Villa move on after frustrating window disrupted by PSR

Without going over old ground too much, the Villans were heavily hamstrung by PSR during the summer, and it is fair to say that Unai Emery didn’t have a tonne of freedom to acquire players in the West Midlands.

Late deals that saw Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott sign for Aston Villa provide squad depth, while Victor Lindelof has joined on a free transfer after his release from Manchester United.

Nevertheless, many supporters feel the Villans have been held to a higher standard than others by the authorities, something that Marc Albrighton has hammered home in a recent phone-in session on BBC Radio West Midlands.

He stated: “It is really frustrating because the Leicester victory was 10 years ago and somebody brings it up every single day – that is how special it was. To take that opportunity away from potentially happening to other clubs is scandalous really.

“I just think the PSR issue really needs sorting out. It’s so frustrating for clubs like Villa that have got the money but can’t they spend it. Then they are having to sell other players too – it’s making a mess. I think there’s a few things at the minute which needs looking at in football and that is one of them.”

If finances permit, Aston Villa are eyeing a £40 million move for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta in January. However, they are also plotting to add a new face to their backline that may arrive into conversation at a similar ballpark.

Aston Villa plot move to sign Athletic Club star Dani Vivian

According to reports in Spain, Aston Villa are plotting a move to sign Athletic Club defender Dani Vivian in January, though will need to compete with Premier League pair Manchester United and Newcastle United for his signature.

Putting him within reach financially, the 26-year-old has a release clause worth about £34.7 million, making him someone that could arrive for a relatively modest fee while strengthening Emery’s squad for the second half of the campaign.

Worth more than Isak: Aston Villa have hit the jackpot on "unstoppable" gem

Aston Villa have the tools to make it another fantastic season under Unai Emery’s management.

ByAngus Sinclair Sep 5, 2025

Labelled “colossal” by Thom Harris, Vivian scored four times in 46 appearances last term and has started 2025/26 by playing a part in three consecutive La Liga victories, including a clean sheet against Rayo Vallecano.

Illustrating his quality of distribution from deep, the 26-year-old has maintained a pass accuracy rate of 79% in the Spanish top-flight, per Fotmob, completing 109 successful passes in total.

Aston Villa were hampered in their attempts to recruit properly this summer, though may now be set to atone for their frustrating window once the January market period gets underway.

Run machines – check. Pace-bowling depth – check. A gamechanger and an all-round star – check. It was a summer of plenty for Australia

Andrew McGlashan08-Jan-2023

Warner, Khawaja, Labuschagne and Smith cash in

Either side of a two-day Test at the Gabba, it was a summer of runs for Australia’s top order.The first innings in Brisbane was the only time they were bowled out and, for the first time, everyone from No. 1 to No. 5 made a score of at least 175. If Usman Khawaja had been able to get his 200 at the SCG it would have been just the second time four batters had scored a double in a season after England in 2011.Whether David Warner’s MCG double is the prelude to a glorious finish to his career remains to be seen – he will have to overcome poor records in India and England – but in Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith they have three run machines. However, whether we see this top order together in a home Test again is uncertain. Warner may view the Ashes as an end-point and while Smith backed away from retirement talk it is certainly an ageing, though prolific, top order.Related

Travis Head – a gamechanger at home

The absence of one name above was not an oversight – Travis Head warrants a discussion of his own.After his pair of stunning Ashes hundreds last season, which earned him the Player-of-the-Series award, he has gone on to have another dominant home season. It says something that even with 99 and 175 against West Indies (chopping on against Kraigg Brathwaite and being run out), he felt he left a few out there. However, his best innings came on the devilish pitch at the Gabba where his 92 off 96 balls stood way above anything else produced in the game.His game-changing ability is certainly not a flash in the pan. Next for him, though, is turning around a poor record in the subcontinent. If he maintains the same attacking approach, it certainly won’t be dull to watch.Green will continue to be one of Australia’s most fascinating project players•Getty Images

The Cameron Green project

It wasn’t exactly an unexpected conclusion, but the discussions that went into the balance of the Australia side in Sydney – and the eventual combination they settled on – just emphasised the vital role Green has in the Test side. It had been a curious home season for Green, who, until Melbourne, suffered from a lack of cricket having been involved in the white-ball sides. A maiden five-wicket haul felt like a breakout moment and then his gusty half-century with a broken finger was more worthy than its overall impact on the result. Green will continue to be one of Australia’s most fascinating projects over the next few years as he learns to balance workloads and other demands now that the IPL has come calling with their mega millions.

Pace-bowling depth

It felt strong at the end of the last season. If anything, it feels even stronger now. Australia’s attack was once again able to seamlessly manage the loss of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood for the Adelaide Test with the return of Scott Boland and Michael Neser. Hazlewood, meanwhile, reminded everyone of his excellence at the SCG and Lance Morris, capable of 150kph, is now firmly in the mix. Sean Abbott and Mark Steketee remain high-quality domestic performers who may never get their chance but would not look out of their depth. An interesting one is Jhye Richardson, who was bowling superbly in the BBL before another untimely injury. If his body can stand up to the strain he may yet be a tempting option for the Ashes in England.Pat Cummins has been on his game on and off the field•Cricket Australia/Getty Images

Cummins ignores the noise

Earlier in the season, Cummins gave the impression, quite rightly, of not being the slightest bit bothered by some of the nonsense reactions to his very measured stance on a few of today’s big issues that stretch beyond the cricket field. Given what the opposition served up in the five Tests, this was not the most tactically challenging pair of series for him, but he did not make many mis-steps. Bowling first in consecutive Tests was out of the usual playbook; Brisbane may not have taken much thought, but the decision in Melbourne was a trickier one and it worked out perfectly, albeit with some help from South Africa, when it meant Australia weren’t bowling on the sweltering second day. Like the team as a whole, his tenure as captain will be defined by the next seven months.What about Marcus Harris?There was the briefest of glimpses of what’s next in the Australian batting line-up with Matt Renshaw being recalled in Sydney, although in the end he was limited to 11 balls. Peter Handscomb’s addition to the squad was also an indication that he will likely go to India.Spare a thought, therefore, for Marcus Harris. He travelled around throughout the season before being released back to the BBL midway through the SCG Test. If Renshaw had been subbed out with Covid, it’s unlikely he would have been the replacement. He will hope, that when an opening vacancy does occur, perhaps next summer, he remains the next in line. More broadly, though, the tag of next-big-thing in the batting remains up for grabs.

Michael Bracewell will continue as captain while uncapped Rhys Mariu has also been called up as batting cover

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Mar-2025Tom Latham has been ruled out of the ODI series against Pakistan after suffering a fractured hand during training with Michael Bracewell to lead the side in his absence while Henry Nicholls has been called up.Latham, who was due to the captain New Zealand with Mitchell Santner at the IPL, was struck on the right hand this week with x-rays confirming the extent of the damage.Related

– Tenho orgulho de ser o primeiro negro, nordestino, descendente de indígenas a ocupar a presidência da CBF. Sempre soube e sigo consciente da minha luta e das dificuldades que terei que passar ao longo da minha vida por não ter origem na elite do Brasil, de ter vindo do interior do Nordeste – declarou o presidente.

A entidade já tomou as medidas cabíveis nesse caso, que são: comunicar as autoridades policiais, visando a identificação e punição dos autores desses ataques, pois se tratam de crimes capitulados na legislação brasileira, inclusive punidos com pena de prisão.

Tillman added on settling into life at Leverkusen and his hopes for the immediate future: “Actually, the adjustment isn't too difficult, I'd say. Sure, it's different. The pace of the game is different, the tackling is tough, but I think I'm ready for it; I can keep up.

“I'm not yet satisfied with what I've shown so far. I know I can do more, I know I have to do more. That, too, will come with time.”
