A goleada por 4 a 0 sobre o Guarani na última quinta-feira (14) aproximou ainda mais o Cuiabá do acesso para a Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro. Com 58 pontos e apenas uma derrota nas sete últimas rodadas da Série B, a equipe mato-grossense voltou a viver um bom momento na reta final da competição.

Diante desse cenário, o volante Auremir destacou a relevância do bom resultado contra o time de Campinas e também a consciência do plantel que ainda existe um caminho a percorrer.
– Fizemos nosso papel que era vencer a partida. Demos um passo imenso rumo ao acesso e esperamos concretizá-lo tão logo seja possível, já que desta forma, teremos mais tranquilidade nas rodadas restantes. Estamos todos cientes porém, que ainda não conquistamos nada – afirmou.
Os três adversários finais do Cuiabá nesta edição da Série B serão Paraná, Sampaio Corrêa e CRB, clubes que vivem situações distintas no campeonato. Para Auremir, o fato não influenciará na maneira de atuar de sua equipe:
– Realmente os três times tem objetivos diferentes neste momento. Enquanto o Paraná luta para se manter na divisão, o Sampaio ainda sonha em subir e o CRB está numa condição mais tranquila. Nada disso no entanto interferirá no nosso estilo de jogo, que vem dando certo.
Manchester United clearly have the need to strengthen their ranks in the winter transfer market.
The Red Devils have endured a puzzling season to say the least in 2023/24, with obstacles seemingly permanently standing in the way of Erik ten Hag.
The Dutchman has had to deal with behind-the-scenes matters concerning Antony and Jadon Sancho while his summer recruits are yet to pull up many trees.
Andre Onana hasn't looked the part since replacing David De Gea, proving to be notably poor in the Champions League during the 3-3 draw with Galatasaray. As for Rasmus Hojlund, he is yet to find the net in the Premier League, even if a handful of European goals have been forthcoming.
The real issues, however, perhaps lie at the back. With Lisandro Martinez unfit and Raphael Varane not trusted, Ten Hag has had to turn to the likes of Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire. Yeah, not great.
Man United's January transfer plans
It won't come as a surprise to see that many of the rumours heading into the January transfer window revolve around defenders.
One target for the club, as per Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenburg is Jean-Clair Todibo. However, their top target is Benfica centre-back Antonio Silva.
It's thought the Portuguese youngster possesses an £88m release clause in his contract which could make any deal an easy, but costly one to wrap up.
Antonio Silva's best qualities
After a Champions League game last season, Jamie Carragher only had praise for a central defender who looks as though he's going right to the very top.
“I mentioned his defensive prowess. But goalscoring there as well. He is going to be a superstar," the former Liverpool star stated.
It's hard to disagree with that viewpoint, particularly when analysing the qualities that make the 23-year-old standout.
According to FBref, Silva ranks in the top 5% of centre-backs across Europe's top five leagues and continental competitions for short-range pass success with 95.5%. To put that into context, Ruben Dias is the best on the continent in this department over the last year with a 97% accuracy.
Silva is no slouch when it comes to longer passing either, ranking in the very best 1% for medium passes between 15-30 yards. That modern approach will clearly appeal to Ten Hag but the defender is also up for the battle at the back.
He is in the top 3% for percentage of dribblers tackled in Europe and notably, hasn't made a single error leading to an opposition shot on goal.
Antonio Silva's most comparable players
As per FBRef, one of the most similar players to the Benfica star is Arsenal sensation WIlliam Saliba.
The Frenchman has been one of the stars of recent times for Mikel Arteta's men and is a huge reason behind their title-challenging form over the last year.

Evidently, they both boast brilliant progressive attributes, whether it be through passing or carrying the ball, but they very rarely get beaten by their marker when it comes to a one-versus-one duel either.
With the United defence proving to be too much of a pushover without Martinez in the side, adding someone of Silva's calibre to their ranks will no doubt do wonders to help Ten Hag's project at Old Trafford grow.
Perry had earlier batted through the Sixers innings making 54 not out, taken a key wicket, made a crucial run out and held a vital catch before bowling the final over that saw the match end in a tie

Super over Is there anything Ellyse Perry can’t do?A stunning six in a Super Over saw the Sydney Sixers keep the dream of three consecutive titles alive scraping past the Melbourne Renegades in a remarkable game. They will face the Brisbane Heat in the WBBL final next Saturday following a day of heart-stopping semi-finals at the Drummoyne Oval in Sydney.Perry had earlier batted through the Sixers innings making 54 not out, taken a key wicket, made a crucial run-out and held a vital catch before bowling the final over that saw the match end in a tie. And after all of that, she clubbed Molly Strano for six off the fourth ball of the Super Over to win the game.Strano only had six runs to play with after Sixers pacer Marizanne Kapp had held the Renegades to four singles and a two.The Super Over was an anti-climax compared to the chaotic final ball sequence in the Renegades chase.Sophie Molineux, on 53 having controlled the chase magnificently, faced Perry needing three runs to win off the final ball. Molineux carved it just over backward point’s head. Erin Burns sprinted from deep cover-point to make a remarkable diving save to prevent the boundary. Sarah Aley was there in support to fire the throw to the keeper’s end. Molineux’s partner Claire Koski made her ground coming back for three but Molineux had been slower covering the ground. Alyssa Healy ripped her glove off, gathered Aley’s throw and fired to the non-striker’s and delivered a direct hit to catch a diving Molineux short to leave scores tied.Ellyse Perry celebrates Sophie Molineux’s run-out•Getty Images
Healy produced another direct hit run-out in Kapp’s excellent Super Over. Kapp found Dani Wyatt’s outside edge with a slower ball but the nick fell just short of Healy. Wyatt went to run but was sent back, only to be run out by Healy’s accurate underarm.Molineux’s remarkable innings was in vain. She made 55 off 54 balls only to be just inches short of winning the game. Her innings was even more special given the Renegades had slumped to 3 for 19 chasing 132. But she got superb support from Jess Duffin who made a vital 41 from 34 balls. But after Duffin and Courtney Webb fell, the Renegades needed 45 from the final four overs. Koski clubbed 19 from 14 to aid Molineux but left her needing 13 from the last over. Molineux struck a boundary first ball, but Burns’ save denied her a boundary off the last to save the game for the Sixers.Earlier, Perry and Dane van Niekerk saved the Sixers blushes with the bat with an unbeaten 98-run stand to set the Renegades a stiff target. The Sixers looked in a world of trouble losing three wickets in the Powerplay and slumping to 4 for 33 in the ninth over.Healy fell in the third over with only eight runs on the board, swiping a slog sweep straight down the throat of Wyatt at deep midwicket off Molineux. It was the fifth time in WBBL Healy fell to Molineux’s left-arm orthodox.Amy Satterthwaite’s bold move to place herself at slip to Lea Tahuhu paid immediate dividends, with the captain pouching a low catch from Ashleigh Gardner’s outside edge. Burns was run out after a horror mix-up with Perry before Sara McGlashan chipped a simple catch to cover-point off Georgia Wareham.Perry, in the form of her life, had struck her first ball for four but really struggled for fluency thereafter. Van Niekerk’s vast experience provided the perfect foil. Despite the horror scenario, the pair didn’t panic. They rotated the strike comfortably and ticked the scoreboard over without taking undue risks during a six-over rebuild. They then unleashed late. Perry reached her eighth score of 50 or more for the tournament. Van Niekerk’s 51 not out from 36 balls was even more valuable. The South African struck three fours and a six in the last three overs which proved pivotal in the end.
Despite the positive strides that have been made at Tottenham Hotspur under new boss Ange Postecoglou, the Greek-Aussie is seemingly aware that further reinforcements will be required in the new year if that momentum is to be maintained.
The former Celtic head coach only recently admitted that a new centre-back will be required amid the lack of depth behind the likes of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, with long-serving stalwart Eric Dier seemingly not considered a suitable option.
It is not just at the back, however, where improvements could well be made in the winter window, with further additions to help bolster the front line also required, following the loss of Harry Kane over the summer.
Centre-back transfer "more likely" in "good solution" for Spurs and Levy
He wants a move to England.
ByEmilio Galantini Dec 14, 2023
With that in mind – and amid the prior success of landing Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Serie A – the north Londoners could look the way of Italy again in order to snap up Genoa sensation, Albert Gudmundsson.
Spurs transfer news – Albert Gudmundsson
Reports back in early November indicated that Spurs were among the clubs showing an interest in the Icelandic talent, with former Lilywhites boss Jose Mourinho also said to be keeping tabs on the player at AS Roma.
The 26-year-old made the move to Italy back in the summer of 2022 and still has just under three years left to run on his existing deal, ensuring that Postecoglou and co may have to fork out a sizeable fee to secure his signature.
Currently valued at just €15m (£13m), however, according to CIES Football Observatory, there could be a case for the Premier League outfit to strike a real bargain next month, if they can reach an agreement for anywhere close to that figure.
Albert Gudmundsson's style of play
The former AZ Alkmaar man may not be the high-profile addition that some of a Spurs persuasion will be craving, yet the 5 foot 10 whiz has proven himself to be a real standout performer for his current side of late.
Typically operating through the middle or on the flanks, the in-demand talent has scored eight goals in just 16 games in all competitions this season, taking his total tally to 23 goals and six assists in 66 games for Genoa to date.
Such explosive form in Italy has even seen Gudmundsson likened to a certain Mohamed Salah by teammate Kevin Strootman, with the latter man previously having played alongside Salah at Roma, prior to the Egyptian's exploits at Liverpool.
luis-diaz-mohamed-salah-liverpool-opinion
While suggesting that Gudmundsson can still be somewhat inconsistent, like Salah was in Rome, Strootman hinted that his colleague could well follow in the Anfield hero's footsteps by exploding in the years to come:
“If he keeps improving, he won’t stay at Genoa for long. He reminds me of Salah when he was at Roma, in that every now and then he disappears. Much like Salah then, he would have four or five chances per match and only score at most one.
“They used to say that if Salah was more clinical, he would be playing for Liverpool, and that is exactly what happened. All joking aside, Gudmundsson is a devastating player and also an exemplary professional.”
Salah – who bagged 34 goals in 83 games at the Stadio Olimpico prior to moving to England – has been a phenomenon on Merseyside over the last six years or so, having only recently reached a landmark of 200 goals for the club.
If Gudmundsson can get anywhere close to such feats, then Spurs could have a real superstar on their hands.
How Gudmundsson compares to Richarlison
If the 35-cap international is to arrive through the door in 2024, it could well spell bad news for one of Postecoglou's current forwards, Richarlison, with the Brazilian still dividing opinion at N17 having scored just five league goals since the start of last season.
By contrast, while Gudmundsson was playing in Serie B last term – Italy's second tier – he does now boast 17 league goals since the start of 2022/23, having mirrored the Tottenham man's flexibility after featuring all across the front line.
Not only evidently more clinical in front of goal, the Genoa ace also has the creative prowess to match, as he ranks in the top 10% among his fellow forwards in Europe's top five leagues for progressive passes, as well as in the top 17% for progressive carries per 90.
Richarlison, by contrast, ranks in just the top 33% and the top 21% for those same two metrics, respectively, as a forward, while he is even seemingly outworked by his potential replacement, with Gudmundsson ranking in the top 1% for interceptions per 90, while the former Toffees man ranks in just the top 5% in that regard.
Not only a possible Salah 2.0 but also an upgrade on Richarlison in attack, Gudmundsson could represent an ideal, left-field acquisition for Postecoglou next month.

Qalandars crashed to PSL’s second-lowest total batting first. From there on, the final result was never in doubt
The Report by Danyal Rasool17-Feb-20192:08
Saqlain: ‘Hasan Ali has got his mojo back’
How the game played out Hasan Ali ripped through Lahore Qalandars’ much-vaunted top order, while fellow quick Wahab Riaz tore through the tail to dismiss the PSL’s most beleaguered franchise for 78, setting up a straightforward win for Peshawar Zalmi. The total was the second lowest in the PSL’s history. Lahore were also responsible for the lowest score – 59 – with that too coming against Peshawar in 2017.In response, Umar Amin eased any nerves Peshawar might have had after Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf removed the openers in the first two overs. Timing the ball sweetly, six fours in the space of two overs all but killed off the Lahore fightback, and for the few runs that remained, both sides were merely going through the motions. Just to please the crowd, Kieron Pollard finished the game with a monstrous six.Turning point The game’s never truly done while AB de Villiers is at the crease, so what did Hasan Ali do? He knocked back de Villiers’ stumps, of course. Having already taken two wickets in his second over, he pulled his line back as de Villiers charged him, comprehensively beating the inside edge. Not content with three wickets, he removed Brendan Taylor two balls later in almost identical fashion Lahore were 39 for four.PSL
Star of the day You’ll hear much about Hasan Ali and Wahab, and deservedly so, but just for aesthetics sake, why not give Amin a mention. He made his Test debut in the same match as Azhar Ali, but their fortunes have diverged significantly since. Never really celebrated as a T20 gem, he played an innings that had the effectiveness of modern T20 hitters and the elegance to get MCC members. Rarely swiping against the line or hitting the ball in the air, he scythed through Lahore’s field with consistent results, bringing up his half-century in 34 balls and scoring 61 of Peshawar’s 81. The overwhelming majority came in boundaries, the innings comprising 10 fours and a six. The cake had already been baked, but the icing Umer applied was a marvel in itself.The big miss The entire Lahore side?Less harshly, though, let’s go for some sibling rivalry on this one. Kamran Akmal and Umar Akmal seem to compete with each other for the biggest honours when the PSL comes around. So after his brother had smashed a scintillating 28-ball 44 to help Quetta to victory, Kamran was expected to make short work of the low total Peshawar had to chase.Instead, he found himself worked over by a bowler less than half his age. Shaheen Afridi bowled two wides down legside searching for the yorker. The third ball clattered into Kamran’s pads but was clearly missing leg. He got it perfectly right fourth time, though, the yorker comprehensively beating the opener. It smashed into his pads – it would have been lbw anyway – before going on to take the off stump and send Kamran back for a duck.Where the teams stand With Peshawar’s win, all six teams are up and running in the PSL. They have one win in two, while Lahore, like Islamabad, have one in three.

An Arsenal transfer target has been hailed as “one of the best talents in the world” by Fabrizio Romano, who has also shared the chances of him leaving his club in the New Year.
Arsenal striker rumours
The Gunners find themselves in a solid position in the Premier League as we approach the halfway mark, with Mikel Arteta’s side able to return to the top of the division with a win over West Ham on Thursday evening.
The January transfer window is also just around the corner, so sporting director Edu Gaspar may look to make one or two crucial additions as the club look to win the league title, FA Cup and Champions League. An area where Arsenal appear set on improving is in attack, with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah the current centre-forward options for Arteta.

As can be seen, a number of high-profile and in-form forwards have been linked with moves to north London, including two from the Premier League in Ivan Toney and Dominic Solanke, but transfer expert Romano has now made a claim on another rumoured name not on that list.
Benjamin Sesko transfer update
The Gunners have also been linked with Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. Recent reports have claimed that the forward is a long-term target for Arsenal, alongside top-flight rivals Chelsea, Man United and Newcastle. Intermediaries had previously made it known that Sesko could be available and open to a move in January, with the clubs named ‘informed of the potential of agreeing a deal’.
Benjamin Sesko
Romano, in his Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside, has now made a claim on the forward, hailing Sesko as “one of the best talents in the world”. However, he feels as if a Leipzig exit in January may not materialise.
“I see Benjamin Sesko staying at Leipzig in January and maybe leaving in the summer. All the top European clubs are tracking him, it’s normal, he’s one of the best talents in the world. Nothing happening now as it’s not one for January.”
Sesko made the move to Germany in the summer from Austrian side RB Salzburg, where he scored 29 times in 79 appearances. Things have begun fairly well with his new employers, finding the back of the net on seven occasions in 22 games. (Benjamin Sesko stats – Transfermarkt)
Still just 20 years of age, you’d expect that the only way is up for the forward, who has gained plenty of first-team experience already as well as scoring 10 goals in 25 appearances for Slovenia at international level.
A move could be one to watch in 2024, but with a whole host of names being linked with moves to the Emirates, the Gunners could look at a winter window addition with Sesko a possible signing further down the line, should Leipzig refuse a move away in January.
O Corinthians entrou em campo na última quarta-feira pressionado a vencer após uma sequência de duas derrotas, mas não só: enfrentaria também um adversário direto na luta por uma vaga na Copa Libertadores. Qualquer resultado que não fosse a vitória, comprometeria o objetivo do clube. Por isso, os discursos pré e pós-jogo foram muito direcionados a incentivar o grupo.

Todos os diálogos foram registrados pela TV oficial do clube, que divulgou nesta quinta-feira o vídeo com os bastidores da vitória por 2 a 1 sobre o Ceará.
Antes do aquecimento, quem tomou a palavra junto ao elenco foi o preparador físico Flávio de Oliveira, que reuniu o grupo em uma roda na saída do vestiário e apostou nas palavras motivacionais para esquentar o ânimo dos atletas.
-O que a gente faz no presente, reflete lá na frente, isso é plantar e colher, é da vida. Eu vejo assim, a gente não está contente. Está contente? Em 10º lugar? No Corinthians? Então, de novo, a bola vai dar oportunidade para vocês, porque eu não vou jogar, eu tento ajudar vocês e vocês vão jogar para cara***, porque a gente já mostrou na competição que a gente tem capacidade. Patinou? Patinou, mas faz parte do jogo – afirmou o profissional da comissão técnica.
Já momentos antes de entrar em campo, com os jogadores uniformizados, foi a vez de Vagner Mancini pedir a palavra e fazer suas últimas considerações para o elenco. Assim como Flávio de Oliveira, o objetivo foi incentivar e pedir intensidade e imposição em cima do adversário, a fim de buscar o resultado e conseguir uma resposta do que o time é capaz de fazer na competição.
-Vamos fazer por merecer o resultado, eu tenho pedido para vocês imposição, atitude, acima de tudo intensidade, mas tem que ser na dose certa, não pode passar do tempo. O mais importante no começo do jogo, para gerar confiança na gente, empurra o Ceará para o gol deles, empurra! A força que vocês mostraram nos outros jogos tem que ser vista hoje (quarta-feira), é o momento que nós temos de dar uma resposta para nós mesmos – disse o treinador.
No término da partida, com a vitória conquistada e o alívio por ter se recuperado das derrotas, Mancini parabenizou o grupo, principalmente por terem seguido exatamente aquilo que foi combinado antes do duelo.
-Parabéns primeiro a todos, nós fizemos um jogo extremamente equilibrado e inteligente, assim como eu pedi a vocês, um jogo duro, difícil – valorizou.
Enquanto isso, Flávio de Oliveira, novamente em tom motivacional, pediu a palavra também para parabenizar os atletas, mas sobretudo para mostrar o quanto é importante aproveitar a vitórias para seguir em frente no objetivo.
-Parabéns pela dedicação de todos, a gente sabe como é gostoso ganhar. A gente tem que ter essa vitamina todo dia, a gente sabe que é difícil, mas parabéns para todo mundo – concluiu o profissional.
O Corinthians volta a campo na próxima quarta-feira, às 21h30, diante do Athletico-PR, na Neo Química Arena, pela 35ª rodada do Brasileirão-2020. Atualmente, o Timão ocupa a oitava posição na tabela, com 48 pontos.
