Enquanto Marcelo Cabo roda a equipe do Vasco, em busca da melhor forma física e técnica, um jogador tem sido presença constante entre os titulares: Gabriel Pec. O meia-atacante é o único jogador de linha que atuou nas oito partidas disputadas pelo clube nesta temporada até agora, e tem se saído bem. Além de ser o artilheiro cruz-maltino com três gols, o jovem de 20 anos é também o líder de algumas estatísticas defensivas no Campeonato Carioca.
Jogando aberto pelo lado direito, recuando para fechar o corredor quando o Vasco está sem a posse de bola, Pec já realizou 10 desarmes e 7 interceptações, segundo dados do Footstats. Neste segundo quesito, inclusive, Gabriel tem o 2º maior volume da competição, ficando atrás apenas de Gabriel Pereira, do Volta Redonda. Em ambos os rankings, o meia aparece em 1º entre os vascaínos.
Contra o Fluminense, nesta terça-feira, no empate em 1 a 1, Pec não marcou – Cano foi o autor do gol vascaíno-, mas foi importante novamente na recomposição. O camisa 17 deixou o campo como o líder de interceptações (2) e o segundo em desarmes no time (2), perdendo apenas para o lateral-direito Léo Matos (3). Veja mais números de Gabriel Pec no Estadual:

Do Arsenal need a striker? Probably. However, their 6-0 drubbing of West Ham United last Sunday proved that they can indeed score a bucket load of goals without that typical no.9 in their system.
Leandro Trossard was a menace to the Irons backline, scoring the fourth goal after picking up a lovely little pocket of space inside the area.
A week prior Kai Havertz had also flourished in that false 9 role, proving to be a "handful" – in the words of Ray Parlour – to the Liverpool defenders in that 3-1 win at the Emirates.
So, where do the Gunners go from here? Well, after a run of three games around the New Year period where they scored just once across three games, a new forward will likely still arrive in the summer.
Who is that man? Well, there's one name on the lips of plenty at the moment; Ivan Toney.
The latest on Arsenal's hunt for Ivan Toney
With the threat of exceeding financial fair play guidelines in January Arsenal decided against signing anyone.
Even if they had the money, trying to get any deal over the line would have been a difficult task. After all, Toney had been touted in some circles as an £80m transfer waiting to happen while another target in Victor Osimhen is set to cost over £100m.
Arsenal reportedly 'want' the Brentford striker and Bees manager Thomas Frank has already admitted it's likely he'll be moved on in the summer.
Frank recently stated: "It is relatively obvious that Ivan Toney will probably be sold this summer. "We also know what he is worth. I don't think there are many strikers in the world who are better than him right now."
Toney's response was rather damning, suggesting the Dane no longer wanted him in west London. This feels like a marriage reaching breaking point as the next transfer window fast approaches.
Mikel Arteta and Co seemingly have the perfect opportunity to acquire the striker, then, but agreeing on a fee for a man with three goals in four outings since his return from a betting ban will be the major stumbling block.
Therefore, are there other options? Well, turning to the academy, something Arteta hasn't favoured too much, could be a solution.
Arsenal's academy solution
The Arsenal boss has overseen the development of Bukayo Saka during his tenure in north London but as this Arsenal squad gets better and the demands become greater, he's not favoured the usage of the Hale End academy.
Considering Saka's breakthrough it's rather disappointing. It meant the end for the free-scoring Folarin Balogun in London and it's also seen Omari Hutchinson bite the dust too, moving to Chelsea.
Lino Sousa has now departed for Aston Villa but thankfully, some of the club's brightest young talents remain. One of those is Ethan Nwaneri.
The 16-year-old became the youngest ever player to feature in the Premier League when he was a substitute against none other than Toney's Brentford, and was used again for the first time since that debut outing versus West Ham last weekend.
In time another 16-year-old could become Arsenal's striking solution. Toney may well be signed but if the club are priced out in a few months time and thus, opt to stick with their current options in the summer, we could well see a blossoming academy talent unleashed sparingly.
That happens to be Chido Obi-Martin. You may well know the name. He went viral earlier this season for scoring ten goals in one game against Liverpool. Yes, ten. 10. It's a staggering accomplishment.
Talk about putting pressure on yourself too. In an official capacity, the vibrant attacker has found the net three times in six outings for Jack Wilshere's U18s this term and has already made his debut for the U21 side, featuring twice in Premier League 2 to date.
The teenager seems to have a habit of scoring goals by the bucketload, netting a hat-trick versus Southampton this term and also scoring four goals in one game for Denmark's U16s back in August.
Having trained with the first team too, it's clear that Obi-Martin is on the radar of Arteta and if Nwaneri's fleeting appearances are anything to go by, he could be seen in the first-team before too long.
Described as a "very special" talent by Arsenal pundit Adrian Clarke, it would be unrealistic to suggest Obi-Martin could get anywhere near Toney at this moment in time.
That said, should the Gunners fail to get a move over the line this summer then diving into the academy could be a serious consideration for Arteta and his coaching staff. The teenager will not become an overnight hit but if they invest in his development, they could unearth a prospect capable of becoming a real star in a few years time.
The restricted version of the DRS, however, will not comprise Hawk-Eye and UltraEdge, the two key elements of the system used in international cricket

To reduce umpiring errors, the BCCI has decided to utilise what it calls “limited DRS” during the Ranji Trophy knockout matches from this season. This restricted version of the DRS will not comprise Hawk-Eye and UltraEdge, the two key elements of the system used in international cricket.Saba Karim, BCCI’s general manager of cricket, confirmed the development saying several captains and coaches had complained to the board about the “howlers” committed by the on-field umpires that could be avoided. “Last year, in some of the knockout matches, there was some flak on umpires because there were some terrible howlers,” Karim told ESPNcricinfo. “So we want to avoid all that and use whatever help we can get. For the knockouts in Ranji Trophy matches, we will utilise all the technology available to us as a means to apply the limited DRS to help the on-field umpires make the correct decision.”The decision to implement this limited version of the DRS was approved by the Committee of Administrators, the supervisory authority of the BCCI, in June. The CoA was told that “grievances” were raised over the umpiring standards in domestic cricket at the Captains and Coaches Conclave recently and it was felt that the limited DRS could “reduce the occurrences” of bad decision-making.One example of such controversial decision-making occurred during the last Ranji Trophy semi-final between Karnataka and Saurashtra in Bengaluru when Cheteshwar Pujara got reprieved twice – once in each innings – and that eventually cost the hosts a spot in the final.Karim said he would have a “brainstorming session” with the match officials, including umpires and referees, along with the board’s broadcasting team to understand the “extent” to which the available technology can be used.According to Karim, 18-20 cameras are used during the broadcast of a match on TV or on the digital platform, and these would be utilised wherever possible to help the match officials adjudicate on debatable on-field umpiring calls.”We are just trying to use it as an experiment just to see how much it can be useful to domestic cricket,” Karim said. “We will use whatever cameras we can use to come to the right decision.”

Time’s a luxury and an irritant as the process begins now but only an outline of the squad that might still be relevant four years later can emerge
The Preview by Ankur Dhawan07-Aug-20198:22
Dasgupta: Iyer could solve monster No. 4 problem
Big PictureThis time comes once every four years and no, it’s not the World Cup. But it’s a corollary, a period to reassess and rebuild, until 2023 is upon us. Time’s a luxury and an irritant for West Indies and India, as the process begins now but only an outline of the squad that might still be relevant four years later can emerge at this stage, if at all.The cliché about being in the moment is perhaps more applicable, particularly for those who have just broken into the squads. It’s probably a better time for them too, to play with the kind of freedom that would have got them to this level in the first place, without having any end goals other than to deliver on the day.It’s also a case of knowing that you aren’t just filling in for someone who is guaranteed to reclaim the position upon return. It’s an issue Shreyas Iyer faced in his first three ODI appearances , taking Virat Kohli’s No.3 slot when the captain opted out of the Sri Lanka home series in 2017. With plenty of room in the middle order, Iyer, along with Manish Pandey – whose form turned after he was promoted to No.3 by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL – will hope to establish themselves. The MS Dhoni question remains but Rishabh Pant – the lone keeper in the squad – has more opportunities to have his say in the matter.For West Indies, Jason Holder’s return should calm things down after self-destruction started to trend during the T20Is. The stage also seems set for Chris Gayle to say goodbye at home, after the opener decided he wasn’t quite done with ODIs at the end of West Indies’ World Cup campaign. A few other changes from the squad that finished 9th in the World Cup were inevitable, as the likes of John Campbell, Roston Chase and Keemo Paul – who all played in the Ireland tri-nation – return to the fold.Form guideWest Indies WLLLL (last five completed matches, most recent first) India LWWLWChris Gayle has a hit in the nets•AFP
In the spotlightRishabh Pant has been quicker to establish himself in Tests than in the formats he was presumably more suited to. Virender Sehwag had baffled similarly through his career. While the benefits of attacking fields in Tests are high for attacking batsmen, should they get going, somehow it seems to influence shot selection, which both in Sehwag’s and Pant’s case – so far – have been better in the longer format. Pant showed enormous restraint in the World Cup semi-final against New Zealand before losing patience against the spin of Mitchell Santner, a shot that came in for heavy criticism. He followed that up with a first-ball top-edged sweep against Sunil Narine in the first T20I, which briefly gave West Indies an opening. However, just when the pressure was building, he chaperoned a tricky chase in the final T20I to earn praise from his captain. If he can build on that performance in the coming ODIs, India’s future plans will become easier to chalk out.The future will be shaped now and West Indies have their hopes pinned on youngsters like John Campbell. Campbell started with that record-breaking stand with Shai Hope against Ireland before the World Cup, but far from building on that, hasn’t done anything of note since, signified by a total of 21 runs in his next four innings. He was slightly unlucky to miss out on the last two T20Is against India, after he swept one cleanly but found the fielder on the boundary off just his second ball in the first match. With Gayle’s days numbered, this could be Campbell’s opportunity to feed off West Indies’ second most successful batsman in ODIs, before the baton is passed on to him.Team newsWest Indies will have to choose between Evin Lewis and John Campbell at the top to partner Chris Gayle. Roston Chase could be the only spinner as he can bat in the top seven, allowing them to field a strong pace attack, which was their strength in the home series against England.West Indies (probable): 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Evin Lewis/John Campbell, 3 Shai Hope (wk), 4 Shimron Hetmyer, 5 Nicholas Pooran, 6 Roston Chase, 7 Jason Holder (capt), 8 Keemo Paul, 9 Kemar Roach, 10 Oshane Thomas, 11 Sheldon CottrellIn the absence of Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja’s recent batting form means he will be an easy swap as the genuine allrounder batting at No.7. That might mean that India pick three seamers and one of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal as the second spinner. The third-seamer spot, in that case, will be a toss up between Navdeep Saini and Khaleel Ahmed. The batting line-up might be determined by whether India are confident going in with just five bowlers.India (Probable): 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 KL Rahul, 5 Manish Pandey/Kedar Jadhav/Shreyas Iyer, 6 Rishabh Pant (wk) 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 9 Mohammed Shami, 10 Khaleel Ahmed/Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav/Yuzvendra ChahalPitch and conditions With a couple of morning showers predicted, bowling first could have its advantages. But going by the slowness of the wicket in the final T20I, chasing could prove equally challenging, should the team batting first manage a reasonable total.Stats and triviaGayle is 12 short of Brian Lara’s tally of 10,405 ODI runs, the most by a West Indies batsman.Kuldeep Yadav has taken 93 wickets in 51 ODIs, which leaves him four matches to beat Mohammed Shami and become the fastest from India to hundred ODI wickets
Tottenham are apparently prepared to back manager Ange Postecoglou with a summer bid to sign one club's £79 million midfielder.
Successful January highlights positive Spurs future
Over the January transfer window, Spurs were widely praised for their conduct after they reportedly beat European heavyweights Bayern Munich and Barcelona to the signings of Radu Dragusin and Lucas Bergvall respectively.

The north Londoners' signing of RB Leipzig ace Timo Werner on loan also saw them usurp the likes of Man United, as they apparently fended off some elite competition for Postecoglou's winter transfer targets.
"Levy famously acknowledged in 2021 that Spurs had “lost sight of our DNA” and reverting to a youth-orientated recruitment strategy has helped them rediscover it. In Postecoglou and Lange, he seems to have entrusted the right people to oversee an overdue rebuild," wrote inews journalist Oliver Young-Myles recently.

"Spurs also managed to shift high-earning squad players, albeit without receiving fees. Hugo Lloris departed for LAFC and Eric Dier moved to Bayern, with numerous others heading out on loan. There is a freshness to the squad with Son Heung-min and Ben Davies the last remaining links to the Pochettino era."
It was indeed a successful few weeks for Spurs, with deadwood shifted and quality players brought in to shore up key areas. Recent reports suggest technical director Johan Lange and co are already planning their next moves for the summer, with FA registered intermediary and insider Paul O'Keefe having claimed Barcelona star Raphinha is among the targets.

The Brazilian, who's made 15 La Liga appearances this season, scoring three goals and assisting five others, is apparently enticing those at Hotspur Way.
Tottenham willing to bid for Raphinha
According to Spanish news outlet Sport, and journalist Luis Miguelsanz, Tottenham would be willing to bid for Raphinha this summer, but face competition from Chelsea and clubs in Saudi Arabia.
While the player himself isn't exactly pushing for an exit, Barca need to make sales due to their financial situation, and the former Leeds midfielder is a prime candidate to balance the Camp Nou books.
Barcelona winger Raphinha.
Some reports claim Barca value him as highly as £79 million (Sport via Forbes), but perhaps the Spanish side's need to agree to exits could force them into a discounted price. In any case, the 27-year-old's proven English top-flight quality, which was on full display at Leeds, could make this potential move a pretty promising one.
"He’s a magician," said winger Daniel James in an interview with FIFA (via Leeds Live).
"He’s always been a great player – I played against him at United and he was always great – but he’s improved so much. He fully deserved his Brazilian call-up and I think since he got it, he’s pushed on even more, he’s even more confident. He can do absolutely anything on the pitch. It’s great playing with him."
O técnico do Santos, Ariel Holan, reconheceu os erros do time na derrota por 3 a 0 diante da Ponte Preta na noite desta sexta-feira, no estádio Moisés Lucarelli, em Campinas. O treinador afirmou que o Peixe não soube controlar a bola no campo ofensivo e nem se posicionou para impedir os contra-ataques da equipe do interior.

– Nós podíamos defender melhor os contra-ataques no primeiro tempo e praticamente aí se definiu o jogo. Tivemos erros na administração da bola no campo rival no primeiros tempo. Esses erros provocaram os contra-ataques e não estivemos próximos para impedir o início dos contra-ataques. Quando as bolas são lançadas nas costas fica muito difícil defender. Cometemos erros na posição e na administração dos contra-ataques – afirmou o técnico.
Devido à maratona de jogos, o Santos entrou na partida desta sexta com apenas dois titulares, os zagueiros Kaiky Fernandes e Luan Peres. O técnico acredita que os erros tem ligação direta com as mudanças na equipe.
– Faltou trabalho, tempo para fazer ajustes para que não sobre tantos espaços entre linhas e que as ações sejam coordenadas quando estamos pressionando e quando perdemos a bola. Isso é trabalho e rapidamente temos de tratar de corrigir. Não é fácil fazer tantas mudanças e termos uma equipe com coordenação – analisou.
To say Glasgow Rangers have been revitalised under Philippe Clement would be an understatement. The Belgian manager took over a club in crisis and has since restored the confidence needed to ensure the Gers can go toe to toe with Celtic.
Indeed, they are now in a Premiership title hunt and clearly have the momentum following their recent run of form.
The 49-year-old has had to endure plenty of injury problems which have engulfed his squad since taking over, which included having to go through the festive spell missing eight players.
This meant he had to adapt his squad and feature a few players out of position in order to retain their shape during matches.
The notable change was that of Dujon Sterling, who has featured in a variety of positions under Clement and has performed well in each one, proving that the Ibrox side have signed a solid player who can adapt his game to fit the needs of the team.
Dujon Sterling was one of Michael Beale’s first signings
Following the trophyless 2022/23 season, Michael Beale looked to undergo a summer rebuild which would hopefully give him a platform to build a side capable of challenging Celtic.
The versatile defender signed a pre-contract agreement with the Light Blues in May last year and, on the surface, it looked like a reliable signing.
“I am delighted to welcome Dujon to Rangers, he is an exciting young player who, I’m sure, will be a great addition to our squad,” beamed Beale as he welcomed Sterling to Glasgow.
“He is a very powerful and strong defender, who has fantastic attacking qualities and I look forward to working with him at Rangers.”
High praise from the former manager and added depth was required in the defence, which is what Sterling would offer.

He has experienced plenty of highs and lows during his first year in Scotland, but his market value has risen rapidly due to his performances.
Dujon Sterling’s market value at Chelsea
The Englishman started his career at the Stamford Bridge side, going on to make just two appearances for them during the 2017/18 season.
His market value at that time was €2.4m (£2m) according to Football Transfers, yet he failed to make the grade at the Blues and went through a succession of loans over the next five seasons in order to secure regular first team football.
During this period, Sterling played 38 League One matches while starring 58 times in the Championship, but the chance to move to Rangers was clearly too good to turn down.
It has since proven to be an inspired move as his market value has increased and if he can maintain his current form, there is no doubt it will grow exponentially.
Dujon Sterling’s market value at Rangers
Despite the Englishman playing only 21 matches for the Ibrox side since joining last summer, he has emerged as a player who Clement can trust to fill in the gaps when key players are missing.
With this, his market value has increased to its current total of €3.1m (£2.6m) according to Football Transfers, and this represents a solid value for a player who cost the Gers nothing.

The 24-year-old has yet to even reach his peak and the more games he gets under his belt in the coming years, the better he will perform.
Dujon Sterling's season by numbers
While Beale made his move to bring the youngster to Scotland, he only played seven times under the Englishman as he could not work his way into the starting XI.
A handful of appearances followed during the early stages of Clement’s reign, but it was not until the Gers faced a crisis in the heart of their midfield that the Belgian turned to Sterling to solve his problem.
With Ryan Jack and Nico Raskin out injured for the League Cup final against Aberdeen, combined with Jose Cifuentes missing the clash due to suspension, Sterling came in alongside John Lundstram and did an excellent job, claiming his first major trophy in Scotland.

He kept his place for the next two league matches, against Motherwell and Celtic, and once again, he showed that his talents could be used in various different ways.
Having featured at right-back, left-back, and then in central midfield, the former Chelsea gem had more tricks up his sleeve when the Light Blues travelled to Perth last weekend to play St Johnstone.
Scott Wright had a poor first half which forced Clement into making a change and this saw Sterling emerge for the second half as the right-winger.
Market Movers
Football FanCast's Market Movers series explores the changing landscape of the modern transfer market. How much is your club's star player or biggest flop worth today?
During his 45-minute cameo, the 24-year-old not only made one key pass, but he also delivered one successful cross, missed a big chance and also won a penalty in what was a display full of attacking vigour, something that Wright lacked in abundance.
The 5 foot 11 gem was hailed for his showing following the game, with journalist Jonny McFarlane perhaps being his most vocal supporter, saying:
“What a player Dujon Sterling is. Versatile across multiple positions. Supreme attitude. Powerful and athletic. Will make Rangers a fortune if properly developed.”
Nothing seems to be fazing the defender, especially as he has gone on to demonstrate the full spectrum of his talents across different positions, while shining in each one.
McFarlane is correct, Rangers will go on to make a fortune out of Sterling whenever he begins to attract attention, as versatile players like him are getting rarer and rarer, that’s for sure.

When the time comes, however, Clement will be keen on securing the best fee possible for a player who did not cost a penny when he arrived in Glasgow.
From starting the season as a backup right-back to the club captain, to becoming arguably a key member of the first-team squad, it has been quite a remarkable few months for Sterling.
With injuries likely between now and May, he will still have a big part to play as the Gers aim to win their first Premiership title since 2021.
