Ao ser perguntado sobre o que projeta para o ataque, o treinador indicou.
– Oportunidades. Você começa a dar oportunidades. Jogou Gabriel Barbosa e Gabriel Jesus na primeira partida. No segundo, Barbosa e Jesus. Amanhã, inicia Neymar e Jesus. Olha, já vou adiantando – disse, entre risos dele e do auxiliar César Sampaio.
Tite também falou sobre as qualidades de Raphinha, provável titular para o duelo com a Celeste.
– Ele é jogador externo que dá amplitude, velocidade. Tem jogada de linha de fundo com cruzamento para trás, como aconteceu com Neymar. Finalização de média distância. Mas com calma, senão dá expectativa em demasia. Vocês ficam falando, daqui a pouco a gente escala todo mundo. Com calma. Esse é o momento da equipe, para chegar ali na frente e estruturar, mas não vou abrir mão da concorrência. Não vou antecipar. Há uma estrutura, há variações táticas e não vou abrir mão da concorrência – disse.
Since the days of Diego Costa in the mid-2010s, Chelsea have struggled to find a long-term solution for the number nine position.
Romelu Lukaku, Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, and even Tammy Abraham have all tried, but none of them were able to prove a success. It says it all that only Lukaku, who looks set to depart Stamford Bridge this summer, remains on their books as of July 2024.
Nicolas Jackson is the latest striker to try and fill the void in west London, enjoying a successful debut campaign in England, netting 14 Premier League goals – the second most of any Blues player last season.
Cole Palmer finished the 2023/24 campaign as the club’s leading scorer, finding the back of the net on 22 occasions, thriving for the Blues after his £40m move from Manchester City during the same window as fellow attacker Jackson.
However, 12 months on from the duo’s respective move to Stamford Bridge, new boss Enzo Maresca is on the lookout for another option in attacking areas and could potentially repeat Palmer’s move in a deal for one star who is keen to start a new adventure this summer.
Chelsea could land £77m star this summer
In recent weeks, Chelsea have been linked with a plethora of attacking options, with the likes of Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres all touted with big-money moves to West London.
However, their interest in Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez could bring an end to their hunt for a new centre-forward, with the Argentinian also being able to feature in various other attacking roles.
It’s been reported in recent days that he wants more consistent first-team minutes to further his development, with the former River Plate talent unhappy with his tally of 31 starts for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Athletic claimed that City would not stand in Alvarez’s way should he want to leave this summer, but are demanding a fee in the region of £77m including add-ons for services.
The deal may seem an expensive one, but the 24-year-old would be a hugely impressive signing, registering 20 goal contributions in the Premier League despite playing in a deeper role than he would like.
It would allow Palmer to be reunited with his former teammate, potentially rekindling their partnership, whilst the Blues would be signing a talent compared to one of the very best in world football.
Why Alvarez could be like Mbappe for Chelsea
For the past few years, French forward Kylian Mbappé has been one of the leading talents in Europe, scoring a combined 85 goals in the last two seasons, prompting a move to Spanish side Real Madrid this summer – undoubtedly the biggest move of the window despite signing on a free transfer.
During his time at PSG, he’s often found himself featuring on the left-hand side or down the middle, but still excelling and producing some phenomenal stats.
Argentinian forward Alvarez has found himself in a similar predicament at the Etihad, featuring in a number of roles but still impressing – as demonstrated by his goal contributions under Guardiola in 2023/24.
However, FBref claim that the City attacker is a similar player to the French ace and when comparing their respective figures, Alvarez has produced numerous stats that are on par if not better than what Mbappé could muster, demonstrating once again why he would be a huge coup for Maresca’s side.

The “legendary” City forward, as described by talent scout Jacek Kulig, has managed fewer goal contributions, but has registered the same amount of shot-creating actions – proving that he can create endless opportunities in the final third.
He’s also completed more take-ons than the Real Madrid forward despite his direct nature, also completing more passes per 90 – allowing players such as Palmer to further boost their own goalscoring tallies as a result of Alvarez’s potential arrival.
The Argentinian talent has won 1.3 recoveries per 90 more than Mbappé, showcasing his ability to regain possession in forward areas, allowing for more frequent chances for himself and his teammates – a really important aspect of Maresca’s high-pressing system.
It remains to be seen if Alvarez would be interested in swapping Manchester for London, but he would be a huge addition for the Blues in their attempts to secure a Champions League spot this season.
Palmer’s phenomenal form at Stamford Bridge could tempt the 24-year-old to make a similar move this summer, taking his personal form and Chelsea’s attacking unit to the next level.

Defender Luke Shaw said: "Days like today are not nice or easy, but I’m grateful for what we achieved together. I want to say thank you and wish you all the success for the future boss."

Scans showed the allrounder suffered “a moderate to high grade” injury to his right ankle
ESPNcricinfo staff02-Oct-2020Mitchell Marsh will have to wait until later this month to find out whether he will require surgery on the ankle problem he suffered at the IPL after scans showed “a moderate to high grade” injury.Marsh is unable to see a specialist under he completes his 14-day quarantine period on October 10. Speaking earlier this week he was hopeful he would be able to avoid surgery and had his sights set on pushing for a return late in the opening stages of the Sheffield Shield which will be played in an Adelaide hub.ALSO READ: Injury, illness, selection: the ups and downs of Mitchell Marsh”Scans have revealed that Mitch Marsh has suffered a moderate to high grade syndesmosis injury to his right ankle, which he sustained in the Sunrisers Hyderabad’s opening match in the United Arab Emirates early last week,” a WACA statement said.”A specialist will further assess Mitch’s ankle once he is out of hotel quarantine next Saturday 10 October to determine if surgery or non-surgical management is required. Return to play timelines will be mapped out once he has completed quarantine and met with the specialist.”Meanwhile, Western Australia have named a 17-man squad for the Sheffield Shield hub.

Head coach Simon Katich impressed with timing the batsmen showed after months of downtime
Shashank Kishore29-Aug-2020Virat Kohli said that his first net session in five months “went much better than expected” after Royal Challengers Bangalore’s first training session on Friday in the UAE. The team trained in batches and Kohli was part of the first set of players who underwent a full session at the ICC Academy.”[It went] much better than expected, to be honest,” Kohli told royalchallengers.com. “I was pretty scared. I hadn’t picked up a bat for five months, but yeah it came out better than I thought, to be honest. I’ve trained quite a bit during lockdown, so I’m feeling quite fit and that helps.”Because the body is light and you react better, I feel like I have more time on the ball. That’s a big plus. Otherwise you come heavier into the season, the body isn’t moving as much, and it starts playing on mind, but yeah, as I said it went much better than I expected.”On Wednesday, head coach Simon Katich had underlined how the conditions could bring spin into the equation quite early in the season. And after a full session, Kohli was particularly pleased with how the spinners fared. While Yuzvendra Chahal remains the only frontline spinner, Royal Challengers have a number of spin bowling all-rounders in Moeen Ali, Pawan Negi, Washington Sundar and Shahbaz Ahmed.”The spinners looked pretty good for day one, they pitched the ball in consistent areas for long enough,” Kohli said. “Shahbaz was good, Washy was very good, I saw Chahal bowl well too. The seamers went through their motions a little bit. All in all, a decent start to our camp.”ALSO READ: RCB will show faith in youngsters and local players, says KatichMeanwhile, Katich seemed pleased with the level the players were at on the opening day of the camp. In particular, he was impressed with the timing the batsmen showed.”Considering the conditions and considering it was their first hit for a while, all of them were outstanding,” Katich said. “A lot of them had nearly an hour in the nets in very hot conditions, credit to them for being able to do that. We’re impressed with what they’re all being able to do. The timing was great to watch.”For Hesson, who is in charge of Royal Challengers for the first time, like Katich, the first outing was an opportunity to have a look at many of the players, and not “necessarily judge” them yet.”To be fair, it was a good chance for us to observe them rather than necessarily giving them too many instructions,” he explained. “So just getting to know what they’re working on and making sure they’re doing with purpose, but also not being too harsh on themselves.”The fact is some of them hadn’t even batted for many months. So not a judging day, just a day for them to go out and get through the first session as Katto said, they did it superbly.”
A former SL sports minister has alleged corruption, though no evidence has been made public
Andrew Fidel Fernando01-Jul-2020Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Aravinda de Silva and Upul Tharanga have all been summoned to appear before a special investigations unit set up by Sri Lanka’s Sports Ministry, over allegations of match-fixing in the 2011 World Cup final. The allegations were made by Mahindananda Aluthgamage, who was the sports minister at the time, and is seeking re-election in parliamentary polls next month.Although Aluthgamage has claimed that he is in possession of evidence that fixing occurred, nothing substantial has been made public. The ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) has never stated the final was under suspicion either. A senior ICC official at the time has told ESPNcricinfo that they do not recall having received any complaints about possible corruption in that match. And separately, a senior official from the tournament organising committee has also confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that no complaint related to corruption has been filed regarding that game.Broadly, Aluthgamage’s allegations appear to be about the four changes Sri Lanka made to their XI for the final. However, Sangakkara (who was captain), Jayawardene (who was vice-captain) and de Silva (who was chief selector) have repeatedly said that those changes were precipitated by injuries to two players – Angelo Mathews and Muttiah Muralitharan – sustained during the semi-final. Muralitharan was able to play the final, but has since said he had not been fully fit. Mathews, meanwhile, was the player who provided balance to the XI, and his exit from the side is said to have changed the batsmen/bowler composition that Sri Lanka had been using for much of the World Cup.That the sports ministry can summon these players before a special investigations unit is due to the “Prevention of offences related to sports act”, which was passed last year with the aim of curbing fixing. The ICC’s ACU is understood to have worked closely with the Sri Lankan government during the drafting of that bill.De Silva had given evidence before the investigations unit on Tuesday, while Tharanga had appeared before the unit on Wednesday. Sangakkara and Jayawardene will make their appearances either side of the weekend.
Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Pedri have previously won the prize, but who will pick it up this year at the ceremony in Paris on October 28?
It's not just the men's and women's Golden Balls that will be handed out the Ballon d'Or ceremony, as a swathe of new prizes have been added to the roster by co-organisersFrance Footballand UEFA in recent times. One of those is the Kopa Trophy, which is awarded to the best player under the age of 21 from the previous season.
The 2023-24 campaign saw a number of youngsters thrive at the highest level, with some of the defining moments of the year provided by players who are only just making their way in the game.
Previous winners of the Kopa Trophy include Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Pedri and Gavi, and with the award voted for by previous Ballon d'Or winners, it is regarded as one the biggest any young player can win.
We will have to wait until the ceremony in Paris on Monday, October 28 to find out who will walk away with the 2024 prize. But for now, here is the shortlist of nominees:
Getty ImagesPau Cubarsi (Barcelona)
Cubarsi has developed into one of Barcelona's most important defenders. He is just 17, but already has 28 first-team appearances under his belt, as well as six caps for Spain. He is tied to Barca until 2027 and one has to think they will hope to extend that.
United's next great hope, Argentina international Garnacho already has six caps, and he is just 20. In 2023-24, he developed into a key player under Erik ten Hag, scoring 10 goals in all competitions – including in the FA Cup final win over Manchester City – and becoming the club's undisputed first-choice right-winger.
gettyArda Guler (Real Madrid)
Guler lit up Euro 2024 with Turkey as they embarked on an unlikely run to the quarter-finals. One goal and two assists in the tournament followed an injury-hit season in which he scored six La Liga goals for Real Madrid in just 10 games. A dazzling technician, Guler has marked himself out as a playmaker to watch.

Konate is fast becoming one of the most impressive strikers in Europe, and one has to think it is only a matter of time before he gets a big move. He scored 20 goals last season and also registered eight assists for Salzburg. Still 20, he is also an Ivory Coast regular and was part of their triumphant Africa Cup of Nations squad in 2024.
أثار المدير الفني المخضرم حلمي طولان جدلًا واسعًا بتصريحاته الأخيرة حول العلاقة بين نادي الزمالك ومنافسه التقليدي الأهلي، فقد أكد على احترامه الكبير لمؤسسة القلعة الحمراء وإدارتها الاحترافية، مؤكداً أن هذا الرأي لا يتعارض مع انتمائه للقلعة البيضاء.
وشدد طولان على ضرورة التحدث بصراحة وصدق، مشيرًا إلى أن بعض الجماهير تتوقع منه مهاجمة الأهلي بشكل مستمر ليثبت انتماءه للزمالك، وهو ما يرفضه تمامًا، وأوضح أن هذه الثقافة السائدة القائمة على الهجوم العشوائي والمبالغة في العداء بين الفريقين هي ثقافة خاطئة ومضرة بالكرة المصرية.
وقال حلمي طولان، في تصريحات عبر قناة “mbc masr 2”: “جماهير الزمالك تنزعج مني دائمًا، لكنني أقول حقائق، أنا ليس مُطالب مني كمنتمي للقلعة البيضاء أن أهاجم الأهلي، أنا أرى أن الأهلي مؤسسة محترمة تُدار بشكل احترافي جيد، ضروري أقول ذلك وإلا سأكون غير صادق مع نفسي ولا مع الآخرين”.

وتابع: “للأسف أصبح المفهوم عند الناس المتعصبين بشكل فج، أنه عليك أن تسب المنافس لكي نعتبرك واحدًا منا، يجب أن تتطاول على المنافس لكي تكون منا، هذه هي المفاهيم الموجودة حاليًا، وهي مفاهيم خاطئة جدًا، عندما أرى المنافس يقدم صورة محترمة، لماذا لا أتحدث عنه”.
وتطرق طولان للحديث عن انتخابات اتحاد الكرة القادمة، قائلًا: “هاني أبو ريدة (المرشح على منصب الرئيس) يتمتع بخبرة كبيرة ومارس العمل الإداري كعضو مجلس إدارة الاتحاد ثم الرئاسة والاتحاد الدولي والإفريقي، ومن الشخصيات التي أعتز به على المستوى الشخصي، وشخصية قريبة إلى قلبي”.
واختتم: “كون هاني أبو ريدة ترشح لرئاسة اتحاد الكرة فهو الأفضل، وكون أنه يختار قائمة غير معروفة للناس بشكل كبير فهذا هو الأفضل، لأن هؤلاء الأشخاص سيأتون من أجل العمل فقط وليس من أجل المظهر”.
