O dia é de festa na Gávea, pelas comemorações dos 120 anos do Flamengo. Em compensação, o dia também é de trabalho debaixo de sol forte para os jogadores rubro-negros no Ninho do Urubu, em preparação para o amistoso deste domingo, contra o Orlando City, no Maracanã. E a atividade foi marcada por novidades.
O técnico Oswaldo de Oliveira comandou uma atividade tática e técnica em campo reduzido com o elenco na manhã deste sábado.Depois, os jogadores rubro-negros realizaram um leve rachão, com direito a Pará e Emerson Sheik como goleiros durante a descontraída atividade.
O principal destaque ficou pela participação de Ederson na atividade. Contratado para ser o 10 da equipe na temporada, ele participou normalmente do treinamento e está a disposição para o amistoso desse domingo. Sua última partida foi no clássico contra o Vasco, na Copa do Brasil, no dia 26 de agosto. Desde então, ele se recupera de lesão no joelho direito.
O time que de irá a campo contra o Orlando City deve contar comPaulo Victor, Pará, Wallace, César Martins e Armero; Jonas, Márcio Araújo e Alan Patrick; Gabriel (Ederson), Sheik e Kayke.
Depois do amistoso festivo, o Rubro-Negro volta suas atenções para o Campeonato Brasileiro, onde enfrenta o Santos, na quinta-feira que vem, na Vila Belmiro. O Flamengo se encontra na 11ª posição na competição, com 47 pontos ganhos.

Football.London reporter Alasdair Gold has dropped a major transfer claim this week as Tottenham Hotspur gear up for a busy summer of activity.
What’s the word?
According to the Spurs journalist, the north London outfit have Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell on their radar following the Canaries’ relegation from the Premier League.
It’s also believed that Jose Mourinho could test the water with the Championship newcomers with young right-back Max Aarons also a player that the Portuguese manager admirers.
What sort of fee the English talent would command very much remains to be seen – Transfermarkt value Cantwell at £18m whilst the Daily Star have mooted £10m amid interest from Sheffield United.
Eriksen successor
Spurs have plenty of positions that are in need of revamping but Mourinho still hasn’t found a true number ten akin to Christian Eriksen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He’s often gone to Giovani Lo Celso, who seemingly is better suited to a box-to-box role, and Dele Alli, who has been in and out of the side since the 57-year-old’s appointment in November.
Cantwell can be the man to fill that void, especially as he’s been dubbed the next Alli.
And it’s easy to see why.
Per WhoScored, the 22-year-old has provided six goals and two assists whilst averaging 1.3 dribbles, 1.1 shots and 0.9 key passes per game for a side rock-bottom in the PL. Imagine what he could do with the likes of Heung-min Son, Steven Bergwijn and Harry Kane around him.
In a similar vein to Spurs’ Englishman, Cantwell is often the man to provide late bursts into the box – another trait that was akin to Eriksen, who bagged ten goals in his final full season in north London.
The promising attacking midfielder has regularly received raving reviews, ranging from being the “most gifted” in Norwich’s system to having “god-given” abilities.
At just £10m, it presents extremely low-risk, so Daniel Levy would be foolish not to make the most of another’s misfortune here. Cantwell would be a most welcome addition in north London.
AND in other news, Spurs can land £10m bargain in reported striker transfer target…
Things were looking up for Everton prior to the suspension of football in March after a small renaissance under new boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Appointed in December, the Italian helped the Toffees climb away from the bottom three and up towards mid-table, just six points adrift of sixth-place and a European spot.
Since his arrival, Everton have won five of their last 11 matches and while improvements are still needed, they have picked up more points than they did in Marco Silva’s spell between August and December.
The likes of Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have made notable improvements under the Italian, while Mason Holgate has seen an increase in game time.
The break will have also allowed Andre Gomes to get back to somewhere like full fitness, which should prove a huge bonus.
Here, we look back at six statistics from the season so far to refresh your memory ahead of the restart…
Fortress Goodison
While this has certainly been a tough year for the Toffees, their home record remains strong.
With 14 matches played, Everton have won seven times at Goodison Park and lost just three times, meaning that in the home league table they sit seventh.
Defensive issues
Defence has definitely been a weakness for Everton this term, with a number of their big name players failing to perform at their best.
In 29 matches, the Toffees have conceded 46 goals and have the sixth-worst defensive record in the league, something Ancelotti will be desperate to change.
Paying the penalty

Everton are one of two Premier League clubs that are yet to score a penalty this season, alongside Newcastle United.
However, what makes them even more unique is that they have not actually been awarded a penalty in the league this season.
Why this has happened is difficult to explain, but certainly compared to Manchester United, who have been awarded 10, there is a big difference.
Over Reliance
While the continued excellent form of Richarlison and the rapid development of Dominic Calvert-Lewin have been pleasing, the lack of goals from elsewhere must be a real concern.
Aside from the two forwards, no player has managed more than three league goals this term, while only two other players have scored more than once.
Of Everton’s 37 league goals, 23 have been scored by Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin.
Full-back attack
The full-back combination of Lucas Digne and Djibril Sidibe has certainly been one of the club’s strong points this season and in attack especially, they have been devastating.
So far, the two have provided nine league assists, while they are the two single most common assist providers in the squad with five and four respectively.
Aerial strength
With Calvert-Lewin and Yerry Mina leading the way, Everton have won the third most aerial duels per match this season.
Averaging 22.9 successful duels-per-match, only Burnley and Sheffield United have won more, while Calvert-Lewin and Mina have won 4.9 and 4.2 per-match respectively.
أفادت تقارير صحفية إسبانية، أن نادي ريال مدريد وضع ماوريسيو بوتشيتينو المدير الفني لفريق باريس سان جيرمان على راداره لخلافه زيدان.
النادي الملكي أعلن صباح اليوم الخميس، عن رحيل زين الدين زيدان رسميًا، بعد فترة ثانية مع ريال مدريد.

صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية، أفادت بأن بعد اقتراب ماسيمليانو أليجري من العودة رسميًا إلى يوفنتوس، نادي ريال مدريد يتجه نحو التعاقد مع بوتشيتينو.
وأشارت إلى أن الخلافات الداخلية مع المدير الرياضي ليوناردو، ومن البداية لم يكن البرازيلي موافقًا على التعاقد مع بوتشي، جعلت المدرب الأرجنتيني أقرب للمغادرة.
ريال مدريد يضع بوتشيتينو على الطاولة، بجانب راؤول جونزاليس مدرب فريق الشباب، بالإضافة لـ أنطونيو كونتي، ولم تخرج الترشيحات عن الثلاثي.

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has been speaking to the media ahead of his side’s game against Watford this weekend.
Firstly, he offered a quite hilarious update on the fitness of Sofiane Boufal, revealing that the Moroccan had sustained a swollen toe after stubbing it on a table while running to his kitchen – the former Lille man is a doubt for the game against the Hornets because of the issue, as he hasn’t trained for three days.
However, the former RB Leipzig boss had some more serious words to say on the Saints’ upcoming fixtures.
What did he say?
The Austrian said: “I think every period is important, but this one now against teams around us is very, very important – they are all ‘six-point games’, if you want.
“Wins are massive and losing is also massive, so this is a very, very important period until Christmas.”
“Everybody knows that if you want to be in the end above the (relegation) line, then you must start to take points consistently.”
Absolutely must keep stressing this to his players
Hasenhuttl states that this period is “very, very important” for his side – however, even that is an understatement.
Southampton take on Watford next, before facing games against Norwich, Newcastle, West Ham and Aston Villa, a run of fixtures that is absolutely pivotal to their hopes of staying up, or even getting to Christmas without being the Premier League’s basement side.
That is a very real possibility, as the Saints are just one point off the bottom of England’s top-flight as things stand, and will head into December as the 20th-placed team if they lose to Watford.
History has shown that, if you are at the bottom of the Premier League come Christmas, then your chances of survival are very, very slim – only three sides since 1999/2000 have survived a campaign having been bottom at Christmas.
“Three times since 1999-2000 have clubs — West Brom 2004-05, Sunderland 2013-14 and Leicester 2014-15 — been bottom at Christmas and survived.”
Achieving 12 points from those aforementioned four fixtures is very feasible if the impressive showing against Arsenal is anything to go by, and would leave the south coast side on 21 points from 17 games, which isn’t the worst situation in the world.
[ad_pod ]
He has already touched on it, but Hasenhuttl absolutely must drill the importance of these next four games into his players until they can’t get it out of their heads – it is that crucial.
In other news, Hasenhuttl’s injury update on this Southampton man – not Boufal – has come at the worst possible time…
Arsenal fans on Twitter have made it clear that they want Mikel Arteta to be their next manager.
The Gunners fanbase have quickly been losing faith in Unai Emery after a string of bad results, and their 1-1 draw with Wolves seems to have been the tipping point for a number of fans.

Of course, the frustration with the current manager led to fans speculating about who should succeed the former PSG boss, and many have decided that they want one of their former players to take up the mantle.
Arteta has of course been working at Manchester City in recent years as Pep Guardiola’s assistant, and if he’s learnt anything from the former Barcelona gaffer he should be a talented manager once he makes the step up.
The former Everton midfielder was apparently considered for the Arsenal job when Arsene Wenger’s reign ended, but the higher-ups at the Emirates instead opted to go for the more experienced option.
Here’s what the Gunners fanbase have been saying on Twitter…
Son Heung-min has been named on the 30-man shortlist for the 2019 Ballon d’Or.The South Korea international has been selected alongside Tottenham Hotspur teammate Hugo Lloris.And it will be very interesting to see where the 27-year-old is placed.Son scored an impressive 20 goals in 48 appearances for Spurs during the 2018/19 campaign, in addition to providing 10 assists from a wide position.Mauricio Pochettino’s team famously reached last season’s Champions League final before losing to Liverpool, and Son played a key role in their impressive European form with four goals in 12 outings.Watch Tottenham Hotspur Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below
The attacker also managed 12 goals in 31 Premier League appearances for Tottenham last term, which is an indication of his importance to the team.
The winner of the 2019 Ballon d’Or will be named in Paris on December 2, and the Spurs fans are delighted that Son has been recognised for his impressive contribution.
A selection of the Twitter reaction can be seen below:

According to Football Insider, Aston Villa are monitoring the progress of Bolton Wanderers winger Dennis Politic ahead of a potential January move.
What’s the word?
Those reports suggest that Dean Smith has taken a keen eye on the 19-year-old after he was fast-tracked into the first team this season.
Politic was one of the several youth players that were drafted into the side as the club faced major uncertainty over its long-term future with them very nearly going out of business.

The Trotters were saved at the 11th hour and as a result, appointed Keith Hill as the manager who then signed an array of players before the transfer deadline closed.
Nine of which were signed on deadline day alone, but the young winger was one player to keep his place amongst the senior fold.
Politic has featured in nine matches already this campaign, playing both on the left and right of midfield, scoring just the one goal against Rochdale in the EFL Cup, per Transfermarkt.
Strength in depth is needed
Although it remains to be seen whether the reports hold any truth, it could still signal Smith’s intentions as the January transfer window approaches.
The Villa squad is awash with talent both defensively and in midfield – for instance, behind Tyrone Mings and Bjorn Engels there are three other centre-backs while aside from John McGinn and Jack Grealish, there’s Marvelous Nakamba, Douglas Luiz, Conor Hourihane and Henri Lansbury all fighting for that one additional spot.
Summer signing Wesley has been the only fit senior striker for the last few weeks with just three wingers to chose from for the two spots either side of him – therefore, it would make sense for the Villa boss to target an addition in that position.
Politic has barely been exposed to the men’s game for long at all, aside from his appearances this season, he’s only enjoyed a short loan spell at Salford City as they gained promotion from the National League Premier last season.
In front of co-owner David Beckham, he scored a goal reminiscent of that famous strike against Wimbledon, as he lobbed the opposition goalkeeper from inside the centre circle.
Given the considerable step up in quality from League One to the Premier League, this move would probably be seen as one for the future.
Comments from his Bolton coach Julian Darby should offer further encouragement though, saying the following about Politic: “Dennis is a talent. When he gets on the ball, things happen.”

Outside of east London Mark Noble is often a much-overlooked figure, but his presence on the pitch has undoubted importance for West Ham, and not just because of his leadership qualities.
He has been a central figure to the Hammers since breaking into the first team and despite the comings and goings of various players and managers, he is always a key cog in the team.
For onlookers, they may judge him by his low return of goals and assists, but he doesn’t base his game on that, and instead acts as a valuable asset to Pellegrini in another capacity.
In his two seasons under the Chilean he has achieved a pass accuracy of 85% in 2018/19 and 86% this term, and that makes him a dependable figure to his manager and the passing philosophy he has implemented – evidenced by their average of 8.6 key passes per game in their last three league matches against Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Manchester United.

Central to creating chances in the final third is the role Noble fulfils, as without him many of West Ham’s attacks wouldn’t get going.
He is the lynchpin and though at times he seems to just be keeping things ticking over, he often provides a decisive pass to set the attack on its way, launching the more creative players upfield to work their magic.
In fact, such is his effectiveness, he ranks fifth in a list of Premier League players’ build-up contributions.
Build-up contributions are an ideal scope at looking at the players who start moves from deep, and highlights how efficient the 32-year-old is in picking the ball up from his defenders and finding a teammate further forward.
The 24 he has made this term places him ahead of several top-six players, many of whom often receive plaudits such as Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum, whilst Winks is seen as a very effective midfielder but has made only one more contribution than the Irons man.
Also important to note is that no other West Ham player comes near to him, and it is likely that his absence could lead to a downturn in results, or at least the number of chances they produce.
As a result, Noble is a significant contributor to the team and one of the first names on the teamsheet not just because of his leadership attributes, and without him the team would be considerably worse off.
