Por conta dessa determinação que pode ter sua validade inicial de 15 dias renovada sem maiores limitações, o Bahia divulgou a programação que será seguida em partidas onde o Esquadrão mandará seus compromissos na Arena Fonte Nova.

Utilizando o sistema de check-in, o clube divulgou que disponibilizará os lugares da Fonte somente para a lista de sócios-torcedores adimplentes, relação conde constam 13 mil torcedores do tricolor.

Entretanto, para tentar assegurar que a maior parte dos sócios do Bahia tenham a oportunidade de acompanhar o time em campo no Baianão, haverá um critério de aceitação onde o ineditismo pode influenciar na possibilidade de acompanhar os jogos no caso do número de check-ins ser superior a três mil pessoas.

Outros pontos a serem considerados na realização do check-in serão a adimplência, situação vacinal (mínimo de duas doses ou vacinas de dose única) e também o tempo que cada sócio terá de participação no programa de sócio-torcedor.

O primeiro confronto que essas regras terão vigência na Arena Fonte Nova acontecerá na próxima quarta-feira (19) onde o Esquadrão, depois de empatar com o Bahia de Feira na estreia, receberá o UNIRB.

The allrounder has a calmness about his game: “I’m not overthinking stuff…it’s all automatic”

What’s behind Glenn Maxwell’s incredible six-hitting ability?

Even geniuses need reassurance from time to time. For Glenn Maxwell that came during the most recent IPL, in part because his genius was not only recognised but genuinely appreciated by two of the game’s greats in Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.”I was extremely fortunate to have two of the greats of the game in the same team and in the same batting line-up who were open to share their experiences and talk to me about their game,” Maxwell said. “It makes you feel 10 feet tall when you’ve got their backing and they’re watching you, they’re asking you questions and it just makes you feel confident, it makes you feel happy.”Maxwell was a revelation for RCB producing one of his best IPL tournaments following some lean runs in previous editions. He made 513 runs at a strike-rate of 144.10 with six half-centuries in 14 innings after scoring just 108 runs from 11 innings for Punjab Kings last season at a strike-rate of 101.88. He had the second highest strike-rate against spin and was ESPNcricinfo’s Smart Stats batting MVP.Royal Challengers Bangalore assistant coach Adam Griffith told ESPNcricinfo that those conversations with Kohli and de Villiers were on another level.Related

Maxwell's middle-overs maturity redefines RCB's success

“When you see the best in the world when they’re together, it’s amazing the conversations they have and they’re on a different level,” Griffith said. “The type of conversation is different to a normal player. They move past the basics of the game to those extra little one or two-percent things that can mean the difference between having a good innings or not. The way they talk about the game, it’s great to sit and watch them.”Now Maxwell’s challenge is to try and translate that form into World Cup success for Australia. There is a huge burden of expectation externally on Maxwell’s shoulders, but the man himself has a calmness and clarity about his upcoming role.”I’m not overthinking stuff once I get in-game,” he said. “It’s all automatic. I’m trying to play against the conditions and the opposition and that’s all I’m thinking about. It’s not [a case of] if I play well, we’re going to win a World Cup. There’s no thoughts of that. It’s just if I’m in a contest, I’ll give my best on the day, and then I’m sure that will be a positive impact on the team.”His ability to read the conditions so quickly in the difficult middle overs role was what impressed RCB the most. Maxwell has an excellent record in T20 cricket in the UAE with eight half-centuries in 31 innings at a strike-rate of 146.26. He will be set to bat No. 4 for Australia, or more specifically post the powerplay as he did for RCB, and will be pivotal to Australia’s chances. Maxwell said the key to that role in the UAE was taking the time in the middle to understand how each surface in the UAE was playing.Glenn Maxwell fed off AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli•BCCI”I think it just takes a little bit more time to soak in a bit of information. I think you can get to Australia and bat in that time [the middle overs], and you can probably go a lot earlier, you can try and hit boundaries a lot earlier. It just takes like a few extra balls to actually get used to what’s facing you out there. I think having spent a fair bit of time in the middle over the last month and a bit has really helped me sort of start to get used to that and get used to the pace of the game and pace the wickets.”RCB also gave him a leadership role. Having thrived in the captaincy role at Melbourne Stars, RCB were keen to utilise his experience in the field.”Having a bit of responsibility around the group out in the field and he’d speak really well in team meetings,” Griffith said. “Giving him that responsibility to lead different parts of the group fielding positions and making sure everyone’s where they need to be, driving that intensity in the field is a big one for him as well and I think his preparation was great.”Maxwell also played his part with the ball in the IPL after doing a lot of technical work on his bowling with both Craig Howard in Victoria during his off-season, and RCB and Australia spin coach Sridharan Sriram, particularly on bowling to right-handers.”We actually had a bit of a joke that he bowled over the wicket to a right-hander for the first time in a couple of years this tournament,” Griffith said. “That just shows you the confidence he’s got in his bowling at the moment. He’s getting up and over and bowling proper offspinners instead of coming round-arm around the wicket and slinging that ball in a fast and flat. He’s in a pretty good space.”Maxwell wants to give Australia captain Aaron Finch another versatile spinning option alongside Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa, rather than just a specific match-up for left-handers only.”I think the biggest thing for me first and foremost is to be able to bowl not just to left-handers but to be able to bowl to right-handers and not have to, I suppose, worry about two right-handers being out there,” Maxwell said. “Still be able to close down one side the ground and an offer Finchy an extra option. I suppose that’s the biggest thing I’ve been working really hard on, bowling from over the wicket and being able to attack right-handed batters and it feels like it’s going really well.”

“Things were different before IPL started and now KL Rahul is playing the way he is, so it’s very hard to look past him at top of the order.”

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had opened together in the final T20I against England in March•Getty Images

Virat Kohli has indicated that he will bat at No. 3 during the T20 World Cup, reversing his desire to open with Rohit Sharma, which he expressed during the home T20 series against England in March. Speaking on Monday at the toss ahead of India’s first warm-up match against England, Kohli said KL Rahul’s commanding form in the IPL was so compelling that he was the best choice to be Rohit’s opening partner.”Things were different before IPL started and now KL Rahul is playing the way he is, so it’s very hard to look past him at top of the order,” Kohli said. “Rohit is a no-brainer. He has been a world-class player right at the top of the order for us. I will be batting at three.”In the 16 matches he has played at the previous three T20 World Cups, Kohli has always batted at No. 3. Kohli was the highest run-getter in the 2014 edition of the tournament, and the second-highest in 2016.But in March, after India’s emphatic win in the fifth T20I against England, Kohli said he would “like to partner” with Rohit because of the potential “damage” each batter was capable of causing once set.The 94-run opening partnership between Rohit and Kohli was the scaffolding on which India built the win, with the captain batting through the innings and scoring an unbeaten 52-ball 80. Rahul was dropped for the final T20I after scoring just 15 runs in the first four games, including two ducks.KL Rahul is set to reclaim his opening slot after finishing the IPL as its third-highest run-getter•Cricket Australia via Getty Images

That was only the seventh occasion on which Kohli opened for India in T20Is, but he said he would open for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL to prepare for the World Cup. Kohli finished this IPL with 405 runs at a strike rate of 119.46 and an average of 28.92.In 16 T20 games this year, including 15 in the IPL, Kohli has opened the batting and managed strike rates of 129.00 in the powerplay and 112.57 in the middle overs. The middle-overs strike rate is the lowest among Indian batters who have batted five or more times this year.In contrast Rahul, leading Punjab Kings, once again finished among the IPL’s most prolific batters, finishing as the third-highest runmaker with 626 runs. Although the Kings failed to make the play-offs, Rahul ended the tournament with a spectacular, unbeaten 42-ball 98 against eventual champions Chennai Super Kings, one of the innings of the tournament.Since 2018, Rahul has been the highest run-getter in the IPL with 2548 runs, winning the Orange Cap (most runs) in the 2020 edition. While announcing the India 15 for the World Cup, Chetan Sharma, India’s chief selector, had nominated Rohit and Rahul as the first-choice openers with Ishan Kishan as the back-up, without naming Kohli. Against England in the warm-up game, both Rahul and Kishan were part of the playing XI with Rohit resting.This World Cup is Kohli’s final assignment as India’s T20I captain after he announced recently that he would step down from the leadership position in the shortest format. Kohl said India were “pretty sorted” about their planning ahead of the first match in the tournament, on October 24 in Dubai against Pakistan.

Eden Hazard might not have forged the career for himself over in Spain that all across the footballing landscape envisaged when he left Chelsea, but the west London club will forever remember their magician for his brilliance in the Premier League.

That’s how his football should be remembered. Awe-inspiring and ethereal, gliding through opponents with a balletic grace that few, such a scant few, have ever been able to produce. Lionel Messi is one of them, Diego Maradona another.

Hazard painted the Premier League with tricks and skills, goals and assists. His was a skillset that will forever imbue the Stamford Bridge pitch with his presence.

Chelsea needed to replace him after his £130m transfer to Real Madrid. An unenviable task. Luckily, they had a transfer ban and, thus, couldn’t.

When Chelsea sold Eden Hazard

That’s facetious, of course, but perhaps Chelsea’s inability to replace Hazard prevented them from splurging on any old player and instead allowed for a more calculated approach.

Maybe not, but say what you want, the likes of Timo Werner and Kai Havertz played vital roles in winning the Champions League, which is no small feat to be sure.

Hazard scored 110 goals and supplied 85 assists across 352 appearances for Chelsea, winning two Premier League and Europa League titles, the FA Cup and the League Cup, as well as being crowned the PFA Premier League Player of the Year for the 2014/15 campaign.

Chelsea might not have been able to replace their Belgian wizard externally, but they did have an internal option in Callum Hudson-Odoi who had been proclaimed Hazard’s second coming.

Callum Hudson-Odoi was supposed to be the next Hazard

In May 2019, former Chelsea defender David Luiz stated that Hudson-Odoi “has the talent one day to be like Eden”.

What praise, what confidence. It’s the kind of double-edged effusion that can hamper an up-and-coming prospect. Hudson-Odoi was indeed an electrifying talent when bursting onto the scene with Chelsea but he shouldered quite the burden, his rise coinciding with Hazard’s exit.

The English winger featured 126 times for Chelsea, scoring 16 goals and adding 21 assists, in an impressive start to life as a senior, his fleet-footed, dynamic ability translating seamlessly from the youth stage.

The bleak truth is that the 23-year-old suffered a knee injury toward the end of the 2018/19 season that severely disrupted his progress. It’s an unfortunate tale of setbacks that ultimately proved his undoing at Stamford Bridge, with his petered-out finish to life in London leading to a £3.5m sale to Nottingham Forest in 2023.

It’s all the more poignant when considering Bayern Munich once wanted his signature and had even seen a £70m bid rejected by the Blues for his signing in 2020, which seems remarkable in hindsight.

Few Blues fans (even considering that celebration) will be unhappy to see him doing well after a testing start to life as a professional, but the fact that he was cashed in for a paltry return merely emphasises what might have been, the perfect homegrown Hazard successor to fire Chelsea back to the top.

Hudson-Odoi was clearly one of the finest young talents that English football had to offer, but despite being the jewel of Cobham’s packed academy, fell heavily by the wayside.

He’s resurrected his Premier League career with Forest, but, frankly, it doesn’t look likely that he will capture and sustain the form that would put him back into conversations concerning Hazard-esque quality.

TalkSPORT pundit Darren Bent has shared a head-turning verdict after Arsenal secured a vital 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Arsenal 2-0 PSG – match report

Manager Mikel Arteta was a delighted man at the full-time whistle as his Gunners side put in an imposing, fierce display against the Ligue 1 champions last night – particularly in the first half.

The north Londoners dominated the early stages on home turf, with superstar winger Bukayo Saka threatening early and fizzling a curling shot just over Gianluigi Donnarumma’s right-hand top corner post.

It was a sign of things to come, and it didn’t take long for the score to open. Arsenal looked to press home their domination and found a breakthrough when Leandro Trossard cut inside with a looping cross for Kai Havertz, who towered above Donnarumma and nodded his side into the lead.

Thereafter, Arteta’s men continued to knock on the door, with Saka then getting on the scoresheet to make it 2-0 – as his tame free-kick somehow found its way through a number of bodies and beyond Donnarumma into the bottom corner.

Havertz really should have made it 3-0 in the second half – having missed a gaping free header inside the area – before Gabriel Martinelli forced Donnarumma into a save down to his left 15 minutes from the full-time whistle.

It was a convincing display by Arsenal against Luis Enrique’s side, with Thomas Partey also impressing with a tenacious performance in midfield. Arteta, speaking after his side’s win, heaped praise on his team for managing the game well.

“The way we played the first half and how determined and brave we were,” said Arteta after Arsenal’s win over PSG.

“The quality we showed again against this kind of opponent and be so dominant, score the two goals. Then we wanted that different second half probably, continue to be that dominant and with the ball to be more composed than we were. We had three big chances to score the third one, and probably that would’ve killed the game, it didn’t. Credit to them as well, the changes they made, the adaptation that they made, they forced us to play again in a different area of the pitch and we had more problems after and to continue to play the way we played in the first half.”

Darren Bent criticises Bukayo Saka after Arsenal win over PSG

Speaking on talkSPORT, pundit Bent reacted to the clash and suggested that Saka underperformed despite his goal.

Indeed, Bent claimed that Saka was “on the fringes” against PSG, and says he’s watched the England international put in much better performances.

“I thought he [Trossard] played really well today,” said Bent on talkSPORT (via TBR).

“Saka got the assist in the first half. I thought he was kind of on the fringes, I have seen him play better.”

According to SofaScore, the 23-year-old was Arsenal’s second-best performer behind Havertz – managing 59 touches, a key pass and of course getting on the scoresheet, although he did lose possession 18 times in total.

The numbers tell a contrary story to Bent’s, but that again shows the real difference between statistics and people’s opinions on the eye.

It’s tough to think of a more exciting and promising young batter in world cricket right now than Rahmanullah Gurbaz.With the IPL auction a month or so away, Gurbaz has gone about executing his audition in style at the Abu Dhabi T10.A night after hitting the fastest fifty of the tournament with a quite stunning 14-ball effort, the baby-faced Afghanistan international smashed 69 off just 29 deliveries to remarkably drag Delhi Bulls into the top two and into a straight qualifier for the final against Deccan Gladiators on Friday. A 49-run hammering of Team Abu Dhabi was more than enough to go ahead of their opponents on net run rate.Related

The top two will have the luxury of getting another chance, with the losing side playing the winner of the eliminator between Team Abu Dhabi and Bangla Tigers, in a triple-header on Friday at the Zayed Cricket Ground.Over the course of two nights, Gurbaz has accumulated 126 runs in 45 balls. In a tournament with renowned hitters of a cricket ball from across the globe, it is the emergence of Gurbaz that has lit up the competition. He stands clear at the top of the runs and boundaries leaderboard with 310 runs and 50 boundariesIn so many ways, Gurbaz embodies the term “the exuberance of youth” beautifully, with his fearlessness and the genuine 360-degree game – something that doesn’t come as a surprise, given that AB de Villiers is his idol. Mind you, here is a talent who hit a scintillating century on his ODI debut for Afghanistan at the very same ground in January. Eleven months on and there isn’t a more thrilling prospect across the cricketing globe.The 50th National Day of the UAE has signalled a long holiday weekend in Abu Dhabi, which has been filled with a frenzy of celebrations thus far. On Thursday night, in front of the biggest crowd of the tournament thus far, Gurbaz provided the best fireworks display yet with a classy knock that included five fours and six sixes.Here is a man who has grown in confidence as the tournament has progressed. A week ago, as he blasted a devastating 70 in a 116-run partnership with Luke Wright, Gurbaz spoke about how his confidence increased when there was experience alongside him.He didn’t need experience by his side on this occasion. This was a man showcasing to the world what he was all about. That trust in his own ability. That decisiveness in his decision making. The execution of the shots themselves.Put into bat by Liam Livingstone, Gurbaz carried on from where left off the night before, effortlessly cutting a wide delivery from Sheldon Cottrell first up for four. He took the West Indian for 14 in his second over, including a majestic six over deep midwicket and the very next over, he and Sherfane Rutherford, who scored a blistering 54 off 22 deliveries, combined to smash Jamie Overton for 22.Rahmanullah Gurbaz upper-cuts on his way to 69 off 29 balls•Abu Dhabi T10

Livingstone brought himself on to try to break the partnership. Instead, Gurbaz gave the England allrounder a taste of his own medicine to audaciously send him for consecutive maximums. By now, he was putting on a show.Rutherford belted Naveen-ul-Haq for three sixes in an over, before Gurbaz reached a second half-century in as many nights, gloriously dispatching his countryman over extra-cover for six. It was a shot of the highest class and entertainment of the highest order. The youngster’s celebration was something to behold.Gurbaz let out an almighty roar, removed his helmet and raised his bat towards a Bulls dugout that was standing in ovation for their superstar. The cameras panned towards the likes of Eoin Morgan and Dwayne Bravo who were stood beaming with joy, clapping in appreciation of a sparkling talent that perhaps encapsulates the next wave of young cricketers, a generation who have grown up immersed in the short-format cricket that has revolutionised the art of batting itself.Alongside Rutherford, they put on a partnership of over a hundred in six overs and by the time Gurbaz was dismissed, Bulls not only had a total to defend, but also a chance to go above Team Abu Dhabi if they managed to win by 28 runs or more.That they did in emphatic fashion, with three wickets from Dominic Drakes and a mesmerising hat-trick from Adil Rashid, which included the scalps of Livingstone, Colin Ingram and Overton. Livingstone top-edged one into the night sky to Gurbaz who held on and celebrated that wicket with the same intensity and energy that he had displayed with the bat. Ingram was undone by a legbreak, before Overton was clean bowled by a googly from Rashid that snuck past his inside edge.The icing on the cake of Gurbaz’s night out in Abu Dhabi was seeing his friend and team-mate, Fazalhaq Farooqi bowl a maiden as the Team Abu Dhabi innings petered out. At the end of the over, he sprinted towards Farooqi with a joyous smile and greeted him with a double fist bump, knowing that the job was almost complete.Whether or not Delhi Bulls go on to become champions of the Abu Dhabi T10, one thing is for certain; in Rahmanullah Gurbaz, there is a champion player in the making.
