da blaze casino： O Palmeiras pode ganhar o reforço de um velho conhecido nos próximos dias: Deyverson. O empréstimo do atacante ao Alavés chegou ao fim, e o atacante, campeão brasileiro pelo clube paulista em 2018,pode voltar a vestir a camisa alviverde.
Em sua primeira passagem, o centroavante anotou 24 gols em 100 jogos pelo clube. Na Espanha, no entanto, o desempenho foi mais discreto. Deyverson entrou em campo 36 vezes, sendo sete pelo Getafe, equipe que defendeu no 1º semestre de 2020, e 29 pelo Alavés, seu último time. Iniciou como titular em apenas 17 partidas, totalizando 1295 minutos no gramado.
Nesse período, marcou duas vezes – uma por cada equipe – e deu quatro assistências, obtendo uma média de uma participação direta em gol a cada 215 minutos em campo. Mesmo tendo sido reserva na maior parte do último Campeonato Espanhol – foi titular em apenas 11 jogos -, terminou a competição como o segundo maior garçom do Alavés, com três passes para gol, atrás somente do experiente Lucas Pérez, que deu um a mais.
Deyverson, no entanto, perdeu ainda mais espaço nos últimos jogos. Desde 21 de fevereiro, quando sua equipe foi goleada por 4 a 0 pela Real Sociedad, na 24ª rodada de La Liga, que o atacante não inicia como titular. De lá pra cá, entrou somente em sete partidas, sempre depois dos 35 minutos do 2º tempo.
Números bem diferentes aos obtidos pelo jogador em sua primeira passagem pela Espanha, quando defendeu Levante e também o Alavés. Na ocasião, Deyverson disputou 70 jogos e botou 16 bolas na rede.

Former India allrounder wants the national team to hire a team psychologist
ESPNcricinfo staff13-May-20202:38
Here’s who Yuvraj Singh thinks will break his fastest fifty record
Yuvraj Singh believes Hardik Pandya has the potential to become a “massive asset” for India by the 2023 World Cup, subject to the latter working on his temperament. Yuvraj said Hardik was a “phenomenal” talent and only one of the two current batsmen, along with his Indian teammate KL Rahul, who have the potential to break his record for the fastest T20I fifty, achieved in the 2007 World T20 against England.”I feel Hardik has the potential (to break my fastest T20I fifty record),” Yuvraj said on Sportscreen’s YouTube page. “I feel Hardik is someone who has got amazing talent, phenomenal talent. But probably someone needs to work with his head, where his head is, he is such a hard working guy, he is a nice guy.”Yuvraj buttressed his assertion by pointing to having seen Hardik’s amazing ball-hitting skills from up close during his stint with Mumbai Indians in IPL 2019. He cited the example of Hardik’s 91 – his personal T20 best – against KKR at the Eden Gardens. Mumbai still lost the game, having been set a massive target of 233.Yuvraj had even called Hardik’s innings “the best” he had seen in IPL, and had told the Baroda allrounder he could be India’s lynchpin at the 2019 World Cup with both bat and ball. Eventually, Hardik made 226 runs in the World Cup without a half-century, and picked up 10 wickets. In the semi-final against New Zealand, Hardik made 32 a slog across the line proved to be his undoing.According to Yuvraj, Hardik still needed to perform in “crunch” moments, which could be achieved by working on the mental side of the game.”He hits the ball spectacularly,” Yuvraj said. “I was at Mumbai Indians last year and he got 90 odd off 30 balls [91 off 34 against KKR], it was a phenomenal innings. He can actually be the next big allrounder for India, but he hasn’t performed at crunch times. Those performances haven’t come because he is a big hitter and he likes those big hits, but when he starts to know when to take a single and a double, and when to hit those big sixes, then he will actually work as a better player. So Hardik has massive potential to be a world class player. If someone works on his mind, he can be a massive asset till we get to the next World Cup.”Yuvraj Singh joins in the celebrations•Craig Golding/AFP/Getty Images
Yuvraj further emphasised the need for India to rope in a mental conditioning coach, particularly with a view to help youngsters deal with the intense scrutiny and pressure of the international game. He cited the examples of Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw, who he felt could benefit most from such an appointment. Pant, in a short international career, has already experienced volatile ups and downs scarcely imaginable for a 22-year old, and Shaw, a centurion on Test debut, has served a ban for a doping violation.During Yuvraj’s time, Paddy Upton combined as the mental conditioning and strategic leadership coach, finishing his three year stint in those positions after India won the 2011 World Cup. Yuvraj felt that though India had done well under the current coaching staff, a psychologist was needed to help youngsters cope with the mental side of the game.”I feel the current players don’t have anyone to speak about the mental side of the game to,” Yuvraj said. “We have guys like Rishabh Pant, guys like Prithvi Shaw, they are so talented, and obviously unfortunately there’s intense scrutiny these days because of the number of media outlets – one game you fail, you feel like you’ve failed the series. So, there’s nobody to talk to them about the mental side – what’s going on? How can we get better? Or probably don’t do this or do that. Share your experiences. I’ve been saying for a while, the team needs a good psychologist. But it should be someone the players respect. That’s important because there are a lot of young players, and younger players, as when we are growing up, we feel we know more than our parents and coaches.”Yuvraj even questioned whether the Indian coaching staff lead by Ravi Shastri and batting coach Vikram Rathour, while being equipped to deal with the technical stuff, could manage to sort the mental challenges players faced.”Players have done quite well under Ravi Shastri. They won in Australia, they have done quite well. But my point is – as a coach I don’t know how Ravi is – I know that you cannot have a particular way with every player, you have to have a different way with every player. I don’t see that with the coaching staff. You have guys like Vikram Rathour, he has been my senior, he has been a mentor at times when I was playing state, but with all due respect, if someone has not played cricket at that level for a long time, the younger generation which is more prone to T20 and 50-over, what are you going to tell them? Vikram Rathour might tell them about technique or how to hit the ball, but there’s no one to work on the mental side. The captain can only do so much. The coach can only do so much. That’s why I’m saying that you need a psychologist who actually talks to players after a particular session.”

Spurs searching for long-term Harry Kane replacement
da cassino： The Lilywhites have coped very well in their first season without club-record goalscorer and legend Harry Kane, following his multi-million pound move to Bayern Munich last summer.
Tottenham named as shark in race for £69m man who Christian Eriksen mentors
They’re apparently serious contenders.
ByEmilio Galantini Apr 5, 2024
While Kane pulls up trees on the continent, Spurs have relied on both Son Heung-min and Richarlison for their attacking threat, with the duo scoring 25 league goals between them since the England star's exit.
Richarlison can perhaps feel hard done by some reports, though, which indicate that Tottenham are looking to sign Kane's long-term replacement this summer – despite the former Everton star's fine form over the past few months.

There are some concerns over whether Richarlison is really the right man to fire Spurs among England's elite, so much so that Fabio Paratici is said to be laying the groundwork for a marquee striker signing this summer.
Chairman Daniel Levy is said to have put aside "big funds" for Tottenham to sign a new number nine later this year. There have been a few names linked already, including what would be very ambitious swoops for the likes of Newcastle star Alexander Isak.
Perhaps a more realistic option, though, is Brentford star Ivan Toney. The 27-year-old is very likely to leave Brentford this summer amid the growing clamour for his services, as already explained by Bees boss Thomas Frank.
“It is relatively obvious that Ivan Toney will probably be sold this summer,” Frank said to Danish media, via Tipsbladet. “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.
“He is a really skilled striker who is in his prime football age. Personally, as a coach, I would prefer to keep Toney but one day it could be fun to see him on a top team. This winter we actually had no offers for him, but it will surprise me if there aren’t a lot of clubs that will be interested in him.”
Tottenham urged to sign Toney to take them to the "next level"
Now, BBC Radio 5 Live pundit Alan Hutton has urged Spurs to do a deal for Toney – who can take them to the "next level".
Brentford striker Ivan Toney
“I’d say go and get him,” Hutton told Tottenham News. “Of course, £60million is a lot but he’s a goalscorer. He does it Brentford week in and week out, he’s got really good stats, he looks like a leader and he’s grown in stature. You can see how confident he is, taking penalties for England is no problem, he’s just a cool, calm customer.
“Yes, Richarlison has done alright but I don’t think he’s an Ivan Toney, I don’t think he’ll get you the goals he could do. I think that takes Spurs to the next level if he can continue his goalscoring form for the next coming season."
Former allrounder and Rohit Sharma discuss the importance of guiding youngsters properly
ESPNcricinfo staff08-Apr-2020
Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma walk back after India’s win•Associated Press
Former India allrounder Yuvraj Singh believes the big difference between players of his generation and the ones today is how they dealt with seniors in the team, specifically in the “sense of respect towards seniors” and appreciating their work.”The youngsters say anything to anyone now,” Singh told Rohit Sharma, India’s white-ball vice-captain, during an Instagram chat hosted by the latter on Tuesday.According to Singh, the other key difference between the two generations is that the current India team has a very small group of seniors – captain Virat Kohli and Sharma in the main – so the youngsters “have very less guys to look up to”.Singh opened up on the subject after Sharma asked him for an appraisal of the current Indian team, not as a player but as someone watching from the outside. “Can you tell us what you find that we are doing good, what we are doing bad, where we can improve as a team,” Sharma asked.Singh, who retired last June, was blunt in his assessment: “See, I will tell you the difference what I felt in this generation and our generation. I felt that our seniors were very disciplined. Obviously, at the time there was no social media, so there were very few distractions. There was a certain behaviour that we boys had to carry watching our seniors – how they play, how they work hard, and how they actually talk to people, how they talk to the media. Because they were great ambassadors of India.”So I learned a lot that way. And that’s what we tried to do and that is what we told you guys that if you have to play for next ten years, after playing for India you have to be more careful about your image.”But I feel in this generation, I feel the seniors that are there are only you and Virat Kohli are there, who are playing three formats. I just feel there are very less guys to look up to. And I feel that the sense of respect towards seniors to say something or that respect of how these players have become great, like it has become a thin line now, (the youngsters say anything to anyone now).”As a consequence, Singh said, incidents like the one that led to Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul being suspended in 2018 took place, because there were not enough seniors to guide the younger players. “Because of social media and party scenes and the incident that happened with KL and Hardik, these kind of things during our time we could not even imagine of such things happening during our time because we respected the seniors a lot. We knew that if we did some mistake our seniors would tell us ‘, don’t do these things, this is not nice’. I feel the atmosphere is not the same. The boys (juniors) do what they want to now.”Singh, however, didn’t want to blame the youngsters entirely, saying that they did not know how to “handle” the fame and money that came on the back of big IPL contracts. During his time, seniors like Sachin Tendulkar were in his ear, to caution him at the right time, something that might not be case right now.”Even after a little bit of success, it’s not their fault also because at a young age you get distracted (and) because IPL contracts are so big,” Singh said. “[It’s the] starting of their careers, they are not even playing for India they are getting such big contracts. So they don’t know how to handle the money so they’re easily distracted.””So you need seniors, you need coaches, you guys (seniors) have to talk to the youngsters and explain to them what is important to them – playing for the country and working hard on the field and then all these things follow. Tendulkar always told me that, ‘if you perform on the field, everything will follow’.’They don’t want to play Test cricket’Singh suggested that some of the younger lot were too keen on the limited-overs formats, and not interested in long-form cricket at all. “I was at the National Cricket Academy (in Bengaluru) recently. I was observing (some) boys there don’t want to play Test cricket,” Singh said. “They don’t want to play four-day cricket for their own state. They are happy playing one-day cricket because of IPL.”Except you guys, I don’t think the second generation really wants to play Test cricket. And Test cricket is the real test of a cricketer. So I want the next generation to tell them these things.”Sharma agreed with Singh, recollecting his early years with the Indian team when barring a few youngsters like Suresh Raina and Piyush Chawla, the dressing room was full of seniors. He did, however, point out that he was doing his bit to help the newbies, and presented a recent example of putting an arm around young Rishabh Pant’s shoulders after the youngster came under intense scrutiny for his performances in front of and behind the stumps since the 2019 World Cup.Rishabh Pant exchanges notes with Rohit Sharma in the nets•Getty Images
“I keep trying to talk to the guys as much as I can. I talk a lot to Rishabh Pant,” Sharma said. “He came under a lot of scrutiny recently. He’s just 20 and he became really worried. Apart from Pant, there are five-six people I regularly talk to about these things. This (criticism) will be there as long as you’re playing, it’s not going to go anywhere.”‘Every innings should be the like the last of your career’The two players also spoke about how they developed the mindset to dominate opposition for longer periods of time, to convert their starts into big scores and play in the zone where they stood out for their excellence. Sharma wanted to know from Singh, the Player of the Tournament at the 2011 World Cup, how he developed that mindset.”To come into that zone, you need to go through a lot of experience in games. You need that experience,” Singh said. “Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, [Shreyas] Iyer and whoever comes as soon as they come we expect them to play like we did, because we have learnt early. That won’t happen. It has to be over time when they play certain amount of games. Then they fail, they play domestic cricket and they come back and they play a number of games and with that experience when they have a few knocks like that they get into that zone where they know how to make a big score. Like you and Virat probably know how to convert 60s into hundreds. It will not happen with a lot of younger guys because they don’t have that experience.”Whenever they are not playing international cricket they should be playing domestic cricket or they should be playing any form of cricket where they keep on getting experience of playing a lot of games getting into different kind of situations on different wickets.”Singh called Sharma a good example for the youngsters to follow: “When you were playing in the middle-order, you had some exceptional innings of 70, 80, 90 not out, 65 not out. People were saying, ‘wah, Rohit was very good’. But after now that you are opening you have made 200 not out, 260, 200 and 150… so you have taken your game to the next level. That has happened after you playing seven-eight years of international cricket.”Although he agreed with Singh, Sharma stressed that he didn’t want the young players to “lose those seven-eight years, and, which is why I keep talking to them and make them understand that you should start learning these things now itself. I make them understand to try and make sure that every innings you play should be the like the last one of your career.”

da casino： Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of securing Champions League qualification suffered an undoubted blow last weekend following the dismal defeat away to London rivals Fulham, yet with the Lilywhites still just three points off the top four, all is certainly not lost just yet.
da bwin： There's no denying that things haven't gone quite so smoothly for Ange Postecoglou's side of late – having also lost at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers just a few weeks ago – yet that should not cloud what has been a hugely positive first season in charge for the former Celtic boss.
Among the many success stories this season for the 58-year-old has been the remarkable improvement of Pedro Porro, with the former Sporting CP having been "outstanding all year", in the words of his manager.
Now back involved at international level for Spain, the 24-year-old has shaken off what was a slow start at Spurs following his arrival in January 2023, after contributing just three goals and three assists from his wing-back berth in the second half of last season.
Despite now operating as part of a back four, the one-time Manchester City asset has thrived under Postecoglou's tutelage, racking up eight assists and providing one goal so far in 2023/24, having also created ten 'big chances' in the Premier League to date.

Such form has unsurprisingly sparked some unwanted attention from rival suitors – namely his former club City – although while Daniel Levy and co should do everything in their power to keep hold of him for now, it may not be too long before they are able to unleash a potential successor.
The player who could succeed Pedro Porro at Spurs
As stated above, losing Porro just 18 months into his stint in north London would be a travesty, yet an exit a little later down the line may not sting too greatly if Postecoglou has had time to bed in a promising talent from the academy before then.
Step forward, Leo Black, with the 18-year-old earmarked as one of the most exciting prospects at the club's disposal at present, having only recently been named by The Standard as part of their list of the top 50 youngsters in London academies.
Interestingly, as the piece notes, the teenager has shown his suitability as a possible replacement for Porro in the near future having operated as an inverted right-back this season in the youth ranks, with Postecoglou very much keen for his full-backs to drop into a central role when possible.
'One of the most improved players in the Spurs academy over the past 18 months' – as per the Standard – Black has the tools to be able to thrive when inverting having also lined up in a central midfield role on occasion this season, with such versatility also likely to be music to the ears of the first-team boss.
Ange Postecoglou
A promotion to the senior ranks should be on the cards before too long…
Leo Black's season in numbers at youth level
Although yet to actually feature for Tottenham's U21 side, the suggestion is that Black has already proven himself to be far "too good" for the U18s, according to club insider John Wenham, with the respected source also going on to note that the emerging gem "is a real talent" who has "developed immensely".
Taking that next step will be needed before life in the first-team squad can be contemplated, although, as Wenham suggested, the Englishman's form at U18 level is certainly cause for excitement, having dazzled with his attacking quality.
Much like Porro has shone going forward for Postecoglou's side, Black has also been a real menace from his right-back berth of late, registering four goals and six assists in just 17 Premier League games at that age group.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast's In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
Part of the side that reached the last eight of the FA Youth Cup – prior to losing narrowly to Man City last month – the rising star is certainly a figure that Postecoglou and Levy should be paying close attention to.
With chances having only recently been given to the likes of Jamie Donley in the first-team, the pathway is there for Black to also make the leap to become Spurs' next Porro…

da betano casino： Aston Villa’s chances of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League took a big hit last weekend as they stumbled to a 4-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.
da esoccer bet： Having just three days recovery between the clash on Sunday and their Europa Conference League tie against Ajax looked as though it caught up with Unai Emery’s men.
While they were 2-0 down to Spurs, John McGinn got himself sent off with 25 minutes remaining and the north Londoners netted another two in added time to wrap up a convincing victory.
John McGinn
Should Villa prevail against the Dutch giants this Thursday, could fatigue begin to set in and derail their challenge for a Champions League spot?
McGinn’s red card on Sunday means he will now be suspended for the next few league matches and combining this with an ever-growing injury list, it looks as though the Midlands side could see their dreams being destroyed.
Emery has formed an excellent starting XI, but his squad depth is a worry, especially in defence.
If Matty Cash gets injured, the only other senior right back in the first-team squad is Calum Chambers, and he has played a grand total of 222 minutes this season, and he is currently earning more than one of their January transfer signings.
Calum Chambers’ statistics at Aston Villa
In January 2022, during Steven Gerrard’s first transfer window in charge of the club, the former Rangers manager lured Chambers north in a move that cost them just £2m.
This was due to the defender having only six months left on his Arsenal contract and, on the surface, it appeared to be a bargain.
Calum-chambers-aston-villa
Chambers had spent the previous six and a half seasons at the Gunners, making 122 appearances across all competitions, yet his final 18 months saw him feature on just 17 occasions, and it was clear his future was elsewhere.
Gerrard had secured the signing of a defender with plenty of Premier League experience, and he played 11 games for Villa until May 2022, scoring once in the process.
This should have been a solid platform to work with ahead of the following season, yet he started just five matches for the club, including only two in the league.
The right-back ranked in a lowly 17th position in the squad for accurate passes per game (10.9) in the top flight, while finishing in 11th spot for accurate long balls per game (0.6) and 14th for tackles per match (0.6), indicating that he failed to perform when given a chance in the first team.
The 29-year-old has found opportunities even harder to come by this term as Emery prefers Cash on the right of his back four.
calum-chambers-arsenal-transfer-aston-villa
Indeed, Chambers has played just 44 minutes of Premier League football during 2023/24 and that came against Nottingham Forest a couple of weeks ago amid the club's wretched run of injuries at the back.
The Englishman still has another year left on his current contract, yet the Spaniard will clearly be looking to move him on this summer, especially considering the wage that he is earning every week.
What Calum Chambers earns at Aston Villa
The defender signed a three-and-a-half-year deal in January 2022, earning a staggering £50k-per-week in the process.
Since he joined, the defender has only played 32 times for the Villa Park outfit, which indicates that he is rinsing the club dry, even if a lavish fee wasn't spent to acquire his services.

Indeed, combining his £2m transfer fee with the £5.7m he has earned roughly since moving to the club just over two years ago, the total comes to £7.7m, which works out at £240k per game.
While he may be towards the lower end of the scale concerning the highest earners at Villa, he is still earning more than Morgan Rogers, who joined in January, yet the youngster clearly has a big part to play for the club in the coming weeks, unlike Chambers.
How much Morgan Rogers earns at Aston Villa
It was evident during the winter transfer window that Emery was looking to add some attacking reinforcements to his side, while also thinking about the future in the process.
This led him to target a move for Rogers, who had impressed during the first six months of the season for Middlesbrough.
The winger had scored seven goals and registered nine assists for Boro in all competitions and this type of form clearly grabbed the eye of Emery.
A deal was finally announced on deadline day, with Rogers potentially costing the club up to £16m, but his potential ensures this could soon turn into a wise investment.
Wage Burners
Football FanCast's Wage Burners series explores the salaries of the modern-day game.
The winger was handed a long-term deal while earning a wage of £20k-per-week, which placed him near the bottom of the squad, and this is even £30k-per-week less than Chambers, who has barely featured this season.
The 29-year-old is approaching the last few years of his career and has certainly rinsed the club since his January move in 2022, although Emery will be keen to move him on as soon as possible.
Morgan Rogers in action against Aston Villa.
Rogers, on the other hand, has a wonderful future ahead of him. He has yet to open up his account for Villa, but given plenty of time to develop, there is no doubt he can become a shrewd acquisition.
Against Luton Town a couple of weeks ago, Rogers was unleashed in the starting XI and gave Emery plenty to think about while delivering a promising performance.
Not only did he have a shot on target, but the 21-year-old succeeded with 100% of his dribble attempts, made two key passes and lost possession on just four occasions, proving that he is ready for the Premier League.
In comparison, Chambers’ last league appearance saw the defender win zero duels, and make zero tackles or interceptions along with succeeding with 0% of his accurate long ball attempts.
Yet he is earning more than Rogers. The summer transfer window simply cannot come quicker for the former Paris Saint-Germain boss as he seeks to improve his squad.
Chambers will surely be one of the first players to depart to free up some of the wage bill.
