Na visão do volante Charles, o Ceará precisa minimizar os erros dentro das quatro linhas devido ao perigo que o rival pode proporcionar.

‘Sabemos que a competição é muito difícil e o Grêmio é um adversário muito forte. Precisamos minimizar ao máximo os erros. Vamos trabalhar bem para conseguir a vitória. Temos que fazer o dever de casa. Jogamos em casa e vamos com tudo para conseguir os três pontos’, ponderou Charles ao site oficial do Vozão.

Ceará e Grêmio se enfrentam nesta quarta-feira, a partir das 21h30 (Horário de Brasília), na Arena Castelão.

The Uruguayan stepped off the bench to score in the Community Shield, but should he now start in the Reds' Premier League opener?

One game, one goal, one trophy. One new hero, topless and top-knotted, for Liverpool supporters to worship.

As debuts go, Darwin Nunez could hardly have asked for a better one. When you arrive at a new club in a new league, and for a big transfer fee, the first thing you want to do is start well. The Uruguayan has certainly done that.

“Big for him, and big for us,” was the verdict of Virgil van Dijk after Nunez had emerged from the bench to sink Manchester City in the FA Community Shield at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. 

In a little over half an hour in Leicester, the £64-million ($76m) man showed exactly why Liverpool were so keen to sign him from Benfica, why Van Dijk believes him to be the perfect “modern-day striker”, and why Jurgen Klopp is convinced the 23-year-old will make a side which chased the quadruple last season even stronger.

  Outshining Haaland

  From the moment he entered the pitch, replacing Roberto Firmino after 58 minutes, Nunez was right in the thick of things.

  While Erling Haaland, City’s own big-money striker, operated on the periphery, having fewer touches and attempting fewer passes than any other player on the pitch, Liverpool’s No.27 was involved in everything, desperate to make an impact.

  He certainly did that. He finished having taken more shots (four) and received more big chances (three) than any Liverpool player, and having had five touches in the opposition penalty area, only one fewer than Haaland managed in 90 minutes.

  He won his side a penalty, his header handled by Ruben Dias, allowing Mohamed Salah to give the Reds a decisive lead. And then, in stoppage-time, came the crowning glory, Nunez stooping to head Andy Robertson’s knock-down past Ederson from close range, and seal his side’s 3-1 win.

  Connecting with his new fans

  The celebrations said it all, Nunez removing his shirt in front of the delirious Liverpudlians. How he loved it, and how they loved it.

  They had come to see him as much as anyone, no question about that. They chanted his name as he warmed up in the first half, and again as he was summoned from the bench in the second. After his goal, they unfurled a Uruguay flag in the stands. Not since the days of Luis Suarez have we seen that.

  Suarez, too, made an instant impact on Merseyside of course, and if Nunez can follow in his countryman’s footsteps, then Reds fans are in for one hell of a ride.

  For now, though, they can simply enjoy the moment. A new hero is in town at Anfield.

  'Don't read the press!'

  It is clear that some of the criticism which, ridiculously, greeted Nunez’s performances in pre-season, has been heard and felt, and not just by the man himself.

  Here, for example, we heard Andy Robertson, in a live pitchside interview, mention “some of the rubbish said about him recently”, and in his post-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp again referred to the conversations around the new-boy’s form as “a joke.”

  In the mixed zone, meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk offered some sound advice to his new team-mate.

  “He has to not look at what all you guys say about him after a game!” the Dutchman told a gaggle of assembled reporters. “He has to just focus on himself, on the team, improve, get settled in as quickly as possible. 

  “The only way to do that is to learn from training, learning from the games you play, and don’t look at what others have to say about you and your performances. That, for me, is the key to success. You can get distracted by all that other stuff.”

  'The modern-day striker'

  Of course this is only one game, and not even, technically at least, a competitive one either. Bigger challenges await Nunez, and Liverpool, and while there will be plenty who revel in his joy and Haaland’s misfortune, drawing conclusions at this point is as silly as it was after Nunez’s pre-season bow.

  Van Dijk has faced both strikers, and so is well-placed to talk about their skills and potential. And he has no doubt that both Nunez and Haaland will shine in the Premier League.

  “You see he is direct, he makes good runs in behind, he’s quick, he’s strong,” he said of Nunez. “I said it before, I think he’s a modern-day striker. 

  “Haaland is the same. They have similar attributes, and they are difficult to play against.

  “He [Haaland] obviously has a lot of qualities that can make life difficult for defenders. He will make defenders' lives in England horrible! He’s so direct. He has everything; he can head the ball, he’s quick. 

  “There is pressure on players who are coming in with a big price tag, but what can you do? You come in to perform, and the club pays a transfer fee for you. You just have to work, and in his case try to score as many goals as possible. That’s the same for Darwin in our case.”

The Delhi High Court has refused to permit the contentious RP Mehra Block of the Feroz Shah Kotla ground to be used for the first semi-finals of the World Twenty20, on March 30. This puts a question mark over the match venue, and officials of the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) are due to meet the ICC on Wednesday to try and resolve the issue.On Monday the DDCA approached the court with a petition seeking to open the stand, in an attempt to avoid the semi-final being shifted to an alternate venue if the issue related to the Mehra Block was not resolved.Ravinder Manchanda, the DDCA treasurer, meanwhile said that the DDCA had sent a letter to Justice (retired) Mukul Mudgal, appointed as the observer by the court for the World T20 matches in Delhi, assuring him the safety of the Mehra Block. “We have withdrawn the petition. We have given an undertaking to the Justice Mudgal as far as safety of the structure is concerned, and the safety and security of the spectators is concerned. Justice Mudgal would do the needful now,” Manchanda told ESPNcricinfo.The court had, in an earlier oral order, said that the Mehra Block would remain an unauthorised structure until the DDCA had got the clearance from the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC). On Tuesday, the court reiterated that stand when it told DDCA that it would not open the Block for public use unless the SDMC granted the completion certificate.The court also reminded the DDCA counsels that Justice Mudgal was not there to give clearances, and it was the SDMC approval that the court wanted to see. “We can’t grant use of any building without completion certificate,” a two-judge division bench of the High Court told the DDCA counsel. Duly the DDCA withdrew its petition.According to a key official involved with the conduct of matches in Delhi, Justice Mudgal is highly unlikely to change his stance on the Mehra Block. “Since it [Mehra Block] is not an authorised structure, Mudgal has not permitted anyone else except the media. And that, too, because the angle of the cameras cannot change. The stand is right behind the bowler’s arm,” the official said.The official also clarified that Mudgal had not raised any issue with respect to hoardings in front of the Mehra block as certain media reports indicated. “He only said no person would be allowed there except for media,” the official said. It is understood that Mudgal made his stand clear to ICC chief executive Dave Richardson recently.

With a 199-run second Test victory over England at Headingley, the current New Zealand side added evidence to a case which suggests this is the country’s best Test era under the captaincy of Brendon McCullum and stewardship of Mike Hesson

‘Can play hard cricket without playing nasty cricket’

With a 199-run second Test victory over England at Headingley, the current New Zealand side added evidence to a case which suggests this is the country’s best Test era under the captaincy of Brendon McCullum and stewardship of Mike Hesson.Their attacking tactics with bat, ball and field have been dubbed revolutionary and make for compelling viewing in the eyes of many beholders. However, a couple of facts suggest the perception extends beyond the anecdotal and into reality.1. A run of seven undefeated series, starting with the Bangladesh series in October 2013 and extending to this drawn England series, is the most by any New Zealand side. They have also beaten the West Indies home and away, beaten India and Sri Lanka at home, and drawn with Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.The previous best era began with the 2-1 away victory over Australia in November 1985 and finished with a draw on the bomb-curtailed Sri Lanka tour of April 1987. Between those bookends they beat Australia and the West Indies at home and England away. When you consider that era included two undisputed greats of the New Zealand game in Richard Hadlee and Martin Crowe, it puts the feat into perspective.Tuesday’s victory was New Zealand’s first away win against England in 16 years, second at Headingley, and ninth overall in 101 Tests between the countries but, perhaps most importantly, it was their first win in a Test starting during May. In seven previous examples – 1965, 2004, 2008 (twice), 2013 (twice), 2015 – they had lost six and drawn one.2. The Headingley victory provided another tribute to McCullum’s leadership. He insisted they could play the same way as they did at Lord’s, despite seeing the test slip from their grasp on the fourth day.With the win he edges ahead of Geoff Howarth as the most successful New Zealand captain on the basis of percentage wins. Howarth had 11 from 30 matches (36.67 per cent); McCullum has nine from 24 matches (37.50 per cent). As a further benchmark, Stephen Fleming earned 28 from 80 matches (35 per cent).Home and away series against Australia this summer will provide the best gauge yet as to their place in history.Hesson, who along with McCullum was awarded the New Zealand Order of Merit in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List during the second Test, said their aggressive mindset was justified at Headingley.”It is challenging if it doesn’t work out because you can get exposed, but if you truly believe the way you play gives you the best chances of success then, regardless of the situation, you need to stick to your guns.”We were under pressure a lot and took steps forward from 2 for 2 and 23 for 2 in each innings respectively. We could have gone into our shell but stuck with the way we wanted to play. Within a short space of time we got back the initiative.”If you look at the players in the group, most instinctively play with flair. There’s also balance with the likes of Kane Williamson, BJ Watling and Tom Latham.”Seven undefeated test series in a row is something we’re proud of, especially challenging good sides in their home conditions.”New Zealand now prepare for five one-day internationals and one Twenty20 against England.World Cup incumbents Grant Elliott, Nathan McCullum and Mitchell McClenaghan rejoin the squad, while left-arm pace bowler Ben Wheeler and left-arm orthodox allrounder Mitchell Santner are expected to make their limited-overs debuts.

وقال كلوب في تصريحات صحفية عقب المباراة: “كان هناك ركلة جزاء لنا، لقد سمعت بذلك لكن لم أُشاهد الحالة، بصراحة أنا مهتم وقَلِق أكثر بشأن اللعب بصورة أفضل مما قدمناه – بدل الحديث عن التحكيم- فقد كان ذلك [أداء الفريق] هو المشكلة الرئيسية بالنسبة لي”.

وتابع كلوب: “قدمنا كل شيء لكن في كرة القدم عليك القيام بالتدخلات الحاسمة بالوقت المناسب.. لايمكن تلقي الأهداف التي تلقيّناها، يمكن أن يحدث ذلك مع الهدف الأول لكن -تولوز- سجل هدفين آخرين وتم إلغاؤهما [بداعي التسلل] لذا تلقّينا عدة أهداف الليلة وهذا غير جيد”.

وأشار: “النتيجة ليست جيدة لكن الاداء لم يكن كذلك، أنا لست قلقًا، فعليًا سنقوم بتغيير ذلك بكل تأكيد”.

وتجمد رصيد ليفربول عند النقطة 9 في صدارة المجموعة الخامسة، فيما أرتقي رصيد تولوز إلى النقطة 7 في المركز الثاني.

Tim Southee and Trent Boult shared five wickets between them to force Lahore Lions to 19 for 5 while chasing 171. The rest was simply a blur of pink as Northern Knights hurtled to a crushing 72-run victory.

The Report by Alagappan Muthu14-Sep-2014
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsLahore Lions’ top order was clueless against the new ball•BCCI

The match had begun in overcast conditions. Lahore Lions’ bowlers were not able to enlist their help and conceded 170 and their batsmen became helpless witnesses to what could have happened. Tim Southee and Trent Boult had the ball zipping around to have Lions 19 for 5. The rest was simply a blur of pink as Northern Knights hurtled to a crushing 72-run victory.Daniel Flynn, their captain, knew he had a new-ball attack that could dissect Test sides and his half-century coupled with BJ Watling’s provided what ended up being a giant run-rate boost that primes them to make the main draw.Their only roadblock on the day was Saad Nasim, who willed Lions towards some sense of dignity with a fifty of his own. He was the only Lahore batsman to reach double-figures, while his team was all out for 98, the tenth-lowest total in CLT20.The slide began with a menacing yorker from Southee, one that swung in late, sneaked under Nasir Jamshed’s plod and toppled his stumps. Boult ensured he wasn’t left behind by setting up the other opener Ahmed Shehzad. Doubts were sowed when an inswinger had the batsman playing around his pads. The next ball was angled across, Shehzad’s muddled footwork and feeble prod was safely pouched by the keeper. A contest was brewing, although it was limited to the two quicks.Southee surged ahead by bouncing Mohammad Hafeez and had a little luck in undoing Umar Siddiq’s promotion. Boult hit back with a rousing inswinger that rattled Akmal’s stumps to bring the seamers’ skirmish even. By this time Lions – who were five down – were so far behind the game that Southee and Boult’s game of one-upmanship was the only thing that caught the crowd’s attention.The winner was declared in rather emphatic fashion, if again with a little bit of luck. Asif Raza slogged to deep midwicket, where Southee pulled off a spectacular relay catch to inflict further hurt on an already listless Lions display. A vast majority of their batsmen did not seem aware of the importance of run-rates and their teams’ is languishing at -1.49. Except from Nasim, there was no attempt to weather the Knights’ swing bowlers and lessen the margin of defeat.Lions’ intent was even worse on the field. Flynn was dropped on 26 and Watling got a life on 46 – and both of them were the reason Knights clattered 52 runs in the final five overs. The bowling looked a far cry from what Mumbai Indians had to face on Saturday night. Hafeez had been asked at the toss if the short turnaround from their match with Mumbai Indians might have an adverse effect. He had dead batted it, but judging by the events that transpired, there might have been a knock-on effect.Akmal messed up a stumping in the second over and shelled a regulation catch in the 17th. Nasir Jamshed lost control of a catch, could not rein it in on the rebound and failed to realise a run-out opportunity all off the same ball. Adnan Rasool misjudged a chance at deep square leg and the ball lobbed over his head for a four. And during the slog overs, deep midwicket and long-on stood rooted to their spots while Scott Styris, a new batsman, stole three runs.Meanwhile Knights, who had shelled five catches in six overs yesterday, erased that memory quite ruthlessly. Daniel Harris hunted a big hit from Nasim from long-on, flung himself to the right and almost conjured a catch out of nowhere. And the contrasts continued still. While Flynn employed desperate dives multiple times to safeguard his wicket, Rasool was caught napping by a direct hit from Flynn himself and Nasim too wandered thoughtlessly out of his crease to be run-out by the bowler to give the Lions chase a fitting end.

2013 in a nutshell

The ground development at Nevil Road has dominated everything about the club for the past few seasons. The playing budget has been severely squeezed, a number of senior players left and Gloucestershire slumped to the foot of the County Championship in 2012. But with planning permission secured, there was more breathing space last season and the signing of Australian Michael Klinger was a glorious acquisition.Klinger was more than anyone could have hoped for. He took over the captaincy from Alex Gidman, refreshed a young dressing room and led from the front with over 2,000 runs across all competitions. He was so good Gloucestershire tried to sign him as a domestic player on a Hungarian passport.He led an improvement in the County Championship, where Gloucestershire won only one fewer match than promoted Northamptonshire, had four batsman score over 1,000 runs – including young left-hander Chris Dent – and again had Will Gidman leading their attack superbly. Perhaps more pleasingly Craig Miles returned a physically different specimen two years on from his remarkable debut as a 16-year-old to take 43 wickets.Gloucestershire were also well in the hunt for a Yorkshire Bank 40 semi-final and actually beat Glamorgan, who qualified, twice. But there was little excitement in the Friends Life t20 where only three victories left them bottom of their group and a points deduction for a poor pitch at Cheltenham of all places means they start with a handicap in 2014.

2014 prospects

There is definitely a case to be made that things are coming together at Gloucestershire. Nevil Road has been transformed and new chief executive Will Brown has arrived to lead them forward. Securing more international matches is essential following their investment so a close eye should be kept on the next round of bidding for England games from 2017.On the field, the squad is settling down and young players who previously might have been selected out of necessity now have useful experience. Benny Howell has emerged as a very effective allrounder and the wicketkeeping conundrum that has rumbled on since 2011 appears to have been solved by Gareth Roderick.The upturn in form of several batsman was a major plus last season, they got full value out of Hamish Marshall and Alex Gidman for the first time in several seasons, and Gloucestershire can now put out a solid batting order.But they need to find depth in the bowling attack. Liam Norwell and James Fuller could both mature into fine fast bowlers, both suffered with injury last year, and left-armer David Payne has potential. Tom Smith could provide a long-sought after reliable spin option. If they can bring together a more potent attack and the batting again produces, Gloucestershire could be the unexpected side to have a dart at promotion.In one-day cricket they have no players with a fear factor but given their solid showing last season and the addition of a quarter-final phase in this season’s Royal London Cup, it would not be a surprise to find Gloucestershire in the knock-out stages. But it would be a Northamptonshire-esque turnaround if they even made it out of the group stage in the NatWest T20 Blast.

Key player

Klinger earned himself Gloucestershire’s player of the year award for 2013 and his adopted county have clearly made progress under his leadership. His runs were especially important in one-day cricket, where the rest of the batsman collectively only made one more score above fifty than he managed in the whole competition. Essential to the club’s limited-overs fortunates, Klinger could also lead a dark-horse challenge for Championship promotion.

Bright young thing

Dent and Miles are both home-grown youngsters whom Gloucestershire will hope can mature into consistent performers but wicketkeeper Roderick, born in Durban, could be the most exciting prospect in Bristol. He seized the No. 1 role with the gloves last year and showed plenty of ability with the bat in consecutive match-saving centuries. Gumption and technique demonstrated, he was given a chance up the order at the end of the season.

Captain/coach

Klinger returns to lead the side and, with his contract up at the end of the year, Gloucestershire will give serious thought on trying to extend his stay in the West Country, although a bowling overseas option could be a future route. John Bracewell is still pulling the strings behind the scene but he has lost a second highly-rated member of his backroom team with Richard Dawson becoming Yorkshire assistant coach, following bowling coach Stuart Barnes switch to Surrey the previous winter. Mark Thorburn, who played briefly at Hampshire, is the club’s new high performance analyst and bowling coach.

ESPNcricinfo verdict

Nothing extraordinary should be expected from Gloucestershire, particularly in one-day cricket, with their bowling attack the chief cause for concern. But in the Championship if their batting fires again they have potential to follow the lead of Worcestershire, Derbyshire and Northamptonshire in previous seasons for a tilt at promotion.
