Australia are privately fuming but biting hard on their tongues and declining to express any public anger over the reprieve of Stuart Broad

Daniel Brettig and George Dobell at Trent Bridge12-Jul-2013Australia are privately fuming but biting hard on their tongues and declining to express any public anger over the reprieve of Stuart Broad after the umpire Aleem Dar failed to detect a thick edge to slip from the bowling of Ashton Agar.In the second major umpiring controversy in successive days at Trent Bridge, England were only 232 ahead when Broad stood his ground. Australia’s players reacted with considerable dismay at the decision, which they could not refer to the third umpire after using up their DRS allocation earlier in the day.Broad was still in occupation alongside Ian Bell at the close, by which time the hosts’ lead had reached 261. While the players’ immediate response on the field was plain, and the coach Darren Lehmann made his displeasure plain on the dressing room balcony, the fast bowler Peter Siddle did his best to avoid critiques of Broad, the umpires or the current protocols for the use of technology, saying only that he had only seen a bigger edge not given out “in the backyard maybe off my brother”.”How many people have ever walked? Some. That’s right, some,” Siddle said. “At the end of day it’s the umpires’ decision. The umpires make the decision and players stick with it. We just went about it. You finish the over and go through to the next over. If you watched out there, there wasn’t a big deal made of it. We got stuck in and just kept working to get the wicket.’I don’t see bowlers asking you back’

“The review system was brought in to get rid of the howler, I don’t see why umpire Dar couldn’t have had someone is his ear saying you’ve got that one wrong let’s just overturn that quickly. This has been a terrific game but I think a lot will be talked about that incident, which is sad.” – Michael Vaughan

“DRS was brought in to correct obviously wrong decisions and that is how captains should use it. Alastair Cook does just that, he is very sparing with it, and hopefully Michael Clarke does the same after this. To me, it has to be the umpire [fault]. A player is allowed to stand his ground. If Australia had one appeal left, Broad would have walked. The fact there was no referral left, he left it up to the umpire.” – Glenn McGrath

“The rules say that it’s ‘in the opinion of the umpire’ so it’s above things like ‘The Spirit of the Game’. I don’t see bowlers asking you back when the ball is sliding down leg. There is no debate, it’s quite simple. The Australians I have played with and have watched, with the exception of Adam Gilchrist, believe in standing and it’s up to the umpire to give you out – there shouldn’t be a morale argument. They should be upset, disappointed and angered by the umpires. If they keep making poor decisions, it’s up to the ICC to do something about it.” – Geoff Boycott

“He (Dar) always gets the crucial decisions wrong & always has, that’s why he’s not a great umpire! We all make mistakes & it’s a very tough job being an umpire, but when Dar continually makes crucial mistakes why does he keep getting a gig?” – Shane Warne on Twitter

“Obviously people are going to be frustrated but it’s hard out there for players, for umpires. It’s a long day, it’s a tough day for people out there. Things are going to happen and we just have to deal with it. That’s just a part of the game and spectators have to understand that – that there are times when things like that happen. Obviously it’s a long day and it’s hard for everyone involved. We can’t be blaming anyone.”Siddle’s acceptance of Broad’s failure to walk – common practice in professional cricket for a generation and more – was in contrast to howls of outrage on social media sites and from media commentators, many of who judged Broad’s behaviour as immoral and unsporting.Michael Holding, the former West Indian fast bowler, contended that Broad’s behaviour was comparable to that of the West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin, who falsely claimed a catch against Pakistan in a Champions Trophy match at The Oval in London last month. Ramdin was banned for two one-day games by the ICC match referee, who happened to be Broad’s father, Chris.”What Stuart Broad did amounts to the same thing as Ramdin,” Holding told Sky TV. “He knew he had hit the ball. The ICC fined Ramdin and suspended him for ‘actions that were contrary to the spirit of the game’. What Stuart Broad did is contrary to the spirit of the game. He played the ball and stayed there.”The day after England sought clarification from the ICC following a Hot Spot operator error that contributed to Jonathan Trott’s lbw dismissal, Dar’s howler was not referred to technology that would have picked up the mistake because Australia no longer had any recourse to do so. Umpires do have the right to refer some decisions themselves if in doubt, but for now are limited to low catches and bump balls. Dar’s refusal of Australia’s appeal was as unequivocal as it was mistaken”You can’t do anything about that,” Siddle said of the burned referrals. “You use them because you think you’re going to get a result early on and you don’t. You can’t just hold them and put them in the back pocket and say ‘I’m going to get one in the afternoon’ and save it for that. You use them when you think there’s a chance of getting a wicket and that’s what they’re there for.”For their part, England stood by the view that Broad was well within his rights to stand and wait for Dar’s decision. It is debatable whether he would have done so had Australia still been able to use a video referral, but his team-mate Kevin Pietersen did not think Broad should have taken any other action in the circumstances.”Each and every player who plays for their country, their club side, for their franchise or their county has the opportunity to wait for the decision the umpire makes and you respect the umpire’s decision,” Pietersen said. “We play hard. We play fair and each individual has the responsibility and makes the judgement if he will wait for the umpire’s decision. Aleem Dar is a fantastic umpire and he has been rated one of the best umpires in world cricket over the last few years. Wait and respect his decision.”Contrary to reports, no apology has been forthcoming from the ICC to the ECB regarding the Trott decision on the second day.

Kolkata Knight Riders dominated possession for about 80% of the match, but conceded goals in the last few minutes of either half

The Bulletin by Sidharth Monga16-Apr-2013Kings XI Punjab 157 for 9 (Gony 42, Mandeep 41, Kallis 3-24, Narine 3-33, Senanayake 2-28) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 153 for 9 (Gambhir 60, Morgan 47, Mahmood 3-21, Praveen 2-26) by 4 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsManpreet Gony: pirate of the Punjab•BCCIKolkata Knight Riders dominated possession for about 80% of the match, but conceded goals in the last few minutes of either half. Playing his first match of this IPL, Manpreet Gony won Kings XI Punjab this game out of nowhere. The hosts were dead and buried reeling under a Sunil Narine hat-trick when Gony walked out to bat, but his 18-ball 42 gave Kings XI a target to bowl to. Still, Gautam Gambhir and Eoin Morgan were cruising home when Gony came back for his second spell, but those three overs for six runs – two of them wides – and the wicket of Gambhir caused enough panic for Knight Riders to crumble.Forget the unfathomable – in Twenty20 – spin of Sunil Narine and Sachithra Senanayake, which got Knight Riders the four big wickets of Kings XI’s overseas batsmen for just 13 runs off 15 balls, it was the Indian domestic batsmen’s ineptitude against the bouncer that proved to be the decider. Kings XI lost four of their batsmen to balls pitched short, but crucially, Knight Riders’ Manoj Tiwary and Yusuf Pathan were deers in headlights when confronted with accurate bouncers.When Tiwary came out to bat at the fall of Gambhir for a third straight half-century, Knight Riders needed only 52 off 41 with seven wickets in hand. Gony bounced him again and again, and it got uglier and uglier for Tiwary as he faced seven balls for one run, slogged at more than half of them, and left Knight Riders stuck. Yusuf wasn’t much better, except that he lasted longer, and managed a top edge over the keeper in his 13 off 16.The crucial difference between the two innings was that Mandeep Singh and Manan Vohra of Kings XI had scored some runs – Mandeep managed a crucial 41 – before they were bounced. And when bounced, they didn’t waste balls, and got out. Tiwary and Yusuf couldn’t get out, and suddenly Knight Riders needed 30 off the last two overs. The problem for Kings XI was that they had run out of the overs from Azhar Mahmood, who took three wickets including that of Jacques Kallis and Morgan.Kings XI had to bowl Parvinder Awana, and they did so in the 19th over. His Delhi team-mate, Rajat Bhatia, got stuck into him, and his two sixes brought it down to 11 off seven. Awana, though, had his own back as he beat Bhatia on the pull and bowled him top of middle and leg before signing off.The canny Praveen Kumar had to bowl the crucial last over, and he nearly lost it with a huge wide down the leg side. Adam Gilchrist might be having a horror tournament with the bat, but dived full length to his left to save four runs. The game kept alive, Praveen bowled a superb final over, making sure that he was about a foot behind the front line for every ball. Whoever says he is not mentally fit for cricket is way off the mark.

The two-time World Cup winner played three Tests, 25 ODIs and seven T20Is for India, and picked 192 wickets in the IPL

ESPNcricinfo staff06-Jun-2025Piyush Chawla, the former India legspinner, has called time on a professional career that spanned over two decades. Chawla, 36, played three Tests, 25 ODIs and seven T20Is, with his last appearance for India coming back in 2012 at the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka.The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2024-25 was Chawla’s final appearance in domestic cricket, a tournament he had committed to play in the hope of featuring in IPL 2025. He went unsold at the mega auction in November and was subsequently part of ESPNcricinfo’s programming during the tournament.Chawla featured in 192 IPL matches, and had stints with four franchises – Punjab Kings (PBKS), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI). He picked up 192 wickets, with the highlight being the 2014 season, where he famously hit the winning runs to bring KKR their second IPL title in three seasons. Chawla’s last IPL appearance came in 2024, when he was part of MI. He finishes as the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the IPL.Chawla came into the limelight as a 16-year-old when he bowled Sachin Tendulkar with a googly in the 2005 Challenger Trophy. In 2006, he earned a Test debut against England in Mohali, soon after being a part of India’s Under-19 World Cup squad, which also featured the likes of Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja.His career hit the high notes between 2007 and 2011, when he was part of India’s T20 World Cup winning squad, the ODI squad that recorded a tri-series win in Australia in 2008, as well as India’s ODI World Cup winning squad in 2011.Chawla represented Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat in domestic cricket, picking up 446 first-class wickets in 137 matches. In a parting note on Instagram, Chawla thanked his coaches KK Gautam and late Pankaj Saraswat, among others.”From representing India at the highest level to being part of the victorious 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup squads, every moment in this incredible journey has been nothing short of a blessing. These memories will forever remain etched in my heart,” Chawla wrote. “Though I step away from the crease, cricket will always live with me, I now look forward to embarking on a new journey, carrying the lessons and spirit of this beautiful game.”

The left-arm fast bowler became the first Indian to take a four-wicket haul on IPL debut

Alagappan Muthu31-Mar-20253:07

Does Rohit have a technique issue?

Ashwani Kumar became the first Indian bowler, and sixth overall, to pick up four or more wickets on IPL debut and on the back of his performance Mumbai Indians wrapped up Kolkata Knight Riders for 116 in their first home game of IPL 2025.The 23-year-old left-arm seamer from Punjab tripled his career tally of wickets – from two to six – over the course of one evening. He dismissed the KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane with his first ball. He took down Rinku Singh and Andre Russell. This league does not present many higher quality of wickets.The most impressive thing about Kumar was how hard he was to line up. He had an orthodox bowling action. His speeds were largely in the early to mid 130kph range. Those are the kind of bowlers that get smashed around in the IPL. But try as they might, KKR were never able to do it. Kumar came to prominence because of his performances in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 trophy last year where he displayed an affinity for the death overs. He didn’t really bowl in that phase of the innings against KKR but he did show why he could find success in high-pressure situations. It was his control of length.Rinku tried to take him down, but one ball after coming down the track and hitting him for four, he was caught on the deep-point boundary. Kumar pulled his length back to surprise the batter. Russell tried to take him down, but one ball after clearing his front leg and smacking him through the line, he was beaten by a bouncer and then knocked over by a 140kph good length delivery that surprised the batter again.Mumbai are almost surely looking at their first win of IPL 2025 after losing their first two games. KKR, meanwhile, were left wondering what had gone wrong. They were put in to bat and they seemed very conscious of putting up a par-plus total, their batters going on the attack even though they lost Sunil Narine and Quinton de Kock in the first two overs. Angkrish Raghuvanshi looked good for his 26 off 16 but he fell immediately after the powerplay. That left KKR five down and forced them to bring in Manish Pandey as an Impact Player, which meant they will be going into the bowling innings short of options. The move didn’t work with Pandey falling for 19 off 14.

His exit is another blow to Sunrisers, who are placed bottom of the table with only one win this season in eight games

ESPNcricinfo staff23-Sep-2021Sherfane Rutherford has left the IPL bubble to return home after the death of this father, Sunrisers Hyderabad announced on Thursday. The 23-year-old Rutherford had just arrived at Sunrisers as a replacement for Jonny Bairstow, who pulled out due to bubble fatigue.”The SRH family conveys its heartfelt condolences to Sherfane Rutherford and his family on the passing away of his father. Sherfane will be leaving the IPL bio-bubble to be with his family in this difficult hour,” the franchise tweeted.Related

Rutherford last played in the IPL for Delhi Capitals in 2019, making 73 runs in seven innings. His most recent T20 cricket came in the Caribbean Premier League earlier this month for the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, as they went on to win the title. He did, however, miss out on selection in the West Indies team for the upcoming T20 World Cup.Rutherford’s exit is another blow to Sunrisers, who are placed bottom of the table with only one win this season in eight games. His exit also makes it three Sunrisers players who will be unavailable for them in the immediate future after T Natarajan tested positive for Covid-19 on Wednesday, and Vijay Shankar was forced to isolate after being recognised as one of his close contacts.Sunrisers move from Dubai to Sharjah for their next game, against Punjab Kings who are placed above them with a four-point cushion. The franchise is yet to make an announcement on whether they will be seeking a replacement for Rutherford.

Yorkshire could look back on a highly satisfying season after their final game ended in a 239-run win over Essex

George Dobell at Chelmsford 14-Sep-2012
ScorecardSteven Patterson wrapped up the Essex innings to finish Yorkshire’s season in triumphant fashion•Getty ImagesThey may not have been promoted as Division Two champions, but Yorkshire could look back on a highly satisfying season after their final game ended in a 239-run win over Essex.It was not just that they had won promotion that was pleasing. It was that in this side they have the nucleus of a team that could flourish in the county game for a decade or more. After letting themselves down with a poor campaign in 2011, Yorkshire overcame the challenge of bad weather – no team lost more overs to poor weather this season – England and Lions call-ups and the pressure of expectation to win promotion with some style. They finished the season the only undefeated side in either division and having won three Championship games in succession for the first time since 2005. Few would dispute they deserve their success.Fittingly, it was the bowling of a 21-year-old who hurried them to victory on the last day. Azeem Rafiq, gaining impressive turn with his offspin and utilising the breeze with rare skill, finished with his maiden five-wicket haul and his best match figures in first-class cricket. Suffice it to say he has a golden future.He is not the only one. Jonny Bairstow has already been elevated to the England set-up and Joe Root may not be far behind him. Adam Lyth could yet prove to be the best of the lot of them, while 20-year-old seamer Moin Ashraf was described by Essex captain, James Foster, as “exceptional”. Around such men will the future of Yorkshire be built, with the club also confirming they are keen to bring James Harris to Leeds and that Anthony McGrath will be offered another playing contract.It was a far cry from the emotions of 12 months ago. After last season’s relegation, Yorkshire’s executive chairman, Colin Graves, called performances “unacceptable” and “a disgrace” and warned that “there will be some heads rolling” if the club’s fortunes did not improve.He put his money where his mouth is, too. Graves has invested £7m of his own money into Yorkshire as well as personally guaranteeing bank loans. He reorganised the coaching staff, allowing Martyn Moxon to concentrate on his role as director of cricket and bringing in Jason Gillespie as first-team coach and Paul Farbrace to oversee the second team.”At the end of last season I said what a lot of people were thinking,” Graves said, as Yorkshire began to celebrate their success. “But it had to be said. If it gave them a spur then I’m glad because this just proves that we had the ability to do what we’ve done. The players have responded and I’m pleased for them.”The disappointing thing is that we have virtually the same group of players, apart from Phil Jaques coming in. And they’ve all performed. Last year some of them just didn’t perform, which is what I said. Gillespie has made a very big difference. The coaching structure now is entirely different and it has worked. Andrew Gale has had a fantastic year, too, and captained them very well. He’s brought the younger ones through as well, like Rafiq and Ashraf who have been a revelation.”We believe with the squad we’ve got here we have the makings of a good team for the next ten to 15 years. We’ve proved in the last three matches what we can do and if we can carry that back into the first division we can have another team of the 60s. I think we can challenge for the Championship next year. If you look back two years we ended third in the Championship with virtually the same team. So why can’t we do the same next year?”We’ll end up with a profit of £250,000 – £300,000 this year. I’ve never cut the cricket budget and the money is there if the right player comes along. Everybody in county cricket would tell you that they could do with another seamer. One or two new good seamers would make a difference. James Harris is a name that is mentioned with everybody, but let’s see what happens. I certainly don’t want McGrath to leave and I’ve told him there’s always something there for him at Yorkshire.”For Essex, however, this was a disappointing end to a disappointing season. Indeed, any year that starts with a former player being sent to prison and ends with a fifth-placed finish in Division Two might be described as grim.It is a puzzling club. In terms of talent production, Essex have a wonderful record. The likes of Reece Topley, Tymal Mills, Adam Wheater and Ben Foakes all possess the talent to follow Alastair Cook and Ravi Bopara into the England team. Any club with a production line like that is clearly doing something right.The fact is, however, that few of their players are fulfilling their potential for Essex. For some reason, the likes of Varun Chopra, Chris Wright, Stephen Peters, and Tony Palladino all had to leave the club to flourish. Tellingly, Wright – who finished with 62 Championship wickets for County Champions Warwickshire – was left out for Lonwabo Tsotsobe last year and replaced by Charl Willoughby this. The club needs to ask itself why it has failed to coax the best out of such players and what is failing in the management or coaching environment.There is something just a little bit cosy about Essex, something that seems a little too accepting, so it remains to be seen if the hard questions will be asked. But there is little evidence that a search for quick-fixes in the form of overseas players or expensive imports from other counties – the likes of Greg Smith or Owais Shah – is the answer.

Seis jogos e menos de um mês de trabalho foram suficientes para Jair Ventura colher resultados positivos no Corinthians. O principal foi superar o Flamengo e levar o Timão à final da Copa do Brasil. O bom início rende elogios de destaque ao comandante. O goleiro Cássio, por exemplo, disse que Jair resgatou o estilo que fez o clube vencedor nos últimos anos.

Diante disso, a reportagem do LANCE! levantou pontos que tornaram animador e satisfatório do ponto de visto de resultados o início de trabalho de Jair. O técnico foi anunciado no dia 6 de setembro para substituir Osmar Loss, que voltou ao cargo de auxiliar. Desde então, perdeu para o Palmeiras (1 a 0), empatou com o Flamengo (0 a 0), venceu o Sport (2 a 1), o Flamengo (2 a 1), empatou com o Internacional (1 a 1) e o América-MG (0 a 0). Confira os pontos:

Um bom time começa pela defesa
Essa é uma marca de Jair Ventura e vem sendo do Corinthians nos últimos anos, em que o clube enfileirou melhores defesas nos campeonatos. Assim, logo que chegou, Jair percebeu que havia problemas defensivos e optou por “fechar a casinha”. No jogo de ida da semifinal da Copa do Brasil contra o Flamengo no Maracanã, montou retranca com linha de cinco no meio, sem atacante de referência, três volantes marcadores. Voltou com um 0 a 0. No discurso dos jogadores é possível perceber essa alteração de foco, em contraste ao estilo mais propositivo de Loss. São três jogos sem sofrer gols e nenhum com mais de um gol por jogo.

O resgaste dos soldados
A confiança do grupo estava abalada quando Jair chegou, especialmente de alguns jogadores como o zagueiro Léo Santos, o lateral Danilo Avelar e o volante Douglas. O técnico adotou posição de conversar muito com os atletas para tentar “esvaziar a mochila” e optou por dar sequência aos contestados. Léo Santos jogou todos os minutos, Avelar foi poupado do último jogo apenas e Douglas, mesmo estando suspenso para o jogo de ida da final da Copa do Brasil, deve voltar ao time contra o Flamengo nesta sexta. Resultado: Léo Santos se firmou, Avelar marcou dois gols e Douglas, um.

Fator Jadson
O camisa 10 é um diferencial no início de trabalho de Jair Ventura. Tem sido decisivo como líder técnico do time. Marcou um gol contra o Sport e deu assistência para Avelar abrir o placar na vitória sobre o Flamengo que levou o time à final da Copa do Brasil. Nesse ponto, uma mudança importante do treinador. Com Jair, Jadson passou a atuar sem obrigação de marcação, mais adiantado, uma espécie de falso 9. Aos 34 anos, fôlego para armar o time.

O resultado, afinal
​Muito da aprovação do início de trabalho de Jair passa, inevitavelmente, pela classificação na Copa do Brasil. A vitória sobre o Flamengo em casa, com o apoio da Fiel, foi fundamental para a análise interna ser positiva. A diretoria está satisfeita com a mudança, convicta de que acertou ao trazer o treinador. Acreditam que, sem ele, dificilmente o time teria reagido para bater o clube carioca. O desafio agora é mostrar força para vencer o Cruzeiro e terminar o ano com taça.

Sri Lanka Women held their nerves to beat West Indies Women by one wicket with two balls to spare. With the win, Sri Lanka have squared the three match ODI series, with a match remaining

Sri Lanka Women held their nerves to beat West Indies Women by one wicket with two balls to spare. With the win, Sri Lanka have squared the three match ODI series, with a match remaining. Chamani Seneviratna was the star of the match with a quick 36 during the chase, following her two wickets during West Indies’ innings.The chase was held together by Yasoda Mendis’ gritty half-century – she was part of partnerships of 33 for the second wicket, 39 for the third wicket and 32 for the fourth. But with ten runs required with two wickets remaining, it was left up to Seneviratna to make sure that she finished the game.West Indies had set a good foundation for their middle order as opener Juliana Nero, who scored 45, led the team to 67 for 1. But Sri Lanka’s bowlers picked up regular wickets to reduce West Indies to 114 for 5. A half-century by Shemaine Campbelle and her 61-run partnership with Merissa Aguilleira lifted West Indies to 197.

Apresentado oficialmente, nesta quarta-feira, o técnico Guto Ferreira chegou à Chapecoense para conseguir reconquistar as vitórias no Campeonato Brasileiro. O novo comandante ressaltou que a primeira ação é recuperar a confiança do time para avançar na competição nacional.

-No primeiro momento é detectar o que está acontecendo, depois recuperar o nível de confiança. Impor nossa metodologia, achar a maneira que esse grupo se sente melhor jogando futebol, porque é assim que eles terão confiança para fazer o melhor pela Chape. E que possamos conseguir o quanto antes, corremos contra o tempo. Temos que acelerar procedimentos, mas nem senpre é possível, então essa paciência do torcedor e mais do que isso, a força, o pensamento positivo, vai trazer a energia, o ambiente. Isso tudo plantado dará os frutos que a gente espera – disse.

Guto Ferreira comentou sobre sua duração de contrato. Além disso, falou da sua saída para o Bahia em 2016, quando rompeu contrato com o Verdão do Oeste.

-Tenho contrato de um ano, com multa rescisória. A gente vai aprendendo coisas, no andamento da vida, que nem sempre o dinheiro é o mais importante. Eu não saí pelo dinheiro, saí pelo desafio e tinha uma relação e um contrato que me permitiam. Agora eu volto com outro tipo de conceito e desafio na minha cabeça. Vim para fazer esse ano e se possível completar o outro ano, para impactar o mercado junto com a Chapecoense. E aí quem sabe, vai depender do que produzirmos nesse um ano, um ano e meio. No Bahia, nas duas passagens, fizemos um trabalho legal, mas tivemos situações não tão agradáveis. Nem sempre as pessoas entendem os passos que você dá e isso te amadurece como pessoa – disse.

O comandante também comentou sobre o grupo formado nesta temporada, e espera fazer uma rápida análise do time para retomar a vencer no Campeonato Brasileiro.

– Temos um tempo remoto de fazer uma avaliação rápida do plantel, temos um tempo limite de registro de novos jogadores, acho que início de setembro. Mas uma coisa é olhar, você olha quem está jogando. E eu passei por muitos clubes e assumiram a titularidade jogadores que não vinham jogando e foram destaques. Na Ponte, o Cleber, hoje zagueiro do Paraná, não jogava, foi bem, depois foi vendido. Aqui recuperamos o Maranhão, que não vinha jogando. Cada treinador tem um estilo, uma metodologia, às vezes o jogador não funciona com A, mas funciona com B. Que a gente possa fazer essa análise de maneira rápida para aproveitar a data limite – concluiu.

OUTROS TRECHOS:

TIME…
Em relação à equipe, nosso objetivo é ganhar a melhor condição possível, uma mudança traz a injeção de ânimo, e vamos trabalhar para ter uma equipe organizada, coesa. Que a gente brigue para conquistar essa vitória, temos consciência que nem sempre será possível, mas sempre daremos o máximo e às vezes até um pouco mais.

O QUE FEZ RETORNAR?
Não tem algo que mais pesou. Primeiro foi um grande carinho pela instituição. O que vivemos um ano aqui, no clube e na cidade, por parte do torcedor, foi um momento muito bom. E um convite da Chapecoense acabou me pegando dois meses parado, sendo que tive proposta que eu recebi e não fui. Por tudo que a gente viveu aqui, essa proposta mexe. Sem querer criar algum tipo de lobby, de fazer uso, mas temos que honrar os caras que se foram. E se a Chapecoense me chamou para retornar, é uma chamada para honrar e mexeu comigo nesse aspecto.

Deyverson explicou após a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Vasco, neste domingo, porque comemorou o seu gol juntando as mãos e se ajoelhando diante da torcida do Palmeiras no Allianz Parque.

– Pedi perdão ao torcedor, pedi desculpas pelo meu momento. Hoje voltei a fazer gol e estou feliz por isso – disse o camisa 16, em entrevista ao Premiere.

O atacante do Palmeiras chegou a chorar ao falar sobre o mau momento que vinha vivendo.

-Fico meio sem palavras. Passei por momentos difíceis aqui, sei que poderia dar mais. Meus companheiros me apoiaram sempre e estou muito feliz. Recebi muitas críticas, isso é normal, o torcedor é apaixonado. Mas nunca deixei de trabalhar. No Dia dos Pais, agradeço ao pai dos pais, que é Deus, meu pai, minha mãe, minha esposa. Estou feliz e emocionado – disse, com lágrimas nos olhos.

Este foi o primeiro gol de Deyverson em partidas oficiais na temporada. Ele disputou 18 partidas em 2018, mas apenas três como titular. Além disso, participou de três amistosos durante a parada da Copa, com um gol. Ao todo, o atacante de 27 anos soma nove gols em 41 partidas pelo clube:

-Perdoar, só Deus perdoa, mas espero que eles (torcedores) me perdoem.
