Na virada do Santos sobre o Grêmio, a torcida, com mais de 12 mil presentes na Vila Belmiro, teve papel essencial neste capítulo da intensa luta contra o rebaixamento no Campeonato Brasileiro. Pirotecnia, mística e tensão foram alguns dos ingredientes que cercaram o duelo deste último domingo (20).
A importantíssima partida contra os gaúchos começou um dia antes da bola rolar. Com a presença de torcedores de torcidas organizadas do clube no CT Rei Pelé, a torcida prometeu uma grande festa, apoio incondicional e motivou os atletas a salvarem a reputação do Alvinegro Praiano “pelo Pelé”. Ao que parece, com o pacto cumprido, tudo isso surtiu efeito sobre os jogadores.

Após os torcedores arrecadarem R$ 9 mil reais para realização do “corredor de fogo”, a festa pré-jogo foi intensa e marcante, com milhares de santistas nas ruas de acesso ao estádio.
NÚMEROS DO SANTOS NA VILA BELMIRO
Se existe uma dobradinha que historicamente funciona, e por muitas vezes funcionou, é a junção entre a torcida do Peixe e o estádio da Vila Belmiro.
Apesar das estatísticas pouco animadoras do Alvinegro Praiano em casa se comparadas com outras temporadas do clube, existe um abismo entre a campanha do time dentro e fora dos seus domínios.
Jogos do Santos em casa em 2023: 23 (9 vitórias, 11 empates e 3 derrotas) = 55,07% de aproveitamento
Jogos do Santos fora de casa em 2023: 21 (4 vitórias, 3 empates e 14 derrotas) = 23,8% de aproveitamento
FOI PELÉ?
O lance que não saiu da mente e da lista de vídeos mais assistidos dos torcedores do Santos nesta semana carrega a seguinte mística: Foi Pelé que impediu a bola de sair do campo de jogo no segundo gol?
Verdade ou não, a crendice reforça toda mística e força que o time possui dentro de sua casa. Para conseguir os mágicos 45 pontos e, dessa forma, virtualmente escapar do rebaixamento, o poder da Vila Belmiro não só é importante, como também será o definidor para sabermos se o Peixe permanecerá ou não na elite do futebol nacional.

Nearly a year on, their cricket board is yet to distribute US$ 225,000 that is owed to them
Osman Samiuddin06-Jun-2025
Kashyap Prajapati had played 37 ODIs and 47 T20Is for Oman•ICC/Getty Images
This time last year Kashyap Prajapati was living the dream, playing against the likes of Australia and England at the men’s T20 World Cup in the Caribbean. The top-order batter didn’t do much of note and Oman went winless, but the tournament was a rare foray into high-profile cricket for Oman. It was Prajapati’s second T20 World Cup, having played in the 2021 edition – which Oman had co-hosted – and Oman’s third time overall.A year on, Prajapati is in the US, looking to secure a future for himself, having been forced out of Oman after an acrimonious – and still unresolved – pay dispute with Oman Cricket over prize money from that event.Prajapati is not alone. Almost the entire Oman squad from that tournament is no longer part of the set-up, and quite a few are no longer in the country, a consequence of Oman Cricket’s refusal to pay the players the US$ 225,000 prize money the ICC had set aside for teams finishing between 13th and 20th at the event.The total prize money of US$ 11.25 million for that tournament was widely trumpeted by the ICC as a record-breaking amount at the time, with the winners India receiving US$ 2.45 million. Yet, according to the World Cricketers’ Association (WCA), multiple participating boards from that tournament have yet to pay the full prize money to their players. Oman’s is the most flagrant breach, with the deepest consequences, with none of the US$ 225,000 passed on to the 15-man squad.”Our lives have been upended over this issue; we’ve lost our spot in the team, our contracts have been torn up, and we have been forced to leave the country,” Prajapati told ESPNcricinfo. “It’s just so confusing and we don’t understand why the ICC isn’t able to ensure we get paid the prize money we have earned, and why there isn’t a safe space for us to raise concerns?”Under the ICC’s terms of participation for events, to which each member signs up, all prize money must be paid to the squad, via the member boards, within 21 days of the end of the event. The ICC has confirmed that the prize money was paid to Oman Cricket, but that money has not been paid on to the players.Prajapati says Oman’s players wouldn’t have been aware of what they were due had it not been for the media attention around the record-breaking amounts on offer (he claims they never received prize money from the 2021 edition either, because they didn’t know about it).The 2024 tournament was Oman’s third appearance at the T20 World Cup•ICC via Getty Images
According to Prajapati and two other members of that squad, the players raised the issue of the prize money on several occasions after the T20 World Cup with team management and the board, to no avail. The first time was at a tri-series in Canada in September, already three months after the end of the T20 World Cup. Twelve of the 15-man World Cup squad, including Prajapati, were part of this squad, there to play against the hosts and Nepal.It was here that Oman’s players discussed the issue with players from the other two teams, who had also been at the T20 World Cup. Nepali and Canadian players told Prajapati and his team-mates they had received their shares but only after overcoming some resistance. WCA claims players from other Associate nations who played in that tournament have been paid between 20%-70% of the prize money they are due but not the full amount by their boards. Oman’s players brought up the issue with team management but were told to concentrate on playing and that the issue was being looked at.The issue was brought up again by the players, this time ahead of the T20 Emerging teams Asia Cup, which included ‘A’ sides from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh among eight teams. The tournament was played in Oman last October. This time, according to Prajapati, the team resolved to take unified action, including the threat of refusing to play, if they weren’t given assurances about the prize money and when they would receive it. This is when matters escalated.When they brought it up with a board official during practice before the tournament, he asked the squad members individually if they wanted to play. When they said not unless they received the prize money due to them, it was made clear that this could result in their expulsion from the side.Discussions continued with senior board officials that day, but eventually a group of senior players were given an ultimatum: play, or the board has another 15 players on standby to play their first game, against the UAE. The players refused and were told to pack their bags and check out of the hotel where they were staying.A glance at the scorecard of that game and the selected squad for the tournament confirms the last-minute, wholesale changes that took place: only five of the 15-man squad announced before the tournament was in the side for the first game; only four from the XI that played Oman’s previous game two weeks earlier. And only two from the XI that played against the UAE were in the T20 World Cup squad, just four months prior.A number of those players eventually had to leave Oman. As with most Gulf states, residency in the country is tied to employment visas and in this case, a number of players had their employment visas and other employment revoked, compelling them to leave the country.Fayyaz Butt: I’m not working at the moment, looking for opportunities but our playing careers are over•ICC/Getty Images
“It’s been a massive loss for my career and professionally,” Fayyaz Butt, who across five years played 30 ODIs and 47 T20Is for Oman, told ESPNcricinfo. “I had to leave Oman. I’m not working at the moment, looking for opportunities but our playing careers are over.”Although there is no player association in Oman, their plight came to light because they reached out to WCA, and that too only after players from Canada and Nepal (during the tri-series in Canada) made them aware of the option. The lack of information made available to Associate Member players by their boards has been cited by WCA as a key factor in such issues. Boards hope players don’t know they are due this money, or that they can intimidate players to prevent them from raising it, or pay them a portion of the prize money and claim that is all they are due.The ICC has been involved and has been supportive but is hamstrung by not having a mechanism through which a board can be penalised for such non-payment. The WCA recommendation that outstanding or non-payment amounts should simply be deducted from ICC member revenue distributions is unlikely to be taken up by a members-run body.One official said that Oman Cricket tried to explain the non-payment away to the ICC as a misunderstanding and that the issue isn’t that the board don’t have the intention to make the payment. ESPNcricinfo has reached out multiple times to Oman Cricket and a senior official within the board directly, but no response has been forthcoming.The ICC and WCA reached an agreement on prize money for players in 2024, covering ten major ICC events in the cycle up to 2027. The WCA say, however, that since then, all three major ICC events have had outstanding or late payment issues for players. It does acknowledge that some “minor progress” has been made by the ICC in following up on members.”In a sport that is trying to retain players in international cricket and ensure its future and relevance, it’s disappointing to see more non-payment issues, including in pinnacle ICC events held almost a year ago,” Tom Moffat, the WCA CEO, told ESPNcricinfo. “We understand ICC management have continued to chase the boards on this, but the issue reflects poorly on the whole sport and adds to the widespread issues in domestic leagues.”There are simple solutions to this problem and whilst the majority of boards do the right thing, it’s frustrating that some are still not. It’s also extremely concerning if some players are unable to raise their legitimate issues without fear of being punished for doing so.”
Wolves are in the market for firepower and have now turned their attention to a Vitor Pereira favourite that he personally wants to bring to Molineux.
Wolves aim to bounce back after the international break
Admittedly, Wolves have suffered a poor start to the campaign, albeit draws against Tottenham and Brighton in the Premier League have provided more cause for optimism in the West Midlands.
Despite being rooted to the bottom of the table, the Old Gold have shown more resolve in recent times, though they are still to find that all-important victory to kickstart their campaign in earnest.
Speaking about his side’s recent form, Hugo Bueno believes his side will eventually find three points and has encouraged his teammates to look past the disappointment of conceding a late equaliser to the Seagulls last weekend.
He stated: “It was really painful, but I try to keep with the positives of this game and I think the team showed a really good character. I think we controlled the game, we played really well, so we have to keep going like this. I’m really proud of the team but we have to look forward to the next games and to the next points and hopefully we can win that one.”
With Matt Doherty set to spend a month on the sidelines, Wolves find themselves with a lack of depth at right-back. Either way, back-to-back fixtures against Sunderland and Burnley simply have to be a launchpad for climbing the Premier League table.
Avoiding relegation will be the first port of call for the Old Gold this term before other objectives are discussed, and they could now be set to target a prolific striker to help their bid for survival.
Vitor Pereira tells Wolves to sign Yuri Alberto
According to reports in South America via Sport Witness, Wolves boss Pereira personally wants to bring Corinthians forward Yuri Alberto to Molineux as he believes the Brazil international could add another layer to his offensive options.
The tactician is also said to have asked Wolves to sign Alberto, so it is clear Pereira is very keen on bringing the attacker to the Black Country.
The 24-year-old has registered 15 goals and two assists in 45 appearances over the current Brazilian campaign and was previously the subject of a failed loan bid with an option to buy from the Old Gold back in 2024.
Wolves' most expensive signings of all time

By the same token, Alberto has also created 11 chances on league duty, per Fotmob, illustrating his capacity to lead the line efficiently as Wolves look for someone to compete with Jorgen Strand Larsen and Tolu Arokodare for a starting place.
No official proposal has been made yet. Still, the Corinthians striker is now firmly in Pereira’s thinking, and his arrival could add some much-needed goals to a side who have been the Premier League’s lowest goalscorers thus far alongside Nottingham Forest.
Nesta semana, Arturo Vidal virou grande preocupação para o Athletico-PR. Na partida entre Chile e Colômbia, pelas Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo de 2026, o volante foi substituído, aos 27 minutos do segundo tempo, com dores no joelho. Posteriormente, o departamento médico da federação confirmou uma lesão traumática aguda do menisco com bloqueio articular do joelho direito.

كشف نجم منتخب البرتغال وفريق النصر السعودي، كريستيانو رونالدو، عن الفريق الذي يتوقع تتويجه بلقب بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، الموسم الحالي 2025/26.
ويتصدر آرسنال حاليًا جدول الدوري الإنجليزي برصيد 25 نقطة، ويليه مانشستر سيتي برصيد 19 نقطة ثم ليفربول برصيد 18 نقطة.
ونُشر الجزء الأول من حوار كريستيانو رونالدو مع الإعلامي الشهير بيرس مورجان، حيث تطرق خلاله للحديث عن بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي والفائز المتوقع.
وقال رونالدو، عندما سُئل عما إذا كان ذلك العام سيكون لـ آرسنال، قال: “ربما، هذا ممكن، أعتقد أن مستوى فرق الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز متشابه للغاية، حتى الفرق الكبرى”.
وأضاف: “لا أحد يعلم ما سيحدث في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز لأنه دوري صعب للغاية، هذا ممكن لـ آرسنال، هل سينجحون؟ ربما، يمكنهم فعل ذلك، هذا ممكن دعونا نرى”.

وواصل: “ولكن مانشستر يونايتد لن يفوز بلقب الدوري الإنجليزي، بكل تأكيد، لقد لعبت هناك سنوات عديدة هناك، رؤيتهم يعانون أمر حزين”.
وحاول مورجان، مشجع آرسنال، استخلاص إجابة أكثر حسمًا من نجم مانشستر يونايتد السابق، حيث سأله:”أحتاج من هذا الرجل الكبير أن يقول لنا نعم، لنرَ ما ستقوله، نعم، سيفوز آرسنال بالدوري”، ليرد البرتغالي: “نعم، آرسنال قادر على الفوز بالدوري”.
واستكمل: “عندما أنظر إلى آرسنال، لا يبدو كخصم لي، كنت قريبًا من تحقيق ذلك، الانتقال إليهم، لن أقول إن لدي شغفًا بالنادي، ولكن عندما أنظر إليهم، أحب الفريق، أحب فوزهم بفضل تلك القصة”.
واسترسل: “لكن كما تعلمون في الحياة وكرة القدم، كل شيء يدور حول الفرص واللحظات، وهذا ما رأيته مع مانشستر يونايتد واستفدت منه، لكن لأكون صادقًا، كنت قريبًا من الانتقال إلى آرسنال، على بُعد خطوة”.
Chelsea have by no means made a perfect start to the 2025/26 season, but their dramatic victory over Liverpool before the October international break ensured they stayed within a distance of the Premier League leaders.
Eyebrows were raised when BlueCo parted with Mauricio Pochettino in 2024 and replaced him with Enzo Maresca, a ‘Pep Protege’ and newbie on the scene, albeit excelling in the Championship with Leicester City. But Maresca has taken Chelsea back into the Champions League, and he won the Conference League and Club World Cup last year.
Chelsea manager EnzoMaresca
Now, sights are set on the next level, and while the Londoners hope to hit their targets and surpass them this season, with talents such as Estevao Willian cutting their teeth at Stamford Bridge, there’s more than a little cause for optimism.
Estevao is Chelsea's new star
Sometimes, you can just tell. When Cole Palmer clicked into gear two years ago, after joining from Manchester City, you could just tell. And now, the same is true for Estevao.
Described as having the potential to be a “future Ballon d’Or winner” by analyst Ben Mattinson, the Brazil international, still only 18, has already scored and assisted in the Premier League this season, averaging 1.8 dribbles per game, as per Sofascore.
His goal against Liverpool rubber-stamped his reputation as a high-level talent, but Estevao has long been regarded as a one-of-a-kind sort of up-and-comer. To put that another way, Chelsea feel they have signed a player who will dominate across England and Europe for many years to come.
A versatile and fleet-footed winger, he joined Chelsea from Palmeiras this summer after an initial £29m deal was put in place in May 2024. Estevao is representative of an impetus on signing the finest youth prospects across the globe.
Chelsea’s prudence isn’t restricted to just teenagers, though. Potential stars are found and signed ahead of time; this is a common theme in west London.
And, with Maresca still questing for a highest-class striker, fans might get excited over the reminder that such a talent has indeed been tied to Chelsea’s future, and he’s showing shades of one Didier Drogba.
Chelsea's new version of Drogba
Drogba is one of the greatest strikers in Premier League history, and the talisman throughout the richest period of sustained success in modern times at Chelsea.
The club have been dealt a mixed bag at number nine since the Ivorian left London, but in centre-forward Emmanuel Emegha, they might just find the second coming.
The 6 foot 5 Emegha, 22, will join Chelsea from partner club Strasbourg in 2026, with the Ligue 1 side’s captain rejecting interest from other top clubs to move to Stamford Bridge.
As per FBref, the Netherlands native ranks among the top 14% of strikers across Europe for goals scored, the top 3% for pass completion and the top 14% for carries into the penalty area per 90, highlighting his natural striking ability and indeed a mobility and technical skill beyond most of his positional peers.
Emegha, in fact, has been hailed by talent scout Jacek Kulig for his “simply phenomenal” finishing, and after scoring 14 goals and providing three assists across the 2024/25 campaign, he has already notched six contributions from as many matches this year.
Given that he is sharpening his tools in the French top flight and boasts a strong and dynamic physical profile, he may well arrive at Chelsea and draw comparisons to Drogba, who left Marseille for London in 2004 for a £24m fee.

Drogba is one of Chelsea’s all-time record scorers, and his big-game mentality was an iconic thing. Across nine seasons and two stints as a Blue, the 47-year-old won the full gamut. His tenacity and consistency once led an awed Jose Mourinho to describe him as a “remarkable” footballer.
Chelsea are building for the future, alright. But there’s also a sense that this new crop of acquisitions has been made with an eye on the past formulas too. Estevao evokes that X-factor emotion that the likes of Eden Hazard and more before him provided to the club’s doting fanbase.
With a towering and commanding talisman like Emegha in the centre, and Estevao running riot across the flanks, there’s no telling how dangerous Chelsea’s frontline will look in a few years time.
The likes of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, who is nursing a muscular injury, both joined Maresca’s side this summer, and the former in particular looks a real threat.
But strength in depth has always been Chelsea’s way, and Emegha has the completeness of style in the final third to make a real difference in the fight for prizes in the Premier League and Champions League.
A pacy runner who has not quite mastered the aerial game that his long frame should enable him to flourish within, Emegha remains a work in progress. Last season in Ligue 1, for example, his 14-goal haul was also met with 25 missed big chances, emphasising the work still to be done in front of goal.
Emmanuel Emegha for Strasbourg
Alongside Estevao, though, he would surely find his shooting boots and maintain a fearsome presence in front of goal. After all, alongside his electric pace, the youngster also ranks among the top 8% of positional peers for shot-creating actions per 90 (FBref).
The jury will remain out until Emegha gets going in the Premier League; many a talented prospect has fallen by the wayside when arriving in England.
But there’s such quality there, and Emegha’s physical robustness and quality on the ball suggest he might just have the skills to replace the legendary Drogba and lead Chelsea to illustrious success.

Trio of middle order fifties see hosts recover from 46 for 3, with Tom Banton unbeaten on 57

Tom Abell and James Rew rebuilt for Somerset•Getty Images
Somerset 275 for 6 (Abell 64, Rew 58, Abbas 2-45) vs NottinghamshireHalf-centuries from James Rew, Tom Abell and Tom Banton dug Somerset out of trouble on a compelling first day of the Rothesay County Championship match with Division One leaders Nottinghamshire at the Cooper Associates Ground, Taunton.A crowd of just under 3,000 saw the home side slip to 46 for three after winning the toss before Rew (58), Abell (64) and Banton (57 not out) guided them to 275 for 6 at the close. There were two wickets each for Mohammad Abbas and Brett Hutton.All the Notts bowlers displayed commendable accuracy to ensure their opponents could never cut loose and the pitch offered them just enough assistance to ensure an absorbing contest between bat and ball.Somerset opted for a new opening partnership of Sean Dickson and Tom Kohler-Cadmore, but were soon in trouble as, with only ten runs on the board, Dickson fell lbw to Hutton for a duck, advancing down the pitch.Soon it was 22 for 2 as Tom Lammonby, on two, played forward and edged a catch to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan to give Hutton a second wicket. Kohler-Cadmore had begun positively and hit five fours in scoring 31 off 55 balls before getting a good delivery from Mohammad Abbas that left him off the pitch, forcing an edge that was again snapped up by Kishan.At 46 for three in the 15th over, Somerset were in hole. But there was no great movement in the air or off the pitch for the seamers and Patterson-White’s left-arm spin was soon introduced from the River End as Rew and Abell went about rebuilding the innings.By lunch they had taken the total to 100 for 3 from 31 overs, Rew looking the more fluent in moving to 41, while Abell had battled for his 17. The afternoon session saw Rew move to a half-century off 86 balls, including 8 fours, making good use of the sweep against the spinners.Abell had gradually found his timing and placement, but when the stand had progressed to 99 from 34.4 overs, Rew straight drove a delivery from seamer Lyndon James, who stooped to take a sharp return catch.It looked an important breakthrough for the visitors, although Abell was looking an increasing threat as he moved to fifty off 126 balls, with five fours. Banton, struggling for form since a triple century in the opening game of the season against Worcestershire, was given a life on two when Patterson-White spilled a relatively straightforward chance at first slip off James.Patterson-White quickly atoned by taking the valuable wicket of Abell, who spared the umpire a decision by turning to walk off after feathering a catch to Kishan down the leg side. At 179 for 5, Somerset were back under pressure and just six runs had been added when tea was taken.Notts had bowled well all day, giving little away, and that continued in the final session, which saw Banton and Archie Vaughan made to fight for every run on the normally fast-scoring ground. Both displayed exemplary concentration and careful shot selection to put together a half-century stand from 83 balls.Despite a short boundary on the town side of the ground, the scoring rate was only fractionally above three an over when the second new ball became available at 243 for 5. The impressive Abbas struck with it in the 83rd over, as Vaughan, on 35, aimed a back-foot forcing shot and was caught at a wide third slip by Jack Haynes.Banton, who loves nothing more than dominating a bowling attack, showed the required degree of restraint to reach fifty off 103 balls, having hit five fours. Kasey Aldridge, recalled to the Somerset team, proved an equally determined partner in taking Somerset through to the close, scoring just four off 34 balls.

+ Econômico no Brasileiro, Palmeiras conta com melhor ataque da Libertadores para bater o Boca
Em 2023, o Alviverde protagonizou a melhor campanha da primeira fase da Libertadores pela quinta vez nos últimos seis anos. Nas oitavas, bateu o Atlético-MG, tornando-se o primeiro clube do continente a eliminar um mesmo adversário em três edições seguidas. E nas quartas, despachou o estreante Deportivo Pereira-COL. Além disso, os comandados de Abel ostentam o melhor ataque da edição atual, com 21 gols.
