Negociação entre Puma e São Paulo pode gerar polêmica com o Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

Com uma relação cada vez mais desgastada com a Adidas, a sua atual fornecedora de material esportivo, o São Paulo já começa o trabalho de bastidores para arrumar uma substituta. O LANCE! apurou que o clube do Morumbi já tem em mãos ofertas de empresas dispostas a vesti-lo em 2024, quando o contrato com a multinacional alemã acaba. E uma delas promete gerar polêmica no futebol brasileiro.

A Puma iniciou o processo de aproximação com o Tricolor, o que seria uma negociação normal para ambas as partes se não fosse um pequeno detalhe: a também multinacional alemã tem desde 2019 contrato de exclusividade em território brasileiro com o rival Palmeiras. E o acordo vai até o final de 2024.

O L! levantou que existe o mesmo tipo de acordo de exclusividade entre Umbro e Santos (no caso, o contrato prevê exclusividade da marca para o Peixe entre os grandes paulistas), o que fez com que a empresa inglesa, que chegou a fazer uma consulta ao São Paulo – sem boa reação na Vila Belmiro -, desistisse de seguir com as tratativas.

Mas o que muda com a Puma? A empresa tem rivalidade acirrada com a Adidas. E, se tratando de futebol, a situação piorou consideravelmente nos últimos anos, incluindo a própria ‘aquisição’ do time alviverde, substituindo justamente a empresa das três listras.

Nesse ponto, ‘roubar’ mais um clube brasileiro de expressão, que era servido pela principal concorrente, seria mais um ‘golpe’ da Puma e uma oportunidade de crescimento frente à rival.

CONTRATO COM EMPRESA TERCEIRA AJUDARIA

Por mais que Puma e São Paulo tenham flertado, ambos procuraram e encontraram uma saída para poderem assinar um acordo: o uso de uma empresa terceirizada. Há essa brecha no contrato do Palmeiras com a empresa.

O próprio Tricolor conhece bem o funcionamento desse tipo de acordo. Passou por isso em 2016, quando quase dois anos após assinar com a Under Armour, também com cláusula de exclusividade no território nacional, viu a empresa aparecer em outros clubes, como o Fluminense.

Explicando: o São Paulo assinaria contrato com uma empresa. E esta compraria os uniformes da Puma para atender o Tricolor.

É como a Nike, por exemplo, fez com o Santos, Coritiba e Bahia em um passado recente. O acordo desses clubes, na verdade, era com uma loja virtual de artigos esportivos e não com a multinacional estadunidense, exclusiva em São Paulo para o Corinthians.

CHIADOS NO LADO VERDE, REVOLTA NO LADO TRICOLOR

Conforme o L! revelou, Palmeiras e Puma passaram momentos de desacordo no decorrer do último ano: há reclamações do clube quanto à distribuição dos produtos e o preço praticado pela empresa no mercado. A situação, contudo, melhorou entre as partes. Nada parecido com o que se passa entre São Paulo e Adidas.

Ainda em dezembro, o capítulo de desacordos entre as partes ganhou mais um capítulo, com os uniformes do clube usados na pré-temporada ainda exibindo a marca da Roku, fabricante de players de mídia on-line, cujo acordo venceu há três meses e não foi renovado. A situação só deve mudar no fim de janeiro, quando, enfim, o clube deverá lançar parte da sua nova coleção.

Não é o primeiro atrito entre o clube do Morumbi e a multinacional alemã. Também em setembro, o clube se viu refém da marca esportiva e taxou como ‘descaso’ o fato da terceira camisa são-paulina, que faz alusão ao agasalho usado pelo elenco campeão mundial de 1992, ter sumido das lojas após esgotado o primeiro lote.

Lançada em agosto, a peça esgotou em um fim de semana. E a reposição do lote de 3 mil unidades, prometida pelo Tricolor à torcida na ocasião em até 15 dias, demorou quase dois meses. Depois de arrecadar quase R$ 1 milhão no fim de semana de lançamento da camisa, a previsão do marketing são-paulino é que o clube deixou de arrecadar mais R$ 6 milhões com a peça por causa das listas de espera de clientes feitas por lojas.

Desde o ano passado, o clube reclama de não ter tratamento semelhante a de rivais também servidos pela marca, como Flamengo, Atlético-MG e Internacional. As queixas giram em torno dos valores pagos e material disponibilizado à venda, com a ausência de camisas e agasalhos na mesma variedade.

No início de 2022, a rescisão chegou a ser estudada pelo jurídico tricolor, mas os valores da multa impediram o avanço do planejamento. O contrato entre as partes vai até o fim do ano que vem. A desavença é tamanha que o técnico Rogério Ceni entrou no ‘fogo cruzado’ ao usar roupas da Under Armour, antiga fornecedora são-paulina, no jogo contra o Juventude, em abril, pela Copa do Brasil.

Hull three-for, Budinger onslaught see Leicestershire past Yorkshire

Leicestershire Foxes launched their Vitality Blast season in spectacular style with a thumping seven-wicket win over Yorkshire Vikings at the Uptonsteel County Ground in Leicester.Vikings had themselves started the season strongly with an eight-wicket win over Worcestershire Rapids the previous evening but were brought crashing back to earth in the East Midlands. They totalled a below-par 151 for 7, captain Shan Masood’s 45 off 32 balls standing out amid a bitty team effort which was heavily damaged by Josh Hull’s fiery 3 for 28.The moderate target soon appeared minuscule after Foxes openers Sol Budinger (50 off 22) and Rishi Patel (30 off 18) smashed six sixes and six fours in the first five overs. Their stand of 79 in 36 balls turned the chase into a cruise as Foxes galloped to 155 for 3 from 14.1 overs.After Foxes chose to bowl, Hull deployed his size 15s to excellent effect in a first over which cost just one run and brought the wicket of Dawid Malan, whose off stump was trimmed by a lovely ball. Ian Holland’s opening over also went for just a single in a sedate start by Vikings.Former Yorkshire allrounder Ben Mike struck first ball when he took a return catch from a spliced slog by Adam Lyth. That brought Joe Root to the crease for the 659th time in senior cricket and it isn’t a knock he will remember – three from nine balls before lifting Holland to long-on.Masood and Donovan Ferreira added 50 in 35 balls before Hull came back on to dismiss both in his first five balls. Ferreira gloved an attempted pull high to wicketkeeper Ben Cox and Masood top-edged a return catch. Both wickets owed something to the batters being surprised by pace in a highly impressive spell by the 6ft 7in left-armer.When Hull added a smart catch at short fine leg to dismiss Dom Bess off Scott Currie, Vikings were 116 for 7. Jordan Thompson smote Mike for successive sixes but Vikings’ bowlers were left with a tall task on a good batting pitch.They were hit by an immediate onslaught from Patel and Budinger who thrashed 50 from the first 22 balls. Patel lifted Dan Moriarty for successive sixes before the fourth over, from Thompson, went for 30 including three sixes for Budinger.Both openers perished in five balls went Patel skied Bess to long-on and Budinger sliced Jafer Chohan to backward point but they had left their side needing a comfy 67 from 80 balls. Louis Kimber and Wiaan Milder kept the momentum high with vibrant cameos and Foxes skipper Peter Handscomb was able to watch contently from the non-striker’s end as his side cruised home.

'You need to wait' – Arne Slot reveals latest on Darwin Nunez's exit amid Liverpool's plans to make fresh play for Alexander Isak

Arne Slot has delivered a "need to wait" update on Darwin Nunez's future at Liverpool, with the Uruguayan striker seeing a transfer mooted.

Uruguayan has spent three years at AnfieldLinked with teams in the Saudi Pro LeagueSale will raise funds for raid on NewcastleFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Three years on from completing a £64 million ($86m) switch to Anfield, Nunez could soon be heading for the exit. He has taken in 143 appearances for Premier League champions Liverpool, scoring 40 goals.

The Saudi Pro League could be his next port of call, with Al-Hilal reported to have a big-money offer on the table. Liverpool are prepared to sell after bringing in Hugo Ekitike and targeting Newcastle frontman Alexander Isak.

DID YOU KNOW?

Offloading Nunez would help to generate funds that can be reinvested in a swoop for Swedish sensation Isak that could end up costing a British record fee – with the Reds having already made history in that department once this summer when signing Florian Wirtz for £116m ($156m).

Slot told reporters when asked about potential movement in and out of Liverpool’s striking department: "These are a lot of questions! As you know from me – and I think every manager works like this – you never talk about players that are not yours. I can talk to you about Hugo, who we signed recently and has done really well until now.

"I and we are very happy with the squad we are having and there is every reason to be happy about that because we won the league last season. OK, players left, but we have brought players in as well and youngsters are doing good.

"At this moment in time, Darwin might indeed leave, but things are not signed yet, so you need to wait maybe a few days before that is completely done. But there is indeed a chance he is going to leave."

Kyle Abbott sets Hampshire record as pace-setters Surrey stumble

Fast bowler’s five-for followed by batting grind as Foakes back spasm adds to visitors’ woes

ECB Reporters Network24-May-2024Kyle Abbott became Utilita Bowl’s greatest-ever wicket-taker as Hampshire showed a chink in champions Surrey’s quest for a third straight Vitality County Championship crown.Fast bowler Abbott overtook Dimi Mascarenhas’ 186 scalps at the ground as his predatory post-lunch spell of five for 25 put him on 188 home wickets since initially arriving in 2014.The South African was supplemented by Liam Dawson’s three for 21 as Surrey were rolled for 127 – although with the warning that they recovered from 15 for four to beat Worcestershire last week.To add to Surrey, and potentially England’s, woes, wicket-keeper Ben Foakes didn’t keep wicket due to a back spasm, as Hampshire ground out a glacial 102 for one.A relatively even morning session was headlined by Dawson picking off Surrey’s distinguished top-order, after the visitors had chosen to bat first on a used pitch.The left-arm spinner entered the attack in the 10th over and stuck after just four deliveries, as Dom Sibley returned a simple caught and bowled.After a missed chance to stump Rory Burns, Ollie Pope attempted to pump Dawson over long-on but mistimed to Keith Barker at mid-on to hand the all-rounder his 300th first-class wicket for Hampshire.His 301st came soon after when Burns turned to short leg, before Jamie Smith ended the morning session by having his stumps rearranged by debutant Michael Neser – the Australian coming in for Mohammed Abbas, who has returned home.The interval score of 89 for four slightly flattered the hosts, but when they returned, Abbott got his tail up and demolished the middle and lower order.Abbott became a father for the first time over the winter and also went on a fitness regime that returned him to a similar physique to the one he had as a Test bowler.The primary reason for the latter was to have the same energy and strength at the end of a long session or day with which he had started.It was really Felix Organ who got things rolling, as he snatched a wonderful diving catch at square-leg to dismiss Dan Lawrence. But from then on it was peak Abbott and his skilful bowling.He nipped in to displace Foakes’ middle stump, before another in-ducker found Jordan Clark’s outside edge for a duck. At that point, Abbott had taken three wickets without conceding a run after lunch.Abbott overtook Mascarenhas by getting a ball to lift on Sean Abbott, and then completed his 38th five-wicket haul of his career by cleaning up Gus Atkinson. All five wickets had come in a 34-ball burst.Neser rounded off the innings by pegging back Cam Steel’s off stump to end a Surrey collapse which had seen seven wickets fall for 38 runs. It was their lowest total since the last innings of last season – which came on this ground having secured the title the day before.The grey skies that had partnered Surrey’s innings were replaced by blue ones as Fletcha Middleton and Toby Albert – in for another back spasm victim Ali Orr – built a 51-run stand for the first wicket.The duo took little risk, with dot balls comprising of 85 per cent of their partnership, but were split when Middleton tickled a sweep shot behind to Smith – who had replaced Foakes behind the stumps.For Albert it was a contrast from the 51 off 33 balls and 86 off 31 balls he had scored earlier this week in T20 matches for the Second XI. In his first 100 balls he only scored 19 runs, and ended the day with a barely quicker 34 off 139 – having put on 51 with Nick Gubbins.

Jadeja stars with bat and ball as CSK climb to third

PBKS had dominated proceedings right from the toss, but their batters tumbled from 62 for 2 to 78 for 7 in the 168 chase

Moody: CSK tactically clever with Santner’s selection

Punjab Kings showcased their very best and worst selves all in the course of about 45 minutes and in the end the bad outweighed the good as they lost to Chennai Super Kings by 28 runs.Sam Curran’s men had dominated proceedings right from the toss. A target of 168 should’ve been well within their reach, especially when they strung together a period of play where they hit six boundaries in 18 balls between the fifth and the seventh overs.The equation at that point was 112 off 78 with eight wickets in hand. This was not the time to collapse but collapse they did, losing both their set batters, their captain and their finisher. They tumbled from 62 for 2 to 78 for 7. And CSK rose from fifth place to third place.CSK stutterIt all began with CSK ticking every box they shouldn’t tick in a batting innings in T20 cricket. They lost a wicket in the powerplay. Ajinkya Rahane’s poor IPL continued with his fifth score of 15 or less. Then just as they were recovering – backing up overs that went for 19 and 9 runs – they lost three wickets in 11 balls, including their top-scorer Ruturaj Gaikwad (32 off 21) and their spin-hitter Shivam Dube (0 off 1). Then just as they were recovering from that – backing up overs that went for 11 and 9 runs – they lost another wicket. Ravindra Jadeja, batting at No. 6, was in during the ninth over and made sure to stay there almost through to finish. His 43 off 26 balls was crucial to the total CSK ended up with.Chahar’s masterclassRahul Chahar was once again at the forefront of the PBKS bowling performance, even though he was facing a line-up full of left-handers. He coped by trusting his googly and by staying out of their hitting arcs. These are defensive skills and they are proving more and more valuable. Fifteen of the legspinner’s 24 deliveries arrived outside the batter’s off stump, or even wider, and fetched him all three of his wickets.2:13

Rapid Fire review – Will CSK finish in the top four?

Harshal back to his old self181 runs. That’s how many Harshal Patel gave up in his first four games of this season. 181 runs. That’s also how many Harshal has given up over his last seven games this season. He’s also picked up 13 wickets along the way. He’s become a bowler transformed – or so it seems. Really though, a death overs specialist runs the risk of splits like these. It’s the difference between executing what you want perfectly and missing your mark by a few inches. Harshal secured two of his three wickets with slow, sharply dipping yorkers. One of them was MS Dhoni for a first-ball duck. He spoke about how he doesn’t rely on technique as much as feel, which is why he wasn’t at his best at the start of the season; he was rusty. But with overs under his belt, he has gotten better and better.A strange pitchThis pitch, on first sight, seemed to be pretty good for batting. But eventually it became clear that it was playing some tricks. Harshal mentioned that since it was a day game and the square was so dry he was getting reverse swing from as early when he came on to bowl, in the 10th over. Later, in the evening, the new ball started to deck around. It offered extra bounce, which interfered with the shots that Gaikwad and Dube tried to play, but also kept low, without which Daryl Mitchell might not have been lbw. When the ball got old, it held in the pitch and took turn. Both Chahar and Jadeja produced double-wicket overs.CSK’s bowling leaderCSK have lost Deepak Chahar and Matheesha Pathirana to injury but have been able to stay in the race for the IPL playoffs because Tushar Deshpande has improved beyond sight. He was the one selecting the ball that they were going to use at the start of the game. That is typically the responsibility of a very senior player. This guy was once their net bowler. His rise has been phenomenal. Deshpande took out PBKS’ two big guns in the top-order – Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw – in the same over. His first six balls of the match increased CSK’s chances of victory by 18.66%.1:32

Jaffer: Punjab’s batters messed up big time

The recoveryThe thing with defending small totals is everybody has to be perfect. CSK had one bowler who was nailing his lengths. Constantly looking to hit the deck, which is where all the vagaries were coming from, whether it was extra bounce, or the ball holding up, or keeping low. Deshpande’s upright seam position also helped him get sideways movement. The Rossow ball nipped in against the angle and left his stumps splayed before he could even react. Beaten for both pace and movement.But overs five, six and seven cost CSK as Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh went on the offensive. They were pulling off jaw-dropping shots. A ramp over third man for six when there was no room and the ball was climbing. An inside-out drive over cover for four when the ball was darted in on or even outside leg stump.The collapseMitchell Santner has a history of putting in high-impact performances. In his second game for CSK, he hit the last ball for six to win the game. But being a left-arm spinner in a team that already has Jadeja, he tends to ride the bench. This was his 16th game for CSK in five years. He only came in because Mustafizur Rahman had to leave early and Pathirana and Chahar were injured. Still, he is a player who knows his strengths and he backed them, bowling nice and tight on the stumps and asking the batters to hit him to the longer boundary, down the ground. That’s how he got Shashank.In the next, the ninth over, Jadeja took out Prabhsimran. In the next over, Simarjeet Singh got rid of Jitesh Sharma and so on and so on. Five wickets. Sixteen runs. Twenty-eight balls. PBKS kept trying to hit themselves out of trouble. They were unable to soak the pressure; unable to bat at a different gear.This is the kind of situation that CSK thrive in. So even when there came a point where Ashutosh Sharma was dropped very poorly by Moeen Ali, they had Jadeja up their sleeve and he produced a wicket off the very next ball, Sam Curran falling to another big shot, and then in the same over, Ashutosh too succumbing to a wild swing. That was 78 for 7 and that was the game.

اختيار مفاجئ.. لامين يامال يكشف مرشحه للفوز بـ الكرة الذهبية حال خسارته

تحدث الإسباني لامين يامال، لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة عن الانتقادات التي يتعرض لها خلال الفترة الماضية ومرشحينه للفوز بالكرة الذهبية.

وتعادل الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة أمام نظيره رايو فاليكانو بهدف لكل فريق بالمباراة التي جمعتهما ضمن منافسات الجولة الثالثة من بطولة الدوري الإسباني “لا ليجا”.

وعن المرشحين الأوفر حظًا إذا لم يفز بالكرة الذهبية قال لامين في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “آس”: “نيمار وميسي، سأمنح واحدة لـ”ني”، أعتقد أنه يستحقها، “ني” عندما كان يلعب في برشلونة أو باريس سان جيرمان كان سيفوز بها الآن بالتأكيد، كنت أتمنى لو فاز بها هو، وبالطبع ميسي، لأنه الأفضل في التاريخ”.

وعن صيحة فليك في مباراة رايو فاليكانو أكمل: “أعتقد أن الأمر يتعلق أكثر بعدم بدء الموسم بنفس القوة التي بدأناها في نهاية الموسم الماضي، وليس بالغرور في غرفة الملابس، بعد التعادل يخرج المرء من مزاج سيئ وفي النهاية يجب أن يفوز”.

وأضاف: “حصدنا 7 نقاط من أصل 9 على ملاعب صعبة للغاية، وهو أمر لا يُحتسب كثيرًا، أنت محق في أننا ارتكبنا العديد من الأخطاء لكن هذا وارد، علينا أن نستعيد أفضل ما لدينا في أسرع وقت ممكن، لم يكن ذلك بسبب الغرور”.

وعن إمكانية الفوز بالدوري الإسباني مجددًا أردف لامين: “نحن متعطشون للمزيد، فلم نفز فقط بـ 4 ألقاب في دوري أبطال أوروبا أو 4 ألقاب متتالية في الدوري، ما زلنا في بداية الطريق، الدوري الإسباني طويل وعلينا أن نحافظ على مستوانا”.

وعن زملائه نيكو وفيرمين أتم: “المهم هو أن يستمتع نيكو بمكانه، لستُ ممن يُملي عليه مكان ما، أرى فيرمين سعيدًا جدًا في برشلونة، إذا رحل أحدهم فهو قراره الشخصي، نحن مجموعة شابة متحدة، ولا توجد بيننا أي مشاكل لا أعتقد أن أحدًا يرغب في الرحيل، سألناه مازحًا عما يحدث في إنجلترا لكنه قال إنه يريد البقاء”.
