O atacante Gustavo Mosquito entrou no segundo tempo da derrota do Corinthians para o Palmeiras, neste domingo (16) por 2 a 0, pela semifinal do Campeonato Paulista, na Neo Química Arena, que resultou na eliminação corintiana no Estadual. Foi a segunda desclassificação do clube alvinegro em três dias, já que na última quinta-feira (13), o revés por 4 a 0 para o Peñarol, no Uruguai, tirou as chances de classificação da equipe do Parque São Jorge às oitavas de final da Sul-Americana.

– A gente entende a cobrança. Saímos da Sul-Americana, e na mesma semana ser eliminado no Paulista para o rival é uma tristeza grande. Já temos outros desafios pela frente, agora é esquecer isso, trabalhar o mais forte possível para evoluir e conseguir os resultados. É o que nós e a torcida mais queremos – afirmou Mosquito em entrevista ao Grupo Globo, após o Dérbi.
Veloz pelos lados do campo, ele conseguiu o melhor momento corintiano no jogo, sofrendo um pênalti, nos minutos finais, quando o Corinthians já perdia por 2 a 0, que foi desperdiçado pelo meia Luan.
Contra o Palmeiras, o Timão teve mais posse de bola, 61% contra 39%, mas chegou pouco à área adversária. Foram oito finalizações, sendo apenas três dentro região mais ofensiva do campo, enquanto o rival chutou 13 vezes, sendo seis no último terço do gramado.
Mosquito, que atuou os 45 minutos finais, além de sofrer o pênalti, acertou todos os três passes que tentou, errou apenas uma das suas tentativas de drible e venceu seis dos seus oito duelos contra adversários palmeirenses, segundo o “SofaScore”.
Eliminado do Paulistão, o Alvinegro do Parque São Jorge joga as suas próximas duas partidas para cumprir tabela na Sul-Americana, contra o Sport Huancayo (PER), nesta quinta-feira (20), às 21h30, na Neo Química Arena, e diante do River Plate (PAR), novamente em Itaquera, no dia 26 de março, às 21h30.

Moores signs two-year contract extension after disappointing Championship season

Peter Moores has signed a two-year contract extension as Nottinghamshire head coach•Getty Images
A desire to ‘put things right’ will drive Peter Moores when he embarks on a fresh two-year contract as Nottinghamshire’s head coach next season.Moores, who took Notts to the semi-finals of the Royal London One Day Cup and the Vitality Blast, acknowledged that the summer of 2019 had been one of his most difficult after the club were relegated to Division Two of the Championship, having barely scraped together half the points total of seventh-placed Warwickshire in the eight-team first division.”I want to put things right,” said Moores. “We’re in a tough place at the moment, but I’m passionate about this club and I want to see us through this next period.”We played some very good white-ball cricket in 2019 and we’re determined to remain one of the country’s most consistent forces in those formats. But it hurts me every day that we’ve been nowhere near the required standard with our red-ball cricket.”We have to accept that the Second Division is the place we deserve to be based on the way we’ve played. We’ve now got to work harder than ever and fight to get back to where we want to be.”Also read: From Duncan Fletcher to Trevor Bayliss: how Chris Silverwood’s predecessors shaped upNottinghamshire failed to win any of their 14 Championship matches, amassing 10 defeats and four draws for their 67 points, compared to Warwickshire’s three wins, six losses and five draws for 131 points.The Outlaws lost their Blast semi-final to Worcestershire Rapids in extraordinary circumstances. Needing 11 to win with eight wickets in hand, Notts lost three batsmen in the penultimate over and, with only six runs required off the final over, they managed just five. Notts were also thumped by 115 runs in the Royal London Cup semi-finals by Somerset, who set them a lofty target of 338 runs to win.Moores, who coached England from 2007-09 and 2014-15, joined Nottinghamshire in 2015 as a consultant before taking on the new head coach role at the end of the following year. He won the white-ball double with the Outlaws in 2017 as well as promotion to Division One of the County Championship.His tenure with Notts has coincided with a transitional period in which Michael Lumb, Chris Read and Brendan Taylor headed a list of experienced player departures, while Alex Hales and Harry Gurney opted to sign white-ball only deals.Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell described Moores as one of the most dedicated and respected coaches in the game.”He’s committed to Notts and he’s valued very highly by our players,” Newell said. “This year has been tough for everyone involved with the club. However, we all believe the squad we have assembled has the talent and potential to get us back to where we need to be.”
Liverpool harvested a wealth of goals against Sparta Prague one week ago in the Europa League and the importance of that success cannot be understated.
Despite performing at a high level across recent weeks, Liverpool's fragility in regard to squad depth was an ominous threat, like a rattling pipe about to burst.
Still, Jurgen Klopp's exemplary work in building the academy over recent years has paid off handsomely with a gushing of teenage talent making an impact this season, duly so as so many recent injuries have formed the core of a threat that did not materialise.
Alexis Mac Allister for Liverpool
Winning 5-1 last Thursday in the Czech Republic has effectively allowed for heavy rotation at Anfield tonight, vital given that a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday looms.
Liverpool team news vs Sparta Prague
Liverpool's injury list is not quite as staggering as it has been across recent weeks and months but there are certainly still more than a few star names ensnared in the medical room.
Ibrahima Konate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota, Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara, Ben Doak and Joel Matip all remain sidelined, while Ryan Gravenberch may feature after returning to team training this week.
In his pre-match press conference, Klopp mentioned that Mohamed Salah is "ready to start", however, it is unlikely that the Egyptian talisman will receive a starting berth in the Europa League given that he has not started a match for Liverpool since New Year's Day, injured on international duty and since restricted to cameos, albeit effective ones.

Klopp could make six changes to the side that drew with Manchester City on Sunday.
ByAngus Sinclair Mar 13, 2024
Harvey Elliott is the obvious choice to start on the right wing but Liverpool might actually be wise to unleash one of their most untested prospects given the sizeable four-goal advantage.
It would be Doak, but unfortunately, the exciting talent remains out of action.
Why Ben Doak isn't playing for Liverpool
Doak signed for Liverpool from Scottish giants Celtic back in 2022 as a youth, with the Reds paying a compensation fee of around £600,000 and warding off a host of top European clubs to secure his signature.
Last season, the 18-year-old was handed a smattering of opportunities in Klopp's first team but he featured regularly in pre-season (notably catching the eye against Bayern Munich). He looked to be a member of the squad this year, starting three times in the Europa League group phase and again in the Carabao Cup third-round win over Leicester City.
Described as an "explosive" winger by talent scout Jacek Kulig, the Scotland U21 international is diminutive but blessed with lightning pace and deceptive strength. He's naturally athletic, and he's built to bypass defenders.
After his promising start in the current campaign, Doak was struck down by a knee injury in January and underwent surgery, with an exact timeframe not given but he was expected to be out until April at the earliest and indeed continues to recuperate right now.
His unavailability has meant that Elliott – at his best in a deeper role – has been forced onto the wing with Salah injured, and while either of those players could feature from the outset against Sparta Prague, it really is the perfect opportunity to hand one on the fringe with an opportunity.
Ben Doak for Liverpool.
Indeed, Kaide Gordon is turning into something of a forgotten man on Merseyside, but make no mistake, the 19-year-old knows how to play and must now take his chance to impress on the side of the frontline.
Why Kaide Gordon must start vs Sparta Prague
Gordon has endured a torrid time on the injury front in his early years on the professional scene but he's played three times for Klopp's seniors this season and chipped in with a goal and three assists from six starts in the Premier League 2.
He started against Union Saint-Gilloise back in November during much-changed Liverpool's timid defeat, possibly the worst of the season so far, and while he was understandably out-of-sorts after his interminable layoff, the teenager left much to be desired.

Having said that, he got stuck right in and won five ground duels from seven contests, which is promising to say the least. On the other hand, Gordon failed to contribute with anything of note in attack and he will need to ramp up the gas offensively if he is to make his mark tonight.
Gordon, like Doak, is nimble and versatile and prefers to play from the right even though he's effective on the alternate flank, though he is left-footed and thus excels when slicing inside and striking on goal.
Gordon joined Liverpool from Derby County for around £3m back in 2021 and looked like a real prodigy, lauded for his "exceptional" skill set by Klopp and scoring on his debut in the FA Cup against Shrewsbury Town in January 2022.
However, having missed the entirety of last season, the dynamic winger is no longer the creme-de-la-creme of Anfield's formative fold, and after Jayden Danns and Lewis Koumas' applaudable displays against Southampton last month, both on the scoresheet, he will need to recall his innate ability and prove himself worthy of a spot in Liverpool's team.
He signed his first professional contract with Liverpool back in October 2021 and he need not concern himself with expiry dates at this stage, but Thursday night's clash looks likely to be his best and potentially last chance of making a positive impact before the close of the campaign.
Hailed for his "aggressive" return to U21 football this term by manager Barry Lewtas, Gordon must now prove that he has what it takes to stand out among this wave of potential crashing through the Anfield doors.
Given the circumstances, there's no reason why he shouldn't be on the sheet this evening.

Will Pucovski made 82 and Peter Handscomb 54 as Victoria declared shortly after taking the lead late in the day in the hope of getting nine overs at New South Wales’ openers but they only managed one in bad light before stumps was called.Pucovski and Handscomb weren’t able to add much to their overnight totals in a slow opening session. Handscomb reached his half-century but fell shortly after, while Matthew Short added 40. Pucovski batted for 35 overs and only added 20 runs while taken several blows on the body as the ball seamed around. His patient 257-ball vigil, which only featured four boundaries, came to an end when he advanced at O’Keefe and was stumped by a large margin, undone by some turn and drop from over the wicket.O’Keefe prized out two more for his 13th five-wicket haul in first-class cricket.

As Sunderland look to get back into the play-off places next season, having seen their Championship promotion hopes slowly but surely fizzle out in the current campaign, those at the Stadium of Light have already turned their attention towards the summer window.
Sunderland transfer news
Before the Black Cats can really begin their summer plans, however, they must secure a permanent manager following the end of Mike Dodds' interim spell at the end of the season. There's certainly pressure to get the next appointment right too, having endured the nightmare tenue of Michael Beale after deciding to part ways with Tony Mowbray.
Regretting their decision to dismiss Mowbray ever since, names such as Manchester United legend and former Sunderland manager Roy Keane have been mentioned, though Carlton Palmer was quick to shoot down those rumours recently.
Dodds must unleash "magic" Sunderland star alongside Aouchiche
Mike Dodds could start this Sunderland star to inspire his side to a much-needed victory.
ByKelan Sarson Mar 29, 2024
A more likely option to take the hot seat may well be Steve Cooper, who has been out of a job since being sacked by Nottingham Forest earlier this season. A man who knows all about Championship promotion, there's no doubt that Cooper would be a superb appointment.
What's more, whoever does come in could get the benefit of a new shot-stopper to compete or possibly replace Anthony Patterson in the long run. According to The Sun's Alan Nixon on his Patreon, relayed by The 72, Sunderland are eyeing a move to sign Sam Tickle from Wigan Athletic this summer after his impressive performances in League One.
The England U21 international, now 22 years of age, has been one of few bright sparks at Wigan this season, with the Latics sat in mid-table and on course to miss out on promotion, forced to go again next season potentially without their number one.
Given that Tickle's current contract doesn't run out until 2026, Sunderland are likely in for tough negotiations this summer, but the step up to the Championship could be one that tempts Tickle into a departure.
"Outstanding" Tickle could compete with Patterson
Signing Tickle would leave Sunderland with two solid and young options to choose from in goal, or possibly one if Patterson departs.
Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson.
With an impressive 16 clean sheets to his name this season, Tickle has just about has the edge over Patterson in that area, with the current Sunderland shot-stopper keeping just 10 for the Black Cats so far in the current campaign.
Wigan manager Shaun Maloney may well be reluctant to let his goalkeeper go, however, having sung his praises at the end of January. Maloney said:
“This is only my opinion, but I don't think there's a better goalkeeper in our league…I'm not sure there's a better goalkeeper in the league above…he's that good! He can get even better with his feet, but shot-stopping… I haven't seen too many as good as that – when he just produces outstanding moments like he does that win games."

Aston Villa returned from the international break in wonderful form, securing a much-needed 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
The win ensures that they remain fourth in the league table, three points clear of Tottenham Hotspur, albeit they have a game in hand.
Unai Emery
Unai Emery is clearly building something special at Villa Park. By securing Champions League football for next season, he will be able to attract even better players, using the financial boost to strengthen his side.
He recruited well in January, with Morgan Rogers an exciting signing who was signed from Championship side Middlesbrough.
The youngster enjoyed arguably his finest performance in a Villa jersey against Wolves.
Morgan Rogers’ game in numbers against Wolves
The winger was given a start by Emery with the hope that he could use his creativity and dribbling skills to good effect.
Morgan Rogers
It certainly paid off. During the clash, Rogers attempted five dribbles, succeeding with all five, while he was fouled twice, indicating that the player was a big danger in the final third for the Midlands side.
The former Boro gem was also impressive when taking on opposition players, winning eight of his 12 ground duels contested, and he is swiftly becoming a reliable figure in the Villa first-team squad.

Another player who was even more impressive than Rogers during the comfortable win over the Old Gold was Moussa Diaby, as the Frenchman is becoming undroppable due to his displays of late.
Moussa Diaby shone for Villa against Wolves
The former Bayer Leverkusen winger has been deployed in a more central role of late, tending to partner Ollie Watkins up top in Emery’s 4-4-2 formation. It certainly worked a treat on the weekend.
The 24-year-old opened the scoring for his side, smashing home a shot which no goalkeeper would have stopped, giving him a much-needed confidence boost.
Moussa Diaby
Diaby also managed to grab an assist for Ezri Konsa to score the goal that sealed all three points, proving how important he can be if deployed as a centre-forward.
Along with his goal contributions, the 5 foot 7 dynamo succeeded with 50% of his dribble attempts, made two key passes, delivered a cross and lost possession just nine times during the clash.
If he can replicate this form over the coming weeks, Emery’s men will have a wonderful chance of securing a top-four finish, securing a spot in the promised land of the Champions League.
Previously hailed as “wonderful” by Statman Dave during his time in the Bundesliga, it has taken a few months for Diaby to really hit the ground running and showcase his true potential.
With eight Premier League matches to go, the Frenchman has scored five goals while registering nine assists, which is a solid return for a player who has struggled in spells at Villa.
Should he add another few goals and assists between now and the end of the season, he could give himself a solid platform to build on ahead of next season.
