Após uma boa atuação de PV na vitória do Botafogo sobre o Macaé por 4 a 0, neste domingo, a lateral-esquerda foi um dos temas da entrevista coletiva do técnico Marcelo Chamusca. Para a posição, o Alvinegro conta hoje com o próprio Paulo Victor, Guilherme Santos, Rafael Carioca e Hugo, que se recuperou nesta última semana de lesão. O treinador destacou que está servido e, desta maneira, o clube precisa ir atrás de necessidades.

– O PV vem evoluindo, vem maturando, é um jogador jovem, que tem está tendo suas primeiras oportunidades na equipe profissional. A gente não tem nesse momento, nenhuma intenção de ir ao mercado buscar lateral-esquerdo. A gente tem, na posição, quatro jogadores. Além do que foi citado, temos o Guilherme, o Rafael Carioca e o Hugo, que está voltando de lesão.
– Então, a gente está muito bem servido na posição e, nesse momento, a ideia nossa é pontuar. A gente precisa pontuar, a gente não tem uma munição muito grande, então não vamos atacar posições que a gente não tem uma necessidade. Vamos priorizar as posições em que vamos atacar.
No entanto, a situação na lateral-direita é diferente. Para a posição, o Botafogo conta hoje apenas com Jonathan e com Warley, que começou a carreira como lateral, mas hoje atua mais como atacante. Assim, Chamusca revelou que está no mercado, mas a situação não é simples.
– A gente também tem a intenção, independentemente da utilização do Warley ou não, de trazer um jogador para a posição, para poder disputar posição com o Jonathan ali. É só uma questão de tempo de acharmos no mercado que está muito difícil, nesse momento, um jogador coma caraterística que a gente entenda que vai nos ajudar na montagem do elenco para a Série B.
-O Warley é lateral de origem, então não é nenhuma improvisação, é um lateral que acabou virando um extrema, por ter muita força física. Conseguiu fazer bem ali o corredor principalmente na recomposição defensiva, mas ele pode ser usado tranquilamente.

Douglas Luiz has been one of the most talked-about assets of the January transfer window, with his performances for Aston Villa catching the interest of numerous Premier League rivals.
However, with Unai Emery's side also challenging for silverware this season and sitting fourth in the Premier League after 21 matches, the Midlands club are in no rush to let their prized asset go.
Liverpool are said to be keen on moving for the Brazilian, but it is Arsenal that are prepared to go the extra mile to secure the midfielder's services, as per a recent report from Football Insider.
If a move does go through this month, then reinforcements would have to be in the pipeline, therefore, let's look at three potential Luiz successors that Villa could sign now, or in the summer.
1 Mandela Keita – Royal Antwerp
The first potential Luiz replacement is 21-year-old midfielder Mandela Keita, who currently plays in the Belgium Pro League.
According to a report from the Netherlands via TEAMtalk, Villa are interested in signing the Belgian, who can be bought for around £17m.

As you can see, the youngster has featured quite heavily this season and gained experience in the Champions League. Keita is a defensive-minded midfielder by position who is extremely comfortable on the ball, and has a vast passing range, as highlighted by the fact he's in the top one percentile for pass completion percentage in the Belgian League, as per FBref.
However, this transfer can only occur in the summer, as Keita has already played for two clubs this season: Royal Antwerp and his parent side, Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
2 Matt O'Riley – Celtic
Towards the end of December, Sky Sports reported that the Villans were interested in signing Matt O'Riley from Celtic for what would be a fee of at least £25m.
The Dane would provide a similar style of play to Luiz, with slightly more focus on the attacking side of the game. However, the table below shows that he is an all-rounder.

The 23-year-old's biggest strength is his ability to create in the final third while also being relentless out of possession, stopping counter-attacks, making tackles, and intercepting the play.
Furthermore, according to Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, he's an "absolute leader," which means he will take on responsibility in the middle of the park, just like Luiz does currently. O'Riley would thrive next to the engines of John McGinn and Boubacar Kamara.

ByLuke Randall Feb 1, 2024 3 Emile Smith-Rowe – Arsenal
A recent report from Ben Jacobs via GiveMeSport confirmed that Emile Smith Rowe could close the curtain on his Arsenal career, with the journalist stating:
"I am told there is something genuine in the Villa interest in Smith Rowe.”
Now, although Smith Rowe is an attacking player by trade, he could become a great replacement for Luiz. Having said that, the Gunners gem wouldn't be a direct swap in the starting XI, but he could take on the inverted winger role of McGinn, with the Scot then filling in alongside Kamara.

As displayed, the 23-year-old has had a torrid time with injuries over the last few seasons, which has prevented him from working his way back into Mikel Arteta's starting XI. However, his ten-goal 2021/22 Premier League campaign proves that he has the ability to perform against the elite.
All he needs is game time and the trust of a manager to revive his career; Villa and Emery would provide just that.
Manchester United appear to be keen to get deals over the line this window and are now reportedly willing to trigger the release clause of a key target at Old Trafford.
Man Utd look to secure new arrivals…
Differing verdicts have emerged over the potential Manchester United have to bring in players this window despite football director John Murtough hinting that business may be minimal at the Premier League giants over the course of the month as they look to comply with Financial Fair Play concerns.
Erik ten Hag clearly needs bodies in the door to rectify his side's erratic start to the campaign and Sky Sports News journalist Dharmesh Sheth has claimed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his associates will have had a say on potential incomings and outgoings.

He told GIVEMESPORT: "So just going back to INEOS with regard to any kind of decision that gets made, even though the deal hasn't been formally ratified, they would have to be consulted about any deal that happens. I'm told that when they signed that agreement, even though as I said it hasn't been ratified, the transfer strategy was relayed to them. So, they would have had a say in what will be happening in this January transfer window."
This news may come as a relief to Red Devils supporters; however, there is still no clear indication of who could arrive in the North West this window as their side quietly ponder who to pursue according to their specific needs. Now, fresh information has emerged claiming that Manchester United are willing to meet the release clause of a talented midfielder this month, as per reports.
Man Utd ready Javi Guerra move
According to Catalan reports, Manchester United are keen on Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra and have already initiated first contacts regarding a move for the Spain Under-21 international this month.

The outlet claim that Guerra has a release clause worth in the region of €40 million (£34.4 million) that the Red Devils are willing to pay that sum to bring the playmaker to Old Trafford. Viewed as someone who could be very important to the future of Ten Hag's engine room, the Valencia-born man is seen as a value-for-money option and would be guaranteed a high salary in England should he move to Manchester United.
Labelled a "deep-lying orchestrator" by talent scout Jacek Kulig, Guerra has made 19 appearances in all competitions this term for Valencia, registering three goals and one assist (Guerra statistics – Transfermarkt).
Manchester United may need more variation on the field to try and reverse their inconsistent form and Guerra could add a different dimension to their engine room moving forward, both in the short and long term, making this a deal to watch.

>Foco no Pernambucano! A tabela de jogos do Leão
Por ter ficado na 15ª colocação, a premiação prevista pela Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) é de R$ 11,9 milhões. Dinheiro esse que já teria alguns destinos pré-determinados segundo apuração feita pelo portal ‘ge’.
Uma delas seria a negociação junto ao Sporting-POR para solucionar a dívida do Sport desde a compra do atacante André. O não-pagamento da contratação do jogador que passou pelo Leão da Ilha pela segunda vez entre 2017 e 2018 rendeu uma proibição da FIFA ao clube em fazer novas aquisições até que houvesse uma negociação firmada para pagar o equivalente a algo próximo de R$ 6 milhões.
Outra vertente onde a premiação representa um importante fluxo de caixa são nas dívidas trabalhistas que o clube precisa arcar mediante acordos extrajudiciais. Nessa relação encontram-se, por exemplo, referências do torcedor como o goleiro Magrão e o zagueiro Durval.
Caso o Rubro-Negro tivesse conseguido a classificação para a Sul-Americana, o cenário financeiro seria ainda melhor pois, segundo prevê a Conmebol, o prêmio de participação na fase de grupos após a mudança de formato do torneio é de 900 mil dólares. Na cotação atual, equivalente a R$ 4,9 milhões.

The Australia captain says if his team had done better in the key moments in the series opener, the 2-1 scoreline might have been reversed
Andrew McGlashan at the SCG07-Jan-2019After a drizzly end to a Test series where the result had been known four days ago when India walked off with 622, Tim Paine looked back with regret at the series’ opening two days in Adelaide and said he believed if chances had been taken then the 2-1 scoreline could have been reversed.Even though this series has been crammed into a month, as India celebrated in front of a small gathering of fans, it felt a long time ago that India were 5 for 86 on the opening day of the campaign. Cheteshwar Pujara’s masterful hundred – his first of three for the series – lifted India to 250, but that still offered Australia the chance to take a lead. However, to set a trend for the series, they slipped with the bat and ended up conceding a small lead which India converted into a 31-run victory.Although Australia levelled in Perth, the slower pitches in Melbourne and Sydney stymied their ambitions and India were comfortably the better team. One more dry day in the final Test and it would probably have been 3-1.”We honestly feel that we let that [Adelaide] Test slip,” Paine said. “We thought we had a number of opportunities to go well ahead of the game and when those key moments came up India outplayed us to be honest. Looking back now, if we’d won that Test, we win Perth, outplayed in Melbourne then a washout it could have been 2-1 the other way. It’s funny, in a big series of four Tests you go back to a couple of key moments in the very first Test where we let ourselves down and you get to the end of the series and it’s really hard to take.”Paine lauded, and was no doubt envious of, India for having key players take charge of vital moments in the series: Pujara in Adelaide, Bumrah in Melbourne and Pujara again in Sydney.”We are really disappointed. We know we had some guys missing but we honestly felt coming into the series that, in Australia in particular, that we could beat India but, throughout the series, more often than not, when those big moments came up, Virat has scored runs, Pujara has scored runs, Bumrah has bowled a great spell and we couldn’t quite get through those moments.”That’s why India won this series, their best players stood up in the big moments – when they were falling behind in a game one of their good players dragged them back into the contest, or when they were in front of the game they put their foot on us and put us out of the game like they did in Sydney and Melbourne.”Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon emerged from the series in credit, but there were slim pickings elsewhere. It was a series that was always going to challenge the depth of Australia’s batting without David Warner and Steven Smith, but the numbers have been chastening with just eight half-centuries and a top score of 79 by Marcus Harris.It was Harris and Travis Head who Paine picked out as being the gains – while also praising Marnus Labuschagne’s return to the team – and suggested that their chance for exposure at Test level could benefit the team in the future. While it is certainly true that Harris has taken his chance, Head’s series faded after half-centuries in Adelaide and Perth.ALSO READ: How do Australia fix their batting before the Ashes?”From a batting point of view, you look at what Marcus Harris and Travis Head have been able to do they are two examples of guys who might not have played any Test cricket at this stage. They’ve got an opportunity through an unusual situation and I thought both those guys acquitted themselves really well. This India attack was seriously good, I don’t think in Australia we’ve given them enough credit for how relentless they were, it was hard work batting against their attack for seasoned Test players. For Marcus and Travis to show they have got the game to make runs against the best attack in the world is a real positive.””For some of the guys in their third-fourth Test maybe it’s hard to look and say ‘I haven’t scored any hundreds’ but Marcus and Travis showed, and Marnus in the first innings [in Sydney], that they can score runs in Test cricket. Sometimes it’s difficult when it seems so far away, but we have three players there who are one innings away from really breaking through.”Australia’s two most experienced batsmen, Usman Khawaja and Shaun Marsh, scored one half-century apiece. The squad for the first Test against Sri Lanka will be named on Wednesday and Khawaja’s place is not under threat, but the debate around Marsh will be intense. Paine, who is not a selector, endorsed the pair and also the under-fire bowling unit.”I think everyone in our top seven didn’t play as well as we would have liked. Both of those players we know are absolute class, we know they can score a lot of runs. We have faith in them going forward. The group of bowlers we have in this team have been fantastic for quite a while now. They didn’t have their absolute best series but it’s not easy at this level and that can happen.”
Neither camp believes any line of personal decency was crossed during on-field exchanges between Tim Paine and Virat Kohli during the Perth Test between Australia and India.The series had been incident-free on the first seven days, but on the eighth the two captains exchanged a few verbals, which carried on into the ninth day, and paused momentarily with a cheeky Josh Hazlewood saying Kohli was not the most prized wicket for Australia.It all possibly started in Perth on the third day with Kohli telling Paine he was staring at a 2-0 deficit if he messed up with the bat. Paine responded with telling Kohli he had to bat last on this pitch. The needle continued into the fourth morning where the umpires had to intervene. There nearly was physical contact when Kohli and Paine’s paths crossed as they looked to field the ball and take a single respectively.Two subplots to these confrontations arguably made it bigger than it might have been. Australia find themselves under intense scrutiny for their behaviour after the events in Cape Town and the culture review. The confrontation, coming as it did when India started to feel they were falling behind for the first time in the series, could possibly be seen as a cynical attempt to push the Australian buttons.Australia’s concentration on Kohli – not just the players, but the media, the former players, the broadcasters – has at times been excessive with each move of his being scrutinised. Even after getting Kohli out, Paine used his name for banter with M Vijay, basically asking him how he could possibly like Kohli despite his being the captain.At the press conferences at the end of day four, both sides strove to downplay the incidents as “part of the game”, “bit of fun”, and something that shouldn’t be read too much into. “I think it was all good fun,” Australia fast bowler Hazlewood said. “It’s quite competitive out there as you know, and there’s going to be words from time to time, but it was all in good spirits I think.”Shami was of a similar view. He was asked if he found any inconsistencies with how Australia had promised they would behave and how they have actually gone.”See it is a long match, and there might be some moment where you say something and you get a reply in that moment,” Shami said. “So maybe in that moment, things get heated up but it is not something to be made a big issue out of. According to me, we should leave this here. It is part of the game, and it is a way to enjoy things in the Test match. Sometimes we say things, they get upset and make mistakes. These are the moments, but nothing personal.”Virat Kohli and Tim Paine exchanged a few words•Getty Images
When asked if the Australians started it, Shami refused to commit either way. “If there is no sledging, you won’t enjoy the game, the public won’t enjoy the game. If there is aggression, the match becomes more interesting. It is part of the game. As it should be.”Hazlewood was asked if Australia felt frustrated and if they felt the opposition was trying to capitalise on the scrutiny they were under.”No, I don’t think so,” he said. “I think at stages in a game it is going to get heated from time to time. I think we are pretty confident that we can hold that line that we have talked about as a group. It’s more in the heat of the moment, definitely not a ploy to attack any batsman at any stage. It has been really good so far. Just good banter.”I don’t think we read too much into it, we go about our work as we see fit and the Indians can do what they like. We control what we control, and our behaviour is what we control. We’ll worry about that, and let everything else take care of itself.”In a way, Kohli is under similar scrutiny with all the cameras trained at him, scanning every move, be it celebration, reaction to crowd or banter with the opposition. Shami said they didn’t feel concerned about that, but Hazlewood might have made the cheekiest comment yet about the entire thing.Asked if Australia were risking focusing too much on Kohli alone, Hazlewood left with this reply: “I probably see [Cheteshwar] Pujara as the big wicket as far as when I’m bowling,” Hazlewood said. “The glue that holds them together I think. He has batted the most balls this series, and scored nearly the most runs. I see him as a big wicket and [Ajinkya] Rahane as well. So the Nos 3, 4, 5 as the key wickets, and we see it a bit unstable in the other parts of the order. Certainly not all the focus is on Virat.”
Although their recent defeat left them incredibly frustrated, Arsenal should be pleased with the start they’ve made in the Premier League this season. The Gunners laid down a marker by overcoming Manchester City at The Emirates a few weeks ago and have continued their pursuit of English football’s ultimate silverware ever since.
They’ll face their first test of character following the Newcastle defeat, however, and Mikel Arteta will hope to see his side show signs of champions rather than the all too familiar sign that the wheels are beginning to fall off of their title charge this early on. Meanwhile, off the pitch, the North London side are enjoying a solid season and are set to secure yet another star player’s future at the club.
Over the last year or so, we’ve seen a new side to Arsenal away from The Emirates. This is no longer a club who are forced to roll over and sell their best players; a club that has said goodbye to the likes of Robin van Persie, Thierry Henry, Alexis Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas to seemingly bigger clubs in the past. Instead, what we see now is a club capable of keeping hold of their stars whilst poaching others from elsewhere.
Continuing that trend, according to Football Insider, Arsenal have offered Ben White a new deal at the club, which would result in a pay rise. White’s wages, as things stand, sit at a whopping £120k per-week. A new deal would see that number increase, however, as the defender looks to extend his stay at Arsenal beyond 2026 when his current contract expires. Talks are reportedly progressing well and the former Brighton & Hove Albion man could officially put pen to paper in the coming months as a result.
When White arrived at Arsenal in the summer of 2021, it was difficult to know just how he’d perform for the Gunners. He impressed at both Leeds United and Brighton, but this was still a struggling Arsenal side at the time in an environment that could quickly become difficult for most players.
Two years on, any doubts over White’s ability have been completely squashed after the defender quickly became somewhat of a revelation in an unexpected right-back role. White’s stats prove that he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down this season, either.
| Progressive Carries | Progressive Passes | Tackles Won | |
| Ben White | 15 | 54 | 10 |
Showered in praise as a result of his Arsenal performances, Kevin Campbell told the Highbury Squad YouTube channel when talking about White: “That just shows the trajectory of Ben White, he’s a centre-back at right-back and I think he’s grown in that position. Ben White has been outstanding, the clean sheet is for the goalkeeper and the back four, that’s their hat-trick. Ben White as I say is going from strength to strength, the way he plays, he’s not gung-ho, it makes us so much more solid because you have to respect the space against Manchester City.”
