Com o contrato encerrado com a Portuguesa-RJ, o lateral-esquerdo Sanchez vai seguir a carreira longe da Ilha do Governador. O jogador, que foi escolhido para formar a seleção de melhores jogadores do Carioca de 2022, tem como objetivo jogar na elite do futebol nacional, mas já recebeu propostas da Série B. Sanchez e seu estafe devem decidir o futuro até a próxima semana.
Contratado no fim de 2021, Sanchez foi um dos principais destaques da Lusa na temporada. O lateral-esquerdo foi titular em todas as 11 partidas da Taça Guanabara, onde marcou um gol, contra o Flamengo, na estreia, e deu uma assistência, na goleada por 5 a 3 sobre o Botafogo, que encerrou um jejum de 56 anos que o Rubro-Verde não vencia o Glorioso.
No estadual, o defensor ainda recebeu o prêmio de melhor jogador em campo contra o Audax e concorreu cinco vezes à votação de melhor lateral-esquerdo da rodada – na primeira, segunda, quarta, sétima e décima rodada -, por definição da FERJ.
Pela Copa do Brasil, o jogador protagonizou um dos momentos mais importantes da história do clube, ao marcar o primeiro gol da Lusa na competição, tento que garantiu a classificação sobre o CRB, na primeira fase. A Lusa disputa a Copa do Brasil pela primeira vez em seus 97 anos.
Somando o Campeonato Carioca e a Copa do Brasil, Sanchez jogou 13 dos 15 jogos da Portuguesa, todos como titular, e não foi substituído uma vez sequer. Dentre todos os jogadores inscritos no Carioca, o lateral foi o 2º atleta de linha que mais atuou na Taça Guanabara, com 1.124 minutos, atrás apenas do zagueiro Anderson Conceição, do Vasco, com 1.129.

Liverpool have produced some remarkable players over the years, but the club’s academy has never quite been a hothouse for prodigious talents.
Steven Gerrard is one of the greatest English midfielders in history, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is the contemporary Scouse-born star boy, but the Reds haven’t maintained the fastest of production lines across the decades, instead honing one or two stars every now and then.
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard
Is that changing? You’d certainly say so if recent history is anything to go by. Jurgen Klopp’s advent on Merseyside transformed Liverpool’s fortunes, saw Jordan Henderson lift Premier League and Champions League titles.
But the German also heralded an upswing in youth success, bringing a wave of talent to the fore.
Liverpool's best youth players
Right before Liverpool raised the Carabao Cup aloft in February, pundit Gary Neville infamously said: “Jurgen Klopp’s kids beat Chelsea’s billion-pound bottle-jobs.”
The injury-hit Merseysiders had prevailed against the odds, with a load of inexperienced youngsters covering yawning holes and claiming an unforgettable slice of silverware.
Ben Doak and Stefan Bajcetic were both injured, perhaps the two creams of the crop. However, the 2023/24 campaign had seen Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah emerge onto the scene and cement established first-team roles, while lesser-known prospects like James McConnell, Jayden Danns and Bobby Clark all played instrumental parts.
Trey Nyoni.
An overload of quality, and it’s no surprise that Slot moved to trim the squad when he arrived during the summer. However, he did oversee the arrival of a teenage talent who might just trump the lot at Kirkby. His name’s Rio Ngumoha – and you might want to remember it.
Why Liverpool signed Rio Ngumoha
There was always going to be room for one more – especially if the talent in question was as good as Ngumoha, who, only 16, is operating on a different stratosphere to his age-mates.
Reporter Lewis Bower even said: “I’ve probably never seen anything like it before. In terms of his ceiling, it’s frightening.”
The gulf between youth and senior top-flight football is chasmic. Liverpool, however, are convinced that Ngumoha is one of the most talented 16-year-olds across the globe, with his fleet-footedness and on-the-ball technique bespeaking his athletic precocity.
Chelsea have been left brooding over their talent’s departure, but then Liverpool simply acted, pounced upon a gem that had been loosed by the upheaval and bloated nature of the Cobham Academy.
For Ngumoha’s part, he was enticed by the pathway to Anfield’s senior stage, watching as ‘Klopp’s kids’ achieved such noteworthy success last term, namely with Quansah, Bradley and Danns announcing themselves.

Given that he’s only a few months into his 16th year, Ngumoha has eclipsed expectations, taking steady steps onto the scene and leaving Premier League legends such as John Terry saying: “This boy is and will be a top, top player.”
There’s an easiness to his play that few youngsters showcase on the field. He plays as if in a park, carefree and devastating with every move, flick, trick. You need only look at the short clip below to get a taste.
Ngmoha leaves you wanting more. An entertainer with a predatory sense that suggests he is destined for greatness – with care, patience, and tempered expectations, of course.
However, there’s a ball-carrying quality that points toward Ngumoha being Liverpool’s next version of Sadio Mane. There’s plenty of work to be done before that peak is reached, but the signs are promising.
Rio Ngumoha could be Slot's own Sadio Mane
Klopp once called Mane a “world-class” forward, and it’s a sentiment that is echoed by all of a Liverpool persuasion. Mohamed Salah might be one of the best players in the world right now, but when he flanked Roberto Firmino with his Senegal partner, they made a whole that was far greater than the sum of its parts.
Sadio Mane Liverpool graphic
Mane, 32, was a talisman throughout the glory days of Klopp’s reign, so incredible on the flank as he combined deadly finishing with artful cunning and technical brilliance.
Ngumoha hasn’t quite nailed down his best position as he continues to cut his teeth at youth level but he does start on the left with the greatest regularity, and he could be Mane’s natural successor if he sharpens a goalscoring edge over the coming years.
The youngster’s burgeoning reputation could even see him take Luis Diaz’s place in the coming years, with the Colombian one of the finest players in the Premier League but turns 28 in a few weeks and appears to be at an impasse vis-a-vis contract talks.
His deal expires in 2027 and Liverpool, while satisfied that they are getting bang for their buck with the Colombian, will be aware that he is settled in the heart of his prime and would garner a pretty penny indeed if he were to pick up a suitor – Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have been known admirers in 2024.
Liverpool star Luis Diaz
While it would be ridiculous to hurl the 16-year-old Ngumoha into the deep end, Cody Gakpo is thriving at present and Diogo Jota also brings an exciting take to the left wing position.
There’s room in the first team for Nguomha. After all, he’s already received a taste of the senior stage under Slot’s management, placed on the bench against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, though he didn’t grace the grass.
In any case, every indication suggests that Liverpool have an incredible talent on their hands and could reap the lucrative rewards of the incisive swipe this summer. Talk of him being Mane’s successor might be a little premature, admittedly, but Slot’s Liverpool offer a platform as good as any for a top-class youngster looking to make their name.

أعرب هنريك مخيتاريان الدولي الأرميني، لاعب فريق كرة القدم الأول بنادي إنتر ميلان الإيطالي عن خيبة أمله بإلغاء هدفه أمام برشلونة في بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.
وانتهت قمة الموسم بين إنتر ميلان وبرشلونة بثلاثية لكل فريق في المباراة التي جمعت بينهما في المونتجويك ملعب البلوجرانا، بذهاب نصف نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وسجل مخيتاريان هدفًا رابعًا لـ إنتر ميلان، لكن الحكم ألغاه بداعي التسلل، قبل أن تؤكد تقنية الفيديو تقدم الأرميني عن دفاع برشلونة بسنتيمترات قليلة.
وفي تعليقه على ذلك الهدف عقب المباراة، قال مخيتاريان: “ربما سأفكر في ذلك الهدف لبقية حياتي”.
وأضاف: “كان بإمكاننا التقدم في تلك اللحظة، لكن للأسف كنت متسللًا بفارق حوالي 3 سنتيمترات، لكن رؤوسنا مرفوعة ونأمل في تحقيق نتيجة إيجابية بملعبنا”.
كان الأداء غير متوقع للنيرازوري، نظرًا لأن إنتر كان قادمًا من ثلاث هزائم متتالية في جميع المسابقات، ما أدى إلى اختفاء آماله في الفوز بالثلاثية، بعد الخروج من نصف نهائي كأس إيطاليا، وفقدان الصدارة لصالح نابولي.
وأضاف مخيتاريان: “كنا نشعر بالإرهاق، لكننا في غرفة الملابس كنا ندرك أهمية بذل أقصى جهد ممكن لإنهاء الموسم دون ندم، وأن تكون بداية العودة من ملعب برشلونة”.
واختتم: “لا أستطيع التنبؤ بما سيحدث في مباراة الإياب، بإمكاننا تقديم أداء أفضل في الهجوم والاستحواذ على الكرة مما قدمناه هنا، برشلونة فريق قوي ولكن نحن كذلك”.

A European club are believed to be interested in completing the signing of a Rangers hero in the January transfer window, in a concerning new update.
Latest Rangers news
The Gers are back in Scottish Premiership action on Thursday night, with the trip to Dundee acting as a must-win game for Philippe Clement. All of his side’s hard work in beating Celtic 3-0 was undone by drawing 3-3 draw away to Hibernian last time around, meaning they are now 13 points behind their rivals in the table.
There are plenty of transfer rumours doing the rounds this month, with Rangers fans no doubt keen on seeing reinforcements brought in, and Iqraam Rayners has been linked with a move to Ibrox. The 29-year-old Mamelodi Sundowns striker is considered strong competition for Hamza Igamane.
Rangersmanager PhilippeClement
Marseille defender Bamo Meite is another rumoured option for the Gers, with a loan move to the Scottish giants mooted in the coming weeks. His current club are willing to allow him to move on this month.
Romanian ace Darius Olaru is another of the names backed to move to Rangers in the near future, with the FCSB midfielder a player who could add quality in the middle of the park, scoring twice in four Europa League appearances this season. Now, a concerning exit report has dropped, though.
Rangers ace wanted by European club
According to Tuttosport [via Sport Witness], Genoa are keen on signing Ianis Hagi in the current transfer window, believing they can snap him up for £1.2m. He is said to be back on the Serie A club’s radar, having shown previous interest in him, and they are “thinking about” returning for him this month.
Losing Hagi midway through the season would be a crushing blow for Rangers, especially as he has become such a key player again recently, not least scoring in the aforementioned victory over Celtic, opening the scoring at Ibrox.
The 26-year-old has registered four assists in the Scottish Premiership this season, coming in just four starts, and Ilie Dumitrescu lauded his quality and the impact his performance against Celtic had on his father, saying: “Ianis Hagi had a sensational match.
“He hit a very good shot that managed to surprise a goalkeeper as excellent as Kasper Schmeichel. But he was superb for the whole game. I saw the look of Gheorghe after the goal and he remained impassive. That’s because he would have been expecting Ianis to score. He never gets overexcited!”
Hopefully, Hagi doesn’t like the idea of moving away from Rangers in January, believing he wants to stay put until at least the end of the season, but Genoa’s interest acts as a worry.

Time will tell if that will be the case, but to see the Gers lose an influential player midway through the campaign would have a detrimental impact on his side’s slim title chances.
Unchanged XI announced as Parkinson returns to sidelines after standing in at Lord’s

Jack Leach suffered a concussion during the first Test•Visionhaus/Getty Images
Jack Leach will make an immediate return to England’s Test team after the selectors named an unchanged XI for the second Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, starting on Friday.Leach, for whom the Lord’s Test had been his first at home since the Ashes in 2019, had to be substituted out of the match after landing heavily on his head in the sixth over of the opening day, as he chased a Devon Conway drive to the backward-point boundary.As Leach dived, successfully dragging the ball back from the edge of the rope, he suffered the injury as his body rotated over the rope. Though he was able to walk from the field of play back to the pavilion after several minutes of treatment, he was withdrawn from the match after a subsequent check-up from the ECB medical team.Matt Parkinson, who claimed his maiden Test wicket with the final ball of New Zealand’s second innings, duly made his debut as the first concussion substitute in England’s Test history, and seemed likely to keep his place too, given that Leach had to serve a mandatory seven-day concussion protocol before being considered eligible for selection.However, he has taken his place back in the side at the earliest opportunity, with Parkinson – who had also been named in an extended 14-man squad – returning to the bench.Leach had been monitored by England’s medical staff since the incident, and was passed fit to play after undergoing a final assessment on Thursday. England’s management also confirmed that the captain, Ben Stokes, would be expecting to bowl in the second Test despite looking uncomfortable during a net session on Wednesday.”Obviously it was pretty unfortunate with what happened to Leachy last week at Lord’s, but he’s pulled up well this week,” Stokes told broadcasters. “It was it was pretty straightforward once we got the good news that he’s fit to play.”The team announcement, which once again comes more than 24 hours before the start of the match, means that there is once again no debut for Harry Brook, the young Yorkshire batter whose form in the County Championship had demanded his inclusion in the squad. England will instead keep faith with their existing middle-order options of Ollie Pope at No.3 and Jonny Bairstow at No.5. Craig Overton, the reserve seamer, also misses out.England XI 1 Zak Crawley, 2 Alex Lees, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, 5 Jonny Bairstow, 6 Ben Stokes (capt), 7 Ben Foakes (wk), 8 Matthew Potts, 9 Jack Leach, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 James Anderson

وعندما سُئل عما إذا كان يتوقع أن ينافس تشيلسي نظيره ليفربول على اللقب الموسم المقبل، قال سلوت في تصريحات نشرها صحيفة “مترو” الإنجليزية: “توقعت أن يشكلوا تهديدًا هذا الموسم”.
وأضاف: “كانوا أفضل منا في أنفيلد (مباراة الدور الأول حيث فاز ليفربول بهدفين لهدف بصعوبة)، وكانوا قريبين جدًا منا”.
وواصل: “لذلك كانت مفاجأة كبيرة بالنسبة لي أن نتقدم عليهم بفارق 19 نقطة، لم أشعر بذلك على الإطلاق عندما لعبنا ضدهم”.
وأردف: “لكن هذا يظهر مدى جودة أدائنا، حيث استطعنا أن نتفوق على فريق مثل هذا لديه لاعبين أكفاء، إنه لشرف كبير للاعبينا، تشيلسي يمتلك هذا العدد الكبير من اللاعبين المميزين”.
Arsenal have submitted an opening January bid for one highly-rated forward, as manager Mikel Arteta “actively” scours the market for new attacking options, following what could be a very serious injury for Gabriel Jesus.
Arsenal pursue January signings amid Gabriel Jesus injury fears
The Gunners were knocked out of the FA Cup third round by Manchester United last weekend, and to make matters worse, in-form forward Jesus picked up a potential ACL injury which could keep him sidelined for a lengthy period.

Arsenal fear Jesus could be out for the rest of this season (The Mail), after the Brazilian with six goals from his last seven matches was forced off against United on 41 minutes.
Arteta, speaking to the media ahead of their North London Derby clash with Tottenham on Wednesday, confirmed that Jesus’ problem is “not looking good” – but refused to predict a timeline for the ex-Man City star’s return.

“We know more now. It is not looking good at all,” said Arteta on Jesus’ injury.
“We need to review with one more specialist and will have better information this afternoon. I don’t want to confirm anything until we have the final report this afternoon. We were very worried after the game, and we are very worried today.”
When asked about the club’s January transfer activity, Arteta also confirmed that his Premier League title chasers are actively in the market for potential upgrades.

“We are actively looking in the market to improve the squad,” said Arteta on Arsenal’s January transfer window.
“We would be naive not to do that. There is an opportunity to improve the squad. We are looking and trying. Let’s see what we are able to do. When you recruit a player, there are three parties. We also have our limitations, we can do what we can do.”
It is worth noting that Arsenal are already closing in on Martin Zubimendi’s signing for the summer, but amidst Jesus’ blow, reports will flood in linking Arteta’s side with an astute goalscorer for this month.
Arsenal are in pursuit of Sporting Lisbon sensation Viktor Gyokeres, according to some reports, while others state that they’re in the race for Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic.
Arsenal submit opening offer for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic
According to Football Transfers, Arsenal have already submitted their first January bid for Vlahovic.
The Serbian’s 12 goals in all competitions so far this season appears to have alerted Emirates Stadium transfer chiefs, and Arteta is a real admirer of the player he once attempted to sign before Juve won the race for him.
Serbia'sDusanVlahovicand Nikola Milenkovic before the match
Arteta’s side have made an offer to take Vlahovic on loan, but their initial approach has been knocked back by the Old Lady, who agreed a £71 million deal with Fiorentina for his services all the way back in 2021.
Juve wish to either sell him permanently or agree an obligation to buy clause in any temporary deal, prompting them to snub Arsenal’s advances at the end of last week.
While they’ve faced rejection this time round, it is believed that Arsenal could come back in for the £360,000-per-week hitman later this month.
