Preso no Chile, Valdívia é novamente acusado por abuso sexual
Jorge Valdívia foi preso na madrugada da última terça-feira. O ex-jogador foi acusado de abuso sexual contra uma mulher no Chile e encaminhado ao presídio para cumprir prisão preventiva. Enquanto o processo continua, o Ministério Público recebeu uma nova denúncia contra o ex-meio-campista pelo mesmo crime. O período de investigação vai durar cerca de 90 dias.
#newsonleo #sports #futebol
O primeiro caso teria acontecido no domingo. Segundo a imprensa chilena, Valdívia teria encontrado com uma tatuadora para discutir uma tatuagem. A mulher não se lembra do que aconteceu depois de terem ingerido álcool. Ela teria ligado para Valdívia pela manhã de segunda-feira, e o ex-jogador disse a ela que tiveram relações sexuais. O ex-jogador afirmou que a relação foi consensual.
O novo registro teria acontecido na última sexta-feira, 18 de outubro, segundo os chilenos. Valdívia teria ido ao restaurante El Toro, em Vitacura, no Chile, com a vítima e depois para seu apartamento - onde o crime teria acontecido.
Valdívia, que atualmente trabalha como comentarista esportivo na "Prima Media", foi afastado da função até que os casos sejam resolvidos. O ex-jogador do Palmeiras, entre 2006 e 2008 e 2010 e 2015, pode ser condenado até 15 anos de prisão se for considerado culpado.
Atlético-MG
Análise: Atlético-MG ousa na escalação, atropela o River e encaminha vaga à final da Libertadores
Disparidade técnica e tática do primeiro ao último minuto. Atlético-MG e River Plate protagonizaram um duelo — de semifinal de Conmebol Libertadores, de um time só na Arena MRV: o Galo. Um domínio que ficou claro no placar: 3 a 0, e um passo à grande final continental.
#newsonleo #sports #Atleticomg
Jogos grandes exigem personalidade. E Gabriel Milito mostrou antes mesmo da bola rolar na escalação. Otávio foi para o banco, e Fausto Vera ganhou a vaga para dar maior mobilidade ao meio-campo.
No ataque, Rubens foi sacado da lateral — Arana voltou ao corredor — e Deyverson foi escalado ao lado de Hulk e Paulinho.
A nova formação trouxe características claras a forma de jogar. O camisa nove - centralizado - era procurado a todo momento para ganhar a primeira bola no alto e fazer o ataque andar. Na esquerda, Paulinho ficava mais aberto e fazia dobradinhas com Arana. Pelo lado direito, Hulk chamava a marcação e abria espaço para o ataque.
Foi esse ataque — e o meio mais solto — que deu o comando da partida ao Atlético, desde os primeiros minutos. O gol saiu aos quatro minutos, mas o árbitro marcou impedimento, confirmado pelo VAR. Mas isso já indicou o ritmo da partida.
O roteiro do primeiro gol só reforçou a ideia inicial de Milito. Lyanco fez o lançamento para Hulk pela direita. Ele ganhou do marcador e abriu espaço para Deyverson. O camisa nove dominou, tirou de Armani e abriu a conta na Arena MRV.
Após o gol, o River conseguiu jogar um pouco, trocar passes no meio e ter com Borja chances esporádicas. Do outro lado, o Galo protegia bem sua área, não sofria, mas era cobrado por Milito para não abdicar do ataque.
O Atlético voltou do intervalo com amplo domínio: ganhava os duelos individuais, ficava com a posse e não deixava o adversário pensar em criar. Parecia um jogo de 11 contra 10.
A resposta do Gallardo foi com três mudanças. Funcionou por um tempo. O River conseguiu competir mais no meio, chegar ao ataque, mas só durou nove minutos.
O segundo gol veio em uma troca de passes desde a defesa. Arana foi acionado pela esquerda e puxou a bola por dentro. Deu um toque com classe para Deyverson na área, que finalizou com categoria para vencer Armani.
Nas cordas, o time argentino não teve tempo para reagir. Quatro minutos depois, novo lançamento para Deyverson. O camisa nove dominou e ajeitou para Paulinho na entrada da área. Ele finalizou de primeira e contou com um desvio para fechar o placar. 3 a 0.
O Atlético tratou a semifinal de Libertadores como ela merece, com autoridade. Mostrou respeito ao River ao não temer o adversário e ousar na escalação. A recompensa veio. Uma vaga bem encaminhada à final da Conmebol Libertadores, na casa do River.
Luto
Morre aos 48 anos André Mussi, fisiculturista, ex-lutador de MMA e empresário do esporte
O empresário, fisiculturista e ex-lutador de MMA André Mussi morreu nesta terça-feira (22), aos 48 anos. O baiano faleceu após passar mal enquanto treinava em uma academia no Rio de Janeiro, onde morava.
#newsonleo #sports #luto #rip #mma
Natural de Salvador, André é reconhecido como um dos precursores do esporte na Bahia. Com um histórico de 11 vitórias pelo MMA, Mussi teve uma trajetória de lutas no Brasil, México, EUA e Portugal, segundo o Sherdog, a maior plataforma do mundo sobre artes marciais. O ex-peso pesado esteve ativo nos octógonos entre 2004 a 2010, quando fez sua última luta oficial.
Amigo de Mussi, o sensei Renato Velame disse ao g1 que o baiano foi "peça importante para o MMA moderno" e que "reformulou o modelo de negócio, profissionalizando a modalidade no estado”.
O ex-lutador foi proprietário da antiga Academia Rush, na capital baiana, no bairro Costa Azul. O estabelecimento era especializado em musculação e também oferecia aulas de artes marciais. Ele ajudou a revelar outros grandes nomes do esporte, como Yuri Carlton e Edilberto Crocotá, além do próprio Renato Velame.
Mussi também foi responsável por organizar importantes eventos de combate, como o Clube da Luta e o Bahia Combat, que ajudaram a popularizar as artes marciais no estado.

Torcedores do Peñarol se envolvem em confronto com a PM na orla do Rio antes do jogo contra o Botafogo
#newsonleo #sports #botafogo
De acordo com informações do RJ TV, um carrinho usado para guardar barracas e cadeiras de praia foi saqueado, e os paus das barracas foram usados como armas. Mesas e cadeiras de quiosques foram usados como escudo. As cenas de selvageria deixaram um rastro de destruição.
Bombas de efeito moral foram utilizadas, mas os uruguaios, em maior número. Por determinação do governo do Rio de Janeiro, os torcedores do Peñarol serão escoltados para fora da cidade. Antes eles foram encaminhados para a delegacia.
Comerciantes foram saqueados. Mais cedo, um uruguaio foi preso por um furto de celular que estava em um quiosque. Câmeras de segurança registraram o momento do furto (veja abaixo). O torcedor foi levado para 42ª DP e encaminhado à 16ª DP. Outras barracas que estavam na praia, além de carros e motos estacionados, foram danificados.
Nas imagens, não foi possível ver torcedor do Botafogo na confusão. O grupo uruguaio chegou até a praia com três ônibus de turismo, que ficaram estacionados. As pistas da orla (Av. Lúcio Costa) chegaram ser fechadas por várias vezes entre 12h e 12h40 devido à presença de torcedores no asfalto.
Esta não é a primeira vez que torcedores do Peñarol se envolvem em confusões quando o time vem jogar no Rio. Em setembro, houve uma briga na Praia da Macumba, bem próximo ao confronto desta quarta.
Em 2019, cerca de 100 torcedores do Peñarol foram detidos após confusão na orla do Leme, na Zona Sul. Um torcedor do Flamengo morreu.
Nota da PM sobre a confusão
A Assessoria de Imprensa da Secretaria de Estado de Polícia Militar informa que, no fim da manhã desta quarta-feira (23/10), durante o policiamento preventivo, os agentes do Batalhão Especializado em Policiamento de Estádios (BEPE) foram acionados para atender a um caso de furto de celular dentro de um estabelecimento comercial na Avenida Lúcio Costa, no Recreio dos Bandeirantes. Após buscas o aparelho foi localizado com um integrante da torcida e a ocorrência encaminhada à 16ª DP (Barra da Tijuca).
No início da tarde, torcedores do Peñarol iniciaram uma confusão com um grupo de pessoas, além de cometerem uma série de atos de vandalismo, incluindo saques e depredação de estabelecimentos comerciais e veículos na mesma região. Diante da gravidade da situação, policiais militares do Batalhão de Polícia de Choque (BPChq) foram acionados para conter o tumulto.
Equipes do Corpo de Bombeiros também foram ao local para conter os incêndios colocados em veículos. Os policiais controlaram a ação criminosa e mais de 200 indivíduos estão sendo conduzidos para a Cidade da Polícia. Até o momento, uma pistola foi apreendida.
Fernando Valenzuela, Dodgers legend who sparked 'Fernandomania,' dead at 63
Dodgers legend and six-time All-Star Fernando Valenzuela died on Tuesday night, Major League Baseball announced.
“Fernando Valenzuela was one of the most impactful players of his generation,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement on Tuesday night. “With his distinctive pitching style, the Dodgers left-hander’s rookie season generated so much excitement in the U.S. and his native Mexico that it became commonly referred to as ‘Fernandomania.’ His 1981 season ranks among the most decorated pitching years of all-time as Fernando was the National League Rookie of the Year, the NL Cy Young Award winner, a Silver Slugger and a World Series champion.
#sports #death #mlb #dodgers
After starting his professional career in Mexico, Valenzuela signed with the Dodgers in 1979 and made his MLB debut in 1980 at 19 years old.
“He is one of the most influential Dodgers ever and belongs on the Mount Rushmore of franchise heroes,” Stan Kasten, team president and CEO, said in a statement. “He galvanized the fan base with the Fernandomania season of 1981 and has remained close to our hearts ever since, not only as a player but also as a broadcaster. He has left us all too soon.”
Valenzuela truly burst onto the scene one year later, where he won the National League Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and made his first All-Star team, sweeping up Los Angeles in “Fernandomania” thanks to his dominant stuff and his unusual pitching style where he looked toward the sky during the middle of his windup.
“63 is way too young…. A piece of my childhood is gone,” actor and “Access Hollywood” co-host Mario Lopez posted on X. “Growing up as a Mexican kid one of the main reasons I’m a Dodgers fan is because of Fernando. … Not only a great player, but a great man to the community. What a legend.”

Source: Seahawks trade Jerome Baker, pick for Titans' Ernest Jones
The Seattle Seahawks are trading linebacker Jerome Baker and a fourth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for linebacker Ernest Jones IV, a source told ESPN's Brady Henderson on Wednesday.
It's the second trade set to be made by the Titans, who also are finalizing a trade of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
This is the second time Jones has been traded this year. The Titans acquired Jones from the Rams in August, sending a 2026 fifth-round pick to Los Angeles for Jones and a 2026 sixth-round selection.

Texans sign former Pro Bowl linebacker Devin White
The Houston Texans on Wednesday signed former Pro Bowl linebacker Devin White, who was released by the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this month.
The Eagles signed White to a one-year, $4 million contract in free agency but he was inactive for Philadelphia's first four games and then missed their fifth game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his former team, because of personal reasons.
A league source told ESPN's Tim McManus that the Eagles agreed to release him before the trade deadline so he wouldn't be subject to waivers and could pick his new team.
#nfl #texans #sports #devinwhite
White, 26, played his first five seasons with the Buccaneers, making the NFL All-Rookie Team in 2019. In 2020, he led the team with 140 combined tackles (97 solo) during the regular season, with 9 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and 4 passes defended. Then. in the postseason, despite missing the wild-card playoff game due to COVID-19, he led the Bucs with 38 combined postseason tackles (27 solo), 2 fumble recoveries and 2 interceptions, including a pick-six of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in Tampa Bay's Super Bowl LV victory.

Anthony Rizzo's broken fingers better before World Series
The days off between the ALCS and the World Series have been especially helpful for New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo as he continues to recover from two broken fingers on his right hand, the veteran said in a video call with reporters on Wednesday.
Rizzo, 37, played through pain in the Yankees' win over the Cleveland Guardians last round, hitting .429 during the five game series. Game 5 was on Saturday, giving Rizzo five full days of recovery time before the World Series begins against the Los Angeles Dodgers this Friday.
#anthonyrizzo #mlb #nyyankees #worldseries #sports
"The biggest thing is getting the swelling out," Rizzo explained. "Between games it blows up, just from the pressure. The bones are still broken but to be able to get the swelling out has been key. Hopefully in the series we'll be able to battle the best we can."
Rizzo was hit by a pitch at the end of the regular season forcing him to miss the ALDS, but he was added to the roster for the ALCS and performed beyond expectations. He was 6-for-14 with a double and two walks, seeing his first action in several weeks.
"I can't even believe it to be honest with you," teammate Austin Wells said. "It's a pretty incredible thing, to have two broken bones in your hand and go out there and do what he's been able to do. I don't have a lot of words for that. It shows how tough he is and the character that he has and his willingness to be out there and go through whatever it takes to help the team win."
Rizzo indicated the team has some "good medicine" to help him get through each game. He could be a key bat in the lower half of the Yankees' lineup as the Dodgers don't have a multitude of lefty relievers to use on him and fellow lefties Juan Soto, Alex Verdugo and Jazz Chisholm.

Naylor, Bieber among key offseason headlines for Guardians
Stephen Vogt lingered in the dugout after the season's final out, letting the moment fill him with both pain and purpose.
As the New York Yankees embraced on the field following their Game 5 win that clinched their first AL pennant since 2009 on Saturday night, Vogt, who in his first season as a major league manager took the Cleveland Guardians deeper into the postseason than anyone thought possible, watched.
He made himself a promise.
#guardians #mlb #cleveland #sports
"I want it next year and it's never going to stop driving me," Vogt said.
With the ALCS loss still stinging three days afterward, Vogt and Cleveland's top front office executives met media members on Tuesday to rehash the club's remarkable run in 2024 and discuss their plans to try and do it again.
There were plenty of names bandied about as the team looked ahead. What is the future of All-Star first baseman Josh Naylor? What about 2020 Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber?

EPL
Jack Wilshere joins Norwich City
Our former midfielder Jack rejoined us in July 2022 as Under-18s head coach and made an immediate impact, leading the team to the FA Youth Cup Final in his first full season in charge. Since returning to the club, Jack, who himself developed through our academy before making 197 senior appearances for the club, has been an influential figure for our young players at what is a crucial stage of their careers.
#newsonleo #sports #epl #football
Academy Manager Per Mertesacker said: “Jack’s development as a coach over the past two seasons has been really impressive. Jack has represented Arsenal in the best possible way, both as a player and in his role as an academy coach.
Jack has not only been a role model for our younger generation on the pitch – showing the young players the skills required at the highest level, but has also demonstrated every day how to be the best possible person.
“Of course, we are all sad to see Jack leave, but we are so proud that we have played a positive part in his development into the next stage of his career as a young coach. We wish Jack and his family well at Norwich City, and his many friends here will be keeping in close contact with him as his journey in coaching continues.”
Jack Wilshere said: “I’ve loved every minute of my time as Under-18s head coach and would like to thank Edu, Per, Mikel, my colleagues in the academy and everyone at the club for their fantastic support during my time in the role.
“As everyone knows, Arsenal is and always will be part of who I am, and the club means so much to me. However, this opportunity has come at the right time to progress my coaching career within a first-team environment.
“I have an incredibly special bond with the players and staff at Arsenal, and am so proud of the work we have done as a collective over the last two-and-a-half years. It’s been a privilege to have been involved in the development and progression of such a special group, and I’ll be continuing to watch and support from afar. The future is exciting both for the academy players and the club, and I know the group I’ve been working with will continue to progress and have the potential to achieve great things.
“I’d like to thank everyone at Arsenal Football Club for their support and understanding in my decision and wish everybody at the club the very best for the future. This club will always be close to my heart and for me, this is a ‘see you again’ rather than ‘goodbye’.”
We will make a further announcement regarding the appointment of our new Under-18s head coach shortly.

Young Gun: Andre Harriman-Annous
Our Young Gun series returns for 2024/25 as we get to know the academy youngsters kicking off their careers at Sobha Realty Training Centre.
#newsonleo #sports #epl #football #liverpool
Andre Harriman-Annous spoke to us recently, and here's what he had to say about growing up in Barnet, supporting Arsenal and more.
I grew up in Barnet and I started playing football in the park when I was four. My family background is African. My mum is from Nigeria and my dad is Ghanaian. When I was around five or six, I started to develop and I was playing for a local team called Whetstone Wanderers. At around seven I was scouted for the Tottenham pre-academy and I was there for a year or so, but then Arsenal and I’ve been here ever since, which is a dream come true because I’m an Arsenal fan!
I’ve always been an attacking player, mainly on the wing. Growing up I was told about Thierry Henry and how good he was. I’ve seen lots of footage of him online and the range of goals he’d score was incredible, he’s someone that I wanted to play like. But I’d say players that I loved watching for Arsenal at the time were Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. They were my idols. The first Arsenal game I went to was an away game at West Ham United for my birthday and that was an amazing experience. My mum convinced me to support Arsenal because my dad is a West Ham fan!
How I got into Arsenal is quite an interesting story because the scout initially came to watch somebody else but then my mum told me that he was looking at me. When I eventually got into Arsenal it was a very proud moment for me and my family. Ife Ibrahim and Sam Chapman also joined at the same time and it’s amazing to see that we’re all still here at Arsenal on our scholarships.
My highlights from my Hale End days were winning a futsal tournament by beating Chelsea in the final, and also winning the Liam Brady Cup in our last year at Hale End before moving to the Sobha Realty Training Centre full time. It was a sentimental moment because we left with some silverware. The best tour we had was Dubai – it was a surreal experience.
Before I was offered my scholarship I was pretty nervous because I was one of the last people to get an official decision. When they told me, I was relieved! I always believed I would get it but you just never know in these situations.
I started the season well with three goals and two assists in my first three games. The coaches have helped a lot. The training sessions are very bespoke and are intense, which really allow us to develop into better players. They’ve made the transition from Hale End to Sobha a seamless one and I’ve settled in very well.
Also, it helped that I had already played for the under-18s at the back end of last season so it wasn’t an entirely new environment for me. Plus coaches such as Adam Pilling and Adam Birchall, who I’ve known from my younger days in the Academy, are also here at Sobha.
I’ve trained with the first team four or five times. It’s very intense, for sure – that’s one of the main differences. But they really support you and get to know you after a while. Jorginho is someone who’s very encouraging and, because he’s a bit older, he gives me good advice and tips to improve my game. From a coaching perspective, I’d say that Albert Stuivenberg has also been very encouraging to me too.
I’ve got an older brother named Brandon, who is a couple of years older than me and currently at Hull City, and he has guided me a lot because he was also at Arsenal until the under-14s. So he’d give me insight into what I should expect as I get older. Maro Itoje who plays professional rugby for Saracens and England is my cousin, so I’ve also spoken to him at times about what it takes to make it in pro sport. Also, friends like Myles Lewis-Skelly and Josh Nichols help me too – I’m tight with them and they’ve been with the first team a lot recently.
Before a game I always need to sleep on the coach – it just helps me get prepared! I have to step on the pitch with my right foot and my shinpads are always the last thing I put on before I go on the pitch. My socks have to always be cut. I can’t play without them.
My goals for this season are playing in the UEFA Youth League and then, towards the end of the season, I want to get some appearances for the under-21s side.
