O São Paulo tinha no Campeonato Paulista uma grande oportunidade para acabar com a fila e começar a se recolocar nos eixos, mas conseguiu a proeza de ser eliminado em casa por um Mirassol remendado, naquele que já é considerado por muitos o pior dos vários vexames acumulados nos últimos anos.
É praticamente impossível encontrar uma justificativa plausível para a derrota por 3 a 2. Se o São Paulo foi prejudicado pelo hiato de quatro meses na competição, o que dizer do Mirassol, que perdeu 16 atletas no período e se reconstruiu do jeito que deu? Se o período sem futebol prejudicou o entrosamento entre os jogadores do Tricolor, como explicar o desempenho de Zé Roberto, inscrito na terça-feira e autor dos dois primeiros gols da equipe visitante no Morumbi?

Independentemente de qualquer contexto, uma comparação rápida entre os dois elencos já evidencia que esta eliminação é inconcebível. É claro que o Mirassol do promissor Ricardo Catalá tem muitos méritos, mas essa história é muito mais sobre incapacidade do São Paulo do que qualquer outra coisa.
Um papelão como este coloca em xeque a ideia de continuidade que o clube decidiu abraçar para 2020 após anos e anos de mudanças constantes e geralmente desastradas no elenco, na comissão técnica e, até a chegada de Raí em 2018, na diretoria de futebol, ainda mais se levado em conta que a gestão Leco termina em dezembro, não há mais como ganhar um título antes disso (todos os campeonatos, exceto o Estadual, invadirão 2021) e a situação financeira do clube é muito ruim.
Para onde o São Paulo será conduzido agora? A prioridade será tapar os buracos no caixa e entregar um clube mais saudável financeiramente ao próximo presidente, o que significaria desmontar o elenco com vendas de jovens valores, para encher o caixa, e saída de medalhões, para enxugar a folha? Ou a ideia será disputar Brasileiro, Libertadores e Copa do Brasil com foco no título, mantendo a base deste elenco? E, sendo assim, será que é possível almejar algum desses troféus sem contratar mais ninguém?
Quanto ao treinador, não parece haver muita dúvida. A diretoria mantém o seu respaldo a Fernando Diniz e não cogita substituí-lo neste momento, mas o fracasso retumbante dessa quarta-feira também coloca interrogações sobre seu trabalho – que era bom e promissor em 2020 até que as competições fossem paralisadas.
O primeiro gol do Mirassol é sintoma de equipe mal treinada. Zé Roberto se colocou na entrada da área para aguardar a cobrança de escanteio e avançou sem ser incomodado para cabecear. Não havia sequer um jogador posicionado para esperar um rebote, muito menos alguém preocupado em marcá-lo. O segundo gol escancara um problema que ficou bem evidente neste retorno do Paulistão: o São Paulo joga muito exposto aos contra-ataques e precisa correr atrás do adversário, o que pode ser fatal quando um de seus laterais é Juanfran, que não tem a velocidade como principal valência (aliás, que partida terrível do espanhol!).
Já o terceiro gol, uma trapalhada generalizada protagonizada principalmente por Volpi e Arboleda, veio logo depois da substituição que já está para lá de manjada: sai um zagueiro (no caso, Bruno Alves), entra um atacante (Everton, assumindo a ala esquerda) e Reinaldo vai para a zaga. Parece ser a única alternativa encontrada pelo técnico diante da ineficiência de suas opções mais imediatas no banco, como Helinho e Hernanes.
Ofensivamente, o São Paulo voltou da pausa sendo uma equipe menos intensa, mais fácil de ser marcada. No segundo tempo, o Mirassol se retraiu em seu campo e deixou a bola com o Tricolor, que não conseguiu ser agudo em nenhum momento.
Enfim, uma atuação bizarra que escancara fragilidades em praticamente todos os setores e deixa dúvidas: será que toda a evolução mostrada pelo São Paulo entre janeiro e março foi por água abaixo e será preciso trabalhar tudo de novo? O torcedor encontrará essas respostas no Brasileirão, a partir de 9 de agosto, se ainda tiver ânimo e paciência para acompanhar o time.

Em entrevista dada ao canal do YouTube ‘De Olho no Jogo’, o presidente do Coritiba, Samir Namur, admitiu que o clube continua observando a situação do atacante colombiano Orlando Berrío, do Flamengo.
Entretanto, o mandatário do Verdão admite que a situação não é tão simples pelo fato de que o atleta, de 29 anos de idade, gostaria de sair do clube carioca com um contrato em definitivo, e não somente por empréstimo.
Além disso, Samir também pontuou que existe o interesse de Berrío em retornar à Colômbia, algo que inviabilizaria a transação independente do aspecto financeiro.
-Berrío esteve no radar e por mais de uma vez foi tentado. Continua no nosso radar, mas a situação é um pouco complicada. Envolve o atleta, seu agente. Berrío não gostaria de sair emprestado do Flamengo, sim com um contrato novo. Aí teria dificuldades para rescindir lá. Um acerto de valores entre Coritiba e Flamengo seria a parte fácil. Berrío pode ser que aconteça, é um atleta que não é brasileiro, tem a vontade de voltar a atuar na Colômbia, enfim, são questões complicadas, mas ele continua no radar porque o Coritiba quer um reforço para esta posição.

ScorecardDarren Stevens was one of four Kent players to pass 50 (file photo)•Getty Images
Dogged by bad weather and unplayable conditions that wiped out six of their first eight days action in this summer’s County Championship, Kent have seemingly decided to take their frustrations out on Glamorgan. At the mid-point of this, their first home game of the campaign, Kent look well set for their first victory against their winless opposition.After banking a 224-run first innings lead and five batting bonus points, Kent picked up the wicket of Jacques Rudolph for a duck in the final half-hour of the day leaving the visitors on 16 for 1 at stumps and facing a mountain to climb simply to save the game.Resuming on their overnight score of 124 without loss, Kent batted on throughout the majority of a cloudy and chilly Bank Holiday Monday, with Tom Latham, Joe Denly, Darren Stevens and Mitch Claydon adding half-centuries to the one Daniel Bell-Drummond scored on Sunday.After an opening stand of 131, their best for three seasons, Kent lost overseas player Latham and top-scorer Bell-Drummond in quick succession and to near-identical dismissals. Both will have been disappointed by hard-handed, leaden-footed, back-foot pokes that resulted in catches behind the wicket.Two down at lunch, Kent lost 3 for 6 inside six overs after the resumption as Glamorgan’s seamers took advantage of the cloudy overhead conditions. But with the floodlights on, Kent’s middle order began to shine in the form of an enterprising sixth-wicket stand of 78 between Stevens and understudy keeper Adam Rouse.Stevens broke the stranglehold of Michael Hogan, the pick of Glamorgan’s attack with 4 for 91, and Craig Meschede, with some belligerent hitting on his way to a 58-ball fifty. Stevens hit three sixes, including a mammoth pull shot that landed in the construction site near the Old Dover Road that will become retirement flats by next June. A new ball was needed.Rouse and Stevens fell in quick succession with their side almost 100 ahead, but Kent were by no means finished as Claydon and Matt Coles joined forces to take up Stevens’ mantle.Though he was dropped on 5, Claydon’s lusty back-foot smears resulted in a fourth first-class fifty from 47 balls, while Coles also cleared the ropes in his cameo 29 only to perish to the very next delivery. Swinging his not inconsiderable weight off his own feet, he was almost fully prone by the time his middle stump went cartwheeling.In the day’s final exchanges and with drizzle in the air, Rudolph pushed hesitantly inside the line of a Stevens’ legcutter to feather a catch to the keeper and depart without scoring. The rain strengthened forcing an early finish to spare Glamorgan from further punishment.

Daren Ganga has produced an interactive coaching DVD to help youngsters fast-track their development and assist coaches and parents in enhancing their knowledge of the game

Daren Ganga’s DVD on cricket coaching will be available from the end of September•Daren Ganga Foundation
It is very common for just-retired cricketers to make careers in the media as commentators, or take to coaching by qualifying themselves or setting up coaching academies. Daren Ganga, the former West Indies batsman, is involved in both, though with a difference. Aside from his commentary commitments, Ganga has produced an interactive coaching DVD to help youngsters fast-track their development and assist coaches and parents in enhancing their knowledge of the game.The product, launched on July 23 at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port-of-Spain, is backed by the Daren Ganga Foundation, a charitable organisation started by Ganga in 2007 to help kids from less-privileged backgrounds to find their way in cricket. The DVD, titled ‘The Fundamentals’, is to be the first volume in a series of Ganga’s coaching DVDs. It contains sections covering batting, bowling, fielding, wicketkeeping, pitch and equipment, players and fielding positions, officials. The instructional video uses animation, live action videography, in-studio demonstrations and interviews. There are tips in the form of video with current and former West Indies players, including Curtly Ambrose, Ian Bishop, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, umpire Billy Doctrove, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Anisa Mohammed from the women’s team.The idea was conceived two years ago, when Ganga was involved in a scholarship cricket program for children part of his foundation. While researching on the available coaching material, he discovered that there were several videos focusing on specific components of the game, such as captaincy and fielding. He then set about producing his own product that would “encapsulate all aspects of the game.” That, and the presence of experts offering tips, is the DVD’s USP.”I recognised that I can’t be there all the time but I have done a lot of networking in terms of cricketers,” Ganga told ESPNcricinfo over phone from Trinidad. “I had access to a lot of information and wanted to set up a more accessible medium for these young cricketers.”The Daren Ganga Foundation
The inspiration to make a difference to the community and start the Daren Ganga Foundation came from a man who touched millions in his struggle and victory for human rights and racial equality. While on his first senior tour with West Indies in 1998-99, Daren Ganga got an unexpected phone call from Nelson Mandela. It was the first official Test tour by a West Indies team to South Africa and Mandela expressed his pleasure by speaking to Ganga, the youngest member of that side. “The phone call changed my life,” Ganga later said.
Based in San Fernando, Trinidad, the DGF was founded in 2007 and launched in 2009 to help children from less-fortunate problems fulfil their potential. Kids who show an above average extra-curricular talent are selected through the Ministry of Education and other official channels. After a process of screening and selection, 15-20 are put on three-year scholarships in the fields of sports, music, and the arts. Sports camps are organised, including one in August for cricket and football. A flagship event is the annual golf tournament, held on Glorious Saturday. The most recent edition was held on April 19 and one of the participants was Brian Lara. All proceeds earned from the tournament go towards the scholarship program. Ganga is the executive chairman and his brothers, Sheldon and Sherwin, play an active role in the foundation.
There is a personal background to the project, Ganga’s life story itself. Ganga himself hailed from humble origins in rural Barrackpore, in south Trinidad. The community cricket matches shaped his interest in the game, but in order to take his game forward, he rarely had access to proper coaching. He admits that a lot of his early learning came via trial and error and expert advice was hard to come by. That changed as his cricket progressed to age-group level for Trinidad, but in the process, he had to “unlearn” a lot of things he had picked up in his early years.Ganga says the purpose of his coaching series is to help youngsters pick up the fundamentals at the formative years. “When I looked back at my early years I recognised that I had no access to the people who knew the fundamentals of the game,” Ganga said. “This DVD will resolve these issues some of these kids have. I had to go through a process of unlearning at different stages. Mind you, I started playing at first-class level at 17 and international level at 19. My period of development was shorter than what most people go through. Therefore I had to spend a lot of time developing my game while I was playing at the top level and learning things I should have picked up when I was younger.”The purpose of this DVD is for youngsters to shorten their timespan of development and to avoid the process of unlearning. I realised that if I had access to this info earlier, I think my performances would have been a lot better than what it was.”While several West Indies legends, like Viv Richards, had no formal coaching in their early years and yet succeeded at the highest level, Ganga said they were fortunate to develop their skills by playing league and county cricket in England, and also by learning off each other.Ganga’s cricket advanced when he was under Brian Lara’s wing. This is where the presence of the experts in the video is vital, says Ganga, to bridge the gap. “Nowadays, access to all these players of yesteryear is very limited and more so in a rural community,” Ganga said. The experts go beyond the mere technical details and also touch on the mental side of the game.”Chanderpaul talks about keeping his eyes on the ball, his preparation, working on the short ball, defence, taking the time to train and the art of batting for long periods,” Ganga said. “He was from a humble beginning and he spoke about his difficulties getting the right equipment and how his mom used to collect cloth from the community and stuff it together to make a thigh pad. Despite those challenges he was able to conquer it.”Speaking of challenges, Ganga had to deal with a few in producing the DVD. Aside from the exhaustive research, funding was the biggest hurdle. Money had to be taken from the foundation to meet production costs and pay for access to cricket venues for filming.The foundation is seeking corporate sponsorship to offset production and distribution costs, and fund the remaining DVDs in the series. The next volume will explain the game at the advanced level. With the immense popularity of T20 cricket, particularly in the region with the success of the CPL, Ganga says the next volume will explain the various skills associated with the format, such as playing attacking shots.The mental side of the game will also be covered in greater detail, once the viewer masters the fundamentals.The DVD will be available in stores in the region from the end of September and online bookings can be made via the foundation’s website. Ganga says he is hoping to tie up with e-commerce giants like Amazon to sell the product internationally.
