« I’ve been here for ten days. I was well received and, for the moment, everything is going well. I am very happy to join this great club. In the voice of Malick Mbaye a hint of shyness. Corn also has an indefinite determination. The one that allows you to make your « dreams a reality ».

« To get here, I had to overcome a lot of obstacles, » says the young striker, who will turn nineteen on April 6. “These are years of work and sacrifice. Strength is a new life…

Passed by Paris Saint-Germain between 1997 and 2007, Edouard Ciss lived with great disappointment the elimination of the capital club against Bayern Munich (0-1, 0-2) in the knockout stages of the League of Champions. At the time of the first tickets, the former midfielder pointed to a Parisian workforce that he considers too limited to hope to postpone the C1.

« PSG has one of the biggest budgets in Europe and there is no solution on the bench. Bayern brought in Man, San, Gnabry, Cancelo. Paris was Ekitike! Marquinhos played then that he wasn’t 100%, Mukiele came in without warming up and got tired and, behind, you put a 17-year-old kid who doesn’t have the level to be there (Bitshiabu). you can only bring in Zare-Emery, who is the age of my daughter, he was born in 2006! You really have to ask yourself questions and stop the bullshit, « launched Ciss for L’Equipe.

The native of Pau also mentioned the lack of impact of Parisian players: « The environment must stimulate, create things. I don’t like to shoot at ambulances, but there is no one to make an impact, recover the ball high on the pitch… Opposite, Goretzka-Kimmich, has nothing to see. Both have recovered the balls from the two Bayern goals. PSG must ask themselves questions. The only player who answers in the impact is Danilo, he is essential, when he was mocked for a while. »

Wounds, Wounds…and more Wounds. The fan’s life Sao Paulo over the past 3 seasons he has been even more worried about injured players than about potential threats from opponents.

In 2023, the situation was perhaps the most critical of recent times in Morumbi, with the team accumulating dozens of absences, including surgical and muscular cases, in each match, further complicating Rogério’s life. Ceni, who even had 14 absences in a single match Paulista Championship.

The most injury-prone side in the country’s top flight, Sao Paulo certainly didn’t have that expectation, all the more so under Julio Casares.

Also in 2021, with already a high number of injuries, Casares renamed the sector Medical Excellence Division (DEM), adding « Plus » to the name of the former Reffis, in addition to bringing more modern equipment to the department.

At the beginning of the century, Reffis was considered something of the last generation, where São Paulo often used the injury recovery center to recover reinforcements, as were the cases of Luizão, Adriano Imperador, Ricardo Oliveira, among others. .

Currently, the resumption of blessed athletes is the club’s biggest problem, with many not leaving Refis or going straight to the operating table.

For the quarter-finals of Paulista Championship Against Água Santa next Monday at the Allianz Parque, there could be around 10 absences for Rogério Ceni: Rafinha, Igor Vinícius, Moreira, Arboleda, Ferraresi, André Anderson, Talles Costa, Calleri, Erison, Pedrinho, Beraldo and Gaius . Arboleda, Beraldo and Erison on the dependence of chances to at least stay on the bench.

According to a survey carried out by historian Alexandre Giesbrecht, of the « Anotações Tricolores », the last time the tricolor had the DM completely emptied was in April 2022. And the list of injured should not stop if early, since there are cases of medizinlike those of Moreira, Talles Costa and perhaps Igor Vinícius, which do not have a return date.

What does São Paulo say about excess injuries?

“Series We have professionals. Even Rogério Ceni mentioned the important reforms the other day. So we changed the structure, we improved a lot. Today, Alexandre Pato trains here and has praised the structure a lot. What is happening is that we have to observe is the structuring of a table, of a calendar. We have a very wet ground, we are in a pre-season. And there’s a lot of trauma. It should be understood that the medical service is a consequence. The player is injured in the game. or in training. And the DM receives the athlete. The athlete is a patient. And each patient reacts in a way. We also have the vision that when we propose a surgical intervention, we must also respect the clinical side of the patient’s posture. . All this is what São Paulo does with great professionalism. The other day, I was talking to Moisés Cohen, Federation medicine. And he said he has reported the increase in injuries in this Paulista Championship. It could be the start of the season, I It could be due to bad fields that are very soggy. Sao Paulo is quiet. Which department of medical excellence produces everything,” said Julio Casares, president of São Paulo, in an interview with ESPN.

“First you have the technical problem of images, of resonance. Then, before having an evaluation. If the athlete has a recommendation for surgery, but there’s a chance they can’t operate conventionally, let’s try. The operation is always invasive. Of course, responsibly, with the consent of the athlete. São Paulo does not come out of operation. Unless it’s a ligament injury, which has nothing to do with it. But an injury or other that may merit a conventional attempt, it’s worth it for the athlete’s career, his recovery. The decision to have surgery or not is an agreement between the medical field, physical preparation, physiology, physiotherapy and the athlete himself. Calleri, for example, is trying to recover without needing an operation and we want him to recover. If there is a conclusion that surgery is the way to go, we will talk to him. But he’s very excited. »

treatment preservative

The term has been used frequently by the club’s medical department in recent times. And when I call that he would try conservative treatment for his ankle injury, surely fans started to worry because of examples that haven’t worked lately.

Diego Costa and Luan are cases that underwent treatment, did not have the proposed result and underwent surgery. Rafinha is currently in this process due to an ankle injury and does not have a return date. Igor Vinícius, meanwhile, suffered pubalgia last year, underwent treatment and is now considering surgery after injuring the area again.

Andre Anderson arrived on loan from Lazio mid last year and has played just 12 times for the club, the last of them in November 2022. The midfielder is almost always part of the malfeasance with muscle aches.

A revelation from Cotia, Walce returned to play in 2023 on loan at Juventude after 3 years away due to 3 knee surgeries which failed to solve the athlete’s cruciate ligament problem. At the beginning of the year, São Paulo chose to transfer the defense to the Rio Grande do Sul team precisely so that he could resume his career.

Ceni’s suffering

With more than a dozen injured, Rogério Ceni has not had it easy in the task of rebuilding the club alongside the current board. During the match against Botafogo-SP last Sunday, the coach had to play with improvisations from the centre-forward (Galoppo), defender (Pablo Maia) and full-back (Caio Paulista).

Even with reinforcements more in line with his playing philosophy, Ceni isn’t much of the squad available to him to train and choose the team he would like in matches.

« Unfortunately, there are a large number of players with injuries that are not muscular. When you have 11 players out, it weighs on us. Slowly we are strengthening the team. It is not enough to have the player. He you have to have them, the old ones and leave them in the best conditions, ”said the Ceni, after the end of the paulista group stage.

“In general we can perform better, but to perform well we need to have everyone able to train. We will have greater competition, greater quality », analyzed the coach, after the victory over saints a Morumbi.

When FC Bayern host PSG next Wednesday, they will also have to deal with the Parisian top scorer. Because Kylian Mbappé has just rocked against Nantes on a last minute goal.

In the 92nd minute, the 24-year-old (!!!) put the ball in the net and now has 201 goals for PSG and ahead of Edinson Cavani.

And the best part is: with us in the One(Site notre blog d’information) app, ‘DAZN’ also shows you the best moments!

Accumulating most of the game with only 35% possession in their favor, FC Barcelona still managed to win on the field of Real Madrid (1-0) this Thursday in the semi-final first leg of the Cup you are king Blaugrana captain Sergio Busquets (34 years old, 30 games in all competitions this season) explained that the unusually defensive style of his team did not really correspond to a choice.

« We would have liked to have more possession, to have more control of the ball during the match, but they pressed us well, estimated the midfielder in front of the media. We were able to compete, the team did a lot of physical work « , we were very united. They, despite the fact that they had control of the ball and possession, they did not have a clear chance of but. We managed to score this but which gives us a small advantage for the return match. »

Despite this style, which is totally out of step with its usual philosophy, Bara proved to be effective as a counter team.

RCaught by controversy and accusations of moral and sexual harassment, the president of the French (Site notre blog d’information) Federation (FFF) Noël Le Graët resigned on Tuesday, after a reign of 11 years and several months of stubbornness which tarnished his balance sheet.

At the headquarters of « 3F », a great page in French (Site notre bureau spécialisé) is turning with the departure of the 81-year-old entrepreneur, weakened for months by an overwhelming audit mission and several slippages.

Always so unpredictable and unfathomable, the « Menhir » of French (Site notre bureau spécialisé), president of the League from 1991 to 2000 then of the FFF since 2011, was slow to hand over, 13 days after the communication of an audit report commissioned by the Ministry of Sports.

But the conclusions of the General Inspectorate of Education, Sport and Research (IGESR) left no room for maneuver to the Breton.

According to the inspectors, Le Graët « no longer has the necessary legitimacy to administer and represent French (Site notre bureau spécialisé) », taking into account in particular his « inappropriate behavior (…) vis-à-vis women ». “NLG” has also been targeted since mid-January by an investigation for moral and sexual harassment.

Resign to « better defend yourself »

« Through his decision, he has shown once again that he is a great leader of French (Site notre bureau spécialisé) », reacted Philippe Diallo, vice-president who will now act in the interim, at least until the federal assembly of 10 June. « His decision allows the Federation to continue its march forward and at Noël Le Graët to better defend itself », according to him.

Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, at the origin of the audit mission, an estimate of Graët had taken « the right decision for the FFF and for himself », in a statement sent to AFP.

At the federation’s Paris headquarters, the executive committee analyzed the conclusions of the IGESR audit for the first time. He also singled out the body, in particular for its policy of combating gender-based and sexual violence, which « lacks effectiveness and efficiency » according to the inspectors.

In a press release, the FFF denounced a report having « sometimes led to a disproportionate denigration of the body », regretting a « lack of real contradictory procedure ».

The “Fédée” joined its ex-president here: he too had criticized, via his lawyers, an audit mission “resembling an indictment”, subjected “to political and media pressure which could only bias it” .

Ineluctable, the exit of Noël Le Graët was accompanied by tributes for the « sporting and economic record » of the leader, to whom we attribute the recovery of the « 3F » after the scandal of the World Cup-2010 in South Africa .

The amateur (Site notre bureau spécialisé) league, for example, says the « sense of responsibility » of Noël Le Graët, does not choose « the opening of prospects for emerging from the crisis ».

Deacon’s future decided quickly

This exit from the crisis is still likely to be turbulent.

The president of the League of Paris-Ile-de-France, Jamel Sandjak, has already accentuated the vagueness by resigning in recent days from the executive committee, while many lend him presidential ambitions. The former boss of the Professional League Frédéric Thiriez, historical opponent of Le Graët, also claimed to AFP that « the departure of a man will not solve all the problems ».

The threat of an early dismissal of the Comex by the Federal Assembly continues to weigh, even if that would require that a quarter of its members, in the local clubs, leagues and districts, jointly request the convening of a Inc.

Tuesday, in any case, the Comex displayed its unity: no other member wished to resign individually.

As for Le Graët, he intends to continue his work at Fifa, as delegate of President Gianni Infantino in Paris. A position he has held since January 2022.

At the heart of these debates, the staff of the « Fédée » has created a commission of four members to study the future of Corinne Deacon. The new utility selection of the France team is fragile after the withdrawal of three happy families Wendie Renard, Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto, critics of its management.

At a time of the world cut in Australia and New Zealand (July 20-August 20), the crisis seems insoluble. Decisions are made within « eight or 15 days », warned Philippe Diallo.

“It was a closed house game. I was waiting in front of the training center hoping to see the players at the exit. As he drove by, he asked me what I was doing there. Shortly after, he told the guards to let me through to watch the game. Armand, a young 16-year-old supporter, will never forget this afternoon in January 2022. He was able to measure, on that day, all the humanity of Carlo Molinari.

Humanity, a word that often returns to the evocation of the native of Villerupt. The vice-president of FC Metz, who celebrates his 90th birthday on Tuesday, is a man who marks by his benevolence, his attention for others. “At the club headquarters, he goes to say hello to everyone. He asks me for…
