Portugal empata na Rússia

Futebol Fem. - Seleção A

Igualdade a zero impede a Equipa das Quinas de se apurar para o Europeu 2022.



Portugal empatou, esta terça-feira, diante da Rússia, a zero, na segunda-mão do play-off. Desta forma, a Equipa das Quinas fica afastada do Europeu de 2022, que se realiza em Inglaterra.

Frente a uma adversária melhor classificada no ranking FIFA e em desvantagem na eliminatória, depois do desaire por 1-0 sofrido na sexta-feira, em Lisboa, Portugal sabia que a tarefa não era fácil mas apenas uma coisa interessava: vencer o jogo em solo russo, de forma a poder repetir a presença em 2017, no Campeonato da Europa.



RECORDE AS INCIDÊNCIAS DA PARTIDA.

Portugal entrou determinado em virar o resultado da primeira mão, encostando, muitas vezes, as russas ao último terço do terreno de jogo, de forma a tentar encontrar espaços e explorar fragilidades defensivas. Contudo, na primeira parte, foram as russas a dispôr das melhores oportunidades de golo, mas o desacerto adversário bem como a guardiã portuguesa Inês Pereira e as jogadoras de campo iam mantendo a baliza de Portugal inviolável, mantendo as esperanças portuguesas vivas.



No segundo tempo a história foi outra e Portugal voltou a tomar conta do encontro, mas a dispor de mais oportunidades, fruto do maior caudal ofensivo de que dispunha. As comandadas de Francisco Neto iam tentando, de todas as formas, aproximar-se da baliza russa.

A seleção da Rússia ainda assustou com uma bola à barra pela lateral Abdullina, após um desvio de Inês Pereira. Na última metade do segundo tempo, Portugal aproveitou um baixar de linhas da formação adversária para impor o seu poderio ofensivo. Dolores Silva, aos 70 minutos, dispôs da melhor situação de golo, com um remate fortíssimo à entrada da área, mas a bola foi defendida de forma fantástica pela guardiã adversária.

Até ao final do encontro, Portugal carregou mas não conseguiu materializar a sua superioridade em golos. A boa exibição portuguesa não permitiu atingir os objetivos pretendidos, mas deixou, simultaneamente, boas indicações e esperanças de que o futuro será repleto de sucessos.

Francisco Neto: "Os pormenores fizeram a diferença"

Futebol Fem. - Seleção A

Declarações do Selecionador Nacional após o empate desta terça-feira frente à Rússia.



Francisco Neto em discurso direto:

"Estamos tristes e desiludidos, não conseguimos concretizar o nosso grande objetivo, que era estar no Campeonato da Europa. Tudo fizemos para que isso acontecesse.

Foi um jogo muito difícil, muito equilibrado, no qual os pormenores fizeram a diferença. Procurámos arriscar ao máximo, mas, infelizmente, não conseguimos concretizar as oportunidades que tivemos e não conseguimos o apuramento.

Quero deixar uma palavra às nossas jogadoras. Ousámos sonhar e trabalhar para concretizar os nossos objetivos. Estou muito orgulhoso por tudo o que elas fizeram em todo o apuramento e, especialmente, neste 'play-off'.

Estamos em crescimento, somos cada vez mais competitivos, disputamos todos os jogos sem medo de ninguém e isso é uma marca de qualidade da jogadora portuguesa. É um trabalho que vem sendo feito pela Federação Portuguesa de Futebol (FPF) e tenho a certeza de que isto foi apenas um percalço e vamos continuar a lutar pela presença nas fases finais das grandes competições."

Felizes das que rematam à baliza

Depois do desaire por 0-1 no Estádio do Restelo, Portugal não conseguiu dar a volta à eliminatória perante a Rússia e falhou o apuramento para o Campeonato da Europa de 2022. A equipa lusa empatou sem golos em Moscovo, num jogo com parecenças ao encontro da primeira mão.

O selecionador nacional, Francisco Neto, manteve o 4x4x2 losango em prática, mas fez algumas alterações. Na baliza, Patrícia Morais deu o lugar a Inês Pereira e a regressada Jéssica Silva saltou diretamente para o onze inicial, tendo assumido o lugar de Carolina Mendes e feito dupla atacante com Francisca Nazareth. Numa outra mudança tática em relação ao primeiro jogo, Cláudia Neto trocou diretamente com Andreia Norton e jogou mais próxima da baliza contrária, ao passo que a jogadora do SC Braga recuou no terreno.



Portugal, à semelhança do primeiro jogo, entrou bem e teve 20 minutos de qualidade. A equipa portuguesa, em bloco médio/alto, conseguiu forçar algumas perdas de bola das russas e conseguiu ter uma circulação de bola confortável a toda a largura do campo, ao mesmo tempo que conseguiu ligar algumas vezes por dentro com Cláudia Neto e até com Francisca Nazareth, que recuou em múltiplas ocasiões para procurar jogo.

A melhor jogada de Portugal em toda a eliminatória

Com o avançar do relógio, a Rússia ajustou o posicionamento. As russas colocaram um bloco mais baixo, para tirar a profundidade à seleção portuguesa, e ao mesmo tempo compacto, de forma a fechar o corredor central. A seleção portuguesa foi forçada a jogar na periferia e por lá ficou durante todo o resto do encontro. O abuso do cruzamento foi evidente e ao mesmo tempo pouco eficaz quer pelo facto da Rússia possuir uma guarda-redes e defesas centrais imponentes no jogo aéreo, quer pelo facto das duas avançadas lusas – Jéssica Silva e Francisca Nazareth – possuírem características que as tornam jogadoras móveis e com capacidade de dar largura e não referências na área.





Nesta última situação, Andreia Jacinto até tem linha de passe totalmente aberta para Fátima Pinto, mas não deixa de ser notória a presença de várias atletas russas na zona da bola para executar uma rápida pressão na portadora. Isto aconteceu em vários momentos e foi o segredo para as russas trancarem a zona central. Como se pode ver na segunda imagem, a linha de passe para Cláudia Neto está fechada e não resta outra opção a Andreia Jacinto que não o passe para trás ou para o lado, nenhum deles um passe progressivo.

De um modo geral, Portugal teve bons momentos durante a eliminatória, nomeadamente os primeiros 20/25 minutos de cada um dos jogos. Contudo, mesmo nessas alturas teve dificuldade em criar situações de golo e rematou muito pouco à baliza. A partir daí, a Rússia ajustou o bloco defensivo e levou o jogo para uma dimensão onde se sente confortável, a física, sendo que Portugal não conseguiu contornar esse aspeto.

Women's Euro 2022 power rankings: breaking down all 16 finalists


Clockwise from top left: Laia Aleixandri of Spain, Sjoeke Nüsken and Paulina Krumbiegel of Germany, Danielle van de Donk of Netherlands, Nilla Fischer of Sweden, and Kenza Dali of France.

After a round of games that included surprises in the friendlies and confirmed the final 16, we look at how the teams shape up

1) Germany

Europe's most successful team made light work of Australia and Norway and with six different goal scorers across the two games their threat is evident. They will have a point to prove next summer with the reigning Olympic champions having failed to qualify for this summer's Games because they did not get beyond the quarter-final stage of the 2019 World Cup. However, conceding goals against top-10 teams (and the 11th in the case of Norway) – two to Australia, one against Norway and twice in a defeat against the Netherlands in February – will be a concern.

2) Netherlands

The Dutch have dropped below Germany in the race for the European title they hold only because of their surprise 1-0 defeat against Spain. The loss may perhaps says more about the progress of Spain as the Netherlands, finalists at the 2019 World Cup, dismantled Australia 5-0. There were five different players on the scoresheet and none of them was the record goalscorer Vivianne Miedema.

3) Sweden

An 87th-minute penalty for Megan Rapinoe denied the Swedes a win against the world champions USA, which would have been a first defeat in 22 games for them. Third at the World Cup in France and runners-up at the Brazil Olympics, in their next game, against Poland, a rejigged lineup was made to work hard. Sweden came from behind to win 4-2 and conceding twice after goals from the impressive Wolfsburg forward Ewa Pajor is not something about which to be too embarrassed.

4) France

Hampered by the overwhelming majority of players from the European champions Lyon having to isolate, the stand-ins stepped up and showed their value to the team. A 3-1 defeat of England may have been followed by a 2-0 loss against USA but this was a good opportunity for the under-fire manager Corinne Diacre to see the non-Lyon players tested against the best.

5) Spain

Their World Cup performances showed the growth the football in the country and the narrow defeat against USA in the last 16 was one of the best games of the tournament. The fluidity of Barcelona's play as they eliminated Manchester City from the Champions League is reflected in the performances of the national team. Their defeat and clean sheet against a potent Netherlands side also showcased the solid defensive base that Jorge Vilda has built.

6) England

A thoroughly disappointing window for the hosts of next summer's Euros. The 3-1 defeat against a patchwork France side and calamitous goals conceded in a 2-0 defeat by Canada despite a squad dripping with quality highlights the scale of the job that the Netherlands manager, Sarina Wiegman, has when she joins after the Olympics. England's record against the world's top sides has been poor and the performances against lower-ranked sides have also been worrying.

7) Norway

There were positives to take from the 3-1 defeat against Germany. Chelsea's Guro Reiten gave them the lead in the fourth minute for example, but the Norwegians need to add clean sheets in their games against teams ranked in the top 10 in the world in order to step up into that pack. The comfortable 2-0 defeat of Belgium once again showed they can do that against the rest.

8) Denmark

A goal from the European player of the year Pernille Harder to draw her level with the record goalscorer Merete Pedersen was not enough to give the Danes a win against Wales, ranked 17 places below them, after Jess Fishlock finished off a wonderful team goal to level the scores. Runners-up at the 2017 Euros, Denmark could be a dark horse next year after missing the World Cup (in part because of forfeiting a qualifier against Sweden in a pay dispute with the Danish FA).

9) Italy

Many neutrals were endeared by the battling and incisive performances of the Italians at the World Cup. A solid Euro qualifying campaign in which they qualified as a best group runner-up continues their growth. A narrow win and a draw in a pair of friendlies against Iceland is a warning that Milene Bertolini's side cannot grow complacent.

10) Belgium

Having qualified top of their group, Belgium have performed confidently against Europe's minnows and some middling sides. A heavy defeat against the Netherlands and 2-0 defeat by Germany in February showed they are not ready to compete with the best yet. The failed to score against Norway in this window and a 14th-minute goal from Tine de Caigny (the top scorer in Euro qualifying with 12 goals) was all that could separate them from the Republic of Ireland.


Belgium's Kassandra Missipo in action against Norway.

11) Switzerland

After two gritty score draws the Swiss overcame the Czech Republic on penalties to make the Euros. After missing their first two penalties in the shootout their chances looked bleak but goals from Everton's Alisha Lehmann, Arsenal's Lia Walti and Barcelona's Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic dragged them over the line against a team ranked seven places below them in the world.

12) Iceland

Struggled in their friendly double-header with Italy but the margins were narrow. They can take plenty of heart from the 1-1 draw and 1-0 defeat.

13) Russia

A first-leg away win in their Euro qualifying play-off against Portugal and a 0-0 home draw ensured the Russians qualified at the expense of their opponents. The manner of the progression matched their 2009 qualifying campaign when they also made the most of a first-leg away win against Scotland.

14) Northern Ireland

It is perhaps a little generous to lift them off the bottom of these rankings but the manner of their 4-1 aggregate defeat of Ukraine, a team ranked 25 places above them, means it has been well earned. Northern Ireland are the only home nation to qualify alongside the hosts England for the Euros and it will be their first senior tournament finals. Driven through qualifying by the influential Liverpool forward Rachel Furness, the team were without their talisman for the second leg against Ukraine but still came away with a 2-0 win.

15) Finland

Topping qualifying group E ahead of Portugal and Scotland, a fluke goal, deflected off the face Amanda Rantanen in the 95th minute, killed Scotland's hopes of qualification in December. They confirmed top spot with a defeat of Portugal. The team's 2-2 draw with Austria in this window – both goals scored by the midfielder Eveliina Summanen – showed further signs of progress.

16) Austria

They have struggled to find any consistency and have not earned back-to-back wins since November 2019. The Austrians finished, respectably, behind France in qualifying group G, but a 2-2 draw with Finland on Sunday shows there is still much room for improvement.

WSL at 10 years: Who did you vote the greatest player?

On 13 April 2011, the inaugural season of the Women's Super League got under way with Arsenal beating Chelsea and Doncaster overcoming Lincoln.

A decade later, and with 12 fully professional teams, the league has crowned four different champions and produced a series of star players.

And to celebrate 10 years of England's elite women's competition, we asked 'who is the greatest player across the decade of the WSL?'

BBC Sport journalists, reporters and commentators came up with a shortlist of the 14 women they think should be in the conversation for the greatest WSL player.

A combination of longevity, impact and trophies, particularly in the WSL, were all taken into consideration, and some truly remarkable players did not find their way on to our list.

Here are the final results of your vote:

1. Vivianne Miedema

Appearances: 63 Goals: 59 Clubs: Arsenal

Vivianne Miedema tops your list. The ultimate goal machine, her WSL all-time record of 59 goals have come in just 63 games for Arsenal.

The Netherlands striker, who helped the Gunners to the 2019 title, has become as well known for her low key celebrations as much as the goals that precede them.

2. Steph Houghton

Appearances: 155 Goals: 20 Clubs: Arsenal, Man City

As England and Manchester City captain, Steph Houghton has personified the modern professional in the women's game.

With three WSL titles to her name, two with Arsenal and one with City, the defender is second in the league's all-time appearance list with 155.

3. Lucy Bronze

Appearances: 94 Goals: 11 Clubs: Everton, Liverpool, Man City

Officially the best player in the world after winning the Fifa Best Women's Player of the Year award in 2020, Lucy Bronze has scaled the peak of the women's game.

Three years with super club Lyon took her out of the WSL, but that has not stopped the right-back claiming three WSL titles, two with Liverpool and one with Manchester City.

4. Fran Kirby

Appearances: 70 Goals: 46 Clubs: Reading, Chelsea

A key player for England and Chelsea, Fran Kirby has racked up three WSL titles with the Blues and in December became their all-time record scorer when she reached 70 goals.

This season is proving particularly fruitful for the forward, who has contributed 14 WSL goals in a potent attack alongside Sam Kerr (the duo nicknamed Kerrby) for the leaders.

5. Alex Scott

Appearances: 76 Goals: 6 Clubs: Arsenal

Already an established club and international defender by the time the WSL rolled round, Alex Scott is one of the highest profile players the English women's game has ever produced.

Helped Arsenal win the WSL title in 2012, her first season in the league after a spell in the USA, and the seven-time FA Cup winner was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2019.

=6. Karen Carney

Appearances: 103 Goals: 25 Clubs: Birmingham City, Chelsea

Now one of the top football pundits in the country, Karen Carney's career was already in full flow when the WSL started, with the England winger at her hometown club Birmingham City for a second spell.

She would go on to be top scorer in 2014 before moving to Chelsea, where she won the WSL title in 2018.

=6. Jill Scott

Appearances: 157 Goals: 22 Clubs: Everton, Man City

Nobody has made more appearances in the WSL than Jill Scott and she is only one of two players to surpass 150 caps for the Lionesses.

The midfielder won a WSL title with Manchester City in 2016 and is now back at Everton, the club for whom she made her first WSL appearance 10 years ago.

=6. Fara Williams

Appearances: 144 Goals: 42 Clubs: Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Reading

Here's the only other woman to play more than 150 times for England. Fara Williams has been a constant of English women's football for the past 20 years, making her debut for Charlton in 2001.

A back-to-back WSL winner with Liverpool in 2013 and 2014, the midfielder has been the heartbeat of the competition, racking up 144 appearances, and continues to play for Reading at the age of 37, despite a season disrupted by the diagnosis of a kidney condition.

=9. Kim Little

Appearances: 88 Goals: 42 Clubs: Arsenal

Despite a couple of years playing overseas, midfielder Kim Little has made a lasting impact in her two spells with Arsenal.

A three-time title winner, including the inaugural season, her 42 goals puts her eighth on the all-time WSL scorers list and she's notched up more than 100 caps for Scotland.

=9. Ellen White

Appearances: 119 Goals: 56 Clubs: Arsenal, Notts County, Birmingham City, Man City

Vivianne Miedema's closest rival for the all-time scorer record in the WSL, Ellen White, is just three goals behind her Dutch counterpart on 56.

Prolific for all four of her WSL clubs, striker White helped Arsenal to the title in the first two seasons of the competition.

=9. Rachel Yankey

Appearances: 64 Goals: 10 Clubs: Arsenal, Notts County

One of the WSL's first established superstars, Yankey was already among England's most high-profile women's players when she helped Arsenal to the title in 2011 and 2012.

The winger was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2017, a year after retiring.

12. Ji So-yun

Appearances: 110 Goals: 37 Clubs: Chelsea

Not only one of the greatest WSL players ever, but also one of the most important overseas arrivals to the league.

South Korean Ji So-yun's 110 appearances in the competition are the most by any non-British player and the technically gifted midfielder has helped Chelsea win three titles since her arrival in 2014.

13. Gilly Flaherty

Appearances: 145 Goals: 13 Clubs: Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham

The WSL's first ever goalscorer and still going strong, defender Gilly Flaherty has played in every season of the competition.

Since scoring the only goal for Arsenal in a 1-0 win over Chelsea 10 years ago, Flaherty has amassed 145 appearances and four WSL titles, two each with the Gunners and the Blues, and is now at West Ham.

14. Nikita Parris

Appearances: 110 Goals: 49 Clubs: Everton, Man City

It's easy to forget that Nikita Parris had played in ever season of the WSL before departing for perennial trophy winners Lyon in 2019.

The England forward was the WSL's record goalscorer - until Miedema and Ellen White came along - at the age of just 24 and she won a WSL title with Manchester City in 2016.
