Os primeiros 90 minutos da grande Final da Copa do Nordeste 2015 foram disputados na noite desta quarta-feira, 22/04, quando o Ceará Sporting Club foi até Salvador/BA para enfrentar o Bahia, na Arena Fonte Nova. O jogo entre as duas equipes foi muito disputado, mas o Vozão mostrou muita garra e empenho, conseguindo uma grande vitória por 1 x 0. Ricardinho colocou o Vozão na frente e garantiu a vantagem para o jogo de volta, afinal, o Ceará vai poder levantar a taça do Nordestão 2015 até com um empate no duelo da Arena Castelão, na próxima semana.

O primeiro tempo começou com muita marcação e com os dois times tentando levar perigo na bola aérea. Pelo Vozão, Charles tentou de cabeça, mas foi travado, enquanto isso, o Bahia respondeu com Leo Gamalho, que recebeu cruzamento e desviou, mandando rente à trave esquerda. Ricardinho também trabalhou com muita movimentação e tentou três vezes em chutes de fora da área, mas não acertou o alvo.

A etapa inicial seguiu muito disputada por parte dos dois times, que tomavam cuidados para não se expor. Aos 35 minutos, Ricardinho cruzou com perigo, mas Jean espalmou. No rebote, Marinho tentou o chute rasteiro, mas o camisa 1 do Bahia fez a defesa em dois tempos. Os donos da casa responderam dois minutos depois, porém, a cabeçada de Keiza passou por cima.

No decorrer do primeiro tempo, o confronto não mudou seu panorama e cada equipe teve mais uma chance perigosa. Aos 39 minutos, Assisinho arriscou de fora da área, mas mandou por cima do gol. Em seguida, Souza chutou, mas foi travado. Na sequência, o volante recebeu cruzamento e cabeceou para defesa tranquilda de Luís Carlos, mantendo 0 x 0 no placar do primeiro tempo.

No segundo tempo, o Vozão voltou um pouco mais  à vontade, mas a marcação no meio-campo e a quantidade de faltas excessivas atrapalhou o jogo. A primeira finalização surgiu apenas aos 18 minutos, quando Ricardinho chutou cruzado, Marinho dominou na área e finalizou com força, no entanto, a bola passou rente à trave esquerda, com muito perigo.

O Bahia tentou reagir aos 23 minutos, quando Zé Roberto arriscou de fora da área, mas mandou nas mãos de Luís Carlos. Dois minutos depois, Marinho viu a passagem de Samuel Xavier, que foi à linha de fundo e cruzou para Ricardinho. O meio-campista chutou de primeira, contou com a colaboração do goleiro Jean, que aceitou, e marcou o gol do Alvinegro Cearense: 1 x 0.

Com 29 minutos, Marinho recebeu de Magno Alves, disputou com o goleiro Jean e caiu na área. A arbitragem entendeu o lance como simulação do camisa 10 e ainda advertiu o atacante com o cartão amarelo. Um minuto depois, após troca de passes, a bola chegou para Zé Roberto, que chutou de primeira, mas parou na defesa sensacional de Luís Carlos.

Com o objetivo de dar novo fôlego ao setor ofensivo, o técnico Silas colocou Wescley e William nos lugares de Assisinho e Magno Alves, respectivamente. Perdendo diante do seu torcedor, o Bahia se lançou ao ataque e Maxi Biancucchi quase empatou aos 34 minutos, porém, a cabeçada do meia saiu pelo lado direito do gol. O Vozão respondeu dois minutos depois, com William, que recebeu passe de Ricardinho e cabeceou, mas mandou para fora.

Com apenas sete minutos em campo, o atacante William teve que ser substituído depois de sentir dores na coxa e deu lugar a Eloir. Depois disso, a única chance de ataque aconteceu aos 44 minutos, quando Maxi Biancucchi chutou forte, mas mandou para fora. Depois do apito final, os atletas comemoraram muito, afinal, o Vozão conquistou a vantagem do empate para o jogo de volta, que será na próxima quarta-feira, 29/04, no Castelão.

Agora, a delegação do Mais Querido vai retornar à capital cearense e o foco já deve ser o compromisso pelo Campeonato Cearense 2015, afinal, no próximo domingo, 26/04, o Vozão vai encarar o Fortaleza, no jogo de ida da grande Final da competição estadual. O desembarque do time será por volta das 12h30min e a reapresentação geral acontecerá somente na sexta-feira, 24/04, às 16 horas.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop casts doubt on Prime Minister’s ‘stop-the-boats’ policy for European nations

London: Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has stopped short of recommending an Australian-style refugee policy for Europe, saying it “might not work” for them.

Ms Bishop was speaking in Germany on Wednesday after a meeting with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The refugee crisis in the Mediterranean has resulted in up to 1300 migrants drowning over the past week, en route from northern Africa.

It is estimated up to half a million more could attempt the sea crossing this summer, in boats that are usually horrifically overcrowded, and often unstable.

Europe’s leaders are meeting this week in Brussels to announce their response, which is expected to be a beefed-up search and rescue operation.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott suggested on Tuesday that: “The only way you can stop the deaths is in fact to stop the boats. That’s why it is so urgent that the countries of Europe adopt very strong policies that will end the people smuggling trade across the Mediterranean.”

Ms Bishop was asked at the Berlin press conference what Europe could learn from the Australian model.

“I’m very conscious of the fact that the geographic circumstances are very different between Europe and Australia and I’m very conscious of the fact that what works in one circumstance may or may not work in another,” Ms Bishop said.

“Our PM has offered up the experience of Australia for others to consider, but it is for the governments and regions to make their own decisions as to what they believe will work to resolve these issues.”

Ms Bishop said Australia’s “resolute position” was that refugees who pay people smugglers to bring them to Australia would not be resettled in Australia, nor have their asylum claims considered in Australia.

“It has, as a result, dismantled the people smugglers trade in our region,” she said. “As a result of the policies we’ve taken, there have been no boats come to Australia since January of 2014, no deaths at sea as a result. So we believe that the approach that we have taken has worked for us.”

Ms Bishop said Australia stood by its humanitarian obligation to save people from drowning, and its constitutional obligation to give people the opportunity to seek asylum.

Extra security for Queensland Anzac Day services

Security will be ramped up across Queensland for Anzac Day services, with police planning additional patrols across key shrines.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said while there was no terror threat authorities were aware of in Queensland, it had been decided an additional police presence was necessary.

Police Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett said extra security had been planned as a precaution “to support a peaceful outcome for everyone who attends”.

“This is largely due to the change in National Security Alert Levels last year, and the significance of this year’s Centenary Anzac Day event,” he said in a statement.

Australian Federal Police foiled an alleged plot to attack a Melbourne Anzac commemoration event last week.

Ms Palaszczuk encouraged Queenslanders to attend their local ceremony to pay homage to the nation’s service men and women.

“Let me re-assure Queenslanders there is no terror threat here in Queensland,” she said.

“Having said that, there will be an increased police presence on the day, but I want to encourage all Queenslanders to show your support on Anzac Day, stand up for the ideals that people have fought for, and show your support to commemorate the 100 anniversary of Anzac Day.”

Meanwhile, CEO of the National Retail Association Trevor Evans advised retailers to shut up shop.

“Trading hours can be very confusing for retailers, but everyone should be very clear that Anzac Day is a no go,” he said.

“There are fines for those do open before 1pm but regardless of the laws that apply, Anzac Day is a very special day. It has cultural significance and everyone should understand that a majority of shops will be shut.”

Under legislation, factories and stores are required to close on April 25, barring a few exceptions, including racing venues, TAB, licensed premises, essential services and, once the clock strikes 1pm, independent retail shops.

Amusement zones, such as cinemas, can open after 1.30pm.

Given the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing falls on a Saturday this year, there will be no corresponding public holiday on the Monday.
