Rival da Seleção em sua estreia na Copa, Sérvia tem história marcada por conflitos

MatériaMais Notícias

Em sua terceira Copa do Mundo como uma nação independente, a Sérvia, que é a primeira adversária do Brasil, possui um histórico de conflitos em uma região marcada por muitas rivalidades internacionais. Um dos territórios pertencentes à antiga Iugoslávia, o país já foi império, reino e também passou por domínios estrangeiros.

Professor de Relações Internacionais da UERJ, Paulo Velasco apontou onde houve os primeiros conflitos na região dos Bálcãs. A Sérvia desempenhou um papel importante no desencadeamento da Primeira Guerra Mundial.

-Para entender o surgimento da Sérvia como estado soberano independente, temos de olhar um pouco para a realidade histórica nos Bálcãs. É uma região onde já no início do século XX havia disputas muito fortes, intensas de caráter nacionalista. A própria Primeira Guerra Mundial teve como estopim estas disputas nos Bálcãs. O exemplo mais nítido é o assassinato do príncipe austríaco Francisco Ferdinando (o príncipe do Império da Áustria-Hungria e sua esposa Sofia foram assassinados em um atentado em Sarajevo, na Bósnia) – disse, ao LANCE!.

Nem mesmo o fim da Primeira Guerra Mundial foi suficiente para fazer com que a situação na região dos Bálcãs se tornasse mais amena. Em 1918, se formou o reino da Iugoslávia. Em 1941, ocorreu um golpe de estado, que elevou Pedro II ao posto de no novo rei.

– O pós-Primeira Guerra é um período de intensas lutas entre sérvios, bósnios, croatas… Há uma realidade historicamente de tensões e de rivalidades de caráter étnico, nacionalista que marcam aquele período – declarou Velasco.

Neste período, os sérvios se tornaram os mais importantes para a Iugoslávia (do mesmo modo que a Rússia foi para a União Soviética). A região foi praticamente o epicentro do estado iugoslavo.O país esteve envolvido na Segunda Guerra Mundial e Belgrado, que é sua capital atual, foi bombardeada pela Alemanha no período Nazista.

-Havia clara prevalência territorial, populacional e militar. A Sérvia dava robustez à Iugoslávia e tinha nítida ascendência sobre as demais províncias – disse.

A aparente união da Iugoslávia ocorreu durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. O professor de Relações Internacionais da UERJ apontou que uma figura política foi relevante para isto.

– Durante a Guerra Fria a Iugoslávia ficou sob o comando do Marechal Tito (Marechal Josip BirozTito). Ele conseguiu, numa lógica de “mão de ferro” manter aquelas províncias unidas sob o mesmo estado, um mesmo governo, como a antiga Iugoslávia – declarou Paulo Velasco, acrescentando:

– Porém, as rivalidades e disputas de caráter étnico, religioso e nacionalistas se mantiveram latentes e voltaram a eclodir depois do fim da Guerra Fria – completou.

O declínio do bloco socialista, contudo, se tornou crucial para que houvesse reviravoltas na região dos Bálcãs. Pouco a pouco, os povos que formavam a Iugoslávia entraram novamente em atrito e alguns países foram se tornando independentes.

– O fim da Guerra Fria e, naturalmente, o fim daquele período do marechal Tito, se tornou uma oportunidade para aqueles povos buscarem se afirmar como um estado soberano de independência. Temos na década de 1990 um cenário de guerras. A Guerra da Bósnia é a mais importante neste contexto, mas temos conflitos ali em outras áreas – declarou Paulo Velasco.

Gradualmente, houve a dissolução da Iugoslávia em outros países. Surgem aBósnia e Herzegovina, Croácia, Eslovênia… Muitos deles já entraram na União Europeia e inclusive aderiram à OTAN. Em 2003, inicialmente existia o país Sérvia e Montenegro. Paulo Velasco detalhou o que pesou para esta união inicial entre sérvios e montenegrinos.

– Trata-se de uma prática comum para aplacar movimentos nacionalistas. Concede-se autonomia relativa, mas não soberania. É uma forma de preservar a integridade territorial. Algo semelhante se vê entre China e Taiwan, por exemplo – afirmou.

Na Copa do Mundo de 2006, Sérvia e Montenegro protagonizaram uma situação insólita. Na estreia diante da Holanda, em 16 de junho, o país já não existia mais. Um referendo ocorrido cerca de um mês antes havia definido a separação de sérvios e de montenegrinos.

-Os montenegrinos corriqueiramente se percebiam como uma espécie de subgrupo dessa etnia-nacionalidade. Por isto, houve esta decisão dos montenegrinos – destacou o especialista em Relações Internacionais.

Em sua única participação (foi eliminada na primeira fase, com três derrotas), o país Sérvia e Montenegro teve apenas dois atletas montenegrinos e o restante dos convocados formados por sérvios.

Porém, a região da Sérvia ainda passa por outros conflitos internos que rendem preocupação.

– A própria Sérvia teve um cenário de conflagração muito importante. Houve a violência aplicada por Milosevic contra os albaneses kosovares. O Kosovo se tornou independente, embora outros países não o reconheçam – disse Paulo Velasco.

A seleção da Sérvia inicia na quinta-feira (24) sua terceira participação em uma edição na Copa do Mundo. E, assim como em 2018, terá o Brasil e a Suíça pela frente.

    Ambitious Birmingham will hope to be in the top flight alongside their bitter rivals in the not-too-distant future, having made some serious transfer moves this summer since winning promotion to the Championship.

Tangiwai Shield, commemorating 1953 rail disaster, to go to winners of NZ vs SA Test series

The trophy commemorates the tragic Tangiwai train disaster of 1953 where 151 people, including the fiance of NZ fast bowler Bob Blair, lost their lives

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Feb-2024All New Zealand and South Africa Test series will now be played for the Tangiwai Shield, starting with the two-match Test series that’s set to begin on February 4 in Mount Maunganui. The trophy commemorates the tragic events of 1953, when 151 people on the train from Wellington to Auckland on Christmas eve – including Nerissa Love, the fiancé of New Zealand fast bowler Bob Blair – lost their lives in the country’s worst rail disaster.The tragedy coincided with the second Test between New Zealand and South Africa at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on December 24, which Blair was part of. On the opening day, New Zealand’s seam attack reduced South Africa to 259 for 8. The New Zealand squad spent Christmas at their team hotel, but woke up on Boxing Day to the news of the accident.Blair remained behind at the hotel to grieve. It was announced that he had withdrawn from the match, and flags at the ground were lowered to half-mast.But Blair appeared out of the players’ tunnel after New Zealand lost their ninth wicket for 154 in the first innings, which left the players and the crowd at Ellis Park stunned. Along with Bert Sutcliffe, he put up a 33-run stand to drag New Zealand to 187. It remains one of the most defining moments in New Zealand sporting history.”The background to this Test match is one of the most sad and moving and heart-breaking stories imaginable,” NZC chief executive Scott Weenink said. “It’s also an uplifting story of incredible courage and resilience, and in terms of the South African team and public, great compassion and empathy. I’m delighted to see this very important part of cricket history properly recognised and acknowledged.”The Shield was created by carver David Ngawati (Ngati Hine), is made from the native New Zealand timber puriri, and includes an inlaid mere made from pounamu, a type of stone sourced from the Tangiwai region. An NZC release said that the shield will be blessed and presented to the teams in Tauranga today.CSA chief executive Pholetsi Moseki said, “On behalf of CSA, I send my best wishes to everyone who was touched by this tragedy, and to both teams contesting the inaugural trophy. It’s important that the teams of today and tomorrow know where they came from, and I’m sure the Tangiwai Shield will do much to assist with that.”

Jake Fraser-McGurk could make his T20I debut on Tuesday having been drafted into Australia’s squad for the final match against West Indies in Perth.Fraser-McGurk and South Australia quick Wes Agar will bolster the group with Josh Hazlewood having returned home following the second game in Adelaide to prepare for the New Zealand tour.Xavier Bartlett had already been added to the squad for Perth, so would appear a good chance to make his T20I debut in place of Hazlewood after a terrific start to his ODI career where he claimed consecutive four-wicket hauls against West Indies.Related

Fraser-McGurk also made his ODI debut in that series and caught the eye with his aggressive approach, especially in Canberra where he smashed 41 off 18 balls.Australia’s selectors may look to rest other players in Perth which could open the door for Fraser-McGurk. There is the enticing prospect of him and Glenn Maxwell being in the same XI although Maxwell could be in line to sit out having revealed the initial plan was for him to rest him in Adelaide before he talked the selectors around and proceeded to pile up a 50-ball hundred in front of his parents.”Originally I was supposed to not be playing, I was going to be rested,” Maxwell said. “I sort of talked them into [it by going,] ‘Yeah, I wouldn’t mind playing this one, my family’s going to be here’, so they changed their mind, which was nice. I just thought, ‘Imagine if I was rested for this game, they made the effort to come over here’, but they had a Barossa tour yesterday so they were pretty happy.”Aaron Hardie, who plays for Western Australia, is also part of the squad but has not yet played in the series and would be a popular inclusion for the home crowd.Australia have no shortage of top-order batting options in white-ball cricket so Fraser-McGurk, who hit a world-record 29-ball one-day hundred earlier this season, is not in the frame for this year’s T20 World Cup but his progress is being closely monitored.”We feel like we’ve got some pretty good options at the top of the order in that T20 side,” national selector George Bailey said last week. “Even then there’s a couple of other guys who have batted in the middle or have batted at the top in T20 cricket who can cover as well. The talent’s there [with Fraser-McGurk], he’s one we’re certainly keeping a close eye on.”Travis Head and Steven Smith will return to the T20I squad for the New Zealand tour, while Matt Short is also due to be part of that trip having missed the West Indies matches due to injury, with Head currently favoured to partner David Warner at the top for the World Cup.Meanwhile, Agar previously played two ODIs against West Indies in 2021. He took two wickets in four matches for Adelaide Strikers in the BBL before losing his place in the side. His state, South Australia, which Fraser-McGurk also plays for, are not in contention for the Marsh Cup final with the last round of games taking place the day after the Perth T20I.There are currently a number of quicks nursing injuries with Lance Morris (side), Nathan Ellis (rib) and Sean Abbott (shoulder) sidelined although Ellis is due to return for the New Zealand series. Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc have been rested for this series.

Com jogos no início de 2023, direção da Seleção Brasileira quebra a cabeça para definir novo planejamento

MatériaMais Notícias

Uma nova era se inicia na Seleção Brasileira após a eliminação na Copa do Mundo de 2022. A frustração de não conseguir o tão sonhado hexacampeonato mundial vai culminar numa reformulação, que já estava prevista, mas que agora será adiantada pelo presidente da CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues.

Com o final do contrato do técnico Tite, que afirmou que não seguirá no comando, a direção da confederação terá a missão de encontrar um substituto. A tarefa, entretanto, não é das mais fáceis. Sem um nome de consenso, Ednaldo e seus pares terão que quebrar a cabeça para contratar um novo treinador.

O presidente da CBF já declarou em diversas oportunidades que o novo treinador não necessariamente será brasileiro e abriu as portas para um profissional estrangeiro, tem que gera muita discussão. Após a volta do Qatar, as conversas sobre o planejamento devem ser iniciadas nas próximas semanas.

Além da saída de Tite, que levará consigo toda sua comissão técnica, o coordenador da Seleção, Juninho Paulista, também é outro que pode deixar a CBF. Campeão mundial em 2002, o dirigente está no cargo desde 2019, quando Edu Gaspar foi para o Arsenal. Antes, o ex-jogador era diretor de desenvolvimento do futebol. Segundo o “ge”, o nome de Andrés Sanchez é cotado nos bastidores.

ESCOLHA TERÁ QUE SER RÁPIDA

A CBF não terá muito tempo para escolher seu novo treinador. A primeira Data Fifa de 2023 está marcada já para março e é improvável que a Seleção Brasileira entre em campo com técnico interino. A janela internacional será no fim do mês, entre os dias 20 e 28. O Brasil, entretanto, ainda não tem adversário definido.

Além da Data Fifa de março, a entidade máxima do futebol definiu outras quatro janelas para jogos no próximo ano: junho, setembro, outubro e novembro.

ELIMINATÓRIAS JÁ EM 2023

A Copa do Mundo de 2022 mal acabou para o Brasil, mas o Mundial de 2026 já começa em 2023. As Eliminatórias Sul-Americanas estão marcadas para o próximo ano, mas a Fifa também não determinou o início. A priori, a competição teria as duas primeiras rodadas já em março, mas até o momento nada foi definido.

Em agosto, a Conmebol e as dez federações sul-americanas decidiram manter o formato das Eliminatórias com 18 jogos, em ida e volta. O tema já gerou debate e irritação nos jogadores, mas seguirá para a classificação da Copa do Mundo de 2026, que será disputada nos três países da América do Norte: Canadá, Estados Unidos e México.

Um novo período se aproxima na Seleção Brasileira. Em busca do tão aguardado hexacampeonato mundial, a Copa do Mundo de 2026 já começou nos bastidores, e uma nova direção terá a incumbência de acabar com um jejum de 24 anos sem o título, maior espaço de tempo junto com o hiato entre 1970 e 1994.
