The visitors rarely threatened PSV’s goal, and to make matters worse, they were forced into substituting their key defender Ousmane Diomande off through injury with over an hour left to play There would be no further punishment for Sporting, but the second half started just like the first, with PSV nearly doubling their advantage, as great chances for Ismael Saibari and Guus Til went narrowly wide of the post within five minutes of the restart PSV - Sporting match statsOpta by StatsPerformThe hosts' high press continued to cause the Sporting defence issues, somehow not extending the lead when they won the ball back high up the pitch resulting in Luuk de Jong putting the ball just wide of the post after he set himself up nicely with a cute flick It took the visitors the best part of 70 minutes to create their best chance of the match when Hidemasa Morita was put through on goal by Daniel Braganca but the midfielder somehow got his legs muddled up before he could get his shot away But the worst miss of all came from PSV shortly before the final whistle, when the usually reliable Johan Bakayoko pounced on a poor backpass to round the keeper and criminally put the ball wide of an empty net The home side paid dearly, conceding just minutes later when Maximiliano Araujo’s deflected cross was turned in by Bragança in front of a jubilant set of away fans neither side could find the all-important breakthrough and settled for a draw that extended Sporting’s unbeaten run to the season to nine games Flashscore Man of the Match: Daniel Braganca (Sporting CP)  Check out the match stats with Flashscore Sporting Clube de Portugal maintained their unbeaten start in the Champions League after a hard fought 1-1 draw against PSV in Eindhoven The Dutch champions took the lead in the 15th minute when Jerdy Schouten stole the ball from Geny Catamo and beat Franco Israel from distance Eduardo Quaresma replaced an injured Ousmane Diomande in the first half and slipped over when presented with a golden chance to equalise in the 71st minute Johan Bakayoko missed an open net in the closing stages and paid the price Maxi Araújo’s deflected cross falling to Daniel Bragança who volleyed past Walter Benítez from close range The early signs were worrying for Sporting with Geny Catamo looking lost and Ryan Flamingo winning his individual battle with Viktor Gyökeres A loose pass from Gonçalo Inácio resulted in Guus Til’s shot being saved by Franco Israel PSV stayed on the front foot and took the lead in the 15th minute Catamo was too slow to react and receive Zeno Debast’s pass Jerdy Schouten stealing the ball and beating Israel from long range Johan Bakayoko fired wide before a poor touch from Debast gave the Dutch champions another opportunity Ousmane Diomande got back to block Malik Tillman’s effort the central defender rolling his ankle in the process and replaced by Eduardo Quaresma Rúben Amorim’s side had a decent end to the first half Gyökeres’ shot blocked by Olivier Boscagli and Inácio heading a corner wide in added time Sporting got off to a terrible start in the second half when Quaresma’s loose pass was pounced on in the opening seconds provided a chance for Til and headed Tillman’s cross straight at Israel Rúben Amorim brought on Daniel Bragança for Catamo in the 52nd minute but the chances kept coming for the home side as Luuk de Jong went close to scoring a spectacular solo goal The veteran striker then showed his importance by getting back into his own box to stop Trincão Peter Bosz made two changes in the 65th minute when Mauro Júnior and Saibari made way for Rick Karsdorp and Noa Lang Kardsorp’s first involvement was delivering a cross to Til Sporting stayed in the contest and had a fantastic chance to equalise in the 71st minute continued his run and got the ball back from Morita the centre-back somehow slipping over with Walter Benítez to beat The game opened up which wouldn’t have pleased Bosz Lang’s header saved by Israel and Geovany Quenda curling a low effort wide Amorim made two more substitutions in the 80th minute when Maximiliano Araújo and Conrad Harder replaced Nuno Santos and Trincão PSV took advantage of the open space on offer with Bakayoko the player to profit The winger went close before another shot was comfortably collected by Israel His best chance was yet to come and should have been the nail in Sporting’s coffin Bakayoko intercepted a horror pass from Quaresma Gyökeres turned provider with a great through ball to Harder the young Dane going through on goal but unable to connect cleanly Sporting’s persistence paid off in the 84th minute when they drew level Araújo’s deflected cross falling into the path of Bragança who volleyed past Benítez from close range Quaresma did well to get back and block a dangerous attempt by Lang Harder testing Benítez in the final minute of the game with the goalkeeper up to the task Rúben Amorim started the match without Jeremiah St Losing Ousmane Diomande to injury in the 32nd minute was another blow Geny Catamo has operating primarily as a wing-back this season the youngster starting on the left wing due to the absences of Pote and Edwards He looked completely lost and out of his depth in the first half before being replaced shortly after the break Few would have heard of Ryan Flamingo outside the Netherlands but anyone who watched the game would have been extremely impressed The 21-year-old defender completely owned Viktor Gyökeres who hardly had a sniff in front of goal but Peter Bosz had the upper hand for most of the match with his three man midfield taking Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita out of the contest Geovany Quenda performed admirably in a difficult game the 17-year-old gaining more invaluable experience after being thrown into the first team at the deep end.  PSV scored 111 goals as they cruised to the Eredivisie title last season and are on target to eclipse that tally this campaign The Dutch champions won almost every individual duel were the better team and Amorim will be more than happy to return to Portugal with a point The Lions host Casa Pia on Saturday in what is likely to be another routine home win in the Primeira Liga the international break coming at a great time for Sporting who will hope to have Diomande Pote and Marcus Edwards back on the field for the Taça de

coach could open up new and interesting transfer market scenarios for the Rossoneri in January's transfer market window thanks to the collaboration with the new coach's agent it will be important to understand if Conceição can reintegrate Fikayo Tomori into the starting lineup and recover the summer signing Strahinja Pavlović a new reinforcement in defense will be needed Conceição's Milan could target António Silva In attack, there will be a need to clarify the future of Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor It's unlikely both will be deemed useful for the cause so one of them could be sold to

north to south From February 19th we will resume the regional air connection between Bragança The regional air route was interrupted on 30 September when the last direct agreement with the company Sevenair ended while the outcome of the international public tender to grant the concession for another four years was awaited It was in that month that the airline announced that the route would stop until the amount it was due to receive from the State was paid as it was in a situation of “cash strangulation” the number of daily flights had already been reduced paid around half of the debt it owed the company From the beginning of the concession until the service was stopped first with the socialist government and then with the current Government The result of the public tender was known at the end of 2024 being chosen to continue operating for the next four years the Ministry of Infrastructure guaranteed that it was making every effort to resume the regional air route that connects

activity between Bragança which explained that ticket purchases are now available again confirmed to Lusa that Sevenair has already paid the debt for the plane which was held at Tires aerodrome due to restrictions imposed by the municipal company Cascais Dinâmica due to the lack of payment of an alleged debt owed by the company responsible for the air connection At issue was a disagreement regarding an alleged debt for handling fees the services provided with the plane grounded in the amount of 107 thousand euros plus VAT (or a debt of 132,471.95 euros according to the local authority) that Cascais Dinâmica demanded but which the carrier considered “not to be due” The return to operation comes after Sevenair paid more than 130 thousand euros as it considers that the debt was collected unduly Lusa recalls that Sevenair questioned the National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) about the legality of the assistance fee as it operates under a “self-handling regime” with a company it owns but the regulatory body concluded that the fee “is due by ground handling service providers or air carriers with a license for self-handling on ground” “Sevenair prefers to exhaust the legal means available to it to finally speak as the speed of justice does not keep up with reality as soon as the State reimburses us what it owes us the airline’s management had already stated during this interruption in a statement to which Lusa had access to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing told Lusa that it expected to pay Sevenair 660.5 thousand euros in the coming days relating to

he knew that the process would be worked out by the republican authorities But he nevertheless took advantage of the occasion to spread monarchical ideals throughout Brazil which has had some fruit down to the present Although confronted with financial difficulties and unfair restrictions on access to radio and television to popularize his message They had proved that the Monarchy was still an alternative and a hope for a large number of Brazilians more focused on cultural than political aspects participating in Monarchist meetings and related events always maintaining contact with the real Brazil Travelling to the United States and Europe and attended important occasions of the European royalty and high nobility Luiz sought to address the nation by means of press releases and statements He also maintained a large correspondence and granted audiences to monarchists from all over Brazil as well as journalists and other Brazilians who wished to learn his opinions on a great variety of issues Dom Luiz was also widely read and enjoyed classical music He was Grand Master of the Brazilian Imperial Orders and member of a number of others including the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre President Jair Bolsonaro decreed official mourning throughout the country: civilian and military institutions throughout Brazil hoisted flags at half-mast in their headquarters and barracks through the Special Secretariat of Social Communication Several Brazilian states and foreign countries offered condolences Sympathy notes were sent to the Imperial Family from all over Brazil Expressions of regret came from reigning and former reigning families related to the Imperial Family in the presence of the Honor Guard of the Brazilian Navy and detachments of the Brazilian Army Dom Luiz was succeeded as the Head of the Imperial House by his brother is now Prince Imperial; his heir presumptive They and their followers have surely rededicated themselves to the cause of Restoration in Brazil This tribute appears in the Fall 2023 edition of The European Conservative If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Glow Up For Mother's Day: 15 Beauty Gifts She Will Adore Best Mother’s Day Flower Delivery Services Help Control Symptoms With These Air Purifiers for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution We recognize our responsibility to use data and technology for good We may use or share your data with our data vendors The Weather Channel is the world's most accurate forecaster according to ForecastWatch, Global and Regional Weather Forecast Accuracy Overview Ann de Bragança of Palm Beach died in her home Saturday The couple moved to Miami and eventually to Rio de Janeiro Scholz was a pilot for Pan American World Airways flying Clippers with cargo across the Atlantic for the war effort a Pan American captain and Portuguese royalty de Bragança was an avid gardener in Pound Ridge and active in the Garden Club of America in New York she was Ladies Club Champion at the Bedford Golf and Tennis Club antiques and interior design business in Bedford Hills the de Braganças had a vacation home in Tuckers Town The de Braganças settled in Palm Beach in 1979 where Miguel de Bragança had spent time as a boy They belonged to the Seminole Golf Club and the Everglades Club Memorial donations may be made to the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, 3100/3200 N.

It’s no secret that Sporting Lisbon possesses one of Benfica and Porto have found success in scouting South American players and selling them for hefty profits but Sporting’s key to becoming a perennial Champions League side is homegrown 10 of their academy products made their way onto the pitch in Portugal’s victorious Euro Final including current Ballon D’Or holder Cristiano Ronaldo Sporting’s academy continues to churn out top-notch talent and it seems their next generation is living up to the hype with Gelson Martins becoming the Leões’s standout player this season and Palhinha solidifying his reputation as one of the toughest midfielders in Liga Sagres there is one 17-year-old who still plays for the U19 side but who is bound to generate plenty of hype when he breaks into the first team: Daniel Bragança I sought out to analyze the 17-year-old’s game in the only two full matches available on the Internet: Sporting C vs Bragança is the captain and regista of Tiago Fernandes’ U19 side a player who gives fluidity to possession while using fearless aggression in challenging for the ball I couldn’t help but think Bragança would shine even brighter in a different system Fernandes’ system is built on passing back to the goalkeeper while another component is solo runs and through balls through the wings There is little to no delicate build-up through the midfield but he needs to play for a system that can let him control the center of the pitch for the majority of the game chase down opponents for possession and win headers and he needs a manager to get the best out of his qualities When I first saw Bragança against Benfica’s C team I criticized him for not getting himself available enough into positions to receive A mediocentro should be getting himself in positions to aid the clean distribution of the ball out of defense while also finding himself in positions to stop counter-attacks it seems Fernandes instructed him to man-mark Benfica’s #10 This seems to be a common pattern; when I watched the Sporting captain against Real Madrid he stuck to Madrid’s #6 like white on rice Bragança has the potential to be one of the best registas in football he needs to master the art of Juego de posición His lackadaisical marking led to a Benfica counter at 36:40 Fernandes’ demands have made him man mark his way out of positional nirvana This man-marking leads to Braganca being generally out of position sometimes he is so advanced that when Madrid’s #8 spins one Sporting CB (#4) leading to the other Sporting CB (#3) stepping out of line in order to tackle #8 and win possession back The mediocentro art usually takes years to master but when you look at the likes of Julian Weigl and Sergio Busquets players who began starting for European elites when they were just kids their positional sense was absolutely sublime and Sporting’s board should seriously be considering moving him out on loan he has executed Fernandes’ instructions well and even risking fouls with his tenacious style I think he will fit into the new crop of registas like Santiago Ascacibar and Amadou Diawara: a calming presence at the base who can also swarm an opponent for the ball like an angry hive of wasps This component in the Portuguese’s game will make him extremely versatile he’s quite impressive in this category although he goes into a few too many due to Fernandes’ long ball philosophy and as he carries the model of a controlling midfielder the team’s build-up should be structured around him especially in chipping passes over back to the center backs he’ll sometimes see a player making a run yet plays a through ball out for a goal kick Bragança needs to find out what position is his best tracking the movement of Benfica’s #10 his future is neither as a mediapunta nor a volante mixto there are certain characteristics of passing each positional player must master he has to improve his through balls and efficiency in the final third he must improve the clean distribution of the ball out of defense he shows glimpses that he can become a world-class metronome His sheer quality on the ball is enough to place an investment in him he didn’t see #7 rushing to win back the ball and he lost possession seconds after he received it Watching English football as often as I do I’d have expected a 17-year-old to commit a foolish mistake in midfield I expected him to clear it to Benfica’s goalkeeper with a larger midfielder closing him down this play encapsulated not only the captain’s brilliance but the team’s system flaws #17 does a roulette against several defenders and strikes it to Sporting’s goalkeeper who boots it into midfield for another aerial duel The teenager can fortify his strength even further but he does hold off players with relative ease and he always finds a way to get stuck in using his body as a shield to win the ball Bragança often rushes his decisions; he needs to realize that most of the time he has more time on the ball than he thinks He’ll usually make the right choice on the ball but he needs a system that forces him to vary his decisions So much of Fernandes’ system is built on through balls to the wingers and the captain must learn the importance of diversity in a regista’s game Sporting could not have found themselves a better captain rushing over to the scene of the crime when a Madrid player commits a horrendous tackle on his teammate indicating where they need to move to defend while also pointing out where they must move to in order to receive possession He leads by example in his effort and words He tends to put himself into positions to mark and defend rather than to receive and his defensive efficiency is quite overwhelming for a player so antithetical to a typical destroyer He isn’t conservative in his challenges and he sometimes even sticks a leg up in the air to win possession but this shouldn’t be his foremost skillset He has the blueprint to become a top-notch mediocentro but his offensive positioning needs more improvement than his defensive positioning There are occasions in which the teenager will rush his decisions without need but he has a good general knowledge of the run of play and is usually the most tactically advanced player on the pitch he always scans the pitch to check his positioning whether his team is in possession or defending his positional intelligence needs the most work he’ll either join the lines of defense in safeguarding against an attack in order to become a world-class holding midfielder What will set him apart from the likes of Sergi Samper and Rúben Neves two promising regista projects who have stagnated he can play across a midfield three but his best fit is at the base As opposed to some of Sporting’s rising talents Bragança won’t become an end product machine His shots rarely force the goalkeeper to even make a diving effort but he does press opponents with relentless determination concentrating on winning the ball back from opponents rushing them into playing long balls or making poor decisions It’s his determination in hurrying the opponent that stands out but his profile isn’t as a shuttler like Corentin Tolisso or Mahmoud Dahoud Bragança must improve this area of his game his ability to glide past pressing opponents and shield the ball from counterattacks he needs a system which not only tests his locomotion but improves it he plays in a system where the team plays solely through the wings but they will decide to dribble it up the wing and lose possession If he was tasked with protecting the back four instead of man-marking players and gegenpressing but he should not be condemned to the role of the workhorse of the side He was taken off midway through the Benfica match but he puts in a solid shift where he harries players for the ball constantly Even the likes of Marco Verratti and Xavi in his prime rack up kilometers pressing the opposition so he could fit into the enhance blueprint eventually and perform the requisite defending it necessitates crossing and general accuracy from dead balls are nothing special They rarely make contact with the intended target but the system should limit his crossing to a minimum Bragança’s dribbling has room for improvement but his locomotion is the real necessity for a regista like him as it does not seem like the 17-year-old will become a mezz’alla or forward Even though he may find himself positioned as a second striker due to man marking duties it is clear as day his best position is as a midfielder who operates in the first or second third so it isn’t a necessary category for him to improve in given his profile I would say that his strongest quality is his dedication to the coach’s advice While this may turn him into a carthorse and shape him away from the artistic mediocentro he can become His positioning is all over the place due to Fernandes’ demands Not only does he adhere to the words of the manager but also the demands that the armband carries It seems to me he will become similar to Marseille’s Maxime Lopez with tenacious aggression He leads by example in his ability and his vicious aggression Should he develop into a holding midfielder this tenacity will aid him in his positional transition despite his small stature BOCA RATON, Fla.

along the years I have been through a transition to oil work But what I try to do to in my paintings is simply capture the quality of light in the landscape Do you think your style has changed over the years I always hope to change and evolve over the years as an artist I expect to never stick or stagnate to one style just because it “works.” who influenced me to fall in love with “plein air,” and Jean LeGassick; I took workshops with both Kevin is a very encouraging and generous teacher he gave me a higher motivation to do “plein air.” Jean LeGassick (I participated in one of her workshops two weeks ago) She and I share the love for the mountains and outdoors She makes this funny joke about “plein air” artists: How many “plein air” painters does it take to do a painting So I have been encouraged by her to figure when to stop I heard one of your paintings won the “Best of Show” at the Martis Valley Plein Air event at Northstar last month I have a lot of paintings that didn’t work out I don’t consider them absolute failures there is always something that works in each painting and usually something I can learn from or use in another painting Besides I am always perfectly happy with my own experience to me what matters the most is the quality of the whole process ” Liz Motta performed this week’s Meet Your Neighbor interview.
