RIO DE JANEIRO -- Most Brazilian players were already back in the locker room when Neymar rushed across the field at Maracana Stadium to celebrate with the fans.Shirtless, Neymar raised his arms toward the stands. He pumped his fists as the crowd chanted his name. He pointed back at the fans, as if thanking them, drawing even louder cheers.The Olympic host nation is once again embracing its most talented son.Neymar had just scored two goals Wednesday -- including the fastest one in Olympic history, just 15 seconds into the game -- to lead Brazil to a 6-0 rout of Honduras in the semifinals and keep alive its hopes of winning Olympic soccer gold for the first time.The 24-year-old striker is vital for Brazil at the Rio Olympics and has regained the trust of the fans after a struggling start. Neymars brilliant display against Honduras helped Brazil reach Saturdays final against Germany. Besides the early goal, he converted a penalty kick in injury time after controlling the Brazilian offense throughout the game.This is the Neymar that we like to see on the field, said 38-year-old Brazilian fan Andre Gustavo Correa, speaking outside the Maracana. We need him to have a chance to win this gold! Without him playing the way he is playing, I dont think this team would have been in the final.Brazilian fans had jeered and mocked Neymar after disappointing performances in the first two Olympic games -- scoreless draws against South Africa and Iraq.But his recent level of play -- victories over Denmark in the group stage, Colombia in the quarterfinals, and Honduras in the semis -- has been more than enough to bring the fans back to his side.I would say, in the good sense, that Neymar is a monster, Brazil coach Rogerio Micale said. He has a gift for playing football. He delights absolutely everyone with his talent. There are external factors that influence the way players develop and I think it is an opportunity to study what happened to him to see if we can replicate that with other players.His coach thinks Neymar is a disrupting force for other teams.Hes the kind of player that when he is on a team, he kind of upsets the balance in a positive way, Micale said. I think he is very happy on the team. The team has embraced him. He is living through a positive period as opposed to a week ago, when there was a lot of demands and pressure on him. I think we need to respect him and have him on our side.Neymar arrived as one of the biggest stars of the Rio de Janeiro Games after skipping the Copa America to take on the responsibility of leading Brazil at its home Olympics. The Barcelona player was on the 2012 team that lost the Olympic final to Mexico in London.He was also on the national team eliminated by Germanys senior squad after an embarrassing 7-1 loss in World Cup semifinals two years ago, although he didnt play because of a back injury sustained in the quarterfinals against Colombia.That humiliating loss to Germany has scarred the Brazilian psyche. With Neymar on the field this time, everyone is hoping for a different outcome Saturday when the same two nations meet at the Maracana.For the time being, we have only the silver achieved, Micale said. But I still believe in Brazilian football. And when you have a star like Neymar, you have to be grateful, because he is the type of player that pushes Brazil to a higher level.---AP Sports Writer Anne M.

Today, we look back at Boston Strong - a citys recovery from tragedy. tgThe exodus of 13 players from Bangladesh to the Indian Cricket League - and into virtual exile from all official cricket - has been formalised with the unveiling in New Delhi of the Dhaka Warriors. The team, which will compete in the second season of (ICL) from October 10, will be led by Habibul Bashar, the former national captain, and includes recent internationals Aftab Ahmed, Alok Kapali, Shahriar Nafees, Farhad Reza, Dhiman Ghosh and Mosharraf Hossain.The ICLs latest signings, who will be coached by Balwinder Sandhu, the former India player, include four players who have represented Bangladesh in the past - retired left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique, Tapash Baisya, Manjural Islam and Mohammad Sharif. The others are Golam Mabud, a reserve wicketkeeper after Ghosh, and Mahbubul Karim, part of the Bangladesh Academy team currently touring Sri Lanka.The move is likely to have a significant impact on Bangladesh cricket, and the recruits have drawn the anger of their fans, some of whom have even labelled them traitors. Bashar reiterated the ICL stance - players contracted are free to turn out for their country . ICL never asked us to stop playing for our country, he said as the ICL launched their second season. That is the main reason we joined the ICL. Perhaps people back home havent understood properly.Bashar was the first to be introduced as one by one each warrior came on to the stage, dressed in green tee-shirts and dark slacks, with a sword in hand and a smile on the face. While a personal statement for each, it was also a show of strength for the league, which has faced many a hurdle since its inception. Kapil Dev, Indias World Cup-winning captain and now chairman of the ICLs executive board, said he wanted to see these players represent Bangladesh, and be part of the league when away from national duty.They have come here to make their life, he said. How can you stop anybody not to play cricket? How can you stop people from not getting educated as cricket was education for me. If somebody says you only play with one set of people then that is wrong. We are not in apartheid era. Nafees, who at one point was seen as a potential successor to Bashar as Bangladesh captain, said he had the freedom to make his choice. The player has all the right to choose what he has to do, he said. I still believe I can play for my country. ICL is a new and unique concept to promote players, to train young guys and make them better cricketers. So I would like to taake this opportunity and show what I can do.ddddddddddddHe downplayed the monetary significance of joining the league. As a cricketer my first and love is to play cricket, he said. When I was growing up money was always secondary. Ive sacrificed ten years of my life to play at the highest level.The departure of Nafees, Aftab and Kapali will severely dent Bangladeshs batting, while Dhiman Ghosh was their first-choice wicketkeeper during the ODI series in Australia. Farhad Reza had played 32 one-dayers since his debut in July 2006 and left-arm spinner Mosharraf Hossain featured in the home ODIs against South Africa earlier in the year.The ICL have also signed two of Bangladeshs most experienced players in Bashar and Rafique. Bashar is Bangladeshs most-capped Test player with 50 matches. He led the team in 18 of those, including the countrys only Test win over Zimbabwe in 2005 and in the 2007 World Cup, where they scored upset wins over India and South Africa. For long the mainstay of Bangladeshs batting, Bashar had fallen out of favour in the past year, and was disappointed with the lack of support he got, especially from current coach Jamie Siddons.Rafique, Bangladeshs leading wicket-taker in Tests and ODIs, had announced his retirement ahead of the South Africas visit, but later said he had done it as a mark of protest. He said in an interview: Its better to leave before getting humiliated at the hands of some people who prevented me from playing Test cricket for two years.The Dhaka Warriors will be the ICLs second city-based team to feature players from a single country, after the Lahore Badshahs, consisting of only Pakistan players, performed splendidly on the field and more importantly gained a following among viewers, especially in Pakistan. The two teams will play alongside seven other sides in the ICL 20s Championship. The tournament will be held across four venues - Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Gurgaon and Panchkula - and will be followed by the ICL World Series, during which the players from the Lahore Badshahs and Dhaka Warriors will take part as the Pakistan and Bangladesh XIs respectively.Dhaka Warriors: Habibul Bashar (capt), Aftab Ahmed, Shahriar Nafees, Alok Kapali, Dhiman Ghosh (wk), Farhad Reza, Manjural Islam, Golam Mabud (wk), Mahbubul Karim, Mohammad Rafique, Mohammad Sharif, Mosharraf Hossain, Tapash Baisya .
