But camaraderie is important to Ancelotti, who has allowed them nights out, so long as they are ready to work the next day. You can be relaxed around Carlo and talk to him like you would anyone else," said Walcott in the club's programme. We saw the other side of him at West Ham [where Ancelotti delivered a half-time rollocking during the 1-1 draw]. He has that in him - but he is a very calming influence in the dressing room.
He is the best player in a generational team. However, more than that, Mane is the embodiment of a Jurgen Klopp side. Hugely talented; incredibly selfless. The Senegalese has abundant talent; yet every season he adapts for the betterment of the team. In the three years Klopp has been at the helm the former Southampton man has played slightly different roles, improving year on year.
I'm not too much concerned about records. We had a record at [Borussia] Dortmund and Bayern [Munich] beat it the next season. We don't feel as though anything is done, I promise you. We take a deep breath and then Saturday it's Southampton. While the result appears to have tightened Liverpool's hold on this season's title, it intensifies the pressure on the Hammers at the bottom. David Moyes' side now sit 17th in the table, just above Bournemouth and Watford on goal difference.
Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla is set to join Qatari club Al Sadd. Cazorla, 35, played his last game for Spanish club Villarreal on Sunday and his contract has now expired. In joining Al Sadd, Cazorla will be managed by former Spain international team-mate Xavi, who has extended his deal at the club until 2021. We have reached an agreement with Santi Cazorla," Al Sadd tweeted. He will reach Doha soon to complete the formalities and join the team.
We have played nine teams ranked in the top five in the world and only won one. I had that saying as a player that you "always leave the shirt in a better place than when you found it". We all gave him time to do that. But we didn't see his philosophy adapt.

BERLIN, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Paris St Germain coach Thomas Tuchel defended a change in system against Borussia Dortmund despite a 2-1 loss in their Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Tuesday. Tuchel fielded a 4-3-3 system but while it piled bodies into midfield to keep Dortmund forward Erling Haaland under control it also left their own forward Kylian Mbappe far too isolated.
They've learned their lesson, they are good boys, both of them. We've spoken to the two players, and we move on. Chilwell has made 18 Premier League appearances for the Foxes this season and has won 11 England caps since making his debut in 2018, while England Under-21 international Choudhury has made 13 league appearances this campaign. Rodgers' side are third in the table on 45 points after 23 games, 11 points in front of fifth-placed Manchester United in the race for the Champions League places.
That’s because Spurs’ defence has been woeful this season. They have conceded 26 goals in their 18 games so far, keeping a clean sheet just 11% of the time and in only once of their six matches under Mourinho. That being said, Tottenham have only failed to score three times in the league this season too, and their recent defeat against Chelsea ended a run of nine matches in which they’d found the net.
Goals are far too difficult to come by as it is. Did you know? Giroud has had a hand in 26 goals in 35 starts for Chelsea in all competitions (16 goals, 10 assists). Anthony Martial: I was tempted to put Greenwood into my TOTW, but Martial scored a brilliant headed goal against Chelsea in midweek and produced a sensational chip to beat goalkeeper Ben Foster when the chance appeared to have gone against Watford.
However, the quarter-finalists either way are likely to be difficult - possibly Spain in St Petersburg if they win their group, or the winners of the "group of death" in Russia if they finish second. If you can win and be top seeds then you have to take control of your destiny," England boss Gareth Southgate told BBC Sport. Let's hope we have the decision to make. We will take on whoever comes. Everyone will be thinking the same about playing us.

My first match of the day from Turkish league. This is a league where the underdogs thrive. Home side beat Trabzonspor last time out in the cup.

The player has regularly been linked with a move away from Barcelona but has five La Liga goals already, and so Valverde is not prepared to discuss his departure, saying: "The departure of Arturo Vidal is like that famous Miami match, where 'yes' was said and we didn't get to play.

Oman Club will have Bahla for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. However, Bahla are more ambitious team in this season. The visitors are in better shape. They have two consecutive victories. I think, the visitors will try to make a positive result on the opposite stadium. Also, we have Oman Club who's is not very good team in this campaign. Also, the hosts are in poor shape. In any case, the hosts have a very difficult task. They are more vulnerable. They have less potential. I think, Bahla will closer to victory.
He is not just my old team-mate; he is my friend and he was the first player I went to meet when I began putting the programme together at the end of November 2015. It was great to see him in such good form, looking well and laughing and joking. As I expected, he had some classic stories about Euro 96, including some other tales of what he got up to at the hotel and also how he did not let some of the Scotland players forget the spectacular goal he scored against them at Wembley.

It was a goal that really deserved a crowd to hail the effort, but there were just a handful of people in the stands due to coronavirus shutdown recommendations.

Or forward. Whichever it is that returns the sunshine to our lives. Ajax have been the best story in European football over the last couple of seasons, and Ziyech has played an integral part. He dribbles with cocksure confidence, he shoots with well-founded optimism, and he hits long flat crossfield passes with his left foot like … like … … like somebody who is really, really good at hitting long flat crossfield passes with his left foot.
We are preparing some hypothetical situations that may occur - we may come back and have a smallish window of a few weeks' training before going into an intense period of games. We're preparing for that and discussing what the build-up to that could look like. If were to return to some form of training, there may be some sort of social distancing and smaller groups. There is a lot unknown at the minute, so it's just about planning and being prepared the best we can.
That season he also scooped he PFA Young Player of the Year and Football Writers' Association Player of the Year awards - making him only the second player to win all three in the same season. Cristiano Ronaldo was the other. Bale scored 31 goals for club and country as he helped Spurs compete for a Champions League spot until the final match of the season. He scored a stunning late winner in the season finale, a 1-0 win over Sunderland at White Hart Lane, a fitting way to sign out of English football as his childhood dreams would soon became reality.
Sao Paulo also offered their facilities, including the Morumbi stadium that hosted the opening match of last year's Copa America. Many Brazilian clubs have also used their social media accounts to pass on public health information to fans. South America's biggest nation has so far confirmed 621 cases of the coronavirus, with six confirmed deaths.
But if De Ligt/De Jong money is offered. The other big player in the market for Van de Beek are Real Madrid, who came close to signing him last summer and as Huijnen points out it’s not as if Ajax are going to say no to a bidding war breaking out. Real Madrid were interested last summer. Van de Beek then signed an improved contract to stop him from leaving (no extension – still until 2022, but more money).
Smith fumed afterwards at a "very, very harsh" decision that killed the game. Vardy only had seven touches of the ball - but two of them were goals. His second arrived after his attempted cross had come back to him, allowing him to rifle past Reina at his near post. That was a particularly impressive goal, starting with defender Jonny Evans winning the ball outside his own box before he played it forward to Barnes, who found Vardy.
They may only need three points by the time they play Liverpool if some of their rivals drop points this week. Chances of top four (from football statisticians Gracenote, A Nielsen Company): 87%4. Leicester CitySheff Utd (h, 16 July), Spurs (a, 19 July), Man Utd (h, 26 July)Leicester City are in the fourth Champions League spot, but only above Manchester United - their final-day opponents - on goal difference.
Saarbrucken are team from the regional 4th tier league, they are considered as an amateur club, haven't played for 94 days a single competitive match, so I doubt they can cause trouble to Bayer Leverkusen. Yes, Bayer Leverkusen might be little bit tired considering how tight schedule they have playing match on every few days, however the quality gap between these two squads is enormous.
May be enough. When will we actually know for sure? City are appealing the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland and while that decision is likely to be expedited, the timeframe is unclear. If the court upholds City's ban, the club has the option of taking the matter to the Federal Supreme Court in Switzerland -- which is the designated seat of appeal for CAS decisions, albeit one rarely used.

Real Madriz FC is the favorite at home up against Chinandega FC this time. Real Madriz FC seems to be overrated by the bookies at the odds of 1,57, as fair odds for them would be at 2,13, as for Chinandega FC, they are quite underrated at the odds of 3,80, as fair odds for them should be around 3,34. Despite the value on the 1 x 2 market, I'll place a double chance on Chinandega FC this time at the odds of 2,20. It has also value and I don't see Real Madriz FC winning this one despite their last result
