England winger Jadon Sancho is "very happy" at Borussia Dortmund, says the German club's chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke. The 19-year-old has scored 14 goals and assisted another 14 this season, and has been linked to a number of Premier League clubs. I think he has the feeling that the club does have a good future," Watzke told BBC Sport. In my opinion, I don't think he wants to leave. Sancho was 17 when he left Manchester City for Dortmund on the last day of the 2017 summer transfer window, costing the Bundesliga side about £10m.
There comes a point in the lives of most young footballers when they think they're not going to make it. A lot don't. But, for Shrewsbury Town striker Daniel Udoh, that dark moment came six years ago when he was down in the ninth tier of English football in Hertfordshire at non-league Hoddesdon Town. This Sunday, he could be lining up against reigning European and world club champions Liverpool. And, whether or not the Premier League leaders will be anywhere near full strength for the FA Cup fourth-round tie, 23-year-old Udoh "needs no motivation".
Ibrahimovic was referencing the main character in a 2008 Oscar-winning film about a man - played by actor Brad Pitt - who ages in reverse. AC Milan remain unbeaten since the league restarted following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. They are guaranteed to finish in sixth place with one game remaining but must go through the qualifying rounds of the Europa League next season. It's obvious that Ibra has been very important for our improvement, although it wasn't just his arrival, it was also the work we did in the previous months," said Milan coach Stefano Pioli.
Thomas Lawrence had set the pace well with a brace inside the opening 24 minutes and Jason Knight’s 30th minute goal assured the Rams of three points. Against United it is a completely different ball game; a tougher opponent and a knockout competition. They will definitely want to build on the weekend win and one person who will be key is Wayne Rooney, the former Manchester United forward, who has been key for Derby this season.
Despite the disruption, Tokyo Olympics organisers continued to sound an upbeat note on Friday, saying this year's Games will go ahead as planned, although the iconic torch relay through Greece was cancelled after fears that unexpectedly large crowds could spread the coronavirus. While Tokyo organisers still have the luxury of time on their side, the impact on other sporting bodies wrestling with the coronavirus is immediate.
Norwich lost 3-0 at home to Southampton on Friday and ended the weekend six points from safety with eight games to play. They have an inferior goal difference so really it's a seven point deficit. The big question is where are those points going to come from? Norwich have only won five league games all season and one in the last five.
Shakhtar Donetsk currently sit second in the group and know they need to keep picking up results. Dinamo Zagreb also have five points and are only kept in third due to the three goals Shakhtar scored in their last game. But getting a result from the Premier League champions is no easy task and Shakhtar will need to be in peak form to challenge City.
Brescia has been a disaster so far this season and it seems unlikely that they will avoid relegation since they are currently in the last place of this competition with only 7 points after 2 wins, 1 draw and 8 defeats. They lost all their last four games and on this match on the road we expect another defeat against Roma, a team that is fighting for a Champions League spot and that won their last two games at home. Roma is clearly the better team and shouldn't waste the opportunity to get the victory here by at least a two goal margin.

Five of the last six meetings between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals and four of Maritimo’s and three of Santa Clara’s last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals, so you can start to see why we’re expecting a low-scoring ninety minutes this weekend.
Every team feels that we cannot compete with this Barca side," Sociedad coach Gonzalo Arconada told a news conference. The federation must decide if this is what they wanted. Barca were always going to win the game and we had to suffer this humiliation. Barca are on course to end a five-year wait to be crowned Spanish champions as they hold a nine-point lead over nearest challengers Atletico after 18 games, of which they have won 16 and drawn two while scoring 68 goals.
Miller describes it as "a wee bit more spartan" than the squad had grown accustomed to, while Bannon remembers a hairy police escort from the airport and "individual rooms that were like little caves with a tiny window". But the focus was on the opening game with Denmark. They might have been among the best in Europe but the Danes were also adept at the other side of the game, successfully hobbling Nicholas, whose selection with Paul Sturrock caused Archibald to storm out of a team meeting in a huff.

Those statistics perhaps justify the tactical reasoning behind the change, but what do you think?'For me, it was the wrong call'Former Everton defender Joleon Lescott criticised the decision. He told Sky Sports: "Yeah, that's tough to take as an individual. He's a young player as well. For me, it was the wrong call. I know after the game he said it wasn't about his performances but the fact he didn't shake his hand after the game makes me believe it was something about his performance that he didn't like.
They have not been without silverware in the past 30 years, winning three FA Cups, four League Cups, a Uefa Cup, the Champions League twice - the latest coming last season under Klopp - as well as three Super Cups and one Club World Cup. However, since Kenny Dalglish led them to the First Division championship, they have had to endure three decades without league success, during which their record tally of titles was surpassed by rivals Manchester United, who have 20 to their name.
With a location and date to be arranged, captain Robert Gardner and David Wotherspoon of Queen's Park met Alcock in London to finalise the details while competing in the English FA Cup. Twelve months earlier, the first international rugby match had been contested by the same two nations at a cricket ground, and football followed the same path as 4,000 spectators watched a 0-0 draw at the West of Scotland Cricket Ground in Partick, Glasgow.

In a survey published in 2015, FIFPRO found that 38% of active players and 35% of former professionals faced depression or anxiety problems at some stage. One issue at the moment, FIFPRO says, is that players are usually focused entirely on their profession and may find themselves with a void when they have no matches to think about.

Liverpool took another step towards the Premier League title with a hard-fought win over Wolves at Anfield in yet another match embroiled in VAR controversy. Sadio Mane scored Liverpool's winner, tucking in from an Adam Lallana knockdown which replays showed did not come off his hand. Wolves thought they had levelled through Pedro Neto, only to see the strike ruled out because Jonny was millimetres offside.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced when these two sides lock horns on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of Colchester. The visitors head into the game as the clear form favourites and are unbeaten in their last five league games. Morecambe sit bottom of the table, due to four defeats in their last five matches, and have failed to score in three of their last fiver outings.
It led to an improvement, but after Henderson demonstrated his undoubted quality, O'Connell could not steer past Schmeichel following John Egan's nod back from a corner. The Blades continued to probe, although their best efforts came from set-pieces and, as they left gaps in their defence, it was Vardy's threat was which eventually their undoing.
It was he in the early nineties who re-established the philosophy he had practised as a player at the club under Rinus Michels, the philosophy of Total Football imported from Amsterdam. The basic principles have remained the same ever since: control possession and you can’t concede. Press high when out of possession to make the pitch as small as possible when the opposition has the ball.
I automatically I expected the video assistant referee to come in," he said. He's probably thought: 'We have the technology in place. Why do we need to make a decision?' and that is the fundamental flaw. Technology is there to help, it is not there to make the final decision. The VAR has let the referee Michael Oliver down. If he had checked the goal, we would not be talking about it now. Referees can make mistakes; the VAR can't, because he has all the evidence there.
This is the Hornets' first home win in 13 Premier League games. United have now gone 13 league games without keeping a clean sheet, the longest run in the club’s history since 1971. The last 19 games between the two teams have produced zero draws. Their last draw came in 1986. Watford had won only one of the last 15 league meetings between the pair before this match.
Barcelona is currently in first place in the Spanish league. They have 2 points more than Real and that is why today only a victory suits them and nothing more. Barcelona beat Mallorca 4-0 in the last round, which is similar in quality to Leganes. The difference is that Barcelona will play at home today.
We’re confident that both teams will score on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of the hosts. Montpellier sit above Brest in the Ligue 1 table and have a great record against the visitors, but it is the hosts strong home record that we beleive will see them through to all three points on Saturday.
Newcastle manager Steve Bruce has dismissed suggestions midfielder Matty Longstaff is not playing because he has not signed a new contract. The 20-year-old has played just 35 minutes as a substitute in the Premier League since the season resumed. This debate that I'm not putting Matty in the team simply because of his contract is not true," said Bruce. He said Newcastle had "made the boy a huge offer", adding: "We think a lot of him and the ball is in his court.
Good morning! Krumkachs started the season perfectly, winning two weak teams with a good handicap, but 2 extreme matches showed weak results, especially against Lokomotiv Gomel. Yes, Loko are good this season, but it was extremely shameful to merge at 0-4, especially since Naftan played a draw with them and scored 3 goals on the road. It is also worth noting the game in personal meetings, and here is the advantage of Team 2. I think you can safely try with zero odds. Last season, Naftan was stronger away and was homeless.
Lazio will host Juventus for this fixture of the league. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this season. Of course, Juventus is the best team in this league. They are undefeated in this campaign. True, the visitors lost important points. In last game Juventus played in a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo. Also, we have Lazio who's is also strong team in this season. Lazio are in solid shape. They have five consecutive victories. No doubt, the hosts will try to make a positive result. However, this will not be an easy task. So, the visitors lost points on the previous match and do not wish to make the same mistake this time as well. I think, Juventus will closer to victory.
