How he wants to learn from two of the bestIn Netherlands team-mate Virgil van Dijk and Juve's Giorgio Chiellini, De Ligt plays alongside two of the finest central defenders in the game. He said: "You try to pick some attributes from them to improve your own game, but in the end I think the most important thing is to observe them but not change your own style of play. I think every player has their own style, so I just try to see things I can improve on.

We had to win to regain our emotional equilibrium, to get rid of that frustration and we couldn't. And what is true is the social mass of Arsenal, which is very big, couldn't see it, couldn't connect with what was happening and it is true that in this situation, as happens in every country and with every team, the coach finds himself targeted. I spoke to the players three or four weeks before the process began to tell them that things were not going well and that I couldn't see the team I pictured on the field of play, I couldn't identify what I was looking for.

Deeney did not want to put his child, who has had breathing difficulties, "in more danger" and raised concerns over the increased risk to black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) players.

That will be a brilliant experience for our players and fans to have that part of the tournament at home. We then have to go on the road like everybody else and it becomes more like a normal tournament for the knockout phase. If we are good enough to get to the semi-finals then we have the advantage of that being at Wembley, which would be brilliant. Is getting to a semi-final at Wembley the target?It's hard to assess what our target would be.
I see good chances that this game shall end up in a 2-0 win for the guests, and I say this because Smolevichi played in the first league two seasons ago and back than when they hosted Soligorsk which is season after season one of the top clubs in this country they lost that time with 2-0. Also last season in the 2nd league level when Smolevichi finished inside the top 2 places and gained direct promotion to the first league they met Soligorsk also at home in the cup and also lost that game quite easy with 2-0 in the end.

That gives you a sense of perspective about what is really important at the moment. I don't think football clubs are immune or ignorant to that. But football is also a business that employs a lot of people. Either directly or indirectly, in our local community, 2,000 jobs depend on us. We want to try to get our businesses back to working again as soon as we can. We have to be respectful and we have to be patient.
Odds are already going down on the over lines and should be further lower by the time starts tomorrow morning as for example last season when they met here the game ended in a -2 win for the hosts, this while in this start of the season Green Gully lost all 3 games played conceding 8 goals total and only scored 2 goals in a 4-2 loss for them away from home at St Albans while at home got defeated with 2-0 by Hume City and Avondale but those two sides are very good in this start of the season.
Altach and Mattersburg will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga. Altach this season have the following results: 9W, 7D and 12L. Meanwhile Mattersburg have 7W, 5D and 16L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
slovacko is mainly favorite for the win here because bohemians is extremely bad on the road this season with 2-2-10 record but still it is very important for bohemians not to lose in this match so they could stay in playoff zone before the last round and on the other side it is not like slovacko has a huge motivation to play for something so I think it is very realistic we are not going to see a lot of goals and even 0-0 is not excluded but I think draw is the most realistic outcome and best betting option
Walter Ferreti is going to welcome Real Madriz fc on the ninth of this months,I know that the home team is in good form but I think the visitors will hold the home team so that they will shared the spoil. The hosting team have won their last home game while the visitors lost to Deportivo Las Sabanas by two goals to one. The guest is coming to this game thinking that they are going to heal their wound after they have suffered their last game. To compare the performance of these teams I see that they look to be even so draw is the best prediction
Above them resembles a relegation revolving door. West Ham United led Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 and 3-1 on Saturday -- with "live" tables showing them out of the relegation zone and Brighton in it. They ended up drawing 3-3, leaving them third from bottom and Brighton in 15th spot. Likewise Watford blew a 2-0 lead at home to Everton, losing 3-2 to stall their revival and leave them second bottom.
United doubled their lead in the 58th minute when Martial picked up his own rebound after Ben Foster blocked his initial attempt, left Etienne Capoue dumbfounded with dazzling footwork and dinked the ball over the keeper. Greenwood put the icing on the cake with another individual goal of the highest quality in the 75th minute, unleashing a piledriver into the top corner after he found space on the edge of the penalty area.
While Liverpool have won the Cup seven times, Shrewsbury have some FA Cup pedigree too, reaching the quarter-finals in 1978-79 when they lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers and 1981-82 when they fell to Leicester City.

Public support for companies and workers because of the coronavirus pandemic is aimed at safeguarding jobs and the business fabric and is made to be used," it said. The lay-off allows Belenenses SAD workers to benefit from this support. However, the SJPF said this was "an opportunist attitude on the part of football clubs in placing themselves in this position" and that they should not be using government funds.
WOODWORK! Zapata tees up Freuler who cracks a wonderful effort from the edge of the box against the crossbar. GOAL FOR VALENCIA!

Poor goalkeeping.
Both teams scored in 86% of Zwolle’s home games this season with an average of 4.86 goals being produced per game, while AZ’s away games average 3.13 goals and that adds more weight to our prediction for a 3-1 away win this weekend.

Juventus, already qualified, won the free kick just outside the penalty area and near the goal-line but the narrow angle did not deter the Argentine who fired his shot over the wall and in off the crossbar in the 45th minute.

The Premier League is hopeful of a potential 8 June resumption. The 20 club doctors have been holding their own discussions about Project Restart - the label given to plans to resume action - with a view to feeding their thoughts into the Premier League's leadership. A Premier League source told the BBC that they viewed the move by the medics as a natural part of the process with clubs, and a means of reaching "the best possible set of protocols".

We're approaching the final stretch of a marathon football season. The coronavirus pandemic has made it a campaign like no other. Wolves, for one, have had a season lasting longer than a year. But plenty of other remarkable (and in some cases bizarre) things have happened. Leicester won 9-0The Foxes equalled the Premier League's record win - set by Manchester United against Ipswich in 1995 - when they thumped Southampton 9-0 in October.
Individual errors cost BournemouthHaving taken a deserved early lead, Bournemouth boss Howe will be bitterly disappointed with the manner of Liverpool's two first-half goals.

Jimenez scored from the spot before completing the comeback in the 76th minute with his 19th goal for Wolves across all competitions this season.
I will be taking the asian handicap -1 on the hosts in this one although I would even jump on the -1.5 AH on the hosts because the guests despite winning last round with 3-0 at home against Juventus Managua are far from great on the road, I mean their last away game was a pure disaster playing away from home at an average Ferretti side and despite the score being just 2-0 against them by half-time in the second half they conceded 5 more goals to lose big with 7-0 in the end.
Sivasspor is in a very important stage of the season and just one defeat will make them pay with a championship or tickets to the European arena next season. If before the 26th round, Sivasspor temporarily ranked in 4th place with 49 points and they are only 2 points behind the top teams (the group participating in the Champions League season 2020/21) is only 3 points. Looking at the current situation, coach R. Çalımbay's team desperately needed a victory in the late game of the 26th round, so they put pressure on the opponents in the championship race of the Turkish league.
Think about the top leagues. We have sold our broadcasting rights based on certain formats. We have 20 clubs and 380 matches played during a specific period of time. Uefa has also sold its rights based on a format, including the qualifiers and the group phase. This applies to everyone. Javier Tebas has been La Liga's president since 2013'It's complicated to get players to accept less money'Tebas revealed La Liga has received 90% of its broadcasting right payments.
Six arrests were made following December's match as part of the Metropolitan Police operation at the fixture, but none were linked to the incident involving Rudiger.

The club said they had worked with professional lip-readers, and that all reports had also been reviewed by police.
Inverness CT will host Queen of the South for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts have better team than their opponent. Inverness is one of the best teams in this season. However, the hosts have highly variable results in the last matches. In previous game Inverness lost 2-0 against weak Alloa. Also, we have Queen of South who's is one of the teams of relegation zone. The visitors have less potential. In last game Queen of the South played in a 1-1 draw with Dunfermline. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task. However, this will be a very unpredictable league. Also, they have the motivation to change their positions.

United have been linked with a £40 million move for the 23-year-old player, though Chelsea are believed to be interested. Tottenham could also be in the market for the player as Jose Mourinho was keen on the player when the manager was at United. Paper Round’s view: If Diop is able to move for just £40m and is still only 23, then he could prove to be something of a bargain.
I asked our doctor before the game whether the goal counts if we do that. That was the most important thing to me. We are passionate footballers and not robots. Practice-like atmosphereThe actual football has not changed much. Following a slow start with several muscle injuries, the tempo and fitness levels have visibly increased to a level close to what they were in February and March. Without crowds, home advantage has been eliminated while the actual playing time is higher than in matches with crowds because of shorter interruptions.

It's another Merseyside derby in the FA Cup. Liverpool beat Everton at home in the third round two years ago and look to repeat that win this weekend. A weakened line-up will be fielded but their strong squad will still see them fielding a strong line-up. Anfield continues to be a fortress and they take on an Everton side that still haven't won there in the 21st century. They have improved in recent weeks but their squad isn't as strong as that of their neighbours. Go for a home win.
It's devastating. We had belief before the game and we didn't perform. This is the Champions League, if you don't step up you will be punished. After the first one went in it didn't change much but we conceded too many chances as a team. It's hard to come back from those two goals. We had to show our maturity and fight and we didn't do that.
