It’s fair to say that the new man is starting from a significantly lower base. To take an example at random, here’s the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust: "There are obviously concerns about how José and our Club’s Executive Board will work together, and we are sure all fans would appreciate greater clarity on how the Club sees this relationship operating in practice.
For the club and for him it's best and we say 'Okay, if you want to leave, you only have two or three months on your contract and it's better to go and we are concentrating on developing other players. Walker-Peters made just 24 senior appearances for Spurs, including five this season, while Soares has been a Southampton regular since joining in 2015.
Lyon, only seventh in Ligue 1, had other ideas. Resolute throughout, they limited Ronaldo and his side to a grand total of zero shots on target as they wrapped up a 1-0 win. Juventus' number seven was not the only frustrated figure. Fans and pundits took to social media and the overall feeling is that if Ronaldo can't drag Juve to the final, then nobody can. Lyon earn surprise first-leg win over JuventusHow did you rate the players in Real Madrid v Man City? Maybe even Ronaldo himself believes he might have to do it all by himself.
HEROES AND ZEROS Hero: Mr Roger Kirkpatrick Magnificent. Zeroes: Brescia Hot on the heels of their president Massimo Cellino making a racist joke about Mario Balotelli, refusing to apologise for it and calling it banter, Brescia announced the dismissal of head coach Fabio Grosso on Monday after a whopping three games in charge, replacing him with Eugenio Corini.
And yet, there are still stories of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho being worth £100m and Tottenham forward Harry Kane being valued at £200m. Read BBC Sport's gossip columnI will be more coveted as a free agent - VertonghenOne senior source at a leading Premier League club said they were "staggered" that those values were still being suggested. Football will have to adjust to a new reality, and the transfer market is one area which could be hardest hit.
France defender Wendie Renard says the trophy she received for being named in Fifa's team of the year has gone missing after being left on a train. The 29-year-old misplaced a suitcase containing two of her trophies on the Paris-Lyon service on Thursday. When she returned to the station, staff from train operator SNCF gave her the bag but only one trophy was inside. Renard, who came sixth in this year's Women's Ballon d'Or, has appealed for help in retrieving the missing trophy.
Injuries have kept the winger out of regular first team action for Diego Simeone’s side so far thisside. Paper Round’s view: The excuse of gastroenteritis is a useful one if there is some subterfuge going on. It is something that could be easily ‘resolved’ if any transfer falls through, and could also be something that causes him to miss training if talks continue to progress until the last minute in the January transfer window.
This isn't like the racism we've experienced many others in Italy in the recent period, this is superficial and unfortunate of people not understanding of how messages can be mixed up in words and perceived in a bad way," Calvo told BBC Radio 5 Live. All of us who work in football have a bigger responsibility, which is giving the right message to people, being a role model and trying to educate people.
Barca's statement acknowledges that 13 Ventures is a service provider to the club but insists that the company has no relationship with any of the accounts mentioned. The statement read: "With regards to information published today about the contracting of a company dedicated to creating opinion on social media with a view to damaging the image of third parties related directly or indirectly with the Club, FC Barcelona: "1.
This two rivals are playing very good in this moment and I believe that this match will bring at least three goals and with a little luck and even more than that, that is clear. So, M'Gladbach is team who is played very good in first match after brake because of Corona Virus and probably this team will continue this way and this time. Leverkusen is beat, on the other side, Werder, very very easy, 4-1 and I believe it will be very similar and this time. Just, plenty of goals is really good and very real option here, it is clear.
This is another match from Belarusian Premier league where I will try with home win, what is pretty real to expect in this duel. Firstly, I can say here that this two rivals are similar qualities and in duels like this one is, mostly home teams are have advantage and they are, as a rule, closer to win. So, Slutsk is played really brilliant last match in league, when they are beat Isloch 3-2 as a guests, and for me, that is probably best match so far in this league, from the start of season. Home team will win here.
Liverpool's Roberto Firmino scored his first Premier League goal at Anfield in 20 appearances, ending a run of 1,591 minutes of play and 56 attempted shots without scoring at the ground since he netted against Tottenham in March 2019, 479 days ago. With their assists against Chelsea, Andy Robertson (27) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (26) are now the outright top two defenders for most Premier League assists for Liverpool, both ahead of Stig Inge Bjornebye (25).
Ings scored the equaliser against Crystal Palace on Saturday for his eighth goal in as many starts to take his overall tally for the campaign to 14, as Southampton climbed to 15th with 22 points from 20 games. The 27-year-old, who played only 14 games in three years at Liverpool due to a number of injuries, is on course for his best season since returning to his boyhood club in 2018.
Paper Round's view: It's going to be very tough for Brewster to break into the Liverpool team at the moment. Origi has proved how valuable he can be in the biggest matches, but even he can barely claim a starting spot ahead of Roberto Firmino. Moving to a Championship club in January would allow the youngster to prove to the Reds what he can do when he gets the opportunities and is allowed to put some form together.
They kick off at 5. Video - Henderson – Salzburg tie is Liverpool’s biggest game of the season00:24 11:15 - A new Ronaldo? Marcus Rashford has rediscovered his form pretty quickly, to the delight of every Manchester United fan and certainly his manager. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was asked whether he saw any similarities between Rashford and the great Cristiano Ronaldo, and couldn't help but pay the Englishman an enormous compliment.
Asteras Tripolis fc have 2 win and 3 losses in the last 5 matches. They have scored 10 goals and conceded 7 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 2 and lose 1 of their last 5 games scoring 8 goals and conceding 6 goals.
BELGRADE, March 19 (Reuters) - The Serbian government is set to press charges against the country's Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic for breaking his mandatory 28-day coronavirus quarantine, the state Tanjug news agency said on Thursday. The prosecutor's office in Belgrade confirmed to Tanjug that it has instructed the police to press charges against soccer player Luka Jovic for breaching self-isolation measures after arriving in Serbia from Spain," the agency said.
BATE has been phenomenal in its games both the major league and the reserved league. They had good winning streaks in their previous games as well as good winning streaks against the away team. Both sides are undoubtedly good and will do their best to win. There will be over 2.5 goals scored in this game and a scoreline of 2-1 or 3-2 is definite to happen in this game. All games that both sides had played, The home side has been the force to reckon with this the home side will take the victory in this game at the end of the day.
The Bees raced into a 3-0 lead thanks to goals from their three forwards - Said Benrahma, Bryan Mbeumo and Ollie Watkins - and could have been five or six up at the break. Benrahma slotted in from a cleverly worked corner, Mbeumo finished smartly first time and Watkins headed in his 18th league goal of the season from close range as the hosts looked like scoring with every attacking move. QPR improved after the break and pulled a goal back through Nahki Wells' tap in, but Brentford closed out the game to move to within six points of the top two, Leeds and West Brom.
Given the defensive exploits of both this term, 'Over 2.5 Goals' appears to be slightly generously priced in the early betting. Both teams have struggled when it comes to conceding shots on target, while both have also floundered in terms of goals conceded. Hearts have shipped an average of 1.5 at home, while Livingston have shipped an average of 2.25. Add in the fact that neither side has struggled to score – Hearts have scored in five out of six at home, averaging 1.67 for, while Livingston have scored in seven out of eight on the road, averaging 1.5 – and it's easy to feel that a relatively high-scoring game is a tad more likely than the early prices suggest.

Ciro Immobile became the first player in 61 years to reach 27 Serie A goals after 25 matches as Lazio moved back within one point of leaders Juventus.

An arbitration panel appointed by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) found he had terminated his contract and fined him 61,000 euros (£50,701). So Riza appealed, first to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), then the Swiss Federal Court, and ultimately to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Last month, Riza - who has retired as a player and is now coaching at Watford's academy - heard he had finally won a decade-long legal battle.
You need to be lucky but I have always tried to give myself the best opportunity. Diet and gym work, I did all that early in my career as Leeds. I have always tried to push myself and always having to work and grind has definitely helped my mental strength. That competitive streak was always driven into me as a kid. I wanted to be the best and at the front.

Last season Legge was unavailable for two Vale games after four seizures in one day while at home. While at Cambridge I had one in a hotel room before a game at Accrington. Ben Williamson, my room-mate, rushed to get the physio," he adds. When I was first diagnosed I didn't really know anyone who had my condition so I faced it alone. Since then I've spoken to other players who have had seizures and how they have coped - Matt Crooks [now at Rotherham] being one.
Again, it worked perfectly but like every formation it came with a calculated risk versus reward. Media playback is not supported on this device Foxes were 'absolutely amazing' on historical day - Brendan Rodgers Their diamond meant they dominated the centre of the pitch because they had four men versus three in the middle, so they outnumbered Villa there and won every second ball. That gave them the chance to get James Maddison on the ball, in space, a lot.
Watford's under-23 coach Hayden Mullins will oversee Saturday's fixture. Flores was dismissed on Sunday following the 2-1 defeat at Southampton, with the side bottom of the Premier League. He succeeded Javi Gracia, who was sacked in September. Pearson last managed in the Premier League at Leicester but was sacked in May 2015 and replaced by Claudio Ranieri, with the Foxes winning the Premier League title the following season.
NO! Newcastle United have the ball in the back of the net, but it's been ruled out for offside! Almiron's shot comes off the post and Carroll turns it home. He is indeed offside, though. GOAL! Newcastle United 1-1 Everton: It's an equaliser! Newcastle United have drawn themselves level and it's Schar with the goal! Carroll knocks down a set piece delivery and Schar was on hand to finish into the back of the Everton net! It was an instinctive finish from the defender.

Like Shakhtar, Atalanta are still in with a shout as far as making the qualifiers goes, but they must win this match and hope that Man City get the better of Zagreb. The second of those conditions seems more than reasonable, but beating Shakhtar on the road, quite simply, does not.
I thought Ancelotti's side were very unlucky not to beat Manchester United last weekend - I know Gylfi Sigurdsson was lying close to United keeper David de Gea but he was not obstructing his view - so I can see why the Toffees boss was unhappy with that decision. But I am going with Chelsea here. Most of their problems at home this season have come against lesser teams and I think they will be fully focused this time.
They played together nine times in the Premier League in the 2015-16 season, when Villa were relegatedAs a player, Jack stood out straight away when I joined Villa in 2015, despite basically just being a kid in a struggling team. Along with former Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson, I would class him as the best young player I played with - he was that good. I have spoken before about my first impressions of Sergio Aguero and how you could not tell how special he was by watching him in training, but then he came alive in matches.
I have grown up in the social media world, and it doesn't bother me whether I have 1,000 or 17,000 followers. Social media is a place, a horrible place at times, but it's also an incredible place and I'm very aware of what I post and the influence that I can have on people. There's always going to be that one person who comments on something - they always go for my hair - but you've just got to ignore them, you know what you're doing, it's through a screen and it doesn't mean anything.
He knew if he was prepared to go into battle wherever he felt it would benefit the club, others would join him because they would realise it was being done for the right motives. And the more players joined, the more a family atmosphere was created. Barriers were broken down. According to a club source, it was at Arteta's suggestion that a room was built for players' families, who would gather there for three hours or more at the end of a game.
Isco and Luka Modric scored either side of halftime to put Zinedine Zidane's side further at ease before Dani Parejo converted a consolation penalty for last year's Copa del Rey winners in added time.
