Players play where they want to play and James, at that moment, wanted to play at Real Madrid -that’s why he stayed. Now, contracts are made when they have to be done and if they aren’t it’s because they don’t want them. Jurgen Klopp unconcerned about angering players with rotation Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he has not discussed rotation policy with his players and revealed he “can’t help” a player if they are angry about a lack of game time.
Even without coronavirus, I think he [Haaland] wouldn't leave," says Mueller. His father and him know he's a brand already. They are presenting him everywhere, Alf Inge is giving interviews in AS and Marca saying 'he could be interesting for Real Madrid, he could be interesting for Manchester United'.
TOKYO, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Striker Shinzo Koroki is very confident that Urawa Red Diamonds will turn the tables on Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal on Sunday as the Japanese side look to fight back from a first-leg loss to claim a record third Asian Champions League title. Andre Carrillo's solitary goal in Riyadh two weeks ago separates the teams ahead of their meeting at Saitama Stadium as Urawa aim to lift the trophy they won in 2007 and 2017.
Western Sydney Wanderers started the season well, keeping pace with the teams at the top of the league and having people consider them as title contenders. A draw and two losses in their last three games have left them six points behind Melbourne City at the top of the league and things aren’t looking quite as rosy for the team. They’ve still been scoring goals however, with three in their last two and will be confident they can find the net this weekend and potentially pick up a result.
Nevertheless, the Milan Derby win was enough to send Inter to the top of the table on 54 points, ahead of Juventus on goal difference. Yet Lazio lurk just one point behind in third, in the tightest Serie A title race in 18 years. Conte used his side’s uninspiring display against Napoli as an opportunity to remind the public that Juventus, who have won the last eight league titles in a row, remain the team to beat.
Their shape and style is pretty much set. Different players come in and out of the team but they don't really change the way they play, or their 4-3-3 formation. When you are as successful as they are, then you believe in what you do. They don't worry too much about where the opposition's strengths lie because they know that, if they perform well, they will win. Of course injuries will affect them, though, and I just wonder how they will cope without Fabinho against the Foxes.
There has been plenty of speculation about who Newcastle might buy this summer but who would be Bay's dream signing? "If it was a player who I think we could get, I'd like it to be Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona," he said. There has already been a lot of talk about him coming and I wonder if he just really enjoyed it in the Premier League when he was with Liverpool and he could come back to life with us.
WORLD CUP TO NOT BE IN ASIA China would be among the contenders if FIFA decide to change the rules on how the World Cup is rotated between regions. Asian countries are ruled out from hosting in 2030 because Qatar will stage the 2022 World Cup and current regulations prevent the same region from hosting either of the subsequent two tournaments.

Tampa are 6-7 for the season but at least that's one more win than in 2018. Even so, it's now 12 seasons without a post season play-off place, so back to the drawing board for next season. The Buccaneers are in good form though with three straight wins, last weekend seeing them get a narrow 38-35 win over Indianapolis Colts.
City's number 2 was talked about as a possible successor to Arsene Wenger when the Frenchman stepped down 18 months ago, but was eschewed in favour of former Paris Saint Germain boss Emery. Of course he’ll [Arteta] be a manager sooner or later, he’s young, always he’ll have that," said Guardiola. We are going to finish the season and in future I don’t know what will happen.

Barnsley have been charged by the Football Association after Stoke City's James McClean was allegedly subjected to sectarian abuse in the Championship game between the two sides in November. The Potters winger, 30, does not wear a poppy on his shirt for the games scheduled around Remembrance Day. McClean is from Londonderry, where in 1972 British soldiers shot civilian protestors during 'Bloody Sunday'.
However, the Bees did seal automatic promotion the following season and have been in the Championship ever since. Brighton may now be a Premier League club, but 23 years ago the Seagulls were fighting for their very survival. Fans spent most of the campaign protesting against the ownership of Bill Archer, who had sold the club's Goldstone Ground for redevelopment, and the side was cut adrift at the foot of Division Three.

Utrecht have only failed to score in 25% of their home games and Feyenoord have only failed to score in 25% of their away games, and we are confident that both teams will find the back of the net this weekend. Both teams have performed to a very similar standard this season but recent results suggest that Feyenoord’s performances have been improving, which is why we feel the visitors will secure a point on Sunday.
Augsburg picked up a big three points last time out in the Bundesliga versus fellow relegation battlers Paderborn. This week, they are set to host a struggling Hertha Berlin side at the WWK Arena. Augsburg will be looking for their second straight win versus a Hertha side who've lost their last three Bundesliga games.
Old Trafford will host four Premier League matches if the season resumes. It is understood the payments total £1m and cover more than 3,000 staff. The club also say staff will be paid should postponed fixtures be rearranged for another date. Newcastle UnitedNewcastle donated food, including 1,200 pies and a range of cold meats, to a foodbank to ensure they are redirected to some of the city's most vulnerable people after last weekend's match against Sheffield United was postponed.
Griffiths had gone into this tie having failed to find the net for nearly five hours, stretching back 13 games and five testing months. He made sure that 13 games did not become 14 games and he did it early. Only a dozen minutes had been played when he struck. Celtic had lost Nir Bitton to injury by then - Jozo Simunovic replaced him - and had created decent chances for Tom Rogic and Odsonne Edouard, but it was Griffiths who got the job done.
Kylian Mbappe scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain beat Monaco 4-1 in a rescheduled game to move eight points clear at the top of Ligue 1. The two sides had drawn 3-3 at the Parc des Princes just three days ago but PSG dominated this encounter. Mbappe turned in Angel di Maria's excellent ball to open the scoring before Neymar converted a penalty. Pablo Sarabia made it 3-0 and, while Tiemoue Bakayoko got one back for Monaco, Mbappe struck again.
With England having reached the semi-finals of three consecutive major tournaments, the news that Phil Neville will leave his role as the Lionesses' head coach in 2021 has opened a vacancy in one of the most sought-after positions in the global women's game.

The unprecedented shutdown of world sport in response to the coronavirus spread that has infected more than 134,000 people and killed around 5,000 also prompted organisers to postpone the Formula One motor races in Vietnam and Bahrain. This weekend's season opener in Australia was cancelled only hours before the first practice session.
And why Fred wasn't judged to have pushed Azpilicueta, who in turn pushed Brandon Williams, when Chelsea's goal was disallowed I will never know. The only speck of genuine quality in an otherwise ordinary match was Wan-Bissaka's wonderful cross for Anthony Martial to score. Wan-Bissaka was also responsible for the most fantastic block on Pedro. The former Crystal Palace defender is starting to look a much better player with the ball at his feet.

He was able to name nine substitutes for the first time since the restart, including Chris Wood, Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Robbie Brady, but had to cope without captain Ben Mee and midfielder Jack Cork because of injury. The Clarets continue to find a way to achieve results, though. After all, this is a team who were three points above the relegation zone in January and are now eyeing a potential late run into the division's top third.
Both teams scored in 71% of Fortuna Sittard’s home games and 57% of Groningen’s away games this season and 71% of the host’s home games and the visitors’ away games have produced over 1.5 goals, adding weight to our prediction for a 1-1 draw. Fortuna Sittard have only kept clean sheets in 29% of their home games this season and the same can be said about Groningen in their away games, so we’re not expecting either side to keep a clean sheet this weekend.
JS Kabylie will host MC Oran for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the visitors will try to make a positive result. However, this will not be an easy task. Oran is one of the ambitious teams in this season. True, Oran is not very good team away from home. In last game Oran played in a 0-0 draw with Biskra. Also, we have JS Kabylie who's is very average team in this campaign. However, the hosts are better at home. I think, they will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. I expect, this will be tense match. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
Gregg, a Northern Ireland international, helped rescue some of his teammates and other passengers after the plane crash in Munich on Feb.

Nine-man AS Monaco lost 3-1 at Nimes after taking the lead before Tiemoue Bakayoko and Gelson Martins were sent off in the first half, the latter for pushing referee Mikael Lesage. At the Parc des Princes, Sarabia put PSG ahead against Montpellier after eight minutes when he curled a fine shot into the top corner.
It was fantastic for everyone connected to the club but it was mixed in many ways because of my own experiences being a fan and being an ex player," he said. A lot of demons were put to bed, not all of them, but certainly I felt a lot better when Liverpool got over the line recently. I look back every day (at not winning a Premier League title) and I think I will forever and ever. It is the one that eludes me in terms of being a player and it would have completed the set.
Considering both sides’ dreadful defensive record of late, we’re not expecting any clean sheets here. Both teams have scored in nine of Manchester United’s 14 league outings this season and in 11 of Spurs’ 14 fixtures, so backing Both Teams to Score looks a good choice here.
Serdar's curled low shot gave the hosts a deserved win after they dominated the second half as gutsy Union ran out of gas. Schalke are level on 25 points with leaders Borussia Moenchengladbach who welcome Freiburg on Sunday. Champions Bayern Munich, a point behind, host Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. Schalke took the lead with a powerful Benito Raman strike in the 23rd but the in-form Berliners had a string of good chances before levelling with a Marcus Ingvartsen penalty 13 minutes later.
Wayne Rooney says the government and football authorities have treated footballers as "guinea pigs" during the coronavirus outbreak. Elite football in Britain has been suspended until at least 3 April, with the Premier League saying "conditions at the time" will determine its return. For players, staff and their families it has been a worrying week," he said. One in which you felt a lack of leadership from the government and from the FA and Premier League.
We’re also waiting to hear why a publicly funded health service needs extraordinary donations from footballers in the first place. And Matt, we’ve got time to wait. Just us and the bread here. Rising and proving. Proving and rising. And that damned owl. Oh, how we hate him. Vote! Vote! Vote! An intriguing experiment in democracy from north of the border.
At the start of this new season in Cyprus these two clubs met at AEL who won at home with just 1-0 in the end, so not that many goals being scored in that game, but same thing happened last season when they met at AEL that time the hosts won the game with 2-0 in the end, but the game played in the league between them here at Doxa ended in a game with 7 goals scored as the team of Doxa scored 3 times but it was not enough even for a single point as they ended up losing the game with 4-3 in the end.
Smorgon will host Volna Pinsk for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a tough match for both sides. Yeah, Smorgon have advantage at home stadium. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. True, I think, this will not be an easy task. I expect, the visitors will try to make a positive result. Yeah, Volna is very average team in this league. Nevertheless, the visitors have the potential against this opponent. After all, this will be a very tight match. On the other hand the visitors will try to remain unbeaten in this game.
Brighton are not exactly going great either and I am a bit worried about my old team because they do not seem to be able to kill sides off. The Seagulls are easy on the eye and more attack-minded under Graham Potter than they were under his predecessor Chris Hughton but they still don't score enough goals. I admire the fact Potter likes to play out from the back but his side don't appear to have a great deal of guile in midfield and the way they play just allows teams to sit in against them.
As a result, investment in the sport in China has skyrocketed in the six years since Xi - a well-known football fan - came to power, although the fortunes of the national team lag behind the leading nations in Asia. China have only qualified for the World Cup once, in 2002, and have never won the Asian Cup, last reaching the final on home soil in 2004.
