They are only small details, like the way he jockeyed Villa players rather than lunging in, or kept his legs close together inside the area so a cross could not get through them, but they all make a difference. With Jonny, I would describe his style as low-risk defending because he does not commit himself and risk a foul or leave himself off balance and unable to recover, whatever the attacker does.
We are going to believe in our chances. Spain coach Luis Enrique, whose team face Sweden, Poland and Playoff winner B in Bilbao: "For me, Bilbao is one of the best stadiums in Europe alongside Wembley -- it's marvellous, superb.

Equal pay means paying women players the same rate for winning a game as men get paid," she said. The argument that women are paid enough if they make close to the same amount as men while winning more than twice as often is not equal pay.

We said he must've fallen asleep, he wasn't in his house… this guy, he went to a party the night before and on the way back he just dropped on the side of the road. They found him still asleep on the road. A fantastic team-mate, always creating a good atmosphere. Best manager played under?"Arrigo Sacchi. I was very blessed, had very good coaches, but Sacchi was in those years a step ahead of everyone.

Attention now turns to the Champions League for Zidane's side, who host Paris St-Germain on Tuesday (20:00 GMT).
I really see no reason why Hartberg could not finish this season on the top 3 places and play in Europe next season because they beat LASK away from home with 2-1 while last round they came from being 2-1 behind at AC Wolfsberger and won the game with no less than 4-2, on the downside in their only game at home after the break they were demolished by Salzburg but there is really no side in the league at this stage capable of comparing their strength with Salzburg right now, and Hartberg is not that defensive minded.

These two sides are both from Belarus. It's a club friendly game. The host Krumkachy will be playing their very first friendly game and they seem to be better side coming to this game after recent wins against Smorgon. The last meeting between these two sides was won by Krumkacy 5-0 that was December of last year. Smorgon come to this game in a very good run of form after their latest friendly win against Molodechno 0-5 away from home which was their second win on the spin.

They were arguably unfortunate to find themselves behind after a relatively even first half against Leeds, but were comprehensively outplayed by their visitors during the second period. Before Roberts' late double the Whites struck the woodwork for a second time when Jack Harrison's brilliant curling effort bounced back off the upright, while Helder Costa twice forced Long into smart saves. Substitute Norbert Balogh went closest to scoring for Hull, clipping the outside of the post from just inside the box, but the Tigers were well short as they slipped to a third straight defeat.
It would be wrong to say Solskjaer has saved himself from joining Marco Silva, Quique Sanchez Flores, Unai Emery and Mauricio Pochettino among the recent managerial fall-guys. That was not a prospect. The man himself dismissed the headlines about fearing for his job as lies. And inside Old Trafford, among the people who count, the feeling is that Manchester United are in the process of a rebuild. And they feel the trajectory is upwards, even as they acknowledge there will be difficult days - like those already experienced this season at Bournemouth and Newcastle.
Troy Deeney scored twice as Watford overcame a red card to Adrian Mariappa to beat Aston Villa 3-0 in a big game at the bottom of the table. Watford were leading 1-0 when Adrian Mariappa was shown a second yellow card in the 57th minute for upending Villa's Henri Lansbury, although replays suggested he did not make contact in an attempt to win the ball.
Incredible soul, incredible heart, great connection with the crowd and they gave absolutely everything. So I think the best team lost but we deserved to win. Mourinho, who said the club's lengthening injury list was making it a difficult season, will grant his players an extra day off after their efforts, although there is no time for the sort of winter break being enjoyed by rival teams.
He was thrust into the starting line-up by then-manager Louis van Gaal after Anthony Martial was injured in the warm-up. Rashford scored twice in a 5-1 win. I had been on the bench at Watford and Leicester the previous November and not got on, so I think I would have made my debut at some point in the season. That night it was obviously unfortunate for Anthony that he got injured but it was an opportunity for me to speed up the process of playing for the first team.

Hosts Istanbul Basaksehir narrowly missed the title last season, finishing second, two points behind the winners and seem to have learned their lesson.

I've had quieter breakfasts, if I'm honest.

There has been a lack of former England players going into management in the last 10 to 15 years. When they finish nowadays, players have enough money not to have to do it.

Neymar alongside people who are in quarantine with him, people who travelled with him from Paris to Brazil," said his spokesman in a statement published by the Globo media group in Brazil.
Neman has a record of 1-2-2 so far after 5 rounds played of this season and it is a bit too much for a team at least middle of the league table material, watching them play very well in their only win of the season so far against a tough Vitebsk side winning the game with 2-0 at home, while they also drew 0-0 away at Soligorsk without really giving too many big scoring chances to their opponents. Last game from them was probably the weakest as they lost 2-0 away at Dinamo Minsk playing for the nil draw but conceded somewhere around the 60 minute, and the 2nd goal came at the last action of the game when the keeper was inside the opposition box and Dinamo scored with an empty net.
However Bale is not agitating for a move away from the club. Paper Round’s view: Bale is clearly settled with his life in Spain, and was not exactly desperate to leave last summer. The crisis in Madrid might change his views, but given he is likely safe where he is, it may reinforce his desire to enjoy his professional career at the biggest club in the world while he still has the contract that lets him do so.

Meanwhile, Leeds ended a three-game winless run with a 5-4 victory at Birmingham on Sunday. That thriller was just the latest high scoring clash for a Leeds side who are showing some defensive cracks once again. They’ve been sublime going forward in recent weeks, but their recent record at the back could give us an open game here.
I believe that home team will not have any problems to win in this match from Romanian Elite league. In this moment, they are second on the table and they are fighting for the title. Ok, seven points more is have Cluj, but in this league, after regular part of season, it will be play and play-offs, so they are still in the game. Rivals team who is very bad this season as a guest, so for me, they will not have big chances against Astra. Yes, home team will win here and I will try that option, it is real.
