The biggest satisfaction of all,' he said, 'is to win. Rory Smith meets N’Golo Kante for the New York Times, and manages to find a new angle on one of the most eulogised players in football. COMING UP It's a London derby in The Championship tonight as Fulham take on QPR - remember to watch highlights of that, and all the EFL action, on Quest on Saturday evening.
Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell added: "While it is important to re-emphasise there is no research to suggest that heading in younger age groups was a contributory factor in the findings of the FIELD study into professional footballers, nevertheless Scottish football has a duty of care to young people, their parents and those responsible for their wellbeing throughout youth football.
That has become the new article of faith among VAR supporters. But, as with the system itself, it won't remove the controversies over final decisions that rely on a judgment call, with or without video replays. TALK OF UNITED CRISIS MAY BE PREMATURE An impressive midfield performance from recent signing Bruno Fernandes, a wonderfully cheeky goal from Anthony Martial and superb strike from teenager Mason Greenwood -- it was a good day for Manchester United as they beat Watford 3-0 at Old Trafford and moved up to fifth place.
West Ham is in 17th place with 23 points, same points as Bournemouth and Watford that are in the relegation zone. They needs points here to avoid the relegation zone. Against them are the best team of the moment Liverpool. Liverpool is in the first place with 67 points, 16 points more than Manchester City and they have no losses this season.
Three Liverpool players in the top five there, which is an achievement in itself. MESSI WINS HIS SIXTH BALLON D'OR What an achievement. The GOAT? Might well be. Virgil van Dijk comes in second with five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo third. Just to round out the top five by the way, Sadio Mane was fourth and Mo Salah sixth.
A modern player wants to play at the European championship, at the World Cup, in a top league in Europe. The choice of national team is about how do he has a better chance of achieving these goals and, for me, that is fine. But he added that players would inevitably face fierce competition for places if they chose Germany or Switzerland, and that playing for Kosovo had helped numerous players in their club careers.
Schalke said on Wednesday they were in a potentially "existence-threatening" financial situation, with the league having stopped since mid-March and not expected to resume before May, and have asked more fans to pitch in. There are many offers (from fans) to refuse a rebate for their season tickets or day tickets already purchased and we consider these financial gestures as something special," Schalke said in a statement.

The 21-year-old was part of the England side that won the European Under-19 Championship in 2017. He was the first player of Asian heritage to captain an England football side, having done so at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-19 levels. Suliman is set to sign a four-and-a-half-year contract with Vitoria, who are sixth in the Primeira Liga.
Around 600 people die each year because of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). At first, Legge's seizures happened during the day - he was unable to drive until he was 21 - and were triggered by tiredness or when he was ill and his immune system was weak. Then the seizures developed a familiar pattern. I started having them in my sleep," says Legge, whose wife Christina has been a huge support as he battles the condition.
Hi! Southampton host the Watford at own stadium. Southampton played out a 2:2 draw at Arsenal in their last Premier League fixture. What a mess, to make a tie-ending game with leading twice in this fixture. I hope - next time it will not happens. Meanwhile, Watford have failed to take the points against the Burnley, as they lost 3:0 at home. With that huge loss, they are sitting in league table bottom. Both outsiders are competing with each other for the victory, but will they need it? What manages the any-side win to them? To climb out from the relegation zone? I don't think so, and predicting on a tie match as well (their last 2 meetings have ended even on that way). Good game! :)
The hosts are aiming to build on their excellent record both at home and in Serie A overall. The Sardinians have scored 25 goals across their 13 games this season. The Rossoblu have hit four goals in six of their last seven Serie A games, while they’ve scored at least twice in four of their last five home matches. That form is boosted by their excellent finishing. Cagliari have the highest shot conversion rate (17.5%) in Serie A this season.
Considering that they managed to avoid going into a group with any of the real big-hitters, Benfica would've had their sights set on thriving, though they've ended up struggling in Group G. Qualification is still possible, though the Portuguese outfit will have to better Zenit's 3-1 win in the reverse fixture and hope that Lyon get beat. In truth, it looks a big ask.
The Lakers (49-14) were the only team in the conference to have clinched a playoff spot, and they still had 19 regular-season games remaining. I can (hopefully) have some satisfaction on what our team has been able to do this year," James said. Having a first-year coach, first-year system, a whole new coaching staff, I honestly didn't think that we'd be able to come together as fast as we did.
Palace win again outside the capital - the statsCrystal Palace have won their past four league meetings with Burnley, as many victories as they managed in their previous 18 encounters (W4 D8 L6).

Chelsea are on the fourth place with 51 points. They are looking for Top 4 finish and to secure Champions League participation for the next season. The actual form is good, the Blues beat Aston Villa on the first match after the break. Overall, Chelsea have won the last three matches in all competitions.

To blame Pulisic, who has scored five goals in his last four Premier League games, would be unfair, though. He was among Chelsea's best players as he attacked from the left, with Reece James also showing plenty of endeavour down the right. Manager Frank Lampard, who had a stellar record against former team West Ham while playing for Chelsea, was missing top scorer Tammy Abraham, who injured his hip in the 2-2 draw at Valencia in the Champions League in midweek.
Sadly, it's the latest in a string of high-profile incidents that make footballers, and the rest of the game, look a bit naff. Jack Grealish crashed his car. Kyle Walker hosted a sex party. Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Norwich furloughed their staff, although the former tried to win credit for backtracking.
Very little happened during the remainder of the game, with a draw an adequate result for both sides. But City who fancy themselves potential champions, will need to do a lot better than this when the knockout stages begin. TALKING POINT Have City lost a step? I'm sure they'll still hand out some hidings, and were they to pull it off they'd not be the first good team to win the European Cup once past their best, but City don't look like what they once did: their passing is slower, their pressing is sporadic and the movement is less sharp.
This is known as being ‘on furlough’. Your employer could pay 80% of your wages through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, up to a monthly cap of £2,500. You’ll still be paid by your employer and pay taxes from your income. You cannot undertake work for your employer while on furlough. The decision of a few clubs - namely Tottenham, Newcastle, Liverpool, Norwich and Bournemouth - to furlough non-playing staff has been met with widespread anger.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has confirmed that United are in for the striker but hopes to retain his services. I’m not going to deny anything that you’ve read, but I don’t want to talk too much about it. Josh is much valued and loved by us. Let’s wait and see. He’s a massive, massive part of our team.
Braga remained a danger, however, and Paulinho looped a far-post header too high before Trincao curled a shot through Borna Barisic's legs and just past the post. There was no real indication of the tide turning as the second half began with Braga again in the ascendancy. Glen Kamara's misplaced header put Joao Palhinha in on goal, with the striker's heavy touch getting the hosts off the hook. A miscued Morelos cross from the right flank then deceived Matheus and almost ended up in the top corner.
Last season both these teams finished in the top 6 teams the normal season, they met 3 times at Ulsan who won all those home games once with 2-0 and two times with 2-1 while the first game between them last season was here at this stadium, and both teams had their scoring chances, but Ulsan had about 10 shots on target including an early penalty kick missed by their top striker Brazilian veteran Negao who usually does no mistake from the penalty spot but did just that back then and it somehow ended without a single goal.
Peterborough haven’t had quite such a cheery festive fixture list. They were hammered 4-0 at Rotherham on Sunday to follow on from a 3-0 Boxing Day drubbing against Doncaster. Still, they sit in a promising 6th position and lie just two points adrift of 2nd placed Oxford United, so there is plenty of reason for optimism.

The Villains do have undoubted talent in their midst, as their 5-1 demolition of Norwich in October showed. However, there’s a distinct feeling that this team hasn’t quite gelled yet, and that is hampering their chances of pushing up the table.

So a club can manage that. In-stadium, it would have to be stewarded very strictly. It would probably be the same number of stewards as a normal matchday. It then has to be a value judgment on whether the whole thing is worth it. A reopening of corporate hospitality facilities is a logical "first step towards letting fans in", Southern adds. Is league reconstruction still a factor?This becomes even more pertinent if some lower-league clubs opt to go into cold storage.

But Brentford's back-to-back defeats in their final two games helped take top-flight football back to The Hawthorns, 14 months after being knocked out of last season's play-offs by neighbours Aston Villa. ReactionWest Brom boss Slaven Bilic: "(Promotion) is at the top (of his achievements). You don't know how exhausting it was this season. You can't imagine how proud and happy I am. I managed my country for six years and I said no matter which club I manage nothing will compare when you are manager of your national team.

Three of the last five Bayern Munich home games have seen both teams score a goal. Both of these clubs have already qualified for the knock-out stages of the Champions League. They have dominated the group and Bayern have already won it, having won all five of their games. However, Tottenham arrive in Germany in far better form than they have been for a while and look to get some revenge for the 7-2 home loss to the Germans.
All things considered, we think the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned is on the Both Teams to Score line. Ceara have scored in each of their last 5 home games, plunging home an average of 1.4 goals a game in the process and with Athletico having notched in their last 10 away games, it's not hard to imagine both nets being hit, with an evenly fought 1-1 draw appearing on the cards.
The home side will meed to get over their exit from the Carabao Cup at the semi-final stage. They surprisingly lost to Aston Villa and now need to concentate on finishing in the top four and perhaps winning the FA Cup. City begin the game with a an eight point lead over their opponents and 14 clear of Manchester United in fifth.
