He came to see me in my house and told me he wanted to lead the team at Euro 2020 and afterwards he would be happy to be my assistant coach again. I understand that he has worked very hard to be the coach and that he is ambitious - but for me that is disloyal. I would never do something like that and I don't want someone with those characteristics in my staff.

Marcus Rashford says Manchester United are only showing "half of what we can do" following their Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg defeat on Tuesday. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side lost 3-1 to rivals Manchester City and have now lost seven of their past 10 home matches against their local rivals. United have lost two and drawn one of their three fixtures in 2020. We need to keep fighting to find that extra percentage that will win us games," Rashford, 22, said.
Real were one of the only major football clubs in Europe that didn't have a women's team. Lyon forward Ada Hegerberg, the first winner of the Women's Ballon d'Or in 2018, said the creation was "a huge positive". The 24-year-old added: "I'm hoping they will stabilise the investment over a long period and that they have a long-term perspective because it can't happen overnight. Tacon, formed in 2014, went on a recruitment drive after promotion to the Spanish women's top flight last season, knowing there was the likelihood of a takeover.
But an 11th game without defeat means they are now on their longest unbeaten run in the top flight since 1962 and are looking well placed to challenge for a top-six finish. Man of the match - Diogo Jota (Wolves) After going 11 games without scoring this was a welcome return to form in front of goal for Diogo Jota, who looked sharp throughout and linked up superbly with Raul JimenezWhat next?Brighton are not in action again until Monday, 16 December when they travel to Crystal Palace in the Premier League (19:45 GMT) while Wolves host Besiktas in their final Europa League group game on Tuesday, 12 December (20:00 GMT).
Vitebsk will host Minsk for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts have better team than their opponent. Vitebsk is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 11th place with 18 points. Also, the hosts are undefeated in their last matches. In previous game Vitebsk is won 0-1 against Ruch Brest. Also, we have Minsk who's is team of the relegation zone. Minsk have a poor results. They have two consecutive losses. In any case, Minsk have the motivation to change their positions. I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
While the extent of the injury was unclear, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers offered some positive news, saying it was not a hamstring problem. It is not his hamstring which is good. Hopefully over the next couple of days it will ease off and he will be fit," he said. Jamie is a real talisman for the team but if we are going to have success it is about the team.
The move comes in the closed period before Ireland play their play-offs for Euro 2020. Virtual Grand National set to go ahead The Virtual Grand National is due to run in 21 minutes.

After finishing just one place above the drop zone last season, BorehamWood are looking a much stronger outfit this time around. On paper, the side have the quality to be a reasonable force in the National League and just 1 point short of the play-offs heading into the weekend, the side will be hoping to push for promotion in the coming months.
My feeling is we may be able to train again within two weeks," he added. Everything will be finished without fans, I think. That is not really interesting for anyone, but this season will be finished. The financial aspect is far too important in the Premier League. If the season is not finished, it will cause serious problems. Asked about comments from his City team-mate Sergio Aguero, who said some players were scared to return because of the threat of the virus, De Bruyne said: "I don't think people are really afraid for themselves, but for their family.
Playing in a month or two are totally different games. PLENTY OF PROPOSALS FLOATING AROUND Serie A will hold an emergency assembly on Wednesday to try and find a co-ordinated approach and it will not be short of suggestions. One is that the matches which were postponed over the weekend be played between March 7 and 9 -- including the heavyweight clash between Juventus and Inter Milan -- and the matches currently scheduled for those days be moved forward.
In Mourinho, Tottenham sought to bring a big-name in as a status symbol but his best years were simply a decade ago and acrimonious spells at Chelsea and United do not augur well for his long-term prospects. The league provides plenty in the way of unpredictability and underdog storylines to sustain its interest, but the drop off in actual ability is stark.
Accrington is in good form at this moment even winning a home game with Bolton with no less than 7-1 in the league lately as in their last 6 league games they are 4-2-0 at this moment, they have won recently with 1-0 away at Blackpool or 2-0 win at home a few days ago against a decent Burton side, and I trust they should be able to win this one by at least one goal difference in the end as well.
Chemnitzer and Ingolstadt will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Chemnitzer this season have the following results: 9W, 10D and 11L. Meanwhile Ingolstadt have 12W, 10D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Energetik was underestimated in this season, for at least two times in the previous three round, but they make their place at the top of the league, with all three winning matches. Leaders are going to Zhodino to face torpedo, which also begin well, but failed to make any chance in the recent loss to Dynamo in Minsk.
Davies says: "It's not about taking options away - it's about adding more into the mix. Levy serves a number of other big sports clubs and venues, including Aston Villa, Cardiff City, Leicester City, tennis' All England Club, Edgbaston cricket ground and Harlequins Rugby. And Davies has not ruled out introducing vegan-only kiosks at other arenas. We'd be interested in rolling this out around the country," he says.
Having lost their last two, Blackburn aren’t exactly arriving on a high. However, before that pair of defeats they were on an eight-game unbeaten run. The visitors are looking return to form by capitalising on this current Birmingham side. The Blues look to be there for the taking, so we can see the visitors getting a result here.
Liverpool are currently on course to get 110, and the scary thing is that they genuinely look capable of doing it. They look, quite literally, unstoppable. The only thing which can prevent Liverpool winning the league now is an apocalyptic meteor strike in the next couple of months which would mean that Sadio Mane failing to get his hands on a much-deserved trophy would be the last of our problems.
The early betting ahead of this match points towards both teams not finding the net on Tuesday evening, though it's tough to go along with that. On their own patch, Spurs should have more than enough quality to hurt Boro, but they're simply not defending well and haven't been for a long time. Middlesbrough deservedly got on the scoresheet when the pair recently met, and the way in which they looked a threat both on the break and at set-pieces bodes well ahead of the replay. Tottenham have scored plenty of home goals this season, but they've kept very few clean sheets, shutting their opponents out in just one of their last ten domestic home matches.
Warta Poznan will host Radomiak Radom for this fixture of the league. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this campaign. Of course, both teams want to get a positive result. I believe, Warta have better team than their opponent. In any case, Warta have advantage at home stadium. They probably want to stay in the race for higher range. Also, we have Radomiak Radom who's is very average team in this season. I think, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. True, Radomiak is not very good team away from home. My pick - Warta to win.
It's obvious that we need a player to come in and that they would help us out. Video - Hot-shot striker Lautaro Martinez attracts interest from a Premier League club - Euro Papers01:18 Reports in the Spanish media say they are looking at bringing in either Real Sociedad forward Willian Jose or Getafe's Angel Rodriguez.

Very proud of the players, the staff and we have fantastic supporters so I am very happy for everyone. Second-placed Tokyo came into the match needing to win by four goals to bring a first J. League title back to the capital but that never looked likely as Postecoglou’s side attacked with the fervour and precision that has served them so well this season.
The power that agents have is a natural bulwark against the hegemony imposed by the clubs, but until players’ rights are fairly established this will be a fight that continues every year.

That being said, their Premier League showing last weekend wasn’t much better. They were second best against Sheffield United for much of the game before an incredible seven minute spell saw them go from 2-0 down to 3-2 up. Of course, they then capitulated to let The Blades clinch a deserved equaliser.
Dinamo Moscow has made great strides this year, especially in the later part of the season. So far, Dinamo has won a total of 30 points through 8 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses. With the distance to the 5th place of CSKA being 6 points while there is still 1 match in hand, it is clear that Dinamo's ambition of Europe is still very bright. Before the tournament was interrupted in March, Dinamo had a series of 2 consecutive victories. As their match in the previous round was postponed, the biggest problem for Dinamo now is whether they can maintain their form after a break of more than 3 months. But it may also be an advantage for them, the careful preparation can lead Dinamo to victory in the upcoming derby.
Long way back - and will Howe now feel he can do no more?Pre-season prediction: 13thWhat I said in August: "Usual mix of top-class victories and heavy defeats that sums up Bournemouth's Premier League life under Eddie Howe last season - and I do not see anything different this time. Brighton & Hove Albion - 15thLooked in trouble for a while but new manager Graham Potter's calm leadership and shrewd signings such as Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard, allied to an altered passing style, saw some fine results (and some hefty losses admittedly).

A handful of teams have looked capable of matching Arsenal’s Invincibles since 2004, all have failed. The truth is that however exceptional a team is, they still need *everything* to go their way. If Ruud van Nistelrooy hadn’t smacked the bar with a penalty in September 2003, or Robert Pires hadn’t taken a dive against Portsmouth, there would have been no Invincibles.
Blackpool are enjoying a pleasing campaign all round, but their home efforts have been particularly encouraging. The Seasiders come into this match with the seventh-best home record in the division, while they've really taken things up a notch of late, winning each of their last two, scoring six goals in the process.
Scoring goals hasn’t been a problem for the New Zealand side this season, averaging 1.45 goals per game but they’ve been conceding at almost the same rate over the season. With that being said, over their poor start to the season they were shipping 2 goals a game on average but since then they’ve reduced this just a goal a game. Continue on that rate and they could be challenging for the top six in a couple of months time and looking to push for the Premier Plate.
Dortmund suffered defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in the fixture dubbed 'Der Klassiker' before the international break. The break may have come at just the right time for Dortmund to regroup and put that loss behind them. They will have a good opportunity to bounce back this Friday evening against Paderborn.
There is a lack of representation at the top, and that includes the Football Association, where we do need a greater number of BAME individuals being asked about their opinion and involved in working for them," he says.

Den Haag’s home games average 3.00 goals and Twente’s away games average 3.43 goals, providing more reasons to back over 2.5 goals to be scored in Saturday’s clash. Den Haag have scored 8 goals at home and have conceded 13 goals and Twente have scored 9 goals on the road and have conceded 15 goals, and it is the visitor’s slightly worse defensive record that suggests Den Haag can win this weekends’ match.
The last two Rotherham games have seen ten goals scored in them. Only one of the last six Solihull Moors home games has failed to see both teams score a goal. Both teams have scored in six of the last seven Solihull Moors matches Rotherham have scored in six of their last seven away games. Solihull Moors are second in the National League and will be looking to cause an upset in the second round of the FA Cup.
There were just 264 seconds between Egan being sent off for Sheffield United and Saint-Maximin scoring the opener for Newcastle. Sheffield United defender Egan received just the second red card of his English league career, with his only previous red before today coming last season versus Millwall in April 2019. After scoring with just one of his first 30 Premier League shots, Saint-Maximin has now netted with each of his last two attempts (also v Southampton back in March).
Paderborn's defensive issues have been the biggest detriment to their season. This is clear by their Bundesliga defensive record. They have conceded 29 goals in their 12 Bundesliga games, thus far. This is the Bundesliga's worst defensive record.
Blackpool's recent home games and Fleetwood's away games this term have something in common: a lot of goals have gone in. Keeping this in mind, 'Over 2.5 Goals' looks an option at the prices. Three or more goals have been notched in six of Fleetwood's seven travelling games, while 13 goals have been scored in Blackpool's last three at home. Furthermore, if we combine Blackpool's average goals for at home with Fleetwood's average for on the road, we arrive at an average of 3.3 per game.

The home side should have been level on the half-hour mark, but forward Jonathan Bamba produced a contender for miss of the season. With just Ajax keeper Andre Onana to beat from eight yards, and no defender in sight, Bamba put the ball over the bar. The visitors scored their second on 59 minutes when Ziyech teased the Lille defence before delivering a pin-point cross to the back post, where an unmarked Promes applied the scoring touch.

Southampton substitute Michael Obafemi's 96th-minute equaliser prevented Manchester United from jumping up to third place and leaves their Champions League qualification still in the balance. The Saints started off well at Old Trafford and went ahead through Stuart Armstrong's 12th-minute strike, following Paul Pogba's mistake. But United responded immediately - Marcus Rashford slotting home the equaliser before Anthony Martial fired a superb second three minutes later.
Dinamo Brest Reserves is currently not playing well. The home team has not won in the last 5 matches. In the last 5 matches, they only brought 1 draw and watered 4 losses. Calculating to the last 10 matches, the home team only brought 1 win, 1 draw and lost up to 8 matches. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.
Keeper Paulo Gazzaniga's rush of blood gifted Chelsea a penalty just before halftime from which Willian made it 2-0. Then, Son Heung-min's red card for an equally daft loss of composure when he kicked out in retaliation against Antonio Rudiger meant Tottenham played the last 30 minutes with 10 men. It left Tottenham seventh, six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, and a quick response is required if the optimism of Mourinho's start is not to vanish before the New Year has been rung in.
