He even founded a football academy and a professional club in his home town Felcsut, which have received more than $130 million in state funds and private gifts according to official filings. Peter Kreko, an analyst at the Political Capital think tank, believes it has been a mistaken approach. State money follows a logic of power, not one of efficiency and professionalism," Kreko said.
We have had a pretty good start because most people probably expected us otherwise. But I want more all the time and I think that the last week has been a good example of that for us. I saw us go to Manchester City and trade with them like a big team who was in and around that level, then at West Ham we were not.
The visitors have seen a clear divide between their home and away results so far, picking up just 26% of their points on the road. That’s in part due to some away struggles, but Cardiff do have one of the league’s strongest home records. The Bluebirds are seeing improvements on the road under Neil Harris, with just one defeat in four games.
Russia will be able to compete at Euro 2020 even if a four-year ban from sporting events comes into effect. The World Anti-Doping Agency's (Wada) compliance review committee (CRC) recommended Russia be banned from hosting and competing in major international events on Monday. Russia's Anti-Doping Agency (Rusada) was declared non-compliant over inconsistencies in anti-doping data. St Petersburg will also remain as a host city at next summer's tournament.
Neman reserves and Rukh Brest reserves will face each other in the upcoming match in the Reserves league in Belarus. Neman reserves this season have the following results: 5W, 1D and 1L. Meanwhile Rukh Brest reserves have 5W, 0D and 2L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Liverpool have mislaid some old certainties in recent weeks but Klopp will be confident they can be rediscovered before Simeone rumbles into town. This last two years have seen Liverpool lose then win a Champions League final, and finish second in the Premier League last season despite losing only one game, before transforming that into a runaway triumph this term. The Premier League title is Liverpool's but Klopp and his players will know the bumps they have experienced in the last fortnight must be smoothed out before Simeone and his players pitch up for what will be an inevitable war of attrition at Anfield.

The first game gave us huge confidence and at the same time our determination, the will from each player was put in with all these strong feelings to win this title after such a long period. I can't describe the last 15 minutes. I was living in this period with all this strong belief, but in the moment when we scored (the second goal) I felt nothing could change the situation and I was very happy.

The Eagles are the joint lowest scoring team in the Premier League (20 goals), though they did manage to register in five of their last six top-flight tests. We think the Citizens defensive frailties should allow Palace to enhance that record further this weekend, though any Eagles goal is almost certain to be a consolation effort.

But VAR is never used on restarts, and those in charge will surely look at whether there is a practical solution to a loophole that helped decide such an important match. MAN OF THE MATCH Rodri A masterclass in midfield domination, with and without the ball. Everything went through him when City were in possession, and he also had time to score the second with an emphatic header.
Koulibaly to PSG? Staying with PSG, the Daily Mail is also reporting that the Ligue 1 leaders are leading the chase for long-term Manchester United target Kalidou Koulibaly. PSG will look to lure the Napoli centre-back to France by offering him a £10. United’s interest in Koulibaly has been longstanding, with Real Madrid and Manchester City also linked with the 28-year-old.
Another more than ok match for betting on goals in this duel from Australian elite league and of course, I will take it, for me that is pretty real and ok to try. So, Newcastle Jets is interesting team who is this year played already two matches against Western Sydney Wanderers and in both of that duels, it was a lot of goals, 3-2 and 5-1. Both matches, Newcastle Jets is won. Now, I see similar situation, even this rivals are not so efficient in first part of season - I believe in very fast match and plenty of goals here.
Gladbach, however, shot out of the blocks after the restart, with the 22-year-old Embolo putting them ahead in the 46th minute from a Patrick Herrmann assist and then missing a penalty two minutes later. Yet he quickly made amends and returned the favour to Herrmann, setting him up for their third in the 51st as Freiburg looked rattled.
It's a really big move, it's my first move to another country and I'm really looking forward to it," Leupolz said in a statement. I believe in what Chelsea are doing as a club and I'm excited to be a part of that. They want to win titles, and so do I. I also like the style of football they play, I've seen a lot of their matches and I think it's the right club for me.
Luis Suarez stabbed in the opener, Lionel Messi scored twice including a dream free-kick, and Liverpool were all but out. Liverpool needed a second-leg miracle. Salah and Roberto Firmino were missing just to add to their woes, but Liverpool found a new and unlikely hero in the shape of Divock Origi. The big man pulled one back in the first 10 minutes, and as belief rose inside a fervent Anfield, midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum popped up with two goals in two minutes to level the tie.
Wanderers were held to a 1-1 draw in their last outing at home to Sheffield United at the weekend, rescuing a share of the spoils in the second half thanks to a Matt Doherty strike just after the hour mark.
Then there was the height issue. Of the front five, Jackson was a colossus at 5ft 7in compared to Alex James (5ft 6½in), James Dunn (5ft 6in), Gallacher (5ft 5in), and Alan Morton (5ft 4½in). And given that these were days when goalkeepers could be barged into nets, stature mattered. Scotland's celebrating captain Jimmy McMullan told his players to pray for rainIndeed, the subject was apparently discussed at the Scotland team's Regent Palace Hotel the evening before the game, captain Jimmy McMullan summoning his players away from the supporters in the bar at 10pm on the suggestion of Scottish FA chief Robert Campbell.
I really not see too many goals in this match from South Korea and that is probably the best option for this duel, I'm almost sure in that. So, let's start from Daegu - this is team who is have very good defense and that is the fact. In last two rounds, this team is played both times, 0-0 and 0-0, so it is logical to expect similar situation and this time. I don't love to bet on small number of goals but in this case, yes, this is probably the best option and I will just try that here, it is real.
With the game goalless, Bremen's Maximilian Eggestein went close from distance before Lewandowski's quality winner after Kingsley Coman had earlier headed narrowly wide. Coman again went close before teenager Davies was sent off with 11 minutes remaining, while Werder Bremen had a late appeal for a penalty for handball turned down. Bayern celebrate in unusual circumstancesSeven points clear of nearest rivals Borussia Dortmund with three games to go before kick-off, Bayern needed one win from their remaining three games to wrap up another title.
I've had offers of a new contract taken off the table because I decided to go to the Cup of Nations," he told Sport Today. I can understand it from the point of view of managers but we want to go and we want to win it. I've had managers pulling their hair out every time I've had to go but it's tradition. The weather is better in that period in Cameroon [the winter]; we need the best Cup of Nations for African football and that's the right time to play it.

It cited Root, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, who play for England in all three formats of the international game - test, one-day and Twenty20 cricket. I'm sure at some point in the coming weeks there will be a discussion," said Root when asked if he expected players to take a pay cut. But I'm also aware they are discussions that will take place between the Professional Cricketers' Association and the ECB (English Cricket Board).
They had chances to score at Anfield - Sarr's fluffed attempt in the first half a huge miss, as he completely mishit a rebound from Gerard Deulofeu's dangerous cross. Deulofeu, who got in behind a few times down the left, threw his arms up in frustration behind the goal as the Kop jeered before the ball had even gone out of play. Those chances rarely come around again at Anfield but Deulofeu himself had one early in the second half, which he hit straight at Liverpool keeper Alisson.
Boavista have failed to keep clean sheets in five of their last six matches. Benfica will be desperate to end an awful run of form when they host Boavista on Saturday in Liga NOS action. The current champions are second in the table, six points behind Porto thanks to consecutive defeats against Santa Clara and Maritimo.
Home form is a bit more encouraging with five wins this season in the league, including two in the last four. Those were vital wins against fellow strugglers, Watford and Norwich City. Their last nine league games have seen them fail to keep a clean sheet but both teams scored in five of their last six at Villa Park.
We all dream of a team of Riquelmes. Number one is Riquelme. Number two, is…" you get the idea. Juan Roman Riquelme was a major figure in South American football during the 2000s. And his influence can still be felt on the pitch today. In this year's Sao Paulo Junior Football Cup - a competition for Brazilian under-20 football teams - there are 11 players named after the Argentina legend. These are all young lads born between 2000 and 2005 - when Riquelme was in his peak, providing the perfect inspiration for football-mad parents.
If we look at Accrington's attacking performances at home, then it's easy to see them doing well against a Rochdale side that has floundered on the road defensively. Punters are pointed towards 'Accrington to Win & Both Teams to Score'. Stanley, who've scored an average of 2.3 goals at home, scoring two or more in seven out of ten, have what it takes to hurt a backline that has shipped nine in five on the road. The fact that the hosts have performed well in terms of both shots on target and touches in the opposition box also bodes well. However, for all their attacking strength, they've not kept things that tight at the back, conceding in eight of ten at home, conceding once in three of their five victories. Add in that Rochdale have scored exactly once in three of their last four on the road and backing the visitors to find the net on route to losing starts to make plenty of appeal.
The Hammers have made contact with his agent with a view to a summer move but the potential deal remains very much in its infancy. Paper Round’s view: This is a non-starter. After his Premier League career has stalled since leaving Arsenal for Old Trafford, Sanchez has clearly needed a move away from England and it is hard to see him playing for a club battling against relegation, nor West Ham paying his exorbitant wages.
FC Minsk made a good start to the new season with a 3-1 away win. They host Dinamo Minsk in this derby clash and their opponents have been disappointing in pre-season. Four games have been lost in a row and they will be determined to improve on that sorry statistic. Place a double chance bet on FC Minsk to win or draw this fixture.
A couple he made from close range to deny Isco and Benzema after the break stand out in particular and, given Courtois’ unconvincing display, many of the home fans may wish he was still guarding their net. KEY MOMENTS 17’ - GOAL! Real Madrid 1-0 PSG (Benzema). What a lovely team goal! Following nice work from Hazard, Valverde and Carvajal have an overlap on the right.

I told him not to worry anyone would have done what he did in his place, he did what he had to do," added the Argentine coach, who was no stranger to football's dark arts as a player. Real president Florentino Perez was grateful to the 21-year-old for keeping his side in the match, saying: "Fede avoided a clear scoring opportunity and gave us the chance to stay in the game.
The recommendation has been made to quarantine both the basketball first team and the football first team, given that the two squads share facilities in Ciudad Real Madrid," a Real statement said. The Spanish second division has also been suspended and La Liga said it will "revaluate" the situation following the completion of quarantine "in the affected clubs and other possible situations that may arise".

Jadon Sancho gave the German side the lead after 10 minutes and although Tomas Soucek equalised on the stroke of half-time, Julian Brandt's goal proved enough to claim victory, despite a nervy ending after Julian Weigl was sent off. Elsewhere, Napoli put questions over Carlo Ancelotti's future to one side with a 4-0 win over Genk, thanks in no small part to Arkadiusz Milik's first-half hat-trick.
Be focused on the game. Don't look at different things. The last trophy Everton won was the FA Cup (in 1994-95) so we have to have confidence. Everyone knows how Liverpool play, fantastic in counter-attack. Ancelotti is no stranger to derby matches having played for and managed AC Milan among other elite European clubs in a trophy-laden career.
Borussia Dortmund kept up the pressure on Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich ahead of Tuesday's clash between the two with a hard-fought victory at Wolfsburg. The visitors were largely the better side throughout, controlling possession and probing for openings against an opponent set up to defend and hit on the break. It was from such a patient move that Raphael Guerreiro gave them the lead with his eighth goal of the season, slotted in from close range after Erling Braut Haaland had failed to convert.
The minister added that he would draw up a plan worth 400 million euros ($446 million) for sports associations and amateur clubs and called on Serie A to adopt "a serious willingness to change". He did not elaborate. After this crisis, nothing can be like before," he said. On Saturday, Juventus players, leading the league by one point from Lazio with 12 games remaining, agreed on a wage reduction that will save the Turin-based club 90 million euros.

Any deal would see Ebimbe stay on loan with the French side for a further year, and PSG are open to letting the player leave if he wishes to move elsewhere. Paper Round’s view: If United can start to build for the future and give young and talented players the chance to develop away from the pressure of Old Trafford, then it is worth a shot.
Davies in particular has drawn plenty of plaudits for his electric play so which of the two are quicker? “It’s him,” Coman replies, “We’ve already done some testing at Bayern, it’s him. If it’s speed in slaloms or turning I think I’m a little faster but in a straight line it’s him. Coman says he has never timed himself over 100 metres as he feels he is quickest over the first 15, that’s where he gets his advantage.

The attack didn’t muster a single shot on target. BT’s expert in underwhelming midfields, Jermaine Jenas, called the heart of the team “stagnant”, which is an excellent word that football coverage needs to use more. And as for the defence, well, here’s the goal. There are six defenders in the box when that goal goes in.
Wigan celebrated with Lucozade because alcohol was banned on the coach home and just three days later they were relegated from the Premier League - hours after Mancini did indeed lose his job. This is the story of that incredible week seven years ago, told by the players who were part of one of the greatest FA Cup final shocks in the competition's 148-year history, as well as the coaches and staff who helped to mastermind it.
