It's one of the things I'm so proud of in my career: going from that to living in a different country and winning Champions Leagues. It's from one end of the spectrum to the other and not many are going to have that experience. I'd say to my younger self: 'Enjoy what you do and make sure you work hard. Everything I have now is through hard work. I have some talent, but my hard work outweighs my talent in my career.
So it is complicated. You have to dominate every aspect of the game. For their part, Chelsea are looking for a striker, and while Edinson Cavani’s transfer request at PSG seemed to be broadly designed to force through a move to Atletico Madrid, there is still some 2+2=5 logic to suggest that he could move to Stamford Bridge instead.
Manchester United chase wantaway Koulibaly Manchester United are set to spend big on their defence this summer and have identified Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly as a candidate after the 28-year-old signalled to San Paolo chiefs that he wants to leave the club, according to the Mirror. They are likely to have plenty of competition in the race for the Senegal international, who would cost around £80 million - the same price Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spent last summer for Harry Maguire, the world's most expensive defender.

The Reds at home are a tougher proposition still - you have to go back to 23 March 2017 for Liverpool's last home defeat in the Premier League. Having won all but one of their 14 games so far in the league this season, they hold an eight-point lead over second-placed Leicester and an 11-point advantage over reigning champions Manchester City as they go in search of a first English top-flight title since 1990.
Despite the fact Aberdeen has put in some solid performances away from home in recent weeks- albeit against slightly weaker opponents- Celtic are still the favourites to take all three points here. The Dons have lost 5-0 to Rangers and 3-0 to Hibs, so we could see a repeat outcome here. We're backing the Hoops to win to nil here, as they've done so in five of their last six home games at Celtic Park. We're also going to back the hosts to win 2-0 as they've seen that result occur in three of their previous five home ties.
Here's how he did it. Building on firm foundationsChelsea had been ensconced in the top six of the Premier League for nigh on a decade by the time Mourinho arrived. With Roman Abramovich in the corridors of power Chelsea had thrown money at the team 12 months earlier, with Ranieri making some key signings in Joe Cole, Damien Duff and Claude Makelele. What was lacking, it was felt, was a coach with the swagger and the genius to turn a good side into champions.
United host Tottenham who are a point and a place above them in the table. The home side have won five of their league games but lost the other five. Their most recent game was a 1-0 home loss to Bristol City, a bit of a shocker as that was their opponent's first league victory of the season. Before that, they had won four league matches in a row scring 11 goals and will be looking to bounce back from that recent loss.
Moments later Leeds had the chance of the half when a long ball hit defender Ben Cabango and dropped for Patrick Bamford, only for Leeds' top scorer to shoot too close to Woodman. Swansea threatened first after the break, with Conor Gallagher bursting beyond a couple of challenges before firing towards the near post where Meslier pushed the ball to safety. The next big moment for Bamford came when Hernandez, a half-time substitute, played a typically measured diagonal ball which Jack Harrison volleyed across the face of goal.
There would be players getting more exposure to real football, and I think that would help us in the long run. We need to be giving kids the opportunity to play against men," McCann added. The classic example is [Liverpool and Scotland defender] Andy Robertson, who left Celtic but is now captain of our country. He's captain because he got real football at a good level, and afterwards a brave manager took him to Dundee United - then he went on to flourish.
England Women will open the 2021 European Championship on home soil at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium on 7 July. The announcement comes 500 days before the tournament next summer. The 76,000-capacity stadium will be one of 10 venues used across the country, while Wembley will host the final. It will be amazing," said England boss Phil Neville, who won six league titles, three FA Cups and a European Cup as a player for Manchester United.
Hi. My pick for this match in 3. Bundesliga between Eintracht Braunschweig v Viktoria Koln is double chance - draw or the away team to win. In the last direct match was draw. Away team play very well on always - in the last 5 matches on always they won 3 times and 3 won. I think that this match will end 1:1. I have a interesting bet on X2 to the odds of 1.73. I think that the chances for the outcome to happen are bigger than the odds indicates, and therefore I think this is a value bet. Good luck !

David Moyes has been appointed as West Ham manager and will return for a second spell at the club. The Scot, 55, has signed an 18-month deal and starts with the New Year's Day home game against Bournemouth. He replaces Manuel Pellegrini, who was sacked after Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by a much-changed Leicester side. I feel like I've got unfinished business," said Moyes, who led the Hammers to Premier League safety in a seven-month spell from November 2017.
With England captain and talisman Harry Kane ruled out until April with a hamstring injury, discussion has turned to who England manager Gareth Southgate could turn to to lead the line at this summer's European Championship if the Tottenham striker is not fit. Wright believes Ings could have a similar impact at Euro 2020 as Italy's Salvatore Schillaci did at the 1990 World Cup - coming into the tournament as a relative unknown before finishing as top scorer.
Odds were much better at the start of the day but now the game is about to start in 2 hours and a couple of minutes and have dropped under 2.00 for the home win, reason for it is that the hosts won the cup last season quite easy and they are 2nd in the league at this moment as well behind the league leaders from Ferencvaros and the first leg between them did end 0-0 at Ujpest but they also met in the league also at Ujpest and back than MOL won the game with 1-0 in the end.

Aston Villa ended a run of three successive Premier League defeats as they beat Newcastle United to ruin Steve Bruce's return to Villa Park. Conor Hourihane's curled free-kick gave Villa the lead before his enticing set-piece set up Anwar El Ghazi to finish from close range four minutes later. Bruce, sacked as Villa boss in October 2018, saw his side denied by goalkeeper Tom Heaton, who saved from Federico Fernandez and Allan Saint-Maximin.
Teddy Sheringham scores past Oliver KahnGetty Images Beckham’s corner skimmed off the head of Linke, who was under pressure from Schmeichel, and reached Yorke beyond the far post. He headed it back towards the centre, where the substitute Fink sliced what should have been a routine volleyed clearance straight to Giggs on the edge of the area.
Which is ideal, as temperamental left-backs are just what Arsenal need to lift them out of their current predicament. Kurzawa has won 13 trophies since joining from Monaco in 2015 but you basically get a trophy just for turning up to work at PSG. We wanted to dig a bit deeper so we asked our friends at eurosport.
