Ronaldinho, he was the one,” Sterling told BBC Sport. If you see my history on Youtube, I have seen every single clip of his playing career. I used to go into the garden and try to recreate what he’d done, but I couldn’t. I tried to the best to my ability. He was something special. With football likely to remain in shutdown for the foreseeable future, Sterling has been getting his football fix by pulling on a virtual Manchester City shirt and representing the club in ePremier League Invitational Fifa 20 tournament.
The hosts saw off Bologna 3-1 at their own ground last time out, although the hosts haven’t had the easiest run of things of late. Sassuolo have won just twice in their last seven league games, while they've been beaten in three of their last four at home. The Neroverdi have every clash at the MAPEI Stadium with sides currently above them in the league, while they've lost six of seven against sides above them.
The former Manchester City and Liverpool forward has struggled to find form since joining Brescia in August, scoring two goals in eight league appearances. Last month, Balotelli threatened to walk off the pitch after suffering racist abuse during a Serie A match against Hellas Verona. Mario is sad because he is unable to play his game," Cellino said on the Italian television programme Le Iene.
FC Slutsk and Ynergetyk-BDU Minsk are two teams that are playing a high scoring football in the Vysshaya liga in Belarus. FC Slutsk are the current league leaders with 16 points, having won five matches from seven games played thanks to their impressive offense that has scored 14 goals already, as the best offensive team in the league. FC Slutsk have combined seven goals in their latest three matches played against Dinamo Minsk, Belshina and Soligorsk. Slutsk should score at least two goals against Ynergetyk that conceded five goals in their last three away matches. I expect visitors to find the net too and choose over 2.5 here.
Arsenal said the decision to sack Emery had been "taken due to results and performances not being at the level required". The Gunners lost 2-1 at home to German side Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday. It is their worst run without a victory since February 1992, when they were winless in eight games under George Graham. It has been an honour to be the Arsenal head coach," said Emery, who previously led Paris St-Germain to the French league title and won three Europa Leagues with Sevilla.
Hacken has not shown much after the first 2 matches of the season. With 2 consecutive draws, the away team is temporarily in 13th place in the rankings. Therefore, Hacken is in desperate need of a victory to create psychological momentum for the players, as well as promote the morale of the entire army at this time.
Fernandes, 20, is one of the most promising young players in the world and has long been linked with a move to Manchester United amongst others. Video - Neymar could terminate his PSG contract – Euro Papers01:41 Fernandes has fallen out of favour with manager Bruno Lage and has been unable to replicate the form he showed under Rui Vitoria.
He had to face the pace and power of that team - and after three months off, at his age, his legs probably weren't where they needed to be and he isn't as quick any more. He had a torrid time but being a centre-back is one of the hardest positions because if you drop a yard or two in pace, you get punished. It's very tricky. In possession, Luiz has been pretty good for Arsenal. He's picked up a few goals, got an assist and has created some big chances.

POST! Salah curls a deft cross into the middle, it misses everyone, hits the inside of the post, seemingly in slow motion, rolls along the line and Henderson gathers! 64’ - GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!! Liverpool 2-0 Sheffield United. What a counter attack as Mane makes it two! Throw out from Alisson, Mane races down the line, feeds Salah in the middle, the Egyptian controls, slides it back through for Mane, who finishes at the second attempt.
RETRO CORNER It’s the Carlos Tevez Grudge March tonight as Sheffield United take on West Ham. To mark the occasion let’s revisit the goal Tevez scored against Manchester United on the final day of the 2006-07 season to keep the Hammers up at Sheffield United’s expense. Tevez was playing despite the Premier League having fined West Ham over third-party ownership - and in a civil case brought by Sheffield United, West Ham settled for £20m two years later.

In Group G, Porto grabbed a lifeline with a 2-1 away win over Swiss side Young Boys to put themselves back in contention, while Scottish side Rangers moved into first place on eight points with a gritty 2-2 draw at Feyenoord.
What initially seemed to be flu rapidly became more serious and panic set in. An ambulance was called and - with both parents out of town - Lynn had to field questions from paramedics on the way to hospital. Sarah, it turned out, had contracted meningococcal meningitis, the less common but more severe form of the infection. She was put into a coma and never woke up. The last thing I see is her having a seizure, the doctors cutting off her jeans, and then the door shutting in front of me," Lynn recalls.

Ruud Gullit: Virgil van Dijk (1) Virgil van Dijk pictured with Vivianne Miedema after the Dutch pair won the PFA's men's and women's Player of the Year awards last year. Van Dijk was the first defender to win the men's award since Chelsea's John Terry in 2004-05He is still the most important player in this Liverpool side. Having a strong defence always means at least not losing, and the attack also starts there.
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is "better than good" after a clash with England team-mate Raheem Sterling on international duty, says Jurgen Klopp. Manchester City forward Sterling was dropped for the Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro on 14 November after "a disturbance in a private team area". But he returned for the qualifier in Kosovo three days later. The people involved were fine pretty quick.
First-team coaches Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna have also been excused from the six-hour flight and will work with Solskjaer's squad before Sunday's Premier League encounter with Aston Villa at Old Trafford. Nicky Butt, United's head of first-team development, will join Solskjaer on the trip to Astana.
Ahead of him, Olivier Giroud is good but not good enough, a useful substitute but never a first-choice forward, while Tammy Abraham’s early season form surprised everyone; his subsequent drop looks like a regression to his natural level, rather than the calm before a further storm. Of course, a number of these players will improve, but few of them look likely to improve enough.
Given that they impressed at pretty much every turn on route to reaching the play-offs last season, Doncaster have underwhelmed this time around. It was always going to difficult for Darren Moore to emulate Grant McCann's achievements and it's fair to say that he's so far fallen short. Donny currently sit in a disappointing 14th place. A far cry from last term, where they were in and around the play-offs for much of the campaign.
This time, it was goalline technology that caused frustration as it failed to pick up Oliver Norwood's free-kick crossing the line in Sheffield United's goalless draw at Aston Villa. Luiz horror show against Manchester City Luiz capped an error-strewn performance against Manchester City by getting sent offA day to forget for David Luiz as everything that could go wrong, did. Against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium in June, the Arsenal defender came off the bench in the first half, was at fault for Raheem Sterling's opener, gave away a penalty, and then got himself sent off.
Even if you are not a neutral, you are pulling for Atalanta because you want to play them in the next round. This one of those strange pairings that happen," says Honigstein. If you are a club like Manchester City or Real Madrid, you are thinking the next game could be easier than the last 16 game. This is a game people might look at with ulterior motives, Atalanta being a newbie, the Cinderella story and playing exciting football.

Pribram in a very difficult task hosting Slavia Praha, The home side is struggling in the 1st division and most likely will be relegated, they stand last on the table with very poor performances. They only won 3 matches at home from the 13 played so far, have drawn 6 and lost 4. Facing Slavia, the leaders, is a huge challenge.
The confidence of Kepa Arrizabalaga, the world's most expensive keeper, will not have improved after being dropped for the game in favour of 38-year-old Willy Caballero, whose only meaning contribution was to claw out Leander Dendoncker's dangerous cross. Wolves' campaign continuesWolves have endured a long and arduous campaign that started one year and one day ago in the Europa League and has seen them travel nearly 30,000 miles during that period.
I feel the odds are worth taking here in this encounter as the hosts have a really poor defense which already conceded 7 goals in two league games only managing a 2-2 draw at home while last round they were hammered with 5-0 on the road, and also last season in the second part when they hosted Navy they conceded 4 goals and ended up getting trashed with 4-1 in the end, so good reasons to believe in the away win in this one.
The rift with his club grew a game later after Wales beat Hungary to book their place at the now-postponed Euro 2020. Bale was seen celebrating qualification with a banner taken from the crowd which read, 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order'. It was a bit of banter, a bit of fun," said Bale. We were all celebrating as a team and I'm not going to not jump around with my team-mates. People can see it how they like but we were celebrating on the pitch as a country and having a laugh.
Aguero was forced off in the final 15 minutes against the Blues with a tendon injury, and City had initially feared a long lay-off. The problem is not as serious as first feared, however, though the Argentinean will still be absent when the champions face their great rivals on 7th December. A few games, I don't know exactly," said Guardiola.

It’ll never happen, but here’s the report: "Now, Premier League clubs are scrambling, in some cases increasingly desperately, for ideas to complete the season on the field. As the industry seeks to stay afloat, the ideas are becoming more creative. For example, The Athletic learned on Thursday that one club has even suggested exploring the feasibility of completing the domestic season abroad.

very interesting match,Paris is one of the worst teams in the league right now and they scored just 6 goals in the whole season at home but that is not a problem for them because on the other hand,Rodez scored just 6 goals on the road the whole season and both of them are in very bad shape so first goal for them will be to avoid defeat tomorrow and I think they are not going to risk a lot in second half and I think they will take this draw for sure, and the low odd is telling the same story!
Thankfully for the visitors, the cup gods were smiling down on them when Klose was sent off and, having a stronger bench to call on, it seemed inevitable United would break Norwich resistance. Krul did his best to keep them at bay, saving from Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford - three of United's six substitutes - before remarkably clawing Maguire's header off the line. But with two minutes of extra-time remaining, United finally wore their opponents down when Maguire pounced to hooked home.
The tweet was rapidly deleted. HAT TIP "Barcelona’s ex-manager took training on Monday morning, if only because he was not the ex-manager just yet. Besides, someone somewhere had to act with a little dignity. And what if it didn’t happen? He was certainly not about to make the decision for them, so Ernesto Valverde drove into San Joan Despí not long after 8am.
This time the unlikely hero was two-goal midfielder Casemiro. That win temporarily took Madrid top of La Liga ahead of rivals Barca, who then got the Quique Setien era off to a winning start against Granada. While the possession-based style of football was markedly different from that of previous coach Ernesto Valverde, the identity of the goalscorer was not: Lionel Messi netting the only goal in a 1-0 victory.
The Portuguese superstar left Real for Juventus two seasons ago and feels that he could have beaten Luka Modric and Lionel Messi to the prestigious award in both 2018 and 2019 if he had stayed put, according to Spanish source ABC. Messi claimed a record-breaking sixth Ballon d’Or earlier this month, taking him one ahead of Ronaldo’s tally, while Los Blancos midfielder Luka Modric triumphed the year before after guiding Croatia to the World Cup final.
Freiburg did not start all that bad after the winter break as they did win with 2-1 away from home at Mainz, but that again looking now at that result we can see that Mainz lost all games played by them in 2020, this while next two games were really poor from Freiburg losing at home to bottom of the league at the time Paderborn side with 2-0 followed by a 4-0 loss for them away from home at Koln, both teams from the relegation zone, so really not that solid displays from Freiburg.
Fortuna Dusseldorf welcome high riding Bayern Munich. The host are in 13th position from 11 matches, scoring 15 goals against 19. Their 3-3 last league game against Schalke is still fresh in the mind of every player and fans, after beating FC Koln at home 2-0. Before then they defeated Are in the German FA Cup to go through to the next round, they aren't doing bad as expected because they sold many good players last season and didn't replace with more better players. Bayern with Coach Flick are completely new team after Kovac was sacked. Beating Dortmund 4-0 shows how fresh the new Coach has transformed back the team for glory which they are known for. Presently 3rd in the league table with 21 points from 11 matches, with goals difference of 29 goals against 16. Their initial problems in the defense has been settled with the 2-3 last games played. I expect more than 3 goals here because of weak defense of the host.
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.
Liverpool midfielder James Milner has agreed a contract extension to stay at the Premier League leaders until 2022. The 33-year-old joined the Reds on a free transfer from Manchester City in June 2015 and is in the final season of his present deal. He won the Champions League with Liverpool last season, adding a Super Cup winners' medal in August. This was obviously the ideal for me - stay and play at the highest level as long as I can," Milner said.
These are two teams from the first part of the league table at this moment but really they are both much closer to the relegation zone than the top 2 places in the league at this moment, last season it ended in a 2-1 win for the hosts just that Lafnitz has not really suffered a loss on the road in quite a long time at this moment, in fact they scored 16 times and conceded just 6 goals on the road in 7 away games with a record of 5-2-0 so far.
Meanwhile, the visitors are hoping that their own form turns in this one. Bologna have lost each of their last four Serie A away games. They haven't lost five consecutive away games in a single Serie A campaign since November 2012 (six). They have had great news about manager Sinisa Mihajlovic, who has been discharged from hospital in his battle with leukaemia.
