I never believed you because Brazilian players are the best players. Ronaldo reassured him, insisting: "You were one of the best of all time in midfield.
I do not know which players will Salzburg choose to rest but they do need to send a pretty strong side after just drawing 2-2 at home last round with weak St. Polten, they were focused perhaps on their Champions League game with Genk away from home as after a 6-2 win at home with the Belgians they also won 4-1 away in Belgium earlier this week and usually are very attacking minded and like playing weak sides on the road.
Mbappe had time to hug a young fan wearing a Santa Claus hat who made it onto the pitch and produced a book from under his jacket for the World Cup-winning forward to sign as he was escorted off by security.

Hasenhuttl added: "The fact is that he's out of contract in the summer. He is injured at the moment so it will take three or four weeks until he can play again. We had a good meeting two days ago.

It could have proved costly, particularly when Villa scored from only their second shot on target to take the lead. In the end Chelsea got the job done but, with 19 attempts on goal, they should perhaps have won by a more comfortable margin. The signing of Timo Werner for next season will hopefully address Chelsea's struggles to make the most of their opportunities but for now, Frank Lampard will hope his current forwards will use the striker's impending arrival as motivation to be more clinical in the end-of-season run-in.
We do not understand the rush there has been among many quarters of the non-league game to conclude the season so quickly," the club said in a statement.

Leicester have several survivors from their title success in 2016 who already know that too, and on top of that they have got the experience of Jonny Evans, a three-time title winner with Manchester United. The Foxes have already shown that they have got a strong squad and they are not in European competition so they will only have one game a week in the second half of the season. That recovery time will be massive for them - it will help to keep them fresh and allow them to play their high-tempo game every week, without making changes that could see them lose their consistency.

I expect, the hosts will try to dominate on the home ground. Also, we have Aston Villa who's is one of the main outsiders in this season. The visitors have a very vulnerable defense. They have a very difficult task. My pick - Brighton to win.
