During a post-match interview, Conte took exception to Capello's suggestion that Inter were a counter-attacking side. Mister Capello, what are we talking about?" said Conte, using the Italian term for coach. Fortunately, our opponents fear us more than those who watch us on television. I think I'm hearing nonsense.
Threat was coming from everywhere with Edouard and Griffiths combining well as they pinned St Johnstone in and created chance after chance. They were ably supported by the likes of Callum McGregor, Ntcham, Taylor and Forrest, who seems to love playing against this opposition. It was his delivery which created the opener. An inch perfect cross that allowed Ntcham to power home without breaking stride.
WHAT ARE HIS STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES? He has an attacking mentality and gives width to the game, but his crosses, which were really good when he played for Monaco, haven’t been good enough for years. Still, he can bring danger in the attacking end but the problem comes defensively. His positioning is not good enough, and he lacks concentration.
Visitors had one drop in the begin of this part, when went down for the defeat in Bochum. However, they went back fast, and won home match 4:0. Team is going to Hamburg to face squad of Sankt Pauli, which did not good in the previous game.

Inter Milan have completed the signing of Christian Eriksen from Tottenham for a fee of around £16. The 27-year-old Denmark midfielder told Spurs in the summer he wanted a fresh challenge with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. After a hoped-for move to Spain failed to materialise, Eriksen began the season with Spurs and played 28 times in all competitions this season. Inter currently sit second in Serie A, three points behind leaders Juventus.
Clear over bet in my opinion as Eintracht scored and conceded plenty of goals since the restart losing first with ease 3-1 at home to Gladbach as they were 2-0 behind by the 5th minute than followed an away game at Bayern where they scored 2 goals in the second half but ended up losing 5-2 the game because of poor defending mainly as their attack is in fact decent like their last two games show winning first with luck away from home at a tough Wolfsburg side with 2-1 which prior to that smashed Leverkusen 4-1 on the road, and last round they won 3-0 away at Bremen who did not concede prior to that in their last 3 league games.
We're also backing Lyon to score over 1.5 goals as they have done so in their last three matches at home and against Lille, while their opponents have conceded at least one goal in six of their last eight home games.

Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla says returning to Emirates Stadium to say goodbye to the club's fans is "something which is left in my career. Cazorla, 35, left the Gunners after six years in 2018 following two years out with a serious ankle injury. But he has made an amazing recovery at Villarreal and has even fought his way back into the Spain team. It was frustrating to not be able to say goodbye to a club who treated me so well," he told BBC Sport.
Lukaku has to feel he is important," continues Terreur. At Manchester United there was criticism from the beginning but you saw it when he landed at Inter, there were fans turning up to see him. He feels appreciated over there. His first touch is always something that is pointed out on Twitter and criticised but I haven't seen many bad first touches in the last few weeks. When he is confident he is technically very good as well.

It’s true that my test came up positive and it’s also true that I feel normal," the Portuguese coach said on Instagram. I feel exactly the same today as I felt a month, a year, two, three years ago. I have no symptoms but the test was positive. I am going to stay under quarantine. I think that in a week or two, God willing, I’ll be back to normal.
Dinamo Minsk is favorite here, and the favorite in all competition. They are at the first place in the league table, and have perfect form without losing game. Team should not have any issues to win here, since Slutsk is in the middle of the table, with average results.

Sunderland is in good shape and they are favorites for the win but on the road I m not that confidence about them and I think it is much better to go with Under goals in this one,Sunderland is struggling to score on the road and also million is not that good offensive team so I think it Will be 0 0 for the most part of this game and then some team should score a goal and win or it Will be 1 1 at the end but either way I think under 2.5 is best option to bet on this game

It is miles off it. I don't know what a Manchester United player is anymore. Most of the players that Manchester United have bought in the last five years have gone backwards. I don't think Solskjaer will last'Solskjaer signed a three-year contract when he was appointed permanent boss last March after a successful stint as caretaker. Speaking on Match of the Day, former Arsenal defender Martin Keown questioned whether Solskjaer would still be in charge at the start of next season.

The hosts have hit a tough patch of form, following four games without a victory. That includes a 1-0 loss to Fulham at home in their last game here, something which should concern the Blues. They’ve had to rely on results at this ground so far this term in their bid to stave off relegation, but if their home form goes then the Blues are in serious danger.
He has the conditions to do it, but to be the best central defender you have to play one entire season, every three days being there," Guardiola told a news conference.

Getty Images 09:00 - No NBA decision until May The NBA doesn't expect to have a decision about the status of the 2019-20 season until at least May, commissioner Adam Silver said. The short answer is no," Silver told TNT. Essentially what I've told my folks over the last week is that we should just accept that, at least for the month of April, we won't be in a position to make any decisions.
There was another scare when he was left clutching his troublesome right Achilles in the win over Nottingham Forest - but he looked as fresh as ever today, producing an exciting display which bodes well for the second half of the season. On too many occasions this season, Chelsea have struggled to break down the division's 'lesser' clubs, but inspired by the rapid pace of their 19-year-old, this was a much more creative and energetic team performance, and they were unfortunate not to win by a bigger margin.
AC Milan has completely lost to Inter Milan in Derby years. But right now they have a chance to change that. In the last 12 matches in all competitions, AC Milan lost only 1 game. The return of Ibrahimovic has added significant strength to AC Milan. At this time, AC Milan is only 1 point behind the Top 6 and there are many opportunities to attend the European Cup next season. Inter Milan have been unbeaten in Serie A since the 7th round. The attacking line of the black and blue striped shirt team is working very well, they contributed 2 names in the Top 10 top Serie A strikers this season, Romelu Lukaku ( 16 goals) and Lautaro Martinez (11 goals).
He looked to have changed his mind belatedly on Monday and ordered a youth team to travel to play the game but despite reports they were stuck in traffic, the match was called off an hour after the scheduled kickoff time when they had not arrived. We have found that there were no obstacles preventing the team’s bus from reaching the venue," the EFA statement added.
Since Moshiri's bold statement, the Merseyside clubs have moved in completely opposite directions. Never will the chasm be illustrated more brutally than at a vibrant Anfield on Wednesday night. Everton's nerve has often failed them at Anfield, particularly under David Moyes, when they would often travel across Stanley Park in better form and higher in the league than their neighbours only to capitulate.
Spain seem to have the edge with world number one Rafael Nadal and in-form Roberto Bautista Agut. Australia had their problems against Great Britain in the quarter final. Spain will have Nadal in their doubles team if required and tips the balance in favour of Spain. Australia are the host nations for this ATP Cup and a win would be a welcome boost at a difficult time for the country.
Vejle are league leaders but right after the restart they hosted 2nd from bottom Naestved and could not win the game which ended in just a 1-1 draw in the end which did not really help either sides with Vejle running away with the title at this moment and Naestved with 23 points being 7 points away from the safety zone right now. On paper it should be indeed an away win but like that game at Vejle showed nothing is simple.
Admittedly, the Dons’ form has improved recently with two wins from their last four, but prior to that they were in the midst of a torrid 12 game winless streak which saw them collect just two points from a possible 36.

Talking point - What was Jose thinking? For years Jose Mourinho was thought to be the tactical genius in world football. His feats winning the Champions League with Porto and Inter over more fancied opponents are legendary. What made him think that playing Sanchez, Dier and Alderweireld at centre back with Japhet Tanganga and Jan Vertonghen at wing back was a good idea? Vertonghen's crossing was hopeless but more concerning was the lack of cohesion between the central three, who gifted space and time to Rodriguez and Wood in attack, and Skipp and Ndombele in midfield who were just traffic cones as Burnley midfield marauded through them.
I thought it was a great initiative, and to be honest, given how popular and how much impact it has had, I'm surprised it's not happened previously. But full credit to Roma, to be the ones to really start something. The Serie A club teamed up with 12 charities and organisations around the globe to show the videos, which were tailored according to which player they signed. Three of the children found were from London with two in Kenya and another from Belgium.
From a moral standpoint, as president of a football club and a manager in an organisation who are involved in these events, I just cannot accept this kind of proposal and I cannot let public health be put in this difficult condition," he said. It doesn't matter what kind of game it is, it doesn't matter if it was 24 hours or 48 hours, we knew the situation was not going to be gone. The right thing to do was to reject the proposal.
Barrow boss Evatt said he felt his side not being promoted would be 'harsh' and the numbers seem to agree. So does the league promote two sides or does just one side go up to League Two to replace the void left by Bury? Do the play-offs still happen and if so how and who qualifies? With players' contracts starting to run out what sort of sides could clubs field when restrictions are eased? Even if restrictions are eased, would the games be played in front of fans or would they be behind closed doors?Could the play-offs be a tournament held at one locked-down venue? Or would there still be potentially long away trips for sides and the fear of spreading the virus?What about relegation? Apart from Chorley the other sides in the relegation places still had realistic mathematical chances of staying up.
Fernandes: There was a moment when Bruno Fernandes required treatment against Sheffield United and there was a sudden sense of panic in the Manchester United ranks. The Portugal midfielder has, in a matter of months, become a key component to United's fortunes and he must remain fit in order for the club to retain any chance of a Champions League spot. Also key is his relationship on the park with Paul Pogba.
Just as in last summer’s World Cup semi-final, Christen Press opened the scoring for USA - this time with a delicious curling finish into the far corner. England’s form since the World Cup has been patchy and the pressure is growing on Neville, who indulged in a spot of straw-clutching when facing the media.

The European Under-21 Championship will be delayed to 2022 as, almost certainly, will the 2021 Women's European Championship, which England will host.

There is unanimity amongst the 20 Premier League clubs - in private as well as in their statement - for the current campaign to reach a proper conclusion.

The trouble flared in Monday's match when Lapadula converted an 83rd-minute penalty to cut Cagliari's lead to 2-1 and then rushed to grab the ball out of the net. Sweden international Olsen got there first and hoofed the ball away, prompting an angry remonstration from Lapadula. Olsen then shoved Lapadula with his shoulder, Lapadula appeared to headbutt Olsen on the chin and then Olsen pushed Lapadula to the ground before also falling over, clutching his face.
I've already mentioned a couple of managers facing their old teams this weekend, but this game sees a return to a former club for a player - Manchester United's Harry Maguire, who started his career with the Blades.
