You just have to look at what he achieved as a player with Leeds United and England and as a manager with Ireland to realise that his legendary tag is fully deserved. He was such a huge character and such a great man. When he walked into a room, you waited to see what he was about to say. There was always a nugget in there when he spoke and always something worth listening to, no matter what the subject.
Rakow and Zaglebie will face each other in the upcoming match in the Ekstraklasa in Poland. Rakow this season have the following results: 11W, 5D and 13L. Meanwhile Zaglebie have 10W, 8D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Chelsea v SouthamptonSouthampton were very impressive in their win at relegation rivals Aston Villa, but so was Chelsea's performance to beat Tottenham. It was a huge win for Blues boss Frank Lampard for all sorts of reasons, not least because they had lost four of their previous five league games. Chelsea's problem this season has been consistency and Southampton will make things difficult for them but, after beating Spurs, I don't think they will follow that up by dropping points here.
Equally, when Tottenham got their second, Mourinho first yelled at the group of players to his left who were celebrating - then, when he got no response, to Toby Alderweireld 40 yards away to his right, to deliver an instruction. I want to do my things and I have started doing my things," he said afterwards with a glint in his eye. I hope that you [the media] don't understand it very well and you don't speak about it a lot.
Pogba responded by saying he did not know who the three-time European Cup winner was. I heard he was a great player and stuff like that. I know the face but (not) the name," Pogba said. I watch a lot of football but I don't stay after the game to listen to what they say about why they did this or why they did that.
Rangers chairman Dave King says he does not intend to sell his Ibrox shares but has confirmed plans for a share issue. King announced at the club's AGM in November that he would step down from the helm after five years in charge. Reports on Tuesday said Far East real estate tycoon Stuart Gibson is set to lead a multi-million pound investment in the club. I am not selling any shares," King told the Press Association.
The visitors head back from their clash with Istanbul Basaksehir on the back of another win, but they’re now going to have to quickly readjust ahead of a crucial trip. Roma head here in fifth place, but they can move into the top four with three points. Will the Giallorossi be able to break down Verona and take that chance?
With nine games remaining in the season, Bayern Munich lead the table, four points ahead of Borussia Dortmund, with Leverkusen in fifth and chasing a Champions League spot. We’re also in the semi-finals of the Cup, and we’re still in the Europa League," said Rolfes who insisted his players are not fearful of contracting Covid-19 when football does return. On Friday, fellow Bundesliga side Cologne said three people at the club had tested positive for coronavirus, but that training will "continue as planned".
It was hardly a scintillating performance from the Villains though, and the fact that it ended a four match losing streak indicates that they still have a lot of work on their hands if they are to clinch survival this term. They have picked up just seven points from the last 30 available, and six of those points have come at Villa Park.
Famalicao vs Vitoria Setubal predictions ahead of this clash on Sunday in the Primeira Liga. Can the hosts continue their strong form with a victory this weekend? Read on for our free Portuguese Primeira Liga predictions and betting tips.
In Czech Republic, Usti nad Labem and Zbrojovka Brno are expected to play today their FNL match at Mestsky stadion stadium, Usti nad Labem. Currently, the teams have positioned themselves at position 7 and 3 respectively.
The Hammers showed that if teams attack the Reds defence then they stand a better chance of upsetting them and that was the case on Saturday as they struggled to deal with the Hornets' high press. A couple of wayward clearances from Alisson early on, when the Liverpool goalkeeper was under pressure, provided a hint of what was to come. The defensive pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Dejan Lovren also looked vulnerable, certainly in comparison to the seemingly impenetrable Van Dijk-Joe Gomez partnership, with Gomez out because of a fitness issue.
BATE have lost the first leg of the Belarusian Cup semifinals against Slavia Mozyr conceding once on the road. They are usually much better at home so I expect them to show a much better football this time.
Video - Tottenham lead Liverpool in hunt for Turkish goalkeeper - Euro Papers01:16 When pressed further on the Borussia Dortmund man, Abidal refused to say whether Barca would move for him again, but admitted his admiration for him. I know him. He has a profile that has depth. He is important, and in his team he is decisive.
Cremonese have lost 2 of their last 5 matches. They had some mixed performances in recent matches. They are coming into this match after 2 consecutive draws. Their last draw was against Livorno where both teams were unable to score goals. They sit on 15th spot in the league table.
The victory took them to second place in Serie A and they now travel to AC Milan who moved up to fifth after a win at Sassuolo on Tuesday. Atlalanta moved to within six points of leaders Juventus but from a game more. They lead third placed Inter by two points, though they will be overtaken if Inter beat Fiorentina on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old’s ban was increased, ruling him out until June 17, while his fine was doubled to £150,000. Following an appeal by the FA of the previous findings of the independent regulatory commission in this case, an independent appeal board has found that the regulatory commission misapplied the FA's rules in relation to the use of inside information and made findings of fact which could not be sustained," read a statement from the FA.
Boxing The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been accused of irresponsibility after two Turkish boxers and a trainer caught the coronavirus during a qualifying event in London this month. Good morning Hope you are keeping well. Welcome back to our live updates of how the coronavirus is impacting sport, and lives, across the world.
Burnley's form is the polar opposite, and has put them in the picture for European qualification. I am not expecting a thriller - this will be a tight battle much like it was when they met at Turf Moor in December and the Clarets edged it. This time, I am going to go for a draw. That would not solve Newcastle's problems, but it would inch them a bit closer to safety. As for the Clarets and a possible return to Europe, I would question whether they would want to be back in the Europa League.
It's the wrong call," Mourinho said. This is England, this is the Premier League, this is the best competition in the world, with characteristics that if we change them we are killing the best league in the world. Taylor had the feeling, he was there, he saw it clearly so I think it's the wrong call.
Kilmarnock's approach increasingly allowed Celtic defenders to step out as they had little to contend with. It proved key as Simunovic nodded Greg Taylor's cross back to Edouard, who outmuscled Kirk Broadfoot to net the second. The second half was a procession towards Kilmarnock's goal as Celtic searched for the crucial third. That task became more straightforward when Power received a second yellow after tackling Jeremie Frimpong.
Subs - Mendy 5, Modric 4, Vinicius 5. Celta Vigo - Ruben 6, Kevin 6, Aidoo 7, Araujo 5, Murillo 6, Olaza 6, Bradaric 5, Okay 6, Rafinha 8, Aspas 7, Smolov 7. Subs - Sisto 5, Mina 7, Suarez 7. KEY MOMENTS 7’ GOAL! Real Madrid 0-1 Celta Vigo: Celta Vigo have taken a shock lead at the Santiago Bernabeu! Smolov was played in behind Varane, the Russian's first touch set him up for the finish and he rolled the ball past Courtois and into the back of the Real Madrid net! What a start! 44’ Courtois forced into action! What a chance that was for Celta Vigo to double their advantage with Aidoo getting on the end of a corner kick into the area, but Courtois makes the save from his header.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on the hosts will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. AZ head into the game as the clear form favourites with eight wins from their last nine matches, while Ajax look vulnerable for the first time this season following back to back defeats and no goals in their last two matches. If AZ are going to close the gap on Ajax then this would appear to be the most likely moment to do so, with the home advantage and form in their favour. However, Ajax are yet to lose on the road so the double chance bet covers us if the pair play out a draw.
Raul Jimenez is always worth considering too, his 13 Premier League goals this season have been worth 16 points to Wolves - no other player's strikes have been as valuable to their teams this season. If you're looking to strengthen at the other end of the pitch then Matt Doherty may be your man. In the past four gameweeks the right-back has one goal, two assists and three clean sheets. He also scored and set up two goals against Espanyol in Europe.
Smolevichy-STI Res. will against Shakhtyor Res. in match Belarusia Reserve. My prediction this match could be the win for Smolevichy-STI Res. with margin score is 1 goal. Smolevichy-STI Res. have great result on last 3 match in league due to Smolevichy-STI Res. have won for the all match. Meanwhile, Shakhtyor Res. have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Shakhtyor Res. only have draw in 3 match. Therefore my prediction that Smolevichy-STI Res. can beat Shakhtyor Res. due to Smolevichy-STI Res. very strong in every home match. Surely Shakhtyor Res. will difficult to beaten Smolevichy-STI Res.
Chances went begging at either end before Fabian Schar volleyed in a 59th-minute equaliser, firing past Jordan Pickford after Andy Carroll had headed a Jetro Willems free kick into the defender's path. Everton, whose lightning breaks kept carving open the home team's defence all afternoon, struck again five minutes later when Calvert-Lewin bundled in Richarlison's perfect low cross from the right.
Sebeta Kenema will host Welayta Dicha for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. I expect, this will be another one tough match for both sides. Also, I think, the visitors have a real chance to make a positive result. I do not think, the hosts to dominate in this game. Sebeta City have slight advantage at home stadium. Sebeta is worst team on the home ground. Also, we have Welayta Dicha who's is also poor team in the last matches. Nevertheless, they will try to pick up all three points.
He was then saying: 'Look what we can do when we stick together. Jurgen believes in togetherness and unity, and when he talks about being stronger together there are echoes of Bill Shankly. The fact he was saying that chimed with supporters, who felt there had never been a greater gap between supporters and players. It was really exciting. The return of magical European nights at Anfield Liverpool 4-3 Borussia Dortmund (5-4 agg) - 14 April 2016Klopp again got his players to take a bow at the Kop after this one - but nobody was laughing this time.
Huesca are unbeaten in the last 4 rounds, in which they drew 2 and lost 2. At this time on the ranking, the host is currently ranked fourth with 39 points after 23 rounds. However, their gap with the top teams is very small and they can absolutely compete for a promotion next season. Lugo is extremely difficult to get a secure position on the chart. Meanwhile, Huesca is one of the leading candidates for the ticket back to La Liga. With a huge difference in qualification, Huesca will be determined to win this match. Huesca's last 5 meetings with Lugo only lost 1 and won 3 times.
Personally I have enjoyed it. I enjoy doing new things. Club captain Hugo Lloris, who returned to action in the victory over Norwich after being out with an elbow injury since October, was also quick to dispel rumours of unrest. The atmosphere is great, we can feel all the players involved and ready to fight for the club, the new manager and his staff," he said. We cannot control everything you say outside but I can confirm the atmosphere is very positive.
Senior management at Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion have taken voluntary three month pay cuts to help protect staff jobs. Others, such as Tottenham Hotspur who imposed a 20% pay cut on 550 non-playing staff on Tuesday, have said they hoped players would end up "doing their bit for the football eco system.
Norwich moved to within four points of an unlikely escape from the Premier League relegation zone as Jamal Lewis' fine goal gave them a precious win against Leicester. The Canaries were in real danger of being cut adrift heading into the final 10 games of the season but can now retain hope of overhauling the struggling sides above them after a much-needed win. Daniel Farke's side had not scored from open play since New Year's Day but managed to hang on after Lewis smashed in for a fifth win of the season.
But the virus has sparked a financial crisis for the DFB, president Fritz Keller told a news conference with 20 invited reporters connected remotely, with 250,000 jobs under threat.

This odds are really amazing on over 2,5 in this duel from Bahrain elite league and I think it is pretty real and ok to try it. So, Al Hala is team who is in last match at home won even 5-0, but in next one, as a guests, they are lost 0-1. It is the fact that they are playing much better at home and more efficient, and as a guests, they are surely weaker. Rival, or in this case East Riffa is team who is in last round lost 3-1 against Riffa Club and they are generally very efficient, also.
