Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Real, who had only picked up a point from their opening two group games, were facing another disappointing result as Zidane saw his side squander a two-goal lead in the Spanish capital. However, Zidane's substitutions paid dividends as the two men he chucked on in the second half combined to score the winning goal, with Vinicius finding an unmarked Rodrygo inside the box late on to smash in the winning goal. It comes a week after the club faced a series of dressing room incidents that left the club in turmoil and Zidane facing the sack. But a win against Antonio Conte's side has somewhat relieved the pressure – and he has the Brazilian duo to thank for their efforts. 'I am very happy for them, the change was to contribute,' Zidane said after the 3-2 win at the Alfredo di Stefano Stadium. The play was very good. We had to add the three points and we, with the contribution of Vini and Rodrygo, who scored a ...

JORDAN JONES JORDAN JONES has been ruled out of contention for a place in the Northern Ireland squad for their upcoming international fixtures after attending a house party on Sunday evening. The former Kilmarnock winger was in the Northern Irish set-up over the last international break, playing his part in their Euro 2020 play-off semi-final win on penalties over Bosnia and their 1-0 defeat to Austria in the Nations League. Jones and his Ibrox team-mate George Edmundson broke government health advice on Sunday night and both have since been suspended whilst the club conducts an internal investigation. Northern Ireland manager Ian Baraclough said: "I have spoken to Jordan today and made my feelings on the matter clear to him. "This team has a responsibility to show leadership not only on the field, but off it too. It is something we have discussed many times. "Jordan is a talented young player who has a lot to offer Northern Irish football. Unfortunatley he has mad...

Messi Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Messi Where do you even start after what can only be politely described as a disjointed showing at Alaves... Let’s begin with Sergio Busquets. There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever now that Busi should not be first choice in the midfield. We got rid of Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal because they were supposedly no longer of sufficient standard to wear the shirt. Busquets isn’t quite there yet, but he’s getting close. The old guard can no longer be cosseted by the club because of their glory days. If they’re not doing the business, either haul them off or don’t start them in the first place. That applies to Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba too. We are in the business of football success, not the business of keeping under-performing employees happy at any cost. Busi’s performance was, frankly, embarrassing and if Koeman can’t see that, then maybe we’ve a problem on the bench too. That...

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com “THEY SPOKE AND THAT’S THAT.” ZIDANE CALMS BENZEMA/VINICIUS RIFT AS HAZARD SCORES SCREAMER ON RETURN Tom Canton Eden hazard returned to score an absolute screamer against Huesca. The away side were yet to pick up a win this season despite drawing 5 of their opening 8 games. Madrid meanwhile, fresh off the back of the El Classico victory and comeback against Gladbach, were happy to have their Belgian talisman back in the side. Picking up the ball and turning 25 yards from goal, Hazard struck the ball with his weaker left foot into the left-hand side of the Huesca net. Karim Benzema continued his fine form, a Lucas Vazquez cross found the Frenchman on the left and his low drive beat Fernandez. Benzema turned creator as his left sided cross found young Uruguayan Federico Valverde and the midfielder slammed a low shot in to make it 3. David Ferreiro scored a consolation with 15 minutes to go but any hopes of a comeback were dashed when M...

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com The Dutchman concedes things aren't going great as he singled out his attack for failing to make the most of their dominance. Barcelona head coach Ronald Koeman admitted he is worried about the stuttering club following their equal worst La Liga start. Barca equalled their worst tally of La Liga points after six games since the Spanish competition reverted to three points for a win following Saturday's 1-1 draw at 10-man Deportivo Alaves. Antoine Griezmann cancelled out Luis Rioja's opener with 27 minutes remaining to salvage a point for Barca, who have just eight points to already be as many points adrift of defending champions and bitter rivals Real Madrid. Barca – who languish in 12th place amid a four-match winless streak in La Liga – have the same total of points as they managed at the start of the 2002-03 campaign under Louis van Gaal. "I'm worried by our performance in attack," Koeman – in his first season at the helm...

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Manchester United began their Champions League campaign with an impressive 2-1 away win at PSG last week. The Red Devils have not won Europe’s elite club competition since Sir Alex Ferguson was still in charge at Old Trafford back in 2008. Ferdinand was still playing for Manchester United back then, and although he would love to see the Red Devils challenge for the Champions League trophy this term, he doesn’t consider Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to be one of the favourites. Speaking to BT Sport on Tuesday night before Manchester United’s clash with RB Leipzig on Wednesday, Ferdinand said: “I don’t think Man United are going to be one of the teams I’d put as favourites. I wouldn’t put them in that bracket. “I think they’ll do very well getting out this group they’re in and they’ve had a fantastic start. “I they’ll do well getting out of that and then just hope to impro...

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jurgen Klopp has received a much-needed boost with the reported news that Fabinho's hamstring injury suffered on Tuesday is not as severe as first feared. The Liverpool makeshift centre-half was forced from the pitch after half-an-hour in the Reds' win against Midtjylland, worsening an already serious defensive injury crisis after Virgil van Dijk's long-term ACL injury. But concerns amongst the Liverpool staff that the Brazilian had suffered a grade-three tear, which could keep him out up for up to six months, were eased after a scan on Wednesday showed a grade-one or grade-two tear, according to The Mirror. The report details that as a result of the diagnosis, there is optimism that Fabinho could be back after the November international break, meaning he would miss just three games.   Until then though, Klopp will have to cope with a shortage of options at centre half, with Joe Gomez the only fully fit senior...

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Lampard had a terrific season last year as boss and led the club back into those Champions League spots and an FA Cup final, where they shocking lost to Arsenal, but that opened the door for a summer of spending. Roman Abramovic has backed the club legend, has given him the funds he needs to sign players, and is seemingly happy with the feeling that is around the club right now, especially with all the young talents coning through. Edouard Mendy has been signed, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell have been signed to improve that midfield, Hakim Ziyech ad Kai Havertz have been signed to give the side a bit more quality in attack, while Timo Werner has been signed to score the goals. However, after a poor performance against West Brom at the weekend and then getting knocked out of the Carabao Cup to Tottenham, there is a feeling around the media that Lampard will be the first Premier League boss to get the sack. Yes he is bring through the talented players...

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com The manager aid he was proud of his players after they drew 2-2 with the German side but predicted a tough term ahead Zinedine Zidane predicted a difficult season for Real Madrid after Casemiro's 93rd-minute goal spared the stuttering La Liga holders an embarrassing Champions League defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach. Marcus Thuram's brace gave hosts Gladbach the lead at Borussia-Park but late strikes from Karim Benzema and Casemiro averted a record fourth consecutive European loss for Madrid with a 2-2 draw on Tuesday. Gladbach became the 30th different opponent Benzema has scored against in the Champions League – only Lionel Messi (36), and Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul (both 33) have scored against more teams in the competition's history.

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Atlético Madrid beat Red Bull Salzburg 3-2 on Tuesday night in the Champions League. It wasn’t classic Cholismo with some poor defending from the home side, but João Félix scored twice and landed his first ever match-winner since his 2019 summer move to Spain. Marcos Llorente continued his rich vein of form, too, and Atlético are off the mark in the Champions League. Simeone was delighted with Félix’s performance and said it might have been his best game yet. “Possibly, given the importance of the game,” he said. “He has played a lot of games at a really high level, but today he was consistent for 90 minutes.” Simeone was unable to offer an update on Saúl, who remains out injured, but did say Kieran Trippier would continue to play despite his poor recent form. “We believe in him,” he said. “(Šime) Vrsaljko’s moment will arrive.

In a largely toothless outing at Turf Moor on Monday night, Jose Mourinho’s men recorded a 1-0 away win against Burnley. With 14 minutes left to go, South Korea international Son headed in from close range after a fine work from strike partner Kane as Sean Dyche’s men lost their fourth game of the 2020-21 campaign. The pair have now combined for 29 goals in the English topflight – equalling a feat achieved by Manchester City’s David Silva and Sergio Aguero (29) as well as the duo of Thierry Henry and Robert Pires (29). Arsenal’s French connection was a huge part of the Gunners’ most successful period of the English elit...

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com A look at what’s happening around the Champions League on Tuesday: GROUP A Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick says Serge Gnabry could return to the starting lineup against Lokomotiv Moscow after an absence blamed on a false positive result in a coronavirus test. Gnabry sat out last week's 4-0 win over Atlético Madrid and the 5-0 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Bayern lost on its last Champions League visit to Russia in 2016 in a surprise 3-2 defeat to Rostov.

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com The big matches continue to come thick and fast for Barcelona as night. The trip to Turin - a repeat of the 2015 final - comes just four days after Ronald Koeman's side were beaten 3-1 at home by their bitterest rivals, leaving them with only one point from their last three domestic outings. Barcelona were much more convincing in their opening Champions League group game, though, with five different players getting on the scoresheet in a comfortable win over Ferencvaros. Here, Sports Mole looks at how Koeman could set his side up for Wednesday showdown. Out: Gerard Pique (suspended), Philippe Coutinho (hamstring), Marc-Andre ter Stegen (match fitness), Samuel Umtiti (match fitness) Doubtful: None Barcelona's struggles at the moment are perhaps best summed up by their likely XI for this match - far from the star-studded team sheet we are used to seeing from the five-time European champions. That is particularly true in defence, where Koema...
