BREAKING: Ballon d’Or: PSG coach, Luis Enrique names player to win award this year
Paris Saint-Germain manager, Luis Enrique, has said he expects Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior to win the Ballon d’Or award this year.....Read Full Article>>
Speaking with TNT Sports Brazil, Enrique also claimed he is not interested in individual awards, as he considers it part of football marketing.
Vinicius is widely expected to take home the Ballon d’Or on October 28, but he will face strong competition from Rodri (Manchester City), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) and Kylian Mbappe (PSG/Real Madrid).
“Who’s going to win it? Do you guys know? I hope it’s Vinícius Júnior, a Brazilian,” Enrique told the Brazilian media outlet.
“He’d deserve it, for sure. But honestly, as a coach, I don’t really care much about these individual awards. I don’t believe in them at all.
“They’re just part of the marketing. Yeah, they recognize a player who’s done well, scored a lot, and won titles, but without the team, a player is nothing.”
Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has given injury updates on his squad ahead of the visit of Southampton in the Premier League this weekend.....Read Full Article>>
According to Guardiola, Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish will all be unavailable.
De Bruyne came off with a groin injury during their goalless draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League last month. He has since missed the last seven games in all competitions.
Walker has sat out City’s last two games due to a knee problem and wingers Doku and Grealish are both out with minor knocks.
It leaves Guardiola with a number of selection dilemmas ahead of the weekend’s contest between second-placed City and second-bottom Southampton
When asked whether De Bruyne or Walker could be involved, Guardiola told reporters: “No, not yet.”
On Doku and Grealish’s chances of featuring, the Spaniard bluntly responded: “No.”
Shakirat Moshood’s 89th minute strike from 24 yards earned Nigeria all three points against a heroic Dominican Republic side in the two team’s final match of Group A at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup on Wednesday morning.....Read Full Article>>
The win ensured that Nigeria will battle USA in the quarter-finals on Saturday. Playing for the first time in Santo Domingo, the barnstorming Nigerians found the going tough under driving rain against a determined host nation, and could not make an overwhelming ball possession count until Moshood, now with four goals, unleashed a rocket from outside the box.
Captain Renata Mercedes and goalkeeper Rondon led a famous resistance against one of the elites of the competition, and the hosts deserved praise for their pushback that ensured the Flamingos made nothing out of 16 corner kicks.
Coach Bankole Olowookere made three changes to the starting line-up, bringing in Rokibat Azeez, Blessing Ifitezue and Ramotalahi Kareem in place of Onyedikachi Ekezie, Peace Effiong and Harmony Chidi.
He restored Effiong and Chidi after the hour, but it took a special effort from Moshood, scorer of the tournament’s fastest goal, to break the hearts of the hosts.
Victory means the Flamingos top their group, three points better than second-placed Ecuador, who walloped New Zealand 4-0 to finish with six points and set up a clash with Spain on Sunday. Caprice Chiuchiolo netted a brace.
The Confederation of African Football, CAF, is expected to announce its decision on the botched 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying Group D between Libya and Nigeria, which was scheduled for Benina Martyrs Stadium on October 15, this Wednesday.....Read Full Article>>
According to Libya Al-Ahrar Channel, CAF will rule on the players’ ordeal during the first leg in Nigeria which ended 1-0 in favour of the Super Eagles and the reverse fixture that was eventually delisted.
The Libyan Football Federation, LFF, has already submitted all the necessary documents to CAF.
Nigeria’s delegation saw their flight diverted to Al Abraq Airport, which is about three hours away by road to Benghazi, the scheduled venue of the match.
They were held them captive for at least 17 hours without food, water and Internet, before they flew back to their home country.
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, lodged a complaint with CAF over their ordeal, but the Libyan Federation insisted the Nigerians did not cooperate with them in any way, whether in the first or second leg.
