Everyone here in Portugal expected that he would move. Nobody expected him to start the season here because all of us know that he belongs to a completely different level of football. Even the fans of Sporting expected him to move in the summer. Everyone was waiting for him to move to England or Spain and to a massive club such as Manchester United.

In terms of the result, we're giving our tentative vote to the draw. Eibar are impossible to fancy for the win based on recent form, yet Granada are equally unappealing after so many defeats since the beginning of November. Based on our fancy for Granada to score and the fact that Eibar have averaged just under one goal per game this season, 1-1 is our correct score pick.
He added defender Aymeric Laporte was nearing a return to action from a knee injury. Leroy is still not training with us but everything's going really, really well and he should be training with us in another week," Guardiola told reporters ahead of Saturday's Premier League game with ninth-placed Crystal Palace.
Peterborough haven’t had quite such a cheery festive fixture list. They were hammered 4-0 at Rotherham on Sunday to follow on from a 3-0 Boxing Day drubbing against Doncaster. Still, they sit in a promising 6th position and lie just two points adrift of 2nd placed Oxford United, so there is plenty of reason for optimism.

There is little fault in their attack though, having failed to score in just one of the seven matches, and understandably against Borussia Dortmund. In their last home match, Hertha lost 4-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt courtesy of a second half capitulation, after taking a 24th minute lead. They will be keen to avoid a repeat.
It will be absolutely exciting. I’m really delighted for the boys. Ancelotti to Everton? Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly arrived on Merseyside as Everton look to enter talks with the Italian regarding replacing Marco Silva, according to Sky Sports News. Ozil invited to visit Xinjiang China's Foreign Ministry said on Monday that Mesut Ozil's criticism of the treatment ethnic Muslims in the country was "deceived and misled", and said that the Arsenal footballer was welcome to visit the far western Xinjiang region to witness the situation for himself.
Klopp said Alexander-Arnold's crossing, which also led to a penalty against Leicester, was exceptional but he batted away questions on whether the right back was the best player in the world in that position. I'm not too interested, to be honest. We're not looking for one, let me say it like this," Klopp added.
Leicester City are into their third EFL Cup quarter-final in as many seasons - they have lost on penalties in the previous two, both against Manchester City. The Foxes last reached the semi-final in the 1999-2000 campaign, going on to win the trophy. Brendan Rodgers has progressed from 28 consecutive domestic cup ties (one with Liverpool, 24 with Celtic, three with Leicester), last failing in the FA Cup semi-final with Liverpool in April 2015 against Aston Villa.
Chelsea flew out of the traps looking to improve in their recent poor home form, and almost took the lead in fortuitous circumstances early on as Callum Hudson-Odoi clipped what looked like a cross over Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno, but saw the ball hit the top of the crossbar. The hosts did not have to wait long, however, given more than a helping hand from a familiar source.
And not just once, but twice. In early December the two sides met at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, with Lazio coming from behind to win 3-1. It handed Juventus their first defeat of the season and underlined the feeling that this would be a real title battle. But Lazio were not done there. Three days before Christmas, the two sides met in Saudi Arabia for the Italian Super Cup final - and again Lazio triumphed 3-1.
On Tuesday, Bayern moved closer to an eighth successive Bundesliga title as they won 1-0 at Dortmund. After that match, Dortmund boss Lucien Favre said it would be "brutally difficult" for anyone to stop Bayern becoming German champions for a 30th time. What's next? Hertha Berlin, who move up to 10th in the Bundesliga, play at home against Augsburg on Saturday, before RB Leipzig play away at Cologne on Monday.
Ulsan and Jeonbuk face each other, with both teams leading the table. Both teams are separated by only one point, I am betting on the draw, the host could only win in direct comparison in the last games. There were two drawers and two times today's guest won. Ulsan Hyundai have conceded no goals in five of the six wins. Scoring an average of 2.38 goals per league clash, it should be noted that Ulsan has been characterized by starting games slowly and in five crashes without being able to score before the break. Jeonbuk have been unstoppable as well.
Well I had a bet on Angelholms that they shall win by at least 2 goals difference a few days ago against a club beyond the 4th league level in Sweden at this moment BK Astrio and they did open the scoring in the middle of the first half but by the 60 minute of the game they were actually 2-1 down and ended up losing that game by that score, so of course I no longer trust them to win here as they face a middle of the league table club from the 3rd league level which at least on paper should be much stronger than their previous opponent Astrio.
The Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 both began allowing moves on Wednesday and all the window in all countries will stay open until Friday January 31. The top 10 January transfer targets - and where they could go Portugal and the Netherlands are not open to transfers until Friday, with the former league's window remaining open until February 2.
Football match from the Australian women's league and we have Adelaide united playing host to Western Sydney Wanderers. When the two teams meet this season it ended with a 2-1 win in favor of western Sydney, but in this match more than a goal margin.
Kevin Maguire: In New Zealand you couldn't play with out a referee and couldn't challenge for the ball from behind or the side of the player in possession. Ed Waddington: Indeed, that is still a rule. I've come to like it though, as it removes the usual brawls associated with five-a-side. Steve Doig: I manage a Wednesday night eight-a-side team. I have always loved soccer but since I turned 41 I love it more, playing with mates under the lights is what it's all about.

Brazil has withdrawn its bid to host the 2023 Women's World Cup. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said the government did not consider it wise to offer financial guarantees in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Brazil will now support Colombia's proposal, which is up against Japan and a joint bid from Australia and New Zealand to host the 32-team tournament. Fifa will vote to select the hosts on 25 June.

Oldham have kept two clean sheets in their last three league games while Leyton Orient are without a clean sheet in any of their last six matches in all competitions and have failed to score in two of their last three league games, all of which adds weight to our prediction fo a 1-0 home win on Saturday.

Faced with an extreme situation like the one we lived in Malta, I had to assume the leadership of everyone's team. The objective of the classification entrusted to me has been achieved comfortably. I wish this situation had never occurred. Now we would be equally classified. Assessing the last hours in office or even the last days, would only serve to enter a spiral of reproaches and justifications for each of the parties.
We all feel extremely grateful to be part of the club's history, to be here in this moment," said Froese. We're just focused on one game - 90 minutes. We've got to give our all, fight and see what happens. The odds are in their favour. We're the underdogs. It's nice to make history and do things which haven't been done before. Everything is achievable and to be played for. That's the mentality we're going into the game with.

They say that if the Arab state is associated with the globally positive image of the Premier League, it would gloss over the abuses that occur in the country. Lina al-Hathloul says her sister Loujain, a human rights activist, is one such example. Loujain campaigned for women's rights to drive; according to her sister, she has been in prison for two-and-a-half years and has been tortured, sexually harassed and held in solitary confinement for eight months.
Well this is going to be one very tough match for sure but the odds are dropping for the hosts with a good reason. FC Slutsk at this match will be without very few important missing like Marat Buraev , Soslan Takulov, Roman Krivukilin and Yuri Kozlov this are all key players and are out.Smolevichy on the other hand will be in full squad. Even though the results are not speaking this they are showing some very good performances lately. They are much better team now with a few individual qualities for sure. My call for this one is 1-0 or 2-1 for hosts.

Leicester captain Schmeichel made one save in the entire contest but it was key as he guessed the right way to keep out Maupay's thumping penalty, awarded after Justin James bundled over Aaron Connolly in the area. At the other end, the statistics will show Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan as having made two stops, although they were more akin to pass backs than efforts on goal. Leicester playmaker James Maddison barely made a mark on the game - he lashed a shot over in frustration - while striker Jamie Vardy's wait for his 100th Premier League goal continues.
I have an opinion on football but this is a real serious thing to talk about I think and the answers should come from people who know more about it," Klopp said before Wednesday's semi-final against Mexican club Monterrey. I have to be influential in football but not in politics. Anything I say wouldn't help, it would just create another headline, positive or negative. I like that you ask the question but I think I am the wrong person.
We’re also opting for a 1-1 correct score prediction. Aston Villa have averaged 1.33 goals per game on home soil this season and have conceded 1.0 goals per game, and they face a Newcastle side that have averaged 1.0 goals per game on the road too. Additionally, six of the last 12 league meetings between these sides have ended all square, four of which have been 1-1 scorelines.
