Although he carries a statesmanlike appearance on the touchline, he leads training at the club's Finch Farm complex, complete with cap and whistle, alongside assistants Davide, also his son, and Duncan Ferguson. Sessions are short and sharp in contrast to the more long-winded fare under Silva, which players became tired of. And there is a less regimented feel with players not forced to eat at specific times.
Recent matches between these two clubs have been tight, tense, and low-scoring with four of their last five encounters producing under 2.5 goals and three of the last four meetings ending 1-1 after ninety minutes. Vitoria Setubal are yet to lose at home in the Primeira Liga this season but have only won three of those eight matches, with the other five games all ending in stalemates. Sporting have performed better on the road than they have at home so far this season, securing four wins and two draws from their eight away games.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Ridsdale, now the owner's representative at Championship side Preston North End, said: "I do think where we're at at the moment is a real opportunity to try and correct some of the problems with finance within football by seeing some of the cash from the Premier League flowing down the leagues. Your bottom team in the Premier League can get £96m, and then another £93m in parachute payments over three seasons, whereas teams in the Championship get £7m, teams in League One get £1.
Ferencvaros winger Tokmac Nguen says he is "angry" and "shocked" after being reprimanded by the Hungarian Football Federation for making an anti-racism statement. Kenya-born Nguen unveiled a 'Justice for George Floyd' T-shirt after scoring at Puskas Akademia on Sunday. Floyd, an unarmed black man, died while being restrained by a white Minneapolis police officer on 25 May. It was a very important message and I'm standing by it," said Nguen.
What has really impressed about Salzburg is the way in which they've got at teams, played without fear and scored plenty of goals. It's no fluke that Jesse Marsch's men have scored more goals than each of the other three sides in Group E. The Austrians have adopted a forward-thinking approach at every turn. Such an approach has left them open to attack on several occasions, but had they not looked to get on the front foot then they probably wouldn't be in with a shout of making the last-16.

When TV cop Saga Noren speeds across the Oresund Bridge to Copenhagen it is often a matter of life and death. When Malmo FF make the same journey on Thursday it will be much more important than that. For decades, fans of the Swedish club have dreamt of a first European away trip to their near neighbours FC Copenhagen and the chance to knock the most successful Scandinavian club of the modern era off their perch.
Bolton Wanderers 4-3 Reading (aet)In the 1994-95 First Division season, the play-off final took on added significance as it decided the second of only two promotion places to the Premier League. Reading would have been toasting automatic promotion in previous campaigns for finishing second in the regular season, but the top flight was trimming itself down from 22 teams to 20, meaning only two would go up.

Lionel Messi scored a stunning late winner to send Barcelona back to the top of La Liga with a 1-0 away win over Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano. See alsoAtletico Madrid v Barcelona: as it happened Diego Simeone’s side had plenty chances to find the back of the net, but were thwarted more than once by Marc-Andre Ter Stegen who was in inspired form.
Pulisic had provided the best chance of the half - controlling Antonio Rudiger's cross, turning sharply and firing it towards the roof of the net, forcing a save from Krul - before he eventually set-up Giroud's header with a swinging cross from the right. The goal should have been a catalyst for Chelsea to release the shackles but the fluidity never really materialised, despite them still being able to create further chances.
I can already predict the argument they will run at Cas. The ECHR said that, in terms of a fair trial process, having a disciplinary body that also appoints the panellists who carry out the decision-making means there isn't sufficient distance between the two. In terms of the adjudicatory chamber members' expenses and appointments, they are at the behest of Uefa. That's not going to necessarily be sufficient to show a lack of impartiality, but you can see how there are arguments, and they have to raise those points now for them to be considered further down the line.
She does not yet know when she will make her debut in America's NWSL, with the start of the season indefinitely suspended amid the coronavirus pandemic. I'm none the wiser than you right now. Who knows," Moore continued. On 11 May pre-season is meant to start back up again, so hopefully I get out there for then, but if I don't, I'll still be trying to keep myself in the best condition.

TALKING POINT Arsenal bounce back, eventually. After a crushing Europa League exit at the hands of Olympiacos last week, another cup exit five days later would have really deflated Arsenal. Even though Arteta opted to make a number of changes from the last game it looked as though the Gunners were still feeling the after-effects as they struggled to contain Portsmouth in the first half.

And when it comes to points accumulated, it is another feather in the cap for Bruce, whose side have four more at this stage than his predecessor managed last term. For that he has his backline to largely thank for both keeping it tight in defence and providing a threat up front - prior to Shelvey's second against City, eight of the past 10 Newcastle goals had been scored by defenders. Do the front three deserve more praise? Newcastle forward Allan Saint-Maximin impressed against Manchester City with his direct styleOn the flip side, some of the Toon Army will tell you their attack of Joelinton and widemen Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron have underperformed.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in Moreirense’s favour. The hosts head into the game just a point behind their guests but with a decent record at home. Belenenses have failed to score in the majority of their away games this season and we’re expecting that trend to continue on Sunday.
Basaksehir, whose side is largely made up of well-known players coming to the end of their careers, are also in with a strong shout of making the last-32, though they'll need to do something that they've not done yet and that is beat one of the top two.
this is going to be really good match because we have second and third best teams on the table and it is hard to bet against either of them,Melbourne city because they are very tough team to beat when they are playing at home and Perth glory on the other because they are in fantastic shape and they won 5 games in a row, so I think draw is the most realistic result in my opinion to happen and also none of the teams will be unhappy with that outcome, and the odd is great so I think it worth to risk
This fixture features No. 5 vs No. 1 in the league, Atalanta vs Juventus. The hosts coming from a 0 - 0 away draw with Sampdoria (no. 17 in the league) and their last home game a 0 - 2 loss to Cagliari. The visitors coming from a 1 - 0 home win over AC Milan (No. 14 in the league) and their last away game a 0 - 1 win over Torino. The visitors should win this one even though they played a lower table team than the hosts and won the game scoring one goals and not conceding then also won their last away game scoring one goal and not conceding to a team below the hosts facing a team coming from playing a team below themselves, not scoring or conceding a goal to draw the match then losing their last home game to a team below the hosts so a DNB is given because this game could also end in a goalless draw.
Neale Cooper and I had got used to standing at the side of the Pittodrie pitch. Two Aberdonian schoolboys - best friends - frozen, waiting behind the Beach End goal to scurry away after shots. But only a few years later, we found ourselves a long way from home and from our ball boy duties, yet still side-by-side. We were lying in adjacent beds in the team hotel, buried somewhere in the Swedish forest, dreaming about beating Real Madrid in a European final the next day.
