The surprise was Portuguese clubs did not look at him seriously until Jorge Jesus, the current Flamengo boss decided to sign him," said Portuguese football writer Jose Delgado. In the media we were asking why Benfica, Sporting or Porto were not going for Fernandes because you could see he was a fantastic player. He was a sure bet and it has proved a great success. The numbers back that up. Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Fernandes has topped the Portuguese Primeira Liga rankings for the most goal involvements (67), most goals outside the penalty area (9), most chances created (239), most shots (271) and most shots on target (114).

SEOUL, April 7 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-min will be exposed to tear gas, undertake live-fire drills and go on a 30km loaded march during three weeks of intense military training in South Korea this month, a Marine Corps official told Reuters on Tuesday. All able-bodied men are required to serve in the military for around two years in South Korea, which is technically still at war with the North, but Son received an exemption for leading the country to gold at the 2018 Asian Games.
Of course, he doesn’t really fit in with Lampard’s intense pressing style but given that a lot of teams appear to have worked out how to negate that system. Giroud, one of the best Plan B options around. Chelsea are struggling to get a lot of their attacking players outside of the striker involved at the moment - hardly surprising when none of them are at the level of Eden Hazard, who could create magic all by himself.
They have four losses in the last 10 matches and three clean sheets, two of which have come in the last two matches. They have not done so well defensively in the past few matches, conceding two or more in five of the last seven games. However, they remain the best defensive side in the league, having conceded 10 goals.
Tianjin, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an, Dalian, Qingdao, Xiamen and Suzhou will be the other host cities for the 18th edition of the continent's premier competition that will be held in June and July, 2023. The AFC Asian Cup is our flagship competition for national teams, and I am sure that the Chinese FA and the selected host cities will deliver a tournament which is in keeping with the event's world-class status," AFC president Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said in a statement.
The Belgian has scored four goals in the last five matches and he will be looking to add more, with Inter going to this clash in good form. Inter have one loss in the last 15 matches but just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches. They have no trailed at half time in any of their last five matches while they have scored two or more in three of their last five matches.
In a tough first half, Silva limped off the pitch in the 16th minute with a muscle problem and was replaced by Idrissa Gueye. Hwang headed home from Nicolas de Preville’s corner as the PSG defence were caught off guard in the 18th minute, only for the hosts' all-time best scorer Cavani to level with a header from Angel Di Maria's cross seven minutes later.
Going to the match, hosts Villarreal have so far managed 54 points and are in fifth place while Barcelona, in second place, have 70 points. A top four place is achievable for Villarreal, as they are just three points out and have had a fine run since the league returned from the forced break. Their top four target will have a big boost if they can win here and their recent run has been very encouraging.
Though Anwar El Ghazi maintained pressure on the visitors until the end, the finish was poor and despite winning a number of set pieces, they were unable to make anything from them, not helped by other injuries that came over the course of the match. Finally it was Vardy again who sealed Villa’s fate as he drilled a low ball past the keeper after a swift counter-attack.
However, because it was initially cleared, the infringement did not count. Burnley have nudged back into the top half of the table- and are unbeaten in the past 14 Premier League matches in which they have led at the break. Man of the match - Ben Mee (Burnley) Despite giving away the penalty Ben Mee was a rock at the back for Burnley as he prevented Tottenham from scoring more'We are not the real deal yet' - what they saidBurnley boss Sean Dyche: "A very rare mistake from Ben Mee and you wonder how it would affect things, but we gripped the game and I was really pleased with it.
You can discuss all these things. But nobody can discuss that around £100m was on the table in the last summer which I think is proof, open proof, that the club wanted to invest. Mourinho, whose side failed register a shot on target in a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth on Thursday, also defended his record since taking charge. Only Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Southampton and Wolves have taken more points than Spurs since his appointment.
The best left foot this decade? Quite possibly. Jamie Vardy(193 appearances; 96 goals; 27 assists) Jamie Vardy scored 24 Premier League goals as Leicester won the 2015-16 titleThe unlikely hero. In 2012, Jamie Vardy was still playing non-league football for Fleetwood Town, before he got his £1m move to then Championship side Leicester City. He only scored five goals in his first campaign in the Premier League - but then netted 24 times as the Foxes won the title the following season.
I believe with effort from everyone at the club we can stick together and overcome this difficult period together. All 16 Chinese Super League clubs are now back in China while the national team, which was training in the United Arab Emirates in preparation for now postponed World Cup qualifying matches, decamped to the southern island of Hainan over the weekend.
SPFL vote saga 'damaging'Petrie described the controversy surrounding the SPFL's vote to end the lower-league season as "unedifying", with an EGM set for 12 May when clubs will decide if an independent investigation is needed. The meeting was forced by Rangers - backed by Hearts and Stranraer - who say they have evidence of a "lack of fair play". I think it's damaging for the game that this has taken as much attention as it has and we need to move on from that," the former Hibernian chairman said.
Despite RB Leipzig being undefeated at home since October last year, they have won only 1 of the last 5 Bundesliga matches at home. After the restart they failed to beat both Freiburg and Hertha BSC at home. However, they are scoring goals easily with 11 goals in the last 3. I give them a good chance to finally win again against Paderborn.
Roger Federer has dropped sets in two of his matches so far. The same stat applies to Tenys Sandgren. Sandgren has had four sets go to tie breaks with two for Federer. Roger Federer hasn't had the easiest of passages to the last eight but he's made it through. He now takes on the unseeded Tenys Sandgren with the winner facing either Novak Djokovic or Milos Raonic in the semi-finals.

Novak Djokovic is back to his dominant best and that's not good news for the rest of the tennis world. He has only dropped one set in this tournament and looks set to win a record eighth Australian Open title. Dominic Thiem is proving at last that he doesnt need clay to get good results and must be a decent bet to dethrone Nadal in Paris this year. Here, he has made his first final but had a much tougher route than his opponent. The tip here is for a Djokovic victory.
Ipswich is coming for this win there is no doubt in that,they are second best team in the league on the road and third best team in the league table overall right now and they surely should be able to win versus a team from relegation zone especylay because thex did not won on the road for a very long time and especially because Tranmere is in Bad shape
I did some analysis, and the average Premier League football club on its last financial results had cash reserves of £24 million quid. Out of the 20 Premier League clubs last season, seven or eight made profit and the league as a whole lost £100 million. THE PLAYERS' PERSPECTIVE Wayne Rooney has had his say on the call for players – at times from the government – to take a pay cut or wage deferral, with England’s all-time leading scorer calling the tactics in play as disgrace, in his weekend column in the Times.

Nonetheless, Forest's work in recent weeks hasn't been quite as impressive as what they were doing earlier on in the season and though they are still proving hard to beat, they've won just 1 of their last 5 matches. Saturday's game provides a good opportunity to return to winning ways but with a strong Wednesday side in town, it'll be no easy task.
Bale remains committed to Real Madrid, says Courtois Gareth Bale is still committed to life at Real Madrid despite a failure to repair his deteriorating relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane, according to Thibaut Courtois. Bale celebrated Wales' qualification for Euro 2020 by posing for cameras behind a flag that read 'Wales, Golf, Madrid' - a reference to the player's alleged lack of interest in playing for the club and preference for the gold course over the Bernabeu.
Former winners Coventry City, who have fallen on hard times, beat Bristol Rovers 3-0 in their replay to set up a 'home' tie with Birmingham City at Birmingham's St Andrews ground where they are currently tenants.

Gil Vicente lost to Portimo at the restart of season 0-1 and remains tenth in the table with 30 points. Famalicao had 10 points more in the standings, and caused a surprise at the first game 2-1 home win against leaders Porto. Gil Vicente was recently weak at home (0-1-2). Gil Vicente has won only 2 of the last 13 league games and is stuck in the red zone having failed to score in 36% of the games. They are on 3 games without a win. Famalicao were on a series of 8 games without victories and have just linked 3 games without being beaten, notably playing Sporting Portugal and Porto! Confidence is logically on their side.
Salford City had some mixed results in their recent matches. They have drawn 2 won 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches. They sit on 12th spot in the league 2 and managed 25 points in this season. Their home record is not that good as they have managed 11 points from their 10 home matches. They have scored 9 goals and allowed 11 goals in their net.
A goalless draw followed, marking only the second time this year that they had kept a clean sheet. Although this statistic indicates that Gladbach have a leaky defence, they actually have the fourth-best defensive record in the division. Putting it simply, the Bundesliga is a league in which goals fly in.
Rebic came on at halftime and levelled from close range within three minutes, his first goal since joining on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt at the start of the season. Donnarumma made amends for his mistake with saves from Rolando Mandragora and Stefano Okaka before Theo Hernandez rifled Milan in front from outside the area, meeting the ball first time after a clearance was headed straight to him.

Lampard: I wouldn't manage Spurs Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has said he would not follow in Jose Mourinho's footsteps in taking charge of Tottenham in the future. Mourinho joked "That was before I was sacked!" after he was asked about going back on his word when taking charge of Spurs - which you can see in the video below.
This exposes the crazy economics in English football and the moral vacuum at its centre. GREATEST BURDEN Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said top players should be the ones who make the sacrifices. It should be those with the broadest shoulders who go first because they can carry the greatest burden and have probably got savings, rather than those who were in catering or hospitality who have probably got no savings and live week by week and who probably won’t get the (government) benefits for five weeks," he told the BBC.
Real Esteli is going to face Diriangen. The hosts in the last five won twice, draw twice and lost one clash. They scored five goals and conceded three. Esteli at home won 5 of 8 matches, scored 17 goals and conceded only three. Four wins in a row it was a great strike for Esteli at home but they draw in the previous round against Managua. Diriangen lost 0:3 against Juventus Managua on away and 1:2 against Managua FC. I don't think that Esteli will struggle in this clash and not win. I pick an Asian handicap -1 for Real Esteli
Jonas Baer-Hoffmann, general secretary of FIFPRO, has praised the players who agreed to take pay cuts but warned that the example should not be used to pressure those at smaller clubs.

How can football come out of the lockdown and what does it mean for players who have been confined to their homes for weeks on end?The German Bundesliga is hoping to return behind closed doors in May despite the current coronavirus pandemic, while France and Belgium have ended their leagues early and the Netherlands have cancelled theirs. Europe’s other major leagues are all planning to resume when it is safe to do so.
Those statistics perhaps justify the tactical reasoning behind the change, but what do you think?'For me, it was the wrong call'Former Everton defender Joleon Lescott criticised the decision. He told Sky Sports: "Yeah, that's tough to take as an individual. He's a young player as well. For me, it was the wrong call. I know after the game he said it wasn't about his performances but the fact he didn't shake his hand after the game makes me believe it was something about his performance that he didn't like.
Newly promoted Granada temporarily held a share of the lead in La Liga after a run of six wins from eight games earlier in the campaign; however Nazaries have dropped like a stone since the end of October, drawing one and losing four of their last five La Liga games including last weekend's 2-0 defeat away to Athletic Bilbao.
Disregarded by Frank Lampard, the most expensive goalkeeper in history will be on the market this summer. Given no one will put £71m on the table, Chelsea may loan him out to see if he prospers elsewhere. At 25, he still remains a solid bet and a number of clubs should be interested but. WHO IS INTERESTED? .
