Schafft der VfB Stuttgart den nächsten Sieg und damit den sicheren Platz drei? Das Spiel zwischen dem FC Augsburg und dem VfB Stuttgart am .... VfB Stuttgart startet ins neue Jahr – hier wird das 1. Spiel Compulsory breaks to prevent player burnout are urgently needed, world players' union FIFPRO has said. “It’s true that it’s complicated to play every two days,” he told GOAL. “We played a decisive match across 120 minutes, and the boys will find themselves again to go again and play a match just as important. After some half-time substitutions from Diego Siomeone, which included Luis Suarez, Atletico Madrid looked a bit sharper and more proactive in the second half. Half-time substitute Rashica, who had played a large part in the Canaries' improved second-half performance, was alert at the far post to tap home from a Teemu Pukki cross to give the visitors the lead. “It was not an easy game. When we conceded the goal, it made my team react and it was very complex. In the second half, we didn't lose concentration and managed to organise ourselves and take control of the game,” Halilhodzic told the media as quoted by CafOnline. The game's decisive moment - and one which will live long in FA Cup folklore - came when home goalkeeper Martin Dubravka appeared to have smothered the danger as the visitors threatened his goal, but was then robbed of the ball. It's incredible that a football organisation can propose that their players - on top of an already heavy schedule - should play a month-long tournament every summer. Meanwhile, Sky in Italy is reporting that former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has been in contact with United about taking over, should they decide to make a change. His departure will be felt not just by the fans but also by his team-mates. Kevin Nisbet and Christian Doidge have thrived off his service and that ability to create chances. We have to give that freedom to players, especially the strikers, but you also want to have your defensive and offensive shape as a team. I think the sort of standard-bearer would be the Barcelona team right now. But I think there's still, when you get to the national team level, I think it's still a little bit to be decided. The World Cup 2023 is going to be bonkers. Marc and I have been playing together since the early 1990s and we have been colleagues for almost 10 years now. That has now come to a very abrupt end.

Assistants Pepijn Lijnders and Peter Krawietz have also extended their contracts and will continue to work alongside Klopp. Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, who now serves as FIFA's head of Global Football Development, has backed the move although it is yet unclear how FIFA will manage to fit more football into an already stretched schedule. It's a tough schedule and you feel it on your body, but the squads these days are built for it. Most modern squads in the Premier League have two XIs and it's the teams in Europe, who have big squads to cope with that, I hear complaining the most. It's why I don't have much sympathy. He's got the team pressing from the front making the opposition make mistakes but he wants more and knows he can get more. Several players, along with their wives and partners, have already travelled over to the United Arab Emirates, however, and are enjoying some down time before the rest of the squad and coaching staff arrive later in the week, with the first training session scheduled for late on Thursday afternoon. The chant was repeatedly voiced during Spurs' 2-0 home defeat against Wolves on Sunday in the Premier League. Now he will be playing against West Ham in the FA Cup fourth round this Saturday. Yeah, 100% [I'm someone who never gives up], he says with a smile. He wakes up every day wanting to improve, and it's been a pleasure and a privilege to have him with us in this short period. “I enjoyed my time there and I learned a lot, he insists. I was around some really nice people and top players. I wouldn’t say I’ve got any regrets. I just wanted to go out and play. Bournemouth attracted me with their style of play and the manager at the time. I just felt it was the right step for me.” Sky Sports pundit Merson believes Tuchel was playing a dangerous game by pre-determining the substitution, while he also looks ahead to what the rest of the season has in store for Chelsea and Liverpool. The 24-year-old Scotland international was ever-present in Arsenal's defence this season but after suffering a bruised ankle in their 2-2 home draw against Crystal Palace, he missed the league victory over Aston Villa and Tuesday's Carabao Cup win over Leeds. “It was an immediate yes because they were offering shares in the company as well,” he says. “As you know, I think that's huge. For any player, any young guy, I think investing is important, so as far as giving me the opportunity to do that at an early age is amazing. How did Manchester United get their game called easily against Brentford, whereas Chelsea asked for the same at Molineux, but the game went ahead? Six wins and two draws have lifted them from the bottom of the Premier League table up to fifth place. But I will not go further than that. Mura centre-back Matic Marusko is set to return to European action for the Slovenian side after suspension. Scotland ended their preparations with a 1-0 win over Luxembourg and their campaign at the European Championships gets under way at Hampden Park on June 14. The same can be said of Smith Rowe who finished last season with two goals and four assists in 1,448 minutes of Premier League play. This season, the midfielder has eight goals and two assists from 1,186 minutes. Smith Rowe has added the one thing that was lacking from his game - a final product.

The full-back racked up 31 games, scoring five goals and providing a further six assists, as he played a pivotal role in the Yorkshire side's play-off promotion to the Championship. Jonjo Shelvey scored his second goal of the season after being denied in the first half Howe's methods starting to bear fruit We were playing Barcelona and Real Madrid and he was on the bench as a second choice left-back.
