That was evident after the 2-2 draw with Newcastle last month when Everton threw away a two-goal lead deep into injury time. Instead of another volley of criticism, though, Ancelotti added perspective by referring to how his AC Milan team threw away a three-goal lead in the 2005 Champions League final against Liverpool. There are things in football you cannot control," he said. Simplifying tactics and keeping the faithMuch of Ancelotti's success so far has come by simplifying how his team plays and leaning on those who are already established at the club.

We have to put the blinkers on," the 53-year-old said. It is not the easiest game I ever prepared with a team because there are two things tomorrow [Wednesday] night. Usually I don't have to think about anything else other than the football game and I can be focused. But in the end we can only win if we are 100% so we have to go for something as well, it is not as if we are there waiting for the party to start.
She has visited "four or five" franchises, most recently meeting with entrepreneur Jorge Mas, a member of Inter Miami's ownership group with famed English footballer David Beckham. You never feel like the new kid on the block – or, if you do, it was very short-lived. The collection of MLS owners features its fair share of established sports scions, including New England Revolution owner Kraft, who also helms the NFL's New England Patriots, and Atlanta United's Arthur Blank, owner of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons.
AnalysisFormer Derby County midfielder Craig Ramage, who works as Rams summariser for BBC Radio Derby"There is going to be more bums on seats because of the Rooney factor against Barnsley, that is inevitable.

And if we haven't even achieved that, then homophobia in football is trailing behind. There is still a lot of work to be done. The culture is slowly changing' Australian rugby union authorities ended Israel Folau's contract over a social media post in which he said "hell awaits" gay peopleSimilar problems exist in other sports too. Earlier this year, Australian rugby union authorities ended Israel Folau's contract over a social media post in which he said "hell awaits" gay people.
Media playback is not supported on this device Scott Pittman clears out manager with slide tackle Rangers edge out Livingston with Arfield winner January moves paying dividends for HibsRangers are currently struggling to find a creative spark in the final third. Arfield apart, very few of their attacking midfielders are chipping in with goals. There is a certain irony, then, that it is their on-loan midfielder, Greg Docherty, who is providing just that for Hibs.
The 2020 regular season was originally scheduled to finish on Oct. November. Leagues around Asia have been hit by the outbreak, with the Chinese Super League yet to start and Japan's J-League halted after one round of games. The Japanese, however, are set to begin in the country's lower divisions from April 25 with the J-League's top flight slated to restart on May 9.
AC Milan have won 15 of their 19 first Serie A games of a new year in the 21st century (D2 L2), winning each of their last three. Meanwhile, Samp head into this clash with four defeats in five, having lost 75% of their away Serie A games so far this term. That’s set Milan up as the heavy favourites, while the Rossoneri have already beaten the bottom three so far.
From the two games played today in Greece Super League I obviously prefer this one to be taking a bet on a high over line as Aris started this group very attacking minded at home against OFI Crete and won the game with 3-1 while the the hosts pretty much settled they will win the title this season by defeating 2nd placed PAOK with 1-0 on the road, but not at home they should be even more exuberant as not so long ago they hosted Aris during the normal season before the break and the score was already 3-1 by half-time of the game.
Arsenal v Everton for James? Mikel Arteta and Carlo Ancelotti are set to do battle for James Rodriguez, the Daily Mail reports, with both Arsenal and Everton interested in signing the Real Madrid midfielder on loan. Rodriguez is struggling to hold down a starting place under Zinedine Zidane, and Ancelotti – who coach the Colombian at both Real and Bayern Munich – would like to bring the midfielder to Goodison Park.
Both sides have failed to reach the play-offs so it's time to start thinking of next season. The Colts at least have a better record than their opponents but will be thinking of times earlier in the season when they did have a chance of getting a wild card place. They had a good win last week, while the Jaguars are in poor form and look set to equal last season's 5-11 record. Go for the Colts to win this match.
If Hungary win their play-offs, they will be in the group, hosting two games. One big boost for the trio is that four of the tournament's six third-placed teams go into the last 16. This is a group of death," said Germany boss Joachim Low. The games in Munich will be football festivals. The expectations will be quite high. For our young team, this will be a huge challenge but also a big motivation.
Regulars said there might have been a few outside fans in attendance too but the crowd was about average. Maybe there are some fans of Premier League and EFL clubs who are kicking their heels and want to see some football but then others might be worried by the spread of the virus and not come out of their houses," said Dartford vice-chairman Dave Skinner.

Lille's defeat to Paris SG in the last home game was only their 3th defeat at home this season and only their first league defeat. Overall Lille have a 8-2-1 record at home in the league and with only 7 goals conceded they have the second best defense at home in the league.
The Premier League's suggestions of a 30 per cent wage cut or deferral strategy was discussed in a conference call with the Professional Footballers' Association and the League Managers Association on Saturday, but the PFA responded saying it would reduce tax revenue for the National Health Service. Writing in his column for The Times, the former Manchester United forward says he would happily take a pay cut, but that not all footballers are in the same position and are currently "easy targets".
Ancelotti: I have no idea about Zlatan's plans Carlo Ancelotti says he has no idea what Zlatan Ibrahimovic plans to do next after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the MLS season. He is a good friend of mine. I have trained a lot of fantastic players. I know he finishes his period in the United States, I don’t know what his idea is.
In 2011, the Scot returned to the club in a coaching role with the academy before working his way up to the first team where he has been part of the backroom staff under several managers. Osman, an old team-mate of Ferguson, says even though he does not expect the 47-year-old former striker to be given the job permanently, a good performance against Chelsea could give the Toffees hierarchy some breathing space as they consider their next move.
The Eagles could do with improving their home form next, but I think they might have to settle for a point this time. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Bobby's prediction: 2-1Bobby has analysed all the Premier League results so far in 2019-20 and used them as the basis of his predictions. He explained: "The most common draw result was 1-1 (13. So rather than trying to be individually smart about matches, once I've established a result of home win, draw or away win, I've gone for the average result frequency.
That is really depressing, and it shows just how much they have declined. United were booed off after their 2-0 home defeat by Burnley on Wednesday, a night that also featured protests against the club's American owners. While they remain fifth in the Premier League, they are six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and have lost three of their last four league games.
Ross, aware of no real attacking threat from his side, brought on Daryl Horgan for Joe Newell to accompany Boyle's introduction in Florian Kamberi's place. Then Mallan came on for Scott Allan. Yet their hosts just kept coming. With cross after cross failing to cleave an opening, Danny Mullen opted instead to fire in a long-range shot that ricocheted off a post. In a moment that seemed to sum up the evening for St Mirren, the ball then bounced in to the path of Jonathan Obika, who trundled it wide with the goal gaping.

Where’s the desire? Where’s the identity? The brand Wenger produced there has ebbed away. If the manager doesn't survive this, he will look back at this as the beginning of the end. It looked like [the players] were making the decisions. Confidence has ebbed away completely. No snap in their play, no real direction.
Richards joined Fiorentina in 2014 on a season-long loan for a fee of £3. At the time he left City, aged 26, he was the club's longest-serving playerDoing my research on FiorentinaMoving to Italy was exciting, but sad at the same time. I had never really wanted to leave City because they were my club and I loved them so much, they were like a family to me - but at the same time I wanted to play and I had to do what was right for my career.
Behind the front two it was a disciplined and well-organised display, with Mee and James Tarkowski superb at the heart of defence, married with a tenacious midfield display from Jack Cork and Ashley Westwood. Back-to-back wins mean Burnley move level on points with 10th-placed Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Everton and Newcastle - all five teams locked on 30 points. Man of the match - Ben Mee (Burnley) Alongside assisting Wood’s goal, Mee made the most clearances in the game (nine).
I never thought this was going to happen, but dreams do come true, so I’m very happy to be here and this is going to be a big and good challenge for me in my career. Asked what it would mean to win silverware this season, he added: “It's going to be a lifetime experience, it's going to be something I'm going to cherish all the years of my life because not only playing for Manchester United, but winning a trophy with them, is something different that's going to be in my memories all my life.
Inter, with the best away record in the division, are looking for their first win over Juventus in Turin since 2012. Heck, a first win over Juventus anywhere since 2016. Antonio Conte has assembled a brilliant squad worthy of a championship push, the only doubts over them being whether they have the mental strength to wrestle the title off Juventus.
Harry Winks, Tottenham HotspurGetty Images Nobody quite characterises this current Spurs side better than Winks. A midfielder of solid technique and temperament, he is rightly in the national team conversation and a worthy squad member of a top-four club. But would he be a starting player for any of the best teams in Europe? You won’t find many who would argue that.
The RFEF's competition committee, in accordance with the two clubs and the Basque regional government, has decided to postpone Sunday's match between Eibar and Real Sociedad," said a federation statement on Saturday. The poor air quality is a result of a fire in a landfill site in neighbouring Zaldibar.

It is to be expected that some teams will return from the hiatus rustier than others. If we were to pick the likeliest game to be low on goals, it would be between two teams that have struggled to score them all season. Bet on a low-scoring encounter.

So what does Bruce see in the player and why does he continue to lead the line for the Magpies?A number nine who plays outside the box The Brazilian was Bruce's first signing when he replaced Rafael Benitez, and the striker was handed the famous number nine shirt previously worn by club legends Jackie Milburn, Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. But the former Hoffenheim frontman - who scored just seven Bundesliga goals last season - has failed to live up to those before him, a winner against Tottenham back in August being his only English top-flight strike so far.
Saint-Maxim sent the away support into raptures after meeting Javier Manquillo's whipped cross with a towering header for his first Newcastle goal. And once the Magpies had broken through the Blades usually resolute defence, they set out to frustrate the hosts and succeeded. Sheffield United had their chances and the lion's share of possession, but it was Shelvey who doubled his side's lead with a quite extraordinary goal typical of a season wrestling with VAR's new rules.
