Cristiano Ronaldo who joined Manchester United from Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon have revealed how “Fatherly Figure” Alex Ferguson molded him into being one of the greatest players of his generation.

Ronaldo was brought to the Theatre of dreams by the legendary Scot, with the player recalling how he was pulled up by Alex Fergusen after making too much step-overs. The Portuguese have gone from then to become one of the greatest players of his generation.

'Of course, in the beginning of my career he was so important to me because I moved from Sporting to Manchester and had that Portuguese mentality – too many stepovers, decision making was not the best,' Ronaldo told DAZN. 'So he taught me how to do it. In the Premier League they don't fall over so easy, they are tough. 'As I've said many times, he taught me everything. He was like a father to me. He helped me a lot at Manchester United.'

Ronaldo spent six season with the Manchester united. While staying with the club, the Portuguese playmaker lifted the Premier League three times, FA Cup and UEFA Champions league.

Ronaldo despite departing Real Madrid for Juventus have continued to keep in touch with his former boss. Ronaldo recently wished the Scot well in his illness as well as visit when their paths cross.

With which leg will Morata score 30 goals with? He should knee down let me pray for him to get sense

Alvaro Morata have stated that he will score at least 30 goals for current club Chelsea, in the current season. Morata began his Chelsea career with an impressive 7 goals in 8 matches, but the Spaniard soon dropped in form in the coming year to net only twice.

Morata despite having a difficult spell with the London side last season, is optimistic about current league season with boss Maurizio Sarri. The Spaniard who recently opened his scoring account for the new league season in a 3-2 win against Arsenal, believes that lack of confidence and injury hampered his form in the previous season.

‘I’m very happy because it was three very important points against Arsenal,’ he said following Chelsea’s London derby win. ‘In the Premier League I think if you win your first five games you’re in the fight because here in every game you can lose or drop points.

‘The last year was very hard for me, not just with confidence. The injury [last season] was very bad for me and my head, but when the ball goes into the net everything changes. ‘Your mind isn’t blocked anymore and I hope now I can score a lot of goals.

‘For sure I want to score more than 30 goals, but I would prefer to score 15 or 20 and for us to win the Premier League or another big trophy. ‘I want to score many goals but the most important thing is the team.’

Just wondering if the express sports story is real, or it is just a cover up

Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut for the Old Lady last weekend on the road at Chievo. Though the Portuguese was not on the score-sheet, his overall stats in the game spoke for itself. The Portuguese who joined Juventus after ending his 9yr spell at the Spanish capital, failed to appear in the club’s official launching of their away kit. However his omission was explained by Express Sport.

According to Express sport, the simple reason for his omission from the club’s kit launch was that the Adidas company plans launching of products long before hand and the pictures of the kits might have been taken prior to his arrival. It understood that the photo-shoot might have been taken 6 months back.

Ronaldo who was pictured holding the jersey during his interview with club TV, already has a contract with Nike and this makes using him by Adidas difficult. Ronaldo is one of Nike’s top athlete and his sponsorship deals with the U.S Company from appearing alone in Adidas’ promotional shots.

At least three to five player must be with him, as in the case of Juve’s official website, for him to feature in any picture with any future Adidas kit release. The decision for Dybala, Cuadrado and Pjanic to figure so prominently is driven by the fact they are all Adidas athletes.Adidas can therefore utilise the Juventus trio as much as they want without facing any claims from rival manufacturers.

N’Golo Kante since the arrival of Italian boss Maurizio Sarri, have been deployed to a different role. The French international have been licenced to move further up in the middle of the park. This have seen him score Chelsea’s first league goal of the 2018/2019 football season against Hudderfield on Match day 1.

The Chelsea star featured with Teammate Jorginho in the recent game against Arsenal, with the Italian sitting deep to protect the back four. Pedro, Morata and Alonso all scored as Chelsea defeated the North London side.

While Chelsea did their bidding in overall, the former Leicester city midfield had enviable match stats. Kante had three shots at goal. Completed 92 percent of his passes, won three tackles and made complete dribbles in style.

Blues Legend Pat Nevin was full of praise for the Frenchman in his interview.

“The question will be asked by many Chelsea fans, is it really a good idea to have so many attacking players on the field and also asking our best defensive midfielder, N’Golo Kante, to play that much further up the field, especially when we come to face the very best sides?” Nevin told Chelsea FC’s website.

“Time will tell but as I have suggested already on this page, Maurizio Sarri is unlikely to stray from his stated style.

“Kante himself looked incredible in his new role, making runs behind the Arsenal defence that any centre-forward would be proud of. It does leave Jorginho more often than not as the deepest midfielder and his best talents are clearly creating from there rather than covering defensively.”

Mourinho caused his own problem. He should allow players play their right wing.

Manchester suffered a shock 3-2 defeat against Brighton & Hoves on Sunday in their second match of the season. The Red Devils went two goals down halfway in the first interval, Lukaku pulled one back but a wreck-less Eric Baily challenger restored Brighton’s two goal lead before the end of the first interval. Paul Pogba penalty proved to be merely a consolation.

The Manchester club finished second last season and 19 point adrift of their neighbors and eventual champions Manchester City. The Red Devils also missed out on an FA cup against Chelsea in the finals.

Mourinho have faced media onslaught since the end of the game with many criticizing his tactical approach as well as his player management method. The Portuguese seems to have lost the confidence of a vast majority of players in his former club Chelsea in 2015 before eventually been relieved of his duties.

Former Spurs and QPR manager Redknapp believes that the Portuguese is beginning to lose confidence of the dressing room. “United’s players no longer seem to be responding to their manager. Eight of this side appeared in the World Cup quarter-finals. Many of them will be thinking, ‘Why can’t we play Pep Guardiola’s brand of football?’” Redknapp told the Daily Mail.

Manchester United is yet to lift the Premier league since the departure of Alex Fergusen in 2013.

https://www.trendingfootballnews.com/no-arsenal-player-can-get-in-chelsea-boss-best-11-said-redknapp/

Alvaro Morata have reaffirmed his commitment to remain at Chelsea football club, while stating that he need pushed for a departure. Morata who bare scored 2 goals in the second half Chelsea’s 2017/2018 season was earlier linked with a move away from the London club with Spain and Italy as his likely destination.

The Spaniard after a long spell of drought in front goal recovered his scoring boots against Arsenal in the 3-2 victory last weekend.

The former Juventus and Real Madrid player is believed to be ready to improve under Maurizio Sarri. “There was never a thought for me to leave. For me, it's easy. I could have gone back to Spain or Italy, all the people believe in me there but I want to change all the things here,” Morata said. “I want to, not for all the haters, but for me and for Chelsea”. “I am looking forward to buying a house and I can't wait for the babies to grow up to put them into school,” Morata added. “I am very happy and it's just the beginning of the new season. Why would I not be happy? I want to change all the thinking from the people who say I'm not”. “It's the only reason I stay here, otherwise if Chelsea said you are not in our plans, I move”.

He continued: “The most important thing is the way we play. Last season it was direct balls and for me to protect the ball in the air is not my best quality. Now I can attack the space, I can play one touch and go in the area for the crosses. It's better for me”.

It is not by making comments, they should keep up the good work

Eden Hazard has aimed at a dig on Arsenal, after Marcos Alonso’s late strike secured Chelsea’s win in the London derby. The Belgium international came from the bench, to set up a master-class assist for Marcos Alonso late on in the game.

Maurizio Sarri continued his bright start to the Premier league season, while Unai Emery is yet to kick the ground running in his managerial era in the England top flight.

Hazard took to twitter to express his delight after the encounter. Eden Hazard said: "Hi guys its Eden Hazard at Stamford Bridge we are here just after the derby. You know London is Blue, so see you next week in Newcastle."

Maurizio Sarri in his post-match interview insist that Chelsea are not league contenders despite their 3-2 victory over Arsenal.

The Blues began the game on a high with 2 early goal lead from Pedro and Morata. Arsenal pulled the two goals back before the end of the first interval. Marcos Alonso stole it for the blues 9 minutes from time to ensure the Blues secured the first victory in 8 attempt. Maurizio Sarri said: “We are not title challengers, not in this moment. “We have to improve in the defensive phase and I’m not talking about only the defenders."

So Iwobi knows. He should work more on his self

Arsenal put a below par performance in their London derby against Chelsea on Saturday, despite coming from 2 goals down. The Gunners lost 3-2 to local rivals Chelsea after strings misses.

The game which had four goals in the first half, was eventually settled by full-back Marcos Alonso 9 minutes from time. The Blues lead early on the first half with Pedro and Morata, but Mikhitaryan and Iwobi brought the game to level terms before the break.

The Nigerian international admitted that his club defense were too unstable in the first interval. "We started shaky, I don’t know, maybe we didn’t know what to do," he said. "But we picked ourselves up and got going. Unfortunately we weren’t able to take all our chances."

Iwobi also reaffirmed their commitment to manager Unai Emery and his philosophy. The former Paris Saint German and Sevilla boss is yet to register a victory in the league despite his pre-season exploits. The Nigerian international also hinted at the Manger’s half-time talks stating: "We were on a high. The message was to keep it going, keep our head and don’t lose ourselves. We fought hard for him”. "We enjoy training, everyone is buying into his ideas. It all takes time, a new manager, a new system and the fans and players know that."

If they like, they should invest the money in the whole world, Man united will win

Michael Owen have dropped an insight, ahead of Manchester United league visit to Brighton & Hoves on Sunday. The former Liverpool and Manchester United forward, believes that Manchester United will defeat Brighton by a lone goal when they lurk horns on Sunday.

Michael Owen believes that the Red Devils have a lot of quality to outclass the Seagulls at Amex Stadium.

Manchester united began the new league season with a 2-1 victory over Leicester City last week Friday. Brighton on the other hand were humbled 2-0 by Watford at Vicarage road in their league opener.

Owen in an interview with BetVictor said: “Brighton v Manchester United all eyes will be on Paul Pogba at the Amex”. “Brighton have invested heavily in the summer, but they failed to have a single shot on target at Vicarage Road in their 2-0 defeat to Watford on Saturday”. “Chris Hughton will be looking for a positive reaction from his side when United visit the Amex at the weekend”. “A Paul Pogba-inspired United got the start they needed against Leicester last Friday and I feel they will again get a result on the south coast, although I don’t expect to see many goals. Brighton 0-1 Manchester United,” he said.

He should try and win the match with his Captain ooo

Maurizio Sarri have confirmed that Ceasar Azpilicueta will captain his Chelsea team, when the face Arsenal this weekend though no permanent selection have been decided.

The issue of the captaincy of the London club, have been in the media with Eden Hazard likely to start against the Gunners today. Club official captain remains Garry Cahill, after he took over from legend John Terry. However Cahill’s reduced game-time likely to reduce this season, attention have shifted to Vice-Captain Ceasar Azpilicueta and Eden Hazard. Reports emerged last month that Sarri who wants Hazard to remain at the Bridge is ready to tie him down with the leadership position.

Hazard was Belgium’s Captain in their last FIFA world cup appearance in Russia. The Belgium national team under his leadership attained third position in the competition. However Blue’s boss Maurizio Sarri, have continued to be quiet on whether the Belgian will take up the position at the club.

“But, as I said last week, for the moment the captain is Azpilicueta. But I want to know very well my players. In ten daysor a couple of weeks, I will be able to decide the final one”. When asked if Cahill could remain as captain, Sarri added: “I don't know. Maybe Cahill. But I'd like to know very well the players [first]”.

ban is smelling, NFF better be careful.

The World governing football body FIFA, have reportedly refused to honor invitation from Nigeria’s Sports minister Solomon Dalung. The global footballing body according to report, will only honour invitation concerning the installation and acceptance of Amaju Pinnick as the President of the Nigerian Football Federation.

The recent crises for the leadership position of the NF,F have lingered for a while with two factions laying claim to the position. The crises began after Supreme Court, the nation’s apex Court ruled in favor of Chris Giwa. The Federation international football association however recognized Amaju Pinnick as the President. The Buhari led federal government have shown commitment to FIFA by recently evacuating the Giwa Faction from the NFF glass house.

While the Government have sided with the World governing body over the matter, the Sports minister seems to have sided with the Giwa faction with recent action gearing at reconciling Chris Giwa and the World football governing body. It’s however noted that Giwa is currently placed on a 5-year ban dating from 10 January 2017 from taking part in any football related activity.

Those on Dalung’s proposed delegation to Zurich include; Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Youth and Sports Olusade Adesola, former NFA Chairmen, Ibrahim Galadima and Anthony Kodjo Williams, former NFF Secretary General Bolaji Ojo Oba, Amaju Pinnick, Mohammed Sanusi and Chris Giwa.

It will not be easy oooo, but teams are making serious plans. we go see shaa

Arsenal boss Unai Emery have stated that Petr Cech will keep his place in goal despite a poor service delivery in the 2-0 loss to Manchester City last weekend.

Cech himself have confirmed that he has been pushed to several levels of evolution in his footballing career because of his desire to perform and cope with the team’s approach of playing from the back. However, Unai Emery have confirmed that the tactic was not compulsory.

The former Czech international was mocked by Bernd Leno’s former employers Bayer Leverkusen after a miscued clearance. The Bundesliga club stated: “in case you were wondering how to play out of the back … we might know a guy”.

Cech in a sad mood responded that the Bundesliga outfit lacked “fair competition, professionalism and sportsmanship”.

Leverkusen despite the criticism praised the 36yr old for denying Sergio Aguero in the second interval of the game. The former Czech shot-stopper made a host of saves to reduce Manchester City’s margin of victory.

Unai Emery stated: “I am very happy with Cech's performance - he has experience, he has quality,” said Emery. “Also, with Leno. They are goalkeepers who are important for us. They have different qualities but for us, in the way we want to play, they can [both] play. For Saturday, the decision for me is easy. Petr can continue to start the match. I believe in him. If Bernd starts, I believe in him also.”

Ronaldo will kill you... Forgetting Ronaldo will be best for them

Casemiero have stated that Real Madrid need to forget about Ronaldo to achieve in the current season.

The Los Blancos lost the Uefa Super cup in extra time to local rivals Athletico Madrid after giving away a 2-1 lead within the 90 minutes interval of the game.

With Post-match match reaction and expert analysis all centered on how the club have become weaker with Ronaldo, Brazilian midfielder Casemiero have come in the defense of the club.

"Sure, we cannot cover things, Cristiano showed here that he has been the best in the world," Casemiro said. “But it is already past, we cannot keep thinking about him”. “We have to talk about the players we have. We want to make a stronger, more solid team, but Cristiano is already in the past”.

The Brazilian midfielder had positive remarks to make about the new manager Julen Lopetegui. "It's still the beginning of everything," he added. "Julen is doing a great job, trying to maintain the illusion, which is not easy.”

Ronaldo joined the Seria A champions Juventus from Real Madrid in a deal valued at £88 million pounds according toDaily Star last month. The Portuguese talisman have already opened his goal scoring account for the Old lady with a goal last weekend.

This is the best Sarri will do, to win Arsenal

Chelsea hosts Arsenal in Maurizio Sarri’s first home game of the Premier league. The Blues who began their account of the new league season with a 3-0 victory on the road to Huddersfield last weekend faces the Gunners in a traditional London derby game.

The Blues seems to be having poor run of form against their London rivals not because of the quality but lack of fire power especially in front of goal. Chelsea under Antonio Conte last season failed to grab a victory against the Gunners despite meeting 5 times. The last time Chelsea defeated Arsenal was in 2016.

The review of the Club’s last meeting with Arsenal have shown that Chelsea center forwards have struggled to find their form unlike previous times. Chelsea have lacked center forward in the mood of Didier Drogba to rise up to the occasion. Drogba during his days at the bridge made the headlines particularly when the two London teams lurk horns.

While Drogba seemed to be the spotlight of the last decade considering the London derby, Chelsea’s new center forward Alvaro Morata have taken the other way round. The Spaniard have struggled particularly against Arsenal as he is yet to score against the side despite playing more times against them than any team in the England top flight. The Spanish international have put up a below par performance against the North London club and have been touted by football analyst as the only set back separating Chelsea from defeating Arsenal on countless occasion.

Chelsea faces Arsenal this weekend with the intention of breaking their 7 games hoodoo. Sarri will no doubt need to make a big decision ahead of the crunch game. The decision becomes who to field in the center forward position when the two teams play. The previous meeting in the pre-season ending in a draw with Alvaro Morata missing from the spot. The Spaniard who has scored only 2 goals since the beginning of the year is obviously not the best choice for the position.

Sarri will need to turn to Olivier Giroud. The French international who was instrumental in Chelsea’s FA cup triumph last season remains the best berth. The World Cup winner have proven to be a player who rises up in big games with both collective and individual contributions to the team. Olivier Giroud also possesses huge aerial presence as well as ability to retain possession. The Frenchman despite his lack of pace remains the best option to lead the attacking line.

While Tammy Abraham provides youthful option for the Maurizio Sarri, Olivier Giroud’s experience and quality remains key if the Blues intend to win their London rivals in the 8th time of asking.

According to Nigerian News Agency, group representing retired and active footballers on Wednesday in Abuja beckoned on the Acting President to order the immediate withdrawal of Department State Service operatives from the premises of the Nigeria football federation.

The Group was led by Harrison Jalla former President of National association of Nigerian footballers as well as former Vice-President of the NFF Victor Baribote.

In the peaceful protest close to the gate leading to the secretariat, the group described the recent happening as the violation of the law.

 “Nigeria is a creation of law, DSS should obey the laws of the land’’ and “FG, sack DSS Director of Operations’’ were the statement written on their placard as they protested. Other placards bore inscriptions such as “Osinbajo, direct the DSS to follow rule of law, our laws are being disobeyed’’ and “Tell DSS to obey rule of law’’.

In his interview with the Media, Jalla stated that the presence of DSS in the venue was a threat to the Nigerian constitution.

 “There will be anarchy if by tomorrow (Thursday) they (DSS personnel) don’t leave here,’’ he said. “Nigeria is a sovereign nation, and it deserves a lot of respect. So, FIFA should be mindful of whatever directive it is giving.’’

Baribote responded that he was surprised that the DSS could be violating the laws of Nigeria that created it.

“It is shameful that a creation of law like the DSS is violating the law. It is supposed to comply with the order of the Supreme Court which is the highest court in Nigeria,” he said.
