Xavi believes Neymar “has to mature” if he’s to reach the same level as Lionel Messi.

The former Barcelona midfielder was asked to evaluate the merits of his two ex-team-mates and, although he remains a fan of Neymar, thinks Messi is a step ahead at the current time.

Chatting with Super Deportivo de Villa Trinidad, Xavi said of Messi and Neymar: “They’re totally different. I see Leo with great footballing maturity. He does everything well. Neymar is a person who has to mature, however, he seems like a player with the monumental capacity to make a difference.

“Although he could improve, he’s among the top players in the world.”

Britain’s Anthony Joshua retained his International Boxing Federation, World Boxing Association and World Boxing Organisation heavyweight titles with a seventh-round stoppage of Alexander Povetkin at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

“First and foremost Wembley, thank you a lot,” says Joshua. “Povetkin is a really tough challenger. He proved that with good left hooks, counter punches. I realised he was strong in the head however weak to the body. Every jab slowed him down. These shorter guys are very strong coming through the middle, however, tonight’s out the way.”

Cristiano spoke to Sky Sports and mentioned “that is the way life is, generally we can’t control out anxiety” after failing to score with Juventus in three games.



At the fourth time of asking, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first and second goals in a Juventus shirt against Sassuolo. After the meeting, the former Madrid player told Sky Sports that “I’m very happy, the game was very close. Sassuolo played well but we deserved the win, we had a number of possibilities. I really wanted to score my first goals.”

There was so much made of Ronaldo’s lack of goals in black and white and the striker felt it too. “Football is like that, what counts is to do well and for the team to win. I was a bit anxious with everything that occurred after leaving Real Madrid to come here, but that’s the way life is.”

Told by his parents he was wasting his time, Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane proved them wrong.

Liverpool star Sadio Mane revealed his parents told him his pursuit of a football profession was a “waste of time”, right up until he signed his first contract.

Sadio Mane, 26, has developed into one of the key parts of a dangerous Liverpool assault, alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.

However the Senegal international stated his mother and father never believed a career in soccer was a chance, urging him to instead attempt to become a teacher.

“I was born in a village the place there had never been a footballer who’d made it in the major championships,” Mane informed Bleacher Report.

“I remember that when I was little, my mother and father felt that I should study to become a teacher. They thought soccer was a waste of time and I’d never succeed at it.

“I always said: ‘This is the only job that will allow me to help you. And I think I have an opportunity to become a footballer.’

MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho has told Paul Pogba he can leave Old Trafford - all he has to do is ask for a transfer.

Mourinho and Pogba had numerous bust-ups last season, with the United boss benching his £89m midfielder after a poor run of form.

However, Pogba had other ideas, hinting at unrest in the Old Trafford dressing room.
He said: “There are things I can say and there are things that I cannot say, otherwise I will get fine.”
Mourinho was said to be livid at the comments after extending an olive branch to the midfielder and he believes Pogba threw the goodwill back in his face, in line with

Wolves and Nigeria goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has announced his retirement from football.
Ikeme hangs up gloves on medical advice

The 32-year-old was diagnosed with leukemia in July 2017 but confirmed last month he is in remission.

Following advice from medical experts, Ikeme has now decided to end his playing career.

Ikeme joined Wolves in 2000 as a 14-year-old and made 274 domestic career appearances in all competitions, 200 of which came for the Molineux club.

“Thank you for the support over the years,” Ikeme wrote on Twitter. “My last day as a footballer. But one I am happy and grateful for!!!

“Thanks to everyone to do with Wolves and everyone in football I have met.”



Speaking to the club’s official website, he went on to say: “I spoke with the doctor and he suggested I should retire, because of the toll the treatment has taken on my body. He thinks it’s what is best for me and I can’t really risk trying to come back, my health is the priority.

Spanish legend Andres Iniesta took part in his first training session with his new team as he took to the field with Vissel Kobe and could make his debut on Sunday.

The former Barcelona man took part in a relaxed warm-up session on Friday and later was involved in a round of passing exercises with his new teammates.

They welcomed him a round of applause as he took to the field, something which was witnessed in the first part of the session which was open to the media.

Iniesta is expected to be included in the squad for Sunday’s game against Shonan Bellmare by coach Takayuki Yoshida.

“I feel physically good and I think there is a chance of playing in Sunday’s game,” said Iniesta to the Japanese media when asked about his thoughts on making his debut.

Iniesta was presented by his new club on May 24 and after participating in the World Cup in Russia with Spain, he arrived in Asia on Wednesday to join his new club, who have been owned by businessman Hiroshi Mikitani since 2004, manager of Japanese giants Rakuten.

“I want to play as soon as possible,” were Iniesta’s words two days ago upon his arrival in Osaka, where over 300 fans awaited him.

Michael Carrick was United’s previous club captain

José Mourinho had an array of options to choose from when selecting his new club captain, with many fans hoping Paul Pogba would be awarded the armband after the midfielder displayed his leadership skills in the World Cup for France.

But Pogba may have to wait a while longer, José Mourinho has confirmed like Antonio Valencia will be Manchester United’s new club captain, after Michael Carrick announced his retirement from the game at the end of last season.

José Mourinho confirmed the news after United’s pre-season friendly against Club America that ended 1-1.

Olivier Giroud takes home not only a winning medal but in addition the accolade of being a striker who has played 9 hours of World Cup football and failing to register a single shot on target.

This isn’t a criticism of Olivier Giroud, he has enjoyed a formidable tournament and has laboured tirelessly throughout, creating space and opportunities for his teammates.

Above all, there’s just something terribly funny about a striker winning the World Cup without a shot on target. Bravo, Olivier Giroud

Although the World Cup presents players with a chance to boost their market value, some of the main characters in the tournament haven’t managed to meet expectations.

For every Ante Rebic and Benjamin Pavard success story, there are cases such as David De Gea, Thomas Muller, Gabriel Jesus and Robert Lewandowski, who didn’t reach their full potential.

With two games remaining, there are still players who have the opportunity to shine and increase their market value in the ongoing transfer window.
Increased value

Benjamin Pavard

He has been a key player for France so far in the tournament and Bayern Munich seem eager to sign him from Stuttgart.

Juan Fernando Quintero

In James Rodriguez’s absence – due to injury – Quintero hit the ground running and produced quality performances with Colombia.

Lucas Torreira

His World Cup displays have earned him a transfer to Arsenal, as Unai Emery sought to finalise the deal before the end of the tournament.

Denis Cheryshev

Although he wasn’t a starter for Russia’s debut at the World Cup, Cheryshev was the team’s best player, having scored four goals in five games.

Other players such as Aleksandr Golovin, Hirving Lozano, Xherdan Shaqiri, Harry Maguire, Kieran Trippier, Ahmed Musa, Jo Hyeon-woo and M’Baye Niang, have also seen their market value rise with their performances.
Decreased value

David De Gea

The Manchester United goalkeeper was a shadow of himself, as he managed just a single save in four games for Spain.

Thomas Muller

Germany didn’t qualify from the group stage and Muller mirrored his team’s underwhelming performance in the tournament.

Gabriel Jesus

He arrived in Russia as a Premier League winner and didn’t find the back of the net in any of Brazil’s games.

Robert Lewandowski

Although he was the top scorer in the qualifying round, the Bayern Munich striker didn’t score in any of his team’s three games.

According to the 'Daily Mail', Barcelona are hoping to make a revised offer for Chelsea man Willian. Chelsea rejected the initial £50million offer.
Last week Chelsea reportedly rejected a £50million offer by Barcelona for Brazilian Willian.

However, Ernesto Valverde will be returning with a better offer as he looks to add new talent to his squad for the coming season.
The offer has come after the departure of Andres Iniesta, and the club are looking for a player like Willian who is able to link up with Coutinho up top.
