Barcelona's Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal says he is not happy because of his lack of playing time at his new club.

Vidal joined from Bayern Munich this summer but has had just two starts for the Catalans - and been substituted both times.

"How can I be happy if I don't play, and me of all people?" Vidal told reporters after joining up with his national team, on Tuesday.

"I am somebody who has always fought, been at the best teams in the world, won everything and who wants to continue winning at Barcelona," Vidal said. Place bet on tonight's games on NaijaBet

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho wishes that instead of chanting his name, fans would change their tune and sing about the club.

It was looking like the curtain was about to close on Mourinho’s tenure at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon after Newcastle United went 2-0 ahead in the first 10 minutes.

That looked even more likely when you consider the reported rumour earlier on Saturday morning that the beleaguered Portuguese tactician would be shown the door regardless of what transpired against the Magpies that evening.

However, in a throwback to the Sir Alex Ferguson era, the Red Devils mounted a spirited comeback in the second half, winning the match 3-2 after strikes from Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and a winning header from Alexis Sanchez.

Even when Mourinho’s side went 2-0 down, the majority of United fans huddled inside Old Trafford didn’t lose their singing voices, and after the game, they were chanting Mourinho’s name in unison, but Mourinho would rather they didn’t.

“I’m happy for the fans and for the players,” he said. LIVE Bet are available on [url]NaijaBet.COM[/url] 24/7

Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici said on Monday it was not easy to replace a player of the calibre of Cristiano Ronaldo as he also dismissed a return to Italy for Manchester United's French World Cup winner Paul Pogba.

Ronaldo, 33, joined Juventus from Real Madrid last summer for €100 million.

The Spanish club has lost three and drawn one of their last four matches and are currently fourth in La Liga.

"Ronaldo is probably the best player in the history of the game so he isn't easy to replace," Paratici told journalists at the Manlio Scopigno ceremony at Rieti in central Italy after receiving a "Manager of the Year" award. Place bet on today's games on [url]NaijaBet.Com[/url]

Teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe insisted that he "should have scored more" despite netting four times in a magnificent individual display as Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Lyon on Sunday.

The 19-year-old scored four goals in the space of 13 second-half minutes as a 5-0 victory saw PSG set a new French top-flight record of nine straight wins to start a season.

But Mbappe did miss several earlier chances as he was thrice denied when one-on-one with Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes and struck the post before grabbing his first goal just after the hour mark.

"I missed opportunities, I should have scored more," he told Canal+.

Pep Guardiola took responsibility for placing his trust in Riyad Mahrez as the Algerian's missed penalty five minutes from time cost Manchester City victory in a disappointing 0-0 draw at Liverpool on Sunday.

The draw preserved both sides' unbeaten Premier League records, but they failed to lay down an early marker in the title race as Chelsea moved into a three-way tie at the top on 20 points after eight games.

"I see him every day in the training sessions, I see him everyday practice penalties and it gave me a lot of confidence," said Guardiola after he instructed Gabriel Jesus, who earlier replaced regular penalty taker Sergio Aguero, to hand the ball to Mahrez.

However, Mahrez's miserable record from the spot continued as City's club record £60-million ($79 million) signing missed for the fourth time in his last six penalties by blasting well over the bar. Place bet on today's games on [url]NaijaBet.COM[/url]

Quote me you catch fire.

O Lord set my life on fire for you,

:-XChelsea have won their first four Premier League games while Cardiff have two points from four games and are only a point above the bottom three and Cardiff have lost 4-1 on their last two trips to Stamford Bridge.

Team News

Chelsea- Cesc Fabregas is still on the mend, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is reportedly sidelined for a few weeks with a foot injury. Few changes are expected from the home side.

Cardiff- Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Aron Gunnarsson are sidelined, while Josh Murphy remains a doubt.

Kenneth Zohore will hope to return to the starting XI at the expense of Bobby Reid.

Danny Ward scored on his first start of the season and will hope to be rewarded with another go from the off here.

Cristiano Ronaldo faces Sassuolo on Sunday still chasing his maiden competitive goal for Italian champions Juventus before he returns to Spain for the first time in the Champions League.

Bolstered by five-time winner Ronaldo, Juventus begin their quest for the Champions League title which has eluded them since 1996 in Valencia next Wednesday.

Despite a seventh straight Serie A title last season the Turin giants plunged into the red with a €19.2-million loss as a result of their European quarterfinal exit.

Serie A returns after a two-week international break with former Real Madrid player Ronaldo having skipped Portugal duty to focus on his new club, just as his teammate, Croatia's World Cup runner-up Mario Mandzukic, did. Bet Now on NaijaBet

During the break the 33-year-old was pictured relaxing on board his yacht off St Tropez on the French Riveria.

"Vitamin D," wrote the five-time Ballon d'Or winner under a photo of him lounging on the deck of his yacht.

"As my teammates say, back to reality, work done," he later posted. "Feeling good!! Let's go."

Coach Massimiliano Allegri says he is not concerned that Ronaldo has failed to find the net despite 23 shots at goal in three games.

Tottenham's 100% start to the season came to an abrupt end before the international break as they fell to a 2-1 loss at Watford. They won this fixture 4-1 last season, but this won't be a mere walk in the park for the north London side.

Along with Watford and Chelsea, Liverpool have won four of four and top the Premier League coming into their trip to Wembley. Since their 4-1 loss to Spurs at Wembley last term, the Reds have conceded just 23 goals in 33 league matches, fewer than any other top-flight side over that same period.

This is a tough one to call, but promises to be an exciting match between two of the Premier League's most entertaining teams. Various betting options are available on site, Bet now [url]NaijaBet.COM[/url]

Arsenal manager Unai Emery is hoping a break from international football can help Mesut Ozil recover his best form at club level for the Gunners.

Ozil, capped 92 times, walked away from the Germany set-up in the wake of their disastrous World Cup campaign, complaining of facing racism and being made a scapegoat for the team's failure.

Yet, despite being handed a hugely lucrative new contract until 2021 in January, he has also struggled to make an impact since Emery took over at Arsenal in June. Weekend games are available on site, Bet now [url]NaijaBet.com[/url]

Naomi Osaka said Serena Williams's row with the umpire during the US Open final had not altered her feelings about winning a Grand Slam largely because she had no idea how she was supposed to react, the Japanese said on Thursday.

Osaka's breakthrough triumph in New York was overshadowed by an explosive row between her opponent Williams and umpire Carlos Ramos which resulted in the 23-times Grand Slam champion being docked a game and fined $17 000.
