Speaking to the media in the wake of Marseille’s home defeat to Nice last night, Mattéo Guendouzi reflected on a match he believes his team deserved at least a draw from, all the while looking ahead to OM’s reception of Paris Saint-Germain in this week’s cup action. The midfielder explains that Les Aiglons were “more clinical” in converting their chances in the 3-1 victory, which ended his side’s unbeaten run in the league since October. “We’ll keep going and work hard to be ready on Wednesday.” The former Arsenal man also denied that the prospect of Wednesday’s Classique clash was at the back of his and his teammates’ minds during…

Erik ten Hag thinks Pep Guardiola’s claim that “finally Man Utd are coming back” is a bit premature after their 1-0 win over West Ham. The Red Devils have been largely on the up this season after losing their two opening games under Ten Hag to Brighton and Brentford. After their narrow win over West Ham they are now eight unbeaten in all competitions and before Sunday’s match Guardiola claimed Man Utd – who have struggled to get close to winning a title since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013 – are “coming back”. Speaking on Friday, the Man City boss said: “I have the feeling United are coming back,…

Click:赴日招聘 Brighton defender Adam Webster has reportedly been included in Gareth Southgate’s 55-man World Cup squad, joining teammates Danny Welbeck and Lewis Dunk. Webster joined the Seagulls from Bristol City for £20million in 2019. He has been one of the most consistent Premier League defenders since moving to the south coast. The 27-year-old has never been called up for England despite his terrific form in defence alongside his captain Dunk. Dunk and Webster have both played every single minute for Albion in the top flight this term. The latter has five caps for England under-21s, whereas Dunk has one senior appearance, which came against the USA in a friendly four…

Man Utd will have to play in the Europa League knockout round play-offs after Real Sociedad edged them out by a single goal to secure top spot in Group E. Both sides were already assured of progress from Group E ahead of the San Sebastian showdown, but September’s shock Old Trafford defeat to the LaLiga side meant United travelled to Spain in second spot. Garnacho’s superb goal got the Red Devils off to a dream start as they sought to usurp the hosts, but they struggled in the second half as Sociedad held tight for a 1-0 loss that means they top the group on goal difference. Erik ten Hag’s…

“Baron Corbin is obviously a character in the role of abusing his power and putting the good guys in bad situations and taking advantage of it. I think coming in as GM, it would be a fresh start considering I would be a good guy in many ways. Woken Matt Hardy in being the character he is, and how over the top he is, I think he would be very entertaining in a General Manager role. I could put guys in unique situations or matches. My interactions with each and every talent would be so unique. I think the funnest thing between Broken Matt Hardy and Woken Matt Hardy was…

AFTER MUNSTER’S FIRST Champions Cup campaign ended with a 33-10 defeat to Saracens last weekend, former out-half Ronan O’Gara has called for critics of the province to give Anthony Foley time to find solutions. O’Gara is a former team-mate of Foley’s and the Racing Metro Coach told 2FM’s Game On that he fully expects the 41-year old to get it right. “Everybody will have their opinion on it. What’s important to realise – and Anthony would be the first to admit it because it’s his first year coaching I think it doesn’t matter – he’s the boss of Munster and he knows them inside out. “He got criticism as a player, he gets criticism…

SEAN O’BRIEN HAS been included in the Ireland Wolfhounds team to face the England Saxons at Musgrave Park tomorrow evening [KO 19.45]. The Leinster back row makes his return from long-term shoulder injury problems at openside flanker, having last played in September’s Guinness Pro12 clash against Glasgow Warriors. Felix Jones captains Dan McFarland’s side from fullback and is joined in the back three by Fergus McFadden and Luke Fitzgerald. Keith Earls continues his recovery from knee injury at 13, outside the veteran Gordon D’Arcy. Ian Madigan gets a chance to reacquaint himself with the out-half position just over a week before the Six Nations opener against Italy on 7 February,…

WALES CAPTAIN SAM Warburton just couldn’t bring himself to play down the significance of tonight’s Six Nations curtain raiser (KO 20.05). Source: James Crombie/INPHO England cross the Severn to open up the 2015 tournament in Cardiff with a great big bang. The Millennium Stadium under lights is a daunting prospect at any time. But when the sides are due to meet in the upcoming World Cup and Wales still have some bloodlust left over from the 2013 trouncing dished out to their nearest and dearest, then England have reasons to be fearful. Stuart Lancaster’s men did manage to see off Wales in Twickenham last time out. That, you sense, has…

CONNACHT’S APPROACH HAS always focused on the collective rather than the individual, and despite the emergence of an international star like Robbie Henshaw, that hasn’t changed. Before last weekend’s win over the Dragons, head coach Pat Lam stressed the importance of teamwork, pointing out that his side are ‘Joe Average’ when they play as individuals — as they did, according to Lam, seven days earlier in a defeat to the Scarlets. The Six Nations period is always a tricky one at club level, as teams aim to emerge in the best possible shape ahead of the return of their international contingent in its aftermath. Although they went through a difficult…
