February 20, 2024 Serie A Update: Osimhen Set To Collaborate With New Napoli Coach

Serie A Update: Osimhen Set To Collaborate With New Napoli Coach

Following the dismissal of Walter Mazzarri, Victor Osimhen is set to adapt to a new coach at Napoli, the reigning Serie A champions.

Mazzarri's departure has paved the way for Francesco Calzona, Slovakia's current coach, to assume the managerial position at the Partenopei. Calzona's tenure will extend until the culmination of the season, with hopes pinned on his ability to rejuvenate Napoli's performance for the remainder of the campaign.

Under Mazzarri's stewardship, Napoli endured a challenging run, securing only six victories in 17 matches across various competitions. Calzona, entrusted with leading both Napoli and Slovakia, will maintain his responsibilities with the national team as they gear up for the European Championship in the summer.

Manchester City 3-0 Young Boys: Erling Haaland Bags Double As Pep Guardiola’s Side Reach The Last 16 Of The Champions League

Manchester City advanced to the UEFA Champions League last 16 with a 3-0 home victory over Young Boys, thanks to Erling Haaland’s brace.

The Norwegian striker was a doubt coming into the game after being forced off early against Bournemouth the previous weekend, but he showed no signs of a problem as he calmly converted a penalty in the 23rd minute to open the score.

The hosts were in command throughout, and Phil Foden extended their lead on the stroke of half-time when he ran past his marker on the right before calmly stroking a low shot into the far corner.

Haaland added his second of the game just after the intermission with a 25-yard blast, bringing his season total to 15.

Young Boys’ agony was exacerbated moments later when they were reduced to ten men due to Sandro Lauper’s second yellow card.

Man City had chances to extend their lead, but they couldn’t convert as the game entered the last half-hour.

The result ensures that The Citizens will finish first in Group G with two games to spare if they avoid loss at home to RB Leipzig on Matchday 5.

On Sunday, Man City will travel to Chelsea in the Premier League. On Saturday, Young Boys will play Luzern in the Swiss Super League.

June 9, 2023 Alexander-Arnold Names Messi Best Opponent Ever

Alexander-Arnold Names Messi Best Opponent Ever

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed that Lionel Messi is the best opponent he has ever faced in his professional football career.

In an interview with Goal, Alexander-Arnold named Messi as his top contender when asked about it.

When questioned about his choice, the fullback simply stated, "Messi. I don't know; he is just the best." Given Messi's extraordinary achievements in the game, it is no surprise that Alexander-Arnold holds him in such high regard.

During Messi's time at Barcelona, Alexander-Arnold was part of the Liverpool team that suffered a 3-0 defeat at Camp Nou in the UEFA Champions League.

However, Liverpool later turned the tables and defeated Messi's team 4-0 at Anfield, with Alexander-Arnold's quick thinking leading to a crucial goal by Divock Origi.

November 26, 2019 UEFA CL: Brugge’s Emmanuel Expected To Start Galatasaray

UEFA CL: Brugge’s Emmanuel Expected To Start Galatasaray

Nigeria International Emmanuel Dennis is expected to return to Club Brugge’s starting XI against Galatasaray at the Türk Telekom Stadium in tonight’s UEFA Champions league.

The 22-year-old was a second-half substitute, coming in for compatriot David Okereke, in Club Brugge’s 2-0 win over KV Oostende in the Belgian Pro League last Friday.

Leicester City are being linked with a move for Dennis as a long term replacement for veteran forward and club legend Jamie Vardy.

Club Brugge make the trip to Turkey to take on Galatasaray knowing that they require three points to maintain their slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages.

Given the current Group A standings, Brugge need to beat Galatasaray to stand any chance of catching second-placed Real Madrid.

A defeat would mean Europa League football at best for the rest of the season, so this is effectively a mini-final for the Belgians in Istanbul.

The two sides have met three times in the Champions League.

Back in the 2002/03 group stages, Brugge drew 0-0 in Turkey and won 2-1 in Belgium. Their last meeting was in this year’s group stage, with a goalless draw in Bruges.

On the domestic front, Brugge sit six points clear at the top of the standings while Galatasaray’s 1-0 loss at home to Istanbul Basaksehir has left Fatih Terim’s side down in seventh place in Turkey’s top flight.
