Maurizio Sarri is the new manager of Lazio Roma, the replacement for Simone Inzaghi, whom last week signed a contract at Inter Milan

the 62 yr old was since last summer without a club after been sacked at Juventus, earlier he had been manager of Chelsea, Napoli

[Nicky91]

CL opponent for PSV in second qualifying round is Turkish side Galatasaray

first match will be played in Eindhoven on 20 or 21 July


Conference League opponent for Feyenoord in second qualifying round will be one of montenegrin side FK Decic or FK Drita, both are now in first qualifying round

[Nicky91]

Italy: Gennaro Gattuso after 22 days already resigned as manager of Fiorentina

manager and club didn't agree about transfer policies

the 43 yr old Gattuso was presented last month as replacement for Giuseppe Iachini, Gattuso himself came over from Napoli

[Nicky91]

Breaking News Netherlands: the Eredivisie & KeukenKampioenDivisie will go through as one organisation, majority of the teams agreed to the merge of the Eredivisie CV and Cooperatie Eerste Divisie (CED)

with one professional football organisation you got more chance to be heard in Zeist (KNVB's HQ) says Jan de Jong, director of the Eredivisie CV, to both the fans, commercial market, as well as politics


the Dutch football follows into footsteps of England, Germany, Spain, France where also multiple competitions are under one organisation

[Nicky91]

some drama going on at NAC Breda now

first director of football Ton Lokhoff quit due to other board members not being in same direction, mindset as he had for the club

and now the manager Maurice Steijn has resigned due to him having received death threats from several fans, and also a VIP (former footballer, NAC Icon) Pierre van Hooijdonk whom was upset his son didn't get selected for starting 11's that much


so they will undergo some internal renewals and hopefully they can sort this s**t out with the fans (if the death threats are indeed real, that is a no go and some should be banned from entering stadium for life i think)

[Nicky91]

first friendly match for PSV

and all new signings are in starting 11

line up: Drommel, Mwene, Ramalho, Boscagli, Max, Propper, Rosario, Vertessen, Bruma, Zahavi, Madueke

[Nicky91]

Dwight Lodeweges has resigned as assistent coach of dutch national team to make his return into the Eredivisie, as assistent coach of PEC Zwolle, to be Art Langeler's right hand man

[Nicky91]

Girondins de Bordeaux will play in the Ligue 1 next season after all

businessman Gerard Lopez has saved the club and paid off most of the debts, so he saved them from a forced relegation (which would've been first relegation in 30 years for the club)


also Angers FC whom also had financial trouble and faced forced relegation out of Ligue 1, will remain at highest level after another investor had saved them



back to Bordeaux, Lopez said ''it is a great day for everyone in Bordeaux, and now we move onto the sportive and financial project which was launched with a green light today''

[Nicky91]

Not bad spurs will play soon

yes definitely not bad



only i would want one more signing somehow, a winger




Ramalho in our defence is just amazing, definitely the leader we need in the back :D


Mwene is 100% better than Dumfries, and Dumfries already wasn't bad



only weak spot is Sangaré but i guess Van Ginkel and Propper cannot play together or at least maybe coach Schmidt wants one defending midfielder and one offensive midfielder

and all goals here in these highlights
7G66wbXLz68



Gotze is impressed by our fans, said he has never ever seen audiences like ours before, even in germany so passionate :clap1:

[Nicky91]

hope for yet another good season for Fortuna Sittard, hoping they survive another season


Isitan Gun really made them quite a decent team filled with lots of talent


players who i look forward to: Yigit Emre Celtik, Veron Parkes


but overall clever way of signing players, cheap and tactically good by first testing them



now they are currently busy with a french-algerian talented forward Baghdadi on a trial period first + they are also busy with a fan favourite Mickael Tirpan negotiating since he was previously on loan but fans want the club to sign him permanently quite soon

[Nicky91]

Dutch super cup (Johan Cruijff Schaal) tonight

Konig Mario Gotze :worship: back at his old superb form same as back at that world cup he won with die mannschaft

[Nicky91]

https://www.psv.nl/upload_mm/c/f/1/cid80199_header%20spelers.png

PSV had a historic evening in Amsterdam. There, after a strong 0-4 victory, the club won the Johan Cruyff Schaal. Captain Marco van Ginkel took the prize and the grin was still on his face for a long time after the game: "I came back for this, for prizes."

Enjoying Noni
PSV got an early lead in the Johan Cruijff ArenA. Noni Madueke was the man of the match with two fine goals. Van Ginkel can't give enough compliments to his teammate. "We started really well, with nice goals from Noni," he told ESPN's camera. "Winning 0-4 is just really good. Noni has started this season very well. He's growing up. It's enjoyable that he's playing with us."

New trophy in the trophy cabinet
Mario Götze can add another trophy to his already lavishly filled trophy cabinet. With a big smile, he gave the praise to his club: "It was a good game and winning a trophy is always fantastic. You never know what to expect against Ajax but we took every opportunity now." Last season it was not possible to win against the Amsterdammers, but now PSV convincingly got the job done. According to Götze, the team has grown considerably since last year: "We have new, good players. We worked out the coach's philosophy better. It's just going really well now."

Man of the Match Madueke
'Super Mario' also received plenty of positive words from his fellow players, including the man of the match: Noni Madueke. "He is a fantastic player Götze. It also makes me better to have him next to me. I can trust him to handle the ball well." The Englishman can also be proud of himself, after two fantastic goals: "This was one of my best games in a PSV shirt . Glad I was able to help so early in the game. I like to let the defense guess where I'm going to dribble and today that worked very well."

Ajax deserve to flop so badly this season, especially because i wanna see smug ten hag get sacked, and horseface Michael Reiziger :idc:

Fortuna - Twente

0-1 Ricky Van Wolfswinkel (36) (assist Dimitris Limnios)

1-1 Mats Seuntjens (61) (assist Toshio Lake)

2-1 Toshio Lake (81)



scores from me for Fortuna squad

GK Yanick van Osch 9.5

RB Lazaros Rota 10

CB Martin Angha 9.5

CB Roel Janssen 9.5

LB George Cox 10 (until 40th minute, with his injury, well at least he walked off the pitch, rather than with help, definitely one of our strongest in our defence)

CM Tesfaldet Tekie 9.0

CM Arianit Ferati 9.5

CAM Richie Musaba 9.0

LW Emil Hansson 7.0 (Flemming is hopefully not sold and back next week, he was suspended this match from previous season)

ST Mats Seuntjens 9.5

RW Samy Baghdadi 9.5

Subs

CM Deroy Duarte 8.5

ST Toshio Lake 10

RW Dany Verlinden N/A more to stall time in extra time of second half

he has to get a new dutch passport first :rolleyes: George Cox hasn't got this problem because he has been living in Netherlands before 31st December 2020, and Sambou played on loan in denmark at Randers until recently :idc:

must feel great for both teams these play offs, no real losers, just a big fight who wins right to be in the more important group stage

but both are assured of a group stage :love:



great for a Moldova some extra money again :clap2:

[Nicky91]

great and surprise 3-0 for Sheriff over Dinamo

although maybe Dinamo have thought they are better off in EL group stage, more chances to go bit further and more chance of winning points for croatian football in the ranking :think:

[Nicky91]

https://twitter.com/ChampionsLeague/status/1427948891249520640

tonight

[Nicky91]

oh Schmidt, you really have to keep putting that overrated sack of nothingness sangaré in starting 11, sangaré is just similar to a pile of cement bricks in water :laugh2: he brings the team down so much

our main weak spot at PSV


but good we at least made the one away goal even if it doesn't count anymore, now we just need 2 goals difference, not 3

[Nicky91]

Malmo looking good for next week with 2-0 lead, Ludogorets need a 3-0 or 3-1 since away goals do not count anymore so Malmo needs to keep the gap shortened with max of 1 goal difference, not 2 or 3


Young Boys - Ferencvaros 3-2 still very exciting this one, Ferencvaros need a 2-0 or 3-1 or 4-2 result + YB now missing Hefti for the return after that red card




Celtic nice 2-0 win over AZ, although AZ are fairly weak now without most of their talents anymore, they've really come so weak out of this transfer market (Stengs, Boadu gone, and likely Koopmeiners too if there really will be a big club interested for him, also in france some think)

[Nicky91]

today, tonight's schedule

Just take 1 hour for uk time spurs kick off at 730 uk time

[Nicky91]

oops Spurs, luckily return is at home, and only a 1-0 so either a 2-0 or 3-1

since 1-0 or 2-1 would be extra time, possible penalties



good one from Feyenoord 5-0 over Elfsborg, and good result Vitesse 3-3 away against Anderlecht


Union Berlin easy 0-4 away win over finnish KuPS


Gibraltar side Lincoln Red Imps great 1-1 away result, would be something if they are first ever gibraltar team in a group stage :eek:



Aberdeen well 1-0 loss isn't too bad either, same as Spurs as long as you recover nicely in the return game




europa league

Rangers narrow 1-0 win over tiny Alasjkert, although Alasjkert are already happy since they are already assured of 6 group stage matches, more than they had expected lol



HJK decent to keep it just at a 1-0 loss against Fenerbahce

no competition football for my team this weekend :fan:


lazy AZ wanting extra rest because of european football, what about PSV they still also do competition games besides CL matches, when PSV and AZ have same amount of rest time



oh well, more time for my Fortuna to get the squad more ready, to sign more good reserves material :D

thursday is the draw for the CL group stage


and friday are the draws for the EL group stage and the ECL group stage

[Nicky91]

most important match for PSV in years tonight


will they make the CL group stage or not?

[Nicky91]

oh well, not too disappointed on PSV not making the CL group stage, on one side yeah it is sad to miss out on 35 million, but through EL group stage more chances to win points for dutch football (on paper)

[Nicky91]

not gonna follow CL anymore, why should i, for stinking Ajax, no thank you


hope Ajax will get demolished in their 6 group matches, hope they get the toughest of draws EVER pls UEFA make that happen

[Nicky91]

so either 3 or 4 teams left to root for, for me

depending on Vitesse tomorrow


but Feyenoord after last weeks 5-0, confident they will advance to group stage


AZ well tbh even if they go out against Celtic, they still have ECL group stage


and PSV in EL hope for a relatively easy group, of course nothing is easy (still the 5th, 6th, 7th places of some bigger competitions either between them)

[Nicky91]

Blues legends Essien and Ivanović are being asked how impressed they were with their former club's performance in the competition last season, along with their prospects for this term.


Ivanovic: I was really impressed with how Chelsea won the trophy. After a long period of time, Chelsea deserved the trophy again.
.

[The Slim Reaper]

wrong thread

Sorry James :smug:

[Nicky91]

Ivanović, who had a spell with Zenit after departing Chelsea, scored the very first goal in the Saint Petersburg Stadium, where the 2022 UEFA Champions League final will be held.


Essien: I believe they [Chelsea] can do back-to-back wins for the club. It would be a very big achievement but they have a big squad, and with Lukaku back they are well prepared.

[Nicky91]

Goalkeeper of the season 2020/21: Edouard Mendy

UEFA deputy general secretary Giorgio Marchetti is now going through the procedure of the draw, along with welcoming UEFA Champions League new boys Sheriff.



yes good on this Moldovan team to have made this far to 6 high quality group matches at the highest european football level :clap1:

[Nicky91]

The teams will be selected from four seeding pots.

Pot 1 consists of holders Chelsea, UEFA Europa League winners Villarreal and the champions of the six highest-ranked nations who did not qualify via one of the 2020/21 titles; Pots 2 to 4 were determined by the club coefficient rankings.

No team will be drawn into a group along with a side from their own association.

The top two teams in each section advance to the round of 16, whilst those finishing third in each group transfer into the UEFA Europa League knockout stage, where they will face the UEFA Europa League group runners-up for spots in the last 16.

Group A: Man City, PSG, RB Leipzig, Club Bruges

Group A: Man City, PSG, RB Leipzig, Club Bruges

Group B: Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Porto, AC Milan

Group C: Sporting Lisbon, Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Besiktas

Group D Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Sheriff Tiraspol

Group E: Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Benfica, Dynamo Kyiv

Group F: Villarreal, Man Utd, Atalanta, Young Boys

Group G: Lille, Sevilla, FC Salzburg, Wolfsburg

Group H: Chelsea, Juventus, Zenit St Petersburg, Malmo


recapping these groups for me personally

Group A; goodbye Club Brugge :laugh: but all 3 of Man City, PSG and Leipzig are very strong, gonna be a tough one here

GroupB; poule of death yes, i'd say Atletico and Liverpool are frontrunners to survive the group, but Milan could be in contention for that 3rd place, i don't estimate Porto as invincible tbh

GroupC; Lucky Ajax lol, Dortmund might win the group but Ajax is certainly a contender for 2nd or 3rd place here, Besiktas by far the weakest link

GroupD; top teams like Inter Milan, Real Madrid coming to Moldova wow just wow, i mean Sheriff should enjoy their debut at highest level for sure but they won't have any real chances, i'd say Inter, Real for top two and Shakhtar to europa league

GroupE; ouch to imagine this is the group PSV could've been in thankfully they aren't, the Bayern v Barcelona games could be enjoyable to watch i think

GroupF; tricky one for Manchester United, i mean Villarreal the recent europa league winners, Atalanta a new rising little giant, and Young Boys a unknown swiss dark horse, on paper maybe not the strongest looking but i do think the United fans should not be overconfident at all about this draw either

GroupG; lovely group this one, Lille reigning french champions, Sevilla one i never underestimate after their many europa league/uefa cup wins, Salzburg and Wolfsburg are decent as well, another tricky one like F

GroupH; nice for Malmo, they got legendary teams like Juventus, Chelsea visiting them, Zenit well i like this russian team tbh, they got great tactics somehow, normally i'd say Juventus a obvious frontrunner but you never know, Chelsea as title holders should easily advance on paper either, but you don't know what Malmo can do from this underdog position, and Zenit are fierce especially at home

Group A; interesting one, most seem relatively small on paper, so we might get a surprise here, fun for variety we got teams from finland and armenia facing each other in a group stage rather than a qualifying round :fan:

Group B; good chances for Gent :eyes: and curious what more Flora can do now

Group C; AS Roma against 3 weaker by far, they are soooo a frontrunner in this league

Group D; decent draw for AZ, CFR Cluj is either hit or miss results wise so we'll have to wait and see what form they are in

Group E; ouch Feyenoord, i reckon Union Berlin is the toughest here, Slavia was quite bad in their EL playoff, Maccabi Haifa well they are okayish

Group F; Come On Red Imps, make Gibraltar even prouder and cause more upsets, seriously Copenhagen has a group win chance here

Group G; Tottenham has a decent draw, but of course i root for Vitesse with my dutch blood, NK Mura is the underdog here, and surprises can happen if other teams underestimate you

GroupH; Basel good draw, Qarabag or Kairat could be second one going through here i reckon

[Nicky91]

Group G

Ferencvaros

Group H

Dinamo Zagreb

Racing Genk

West Ham United

Rapid Wien

GroupA; Lyon and Rangers i reckon as top two but you never know, third place could go to Sparta Prague but maybe Brondby will surprise many

GroupB; normally speaking Monaco, Sociedad are strongest two, however weird things happen more than before in todays football, maybe PSV can win from either Monaco or Sociedad, but good chances for third place at least

GroupC; Napoli, Leicester should be frontrunners here, however you cannot say anything right now on paper speaking

GroupD; Olympiakos at home is a tough one for sure but i also find Frankfurt and Fenerbahce quite good, those as top 3 i think

GroupE; no comment, other than a nervewrecking group this one is

GroupF; Braga should be the favourite league wise, but Red Star is not bad as well, Midtjylland is weak as i saw against PSV in CL qualifyings

GroupG; Celtic has a tough draw here, Leverkusen is a good club, Betis is a nice middle tier of La Liga which on its own is amazing, Ferencvaros is lucky to have made it into a group stage at least, and they weren't bad at all in their CL playoff vs Young Boys i thought

GroupH; i never underestimate Dinamo Zagreb, their losses against Sheriff was pure tactics i feel to get into EL more chances to win points for croatian football cuz normally they are in great form, Genk are 50/50 either very good or just rubbish, West Ham should be favourite here in terms of league wise level but you never know, Rapid Wien i adore great club with lovely history and curious how they are looking like now

[Nicky91]

Fortuna Line up

Rienstra's eredivisie comeback i think, and Flemming instead of Hansson in terms of changes from last match vs Twente

as for left back position instead of Cox i think Ferati for now (but when Pinto has had week of training with the club behind him i think they can switch few things around, and when Tirpan joins a matter of time when i think)


Toshio Lake the matchwinner against Twente has signed a new contract, and also third goalkeeper (from own youth) Ruben van Kouwen signed his pro contract now

[Nicky91]

some changes to europa league and also the rules for conference league


1st place of each group in EL advance to round of 16, 2nd places advance to a inbetween round of EL vs third places from CL


3rd place of EL advances to inbetween round of conference league where they'll face no.2 places from conference league, 1st from conference league advance to round of 16

[Nicky91]

1-0 Baghdadi (Seuntjens) (23)

1-1 Kramer (Odgaard) (38)

Rienstra 10 already only cuz #OurCaptainisBack, played quite decently for someone who hasn't been training last few months, glad he got the green light from medical team


Lake 8.0 not a matchwinner now but alright he's still young no need to have huge expectations because of one game



RKC i also found pretty good, and for a neutral viewer this game was overall very entertaining, enjoyable



AND pre-match, we have him back, Mickael Tirpan :clap1: :clap1:

Big night for West Ham United. When was their last venture into Europe? I know they won a European trophy back in the mid sixties.

up against another team who was strong many years back, Rapid Wien

not anymore so much nowadays, more like mid-tier in austrian league (where you got mostly LASK, RB Salzburg, Sturm Graz up top)

[michael21]

Spurs will win 7-0

[Nicky91]

Spurs will win 7-0

sure


as long as they don't underestimate Mura too much


that club only exists in this name since 2012 btw out of ND Mura and its youth team how they merged

[MTVN]

Big night for West Ham United. When was their last venture into Europe? I know they won a European trophy back in the mid sixties.

We were in the Qualifiers a few years ago after coming 7th under Bilic, our first year in the new stadium and basically our first game was getting knocked out by the mighty Astra Giurgiu

FT: Spurs 5-1 Mura

Our big question has been answered tonight.

Yes, Spurs are better than Slovenia's fifth-best team.

Harry Kane is no good for Spurs anymore, they should've just accepted the 100 million and invested in some new forward

[Nicky91]

PEC Zwolle should be doable for PSV on paper, but since the competition has gotten so many weird results lately, wouldn't be surprised if we get a upset here


also Ajax hasn't won that easy away vs Heerenveen either, given before international break they lost their first match of season (and that was at home)



Fortuna Sittard - Cambuur i think Cambuur will edge it there slightly, maybe 1-2 or 2-3



the gelderland derby NEC - Vitesse, well can go either way, normally on paper Vitesse is the favourite but in rivalries you never know :laugh:

We're playing very well 2-0 up at Vienna, strange seeing football in an empty stadium again

Spurs meanwhile are 1-0 down to the team 5th place in the Slovenian league

They (Spurs) lost by a score of 2-1.

[Mystic Mock]

Oh Tottenham.:facepalm:

I keep saying this about Tottenham, but I hope that this is the lowest that they can go and the only way is up for them, because seriously at this point they're gonna be in the bottom half of the table if they keep playing like they're being managed by Aitor Karanka.

Hopefully Karanka does do well with the next team that he does manage in all seriousness (as long as it's nobody near us in the table) but back to Spurs, you would be forgiven for not thinking that only 2 or 3 years ago that this team finished in the top 4, now they'll be lucky to be top 8.

[bots]

"I did not like what happened tonight," said Conte. "I must be honest and tell you that after three-and-a-half weeks, I am starting to understand the situation.

"I am happy to stay here but at the same time I must be honest and tell you we need to work a lot to improve the quality of the squad. We are Tottenham and in this moment there is an important gap [to the top teams in England].

"I am happy to stay here but at the same time I must be honest and tell you we need to work a lot to improve the quality of the squad. We are Tottenham and in this moment there is an important gap [to the top teams in England].I admire his honesty.

Winning is about the culture of the club. If it ain't there then you're not gonna win anything. You can buy one of the greatest players that ever lived, like Manchester United did, and you can still go backwards if the winning mentality isn't there.

Nottingham Forest and Everton had their greatest success's as clubs when they had a big drinking culture in the club.

Brian Clough used to make sure the players had a few glasses of wine the night before a game, so they got a good night's sleep and took away the nervous tension. They won back to back European cups. Everton were one of the greatest clubs in Europe in the mid eighties. That team had a good drinking culture too.

Nowadays the teams are so divided by culture, language ect, they can't build any team spirit.

[bots]

"i'm happy to stay" translated means I made a huge mistake coming here and I will leave at the first opportunity :laugh:

[Nicky91]

Following the press release published by Tottenham at 9 p.m. this Wednesday, Stade Rennais FC would like to clarify the following facts. In a video conference at 7.45 p.m. between representatives of UEFA, Tottenham and SRFC, the Spurs director of football announced her intention not to play the UEFA Europa Conference League game. Thursday evening. Unilateral decision which has not been confirmed by UEFA in any way.

The Tottenham representative did not want to announce the number of her players affected by the Covid when the rule states that a match must be played as long as the team has 13 outfielders and a keeper.

She argued for a decision by the English authorities without advancing any official document. As the match was not officially canceled by UEFA, Stade Rennais FC upheld their decision to play.

Faced with this "London fog", the SRFC reserves the right to approach UEFA. This lack of fair play is all the more glaring as Tottenham had confirmed by email that the match would be held at the start of the afternoon before warning Rennes of their intention not to play just after their landing in London City.

Barcelona knocked out of the champions league at the group stage is the best news of the week :dance:

unsurprising given Koeman messed it up most of the games

[Nicky91]

Atalanta - Villarreal was postponed last night because of heavy snowfall, so unrelated to covid but snowy conditions were just awful

and things look better now, and the stadium has been getting cleaned all day long now

[Nicky91]

Group C of europa league is most exciting

Leicester best on paper with 8 points

Spartak and Napoli with 7 points

and Legia has 6 points

sooo Legia - Spartak anything can happen there

Napoli - Leicester, well a nailbiter that one, for any Leicester fans since they need the win



in case Legia wins, they go to 9 points

in case Napoli wins, 10 points


soo Leicester can still advance to quarter finals EL, play off EL or worst case scenario play off conference league

[Nicky91]

Stade Rennais are pissed at Spurs for being so reckless with all those covid cases

[Nicky91]

Spurs - Rennes won't be played, and Spurs have lost in a reglementary 0-3



now UEFA will find a fitting punishment for Spurs their lacklustreness for these major covid outbreaks how that could've been possible

[Nicky91]

Spurs - Rennes won't be played, and Spurs have lost in a reglementary 0-3



now UEFA will find a fitting punishment for Spurs their lacklustreness for these major covid outbreaks how that could've been possible

reaction from Vitesse at this news by UEFA


they are still awaiting what the draw will bring on Monday, for now they expect both Spurs and them will be in the draw


Vitesse remains in contact with UEFA day by day but it can take several days until UEFA's disciplinary committee makes a decision on what punishment there'll be for Spurs


a likely punishment of course is the reglementary 0-3 win for Rennes which would mean Vitesse finishes 2nd in the group and qualifies to the play off

Vitesse though thinks both them and spurs are in one ball at the draw, however according to strict UEFA guidelines is that all group matches MUST be played before the end of this year, despite Spurs their schedule being filled up completely


Spurs had requested the match vs Rennes to be played on December 15 which would mean contacting the FA in postponing the premier league match vs Leicester City, the fear exists that the current covid problems aren't over by then for Spurs


the conference league play off matches are scheduled for 17 and 24 february in a inbetween round vs the no.3 from europa league

huge financial injections for Spanish football


Spanish football has had a great day financially. On Monday, it was first announced that Investment Fund CVC, in exchange for a 10% stake in La Liga, had made a capital injection of almost two billion euros and later almost 5 billion euros for sold TV rights was added.

That last deal, which concerns the domestic broadcasting rights, made La Liga with Movistar and streaming service DAZN and has a term of five years.

With the agreement with CVC, not all clubs were equally pleased. 37 of the 42 clubs from the top two leagues voted in favour, but Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Club as well as the Spanish Football Association were against and are not bound by the agreement.

Of that money, from which only the insending clubs benefit, 70% should be used for infrastructure, innovation, technology and marketing. The remainder can be used to pay off debts (15%) and buy players (15%). Partly due to the corona crisis, many Spanish clubs are struggling with substantial debts.
