Football: Ajax stun Ronaldo's Juventus to reach Champions League semis

TURIN, ITALY (AFP) - Ajax stunned Juventus to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 1997 as Matthijs de Ligt's thumping second-half header secured a 2-1 second-leg victory in the last eight in Turin on Tuesday (April 16).
Cristiano Ronaldo, bidding for his sixth Champions League title, scored a 28th-minute header to put Juve ahead after a 1-1 first-leg draw, but Donny van de Beek levelled for Ajax before half-time.
Teenage centre-back De Ligt struck midway through the second period, though, to seal a 3-2 aggregate win and set up a last-four clash with either Manchester City or Tottenham.
The young Dutch side had already eliminated three-time defending champions Real Madrid en route to the quarters, overturning a 2-1 home defeat against the Spanish side with a memorable 4-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Juventus had been looking to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the third time in the past five seasons.
But Ronaldo, who scored an away goal last week with a diving header in Amsterdam, was Juve's only weapon against the impressive Dutch side.
The 34-year-old was signed for 100 million euros (S$153 million) last summer from Real Madrid in a bid to win the European trophy for the first time since 1996, when they beat Ajax in the final.
Massimiliano Allegri had been forced to reshuffle his side because of injuries, with Paulo Dybala returning in place of the injured Mario Mandzukic, while captain Giorgio Chiellini was also sidelined.
Ajax's defence took a hit when Noussair Mazraoui, who had replaced the suspended Nicolas Tagliafico, limped off on 11 minutes with an ankle injury, with Daley Sinkgraven coming on.
Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana dived to keep out a scorching Dybala half-volley in the 20th minute.

Ronaldo leaves Onana no chance


But Ronaldo latched onto a Miralem Pjanic corner with a downward header that left Onana without no chance.
It was the Portugal star's 126th Champions League goal and sixth of this campaign, having now scored in his past six European games against Ajax, netting nine goals in total.
But Van de Beek soon silenced the cheers of the home crowd when he controlled a wayward Hakim Ziyech shot six minutes later, rolling the ball past Szczesny to cancel out Juventus' away goal and make it 2-2 on aggregate.
Teenage striker Moise Kean replaced Dybala after the break, but it was the Dutch who turned on the style, with only Szczesny's reflexes keeping Juventus in the tie.
The Polish keeper denied Ziyech from close range with one hand, and minutes later tipped Van de Beek's curling effort over the bar.
The Juventus back-line struggled with the pace of the Dutch team with Pjanic doing well to deny Ziyech a tap-in.
But Erik ten Hag's side's incessant pressure paid off with 19-year-old skipper De Ligt towering above Alex Sandro and Daniele Rugani to head home Lasse Schone's corner on 67 minutes.
Ziyech looked as if he had fired a third past Szczesny, but his goal was ruled offside after a VAR check.
And the Dutch visitors held on, with Ronaldo unable to make a difference after his incredible hat-trick had pulled Juventus into the quarter-finals in the last-16 win over Atletico Madrid.
Four-time winners Ajax won their third consecutive title in 1973 at the expense of Juventus, and last lifted the trophy in 1995, with their last semi-final appearances ending in defeat by Juve 22 years ago.

Coventry City: EFL vote cancelled as League One side claim ‘groundshare agreement in place’

Coventry City: EFL vote cancelled as League One side claim ‘groundshare agreement in place’

Coventry say an extraordinary general meeting to discuss their future has been cancelled after reaching a groundshare agreement.


The EFL had given Coventry until May 29 to reveal where they will be playing their home games next season, with the club still hoping to agree a deal with Gallagher Premiership side Wasps to extend their stay at the Ricoh Arena.


In a statement, Coventry said: “This groundshare is in place to make sure the club has somewhere to play in the scenario of a deal to play at the Ricoh Arena not being agreed.




Coventry may not be playing at the Ricoh Arena next season as first thought

Coventry may not be playing at the Ricoh Arena next season as first thought


“We can confirm that talks with the aim to achieve a deal to play at the Ricoh Arena are continuing between Coventry City Football Club, its owners SISU and Wasps Holdings Limited.


“Our focus and desire is to agree a deal at the Ricoh Arena – this is everyone’s preferred option, and the right option for Coventry City. While the back-up of a groundshare exists to ensure the future of the football club continues, another groundshare is not something anyone wants to happen.


“Details of the agreed groundshare and of our ongoing discussions with Wasps Holdings Limited remain confidential, due to mutually signed confidentiality agreements.


“We understand the frustration that fans are feeling, and have expressed to us, at not knowing where their club will be playing next season, not being able to plan for next season and supporting Mark Robins and the team, and the time that this is taking.











“We will provide a further update to supporters as soon as we are able to.”


The Football League has told Coventry they do not want them to be based any further than six miles from their current home.


Two options have been mooted, groundshares with either Birmingham, whose St Andrew’s stadium lies outside the six-mile radius, or Coventry Rugby’s Butts Park, which does not.

Mohamed Salah tackle: Liverpool forward lucky to escape red card for challenge on Danilo in Champions League, says Alan Brazil

Mohamed Salah tackle: Liverpool forward lucky to escape red card for challenge on Danilo in Champions League, says Alan Brazil

Alan Brazil believes Mohamed Salah was fortunate to escape a red card following his ‘assassin-like’ tackle on Porto’s Danilo.


During the closing stages of Liverpool’s 2-0 victory on Tuesday night, the Egyptian sent his studs into the defender’s shin but didn’t receive a booking – even after the incident was reviewed by the video assistant referee.





Salah was not even booked for the challenge

Salah was not even booked for the challenge



It means the forward avoids a ban for the second-leg, which along with their two-goal advantage, puts Liverpool firmly in control of the tie.


â€Å“Salah was very, very fortunate,” Brazil said. â€Å“That’s a red card in today’s game.


â€Å“You know when you go ‘ooh’ – you, know, he was just very assassin-like”















And Brazil, speaking on his Sports Breakfast show, suggests the incident was another example of Liverpool favouritism among referees.


He added: â€Å“If you go back through time, Liverpool, at Anfield, have had some incredible decisions.


â€Å“That’s not to say they’re lucky, some of the teams they’ve had have just been magnificent.





â€Å“But the crowd do put referees under pressure.”


It would take a brave person to bet against Liverpool after first-half goals from Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino ensured they take a two-goal advantage to Portugal.


The Reds will be watching tonight̢۪s clash between Manchester United and Barcelona with eager eyes, seeing as the winner will face Liverpool or Porto in the semi-finals.

Football: Home United part ways with Saswadimata Dasuki, appoint Noh Rahman as interim head coach

SINGAPORE - After barely a quarter of the Singapore Premier League (SPL) season, Home United are the first team to wield the axe as they announced the mutual termination of head coach Saswadimata Dasuki's contract on Friday (April 19).
In a media statement, the Protectors revealed that assistant coach Noh Rahman will take over on an interim basis as the club are in the process of appointing a new head coach.
They added: "Home United Football Club and head coach Saswadimata Dasuki have come to a mutual agreement to part ways with immediate effect.
"HUFC would like to thank Saswa for his contributions, having joined the club as assistant coach in 2017, and being appointed head coach for the 2019 season.
"During his stint at HUFC, Saswa brought honours to the club, including the recent Community Shield. We thank Saswa for his work at HUFC and wish him the best for his future endeavours."
It is understood that one of the contributing factors behind this decision is the club's poor results as Home languish in seventh position in the nine-team SPL.
Despite being touted as one of the title contenders, they have won just two out of six league games and lost 5-1 to Tampines Rovers, and 1-0 to Brunei DPMM and Hougang United as they struggled with injuries and poor form.

 
In the AFC Cup, they are currently second in Group H with seven points after four games, one point behind Indonesia's PSM Makassar, but with a poor goal difference of minus-three.
It was in this second-tier regional competition last year that Saswadimata enjoyed his greatest coaching success when he was assistant to Aidil Sharin as the Protectors emerged Asean Zonal winners.
The 49-year-old former Singapore international declined comment.
Noh Rahman, who was a strength and conditioning coach with the Football Association of Singapore before he joined Home this year, will face fourth-placed Geylang International on April 24 in his first test since taking over the reins.
The 38-year-old former Lion said: "It is never a nice feeling, standing in a position of a colleague whom you have worked with since the start of the season.
"As for my plans and goals, just like the rest of the technical staff, we and the players have an obligation and responsibility to continue where Saswa left off. And that is to improve the individual performance and subsequently the team performance, at least until the new coach comes in.
"We have got some days to prepare for the next game and then it will be one game every three to four days. It is a big challenge, but we need to approach this positively."

How Barcelona could line up with Antoine Griezmann, Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong, but without Philippe Coutinho

How Barcelona could line up with Antoine Griezmann, Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong, but without Philippe Coutinho

Antoine Griezmann has announced he will leave Atletico Madrid this summer.


The France star, who only signed a five-year deal with the club last year, has a release clause which will drop to £104million on July 1.




Antoine Griezmann is set to join Barcelona this summer

Antoine Griezmann is set to join Barcelona this summer


And long-term admirers Barcelona are set to move for Griezmann this summer.


The 28-year-old could be playing alongside Frenkie de Jong, whose £65million transfer from Ajax will go through on July 1.


De Jong’s Ajax team-mate, Matthijs de Ligt, has also been heavily linked with a £75million move to the Nou Camp.


Those three additions could make Barcelona a force again in Europe after suffering humiliating eliminations to Liverpool and Roma in two successive seasons.


But one player who is unlikely to be a Barca player next season is Philippe Coutinho. The 26-year-old has failed to live up to expectations since completing a £142million move from Liverpool in January 2018.




Philippe Coutinho has struggled for form at Barcelona

Philippe Coutinho has struggled for form at Barcelona


Sections of the Camp Nou crowd have turned on the Brazilian by whistling him during games this season.


It has led to reports linking Coutinho with a return to the Premier League.


So, how could Barcelona line up next season?


Marc-Andre ter Stegen could have a solid defensive partnership of De Ligt and Gerard Pique in front of him, with ever-present stars Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba operating as right and left full-backs, respectively.

With De Jong anchoring the midfield for the Netherlands, he could be positioned a little higher up the pitch with Sergio Busquets operating in his usual deep-lying role.


Ivan Rakitic, 31, is reportedly being targeted by Manchester United and Inter and his potential exit could open the door for Arthur Melo to claim a more regular starting place in midfield.











Barcelona legend Lionel Messi, who has scored 48 goals so far this season, will be on the right wing and Ousmane Dembele could get a chance to shine if Coutinho’s likely departure happens.


It will leave Griezmann competing for a starting place with Luis Suarez, who had a disappointing Champions League campaign, scoring just once in ten games.




This is how Barcelona could line up in the 2019/20 season with Antoine Griezmann leading the line

However, Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde has often deployed a 4-4-2 formation, which has worked well in LaLiga.


De Jong and Busquets would be the two central midfielders with Dembele on the left and Messi on the right.


It could see Griezmann partner Suarez up front.


And if Valverde wants more pace from his full-backs, then Nelson Semedo could come in for Roberto.




Esterno Valverde could also switch to a 4-4-2 formation

Raheem Sterling: Manchester City winger gives brilliant response when Piers Morgan asks him to join Arsenal

Raheem Sterling has been one of the standout players in the Premier League this season and it is easy to see why so many clubs would want the Manchester City winger.


Arsenal fan Piers Morgan even tried to get him to sign for the Gunners, but the 24-year-old had the perfect response to his cheeky request.

Morgan has been a vocal critic of Sterling in the past, particularly over the machine gun tattoo on his leg which came to media attention just before last summer’s World Cup.















But the Good Morning Britain presenter took to Twitter to congratulate the England star after he was awarded the Integrity and Impact Award at the BT Sport Industry Awards 2019.

He wrote: â€Å“Congrats @sterling7. Your continued evolution as a footballer & a man of important cultural influence is very impressive.”


Sterling then thanked Morgan. He said: â€Å“Thanks Piers. I’ve come a long way.”


Morgan then saw his opportunity to try and convince the winger to join his team.





He added: â€Å“Haha, you have. But more power to you. Life’s about self-improvement & you’ve turned yourself into a brilliant role model on & off the pitch. Now, since I’ve got your ear, how about joining Arsenal?”


But the former Liverpool man dodged the question with a brilliant reply.















â€Å“I’m running out of battery, sorry,” he tweeted back, adding three running emojis to the message.


Sterling has scored 17 goals and got 10 assists for City in the Premier League this season and his brilliant performances have seen him nominated for both player and young player of the season awards.
