Kampusbet  ~     Lionel Messi trains with his Barcelona team-mates ahead of Saturday's crunch clash with Real Madrid

Agen Klik4D  ~    Barcelona have been handed a massive boost ahead of their showdown with Real Madrid after Lionel Messi returned to training.


The Argentine has been absent since going off during a win over Las Palmas in September, but has stepped up his recovery.

And Messi looks like he is winning his fight to be ready for the trip to the Bernabeu after joining in full training on Monday.

Barca travel to Real Madrid next Saturday to contest the first El Clasico of the season, sitting three points clear of their rivals at the top of La Liga.

Luis Suarez and Neymar have stepped up in Messi's absence, but Adriano thinks the number 10 could be unleashed on Los Blancos.




Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~    "He is recovering very well, doing everything to get to the game and to have him in the team changes a lot," he told Mundo Deportivo.

"There's a difference when he plays or doesn't, but in his absence we've managed to come together and move forward in matches.

"Every day he's been the Leo we're accustomed to: laughing, joking, and doing things with confidence.

"Would I put money on him playing in the Clasico? Hopefully, yes."

Kampusbet  -    Paris attacks: Roy Hodgson sends condolences in heartfelt statement ahead of England vs France 

 

 

 

 

Agen TangKasneT   ~    Roy Hodgson has issued a statement on behalf of the England team ahead of their friendly with France on Tuesday. 

Over 100 people have been killed in multiple attacks in the French capital.

It was thought Tuesday's match at Wembley would be cancelled as a result but it is now set to go ahead as planned.

And Three Lions boss Hodgson has issued a statement - via the FA website. 

"On behalf of the England coaching staff and players, I would like to pass on our heartfelt condolences to the French nation at this extremely difficult time," he said.

"The events in Paris have left us all shocked and we are thinking of the victims, their loved ones and all those affected by these tragic events.

“Shortly after the match last night the FA contacted the FFF to express our deep sympathy and ask if they wanted to go ahead with Tuesday’s scheduled game at Wembley Stadium.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT   ~   “Today the FFF has informed us they would still like to play the fixture. We respect that decision and will prepare accordingly – both on and off the pitch.

The match will be a serious occasion but one that shows that the football world is united against these atrocities.

“I’m sure the England team and our fans will play their part and show solidarity with our French friends on Tuesday evening and provide support for both teams during this difficult time.”

Explosions could also be heard during France's friendly with Germany at the Stade de France where fans were told to gather on the pitch after the game had finished. 

French police later confirmed there were two suicide attacks and one bombing near the Stade de France, killing three people.

Man United loan star Adnan Januzaj will not leave Borussia Dortmund early, says sporting director

Kampusbet  -    Man United loan star Adnan Januzaj will not leave Borussia Dortmund early, says sporting director

Agen Casin()  ~    Borussia Dortmund will not be sending Adnan Januzaj back to Manchester United early, the club's sporting director has said. 

Januzaj is currently on a season-long loan at the German club but has fallen out-of-favour with manager Thomas Tuchel.

The Belgian, 20, has already netted for United this season and again scored less than 20 minutes into his first game for Thomas Tuchel's side, a friendly against St. Pauli, report the Manchester Evening News.

But Januzaj has largely been restricted to appearances in the Europa League and German Cup to impress. He is yet to start a Bundesliga game and has only occasionally come on off the bench in those games.

Bandar Judi Online Casin()  ~   The struggle to break into the team has led to suggestions Januzaj's loan could be cut short. But sporting director Michael Zorc has set the issue straight.

"That's currently not an issue," he told Kicker.

Part of the problem for Januzaj has been just how well others are performing under Tuchel, with Dortmund sitting in second place, five points behind Bayern and eight points clear of Wolfsburg in third.

"We play an extraordinary season, and the others do an incredible job," said Zorc. "There is no reason to bench them."

Gareth Southgate backs England Under-21s to extend perfect qualifying start despite four key absentees

Kampusbet  -     Gareth Southgate backs England Under-21s to extend perfect qualifying start despite four key absentees

Agen SbobeT  -   Gareth Southgate says England Under-21s can extend their perfect start to Euro 2017 qualifying despite his squad being hit hard.

Southgate's Young Lions take on Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo on Thursday looking to maintain their 100 record following wins against Norway and Kazakhstan.

But they will face the Bosnians without Eric Dier, who has joined up with Roy Hodgson’s senior squad, and the injured trio of Joe Gomez, Nathan Redmond and Jordon Ibe.

They return home to take on Switzerland in Brighton on Monday with Southgate targeting maximum points.

“It’s a good opportunity, because if we can win the two matches we control the group,” said Southgate.

“It will be two difficult tests and we’ve lost a few players but it’s a good opportunity for us to have a look at some other players, which is always exciting to see how they perform and how they step up.

“They are two good challenges for different reasons.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  -   “Any away game is difficult and Bosnia have had poor results in the group but were much better when they played Switzerland last time, so I’m expecting a tougher test there.

“And Switzerland are a good side so that will be a really good game of football down at Brighton.

We’re a team in the early stages of growing and discovering itself so we can’t afford to take anything for granted.

“Most of them are new to the environment and they want to show what they can do.

“It’s a challenge as a team and a group but it’s a great opportunity for individuals.

“It’s a great opportunity for the lads who have gone with the seniors so we will have to make changes to the starting team but hopefully the work we’ve done will stand us in good stead.”

Possible team (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Iorfa, Chambers, Browning, Targett; Baker, Ward-Prowse; Watmore, Loftus-Cheek, March; Akpom.

Liverpool starlet Jordon Ibe hoping to be the Reds' Robert Lewandowski under Jurgen Klopp

Kampusbet  -   Liverpool starlet Jordon Ibe hoping to be the Reds' Robert Lewandowski under Jurgen Klopp 

 

 

 

 

Agen MaxbeT  -    Jordon Ibe hopes Jurgen Klopp can do for him what he did for Robert Lewandowski.

Manager Klopp nurtured ­Lewandowski into one of Europe’s best strikers at Borussia Dortmund and Ibe says the German has a proven track record for developing young talent.

He hopes Klopp can also help him to the top and the Reds' new boss has started the teenage winger in three of Liverpool’s last four games.

Ibe, 19, has grabbed his chance by scoring his first goal for the club against Rubin Kazan last Thursday and was the Reds’ best player in Sunday’s defeat to Crystal Palace. 

He obviously did a great job at Borussia Dortmund,” said Ibe. “The fact that the young players he brought in were a big part of the success is very ­encouraging for guys like me.

“Of course, those youngsters at Dortmund didn’t just become a little bit better either – some of them, like Robert Lewandowski, have become players who are operating at the highest level in the ­Champions League. Hopefully he can help me and some of the lads here do the same.

I’m hoping my attributes – pace and strength and being able to go past people – will suit the way he wants to play and I can get some ­opportunities.”

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  -   Klopp clearly rates Ibe, who could miss England Under-21s’ Euro qualifiers against Bosnia and Switzerland through injury, and gave him a huge bear hug after his match-winning display against Kazan.

That performance was an important marker in the youngster’s development and he is beginning to fill the attacking void left by the sale of Raheem Sterling to Manchester City in the summer.

However, Liverpool’s new rising star admits he does find being recognised strange.

“It’s happened to me a few times,” he said. “Usually it’s kids rather than adults. I suppose kids are naturally more enthusiastic and will approach you and say hello.

If I saw a famous ­footballer, like David Beckham, I’d probably be star-struck, so for somebody to get excited about meeting me feels odd. It’s humbling and ­enjoyable. I know what it’s like to be a kid looking for an autograph, so I’m happy to stop and chat or have a photo.”

Ibe was not so happy after the loss to Palace and revealed the players were extremely frustrated to suffer their first loss under Klopp to end their 12-match unbeaten run.

“It was disappointing, everybody was angry,” he said. “We played all right and created chances, but it just didn’t happen. We’re just trying to build and keep the ­confidence in the team, we just need to keep it going.”

 

Jurgen Klopp's emotional pull is what makes him successful, says Liverpool's Emre Can

Kampusbet  -    Jurgen Klopp's emotional pull is what makes him successful, says Liverpool's Emre Can

Agen Klik4D  -   Emre Can believes Jurgen Klopp's emotion is what makes him a successful manager.

Can had previous experience of Klopp's methods before the German took over at Liverpool last month. 

Although he did not play under him, Can says that the intensity in which Borussia Dortmund played under him made them a very tough team to play against.

Liverpool fans will be hoping Anfield will be the venue for a similarly successful style of play in the coming months.

Can, who was undefeated against Klopp in Germany despite being impressed by Dortmund's mentality, believes his passion runs through to the players.

He told the Mail on Sunday: "I didn’t know him personally but obviously I saw him at work. As you can see, he is very emotional on the sidelines, it is why he is successful." 

Klopp's 'Gegenpressing' regime has not yet been fully incorporated into the Liverpool team - due to the frequency of fixtures.

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  -   Since Klopp's arrival, Liverpool have played twice in the Europa League, as well as packing in the Premier League outings.

Can said: "It is a case of us not having had much time to train because there have been so many games. It has been similar training to the previous trainer [Brendan Rodgers]."

Can, 22, is not your average young adult due to his life at Liverpool.

The German international rarely heads out to pubs and clubs, but instead enjoys spending time at his Formby home with friends and family.

He explained: "It’s difficult to go out when there is a match every third day. There isn’t that much time, it’s either preparation or recovery, and I would rather spend my time with friends at home."

Liverpool players already buying into 'charismatic' Jurgen Klopp’s football philosophy at Anfield

Kampusbet  -    Liverpool players already buying into 'charismatic' Jurgen Klopp’s football philosophy at Anfield 

 

 

 

 

Agen TangKasneT  -   German Jurgen Klopp has already improved his top-four chasing Liverpool team... because the players have bought into the charismatic boss’ ideas.

That was the message coming from inside the Reds’ dressing room after they ­delivered a clear statement of intent over the past week.

Not only did Klopp engineer a spectacular win at Chelsea to boost the club’s top-four prospects, but they then followed up with a thoroughly professional win in Kazan to put ­Liverpool on the verge of Europa League qualification.

The German has enjoyed a six-game unbeaten run since arriving in England, and his players lined up on Friday to suggest it is no­ coincidence.

He is very charismatic, an impressive bloke who you know, as soon as you meet him, has presence,” said midfielder Joe Allen.

“Since day one, everyone has taken on board his ideas straight away – you could see the players took to it immediately. I get the vibe that he can help me and help other players individually.

“What is really promising is that’s the message you’re getting from all the lads really – they think he can help them, and they’ve got a part to play and that will make for a successful season.”

It is easy to see the affection Klopp generates in his players when he hugs them on the final whistle, with Europa League matchwinner Jordon Ibe the recipient of the best moment in Kazan, as Klopp shouted ‘Ibeeeeeee’ when embracing him.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  -   That warmth and togetherness clearly goes both ways as Ibe admits being around the former Borussia Dortmund chief is a real learning experience .

“He’s a great manager, I’m delighted to be working with him – he’s showing me new things in training so I’m learning,” Ibe said.

“Hopefully I can keep getting the experience I need and he can develop me into a good player. 

Everybody’s doing well in training and we’re just delighted as a group to be doing well now.”

Klopp has implemented important changes on the training ground.

A win over Crystal Palace on Sunday could move Liverpool onto the shoulders of the likes of Manchester United and the reason is simple – the Reds have much better defensive organisation.

Keeper Simon Mignolet, whose biggest fear in Russia was catching cold as he had nothing to do, ­appreciates the improved solidity in front of him.

“He has given the lads a lot of confidence and everyone knows what their job is– he is clear with his message,” the Belgium ­international said.

“Everyone is organised, everyone knows what they have to do and we don’t give anything away.”
