Football: Battered Vertonghen set to return for Spurs at Ajax

AMSTERDAM (REUTERS) - Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen could return for his side's Champions League semi-final, second leg against Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday (May 8) after suffering a head injury in last week's 1-0 home leg defeat.
The Belgian former Ajax player trained on Tuesday wearing a face mask to protect his nose, which was injured in a sickening clash of heads with team mate Toby Alderweireld.
Vertonghen, who attempted to play on last week before being substituted after seemingly struggling to stand up, missed his side's Premier League defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday.
The club said he had not suffered a concussion.
"(Vertonghen) returned to training, continues to be monitored and will wear a face mask to protect nose," the club confirmed, adding that fellow defender Davinson Sanchez would miss the game because of a thigh injury.
Tottenham, who face a daunting task to reach their first Champions League final, are also without leading striker Harry Kane but Son Heung-min, suspended for the first leg, will be back to offer manager Mauricio Pochettino some firepower.
Ajax are bidding to reach their first Champions League semi-final for 23 years and will be favourites after Donny van de Beek's goal in north London last week.

Only one team of the 17 who have lost a Champions League semi-final, first leg at home have overturned the tie - when Ajax overhauled Panathinaikos in the second leg in 1995/96.

Spurs boss Pochettino slapped with Champions League ban for 'delaying kick-off against Ajax'.. but will not miss Liverpool final.

Football: Manchester United sack Jose Mourinho, caretaker manager to be appointed till end of season

LONDON (THE GUARDIAN, REUTERS) - Manchester United have sacked Jose Mourinho following Sunday's (Dec 16) defeat at Liverpool, ending a tenure that began in May 2016.
A poor start to the Premier League season has seen United slip 19 points behind the leaders, Liverpool, and fall off the pace in the hunt for a top-four place. They have won only once in six league matches, drawing during that sequence with struggling Southampton and Crystal Palace.
"Manchester United announces that manager Jose Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect," United said in a statement.
"The club would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future. A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager."
Relations between the manager and the executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, also seemed strained after the club did not sign a central defender this summer. The club concluded that of the players in that position targeted by Mourinho whom they could potentially land, none was an upgrade on the existing squad.
A sense of disunity at United was encapsulated when Mourinho stripped Pogba of the vice-captaincy before a League Cup defeat by Derby County and confronted him at training the following morning. The manager has criticised his players' "mental approach", attitude and quality.
Mourinho has seemed less than happy since the build-up to the season, when he described preparations as "very bad" because many of his senior players were resting after the World Cup.
Â
Â
Â
Â
The manager demanded "respect, respect, respect" for his three Premier League titles following United's 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham in late August but will not get a chance to add a fourth at Old Trafford.
In two full seasons at Old Trafford, Mourinho won the Europa League and League Cup (2016-17) before finishing second in the Premier League last season and reaching the FA Cup final. In that period since replacing Louis van Gaal, United's spending stands at Â£364.3 million (S$632.1 million) on eight buys.
Zinedine Zidane, available following his surprise decision to resign his position at Real Madrid following their Champions League success over Liverpool in May, has been linked with the United job.

English refs can't execute VAR: Sarri

LONDON â€¢ It is not often that managers are on the same side of the fence when it comes to refereeing decisions, but Maurizio Sarri and Mauricio Pochettino were in unison when they spoke out against the video assistant referee (VAR) on Tuesday.
Chelsea manager Sarri complained about the Harry Kane goal which gave Tottenham a 1-0 advantage after the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, suggesting that English referees are unable to use the VAR system.
Kane was upended by the Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga as he ran through in what was a clear foul inside the area, but there was controversy when the assistant referee raised his flag for offside against Kane before the incident.
After a lengthy 90-second VAR review, the Spurs striker was deemed to have been onside, the penalty was duly awarded and he scored.
But Sarri argued that the assistant referee had stopped the game when he flagged and, in the process, unnerved his defenders, who presumed Kane was offside.
In a further twist, he also suggested the technology had got it wrong. Having watched the replays on Chelsea's feed, he insisted Kane was offside.
"Our camera was in line with Harry Kane and he was offside with the head and the knee," he said.
"Maybe the VAR camera was in a different position. But, from our position, he was clearly offside.
"It was also really important that the linesman stopped running with play - he had a big impact on our defenders. I don't think English referees are able to use the VAR system.
"If you are not sure with the system, you have to follow the ball and at the end of the action decide.
"But he stopped and didn't follow the ball - for our defenders, it was clearly offside.
"In Italy, there is VAR and, in the first season, it was a disaster. The referees did not know how to use the system. I think at the moment the (English) referees are not ready to use the system in the right way."
Despite the victory, Spurs manager Pochettino agreed that Kane's winner had left a sour taste.
"It's a system that sometimes kills emotions," the Argentinian said.
"Of course today, it was a little advantage for us and was a good decision for us, but I didn't celebrate because we were waiting for five minutes.
"To get the benefit is nice, but I am unhappy to win the game like this. I am pro-technology because you cannot stop evolution, but we were waiting so long (for the decision) - it is not clear what are the rules."
VAR, which was used at last year's World Cup and is set to be introduced in the Premier League next season, was also in the spotlight during the weekend's FA Cup ties.
At one game, Burnley manager Sean Dyche was left bemused when a penalty decision in favour of his side against Barnsley was overturned just as Matej Vydra was in his run-up to take it.

Harry Kane has scored in each of his last six games in all competitions for Spurs, equalling his best streak for the club (six games between October and November 2015).

Tuesday's incident drew mixed reactions from the pundits.
Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole said on Sky Sports: "VAR is supposed to take away the debate and make things clear-cut. But it's opened up a massive debate."
Former Spurs forward Robbie Keane believes the decision was right. He said: "I understand when defenders put their hands up and stop, but they wouldn't have caught him anyway. They were 10 yards behind Kane."
Meanwhile, London's Metropolitan Police arrested three men for a "racially aggravated public order offence" before the match.
It was understood the language used was allegedly anti-Semitic. The statement did not mention if the men were Chelsea fans or Tottenham supporters.
Spurs also announced yesterday that they will stay at Wembley until at least the end of next month as the finishing touches are put on their new 62,000-seater stadium.
The Premier League home games against Watford, Newcastle and Leicester will all be played at the national stadium.

I think the issue with VAR is simply how we perceive what the rules are. The reason so many of us 'disagree' with many of the calls made is because we just don't know the way the law is worded. The team of refs in the VAR room constantly talk to the referee as he makes calls on the pitch.

Football: Veteran Quagliarella helps rejuvenated Italy thrash Liechtenstein

PARMA, Italy (REUTERS) - Fabio Quagliarella became Italy's oldest goalscorer as his double helped Roberto Mancini's rejuvenated side thrash 10-man Liechtenstein 6-0 in their second Euro 2020 qualifier on Tuesday (March 26).
Quagliarella, 36, netted two first-half penalties, while 19-year-old Moise Kean scored his second goal in his third appearance. Stefano Sensi, Marco Verratti and Leonardo Pavoletti also found the net.
Liechtenstein were reduced to 10 men on the stroke of halftime when Daniel Kaufmann was sent off for a handball on his goalline.
Italy, who have a maximum six points in Group J after a 2-0 win against Finland on Saturday, controlled the midfield through Verratti while Quagliarella set an example with his aggression.
The Azzurri, who are rebuilding under Mancini after missing out on the 2018 World Cup, broke the deadlock after 17 minutes as the 23-year-old Sensi's header from Leonardo Spinazzola's cross from the left found the roof of the net.
Verratti doubled the tally with a fine curled shot into the far side of the goal on 32 minutes.
Quagliarella scored his first goal from the penalty spot after a Nicolas Hasler handball, and his second after Kaufmann also used his arm and was shown a straight red card.
Christian Panucci was Italy's previous oldest goalscorer at 35 years 62 days.
Kean, who had endured a frustrating first half, headed home the fifth on 70 minutes with second-half substitute Pavoletti adding the sixth on his international debut, tapping in after Benjamin Buechel had parried the 30-year-old's header into his path.
Italy next travel to Greece on June 8.

Football: Dangerous Yangon can hurt leaders Tampines Rovers in AFC Cup, warns Kadir Yahaya

SINGAPORE - Tampines Rovers could seal passage to the Asean zone semi-finals of the AFC Cup with a win over Yangon United at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Wednesday (May 1), but Stags head coach Kadir Yahaya has warned his charges to be wary of their Myanmarese opponents.
Tampines lead Group F with 10 points, three ahead of Vietnam's Ha Noi FC. Cambodian side Nagaworld and Yangon have three points apiece, but Nagaworld are third ahead of Yangon because of a better head-to-head record. Each team have played four matches.
Yangon are all but out of the running for a place for the knock-off stages - they will not win Group F and are unlikely to finish as the best second-placed team among the three Asean groups - which makes them a threat, according to Kadir.
At the pre-game media conference at the Corpthorne King's Hotel on Tuesday, the former Singapore international said: "They have nothing to lose, and so the danger we are facing is that they are playing with no objective.
"They can attack at will, and for us it is important to remain calm, and keep our shape and composure."
The caution that Kadir is showing comes after his team left it till late before beating Nagaworld 4-2 in their last AFC Cup game on April 17. The Stags were expected to rout the visitors, but were held at 1-1 until the dying minutes.
"We expected their (Nagaworld's) fast counter attacks, and there were some lapses in concentration on our part which resulted in them equalising (to make it 1-1)," said Kadir, who added that his team's experienced stars like Khairul Amri and Daniel Bennett would be key against Yangon.
"Credit to the players, they kept fighting and eventually we got the goals and result we wanted."
Tampines are hoping for some respite in the AFC Cup after a poor run in the Singapore Premier League (SPL), where they are winless in their last four games .
Kadir believes that squad rotation - essential when competing in the AFC Cup - affects the team's consistency, and pointed to how Home United also suffered domestically during their run to the Asean zone crown in 2018, and how the Protectors posted stronger results in the SPL after the group stage of the AFC Cup.
Home won just two of their first seven SPL games last term, but then won 10 of their next 17 matches to finish second.
Yangon coach Myo Min Tun said he is expecting a tough night for his charges, especially with first-choice goalkeeper Kyaw Zin Htet (illness) and Guinean striker Sekou Sylla (suspension) out for the game.
"Tampines have many good and skilful individual players, like the two wingers (Ryutaro Megumi and Jordan Webb)," noted the 35-year-old, who scored for Myanmar against Singapore in the 2008 AFF Suzuki Cup.
"Tomorrow will be very difficult for us, but we will do our best to challenge and show our level and our team's playing style."

Lucas Moura, from PSG cast-off to Tottenham idol

PARIS (AFP) - Rejected by Paris Saint-Germain after the world-record signing of Neymar, Lucas Moura propelled Tottenham to heights the French giants could only dream of Wednesday (May 8) by single-handedly firing Spurs into a first Champions League final.
With his side seemingly down and out, trailing 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate, Lucas produced a career-defining performance as his stunning second-half hat-trick engineered the latest jaw-dropping Champions League comeback to send Spurs through on away goals.
Yet scarcely 18 months ago, he was at a particularly low ebb after finding himself frozen out in Paris despite five trophy-laden years at the club.
Mauricio Pochettino and Tottenham offered the Brazilian an escape route in January 2018, and Lucas is close to making good on his promise to take the club to the very top.
Upon his arrival in North London, he said: "I think the team is very, very strong. We can win a lot of things and why not the Champions League?"
Just over a year on and Spurs are one win away from becoming European champions after Lucas conjured up a display at the Johan Cruyff Arena befitting of the late Dutch great.
"They are all heroes but Lucas was a super-hero. Unbelievable hat-trick. He deserves it, he is a great guy," a tearful Pochettino said after Tottenham's 3-2 win in Amsterdam set up a June 1 final with fellow comeback kings Liverpool.
Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen even called for a statue of Lucas, who dragged Spurs back from the brink with what were remarkably his first Champions League knockout goals.

Â
Â
Ajax, 1-0 winners in London, appeared home and dry after surging a further two goals clear in the return leg, but Lucas had other ideas with a quickfire double on the hour.
That gave Spurs hope but they were still heading out until Lucas squeezed a low shot beyond Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana in the 96th minute to earn his place in Tottenham folklore.
"Football gives us moments like this that we cannot imagine," said Lucas. "We need to enjoy it. Look at me - it's the best moment in my life, my career.
"It's impossible to explain what I am feeling. I am very, very happy and proud of my teammates.
"We always believed in this moment, that it was possible. We gave everything and deserved this moment. We are a family. It's impossible to explain - impossible."
He became just the fifth player to score a hat-trick in a Champions League semi-final, after Alessandro Del Piero, Ivica Olic, Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Billed at his PSG unveiling as a talent on par with Neymar, Lucas left France without truly fulfilling his potential, but he has now shown their loss is very much Tottenham's gain.
"It's not a response. Criticism is part of football. I knew I could play for a big club, that I was capable of playing in the semi-finals of the Champions League," he said.

Home's Saswa is first casualty of SPL season

After barely a quarter of the Singapore Premier League (SPL) season, Home United are the first team to part ways with their head coach as they announced the mutual termination of Saswadimata Dasuki's contract yesterday.
The Protectors said 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 in a media statement: "Home United FC 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, he brought honours to the club, including the recent Community Shield. We thank him for his work and wish him the best for his future endeavours."
The former Singapore international, 49, declined comment, but it is understood that one of the contributing factors behind the decision is the club's poor results.
Despite being touted as one of the title contenders, Home are languishing in seventh spot in the nine-team SPL, winning just two out of six games as they struggled with injuries and poor form.
In the AFC Cup, they are second in Group H with seven points after four games, one point behind Indonesia's PSM Makassar.
It was in this second-tier Asian competition last year that Saswadimata enjoyed his greatest coaching success when he was assistant to Aidil Sharin as the Protectors emerged as Asean Zonal winners.
Noh Rahman, who was a strength and conditioning coach with the Football Association of Singapore before he joined Home this year, will face his first test on Wednesday against fourth-placed Geylang International.
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, that is to improve the individual performance of the players and the team performance, at least until the new coach comes in.
"It is a big challenge, but we need to approach this positively."
