Football: Real Madrid sign Jovic for 60 million euros: Report

MADRID (REUTERS) - Real Madrid have signed Serbia striker Luka Jovic from Eintracht Frankfurt for 60 million euros (S$92 million), television channel Sky Germany said on Thursday (May 16).
Jovic, 21, scored 10 goals for the German side in their run to the Europa League semi-finals where they were knocked out by Chelsea on penalties and has netted 17 times in the Bundesliga.
Spanish newspaper AS said Madrid would officially announce the signing next week after the Bundesliga season ends.
Jovic, who has made 13 appearances for Serbia, is expected to be the first of several high-profile players to join Real Madrid as the deposed European champions look to respond to a disappointing campaign on all fronts.

Football: Rafael Bentez fumes as Wolves deny Newcastle with another stoppage-time equaliser

LONDON (THE GUARDIAN) - Rafael Benítez must hate it when the fourth official holds up the board for added time against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Just as Matt Doherty had headed a winner in the 94th minute at St James' Park in December, so Newcastle were again undone by a last-gasp goal as Willy Boly headed in Adama Traoré's deep cross in the 95th on Monday night.
Boly was able to head beyond a flapping Martin Dubravka in an aerial duel at the back post. But once Benítez had moved beyond his disappointment, the Newcastle manager should still take great heart from the resolve his side displayed as Isaac Hayden's rare goal earned United the draw that lifts them a point above the English Premier League relegation zone.
Benítez initially said his goalkeeper should have defended Traoré's high cross better before revealing his true feelings.
"In England they don't understand the rules," he said. "It was already the 94th minute so you can say too many things that won't change what happened, like we couldn't change in the first game. I'm obviously disappointed but very happy with the performance of the team."
Asked to clarify if he believed the referee, Graham Scott, had made a mistake, he added: "The six-yard box is there to protect the 'keeper. You have to protect the 'keeper. We have been here for years and it's still very difficult to explain that."
The concession of the late goal added insult to injury for Benítez, clearly still holding a grudge for the events at St James' where he believed Boly should have been dismissed for elbowing Ayoze Pérez in Wolves' penalty area.
"I think we have to be really disappointed with the way we concede in both games against this team," he added. "After an elbow in the face of my player and a penalty not given and then we concede today, you can analyse it. But I'm really disappointed to concede this way against a good team."
Certainly Wolves refuse to admit when they are beaten. They have now scored 14 goals after the 80th minute this thrilling season, six of those coming in added time.
There is a resilience that comes with belief. "Yes that we have until the last minute," Nuno Espírito Santo, the Wolves head coach, said.
"Till the last second the referee whistles to finish, we keep going. For that I am really pleased because it one of the things we must keep on doing, (showing) character and believing. We have had a lot of moments like this."
Wolves may have been thwarted in their bid to chalk up a fourth successive top-flight victory for the first time since 1972 but refreshed by their warm-weather training trip to Marbella, they still strengthened their hold on seventh place in the Premier League and now turn their attention to the FA Cup fifth-round tie at second-tier Bristol City.
The uneasy peace between Benítez and the Newcastle hierarchy could yet lead to happier times.
Not only has the manager been able to find a formula that has also brought victories over Cardiff and Manchester City, he has also been able to introduce a £21 million (S$36.7 million) attacking presence and Miguel Almirón came off the bench to applause almost as rapturous as that greeting Hayden's first goal since October 2017.
Benítez has made it plain that talk of his Newcastle future must wait till the summer. But at least a thaw seems to be in evidence.
Wolves, with five wins from their previous seven games, were the dominant team in the first period, with Raúl Jiménez, with eight goals from his last 11 starts, doing everything but score. The manner in which he took the long route to get past DeAndre Yedlin and Fabian Schär before unleashing a shot that Dubravka was happy to save was indicative of his soaring confidence.
Newcastle finished the half the stronger, however, Salomón Rondón running on to Pérez's clever angled pass and managing a shot that only went wide after Conor Coady's tackle.
Eleven minutes after the restart, it was a similar through ball that set up their goal. It is 16 months since Hayden last scored but when Boly was caught on his heels as Schär strode forward and played a pass down the inside-right channel, the midfielder showed no hesitation as he shot powerfully home at the near post, exposing Rui Patrício's early decision to dive the other way.
Hayden would have been an unlikely hero. Having had requests to leave rejected in each of the past two transfer windows, to move south to be nearer his infant daughter, he may just have played a crucial part in Newcastle's effort to stay up.

Football: Ali on target as Qatar stun Japan to win first Asian Cup

ABU DHABI (REUTERS) - Almoez Ali scored with a spectacular overhead kick for a record ninth goal of the Asian Cup to set Qatar on their way to a first continental title with a stunning 3-1 win over four-time champion Japan on Friday (Feb 1).
Ali's early goal took him past Ali Daei's 1996 tally and, combined with a 27th-minute strike from Abdulaziz Hatem and a late Akram Afif penalty, helped the Qataris make an emphatic statement ahead of their hosting of the 2022 World Cup.
Sudan-born Ali's record goal came after a protest by the host United Emirates FA into his eligibility to represent Qatar was dismissed by the Asian Football Confederation only a few hours before kickoff.
Japan finally found a way through a Qatar defence that had not conceded in six previous matches when Takumi Minamino scored in the 69th minute but the penalty condemned the Samurai Blue to their first defeat in an Asian Cup final.
The victory was celebrated wildly by thousands of Omanis who had turned out to support Qatar in the absence of their own fans, who were unable to travel because of a deep political rift with the UAE.
"Today we made history for our country, we need to be very proud about our achievement," said Qatar coach Felix Sanchez.
"This is one step more towards be ready for 2022 and represent Qatar as a very competitive team at the World Cup."
Japan, chasing a record-extending fifth title, started the brighter but it was the Qataris who drew first blood through the prolific Ali, who was later named Player of the Tournament.

 
 
 
Afif has set up most of Ali's goals in the UAE and he was again the provider in the 12th minute with a cross that found the striker in space with his back to goal close to the penalty spot.
There was still plenty of work to do but Ali took a touch off each foot to tee up the ball before angling it past Shuichi Gonda into the corner of the net with a bicycle kick.
The Afif-Ali combination nearly struck again a minute later but the Qataris did not have to wait long to double their lead.
Hatem, who scored the winner against South Korea in the quarter-finals, summoned up another magnificent strike, cutting in from the right before curling the ball past the helpless Gonda into the top left-hand corner.
The Japanese, who had weathered a first-half storm before beating Iran in the semi-finals, kept their composure but were simply unable to break through the compact lines of Qatar's defence.
Japan skipper Maya Yoshida clashed heads with Boualem Khoukhi on the hour mark, resulting in the big Qatari defender being carried off on a stretcher.
The Qatar defence looked less assured without him and Japan took full advantage when Yuya Osako played in Minamino and the winger chipped the ball over advancing goalkeeper Saad Al Sheeb.
Japan poured forward looking for an equaliser but, after reference to VAR, Yoshida was adjudged to have blocked Abdelkarim Hassan's header with his hand in the 80th minute and Afif calmly sent Gonda the wrong way from the spot.
"Our goal was to win the title, and so I'm disappointed and regretful we could not bring the Cup home to the Japanese people," Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu said.
"I always think the winning team is better so in that sense they were."

Football: Do teams still need iconic captains now?

LONDON • About a decade ago, The Wall Street Journal writer Sam Walker had the idea of trying to identify the most objectively great teams in sporting history, and seeing if he could discern any common traits.
He found they all shared a single characteristic - for every team, the duration of their success coincided with the lifespan of a captain, who could elevate a team to perform beyond the level of their natural ability, from Hungary's Ferenc Puskas to Carles Puyol of Barcelona.
In short, he theorised the one thing the greatest teams have in common is great player leadership.
Walker's findings provide an interesting counterpoint to an inconspicuous but intriguing trend of this Premier League season.
At many teams, the club captain has been an impermanent or peripheral figure.
Gary Cahill has barely played for Chelsea, likewise, Everton's Phil Jagielka, and Southampton's Steven Davis, now on loan to Rangers.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE
You don't always need vocal captains... You can lead by example as a creative player. If the likes of Hazard or Silva are picked as captains, for me, that's a sign that those guys should be able to inspire the team.
NIGEL WINTERBURN, former Arsenal defender, on how individualistic attacking players can break the archetype of the vocal and defensive captain.

Manchester United's Antonio Valencia and Manchester City's Vincent Kompany have started five and six league games respectively.
Seven clubs (Arsenal, the Toffees, Fulham, City, United, Newcastle and the Saints) have had four or more captains this term.
All of which begs a question: Is the ever-present, totemic captain an endangered species? And does it matter?
The first thing to point out is that there does not appear to be an obvious correlation between consistency of captain and success based on the small sample of this league season.
City do not appear to have suffered for rotating the armband.
In fact, it is easy to disparage the importance attached to captaincy as old-fashioned - a peculiarly English hang-up.



When pundits - usually from the generations of retired former players - bemoan the lack of leaders in modern football, it feels like they are often harking back to that monolithic figure of English folklore.
The blood-soaked Terry Butcher, or Captain Marvel Bryan Robson, or John Terry or Tony Adams shouting and pointing fingers.
But Nigel Winterburn, who played under Adams at Arsenal, says that the presence of an old-school skipper in the ranks was not something he or his teammates considered a particularly important factor in their success.
"It didn't give us anything extra," the former England defender says.
"I never really worried who was captain, it didn't interest me."
When Winterburn moved to West Ham, the captaincy was less consistent unlike at Highbury, yet he "didn't personally notice the difference".
Is the lionisation of a single captain out of step with the reality of modern football then, a prehistoric obsession in an era of advanced analytics and player rotation?
As Michael Cox pointed out in an article for ESPN on Arsenal's perceived lack of leaders in 2016, every generation thinks it had better leaders.
As early as 1938, then Gunners boss Herbert Chapman was lamenting: "Football today lacks the personalities of 20 or 30 years ago."
A lack of leadership is often a retrofitted criticism applied to underperforming teams, while teams that succeed, despite lacking archetypal leaders, escape censure.
However, it would be wrong to say the idea of captaincy is something that is incompatible with the analytical side of modern football.
It is possible that the cult of the captain has seemingly declined in parallel with the rise of the cult of the coach.
The advent of meticulous micromanagers such as City's Pep Guardiola and Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp, whose coaching depends in large part on intensively rehearsing movements and systems, ensures their teams are never unsure of what to do in any phase of the game.
It seems there has also been a change in the type of player considered for the captaincy.
In the past, that office was usually the preserve of vocal, charismatic, defensive players.
But a new breed of captain has begun to emerge. This season, Arsenal's Mesut Ozil, David Silva at City and Fulham's Tom Cairney have worn the armband in the league.
These are all attacking players, most of the individualistic variety, none especially loud.
But Winterburn, who was captained by Joe Cole in his final season at West Ham, believes they can do the job.
"You don't always need vocal captains," he says. "You can lead by example as a creative player. If the likes of (Chelsea's Eden) Hazard or Silva are picked as captains, for me, that's a sign that those guys should be able to inspire the team."
While Winterburn still prefers the single-captain model, he adds, "There should be 11 captains out there."
It seems that is the way we are heading but by rotating the captaincy, are you multiplying leadership or spreading it more thinly?
Therein lies the paradox - with 59 players and counting having skippered a league team this season, is captaincy in decline? Or is it in fashion?

Football: Man United open talks with Rashford over new deal, reports say

LONDON (AFP) - Manchester United have opened talks with Marcus Rashford over a new and improved contract following the forward's impressive run of form under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, reports said on Tuesday (Feb 5).
The 21-year-old scored his 10th goal of the season in Sunday's 1-0 win at Leicester, becoming the second-youngest player to reach 100 Premier League appearances for United after Ryan Giggs.
Rashford's contract expires next year and while United have the option to extend it until 2021, negotiations are understood to have started over a fresh agreement.
Rashford has started all eight Premier League games since Solskjaer took over from the sacked Jose Mourinho in December, scoring six goals.
The club are also working on a new contract for goalkeeper David de Gea, having last week tied forward Anthony Martial down until at least 2024.
United interim boss Solskjaer said on Friday that Martial and Rashford could create a devastating on-field relationship for years to come.
"They'll play many, many years together, hopefully, so if they get an understanding of each other, because both are very good at coming in off the left," he said.
"If one of them plays centrally, then the other one has to have opposite movements."
Seven wins in eight league games under Solskjaer have lifted United to just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the race for Champions League places.

Premier League talking points

1 FULHAM NEED FRESH BLOOD

Claudio Ranieri said after their 2-0 loss to West Ham on Saturday that it was too soon to talk about the January transfer window, before admitting his Fulham squad required refreshing.
Something needs to be done about a defence that collapsed for the away side's two goals, but Ranieri also needs far better from the players he inherited from the sacked Slavisa Jokanovic.
Jean Michael Seri had the highest billing of Fulham's hefty summer spree but was a lost soul in their midfield, with his substitution leading to ironic cheers.

2 TOOTHLESS TERRIERS

The loss of Aaron Mooy to a knee injury expected to keep him out until February is a serious blow to Huddersfield.
They did not particularly miss the Australia midfielder during Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Newcastle. Juninho Bacuna, on his first league start, did well alongside Philip Billing and Jonathan Hogg, but the team looked blunt up front.
None of the attacking players David Wagner signed in the summer - Ramadan Sobhi, Isaac Mbenza and Adama Diakhaby - have made an impact, while their existing strikers, Laurent Depoitre and Steve Mounie, are not clinical enough.

3 HUNGRY YOUNG HORNETS

While Watford's key performers in their 3-2 win against Cardiff were Gerard Deulofeu and Abdoulaye Doucoure, Vicarage Road is bedding in an even younger generation.
Adalberto Penaranda, Ben Wilmot and Domingos Quina are Under-21 talents knocking on the door of the first team. Midfielder Quina has impressed after starting the last two league games. The 19-year-old Portuguese also became the club's youngest scorer with a superb strike on Saturday.
