Football: Grief in Sevilla as former star Jose Antonio Reyes killed in car crash

Football: Grief in Sevilla as former star Jose Antonio Reyes killed in car crash

MADRID (AFP) - Former Arsenal, Real Madrid and Spain star Jose Antonio Reyes has been killed in a car crash, his hometown club Sevilla said on Saturday (June 1). He was 35.
Reyes, who shot to fame at Sevilla before a switch to Arsenal, followed by spells at Real and Atletico Madrid, was on the books with second-tier Spanish club Extremadura.
"We couldn't be confirming worse news. Beloved Sevilla star Jose Antonio Reyes has died in a traffic collision. Rest in peace," Sevilla, where he spent two four-year spells, said on Twitter.
The emergency services in Andalusia and the authorities in the player's home town, Utrera, said Reyes died in an accident on the main road from Sevilla to Utrera. They said another member of his family also died and a third person was injured.
Spain captain Sergio Ramos, who is also from the province of Seville, came through the youth team just after Reyes and later played with him at Real Madrid also tweeted his grief.
"Broken. Shattered," wrote Ramos. "I have no words. All the affection for the family. We will always remember you, my friend! RIP brother."
Reyes won a European Under-21 title with Spain in 2002 and went on to play 21 times for Spain between 2003 and 2006, scoring four goals.
He won Premier League and FA Cup medals at Arsenal and came on as a late substitute when the Gunners lost the 2006 Champions League final to Barcelona.
He helped Sevilla win the Spanish second division in his first stint at the club. He won the Europa League five times, twice with Atletico Madrid and three times in his second spell at Sevilla.
He also won domestic league titles with Real Madrid and Benfica.
After leaving Sevilla in 2016, Reyes played for Espanyol, Cordoba and Xinjian Tianshan in China, before arriving at Extremadura this year as a free agent.
"With broken hearts we announce the news of our player Jose Antonio Reyes' death in a car crash and we ask for you to pray for his soul," Extremadura said.
Monchi, who overlapped with Reyes as a player at Sevilla and is now the club's director of football, also tweeted his sadness and referred to wingback Antonio Puerta, who died of a cardiac arrest playing for Sevilla in 2007.
"Impossible news to believe, impossible to digest," wrote Monchi. "What a left flank you are going to make, Antonio and you (Puerta), up there."

Football: Pochettino says energised Spurs ready for Dortmund test

Football: Pochettino says energised Spurs ready for Dortmund test

LONDON (AFP) - Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham have shaken off the fatigue from their gruelling schedule as they prepare to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday.
Pochettino was frustrated that Tottenham had to play their Premier League match against Leicester on Sunday, while Dortmund were in action 24 hours earlier against Hoffenheim.
The Tottenham boss claimed over the weekend that the extra day of rest for the Bundesliga leaders could put his team at a "massive disadvantage" in the first leg at Wembley.
Adding to Pochettino's frustration, Dortmund have also benefited from a refreshing winter break, while Tottenham have been damaged by injuries to Harry Kane and Dele Alli following the draining Christmas and New Year programme.
But, aware of the dangers of giving his players a ready-made excuse for under-performing, Pochettino was keen to accentuate the positive.
"I've described before, or in the last few days, that it was a little bit unfair (the schedule)," Pochettino told reporters on Tuesday (Feb 12).
"But that is not an excuse (not) to arrive tomorrow in our best condition and fight to try to win. I think you can feel in the eyes of the players the energy."
Tottenham beat Dortmund twice in the Champions League group stage last season but they will face more formidable opponents this time.
Dortmund sit on top of the Bundesliga with a vibrant squad including young England forward Jadon Sancho.
Pochettino is well aware of the threat posed by the Germans as he tries to lead Tottenham into the quarter-finals of a European competition for the first time in his five-year reign.
But, despite the absence of Kane and Alli, they have reeled off four successive wins to stay in the Premier League title race.
And Pochettino expects his side to rise to the occasion in the same never-say-die style they displayed in the group stage this term.

ENERGY AND MOTIVATION

It took late goals against PSV Eindhoven, Inter Milan and Barcelona for Tottenham to make the last 16 by the skin of their teeth.
"We were talking in the meeting before and it's completely different (in big games)," Pochettino said.
"If you ask me why, I don't know, because I'm a person whose own motivation is always high, when we play against Dortmund or Barcelona or we play against different (teams) in different competitions.
"But of course you can feel that it's the Champions League, that it's going to be a massive game with, I hope, a full stadium at Wembley and of course the energy and motivation is going to be there."
Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has already seized on Pochettino's upbeat message.
Recalling Tottenham's group-stage win over Real Madrid last season, Vertonghen says the north Londoners have no reason to fear any team in Europe if they play at their best.
"We can beat anyone. We have shown that last year. Over two games we were the better team against Real Madrid, who were the eventual winners of the trophy," he said.
There was frustration for Tottenham at this stage of the Champions League last season when they conceded two second-half goals to crash out against Juventus after they had looked to have the tie in their control.
That painful memory will motivate Vertonghen and company against Dortmund.
"That is why it was a shame we could not do better last year because we felt we should have done better," he said.
"That is why everyone has the feeling we can do it this year."

Don't write Manchester United off: Ole

Don't write Manchester United off: Ole

PARIS • Manchester United travelled to Paris yesterday without 10 first-team players and facing a two-goal deficit, but the odds are not insurmountable for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose players "feel invincible".
The Red Devils will be boosted for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie by the presence of former manager Alex Ferguson, who was on the same team plane, with Solskjaer's men seeking to invoke the spirit of their European Cup-winning campaign in 1999 against Paris-Saint Germain today.
Such is the squad's self-belief after a run of 12 wins in 15 games in all competitions since the Norwegian took over on an interim basis in December, and they now "feel that every game we are in with a chance to win".
And, after a club-record eight straight away victories, the caretaker boss believes his short-handed team, who will also be without the suspended Paul Pogba, are "not going to go out without giving a fight".
In an interview posted on the club's website, he said: "We can't write games off, we've been fantastic away from home.
"We're going to go out there and enjoy the game. We know it's (Parc des Princes) a difficult place to come and they played really well at Old Trafford, so it's a great challenge for our players to go out there and show what they can do.
"They go into away games now knowing that we can defend well and we've got pace on the counter. They've been very confident away from home so hopefully, we can take that to Paris because we have to - we're playing against top, top players."

NOT SITTING BACK
We'd rather win 4-2 than try to get a 2-0. We've got to get to half-time better off than we are now. If you can get to 1-0 at half-time, then anything can happen in the second half.
OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER, Manchester United interim manager, hinting that his team will attack from the start.

---

PLAYING WITHOUT FEAR
With the injuries we've got, the position we're in, going to Paris is a tough place to go... but the really impressive performances have been away from home. The players they've got are suited to playing away from home.
RYAN GIGGS, United legend and Wales manager, on his former team having what it takes to beat PSG today.

Pinpointing his aim to at least pull back a goal in the first half, Solskjaer added: "We'd rather win 4-2 than try to get a 2-0. We've got to get to half-time better off than we are now. If you can get to 1-0 at half-time, then anything can happen in the second half.
"They are confident going into the game, even knowing that we are 2-0 down... we have got loads of injuries, but there's a few boys here that will want to be part of it.
"Certainly, for our players, they know what we are capable of and we have spoken about it. They know that they are part of a special club that can do something like this.
"We have got to go for it. We have a mountain to climb, but we have quality players."
While United have been forced to bring along five academy players after a growing casualty list including Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian, Anthony Martial, Phil Jones and Alexis Sanchez, club great Ryan Giggs thinks a comeback win is "not impossible".
Speaking at a Champions League trophy tour event in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Wales manager backed calls for Solskjaer to take the reins on a full-time basis, saying: "I can't see anyone past Ole at the moment. The record they've had in the league has been phenomenal.
"It's a tough league and to put together the run that he's done, it's impressive.
"With the injuries we've got, the position we're in, going to Paris is a tough place to go... but the really impressive performances have been away from home.
"The players they've got are suited to playing away from home."

Football: Tottenham's Vertonghen to see neurologist over head injury

Football: Tottenham's Vertonghen to see neurologist over head injury

LONDON (AFP) - Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen will see a neurologist on Thursday (May 2) after suffering a horrific head injury during his side's Champions League semi-final defeat against Ajax.
Vertonghen was dazed and covered in blood following an accidental collision with Tottenham team-mate Toby Alderweireld in the first half on Tuesday.
The Belgium international initially tried to play on after being checked by Tottenham's medical staff, but he still looked groggy and had to be helped off the pitch moments later.
It was feared Vertonghen had suffered a concussion, raising questions about the decision to allow him to briefly resume play.
Vertonghen has shown no ill-effects since and tests so far have been all clear, but Tottenham revealed he will go for an additional examination with the specialist on Thursday.
"Jan Vertonghen has undergone further assessment today (Wednesday 1 May) after sustaining a head injury in last night's Champions League semi-final first leg against Ajax. He also suffered a small cut to his nose that was bleeding heavily," a Tottenham statement said.
"Jan was immediately withdrawn as a result of the player informing medical staff that symptoms were developing suddenly and that he no longer felt stable standing up.

Not the way I wanted the game to go last night. Feeling ok today. Thanks to both sets of fans for the positive messages 👍 #UCL #COYS pic.twitter.com/I9l4GaBznX— Jan Vertonghen (@JanVertonghen) May 1, 2019

 
"Tests today have been clear and testing will continue for the next few days.
"Additionally, as is standard club policy with certain injuries, we shall also be seeking independent advice and Jan is due to see a neurologist, who specialises in elite athletes, tomorrow. The player has reported no ill-effects today."
Vertonghen tweeted: "Not the way I wanted the game to go last night. Feeling ok today. Thanks to both sets of fans for the positive messages."

'Serene' Quagliarella becomes Italy's oldest scorer at 36

'Serene' Quagliarella becomes Italy's oldest scorer at 36

PARMA • Fabio Quagliarella attributed his new-found inner peace, following years of being harassed by a stalker, to his stunning form for club and country after the 36-year-old became the oldest player to score for Italy on Tuesday.
The Naples native converted two penalties to make it a total of nine goals for his country in a crushing 6-0 Euro 2020 qualifying win by the Azzurri over Liechtenstein in Parma.
Coach Roberto Mancini put out a mix of youth and experienced heads, which paid off handsomely with the other goals coming from Stefano Sensi, Marco Verratti, Moise Kean and Leonardo Pavoletti.
However, it was Quagliarella who grabbed the headlines after he earned his 26th and 27th caps in the past week - 81/2 years since his last Azzurri appearance - as a reward for scoring 21 goals in 27 Serie A games this term, two more than Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
After overtaking former Roma defender Christian Panucci who was 35 when he netted for Italy in 2008, the Sampdoria striker insisted he "did not feel his age".
"I feel good, I'm very serene. It's a wonderful evening," added Quagliarella, whose stalker was jailed for nearly five years in 2017.
"I want to thank my teammates. After the two goals, they encouraged me to get a third one too, but it didn't happen.
"I thank Jorginho and (Leonardo) Bonucci as they are the penalty takers and they told me to kick (instead). They said: 'The evening is yours, you kick it'. I also thank Mancini who gave me this opportunity."
The Stadio Ennio Tardini crowd was equally thrilled for him, giving him a standing ovation as he left the pitch. He acknowledged it was "a memory I will always cherish".
Calling his call-up "deserved", Mancini said it was also because "he is the Capocannoniere (top scorer) in Serie A this season".
And after his players kept their unbeaten run in the Euro qualifiers going back nearly 13 years, the former Manchester City boss added: "Mission accomplished. The result was obvious, but it was important that we score goals."
Verratti was similarly delighted that despite being "a young squad, we are on the right track".
The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, who notched only his second international goal in six years, said: "After failing to qualify for the World Cup, we wanted to bring enthusiasm back to the group and to the fans.
"It's important for a midfielder to score, but in Paris, I have a deeper role and we have so many strikers there lining up to score. I am happy with the goal, though."

Football: Liverpool laying groundwork for sustained success, says Klopp

Football: Liverpool laying groundwork for sustained success, says Klopp

LONDON (AFP) - Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool's Premier League rivals that the leaders are laying the foundations for long-term success.
Klopp's side sit four points clear at the top as they chase Liverpool's first English title since 1990.
But the Liverpool boss does not want this season's potential title triumph to be a one-off.
The German believes the willingness of Liverpool's owner John W Henry to reward star players with improved contracts is key to fulfilling his ambition for sustained success.
Andrew Robertson is the latest to commit himself to the club. His new five-year contract follows long-term deals for Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez and Jordan Henderson.
"In general it's always a good sign to have the opportunity to extend contracts early," Klopp told reporters on Friday (Jan 18).
"If we can keep these boys together, we are in the middle of our development, so it's good news for Liverpool.
"These 17-18 players plus the really young boys, that's the squad of the future. It should be like this. It's investment, the club gave us the opportunity to do it. Really nice."
Klopp is yet to win a trophy since taking charge at Liverpool but there are plenty of signs he is on the verge of ending that drought this term.
While Klopp would not be drawn on just how successful Liverpool can be with their current crop, he agreed they are now strong enough, on and off the pitch, for a period of challenging for major honours.
"Progress is something everybody should expect. The club gave us a fantastic opportunity to bring in outstanding players, to keep outstanding players. My job is to make sure we perform on the pitch," he said.
"Where will we be in two or three years? I have no idea but the age group is good. This season will not finish our development.
"It doesn't look like we'll lose any key player (and) we build a new training ground, another step in the future."
Liverpool are likely to offer promising youngster Ki-Jana Hoever a professional contract after he turned 17 on Friday.
The Dutch youth international became the third-youngest player in the club's history when he made his debut in the FA Cup defeat at Wolves earlier this month.
"He can sign professional now. If you turn 17, life should be really cool, yeah?" added Klopp ahead of Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace.
"There are big steps to make for all of these boys. Ki-Jana will be fine, he is really happy in the moment. We showed him where he will be in the future. Now he has to make all the steps alone, but supported by us.
"Contracts are no concern in this moment - there were plenty of reasons for him to join us. The boys are here, and now we work with them."

Football: Liverpool's Klopp to resist rushing Firmino back for Watford clash

Football: Liverpool's Klopp to resist rushing Firmino back for Watford clash

LIVERPOOL, England (REUTERS) - Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino's ankle injury is not as serious as initially estimated, but manager Juergen Klopp said he may not risk the Brazilian even if he is passed fit for Wednesday's (Feb 27) Premier League game against Watford.
Firmino sustained an ankle injury in Liverpool's goalless draw at Manchester United on Sunday. Klopp is keen to manage his player's injury ahead of the Merseyside derby with Everton at the weekend.
"If Bobby goes down and leaves the pitch it is always a bad sign because he is a pretty hard boy," Klopp told reporters.
"Because we play tomorrow, it will be very close for that, but he has a big chance for the derby.
"Writing Bobby off is a big mistake because he recovers pretty quick... I would say 'Yes (there is a chance for Watford)', but I don't know if I would use that chance."
Klopp said leaders Liverpool, who have drawn three out of their last four games to allow champions Manchester City back into the title race, must focus on Watford and not get distracted by the clash with Everton on Sunday.
"I don't think at any time in the history of football a manager thinks about a Sunday game when they're playing on Wednesday. Watford is a difficult one, they are on a good run and they have different styles of play," the German added.
"Against the top six they don't have a lot of possession but they are a good counter-attacking threat, good from set pieces and second balls.
"It's different when they play other teams, they are much more proactive. We need to be ready for both."
Liverpool have 66 points from 27 games, one point more than second-placed City.

LONDON • The scoreline may give the impression Chelsea squeezed out a second successive Premier League win on their travels but, in reality, Maurizio Sarri's team may not enjoy too many away victories as comfortable as the one at Selhurst Park.
One flash of quality was all it took to claim the derby spoils and open up a five-point gap from fifth place as Chelsea eased to a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace yesterday.
The home team failed to muster a single shot on target all afternoon, never discovering whether the visitors were fragile or not.
It had been desperately humdrum until N'Golo Kante, his manager's half-time instructions presumably still ringing in his ears, injected some impetus early in the second half.
The Blues had been probing when the France midfielder took it upon himself to dart away from Cheikhou Kouyate, and between Patrick van Aanholt and Mamadou Sakho, to the edge of the box.
David Luiz's lofted pass was perfectly weighted, with Kante collecting on his chest and steering his close-range finish in beyond Vicente Guaita's outstretched hand.
It was a fine goal utterly out of character with everything mustered up to then, and plenty thereafter.
Kante, who is enjoying his most prolific league season with three goals, hailed his teammate's vision in picking him out, telling Sky Sports "it was all about the pass".
He said: "It is a move I have tried in training. It doesn't work many times, but David gave me a good ball and I am happy to score with my left foot and help the team win."
Sarri also lauded Kante for "improving with the right timing and good movement" despite having drawn criticism from pundits for moving him further forward to accommodate Jorginho at the base of midfield.
The Italian hinted to BBC Sport that he would next "work on Ross Barkley" before adding: "It was a difficult match. I am happy with the team because we dominated for 85 minutes, although we didn't kill the match, so we had to fight again for the last five minutes.
"We now need continuity because in the last five matches, we played very well in three, and badly in two. We have to play 19 matches, so other results are not important but it is crucial to have continuity."
