Germany Players To Earn 350,000 euros ($411,267) Bonus Should They Defend Their World Cup Title In Russia 2018.

13 December 0

The German Football Association (DFB) on Wednesday announced that each player of the national team will receive a 350,000 euros ($411,267) bonus should Germany defend their World Cup title in Russia 2018.
Joachim Loew and his squad stand to get an increase in prize money from the 300,000 euros they each got for winning the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil, if the Germans win a fifth world title.
“For our players, it is a great motivation to become world champions back-to-back for the first time in the history of German football,” said DFB president Reinhard Grindel.
“That would be a title for the eternity and certainly worth a special bonus.
“But you can feel in this team, that the sporting challenge is the main focus and not the economic aspect.
“The cash rises to 125,000 euros for the semi-finals, 150,000 for third place and 200,000 if they lose the final on July 15 at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium.”
Germany kick off their 2018 defence against Mexico on June 17 in Moscow having also drawn Sweden and South Korea in Group F.

‘Manchester United Defeat Affected Us’- Arsenal Boss Wenger Speaks After 1-1 Draw Against Southampton

11 December 0
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said his side’s slow start in games is becoming a problem, after they scraped a draw against Southampton.
Substitute Olivier Giroud glanced in a superb late header to salvage a point after the Gunners had trailed since the third minute.
“In the last two weeks unfortunately we are losing points after a bad start,” said Wenger, who saw his side concede twice in the first 11 minutes of the 3-1 defeat by Manchester United eight days previously.
“I felt the Manchester United game played a bit of a part in the head of our defenders,” he said.
“They were a bit apprehensive to start well again and that’s why it is sometimes not good to talk about the problem because you create a bigger one.”
Charlie Austin clipped home an early opener for the home side with the away defence mere onlookers.
The Southampton striker drilled a stinging shot into Petr Cech’s gloves shortly after, then hit the post from an offside position.
A sharp save from Aaron Ramsey apart, Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster had little to do as the visitors struggled to carve out clear-cut chances before Giroud climbed above Virgil van Dijk to steer home Alexis Sanchez’s cross and make Arsenal’s possession finally pay.

Jose Mourinho involved in a dressing-room clash with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson after Manchester United's derby defeat.

10 December 0

Jose Mourinho was involved in a dressing-room clash with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson after Manchester United's derby defeat.
The United boss is said to have had milk and water thrown at him as tempers flared following his side's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford, but this claim is refuted by City chiefs.
Sources claim Mourinho went to the door of the away dressing-room to ask City's players to tone down their jubilant celebrations.
City's Brazilian keeper Ederson and Mourinho are then said to have shouted at each other in Portuguese before the situation was defused.
Sources who witnessed the altercation said there was a lot of shouting and a rush of people towards the door of the away dressing-room when the episode occurred, with staff from both sides involved.
United striker Romelu Lukaku was also said to be involved in the incident, along with goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro.
Up to 20 people became embroiled in the fracas which occurred in the narrow tunnel outside the away dressing-room.
A police officer is stationed outside the dressing-rooms on matchdays and it is understood police and stewards intervened to break up the melee.
The episode echoed the Battle of Buffet at Old Trafford back in 2004, when Sir Alex Ferguson was pelted with pizza following United's 2-0 win over Arsenal, which ended the Gunners' 49-match unbeaten run.
City’s win at Old Trafford meant they have extended their lead over their neighbours in the Premier League to 11 points, to leave the Red Devils’ title challenge in jeopardy.
David Silva opened the scoring for Pep Guardiola’s side in the 43rd minute, with Marcus Rashford pulling a goal back in first-half stoppage time.
Nicolas Otamendi poked home the winning goal nine minutes after the break to hand Guardiola another win over his managerial adversary.

Sam Allardyce Lands Great Managerial Deal After Controversial England Dismiss

29 November 0
Everton have finally ended their wait for a new manager, with the appointment of Sam Allardyce.
The Toffees have announced the appointment of the former England boss, more than six weeks after the dismissal of Ronald Koeman.
Allardyce, 63, has put pen-to-paper on an 18-month deal, worth £9million, meaning he will earn more than the likes of Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone, Juventus manager Max Allegri, PSG chief Unai Emery and even Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.
The Blues' principal shareholder Farhad Moshiri and director of football Steve Walsh were involved in intense negotiations with the former England manager’s representatives in London on Tuesday.
He's set to be formally unveiled at Goodison Park ahead of tonight's game against fellow strugglers West Ham, before taking charge against Huddersfield at the weekend
Moshiri first held talks with survival specialist Allardyce — who has joined Sunderland and Crystal Palace mid-season in the last two campaigns and kept both up — three weeks ago.
Those negotiations broke down because the Blues wanted to offer a contract only until the end of the season as they looked for a younger more glamorous option in the long term.
Big Sam walked away from any deal, suggesting the Blues simply "didn’t want him enough”.
However, the club re-opened talks with the former England boss after Sunday's humiliating 4-1 defeat to Southampton, which leaves them staring relegation in the face, with Moshiri backing a man he has hailed as "a strong leader".
"I really want to give him the support he needs," said the Toffees owner. "He can go as far as he wants.
"We need a strong leader, he gives us that.
Allardyce has elected to bring in former Liverpool assistant Sammy Lee, with whom he also worked at Bolton, Palace and England.
Ex-Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare, goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson and fitness coach Ryland Morgan are also set to join.
Moshiri had initially been determined to find a high-profile young manager when he sacked Koeman almost six weeks ago, but that search was significantly adapted as a series of humiliating defeats has brought the Merseyside club to crisis point.
In the end, the owner saw his choice as a stark, simple one: Find a manager who can stop the rot and steer clear of the drop.
Allardyce fits that bill to perfection after performing the near-impossible feat at Crystal Palace last season, and the year before that with Sunderland.
The Everton owner had also spoken to Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill, and Paulo Fonseca of Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk.
