Dudamel, who becomes the 12th foreign manager to take charge of the Belo Horizonte side, coached Venezuela for almost four years and worked with the country’s Under-20 and Under-17 sides. Dudamel’s excellent work done in Venezuela caught the eye of Atletico, who were looking for a coach with a successful history of working with youngsters," Atletico said in a statement.
Even if you are not a neutral, you are pulling for Atalanta because you want to play them in the next round. This one of those strange pairings that happen," says Honigstein. If you are a club like Manchester City or Real Madrid, you are thinking the next game could be easier than the last 16 game. This is a game people might look at with ulterior motives, Atalanta being a newbie, the Cinderella story and playing exciting football.
Manchester City travel to Wembley to face Aston Villa on Sunday in their fifth League Cup final in the last seven seasons. The Blues have won all of the previous four finals; twice under previous manager Manuel Pellegrini and in the last two seasons under Pep Guardiola. In those finals, 33 different players have represented the club - either from the start or from the bench. How many of them do you think you can name?You've got five minutes.
I find odds for the over 2 goals quite decent ones as Energetik after starting the season with 3 wins from their opening 3 games in the league they followed with 3 losses in a row while right now they have 4 wins in a row and are really just one point behind the league leaders from BATE which they beat in round 1 at home with no less than 3-1 in the end and they also have the tendency to receive a lot of penalty kicks so far this season which are usually converted into goals, they are also good in defense but not incredible.
I think it's a great time to be a supporter of Boston United," boss Craig Elliott told Lincolnshire Live. There are a lot of big games and, off the pitch, the new stadium is looking fantastic. I'm excited as a manager and I'm sure the supporters are the same. Boston have won four away ties to reach the second round and a shock win at Rochdale, who play three divisions higher in League One, could give them an opportunity to play one last FA Cup tie at York Street - their home since 1933 - before they leave.
We predict that Friday's meeting of these two in-form sides is likely to see goals scored at both ends. Union Berlin have failed to score in just one of their last seven Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, Schalke have failed to score in just two of their last 10 Bundesliga fixtures.
Well to be honest I do not know why the bookies underestimated Emmen so much cause at home they are very strong squad and most of their overall points is from games at home and surely they are going to chase another Victory today and on the other side Heracles is average team from the middle of the table and they could preety much lose from anyone and they confirmed that by losing from a rkc worst team in the league 2 0 on the road and that was not even a big surprise so I surely take this Odd or even
She takes on Simona Halep for a place in the final of the Australian Open. Both players have been world number one at some point in their careers but Muguruza has slipped down the rankings to 32 and lost in the first round of two Grand Slam events last year. The Spaniard has previously shown good form in this tournament reaching the fourth round last year and the last eight in 2017.
Brighton and Hove Albion are 15th in the Premier League, two places and five points behind opponents Crystal Palace. This is regarded as a Derby match even though there is a fair distance between the two clubs. The fans are going to be really up for this game and the players need to be too. Brighton could do with a win to put more points between them and the relegation zone.
The Daily Telegraph say Inter are going to reject the chance to extend the loan, meaning Sanchez will return to United with two years left on his contract, which can be worth up to £500,000-a-week when bonuses are factored in. Paper Round’s view: Like Coutinho, Sanchez hasn’t been the same since a high-profile move in January 2018.

Defensively, both teams have floundered, so a low-scoring game seems unlikely, but it is the hosts who stand out as likely winners, or at least more likely than the current prices suggest. Last time out at this venue, Benfica got the better of a very useful Lyon side. On that occasion, they were clinical, which bodes well ahead of a game against a Zenit side that has given plenty away on the road. In Russia, Zenit are very tough to face but it's well known that they don't travel well. They can make their presence felt offensively on Tuesday, but their defensive exploits, especially when losing away to Leipzig, point towards them struggling.
Rodriguez scored again after the break and Ricky Jade-Jones added a second for Peterborough late on. In what was the first FA Cup meeting between the two sides, Sean Dyche made eight changes to the Burnley side that lost to Aston Villa on New Year's Day, but their experience still shone against Darren Ferguson's team, who are sixth in League One despite winning only one of their past six matches.
Kasimpasa defeated Kayserispor at home with an impressive 5-1 last Sunday. Three series unbeaten racing that remains within the danger zone but now looks visibly improved and capable of earning its place.
The boards of the European Club Association and the European Leagues, and a representative of world players' union Fifpro have also been invited and discussions will cover all domestic and European competitions, including the possible postponement of Euro 2020 by one year. The Italian Football Federation had previously said the Serie A season may not be completed and offered alternatives including play-offs, not having a champion for 2019-20 or declaring the current standings final.
The Australia star then sent Guro Reiten through on goal and while Zinsberger was able to again keep the Blues out, Arsenal failed to deal with a deep cross from the left that was headed back inside by Mjelde for England to finish moments later. Arsenal were unrelenting but ultimately unsuccessful in search of a first-half response, with Berger clawing a brilliant header from Quinn away before saving from Nobbs and Miedema.
He will become the 20th Brazilian player to represent Lyon, following in the footsteps of Giovane Elber, Juninho and Fred among others. Rudi Garcia's Lyon are fifth in Ligue 1 with 32 points from 21 games. They will take on OGC Nice in the last 16 of the French Cup later on Thursday before visiting the same team in the league three days later.
With just one win from their last six matches in all competitions, these are nervy times for Atletico Madrid who face the ultimate test this Sunday night at Wanda Metropolitano in the shape of champions Barcelona.
GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!! Aston Villa 3-0 Liverpool. Kodjia races clear to make it three for Villa. Slack defending from Liverpool as they fail to get the ball clear, Jota pokes the loose ball through for Kodjia, who strides clear and slots the ball home for his first of the season.

Hull City is number 21 in the table. They played 37 games and won 41 points with a goal difference of 49:63. At home, they have a record of 6-3-10 with a goal difference of 27:33. They have three defeats in the last three rounds.
I got chatting to a Norwegian from Trondheim. I asked him if he was a Rosenburg fan, to which he replied, "yes". I asked him if he went to games often and he replied, "I'm actually the Rosenburg manager". So instead of getting tickets to the Brazil game, we got tickets for the game against Norway. I met Joe Jordan who signed the team sheet for me. We also got to meet the full Rosenborg team and the president.
Same as normal really. Oh well. At least it was a memorable occasion for Odion Ighalo, though. United’s most recent attacking acquisition arrived to decidedly less fanfare than Rooney did back in the summer of 2004. Sitting through a period of quarantine to prevent coronavirus transmission as you join on a short-term deal from China cannot realistically compare to joining United as the world’s most expensive teenager, on a six-year deal, after tearing an international tournament to shreds to earn comparisons to Pele.
The club sits 17th in the English Premier League, three points above the relegation zone, and Hasenhuettl said there were issues with the squad during the off-season. We will be active (in January), that's for sure," Hasenhuettl told reporters ahead of Thursday's league trip to Chelsea. We had issues in the summer - the balance of the team is not 100% what it should be.
The first thing he thinks about is Wales, then golf and after that, Real Madrid. Gareth Bale has been criticised in Spain for prioritising playing for Wales - and finding time for a quick 18 holes - over turning out for his club Real Madrid, and the forward certainly enjoyed himself after helping his country to the finals of Euro 2020. Bale set up Aaron Ramsey's opener against Hungary and excelled throughout as Wales reached their third major tournament.
While Fernandes was lively, Martial was catatonic. The French striker failed to run the channels to move defenders out of the way for other players, or to offer an outlet for long or through balls. At the same time, he completely failed to hold the ball up with his back to goal. He bought a couple of free kicks with neat spins around markers, but for the most part the ball bounced off him or he simply released it to the opposition.

Meanwhile, North Macedonia's federation said it had written to UEFA asking for a postponement of its team's Euro 2020 playoff match at home to Kosovo on March 26. Besides a government ban on spectators, the federation said there was a potential problem with players arriving from countries in a high-risk zone being ordered into quarantine.
Tottenham secured a 2-1 win as they edged past Middlesbrough in a keenly-contested FA Cup third round replay. See alsoTottenham Hotspur v Middlesbrough: As it happened Jose Mourinho's men got off to a flyer when an error by visiting goalkeeper, Tomas Mejias allowed Giovani Lo Celso to seize possession and fire home inside two minutes.
They won 11 of 14 games and finished six points behind champions Aston Villa, who were awarded the title on a points-per-game basis following the early termination of the season because of the coronavirus pandemic. Players were led to believe that Ward would remain at the club for the start of the 2020-21 season after having talks about pre-season and plans for recruitment with her days before her departure.
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder signed a new contract with his current club which reduces his release clause from 70 million euros to 30 million euros, and he will sign a deal when he turns 18 to make sure Real Madrid do not break any regulations. Reinier will join the Castilla side instead of the first team.
Aston Villa got a big win at Burnley last time out in the Premier League but this is a completely different task for them. Danny Drinkwater will boost Villa's midfield after joining from Chelsea on loan, but I still cannot see any further than a City win. Lawro's prediction: 0-3Hugh's prediction: 0-6Matthew's prediction: 1-4How did Lawro do last week?In the FA Cup third round, Lawro got 20 correct results out of the 32 ties, including six exact scores.
Carlos Gamarra, the former captain of Paraguay's national team who also played for several Brazilian clubs, visited Ronaldinho with a group of ex-players in jail on Sunday. Vera said others who were at the regular Sunday visiting time befriended the Brazilian. There was also a group of boys and girls and he welcomed them, gave them hugs and chatted with them," he said.
Explosiveness and attacking swagger has characterised the bulk of Rooney's career, but this was a display embodied by poise, temperament and guile. When tempers frayed between both sets of players after a clash between Huddlestone and Milivojevic in the second half, it was telling that Rooney tried to intervene as peacemaker.
But while we expect United to both score and concede again this weekend, our correct score prediction tips Chris Wilder's men to eventually emerge as 2-1 victors. Villa are winless in four Premier League games on the road, and they conceded exactly two goals in the most recent three of those contests.
But Luiz, prone to questionable decision-making, only confirmed his manager's decision to leave him out initially had been for the best. Failure to clear the ball properly led to Sterling's opener - the ball bouncing off Luiz's knee from De Bruyne's pass, landing straight into the path of the City forward. And Luiz completed a dreadful night four minutes into the second half when he tugged Mahrez's shirt with no intention to play the ball, giving away a penalty and receiving a red card.
Bournemouth, at their best, are pleasing on the eye and can pull off the occasional shock as they did in winning at Chelsea in December, but too often they are simply too soft and too easy to score against. And in their first game since the resumption of the Premier League, Bournemouth looked the same old side, one destined for relegation. Howe has had long enough to solve the issues Bournemouth have faced but this game once again illustrated the problems he has failed to solve.
Just two minutes after the restart, the 37-year-old flicked a pass from Ojo into the path of the on-rushing Arfield, who toe-poked the ball home to double Rangers' lead. Defoe had his 17th goal and his first assist of the season but, 12 minutes later, the Rangers forward pulled up after chasing a through ball, forcing Gerrard to bring on Aribo in his place.
Manchester United fans, meanwhile, have had to endure another spell plagued by injuries and poor form this season. Their recent wins over Norwich and Brighton have boosted confidence a little, but a tally of just 16 points from 12 games illustrates just how far off the pace they have been this term.
This week the French league continues with many exciting matches, including the confrontation between Montpellier vs Dijon. Objectively assessed, Montpellier is showing a high performance . With 4 consecutive victories in every arena, the host is making fans extremely satisfied. Montpellier has returned to the top 6 in Ligue 1 with 30 points earned and the opportunity for them to compete in the top 4 is still. With home advantage, Montpellier is still a team that is more appreciated than Dijon in this match. However, Montpellier was unable to win any of the previous 6 encounters with Dijon. That said their opponent is not a simple team.

He also led Juventus to two Champions League finals, losing to Barcelona in 2015 and Real Madrid in 2017. Allegri, who won a Serie A title with AC Milan as well, has never worked outside Italy before. I have heard Allegri mentioned," said Seaman. He still has problems with the English language and that is another problem that Emery had. The way he came over and in the press, I used to see him on the sidelines when he was waving his arms and shouting and not many players were looking at him.
