1) Training One of Louis van Gaal’s defining traits as a manager is the emphasis he places on training: the Dutchman is meticulous and intense with his conditioning and preparation. As he grew older, Sir Alex Ferguson gradually favoured a less hands-on approach on the training pitch and this might explain the culture shock that some United players experienced last season under Van Gaal, who himself admitted his more demanding methods were taking their toll....

WWE still believes in Roman Reigns being the next top babyface of the company and seem to believe that at some point soon he will win his doubters over. It is also apparent that they believe the best way for this to happen is for Roman to defeat Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam. As much as I like Roman, I believe his time to convincingly defeat Brock has passed....

The faction was not kept together for a long time though as all the 3 superstars progressed in the singles division. However, WWE reformed the heel team of the Scottish Psychopath and the Lone Wolf on RAW and this team can prove to be the tag team that the RAW tag team division is need of. Drew McIntyre is a former RAW tag team champion in his own right while Corbin can prove to be a valuable addition to the stagnant division....

In the main event of UFC 259 on March 6, Blachowicz is looking for the first defence of his light heavyweight title when he battles middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya. It’s an intriguing matchup, and if Blachowicz wins, it would be a massive boost for the Pole. Ending Adesanya’s perfect record would add some hype behind his name. It will also help cement his legacy as a legit champion and one of the best light heavyweights of all-time....

His playmaking abilities and equally effective defending skills have helped the Bernabeu outfit on several occasions. The Croatian has been part of Real Madrid since 2012, and the 32-year-old has won several trophies for the Los Blancos. Modric has had a great season once again with Real Madrid, and with him also making it to the World Cup 2018 finals, the Croatian is a top contender to win the Ballon’dOr 2018....

After Dean’s heel turn on Seth Rollins on the night of Roman Reign’s announcement of Leukemia, it looked like The Shield is done and we would never see The Hounds together again. But recently, Dean Ambrose has been showing the signs of going back to his “lunatic” persona which can be a sign that WWE is planning yet another Shield reunion. This week on RAW, Roman Reigns made it clear that he wanted to reunite the Shield one last time before they all are no more around....

When George Orwell says something you just accept it as gospel. But I think we know someone who plays the game of cricket in that way, don’t we? On 5th November 1988, a superstar was born in Delhi. Yes, we are talking about Virat Kohli, the man who wears his heart on his sleeve, the man who plays every game as the last game of his life. Kohli never ceases to amaze us whether it’s with his masterful batting or with his awe-inspiring fielding....

Rodriguez, who took the fight on short notice after Sean Brady had to pull out with a foot infection, extended his impressive UFC record to 6-1. Unfortunately for Lee, his fortunes are headed in the opposite direction. He is now 2-5 in his last seven UFC fights and is nowhere near the fighter who was on a five-fight win streak back in June 2017. It’s back to the drawing board for Kevin Lee, who’s only 28 years old and is one of the more entertaining fighters on the roster....

However, their undefeated streak ended in a pretty dire manner at the hands of London rivals, Tottenham. The quality of performance even before the Tottenham defeat had reduced somewhat with narrow wins in the Europa League and the draw at Everton showing the gradual decline in performance. The defeat at Wembley may have just been considered a bad day at the office by players, fans and pundits alike. However, the laboured performance against Fulham and the subsequent defeat at Wolves are evidence of more deep-seated issues plaguing the Sarri revolution....

The event was full of drama, surprises, and highlights. Randy Orton’s screwdriver assault and Jeff’s death-defying leap will be forever etched in the hearts of wrestling fans. Even the return of Brock Lesnar amused a few of us. Hell is a Cell was definitely good. But was it the best PPV of the year? You will not be wrong if you think so. Here are three reasons why I think Hell in a Cell is the best PPV WWE has offered this year so far....

Before vacating the light heavyweight title in August 2020, Jones reigned over the 205-pound division for almost a decade. In order to prepare for this transition, ‘Bones’ has taken 2021 off to gain muscle mass and build his body up to compete with the heavyweight fighters. Despite rocky negotiations with the UFC brass over remuneration and his debut at heavyweight, it is more than likely that the former 205-pound champion’s debut in the new division will be for the title....

Mourinho is coming into the hot-seat at Spurs with his back against the wall; he was unceremoniously fired by Manchester United just under a year ago following a string of terrible results, and it’s perhaps fair to argue that he hasn’t been at his best in a long time. Also Read - 3 reasons why Jose Mourinho will succeed at Tottenham Hotspur Is Mourinho the right man to end Tottenham’s 11-year wait for a trophy?...

Mourinho, on the other hand, has been out of work since his sacking at Manchester United and returns to the dugout after one year in the wilderness, as a chance to manage a top-six club in the Premier League proved to be too much to turn down. The two-time Champions League-winning manager takes over the reins from Pochettino and will look to imprint his philosophy immediately, as Spurs aim to end their 11-year wait for a major trophy....

Juventus’s dominance doesn’t quite tell the entire story, however. The start of the season saw them churn out some really difficult wins against smaller opponents. They only found their groove at the start of October, and since then they have had some very dominant and effective displays against teams like Napoli and AC Milan. In Europe too, they have been excellent, apart from a 1-2 loss at home against Manchester United in a game they should have won by at least 3 clear goals....

We take a look at the three reasons why Lobi Stars can win the Nigerian Professional Football League this season; #1 Flawless start to the new campaign Lobi Stars haves started the 19-20 Nigerian Professional Football League in the best way possible. They’ve recorded 5 wins,1 draw and 1 loss. Since losing their first match of the season against runaway league leaders Plateau United, Lobi Stars are unbeaten in their last eight league matches....

As a result, Cricket Australia (CA) recently confirmed that BBL matches will be reduced from 61 to 43 in future seasons. The BBL has been played on a home-and-away schedule since 2018-19, with each side playing 14 matches in the tournament that goes on for nearly two months. However, declining interest among crowds and unimpressive TV ratings, as well as overseas players’ reluctance to play the full competition, are being seen as some of the reasons behind the move to reduce the number of games....

The Reds ran over Spurs, and they were as dead as doornails by the time Liverpool were done hammering them. Tottenham are a strong side, but they were clearly lacking concentration, especially their midfielders and fullbacks, as their silly passes and miserable touches cost them an important 3 points. Liverpool go 3 points clear, though Spurs looked like they were ready for a comeback after Lamela’s terrific finish, beating two defenders and Allison to hit the back of the net....

Another thing it can’t seem to avoid are injuries and health scares, there’s like this regularity during the waning months of the year for the company’s performers to fall ill. At the same time, it seems like the horrific 2016 injury crisis during the road to WrestleMania might see a repeat this year, with big names set to just about make it on time if at all. In all of this, injuries and sickness come off as something that cannot unfortunately be avoided....

We all had speculated something like this, but despite all the push that WWE has given to the women’s division, or it says it has the women’s division is still not as good as the men’s division. A lot of us may agree and disagree with the statement but let’s understand the fact that the WWE hasn’t been able to put the women’s revolution to the position it rightfully deserves and the WWE women need more emphasis...

However, with Beckham becoming available, the Patriots may have been stimulated into thinking about additions. With Beckham reportedly considering teams other than the Patriots, the team needs to think about a future without Odell Beckham Jr. Not nabbing Beckham would be a loss for the Patriots. However, it could be seen as a push for the front office to sign someone since they’re already possibly contemplating making a move as a result of Beckham being available....
