STARGODX: Jonas strikes deep in stoppage time to keep team on top

Jonas strikes deep in stoppage time to keep team on top

Benfica's prolific forwardJonasstruck in the third minute of addedtime to secure a dramatic 1-0 win at Boavista and keep them top of the Portuguese league on Sunday.The result - thanks to Jonas's 29thleague goal this season - was cruel on lowly Boavista who had dominated the second half and squandered several good chances.Benfica, chasing a third successive title in their first season under coach Rui Vitoria, lead the table with 67 points, two ahead of Sporting who thrashed Arouca 5-1 on Saturday.Porto are a further four points behind in third after beating VitoriaSetubal 1-0. Mattheus Oliveira, the 21-year-old son of former Brazil striker Bebeto, scored twice to give Estoril a 3-0 win at Academica Coimbra in another of Sunday's games.Raul Jimenez nearly gave Benfica a 15th minute lead with a bicycle kick which was turned away by goalkeeper Mika.But it was Boavista who looked more threatening as Benfica keeper Ederson struggled to hold Ruben Ribeiro's shot and Renato Santos fired across the face of goal early in the second half.Luisinho side-footed over after a move down the left, then Ribeiro turned Andre Almeida inside out as he ran at the Benfica defender, only to send his effort wide of the post.Benfica snatched the points when Carcela headed on Eliseu's long ball into the area and Jonas, recalled by Brazil this week after a four-year absence, drilled past an exasperated Mika."We needed a bit more creativity and we needed to be more lucid infinding the way to goal," said Vitoria. "But the champions need to have this belief and this determination."

John Terry slide tackles students as Chelsea defender kicks off tour of China

John Terry may have only been playing football with children, but that did not stoptheChelseadefender from putting in a slide tackle or two.The former England captain took part in a training session with students at Nanyang High School as part of a visit to China.Terry might have dribbled around cones, but he looked at his happiest putting his body on the line to win back the ball.The 35-year-old also took some time out tooffer guidance to the students, tapping into his years of Premier League experience.His visit seemed to be part of an event organised by Chelsea shirt sponsors Yokohama Tyres, who are a Japanese company.

Luiz Adriano Proves He Has More !!!!!!!

Another game, another underwhelming performance, another two points dropped. It has become a familiar occurrence forAC Milanof late after they extended their winless run to three games with a disappointing 1-1 drawat home toLazioon Sunday night.After going behind to a MarcoParoloheader inside nine minutes, theRossoneriresponded well, equalising just six minutes later through a neat CarlosBaccafinish.However, despite dominating the vast majority of the match and having a one-man advantage followingSenadLulic’s dismissal, they were unable to secure all three points.And in a weekend where all three of the teams directly above Milan in the race for third place—Inter Milan,Fiorentinaand AS Roma—dropped points, the draw was a particularly unsatisfactory outcome.After the match, Milan head coachSinisaMihajlovicadmitted his frustration at the display, telling Sky SportItalia(h/tFootballItalia):It’s another missed opportunity, we could’veclosed up two points fromFiorentinaand Inter. It’s the usual situation.We dominated the second half and created many chances, but if we don’t put it in the net, it becomes difficult to win.Compared to the last two games at least there was more effort and determination.We tried everything to win in any way possible, but we were unable to get the victory.However amid the doom and gloom, Milan strikerLuizAdriano managed to put in a positive individual performance.The 28-year-old has struggled to find frequent game time sincejoining the clublast summer fromShakhtarDonetskfor a £5.7 million fee, though his latest outing was promising.He won three aerial duels and made three key passes, perWhoScored.com, while causing trouble forLazio’s defensive line with his work rate, pace and aggression. Indeed, it was his intelligent hold-up play and lay-off that led toBaccascoring his first goal since 14 February.That assist from Luiz Adriano 🔴⚫️#MilanLazio#ForzaMilanpic.twitter.com/RcqfsNE5iJ— Deeg (@san_siro_1899)March 20, 2016The Colombian finisher, who is Milan’s top scorer this season, had gone four games without scoring. More notably, he had gone four games without having a single shot on target. It was a remarkable barren run for someone renowned for his nose forgoal and clinical touch.Thanks to Adriano’s assist, however, that run is over. And, furthermore,Mihajlovicmay have stumbled upon his new first-choice strike pairing.On 7 March, it was confirmed that M’BayeNiangwould missthe rest of this season as a result of injuries suffered in a car crash. The Frenchman’s unavailability left Milan with a headache in the form of a lackof attacking options.BehindBacca, Milan’s top scoring strikers are Adriano (three) and MarioBalotelli, who has hit just one goal since returning to the club at the start of the campaign. Yet, withNiangout,Mihajlovichas been forced to trial both strikers in an attempt tofind a workable duet.

Monaco hands PSG their first defeat !!!!!!!!!

On Sunday, Ligue 1 champions PSG hosted the league’s second-placed side Monaco in ahighly-anticipated game.Laurent Blanc’s crew took on the Les Rouge et Blanc on the back of their 9-0 thrashing of Troyes last Sunday, a win whichsecured Les Parisiens their fourth consecutive league crown.However, their weekend clash did not go as planned, as they fell to an unexpected 2-0 defeat in front of their own crowd.The Parc des Princes defeat was Ibrahimovic and Co.’s first home loss since May 2014, as the Swedish striker missed several opportunities to find theback of the net.It looks like the mega-rich European side will have to wait a while longer to celebrate winning the league with their supporters in true fashion.

Shearer and Murphy criticise Klopp

Danny Murphy and Alan Shearer criticisedLiverpoolmanager Jurgen Klopp for his public dressing down ofChristian Bentekeon the pitch at St Mary’s on Sunday.Benteke came off the bench during the second half of Liverpool’s collapse againstSouthampton on Sunday as they threw away a 2-0 lead at half-time to lose 3-2 to Ronald Koeman’s side.The Belgian bore the brunt of a lot of criticism in the aftermath of the match after he missed another clear chance when racing through on goal late on. Had he scored that opportunity instead of sending it wide Liverpool may well have closed out the game and won the three points, but his miss spurred the Saints on further.He was pulled aside by Klopp at the end ofthe game and it appeared the German had some strong words for the Belgian striker who walked off midway through the conversation, and both Shearer and Murphy felt he could have done that behind closed doors.“I understand that he’s not his player, I don’t think he fancies him. He didn’t sign him,” said Shearer on Match of the Day 2. “I understand all of that but I wouldn’t take too kindly if I was a player and he came on to the pitch in front of 32,000 and let his feelings be known.“No problem if he wants to give him a telling off, or whatever it is, but do it in the dressing room, in the four walls in front of the rest of the players, not in front of all the fans.”“I couldn’t agree more, If you’re going to give someone a telling off then do it inside,” Murphy added. “Sometimes he’s great Jurgen Klopp, he’s been a breath of fresh air but sometimes he’s overly animated on the touchline and it doesn’t always go down well with everyone.”Liverpool’s chances of finishing in the Champions League spots were hit by their defeat on Sunday as they now trail fourth place by seven points. Although they have a game in hand, clawing back that gap to overtake both Manchester clubs and West Ham seems a huge task with only nine games left to play.

Sol Campbell warns against rushing injured England players back for Euro 2016...

Sol Campbell believes it would be 'counter-productive' forEnglandto rush the likes of Jack Wilshere and Luke Shaw back for Euro 2016.This month's friendlies with Germany and Holland are the Three Lions' last matches before Roy Hodgson has to select his squad for this summer's tournament in France.Wilshere, Shaw and Wayne Rooney are among those absent from the squad through injury, although the latter is set to return from a knee complaint in April.Former England defender Campbell believes Rooney should be taken to France even if his progress is slower than hoped, but raised concerns over players such as Wilshere and Shaw.Arsenal midfielder Wilshere has not playedthis season and United left-back Shaw hasbeen absent since sustaining a double leg break in September.'On the question of Hodgson's striking options, if you accept that Rooney is fit then you have to take him,' Campbell, a blogger for Sportlobster.

United legend thinks Van Gaal failure would harm the club

Bryan Robson saysManchester United'sprestige is under threat if the club fails to win a trophy orqualify for Europe this season.United lie sixth in the Premier League, four points off the Champions League places with nine games remaining.They remain involved in the Europa League this season - outright victory in which would lead to a Champions League spot - but must overturn a 2-0 deficit in the second leg of their last-16 tie against Liverpool.They are also still in the FA Cup, with a quarter-final replay at West Ham their next assignmentin that competition.Old Trafford legend Robson feels if Louis van Gaal fails to either win a trophy this season, or secure European football for next year, that the club's reputation will be damaged."I think he needs to win something, or at least get Unitedinto Europe, that's the least we have to look at," Robson said at the launch of United's partnership with Gulf Oil International at the club's Carrington training center."Otherwise, it's a huge blow to the club's prestige."With Arsenal going out of the FA Cup, if I were manager of thisclub I would look at that now and think this is really do-able, we can win this trophy and we have to get the lads to believe that."Winning the FA Cup would be a huge boost to some of the squad who have never won a trophy with United, it would give them great self-belief which has been lacking a little this season. We won it in 1990, won the Cup Winners' Cup the next year and the title two years after that."Robson also gave his firm backing to Ryan Giggs as a potential replacement for Van Gaal, and would prefer him to take charge ahead of out-of-work former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho."The thing for me is that Van Gaal was always going to be a three-year contract with Ryan working under him so that they could see whether he was ready to step in," Robson said."Ryan was a great player for this club, he loves playing football the United way, he's done all his badges and for me he's in the right place at the right time."Giggs has been working alongside the much-traveled Van Gaal in what has been a difficult transition period for United following the retirement of Alex Ferguson, who had been in charge for 26 years, in 2013.And Robson insists, despite a tough baptism in the dug-out, Giggs has the credentials to revive his old club's fortunes."People say it's too big a challenge, too big a jump. But I don't agree. Look at Pep Guardiola, he came through the ranks at Barcelona as a player and then as a young coach and then they trusted him and he stepped up. He was tremendously successful," he added."It's the same with Ryan. He knows what this club is all aboutand the fans would be totally behind the club if they made that decision and totally behind Ryan."

Done deal: Chelsea announce Alex Davey has joined Norwegian club

The 2016 Norwegian football season has just begun and Davey will give Staebek manager Billy McKinlay options both in defence and midfield, with theclubconfirming the deal on Tuesday afternoon.Davey is primarily a centre-back but he canplay in midfield as well and is well thought of at Chelsea, having spent time on loan in the Football League.This will be a taste of top flight football and it will be interesting to see how the youngster copes with the move abroad.Of course there are many Chelsea players out on loan, over 30 at the moment, so Davey will have to work hard to impress but reports are suggesting that the club’s potential new manager Antonio Conte will be told to bring through more youngsters.Davey has won the FA Youth Cup with Chelsea, one of a many number of players to do so, but many of the club’s successful youngsters have found first-team opportunities hard to come by in recent seasons.Fans will be hoping that Conte can address this issue should he be appointed.Davey could make his debut for the club on the weekend against Molde, who are managed by former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Barcelona’s unsung hero

While Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar continue to take the headlines, Barcelona's Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic has also chipped in with four La Liga goals this season.

John Obi Mikel: I was shaking on my first day at Chelsea -

Chelsea signed a 19-year-old Mikel in 2006 before the Nigeriainternational went on to becomean increasingly important member of the Blues side underJose Mourinho, and was duly rewarded by being named as Chelsea's Young Player of the Year.The Portuguese's second spell in charge, however, saw Mikel fall down the pecking order before the arrival of Guus Hiddink in December saw the midfielder reintegrated into the starting line-up again - with the 28-year-old impressing since.With Mikel approaching his 10-year anniversary at the club, the midfielder has admitted arriving at the club as a youngster was a frightening experience for him because he felt he needed to earn the right to play alongside the likes of Chelsea captain John Terry and Blues legend Frank Lampard. Speaking in the latest edition of Chelsea magazine, Mikel said: "Icame into the dressing room that day literally shaking.I saw the players that were in there – the likes of John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Claude Makelele, Geremi, Michael Essien, Michael Ballack, Andriy Shevchenko – it was crazy. And I was just 19."I was shaking the whole day because I couldn’t talk to any of them. I didn’t know what to say to guys like that. They were really nice guys, but it was scary. "It can be tough coming into a dressing room like that as a younger player. You had to earn the right to be among them."

Omagbemi still missing at falcon

Supersport.com can report that Super Falcons caretaker coach, Florence Omagbemi continuing stay away from camp is as a result of her discomfort withthe designation as interim.The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Tuesday, February 16 named the former Falcons captain and defender as assistant coach to yet to be named expatriate together with her former teammates, Perpetua Nkwocha and Ann Agumanu-Chiejine. Omagbemi was however asked to take charge of the team in an interim capacity.The reigning African champions already have a date, Monday, April 04 to confront Senegal or Guinea in Abuja for a place in the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations (AWCON) in Cameroon while the reverse leg holds in fortnight.Omagbemi in absentia invited old and new 40 players to commence preparations for the AWCON qualifying matches.Falcons camp opened on Tuesday, March 01 in Abuja as the trio of Ann Agumanu-Chiejine, Perpetua Nkwocha and Bala Mohammed are in-charge of training with no clear word or clue when the interim coach, Omagbemi will hit camp.The NFF technical committee head, Barr Chris Green told supersport.com on Tuesday, March 01 that Omagbemi personally requested for two weeks to hitFalcons camp which he graciously granted her.Two-week down the line the former defensive midfielder is nowhere near Falcons camp as at Tuesday, March 15 and her expected arrival date has been more than a speculation.However, supersport.com source said the former Super Falcons strongwoman wants nothing short of a substantive coaching role for the seven-time African champions.“Omagbemi is not in camp exactly two weeks camp resumed in Abuja and may not be there soonest or even when she eventually arrives will still shuttle between Nigeria and her base in the United States.“Omagbemi has not hidden her dislike with the assistant or interim coach arrangement rather she wants to be named a substantive coach right away.“She feels strongly that she has what it takes to steer the ship and help Falcons regain her fearsome status in Africa and globe.“Her lobbyists share the same sentiment and are working tirelessly to ensure the federation cancels the idea of hiring an expatriate while they hand the side’s fortune to her.“So the excuse of her absence regarding her participation in the Fifa coaching programme in the USA is flimsy as the main reason is to create a scene that will force the federation to rescind their decision to employ a foreign coach,” saidthe unnamed source to supersport.com.Omagbemi’s pedigree as a coach has been her stint with some American youth teams. She was Falconets assistant coach to the 2012 Fifa U-20 Women’s World Cup in Japan where the side lost toUSA in the semifinals.The Nigeria Football Federation decision to name the former captain, Florence Omagbemi as acting Super Falcons coach elicited wide misgivings.
