He creates systems to have one-on-one situations and it s the system where I can flourish the most.

Injuries have blighted Coman s career in recent years and he only returned in February from a two-month absence due to a knee problem.
A thigh injury then meant Coman missed Bayern s three games before their campaign was halted by the suspension of competitions due to the spread of coronavirus.
The Bundesliga is eyeing a return to action in early May and Bayern s players were back training in small groups this week, much to Coman s delight.
We had not touched a ball on a football pitch for almost a month and even if we re split …

Barcelona have announced they have reached an agreement to sign Sevilla defender Jules Kounde, with the Blaugrana seeing off competition from Chelsea.

Messi has sensationally told Barca he wants to leave the club, where the six-time Ballon d Or winner has spent his entire professional career.
Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter have been most strongly linked with moves for the 33-year-old.
Others have suggested Messi could join Ronaldo in Turin to bring together the two best players of the modern day, but Cuadrado would be surprised if such a move happened.
I can t imagine it at all. The truth is that I don t, he told ESPN Nexo on Thursday.
Cuadrado added: Just like with Cristiano, many people did not believe and suddenly he arrived.
Juve are prepar…

They finished fifth last season, 22 points adrift of champions Manchester City but Robertson welcomed the clean slate.
“It’s a new start. We’ve got a lot of new players, kind of…
Manchester United make the trip to Leicester City on Thursday on the back of successive Premier League victories, coinciding with captain Harry Maguire dropping out of the side.
Already under pressure in some quarters following chastening defeats to Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford in his first two games in the job, Erik ten Hag made the bold call to drop his skipper – as well as star forward Cristiano Ronaldo – for the subsequent wins over Liverpool and Southampton.
After claiming six points from six and letting in just one goal across those two matches, compared to six conceded in their first two outings, Ten Hag has no real reason to integrate Maguire back into his starting line-up for the King Power Stadium clash.
With Maguire set for a watching br…

Chelsea are ready to sell Noni Madueke in the January transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners are looking to offload a number of players in the middle of the season to raise funds to sign a striker, and Madueke is among those who could be sacrificed.
