Football: Klopp, Guardiola would back players leaving pitch over racist abuse

LONDON (REUTERS) - Juergen Klopp and Pep Guardiola are both willing to halt matches if players are subject to racist abuse, the like of which experienced by some England players in Montenegro this week.
Uefa has opened an investigation after England players Danny Rose, Raheem Sterling and Callum Hudson-Odoi said they were victims of the abuse during their 5-1 win in Podgorica.
Liverpool manager Klopp believes a walk off because of a minority of supporters would give "too much power for one or two idiots", but said the decision should be down to match officials if abuse escalated.
"If it's the whole stand I would do it, 100 per cent," Klopp told reporters ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
"But it's too much power for one or two idiots. We have to find ways to punish these incidents.
"It's not that the coaches should do that - match officials - because if I take the players off and they say it was not that serious, you lose the game, our job is to win football games."
Guardiola is also in favour of taking his Manchester City players off the pitch, adding football should try and set an example for action against racism.

 
 
 
"We could do that (walk off)," the Spaniard added.
"Football is a strong weapon to defend the principles of humanity. People said you can't mix football and politics but that's not true.
"It's not a football problem, it's society itself. I think in Europe, not in football, it's getting worse."
The Football Association Board met on Thursday to discuss the incidents in Montenegro and called on a structured campaign within Uefa and Fifa to ensure that incidents such as this are dealt with appropriately.
The Board also agreed that there should be more transparency on FA charges going forward when clubs are found to be in breach of the rules following such incidents in the domestic game.
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, meanwhile, wants the sport's governing bodies to introduce clear guidelines to stop matches in order to combat racist abuse.
"We need a rule, I think. A rule for the Premier League, but for all the championships across football. A rule that can permit us to stop the match," Sarri said.

Spain wasteful but Enrique happy with chances created

Spain wasteful but Enrique happy with chances created

VALENCIA • Spain coach Luis Enrique has played down his team's profligacy in their Euro 2020 opening qualifier against Norway by taking solace in how many chances they created at the Mestalla.
National daily AS was far from bowled over by the 2-1 win on Saturday, labelling the display as an "improvement without the finishing touch".
La Roja had 11 shots on target with another 15 failing to test the opposition goalkeeper, but the home team's dominance - they had 75 per cent of the ball - could not prevent their opponents, who had just two shots on target, from equalising through Joshua King's penalty.
However, Enrique was still encouraged as his team, who ground out the victory with goals from Rodrigo and skipper Sergio Ramos' "Panenka" spot kick, had done "the difficult thing (which) is to create the chances".
He told reporters post-game: "I was a striker and I know that if the chances are being created, then the goals come."
No player was more wasteful than Alvaro Morata, who squandered a number of opportunities to put the game to bed in both halves.
Enrique defended the much-maligned striker as a player reborn since his loan move to Atletico Madrid from Chelsea in January, before praising his "best game since he has been with the Spain team".

POSITIVE START
A new road starts and what better way than to start winning against an opponent that has made it complicated despite the fact that we had the ball?
SERGIO RAMOS, Spain captain, who scored the penalty to beat Norway 2-1 after the visitors had equalised.

He said: "Morata, along with the other forwards Marco (Asensio) and Rodrigo, have been spectacular because of the work they put in.
"Morata looks much better in terms of confidence. He always has a good attitude, but he looks more confident. He was key for us at the end holding the ball up."
While Spain are expected to ease past Malta, Enrique urged his players to step up as they travel to the Group F minnows tomorrow.
He added: "We need to improve in terms of defending counter-attacks and pressing the ball but, no matter how much you improve, you will always give the team one or two chances, that's football."
And, despite Enrique's backing, Morata could find himself on the bench with Jaime Mata pushing for a first start.
The Getafe striker, who is the top Spanish scorer in LaLiga this season with 13 goals, has played an integral role in his fourth-placed side's unlikely push for a Champions League spot.
Mata replaced Morata in the last minute of the meeting with Norway and, after making his international debut, the 30-year-old is keen to seize his opportunity to be the panacea to the team's scoring woes.
He said: "It's a dream to make my debut, but now I have to work hard to make sure I stay in the team."

'Electric' Sterling has boss purring

'Electric' Sterling has boss purring

LONDON • When Raheem Sterling grew up within the shadow of Wembley, he would ride around on his bike marvelling at the gleaming stadium, dreaming of playing there.
He even has a tattoo of him as a young boy staring up in awe at the arch. Life now imitates artwork and Wembley now marvels at him.
The 24-year-old scored not one but three goals in the 5-0 demolition of the Czech Republic on Friday - the first England player to notch a hat-trick at the national stadium since Jermain Defoe against Bulgaria in 2010.
It was the perfect exhibition of Sterling's myriad talents and gave England the ideal start in qualifying for Euro 2020.
Perhaps most encouragingly of all, is evidence that he is finally transferring his Manchester City form onto the international stage.
England manager Gareth Southgate praised the forward's "devastating" performance and the manner in which he has turned around his international career, after going three years and 27 appearances without a goal.

• 
  

  5

  
  


• 
  Goals Raheem Sterling has scored in his last three games for England. He had not managed a single goal in his previous 27 appearances.
  

"Raheem was brilliant, electric all night," Southgate said.
"He's in a really confident moment, not only on the field but off the field he's so mature and comfortable in himself.
"So I'm delighted for him to get the reaction that he did from the crowd. We can't hide from the fact he's had difficult moments with England and he's turned that full circle.
"The goals in Spain (two goals in a Nations League win in October) were an important moment for him; you could see the release that had brought. He's hungry for those goals and I thought he was devastating tonight."
Sterling's efficiency on the pitch was so good that he had 96 per cent passing accuracy, and his three shots brought all three goals alongside a Harry Kane penalty - which he won - and a Tomas Kalas own goal.
But it was not simply his pace and persistence that opened up the Czechs time and again. It was the intelligence that defined his involvement, his awareness of opportunity and ruthlessness in exploiting chances, shredding the visitors' defence.
His latest performance was just another reminder why Southgate believes it is between Sterling or Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk to win the individual awards as the Premier League's outstanding player this season.
Not that Sterling was the only player in England's colours to excel, though.
The Three Lions finished the night with Jadon Sancho and Callum Hudson-Odoi, making his debut as a second-half substitute, with both 18-year-olds menacing their opponents from the wings.
Declan Rice, who switched allegiance from Ireland only earlier this month, also earned his first international cap in the second half.
"To finish with two young wingers was really exciting," added Southgate.
"They don't feel inhibited around the camp, so they don't feel inhibited on the pitch and you could see that by the way they played.
"I thought Jadon made a really good contribution for the first goal. Callum had an opportunity to play with the freedom he's shown all week, and I thought he displayed that."
England, following an impressive semi-final run at last year's World Cup, are indeed looking promising with this young side.
When the Mexican wave started at Wembley it was not one of those occasions when it felt as if the crowd were trying to make their own entertainment.
They were well and truly entertained, and will be looking for more of the same kind of performance from Sterling and Co when England travel to Montenegro for their second qualifier tomorrow.

Football: Dogged Argentina hold Japan to goalless draw in women's World Cup

Football: Dogged Argentina hold Japan to goalless draw in women's World Cup

PARIS (AFP) -  Japan failed to break down a determined and well-organised Argentine defence in Paris on Monday (June 10) in the first goalless draw of the Women's World Cup.
Japan, finalists in 2015 and winners in 2011, enjoyed almost two thirds of possession in front of a crowd of 25,000, but only forced two saves from goalkeeper Vanina Correa.
Argentina's women, who have never won a match at the World Cup, managed three tame late strikes, none of which tested Ayaka Yamashita.
The result, which earned Argentina's women their very first point in a World Cup, leaves both teams on one point in Group D, behind England who beat Scotland on Sunday (June 9).
When the whistle blew at Paris Saint-Germain's Parc des Princes stadium Argentina's substitutes jumped off the bench to join the players on the pitch at finally getting a point on the World Cup board at the seventh attempt.
"This point is really important for us. I think we're able to reflect upon what Argentina is and what it means as a team," said Estefania Banini, Argentina's captain who was voted player of the match.
"We weren't good enough to break down Argentina's defence today," said Asako Takakura, the Japan coach.
Argentina came out to defend with a back four pressing high up the field, the midfield quartet forming a screen a few yards in front and attacker Banini dropping back to fill the gaps.
It worked.
"Basically we couldn't play any other way against this team," said Carlos Borrello, the Argentina manager.
"We had to keep ourselves back and focused, and be very, very organised with that sort of attitude to come out with a counter-attack. It was satisfying to gain a point in this World Cup." Japan managed only two shots in the first half, neither close to the goal. But Argentina did not attempt any.
When Japanese goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita came out to collect a high and hopeful cross after 40 minutes, the crowd roared.
Banini, short, left-footed and wearing number 10, has inevitably been dubbed the female Lionel Messi, but in build and manner she more closely resembles another left-footed Argentine 10, Diego Maradona.
She was tenacious both with and without the ball and both first-half yellow cards were for rough Japanese challenges on the Argentine captain.
Japan played with more urgency in the second half, pushing Argentina back.
"We don't set out to be defensive against any team," said Takakura. "Of course we have to keep a very solid defence but we don't want to play defensive football. It wasn't in our mindset at all. But the players were cautious today.

 
"In the second half, they realised they had to be more offensive - so their tempo was faster and they attempted more shots at goal." After 50 minutes, Kumi Yokoyama's drive from 35 metres drew a sprawling save from Vanina Correa. The ball ran to Yuki Sugasawa who blasted over from close range.
Then a clever Japanese move gave Yui Hasegawa a shooting chance near the penalty spot but she sliced wide.
As Japan pressed, Argentina had more chances to counter attack. Banini tormented the Japanese defenders with jinking runs, but could not create a clear chance. Argentina were credited with five goal attempts, all in the last 20 minutes, but none were dangerous.
Since the group stage only eliminates eight of the 24 teams, the draw leaves Japan and Argentina needing one victory in their next two games. Both will need to find a way to score.
"We've still got two teams to face and they're going to be really competitive," said Banini. "We have to play really intelligent, compact football and become a really compact team and I think that we can progress.
"We believe that we can continue fighting and we can get more points and not go home with just one." Later Monday Canada face Cameroon in Group E.

Ikhsan and Irfan on target for overseas clubs

Ikhsan and Irfan on target for overseas clubs
The Fandi brothers are proving their fine vein of form is no fluke, as both scored in midweek for their respective clubs again.
In Norway, Ikhsan Fandi scored his second league goal for second-tier Raufoss IL in a 5-2 home defeat by Sandnes Ulf on Thursday night.
Ikhsan, a substitute in all his previous six appearances, scored via a towering header in the 89th minute. Last Sunday, the 20-year-old scored his first competitive goal with a late bicycle-kick winner in their 3-2 victory at Skeid.
The striker's two goals have come from just 127 minutes of action.
Raufoss are sixth in the 16-team league and occupy the last of the four play-off places, with the top two guaranteed promotion to the top division.
Ikhsan told The Straits Times: "Yes I'm happy to score again, but we are disappointed not to get any points from this game.
"Scoring in back-to-back games shows I can do well at this level. If I can get more than 10 this season, it will be a very good tally."
In Thailand, his older brother Irfan, 21, grabbed his fourth goal in 13 games in all competitions as BG Pathum United beat Chiangmai 3-0 to advance to the last 16 in the League Cup.
The defender scored in the 75th minute and helped the second-tier team to a clean sheet, his seventh this term, in scalping their top-division opponents on Wednesday.
He also scored in the 4-1 extra-time win over Army United in the previous round last month. With 31 points from 12 games, BG Pathum top League 2 and are on course for a swift return to the top tier.

Real struggle for Zizou to lift uninspired team

Real struggle for Zizou to lift uninspired team
MADRID • Zinedine Zidane urged his Real Madrid side to "give a little more" as Karim Benzema's goal was enough only for a 1-1 LaLiga underwhelming draw at Leganes.
Real have 61 points, 13 points adrift of leaders Barcelona, with Zidane's second reign as coach now delivering three wins, one defeat and a draw. They are four points behind Atletico Madrid (65) and finishing second, and above their city rivals, appears unlikely.
"It looks like we do not have much confidence," Zidane said. "We can play better, we must play better. The first half was not so good, the second a bit better.
"Even if this might have been a bad season, we must all give a bit more."
He was asked last month about the humiliation of playing on a Monday night, the time typically reserved for LaLiga's sides not involved in European competitions and so unpopular that it will be abolished next season.
Most of the Frenchman's press conferences have so far been dominated by questions about his players' futures and on this evidence, few will be feeling secure.
Benzema has been, by a distance, Real's most consistent player this season and he showed again why Zidane has already said the striker will stay.
Leganes might even have won it after Jonathan Silva gave them the lead shortly before half-time and while Benzema scored his 26th goal of the season, Real never looked like finding a winner.
Gareth Bale, meanwhile, was benched for the second time in three matches, with his prospects looking evermore bleak.
"It's a really tricky season, it's hard to explain and we all feel sad," said goalkeeper Keylor Navas. "But in this club there's always pressure and that cannot be an excuse."
