Europa League: The reason why Chelsea’s draw against Slavia Prague is a great omen for the Blues

Chelsea’s top four hopes took a huge blow last weekend with a 2-0 defeat to Everton.

Maurizio Sarri is reportedly on the brink of the sack at Stamford Bridge as his side sit three points adrift of the Champions League spots.

However, the Blues’ Europa League campaign is still intact and they have the easiest possible route to the final in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Chelsea face Czech side Slavia Prague in the next round and if they emerge victorious they will play the winners of Eintracht Frankfurt and Benfica in the semi-final.

The draw is also a very good omen for the club as the last time they faced a side from Prague they went onto win the competition.

Chelsea beat Sparta Prague 2-1 on aggregate in the Round of 32 stage in 2013 and later beat Steaua Bucharest, Rubin Kazan and Basel to triumph in the competition under Rafael Benitez.

So if you’re superstitious, Blues fans, there’s still reason to be optimistic this season as a European trophy is headed to west London.

Gareth Bale transfer: Real Madrid reportedly offer forward to Tottenham on loan as Zinedine Zidane wants him out

Gareth Bale could wear a Tottenham shirt again as Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane becomes desperate to get rid of him.

However, if the 29-year-old was to return to north London it would be as part of a £10million season-long loan.

According to The Sun, Real will take an offer where a club pays around £250,000-a-week for Bale’s wages – believed to be in excess of £600,000 – in addition to the £10m fee.

The idea of Spurs taking Bale permanently has been ruled out, while his pay packet will also prove to be an obstacle.

The player left Tottenham for Real in an £85m transfer in 2013 and, despite winning four Champions League trophies in his time there, he has been booed by his own fans.

Now it appears Zidane is doing everything he can to force him out.

Leaving Bale out of Real’s squad for the 3-1 defeat to Real Sociedad at the weekend, the manager said: “He’s fine physically. It’s very clear what I’ve done this weekend, we’ll see what I do next week and what happens next year.”

Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett still claims his player wants to stay and ‘see out’ his contract, which lasts until 2022, though accepts he may not be in Zidane’s plans for next season.

Real are understood to be interested in Eden Hazard and Paul Pogba, both of whom could cost at least £100m, with the former even claiming he has made a decision on his Chelsea future.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have been linked with Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon and Barcelona’s Andre Gomes, while Christian Eriksen’s future in north London is still undecided.

Liverpool: What Jurgen Klopp said he’d do if he didn’t bring a ‘title’ back to Anfield in four years

No one can say Liverpool haven’t improved under Jurgen Klopp.

However, Kopites may well have been expecting silverware at Anfield and the club has made zero progress on that front since he took charge in October 2015.

Getty

2

The Reds have come very close a few times, reaching the League Cup and Europa League finals in 2016 as well as the Champions League final in 2018.

They’ve been even better this season – pushing Manchester City all the way in the Premier League title race and are also in the last four of the Champions League again.

But it’s going to take a miracle for a trophy of any kind to come to Anfield this season as City are in the ascendancy in the title race with just two games left.

Meanwhile, Liverpool’s European hopes hang by a thread following their 3-0 defeat at Barcelona in the first leg of their semi-final tie.

Klopp refused to completely rule out a comeback from his players but there was a sense of resignation about his words as it looks like Liverpool will leave this season empty-handed once again.

2

It’s potentially embarrassing for the German who forecasted Liverpool would win ‘one title’ in four years when he was appointed manager.

He said to reporters at the time: “Last night we signed the contract and this morning I wake and I’m manager of Liverpool FC.

“Please give us time to do the work but when I sit here in four years I think we may have one title. If not maybe [I’ll win] the next one in Switzerland.”

The clubs around Switzerland will be licking their lips at the prospect of Klopp coming at least!

Jose Mourinho: Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager says some of his players would call him ‘a b******’

Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has admitted some of his players likely consider him ‘a bastard’.

The Portuguese, who was sacked as Red Devils boss last December, was speaking to DAZN in a mock job interview, in which he discussed certain parts of his career.

DAZN

1

He was asked to reveal his biggest strengths and flaws – ‘a terrible loser and horrible to those whose motivation does not match my own’ – and explain why the fictional club he was interviewing for should hire him.

One of the questions put to Mourinho was: “How would your players describe you in one word?”.

Clearly accepting of his, ahem… less than stellar, reputation, Mourinho replied: “That depends. Some of them… Some of them would say ‘a bastard’.”

Watch the whole interview with Mourinho below, courtesy of DAZN…

Despite his success, Mourinho remains one of the more divisive figures in world football.

He has won 25 major honours with clubs throughout Portugal, England, Italy and Spain, including three Premier League titles and two European Cups.

Nonetheless, he has long been criticised for espousing negative football, while the 56-year-old has allegedly clashed with many of his players.

The latest bust-up came during his final months in charge of Man United, with Paul Pogba the target of almost constant criticism.

Mourinho stripped the France midfielder of United’s vice-captaincy, and is reported to have branded Pogba a ‘virus’ during a dressing room row.

Rumours of a bust-up were renewed when Mourinho was sacked, with Pogba posting a cryptic social media message almost immediately after Man United confirmed the Portuguese’s departure.

The post, which was quickly deleted, is understood to have been a pre-scheduled advertisement for adidas, though the photo and accompanying message (Caption this!) raised eyebrows given the alleged breakdown in Mourinho and Pogba’s relationship.

Derby County EXCLUSIVE: Mel Morris insists he is ‘committed’ to the club and responds to Frank Lampard’s Chelsea links

Derby County owner Mel Morris has told talkSPORT he has no plans to sell the club after their failure to win promotion to the Premier League.

The Rams chiefs also expects manager Frank Lampard to stay despite strong links with a move back to Chelsea, saying he has ‘had no indication’ the former England star will make the move.

Derby will spend the summer preparing for another season in the Championship after losing the play-off final to Aston Villa on Monday.

Lampard had a remarkable chance to get the Rams back to the top flight in his very first season in management, but fell at the last hurdle with a 2-1 defeat at Wembley Stadium.

Derby’s build-up to the game was plagued with speculation over their head coach’s future, with claims he is being eyed up to take over from Maurizio Sarri as boss of former club Chelsea.

Morris’ future in charge of the club has also come into question, with reports this season claiming he wants to cut costs with the view to sell, having branded the Championship a ‘financial disaster’.

But, even though he admitted second tier clubs are losing over £500million across the board every season, Morris has insisted he remains fully committed to Derby.

Asked about his future, the Rams chief exclusively told talkSPORT host Jim White: “I’ve always been committed and that will continue.”

And quizzed about Lampard’s future, Morris continued: “There has been no conversation.

“Frank Lampard, every time anything moves on the management side at Chelsea his name is always going to be mentioned by their fans. That’s always going to happen.

“One day maybe Frank will manage Chelsea, I don’t doubt that will happen at some point in the future.

“But I just hope when that does happen he can pick up Chelsea at a time where he can go on to be successful.

“Right now we want to keep him.

“We’ve got two years left on his contract and would obviously love to retain Frank’s services, and I’ve had no indication that’s not going to be the case.”
