Roma make it too easy for Liverpool in Champions League with reckless tactics

Image
ESPN FC News Roma make it too easy for Liverpool in Champions League with reckless tactics ESPN FC's Gab Marcotti delves into the the mind of Eusebio Di Francesco to explain the Roma head coach's tactics against Liverpool. Roma head coach Eusebio Di Francesco believes his side can overturn the three goal deficit from the first leg in Rome to reach the Champions League Final. Jurgen Klopp's press conference following Liverpool's victory over AS Roma was interrupted by someone apparently desperate to enter the room. Liverpool's inability to close out matches comes back to haunt them as Roma score two late goals and rescue a glimmer of hope heading into leg two. Come the end of the 2017-18 campaign, Liverpool's 5-2 victory over Roma on Tuesday will probably be remembered as the greatest night of the club's campaign -- depending, of course, upon whether they go one better and win the final itself. It was almost the arch...

ESPN FC News Sean Dyche: Millwall's Neil Harris, not Pep Guardiola, is Manager of Year Burnley's Sean Dyche reveals why he's looking outside of the Premier League for his manager of the year. Sean Dyche says the Europa League not to be feared by Burnley, despite the size of their squad and resources.

And to think that some Roma fans wanted them to tank... On Monday, the talk in some quarters -- particularly among the local radio stations that provide the soundtrack to any taxi ride in the Eternal City -- was that Roma boss Eusebio Di Francesco should play the long game. The club were obviously not going to come back from a 4-1 deficit against Barcelona in their Champions League second leg, so why not conserve their energy for Sunday's Serie A derby against Lazio?

Zidane a better coach than player, says former team-mate Tacchinardi

Image
Latest News RSS feed Zidane a better coach than player, says former team-mate Tacchinardi Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is a "phenomenon" who is better as a coach than he ever was as a player, according to his former Juventus team-mate Alessio Tacchinardi. Zidane enjoyed a seamless transition to coaching after being promoted from Real Madrid's youth side in January 2016, replacing the dismissed Rafael Benitez and guiding the club to Champions League success the same season. He then presided over another Champions League-winning campaign the following year, making Madrid the first club to retain their crown, while they also added a LaLiga title. Things have been a little more difficult for them this season and they sit third in the league, 13 points adrift of rivals Barcelona, with Zidane – who won the Ballon d'Or as a player – under pressure as a result. Yet, despite their underwhelming season domestically, Madrid are still going strong in Europe and face...
