Warnock hails Cardiff's response to Sala tragedy

Warnock hails Cardiff's response to Sala tragedy

LONDON • Cardiff manager Neil Warnock said he was proud of his team despite losing 2-1 at Arsenal on Tuesday. It was the first time the Premier League side played since a plane carrying the club's record signing Emiliano Sala disappeared over the English Channel.
The Argentinian, 28, was on his way to the Welsh capital to join his new team on Jan 21, just two days after completing a £15 million (S$26.6 million) move from French Ligue 1 club Nantes.
Ahead of the game, Warnock described the past week as the toughest of his career, but admitted it had been cathartic for the team to play at the Emirates Stadium.
A minute's reflection was held before kick-off and the visiting fans unveiled a banner that read: "We never saw you play and never saw you score, but Emiliano, our beautiful bluebird, we will love you forever more."
Both captains also laid a bouquet of flowers each on the pitch, while Argentina shirts and flags were waved in the away section.
Admitting there were "more important things" than losing a football game, Warnock said: "Tonight in the circumstances, we've only worked on the system for 24 hours.
"They couldn't have given me any more and I'm really proud to be their manager.
"I can't explain really how it has been this week. But you've not wanted to get out of bed because everything was miserable. Nobody could actually do anything about it. It's been really difficult."
He also paid tribute to Sala by confirming the club had no plans to dip into the transfer market again to replace him as "Emiliano was the one I worked on for a couple of months".
While Cardiff will not augment the squad with another striker, Warnock admitted they needed "a couple of defenders to supplement because we are short in numbers".
The away side ultimately were made to pay for defensive lapses despite having been the better side before half-time, with Bobby Reid missing two big chances.
Arsenal finally clicked into gear after the break, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang slotting home a penalty for his 15th Premier League goal of the season after Sead Kolasinac was tripped in the box.
Alexandre Lacazette then sealed a vital three points as the Gunners bid to finish in the top four.
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who came off the bench, nabbed a consolation goal for Warnock's men.
Cardiff defender Sol Bamba told the BBC that some players are now scared to fly, saying: "We travel by plane and some of the lads have been thinking 'I don't want to go on it anymore'.
"The gaffer... and the club have been good in terms of bringing someone in to talk to if we need to."

Football: Stylish Liverpool thrash Watford 5-0 to stay top of league

LIVERPOOL, England (REUTERS) - Liverpool rediscovered their swagger and stayed top of the Premier League with a thrilling 5-0 win over Watford that was powered by two goals apiece from Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk on Wednesday (Feb 27).
Senegalese striker Sane leapt between defenders to head a close-range ninth minute goal after a sumptuous cross from Liverpool's marauding right back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who provided three assists on the night.
In the 20th minute, Sane received another pass in the box from Alexander-Arnold, first appearing to lose control of the ball before cheekily back-heeling it into the net past Watford keeper Ben Foster.
Belgian forward Divock Origi made it 3-0 in the 66th minute, cutting into the box from the left wing before firing past Foster at his near post. Dutch defender van Dijk headed in the fourth and fifth goals late on as Watford were swept aside.
Liverpool, who had failed to score in their last two games against Bayern Munich in the Champions League and Manchester United in the Premier League, could have bagged even more as Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah also ran Watford ragged.
The result kept Liverpool top of the Premier League on 69 points, just ahead of Manchester City on 68 points after the champions' 1-0 win over West Ham on Wednesday.
Manager Juergen Klopp looked delighted that his team, who had drawn three out of their last four league games to allow City back into the race, had found their fluency and intensity again against the Hornets.

Football: Chelsea banned from signing new players for next two transfer windows

Football: Chelsea banned from signing new players for next two transfer windows

PARIS (AFP) - Premier League club Chelsea have been banned from signing new players in the next two transfer windows as punishment for breaking rules on registering underage players, Fifa said on Friday (Feb 22).
It means the club will be unable to make signings until the end of January 2020.
"The Disciplinary Committee sanctioned Chelsea with a ban on registering new players at both national and international level for the next two complete and consecutive registration periods," Fifa said in a statement.
In addition, Chelsea were fined 600,000 Swiss francs (S$811,000) and given a period of 90 days to regularise the situation of the minor players concerned.
The ban does not prevent players being released by the club and it does not apply to Chelsea's women's and futsal teams.
Chelsea have been given three days to appeal against Fifa's decision.
The move follows a Fifa probe into Chelsea's signing of foreign under-18 players, including the club's former forward Bertrand Traore, a Burkina Faso international who now plays for French Ligue 1 club Lyon.
Traore signed professional forms for Chelsea in 2013 at the age of 18 but was not registered until January the following year.
French website Mediapart, quoting documents from Football Leaks, reported that Fifa had scrutinised 19 Chelsea signings.
Mediapart reported that Fifa found evidence that Chelsea had supplied misleading information about Traore's signing and that he had made more than 20 appearances for the club at different age levels despite not being registered by the Football Association.
Fifa said on Friday it was also fining the Football Association 510,000 Swiss francs for breaking the rules on signing minors.
The world governing body gave the FA a period of six months to update its processes concerning international transfers and the registration of minors.

Football: Leicester win to mark late owner's birthday

Football: Leicester win to mark late owner's birthday

LEICESTER, England (REUTERS) - Leicester City marked an emotional day for the club on what would have been the birthday of their late owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha by beating Bournemouth 2-0 at home in the Premier League on Saturday (March 30).
Goals from captain Wes Morgan, only playing because of Harry Maguire's suspension, and Jamie Vardy inspired the Foxes as they continued their bright start under new manager Brendan Rodgers with a third straight league win.
Central defender Morgan scored in consecutive games for the first time in his Leicester career, although there may have been a touch of fortune about his deflection which went in off the post from Ben Chilwell's 11th minute shot.
An entertaining match saw both teams' top strikers, Vardy and Callum Wilson, miss chances but Leicester, increasingly dominant, deserved the spoils when Vardy headed home his fifth goal in five games eight minutes from time.
It felt a fitting way for Leicester fans to honour Srivaddhanaprabha, their much-loved Thai owner who died in a helicopter accident after a game in October, on what would have been his 61st birthday.
Before the game, his image flashed up on the big screen at the King Power Stadium along with the words "Always in our hearts" and Srivaddhanaprabha's son, club chairman Aiyawatt, was introduced to the crowd.
In the 61st minute of the match, the fans also rose to applaud his memory, singing "Vichai had a dream."

 
 
Leicester had also arranged for fans to be given free cake and beer to mark the day and the home players responded with a fine performance.
"I thought we were excellent. We had to work hard, it was a real good test, we were outstanding on the back of the international break," said Rodgers.
"Our pressing was excellent, the boys are understanding tactically how we want to press and the importance of that... We had 18 shots on goal, which is a real positive."
The Northern Irishman also said he was also impressed with the contribution of Vardy, who has scored four times in four games since Rodgers took over the managerial reins from Claude Puel.


Hypocritically, authorities allowed Syrian women — the beneficiary of so much ideological and material support from Iran — into the game. There is no explicit rule that allows foreign women to attend men's sporting events, but this trend started a few years ago. Still, Iranian women are banned.

Football: Sane, Reus seal Germany win over Belarus in Euro 2020 qualifier

BORISOV, Belarus (REUTERS) - Germany eased past hosts Belarus 2-0 with goals from Leroy Sane and Marco Reus on Saturday (June 8) to make it two wins from their first two Euro 2020 Group C qualifiers.
The three-time European champions, who suffered a shock World Cup first-round exit last year before being relegated in the inaugural Nations League, were desperate to build on their opening qualifying win over Netherlands in March.
They took a 13th-minute lead when Sane shook off his marker and fired in from close range.
Belarus responded by forcing a fine save from Manuel Neuer, who punched Nikita Naumov's 30th-minute header over the bar for the hosts' best chance in the game.
The visitors struck again with Reus in the 62nd minute after a clever assist from Matthias Ginter and hit the post through Sane's 84th-minute header.
The result lifted the Germans to six points, three behind leaders Northern Ireland who beat Estonia 2-1 for their third win in three qualifiers.
Belarus suffered their third straight loss and are in last place, having scored only one goal.
"It was a solid performance on which we can build. We want to develop as a team," said Germany assistant coach Marcus Sorg, who replaced Joachim Loew as head coach for the game.
Loew was briefly hospitalised days ago following a sports injury.
"The win was above everything. We had to overcome some challenges against a very defensive opponent. Overall, we did it well," said Sorg, who will also be in charge in Tuesday's qualifier against Estonia.
Earlier on Saturday, Northern Ireland came from a goal down to beat Estonia 2-1 in Tallin.
Conor Washington cancelled out the hosts' lead through Konstantin Vassiljev's low first half free kick and fellow substitute Josh Magennis completed the turnaround in the 80th minute to keep Northern Ireland top of the standings.
They next travel to Belarus on Tuesday.

Football: Palace rout Leicester to step up pressure on Puel

LEICESTER, England (REUTERS) - Crystal Palace piled further pressure on Leicester City manager Claude Puel on Saturday (Feb 23) with a comprehensive 4-1 Premier League win over his team, who have now gone seven games without a victory.
Two goals from Wilfried Zaha, another from Michy Batshuayi and a penalty from Luka Milivojevic inflicted a fourth consecutive league defeat on Leicester - their worst run since 2000.
But it was the manner of the performance that will have most alarmed Puel, with two goals conceded late on to set sections of the crowd booing.
By contrast, 71-year-old Roy Hodgson was in delighted mood as he officially became the oldest ever Premier League manager.
Leicester conceded the first goal for the 19th time this season when Batshuayi was hit by James McArthur's shot, the ball ricocheting past Kasper Schmeichel at great pace. It was the Belgian's first Premier League goal in 19 months.
Although Evans responded with his first goal for Leicester, after 64 minutes, Palace quickly restored their lead with a finish from close-in by Zaha, who was returning from suspension.
Milivojevic put the game beyond doubt with a spot kick after 81 minutes after Evans, making an eventful 250th appearance in the Premier League, fouled Jeffrey Schlupp.
Zaha added his second goal, and Palace's fourth, late on after mistakes by Harry Maguire and Schmeichel.
Interviewed on television immediately after the game, Zaha appeared surprised when James Tomkins was awarded the man-of-the-match award. Asked to present it, Zaha joked: "Oh wow, really? Okay."
The win put Palace six points clear of the relegation zone as they moved one place and two points behind 12th-placed Leicester.
