Moggi: Juventus lacking experienced leadership

Ex-Juventus director Luciano Moggi feels that the current team does not have experienced leaders.  The Italian Serie A side have been inconsistent under manager Thiago Motta so far this campaign.  Moggi believes the issue is due to a lack of on-field leadership, telling Radio Bianconera: “How is Juve doing at the halfway point? It’s a team of kids, of young people, who basically have to perform a miracle to make a project. A coach who has to start to understand the team better. I believe that if it maintains its position in the league table, for the first year it has also done well. Certainly not very well, because the many draws have clouded a bit… especially the idea of ​​the fans. “But this does not mean that they have not taken a certain path that can lead to the realization of a project that could be that of starting with the young and ending up opening a cycle, this is Juventus. For example, I wrote it, I do not want to criticize because these are the difficulties that exist in taking a team forward. I wrote that it is an uninspired team, but uninspired I mean, practically the inexperience as such, that is the little habituation to a match. “Because when the young people are 18, 19, 20 years old, practically they have to give something of experience that they do not have. Since leaders are missing here, the problem comes from experience. Yes, the leader is missing. The leader is missing in this team – Moggi acknowledged – who can speak of inspiration on the pitch, who can put things together with his teammates. There is no doubt about this.”

Diego Simeone happy with Copa rout of Getafe

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone was happy with the team’s win against Getafe in the Copa del Rey quarter final. Atletico took a 5-0 victory last night, with Giuliano Simeone scoring twice, Samuel Lino, Angelo Correa and Alexander Sorloth also getting on the scoresheet.  Simeone said: “The team played the game well, tried to be forceful, and were aggressive in attack. It’s true that Getafe changed a lot, but we played a game with high intensity to go for what we wanted, which was to get through.  “Whenever we have seen the youngsters from the youth team do well, it is a joy for us, for those who saw them grow. Saúl, Lucas, Thomas, now Riquelme or Barrios. Many youngsters who give health to the others who know that if they train well they will be able to compete. It is a satisfaction for everyone, for those who have done it in previous years and for those who accompany them to do better.” About his son, Giuliano, Diego also said: “I shouted the first goal as I needed to, the second less because the game was not over and the third more. I have no relation to shouting it or not shouting it. Sometimes I understand that one or two goals do not close the game and that is why there is more or less enthusiasm to celebrate it.  “There is still a long way to go until Saturday, we must work in the same way, but the healthiest thing is that people come to compete no matter how many minutes it takes and that is the difference we can have with the others, if we maintain it it gives us the possibility to continue with what we are doing.”

Nico Gonzalez arrives in Manchester from FC Porto

Nico Gonzalez, Manchester City’s fourth and final first-team signing of the January transfer window, arrived in the north-west of England on Tuesday evening.  The reigning Premier League champions splurge close to €200 million across the winter market to buy two new central defenders and an attacking talent, before ending the window with a new defensive midfielder.  Although there had been praise and excitement around signings like Abdukodir Khsanov and Vitor Reis from RC Lens and Palmeiras respectively, and Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, there was a belief that the team also needed a central midfielder.  As such, a deal was reached during the last days of the January Window. The Citizens signed Nico Gonzalez from FC Porto in a €60 million switch from the Portuguese team.  Manchester City confirmed the deal during the closure of the market for English teams on Monday night. It was also revealed that he signed a four-and-a-half year contract and adopted the number 14 shirt at the Etihad Stadium.  Gonzalez left Porto on Tuesday afternoon to begin his days at City Football Academy and is settling well into his new home.

Triumphant return: Joel Embiid posts triple-double, hits go-ahead layup

Joel Embiid hopes coming back to the Philadelphia 76ers lineup isn’t a one-day thing. The center proved he hasn’t slowed down, after returning from a left knee injury that kept him absent for a month. Embiid delivered his first triple-double of the term on Tuesday night in a win over the Dallas Mavericks.  Embiid, who was absent in the last 15 matches, had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in Philadelphia’s 118-116 victory. He played for 36 minutes while wearing a leg brace and went 12-for-23 from the field and 4-for-9 from the free-throw line.  “I wish I could play every game,” Embiid said of his expectations for the rest of the season. “Whatever God decides from that point on, I can’t control it. Goal is to be available every single night.” Nonetheless, coach Nick Nurse said after the match that Embiid would not compete on Wednesday night against Miami Heat. The center played in just his 14th game of a season he said has been “extremely” frustrating. The 76ers are 8-6 with him and 20-29 overall. They’ll need him to play again to advance to the playoffs. “Trying to find the positives, like support and family, but it’s tough,” he said. In the match against the Mavericks, Embiid appeared to be normal. His layup with 22 seconds on the clock put Philadelphia up by a point. He stole the defensive rebound on Dallas’ next possession and then defended the last play of the meeting when the Mavericks turned it over.  “I just wanted to come out aggressive, assert myself inside and out,” Embiid said. Embiid, who was drafted No. 3 overall by Philadelphia in 2014, entered the game averaging 24.4 points and 7.9 rebounds. He still thinks the 76ers can turn things around. “We just got to get healthy and stay healthy,” he said.

Flick slams Real Madrid letter: Not the way we do things here

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has replied to Real Madrid over their letter to the RFEF regarding the state of refereeing in Spain. Flick took the swipe this morning as he previewed tomorrow’s Copa del Rey quarter final with Valencia.  The match: “It’s a totally different game to the one in La Liga. We’re going to give it our all. We’re going to press. They’re going to press. Everything will be different. The atmosphere, the stadium, the ambiance…”  Dani Olmo and Gavi: “We’ll see if Olmo comes on in the second half. Gavi is not an option for tomorrow, according to protocol. It’s good to do it like this, the blow was hard.” Frenkie de Jong: “You always compare players. We have a game tomorrow and then another on Sunday. We’ll be back at three or four in the morning. I need all the players. Frenkie is great, and Casadó is also wonderful. It doesn’t matter who plays, everyone will give their all. That’s what’s important.” Dani Olmo: “He has shown, in many games, how important he is for us. He is important in the centre and in attack, he knows how to control the ball. He is very important. But we have to take care of him. We have to make sure he keeps playing. It all depends on the load he has. We have to know how he feels and adapt. We can’t have him in every game. He is important for the next games.” Letter from Real Madrid: “To be honest, I don’t want to talk about it. But it’s not our way of doing things, I wouldn’t do it. Every coach and club has some reasons for saying things. We are human and we make mistakes. And referees have a very hard job and we have to look after them, the situation they have is not easy.” Valencia? “The first game was tough, then we played again. The atmosphere was incredible. Tomorrow we will have a lot of pressure. It’s a cup match. You don’t win the title, but you can lose it and we don’t want that.” You’re turning 60 years old: “In my life, I often think about the situations I would like to experience. Many dreams come true, and one was to coach Barça. It’s something incredible. I like the city, it’s fantastic. The sun, the food, the weather… February and look at the temperature. But I love this club and coaching this team is fantastic. The players are unique. It’s incredible. I’ve never experienced anything like it. They love training, they love training and playing. I love watching it. I appreciate it very much. It’s a dream come true.” Real Madrid’s complaint: “I think I’ve said it. When I arrived I said there are no excuses, no complaints, no blame. I don’t like it. We have to win our games. We have lost some, unexpectedly, and it’s our fault. We’re seeing what we can do. We’re close, but it’s not all over yet. Sunday is a big game and we have to win it, but first there’s Valencia.” Goalkeepers: “(Wijciech) Szczesny is number one, clearly. “I know that goalkeepers are compared. Iñaki (Pena) is fantastic. We chose Szczesny for his personality, and for his way of doing things, style… both are great. The youngsters do well too. We made a decision and followed it. We decided what was best for the team.”
