Mason Mount was adamant. I'm not going anywhere," he said. He was 15 years old and everything he'd spent the past nine years working towards had been offered to him - a scholarship contract with Chelsea, with the promise of a professional deal as soon as he turned 17. Those closest to him had their reservations, though, and a family meeting was called at the Mounts' detached, four-bedroom home on the outskirts of Portsmouth.
Wycombe are currently bidding to reach the second tier for the first time in their history. They are fourth in League One, two points behind second-placed Coventry City. Individual awards are beautiful at the end of your career," Akinfenwa told BBC Three Counties Radio.

I believe that guests will not have any problems to win in this match from Bundesliga in Germany and that is more than ok and real for me, but we will see what will happen. So, Werder Bremen is in poor form in last few weeks, and I believe that is not changed in this pause, because of Corona Virus. Leverkusen is playing excellent football, in Germany but also and in Europa league, where they are beat Porto as a guests. They will win tonight with at least two goals difference, so I will bet on them here, it is real.
Ranger will against Atl Madrid in match UEFA Champion Youth. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals. Ranger have great result on last 4 match in UEFA Champion Youth due to Ranger always can make score minimal is 2 goals. Likewise Atl Madrid on last 5 match in UEFA Champion Youth also always can make score minimal is 1 goal. Therefore, my prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Ranger and Atl Madrid have average score is 2 goals in every match. Surely both team will make much score on this match.

A chance to see Gabigol again Media playback is not supported on this device Copa Libertadores: Two late Gabriel Barbosa goals seal dramatic Flamengo win He may not have set the world alight at Inter Milan, but Flamengo striker Gabriel Barbosa - commonly known as Gabigol - is always worth a watch.
The 25-year-old has scored six goals in his last 15 games, including two against League One side Oxford in the Carabao Cup. Guardiola has picked Sterling at least 14 more times than any other player during his time at City. He feels the winger's "standards are quite similar" and there are "no doubts" over Sterling's overall contribution. Asked what could ease the fixture burden, the City boss replied: "Fewer games, fewer competitions, fewer teams.
Smolevichy-STI will host Shakhtyor Soligorsk for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Shakhtyor are more ambitious team in this league. They probably want to get all three points. However, this will not be an easy task. Shakhtyor is not very good team at the start of the new season. In any case, they will have to invest a great effort in this game. Also, we have Smolevichi who's is one of the teams of relegation zone. Hosts have a poor results. I think, the hosts want at least one point. They will pay attention on their defense. Maybe this is - draw.
With only 10 teams participating in the tournament, the Swiss Super League is organized in a round-robin format 4 times in a season. Currently, the season 2019/20 has gone two-thirds of the way and teams are starting to enter the sprint stage. The championship race, the European Cup as well as the relegation place are very attractive and dramatic.
It's unbelievable," said the Austrian, whose side beat Chelsea 2-0 on Boxing Day. We couldn't prepare anything for this game. I don't know what this schedule is about. We had no sessions to work on anything. Why don't we just play Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday?"I know Saturday is a big day for football but it's not necessary [to play again so soon]. Guardiola not going to January sales?Despite conceding the Premier League title race, Guardiola said there would be no new signings at the club in January.
The visitors should be concerned about Millwall’s forward line. After all, they have conceded in 75% of their away trips so far this season. The Bees have kept only two clean sheets in their last 11 Championship away trips, while they’ve kept a single clean sheet in seven trips to top-half sides this season. Given Millwall’s scoring form and Brentford’s defensive issues, we think there’s good value in backing Millwall to score at least once. Over 0.5 Millwall goals is our pick, which can also be backed as Brentford no clean sheet

Away from home in the same time period, however, eight teams have a better record, including Wolves and Crystal Palace. The Gunners' 30 points from 25 away games are less than half what Liverpool have achieved (63), and nine points worse off than north London rivals Tottenham. Arsenal have also only kept two clean sheets on the road in that time, pointing to a wider malaise at the back. Their most recent example of defensive solidity on the road came on the first day of the season when they beat Newcastle 1-0.
Juventus are second in Serie A, being overtaken by Lazio after their game against Inter was postponed.

Now, they feel hoodwinked, and that sense of pride was not reciprocated. Before, he was something you were proud of. A global superstar brought up in our club, but now you don't want to hear anything about him," Bengtsson insists. He thinks we should be grateful for what he did for us but really he won nothing at Malmo. He was sold for a lot of money and that's all. Fellow Malmo fan Alexander Ivanovski explains that there is a strong feeling of betrayal caused by Ibrahimovic's decision to try to help Hammarby grow and not Malmo: "The reason it cuts so deep is it goes against what he always said.
Keeping hold of Josh King, Nathan Ake and Ryan Fraser is good news, but nevertheless we could well be waving a Premier League goodbye to "little old Bournemouth" in a few months' time . Ins: None Outs: Asmir Begovic (AC Milan, loan), Mikael Ndjoli (Motherwell, loan), Jake Scrimshaw (Eastleigh, loan), Brad Smith (Cardiff, loan), Matt Butcher (St Johnstone, loan) Net spend: £0 RATING: E - - - - - BRIGHTON Brighton spent heavily in the summer and they've done reasonably well so far this season, considering many had them down as a sure-fire relegation candidate.
The influential midfielder limped off early in the first half and the Reds never got a foothold on the game in midfield following his departure. Asked about the severity of Fabinho's injury, Klopp said: "I don't know, he has pain and that is not good. He couldn't continue. I don't want to say what I expect because I hope it is not that serious. Former Liverpool defender and BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson said an extended absence for Fabinho over this coming period could be a big blow for the Reds.
Either Olivier Giroud or Michy Batshuayi, who have failed to step into Tammy Abraham's shoes this term, will leave and Chelsea's initial interest in RB Leipzig's Timo Werner has cooled in light of Liverpool's pursuit of the Germany international. Video - Ronaldo to stay at Juve until he's beyond 39!? - Euro Papers01:22 Paper Round’s view: Dembele is clearly a forward with goalscoring pedigree and Chelsea have largely misfired and failed to put away teams when Abraham has struggled with fitness.
Odds are very fine with me for the over 2.5 goals in this one as for example last season between them there were two high scoring games in the league draws both of them at Bognor it ended 2-2 and here at Lewes it ended up even more high scoring a 3-3 draw, this while lately both teams cannot really win too many games, Bognor with two losses in a row and getting a bit away from the promotion places, but they face an opponent, Lewis with a home record of 1-4-10 with 10 goals scored and no less than 28 goals conceded.

Southend's struggles continue, as does their rapid run towards relegation, though minor improvements have occurred of late. Defensively, Sol Campbell's men are still very poor; they're conceding lots of goals while the level of resistance that they're generally offering is minimal. On a more positive note, they have started to score on a much regular basis, which has allowed them to avoid defeat more regularly. The Shrimpers have lost only two of their last six, which is a vast improvement on what went before.
Pulisic, in his first season at the club, has not played since New Year's Day after suffering an adductor problem. It's certainly frustrating for them, particularly Christian who has had a big phase out now and is desperate to get back," said Lampard. Chelsea, who sit fourth in the Premier League, host Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round on Tuesday (19:45 GMT) before welcoming Everton to Stamford Bridge in the league on Sunday.
Salzburg and Frankfurt are both coming from losses and will hope to rise here as the Germans host the first leg of this tie. Salzburg have lost quite some good players since the close of the group stages where they dropped from the Champions League, and while they still have some good quality, we feel they will struggle a bit upfront. This should not be a big concern though, as Frankfurt do not keep many clean sheets, going by their run at the group stages. Frankfurt however have a good run at home, and they should ride on this in the game. Here we are backing both sides to score, but Frankfurt for a win.
Leaders Liverpool extended their advantage at the top of the Premier League to 11 points with victory over Brighton, as champions Manchester City surrendered further points in the title race. Centre-back Virgil van Dijk headed in twice in six first-half minutes for Jurgen Klopp's side, but their day was soured somewhat as goalkeeper Alisson received a straight red card for handling outside the area and Lewis Dunk caught the hosts off-guard with the resulting free-kick 11 minutes from time.
Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic is, perhaps more surprisingly, the player who has completed the most dribbles of five metres or more per 90 minutes so far this season. The Croatia international has received plaudits for his improved performance under manager Frank Lampard this term compared with the 2018-19 campaign under Maurizio Sarri, with his high number of dribbles a suggestion he is having a greater impact on games.
To be quite honest, it's virtually impossible to criticise Wycombe, who under the astute management of Gareth Ainsworth have become a team capable of challenging right at the very top of the third tier.

Brighton have two wins in their 13 away league matches. Sheffield have three straight wins ahead of the Brighton game Sheffield have five wins and two losses in nine league matches at home. Brighton have no win in their last seven matches. Sheffield United are the best performers among the promoted teams this season and as they host Brighton this weekend, a rise to the top four will be on their minds.
As good as it gets in that position. England, almost inevitably, lost on penalties, but such was the quality of Cole's display his full-back partner Gary Neville singled him out for sympathy after the game as one player who did not deserve to taste defeat. He really was that good. Andrey Arshavin: Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal - Anfield, 21 April 2009 Andrey Arshavin joined Arsenal from Zenit St Petersburg in February 2009Andrey Arshavin was a mercurial figure, capable of brilliance and anonymity in equal measure - but he was never more productive and efficient than he was on this night at Anfield.
Was the language barrier a major problem?The language barrier becomes bigger in people's eyes, because of the results. I think if the results had been good things would have gone like the previous season - people would have allowed me to make mistakes, and found my English more acceptable than focusing on my mistakes. I had a certain level of English simply because I hadn't had the opportunity to develop it more - Id had two years in France with Paris St-German where I concentrated much more on French.
Aston has already gained experience and drew 0-0 with Sheffield, but is still in a relegation zone despite winning a point against 6th team. Chelsea sit fourth and is hoping for a UCL place. The squad is powerfully upgraded (see Werner for 50 million). Nevertheless, the environment is unfamiliar, so I trust Underdog Aston to have a small or large surprise here. Both teams must take points in this match. The Villains in terms of rescue and Chelsea to secure place in UCL. I think the two teams can shake the nets at Villa Park this afternoon in view of their needs but also of their recent games. The Villains have scored at least one goal in their last 11 games at home and Chelsea have seen both teams score in 4 of their last 5 games at home.
The Foxes striker is one of three English players in the Premier League's top six goalscorers who are currently injured. And of England's top five scorers, only Southampton's Danny Ings remains fit. Vardy effectively retired from international duty in August 2018 to focus on club football with Leicester but England manager Gareth Southgate said in November he was prepared to consider recalling him to the squad leading up to Euro 2020.
If Boxing Day history means anything, it's well in the home side's favour. Spurs were last beaten on 26 December in 2003, whilst Brighton haven't won since 2005. VIEW FROM THE DUGOUTTottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho on Son Heung-min's red card: "I hope Son is not punished five times. One time was the foul that [Antonio] Rudiger did on him. The second is to be sent off. The third would be not to play against Brighton.
