Response to Football's Demands<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Refereeing is constantly evolving
and changing to adapt to the demands of Football. The International Football
Association Board (IFAB), an organization dependent on FIFA and responsible for
all matters related to refereeing, strives to keep up with the evolving nature
of the sport. Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president, has granted significant
prominence to IFAB and its occasionally daring decisions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A More Offensive Approach:
Wenger's Proposal to Change the Offside Rule<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">At the beginning of each season,
IFAB introduces changes and conducts experiments that eventually become part of
the actual rules. The anticipated next revolution, as revealed by MARCA, is
spearheaded by Arsene Wenger and focuses on modifying the offside rule. After
listening to all the stakeholders, Wenger proposed his idea to IFAB, suggesting
it be tested in upcoming weeks in various countries, including Italy and
Sweden.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">From Idea to Reality: FIFA's
Tests and Implementation of Wenger's Proposal<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Infantino approached the FIFA
development director, seeking improvements that would benefit offensive
Football. Wenger, inspired by a Premier League study indicating a potential
reduction in offside calls, believes he has found a solution. His proposal revolves
around allowing the striker to be ahead of the defender, provided they maintain
contact with a body part that can score a goal in line with the last defender.
IFAB sources authorized by MARCA confirmed that measures such as reducing the
offside margin to five or six centimeters are under study, with the potential
to make the game more offensive.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style="text-align: justify;">The initiative to change the
offside rule began in 2021 and is now taking shape through FIFA's ongoing
tests. The initial steps resemble the processes undertaken in the past, such as
the implementation of Video Assistant Referee (VAR), semi-automatic offside
rulings, and other innovative measures introduced in recent years. Infantino
has consistently expressed his desire for change, aiming for a more offensive style
of Football. He stated, "In 135 years of history, the offside rule has
been altered only twice. Arsene Wenger has presented us with a possibility: no
offside if the striker is in an offside position, but a body part with which
they can score a goal is in line with the defense. This change would lead to a
much more offensive style of football."</span> <br /><br /></p><p><span style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/2023/07/04/64a380dc268e3eeb7c8b4605.html">IFAB, Offside rule changes, revolution, offside rule</a>, Arsene Wenger, offensive football, striker, defender, goal, offside calls, more offensive game, FIFA, tests, VAR, implementation.

<p class="MsoNormal">Manchester City clinched their Premier League title with a
1-0 victory over Chelsea in their final home game at the sun-soaked Etihad
Stadium. Julian Alvarez scored the early goal that secured the win for City,
who have now won 12 consecutive matches in the league. The team's remarkable
turnaround, having been eight points behind Arsenal in late March, has left
them feeling invincible in recent weeks, according to forward Jack Grealish.
City currently have 88 points from 36 matches, seven points ahead of
second-placed Arsenal. Meanwhile, Chelsea, under the struggling Frank Lampard,
find themselves in 12th place with 43 points.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alvarez's goal not only secured the victory but also marked
City's 100th goal at The Etihad this season, matching the record set by the
club in the 2018-19 season for the most home goals scored in a single season by
an English top-flight team. With their focus now turning to the upcoming FA Cup
and Champions League finals, City manager Pep Guardiola made several changes to
the lineup, keeping key players like Erling Haaland on the bench for most of
the game. Guardiola's tactical acumen and ability to adapt his strategies game
by game were praised by Grealish, who expressed his admiration for the manager.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Despite the extensive changes to the team, City displayed
their dominance over Chelsea, proving themselves to be a well-coordinated unit
under Guardiola's guidance. The celebratory atmosphere was palpable as Chelsea
graciously offered City a guard of honor before kickoff, and after the final
whistle, thousands of fans stormed the field in jubilation. City's players,
however, were swiftly escorted off the pitch by security personnel. Guardiola
led the team in celebrating their third consecutive Premier League title, their
fifth in six years, and his own 10th major trophy with the club.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Raheem Sterling came close to equalizing in the second half,
but John Stones made an impressive sliding stop to deny him, earning the
appreciation of his England teammate. City supporters also paid homage to
Sterling with a standing ovation when he was substituted. With their domestic
title secured, City fans reveled in the glory of their team's success, looking
forward to the remaining challenges in the FA Cup and Champions League finals.<o:p></o:p></p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>MehranSaeedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17392626457392150448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893184862457844561.post-72623266852793108662023-04-05T10:11:00.001-07:002023-04-05T10:11:28.139-07:00Lionel Messi has been offered the most lucrative contract in the history of professional sports by Al Hilal.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDi3DmMyjcBkW8HMPt5-uzpQIyGKdj-pDhu-nIoPJEFbsEDggkpdpJDUc9VF8uyL8waMba0iIlivYG_gppiHCCQUS81paG5FEyC_dTrvE3JQlCIYyjBKVkOWnnvs1DYH4srVmUdmZ5DtZ5f6y11kCSOmMmi7LMG4yFNeKOAvCXtWm9IgiJqH3taQ/s715/messi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="402" data-original-width="715" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDi3DmMyjcBkW8HMPt5-uzpQIyGKdj-pDhu-nIoPJEFbsEDggkpdpJDUc9VF8uyL8waMba0iIlivYG_gppiHCCQUS81paG5FEyC_dTrvE3JQlCIYyjBKVkOWnnvs1DYH4srVmUdmZ5DtZ5f6y11kCSOmMmi7LMG4yFNeKOAvCXtWm9IgiJqH3taQ/w400-h225/messi.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">During the winter season, Cristiano Ronaldo was signed to an
expensive contract by Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr. Reports suggest that
another Saudi club, Al Nassr's top rival, offered Lionel Messi an exorbitant
amount of money, which may lead to a potential face-off between the two clubs
in the Saudi league.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Lionel Messi's contract with PSG ends this season, and he
has several options to choose from. Al Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club, has offered
Messi an astounding contract worth over €400 million ($438 million/£350
million) per year, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. However,
Messi's priority is to continue playing in a top European league where he can
compete for more Champions League titles. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The ESPN journalist Mark Ogden has
reported that Messi is giving serious consideration to the Al Hilal offer,
which seems to be a 50/50 chance at this point. This could be due to his
meeting with the Saudi club in March. Recent talks about an extension with PSG
have been unsuccessful, making his decision more critical.<o:p></o:p></p><br /><p></p>MehranSaeedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17392626457392150448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893184862457844561.post-12159266862261751232020-12-08T06:40:00.004-08:002020-12-08T06:43:54.687-08:00Barcelona VS Juventus Champions League Match<script data-ad-client="ca-pub-8332829040691101" async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Football in Italy will be back when giants Juventus and AC Milan will be at the Coppa Italia 2nd leg at the Allianz Stadium in Turin in front of the empty places on Saturday (IST).<br />
<br />
After a 3-month break due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the Italian football star will return with a cup of tea before Serie A returns next week. Napoli and Inter Milan will meet in the 2nd leg of another final game on Sunday.<br />
<br />
All eyes will be fixed on the television screen as some of the biggest names in world football, including Cristiano Ronaldo will be back at work. However, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's fans need to wait a lot to see their star return as he is ruled out for a calf injury. Gonzalo Higuain will also be away on Friday for Juventus.<br />
<br />
The leg of the Coppa Italia 2nd is perfectly set as Juventus and Milan play a 1-1 draw at San Siro before the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic. Cristiano Ronaldo hit an injury rate in the first leg.<br />
<br />
Juventus are favorites for Wednesday's final round after being beaten 1-1 in the first leg on February 13 but coach Maurizio Sarri said his side was getting into the unknown after a long recovery.<br />
<br />
For AC Milan, the last three months have been a tumultuous time and endless speculation that the club wants to dismiss coach Stefano Pioli at the end of the season and replace Ralf Rangnick of Germany.<br />
<br />
While AC Milan was in the game and had a chance to steal it, it was Juve creating an opportunity after a fortune, not just finishing it. Paulo Dybala had a quality look in the second half and Gianluigi Donnarumma saved well.<br />
<br />
Juve was solid in defense and gave Milan a little space, with Matthijs de Ligt commanding the back line.<br />
<br />
The Coppa Italia final game is set for June 17 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Juve last won it in 2018, beating Milan 4-0.</div>

Juventus are planning to offer Cristiano Ronaldo a contract extension that would keep the attacker in Turin until he is 39 years of age.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The Portugal international is currently contracted with the Old Lady until 2022.<br />
<br />
Tuttosport reports that Juve would like to see CR7 prolong his stay with the club a further two years.<br />
<br />
Even at 35, Ronaldo continues to maintain incredible standards.<br />
<br />
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has scored 25 goals in 32 games this season, including scoring in a remarkable 11 consecutive Serie A games.<br />
<br />
The Italian champions are also planning to sign a top class number 9. The hope is that a younger striker would do enough work to allow an ageing Ronaldo to concentrate solely on finding the net.<br />
<br />
The report says that Juve are looking at RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner, Tottenham’s Harry Kane, Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus or PSG’s Mauro Icardi to fill that forward role.<br />

<br />
Cristiano Ronaldo will “without a doubt” be at Juventus next season, says the club’s sporting director Fabio Paratici, with it claimed the Portuguese wants another Ballon d’Or during his time in Italy.<br />
<br />
Questions have been asked of the 34-year-old’s ongoing presence in Turin amid supposed strain in his relationship with Bianconeri boss Maurizio Sarri.<br />
<br />
Ronaldo was substituted on two occasions and left out completely when nursing a knee complaint in November, while his manager has admitted that a superstar performer needs to “recover brilliance”.<br />
<br />
Paratici told Sky Sport Italia when quizzed on Ronaldo and his decision to snub the Ballon 2019 Ballon d’Or ceremony in favour of collecting a Serie A Player of the Year prize in Milan: “I smile because there are other problems.<br />
<br />
“He wanted this award because he is an ambitious person and he wants to show he is also the best here.<br />
<br />
“In our opinion he deserves the Ballon d’Or. He will be at Juventus next season, without a doubt.<br />
<br />
“He wants to win another Ballon d’Or with us, and we support him.”</div>

But who are the standout performers in their specialist roles? Let’s take look.</div>

Manchester City vs Wolves matches was played last night and it was amazing match to watch. Spectators loved to watch such a thriller five goals match. It was total a drama at Molineux. Manchester City scored early two goals and both goals were added by Raheem Sterling. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every thing was in City's hand before the second half of the match. But Wolves bounced back aggressively and scored amazing three goals in the second half. Manchester City had a disadvantage of early red card of Ederson during the 12th minute of the match.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Watch the highlights of the match Manchester City vs Wolves 3 - 2 below.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ten-man Manchester City took a two-goal lead as Wolves bounced back in the glorious second half to win 3–2 on a dramatic evening. Raheem Sterling scored twice even after Ederson's opening red card, but Adama Traore pulled one back and set up Raul Jimenez to equalize before Matt Doherty's late winner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dramatic competition was played amid an intense atmosphere, which was only amplified by a series of VAR decisions, taken at least twice - and twice saved - by Sterling. The result advances the Wolves to fifth, but it probably means City are third ahead of Leicester and remain 14 points ahead of runway leaders Liverpool.</div>

There are credible reports that up to 1 million of them are being held in 're-education camps' the form is known as Chinese Voluntary Education and Training, where they are reportedly being captured for brainwashing, with about 10 million Uygar Muslims, a minority Ottoman Muslim group living in the northwest of China.<br />

This week, Mesut Ozil tweet to highlight his plight.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
Ozil said, "Eastern Turkistan, the bleeding wounds of the Ummah, are trying to separate them from their religion against the oppressors. They burn their Quran. They shut down their mosques. They ban their schools." They kill. They kill their holy men. The men are kept in camps and their families are forced to live with Chinese men. Women are forced to marry Chinese men.<br />
<br />
"But the Muslims are silent. They did not make noise. He has abandoned them. Do they not know that consenting to persecution is torture on its own? "<br />
<br />
Arsenal went on to distance themselves from these comments, posting their statement on the Chinese forum, Weibo. The Western press does not appear to have been released.<br />
<br />
They were clear. Ozil did not speak for Arsenal. Once again, Mesut Ozil spoke out against racism and oppression and was once again shunned by the very people who should stand by him.<br />
<br />
"Regarding the comments made on social media by Mesut Ozil, Arsenal should make a clear statement," the club wrote. "Published material" is the personal opinion of Ozil. As a football club, Arsenal have always followed the principle of not involving themselves in politics. "<br />
<br />
It was a bit disappointing when Arsenal put their commercial interests ahead of human rights, when they put Mesut Ozil to dry with their statements about his tweet on the Chinese treatment of Uighurs.<br />

The big match <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/search/label/Barcelona?&max-results=7" target="_blank">Barcelona</a> vs Real Madrid (El Clasico 2019). which was rescheduled for 18th of December, again faces uncertainty due to threats from protesters and lack of security guarantees. The game is under the consideration as protests in Catalonia continue.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
El Clasico was postponed because of protests in Barcelona as security of the players as well as the fans was a major concern. After prison sentences were announced for the organizers of the Catalan independence referendum, the protests erupted yet again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was believed that things would be in control by now but separatists revealed that the people will surround the stadium four hours before kick-off. They also informed that some of the protesters will be distributing material to fans inside the stadium to display their anger and displeasure.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The law enforcement agencies believe that the match should not be played due to the lack of protection to deal with the security measures. But still, there is no notice from either of the teams as well as the Catalan government. Fans from all around the world are keen to watch the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid.</div>

For the past 10 years, the honor of best footballer in the world award a Messi-Ronaldo face-off, with other footballers simply attending the party out of courtesy and to pose for photographs. For younger fans, football without Messi and Ronaldo feels quite strange – as if such a time has never existed, and never will.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When we talk about them a few years later, it will not be about a dazzling display from the previous night, but a fond reminiscence of the sheer pride and honor of having witnessed the greatest football rivalry of all time with our own eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, Messi and Ronaldo will retire, leaving a void that will never be replaced by anything like it. But what will happen to football then? What happens to the world of football when Messi and Ronaldo retire? We made a critical analysis for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Neymar and Mbappe would replace the throne as the best player in the world</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Neymar and Mbappe can be the suitable contenders for the replacement of football giants Messi and Ronaldo after their retirement. Derided in several quarters for his tendency to dive and showboat, the Brazilian nonetheless remains the most likely contender to inherit the throne of the best player in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2QTD8AX_uJzyTDF1965hstQn-63_e9MNWrtoUIp4fK9nxIpShAfxl24HFURfyvqb7T5lazufL7kWhi4fbIDY1XjkD-Qt4RCKNzfJDZ9zsLORTKblO5iX7iFQHln3omv3cqK7RSPAmCA/s1600/Neymar+and+Mbappe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Neymar and Mbappe" border="0" data-original-height="483" data-original-width="553" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2QTD8AX_uJzyTDF1965hstQn-63_e9MNWrtoUIp4fK9nxIpShAfxl24HFURfyvqb7T5lazufL7kWhi4fbIDY1XjkD-Qt4RCKNzfJDZ9zsLORTKblO5iX7iFQHln3omv3cqK7RSPAmCA/s1600/Neymar+and+Mbappe.jpg" title="" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other notable names include Antoine Griezmann, Gareth Bale, and Pogba, or, if you were to step down one generation further, Ousmane Dembele, Kylian Mbappe, and Gabriel Jesus. But as it stands, if you were to put your money on it, one would most certainly back Neymar – amidst all the nostalgia of missing Messi and Ronaldo, one can't help but wonder when Neymar will finally seize the coveted Ballon d'Or from the famous duo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Barcelona and Juventus's grip on European football would be loosen</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Barcelona and Real Madrid have ruled the world of football in last decade. 5 of the last 8 Champions League titles have gone to Barcelona or Real Madrid – thus establishing themselves as the two best club football teams on the planet over the last decade.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is easy to see that the presence of the two best players in the world has directly contributed to their sustained dominance. We have witnessed that when Ronaldo left Real Madrid than the Spanish giant crumbled badly </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So once Messi and Ronaldo retire, Barcelona will be affected because there is no replacement of the Argentinean so far and Juventus will be lacking a world class striker. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Argentina and Portugal would be in trouble</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have seen that Lionel Messi's recent four-match suspension for swearing at a match official has cast a big shadow on Argentina's international stats. There is a universal recognition of the reliance that Argentina has on Messi. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having been criticized in the past for underwhelming performances at the national level, Messi has responded to his critics with great performance in WC 2014 and Copa America 2016. Argentina will have a huge void to fill when Messi retires – as was demonstrated by the outcry over the captain's retirement after Copa America 2016 and his subsequent return.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ronaldo, on the other hand, has always been a national hero – perhaps never more so than when he scored two goals in three minutes against Sweden in the 2014 WC playoffs to lead his team to Brazil.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The passion Ronaldo has for his country is also the stuff of legends; anyone who has seen the sight of a tearful Ronaldo leaving the field injured after 23 minutes in the Euro 2016 final would agree to his pride and honor of wearing the Portugal jersey. Ronaldo also helped Portugal to win first ever <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/uefa-nations-league.html" target="_blank">UEFA Nations league</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With no clear replacement as a successor to Ronaldo, Portugal's future after his retirement remains hazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Football statisticians will have time to breathe</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have been employed as a football statistician/record keeper over the past decade, we football fans feel for you – we really do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Messi and Ronaldo have made existing records obsolete almost on a weekly basis – most goals scored in La Liga (Messi) vs most goals scored in Champions League (Ronaldo); most goals scored in club competitions in a calendar year (Messi; 79 in 2012) vs most international goals in a calendar year (Ronaldo; 25 in 2013); Argentina's all-time top goal scorer vs Portugal's all-time top goal-scorer; the list goes on and on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When these two retire, perhaps a few football statisticians can retire as well – and finally get the time to go home and meet their family after years!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There will be thousands of articles written; millions of tweets doing the rounds; myriad eulogies uttered – but finally, at the end of it all, football will move on. Just as football moved on from Maradona and Pele, from Zidane and Ronaldinho, from Maldini and Nesta, again the show must simply go on – and it will.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That is when the magic of nostalgia will start to take hold – as good as Zidane and Ronaldinho were, it is debatable whether they were as good as our biased and nostalgic memories tell us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a similar way, we will tell our younger generations stories of Messi and Ronaldo; stories that captivate them and motivate them, stories that won't be out of a place in a fantasy fiction thriller; stories that will help us keep perspective of how insanely good they were.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally the decision has been taken and it has been announced by the Arsenal that Uni Emery has been sacked as the head coach of the Gunners. It was predicted days before that Emery can be sacked due to constant display of bad performance by the team.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Josh Kroenke announced on behalf of Arsenal board, he said “our most sincere thanks to Unai and his colleague who were unrelenting in their effort to get the club back to competing at the level we all expect and demand. We wish Unai and his team nothing but future success”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The decision was taken by the Arsenal board due to the lack of consistency in performance of team. Gunners could not grab a win in last seven matches and the month of November was gone without a win.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The decision was taken after the 2 – 1 defeat by Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday night. Emery looked helpless during the whole match. In last seven matches, Arsenal lost two and draws five matches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

A letter of thanks to Arsenal from Unai Emery...</div>
— Arsenal (@Arsenal) <a href="https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/1200500956309401600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 29, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sports journalist James Olley has written the inside story about Emery and club. He mentioned that the Spanish coach had lost the control in the dressing room and it was the demand from inside the dressing room to replace the head coach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was reported that after 1 – 1 draw from Victoria SC earlier this month, Emery was sat alone in the private plane of the club and players showed discourteous behavior to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arsenal players were angry on Emery’s decision to demote Graint Xhaka from the captainship. One player shouted in the dressing room, “How many captains do we have”? Players also used to taunt him due to his English accent. It has also reported that Emery was considering resign as a head coach of Gunners due to the disrespectful behavior of some players.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Things have gone worse for Emery when he allowed players to choose their captain. This eroded the sense of authority he had in the club. The decision also created controversy among the players۔</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many players complained about the lack of communication between the coach and them. Saka said, “Sometimes when I don’t understand when the coach is trying to communicate with me, we have a better communication with Freddie.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One player also admitted that he had more communication with ex-coach Arsene Winger than Emery. Gunner’s ex- coach used to take much longer time to convey his massage to players during training sessions. Many players used to leave during club meetings because they could not make sense what Emery was telling them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After six months as a boss in club, Emery did not know the name of many staff members. These little mistakes made a huge problem for him to keep the position in the club.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Spanish coach never settled in <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/premier-league.html" target="_blank">Premier League</a>, he used to travel to his home town quite regularly during the off days. He was expected to leave in the end of the season but the decision was taken too soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many players have expressed intimacy for Emery. Gunner’s goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez tweeted about him, “Thank you Unai Emery, I am sorry we let you down, it is our fault for not performing the right way. I’m sure we will meet again”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
David Luiz also made an apology to the ex-boss. He tweeted, “Sad day for everybody, we let you down boss, sorry”. Brazilian had played under his coaching in PSG as well.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If we look at Emery’s stats in previous clubs than we come to the conclusion that he has been quit a successful manager in French club PSG. He won one <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/ligue-1-ligue-1-is-most-prestigious.html" target="_blank">Ligue 1 title</a> (2017–18), two Coupe de France titles (2016–17, 2017–18), two Coupe de la Ligue titles (2016–17, 2017–18) and two Trophée des Champions title (2016, 2017). With this history, he will be an ideal option as a manager for the French clubs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Freddie Ljungberg took over the charge as a temporary replacement of Emery. It will be challenging for Freddie to turn things around for Arsenal.</div>

Its Ronaldo’s second season at Juventus and it looks like he is still not able to settle-in <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/serie-a.html" target="_blank">Serie A</a>. Portuguese star could scored 23 goals in 43 matches last season but it was his first season due to which he could not perform equivalent to his caliber.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg2PhyphenhypheneTdiKo_P54mK3fTw5xwGcLBkrjidgneI_cRaQyqplBmPd7c5EZBy3MX5UnNHRn76BbREjgBlSKQbLpcB5k_Os-Db1VYiQfh-5qBiDiLglSV9V2uUDk8q8N5BacrF-NSgXPiX3w/s1600/ronaldo+to+united.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ronaldo to Manchester United" border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg2PhyphenhypheneTdiKo_P54mK3fTw5xwGcLBkrjidgneI_cRaQyqplBmPd7c5EZBy3MX5UnNHRn76BbREjgBlSKQbLpcB5k_Os-Db1VYiQfh-5qBiDiLglSV9V2uUDk8q8N5BacrF-NSgXPiX3w/s1600/ronaldo+to+united.jpg" title="" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/cristiano-ronaldo.html" target="_blank">Ronaldo</a> is still not able to get back to his old goal scoring form. He has scored only 6 goals in last 14 matches for Juventus. He was also substituted during the second half in last two consecutive matches. Sarri blamed the knee injury of Ronaldo for his substitution but the Portuguese proved his fitness in the international match verses Lithuania by scoring hat-trick.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So things are not working for Cristiano and his future is uncertain at Juventus. He needs to make a decision about his future. Recently it has been claimed by a Spanish football journalist Eduardo Inda that “Ronaldo is bearing in mind a shock return to Manchester United if Juventus doesn’t win the Champions League this season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ronaldo is not satisfied with his performance of previous season in Juventus and he is still having issues in the current season. It would not be wrong if we say that Portuguese star is facing relationship issues with his boss Maurizio Sarri.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Five times Ballon d’Or winner was substituted twice in last two consecutive games and he showed his devastated feelings by leaving the bench before the final whistle with anger. In the post match interview, Sarri claimed that Ronaldo left because he was injured but Portuguese skipper proved him wrong by scoring a hat-trick against Lithuania. Cristiano scored 4 goals in last two international matches for Portugal which confirms his fitness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been reported that 34 years Old Portuguese has decided to leave Juventus at the end of the season if he could not win the <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/uefa-champions-league.html" target="_blank">UEFA Champions league</a> with the club. Ronaldo has record of winning three consecutive UCL titles with Real Madrid before joining Juventus. According to reports, 34 years old striker has also decided his next potential destination which is Old Trafford.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to football journalist, Juventus is looking forward to sign Paul Pogba from the Red Devils and Kylian Mbappe from PSG which shows that they are not much interested in keeping the Portuguese because if they want to sign the two players then they will have to allow Ronaldo to sign other club to generate funds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<div dir="ltr" lang="en">
🗣️ Sarri on why he took off Ronaldo: <br />
<br />
"He did everything possible to play, but I saw he was not well and thought it best to take him off.<br />
<br />
"All players who are trying to give their best will have at least five minutes of being annoyed when they are substituted." <a href="https://t.co/PHi8ib1WcV">pic.twitter.com/PHi8ib1WcV</a></div>

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cristiano Ronaldo had an outstanding career at Old Trafford. He has won three <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/premier-league.html" target="_blank">Premier League</a> titles, one UEFA Champions league title and one FA Cup with Manchester United. He scored 118 goals in 294 matches for the Red devils. So if he returns to Old Trafford than it will be not difficult to settle in.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The international football career is very stable for 34 years-Old Portuguese and he looks satisfied with his recent achievements for Portugal but he is not enjoying his club football at the moment. This year is crucial for his career and we will definitely see some changing in the future. </div>

After the departure of Arsene Wenger form the club, Arsenal is lacking a tactical and reliable manager in the club. The Frenchman stabilized the struggling club and appended it to top four best clubs of Premier league.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Manchester United is suffering from the same situation. The Red devils are desperately missing the legendary sir Alex Ferguson. They are currently at number seven in the <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/premier-league.html" target="_blank">Premier League</a> table. Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho could not restore the glory of the club and had to leave the club.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is quite obvious that both clubs are struggling in the absence of their legends managers. Let’s talk about Arsenal; the Gunners are at 6th position in the league table. They could not grab a win in their last four matches. Although sixth position is not a bad performance at this stage of the season but if the club wants to restore their glory then they need to make extraordinary reforms in the club. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Emery’s future in club is clearly uncertain with this kind of performance. The Gunners could only win 4 of their 12 league matches. With -7 goal difference it will be difficult for the Arsenal to progress in the table position. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a recent report from The Sun, Emery can be sacked in the near future from the managerial position due to uncertain club performance in the season and two possible Emery’s replacements are also mentioned in the report. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this article, we take a look on these two possible replacements of Gunner’s current boss. According to The Sun, Mikel Arteta is linked with this replacement and he is the most favorite choice for the managerial position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ex – Arsenal’s captain Arteta is currently appointed as the assistant manager in Manchester City and working under the most successful manager of the decade Pep Guardiola. He has spent 6 years in Arsenal and won one FA Cup and FA Community Shield in 2014. He has been a successful captain in Arsenal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also has two years of experience as assistant manager of Manchester City. Arteta also has the experience of playing under Wenger’s management and he is well familiar with traditional game of Arsenal. He would certainly be a best choice to replace Emery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<div dir="ltr" lang="en">
Steven Gerrard is being tipped to quit Rangers for Arsenal if Unai Emery gets sacked.<br />
<br />
Would you be happy with that Arsenal fans? 👀<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steven Gerrard is another suitable option for The Gunners. He has plenty of experience of English football. He has played 710 matches for Liverpool and won two FA Cups (2001 and 2006), three Football league cups (2001, 2003 and 2012), one <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/uefa-champions-league.html" target="_blank">UEFA Champions league</a> in 2005 and one FA Community Shield in 2006. With this level of experience Steven Gerrard is an attractive option for the Gunners.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He is currently serving as a manager of Rangers and under his supervision, Rangers has won 53 matches, draw 22 matches and lost only 12 matches in last two league seasons. Rangers could not win the league title under his management but with 60 percent of win rate, he is a good option for the North-London side.<br />

<a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/cristiano-ronaldo.html" target="_blank">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> was substituted in the second half of the game against AC Milan. It was second consecutive match in which Ronaldo was substituted by Sarri. Fans in the stadium did not like the changing of Ronaldo and reacted aggressively to the decision. </div>

5 times <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/ballon-dor.html" target="_blank">Ballon d’Or</a> winner was substituted with Paulo Dybala, who scored the only goal of the match during the 77th minute of the match with a superb assist from Higuain. It was a difficult match for Juventus because AC Milan was playing with a lot more confidence and possession. With this crucial win Juventus successfully managed the keep the top position in the league table.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It ended well for the Italian giant but Ronaldo looked dejected after the substitution. He also exchanged some words with Maurizio Sarri at the end of the match. Media reported that 34-years-old Portuguese left the stadium before the final whistle.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the post match interview Sarri expressed his views about the incident. He said, “I don’t know if Cristiano left the stadium early and if it’s true than it is an issue to resolve. I have no problem with Cristiano, infect he should be thanked that he was available for the match despite coming from an injury. We all know that he had a knee injury last month which is still creating a little problem for him”</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sarri also defended Cristiano by saying, “he (Ronaldo) is still struggling with his knee injury. It is important that he voluntarily made himself available for match and it is natural for a player to get angry on substitution”. It was the second time that Ronaldo has been substituted in the second half. He looked very furious for Sarri’s decision.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Juventus is still unbeaten in the league with 10 wins and two draws in twelve matches. Inter Milan is just one point behind the Juventus in the table. On the other side AC Milan has a rough season so far and the club is at 14th place in the table with just 4 wins in 12 matches.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was reported that CR7 left the stadium before the final whistle and he was enraged due to the two consecutive substitutions in last two matches. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ronaldo’s team-mate Wojciech Szczesny also came forward to defend Portuguese. He said, “Cristiano’s angry reaction on the substitution against AC Milan is normal. He is a player who performs in big match and I am sure he will play a significant role in the decisive moments of the season.”</div>

Bayern Munich came from behind and scored seven goals to secure a victory against Tottenham Hotspur in the second match of <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/uefa-champions-league.html" target="_blank">UEFA Champions League</a>. The home defeat by 7 goals can be very expensive for Hotspur and can affect their position in the group.</div>

Tottenham was also lost in their first UCL match against Olympiacos. The match was ended in a 2 : 2 draw. It was the most embarrassing for Hotspur in North London. Pochettino’s side took an early lead when Son Heung-min scored goal during the 12th minute of the first half. The one goal lead could not last longer and Joshua Kimmich scored an equalizer just 3 minute after the first goal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
31 year old Lewandowski gave lead to the Bayern by scoring a brilliant goal just before the end of the first half. The German Striker looked unstoppable during the match and scored two goals for his team.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before the match many sports journalists were comparing Lewandowski with the Hotspur striker Kane but he did not looked sharp enough during the whole match. He had few chances during the second half but he could not avail them. Kane scored a goal on penalty during the 61st minute of the second half but the damage was done and Munich still had two goals lead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The man of the match was the ex-Arsenal man Serge Gnabry who scored four amazing goals for the German side. The pace of Gnabry brutally exposed the Tottenham’s defense. Tottenham’s defense looked struggling in front of the pace of Gnabry and experience of Lewandowski.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was the first time in history that Tottenham conceded 7 goals at home in Champions League match. That match should be an eye-opener for Pochettino’s side. Spurs were lacking the control during the whole 90 minutes.</div>

The 7 : 2 result in an away match is a great sign for Bayern Munich. It was believed that Bayern was going through a transition phase but the outstanding performance from the German side stunned the audience and Critics.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bayern is leading the group B with two wins and 6 points. Their next match is with the struggling Olympiacos on 23rd October which will be much easy match for the German giants. Tottenham next match is against Crvena Zvezda which is a must win match for them. Serbian club has advantage of a win against Olympiacos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pochettino looked a bit worried due the outcome of the match. He told BT Sports during a post match interview, “When you receive this type of result, it is important to believe in yourself. That is the only way to recover. You have to be strong and keep going. We have to stay together and help each other. The best medicine is to be all together.”</div>

Manchester City produced their biggest victory of the decade against Watford. They made record of scoring the quickest five goals in just 18 minutes. Away team looked miserable during the whole game.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spanish Winger David Silva scored the first goal for City in just 52 second of the first half. Early goal for the home side boosted the moral the defending Champions. Just 6 minute after the first goal, City got penalty and Aguero made no mistake in converting the penalty into goal.<br />
<br />
Two goals in just 6 minutes! Manchester City got the full control of the game in the starting minutes of the match. On the other side, Watford is going through some bad form this season. After losing their first 3 matches of the Premier League, Hornets are failed to make comeback.<br />
<br />
Third goal for City came in 12th minute when Mahrez got a free kick and he scored an outstanding free kick goal with the help of deflection with Cleverley. The ball diverted and Foster had no chance to stop the goal.<br />
<br />
Just 3 minutes later Bernardo scored the fourth goal for the Sky Blues and within 18 minutes of the first half Otamendi scored the fifth goal for the home side. City forwards were not facing any resistance from the visitors. It seemed that Watford defenders stopped defending.<br />

Well that's true! the first time in the history, Real Madrid finished a match with no shots on target. The start of <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/uefa-champions-league.html" target="_blank">UEFA Champions league</a> has been horrible for the Spanish giants. Real Madrid lost their opening match of UCL against PSG with 3 goals deficit.</div>

Winner of 33 LaLiga titles, 13 UEFA Champions league titles and 19 Copa del Rey titles, could not impress the fans in the first match of group stage of UCL. Real Madrid looked clueless and out of form during the whole match.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the starting minutes of the first half, Real Madrid was struggling to keep the possession and on the other side the home team looked much more confident. During the 14th minute of the first half, Di Maria got an opportunity to score. Bernat did a cutback pass to the Argentinean and that was an easy ball to score. Di Maria converted the amazing pass into a superb goal. French giants got the early lead in the match.</div>

Just 19 minute after the first goal, Di Maria scored another amazing goal by dipping the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal post. That was a fine assist from Gueye.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Second goal from the home side in the first half, broke the opposition. Real Madrid team became under pressure. Gareth Bale was the only player from Los Blancos who show some class and gave his 100% effort to bring Real Madrid back into the game.</div>

It was not Neymar, nor Mbappe nor Cavani, it was Di Maria who showed inspiring performance for PSG and gave his club two goals lead in the first half over the Spanish giants.

Madrid midfielder Casemiro said in a post-match interview, “They (PSG) are very strong, they have great players but there are no excuses. We have not played well but there is still time for comeback”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That is the alarming situation for Madrid that even having Eden Hazar, Benzima and Bale in the forward lineup, they could not show a satisfactory performance. Real Madrid also showed an average performance in La Liga so far, they won two matches in their four starting game of the season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One positive thing for the Madrid is that they have <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/zinedine-zidane.html" target="_blank">Zainudin Zidane</a> as a coach and he must be having a plan B for the Los Blancos.</div>

<a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/cristiano-ronaldo.html" target="_blank">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> was very close to join Arsenal in 2003 and he had several meetings with ex-Arsenal boss Arsene Wanger to finalize the move. Portuguese star himself revealed this in an interview with Piers Morgan.</div>

Portuguese captain could have been a Gunner's striker instead of Red Devil. 18 years old Ronaldo impressed some of the world’s best coaches when he was playing for Sporting Lisbon and Arsene Wanger was one of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gunner’s boss was the first person who approached the management of Sporting Lisbon to bring the Portuguese boy to English premier league. Ronaldo seems thankful to Arsene Wanger for his effort to bring Cristiano to EPL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In November 2003, Ronaldo met with Wanger for discussing the possible transfer. Everything was finalized between Cristiano and Wager but move could not be successful because Arsenal was not willing to pay £12.24 million transfer fee to Sporting Lisbon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was also trying to sign the future superstar. United agreed to pay the transfer fee of winger and finally Portuguese moved to Premier League to become the greatest player in football history.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He spent six seasons in Old Trafford and won three Premier League titles and one Champions league title. Ronaldo also received <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/ballon-dor.html" target="_blank">Ballon d’Or</a>,<a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/golden-shoe-awards.html" target="_blank"> European Golden Shoe award</a>,<a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/uefa-club-footballer.html" target="_blank"> UEFA Club Footballer of the year award</a>, UEFA Club Forward of the year award and <a href="https://thefootballogs.blogspot.com/p/fifa-world-player-of-year-award.html" target="_blank">FIFA world payer of the year</a> in 2008.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ronaldo gave an interview to Piers Morgan for ITV and he shared the whole incident of his move to Premier League from Portugal. Piers Morgan is a huge Arsenal fan and he asked Ronaldo about the Arsenal move.</div>

Portuguese replied, “It’s true that I was very close, one step away. Incredible. They’re a fantastic club. “It didn’t happen, but I appreciate what they did for me, especially Arsene Wenger”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ronaldo broke down into tear when he mentioned his father Jose Aveiro. He said that his father could not see his success and rise as a football player. He was only 20 year old when his father died and he could not share the best moments of his life with his father.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Piers asked him about his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, Portuguese replied that he will marry to her one day which is the dream of his mother as well.</div>
