There s a big chance of winning a trophy here or a bigger chance than where I was of course, he said.
The Champions League final was a very bad day, we lost which you don t want to remember.
I m here to win and start something new. The last time I won something was at Ajax so it s many years ago. I still remember the feeling so I want to achieve it here as well.
Those are the words of Inter Milan star Christian Eriksen who explained his decision to join the Italian giants during a recent interview with Sky Italy. The Danish international made the jump over from Tottenham Hotspur for a fee believed to be worth around €20 million, confirming the transfer that many had been expecting for quite some time.
While Eriksen has provided Spurs fans…
New head coach Mikel Arteta has been welcomed back to the Arsenal family by his former Gunners team-mate Mesut Ozil.
Arteta has penned a three-and-a-half-year contract with Arsenal and will take up his new role on Sunday after leaving Manchester City, where he has been Pep Guardiola s assistant for the last three seasons.
The former midfielder joined Arsenal from Everton in 2011, spending five years with the Gunners before retiring in 2016 and moving into a coaching role under Guardiola.
He replaces his compatriot Unai Emery, who was dismissed after a dismal run of form that interim boss Freddie Ljungberg has been unable to significantly improve on.
Ozil, who played alongside Arteta for three seasons and found himself out of favour for long periods unde…

Looking to cause an upset when they turn their attention back to Champions League duties, Villarreal will welcome Bayern Munich to the Estadio de la Cerámica on Wednesday night.
Villarreal
Starting with the hosts, although Villarreal might have stunned many across Europe as they overcame Italian giants Juventus last month, it appears that the Yellow Submarine are struggling with their consistency. While Head Coach Unai Emery might have seen his side pick up that famous 3-0 romp in Turin on March 16th, the former Arsenal boss saw his side put in another flat display last weekend. Marking their return from the international break with a shock 2-0 defeat away at Levante, the defending Europa League winners have suffered back-to-back La L…
Betting on defensive player props in the NFL is all about matchups. When it comes to Week 11 odds, I’m looking to fade a young Chiefs pass rusher against a future Hall of Fame right tackle while backing Lions end Aidan Hutchinson to have a field day in Detroit.
I’m also digging into the NFL odds in the tackles market for a few other plays this week. Here are my favorite sack and tackle NFL picks for Week 11.

England manager Sam Allardyce wants Great Britain to play football at the Olympic Games, feeling the opportunity to play on such a stage cannot be squandered.
Britain was represented by both men s and women s football teams when the country hosted the Games at London 2012.
The men s squad featured the likes of Ryan Giggs, Aaron Ramsey, Daniel Sturridge and Craig Bellamy but suffered a quarter-final exit at the hands of South Korea in a penalty shoot-out.
Canada knocked the women s team out in the last eight, with neither side reformed for Rio 2016, where Great Britain have so far won 66 medals.
But Allardyce told the BBC: I think it is a fantastic venue, once every four years, and to turn it down is a great shame.
When you see the delight …
As decided by the executive committee last week—but not leaked until yesterday—the NHL is prepared to expand to Las Vegas for the 2017-18 season, assuming billionaire prospective owner Bill Foley and friends can come up with the $500 million expansion fee. (They can.) That’s tough news for fans in Quebec City, who have been without major pro sports team since the Nordiques packed up for Denver in 1995. Quebec will have to wait; the market was deemed “too small” and the weak Canadian dollar scared off the NHL, and the unbalanced conferences mean the league could really use one more team in the West. (The NHL desperately wants to get into Seattle, but that is dependent on a new arena, which is itself dependent on the promise of an NBA team. It might be a long wait.) But it�…
