Why Russian football needs a foreign head of referees
Why Russian football needs a foreign head of referees Dmitry Egorov - that Dyukov's decision looks logical, no matter how much he is criticized. Football referees in Russia will now be managed by Hungarian Viktor Kaszsály and Russian Sergey Fursa. Although controversial, it is a logical decision by RFU head Alexander Dyukov. And no offense to our other referees, but they themselves have eaten each other up, having lost their strength and trust. In general, we live in such a time in football, when there is no point in dwelling on personalities. Personally, I may like Alexander Egorov, someone else - Nikolai Levnikov, a third - Valentin Ivanov. Maybe someone will like Mr. Budogossky. But the problem is not whether they are good performers, honest comrades and talented craftsmen - it is simply that they are all ultimately the heads of one Russian refereeing monster. A monster whose heads will never stop framing and disfiguring each other. And so - at all stages of a strong and unc...

Messi commented on Barcelona's exit from the Spanish Super Cup
Messi comments on Barcelona's exit from the Spanish Super Cup Barcelona forward Lionel Messi shared his thoughts on the result of the Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Atletico Madrid (2-3). "We need to improve a lot of things, and we are aware of that, but today we were one step away from avoiding defeat. We realize that we are not playing as well as we would like, as well as we can. This year, we will try to continue the way we did today, but we will not make the childish mistakes we made. When a team loses and does not achieve its goals, it is normal for people to start talking about the coach. We must be more united than ever, be a strong team and move forward.

Real Madrid Castilla picked up a point at the Nuevo Ganzábal against Langreo. The task became difficult for the Whites in the 25th minute after Marc Nierga's goal, but debutant Marc Gual levelled the match up after the break. Raul's side are now unbeaten in their second consecutive match and will face Las Palmas Atletico at the Di Stefano in their next game. The reserves took to the field in a t-shirt in support of Pedro and were good in possession from the start and were very incisive on the flanks. It was Martin who tried his luck from distance with two efforts, but both shots were stopped by Adrian. In the 12th minute, a new attack by the Whites ended with César claiming for a penalty after an incident in the area. Despite Real Madrid's initiative, the Asturian team took the lead in...

Southampton vs. Chelsea - Blues coming off a big away win
Southampton vs. Chelsea: 0:3 The Blues are coming off a big win away to Southampton. Despite the big final score and the ease with which the win was achieved in the south of England, the Blues did not play without mistakes. The overall superiority of Maurizio Sarri's side in terms of play and statistics was slightly undermined by the number of dangerous situations they created. The luck of the home forwards, the timely and committed play of the Chelsea defenders and, of course, the saves of Kepa Arrizabalaga allowed the Londoners to return from St. Mary's without conceding a goal. Other than that, the Londoners were good, completely outplaying their opponents, dominating possession and making the most of their chances. Victory on the eve of the weekend's marquee match will allow the Blues to spend a few hours at the top of the table, something that was hard to believe at the start of the season. The game started at a fast pace with both teams looking to attack. In the ...
