“It is in general a positive season so far www.thetopsoccer.com/as-roma , although if it weren’t for a few too many draws and some injuries to big players, we could’ve had four or five more Serie A points.” Those were the words of Sassuolo coach Roberto De Zerbi as he spoke to Rai Sport in the aftermath of his side’s 2-0 defeat to Napoli in the Coppa Italia on Sunday night. Indeed, the Neroverdi can count themselves unlucky not to have kicked on from what was an extremely positive start to the campaign.Ultimately, De Zerbi is achieving what he was brought in to do by president Giorgio Squinzi. Indeed, his main remit was to give the team a lift following the disappointment of last season, throughout which it was abundantly clear that the Reggio Emilia outfit had failed to adequately replace former boss Eusebio Di Francesco. It is fair to say that the Cristian Bucchi project seemed destined to fail from the outset, while the style of football deployed by Beppe Iachini was to the detriment of the technically-gifted young players who were at his disposal.Generally speaking, the ex-Foggia tactician has deployed a 4-3-3 formation since taking charge in the middle of June last year. Despite the fact that Benevento were relegated – the writing was on the wall long before De Zerbi was appointed midway through the 2017/18 campaign – he received many plaudits for his possession-based, attacking football. Though it took a year, he has proven to be an ideal successor to the aforementioned Di Francesco Cheap Atletico Madrid Soccer Jerseys , considering the pair share similar principles in terms of how the game should be played.With talents such as Domenico Berardi, Federico Di Francesco – son of Eusebio – and Kevin-Prince Boateng to choose from, De Zerbi tends to set his team up in a very fluid attacking system. In turn, this gives his opposite number very few reference points on which to base their own approach which can sometimes result in defenders being unable to mark one particular attack-minded player. Stefan de Vrij and Milan 艩kriniar must avoid being caught out by this when the two sides meet on Saturday night, or Inter could be left reeling from yet another defeat against their so-called bogey team.Looking back on the first meeting on the opening day of the season, it is clear that Luciano Spalletti’s side must take a much more determined approach. If their performance is anywhere near as passive as it was in August, then there is no doubt that they will find themselves in trouble. The reintroduction of de Vrij, as well as Kwadwo Asamoah, should help to provide the team with the balance it was lacking throughout the second half against Benevento at the weekend. This Inter side knows it can score goals, especially at home Cheap Barcelona Soccer Jerseys , but staying concentrated in order to keep the back door closed will be crucial to their chances of securing all three points against the visitors. MONACO (AP) — UEFA is putting forth St. Petersburg, Munich and Wembley as venues for a trio of Champions League finals, two people with knowledge of the process told The Associated Press.European football’s governing body typically awards the hosting rights one year at a time but it has decided to focus on longer-term planning after this year’s final in Istanbul in May, the people said. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss UEFA’s plans ahead of expected confirmation by the executive committee at a meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on Sept. 24.Russia and Germany were vying to host the final at the end of the 2020-21 season. But the 68,000-capacity home of Zenit St. Petersburg is now favored, with UEFA giving the 75,000-seat Allianz Arena in Munich, which staged the 2012 final Cheap Bayern Munich Soccer Shirts , another shot in 2022.The 90,000-capacity Wembley is due to host the 2023 final to mark the centenary year of the original stadium first opening on the north London site.UEFA is already using the three stadiums at the 2020 European Championship, with Wembley staging seven games including the semifinals and final. It will also be the venue of the Women’s European Championship final in 2021.The 2023 Champions League final will be the eighth time Wembley has been the venue for the European Cup title game, with the 2011 and 2013 taking place since the stadium was completely rebuilt.UEFA is about to start selling the television rights for 2021-24 and prospective broadcasters will now know where one of the most watched games in soccer will be staged for two of the three seasons in the cycle.UEFA is keen on using large venues for the Champions League final after Liverpool and Tottenham fans only got 16,000 tickets in Madrid — attendance at the Atletico stadium was given as 63,272.Since the 2005 final, only teams from England, Spain, Germany and Italy have reached the Champions League final.One decision already confirmed on Friday is a cap on ticket prices for away fans in the Champions League and Europa League, using the cheapest price for each competition’s finals.An emergency panel of UEFA agreed that away fans should be charged a maximum of 70 euros ($77) throughout the Champions League and 45 euros ($50) in the second-tier Europa League.The ruling came after Barcelona last season charged Liverpool and Manchester United fans 119 euros ($131).“This represents progress www.thetopsoccer.com/borussia-dortmund , and we commend UEFA for their forward thinking,” Football Supporters Europe executive director Ronan Evain said. “The cap will eliminate the most egregious cases of overpricing, but it is, in our opinion, still too high.“Thankfully, the impact of the new regulation will be reviewed at the end of the season, and as such, we will focus our efforts on lobbying the relevant parties to lower it,” he said.
