'I wish I could refuse to come off': Kompany mocks Kepa row

'I wish I could refuse to come off': Kompany mocks Kepa row

LONDON (AFP) - Manchester City star Vincent Kompany admitted he was stunned to see Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refuse to be substituted during an astonishing League Cup final row with Blues boss Maurizio Sarri.
Kepa was set to be replaced in the final moments of extra-time after going down with cramp for the second time in the Wembley clash.
But, as Sarri prepared to send on reserve keeper Willy Caballero, Kepa signalled that he was fit to carry on.
Sarri insisted Kepa come off, but the Spaniard wouldn't budge, leading to a furious meltdown from the Chelsea boss, who briefly stormed down the tunnel before returning to his post.
The match finished 0-0 and City went on to win 4-3 on penalties, despite Kepa saving Leroy Sane's effort in the shoot-out.
Kompany, who came on at half-time for the injured Aymeric Laporte, said he had never seen anything like it.
"Of course I've never seen it. I wish I could do it every now and then when I don't want to get subbed off," Kompany said.

 
Kompany said he was glad not to face Caballero, who helped City win the 2016 League Cup final by saving three penalties in a shoot-out against Liverpool.
"I know how good Willy is on penalties, when we won this competition against Liverpool he was tremendous, he won the penalties for us and it would be another mind game to be played," Kompany said.
"It didn't happen and the confidence was there to score the penalties."
Former Chelsea captain John Terry, watching the match as a pundit for Sky Sports, called on Sarri to resolve the situation immediately.
"It will be interesting to see if Kepa plays the next game. If I was in the dressing room I would expect the manager to come in and deal with it straight away," Terry said.



Maurizio Sarri has announced that he cannot do anything if Eden Hazard wants to leave Chelsea and sign for Real Madrid during the summer transfer window.

Football: Jurgen Klopp fumes over Vincent Kompany foul on Mohamed Salah

Football: Jurgen Klopp fumes over Vincent Kompany foul on Mohamed Salah

MANCHESTER (AFP) - Jurgen Klopp claimed Vincent Kompany should have been sent off for his ugly foul on Mohamed Salah as Liverpool's title charge was hit by a 2-1 defeat against Manchester City on Friday (Jan 4) morning (Singapore time).
Reds boss Klopp was furious that City captain Kompany escaped with only a yellow card from referee Anthony Taylor following his two-footed lunge on Salah in the first half at the Etihad Stadium.
Egypt forward Salah was able to play on after the foul, but Klopp insisted that was just luck because Kompany could have ended his season with the challenge.
The decision not to dismiss Kompany proved a crucial moment according to Klopp as City went on to snatch the points thanks to Leroy Sane's late winner after Roberto Firmino had cancelled out Sergio Aguero's opener.
"I really like Vincent Kompany but how on Earth is that not a red card? He is last man and he goes in," Klopp said.
"If he hits Mo more he is out for the season."
Unsurprisingly, Kompany disagreed with Klopp's verdict and insisted he had made a firm but fair tackle.

 
"I thought it was a great challenge, was it not? I got the ball, a little bit of the man but it wasn't naughty," said Kompany, who was seen urging Salah to get up following the crunching tackle.
"I didn't try to injure him. It was that or let him go through on goal."
Klopp's frustration at Kompany's escape was exacerbated as Liverpool slumped to their first league defeat this season, ending a 20-match unbeaten run.
With the table-topping Reds hoping to win the English title for the first time since 1990, letting second-placed City move back within four points of them was a significant blow.
Liverpool were rarely at their best and Klopp conceded the intensity of such a high-stakes game had affected his players.
"It was a big pressure. Very intense game. We were unlucky in our finishing moments. Unluckier than City I would say," Klopp said.
"Sane scores and the situation with Sadio when he hit the post. They had periods where they dominated the game and everybody felt the intensity.
"Our expectations are high. We can play better. You have to take the game how it is. You can't always dominate it."
Klopp insisted Liverpool would bounce back from their first setback of what has been a dream season so far.
"I have already said to the boys this is OK. We lost it but it will happen. Tonight it is not nice but it is not the biggest problem," he said.

Football: Returning Ozil has Arsenal future says Emery

Football: Returning Ozil has Arsenal future says Emery

LONDON (AFP) - Mesut Ozil will return to the Arsenal squad for Saturday's (Dec 22) Premier League visit of Burnley, with manager Unai Emery saying he believes the midfielder has a future at the Emirates Stadium.
Ozil did not make the substitutes' bench for the League Cup quarter-final defeat to rivals Tottenham in midweek and has been on the fringes of the team in recent weeks.
He missed four recent games with a back problem but has started just once since November 11 - and that was a Europa League dead rubber at home to Qarabag.
The 30-year-old was a mainstay in the Gunners side under previous manager Arsene Wenger but Emery has shown he has no issue with keeping the club's highest-paid player on the sidelines.
Asked if Ozil will be in the squad to face Burnley, Emery said: "Yes. I want every player with a good mentality to help us and give us their characteristics and quality. We need Mesut Ozil.
"Every player wants to play and be OK to help the team when we need. The frustration is the same for everybody when they didn't play in a match.
"But I spoke with him and with regularity in the season. I am telling him what we need from him and he has the commitment to help us and the quality and the characteristics to help us when the team needs his moments in the pitch in one game. Tomorrow he is in the 18 players, in the squad."
Ozil's lack of game-time has led to rumours linking him with a January move away from the club, although when asked if the former Germany international has a future at Arsenal, Emery replied: "Yes, why not?"
It remains to be seen what role Ozil plays at the weekend but it appears unlikely that captain Laurent Koscielny will feature.
The 33-year-old has recently returned from a serious Achilles issue that had kept him out since May.
He started against both Qarabag and Southampton and came on at the interval against Spurs but, despite being without a number of injured defenders, Emery is keen not to ask too much of Koscielny at a delicate stage of his comeback.
"Koscielny is OK but he played two matches this week and tomorrow will be a lot for him," he said.
"We also need to be calm with him, to take time for a lot of matches before he continues playing. But I trust him and we have solutions for who can play in this position."

Football: I cannot stop Messi alone, admits Liverpool's Van Dijk

Football: I cannot stop Messi alone, admits Liverpool's Van Dijk

LONDON (AFP) - Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk insists he will not face a personal duel against Lionel Messi in his side's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.
Van Dijk is in contention for player of the year awards in England thanks to his transformative effect on Liverpool since becoming the world's most expensive defender when moving from Southampton for £75 million (S$130 million) last January.
However, the Dutchman believes a collective effort is required to halt Messi, who has scored 45 goals this season, two of which helped Barca beat Manchester United 4-0 on aggregate to progress to the last four.
"I think he's the best player in the world but we'll see. It's going to be a great match-up for all of us," said Van Dijk, who netted himself as Liverpool thrashed Porto 4-1 on Wednesday to complete a 6-1 aggregate victory.
"It's about doing it all together, it's never one-v-one, it's never just me against a particular striker.
"It's always us against everyone and I think that's the only way we can defend well."
Liverpool's defence could be further bolstered for the Premier League and Champions League run-in by the return of Joe Gomez. Gomez formed a formidable partnership with Van Dijk earlier in the season before breaking a leg in December.

 
Gomez made his return as a substitute in northern Portugal and is also preparing himself for the prospect of facing the "best player in the world" in Messi.
"It'll be a difficult game. They're one of the best in the world, clearly, and they've probably got the best player in the world and many others around him," said Gomez.
"So it's going to be a difficult game, but that's what the Champions League is about.

LONDON ̢ۢ While the neutral observer may be wondering what all the fuss is about over Callum Hudson-Odoi, who has yet to start in the Premier League, Bayern Munich believe he can be their equivalent of Jadon Sancho.
The Borussia Dortmund winger opted to leave Manchester City for Germany in August 2017 in search of more playing time, and the England international has not looked back since, becoming one of the hottest prospects in European football.
The six-time defending Bundesliga champions also clearly feel Hudson-Odoi has what it takes to follow in Sancho's footsteps, which is why the English winger has been the subject of four separate bids since last month - the latest being £35 million (S$60.2 million), catapulting the relatively unknown 18-year-old into the limelight.
But Chelsea have been incensed at the lengths Bayern are going to court their academy product, who has been handed successive starts in their last two games against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham for the first time in his career.
While the club are still hoping a run in the first team, which could continue today in the league against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge, might persuade him to stay, it appears his head has been turned.
According to Sky Sports, Hudson-Odoi wants to leave the club and, with only 18 months left on his deal, he holds all the cards.
With his contract situation leaving Chelsea in a bind, Blues boss Maurizio Sarri directed his ire at the Bavarian giants at his press conference yesterday, claiming Bayern "did not respect our club" after sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said in midweek Hudson-Odoi was a player they "would definitely like to have".

GETTING BETTER
He is working very well at the moment, so I am happy with the player.
MAURIZIO SARRI, Chelsea manager, rates the 18-year-old winger Callum Hudson-Odoi, who is also wanted by German champions Bayern Munich.

He blasted: "It's not professional because they are talking about a player under contract with Chelsea. I am very, very happy with the player because he is improving a lot in the defensive phase.
"Now he needs to improve in some movements without the ball. He is working very well at the moment, so I am happy with the player and I would like to have him in the future."
The Italian revealed he had recommended to the club hierarchy that two players be signed in the January transfer window, but declined to give any names or state their positions. "I spoke with the club and the club know very well my opinion," he said.
He also shot down speculation over Willian's future, despite British media reports linking the "very important" Brazil forward with Barcelona, insisting "it's impossible to lose him in January".
However, Sarri hinted that misfiring £60 million club-record signing Alvaro Morata could leave on loan, but reiterated it would only happen if there was a like-for-like "replacement" for the striker, who has scored just five league goals in 16 games this term.

Football: Aubameyang brace gives Arsenal win over Burnley

Football: Aubameyang brace gives Arsenal win over Burnley

LONDON (REUTERS) - Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang shot to the top of the Premier League scoring charts with two goals in Saturday's (Dec 22) 3-1 home win over struggling Burnley, returning his side to winning ways after two straight defeats.
The Gabon forward gave Arsenal the lead in the 14th minute, knocking in a pass from Sead Kolasinac after a classy ball from Mesut Ozil. He then smashed high into the net in the 48th to complete an impressive counter-attack from Unai Emery's side.
Burnley, 18th in the table and without an away win since September, hit back with a scrappy goal from Ashley Barnes having spurned a good chance to take an unlikely lead at the start of the game when Ashley Westwood was denied by the feet of Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
Substitute Alex Iwobi restored Arsenal's two-goal cushion with a simple finish in stoppage-time, helped by another clever move from German playmaker Ozil, who was left out of the team for Wednesday's 2-0 League Cup defeat by Tottenham Hotspur.
Aubameyang's brace moved him on to 12 goals for the season, leapfrogging Liverpool's Mohamed Salah as the league's top scorer and taking fifth-placed Arsenal on to 37 points, level with Chelsea who play Leicester City later.
Arsenal's 22-game unbeaten run in all competitions was halted on Sunday with a 3-2 defeat at Southampton and they were knocked out of the League Cup at the quarter-final stage with a painful home loss to north London neighbours Tottenham.
They were given little respite from a highly physical Burnley side but ultimately had too much quality for Sean Dyche's side.
"We expected it to be tough, we prepared the match thinking about what they would do, that they would be strong in the air, so we made sure we won the duels and we also wanted to impose our game plan," Arsenal coach Emery told reporters.
"We could not play as we wanted to for 90 minutes but we are very happy with the victory. Physicality is part of football, you always need to be strong as well as impose your quality, and our victory today is a consequence of this."
Burnley coach Dyche credited his team for causing Arsenal problems, but cursed their own defensive vulnerabilities.
"Overall, I was pleased with the performance, especially the mentality to come here and take on the game," he said.
"A couple of their goals were soft, but attacking-wise we were a problem today for them. We could have got something but we know even with a good performance you can't afford to give away goals like the two we let in."
