Juve, Ronaldo to avoid the US amid rape probe

Juve, Ronaldo to avoid the US amid rape probe

NEW YORK • Organisers of the International Champions Cup (ICC) - a high-profile summer tournament for the world's biggest football clubs - have decided to keep Juventus and their star Cristiano Ronaldo away from the United States this year, eliminating the risk of the Portuguese being detained by authorities as part of a rape investigation in Las Vegas.
While the bulk of the games of the annual tournament will take place in the US, Juventus will most likely take part in the Asian legs in China and Singapore, joined by Premier League teams Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, is playing in his first Italian Serie A season after joining Juventus from Real Madrid for more than US$114 million (S$155 million) last July.
Two months after his transfer, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said it had reopened an investigation into accusations by an American woman Kathryn Mayorga, who claimed Ronaldo raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009 and later paid her US$375,000 for her silence.
Ronaldo labelled it "fake news" and, at one point, his lawyers threatened to sue German magazine Der Spiegel who was the first to publish Mayorga's accusations.
It had obtained confidential documents related to the case, and the purported payment by Ronaldo to settle it, from whistleblower platform Football Leaks.
Juventus, who stood behind their star, have a multi-year agreement to play in the ICC, which is organised by New York-based Relevent Sports. Ronaldo's legal troubles played a role in shaping plans for Juventus' participation, according to people familiar with this summer's schedule, which will be released next week.
A spokesman for Juventus said "going east" to Asia was normal after spending recent pre-seasons in the US.
While pre-season tours are not seen as serious competition, they are vital for teams' preparations before the new season, and Juventus would have drawn unwanted scrutiny had it travelled to the US without Ronaldo.
Ronaldo, now 34, was playing for United when he met Mayorga, now 35, at a Las Vegas nightclub in 2009, just before his record-breaking transfer to Real.
She claimed Ronaldo invited her and others to his suite in the early hours of June 13, 2009 and he sexually assaulted her.
Ronaldo's lawyers have questioned the authenticity of some of the documents published by Der Spiegel, but have not denied that Ronaldo and Mayorga had a sexual encounter, which they contend was consensual.

Football: Liverpool's Lovren unlikely to face Bayern, says Klopp

LIVERPOOL, England (REUTERS) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp concedes he faces a selection dilemma as centre back Dejan Lovren is unlikely to feature against Bayern Munich in Tuesday's (Feb 19) Champions League last 16 fixture at Anfield.
Lovren is still recovering from a hamstring injury sustained against Wolverhampton Wanderers last month and the Croatia defender did not travel with the rest of the squad to the club's warm-weather training camp in Marbella this week.
"I don't want to rule it out but I cannot really plan with it," Klopp told the club's website.
"He is not here for good reasons, because he cannot be part of training. We are back on Friday. Then from Saturday on, Dejan is back at Melwood and we will see."
First-choice centre back Joe Gomez is out of action having undergone surgery on a fractured leg, with no timescale put on his return.
With Virgil van Dijk suspended for the first leg encounter against the German champions, Klopp may consider slotting in Brazil midfielder Fabinho alongside Joel Matip at the heart of the defence.
"Of course, we have to prepare it differently. If Dejan gives a sign on Monday - 'I feel brilliant' - then we'd have to think anew," Klopp added.
"But in the moment we prepare the game and in this preparation Dejan is not involved. We have to find other solutions."

Football: Injury, suspensions, rape accusation - Brazil star Neymar's troubled year

Football: Injury, suspensions, rape accusation - Brazil star Neymar's troubled year

PARIS (AFP) - A reoccurrence of an injury, two separate suspensions for insulting a referee and hitting a fan, losing Brazil's captaincy and now an accusation of rape, the world's most expensive footballer had a season to forget for club and country, on and off the field.
Here, AFP reflects on Neymar's difficult season starting with the World Cup in Brazil which could end up with a Copa America title on home soil:

1. Back for Brazil

After more than three months sidelined with a foot problem, his 69th-minute goal guides Brazil to a 2-0 World Cup warm-up friendly victory over eventual champions Croatia on June 3.

2. 'Pathetic diving'

Despite scoring once and claiming an assist as the Selecao qualified for the last 16, his World Cup group stage is marred by his "pathetic" diving as former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel told Russian broadcaster RT.

3. Bows out to boos

Brazil are knocked out of the World Cup in the quarter-finals by Belgium on July 6. Neymar is the victim of boos from a home crowd watching on a big screen in Rio every time he rolls on the ground, becoming an Internet joke for his theatrical efforts.

 
 
 

4. Depression

"I wouldn't go as far as to say I didn't want to play again but, I didn't want to see a ball, or to see any more football played," the 27-year-old told AFP on July 22 after the disappointment in Russia.

5. 'Sensational'

He scores a hat-trick in a 6-1 thumping of Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League group stage two months into the club season on Oct 3 which is described as 'sensational' by head coach Thomas Tuchel.

6. Ballon d'Or blip

He fails to make the top 10 of the shortlist for the first time since 2013, finishing in 12th place as Croatia's World Cup winning-midfielder Luka Modric takes the award in a ceremony held in the Brazilians's adopted home city Paris on Dec 3.

7. Same foot, same injury

With less than half an hour to play and Paris Saint-Germain leading Strasbourg 1-0 on Jan 23 in the second round of the French Cup, he limps off the Parc de Princes field with a similar foot injury to the one he suffered 13 months earlier. His return date is set for the Champions League quarter-finals but the Parisians have to face a resurgent Manchester United with new boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the last 16 before then.

8. Controversial Carnival

Despite still recovering from the metatarsal problem, he is filmed and photographed dancing at both Salvador and Rio carnivals in early March.

9. Referee rage

Forced to watch in the the stands as PSG are knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester United on March 6, he tells officials to "Go f*** yourselves" on Instagram afterwards.
He adds: "It's a disgrace. They get four guys who don't understand football to watch a slow-motion replay in front of the TV."

10. Tax probe

Newspaper El Mundo report in March that Spanish tax authorities are investigating the bonus he earned when he extended his Barcelona contract in 2017.
Officials are looking into whether the Brazilian paid tax related to his extra payments and his record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, the daily paper said.

11. Three-match ban

Six weeks after his referee rant on social media, Neymar is handed a three-match suspension by Uefa for his insults which rule him out of PSG's opening fixtures in next season's European campaign.

12. Fanfare

Two days later, PSG are beaten on penalties in the French Cup final by Rennes on April 28. He scores his side's second goal but hits a supporter as he collects his runners-up medal at the Stade de France.

13. 'The rebellious teenager'

The Brazilian press pounce on his Cup final misdemeanour, branding him a "coward" and a "rebellious teenager". PSG's Tuchel adds salt to the wound by saying: "I don't like it. You can't do that, you just can't do that."

14. Suspension No. 2

He is given another ban for three games, with a further two games suspended for lashing out at the spectator in the stands after the shock defeat by Rennes.

15. Shuns last PSG match

He heads back to Brazil to prepare for the Copa America after he claims to have been given permission to miss the league French champions' final game of the season on May 24. Coach Tuchel denies his reasoning.

16. Captaincy gone

Four days later, Brazil boss Tite takes the skipper's armband away from the 96-time international and gives it to club team-mate Dani Alves less than three weeks away from the start of the Copa America on home soil.

17. Rape allegation

According to a complaint filed with Sao Paolo police and reported by the UOL and GloboEsporte websites on June 1, he is accused of "using violence to have sex with the victim without her consent."

18. Allegation denied

A day later, he denies raping the woman, who accused him of sexually assaulting her at a Paris hotel, with his father claiming he is the victim of blackmail.
"I am accused of rape, it's a big word, it's very strong, but that is what has happened," Neymar said in a seven-minute video posted on Instagram.
Neymar, 27, then shows what he says is a long series of WhatsApp messages with the woman, including topless photographs of her in bed.

Football: Spurs boss Pochettino spared touchline ban for Champions League final

(REUTERS) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has been handed a suspended one-match touchline ban from European competitions after a late kick-off in their Champions League semi-final against Ajax Amsterdam, Uefa said on Friday.
The Argentinian's punishment - deferred for a probation period of one year - means he will be on the touchline when his team face Liverpool in an all-English Champions League final on June 1 in Madrid.
The European football governing body also fined Spurs €10,000 (S$15,366) for the offence, while charges against the north London club also included "improper conduct of officials".
Uefa's control, ethics and disciplinary body also warned Ajax coach Erik ten Hag for his involvement in the late kick-off in London.
Meanwhile, Barcelona were fined €20,000 for "insufficient organisation" during their 1-1 group-stage draw with Spurs at Camp Nou in December last year.
Ajax were hit with a fine of €52,500 by Uefa after being found guilty of crowd disturbances, throwing of objects and blocked stairways in their Champions League quarter-final home leg against Juventus last month.

Football: PSG fightback gives Man United belief against Barca, says Solskjaer

Football: PSG fightback gives Man United belief against Barca, says Solskjaer

MANCHESTER, United Kingdom (AFP) - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Manchester United's remarkable recovery to eliminate Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last 16 has instilled a belief they can also end Barcelona's European dreams.
The Spanish champions travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday (April 10) for the first leg of their quarter-final tie aiming to take another step closer to a third treble of La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey since 2009.
United have the onerous task of stopping an in-form Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, but Solskjaer is confident his side have learned from their mistakes in losing 2-0 at home to PSG before pulling off a miraculous 3-1 victory in Paris to progress on away goals.
"I can feel the tension, the excitement. I felt the mood ahead of PSG home game was different. We have learnt from that PSG game," said the Norwegian, who was appointed United's new permanent manager last month after a highly successful caretaker spell in charge.
"Of course when you get Barcelona, with the quality of their team, we know we need to step up our game.
"We know we need to perform to our best levels, which we didn't against PSG at home. The outcome of the second leg against PSG has given the players and supporters belief that the same is possible against Barcelona."
United's comeback at the Parc des Princes was even more remarkable as Solskjaer was without 10 first-team players.
He is short-handed once more with Ander Herrera, Antonio Valencia and Eric Bailly absent through injury.
However, Solskjaer is hopeful that Marcus Rashford and Nemanja Matic will be fit despite failing to take a full part in training on Tuesday.
"He needed an extra warm-up and hopefully he won't get a reaction," said Solskjaer on Rashford's fitness.
"Let's see tomorrow, but hopefully he can be ready."
Paul Pogba will return from suspension after being sent-off in the first leg defeat to PSG.
Pogba has yet to truly shine on the Champions League stage for United, but amid speculation that the French World Cup winner could be tempted by a summer move to Real Madrid, Solskjaer called on the club's record signing to focus on his job tomorrow and rise to the big occasion.
"At Paul's best he can run a game like this," said Solskjaer.
"Paul is looking forward to tomorrow. He is a Manchester United player and he is one of our big performers on the big stage.
"He knows the game against PSG was not his greatest moment. He is only focused on tomorrow playing well against Barcelona and I cannot see him not playing for Manchester United next season."

"Not to give up under any circumstances should be the motto of our life: we shall try again and again, and we are bound to succeed. There will be obstacles, but we have to defy them. So do not give up, do not give up! Continue, continue! The goal is ahead of you. If you do not give up, you are bound to reach your destined goal."

City must prove setback is temporary

City must prove setback is temporary
LONDON • There have been blips and disappointments before but, for the Manchester City Pep Guardiola would consider his own, the first searching questions have been asked.
Now it is about whether they can cope with expectation, rediscover defensive solidity and also that frisson of excitement in attack.
The pressure on City in the Premier League is finally on.
Defeat by Crystal Palace was not the same as the Champions League quarter-final loss to Liverpool last season when the title was all but sewn up, or the reverse at Manchester United's hands that merely delayed that coronation.
Nor could it be bracketed alongside those upsets in Guardiola's first term when the emphasis was about adjustment and there was the realisation that changes needed to be implemented.
The damage at the Etihad was clear with the straight-talking Fabian Delph describing Saturday's loss as a "massive setback", even if Palace boss Roy Hodgson downplayed the idea that a significant blow had been administered.
The truth lies somewhere in between.

NOT TIME TO PANIC
It's a massive setback but it's a very long season. Most games we are competing against ourselves to do better and the next game will be no different.
FABIAN DELPH, City midfielder, on their mid-season wobble.

This felt significant simply by virtue of the standards the English champions have previously set, and allowing for the relentlessness of leaders Liverpool.
It was also meaningful given that it is now two league defeats in three games in which they have conceded six goals, one fewer than Jurgen Klopp's unbeaten side have leaked all season.
Whether Palace's success, a mix of clinical finishing and defensive nous, shakes City awake or leaves them at a lull, not even Guardiola will know as yet.
That, in itself, will nag at a manager who craves control. As will the reality that the strain they are under is of their making ahead of tomorrow's league trip to Leicester, where a negative result, coupled with a positive one for the Reds could turn the "setback" into a "disaster".
City have injury doubts over Fernandinho, David Silva and Vincent Kompany, with the trio missing the Palace upset and Guardiola might again be forced to play defender John Stones in midfield - which Hodgson's players exploited - at the King Power Stadium.
The return fixture against Klopp's men on Jan 3 looms large and City's aberrations mean it is becoming a game they have to win.
But, before Liverpool, Leicester and the rejuvenated Southampton away on Sunday promise to be testing assignments for a side currently experiencing a wobble.
Proving they are indeed a side for all the seasons - and not just one - is a challenge Guardiola would not have anticipated facing a few weeks ago.

Football: Boateng set for shock Barcelona move - reports

Football: Boateng set for shock Barcelona move - reports
MADRID (AFP) - Ghanaian forward Kevin-Prince Boateng is on the verge of joining Barcelona in a shock loan move from Italian side Sassuolo, according to media reports in Spain on Monday.
Catalan daily Sport reported that the leaders of La Liga had agreed a deal to take Boateng on loan until the end of the season with an option to make the move permanent in the summer.
Madrid-based sports daily AS claimed Barcelona would pay eight million euros (S$12.36 million) in the event of a permanent transfer.
The arrival of Boateng, 31, would provide much-needed cover for Luis Suarez up front in Ernesto Valverde's squad following the departure of Munir El Haddadi to Sevilla.
Born in Germany, the half-brother of Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng moved to Serie A last year after helping Eintracht Frankfurt win the German Cup. He has scored five goals in 15 games this season for Sassuolo.
The former Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan and Schalke player has previously had a spell in Spain, with Las Palmas in 2016-17.

Football: Klopp, Guardiola would back players leaving pitch over racist abuse

Football: Klopp, Guardiola would back players leaving pitch over racist abuse

LONDON (REUTERS) - Juergen Klopp and Pep Guardiola are both willing to halt matches if players are subject to racist abuse, the like of which experienced by some England players in Montenegro this week.
Uefa has opened an investigation after England players Danny Rose, Raheem Sterling and Callum Hudson-Odoi said they were victims of the abuse during their 5-1 win in Podgorica.
Liverpool manager Klopp believes a walk off because of a minority of supporters would give "too much power for one or two idiots", but said the decision should be down to match officials if abuse escalated.
"If it's the whole stand I would do it, 100 per cent," Klopp told reporters ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
"But it's too much power for one or two idiots. We have to find ways to punish these incidents.
"It's not that the coaches should do that - match officials - because if I take the players off and they say it was not that serious, you lose the game, our job is to win football games."
Guardiola is also in favour of taking his Manchester City players off the pitch, adding football should try and set an example for action against racism.

 
 
 
"We could do that (walk off)," the Spaniard added.
"Football is a strong weapon to defend the principles of humanity. People said you can't mix football and politics but that's not true.
"It's not a football problem, it's society itself. I think in Europe, not in football, it's getting worse."
The Football Association Board met on Thursday to discuss the incidents in Montenegro and called on a structured campaign within Uefa and Fifa to ensure that incidents such as this are dealt with appropriately.
The Board also agreed that there should be more transparency on FA charges going forward when clubs are found to be in breach of the rules following such incidents in the domestic game.
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, meanwhile, wants the sport's governing bodies to introduce clear guidelines to stop matches in order to combat racist abuse.
"We need a rule, I think. A rule for the Premier League, but for all the championships across football. A rule that can permit us to stop the match," Sarri said.
