Sunderland signed Brian Brobbey from Ajax at the start of the season, and the 23-year-old striker is proving quite an acquisition for the Black Cats. Thierry Henry understands attacking play as well as anyone, having scored 175 goals and contributed 76 assists in 258 Premier League games for Arsenal. Here he is, discussing Brobbey's quality with former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.

Michael Carrick has made an immediate and powerful impression on the Manchester United squad, with several players reportedly blown away by his training sessions and tactical demands, according to a trusted source on X. The former United midfielder, appointed as interim manager until the end of the season, has wasted no time implementing a new level of intensity and clarity that has quickly resonated inside the dressing room.

Very important. I think that, within the club, in terms of professionalism, he's changed many things. He's instilled a certain German character. On the other hand, in day-to-day life, although these are details that aren't very visible from the outside, it's very family-oriented,

The Ukrainian drone schools training operators for war are having to rewrite their lessons as fast as every other week to get students ready for an ever-changing battlefield. Within the drone battle, a critically important aspect of this war, tech and tactics are shifting rapidly. Three drone schools told Business Insider that it's imperative they keep their lessons up to date because it's life or death on the battlefield.

It was a painful lesson for me, so seeing as I should've predicted it wouldn't work, I made it more difficult for them, In the second half, when we changed system, I saw a different energy and balance to the team. We had equalised and got the match on track, but then we conceded another goal, and it all became more difficult.

AC Milan were defeated in a cagey affair against Lazio on Thursday evening, with Massimiliano Allegri losing the 'chess game' against Maurizio Sarri. Like many other games before this season, the Rossoneri lacked in a lot of spects in the first half of the game. Or rather, you could definitely say that the two teams cancelled each other out, as Lazio didn't exactly create much either.

"For me, Guardiola is unique," he told ESPN "There are extraordinarily good coaches, but he has something different. For me, he's the best of all of them."

Alavés' goal was a bit of a surprise, but the team handled the situation very well. We stuck to our game plan, I think we dominated, and in the end, we managed to win,

Oh yes, I can't have soup without pepper. I like herbs and flavours. I'm sure that has something to do with my African roots. At home, we had traditional Belgian cuisine, but also dishes from the Congo, my father's homeland, like Pili pili. But today I also enjoy Bavarian food - sausage salad, for example.

I had quite a good chance to score and then they were the better team, says Kindvall. But maybe if we had got the first goal, maybe we had a chance. We were very good when we didn't have the ball ourselves. We had good organisation in the defence. And Forest were very good without the ball as well. It was more difficult for us to play against a team who were more like our team. We played the English way.

Barcelona's clash with Chelsea in tomorrow's UEFA Champions League fixture is shaping up to be one of the most tactically complex matches for Hansi Flick. While the team enters the match with renewed confidence, a series of returning players has created several selection dilemmas across the pitch, forcing Flick to weigh up form, fitness and balance before naming his starting XI.
