Gareth Bale s individual ability could be enough to earn Wales victory over England at Euro 2016, says Carlo Ancelotti, but the Italian warned against man-marking the forward.
The two nations meet in a long-anticipated clash in Lens on Thursday, with Wales two points better off in Group B following their 2-1 win over Slovakia and England s 1-1 draw with Russia.
Bale was on target in that success against Slovakia, and will line up against England as arguably the only world-class talent on the field.
There has been speculation that England could elect to man-mark Bale but Ancelotti, who signed the attacker for Real Madrid in 2013, does not believe such a tactic will prove fruitful.
How do England stop him? the Italian wrote in a column for The Telegraph.�…
Pep Guardiola does not feel under pressure to win the Champions League because the success of recent seasons is not normal for Manchester City.
City are set to face Tottenham in the quarter-finals after hammering Bundesliga side Schalke 10-2 on aggregate in a one-sided last-16 tie.
Expectations are high that Guardiola, who twice guided Barcelona to Europe s top prize, will lead the Premier League champions into the final four for the first time since taking charge in 2016.
But the City boss is at pains not to place overdue emphasis on the need to turn domestic dominance into continental glory.
We won a lot in the past and that s why people believe that is normal, but that is not normal, Guardiola said.
My standards are not thinking we are Manch…

Manchester City host Norwich on Saturday, under very different circumstances from their previous meeting in the English Premier League.
The last time the two sides played each other in the league was at Norwich s Carrow Road home in March 2005, when the visitors came from two goals down to win 3-2.
Robbie Fowler netted twice for Manchester City, including a 90th-minute winner, and his former Liverpool colleague Steve McManaman was a 33-year-old veteran among the away team s substitutes.
Managed by Kevin Keegan, Manchester City were playing their third season back in the top flight, after sinking as low as the old Division Three in 1998.
For promoted Norwich, it was a solitary Premier League season, ending in relegation when they finished second bottom.<…
Celtic have announced the signing of John Guidetti on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
The Scottish champions had attempted to sign the Swedish striker on Monday, but a failure to lodge paperwork with the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) by the 11pm transfer deadline appeared to have halted the move.
However, Celtic have now been granted permission to complete the deal.
Delighted to have finally joined @celticfc on loan Can t wait to get started and play in front those fans #TheBhoys, Guidetti tweeted.
The 22-year-old joined City at the age of 16 and has been shipped out on a number of temporary deals in recent times.

Anime Expo 2024 runs from July 4th to 7th, and publisher XSEED Games teased a secret title to be announced before the show. However, after a seemingly misscheduled (now-deleted) tweet discovered by Gematsu, it’s confirmed that the title in question is Falcom’s Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana.
It looks to have a demo at the expo alongside XSEED’s other titles, but this pretty much confirms a Western release. Currently available in Japan for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5, Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is a remaster of Falcom’s acclaimed 2010 action RPG for the PlayStation Portable.</pOnline Betting>

Romelu Lukaku is discussing a new contract with Everton,.
The forward has been linked with a move to a number of Europe’s big clubs including Chelsea, the club who sold him to the Merseyside outfit in 2013.
Since arriving at Goodison Park he has racked up one hundred and thirty-two appearances in all competitions, scoring sixty-five goals.
Four of those have come in his last two games while he also netted a brace for Belgium as they beat Cyprus in a World Cup qualifier earlier this month.
Prior to his move to the Toffees, Lukaku spent a season on loan at West Bromwich Albion where he scored seventeen times though he failed to net in fifteen appearances for Chelsea.
Everton currently sit second in the Premier League and can be backed at a p…
According to a recent report from Corriere dello Sport, Italian side Napoli are on the verge of completing the signing of Hirving Lozano from PSV Eindhoven. The Mexican sensation has been with the Dutch club since back in 2017, when he made the jump over from Pachuca. In that time he’s been able to establish himself as a really strong attacking presence, which is why he’s starting to attract the attention of other top European clubs.
A series of other teams are believed to be interested in addition to just Napoli, but the Italians are indeed the frontrunners. There have been several rounds of talks between the two parties, with the asking price currently being set at £35 million. Napoli are said to be more than willing to pay that, and if that’s the case, it’s only a m…
