Enrique's Arsenal -warning
PSG boss Luis Enrique has insisted that he is not worried about the threat of Arsenal by Set pieces. Enrique will bring his side to the Emirates for the first stage of the Champions League semi-final next week, but has warned the Gunners that he is not worried about their threat.
“We will prepare ourselves in the same way as we did against Liverpool. They are a team that has at least as much potential as Arsenal, if not anymore. Aston Villa also had a great potential in this area, just like most Ligue 1 teams,” he said.
“We will not prepare our team based on this aspect of the game in particular, but it is clear that we have to be competitive everywhere. I think we have scored goals and I consider our level to be very good.”
Promotion -party marriage
Burnley's promotion party on Easter Monday was marred by unsavory scenes after a pitch Invasia. The Clarets defeated Sheffield United to confirm a top two finish in the championship.
But Blades -midfielder Hamza Choudhury became involved in a fight with a four -way Burnley supporter. Choudhury took an exception to the words or actions of one of them and had to be towed away from the incident, in which boss Chris beat Wilder.
He smoked: “We used to be told that we would get stewards around us, but I think they went on the missing list. Especially on the missing list. In the end it was pretty scary when people come and do bits and pieces to you.”
Postcoglou Gives Boodse Message
Ange Postecoglou has shortly insisted that he is not a message to unfortunate Tottenham fans. Postecoglou saw his side slipping to a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Monday evening, so that they were brought to the 16th, which would be their worst finish for 48 years.
“I don't have to say anything to the fans. The fans are disappointed and angry as we are. They are too many losses I know.
“From our perspective, it is something that we need to accept the responsibility that we fail to fall for the standards that we should have. The downside is that the frustrating bit is that it is not because of the way we play because our football was very similar to the Frankfurt game that was another game we should have won.”
