Will Jose Mourinho Quit Manchester United Because Of Pep Guardiola?



When Pep Guardiola decided to leave Barcelona in 2012 and take a gap year in football, a man was supposed to be the reason behind that. The arrival of José Mourinho to Real Madrid interrupted the dominance of Barcelona, ​​but it was not necessarily the results on the pitch that affected Guardiola.
The Spanish would have grown tired of the Mourinho games. Four games in two weeks between the two teams culminated in Guardiola giving his frequently cited press conference where he described Mourinho as "the fucking boss" when he faced the media.
Guardiola had enough and would spend the next 12 months relaxing. Now that the two men are back in the same league, Guardiola in Manchester City and Mourinho in Manchester United, the story can be repeated. The pressure may have increased and one of the men may give way. But this time it's Mourinho. And this time, it's because of the emotion of City and Guardiola.
After a hectic first season at Old Trafford, Mourinho ended the campaign positively. United had three trophies to its credit, even if it did not include the Premier League or FA Cup, and the club was back in the Champions League. Then, United began the new season, hooked on the City sneakers in the standings. But then came the draw at Liverpool and the defeats at Huddersfield and Chelsea, and United suddenly found himself eight points behind City.
Speaking on French television last month, Mourinho said he did not plan to finish his career there. "The only thing I can say is that I'm still a coach with worries, ambitions and desire to do new things ... And I do not think ... no, I'm sure it will not end my career here," he said.
After losing to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Mourinho put up a strong front, insisting that his team still had plenty of time to beat City. "We are second, not fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth," he said. "We have 18 teams in a more difficult position than us, eight points are eight points." But there are concerns at Old Trafford, according to The Sun, that Mourinho will give in, that he thinks his team is not strong enough to compete with the city of Guardiola, and that he will go to Paris. Mourinho already winked and winked at the French capital and the Qatari owners of PSG.
Paris would have reacted quickly to Mourinho's words. According to the Manchester Evening News, PSG contacted coach Jorge Mendes about the future of Mourinho. Five years after Mourinho seemed to expel Guardiola from Spain, could the opposite happen in the English Premier League?

Mourinho then spoke effusively about the French capital and the project at PSG. "The other day," he said, "my son who lives in London went to Paris and not Manchester to see the game." When asked why his son chose this option, United manager added: "Because in Paris something special: magic, quality, youth, is fantastic."

Cost of Contact in Sports Is Estimated at Over 600,000 Injuries a Year

It seems obvious that there will be more, and more serious, injuries among high school and college athletes in football or soccer or lacrosse than, say, in running or in tennis. But how much more and at what economic cost? The Yale researchers discovered that these numbers were difficult to obtain, but using the best available data, they calculated that if contact sports could be practiced without contact, such as flag football, for example, there would be 49,600 fewer injuries among men. university athletes per year and 601,900 less among male high school athletes. The savings, which include estimates of medical costs and lost time, could reach $ 1.5 billion a year for colleges and $ 19.2 billion a year for high schools. And that only takes into account the immediate consequences of an injury, according to an article by the researchers, and not the long-term effects of concussions or repeated bursts of the brain in collisions. Or the repercussions of ligament tears, which ...

Eden Hazard takes himself and Chelsea to another level with dazzling display

It was about two minutes after the final whistle, while Antonio Conte and his victorious players were still massing to acknowledge their fans’ delirious celebrations up in the gods, when the television cameras focused in upon their man. Diego Costa was sitting among the  Atlético Madrid  dignitaries, initially wearing the same haggard, disbelieving look as those immediately around him, before sinking his head into his hands. It was an image to sum up the locals’ dismal night but, deep inside, even the departed striker must have admired everything his former team‑mates had done here. Conte had always seen this contest as a means of gauging Chelsea’s real capabilities back in the elite, concerned as he was that even a year-long absence might have blunted their pedigree. In inflicting Atletico’s first home defeat to English opposition – and their first reverse in their new arena – the Premier League side have laid down a marker. The last time they travelled here,  in ...
