The Global Times described Ozil's comments as "false" and claimed he had "disappointed" football authorities.

It’s the battle of the winless sides on Wednesday, as Barnsley head to Middlesbrough. These two sides have found themselves in the bottom three following dreadful runs of form, but will either of these two boost their fortunes with a result this week?
Both Marcos Alonso and Emerson have failed to cement themselves as a starter at left-back, meanwhile Ross Barkley could also be on the way out. Reports suggest Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell could be targeted by Chelsea boss Frank Lampard. Though arguably, with the Foxes cementing themselves in second in the league, a move to Chelsea could actually be a step down for Chilwell, who may be keen to see out the remainder of his season at the King Power stadium before seeing what options present themselves in the summer.
At the other end, the champions barely mustered a shot in the first half, their best effort coming when Katie McCabe forced Ann-Katrin Berger into a save with her feet. After the break they showed signs of improvement, and finally pulled one back when Mead's header was spilled over the line by Berger.
In addition to this, Paderborn have lost just one of their last four games. They have accumulated seven points in this time. This is a better points total than their opponents Leverkusen, who have accumulated just six points in the last four games.

FA Cup final replay29 April 197028. There were only three TV channels in the country at that point - BBC Two being the other - so City had to settle for a highlights show late that evening, instead of being the main event.

Guardiola has built a superb Manchester City side, a purists' delight, as Arteta will know only too well after sharing two Premier League title triumphs, including a historic 100-point haul two years ago, and more history when they claimed a domestic treble by adding the League Cup and FA Cup last season. And City can still make it their most glorious campaign by finally claiming the Champions League - but on the evidence of this season you would not trust them to pull it off.
One main reason for taking the over 2.5 goals bet in this one is the fact that the guests have conceded the most goals in the league so far this term, a total of 56 goals conceded by them and they have played here at Heracles already once this season in the Cup competition and despite being early 2-0 down they had the power to come back in the game making it 2-2 but ended up losing the game with 4-3 in the end, so a game with 7 goals being scored total.

He was quickly joined by director of football Marcel Brands, who described the Italian as "the perfect appointment. There is genuine anticipation at Goodison Park at such a coup. It will be Monday when the serious work starts at Everton's Finch Farm training headquarters.

That, I think, has to do with football where you get your lads to play and then you review it, then you redo things because you are always looking for faults and correcting them. What I'm trying to do is enjoy every second of life, but right now that's impossible because I'm not with all my family and life is very different and I'm worried for others. But Kim and I have a lot of life still to do, before the lockdown I even went metal detecting with her.

If it was easy to win here, a lot more teams would do it. I’m over the moon about the result, but we have to talk about the performance. We should have scored more goals – that’s the truth. We have to be honest with ourselves. We could have scored more and we have to – especially in this stadium against a team like Tottenham.

Paper Round's view: There's no denying that Sancho is a massive talent, but he needs to be 100% committed to reaching his potential if he wants to be world class. Dortmund are only being fair by disciplining him for breaking club rules, but they will be hugely disappointed in the England international.
It took eight or nine days. People ask why I'm not in Belgium. It's because I'm self-isolating in England. I live here so I'm here with my kids and wife.

Lafnitz will host Austria Wien II for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this season. However, the visitors have great results in the last matches. Austria Wien II are undefeated in their last 5 matches. They have three consecutive victories. On the other hand Lafnitz have fallen into a poor show. They have three consecutive losses. However, they played against more strong rivals. In last game Lafnitz lost 3-1 against Ried. In any case, the hosts have the motivation to break the poor series. I think, they will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch.

Meanwhile, Owls boss Garry Monk hasn't beaten Hull in any of his last three league matches (D1 L2). We expect both of those waits to continue, with a 2-2 draw our pick here following high scoring form from both, while their last three meetings at this ground have finished level.

That is main reason for this bet, but also, I can said that and their rival is mostly on that level, so yea, goals are really the best option for this match. I will bet on goals.
