Di Francesco: 'Nothing has happened, we have to seriously think why!'

The Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco said the team disappointed him in the match by soccer tips against Milan (0:2). The team played for a second time in a very weak second half, as it was against Shakhtar (Donetsk) in the Champions League. The defeat last night dropped the team on the 5th place in the Serie A.

'We played well before the break and Milan did not endanger us. It is true, however, that we were not determined enough at the ending. After the first goal we totally lost. We have to seriously consider why it does. Obviously, this is a red light and we have to make the appropriate conclusions. I was expecting a very different second half!', said Francesco.

'I bet on Patrik Schick as a champion because he has the qualities to hinder Milan`s defenders. Sometimes he went too far and did not show the creativity I wanted to see. Edin Dzeko needed a break, but it was not the problem but our overall performance. We did not react after the goal and the responsibility was mine, continued the wolf coach. Are I under pressure after two consecutive losses? Every coach is under pressure!', added Francesco.

Nadal also plans to play pairs in Indian Wells

World number 2 and 16 Grand Slam titles Rafael Nadal plans to take part in the Masters Series tournament pair in March Indian Wells. This is the first event of the highest category of ATP and will be held between 8th and 18th of the third month of the year.

Matador plans to take part in the tandem race as a compatriot Pablo Karenio-Busha.

Nadal has been traumatized since October last year by playing only one match in the ATF Finals and dropping out of Brisbane.

It is in the Mexican city that the great Spa niard will return to the court after the Australian Open.

Kuban will forgive $ 600, 000 for his big mouth

The National Basketball Association fined Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Kuban with $ 600, 000 because of his words during an interview that his team would be better off losing their matches by the end of the season. In an interview a few days ago, Kuban said he told some of the players in the team that `the best option for us is now to lose our matches, ` so he wanted to demonstrate how honest he is to his competitors. The League, especially since being led by new commissioner Adam Silver, tries in any way to cause the teams not to lose their matches from footballcapper on purpose. For this reason, Silver introduced a change in the lottery system, defining the order in which the teams choose the draft. The imposed fine of $ 600, 000 is the largest that Kuban has ever received. In 2002 Dallas`s eccentric owner was fined $ 500, 000 for critical comments to former Judge Director Ed Rush. Until now, Kuban has been fined by the League with a total of over $ 2 million, with almost the whole amount due to comments by judges. Dallas has a record of 18 wins and 40 losses since the start of the season and is one of seven teams in the league with 18 or 19 victories since the start of the season.

The union denied planning a boycott despite the stalemate on the market

The Association of Professional Baseball Players (MLBPA) rejected the possibility of a boycott of spring training due to stagnation in the MLB winter market. The union unveiled their official position through a laconic message on social networks. `The latest press releases erroneously claim that the association of players threatens to` boycott `the spring drills, which is not true, and neither the trade union has recommended such a course of action, ` the MLBPA wrote.




The turmoil was created on Friday by topparent Brody van Wagenen. A partner in the Creative Arts Management Agency (CAA) announced in a statement that the lack of enough activity on the part of the clubs from soccer livescore is about to force free agents and their counterparts to take radical measures:

`Players are disappointed. , even if long-term players are angry just as much as jo bseekers, their voices are getting stronger and they are united in a way that has not been seen since 1994. (. . . )It`s a battle that can starthas one, maybe two, and probably also 1200 followers, and may be a boycott of the spring training if the attitude does not change. `




The problem is that dozens of professional baseball players are still unemployed ten days before the start of pre-season training in Florida and Arizona. Among them are many star players such as Ud Darvis, Jake Arietta, JD Martinez, Erik Hosmer, Mike Mustakas, Lance Lynn, Alex Cobb, who were thought to have long since found clubs. But you would not.

There was no strike in baseball in 1994-1995 when, due to the owners` threat of setting a wage ceiling, players stopped playing in August. The then commissioner, Bud Selig, is forced to cancel the World Series, and the dispute was resolved only in April `Since then, MLB has been enjoying labor peace for near ly 23 years.
