Weidenfeller relishes cup final clash

Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO will surely end the year as one of its best games and biggest success stories, and developer Spike Chunsoft and publisher Bandai Namco are also continuing to keep up support for the game in hopes of maintaining its player base. Another update has now gone live for the game, and it brings a feature requested by many since the game came out.

Specifically, players will now be allowed to dive into splitscreen multiplayer battles in any stage. Previously, offline multiplayer fights could only be fought in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and requests for that to change have been loud since the game launched, so this change should make fans happy. On top of that, the update also brings a host of balancing tweaks and gameplay adjustments, targe…

Antonio Conte wants to earn the right to sign a new contract with Tottenham, but has hinted the club must match his ambitions to keep him for the long term.

Conte s current deal with Spurs expires at the end of the season, and although the club have an option for a one-year extension, the Italian has been linked with an exit on several occasions.

A return to Juventus has been touted as a possibility for Conte at various stages this campaign, but the Tottenham boss wants to show he deserves an extended stay in north London – so long as Spurs can help him achieve his own aims.

My contract expires on June 30. Until that moment, the club has to make the best evaluation, Conte said at a pre-match news conference ahead of Tottenham s meeting with Leeds United on Sat…

Claudio Ranieri will be praying his Inter Milan team rediscover their winning touch away to Marseille in the Champions League round of 16.

Ranieri guided Inter to an eight-match winning streak during December and January, but their form has since deserted them and they have now lost five of their past six matches in all competitions.

The slump has left Inter seventh in Serie A, 14 points back from league leaders AC Milan and six points outside the Champions League qualification places.

With the prospect of Inter failing to secure a spot in next season s tournament increasingly likely, it will be up to Ranieri and his players to prolong this campaign for as long as possible.

It remains to be seen if they will be able to do so, with the surviving members o…

Inter have completed the signing of Porto midfielder Fredy Guarin, the Portuguese club have announced on their website.

The Colombia international joins the Serie A side on a permanent basis after impressing on loan for the Nerazzurri, despite the fact that a calf problem restricted him to just six appearances for the club.

According to Porto, Inter have splashed out 11 million euros to secure the services of Guarin, who was on the fringes of the action at the Estadio do Dragao during the first half of the season.

The completion of the deal is now dependent upon the player signing a contract with Inter, a Porto statement read.

Guarin s agent revealed on Wednesday that his client had been on Inter s wish list for two years .

Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Mario Gotze has acknowledged he will never again be the player he was when he first rose to prominence.

The 24-year-old earned himself a transfer to Bayern Munich in 2013 following a number of impressive seasons at Dortmund, but returned to Signal Iduna Park during the close season after an underwhelming spell with the Bundesliga champions.

However, he has yet to recapture the form that saw him catch the eye in the early stages of his career.

That said, Gotze feels people should realise that he has become a different player.

Should I get back to playing like the 18-year-old Mario Gotze again?, Gotze asked Bild.

I have played almost 60 games for Germany since, have enjoyed six years of success at Bayern …

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar acknowledged he is not a perfect role model nor a superhero .

The Brazil international has spent almost two years with Paris Saint-Germain, but rumours of unhappiness, rocky relationships with team-mates and a lack of commitment have rarely been far away.

More recently, Neymar failed to report back for pre-season training earlier this month amid speculation he wants to return to Barcelona, while PSG sporting director Leonardo confirmed the forward was available for a transfer if the price is right.

Neymar further risked the wrath of PSG supporters on Saturday when highlighting Barca s remarkable 2016-17 Champions League turnaround against his current employers as one of his two favourite football memories, though he showed a mo…
