Hojlund has changed his approach to the gameThe Dane has netted 15 times this seasonHas been targeted for missing chancesWHAT HAPPENED?
As he approaches the end of his first season in English football, Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund has discussed how he has changed his approach to the game and why he can block out his critics amid what has been a turbulent season for the Red Devils.
AdvertisementWHAT HOJLUND SAID
Hojlund told France Football: "When I was little I scored a lot of goals. I always did. But it’s by working a lot that you become a killer, by repeating the drills: right foot, left foot, volleys, shoulder positioning. And then as you grow up, you also become much better off the field.
"Here in Manchester that’s what happened, my approach to the game became a lot more professional. I learned one thing you have to be very fresh on the match day. I know my level, I know that I can play very well. But if I recover badly, with the matches that we have every three days here then it can be complicated."
He added: "Manchester United is so big, the Premier League is so huge… people are obviously more focused on you than before. It was hard at the beginning. Now, I am much calmer, I no longer worry too much about what is said. I know that I am a good player and that if I get chances, I will score a lot of goals."

Hojlund will be looking to end his first season at United on a high, when the Red Devils take on their local rivals Manchester City in next weekend's FA Cup final.
Going into Sunday's final match of the Premier League, Hojlund has netted 15 times in 41 games, to mark a steady, if unspectacular, start to life at Old Trafford following his £72 million ($92m) move from Atalanta last summer. It is clear from these quotes, however, that Hojlund takes improving his game seriously and he can be hopeful of improving next season.
WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD?
Manchester United have endured one of their worst-ever Premier League seasons and while a win next weekend over their biggest rivals would always be welcome, the club face a summer of transition.
New head of football operations Sir Jim Ratcliffe faces a decision over manager Erik ten Hag, while there is likely to be major surgery to the playing squad, with plenty of deadwood set to be discarded if the club are to sign the kind of young, dynamic players that they have been linked with in recent weeks.
Mikel Arteta admitted that he has "all the sympathy in the world" for Mauricio Pochettino after Arsenal thrashed Chelsea 5-0.

Sargent in red-hot form for CanariesSuffering from new quad injuryRuled a doubt for massive Preston clashWHAT HAPPENED?
After opening the scoring in their 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday, the U.S. international left the pitch in the 60th minute. The Canaries conceded twice after his departure, in a gutting result. On Thursday, Norwich boss David Wagner revealed that Sargent's removal was not a tactical one, rather, he picked up an unexpected injury.

"Josh [Sargent] came off after 60 minutes with some quad tightness on Tuesday. He is a doubt, as he was not able to train today," Wagner told the official Norwich website.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Losing the 24-year-old would be a major blow for the Canaries ahead of this weekend's clash, with only Wrexham's Paul Mullin scoring more goals in the top four divisions of English football since the turn of the year. His form has led to calls for him to be included in the USMNT's squad for the Copa America this summer.

Norwich head into the game occupying the fourth and final Championship promotion play-off place. They currently hold a five-point lead over Coventry in sixth, but as the Sky Blues have a game in hand, victory over eighth-positioned Preston would provide a major boost to their hopes of returning to the Premier League.
South African prosecutors are reportedly set to reopen the inquest into the death of Peter Roebuck, the former Somerset captain turned journalist who died in 2011. Roebuck fell to his death from a hotel room in Cape Town, with local police saying he had committed suicide.Roebuck’s family have previously expressed concern that they were not invited to be present at a closed hearing in 2013. Roebuck, who was in South Africa covering Australia’s Test tour, had been confronted by police while staying at the Southern Sun Hotel over allegations of sexual assault.South Africa’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Western Province, has been reviewing the case for a number of years. In 2016, the original inquest “docket” on the incident, which was believed to have been lost, was discovered and passed on to the DPP.Now, the has reported that the case will be re-examined “in the interests of justice”, although no date has been set for the inquest.David Hood, an English barrister representing the Roebuck family, said in a statement to the newspaper: “From the outset, the family and supporters of the late Peter Roebuck have put their faith in the legal system of South Africa. It is important to all internationally recognised systems of justice that justice is not only done, but is seen to be done.”That could never have been with the death of Peter Roebuck, unless and until the circumstances of his death were examined at a legally convened hearing held in public with witnesses called and questioned under oath.”The inquest is expected to examine a number of questions around Roebuck’s death, including the nature of the injuries he sustained after falling from the sixth floor and how he was able to jump through a window while a police office was supposedly present in the room.

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Nov-2018Boult finds rhythm after long lay-off
“My role is to run in and pitch the ball up and swing it around and try to take wickets. We’re always aiming to get a couple at the top in that first Powerplay,” Boult said after the game. “When the hat-trick ball came around I was just trying to make him [Hafeez] play and get the ball on the wickets. It was nice for it to swing back a little bit and trap him in front, a pretty cool feeling.”
“I’ve had a pretty quiet winter, probably four months off, away from cricket. The summer pretty much starts here for me. I’ve been in the gym doing the things I need to do to make sure my body’s right. The rhythm felt good tonight.”
Boult to Fakhar Zaman, OUT, Boult angles a back-of-a-length ball into the pads of Zaman. He loses his shape, swings to the leg side, does not make contact with the bat. The ball homes in, grazes the pad, and disturbs the stumps. The plan to Fakhar was clear: cramp him for room. Boult has executed it to perfectionFakhar Zaman b Boult 1 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20.00Boult to Babar Azam, OUT, Boult and the wicketkeeper think they have their man! Umpires Raza and Wilson converge and refer it to the TV umpire. Boult nails a wide yorker, Azam hangs back, jabs his bat down. Did the ball bounce before carrying it to Taylor at first slip? Replays suggest that it did not bounce and flew to first slip. Outstanding chest-high grab from Taylor to go with his half-century. Ahoy, two in two for BoultBabar Azam c Taylor b Boult 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00Boult to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, Boult, you beauty! In his first match of the tour, new-dad Boult bags a hat-trick. Good length, swings back in just enough at 141ks, catches Hafeez in the crease, hits the front pad on the knee-roll. Pitching in line, impact in line, and hitting leg stump. Hafeez reviews in vain. Boult becomes the third New Zealander after Morrison and Bond to claim a hat-trick in ODIs. After Taylor seemed to publicly question the legality of his bowling action, Hafeez gets trapped for a first-ball duck. Rather subdued celebrations from Boult. He looks skywards and is embraced by his new-ball partner and friend Tim Southee. Coach Arthur is stunned in the Pakistan change room. Can Boult now do a Malinga and take four in four? (Spoiler alert: he didn’t)Mohammad Hafeez lbw b Boult 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Auburn star Johni Broome had to leave his team's Elite Eight matchup against Michigan State after suffering an ugly fall midway through the second half.
Broome appeared to hurt his elbow and ankle while attempting to block a shot by Spartans guard Frankie Fidler.
Video is below.
He was down on the court for a bit before walking off the floor gingerly to go back into the locker room.
When he left the game, Broom had 22 points, 12 rebounds two assists, one steal and a block. He had been Auburn's best player all game.
Broome was able to return to the game just a few minutes later.
During the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge hit his eighth home run of the season. Until he didn't.
Despite the ball appearing to leave the yard, umpires ruled it a foul ball. Upon official review, that call was upheld although some angles of the replay certainly made it appear to be a home run.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke to the media after Sunday's game––from which he was ejected––and was asked about the umpire's controversial decision to uphold the ruling of a foul ball.
"The audacity of the call standing is remarkable. It's a home run," said Boone, via Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
Boone did not mince words when it came to his true feelings about the review, making clear he thinks Judge should've had his eighth home run of the year.
Judge ended the day 1-for-4 at the plate. The Yankees won 4–0 to clinch a series victory and improve to 14-8 on the season. They'll play again Monday when they start a series on the road against the Cleveland Guardians.

da esport bet： O Santos vai contratar um goleiro na janela de transferências do meio do ano, que abre no dia 10 de julho. Nomes ainda estão sendo discutidos e os próximos seis jogos serão fundamentais para definir como o clube alvinegro vai agir no mercado.

A ideia da diretoria é dar confiança para Gabriel Brazão. Contratado no início desta temporada, o atleta entrou no decorrer do jogo contra o América-MG, na última rodada da Série B, quando o titular João Paulo rompeu o tendão de Aquiles do tornozelo esquerdo. Até a abertura do período de contratações, são sete jogos para que ele conquiste confiança na equipe.
Com isso, o nome de Marcelo Grohe, que voltou a ser pauta imediatamente após a lesão de João, perdeu força internamente. A direção santista fez um contato com o estafe do profissional, mas o desejo dele em ter um contrato até o fim de 2026 afastou inicialmente o interesse do Peixe, que não formalizou proposta e não pretende realizar neste primeiro momento.

Sem plena confiança em Diógenes, reserva imediato da meta santista atualmente, a ideia é contratar um goleiro para a suplência, caso Brazão se destaque. Ao contrário, o nome de Grohe pode retornar à pauta.
Hoje, o principal cotado para ser contratado é Hugo Souza, que pertence ao Flamengo e está emprestado ao Chaves, de Portugal, até o meio do ano. Neneca, como também é chamado, tem vínculo até dezembro do ano que vem, mas o interesse do Peixe é tê-lo, inicialmente, até o fim desta temporada.

Além dele, Jordi, do Novorizontino, e Pedro Rocha, da Ponte Preta, também estão no radar. O primeiro agrada até mais a direção do Santos, mas ainda está atrás de Hugo Souza na lista de preferências.
A preocupação é que os times do interior paulista dificultam uma possível liberação, já que ambos são adversários diretos na segunda divisão do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Plays of the day from the third T20I between West Indies and Pakistan, featuring the oddest ways for batsmen to get out
Alagappan Muthu01-Apr-2017The set upSamuel Badree may be a legspinner, but he does not bowl full tosses. So when he lobbed one up for the easiest slog sweep for four that Ahmed Shehzad would ever play, it seemed odd. It became clear the very next ball, though, that Badree was merely lulling his opponent into a false sense of security. He sensed Shehzad coming down the track, dragged his length back, gave it a good rip so that it spun right past the outside edge and crashed into middle stump.The welcome backMarlon Samuels had not bowled in international cricket since November 2015, when he was banned for a suspect action. Cleared in February this year, he was called in to deliver the 13th over. He began with a rank full toss , the kind of hit-me delivery that gully cricketers would be embarrassed about. So naturally it produced a wicket in international cricket as Kamran Akmal, on 48, walloped it straight to deep midwicket. The batsman was hoping it would be called no-ball for height, but considering he was crouching in his stance, it was ruled legal.The non-appeal that became a wicketThe batsman was several yards short of his ground. It seemed like Sarfraz Ahmed was going to pay for his greed – looking for a quick single – but West Indies did not look even the least bit excited. Jason Holder, the man who had broken the stumps at the bowler’s end, was already making his way to the top of his mark because he thought he had not collected the ball cleanly. But he had. Clearly. Comfortably. He had got rid of the Pakistan captain without realising it. Good thing Carlos Brathwaite wasn’t as dozy and put in the polite enquiry that brought the third umpire into play.The unintended archwayTwo days ago, West Indies were terribly under par in the field. “At least it wasn’t for lack of trying,” their supporters might say. Well, that excuse went out the window in the third T20I. A gentle little clip off the pads from Babar Azam was given free passage to the boundary because Holder, running to his right from midwicket, and Evin Lewis, racing to his left from square leg, forgot to do the most important things. Call – and then field the ball.
