Lille vs BATE Borisov Preview

Lille forward Salomon Kalou believes there is no substitute for hard work as he prepares to line-up against BATE Borisov in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Kalou was part of the Chelsea squad which won the tournament last season but joined Lille over the summer when he was not offered a new deal at Stamford Bridge.

The Ivory Coast international is now looking forward to another European campaign and is believes it is difficult to explain the facets required to win the tournament.

"A recipe to win the Champions League? It's complicated," he said.

"With Chelsea we decided to close the door (defensively) and build on the strength of our attackers. The goal is to get the first points - but just because we are not favorites (for the competition) does not mean we can't go far go far, working hard is the only way to win this tournament."

A victory on Wednesday could be seen as essential for Rudi Garcia's side with tougher fixtures against Valencia and Bayern Munich to come.

Kalou is therefore targeting a winning start against the perennial Belarusian Premier League champions at the Grand Stade Lille Metropole, although he is not underestimating the opposition.

He said: "Tomorrow [Wednesday] we will do everything to grab the three points. It is important to start the competition. Being the favorites does not mean anything.

"The Champions League is a competition in which all teams are equal. No fixture is ever easy."

Borisov have won their domestic title for the last six years and currently occupy top spot again with 20 matches already played.

They took two points during the group stages of last season's Champions League, including a memorable 1-1 draw at home to Italian giants AC Milan.

Viktor Goncharenko's side have already beaten Vardar of Macedonia, Hungarian outfit Debrecen and Israel's Ironi Kiryat Shmona just to qualify for the group stages this year.

Liverpool Manager Brendan Rodgers Asked FA to Stop Raheem Sterling’s Promotion to England’s Under-21 Team

Raheem Sterling is a rising star in Liverpool, having recorded impressive showings in his first two matches with the club as a starter. While several observers duly recognize his inspiring efforts, manager Brendan Rodgers is wary on the winger’s rapid rise to fame.

Now, the manager has asked the FA to stop their plan to promote Sterling to England’s Under-21 team. The former Queens Park Rangers trainee gained recognition for his brave presence while playign against tough oponnent sides Manchester City and Arsenal, replacing the starting position of £20 million signing Stewart Downing.  Rodgers is seeking to tone down the winger’s exposure in light of his sudden popularity by suggesting that the player should stay with the Under-19 team first.

Rodgers noted that postponing Sterling’s Under-21 promotion would benefit the player greatly. While he is aware that the promotion provides a great boost to the winger’s record, he finds it best for him to continue with the Under-19 team to prevent carrying the burden of too much expectation from people. He wants the player to maintain his great training form without being distracted with too much pressure

The manager said that the decision to keep Sterling out of the Under-21 team is rooted on meeting player’s “individual needs”. He wants to preserve the “quality, courage and attitude” of the winger in playing intact, which is why he chose to keep him away from anything that might bring more pressure.

With a vast experience in training youth teams of Chelsea and Reading, Rodgers has effectively built his knowledge on managing young players. The manager is aware that Sterling, like most young players with great talent, can rise up hastily. Saying that young players need careful handling, he is conscious that the winger might not become fully fit in the future anymore if he gets early exposure to high expectations.

Bolt is fit, says Jamaica doctor

Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake are both “fit and raring to go” at the Olympics, says Jamaica track team doctor Winston Dawes.

He has shrugged off suggestions Bolt will miss the Games with injury and promised “something fantastic” from the sprint pair.

Reigning 100m and 200m champion Bolt is understood to have been suffering with niggling leg and back problems.

But Dawes said: “Both of them are at the top of their game.”

He told BBC Sport’s Leon Mann: “If the conditions are ideal, then we are going to see something fantastic. We may see records go.”

Bolt holds the 100m record of 9.58secs and 200m world best of 19.19 but Blake beat him at the Jamaican trials in both distances less than four weeks ago.

Bolt, who suffers from

scoliosis,
a condition in which the spine is curved from side to side, will be in full health when the 100m preliminaries commence on 4 August.

“He’s back fully,” said the doctor. “He has been training very, very hard and his performance is on track. We expect he’ll be fully fit by the time the Olympics come around.

“He had some slight cramps [in his legs]. He had had an accident before, so that might have shaken him up a little.”

Bolt and Blake will be up against compatriot and former world record holder Asafa Powell along with American pair Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin in the showpiece 100m event.

But Dawes is confident that friends and training partners Bolt and Blake will produce something special.

“They are 100% fit and 100% raring to go. They are mentally fit and they are going to be going all out.”
