Zidane: Ronaldo relaxed after court appearance

Zinedine Zidane believes Cristiano Ronaldo will be more relaxed now after his day at the court to answer to cases of tax fraud and can return to playing football. Ronaldo gave evidence for 90 minutes in front of judge Monica Gomez Ferrer in Madrid on Monday. Spain tax agency are suing Ronaldo for a €14.7 million tax fraud as they bid to prove to him they are not La Liga defenders and goalkeepers.

“If he had spoken there would have been stories going around too,” Zidane responded. “But the important thing is what he said to me. He has been enjoying his holidays. Now that [July] 31 has passed, he is more relaxed. He will be with us on [Aug.] 5.

“I have not spoken directly with him [since the hearing]. I don’t think these things affect him. He is happy now as it is past. It was good news for him to be able to give evidence, and now return to football. He wants to play football, be with us, and not talk any more about this.”

Ronaldo has issued a statement in which he strongly refuted the case brought by prosecutors at Spain’s tax agency who maintain that he has committed a €14.7 million tax fraud.

Pochettino: Morata scared of Kane

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says Chelsea new boy Alvaro Morata did not join Tottenham because he is scared of competing with Harry Kane. Tottenham have not signed any player this summer and for Pochettino, the biggest problem is finding top players who are willing to challenge for a spot in a team that won 12 of the final 13 games of last season.

“Morata talked about me in the media he said, ‘Mauricio called me’. That was from the beginning — two years ago or more,” Pochettino said.
“When we spoke he said to me, ‘Why do you want me if you have Harry Kane?’.
“You know? If I go to try to sign a striker, they will all say, ‘Uh, gaffer. You want me for what? To be on the bench? Because it’s Harry Kane, I can’t compete with Harry Kane’ or [at other positions] Hugo Lloris or Christian Eriksen.

“It’s so difficult to convince good players to come and then be on the bench. Then the problems start.”

Kane won the Premier League Golden boot last season, the second time in as many years, after scoring 29 goals.

Ronaldo: We must all declare and pay taxes according to our income

Cristiano Ronaldo says he has nothing to hide about his income and has never had an intention of evading taxes. Ronaldo said he has told his advisors to pay his taxes correctly in a statement released after the Real Madrid star spent 90 minutes answering to charges of a €14.7 million tax fraud in a Madrid court on Monday morning. Ronaldo is answering to a case of tax fraud as it seems whatever Lionel Messi does, Ronaldo must do.

Ronaldo said in the statement: “The Spanish tax service [Hacienda] knows the detail of all my income because we have given it to them. I have never hidden anything, nor did I ever had the intention of evading taxes.

“I always do my tax declaration in a voluntary manner, as I think that we must all declare and pay taxes according to our income. Those who know me know that this is what I ask from my advisors — that they keep everything up to date, and correctly paid, as I do not want any problems.”

“When I signed for Real Madrid, I did not create a special structure to manage my image rights, I just kept the wy they were managed when I was in England,” he said. “The lawyers who were recommended to me by Manchester United created it in 2004, long before I thought of coming to live in Spain. The structure was normal in England, accepted by the English tax authority who ratified it as legal.”

Ronaldo, on an extended break following the Confederations Cup earlier in the summer, did not appear for Madrid during their International Champions Cup.

Courtois hopes Alexis will miss Community Shield match

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois hopes Alexis Sanchez will miss the Community Shield clash between Arsenal and Chelsea on Sunday. Courtois says Alexis is an important player for Arsenal and he could be a game changer if he gets to play against the Blues. Arsenal fans now know the leader of those praying that Alexis will leave the Emirates stadium this summer.

‘Alexis is a guy with a lot of quality,’ the Belgium international told reporters. ‘If you see all the games from last season there is a lot of danger coming from him.

‘He has a very strong shot, he is quick. He has the technique. He is important for them but Arsenal have a lot of players with quality.
‘So they will miss him but I think they have a lot of players with that quality to replace him. I think they have bought a good new striker (Alexandre Lacazette).

‘I’d prefer if he (Sanchez) doesn’t play because he is a good player! But we cannot only look to him.
‘For example in the FA Cup Final (Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 in May) they missed some defenders and everybody thought they would be bad. But Per Mertesacker played a great game that day.
‘So you cannot look to the team as one player or another player. It will be a difficult game regardless but I hope for the same outcome as the friendly last week.’

The reigning Premier League champions will meet the FA Cup holders at Wembley with the season’s first piece of silverware up for grabs.

Gaza children take part in Irishtown friendly

Last Saturday morning FAI Development Officer Jonathan Tormey welcomed a group of kids from
The Al Hilal FC Academy in Gaza to Irishtown Stadium to kick-off a 10-day tour for the soccer mad
youngsters with a game against Iveagh Trust FC.

The trip has been mainly organised by Gaza Action Ireland but has gained a lot of support from football
clubs and communities across Ireland. The game on Saturday was attended by the Lord Mayor of Dublin
Michael MacDonncha, the Lord Layor of Ringsend Tony McDonald and Councillor Chris Andrews.

Councillor Chris Andrews was very grateful to both Iveagh Trust FC for playing both their parts in making
the game happen in such a short space of time and FAI development officer Jonathan Tormey for organising
the event.

The game itself was a great spectacle with the Gaza kids showing some fantastic skills, running out worthy winners
against a very welcoming and determined Iveagh Trust side.

The children from Gaza had been travelling for 48 hours prior to the game and unfortunately had their Head Coach
and captain refused travel permits at the airport in Israel but they got on with things and showed some fantastic talent.

The boys have a fully packed schedule which culminates in the boys being guests at the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division match between
Shamrock Rovers F.C.and Derry City Football Club on Friday, August 4th in Tallaght Stadium.

Potential Neymar replacement involved in training ground bust-up

Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmanne Dembele seems to have learnt something from the man he may replace at Barcelona, Neymar Jr. The French winger had to be held back by team-mates after a heated confrontation with keeper Roman Burki during Monday’s training session ahead of the new season.

Marc Barta had to physically restrain Dembele as the training session boiled over.

The training ground clash is reminiscent of Neymar’s row with Nelson Semedo ahead of his summer departure from the Nou Camp.

The 20-year-old joined Dortmund last summer from Rennes and has been touted as a possible transfer target for Barcelona with Neymar Jr. expected to depart the Nou Camp.

Neville: it is strange Chelsea let Matic go

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville says Nemanja Matic will prove a good buy for United while also expressing shock that Chelsea allowed the Serb join United. Amidst ‘Chelsea-reject f.c’ jibes from Chelsea fans, Neville says Matic is exactly the player Manchester United needs.

“Michael Carrick’s obviously got one more year but he can’t play every single week so they’ve got to have that player come in and do the same job.” Neville said

“I believe Nemanja Matic can do that.
“United need a holding midfield player. [Morgan] Schneiderlin was let go earlier this year, [Bastian] Schweinsteiger didn’t get a game.
“There needed to be a replacement in there and ultimately I think Matic will fit the bill.
“It’s a strange one for Chelsea to let him go because I thought he was good for them with Kante and I think they need to strengthen.
“So I’m not sure why he’s been let go so they must have replacements in hand.”

The Serbia international has completed a £40 million transfer to Old Trafford, reuniting with Jose Mourinho.

Ancelotti: English teams will make Champions League more difficult

Batern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti says Premier League teams will make the Champions League more competitive and difficult to win this season. The last Premier League team to win the Champions League was Chelsea in 2012 but the Italian gaffer believes the English clubs will do well this year. Perennial attendees, Arsenal are missing this year, meaning Bayern will be missing their regular and favorite customers.

‘The Champions League this year will be more competitive because there are some really important English teams in the competition,’ the Italian said.

‘United, City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool – I think, and I hope, for Jurgen [Klopp, Liverpool manager] to win qualification.
‘The Champions League will surely be more competitive and more difficult to win.’

Chelsea and Manchester United are both returning to Europe’s biggest stage, and they could be joined by Liverpool if they win their play-off later this month.
