Postecoglou’s bravery makes football better, says Guardiola
MANCHESTER, United Kingdom: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola hailed Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou’s attacking approach as a blessing for the Premier League ahead of the first meeting between the pair in England on Sunday. Postecoglou’s stunning start to his reign took Spurs to the top of the table, but Tottenham have since suffered three consecutive defeats to slip to fifth. The Australian has drawn criticism for his refusal to adopt a more conservative style, even while Spurs are without a number of key players through injury and suspension. James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur and Richarlison will all be sidelined for the trip to the Etihad, while Sergio Romero completes a three-game ban. But Guardiola said Postecoglou’s history of success in his homeland, at Yokohama Marinos in Japan and at Celtic, where he won five trophies in two seasons, proves he should stick to his beliefs. “Every team plays to the desire of the manager,” Guardiola said at his pre-match press conference on Friday. “He’s done in the past in Japan and of course in Glasgow with Celtic and now. I think he makes football a better place, people like Ange.” Spurs have taken an early lead in all three of their recent defeats to Chelsea, Wolves and Aston Villa. And Guardiola believes only fine details have changed from a 10-game unbeaten run that gave Postecoglou the best start of any new manager to the Premier League. “The courage,” added Guardiola on what he admires of Postecoglou’s style. “So dynamic.

Homeless Hilal shock Esperance in CAF Champions League
JOHANNESBURG: Homeless Sudanese club Al Hilal shocked Tunisian giants Esperance 3-1 on Friday in a CAF Champions League second-round Group C match in Tanzania. After Yassine Meriah conceded an eighth-minute own goal, captain Mohamed Abdelrahman converted a 15th-minute penalty to give the Omdurman outfit a two-goal half-time lead. Gambian Kebba Sowe halved the deficit in the Indian Ocean port city of Dar es Salaam on 59 minutes before Senegalese Pape N’Diaye restored the two-goal advantage 12 minutes from time. Hilal cannot play at home because of the armed conflict in Sudan. After playing a qualifier in Morocco, Hilal moved to Tanzania for the group phase, and their first match there delivered an unexpected success over four-time African champions Esperance. Hilal are making a record 37th appearance in the premier African club competition and the closest they have come to lifting the trophy was finishing runners-up twice in the 1980s. Hilal lost to Petro Luanda in Angola last weekend while Esperance won a Tunisian derby against Etoile Sahel, the only club to win all five current and past CAF competitions. Etoile host Petro on Saturday near Tunis and should they win all four teams in the mini-league will have three points. A Group D match also produced an upset as Medeama snatched a 2-1 victory in Ghana over Algerian visitors Chabab Belouizdad, quarter-finalists in the past three editions. Mamudu Kamaradin scored in the fourth minute of added time in Kumasi for the home team, who came from behind to win. Abdelraouf Benguit netted from a 39th-minute penalty and Daniel Lomotey equalized in the final minute of the opening half. Success for Medeama came six days after a heavy loss at title-holders Al Ahly of Egypt while

Everton appeal against 10-point Premier League penalty
LIVERPOOL: Everton submitted their appeal on Friday against a 10-point deduction handed down by the Premier League for breaches of financial sustainability rules. The Toffees have reacted furiously after being hit with the toughest sporting sanction in Premier League history for breaching loss-making limits in the 2021/22 season. Clubs in the English top flight are allowed to lose a maximum £105 million ($130 million) over a three-year period after allowable deductions are removed. An independent commission found that the Merseyside club had lost £124.5 million for the revelant period. “Everton Football Club has today lodged with the chair of the Premier League’s judicial panel its appeal of the decision by a Premier League Commission to impose a 10-point deduction on the club,” Everton said in a statement “An appeal board will now be appointed to hear the case.” The sanction has plummeted Everton into the relegation zone and put their 70-year stay in the English top-flight at risk. “We were stunned, I think football was stunned, by the outcome of the 10 points so who knows what comes next?” Everton boss Sean Dyche said ahead of Saturday’s trip to Nottingham Forest. “The way it is sounding from the noise out there it is not just about us, there will be others looked at possibly over time.
