Rooney ended his career on the national team of England

The Everton striker Wayne Rooney put a formal end to his career on the national team of England.
So far he has managed to score 53 goals in 119 appearances for `the three lions` but in the end took the difficult decision not to play for his country.
The decision of the footballer came to some strange circumstances.
The coach Gareth Southgate included him in his bills for the upcoming global qualifications, and the attacker has declined tactfully his invitation.
`It was just great that Gareth Southgate called me and told me that he wants me at the team for the upcoming qualifiers. I appreciate this thing, but I told him that I made a decision to put an end to my career at the national team. What is more, it is quite well thought out.`, Rooney announced.
`It was a very difficult decision. I discussed it with the people closest to me - my family as well as the manager of Everton. Wearing the t-shirt of the national team was always something very special to me, but I believe that now it is the right time to say goodbye to the representative team!`, commented the footballer.

Nolito thanked Pep for his return to Spain

`I am happy and I hope that both I and Sevilla will make a strong season. I am glad that I will be close to my family after 15 years away from them and after I got a chance to go through at a large club by ronaldo news I wasn`t thinking much. I just needed a change. I hope that I will repay the trust and I will make the people hope. I hope once again to be together with Jesus Navas here.`, he added.

Zidane does not guarantee that the superstars will stay at the team

The coach of Real Madrid surprisingly does not guarantee that the superstars of the team will remain at the team, which will undoubtedly increase speculation about the attraction of Kylian Mbappe.
The eventual coming of the French youngster would mean that someone from Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema will lose his place and now the boss never gave guarantees for the remaining of the big names.
`I hope that they will be with us for the new season and all who are with us now. Until August 31, however, anything can happen.`, said Zidane after the loss of Manchester City with 1:4.
He did not talk about Mbappe much: ` I am a coach, so I have to ask someone else if he is worth so much or not. So far nothing has happened and that is the team we have.`, pointed out the Frenchman, who of course was not happy with the loss by the Citizens.
`There is no way to be happy. We admitted a bad result, although we played not so bad. The preparation continues so that something like this could happen. The rival was better in the important moments.`

Jose Mourinho let the referee evict Valencia

The Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho admitted he intentionally left Luis Antonio Valencia to be expelled during the control match adviced by 11livescores with Real Salt Lake tonight.
The British won with 2:1, but the defender was removed for a rude entry back against Sebastian Saucedo, who then left the stadium on crutches.
Alan Chapman went over to Mourinho and told him to replace Valencia or otherwise, he will kick him out, but in typical Portuguese style, he chose to leave his team shorthanded.
`The referee asked me to replace him but I didn`t because I wasn`t happy with the yellow card and the aggression of the boy injured in the second half. That is what happened. Some other actions, however, were also dangerous.`, explained Jose, who previously had seen Saucedo remove Juan Mata from the game with hitting his ankle.
`I understand the enthusiasm and ambition to perform well against Manchester United, but it is still a pre-season match. In addition, it was a good experience to play with a man down.`, he added as he commented and Romelu Lukaku`s first goal for the team.
`For me, it is not important, but it is nice that he scored. Anyway, I told him that I was pleased with his game whether he scores or not. The goal was just a single detail but I liked his performance a lot because he is a top striker and a complete player.`, said Mourinho.

Juventus will try to get Darmian

After Inter Milan and Roma, Juventus is the next club analyzed by soccer livescores that will try to bring back Matteo Darmian to Serie A. The Italian national was unable to become a starter at Manchester United and the expectations are that he will be sold. Juve has a need for strengthening the right area of the defense after it became clear that Dani Alves will terminate his contract and will go to Manchester City.
`Sky Sport Italia` informs that Juve has contacted colleagues from United and they were interested in the status of Darmian. At Old Trafford, they tend to consider bids in the range of 20 million euros for the former player of Torino, who has a contract until 2019.
However, Juventus failed in negotiations with Arsenal for Wojciech Szczesny. The Bianconeri offered 4.5 million euros for the Polish footballer and that is nearly three times less than the Arsenal`s offer of 14.7 million euros. The Gooners prefer to retain Wojciech Szczesny instead of selling him for an amount which does not suit them. In the battle for the signature of the 28-year-old goalkeeper, however, there may also be Milan and Napoli.

Chelsea is not getting Insigne

Chelsea will have to pay more than 45 million pounds if it wants to draw the footballer of Napoli Lorenzo Insigne. The Blues have a serious interest in the Italian national in order to replace Eden Hazard in his transfer to Real Madrid.
Insigne`s agent, however, said that 45 million pounds will not suffice for the 26-year-old quickie.
`I want to start by saying that the offer, for which the press was talking about is insufficient. Too low. In addition, the priority of Insigne is to stay in Napoli, as he is considered to be a major player. Now both parties are happy.`, said the agent of Insigne.
The attacker has made a wonderful season and days ago he scored twice for the victory of Italy with 5:0 over Liechtenstein. Napoli will play in the Champions League qualifiers next season and won`t want to part with its main players.
