      I started out at big club with 20million fans where I learned how to handle pressure… and watching Netflix also helped

      by

      GABRIEL SARA has been watching Losers to help make him become a winner at Norwich.The Brazilian midfielder spent the summer checking out the Netflix documentary series that charts how sporting figures or teams cope with failure.
      Norwich ace Gabriel Sara won the SkyBet Championship player of the month award
      Sara fires home for Norwich against Southampton at St Mary’s
      Freshly relegated from the Premier League last summer, the Canaries had an underwhelming season back in the Championship finishing 13th.
      But Norwich have got off to a decent start this campaign and host Stoke today among the early pacesetters, just three points behind leaders Preston.
      And Sara, 24, himself, has just been named SkyBet Championship player-of-the-month after a string of impressive performances.
      He told SunSport: “We travel a lot playing football and I always keep looking for something different. 
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      “In my holiday I was preparing my mind for the new season. I thought as well as working my body I must work my mind to be better and I found this really good series on Netflix. 
      “It’s important to see it because in this industry we never know how we can handle losing games and I saw a lot of different ways of handling this. I think the best way to handle it is not losing!”One episode of the series called The Jaws of Victory tells the legendary tale of how Torquay saved their EFL status on the last day of the season and existence in 1987 thanks to one of their players, John McNichol, being bitten by a police dog called Bryn.
      The dog thought McNichol was an attacker as he came advancing towards him and sank his teeth into his upper thigh. It caused the game to be delayed by four minutes — and deep into the resulting stoppage-time Torquay snatched a late 2-2 draw against Crewe.

      Sara added: “That Torquay story was so crazy and unbelievable. They would’ve been relegated had it not been for the dog biting their player.

      “What was incredible also was the great celebrations after that. Although they were fighting relegation and not champions, something good can happen.”
      Sara has learned about dealing with pressure from a young age — as he came through the ranks at Brazilian giants Sao Paulo, going on to make 113 appearances and scoring 17 goals.
      And the midfield ace remembers having to overcome a tough start to his professional career.
      He said: “They’re a huge club and have something like 20million supporters so you have to play well because if you don’t things can be really crazy. 
      “For the first ten games I played really badly. But our manager at the time Fernando Diniz, who is now the Brazil national team coach,  really helped me. He and my family gave me a lot of moral support but it was so tough.
      Brazil coach Fernando Diniz helped a young Gabriel Sara massively at Sao Paulo
      “When you play for a huge team, they expect great things from you, and you want to give it to them. To my mind it was good because after that I was more mature.
      “I’ve learnt to embrace the pressure and not think about it. 
      “When you’re a kid playing football, we just enjoy it, we don’t worry about whether the other team is going to score or anything like that.
      “You can’t keep playing like a kid of course, you improve and go through many steps and win games. 
      “The club pays the wages but also football is a show – there are a lot of supporters watching the game and sometimes they will be happy. 
      “I can see this through my dad, my dad watched every game and was sometimes depressed for the whole weekend! If we win, he will go and smoke a cigar.
      “This is the same with our supporters – they will be happy for the weekend then get ready for the next game. That’s why we have to embrace the pressure and at the same time give them a good show.”
      Sara heralds from a happy family background but hard life in Brazil and was motivated to change his parents’ lives by becoming a professional footballer.
      He said: “I grew up as two boys and one sister and we played football together. My father was an ex-footballer, he played for small teams in Brazil, and taught us how to play football. 
      “It was a good childhood. We weren’t rich but not poor. My parents worked hard so we could always have food and a roof over our heads, and I think that was an important thing. 
      That Torquay story was so crazy and unbelievable. They would’ve been relegated had it not been for the dog biting their player. GABRIEL SARA
      “My mother works at a hospital and my dad used to work as a security guard, so he slept all day to work all night and that time was hard.
      “Since I started playing football, I left my house aged 13 and I had to change my parents’ life. Brazil is a great country, but everyone knows how hard it can be there. 
      “The beginning was tough and you must make some choices. Mine was to go far away from my family to try for my dream and give my parents a better life.
      “Things are much better now thanks to football.”
      Sara loves life in England and is happily settled with his girlfriend Maria.
      He said: “We love the parks, we go out to the parks with my dogs. We can set them free, and they can run, it’s really nice. 
      “We love to go to Cromer and have been there lots and have some friends there as well. And we like to go to London. It’s like Sao Paulo so sometimes we can feel familiar there. 
      “We like to go to the restaurant ‘Sao Paulo’, it’s great! We love life here. My fiancée loves being here, my parents when they come, they love it here.
      “The language was a little bit hard but even when we first came here the people are close to us and they know how it feels being from a faraway place.”
      Norwich’s start under David Wagner this season has been encouraging but Sara is the first to know nothing is achieved after only one month.

      He said: “The hunger and desire is there and we must keep that. We cannot rest. We’ve had a great month and it’s been a good four games but must keep going.

      She told the cameras:  “I think Tyson is enjoying that little bit of family time.
      “That was half the reason that he didn’t want to box again, he didn’t want to keep leaving us. Just make the most of it and make these moments count.”
      The high-end accommodation sits on a three acres land in the idyllic village of Pontyclun, near the South Wales coast.
      An with less than an hour drive away to the world renowned Brecon Beacons National Park.

      As listed on Airbnb, the house has a total of 6 bedrooms and a kitchen with a dining room big enough to host 18 people.
      The outdoor vitality pool has air and water jet features – with a temperature that always remains at 38 degrees regardless of the cold weather.
      Forest View Retreat owner David Edwards told WalesOnline: “No one has put a vitality pool in self-catering [accommodation] in south Wales.
      “The inspiration [for the design and ethos] is about doing things which no else is doing. That’s what I do. I build what people think I won’t do, but I actually do it.”
      The family is also seen walking around the large wooden cabana with breathtaking panoramic views of the Welsh mountains.
      The house has a rustic interior with a Mediterranean touch inspired by Mallorca – where homeowner David Edwards spent his holidays.
      The property gets over hundreds of enquiries from families looking for a weekend stay like the Tyson’s
      The house is on the renting site for an eye-watering sum of £600 per night.
      It comes as the boxer wanted to cancel his new Netflix series half way through filming.
      Tyson Fury found managing the cameras and his kids a challenge, his wife said.
      Previously, on This Morning, the Gypsy King also revealed the only thing that was out of bounds while filming his new family reality show.
      Chatting to hosts Josie Gibson and Steve Jones via video link from their £1.7m Morecambe mansion, they were asked if they held anything back on the show.
      Paris replied: “At the start of the show we said ‘just come in and take the good, the bad and the ugly’.
      “I think it comes out better because you’ve got the highs and the lows, the good and the bad. We’re kind of open book people.”

      But Tyson cut in: “Well it wasn’t all access – I wanted them to film me in the shower, but they didn’t.”

      But, eight months on from the traumatic ordeal, she has now confirmed she will be making a remarkable comeback at the Dutch Grand Prix at the end of August.
      Taking to Twitter, Gow shared the incredible news with fans.
      She wrote: “I’m delighted (and a little nervous) to say that I will be returning to the F1 circuit for the Dutch GP.
      “It’s been almost eight months since my stroke and I’m still not able to do all the things I could before, but @IMG, @bbc5live and @F1 are going to help me get back into the pit lane to see how I go.

      “My lovely therapists are supporting me and continue to remind me ‘I’m a work in progress and not the finished article’. So, please bear with me, mind the gaps and wish me luck.”
      In May, Gow appeared alongside her husband, Jamie Coley, in a film on BBC’s The One Show explaining her experience.
      In the short film, she began by recounting her career as an F1 reporter before saying: “But then my life changed dramatically.
      “At 45, I suffered a serious stroke. And I’ve spent the last few months learning to walk, and more significantly, to talk again.

      “Just after Christmas I got sick, it wasn’t Covid, but I had a terrible cough and then my husband Jamie found me collapsed in the bathroom.”
      Jamie then revealed the panic which set over him at the time.
      He said: “I was trying to call your name and get you to speak to me and I was just getting nothing back from you. It was the worst moment of my life.”
      Upon hearing his response, Gow could not hold back her emotions and broke down into tears.
      In her return announcement post, she reserved special praise for Sky Sports F1 for the support they provided Jamie with.
      She added: “So many people to thank but at this point, I’ll just say a special thank you to @skysportf1 who have been supportive of my husband and me – I can’t thank them and their generosity enough.

      “I can’t wait to be back on your radio. I’ve missed it so much. Speak to you on Thursday!”
      Gow’s daughter, Isabel, was described as a “superstar” by Jamie, with the six-year-old rushing to grab some pillows and put them under her mothers head before passing the phone to him.
      After being rushed to Frimley Park hospital and receiving “very prompt” treatment, Gow later posted a message on social media.
      She wrote: “Hi everyone, been quiet the last few weeks, this is because I suffered a serious stroke two weeks ago.

      “I’m desperate to make a full recovery and return to work but it might take some time.
      Gow is a fan favourite following appearances of Netflix’s Drive to Survive F1 series
      “Thank you to the medical teams at Frimley and St George’s and my family and friends who’ve got me through the last fortnight X.”
      Dr Thomas Pain, one of Gow’s consultants, appeared in the video to explain how her stroke was caused.
      He said: “The majority of strokes are caused by a blockage in a blood vessel which supplies the brain.
      “Your stroke was caused by a clot from the carotid artery, in the neck, a tear in the blood vessel due to coughing and a viral infection you had at the time.
      “That clot flew up the vessel, causing the stroke on the left side of the brain.”
      After being transferred to a specialist unit at St Georges’ in London, Gow had her clot successfully removed before any significant damage was caused.

      He shouts advice at the screen before mocking Usyk, saying: “See him there, he couldn’t knock the skin off a rice pudding.
      “I will smoke that little motherf***er’s boots. Five or six years ago, I relieved a Ukrainian of all of the the belts before in [Wladimir] Klitschko. F*** them.”
      Fury begins to call Joshua on as he screamed: “Go on AJ, good jab son! Left hook to the body, let’s go! Bang, bang, bang!
      “Let them rip, both hands.”

      But showing signs of frustration, Fury sighed: “Come on, get stuck in son! Swing some shots for God’s sake. This is shockingly s****.”
      Usyk beat Joshua on points twice in the space of 11 months.
      But Fury, 35, was left unimpressed, saying: “I’ll tell you what I’ll do, I’ll go over there and I’ll fight them both in the same night.
      “That’s how s*** they are, they are f***ing s***. Thought it was a s*** fight, honestly I thought it was a proper s**** fight.
