      by

      ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI’S new team-mate Omar Richards can use his shock Bundesliga move as a springboard into the England squad — just like Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham.The little-known Reading star has moved to German champions  Bayern Munich on a free transfer as left-back David Alaba heads to LaLiga giants Real Madrid.

      And ex-Royals captain and Wales centre-back Ady Williams reckons Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate will now be keeping close tabs on the 23-year-old.
      Williams, 49, told SunSport: “He’s going to be playing with Lewandowski and Thomas Muller, absolutely sensational, world-class players.
      “And just to train with them, never mind the matches against Borussia Dortmund and Co, that will make him a better player and develop him for international football.
      “Omar has also got age on his side and Gareth Southgate and scouts from all over the Premier League will be keeping an eye on him for sure.

      “If he performs at Bayern Munich I’m sure Southgate will be including him in the England squad.
      “It will be hard, because 23 isn’t that young any more when you look at Jadon Sancho and Phil Foden and what they have done.
      “So Richards has to make an impact with Bayern pretty soon to get that international recognition.
      “But I think Bayern have been very clever to snap him up.

      “As a former Reading player, the only downside is that the club won’t get the money they would have got on the open market, which could have been £10-15million.
      “But if he plays there and is a success in Germany then those numbers will double pretty quickly.”
      Ahead of arriving at Allianz Arena on a four-year deal at the end of the month, the Madejski Stadium academy product admitted he was in dreamland.
      London-born Richards said: “My move to FC Bayern is a great  honour for me, a dream come true.
      “I’m proud to be wearing the shirt of one of the world’s biggest clubs. I hope I can help the team continue to be successful.
      “My thanks to the management at FC Bayern for their trust. Our  conversations were very convincing and I can’t wait to be on the pitch for Bayern.”
      Julian Nagelsmann’s new man is not the first star to quit Berkshire for a crack at the big time.
      He follows the likes of Premier League aces Gylfi Sigurdsson, Steve Sidwell and Michail Antonio.
       Williams added: “He is the  modern-day footballer — very athletic and has decent distribution.
      “But even if it doesn’t work out, the ruthless side of me reckons he will come back to England and into the Premier League as a better player and person for the experience.”

      Guardiola will make ‘Galactico’ Foden even better – and City star’s Mount battle will be key in Champions League final

      by

      WHEN Pep Guardiola arrived at Manchester City, we had all marvelled at his Barcelona team and knew about his extraordinary CV.But as footballers, we still wondered how special he really was.

      Pep Guardiola makes great players better – and will improve even Phil FodenCredit: PA
      I remember a conversation with Fabian Delph when I asked him what Guardiola was really like to work with.
      Ever since I’ve known Fabian, from his Leeds days, he was a box-to-box midfielder with attacking instincts.
      But Guardiola transformed him into a title-winning left-back in a Manchester City team that racked up 100 points in the 2017-18 season.
      Now, Fabian is an old friend and he had no need to butter up his boss to me  but he just said, ‘Mate, this bloke is absolute mustard’.
      He told me he genuinely learned something new every day — and this is a guy who had already been a professional footballer for a decade.
      Even with the best managers I’ve worked under, you are probably doing the same 20 to 25 training sessions several times a season but apparently, with Pep, every day’s a school day.
      This is a manager who makes great players even better. Some of that is Guardiola’s tactical ability and his attention to detail, some of it comes from his extraordinary strength-and- conditioning team.
      I look at the wa­y Raheem Sterling — who used to be considered a lightweight player that could go down too easily — has developed into such a strong physical specimen, as well as such an intelligent footballer.

      I’ve played against Guardiola’s City several times and been on the receiving end of some good hidings, including Watford’s 6-0 defeat in the FA Cup final two years ago.
      And City have a couple of those rare players who, even if you are playing against them, you just stand back and appreciate at times.
      In the team that is likely to face Chelsea in Porto for Saturday’s Champions League final, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden would be in that category.
      It’s like you’re playing checkers and they’re playing chess. It’s a different game.

      David Silva was similar and, while he is a different player from Foden, the England man has clearly learned so much from the Spaniard.
      Foden has a Galactico feel about him. He could go to Real Madrid and be the main man — not that City will ever want or need to sell him.
      And how good is it for English football that we have Foden and Chelsea’s Mason Mount lining up against each other as key creative footballers on Europe’s biggest stage? Mount is a wonderful player.
      I really hope this will be like a proper high-tempo Premier League match — but I reckon it will be more cagey.
      Every player, as well as managers Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel, will fully understand the importance of this match.
      They can try all they like to make preparations feel “normal” but when you are playing in the very biggest matches of your career,  everything feels different.

      The build-up is completely different — you are inundated with calls and messages from people you rarely hear from, many wanting tickets. You cannot escape from the build-up to a cup final — TV, radio, papers and online, it’s pointless trying.
      I’m a keen people-watcher. Basically, I’m nosey. And as captain, that is part of my role.
      And you cannot mistake the way people behave differently in the build-up to these  huge matches.
      You notice extroverts going into their shells and quiet players getting really animated and geeing up their team-mates up.
      Nerves change people’s behaviour.
      And when the first whistle blows, everything feels different, sounds different. It’s like all of your senses are heightened.
      If any player tries to tell you it’s just another game, they are kidding you — perhaps they are kidding themselves.

      There could be a 90,000 Wembley crowd but you just can’t hear them.
      I tend to interact with supporters, opponents, referees — but not in a cup final or play-off final or any other absolutely critical match. Your  determination to stay focused is so sharp.
      That’s why I think even Guardiola’s City will approach a Champions League final differently.
      Chelsea will want to keep it tight but City won’t be gung-ho either.
      Even brilliant, creative players often stick to safe passes in the early stages of a final. I was at Tuchel’s first match in charge of Chelsea, a 0-0 draw with Wolves — but you could already tell how he wanted them to play.

      The Stamford Bridge side followed that result with a long run of wins and clean sheets and have really impressed me.
      Even though they lost the FA Cup final 1-0 to Leicester and got away with a potentially crucial 2-1  defeat at Aston Villa last weekend, they look like a team who can compete for the title —  especially if they sign Erling Haaland or Harry Kane.
      Tuchel is a brilliant tactician too but it is Guardiola’s immense experience that means City have the edge, even though Chelsea have beaten them twice since the German took over.
      Guardiola hasn’t been to a Champions League final for ten years, since that wonderful Barca side defeated Manchester United 3-1 in a classic at Wembley.

      That was one of THE great team displays but even a purist like Guardiola won’t care if City win 1-0 with a scruffy goal on Saturday — finals are different like that.
      Since then, Guardiola has been accused of “over-thinking” things in Champions League knockout ties — but that is the mark of a genius, always having brainwaves.
      My old friend probably could not have imagined himself at left-back — but Pep imagined it and Fabian has the title-winner’s medal to prove that it worked.

      Man Utd’s David De Gea dilemma mirrors Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil issue as Spanish goalkeeper earns as much as £500,000 a WEEK

      by

      OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER thought he was spoilt for choice with goalkeepers.Instead, the Manchester United manager goes into the summer with a huge headache in this department.
      David De Gea’s £500,000-a-week wages will pose a problem for Manchester United trying to sell himCredit: Reuters
      Arsenal had a similar situation with Mesut Ozil’s contract at the EmiratesCredit: Getty
      United knew they had big calls to make but their problems appeared to be elsewhere.
      Instead, the club do not appear to have a truly top-class keeper. Or certainly not one they have faith in.
      The situation with David De Gea, 30, and 24-year-old Dean Henderson cannot continue as Solskjaer trusts neither.
      Tom Heaton is joining as No 3 but, potentially, United must look at signing another keeper.
      Either De Gea or Henderson will have to leave, whether on loan or permanently.
      With Spanish No 1 De Gea, United are in an Arsenal-Mesut Ozil situation.
      De Gea did not cover himself in glory in Wednesday’s Europa League final penalty shootout by failing to get near any of the 11 spot-kicks.
      It means he has failed to save ANY of the last 40 penalties faced for club and country since April 2016.

      He also missed his penalty, United’s 11th of the shootout, handing victory to Villarreal.
      But De Gea looked low in confidence throughout the game and could have done better for Gerard Moreno’s opening goal.
      De Gea is not stupid. He knows Solskjaer has major doubts over him as a player.
      And the same applies to Henderson, who has not seized the chance to be top dog.
      United will not want to sell Henderson but it depends on De Gea. He earns £375,000 a week basic and, with bonuses, can bank up to £500,000.
      Like Ozil at Arsenal, no club will want to sign him permanently on those wages.
      So United will see if they can find De Gea a club who will cover a large part of his salary.
      But if they cannot find an interested club, it could be Henderson who is loaned out.

      Heaton, 35, has left Aston Villa and will be back-up, with Sergio Romero set to leave.
      Yet Henderson’s situation is also a major issue for England boss Gareth Southgate.
      He named four keepers in a 33-man squad, with Henderson joined by Jordan Pickford, Sam Johnstone and Aaron Ramsdale.
      So if Pickford is injured, England have a problem.
      Marcus Rashford is also still battling shoulder and foot issues ahead of the Euros opener with Croatia on June 13.
      It leaves Southgate with plenty to ponder before a friendly against Austria on Wednesday.

      Jesse Lingard’s watch stolen from dressing room while playing for West Ham

      FOOTIE ace Jesse Lingard called in cops after his watch was stolen from West Ham’s dressing room during a game.The thief struck as the midfielder, 28, played in the Premier League defeat to Everton on May 9.

      Cops and loan club West Ham have no idea how a thief brazenly sneaked into the heavily-guarded dressing room during a game.
      Players and staff searched the room to no avail on May 9 before the star contacted police.
      Rooms at the London Stadium are only accessible to players and senior officials.
      They are monitored by CCTV and patrolled by security.
      ‘HE’S DEVASTATED’
      Midfielder Lingard, on loan from Manchester United, has a collection of high-end watches, some thought to be worth six figures. One is specially designed by Swiss maker Richard Mille.
      A source said: “Jesse was devastated, but nobody can believe it.
      “It’s completely unheard of for something to be stolen from inside the players’ dressing rooms during a game.

      “Security at the stadium is top class. There are staff guarding the tunnel and all those areas — as well as CCTV all over the place.
      “Of course everyone has searched high and low but it appears it has definitely been taken, and there was no option but to call in the police.
      “Everyone is gutted for him, he loved that watch and thought it would be safe.
      “It goes without saying Premier League footballers are well paid, and many of them have expensive items including clothing and ­jewellery.
      “But it would just never occur to anyone that it could be taken from there. It’s a real shock.”
      The raid is the latest in a spate of crimes targeting footballers’ prized possessions, but the first to take place in such a bold and shameless way.

      The Italian, 61, was not at home and it was reported his daughter Katia may have scared off the intruders.
      In March club goalkeeper Robin Olsen, 31, was targeted by a machete gang who took gems and a watch from his house near Altrincham.
      Coleen Rooney has spoken of her sleepless nights after ex-serviceman Robert McNamara was jailed for breaking into her family’s Cheshire home. Her husband, England ace Wayne, had been playing in his testimonial.
      Last week we told how pregnant Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock, engaged to Watford footballer Andre Gray, had her £40,000 ring stolen from their £4.5million Surrey mansion.

      In 2016 then-West Ham striker Andy Carroll was targeted for his £22,000 watch.
      The striker was driving home from the club’s training ground when he was confronted by a motorbike rider at traffic lights.
      Robber Jack O’Brien was later jailed for six years, with Carroll saying he believed he may have had a gun.
      It would just never occur to anyone that it could be taken from there. It’s a real shock.Source
      The footballer told jurors he was scared when the motorcycle rider pulled up beside him, said “nice watch” then demanded he gave it to him.
      Carroll did a U-turn, but was forced to drive on the wrong side of the road as he was pursued back to West Ham’s training ground.
      In a 999 call played in court he was heard telling responders: “There’s two motorbikes, one’s behind me pulling out a gun.”
      Two years ago moped thugs targeted former Arsenal players Mezut Ozil and Sead Kolašinac for their £200,000 watches in North London.

      Bosnian defender Kolašinac chased the knife-wielding attackers who were part of a gang that were later jailed for ten years. Last May armed raiders made off with watches worth £350,000 from the home of Lingard’s England teammate Dele Alli.
      Man City winger Riyad Mahrez had a £230,000 Richard Mille timepiece, a £40,000 Rolex Daytona and a £35,000 Rolex Day Date nicked from his Manchester penthouse.
      Liverpool stars Sadio Mane, Roberto Firminho and club legend Steve Gerrard have all been targeted when thieves knew they would be involved in major matches so would not be at home.
      Gerrard’s wife Alex was left terrified when thugs threatened to abduct their children if she did not co-operate.
      He was away leading his side in the Champions League. The Lingard raid, in the supposed sanctuary of a dressing room, is sure to shock the footballing world.
      A West Ham United spokesperson said: “The incident happened a month ago and the Club took all appropriate steps at the time.

      “While we will continue to assist with the matter, we are unable to comment further as this is now part of an ongoing police investigation.”
      The Met Police confirmed to The Sun: “Police are investigating a burglary at the London Stadium. It was reported that a watch was stolen from a changing room on the afternoon or evening of Sunday May 9.”
      A spokesman for Jesse added: “We can’t comment on an ongoing investigation.” More

      Kevin De Bruyne has been nursing THREE injuries in build-up to Man City’s Champions League final against Chelsea

      Kevin De Bruyne has been nursing THREE injuries since the FA Cup semi-finalCredit: AFP
      And that led to a tight hamstring and a minor issue with his calf in the weeks that followed.
      So City chose to adopt an ultra-cautious approach with De Bruyne to ensure he is in top shape for the showdown with his old club Chelsea in Porto on Saturday night.
      He believed he was ready to return at Brighton nine days ago.
      But City’s medical team, along with boss Pep Guardiola, did not want to take any unnecessary risks.
      That meant he went 19 days without playing a minute after starring in the Champions League last-four win over French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
      But any concerns about how he would react against Everton on  Sunday were blown away when he scored within 11 minutes.
      KDB told the medics he was very happy with how he came through the 90 minutes and felt like he was in a good rhythm.
      And that was a huge relief for Guardiola who is desperate to have his talisman in the team for their big night.

      Speaking after the 5-0 win against Everton that put the cherry on top of their title-winning season, centre-back John Stones admitted there will be nerves for the final – but the City squad are more than capable of dealing with them.
      The England defender said: “I’m sure everyone will be nervous but the lads wouldn’t be where they are without knowing how to control those things, big pressure, big games.
      “We’ve got the calibre of players for this occasion. It is a final and we’ve been in so many finals.
      “We’ve got the passion and desire to win it.
      “To finish the Premier League on a high like that is what we needed and to go into the next game, scoring so many goals and keeping a clean sheet, is perfect.”
      Liverpool boast the most-valuable squad in the Premier League

      He added: “It’s been an incredible season. From where we were in December, I think it shows the strength of the boys.
      “Everyone has pulled their weight and come together as a team.
      “We have got another game to go, we can make some more history but in these times – Covid times, everything different and difficult, games every three days – it shouldn’t be underestimated what we’ve all done this season as a club.”

      Andres Iniesta famously knocked Chelsea out of the 2009 Champions League semi-finals on away goalsCredit: AP:Associated Press
      But a proposal for away goals to count extra in the first 90 minutes of the second leg was parked.
      It was felt that stopping the advantage of away goals in extra-time would be too confusing.
      Instead, panel members will debate scrapping the rule, originally introduced in the 1965-66 season.
      Uefa is understood to be ‘neutral’ over the proposal, which must be approved by the ruling executive committee.
      If club chiefs agree, it could end for 2021-22 European competitions.

      FIFA has opened the door for ex-players to be in the VAR room.
      At the moment only current and recently retired referees — in the last three years — are allowed roles in the video booth.

      But Fifa president Gianni Infantino suggested the rules could change.
      Infantino said: “The real problem isn’t VAR but how it is applied and used. You can’t blame VAR if it’s not applied properly.
      “It’s only been with us since 2018 and we can improve a few things.
      “We will have to think about not having referees but specific VAR experts who can be responsible.”
      That suggests former stars could be brought into the process to offer a player’s perspective on what should and should not be penalised.
      Fifa has taken control of VAR from the International FA Board and is pushing for ‘semi-automatic’ offside calls using skeletal modelling — with decisions signalled to the ref and his assistants within seconds — for the 2022 World Cup finals.
      And Infantino is also a supporter of the ‘daylight’ offside law proposed by Arsene Wenger.
      He said: “We’re testing a possible new offside rule.

      He will have an eco-friendly house constructed on the site and restore the nine-hole private course to play on with friends.
      Marcus, 23, became the youngest person to top the Sunday Times Giving List last week after raising £20million to tackle UK child food poverty.
      He had already persuaded the Government to make a U-turn on free school meals, ensuring kids were fed throughout lockdown, and received an MBE for his services to vulnerable children.
      He will be able to relax at his new home which will boast a basement with wine cellar, gym, indoor swimming pool, plant room, games room and chill-out area.
      Plans for the main house state the ground floor will have a den, study, lounge, dining room, open-plan kitchen and breakfast room.
      And the first floor will have a master bedroom with en suite and walk-in dresser, four other bedrooms — three of which are also en suite — and a family bathroom.
