🎙️ Ander Herrera: "First the Apertura, then the Club World Cup"
OneFootball had the opportunity to speak with Ander Herrera, thanks to Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and took the chance to ask him about how he's preparing for the Club World Cup.Currently, the Xeneize player is injured and recovering from a grade two tear in the rectus of his right leg. However, he has the illusion of being able to face Lanús.
"I'm recovering to beat Lanús on Saturday and the Club World Cup will arrive later, but there's still over a month to go. We're going to try to fight for the Apertura title. We've had a very good first half before the playoffs. We're the second team with the most points".
Ander knows that a totally exciting competition like the Club World Cup is coming, but for now, he only thinks about the local terrain.
"After what has to happen in the Apertura, we'll think about the Club World Cup. I know everyone has high expectations, but I take it day by day. First Lanús and then the next thing will come".
Ander Herrera partnered with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, official sponsor of the UEFA Europa League and Conference League, for his latest campaign "Rent-A-Player". Whether you need a car for a weekend getaway or a replacement while yours is in the shop, Enterprise has you covered with 22 branches in Argentina.

Pavel Datsyuk: Red Wings Rookie Season Felt Like Arriving On A "Crazy Planet"
It's hard to believe nowadays that the legendary 2001-02 Detroit Red Wings roster featured an astounding 10 future Hall of Fame players, a feat that we'll likely never witness again in the modern NHL. Oh, and they were also coached by Scotty Bowman, arguably the greatest head coach in professional sports. That team was nothing short of a juggernaut, and they capped the campaign by winning the 10th Stanley Cup in Red Wings history. There likely weren't many who would have expected young rookie forward Pavel Datsyuk, a fresh-faced rookie who didn't yet speak English, would not only soon be paired on a line with Brett Hull but would eventually have his own Hall of Fame career in Detroit. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. While stepping into a dressing room filled with some of the sport's most iconic names might have been intimidating for a first-time NHL player, Datsyuk never showed it outwardly. Datsyuk's entrance into a brand new culture was partially aided by the presence of Russian veterans Igor Larionov and Sergei Fedorov, whom he was able to communicate with in his native tongue as he adjusted to life in North America. Datsyuk recently appeared on Larionov's podcast, 'PARI with Larionov', and spoke about his feelings all those years ago on earning a roster spot with the Red Wings in the fall of 2001. "I got to some crazy planet, where another world opened up to me, the hockey world," Datsyuk said. "I could attend a training session, where every training session was like a lesson for me. One day I could watch one player, another day another." "It was such a wonderful time," he continued. "I remember it like this, like it happened to me in one day. How I ended up in Detroit and the whole time it was like I didn't close my mouth." Datsyuk quickly became a permanent fixture on the Red Wings and soon earned recognition as one of the most gifted and dynamic players in modern NHL history. He was praised as much for his offensive brilliance as for his defensive play, winning the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward in three straight seasons. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2024, Datsyuk became the 10th player from the 2001-02 Red Wings roster to be forever enshrined in Toronto. "I ended up with NHL stars on a team where I could learn, I ended up with the guys we were watching," he said. "Yes, I was a little shy talking to them, but I was there the whole time, watching, listening, getting advice." Never miss a story by adding us to your Google News favorites.

Patriotic punters cost Ladbrokes owner with winning bets on Lionesses
One of the UK's biggest bookies has said it lost out on winnings paid in the women's Euros final as patriotic fans got behind the Lionesses, while the men's Club World Cup drew in 'surprising' global support. Entain, which owns betting shops Ladbrokes and Coral, said the tournaments were among the most bet-on sporting events of the year so far. England's Lionesses were victorious in the Women's Euro 2025, having beaten Spain on penalties in last month's final. So-called 'patriotic punters' typically get behind their own team or country by betting on them winning. If results go in the favour of gamblers, this can result in losses for bookies who have to pay out the winnings. Rob Wood, the group's finance boss and deputy chief executive, told the PA news agency: 'We did lose a little bit of money on that match. 'But because it was a draw at 90 minutes, that wasn't a bad outcome.' The latest tournament was the group's most bet-on women's Euros ever, beating 2022, driven by a surge of activity in Spain and Brazil. Mr Wood said the women's Euros 'didn't overlap the Club World Cup, so it helps to fill the void' left between men's international football matches. The finance chief also said the Club World Cup tournament, where 32 teams competed in the US, was a popular addition to the calendar for its customers. The final, which saw Chelsea defeat Paris Saint-Germain, was the most popular football match by the number of bets taken for Entain. 'What was fascinating is that in some parts of the world it was huge for us, really popular, and in other parts there wasn't a lot of interest,' Mr Wood told PA. For example, the level of support in Brazil was 'really surprising' with double the number of bets for the tournament than for South America's Copa America. 'We really leaned into the tournament and it paid off,' he said. Sign in to access your portfolio
