John Stones: I've had dark days at Man City – I thought my career was over
John Stones suffered 'dark days' last season after a series of injuries led him to question whether his career might be over. Going into the final year of his deal at Manchester City, the fit-again 31-year-old made clear he had no intention of leaving and would, at least, see out the remainder of his contract, making it a decade since he joined. 'I'm here, I want to stay here, I love it,' Stones said when asked about his future at a quickly evolving City. 'I'm here to help the team, and I don't know if what's been said or speculated, but I hope that kind of shuts it down.' Stones has endured a horrific time with injuries, suffering a series of set-backs having damaged his foot, then thigh and hamstring problems. He has not played since coming off early in the Champions League exit to Real Madrid in February. Stones is now fit and part of City's squad for the Club World Cup, which continues against the Abu Dhabi club Al Ain on Sunday evening here in Atlanta, even if Pep Guardiola has remained cautious and suggested the defender is not yet fit enough to start. Stones said he is 'raring' to go but also opened up on the frustration he has felt at having suffered so many fitness issues. 'There's been points where you think, you've been giving all this effort, you dedicate all your life, especially how I approach or go about my life, and football, I give everything, on and off the pitch to be here or be ready to play games and those are the dark days,' Stones said. 'I think everyone's been through them and think, 'why is this happening?' You wish it would have gone a different path. But, like I said, it's self-doubt, there's a lot of things. 'All of us have been through different upbringings and challenges through life and what did we do within those situations; was it fight or was it give up? I was a fighter from a young age. In difficult moments you have to look at the bigger picture and realise what are your morals, what you believe in, and fight to make it worthwhile.' Even so, Stones admitted the injuries had affected him 'mentally' as he worked with City's medical staff to find out why he was having so many problems. 'I wish I had the answer and we all had the answer. It is frustrating for me, I put a lot of pressure on myself,' he said. 'I find it very challenging mentally. I have had some very low points in the past season and I just have to come back and once you come over those things, you can't really see the end of the tunnel when they keep happening, 'And it's frustrating on the team, on myself, on the manager, that you're not available to help them. And you've got to find another way to be around the team. 'I've been here long enough now. I've been around football long enough to know that I can offer something else within those times and look for a positive in those situations. And it's difficult, I think that's the long and short of it, and I've got to learn from that. And I think it'll make me stronger in the long run.' Part of the frustration, Stones explained, is not knowing why he has suffered the injuries. 'I don't know what the reason is and we've sat with the medical staff, sports science, to try and figure out why,' he said. 'Some things can't be explained. Which is even more testing mentally when there's not really an answer. I've been unlucky with some of the injuries that I've had. They were very rare last season, after speaking to specialists. 'Sometimes I think: why has it happened to me? But I've got to deal with that and move forward and try to adapt with how my body's adapting. As I said, I feel great, I'm back fit, ready to help the team when called upon. I think this season I've got to look more detailed into training, things that I can do off the pitch that I can sustain playing a lot more games.' Stones signed for City in August 2016 from Everton in a deal worth £47.5million with Guardiola saying the pair had been through a lot together. 'Since I arrived, he arrived. The many good things and the sad things we lived together, we share it,' the City manager said. 'He's a sensitive person. He's an incredible human being. Incredible…I see him suffer because he cannot be working for ages and ages and ages. It's important, it's not sad. But the important thing now is, you know, at training sessions, he feels better.' Stones agreed and added that far from being physically and mentally tired – as many of his City team-mates will inevitably be during this tournament and after such a gruelling season – he is fresh. 'It's difficult when you're injured. You almost work longer and more. So from that aspect I know the guys mentally and physically have had such a long season. (But) I suppose mentally for me it's been difficult dealing with the injuries and the process. Now I've put that behind me and used this as a mini-introduction back before the new season and another trophy for us to hopefully win and get some game time,' Stones said. Even so during the 'dark days' he has had to draw deep on his own resilience. 'I think we all self-doubt as players and feel things and we want to get back as quick as possible, maybe that's a downfall sometimes that you try and push too soon,' Stones said. 'Definitely family, I think that's my biggest thing, being around them and having their support. You can feel very lonely at times when you're training by yourself and that's the difficult part of it, being in a team sport, not training with the team when you run out of the pitch in your rehab. 'So, a lot of things that you've got to get used to and deal with and try and set yourself goals to come back and it's been a challenge. I am over that hurdle.' Stones is returning to a quickly changing City, as the club attempts to move on from the failures of the last season with four new signings in June – including two centre-halves in Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov – who were bought in January. It has added to the competition Stones is ready to face in what is, at present, an enlarged squad. 'It's a great challenge for us all. Fighting for a starting place. Fighting for titles again,' he said of the 'super-healthy' competition for places. 'Everything moves on in life and in football. The club has had to make those decisions and bring new people in. They've been great so far. I can't speak highly enough of them… We want to raise each other's standards every day and keep pushing each other. It's quite rare in football to have the squad we have. Incredible players want the best for each other. That's something we've done over the years and made us successful.'

Bill Belichick defends Jordon Hudson in leaked emails after CBS interview
Bill Belichick has tried to defend his age-gap relationship with Jordon Hudson after his disastrous interview with CBS. The legendary NFL coach, 73, is preparing for his first season in college football but his tenure has been so far overshadowed by headlines surrounding his romance with Jordon, 24. One clip of Jordon at UNC practice caused problems for the legendary coach and soon reports emerged that she had been banned from the team's facilities. UNC denied that was the case. The CBS clip sparked fresh speculation surrounding Jordon's influence over the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach. Now, emails obtained by WRAL detail the fallout from the CBS interview. They show that disgruntled fans felt the relationship was turning the school into a 'laughing stock'. In the emails, however, Bill defended Jordon and their romance. He wrote to Beth Keith, a senior associate vice chancellor in the Office of University Communications: 'Jordon and I have both a person and professional relationship. 'This is not a secret... Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it.' He also explained why his girlfriend was at the interview, which was organized to promote his new book The Art Of Winning: Lessons From My Life In Football. Bill said: 'Jordon was present at the CBS interview because David Kass, the Simon & Schuster publicist, was not there. I included Jordon in the book acknowledgments because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the 4 special pages in the book.' According to WRAL News, however, Jordon intended to sit in on the April 21 interview regardless of whether Kass was there. Bill added: 'I met Jordon randomly on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021. That is no secret. Jordon was not dodging the specific question regarding how we met, but rather was preventing the interview from continuing to probe into personal matters.' He also claimed that at the start of the interview, Jordon asked where she could sit 'off-camera' but 'secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where Lead producer Gabe (Gabriel Falcon) instructed her to sit'. He added: 'For approximately 35 uninterrupted minutes, (CBS host Tony Dokoupil) asked questions about the book... then, the questions shifted to other subjects that were not related to the Art of Winning, which we had outlined as off-limits with my book publicist.' WRAL also revealed an email from a disgruntled UNC fan and former student who said they have 'never felt compelled to write a letter to our leadership, until now. I'm writing in response to the actions taken by Bill Belichick and his 24 year old girlfriend.' The email continued: 'Never did I think UNC would become a laughing stock in the sports world because of his young girlfriend.'

Xabi Alonso delivers Real Madrid warning after suffering first disappointment
New Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has called for patience after he replaced Carlo Ancelotti at the Bernabeu, with the former Bayer Leverkusen boss returning to a club he spent six years at as a player Xabi Alonso has warned it will take time for him to stamp his own authority on Real Madrid. Real Madrid boss Alonso says it will be an 'ongoing process' for the Spanish giants after their disappointing start to the Club World Cup. Trent Alexander-Arnold made his debut against Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal in the searing heat of Miami as Real were held to a 1-1 draw. They now face Mexican club Pachuca in Charlotte on Sunday with a determination to get back on track as RB Salzburg top the Group after winning their opening fixture. But they have also seen Kylian Mbappe miss training and was taken to hospital with gastroenteritis but his whole participation is now in serious doubt. Ex-Liverpool midfielder Alonso is known for his attention to detail, tactics and intricate formations wan it is clear that it will take time for him to impose his ideas. Alonso, talking ahead of the second game with Pachuca, said: 'Of course it will take time and it is a process. 'We are working together and working hard but we have to be patient and get things right on the training pitch for it to work in the matches.' That was a view shared by keeper Thibaut Courtois who put it bluntly: 'We were with Carlo Ancelotti for four years and now we have to change. It doesn't happen in four days.' Real Madrid starlet Gonzalo Garcia was one of several players to complain about the temperature, heat and kick-off time. They kicked off at 3pm and face a similar challenge in Charlotte with the same kick-off time and that city is known for its humidity. Garcia added: 'It's no excuse, and it's a game that perhaps would have been better at a different time.'
