How Arne Slot created another monster at Liverpool: Why he completely revamped the squad this summer, what he has demanded from his players and the injury 'luck' that's actually something entirely different

Straight after Arne Slot 's first season at Feyenoord, 16 players left the club. Some for pastures which they viewed as greener grass, some because the club knew their place in the food chain and needed to sell their best assets, some turfed out by Slot simply because they were not good enough.

Five-time Pro-Bowler Brandon Scherff secretly retires from the NFL at age of just 33 after earning $111m

Former All-Pro guard Brandon Scherff has quietly retired from the NFL after earning $111million in an impressive 10 years in the professional game. Scherff, who played the last three of his 10 NFL seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, has not officially confirmed to the media - or his fans - that he has hung up his cleats. But an article this month about Scherff's induction into the Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame on the Hawkeyes' website referred to him as 'having retired from playing this summer.' The Iowa native became a free agent in March but had not signed with a team, and NFL insiders have now confirmed that he has indeed called a day on his playing career. 'It's been something I could never dream of,' Scherff said in the article about playing professional football. 'Sometimes I would tell my wife that she has to pinch me, because I'm playing a kid's game, and being able to do it as a job is pretty amazing. Now, having kids and being able to see them after games is absolutely wonderful. 'So I would say it's a dream come true. And I will be forever grateful to have had that chance.' Washington selected Scherff with the fifth overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft. Scherff started all 140 regular-season games that he played for Washington (2015-21) and Jacksonville (2022-24), as well as four total playoff games. Scherff was selected first-team All-Pro in 2020, as well as to five Pro Bowls (2016-17, 2019-21) and to the 2015 NFL All-Rookie team. In his final season at Iowa in 2014, Scherff was the Outland Trophy winner, a first-team All-American and the Big Ten's Offensive Lineman of the Year.

'Special goal' - Hibs striker Bowie delivers moment of magic

"Superlatives wouldn't do Kieron Bowie justice," Hibernian legend Lewis Stevenson raved. "He's going to have an amazing career."Superlatives are what will come Bowie's way though, and in spades, after the Scotland striker helped Hibs into a Conference League qualifying play-off with a breath-taking 59 minutes at Easter Road, with Hibs 2-0 down to Partizan Belgrade on the night and level on aggregate, Bowie arrested Partizan's momentum with a first-time shot from at least 35 yards out that flew into the back of the net off the post."I thought I'd seen a few good goals already this season," head coach David Gray said. "The one against Kilmarnock at the weekend was incredible - I think Kieron's is better."Add to that the emotion, the environment, where he's done it. It was a special goal at a special time." Bowie suffered an injury-hit first season at Easter Road, scoring six goals in 22 appearances, but has started this season superbly, finding the back of the net three times in six man himself was poetic in his description of his third - and undoubtedly best so far this term. "I just hit it and thankfully it took the spiderwebs off the back of the net," Bowie said. "Moments like this, that's why I've come here.""It's the best goal I've seen," team-mate Chris Cadden said. "Ridiculous. What a finish." Hibs come through 'massive test of character' Hibs went into Thursday's second leg as strong favourites given their excellent showing in Belgrade, but their two-goal lead slipped away in alarming fashion as goalkeeper Jordan Smith pushed Milan Vukotic's long-range effort into the top corner before allowing Jovan Milosevic's tame effort to squirm under trudged off at half-time to howls of dismay from the home supporters, but Gray believes the break came at a good time for his side."For large spells of the first half the shape was really good, we had the better chances and then there's obviously a couple of mistakes," Gray said."The character was certainly tested. Half-time came at a good time - I was able to calm them down and then it's all about character."And they showed their character through Bowie's inspired strike and through a string of Smith saves, who put his first-half horror show behind him admirably."I'm delighted for Jordan for his second-half performance," Gray said. "He made big saves at big times."Gray was keen to point out that his team's character was then tested tie looked done. Hibs were through, 3-2 up on aggregate with 30 seconds left of time added was before Partizan's Andrej Kostic swept home in the 96th minute to force extra-time."The game became stretched, we lost control at times," Gray said. "You think you're over the line and then you have to go again for another 30 minutes."Now it's all done and dusted there will be improvements to come from it, but that's for another night."
