Why Manchester City's latest multi-million-pound midfielder Tijjani Reijnders is more than just replacement for Kevin De Bruyne: THE SHARPE END
Pep Guardiola has never been shy about his love for midfielders. As he said back in 2018: 'If I could play with 11 of them, I would.' So much of Guardiola's philosophy – and his success – has stemmed from dominating the centre of the pitch. Control the middle, says Pep, control the game.

First impressions of Martin
First impressions of Russell Martin?Very positive. He speaks well, has a clear vision of what he wants to do and how he wants his team to play, and is a big advocate of the one thing that could get him what he wants: hard clearly delighted to be the new Rangers head coach and says he wants to make up for his time here as a player when, to paraphrase his own words, he was a bit rubbish and wishes he could have offered driven, motivated and has a clear footballing philosophy.I asked him at the end of his first media conference if he expected to be given time. He isn't. He said he needs to win early. By that I thought he meant trophies. He clarified that as winning however, he knows he has to deliver for an expectant club and support. One thing is also clear: he is not afraid of the challenges ahead.
