, having completed a big-money move to City in the summer of 2017.

The Portugal international playmaker is looking forward to the challenge, with the 23-year-old determined to get his hands on more major silverware as quickly as po sible.

He told Sky Sports: We will try to do our best to finish the Premier League as soon as we can.

It's not finished yet, and we have to do a serious job, keep concentrated and focus, and then to try something in Cameron Maybin Jersey the Champions League as well.

Especially because here in England you do not have the winter break. Normally I would say Spanish teams, without the additional Justin Bour Jersey competition and with the winter break, they are fresher than us.

So to be able to finish the Premier League before the main games in the Champions League would be great, so we can rest a bit and be 200 per cent in the Champions League games.

All the staff, all the players. Personally, when I arrived everyone helped me so much in the beginning and still now. It's great to Cody Allen Jersey be a part of this club.

My job is doing what I most like in the world, to play football, so to be able to be a football player, especially playing in an amazing club, probably in the best league in the world, is the perfect job for me.

When I was five, 10, 15 years old, I always dreamed of being in the best league in the world, playing with some of the best clubs. To be at Man City, to play alongside some of the best players, it is great. It was Albert Pujols Jersey a dream that became true for me.

Thiago Alcantara has rebuffed the criticism aimed at David de Gea during the World Cup group stage.

De Gea spilled Cristiano Ronaldo's shot in Spain's dramatic 3-3 draw with Portugal to Neil Walker Jersey open Group B, and though he kept a clean sheet in the 1-0 victory over Iran, he conceded two of Morocco's three shots Asdrubal Cabrera Jersey on target in a 2-2 draw on Monday.

Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago, who started just one of Spain's three group games, suggested the Manchester United shot-stopper's hard work in training would go some way to silencing his critics.

"If you have seen the matches of David de Gea at Manchester United you can see that he is Jeurys Familia Jersey a porterazo magnificent goalkeeper ," he told reporters.

With only two qualifying matches left to play, mighty Mexico still hasn't clinched a spot at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and El Tri fans are growing restle s with coach Gerardo 'Tata' Martino the target of their frustrations as the team heads into Honduras for the penultimate qualifying contest.

Mexico can clinch a direct berth on Sunday with a win in Honduras, coupled with a Costa Rica lo s or draw. And even a draw in San Pedro Sula, paired with a Costa Rica lo s and anything but a win for Panama, would get the job done. But fans have wanted more: theexpectation is that Mexico should flex its muscles against regional competition, win convincingly, and stroll into every World Cup.

That hasn't happened in this qualifying cycle with Mexico sitting in third place and Costa Rica charging Tom Wilson Jersey hard, only three points behind. El Tri's final match on Wednesday will see it host El Salvador, while Costa Rica are at home to the USA.

Anything but a win in Honduras will have Mexico sweating out qualification on the final matchday. But playing in El Tri's favor is the fact that fans won't be permitted at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula after for fan behavior in a previous home match, which saw altercations in Dale Hunter Jersey the stands spill out onto the field.

With our without fans, San Pedro Sula hasn't been the house of horrors for visiting teams it usually is during qualifying. Honduras only have a draw and five lo ses in the previous six home matches. Recently installed coach Hernan Dario 'Bolillo' Gomez is looking to rebuild La Bicolor, beginning with its leaky back line. The work is seemingly paying off as seen in the 1-1 draw at qualifying contenders Panama on Thursday.

His counterpart, Martino, didn't travel to Honduras due to a medical i sue involving a detached retina, but he will still pick the lineup with his a sistant Jorge Theiler standing in on the sidelines. Martino will be watching from home hoping one of the following scenarios comes to pa s to relieve the pre sure.

Tata Martino tends to switch out four to six starters from match to match in these three-game qualifying windows to keep the team fresh. Among the potential candidates to step in vs. Honduras: Jesus Gallardo at left back, Nestor Araujo or Hector Moreno at center back, Luis Romo or Erick Aguirre in central midfield, Uriel Antuna or Roberto Alvarado at winger, Henry Martin at center forward for Raul Jimenez.

Every player is available for selection except for Alexis Vega who is suspended after picking up a yellow card against the USA. Center back Nestor Araujo came into camp carrying a knock, but he's expected to be ready after sitting out the match against the Jaromir Jagr Jersey Americans.

It remains to be seen what condition the field will be in after both teams were not allowed to practice on it for the usual walkthrough the day before the match. Wet weather in the area led to the decision to preserve the field, but there's still a 50 percent chance of rain on Sunday.

The field is already typically slow and heavy in San Pedro Sula, and if it's further impacted by weather, we could be looking at a sloppy game in which a single goal could decide it.

Honduras usually gets up to face Mexico and will try to muck up the game and play physical even without a home crowd to support it. El Tri is accustomed to Michal Kempny Jersey slogging through those types of matches, and their superior quality should win out in the end.

Wolves will be restarting life in the top flight with one of the worlds best goalkeepers in their line-up; a player with 70 international caps to his name, a player with a European Championship winners medal locked in his safe, a player with his name on the list of candidates for the Ballon dOr le s than two years ago.

And right now it would appear that Portugals starting goalkeeper at this World Cup for nothing.

It will be some time before the complexities of the 30-year-olds free transfer from Sporting CP are unravelled. To understand why that is, the role of Sportings maverick president Bruno de Carvalho must be analysed. Tennessee Titans Jersey

Having taken over the role in 2013, De Carvalho takes credit for saving the club from financial oblivion but his abrasive, confrontational style has won him few friends in the corridors of power.

It culminated in the events of May 15 this year when Sportings players and staff were attacked by up to 50 ultras. Top scorer Bas Dost was left with cuts to his head and images captured on the day show the Dutchman perplexed with tears in his eyes.

The president had gained a reputation for lashing out at opponents, journalists, agents, the football federation and even his own fans on social media throughout his tenure and in April of Taywan Taylor Jersey this year he attacked his own players on Facebook after they had lost 2-0 in their Europa League quarter-final first leg against Atletico Madrid.

The squad led by captains Rui Patricio and William Carvalho responded saying that the president should make more attemptsto support and lead the club.

From there, and described the players as spoilt children. The suspension was lifted after a crisis meeting but the atmosphere remained toxic. And on May 15 Austin Johnson Jersey one of the most shameful days in the history of Portuguese football unfolded.

Armed with makeshift weapons, around . The attack was met with outrage in Portugal with prime minister Antonio Costa formalising a national body to combat violence in sport. A couple of days later, Sporting lost the Portuguese cup final having earlier seen their Champions League ambitions washed out.

Rui Patricio and others had by that stage resolved to leave the club. The goalkeeper enlisted the services of Jorge Mendes Dion Lewis Jersey and his Gestifute agency heavily involved with Wolves to find a new place to work. A move to the Premier League newcomers fell through at the end of Maywith De Carvalho blaming Mendes for asking for a high commi sion.

Gestifute hit back, saying nothing could be further from the truth and claiming it did everything in its power to secure an 18 million (16m/$21m)fee for the keeper. It claimed that an 11th-hour request from the Sporting president for another 2m scuppered the deal.

Rui Patricio, stemming from the training ground attack. Coach Jorge Jesus is also gone.

The goalkeeper released a 34-page statement detailing the reasons for his exit from his boyhood club. Through the pa sages he lamented the fact that the club could not guarantee his physical and psychological safety.

Some Sporting fans have since criticised Rui Patricio for betraying the club that formed him and warned Wolves that a day in court would come. Thats because this week Sportings Steve McNair Jersey Board of Directors proclaimed that the contract terminations were illegal.The club maintains there was no just cause for the players to cancel their contracts and are seeking damages and lo sesin court.

For now though, Wolves may well have pulled off the transfer coup of the summer. It appears the club president Bruno Marcus Mariota Jersey De Carvalho will bear the brunt of the blame for his foul-up and his future could well be decided at a General A semblyon June 23.

Rui Patricio will be between the posts for Portugals second World Cup Group B match against Morocco having conceded three against Spain on matchday one. It was not an ideal start to the competition but the Euro 2016 winners will be expected to realign their campaign today in Moscow.

And at the conclusion of the campaign he will be off to Molineux for a new chapter. What else plays outremains to be seen.

Bayern Munich are the big favourites to win this season's Champions League, according to James Rodriguez.

The Colombian Nazair Jones Jersey midfielder joined the Bavarian side from Real Madrid on a two-year loan deal last summer, but is expected to make Jamar Taylor Jersey it a permanent switch.

And Rodriguez expects the Bundesliga leaders to overcome the Turkish side and go all the way to unseat his parent club as European champions.

"Bayern are my Steve Largent Jersey favourites to win the Champions League," James toldSport Bild.

"We have a super team with top players. Why shouldnt we win the Champions League?"

James' loan move is expected to be made permanent in the near future. Shaquill Griffin Jersey German media reports the league leaders will pay around 6.5 million per season he is on loan there, with a further 42m needed to convince Madrid to let him go.
