The agent of Czech Republic full-back Theodor Gebre Selassie has confirmed that his client is interested in joining Werder Bremen.

Werder Bremen are currently looking for a new right-back and they believe Gebre Selassie would be a great addition to the squad.
“He is someone who interests us very much,” Werder Bremen chief Klaus Alofs .
“And he also had great interest in coming to us.”
Bild claims Slovan Liberec would settle for a fee between €1.5m and €2m, although they could ask for more after the player largely impressed playing for the national team at the European Cham…
While might have managed to drag themselves to a top-six finish last season, it did not cover what was a nightmare campaign at Old Trafford.
Breaking a host of unwanted records last season under the guidance of former bosses Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, the Red Devils are in the midst of what has been a rather public spiral over recent years.
With the likes of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho all failing to offer much stability to the English giants, it is now Erik ten Hag s turn in the Old Trafford dugout.
However, while the ex-Ajax manager might have gained plenty of praise during his tenure in Amsterdam, the 52-year-old has a real job on his hands.
So, with the start of the 2022/23 campaign just around the corner, we have take…
Thierry Henry says Dimitri Payet s emotion after scoring France s spectacular winner in their home Euro 2016 opener against Romania proved how hurt the West Ham star was by his 2014 World Cup snub in Brazil.
Payet was a mainstay in the France squad during qualification for the World Cup two years ago but did not make the final squad, though he was the hero with his match-winning goal in the 89th minute at the Stade de France.
And France great Henry said the emotion he displayed in the Group A opener in Paris proved how hurt he was by the exclusion.
He thought that he was going to go the World Cup in Brazil. He was involved in every single qualification game, Henry told BBC afterwards.
They didn t pick him. You saw a man that was hurt on the pitch today.…

The NFL has three games scheduled on Christmas Day beginning with an afternoon showdown between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs can clinch their eighth straight AFC West title with a win, which would essentially extinguish the Raiders’ playoff hopes.

As the frenetic Christmas schedule swings into action, players in England are very much in the minority among major European leagues in readying themselves for the customary glut of games squeezed into the tightest of holiday schedules. While the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 are embarking on a winter break, Premier League and Football League clubs face the prospect of three games in a week, starting with the traditional Boxing Day fixture. Until the late 1950s, there was even a full programme of games on Christmas Day itself, as one of the few public holidays that allowed working people to attend matches.
Boxing Day has become enshrined in English football culture as a much-loved curiosity of the fixture list. One reason why Boxing Day ma…
For nine months, players and coaches from the United States and the Netherlands have deflected questions about the impending rematch of the 2019 World Cup final. For nine months, they stressed that each team had a group stage match to play before they met, and that they would approach the tournament one game at a time.
Now, the moment has arrived, and there is no getting around it: Thursday’s match in Wellington is likely to decide the group winner and, with it, the pathway if the teams are to return to the final. This is the game the teams – and fans around the world – have been anticipating since the World Cup draw in October.
“I’m sure it’s going to be a challenge,” the USA head coach, Vlatko Andono…
