Sergio Ramos has been playing professional football for almost 15 years, and his going back to 2018 is a bit different for him. The Real Madrid captain has increased his trophies once again, releasing a series of new awards with the team of Sofia residents, but these 12 months will remain in history as unusual for him.
The reason 2018 will remain in his mind, and in that of fans like the one in which he does not have a single red card! Since moving from his native club to Sevilla to Real Madrid in 2005, Ramos has built up his reputation for being an extremely hardcore footballer who is not afraid of galloping and sanctions and quite often saw the red color of the cardboard.
Now, however, the situation is different - so far in the 2018/2018 season, he has not been sanctioned the hardest in football once and his last two expulsions came in 2017 against Deportiv La Coruna in August and Athletic Bilbao inDecember.
A notorious achievement for the player who has been expelled more than anyone else in the history of the Spanish championship adviced by watch online football (19), right? Real Ramos has a total of 24 red cards, and the interesting thing here is that when he did not play for the Madrid team and for the national team of Spain - that was not the case in a total of 161 matches!

Football tips Ranieri to his player: 'I wanted to kill him, it is not to believe what he did!'
Fulham picked up a very important home win with 1:0 over Huddersfield with a goal in the added time, but manager Claudio Ranieri was not happy with all his players. He got angry at Aboubacar Camara, who missed a penalty in the 81st minute. The Italian was annoyed not by the team itself, but by the fact that the attacker had deliberately decided to shoot the white point, even though he did not have permission to do so. 'I told him to leave the ball to Aleksandar Mitrovic because he`s our punk. It`s not to believe he did not show respect for me, the club, his teammates, and the fans. And after he did not score, I wanted to kill him. It is not normal for a player to take the ball and to beat just because he had the previous penalty. But then Mitrovic was not on the pitch!;, Ranieri explained after the meeting.
Otherwise, Mitrovic realizes the victory that the Londoners have won. The Serbian national, however, accepted the drama more calmly around the penalty. 'We had a little quarrel because I think performance is my task. But he did not think that way. Still, I respect his opinion. I myself have done the same in the past. I have no problem with what happened. He missed it, but it`s part of the game!', Mitrovic explained.

The guest man brought a new 3 points to Borussia (M)
Borussia (Monchengladbach) came third in the Bundesliga after a tough 1-0 win over Bayer (Leverkusen). Thus, after the 18th round, the foals remain at 3 points from the second Bayern (Munich). Alassane Plea realized the only goal in the 37th minute. For the French striker, this is the tenth hit in his debut campaign in the German elite and which is even more valuable for his team - eighth on a foreign field.
The players of Leverkusen missed many positions and deserved at least a point. Debut as their coach made Peter Boss, who replaced Heiko Herrlich.
Borussia`s former manager (Dortmund) bet on his favorite 4-3-3 with Kevin Volland at the top of the attack and Karim Bellarabi and Leon Bailey on the wings. The young hopes of the Bundestica, Julian Brandt and Kai Havertz, were in the midfield. Dieter Hecking came out with the same scheme as Lars Schindel was at the front in the company of Alasan Plea and Thorgan Hazard.
In the first part, the Aspirins were more active in the front, but they did not have a clear chance. Sumer reflected all distant shots. In turn, the guests took advantage of a good situation in the 37th minute when Jonas Hofmann brought Plea into position and with his right foot he hit the goal.
Minutes before the break, Leverkusen`s guard Lucas Hradecky saved a secure second goal when Nico Elvedi hit his head.
The hosts started much better in the second half and quickly created two dangers after the centering. In the 54th Hauvertz even managed to get himself against Jan Sommer, but the goalkeeper just took his ball.
After another eight minutes, the young midfielder was again in perfect position for a goal but shot weak and straight into the hands of Sumer.
The 67th minute came when Bailey demanded a penalty kick, but the judges were clear that the goalkeeper had not touched it. Two later, and Fole y was desperate by the Swiss watchman, who easily wiped his shot. Gradually, Bayer`s players started defending themselves and defeated Hoffmann in the 81st centimeters by 2-0. By the end the defense in white did not crack and all three points went to Borussia`s account.
In the next round, Bayer will visit Wolfsburg, and Gladbach will argue with Augsburg at home.

Sad end of the US Open for Nadal
His defending US Open Rafael Nadal finished in the most unpleasant way he played in the tournament. The injury was halted by the Spaniard on the 1/2-final against Juan Martin Del Potro at 7:6 (3), 6:2 in favor of the Argentine. Matadora felt pain at the start of the second set, which apparently influenced his game and eventually he decided that he no longer needed to stand on the court and did not start the third set at all. The first set was quite equal. Del Potro twice broke through, but Nadal immediately returned the breakthrough in the next game and did not allow the Argentine to break away. The `Tower of Tandil` even missed two setups at 5:4 and owns a serve, but instead allowed its second break and eventually came to a tiebreak.
Del Potro showed a much more stable game by contact with tennis picks and strong nerves to reach the 7:3 win, and though in the ha rd way, the set went to the Argentine`s account.
At the start of the second set, Nadal took a medical timeout, apparently having a knee problem. Still, he continued to play, but his actions on the court were not at the familiar level and Del Potro managed to win the 6:2 set with two breaks without any difficulty. This eventually led Nadal to abandon his further participation in the match and the tournament, and in fact gave up his title. Del Potro is already a finalist in the tournament, reaching this phase for the second time in his career after winning the title in New York in 2009. He expects the winner of the collision between Kei Nishikori and Novak Djokovic later in the night.

Kim Clijsters: 'What Serena did was impressive!'

It`s hard enough to be a mother for the first time, then be professional withI can talk about myself, I do not know how it is with Serena It was hard for me to find the balance between wanting to be with my daughter but I knew that if I wanted to play tennis again at high level, to put tennis first in certain moments, it was difficult because you feel guilty, but after a while you get used and find the balance!', said the Belgian. Asked who is the best memory of the Australian Open, Kim did not get one. `It`s hard to pick one, I`ve had so many nice moments here, my match from contact with best sport picks against Li Na when she had points to win the match, and I hurt my ankle, emotionally that was a great win, I always loved the audience`s energy here, evennow that I do not play, `Clijsters said.
Kim is also commenting on the development of the tournament so far:` I am surprised by the victory of Collins over Kerber, and it is interesting to see, for example, Svitolina, who wins the WTA Championship late last season, playing with a lot of confidence, so talented players, Pliskova, for example, there are so many interesting tennis players who can defeat a certain day, but I think Serena with her experience is a favorite.'

The waiting for Newcastle is over! Their first victory is now a fact!
Newcastle achieved the first Premier League victory since the start of the season after winning with 1:0 over Watford at St. James`s Park. Ayoze Perez (65 `) was the only one to score, after having missed a couple of good times before, and Pereyra had hit the bar. Thanks to this first success, the club climbed over the falling area. Rafael Benitez made a change - Jose Salomon Rondon began for the first time in the Premier League on 22 September. The Venezuelan replaced Ayoze Perez at the top of the attack. Jose Holebas returned to Watford`s starting lineup at Adam Masina`s.
The guests created several good opportunities in the first part. As early as the 15th minute, Adrian Mariappa was left alone on the far beam where he caught his head. His shot was blocked, but then the ball came back to him. However, his addition from the small penalty area was not accurate. Deulofeu also missed two great chances after shooting off the door from good positio ns.
In the 49th minute Pereyra`s shot hit the beam, and shortly thereafter, Cathcart fired his head above the door. Watford looked very dangerous on the counter, but the guests did not manage to take advantage of the situations they had come to. That`s how it came to 65 minutes when Ki was very good at a foul and Perez`s head was 1:0.

How Emery wonders at Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino and Tottenham have earned their recognition far and wide due to their intense style of play and the pressing of their opponents. However, they were caught with a downed guard in the derby of North London, as Arsenal would have his eternal enemy with his own stones on his head at his very beginning.
The artillery players were well deserved in the 10th minute with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang`s penalty goal after they executed perfectly the plan of their manager Unai Emery not to give the spurs a shot. So it was not surprising that by the 20th minute Harry Kane had touched the ball only four times -less than half of any other footballer, including Bernd Leno - that`s how the relationship between the leader of the team and his teammates was torn. Arsenal refused to give them a centimeter of field.
Emery`s starting plan to place high-pressure and direct passes on the outside of Tottenham central defenders;especially the corridor between Serge Aurier and Juan Foyth doing a wonderful job. So the spurs were stifled and could not, through Moussa Sissoko and Eric Dier from the heart of the midfield, build a game predicted by fixed tips record through the opponents` press. There was a convincing victory, and Mesut Osil`s absence, officially due to spasm in his back, definitely helped the goal.
He also helped to constantly patch Emery by the touchline. The Arsenal fans are conquered by this approach by their manager.
The positions were changing one after another and the hosts seemed to be close to increasing their lead. Until the 28th minute the expected goals (xG) of gunmen according to the Understat chart. com were 1, 26 against just 0, 08 guests. That`s why it was astonishing how the Pochettino's team managed speedily and undeservedly to turn the score to 1:2 with the goals of Eric Dier and Kane. From here until the end of the half-time, the scorched Arsenal never managed to threaten the door of Hugo Loris, as the pressure dropped and Aubameyang remained isolated.
At the break, saw his team lose height and gave way to the center, Emery touched his system. Otherwise, the excellent Alex Iwobi, who led the pressuring of the actions and harassed Aurier, and the anonymous Henrikh Mkhitaryan were replaced by Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette. The latter formed an offensive tandem with Aubameyang and Ramsey behind them, with 1-3-4-3 going to 1-3-4-1-2.
At first, the Welsh position brought trouble to Dier and Sissoko. The reserve could be calm in the presence of Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka behind him to act in the semi-space on both sides, and at the same time to attack with vertical ballless ball the space behind the defense. So did Aubameyang`s equalizing goal. Suddenly Dier and Sissoko were trapped, unable to squeeze for fear of freeing space behind their backs. And then Pochettino blinked first - Dier returned as the third central defender to Vertonghen and Foyth, bringing a new wind to the hosts` sails.
