'I think the club is doing much better now, especially with the arrival of those three figures,' said Boniek.
'Gasperini is a guarantee. He is a coach who works hard and well,' he added. 'The hope is that everything can go smoothly from now on.'
'I expect the fans to be very positive about Gasperini. He's always looked after the interests of his team. Maybe he wasn't always the nicest guy, but the reason is simple: he was good and kept winning, and when that happens you forget about being nice.'
'I think his appointment was an excellent decision made by the club. An experienced choice. It's important to have a coach like him, tough and demanding, in a city where it's very easy to relax and rest on your laurels.'

Bayern Munich ‘willing to pay more' to beat Barcelona to key transfer target
La Liga giants Barcelona are at serious risk of missing out on a leading summer transfer market to another of the continent's top clubs. That's according to Diario Sport, who point towards Luis Díaz as the player in question. Advertisement Wide-man Díaz has of course seen his name take its place front and centre in the headlines across Europe over recent days. As much comes amid alleged interest in his services on the part of both Barcelona, and Bayern Munich. In the case of the former, the Blaugrana have pivoted back towards the Colombian, after coming up short in efforts to land Nico Williams from Athletic Club. German champions Bayern, meanwhile, already on the lookout for attacking reinforcements following Leroy Sané's departure, over the weekend lost Jamal Musiala to a long-term injury. The Bavarians are therefore also ready to ramp up their pursuit of Luis Díaz. Advertisement And if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media is anything to go by, then the board at the Allianz Arena are viewed as being in a superior position than their Camp Nou counterparts when it comes to the chances of striking a deal with Liverpool. As per a report from Sport: 'Bayern have entered the bidding strongly and would be willing to offer a higher sum than Barça.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Top 5 Best Formation FC 25 Career Mode: All Formations Ranked
If you're deep into Career Mode on FC 25, you would feel the need to experiment with different formations to find what suits you, your philosophy, and tactical style. EA FC has made some changes and is getting better every year with sharper pressing systems. It simply means you can't just rely on signing high-rated players anymore. Therefore, the systems you use matter more than ever. With the correct formations, you would be winning matches that you are frustratingly losing. Esports Formations like 4-3-3 that bring balance and could be used for possession or counterattacks. Similarly, 3-4-2-1 for width and counterattacks, and the ever-reliable 4-2-3-1 are dictating success in Career Mode this year. Sportsdunia has tested these across different leagues, budgets, and squad builds. Top 5 Best Formation FC 25 Career Mode [H2] 5. 4-3-3: This formation is top tier, tried, and amongst the top 5 Best Formation FC 25 Career Mode. You get everything from width, pressing, to control and tempo. You can have two pacy wingers who stretch the field and hug the touchline and provide you with pace, Vinicius can be really helpful and a target man in the box like Victor Osimhen can finish chances whether they come in from wings ot threaded through the midfield. You will need a solid anchor in the midfield like Rodri or Enzo. You get possession and pace, which gives you tactical flexibility. 4. 3-4-2-1: The 3-4-2-1 is ideal in Career Mode if you want control in midfield and overloads in attack without sacrificing defensive shape. It is suited for teams if you have aggressive wing-backs like Theo Hernandez, who can operate offensively and recover quickly. You need to have the three best CBs in FC who are pacey and comfortable on the ball, like Gvardiol or Rudiger. You will require a balanced midfield pivot, one being defensive, that would provide cover like Khéphren Thuram and a progressive one, Camavinga. Your two CAMs or wide attacking mids would continuously drift inside to link with your striker, who needs to be clinical and direct. 3. 4-2-3-1: The 4-2-3-1 is one of the safest and most tactically sound formations in Career Mode. It is ideal for players who want control in midfield and structure in defence. You will build around a natural No.10, ideally your CAM like Ødegaard. Your wingers need to be pacey and technical like Yamal or Nico Williams. A versatile striker like Isak, who can play the hold-up game, completes this formation, landing it in the list of the Top 5 Best Formation FC 25 Career Mode. 2. 4-2-4: This formation means only attack, it is perfect for you if you aim to overwhelm teams with pace and width. It is a high-risk, high-reward formation where you win by outsourcing your opponent. You need explosive forwards like Mbappe, Vinicius, and Raphinha. Your best CMs are critical, who need to be press resistant while keeping the shape intact. Your full-backs will not get much cover, so they need to be athletic and disciplined like Reece James. This attacking formation is easily among FC's 25 best career mode formations. 1. 3-5-2: If you want to dominate centrally while keeping two strikers up top, 3-5-2 is the formation that is perfect for you. Perfect for possession and counter-attacking, you will require strong and mobile CBS like Rúben Dias, Bastoni, and Saliba. Your wing-backs are crucial as they provide all the width, so go with Alphonso Davies. In midfield, go with a solid DM like Casemiro, a box-to-box runner like Valverde, and a creative playmaker like De Bruyne. Pick up Harry Kane for versatility up front, his hold-up play is elite, and Kylian Mbappe for speed and precision, they will deliver goals.

(Kirsty Wigglesworth / Associated Press) U.S. soccer star Trinity Rodman is at Wimbledon. Her father is not. But that hasn't stopped his name — Dennis Rodman — from coming up during coverage of the prestigious tennis tournament, which she has been attending in support of her boyfriend, Ben Shelton. Advertisement On Monday, after Shelton defeated Italy's Lorenzo Sonego 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 7-5 to advance to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time, Rodman took to her Instagram Story to express her frustration about the matter.

Named the NWSL rookie of the year in 2021, Rodman helped the Washington Spirit win its first league championship the same season. She also has made a name for herself with the U.S. women's national team, scoring three goals during the squad's run to Olympic gold last year in Paris.
