'Wolves are going to come stronger and do some good things'
Toti Gomes believes resurgent Wolves will come back even stronger next season.
The defender played every minute under new boss Vitor Pereira last term and was heavily favoured in the left centre-back position in the latter half of the campaign.

'With Vitor, I've been playing a lot and I've been enjoying it. I've been in that position and we've been working hard trying to put the ideas that he shows on the training ground to the pitch,'' said Gomes.

'It's always good to have some competition as well between the positions, not just at centre-back, but in the other positions too.
'I think competition is going to make a better player. But, for me, I just want to play and help the team, and, if I play, I will always give my best.

'In defence, we all understand each other well. Agba (Emmanuel Agbadou) came during the season, but he quickly started doing well. We've been helping him since he arrived, we've been talking, we have good communication between us, so it's been good for me and for them as well. It's good to have some people like that who can help you and understand as well.
'Every year with every team, there's players coming in, others leaving, but it's always important the ones that are here give everything for the team.
'If new players come, we're going to welcome them and try to help them as quick as possible so they can adapt to the Premier League and to our team.
'At the moment, we don't want to put any goals down right now for the next season, but, for sure, we're going to come stronger and do some good things with ideas from Vitor.

'Right now, everybody needs to go on holidays, relax, and not think about football, because we had a tough season. Since the beginning, it's been tough, especially mentally. It's good for us all to go away on holidays, but as well, we've got to start to prepare for next season.
'We'll all do some work during the off-season, so we can come back even stronger for the pre-season. We want to do a better pre-season with Vitor, so we can start well in the Premier League, which is very important.'

Jon Gruden Sends Strong Arch Manning Message at Manning Passing Academy
Jon Gruden Sends Strong Arch Manning Message at Manning Passing Academy originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Every summer for nearly 30 years, some of the best coaches and players from across all levels have gathered for the iconic Massing Passing Academy. Advertisement Led by Archie, Peyton, Eli, and Cooper Manning, the camp is designed to go over fundamentals for younger players in grades 8-12 at positions such as wide receiver, running back, tight end and of course, quarterback. One of the best aspects of the camp is that some of the top quarterbacks in college football attend the camp as counselors to help spread their knowledge. Among the more notable counselors in attendance is someone who has grown up around this camp, Texas quarterback Arch Manning. The biggest name in college football, despite having just two career starts, is the grandson of Archie and nephew of Peyton and Eli. With three-year starter Quinn Ewers off to the NFL, Manning has been tabbed as the guy in Austin. While expectations are sky high for him, seemingly everyone who encounters Manning expects him to do great. The latest example of this is former Super Bowl-winning head coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jon Gruden. Advertisement The former coach-turned-content creator took to social media to express his high expectations for Manning. "The future in Austin, Texas it's Arch Manning," Gruden wrote. "What an awesome kid with a bright future ahead of him, let's go ARCH!" This past season saw the youngest Manning throw for 939 yards and nine touchdowns, while also racking up 108 yards rushing with four touchdowns on the ground. Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Wachter-Imagn Images The Manning era will begin in Columbus, Ohio, as Texas will be taking on the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes, who ended the Longhorns' season in the College Football Playoff Semifinal. The game is set to take place on Aug. 30, and will air on FS1's Big Noon Kickoff.

Germany eye return to women's football summit at Euro 2025
Germany captain Guilia Gwinn was named best young player at the 2019 World Cup (Ronny Hartmann) Ambitious and hungry, Germany's women head into Euro 2025 in Switzerland feeling they are on the cusp of another era of dominance. By far the most successful side in the history of the competition, eight-time winners Germany have not lifted the trophy since 2013. Advertisement But with a core of young players eager to honour the achievements of past generations, Germany are hopeful of a return to the summit this summer. Germany open their campaign against newcomers Poland on July 4 in St Gallen, followed by matches against Denmark in Basel, which will host the final, and Sweden in Zurich. - 'We can do it' - Two-time World Cup winners, a run spanning more than 20 years as the dominant team in the women's game in Europe shaped Germany's history and identity as the continent's top side. Since winning their first European crown as West Germany in 1989, the Germans have hoovered up seven more titles. Advertisement Norway, the next best, have won two titles while Sweden, England and the Netherlands have one apiece. In recent years however, the Germans have been inconsistent at major tournaments as other nations have started to catch up. After going out in the quarter-finals in 2017, Germany finished runners-up at Euro 2022 after losing 2-1 in extra time to England. At the 2023 World Cup, Germany suffered a shock group stage elimination for the first time in their history. A year later however, they rebounded at the Paris Olympics to finish third. Captain Giulia Gwinn scored the only goal as Germany beat world champions Spain to win bronze, finishing as the highest-placed European team. Advertisement Coach Christian Wueck's side are young -- only two of the 23 squad members are over 30 -- but many have several years experience in the Germany set-up. Speaking last month in Berlin, striker Laura Freigang said her team was ripe for a shot at a record ninth European Championship. "We believe in the title... We know we can do it. That's the motivation," Freigang said, adding her side had "absolute conviction" they could go all the way. Her strike partner Lea Schueller mirrored those sentiments. "We're Germany. We definitely want to win a title," she said in an interview with last month. Advertisement "We're not just taking part in the tournament for the sake of it." - Red-hot form - Forward Alexandra Popp's retirement last year could have hampered Germany's preparations, but the Germans are well stocked up front, with Schueller, Freigang and Klara Buehl posing a consistent threat. Germany boast impressive depth, but have also been hit by injuries. Midfield enforcer Lena Oberdorf failed to return from a cruciate injury in time, while Eintracht Frankfurt striker Nicole Anyomi also misses out. Wueck, who led Germany to the Under-17 boys' World Cup title in 2023, has been in the hot seat for less than a year but has the side in terrific form. Advertisement Germany have five wins and a draw from six Nations League matches heading into the tournament, with their recent 4-0 win over the Netherlands and a 6-0 thumping of Austria particularly impressive. "It was important for us to have two games in which we delivered our full performance for 90 minutes," Freigang said. "We've learned a lot in the past few months about ourselves as a team. We know what we need... it's time to put it into practice." When announcing the squad, Wueck said Germany were "good and balanced" and that their recent form would "boost" their self-confidence. "We want to play with a mix of joy, enthusiasm, desire and conviction. That's what the team stands for," he said. "If we manage to do that, we'll go very far." dwi/mw/ea

🎥🤯 2.21m NBA star dazzles with football skills on the pitch
There are many very tall footballers who have a legendary status among fans. Peter Crouch, Jan Koller, and Per Mertesacker are just three of them. All were just over or under two meters tall. If they were to stand in front of Victor Wembanyama, they would probably all get a stiff neck. The NBA superstar of the San Antonio Spurs is in fact 2.21m tall and thus even among basketball players a giant. Despite this, he recently showed that he has a few football skills on the local pitch. The Frenchman's free-kick lands exactly in the corner. No wonder the crowd present completely freaks out and celebrates the giant. Probably Wemby had looked over the wall beforehand and thus spotted the goalkeeper. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
