Club World Cup ‘the worst idea ever', says Jurgen Klopp
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has criticised the revamped Club World Cup, calling it the 'worst idea ever implemented in football'. In an interview with German newspaper Die Welt, published on Friday, Klopp said the tournament would put more strain on an already packed calendar for the players. The expanded format features a 32-team event held every four years during the pre-season, in the summers between major international tournaments. 'It's all about the game and not the surrounding events - and that's why the Club World Cup is the worst idea ever implemented in football in this regard,' he said. 'It's a pointless competition. Whoever wins it will be the worst winner of all time because they'll have played all summer and then gone straight back into the league. 'There are people who have never been involved in the day-to-day business of football and are now coming up with ideas.' Klopp also added his name to the chorus of voices highlighting that today's players are getting less and less time to rest, warning that adding another tournament was potentially dangerous for their health. 'It's too many games. I fear that next season we will see injuries like never before. If not then, they'll come during or after the Club World Cup,' the German said. 'There's no real recovery for those involved, neither physically nor mentally.' Klopp, who ended his highly successful nine-year stint with Liverpool in 2024, is now head of global soccer for Red Bull, owners of several clubs including RB Leipzig and New York Red Bulls. Klopp was also asked if he would like to coach again, but said, 'I don't want that anymore. I have a job now that fulfils me and is also intense. I don't sleep in the morning and I don't go to bed later at night, but I can organise my work much better.'

Live Under-21 European Championship final: Jay Stansfield keeps place for England against Germany
Lee Carsley is confident England Under-21s have the quality, experience and self belief to beat Germany in tonight's Euros final and retain their continental crown. Two years on from winning the competition for the first time since 1984, England are preparing for another final having narrowly avoided a shock group-stage exit. Slovenia's defeat of the Czech Republic meant England edged through as Group B runners-up despite losing 2-1 to much-changed Germany, who they will face again in this evening's Bratislava showpiece. Carsley's side have kicked on since then, with a 3-1 quarter-final win against favorites Spain followed by Wednesday's impressive 2-1 semi-final triumph against the Netherlands. 'One more step, which is the biggest step,' the Under-21s boss told BBC Radio 5 Live. 'But we've got that experience, we've done it before, so hopefully we can play with a lot of respect for opponents but try and impose our gameplan on them. 'We all set out with one objective, and that was to try and win it again. 'It's obviously easier said than done, but I wanted the lads to have the confidence and belief that we could do that. 'We tried to leave all of the hope at St George's (Park) and come out here with belief and I think that the players have got a great spirit about them. 'I think they really are together, they're committed to what they're trying to do and I'm very lucky as a coach, along with the rest of the staff, to work with these players.' England overcame tough opposition and stifling heat in Slovakia to reach a second successive Euro Under-21s final. Harvey Elliott smashed them ahead and, having been rocked by Noah Ohio levelling from distance, the Liverpool midfielder slalomed through to spectacularly seal a 2-1 semi-final triumph.

Man Utd and Arsenal given Viktor Gyokeres boost as £65m-rated striker comes to new transfer agreement with Sporting
VIKTOR GYOKERES has been given more time off as Sporting try to resolve his future. The Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal target has had a standoff with the Portuguese side over his selling price. 2 Sweden striker Gyokeres is at war with president Frederico Varandas and warned he will not return for the start of pre-season training on Tuesday. But Sporting have told Gyokeres he can come back on July 7, giving Prem suitors the chance to make a move. Gyokeres, 27, claims Sporting have gone back on a gentleman's agreement to sell him at a price well below his £85million release clause. Sporting, who have lined up Colombia star Luis Suarez of Almeria as Gyokeres' replacement, want at least £65million for their lethal No 9. And Arsenal's opening gambit was a good £10million below that — leaving the door open for others. Gyokeres favours a move to the Gunners and their lack of progress with supposed No 1 target Benjamin Sesko, 22, offers him hope. RB Leipzig are yet to receive any bid for Sesko, who scored 21 goals across 45 games in all competitions last season. Liverpool are unlikely to make a big move for a new striker without offloading Darwin Nunez. 2 And that relies on Serie A champions Napoli resurrecting the sale of Victor Osimhen to Al-Hilal. Chelsea are also interested in Osimhen. But Napoli know no other club is likely to match the £63.5m they hoped to bank from the Saudis.
