Conte wants aggression from the players

The new Chelsea manager Antonio Conte called on his players to show more aggression on the field, because only with an aggressive game, the club mentioned by soccer-tips can achieve success.
Six players of the `blue` received yellow cards in the control meeting with Liverpool on Wednesday, while Cesc Fabregas was even sent off for rough entry into the foot of the player of Merseysiders, Ragnar Klavan.
`I like it when I see the aggression at the players. I want to build the identity of the feisty team in Chelsea, so I emphasize on that in training.`, said the former coach of the Italian national team.
`So far I`m very pleased with the performance of the players because it shows that they have character. However, they must continue to work in the same way, in order to be able to fight again for the title. I don`t want to just talk, and the actions of the players to show what I mean.`, added Conte.
Chelsea opens a new season in the English Championship on August 15 with a London derby with West Hem at Stamford Bridge.

The Sporting Director of FC Bayern Munich left the club

The Sporting Director of Bayern Munich, Matthias Sammer, left the club. The management of the Bavarians respected the application of Sammer for his contract to be terminated. It should expire in June 2018.
The 48-year-old received a microinfarct in April and although he looked fully recovered when returned to his duties, he chose to withdraw.
`I had the opportunity to think about a lot of things. For my family, for my work at Bayern Munich. To be a director at Bayern means to be available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and to give all his energy for the team and for the audience. At the moment, I don`t want to take all those responsibilities.`, said Sammer.
Sammer was adamant that it was completely rebuilt by the microinfarct and is not the reason to take the decision to resign from his position.
Matthias Sammer replaced Christian Nerlinger in 2012 at the position of Sporting Director.
Sammer was a part of the team and Josep Guardiola was at the root of the attraction of Arturo Vidal, Robert Lewandowski and Mats Hummels.
Bayern`s Executive Director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed that the position which until now had been free was a part of Sammer`s responsibilities will be shared by the other guiding factors in the club.
