Guardiola praises Haaland’s self-control as City prepare for next Arsenal face-off | Erling Haaland
Pep Guardiola has lauded Erling Haaland for showing self-control despite his rough treatment from Premier League defenders doing whatever they can to stop the Manchester City striker.
One of the few times Haaland’s discipline has lapsed was in the reverse fixture against Sunday’s opponents, Arsenal, earlier this season, when he was involved in a match-long physical battle with the centre-backs Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba. When John Stones scored a 97th-minute equaliser for City, Haaland threw the ball at the back of the Brazilian’s head while celebrating. That sparked a heated confrontation before the striker told the Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, to “stay humble” after the final whistle.
“The game was emotional for Erling and it’s not easy when you have 90 minutes and you know Gabriel and the central defenders push him and hug him and hug him and kiss him, and these kinds of things,” Guardiola said. “He had to react. Arsenal are a physical team – in a good way in many aspects – and at the end what happened through the emotions happened. So it’s done.”
Haaland has an impressive disciplinary record, collecting only two bookings in 32 appearances for City this season. “I’m surprised how he can control his emotions because with every action he’s pulled and he’s pulled and the referee is always ‘play on’,” Guardiola said. “How many times does it happen? And always he never complains, he controls himself so talking of a reaction on one day is not real. It’s not about what Erling does [did] for one day. He behaves incredibly well.
“He stands up, he knows it’s going to happen, the Premier League is that way. You have to stand up and continue, continue, continue and defend your position. It’s always what he has done. So for one day am I going to adjudicate on what he’s done? Come on, I don’t buy it.”

City have made three signings in January but Guardiola doubts they will be able to find someone to fill Rodri’s void before the transfer window closes on Monday night. The Spanish midfielder suffered a cruciate ligament injury against Arsenal in September and City have suffered without him.
Reports in Spain suggested Guardiola had spoken to Sergio Busquets about moving to England from Inter Miami, an idea the City head coach refutes. “He is so happy in Miami,” Guardiola said. “The weather there is so delightful. I spoke to Sergio, not for that issue.”
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has heaped praise on striker Erling Haaland for his remarkable self-control on the field, as the team gears up for their next face-off against Arsenal.Guardiola commended Haaland for his composure and maturity during high-pressure situations, highlighting his ability to stay focused and deliver consistent performances. The manager also lauded the young striker’s work ethic and dedication to improving his game.
As City prepare to take on Arsenal in their upcoming match, Guardiola expressed confidence in Haaland’s ability to make a significant impact on the game. The team is looking to secure another victory and maintain their strong position in the league standings.
Haaland, who has been in sensational form this season, will undoubtedly be a key player for City as they aim to continue their winning streak. Fans can expect an exciting clash between two top teams, with Haaland poised to showcase his talent once again.
Stay tuned for more updates on City’s preparations for the upcoming match against Arsenal and Haaland’s impressive performances on the field.

Thousands of Costco workers prepare to strike with midnight contract deadline looming
Thousands of Costco workers prepared to strike with a midnight deadline drawing closer Friday while the worker’s union and the company negotiated.
The Teamsters union represents 18,000 Costco workers in six states: California, Washington, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and New York.
It’s unclear if the strikes would close stores. Costco has 219,000 U.S. employees and 617 U.S. stores. The company said its labor agreement with the Teamsters applies to less than 10% of those stores.
On Jan. 20, Teamsters members at Costco voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike if a new three-year contract agreement wasn’t reached by midnight Friday, when the current contract expires.
Union members say the Issaquah, Washington, company needs to make a contract offer that reflects its sales and profit growth. Costco’s revenue rose 5% to $254 billion in its most recent fiscal year, which ended Sept. 1. The company reported net income of $7.36 billion, double its profit in 2019.
“Costco has two choices: respect the workers who made them a success or face a national strike,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said in a statement. “Costco Teamsters deserve an industry-leading contract that reflects the company’s massive profits. If Costco thinks they can exploit our members while raking in billions, we’ll shut them down.”
Costco said in a statement that it has had a good relationship with the union for several decades and is negotiating in good faith.
“We have always treated our employees fairly and well throughout the history of our company,” Costco said.
Thousands of Costco workers across the country are gearing up for a potential strike as the midnight contract deadline approaches. The workers, represented by the Teamsters union, are demanding better wages, benefits, and working conditions.The looming strike comes after months of negotiations between Costco and the union, with both sides unable to reach a satisfactory agreement. Workers are fed up with what they see as inadequate pay and benefits, especially considering the company’s record profits during the pandemic.
If a deal is not reached by midnight, workers are prepared to walk off the job and picket outside Costco locations nationwide. The strike would undoubtedly disrupt operations and could have a significant impact on the company’s bottom line.
As the deadline draws near, Costco customers and employees alike are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the negotiations. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

Disaster Recovery Planning: How to Prepare for the Unexpected with Data Backup Solutions
In today’s digital age, businesses rely heavily on technology to operate efficiently and effectively. From customer data to financial records, companies store a vast amount of critical information on their computers and servers. However, what happens when disaster strikes and this data is compromised or lost? This is where disaster recovery planning comes into play.Disaster recovery planning is the process of developing a strategy to ensure that an organization can recover and resume its operations in the event of a disaster. This could be anything from a natural disaster like a hurricane or earthquake, to a cyber-attack or data breach. Regardless of the cause, having a solid disaster recovery plan in place is crucial for the survival of any business.
One of the key components of disaster recovery planning is data backup solutions. Data backup involves making copies of important files and storing them in a secure location, either on-site or off-site. This ensures that if the original data is lost or corrupted, it can be easily restored from the backup copies.
There are several different data backup solutions available to businesses, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some common data backup solutions include:
1. Cloud Backup: Cloud backup involves storing data on remote servers maintained by a third-party provider. This offers businesses an off-site backup solution that is secure and easily accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
2. Tape Backup: Tape backup involves storing data on magnetic tapes, which are then stored in a secure location. While tape backup is a cost-effective solution for long-term storage, it can be slow and cumbersome to restore data from tapes.
3. Disk Backup: Disk backup involves storing data on hard drives or solid-state drives. This is a fast and efficient backup solution, but it can be more expensive than other options.
Regardless of the data backup solution you choose, it is important to regularly test your backups to ensure they are working properly. This will help you quickly recover your data in the event of a disaster.
In conclusion, disaster recovery planning is essential for businesses to ensure the continuity of their operations in the event of a disaster. Data backup solutions play a crucial role in disaster recovery planning, as they provide a secure and reliable way to protect critical information. By investing in a robust data backup solution and regularly testing your backups, you can prepare your business for the unexpected and minimize the impact of a disaster.
Disaster Recovery Best Practices: How to Prepare for the Unexpected
Disasters can strike at any moment, whether it be a natural disaster like a hurricane or earthquake, or a man-made disaster like a cyberattack or power outage. As a business owner, it is crucial to have a disaster recovery plan in place to ensure your company can continue to operate in the event of an unexpected crisis.Here are some best practices to help you prepare for the unexpected:
1. Identify potential risks: The first step in preparing for a disaster is to identify the potential risks that your business may face. This could include natural disasters, cybersecurity threats, power outages, or any other events that could disrupt your business operations.
2. Develop a disaster recovery plan: Once you have identified the potential risks, it is important to develop a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. This plan should outline the steps that need to be taken in the event of a disaster, including how to protect your data, how to communicate with employees and customers, and how to resume business operations as quickly as possible.
3. Backup your data: One of the most important aspects of a disaster recovery plan is backing up your data. This could include regularly backing up your files to an external hard drive, using cloud storage services, or implementing a data backup solution. By having multiple copies of your data stored in different locations, you can ensure that your business can quickly recover from a disaster.
4. Test your plan: Once you have developed a disaster recovery plan, it is important to regularly test it to ensure that it is effective. This could involve conducting mock disaster drills, testing your data backup systems, or simulating a cyberattack. By testing your plan regularly, you can identify any weaknesses and make necessary adjustments to improve your readiness for a disaster.
5. Train your employees: In the event of a disaster, your employees will play a crucial role in ensuring the continuity of your business operations. It is important to train your employees on how to respond to a disaster, including how to protect themselves and others, how to communicate with customers and suppliers, and how to implement the steps outlined in your disaster recovery plan.
6. Stay informed: Finally, it is important to stay informed about potential risks and threats that could impact your business. This could involve monitoring weather forecasts, staying up to date on cybersecurity threats, or participating in local emergency preparedness programs. By staying informed, you can proactively prepare for potential disasters and minimize their impact on your business.
In conclusion, preparing for the unexpected is essential for businesses of all sizes. By following these best practices and developing a comprehensive disaster recovery plan, you can ensure that your business is prepared to respond to any crisis that may arise. Remember, it is better to be proactive and prepared than to be caught off guard in the face of a disaster.
Pitt Take 5: Never too early to talk bracketology while Panthers prepare to visit Wake Forest
Pitt reaches the midway point of its ACC schedule Saturday when it ventures into Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C., to meet Wake Forest. Not that it matters, but Pitt is 0-6 there.
Given recent history, it’s difficult to tell which Pitt team will show up:
• The Panthers (14-6, 5-4) who started the season 12-2, won on the road at Syracuse and humbled North Carolina …
• … or the Panthers who were not in the same league with Duke and lost four in a row, including a 12-point decision at Florida State, a loser in three of its next four?
A victory at Wake Forest (No. 69 in the NCAA NET rankings) would only be Pitt’s second against a Quad 1 opponent. The game is important for that reason alone.
Wake Forest (15-6, 7-3) has lost two in a row, so what viewers will get at noon on ESPN2 are two teams desperate for a victory. Meanwhile, some thoughts:
1. Bracket talk
With more than a month left in the regular season, there’s no time like the present for bracketologists Joe Lunardi of ESPN and Jerry Palm of CBS to get to work — as if these guys ever sleep. Lunardi famously releases his first bracket for the following season not long after the national championship in April.
Pitt is a No. 10 seed in both analysts’ most recent projections. Lunardi said it’s Pitt vs. St. John’s and coach Rick Pitino in the round of 64. Palm counters with Pitt vs. UCLA. Wake Forest is a No. 11 seed in the First Four, according to Palm. Lunardi lists them as one of the “Next 4 Out.”
Perhaps the ACC will send only four, five or six teams to the tournament, with Duke on its way to a No. 1 seed, followed by Louisville (the second-best team in the conference). Clemson, Pitt, Wake Forest, SMU and North Carolina are the best of the rest.
2. How good is Wake Forest?
Less than a week ago, Wake Forest looked like No. 2 behind Duke in the ACC. That was after a 63-56 home loss to Duke in which the Demon Deacons were up four with seven minutes to play. It was Wake Forest’s only home loss in 11 games.
“We put ourselves in position to (win),” coach Steve Forbes said. “We just weren’t very effective against the zone. Kudos to them.”
Forbes said he liked the way his team defended Duke’s Cooper Flagg, who still ended up with 24 points. “He’s just that good.”
Three days later, Wake Forest ventured into the Yum! Center in Louisville, fell behind 45-21 at halftime and lost 72-59. But before losing to the ACC’s best teams, Wake Forest won its previous six in a row, including a one-point victory against North Carolina and an 18-point blowout (77-59) of N.C. State.
The consensus around the ACC is that the Demon Deacons play good defense, at least better than last year when they allowed Pitt to score 81 in a conference tournament quarterfinal game.
Wake Forest is second in the ACC in forcing turnovers (14.1 per game), whereas Pitt averages the second-fewest (9.9) — another storyline to watch. Forbes said 6-foot, 170-pound guard Ty-Laur Johnson gets some of the credit. Johnson recorded eight assists and one turnover against Duke.
Hunter Sallis, who was first-team All-ACC last season, will be the shooter atop Pitt’s scouting report. He averages 18.6 points, fifth in the ACC and one point better than the Panthers’ Jaland Lowe.
3. Glass woes
Pitt is not a good rebounding team, and coach Jeff Capel constantly is asked about it. He said the team has done extra work in practice, but he added, “Doesn’t seem like it.”
“We’ve tried to work on it. We’ve emphasized it. We’ll continue to do it, try to find some different things to do. Hopefully, we’re better at it.”
Pitt is one of only five teams in the ACC allowing more rebounds (696) than it gets (689). Wake Forest is one of the others.
4. Iron men
In the victory against North Carolina, Capel went only two deep on his bench, using Guillermo Diaz Graham for 18 minutes and his twin brother Jorge for four. It was the third game in a row that reserves totaled less than 40 minutes.
In the past six, freshmen Brandin Cummings (39 minutes, total), Papa Kante (18) and Amsal Delalic (six) have been used sparingly. Meanwhile, Lowe is second in the ACC (35.7 minutes per game) and Ishmael Leggett (34.7) fourth. Zack Austin and Cam Corhen are averaging 30 and 29.9 minutes.
Can’t blame Capel. Four of the past five games have been decided by four, three, four and eight points. Hello, you play to win the game. Capel was doing what he thought was best to break the losing streak.
“If you get minutes, you have to come in, you have to play well,” Capel said. “It doesn’t mean scoring. Jorge defended the heck out of (North Carolina’s) R.J. Davis. You have to know what we’re doing defensively. You can’t be a guy they just try to pick on. You have to be able to stand up.
“We believe in those guys. We’ll see how the game goes.”
5. Corhen sees all
Corhen, a 6-10 forward, said he is responsible for communicating on defense, making sure everyone is deployed properly. He’s at the back of the alignment, looking forward. So, he sees everything.
“I’m supposed to be the loudest,” he said. “I definitely need to do a better job with that, just make sure everybody can hear me.”
Corhen probably has the best view of Austin’s acrobatics, especially his dunks and blocks that led to victory against North Carolina. He has trouble believing his eyes.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s crazy,” Corhen said. “I’ve played with some athletes, but I don’t think I’ve seen anything like Zack Austin.”

As the college basketball season heats up, it’s never too early to start thinking about bracketology. Pittsburgh fans are eagerly following the Panthers as they prepare to visit Wake Forest, and with their impressive start to the season, it’s time to start considering where they might land in the NCAA tournament.While it’s still early in the season, Pitt has shown promise with key wins and a strong performance in the ACC. With standout players like Justin Champagnie leading the way, the Panthers have the potential to make a deep run in March.
As we look ahead to the tournament, it’s important for Pitt fans to keep an eye on their team’s performance and how they stack up against other top contenders. With a strong showing in conference play and a solid resume, the Panthers could find themselves in a favorable seed come Selection Sunday.
So as we eagerly await the matchup against Wake Forest, let’s start the conversation about Pitt’s bracketology prospects and get ready for an exciting journey to March Madness. Let’s go Panthers! #H2P #Bracketology #MarchMadness.

Tommy Robinson supporters start London march while their hero remains in prison as anti-racism protesters prepare for counter-demo
Thousands of Tommy Robinson supporters have begun marching towards Westminster while a counter-demonstration is also taking place, as the Metropolitan Police deploy more officers to keep the opposing groups apart.
Before setting off from outside Waterloo station, the protestors sang ‘Rule, Britannia!’ and chanted ‘We want Starmer out’.
The protest is organised under the name ‘Stop the Isolation’ or ‘Unite the Kingdom’, with many carrying England and UK flags, with one person holding up a T-shirt with ‘Thank you Elon Musk‘ written on it.
Chants of ‘Oh Tommy, Tommy’ and ‘we want Tommy out’ have been heard being sung at the demonstration in support of Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
While, one protester is carrying a flag with ‘Free Tommy Robinson’ written on it with others are wearing face masks of the political activist.
Robinson was sentenced to 18 months in prison in October after the Solicitor General took legal action against him for breaching a High Court injunction made in 2021.
He admitted 10 breaches of the order, which barred him from repeating libellous allegations against a Syrian refugee.
A ‘Stop the Boats’ flag is being carried by one protester, with another flag reading ‘Britain lost a patriot – RIP Peter Lynch’.

Some protesters were wearing ‘MEGA – Make England Great Again’ hats and others have ‘I am Tommy’ stickers.
Protesters will march to Whitehall via Westminster Bridge and assemble in Parliament Street, at the Parliament Square end of Whitehall.
Meanwhile, a protest organised by Stand Up To Racism has started at St James’s Street, south of Piccadilly Circus.
Protesters will march to Whitehall via Piccadilly Circus and Haymarket before a rally at the Trafalgar Square end of Whitehall.
Signs are being held by protesters up reading ‘Oppose Tommy Robinson’ and ‘Stop the far right’ as speeches are being made to the crowd.
Pedestrian access in the middle of Whitehall will be restricted, and officers will be deployed to keep the groups apart, the Met said.
Anyone in the area not involved in the protests is encouraged to use other routes to go from Trafalgar Square to Parliament Square, or vice versa, the force added.
Posting on X, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said: ‘The Stand Up To Racism protest has set off from St James’s Street, heading to Whitehall via Haymarket.

Another sign reads: ‘When will the government act for the British public’
‘The Stop the Isolation protest has set off from Waterloo, heading to Whitehall via Westminster Bridge.’
A post from the force at 12.35pm said ‘there have been no incidents so far’.
Organisers of the protest in support of Robinson posted on X, formerly Twitter, saying: ‘We will proceed to Downing Street. Stand against the isolation of Tommy Robinson.
‘Deliver our message to the establishment.’
Weyman Bennett, Stand Up To Racism co-convenor, said: ‘We saw the power of mobilising against the far-right in response to last summer’s racist riots.
‘We must bring that anti-racist spirit onto the streets of London and reject the politics of hate.’
Commander Louise Puddefoot, in charge of the policing operation, said: ‘We are well prepared for these protests, having been in discussions with both sets of organisers in recent weeks.
‘We have officers deployed in significant numbers to provide reassurance to the wider community, and to give us the capability to intervene swiftly and decisively if incidents of crime or disorder occur.

Weyman Bennett, Stand Up To Racism co-convenor, said: ‘We must bring that anti-racist spirit onto the streets of London and reject the politics of hate’
‘Decisions on our policing style at protests, including the types of uniform worn by officers and the protective equipment available to them, are taken on a case-by-case basis. It allows us to be ready to respond quickly and decisively where we need to.
‘Our assessment for tomorrow’s protest, based on the information available to us, is that an additional level of preparedness is required.
‘What our officers are wearing or the protective kit they are carrying doesn’t change their role at these events.
‘They are there to ensure all involved can exercise their right to protest peacefully, without causing serious disruption to the life of the wider community and without risking the disorder that could take place if groups with opposing views come together.’
Tommy Robinson supporters take to the streets of London in a show of solidarity for their imprisoned hero, while anti-racism protesters gear up for a counter-demonstration.Despite Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, being behind bars, his loyal supporters have organized a march through the streets of London to demand his release. Robinson, a far-right political activist and former leader of the English Defence League, was jailed for contempt of court in July.
Meanwhile, anti-racism activists are preparing to hold a counter-demo to oppose Robinson’s message of hate and intolerance. They argue that his rhetoric only serves to fuel division and promote discrimination against minority communities.
The clash between the two groups is expected to draw a large police presence, as tensions run high in the capital. The demonstration comes at a time of heightened political and social unrest, with issues of race and identity dominating public discourse.
As the two sides prepare to face off in the streets of London, the city braces for potential clashes and unrest. The outcome of the dueling protests remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the debate over Tommy Robinson and his divisive ideology shows no signs of slowing down.

How to Prepare for and Respond to Natural Disasters: A Guide to Disaster Recovery
Natural disasters can strike at any time, leaving devastation in their wake. From hurricanes and tornadoes to earthquakes and wildfires, these events can cause widespread destruction and disrupt lives in an instant. While it may be impossible to prevent natural disasters from occurring, there are steps you can take to prepare for and respond to them effectively. Here is a guide to disaster recovery that will help you stay safe and minimize the impact of natural disasters on your life.1. Develop a Disaster Preparedness Plan
The first step in preparing for natural disasters is to develop a comprehensive disaster preparedness plan. This plan should include information on how to evacuate your home safely, where to go for shelter, and how to communicate with loved ones in case of an emergency. Make sure to include important contact information for emergency services, as well as a list of essential items to pack in an emergency kit.
2. Create an Emergency Kit
An emergency kit is a crucial component of any disaster preparedness plan. This kit should contain essential items such as food, water, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, and a portable radio. Make sure to store your emergency kit in a secure, easily accessible location so that you can grab it quickly in the event of an emergency.
3. Stay Informed
Stay informed about potential natural disasters in your area by monitoring local news and weather reports. Sign up for emergency alerts from your local government or emergency management agency to receive timely updates about severe weather events and other potential disasters. Knowing about an impending disaster ahead of time can give you the necessary time to prepare and evacuate if needed.
4. Evacuate When Necessary
If authorities issue an evacuation order in your area, it is crucial that you follow their instructions and evacuate immediately. Do not wait until the last minute to leave, as doing so can put your life at risk. Remember that your safety is the most important priority during a natural disaster, and it is better to evacuate early than to stay and risk being trapped by dangerous conditions.
5. Assess the Damage
After a natural disaster has passed, it is important to assess the damage to your property and belongings. Take photos of any damage for insurance purposes and make a list of items that have been lost or destroyed. Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to begin the claims process and get assistance with repairs and replacements.
6. Seek Support
Natural disasters can be traumatic events that leave lasting emotional and psychological effects on survivors. If you are struggling to cope with the aftermath of a disaster, do not hesitate to seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals. Talking about your experiences and emotions can help you process the trauma and begin the healing process.
In conclusion, preparing for and responding to natural disasters requires careful planning and quick action. By developing a disaster preparedness plan, creating an emergency kit, staying informed, evacuating when necessary, assessing the damage, and seeking support, you can stay safe and recover from the effects of a natural disaster more effectively. Remember that you are not alone in facing these challenges, and there are resources available to help you through this difficult time. Stay safe and be prepared for whatever Mother Nature may throw your way.
Carlo Ancelotti bemoans Real Madrid schedule: ‘No time to prepare’
Carlo Ancelotti said Real Madrid will have no time to prepare for their Champions League knockout phase playoffs, blaming the club’s hectic fixture list this month.
Madrid’s disappointing league phase campaign saw them beaten by Lille, AC Milan and Liverpool — before recovering to win their last three games — meaning they failed to finish in the top eight and therefore qualify directly for the round of 16.
Instead, they face two playoff games against Manchester City this month, adding to an already busy calendar.
“There’s no preparation when you play every three days,” Ancelotti said in a news conference on Friday, ahead of Madrid’s match at Espanyol in LaLiga. “There’s no preparation. There’s recovery, videos, game, recovery, videos, game, for 40 days … We’ll need to rotate to have the players ready. We’ll need the entire squad at this stage of the season.”
After the Espanyol game, Madrid face Leganés in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, before a derby with Atletico Madrid in LaLiga.
They will then play the first leg of their Champions League playoff, before visiting Osasuna in the league, the Champions League second leg, and then another LaLiga game at Girona, followed by a possible Copa del Rey semifinal.
“Nothing changes,” Ancelotti said, when asked how the two extra playoff games had affected his planning. “In a perfect world, we wouldn’t play them, but we weren’t able to get into the top eight, and that’s OK. Playing two more or fewer games doesn’t matter … we have the resources to deal with it.”
Madrid forward Rodrygo was the latest player to attract interest from the Saudi Pro League this week, with Al Hilal making contact with the Brazil international’s representatives.
Rodrygo has been a key player for Madrid in recent weeks, scoring seven goals in January including two Champions League braces against Salzburg and Brest.
“It’s hard to talk about the future of players, because they’re personal decisions,” Ancelotti said, when asked about Rodrygo. “What I see is that the players here are happy to be here and want to stay here, they want to win trophies. After that, what each thinks, I don’t know … There are a lot of players who want to be in Rodrygo’s or Vinícius‘ place, and wear this shirt.”
Ancelotti wouldn’t confirm that Madrid will not add to their squad before the Spanish transfer window closes on Monday, and welcomed the return to the team of Vinícius after his two-game ban in LaLiga.
“He’s aware of what he has to do on the pitch,” Ancelotti said, when asked if Vinícius should try harder to avoid being booked. “He’s a mature person, and we’re delighted he can come back. He’s trained well, he’s fresh and can bring a lot to the team tomorrow.”
Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Real Madrid, has expressed his frustration over the team’s hectic schedule, stating that they have “no time to prepare” for their upcoming matches.In a press conference following a recent match, Ancelotti highlighted the challenges that the team is facing due to the congested fixture list. “We are playing every few days and it’s difficult to have enough time to train and prepare properly for each game,” he said.
Real Madrid is currently competing in multiple competitions, including La Liga, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey. The team’s busy schedule has left little room for rest and recovery, making it difficult for Ancelotti to implement his tactical plans and work on improving the team’s performance.
Despite the challenges, Ancelotti remains optimistic and is focused on finding ways to navigate through the demanding schedule. “We need to adapt and find the right balance between rest and training to ensure that we are ready for every match,” he added.
As Real Madrid continues to juggle multiple competitions, Ancelotti’s concerns highlight the importance of proper preparation and recovery in maintaining the team’s performance at the highest level.

TMZ interviewed the “Vanderpump Rules” alum and his better half about their work with the L.A. dog shelters that are trying to facilitate adoptions so they can make way for displaced pooches affected by the devastating fires.
Tom and Victoria — a lifelong animal lover — tell us their cute 8-week-old canine named Milo might be a handful … but he’s worth the trouble because he’s brought them closer together.
The dynamic duo also agree that caring for Milo is great practice for them because they “both want to be parents.” Sounds like their relationship is pretty serious and there might be some little Sandovals running around soon.
As for who the dog likes better, Milo seems to be more Team Victoria than Team Tom … at least according to Victoria who says the pup prefers to cuddle with her. Sorry Sandoval.

Here’s the back story … Victoria — a Maxim cover model — and Tom began fostering Milo while volunteering with Laura Labelle and her L.A.-based Labelle Foundation … a nonprofit organization that’s been a main player in finding homes for canines as shelters are inundated with pups due to the wildfires.
Labelle tells TMZ … the couple is playing an essential part in raising awareness about their efforts and has even helped some dogs get adopted. Paw-some job!
Tom Sandoval and Victoria Lee Robinson are preparing for their future family in a unique way – by fostering a dog!

Love Island All Stars reveals TWO new bombshells: Sammy Root and Danielle Sellers prepare to shake things up as THREE Islanders get the boot in shock mass dumping
Two new bombshells are set to arrive in the villa during Wednesday night’s Love Island All Stars.
Sammy Root, 23, and Danielle Sellers, 29, will spice things up after Kaz Crossley, Montel McKenzie and Nas Majeed were all sent home on Tuesday in a shock mass dumping.
Series 10 contestant Sammy, who stars on TOWIE, will enter the South African villa on Wednesday’s episode and immediately ruffle feathers.
Sammy bagged the cash prize after winning the series alongside Jess Harding but called off their romance soon after they returned home.
Speaking about his fresh chance at love, Sammy explained: ‘It did work out for me the first time, but things changed when I left the Villa. Hopefully this time round, I’ll leave with a relationship that goes the distance.
‘Last time I was very much a boy and was immature at times in terms of not thinking about my actions beforehand.

‘Now looking back, I feel like I’ve changed a lot and I’d like to think I’ve grown from a boy to a gentleman.’
Danielle, who appeared in series three, is looking to find the man of her dreams as she returns.
After appearing on the show as a bombshell in Casa Amor last time, Danielle is hoping she finds more luck this time round.
She said: ‘I was a lot younger going in the first time, I was 21!
‘I entered during Casa Amor and lots of the boys were in strong couples! 8 years on, I’m older and know what I want, so I’m going to just go for it!’
During the episode, Maya Jama revealed that the public have been voting for their favourite Islanders and the two boys and one girl with the fewest votes will be packing their bags.
It’s the biggest dump of the series yet and the three evictees have already left the villa.
Things get off to an encouraging start in the next instalment of the ITV series when Curtis Pritchard, 28, receives a very pleasant invitation.

The afternoon out acted as the trigger for various couples to have some very serious conversations, including Harriet Blackmore, 24, who opted against recoupling with her ex Ronnie Vint, 28, after she entered the island as a bombshell last week.
They got together last year during the 11th series of the hit show but things fizzled out for the pair with allegations of cheating being made.
Harriet looks to set the record straight, telling the footballer: ‘I feel like we haven’t actually spoken about the reason we finished on the outside. Everyone’s asking me, I need to speak about it with you…you pretty much cheated on me.’
But the deep chats are cut short on Maya’s arrival, as the glamorous host said: ‘Sorry to crash the party…can you all line up in front of me please?’
She added: ‘Islanders I’m glad you’ve been having a bit of fun, but things are obviously about to get serious. The public have been voting for their favourite girl and their favourite boy.’
Elsewhere, the Hideaway Retreat opened up to the show’s stars for the first time this year, but only two lucky contestants got to spend the night there.
Kaz Crossley, 30, received the exciting news by text, reading: ‘Islanders, tonight the Hideaway Retreat is open. Please choose a lucky couple to spend the night together #DND #AloneAtLast’

The group decide that Dawn Allen, 32, and Casey O’Gorman, 28, deserved a chance to get closer to one another in the Hideaway and the pair soon get ready to head off.
Casey told the boys, ‘The nerves are kicking in!’, whilst Gabby revealed to the girls, ‘I’m so excited.’
They arrive at the Hideaway to a bottle of bubbles and chocolate-covered strawberries. As they relax in bed, Gabby joked to Casey: ‘I wish you had your speedos on, that’s when you’re at your best self!’
The next day Casey told Nas Majeed, 28, and Curtis: ‘Not to blow my own trumpet but best night of my whole entire Love Island career!’
On Monday evening Ronnie was left doubting a potential future with Harriett after hearing a comment from fellow islander Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Moments earlier Ronnie appeared to patch things up with his former girlfriend as they shared a kiss in the villa’s secret garden – during which he played his ace card.
‘I thought I’d take you away from the dramas and come here… I brought your best mate with me,’ he told her.
Ronnie revealed he’d hidden her toy bunny Flopsy in the garden as a kind gesture, adding: ‘It’s just us three, I’ve missed you both.’

He added: ‘I just have always loved you and I wanna act on it now and do it the right way… different to last time.’
Concerned about his connection to fellow contestant Elma Pazar, 32, a dubious Harriett replied: ‘Do you think you can still do that with Elma here cause I know that maybe you didn’t handle the situation the best…’
Ronnie cut in: ‘The way I feel about you, I couldn’t hide that or lie.’
