Football: Emery confirms Ramsey has played last Arsenal game

LONDON (AFP) - Unai Emery confirmed on Wednesday (May 1) that injured Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey has made his last appearance for Arsenal ahead of his move to Juventus Ramsey has already agreed to make a lucrative switch to Italian champion Juventus when his Arsenal contract expires at the end of the season.
The 28-year-old suffered a hamstring injury during the second leg of Arsenal's Europa League quarter-final victory over Napoli and has now been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Emery's side host Valencia in the Europa League semi-final first leg on Thursday, having lost all three games without Ramsey since he was forced off in Naples.
But, even if Arsenal reach the final on May 29, Emery conceded the game would come too quickly for Ramsey to be involved.
Asked if there was any chance of Ramsey playing one last game for Arsenal, Emery told reporters on Wednesday: "At the moment we are only in the semi-final, and secondly the prognosis is not okay for this date.
"He is important for us. We cannot use him and the danger is always there for a forward player like that.
"We have players who can play in that position, but he was in a good moment when he had this injury.
"For me it was a good experience to work with every player and with him especially, because he can transmit his energy and he showed me his heart is red with Arsenal.
"I wanted to enjoy with him. I said to him one month ago that I wanted to do something important in his last matches with us at the moment - maybe he can come back in the future."

'SO IMPORTANT'

Ramsey, who won three FA Cups with Arsenal, is expected to be fit in time to start pre-season with Juventus, but his absence is a blow to the Gunners' bid to qualify for next season's Champions League either by winning the Europa League or finishing in the Premier League's top four.
Arsenal are planning to hold a guard of honour for both the midfielder and team-mate retiring goalkeeper Petr Cech after Sunday's match against Brighton at the Emirates Stadium - their final Premier League home game of the season.
Laurent Koscielny has played alongside Ramsey since joining from Lorient in 2010 and, in a jibe at previous Arsenal players who have left the club during that time, the Gunners defender hailed his team-mate's attitude since his move to Juventus was announced.
"Of course he played so may years here, so important for the club and the players because every season we start the season and we have new players, and I think he gives a lot for the adaptation of the new players," he said.
"What I like about Aaron is that, we know he signs for Juventus, but he is still a professional and always fights for the club and for the team.
"Sometimes you have players who have stopped fighting for this team, but I think he has loved this club and that is why he stayed at 100 per cent for us. It shows a great mentality and character."
Mesut Ozil is in the squad for Thursday's clash with Valencia after missing the 3-0 weekend defeat at Leicester with a bruised foot, while Nacho Monreal also trained following a groin injury.

Football: Brighton hold Arsenal to stop losing run

LONDON (REUTERS) - Brighton & Hove Albion came from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday (Dec 26) and arrest a run of three straight defeats.
Their poor run looked like continuing as Arsenal took the lead after seven minutes, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang producing a fine side-foot finish wide in the box for his 13th league goal of the season.
However, the Gunners have only kept three clean sheets in 19 league games and were pegged back just after the half hour mark.
A long ball up the field came off the head of Stephan Lichtsteiner and fell to Jurgen Locadia who had sprinted up the pitch and did well to poke it past Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
Brighton midfielder Davy Propper headed just wide shortly after halftime, while Solly March later got on the end of another long ball but his attempted lob went well over the bar.
Arsenal pressed for a late winner in stoppage time but were unable to break forward in enough numbers to breach Brighton's steadfast defence.
Unai Emery's side climbed into the top four, albeit briefly as fifth placed Chelsea, behind by only one point, take on Watford later on Wednesday.
"I'm a little disappointed. I think the first half was key in the match. We started winning and had another two chances, and they saved from Aubameyang," Emery said.
"We didn't concede (many) chances for them but they drew level. Second half we could not impose our game plan. We did not make more clear chances to win the match."
Brighton remain 13th in the table but manager Chris Hughton felt the win had been his side's for the taking.
"After a difficult start and going behind against a good team, we showed great character to get back in the game," he told Sky Sports.
"I thought in the second half if there was a team going to score it was us, we were a bigger threat, Solly March probably has the best chance of the game."

Football: Giroud demands important role at Chelsea next season

LONDON (REUTERS) - Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud said he has been approached by other clubs to play for them next season but wants to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge if manager Maurizio Sarri can offer regular first-team opportunities.
Giroud, who is the top scorer in the Europa League with nine goals, is out of contract at the end of the campaign, although Chelsea have an option to extend it for another 12 months.
The 32-year-old Frenchman has started just seven Premier League games this season and has seen limited opportunities since the arrival of Argentina international striker Gonzalo Higuain in January.
"Trust me I'm very frustrated when I'm not on the pitch, but I just don't want to show it," Giroud told a news conference ahead Chelsea's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Slavia Prague on Thursday.
"You need to keep that frustration for you. And transform that into positive energy on the pitch.
"I'm not happy to play the second role. That's why I said next year I will need to have a more important role to play in the team."
When asked whether he has already had offers to go elsewhere, Giroud added: "Yes but I won't tell you. The priority is Chelsea.
"With what I've achieved here, there is no reason they won't give me one more year. But I need to be happy, also."
Chelsea hold a 1-0 advantage over Slavia from the away leg, courtesy a late headed goal by defender Marcos Alonso.
They will be without defender Antonio Rudiger, who limped out of Sunday's 2-0 league defeat against Liverpool at Anfield with a knee injury.
However, Chelsea's assistant coach Gianfranco Zola expects the German international to return for the league trip to top-four rivals Manchester United on April 28.
"It looks not as bad as we thought, luckily. When he came off limping, we were worried," Zola said.
"Yes, there is a strong possibility that we see him (against United). He's a warrior and won't want to miss a game like that. The next few days will be very important to see if he can continue recovering."

Football: Sissoko unaware Tottenham had advanced to Champions League semis after Sterling goal disallowed

(REUTERS) - Tottenham Hotspur's Moussa Sissoko did not realise his side had advanced to the Champions League semi-finals until a member of the coaching staff informed him in the dressing room that Manchester City's last-gasp goal had been disallowed.
With City leading 4-3 and the aggregate score reading 4-4 in favour of Tottenham on away goals, Raheem Sterling's stoppage-time goal sparked wild celebrations at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday (April 17) night, before it was overruled when the Video Assistant Referee adjudged Sergio Aguero offside in the build-up.
Sissoko, who was replaced in the first half after he picked up an injury, was so distraught after Sterling scored that he immediately walked down the tunnel to the dressing room and did not realise that the goal had been disallowed a minute later.
"I was on the bench when I saw the goal that made it 5-3," Sissoko told French sports newspaper L'Equipe. "I was so upset that I returned directly to the dressing room.
"I was alone, no one had accompanied me, no TV screen was broadcasting the game. In my head we were eliminated. Then one of the staff members entered the dressing room and told me: 'Incredible, we did it!'.
"I said: 'How did we do it?' At that moment, he told me that the goal had been disallowed.
"So I put on a T-shirt, I forgot about my injury and I ran outside to join the others, not to miss the celebrations for such a historic moment. It was an incredible, emotional shock."
The result ensured Tottenham, who last made the European Cup semi-finals in 1962, reached the last four for the first time since the creation of the Champions League. They will face Dutch side Ajax Amsterdam with the first leg in London on April 30.

Real the same team even without Ronaldo: Ramos

ABU DHABI â€¢ Real Madrid will bid to win their third straight Fifa Club World Cup when they take on Asian champions Kashima Antlers in the semi-finals at the United Arab Emirates' Zayed Sports City Stadium today.
The key difference from their previous three triumphs in 2014, 2016 and last year is that they will have to cope without the effervescent Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese forward, who joined Juventus in the summer, scored the winner in last year's final against Brazilian side Gremio.
He was also the star in the 2016 final against Kashima, netting a hat-trick in the 4-2 extra-time victory.
The Spanish giants have struggled without him this season, and have also sacked Julen Lopetegui in October and replaced him with current manager Santiago Solari.
The new man at the helm is also under pressure after Real were stunned 3-0 by Russian side CSKA Moscow in the Champions League last week - their biggest home defeat in Europe.
But Real captain Sergio Ramos is confident that his side can still win their fourth Club World Cup title without their former talisman.
"I think on the pitch, there won't be much difference (to previous years), despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was a key player for us. We're going to compete with the club's same philosophy as always: to win," he said.
"We have good memories in this competition because we've had success in the past. It's a short competition and there's no room for mistakes. There's a semi-final and then the final... And we want to take the Cup home to Madrid."
If Real beat the Asian Football Confederation Champions League winners, they will face either South American champions River Plate or UAE side Al-Ain in Saturday's final. The two sides played the first semi-final early this morning (Singapore time).
Kashima are determined to make amends for their heartbreaking extra-time loss to Real on home soil two years ago.
"Last time in Japan, in the 2016 final, we made a great impact on a lot of people," said Kashima manager Go Oiwa, who was assistant to Masatada Ishii in the 2016 final.
"Against Madrid we really wanted to win, that's how we thought. Yes we lost, it was disappointing, but we now have a stage to show our disappointment.
"This match is going to get a lot of attention. We will try to play aggressively and show our own game from the beginning against Real.
"That's how we feel as we try to take the challenge to Real."

Football: Jurgen Klopp keen to fulfil title vow

LONDON â€¢ To fulfil his promise of delivering a title to Liverpool inside four years, Jurgen Klopp would have to deliver the Premier League or Champions League trophy this season.
His team have come close thrice to the vow that the German made at his unveiling as Reds manager in October 2015, declaring: "If we sit here in four years, we win one title."
After losing finals in the 2016 League Cup and Europa League, and the 2018 Champions League, many are sensing Klopp will finally meet the deadline, with two golden opportunities for silverware.
Liverpool (85 points), who will take on Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, can retake the Premier League lead from Manchester City (86) with a win at Cardiff today.
Ahead of their trip to Wales, Klopp admitted his four-year promise had been regularly brought up as a topic of discussion of late.
Despite being reluctant to set any more time frames for success, he believes his seven-year deal should be sufficient to complete his restoration job at Anfield as Liverpool seek to return to the top of the perch.
At his pre-match media conference, he said: "It should be enough time. A lot of people have reminded me, when I came here and signed a four-year contract, that (I said) in four years, we probably would have won something.

GETTING THERE
The position we are now in, I am really happy with. Not that it is the final position we want to be, but the awareness from outside of the club of where we are, second time (in a row) in the Champions League semi-finals, that is really special.
JURGEN KLOPP, Liverpool manager, on the progress the club have made this season.

"It didn't happen yet. Both sides, the club and myself, have a wonderful commitment that we really try everything to make the club as successful as possible. How long it will take I have no clue.
"The position we are now in, I am really happy with. Not that it is the final position we want to be, but the awareness from outside of the club of where we are, second time (in a row) in the Champions League semi-finals, that is really special.
"(But) it is not where we want to be at the end. We want to improve."
A trophy will certainly cap his team's improvement this campaign and the Reds boss is confident his team have the stamina to compete on both fronts, with four league games left and two in Europe, which will extend to three, should they make the June 1 final in Madrid.
Declaring his players are "not tired", he said: "We are still in the Champions League and title race. Because of another very strong team (Man City) in the Premier League, we have to win all our games, and the Champions League is like this anyway.
"Nothing has changed since July - we are in it, and now we want to win it. Barcelona? Before then, it is Cardiff and Huddersfield, and that's exactly the same importance to us than the game after that."
With Cardiff aiming to build on last Tuesday's victory over relegation rivals Brighton, Klopp is wary of underestimating the Bluebirds.
Warning his players "to be careful of counter-attacks and each set piece will be a scoring opportunity for Cardiff", the German added: "They are now in a good moment. Lots thought they were done a couple of weeks ago."

Football: Arsenal's Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech to retire at end of English Premier League season

LONDON (REUTERS) - Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech announced on Tuesday (Jan 15) his retirement at the end of the English Premier League season after 20 years as a professional and winning everything in club football.
One of the world's great goalkeepers, the 36-year-old joined the Gunners from London rivals Chelsea in 2015 and holds several Premier League records, including the most clean sheets (202 in 443 appearances).
"It has been 20 years since I signed my first professional contract, so it feels like the right time to announce that I will retire at the end of this season," the Czech said on Twitter.
"Having played 15 years in the Premier League, and won every single trophy possible, I feel like I have achieved everything I set out to achieve," he added.
"I will continue to work hard at Arsenal to hopefully win one more trophy this season, then I am looking forward to seeing what life holds for me off the pitch."
Cech started the season as Arsenal manager Unai Emery's first choice but lost out to new signing Bernd Leno after he suffered a hamstring injury in September.
The four-time Premier League Golden Glove winner has been restricted to Cup appearances since his return.
Cech joined Chelsea from French side Rennes in July 2004 and helped them win four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups, the Uefa Champions League and Europa League.
He also suffered a fractured skull while playing against Reading in 2006, leading to the tall Czech wearing protective headgear.
With Arsenal, Cech has won another FA Cup and two Community Shields.
Cech kept a total of 228 clean sheets with Chelsea in all competitions, before he fell behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order.
He still holds the Premier League record for most clean sheets in a season (24) and went 1,024 minutes without conceding in 2004-05, a benchmark that has since been surpassed. He was capped 124 times by his country and played in the 2006 World Cup.
The North Londoners are fifth in the Premier League, ahead of United on goal difference but 16 points adrift of leaders Liverpool.
Arsenal remain in contention for the FA Cup, although they host in-form Manchester United in the fourth round on Jan 25, and the Europa League.
"For your consummate professionalism, for being the perfect role model, for the 50 clean sheets, for your honesty, your integrity and for your inspiring work with @AFC-Foundation, we want to say... thank you @PetrCech," Arsenal said on Twitter.

Chelsea also paid tribute to their former goalkeeper, tweeting: "There's only 1 @PetrCech! Thanks for the memories! A champion on and off the pitch. Enjoy your retirement, @PetrCech!"

Paine delighted with Aussie grit in second Test victory

PERTH â€¢ Australia captain Tim Paine yesterday praised his emerging team for finding a hard-nosed identity appropriate for their reformed demeanour after a 146-run victory against India in the "bruising" second Test.
Having set the visitors a daunting 287 runs to win on the Perth Stadium pitch, Australia dismissed top-ranked India for 140 midway through the first session on the final day to level the four-match series.
After losing the series opener in Adelaide by 31 runs, the hosts held the upper hand throughout to secure Paine's first win as skipper in his fifth match at the helm.
He told reporters: "Really happy with the competitive, hard style we played. We're slowly building into our style of cricket.
"We stuck to our guns and delivered skill under pressure, and managed to keep ahead in the game."
His side's on-field behaviour was under the microscope in the aftermath of the damaging ball-tampering scandal in March and they have opted for a staid approach since.
In a tension-filled second Test, Paine heatedly clashed with counterpart Virat Kohli on several occasions, conjuring images of previous fiery contests between the teams.
But the wicketkeeper felt Australia had struck the right balance, insisting he was right to "draw a line, and stick up for yourself and teammates".
He said: "We talk about playing on skill and not emotion. We know our best cricket is played when we put emotion aside, (but) we aren't going to sit back and be walked all over."
The 34-year-old also hailed their well-rounded performance, which started with a 112-run opening stand between Marcus Harris and Aaron Finch on the opening morning, laying the platform for a first innings total of 326 - the highest of a low-scoring match.
"As a group, we're relieved, it's been hard work. It's been a bruising test match," Paine added.
"To get a win like that against the No. 1 Test team is going to give us a huge boost of confidence."
The series now shifts to the traditional Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground followed by the finale in Sydney on Jan 3.

Solskjaer stays upbeat despite United wobble

LONDON â€¢ Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that Manchester United were the architects of their "own downfall" after they were beaten by Wolves for the second time in three weeks.
Tuesday's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Molineux in which Ashley Young was sent off for two bookable offences means United have little margin for error if they are to finish in the top four.
Scott McTominay gave the away side an early lead - his first for the club - but Diogo Jota equalised after a mistake by Fred before Chris Smalling scored an own goal to inflict Solskjaer's first defeat since he was appointed on a full-time basis.
While the Norwegian had no complaints about referee Mike Dean's decision to send off Young just before the hour mark, he was frustrated that his players failed to convert more of their chances.
He said: "A very good start, we should have been three up. It was a very good performance until they scored the second goal.
"But for their goalkeeper, we should have won. That's football for you and that's why it's the game we all love, it's not like maths."
Asked whether the wobble - United have picked up three points out of a possible nine - means things are "resetting" at Old Trafford after an excellent initial impact, Solskjaer claimed he could not "control the result".

3

Points won by Manchester United out of a possible nine in their last three Premier League matches.

He added: "We don't look at it as that. We can control what we do on the pitch performance-wise, and we've played well enough tonight.
"So I don't think there is any kickback. I was very pleased with the chances and the intent."
The result means the Red Devils remain fifth, and two points behind Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
They still need to face league champions Manchester City and Chelsea at home, while Luke Shaw will be suspended for their next two games after collecting his 10th yellow card of the campaign.
However, Solskjaer insisted he was still "confident" and that "it is going to be difficult for anybody who plays against us".
The 46-year-old, who revealed he had an eye on the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona next Wednesday, added: "Now we need 15 (points) from the last six (matches), so we don't have room for many more losses.
"It is a difficult run, but then we are a very good team as well.
"We will use one or two days to analyse and recover, and then we will prepare for Barcelona, which will be a fantastic challenge."
Separately, Fulham became the second club to be relegated after a 4-1 loss at Watford on Tuesday.
Despite splurging over Â£100 million (S$177.9 million) on players since winning promotion last year, it has been a wretched term for the Cottagers, who have the league's worst defensive record, shipping 76 goals in 33 games.
Owner Shahid Khan yesterday apologised to the fans for the debacle before stating that the club's hierarchy "hold ourselves accountable".

Football: Diehard Malaysian fans sell prized memorabilia to fund trip for AFF Suzuki Cup final against Vietnam

HANOI (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Two die-hard Malaysian fans sold their prized Ultras Malaya memorabilia to fund their trip to Hanoi to watch the return leg of the AFF Suzuki Cup final between Malaysia and Vietnam.
Sallehuddin Mohd Rabani, 35, said he saved some money for the trip by selling his shoes and mufflers used during match days in Malaysia.
"Those memorabilia are really good memories to me. Selling them was painful but I badly wanted to watch Malaysia play in the final in Hanoi," he said, adding that Hanoi was his second away trip for the AFF Suzuki Cup.
In the first leg final on Tuesday (Dec 11), Malaysia came from behind to draw 2-2 with Vietnam atÂ the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
Having followed Ultras Malaya since 2010, the technician from Shah Alam said the memorabilia, such as muffers which costÂ RM200 (S$66), were worth their money because they were limited editions.
"Four years ago, I could not go to Thailand to watch the first leg final in Rajamangala. This year, I told myself I did not want to miss the final match," he said.
Auditor Shahrul Izuan Abdul Kahar, 30, said Ultras Malaya have brought a new culture to Malaysian football and has brought the term "12th man" to a whole new level.

Â
Â
Â
"I used to watch the game like a normal fan but I wanted to be part of Ultras when I saw how spirited they were. Now, I'm with them for every game day in Malaysia. I have been with them since 2012.
"With the Ultras, the atmosphere is different. When we were trailing 0-2 to Vietnam in the first leg, we continued to cheer them on.
"They felt our presence and fought back to draw against Vietnam. We can make the players play better because we motivate them instead of insulting them."
Shahrul too had to sell his memorabilia because he could not save from his salary due to other commitments.
"I had to make sacrifice to here in Hanoi. To me, as long as I get to see Malaysia, I'm happy. Win or lose, I don't care. We're here just to support.
Sallehuddin and Shahrul were part of hundreds of hardcore Malaysian football fans who boarded a special chartered flight to Hanoi by AirAsia on Friday.
AirAsia arranged two return flights for fans.
In total, 345 seats were sold for both flights.

Football: Solskjaer reminds Manchester United they will have to wait for next Premier League title

MANCHESTER (AFP) - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted on Tuesday (April 23) that Manchester United will not be capable of competing for the English Premier League title next season in a stark assessment of the current gulf between his side and Wednesday's opponents Manchester City.
United take on City at Old Trafford 22 points behind the reigning champions and 24 adrift of leaders Liverpool, despite coach Solskjaer initially going a dozen league games unbeaten after succeeding the sacked Jose Mourinho.
Last weekend's 4-0 hammering at Everton was the third defeat in their five matches since and the 46-year-old called for patience when asked if he thought his squad was capable of competing for the title next season.
"I don't think we've got the consistency to do that," said the former United striker.
"Over the last 18 games, we're not far away from them but it's doing it over the course of a season.
"We've done it for half a season now. Let's see. You can never say never."

'Realistic'

United were last crowned champions in 2013, and Solskjaer added: "You cannot expect things to happen overnight and we know that. It will happen gradually and we have to be realistic enough as a club that we have to take it step by step.
"That's not changing 10 players now and bringing 10 players in. It's slowly, slowly but surely.
"It has to be the right quality, right personality, the right standards to get us back to where we want to be."
Solskjaer has often spoken at length of the need for his players to take personal pride in playing for one of the world's biggest clubs, and following their recent rotten run of six defeats in eight matches in all competitions, he also said that the pain of falling behind United's two major local rivals was acute.
"For me, the motivation is towards something, to win something yourself," he said.
"We have to want to overtake them, not because it's City and Liverpool. But of course because it's City and Liverpool, for a supporter as I am, and as a manager now as well, because they're so close in the vicinity as well, we want to be the best.
"We have been the best, and it's not nice seeing those two at the top," he admitted.
Solskjaer's emotional post-match response at Goodison Park saw him warn some of his under-performing stars that they will not be at the club long-term.
"I think now is not the time to make drastic changes, but of course we do plan ahead... we know who we want to bring with us," he said.
"There are many of these players who will stay at the club for so many years and be successful, and I'm going to do everything I can to be successful and hopefully these players can come out with a response the next four games.
"But we're still planning long term, and that's just natural. That's the cycle of a team, that it changes."

LONDON (AP) — Chelsea secured a top-four spot in the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Watford on Sunday after two goals in a three-minute span helped the club to clinch a return to the Champions League. The win, coupled with Arsenal and Manchester United both being held to 1-1 draws, means

Eriksen demands strong finish

LONDON â€¢ Tottenham have rediscovered the winning feeling just as their top-four rivals have faltered and victory against West Ham today would be a huge step towards Champions League qualification.
Mauricio Pochettino's men, in third place, have won three of their past four Premier League games and their tally of 70 points puts them three ahead of Chelsea and four clear of Arsenal.
Manchester United are a further two points adrift in sixth.
Christian Eriksen's late winner against Brighton in midweek was the seventh time they have found a winner in the 80th minute or later this season, showing an impressive never-say-die spirit.
Spurs, who have three league games left to play, lost four out of five Premier League matches before they stopped the rot earlier this month against Crystal Palace in the first game at their new stadium.
"We keep going until the last minute," said midfielder Eriksen.
"We had chances and that was the case in the other games as well, games where we should have scored before instead of making it so exciting and nerve-racking.
"In the end, it's about taking the chances you get... It was patience, building and trying to create something out of nothing. In the end, it was a big win."
Spurs, who host Ajax in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday, travel to Bournemouth on May 4 and then finish their league campaign at home against Everton on May 12.
"Before the season started, we would have signed up for being in the semi-finals of the Champions League and where we are (in the Premier League)," added Eriksen.
"Of course, we would love to have gone even further in the Premier League as well but, at the end, you need to win the games you can; we've done that in the Champions League and we also need to do that in the Premier League to secure our place in the Champions League again next season."
The win against Brighton was their fourth in a row in their sparkling Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They have scored eight goals at their new home without reply.
Mid-table West Ham, in contrast, have not won any of their past eight league matches on the road, failing to score in six of those.
Spurs are without injured talisman Harry Kane but one player almost certain to feature is Son Heung-min, who is suspended for the European tie and says he is feeling fresh as the season nears its climax.
"If I say I'm tired, maybe other players start thinking the same as me, so if I'm tired, I'll never say I'm tired," said the South Korean.
"I try to keep positive. I feel good, and the most important games are coming up. I'm looking forward to playing with fresh legs."

Salah's out but Reds not giving up

LONDON â€¢ The talk after last week's 3-0 Champions League humbling by Barcelona is that should Liverpool manage to claw back the deficit today, it would rival 2005's "Miracle of Istanbul".
However, after Jurgen Klopp revealed that top scorer Mohamed Salah will miss the second leg of their semi-final tie, it would "be the greatest comeback of them all, no question" if the Reds reach their second straight final.
The Liverpool boss dropped the bombshell at his pre-match press conference yesterday, confirming the Egypt forward, who has 26 goals in all competitions this season, had failed to recover from his head knock suffered in their 3-2 Premier League victory at Newcastle on Saturday.
Klopp said: "It's a concussion so that means he would not even be allowed to play. So that's it.
"He feels okay, but it is not good enough from a medical point of view, that is all. He's desperate (to play) everything, but we cannot do it."
The loss of another member of his "Fab Three" - Brazil forward Roberto Firmino, who has 16 goals for the term and was ruled out earlier - represents a hammer blow to Liverpool's hopes of a second consecutive European Cup final.
However, while Klopp admitted "it doesn't make life easier", he will not be waving the white flag and field a weakened side, with his team in contention to end a 29-year English league title drought ahead of the final round of Premier League matches this Sunday.

MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB
Two of the world's best strikers are not available tomorrow night and we have to score four goals against Barca to go through after 90 minutes. But, as long as we have 11 players on the pitch, we will try it.
'' JURGEN KLOPP, on the task at hand.

REDS NEED FAST START
Ideally, you score in the opening 15 minutes and put real doubt in the minds of the Barcelona players. If that happens, then I wouldn't rule anything out.
'' KENNY DALGLISH, former European Cup winner with Liverpool, identifying a glimmer of hope.

The German said: "Two of the world's best strikers are not available tomorrow night and we have to score four goals against Barca to go through after 90 minutes.
"But, as long as we have 11 players on the pitch, we will try it."
Liverpool have a rich history of stunning comebacks in European football, most famously lifting the Champions League trophy in 2005 after trailing 3-0 to AC Milan at half-time of the final.
But the 51-year-old is fully aware of the difficulty of not just scoring at least three against the Spanish champions - only two teams in the competition's history, Roma last year and Deportivo La Coruna in 2004, have overhauled a three-goal advantage after the first leg.
Liverpool must also prevent players like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez from scoring as that would leave them needing at least five goals to progress.
Klopp added: "I imagine the place will be rocking even before we score to be honest, but we not only have to score, we also have to deny Barcelona from scoring.
"It doesn't happen too often that Barcelona don't score at all. We know how big the challenge is. This team are so wonderful we will try 100 per cent, but that doesn't mean it will all work out."
However, with Wolves visiting this Sunday, Klopp did concede "we have to make a lot of decisions".
He said: "Tomorrow night will be the third game in six days and Barcelona changed 11 positions on Saturday, so that is a massive difference as well of course.

Â
Â
"Together with our supporters, it was a long season and there is at least a little chance to make it even longer.
"But, if not, these are the last two home games of an incredible season and we should celebrate that with a good performance on the pitch and a very, very good performance in the stands."
Reds great Kenny Dalglish believes Klopp's men can pull off the unthinkable as "the backing from the home support will drive the players on".
Highlighting "the key to it all is getting the first goal", the former Liverpool manager told Scottish daily The Sunday Post: "Of course, it's hard to see any team scoring four against Barca to get through.
"But I do think the tie is still open, and there remains a glimmer of hope. It would be foolish to say the tie is over.
"Ideally, you score in the opening 15 minutes and put real doubt in the minds of the Barcelona players. If that happens, then I wouldn't rule anything out."

Football: Double injury blow for Spurs ahead of Liverpool clash

LONDON (REUTERS) - Tottenham Hotspur will be without Eric Dier and Serge Aurier for Sunday's (March 31) Premier League trip to Liverpool, manager Mauricio Pochettino has said.
Dier suffered a groin injury in England's 5-0 win over Czech Republic last week and was forced to withdraw from Gareth Southgate's squad for their visit to Montenegro.
"He (Dier) has been ruled out. It's not a big issue but he needs to recover from the problem he suffered against the Czech Republic with the national team," Pochettino told a news conference on Friday.
"One week, 10, days, two weeks. We'll see how it is going to improve. He was running today but we need to wait for the evolution (of the injury).
"Him, Harry Winks and Serge Aurier are going to be out for the weekend."
Midfielder Winks is continuing on-field rehabilitation after a groin injury, while right back Aurier is currently undergoing assessment after sustaining a hamstring problem on international duty with Ivory Coast.
Third-placed Spurs are facing a battle to hang on to a top-four Premier League spot, having suffered three defeats in their last four matches.
Pochettino believes the international break came at the wrong time for his players, who are eagerly waiting for an opportunity to redeem themselves.
"It's a bad thing because after the defeat against Southampton, the last feeling is not good and three weeks without competing becomes a little bit boring," the manager added.
"But that is the situation, we need to accept it and we cannot change that. I'm happy that we are going to compete Sunday and we are going to start a very busy period until the end. I am happy when we are competing."
Juergen Klopp's Liverpool are looking to preserve their Premier League lead and stay unbeaten at home this season, while Spurs are chasing a first win at Anfield since May 2011.

Football: 'Fuming' Spurs must not dwell on Wolves loss, says Winks

LONDON â€¢ Harry Winks has admitted that the deflating 3-1 home defeat by Wolves on Saturday, which stalled Tottenham's Premier League title challenge as soon as it got started, left the Spurs dressing room "fuming".
But the midfielder urged his teammates "not to get carried away with a defeat" before their visit to a rejuvenated Cardiff today.
The Bluebirds are in decent form, having garnered four points from their last two league games, including an impressive win at Leicester over the weekend, and Winks knows more frustration will await should Spurs slip up again.
He said: "What people say on social media, that is their own opinion, but inside the club, we know how far we can go. We have belief.
"To be considered title contenders and to be sitting disappointed that we aren't closer to the top than we'd expect, it just shows us how well we are doing."
But despite Spurs' best first half to a league season, it remains hard to avoid the view that their bid for success on four fronts could once again leave them empty-handed.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino cited mental fatigue, post-World Cup, as a possible reason for the lethargic second-half display against Wolves. His team had nine players in the semi-finals of the tournament in Russia, more than any other club.

The delay to the opening of their new stadium has also meant Wembley remains their temporary home, while this month's two-legged League Cup semi-final with Chelsea will be followed by their last-16 Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund next month.
This Friday sees Spurs start their FA Cup campaign with a visit to fourth-tier Tranmere Rovers, a further addition to an already-congested holiday fixture schedule.
The counter to all that is that a club with ambitions of challenging for major trophies must expect to face those kinds of demands.
And that is where criticism of their failure to bring in new players in the summer resurfaces - although there could be reinforcements with the January transfer window under way.
Squad depth is so often the key to success and while Spurs' success in keeping the current group of players together was admirable, right now, it appears as though fresh additions would be welcome.
That is particularly so given Son Heung-min, arguably Pochettino's form player, will join up with South Korea at the Asian Cup this month.
However, captain Hugo Lloris still feels that all the ingredients are in place this season for Spurs to win their first piece of silverware since the 2008 League Cup.
Insisting they are "reducing the gap with the best", the France goalkeeper said: "This (trophies) is what we work for. We are in the most competitive country, so we keep working with the same mentality and do our best."

Football: Sadio Mane scores again as Liverpool beat Fulham to go top

(REUTERS) - Liverpool's livewire Sadio Mane scored one goal and played a crucial part in the other as they reclaimed the Premier League's top spot with a scrappy 2-1 win at second bottom Fulham on Sunday (March 17).
It had looked like being a frustrating day for Juergen Klopp's side after Mane's opener was cancelled out by Ryan Babel following a mistake by Virgil van Dijk, but substitute James Milner slotted home an 81st-minute penalty to take the points.
Liverpool have 76 points from 31 games, two more than champions Manchester City who have a game in hand. Fulham have 17 points and a mountain to climb if they are to avoid almost certain relegation from the top flight.
Mane scored his ninth league goal in as many games when he fired the visitors into a 26th-minute lead with a classy finish which typified Liverpool's attacking mentality under Klopp.
The Senegal forward exchanged a blistering one-two with Roberto Firmino before he buried his shot from eight metres past Fulham keeper Sergio Rico, who then denied Andy Robertson and Van Dijk either side of halftime.
A calamitous Van Dijk error gifted Fulham a 74th-minute equaliser, as his poor header back to keeper Alisson Becker was intercepted by former Liverpool winger Babel who stroked the ball into an empty net.
Another howler, this time by Rico, decided the contest as the keeper spilled a tame Mohamed Salah shot and then hauled down Mane who pounced on the rebound, leaving Milner to stroke home the winner from the spot.

PORTO â€¢ For Portugal, success begets success, forging an "almost indestructible family" mentality.
So long the nearly men on the international stage, their Euro 2016 triumph - the country's first title - was a culmination of a golden period during which they have also reached the Euro 2004 final, the 2006 World Cup semi-finals and the last four at Euro 2012.
And after clinching the inaugural Nations League with a 1-0 win over the Dutch in Porto last Sunday, Portugal have every intention of continuing their winning momentum - starting with the defence of their European Championship title.
Long-serving manager Fernando Santos, who has been at the helm since 2014, said: "Sometimes, things are not perfect, but that is not for lack of effort. For the last five years, we know what we are capable of doing. We are always candidates to win the competitions we take part in."
He made two key chances for the final, introducing Danilo Pereira instead of Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves to give added protection to his team's backline, while replacing burgeoning talent Joao Felix with Goncalo Guedes.
Both moves paid off as Valencia forward Guedes scored the winner and Porto enforcer Danilo subdued Barcelona-bound Frenkie de Jong, the key midfield cog for the Dutch.
Santos said his team must not stop evolving if they are to lift more silverware. He added: "The future is here and now, right outside the door. If we look back to 2016, some of those players are no longer here - this is an ongoing process."
New blood like Benfica forward Felix - one of Europe's hottest talents - have already been given their first taste of international football while there is a talented supporting cast led by Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, who picked up the Player of the Tournament award.
Portugal's undisputed star Cristiano Ronaldo, 34, however, said he had no plans to retire as he still had the "same enthusiasm" from when he won his first cap at 18.
Despite being a peripheral presence in the final, the Juventus forward still had an impressive tournament after his hat-trick in the semi-final against Switzerland.
He told Portuguese TV channel RTP: "As long as I have the strength and motivation, I will continue to represent the colours of Portugal. When I am with the national team, I feel like at home."
