Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann wants to continue the momentum from their victory over France heading into their final match with the Netherlands before the European Championship in June.
Nagelsmann’s side ran out 2-0 winners over France on Saturday to end a run of three games without victory – dating back to October where they beat the United States 3-1 – and will now face the Netherlands in their last dress rehearsal before their home Euros.
The German manager does not want the result over France to be a one off and is keen to build on the performance by naming an unchanged side.
He told a press conference: “It’s about the team believing in itself and this path – even in negative moments in the game.
“We have turned into what we want to con…
Alan Pardew says Newcastle United fans are not getting carried away with the club s unbeaten start to the English Premier League season.
Playing just their second campaign back in the top flight after being relegated in 2008/09, Newcastle are one of only two teams yet to lose this season, and sit a lofty third on the table.
Their record goes on the line on Saturday when they travel to face the other unbeaten side, league leaders Manchester City.
And there are two more tough assignments to follow in the coming weeks, with fixtures against Manchester United away and Chelsea at home.
Regardless of the outcome of Newcastle s hardest run yet, Pardew believes the supporters are sensible enough to keep their expectations in check.
When I ve been aroun…
Newcastle striker Ayoze Perez said their 1-0 derby loss to Sunderland on Sunday was an unfair result.
Manager Alan Pardew s horrendous record in the Tyne-Wear derby continued at St James Park, as their local rivals came to Newcastle and won for the third consecutive visit.
Pardew has overseen only one victory between the two rivals a 1-0 success at the Stadium of Light in August 2011 in eight derbies.
Perez, who has scored crucial goals against Tottenham and Liverpool this season, said he felt Pardew was unfortunate not to chalk a rare derby win to his name.
It was a souring defeat so we aren t very happy about it but now we are focusing on the next game and we need to bounce back, Perez told nufc.co.uk.
Personally, I think I just need to keep p…

It has come to Spanish media’s knowledge that Barcelona and Real Madrid are both keeping a close watch on Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur.
The 20-year-old Uruguay midfielder has only joined Bianconeri this summer from Boca Juniors but six appearances in the Italian top flight have been more than enough for the teenager to earn plenty of admirers.

Juventus paid less than €10 to land one of the biggest talents of the South Americas and could choose to cash in on the midfielder who is said to have already ‘tripled’ his value.
Real Madrid are said to have be…
