Stuart Lancaster (Racing 92) found the defeat once morest Toulouse “frustrating”. PAUL CHILDS / REUTERS
The English coach of the Paris region was at a press conference on Sunday evening following his team’s defeat once morest Toulouse (20-27) for the 13th day of the championship.
Stuart Lancaster (Racing 92 coach, following the defeat of the Ile-de-France residents Sunday evening once morest Stade Toulousain, 20-27): “It was frustrating. We had a good match. Toulouse demonstrated its offensive qualities for 80 minutes. We knew we had to defend at our best and control the ball. We were able to do it well at times but we lacked realism in the red zone. We played well despite the absences. I’m happy with 90% of our production tonight. But it’s the 10% that’s missing that makes the difference once morest the best. Toulouse is ruthless, it’s a good lesson before Perpignan.”

Sevilla might be satisfied with the point achieved once morest Osasuna. The Navarrese team lacked the ambition to knock out a rival who, following an acceptable first half, fell into the abyss in an incomprehensible second half. Sevilla, affected, without vitality, suffered a strange paralysis. Osasuna tied following Isaac’s first-half goal from a set piece through Budimir. They wasted the entire second half once morest this Sevilla without answers, who did not shoot between the three posts of the Navarrese goal until the 95th minute. Sergio Herrera deflected Sergio Ramos’ shot and then was quick to deflect the ball. With so few arguments, victory is an entelechy for Sevilla.

Osasuna took center stage in the second act in the face of Andalusian inaction. Soumaré dried up and all local football was a nonsense. Aimar Oroz and Moncayola enjoyed two clear actions to achieve the second goal. Osasuna’s dominance was already complete following the direct red card to Suso for a harsh challenge on Oroz in the 85th minute. Thus, Sevilla added its 10th game without winning at home. Everything acceptable that he drew in the first half, with a good Isaac, was diluted in the second. One point separates him from the abyss while Osasuna breathes much easier. Jagoba Arrasate’s men did not want to do more damage once morest this vulnerable Sevilla team. Quique’s men, who are not lifting their heads, are saved by the low production in points of Almería, Granada and Cádiz.
Gone were the fans’ applause for their team at half-time. The tribute to the three Sevilla fans who died last Thursday in an accident on the way to Madrid caused an emotional minute of silence. It also gave rise to an outburst from the Sevilla fans in support of their team. There was chemistry. A group, that of Quique Sánchez Flores, in which Agoumé made his debut in the center of the field, with Rakitic in the stands while his transfer to Saudi football is completed. A Sevilla, at least, well organized, which lived off of Isaac’s nose (he has scored his team’s last four goals in just five games played). There was hardly any news from Osasuna, which lacked some intensity and play between the lines. Soumaré dominated the central plot and the Navarrese team, quite comfortable on the table, only offered danger in a shot by Moi that Nyland stopped well. Sevilla may be bad, but even so, winning at home requires much more.
After the excitement of the first act, Sevilla broke down. The tremor settled in the local players following Budimir’s tie. A draw that came from a set piece, one of the big problems for this Sevilla team that finds it so difficult to compete. Every ball into the Nyland area was a problem. Osasuna took advantage of it, which tied, with almost the entire second half ahead. But he only gave it to tie. He had to believe it and go following a rival who was awaiting the sentence. And all in a Sánchez Pizjuán who suffered the umpteenth defeat of this disastrous season. Osasuna went regarding its business. A point that helps you navigate calmly through the middle zone of the classification.
MANCHESTER, England —
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp took a deep breath and looked at the camera before saying the phrase that would shock the football world on Friday.
“I will leave the club at the end of the season,” the German warned in an interview recorded for the club’s press. “It’s not what I want (to do), it’s what I think is 100% right.”
Klopp, who has won Premier League and Champions League titles in a trophy-laden run at Anfield, said he was “running out of energy” following more than eight years in charge.
“I’m like a sports car. Not the best, but a good one. I can still go 160, 170, 180 miles per hour, but I’m the only one who notices that the needle is starting to go down,” he indicated. “The world doesn’t see it. That’s good. “So you keep going as long as you can, but then you need a break.”
Klopp, 56, informed Liverpool of his decision in November and that he would wait at least a year before considering another managerial position. He also ruled out moving to a Premier League rival.
“What I definitely know — I will never coach a club other than Liverpool in England, 100%,” he said. “It’s not possible. “My love for the club, my respect for the people is too great.”
“Of course, I know myself, I can’t sit still, I’ll find something else to do. But I will not manage any club or country for at least a year, it is not possible. “I can’t, nor do I want to do it.”
Klopp’s status with the club is secure following he helped return the team to the top of European football and ended the English league’s 30-year title drought in 2020.
His decision was a surprise considering that he recently rebuilt the team that leads the Premier League and will play the League Cup final once morest Chelsea.
Liverpool are also in contention in the FA Cup and the Europa League following finishing the previous campaign without trophies and failing to qualify for the Champions League.
Klopp described this season as “incredibly difficult” and spoke of the determination to rebuild.
“For me, it was super, super important that I might help the team get back on track. It was the only thing I thought regarding,” he commented. “When I realized that that happened, it is a great team with a lot of potential and with a good age, good character and all that, then I might think of myself and that was the result.”
Klopp had a reputation for winning before joining Liverpool following leading Borussia Dortmund to back-to-back German league titles in 2011 and 2012.
With Liverpool he won seven trophies and in 2022 he was in the fight to win four titles, something that was unprecedented, with the League Cup and the FA Cup. His team failed to win the league on the final day and lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid.
Now he is back in the fight for a title and he didn’t want his announcement to distract them.
“Let’s really go for it now,” he exclaimed. “Let’s get everything out of this season and get something else that will make us smile when we look back in the future.”
Liverpool also confirmed that assistants Pepijn Lijnders and Peter Krawietz, as well as elite development coach Vitor Matos, will leave at the end of the season.
He also announced that sporting director Jorg Schmadtke will leave at the end of the month in the transfer window.
Former Liverpool player and current Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has been linked as a possible successor to Klopp.
“What Jürgen has achieved with Liverpool. I have great respect and admiration for him, what he has done in nine years…. But my attention is here at Bayer Leverkusen,” Alonso indicated.
