Inhoudsopgave van 19-Sep-2017 - MATCH!

Two of Serie A’s hottest young superstars go head-to-head this weekend in Turin. Epic! The Italian league is currently home to some of Europe’s biggest talents, and two of them will be scrapping it out this weekend in the Turin derby! Paulo Dybala is Juventus’ hottest property, while Andrea Belotti is Torino’s goal king! MATCH takes a look at the two stars trying to take over Serie A… STYLES The two forwards have loads in common, but they play differently. Belotti is a proper centre-forward that gets on the end of crosses and through balls, while Dybala is more of a No.10 – he drops deep to dribble and create chances. They’d be proper deadly if they played together! CELEBRATIONS Both stars have their own unique goal celebrations – Dybala…

HAZARD ON… HIS PLAYING STYLE EDEN SAYS: “When I’m on the pitch I don’t think a lot, I just play. I just play with freedom and try to do my best. I try to enjoy playing on the pitch. Whether it’s Stamford Bridge or anywhere, I do the same – I play like I do in the garden with my friends and brothers.” HAZARD ON… HIS FIRST BLUES HAT-TRICK EDEN SAYS: “My first hat-trick was against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge. It was a special day for me – I was flying in the game! Branislav Ivanovic passed me the ball for my first, the second was a beautiful goal with Samuel Eto’o and the third one was a penalty – agood hat-trick! I hope I can do a lot more!”…

WEST HAM v TOTTENHAM West Ham away has been a tough fixture for Tottenham in the last couple of seasons! 1-0 defeats at The Hammers’ ground have cost Spurs crucial points in their last two title challenges, so they’ll be desperate for revenge over their London rivals this weekend. The Lilywhites will have to keep an eye on Manuel Lanzini, though –he's hit three in four versus them! ONES TO WATCH! Manuel Lanzini – West Ham Harry Kane – Tottenham ARSENAL V WEST BROM After a pretty poor start, a solid West Brom team are far from ideal opponents for Arsenal!

HERNANDEZ Club: West Ham Last season: 11 Mins per goal: 165 Javier has proven throughout his career that if he gets chances, he’ll score goals! It didn’t take him long to get off the mark for West Ham, and he could be the man to keep them up this season! STRIKER SKILLS SANCHEZ Club: Arsenal Last season: 24 Mins per goal: 134 Last year was Sanch’s most prolific season since he joined Arsenal, partly coz he played up front a lot! He’ll probably be back on the wing again in 2017-18 though, so we doubt he’ll reach 20+ this time! STRIKER SKILLS VARDY Club: Leicester Last season: 13 Mins per goal: 216 Vards may never match his title-winning tally of 24, but he’s still one of the deadliest hitmen…

FIFA DIARY  Can MATCH win the Champions Cup with Dortmund? ★ Our biggest priority was the cup final, so we rested our big stars for Bundesliga matches and played youngsters instead. Ace wonderkid Christian Pulisic was class – he’s atop-quality dribbler that bags loads of goals and assists, so we also included him in our European games! ★ We really tried to counter-attack our way to the final with the 4-3-3 Defend formation – sometimes we started with it, and other times we switched mid-game after taking the lead! The two DMs protect the back four, the CM gets about and our front three attack with pace! ★ After knocking AC Milan out, we beat Atletico and Liverpool, then faced Man. City in the final! Ousmane Dembele ripped it up…
