Setting the tone right away: Vardy is now expected to breathe new life into Burnley

At 39, Jamie Vardy has returned to English soccer—and is expected to help prevent Burnley FC from falling into the third division following its relegation from the Premier League.

Things have been quiet around Jamie Vardy since last season. After 13 years with Leicester City, the popular forward joined a foreign club for the first time in September 2025. Vardy won over the hearts of fans at US Cremonese, but despite scoring seven goals in 29 Serie A matches, he was unable to prevent the team’s relegation.

His contract then expired on June 30. And now? Almost exactly one year to the day after the Cremona deal, Vardy decided to embark on his next “rescue mission.” The now 39-year-old is joining FC Burnley, currently at the bottom of the Championship.

Burnley was relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season, finishing second-to-last, and could hardly have gotten off to a worse start in the new second-division season. Burnley failed to win any of its first five league matches and is, in fact, at the bottom of the table with two points.

The offense, in particular, needed a boost, having scored just six goals in five games. And that’s exactly what Vardy is expected to provide, as he joins the Clarets with a track record of 342 Premier League appearances and 145 goals. Vardy is also familiar with the Championship, as evidenced by his 98 games, 38 goals, and 16 assists.

“We’re very excited to welcome Jamie to Burnley FC,” head coach Nicky Hayen is quoted as saying on the club’s website: “His experience and leadership qualities will be invaluable to our squad, and we’re confident he can make a decisive contribution to our season. Jamie has already proven himself time and again.”

Vardy set the tone right away for his next professional stint in England: “This club has a rich soccer history and passionate fans who deserve a team that represents them and their city.” Reading between the lines, it’s clear that the team’s performance so far this season hasn’t necessarily lived up to that standard. “I can’t wait to get out on the field and help the team get back on track,” he announced.

He may make his debut as early as Tuesday night, when the team faces a tough away match against AFC Wrexham.

Spalletti is on the “Kolo-Muani bandwagon”: What role will Woltemade play at Juve?

In the draw against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade made his debut for Juventus Turin. After the match, Luciano Spalletti expressed his full confidence in the German’s strike partner.

In the 85th minute, Nick Woltemade nearly scored the equalizer for Juventus. The player on loan from Newcastle United turned and fired a left-footed shot, but the ball sailed just over the crossbar. Woltemade had come on as a substitute for Douglas Luiz only about ten minutes earlier to breathe new life into the offense.

Unlike the German, who would later win the free kick that led to Federico Gatti’s decisive 1-1 equalizer against Milan, Randal Kolo Muani had failed to do so throughout the entire match. Luciano Spalletti nevertheless stands behind Woltemade’s positional rival—and in this context also commented on the German national team player.

Spalletti is sticking with Kolo Muani “until the end of the season”

“I’m on the Kolo Muani train, and that’s where I’m staying. We’ll see where this train has taken us in the end,” Turin’s head coach explained after Sunday night’s draw. Spalletti had already expressed his confidence in the former Frankfurt player earlier, when he kept him on the field for the full 90 minutes in the third game of the season. However, his record of zero points does not look promising.

“I’m jumping on this train by playing him as a striker, and I’ll stick with that until the end of the season,” affirmed Spalletti, whose team dropped points for the first time after victories in Frosinone (1–0) and against Parma (2–0). But what does this commitment to Kolo Muani mean for Woltemade?

When asked about this on Sunday evening, Spalletti assured that he could envision a French-German two-man attack—just as in the closing stages against Milan. However, Woltemade would first have to reach the necessary fitness level, having barely seen any playing time for Newcastle previously.

Playing alongside Kolo Muani, who is expected to drop deep frequently, Woltemade could then capitalize on his physicality. Although the 24-year-old had identified “technical ability and game intelligence” as his greatest strengths just a few days earlier at his introduction, Spalletti made it clear: “For Woltemade, heading and finishing are skills he must master—whether he likes it or not.” Whether as a substitute or in a two-man strike partnership with Kolo Muani.

Even Simeone, on the losing side, praises Terzic: “They’ll be in the running for the top spots”

Even Simeone, on the losing side, praises Terzic: “They’ll be in the running for the top spots”

After two losses to start the season, Athletic Bilbao has won two straight games under new coach Edin Terzic. The German is thrilled with his team and the atmosphere—and wants more.

Well, there you go—who would’ve thought? Of course, Edin Terzic couldn’t match the record set by Jupp Heynckes, who kicked off his tenure with Athletic Bilbao in 1992 with a 2-1 home win against Cádiz. After all, there was already that 1-3 loss to Sevilla FC in their first home game three weeks ago.

But with Saturday’s 3-0 win over Atlético Madrid, the former Dortmund coach and new Bilbao manager has earned some brownie points. And plenty of them, at that. Partly because he was the one handing out compliments afterward: “I was pleased with my entire team; we played with intensity, and the atmosphere at San Mamés was simply world-class.”

After two losses to start the season—against Sevilla and then against defending champions FC Barcelona (0–2)—Terzic’s Athletic has now not only racked up two straight wins but also kept two consecutive clean sheets. Last week, they won 2–0 in Vigo, sealing the victory before halftime.

Simeone and Nico Williams Praise Terzic

On Saturday, Athletic struck twice immediately after halftime against Atlético; World Cup champion Nico Williams first scored with a header and then provided the assist for Robert Navarro’s 2–0 goal. In the final minute, Sancet scored to seal the victory. Even Atlético coach Diego Simeone raved: “I really like this Bilbao team. Under Terzic, they’ll definitely be in the mix for the top spots.”

In Bilbao, everyone is already thrilled with Terzic. Nico Williams says: “Our new coach is spectacular, and you can see that on the field in the way we play. He’s taught us a lot of new things and gave a great halftime speech that got us back into the game.” And, according to Williams: “We like the coach’s system.” The groin issues Nico—as he’s known in Spain—has been dealing with, which sidelined the forward for much of the World Cup season, seem to be a thing of the past. They were still bothering him during the tournament, but didn’t prevent him from providing the assist for Ferran Torres’s winning goal in the World Cup final. Now he played 76 minutes, his longest appearance this season.

Terzic relies on a high-tempo transition game that suits Nico Williams and his teammates, but he doesn’t shy away from result-oriented soccer and efficiency either. Against Atlético, he held onto the lead using a 5-4-1 formation. The chemistry with Nico’s brother and captain, Inaki Williams, also seems to be right. After the 2-0 win in Vigo, Williams said, “This is exactly the path we need to take.” Terzic adds, “The six points we have now are just the beginning.” Against upcoming opponents Elche, Levante, and Alavés, the chances of picking up more points look good.

Havertz Scores a Stunner: Arsenal Wins London Derby Against Chelsea

Reigning champions Arsenal won the London derby against Chelsea FC despite falling behind early and remain undefeated in the league. Havertz scored a stunner and also played a key role in Ödegaard’s 2-1 goal—albeit without officially being credited with an assist.

Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso have known each other since their youth days at Real Sociedad; now the two faced off on the sidelines in the London derby—Mikel Arteta with reigning champions Arsenal, Xabi Alonso as Chelsea’s new manager. After each team had opened the season with two league wins—the Gunners won convincingly against Coventry (3–0) and at Aston Villa (1–0), while the Blues put on spectacular performances at Fulham (3–2) and against Brighton (4–3)—it was a top-of-the-table clash between two undefeated teams.

Calafiori celebrates in vain—Havertz breaks the deadlock

The match lived up to that billing from the opening whistle. Just 80 seconds in, Rogers fired a volley into the left corner to give the Blues a lightning-fast start. The hosts’ response wasn’t long in coming: On a free kick played low into the box, Gabriel was denied by Hato and Martinez, who blocked the shot together (5th minute); later, the Blues’ goalkeeper made a strong save against Saka (18th minute). In the meantime, Arsenal even celebrated what they thought was the equalizer by Calafiori. But the VAR disallowed the goal due to an offside call (13th minute).

The fast-paced match showed no signs of slowing down; Arsenal pressed forward, while the Blues lay in wait for counterattacks and delivered their pinprick attacks. The well-deserved equalizer finally came from Havertz: The German international cut inside from the right wing and fired the ball low and precise into the near corner (25th minute).

After that, both teams took their first breather, and the rapid-fire pace of shots on goal slowed. Shortly before halftime, the visitors from West London made another statement: Pedro Neto curled the ball off the post (45’+3). The match went into halftime tied.

Havertz’s “Phantom” Assist for Ödegaard

After the break, it was the Gunners who got off to a dream start. A pass from Tzolis sent Havertz through beautifully in the center, effectively making him the true assist provider. Facing Martinez one-on-one, Ödegaard made no mistake in making it 2–1 (50th minute). The Gunners were literally overwhelming Chelsea during this phase, but suddenly shifted down a gear. The Blues regained some control but lacked real threat on offense.

So the hosts tightened up once again and sought to seal the victory. Martinez tipped a curling shot by Saka—set up by Havertz with a backheel—just wide of the post with his fingertips (69’); shortly afterward, the Argentine was also on hand on the goal line amid the chaos following a corner kick (72’). Above all, however, the reigning champions shifted their focus to protecting the lead.

Chelsea’s late push, on the other hand, was too lackluster to avoid their first loss of the season. Only on a shot by substitute Estevao did Raya have to demonstrate his skills (89’); otherwise, the Gunners allowed virtually nothing defensively. Thus, Arsenal remains undefeated and sits tied on points and goal difference with longtime rival Manchester City at the top of the table.

Champions League opener at the foot of Vesuvius

After losing last season’s final, the Gunners will make a fresh bid for the Champions League trophy on Wednesday (9 p.m.), traveling to face SSC Napoli on the first matchday of the group stage. The Blues, who missed out on all European competitions, will also be in action on Wednesday (9 p.m.) in the League Cup against Leeds United.

Rose Made NBA History: He Has a Bleak Outlook for the Future

Derrick Rose has caused a stir with a remarkable statement about his legacy. The former NBA MVP believes that many fans will soon forget him.

Derrick Rose made NBA history during his career and is still considered an icon, especially in Chicago. Nevertheless, the former MVP takes a surprisingly sober view of his own legacy. The 37-year-old does not believe that future generations of basketball fans will necessarily remember him and his career.

In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Rose pointed to some of the greatest players in NBA history. After all, many young fans today hardly know who Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell were. “So who am I to think they’ll remember me? Most probably won’t,” Rose explained. What matters more to him, he said, is what people take away when they eventually take the time to learn about his story.

Derrick Rose made history as the youngest NBA MVP

Rose has certainly secured a place in the history books. In 2011, the then-Bulls star was named the youngest MVP in NBA history at just 22 years old. During his MVP season, the point guard averaged 25.0 points, 7.7 assists, and 4.1 rebounds, leading Chicago to a 62-20 record and the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, his meteoric rise was subsequently derailed by serious injuries. In particular, his ACL tear in the 2012 playoffs changed the course of his career. Rose fought his way back multiple times and later played for the New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, and Cleveland Cavaliers, among others. In total, he played in 723 NBA games, averaging 17.4 points and 5.2 assists.

“The Criticism Is Justified”: gamescom Admits to Communication Errors

On Friday, gamescom responded to the wave of criticism following its statement on the thefts at the trade show—and apologized. It acknowledged that its response lacked “empathy.”

“In recent days, we have received a great deal of criticism for the way we communicated about the hardware thefts from some indie developers,” gamescom’s second statement summarizes. Before getting to the point: “The criticism is justified.”

The organizers acknowledge that their “initial response did not strike the right tone.” It lacked “the necessary empathy toward those affected,” “which they deserve.” gamescom apologizes for this and expresses understanding for the gravity of the incidents.

“We know what this has cost you”

“Thefts like these are far more than just material losses,” writes the trade show: “They can ruin the entire gamescom and destroy months or years of work—work that means everything to small studios. To everyone affected: We know what this has cost you.”

According to their own statement, gamescom officials have already begun discussions with the developers who were robbed. To discuss the incidents, the consequences—“but above all, to listen.”

Meanwhile, the organizers extend their thanks to the community for its support of indie developers. “However, this does not relieve us as organizers of our responsibility to work together with exhibitors and partners to create the best possible environment,” gamescom acknowledges.

Feedback and Roundtable on Indie Security

That’s why the organizers want to improve security in the future. To this end, in addition to the usual general exhibitor feedback, the organizers are explicitly soliciting feedback this year on the security of indie exhibitors. Invitations to a roundtable will be sent out—so that the trade show and developers can work together on solutions and measures.

“gamescom is by the industry, for the industry. It thrives on the passion of those who have built the industry. That includes the many small studios that are very close to our hearts. We are committed to continuously improving gamescom—together with the community, not just in good times. And that is exactly what we will do,” the new statement concludes.

Strategy Criticism at Monza: Brundle Advises George Russell to Have a Talk with Mercedes

Strategy Criticism at Monza: Brundle Advises George Russell to Have a Talk with Mercedes

Kimi Antonelli beats teammate George Russell at the Italian Grand Prix, partly due to a better strategy: Expert Martin Brundle therefore advises the Brit to have a talk with the team

Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli raced from 19th on the grid to victory at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza—and with this comeback, he particularly humiliated his teammate George Russell. The Briton had started the race from second on the grid but still crossed the finish line behind the Italian.

“It was a very difficult day for George Russell,” agrees former Formula 1 driver and Sky expert Martin Brundle. The main reason for the Briton’s defeat was a different strategy: While Russell wanted to continue on hard tires after the interruption, Antonelli’s team initially opted for the medium compound.

During the virtual safety car period following Lance Stroll’s (Aston Martin) retirement, the championship leader pitted. The 20-year-old then consistently capitalized on his tire advantage to work his way back to the front of the field and pass his teammate with just a few laps to go.

Brundle therefore sees a need for discussion within the Silver Arrows. “[Russell] will certainly have to sit down with the team and ask: ‘How could this happen? I was leading the race. Why wasn’t I given the preferred, advantageous pit stop there?’”

A fresh tire could have secured the victory for Russell

After all, Russell had actually started the Monza race with high hopes. “For the World Championship, this was George’s chance to do something about the gap—and the gap has grown,” Brundle recalls, referring to the Drivers’ Championship.

Former W Series driver and Sky analyst Naomi Schiff agreed with her colleague’s assessment. “I think maybe the reason we’re seeing him so calm right now is that he’s probably questioning himself a bit and wondering why he couldn’t capitalize on it more.”

“But I think, in hindsight, he’ll ask questions like, ‘Why couldn’t I come into the pits during the VSC phase?’” the race car driver adds. “Yes, he was on a different strategy, and they wanted him to stay out for a long time. But ultimately, a fresher set of tires could have secured him the win today.”

Now the situation is even clearer: Kimi Antonelli, who celebrated his seventh victory of the season at his home race in Monza, was able to further extend his lead and now tops the World Championship standings with a 66-point lead over teammate George Russell.

Steve Nielsen: Monza Pole Is the Best Compensation for the Monaco Appeal

Just one day after the defeat in the appeals court, Pierre Gasly secured pole position at Monza: For team principal Steve Nielsen, it was the perfect consolation

As we all know, Formula 1 writes the craziest scripts, but what unfolded in the Alpine camp within just 30 hours bordered on an emotional roller coaster ride—even by Formula 1 standards.

After the team suffered a stinging defeat on Friday before the International Court of Appeal (ICA) and definitively lost Pierre Gasly’s Monaco podium finish, the moment for revenge came on the track.

With a fabulous lap, Gasly put the A526 on pole position for the Italian Grand Prix. Team principal Steve Nielsen experienced an emotional sense of satisfaction in the command center that ran deeper than usual. For even though he will be “annoyed for the rest of my life” about the Monaco result, “it’s certainly a nice way to strike back with pole position.”

Speaking candidly to Sky, the Briton admits that there was anger within the Enstone team that drove them to turn things around so dramatically. But when asked whether such a result had been on their wish list, the team principal replies: “No, honestly, no.”

However, the groundwork had been laid in recent weeks: “We made a major upgrade to Pierre’s car at Zandvoort, and it’s also on Franco’s car here. I don’t think we got the most out of the package at Zandvoort—it’s a somewhat quirky track—but we came here and the car is responding very well.”

In addition to the aero package, absolutely every detail came together perfectly in qualifying at this high-speed mecca: “We nailed the spacing, we nailed the slipstreaming, the drivers didn’t make any mistakes, and the lap time is clearly in the car, because both cars were pretty fast.”

Engine Efficiency and Operational Perfection

“Our package doesn’t generate much drag, which is great and helps our top speed—something everyone can see. So it’ll be hard to pass us tomorrow, too, which is nice,” he continues. “But yes, I think it definitely suits our package with all the high-speed sections here.”

At the same time, Nielsen emphasizes that a fantastic lap at Monza is always a combination of technology and precision execution in the pit lane: “The team also did a great job of getting the cars running properly. There’s a lot that goes into it when you leave the garage: who you’re behind, when you run your lap—and today we got it all right, which is great.”

“Pierre is in a class of his own”

The fact that Pierre Gasly, of all people, snatched pole position has a certain romantic appeal. After all, four six years ago, he celebrated the greatest success of his career with a sensational victory on this very track. “Pierre is in a class of his own,” Nielsen praises.

“If you give him the right car, he’ll deliver. Last year we failed to do that a few times, and this year we haven’t always given him the most competitive car. But when we have, he’s delivered—especially at the start of the season.”

For the entire Alpine team, this Saturday represents a massive boost in motivation—one that was desperately needed after losing the legal battle: “Seeing the team bounce back, seeing him deliver on a track he knows well—he lives right nearby in Milan, after all—is wonderful,” says Nielsen.

“And of course, we can’t forget Franco [Colapinto] either—he did a great job today.”

Nielsen, who had already announced on Friday after the ruling that the loss of points was “a blow, but by no means fatal,” sums up these turbulent days aptly: “Two or three days ago, we were all down in the dumps. From being truly devastated to absolutely on top of the world in just two days—that’s amazing. We have to soak this in now and make the most of it.”

McLaren Isn’t Giving Up on the World Championship, But: We Aren’t Good Enough at Monza

McLaren believes it remains in the Formula 1 world championship fight regardless of the outcome at Monza, but the team isn’t as competitive in Italy as it had hoped

After two wins on the high-downforce tracks of Budapest and Zandvoort, McLaren suffered a minor setback in qualifying for the Formula 1 race at Monza—including in terms of the team’s vague World Championship ambitions. While Team Principal Andrea Stella still sees the team as in the title fight, they aren’t as competitive at Monza as they’d like to be.

McLaren had expected significantly better results than third and ninth place, but Stella doesn’t want to make too much of the gap: “When you consider the entire process—the car’s setup, the optimization of the chassis, driving style, and power unit—I think we saw in qualifying that we had achieved a relatively competitive position,” he says.

The team principal attributed the failure to achieve a major breakthrough primarily to shortcomings in operational execution as well as the extreme slipstreaming on the straights. Under ideal circumstances, a top-tier finish would have been realistic, but because Oscar Piastri braked too late when he was supposed to provide slipstream for Lando Norris, Norris had no chance of a good result.

“If we had done a better job with the execution and control of certain parameters—which don’t depend solely on the car’s raw performance—we definitely could have qualified in the first two rows of the grid,” Stella believes.

Not a Car for Pole Position

For the Papaya Team, nothing less than the world championship title is at stake at this stage of the season. However, merely tagging along with the chasing pack isn’t enough to put pressure on the leaders in the overall standings. Stella deliberately sets the bar high for his team and doesn’t shy away from a ruthless investigation into the root causes.

“From a performance standpoint, Monza was essentially a ‘half-pass’ as a test of the MCL40’s capabilities,” the Italian openly admits, placing the result squarely in the context of the title race.

“If we want to relate this to the World Championship: To be a full-fledged contender in the World Championship again, it’s obviously not enough to say we were in the top two rows of the grid. You want the performance to be able to say: We have the best car and are now racing for the win. I’m not sure if we can claim that here at Monza.”

The track’s characteristics did not forgive the remaining weaknesses in aerodynamics. The competition—led by the unstoppable Alpine team and Mercedes—mercilessly exploited their top-speed advantages. “This is a very unique track, and we can see that some of our rivals were extremely fast,” said Stella.

“But at no point did we demonstrate that we clearly have the car capable of fighting for pole position and that we have the best car on the grid. So we still have some work ahead of us,” was the team principal’s sobering assessment.

Development race as the key to the title

Despite the setbacks in the high-speed sectors, there’s no panic whatsoever in Woking. Sunday’s race still offers opportunities for big points thanks to the expected “yo-yo racing” and strategic uncertainties.

For the rest of the season, however, Stella is calling for a noticeable improvement from the R&D department to permanently close the gap to the leaders. “We’re definitely staying in the fight, no matter what happens at Monza,” said the Italian.

“But we need to put even more work into developing the car if we want to catch up to Antonelli and Mercedes in the World Championship.”

George Russell: I’m happier with the strong performance than with the win

George Russell: I’m happier with the strong performance than with the win

George Russell is a little disappointed about missing out on pole, but he’s much more satisfied with his performance after the summer break than he was before

George Russell beat all his rivals from McLaren, Ferrari, and Red Bull in qualifying for the Formula 1 race at Monza—and yet it still wasn’t enough for the Mercedes driver to secure pole position. Somewhat surprisingly, Alpine driver Pierre Gasly snatched the top spot on the grid for the Italian Grand Prix.

Russell had taken the top spot shortly before the end, but was ultimately beaten by Gasly by 0.060 seconds. While he says he’s genuinely happy for the Frenchman, he’s still “naturally disappointed that we aren’t on pole ourselves.”

This also had to do with Max Verstappen, who thwarted Mercedes’ planned slipstream tactic and tried to squeeze in between Kimi Antonelli and Russell, but ended up holding them up because Antonelli didn’t want to let the Red Bull pass.

“He wanted to draft, Kimi was there too, and I drove my lap one and a half seconds behind Max—which wasn’t ideal,” says Russell, while Mercedes believes that it was precisely this move that cost the Briton pole position at Monza.

“However, that doesn’t take anything away from Pierre’s performance,” he emphasizes. “They were flying all day, were the fastest in Q1, and were right up there from the start. They looked strong all weekend.”

In fact, Gasly had certainly hinted at the A526’s potential with the fastest time in Q1, but at what point did Russell even begin to perceive the Alpine as a threat? “We’ve often seen in Q1 that some midfield teams put in competitive laps,” he says. “You’ve seen that a few times with VCARB, for example, where they were in the top three at the start of a session.”

Will Gasly be a contender on Sunday?

Russell therefore admits that he didn’t read too much into that first fastest time. “I don’t think we would have thought they’d be fighting for pole,” he says. “And it just shows what a fantastic job he and his team did to take pole—and he was one of the few drivers who was able to improve on his time on the very last lap.”

“That was really quite impressive.”

But the race is, of course, a whole different story. Russell knows that starting from second on the grid gives him every chance of winning, even though he fully expects an “interesting battle” with Gasly. “I think they have a car with very good top speed on the straights, which will work in their favor during the race.”

“I don’t know exactly how the battle will play out tomorrow, but I’m confident that I have the pace to contend for the win,” said the Briton.

No Thoughts on the World Championship

If he manages to achieve a good result in the race, that could, of course, provide another boost toward the world championship title. He currently trails his teammate Antonelli by 59 points; Antonelli will start the race from 20th on the grid due to an engine penalty at Monza.

However, Russell will also receive another penalty this season—“hopefully by the time we have the update on the car, which should make catching up a bit easier than it is now,” he says.

But he’s not wasting any thoughts on the World Championship right now. “I’m focusing solely on my performance, and this has been a very strong weekend so far,” said the Mercedes driver. “We didn’t quite nail it at the decisive moment, but we were in the top 3 in every single session throughout the entire weekend.”

“And back in Zandvoort, I was on the front row for both the Sprint and the main race. So I’m very happy with this momentum since the summer break.”

Before the break, Russell went through a difficult phase in which he was often further back in the field and lost ground to Antonelli in the World Championship. “Coming back from this break and simply finding my rhythm again makes me really happy. Of course, the win will be very important, but I’m almost even happier about the pure performance.”
