New York Red Bulls Head Coach Chris Armas is excited to reunite with his team again after the end of season break ended. “It’s great to be back with the guys, out in the field, training,” Armas told the club’s official website. “You quickly get reminded what a great group of players we have.”“It’s like we haven’t missed a beat out there,” he said.
The ascension of RB Leipzig – Good or bad for football? Milan Gjorgjevikj – February 12, 2018 RB Leipzig put east Germany back on the football map, but at what cost? Is their achievement a success story, or is it bad…Armas says he hopes to instill the club’s discipline and tradition on the new players and make sure the experienced players become sharper and quicker with the ball. “You love the energy those young guys bring, there’s so much for them to be fighting for,” Armas said. “To see Bradley Wright-Phillips interact with some of the younger players, it’s a thing of beauty to watch it all come together.”The Red Bulls continue training at home before heading to Florida for their first preseason stint, starting on January 21.

Kepa Arrizabalaga’s Wembley bust-up with Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has resulted in a fine by the club.Sarri and the former Bilbao shot-stopper held talks on Monday over the ‘keeper’s obstinacy in the Carabao Cup final loss to Manchester City on penalties.The Italian manager was frustrated on the sidelines after Kepa failed to be subbed for Willy Caballero ahead of the penalty shootout.Reports claim both men have settled their differences and Kepa has personally apologised to Sarri, his team-mates and the club in full acknowledgment he made “a big mistake”.His wages will go to charity, and he told Sky: “I have thought a lot more about yesterday’s events. Although there was a misunderstanding, on reflection I made a big mistake with how I handled the situation.“I wanted to take the time today to apologise fully and in person to the coach, to Willy, my team-mates and to the club. I have done this and now I want to offer the same apology to the fans.“I will learn from this episode and will accept any punishment or discipline the club decides is appropriate.”
Sarri: “Cristiano Ronaldo is the strongest player in the world” Andrew Smyth – September 14, 2019 Maurizio Sarri has no doubts that Cristiano Ronaldo is the main man at Juventus, and plans to the star give more freedom to exploit his talents to their fullest extent.Sarri said: “Kepa and I have spoken about the incident. It was a good conversation. There was a misunderstanding yesterday but he realises he made a big mistake in the way he reacted. He has apologised to me, his team-mates and the club.Chelsea fine Kepa Arrizabalaga a week’s wages after Maurizio Sarri Wembley bust-up: https://t.co/eFIXIvru9b pic.twitter.com/tKZyvyiHOI— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) February 25, 2019“It is up to the club if they want to discipline him according to the club rules, but for me, this matter is now closed.“The team performance as a whole was extremely positive and it is a shame to see how this incident has overshadowed our efforts in what was a very competitive cup final.“Everyone’s focus is now on the next game and we must all now put this behind us.”
The new authority enacted in the fiscal 2013 defense authorization bill allowing military installations and their host communities to enter into intergovernmental support agreements (IGSAs) for base support services has brought renewed attention to the importance of installation-community partnerships.In an interview about the IGSA signed last month by the city Monterey, Calif., and the Presidio of Monterey, Katherine Hammack, assistant secretary of the Army for installations, energy and environment, emphasized that other authorities also are available for installations and their neighbors to forge partnerships.“IGSAs aren’t the sole way to form a close relationship in a specific area with a community; we do have several other tools that we can use,” she told On Base.Other available authorities include mutual aid agreements, which allow an installation and neighboring municipalities to share emergency services, and memorandums of understanding, which can be used for a variety of smaller initiatives. For example, a host community might agree to install lights at an installation’s baseball field in exchange for the right to use the field for its Little League teams, Hammack said.“You don’t need a very complex agreement for something like that; you can do it in very short form,” she said.“We want to encourage people to be as effective and efficient as possible,” Hammack said.To be sure, the Army is taking advantage of the IGSA authority. As of a month ago, the service had eight active IGSAs generating in aggregate a little more than $1 million annually in cost savings or cost avoidance. Eight more IGSAs will be considered for approval during fiscal 2017, she said. That group also is projected to save the Army about $1 million annually. During the review process for those agreements, officials may decide to convert some to a different authority, however, Hammack noted.“We appreciate this authority [intergovernmental support agreements] and see it as a benefit for the Army and communities,” she said.

It should come as no surprise that, in its quest to become a full-blown entertainment ecosystem, Netflix has built a roster of podcast programming to complement its scores or original series and films.The programs recruit top talent and hosts to hang out and talk about the streaming giant’s TV and film content. It’s a savvy extension of marketing, but Netflix podcasts could also eventually become a source of original content. And though it’s still branded content, each one of the company’s podcasts tries to put a fresh spin on the show-related interviews and breakdowns.Take the recently launched “Present Company with Krista Smith,” wherein the former Vanity Fair west coast editor and newly-minted Netflix consultant sits with megastars and tastemakers like Eddie Murphy, Marta Kauffman, Mary J. Blige and TED Talk supernova Brene Brown. The program gives the kind of lush editorial flourish Smith was known for in magazines and reinforces why the streamer got into business with those bold names in the first place. Related ‘Orange Is the New Black’ Creator Jenji Kohan and Star Uzo Aduba Bid Farewell Then there’s “Strong Black Legends,” where podcast star Tracy Clayton talks to formative black creators and icons like comedian Jackée Harry and director Robert Townsend, as well a self-interview series where stars pick from a fishbowl of questions called “I Hate Talking About Myself.” A second run of the latter kicks off on Monday, and will feature Jonathan Groff and Cameron Britton of “Mindhunter,” and Ben Platt and Zoey Deutch of Ryan Murphy’s inaugural Netflix series “The Politician.”The most effective podcast tie-in for Netflix as a brand might be “You Can’t Make This Up,” which gives a behind-the-scenes look at how nonfiction filmmakers got their compelling true crime stories. As a genre, true crime accounts for four of the top ten podcasts in the country, according to online ranker Chartable. The number one most downloaded in the country is the Parcast Network’s “Today in True Crime.”“We are always looking for different ways to engage with people,” said Rae Votta, podcast lead for the Netflix brand and editorial team. “We’re talking a lot with our documentary team about what opportunities are out there, as we are with scripted.”Lexi Nsita, a director in Votta’s group, said the internal desire is “to get good at deepening the space around our shows.”The pair acknowledged how many reported and scripted podcasts are being adapted, and said they were open to the idea of developing original ideas that their development teams could later use for films and series.“We’re taking nothing off the table. We have a deeply engaged audience, a curious audience, who is always looking for more,” said Votta.
