Slot pulls out of award ceremony after Liverpool parade tragedy

LIVERPOOL: Liverpool manager Arne Slot opted against attending a ceremony in London where he was due to receive an award, saying he withdrew out of solidarity with those affected in the team'scity-center parade tragedy. Slot was named both the Premier League's Manager of the Season and the League Managers Association's Manager of the Year after guiding Liverpool to its record-tying 20th league title in his first season at the club. Hundreds of thousands of fans lined the streets of Liverpool on Monday to celebrate with the players as they paraded the trophy on open-top buses, only for joy to turn to anguish when a man rammed his car into a crowd of people. Sixty-five people were injured and 11 remained hospitalized Tuesday in stable condition. A 53-year-old British man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, police said, and was also being held on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving on drugs. On turning down the invitation to attend the LMA's award ceremony, Slot wrote in a letter: This is not a decision I have taken lightly but it is one that I feel is absolutely right given the seriousness of the situation. Football, he added, is and always should be a game built on rivalry, but it is also a great source of comradeship, especially at times like this. Slot also paid tribute to the emergency services, the authorities in Liverpool and supporters and bystanders who helped one another in an hour of need. I think everyone involved in the aftermath deserves the gratitude of all of us, Slot said. Klopp: The wo faces of life Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who watched the parade from close to where the car-ramming occurred, said it destroyed one of the greatest days in the history of the city. Klopp, who was inducted into the LMA's Hall of Fame 1,000 Club on Tuesday, said the incident showed the two faces of life. The most beautiful face for a long time: the parade was incredible, the mood was incredible, he said. And from one second to another, everything changed and we learned again there are more serious things in the world than football. Thoughts and prayers go to the injured people and their families as well. I dont know how and why it happened but we know what happened and thats very bad.

New Brazil coach Ancelotti turns down Neymar, predicts a 'better' Vinicius Jnior

RIO DE JANEIRO: Carlo Ancelotti's first day as Brazil coach included saying No to Neymar and a promise to find more improvement from his former Real Madrid striker Vincius Jnior. Ancelotti was introduced on Monday at a packed press conference in a Rio de Janeiro hotel, and just to ensure he was under no illusions as to his primary task, he was welcomed by Brazil's last two World Cup-winning coaches, 1994's Carlos Alberto Parreira and 2002's Luiz Felipe Scolari. Scolari gave Ancelotti a national team jacket and told the first foreigner in a century to coach Brazil full-time, Just be you, the person you always were, and you will win with Brazil. We all wish you well with Brazil, we will always support you. The Italian, contracted to the end of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, announced his first squad for World Cup qualifiers next week against Ecuador and Paraguay. Neymar returned to Santos only last week from a muscular injury, and that was too late for the new coach. Unfortunately, we have a lot of players who suffered injuries and cannot be in the national team, like Neymar, Ancelotti said. Brazil has many talented players, and in Neymar's specific case we are counting on him. He came back to Brazil to play and prepare for the World Cup. I spoke to him this morning to explain that to him, and he is totally in agreement. Ancelotti said Vincius will grow as a Brazil striker under his management. Vincius has been criticized by Brazil fans for not reproducing his sterling Real Madrid form in the national team. I am totally convinced that Vinicius will show his best version in the national team, Ancelotti said. Then he joked, Like Madrid. Not the one of this year, the one of last year. Madrid wasn't as good this season as last season, easing Ancelotti's decision to leave the club after 15 trophies in two stints. Another talking point of his 25-man squad was the recall of midfielder Casemiro after missing out for almost a year and a half. The national team needs these players, who have charisma, personality, talent, the coach said. In modern soccer, you have to also have posture, compromise, sacrifice. And Casemiro does have that, as many of those in the squad do. That is key to prepare for the World Cup. A tall order The 65-year-old Ancelotti charmed about 200 media in the press conference. On a stellar club career including a record five Champions League titles and national titles in Italy, Spain, France, England and Germany: After 40 years I still don't know what makes teams win. I know I want players in a comfortable position on the pitch. On vacation plans: I want to enjoy this country. Rio, I don't know yet. I've never been to the Christ Redeemer. On the World Cup: Brazilian society wants me to deliver a first World Cup title after 24 years, I know. What a tall order.

What to know about the crash into a parade of Liverpool soccer fans

LONDON: A British man was arrested after he drove his minivan Monday into a parade of Liverpool soccer fans celebrating their teams victory in the Premier League Championship in an incident that injured nearly four dozen people. Authorities said the 53-year-old man is believed to be the only one involved in the incident and it was not being investigated as an act of terrorism. Tens of thousands of fans had joined in the hours-long procession under heavy security along a 10-mile (16 kilometer) route. Heres what we know so far about the crash: What happened? Authorities say a man plowed his car into the crowd of soccer fans in the northwestern English city. Emergency vehicles and an air ambulance rushed to the scene to attend to the injured. Paradegoer Peter Jones said he heard the car smash into the crowd and saw at least a half dozen people down in the road. Another paradegoer, Harry Rashid, said the car stopped after initially hitting some of the victims. Rashid said people then charged toward the vehicle, smashing its windows, and the driver kept going. Merseyside Police said they were investigating what led to the incident. Who was affected? Nearly four dozen people were injured, including four children. Twenty-seven people were taken to the hospital, with two suffering serious injuries, and another 20 were treated for minor injuries at the scene, according to authorities. Four people were stuck beneath the vehicle and had to be freed by firefighters. Why were fans celebrating? Liverpool fans were celebrating the city teams Premier League soccer championship in a record-tying 20th top-flight title. The teams last league title was in 2020, but fans couldnt publicly celebrate in the same way due to pandemic-related restrictions. Mondays parade wound through the streets despite wet weather. Fans danced and waved scarves while the teams players traveled on top of two buses. Liverpool clinched the title after defeating Tottenham last month. Rival Manchester United also has the achievement of winning 20 English league titles.

Inter's last shot at glory: Can Nerazzurri overcome PSG and keep their coach?

MILAN: Inter Milan was gunning for the treble just over a month ago. Then Inter lost in the Italian Cup semifinals to AC Milan, and lost its Serie A title by one point to Napoli. The Nerazzurri's third and last shot at a trophy is on Saturday in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain and coach Simone Inzaghi doesn't want talk of it being his last match in charge to become another distraction for his side. Saudi Arabia club Al-Hilal is reportedly trying to tempt Inzaghi with a bumper offer of more than 20 million euros ($23 million) a season. Fortunately, my club knows me well, Inzaghi said on Monday. Every year, there are offers from Italy and abroad, from Saudi Arabia, but I think it would be crazy to think about that now. Inzaghi was speaking at a media day ahead of the Champions League final, his and Inters second in three seasons after they lost to Manchester City in 2023. The Italian coach has been at Inter since 2021 and has one more year left on his contract. After the final, well sit down and talk with a single goal in mind, and this always applies: The good of Inter, Inzaghi said. If all the components and conditions are there we will move forward as we have always done in harmony these past few years. It would be crazy to talk now about something that doesnt exist. Look at what awaits us on Saturday. Inter and Inzaghi have progressed in the coachs four years at the club. At Inter, Inzaghi finally shrugged off his King of Cups nickname when he lifted his first league trophy last year. Before that, with Lazio and then Inter, Inzaghi won three Italian Cups and five Italian Super Cups, earning him the title of Re di Coppe (King of Cups) because he had never coached a league champion. But winning the Champions League would be a crowning achievement, especially after the disappointment of two years ago. It would also completely alter the perception of a season in which Inter missed out on trophies by small margins. That (Champions League win) would clearly make all the difference in the world, Inzaghi said. The boys have been extraordinary this season because we played 59 games... We gave everything on the field, we didnt think, we didnt make choices, we tried to give everything we had that was always our strength and we had an exciting journey in the Italian Cup, in Serie A and above all in the Champions League. Indeed, it has been in the Champions League that Inter has especially thrilled. The Nerazzurri beat Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals and won an extraordinary semifinal against Barcelona that saw 13 goals scored across two legs. Weve reached a wonderful milestone and played some incredible games, Inzaghi said, but we know one final step remains to fulfill a dream and make history.
