Fulham winger Ryan Babel explains why he failed to fulfil his potential at Liverpool
Ryan Babel believes he has unfinished business in the Premier League following his move to Fulham.The former Liverpool winger, 32, failed to reach the dizzy heights expected of him during a four-year spell at Anfield between 2007 and 2011.3Since leaving the Reds, his somewhat-mixed career has taken him to Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Spain and Turkey.Now, he is a regular in Ronald Koemans resurgent Holland squad having rejuvenated his career at Besiktas.And Babel, who joined the Cottagers on a short-term deal, has offered an explanation for his previous shortcomings in England. Ive done so much in my career but a little part of me feels I still have unfinished business here in the Premier League, he told The Guardian.For me it is a good challenge and I want to take this chance to see how I do now.Ive said in earlier interviews maybe I should have stayed one or two more years in Holland.3I wanted to develop well and as they promised me back then before I joined just to be given the guidance I needed to become a better player.“That didnt happen and for a lot of different reasons I didnt fulfil my potential I guess.I had been living with my parents so it was the first time living abroad and by myself.There are lot of things coming at you at the same time different country, different culture.Youre basically by yourself and you have to make sure you deal with it as good as possible. That wasnt always the case [with me].3All things considered, Babels Liverpool spell was far from terrible – he scored 22 goals in almost 150 appearances after joining from Ajax at the age of 20.However, controversy often appears to follow the Dutchman around.In 2011, he posted an image of referee Howard Webb wearing a Manchester United shirt on Twitter, and in 2015 he shared an angry message criticising his own fans at UAE side Al Ain.There were a lot of things that bothered me, that were written about me, like my mentality was not supposed to be good, he added.I was young and I did a lot of things besides football, whether it was being involved a little with music.Then they took that part way out of proportion, that I was being more busy with music than with football.

Sir Alex Ferguson aims cheeky dig at Gary Neville following Manchester United legends’ win over Bayern Munich
Sir Alex Ferguson jokingly made fun of Gary Neville following Manchester United legends’ 5-0 win over Bayern Munich.The anniversary game marked 20 years since the treble-winning campaign, while also raising over 1.5m for the Manchester United Foundation.Fans got a chance to enjoy a match at Old Trafford this season, something that has not happened much in recent times, as a number of legendary players, such as David Beckham, Japp Stam, Paul Scholes and Dwight Yorke, pulled on the famous shirt once more.getty1While United edged past Bayern with two late goals in Barcelona back in 1999, the scoreline was far wider this time around, as efforts from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Yorke, Nicky Butt, Louis Saha and Beckham earned them a 5-0 victory.One United legend who was struggling to hit the target was Sky Sports pundit Neville, who showed his lack of prowess in front of goal, firing wide when well placed, leaving Ferguson and his assistant Steve McClaren laughing on the bench. The right-back, who netted seven times in 602 appearances for United, spoke about his lack of fitness and what his former manager told him after the match.“You couldnt shoot 20 years ago son! Why the hell you trying today?” Neville wrote on Instagram.Were finished physically to be honest with you, you watch the lads in the Premier League and theyre amazing, he told BT Sport.I watch them every week and you feel how far you are away.My mind knows what to do but my body isnt taking me there and thats why were all retired.

Tottenham 1-0 Chelsea: Mauricio Pochettino bemoans controversial use of VAR in Carabao Cup victory
Mauricio Pochettino has criticised the use of VAR despite it coming to Tottenham’s rescue in Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg win over Chelsea at Wembley.Harry Kane slammed home a penalty after being scythed down by Kepa Arrizabalaga, with the video assistant referee ruling the England striker had stayed onside in the build-up.4The decision means Pochettino’s side take an advantage to Stamford Bridge for the January 24 second leg, but the Spurs boss was less than satisfied.Pochettino told a post-match media conference: “It’s a system that sometimes kills the emotions. Today it was an advantage for us, but I didn’t celebrate because we were waiting five minutes.”Pochettino had earlier told Sky Sports: “Of course I am pro-technology because you cannot stop evolution.

“I think it is not clear what are the rules. Before they start to use it I think we need to be clear how we are going to use it and to all agree – the clubs, the players and the coaching staff. If not it’s going to be difficult.”Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri thought the decision was wrong and said the assistant referee’s actions in stopping running contributed to his players’ belief that an offside would be given against Kane.“From the image from our camera, Kane was offside, clearly offside,” Sarri said. “But it’s not important. I think it’s more important that the linesman stopped the run, he didn’t follow the ball.Sky Sports4Sky Sports4“So for the players on the pitch, it’s clearly offside. He had a big influence on our defenders.”Sarri had not seen the official VAR footage, only images from Chelsea’s own camera.In his Sky Sports interview, Sarri questioned whether English referees were able to use VAR properly. “At the moment I think that English referees are not able to use the system,” he said.“I think they have to study the system. Of course, it’s very strange that in the Premier League there isn’t and in the Carabao Cup there is the system. Strange for us, the players and I think also the referees.”Sarri felt Chelsea deserved more from the game.4He said: “I’m really disappointed with the result, but I’m really happy with the performance.“We played with a very good level of application, of determination, with the heart, with the soul. We played in this way with continuity for 95 minutes.”Callum Hudson-Odoi started and performed well amid repeated links with a big money move to Bayern Munich.Of the 18-year-old, Sarri said: “He played like a player of 25, 26 years, I think. A very good match.”
