Mauricio Pochettino has told Chelsea to trust him and his staff over the handling of the club’s young players who are dealing with new levels of scrutiny.
He is an open book, Jack Grealish. Sponsors love him because he brings such authenticity to those commercial shoots and, for the community and charitable arms at Aston Villa, Manchester City and England, there is a genuine warmth and sincerity to his interactions with fans and the public alike. What you see with Grealish is what you get. Charming, lovable, charismatic – above all real.
Hugo Ekitiké scored his first goal for Eintracht Frankfurt to help it to a 3-1 come-from-behind win over Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Friday. Signed on a 3.5 million euros ($3.7 million) loan from Paris Saint-Germain in January, the center forward finally broke his duck in his 12th appearance. Ekitiké’s goal was a low shot in off the post from 15 yards out.
