Haaland’s presence allowing City to evolve under Guardiola

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:24:32 GMT

The arrival of Erling Haaland has given Manchester City one of the most formidable scorers ever seen in English soccer, with his presence enabling manager Pep Guardiola to evolve his tactical approach in the biggest games.Guardiola will always prefer his teams to dominate possession. “Maybe one day they will change the rules,” he once said, “but I think to score a goal you need the ball.”Guardiola, however, is no longer wedded to the possession-based philosophy that was the hallmark of his trophy-laden time at Barcelona, as well as at Bayern Munich and City.Just look at City’s most important matches this season.In an away game at Premier League title rival Arsenal in February, City had only 36% possession — the team’s lowest figure in 11 years. City won 3-1.In the two legs against Bayern in the Champions League quarterfinals, City had 44% possession at home last week and 42% in Germany on Wednesday. City won 3-0 then drew 1-1 to advance to the semifinals with plenty to spare.It’s no...

EU lawmakers endorse pact to revise migration rules

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:24:32 GMT

EU lawmakers on Thursday gave the green light to a central plank of the EU’s flagship migration package, the latest sign of progress on long-stalled reforms. The European Parliament measure endorses new rules seeking to speed up the return of migrants who entered Europe without permission and to prevent these migrants from traveling to other countries within the EU.And it strikes a middle ground on the contentious question of whether countries will be required to take in asylum seekers from fellow EU members — a step EU border countries traditionally favor but others often oppose. The approved text only foresees such “mandatory relocations” in emergency situations, which Brussels would determine, with all other relocations being voluntary.“This is the most important shift to make sure that we can come to an agreement with member states,” said MEP Tomas Tobé, one of the lawmakers leading on the legislation for the center-right European People’s Party (EPP), referencing the ...

Top EU court condemns Poland over noise pollution

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:24:32 GMT

The Court of Justice of the EU Thursday condemned Poland for failing to implement EU noise pollution law at the national level. The Environmental Noise Directive establishes recommended maximum noise levels and asks countries to collect data on noise. It also requires governments to develop action plans to tackle noise pollution, including for areas where the recommended levels were not exceeded. Warsaw failed to adopt noise action plans for such areas within the required timeframe, the court found. The government also failed to translate into national law a requirement that these plans include measures to preserve “quiet areas,” it said.According to the court, the country also has not drawn up the required action plans for 13 major railways and 247 major roads, and has not submitted summaries of action plans for 16 other major roads. The European Commission’s Zero Pollution Action Plan sets the goal of reducing the share of people “chronically disturbed by tr...
