Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he has failed to convince Manchester United‘s Japanese playmaker Shinji Kagawa to return to Germany. Kagawa was considered one of the best players in the Bundesliga in Borussia Dortmund’s double-winning 2011-12 season. However, he has not had the best debut season at Manchester United, suffering various injuries and not getting enough playing time. There were rumours that Kagawa was unhappy at United, and that Klopp was trying to woo back his star midfielder, with whom he shared a close relationship, back to Borussia Dortmund....

Gerrard, who scored 186 goals in 710 appearances in a 17-year playing career at Liverpool that included nine major trophies, returned to the club as an academy coach in January after a stint at MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy. Klopp feared for BVB friends It has been reported this week that the 36-year-old will be put in charge of the under-18 side next season and, when asked about the plan for Gerrard, Klopp said: “There’s no announcement to do at this moment… but what I can say probably is… yes....

With the news that Noah will not be with the team until further notice, it is worth taking some time to game out how the different ways this separation can happen affect the Knicks’ salary flexibility moving forward.

How it wasn’t unanimous for the Pelicans’ Mr. Basketball, who got all but two votes, is the real head-scratcher. Moreover, there was one question that wasn’t included in the poll but might be the most critical one for the 2015-16 season: “Can Kobe Bryant and LeBron James dial it back to get their teams where they need to go?’’ MORE: Every team’s greatest strength for this season | PREDICTIONS: How will the playoffs shake out?...

In soccer, this is what it is called when a team goes entirely on the defensive: parking the bus. (In Uruguay, it’s called “Luis bit someone again," but that’s another story). This is not a common tactic for American teams, certainly not for THE American team, the United States national team. It doesn’t happen often in Major League Soccer, but only this past season London club Chelsea earned significant results in the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League by aligning itself almost entirely in front of the goal it was protecting, with a single striker available to pounce on any opponent’s mistake....

With Joel Matip ruled out, Klopp fielded midfielders Emre Can and Georginio Wijnaldum in a three-man defence - and it worked to good effect as Liverpool romped to a 5-1 triumph at Brighton. The front three of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Philippe Coutinho were all on song and their manager believes the late call on a change of formation played a big role. “We had no idea we were going to have to line up like this until [Friday’s] meeting and I’m pleased for the boys,” Klopp told Sky Sports....

Croatia mainstay Lovren raised eyebrows during the week when he claimed he deserves to be considered among the game’s finest in his position.

Klopp concurred with the assessment, although he admitted it was perhaps not Lovren’s call to make. “Yes. It would be better if somebody else would say that and not Dejan!...

United had to use all three of their substitutions before the interval at Old Trafford, as Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard were all forced off due to injuries. Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino also had his day ended early when he rolled his ankle in a contest that never really got going. The draw was enough to return Liverpool to the Premier League summit, but Klopp felt the enforced United changes wreaked havoc with his team, adamant it was two points dropped....

The Reds moved two points clear of Manchester City, having played a game more, thanks to a 90th-minute own goal from Toby Alderweireld in front of the Kop. Klopp was impressed with the support of the home fans after the disappointment of seeing Lucas Moura deservedly level the match following a first-half opener from Roberto Firmino. Indeed, Klopp thinks Liverpool’s sheer desire to win would be the key factor if they were to end their 29-year wait to become champions of England this season....

Not all strokes affect language function because the language centers of the brain are located in a relatively small region of the dominant side of the brain (the side of the brain opposite your dominant hand.) Even when a stroke affects the language area, there isn’t a consistent “first language” vs. “second language” pattern. What actually happens is that bilingual stroke survivors have better overall thinking and problem solving abilities after a stroke than stroke survivors who spoke one language prior to the stroke....
