November 12, 2024. Sport news round-up / last 24 hours

Soccer dominates the recent news flow. The matches of Romania's Superliga, the evolution of the players, the joys and frustrations of the coaches have created the last few hours of Romanian football, while, on the international scene, Mircea Lucescu's national team is preparing for the League of Nations matches and Manchester United is waiting for Ruben Amorim, the coach who is coming to turn the ship of the Red Devils around. Elsewhere, the Champions League got off to a spectacular start.

HOME FOOTBALL

• CFR/Oțelul Galați: CFR win 1-0 against Oțelul after a close, unspectacular game. Oțelul of Dorinel Munteanu, does not find himself and is far from the surprise team at the start of the season.
• FCSB: FCSB's victory over U Cluj has generated positive reactions from football people. Romania's U21 coach Daniel Pancu said he was impressed with the way the red-and-blues won in Cluj, showing valor and maturity. Gigi Becali's team also had words of praise for the U Cluj coach, who called them "the most valuable and fit team" in the championship.
• Petrolul Ploiești: Petrolul beat Gloria Buzău 1-0 and becomes a serious candidate for the play-offs.

FOTBAL International

• Romania's national team: The Tricolor are preparing for their Nations League matches against Kosovo and Cyprus. Mircea Lucescu has changed the mentality of the players, who also want to win these two matches and finish the group in first place.
• Ruben Amorim/ Manchester United: Ruben Amorim is leaving Sporting Lisbon and preparing for Manchester United. The coach has left a strong impression in Portugal, and in his last game in charge of the Portuguese side he pulls off a spectacular comeback from 0-2 down against Braga, beating them 4-2 in the end.

Transfers

• Ianis Hagi: Although not enjoying the best period of his career, Ianis Hagi is wanted by teams in Europe's top leagues. French side Strasbourg are interested in the Glasgow midfielder's services and want a permanent transfer.

TENIS

• Sinner: Sinner dominates the ATP rankings, and is creating a spectacle at the Champions Tournament, despite being embroiled in a doping scandal, similar to Simone Halep.
