Jonny Nelson
jonny nelson Jonny’s career path has been anything but ordinary. Growing up in Preston, Lancashire Jonny grafted has way through local TV, before making a name for himself nationally in the world of entertainment reporting with ITV2. Having started his career in stand up, live radio and every obscure local event you could imagine, Jonny developed a panache for adapting quickly and hilariously to any situation. This unique talent soon led to him becoming a firm favourite on the red carpet and established him as one of the UK’s leading showbiz journalists. Whether disarming Hollywood directors with his passionate knowledge of film, soliciting laughs from comedy greats such as Will Ferrell and Ricky Gervais, or even achieving the near impossible of cracking a smile from Robert De Niro, Jonny was quick to establish himself as the go-to-guy for bold and entertaining celebrity interviews to remember. Backed by a degree in broadcast journalism, it is the combination of his comedic sensibilities and natural charisma that saw him picked up in 2016 by Premier League TV, joining the Kick Off presenting team to report live to tens of millions worldwide. With this sports background and an ability to inject a healthy dose of ‘funny’ into any genre, it was not long before Jonny’s presenting talents were utilised to front online content for digital colossus Give Me Sport, and Nickelodeon’s hugely popular show Nick Kicks. He is also one of the lead hosts of GOAL’s hugely popular Studs Up show. Throughout lock down Jonny began presenting regular entertainment news bulletin show FYI Extra.

Messi Et Ronaldo, Les Premiers Flops Du Mondial
Sport / Dossiers sportifs L’argentine et le Portugal éliminés dès les huitièmes de finale Messi et Ronaldo, les premiers flops du Mondial © D. R. Les deux joueurs ont peut-être perdu le Ballon d’or cette saison, une distinction qu’ils s’échangent depuis 2008, date de la première consécration de Cristiano Ronaldo. Lionel Messi et Cristiano Ronaldo ne se quittent jamais. Les deux meilleurs joueurs de la planète foot sont arrivés ensemble en Russie pour la Coupe du monde et vont devoir la quitter ensemble. Il n’y aura pas de choc entre quintuples Ballons d’or en quart de finale. L’Argentin était le premier à dire adieu à la compétition suite à un match à rebondissements face à la France, mais quelques heures après le Portugais l’avait rejoint en s’inclinant devant une rugueuse équipe uruguayenne. Les deux joueurs ont certainement perdu le Ballon d’or cette saison, une distinction qu’ils s’échangent depuis 2008, date de la première consécration de Cristiano Ronaldo. Depuis, le trophée changeait de main entre les deux joueurs. Messi s’est approprié les quatre suivants (2009, 2010, 2011 et 2012), repris par CR7 qui s’est adjugé deux consécutifs (2013, 2014), puis rebelote pour la Pulga (2015), avant que le Portugais ne remporte les deux derniers (2016, 2017). Une chose est sûre, le futur Ballon d’or ne sera ni Messi ni Ronaldo même si, en 2010, malgré une élimination prématurée en Coupe du monde, Messi avait remporté la distinction individuelle devant Iniesta et Xavi, champions du monde, ou encore en 2014, lorsque Cristiano Ronaldo avait bien soulevé le trophée en dépit de la victoire de l’Allemagne.

Rafael Benitez on World Cup 2014: Never Mind Neymar – Argentina Will Feel Loss of Free-Running Angel Di Maria Against Netherlands
Rafael Benitez on World Cup 2014: Never mind Neymar – Argentina will feel loss of free-running Angel Di Maria against Netherlands In his exclusive column for The Independent, the former Liverpool manager and current Napoli boss warns that the Netherlands shouldn't underestimate Argentina's tactical flexibility during their semi-final meeting Rafael Benitez Tuesday, 8 July 2014 We have heard a lot about the Brazilian favelas and Argentina has its special difficult conditions too. They call them the potreros. It is where they play football, normally on small pieces of land – irregular – and it is because of the difficulties that the players look for football to give them a way out. Don’t underestimate how the poverty has given Argentina the players it has. I have known a lot of them and I know that with Argentina there is a spirit which few other nations have. They have a very tough job now that we are into the last week of the tournament. Everyone has been talking about Neymar in the last three days but Argentina losing Angel Di Maria has consequences which could be just as serious – maybe we can say more serious – than Brazil losing their talisman. I’m talking about options. We have seen Alejandro Sabella, the Argentina manager, being very flexible with his tactics in the tournament. He started with a line of five in midfield in the first half of the first game against Bosnia. Then he went to 4-3-1-2, then 4-2-3-1, with Lionel Messi behind Gonzalo Higuain, my striker at Napoli, Di Maria on the right and Ezequiel Lavezzi the left – giving width.
