Rafa Benitez was never troubled by Newcastle’s awful start, says Magpies winger Matt Ritchie
Rafa Benitez never panicked during Newcastles dreadful start to the season, winger Matt Ritchie has told talkSPORT.The Magpies were in crisis after failing to win any of their opening ten Premier League games, but back-to-back victories against Watford and Bournemouth appear to have kick-started their season.Benitez came under intense pressure during what Ritchie describes as a stressful period for the club, but the Spanish manager remained unfazed.2Thats one of his best qualities, how calm he is in all situations, Ritchie told talkSPORT.I think the bigger picture is definitely something he takes into account and the way he stays so calm.Wed gone nine games (sic) without a win at the start of the season, its a stressful period for everyone involved but the manager is the leader of that.He always believed in us and the players believe in themselves as well. Hopefully weve come through that now and we can kick on.Ritchie also paid credit to the Newcastle faithful, with both of their recent victories coming at St James Park.2The fans have been very good, especially Saturday [against Bournemouth], he added.You could see the first-half we were very good and the second-half we were hanging in a little bit.But we defended really well as a team and we were compact. The manager went to five at the back and we defended for our lives.He continued: The international break has come at a good time for us. We had a tough start, it was mentally draining, weve got two wins under our belt.Now we can just reset over the next few days and get some good sessions in us.

Charlie Adam wants Scotland unrest to ease after Nations League promotion
Charlie Adam wants unrest surrounding the Scotland national team to ease after their Nations League promotion.The Scots secured vital back-to-back wins against Albania and Israel to win their group, gaining a Euro 2020 play-off place.3But it hasnt been easy for Alex McLeishs stewardship with players commitment being questioned due to the high number of withdrawals in recent months.Kieran Tierney, John McGinn and Tom Cairney pulled out of this months games through injury, while Matt Ritchie has made himself unavailable for the foreseeable future.And, Adam, whose last Scotland cap came in June 2015, hopes his country moves forward after their Nations League success.There is a bit of unrest, players arent happy with the positions theyre playing or the formation thats being played, the Stoke midfielder told talkSPORT.Every camp, there seems to be a different formation. Some are unhappy playing four at the back, some are unhappy playing three at the back youve just got to get on with it.3Youre playing for your country, you should enjoy it. Thats the pinnacle. Getting to a major tournament is what they should be driving for.Hopefully, these back-to-back wins can settle the squad down and ease the little bit of unrest because theres definitely something inside the camp.Hopefully, Alex can get that sorted and we can move forward.McLeish was under huge pressure heading into these two Nations League games after losing in Israel last month.And these back-to-back wins could have saved his job.If he hadnt got these two wins, there would have been a bit of an ambush to get him out because people were divided when he came in, Adam, 32, added.3It is what it is. Hes a good man, everyone knows that, hell be happy going into the next set of games in the New Year.

Women’s World Cup 2019: Toni Duggan demands for Lionesses to receive same criticism as men’s team
Toni Duggan wants the Lionesses to be criticised in the same way the men are – stressing equal treatment must be in motion across the board.Speaking ahead of the start of the Women’s World Cup, the Barcelona forward has admitted she’s found encouraging remarks after international defeats a ‘bit patronising’ – and insists if it was the other way round the men’s team would be getting plenty of stick.getty1In the past, we might have lost a game and you get fans messaging you saying, Ah, dont worry, youve done so well and it can be a bit patronising, Duggan told the Times.Weve actually played badly and people are saying, Ah, were so proud.“Is it just because were the womens team, is it just because were girls? If that was the men you wouldnt be saying that. Duggan, 27, also wants to see a more raucous atmosphere around grounds when women are competing in this country, citing her contrasting experiences of playing in showpiece finals in both England and Spain.I played at the Wanda [Metropolitano in March] with 60,000 people for Barcelona against Atletico Madrid and we broke the record for attendance at a womens game, Duggan explained.Theres a picture of me celebrating and behind me theres a man putting one finger up.
