Ranieri already has his revenge: Leicester leader and 'Mou' with Drowning

Leicester confirmed their aspirations and closed the sixteenth day of the Premier League with victory over Chelsea flavored revenge, which climbs to the leadership of Claudio Ranieri and puts the team of Jose Mourinho just one point above the relegation zone.

Ranieri already has his revenge against the coach who succeeded him on the bench for Chelsea in 2004, and that, when they met in Italian football, joked about the age of the Roman coach and his difficulty learning English.

Now, coach Ranieri is currently in Leicester Premier and fashionable outfit, while Mourinho must respond every week to doubts about its continuity. As much as 'Mou' repeat that what is concerned is the distance to the top, you're forced to look down. The threat of relegation begins to fly over the "blues".

In the King Power, while the "foxes" were played to confirm that may be more than a surprise, Chelsea needed victory to show that we must not bury his title in a season that almost all fail.

But the current set of Mourinho's team a disoriented, with no clear pattern of play, with Cesc again in banquillo- and many problems with the goal.

True to its hierarchy, he dominated the entire first half but did not create more danger than a header from Nemanja Matic, the exit of a corner (M.36).

Nor he was lucky in the "exchange" of injury, because the output of Danny Drinkwater (m.16) was less traumatic for the opponent that Eden Hazard for the "blues", replaced by Pedro on the half hour of play.

Leicester had it clear, because it has a scorer in grace (Jamie Vardy) and a genius (the Algerian Riyad Mahrez). Between the two they have scored eight goals more than the entire Chelsea.

And between the two wins which has so far been the biggest haul of the season at the King Power Stadium. In 34, Mahrez took a cross to volley Vardy, ahead of the sleeping behind Chelsea. At the beginning of the second half, the Algerian franc advantage of the passivity of César Azpilicueta, down ball inside the area and sent away from Courtois.

Still lost, desperate, Mourinho ushered Cesc instead of John Terry and although Chelsea regained hope with a goal from Loic Remy head, a pass from Pedro (m.78), its overwhelming end harassment, with five extra minutes in injury time, did not help but to show the impotence of an assembly fails to set straight.

Ranieri secured a victory that will allow them to extend one of the questions that English football monopolize debates: Will it resist to the point of fighting for the title? The other Roman Abramovich to endure -how Mourinho- also gaining strength.

- Technical sheet:

2 - Leicester: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez (Inler, m.81), Drinkwater (King, m.16), Kanté, Albrighton; Ulloa, Vardy (Okazaki, m.87).

A stylised Coliseum in green, white and red of the Italian flag: the Rome bid committee for the 2024 Olympics unveiled its logo Monday at an event bringing together champions of the past and present and budding athletes.

This logo was presented to the Palazzetto dello Sport, a room of the Italian capital where were notably held during the 1960 Olympic weightlifting trials and basketball.

"I have in mind the 1960 Games With Cassius Clay with Abebe Bikila, or Italians, Nino Benvenuti (gold medalist in boxing, ed) or Livio Berruti (Olympic champion in the 200, note) that are here today, "said Luca di Montezemolo, chairman of the bid committee.

"Many of you who are here today will still be there in 2024 to try to win medals," he added, addressing the students of sports schools in the city in the gallery.

Livio Berruti, Olympic champion in 1960, was also arrested these students. "I want to say something to young people who are here. All these years, I was proud to say" the 1960 Games, I was there. "Think about it," he launched them .

"First, that the city of Rome, which organised fabulous Games in 1960, wants to organise the best Games of the 2000s was all to do, culture, beauty, technology and a city that wants take this opportunity to put in full light the eyes of the world, "he said.

"And it is also a message to our opponents, we want the Games and we will work night and day for you," he began. Rome is competing with Paris, Budapest and Los Angeles to host the Olympics in 2024.

Hamburg waived late November after a referendum in which the people have said "no" to the application project. Such a move is not expected in Rome.

No TV for athletes: Rio-2016, ready 80%, tightens its belt

No TV in the rooms of the athletes, VIP area reduced and fewer printouts: the Organizing Committee of Rio 2016 Olympic Games is not to exceed one cent on budget and is now tightening its belt in Brazil in full recession.

Thus, the rooms of the athletes will not have TVs and there will be only one position per apartment. The VIP area will be more modest than in other editions and paper savings will also be made with less printed material. It was even planned to remove the air conditioning in the Olympic Village, but before the chorus of protests, the idea was abandoned.

Brazil's economy entered recession in the second quarter, inflation reached 10% and unemployment is rising. This situation is different from the booming countries chosen in 2009 to host the first Olympics in South America.

"It will be the first Olympics that will have an intelligent management of costs, with a balanced budget. We will play games with the money we have (...) without leaving debts to the government or society," said AFP the communications director of the committee, Mario Andrada.

It emphasised that the cuts could be of the order of 5% -20%.

"Rio 2016 is ready today to 80% in April and it will be ready 100% and 120% during the games. This will be a spectacular Olympiad," the official added.

MLB: the legendary Pete Rose remains banned for life

The president of the Major League Baseball (MLB) Rob Manfred refused to lift the lifetime ban imposed since 1989 the former player and coach Pete Rose for betting on MLB games.

"It is not clear to me that Mr. Rose took the measure of his infractions of the rules," said the "commissioner" of MLB.

"Mr. Rose did not present clear evidence to show that he has changed some aspects of his life and he recognized his mistakes," he added.

Pete Rose has said in September during an interview with the boss of MLB that he continued to bet on the matches and championships of horse racing.

This deprives the lifetime ban to enter the Hall of Fame, celebrating the best players in history.

Aged 74 years, Pete Rose has one of the best track in the history of MLB with 17 participations in the All Star Game and three titles at the World Series (1975, 1976, 1980) with Cincinnati and Philadelphia.

Ajax KO, nobody takes advantage

It stops after seven match unbeaten march of Ajax, Eredivisie leaders. Lancers fall field dell'Utrecht in a sixteenth day marked by surprises. 

The most 'striking is definitely one of the Stadion Galgenwaard, where the hosts take head to the most' illustrious opponents throughout the game, before realizing three minutes from the ninetieth the deserved success, thanks to the Moroccan midfielder Yassin Ayoub . 

Another alarm bell for coach Frank De Boer, after the recent elimination in the Europa League. And it is fitting that slow down pursuers. First of Feyenoord, second in the standings and unable to go beyond the amount still on the tough field of Groningen. Hosts the lead on the 25th after a carom that rewards the readiness of Michael de Leeuw .

Lazio-Sampdoria 1-1: Zukanovic responds to Matri

Lazio and Sampdoria divide the stakes, but they leave behind the crisis and the bad game .In the first time the two teams do not offer a show exciting, to say the least. The difficult time is very striking and only Candreva trying to break the mold with his play. Then Pioli launches in field Matri , who invents the goal of benefit on a cross from Radu. The game seems to be able to conclude with this score, but time expired Zukanovic find the equalizer with a deflected free-kick from Felipe Anderson . Everything in the last ten minutes of the game.

OUT EDER AND MURIEL - Montella is forced to give up Eder, who is in the stands. For technical choice is not deployed even Muriel: Cassano in attack we are, Lazaros and Carbonero. Silvestre is not available even in defense. The rearguard was formed by Regini, Moisander, Zukanovic and De Silvestri.

Pioli chooses to change form, with Candreva and Djordjevic in support of Klose. Midfield thicker with Biglia, Parolo and Cataldi. Felipe Anderson is still on the bench. In defense there is the return of Konko on the right; Hoedt Gentiletti alongside the center.

LITTLE SHOW - That time the two teams is very delicate, it can be seen easily from the start of the game. It is played in a more Olympic inclined to whistle that inciting, and in the field are the errors and confusion to rule the roost. Sampdoria part very tight in defense, as if to wait for Lazio before heading out on the break. The hosts are more proactive, but struggled to create chances from the parts of Viviano.

ONLY Candreva - The minutes pass and the two goalkeepers are still not paying viewers of the game. Both the Sampdoria that Lazio, also for the respective changes of the form, they fail to baste actions of attack dangerous. The only one to try the bet is Antonio Candreva. His attempts, however, are too often isolated and personal. The Biancocelesti wing is definitely the last to surrender her.

ZERO IDEAS - The air does not change even in the second half. After returning from the locker room Pioli launches in the field Felipe Anderson to give a signal to the team. But the game did not change one iota, the two teams are afraid and can not shake. Sampdoria pay the absence of Eder and Montella decides to throw into the fray even Muriel, which at least gives the match a bit of unpredictability. Across Candreva he keeps trying to score alone, but did not succeed.

BOTTA AND RESPONSE IN THE FINAL - The game seems now channeled to a final discounted. Stefano Pioli guess though changing, fielding Matri instead of Klose. 78 'comes the lightning biancoceleste Radu sweep a great cross in the penalty area, the former AC Milan striker pounced on the ball and directs all'angolino, Viviano can not do anything but watch. Over here? Nah. Muriel starts a counterattack in time almost up, Berisha him down and gave a penalty to Sampdoria, who Zukanovic transformed with the deviation of the barrier. A final tie that perhaps serves neither to Pioli, nor in Montella.
