He needs defenders and there arent that many around. Conte is reportedly set to join Chelsea after Euro 2016 Capello has extensive experience of working in foreign countries and says Conte should make familiarising himself with the language a priority.His communication with the players will also be fundamental, said Capello.I myself had a difficult experience in Russia (when managing the national team), where I always had to speak through a translator.It was not easy, because the players always expect that extra word from the coach, the decisive statement to let you understand or change something.

NEW YORK -- A series that began Thursday with the New York Mets hoping to close the gap on the Washington Nationals in the National League East will end Sunday with the Mets merely hoping to get back to where they were Thursday -- and the Nationals striving to return to where they were 12 days ago.The Mets and Nationals will close out the first half Sunday with the finale of a four-game series at Citi Field. Washington won its second straight game Saturday, when former New York second baseman Daniel Murphy went 3-for-4 with four RBI in a 6-1 victory.With the win, the National League East-leading Nationals (53-36) increased their lead over the second-place Mets (47-40) to five games.

He took the defeat on Tuesday, when he gave up three runs over six innings as the Nationals lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-2.Fortunately for Gonzalez, he will be pitching in a place he has enjoyed plenty of success. Gonzalez is 7-1 with a 1.53 ERA in 12 career starts at Citi Field, where he allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings in earning the win in his most recent outing May 18.Gonzalez is 10-5 with a 3.04 ERA in 19 career starts against the Mets.
