System stands for a progressive take on classicism. It is a collection that invites the wearer to playfreely and personally with items that are thought through and studiedly simple in design and cut in luxurious fabrications. Volumes are loose, colours are timeless. The pervasive sense of ease conveys an effortless idea of modern dressing.

Both the men’s and the women’s collections are presented today as models move around mirrored totems run with sequences of neon lights. The fluidity with which these individuals wander and confront one with the other in the industrial space mirrors the time-travelling, everything-is-possible mindset of the collection. Past, present and future mingle and merge in the now as classic elements morph seamlessly into futuristic ones. Sequence is the byword.

The mix of materials translates this assumption into a bold visual statement: shiny hi-tech or industrial fabrics are added up with matte, natural ones; a nylon blouson is united to a trench, meant to be worn as an under layer or as an external shell; parts taken from different sneakers are mounted into polymorphous new Converse styles. The look is futuristic, with a feel of classicism and an urban edge. Outerwear is strong in both volume and shapes, while tailored jackets have a refined appeal.

The pillars of the metropolitan wardrobe are given the subtle yet palpable System studios touch: leather jackets, denim or cargo pants, shirts come in sums of materials or reconsidered volumes. Assertive prints add another layer of meaning to the whole, suggesting futuristic scenarios with a vintage appeal. Traveling fast from past to future, a fluid present is defined.

Mauricio Pochettino has urged patience with Spurs’ big-money signing, with the Argentine aware that the Frenchman will need time to settle

Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham “cannot expect too much” from Tanguy Ndombele despite investing a club-record £65 million ($79m) in him.

Spurs spent big on the 23-year-old midfielder when luring him away from Lyon.

He has shown flashes of what he is capable of during pre-season, with there the promise of much more to come.

Pochettino is, however, aware that adapting to life in England can be “difficult” and has urged patience when it comes to Ndombele and his immediate impact in north London.

The Argentine tactician has said: “For him it’s difficult. We cannot expect too much.

“We need to accept he needs time to adapt to first a new culture, a new country, new habits.

“Of course it’s only him who arrived to the club and that makes it more difficult. When a few players are new they can help each other but it’s only him.

“We need to give him time but I am happy in the way he is adapting. He is open to improving and learning but needs time to [until we] see the best version of him.”

Pochettino has been freed to spend again this summer after two windows of no movement at Spurs.

Ndombele is among those to have been drafted in and there could be more arrivals before the Premier League deadline passes on Thursday.

Pochettino has hinted at further additions, although he has previously pointed out that recruitment calls lie outside of his control as head coach.

“I am happy with my squad,” he added    .

 “In every season we are always open to improve the squad and to try to find the right players to be stronger and better and there are still four days.

“We’ll see what happens in the next few days.”

Spurs are reported to still have a number of targets in their sights.

Fulham left-back Ryan Sessegnon has seen a switch across London mooted for some time and has entered the final year of his contract at Craven Cottage, while Real Betis midfielder Giovanni Lo Celso has been the subject of speculation regarding a move to England for much of the summer.

The Brazilian played his part in inflicting one of football’s most crushing defeats on the team that would eventually go on to sign him

Neymar has revealed that he predicted he would score two goals in Barcelona’s history-making 6-1 Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain back in 2017.

Trailing 4-0 after being humbled in the first leg in France, Barca returned to Camp Nou in need of a miracle.

And, after producing a sensational performance in the return meeting, they pulled off what seemed to be the impossible to put six past the French side and advance to the quarter-finals.

Neymar, however, claims that he always knew the Blaugrana would win at home and that he would play his part in turning a disastrous first-leg result on its head.

“Two of my friends said that PSG had a great team – and they did – and that they had already qualified, this and that…” the 27-year-old told DAZN.

“But I got up and said: ‘You are my friends, you work with me, but it seems you don’t believe we can turn this game around. We will reverse this situation, and I promise you two goals’.

“We had trained in the morning and I saw each player’s face. Everyone was happy, nobody was down or worried about reversing the situation against PSG. We knew it would be very difficult to reverse the game. 

“Our conversation was about playing football as it had always been Barcelona’s play to display good football, to turn a football game into a show. 

“We knew we would win. We didn’t know if we would go through to the next round, but we knew we would win because we knew we would play our part very well.

“When the game began, it started with a different vibe. I was challenging everyone, running more than ever. It was one of, if not the biggest match I’ve ever played in and one of the most emotional.

“We scored the first two goals quickly so we were thrilled. We went into half-time 2-0 up with two more goals to score. The team we had was different – we didn’t go about screaming in the dressing room. No, it was a conversation. 

“We were very calm, very focused, relaxed and the only conversation I remember having was: ‘Keep calm, let’s do it goal by goal’. We were not worried about going into the next round. I think that’s why we played really well that day. We were not desperate. We were quiet and focused.

“The atmosphere after the second goal was different. We saw that the fans were believing. They kept shouting, encouraging us.

“When we scored the third goal, it was Leo [Messi] who scored. I won the penalty, he scored it.  The fans were on fire and we thought: ‘Let’s go, now we’re going to go through’.

“At that moment, we suffered a blow, [Edinson] Cavani’s goal. When we conceded the goal, we saw everyone was half-hearted, doing that face: ‘We’re f*cked’. It became more difficult, it was practically impossible. Everyone thought we would score another, but now we had to score three.

“We still tried to keep playing our football, to continue to score goals, to see what would happen. We just hoped not to concede any more goals. One goal had already complicated things because we had to score three. Two? Forget about it.

“I still believed. I still wanted to score those two goals I promised to my friends. Oh, it gives me shivers, a lot of strong emotions definitely.”

With 88 minutes gone, Neymar curled a spectacular free-kick into the top-left corner to deliver the first half of his promise and take the score 4-1 in Barca’s favour, although it remained 5-4 to PSG on aggregate. 

Moments later, Luis Suarez won a penalty and it was the Brazilian who was charged with the responsibility to take it.

“I was going to give it to Leo, but Leo told me to take the penalty,” Neymar recalled. “He said: ‘No, you go’. I said: ‘Me?’ He said: ‘Yes, you do it’.

“My only thought was that I could not miss that penalty, because if I missed the penalty I would end the stadium’s dream of going through to the next round.

“It was the most I’ve ever focused on a penalty, and thank God I managed to score. I kept the promise of two goals. That was the moment I thought we had it. I asked Leo: ‘Why did you let me take that penalty?’

“He said: ‘I felt at that moment that you would score the goal, that you were more confident’. I think he had that feeling, and it turned out alright. The penalty brought the possibility, the strength, to score the sixth goal.”

Only seconds remained of second-half injury time as Barca pushed for a match-winning strike and it was Neymar himself who engineered the move to send Sergi Roberto through on goal to complete one of the greatest Champions League comebacks ever.

“In that game, the most striking goal was Sergi Roberto’s,” Neymar said. “It was the goal that made us go through. It’s the goal that will be remembered in history and I’m happy to have made the move, but his goal was special – that’s when the Camp Nou exploded. 

“That was the most important goal. I think that, in terms of excitement, in terms of making everyone crazy, that was one of the most important goals in Barcelona history.

“I wasn’t crying, I was over the moon! It was crazy. I had never seen Camp Nou like that. After the sixth goal, the explosion was huge, both for the players and the fans. It was something that I don’t think I’ll ever live through again.

“That’s why I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.”

The left-back has outlined the big aspirations that last season’s Champions League winners have for the coming campaign

Andy Robertson is aware that Liverpool’s players have big expectations to live up to this season, but is confident they will again be involved in the Premier League title race.

Manchester City pipped the Reds to the trophy by one point on the final day of last season, although Liverpool’s tally of 97 points was the highest ever by a second-place team in a 38-game season. 

Robertson started in all bar two of Liverpool’s league fixtures last term, including the nine-game winning streak at the end of the campaign, which was still not enough to overhaul City in the table.

The left-back also started the club’s Champions League final win over Tottenham and he is keen for the triumph in Madrid not to be seen as the climax for this ambitious group of players.  

“We don’t want to be a team that only won the Champions League,” Robertson told BBC Radio 5 Live. “We want to leave a legacy and win more trophies. ” 

The Scotsman lamented the fact that the club missed out on top spot in the league despite their highest ever points total.  

“We set records that will probably never be done again and we still fell short,” Robertson added.  

He believes that the players are capable of matching last season’s efforts in the league again this time round, saying: “We believe if we do what we did last season we will be in the race again.” 

Liverpool finished 25 points ahead of third-place Chelsea but the 25-year-old predicted that more teams will vie for top spot this season.  

“Last year, from the turn of the year, it was probably a two-horse race but I do believe it will be more competitive at the top this season,” he continued.

“I think the teams behind us have improved in the market. Whether the signings are successful is another thing but they are trying to close the gap.” 

Jurgen Klopp has been quiet in the transfer market this summer with teenagers Sepp van den Berg and Harvey Elliott, and reserve goalkeeper Adrian, the only arrivals, but Robertson is unconcerned by the lack of high-profile signings.  

“Everyone wants new players coming in and sometimes it’s not possible. We have a very good squad.” 

Liverpool open the Premier League season at Anfield on Friday night with a match against newly-promoted Norwich.

Aged 70 she was working 20 hours a day in a
hospital just to make ends meet.

Now at 75, Choi Soon-hwa is an unlikely fashion star and model in South
Korea, one of a handful of seniors who have become social media and fashion
celebrities in a country where intergenerational conflict is mounting as the
population ages.

“I think of having this job at this age as a miracle,” Choi says.

She is now the oldest professional model in the South, and has walked
runway at Seoul Fashion Week. It is a far cry from her life even just a few
years ago when she was a care worker, forced to take long shifts often seven
days a week.

“It was hard to even get myself lunch. The stress was excruciating — it
was as if a volcano was about to erupt inside me,” she confesses adding that
she was in heavy debt and all her earnings were spent paying off loans.

Around 45 percent live of older people in South Korea live in relative
poverty and the country has one of the weakest social safety nets among
developed nations.

By chance Choi saw a TV commercial about senior models and saw an
opportunity to make a change.

She decided to enroll in classes and was snapped by agency The Show
Project
and made catwalk debut soon after.

When she worked at the hospital, she says she had to dye her hair as
patients didn’t want someone who “looked too old” to look after them. Now
her
pale locks have become an asset to a new generation of designers who value
distinctiveness.

Life of hardship

“I make clothes for those in their 20s and early 30s,” explains Kim
Hee-jin, a 32-year-old designer who hired Choi for her Seoul Fashion Week
show
last year, where the senior model donned a bright purple padded jacket,
red-flame tights and a dress adorned with an English-language obscenity.

“There is something very unique about Choi — she has a quality that is
different from anyone else (in her generation), and I thought it goes well
with the kind of originality that I strive to achieve when making clothes,”
she adds.

This echoes a new-found trend in Western markets, where brands now choose
models who reflect the diversity in society and social media.

In the past five years, catwalks globally have seen greater age diversity
and models such as Jacky O’Shaughnessy, Jan de Villeneuve, and Elon Musk’s
mother Maye Musk, making names for themselves as fashion stars in their 60s
and 70s.

South Korea’s elderly have lived through Japanese colonial rule, the
Korean
War, severe post-war poverty and the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis.

“This country was very poor when I was young,” says Choi, who confesses
she
grew up admiring clothes worn by children at orphanages — children in such
establishments in post-war South Korea were the beneficiaries of donations
from the US.

Her adult life was also one of hardship.

After her husband abandoned her and their two children — simply leaving
home one day and never returning — she was forced to juggle working full
time
while being a lone parent in a nation that can be hostile to single mothers.

“During my years as a single parent of two kids I would wear the same
clothes for as long as 20 years,” she adds.

Demographic crisis

Today South boasts a 43 trillion won (US$ 37 billion) fashion industry
but
Koreans aged 60 or older spend an average of 38,000 won (US$33) a month on
clothes and shoes, while those under 40 spend three times as much.

Now in her mid seventies, Choi says her generation had been “forcing
themselves to be too frugal” and says now is the time to try and live her
own
life.

Choi and other older celebrities have captured the imagination of South
Korea’s youth and garnered large numbers of acolytes online, providing a
small
link between generations that are increasingly divided both politically and
socially.

Fellow senior model Kim Chil-doo, age 64,has some 75,000 followers on
Instagram, while 72-year-old Park Mak-rye, whose posts include make-up tips,
is a YouTube sensation with more than 400,000 fans.

But with the nation facing a demographic crisis, and the ratio of elderly
to those of working age set to soar, tensions are mounting.

Usage of derogatory terms to describe senior citizens — such as
teulttakchung, meaning a “denture-wearing insect” and yeongeumchung, a
“pensioner insect” — has become more common.

A study by the state-run Human Rights Commission found more than half of
those aged 19-39 were worried measures to encourage job creation for the old
would reduce opportunities for the young.

But for many older people, making a life change like Choi is not “even
imaginable” says Michael Hurt, a sociologist at the University of Seoul.

He adds: “Opening a social media account while photographically
documenting
yourself all the time isn’t something they know even exists, let alone
something that they would actually do.” (AFP)

Sent off in the Copa America final, the Brazil international has been banned for two months by continent’s governing body

Brazilian star Gabriel Jesus has been handed a two-month international ban by CONMEBOL for his behaviour during the Copa America final last month.

The 22-year-old scored and provided an assist before being sent off in Brazil’s 3-1 win over Peru at the Maracana on July 7 – which was the ninth time the Selecao had won South America’s championships.

The Manchester City forward remonstrated with Chilean referee Roberto Tobar after receiving a second yellow card for barging into Peru’s Carlos Zambrano  before pushing the VAR monitor and crying in the tunnel .

South America’s football governing body announced a two-month ban for Jesus on Wednesday, in a statement saying “the player is suspended to play official and friendly matches with his national team in that period of time.”

They decided that Jesus broke Articles 7.1 and 7.2 of the Disciplinary Rules for “behaving in an offensive, insulting or defamatory manner of any kind.”

Jesus was also fined $30,000 and is set to miss friendlies against Colombia and Peru in September, but has seven days to appeal the sanctions.

The news won’t affect his Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who now won’t have to send his player on international duty during the next window.

Jesus has often been injured during his time at City, including a metatarsal fracture that kept him out for 13 games in 2017 and a knee issue which saw him miss 12 games in 2018.

With City possessing only one other natural striker in the squad, in Sergio Aguero, Guardiola will likely be happy for the rest Jesus receives instead of having to fly to South America.

City begin their Premier League campaign on Saturday with an away trip to West Ham, before matches against Tottenham, Bournemouth and Brighton prior to the September window.

Meanwhile, Copa America champions Brazil were fined $15,000 and warned for the behaviour of their fans at the tournament they hosted.

It has been a busy period post-Copa America for CONMEBOL, with Argentina star Lionel Messi and Chile’s Gary Medel also receiving bans and fines.

Messi was given a three-match suspension after suggesting in comments their was ‘corruption’ at Copa America .

The Valencia forward will return to the Spanish capital as he prepares to become the latest addition to Diego Simeone’s first-team squad

Atletico Madrid are set to complete a €60 million (£56m/$67m) deal to sign Valencia star Rodrigo Moreno.

Sources close to the negotiations have revealed to Goal that a move is expected to become official in the next few days.

Rodrigo’s agent Jorge Mendes’s positive relationship with Valencia owner Peter Lim helped push through a deal, with the 28-year-old adding to what has already been a massive overhaul at Atleti this summer.

Both Everton and Napoli were also keen on signing the player but it’s Atleti that have won the race.

His arrival will prove timely, with Diego Simeone’s side having announced that Diego Costa suffered a thigh injury in the friendly win over Juventus that could see him miss the start of the season.

Rodrigo has spent the last five seasons at Valencia, and enjoyed a stellar 2017-18 campaign, scoring 16 goals and adding four assists in La Liga.

That helped Los Che to secure a fourth-placed finish and a return to the Champions League for the first time since 2015-16.

His goal total dropped last season, but Rodrigo still managed eight goals while adding six assists for Valencia, who finished fourth once again, while chipping in with two Europa League strikes as his side made the semi-final.

Rodrigo also scored the decisive second goal for Valencia as they defeated Barcelona 2-1 in the Copa del Rey final.

Originally born in Brazil, Rodrigo has featured for Spain at international level, and has been capped 17 times, scoring five goals.

He will add to a squad that has seen a major overhaul this summer, with star forward Antoine Griezmann making his long-rumoured departure for Barcelona, while Lucas Hernandez headed to Bayern Munich, Diego Godin to Inter and Rodri to Manchester City.

Simeone’s side have, however, brought in many high-profile reinforcements, with the biggest name being former Benfica star Joao Felix, who has enjoyed a hugely productive pre-season.

Rodrigo originally came through Real Madrid’s youth system, featuring for their B and C squads though he never made a first-team appearance for the club.

The arrival of the former Bolton Wanderers loanee will likely to see Atleti step up their attempts to offload Nicola Kalinic and Angel Correa, meanwhile, with Rodrigo adding to an attacking line that includes the likes of Alvaro Morata, Costa, Felix, Thomas Lemar and Vitolo.

The German equalled a Reds icon as the club matched its best league run of the modern era with a narrow win at St. Mary’s

Liverpool equalled one of the club’s own Premier League records on Saturday while Jurgen Klopp surpassed a club legend to a record of his own.

The Reds topped Southampton 2-1 on Saturday at St. Mary’s as goals from Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino continued the Reds’ perfect start to the Premier League campaign.

Last year’s Champions League winners were able to survive a howler from goalkeeper Adrian, who gave the ball straight to former Liverpool forward Danny Ings in his second start in place of the injured Alisson.

Still, Liverpool overcame the error to win their 11th consecutive Premier League match with the team’s most recent loss in the league coming in that infamous January 3 defeat to eventual champions Manchester City, the Reds’ only defeat of the 2018-19 campaign.

Since then, the team has rattled off 11 consecutive wins, equalling their best-ever winning streak in the competition.

That streak is level with the run put together by Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool between February and April 2014, a season where Liverpool also fell short to Manchester City in the title race.

The former Spurs manager has hinted that the Brazilian star has lost some of his shine playing in France

Marseille coach Andre Villas-Boas believes Neymar’s move to PSG has seen him stumble in his quest to potentially succeed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the world’s best footballer. 

In total, Neymar has managed 51 goals in 58 games for PSG – who opened their latest title defence with a 3-0 win over Nimes without the 27-year-old.

But the Brazilian’s time with the club has been impacted by injury and, more recently, transfer speculation which has seen both Barcelona and Real Madrid circle for him . 

While Neymar’s future is far from clear, Villas-Boas claims his move to PSG has seen the attacker fail to build upon the promise he showed while at Camp Nou. 

“He is an important player in the world of football. For me, it was the player who could succeed Ronaldo and Messi for the Ballon d’Or. But he did not recover all the qualities he had shown in Barcelona,” Villas-Boas said. 

Despite that claim, the Marseille coach conceded Neymar’s potential departure from France would leave a big hole to fill. 

“For Ligue 1, it’s not good if he leaves,” Villas-Boas said.

“This type of player has an important image in football, a bit like when Ronaldinho was here in Paris.

“There’s this attractiveness, the football world wants to watch these kinds of players. I don’t know what’s going to happen, I can’t comment on the separation because I’m not the PSG coach.”

As it stands, Barca have finally opened face-to-face negotiations with PSG over a move for Neymar, though a potential deal still appears to be some way off. 

While the Catalans are willing to offer Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Rakitic as part of the transfer, the Parisians are reportedly keen on getting Nelson Semedo. 

With the tug of war over Neymar ongoing, the player himself has been left sidelined with PSG fans turning on their star player during the club’s season opener . 

Though fan sentiment has taken a turn, PSG coach Thomas Tuchel has stressed Neymar remains crucial to his cause. 

“He was very decisive for us. If we lose Neymar, maybe I will not sleep,” Tuchel said on French TV show Canal Football Club . 

“Because it would be hard to lose him and find another player who can do the same things for us. Maybe no news is good news.

“It’s hard not knowing. Because I want him at home. But we have to find solutions without him too.”

After spending last season on loan at Stoke, the Wales international found a new club, joining the Robins on a short-term deal

Former Everton defender Ashley Williams has joined Bristol City on a short-term deal, the Championship club have announced.

Williams was available on free transfer after having been released by the Toffees following the end of the 2018-19 Premier League season.

Bristol City announced Williams has joined on a deal through January, with an option to extend it that month through the rest of the year.

Williams spent last season in the Championship, on loan at Stoke City playing in 33 games for the Potters, making 27 starts and scoring one goal.

“I’d like to offer Ashley a very warm welcome,” Bristol City manager Lee Johnson said in a statement. “His experience will be invaluable, both on and off the pitch, and we’re all looking forward to getting to work with him.”

The 35-year-old Wales international has enjoyed spells in the Premier League with Swansea and Everton during a long career which began at non-league club Hednesford Town before moving to Stockport County.

Williams made the move to Swansea in June 2008 for £540K and would spend eight seasons with the Welsh club, seeing their rise from League One all the way to the Premier League.

He also earned silverware with Swansea, capturing the 2012-13 League Cup with the Swans.

However, prior to the start of the the 2016 season, Williams made the £12.7 million ($15.6m) move to Goodison Park.

Williams featured 36 times for the Toffees in his debut season for the club scoring a goal. However, his playing time dipped in his second year with Everton, featuring in just 24 games for the club.

With no place in the Everton squad last season, Williams made the season-long move to Stoke where he featured 33 times for the Potters, who finished 16th.

Overall, Williams has made 241 appearances in the English top-flight over his time with Swansea and Everton, scoring six times.

Bristol City have earned seven points from their first four Championship matches of the season though they have already been eliminated from the Carabao Cup, falling to QPR on penalties.

They face Hull City on Saturday, looking to make it three wins in three straight games.
