Parker will savour Cherries’ sweet success
Bournemouth boss Scott Parker wants to enjoy every second of his side’s Premier League promotion.
Kieffer Moore’s late strike secured a 1-0 victory over fellow high-fliers Nottingham Forest last night, sealing the Cherries’ second-place Championship finish in the process.
Former Fulham manager Parker, 41, only replaced Jonathan Woodgate last summer and intends to take time to reflect on his impressive achievements during a memorable maiden campaign at the Vitality Stadium.
Parker said: “I struggle to enjoy moments. Every other day you then think about what’s next. It’s the same now.
“But I said to my family after the last time I got promoted with Fulham, that I’m going to enjoy the moment a bit more.
“I want to enjoy this moment. We’ve created an amazing memory for me, the family, the players and the young players have created an amazing memory and we’ll enjoy it.”
Ten Hag perfect for Red Devils
Brighton defender Joel Veltman believes his former boss Erik ten Hag is the “perfect match” for the Manchester United hotseat.
Seagulls star Veltman, 30, played a key role under Ten Hag at Ajax during a stint which included a league and cup double in 2018-19, as well as reaching the Champions League semi-finals.
The Dutch manager, 52, will take charge at Old Trafford this summer and Veltman believes his countryman can bring the good times back to the struggling Red Devils.
Veltman said: “I think it’s a good choice only because he’s tactically really good and I think that’s the most important thing that they need right now
“They have the major players. Every player showed already they are amazing and can perform well in this league at the highest level, so they just need a gaffer who is like, ‘Guys, you have to do this, this and this’.
“He needs time of course, but I think he’s probably the perfect match.”
Foxes must embrace Roma challenge
Brendan Rodgers says his Leicester players must try to enjoy their daunting trip to face Roma in the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday.
The Foxes held Jose Mourinho’s men to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final last week to leave the tie delicately poised.
But with a ferocious atmosphere expected in the Italian capital, the Serie A side are favourites to progress — not that Rodgers is throwing in the towel.
The Northern Irishman, 49, said: “You have to go and enjoy these nights. We knew we were going into tough environments at this level.
“This is another step forward mentally in the maturation of the team. It’s a very young team to be playing at this level.
“We have to embrace the challenge. We have won games before in these circumstances so we will look to go out there with no fear.”
The winners will face either Feyenoord or Marseille later this month in the final, with the Dutch outfit 3-2 up going into tomorrow’s encounter at the Stade Velodrome.
