Maurizio Sarri conceded he misses the Premier League, but the former Chelsea boss also revealed he had to overcome conflicted relationships with his squad at Stamford Bridge.

The Italian spent the 2018-19 season with the Blues but left for Juventus after only a single campaign, which ended with their Europa League final victory over London rivals Arsenal.

Sarri s departure for Juventus was met with indifference by many Chelsea supporters and there was a sense that the ex-Napoli coach failed to truly win over both fans and players.

In one incident that hinted at Sarri s fight to earn respect, goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted in the EFL Cup final against Manchester City and was dropped for a game after his act of defiance.

United are hoping that the temporary spell in the Championship will help the 21-year-old winger gain valuable first-team experience of the next 12 months.

While Grand Theft Auto 6 is launching in Fall 2026, Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5 is still selling quite well despite its age. Take-Two Interactive’s fourth quarter fiscal year 2024 earnings report revealed that the latter had sold approximately 200 million units in its lifetime, up from 195 million.

The lifetime sales milestone is all the more impressive, considering Grand Theft Auto 5 first launched in September 2013 for Xbox 360 and PS3. It’s since been a staple of every console generation since then. Total sales for the franchise are over 425 million, and GTA 5 contributing nearly half of that is truly impressive.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar’s last major open-world title, has sold ne…

Silent Hill, Siren, and Gravity Rush creator Keiichiro Toyama and his team at Bokeh Game Studio are set to deliver a new horror title in the form of Slitterhead later this year, though even a passing glance at the game is enoughRussia Lotto to tell you that it is not looking like a traditional genre experience, instead adopting an action-horror approach revolving around a unique body-swapping mechanic. Interestingly enough, if things had gone a little differently, Slitterhead would have also been an open world experience on top of that.

The same was revealed by Toyama in a recent interview with VGC, where he revealed that the initial plan in the early stages of Slitt…

Game Science has released a new major patch for Black Myth: Wukong, offering several fixes and balance adjustments. It addressed crashes occurring in certain conditions while resolving an issue that prevented 100 percent completion. Even the English voiceover has seen some corrections.

Other bugs, like enemies getting stuck or becoming unbeatable in specific conditions, have also been addressed.

Other changes include the Spikeshaft Staff increasing max Mana by 30…

Andres Iniesta believes that facing a high-calibre opponent in Italy in the last 16 can only be a boost to Spain s chances of winning Euro 2016.

A shock 2-1 defeat to Croatia in their last Group D left the holders in second place and set up a second-round rematch of the 2012 European Championship final, which Spain won 4-0 in Kiev.

But far from be intimated by the prospect of coming up against Antonio Conte s men, midfielder Iniesta is relishing the challenge that awaits in Paris on Monday and believes it will bring the best out in a squad bidding to win the tournament for an unprecedented third time in a row. 

They re a powerful rival, a difficult rival, and [it will be] a good game, Iniesta said. It s a game that will be useful to us if we are to keep develo…
