thedailymirror--2020-08-11--Solskjaer's role changes that are bringing the best out of Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial is enjoying the best season of his career so far , with the Manchester United striker thriving under the man-management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer .
Eyebrows were raised when the Norwegian went all in on Martial as his No.9 last summer , selling Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan and foregoing a direct replacement .
Martial had only intermittently played centrally during 2018-19 under both Jose Mourinho and then Solskjaer following his mid-season arrival , spending the majority of his time out on the left .
But this season , with faith placed in him to lead the line @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his manager , Martial has been reinvigorated .
Again he proved crucial in United 's 1-0 win over Copenhagen in the Europa League quarter-final , winning the penalty from which Bruno Fernandes converted the extra time winner .
A mixture of last-ditch challenges , fine goalkeeping and some unusually errant finishing denied him adding a 24th goal to his total this term .
But throughout he was United 's best player , his sharp movement , touch , speed and dribbling ability causing untold problems to the Danish side 's defence .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2018 , where he wanted to depart Old Trafford having fallen out with Mourinho , the man who had initially taken away Martial 's No.9 shirt , handing it to Zlatan Ibrahimovic .
To some that kind of thing is n't a big deal , but to others it can be massive , a sign that they are n't trusted ; for Martial it was the latter .
Solskjaer has done a fine job to build Martial back up gradually - including giving him his No.9 shirt back - and is reaping the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Martial work at his game .
If he wants to be the No.9 , he has to learn how to be the best No.9 he can possibly be .
After taking last season to take stock , the summer saw Solskjaer set about creating a structure in which both Martial and Marcus Rashford can thrive this term , while helping their team in the best way possible .
But far from being about greater freedom than under his predecessor , it was about streamlining the approach , stripping away the excess that did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As the Norwegian declared last month , that has meant Martial buying into his strategy , with a stricter focus on movements that keep him within the widths of the 18-yard box , rather than heading back to the left touchline for needless touches and leaving the central area vacant .
`` Within a framework and structure , we do work a lot on patterns and positions and where we want the players to be , '' said Solskjaer in July .
`` But within that we understand that you might pop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or be in different positions , but we have to fill different positions .
`` There has been too much , last year , sometimes this year , players want to gravitate over to the left , and go on there and play tippy-tappy football .

While he still prefers to drop between opposing right-backs and right-sided centre-backs - enabling him to come in on his right foot - rather than going right himself , he is no longer drifting over to the left touchline , placing at time three or four men between him and the goal .

With Lukaku gone , the No.9 position has become his domain , with Marcus Rashford operating from the flank .
And with Solskjaer 's constant push for him to remain central , to not waste time and energy , and their work on the training ground on how and when to attack areas and timing runs in the final third , the ex-Monaco man has increasingly prospered .
He still drifts to the left more than the right , but now rather than going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ putting three or four bodies between him and goal , he is increasingly keeping himself tied to the width of the penalty area , with only one or two men to beat when he receives possession .

Additionally , and again unsurprising , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he is now getting more touches in the penalty area .
In the nine Premier League games between January 1 and lockdown beginning Martial enjoyed 33 touches inside the penalty area .

During yet another UK heatwave, you might be tempted to reach for a cold drink. But here's why a cup of tea may be a better option in order to cool yourself down, according to science
Drinking hot tea during heatwave really does cool you down, according to science
This week, temperatures across the UK are continuing to soar, and a drought has officially been declared in several places.
While you might be tempted to reach for a cold drink to help cool you down, surprisingly hot drinks such as teas and coffees may actually be more effective.
A study in 2012 by researchers from the University of Ottawa looked at the effect of drinking hot drinks on body temperature.
The results revealed that a hot drink can cool you down, but only in dry conditions.
Speaking to the Smithsonian Mag, Dr Ollie Jay, one of the authors of the study, explained: “If you drink a hot drink, it does result in a lower amount of heat stored inside your body, provided the additional sweat that’s produced when you drink the hot drink can evaporate.”

Essentially, when you ingest a hot drink, you start sweating more. If the sweat is able evaporate, it actually cools you down, more than compensating for the added heat to the body from the fluid.
While sweating can be embarrassing, it’s an essential bodily function to help keep us cool.
As the sweat evaporates from the surface of your skin, it removes excess heat by converting the water from a liquid to a vapour.
However, in humid conditions this cooling effect is less effective, so drinking hot drinks won’t help to cool you down.
Dr Jay explained: “On a very hot and humid day, if you’re wearing a lot of clothing, or if you’re having so much sweat that it starts to drip on the ground and doesn’t evaporate from the skin’s surface, then drinking a hot drink is a bad thing.
“The hot drink still does add a little heat to the body, so if the sweat’s not going to assist in evaporation, go for a cold drink.”
Overall, the lesson learned is that in hot, dry conditions, drinking hot drinks will cool you down, but if you’re in a humid location, it’s best to stick to cold beverages.

Looking for other ways of cooling down? These warm nights can make it hard to sleep.
The NHS highlights the importance of staying cool indoors.
Their advice reads: "Close curtains on rooms that face the sun to keep indoor spaces cooler and remember it may be cooler outdoors than indoors."
If you're going outdoors, remember to drink plenty of fluid and avoid excess alcohol.
Try to keep out of the sun between 11am to 3pm, stay in the shade, and apply sunscreen regularly.

A teen has been found guilty of killing a 15-year-old boy on a bus with a 10-inch knife after a `` trivial '' row on Snapchat .

She told jurors : `` They armed themselves with those hunting knives to go hunting Baptista and ( his friend ) .
`` This was not a spontaneous attack .
The evidence shows he had a knife with him and a balaclava to cover his face and at least one latex glove to handle the knife . ''

Another boy was stabbed in the arm and leg but survived.
He later told police that the attack had followed some inter-school banter on Snapchat a couple of weeks earlier.
He said the "school beef chat" had started out in fun ahead of a football match.
One of the defendants had sent Baptista a message saying: "If you've got no bodies on your blade, leave the group chat."
Baptista allegedly replied: "Shut up. You'll be the first."

Prosecutor Deanna Heer said it was a "shocking case" and "almost unthinkable" that the defendants could have armed themselves with hunting knives over "something so trivial".
She told jurors: "They armed themselves with those hunting knives to go hunting Baptista and (his friend).
"This was not a spontaneous attack. The evidence shows he had a knife with him and a balaclava to cover his face and at least one latex glove to handle the knife."
The teenager who wielded the knife had admitted the manslaughter of Baptista and unlawful wounding of the other boy.
But he denied the more serious alternative charges of murder and wounding with intent, claiming he only took the knife to scare Baptista and cause a minor injury.
He told jurors he could not remember what he did to Baptista on the bus.
The second defendant accepted that he was on the bus, having tapped in with his Oyster card and been caught on CCTV.
He denied "tipping off" the other 16-year-old, telling jurors he had no idea what his friend was going to do.
His barrister, Kerim Fuad QC, told jurors: "Anyone who was or may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, and unaware that another person would actually seek to do something so crazy as to come on to a bus in broad daylight, take out and use a knife in the way we see, should be found not guilty."
After the stabbing, his client was in "pure panic, living a dawning tragic realisation as to what his close mate had done", Mr Fuad added.
The jury of 10 women and two men deliberated for just under 22 hours before reaching verdicts on Tuesday on both youths, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

thedailymirror--2020-08-11--PC says she was 'brainwashed' into sex games while on duty with married sergeant

A police officer claims she was `` brainwashed '' into sex games while on duty with a married sergeant - including having sex at their station .
PC Jemma Dicks , 28 , told a disciplinary hearing oral sex with Sergeant Adam Reed , 40 , was n't forced but `` it was clear what he wanted '' .
She said she took full responsibility for her actions and regrets what happened as she battles to save her career .
PC Dicks admitted she was `` flattered by the attention '' of Sergeant Reed when she started working under him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a ten-month affair .
But she said performing such acts was a `` massive mistake '' when they were discovered .
Reed has since quit the force after admitting a foot fetish and station sex .
PC Dicks told a disciplinary hearing : `` I was brainwashed by everything he told me .
I was head over heels for him .
`` The oral sex was n't forced but it was clear what he wanted .
He pushed me down to show me what he wanted and I complied with what he asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responsibility .
It was a massive mistake and I really regret what has happened . ''
PC Dicks first had sex with Reed at his family home in Cardiff while his wife Alexandra , 45 , was away .
But he then allegedly demanded oral sex at the main Cardiff Central station - including in the force 's private bar and kitchen .
PC Dicks said : `` Reed convinced me that he was vulnerable .
He would say to me that he was vulnerable but no one would see it like that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he was a sergeant . ''
The hearing was told Reed took a photo of PC Dicks performing oral sex on his mobile phone - but she denied knowing about it .
She said : `` Reed did send a picture on Whats App .
All I recall seeing is a penis in the bottom corner .
`` It was n't something I wanted to receive so I deleted it .
`` In his text messages he joked that he had taken a picture .
He had quite a warped sense of humour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
Breaking down in tears PC Dicks said : `` I just want to express how remorseful I am for what I have done . ''
Presenting officer Barney Branston said PC Dicks was `` portraying Reed to be a bogey man , the big bad wolf '' - and that she is the `` innocent victim '' .
But he said : `` Text messages exchanged was flirty banter between two adults .
You did n't put a stop to it . ''
The misconduct hearing was told PC Dicks confessed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ locations and dates '' over the ten-month fling .
PC Dicks admitted to senior officers of the `` multiple occasions '' for the oral sex while on shift together .
But Reed - who has since left the South Wales force - told his wife it happened just once as the pair were working together .
PC Dicks is now battling to save her career by saying their sex games are not a sacking offence .
She told how the pair began an affair after kissing outside a nightclub , then having sex @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oral sex in their police station .
The hearing heard PC Dicks completed several years of training for her dream job and applied to join South Wales Police in May 2015 on the advice of her dad .
The two officers then began having sex from November that year for ten months , until it ended .
Their affair came to light after Sergeant Reed was accused of taking sneak photographs of another woman officer 's feet with PC Dicks in his station sergeant 's office .
Sgt Reed was challenged about taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and later admitted having a `` foot fetish '' .
Both now face a disciplinary hearing with top brass from the South Wales force for `` discreditable conduct '' for their sex games in the main Cardiff Central police station .
PC Dicks argued that her breaches of professional behaviour only amounted to misconduct - and were not gross for a sacking offence .
The disciplinary charge reads : `` It is alleged that PC Jemma Dicks has breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour relating to Duties and Responsibilities and Discreditable Conduct and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` It is alleged that on various dates between November 2017 and August 2018 PC Dicks gave PS Adam Reed oral sex in various locations at Cardiff Central Police Station . ''
Sgt Reed is accused of three charges of discreditable conduct , including when another woman officer was due to take a statement from PC Dicks in his office .
The charge states said : `` Whilst this officer was sitting in his office addressing that matter he used his mobile telephone to take a number of photographs of her feet .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ her consent .
He has since disclosed that he did so because he has a foot fetish . ''
Reed is also accused of having oral sex with PC Dicks at the station and – during the middle of their affair in May 2018 - of having sexual intercourse with another unnamed serving PCSO while on duty at Cardiff Central .
The disciplinary hearing by South Wales Police being held in Pencoed , near Bridgend , continues .

PC Jemma Dicks, 28, admitted she was "flattered by the attention" of burly Sergeant Adam Reed, 40, but told a disciplinary hearing she regretted what happened at the main Cardiff Central station
