“I just accepted it, got my head down and worked at it. It took a good six or seven months for me to get used to it and to understand where to be on the pitch.
“Marcelo is a manager who is obsessed with football, and he’s obsessed with making the players he’s got the best they can be.
“I think it’s fair to say he’s done that with me in the last two years.”

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: The Dutch defender has joined Manchester City this summer after experiencing the drop with Bournemouth in July
Nathan Ake is the only member of Manchester City’s squad to have ever been relegated.
The Dutchman woke up from his nightmare season with Bournemouth to realise a dream £41million move to become part of Pep Guardiola’s plans.
Ake hopes to use the experience in the same way Holland team-mate Gini Wijnaldum became a Champions League and Premier League winner with Liverpool after suffering the big drop with Newcastle in 2016.
Whatever happens, the 25-year-old centre-back insists he has nothing to prove as he takes another step in a career that saw him quit the Feyenoord youth system to join Chelsea when he was still a schoolboy, before spending four years helping Eddie Howe’s Cherries punch above their weight.
Ake said: “I have not signed for City thinking I can prove all the critics wrong. I have already proved to myself that I have the ability to play at top level – and I love a challenge. I showed that when I was a kid playing in my hometown in the Hague and I moved to Rotterdam to join Feyenoord. I showed it again when I packed my stuff and moved to Chelsea.

“I have had to work incredibly hard to make it to the top – and I know I am ready. I have also achieved my dream of playing for Holland.”
City began monitoring Ake two seasons ago and were on the verge of making a bid last summer. And when left-footed Aymeric Laporte suffered a knee injury that kept him out for most of the campaign, it was to prove a critical decision.
While Liverpool took the title to Anfield, Ake was part of a Bournemouth defence that conceded 65 goals on the way down.
Ake said: “I was desperate to keep Bournemouth up – and we failed. We allowed too many goals against us and I was a defender in the team.
“Yet, apparently people judged my individual performances as alright. Maybe that is ability and experience, to make sure that you keep your own level up all the time.”

Ake was on holiday in France when the call came from City. Guardiola had spoken to Dutch coach Ronald Koeman about the defender. And the message back from the man who has just been made coach of Barcelona was that Ake was the real deal.
Ake said: “I had to pinch myself in the arm. I was thinking, ‘Is this real?’.
“When I heard they wanted me to come to Manchester I was bowled over. Manchester City are one of the best clubs in the world and Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world.
“I had a really good talk with Guardiola and there was an instant connection. The way City play really suits me. I have played against them so many times and I know how hard it is to face them.”
Image: REUTERS) REUTERS)
As soon as Ake signed his contract he began working with his new conditioning specialists at the Etihad.
He added: “I have been working with a physical coach for ages at City.
“I have been told to focus on several positions at the back, but that is fine with me.
“I am going for it. I have grown up in the Premier League in a brilliant way.”

thedailymirror--2020-09-05--Carragher warns Woodward and Man Utd they risk losing Sancho to Liverpool

Kop legend Jamie Carragher has warned Manchester United that they better pay Jadon Sancho ’ s £108million price tag this summer ... or Liverpool will fight them for the England star next year .
Carragher believes only the financial ramifications of the pandemic have prevented Jurgen Klopp from trying to hijack United ’ s bid for the Borussia Dortmund winger already .
And he feels United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is stalling on making a British record bid for the 20-year-old after wasting fortunes on failed signings like Alexis Sanchez , Angel Di Maria and Romelu Lukaku .
But Carragher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Sancho NOW – or battle Anfield for his signature .
Carragher said : “ United have got a clear run at Sancho now – but that will change if he ’ s still at Dortmund next year .
I ’ d be very surprised if Liverpool didn ’ t try to sign him next summer .
“ That ’ s why I think United will pay what they have got to pay .
“ When United have paid big fees for players in the past we ’ ve all laughed and said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again ’ .
People called Woodward a joke – selling clubs could always get an extra £10m or £20m from him .
“ Now Borussia Dortmund have asked £108m for Sancho .
And because United haven ’ t paid it straight away everyone is criticising them .
“ Woodward is damned if he does and damned if he doesn ’ t. ” Carragher has tipped champions Liverpool to be fighting it out with Manchester City again at the top of the Premier League this season .
But he added : “ I don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are as far away as people think .
One or two more signings could make that difference .
“ For me , signing Bruno Fernandes in January completely changed the club .
He came in and suddenly United were a completely different team .
That ’ s how close it is .
It could be that Sancho comes in and suddenly United are challenging for the title .
“ But unless United get a couple more in then I can ’ t see how they will challenge yet .
You need 95 points @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Liverpool can get that.
” And Carragher believes Liverpool are still in the driving seat to sign Bayern Munich ’ s midfielder Thiago Alcantara , 29 , who has been in outstanding form for the Champions League winners .
Carragher argued : “ The only worry that might put Liverpool off is Thiago ’ s age – but I think the signing will still happen .
Liverpool have a few players in the squad around 28 or 29 and that ’ s why the deal will have to be on their terms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thiago does is add something different to what Liverpool have in midfield .

Dominic Raab has played down the benefits of Covid-19 testing at airports , amid Labour calls for industry-damaging quarantines to be reviewed .

thedailymirror--2020-09-06--Marcus Rashford slams Tory MP who tried to blame food poverty on parents

England football star and food poverty campaigner Marcus Rashford has slammed a Tory MP for appearing to blame parents in poverty for struggling to feed their own children .
Thirsk and Malton MP Kevin Hollinrake suggested it is the responsibility of parents , not the Government , to ensure children did not go hungry .
Mr Hollinrake made the comment in reply to someone challenging him after he praised the Eat Out to Help Out scheme .
But one Twitter user challenged the MP leading to the bizarre comment .
They asked the MP : “ Whilst we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ footballer @ MarcusRashford to make a stand for the hungry children in our society ?
Is that not the Governments job ?
” Mr Hollinrake replied : “ Where they can , it ’ s a parents job to feed their children.
” But the reply was seen by the Mancester United star , who has launched a campaign to end child hunger in the UK after forcing Ministers to U-turn and give children on free school meals access to food in the summer .
Mr Rashford blasted Mr Hollinrake in a tweet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you to talk to families before tweeting .
`` To this day I haven ’ t met one parent who hasn ’ t wanted or felt the responsibility to feed their children ... '' Labour 's deputy leader Angela Rayner praised Mr Rashford for standing up for those in need .
She said : “ Boris Johnson 's out-of-touch Tories either have no idea about the impact of a decade of austerity on families across our country or they simply do n't care .
“ Tory MPs have a lot to learn from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who is using his platform and success to help millions of others who are less fortunate than himself .
“ With child poverty already at obscene levels , the Tories should focus on addressing the crisis of child poverty they have created.
” A Channel 4 reporter Rob Windscheffel commented : “ Throughout years of covering stories involving poverty I ’ ve met countless parents who wouldn ’ t eat in order to make sure their kids could have a meal .
`` But that ’ s the stark reality facing some families.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a taskforce to work with some of the UK ’ s biggest supermarkets and food brands to help prevent child hunger .
The Prime Minister ’ s official spokesman said Number 10 will “ carefully consider ” the recommendations from the taskforce .

Marcus Rashford has launched a campaign to end child hunger in the UK and slammed Tory MP Kevin Hollinrake for his comments
Anti-poverty charities, celebs and politicians last night rallied round Marcus Rashford in his row with a Tory MP over his comments on hungry children.
Kevin Hollinrake, who represents Thirsk and Malton, said it was the responsibility of parents and not the Government to feed children.
The Yorkshire MP, who co-chairs Parliament’s all party group on poverty, made the comment after praising Chancellor Rishi Sunak ’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
A Twitter user said the scheme had “undoubtedly been a success”, but added: “Whilst we’re discussing food, why does it take footballer @MarcusRashford to make a stand for the hungry children in our society? Is that not the Governments job?”
The Tory MP replied: “Where they can, it’s a parents job to feed their children.”

The reply was seen by the Mancester United star, who has launched a campaign to end child hunger in the UK.
Mr Rashford blasted Mr Hollinrake in a tweet that read: “I would urge you to talk to families before tweeting.
“To this day I haven’t met one parent who hasn’t wanted or felt the responsibility to feed their children...”
The Tory MP later replied: “Very happy to debate this with you in any open forum” - but refused to apologise.
Labour ’s deputy leader Angela Rayner praised Mr Rashford for standing up for those in need.

She said: “ Boris Johnson ’s out-of-touch Tories either have no idea about the impact of a decade of austerity on families across our country or they simply don’t care.
“Tory MPs have a lot to learn from Marcus Rashford, an exceptional young man who is using his platform and success to help millions of others who are less fortunate than himself.
“With child poverty already at obscene levels, the Tories should focus on addressing the crisis of child poverty they have created.”

The footballer had previously shared his own experiences of growing up hungry.
In a letter to MPs he wrote: “I remember the sound of my mum crying herself to sleep to this day, having worked a 14-hour shift, unsure how she was going to make ends meet.”
Candice Brown, 2016’s Great British Bake Off winner, sent a supportive message to Mr Rashford.

She said: “Wow such ignorance! Can you imagine not being able to to feed your child or having to make those sorts of choices for your family.
“Marcus Rashford you are doing such great things.”
Emma Cantrell, CEO of First Days Children’s Charity, tweeted: “It’s this type of ignorance that we encounter every day at First Days. We have also not come across a single parent who isn’t desperate to provide everything their children need – no one, NO ONE, is proud of having charity support.
“But it is so needed, so sadly.”
Alison Grainger, of the Hambleton Foodshare charity, which provides vital supplies to the needy in Mr Hollinrake’s constituency, said the remark was based on an assumption that everyone could afford to feed their children.
“It would be great if everyone could afford to feed their families,” she said.
“But it is not as simple as that. We have people come to us for a variety of different reasons. They are at a point in their lives where they are struggling financially.
“We had people who were setting up businesses at the start of Covid-19 who were hit. They could not open and then struggled for money.
“There were self-employed whose customers had not paid them what they owed. There were families hit by benefit delays, and you have people in relationship breakdowns.
“They can struggle to feed their children.”

Manchester United star Mr Rashford last week announced that he would spearhead a task force to combat child poverty.
The Thirsk and Malton MP was first elected in 2015, and was returned to parliament in 2019 with a majority of 25,154 votes.
The constituency is one of the countries more affluent, with just 1.7% of constituents claiming unemployment according to the House of Commons Library, and with 63.5% of residents owning their own home.
But according to to a report by the campaign group End Child Poverty in May 2019, 22.6% of children Thirsk and Malton live in poverty.
Mr Hollinrake was born into an ordinary family, his dad wad a milkman and his mum a social worker.
But he became very sucessful in the real estate business, and previously lived in Crayke Castle, situated in the village of Crayke.
When he listed it for sale for £3.5 million in 2008 he told The York Press that his children had enjoyed an “Enid Blyton-type existence” in the home.
In addition to his salary as an MP of £81,932, Mr Hollinrake declares an extra £50,000 in salary as the director of a property business he founded and in which he still owns shares.
He additionally owns, according to his register of interests, a third of four residential properties in York, and half of a fifth property, also in the city.
In January 2016, Mr Hollinrake voted down an amendment in Parliament which demanded that rental homes should be “fit for human habitation”.

Earlier this summer Manchester United star Mr Rashford was successful securing a U-turn from Tory ministers meaning that free school meal vouchers were provided to pupils over the summer period.
The 22-year-old has now teamed up with the food industry to shed light on the issue of child food poverty in the UK.
Along with Aldi, Asda, Co-op, Deliveroo, FareShare, Food Foundation, Iceland, Kellogg’s, Lidl, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose, he has formed the ‘Child Food Poverty Task Force’.
Over the next six weeks, the task force members will dedicate their platforms to sharing stories of those most affected by child food insecurity in the UK.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday morning last week, Rashford said: “We pretty much knew straight away that we’d found a short-term solution (with the free school meals vouchers).
“That wasn’t going to work in the long-run.
“We had to think about how’s the best way to do it so that these families can eat long-term and not have any issues.
“It took a bit of thinking, then we wanted to do it the best way that we could so we want to introduce the correct people into our group and see if using them can hopefully push it even more.’
Mr Rashford said the task force is endorsing three national food strategy policy recommendations.
In a letter to MPs, Rashford said the objective is to “see sufficient funds from the Chancellor’s Budget and Spending Review allocated to implementing these without delay”.
The first one is the expansion of free school meals to every child from a household on Universal Credit or equivalent, reaching an additional 1.5million kids aged between seven and 16.
The second is the expansion of holiday provision (food and activities) to support all children on free school meals, reaching an additional 1.1million children.
And the third one is increasing the value of the Healthy Start vouchers to £4.25 per week (from £3.10) and expanding into all those on Universal Credit or equivalent, reaching an additional 290,000 pregnant women and children under the age of four.
In his letter, Rashford wrote: “When we pause, listen and reflect on what the future of our next generation could potentially look like, it’s easy to see that if we don’t take action quickly, the issue of child food poverty will have devastating effects on the stability of our country.
“These children are the future - our next generation of NHS workers, police officers, footballers and politicians.”
Replying to Mr Rashford, Stef Williams wrote on Twitter: “Breaks my heart that people believe this. I didn’t eat for days on end so my daughter could.
“I researched what gave the highest vitamin intake in the cheapest possible way. Tinned spaghetti hoops, 20 years ago. She ate them for most meals.
“Thank you for highlighting the issue.”
