Heung-Min Son's second-half strike earned Tottenham an important 1-0 away win against CSKA Moscow in Champions League Group E on Tuesday.

Spurs, who lost their opening match at home to Monaco, were made to wait at the Arena CSKA but Son popped up with his fifth goal in his last five appearances to seal their first points of the European campaign.

Dele Alli had earlier struck the woodwork as Mauricio Pochettino's side dominated their Russian opponents, who were largely restricted to shots from distance.

Tottenham travelled to Russia missing several first-team regulars, including Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Moussa Dembele, and Pochettino made two changes from Saturday's victory over Middlesbrough, with Kieran Trippier and Erik Lamela recalled.

The visitors swiftly took control, monopolising possession and creating the better opportunities.

Alli was unfortunate to see his long-range strike hit the crossbar, while Toby Alderweireld headed straight at Igor Akinfeev and Vincent Janssen had a goal correctly ruled out for offside.

CSKA Moscow, second best throughout, nearly went in front when former Man Utd winger Zoran Tosic curled over having been given the freedom of the Spurs penalty area.

Son, who scored both goals in the win over Boro, grew into the game after the break and only a last-ditch block by Georgi Schennikov prevented him from opening the scoring on 53 minutes.

Janssen, leading the line in the absence of Kane, then dragged his best opportunity wide and the introduction of Georges-Kevin N'Koudou for the Dutchman proved to be the spark Spurs required.

They took the lead through Son four minutes after the substitution as the South Korean latched onto Lamela's pass and fired in his third goal in two games.

He had the chance to make it four in two immediately after, but Schennikov again denied the in-form Spurs forward.

The hosts struggled to make inroads into a Tottenham defence well screened by Victor Wanyama, and a long-range strike by Roman Eremenko was the best they could muster in the closing stages.

Victory for Pochettino's side gets them up and running in Europe, while they now turn their attention to a Super Sunday clash with Premier League leaders Man City.

ZOUMA - Would you let him leave on loan next season

 

Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero openly admitted he is "trying to get Kurt Zouma" this summer as he looks to strengthen the physical presence of his team. I ask Chelsea fan read this if you think you should consider letting him go on loan?

 

Zouma impressed everyone with his performance in defense and, surprisingly, also in the role of defensive midfielder (just ask Marouane Fellaini) this season. He answered the call and made a real name for himself with fans taking to heart.

 

However, at least for next season (and I would have to believe that this is the case of JT signing a new contract for one year) Zouma would have to settle for a place on the bench behind Gary Cahill and new JT as They seem the preferred choice of Jose Mourinho.

 

So where does that leave Zouma? It would be used in the same way next season by the manager and introduced to the side to play a key role in the games That's enough to Zouma when you have to play regularly to help in its development?

 

Besides the interest of the president of Sampdoria. Good talk recently, Massimo Ferrero revealed that he intended to appoint the legendary goalkeeper Walter Zenga as their new manager following the departure of Sinisa Mihajlovic and affected Zouma main objective.

 

His particular interest is as it seems and Sampdoria would be able to offer regular first Zouma football team in what will be a season with major European leagues all to come next year.

 

Players must be playing football regularly if they want to be considered for the tournament and I can not see that Zouma settle for the same stage this time at Chelsea.

 

Personally, I let myself go for a loan, because we cover defense season. Branislav Ivanovic defender Cesar Azpilicueta can play with the movement of the right side. Filipe Luis, if I could not still play left back or if the reports are correct, they could sign of Toby Alderweireld athletic and can play on the left or in the middle of the back.

 

What do you think we should do about Zouma Let him go on loan or play much next season at Chelsea? If so, it is instead of the band

 

I am interested in reading many of your opinions

Asia Unites Against Poaching

Representatives from 13 Asian countries committed to immediate action to stamp out poaching at the conclusion of a four-day symposium hosted by the Nepal government in Kathmandu from February 2-6, 2015.

The Symposium: Towards Zero Poaching in Asia adopted five recommendations:

  • Swift and decisive action to elevate the importance and effectiveness of antipoaching initiatives and cooperation among all relevant ministries, departments and agencies within their borders, while at the same time strengthening international cooperation in the face of this serious criminal activity.
  • Adoption of the Zero Poaching Tool Kit and assessment of current antipoaching responses to determine improvements and close serious gaps.
  • Increase and improve collaboration as a successful antipoaching response is critically dependant on effectively engaging a diverse number of shareholders
  • Improve standards, training and support for rangers, other frontline staff and prosecutors.
  • Commit to identifying a Zero Poaching national contact point to effectively coordinate transboundary efforts to stop poaching.

Tika Ram Adhikari, Director General of Nepal’s Department of Wildlife Conservation and Soil Conservation, said: “Nepal was proud to host this vital conversation in Asia because we recognize that poaching is robbing us of our wildlife wealth, which includes tigers, rhinos and elephants. We cannot allow wildlife crime to continue to wrap its tentacles deeper into the region. Our individual efforts may win us a few battles, but we can only win the war if Asia presents a united front to stop the poaching, end the trafficking and wipe out demand.”

Mike Baltzer, Leader, WWF Tigers Alive Initiative, said: “This is the beginning of the end for poaching across Asia. WWF is proud to have supported this landmark meeting and is committed to be part of the new determined movement for Zero Poaching in Asia.”

Nepal was the natural host for the symposium having achieved zero poaching for two years in the past four years. At the symposium, representatives from local communities, protected areas as well as enforcement agencies shared their lessons lea

At the closing ceremony, Nepal’s legendary Chitwan National Park (CNP) also became the first global site to be accredited as Conservation Assured Tiger Standard (CA|TS).Despite the threats that CNP faces, the protected area has seen an increasingly effective management and protection regime. This further demonstrates the commitment of Nepal towards zero poaching.

Thirteen Asian countries participated in the symposium: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Russia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Lao PDR. Partner NGOs and other organisations included IUCN, TRAFFIC, CITES, UN Office on Drugs and Crime, US Department of Justice, SMART Partnership and Southern African Wildlife College.

WWF co-hosted the symposium with Global Tiger Forum, National Trust for Nature Conservation and the South Asian Wildlife Enforcement Network.

The symposium provides valuable direction on tackling poaching in advance of the Kasane Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade to be hosted by the Botswana government on 25th March 2015. This meeting follows the London Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade hosted by the UK government in February 2014, where 41 governments committed to taking “decisive and urgent action….” through the agreed declaration.

Revista de la Liga Manchester City players confident of bid for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Graham Hunter

The Real Madrid star's future has been ferociously debated over recent months, coinciding with his drop in performances for Carlo Ancelotti's side.

And speaking on Revista de La Liga, Hunter says his future is still not certain, but admits the decision will always lie with the player rather than the selling club.

Manuel Pellegrini's City were knocked out of the Champions League by Real's rivals Barcelona last week

"I know that the players at Manchester City were talking very, very firmly that they believed there was a successful move coming from that club over the last couple of weeks," said Hunter.

"Whether that makes it true or not, I wouldn't like to say.

"What we know is the mega clubs, with petrodollars, there's never been a better time to say: 'Well, would you like to cash in on your chips?'"

"Ultimately, it will always be down to the player. When you are No 1 in the world, he will decide."

Graham Hunter on Ronaldo

Ronaldo fuelled speculation upon picking up the Ballon d'Or in January, saying "only God knows" where his future lies, despite insisting he was happy at Real Madrid.

But with the tag of 'world's best player' comes power, and Hunter says Ronaldo will have the final say on any transfer out of the Bernabeu, rather than the Los Blancos bosses.

The Spanish football expert added: "Ultimately, it will always be down to the player. When you are No 1 in the world, he will decide. 

"I don't think he has decided to leave yet."
