Former Man Utd star Dong finds calling in coaching Chinese kids
XIAMEN, China — Dong Fangzhuo smiles at the memory. It was Christmas, he was far from home and legendary Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson took pity on him by arranging a holiday get-together.The one-time Chinese star told the story in the coastal city of Xiamen, where the 34-year-old former United striker is coaching children, some with special needs.Dong admits that his time at Old Trafford from 2004 to 2008 was a tale of injury, crippling shyness and ultimately unfulfilled potential.But he has no regrets, calling it "a dream" to join the club he supported, and is discovering a new-found joy in passing on his football knowledge to China's next generation at the Dong Fangzhuo Football Club.Some are barely old enough to kick a ball, some have physical limitations, but...

Villa teaches Liverpool's kids a lesson to reach League Cup semis
BIRMINGHAM, England — Liverpool's youngest ever team suffered a harsh lesson on Tuesday as Aston Villa ran out 5-0 winners to reach the League Cup semi-finals, with Jonathan Kodjia scoring twice.An unrecognizable Liverpool line-up contained five debutants and an average age of 19 years, six months and three days with the European champions' first team and coaching staff, including manager Jurgen Klopp, in Qatar for their Club World Cup semi-final against Monterrey on Wednesday.That inexperience showed defensively despite a much better performance from the visitors than the scoreline suggests."I thought we were magnificent," said Liverpool's stand-in manager Neil Critchley."We were really unfortunate to concede from a free-kick and a cruel deflection and find...
