Brattan, in possession, to play on after seeing the referee w

Melbourne City might have lifted the FFA Cup last week with a win over Sydney FC but they expect Saturday nights A-League encounter with the ladder leaders to be a whole lot harder.Defender Michael Jakobsen says his second-placed side will walk onto the ANZ Stadium pitch with an angry opponent confronting them.Its going to be tougher now, he said on Tuesday.They want to have revenge after their defeat and they play at home. Theyre going to come out 100 miles an hour.In a season of transformative change and tumult at Melbourne City, Jakobsen has slotted in to be one of the constants.He has missed just one match since arriving in Australia and announcing his arrival with a stunning bicycle kick in Citys 4-1 FFA Cup quarter-final success.As Citys lead defender, Jakobsen has had his own challenges given coach John van t Schips see-sawing tendencies between a back three and a back four.Jakobsen said the tactical switch-up was another string to Citys bow, and they wouldnt be disclosing their plans ahead of kick-off against the Sky Blues on Saturday.In the Cup we were playing a back three and (three days later in the A-League) against Brisbane it was a back four, he said.In Scandinavia (a back three) is not that common. Im not used to that. I was in Spain, we did it a bit.But when I came here I was open to new adventures and to learn new stuff so its perfect to try to play that way.Against Brisbane on Saturday night, Jakobsen found himself at the middle of the diving controversy surrounding Bruno Fornaroli and Jade North.The Roar defender has since apologised for diving in an incident van t Schip believed was designed to get his captain sent off.Jakobsen was the player who urged Luke Brattan, in possession, to play on after seeing the referee wasnt going to call a foul.It paid off, with Nicolas Colazo netting the equaliser for City.The referee was standing above him and if hes not whistling then we have to keep on playing, he said.I saw the situation, (North) was right in Brunos face after he went down and I dont like that kind of mentality.Jakobsen - who has played in Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain throughout his career - dismissed the notion that Australian football had a diving problem.Ive seen worse. When I played in Spain it was hilarious sometimes, he said.You get a small knock and someone falls over like someone tried to take out their legs. Its not a big issue here. Cheap Bobby Cox Jersey .

Final leaderboard Open de Espana The Finchley-based golfer carded a final round of 70 at Valderrama to finish one over par and a shot ahead of Hollands Joost Luiten, with Garcia another stroke back following a closing 67.That was the lowest score of the day as the world number 16 took advantage of the calm and overcast conditions. Garcias 67 was the best score on the final day at Valderrama But the 36-year-old was left to rue missing from 10 feet for an eagle on the 17th and a bogey on the last.Its great, Im pretty speechless and so happy with the way I played, Johnston told Sky Sports.I drove the ball well all week, chipped and putted pretty well but struggled a bit with my irons the first three days. I just kept going and digging in and found something on the fourth.I hit one four iron as a lay-up and hit it straight out the middle and was like Okay, there you go, thats the feeling, and I managed to keep that going the whole way through.

Garcia had raced to the turn in 32 and also birdied the 12th, but his hopes seemed to have disappeared when he failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker to bogey the 15th and fall three shots behind with three to play.However, with his friend and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale looking on, Garcia holed from 30 feet for birdie on the 16th and picked up another shot on the 17th, only to bogey the last after getting a flyer from the rough and seeing his approach sail over the green.
