Luxa is according to Chinese after resignation and will receive $ 20 million

Vanderlei Luxemburgo reached agreement with the Chinese leadership after the resignation of Tianjin Quanjian the last weekend . The technician will receive EUR 5.2 million (R $ 20 million) in installments until December by breaking the bond. Luxa has scheduled return to Brazil next week and has not set the sequence of career.

The 12-month contract was signed for a total of 10 million euros (about US $ 40 million). The coach's salaries were approximately R $ 3.3 million per month. The agreement with China is only in the payment of wages from July to December.

If he had chosen to leave the Tianjin Quanjian, Vanderlei Luxemburgo would have to reimburse the Chinese with the same value. After the resignation, the leaders refused to afford the amount, but relented after a few meetings.

The top hats sold the club modernization project last year, but what Luxa and Brazilians saw in Asia was a modest structure and well away from promised.Patience has run out and the new project was on the way.

Why Luxembourg was fired?

In addition to poor results (the team had not won eight games), the Brazilian coach would have been boycotted by the Chinese, according to physiologist Claudio Pavanelli, which he took to Asia to help you.

Pavanelli, as well as five other professionals linked to Luxembourg, had already been dismissed in a sign that the Quanjian the board did not tolerate the Brazilian methods. The physiologist praised the work and highlighted the commitment but felt resistance from some Chinese players.

"We saw that some athletes did not behave as we wanted," he said. "They had that before behavior, dedication in training and games, something that hindered our work. In order to really get the championship, we had a little more strength to implement our work. Why, we do not really You know."

Brazil takes advantage of the weak Haiti and get a win

Brazil thrashed Haiti (7-1) in the second round of the Copa America and met forecasts Caribbean to a weak selection, which was completely overtaken by the bands and the quality of men and Phillippe Couthino, author of three goals, and Dani Alves, who gave the assistance of two others.

Portugal plays in England in the second and main test for the Euro-2016

Portugal faces on Thursday England, in what will be the main test for the finals of Euro2016 and in which the picker Fernando Santos does not count on the European champions Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe.

The two Real Madrid players, key pieces in 'chess' the picker, only join the work of the selection on Sunday after they won the Champions League for the 'meringues', at the end of last week.

On the other hand, Nani and Bruno Alves, who failed the first test, with Norway, will already be available to Fernando Santos, who should make some changes in the 'eleven' that will start the match at Wembley Stadium.

Moreover, in Tuesday's training it was possible to glimpse the possible options for the confrontation with the British, particularly with regard to the defense and the midfield.

On defense, Ricardo Carvalho should be the one to repeat the title against Norway (3-0), making the sector with Vieirinha, Bruno Alves and Elisha, who can get to the places of Cédric, José Fonte and Raphael Guerreiro, respectively.

In what concerns the midfield, and assuming that Fernando Santos will keep the focus on 4x4x2, João Moutinho and João Mário appear to be 'untouchable' in the 'eleven' Luso while Adrien and Danilo, who entered during the meeting with the Norwegians, may appear in place of William Carvalho and André Gomes.

The attack, still an 'orphan' of  Cristiano Ronaldo , will be the sector that arise biggest questions with Quaresma, Eder, Nani and Rafa to fight for the two remaining spots, and the first two won 'points', with goals scored to Norway.

As for the goal, the picker can give possibility to Rui Patrício, who leaves for France with the holder status, or Eduardo, since Anthony Lopes kept the 'networks' national in the first test.

In the second preparation match for the Euro2016, Portugal will have to go to England, which will also be present at the final stage, being included in group B along with Russia, Wales and Slovakia.

The British, led by the experienced Roy Hodgson, were first classified in Group E qualification, despite being the only European team to get a campaign 100 per cent record with 10 wins in as many games.

The English team is one of the strong candidates for a place in the final of Euro2016, having a set of international-class players, especially in attack, which included names like Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool ), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City) and the young Marcus Rashford (Manchester United).

The meeting England and Portugal is scheduled for 19:45, at Wembley Stadium in London.

Euro 2016 Italy squad in full

According to Gazzetta:

Goalkeepers: Buffon (Juve), Marchetti (Lazio), Sirigu (Psg); Defenders: Barzagli (Juve), Bonucci (Juve), Chiellini (Juve), Darmian (Manchester United), De Sciglio (Milan), Ogbonna (West Ham). Midfielders: Bernardeschi (Fiorentina), Candreva (Lazio), De Rossi (Roma), El Shaarawy (Roma), Florenzi (Roma), Giaccherini (Bologna), Sturaro (Juventus), Thiago Motta (Psg), Parolo (Lazio). Forwards: Eder (Inter), Immobile (Torino), Insigne (Napoli), Pellè (Southampton), Zaza (Juve). Reserves: Zappacosta (Torino), Rugani (Juventus), Benassi (Torino)

Two of the prominent figures behind Italy’s run to the final four years ago, Andrea Pirlo and Mario Balotelli, are of course absent, the former’s omission a cause of consternation in some quarters. Thoughts?

Euro 2016 Switzerland's squad

Vladimir Petkovic has named his 23 for France. The teenaged defender Nico Elvedi makes the cut, Philippe Senderos and Silvan Widmer do not. They line up thus:

Goalkeepers: Roman Bürki (Dortmund), Marwin Hitz (Augsburg), Yann Sommer (Mönchengladbach). Defenders: Johan Djourou (Hamburg), Nico Elvedi (Mönchengladbach), Michael Lang (Basel), Stephan Lichtsteiner (Juventus), François Moubandje (Toulouse), Ricardo Rodríguez (Wolfsburg), Fabian Schär (Hoffenheim), Steve von Bergen (Young Boys). Midfielders: Valon Behrami (Watford), Blerim Dzemaili (Genoa), Gelson Fernandes (Rennes), Fabian Frei (Mainz), Xherdan Shaqiri (Stoke City), Granit Xhaka (Arsenal), Denis Zakaria (Young Boys). Forwards: Eren Derdiyok (Kasımpaşa), Admir Mehmedi (Leverkusen), Breel Embolo (Basel), Haris Seferovic (Frankfurt), Shani Tarashaj (Grasshoppers).

Euro 2016 Germany squad

Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), Marc- André ter Stegen (Barcelona), Bernd Leno (Bayer Leverkusen). Defence: Jérôme Boateng (Bayern Munich), Emre Can (Liverpool), Jonas Hector (Köln), Benedikt Höwedes (Schalke), Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund), Shkodran Mustafi (Valencia), Antonio Rüdiger (AS Roma). Midfield: Julian Draxler (Wolfsburg), Sami Khedira (uventus), Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich), Toni Kroos (Real Madrid), Thomas Müller (Bayern München), Mesut Özil (Arsenal), Lukas Podolski (Galatasaray), Leroy Sané (FC Schalke 04), André Schürrle (Wolfsburg), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Manchester United), Julian Weigl (Borussia Dortmund). Forwards: Mario Gómez (Besiktas), Mario Götze (Bayern Munich).

So, while Reus misses out – again – on medical grounds, old stalwarts Schweinsteiger and Podolski have made the cut, as has Schalke’s promising teenage winger Leroy Sané. It’s still a squad to reckon with, all told.

Euro 2016 Slovakia name squad

Slovakia, group opponents of England and Wales of course, have named their 23 too, with places for Marek Hamsik, Martin Skrtel, Vladimir Weiss and Juraj Kucka. And the full squad goes like this:

Matus Kozacik (Viktoria Plzen), Jan Mucha (Slovan Bratislava), Jan Novota (Rapid Vienna); Peter Pekarik (Hertha Berlin), Milan Skriniar (Sampdoria), Martin Skrtel (Liverpool), Norbert Gyomber (Roma), Jan Durica (Lokomotiv Moscow), Kornel Salata (Slovan Bratislava), Tomas Hubocan (Dinamo Moscow), Dusan Svento (Cologne); Marek Hamsik (Napoli), Juraj Kucka (AC Milan), Miroslav Stoch (Bursaspor), Vladimir Weiss (Al-Gharafa), Robert Mak (PAOK), Patrik Hrosovsky (Viktoria Plzen), Jan Gregus (Jablonec), Viktor Pecovsky (Zilina), Stanislav Sestak (Ferencvaros), Ondrej Duda (Legia Warsaw); Michal Duris (Viktoria Plzen), Adam Nemec (Willem II).

— England (@England) May 31, 2016

Goalkeepers
Fraser Forster
Caps 6 Goals 0 Age 28 Club Southampton

A man-mountain who has been elevated to second choice in the absence of the injured Jack Butland. Excellent for Southampton now he has recovered from a lengthy knee injury, he was unused at the 2014 World Cup but has proved reliable when called upon.

Joe Hart
Caps 58 Goals 0 Age 29 Club Manchester City

Eight years after his debut, the Manchester City goalkeeper is clearly established as England’s first-choice. Did not feature at the 2010 World Cup but started the next two major tournaments and nine of England’s Euro 2016 qualifiers. Strong, authoritative and a reassuring presence.

Tom Heaton
Caps 1 Goals 0 Age 30 Club Burnley

The much-travelled goalkeeper has been a regular in Roy Hodgson’s squad as third choice over the past 18 months despite spending the season in the Championship with Burnley.

Defenders

Ryan Bertrand
Position Left-back Caps 8 Goals 0 Age 26 Club Southampton

Made his senior debut in a friendly win against Italy in Switzerland immediately after Euro 2012 but has flourished more regularly recently after excelling for Southampton. His senior England career has been limited to two competitive matches but he is well placed to compete for a starting place at left-back in France.

Gary Cahill
Position Centre-back Caps 42 Goals 3 Age 30 Club Chelsea

Hodgson’s vice-captain and a regular under this manager, he will hope to make up for missing out on Euro 2012 after breaking his jaw in a friendly against Belgium just before the tournament. The Chelsea centre-half has captained the team on occasion – not least in the victory in Germany in March – and is a rugged performer, despite struggling at times to hold down his position at club level this season.

Nathaniel Clyne
Position Right-back Caps 12 Goals 0 Age 25 Club Liverpool

Quick and aggressive down the flank, the Liverpool player appears to have convinced Hodgson he should be considered England’s first-choice right-back. He can operate at left-back if required, which adds to his attraction, but his first major tournament will be a proper examination of his development after a testing first year as a Liverpool player.

Danny Rose
Position Left-back Caps 3 Goals 0 Age 25 Club Tottenham Hotspur

The left-back has made regular appearances in England squads and, after a fine season at Tottenham Hotspur, got his debut in Berlin in March, with an impressive display against the reigning world champions. Diminutive, quick and attack-minded, his delivery is a considerable asset.

Chris Smalling
Position Centre-back Caps 24 Goals 0 Age 26 Club Manchester United

A Hodgson favourite from his days as Fulham manager, the former Maidstone defender has become a mainstay of the backline in recent times, bringing encouraging club form on to the international stage. Played against Costa Rica in Belo Horizonte but will go into these finals as a first-choice centre-back.

John Stones
Position Centre-back Caps 10 Goals 0 Age 21 Club Everton

Such a classy performer on the ball, though prone to over-elaboration in unwise positions, as demonstrated against Holland in March. Hodgson has long earmarked him as the future of the national team at centre-half, though Stones’ appearances have more usually been at right-back. The manager even discussed using him as a defensive midfielder last autumn.

Kyle Walker
Position Right-back Caps 15 Goals 0 Age 25 Club Tottenham Hotspur

Named in Uefa’s team of the tournament at the 2011 European Under-21 Championship, he made his senior debut in a friendly victory over Spain later that year. A toe injury kept him out of Euro 2012 but he has been regularly involved in the period since and has enjoyed a fine campaign at Tottenham.

Midfielders
Dele Alli
Position Midfielder Caps 7 Goals 1 Age 20 Club Tottenham Hotspur

Was promoted into the England senior side as a teenager last autumn and has not looked back, quickly establishing himself as a key, energetic member of Hodgson’s team. He can operate as a No10 or in one of the wide positions of a midfield three, and provides forward thrust and energy. Scored his first senior goal against France and was outstanding in the win in Germany.

Ross Barkley
Position Attacking midfielder Caps 22 Goals 2 Age 22 Club Everton

Criticised at times by Hodgson for surrendering possession in dangerous areas, Barkley remains one of English football’s great hopes. Featured at the World Cup two years ago and was the team’s attacking inspiration through the autumn, operating more successfully as a central playmaker. Strong, clever in his delivery and a goal threat.

Eric Dier
Position Defensive midfielder Caps 6 Goals 1 Age 22 Club Tottenham Hotspur

One of the many revelations of Tottenham’s season, the player schooled in Portugal at Sporting has switched from centre-half-cum-right-back to defensive midfielder and excelled. He was impressive against France at Wembley in November, and scored the stoppage time winner to beat Germany in Berlin in March. Solid, dependable and clever with his positioning.

Jordan Henderson
Position Midfielder Caps 24 Goals 0 Age 25 Club Liverpool

Liverpool’s captain has not enjoyed his best season but he remains a mainstay of Hodgson’s midfield, having made his international debut six years ago. Replaced the injured Frank Lampard at Euro 2012 and started in Manaus and São Paulo two years later, England have tapped into his energy and delivery from set plays.

Adam Lallana
Position Attacking midfielder Caps 22 Goals 0 Age 28 Club Liverpool

A clever player capable of operating wide in a front three, or tighter in a midfield diamond. He must start contributing regular goals for England to justify regular inclusion, but Hodgson has leant upon him as a reliable, selfless and industrious creator.

James Milner
Position Midfielder Caps 59 Goals 1 Age 30 Club Liverpool

England’s Mr Reliable over seven years. Only Rooney boasts more caps in this squad, with Milner having featured in three major tournaments. The Liverpool player can operate across midfield, even as a deep-lying anchor, and at right-back, but has suggested Euro 2016 may be his last involvement with the national side.

Jack Wilshere
Position Midfielder Caps 30 Goals 2 Age 24 Club Arsenal

First capped as an 18-year-old by Fabio Capello, Wilshere has been utilised by Hodgson at the base of midfield as a calm distributor of possession rather than a fierce tackler. He has thrived in the position and, when required, bursts forward to assist the attack, scoring a brace against Slovenia last summer to confirm his potential. Injuries have limited his involvement ever since.

Forwards
Harry Kane
Caps 11 Goals 5 Age 22 Club Tottenham Hotspur

Scored on debut 80 seconds after his introduction as a substitute against Lithuania in a European qualifier in March 2015, and now England’s most obvious No9 selection after prolific form with Tottenham. A regular in England’s junior ranks but would have qualified for Republic of Ireland through his father.

Wayne Rooney
Caps 110 Goals 52 Age 30 Club Manchester United

England’s captain and record goalscorer, with 52. Burst on to the international scene at Euro 2004 but has endured frustration at virtually every major tournament since, from dismal form, a lack of fitness or an untimely red card. This may be his last opportunity to excel on the international stage.

Raheem Sterling
Caps 22 Goals 2 Age 21 Club Manchester City

Only the fifth Englishman to be capped before his 18th birthday, Sterling was called up by Hodgson after Euro 2012 and his performance against Italy in Manaus was arguably the highlight of the team’s World Cup campaign in 2014. Has been used wide right but also at the tip of a midfield diamond, where he revelled in the World Cup .

Daniel Sturridge
Caps 17 Goals 5 Age 26 Club Liverpool

Represented Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics and, having graduated through the junior levels, made his senior debut under Capello. One of the brighter attacking performers at the 2014 World Cup and, when fit, a key member of Hodgson’s front-line options.

Jamie Vardy
Position Forward Caps 6 Goals 3 Age 29 Club Leicester City

Hodgson was impressed with Vardy’s raw ability, energy and industry, through Leicester’s relegation fight in 2014-15 and offered the striker a debut in Dublin last summer. Scored his first international goals against Germany and Holland in March, and can operate wide or through the middle.

Marcus Rashford
Position Forward Caps 1 Goals 1 Age 18 Club Manchester United

Became youngest England player to score on his England debut after putting England 1-0 up against Australia after three minutes. The teenager has demanded inclusion with his performances since breaking into United’s first team amid an injury crisis in late February. He scored twice that evening, against Midtjylland, and has seven goals in 16 club games. Has not won an England Under-21 cap yet and has a sole Under-20 appearance.
