definitely more clout and it could be a bit dreary and damp but much brighter, much drier and just the odd shower and nothing in comparison with today and tomorrow and then high pressure will keep the weather fronts at bay as we go into the weekend, pushing those weather fronts to the north and west which means a lot of dry weather and yes, there will be chilly nights, but it will feel pleasant by day. a reminder of our top story... as we start to emerge from lockdown, the calls for vaccine passports. the prime minister ordered a review. now it's time to get the news where you are. £1. hello, and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak. coming up on tonight's programme... a power broker like no other. we hear from one of football's most controversial super—agents about the criticism he's faced. if this man is so greedy and so bad and so, i don't know, what have been called how the hell are all of his players so happy and stay with him? the lionesses are roaring again — ellen white scores a hat—trick as england thrash northern ireland 6—0 in hege riise�*s first game in interim charge. as chelsea prepare to take on atletico madrid in romania tonight, former goalkeeper robert green joins me to discuss their champions league chances. and also coming up on the programme... the man's wife the inaugural season of the 100 have been finalised today, we will keep you up—to—date with the key signings. good evening, welcome to the programme, thanks forjoining us. he's regarded as one of the most influential and controversial people in football. mino raiola is agent to some of the game's biggest stars. he brokered paul pogba's record move to manchester united in 2016, he's represented former united player zlatan ibrahimovic, and he looks after borussia dortmund striker erling haaland. time and again, he's been accused of being a destabilising influence with a money—hungry style that's damaging the game. but how fair is that? he's been speaking to our sports editor dan roan. does it bother you, does it anger you that the public perception of you that the public perception of you and your colleagues, your agent rivals is one of greed and excess, and contributing to the problems that the game is facing? £31 and contributing to the problems that the game is facing? of course it bothers me. _ that the game is facing? of course it bothers me. i _ that the game is facing? of course it bothers me. i would _ that the game is facing?

of course it bothers me. i would be lying if i | it bothers me. i would be lying if i said it did not bother me. but i learned 25 years ago to say that the only thing that is important for me is the people that can reallyjudge me. and the people that really can judge me are people that i work with, work for a really note day to day what i am doing for them or not. how can you judge if i'm a good agent for him? the only one that can judge is him himself. all of my players are free to leave every day. so if they want to stay with me they are happy to stay, and if they don't i'm happy that i leave. it's not nice to hear always the same preconception, we are discriminated against in the football world, but may be the public can also think if this man is so greedy and so bad and so, i don't know, how the hell do his players are all happy and stay with them?

it's obviously that on the maybe maximum ten clubs can afford to buy you from dortmund so we can all feel in those clubs and four of those clubs are in your beautiful country, and you can fill the men, you can call them and say would you be interested? i think there is not a sport director or trainer in the world that would say i would not be interested. next to matters on the pitch — england women have thrashed northern ireland 6—0 in a friendly at st george's park this afternoon. ellen white scored a hat—trick to ensure interim head coach hege riise got off to a winning start. this was england's first game in almost a year, and the first since phil neville left as manager last month. 0ur women's sport reporter jo currie was there. in difficult windy conditions, a 6—0 win from herfirst in difficult windy conditions, a 6—0 win from her first game in in difficult windy conditions, a 6—0 win from herfirst game in charge, hege riise, the fact that she was hebb able to have four different goal scorers and debuts for different players. after the game she said she was delighted, and i did not say what more they could have done today, theyjust said that they could have scored more goals, they could have scored more goals, the fact that england had not been together as a team to play a match for almost a year, they wondered maybe if they were to look a little bit stale, because there were not playing at their best before, but today they are playing against weaker opposition, yes northern ireland are ranked a3 places beneath them, and even came away looking very sharp. and that match when he ran comes to an end, this was their final warm—up game before the euro 2020 to play off in april. yes final warm-up game before the euro 2020 to play off in april.— 2020 to play off in april. yes and that -la 2020 to play off in april. yes and that play off _ 2020 to play off in april. yes and that play off for _ 2020 to play off in april. yes and that play off for most _ 2020 to play off in april. yes and that play off for most of - 2020 to play off in april. yes and that play off for most of these i that play off for most of these players is actually going to be the biggest game of their lives. let's put the match into context, as i mentioned england were ranked 1ath, three places above them, they did not come into this game with the misunderstanding with it they knew exactly how tough it was going to be. and even their managers said to me that the score line did not matter, all about the performance and the lessons that they could learn because what he said today was the maid think he realised that england are that much quicker and fitter, but understand that most of their players are part—time committees of the some of them will be back at work tomorrow morning. gives you an idea of what he's working with but that game in april is going to be huge. and these players would take an awful lot from this match. ibig players would take an awful lot from this match. �* ., ., . ., players would take an awful lot from this match. �* ., ., _, ., this match. big game to come for northern ireland. _ for scotland though, their hopes of reaching the finals are over. they played theirfinal european championship qualifier today against portugal and were beaten 2—0 in cyprus. scotland had been dominating, but rachel corsie's back pass put the keeper under pressure and the attempted clearance ended up in the back of the net thanks to portugal's ana capeta just before the half hour mark. despite numerous chances for scotland, portugal got a second in added time, jen beattie couldn't get in clear and fatimo pinto added the second. next to tonight's football and chelsea are in champions league action against atletico madrid. the first leg of their last 16 tie is being played in romania because of coronavirus travel restrictions. chelsea go into the game unbeaten in seven games in all competitions since thomas tuchel replaced frank lampard last month. to look ahead to the game i'm joined by former norwich and west ham goalkeeper rob green, who ended his career with a season at chelsea and is part of the five live commentary team tonight. how impressed have you been with tuchel — and what's he done to turn things around? he has steadied the ship so far. that's the main thing. in terms of a system and tactics they are a bit all over the place, as now he has made it a bit more structured and the players seem to know what they are doing a bit more. final third is still an issue, creating chances, taking those chances is still the issue for chelsea, but they are in control and having a lot of possession. he's turning around and as you say, unbeaten. haifa possession. he's turning around and as you say, unbeaten.— possession. he's turning around and as you say, unbeaten. how do you see chelsea getting _ as you say, unbeaten. how do you see chelsea getting on?

is going to be tough, atletico madrid are playing j tough, atletico madrid are playing well, and since the draw has been made chelsea have been improving and atletico has slipped off and so since mid—december you would think that chances have improved, its going to be a big ask for chelsea to get anything from this. diego simeone's never lost a home match as atletico manager in the knockout stages of the champions league — but he isn't in madrid tonight of course — how much does it help chelsea to be on a neutral ground in bucharest? huge. and i think that's one of the most intimidating places to go with diego winding up. the real cauldron there so to go completely away from madrid is a massive advantage for chelsea. to see if they can take advantage they will have to see. and everyone knows about the danger of facing luis suarez, chelsea keep him quiet? he likes to be involved in the play, if you can get up as high as you can, isolate him if they can, and that's a real opportunity. we know what happens when he gets frustrated. that's something that chelsea, they like to exploit and so i think it recently, he's been scoring it is not scored in the champions league so far this season so there is hope on the side. and these come _ so there is hope on the side. and these come close _ so there is hope on the side. and these come close to this competition, how we would love to win it with chelsea, realistically though in this first season how far can chelsea go do you think?
