San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence earned himself a
black eye on Saturday after fouling a pitch from Washington Nationals
ace Stephen Strasburg off his own face.Two days later, it appears the
mark has really started to set in.Amazingly, Pence stayed in for the
remainder of the game after the incident on Saturday and even managed to
collect a single in his next at-bat. The 33-year-old was held out of
the starting lineup on Sunday but came in to pinch hit in the ninth,
when he struck out.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he is not in talks with any
clubs as his Paris Saint-Germain contract nears an end - but reckons
his career is only just warming up.
The 34-year-old, who has scored 136 goals in his 164 games at
the Ligue 1 side since moving from AC Milan in 2012, is out of contract
at the end of the season.And though the Sweden international insists he
has not yet held discussions over his future - Manchester United a
reported suitor - he gave a typically self-assured answer when asked
about his prospects of continuing to play at the top level. Im only
just warming up, he told reporters ahead of PSGs Champions League last
16 second leg at Chelsea, with his team leading 2-1 from the first leg.I
dont believe that its the end of my career.Age is just a number. The
difference is how you feel. I feel young, I feel very young.
Ibrahimovic has 136 goals in his
164 games at Paris Saint-Germain The season Ive
done so far, Ive never had a better one statistically.My future is I
have another two months with PSG, then I have the Euros to play with my
national team.Whatever happens after that, like it is todday, there is
nothing after that.ddddddddddddIm not in discussion with anybody because
for me its not the moment to talk about that.Im not worried about the
future. The future looks good after the season Im doing.Ibrahimovic
believes it is only a matter of time until PSG win Europes biggest
prize, although he risked the wrath of some fans by declaring that the
clubs history had begun with Qatar Sports Investments 2011 takeover.
PSG take a 2-1 lead to
Stamford Bridge in the Champions League The club
Im playing in now is a project that began three and a half years ago, he
added.With all the respect, what happened before that, I think the club
was born the day that the Qataris took over. Its a totally new
club.With time, with what the Qataris are investing, there are no
limits. Trust me, they will hunt this Champions League until they get
it. And they will not stop. With me or without me.
