Pep steals the show at Bayern Munich unveiling

Pep Guardiola wasted little time in turning on the charm during his first press conference as Bayern Munich head coach on Monday.

The former Barcelona boss spoke fluent German, having spent four hours a day learning the language in preparation for his arrival at the Allianz Arena.

The 42-year-old's transformation into a Bavarian appears to be well under way ahead of the 2013-14 Bundesliga season.

Yabba-dabba-doo! Fred sees Brazil through

Brazil made it three wins out of three at the Confederations Cup on Saturday night, seeing off Italy 4-2 to finish top of Group A.

Having already beaten Japan and Mexico, Luiz Felipe Scolari’s men kept their perfect record intact with a victory that should see them avoid Spain in the semi-finals.

Neymar has been the star for the hosts so far and once again got on the scoresheet with a superb free kick after Dante had opening the scoring.

However, it was Fred with a real show of strength who grabbed the headlines, scoring twice in the second half to send the hosts into the last four.
