Haaland shows strength of mind but admits ‘I will keep missing chances’

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland concedes he will miss “big chances” in the future but insists it won’t affect his self-belief.

Haaland was guilty of spurning a gilt-edged opportunity in Sunday’s Manchester derby, volleying over from a yard out, but put it behind him to fire home City’s third in a convincing 3-1 win.

Asked about his form, and how he mentally copes with missing a chance like that, he said: “Last year I got 36 goals and I was the top scorer. This season’s top scorer has 18 goals so you can think about it two ways if it has been a good season or not for me. I think we are doing pretty good as a team, that is my main focus of course.

“I have missed a lot of chances and I will still keep missing chances but I will still score goals.

“I’ll probably miss a big chance in the future and people will criticise me. Should I think about that? No, I should try to score goals and help the team.”

Haaland admitted he hasn’t always found it that straightforward.

“It’s been a challenge for me,” he added. “When I was young I would start crying if we lost and I missed a lot of chances so I have been working on it a lot. I demand a lot from myself and I know my team-mates and manager demand a lot from me. It is something to work on.

“It’s a mental thing, I don’t have any exercises, it’s something I have been working naturally on. 

“If you overthink something it’s not good. If you stress on something it’s not good. My life is mainly about football so that’s my focus. I have one career and my focus is to be the best version of myself.”

Haaland accepted there are things he can work on to improve his game further. 

“There are a lot of things I can get better at, people say I am good at scoring goals but I missed the biggest chance ever two days ago so I can become better at that.”

Manchester City: Guardiola believes Champions League has got harder ahead of Copenhagen test

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes it is harder to win the Champions League now than when he started out as a manager at Barcelona in 2008.

City claimed the trophy for the first time last season and are on the brink of qualification to the quarter-finals this term, heading into tomorrow night’s round of 16 second leg at home to FC Copenhagen with a 3-1 advantage.

Guardiola first won the Champions League as a coach with Barca in 2009, winning it again in 2011.

He believes the competition has evolved over the past 15 years.

He said: “It’s getting better, getting tougher. In the first years at Barca, we used to arrive in the semis, now it’s more difficult. The teams are better, the managers are better, everything is more difficult. But the better teams always go through.”

Asked if winning it last season with City was a better achievement than with Barca, he added: “No, I don’t want to diminish anything.  

“Every moment is every moment. At Barca, at Bayern, every trophy you win is difficult, it is not for granted. You have to be good at the right moment, lucky at the right moment.”

City remain on course to repeat last season’s remarkable treble triumph of Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup but Guardiola insists he is focusing on one game at a time.

“The only target is try to qualify tomorrow for the quarter-final,” he said. We are far far away talking about these things. 

“Okay, we won the final against Inter Milan but we are in the beginnings of March. Tomorrow we play Copenhagen. I am focused since yesterday afternoon, this morning and today on that.

“It’s better to be here having already won the Champions League but like I said it [the treble season] is over.”

City are overwhelming favourites to progress given their current form but Guardiola was typically reluctant to take anything for granted.

He said: “I have a lot of respect for Copenhagen.

“They are really well organised. Always I am aware of all of the opposition players, especially for our players and what they have to do. We struggled last season to win there.

“We play a really good team when you consider what happened for them against Manchester United and Galatasaray. How difficult it was for Bayern Munich in Copenhagen. I know perfectly their strengths and qualities because they have two years in a row with the same manager. They have pace in the transition but especially what I like a lot is the way they defend and are compact.”

India v England: Bairstow primed for ’emotional’ 100th Test cap

Jonny Bairstow is expecting an emotional occasion when he steps out for his 100th Test cap at this week’s fifth contest between India and England in Himachal Pradesh.

Bairstow will become England’s 16th red-ball centurion when the final leg of England’s five-match tour begins on Thursday, with Ben Stokes’ team simply looking to salvage some pride at 3-1 down.

Stokes achieved the feat himself in the third Test in Rajkot, though Bairstow has navigated a more challenging route to the top than many of his team-mates.

Having endured spells out of the England team as well as fighting back from a horrific leg break suffered on the golf course in 2022, Bairstow is determined to relish his milestone appearance.

“It means a hell of a lot,” Bairstow said. “Every young kid that sets out on a journey playing professional cricket wants to try to play 100 Test matches.

“You look back to 2012 when I made my debut at Lord’s, if 12 years later you said I’d be playing 100 Test matches, you’d snap your hand off for one but also pinch yourself as well.

“It will be an emotional week. I’m proud, you know what I’m like, I’m an emotional guy so get the tissues ready.”

England have suffered their first series defeat under captain Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, with Bairstow’s average of 21.25 throughout the tour well down on his career figure of 36.42, but the wicketkeeper believes he has just been on the wrong side of some fine margins.

“I’ve been pleased with how I’ve played throughout the series,” he said.

“I’ve had a couple of good balls, a couple of umpire’s calls and I’ve made a couple of bad decisions, that happens when you play against India in India.

“You just have to be content in that. I’ve been striking the ball well. I’m full of confidence coming into this week.”

What to Do After Approval?

After getting approved, you only have to follow these steps to enjoy the benefits of the new storage heaters:

  1. You need to schedule a date for the property survey, a mandatory process where a team of specialists will visit your home to inspect it and determine how many new storage heaters you need, as well as additional upgrades
  2. After the team of specialists conduct the inspection, they will let you know on what date they will visit your property again to install the new storage heaters and the additional upgrades
  3. Finally, the team will visit your property on the agreed date to install all the upgrades, so you can enjoy the benefits of your new storage heaters and home heating system.

Eligibility Criteria and Requirements

The ECO4 grants to replace storage heaters are only available for eligible households – here you have the eligibility criteria and requirements.

Property Location and Ownership

The grants are only available for homeowners and private tenants in England, Scotland and Wales. This is the first requirement you must meet to qualify for this government initiative via the ECO Scheme.

Income and Benefits

This grant is only available for households with an income lower than £31,000 per year. However, it’s still possible to qualify if you or someone in your property receives one or more of the following benefits:

  • Warm Homes Discount Scheme
  • Income related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
  • Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
  • Working Tax Credit (WTC)
  • Child Tax Credits (CTC)
  • Income Support (IS)
  • Income based Jobseekers Allowance (JSA)
  • Pension Credit Savings Credit
  • Child Benefits
  • Housing Benefit
  • Universal Credit (UC)

This is because the ECO4 Scheme has placed a greater focus on helping low-income families, and hence it’s a requirement you must meet.

Health Conditions

For households with an income higher than £31,000, it’s still possible to qualify if you or someone in your property suffers from a health condition or long-term illness such as:

  • Asthma
  • Limited mobility
  • Arthritis
  • Cardiovascular conditions
  • Immunosuppression
  • Diabetes

It’s also worth noting that any of these qualifying health conditions must be verified one of the following entities or professionals:

  • General medical practitioner
  • Health Board 
  • NHS Trust
  • Local Health Board
  • NHS Foundation Trust

EPC Rating

The goal of the UK government is to assist low-income families who live in inefficient buildings, and the best factor to determine it is the EPC rating. Therefore, you can only qualify if your property has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G, because it means it’s energy inefficient and hence it will benefit from replacing storage heaters and installing additional upgrades.

To understand why it’s an important eligibility factor, here you have the full list of EPC ratings with their respective efficiency rate:

  • EPC A: 92%+
  • EPC B: 81-91%
  • EPC C: 69-80%
  • EPC D: 55-68%
  • EPC E: 39-54%
  • EPC F: 21-38%
  • EPC G: 1-20%

As you can easily see, the difference between the top EPC ratings and the bottom EPC ratings is large, and hence it’s important to fix it as soon as possible to improve energy efficiency and make it possible to save money on energy bills, combat fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions.

If you are ready to apply and claim this grant to replace your current storage heaters, click the link below to start the application process:

What Are Grants to Replace Storage Heaters?

The grants to replace storage heaters are free incentives from the government via the ECO Scheme, which places an obligation on energy companies in England, Scotland and Wales to bring energy saving solutions to low income and vulnerable households to make them more efficient and reduce carbon emissions.

The grants bring free funding to eligible homeowners and private tenants to replace their old storage heaters with new electric storage heaters (ESH), which are compatible with Economy 7 and Economy 10 tariffs, offer higher heat retention and more energy efficiency, making them the ideal option for reducing fuel poverty and carbon emissions.

The free funding allows homeowners to replace their storage heaters without cost, in addition to other upgrades such as heat pumps, insulation solar panels and heating controls.

The storage heater replacement grants are expected to end by March, 2026, because it is only one of the several measures that the UK government is taking to reach its goal of reaching zero net carbon emissions by 2050.

Therefore, the best time to claim this grant is now to upgrade your storage heaters and heating system for free.

What Storage Heater Can You Get Thanks to ECO4 Grants?

The ECO4 grants will make it possible for you to equip your home with cutting-edge storage heaters that will reduce carbon emissions, save money on energy bills and make your house a better place to live in.

However, it’s important to know exactly what storage heaters you’ll get, and here you will find all the information about them.

The Electric Storage Heater (ESH) from the ECO4 Scheme

The ESH from the ECO4 scheme are supplied by Dimplex and Elnur, and they offer the following features and advantages:

  • 100% electric
  • High heat retention
  • Cooling fan assistance to protect the storage heater
  • Integrated storage for superior performance
  • Compatible with Economy 7 and Economy 10 tariffs
  • Slim and modern panel design
  • High tech temperature control
  • Built to last

During the inspection, the team will let you know what storage heaters they will install, and they can gladly explain you all the features and benefits.

What Additional Upgrades Can You Claim with Storage Heater Grants?

During the property survey, the team of specialists might determine that your property needs additional upgrades to make it more efficient and reduce carbon emissions. Here you have the full list of improvements you can claim thanks to the ECO4 Scheme. Read more Here on the Storage Heater Grants

Heat Pumps

If during the property survey the team of specialists determines that your boiler needs replacement, then you can also claim an air source or ground source heat pump via the ECO4 Scheme. Because they work without combustion, they offer superior energy efficiency while reducing carbon emissions, making them the ideal replacement for oil, gas and electric boilers.

Wall and Loft Insulation

Proper wall and loft insulation can make your home up to X% more efficient, allowing you to take full advantage of your new storage heaters. Thanks to the ECO4 scheme, you can also claim this upgrade when applying for the storage heater replacement grant.

Solar Panels

Solar panels will allow you to take advantage of the cleanest and cheapest source of energy for your home, and hence the ECO4 Scheme can also include the purchase and installation of this additional upgrade when claiming a storage heater replacement grant.

Heating Controls

The ECO4 Scheme also includes the installation of heating controls that will help you to control all the settings of your home heating systems and solutions. From customising the climatisation of your home to preventing wasting energy, the installers can also provide you with modern, efficient and safe heating controls.  

Radiators

In some cases, the inspectors might determine that your home also needs radiators for certain areas. Therefore, if it’s the case during the property survey, then you will have the chance to claim new and eco-friendly radiators for free thanks to the free funding from the ECO4 Scheme. 

Benefits of Replacing Storage Heaters via the ECO Scheme

There are plenty of reasons why you should opt for replacing your current storage heaters with this government-backed grant, and here you have all the benefits that will motivate you to apply for it right now.

Reduce your energy bills

In a nutshell, new storage heaters from the ECO4 Scheme are more efficient than traditional storage heaters, and it’s because they are Electric Storage Heaters (ESH) from the best brands in the market: Dimplex and Elnur.

Therefore, they charge heat faster and only during off-time electricity times, allowing you to save more money. And because they offer higher heat retention, you’ll be able to make the most out of every charge to keep your home warm and comfortable.

Keep your home warm throughout the winter

Because new storage heaters from the UK government ECO scheme are more efficient in terms of energy and heat retention, they’re capable of keeping your home warm throughout the winter at all times. 

Get access to additional home heating upgrades for free

Claiming the storage heater replacement grant is only the first step towards upgrading your entire home heating system. If you qualify, you can also claim premium upgrades for free such as heat pumps, insulation, solar panels, radiators and heating controls, allowing you to upgrade your property all at once.

Improve your lifestyle quality immediately

Upgrading the home heating system of your property will immediately improve your lifestyle quality because you will be able to sleep well at night in a properly climatised home and wake up full of energy. And if you suffer from health conditions such as asthma or arthritis, then such upgrades might bring you relief.

Contribute to saving the planet

The new electric storage heaters from the ECO4 Scheme reduce carbon emissions, hence you will be contributing towards saving the planet by upgrading your current storage heaters. The goal of the UK government is to reach zero net carbon emissions by 2050, and with this action you will be playing your part in accomplishing it.

Important Facts about the Storage Heater Replacement Grants

To make sure you take full advantage of these special grants, we have noted down the four most important facts about them. Below, you will find all the information you need.

Several factors will determine how much funding you can claim

How much free funding you get for replacing your storage heaters and additional upgrades will depend on the following factors:

  • Type of wall
  • Number of storage heaters needed
  • Type of property
  • Type of heating you need
  • Additional upgrades your property needs

Insulation is the most frequent free additional upgrade for storage heater grants

The ECO4 Scheme offers a series of free upgrades for improving the energy efficiency of your home, and hence you can frequently claim free insulation along with new storage heaters. Because insulation can increase energy efficiency by up to 50%, you can take advantage of this upgrade thanks to ECO4 free funding.

Grants and installation of new storage heaters are in high demand

Grants and installers for new storage heaters and upgrades from the ECO4 Scheme are in high demand, especially during the winter. It means the best time to send your application to claim this grant is now, to get your request at the top of the queue and get the new storage heaters and other upgrades installed in your home as soon as possible.

The grants to replace storage heaters will not last forever

The grants to replace storage heaters are expected to end by March 2026, hence they won’t last forever and you might lose your chance to claim this free grant to upgrade your home heating system without cost.

It’s also important to mention that the government plans to reach zero net carbon emissions by 2050, and this is why they are planning to ban oil and gas powered home heating systems in the next few years. Therefore, the best moment to upgrade your storage heaters is now.

Formula One: FIA president Ben Sulayem faces interference probe – report

Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), is reportedly under investigation for alleged interference in a Formula One race result.

On Monday, BBC Sport reported that a whistleblower had accused Ben Sulayem of intervening to overturn a penalty given to Fernando Alonso at last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

According to the report, Ben Sulayem called Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa – the FIA’s vice president for sport for the Middle East and North Africa – to argue that a 10-second penalty issued to Alonso should be revoked.

Katie Boulter: Robson says the ‘sky is the limit’ for San Diego champion
Constitution Hill ruled out of Cheltenham Festival

Aston Martin’s Alonso finished third behind Red Bull pair Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit after having a 10-second penalty withdrawn.

He was handed that penalty for work starting on his car when he was serving a separate five-second penalty, which was issued for lining up incorrectly at the start of the race.

Alonso’s 10-second penalty – which dropped him below Mercedes’ George Russell – was not implemented until after the Spaniard had celebrated a third-placed finish on the podium.

Alonso was then returned to the podium when the decision was reversed, with race stewards saying the rules did not define whether a jack touching the rear of the car – as occurred during Alonso’s penalty – constituted the start of work.

Ben Sulayem was elected FIA president in 2021 and his tenure at the helm of F1’s governing body has been defined by a series of controversies.

In 2022, Ben Sulayem was criticised for blocking an agreement between F1 teams and the sport’s commercial rights holders on changes to sprint races, while he was also accused of historic misogynistic remarks.

Formula One: Alpine make organisational changes after poor showing in Bahrain

Alpine have made a series of organisational changes after Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly were off the pace at Saturday’s Bahrain Grand Prix, with technical director Matt Harman departing.

Head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer has joined Harman in resigning after Ocon and Gasly finished 17th and 18th respectively in the first race of the 2024 Formula One season.

Alpine finished sixth in the constructors’ standings last year, dropping from fourth in 2022 as they were leapfrogged by McLaren and Aston Martin after Fernando Alonso left following two seasons with the team.

Their unexpected drop-off led to team principal Otmar Szafnauer being sacked last summer, with Bruno Famin taking on the role alongside his responsibilities as Alpine’s vice president of motorsport.

On Monday, the team announced the creation of three specialised roles to replace Harman’s position as technical director.

Joe Burnell will become technical director of engineering, David Wheater has been made technical director of aerodynamics and Ciaron Pilbeam will be technical director of performance.

In a statement, Famin said: “We have decided to make these organisational changes as we can clearly see that we are not where we want nor need to be in terms of performance level and it is time to take another step in terms of organisation and people.

“The new three-pillared structure with three technical directors, each specialising in different areas, will bring better work and collaboration across our technical areas and contribute to delivering performance from the factories to the racetrack.

“I trust fully in the abilities of Joe, David and Ciaron to work closely together in bringing the team the performance and improvements that it needs.”

It’s best to stay away from deals that seem extremely good to really happen. It also saves you from wasting your money on useless sites.

8. Carefully use public wi-fi

Don’t do any online shopping on public Wi-Fi networks because they might not have security measures in place, leaving your data open to attack. For extra protection and privacy, think about using a virtual private network (VPN) even to get affordable dissertation writing services.

9. Protect personal data

Use care while disclosing personal information online, particularly on machines that are used by the public. Limit who can see private data and only share it through outlets you trust.
