Toea Wisil strong candidate for Rio Olympics
Athletics PNG will select one female and one male athlete for the Games under the universality rule.Universality rule guarantees every Olympic Committee a place for one male and one female athlete regardless of qualifying standards.APNG president Tony Green says Wisil is in the drivers seat for selection if no one runs a qualifying time.“We have drawn up selection guidelines to eliminate any doubts as to what would happen in the event that someone else runs a qualifying time,” said Green in a statement.APNG has clarified the process by which it will select its athletes for the Olympic Games through the issue of a selection policy to athletes and coaches.“Based on what we have seen in terms of performances in the past couple of years, it is not inconceivable that more than one athlete will qualify so we have addressed this possibility through the policy,” Green said.Wisil and Donna Koniel are training in Brisbane under similar Scholarship programs, with Wisil funded by the International Olympic Committee and Koniel the IAAF. Sharon Kwarula and Betty Burua are considered capable of running the qualifying times, but without funding support they face an uphill battle.Three male runners also in the running to qualify for a place are Nelson Stone, Mowen Boino and Theo Piniau.All selections are subject to endorsement by the Justification Committee of the PNG Olympic Committee.PNGOC will meet with each of the Sports next week to discuss the nomination of athletes and officials.The Rio Olympics is scheduled from August 5-21 at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The tactical novelties of Setién
Busquets, Vidal and Rakitic operated as midfielders and Ansu and Jordi Alba gave breadth and depth on the sides. With Messi and Griezmann in the interior corridors, the structure in attack resembled a 1-3-5-2 or 1-3-3-4, depending on the height of Ansu and Jordi Alba. Barcelona was an expansive team from side to side —42.8 meters wide– and exploited its superiority inside with the football ascendant of Messi and the finesse in the first touch of Griezmann, improved by intervening with more continuity in central places. The supports of both, different in the way of doing them, generated the space for the entrances from behind Vidal or Rakitic or the ruptures from the wings of Ansu or Jordi Alba. No movement that was not made with Valverde, although there was a greater insistence on this type of play. The total dominance of the ball, with a possession quota greater than 82%, also specified the Barca’s will to have everything under control. Sergi Roberto, Piqué and Umtiti accompanied the medulla and there were no significant cracks that served Granada to articulate the counterattack. Between the three they stole up to nine balls in the center of the field, data that includes their activation in intermediate areas. Barcelona did not split and this is a positive principle for Setién. Their teams tend to run badly backwards … Do not they are made revolutions in just four days, except with Messi in the field, figure that everything happens and will happen in this Barcelona. There was no time for big changes, but for expose some ideas different that must still be perfected. Setién guaranteed that his team would “play well” and anticipated a change of drawing. In both things, with details to clarify, he fulfilled his staging against Granada.The balloon systemIt was the main novelty in Barcelona. Setién ordered a line of three – Sergi Roberto, Piqué and Umtiti – in the offensive construction, which kept both the exit and the situations in the opposite field. During his career, the Cantabrian coach has always used provisions that would include three players, either leaning on three centrals, going down to the middle center or opening one of the interiors. The particular conditions of Sergi Roberto, a midfielder converted to lateral, allow him to employ him in that alternative double role. In the defensive phase, he assumed his usual side function. Pressure and recoveryNaturally, the change in scheme influenced the attack-defense transition. With three players on the last line, Busquets could launch with more courage. The middle center retains its decisive status in this aspect of the game. His reading is usually adequate and could lead the recovery strategy so high in Barcelona —44.2 meters away from your goal-. Busquets was closer to the Granada area than its own, well escorted by Vidal and Rakitic. Barcelona reorganized with four back in contexts in which Granada exceeded the first pressure. He was neat, serious and together, admitting hardly any chances to the set of Diego Martinez, who signed five shots. The best opportunities of the rival derived from errors in the circulation at the exit of Barcelona as it happened in the shot to the stick of Eteki. The goal to zero contained Setién and a proposal that incorporated different nuances in tactical development. Although the revolution is always Messi.

Foods you should not eat on an empty stomach if you do not want to destroy your stomach
For example, although tomato is recommended to be introduced at lunch or dinner, at breakfast it is totally inadvisable. The reason is none other than the tannic acid they contain, which makes digestion very difficult early in the morning. A similar example is that of carbonated drinks. We know that it is difficult to add a CocaCola or Pepsi for breakfast, but for tastes, colors. The symptoms are similar, and not only that, but also a more bloated stomach and even gases are added. Nothing advisable when it comes to going to work. Candies are one of the classic elements when we have friends at home or go to the movies. If you have been left over from last night and you meet them when you get up, run away. Not only can they cause serious health problems for all those diagnosed with diabetes, but also the body is not able to secrete the amount of insulin needed when the stomach is empty in the morning. Introducing a yogurt when you wake up can be a tempting option. These types of products generally fit into any diet due to their wide variety, but the truth is that they are not recommended at first time. The reason? Similar to that seen with tomato, its high acid content, in this case lactic. Although it is recommended for people, it is better to enjoy yogurt after lunch or at night. Fruit is one of those delicacies that we should never do without, either during the afternoon or even at breakfast. Of course, there are certain types of fruits that we should avoid first thing. One of the most prominent is the pear. Although it has a high water content, due to the high percentages of fiber, the pear can cause a few gut pains if we introduce it for breakfast. Whether on a diet or not, we are always advised to make a relatively strong breakfast. There is nothing like starting the day with force and therefore with a full stomach. Of course, beyond the classic breakfast of coffee accompanied by toast, cereals or other types of food, we must take into account choices that we should never add if we do not want to have a bad morning. There are certain foods that you should not introduce at breakfastChoosing food well can prevent stomach aches
