Skipper Gemma Bonner is convinced Liverpool Ladies will reap the benefits of the club’s first ever pre-season tour. Hosted by insurance giants Discovery, Liverpool are midway through their pre-season tour to Africa which has already seen them stage a number of football clinics in South Africa. Goals from Caroline Weir and Katie Zelem saw the Reds beat Yarona Ladies 2-1 at the Nike Training Centre in the Johannesburg township of Soweto on Sunday as new head coach Scott Rogers reign got off to a winning start.They face Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday and Bonner hopes the new-look Liverpool squad will continue to gel and build on a promising start to the New Year.The first game was good for us to get out there, Bonner told Sky Sports News HQ.We came off a long flight and it was tough for us to adapt to the conditions straightaway.The side that we played are used to playing in this heat but it was a good test for us. The humidity levels are quite high, its not something we are used to but hopefully it will improve us.Weve had nine new players come in so its a big changeover and for us its a great chance to get the squad together.Were with each other 24/7 at the moment so were really getting to know each other a lot more on and off the pitch. There is a fresh look about the squad and a new management side has come in.For us there is a lot to look forward to and were working hard to try and be as successful as we can be.

But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- NBA champion Kevin Love looks at the world just a little bit differently than regular old NBA player Kevin Love used to.His last two seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers were rife with speculation surrounding his fit next to two ball-dominant players in LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. Questions abounded about whether both Love and the Cavs would be better off trading him away.Love says that noise still exists; he just has learned to block it out.Theyll never be gone, Love said Friday when asked about the critics. Thats just something that you live with. We have so much hype and media and the good and the bad surrounding this team and it just comes with the territory.So, I love this team, love the coaching staff, my teammates, the organization. I mean, I dont think it will ever leave but frankly, I dont really give a s---.Cavs fans last saw Love on the court locking up two-time MVP Stephen Curry on the perimeter in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, as Curry missed what would have been a game-tying 3-pointer with 30 seconds left had it gone down.The Stop, as its affectionately been dubbed in Northeast Ohio, was followed in short order by Love becoming the first player to embrace James after the final buzzer, as tears ran down James face.Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue, who Love credited for opening up his game with a well-timed speech in front of the team late in the regular season, said hes seen a shift in his power forwards mentality during camp.It looks like the monkey is off his back because we won a championship, Lue said. Going through it last year, winning a championship and being a big part of what we do (was big for him). Those first three rounds he was unbelievable. I thought LeBron did a great job of letting Kyrie and Kevin really emerge in the playoffs those first three rounds. They got all the confidence in the world and it was big. Now we have to keep building from there.James says any change in Loves demeanor is just the medias misperception.Hes the same Kev to me, James said. Maybe hes different to you guys because you guys bring up that notion (of howw he fits in), no one wants to hear that right now.dddddddddddd. Hes a huge piece to our team, hes one of our Big Three, and when we all perform well, you see what happens. You see in Game 7 when we all came to play, played at a high level, so we was able to bring that home.But, you know, he looks unbelievable, hes in shape. Not that hes ever been out of shape, but hes in great form shooting the ball extremely well, great command of what were doing, hes a good leader for our team.Love came into camp with a more sculpted physique than in the past, having spent the summer working out with Cavs training staff members in both Park City, Utah, and Los Angeles. While he was getting his body right for the season, trade rumors persisted.Did he hear them?Trade rumors, you know, I dont know, an apoplectic Love said. You lose a couple games ... No, I dont know how to answer that. No. Im here, man. I plan on being here a very long time.Despite the Cavs winning it all, Loves numbers did dip from 16 points and 9.9 rebounds in the regular season to 14.7 points and 8.8 rebounds in the postseason. He was benched in the fourth quarter of both Games 3 and 4 of the Eastern Conference finals and missed Game 3 of the Finals completely because of a concussion.Yet Lue says Loves impact was clear.Yall keep asking the same question, Lue said. Its sacrifice. When you have three great players, everybody is not going to have the ball and have the same numbers they had on other teams. Its like when Chris Bosh went to Miami. Thats how weve got to treat Kevin. Its the same way. That dont mean hes not a great player, it means hes the one whos got to sacrifice. To win you have to do that.Love wants to keep on winning. The championship might have steeled him, but it didnt satisfy.Of course hanging a banner is huge for us and I shook all of your guys hands at the parade, it was an amazing time, Love said, but now its back to work and well do it all over again. So, lets go to work. ' ' '
