Socceroos great Tim Cahill says he will gladly jump into the role of Melbourne City and A-League ambassador, wearing the pressure that comes with it as a badge of honour.The 36-year-old was feted on his arrival at City on Monday as he spoke about the move that will have him playing his club football in Australia for the first time in two decades.Its been a deal months in the planning, but one Cahill said felt right from the start.I know its the right decision. I knew it was the right decision months ago, he said.I know its going to help me as a national team player.I didnt know I could feel like this again as a footballer but its very special.The move also feels right to City, whose coach John van t Schip said Cahill brought a winning mentality.Cahill also brings star power to the club which has failed to leave any significant imprint on the competition since joining the A-League in 2010.Football Federation Australia is also hoping Cahill can drive a lift in attendances and television audiences and has chipped in to meet his salary demands to land a deal.Cahill said he would embrace his position as the face of Melbourne City and the A-League.I want to build the game, he said.Going to play Western Sydney Wanderers, I cant wait.Sydney FC. Perth. Melbourne Victory against (Kevin Muscat) my old mate ... I want them to take advantage of a player coming back.I know Im a Sydney boy but ... Sydney, Melbourne, it doesnt matter.Cahill said he wasnt concerned about high expectations.Ive always been a player that needs that bit of pressure and needs that next kick, he said.This is what I need as a player. This is whats always made me tick.Cahill trained with his City teammates for the first time on Monday morning, wearing the clubs new white and sky blue kit.He signed a two-year deal which will expire on the eve of the 2018 World Cup, but he wouldnt be drawn on whether that meant he was planning an on-field swansong at the tournament should Australia qualify.This is one of the best places to get myself to a World Cup, he said.But I dont look too far ahead. Ill take it game by game. Ill take it stage by stage.Earlier, Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou gave his backing to the move.Hes very professional on and off the field but hell have a really good infrastructure at City to make sure his body is looked after, which is key, and the league will suit him in that sense, Postecoglou said.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football.

BEREA, Ohio -- Josh Gordon says he is returning to the Cleveland Browns a different man, one more willing and ready to accept help and support from others.Those were Gordons words Thursday in his first public comments since he was reinstated by the NFL from a one-year ban.Gordon did not apologize for missing the 2015 season due to multiple violations of the NFLs substance-abuse policy, but he did say he was tremendously excited to be given another chance and grateful the Browns took him back.I definitely think Im a different person, he said. If you havent changed over a period of time, thats a bad thing. I think me standing here is a testament to that. Most people might not see it that way. That just comes with the territory of me being who I am, considering my past.Gordon said he had taken the necessary steps to better myself as a person off the field just as much as on. He did not answer when asked if he went to rehab but promised he is much more willing to accept help.I have a great support staff here, more so than Ive ever felt before, Gordon said. And it plays a part on both sides. Me wanting to give into that support and allow them to help me and me wanting to be helped as opposed to before me trying to be selfish and do things on my own.I want to buy into an organization, a loving, caring, providing facility. And people here that want to do the most that they can, to do everything that they can to help us. Which they were trying to tell us today.Thats what I want to be a part of.Gordon met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on July 21 as part of his effort to be reinstated.He was willing to hear me out on all points, and I was grateful for the opportunity, Gordon said. I think I got off my chest things I was desperately trying to convey. I think he understood that.Gordon admitted he was self-centered when he played for the Brownns in the past.dddddddddddd.But things turn around, he said. People change. Its possible to change. It takes people some learning. But eventually you get to that point. I think I have.Gordon was suspended two games in the 2013 season (when he still led the league in receiving yards), 11 games in 2014 (one by the team) and all 16 in 2015.He also will be suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season.Gordon arrives with a quad injury but is ready to return to practice.Sashi Brown, the Browns executive vice president, said the receiver is at his core a good person, and coach Hue Jackson said what captured [him] was Josh Gordon as a person.Theres nothing were going to be able to do to force Josh to change, Brown said. The change is going to be within, and we will support him through that.Gordon said nothing he could do at a podium would prove he is different. He said he simply has to do it in the community and with the team, on and off the field. His locker has been placed next to that of quarterback Robert Griffin III?in the teams newly renovated locker room.Hes the reason why I committed to Baylor in 2009, Gordon said. Thats one of my best friends. Its not a mistake that my locker is next to his. He looks out for me as part of my support staff Ive been mentioning. Guys I know I can lean on. I know hes a big brother in that regard.Gordon also praised Hall of Fame running back and Browns special adviser Jim Brown for his help in the past months. The receiver said several other NFL players had reached out to him -- though he did not specify whom. He called his year off humbling.But the point has definitely got across to me, clear as day, Gordon said. Thats not a place you want to go back to or ever get to. ' ' '
