What season is baseball played in the Dominican Republic?

Rob Key says Ben Stokes remains entirely focused on representing England cricket for years to come - despite only choosing to sign a one-year deal rather than a multi-season option blackjack

The Test captain had the opportunity to be one of the initial group of players to land a new multiple-season contract, which have been handed out for the first time blackjack

But he has turned it down partially in favour of putting himself in a stronger negotiating position a year from now, when a new round of broadcast rights begins and central contracts could be worth more accordingly blackjack

Managing director Key insisted it was primarily this, rather than any feeling from Stokes that he may not continue to represent England, which was behind the decision blackjack

“By no means is it Ben Stokes saying, ‘I don’t want to play for England’,” Key told BBC Sport blackjack

“All he talks about is being completely committed to playing for England and also captaining that Test team - planning for India, planning for the Ashes, planning for West Indies and Sri Lanka next summer blackjack

“I don’t think it has crossed his mind not playing for England for the next four, five, six years blackjack

“Ben, quite rightly, feels when the next memorandum of understanding starts and the contract cycle changes he will be in a stronger position blackjack

Other players have gone for that security [of the fixed-term contract] blackjack

”Central contracts’ values are tied to the worth of broadcasting rights deals at the time of signing, so would not change next year if a more lucrative deal is in place blackjack

The England and Wales Cricket Board have handed out a total of 18 multi-year deals, with players signing them including Jofra Archer, Joe Root, Ollie Pope and Rehan Ahmed blackjack

The contracts give England greater control over their players when there are schedule clashes, though it does not immediately mean individuals will not play franchise cricket blackjack

All of Pep Guardiola’s work ahead of the Manchester derby this weekend has naturally revolved around having a high percentage of possession, which is to be expected, but there is one surprising element to it blackjack

He has been scrutinising what more pragmatic sides such as Brentford, Brighton and even Copenhagen did against United for instruction blackjack

All of them went to Old Trafford looking to get on the ball and dominate – with mixed success – in a way that at one point would have been unimaginable blackjack

It is really only Nottingham Forest who didn’t take that approach this season, preferring to let United have the ball blackjack

In United’s nine Premier League games so far, they have had lower possession than their opponent in four of those blackjack

In other words, they’ve been chasing the opposition in almost half of their games blackjack

On the ballManchester United’s possession in the Premier League this season (per cent)51 - Wolves (h)44 blackjack

3 - Tottenham Hotspur (a)66 blackjack

3 - Nottingham Forest (h)45 blackjack

2 - Arsenal (a)43 blackjack

9 - Brighton (h)38 blackjack

2 - Burnley (a)77 blackjack

1 - Crystal Palace (h)63 blackjack

9 - Brentford (h)62 blackjack

5 - Sheffield United (a)This would be unusual for most big sides in this era but is particularly unusual for a manager in Erik ten Hag who is so consciously a disciple of the Ajax principles, and has now had well over a year in the job blackjack

That’s a lot of time on the training ground blackjack

Manchester City had even considered him a potential successor to Guardiola, given the tactical alignment blackjack

So it’s fair to wonder why exactly United aren’t closer to any kind of ideal as Ten Hag would surely see it blackjack

They currently don’t play anything like his Ajax side, let alone City or that possession-pressing model blackjack

By the same point in Guardiola’s tenure, City were on a winning run that would bring a 100-point season blackjack

United have instead gone backwards, which fits into a wider concern over how the side haven’t really had a convincing display since before the Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle United blackjack

Ten Hag’s recent reliance on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stalwarts such as Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay would almost seem to sum this up blackjack

United are even playing more like Solskjaer’s time, just making do in the moment in order to get through blackjack

It's all so ad hoc blackjack

Harry Maguire’s header earned United all three points against Copenhagen (EPA)The biggest question, out of many for the United manager, is whether this is a deeper concern blackjack

Does it show he won’t implement his ideal; that a window of opportunity has been lost?As with pretty much everything at United right now, everyone puts it down to injuries blackjack

That is the explanation for the unconvincing displays and the pragmatic approaches blackjack

Ten Hag hasn’t had the players so has had to compromise blackjack

But is that really sufficient? Would the idealist that Ten Hag supposedly represents not still seek to integrate the squad in an approach that will serve them much more in the longer term?You only have to look across the way, and the one season when Guardiola faced a broadly similar situation blackjack

In 2016-17, when the City manager still lacked some of the player profiles he wanted – especially at full-back – he still insisted on the exact same approach blackjack

John Stones was often the main focus of this blackjack

Although the defender was still learning the game, meaning he was prone to mistakes as he endured so much external noise, Guardiola told him to just shut it all out blackjack

He followed by telling Stones to keep playing the ball out blackjack

Ignore the shouts to get rid blackjack

Concentrate on commitment to the ideal blackjack

It led to some humiliating moments, not least four-goal concessions against both Leicester City and Everton blackjack

Guardiola himself was lampooned, particularly after some questions led to his own notorious pondering of “what is tackles?”A year later, the City manager was specifically citing that period – and that persistence – as absolutely crucial to the run that effectively made them champions by December 2017 blackjack

That the win to clinch the title came away to Jose Mourinho’s counter-attacking Manchester United only emphasised the point blackjack

An achievement like that 100-point season was a consequence of how the players’ deeper comprehension of the system amplified their performance blackjack

Figures at Old Trafford would fairly argue that Ten Hag was initially going to do this, but the onslaught from those first defeats against Brighton and Brentford at the start of last season was just too much blackjack

The second goal conceded at Brentford, trying to pass the ball out from the back, was just too calamitous blackjack

United being United, it brought a level of ridicule and hysteria beyond anything City could face blackjack

Ten Hag had to change something or it could have completely destroyed the squad’s confidence in themselves and him, before he ever got the chance to build belief in the system blackjack

They would also point to how Guardiola benefitted from spending £200m on defenders in his second season, including two cornerstones of the era in Kyle Walker and Ederson blackjack

By contrast, Ten Hag has attempted to fill tactical gaps in his side with relatively makeshift signings like Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen blackjack

A serious club, some in the industry argue, doesn't take the team to the next stage with a 20-year-old (Rasmus Hojlund, a Chelsea cast-off (Mason Mount) and two loanees (Sergio Reguilon and Amrabat) blackjack

Sofyan Amrabat arrived at Old Trafford on loan this summer (Getty Images)Those at City would nevertheless laugh at such arguments given United’s expenditure over the years blackjack

Ten Hag is currently in the process of ousting an £85m signing in Jadon Sancho blackjack

City would say their purchases have just been much more forensic blackjack

That isn’t the only potential difference blackjack between the situations blackjack

Although both Guardiola and Ten Hag have evolved from the same Dutch-Spanish ideology, those national backgrounds have produced divergences in interpretation blackjack

It comes down to different types of purism blackjack

Guardiola will stick to the system regardless blackjack

It's his way blackjack

He will always try and play through it blackjack

Ironically, and almost paradoxically, Ten Hag’s willingness to compromise arguably reflects a greater dogmatism blackjack

Those who know the Dutch coach say he has such a fixed idea of certain positions that if he doesn’t have exactly the type of player he wants, he doesn’t see the point of persevering in the same approach blackjack

That’s also why the injuries have been so undermining blackjack

Ten Hag has lacked some of his main passers, but especially Lisandro Martinez blackjack

The Argentine’s absence has had the effect of forcing Andre Onana to go long and removing that link to the midfield blackjack

It disrupts the whole system blackjack

Maguire and McTominay just aren’t suited to that game, but it is to their credit both have persevered and sought to learn in the circumstances blackjack

They illustrate this period of adaptation more than anyone, especially given how influential they have been blackjack

There’s almost a contrast in the Scottish midfielder’s game blackjack

An instinct for prosaically passing the ball sideways is offset by a willingness to proactively get forward and score blackjack

Maguire meanwhile made a calculation of his own blackjack

Sources with knowledge of his situation said one reason he turned down West Ham United was because he saw the issues United were going to have at centre-half blackjack

Martinez’s injury and Raphael Varane’s inability to play consistently meant there were going to be chances blackjack

Maguire has seized them and then some blackjack

Ten Hag praised his evolution on Tuesday night, as the centre-half furthered his recent redemption with a greatly valued match-winner against Copenhagen blackjack

“He’s playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical, defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward, very confident in the duels,” the manager argued blackjack

“I think he’s dominating in the right moment, putting the question, dominating his opponents blackjack

”Ten Hag is having to compromise on his ideals this season (Getty Images)United just aren’t doing that on a collective level blackjack

All of this is why Ten Hag was so insistent on Frenkie De Jong in his first summer at Old Trafford blackjack

He saw his former Ajax midfielder as unique in his interpretation of that specific midfield role the coach wants blackjack

The only player Ten Hag saw as coming close, in terms of potential attributes, was Ryan Gravenberch blackjack

That’s the reason he went so big on De Jong, against all evidence blackjack

When he couldn’t get De Jong, Ten Hag realised he had to go in a different direction blackjack

So it’s been a bit of all or nothing blackjack

The same applies to the team as a whole blackjack

Either Ten Hag has exactly what he wants, or he just can’t commit to that approach blackjack

It’s why there isn’t too much concern about the visible lack of ideology now blackjack

There is confidence that will return when sufficient players return, especially Martinez blackjack

A fair question is whether crucial time has been lost in deepening the ideology blackjack

A fair point for Sunday, meanwhile, is that this actually might serve United against City blackjack

Unless Ten Hag has the team exactly as he wants, it is always going to be a mistake trying to go toe to toe with Guardiola in terms of getting feet on the ball blackjack

The Catalan’s City are always going to be so dominant you have to adapt around them blackjack

Otherwise, you risk an evisceration blackjack

The current situation plays into that blackjack

United have almost no choice but to plan without possession on Sunday blackjack

The very decision to appoint Ten Hag was supposed to be about something grander, though blackjack

They were supposed to be rising to City's level blackjack

United instead have to try and bring the champions down, by leaving them the ball blackjack
