Carl Valeri and Bruno Fornaroli have different goals this A-League season.Rival captains of Melbournes two glamour clubs, both are vying for the championship in whats shaping as the tightest battle in the competitions history.The credentials of each will be tested in next weekends anticipated Melbourne derby.But while Citys Uruguayan hitman Fornaroli faces pressure to outdo last campaigns record-breaking, golden-boot winning 25 goals, his Victory counterpart hopes he can make up for lost time and help return Kevin Muscats side to silverware.Valeri was sidelined for four months in 2015-16 with a rare inflammatory condition affecting his brain.He was left with blurred vision and struggled to walk, and in his absence Victorys results suffered.But after a full pre-season, the 32-year-old former Socceroos midfielder will again lead his strengthened line-up in Friday nights season-opener against Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium.Last year has been and gone and Im feeling great, Valeri said.Its important for me personally to feel good, but the fact that I can contribute to the team and the team is doing well is fantastic.Looking back now I wonder, how didnt I think my career was over with the symptoms I had?The great thing is that with the great support Ive had through my family and the club Im back playing professional football.If I wasnt well I couldnt play in the A-League.Fornaroli, meanwhile, is attempting to temper expectations he can better last campaigns incredible output.Well have to see, Im not (Cristiano) Ronaldo, he said.When I start each season I put short-term goals.I dont think at the start of the year I want 28 or 30 goals.But of course for a striker you have to score.As a collective, Fornaroli said John van `t Schips star-studded outfit was ready to embrace the pressure to deliver silverware.We have a little bit more pressure to win the league, but I like this and I want to win the league. Were ready for this, he said.This year we have very good players like Neil Kilkenny, Luke (Brattan), Fernando (Brandan), (Nicolas) Colazo, Timmy (Cahill) and it will help us a lot.Victory enter this season without influential duo Gui Finkler and Kosta Barbarouses, now Wellington marquee players.But the departures are well offset by the arrivals of Marco Rojas, James Troisi, Alan Baro and James Donachie, providing the squad with just the right balance.We had a great team last year, but this year I really do think weve got great, versatile players with great personal motivation who can really bring that into the team and drive it forward, Valeri said.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Odell Beckham Jr. reined in some of the emotions, the exaggerated behavior, the penalties and on-field feuds. Then he did what he does best -- make big plays.A banged-up Beckham turned a short fourth-and-1 pass into a winning 66-yard catch and run with 1:24 to play Sunday as the New York Giants snapped a three-game losing streak with a stunning 27-23 victory over the hurting Baltimore Ravens (3-3).Beckham caught eight passes for a career-best 222 yards and two touchdowns despite having to leave the field in the first half with a hip pointer in carrying the Giants (3-3) to their 700th win in franchise history.I am going to go out there and play the same way every time, Beckham said of his many problems on the field this season. I dont think I played any different besides me being injured. It was the same passing. I think because I was hurt I couldnt express it as much as I wanted to.Thats debatable. After catching a 75-yard scoring pass in the third quarter, Beckham imitated a triple jumper -- playing off a line in a commercial in which he appears.

We held him down in the first half. We had some guys go down. The guys behind them have to step up. Thats why were here. We play an aggressive style defense. We man guys up.dddddddddddd We just didnt get it done.Beckham did.He is a playmaker, he is a game changer and he did exactly that today, said linebacker Jonathan Casillas, who stopped West on fourth-and-goal from the 1 earlier in the quarter.Flacco (26 of 48 for 307 yards) drove the Ravens to the Giants 24 in the waning seconds.
