He knew it wouldnt be a walk in the park, but Socceroos left-back Brad Smith never expected hed have a tougher time cracking Bournemouths first XI than Liverpools. Josh Gray Jersey.Smith transferred to Bournemouth from the Reds in July, full of hope a smaller club would present more opportunities to play regular Premier League football.Yet three months into the season the 22-year-old still hasnt played a single minute in Englands top tier.While Smith was under no illusions it would be a tall task breaking into a well-established squad, he admitted the lack of game time had already left him pondering his club future.Theyve had the same back four for about five years now so its difficult to try and get in there, he said.But Im still young compared to (No.1 left-back) Charlie Daniels, hes 30.Its a patience game. I signed a good lengthy deal, so I just have to wait for my chance.If I get a few chances Ill see how it goes from there, but I think after the end of the season Ill see whether its a loan (move) or I stay, or see what the other guy (Daniels) does.The situation was of no immediate concern for Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou, who is more than happy with the national-team form of Smith and fellow game-starved teammates Robbie Kruse and Mat Ryan.Postecoglou also pointed out that Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe wouldnt have paid a reported $10.5 million for the New South Welshman if he didnt want him for the long term.The amount of money they spent on him is quite significant for a club like Bournemouth, so they dont see him as a one-year player, Postecoglou said.I think its the right club for him because theyll be patient with him, theyll invest in him, and once he does break through hell become an important part of their team.Its a great point for him to start his football career.Smiths Liverpool background has turned him into an unlikely hero in Thailand ahead of Tuesdays World Cup qualifier in Bangkok.Fans appear unfazed that the Penrith-born Anfield academy product made less than 10 Premier League appearances for the club, loitering outside Bangkoks Supachalasai Stadium waiting for the former fringe Reds player to emerge and sign their Smith Reds jerseys.Liverpool is such a big club and because Ive played there its going to follow me around for a while, he said.

PITTSBURGH -- LeVeon Bell stood at his locker, his face covered in sweat and his eagerness to kickstart his stalled NFL career palpable.His three-game suspension for a second violation of the leagues substance abuse policy over, the Pittsburgh Steelers running back is ready to get back to work, particularly after spending Sunday afternoon watching his teammates get clobbered across the state in Philadelphia.It sucked, Bell said.Pretty much. The team that looked borderline unstoppable at times during wins over Washington and Cincinnati was a mess against the Eagles. DeAngelo Williams, who filled in so brilliantly for Bell during the opening two weeks, slogged for just 21 yards. The offense posted its lowest point total in five years and the defense spent the afternoon futilely trying to make Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz look like a rookie.Enter Bell, limited to six of Pittsburghs last 22 games thanks to knee injuries and run-ins with the leagues drug policy. An All-Pro in 2014 when he emerged as one of the best all-around backs in the league, Bell believes hes a better player than the one last seen being carted off the field in a loss to the Bengals last November with a torn MCL in his right knee.Im a lot smarter, Bell said. So many things I did my (in 2014) were good things. But I look back at my film now and Im like, `What am I doing on this play? What am I doing on that play?Sunday nights visit from Kansas City (2-1) marks Bells first appearance in a game that matters in 11 months. He insists his surgically repaired right knee is fine. So, too, is the desire to prove that hes all the way back. The faster the better.Ive always felt like I had to prove something to somebody, Bell said. That is never going to go away. Im always going to have this personal chip on my shoulder.Even if one of Bells biggest enemies the last two years has been himself. He sat the first two games of the 2015 season as part of the fallout for his arrest on DUI and drug possession charges in August, 2014. Another four-game suspension (eventually reduced to three) came down in August after Bell says he overslept and missed a drug test.Im not a perfect person, I never will be, he said. I know there are some things I can get better (at). Tyreke Evans Jersey. .Probably a good idea as Bell enters the final year of the rookie contract he signed after the Steelers took him in the second round of the 2013 draft. He appeared on the verge of stardom in 2014 when he put up a combined 2,215 yards from scrimmage and proved just as dangerous catching passes as he was patiently setting up his blockers following a handoff.Over the last 330 days hes released his own hip-hop mixtape (under the pseudonym Juice) and collaborated with rap legend Snoop Dogg on another track. What he hasnt done, however, is score a touchdown or participated in a Pittsburgh victory. He made a token appearance in the first half of the Steelers third preseason game in August but otherwise hes been a bystander.For the majority of Bells absence, Pittsburghs offense hardly looked like it missed him. Williams was steady and occasionally spectacular over the second half of the 2015 season and led the NFL in rushing through the first two weeks of 2016 before the team-wide pratfall in Philly.Bell believes theres a chance for the Steelers to go to a two-back system, though Williams himself has said repeatedly he expects to go back to a secondary role once Bell is ready to go. Bell understands there may be some rust, which is why he wont shy away from contact during practice this week.For me not to be hit as much since last November, Im obviously going to want a little contact, blitz pickup, just to get ready for it, he said.Bells teammates are certainly ready for his familiar No. 26 to join them, particularly after a three-hour reality check at the hands of the Eagles.He brings a lot of energy to the huddle, left tackle Alejandro Villaneuva said. Were just happy he can recover from this incident and get his career back because thats what matters to him and matters to us as well.Game notes S Robert Golden underwent an MRI on Monday to have the hamstring he injured against Philadelphia examined but is uncertain if hell be ready by Sunday.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
