Jose Murinho shows again his class. He composed a letter for Real Madrid’s fans, explaining his regrets about the untouched objectives from the past season.

“Now, at the end of the season, I want to thank our fans for all the love and help that they gave us this year! We worked seriously and we have committed one hundred percent, but of course I leave you to draw your conclusions from the assessment, if you like or not this team.

See you on July 11 with the same passion and equally motivated to comply with this club, to honor these colors and the unique history of Real Madrid!

Finally, I want to express a simple wish: I hope next season to recover some principles that one or another should not forget and that this year, some institutions and some football specialists have sometimes ignored. We talk about fair play, respect for opponents, watching the red cards and ignore racism. You should get the facts, not just talk about these principles.

Thank you for everything! See you soon! On July 11 we all meet here! ”
Signed, Jose Murinho.

Iniesta, about the final

on May 20, 2011 None comments

As the big final of UEFA Champions League is awaited with so much interest, everybody talks about it. One of the key players of the game is Iniesta from Barcelona.

Iniesta is the man of the match endings. In 2009 he scored against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League second leg semi-final and scored the winning goal for Spain at the World Cup. “All I want is to win, and this always happens”.

Andres Iniesta had the best season of his career. He played a good football, scored a lot of goals and helped Barcelona to reach the final, to win the League and title in Spain.

“I don’t think that I’ll score in the final. I hope the fans do not expect any of it. Even if it will be an equal score, I don’t want like fans put all their trust in me. I just want to win, not to be the star player. I want to bring the Champions League to Barcelona and to celebrate it with the fans, “was Iniesta’s statement.

Is this the real deal or is just a move to relax Manchester’s players and take an even bigger hit?
