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?

Racism in France

on May 17, 2011 None comments

Everything comes around the existence of a system of racial discrimination against young players staged in national training centers in France. Football academies were given instructions not to select more than 30 percent black players and Arab origin over the age of 12-13 years.

The plan was proposed at the meeting from 8 November 2010 of the National Development Programme of the federation, and the national coach, Laurent Blanc, declared in favor of applying such a rate. Blanc would have selected as examples Spain, a world champion which he considered a team with “no problems, which has no black component.

“I would like to apologize for the statements made at that meeting. The terms were fully moved. I didn’t became a coach to stand in the middle of such a scandal. “ Blanc said, adding that he thought to resign. “But the resignation was not a good solution.” he said.

Thursday, the Federal Council, decision-making body of the French Football Federation, has renewed confidence in Laurent Blanc, but has opened disciplinary inquiries against Francois Blaqart national technical director and deputy general director of FFF, Andre Prevosto.
