Murinho, angel and demon

on August 21, 2011 None comments

Starting every time like a game from another galaxy, the last El Clasico brought shame on the field for both team regardless the result. The war between Real Madrid and Barcelona is well known but this year it took a wrong turn.

Real Madrid coach is destroyed after everything he did at the Nou Camp on Wednesday. Portugal has put his finger in the eye of Guardiola’s second, humiliating him and then saying he did not know who’s “Pito, Tito that!” and continued by doing signs to Messi and Alves that they smell bad.

The papers from Spain write that Mourinho complained to his family and to close ones about him, about his behaviour, telling them that he feels very bad because the image that remained after the last El Clasico it’s not one to remember.

In this scandal it’s not involved just Murinho because when is war, you have at least two opponents. So on the other side, Messi did not stop just at “shush” to Murinho in the match against Real. Barcelona star would spit at Mourinho and colleagues on the bench, every time he approached the guests bank from Madrid.

Barcelona takes Fabregas, finally

on August 13, 2011 None comments

It looks that Barcelona’s prayers have a positive effect. After long negotiation, Fabregas and Nasri have green lights. Arsene Wenger should receive 60 mill pounds after deciding that he is prepared to sell Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.

Barcelona returned yesterday with a new offer for Fabregas that, including add-ons, is worth around 35 mill pounds. They hoped for more, but there is a feeling on both sides that one of the longgest running transfer soap-opera is finally coming to a stop.
The other player in talking, Samir Nasri is very close in signing with Manchester City.

If the transfer will be on, Arsenal would get for their player around 23 mil pounds. The chances for Nasri departure are very high because he is in the last year of contract and if they won’t sell him now, next year Nasri could go for free.

Althoug these looks like a good deal financially speaking, won’t this affect the results? Former Manchester United defender, Gary Neville said: “If they lose Fabregas and Nasri, will they finish in top four? If they lose those players and don’t replace them I would be incredibly surprised to achieve that!“.

Some actors from the football stage make everything to look so easy. One of those, a wizard when it comes to football, strategies and player movement, Jose Murinho managed “to pull another rabbit from the hat”.

Real’s coach convinced Radamel Falcao to refuse a 5,7 million euros per season offer from Chelsea just so he could arrange a move to Real Madrid in 2012. The agreement between the Colombian striker and the Spanish club seems to have been initialed in mid-July and a deal has been approved and by FC Porto officials.

Radamel Falcao García Zárate was born on 10 February 1986. He is a Colombian football forward who currently plays for Porto. He is a natural goalscorer being considered one of the best forwards in the world.

The Columbian player had an exceptional season, managed to break the record of Jurgen Klinsmann for goals in European Cups, managing 17 goals in Champions League.

An asset like this is a very well planned future for the Spanish club and this shows once again the difference between a good coach and a phenomenal one. It’s just Murinho’s challenge to out beat himself.

Neymar amazes again

on August 9, 2011 None comments

It seems that all came to an end in the case of one of the most wanted player this summer, the brasilian Neymar.

Neymar is sure that he’ll have offers from clubs from major countries in Europe even after half a year, when he says that will take into account the separation of Santos.

Until then, the Brazilian wonder kid does not think in migrating to either Barca or Real. He just wants to play as well for its present team and wants to impress on the national team matches.

“Barcelona and Real Madrid are not my big issues right now for, I’m not interested. I have already said everything I had to say on this subject, everyone knows what I will do from now” said Neymar.

In a interview on FIFA’s website, the Brazilian has shocked Real fans, a player log expected to play for Real late in the winter. “Barcelona is the best team in the world, and has the best player in the world” was Neymar’s words.

So after all the fights neither Barca or Real got the black pearl. Only time will tell what will be the club that will take advantage of player’s high skills.
