Neymar can chose

on August 3, 2011 None comments

Many people began to ask if he is that of a good player when all these clubs are fighting for him. Neymar went from an unknown to the most desired star. A player that caught two of the best clubs in his net and plays with them like with two balls.

Adriano, Barcelona’s defender and colleague at the same time at the national team of Brazil with Neymar, said in a press conference that he spoke with him during a workout about Real and Barca and about the fact that he is wanted in the lot.

“ I talked to Neymar during training. I wonder who will choose between Barcelona and Real and told me he did not know yet, and anyway he can’t tell anyone. A move at Barcelona would be a nice transfer” said Adriano.

Neymar is very close to Real, the press in Spain has wrote in the past weeks about a transfer of 45 million, but the Brazilian player wants to come to Spain only in January, which doesn’t seems to please Mourinho.

A player worth that amount of money must be used during the entire season. And now, Neymar isn’t able to deliver.

Cesc Fabregas seems to be the hottest name on the transfers list. Barcelona’s offer of 36 million is very close to being exceeded. The new sum comes around on 41 million euro, an offer from a big club in Europe. AC Milan is ready to make a bid for Fabregas far superior to that of Barcelona.

Italians will provide 41 million euros (£ 35millions) for Arsenals captain, an amount very close to the one Arsenal asks for the player.

AC Milan’s interest is a serious one and the only hesitation of Fabregas in terms of transfer to Barca has always been the matter regarding a secure place in the first 11. At Milan, would not question especially after Pirlo’s departure to Juventus.

Fabregas is in the middle of a war between Arsenal and Barca, negotiations got Arsene Wenger very frustrated and not knowing if he can count on the player next season.

German Cup full of surprises

on July 30, 2011 None comments

The German Cup is one of the competitions with the highest number of surprises per season. The games are very equal , the teams are very close in value, so you can be sure that a game is won only after the final whistle, no matter the score.

After Wolfsburg which was eliminated by a team of amateurs in the same competition in the first round, came among another former champion of Germany to be humiliated.

Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 was the leading team in the match with Dynamo Dresden after Derdiyok, Sam and Schurrle’s goals taking the score to 3-0. But the opponent drew and scored the decisive goal in 117 minutes killing all hopes for Leverkusen. Dynamo Dresden is a team that just promoted from the second league in Germany.

This score is not a very positive one, taking in mind that is not the best way to start a championship, talking about the team morale. What will happen from now on will be catchy for the eye and I can say that this season of Bundesliga will be a disputed one.
