on April 30, 2011 None comments

Jose Murinho has another duel and this time is off the field. He managed to put all referees against him after the 3rd episode of El Clasico, both referees from Primera and Segunda Division, after Pepe’s elimination phase, after his foul on Alves.

“It is clear that there was red card foul, there is no doubt.” said absolutely all the referees who have spent two days together preparing the details for the last five league matches.

Being suspended for the return leg on the Camp Nou, Mourinho will not be able to sit on the bench for the last episode of El Clasico. He will have to ask a VIP place at the Camp Nou to watch the match. The only problem is that it’s not free! Barcelona is renting a VIP lodge with 20,000 euros in such matches.

Esteve Calzada, former marketing officer at Barcelona, said that Barcelona has to give up to 20,000 euros to welcome Mourinho as a VIP guest.

The Portuguese coach will always be guarded by two bodyguards starting after he arrives in Barcelona. The Catalan police will use an army of men to guard the Real’s coach, no. 1 enemy of Barcelona.

Fiorentina without Adrian Mutu

on April 27, 2011 None comments

Fiorentina is starting the Spring cleaning in the players rows. After a season with such small rate of success in all competitions, the Viola team wants to refresh the team and get rid of the players that don’t deserve to be in the team.
The first name on the transfer list that will go this summer will be Adrian Mutu.

And there are two reasons for this action:
– Its role will be taken back by the Montenegrin Stevan Jovetic, 21, considered the future star of the Viola team;
– In January, Fiorentina gave him the last chance, and he rewarded the club with many promises and few goals: only four. He has another year under contract with the Viola and the idea of staying sounds good for him, especially since the supporters love him. But if he feels unwanted, he will seek an alternative solution. So far, the offers come from outside Italy.

Statistics:
140 official matches played Adrian Mutu from Fiorentina;
69 goals (54 league, 4 in the Italian Cup, five in the Champions League, UEFA Cup 6)
played in Serie A at: Inter, Verona, Parma and Fiorentina
Will this measure help Fiorentina to make a comeback next season? Stay tuned!

Real Madrid dreaming for succes

on April 22, 2011 None comments

Although pretty far in Primera Division from Barcelona, Real wants to keep its flag up high against their old time rival. After 1-1 in the Primera and 1-0 in King’s Cup, Murinho’s team hopes for succes against Barcelona, the team with the best possession in the world!

One of Real’s stars, Cristiano Ronaldo commented:
“Let’s stay grounded after winning the Cup and start to prepare the Champions League double with Barcelona”.
“We have demonstrated that possession does not automatically win trophies. I had a positive attitude and mentality, I knew what to do. We are very united and that is our weapon.”

Despite the good form shoed by the galactics, they’ve been “hit” after Sami Khedira injured his thigh in Cup final and has almost minimal chances to catch the “double” from the League with Barcelona. The midfielder is treated in Munich to return as soon as possible in the ground.

The next stage from UEFA Champions League against Barcelona, the third meeting between the two teams in 3 weeks is set on the 27th April on Bernabeu Stadium.

This was a moment that nobody will forget as Real Madrid’s defender, Sergio Ramos, has dropped from his hands the Spanish Cup trophy, Thursday night as Real Madrid players headed to Cibeles Square in a bus to celebrate the win in the final against Barcelona.

The incident happened at 4.15 pm, when Madrid’s players were showing the trophy for thousands of fans presents on route. Sergio Ramos has dropped the cup from his hands and it fell in front of the bus, which passed over it.

Luckily the driver stopped immediately and brought the trophy from under the wheels of the vehicle. The Cup was sent to the jeweler who made it to be rebuilt, and those of Real Madrid have received a copy of it.

Real Madrid team defeated 1-0 after extra time, FC Barcelona, Wednesday evening on Valencia’s Mestalla Stadium, and won the King’s Cup for the 18th time in history and for the first time since 1993. The only goal of a very balanced match was scored by Cristian Ronaldo, in the 102 minute.
