Murinho does magic

on August 10, 2011 None comments

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.

Surprise across the Europe

on August 8, 2011 None comments

As the championships around the Europe are giving their first game of the new season, the surprises didn’t wait much to be seen. The first two leagues that started, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 brought the biggest ones.

The main difficulty came for the hard betting ones, which lost a lot of money on, let’s say, 100% sure bets. Once again, the expression used by me a lot, “the ball is round”, came to show that.

Bayern, the big favorite for the title in Germany, was defeated on their home field on Allianz Arena by Gladbach, a team that recently played the game that assured it’s place in the first league in Germany.

Moving to their neighbors in France, PSG, the club that invested lots of money in transfers this summer, lost 0-1 in front of Lorient. Marseille has not done any better, having drawn 2-2 with Sochaux on the Velodrome.

These things show us once again that a victory is not obtained until the last whistle of the referee. A game starts from 0 – 0 and the difference is made by on spot imagination combined with skills from all the players from a team. This is why, football is named the king sport!

on August 7, 2011 None comments

With just one week before the 2011 – 2012 season of Premier League will start, the teams are testing players, finalize transfers and make their battle plan for the competition.

Chelsea’s new manager is on fire. He managed the third transfer of the summer. After Oriol Romeu (19 years) and Thibaut Courtois (18), Londoners have got to a deal with Romelu Lukaku Belgian (18) from Anderlecht.

The Striker gave 33 goals in 73 games for Anderlecht and already has 10 national selections in Belgium. Chelsea announced on its official site that Lukaku will support the medical tests and will sign the official contract early next week.

According to British media, the transfer of Lukaku will cost Abramovich about 25 million. The Belgian kid is compared to Drogba because of his style and was mentioned by a British magazine like the best young player in the world at his age category.

With all these acquisitions the Blues have to make a good figure this year in Premier League. But they are not the only ones. Manchester United and Manchester City have a very good chance this year also and, we can’t forget The Gunners.

More players for Mancheste City

on August 6, 2011 None comments

A fact is that City dominated the transfer market and is willing to offer anything just to you have the most important players on the planet. This thing is though something to satisfy their coach, Mancini.

He says that the owners need to bring at least four more players to match the force of Manchester United. Mancini believes that Champions League experience will end his guys physical and ask for backup: “I have 20 players in the squad than I can count, United has 29! We cannot compare now with them.”

Mancini complain that they have players, but he told Bellamy, Onuoha, Adebayor and Wayne Bridge that their service are no more needed for the team and let them prepare themselves at Manchester.

Club leaders are about to succeed a new big transfer. Samir Nasri is increasingly closer to the City, like Sneijder, who seems to get a deal with City. Inter will receive 36 million for him and the player has 6 million per season.

The fact that Mancini is unsecure for the next season shows once again why in football you need the entire team to work and individual talents can’t pull after the entire team.
