There is something fishy in Inter’s backyard. After a disastrous season last year, the top players want to fly away. And just right there, the rich clubs want to take advantage of that situation.

Manchester City is on alert after Samuel Eto’o quarreled with the new coach of Inter, Gianpiero Gasperin. City is willing to offer an exchange even on Carlito Tevez, a player that Inter showed lot of interest in the past.

The conflict between Eto’o and Gasperin started from the game system that coach wants to use it for Italian Super Cup against rival AC Milan. Media reveals that Eto’o was upset when he found out how Gasperin will use him in this system and asked to talk about a transfer with Massimo Moratti.

Another player with problems for Inter is Sneijder. The midfielder wanted of Manchester United avoid giving a clear answer regarding the future and the current indirect, talking about the team coach: “I had many coaches, each different from each other, but Mourinho remains the one I liked most, as a coach and as a man” said the Dutchman.

Can the things solve out before Serie A will start? Keep close!

on August 4, 2011 None comments

After a season that brought him very close to the transfer list, Benzema has done this summer some superb games in Real’s T-shirt. He scored six goals in six friendlies, turning in the team’s leading scorer at this time.

Karim Benzema was born on 19 December 1987. He primarily plays as a striker whose influence can extend out to the wings and is known for his technical ability, powerful style of play, and vast goal-scoring ability.

The Frenchman has scored a double in the friendly with Guangzhou, one double with Hertha Berlin and an empty one with each Leicester and LA Galaxy. The first match of the season for Real Madrid Spanish Super Cup will be on August 8, the first round of the double with their old time rivals, Barcelona.

Mourinho and company have taken a rematch after last year’s disastrous season when they lost the Champions League, managing to win only the Spanish Cup yet.

Spanish Primera will be an eye catchy this year because on the two top teams managed to squeeze a third one that got a bunch of good players and hopes to make a stand for the title. Can Malaga manage that? Or will Benzema and company stop them?

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.
