Murinho done it again

on July 28, 2011 None comments

One of the most aggressive coaches in the world, Jose Murinho, has to deal with new problems. His last actions brought him a lawsuit.

Jean-Louis Dupont, the lawyer who led the famous Bosman case in 1995, will defend Jose Mourinho, which wants to escape from all of the sanctions imposed by UEFA. Mourinho was suspended 5 games after the statements made at the end of the match at Camp Nou in the Champions League semifinals.

Mourinho will be presented tomorrow in front of the board of the UEFA in Nyon: “For me there is something very important. I want to go tomorrow in Madrid until the time that I can do training with my team. I don’t want to lose a whole day for this.” said Real’s coach.

Dupont revolutionized modern football, when Bosman, a former modest player of RFC Standard Liege, who in 1995 won a trial that lasted five years, at the end of which, any players could transfer freely, free from the end of the contract within the EU.

Can Dupon help Murinho with this? But this thing is handmade with JM initials on it!

Fabregas at Barca, finally!?

on July 25, 2011 None comments

Could it really be true? The rumors say that after a lot of long and hard negotiations, the Fabregas at Barcelona soap opera is almost to the end.

Arsenal is ready to let Fabregas to go to Barcelona but they want in return to receive 36 million euros, which is just last offer of Catalans, plus Thiago Alcantara!

The only thing is that the transfer will be up only with the condition that Alcantara will be part of this understanding. The media from UK reported that Barca’s vice president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, was in London to negotiate the transfer and put an end to all this theatre.

Arsenal is evaluating Fabregas around 45 million but are they are willing to accept a smaller amount as long as the Catalans offer includes Alcantara in the package.

The ball is now in Barcelona’s courtyard now and Guardiola must decide if he’ll let go of the international Spanish U21 which he said is part of his plans for the next season.

But after all, will this transfer do any good for Fabregas? Can Barcelona, and better said, Guardiola shape more from this diamond? Keep close!

Argentina disappoints

One of the reasons is that they come to national team bored and without the appropriate mood to play. They say that it’s time for young people that are hungry for victory.

An entire country points Messi and Tevez as the first responsible of the failure on Saturday, in the game against Uruguay in Copa America (1-1, 4-5 on penalty.

Elimination of competition is seen as a “national failure” by the country’s most important newspapers, Clarin, Ole and La Nacional, which sweep away the current international and require new faces to batch.

The years past from the last triumph of Argentina in Copa America reached number 18 (1993)

“Let Maradona come back!”

The current coach, Sergio Batista said: “We always said that the most important is the World 2014″. “But a Copa America in your country is not important?” After a survey made, the result shows: 86 percent of the 2,000 participants are against Sergio Batista and they want Maradona back!
