Will Real Madrid win the Champions League this year?

0

Real Madrid had one of the best games in the last couple of the years. It was the first game in this Champions League season.

The Spanish giants are in a “death group” along with Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax. Each team from this group have won the title in their country last year.

Premier League, Primera Division and Bundesliga are considered the best leagues in Europe and have the best ratings as all three countries have 4 allocated places for Champions League. Ajax as well is not a team to not take in consideration. Even if the glorious days have gone, Ajax can cause problems to any of the group teams.

Real Madrid played their first game at home against Manchester City. In the first half Real played with three defensive midfielders and were more cautious.

Anyway in the second half Mourinho forced the attack by trowing into the battle Ozil, Modric and Benzema.

Even if Real Madrid have dominated the game it was Manchester City who opened the score after Dzeko finished a superb counter.

Madrid players didn’t gave up and Marcelo equalized with a super right foot shout. The Spanish giants forced the win but City made another blow when Kolarov scored from a free-kick.

Real attacked in waves and when there were only three minuted from time Benzema managed to equalize with a well placed shoot. Ronaldo added the happiness into the stadium in the stoppage time when he beat Joe Hart with a cross shoot.

What is to be mentioned is that Real Madrid came back from behind two times and that they managed to win a game against one of the Champions League favorites. And that reminds us of that invincible team with Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckham and Figo.

If they will continue to play like they played last night then Real have big chances of winning the Champions League trophy this year.

Ronaldinho continues to impress in Brazil

Ronaldinho is undoubtedly one of the best  players in the World history of football.

ronaldinho

He is one of the most talented players along with legends like Maradona, Pele, Zidane and others. But like other super talents he left Europe too early.

In my oppinion Ronaldinho still has left in him a few years of world-class football. Ronaldinho enjoyed parties and long nights and that affected his performances and also made him leave Europe.

Other players like Party Casino, others do gambling some of them are smoking and these vices can destroy their careers.

Ronaldinho is still loved and appreciated by the fans from all over the World. Even if he is not scoring like Ronaldo or Messi his dribling and skills are amazing.

The Brazilian star has 4 goals for Atletico Mineiro this year.

 

Do Man Utd have the squad to compete in all competitions?

0

Arguably the biggest club in England experienced a system shock last season, ending up with no silverware and losing the title on goal difference to their fiercest rivals. A wounded Sir Alex Ferguson later admitted the damage this had done to his pride, but swore that his Man Utd side would come back stronger than ever before.

In the following months, Ferguson signed the Premier League’s highest scorer for the 2011-12 season Robin van Persie as a signal of intent. The Red Devils boss will be desperate to win silverware this season, whether that be in the League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League or the Premier League itself.

In terms of squad depth, Ferguson has a diverse range of players to select from. He has goalkeepers David De Gea and Anders Lindegaard, who are both proven after plenty of first-team experience. Defenders Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Johnny Evans, Phil Jones and Patrice Evra are all reliable. Midfielders Antonio Valencia, Nani, Ashley Young, Michael Carrick, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs all have a wealth of experience under their belts. Up front the likes of Danny Welbeck, Javier Hernandez, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie have been compared to the treble-winning quartet of Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham, Dwight Yorke and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 1999. Squad depth does not seem to be the issue – Ferguson however must be very careful in his team selection. Balance will be the key if the Red Devils are to keep the different plates of the League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League spinning.

As one of seven English clubs who qualified for European competition in the 2011–12 season, United received a bye to the Third Round of the League Cup. The draw took place on 30th August 2012, with United being paired with fellow Premier League club Newcastle United for a battle at Old Trafford. The FA Cup third round draw will be made on 2nd December, with the ties taking place on the weekend of 4th–7th January 2013.  As part of Group H in the Champions League, United will face Turkish giants Galatasaray, Romanian side CFR-Cluj and Portuguese team Braga. The Red Devils were previously drawn with Galatasaray in both 1993–94 and 1994–95, while Braga and CFR Cluj are new opponents.

In the Premier League, United have crucial fixtures on the horizon – the 23th September sees the Red Devils visit Anfield to face Liverpool, the 29th September has Tottenham visiting Old Trafford and in October, United face two tough away fixtures against Newcastle and Chelsea. In early December a huge clash will see Ferguson’s side face rivals Manchester City, in a game that could well have a bearing on the title.

Manchester United will have the bit between their teeth this season, and with the signing of Robin van Persie to boost the goal tally, silverware is certainly within reach. Ferguson will need to be sensible in team selection, and make sure no complacency enters his players’ minds.

Will Falcao leave Atletico in the next transfer window?

0

After the performance from the European Super Cup against Chelsea when he scored a hat-trick and won the game for Atletico, Falcao is probably the most wanted player in the World.

Chelsea are probably the most interested in buying the former Porto player. Rumors from England suggest that Roman Abramovic is an admirer of the Colombian star and that he tried to sign Falcao also last summer. It looks like Chelsea made an offer again but it was rejected by Atletico.

Falcao’s father declared that his sun’s dream is to play for Real Madrid. Mourinho would not say no to this transfer but its hard to believe that Atletico will even negotiate with their city rivals.

The Columbian striker declared that his wish is to stay at Atletico and help the team win  many trophies.

Falcao came at Atletico from Porto last year.

Fulham signed Berbatov

0

Dimitar Berbatov was one of the biggest  transfer targets for this summer transfer period.

Fiorentina were the favorites to sign the former Manchester United player but Juventus approached him just before signing with them.

When everybody thought that everything is settled and that Berbatov will sign with the Serie A champions, Fulham entered into the race of capturing the striker too.

The Bulgarian international preffered to remain in Premier League so he choose Fulham over Juventus or Fiorentina. The transfer sum is believed to be around 4 millions and the player will pen a two years contract.

Berbatov failed to keep his starting place at United even from last season and now with the arrival of Van Persie the chances of playing for United were limited.
