0

Spain started the Euro 2012 tournament with a draw 1-1 against Italy. It was a game between the last two European Champions.

The first half ended with a white score. After the break Italy was the team who opened the score trough Di Natale. The Udinese attacker was introduced just minutes earlier to replace Mario Balotelli. But the advantage did not take long as Fabregas leveled the score again.

Both managers proved that they were very inspired as they both made some good moves. Vicente del Bosque surprised everyone by advancing Fabregas into the forward role. On the other side Prandelli made the right choice when he replaced Balotelli with Di Natale.

With this result both teams remain with big chances of qualifying from the group stage. Spain are the main favorites to win the title again along with Germany.

Chelsea to sign Hazard

Eden Hazard has finally decided on his future and announced that he will sign with the Champions League winners after all. The Belgian wonderkid has been linked with a move to Manchester City but has changed his mind after Chelsea won the Champions League.

Manchester United were also interested in signing the player but the agent  financial demands were not accepted by the club.

It is believed that another important factor that made him change his mind is that Chelsea guaranteed him a starting place in the team while City didn’t.

Hazard has been awarded with the Ligue One player of the season in the last two seasons and won the championship last year with Lille.
