Liverpool are interested in signing Vargas

0

Liverpool are interested in signing Juan Manuel Vargas from Fiorentina. The Peruvian winger was one of the most interesting players on the transfer market a few years ago with clubs like Real Madrid or Inter interested on him. But along with the team fall in form Vargas had a drop in form and the interest of the clubs disappeared.

Now it looks like Vargas is in top form again and Bayern and Liverpool are interested in signing him. The player has the advantage that can play everywhere on the left.

Probably Liverpool will move for Vargas only if Kuyt will leave. The Holland international expressed his wish to leave the club after being dropped to the bench by KennyDalglish.

Kuyt is one of the best paid players at Liverpool. Liverpool will definitely miss Champions League places this season again and reducing the total wages would be more than welcomed.

After five months of absence Antonio Cassano has received some good news. The Italian international needs only the approval of the “Istituto di Medicina Sportiva dell’Acqua Acetosa” and he can return to football field.

Cassano suffered a mini-stroke in November last year after a game with Roma. Cassano had a heart surgery after the incident and his career was in danger.

The 29 years old attacker was on the top of his career and many experts are saying that Juve is still close to Milan in Serie A standings because of his missing. Cassano played only nine games this season in which he contributed with 2 goals and seven assists.

Cassano may not be able to help his team too much this season but he can be useful for Italy at European championship.

Massimo Moratti has decided to sack Ranieri after a series of negative results which left the club at 10 points behind third place occupied by Lazio. It is believed that Moratti told the players that he expects them to finish third in the Serie A standings or all of them will leave.

Inter are going trough one of the most difficult season of all time. After Ranieri’s arrival the things started to go well and everybody tough that they will battle again for the title. But then a series of negative games started.

What’s also sure is that some of the old players will leave at the end of the season as their contracts will not be extended. Chivu and Samuel are among the players who’s contracts will expire in June.

Probably if Inter will fail to qualify for Champions League the old squad will be changed with youngsters.

The results are more valuable as they qualified in Champions League next round after a deficit of 2 goals to Napoli and also in the semi-finals of the FA Cup after a victory against Leicester.

The next game will be a tough one against one of their rivals, Manchester City. Chelsea will try to maintain their invincibility but that would not be an easy task.  You can buy Premier League Tickets for this game at Ticketbis.

Di Matteo expects to have John Terry and Ashley Cole for this game as both were unavailable. What’s also interesting is that the Italian manager made seven changes, to the team that played against Napoli, for the cup game against Leicester.

The manager proved that he can be a real solution for the team. Also another good news for the Chelsea fans is that Fernando Torres scored a double. The Spanish forward had not scored since October. He was also named the Man of the Match by most of the sport magazines.

Will Spain win Euro 2012?

0

There are only a few months until the start of the  European Championship. The tournament will be hosted by Poland and Ukraine.

As it was expected Spain are the major favorites to win the Championship according to Euro 2012 betting. Spain are playing the best football and the results prove this. Barcelona are the best club in the World and Spain are the best national in the World at the moment. They are playing a possession game, a nice to watch game. As may coaches declared they are a team hard to beat but easy to prepare because everybody knows what to expect from them.

The only manager who won a trophy, when played against Barcelona or Spain, is Jose Mourinho who won the Champions League with Inter in 2010 and the Spain Cup with Real Madrid.

There are also some bad news if we can call them this way. David Villa, the top goalscorer from qualifications is injured with a fractured tibia and his presence at the final tournament is in doubt. Even if he will made the squad for the final tournament he may not be in the best shape and this could cost Spain. Fernando Torres is going trough a bad period as well.

But Spain are a team with a lot of world-class players and I’m sure they will cope with all the problems. What’s also nice to see is that Spain are mixing experienced players with young talents. There are a lot of players coming from behind and this is a must for continuity.

The European champions were assigned to group C along with Italy, Republic of Ireland and Croatia. Probably the first game against Italy will establish the winner of the group.

Spain played against Italy also at Euro 2008 in the quarter-finals. The game ended 0-0 and after penalties Spain were the team who advanced to the semi-finals.  The whole Euro 2012 program is already available.

Germany and Netherlands are among the favorites as well. Both teams are in Group B along with Portugal and Denmark.
