This decision came after the 18 games ban applied by FFF after South Africa World Cup. Anelka had an altercation with former France coach, Raymond Domenech and refused to apologize.

From 1998 when he debuted at the national team Anelka scored 14 goals in 69 games and was among the players that won the European Championship in 2000.

The French striker is one of the few football players whose transfer amount exceeded €100 millions. He played during his career at clubs like PSG, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Liverpool, Fenerbahce, Manchester City and  Bolton.

Since 2008 Anelka is a Chelsea player. The 31 years old striker declared that he is sure about his decision and that he plays in Blue every weekend with Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti, his current manager declared that he has a good relation with Anelka and that they never argue about anything.

Robinho‘s transfer sum at Manchester City has beaten all the records for Premier League. The transfer sum was around £32.5 millions and if we consider also the players wages the sum reaches a very high amount.

The Brazilian superstar failed to confirm at City and was loaned at Santos for the second part of the last season.

The 26 years old forward signed a four year contract with Milan and the transfer sum was around £15 millions but the sum may rise depending on performances.

Milan gave up on Huntelaar who was sold to Shalke and Boriello who was loaned at Roma to make space for the Brazilian.

Milan will have a trio of Brazilians up front, with Ronaldinho, Robinho and Pato, and if we consider also Ibrahimovic then we can talk about one of the best attacking force in Europe.

Now the football betting sites consider them as the second favorites to win the title in this Serie A season.

The Rossoneri are trying to stop Inter dominance in Serie A and to become that feared Champions League team from few years ago.
