Once a known personality and now an almost gone by soccer professional, the Italian Roberto Mancini, is again in the news for signing a three-year deal with Turkish club Galatasaray. However, the amount he agreed upon is much less than what he used to be getting at the City, yet he is happy to have another chance to prove his worth to football fraternity. The 48-year-old former City coach will face Juventus this Wednesday which will be his first meet with his native club though mentoring another team. Being a Juventus native, he would enjoy home support but since he is standing right on opposite of them, there could be a big dilemma for many of his fans whether to support him or their own team.

Exaggerated Balotelli is very important: Allegri
Every team has at least one world renowned player and when this player tries to overrule other teammates, it creates a level of discomfort within the team. Yes, we are talking about Milan’s controversial striker Mario Balotelli who has always been in the news for his non sporting behaviors, and this time, he gained the headlines for his comparison with none other than Barcelona’s Messi and said, he can win any match like Argentine international which somehow demoralizes other players.

Football pundit says Manchester United could be the next Liverpool
Football fraternity is like a whole world in itself filled with experts, pundits, and all kinds of game professionals who take themselves as the true interpreter of every little happening over here. If we compare current Premier league with that of previous one, there is one significant difference, i.e., performance of defending champions; perhaps it is the worst campaign for United in last 24 years, and it is highly unlikely they can defend their title this time. Things were not so under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, but it is getting very difficult to manage things for the newly appointed boss David Moyes. There is nothing which is happening all of a sudden coz many pundits have hinted something like this when Moyes was failing on each of his aspirants in the last transfer window. In fact, he could only sign one player Marouane Fellaini successfully while missed on at least four players. Football pundits are comparing current Manchester United team with that of Liverpool of 1990 … [Read more...]
Terry to have a contract extension
Generally, it is believed that when a player exceeds a thirty, he is no more a valuable product for any team; hence he has very shunned chances to get a new contract. However, there are some legendry players who overruled this theory and remained a lucrative asset for their respective teams. Once controversial but now a star performer, 32-year-old Chelsea captain John Terry is one such player who can extend his stay at Stamford Bridge if Mourinho’s statement is to be believed. Reportedly, the former Everton manager is highly impressed with the way he is performing at the moment and if he continues in a same way throughout Championship league, manager can offer him another lucrative extension that would tie him for the rest of his career with The Blues. Last premium league season was not so active for the Terry coz he missed several matches, but this season he has shown a completely different level of fitness and dedication that impressed his manager to the core. Mourinho said after he … [Read more...]
David Moyes finds his team incompetent to triumph Champions League
Top soccer officials are known for their exaggerated media statements; perhaps most of the times, this is also a part of their game plan where they try to influence other teams by one mean or another, but United’s newly appointed manager seems to be moving far away from the footprints of his former legendry Sir Alex Ferguson who was known to demoralize any opponent by his intelligently spoken media statements. Moyes unexpectedly says that he doesn’t think his team has enough talent to triumph Europe this year, which means, he is also not optimistic for defending their league title. The statement came after their three initial defeats out of first six played league matches that threw them out of the top five spots. The most feasible reason for his shacking confidence could be his failure to sign some of his summer targets; perhaps he could not be successful on most of the occasions and many believe since he lacks negotiation skills he failed so many times in the last transfer window. … [Read more...]
