The growing intolerance among the fans has recently been a great cause of concern for every side playing at foreign soils and if there has been some kind of bitterness among the players, it is assumed such a game would have to be taken strictly by the ground security personnel to avoid any unwanted situation and last Barcelona vs Celtic game at Celtic Park was supposed to be one such game and after Neymar is accused for getting Scott Brown sent off when they met three years ago, everyone expected it to get worsen with each passing boo in the ground and during the game when there happens to be an ongoing battle with Celtic right-back Mikael Lustig, security staff at the ground got their fire arms ready to face any situation but thankfully all the boos for the Brazil star reached deafening levels when he was withdrawn in the second half. But Barca manager Luis Enrique seemed to be grossly satisfied with fans behavior during the game, in fact, he called it European football's ‘greatest … [Read more...]
Beckham hails Ibrahimovic and calls him one of the greatest
It is generally believed in contemporary soccer that if any player has crossed thirty five years, his days in professional soccer are numbered and it holds more specifically true in club soccer where expectations are much higher than international competitions. Manchester United’s 35-year-old Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one such player who has recently been in the limelight for his 11th Swedish Player of the Year award on Monday and six goals in 11 Premier League matches this season, and since ManU show in the season has been like a disaster, it is being taken as the noteworthy contribution from a thirty five year old player despite having many world class young players in the side including Pogba who recently become the priciest player for the Red Devils.

It always pinches to the core when a national side playing a crucial world cup qualifier misses its key players for injury and this is something that seems to be happening with England national team which is about to miss the services of Wayne Rooney. Yes, this is a surprising news but true that Manchester United player will not be available for the England's friendly against Spain on Tuesday after missing Three Lions training on Monday morning with a ‘minor’ issue. Rooney is the only one to miss the upcoming national games for injury reason since another player Ryan Bertrand also sustained the minor injury but he will remain with the national side and possibly play in the upcoming qualifiers.
