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...]
My Liverpool days are over: Pepe Reina
It is very common in soccer that a player starts noticing how gradually his aspirants are ignoring him, and when it starts happening to him, he should consider it an end of his relationships no matter how long it was. It usually happens when either he has grown enough to play again or his team has got another talented player- better than him. This is something that is being happened with Liverpool’s 31-year-old goalie Pepe Reina who always wanted to continue playing for his favorite club until the end of his career, but destiny has something else for him and that is why Anfield club has loaned him to Italian club Napoli last year. Though, he is happy playing under Rafael Benitez’s mentorship, yet he misses England very much. Now, when it has been made clear from the Reds that he would also not feature in the next season, he lost all the hopes and starts counting the end of his prosperous career. At the moment, he has somewhere around three years remaining to his current contract with … [Read more...]
