Every year premier league table makes a surprising shuffle among the top rank holders in the last phase of the season and this year is no exception. All the four toppers: Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool are eager to throw others out of the top four while Tottenham is the side who has lots of potential to surprise Blues to reach onto the top of table, this is what its 29-year-old Belgian footballer Mousa Dembélé believes. If we remember correctly the performance of White Hart Lane side last year, they challenged Leicester City for the title, but somehow collapsed towards the end of the campaign and finished only third after winning just one of their final five matches and experts then were surprised to see their sudden diversion from the right path. Although, they are now having a big nine points trail to the topper Chelsea and since more than half of the season has gone by, it is generally difficult to shrink as much gap when North Londoners are also in their finest … [Read more...]
Messi never fails in crucial games: Luis Enrique
Every player faces some kind of pressure ahead of a big game but there are few players who enjoy playing under pressure perhaps their performance is even better when they are supposed to deliver. This is the quality of big players who have earned this repo for their persisting on-demand performances and Messi is of course one of those players who are eager to crush the opponents when it matters the most. This is something which is also felt by the Barcelona manager Luis Enrique who says Messi always delivers when we need it the most. He said this after Argentinean helped Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal on Wednesday after Messi scoring Barca's second goal in a 2-1 win. He could have added another goal to his name but a super save from Miguel Angel Moya prevented him adding the one via a free kick, before he beat three men only for Neymar to miss from close range. Luis Suarez opened the tally for the visitors but this joy was short lived … [Read more...]
Rooney is staying with us, no in and out for ManU this winter: Jose Mourinho
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho seems to have convinced his captain Wayne Rooney to stay with them that is why Portuguese has loudly said no one is leaving ManU this winter, perhaps, he even says there will be no coming in or going out of Old Trafford. Over the last few weeks, fans were skeptical over the stay of Rooney with them since different stories were hinting different things: while few were linking him with the Chinese club, there were also few media houses who were denying any such move right from the beginning. Now, when Mourinho has made it clear that Rooney will be playing with them for rest of the season, fans can relax a bit as they will continue enjoying the services of club's all-time top scorer earlier for some more time. This is also noteworthy that no such announcement has come from player den but since he as well did not deny what his boss said, it is to be believed a patch-up has been taken place between the two behind the curtains. Replying over the … [Read more...]
Rooney would have been more appreciated in Europe than England: Ferdinand
Every big achievement in soccer is appreciated all around the world not only in the region such player belongs to and if we are talking about Rooney’s recent feat of scoring highest goals for Manchester United then we should assume Englishman would get equal appreciation in Europe as well, perhaps if we look at the way such players are being treated in their later age European sides are much better than their English counterparts and this is what is being felt by many Rooney fans who find their star player in miserable condition after his transfer talks to the Chinese club. The 38-year-old defender Rio Ferdinand is one such player who is surprised to see the treatment Rooney is getting despite being the highest goals scorer for ManU, maybe he is having some problem with his bosses else how is it possible that a legendary player of his class decides to move outside after surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton's Manchester United mark with his 250th goal for the club? Since Ferdinand has … [Read more...]
Joel Matip selection in Liverpool is in jeopardy after his international retirement dispute
Every player plays for his club and national side during his play career and later it is generally seen that he first retires from the international soccer and keeps playing for the club soccer but sometimes his international retirement attracts controversy that makes it difficult for his club to play him in club games. Liverpool’s 25-year-old defender Joël Matip is one such player who is having such a problem these days. Actually, Matip has not played for his national side Cameroon since September 2015 and he also made it clear back in December that he had no intention to represent his country in any international game which was taken as his international retirement but after his name was selected in Cameroon's squad for the ongoing African Nations Cup in Gabon it made it even more difficult for his club Liverpool to pick him overriding his international controversy. If we look at what Cameroonian Football Federation has to say they explain they have a right to do this under … [Read more...]
