It always gives pleasure to players knowing that their manager is backing them to understand the reason behind any mistake they unintentionally did in the field and last Barcelona vs Roma champions league game was one such game that ended in a 1-1 draw despite the fact that Spanish giant were dominating throughout the game and it was Alessandro Florenzi’s long strike and little bit mistake done by the Barca goalie to defend the shot that helped Italian side to equalize the lead and manage to conclude the game as draw. The only goal from Barcelona was fired by Luis Suarez at Stadio Olimpico but Florenzi shot shred off the lead. Generally, this kind of mistake from a goalie is taken as the big one but Barcelona coach Luis Enrique is not following the tradition, perhaps, he accepts his own mistake for the equalizer and defended his goalie for his hard work throughout the game. This could be his brilliant attempt to keep players moral high knowing they will not be fired after every tiny … [Read more...]

While Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez is enjoying perks of having best players in the world, he is also taking every little problem too seriously; maybe he is trying to pretend himself more dedicated than he should be. The priciest player of the game Gareth Bale may not be in his best form these days but his price tag is enough to demoralize any side hence Benítez doesn’t want to let any injury concern to his key players go and Champions League Group A win against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday was one such game that gave Spanish mentor more reasons to worry about. The 4-0 triumph was enough to take the Spanish giant on the top of their group but game also saw Bale picking up a calf muscle problem and manager informed in the post-match news conference that severity of the injury can only be known after few medical tests. Until then no one knows how much time it would take to heal and new boss seems to be over concerned with the injury despite having an army of world class players ready … [Read more...]

When Chelsea is finding it hard to repeat their last year show in domestic premier league, it’s time to test their strength at European circuit that is why their next Champions league game against Israeli club Maccabi Tel-Aviv is being seen as a test to check if they are still worthy to be called the champions. It is yet to be believed that last season’s top notch performers are failing in every department of the game and manager José Mourinho also looks like helpless when it comes to motivate a losing side, yet Blues fans are known for not losing the hope and for that reason experts are still counting over Blues return in both domestic as well European leagues. North Londoners 27-year-old midfielder Nemanja Matić is the one who sees their Wednesday night game as the battle field to survive their odds in UEFA league.

This season of English premier league is going to be toughest in many years and this guess has been made by none other than several English experts who closely monitor each transfer activity of every leading English side. If we talk about if it is going to be easy for defender Chelsea to reclaim their title after exaggerated claims being made by almost every club and not to mention transfer budget of all the sides combined has also increased making it sure everyone wants nothing but the best. When competition is so tough, how is it possible for any player to keep his place secure in the team without delivering good performances continuously? Midfielder Eden Hazard is one such player who seems to be below with his show this year. He is the same player who won both PFA and Football Writers' Association Player of the Year awards last year for his key contribution in Blues triumph to the English topflight and with that form fans had expected him to grow therefrom, but unfortunately, … [Read more...]

If anyone is asked what is the contemporary process being followed by players while moving to another club? His answered would be out of the text book. Yes, first: media starts raising rumors that a particular player is in link with another side. Next: players denies of having any talk with the side and later something happened in the backyard and we heard the news that he moved to the side he has until been refusing his move to. This is nothing but all marketing to raise your value and convince your aspiring side to bring you into their squad confidently. Paris Saint-Germain players are not generally seen as keen for a move and most of the time whenever a report comes in the media that any PSG player is interested in a switch, it is grossly taken as false and this could be something that is being happened with 33-year-old striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has been reportedly in touch with number of sides lately including, of course, Arsenal and AC Milan. Initially, the reports were … [Read more...]
