In a meeting which held all its promises between two technical teams, the Pharaohs were able to be more realistic than the Super Eagles. With this success, the Egyptians have one foot in the quarterfinals while the Nigerians will have more room for error in their last two matches. Match

After the now traditional minute of silence was observed before each game of the CAN in honor of Togolese who have lost their lives during the attack on their bus on Friday, the game starts in a balanced manner, but with two teams decided to move forward. Obasi Ogbuke, for Hoffenheim striker holds alongside that of Everton, Yakubu Ayegbeni at the forefront of the team Shuaibu Amodu. This choice pays off as Obasi Ogbuke is very leg. The 23-year spreads over the right to remove a hook Fathallah and knocks on the door of the penalty area left foot. The ball ended his run in the opposite corner of the net. El Hadari relaxes well but can only touch the leather (12th).

Nigeria starts better

Among the Egyptians, the dribbler called Zidan Mohamed Zidan. The Borussia Dortmund player triggers the reaction of the Pharaohs. The 28-year reminds us then his glorious namesake. After a checkmark in the box, he shoots a powerful shot which goes narrowly wide of the cage Nigerian (23rd). It is again worth a few minutes later, Zidan is fully launched in depth, but must contend with Yobo to get into position to strike, but he eventually loses the ball (33th). Nigeria is dangerous and is not content to wait. The Super Eagles continued to attack and play their game, a fast game where they use many sides, on which they are in trouble their opponents. This is the case in this cons-attack launched by the Marseilles Taiwo who struck on his left flank. It cleverly gives back to Uche strikes of 15 yards but a few centimeters, the leather is not framed (33rd).

Players Hassan Shehata is finally rewarded on a flash-cons. The balloon is released into the Nigerian camp and Motaeb is the first over. Goalkeeper Enyeama, party adventure nowhere, is easily eliminated by the Egyptian striker 26, which, outside the penalty area, adjusting a shot into the empty goal (34th). One last kick of Taiwo shook the Egyptians (45th) and half time is a whistled score parity logic.

The veteran Egyptian Hassan, gives victory

Nigeria returned locker rooms with the best intentions. John Obi Mikel tried to talk his technical area but the opposing player dribbles Chelsea finally do nothing (48th). But having weathered the highlight of the Super Eagles, Egypt renewed the attack and takes the lead through captain Hamed Hassan! Zidan, very good in this part, struck on the right, set his defender and back into the race to Hassan. The Egyptian captain hit 34 years in power, from 27 yards. The ball deflected by Taiwo is failing the Nigerian porter (54). Whoever is playing in his 7th CAN, won three, gives the advantage to his. The Pharaohs have now taken over and are close to triple the bet but the striking of the striker Motaeb passes over the bar when he was alone with the keeper. A minute later, Zidan is nearby the 3rd but its direct free kick is slammed into a corner by Enyeama. Bundeslmiga player tries his luck again but his shot from 20 meters is not cropped (73).

The powerful shot of Taiwo requires El-Hadary, goalkeeper 36 years of the team from northern Africa, to lie (75). Finally, the Egyptians will finalize the discussions with a 3rd goal. Nagui, who had just returned, struck in line and released a shot from 20 meters clear. Enyeama relaxes but too short (88). The break is made for Egypt, which finally prevailed logically on Nigerians. In a Group C clash which has kept all its promises, both teams have shown a very good technical level and developed the game The Super Eagles have perhaps been a little too players face the double defending champion who wins experience, showing a greater realism. Players Hassan Shehata has one foot in the quarterfinals after beating the best team from the hen. In turn, those of Shuaibu Amodu has already allowed to make mistakes during their next two matches against Benin and Mozambique.

The essential Ambrosini

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:06:34 PST

Within a team AC Milan, which now points to second place in Serie A after Sunday's success against Juventus Turin (0-3), Massimo Ambrosini connects the benefits of high class for several weeks. Rossoneri captain since the retirement of Paolo Maldini this summer, the midfielder remains at 32 years, an undeniable element of the system introduced by Leonardo.

Milan, January 6 last. The Genoa is humiliated (5-2) by AC Milan. Ronaldinho's teammates included two penalties received during the meeting, each consecutive time a foul on Massimo Ambrosini. A new proof-if it must, the essential role played by the number 23 in Milan.

The midfielder placed before the defense shines this season with the 4-3-3 concocted by Leonardo, including alongside Andrea Pirlo, he is the "bodyguard" of record. Important also off the field, the native of Pesaro was appointed this summer Rossoneri captain following the retirement of Paolo Maldini. A "real honor" recognizes there. And above all, a true appreciation for one who has taken several years to successfully within a club he joined in 1995.

Teaching indisputable since ... three seasons.

Ambrosini was only 18 when he joined the great AC Milan in the mid ninety, after having played only one season in the pros in Serie B, the colors of the AC Cesena club trainer. After fretting for two years on the bench, he was loaned in 1997 in Vicenza. This will only unfaithful to his red and black jersey. In the shadow of the legendary Demetrio Albertini, he will continue to make its ranges, with forming a duo Gennaro Gattuso one of the most promising. Selected for Euro 2000 with Italy, the play including the last half hour of the final against France (1-2).

The result is much less rosy. Plagued by injuries, Ambrosini will take several years to find his best level and above his starting berth in midfield Milan. However, Carlo Ancelotti, who arrived on the Rossoneri bench in 2001, has always believed in the potential of the player. This is now the coach of Chelsea, which will restart at the beginning of the 2007/2008 season. A second chance qu'Ambrosini not let go.

Under contract until 2011

Sunday in the victory against Juventus (3-0), the Italian international, which displays 35 selections to the counter (the last being on June 22, 2008) was again one of the most players for its team, justifying the nickname given to him by the press Transalpine, which compares to Lupine for her willingness to "steal" the ball to his opponent. Second in Serie A thanks to this success, the Rossoneri are still at a respectable distance from Inter Milan, first with eight points. But nothing is settled yet in the race for the Scudetto, as the Rossoneri have a game less than their larger rivals. Nevertheless, Ambrosini acknowledged Sunday in columns Tuttosport that "there will be no great thing to do" if José Mourinho's men continue this momentum.

In cases where the prognosis is confirmed in the coming weeks, the club captain of the Lombard city can still take his revenge next season. It has indeed extended its lease for a season with his club still, with whom he has become bound up in June 2011.

Mancini, a dribbler to the OM

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 01:52:48 PST

Didier Deschamps has been successful ... The coach of Olympique Marseille will soon be able to count on a new player in its workforce at the time to begin the return phase of Ligue 1. This Friday, Jean-Claude Dassier, the Marseille chairman, told Europe 1 Alessandro Mancini, partner of Inter Milan, will enter Monday with the OM in the form of a loan (without option of purchasing) which will end at the same time as 2009-2010.

Within a few hours, everything has accelerated ... Since the friendly match played Wednesday by Olympique de Marseille against a selection of Languedoc-Roussillon (4-1), Didier Deschamps was pouting under the condition of his troops. Among the wounded (Niang, Lucho, Heinze, Gnabouyou), the players left at the CAN (Taiwo, Kabore, Kone), Mathieu Valbuena on departure and interrogation Hatem Ben Arfa, the French engineer probably felt a bit helpless mainly in the area offensive.

A loan of 6 months

At the beginning of January already decisive, the OM should not remain apathetic. And Friday night, Jean-Claude Dassier, the strong man of the club, told Europe 1 that an agreement has been reached with Inter Milan striker Alessandro Mancini. Which will be presented to the press on Monday on the Canebière. Initially, the Olympians wanted above all a player leaves the club to avoid a deficit, but the urgency of the competition took over. Mathieu Valbuena, who expects a door opens to pack is still there despite the arrival of Brazilian striker.

The Sky and White have therefore reached an agreement with the Nerazzurri to retrieve the dribbler South America, as capable of occupying the right lane as the left flank and join the OM for six months in the form of a loan. A priori, this is therefore a very good rookie who arrived on the quayside. At first only because the former prodigy of Atletico Mineiro is not the best for 18 months. Sparkling with AS Roma, the native of Belo Horizonte has lost its great since he started with Inter Milan in 2008 and with José Mourinho, had hitherto been tenured that only once in Serie A since last August.

Brandao to the?

Despite certain technical qualities (French spectators still remember the treatment at Lyonnais Réveillère, March 6, 2007, in the Champions League), the level land the player remains a mystery. The bet is risky for the OM, which will likely benefit from Auriverde that until May, since it does not have an option to purchase. At 29 years, the challenge offered by representatives of Ligue 1 is important for one who was also tracked in the month of January by the Greeks Olympiakos or Sampdoria of Genoa. A return to AS Rome had even been contemplated as part of an exchange with "the Beast", Julio Baptista ...

Ultimately, it is the France that will discover Alessandro Mancini. The attacking trident Olympian of January is a little more shape. Pending the return from injury of Mamadou Niang and the end of the episode Ivorian Bakari Kone, Hatem Ben Arfa, Brandao Mancini and therefore should facilitate the Marseille attack. On paper, the association has great looks, remains to be seen what will make the ground truth. As for the future, if the entrant is required, the hypothesis to see Brandao move progressively towards the bench in favor of a Niang repositioned in line to leave Inter at the former Nice and Ben Arfa care to compete for two spots remaining holders, is real.

Neville on the end

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 07:33:00 PST

In May, after the current year, a symbol of Manchester United will hang up the cleats. Used by injuries the past two years, Gary Neville does not see offer for extension by his club and will end a career rich and full. At 35 years, and after 17 seasons at the highest level, the former England international necessarily leave a great void in the right lane.

Somehow, all part of the pitch at Old Trafford is his ... It will nevertheless be a reason. On the evening of the 38th and final day of Premier League for the match against Stoke City, no doubt the fabulous Public Theater of Dreams, acknowledging, will do him a tribute. It does not erase it 17 seasons as a back of his hand.

The longevity despite criticism

Because if loyalty Giuseppe Bergomi, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Del Piero or Ryan Giggs is often stressed, Gary Neville has nothing to envy to his fellow Italian and Welsh. Arrived in the first team in 1993 under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson, the native of Bury had left over the tunic holds indisputable. Without doubt he would still present even in the rotation if a Scottish engineer nasty foot injury had not sidelined for over a year. And since last August, the older brother Phil has appeared five times in league with the Red Devils for four tenure in the Champions League.

Not bad for a grandpa on the decline ... But, contrary to Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer once, too viscerally attached to training Mancunian, English has never been unanimous. Often mocked, or even severely criticized by the press across the channel for some memorable balls, the classic No. 2 was even more merit to cling and stay on top level, ignoring the jeers and diatribes .

However, at a time when the sun is about to lie down on the fabulous journey of Gary Neville, time is more respect and admiration on the path. And his record speaks much in his favor since MU has won him two C1, nine league titles in England, a Intercontinenale Cup, two FA Cup finals and a World Cup for clubs.

An example according to Ferguson

In club, the right side has been the most successful, but was much less spoiled the national squad, despite 85 caps who command respect. Solid defensively and tactically more rigorous, Neville has however always fished offensively, which has prevented him from scoring at least once with the jersey of the "Three Lions" on their shoulders. A anectodes that does not detract from the quality of the career of primary interest.

As evidenced by the recent testimony of his coach always, Sir Alex Ferguson: "He never had the talent of Ryan Giggs or Paul Scholes but has always shown strong determination that made him indispensable. It has also demonstrated great courage to come back with his latest injury. At his age it was not won. But he was absolutely fantastic. This demonstrates what ... Gary is an amazing man ". The compliments are strong and are not necessarily in vain from the mouth of the Red Devils coach.

Cicinho in search of lost time

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 06:40:59 PST

It is not enough to be a Brazilian side and being passed by Real Madrid to secure a place in a large formation of Europe and therefore in Selecao. Barre course by Maicon and Daniel Alves at right back position, Cicinho has literally disappeared from circulation. And even the Roma, which he joined in 2007 from Real Madrid, the player is even more incumbent after a return from injury. Morality, the player hopes, at age 29, joining his former club Sao Paulo in Brazil to find playing time And here again, nothing is done ...

Arrived at Real Madrid in 2005 from Sao Paulo, Cicinho was announced as a new Roberto Carlos, with the difference that the player was in the right lane. But hold only 15 times with the club merengue in its first season, the Brazilian did not convince Wanderlei Luxemburgo, who preferred the same age Michel Salgado during the season. And since that period, the native Pradopolis never managed to resurface. Losing confidence, the defender would then be up to Sergio Ramos and Michel Salgado, once again, to share game time under the command of Italian Fabio Capello.

Ranieri the sulks

Ships to Roma in 2007, the player resumed the hair of the beast under the orders of Luciano Spalletti, before taking the closet during the current year with the arrival of Claudio Ranieri, the former Juve coach. Since the beginning of the season, the Brazilian has attended only two league games. Wounded and hampered in its progress by a knee injury, the International has never been able to grasp his chance in the club of the Italian capital, preferring to align Ranieri Italian Mauro Cassetti.

Today beset by doubts, Cicinho is expressed in the Brazilian media to not only request a transfer, but also demand a return to countries like Adriano or Ronaldo for the most unknown. And for that, the defender is ready for anything, even leaves to reduce his salary for the return game time no later than Monday, the player spoke on the Brazilian site and Lance has restored voice after have already proclaimed his intentions to the microphones of the TV channel Globo. "I'm very optimistic," and said the Brazilian international, determined in the columns of Lance. "Roma do not terminate my contract, but nevertheless there is a big possibility that I return to Sao Paulo," he said, before explaining: "I indicated my commitment to my club. It is a years of World Cup and I reminded them that this would be a good thing both for me than for them. "

A new transfer bench for waxing?

Capped 17 times, the Brazilian is seen perhaps too good while world class players fighting for a spot at this position in Brazilian selection. In this position, the five-time world champions are already well supplied with Maicon, the former Monaco and current Inter and, of course, Daniel Alves, who won six trophies this season with FC Barcelona.

Even Joao Miranda seems better placed than him and only 25 years while Cicinho in now 29. Joao Miranda, who can also play the position of central defender, moving on ... Sao Paulo. To think that Cicinho really love waxing the sidelines ...

Ferrara on an ejection seat

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 09:07:49 PST

Things are bad at Juve. Despite the victory stalled ahead of Inter Milan (2-1), December 5 last, the Old Lady has been a disastrous year-end. Designated guilty of the club's current poor form and low level of play displayed since the start of the season, Ciro Ferrara, the technician bianconero is clearly threatened. Guus Hiddink, the coach of Russia, is in talks with Roberto Bettega, sports director for the pick in hand. A few days ago, is Luiz Felipe Scolari who had refused such offers.

Ciro Ferrara, the coach of Juventus, is being stared at. Third place currently occupied by the club leaves hardly think that the institution is in crisis biancone. Yet, many waving whirlpool training Turin.

Guus Hiddink, the coach of Russia, recently admitted having declined a proposal to replace Juventus Ciro Ferrara to head the first team. But Roberto Bettega, sporting director of Juventus, is still in negotiations with the Dutch to convince him to take the place of the current technician on the Bianconeri bench. There is talk of an annual salary of 10 million euros.

Hiddink, Scolari, Hiddink still ...

This revelation, stamped Tvoi Den (a Russian tabloid) has thrown a stone into the pond Friday, especially since it comes just days after Luiz Felipe Scolari made the same announcement. On the official website of the Uzbek club Bunyodkor, the technician 2002 world champion with Brazil have confirmed also extended the same offer. "Yes, I have had a proposal for Juventus, he conceded, before adding, but I refused. I am completely satisfied with the conditions that gives me the club Bunyodkor. I stay in Uzbekistan until the end of my contract with the club. "

Acting upon taking office last May to take over from Claudio Ranieri, transferred, Ciro Ferrara was subsequently confirmed in office. But the subject of the appointment of a new technician to the end of fiscal year 2009-2010 has been democratized. Uninhibited, Marcello Lippi, the current coach of the Azzurri, ensured there was little in the Gazzetta Dello Sport that a return to the head of the Old Lady was not on the agenda for the next summer. "I do not know what I'll do after the World Cup, but I will not go to Juve, neither coach nor as a manager. People can think what they want."

True-false Pep Guardiola

In the crosshairs of the tifosi for his average record after half a season, Ciro Ferrara suffers from being unable to keep pace with the infernal printed Inter Milan, leading with 9 points ahead of the Piedmont Club. "Juventus of Turin is not in his place. It was supposed to do much better, we explained Roberto Beccantini, great journalist at La Stampa, earlier this week. Ciro Ferrara is too young. It is sorely lacking in experience". On his arrival at the helm of training Bianconi, fans hoping for a path to Pep Guardiola FC Barcelona: a former darling of the public back as a coach is his knowledge about the club and takes all in its path. But is not that Pep Guardiola wants and Ciro Ferrara has learned the hard way by being already, even before we've finished an entire season on an ejection seat.

Jean-Claude Blanc, president of Juventus, at least maintains its confidence in the former defender of the Old Lady. "Ciro is and remains the coach of Juventus," he pointed out after the debacle registered against Bayern (1-4) at home (mean elimination) on the evening of the 6th day live chickens League champions. Rebelote two weeks later, after another setback, this time against the Red Lantern, Catania (1-2), still in the cave of the Bianconeri: "The guideline does not change in a few days." The next two league games for Juventus will be decisive for the future of Ciro Ferrara. Problem, training Piedmont will face Parma in quick succession, the amazing promoted which ranks 5th in Serie A to the truce, and AC Milan ...

Toni, a point for Roma

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 15:01:56 PST

A 2006 world champion back home. As expected, the Bayern Munich formalized, midday Thursday on its website, the loan for six months for Luca Toni to AS Roma. In lack of playing time in the German club (only played 4 matches in the Bundesliga), the Italian striker of 32 years returned home, 2 ½ years after his departure from Fiorentina. 4th in Serie A with a perfect record in the fall, training Ranieri has a true center-forward, a terror surfaces to accompany Totti, Vucinic and Menez.

With Luca Toni and Ruud van Nistelrooy, the winter mercato proposed two experienced scorers on the loose in their respective clubs, respectively, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The two thirtysomethings could find themselves in the Premier League, having experienced a beautiful glory days at Manchester United, the other being courted by fellow Italian Carlo Ancelotti to strengthen Chelsea, Didier Drogba denied during the month of January.

Road to World Cup

Luca Toni had nevertheless warned: if left Germany, his only possible destination would be his country. Wounded during the summer and then relegated to the bench (4 appearances in the Bundesliga 5 months) or meetings of Cups, the center forward of the 2006 world champions again in Serie A, two and a half years after leaving the Fiorentina, where he had scored a mere 47 goals in two seasons. A native of Emilia-Romagna and formed the club in the region, Modena, Toni has long baroudi before finally revealing to Palermo, from 2003 to 2005.

The ever-present Nazionale, Luca Toni could not simply play the linings of Mario Gomez, Ivica Olic and Miroslav Klose. "I should be in Rome for the occasion, he warned a few days ago on CBC Radio Centro Suono Sport Italian.

With the arrival of Toni, Ranieri could test a system he knows well from having played with Juventus, 4-4-2. Francesco Totti then regain more freedom to support the point Toni.

2010 is at our feet

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 14:59:53 PST

2009 is still there for a few hours, but 2010 with its international commitments, will not soon. And it starts with a CAD course we try to make you live closer. This will be a small hors d'oeuvre compared to the global event ahead of June 11 to July 11, 2010 next. This is obviously the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the first on the African continent. Finally, how can one not mention the Champions League could be exciting for the French clubs and Bordeaux in particular, better training for the group phase in 2009. And so, with that, you're not happy ...

2010 or the year of football! Whether you like it or not elsewhere ... And to start this wonderful year ahead, there will evidently the winter transfer window that could be busier than usual because of the African Cup of Nations in Angola from 10 to 31 January next. Training who wish to find the gem to replace certain elements disputing parties this international competition with their nation. Chelsea could also fun to pick a few players before seeing his recruiting ban applied during the next offseason.

And as a symbol, Roman Abramovich, the owner donor, just erase the debt of the Blues against him. And then there are players out of bed, as the OM Valbuena, who seek a destination to resume. Sinama-Pongolle, international selection with the Blues, has meanwhile already chosen. At six months of the first World Cup in Africa will be the Sporting Clube de Portugal after the Atletico Madrid. The transfer window opens its doors in France next January 4. It is well known, France does not like the others ...

And January 10th, we will open up in the CAN in Angola, perhaps not the most popular, but surely the most expensive in history and well covered "journalistically" speaking, this probably explains that. If journalists had to show their credentials with visa offered by attrition, the price of tickets for the games is exorbitant. At least, it will be better organized than the previous one in 2006 in Ghana. In a great "anything" in terms of transport or hotels, Egypt had won his 6th coronation. Pharaohs who will be hard to achieve such a feat first because the Ivory Coast and Cameroon ahead of favorites like logical and, above all, because the elimination against Algeria in game support the World Cup is still fresh in their heads (0-1).

It is hoped at least to all training undertaken a very nice competition with a special affection for Algeria, Tunisia, Mali and Côte d'Ivoire, the most represented communities in France in Africa. And a thought for Morocco, Senegal and Congo who have obviously failed at the stage of qualifying. Now, the best man win!

The African Cup of Nations will in any case a good preparation for the big event of the year, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa from June 11 to July 11, 2010. A World Cup which will be with the team, however, that France had to fight hard to win his ticket match against Ireland dams. It will not redo history, or erase the back of the hand precisely that of Thierry Henry but I expect a great performance from the team of France. For if I am not a big fan of Raymond Domenech as head of the team of France (as well not hide it ...), I prefer by far a beautiful course that the Blues off the road premature eviction of Raymond Domenech, who should in any way leave the ship at the end of the competition. I know that some expect the opposite, but not me, thinking that the team of France survive anyway the coach and the interests of the Blues must take precedence over that of its technicians. What I give to relive 1998? A second star on the jersey. We went so close in 2006 ...

Yet God is my witness that I was happy to see a communications expert to succeed Roger Lemerre and Jacques Santini as head of the Tricolor. But since then, Raymond Domenech, volleyed by the Federal Council, has accumulated blunders between the demand for marriage on the evening of the elimination of Euro 2008, his statements after the turn of dams against Ireland, its conferences Press sentimental and always made of wooden language and, finally, his denial of the premium for the qualifying campaign. Not to mention the ground. Of course, I could go on and better.

Nevertheless, I would wish to see the team of France carry the torch of the 2006 who had managed to climb to the final against Italy in Germany, with Raymond Domenech (we must render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar ), and with the result that we know. But here too, the best man win!

Finally, after I set you free, why not wait a feat for a French team in the Champions League, as had been done at Monaco's surprising final Champions League in 2004 against FC Porto? Bordeaux, the new Monaco? Not for me, no thank you! Rather Bordeaux, the new Porto Laurent Blanc in place of José Mourinho. Better training of the group stage, the Girondins can already pass an 8th-finals at their disposal against Olympiakos, which is more a return to Chaban-Delmas. Afterwards, he will anyway inflame the meetings and have that touch of madness which had enabled the DSO out consecutively Real Madrid in the quarterfinals and Chelsea in the semifinals.

I do not forget that Lyon will have one eighth more difficult to negotiate against the Merengues but nonetheless allowed two French clubs to pass, finally, the first round since 2007 and qualified in Lille and Rhodaniens. And LOSC, talk about it! If he could, and Marseilles, reached the final of the Europa League, 2010 I recall in 2004 with strange lights two clubs in the final European Cup. And hopefully this time, a different outcome. Let no one say that a French club can not win a European Cup. On a misunderstanding ... You know the rest!

Customers loyal readers or pass, bloggers, any team Football.fr wish you best wishes for the year 2010 presents! Hoping that this year's football offers happiness to his most fervent supporters.

2010, the year Diaby?

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 14:57:23 PST

Arsène Wenger had announced as the successor to Patrick Vieira. And if Abou Diaby, who has just extended, was better than the former captain of France? Since the start of the season, the Arsenal midfielder is amazing, allowing us to forget the influence of Fabregas if the Spaniard is absent. Song front runner in the 4-4-3, the player brought to AJ Auxerre has a physical impact impressive defensively as offensively. Domenech should seriously consider finally regularize the native of Paris, which would provide much more than L. Diarra and Toulalan.

Mathieu Flamini regret it? The player born and trained in Marseille merely the bench for the second consecutive season at AC Milan. At Arsenal, left out of contract, but he had earned his place holder, showing a phenomenal work alongside Cesc Fabregas in the 2007-2008 season. Arsène Wenger has not found its equivalent in the following year, tenured recyclers Alexandre Song or Denilson or more powerful Abou Diaby, intermittently brilliant.

It was not until this season to see the player trained in the AJ Auxerre (after a stint in the INF Clairefontaine) literally explode. Adebayor left, Wenger has finally adopted a 4-4-3 system with a peak (Van Persie first), two forwards (with Arshavin on the left), two media torchbearers enough free before a defensive midfielder (Song or Denilson). To accompany Cesc Fabregas, playmaker down the sublime vision of the game, Abou Diaby has made its physical impact. In recovery, it does its job brilliantly. In the attacks, it is essential, especially when to break open a defense huddled axis.

The successor to Vieira, he really is!

The regulars of the Emirates and formerly of Highbury and can forget Patrick Vieira, Arsenal captain of a king of England in 1998, 2002 and 2004. "Since my arrival four years ago, I had accumulated physical seeds. This season, I play a lot (15 in 20 days tenure of Premier League, editor's note) and I have enormous confidence in me. Then the tactical system Team, 4-3-3, suits me perfectly. I am part of the role of torchbearer and I blossom, "he said recently in the columns of the Parisian, who grew up on the side of Aubervilliers .

Vieira and Diaby? "There are similarities. They have the same physical and a similar style," Arsène Wenger had said on arrival Player 23, snatched at the mercato 2006 to AJA who did play occasionally. Holder, it might become unavoidable in the long term. Thus, this Thursday, Diaby has extended his contract for a long time. He thus announces: "It shows my commitment over the long term with Arsenal and I am very happy to be here, which explains why I am so happy to extend my contract."

Teaching the World Cup?

Flunked by Mathieu Flamini in 2008, Arsène Wenger has found the arguments (there was need?) To retain Abou Diaby. "Abu is a great player with great field presence and has the potential to be extremely influential at Arsenal for years to come," said the technician Alsatian in The Times. In France team strangely, the Gunner is a second choice. Raymond Domenech has confidence in a duo consisting of midfielders Jeremy Toulalan and Lassana Diarra. An alliance that does not often satisfactory, especially in the offensive production against teams in the lower class.

Regularly convened at Clairefontaine, Diaby has only 2 caps. A height from 3 selections Flamini for example. Yet that is exactly what the team needed to France for training to become more attractive. A solid defensive midfielder capable of quickly projecting forward. "I count two selections, but I have several times been part of the group, missed Diaby in Le Parisien. Every time I learn a lot in blue, even if I did not play. One day I wish I could show what I am worth and my qualities with this shirt. The World Cup is my goal. " If the World is a target of the Blues, will not he not rely on the "new Vieira?

Ribery-Hoeness big bluff?

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 14:55:10 PST

Here we go again! While the press announced Wednesday an agreement between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich for the transfer of Franck Ribéry next summer, according to the website Ran.de German, Uli Hoeness, the president of the Bavarian institution, has expressed in the columns of the German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung to deny information. Injured left knee since last October 3 and under contract until June 30, 2011, the French international is still far from the White House. According to its chairman ...

Predictably. While all the newspapers announced on Wednesday an agreement between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in June 2010 according to information published on the website Ran.de, also relayed the news agencies, Uli Hoeness, chairman of Bayern Munich wished to deny it Thursday in the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. An interview in which the officer asserts that he never signed an agreement with Real Madrid, even during the transfer of Arjen Robben in the previous summer transfer window.

At the time, according the site Ran.de, the Bavarians would not even paid the sum of 26 million euros for the sale of the Dutch international. Spaniards and Germans were in fact agreed at the same time for the transfer of Franck Ribéry for $ 55 million, including the sum for the transfer of Robben.

Hoeness: "There is no agreement"

But the chairman of the supervisory board of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness, has vigorously denied these facts, explaining that the player was already back in shape before even considering a transfer at the end of the season. Injured since October 3rd left knee, the Habs is recovering slowly and should resume with the Bavarian club at the end of the winter break.

Under contract until June 30, 2011 with Bayern Munich, Franck Ribéry has not yet extended its lease in Bavaria and is likely to go elsewhere during the next offseason. Especially if the club wishes Munich recover a transfer fee on it. Despite this, Uli Hoeness has said in the columns of German newspaper: "There is no agreement in principle with Real, no offer, no options and no discussion about Ribery or discussion with him. We paid for Robben the amount requested in a normal transfer.

Who says so?

Darling of the Allianz Arena, the 41 international appearances for jersey hit the cock 7 and achievements will have to wait before possibly from other climes in Spain and hope to have victory in the Champions League. For, if in its opinion not enough training for army to conquer a European title from the stables like FC Barcelona or Real Madrid precisely, "Scarface" does not make out. "Only if we see it has no chance (extended) we will begin discussions with other clubs. It makes no sense to start before he plays again, a player injured other things in mind, "said the President also Bavarian.

Although denied, however badly we imagine the current Bayern player does not spin at Real Madrid, a club which tries since the beginning of 2009.

His qualification for the 8th finals of the Champions League could cause a slackening in the league from the players Cesare Prandelli, who are currently only 9th. If the Florentines have one of the weakest attack in Serie A with only 18 goals, however they have the second best defense. The "Fio" should be refocused on the championship in order to climb through to the first four places, synonymous with the Champions League. AC Milan is him in the first four.

Balotelli, star of Ghana?

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 08:40:46 PST

Mario Balotelli is only 19 years but is already among the best strikers in Serie A. Associate of Inter Milan, Palermo native but now finds himself facing a wrenching choice. Deriving of Ghanaian parents, the national team the Black Stars is currently forcing to persuade the international trans Hope to meet its origins and prepare to compete in the World Cup in 2010 under the tunic of Ghana.

For several years, African nations seek to strengthen and never hesitate to come and explore many young players across Europe to try to play the paternal or maternal origin. Within the team of France, Bacary Sagna, Gomis Bafétimbi or Lassana Diarra had such all been approached early on by Senegal and Mali before being selected team of France.

Bad reputation in Serie A

And on the other side of the Alps is that Mario Balotelli defrays now chronic. These days, the striker from Inter Milan was especially well placed involuntarily victim, disliked he is by some Italian fans around the boot. When the green rectangle, the Nerazzurri are often targeted by opposing fans, who have no qualms against him chanting slogans and racial slurs.

So much so that the future of football across the Alps is shelved. Surfing on a probable discomfort of the player against his adopted country, AC Milan, Chelsea or Arsenal are well positioned with representatives of primary interest to arise in possible home land. Still very young Mario Balotelli is able to react to heat and let themselves go by feelings, currently shared between anger and sadness. Why did not he would consider a departure outside Italy in the winter transfer window in this case?

The Ghana revenge for Italy?

And why not it would send a strong signal to Italy, which was turning its back to answer the call of his roots, characterized these days by repeated demonstrations of the Ghanaian federation? Born in Palermo, Sicily, Ghanaian parents (Thomas and Rose Barwuah), Balotelli was then adopted, but still has his original nationality, despite naturalization occurred in August 2008.

Until then, Inter deemed somewhat vain and self-confident, to be annoying in the middle of football, has defended the Nazionale in hope, which makes him a potential Black Star . It was enough for Kwesi Nyatekyie, the federation president of Ghana, do come to new attempt to convince the player to play the next African Cup of Nations to be held in Angola from January 10 to 31 next, then the World Cup in South Africa.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Milovan Rajevac, the coach of the Serbian national team is even now in Lombardy and hopes to meet with the Milanese. A priori, the Black Stars' hopes are in vain as Balotelli did not seem attracted to this challenge. But if the preferential treatment it receives in Serie A from the majority of tifosi continues, nothing says that the boy does not change His mind in the months to come ...

Cape to South Africa!

noreply@blogger.com (Master) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 08:36:15 PST

The team from France and 31 other training qualified for 2010 World Cup will know. This Friday, Sepp Blatter, the FIFA president, will be in good company in Cape Town to conduct the draw for the competition to be held next June in South Africa. Charlize Theron, the South African actress, will present a ceremony that all the players and football fans are eagerly waiting. And as in 2006 with Argentina, Ivory Coast, Serbia and the Netherlands, the constitution of a group of death is not excluded. The France and Portugal would then be concerned. The draw line

This is the beginning of a beautiful adventure in South Africa and certainly the end of a big controversy among all Irish players in football and French. This Friday, December 4, the world will be watching on Cape Town for the final draw for the 2010 World Cup, which runs from June 11 to July 11, 2010 in South Africa. If the Irish, after the hand of Thierry Henry in turn dam of the World back, have tried everything to be part of this great football at the next summer, FIFA issued a final verdict and partner Robbie Keane will therefore be forced to watch the event in front of their television sets. Other qualifying teams, like Team France course will then chatting about them on their next opponents at the end of South Africa.

And as a draw for World Cup has no other equivalent software, it is that Fifa is a small novelty store for all the spice of competition and its prize draw. For the past so forgotten national teams in continental competitions call for 1 hat-head series. Thus, the governing body of world football, decided to take into account the FIFA rankings before the turn of the dams, to make a slight reshuffle in the teams supposed to be part of the world Gotha. Already somewhat contrived after the hand of their attacker, the lights, like the Portuguese, moreover, were given the "joy" to learn Wednesday that they would not be seeded for the draw.

Maradona's private party

Returned in the cap 4 along with Denmark, Greece, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland, Portuguese and French have a good chance to be included in a group of death. Whatever happens elsewhere during this high mass television, the two courses will draw heavily from, except to fall against South Africa, host country and therefore seeded. But except for Bafana Bafana, all other formations are avoided. World champion Italy in 2006 to England, invincible in the playoffs, from Spain, European champion, Germany, Argentina, Brazil or the Netherlands, nothing will be spared blue and teammates Cristiano Ronaldo. Provided that a group composed of Spain, Mexico, Côte d'Ivoire and France or Portugal would certainly not synécure. A group of death which was also part of the Ivorians in the company of Argentina, the Netherlands and Serbs at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Anecdotally, the breeders will not all be present for the draw in Cape Town. If the German coach Joachim Loew said he was "very eager to attend the draw" on the site of FIFA, Diego Maradona, the current coach of Argentina, has been deprived of this honor after his words moved against journalists during the post-conference match against Uruguay. Suspended until January 15th of his duties as coach, "El Pibe de Oro" will follow this event added outdoors. But the key is to participate in the World Cup. And for this, Diego is actually present. Unlike the Irish ...

Pot 1: South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, England, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain

Pot 2: Australia, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Honduras, Mexico, United States, New Zealand.

Pot 3: Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Pot 4: Denmark, France, Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland.
