Salvador Aparicio - THE MAN WHO GAVE US MESSI

[primus-1]

Preminuo jedan od najvećih engleskih nogometnih trenera svih vremena Sir Bobby Robson

JEDAN od najvećih i najkarizmatičnijih engleskih nogometnih trenera Bobby Robson preminuo je danas, nakon duge i teške borbe sa rakom, u 76. godini života.

Engleski mediji pišu kako će Sir Bobby Robson biti najviše zapamćen po vođenja engleske nogometne reprezentacije na Svjetskom prvenstvu 1990. godine u Italiji kada je Gordi Albion zaustavljen u polufinalu turnira. Robson je vodio engleske premijerligaške klubove Fulham i Ipswich u kojem je na klupi bio 13 godina te je s njim osvojio FA Cup i Kup Uefa. Uz ova dva kluba vodio je i PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisabon, Porto i Barcelonu, a karijeru je završio u Newcastleu.

R.I.P ....

Heee, to su bile godine. Steta sto je ostao samo godinu, bas je popravio Barcu nakon sto je Cruyff otisao. Tad je Ronaldo (Luis Nazario...) dozivio svoj veliki uspon. Btw, ovi stariji navijaci Barce ce se mozda sjetiti da je Mourinho tada bio asisten Robsonu .

Eto, tako ja kad god neko umre, sjetim se nekih lijepih stvari. RIP Bobby

Ibrahimovic: "I want to be on the Bernabeu photo"

Barcelona player Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave an interview to Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo.



How are your first days as a Barcelona player going?
I want to get rid of this plaster. I want to go out there on the pitch and train with my team-mates, touch the ball, laugh with them. They are all acting great. You know the best thing? Everything is so simple here, people are very natural, nothing is artificial. From the moment I arrived, they've welcomed me with open arms and that makes everything easy. With Guardiola I'm speaking Italian, he speaks it perfectly. He already gave me the first instructions about where he wants me to play, they will have to tie me down if they don't want me to start training.

Did you know Guardiola?
I knew what he was doing with Barca, what he transmitted to the group to get the player to respect the ball like they are doing. Of course, I also knew Pep as a football player. If you don't know and admire Guardiola, then you don't know anything about football.

Pep always trains with the ball…
Yes, Ajax has a similar culture of loving the ball, but Mourinho also trained a lot with the ball, José also like the ball. Here I've seen the intensity of the training sessions, how good everyone is training from the first minute. I like hard work, they train like this and that's why they play that good. Besides the quality, you always need to work hard.

What's the difference between Barça and the others?
I've joined a winning team. Do you know what this means? You have to get better each day. When you play for a winning team like Barça, every game, every opponent will give 200 per cent just because they face Barça. They want to play the game of their lives against Barça, they are motivated as never before and this forces you to be especially concentrated and prepared. There is no room to relax, you are the winner and you have to show it in every game. That's exciting.

What do you think about Messi?
Incredible. Messi is from PlayStation really, he is PlayStation! I don't know how he is able to do what he does, but it's unique and fabulous. It's Leo Messi! But then you look at the left and you have Henry, you turn your head and there's Iniesta, then Xavi, and then you think: they are all great players here.

It will be difficult to repeat last season's treble...
Yeah, well, difficult, but the mentality is there, we have the will to repeat the treble.

Ibra receives a poster published by El Mundo Deportivo from the Champions League final celebrations in Rome. The poster is enormous and he is looking at all the faces. He recognizes everyone, and not only the players but also those who work around the team.

I saw the final that day, I was on vacations. While on vacations, I try not to think too much about football. But I would have given anything to be one of them! But never mind, I will be on next year's poster. I will be on the Bernabéu poster (laughs). You'll see.

You don't know what it would mean to win the Champions League at the Bernabéu...
Yes, yes I know... I know the rivalry between the big teams from the same country. That's why I'm saying that I will be on the champion's picture! This is our mentality, it's our strength. It would be really beautiful to win at the Bernabeu...

And with Inter as the opponent...
That would be very special but... Barça is the strongest! So that wouldn't change the picture: Barça, this time with me on the picture, celebrating the Champions League title.

How will Eto'o do at Inter?
Very well, I'm sure he'll do very well. He is a great player, everyone knows that.

One last question: Ibrahimovic is with Barça because he believed in it more than anyone?
Without any doubt. We - my agent and I - believed more in a transfer than Barça did. Barça thought it was close to impossible, we knew it could happen, we just needed to help a little and keep on believing. The first time my agent told me about the interest of Barça, he said that they wanted me but that it would be very complicated. I told him that wasn't the case, it wouldn't be difficult, we would make sure it wouldn't be complicated. And here I am, happy, very happy, with the deisre to get rid of this plaster, motivated to start playing, to enjoy myself with this team, to be on the picture, on that picture of the Champions League, to win it... At the Bernabéu.

Messijeva odšteta porasla na 300 milijuna eura
Barcelona, 03.08.2009., 15:57 | I.J./TS

Nakon što je madridski nogometni klub vezao Ronalda i Kaku uza se odštetnim klauzulama teškim stotinu milijuna eura, Barcelona je podigla klauzulu u ugovoru Lea Messija sa 150 na 300 milijuna.

Klub koji bi htio otkupiti 22-godišnjeg Argentinca u ovom bi trenutku katalonskom klubu morao platiti 300 milijuna eura. Naravno, pod uvjetom da prodaja Messija nije interes Barcelone, izvještava El Mundo Deportivo.

Taj je aneks posljedica novog ugovora koji su iz kluba ponudili svom najboljem igraču na potpis. Ostao bi mu vrijediti do 2014. godine, ali bi dobio povišicu s osam na 9.5 milijuna eura godišnje plaće. Time bi zarađivao simbolično više od Zlatana Ibrahimovića, koji je u klub iz Intera došao za devet milijuna eura godišnje plaće.

Messi bi svoj novi ugovor trebao potpisati u idućih nekoliko dana.

Barcelona's Marquez tears calf muscle

(AP) – 11 hours ago

SEATTLE — FC Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez has a torn muscle in his left calf and will be out for about 15 days, meaning the anchor of Mexico's defense is likely to miss El Tri's World Cup qualifier against the United States.

Marquez suffered the injury during light training on Wednesday morning at the University of Washington before Barcelona's exhibition match with the Seattle Sounders FC. Team officials expect Marquez to miss 10 to 15 days, meaning Mexico's captain will likely be on the sideline when the U.S. plays Mexico at Azteca Stadium on Aug. 12.

Mexico is fourth in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, four points behind the second-place U.S. Costa Rica leads the group with 12 points.

The 30-year-old Marquez has been with Barcelona since 2003.

El Clasico: Personal Battles

by: hamad ali




Last week, goal.com published an article about the coming clasico and who has the better line-up. so I couldn't avoid the temptation to write an article about it myself.

VALDES VS CASILLAS :
We start this clash from the back. Now I really want to say Valdes with all my heart but life is cruel. If there is one madridista that wins at least 75% of his comparisons with other keepers it's Iker. Now I’m not saying that V.V is bad keeper. On the contrary, I wouldn't trade Valdes with any goal keeper in the world just for the fact that he's Catalan and that he's the best in the world (yes the best in the world) in one on ones. But never the less Casillas wins this battle. So it's Barca 0 - 1 Madrid.

ALVES VS RAMOS :
Two of the greatest right backs in the world. Let's start with Ramos. When a defender is 6ft tall you assume that we're talking about a centre back with no pace but that’s not the case with Sergio. At 1.83 cm tall he has the pace of a B.M.W and the build of an ox. A build perfect for a defender and he scores goals too. But what about Alves. He doesn’t have the height or the strength of Ramos. But what he lacks in height . He makes up for it with pace, Shots, Assists, Free kicks, Stamina, Crosses, Goals and I can keep going forever. So what’s a B.M.W compared with a Bugatti Veyron. It's not just speed, But assists too. The fact that he comes behind iniesta in assists says it all . So in short , In build Ramos wins. In goal scoring it's a tie (5 goals each last season). In speed its alves. In assists it's alves (14 alves - 2 Ramos). In stamina it's alves. In technique its alves. In defending it's Ramos. So in the end, Alves wins. Barca 1 - 1 Madrid.

PUYOL VS ALBIOL :
Experience vs. potential. the poor kid comes against the heart and pride of the Catalans. Probably the best defender in Barcelona's history. Whether or not Albiol can achieve the heights of Puyol remains to be seen but right now there's one clear winner. Based on titles and leadership captain brave heart wins the battle. Barca 2 - 1 Madrid.

PIQUE VS PEPE :
Gerard Pique was one of the biggest surprises last season . Performing like a player with a Puyol like experience just at the age of 22. Although Pepe is a good defender. But Pique performed better than he did the past season. Plus they both have something in common. They both snap, Though in a different way. When Pique snaps he goes forward in a Beckenbauer style run and helps his team mates and off the pitch he plays a prank on some poor victim. But when Pepe snaps he kicks the living hell out of a helpless player. Even Iker said while pushing him off the pitch "you’re a disgrace to this shirt ". So Barca 3 - 1 Madrid.

ABIDAL VS MARCELO :
Now I know people will say I should have used Maxwell but I didn’t for two reasons : 1- I don't think that pep would start with two attacking fullbacks 2- I haven’t seen many matches of Maxwell and I can't base my judgment on YouTube where Florentino Perez would look like a Ballon d'Or winner. Marcelo is good attacking fullback at most but if Dani gets criticized for his defending then the word defence doesn't exist in Marcelo's dictionary. I’ve seen Higuan do more defending then he did. His technique is unquestionable. His crosses land more on the crowd than on players heads. While Abidal isn't perfect but still he provides defensive balance and height to stop aerial threats. Barca 4 - 1 Madrid.

YAYA VS LASS DIARRA :
Probably Madrid’s best player last season . But when your entire team is down and you’re a new arrival you'd look great. Our players ran all over Madrid’s pitch while he couldn’t do a thing . I know some would say it's a bit harsh when I judge a player because he couldn't stop Xavi and co. But didn't Yaya stop the entire Chelsea midfield all by himself . Players like Lampard, Ballack, Essien and Obi Mikel. Why? Because he's (Yaya) the best DM in the world . Barca 5 - 1 Madrid.

XAVI VS XABI :
Best player in EURO 2008 . Man of the match in the UCL final and the EURO final. Top assists in the league. 4 assists in el clasico and the list goes on. Now Alonso is world class and no one can deny it but until he achives the above mentioned, he's no better than Xavi. The winner is crystal clear. Barca 6 - 1 Madrid.

INIESTA VS ROBBEN (BATTLE OF THE GLASS MEN) :
Both are decisive. both are important players if fit. Robben is faster. Iniesta is more technical. the difference? Iniesta is a team player and has better vision and passing. So Don Andres wins. Barca 7 - 1 Madrid.

HENRY VS KAKA :
As much as I like Henry, This battle has one clear winner. Even though Henry was great last season, He's no longer the Henry of Arsenal. And while Kaka did nothing great last season he still has a couple of years left in him. So when it's Henry vs. the ex- ballon d'Or winner (hopefully for the last time), it's Kaka. Barca 7 - 2 Madrid.

IBRAHIMOVIC VS BENZEMA :
The battle of potential vs. proven ability. I for one was never convinced with Benzema's ability. 15 goals in the French league doesn't equal 25 in the Italian league. Say what you want about Ibra's Europe record but would Drogba, Toni and any other striker score 25 goals with no real playmaker in their teams? At least Benzema had Juninho. And i've never seen someone flop so badly in the french shirt like Benzema did in Euro 2008. His price dropping after that from 100 mil to 40 mil and I still think it's too much . So when it comes to Ibra vs. Benzema, Ibra is the clear winner. Barca 8 - 2 Madrid.

MESSI VS C.RONALDO :
As my friend B4L said, it's the clash of the titans. As much as I hate this but let’s give credit where it's due . He might be arrogant but he's world class. Amazing skill, super fast feet, lightning speed. And his famous 41 goals season. And then you have Messi the undisputed number one. I don't know what to say about him that hasn't been said. The rightful heir to Maradona's throne. Scoring 38 goals last season. People say that Ronaldo scored more goals. Then let me ask you this. Did Ronaldo share his penalties with Rooney just as Messi did with Eto'o? No. Ronaldo scored at least 8 penalties out of 10. While Messi scored 3 out of 5, While Eto'o scored 2 out of 4. Let's give Rooney just three of Ronaldo's penalties. Guess what? 38 goals just like Messi. And while Messi gave an amazing 18 assists, Ronaldo gave a measly 8. So Messi is the better team player. Messi vs. Ronaldo, Messi is the winner. Barca 9 - 2 Madrid.
