Mancini stretches the Bayern

The beginning is encouraging. If Mourinho’s mission is to give European vocation to a team that has dominated only in Italy in recent years, the signals arrived dall’Allianz Arena can be interpreted as a first step. The goal of Mancini to 6 ‘, the second time delivery all’Inter the Trofeo Pirelli, the cup extralarge dedicated to Beckenbauer and a nice load of self-esteem.
The START - The module is 4-3-3 announced, but Adriano is far more isolated than expected with Mancini left and Figo on the right, wide yes but also flattened to cover half the field. On the back is not likely nothing, and Cambiasso (central defensive improvised next to Burdisso) ends up making a figurone. Overall, the Inter is contracted, is the Bayern to keep the ball in the hands of the game.
FISCHI ON JURGEN - Klinsmann changed three times the form remedying little quality and some whistling by his supporters to the first exit housewife who closed with the accident at Demichelis. On the field Lahm is the main danger to Toldo, who controls without a diagonal problems of German national, then risking more about the conclusion of Altintop to 23 ‘. From the opposite side it is for Adriano, 18 ‘, the only attempt nerazzurro the first time (punishment controlled by Reinsing): The Brazilian gives smiles, always into the game to dictate the passage or look for the conclusion.
AMANTINO 18 CARATI - On the resumption goal from Mancini is the 51 ‘when Figo opened the field to the Brazilian on the left; control and touch to override the doors are textbook. Net of some error Muntari and Zanetti, Inter takes confidence and defends the result with order. Of course, Toldo is more than decisive, because saves on Kroos (several times), and Lucio. But when Balotelli on punishment goes a step away from 2-0, the success nerazzurro assumes controni more sharp. An evening not exciting, which can also satisfy as the first taste. The journey continues towards European Holland: Sevilla and Ajax are the next two preparatory examinations. Destination Champions League.
SATISFIED - Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho said: “For us it was a good workout. We played against a great team that will debut in a few days in the Bundesliga and that is obviously ahead of us in preparation. Cambiasso has adapted very well to play as central defence. And even Burdisso went well. The team I seemed well-balanced field. In the second half we played better managing more ball possession. The last 15 minutes were important in maintaining the advantage. During the season happen often having to manage the outcome in the final minute. Toldo made three parades very decisive. What I liked more was the evolution of the team. Match after match we play even better. We have four friendly against dangerous: Bayern, Seville Ajax and Benfica. We choices because we wanted demanding races, not games to win four or five to zero.
THE POLEMICA - Mourinho then back on the controversy with the coach Claudio Ranieri juventino: “The story is simple, Ranieri has spoken once and was happy, then spoke a second time and was happy, after he spoke a third time, and was even more happy. I have spoken only once and he was a little ‘angry. If we end up here for me is enough. Three to one for him, but my goal was beautiful. Losing three to one does not like to anyone but that is good, I accept the defeat. However in preliminary Champions League I tiferò for Juventus and Ranieri. ” Match closed. At least for now.

Xavi interview - Xavi Hernandez football player

Xavi: “Every time I look more to-door”
The vallesano played an exceptional and in the Euro-deserved vacation loaded batteries to relaunch the club
“I have very good feelings, I saw the very strong team,” says

Xavi Hernandez reinvents itself every year. Despite the substrate of all coaches who have had their ability to assimilate and learning seems to have no end. Born with Van Gaal, exploded with Serra Ferrer and Rexach and was consolidated with Rijkaard. Now, at full maturity, comes the turn of Josep Guardiola, with which it has’ Mama ‘the same football philosophy. Last Wednesday before the Fiorentina played his first game of the preseason after being crowned best player of Euro. Their feelings can not be better.

How has meaning?

Well, the truth is that I have had very good feelings. The team I’ve seen very strong and very enthusiastic with the new. I have good vibes.

Have you noticed many changes between Rijkaard and Pep?

Yes. It’s normal, maestrillo each has its booklet, as they say. Pep works much the physical aspects and also the tactical. I’m not saying it is better or worse but I note that a reality.

Have you talked to the coach?

Sometimes I do not need to talk to who knows what he wants from me. Many years ago you know, we both ‘Mama’ milk the same football and we have the same philosophy of the game, which is possession, touch and ball control. But in any case do we have spoken in recent days.

And what you said?

Well, mainly that look more to door, I have to try much more to me to incorporate more and attack from behind that in the second line. Clearly, this year my game has to be more offensive because the central already placed virtually in the midfield and you drag the attack.

Do you feel comfortable?

I feel comfortable playing football. For me it is a priority feel contact with the ball and see that order is maintained in the field. Guardiola is also very demanding in this aspect. Maintaining the position and concentration are the pillars of our mental structure in the countryside.

What is not Messi is a serious setback towards the first leg of the Champions?

Of course! It is our player being selfish and more destabilising, we wanted to stay with him because everything is much easier, but we must also understand the position of Argentina. The problem was for the player who was in the middle and did what they did was receiving somewhere.

Can we be optimistic?

If. I believe in this project. There is a philosophy of work very seriously and planned. It seems that they have not left anything to chance. I think we are on track and now we just lack that also generate enthusiasm we have in the dressing room to people based on victories and good game.

Do you sell to Eto’o?

I have already said that to me Eto’o is the best striker in the world. And between AC Milan who has or have it myself, I prefer to have it near me. But it is a matter of the club and hence we can not do anything.

Will remain one of masters?

I hope so. I think I am one of the most veteran of the staffing and it is logical to take my responsibilities by and for the group. Although we already have a great captain Carles Puyol as it is an example to us all.

Would you life has changed after winning the European Championship and be proclaimed best player?

Well, for nothing. I’m the same as ever. The only thing is that now the best thing I appreciated a bit more, but I have not changed anything. I still have our feet on the ground because I know that in the world of football the most important thing is the regularity and work. Word of a champion of Europe …

Roma will take Eto - Ronaldinho will be in Italy

The two large cracks in recent seasons can re-unite their paths in the Calcio. Ronaldinho found accommodation in a club that had always looking forward, as is AC Milan, while Eto’o can become the new star of the Rome

Those who have been mates with the Barcelona shirt can be enfudados deal with different costumes in the Serie A matches in some very high voltage. Milan and Rome are two candidates for the title, along with Inter and Juventus, and is expected to close fight between these four sets.

Footballer of the club will not at any price. Eto’o has called on the Roman entity a card of eight million fixed

The departure of Samuel Eto’o can begin to take shape after a long period of uncertainty. The player had not so far received bids to seduce him enough to leave the club, but in the last few hours there has been a rapprochement of significance that can trigger events. The Rome has made available both to the club as a footballer blaugrna a binding offer to take over its services and in conditions that open the door to a possible departure.

The whole ‘giallorosso’ has put on the table entry of 25 million euros to convince the club. The figure, as a starting point in negotiating, it is very tempting and has given rise to have been produced the first formal talks. The institution has appraised the Barcelona soccer player at 30 million euros, plus incentives, so the figures are not too distant, taking into account the size of the operation.

The agreement between FC Barcelona and Rome seems very feasible and, unlike other cases, the player could also consider this offer with interest. Its representative, Jose Maria Mesalles, is aware of a negotiation that could leave all parties satisfied. The package offers the front capitaliano a chip annual six million more incentives, which still falls short of the eight most raw that he has requested, although the gap seems solution.

The Rome offers many attractions that the footballer had called him to accept a transfer. The Italian runner host the next edition of the Champions League, is forging a very attractive sports and the city has a Mediterranean climate as others where they have felt very comfortable as Barcelona or Palma de Mallorca.

The joint training Luciano Spalletti wants to launch this season so determined to stay by the scudetto after the doors to the past in the fight with Inter. It is conscious that it needs to incorporate a ‘new’ contrasting. Francesco Totti took this position last season as the only centre forward specific, Mirko Vucinic, was not fully consolidated. The serious knee injury suffered by Totti, who may not start the season, has increased even more the yearning of all Roman clock by a crack for the lead.

The budget for Rome to deal with a large signing is alrerdedor 30 million euros in the first instance, wanted to spend two players. Djibril Cisse (Olympique Marseille), Lukas Podolski (Bayern Munich) were their targets, although yesterday’s own representative from French, Ranko Stojic, said that the footballer “does not want to play in Rome. For him it is an interesting solution. ” Mutu was one of the futbolitsas who liked, but Fiorentina has refused to hand over the Romanian. Also the option Rodrigo Palacio (Boca Juniors) has many numbers. In any event, the ‘giallorossi’ thought allocate investment in two footballers, but at the possibility of hiring a star worldwide as Eto’o had now changed his mind and cast the rest by trying to chip.

The money should not be a problem since joining the Rome just 18 million euros for the transfer of Mancini at Inter and was already scheduled to make an effort during the summer. The hiring of Samuel would be the icing on a team that is well compensated in all lines. The former Liverpool player Riise has strengthened a solid defence with men like Juan, MEX or Panucci. The core has a lot of strength and quality with Aquilani, Perrotta and De Rossi, so the only line that is flojea the lead. A hole that would cover Eto’o to perfection and at the same time, hopes for a hobby as enthusiastic as is the Roman.

The footballer yesterday remained on the sidelines of the negotiations and who travelled with the rest of his companions to Chicago. The Cameroonian will continue to work under the orders of Pep Guardiola in the United States until they reach a final solution, as it has done so far with total professionalism. The objective of Barca is that before August 5, ie next week, Eto’o has already been able to find a way to present the list of registered for the previous round of the Champions League without his case still in the air.
