My Formation for 2007

Tactics: Diarra getting the ball for Gago and then he gives to either Beckham or Robinho and then they have Raul and Ronaldo for attack….if you want RVN then take out Ronaldo cause if Ronaldo and RVN are together Ruud would just run around doing nothing while Ronaldo does all the work. If you want Emerson then take out Diarra because you cant have 2 defensive midfielders. You need someone to take the ball to the wings and forwards. You might ask why Mejia? Well so far he hasen’t failed us and based on his form this year he can partner anyone in defense and is amazing in Defence despite his inexprience he shows his matureness and very cool in defense so I hope Capello gets that. Helguera this year was above par then last year after the disasterous 6 – 1 defeat to Real Zaragoza but I would prefer Mejia. I also suggest that Kaka if we sign be the last signing ever because we have alot of good talent in our Castilla team like Bueno, De La Red, Nieto, Torres, Balboa, Soldado, Javi Garcia and many to come. Also I admire our subs for their patience and I respect them all Raul Bravo, Diego Lopez, Pavon and forever bound to the bench Guti… our super sub and the most under rated midfielder in Spain… its a shame he didnt go the World Cup with Spain … typical Arragones ignorance and stupidness just like what he is doing to Raul now. Right when he is on fire with his form he drops him. Well thats another subject so I wont get into that … Please leave your preferable formation in a comment … Thank You

AC Milan Saga: When will it end?

Adriano Galliani should just go to hell .. he should eat his words as now he wants Ramos and Cassano from Real Madrid. Madrid will not forget what he said about them in the summer when he supposedly “declared war” on Real Madrid over Kaka. I suggest that Real Madrid should throw him aside and not give him shit cause he is all talk and very ignorant. You should see Milan matches and watch how he goes crazy when Milan score a goal. SHOW SOME RESPECT!! He is a joke to all vice presidents. Atleast our guy does it  in a very calm and respectable manner. Silvio Berlusconi is another jerk, he talks like once a year as he is supposedly “shy” and always BSing… “We don’t need Sheva, we don’t need Sheva” ya you do your at the bottom of the table with a million losses and draws and no goals … so I suggest both Berlusconi and Galliani both burn in hell and should bow a million times to Real Madrid before they even mention the club Real Madrid! Any Comments?

What a true muslim :D

straight out of Realmadrid.com “Diarra posed without the Christmas tree as a backdrop as it is forbidden by his religion”. Well its not really FORBIDDEN its just like don’t do that its not a very big deal but it is something. I mean would a Jew pose with a Christmas tree??? I think not….. I dont care what team any player plays in as long as he is muslim i will respect him till the end of life. Not including Zidane as he is supposedly a muslim but dosent really follow islam instead found his own way :S just takes it as a social title or something. Anyone have any comments ??

Winter Break OFFICIALLY BEGINS!!

yes people winter break officially begins and now me and figo_7 are back. A quick review on what we missed was the one and only CL Knock-out stage draw.

First knockout round

First leg Second leg
PSV – Arsenal 20/02 07/03
Real Madrid – Bayern 20/02 07/03
Lille – Man. United 20/02 07/03
Celtic – Milan 20/02 07/03

First leg Second leg
Internazionale – Valencia 21/02 06/03
Porto – Chelsea 21/02 06/03
Roma – Lyon 21/02 06/03
Barcelona – Liverpool 21/02 06/03

In other news Real Madrid have secured the signings of Higuain and Gago. So far Real Madrid have signed Marcelo, Gago, and Higuain. This is a relief after Recreativo’s historic win over Real Madrid which closed out 2006 on a disappointing note, it reassures Madridistas that reinforcements are on the way. Real Madrid might push for Mexes or Onyewu or any other defender they might get so this Winter transfer sounds juicy not only to Real Madird but to many other clubs. Here are some pictures from presentations of Higuain and Gago … take care and we will post later.

Last 2 weeks b4 winter break

During these weeks me (DB23) and figo_7 will be very busy as we both have alot of studying to do because typical of our teachers they throw everything at the last minute. I had 3 test last week and I dont even want to know how many figo_7 had cause he was complaining all week. So we will post when we want but until winter break we wont post very much so bear with us. (Who ever reads the blog:D)

Question Of The Day: Will Sheva Be At Chelsea In A Year?

In the past week there has been a large number of stories regarding Andriy Shevchenko’s future at Chelsea, many of which contradict each other and suggest the Ukrainian’s stay at Stamford Bridge may not be that long term.

After years of luring him to Chelsea, Roman Abramovich finally landed the 30-year-old striker for a massive £30m this summer, but the prolific goalscorer has been rather less prolific during his time in London.

Jose Mourinho has admitted he is not undroppable, while the player himself has said he will leave the club if he doesn’t fit into the plans of the manager.

Chelsea have accepted massive losses on their investments in the past and it is quite possible that Shevchenko will be the latest in the long line of expensive failures. However, there is still time for him to make his mark and is has to be remembered that it has taken many players a season to settle into the Premiership, just look at Didier Drogba.

So we ask the question, will Shevchenko be at Stamford Bridge this time next year?

CL Group A Preview: Barcelona – Werder Bremen

Barcelona (3rd, 8 points) vs. Werder Bremen (2nd, 10 points)
When: 2045 CET, Tuesday, September 5, 2006
Where: Camp Nou, Barcelona

TEAM NEWS

Barcelona

Barcelona have been boosted by the return of Rafael Marquez to full training, though it remians doubtful whether he will start after two weeks out of action. Thuram’s assured display alongside Puyol in the meantime means Rijkaard no longer has to fret on the Mexican’s fitness. Gio and Zambrotta should come back into the starting eleven too.

Javier Saviola is also back in training, and could make the bench given Rijkaard’s need for attacking options. Thiago Motta might get the nod ahead of Edmilson thanks to his more physical and aerial game, while Iniesta could once again keep Xavi on the bench after having done little wrong over the last few weeks.

Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Valdes – Zambrotta, Thuram/Marquez, Puyol, Gio – Iniesta/Xavi, Motta/Edmilson, Deco – Giuly, Gudjohnsen, Ronaldinho.

Werder Bremen

The Bundesliga leaders recover Tim Borowski for this clash, after the German international missed the last three Champions League games due to injury. He should walk straight back into the midfield alongside Frings and Baumann.

Diego will continue to play the roaming role behind the two strikers, with Hugo Almeida likely to partner Klose ahead of Hunt and Klasnic. At the back, it will be the now established foursome of Fritz, Mertesacker, Naldo and Webo.

Probable Starting XI (4-3-1-2): Wiese – Fritz, Mertesacker, Naldo, Webo – Frings, Baumann, Borowski – Diego – Klose, Hugo Almeida

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Torsten Frings: The versatile German international is solid in defense, precise from corners and free-kicks, deadly in the air, and has the uncanny ability to hit the target from distance. He will have his hands full, but so will Barcelona dealing with him.

Deco: The Portuguese international has been running into some fine form over the last few weeks, and his partnership with Iniesta is really beginning to blossom, much to Xavi’s detriment.The duo will be up against Baumann and Frings on the night, making for an exciting midfield tussle.

Miroslav Klose: Clinical finishing is what Werder will need more than anything else if they are to stun Barcelona at the Nou Camp. That is where Germany’s best striker comes into the picture. He has matured into a complete forward since his move from Kaiserslautern, and could write himself into Werder’s European history.

Ronaldinho: Moments of magic, moments of inspirtation, divine intervention. Barcelona will need it all!

PREDICTION

Barcelona will try to put on a show, but Werder aren’t ones to sit back and absorb the pressure. The team that scores first is likely to score a few more before the evening is out! It is more difficult to see Barcelona crashing out. I still think Werder can win anyways.

Barcelona 1 – 2 Werder Bremen
