An arbitrator’s past mistakes kilos and leftover

In the end, someone must have heard Drogba when, beside himself, he remembered the family tree of the referee at the end of this Chelsea-Barça. In Spain, all we are left with Iniesta’s goal, with the start of Barcelona’s triumphant journey to the triplet Guardiola, first, and the sextet, later. Drogba cried at the end of that game that the Blues had cheated them four penalties during the game. Four.
Who whistled that day? Tom Henning Ovrebo, a recent Norwegian peer of those whose image should command respect, if not for his performance leaves much to be desired. Someone should do that day if Drogba instead of suspended for four matches. If any capitoste UEFA had listened we would have saved the embarrassment of last Wednesday at the Allianz of Munich. But they preferred to overlook it.
The truth is that Chelsea’s Ivorian temperamental point was to warn the braid-aloud, it is true, what would come next. Ultimately, Drogba warned us all. It was only a matter of time before the Norwegian referee to do it again.
Henning, very old-kilos, was found Wednesday by the Bavarian capital with its referees with more than 15 years behind internationalism. The Norwegian is not just anyone, has been elected five times better arbiter of his country has blown two finals in the Norway Cup, he has participated in a European Championship and was named by UEFA Champions League semi-final for that.
Henning, with his experience and background should be an arbiter of security. But it is not. The League of his country stands by winter and he has controlled his diet. In the Euro 2008 only managed two games before that UEFA had ordered him home after a bad performance in a decisive Italy-Romania, nullifying a goal for the Azzurri legal.
Henning knows from small, when we entered the referee courses, instructors tell us that it’s best we go unnoticed. And if that is impossible, at least nobody can say, at the end of a meeting, we have favored either team. And hell, despite having made a disastrous arbitration Wednesday in Munich, Fiorentina could not accuse him of having manipulated the results thoroughly.
And that, paradoxically, is what makes the most guilty Norwegian. So bad was that it was wrong at all. In none of the plays in which he was required to take a momentous decision was correct.
When pitas that bad, you get to dress blowing and you feel so fucked up on your bench and you can not blame anyone. If the linesman scored the expulsion was not, for that you were, you should consider if the party needed such as red or you could fix with a yellow card. If the same linesman raised his flag not you before Klose illegal position in the decisive goal, as for that too were you, when you first began to whistle in regional and attendees did not have you should learn to intuit offsides.
There you are. On the sidelines of the costumes of the Allianz Arena in Munich, sitting, and reviewing what you did wrong. What you’ve done wrong.

To do this simply to impose logic and get the three points before a Hull knowing that your salvation does not pass through Old Trafford.

If I lose control to the billionaires of the wardrobe, I’m dead. So never lose and if someone exceeds the limit you know what’s going to happen, “he said, referring to Roy Keane, Van Nistelrooy, Beckham and Stam and his departure from Old Trafford. ‘Fergie’ said that since his time in Aberdeen and had control of everything. ‘I tended to order a meal, for monitoring the programs … Everything was under my orders, “he recalled.

Ribéry back to train with Bayern

Filed under Football rumors
* The French international back after two days of absence due to “nuisance” and blisters
* Louis van Gaal did not feel comfortable with the situation that generates discontent Player
* Offer and millionaire players that fit the needs of Bayern, the key
Would inconvenience or blisters in the heel, which led the media to joke about the “funnel” that created the stir about a possible transfer to Madrid Ribéry and the possibility of bursting has been completed, it is true that the absence of the French international had been interpreted as a strategy to tighten its relationship with the Bavarian club and forcing his departure.
Apparent return to normalcy, the French signed autographs after the session and then attended a brunch for all staff, their families, who had called the coach Louis van Gaal to learn more about the group.
For his part, Bayern’s new coach, Dutchman Louis van Gaal, do not feel comfortable with the situation, which in his view, the rarefied atmosphere of the computer that is trying to instill his style, and possibly would not mind opening the door out of the whole Munich star.
“The question of a transfer is not good for Ribéry, is not good for Bayern Munich and is not good for me either,” has valued the Dutch version in the Sunday edition of German newspaper ‘Bild’. “We must stop this. We must fix this problem,” he added, while noting that, in his view, the environment Ribéry “influenced him greatly.”
Money and player combinations for a transfer of “madness”
In any case, the sale of Ribéry could be an interesting for Bayern, who signed for the French 25-million euro contract until 2011 – and it could get the double, or at least a good amount of money more Some players from Real Madrid in the event of the transfer.
Are many rumors to that effect. Although managers have been told ad nauseam that Ribéry is not for sale, could be carried away by some “crazy” in the form of tender. Possibly not only a financial offer. Uli Hoennes said that by 55 million euros is estimated that an eventual offer from Real Madrid is not even willing to spend on the phone talking about Ribery.
Would raise the amount people close to the formula-Bayern, including Ottmar Hitzfeld, said that from an offering of 70 million pitch to the Bavarian-change problem, but apparently is not what he wants Real Madrid.
Dutch, opportunity and threat
The possibility of the team target is to offer, besides the money you’re willing to pay for Ribéry, players who in any case wants to discard.
A player would have to be in that range would be Wesley Sneijder, given that Dutch is the only player on the Real Madrid Bayern has openly expressed interest.
The second letter from the mother could be, more than Arjen Robben, Rafael van der Vaart, since this is a player who already knows the Bundesliga, and would have no problem adjusting.
However, there is a paradoxical situation is the fact that both players are Dutch so it may be a temptation as an impediment.
Although Van Gaal would have liked to surround himself with fellow past experience, the fact is that he has acknowledged having learned the lesson of his tenure in Barcelona and the club has to maintain its identity. And the arrival of Robben and Van Vaart and Sneijder, who would join Mark van Bommel and Edson Braafheid could be seen as the beginning of a Dutch invasion.
Real Madrid also has other players that Bayern Munich has to offer and needs in other positions. If you read between the lines, the recent statements by Van Gaal, it can be concluded that the Dutch want either a lateral or a left-handed center.
In this constellation, another letter from Real Madrid could offer Christoph Metzelder, although it is very likely that the frequent injuries of the player generated some doubts managers Bayern.
Money, 55 million or more, certainly not bad at Bayern would just pay 35 million by Mario Gomez and could be done to regain the offensive with the goal of Schalke’s Manuel Neuer.
But it is also clear that it is urgent for them. And in the past, Bayern has forced some players, it was the case of Michael Ballack, to fulfill his contract by giving up a huge income transfer advance. All for a matter of principle.
