* Kaká’s successor will be elected by 96 journalists from the magazine ‘France Football’
* Of the 30 candidates, seven are Spanish, with Torres and Casillas at the head

The date is Tuesday, but on Monday afternoon will be known with certainty. The Golden Ball, the tournament’s most prestigious and controversial, hurry hours to end at the hands of Cristiano Ronaldo, big favorite. In England say that CR7 has already been the traditional pictures with the trophy. Leo Messi, Iker Casillas and Fernando Torres looked with a resigned calm.

European champion and England, European Golden Boot (42 so) and top scorer of the Premier (31). Merit more than enough for Ronaldo, who spared his mediocre Euro and its lower return after the summer. And the boy from Madeira, 23, did not bite your tongue. “I’ve been the best,” summarized by recalling a year that made him deserving “of the first, second and third place.”

Messi admitted it until four days ago in Lisbon. This award recognizes the player, but particularly appreciates the trophies of his team. “He won the Champions League and the Premiership, so it deserves the award.” ‘The Flea’ has accepted that she must wait another year, especially since the trophy room of the Nou Camp was left without glasses for the second consecutive season.

What happens is that his fall is noisy, as leader of the best imaginable and Barca with 14 goals in 16 games (five of them in Champions). The Blaugrana add a little every 27 minutes when Leo is involved and must wait 71 when it is not. In Argentina, by the way, have been waiting half a century for a successor Di Stefano, because the conflicting Maradona never won this trophy.
The emotion Calculated

Now, to ‘France Football’ yes you are interested in the revival of Messi. Suspense need to encourage their sales. And he wants to keep the secret until jealously make a public statement in the early hours of Tuesday. Do not have an easy because the leaks were always on the agenda.

Despite these efforts, there is no room for other surprises. Well you will regret Spain, who managed to put seven players (Casillas, Ramos, Senna, Xavi, Cesc, Torres and Villa) among the 30 candidates. Success in the European Championship titles and garters highlighted in this group to Iker and El Nino.

In 52 editions, only the award in 1963 ended in the mitts of a goalkeeper (Lev Yashin). This hurts Casillas, who also lives one of his worst moments in Madrid, where he has goals that were previously granted a piece of cake for him. Torres, with two injuries in the thigh in the last month, has no continuity. His debut year at Anfield was formidable and will always remember his goal in the final to Germany. Brilliant and insufficient.

Because the decision seems made. They did 96 journalists’ France Football ‘, correspondent of the magazine around the world. Decant were five candidates that awarded five, four, three, two and one point. Ronaldo for the majority, expelled in the derby before the City. Maybe had a hurry to travel to Paris.

“Pepe has been a clear case, a player who I have followed long way for her to play, how to be and has been fitted very well to apparel, the group”, apuntilló Mijatovic, who unveiled the conversation held with the coach Arsenal, Arsène Wenger, the trophy contested in London this summer during the preseason.

“Wenger I welcome the decisions taken, but it is not easy work under the pressure of having to get a title every year.

First football day in Italy – none of the favourites celebrated

Rome – In recent weeks, announcing and presenting the new edition of the Italian football championship was long in the past weekend, we insist that much about the “most difficult tournament in the world.” And sustainable than ever as in this case we were expecting a tournament equal, balanced and fought, contrary to what was happening in the last four or five years, with two teams that were severed at the tip alone, away from the rest.

José Mourinho

The DT Inter not had a good debut
However, we could not even imagine us a first date on which none of the five candidates to succeed title winning start. Two of them, Fiorentina and Juventus, played with each other and equal 1 to 1, exactly the same score with which Inter tied Sampdoria in Genoa to Rome and at home to Napoli. Worse was to Milan, which ruined the incredible feast of San Siro, armed by the debut of Ronaldinho and Shevchenko round, falling to the newly promoted Bologna.

In sum, there are seven leaders, namely: Lazio, Torino, Udinese, Bologna, Chievo, Atalanta and Catania. Please raise your hand which had provided similar denouement of the first day.

The timing was good: five local triumphs, two visitors and three draws, no party without annotations. The total was 26 goals, which delivers the perfect statistically average of 2.6 goals per match, really very good start by one day.

There is also the debut of several Latinos: the most prominent was Záarate Mauro, author of a double with the shirt of Lazio, but also played very well in Catania Pablo Ledesma and German Denis in Napoli, among others.

With regard to the scorers table, the aforementioned Zarate shared the tip with Antonio Di Natale, also author of a double but in this case of extraordinary technical quality. Among the big scorers, only Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rolando Bianchi were present at the boards this first day.

Mourinho, WITHOUT triumph DEBUT
It started in Genoa the long road of learning the new coach of Inter, José Mourinho. The debut before Sampdoria ended with a tie up that may be considered generous, as if anyone deserved the victory, that was undoubtedly the local team.

The Portuguese stunned the world by declaring that “Sampdoria had to change their usual schedule to play against Inter.” If that was his thinking, that we fear will be a surprise more or less unpleasant in every game, because the specialty of Italian coaches, the better prepared tactically in the world, is precisely the knowledge of the game change depending on the team’s rival, to limit their qualities and put unexpected problems.

It was what happened in Marassi: Walter Mazzarri first what made Palombo in the center circle, absolutely free of arming the game as Stankovic was very reclining on defense, and indeed the steering wheel was DORIAN figure of the stadium. Then lie to the left by Cassano and put a steering wheel, Delvecchio, to buoy the crescent. Result: Mourinho never found him around and Inter drew the cheap because rivals did not have a front area, which could transform into reality the vast superiority displayed at maneuvering.

Offense, Inter depended on the ability to gather members of his trident and, indeed, the goal was a beautiful play between Manicni double-walled and Ibrahimovic, but the two eaves also have to cover and then the Swedish is very lonely above, beyond that inevitably in the second phase had to be replaced on both external absolutely exhausted.

In sum, by far the Inter Mourinho differs from the previous Roberto Mancini by the side of mind, but on this game seems even more poor and boring than that.

Of course, the game Mourinho, the athletic condition has great importance, and then we will have to wait to see what happens when the physical respond in full.

Nedved was one of the best in the Juve
Juventus was probably the best team left standing, at least at the level of image, from that first date. Indeed, the Old Lady should have won in Florence, because he was much more solid, forceful and expert that Fiorentina.

However, the final minutes, which last season had almost always been a land of harvest for the bianconeri, in this case brought the bitterness of an unexpected tie, trapped by that Gilardino, with the cure Prandelli, seems to have returned to the “cobra” lethal we knew at the time of Parma.

So Juventus, which had the advantage of playing knowing the outcome of others, missed a good chance to eat at peak pressure and goals to all other candidates, even though obviously a draw in Florence can not be regarded as a bad result.

From a technical standpoint, this early departure confirmed our doubts regarding the campaign purchases: Poulsen played well and is a strong reinforcement in the middle, but Mellberg (guilty at the goal) looks slow and machines, as on the other hand already knew, while Amauri is an excellent striker but can hardly do better than the attack at Juventus last season.

Instead, the creation of the game continues to fall on the shoulders of Camoranesi, in Florence surely the best of his kind (alongside Nedved): for a season that was announced long and calentita, and considering that must be spent on energy Champions, we feel that another wheel of creation had been very useful.

In fact before Fiorentina, who had been with a man less for the expulsion of Philip, there was nobody (Camoranesi had left, agotadísimo) knew that hold the ball and “freeze” the process in the few minutes that was lacking for the final.

Fiorentina, meanwhile, extrañó much to Mutu but further Montolivo, the only one capable of thinking in the middle. Almirón played very well in the first stage, animated by an obvious desire for revenge against his former team, but Santana and Osvaldo were far from his best level and the game never really took flight.

Milan and Rome, failures and Medi
San Siro Stadium is one of the most beautiful in the world, especially in big occasions, when he gets festive and filled in his capacity of 80 thousand people.

That was on Sunday, replete with a people rossonero enthusiastic supporter of the official debut of Ronaldinho and the return of “prodigal son”, Shevchenko. How is that not missing skipper, Silvio Berlusconi, who for a day set aside its role as prime minister to attend personally to the triumph of the two players he wanted on his team with the strength of their money.

Shevchenko returned but was unable to celebrate
Well, the debut of Ronaldinho was not bad: even playing in a stadium scarf, say a strip of 25 meters long by 15 wide, reclining on the edge of the area by left, the Brazilian showed literally impossible to mark and, since his position, he served assistance Ambrosini’s goal, had a chance to clear his head and got at least another five assists over that were squandered by his companions (one of incredible Sheva, a stone’s throw from the archer).

But that was the only positive note of the day, because the presence of Ronaldinho seemed to amplify the shortcomings of Milan, namely his incurable hedonism that leads him to always do more, as if everyone wanted to join with the ball in the arch rival displicencia and its defensive, to be honest it has to do more with fliers that with the defenders, taken in speed every counterattack.

Indeed, the transition Bologna ran four times: two were goals, another was a miracle saved (half criminal, incidentally) Maldini and the fourth in the auction Di Vaio came barely deflected. Clearly, something is not working there now and that AC Milan is just a set of stars but in no way a team.

Will Ancelotti resolving the enigma, finding the back? Personally, we are quite pessimistic: with the return of Kaká, it would be best to go back to 4-3-1-2 with Ronaldinho second striker alongside Borriello or Inzaghi, even if it involves sacrifice to Seedorf, Shevchenko and Duck. In defence, it remains to be seen if Nesta returns or if Senderos is shown a good defender, while in the middle is impossible to dispense with the claw of Gattuso.

With regard to Rome, we believe that the party of yesterday can not be a real measure of their potential. Indeed, match left at home advantage in being with numerical superiority and seemed clearly a failure, but we must not forget that Nápoli played the Intertoto and thus began preparing almost a month earlier, a difference that the second stage was very noticeable and that overrides the man over.

Moreover, Rome was missing Totti, Perrotta and Taddei, three pillars of real game Spalletti. Aquilani did not do so badly, Baptista and Riise either, Menez was in the end and seems to have good qualities, but reinforcements arrived on time and Spalletti system requires a lot of work during the week to be implemented effectively.

In sum, here again postponed with a conditional suspension of the trial. By contrast, only compliments for Napoli, which is increasingly in South America and that continues to grow Lavezzi: before Rome was unstoppable at times and, if achieved improve a little item definition, would be for 20 goals per season.

The rest
The available space does not permit us to analyse in depth the rest of the cast, but there are several things it is necessary to say. First, early indications seem to confirm an average level much better in the past.

We really enjoyed Sampdoria, as was said, but Udinese, in the hands of a special Di Natale (two golazos), dispatched a smooth Palermo, once again, but seems not to want power.

Eye with Torino: the campaign was very good shopping, the pair of strikers is excellent (Bianchi and Amoruso were the best two years ago together with the T-shirt Reggina), Rosina could find its final consecration, the line is good and flyers the defense seems solid. It could be the big surprise.

Like the South American Catania: Genoa debuted before Ledesma (not Carboni, injured), but the best was one that was already, Pablo Alvarez, while Martinez was instrumental in the decisive goal of the game.

Ojo also with Lazio: last season, we had said, was somewhat unusual, but the campus was already good and was now reinforced very well, with Carrizzo the arc, a pair of defenders category, Matuzalem in the middle and forward this young man Zarate promises to make havoc.

It must be said, however, that Cagliari had bad luck: well-earned, with the goal of Larrivey (who seems to have benefited from the MUF over), but remained with expulsion by a man less absurd (and criminal, above) and there collapsed.

The other wins were in charge of Atalanta, who are increasingly about what they intended and Luigi Del Neri has several interesting young people on campus (broke guaranteed, the goal he did Padoin), and Chievo, who celebrated the Back in Serie A with a tight victory (took advantage of a non-existent criminal and a goalkeeper error) to Reggina.

In short, for now it is too early to talk about drop zone and we suspect that this year will spend many dates before the table takes a look easy interpretation.

The tournament will now have a week’s recess, in which the selection Azzurra played two games of World Cup elimination. It will return to play the weekend of September 14, clashes with other very interesting as Juventus vs. Udinese, Napoli vs. Fiorentina and Palermo vs. Rome.

The date is supplemented with the following matches: vs. Inter. Catania, Genoa vs.. Milan, Lecce vs. Chievo, Siena vs.. Cagliari vs. Bologna. Atalanta, Reggina vs.. And Torino vs. Lazio. Sampdoria. Not yet been established advances and on Sunday night.
