Juventus-Real Madrid: Authentic taste of Champions

Which sounds good to receive either a Tuesday with a function to the rhythm of Champions and with a title that evokes so many years of fighting in the summit. Images such as duels between Raul and Buffon; the picturesque dance of joy Seedorf and Panucci after achieving the seventh or the latter goal of Zalayeta in 2005 are some of images of the past Juventus - Real Madrid. The two giants return to face top competition in the mainland to retrieve lost their supremacy on the continent, as the table Turin has left the tunnel in which they got through their sporting and financial scandals that have been portrayed with that Calciopoli.

Once that has brought the boat back to the Juventus pointer that put him pertoca, no favorable winds for Claudio Ranieri. The blanquinegros have not won any of the last five encounters disputed in their competitions. These results, finished with an unexpected defeat in Naples, put the sword of Damocles over the head of the Italian technician.

This sword is now in the hands of Real Madrid with a morale strengthened after winning the last minute to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby. Spaniards remain firm in all competitions and have passed, prays with class and technical superiority, either by fighting and pasted all the serious obstacles encountered in their path. Especially comforting was the last clash of Champions before the Zenit St Petersburg, which brings to Madrid with the classification of very expensive and with the advantage that they do not have the imperative of winning at the Comunale in Turin. But it carried the three points before the Vecchia Signora classification would almost directly.

Given the many injured and alubión of criticism and bad atmosphere surrounding the team after recent mediocre performances and the game developed, Juve remains confident in its sacred cows as cornerstones of the team, with players who have been around but already sound like another era, another decade. Alessandro Del Piero and Pavel Nedved will face holders Real Madrid, while talented and promising young as Sebastian Giovinco come with dropper, to use a nickname generous.

La Juve suffered a real plague of injuries that affect key points in all its lines. This plague leaves out for the game to players of the caliber of Buffon, Camoranesi, Zanetti, Poulsen, Tiago, Trezeguet, Zebina and Jorge Andrade. Others like Iaquinta, will be Legrottaglie and Mellberg recovering from his injuries and could be available to the technical bianconero. However, the eleventh day that is shaping what form Manniger through the goal posts; Molinaro, Chiellini, Knezevic and Grygera in defense; Nedved, Marchisio, Sissoko and Salihamidzic in midfield, Amauri and Del Piero tip attack.

As part of Real Madrid, everything points to Arjen Robben will return to the title after completely overcome their physical problems, like Wesley Sneijder and Fernando Gago. The threat of whites still in its fearsome offensive trident whose tip is indisputable that makes Dutch goal in almost everything they touch for years. The goal before the Atletico de Madrid started the match just shows the great virtues that make Van Nistelrooy one of the best forwards - even, on the international scene: the portentous ability to manufacture the solito occasions.

Schuster is expected to align Casillas in goal; Heinze, Pepe, Cannavaro and Ramos in defense, Sneijder, Gago and Van der Vaart in midfield, Raul, Van Nistelrooy and Higuaín reborn in the attack.

Two Bosnians and a Senegalese put the TSG Hoffenheim 1899 with the great

In the Bundesliga, where they already have spent eight days from the start, there is a team that is surprising to everybody, recently promoted an irreverent and disrespectful to the large, ambitious and like few seconds in the classification, relief at the undisputed German championship … No one could expect the TSG Hoffenheim 1899 to queue outside at the party of big in his first year in the top category, but at the moment is amazing and emerging, led by one-fifth of young, especially by two attackers Bosnians.

Ibisevic , which meets major front in Hoffenheim his second campaign, is the top scorer in the Bundesliga . Has signed nine targets in eight matches, the same as in his two previous seasons. Can not even say that last year was a decisive player for promotion, but this season is emerging. Is the great reference remarkable team of Ralf Rangnick and his goals is to keep it up and hope the Bosnian football, traditionally the weakest, near the Macedonian Balkans.

That its explosion occurred at 24 years is explained by the adverse circumstances they have endured since the beginning. His family left Bosnia in 2000 and settled in Switzerland, where he started playing in the lower grades of Basel … However, shortly after his family moved to the United States. Fortunately, Ibisevic did not change the ball for baseball bats, he continued playing in high school and university, garnering some outrageous numbers … His luck changed when in 2004 a ojeador of the Bosnian federation in search of talent in the country of opportunities saw him and made a report and have it be with the selection Bosnian sub 21. In a few days of training with the selection, Vahid Halilhodzic , Bosnian technician who now heads to Ivory Coast, for which it captured in the play PSG, who trained team at the time. France jumped out to Germany, specifically the Ahchen to stop the previous season at Hoffenheim.

Ibisevic has the goal by flag goes head as silk, is pretty fast for its 190 centimeters and above all has a smell of scoring devastating. An ideal way to attack another young Bosnian Salihovic , which acts a bit more back and holds an excellent versatility, becoming one of the key players in Hoffenheim his promotion last year. Both are an ideal match, which lies in the Senegalese Demba Ba a partner in the forefront of luxury. Ba, another key player in the rise of the previous campaign, the other tower clever and fast 190 centimeters in the past three days has made four so many, far ahead of their field 23 years. Among the three added 18 goals and a trident fulminating.

Behind them there are a range of players with a promising future. The midfielder left-handed Tobias Weir , the young Brazilian Carlos Eduardo ‘to’ and above all the defenses Andreas Beck , right side of 21 years of high level and Marvin Compper elevate the level of a team that in its first year in the Bundesliga not to hoard praise of the hands of a coach, Ralf Rangnick, who has only just chaining promotions since cogiera the team in the Regionalliga Süd , a kind of Second B in Germany in 2006. If the logic is imposed, the TSG Hoffenheim 1899 will lower the piston, to the power of the large, but for now there is another who removed his hat with this team littered with young talented and excited, real sense of this strange burst of the Bundesliga having to Bayern, Borussia, Stuttgart, Schalke and Werder with four and three points from a recently promoted.

Recession threat basketball

The defenses are imposed on the attacks. “Usually a phrase that commentators used to say that no one party has been horrific. In Kalise Gran Canaria-Barca last Tuesday, one could say that the island is defending the attack imposed Barca. And that in a team with Navarro, Basile and Andersen is a bad sign. In this clash the Catalans scored 57 points. Trademarks have already obtained similar Iurbentia (55), Lakers (58) and Cajasol (59). Dispose euphemisms, anything that is not moving as many 65 in a game is almost an insult to professional basketball. In this world in crisis seems that the recession had also come to some teams. It is true that under a single result can be considered accidental, but the bad thing is that coaches tend to justify its abysmal record on the wisdom to stop rival sentenced they have to defend stronger next time. So martyr to his followers that sometimes look a little more than a point per minute of his team.

A rhythm of Tango: Riquelme shines and sinks to River

River collapses. River wins and is not a primary. It is clear that something was rotten in the Millionaire, which shares with eight points Finish Bottom with Central in this amazing opening. There have been many defeats in this tournament but yesterday was particularly painful because Punishment inflingió who was Boca. Indeed, on Sunday were able to enjoy a new Superclásico , the Argentine soccer great party … And not disappointed, because Riquelme once again proved that it is different when you want to , an illuminated with the ball at his feet, a marvel, the best coupling of the planet.

Was yesterday, superclásico of the greatness of Roman, despite the fact that Paletta on defense and Bataglia in midfield did a partidazo. But it was, I repeat, the superclásico for display and showcasing staff of ten, who wanted to make clear in the very Monumental who is the most unusual left-handed playing nowadays in Argentina. River facing the clash in bad conditions in Boca but not very well painted the thing, after the public confrontation between Caceres’ to ‘and Riquelme. But once the field has nothing to ten bostero took out his best repertory, an entire arsenal of passes and caresses the leather … And of course gave him an ideal service to young Viatrio to make both the sole and final of victory.

The embrace that at the end of the meeting were Riquelme and Caceres symbolizes the burial of the hatchet and gives wings to Boca, which was going through its best. Obviously, thinking that the Xeneize can fight the Open is a chimera, because it is eight points
San Lorenzo , which returned to winning. It is not the distance, but the sensations that Sunday after Sunday passed the Cuervo, a team launched toward the title, which undoubtedly has the most balanced plan of the championship and took six victories in a row.

River, for its part, continues to breathe without . In the Open, after ten days has only won a match. It takes eight dates without adding three points … Lives a critical situation, virtually unprecedented. And in the collective imagination of a fan Ortega took power the Burrito. Riquelme himself downplayed the potential of the Millionaire in the prior superclásico when he played for valuing the Núñez, noting that he had lost a lot with the departure of their best player. What yesterday was disturbing, because not even able to take advantage of their numerical superiority for almost the entire second part, after they were agreed to Ibarra’s family linesman, to the point that gave Boca a look at one less.

From that Ortega was he was never with such intensity ovation . After they were dismissed for players with whistles and Simeone saw as a bullet passing close by, and within the dressing room, players and the coach could hear the call of the fans, angry at the defeat, calling for the return of the idol of the that never should have been gone, that’s dispensed Simeone … It would appear that in River burning the ball, which absence of a football player with guts to grab the ball and will miss the team behind his back … River suffers and if you do not win in Chivas to the South American Simeone is likely not to finish his contract. Perhaps the best thing because it is clear that there is no connection between the coach and the team … The shadow of Ortega still bitter at Cholo ‘to’ and Riquelme continues to damage the open wound. “Come on, we would have done much damage,” said the crack on the bostero Burrito … That will never know.
