Madrid fate in hand Barca




Real Madrid high confidence that they will be revived in 2009. However, any tooth Los Blancos try, they remain in the hands of Barcelona.



Arrival Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Lassana Diarra to the Santiago Bernabeu at the beginning of this month is an indication of how Barcelona will attempt to rise from a decline in the first half of last season. Two players can not be the last one recruited by the organizers of the lack of number 12 from El Barca.



But all efforts to improve the performance of the Madrid can only be futile, in connection with efforts to maintain the title champion La Primera Liga. Resurrection will be useless if at the same time Barcelona still appear convincing as in the first half of the season.



So can or can not champion Los Merengues so very dependent on the performance of Barca in the second half later. At least this analysis came from the former Striker Madrid in the 1980s, Hugo Sánchez.



"It's very difficult to make Madrid won the league. If it can happen, they must often slip Barcelona," said Hugo Sánchez as the fed Goal.



Proceed man who is now listed as a top skorer number two all time in the Spanish League, Madrid should be better because skuad have a classy. If up to now they are still up in the five positions, because they lose the stimulus Support form.



"Madrid is not the lack of good players. There are many quality players and incredibly high, they may lose some support. But I am not in the capacity to discuss it," said the man occupying the seat of the new coach at UD Almeria it.

Arshavin, the lure of the market for winter


* The Zenit takes over the running of his'10 ', who already was on the agenda of Madrid and Barca


* Wenger needs reinforcements following the injuries of long duration of Cesc, Rosicky and Walcott



Andrei Arshavin, one of the great stars of the last European Championship, is the main reference of the market for winter in European football, which begins on Jan. 1. The half-edge Russian, 27, could sign for Arsenal, deprived of the injured Cesc until next April.



Arsène Wenger seems to love the little genius of St. Petersburg, who already visited the facilities' Gunners' a few months ago. In addition, the French technician recently acknowledged that seeking a "creative midfielder," a reinforcement to alleviate the problem of injuries to Fabregas and Theo Walcott and Tomas Rosicky, too long.



The gas company Gazprom, owner of the Zenit, confirmed last week that they had received an offer from London of 21 million euros and in that case would not hesitate to accept. A manageable figure for a player of enormous talent, but depressed in recent months, held against their will in the ancient city of the Tsars.



And the arrival of the'10 'Russian might still be cheaper, because the English newspaper' Daily Mirror 'looks very close to the agreement by only 13 million, which would mean a bargain compared with recent expenditures by Real Madrid and Huntelaar Lassana Diarra.

Out of the Champions League



Arsenal, fifth in the Premiership to 10 points on the head, you need a new leader, because the emerging Vela, Ramsey and Wilshere are too young even for a guy so bold as Wenger. The only problem is that Arshavin for this season could not contest the Champions League, where he saw this fall too gray to Real Madrid and Juventus.



However, Dennis Lachter, representative of the player, playing its role in the negotiations, praised his player and puts brake on the optimism of the English. "We know that Wenger likes the figure of Arshavin, but I like that of Angelina Jolie and this is not everything."



On Dec. 10 he played his last match with Zenit shirt at the Santiago Bernabeu, before the watchful eye of Juande Ramos, who wanted to employ last July for Tottenham. The Barcelona also scoring the ground in summer and Madrid appear to have resigned after his two recent signings.


Milito and Podolski, in the diaries of the great



And is that the global financial crisis does not seem to affect the white club, a great entertainer of the market in December. Weighed down by poor performance, the embodiments of urgency Ramon Calderon have not caused any domino effect. For now, the only addition of bells has been that of David Beckham, who came to Milan with a contract for 'day'.



In anticipation of a major operation maintaining the oil magnates of Manchester City and Inter Mourinho, yet the future of the rebellious Adriano. The leader of the Serie A could incorporate Diego Milito, for which the Genoa requires 30 million euros.



Another of the most appetizing striker Lukas Podolski is, without a site in front of Bayern with Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose. In addition, the Bavarian club has secured the transfer of Landon Donovan from the Galaxy, and still does not hide his interest in Ivica Olic, the Hamburg striker.

Liverpool roll at Newcastle




* Torres returned to stay in Britain


* The rival Real Madrid in the Champions going through a great moment in shape




Liverpool took a blow to the authority of Premier League endorsing a resounding 1-5 at Newcastle United and thus sending a message to their rivals. Authentic recital of the 'reds', which allowed the luxury of leaving Riera, Keane and Alonso on the bench and postpone the re-emergence of Fernando Torres one day more.



Total domination in midfield of Mascherano and Leiva, whose work made it a free hand to Benayoun, Babel, Kuyt and Gerrard to give a lesson in offensive football. The captain of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard, played in St. James' Park behind Kuyt with total freedom of movement and, with two many, was the figure of the party.



Rafa Benitez's team took control of the match from the first quarter of an hour, and only the fantastic performance of the target Shay Given prevented Gerrard and Hyypia opened the scoring before. It was not until minute 30 of the first part to Yoshi Benayoun, after a great interned by right wing, left the ball to Gerrard who, coming from behind, batiese the goal of the 'magpies' powerful shot from a tight to the pole . Given to unstoppable.



Minutes later, Sammi Hyypia finished off a corner only fully launched by the captain of Liverpool and wrote his first goal this season. In the minutes following, again stops Given saved the furniture for a Newcastle that, at the edge of the rest was with a goal of the Canadian Edgar.


The 'reds' sentenced in the second half



The goal of Edgar ended up being a mere mirage. With the departure of the local technical Ameobi, Joe Kinnear, tried to find weaknesses in the band left the team to Anfield, but the goal from Ryan Babel at 49, in a sensational defensive error from Newcastle, ended up breaking the game.



Gerrard again at 65, receiving pass in depth Leiva, Xabi Alonso and, in 75 penalty closed the scoring. The Basque midfielder had left in the second half in place of Yoshi Benayoun.



The Newcastle, which together after two consecutive defeats in seven matches if they know defeat, losing the momentum it had achieved with the arrival of their new coach. Besides the 'magpies' revealed many shortcomings leading to the offensive.

Champion winter in the 'boxing day'


* Tevez resolves a difficult compromise of Manchester in the area of Stoke City (0-1)


* The Aston Villa rose two goals against and increases the doubts of Arsenal (2-2)





Liverpool were given a tribute in the traditional 'Boxing Day' and signed a resounding victory at the Bolton (3-0) with two goals from Keane and another from Riera. The 'reds', who had tied in their last three duels at Anfield, will hold on the leadership of the Premiership despite a low of Fernando Torres, ruled out at the last minute of the call for Rafa Benitez.



In the absence of El Nino joined the Arbeloa, also ruled out on the list, and Mascherano, who rested on the bench. None of this affected the pentacampeón Europe, which won a new victory with a Spanish flavor. Shortly before the half hour, Riera gave the advantage after the first round off a corner launched from the right by Gerrard.



In the second half, Keane initialed the sentence with a volley after another with the left-handed pass from Gerrard and with a simple shot that crowned a counterattack born in the hands of Queen and led by Xabi Alonso. In this way, the group gave Benitez reply to the triumphs of his immediate followers and won the honorary title of winter champions at the end of the first round in front of the table.



The day of St. Stephen, which celebrates the day on which traditionally gave gifts to employees of wealthy families, was also conducive to Chelsea. The wards of Luiz Felipe Scolari, only one point on the head, were reconciled with Stamford Bridge, where he also added three games without a win and lapsed without strain at West Bromwich Albion, colista of the Premier. Two goals from Drogba and Lampard settled the clash left before the break.



Manchester United, meanwhile, won a provisional third place by winning 1-0 at Stoke City's feud thanks to a late Carlos Tevez both at minute 82. The 'red devils' took advantage of the expulsion of Wilkinson at the equator for the second time to win his fifth victory at home.



But nothing was placid in the Britannia Stadium for the recent world champion, who lost in warming to Rio Ferdinand through injury. The modest Stoke, newly promoted to the Premier, was taken out of the thorn embedded 5-0 at Old Trafford in mid-November. The 'red devils', with two games less by its commitments in the World clubs, are still seven points of the head.



The anger of the coach of Hull City



For his part, Manchester City came out of the drop to golear a loose Hull City (5-1) with two goals from Robinho, two of Caicedo and one more than Ireland. The group of Mark Hughes, who had won only two of their previous 13 commitments, took advantage of a weak rival, who left to rest so much with four against.



Nothing brought more rest, Phil Brown technical visitor, played one of the images of the day. Instead of waiting for the costumes, decided abroncar their footballers on the lawn, a few yards from where their fans were.


Golazo of sterile Diaby



Finally, the Aston Villa back to two goals against Arsenal and pulled a deserved draw in the time off (2-2). The whole of Birmingham enjoyed a handful of occasions before a mistake by Reo-Coker just before the break was tapped by Denilson to put the Londoners ahead.



Helped by the 0-1, the 'Gunners' doubled their advantage on 49 minutes after a spectacular goal by Diaby. The French side, with a beautiful race of heel in his field, launched a counterattack full power, relied on Eboue and went left of forces for Friedel to beat.



It seemed the sentence for Wenger, but a penalty for unnecessary Gallas gave oxygen to the Villa. Barry converted from 11 meters and the premises were turned in search of a tie. At minute 91, after rejecting in the area, the central Knight brought to justice in the light with an accurate zurdazo from the front. In this way, the Arsenal is 10 points in the leadership and 'villains' are consolidated in the Champions League zone.

The Suit Milan Beckham out shopping with Dolce & Gabbana




Not even dressed yet short, but in just two days in Italy, the English David Beckham deployed and all his "glamorous" media in Italy, where hundreds of fans and photographers pursued him while adjusting to their new city, Milan, making shopping with his wife in Dolce & Gabbana.



The English will play until March in Milan released by his club, Los Angeles Galaxy, and since his arrival everything seems to go on wheels for Milan, which won 5-1 at Udinese on Sunday, shortly after the presentation of the midfielder.



The huge victory on Sunday was hard to predict after a difficult stage of the kites, but the media interest by the English, fed by the player's environment and the Milan, was expected.



Both Alexandre Pato as Kaká, who thunder at Udinese with his four goals, had to answer questions after the match on Beckham, who along with his wife Victoria watched the match from the stage.



Beckham, 33, who comes to Milan during the break of the football league estadounidenes order not to lose the shape and keep playing in the English selection, will not abandon its activity as an icon of advertising.



The medical profession of Milan are happy with the physical condition of English and added that at least could have played a part in the game against Udinese.



The coach of Milan, Carlo Ancelotti, who said everyone is pleased by the arrival of Beckham, one that seeks happiness represented by a series of TV ads committed by players of the team.



The press welcomed with skepticism the arrival of Beckham. The Italian daily "La Reppublica" preferred to highlight the performance of Kaká and Pato who made four goals.



"Brazilian reaction," he titled the newspaper. The "Stampa" follows the same line and highlights the performance of the Brazilians ahead of the presence of Beckham.



"The Milan resorts to the Brazilians, while waiting for Beckham." The "Running of the Serra" was reserved: "Beckham arrived, but the stadium remained cold," published.



"If we play at the place of Pirlo (offensive midfielder) or as a substitute for Gattuso (defensive midfielder), as will be seen," said Ancelotti. "I'm sure we can contribute something positive. It could debut against Roma (on January 11 when the league resumes), where alinearé my best team. If you are in the field is that it is in good shape to play. "



He is part of Milan, however promised to attend events that have little to do with football, and where his wife Victoria is involved.



After the player passed a weekend medical examinations, the singer went in search of the hotel and met with designers Dolce & Gabbana. The climax of fever by Beckham arrived on Sunday afternoon, when the couple walk in the neighborhood of fashion in Milan, with hundreds of fans gathered at the gates of the store from D & G.



There is no doubt that English is a big advertised. So much so that recent speculation about Beckham talk about a possible involvement in a "reality show that will be recorded in 2009 for Mediaset, a chain owned by the president of Milan and Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi.

Chelsea fail in their assault on the leadership




Everton deserved more than the tie (0-0) against Chelsea, which sought to take advantage of the matched Liverpool to take the lead. The English league is still commanded by the panel of Rafael Benitez at the end of the 18th day, a point ahead of Luiz Felipe Scolari.



Chelsea had the obstacle of the expulsion of John Terry to 34 minutes per game for a ticket to Leon Osman that the referee interpreted as a violent action.



Until then he had brought the encounter to his spot and, although not large mount of scoring opportunities, Everton remained on the lookout accentuating its defensive profile.



Everton hit by an injury he did much better after the expulsion and was deserving of that would have been his first victory against Chelsea in the last 21 clashes.



As we progressed the clash, the pressure of the premises was increased to the point of forcing two magisterial interventions and Peter Cech, 10 minutes from the final score a goal that was nullified by a Pienaar offside after a formidable and the hubbub that Chelsea's goalkeeper stopped the ball on the goal line.



Chelsea went from dominant to dominated. Scolari removed from the countryside to Anelka, who was able to dial in the first part of almost rebound, but the ball hit the base of the pole. In their place came Drogba, with more capacity to retain the ball and secure the offensive possessions of the 'Blues'.



Finished the day, the Liverpool boss with 39 points, with Chelsea and one Aston Villa in the third position, and to five. The Manchester United with two games less, is fourth with 32 points.

Barca signing the full




* Andy Cole ahead of Villarreal just starting the second part


* The expulsion of Pique and the uncertainty gave impetus to the local denouement



Villarreal discussed by you to your hierarchy of Barcelona and finished as the latest victim of a group that has settled in the first direct confrontation with their most threatening rivals: Real Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla and, months before, Atletico de Madrid.



In three days of the equator garter belts, the Barcelona makes sure the title of winter champions, perhaps the least important honorary award for all of those who could boast: enviable dynamics of the game, great defensive discipline despite their risky approach and the awareness that when someone is missing, another always able to maintain the level of the collective.



None of his opponents objected so much resistance to the affluent as Barcelona Villarreal. It is the dignity that resplandecerá in the wound of his defeat. He made a tactical approach flawless until the tyranny of the goal he threw down. Set aside to Eto'o and Messi without kicking, placed obstacles in the pathway of Alves and Abidal, truncated progression of the ball season with the high performance of the couple Eguren, Senna and all this without abandoning the mark, something that, in addition , Succeeded before your enemy.



For about 45 minutes intense, Diego Lopez extended his reputation for great goalkeeper to stop two balls to Henry and murderers Busquets, while Valdes, on the other goal, thanked the poor performance of two auctions of Rossi.



Barcelona took the fourth time in imposing their domination of the ball better and much more time to unravel the fabric defensive provisions Manuel Pellegrini, who both held the first two minutes of the match after the break, in a move that the book was born a robbery at the line and sent a perfect long Rossi to Cann.



It was the second time that Chelsea broke the defensive line ahead of the season and the first in which the attacker, this time the Zaragozano that left midfielder Nihat on the bench, and rightly so overcome with an excellent and difficult to tap the departure of Valdes .



The Barcelona recalled another virtue that often does not need to show: that of keeping the focus on a difficult situation. Quickened something the game, maybe he saw a glimmer of anxiety in Messi and Eto'o, but found the elixir of success once again in a move seemingly uninteresting in which Keita, who had postponed in reserve Yaya Toure - Was played the type to head for goal before the departure of Diego Lopez. Previously, the mali had found its central position between the two yellows, and Gonzalo Godín to meet with the center of Alves.



Unlike the season, the El Madrigal it accused the setback. Caved in and ball field again. At the same time, reflected the need for the new air refresher players. Meanwhile, Xavi-master-leaked intermittently in the area and took another center that looks harmless resolved Henry, the French at last, with just a touch lethal.



The party, which until then had not offered more football delights that are entangled in anger, bountiful first actions punishable with cards. The arbitrator will be heated as a microwave and expelled Pique with two yellow cards in the space of four minutes, the second without reason.



Pellegrini had just been introduced to Nihat and Guille Franco to strengthen the attack. Shortly after the final expulsion was sending the message with the replacement of Senna by Ibagaza while Guardiola, who had already given entry to Toure hurt by Busquets, appealed to the central Martin Caceres (for Henry) and then by the Belarussian Hleb Eto'o.



Then, in 15 minutes late (including the five added by the referee) when the Villarreal grazed the tie. And what happened in the first part: that the auction of Guille and Nihat not found the right direction when it seemed inevitable goals. Barcelona, playing with fire, was defended with everything, but even so resigned to take the ball near the area of Diego Lopez. One way, better than any other, to defend to the end.

Real Madrid are combined with the madness


* Apoteósico game back and forth in Chamartin, where Valencia deserved better fate


* Robben signed his best performance as Madrid and Mata showed his talent



The madness of football left breathless at the Bernabeu, who enjoyed and suffered in equal parts with a chaotic game, finally opted to Madrid by inexplicable designs. The outward and return flights the misrule at the center, kicking and sometimes wrong to put the coaches on the verge of heart attack. The greatest paradox personified the Higuaín, the only one who was right with the network but also the more erratic before the rival goalkeeper. Al notable Valencia, commanded by Mata, just lacked the wisdom to a stellar Casillas.



With matches well, the stadiums are always filled. Of course, anyone with the ability to enjoy Robben, the instinct for Villa, Joaquin speed or the effort of Gago. There was everything, good and bad. A handfuls. The ambition visitor found an unexpected obstacle in their own master. Marchena, determined to remember its reputation for tough guy, he left his team with one less when it seemed the closer tie. Real Madrid entonadísimo by the right, was overwhelmed by the slowness of his defense, one stop before the overflow of elephants' che '.



There was no respite in 96 minutes. It was an expanded version of the game last year, where Valencia was far less merit to win. Then they marked five goals. This time it was due to overcome the dozen. Implausible that does not move the marker from the zurdazo Higuaín in the minutes of two, to direct the squad in its auction of the most difficult night. The powerful local startup, always led by a superb Robben, found continuity with the ball to the stick of Van der Vaart and another auction of the'11 'Renan neutralized in the first suit.



Valencia seemed shy by the same optimism suggested by Juande on the night of his debut. Guti had meters to think and Robben was pulled sharply again and again in the same eslalon. However, something is cooked over a low heat on the board of Emery, who made tabula rasa and convinced of his comeback to thoroughbreds. Valencia responded with a commendable authority, the big team, with a huge deployment, taking advantage of the doubts white. He stayed halfway in the Madrid pressure. Amaga out with a rival camp, as it was before the Zenit or tuck around your area, as Saturday at the Camp Nou.
The resurrection of Casillas



At that point the dead penó Madrid, dizzy by the verticality visitor. Mata silenced to Madrid with a direct free whistling along to the post twice and Villa forgave very clear before the break. It was only the beginning. The Madrid should suffer more. Above all Casillas, who had come to address these guys short, Mata and Villa, escorted by the voluble and inspiration from Joaquin. Juande tried to Raul, weakened by the flu. But the job of captain in the opposite camp did not seem enough. In this desperate situation, with Valencia dump, just as a goalkeeper Iker can avoid the goals of Villa sung along to the club and Baraja, with a blank header.



Emery became more dynamite with Silva and Maduro, relieving the poor Del Horno, who will ring a few days with Robben. In full storm visitor, a bad throw Renan ended with the Red Marchena, crazy by nerves. Stunned by what he had missed the Valencia lost his orientation. Albiol had to see the red for a poke that opened the top of Palanca. That little respite eased five minutes to Madrid, which however did not find a long-term plan to stop and temper.



The numerical superiority, however, gave him four clarísimas options for sentencing. Higuaín gave food to his critics with two slips of youth. Robben, already fatigued, wildly individualistic, clouded his festival. Palanca, with desparpajo, showed that it has no left leg. So, in that come and go, shone Gago, in aid of its central suppliants. The Madrid was called up to the discount, bailing two balls of scoring. The Valencia launched 13 corner kick, took the ball for 57% of the time and left without a prize of a madhouse called the Bernabeu.

Serie A This Week: Create a Christmas Gift aiting Milan


AC Milan last week suffering 2-4 defeat of Juventus. Victory over Udinese this weekend can be a cure for the defeat, while the Christmas gift came early.



Until giornata to the Il-16 is Rossoneri have 30 points, the same as those owned Napoli, the ranking of the three. The number of points that disagree with nine of the top forum while, Inter Milan, who is also a rival sekota them.



Carlo Ancelotti admitted that Milan had many problems this season. Inkonsistennya Milan disebakan performance of many core players such as the injury, Alessandro Nesta, Kaka, Marco Boriello, Mathieu Flamini, missorkidea Bonera and Gennaro Gattuso.



However, the problems that must immediately be overlooked. Milan will be tested again this weekend because they will face Udinese at the Stadio San Syro. Although Udinese are in the stage 11, but Il Zebrette can only complicate Paolo Maldini et al.



In the performance of Antonio Natale et al own this season relatively unstable. Its lead the forum at the beginning of the season, the team's performance besutan Pasquale Marino will continue to decline marked by never achieve victory since the week to 10. Is Udinese will be a Christmas gift that premature to make Milanisti? Or the exact opposite? We see it!

Meanwhile, Inter will visit this weekend to the Artemio Franchi to face Siena.

Are these solid defense can hold the rate of home team José Mourinho who are thirsty for victory to maintain their position at the top?



Juventus, the performance climb after reaching the middle of eight victories from the last nine games, will be treated by Atalanta at Atleti Azzurri d'Italia. Three points, be obliged team Claudio Ranieri is when you want to continue to stick to strict Nerazzuri in the top of the board. The mission is not easy given the steady cook Juventus are still some injury players.



Rank three, Napoli will play the Olimpico stadium in Turin against Torino team under the boards. I Partenopei should be alert to the child care Walter Novellino, because they must take three figures meaningful for the degradation of the zone. Napoli will not yet appear without their mainstay, namely Ezequiel Lavezzi, which affected suspension, and still cederanya half Marek Hamsik.

Arsenal-Liverpool, main course of the Premier


* The Blackburn, after six consecutive defeats, needs a victory against the Stoke City



A leader of the Liverpool general, which could regain the Spanish Fernando Torres in their line of attack, this Sunday will visit the Emirates to face Arsenal star Cesc in the party for the next round of the Premier.



The training, which protects the Madrid Rafa Benitez remains at the top of the tournament, though many had been blessed by fortune. Last weekend, the 'reds' not moved from a tie to two before a Hull City peleón they left at the mercy of the second ranked, Chelsea.



Luck is allied with the eleventh day of Anfield, who misses the least talented scorer of the 'Child' Torres and that he saw, however, how the 'blues' wasted the situation to continue in second place after a draw against West Ham, although separated from the leadership, yes, by just one point.



The distances are now very short. The duel against Arsenal is undoubtedly the most attractive clash of the day. The 'cañoneros' come from a tie at Middlesbrough before, a disappointing result that keeps them in fifth position, down from Aston Villa.



The big question is the talisman 'red', the scorer Fernando Torres is missing in the last four games of Liverpool, and could return to the team after a drop due to injury. Although the Madrid continues to recover, the club's website states that it is still unclear whether the former Atletico Madrid will play or not this Sunday.



For his part, Arsenal recovered this week to the Croatian-Brazilian striker Eduardo, who contested a match with the template of the reserves on Tuesday to Portsmouth. The attacker wore an injured since last Feb. 23, when a strong entry in the Birmingham City player Martin Taylor left him with a fractured left fibula and a dislocation of the ankle of that leg, whose injuries were serious fears for career the footballer.



The truth is that Liverpool will not save exactly endearing memories of his last three visits to the Emirates, but the spirit of the team for Sunday is a good thing. This was stated by the Spanish goal of 'reds', Pepe Reina, who is confident in the potential of the workforce to stay on top. This time, "is different," according to the doorman, "because we are leaders and it is always easier to play when you are up there. Never have we won there, so I like now is the time to do it," he explained.



Arsenal's season could be described as anodyne



If the 'Gunners' reaped victories against other greats of the Premier, like Manchester United and Chelsea, his triumphs were marred by defeats also talked theoretically inferior to rivals such as Hull City, Stoke City and Fulham.



The Aston Villa, which preserves their fourth position in the overall standings with one point more than Arsenal and a Unless the United continues to live a remarkable campaign in the league, which takes you to visit Upton Park on Saturday for measured at West Ham United.



The situation is most desperate in the environment of Blackburn Rovers, who this week dispensed with the services of Paul Ince and found a replacement in the seniority of Sam Allardyce, the former Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United.



The mission of the new boss is not easy. The club will receive at home to Stoke City, anchored worryingly liguera in the penultimate position with 13 points, one more than the colista West Brom. The Blackburn has not achieved a single victory in eleven games and their 3-0 defeat by the last day before the Wigan (the sixth consecutive) was the straw that filled the glass.



Another interesting compromise will be maintained by the Hull City, the rookie revelation of the season in this division, which since the sixth place in the table will receive at Sunderland, another club which is struggling desperately to leave the area of fall and it seems that rose from head the departure of Roy Keane Irish.



Chelsea will have to wait for Scolari to Monday for a visit to Everton in another attractive match, while Manchester United is currently in Japan in the World Club Championship.

Anelka Critics Strategy Scolari




Nicolas Anelka not agree with the opinion and strategy pelatihnya, LUIZ Felipe Scolari, who will use a Striker. Scolari said he was disappointed after Anelka duet with Didier Drogba less productive.

According to Anelka, Scolari is too fast rate of only one or two games. In addition, two prominent Striker has become imperative at this time in the match if you want to appear aggressive and productive.

Chelsea will make their own pen to Everton on Monday (22/12). That match will be quite heavy although Chelsea win more often. However, Everton are to rise after the win at Manchester City pen.

"I think, using a strategy Striker very strange. Moreover, there are many variations duet in the death of Chelsea. Football is now more use of two Striker. Maybe attack overprize him, but I think the normal course. Previously, the teams have been using the three Striker or four, "he said.

According to Anelka, football has been progress. "Football is now stronger and faster. So, I can not understand why we do not play like that now. And, many other clubs that play with one Striker. I really can not understand," he said.

However, Scolari will likely use a Striker. For, during this Chelsea win more often. In fact, in the last 20 meetings, Everton never win.

This means that there will be sacrificed on the front lines, Anelka or Drogba, Anelka is considering a top club scorer, he might become the first choice. (Kompas/AP)

Sevilla bids farewell to ridiculous





Calcium dying, the stadiums are semivacíos tombs, the catenaccio exaggerated its devastating effect to turn a game in an exercise close to masochism ... Okay, this is true. But chestnuts played with an Italian team remains a serious thing.



To be told what to Seville, incapable of winning even a draw, a series without football, but with guts and emotion. In a scenario that would require hierarchy, the bicampeón of UEFA crashed with a racket and was sacked on the fast track, the competition has led to their greater glory in recent times.



Sevilla was little of that heroic and proud. Just Andres Palop, a colossus that kept his team over the life of that merited. Around it, found only shyness and abandonment among the group of Manolo Jimenez, a coach who continues to prove that the finals are not theirs. Again, their failure was all in a meeting that did not understand halftone. Having lived through it last year with Fenerbahçe in the Champions League and with Barcelona in the Cup, it must be concluded that the defect is long and it has not been corrected.



The batacazo Genoa returns all the doubts that Sevilla had left buried in the Bernabeu, and he returns a vulgar profile team, not greatness. Yesterday, survived with a concept such as Italian-agonist, and in that battle had nothing to scratch with Sampdoria.



Never chose football to overcome an opponent without much chicha, and gave no alternative to the script. Without access to football, he sought to be imposed by physical. The Genoese, of course, not repaired in expenses in its attempt at intimidation. Parties unusual in the game, as the hips and elbows, they acquired an unusual significance for pushing, to paste. Sevilla did not shy away from combat, especially Fazio, who as embistió a bison. Behind him, Maresca was responsible for slowing down and every ball that went wrong on their feet, gymnastics, in which it has been revealed as a teacher. Between them, finally, the match was a pestiño.



At the knife-edge



It came to rest at Sevilla, walking along the edge of the knife like a somnambulist, aware that, little by little, had been falling into the trap of Sampdoria. The first time he left with one-to-door auction, far from clear, but Luis Fabiano converted in half goal. Castellazzi was showcased. The pulse among goalkeepers was most interesting in such a gray evening.



Unless there was other talk. In Cassano, for example. Of unruly, intolerable and genial Cassano, the only ray of light in the darkness of Sampdoria. Cassano's show did not happen yesterday, at least of one type in decline. Cañitos abused with some of David Prieto, first, and then despaired, with a festival of gestures that neither Jim Carrey, for the imprecision of their own. Cassano gave the exact extent of the hardships of Sampdoria, forced to endure a character so crazy to own something light and talent. Walk, Cassano never ceased to be troubling.



Sevilla seemed to understand, at the start of the second half, it needed to offer something more. The signs, however, soon turned to worry. Konka became his second injured. In the warm-up, had broken Squillaci. A little later, Adriano was also going renqueante. By then, over time, Seville dead ... only assisted by the serum of a heroic Palop. Aware that Stuttgart's victory left them out, the Sampdoria fell in seville tornado over the area. In 10 minutes, Palop made three stops to miraculous Belluci, Delvecchio and Sanmarco.



The tragedy was close. And he consummated with the renovation of an old drama, the defense in the balls stopped. Bottinelli finished with a chest kick fault, before the impassivity of the defense Seville. The bicampeón was away, a victim of, again, a perverse sequence: Del Nido berrea ( "Those who do not want to have this opportunity to rectify"), his coach is wrinkle and Sevilla was hit. There are those who do not learn.

Depor and Valencia, before rivals Champions





Valencia and Deportivo finished second in their respective groups of UEFA and the draw on Friday will be paired with teams eliminated from the Champions League. Emery tied for the team in the field of St. Etienne (2-2), while the Galicians won at Nancy (1-0) at Riazor.



Valencia made good on the Saint Etienne in the game where the game was in the first place of Group G. And he did great because the French, with a team that played alternative thinking more in the ordeal that awaits him in his league, reserved up to seven of their regular players. But something must have the UEFA Cup, which inexplicably transforms competition. A team of half dryers, but a warrior, warrior and very respondón.



Valencia, with its stars preserved for the event at the Bernabeu on Saturday, had a lot of attitude. He cots and cots for surrender, he played to win. But the will, spirit, strategy and the apparent strength of the Spaniards went adrift for two serious errors, a chain of defense and another sensational of Guaita.



It's the risk you run when wagering on a rearguard little accustomed to dancing at the same pace and, above, played permanently on the brink of the precipice to put an advanced stage. During the first 20 minutes it worked, marched in line, in unison, leaving the attackers from Saint Etienne in constant offside. However, the security rope ended up bowing. A Maduro, converted to pure central midfielder, he won back Ilan. The Brazilian was planted just before Guaita stung and elegantly.



Four minutes later, Valencia recovered the pulse of the party. Hugo Viana maneuver with a master's degree in inch of the pitch. Portuguese attended Joaquin to give him the pass from death to Morientes. Well-aimed night. Valencia began to dominate with more clarity, partially slowing the momentum of a Saint Etienne highly motivated, commanded by a fast Payet, which left more than stunned to Curro Torres, too lacking in rhythm. When the match cascaded Rest Guaita made one of theirs. Andreu conducted a center without apparent danger and the ball was escurrió to Guaita of hand. Ilan, attentive, not despedidició similar regalazo, and pushed the ball to the 2-1.



Curiously, the villain became a hero in the second part. Know what he told Emery in the shower, but Guaita avoided a defeat that could have been more decisive action with heavy gunfire from a Payet, Mirallas and Machado. The young goalkeeper decided to throw the bolt after the earlier blunder and Saint Etienne did not find the formula. The game became crazy in a correcalles with Tanganyika included with players like Morientes and Benalouane.



Emery decided to burn the ships and threw the bench. Zigic, Miguel and Silva. It was the first that gave birth to both of Valencia with the tie. So eventually the shock even if the whole Spanish push up the final brazenness sigh. An outcome that deprives him of being the first and
Deportivo suffered Pass



Deportivo is debottlenecking in time to keep alive in the UEFA. A goal from Rodolfo Bodipo, to 74 minutes, regained the breath of CORUNESA, which until then were eliminated. In Riazor, the white were unable to intimidate the French Nancy in the first part to forget. Despite having to Valeron, Sergio, Lafita or Guardado on the pitch, Lotina's team lacked ideas in midfield and gave opportunities to the Gauls, who forgave.



The outlook for deportivistas improved after the break, but the goal will be resisted. With the collapse very closely, and risked Lotina played with three strikers to find the classification. The bet was successful after a game in which all the rams and was completed by Bodipo.
