Alexander Poulton | 144 pages | 01 Apr 2006 | Overtime Books | 9780973768190 | English | Vernon, Canada Worlds Greatest Soccer Players : Todays Hottest Superstars PDF Book He could yet play an important role for an elite team, but sadly, I think that the Kaka of is gone forever. Sign in. Lionel Messi has already been mentioned a lot in this article, even before we've reached him. Also, in , ESPN recognized him as the fourth most famous athlete in the world. Though a feared goalscorer, she is wildly underappreciated for how her movement creates space and chances for others. And therein lies his main weakness. She posted a whopping 12 clean sheets en route to 16 wins with longtime club Olympique Lyonnais this calendar year. What to know: has seen Neymar re-establish himself as one of the best players on the planet. Harry Kane Forward. Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic freely admits that he did not expect Bruno Fernandes to adapt so quickly to the Premier League. Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 comes from Portugal and currently plays as the winger or striker in the Italian championship for the Juventus club. Though there have been subtle hints of a decline like his injuries earlier in the year , there is still no reason for a consummate pro like Xavi to suddenly burn out. Alves has comfortably outshined his Inter counterpart this year to prove himself as the best right back in the world. Harder also recorded five goals and two assists through eight appearances for Denmark in , leading the Red and White to an impressive record on the year and helping them to secure their spot in the UEFA Women's EURO. Still, the Australian international and Matildas captain decided to try her luck in another top women's soccer league when she signed with Chelsea late last year. Even still, he contributed seven goals and 15 assists to the Bavarians' cause, and created more chances than any other player in the Champions League. His impressive concentration and reflexes are vital for a Barcelona keeper, since they will be spectators for the majority of any given match. But whatever the virtues of both Dutchmen, it usually gets trumped by their atrocious injury record. He is a family man and he has been married to Daniela Ospina since The year-old, whose unique style of play blurs the lines between a No. Milan has been forever ageing and in need of a revamp, but Silva is one of the few cornerstones with whom they can build around. Really, if he can carry on at a relatively high level for the next four years and bag a few more trophies for club and country, we might be talking top all time for him. Teams: Wales, Real Madrid. FYI — When Sneijder was a Real Madrid player in , he actually prevented his younger brother Rodney from joining the club due to his desire for the player to prove himself at Ajax. The striker scored a staggering 55 goals in 47 games during Bayern Munich 's treble-winning campaign, finishing as top scorer in the Bundesliga , the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League. Ignazio Abate, 33, is a defender who is as gorgeous as he is athletic. And in truth, had Ivicia Olic not been ruled out for the season through injury, those accusations would probably have continued to this day. A leading-edge research firm focused on digital transformation. Football is the world's most popular and widely played sport. Goal Cavani has bagged an impressive 33 goals in all competitions. But just watching 90 minutes of Haaland in a Dortmund shirt will tell you otherwise. Kompany has truly had a fantastic season and brings the best out of his defensive partner as well. In spite of their struggles, Miedema still shone. But Di Maria has proven himself to be an extremely resourceful player out wide, always able to beat his man, pick out a pass or get a good ball in from the flanks. Antoine Griezmann Forward, Midfielder. When it comes to off the ball movement and the ability to be in the right place at the right time, Asisat Oshoala is impeccable. What to know: Tottenham has had its up-and-downs over the past few seasons, however Son Heung-min has been a constant and unwavering source of quality for Jose Mourinho's side. He also managed 51 goals and 6 assists in 43 games in all competitions, including two in the DFB Pokal final that Bayern recently won. Ibra would only accept a move to teams that have enough in place so that his signing virtually guarantees a domestic title. He is strong in the air as well as having the instincts and quick reactions that make him an absolute menace in the penalty box. This was the most spectacular version of Messi, banging in goals after waltzing past multiple defenders and regularly leaving us speechless. Having been restricted to just 15 appearances in Ligue 1 due to injury he still managed 13 goals in another title-winning campaign , the forward returned to full fitness — and his dazzling best — in the Champions League knockout stage. Worlds Greatest Soccer Players : Todays Hottest Superstars Writer The brains behind this rapidly rising Porto side. Well, for those in the corridors of power at Paris Saint-Germain, the difference between greatness and superstardom is the Champions League. Haaland certainly has a lot of time to improve and will only go on to score more goals and play for bigger clubs, but this season is not simply a breakout year. His impressive concentration and reflexes are vital for a Barcelona keeper, since they will be spectators for the majority of any given match. There really is nothing to second guess with him—what you see is what you get. What to know: Georginio Wijnaldum may rarely be the show stopper for Liverpool, but he's the Premier League champion's silent pacemaker. Despite her evident prowess in the attacking third, the USWNT has primarily employed Dunn as a left back since her first call-up back in After a global vote involving 44 editions, Goal proudly presents its list of the best 25 male and best 25 female footballers on the planet for He has become frustratingly inconsistent for many Inter fans, and has generally not looked the same. Pique is, to put it simply, the most complete center back in world football today, and for many a season. David de Gea Goalkeeper. Only one — Amel Majri. Radamel Falcao is a major distraction on the pitch. Villa has been racking up goals for his entire career, averaging better than a goal every other game. They are peaking in the sport and see little signs of stopping anytime soon. Team number: 6 Spain , 8 Barcelona. Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 comes from Portugal and currently plays as the winger or striker in the Italian championship for the Juventus club. Barnaby Lane and Meredith Cash. When Wendie Renard decides to hang up her boots, her legacy at Lyon will be immense — potentially even unbeatable. Conte says that the victory against Juventus gives them "self-believe". He has the qualities to be anything he wants to be! Worlds Greatest Soccer Players : Todays Hottest Superstars Reviews It is easy to understand why. Eight assists in the league put the year-old joint-fourth in that category, with her role in creating chances and building up play just as important for her team as her goals are. Mohamed Salah Some people were arguing last season that Mohamed Salah's strike-rate was slowing down and yet, in July, he became the second-fastest player in Premier League history to reach goal involvements. He has intellectual goals too; Morsy told The Telegraph that he plans on earning a degree in psychology when he moves on from soccer. Free subscriber-exclusive audiobook! Close icon Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. Even better, Iniesta has been probably the most memorably clutch player in recent years. Teams: Holland, Bayern Munich. He missed the whole of December through injury, however the Norwegian hitman did more than enough good work in the 11 months prior to make the cut for this list. His passing and discipline are crucial to maintain the attacking efforts of the more swashbuckling style of some of his teammates. What to know: 36 games, 40 goals, a domestic treble, and a Champions League winner's medal — no player in world football has enjoyed a better than Robert Lewandowski. Which is a shame, because he is a truly fantastic player. But Ribery at times this season has put in some outstanding performances, showing signs of the diminutive maverick who dazzled us with his dribbling and vision. Eden Hazard Midfielder. This, more than anything, typifies his longevity and ranking among the great goalkeepers of our era. That is by no fault of his own, however. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification. After Liverpool sealed their first league title in 30 years, the Premier League picked out five crucial wins during the Reds' record-breaking season. She posted a whopping 12 clean sheets en route to 16 wins with longtime club Olympique Lyonnais this calendar year. What to know: Rapid, strong, tall and deadly in front of goal, Erling Braut Haaland is the most exciting young player in world football. Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic was substituted in both games around the hour mark after two lethargic, ineffective performances. Some of the soccer players enjoy huge fame outside the field because of their style and good looks.

  • E-JOURNAL N°7 – March/April 2017
    e-JOURNAL n°7 – March/April 2017 The word from… The « OL ANG’ELLES » team This month of March was highlighted by a qualification for the semi-final of the French Cup (against Hénin-Beaumont) and for the semi-final of the Champions League. Moreover, the 11th French Champion title has also gotten much nearer. Even if much – almost everything, in fact – remains to be done, the hope for a new triple is still very much alive. The Wolfsburg team, which was said to be “ahead” of Lyon, was a very strong opponent. It was probably one of the only teams in Europe capable of holding a whole game against OL. But was it really the best team on the field during the return game ? Indeed, we are so used to seeing OL way stronger than its opponents, especially as far as ball possession is concerned, that when an opposing team is – almost – as strong as Lyon, we have sometimes a slightly biased view of what happens. Even if Ralf KELLERMANN is a very good coach, he still “lost” twice in the last two years against Gérard PRÊCHEUR's team. The latter has succeeded – with his coaching staff – in bringing his extremely impressive squad in good form and good health at the right time. Even if some were worried by the size and quality of the squad, we could witness the cohesion and solidarity of the players. News… Wendie RENARD under contract at OL until 2022 In her 11th year with the club, Wendie RENARD was having interrogations about her future: she was thinking about playing in the English Championship, Manchester City and Chelsea were doing everything they could to attract her.

THE VALUE OF TOP FOOTBALL PLAYERS The 2013 summer transfer window saw Gareth Bale become the most expensive football player in the world, when he left Tottenham Hotspur for Real Madrid – for a record fee of more than £80m. An analysis of player valuations conducted by Frontier suggests that – even at the time of the deal – Bale’s footballing skills were worth just £66m. So did Real Madrid pay too much for its latest “Galáctico” – or wasn’t it all about the game? Football has long dominated the sports pages of European newspapers, but these days it can increasingly be found in the business pages as well. Europe’s largest clubs are collectively worth billions. Some, such as Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, are now publicly-listed companies. The performance – or underperformance – of star signings can send clubs zinging up and down the financial charts as well as the football leagues. 2 Frontier Economics | February 2014 But how confident can clubs be that they are getting their money’s worth, when they sign expensive new players? To help address this question, Frontier has developed an economic model that estimates the value of players on the basis of their proven football skills, i.e. their performance so far. The model uses data collected from all transfers over £1m in the English Premier League and Spain’s La Liga – two of Europe’s richest leagues – over the past few seasons.
