The Wanderers had the better of the opening half with opportunities coming through Labinot Haliti and Aaron Mooy. The arrival of Shinji Ono on to the pitch in the 60th minute gave the Wanderers faithful another reason to chant as the Japanese star made an immediate impact with a number of quality touches and an early shot on goal that was pushed wide of the mark. The closing stages of the match were played with the Wanderers on the back foot in defence but the Wanderers held tight and the match finished with a 0-0 result.

FC BARCELONA Futbol Club Barcelona also known as FC Barcelona and familiarly as Barça, is a professional football club, based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Catalan footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto "Més que un club" (More than a club). It is the world's second-richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €398 million (2011). The unique feature of the club is that unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.

  • A Powerful Midfielder
    渠成集 A Powerful Midfi elder 5D Shane Chung Kaka (Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite) is known as the youngest and the most powerful offensive football player in the world. He is now playing for Spanish La Liga Club, Real Madrid and the Brazilian National Team. Kaka’s quick rise to fame also made his name appear on a list of the world’s 100 most infl uential people in Time Magazine. However, Kaka’s success has not been easy. Kaka was born in 1982 in Brazil. He began his football career at the age of eight. At the age of fifteen, he decided to become a football player. Unluckily, at the age of eighteen, he suffered a spine fracture as a result of a swimming pool accident, which made him nearly paralyzed. Fortunately, he recovered quickly and picked up football playing again. Kaka joined AC Milan in 2003. He was voted the best midfielder of the Champions League the next year. Many people said that 2007 was the most successful and signifi cant year in Kaka’s football career so far. He was named the FIFPro World Player of the year. Two years later, Kaka signed for Real Madrid and aimed to continue his career at a higher level. Kaka is now one of the famous young stars in world football. Although Kaka has a handsome face, it has never driven him away from his football career. “I’m glad when people say I’m handsome, but I prefer to be the best in the game.” he says. To me, Kaka is a perfect football player, not because of his attractive face, but because of his humble personality as well as his outstanding performance on the football fi eld.
