  • Puma Launches Special Italy Team Kit
    2013-03-19 11:37 CET PUMA LAUNCHES SPECIAL ITALY TEAM KIT Coverciano, Italy – PUMA today introduced a special Italy national football team kit for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. At a launch event in Coverciano, the training ground of the national team, PUMA presented the new kit together with Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo of the ‘Squadra Azzurra’ to the press. The kit will be worn on pitch for the first time in this week’s match against the 2013 Confederations Cup hosts Brazil in Geneva. For the first time in PUMA’s history, the replica shirt is made from 100% recycled Polyester, representing a further step in the Sportlifestyle brand’s sustainability strategy. The official Italy team kit to be worn by ‘The Azzurri’ this summer features enhanced moisture management through the use of a fabric made of recycled polyester and Cocona®, which is an activated carbon made from coconut shells. This mixture of materials provides a superior level of comfort and performance. The new design features a new striking look, including an embossed Power graphic that fades from bold to light. The visual design, evolved from PUMA’s 2012 Power range, emphasises the physical aspects of a player even more prominently. A fluorescent blue piping on the collar and around the font adds a new unique appeal to the shirt. Additional details include the ‘Tricolore’ coloured cuffs and inserts at the bottom of the shirt that represent the national flag of Italy. Giorgio Chiellini, the Italian International attended the launch event and commented, “It is a great moment to wear a new Italian national team kit for the first time on the pitch.

  • The Downfall of Real Madrid Side-Lining Keylor Navas 1. The
    The Downfall of Real Madrid Side-lining Keylor Navas Because of his sharp reflexes he was key player on their more triumphant campaigns. The unjustifiable reason behind him being on the bench is that they are persistent on giving Thibaut Courtois more and more second chances, despite his failure to replicate Keylor Navas' key saves and lead Real Madrid to the silverware that is needed to bring the team back to what it once was. 1. The Constant Search For a Striker That Fits Despite buying who was arguably the Premier League’s best striker, Eden Hazard, they cannot find a striker that fits or replaces, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Ronaldo. The replacement, Hazard, has been dubbed the second worst Galactico by Marca, after the biggest flop in history, Michael Owen. 2. Confidence With the departure of Ronaldo and Zidane prior to last season the team’s morale has gone down and the once great team has started to look fragile. Then the moment that all Real Madrid fans were waiting for happened. Zidane came back but now with the lack of budget to go into depth after the signing of the flop Eden Hazard means that the deluded men behind Los Blanco’s think that Zidane, one of the most successful mangers in the history of football should leave the club as they have nothing else to blame it on So, what does everybody have to say about it? • 'Success made us lose our intensity': Real Madrid president Florentino Perez claims their own triumphs is the reason behind the current downfall • And without any European success this season and the last have been.
