  • FIFA World Cup 2018
    JOSE RAMIREZ BARRETO Published on 17.6.18 Final-minute goals a common feature of almost all games so far A ready but cautious Brazil will begin their 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign against Switzerland on Sunday. Memories of that heart breaking 1-7 loss to Germany cannot have been easy to overcome but it’s something they have to put aside or it will not leave much room for an easy run through the group stage. Their preparations have gone to plan, with the focus more on tactical training as many of the players were coming off tough club seasons. Under coach Tite, the team has seen a turnaround, and what could have been a difficult road to Russia turned out to be a straightforward one. It’s really great to see the way the boys have responded to Tite. They are pushing themselves and working hard, and responsibly, to reach top form. They have carried their qualification form into the warm-ups over the last few weeks, and are displaying the right attitude and desire. And this means that fans are now again excited about their team. The defence of the team has proved to be unquestionable under Tite with a clean sheet in 16 games out of 21 games. From the middle to the front the performance of the new version of the “magic square”, formed by Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, Willian and Philippe Coutinho, has been indisputable. This tactic has been productive for the attack and it is the individual quality of the players that has brought the results.

  • Messi Et Ronaldo, Les Premiers Flops Du Mondial
    Sport / Dossiers sportifs L’argentine et le Portugal éliminés dès les huitièmes de finale Messi et Ronaldo, les premiers flops du Mondial © D. R. Les deux joueurs ont peut-être perdu le Ballon d’or cette saison, une distinction qu’ils s’échangent depuis 2008, date de la première consécration de Cristiano Ronaldo. Lionel Messi et Cristiano Ronaldo ne se quittent jamais. Les deux meilleurs joueurs de la planète foot sont arrivés ensemble en Russie pour la Coupe du monde et vont devoir la quitter ensemble. Il n’y aura pas de choc entre quintuples Ballons d’or en quart de finale. L’Argentin était le premier à dire adieu à la compétition suite à un match à rebondissements face à la France, mais quelques heures après le Portugais l’avait rejoint en s’inclinant devant une rugueuse équipe uruguayenne. Les deux joueurs ont certainement perdu le Ballon d’or cette saison, une distinction qu’ils s’échangent depuis 2008, date de la première consécration de Cristiano Ronaldo. Depuis, le trophée changeait de main entre les deux joueurs. Messi s’est approprié les quatre suivants (2009, 2010, 2011 et 2012), repris par CR7 qui s’est adjugé deux consécutifs (2013, 2014), puis rebelote pour la Pulga (2015), avant que le Portugais ne remporte les deux derniers (2016, 2017). Une chose est sûre, le futur Ballon d’or ne sera ni Messi ni Ronaldo même si, en 2010, malgré une élimination prématurée en Coupe du monde, Messi avait remporté la distinction individuelle devant Iniesta et Xavi, champions du monde, ou encore en 2014, lorsque Cristiano Ronaldo avait bien soulevé le trophée en dépit de la victoire de l’Allemagne.

  • FC Shakhtar Annual Report Season 2009|10
    www.shakhtar.com FC Shakhtar Annual Report season 2009|10 The season 2009/2010 turned out to be interesting and eventful. I think the fans will remember it for many years to come. WE HAVE CONSTRUCTED DONBASS ARENA – THE STADIUM IS OF A HIGH EUROPEAN STANDARD. IT MEETS THE AIMS AND AMBITIONS OF OUR CLUB. Donbass Arena was constructed for Shakhtar to play there and for the spectators to eagerly come and support their team. I think we managed to achieve this. Before the opening of Donbass Arena I had supposed that 30–35 thousand spectators were a real number for an ordinary game of the Ukrainian Championship. The first year of the stadium’s operation proved it. Shakhtar won the gold medals of 2009/2010 Ukrainian Championship. It is the fifth champion’s title of our team. This time Shakhtar starts the most prestigious European club tournament from the group stage. The Club’s management and fans are looking forward to the successful performance of our team. I’d also like to say that we are very grateful to the head coach, Mircea Lucescu, for the team he’s created. Over the last 6 years, we’ve won 4 championship titles, the UEFA Cup, and we are showing spectacular football of high European standard. Today we all believe in our team and this means for We BELIEVE in our team us a lot more than just words. with our whole HEARTS We believe in our team with our whole hearts and know, whoever our team plays against, we may expect victory.
