Super Mario smashes it

BLOG_TH — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:35:19 GMT

Sometimes you witness the precise moment a promising talent moves up several gears into the major league.

For the man they call Super Mario, it happened in just 48 minutes. Last night, Balotelli scored two, created one and won the penalty for another. He even had to be dragged away from taking the spot kick by the regular penalty taker. Balotelli is not lacking confidence.

Watch the video to see how Balotelli hones his touch and dribbling.

Will his skills and growing confidence be enough to book him a ticket to South Africa?

Cesc Fabregas: Total Control

BLOG_TH — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 09:34:33 GMT

At the heart of the game stands the playmaker. The one whose first touch is already the start of the second. Who creates space out of chaos. Who sees runs no-one else sees or imagines. The one to whom precision is the norm and the spectacular expected. The one the other players look back to when their shot hits the net.

Watch Cesc take total control.

"Maradona? He's one of a kind. Nobody is like Maradona, certainly not me."

Sergio Aguero has a style of his own. He's a pure striker, a straight-forward-forward, a young pro that sees nothing in front of him but the goal.
