Challenging history

BLOG_MY — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 05:49:47 GMT

Barcelona and Inter completed the first round at the Giuseppe Meazza. The Italians are ahead but the blue and reds haven’t had the last say yet. They’ve demonstrated time and time again that a champion never gives up. Now is the time to push themselves.

90 minutes separate one of them from the grand finals. Can Inter hold on to the lead with the help of Sneijder, Maicon and Stankovic? Or will Barcelona triumph again with Zlatan, Pedro and Alves’s bullet train speed?

Barca’s players are already sharpening their claws. If there is one thing the team has shown on innumerable occasions, it’s that in 90 minutes, a whole chapter of football history can be written.

In Camp Nou, only one result can appear on the board. Victory.

Write the future.

Cristiano’s Adversary

BLOG_MY — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:16:34 GMT

Your teammates can correct your positioning after a move. The coach can tell you how you can improve. Perhaps someone will whisper in your ear to tell you where to aim your free kick.

But there is only one person able to take you to the highest level. Someone you must beat every day. Yourself.

Cristiano is the first to challenge Cristiano. The first to self-impose his greatest lesson: "If you think you’re perfect already, then you never will be."

Ten Years Of Deadly Accuracy - Luis Figo: 24.08.06

nikesingpore — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 01:43:32 GMT

Before the Italian league begins, there is a face-off between the winners of the league and the cup - a curtain-raiser, a statement of intent.

In 2006, Luis Figo, a recent signing for Inter Milan, made his point loud and clear.

With the game locked at 3-3 and heading toward penalties, Figo stepped up and whipped a 30-yard free kick into the left corner.

The keeper was beaten. The cup was Inter's. Figo's season was off and running.

Was Figo's strike the greatest T90 goal ever?

King of Old Trafford

His first four goal haul.

Another world class performance.

Wayne Rooney's been in deadly form so far this term.

Focused and firing on all cylinders, this is his best season yet.

Can he break the 30 league goal barrier?

Captain's Example

nikesingpore — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 02:51:45 GMT

Driving force; inspiration; captain fantastic: Cesc Fabregas is many things to Arsenal football club.

Perhaps the finest exponent of Arsene Wenger's nurturing approach to the beautiful game, Cesc returned to inspire Arsenal to a hard-fought victory that put the Gunners on the verge of the Premier League summit.

After scoring the game's opener, and masterminding the second, the influential Spaniard struck his 10th league goal of an already impressive season.

A convincing win on Wednesday night will see Arsenal top the table; a befitting throne for the Premier League's new king.

Cesc's on course for his best scoring season. Can he break the 15 goal barrier?

Make The Difference

BLOG_TH — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:19:12 GMT

You could stop at enough.
Just another name on the teamsheet.
Happy just to turn up.

Or you could become their worst nightmare.

The one who turns a game in an instant.
Sees the pass no-one else sees.
Turns desperate defence into decisive attack.

Be the one that they worry about days before kick-off.
Who blurs the line between hate and respect.
Who can never be stopped,
Only feared.

Freezing conditions. Heaviest snowfall in 18 yrs. Balls inflated to 12.5 psi exactly. Arsene had a juggle & some one-touches w Paul Johnson. "It’s good, it’s lively." The keepers... Almunia worried. "Not good for goalkeepers. Again!" Sorry Manuel. (Great for fans though.)

Team session. Wilshere : "Yeah, it feels good on the touch."

Shooting session: Ball flight and rotation were true. Some spectacular long-range shots. Get ready Premier League – spectacular goals are coming.

Accuracy contest: all players on 16 metre line. Who can land the ball in the centre circle? Puyol took it. Who can hit the cross bar, repeatedly? Iniesta walked away with this one. They say he always does. I like to think the ball helped. Massip: "There's no wobble, the ball goes straight at its target."

Shooting session: led by Assistant Coach Joan Barbara Mata: "The ball bends nicely when you shoot." Next stop Arsenal.
