The Emperor will play in the Corinthians

Roma's player Adriano will not be unemployed for a long time. The Emperor will most probably return to his country where he would help the Brazilian soccer club Corinthians. The former Brailian national player already has an agreement with the club.

It is proposed to Adriano the salary of 234 000 euro per month, but in the agreement will also be clauses that will allow Corinthians to keep a huge part of Adriano's salary in case he keeps getting in scandals as he did in most of his career so far.

In several days the president of Corinthians Andrés Sánchez will travel to Rio de Janeiro in order to finalize the transfer of Adriano.

Berbatov and Roony relations compicated?

According to the yellow media, the relations between Berbatov and Roony might have worsened since the last year fenomenal goal scoring couple (they were selected for the best striker couple for season 2009/20010). The reason for these unfortunanet hypothesis is Roony's comment on his back scisors goal. Roony said that a second before he kicked the ball and scored the fenomenal goal, the Bulgarian told him, "What are you doing?!", seeing that the ball would reach him and create another excelent goal oppertunity. Roony how ever scored a fenomenal goal and left his teammates with a smile on his face. Dispite the speculations both Roony and Berbatov appeared happy in their last press appearances. The question is, is such a minor offence make the elite player's relatioship intense? In my opinion, this is once again a stupid speculation, and those who believe it are stupid as well (freedom of speech, haters).

What will follow? I see Manchester United's future bright and colorful - they might not find theirselves in perfect form, but Sir Alex knows how to win!

Djokovic claims Indian Wells

The winner from the Australian Open tennis Grand Slam, Novak Djokovic won the ATP Indian Wells defeating the world number one in the final - Rafael Nadal. The Serbian won the final match in three sets 4/6 6/3 6/2, and replaced Roger Federer on the second place in the ATP rankings. The match started with extreme play and both players showed their high class. In the first set there were 3 breaks, 2 for Nadal and 1 for the Serbian, and in the end Nadal took the first set with 6/4. At the second set the players played with the same style and tactics but this time Djokovic used his opportunities in a better way and took the 2^nd set with 6/3. Nadal was probably shocked by what happened in the 2^nd set and made many unforced errors in the third set allowing the Serbian to take the third set and win the title at Indian Wells. Djokovic is now 2^nd in the ATP rankings, going over Roger Federer, and still away from world number 1 Rafael Nadal.

Berbatov will leave United?

Despite his great appearance in the game against Bolton Wanderers and his 20th goal in the Premiership, Manchester United's forward DImitar Berbatov still haven't sign a new contract with the club. That why some specualtions about possible transfer of the Bulgarian to another clubs appeared in the media.

Alex Ferguson prefered to play with Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney in the last few matches and obviously Berbatov didn't like that. His contract expires in 2012, but it's very possible that he will leave this summer.

The clubs that show their interest for the 30 years old forward are Juventus, Bayern Munich, and Roma,. The Giallorossi have the biggest chance to buy the forward and the rumours are that the price for them will be about 12 million euro. However, this price won't be a problem for Roma, because they will probably sell one of their key players: Daniele De Rossi.

Berb gave the best he could!

Dimitar Berbatov was again the main theme of the island after the Bulgarian marked his 20 th goal in the Premier League this season. The importance of his goal against Bolton two minutes before the end of normal time, is huge and many believe this goal could prove decisive for a record 19 league title to Manchester United. Berba became the first player reached the elevation 20 in this season in the Premier League and continued to lead in the ranking in the goalscorers with two goals to advance Carlos Tevez. Berbatov remains a major favorite for the winner in this ranking by bookmakers. In the context of this curious fact that exactly one year ago Didier Drogba, who at the end of the campaign was top scorer with 29 goals, said his 22 th hit. Since I was at Old Trafford striker with number nine Manchester United on Saturday even scored first in the match, which appears as a reserve.

With goals former captain of the national team has brought several important victories for his team - against Liverpool, Blackburn, Sunderland, Blackpool and Bolton. Until now.

Not a few analysts, according to which Bulgarian is one of the main favorites for Player of the season. And Berbatov's teammates did not fail to recognize the contribution of top scorer, even sparing of praise and egocentric Nani admitted: "He can always score goals and is such a very important player for us. But the secret is that United always play until the last minute. It was against Bolton. "

"Fortunately Berba failed to score. This is a huge win for us and very important three points. It would be nice at the end of the season to become champions, to look back and say" this was a very important day, "said Carrick.

Dimitar did very well. He did everything we wanted from him, and potrudi tight.'s Never easy to come off the bench, but he maintained concentration and bring us goals, "said Mike Filan - assistant to Alex Ferguson.

Amid all this reigns wonder why Berbatov started as a starter in only two of their last nine games of the Reds' in all competitions. And more strange - why Bulgarians still not received a new contract so desires, provided that the end of last season as seven of his teammates have already agreed new contracts with their clubs. But sooner or later it will happen, but more importantly, at this difficult time, Berbatov showed character and do whatever I had.

The match ended with a tie, but Chelsea were the better team. In the 51st minute Mickel could have scored with head, and in the 55th Ramires was close to the goal, but all the chances were wasted. The match was processing and Chelsea were nearer the goal. In the 75th minute Drogba had a great chance, but wasted it. The match ended and Chelsea continued with an aggregate 2-0 for Chelsea. Even though Chelsea couldn’t win, they enjoyed a good game and deserved to go in the quarterfinals.

Real Madrid broke their bad streak for the last six years, by going to the quarter-finals in the Champions League. The team from Madrid was eliminated in the last 16 for the last six years. This year, however, the whites have eliminated their nightmare from last year Olimpique Lyon, which have eliminated Real last year.

Kenny: Europe important to us

The FA Cup semi-final draw means the Reds will almost certainly have to finish fifth in the Barclays Premier League or win the Europa League to guarantee continental football next term.

But, as Liverpool prepare to face Braga tonight, Dalglish said: "European football and this football club are synonymous. We'd love that to continue.

"Other people will look at the danger of being in the Europa League and the strength of the teams they have played.

"Everyone would agree that there are a lot of clubs who have played weakened sides in the Europa League; they qualify through their league position to get there or through success in the cup and then they don't put their strongest team out.

"Maybe Europe is more important to some clubs than it is to others. Maybe if you have a bigger squad of players, you can handle it better.

"To be successful in Europe and domestically, you need a big squad of players. If we sit down and analyse the squad of players we have, you'd say for quality we would be reasonably happy but numerically we'd need more."

Gary Lineker wrote off Berbatov

Gary Lineker wrote off Dimitar Berbatov for player of the year in England. Lineker is the world's top scorer in Mexico in 1986, three times top scorer of English Premier League (1984/85, 1985/86, 1989/90) and Player of the Year for 1985/86.

"Dimitar Berbatov is worth mentioning it because this season has made a lot of goals. But he has no constancy of Tevez is not anywhere like it. If Gareth Bale was not injured, I would choose him for a player of the year. But now my favorite is Tevez, "Lineker wrote in a column in the News of the World.

- Berbatov played better this season - and said an editor at the News of the World Aidan Magee. - Grown up, but his manager Sir Alex Ferguson still does not trust him for big games. Berba would probably prefer to play more often, but this is the situation.

According to Magee Tevez deserves to be player of the year because without it, Man City would be wandering around desperate places for the Champions League despite millions of Abu Dhabi. For 26 games in the Premier League Carlitos has 18 goals out of 45 of the City. Dimitar scored 19 of the 63 United.

On Saturday, Sir Alex again Berbatov has played against Arsenal in the Cup. Red Devils won with 2:0 and qualified in the semifinals.

How far was the hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United

The feud between the great rivals in English football - Liverpool and Manchester United gained hideous dimensions during yesterday's clash between the hopes of both teams from 1/4-final youth FA Cup. The match, which is played in front of more than 10,000 spectators at Anfield, was won by a score of 3:2 after the Reds' behind 0:2. Chief referee showed four red cards as youngsters came to blows in the final minutes, after which the captain of Liverpool Connor Cody left the pitch with broken nose.

Most outrageous of all, was the behavior of the visiting fans who allowed themselves to reckless mockery of the victims of "Hazel" and "Hilzbarou" disrespectful singing songs on two of the greatest football tragedies.

From Old Trafford immediately rushed to condemn the actions of their supporters, three of whom were arrested early intoxicated, other six were moved out of the stadium, a new two were detained because they lit flares in the stands. "To sing such songs about the tragedies of Heysel and Hilzbarou is a disgrace.'ll Get most severely with anyone whose involvement is proven," spokesman promised the Red Devils.

de Gea - the next goalkeeper of Manchester

The administration of Manchester United decided who will be the next goalkeeper of Manchester after Erwin van der Sar retires at the end of the season. According to "Daily Mail" this will be the goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid David de Gea. His age is a huge advantage for him, because he is just 20 years old and choosing him would be a long-term investition. The money needed for the transfer will be about 15 million pounds and if everything goese as it is supposed to, after the end of the season de Gea will be the newest member of the English soccer team.

If you look for a training for making six pack,you can see thousand of different ways to do it. Not all of these trainings work because you can not good looking body without strong diet and often trainings. If you try to make six pack, I will advice you first to make good diet. Person would have good looking stomach muscles when his fats become less than 8%. You can not burn fats only by eating healthy but you need to have work out more than three times per week. In the hot weather would be good, to go out in the park and walk for a hour or in fitness when outside is cold and raining. When you try to burn fats , you should not run faster than 6km/h because the higher speed causes stress to the body and you would not loose weight.

Barca - still the European Football Giant or the referees' favourite team!?!

Barca - the Unbeatable Spanish Team that was the greatest among football clubs this season. Since they lost from Hercules on 11 of September they got so many wins and the game they have shown was so tremendous that teams playing against them were considered "heroes" if they conceded less than 3 goals. In the last 3-4 months there was no european team that would have had any possible chance of getting even a point against them. Real Madrid tried to actually play against them and not to defend the whole match but they were unmercifully beaten with 5-0. That Barca was incapable of losing a single point and was the favourite for the all European trophies.
Now the case have changed - you will see why. In Barca's last games there was still this element of innumerable passes along the pitch and pressure throughout the whole match. But fans begin to see that Barcelona is not capable of scoring as much goals as needed for the win and also registered some bad results in their last matches. Another thing is that the star of the team Messi is not in a very good form and even shows very weak form in his last matches. But a tam like Barca cannot be dependent only on 1 player and they show respectively keep on winning. But fans begin to see that Barca is not the team it used to be and that in order to win their most important matches(ex. Barca - Arsenal, second leg play-off, Result 3-1). It all started in England where Arsenal, despite being totally overplayed by Barca, managed to win against them with 2-1. But 2 week later when the second match between the 2 teams was about to decide which one of the teams will continue to the next round, some very doubtful decisions were made by the referee. Massimo Busacca(the referee) that was dealing with this match(referee number 1 in Europe) was giving all he got for the home tam to win. The top decision was the second yellow card of Van Persie for not hearing his whistle. The the result was 1-1 and Barca was unable to score 2 more goals to continue in the next 30 minutes. But after that decision Barca managed to win with 3-1 and qualify for the next stage. Of coarse there were many speculations about it(especially the one that Van Persie was unable to her the whistle for offside because of the noise of the fans in the stadium which was more then plausible). But Barca survived and it was time for the domestic cup match yesterday against Sevilla. Despice the referee support the final score was 1-1 and Real Madrid finally shortened the distance between the 2 teams up to 5 points. This score was another pure example of how weak Barca is at the moment. And if the fans regard their "undefeatable " form to the matches their win in Primera Division against tams like Sporting Gijon and Almeria then they are in big mistake.

So what do you think - Is it Barca still the unbeatable team or is there a weakness in their form?

Leeds climbed to fifth in the Championship as Neil Kilkenny and Billy Paynter earned a 2-1 win to push Preston a step closer to relegation. Preston had started well at Deepdale as they looked to record a first league win in 14 games, but it was the visitors who opened the scoring through Kilkenny's fine strike.Paynter then doubled the advantage and Iain Hume's goal was not enough to help Preston secure a point.The win moves Leeds above Nottingham Forest and they now lie just three points short of an automatic promotion place.Preston are now 13 points adrift of safety and are in need of a miracle if they are to retain their Championship status.Preston were boosted by the availability of keeper Andy Lonergan and defender Craig Morgan, who missed the draw with Norwich with a stomach bug.They were also able to include on-loan Bolton man Ricardo Gardner while Leeds had their own loan signing, Aston Villa's Barry Bannan, on the bench.Despite their precarious position Preston almost made a dream start as Keith Treacy's ferocious strike from the edge of the Leeds box cannoned back off the crossbar with Kasper Schmeichel well beaten.Hume then fired over from distance as North End raced out of the traps.Striker Chris Brown, who grabbed his first goal of the season against Norwich at the weekend, also went close but Schmeichel was able to gather his header.Leeds captain Jonny Howson blazed over the bar on a rare foray forward for the play-off hopefuls but the hosts continued to look the more likely.Schmeichel made an athletic save to deny a low Eddie Johnson drive before Gradel forced Lonergan to do likewise for Phil Brown's men.Preston may have looked the more likely to grab an opener but they were stunned when the visitors took the lead against the run of play.The ball fell to Kilkenny 20 yards out and he hammered the ball beyond Lonergan into the top right-hand corner in the 29th minute.Paynter's shot was well blocked by Sean St Ledger as Leeds pressed for a second before Brown missed a glorious chance to level eight minutes before the break.Hume's cross found the striker six yards out, but he somehow failed to hit the target.Treacy again went close from distance upon the resumption but Schmeichel was again equal to the task.Simon Grayson's men now looked far more assured and the lively Gradel was twice narrowly off target from the edge of the box, but Paynter's effort a few minutes later was on target and saw Leeds double their advantage in the 57th minute.But Preston showed great spirit to respond just six minutes later.Treacy picked out Hume and the former Barnsley man smashed the ball into the top corner to give the home side hope of salvaging something from the game.Paynter could only hit the bar from close range from Gradel's cross, before the winger himself wasted a good chance by heading straight at Lonergan.Bannan made his debut as a substitute and Preston pushed forward late on in search of a leveller but Leeds held out for the three points.

Liverpool travel to Portugal for for the first leg of their Europa League last-16 clash with Braga on Thursday night. The Reds are unbeaten in Europe this season and they will be looking to keep alive their hopes of going all the way to the final in Dublin.However, Braga will pose a real test for Kenny Dalglish's side having already beaten Celtic and Arsenal in European competition this season.Liverpool are without skipper Steven Gerrard as the key midfielder is struggling with a groin injury.Gerrard played through the pain barrier in last weekend's win over Manchester United and it is feared the Reds talisman could face surgery on the problem.Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen is expected to replace Gerrard in midfield alongside Lucas.Andy Carroll could be set for his European debut for Liverpool after making his long-awaited bow for the club with a late cameo appearance in the 3-1 victory over United last Sunday.However, Carroll is likely to have to content himself with a place on the bench as Dalglish is unwilling to take any risks on his fitness.Luis Suarez is ineligible for Liverpool, meaning David Ngog could come into contention for a starting place.Defensive trio Daniel Agger, Martin Kelly and Fabio Aurelio are all missing through injury, so Danny Wilson could start at left-back with Glen Johnson reverting to his normal right-back spot after being used on the opposite flank in recent weeks.Young reserve team full-backs John Flanagan and Emmanuel Mendy have been included in the squad, while Jonjo Shelvey remains sidelined with a knee injury.Braga go into the game on a high after ending Benfica's unbeaten record last weekend.The home side hope midfielder Alan recovers from a stomach problem in time to face Liverpool.Otherwise, Braga coach Domingos Paciencia has no new injury worries to contend with for his side's first ever meeting with the Anfield outfit.The Reds will come up against a familiar face in the shape of former Newcastle midfielder Hugo Viana.

Sir Alex Ferguson: "Liverpool were better than us!"

Yesterday, Manchester United's coach Alex Ferguson gave his first interview after the 1-2 loss from Chelsea, when he was frustrated because of some serious mistakes of the referee. He talked about the match against Liverpool and the competition in the top of the table in the Premier League.
"We don't have any excuses for the match against Liverpool. We played very bad and we lost the game. Liverpool was the better team and deserved to win. I'm disappointed, because we didn't played high-level football as usual." said Ferguson.
Sir Alex also expressed his opinion that Arsenal is the only other team that has a chance to win the title in England. "Arsene Wenger and his players look very determined this year and their team improved a lot. It's obvious that they'll try to win the title. So definitely we should be aware of Arsenal" concluded Ferguson.
The difference between the two teams at the top of the table is only 3 points and Arsenal hasn't played their last match yet. So nothing's decided yet. I'm sure there will be a great and interesting competition between those teams and a lot of spectacular matches till the end of the season!

Manchester - Liverpool 3:1 -> personal opinion

A complete surprise. A revenge? Yes, Liverpool beat the crap our of Manchester U. What happened with the leaders, with the leading scorerer, with the sir ? Well, it was time for them to lose a game, and maybe it was turn for the ethernal enemies to come back from the death. To make a last ditch efford to improve their condition. And maybe this is the result - the sixth stroke the first with 3 to 1. What is more Man U were pathetic. What is with Nani giving an assist pass to Kayt and Van Der Saar dropping a ball for Kayt once again. Of course Berbatov's luck was horrible, but one man does not make the team (most of the time - remember Berbatov's hattrick in the last match). And what about Chicharito, well he did his job, but it was not on time,.. at all. Thus if he had scorred earlier the game would have gone differently. But enough for the buts, it is the score that the result depends on, not the possible goals and saves. Liverpool played way better then their opponents and deservingly won. The points Manchester United lost might prove curcial - they are ahead only because they have more matches then the second - Arsenal. What is next? Well in football noone know what is next, not even a speciallist like myself. The red devils might still win the championship, they might lose it to Arsenal or to any other team. What is next? Wait and see, birds.

Kuyt Destroyed United

Yesterday Liverpool earned an impressive victory 3-1 against Manchester United at Anfield. All of the three goals were scored by Dirk Kuyt. Luis Suarez also played very well and participated in all goal-scoring combinations; his feints and the following precise pass that enabled Kuyt to score the second goal were one of the most spectacular moments in the match. The derby will also be remembered as the debut of the 35 million pounds striker Andy Carroll for Liverpool, who appeared in the second half and participated in some nice attacks.

On the other hand, the Red Devils showed that total chaos dominates their playing style. The defense was totally inadequate, but the reason for this was probably the absence of the two most important defenders of United: Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. The players that substituted them, Chris Smalling and Wes Brown, were made looking as an amateurs by the Liverpool strikers. The midfielders and the forwards of Man Utd proved also very uneffective and demonstrated full lack of ideas. Their goal was more caused by mistake in the Liverpool's defence rather than a good combination of Man Utd's players.

Man Utd should seriously fix their playing style if the want to win the title. On the other side, Liverpool showed a big improvement and a promising combinations between the players.
