Chelsea - Manchester United preview

Chelsea come into this game full of confidence and none more so than their principle strike-weapon Didier Drogba. Defenders know exactly what they are up against when Drogba is playing - pure power and pace. The problem is being able to deal with it. Drogba will look to physically impose himself on the young defender from the start - so look out for him trying to bully Evans in the air and using his body strength to turn the youngster if he gets too tight. Playing high up the pitch he is a master at holding the ball up before bringing others into play - be it Nicholas Anelka or a breaking midfielder such as Ballack or Lampard. A much improved finisher since he arrived at Stamford Bridge he rarely needs more than one chance to get on the score sheet - and obviously is a major threat at set-pieces with his height. If Drogba can un-nerve the Irishman early on then expect him to score and for Chelsea to come out on top. According to Sir Alex Ferguson young defender Jonny Evans is the future of Manchester United. Having forged a reputation in the United youth and reserve teams he now seems to have his manager's confidence and that in itself must give him huge belief. Despite his young age he has a very calm and composed manner and goes about his game with the minimum of fuss, refusing to be overawed by his opponent regardless of who it is. He also has a good footballing brain - allowing him to snuff out danger before it arrives with a well timed interception or a good piece of positioning.He is strong, has a decent turn of pace and is comfortable on the ball - but is prone to the odd lapse in concentration. His challenge will be to stand up to the physical challenge presented by Drogba, and to stay switched on for the full 90 minutes. If he can do that and perform to his maximum then he could frustrate the big striker and help his side to a memorable result.

Real Madrid : Richest Club in the World

The global economic standing of English clubs has been hit by the Sterling's slide against the Euro. According to the new figures, Real Madrid remain the richest club in world football as ranked by annual revenues, closely followed by Manchester United. Having won the Premier League and Champions League in 2008, United would have overhauled the Spaniards at the top of the Money League had it not been for the depreciation of the pound. And were it not for the effects of the fluctuation in the exchange rate, there would be nine English clubs in the top 20 rather than the seven that feature now. It has been suggested that the devaluation of the pound could even affect the ability of the top English clubs to attract the biggest names to the Premier League. Real Madrid's 4% revenue growth in 2007-08 is more modest than in recent years, the club has now doubled its revenues since 2002 and enjoys a lead of €41m [£36.8m] over Manchester United. Real Madrid increased revenue by €15m to take their total to €366m. Manchester United's performances on the pitch in 2007-08 resulted in a £45m (21%) increase to £257m. Third-placed Barcelona grew its revenue by €19m (6%) to €309m.

EPL:Manchester United - Liverpool goals

Liverpool beat Manchester United at Old Trafford on what was a largely disappointing day for the Champions. Ronaldo opened the scoring with a penalty but goals from Torres within five minutes leveled things and 3 more second half goals meant Liverpool had cut United's lead at the top to 4 points with a game in hand for the Red devils. Vidic saw red after a foul on Gerrard.

Jose Mourinho to Old Trafford????

Jose Mourinho has made no secret of his wish to become the manager of Manchester United after Sir Alex steps down. Right from the day United were drawn against Inter, these kinds of talks began. And Jose on his part kept saying that he wouldn't rule out a return to English football. With that statement one thing was clear, he certainly would not be going back to Chelsea. Arsenal wont suit Jose, so it was between Manchester United and Liverpool. And it seemed logical that Jose would take the hot seat after Fergie. Just when the Champions League game was nearing, the Special One said that all the top managers would be considered for the job at Old Trafford after Fergie leaves and that he was one among the Top managers. And a few days earlier, he said in a lighter vein that he would be the manager of Manchester United in 20 years, referring to the hunger in Sir Alex to continue despite his age. But it was a clear reminder that he wants be at the hot seat. And what made me believe this was his reaction after Inter's defeat to United, Jose said United will win all the five titles. It comes a man who wants to take the job and why not when the team has got some fantastic young talent who can rule the footballing world for some time. Jose, for sure would be welcome at Old Trafford but is Manchester United the right club for him???? only time will tell.

UEFA Champions League 2009:Liverpool - Real Madrid goals

Liverpool outplayed and Out classed Real Madrid with a sublime display of football. Real Madrid on the other hand were pathetic, showed no willingness to fight. They were simply not up for it against a team that was tactically strong, something missing from Real Madrid. And were it not for the excellence of Iker Casillas in Madrid's goal the Spanish giants could have been embarrassed further. Its been five years since Real progressed past the first knock out round, something to worry about for a team that has won the cup a record nine times.

Serie A:Beckham to stay at AC Milan

Its finally over. The tug of war between LA Galaxy and AC Milan over David Beckham has finally ended after a deal was reached between the clubs. According to the deal, Beckham will stay in Italy until the summer before heading back to the Galaxy for the remainder of the MLS campaign. Beckham will then rejoin Milan in the autumn. "It allows me to play for AC Milan and the LA Galaxy in the same year, and at the same time to continue my commitment to develop soccer in the United States, which is something I am passionate about", Beckham reportedly said. He also confirmed that his family will remain in LA. This is a huge boost for Beckham as he tries to make it to the 2010 FIFA world cup and playing with Milan is certainly a massive thing for him. Had he gone back to LA Galaxy, he could have said goodbye to his International dreams as the standard of football is nowhere near European Leagues. Had the deal not happened, Becks would have been in America on 9th March. As it stays, we can get to see Beckham in AC Milan colors this season.

UEFA Champions League 2009: Round of 16 - Second leg preview

The first knockout stage of UEFA Champions League is nearing its climax. After the first leg, most of the matches are still in balance apart from a few like Bayern - Sporting. The performance of few of the big clubs in the group stages were poor and they could manage only second positions in their groups, which had lead to the fixtures we had got for the Round of 16. When one sees the fixtures, they might get a feeling that each of these fixtures should have been the finals. But only 8 teams can go through to the quarterfinals. Liverpool, who play particularly well in the Champions League have got a lead against Real Madrid and they are at Anfield. So I can't see them losing against Real. Manchester United battered Inter Milan at the San Siro but could not get a goal but it was a totally different team that played in Milan with Rooney on the bench for that. And at Old Trafford they will play their normal 4-4-2 formation and they are real favourites to progress. Chelsea have 1-0 lead going to Turin against Juventus. That's a small lead considering Juve's home form so the match will be real tight one. Arsenal too have a 1-0 lead going to Rome but AS Roma will be heavily dependent on Totti. If he plays Arsenal will have some serious problems. This match too is a tight one. I fancy Arsenal as this is the only trophy that they are left to play for this season and they will be fired up. Barcelona have a crucial away goal against Lyon and at Camp Nou you would expect them to walk over Lyon. Sporting were buried at Lisbon and I would not be surprised if Bayern play a second string team at Munich as overturning a 0-5 deficit is near impossible for the Portugese club.
