Beckham closing in on full fitness

shahnawaz — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:02:52 +0000

David Beckham is very close to full fitness after recovering from an Achilles injury. The experienced midfielder was ruled out of the World Cup after he tore his left Achilles in March while playing for AC Milan during a loan spell at the club. He is trying to make a comeback for LA Galaxy on 11th September in a match against Columbus Crew. David Beckham told the official website of La Galaxy “The doctors’ original (return) date was October 1, but I always kind of said I want to be ready before then.
“I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hopefully will play in part of the game here against Columbus. I’ll be on the bench, and hopefully I’ll get on the field for 15-20 minutes. That’s what I’m looking at.”

However, Beckham was included in the management team and was part of the English set up in South Africa. After a disastrous World Cup showing by England, manager Fabio Capello sensationally announced that Beckham is too old to feature in the future competitive games for England. He received severe criticism on this, since then he has changed his stance and has said that the door is open for Beckham to play for the national side. Beckham never thought of retirement, he said.

“When you first have an injury like this and realize how serious an injury it is, you worry that you’re not going to get back to playing top-flight soccer. But that probably was in my head for only about 10 seconds.”

However, Beckham must prove his fitness in order to make a comeback to the national side. He has a month to prove his fitness to manager Fabio Capello ahead of England’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro.

Real Madrid in Real Danger

shahnawaz — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:41:23 +0000

Things were looking very positive for Real Madrid before start of the season. However, they have changed dramatically and Madrid are in real danger of falling behind Barcelona in earlier stages of the Primera Liga. They are already two points behind Barcelona and the injury list is increasing as well. Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe, Gago and Raul Albiol are the major first team injuries at the moment. Moreover, German duo of Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil are facing difficulties in adapting to Spanish League. However, Mourinho is confident that they will adapt soon and surely they will be able to perform well after adapting to Spanish conditions. Many experts believe that Madrid are short of strikers at their disposal and Mourinho has admitted it. He said

“As coaches we’re always unsatisfied, we always want more and for that reason I’m with those who ask for new signings,”

“Even if each person does it in his own way, some more introverted, others more aggressive.

“At Madrid I wanted another striker, Higuain and Benzema are not enough.

Suddenly the special one is facing serious criticism by local press after drawing the first game of the season against Real Mallorca but he is confident of getting things right after the international break.

“This is Madrid and you can’t change it. If you can’t live with this pressure it’s best not to accept (the job),”

“At this stage of my career it was the best time for such an experience.

“After Chelsea and Inter Milan, after 10 years of success and big clubs, after a demanding league such as Italy, I have the right age and maturity.

“I have to be prepared tactically for the possibility that we lose the ball and we get jeered. And then find some solutions to open up closed defences.”

No one has any doubt in the abilities of Joseph Mourinho and surely he will be able to deliver the required results after getting first team players back into the first team. Moreover, Barcelona play maker Andreas Iniesta has also said that Real Madrid will be a greater force under Mourniho this season.

“The reality is that Madrid have gained a great coach,”. “He’s demonstrated his capabilities, his titles speak for themselves. Aside from the coach Madrid’s players will always be competitive.

“It’s a healthy rivalry like last season, Madrid were fighting until the last day to win the league. They have always fought for the league and won many titles as a result. They are our main rivals in order to win the league.”

Who will be the top scorer of the premier league this season?

Adeel — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 05:28:55 +0000

Every season we have surprising names in the race for the golden boot in premier league. Last season, Darren Bent was the surprise name as he scored 24 league goals for a mid table team Sunderland. Didier Drogba won the golden boot last season scoring 29 goals for Chelsea. However, the new season has started so let’s have a look on the top 5 candidates for the golden boot this season.

Didier Drogba:
No one can rule out this man for the golden boot. He has started the season in top form scoring 4 goals in 3 matches. So, we can say that the powerful forward is determined to get another golden boot as well as guiding Chelsea to second successive premier league title.

Fernando Torres:
Liverpool’s number 9 Fernando Torres is always a threat for the opposing team even if he is not in the top form. The star striker is currently healing from a series of injuries and if he can stay fit for 30 games then surely he will be the winner of the golden boot this season.

Wayne Rooney:
Wayne Rooney is a goal scoring machine. We all know that. However, the young striker is out of form at the moment but there is no doubt that he will regain his best form and will start to score goals for Manchester United.

Carlos Tevez:
Versatile forward Carlos Tevez is also one of the top candidates to clinch golden boot this season. Many experts have question marks over his goal scoring ability but this season with the likes of David Silva and Adam Johnson on wings, Carlos Tevez is expected to score a lot of goals.

Robin Van Persie:
Remember him? Yes, he is Robin Van Persie. Unfortunately, he remained injured from December 2009 to the end of the season but he is back now and raring to go. He was scoring for fun last season before he got a serious injury which sidelined him for the remainder of the season. If Arsenal wants to wins the title then the form of this striker is absolutely crucial for them.
