Two years on from their Champion’s League victory, it is clear Inter Milan have learned their lesson
Posted on 23 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Follow @GhellaiMahmoud On May 22nd, 2010 a smiling Massimo Moratti had one arm draped over his head coach Jose Mourinho, the man who just delivered the title Moratti craved; the UEFA Champion’s League. It ended a 45 year wait, one that Moratti’s father delivered back in 1965. In the postgame conference, Mourinho announced he would resign to work with Real Madrid and he has enjoyed more succ...

Real Madrid Spotlight: Marcelo
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
Marcelo Vieira da Silva Júnior, or “Marcelo” is a 22 year old Brazilian National who has had a fantastic year for Real this year. He likes to push up the left side as either a back or winger and has been vital to Madrid’s success. I’ll be honest in saying that I had some doubts about the young player’s role at the beginning of the year. Moreover, I’d become even more ner...

REAL MADRID CORNER: LOS BLANCOS DESTROY HERCULES AND AWAIT LYON ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 16, 2011
Posted on 13 Mar 2011 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
Madrid had a practice session (it was an actual match) against Hercules in the Bernabeau on Saturday evening. Mourinho changed up his lineup and started Arbeloa, Albiol, Diarra, and Granero instead of featuring his usual lineup of Pepe, Khedira, Carvalho and Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid was still down 6 points in the league table going into the match while one of their main stars, Kaka was...

Some Kind of Big Joke: The Five Managers that Deserved to Win the “Manager of the Decade” award before Arsene Wenger.
Posted on 26 Jan 2011 by Ciccio Sabetti.
It seems almost inevitable that people won’t always get what they deserve. A perfect example is Wesley Sneijder; he was the most important player in the 09/10 season for both Inter Milan, the team that won the treble, and the Netherlands, the runner up at the World Cup, and he wasn’t even considered in the last three candidates to win the FIFA Ballon D’Or. If that wasn’t bad enough, wel...

Posted on 17 Dec 2010 by Allan Jiang.
Select comments Arsenal v Barcelona is without a doubt the marquee fixture of the round. Barcelona are masters of playing the beautiful game, their brand of football is cavalier like, successful and perhaps the closest version to total football. Like Barcelona, Arsenal has a heavy emphasis on producing a beautiful game however are less successful, less efficient and more fragile in defence. Rub...

CRISTIANO RONALDO’S BRILLIANCE IS TOO MUCH FOR LOS CHE
Posted on 8 Dec 2010 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
Angel DiMaria (Argentine) had a very nice showing last Saturday at home against Valencia in Madrid's 2-0 victory Madrid badly needed this win for their morale. After Jose Mourinho sat silently last week on the Madrid bench watching his teams and supporters hopes and dreams fade away, we all knew there was no way he could let the next one get away. Right? You better believe it. And ...

Barcelona are the World’s Best, and it ain’t Close
Posted on 29 Nov 2010 by Robert Bode.
As a Real Madrid fan, I was hoping for a draw today in the Camp Nou. A win would have been a pleasant surprise, despite hearing plenty of experts tipping Los Blancos for victory. Deep down however, I couldn't shake this feeling that Barcelona were still the world's best club, despite Real's undefeated record in all competitions under Jose Mourinho. While Madrid have improved under the “Sp...

An analysis of Rafael Benitez
Posted on 14 Nov 2010 by Allan Jiang.
Managing Tenerife, Valencia and Liverpool, Benitiez won eight trophies in a span of six years (2000-2006) and what started off as a meteoric rise from modest obscurity has since stagnated into an inquiry probing his competency as a top flight manager. The most treasured moment of Benitez’s reign at Liverpool was the 2005 Champions League triumph against Milan overcoming the loss of Kewell aft...

A juxtaposition of Antonio Cassano and Mario Balotelli
Posted on 10 Nov 2010 by Allan Jiang.
John Wooden, perhaps the greatest sports manager of the past century, once said a player who makes a team great is much more valuable than a great player. This notion of being a team player is not in the rationale of Italian footballers, Antonio Cassano and Mario Balotelli. Two cassanatas who are selfish and have an inability to be selfless for the sake of the team. Two immensely talented footb...
