After the dismissal of Paco Gonzalez and the exodus of his team with him, the leading radio station in Spain was in the difficult situation of having to renovate one of its most important after losing to the professionals who had led with great success for eighteen.

The ports, which carried the tandem formed by Paco unparalleled González y Pepe Domingo Castaño, Javier Hoyos bet then Juanma Ortega as director and as an animator. The result therefore was that the 'Carrusel Deportivo', once numbered more listeners than all its competitors combined, has seen 'Game Time' (González program and Chestnut in the COPE) has surpassed one million listeners in just nine months, at less than 500,000 of the SER program.

Forest introduces six changes for the friendlies against the U.S. and Venezuela

This weekend turns red. The Spanish team will walk their overseas star in two friendlies the U.S. and Venezuela face. Once finished all club competitions, this pair of meetings are a real punishment for most players called.

The first friendly will be played in the U.S., particularly in the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Norfolk, Massachusetts, on Saturday 4 June. This odyssey collecting has its surreal point in the schedule of this meeting: Local 4:41 p.m., 10:41 p.m. they will be in Spain. Do not ask me why, because I have no idea, I guess something will have to do with the interests of the channel that broadcasts to the United States. Team Yankee is one of only two have been combined to defeat the Red in a competitive match since Euro (included). It was in the Confederations Cup, June 2009, the other being Switzerland in the first World Cup match.

Paul Scholes retires Football: Manchester United is preparing a revolution in the locker room

"I'm not a man of many words, but I can honestly say that playing football is everything I wanted. Have a long and successful career at Manchester United has been a great honor. "

Paul Scholes Man Utd former footballer

English football has risen with some sad news. It is one of the last symbols coming out of the quarry at Old Trafford. The great Scholes hangs up his boots after 17 seasons playing and winning . 2 European Cups, 9 leagues, 3 FA Cup, 1 Intercontinental, 1 Mundialito Club, 2 Cups and 5 of the Super League in England. All of them next to Ferguson. It has therefore had a special appreciation for the Scot, who opened the doors to continue in the club.

"Guardiola to Qatar? Maybe in 2013

Pep Guardiola has won everything. League Champions, Cup, World Club, etc. Barcelona coach has nothing left to prove in front of the club and the team could leave FC Barcelona at the end of his contract in 2012. Some people believe that their future could be on the bench for the selection of Qatar.

Guardiola has a contract with Barcelona until the end of the season 2011 / 2012. Year after year, the coach will renew its links with the FC Barcelona-based team performance, and medals. However, the next could be the last season in front of Barcelona Guardiola, because it is rumored that at the end, the coach would take a sabbatical.

And then? Qatari football federation wants to lead his chosen and although a priori seem a little ridiculous that a coach Guardiola size to sit on the bench for a team that never qualified for a World Cup, we should not forget Pep ended his playing career in Qatar (he played in the ranks of Al-Ahli between 2003 and 2005) and has been on good terms with the top leaders of soccer in this country, so much so that one side was visible the promotion of Qatar as the venue for the World 2022.

Premier League: Tevez (Manchester City) / Berbatov (Manchester United)

In the English league was tied at the top, as Berbatov and Tevez scored 21 goals each. There is the curiosity that none of them have finished the season as a starter: Berbatov lost his job for Chicharito Hernández and The Apache has had problems with Mancini, which could mean leaving the club. Berbatov has had a very irregular season, as his entire career at Old Trafford, and is that much of his goals have come in days really inspired as the party in which he scored five goals at Blackburn or hat-tricks against Liverpool and Birmingham . Tevez, who finally could go to the Copa America after a meeting with Batista, has been more regular, but has played 300 minutes more than the Bulgarian.

Barcelona, ​​has been the best of the Champions League?

The Barcelona and is a champion of the Champions League. Last Saturday, 3 to 1 beat Manchester United at Wembley and won the continental trophy as in 2009. At the end of the season, do you think has been a champion right?

History repeats itself: as in 2009, Manchester United must surrender to the power of FC Barcelona football. Guardiola's team beat Ferguson to the excellent present, but has been the best team in the Champions League?

For many it is a question that admits no doubt and say yes, without hesitation. But it is fair to other teams that have done a great tournament in the Champions League as Manchester United or the same, especially Raul Schalke 04, who through hard work and effort he managed to get in the top four of the tournament.

The Real Madrid of Mourinho had his own chapter in European competition since sitting out in the hands of their arch rival in the midst of controversy and intense string of games which rescued the title of the Copa del Rey.

For you, dear reader, has been the Bacerlona the best team in the Champions 2010 / 2011?

Final Champions 2011, FC Barcelona - Manchester United: the 1x1 of a legendary team

Football becomes et li gifts which

Slogan T-shirt commemorating the 2011 Champions worn by the staff of Barça

Football gives you back what you give. That is the slogan chosen by FC Barcelona and the company that equips, Nike, for the shirt commemorating the victory in the UEFA Champions League 2010/2011. A slogan at the level of football displayed the last three years, including the first six titles, three league titles in a row, two champions ... also about issues that go beyond mere football, as this theme takes on another dimension if we repair the image Eric Abidal of lifting the championship trophy in Europe. Here is a look at the players in the grand final last night at Wembely.

Víctor Valdés

The four-time winner of the Trofeo Zamora is a big game goalie, and has demonstrated on many occasions. But last night was just work. He was brave to leave the only error cuffs of his back shortly after the match starts. She could do nothing against the unstoppable shot from Rooney in the equalizer.

Final Champions 2011, FC Barcelona - Manchester United: The Pep Team is crowned with a memorable party

The Pep Team and is in its own right, a team legend. With reference to the Dream Team, Pep Guardiola's pupils returned to Wembley for cycling history: 19 years ago FC Barcelona won their first European Cup under the command of Johan Cruyff, yesterday raised its fourth Orejona, third in the past six years, second in the last three, since the Santpedor arrived at the club bench life.

In 1992 came to Wembley to end a historical urgency, an imperative, yesterday, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Puyol, Valdés, etc, etc, have initialed a great cycle that has guaranteed a place in the altar of legendary teams , next to Madrid DiStefano, Ajax of Cruyff, Beckenbauer Bayern, AC Milan of Van Basten ... There's no doubt also discuss in a few years of this club.

The FC Barcelona is European Champion 2011!

Overwhelming. This has shown the FC Barcelona's match against Manchester United, to be crowned Champion of Champions League 2011. The fourth European Cup history FC Barcelona, ​​which also will not be the last of these players. Because the club has once again demonstrated that 100% of its capacity, today still has no rival. Of course this does not guarantee victory. You can always have accidents like the Inter last year. But ultimately, imposing the logic, and logic says that Pep Guardiola is one of the best teams in history.

I will not go into details in this post about what has been the final. As of tomorrow will in-depth analysis, but recognize that much use.

Daniel Iglesias: I go with a cliché: if it's always difficult to forecast, in this game is almost impossible. Why? Because the unknowns are many. There are doubts in the alignments (what Guardiola will bring defense? What midfielder Ferguson will bring?) And no doubt on the fitness of the players. I try to visualize the game in my head, and I find it harder than ever. I imagine a Barça dominating, but with problems affect a defense that is probably the best today. And I imagine a robe Manchester dangerous when at the counter, with their frantic outputs band and play Valencia and Nani, and great understanding between Rooney and Chicharito. Anyway, I will not be a spoilsport. I will say that after 90 minutes the match will go 1-1 and win the club either in overtime or shootout.

Manchester United is not "ManU": History of a tragedy and the blasphemous perpetual equivocation

There are several ways of referring to the club that runs Sir Alex Ferguson. Manchester United. United to dry. Man Utd, if you prefer short. Or even Red Devils. There is another very widespread among supporters and media. Call "ManU" to Manchester United. A term that many journalists, some others not so much media, it repeated without the slightest suspicion. Even some supporters, too young or just uninformed. But not all. Many others are sick of hearing the "ManU" is in the Champions League final against Barca . "ManU" win the Premier League and phrases of the style.

What you will have ever read. Indeed. Sure I shall return to read more than once or twice. Especially now that Manchester, with the club, get all the attention for the match at Wembley. Just a couple of weeks I made ​​the same disregard for those fans upset to hear and read the same . Unwittingly or unknowingly missed the memory of an institution I admire. For his way of doing things and the geniuses who have defended the ball. Thanks to a reader comment I noticed something I was unaware, like so many other reports speak of United. This post is intended to clarify a dark episode, very unpleasant, in the history of Old Trafford. Why much of the fans feel the team that is not sympathetic "ManU" but the Manchester United. This is the story of Duncan Edwards and the tragedy of Munich .

Final Champions 2011, FC Barcelona - Manchester United: In two years some things have changed

And that soccer knows no pauses, renew or die. Barcelona and Manchester United to repeat the final two years ago speaks volumes to how well they are doing things for the Nou Camp and Old Trafford, but Ferguson Guardiola both know perfectly well that this does not live or titles won past successes. Two years have passed since that final in Rome where Barcelona won 2-0 on the Red Devils, two seasons in which both teams have renewed, leaving from a consolidated basis, its doctrines and templates. No big changes, but some significant.

On that occasion, Guardiola's team was writing his name in history through a 2009 where he won every title possible. Assumed the top and perfecting a long way in the club through the years. For its part, the Manchester came as absolute ruler of England, where he won his third consecutive title.

Final Champions League 2011: FC Barcelona - Manchester United: a game for players with hunger (II)

We continue this review to players who reach the final of the Champions League 2010/11 with a special motivation. This time we give way to the players of FC Barcelona.

Andrés Iniesta

Andres Iniesta will play their third Champions League final. Since that first in Paris to this day has become a promise that was missing a step to be one of the most admired players in the world. He has won all major tournaments you can win a European player, including the Euro and World Cup. But his relationship with the finals of the Champions are not what they say idyllic.

In 2006 did not come out as a starter in the Stade de France: Rijkaard chose to Van Bommel ... But the Dutch coach turned to Andresito at halftime to find the comeback that finally got the club during the second half. However, Iniesta has always outweighed the substitution than once provided that entered the field. Three years later, in Rome, the Fuentealbulla played totally infiltrated and knowing that his injury was going to get worse if you or another during the game. This is what happened: at half the physios told not occurred to him a shot at goal if I did not want to risk jeopardizing his career.

Final Champions League 2011: FC Barcelona - Man United: a game for players with hunger (I)

Unfailingly true: the finals are not played, you win. Although one has a rather romantic vision of football and likes putting computers in the media interest, not only in the end, it is undeniable that the finals are different. In any case I say they should change the way you play in a final in relation to what has been done throughout the tournament, what I mean is that a final is a special game: ninety minutes to life-threatening . And as the scope to compensate for error is so short, the variables and constraints are multiplied. Every little detail, however trivial, can mean the difference between winning and losing, between glory or succumb to failure.

Once the referee's whistle starts the battle, no matter what fans yell more, or which coach has declaimed the best pep talk. The small details that mark the evolution of the major parties are exclusive property of the players. In any aspect may be the point that makes a difference: the concentration that it achieves, the motivation with which it comes, the feeling you have while playing the anthem, the personal mood ... but above all, hunger. The hunger that has the player, that desire to win, to improve himself, to bring everything you have and more for the good of the team and, why not say it, the desire to become the star that makes a difference . Within two teams that will face this Saturday at Wembley to become European champion a number of players who, for various reasons, come into the game with a special motivation.

Pirlo fired a decade of success rossonero

It is one of those players that create passion for football, a benchmark of Italian football and one of the players who remain in the memory of the fans of Milan, a club where only the chosen ones are remembered. Ten years after the arrival of a player who was yet to explode, Andrea Pirlo and today is no team player who has seen his best years as a player and where he achieved his greatest successes. Genietto di Piero is, at 32 years new Juventus where he taught classes at the center of the field during the next three seasons.

His final season was not easy because of their long inclusion in the lower part of the club. Milan In a reconstruction, with new draft Allegri hand, the Rossoneri have gone ahead without the presence of his metronome. After completing the contract, the renewal offered Galliani was down: one more year and cut its juicy salary in half, while the offer from Juventus was presented as irresistible. It has been an amicable departure away from controversy: Milan did not want to renew at any price a player who had dropped their services and had increased the number of injuries, Pirlo and he wanted a new adventure.

The Madrid dismisses Jorge Valdano

It's one of those stories that are expected and that, despite the noise they can get to do, no surprise. Florentino Perez has appeared before the media to officially announce that Jorge Valdano longer general sports director of Real Madrid. The cause is the same one that sounds strange Argentine name mentioned next to the charge, which is that everyone knows that such functions belong quite some time with Jose Mourinho. With this decision, the Portuguese coach was out again with his and give shows once again that the place sports club their name is imprinted white.

O Valdano or Mourinho. Their relationship had deteriorated to such an extent that was already non-existent as the same Valdano said to confirm that no longer held any discussions. Mourinho's accusation of being alone defending the club and the difference of opinions about the hackneyed subject of nine were the triggers of such enmity. Following a few words of Valdano, the Luso asked leave to travel with the team and that does not appear in training or in the locker room at the games played in the Bernabeu. But the most compelling reason is undoubtedly the empowerment of Mourinho in the sporting arena, where Valdano already had little to say.

Valdano, thrown out of Real Madrid

Jorge Valdano is stepping down as general manager of Real Madrid. Florentino Perez announced the dismissal of Argentine after throughout the season was made ​​this notorious confrontation with coach Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho had said long ago that it would continue at Real Madrid, where Jorge Valdano would step aside. The incompatibility between Mourinho and Florentino Valdano was to take action on the matter and the president is decided by the Portuguese, opting for a "new club organization in the English style."

Club president on Mourinho said: "If we bet he is always in the future because we want to be with us for many years. This new organization will work if you opt for a powerful coach. " Meanwhile, the Argentine said: "The departure of Jorge Valdano is painful. We have come a long way together. My feelings can not be an excuse for not meeting what I believe is my obligation. "

Florentino finally denied rumors that there have been contacts with Fernando Hierro and Figo to occupy the post of Valdano and the powers of the general direction until now in charge of Argentina will be in the hands of sports management headed by José Luis Sánchez .

Final Champions 2011, FC Barcelona - Manchester United: Barça against history and volcanoes

FC Barcelona will travel to London tonight. On Thursday planned to do but better safe. Grímsvötn the eruption in Iceland, has complicated the situation at airports. Guardiola and all its players have no trouble being at Wembley. But journalists and fans together. The ash cloud advances and threatening to ground many Catalans followers. To move forward, would close the British airspace. People who wait to travel on Saturday lost the final. Barca have a concern again in extra time Champions key. Again because history repeats itself. Last season he suffered a freak of nature. Eyjafjallajökull . That volcano, Iceland also complicating the semifinals against Mourinho . Mourinho to Inter.

A blows against nature

What we approaching a person is the farewell, when eventually disbanded because the feeling and the trial and do not want to go together, and the wall thumping violence that nature has raised between her and us. "(Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher XIX century)

Now is the time that the athletic so feared even though, deep down, they knew inevitable. That day Agüero decided to leave the club in search of a better life. From that time to see virtually an adopted son who gave so much joy in such a short time and that the mattress, considering their parents, brothers, believed to enjoy forever. These minutes of internal assimilation that confirms their worst fears a devastating. Knowing that it is natural. One shakes his head in silence, instinctively shrinks face, distressed, as you read: "You already are part of my identity and a way of understanding football (...) A hug for everyone. I love you. " And then start thinking that everything can be worse. That Argentine boy who loves can go to the eternal rival. And do not care, if the Madrid always wins ... then there is still a shortage of inner cry for his dribbling, his goals, his magic ...

Aguero wants to leave Atletico Madrid

Sergio Aguero track calls to leave. The Kun expressed his desire to leave Atletico Madrid. What will be your fate? There are many voices that suggest that Argentina will be playing for Real Madrid next season.

Kun Will you leave the Bernabeu by the Calderon? Installed long rumored that Aguero has a future in the team merengue. Diego Maradona himself (father of Aguero and former coach of the Argentine national team striker) Kun said he sees playing for Real Madrid.

Alley takes the road to the White House

Real Madrid keeps moving chips into the next season where he again will tackle the assault on all the titles at stake. Two new players have arrived for this endeavor: the Turkish players Sahin and Altintop , which may well conform with Özil the trio of the crescent. Yesterday's third signing was confirmed although more than a contract is a return, Joseph Lane, who leaves Espanyol after three seasons to return to the club that was formed at lower levels. Madrid has paid for his services five million euros to the club in Barcelona.

The evolution of and former Espanyol player, 24, is certain to have played this season, his confirmation, 37 league games where he scored six goals and made seven assists. At Cornell has been one of the mainstays that have helped the team to complete an extraordinary Pochettino first round. Center forward in its infancy, Alley has adapted his game to the band in recent years to become a new kind of end: those who are constantly looking diagonal towards the center. Alley right-handed and can play for both bands, but more usually plays in the lane left-handed.

In the midst of debate over whether it was Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo who received more fouls, was Luis Garcia, Espanyol striker, who came to the fore to remember that it was Alley who bore such an honor. The new Real Madrid player is not a scorer but can improve in this area. In the last three seasons has scored two, two and six goals away from the 21 who succeeded in his last season in Castile. But it is a player who generates a constant danger and that is a nightmare behind rival.

El Kun Aguero to Manchester City?

Sergio Aguero's future is still in its infancy. Although Atletico Madrid refuses to let go of the talented Argentine player, many theories are still weaving around him. Rumors of a possible departure to another club was revived after the game against Mallorca, it held no goals scored and refused to testify against the press.

Subsequently, Kun said held no respect for the opponent, who struggled to stay in first division ... but the truth is that this response is not silenced the speculation. El gaucho said he is happy at Atletico, but the truth is that the joint claim as Real Madrid (at the express request of Mourinho), Chelsea and Manchester City, Inter and AC Milan of Italy.

On Monday, Agüero (with his father and his agent) met with leaders Atletico in the Vicente Calderon Stadium offices for about half an hour. Allegedly talked about his hypothetical issues pass. On leaving the sports arena, the car did not stop nor paid any statement to reporters, it was observed to act serious footballer.

Earlier, Atletico directors claimed that the offer from Real Madrid did not really exist, which can not be guaranteed ... what is rumored is the happy meeting was to finalize details of the interest shown by Manchester City, which would be the privileged equipment do with the services of former Independent.

The wealthy Premier League club would have more trouble paying high termination clause in the Argentine, as 45 million euros. For now rushed forward trials, better to wait for time to give us the right or wrong.

Ronaldinho Flamengo, the first leader of the Brasileirão 2011

Brazil will in the coming years the core of the sports universe. In 2013 host the Confederations Cup, a prelude to the ultimate football showpiece, the World Championship to be held also on Brazilian soil in 2014. Moreover, if little, Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Olympic Games. For all this, it seems a good time to come to know what is happening there. And Football Notes have decided on, keep abreast of the Brasileirão, whose 2011 edition has just started and not completed until December.

The first day of the Brazilian Championship, then, was held this past weekend (Saturday 21 and Sunday, May 22) and after it is Flamengo which leads the standings. rubro-black team clearly won by 4 Avai FC -0 . Ronaldinho, who is active in the ranks of Flamengo, he played the whole game and scored the second goal. He also left details such as the tunnel was Robinho (Robson Michael Signorini). He looked happy Gaúcho, every so warmly celebrating with his teammates. Otherwise opened the scoring as an Argentine, Dario El Pollo Botinelli and closed it Thiago Neves and Diego Mauricio, a boy who has not attained the age of 20.

Ancelotti dismisses Chelsea: Abramovich after a Champions League coach

"Wanted trainer. Good remuneration. " The very crazy billionaire Abramovich seeks a replacement for Carlo Ancelotti. Do not have it easy. The Italian can boast of having won the Champions League twice. He did this in Milan, two seasons before moving to London. Ferguson recently said he did not understand the criticism of a technician with the honors of Carlo. "Someone like him should not be questioned." Fergie says, who knows football a long time: 25 seasons and 46 titles. Headings. That's what you have missed the man who brought the first doublet at Stamford Bridge. In his first season and won FA Premier Cup. This, no nothing. Second in the league to ten points behind Manchester United, executioners of the blues in Europe. Ancelotti executioners.

Racing for the season is not over

The ball has stopped rolling, the stadium has turned off their lights and costumes has closed its doors. The lawn of Sardinero expected and in turn for the next season but has not yet finalized Racing season despite the boots and the goals are not actors, but the fax and copiers for offices. Once completed in the field the permanency goal , the Racing still plays his future at first because of defaults on their players but Ali and no one seems determined to resolve the problems being experienced by the team Santander.

Racing is now a question. At a time when movements begin to be decided ahead of next season, any hint of planning seems a utopia. There are several fronts that are open in the offices of The Golf Sport: defaults to the players, outstanding last season and that could amount to fourteen million, have been reported by the staff and administration could mean the decline. On the other hand, the capital increase has not been closed (two missing million) and could end with the club mired in the dreaded Insolvency Act. And last but not least, some deadlines are still pending with the IRS.

A well deserved holiday for Rayo Vallecano

Finally in Vallecas have something to celebrate. Something important, too. He left the family Ruiz Mateos, a joy for many, leaving the Lightning in debt, though. And now, finally, reached the long-awaited promotion to the First Division. In a year marked by economic problems, we must remember that players are still owed ​​money and who have gone months without pay, the staff has been successful in sports. With two days, beat Xerez (3-0) and certified its return to the top after eight years. It is the sixth that achieved promotion to Rayo Vallecano in its history.

The professionalism of these players has been made clear. Have endured to the end to give the fans a great joy. It can be seen in the video. Franjirrojos Nearly ten thousand followers focused on the Source of the Assembly of Madrid to celebrate the rise along with the players. It was a celebration of nature, as they send the charges: he was overcome and go to celebrate. So, everything was very intense. Just after defeating the whole xerecista, Ray template moved a bus service to the source. The mass was euphoric. The players, too. And they held together, literally. With nothing to mediate between the fans and players. Before, on the lawn, had already improvised a party.

The end of the league: ups and downs

He finished the Spanish League football and is defined as the outlook for next season. Three teams have dropped, two have reached the first division and is still in dispute since the four-team second division.

Almeria and was doomed to decline for some time. The Hercules and Deportivo were with him have ended in the penultimate and antepenultimate position in the standings.

Meanwhile, the Betis back to the first division after finishing pointer in the Liga Adelante. El Rayo Vallecano also rises at first and will be the fourth team to Madrid next season (along with Real Madrid, Atletico and Getafe). This is the first time in history this has happened.

There is still a vacancy in the first division for the winner of the promotion that will compete in Granada (who finished third), Elche (who finished fifth), Celtic (sixth) and Valladolid (seventh). Barcelona B finished in fourth place, but does not dispute the promotion to be an affiliate of a team that already campaigning in the first division.

Declines in First: Darwin, Cases and whatever happens is bad Levante

This day has 6 names. Deportivo, Getafe, Mallorca, Osasuna, Real Sociedad and Zaragoza. These are the teams that put their lives today. Stay in First or Second fall. Survive another year in the top or left behind. It is the Natural Selection of the species. Darwin's theory made football. Zaragoza is the worst it has. Is bound to win it or yes to the Levant. The granota however not play anything. If they win, the Zaragoza think wrong. If they lose, the others involved in the descent think wrong. The table Levante is doomed to suspect what he does.

Silvia, the new bid from Atletico to its right side

We do not know if the leaders Atletico Madrid and know who the new coach for the 2011-2012 season. Although it would be ideal, especially as players continue to arrive then can not account for the next coach.
The last confirmed his signing for the whole of the Ribera del Manzanares was Silvio Manuel Pereira, side Sporting Braga. This is a 23 year old who has already played with the first Portuguese-hand of Carlos Queiroz and then also to Paulo Bento, who had a good season in his club (team that was fourth Champions Liga Sagres on Europe League runner-up ) and, apparently, was being closely followed by several big clubs in Portugal.

In principle, Sílvio should not have too much trouble to get to the right of the Vicente Calderon, regardless of who is responsible for leading the team next season, it is a position that carries Atletico problems for some time. Now I Ujfalusi takes, and Czech has complied with sobriety, but not his natural position and it shows. And James is simply not eligible to play for a club that says aspire to play the Champions League again. Silvio is a winger who likes to join the attack, however, had a quiet performance last Wednesday, in the final of the Europa League, which suffered greatly with Hulk. He played left back, which also plays correctly, but Atletico is a priori well covered that lane. Its price, not definitive, may be around 5 million euros.

Kaka says it will continue at Real Madrid

Much has been said Kaka's future: that if you go to Chelsea, to St. Paul, Inter or Milan. However, the Brazilian player said his future is in the same place as always: at Real Madrid.

Kaka has not had a good 2010: Global performance in South Africa was conditioned by a series of physical ailments and missed the start of the season with injuries. In 2011 the situation has not been better, but has returned to play, not to the level it once had in Milan and we know we will not contest the Copa America to Brazil.

So much is talked about the possibility that Real Madrid do without it, since its value is quite high, in order to bring new recruits. However, the player himself said he plans to stay in the set Merengue.

"I have a good relationship with the Sao Paulo and Milan, but I want to stay at Real Madrid, that's my will," said Kaka. "Until they're all me, I'm told that I will continue here and that makes me very happy," ruled the Brazilian player.

Oda unfair to small Buddha: Iván de la Peña will retire

There is nothing more mystical than a shaven head. Here are the figures of Buddha or the type of ads Lottery . That bald shared fate. O Iván De la Peña. That bald shared goals. For the Small Buddha was one of those players lit. A visionary of the pass. Ivan de la Pena jumped the lawn was a blessing for the devoted football fan. It was a story too. Especially in the last two seasons with Espanyol. 31 minutes is all he has played this season. The injuries have left him out. First the pitch and now football. This morning the Spaniard midfielder tearfully announced a bitter decision. The end of an unjust, that he knows little.

Real Madrid confirmed the signing of Altintop. A wildcard for Mourinho

Real Madrid has confirmed on their website the signing of Hamit Altintop for the next four seasons. Incorporation was sung for over a week, and that is the request of Jose Mourinho. And first of all, we must recognize that the Portuguese coach at least know what you want. Not err in different player profiles for the same position. The ideas are clear and scarves. The speed with which they are closing the first additions are clear sign that Mourinho knows well and long you need, and want to fetch it as soon as possible to prepare for next season.

However, what do you think about his move? Through the accounts of Facebook and Twitter Football Notes have made ​​a first survey, and most often repeated word is "unnecessary." Personally I think a signing catalogaría while not as essential, it would do it right. It is clear that there is a name that excites, but we agree that this template does not lack stars, but several parts to assist in the collective glow.

Europe League Final 2011: Cabeza de Falcao, walk Helton, potion of a champion Porto

Last night at Football Notes live a great experience. We narrated live final of the 2011 Europa League , the party faced two Portuguese teams: Porto vs. SC Braga. Porto, who started as the clear favorite, got the win thanks to a goal by Colombian Falcao the stroke of half: in the 44th minute took a center fellow Guarín measured from the right to head the ball in a impeccable and psychological score a goal, ultimately, would be final. Just after the restart, the Braga had its best chance in the entire match: a duel between Helton Mossoró and the Blue Dragons goalkeeper saved with his right leg . In fact there was no more. The game was intense at times, but a suckling pig in general. Neither the Port was the other day, nor convinced when Braga was pushed below the scoreboard.

We leave this regard, several strokes of friends who followed us live through our Twitter and joined our broadcast with their comments throughout the game. Juampiespinosa: "Very Light at the Braga, will you take to Paulão and all were inconsequential "Alfonsogranja:" dreadful end, that happens when a team of the moment, as Braga, sneak into the final ... "or Mohomalaga" grand narrative of the game, perhaps the best in the final, follow by twitter .... " These comments speak for themselves in a final that was pretty boring overall. The match started and died practically a blow from a ball clean, no midfield wanted or knew to stop the ball, but all were limited to playing long; Oporto and only at the beginning, it was with some sense looking at Hulk, who seemed superhuman.

Why not play Tevez in Argentina's national team

It is almost a certainty that Carlos Tevez will not play the Copa America. Manchester City striker would not be taken into account by the Argentina coach, Sergio Batista, who claims only football reasons to marginalize Carlitos, but is there something else behind Tevez did not call for the Argentina team?

Apparently so. It would be a purely football. Is that the Argentine Football Association (AFA), the waters are divided between those who support and those who do not support their present and eternal president Julio Grondona. After the departure of Maradona selected last summer, Tevez was expressed through the media, surprised by the decision that the AFA did not renew the technician and that he had witnessed as Grondona Maradona had promised to continue in front of selected after elimination in South Africa 2010.

Tevez's words did not go unnoticed and I began to punish marginalizing the selection, putting the situation in terms of dichotomy: Maradona for and against Grondona and vice versa. Batista, Grondona man, making clear position of the opposing side to that found Tevez and that makes the Premier League scorer in the Copa America runs out. Similar is the situation of Sergio Aguero, set out in the Atletico Madrid and intended by Mourinho for Real Madrid, who "suffers" the karma of being the son of Maradona.

However, Batista is a priori is the trump card to silence any rumors: Lionel Messi. The Cheche relies heavily on the Flea can be demonstrated in the Argentine national team wasted all the talent when he plays for Barcelona and is thus non-background calls for Tevez and Aguero. However, we must bear in mind that Messi has not been able to unlock the potential of playing for Argentina in official competitions and, in contrast, Tevez is "the player of the people."

It should also be borne in mind that Argentina is the host of the Copa America and that if the performance or the results are adverse to the host team, certainly not soon hear from the stands the chant of "Carliiiitos, Carliiitos .... "

You, dear reader, what conclusions drawn from this situation? Cree on allegations that Batista is all a "football incompatibility" between the coach style game aims and Tevez? Or is it possible that behind the Argentine coach said there are other interests? You have the floor.

Porto bring the meeting as it usually always explained they say is the successor to Mourinho. Same for Sporting Braga, Villas Boas who hold to an attitude very similar to that shown during the campaign. It has suffered two league clashes.

Mourinho dreams of having a Agüero

Jose Mourinho has a dream that becomes Sergio Aguero played for Real Madrid. The Portuguese coach wants to Argentina as a reinforcement for the season 2011/2012. Benzema could leave instead.

The season is determined for Real Madrid, so Jose Mourinho is already thinking about next semester. After securing the signings of Sahin, Altintop and Alley, the coach wants to have the Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero to reinforce the attack.

The arrival of the Argentinian is conditional upon leaving Benzema and Kaka (or perhaps both) and is the Frenchman who has every chance of leaving the group merengue: Mourinho has warned the club to listen to offers for the French because he would pay good money for a player coach is not essential.

Aguero is receptive to listen to offers, but the buyout clause of his contract are high and that could be an obstacle for the player to arrive at Real Madrid. For his part, merengue group is evaluating the possibility of giving other players in exchange as Negredo, Granero, Parejo and Callejón.

Barca leaves the skin for better or for worse

We let the skin. "Ens hi deixarem the pell" . That was the old motto and a boat that was played on all out against Inter of Mourinho. That campaign, born of the European need to trace at all costs, was history. The slogan now is "the value of valors tenir." The value of having values. The new message with the Nike accompanying the submission of the kit 2011/2012. FC Barcelona yesterday left the skin, this year, to teach the next season . A skin that fascinates and horrifies in equal measure. But as I said last night its president, Sandro Rosell, "Do not leave anyone indifferent, as everything that happens at the club."

The staging should not lead to indifference. Barca introduced the controversial entity even with full honors. In a ceremony held at 22:00 at night in the bowels of the Nou Camp. Specifically, in the hall gate 54 which provides access to the stadium with a roof made of silver screen. There was shown a video made ​​by Nike that could well be a David Lynch film. Very spectacular, with 3D effects and colors. But as eccentric and difficult to interpret as an American film director. At the end of the projection, there was light and appeared kits. The officers, the training and the street, for the amateur. All-clad mannequins. They're indifferent to the controversial design.

He spent the League .. and not solved your ballot Tenerife

The new left end of season friendly, as the return of Real Betis in the Primera Liga, but inevitably sad news. And here we speak of CD Tenerife, who this weekend completed its particular disaster: Tenerife all comes down to the Second Division B, who never went since 1986, the year I was born. Ie not met the canary club below the silver division, because ever since it moved from the top flight and coming to play, even in Europe.

The decline in Tenerife is a surprise, especially considering that he spent the 2009-10 season between the national elite. It was a newly relegated from the Premier League and therefore not only missed his poor ranking this year but many believed that sooner or later the team would react. Liga Adelante with already well advanced, even those who had not had the chicharreros for the descent, because they considered more likely that the quality of a template like yours end up being decisive and solving the ballot. In the end, not the case.

Matches the final day of La Liga 2010/11: schedules, how to view them on TV and the chances of each team

It all began more than eight months. Since then they have played 37 rounds of the Liga and this Saturday the last sentencing. By now the title is resolved in favor of Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Valencia and Villarreal have already qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League (Castellón will play the qualifying round) and Hercules and Almeria are already mathematically relegated to Liga Adelante. But much, much play.

Among those who will play something, first we have to Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid, who occupy, respectively, the 5 th, the 6 th and 7 th place, the three tied at 55 points (ie, less than 60 % who leads the club). Since the Espanyol lost their ability to fight for European places, these three teams are guaranteed the seventh, but everyone wants to avoid. The fifth and sixth would only have to play a qualifying round before the group stages of next season's UEFA Europa League, but the seventh will be forced to contest a qualifying round earlier than the mandatory, which would mean that their preseason would be totally determined by the two-legged match would have to at the end of July.

Then there is the struggle for permanence, a tragic spectacle this season has had and still has more equipment involved than what is usually normal. Up to six teams get to that date with the threat of falling into the Second Division: Zaragoza , Deportivo, Getafe, Osasuna, Real Sociedad and Mallorca. Here we offer all the information on this last day schedules, to be played in full on Saturday 21 and how to watch matches on television.

England already has its champions: both come from Manchester

Undoubtedly, the Manchester-England region should have all his people very happy, because the two teams that live there just crowned champions in two major titles. On the one hand, the Manchester United who became Premier League champions, and other Manchester City was crowned the master of the FA Cup (FA Cup).

For starters, the 'Red Devils' collided with Blackburn Rovers, despite the 1-1 draw celebrated with uproar, because that result was enough to win the Premier League. The United and reached 19 league wins, one more than Liverpool. This season was the best in England, exceeded the nearest competitor: Chelsea.

The match had them as rulers, but Blackburn did the task easier. Moreover, the substitute goalkeeper Kuszczak replaced the owner Van der Saar, who are saving for the Champions League final against Barcelona (May 28). Blackburn struck on 19 minutes when Brett Emerton scored the first. The United sought to tie, but the opponent's defensive scheme is not facilitated. Only in 70 minutes would equal, when he committed the Chicharito Hernández penalty, and Rooney was engaged in drawing.

The Manchester City was not far behind, winning the FA Cup against Stoke City modest, which first came to a final of this competition. However, despite its considerably cheaper workforce, offered tough fight. The author's only goal was Yaya Toure.

The Citizens took control of the game, but it was locked and did not allow very many offensive. Even Stoke had the first chances. However, the multi squad responded in the second half and took the first title since 1976. Good for the football of Manchester, who is celebrating with all merit.

The 37 Day Notes

Each week punctuate Football Notes, from 1 to 5, the least and what we liked most of the day's first division. These are the notes of the thirty-seventh day of the season.

"Divorce among Quique Flores total and Forlan

Atletico won his mathematical classification for the next Europa League. However, other feelings charged environment. First, by having to fire a coach who has led the club to win two European titles. Second, uncertainty surrounding the next project: will Kun and De Gea? And third, by the war between Quique and Forlan: the first took leave of the Graca, the second sitting in it.

"Received no favors Mallorca

This day has been marked by suspected ties and dealings between clubs, but it received Mallorca Almeria, though fallen, came out determined for the win. Therefore, Mallorca reached the final appointment without tenure resolved, though it receives to an athlete who has his homework done. The Laudrup have had chances to leave sealed their salvation but they have done. However, a priori, no reason to fear.

The Question of the Week: Sergio Busquets deserved to be punished?

Although it has been two weeks since the end of the matches on the lawn between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, ​​the controversies off it remains at the center. All because of Sergio Busquets commentary dedicated to Marcelo in the first leg of the Champions League. According to some, says "monkey." According to other "nose."

There was talk that the Barça midfielder could get to like up to five games, but UEFA announced on Monday it rejected "the claims of Real Madrid," what the white club responded with another statement disassociating responsibilities.

We want to take the question of the week to know what you think of all this controversy our readers. Busquets Should it be punished? Was there enough evidence to punish? Please see our responses Football Notes everything is ready to let you think about all this controversy.
