Like many football clubs around he world are really feeling he huge financial problems due to the Corona virus or the Chinese virus, which has brought the world to it's knees economically.
Borussia Dortmund are not spared either,and the club say that they will be forced to sell players to avoid financial problems.
Jadon Sancho could be sold. But now Manchester United may not be so keen to buy him as they have Mason Greenwood.
Now if the Spanish giants finally do buy the French world cup winner Kylian Mbappe from P.S.G , then would cause huge problems for Real Madrid.
For once the deal really does go through then Kylian Mbappe will demand that he plays on his favorite left side.
But unfortunately that spot is also Eden Hazard's best place.
Now Eden Hazard joined Real Madrid from Chelsea for a total of 150, one hundred and fifty million pounds.And he is getting a weekly salary of 400,000 , four hundred thousand pounds.
Kylian Mbappe will be costing roughly the same amount and weekly salary could also be the same.
Looks like Eden Hazard who has been injured and missed a lot of games will be sold. But who wants a injury prone player.?
Cristiano Ronaldo 's many fans keep bragging that he has won the league in tree countries, and Lionel Messi has not done it.
But let me give you a list of footballers to win the league in three countries.
1) Arjen Robben Holland, England and Germany.
2) Deco . Portugal England Spain.
3) Rivaldo. Brazil Spain and Turkey.
4) Van Bommel. Holland , England Spain.
5 ) JURI Jarosik. Yugoslavia Italy Greece.
6 ) Zalatan Ibrahimovic. Italy, Spain and Holland.
7) Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Holland England Spain.
8) Ya ya Toure. England Spain. Greece.
9) David Beckham England, Spain U.S.A. France.
The Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich ,, who is the owner of the English club Chelsea.
Now e has given the all go green light to sign the young and highly talented youngster ErlingBurt Halaand, from the German club Borussia Dortmund.
Now he will not be coming cheap in any way , as the German club Borussia Dortmund are asking 150, one hundred and fifty million Euros for him.
And there are ten clubs who are keen to buy him in Europe ,that is Italy, Germany, Spain and England. And you can add France as well.
Now according to the agent of Erling Burt Halaand Mino Roila , who says that his client is now wanted by ten clubs in Europe,
And they are Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool ,Chelsea, Juventus, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona and P.S.G.
But he will not be coming cheap, as Borussia Dortmund have said that they want 150, one hundred and fifty million pounds for him, and at the same time his weekly wages will reach 300,000, three hundred thousand pounds.
So let us see who will win the race to sign him.
Borussia Dortmund may sell him to generate funds if the club do not qualify for je next champion league.
It now looks more and more likely that the Spaniard David De Gea will be sold by Manchester United, as he is on a weekly salary of 370,000 three hundred and seventy thousand pounds, and ha-snot done any justice whatsoever for this fee , making plenty of errors and costing the club dearly.
Manchester are eyeing to buy the young goalkeeper Nick Pope from Burnley.
But Burnley are now asking 59, fifty million pounds for him.So will Manchester United splash out the money.
The sporting director of P.S.G the former Brazilian world cup winner Leonardo,is trying very hard to convince their world cup winner Kylian Mbappe to sign a new contract with P.S.G He has eighteen months remaining on his contract.
But hy are asking a huge sum of 200 two hundred million pounds for him, which they will not be getting during these difficult Corona Virus or Chinese virus times.
Liverpool are keen to sign him up.
But he had said recently that he was more keen to join Real Madrid instead,but as Real Madrid are facing their own financial problems ,he said he would be willing to stay on at P.S.G for a year or two more.
He will put a clause in his contract which will allow him to leave for Real Madrid, if they ask for him.
Neymar is also in talks for a new contract.
The owner of Manchester City have now gone and spent a total of a very huge sum of two Billion pounds, since the Dubai Sheikh purchased Manchester City.
The first player was the Brazilian Robinho, from Real Madrid.
Now Pep Guardiola s saying he club has big money to spend on buying footballers . And that is the reason Manchester City, have won 19,nineteen games on the trot.
But this was the same club that had made a yearly loss of 197,one hundred and ninety seven million pounds.
Lionel Messi has gone and scored 655, six hundred and fifty five goals in 762 seven hundred and sixty two games.
He has scored goals against 70 seventy different clubs for Barcelona only. But has failed to score against eight clubs only in his long and glittering career. The eight clubs he failed to score against areas follows.
1) Inter Milan.
2)Udinese.
3) Rubin Kazan.
4)Al Sadd.
5)Murcia .
6) Benfica.
7) Xerex
8) Gramesat.
It is actually not only wrong to say that Lionel Messi scores goals only against small clubs like Elchie and Alaves. These people just do not know a thing of football and are plain jealous f his skill and fame,may be only Cristiano Ronaldo fans.
Weill honestly there is no medical treatment for being stupid I must say.
LionelMessi has scored 655 , six hundred and fifty five goals for Barcelona in a total of 762 games.
And he has scored against 70 seventy clubs and has played against 78 seventy eight games.
He has failed to score a goal against 8, eight clubs in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo has now gone and told his agent Jorge Mendes to look out for a new club as he wants to move n from Juventus .
Now Cristiano Ronaldo who s already 36 thirty six years old, is now very keen to move to a new club , as he has realized that he has no chance what so ever of winning the Champion league with Juventus
He had joined Juventus from Real Madrid hoping that he would help Juventus win their first champion league , after 2005.
Now it will not be easy finding a new club in these times of Corona virus or Chinese virus.
At Juventus Cristiano Ronaldo was getting a weekly salary of 500,000 , five hundred thousand pounds..Of which half the salary was paid by Andres Agnelli the owner of and chairman of Juventus , as wellas the owner of the F.I.A.T car company.
The Argentinean striker Paula Dybala, who is now playing his club football in Italy with Juventus, also called THE OLD LADY OF TURIN.
Now this season has been difficult for him as he has suffered from injuries , that keep coming to haunt him the pain never seems to go away. And he has played only three games this season, it just shows how the pain has lingered on .
By the way he is now just two goals away from scoring a hundred goals for Juventus, and only 12, twelve footballers at Juventus ave reached this magical figure.
And his contract expires in the summer of 2022 , so they would like to cash in on him.
With Liverpool, Manchester United , Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester City all keen to sign him up.
Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, have always been said to be the very best footballers in football history. So here is the statistics of the two of them.
1) Lionel Messi as played a total of 900 nine hundred games for club and country. And he has also scored a total of 1029. one thousand and twenty nine goals for club and country.
2) Cristiano Ronaldo on the other hand has played a total of 1,048 one thousand and forty eight games for club and country. And he has scored a total of 986 nine hundred and eighty six goals for club and country.
Please kindly note Cristiano Ronaldo has played a total of 148 one hundred and forty eight games more then Lionel Messi.
Now Cristiano Ronaldo has gone and scorecard, twenty five goals or more for the fourteenth consecutive year.
And the only other footballer to do this is the Argentinean striker Lionel Messi.
Now Everton follow Tottenham Hotspurs in building a new stadium. They are now planning of moving from their old stadium Goodison Park after all these years.
The new stadium has got the Clarence from the Liverpool council..
The new stadium will be built at Brambly Moore. It will be costing Everton 500 five hundred million pounds and will be having a sitting capacity of 52, 888 fifty two thousand and eight hundred and eighty eight seats.
So you might be wondering who of the two Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi has gone and scored against most clubs..
Here Lionel Messi is miles ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Lionel Messi has gone and scored against 38, thirty eight clubs.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored against 32,thirty two clubs.
Over the years we have seen footballers ho came from rags to riches , and we have also seen footballers gong from rags to riches and back to rags as they have gone bankrupt.
1) Royston Drente .
2) Ronaldhino.
3)Paul Mearson..
4) David James.
5) Lee Hendrie.
6)Paul Gascoigne.
7) Bret Fridell .
8) Asamoah Gyan .
9)Diego Maradona.
10) John Arnie Reise.
11 )Eric Djamba, Djamba.
People think that it is Barcelona only club that is facing big financial problems,t is not so.
Even Real Madrid are facing the same problem,now they have taken a loan of 500 five hundred million pounds so they will have to pay both capital as well as a huge interest on he money taken.
And for three transfer windows Real Madrid have not bought a single player, and they have given a few payers Luka Jovic and Gareth Bale on a loan deal.
The real last big name Real Madrid spent on was on Eden Hazard., two years ago for 150 one hundred and fifty million pounds.
Mr Andres Agnelli has come and made it very clear that the Corona Virus or the Chinese virus has destroyed football clubs, financially. And there cud be 640 six hundred and forty clubs facing financial bankruptcy.
And he should know it as he is the Chairman of Juventus nand the owner as well of he F.I.A.T car company in Turin.
According to I.F.F.H.S , which stands for International Football Federation Of History and Statistics Have now gone and named the ten best goalkeepers in the world.
1) Gianluigi Buffon. 370. Points.
2)Iker Casillas 247. Points.
3)Petr Czech. 218. Points.
4) Manuel Neuer. 183. Points.
5)Thiabuat Courtios.130 Points.
6) Victor Valdez. 113. Points.
7)Hugo Loris. 106. Points.
8) Edwin Van der Sar. 105. Points.
9) Oliver Kahn .99. Points.
10) Keylor Navas 93. Points.
The Argentinean striker Lionel Messi, who plays his club football with the Spanish giants Barcelona.
Now as he is 33 thirty three years old he will be playing more of a midfield role.
Now Lionel Messi has now gone and scored 20,twenty or more goals for 13, thirteen consecutive years
Not many have gone and done this in their careers.
Now Tottenham Hotspurs have made big ambitious plans for the selling of the English striker Harry Kane, for a new English record of 150, one hundred and fifty million pounds. Honestly which club can afford paying this crazy amount for a single striker?
I f you look closely Borussia Dortmund are willing to sell Jadon Sancho for roughly 80, eighty million pounds. And Jadon Sancho is English so fills the homegrown player as well. as well.
You must also remember that due to the Corona virus or the Chinese virus, there were only five permanent transfers .
So there is no hope for Harry Kane to go anywhere else..
Tottenham Hotspurs spent one Billion Pound sin building a new stadium. So players will have to be sold.
The French champions P.S.G , who ere sitting proudly on top of the world after their champion league match with the Spanish giants Barcelona. And there Kylian Mbappe scored a hat trick.
But in the French league match P.S.G played Monaco .
And P.S.G were humiliated with a 2-0 loss to Monaco.
And to make matters worse P.S.G are third on the table in France, after spending 200 million Euros or Neymar and Kylian Mbappe was equally costly.
As the saying goes Pride comes before a fall.
During the summer transfer window of the year 2020, it is reported in the Spanish paper that Manchester United had offered to pay Barcelona v very huge sum of 130, one hundred and thirty million pounds, for their sensational little striker Ansu Fati.
But what you can imagine is just imagine paying 130, one hundred and thirty million pounds for a kid who is still a teenager and only eighteen yeas old.
And believe me great things are expected fro this youngster who is now out injured.
Now Manchester United were very well aware of the financial problems at Barcelona.And expectd Barcelona to cash in on their youngster , but Barcelona rejected the offer flatly.
Barcelona said he was their plans for the future f Barcelona.
The Argentinean striker Lionel Messi has now gone and become the all time player with the most games for Barcelona.
He has now gone and played game number 506, five hundred and six for Barcelona.
In so doing he has now gone and over taken Xavi Hernandez , who had played 505 games for Barcelona, in his long and glittering career.
But please note he is not the player to play the most games for Barcelona.
The player to play the most games for Barcelona is Andoni Zubizerrata, who was the goalkeeper for Barcelona in the late 1980s and the 1990s. He played 622 games for Barcelona .
Now the German club Borussia Dortmund could be willing to sell heir young English player
Jadon Sancho.
Last year they were asking Manchester United to pay 110 one hundred and ten million pounds. But Manchester United refused this huge amount.
But now things are different with Borussia Dortmund needing money due to the Corona Virus, or the Chinese virus, the club like all football clubs ave big financial problems.
And Borussia Dortmund have another worry, if they fail to make it to the champion league, that means more money lost.
The French club P.S.G may lose either Neymar or Kylian Mbappe in a year or two.
But hey have gone and decided the footballer they want to buy just in case one of them do eventually leave the French club.
And the footballer they are keen to buy here is the English man Harry Kane, who is playing his club football in England with Tottenham Hotspurs.
Now Tottenham Hotspurs have decided to cash on Harry Kane and have set the price at 150 one hundred and fifty million pounds. But I very much doubt if any club will pay this type of huge money.
Real Madrid were keen to buy kylian Mbappe.
The Euro Cup 2020 was supposed to have been held in 2020 but it has been postponed to the summer of 2021.
But the host is supposed to be England with the semi final and final being played at Wembley.
But in truth This Corona Virus or the Chinese virus has now given the countries taking part in the Euro Cup.
The problem is some countries are declared RED on the list of England, so no travelers from there can come to England, from countries that have been declared RED .
So will Portugal be allowed to take part in the EURO CUP?
Another problem is that the players must spend ten-days in quarantine, if they go to England.
Now according to U.E.F.A rules, clubs can stop English payers from representing England.
So Borussia Dortmund have decided to refuse permission for Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham from leaving for England.
The Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who had purchased the English club Chelsea , in the year 2003.
He has now invested already a very huge sum of two Billion pounds in buying various footballers..
But he as also known to have a very itchy fingers ,and is always ready to sack a manager. And in these years he has already sacked a total of 12, twelve managers.
He also has paid compensation to clubs when he replaces the manager and hires one who is already employed.
And still the Chelsea fans say they are not buying trophies.Do you believe them.?
Now Barcelona due to very hard financial problems were forced to sell the Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez, and it was not at all a mistake to sell him , as Barcelona wanted to save on wages so senior footballers like Ivan Rakitic , Luis Suarez and Arturo Vidal were sold .
But Barcelona sold Luis Suarez for roughly 5,five million pounds.
But if Atletico Madrid reach the quarter final Barcelona get two million pound more and if hey do win the champion league then Barcelona will get another four million pounds.
So if does happen Barcelona could be richer by eleven million pounds in the end.
Arsene Wenger has said that neither Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi should not be blamed for the loss of heir champion League games against P.S.G and F.C. Porto.
Te real reason here is neither was bad on the pitch.
But the real problem is today neither Barcelona or for the matter Juventus are strong clubs.
LionelMessi misses Luis Suarez , Neymar , Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez team work.
Cristiano Ronaldo is also missing his famous B.B.C. Kareem Benzema, Gareth Bale , Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Luka Modric and Lucas Vasquez.
As there are no feeding by midfielders and no assists then goals will dry.
Now let us not compare either Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo with Kylian Mbappe..
Back in the 1990s a sixteen year old boy named Michael Owen made his debut for Liverpool under the late manager Gerrard Houlier.
So at the age of 18 eighteen he won the Golden Boot, for scoring most goals in Europe from England, Italian , German , Spanish and French clubs.
And at the age of 22 twenty two he won the Balloon d'OR.
So the Kylian Mbappe fans and P.S.G fans should not get so very excited hee over the youngster.
So honestly has Kylian Mbappe won either of these awards.
So let us see how many goals did Kylian Mbappe , Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo score for their individual clubs when they all were 23, twenty three years old.
1) Kylian Mbappe had scored 154. one hundred and fifty four goals.
2) Lionel Messi scored 140. one hundred and forty goals.
23) Cristiano Ronaldo scored 102 , one hundred and two goals
But these Kylian Mbappe fans should come crashing to the ground.
Lionel Messi at the tender age of 23 twenty three years has already won two Balloon D; Or .
And a Golden Boot as well. That is given for the top goal scorer from clubs in Italy,Germany, Spain and France. and in England.
Cristiano Ronaldo had won the champion League with Manchester United and a Balloon d'Or. as wel.
Figures speak volumes as Kylian Mbappe has not won any of these awards.
Barcelona fans and critics from around the world must understand one thing very clearly and that is this Barcelona will not be a club as it was in the past..
The Corona Virus, or the Chinese virus has literally killed football, and it is going to take ages to be the same again probably a generation of footballers may miss glory days.
Barcelona are facing financial problems ,and facing bankruptcy , and money is so tight the players are not getting their salaries even.
Gone are the days of big spending ,Barcelona and other clubs will have to develop their youngsters, from their youth academy.
So big trophies and big wins against Champion league clubs will never be easy or the same.
There is no money to replace senior players like Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal,Sergio Busquets. and Gerard Pique.
Some people say Lionel Messi has been royally milking Barcelona over the years . But this is not at all true.
He may be getting a very huge yearly salary but he has won about 34 trophies with Barcelona .
And they are paid huge sums of money for progressing each year, by U.E.F.A and the Spanish F.A.
And each year Barcelona qualify for the champion league the sponsors pay a few million pounds.
For example Arsenal get 20, twenty million pounds from the EMIRATES if hey qualify for the champion league only.
Lionel Messi brings a yearly total of 260,two hundred and sixty million pounds commercially..
But these brainless Lionel Messi haters are really stupid and may not understand all these figures.
They say he is the cause of Barcelona 's financial problems.
Anyay thre isno medical treatment to treat stupid idiots.
Manchester City have gone and slashed 170, one hundred and seventy million pounds since
December. It was then offered 600 six hundred million pounds , but with age and form today the amount has fallen 430 four hundred and thirty million pounds.
Manchester City have offered a two year deal with one more year as optional. They also say that he can then join their City sister club in New York. And he will also be the clubs ambassador as well.
But what we must remember here is Lionel Messi will bring huge sum of money in several hundred million pounds to Manchester City commercially
Lionel Messi's father Jorge Messi has said that any club interested must set their papers o the table in December.
But here the family will have a big voice in where Lionel Messi will go.
NoOW THE DAILY MAIL SAY MANCHESTER CITY DENIED MAKING THIS OFFER>.
IDIOTS MAKE UP YOUR MINDS.
Barcelona might have lost their group off 16, sixteen game against P.S.G .
But this did not stop Lionel Messi from Breaking two champion League records.
1) He scored a goal in the champion league for he seventeenth years consecutive years
2) He also has scored 20 plus goals in 13, thirteen consecutive years.
Arsene Wenger has some real good advice for the French club P.S.G.
He has been Arsenals manager for 22 twenty two long years.
He has told P.S.G not to go after Lionel Messi in the summer and not to buy him on a free transfer. As his weekly salary will be very high.
Instead he told P.S.G to go and hold on to both Kylian Mbappe as well as Neymar,and give both of thema good new contracts ,so the club can have both Neymar as well as Kylian Mbappe for more yars then they will be getting after signing Lionel Messi.
So actually which club was the better one between the Spanish giants Barcelona and the German giants Bayern Munich, is the question.
Barcelona won all six trophies in a single year in the year 2009. Bayern Munich have done it in the year 2020/2021.
But there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the Barcelona team under Pep Guardiola , was a far better and more talented players..
They had Lionel Messi, Ronaldhino, Henry, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez , Javier Masherano, Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique, Samuel Etoó,Victor Valdez.
While Bayern Munich depend heavily on Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and David Alaba.
So when you see the names of the Barcelona team, it sends shivers down your spine.
The German giants Bayern Munich have now gone and won a total of six major trophies in a single year from 202/2021.
They won six trophies and so became the only second club ever to manage to do this in football history.
The only other club to do it and that to first, was the Spanish giants Barcelona , who won six major trophies in the year 2009..
The French club P.S.g have now gone and decided the selling price of the youngster Kylian Mbappe , in the very near future as he was wanting afresh challenge in his career.
The selling price is huge 200, two hundred million Euros or 174, or one hundred and seventy four million pounds.
And honestly this sort of money only a few clubs can really afford to throw around.Like Real Madrid,Juventus Manchester City and may be Liverpool.
But is it sensible to pay this sort of crazy money on a single player? I.t is madness I would say.
Especially during these very hard times with huge losses for every club with he Chinese Virus kiling football in a very big way.
So what about his yearly wages ?He is expecting a yearly salary of 30, thirty million Euros or 28 twenty eight million pounds .
But if he is getting over 300,000 three hundred thousand pounds. then he must score a hat trick in every match he will play, or he will be only milking the club royally.
Now Tottenham Hotspurs have now gone and decided that they are now willing to sell their striker Harry Kane in this summer transfer window.
Now Harry Kane who is 28 , twenty eight years old and is getting weekly salary of 200,000 two hundred thousand pounds.
Now this will be real music in the ears of both he Manchester United as wellas Manchester City.
As Manchester City are looking out to replace their aging Argentinean striker, Sergio Aguero, who is out of contract with Manchester City., in the summer.
Now the weekly salary of Harry Kane will be no big problem for both of these clubs for sure.
But TottenhamHotspurs are demanding a transfer-fee of 150, one hundred and fifty million pounds. Which will be a new English record.
Please kindly note this is the statistics of Kylian Mbappe Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the champion league matches only. So nothing to get excited about here. as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi took time to bloom and Kylian Mbappe started on all guns firing.
1) Kylian Mbappe . Age 22. Games 41 Started 34. Minutes played. 3,086.. Goals 24. Assists 16.
2) Lionel Messi. Age 22. Games. 33.Minutes., played 2,452. Goals 17. Assists. 7..
3) Cristiano Ronaldo. Age 22.Games 26. Minutes played 1,987. Goals 0. Assists. 5.
Read the figures carefully .
I strongly doubt that he can win five champion leagues or five Balloon dÓr.s.
During the summer transfer window Arsenal are now planning a clear out of players.
Those that could be used to clear the dead wood by Alexander Lacazatte, who has only been average player, he will take nine games to score a goal and then will play a few games to then score a. goal again for Arsenal. He could be going to Atletico Madrid ,to replace Diego Costa.
Another player they want to remove from their wages is Matheu Gendouzi., who is playing in Germany with Hertha Berlin.
Others also to be sold are David Luiz and Lucas Torreira.
Now Barcelona did lose their champion league match against P.S.G with a score of 4-1.
And the world cup winner Kylian Mbappe scored his first hat trick in a champion league.
People say that Lionel Messi did not do enough in the match, but now he no longer plays all the time as a striker but in the midfield due to his age which is now 33 thirty three years.
But Lionel Messi did score the only goal for Barcelona, and it was penalty which was a new champion league record.
Now Lionel Messi becomes the second footballer in champion league history after the Spaniard Raul Gonzalez , who had played for Real Madrid and Schalke.
They have both scored a goal in the champion league for 17,seventeen consecutive years .
The French club P.S.G. thrashed the Spanish club in the group of 16 sixteen first leg.The game ended in a 4-1 win for P.S.G. The goals for P.S.G came with a hat trick from Kylian Mbappe and also a goal scored by Moise Keen.
Lionel Messi scored from a penalty after Frenkie De Jong was brought down in the box.
So in the seeing wil be seeing history repeating itself when Barcelona came from 4-0 first leg defeat to against P.S.G in the 2017, Barcelona replied in the second leg with 6 -1 win and a aggregate of 6-.5.
But it may not happen this time with Barcelona with all youngsters and Barcelona rebuilding their team under great financial problems.
Now according to THE SUN, which said Zinedine Zidane could be leaving Real Madrid , as his contract with Real Madrid expires in 2022.
So you see Juventus and Real Madrid both are not doing very well in their respective leagues .
Real Madrid lost their Copa Del Rey cup to a third tier club. And their eternal enemy Barcelona , even after selling top players are challenging strongly for titles.
And Andres Pirlo has done badly with Juventus.
And there could alsobe a chance of Zinedine Zidane reuniting with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o, who played for Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea as well.
He was a product of Real Madrid's youth academy. But was thought not to be a good enough player for Real Madrid, in his early days. He was sold to Malroca
He is the only footballer in football history to go and win two treble trophies with two different clubs.
He won the treble with Barcelona in the year 2009.
He also won the treble in Italy with Inter Milan.
Ever since F.I.F.A approved the infamous V.A.R,which has been nothing but a absolute failure in the football world.
It has been a hated instrument by players managers as well as fans alike ,
What is so very upsetting here is it was introduced to help the referees in their decisions to get the correct answers. But it has been a total failure fans ,managers and players are quite fed up with the wrong decisions of V.A.R.
Points are lost, managers get sacked because of these referees and V.A.R The F.A .just saying sorry will not help here.
The problem here is the referees and the ones managing V.A.R do not know what they are doing ,so justdo one thing here let retired players take over V.A.R.
And if that is not enough just get rid of that thing-for good. V.A.R has killed football sadly.
Since the year 2009 there have only been nine footballers to score well over 200,two hundred goals.
1) Lionel Messi .396 Goals.
2) Cristiano Ronald.373 Goals.
3)Robert Lewandowski. 20 Goa.
4)Edison Cavani. 232. Goals.
5)Luis Suarez. 230 Goal.
6)Sergio Aguero. 205. Goals.
7)Pierre Emerick Abumeyang , 201. Goals.
8) Zalatan Ibrahimovic .201. Goals.
Now Lionel Messi has gone and equaled the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Now Lionel Messi has now gone and scored 73 goals from open play.
That means free kicks and penalties are not at all counted here.
Franck Lampard the former West Ham United and Chelsea midfielder and the manager of Chelsea as well.
Now the Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is a very well known to have very itchy fingers , where sacking managers are concerned, he has sacked 12, twelve managers since 2004.
But now Chelsea are still paying Franck Lampard a weekly salary of 75,000, seventy five thousand pounds.
nd they will only stop paying him this money in June 2021.
And if he does get a managers job before the month of June , then he willstop getting this weekly salary.
The former graduate from Barcelona's famous youth academy called THE LA MASIA, THE CASTLE. Xavi Simon, who is now 17, seventeen years old His father is from Holland, and named him after the famous Barcelona and Spain midfielder Xavi Hernandez.
Now young Xavi Simon when he was fifteen years old his agent the notorious agent Mino Roila, wanted more money as weekly salary, Barcelona were willing to pay him 20,000 twenty thousand pounds as a weekly salary. But Mino Roila wanted him to get a higher amount as weekly salary, he ten refused to sign up a new contract at Barcelona, he was then forced by Barcelona to be sold to P.S.G in France ,where he is getting 50,000 pounds a week.
He is a very good midfielder,Barcelona had no desire to sell him, it was his agent greedy mind that played a big part in his move from Barcelona to P.S .G..
Now Xavi Simon and his agent wanted more playing time. He should know that getting the starting place at Barcelona is not easy as there are quite a few also waiting for their turn.
And another question is at fifteen years how much money does a teenager require.
Arsenal are keen to buy the young 18,eighteen year old Tiago Tomas ,from the Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon.
He is a highly talented youngster , with a very bright future.
He is the next best thing to come out of Sporting Lisbon, since Cristiano Ronaldo.
But he has a big buy out clause in his contract which stands at 52, fifty two million pounds.
But due to the Covid 19 and financial problems facing the Portuguese club they will sell him for a cutout price.
Edu and Arsenal are trying to get the deal done in 20, twenty million pounds.
We all know Lionel Messi has scored the most goals for a single club with 653 goals at Barcelona.
The famous Brazilian Pele comes second with 643 goals for Santos.
The West German Gerd Muller had scored 571 goals for Bayern Munich.
Now it looks more and more likely that Sergio Ramos will be leaving Real Madrid after sixteen long years with Real Madrid.
Neither of them are seeing eyeball to eyeball and Real Madrid are looking for a replacement as well.
But what has angered both Sergio Ramos is that the club do not want to give him a new and better contract, as the club say they have financial problems .
But Real Madrid have been redeveloping their famous stadium the Santiago Bernabue , andReal Madrid have taken a loan of 500 five hundred million pounds.
And Florentino Peres wants to buy Kylian Mbappe from P.S.G for 130 one hundred and thirty million pounds and are also willing to pay him over 600,000 six hundred thousand pounds.
The Austrian central back David Alaba, who will be laving Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window as a free agent. It is said that he could be joining up with the Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Yes he is coming free but he is asking a huge yearly salary, he wants a weekly salary of over 400,000 four hundred thousand pounds., which is far too much for a defender, after all how many goal will he score for Real Madrid,? He will only be milking Real Madrid. And tat to at this horrible Chinese virus days.
And Real Madrid will have to really invest in anew central defender to replace Sergio Ramos.
Real Madrid have offered David Alaba a yearly salary of 11. eleven million Euros , or 9.5 million pounds.
Manchester City have offered 15 fifteen million Euros or 13.5 million pounds.
Now in the January transfer window Manchester United had completed the buying of-the Ivory Coast player . He had agreed terms last year and was allowed to play in Italy with Atlanta. He was sold to Manchester United for a total of 37, thirty seven million pounds , Made up of add ons as well.
But now worrying news from Italy says that he has been fined forty eight million Euros or 42, forty two million pounds. His brother Ha mad Tarore , who plays in Italy with Sussolo .
But what was the reason fr this huge fine.
See it looks like child trafficking as Hamad is not his real brother, as aD.N.A test was done in Italy. it did not match.
Now to make matters worse here the person who gave the paper claiming to be the father Mr Hamad Mammadou. and the mother Elwinge Carrie Tehar were not even married.
But he was not deported back to the country of origin, as he was 16 years in 2015.
Even as there are thousands of footballers still playing this beautiful game, but there have only been three footballers, who are still playing and have gone and reached this magical figure.
The magical figure here is scoring 500, five hundred goals in their log and glittering careers.
They are as follows.
1)Lionel Messi. 33 years
2) Cristiano Ronaldo. 36 yeas,
3) Zlatan Ibrahimovic. 39 years.
The boots worn by Lionel Messi in the La Liga match played between Barcelona and Valencia. in 2021. saw Lionel Messi score goal number 644, six hundred and forty four goals,making him the top goal scorer with a single club.
It had broken the previous record of the great Brazilian Pele who had scored 643 six hundred and forty three goals for Santos in Brazil..
But you may be wondering where are those boots worn by Lionel Messi when he scored that magical goal?
The football boots is at a Museum now .
And Lionel Messi has decided to auction those famous boots for charity .
The money will go for children suffering from Cancer.
In the year 2012 Lionel Messi scored a world record of 91,ninety one goals for Barcelona. But then how many did the top clubs score in Europe.
1) Lionel Messi 91 ninety one goals for Barcelona
2) The entire Manchester United team scored only 85.Goals.
3) The entire P.S.G scored 86. Goals.
4)The entire Juventus team scored 87. Goals.
5)The Entire Borussia Dortmund Scored 88 Goals.
Now will it be possible for another footballer to break this record.The answer is no.
Now the English F.A, have gone and made it more difficult for clubs in England to appoint foreign managers.
The new rules say that to qualify for a G.B.E. a manager must have been working for two consecutive years .
Now this makes it easier for clubs to appoint English managers .
But this law will even make it really hard on clubs as even the back room staff need to clear the G.B.E.
But it will not affect manages already working in England.
Not at all a good move I would say,where are the god English managers name a few please.
The Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez,, who was sold by Barcelona to Atletico Madrid, for a sum of 5.5 million pounds. Now the reason Barcelona released him was because he is ow 33 thirty three years old, and Barcelona was forced to sell him to trim down the wages of the players as it had crossed the 70, seventy percent of income wages could only be spent.According to their bye laws.
It was unavoidable and not sold by mistake.
But Luis Suarez is the very best number 9 ,and-now he has scored 16 sixteen goals in seventeen games. It is the fastest record he broke the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009/2010.
Now according to the contract of Luis Suarez at Athletico Madrid, if he scores 15, fifteen goals the club would be paying him one million pounds.
The Brazilian Neymar and the Argentinean Angel Di Maria are now both are injured
And the big question here is wil both of them make a complete recovery for the champion league group of 16 match.
As the P.S.G club have not forgotten the big humiliation faced in the 2017 champion league quarter final second leg with P.S.G wining the first leg 4-0.
But Barcelona had other ideas and won the second leg 6-1, and the aggregate was 6-5. So it will be important for how long the pair are out for.
As both of thm can change the game quickly.
1) Lionel Messi 319. Assists.
2) Cristiano Ronaldo .258 Assists.
3)Luis Suarez. 256 Assists.
4) Mesut Ozil. 253.. Assists.
5) Angel Di Maria.235. Assists.
6) Cesc Fabregas. 234. Assists.
7) Xavi. Hernandez 230. Assists.
8) Franck Ribery. 228. Assists.
9) Thomas Muller. 223. Assists.
10) Kevin De Bruyne.216. Assists
People may be wondering why the 2021 January transfer was such a bad one.
In truth these two things really killed the January transfer window. With only five permanent deals done and a business of only 70,seventy million pounds.
The two Main reasons the transfer season was a very poor one was because of he Chinese virus ,or Covid 19 and the new rules by the F.A. after the Brexit in January.
Now this has hit appointment of managers .
So clubs can sign only more English managers , they have to clear G.B.E to be appointed even their back room staff will nt join so easily like before they will have to qualify for G.B.E.
This summer transfer window will be seeing some big and highly talented footballers who are free agents.
1) Lionel Messi.
2) Sergio Aguero.
3)Julian Draxler.
4) Memhis Depay.
5) Angel Di Maria.
6) Sergio Ramos.
7) David Alaba.
8) Gianluigi Donnaroumma.
9) Jerome Boateng.
10) Sergio Romero.
It is now final that he Spain and Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos will be leaving Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
So which club while be joining in the summer transfer window?
He as two main choices either it is P.S.G in France or Manchester United.
Manchester United are willing to give him a two year deal and also give him a weekly salary of 200,000,
two hundred thousand pounds.
But as he s a very dirty player the referees in England are known to have very itchy fingers to show yellow and red cards.
Now it looks more and more likely tat the Real Madrid central defender and captain Sergio Ramos will be leaving Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, as a free agent.
Sergio Ramos joined Real Madrid, from Seville , fifteen years ago,and he has been a real good player, captain and a leader for Real Madrid.
He has now rejected two new contract offers from Real Madrid.
The first contract offer was rejected as the club offered him a one year deal and he wanted two years. And he is already thirty four years old.
The second contract offer was rejected as Real Madrid, wanted him to take a ten percent cut in his yearly salary.
He has now gone under the knife he is operated on his knee and may return in April only.
Real Madrid will sign the Austrian defender David Alaba on a free transfer in the summer.
You might get a central defender but to get a bold and daring captain and leader will nt be easy and rRaphael Varane also leaving ,means hard times for Real Madrid.
The Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez who is now playing his club football in Spain with Atletico Madrid. Now Luis Suarez has been firing with all cylinders , he is the top goal scorer in the La Liga for the year 2020/2021. and is now leading the La Liga for the Pin Chichi award , or the Golden boot for most goals in Spain
He has now gone and scored the fastest 16, sixteen goals in 17 games in the La Liga history. He has now gone and broken the record for the fastest 16 goals set by Cristiano Ronaldo in the year 2009/2010.
Things were going very , very well for Liverpool who were in the wilderness for over thirty years , in the English Premier League, they had last won it in the year 1990, they then won it in the year 2019/2020.
And earlier they won the champion league. as well.
But how did things go so very badly for Liverpool?
The answer is very simple. Liverpool lost their wall the big Dutch central defender Virgil van Dijk, he out for a long time injury , and for the matter is till out injured.
And with his departure Liverpool's season has also collapsed.
But Liverpool have failed to find a replacement in the January transfer window., a very big blunder.
The Argentinean striker Lionel Messi,who plays his club football with Barcelona in Spain.,.
Wan the year 2012 calendar year Lionel Messi went and scored a new world record of a total of 91, ninety one goals. And so he broke the record for most goals scored in a calendar year .
The previous record was held by the Bayern Munich and West German footballer Gerd Muller,who was lovingly called the BOMBER. He scored 85 , eighty five goals.
What many people are not aware of is that in that year 2012 Lionel Messi was injured with a serious hamstring injury,and it takes over three weeks for a hamstring injury to get alright. But Lionel Messi missed a total of eight weeks due to this injury , in other words he missed out two full months of football in the year 2012
So it is anybody's guess if he was fit ,then how many goals would he have scored.
It might have been a very big surprise for not seeing Real Madrid in the big spending by clubs in Europe since 2016.
Real Madrid have gone and cut their spending in a very big way The last big money was spent by Real Madrid, was on the Belgian play maker Eden Hazard, who did cost the club 150 million pounds with add ons .And not spent in two transfer windows.
But what is really surprising here is the recently promoted club Leeds United has a deficit of 100 million pounds. And Real Madrid have a 80, million pounds Deficit.
THE C.I.E.S which regularly monitors the spending of football clubs in Europe has come out with a list of ten clubs in Europe, with their spending, earnings and also their deficits as well. And it did not make god reading.
1)Manchester City. Spent 883.Million Pounds. Earned 329. Million Pounds. Deficit. 544 Million Pounds.
2)Manchester United. Spent. 930 Million Pounds. Earned 215. Million Pounds. Deficit. 515. Million Pounds.
3)Barcelona. Spent. 1 Billion pounds. Earned 614 Million Pounds. Deficit. 413 Million Pounds.
4) P.S.G. Spent 748 Million Pounds. Earned. 349 Million Pounds. Deficit. 400 Million Pounds.
5) Inter Milan.Spent. 582. Million Pounds. Earned 243 Million Pounds. Deficit. 338 Million Pounds.
6) Everton. Spent.614. Million Pounds. Earned. 311. Million Pounds. Deficit 303 Million Pounds.
7) Aston Villa. Spent. 356 Million Pounds. Earned. 59 Million Pounds. Deficit. 297 Million Pounds.
8) A.C. Milan. Spent.505 Million Pounds. Earned. 233. Million Pounds. Deficit. 272. Million Pounds.
9)Chelsea Spent. 848 Million Pounds. Earned 578 Million Pounds. Deficit 270 Million Pounds.
10) Arsenal Spent. 515.. Million Pounds. Earned. 253. Million Pounds. Deficit.262. Million Pounds.
So who has scored more goals after coming on as a substitute, between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo..
1 ) Lionel Messi.
Games 97. Goals 47. Assists 20. Hat tricks 1.
Cristiano Ronaldo..
Games 93.
Goals 20.
Assists 8.
Hat tricks 0..
So Lionel Messi is miles away.
Now according to I.F.F.H.S, which stands for International Football Federation History and Statistics .
Now I.F.F.H.S has gone and named the footballer of the decade 2010/2020.
And the winner was Lionel Messi .
2) Cristiano Ronaldo .
3) Andres Iniesta,
Ronaldo fans are going to be really upset here.
This is why the loss by Liverpool to Manchester City was so very embarrassing to Liverpool, as the match ended 4-1 in favor of Manchester City.
And to make it more embarrassing for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp was that their Brazilian goalkeeper Alison Becker made not one but two major blunders and gave the game on a silver platter to Manchester City.
But what may not be noticed here is that Manchester City played the entire match WITHOUT A STRIKER. As both Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus were absent and did not travel for the game. And mind you Liverpool are reeigning English Premier League champions.
In the 2006 F.I.F.A world cup held in unified Germany for the very first time.
And in-the group stages F. Australia were playing Croatia.
And the referee for this match had to be a English referee after all and his name was Graham Poll. A vastly experienced referee in England.
In this match Graham Poll was going to do the biggest blunder in F.I.F.A history.
In the game at various time he showed the Croatian player Josep Simonic not two but three yellow cards followed by the red card. Now F.I.F.A rules clearly state that there should only be two yellow cards followed by a red card, and not three yellow cards.
But what was greatly surprising was that neither the two linesmen nor the fourth referee , the man who shows the time board , they all failed to inform Graham Poll of this big blunder.
And It had to be all four English referees , who are the worst referees.
The President of F.I.F. A. tried to defend the mistake and all the referees involved . But Graham Poll rightly retired as a referee that very day.
The Welsh winger Gareth Bale, who is out on a loan deal from Real Madrid and is ow playing at Tottenham Hotspurs.
But hee is a break down of his very huge wages.
1) Weekly wages 650,0000 , six hundred and fifty thousand pounds.Which is devided by both Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspurs. Each paying 3, 25000,three thousand twenty five thousand only.
2) Got for goals. 1,3. Million pounds.
3) Got for each pass 28,000 pounds.
4) got for each minute 9,000 pounds.
5) got for each chance created 650,000 pounds.
The big old Swedish war horse Zlatan Ibrahimovic , who by the way is now 39, thirty nine years old, usually footballers retire at the age of 35, thirty five years.But he is getting better and better each time he plays ,just like old wine gets better after a longer time.
We are always talking of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo scoring goals, but let us give credit where credit is really due.
Now Zalatan Ibrahimovic in his game with Caratone , scored his goal number 500, five hundred in his long and glittering career.
Back when the Norwegian Martin Odegaard when he was a teenager of 14 , fourteen years of age and was playing for the then club Stromsgodest .
He was a highly rated kid with control and vision for the ball.
Then the Arsenal scout Steve Marrow for the youth has come forward to say that he was following the wonder kid for a period of 18 eighteen months and made several visits to the club in Norway.
In fact Arsenal had invited te youngster Martin Odegaard to visit England and Arsenal, which he agreed to.
Arsene Wenger and Steve Marrow took Martin Odegaard for a dinner as well,after showing him Arsenal..
But sadly in the end the youngster decided to join Real Madrid, and he failed to click in Spain .
He i now own loan at Arsenals now .
Now the Cameroon goalkeeper Andrea Onanna ,who has been given a twelve month ban from all football
Now he was not well and he wanted a aspirin tablet ,but by mistake he took the tablet which was prescribed by a doctor for his live in partner. The tablet was called Furosemide, it is table that makes you pass excess fluid from the body as urine and also get rids of excess salt.
Then you may ask why is it then banned.? It is banned as this tablet may help cheats to pass extra urine and prevent being caught.
Now some people have come forward to defend him by saying he was caught because he was a black man.
But that is not the case if a drug is banned then anybody being found guilty of doing will be banned. .
But Ajax say they will appeal to C.A.S. over the ban.
But Adrian Muttu and Diego Maradona and Claudio Cannigga are not black footballers.
The Real Madrid and Spain's captain Sergio Ramos has now under gone a knee surgery, and will be out from 8, eight weeks to 10, ten weeks, and it will greatly depend on his recovery a he is already 34,, thirty four years old.
he was trying very hard to avoid going under the knife here, and delayed t for a while.
But Real Madrid wil greatly miss his dirty football. and leadership on the pitch.
But one thing is very clear here , this wil not help in getting a new contract at Real Madrid.
The French world cup winner Kylian Mbappe, who is now playing his club football in France,with P.S.G..
he has now gone and confirmed that he will indeed be signing a new contract with P.S.G, and the new contract will be a two year deal only.
He also made it very clear here that his real desire is to one day join up with the Spanish giants Real Madrid only.
He also said that as Real Madrid are also facing huge financial-problems , and Real Madrid , have gone and taken a huge loan of 500, five hundred million pounds ,to redevelop their famous stadium called the Santiago Bernabue , one of their early presidents.
Kylian Mbappe is hoping really hard that Real Madrid, in the next two years will make a complete financial-recovery, and they will be able to afford him.
But P.S.G have gone and made it amply clear that he will not be coming cheap in any way. He will be costing more then what P.S.G paid Barcelona for Neymar, which as a world record of 198, one hundred and ninety eight million pounds.
The former Ajax, Arsenal and Barcelona and Holland winger, who was known for his fast pace and accurate passing in the box .
He became the costliest Dutch footballer to join Barcelona from Arsenal, for a record fee for a dutch footballer , Arsenal sold him for 25, twenty five million pounds.
He was the sporting director of Ajax , after all these years at Ajax he followed the policy of late Johan Cruyff and Arsene Wenger, which was to buy footballers who are young and get them cheap and sell for a big profit. Like Frenkie De Jong, Mattjhis De light , and Donny Van der Beek, are examples.
He is wiling to take up the job at either Arsenal or Barcelona.
The Barcelona striker Lionel Messi has gone and made things very crystal clear hereon his future at Barcelona.
He has clearly said that he has neither spoken to the French club P.S.G. or for the matter Manchester City.
And he has made it amply clear that he will wait till the and of this season to decide on his future.
He will be looking at a few things at Barcelona then.
1) Who will be the new president of Barcelona in the elections.
2) Where did Barcelona end in the season.
3) And if Barcelona won any trophies.?
There are quite a few footballers who were born on this particular date the fifth of February.
And they were all good footballers and scored sacks of goals where ever they played.
1) Cristiano Ronaldo.
2) Carlos Tevez.
3) Georghe Hagi.
4) Neymar.
But all were showmen loved fancy cars as well.
The Cameroon goalkeeper Andrea Onanna , who is playing his club football in Holland with Ajax.
He is a graduate from the famous youth academy of Barcelona called LA MASIA ,THE CASTLE.
He has now been found being guilty for taking the banned substance FUROSEMIDE.
He said as he was not well he wanted to take a aspirin tablet but by mistake he took his partners tablet called Furosemide, as both strips look a like here.
But he is now got twelve match ban for all his efforts.
People say that it is only a Furosemide tablet no need to make such a very big noise about it.
Now let us see why it is banned, the rules are very clear for sportsperson the world over. The must have a valid doctors prescription for any medicine taken.
And Furosemide is a tablet that helps you pass excess water in the body as urine and also extra salt.
So why is it banned then? The reason is drug cheats will use this to pass out more urine and if they were taking banned substance it will not be showing up in the urine sample.
Ajax have said that they will appeal to C.A.S. He will now miss THE AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS , to be played in Cameroonin 2022.
When Lionel Messi joined up with the Barcelona youth academy called THE LA MASIA, THE CASTLE.
In his batch there were few footballers who graduated with him from The la Masia. And those that really became famous were Cesc Fabregas, who played for Barcelona,, Chelsea , Arsenal and Monaco.
Another one was Gerard Pique, who played for Manchester United and Barcelona.
Cesc Fabregas tells us that Lionel Messi right from day one impressed the Barcelona youth and senior club. He had a terrific football brain, vision dribbles and accurate passes were there from the very first day.
But there was a big error in his play as he would be falling down,often if tackled or even when not tackled. The bones were so week and he lost his balance when he ran fast even.
But this all changed after those costly injections.
Cesc Fabregas also said a very shy and quiet Lionel Messi would sit by himself all alone at the La Masia, he was homesick. But the senior players at Barcelona like Xavi Hernandez Andres Iniesta and Carles Puyol would visit the kids to spend time and to give them gifts as well.
There is no dodging the truth that it was Barcelona that made Lionel Messi and in turn Lionel Messi made Barcelona shine in Glory.
Now we have to go back yeas when Lionel Messi was thirteen years old and was playing for Newel Old Boys. The club Diego Maradona played for in his youth.
The Barcelona scout Carles Rushak visited the club, as he had been told to look for the 13,,thirteen year old boy. He was surprised when they pointed out a small boy who looked five years old This was due to the illness called Hormone growth deficiency, where the bones were not developed as in the was way they should so he Lionel Messi was looking a like a five year old.The scout liked what he saw.
Now according to F.I.F.A rules as he was under 18 years ,his parents had to join him in Barcelona.
No football club was willing to spend that money on his treatment it was a hundred pounds for each injection . But there was a argument in the Barcelona board meeting over the money for his treatment.
Mr Jorge Messi got impatient with the scout, s nothing was done and no contract was signed. And he wanted to go back to Rosario. Te scout Carles Rushak asked the waiter i the hotel to get a paper, the waiter brought a napkin. And Lionel Messi's, first contract with Barcelona was written and signed on that napkin.It is now framed and displayed in the trophy room at Barcelona..
Well what Lionel Messi did at Barcelona is now HISTORY.
In the English Premier League history these ten clubs have had te most Red cards shown to players.
1) Arsenal 98. Red Cards.
2) Everton 98. Red Cards.
3) Newcastle United. 86. Red Cards.
4) Chelsea. 79. Red Cards.
5)Blackburn Rovers. 77. Red Cards.
6) West Ham United. 74. Red Cards.
7) Manchester City. 70. Red Cards.
8) Tottenham Hotspurs. 68. Red Cards.
9) Manchester United.67. Red Cards.
10 Sunderland. 65. Red Cards.
Please note Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers are o longer playing in the English Premier League.
Barcelona only a few months ago were hobbling over the relegation table,things really did look dark and gloomy then, with huge financial problems, and selling of top players like Luis Suarez, Arturo Vidal and Ivan Rakitic just did not help the club one bit.
But today they re second i the table below Atletico Madrid. Have payed one final ad are in the semi finals at the Copa Del Rey cup, mind you Barcelona have not bought any player or for the matter even on a loan this January. In the quarter final match in the Copa Del Rey against Granada.
Granada were 2-0 at the 81st minute after two errors by the Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti.
But things changed at the end in injury time as both Antoine Greizman and Jordi Alba equalized .
But during A.E.T. Barcelona scored two more goals one each from Antoine Greizman and again from Jordi Alba. But there was a twist a Granada were given a penalty. But then Frenkie De Jong scored the fifth goal deep into Extra time.
The match ended 5=3 in Barcelona favor.
It is very much possible for Lionel Messi to be still playing in Spain in the LA LIGA , with Athletic o Madrid.
There are a few reasons tat this can be possible both his long time friend the Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez is playing at the club now and top goal scorer in Spain.
The other reason is the fellow Argentinean manager Diego Simone is there al friends you see.
Now Lionel Messi had said that as his children are small he would play two years more in Spain.
And then he would move to INTER MIAMI in the U.S.A MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER.
He has a huge property in Miami.
When Real Madrid sent the Welsh winger Gareth Bale a season long loan to the English , old club Tottenham Hotspurs, but sadly he has failed to slick at Tottenham Hotspurs, he has so far scored a single goal only.
But when he left Real Madrid he was a European Union player at Real Madrid, but now he is a none European Union Player.
And the new rules after U.K left the E.U in the BREXIT ACT He will be finding it very hard to find a starting place at Real Madrid , according to U.E.F.A rules there can be only three none E.U members playing for a club at one time from 25, twenty five players declared for a game.
So the Brazilian strikers Vinicious Junior,Rodrigo ,Reinner, Eder Milito and Casemeiro are all there before him.
So Gareth Bale will be on the bench and collacta weekly salary of 650,000 six hundred and fiftythousand pounds before tax.
In the match played between Arsenal and Wolverhampton , in which the Brazilian central defender David Luiz ,who was shown a straight red card and also gave a penalty to Wolves.
Now the referee Mr Prowse gave a red card because David Luiz brought down Willian .
But it was a accidental touch a David Luis was going down anyway. And replay clearly shows there was little or no contact whatsoever.
In fact there should have ben only a yellow card shown here and there should have been o penalty at all .
But the V.A.R referee Mr Moss gave it as a penalty.
So let us see what he F.I.F.A rules say It is very clear if you do bring down the last man down purposely then it is a red card as well as a penalty. But if it was a clear accidental touch a yellow card would do and no penalty given.
Referee mark Clattengurg , Glen Hoddle and Rio Ferdinand were all aghast at the very poor standard of English refereeing. These referees must be demoted to the fourth tier games to learn to be referees.
Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful standard of English referees.
It is very wrong to blame Lionel Messi for the financial mess at Barcelona, he has nothing to do with the financial matters at Barcelona, he has to score goals and win trophies, which he has done repeatedly that is why he has been paid for. He may be getting a yearly salary of 132 one hundred and thirty two million pounds
Now you have to look at this emotionally, economical and commercially.
According to a economic expert, who says that Barcelona were paying Lionel Messi for the past three years without any problems,and Barcelona were heading of earning one BILLION POUNDS in a year the first club to do it. But then the horrible Corona Virus or Chinese virus attacked the word and brought it to it's knees. And another problem at Barcelona was that according to the clubs bye laws only 70, seventy percent of their income can go as salaries here it was 74 percent..
Now let us see what Messi has done for Barcelona he sells yearly over two million jerseys for total of two and half million pounds. Tourists visit Barcelona just to see Lionel Messi play a match. The huge sale of tickets to a over packed Barcelona is worth millions , Commercial adds bring another few millions or Billions yearly The economist says that Messi may take 134 million pounds yearly but in four years Barcelona have made 2. Billion pounds.yearly winning trophies means getting a bonus for clubs ten La Liga;s four champion league and six Copa Del Rey all bring million pounds.
So please understand before blaming Lionel Messi for the Barcelona mess.
The Brazilian striker Neymar, who is playing his club football in France with P.S.G.
Now he had 18, eighteen months remaining on his contract with P.S.G.
The deal is for a period of four months only and he will be getting a weekly salary of 600,000, six hundred thousand pounds.
And this is why it is far too much I would say.
I have always said that if a player is getting 300,000 three hundred thousand pounds then to do any sort of justice to his salary he should score a hat trick in every match he plays.
Now here Neymar should score at least five goals in each match and this just not going to happen with Neymar, for sure. Happy milking Neymar.
Mauricio Pochettino is a happy man and now Kylian Mbappe has to sign his contract.
But did Neymar sign the deal after he saw the fiancial problems at Barcelona.
Joel Lopez is a under 17 footballer for Spain. He is a product of Barcelona;s famous youth academy caled THE LA MASIA, THE CASTLE.
He is seventeen years old and plays left back similar to Jordi Alba, at Barcelona.
So could Joel Lopez follow the footsteps of Cesc Fabregas, ad Hector Bellerin. Who were from Barcelona's famous youth academy called The-la Masia.
He is pacy and likes to support the team in the front.
Barcelona did not want to lose Joel Lopes, but ahead of him was a Miranda who was two years older to Joel Lopez, and he knew that his turn would not be coming soon at Barcelona
So he moved toArsenal, and could start very soon for the Arsenal team in the English Premier League.
The other day there was a leak of the contract and the very huge salary of Lionel Messi , in the Spanish paper called THE EL MUNDO. Mind you it is not a Madrid based paper.
The figures were highly exaggerated I would say, it was too large for a footballer , for even Lionel Messi.
Now the very big question I ask here is the contract which was signed by Lionel Messi in 2017, there were two copies signed one at Barcelona and one with Lionel Messi. So only people from Barcelona or Lionel Messi had it leaked.
Now both Barcelona and Lionel Messi , have said that they will be taking legal action against THE EL MUNDO.
Now in a recently leaked paper in Spain called the EL MUNDO.
Which showed a page of Lionel Messi's 2017 contract which he signed. Now in tat yar there was no recession nor was there any Corona Virus or Chinese virus. And when you are talking of a person who is considered the very best player born in this century , the contract will be very high in figures on yearly salary and add ons as well. It wil naturally break a few records here.
But to say Lionel Messi has been milking Barcelona all these years is not correct.
As the contract took months to complete and be ironed out ad was written by Barcelona, Lionel Messi only agreed to their terms and signed it. It was not the other way around..He might have been costly where wages were concerned. But he got Barcelona ten La Li-gas Six Copa Del Rey cups, four champion Leagues, six Ball loon D'Or
And Barcelona sell yearly over two million jerseys of Lionel Messi,each costing 90 to 180 pounds.
Sponsors are ready to pay Barcelona big, big money , because of Lionel Messi ONLY.
So he has paid Barcelona quite well in the end.
Recently the Spanish paper EL MUNDO, had published the entire contract of the Barcelona and Argentina striker Lionel Messi.
It was very much in detail like weekly salary,yearly salary, and how many millions he would get for winning a champion league and how much he would get for winning a Balloon d'Or.
The question here is who leaked the contract from the files at the Barcelona office. Was this leak the actual figures or fudged ones by THE EL MUNDO.
But one ting is very clear it was unprofessionally done job.
And now both Barcelona and Lionel Messi have both said that they will be filing cases against THE EL MUNDO.
Now as countries get their team ready for the 2022 world cup qualifiers .
England are having problems as they wil have to stay at least for ten days in quarantine, after they return from their matches in Poland, San Marino ad Armenia.
Now this will be a big trouble for footballers playing in the English Premier League, Champion League and the F.A. cup as well.
England are thinking of forfeiting all three games . Now that will clearly mean that England will lose against all three countries, and lose 3-0 with three points lost for each game.
The former Brazilian world cup winner and former Barcelona striker, Rivaldo, has now said that Barcelona really made a very big mistake by not selling, their Argentinean striker Lionel Messi in the summer transfer window of 2020.
He also said that Barcelona could have sold him for a 100, one hundred million pounds like Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to Juventus, or a 100, one hundred million pounds.
But even the interim president of Barcelona , had said this same ting. And I am very much surprised at these two people.
This is why Barcelona did not sell Lionel Messi. In his contract it is very clearly mentioned that Lionel Messi can leave Barcelona at the end of he season. But he had to give a letter to the club concerning this before or on 10/6/2020. This point was not noticed by Lionel Messi or his agent Jorge Messi,
The president of the Spanish La Liga , Mr Javier Tebas , said as the letter was not written to Barcelona, Lionel Messi can not leave at the end of the season, yes he can leave at the end of his contract in June 2022.
