WHEN ARSENAL FAILED TO BUY XAVI ALONSO FROM LIVERPOOL.

The year was 2009, and the Spaniard Liverpool midfielder ,come free kick specialist Xavi Alonso, was told by the Spaniard Rafael Benitez, who was the manager of Liverpool then. Rafael Benitez made it very clear to Xavi Alonso that his services were no longer needed at Liverpool and he should seriously be looking for a new club. Now Xavi Alonso told fellow Spaniard Cesc Fabregas that he should say a word for him to Arsenal, now Cesc Fabregas was captain at Arsenal then, and both of them thought that Arsenal would sign Xavi Alonso. But the transfer deal just did not happen sadly though, Liverpool were then asking 15, fifteen million pounds for Xavi Alonso, but Arsenal a club known for very strict rules like strict weekly salary, and no crazy spending on players. Now Arsenal were only willing to pay 13, thirteen million pounds for Xavi Alonso, the deal fell through of course. Later the Spanish giants Real Madrid did come knocking at Xavi Alonso's door, he joined Real Madrid. Later on the two Giants had a swap deal agreed between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Xavi moved from Real Madrid to Bayern Munich, and Toni Kroos moved from Bayern Munich to Real Madrid. Xavi Alonso has retired from football now .

THE SPANISH TAX LAW IS MISUNDERSTOOD BUT PEOPLE GET CAUGHT HERE..

The report in THE DAILY MAIL said that Lionel Messi after found guilty of not paying his tax in Spain was fined 226,000 two hundred and twenty-six thousand pounds as fine. But he had made it very clear at a interview , the other day that he wanted to leave Spain and not Barcelona, as he was not happy with the Spanish tax law here. He wanted to leave in the year2017. So let us try and understand what really was this tax fraud case against Lionel Messi and his father Jorge Messi. It is very clear here that the tax fraud did not apply to his salary money . But here what happened was that these footballers make a lot of money from endorsements , from around the world. So the footballers have made say all this money in the U.S.A with a company say COCO COLA. Then the financial advisor had suggested here to Lionel Messi to invest it anywhere but in Spain. Now these people do listen and do so. But the Spanish tax law says that if you are paying your taxes in Spain then even that money got from any other country must be accounted in your taxes in Spain yearly. Many famous people have fallen prey to this misunderstood law. Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano, Xavi Alonso, Jose Mourinho, Raphael Nadal Diego Forlan even the princess of Spain. All have been to caught for this mistake.

CRISTIANO RONALDO GETS TWENTY THREE MOMTHS SUSPENDED SENTENCE.

The Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has been given his sentence and fine as well for Tax evasion , it was for dodging paying tax for picture rights ,and for investing the money abroad. Cristiano Ronaldo wanted a private trial, on the skype and to have been allowed to bring his car right into the court , but the judge was not having any of that, and request was flatly rejected. Cristiano Ronaldo has now admitted being guilty I n the tax evasion . His lawyer said it was a clear case of misunderstanding , and ill advised as well. So he has now got a suspended sentence of 23 , twenty three months and also has been fined heavily, to a tune of 16.5, sixteen and a half million pounds. But according to the Spanish law, people who have been found guilty for the very first time need not be imprisoned, but they will have to report to the law frequently. He was not the onlky footballer accused of tax evasion , as Lionel Messi, and Xavi Alonso , were also accused of tax evasion.

JOSE MOURINHO HAS CAUSED DIVISION AT REAL MADRID.

The coach of Real Madrid Jose Mourinho was got mainly to see that Real Madrid do finally win their tenth Champion League trophy. But he failed to do it, and this years Spanish title was won by Barcelona again. Relations were very bad at Real Madrid all the Spanish players like Sergio Ramos , Xavi Alonso, Iker Casillas were on one side in the dressing room , and it showed on the pitch as well. Only those from Portugal like Pepe, Sergio Contera and Cristiano Ronaldo , both Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho have the same agent Jorge Mendez. To make matters worse Mourinho chopped their long serving goalkeeper Iker Casillas, not for fall in form but to get another goalkeeper, but he failed and Jose Mourinho had to buy the Vilarral goalkeeper Diego Lopez, points were lost. Iker Casilas came from the youth academy of Real Madrid and was their Goalkeeper before he got his driving licence. In the end Mourinho was on talking terms with only Ronaldo, Conterao and Modric. And Mourinho is a manager who joins a club that has big money to throw around. So he is joining Chelsea with the Russian owner giving a 100 million pounds to buy players. The big question here is what will U.E.F.A do about heir FINANCIAL FAIR PLAY RULES? Even Xavi Hernandez the great Barcelona player said Iker Casillas was treated badly, like old wood.

MANCINI SEES NOTHING IN DE JONG BREAKING LEGS.

It looks very clear Roberto Mancini has lost his senses. Just supporting Nigel De Jong after he breaks the leg of Hatem Ben Arfa in two places. Mancini says there is nothing wrong in that tackle, but the sliding tackle with studs showing is a bookable offence , under F.I.F.A rules. And the refree Martin Atkinson did not even give a free kick or a yellow card. Has Martin atkinson the right to referee a game ? He is blind as a bat and stupid, he should not be the fourth referee either.

But some good came out of this ugly scene. The dutch coach has baned Nigel De Jong from two Euro cup qualifiers.A nd now Nigel De Jong wants to retire from international football.

The sooner he does so the better for football. We do not want any beast playing on the pitch. He also broke the leg of Stuart Holden in a friendly. And who can forget that Kung fu kick on Xavi Alonso chest with all studs showing, he was lucky he did not break a rib.

As he is pondering long and deep over his future, he knows in his heart what he did was bad and wrong.
