The International Chess Federation ( FIDE ) has announced a prize for the World "at least one million euros" , without giving too many details or specifying sponsors, beyond their agreement with AGON. Nothing new. One more year, the duel is planned twelve games , far from the classic clashes to 24 or the winner of six. 
FIDE hopes to attract more than one billion fans through Internet and television. His dream would be that one of the two American candidates, Nakamura and Caruana, will face the champion. Not reach the audience of the Super Bowl, but ...
The note of the International Federation collected a first reaction elected mayor,  Bill de Blasio : "All New Yorkers welcome the World again in New York. What better place than a city where parks are full of chess enthusiasts. " After  Bobby Fischer , champion in 1972, the last American who approached the title was  Gata Kamsky , who lost the final against Anatoly Karpov  in 1996.

The technician must earn its continuity

Zidane will reform campus in July if semifinalist in the Champions League and second or third in the league. It is not to blame for the situation.It has taken the responsibility to lead to a flawed that he has not chosen template . Florentino Perez, Jose Angel Sanchez and sports management decided a few days ago that Zidane lead the restructuring of players for next season. They would consult with him the necessary signings. But the defeat against Atletico has exacerbated the feeling of helplessness experienced team of disappointing draws against Betis and Malaga, so that the future of the coach is not assured . Zidane himself put the question after the defeat in the derby.
The technician is blamed lack of firmness to impose some seasoned players who do not comply strategies, especially defensively, he commands . Some soft hand betrays that closeness so closely with the template, which is considered to be not good.
"Zizou", as they call veterans, is not stupid and in the derby and took drastic measures , because the crisis team starts comérsele him. She sat James and Isco, two zeros in front of Simeone, ys Acco Luke and Jesse order to open the field and gain speed.

No untouchables

The head of the squad did not find the equalizer with the changes, but sent a message : It will take eleven to holders who do not deserve such consideration , before you remove him from the bench. It is disappointed with the lack of sacrifice and reaction of some of his men. I did not expect this lack of resources and much disability, physical and technical.
Zidane must earn his continuance in office next year. If you reach at least the semifinals of the Champions League and finished second or third in the league, will remain in the post the next Emporada. If in quarterfinals at the European Cup and he is fourth in the Spanish championship, their future will be in the eaves, like many players.

You do not wind the team

The French can pay a high price for a crisis that he has not generated .Florentino Perez had to put on the table its white letter two years earlier than desired. For the president was not ideal given the opportunity to a novice at a difficult time. And the premiere of Zidane at the highest level has reaffirmed the urgent need for a change in the template that can arrollarle him.

The choices depend on the Champions

Real Madrid president heard for the third time this season the cries of "Florentino, resign!" And the presidential elections scheduled for June 2017 , have now become a point of interest annex to the football crisis. The opposition and an important sector of Real Madrid general accused of bad sports management, based on big signings and marketing without planning playing style and template. Therefore it requests that the elections be brought forward one year to celebrate in June. The leader is the one who should make that decision.
Initially he planned to sell out his mandate until 2017 and then be called to the polls. The results can be varied sports that position initial. The European Cup will mark the club calendar.
If Real Madrid makes a good Champions 2017 will remain as election date. However, if the team fell in the quarterfinals of the continental competition and also end up third or fourth in the league, the head of the entity meditate this advance of the elections.

Endorse 87 million

Real Madrid is a sports club, is not SA, and the Sports Act requires endorse 15 percent of the budget, 87 million euros, as that of the 2015-16 season amounted to 581 555 000 , to be candidate presidency. Florentino Perez is scheduled to perform, either now or in 2017, and his candidacy brakes that other candidates dare to step forward.

Two months out

Miguel Indurain sees Contador, Valverde or Itching with serious medal options in Rio 2016

Miguel Indurain, who won five Tour de France and a gold medal in the individual time trial at the 1996 Summer Olympics, assessed the chances of Alberto Contador, Alejandro Valverde and Joaquim Rodriguez in the demanding layout of Rio 2016 champion sees Navarre one of the Spaniards with serious medal options.

Miguel Indurain, one of the largest in the history of Spanish sport, ended his brilliant career with a gold in the Atlanta '96 Games (USA), where he won the time trial. That, after scoring five times in succession (1991-1995) the most prestigious race in the world: the Tour de France . And other two Giro d'Italia (1992-93).

In an interview held Tuesday in Madrid in the presentation of the 'Santander Triathlon Series' circuit Spanish popular triathlon, Navarre astro said various related aspects, especially with their Olympic memories and expectations of success you can have the Spanish cycling at the Games in Rio de Janeiro next August.

What references have circuit rider Games Rio?

The only reference I have is that the circuit is very hard road. That of the 'lap' I do not know how, but I know that the road is very demanding. It's for someone who is very fit and that up pretty well.

The circuit has two parts, one that is going to an area of ​​great mountain and then returning, flatter, to the finish area. I talked to Javier Minguez (Spanish cycling coach) and a corridor; and they told me that references it is that is demanding.

Then will influence the time of year, as the Games will be after the Tour; so can be considered a complicated time.

What Spanish or Spanish go with options medal? It ​​depends on how they come, because I do not know if they will arise focus on reaching either there or get well the Tour. Or to get right the Vuelta (Spain) ... Everyone chooses what time pursues find their peak form. But if they come at a good time, we have co n options (Alejandro) Valverde, is (Joaquim) Purito (Rodriguez) is (Alberto) Contador .. have a nice people.

The point is hit to get fit and that it may go well all year. Because you have to spend the Giro ... people going to the Giro; the Tour, those going to the Tour ... we must first spend many competitions before getting there.

How do you see the season in general? There are games, but in theory, win the Tour is always more important, right? Well, the Tour itself, because it is every year; and it has much impact. But they are increasingly impact the Olympics, especially if you have options. If the circuit is hard, as now, and you have options, you prepare. Not only as the main target, but try that in what will be the season, get in the best way possible. Games are becoming more prestige in the world of cycling.

He won Olympic gold in the time trial in Atlanta, but is remembered more for the five Tours and two Giros. How do you remember, however, its success in those games?

Well, it depends on the country you go. There are countries where it does not follow both the Tour and the Giro. And yet, an Olympic medal and that sounds to them more. I competed in two Olympic Games: in Los Angeles '84 (also in US ) of 'amateur', no options; and then Atlanta. Yes there prepared the season with the aim of reaching the best possible. Obviously, I focused more on the Tour. But I wanted to be fit for the Games. And the truth is that it was a great joy to get that gold medal.

Maradona dreams of returning to Napoli: "If I go there, I do it to win"

Napoli is fighting hand to hand with Juventus at the top of Serie A and for people is impossible not to dream of the conquest of the Scudetto, something that has not happened since the 1989/90 season, when the reigning Diego Armando Maradona. in fact, even the very Fluff is excited with the time the team recognizes that changed his outlook on the coach Maurizio Sarri , and does not hide his desire to return to the club at some point.

While the technician had criticized in September for the first results in the tournament, Diez explained his position. " I respect Maurizio forever, but I'm a fan of Napoli and I want to win every Sunday , " he said in remarks to the program In Casa Napoli, and said about it : "At that time not yet ruled the locker room, now created a team He play's very well".

"We have Sarri and not touched , " said Diego when asked if he would like to lead Napoli, but later confessed that he could return to the institution in some other function: "If I go there I do to win, I would not go holiday . it would be the guarantee for the tifosi. De Laurentiis always says he wants to talk, but I've seen three or four times and never did. I hope not hide more, I like talking face to face ... ".

Maradona also took the opportunity to refer to the criticism of De Laurentiis against Gonzalo Higuain . "The pressure to speak of his field players the coach is concerned: this is what could save , " he said.

And finally, he stressed his opinion on the new president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino: "He is a traitor and that all will learn. The United States is not yet finished with the investigation into FIFA. He knew all the papers Platini and Blatter, you not hear anything? If so, or are you stupid or pussy. it's there only to defend his boss Michel ".

Barcelona: It is time to rotate Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez

Barcelona overcame Sevilla on Sunday (2-1) and gave an almost definitive blow to the Liga to be at 8 points of Atletico Madrid and 12 of Real Madrid . However, despite the victory, they were worrying signs during times where the Sevilla deserved something more.

Lionel Messi needed just their usual sparkle to change the sign of the party. A goal kick canceled out of Vitolo and a cinch with Luis Suarez finished with the goal of Pique that it would end the three points. But there were reasons for concern in Argentina. In the last 20 minutes, just he participated. He looked tired, limp, unwilling or powerless to boot into the as lethal cons of this Barcelona. Neymar ended in pain and Suarez did not stay standing after his last race. And the burden of minutes becoming worrying for the trident.

In the match against Sevilla , Luis Enrique rested Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic , ushering Busquets, Arda and Sergi Roberto . With this once, the Spaniard technician used his 17th different half of the season. More rotations have been on the defensive line. Of the 46 official meetings, 25 different combinations have been on the pitch. But above, the story is different. Messi. Neymar and Suarez almost untouchable. Despite being injured two months, the Argentine has played 33 games this season, one less than Neymar (34) and six fewer than Suarez (39). While Rakitic (42) is the player most games played, loading Croat minutes it is less than the trident, as they tend to finish all their matches.

After passing with flying a difficult week with Arsenal and Sevilla, Barcelona now faces three games in ten days. Rayo Vallecano in Vallecas (Thursday 3rd, 21:00), Eibar in Ipurua (Sunday , 6, 16.00) and Getafe in the Camp Nou (Saturday 12, 16.00) will be rivals Barca before beginning another difficult week, with Arsenal in the return of the knockout stages of the Champions League (Wednesday 16, 20.45) and visit to Villarreal (Sunday 20th, 16.00). With this background, these three parties, at affordable priori, are the perfect setting to rest any of the Blaugrana attackers.

Luis Enrique hardly let them all out, for lack of logic but also for lack of alternatives. However, the formula for three games and three substitutions would not be far - fetched, resting one on each of the three games. The important part of the season is approaching, the time where you decide, especially in Europe, if you are aspiring or you stay on the road. Repeat the treble is still a reality, but, as said Cristiano Ronaldo , you need the best. And, no doubt, Messi, Suarez and Neymar are, today, the best strikers in the world.

Real Madrid's plan: Zidane, Champions and "tranquility"

" It is likely that this summer signings are needed, there are changes, even with the coach ...". He who utters these words is nothing less than Zinedine Zidane , at a press conference minutes after falling against Atletico (0-1) last Saturday.

While from the media and madridismo general heads and a major refurbishment is urgently calling on the noble floor of the Santiago Bernabeu is paid to the lessons of Zinedine Zidane, as well as the hopes and dreams planted in the Champions League. They have their reasons. On the one hand, it would not be the first season in which Real Madrid just reigning in Europe after saying goodbye prematurely Spanish championship. On the other hand, the Frenchman is hardly a newcomer, heir to vices and above defects, and a figure that is believed in Concha Espina as a cornerstone for a long-term, and not a simple patch to cover eventual dismissal.

So, the answer from Concha Espina is always the same to all questions and concerns among fans huddle: What about the future of Zidane? "Tranquility". What about drift team? "Tranquility". What will happen to the future composition of the workforce? "Tranquility". What about the claims of the public to the Directive? "Tranquility". What could happen in the team following statements by Cristiano Ronaldo ? "Tranquility".

Bad weather, good face, they say. Given the inclement strong, confident that everything will end fixing and the sun will shine. Even this season. Nobody hides and Real Madrid that the League is virtually impossible -the first, the technician himself, but the dream is still alive Eleventh. And there blind confidence that the team will trace the flight and will improve compared to that seen so far. Starting this Wednesday against Levante, and continuing for the tie against Roma within a week pending certification. Those are the greatest obsessions and urgencies in Concha Espina, today. Above all else, tranquility.

Mission centered for  Juventus : victory after two consecutive draws (in league and Champions League) and above, plus four momentary over Napoli tomorrow night will have to see if the externally against Fiorentina. The Bianconeri, from a rose of excellent workmanship, manage to prevail against an ' Inter  little dangerous in attack, punishable by a lightness of D'Ambrosio and, indeed, the long bench license plate Old Lady. And think about the third place, considering also climbing in Rome and Milan, for the Nerazzurri begins to become a daring thought.
NO SURPRISE  - Allegri recovers Chiellini and Alex Sandro for the match against Inter, both absent against Bayern Monaco, deployed from the first minute in the derby of Italy. Mancini, however, finds Kondogbia and loses the suspended Brozovic.Juventus on the field with Buffon in goal; Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini to dial the rear package, Lichtsteiner on the right lane and Alex Sandro on the left-handed; Hernanes in the control room for the injured Marchisio, supported by tactical sense of Khedira and the genius of Pogba; Mandzukic in attack assisted by Dybala.
Inter mirror: Handanovic in goal; Murillo, Miranda and Juan Jesus in defense;D'Ambrosio to grind kilometers on the right wing and same tasks for Telles on the left;density in midfield with former Felipe Melo, Medel and Kondogbia; Palacio (preferred Eder) to support the depth of Icardi in attack.
PRESSING BIANCONERO  - Hernanes, after an excellent proposal performance against Bayern Monaco, won a jersey holder accomplice Marchisio's injury; and, briefly, this move does not reveal immediately the lighting of the evening: powerful left touched by Handanovic on the pole. The Bianconeri take great courage and, on the axis Mandzukic-Dybala, by a whisker hosts do not find the advantage.
The Old Lady turns up the heat, great density in midfield and wide outside, guests in clear difficulty. The Prophet, thanks to a favorable physical and mental condition, repeatedly testing the conclusion, in short, anything but the player compared to that seen pre Bayern Monaco. Juventus created here and there, constantly Mandzukic at the forefront of physicality, an important weapon for high balls to climb over the Nerazzurri midfield. The Mancini's men try to show up with some kick, never finding fertile ground against a well positioned defense.

Belenenses - FC Porto, 1-2

Dragon boat came to a successful conclusion, once more, but this trip to the waterfront Tejo walked excessively on cruising speed and risked to let catch by a caravel that started the trip with two holes in the deck and ended up paying for it , despite the good subsequent reaction.
The final difference was shorter than come to think, yet Porto added a third consecutive victory in the league (and third consecutive win in the Lisbon area), and threw the pressure on rivals in this race for the title.
With 19 minutes played, José Peseiro seemed to have assured victory, even without much speed. It only took advantage of the children's errors of house team, punished not by the bold way he always tried to go out to play, but for obvious defensive weakness.
Keen to take advantage of a rebound in the area and the failure to cover the central Belenenses, Brahimi gave advantage to FC Porto when they were met only nine minutes. The home team also outlined a reaction with a shot from Strurgeon, but after 19 minutes returned to meter water with Tonel to head into his own net after Maxi crossing.
Unable to get around the high pressure FC Porto, and intraquilo the defensive level, Belenenses seemed unable to counter the tide. Although Carlos Martins has thrown the post on the half-hour, free kick.
Soon after Brahimi reappeared with danger outside the penalty area (30m), but before the break Belenenses sought to relaunch the game, albeit unsuccessfully, through two occasions Juanto.
Velázquez covered his hole
At half Julio Velázquez he refrained from Tonel and released Miguel Rosa, which allowed the Belenenses improve especially in midfield where Bakic, who started on the left, joined Aguilar and Carlos Martins.
Indented central Reuben Pinto began to reveal some confusion in the opening minutes of the second half, to just let escape Suk, who nevertheless saw Ventura deny him the ball home.
But Belenenses improvements were confirmed shortly after, when Juanto took a late crossing Geraldes and reduced the difference in marker.
Porto responded with a strike in an effort to Herrera, after a cross from Corona, but it was definitely packed by cruise and could not wake up. The bad input Marega not helped, with Evandro then also unable to shake, so it was necessary to Iker Casillas apply to hold the FC Porto's advantage before dangerous shots of Miguel Rosa (71m) and Geraldes (72m).
Velázquez also launched Tiago Caeiro, the man who pulled the FC Porto's title last season, but the last chance of the game belonged to Bakic, with a shot from outside the area that was close to reward good second part of the home team.
Porto leaned too much to the advantage achieved in the initial phase of the encounter but eventually ensure the triumph, thus throwing the pressure to rival Lisbon, who play on Monday and then face the next round. The team of José Peseiro can take advantage of this derby, while the next day have a difficult trip to Braga.

Without further highlight at the meeting, Undiano Mallenco pointed the way to the locker room and to terminate a draw that gives some air to both teams looking for permanence.
