Lahm: "Ancelotti is the perfect man for Bayern"

Everyone knows the phenomenon: Someone tells you about a new song and from that moment on the radio sounds up to five times the same day. It is a matter of attention. Because of my work my personal attention is directed to the football. When I watch the news, for example, I recognize children with shirts Barcelona , Manchester United , Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Regarding our tour of the United States is important to reflect on it. All those little Cristiano Ronaldos, Franck Riberys or Neymars whether in India or in USA- make football is visible worldwide. For a big club like Bayern, with all these fans around the world, comes an obligation. Many people highlighted the burden tour ten days with very long flights and three games in three different cities. And of course, these trips are exhausting. But I am convinced that anyone, after seeing the euphoria in Asia or the Intercontinental Cup in Africa , will question the meaning of our journey.

Because the most important thing is the fans football ; and they are all over the world today. Come every game on television or online. Travel to these countries are amazing, I love all these children can watch their team live someday. The games are held in places where fans feel identified with us . This -within the framework of possibilities- creates a feeling of closeness. On the other hand experencia for us it is great too. We have the opportunity to learn many new things and have the ability to learn new cultures and lifestyles.

Especially the big clubs in Europe have to look beyond not think only of themselves and reflect. These trips help a lot and establish important new insights . Before leaving the United States a party in Landshut and three days later another game in Chicago against AC Milan. This is the balance that Bayern have to try to do. Internationalization and identity. The right balance.

Only a few people are able to do as does Carlo Ancelotti . After two weeks of practice I can say that he is the perfect coach for Bayern Munich in this facet. He is Italian and had trained in Milan , London, Paris and Madrid, winning several national and international titles. He has a good relationship with the players and is happy to work here. This gives players a very good feeling.

I hope to meet a good atmosphere during our tour of North America. The number of people wearing the shirt of Bayern on our arrival at the airport was definitely promising. I'm looking forward to arriving matches here in Chicago, Charlotte and New York!

Bolivia meet his new coach on Wednesday

The Federation Boliviana Football Federation (FBF) announced that on Wednesday appointed the new coach of the Bolivian national team that will get ready to face Peru and Chile for the South American qualifiers towards Russia 2018.

Members of the Executive Committee of the FBF will meet this Wednesday (09.00) in Cochabamba with the National Teams Committee to elect a new coach for the Green.

Since July 4, when Julio Cesar Baldivieso was removed from command of the Bolivian team, the Green does not have a coach is why it is urgent that the FBF choose his successor for the matches against Peru, La peace (September 1), and Chile in Santiago (September 6).

The leading candidate to be the new coach of Bolivia's Eduardo Villegas, but are also on the list Mauricio Soria , Angel Guillermo Hoyos and with less chance Gustavo Alfaro and Cesar Farias .

Sampaoli expects another call AFA: double command in sight?

Night falls in Europe and Jorge Sampaoli feel a tremendous honor: a distance, talking to his brother and bursts of joy upon learning that on September 2, La Renga will play in Casilda, in the Alumni Club, the social center of his lifetime. Not a single day, or Seville or Orlando , where he was last week, or Germany, where he is now to play some friendly, they forget the afternoon when, as being coach, was fired and left the court, climbed a tree and, from there, gave indications.

"I am a conqueror" explains and many laugh thinking a romantic, but it is not a literary exaggeration: he who when passing through Buenos Aires leaves aside the likes of establishment and goes to prison in Ezeiza to visit his friend Pato Fontanet and goes through life, discovering stories and trying to change them . So when the phone from one of the advisers of Armando Perez commenting sounds that are interested in chatting with him, the head is shaken and is waiting for you to confirm when the meeting will be.

The reality show on which it is immersed story about who will be the coach of the Argentina team still ongoing. Armando Perez, FIFA appointed head of the standard commission of AFA, a kind of auditor, said they would meet with a number of coaches and does, raising, in the middle, the dust that leaves every encounter.

Edgardo Bauza and Miguel Angel Russo and went through agape Perez, Victor Taboada -Manager TSU Cosmetics and adviser to the president of Belgrano, Santo Biasatti -presentador different programs Clarin Group and Fernando Marin , director of football for all, informally spokesman Mauricio Macri in AFA: ie talks with a single leader elected by the club members and no specialist in this sport. The names coming, then, on the agenda were Diego Simeone , Jorge Sampaoli, Marcelo Bielsa and Mauricio Pochettino . After first telephone conversations, the extécnico of Chile tops the odds.

Simeone and ruled Pochettino dealt with : the Atletico Madrid warned via Marin -being Blanquiceleste holder, a company that I manage to Racing Club , the man the government gave the Cholo its first charge as coach - who rejected the attempt; "There is no chance that move me , " said the Tottenham in a press conference. Berizzo, when receiving a call, suggested that should talk with the leadership of Celta. With Bielsa's all more complicated: "We are seeing how we find Bielsa We are trying to confirm this because it is a matter of time He is in Rosario and I find it a little difficult to go Bielsa is like all the candidates I have not spoken..... but a person close did. Do you feel like? Well, I dunno. I want to hang out with him and listen to him . " Sampaoli then grows.

Sampaoli has a contract with Sevilla and a provision of 8.1 million euros to get out of there, at least until June 2017. That has formally two options: someone pay or direct the two teams at once , as they once did Selection Guillermo Stabile between Argentina and Racing. Perez said in a radio that's a possibility contemplated . From the coach environment, they have no plans, but can not confirm because, of course, still there was no meeting where the AFA sit with him and announce what they intended. Since that time, you think about that part of his coaching staff work on a system to constantly browse the players of Argentina and stay in Seville until June 2017, being with the team in playoff games and training in the previous days.

The former coach of Chile has the endorsement of Perez, Daniel Angelici, Marin and although it is a little displaced, with Tinelli . Since AFA, they are arranged to think out of legal mechanisms to Sevilla. But his greatest treasure is its relationship with Messi and respect that Javier Mascherano has to him. He met 10 at the FIFA gala for the Golden Ball where both were awarded. And above all, there chatted first with George, Dad Argentina captain, who returned to talks in the last month.

But the phone for now, again not sound and the big rumor that was going to be the coach left the AFA sector and not his. The reality show will, as anticipated Perez, who continue to have meetings. Double command or not, do not be alarmed too. Although the idea of Argentina give him round the head, for now, the great joy is that La Renga will play in his hometown.

"I am very honored and grateful for the reference of the leadership in general, for the country by asking fans to be the coach, it is a recognition of the work you do," Villegas said.

But Villegas would not want to continue improvising as hitherto done, with calls and training a few days before a match, the coach wants planning to see results in court.

"It is complicated because we need more time to work, that working time must be more organized," added the coach to know that for the game against the Bolivian national team Peruvians only have seven days to assemble the team.

Armando Perez: "I'm not going to ask Messi by coach of the national team"

Clear that the leader it is today the AFA does not want to downplay the opinion of Leo , but not part of the decision . "What interests me above all is whether Messi will return to play for national team. 40 million Argentines want to return, also an economic issue."

As for meetings with Bauza and Russo, President of Belgrano said: There are a number of coaches is reasonable to be interviewed. Bally not anyone. If Caruso says it is not less than Bauza and Russo, right. "

Perez also put in race three leading technicians who are leading in Europe, although it cooled things. "Both Sampaoli, Simeone or Pochettino have a chance. But let us add more names. We do not have enough money to hire a coach as we did earlier in AFA ".

And Bielsa? "I have not spoken with Marcelo on the phone. I could not. But I wanted to meet , " he admitted. Search continues.

Julen Lopetegui, new coach of the Spanish football team

The Royal Spanish Football Federation announced Thursday the hiring of Julen Lopetegui as new coach of Spain . The Basque coach will be the heir of Vicente Del Bosque , who decided not to renew his contract after eight years in office.

Lopetegui, who began his career in the dugout in the Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid Castilla, and worked for some years as coach of the federation between 2010 and 2014, which was coach of the Under-19 categories, Sub- 20 and U-21.

Lazio has only 11 subscribers for a stadium of 70,000 spectators

The Italian team lives as grim moment until his own hobby is giving back to new levels.

Despite always live in the shadow of Rome , much more popular in the Italian capital (rather than on the periphery), the Lazio can be considered one of the biggest teams in Italy . Two league titles in its history (which could become three if successful a very curious appeal presented to grant him a century after the title of 1915), abundant Italian Cups, one European title, years giving battle in Serie A and one important social mass (although somewhat linked to right - wing ideologies) are assets that can boast. Or at least he could so far as this last point is disputed by the unfortunate result of the season ticket campaign for the season will start.

The blanquicelestes opened their offices on Tuesday 19 July for partners to renew their identity cards of the season. That same day, at the time of closure of the offices, only 11 followers had done . The figure is unofficial, because shame the club has not made ​​them public; is known by the leak of an employee and confirmed by the silence of the leaders , when asked about it , and with no movement of fans who saw the press in the vicinity of the offices.

Whereas the Lazio play at home in the Olympic Stadium in Rome, with 72,698 seats available , it is safe to indicate that it is an absolute failure. And the main culprit seems to be the president of the organization, Claudio Lotito , who just celebrated his 12 years in office. Although has to his credit with the odd title (particularly highlights the Coppa Italia in 2013, which won in the end neither more nor less than the Roma), the fans are sick of it.

The leader accuse him of not being able to assemble a team up to the club . The main figures, as Candreva or Keita , intend to leave the template and spare parts that sound are not at all exciting; in fact, at this point it has not confirmed the signing of any new player. As little far this preseason, also has experienced a grotesque episode with the frustada hiring of Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa , who lasted only 48 hours in the place: almost as soon as he signed he left saying that they had not fulfilled some promises he did, including the arrival of at least four players before 5 July. Restore the position to Simone Inzaghi , a man of the house that interim coach and was in other times and on the lawn scored thirty goals for the Eagles , was intended to be sold as "recover the essence", but has rather given feeling botched emergency.

So nefarious considers the fans being the recent management Lotito has not only boycotted the renewal of fertilizers, but has flooded the city with graffiti against him and has even organized demonstrations to ask you to leave and "free Lazio". Last year, the Lazio finished in eighth place with only 54 points, 37 below the champion ( Juventus ) and 28 unless the hated Rome, and far from any option of entering European competitions . If there is a radical change in the coming weeks, the omens for this season are much worse.

photographs showing the reality of the Olympic Games

In October of 2009 the streets of Rio de Janeiro flooded celebrations. All little celebration was a dream that represented years of illusion: the city be chosen to organize the 2016 Olympic Games, the first in South America. A decision that definitively placed Brazil as the center of the sports world with the World Cup in 2014.

Through tears, the then President of Brazil Lula da Silva, the main promoter of the Olympic dream, proclaims that "these people deserved that opportunity. Having been colonized had the habit of being small, if not important" and confessed that day was "the most exciting of my life. I will start to work for the Olympic Games tomorrow, not after tomorrow, but tomorrow" he said.

It has already happened since that moment of euphoria and the country's situation is very different. The march of Dilma Rousseff. A sports minister in office. In the midst of an economic crisis. The insecurity. It seems that discouragement appropriates increasingly Brazilians, to the point that 50% oppose the Olympics and 63% think it will do more harm than good, as revealed by the newspaper O Globo.

As if this were not enough, a photograph circulating on social networks has filled the glut of Brazilians:



For many this picture clearly describes the reality of these Olympics: a vagrant sleeping next to a bridge where you can see the logo of Rio 2016 with a phrase that the author of the photograph Felipe Barcellos questioned: "A new world, insurance?".

Some questioned the veracity of the image, so also released a video where it is clear that there is no manipulation. Although it hurts, this is the reality of the country.



In May, a few weeks before leaving the presidency, Dilma Rousseff said that "Brazil will be able, living with a difficult period, critical for its history and democracy", of being "the best host the Olympic Games ever known" . And no doubt that the people will give the warmest of welcomes all athletes and spectators that accompany this great event.

The main question is what will happen when after the closing ceremony of the Paralympics the world stop looking at Brazil.
