If everyone was to my level we would go first

Cristiano Ronaldo has not digested well defeat against neighbours Atletico Madrid and has not bitten his tongue in the mixed zone Bernabeu after the dispute derby. The Luso has been advocated by criticism of its performance and has hidden behind several holders absences to justify poor performance of the team , third in the league.

" Every year , according to the press seems I'm in the shit , but the numbers and statistics do not lie , " has defended Cristiano, who added a somewhat surprising statement considering his recent performances: " If everyone had my level . We would be the first . "

The Portuguese believes that injuries and consequent casualties are hurting the team, but wanted to point out that this was not belittling those who have played in place of the injured , "I do not mean that Jese, Luke, who Kovacic are not good, they are very good but in Karim, Pepe or Bale is more complicated. In addition, the pre - season travel in July was not the best for the team. Many things you have to think to analyze what happens. "

"I am excited for the Champions League, but in the Champions League if you do not have the best do not win , " he acknowledged, before giving its peculiar version of the match: "We had more chances and deserved to win.The League was already complicated and it gets harder. "

Cristiano Ronaldo shoots discretion

Portuguese criticises the preseason, says the medical team and says that despite everything, "Zidane are better than before"

Cristiano Ronaldo criticizes its excessive verbal leaving a bias arrogance not like Zidane or the Madrid dressing room . "If all (his companions) were at my level we would the first in the league maybe." They were words to fend off criticism of his performance. Ramos threw a cloak later, but the fire was unstoppable after the derby . These demonstrations, product of a heater ( "the Spanish press always attacks me") left in second position other much deeper and harsh reflections. The striker fired the organization of the preseason, Dr. Olmo, the lower level of the substitutes and accusations against the team. These were his shots.

Pre-campaign travel

Ronaldo assessed after the defeat in the derby that the situation was worrisome Real Madrid long before this match, due to low and poor planning of the preseason. Straight to the point. " I do not know if many injuries are bad luck or poor initial management, but we hurt a lot and now we are paying the bill." A few weeks ago he said that "the preseason with many trips it is not best to prepare for a season."

Reviews Dr. Olmo and medical staff

In the opinion on the pre - campaign and launched an attack against the medical staff, a charge also made ​​by other players, with Ramos to mind: "There are many injuries and win a long competition think a team needs the best ."

Disparagement alternate

The Portuguese said that in his analysis did not despise anyone, but inadvertently has done: "All the Real Madrid players are good, but we missed Benzema, Bale, Pepe and Marcelo . I like to play with them. When not, it is more difficult. Without underestimating anyone. "

The team is not so bad

Christian argued that " the team is better than it was " a clear defence Zidane and a veiled criticism Benitez: "" Real Madrid is not so bad. Atletico Madrid has not exceeded. He took a chance and took it and we had several and did not score. That was the difference. The league is lost and the Champions us is. We are motivated and we will go for it. "

The unprecedented explosion of Lacen

The Getafe player Mehdi Lacen has made ​​some harsh statements after the match that his team lost 4-0 against UD Las Palmas in Gran Canaria to indicate microphones Movistar Plus: "We are a shit team, we will second head " .

The French-Algerian midfielder all Madrid starred in the play of the second locally by intercepting hands a shot Jonathan Viera, representing the penalty that turned the player grancanario team result with which it came to rest.

Meanwhile, his partner Pablo Sarabia Getafe acknowledged that "is touched in a difficult situation , " but the template must be united, "because there issurplus equipment to save, but you have to start and win ."

Getafe conceded their seventh straight defeat in La Liga , and in the last six games has failed to score a single goal. The last was scored by Moi Gómez in the visit to Granada (3-2), so they are already accumulating 566 minutes on the computer without puncturing the opposite goal.

Real Madrid great disappointment

The fans could take no more. From goal Griezmann whistles against Real Madrid, which featured an image of impotence concern arose. The Whites failed again before an important team like he did against Barcelona, ​​Villarreal and Sevilla. The club president the brunt of the anger was, with cries of "Florentino, resign!". But the players their share of blame were also taken , with a great blast in the game and end. The arrogant manifestation of Christian did not change the target against the team .

Real Madrid without solutions or character

Real Madrid left the fans disenchanted, contorted coach and worried the president and his managers. The lack of solutions Zinedine pupils to overcome the pressure of Atletico was alarming. The absence of character and claw certain professionals is disturbing.

Team leaders know the system of Argentine and neither Benitez nor Zidane, nor these players can escape that "pressing". They left after two pure extremes, Luke and Jesse, and there was no reaction. The fear is that the Merengues not know what to do against Atletico.

Real Madrid president, disappointed

Florentino Perez has not spoken publicly, but in his heart is long disenchanted with the performance of several players who have not demonstrated character and level to play at Real Madrid. He thinks that, in some cases, their efforts to ficharles not been reciprocated.

James and Isco, missing in action

Real Madrid gradually sank in the absence of James and Isco football, lost amid the tangle of Simeone destructive. They were not seen in the field, unable to react. They were pitados to be replaced. Modric and Kroos, at least, they tried unsuccessfully.

Gianni Infantino, new FIFA president

The Swiss Gianni Infantino , the right hand of disabled Michel Platini UEFA, is since this afternoon FIFA president after winning the second round of voting, a total of 115 supporters, the Arab Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa , which he brought together 88.

Since the first vote of the day at Hallenstadion, Switzerland became clear that Infantino and Salman were the favorites to fill the position vacated by Sepp Blatter also disabled. However, in the second ballot the Swiss won almost all the votes had achieved in the first Frenchman Jerome Champagne and Prince Ali.

Now, with the head Infantino, FIFA hopes to regain lost credibility in recent months by corruption scandals that forced the resignation of Joseph Blatter.

The candidate who filed the UEFA becomes the ninth president of the institution and the successor to Blatter, just nine months after it obtained its fifth reelection.

The election, nearly six hours after the Congress approve "in full" the changes proposed by the Reform Committee , imposed the new president the task of leading the renewal of an institution that needs to urgently clean up its image to avoid drain sponsors.

The importance of a vote that was expected uncertain until the end spoke movements that made the frontrunners until the last minute.

If both Al Khalifa yesterday as Infantino toured by meetings of all confederations to convince undecided on the morning of the election would not leave anything to chance.

Protests against Salman

In anticipation of protests of human rights groups, who have denounced the presence of Sheikh Salman on the committee identified 15 athletes participating in the demonstrations of 2011, a small number of "fans" with perfectly made banners with the same photo Arab candidate, launched in favor of the Bahraini messages in the moments before.

These replaced them later, a small group of little less than a dozen opponents of the Bahraini regime displayed banners with photos of the tortured, while shouting: " Salman, dictator ."

Then, during the Congress, the decision to take the vote to Kuwait and Indonesia, two Asian federations suspended by government interference, which were supposed to support Al Khalifa- provoked protest Arab Emirates Jordan and asked, unsuccessfully, that that disqualification would vote. It was not a minor issue, because it reduced to a simple majority 104 votes with which one of the candidates should be imposed in the last round.

During the turn of speech of candidates, there were no surprises with Prince Ali and Jerome Champagne, which did not change the speech exposed during his campaign.

Al Khalifa directly attacked his rival, Infantino, without naming who accused him of promising impossible given the financial situation of FIFA. "I will not mortgage the FIFA to get votes , " he said. In response, Infantino displayed his facility for languages ​​, with a message that began in Italian - "the language in which my parents instilled in me values ​​, " he said, and was changing into German, French, Spanish, English, even, a little Portuguese.

Infantino wanted to reach each confederation addressing them in their predominant language. And also he responded to the Khalifa. "During my seven years in the UEFA, UEFA revenues tripled, when I talk about figures, believe me. If FIFA generates 5,000,000,000 why can not be distributed 1.2 billion ?".

The focus, however, stole the South African Tokyo Sexwale , the candidate who did not support nor the African Confederation, after saying he would not withdraw "because a soldier dies with his boots on" consumed 13 minutes of speech explaining their program, before announcing that it would not contest the election.

The other candidates remained after the first election, virtually ruled out Champagne (7 votes) and Prince Ali (27). Infantino rearmed morale to be first with 88 votes, three more than Al Khalifa, who arrived as a favorite to the final day.

And in the game of pacts, Infantino managed followers needed to overcome comfortably simple majority. Meanwhile, Sheikh did not increase more than three votes their expectations, Infantino garnered a total of 27 more.

His arrival to the presidency of FIFA, with 45 years ago to breathe European football, which feared an axle shift to the Asian emergency and you feel good to South America, who bet block by the Swiss candidate, despite doubts end of a federation.

Saez returns 63,000 euros after the scandal in the Spanish Federation

The Administrative Tribunal of Sport (CAS) decided on Friday again postponed until next, March 4, the study of a possible opening of dossiers to the presidents of football federations (RFEF), Angel Maria Villar , and basketball ( FEB), José Luis Sáez , after studying the documents sent by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) on 11 February.

"The Court is deliberating, more time for reflection is needed and it is left for longer decision. They are very complex issues that need time to think , " said the presiding judge, Arnaldo Alcubilla , who denied that there was external pressure to take a decision.

"Pressure can not admit that we have, because we could not solve. No court can admit pressures," said Arnaldo sharp, after leaving a meeting that lasted nearly three hours.

On February 11 the CSD documentation sent both cases, FEB RFEF and requesting the opening of disciplinary proceedings for the president of the Football Federation, Angel Maria Villar, and his deputy Vice President for Economic Affairs,Juan Padrón . The same request was asked for the president of the Basketball Federation, José Luis Sáez, and its secretary general and chief economist, Luis Gimenez.

On the RFEF, the CSD referred to CAS cases Recreativo de Huelva and CD Marino Tenerife-Sur, which identified a supposed "unfairness" and "undermining the principle of equality of clubs" for an alleged deal for both clubs.

In the Federation of Basketball, sending Case CSD to CAS was made after reviewing the allegations of the federative leaders denouncing the president of the Catalan Federation, after which the Council considered that there could be a "imputation of private expenditure the accounts of the Federation and the federative misuse of funds. "

With that documentation, on February 19, seven members of the court left the decision for a week later, after meeting for nearly three hours to discuss the requests submitted by the CSD, which requested the initiation of administrative proceedings to both presidents.

José Luis Sáez returned after the scandal broke, the more than 63,000 euros charged in particular the budget of the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) costs, which could lead Friday to the Administrative Tribunal of Sport (CAS) to agree their temporary suspension.

The defense of Saez after the complaint filed with the Superior Sports Council (CSD) by the Audit Committee, Monitoring and Control of the accounts of the FEB last November 27 is based on three pillars, as has been know this newspaper.

Thus, it has been alleged that the accounts are audited and approved by the appropriate body, which has already returned the money under suspicion by bank transfer and it was a way of habitual action impute personal expenses to the FEB that refunded with -some later with nearly a belatedly decade.

Asked by this newspaper, a spokesman for the Federation dodged provide details on the allegations made. "They have it sent data who have requested it, which is the maximum establishment of Spanish sport" he said.

The TAD must decide at its meeting on Friday whether to take a decision against Jose Luis Saez, after the CSD to refer the case last February 11 when assessing an alleged misuse of funds although these were compensated after exploding the case FEB .

The Cardinal Miguel presiding body has simply request the opening of disciplinary proceedings for basketball honcho, but the reviewing body of the federal activity could go further and agree to the temporary suspension of trade. But it would be the first time in his two years of life that the TAD provisionally suspended a president without the CSD has requested explicitly.

As unveiled the world last December 11, the Control Committee of the accounts of the FEB Audit, Monitoring and made aware of Cardinal Jose Luis Saez had yet to submit bills for 29,428 euros in expenses incurred cards (VISA and American Express) Caja Madrid between 2006 and 2010.

In other 33,907.76 euros that amount that the Federation would advance Saez for the performance of their duties and whose destination that "there would be justified 'when the complaint was lodged, although it had elapsed up to nine years were added. The sum of both concepts total 63,336.64 euros.

The CAS ruling will occur before the end of the follow-up audit ordered by the CSD and has put on review FEB accounts between 2009 and 2015, more than half of the stage Sáez as president She took office in late 2004-.

In parallel, the CSD has authorized the Basketball Federation ahead to the first quarter the beginning of the electoral process to renew its governing bodies in the second, as asked Saez to Cardinal rejoined the day after two months of medical leave. In its mandatory report, the CAS considers "very convenient regularize the situation of the FEB as soon as possible."

The proposed electoral calendar fixed June 20 the day of the election of the new president, which no longer will choose Saez after nearly 12 years in office. His successor will be released on the eve of the national team to concentrate to play the Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Ronaldo rejected by the Pope for only suitable look for the Queen

Ronaldo Nazario wanted the Pope's blessing. It was presented in St. Peter's Square in Rome immaculate with sunglasses, dark suit, white shirt and tie. Every Wednesday Francisco offers public catechesis to the faithful early risers, who struggle to see the pontiff closely. And there was presented the Brazilian star, probably without queuing or be removed before the ticket.

The former striker of Barcelona and Real Madrid held under the winter sun that warms these days the Italian capital, while the Pope threw their darts this time against corrupt politicians as biblical passages and countless priests greeted in countless languages.

An hour later, Ronaldo thought it would behoove the time. Because that's whenJorge Maria Bergoglio received in audience celebrities who have obtained the consent of the Vatican. Francisco photo with trading higher, but among the only snapshots of retired footballer who saw that day was not the bishop of Rome, but two women dressed in white.

They were responsible for the truncated encounter between the Brazilian and Argentine pope phenomenon. A few centimeters separated the handshake between the two, when the Swiss Guard honors fulfilled its mission. Prietas put rows and prevented the two women dressed in pure white came up to the pontiff, who did not see another color. Ronaldo, who was at his side, was collateral victim of the papal protocol rear.

Only a few people have enjoyed the called according to the vaticana- jargon "white privilege". This is, to appear before the pope with a tone so pious as His Holiness.And among them, Queen Letizia and its predecessor Dona Sofia . Other lucky ones also have blue blood, like Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Princess Charlene of Monaco Maria Teresa of Luxembourg.

Tells the story of misfortune Gazzetta dello Sport, a few days before had collected, in an interview with former player, the illusion that was to go to the Vatican. "I will be received by the Pope, with whom I'm sure you end up talking mostly about football. I wear a Brazil shirt, but do not be offended, no?" He wondered.

A Ronaldo was left with no choice but to take back the amarella to 9 and finally no option for offenses. At least by Francisco. Just three weeks earlier, the pope himself who had received Ronaldinho, who appeared in a much less ceremonial form. With the Gaúcho style hat, shirt hanging out and open up to the front buttons, which hung sunglasses. Informal and also white.

Shortly apostle protocol as it really Bergoglio, with former Barca free to embarrass him was taken. "Was it or not water?" He blurted Francisco, referring to an Argentine mysterious drum kit man gave Branco, who suspected to have been drugged during the World Cup in Italy 90. "No, it was not , " joked Ronaldinho . And reaction time, he again approached the pontiff: "Who is better, Pele or Maradona?". Given what this time Ronaldinho remained unanswered.

In La Liga statistics this time,the best goalkeepers Spanish League each season, which are entitled to Ricardo Zamora Trophy. Goalkeeper-greatest goalkeeper ever to win the trophy that was named by the keeper of the legendary Spanish , Ricardo Zamora (1901-1978).

The trophy was awarded to goalkeeper fewest conceded every season. Marca not only the trophy bestowed to the future range. Goalkeeper-keeper of the past, which initially did not get this trophy (since no similar awards), was also given the same degree, and stretch since the first season of La Liga in 1928-1929. The winner of the Zamora Trophy season is Zamora himself, who was it played for Espanyol. Quite unique, Zamora overall 'get' this trophy three times in eight seasons he was active in the Spanish league .

Guardiola overlooks the night out of his players

Pep Guardiola apologized night getaway starring some of his players on Tuesday after the Champions League match in Turin, which drew 2-2. According to the German newspaper Bild, Arturo Vidal , Franck Ribery and David Alaba left the hotel on Tuesday, at dawn, and returned about 06.00 the next morning.

Dorsey switches to Barcelona

Xavi Pascual half - life is spent in an attic. It is decorated with dozens of photos with titles won in his years as coach of Barcelona. Before descending the narrow staircase leading to the track Palau, often look askance snapshots. And it does, perhaps aware that sooner or later, despite the successes pasts, it's time to leave his small temple. At the moment, still he is wringing his head to correct those infinite systems that players saved as they can. And assuming resists, and also claiming that he, and he alone, will be the designated -and despedido- if the season ends again white .

Unpredictable by nature, Barcelona, ​​after leaving derided in the last Copa del Rey, after seeing how Gustavo Ayon - rejected in Palau- just as MVP, changed its face against Olympiakos. And if he did was radically not only by the tremendous eruption of Dorsey (12 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and three assists) , the great success in the outside shot or the involvement of new defensive players. He also had something to do Xavi Pascual, who rescued for the cause Perperoglou and toyed four. And the Greek forward, in addition to sustaining Printezis, traditional whip, finished as top scorer of the match (16 points, the same as Hackett).

While looking arguments put Barca metamorphosis, few as resounding as the oneproposed by Dorsey. The same thing, just after winning the league fled to the NBA, where he returned to Europe with more pain than glory. Former Galatasaray winger, although it was two weeks without competing with its endless biceps dragged to a club that begins to look with new eyes its future in the Euroleague. With 4-4 forward also to Olympiakos who snatched the average of the first leg (+12), shares the fourth place with his next opponent, Khimki . Real Madrid, who won in the first round and must still play at the Palau, is one win away.

The day had not started well, with Abrines in the newly operated hospital for acute appendicitis . Olympiakos, who started walking freely through the Barca area with Spanoulis scoring three consecutive trays (3-10 min. 5) was removed from the track just in time Dorsey replaced Tomic. The Greeks, with the stunning view of the US, are vision blurred, both in attack and defense. Doellman not even matter that go unnoticed to see three fouls in the seventh minute (he closed the evening with valuation -8). Or that Tomic scored his first basket 23 minutes.

Passed a first quarter that Barca ended with a two plus one of Samuels, Barca began to fly before a melted Olympiakos that badly. Spanoulis was immortalized in the bank, and Pascual, this time astillarlos clenched teeth until they held on average as there's no tomorrow. Another world.

Sources familiar with the judicial process Servimedia consulted sportsman recalled having opened two trials. First as a private investor in the amount of 240,000 euros and another through a company owned by another 240,000 euros.
