Colombia became again Colombia

Colombia passed the toughest test since Pekerman came in command of the team. Not in past playoffs , nor indeed in the world, nor in the America 's Cup , the team had so much pressure to get good results.

And it is that after the slow start of World Cup qualifying course Russia, coupled with a dismal performance in the Copa America last year, the pressure on the group, and especially on the coaching staff, was too strong.

From the fans, to press the pressure was intense. The poor results in the first four dates forced Colombia to get good results in these two dates, against two very tough opponents: Bolivia in La Paz and Ecuador in Barranquilla. Otherwise, it would be compromised the World Cup qualifying, and even the continuity of Pekerman as coach of the national team.

But today the story is different. Colombia was able to straighten his path . Showed football, delivery and above all the desire to be back in a World Cup event.

After a dramatic victory in La Paz, where players gave everything they had in their physical, the result was more than worth it. And the leader after the win of these playoffs, the present team returns to delude all Colombians, with to see his flag in a World Cup.

With these two victories, the team is alive again, full of hope and above all, with the confidence to understand that if the rest of the playoffs is played, how are you two dates were played, Russia will not be as far as it seemed at the beginning .

It is that in addition to finding a new strategy developed with Pekerman, where he used a lone striker in point, the team showed unity, camaraderie and above all hungry to return to the World Cup.

The participation of new players was vital in these two games. Cases like Sebastian Perez , Oscar Murillo, Farid Diaz and Marlos Moreno, together with Daniel Torres who just completed four games with the national team, shows that no union in the group. Because they fit perfectly in a group coming to play the World Cup and the Copa America, and suffered heavy casualties, historical players, but with intelligence, were known convene and attached to an idea.

Colombia today is more alive than ever on the way to Russia. Today Colombia again showed hunger for the goal and the claw that characterized it in the last round. Today Colombia regained its football, balance and especially the clear idea that you worked so hard to Pekerman during start of the playoffs.

Today Colombia, was again the best Colombia.

Messi: "Rijkaard was the most important coach in my career"

Leo Messi was only 17 when Frank Rijkaard decided it was time to make the leap to the First Division of Barcelona . La Pulga, who by then only painted for crack, and came crashing in Barca B and Dutch coach did not hesitate: on 16 October 2004 sent him to the court in the Catalan derby against Espanyol . From that day she never came out again.

In an interview with Egyptian television channel MBC, the Pulga said the Dutch coach over the rest of the coaches who went because it was the "trusted" him and made him "debut" in the top flight.

" All the coaches I had in Primera let me things, but I think the most important thing in my career was Rijkaard " he said. He explained: "If he had not decided to get in the first team to train and play perhaps it had never reached the first team I always said it was for me a very important person because he trusted me, I jumped at the right time." .

In Barcelona, ​​Messi served under Rijkaard, Pep Guardiola , Tito Vilanova , Jordi Roura and Luis Enrique . In the Argentina team it was led by Jose Pekerman , Alfio Basile , Diego Maradona , Sergio Batista and Alejandro Sabella . In addition, it was directed at both teams for Gerardo Martino .

Atletico Madrid has no defense

Atletico Madrid reaches the most delicate moment of the season, in which his future playing in the Champions League and the few options remaining in the league, in an extreme situation . With the lack of goal still unresolved, the team had based its entire stake in a strong defensive unsurpassed throughout Europe. Holders in the rear have been consolidated among the best in the world and meet guarantees alternates every time he touches them.

However, Simeone will accumulate problems in central defense . Godin , the great reference, had to leave early on the back of the tie against PSV due to a thigh problem. His compatriot Gimenez suffered a similar injury in the last league match, defeat in Gijon. Savic , the usual replacement, it takes a month off from the first leg against the Dutch, also for muscle aches. The central room of the workforce, Lucas Hernández is the greatest concern, since he returned from his commitment to the France Under-21 with a fractured vertebra.

There is confidence that the Montenegrin and the oldest of Uruguayans recover in time, but the fact is that, today, there is one central healthy in the template . What's more, Saul Ñíguez , which has had to fill the post of necessity on occasion, is also touched, as he suffered a sprained ankle playing with the lower categories of Spain.

So, facing the four parties that have the Atleti from here to 13 April (two league against Betis and Spanish, and other international goals against Barca ), there are three options. The first, shorten recovery times forcing the maximum and risking severe relapses. The second, improvise adapting the position of any other member of the team (Gamez? Gabi?), At the risk of their performance is not ideal and that other areas of the country remain weak. And the last, of course, resorting to the quarry , that it is ... but perhaps the jump Third Division to compete against Messi , Neymar and Suarez is a bit abrupt.

Banished (please) the victimista topic of bad luck and "pupae", who would be accused of such a delicate situation? For once and without a precedent, it does not seem that the offices have direct responsibility , since the preparation of the template seems adequate and four plants should be sufficient, although a fifth element would have been no more .

Yes you can accuse them of certain indolence in defending the interests of the club on schedules , with accumulations of games in a short time which require extraordinary efforts. But that negotiated deals Mr. Thebes , who is public and notorious sympathy for the other team of the city and, if anything, on the other club in the league that supposedly gives television profitability. Likewise, it is not the responsibility of the Atleti the excess irrelevant team matches cluttering further schedule already collapsed.

So it is organized football in this country and on this continent, and while these structures do not change, there is no way, except for sporadic miracles, compete on truly equal terms . For now, one of the few, very few teams across Europe who had dared to stand up to Barcelona is seeing, by chance, your options are reduced at the most inopportune moment. Still, no one would ever dare to rule out in advance a team coached by Cholo.

Isco: "I do not think all the blame is James and me"

Alarcon Isco, Real Madrid midfielder said they are living "a very difficult season" in his club and defended arguing that not all the blame can be Colombian James Rodriguez and his.

"It's been a very difficult season and not think that everything is the fault of James and me. I do not feel it pointed out to me. Never in my life after a defeat I've gone out there," said Cope before explaining that his anger in Las Palmas it was not against Zinedine Zidane.

"After the game against Las Palmas I was angry with myself. I do not think it was the first player who has done that," he added.

Isco ruled out a departure from Real Madrid at end of season. "Going to Juve ?. I am very happy at Real Madrid and want to fulfill the two-year contract left me."

After concluding goalless draw against Romania the two parties with the Spanish team, Real Madrid midfielder already thinking about the Classic Camp Nou.

"We need to vindicate on Saturday against Barcelona after the bad image that we gave in the Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu. I'm butt for the game. I have not played much with the team, I'm not tired. Winning at the Camp Nou would be an injection of very large moral, "he said.

Declining of Laporte, the most difficult to fill for Valverde

The decline Aymeric Laporte, practically and safely until end of season, by the serious injury sustained on Thursday with the Under-21 national team, is the most difficult to fill for the coach Athletic Club, Ernesto Valverde, who has the French center as one of its basic parts.

The absence of Laporte Athletic gets caught in one of the positions where scarcer effective anda Atletico squad, otherwise virtually two players per position.

Although it is also true that, in addition to the specialists, Xabi Etxeita -the other owner and Carlos Gurpegi usual, Valverde can fall back on, and as it has done in the past, players like Mikel San José medium centers and Gorka Elustondo and even the side Eneko Vault.

But none of them is left-handed, like the French. And outputting the game from behind perhaps only to equiparársele San Jose. If anything well, although to be seen, Vault. Etxeita is irregular and Gurpegi, who has had good years after injury last season has not recovered from its previous performance.

The truth is that supply Laporte is more complicated, because it is a left-handed center that dominates almost every facet of the game in position. Its shortcomings, if any, have more to do with issues such as concentration or sufficiency strictly qualities of the game.

The Under-21 international footballer is high (1.89 cm.), Powerful, aggressive, fast motion, quick on the long runs, dominates the air balls in the two areas -this year and 5 goals- leads; and start the game with a lot of quality, either short, long or sometimes driving.

This makes him, according to various rumors and information, appealing piece for the most powerful clubs in the world economically. Thus, his name has been linked in various media entities dimension of FC Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester teams, United and City, or Bayern Munich.

And also desired by the Spanish player selection, as has publicly confessed Vicente del Bosque, in case you can not find a place in the French Didier Deschamps absolute and decide to take another international road.

Therefore, the termination clause of the contract is 50 million euros, the highest in the red and white template with the Inaki Williams, as he was born in 1994. Although the front is later appearance in the elite.

The San José option as a substitute for Laporte might seem the right one to address the lack of French at the output of ball. But seeing somewhat complicated because it is difficult to think of a return to a position of Navarre plant that seemed natural hers but which did not give the expected level is.

It has been the move to midfield which has made San Jose almost indisputable Beñat Etxebarria with eleven Bilbao holder, and the first relay Sergio Busquets of Barcelona in the selection.

In both fights he has leapfrogged Ander Iturraspe, once a key player for both Valverde as before to the Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, who delayed Javi Martinez central to accommodate the talented vizcaíno pivot.

Perhaps the possibility of juntarle with Iturraspe in the team may decide to delay Valverde to San Jose. Although it is something not usually do but duty during the game due to injury or expulsion of a colleague.

Even when it has given rest to Laporte, rarely, the Txingurri has chosen Gurpegi, Elustondo and even Vault, I barely knew the position.

Declining Laporte has also uncovered the lack of central Athletic on a short and medium term hypothetical future if the French surrender at the end of a manifestly more substantial deals in the economic and Gurpegi, which this summer 36, decides terminate his career.

There are plants in Athletic Bilbao with some projection, as Jonas Ramalho (22 years), Yeray Alvarez (21) and Oscar Gil (20), common in the eleven 'Cuco' Ziganda. But none has managed to make the own area "Comanche territory" for opponents.

Lucas will play against Betis and Saul is mild sprain

The French Lucas Hernández, defense of Atletico Madrid, will join the group when the concentration is complete with French sub'21 and can play against Betis, while the sprain Saul ankle Ñíguez is mild and the Belgian Yannick Carrasco only suffers a blow to that joint.

The two great vices of Johan Cruyff: football and snuff

The chroniclers of the time it was not uncommon to see Cruyff , like many other players of his time, to smoke a Camel cigarette -mark without filter- at halftime of a game.

In a famous advertising campaign against snuff made when he coached Barcelona, ​​Cruyff confessed: "In my life I have had two great vices. Smoking and play football. Football has given me everything. Instead, I smoke almost pulls it off. "

Times had changed. A few months before that announcement, in February 1991, Cruyff had been tapped to open for a serious heart blockage in his arteries caused directly by the snuff, and placed a double bypass. The doctors were very clear: I had to quit immediately if he wanted to avoid more serious ailments. Cruyff, leading the Dream Team culé the ball with the stick of a lollipop sticking out through the mouth: then it is one of the iconic images of the nineties Spain generated.

He replaced cigarettes for candy and she managed to maintain her figure the same elegance it had when marked impossible goals; Johan Cruyff's class has always been innate. At Wembley in the final that gave the club its first European Cup in 1992, he fought nerves with lollipops , a severe contrast to an image of his time at Ajax, which held the "romaine" with left hand and a cigar in his right hand. Two vices had never been so well portrayed.

Despite not start smoking again from open heart surgery in 1991-he had 42 years, Johan Cruyff announced on October 22, 2015, 24 years later, suffering from lung cancer. Although snuff leave a quitter always you have much more risk of lung cancer than someone who has never smoked. Since the traumatic announcement was not much he knew the Dutch genius, and it was hard to imagine the worst outcome could get only five months later. Cancer is not pity or the greatest geniuses.

Italy - Spain 1-1

A philosopher, studying football, once asked: why attack a computer? What impulse motivates l? Sometimes it is a mystery. Johan Cruyff responded by inventing a machine optimistic football. Vitalism ball, elegant, it became clear, bright in the bands. 

"What is the forte of Manolo? Uncheck. Well, we'll let you free. "

Spain, disciple, and sequel emulates Cruyff , mixed with pure - blooded genius of Luis, who saw the possibilities of Spanish softly, then passed by consensus continuity with Del Bosque, yesterday seemed to have no reason to.

I could tell friendly party, and something more.

Spain looked like a normal computer. Without attributes, sometimes even irritating, which appeared in the last decade.

Away from the area, detached, separate lines and with very little ball .There was a sense of tentativeness, improvisation on the computer, and then two small disasters: one at the exit of the ball. It was not Busquets and San Jose is not the same. Ramos gave many balls as in the Madrid defense and Linker-media looked like a broken slope.

Italy,  especially , he attacked by the right wing. He was passing everything, even Del Bosque fell , with desplome- feeling overwhelmed by the impetuous linesman. The linesmen are despistadísimos individuals.

The fact is that the Spanish left wing was like a tactical gibberish it took to get ready.

They were in the starting Aduriz, either in the first control and playing back; Morata, in regions where Villa began, and Thiago, who only left a great detail in the first part, with oh general audience.

Morata may be the fitter . Its speed and power are irrepressible. He is a player that can only be a starter.

Every so often, the Real Madrid player has any product associated with his name. Last November presented a collection of footwear, months before he launched a collection of men's underwear. In all, torrid images of footballer always spread.

The player takes 17 million a year to play for Real Madrid. What has always been a secret how much was pocketed by advertising contracts. In this case, a few months ago France Football published earning 26 million euros a year. And, Ronaldo has achieved something of which few can boast : Cristiano Ronaldo is an advertising phenomenon in itself because it has managed to combine his image to his name.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be a father for the second time, according to the Portuguese press

Cristiano Ronaldo may return to being a father , as they move at least two written publications Portugal. Everything indicates that the star player of Real Madrid has again chosen the method of surrogacy, as happened in the case of cristianinho, about to turn six years. Apparently, CR7 has been taking steps in this direction over recent months , such is their degree of satisfaction since he decided to immerse yourself in this experience for the first time.

Both the newspaper "Correio da Manha" as the magazine "Flash! Lives "suggest that plans were accelerated last Christmas , when his son was in Madeira in the care of the grandmother, Dolores Aveiro, and he surprised her with a trip to Miami . True, he was seen with friends in some clubs hedonistic American city, but the striker records used the time to take the necessary steps in this regard . And he worries very much succeed in the election of the mother in question, since he is willing to pay a high amount in order that the confidentiality of the matter is preserved.

On that first occasion in 2010, the figure was around one million euros , according to sources close to the standard of the Portuguese football team. So he announced his paternal premiere in his day through social networks: "With great joy and excitement, I report that I have fathered a child. Since she prefers that his identity not be revealed, the baby's mother and I have agreed that my child stay under my exclusive guardianship . Not give more information and ask everyone to fully respect my right to privacy (and child) at least on issues as personal as these. "

Dolores, a mother

The new paternity Ronaldo may be the explanation for one of the gestures he had in the Bernabeu just over two weeks ago. On 5 March, he scored four goals against Celta Vigo in an evening that ended with a 7-1 ... and one of many lived a celebration that still continues to speak: put the ball under the shirt , as they usually do the players who are going to be parents.

In addition, he had previously expressed its intention to expand their family, not only for their own happiness, but that "cristianinho 'has a brother with whom fun . The mother of CR7, Dolores Aveiro , is key a piece for the scorer can smoothly combine their professional and personal life, as she is responsible for ensuring the child while he is training in the fields of Valdebebas.

In fact, she cited the phrase in his memoirs Cristiano Ronaldo said at the time: "I'll have a son, and want you to help me to educate them and give love , as you have done to me and my brothers."

And all while growing speculation about the future of 'crack', as a part of the environment Florentino Perez says the president of the white club shown willing to sell at the end of this season to finance the "revolution" in the locker room intended coach , Zinedine Zidane, facing the next season.

The man who changed the mentality of Barcelona
