Machidonii intre ei: Gigi Becali despre Hagi

Gigi Becali a povestit cum a fost la un pas sa-l convinga pe Gica Hagi sa revina in fotbal, la doi ani de la retragerea lui.

Totul s-a petrecut in 2003, dupa un meci jucat de Steaua la Liverpool.

"Eram pe aeroport, la Liverpool, dupa meci, a doua zi de dimineata. Asteptam avionul, stateam la o cafea. Totul a inceput cu o gluma, apoi s-a transformat in ceva serios. Hagi era in dreapta mea si i-am zis direct: 'Gica, la anul vreau sa atac grupele Ligii Campionilor. Vorbesc serios. Hai, vino sa ne ajuti sa ajungem acolo. Nu te intorci sa joci la Steaua'", a povestit Becali in cartea sa, scrisa in inchisoare, anunta editia tiparita a cotidianului Gazeta Sporturilor.

"Cand s-a intors catre mine, a vazut ca nu glumeam. Avea aproape 39 de ani, nu pacalise niciodata fotbalul. I-am spus ca va face fata fara probleme. Nea Imi Ienei, care era si el acolo, m-a ajutat. A adaugat ca Piti (antrenorul din acea vreme - n.red.) nu va fi nebun sa-l puna la antrenamente, sa faca aceleasi lucruri ca jucatorii tineri. El venea cu experienta, cu setea de fotbal", a mai scris acesta.

Revenirea pe teren a "Regelui" nu s-a mai produs insa: "N-a zis nici da, nici nu. L-am vazut, asa, derutat. 'Gigi, mi-e greu, ma, iar sa intru in cantonamente, sa stau prin hoteluri, abia am scapat de astea, acum ce sa fac, ma bag iar? De ce crei ca m-am lasat?', m-a intrebat. Lui nu-i era ca nu mai poate pe teren, acolo nu se facea de ras, dar se temea de deplasari, de zboruri, de toate problemele astea...", a conchis patronul Stelei.

Gica Hagi (49 de ani) a jucat in cariera sa la Farul Constanta, Sportul Studentesc, Steaua, Real Madrid, Brescia, Barcelona si Galatasaray.

Exista prietenii in tenisul feminin? Cu cine se intelege Halep cel mai bine?

Tenisul feminin este un sport inchis, in care este greu sa iti faci prietene, dar chiar si asa intre cele mai bune jucatoare din lume s-au creat legaturi.

Intr-un sport in care rivalitatea este dusa la extrem, cea mai cunoscuta prietenie este cea dintre americanca Serena Williams si daneza Caroline Wozniacki, relateaza One News.

Cele doua au surprins in momentul in care au mers impreuna la manichiura inaintea unui turneu, iar cel mai frumos moment al relatiei lor s-a petrecut anul trecut, cand Serena Williams a asteptat-o plangand pe Caroline dupa ce aceasta a incheiat maratonul de la New York.

De altfel, Serena Williams spune ca lucrurile s-au schimbat in tenisul feminin, iar jucatoarele au o relatie mult mai apropiata.

"Acum suntem ca intr-o mare familie", afirma Serena Williams, care are o relatie buna si cu Simona Halep, dupa ce cele doua s-au intalnit la Turneul Campioanelor din Singapore.

Totusi, cea mai buna prietena a Simonei Halep din circuitul mondial este Petra Kvitova, ocupanta locului 4 in clasamentul WTA.

In schimb, Maria Sharapova a declarat public ca nu are nicio prietena in tenisul feminin, deoarece nu este interesata de acest lucru.

Bielorusa Victoria Azarenka spera insa sa o faca sa se razgandeasca pe Sharapova, adresandu-i o invitatie in acest sens.

"Nu am iesit cu nicio fata inca, dar sper ca intr-o zi sa ies cu Maria Sharapova, stiu ca locuieste aproape de mine", a afirmat Azarenka.

La fel ca si Maria Sharapova, Eugenie Bouchard a anuntat ca nu vrea sa aiba nicio prietena in tenis.

"Chiar nu vreau sa fiu prietena cu nicio fata din circuit. Vin aici, imi fac treaba si plec. N-am nevoie de distractii!", a explicat Bouchard.

O alta prietenie cunoscuta din tenisul feminin este cea dintre Ana Ivanovici si Sorana Carstea.

Ranieri already has his revenge: Leicester leader and 'Mou' with Drowning

Leicester confirmed their aspirations and closed the sixteenth day of the Premier League with victory over Chelsea flavored revenge, which climbs to the leadership of Claudio Ranieri and puts the team of Jose Mourinho just one point above the relegation zone.

Ranieri already has his revenge against the coach who succeeded him on the bench for Chelsea in 2004, and that, when they met in Italian football, joked about the age of the Roman coach and his difficulty learning English.

Now, coach Ranieri is currently in Leicester Premier and fashionable outfit, while Mourinho must respond every week to doubts about its continuity. As much as 'Mou' repeat that what is concerned is the distance to the top, you're forced to look down. The threat of relegation begins to fly over the "blues".

In the King Power, while the "foxes" were played to confirm that may be more than a surprise, Chelsea needed victory to show that we must not bury his title in a season that almost all fail.

But the current set of Mourinho's team a disoriented, with no clear pattern of play, with Cesc again in banquillo- and many problems with the goal.

True to its hierarchy, he dominated the entire first half but did not create more danger than a header from Nemanja Matic, the exit of a corner (M.36).

Nor he was lucky in the "exchange" of injury, because the output of Danny Drinkwater (m.16) was less traumatic for the opponent that Eden Hazard for the "blues", replaced by Pedro on the half hour of play.

Leicester had it clear, because it has a scorer in grace (Jamie Vardy) and a genius (the Algerian Riyad Mahrez). Between the two they have scored eight goals more than the entire Chelsea.

And between the two wins which has so far been the biggest haul of the season at the King Power Stadium. In 34, Mahrez took a cross to volley Vardy, ahead of the sleeping behind Chelsea. At the beginning of the second half, the Algerian franc advantage of the passivity of César Azpilicueta, down ball inside the area and sent away from Courtois.

Still lost, desperate, Mourinho ushered Cesc instead of John Terry and although Chelsea regained hope with a goal from Loic Remy head, a pass from Pedro (m.78), its overwhelming end harassment, with five extra minutes in injury time, did not help but to show the impotence of an assembly fails to set straight.

Ranieri secured a victory that will allow them to extend one of the questions that English football monopolize debates: Will it resist to the point of fighting for the title? The other Roman Abramovich to endure -how Mourinho- also gaining strength.

- Technical sheet:

2 - Leicester: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez (Inler, m.81), Drinkwater (King, m.16), Kanté, Albrighton; Ulloa, Vardy (Okazaki, m.87).
