Andorra is Investigated paying bribes to FIFA dome

They are meeting the bigwigs of world football in Zurich to try to clean upFIFA . But, in view of the scandals that continue to emerge, it will not suffice with a change of faces in the presidency. Whether or Al-Khalifa Infantino chosen, the surgery will need many hours in the operating room. Especially because corruption is institutionalized since the time of Joao Havelange , the almighty "pharaoh" who ruled with an iron fist from 1974 to 1998. Almost two decades after his retirement, reappears name Havelange. And not a small matter.
US Attorney followed the trail of the corrupt plot to Switzerland, where he made ​​a raid that caused an earthquake in the dome of FIFA and ended the career of its president, Joseph Blatter . They fell most South American leaders, and even the head of UEFA, Michel Platini , but US authorities did not give up its investigations, which have now come to Andorra. There they found evidence that the president of the Brazilian Football ConfederationRicardo Teixeira would have used an Andorran bank account to transfer to FIFA 1.7 million euros with which to try cover up the scandal by the collection of more than 40 million in bribes between 1992 and 2000 the company ISL in return for television rights of the World.

Blatter and Rosell

Andorran plot not only affects Havelange and Teixeira, but also Joseph Blatter , as researchers believe that payment of 1.7 million went to stop to apersonal account of Peter Nobel , particularly lawyer even FIFA president, who then it would have reimbursed to the organization. But to put the icing on the cake of corruption, the Andorran authorities need the cooperation of the Brazilian Justice, the newspaper "O Estado" would be willing to offer now in great detail on the accounts of Teixeira and environment.
As if that were not enough, also appears the name of Sandro Rosell .According to researchers, the Andorran company that performed the operation, Bon Us SL, was linked to a friend of the former president of Barca, exconsejero Andorran Finance Joan Besolí , who was a member of Rosell in the Andorran company counts SL, which was the he processed the residence permit Ricardo Teixeira in the Principality. The president of the Brazilian Football Confederation would have paid half a million euros to complete all the paperwork.
A Rosell was investigated in Brazil for the collection of 8.4 million euros of the Brazilian Confederation as commission for holding friendly selection of that country.

Morning forced to rest Fernando Alonso . The Spaniard, who took part Thursday in the fourth and final day of testing at Montmelo, has barely turn around three times since the beginning of the session at nine o'clock because of a failure in the water pressure in the McLaren .
More reliability problems that are added to those already suffered Button in yesterday and recover the ghosts of last year after the hopeful start of the first two days.
Alonso McLaren started up normally at nine o'clock, but after three laps installation returned to the garage and down the car indefinitely. According to the team until the afternoon session no plan to get back on track.
On the opposite side, Ferrari has shown that progress last year, when he came to discuss some career victory in Mercedes, this could be continued in 2016.
Therefore, Kimi Raikkonen has again put the Italian racing car as the fastest of the day, as happened in the first two sessions with Sebastian Vettel.

Atletico allows the escape PSV

The Champions League is not an easy tournament for Atletico, who let out alive PSV Eindhoven in a game that clearly dominated, especially in a second half in which he enjoyed numerical superiority. The 0-0 is a troubling result because the Dutch somewhat at the Calderon Simeone forces to search the trunk of lost goals. Impeccable in defense, in attack this team needs a few hours of couch. It is what it is. And it is a problem.
Yesterday rojiblanco of blue- went to press high up, plugged from minute one, causing damage to some given the preciousness rival. With command of the match , looked combinations patients, all homologable allowed for a hard grass but too long at the back of the defenses balls : Juanfran first to Griezmann, after Gabi to Vietto; Argentina striker planted in a through ball, he caught the ball and Bruma him out when barreled into the net. In the first dangerous approach of local, Locadia dropped into the box and the referee did not buy the maneuver.
To 20 minutes, PSV took the air duel. Guardado began to appear in the path of the ball , good news for his family, although the Dutch waves sometimes not congealed. The resource centers to the area caused no problems Godin Savic -Simeone specialists and increasingly relies on the Montenegrin Central, which gradually has equaled its competition with Giménez-. After a few minutes of news, the balance was about to becomeunbalanced. Koke launched Griezmann, who inexplicably missed a dogfight with Zoet . In reply, I trompicado Pereiro appeared in the area and the ball came to Propper, who finished from close range for Oblak was brilliant.
This PSV led by exazulgrana Phillip Cocu is actually a hybrid that he notices the character of his American players , present in all lines: the impetuous Colombian Arias on the right side; Moreno Mexican -in the center of the defence- and Guardado -capataz of medullary, and Pereiro Uruguayan turned to the kitchen of opposites.

Expulsion of Pereiro

The Madrid returned after the break with renewed impetus, trying to collect advantage. The party entered a stage of rapid football, with Vietto and Griezmann ready to jostling for position . The Frenchman has dropped several rungs in recent weeks after a beginning of spectacular season: collides with few defenses before taunted and is chastised with the goal.However, the Cholo preferred to switch to Vietto by Torres for the last half hour of the meeting.
Koke, another that is below their level , made ​​a clearance that took shape shot into his own net. At the other end , Godin headed on goal, but climbed on the back of Moreno and the action was canceled. The Uruguayan was the protagonist of the action that could have changed the match: he jumped for the ball and his compatriot Pereiro jumped him. The referee took out the second yellow card.
PSV began to run out of his praetorian guard with Spanish accent, becauseGuardado was replaced and the supporters dismissed him with the Mexican classic "Cielito Lindo" ( "Ay, ay, ay, ay, sing and do not cry ...").Simeone became clear that the tie could be solved taking advantage of the numerical inferiority and fatigue rival. He called Correa to invent something at short distances. He tried without success, like all his peers.
