Parreira’s return condemned by South African media

October 27, 2009


Carlos Alberto Parreira’s return as South Africa coach has been widely pilloried in the country’s media, a stark contrast to the almost universal approval he received when he took the job the first time round in late 2006.

Parreira has been enticed back in the wake of the firing of compatriot Joel Santana last week, as the World Cup hosts battle to drag their national side out of a spiral of long-term mediocrity.

Parreira was supposed to be the architect of a plan to build a competitive South African side to set the 2010 tournament alight.

But when his wife fell ill, he had little option to quit and return home to Rio de Janeiro.

Failure to properly explain the reasons for his departure, combined with a simmering discontent over the amount of money he was being paid, obviously touched a sensitive nerve, because his return has been widely condemned.

Columnists across the South African media have raged against his re-appointment and, more to the point, the failure of the South African Football Association to appoint a locally-born coach in the wake of Santana’s departure.

Just why a local would supercede the decades of World Cup experience Parreira has amassed has not been sufficiently explained.

Parreira will likely be surprised by the tone of the ‘welcome’ he will get when he arrives in Johannesburg soon to resume the job. He seemed to have the team on an upward curve during his first tenure but after his departure they have headed steadily downwards, even if there were some bright spots during June’s Confederations Cup.

The South African soccer scene is fickle, which could work in Parreira’s favour. Should he be able to engineer victories in the next two warm-up games, at home to Japan and Jamaica in mid-November, he could well be back on an African honeymoon.

Blues on Ancelotti´s wavelength as Rovers await

October 24, 2009


Carlo Ancelotti’s English might still be a work in progress, but the Italian is currently happy for Chelsea to provide eloquence on his behalf.

On every occasion the west Londoners have been asked a taxing question since Ancelotti took charge, they have provided an articulate response.

A shambolic defeat at Wigan was followed by a brutally efficient win over Liverpool; then, just when their credentials appeared to be undermined by another notable wobble, this time at Aston Villa, they reaffirmed them in stylish fashion with a 4-0 thrashing of Atletico Madrid.

It all makes ominous reading for Blackburn Rovers ahead of their visit to Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Chelsea may have been prone to the odd bout of brain-freeze on their travels this term, but their imperiousness on home soil has been a throwback to the days of Jose Mourinho.

Four wins out of four in the English Premier League, including 10 goals for and just one against, are the kind of statistics which usually add up to a title challenge.

Chelsea are also one step ahead of their rivals in a different form of numbers game.

The club’s serene progress in the Champions League this season, where they have won all three games without conceding, is a mark of their strength in depth.

They have not once been able to call upon Didier Drogba, their talismanic striker, due to the three-match European ban awarded for his foul-mouthed rant at Tom Henning Ovrebo, the referee for last season’s semi-final with Barcelona.

Chelsea’s ability to shrug off adversity is in stark contrast to some of their title rivals, most obviously Liverpool, who have laboured in the absence of the injured Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, a point that has not gone unnoticed at Stamford Bridge.

“We’re very fortunate at Chelsea,” Frank Lampard, their England midfielder, said.

“Since Roman Abramovich came, we’ve had a lot of strength in depth – like with Salomon Kalou scoring twice against Atletico with Didier Drogba being out.

“People said we would struggle without Didier, but we didn’t. If you take Torres out of their team, who do they (Liverpool) bring in?

“It’s difficult. We have players that are not here only to make up the numbers, but players that are fighting and working hard every day in training to come in and really prove themselves.”

Lampard had failed to score from open play for his club all season until he plundered Chelsea’s third goal against Atletico with a typically crisp long-range drive.

Presumably, any relief felt by Lampard will have been mirrored by Ancelotti.

Sam Allardyce’s Blackburn have lost all three league games on their travels, leaking 11 goals in the process, and were thrashed 6-2 by Arsenal in their last outing to the capital.

They might venture south buoyed by their east Lanacashire derby win over Burnley, but few of their fans will be travelling with great expectations.

“Looking at the fixtures, beating Burnley gives us a better opportunity to nick something from the next two games than we would otherwise have done,” maintained Allardyce.

“It was a great three points bearing in mind it was a local derby and that our next two away games are Chelsea and Manchester United.

“It was important we got to 10 points as quickly as possible as these fixtures are going to be difficult.”

Euro trip to blame for Stoke stalemate, says Moyes

October 5, 2009


Everton manager David Moyes admitted his side’s uninspiring 1-1 draw against Stoke was due to their midweek Europa League travels.

A fine strike from Leon Osman salvaged a point for Everton after Robert Huth’s header had looked like helping Stoke to their first away win of the season at Goodison Park on Sunday.

But it was a poor display from the hosts and Moyes pointed the finger at Everton’s trip to Minsk to play BATE Borisov on Thursday as a reason why they failed to fire.

Eight of Sunday’s starting XI also featured in the 2-1 win in Belarus.

“I think seven or eight of them played on Thursday,” Moyes said before insisting that it should not be allowed to become an excuse.

“But that is going to happen if we want to be successful. I think more importantly we have lost a little bit of flair.”

Despite creating precious few opportunities, the Everton manager was satisfied with his side’s persistence against a side keen to do little but neutralise their threat.

“We kept knocking on the door and kept trying to go forward,” Moyes added.

“It certainly was not for lack of effort or commitment and I think at times we played as well as we have done all season.

“I didn’t expect Stoke to come here and make it easy and it was tough to try and break them down but they have done that at a few clubs away from home.

“I thought we created good opportunities in good areas and though we did what we could with finishing it off.”

Stoke regularly got all their men behind the ball on Sunday.

It was in stark contrast to last season when they lost 3-1 at the same venue and indicates that although they will never be one of the Premier League’s more entertaining sides, they are becoming increasingly difficult to beat.

“I thought we did well,” Stoke manager Tony Pulis said. “I think Everton are a good team and mix it up very well and they test you as well.

“It was a much better performance than it was last week against Manchester United.

“The players were more committed and we defended very well when we had to.”

Stoke provided very little offensive threat and although this result moves them up to 11th in the Premier League, they will need to start offering more up front if they are to reach their stated aim of avoiding relegation.

“We have to improve on our passes,” Pulis added. “There were four or five opportunities when we could have passed someone in.”

Wenger infuriated by United´s “anti-football”

August 31, 2009


Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claims Manchester United tried to kick Arsenal out of their stride by playing “anti-football” in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over the Gunners.

Wenger was infuriated by the way United set out to disrupt Arsenal’s smooth passing game by flying into tackles with aggressive intent.

Although Arsenal collected six bookings and United were only shown three yellow cards, Wenger hinted that the champions’ approach was a stark contrast to his own purist principles.

The French coach seemed to be particularly angered by United midfielder Darren Fletcher’s challenges, but stopped short of accusing the Scot by name.

“I have seen a player who plays on the pitch only to make fouls,” he said. “For me, this is a point that is more urgent than diving.

“The players who are never punished, who get out of the game without a yellow card. I think it is more anti-football than a player who did what Eduardo did.

“Look at how many deliberate fouls some players get away with. That’s a bigger problem because it cuts the flow of the game. And people pay to see football, not free-kicks.”

Asked if he was referring to Fletcher, Wenger just laughed and said: “Why do you say the name?”

Fletcher insisted he had done nothing wrong and was just playing his normal game.

“I enjoyed the challenge of going up against Arsenal in a big game,” he told the Sun on Monday.

“I did what I normally do – made some tackles, got about the opposition, no different to any other game.”

Ferguson did not try to keep me, claims Tevez

July 15, 2009


Manchester City’s new signing Carlos Tevez denied on Tuesday that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson did his best to keep him at Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old Argentinian international striker has signed for United’s city rivals in a 25.5million pounds five-year contract after his two-year deal at United ran out at the end of last season.

As United headed towards their 18th league title at the end of last term, speculation about whether United would extend Tevez’s contract grew ever more debated before Ferguson decided not to keep the Argentinian.

However, Ferguson suggested on Monday that he had in fact wanted to retain Tevez’s services and said that he had tried to contact him in January regarding his future – only to be ignored by his player.

Those claims were comprehensively refuted by Tevez at his unveiling at the City of Manchester Stadium on Tuesday as he insisted that Ferguson had never once been in touch.

“The fact I didn’t stay at United was not about the fans it was because David Gill (chief executive) and Ferguson did not do enough to keep me there,” Tevez said.

“I was there for two years and Sir Alex never called or sent any text messages in that time.

“The only time he talked to me was after a match against Roma to discuss a situation about going to play for Argentina.

“It doesn’t seem that this is the way to treat a player in two years at the club.”

Manchester City have not won English football’s top- flight title since 1968 – in stark contrast to United’s seemingly endless run of trophies over the last 15 years – but Tevez insists he is not concerned about the past and will use City’s lack of silverware as a major motivation.

“The ambition I have here is to help Manchester City recover the status that the club once had as one of the best clubs in England,” Tevez added.

“I am here to try and win titles and trophies – that is my main ambition.”

City manager Mark Hughes has the biggest available funds of any boss in the Premier League and the club continues to be linked with Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor and Chelsea captain John Terry.

Officials from City and Arsenal have been locked in discussions for the last 24 hours regarding Adebayor’s future and a deal is looking increasingly more likely.

Although the same cannot be said of Terry as Hughes admitted that it will be difficult to draw the England captain away from Stamford Bridge, despite offering weekly wages in excess of 250,000 pounds a week.

“There have been discussions between us and Arsenal (regarding Adebayor) but it is my usual response to players we haven’t signed – it is not the right time or place to be discussing that,” Hughes added.

“There’s been contact and there is a deal to be done possibly but it’s not been concluded as we speak here.

“I also have fantastic respect for John Terry ever since I saw him when I was at Chelsea as a player myself.

“I think any manager would covet a player like John Terry but at this moment in time he is a Chelsea player and we have to respect that.”

Ruthless Chelsea demolish Arsenal

May 11, 2009

LONDON (AFP) – Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink delivered a damning verdict on the gap between Arsenal and the rest of the ‘big-four’ after his side handed the Gunners their heaviest home league defeat for 32 years.

Hiddink believes Chelsea’s impressive response to the agony of their Champions League defeat against Barcelona was in stark contrast to Arsenal’s faltering effort following their European exit to Manchester United.

The Dutch coach is not the kind of man to gloat unnecessarily and his words carried no hint of glee but his message following Sunday’s 4-1 rout must be worrying for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Just five days after Arsenal were brushed aside with contemptuous ease by United, it was Chelsea’s turn to emphasise just how far the north London team have fallen behind their rivals at the top of the Premier League.

Alex opened the scoring with a header from Didier Drogba’s free-kick, then former Arsenal striker Nicolas Anelka lashed home a stunning second.

Kolo Toure’s own goal put the result beyond doubt and, although Nicklas Bendtner got one back, Florent Malouda confirmed Chelsea’s biggest win at Arsenal since 1960 and the Gunners’ biggest home league defeat since Ipswich won 4-1 at Highbury in 1977.

Hiddink made it clear Chelsea’s battle-hardened players have much more character than the Arsenal’s fragile young talents, who are now 15 points behind leaders United.

“I think it (the score) is a good reflection on the gap between the teams. We are a team that likes to react. We have had some set-backs but we are real men who like a challenge,” he said.

“When you have big players you must discover if they want to work for each other. Everyone has ego but it is important that they help each other with the dirty work no matter the name of the player.”

Although Chelsea’s European challenge ended in disappointment, Hiddink can still take pride in his efforts when he returns to manage Russia on a permanent basis in June.

The Blues are now guaranteed a top-three finish in the Premier League and have sealed their place in the Champions League group stages next season – an achievement which was far from certain when Hiddink replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari in February.

“It gives me great satisfaction considering where we were in February,” he said.

“We told the players they had so much experience in World Cups and Champions League that it shouldn’t take much time to change things. They reacted perfectly in the league and Champions League.”

Hiddink was also pleased with Drogba’s performance after the Ivory Coast striker’s rant at referee Tom Henning Ovrebo in the aftermath of the Barca defeat.

Drogba was accused by Wenger of diving to win the free-kick that led to Chelsea’s first goal but Hiddink said: “If you win you must win with certain modesty. If you win you shouldn’t pick out incidents that didn’t have much effect on the whole game.

“We do not live with headlines, whether they are right or not, that is not the big issue. Drogba has always fought for the team.”

While Chelsea are back on the up, Arsenal face an uncertain future. The potential of Wenger’s squad isn’t in doubt but time and again this season they have failed when faced with more ruthless opponents.

Wenger has defended his youngsters to the hilt but even he was forced to admit changes are likely.

“What is disappointing is in the games that matter in the last few weeks we couldn’t win. We have conceded four to Liverpool, three to Man Utd and now four to Chelsea,” Wenger said.

“We have to analyse that. I believe we have quality defenders, it is more a matter of the balance of the team.

“You would not like to come out and say we will buy four defenders. At the moment, I don’t know what funds will be available.

“We have to continue to improve, but in the areas where it is right. It is not necessarily about quantity of money.”

Allardyce declines to gloat over Newcastle

May 10, 2009


BLACKBURN, England (AFP) – Sam Allardyce declined the opportunity to revel in the troubles currently afflicting his former club Newcastle after guiding Blackburn to the brink of Premier League survival.

A 2-0 victory over Portsmouth on Saturday, courtesy of a goal from Morten Gamst Pedersen and a Benni McCarthy penalty, took Rovers to the 40 points tally and means only a freak sequence of results involving the teams below them can see them relegated.

It marks an impressive achievement by Allardyce, who took over from Paul Ince just before Christmas with Blackburn languishing near the foot of the table.

In a neat twist of football fate, should relegation-threatened Newcastle draw with fellow strugglers Middlesbrough on Monday evening, that result would make Rovers’ survival mathematically certain.

“I’m not really bothered about Newcastle, as long as we get three points,” said Allardyce, who was dismissed as manager of the north-east club after eight unproductive months.

“It is one where, from my point of view, it?s all water under the bridge.

“My life goes on, I don?t worry about what happened in the past, only look to the future and I haven?t had time to think about anybody else.

“I?m going to enjoy tonight and I hope the players enjoy tonight because this is a big achievement, coming from where we came from when I arrived in December, with only 13 points from the first 17 games.

“It means everything to me,” he continued. “I want to be a Premier League manager and I want to stay as a Premier League manager and, though I came to take on a difficult job, I haven?t really had to worry too much because the players have been magnificent.”

Under Allardyce, Blackburn have lost at home just once in ten league games and have collected 27 points from the 19 total matches in which he has been in charge, a stark contrast with the stewardship of Ince.

“I think man management has been key,” said Allardyce. “You assess the situation and the very difficult circumstances, you try and understand the players, what they?re feeling and you try and alleviate their fears and bring their positive mental side out.

“With two games to go I expect us to pick some more points up as well, and look up at finishing higher in the table, but this group of players have been committed and determined to make sure they are playing in the best league in the world again next season.

“All credit to them. The achievements and efforts they have given have been well rewarded by getting to the magical 40 point mark.”

Portsmouth, and interim manager Paul Hart, are still two points short of that target and, while their current tally may yet prove sufficient to keep them in the top division, there is far more uncertainty over their survival than that of Blackburn.

John Utaka missed a late penalty for Pompey as they extended their run without a goal to 372 minutes, and a home game with Sunderland on May 18 could yet prove to be one of the most meaningful fixtures of the entire Premier League season.

“I’m more disappointed with the performance than the result because that is by far the worst performance we have had since February,” said Hart. “We have not looked anything like that.

“If the players thought the hard work was done, this was a timely reminder that in this division you can?t take your foot off the pedal. I?ve been saying forever that we need another win but it?s in our hands and we want to make it mathematically safe as soon as possible.”

Kalou sends Chelsea to Barcelona on a high

April 25, 2009

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
LONDON (AFP) – Salomon Kalou ensured Chelsea will travel to Barcelona for next week’s Champions League semi-final in buoyant mood after sealing their 1-0 win over West Ham on Saturday.

The Ivory Coast international made the most of a rare start under Guus Hiddink by plundering the only goal of a scrappy game early in the second half.

He turned in Frank Lampard’s cross from close range, and victory was assured when Petr Cech saved Mark Noble’s 70th-minute penalty.

Three points have little relevance to Chelsea on the domestic front, their English Premier League title ambitions having died against Everton last Wednesday, but it will pep their confidence ahead of the daunting encounter with Barca.

Indeed, the Dutch interim manager might consider the fact his squad departed east London without any major injury scares as his most satisfying achievement, although he had done his best to minimise the risks.

As expected, Jose Bosingwa was deployed as a makeshift left-back to ready him for the Nou Camp, where first choice Ashley Cole will be suspended, although whether containing the limp Luis Boa Morte will prepare him for confronting Lionel Messi is another matter.

Hiddink will be just pleased that Michael Essien and Michael Ballack were only employed briefly as second-half substitutes, while Didier Drogba and Alex were not needed at all.

Chelsea’s satisfaction was in stark contrast to West Ham, for whom defeat represented a grievous blow to their hopes of sealing the seventh-placed finish which should guarantee Europa League football next season. With Fulham and Tottenham, their major rivals, in ominous form, Gianfranco Zola’s side must rebuild their confidence quickly.

Zola will have been dismayed at his team’s paltry effort here against a Chelsea side which, perhaps inevitably given the changes, never threatened to reach top gear.

The first half was dismal and, aside from a long-range effort from Lampard and a low shot Nicolas Anelka pulled just wide of the left-hand post, West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green was largely reduced to sun-bathing duties.

The hosts, for their part, were inexplicably slack, although they still created the most inviting chances. In the 20th minute, a delightful turn from Diego Tristan allowed the Uruguayan to slide a perfectly weighted pass to Kieron Dyer between John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic.

Dyer, returning from the latest in a long line of injuries, had only Petr Cech to beat but never looked assured and his weak shot was little better than a back-pass.

Tristan had his own chance shortly before half-time, when Matthew Upson headed down Noble’s corner. Tristan flicked towards goal from five yards but his limp effort was cleared off the line by John Mikel Obi.

West Ham were to rue those misses. Chelsea emerged after the break in a more purposeful mood and forged ahead in the 54th minute. Lampard drove to the by-line and, after Green failed to cut out his chipped cross, Kalou poked high into the net.

The goal punctured the hosts. Chelsea gradually took control, pinging passes around at their leisure and leaving West Ham grasping at thin air.

Two beautifully constructed moves deserved goals: the first, in the 67th minute, saw a rat-a-tat exchange end with Belletti setting Anelka clear, only for Green to save bravely at his feet; the second, moments later, had Malouda tee up Ashley Cole, on for Bosingwa. The England defender’s angled, rising drive clipped the crossbar.

Chelsea were by now so completely in control that complacency became the biggest threat to their lead. That was the only explanation for Kalou’s brainless challenge on Herita Ilunga, who had forged into the penalty area but well away from goal.

Mike Dean duly pointed to the spot but Cech spared Kalou some awkward questions by brilliantly saving Noble’s penalty to his left. The game was as good as over.

Messi and Benzema clash in Euro hotshot battle

February 24, 2009

LYON, France (AFP) – Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema, top scorers in this season’s Champions League, hold the key to Tuesday’s second round, first leg clash between Lyon and Barcelona which should be an attacking feast.

Both men have five goals in this year’s competition to share top spot in the goal charts with Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard and Miroslav Klose of Bayern Munich.

Argentine ace Messi likes coming up against the seven-time French champions.

Last season, he scored in both group games which finished 2-2 in France and a comfortable 3-0 win in Barcelona as the Spanish giants, twice European champions, made it as far as the semi-finals.

However, Barcelona did not have the best preparation for Tuesday’s clash, losing 2-1 to city rivals Espanyol. It was their first defeat since the opening day of the season, ending a 22-match unbeaten run.

"Nobody said this was going to be easy," said Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola. "It was a demanding match and we need our players to recover from it."

Like Barcelona, Lyon are on top of their domestic league, but coach Claude Puel believes his side have the toughest assignment of the entire Champions Legaue second round draw.

"It?s the most difficult draw we could have faced, given that Barcelona is the best team in the world at the moment," said Puel.

"It?ll be difficult for us, but I think we have a chance if we play as a team and produce good football. Barcelona have some great individual players, but we have a great team.

"We can produce some great football, and we need to play as a team in order to win."

Lyon, for whom the sought-after Benzema hit his 12th league goal of the season in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Nancy, will need to shore up a leaky defence having conceded ten goals in the group stage, more than any other side left in the last 16.

In stark contrast, no other team scored as many goals as Barcelona in the group stage with 18 in six matches.

Barcelona will be without French international defender Eric Abidal, a former Lyon star, for the both legs of the tie after injuring his leg in Saturday’s defeat.

Barcelona paid Lyon 15 million euros for Abidal in June 2007 after the player made his mark for France at the 2006 World Cup finals.

Galaxy dismiss ´ridiculous´ Beckham bid

February 20, 2009

ROME (AFP) – Los Angeles Galaxy have ridiculed claims from AC Milan that they are close to securing the signature of David Beckham in an interview published in Friday’s Gazzetta dello Sport.

Tim Leiweke, the chief executive of Galaxy’s owners AEG, told the Italian sports newspaper that claims from Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani the previous day that the two sides were close to a deal were ‘nonsense’.

"Two weeks ago Milan made a ridiculous offer that took me just a few seconds to reject," he said of the reported 3 million dollar bid.

"With this figure Galaxy wouldn’t even be able to cover the loss in revenue from shirt sales.

"Since then I haven’t heard a thing and no meeting has been set up."

His final point was in stark contrast to claims in the Italian press this week that a delegation from Milan will travel to the United States to thrash out a deal.

Leiweke revealed he is growing increasingly exasperated with Milan’s behaviour in a transfer saga which originally was a simple loan deal, due to end on March 9.

"I’ve decided to speak out because I’ve read too many inaccuracies," added Leiweke. "After that ridiculous offer we’ve had no more contact from Milan.

"They’ve gone after other people from the League’s commissioner to David’s representatives, but not us."

One thing is clear, though, that the 33-year-old former England captain wants to stay in Lombardy.

"I’ve said I want to stay here and obviously if I do go back it will be a bit difficult," Beckham said following Sunday’s Milan derby.

"But I’m always professional so we will have to wait and see when the final decision is made.

"I hope things go the way I want them to. I’ve already said that I want to stay, I’m enjoying my time here and hopefully I will (stay)."

But although Becks has made his desire clear, Leiweke denied this put Milan in a position of strength with regards any transfer.

"They don’t understand that behind this affair there are fans who are threatening to give up their season tickets, there’s TV that needs to schedule which matches they will screen, sponsors who want compensation and other teams that have the right to know if Galaxy will play in their stadium with or without Beckham," he said.

"And don’t forget that under normal circumstances our transfer window is closed. If David doesn’t come back, who are we going to replace him with?

"If Milan are so determined to buy him, why are they dragging this out for so long?

"If they think they’ll get him on the cheap that way, they’re wrong."

But just as Beckham himself insists he would give his all to the Galaxy if he is forced to return to LA, so too Leiweke believes in his professionalism.

"Let’s get things clear, David is an incredible professional and I’m happy, as much for him as for Milan, that his Italian experience is going so well," added the AEG boss.

"David is a friend and he asked me to consider what Milan were proposing.

"I said yes because I want him to be happy. But I’m not about to be screwed over and hence on March 9 Beckham will be in Los Angeles and will be working with the same serenity and application as before.

"And he knows he doesn’t have any other option because his first chance to break his contract comes at the end of 2009."
