"Five things to remember of EPL last week"

1.Refereeing in the premier league is pathetic
2.Manchester City :invincible or no more 
3.Southampton finally reaps awards for its football
4.Everton is the better merseyside club
5.Crisis on QPR

Manchester United came out through a tough battle:

It was a great moment for Manchester United when Van Persie made a penalty to a victory gem of M U. They took lead over Liverpool by 2-1 , again it was a vanishing experience for Liverpool which has already lost 4 matches before this upset. 

The Anfield stadium appreciated the emotional entertainment from both the teams where Rafael and Van Persie became the hero of the show. This match was awaited to thousands of audience specially in England . Football is worshipped in Europe and few teams are the like places were wishes are fulfilled. These two teams are one of them ,their battle hovered the better one leading over the other and in the premier league too.
Liverpool unable to get a success yet will try to find a place in the table in upcoming matches.

ZICO- The greatest footballer of all time:

He is ranked the greatest footballer number 12 of all time.

Remember our school time when we used to talk about the free kicks in football. The first name which comes in our mind was of David Beckham who was master in striking the ball into the goalpost at most of the occasions when the team required a miracle to win or either to make a crucial draw.Here is an another man who was famous for his scorpion kicks he is 'Zico' its may be you don't have heard about  him so high but let me tell you after watching this video you will believe that he is one of the best.

It was early 80's when the world's best considered Brazil was talked about not to have won the world cup ever. Inspite of this it has a bunch of star players who always led the Brazil at forefront, and one of them is 'Rico' the 'white pele' some say like that. When asked to Pele about greatest players he always mentioned Rico as a high esteem great performer. His free kicks, passion at ground, two great feet penetrative ,his lethal attack makes him Brazilian 

hero of that time A long time of his career he has spent with the Brazilian club Flamengo which has produced lots of Gems for the National Side. He   was on his zenith of performance with Flamengo for almost 17 years in his 21 years long career and    those were peak years of success for the club too.

After he left the club for the first time he went to Italy. Despite getting offers from AC Milan and AS Roma he switched to Udinese. He played two seasons with Udine and returned to his beloved club Flamengo of Brazil in 1985 ,the reason to move back was several injuries and unsatisfaction.

1982 and 1986 world cups went to a disappointment for Brazil failing to grab a position in Final Stages. However Zico finished the1982  tournament with four goals and in other they were eliminated by France in Quarterfinals in a tensed penalty results.
Coming back to his free kicks , he was widely known for his splendid free kicks. Every player has his own style of taking the free kicks most popular players who are famous for taking free kicks are: Davic Beckham, Christiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Roberto Carlos they all have their unique moves .                                 The thing which differs Rico from others is he was continuosly experimenting and tweaking on his techniques throughout his career. He was worshipped for his special Divine curlers from his boot's instep and curling it to the other corner.

Zinedine Zidane

Zidane- The greatest footballer of all time 

("according to a survey he is ranked number 3 greatest footballer of all time")

The stage was of the 1998 FIFA world cup. The two teams starring were the world's greatest and best of all time. The 1998 world cup was the shown the indispensable era of these two monster football teams, when prediction means a small thing , the big one was passion for the game. It was BRAZIL vs FRANCE in the final of FIFA world cup 1998.

A bundle of stars was Brazil with a lethal striker Ronaldo accompanying him were the other star players like Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Dunga and Rivaldo. They were the defending champions and hot favourite for the grand Triumph. Ronaldo has led the defending side to the final's after defeating Netherlands in a tense contest.

France which was underestimated before the match ,had played in the way which was peerless and uttered the Brazilians and their fans by their passes and energy. Ronaldo was half-fit in that match resulting into slow  striking of the terminator Brazil.
If we talk about zidane he was immensed, boosted with energy and had the desperation to win the triumph. He has taken two headers and both went to score. He became the unmatched performer and a hero of French Football.

Pique and Shakira

This weekend it was LasVegas when Pique's girlfriend Shakira gesturing out of a music festival in Las Vegas wrote on her website that she has got pregnant and expecting her and Barcelona's defender Pique's baby but not mentioned the due date.
The 25yr old Spanish power shooter Pique met her first time in 2010 and after they confirmed their relationship in 2011.
As announced by the club due to some injury in his left leg he'll be out of the play for three weeks from UEFA champions league 2012.

The 35 years Colombian pop star said on Wednesday that they want to live this beautiful moment of life and most probably the upcoming promotional activities will be postponed.

Federation Cup has commenced and here is an awesome match report between PUNE FC and UNITED SIKKIM ,which resulted into a victory for PUNE FC by 1-0. The play took place at Keenan Stadium ,Jamshedpur on thursday.

Striker Jeje Lalpekhlua became the star of the day by striking a goal in the second half of the play.

The first half was goalless making the spectators prediction more optimistic , but at the end Pune FC earned the victory.  

Liverpool vs Manchester United

(The Rivalry for Prestige!!!)

One of the biggest and furious rivalries of the club football is about to take place when Liverpool will host English favourites Manchester United. This match is not only about winning , its a game which will decide who is better ,associated with lots of emotions of fans it also includes players of both the team eager to crush their opponent. Players give their best to beat their rival because loosing will not appreciate any excuse. Its lot more than just 3 points on the table.

Spectators have mentioned Manchester as their favourite, but inspite of being underdog , but for a game like this there are no favourites. This is a game which will undergo extreme pressure but results will be inevitable no doubt, the anticipators will enjoy his rivalry on their screen as something is blowing their own energy.

Current form of Liverpool is quite unimpressive , but if they follow these tactics they shall do the same:

MIDFIELDERS should be more responsive.

CAPTAIN Gerrard have to come back with his form.

SUAREZ should be a showstopper like he did last year (march) against M united.

Explore the key players such that the opponents night go without good sleep.

STOP their attack like RVP, KAGAWA to ensure them the great success without upset.

Chelsea with a good start, Messi rescued Barcelona

Chelsea in a campaign to defense its title has started with a draw against Italian champion Juventus. Every were on their way inspite of the two goals drawn into their posts. Brazilian mid-fielder Oscar who is for the first time playing for Chelsea has made a vital appearance from his two long-range goals.
We are quite disappointed and deflated by the result that could be a winning streak for Chelsea resulted into a draw said the Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo. "We must have closed the match".
                                                                                                                                    On the other hand Barcelona star Messi played a good role in making his team win over Spartak Moscow. He scored two late goals i the stunning opening match with the Catalans who stuttered in the opening match of the UEFA campaign. Barca are aiming their third UEFA trophy in the five years but were about to lose their initial step towards the triumph.
As we have noticed their blistering start in La Liga with four straight wins and went ahead ,but by dani alves self goal after 29mins Spartak cameback somehow in the contest.

Chelsea FC UEFA 2012

Chelsea FC- The champion of the last season of UEFA Champions League Chelsea is ready to take things more seriously this time than last season. It is reported through doors of Chelsea that this season would be even more stronger and competetive. The finishing in the players of this league is adorable. If we talk about
Chelsea we will see more consistency in the players this time meanwhile they would be unhappy because of the absence of their striker 'Didier Drogba' who has leveraged the team to make the triumph last season.



Like they have won the FA cup earlier this year the men in blues are ready to take up the challenge. There ae few points where Chelsea needs to concentrate, one of them is their defence which is well handled by Thibaut Courtois but defenders have to give a big bash response to the strikers of the team playing against them. Ivanovic is the key defender but Chelsea needs to cover up the Branislav Ivanovic defence by employing some solid right back or deputize under him.
So the upcoming playing 11 would be something like this:
                                                                       
                                                                  Courtois(goal keeper)

Ivanovic _  Luiz _  Cahill _  Bertrand

McEachran _  Mikel

Ramires _  Mata _  Hazard

Torres

Substitutes: Turnbull, Meireles, Marin, De Bruyne, Sturridge.
