The match started very boring - "Bayer" a large force sitting in the defense, surely holding back all the attacks "Chelsea". The first truly notable event was waved from David Louise Kiessling in the 18th minute. After riding the Brazilian fight even came away with the field, but he found the strength to continue the game. Kissling, incidentally, had a very dismal match, regularly being late when connected to the attacks.


The first half was pretty equal game in which visitors spend more combination attacks, and the owners were better in the standards. Ballack, closing the canopy from a corner, hit the crossbar. In another penalty for offside line played well Drogba, but his strike was not enough accuracy. Sturridge was also good - though the result of his actions were not dangerous moments, and the fouls of players, "Bayer". Well, at least it earned cards, and then bread.


The second half actually started with an excellent goal Drogba. Age Ivorian got the ball, accompanied by Manuel Friedrich, turned and shot past the out-of-doors Leno. Explicit fault of the defender, but the more I want to not scold him, and praise Didier. Forward in their 33 remembers how to accelerate, to beat one to one and send the ball into the opponent's gate. And it must be said, does not bode well with Torres Lukaku.

The coach of Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson Award Coach of the Year "in the English Premier League also recently awarded" Coach of the Year by league coaches Starter Association (LMA).

"I am honored to receive this award. We had a very difficult season in one of the strongest leagues"- quoted coach RBC with reference to The Guardian.

The coach of Manchester United Alex Ferguson the only one who can defeat the current Barcelona led by Josep Guardiola.

Told linebacker of the Los Angeles Galaxy David Beckham.

"Ferguson, year after year proves its quality, demonstrating that he is a terrific coach. So many times to change the players on the team and continue to achieve success - it is unbelievable.

All now speak of the "Barcelona" as one of the best clubs in the world. This is true. But who is and knows how to beat "Leopard" at its peak, it is Ferguson. I hope Manchester United win the Champions League Final "- quoted Beckham championat.ru referring to AFP.

Chilean striker "Udinese" Alexis Sanchez soon could become a player of Inter Milan.

Club attacker wants to get from Grand Sanchez for 25 million euros and Goran Pandyeva with David Santon in addition, writes footballpress.net.

High striker Sanchez had a brilliant season for "Udinese, scoring 12 goals and helped the club get into the Champions League.

In the second match 1 / 2 Champions League final between English Manchester United team and the opening of this year's tournament draw German Schalke few believed in the victory of the latter. Even though Ralph wards Ranhnika sensationally passed Inter in the previous round. "Red Devils" were favorites in this confrontation, which witnessed the first match result of this pair.

Compared with the first mentor meeting German club has only three options, while its counterpart - nine. And it's not that Alex Ferguson underestimated opponent - just in Manchester "ahead of the national championship all-important match against Chelsea, which mankuniantsev compete in the struggle for the championship. The team is Ranhnika that in his ninth championship takes a step, all hope to participate in European competitions now holds the German Cup match, which will hold against Duisburg.

And despite a defeat in the last round of Bayern, the match against the Red Devils Schalke went sufficiently motivated. After the referee gave the whistle to start the match, the Germans just went ahead. Before the meeting, coach Schalke noted that it is important to hold out the first fifteen minutes of the match. This guidance coaching players performed, but no more. Hyperactivity helzenkirhentsiv the attack ended in failure on the defensive. On the 25 th minute of the match gave Gibson cutting transfer to Valencia, who went face to face with Noyerom, opened the scoring in this match.

By game Schalke had a feeling that missed the ball in no upset the Germans, and they continued to show offensive football, forgetting the defensive line. Even the hero of the match in Gelsenkirchen goalkeeper Manuel Noyer today is unable to help his team. Six minutes is now Valencia Gibson gave to attack that ultra 'shot struck the goalkeeper.

A Schalke did not make them wait long. On the 34 th minute after a fight near the line of the penalty area the ball bounced to Hurado that powerful shot in the corner with no chance for Van der Sarah. After that Schalke has suffered. " Team up to break itself "hung" on the gate of the hosts, but scored in the meeting the Germans no longer shape.

After the break Ranhnik released fresh Edu, who felt refreshed offensive line team. Schalke continued to play fast and aggressive, but in the middle of time "has come all at the same rake." Protection could not cope with Anderson, who for five minutes twice forced Noyera get the ball from its own grid gate.

Manchester United overlapping membership deservedly won, and now May 28 Team Alex Ferguson tries to take revenge on Barcelona for the final defeat in 2009. By the way, he mentor "blue garnet" Josep Guardiola watched with great interest the developments on the football field.

One can not but pay tribute and Ranhniku, which could prove Schalke until the semifinals of the Champions League. The team really looks very nice, trying to play fast football with lots of long and short programs, but should accept that level of "Manchester" messages yet higher. So now the club is to give all the forces fighting for his country's Cup to make the next season in the league in Europe. Even without Noyera, but with Raul, who has agreed to extend the contract even though the team will not participate in the Champions League draw.

Barcelona reached the final of the Champions League. "Holiday", "cheers", "God save the Catalan football and so on. But does this team, which will be the favorite in the final tournament to be around for a model of European football? Judging from the semi-finals against Real Madrid, damaged countless simulation "blauhranas" - no.

Interestingly, in the team is quite clear division of players feigning at every opportunity, and "honest" players. Belong to the second Messi and Xavi, Busquets to the first, and Pedro Maskerano. Iniesta and Villa - somewhere on the border. Why are players who just play football better than rivals - a question. Not great, because the ends justify the means, but still. In the first game, besides the usual "hellish misery" Catalans, there was an episode of seizure Pepe when Alves proved himself a fan of Stanislavsky.

Add the ability to play football and the ability to solicit referees cards to help opponents of judges - and now the recipe is actually invincible team. After what happened immediately after the break requires separate consideration. Ronaldo in attack and guests came together on Ihuayin Pique and Maskerano. Pique sfolil on the Portuguese, who had to pay Ihuayina. At the moment Ronaldo falls and touches Maskerano. Ihuayin smoothly perehraye Valdés, referee whistle, fixing the penalty in favor of the owners. Where is the logic? Ask in Blekkere where, in Belgium, perhaps, their own judiciary system.

Yes, the episode took place at very high speeds, but does that justify a referee? Decision of judge teams deprived spectators fantastic intrigues, because no better from the standpoint of an onlooker than when Real Madrid have brought in the bill and left him to play one more goal and could not be. And so ... So we saw the remake of the situation 9 years ago.

In the 2001/2002 season a couple years Champions League semi-final were Real Madrid against Barcelona and Manchester (of course, "United," City "then only could dream of European Cups) with the German club. The situation in general terms, repeated this year, just as peace kalamutnyka Bayer replaced Schalke. This somewhat similar status and Spanish clubs, but in mirror image. Then Real Madrid to win the Champions League in 1998 and 2000 and had "Superstar" (Figo, Zidane, Raul) in stock, a favorite of confrontation. Instead, Barcelona looked a dark horse, which lyhomanylo in the championship, but the number of "stars" Catalans are not too inferior to the capital club. Does that sound?

For full match lacked only the same score games, and it became! Then Real Madrid won away in 2:0, then brought home the bill, but satisfied with a draw 1:1. So, when Marcelo equalized through in this game, spectators, fans of the statistics might miss home, because everything was decided in advance.

If more serious, the match ended somewhat illogical given the events of the first half. It "Leopard" was undeniable advantage that could kill from the middle half, while Messi rozihravsya than once or twice. But Casillas saved the gate every time Real Madrid and intrigue in the confrontation. Busquets, Messi, Villa, Messi again - it seemed that the chance of neprohrash madrydtsiv actually in there.

And when the break Iniesta, whose fall sick and suffering, took the case and gave a thin belt to Pedro, the de facto all became clear. Slaughtering three goals to the gates of Barcelona for 35 minutes plus added - right supercomplex even for Real Madrid, playing with enthusiasm and in the optimum moment. And if the first cases were so-so, the absence of a second game affected the guests very much.

Let's calculate. Pepe, who resisted Messi during the previous game April series - one. Ramos, who is usually an order of magnitude more active in attacking than Arbeloa - two. But this loss is known in advance and Mourinho had to have a plan how to compensate them. But in addition to madrydtsiv actually was not a constructive part of the offensive midfielders. Kaka has once again proven that the "Real" - just not his team, and lost again Ezil under pressure. Add to this Ihuayina after injury and Adebayor, whose stubbornly Mourinho prefers over Benzema, who scored a lot this year, and the result is 4 (chotyroh!) positions in the "Real" were serious problems.

So Marcelo goal that was the result of individual actions di Maria, looked not very logical. After that game actually zakonservuvalasya, perfectly illustrating the famous adage about riding, not want, and bottoms that can not. Who was who - not hard to guess. And for added time remained only count simulations players "blauhranas, which has been mentioned. "Real" as he could help them by playing hard, because when your opponent falls on only one breath, it put it mildly, does not help cool game, and quite simply - annoying.

Now Barcelona is waiting for final opponent. And if the analogy in detail from 2002 m is unlikely to work - it Schalke must make a miracle and get to the finals, this is the main - the Spanish team win the game in front of the main EUROCUPS - question not so much. But miracles happen and someone like Alex Ferguson did not know about it. His "Manchester has proved it in almost the same far as 2002 and 1999-year ...

Central matches the 29 th round of the championship of Spain were played on Saturday - FC Barcelona defeated in his field Getafe and Real Madrid won the Derby.

The first goal in the Catalan match was scored at the 16 th minute. Dani Alves due to a penalty in the summer drove the ball under the bar gate Getafe - Codina was powerless.

To double their advantage Catalan club failed early in the second half. Messi rolled the ball in the penalty for Bojan, he took aim and with the help of a ricochet from Diaz sent the ball into the goal.

Two minutes before the end of regular time Getafe thanks to a goal Manu otkvital one goal, but more reviews are not enough. It is worth noting that Manu caused a big hit under the crossbar from the center of the penalty in the summer.

Real Madrid also had no problems with Atletico Madrid - on goals Benzema and Ozila "mattress" responded only in the end goal Aguero.

Jose Mourinho - a subtle psychologist, and the world's best coach, who is able to miraculously set up his team for a particular match. In the drawing 1 / 8 finals of the Champions League "cream" met with "Lion" and if in the first confrontation was a problem in Madrid - not to lose, then the return match Mourinho had to win. To do this, and was thrown into the battle from the first moments of Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed the last two matches of their team due to injury in a match against Malaga.

In general, the starting line-up Real Madrid's virtually no different from that of a few days earlier in his field in the Examples beat "Hercules", which allowed for a further 2 points closer to its main competitor for the title. But now is not about that.

In football Real Madrid in the head sat a result of the meeting of last season, the most prestigious European tournament, in which at the Santiago Barnabeu "recall" Lion "by Pyanicha goal 15 minutes before the final whistle, took the necessary draw 1:1, which on aggregate in the quarterfinals of the tournament paved the red carpet is French. Today, in the case of such an outcome match could be waiting for extra time and possibly a series of penalty kicks. But even before the whistle to break Marcelo questioned such an outcome. Ronaldo at the center gave the ball to the Brazilian, he has removed two defenders in the penalty, "Lyon" and sent the ball into the left corner Lloris.

Score in the accounting fight to all and sundry - Drogba, Anelka, Lampard, Zhirkov had a couple of points. Already in the third minute with a Lampard corner of the goalkeeper tried to open the scoring, but did not hit the wing with a sharp angle. A few minutes later a similar moment happened at Ashley Cole, but again the ball into the net gate from the outside.

Killing time after a beautiful combination of "aristocrats" was directed by Yuri Zhirkov, but the blow Russians missed the post. A minute later Anelka goes one on one with the keeper, but Wieland in the evening to function just fine.

In the first half there was another killer time with Zhirkov, when the gate along the sweep Nicolas Anelka ...

The "Copenhagen" in the first half there was only one realny moment - this is a shot Ndoya with a penalty kick after the ball hit the bar!

The second half of the meeting began with a "gun" Obi Mikel - blow took over the crossbar! After the "aristocrats" firmly settled on the side of the field of Danes, but the score did not succeed. Will charge it on bad luck this evening.

Incidentally, an interesting fact - the players, "Copenhagen" possessed the ball more than the big-name opponent.

Super dramatically match at the Allianz Arena brings to Inter in the quarter
After an impressive 6:0 against Hamburg in the Bundesliga and the backlog - and scoring the game - that had created the "Bavaria" in the first leg 1 / 8 finals of the Champions League in Milan and Bayern in the decisive duel with Inter was considered the favorite. However, it is no secret that the "kingdom of Munich," now is not so smooth - the litter in the house had accumulated quite a few from time to time out the door (that is, in the media) leaks. For van Gala current draw of the Champions League, taking into account loses the fight, remained a hope of his right to "get away with head held high" (though knowing the proud van Gala, we assume that the Dutchman is still that way and go), and in all these phrases coaches in various interviews, saying, "even if victorious in the Champions League in Bayern will not stay," betrays a subtext: "Behold win in the Champions League, then you are you, Herr Hennessy, Beckenbauer and Rummenigge, ask me back, but it's too late .
One way or another, but now for Bayern, which is not just a club, but a symbol, the flag of the German football season dips (especially after optimistically setting up a successful season last). Associated with this failure will be van Gala. Maybe not always true. But the fact remains - today at Allianz-Arena "Inter" struck a painful blow to the pride of Dutch coach, who quite differently has seen its separation from Munich, and, of course, the ambitions of most of Bayern.

... The fact that today in Bavaria will be hot, it became clear already at the third minute of the meeting - perhaps the very first attack of the guests and the ball in the net gate Kraft! Dagger-transfer Pandev, killer instinct predator from Eto'o - and helps the advantages of the Bavarians, as had happened!
