Opinion
The Champions League this season has been really exciting, as teams who would have made it to round sixteen on papers are already out of the competition.
The Champions League this season has been really exciting, as teams who would have made it to round sixteen on papers are already out of the competition.
Inter has resurrected, Napoli are looking like they could do it, Roma are really strong, Juventus have the credibility to do it again and Lazio could pull a surprise...
Watford this season may not be a Leicester of 2015-2016 season but they are absolutely doing a good job so far, in the present Premier League campaign.
According to morning reports, Everton are set to appoint Sam Allardyce as their next boss. The reports suggest that the former England boss will sign a deal until the end of the season, which suggests that the Merseysiders see him as a short-term fix.
Dele Alli is a talented footballer, no doubt. The twenty year old player has been one of the most important players for Mauricio Pochettino’s team since his arrival a couple of years ago.
Perhaps one of the most underrated football managers in the world right now is Leonardo Jardim. Currently considered one of the best at building and maximising abilities of youngsters, the Portuguese tactician is fast making a name for himself as one of the most adaptive managers in world football.
When Jose Mourinho was appointed Manchester United manager in 2016, and it was seen as very bad news for the club’s academy by some fans. There has always been an opinion of Jose Mourinho, even by some Manchester United fans that he doesn’t care about bringing players through from the academy, only about established stars.
Antonio Conte was appointed at Chelsea last season, at the end of a season that saw the club finish at one of the lowest positions they have finished in recent times.
Jupp Heynckes was approached to replace Carlo Ancelotti after the Italian tactician was sacked on September 28.The sack came after Bayern Munich lost 3-0 to Paris St. Germain in their last Champions League clash. A couple of weeks later, Heynckes was installed as manager in his fourth stint at the Bavarian club.
Compared to most other managers in the Premier League, Sean Dyche’s managerial career is at its infancy. Besides getting promoted to the post of manager after Malky Mackay left Cardiff City in 2011, Burnley is Sean Dyche’s first real managerial job, and he has done decently well so far considering the resources he has had available to him.
Claudio Ranieri may not be spoken of in the same breath as other managers like Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, etc., but he certainly deserves a lot of respect.
It has been the opinion of many a football analyst and enthusiast that when it comes to talent, Lionel Messi is arguably better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but when it comes to hard work, very few players can match the attitude and mental fortitude of the Portuguese.
For much of the season, fans have tried to work out what sort of team Everton are. The Toffees are not a passing, pressing or high-energy team. They are not a team that grinds out wins or a long ball team.
Manchester United finally succumbed to a loss in the Premier League on the weekend, and it was to an unexpected side. Juan Mata and Victor Lindelof made individual mistakes that provided Huddersfield with openings that led to two goals and eventually gave them their first win over Manchester United in sixty-five years.
Tottenham Hotspurs have been improving for quite a while. At a time, their style of football and results against the big teams weren’t doing much to improve their final position on the log, even though they were playing really well. This led to a cross-section of football fans to tag them the unluckiest team in football.
In last couple of days, there have been reports linking Mesut Ozil to Manchester United. This is a strange development, considering the body language and comments from the player and the club since last season. Going by comments from Arsene Wenger and even from Ozil himself, most fans expected that both parties would arrive at an agreement at a point and that the player would sign a new contract eventually, but if recent reports are anything to go by, that may not happen.
Who would have thought Kevin De Bruyne would be this good when Jose Mourinho first brought him to the Premier League five years ago? He certainly didn’t burst on the scene like a certain Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo did years back, he crept up on us.
Jose Mourinho’s career so far has been that of a sojourner in football. Fans of opposition clubs have called him several names; from a managerial nomad to a glory hunter, but however you feel about his managerial map, one can’t deny his managerial record.
AC Milan had one of their busiest transfer windows ever recently. With a £200million+ spending spree that saw them bring in over ten players, the club is announcing to their domestic rivals that they are no longer messing around. The Italian side was one of the biggest clubs in European football just some years back, but a combination of mismanagement and poor decision-making on the part of the board led to years of decline that they are now trying to end.
