Incredible!

With a 3-1 deficit at Anfield to turn over thanks to two headed goals from Branislav Ivanovic and a goal off Didier Drogba Liverpool had to pull off a miracle to get into the Semi-Finals. Chelsea had 3 away goals too to boot. It looked near impossible. And with the news that influential skipper, Steven Gerrard with a groin injury. The odds were completely against them. In the first half hour of this encounter. The Brazilian left back Fabio Aurelio who should be the first choice left back for Brazil with his form for Liverpool this season. Caught the Chelsea defense and Petr Cech out with a low drilled free kick in the right hand corner of the net. Then, from a free kick, Branislav Ivanovic turned from hero to villain for Chelsea fans as he wrapped his arms around Xabi Alonso and Liverpool were awarded a penalty which, he converted easily. Petr Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper was a bag of nerves and did not look at his best. Misjudging balls and running out when not needed. This game proved that Buffon was the number one goalkeeper in the world as he can the take the pressure. The whistle for the first half went and Liverpool lead Chelsea 2-0 at half time. They just needed one more goal to win the tie. Was they going to do the impossible once again?

The second half went to Chelsea's favour. They were still nervous, especially Petr Cech. But, from a strong run from Nicholas Anelka down the right wing and a cross which, Drogba put his foot on ahead of the Liverpool defender who came of the near post. Reina expected the defender, Skrtel to clear it but he didn't and Reina couldn't steer the ball away from goal and the ball went in back of net. Minutes later Chelsea had gained confidence from their earlier goal and looked a different side from the first half. They attacked and got fouled and were awarded a free kick. Alex took it and scored a belter. Putting it into the top right hand corner. Reina stood no chance. Another player showing Dunga maybe he should be in the first team over the aging Lucio. So, Chelsea, had scored 2 goals in over 5 minutes of the second half. Then ten minutes later. Clever play off Ballack who passed it to Drogba and Anelka distracted two liverpool defenders with a run into the box. Drogba played the ball back into the middle of the box behind Anelka but, in front of Lampard who smashed it home. It was 6-3 on aggregate to Chelsea. Surely, Liverpool couldn't come back now? 

Alex being mobbed by Drogba and Ballack after, scoring his free kick.

It took Liverpool around 20 more minutes to score another goal. But, the most unlikely player scored it for Liverpool. Lucas Leiva has been under much criticism by the football world and even Liverpool fans. As he doesn't play very Brazilian for a Brazilian. But he was given too much space outside the box and had a shot which deflected off Micheal Essien's arm. This wrong footed Cech and it went into the back of the net. Then, Bentez introduced Albert Reina from the substitute bench and he finally got a cross down the right wing. Kuyt moved from his position on the wing into the centre and headed it into the back of the net. Now, Liverpool only needed one goal to win. Liverpool were proving everybody wrong they can play amazing football even without Steven Gerrard! But, Chelsea put the final nail into the coffin when a pass to Frank Lampard and his first time shot went past Pepe Reina and into the back of the net. An amazing goal. Liverpool threatened late on with a shot off David Ngog that Essien headed off the line because Cech made another mistake. I think this game proved that Cech hasn't been the same after his head accident when Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt slide tackled but, got his head not the ball. He was just a bag of nerves today.

Chelsea v Liverpool

The best game you'll see in a long time.

Today, we witness Manchester United vs FC Porto and Villarreal vs Arsenal two close games which, you can watch on www.justin.tv. I am bagging for a FC Porto victory because they have 2 away goals and they did a sismilar tactic to Atletico Madrid when they scored 2 away goals against them then, killed the game off in the return leg. Also, Arsenal should win due to Senna and Carzola being out injured for Villareal. I know Gallas is out but, Arsenal still have enough quality to beat a Villarreal team on bad form. After, they lost to Almeria 3-0 on the weekend and lost the previous game in the LaLiga too.

The Brazilian backbone of Shakhtar Donetsk

The Shakhtar Story : On the Verge of the Uefa Cup (Europa League) Semi Finals?



Why do Brazilians migrate to Eastern Europe? Easy answer, as the leagues there can offer them more money and they can offer its parent club more money then the Western European clubs can. Many owners of the top teams own huge reserves of coal,gas, steel and oil. The likes of Vagner Love and Daniel Carvahalo play for Russian side CSKA Moscow. Raphael Alex plays for Spartak Moscow and former Cruzeiro player Milohem Guilherme has just signed a deal with Dynamo Kiev of Ukraine. Many of the teams have more Brazilians in their first team then their own native country. The teams are turning foreign like teams in the west such as, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool. This can only be a good thing. As the more competition the big teams have; the harder European competitions like he Champion's League and the Uefa Cup become. Furthermore, the Western European teams will struggle to get talent around the world due to the amount of money at the Eastern European team's disposal. This means the West may not be able to get the world's best players. And with the Eastern European teams having the best players they can start winning big competition in Europe like the Uefa Cup. At the moment most young talent do want to move to big clubs in the west due to their history and the reputation they have. Rich clubs in Eastern Europe are usually snubbed or considered as stepping stones. Move there, play some good football and impress them and then leave for a bigger club. Kakha Kalazade may not be Brazilian but, he a Georgian did that by playing for Dynamo Kiev for a couple of seasons. Then, he moved to AC Milan. A big European club.

Shakhtar Donetsk are the current Ukrainian Premier League champions. However, this year they are struggling domestically. The champions are 15 points behind leaders Dynamo Kiev and sit in second place. Also, they have Metalist Karkiv one point behind them. All of these teams have played the same amount of games. Shakhtar Donetsk know that it will be a miracle if they can get first at this late part of the season. So, their goal is to keep Metalist at bay and get the second Champion's League Qualifying Spot as third go into the Uefa Cup (next year it shall be called the Europa League).

Shakhtar Donetsk's progress in Europe has been more comfortable. They like to keep the ball and pass it around and due to their many Brazilians tricks and skills are necessary in their play. They easily qualified using this style of football in the Champion's League Qualifying round against Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb. It only took them three minutes to penetrate the outside of their box winning a free kick when the defence hauled down Shaktar's Croatian Dario Srna. He took the free kick and scored. Then, in the second half Brandao, another Brazilian was released down the left for a powerful run and he crossed it in. The ball was half cleared and Jadson, another Brazilian smacked it in the back of net. Another of Shakhtar's Brazilians, midfielder Willian, then sent a shot just past the post as the Ukrainian champions aimed to put the tie beyond their visitors. They were then put in a tough European group with Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon and FC Basel. They comfortably beat Basel with an amazing 25 yard free kick off their best and most talented Brazilian Fernandinho and a goal off Jadson once more. Unfortunately 3 consecutive defeats followed. Even though Brazilian right back/right midfielder Ilishinso put them ahead of Barcelona on 45 minutes two late goals of arguably the best player in the world, Lionel Messi settled the game and made Barcelona victorious. They had their chances when Brandao crossed it in and Luiz Adriano set up Ilihinso who missed from close range. Then, 2 more defeats followed at the hands of Sporting Lisbon. It was pretty much over their Champion's League experience but with a few comfortable wins and a history breaking win against Barcelona at Camp Nou secured them 3rd spot in the group over FC Basel and they would enter the Uefa Cup as a consolation prize. Even though Barcelona played many youth players the victory is still huge as it shows how the teams in Eastern Europe are progressing.


The 3-2 win over Barcelona at Camp Nou.

The Uefa Cup they got automatically put into the Top 32 and eased [past a Tottenham Hotspur B Team. Resting their first team players for the English Premier League Relegation battle. This was obviously good for Shakhtar as it was an easy victory. A strike off Fernandinho in the last four minutes of the second leg in England sealed their victory. Then they overcame the 2005 winners, CKSA Moscow after going down 1-0 in the first leg. Courtesy of a Vagner Love penalty five minutes into the second half. But, a decisive 2- 0 win in the second leg sealed it for them. Fernandinho scored a penalty and then a mix up in the CKSA defense and CSKA's goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev drooping the ball after, failing to catch it. Gave Luiz Adriano the perfect chance to seal the game off. And he did.


Luiz Adraino's clinical goal.

Unfortunately, Brandao their main striker left for Marseille. Ironically, they got paired to play Marseille in the Quarter Finals. Brandao was cup tied so, he couldn't play. With the loss of Brandao their attack force would be weakened and it would be only Luiz Adriano up front. But with keeping the ball and having a majority of the possession they were up 1 -0 at half time due to a cross that was failed to be cleared by the Marseille defense and Steve Madanda failed to save the ball and pushed it into the path of Hübschman who finished a simple tap in from close range. For the second time, Shakhtar scored on the break. Willian, only introduced for Ilsinho two minutes earlier, cut in from the right and found Adriano, who played a one-two with Fernandinho before finding Jadson in space to tap in after 65 minutes. Absolutely, tight passing and Brazilian like.


Highlights of Shakhtar's 2 - 0 win over Marseille.

On Thursday they have the return leg where they play Marseille at the Velodrome, Marseille. They have the clear advantage with a 2-0 lead and can score sway goals too. It is this Thursday. www.itv.com shall show the game online. Or www.justin.tv.

But, the Brazilians I think which, will break into Western Europe is :

Fernandinho.

Fernandinho played for Atletico Paranaense and moved to Shakhtar after 3 years there in 2005. In 72 appearances there he scored 14 goals. In 77 appearances he has scored 12 goals for Shakhtar and is arguably the best player in Ukraine at the moment. He has won the player of the season last season and is always a threat going forward. He is an attacking midfielder but, can also play wing. He prefers the left side of midfield to the right side of midfield though. In The Champion's League he made 6 appearances scoring 2 goals. And in the Uefa Cup he has scored 2 goals in 5 appearances. He is considered as their playmaker and is their vice captain if Srna is not fit too play or carrying on playing. Also, he takes their penalties.



Jadson.

Many people may argue that Jadson is better then Fernandinho. At 25 clubs may will have to snap him up now in Western Europe before he stops playing at his peak. In five appearances in the Champion's League he scored 4 goals. And in appearances in the Uefa Cup he has scored 2 goals. He is truly a goal scoring machine for them . He plays in midfield but, likes to get foward and scores goal. He is an attacking minded midfielder. Also, like Fernandinho he played for Atletico Paranaense and moved to Shakhar after 3 years there in 2005. In 65 appearances for them he scored 21 goals and for 75 appearances for Shakhtar he has scored 20 goals. He enjoys to take long range shots like Fernandinho and uses tricks and skills to get past defenders. He was pretty much non-existent in the game against Marseille but, played much better when he scored.


Jadson celebrating a goal with Luiz Adriano.


Brandao

Okay. Brandao has moved to Western Europe but, I just couldn't leave him out. Brandao was snapped up by Marseille January this year. He played for around 5 Brazillian clubs before moving to Shakhtar. He spent 6 to 7 years with Shakhtar netting 60 goals in 129 appearances. His Marseille career is looking good with 5 goals in 11 appearances. Unfortunately, he did not net a goal in his 5 appearances in the Champion's League this season for Shakhtar but, did many assists that led to goals. He is a strong bulky centre forward. And with Dunga needing to replace Adriano. Will Brandao take his place ? He has competition from the younger Hulk and Kerrison. Will Dunga pick him? Only time will tell.



Yes there are others in the form of Luiz Adriano, who I feel needs more experience. And Ilihinso. But, these three have stuck out in Shakhtar's squad. And now if they hold onto their advantage against Marseille they will go into the Uefa Cup Semi Finals for the first time in their history. Dynamo Kiev their rivals can do this. But, have a harder challenge. Their didn't get any goals in Paris against Paris Saint Germain, PSG and now are playing at home. Were PSG can get away goals. So on Thurday the world will see if Ukraine can make football history.



So, I am rooting for a Shakhtar victory !

What are little devils called ? Fiends?

Glory Glory Man United?

Manchester United are known all across the globe. They have fans from Asia to Africa and are the holders of the Champion's League and the World Club Cup. With them being the holders of these two prestigious tournaments it is really hard to deny that they are not the best club in the world at the current moment. If you hate them or love them you will still have to admit they are pretty fantastic at times and have amazing players at their disposal. Such as, Cristiano Ronaldo. Who won Fifa Player of the year for scoring over 40 goals in a season; last season. And he isn't even a striker! He's a winger! And the temperamental Wayne Rooney who can score shockers and other young talent such as, Nani, Anderson and Rafael. And now we have entered the point of this post. The young talent at Manchester United's fingers.  

Last year Manchester United purchased two promising young talents from Portugal. One from Sporting Lisbon which, they purchased Ronaldo from and the other from the Dragons, FC Porto. Both cost them over 10 million and that is quite a hefty price tag for two young players who have not yet proved themselves on the big stage. This could be a gamble theta Manchester United would regret.

He played his youth career at Real de Massama and then moved to Sporting Lisbon.

The player from Sporting Lisbon is Luis Nani; a winger who can play on either side of the wing and can play with both feet.  Sporting Lisbon are legendary for creating some of the best wingers in modern time. Such as, Cristiano Ronaldo and Simao of Atletico Madrid. In his first season at Sporting Lisbon he scored four goals in 29 appearances.He had similar stats in his second season. His surging runs and fast feet can even compete with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Robinho.  Also, he scored 1 goal in Europe in 6 appearances.

Manchester United bought him for a fee thought to be 14 million to 19 million with fees going to his parent club Real De Massama. He scored on his debut for Manchester United in pre season and scored again the following game with a nice chip on the right side of the box. He played well throughout that upcoming season and earned a call off the Portugal Manager Luis Felipe Scolari in Euro 2008. He has had 19 appearances for the Portugal First Team and has found the net 4 times. 

Anderson, son son. He's better than Kleberson. Anderson, son son. He's our midfield magician. To the left, to the right. To the samba beat tonight. He is class with a brass. And he shits on Fabregas!

The other player was FC Porto's Anderson. Who if you read the title has a song that United fans made about him. He never played alot of games for Porto like with Gremio due to a defender breaking his leg. But, his time at Gremio proved he had alot of potential and talent. He scored a belter that promoted them to the first division. Unbelievably, he only played six games for Gremio and Porto snapped him up. He is a left footed Central Midfielder but, can also, play the role of an Attacking Midfielder. He is a Brazilian International and has an ever constant place in Dunga's squad with 8 appearances for his National team. He has never really shown his true potential at Manchester United yet then Nani has in my honest opinion. I know there is more to come. Even though he had not played alot of games in professional level Manchester United has bought him for around 18 million so, there must be something bigger to come. In 37 appearances he is yet to score a goal for Manchester United but he has assisted many.

 The best thing about Anderson is his passing. Also, he has alot of determination and doesn't give up easily. Here is the goal that promoted Gremio :

Many people see Anderson and Nani as the successors to veterans Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. 

During, the January Transfer Window Manchester United bought two players. Two serbians. These two players were pretty much unknown in the football world. Adem Ljajic and Zoran Tosic. Tosic went straight into the Manchester United squad but, Ljajic who is 17 went on loan to the team that Manchester United signed both of them from, FK Partizan. 

There is not alot known about Ljajic except he is 17 and he is an attacking midfielder. He has not yet broken in the Serbian First Team but, plays for Serbia in Under-21 level. In 21 appearances he has scored 4 goals. For 17 appearances for Partizan he has scored 4 goals aswell.

Tosic has been around the bloke in Serbia. He had played for three teams already including Partizan before he moved to Manchester United. In 81 appearances for all those clubs he racked up 16 goals. He made his debut for United in the Premiership as a substitute in the 77th minute fro Dmitar Berbatov against West Bromwich Albion. He has also came off the bench against Tottenham Hotspur in the 82nd minute for Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a left sided and left footed winger. Also, he made 12 appearnces for the Serbia U-21s finding the net twice. He has made 13 appearances for the Serbia First Team but its yet to find the net. Due to his performances he turned heads in his direction in Europe but Manchester United finally got his services.

Probably, what you have been waiting for! The Brazilian twins. Rafael and Fabio. Both teams played for Fluminese at youth level then Manchester United bought them both after, their successful trial.

Rafael has been the one who has settled due to him not picking up injuries. He scored an amazing chested volley against Arsenal. A small consolation prize as Manchester United lost that game 2-1 due to Samir Nasri's two brilliant long range strikes. He has replaced Gary Neville as Manchester United's first choice right back and can make surging runs down the right wing. Even though he is a right back he can play right midfield. Unfortunately, he has been injured for some time now but, he will be back in action around next week. Which, will be a boost for United's title hopes and their Champion League hopes if they overcome FC Porto.

People in Brazil regard Fabio the better of the twins. He captained the U17 Brazil team to win the U17 World Cup and was the top scorer of the tournament even though he was a left back. He is similar to Rafael, but he uses the left wing and has a better shooting ability and can score more goals. Injury has stopped him of late of breaking into the United team and challenge Evra to that Left Back Position.

Whoever heard of Federico Macheda until 2 weeks ago. The 17 year old Centre Foward has made a big name for himself already in England. When he netted a late winner against Aston Villa where Manchester United where losing 2-1 for 79 minutes of the game. Where he resurrected their title hopes and kept Liverpool at bay. Then a week later he repeated the act when he scored a a late winner against Sunderland when United was drawing against them 1-1. Due to these two performances Alex Ferguson hailed him by describing him as 'special'. On his debut as a substitute he scores a goal and repeating the feat again. He is somebody to look out for. The long term replacement for Berbatov who is 28 now? Maybe he is. Manchester United snapped him up from the Lazio Youth Academy. This annoyed the President alot and he started to complain again when he heard Macheda was becoming a sucess. Due to Italain rules on young footballers it is basically, impossible to keep a good Italian youngster unless they desire to stay. Plantini a very important member of Uefa is trying to change this as it is unfair.

Other youngsters from United include Johnny Evans from Northern Ireland who has stepped into the Centre of Defense when Rio Ferdinand or Nemanjic Vidic have been suspened (Evans in top ten rising stars in the Uefa Champions League by Uefa) or injured Also, Darron Gibson of the Republic Of Ireland has played a few games in the Carling Cup and has looked impressive and so has Richard Eckelesly. Also, Ben Foster has impressed in goal and got a Man of the Mtach winning performance in the Carling Cup Final win against Tottenham Hotspur. The future Mnachester United team could look like this :

Goalkeeper : Foster

Defense : Fabio Evans Vidic Rafael

Midfield : Nani Anderson Ljajic Ronaldo

Fowards : Rooney Macheda

Subs : Tosic, Eckesely, Gibson etc

The only youngsters I can see taking part of Manchester United's upcoming Champion's League tie with FC Porto would be Anderson,Nani and maybe Macheda. It would an emotional return for Anderson thats for sure. Maybe a little booing for Nani as he played for their rivals Sporting Lisbon. The game starts at 19:45 GMT London, Lisbon (Greenwich). Or Macheda might make his first appearance in Europe and show the whole of Europe what he is capable of.

The FC Porto Generation

FC Porto : The Dragons

My first opinion of FC Porto this season was a mediocre European team with hardly no talent. This was because they were demolished by Arsenal with hardly no effort at all. And Arsenal played many youngsters such as, Ramsey and Vela. I thought what had happened since the Mourinho era where Costhina netted a late goal earning them a historic aggregate win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. I knew Porto was a selling club. Were they would sell their players and buy new young stars. For example, they sold Deco, Maniche, Carvaholo and bought Diego and others. Losing Ricardo Quaresma was a big shock for me and I thought they would struggle in the Champion's League without him. As he was their playmaker. Unfortunately, Quarsema hasn't adapted to foreign football like when he moved to Barcelona and Inter has passed him on loan to Chelsea where he hasn't impressed as well. And bringing in this new unknown Brazilian kid as his replacement maybe, nicknamed Hulk due to his resemblance to Hollywood actor Lou Ferringo, who played the comic book hero. Furthermore, they nicknamed him Hulk even more due to him playing for Tokyo Verdy in Japan and wearing a green jersey. They bought Aly Cissohko in to bolster their defence. And in my opinion he is better then their other left back, Fucile of Uruguay.  But, after seeing their progress through the competition I realized they were gradually getting better. Now they are at the Quarter Final Stages of the biggest tournament in Europe, the Champion's League with 2 away goals against the current winners Manchester United. Can they shock the world once more? Only time will tell. But, what interests me is their South American influence and their youth talent :

Givanildo Vieira de Souza, aka Hulk

Hulk is an unusual centre forward. He is very strong and uses sharp turns and step overs to bamboozle defenders. Due to his range of tricks you would expect him to be a winger like Robinho or Cristiano Ronaldo. Furthermore, he likes to have long range shots. These shots are of great power and speed. His first touch can be brilliant at times but, sometimes he has a habit of wanting to go the whole way without passing it to someone in a better position. He was in Uefa.com's top ten rising stars.

Many people were shocked even at Porto how good he was as he played in the Japanese League which, is not a top, competitive football league and soon he gained a starting place in the Porto line up with his strong performances ; nicking Sektioui's place. In Japan his record at Tokyo Verdy was impressive and scary. Scoring 44 goals in 55 appearances. Those three years in Japan really paid off as he is confident in front of goal and has a very attacking football mind. And that 6 million Euro price tag that Porto paid for him is increasing constantly. 

Against Atletico Madrid he had a stellar performance. Driving the defense mad and was dubbed by the Spanish newspapers the new Ronaldo. United had similar problems against the muscular forward. Were he should of got at least one penalty. First Vidic who has been argued the best centre back in the world at the moment looked average. Hulk ran past him with ease and his strength which, intimidates forwards was nothing against the strength Hulk had. Resulting in Vidic wrestling him to the fall when he entered the box in a dangerous position. Also, Tevez fouled him by using a slide tackle and made no contact with the ball. He won the Man of the Match Award by Uefa.com for that match. 

From his amazing performances he should be given a chance at National Level. Getting into the Brazil National Team must be murder. Due to the sheer brilliance you must compete with. But, with Adriano not being as lethal as he used to be and he announcing a break from football. Dunga has a slot to fill in the National team. Hulk has many similarities with Adriano and plays in Europe which, Dunga wants all of his National team to do.

Here is a video of what Hulk can be capable. An amazing strike :

Aly Cissokho

Another player that many people would not expect to reach this level was Aly Cissohko. He was playing for Victoria Setbul one year ago in the French Second Division. Porto bought him for around 600, 000 thousand euros. He was an absolute bargain. And he proved against Manchester United how class he is. With strong runs into their box from his left back position and forcing Cristiano Ronaldo to come back and defend he weakened Manchester United's attackive force by attacking and caused problems with his crosses into the box. From that performance he has already aroused interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Raymond Domenach might want to look at him for the France Squad as he runs result in more things then Evra's runs in my opinion. And is he performs at that level again in the second leg bigger clubs will be looking to buy him. Here is how he can be so attackive :

Fernando Francisco Reges

The next player that has impressed and is young at Porto is the Brazilian Fernando who was bought in to replace Paulo Assaunco who left for Atletico Madrid during the Summer. He has similar qualities to Paulo and had a stellar performance against Manchester United. Playing very well against Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. He moved to Porto from Vila Nova. He signed a five year contract with Porto but was immediately loaned out to gain experience. And it looks like it has paid off. Unfortunately, he never made the Brazil Under 20 World Cup Squad.

Cristian Rodriguez

He started his career at Penerol in his home country of Uruguay. He played well enough there to grant a move to French Giants Paris Saint Germain, PSG. He never really impressed there but, did help them fend off relegation and was soon put on loan to Benfica. He impressed at Benfica and caught Portos' eye. So, Porto bought him off PSG. Porto used three pronged attack with Hulk, Lisandro Lopez and him. This is very effective and sometimes Hulk and Lisandro Lopez switch positions to confuse defenders. He is a very attacking minded player and played very well against Manchester United and throughout the tournament.Scoring a well placed strike and causing young Northern Irish Manchester United Centre Back Johnny Evans a very bad night.

So, there is the new youth system operating at FC Porto. They host Manchester United at home on Wednesday with two away goals at the Estadio Do Dragao. Where no English team has beat them there in the Champion's League. Bad statistics for Manchester United. Be sure to keep an eye out for some of these dazzling youngsters. Especially, Hulk and Rodriguez. Any comments and constructive criticism is welcome. Have Fun and keep coming back here.
