Adidas launched the world's first pair of seamless running shoes. Once you arrived the top of mountain, you would see the mountains are little. The phrase of classic statement from the poem Du Fu has become the motto of many Donkey Friends. For one it is very convenient. Football jerseys come in different colors and designs. There are so many things that separate one shirt from another. Searching for the right shirt requires a little help. With a search engine, that is easy. Wh
After the acquisition by Abu Dhabi United Group, Manchester City joinsthe latest to enter the club of rich owners (let's call them theMillion Dollar Clubs). The group not only includes the clubs whichstarted or looking to achieve greatness after their high profiletakeover (Manchester city, Chelsea etc) but also the ones which havebeen more successful in terms of championship (Madrid, Barcelona,Milan, ManU etc). The supporters of these historical clubs are bound tooppose these takeovers questioning their morality. But more than themoral side; the actions of these big historical clubs are the one whichmakes these acquisition legitimate. They/their fans never had anyproblems in going in for any players in any part of the world butsuddenly their moral sense rises when one of the newly rich clubs takesthe same path. It is same as United States and United Kingdom askingRussia to respect Sovereign Borders of respective countries. To Read the Original article - Million Dollar ClubsTheyearly transfer saga hit a low point this summer with accusation afteraccusation being laid on each other. Manchester United complainedofficially to FIFA about the way Real Madrid approached Ronaldo.Manchester United may be right to approach FIFA; but then if we lookinto the broader perspective what moral right does Manchester Unitedhave to complain about Real Madrid when taking into consideration theRooney and Berbatov saga. For this matter no club including Barcelonais different. Every club cries foul when they are the victims but neverhesitates to use the same approach to get players out of other clubs.Real Madrid has been the one who made the entire situation worse. I amnot referring to the way they bought out the Galacticos or the way theywent after Christiano Ronaldo. They introduced the new method which iswidely used in the transfer market at present. Lets call it the ProxyTransfer Market War". This includes public statement of appreciationand admiration about a particular player (who is well settled in someother club) by members close to the club. This unsettles the poorplayer as he is also human and gets tempted away by the greatest richesin offer. The Adebayor saga is the prime example where our clubBarcelona was also involved. Adebayor cannot be faulted for beingtempted; but what it did to him is disastrous. Now he stands in aposition where he has to desperately win back the fan's confidence.Gone are those days when the entire transfer dealing were kept secretand was broken out only when the deal is almost fixed. But now most ofthe clubs effectively use the media to unsettle rival clubs andplayers. Just half of these media driven transfer takes place leaving avery disgruntled player and club working together.There is nopoint in questioning the morality of these actions as we all justifythe actions of our favourite clubs. Who cares whether it's bad or goodfor football? But isn't it time for everyone to take notice of thesefacts? The difference in terms of wealth and hence quality between thebigger clubs and smaller clubs have been at its peak now. Now theleagues resembles something like the F1 race where the teams likeJaguar etc are there to make the numbers. One way we can very wellwelcome the acquisition of Manchester City as from next season onwardsas it will break the club of big four in England and restructure it tobe the club of big five. Manchester City has already showed theirintentions by buying Robinho and already started their process ofunsettling Ronaldo, Kaka, Buffon, Henry etc. In that sense ManchesterCity may become a savior for Barcelona if they continue their pursuitof Henry. But is it good for football, I don't know for sure. ButI do believe that these entire obsessions with stars are taking a tollin the youth systems of these clubs. Most of these clubs are discardingthe youth academies, many smaller clubs who is having excellent youthacademies may also follow the suit as they see more of their talentsgetting stolen away. The only solution may be the youth academiesgetting a part of these talented youngsters enumeration for some yearsat least early on. But in all these mess Sepp Blatter and his proposedidea of limiting the number of foreign players may come as a savior. Ihave earlier written about my views on Sepp Blatter Proposals.I still believe if we can force the clubs to have a limited number ofhome grown talents in each playing eleven this could do wonders. Thismay resurrect the sleeping youth systems and will cut down themaddening rush after stars and we may see players staying in the clubfor more time and more over this should cut down expense which meanslesser priced tickets for fans. Now hows that for a dream?
