Marek — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 19:15:36 +0000

Manchester United have mainly been linked with Chelsea star Nemanja Matic as far as the defensive midfield reinforcement is concerned.
Yesterday, we covered a report (via Independent) claiming that United are ready to spend big to sign the former Benfica star.
Now, a new name is in the lime light in the form of Belgian international and Anderlecht star Leander Dendoncker.
According to DeMorgen, Manchester United will send their scout to Belgium with only one mission, to monitor the play breaker

The Belgian source have mentioned that Anderlecht have slapped a price tag of 38 million euros ($44million) on Leander, who is high on Jose Mourinho’s wishlist.
Dendoncker is naturally a defensive midfielder but he can effectively play as a center half as well. In the last campaign, he featured in over 50 games for Anderlecht in all competitions and scored six goals.
Matic has got the all important Premier League experience under his belt but he will turn 29 in a few days. On the other hand, Leander turned 22 this year and has got his peak years ahead of him.
In your opinion, should Manchester United sign Matic or Dendoncker?

Marek — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 05:15:10 +0000

Manchester United are on a brilliant winning run and it will be intriguing to see if they can extend that streak when they face arch rivals Liverpool.
The Red Devils are linked with top players in the winter transfer window as Mourinho looks to improve his squad.
Moreover, the Portuguese boss also wants to hold onto his key players and perhaps Belgian international Marouane Fellaini is one of them.
The former Everton midfielder started the season poorly and was even criticized by the United faithful, however, Mourinho opted to stick with the 29-year-old star and he has improved.
The Old Trafford club lured Fellaini on a four year deal with the option of a further year when David Moyes was in charge of the club. The former Standard Liege star currently earns (Star) £80,000-a-week ($100,000-a-week) and now Manchester United have activated the clause and agreed his extension for one more year.
Marouane has featured in 21 games for the Red Devils this season and scored only one goal. In your opinion, did Fellaini deserve the extension?

Rating Performance of Liverpool Stars – Netherlands vs Belgium

Marek — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 10:45:42 +0000

Netherlands collided against Belgium in a friendly contest last night and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Klaassen opened the scoring for the Dutch in the 38th minute of the game and Atletico Madrid star Carrasco equalized in the 82nd minute.
Two Liverpool stars in the form of Georginio Wijnaldum and Simon Mignolet featured against each other in the contest.
5.5 – Wijnaldum has been impressive for the Reds since joining the club from Newcastle in summer and the former PSV star scored his first goal for Liverpool last weekend.
Surprisingly, Wijnaldum started the game in an unusual right wingback position and found it hard adjusting to the new role. However, he quickly improved and started to track back well.
In the second half, he played in his preferred midfield position and showed glimpses of quality.
6 – As far as Mignolet is concerned, in the first half he collided with Tottenham striker Janssen who had to be taken off. He made a few good saves but overall had little to do as Netherlands did not create many chances.
Klaasen scored thanks to a well taken penalty against the former Sunderland goalie. Simon’s lack of first team football meant that he was not really sharp but still did well in the absence of first choice goalie Courtois.

Wales, the world’s 26th ranked team, collided against Belgium, the highest ranked European side, in the quarter final of the European Championships last night.
The impressive Welsh team, led by Ashley Williams, came back from a goal down to oust the Belgian Red Devils. It was not about luck at all but the sheer will of a unified side that deservedly eliminated the world’s 2nd ranked team from the competition.
Belgium dominated the opening proceedings and took the lead thanks to a stunning goal scored by Roma star Radja Nainggolan in the 13th minute.
However, after going a goal down, Chris Coleman’s men bounced back and constantly piled pressure on the Belgian defense. In the 31st minute, Ramsey’s delivery from the corner found Ashley Williams completely unmarked and the captain headed the ball in the net to equalize for Wales.
Belgium started the second half impressively as well but once again Wales responded in style. In the 55th minute, Robson-Kanu’s brilliant Cruyff turn shocked the Belgian defense and the 27-year-old attacker scored to give Wales the lead.
The Red Devils pushed for an equalizer but the Welsh side were in no mood of inviting pressure. Belgians were left hopeless when Vokes scored the third goal with a brilliant header to book Wales’ first ever semi final place in a major competition.
The video highlights of the game are provided below.

Wales will face Belgium in the second quarter final of the European Championships. Who will come out on top?
The two teams collided in the qualification group games as well and Wales defeated Belgium at home thanks to the only goal of the game scored by none other than Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale.
Bale will be in the limelight as the player to watch for the Welsh side. The former Tottenham Hotspur star is currently the joint leading goalscorer and will be looking to add to his tally against Belgium.
In the Round of 16, Wales featured in a mundane game vs Northern Ireland and only an own goal helped them qualify for the last eight.
On the other hand, Belgium are in brilliant form at the moment. After the defeat against Antonio Conte’s Italian side, Marc Wilmots’ men have improved big time.
In the last game, Belgium ripped Hungary apart and registered a 4-0 win. Skipper Eden Hazard was absolutely unstoppable on the night.
The Chelsea superstar has provided the highest number of assists in the competition so far and will be the player to watch for Belgium.
As per the odds taken from Bet365, Belgium are favorites to beat Wales. In the past, the Red Devils have defeated Wales twice and their last victory over the Welsh team came back in September 2012 in a FIFA World Cup qualification game.

Belgium and Italy will collide in arguably the biggest match of tonight’s Euro 2016 group stage contests. Who will come out on top?
The battle between two top class goalies, Buffon and Courtois, may as well decide the game between the Red Devils and the Azzurri tonight.

Fantasy Football site Oulala have taken a look (infographic) at how Courtois and Buffon compare before tonight’s big game.
The Juve star had a brilliant campaign, kept 21 clean sheets for the Old Lady last season and won the Serie A title yet again.
The Chelsea goalie failed to impress in an injury hit campaign and only kept 5 clean sheets in a mediocre Premier League season with the Blues.

Spurs Beat Liverpool – Player Heading to Join Tottenham

admin — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 19:30:37 +0000

Liverpool have been looking to sign a new goalie for quite some time and finally secured one in the form of Loris Karius.
A young Belgian was on trial with the Reds last year in the form of Mechelen’s 16-year-old player Jonathan de Bie.
As per reports, Liverpool coaching staff were impressed by the teenager (Tribal Football via HLN).
However, Jonathan was on trial with Tottenham as well and if reports are anything to go by then Spurs have won the race to sign the youngster.
According to the latest reports (Het Nieuwsblad), De Bie is heading to join the North London side after leaving his current club KV Mechelen.
Tottenham already have certain key Belgian stars in their squad in the form of Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Nacer Chadli and Mousa Dembele. Hence, the talented goalie will likely get along well at White Hart Lane.
Moreover, Jonathan will get to learn from one of the best goalies in the world i.e. captain Hugo Lloris. He has featured 3 times for the Under-15 national side and once for the Under-16s.

Liverpool Superstar Right to Criticize Jurgen Klopp?

Gooty — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 06:32:09 +0000

Liverpool splashed huge sum to lure Christian Benteke in the summer transfer window under the management of Brendan Rodgers.
However, since the arrival of new boss Jurgen Klopp, the highly rated Belgian international has found himself in a complex scenario and mostly warms the bench.
The former Aston Villa striker has finally opened up and criticized Jurgen Klopp for the lack of game time (Mirror). Benteke claimed:

“He (Klopp) still tells me that I’m a striker who can do everything – score goals, hold-up the ball, play one-twos, heading.
“If I have that many variations in my game, why don’t I play? But, he makes the choices and I have to respect them.”

The Belgian international is already heading towards Liverpool exit (Football Insider) and these words can only act as a catalyst in his departure from Anfield.
The 25-year-old striker further claimed that he deserves more game time and even after lack of regular football he is Liverpool’s second highest goal scorer in PL.

“Despite the situation I find myself in, I’m the second-best goalscorer of the club, after [Roberto] Firmino, who has eight.”

Benteke last started a league game on 2nd January against West Ham. Since then he has averaged just over 15 minutes a game in the league. In 12 PL starts, Benteke has scored 7 goals for the Merseysiders.
Highly likely that Benteke will not be at Anfield next season, however, has he rightly criticized the manager for lack of game time?
