Mou: I blame Spain for Costa injury

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has blamed Spain coach Vicente del Bosque for Diego Costa's current injury problems. Costa has been sidelined since featuring twice for his country in Euro 2016 qualifiers against Slovakia and Luxembourg, suffering from muscular problems and a virus. Mourinho says the latter issue has now cleared up but insists his lingering problems were caused by his international commitments. "The virus is fine," the Portuguese told reporters. "It was hard, he had to go to the hospital and obviously it doesn't help him to recover from his injury. But he didn't play on Sunday because of the injury, not because of the virus. "Diego has the hamstring [injury] because he played two matches in three days when he was not with us."

Guardiola was disrespectful to me, says Mandzukic

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Atletico Madrid striker Mario Mandzukic has hit out at Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola for treating him with a lack of respect. The Croatia international was a key figure in Jupp Heynckes' treble-winning side in 2012-13, but the Spaniard's arrival saw the 28-year-old spend much of last season on the bench. The arrival of Robert Lewandowkski on a free transfer when his contract with Borussia Dortmund came to an end in June spelt the end for Mandzukic at the Allianz Arena and he has now revealed a lingering bitterness towards his former coach. "Guardiola disappointed me. He didn't treat me with respect. He didn't let me become Bundesliga top scorer. Everything was twice as good under Jupp Heynckes - and that's not just my opinion," Mandzukic told Sportske Novosti. "What if he were to invite me for a cup of coffee? It's not going to happen... In my professional life, I don't have to like or dislike any one, but if I feel a certain negative energy with someone, I try to avoid a person like that."

Shaw who has started the Old Trafford outfit's last four encounters, believes Louis van Gaal's side are beginning to click, with some aspects of their performance against Chelsea hinting at them being close to their best. "It has been a fight, but we talk in the dressing room and at training and we know we’ve still got the best to come," he told reporters. "I don’t think we are playing our best at the moment, although you saw bits against Chelsea. "It will take time, but when we are all on form, I think we are going to be a scary team to face."

The 31-year-old announced that he would no longer be available for France earlier this summer after missing the World Cup due to injury, but Zidane remains hopeful the Bayern Munich winger will play at the European Championship on home soil in two years' time. "When you have a talented player like Ribery with so much quality, it would be good to see him back in the team," Zidane told Canal+. "I also retired from international football back in 2004, but I simply couldn't live with it in the six months that followed. "I had to play for the national team if I wanted to continue to feel like a great player. I hope that Franck will also make the decision to make a comeback. That would be great for France."

Gignac to leave Marseille, reveals club president

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Andre-Pierre Gignac appears to be on his way out of Olympique de Marseille after president Vincent Labrune claimed the club cannot match the striker's demands. The 28-year-old forward - who has scored 48 goals in 128 Ligue 1 appearances for Marseille - has a contract until the end of the 2014-15 campaign and a number of Premier League clubs are supposedly keen on signing him. Labrune has now blamed changes in French tax law for the prospective loss of Gignac and he believes the striker's fine form this term will see him leave in the summer of 2015. "It's going to happen because employer contributions and taxes have gone through the roof in France," the media mogul told Le Journal de Dimanche. "We would like to keep him but it seems to me utopian to think that he will lower his salary to stay with us."

We were a bit tired and we’re taking home just one point. This is football, but our objective remains to finish in the top three," De Jong told the official Milan website. "We have another match on Wednesday and we want to pick up the three points. We have to win against Cagliari to remain on track and reach our objective.

The Dutch striker rescued a point for the Red Devils at the death at Old Trafford, cancelling out Didier Drogba's opener with seconds left in stoppage time. An elated Van Persie quickly removed his shirt in jubilation and was duly shown a yellow card by referee Phil Dowd, a needless caution which frustrated his boss.

Madrid were scared of losing Clasico, admits Modric

Madrid fell behind to Neymar's early opener but fought back through a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty, Pepe's header and a Karim Benzema strike to run out 3-1 winners and close the gap at the top to just a single point. "We felt the pressure early on in the game because of the importance of the Clasico. We feared losing the game and letting Barcelona go seven points clear in the title race," Modric told Sportske Novosti. "But Barcelona also showed in those opening 15 minutes that they will punish you even if you give them very little space. Barcelona are very strong, but they looked powerless because we were great. "The key was Iker Casillas' save to deny Lionel Messi. It would have been very hard to get back into the game had Barcelona gone 2-0 up. We showed our mental strength and stability by fighting back."

Alexis has made an impressive start to life at Emirates Stadium since his €38 million summer move from Barcelona, scoring eight goals in 15 appearances in all competitions, including a clinical double against Sunderland on Saturday. And Flamini believes the Chilean's combination of individual class and willingness to work for the team puts him in the same bracket as Arsenal's very best strikers of the Premier League era.

"He's only 22 and already near Brazil's three all-time top goal scorers. If he manages to keep this up, he will surpass Pele."

Real Madrid don't live for counterattacks, insists Pepe

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Pepe has hit back at the notion that Real Madrid only set out to hit teams on the counterattack after their 3-1 win over Barcelona on Saturday. The defender powered home a header early in the second half after Cristiano Ronaldo had equalised following Neymar's early goal, before Karim Benzema sealed all three points. Barca captain Xavi stated after the match that his side had failed to deal with Madrid's gameplan of hitting on the break, but Pepe is adamant the reaction from the Santiago Bernabeu crowd during Madrid spells of possession proves they are a multi-faceted team. "I don't think that Real Madrid live for counterattacks," he told reporters. "Our supporters chanted 'ole, ole' and this is a demonstration of that. "We could have started the second half ahead, but that was not possible. Despite this, we started the half with a victorious mentality and we won."

"I think we deserved to win but it was a difficult one, more difficult than last week and maybe nicer than last week because the lads showed great character and ambition."

The European champions spurned a number of opportunities on the break in the latter stages and Ramos feels Barca were simply clueless over how to cope with their performance. "We had very clear ideas of how we wanted to play and we dominated," Sergio Ramos was quoted as saying by AS. "We knew what to do in possession, but also on how to hurt them on the counterattack. It was a very complete performance. We did great in all areas and I am delighted with the win."

"But actually, the sending off gave additional motivation to the team. "But [I think we] would have also shown it [extra desire] with 11 [men].

"We wanted the three points and got them," he told reporters. "We were quite in control and were focused. We missed some opportunities but, overall, I am very happy.

The 22-year-old scored 16 goals in 38 matches in his first season at the club last term after arriving from rivals Borussia Dortmund in a €37 million deal in the summer of 2013 and already has six goals in seven appearances this term.

But I enjoy watching the team. I want them to do well. I am an Arsenal fan. "I am a devoted Arsenal fan and attend every game I can. I love the club. It is in my bones. Would I ever go back?

Coutinho vows to improve after Liverpool's shaky start

A host of new players arrived at Anfield in the wake of Luis Suarez's departure to Barcelona in the close-season, including misfiring forward Mario Balotelli, but playmaker Coutinho has put the onus on himself to create more goal-scoring opportunities. "We haven't had a good start to the current season. We all acknowledge the team are not currently in our best form," he told the club's official website. "Each striker has their own style and training sessions help me understand how they prefer the ball to reach them. In my position, it's important that I create clear opportunities for them. "I have to adapt my style to all strikers - as does any player who is in charge of playing in the No.10 role. We have to create open chances regardless of who the strikers are."

And after returning in the summer, he was back in the old routine as he scored from the spot at Stamford Bridge in the Group G rout.

However, while Paul Pogba quickly cancelled out Simone Zaza's 13th-minute opener, Juve were unable to avoid dropping points for the first time and Allegri had no complaints about the final result. "I knew it would be a difficult game, particularly because our internationals only returned on Thursday, after having played two games," the Bianconeri boss told Sky Sport Italia. "Tonight, they put us in difficulty. We didn't play well technically and we had finished little in relation to what we created."

The game was Barkley's first appearance of the season after damaging knee liagments in training in August and Martinez was full of praise for the youngster. “Sometimes you ask yourself if he was born to play football. As human beings you’re not born to kick a ball but he looks more natural with the ball than without it. He was phenomenal," he told reporters. “He was sensational. On Thursday he put the ball in the top corner out of nothing and scored three goals in an exercise. It was his way to let everyone know that he was ready.”

Klopp fuming after Dortmund defeat

BVB created numerous chances and had 16 shots against Koln's five, but it was not enough to prevent defeat at the RheinEnergieStadion, much to the dismay of Klopp. "We played a style of football that made no sense whatsoever. We were very sloppy in our passing in the first half and made some simple mistakes. This cannot be happening," the Dortmund coach said at a press conference. "We made things hard for ourselves again. We weren't good enough at the decisive moments, both in defence and in attack. We lacked focus at the back and weren't clinical enough going forward. That's why we still only have seven points."

"What Ronaldo does is impossible," Ancelotti commented at a press conference. "He has to continue with his condition and we will help to keep it that way."

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Inter striker Mauro Icardi has rubbished the public perception of him as a lovestruck teenager, arguing that, if anything, he is too mature.

Consequently, he is baffled the suggestion that he is now all grown up just because he and Wanda have now married and are expecting their first child in the New Year. "Have I grown up? I've always been like this," Icardi told the Gazzetta dello Sport. "My team-mates tell me that I'm like a 30-year-old. The truth is that I matured too early.
