FRUSTRATION AT PSG

Published December 17, 2013 / by admin

Lucas Moura and Ezequiel Lavezzi both are getting frustrated by not being regular starters for PSG. They are not the preferred choices of the new coach Laurent Blanc and now they are not sure about their future with the French club.
The Brazilian Lucas Mouras has made 11 out of his 21 appearances for his club as a substitute player and to make matters ever worse he was not taken into consideration by Luiz Felipe Scolari in Brazil’s latest friendly matches against Chile and Honduras and this might be due to the fact that his lack of playing time in PSG is affecting his spot with Brazil.
According toTuttoMercatoWeb, Lucas Moura could make a return to Sao Paulo in January, to the club he used to play for before making a move to PSG. Moura won the 2012 Southamerican Cup with Sao Paulo and it just might be the best move for him to make if the Brazilian wants to get back to his best form and even get a permanent spot in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.
Lavezzi on the other hand has seen his time in the playing fields diminished after the arrival of Edinson Cavani from Napoli. Arsenal and Tottenham have displayed interested in signing Lavezzi and his lack of games might just see him making a switch to the Premier League.
Speaking to La Parisien, Lavezzi said that he was unsure of his future.
“I do not know what will happen in the future,” said Lavezzi.
“A player never knows exactly all these things. But what I can tell you is that I will do everything to change my situation in Paris because I did not give my best shot and I do not want this to continue.”
The arrival of Edinson Cavani has seen Lavezzi’s time on the sidelines becoming more and more frequent and less influential for PSG.

BECKS BACKS FERGIE

David Beckham has praised his former manager Sir Alex Ferguson for the way he helped him regain his confidence after the 1998 World Cup.

While playing for the Three Lions in a game against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, Beckham was shown Red Card because he had kicked out an opposition player. England eventually ended up being defeated in that game in the penalty shootouts and with that defeat; they got knocked out of the tournament as well.

That sending off incident affected Beckham’s image adversely. The English fans started hating him. He also got a few death threats.

According to Beckham, that period was very difficult for him. He had lost his self confidence and he was finding it hard to concentrate on his game but because of the support that he got from Sir Alex Ferguson and the fans of Manchester United, he managed to put his career on track again.

Talking to the reporters a couple of days ago, Beckham said, “It was really a horrible period. All of a sudden, I was a villain in England. People were intimidating me. I was getting death threats too.”

“Sir Alex helped me a lot during that tough period. The Manchester United supporters treated me pretty well too.”

“I am really happy that I managed to come out of that phase. I got stronger as a person after that incident. When you face criticism, you shouldn’t give up. You need to back your capabilities. If you do that, you can leave the difficult periods behind.”

One would definitely not have expected Beckham to give these sorts of statements especially after what Sir Alex has written about him in his recently published book.

In that book, the former Manchester United manager has criticized Beckham for his undisciplined behaviour towards the end of his tenure at Old Trafford.

BECKHAM RETIRES

Published August 29, 2013 / by admin

Former England international David Beckham recently announced his retirement from the sport after several years at the top level. He has been one of the celebrated players in the history of football. He represented the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and PSG during his career. He became the first English player to lift league titles in four different countries. He has also started a wave of excitement in the United States for football. After several years at the top level, Beckham ended his career playing for PSG.

There have been several rumours about what David Beckham is about to do next. Many have been suggesting that he is about to enter into football ownership when he takes stake in the MLS franchise that is about to be started in the next few years. MLS has announced that the league will be getting new teams – up to four – in the next few years. Beckham, though, has commented that it has been a difficult time to be out of football, while the decision was also equally tough as well.

During his stellar career, he managed to win all major trophies. He is also one of the richest sportsmen in the world. He has been rumoured to be on the verge of investing in a franchise located in Florida.

“The toughest decision I had to make was retiring when I have been involved in the sport I love for so many years, playing professional football for 22 years at the highest level. Making that decision, for me, was the toughest. I still question myself, of course, but I am 38 years old… I have had a pretty successful career. I feel it is the right time,” said Beckham. The 38-year-old star represented PSG for six months before retiring at the end of last season.
