It happened only because Gervinho and Yoann Gourcuff were part of the African Cup of Nations (Editor's note: there is another ACN in early 2013). I was already on site to train and they (Arsenal) asked me if I wanted to play. Who knows what might happen in the future?

AC Milan go shopping in Italy...

Relieved of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, AC Milan must now rebuild a team worthy of regaining the title in Serie A. To do this, the Rossoneri do not lack ideas and are even willing to seek other Italian tenors of the championship to achieve their ends. Press Transalpine indeed indicates that Juventus and Inter Milan were surveyed in this direction.

Hired permanently by the Bianconeri last season, the former resident of Cagliari displays a record of 19 goals in 47 Serie A with Juventus. A statistical sheet that is not in line with the recent comments of Adriano Galliani about the arrival of a striker. "We will take a world class striker, but there is still time until August 31. "The arrival of Matri promises to be uncertain, especially since AC Milan would pay to do so, an option not favored by Juve claiming € 15m for striker.

In defense, it is therefore to Inter Milan as the Rossoneri have turned. Committed under the age Leonardo, Andrea Ranocchia plays luxury liners in the Nerazzurri. A status that is not going to change since the arrival of Matias Silvestre. Announced in the viewfinder of the case before PSG Thiago Silva, Argentina will not however be given. € 18 million paid by Inter, the Italian will not go against a check for less than € 15 million. A sum that does not pay AC Milan. Despite a check for € 65 million in his pocket, the 2007 European champion is not willing to spend too much money. But to rebuild a team worthy of the name, the Rossoneri will they play much longer efficient?

Roberto Mancini praised the Paris Saint Germain...

Helped by the fortunes of wealthy Emirati owners of Manchester City, Roberto Mancini is not the only coach with unlimited means for his transfer window. Recently, his compatriot, Carlo Ancelotti, has also petrodollars from the Middle East. An upheaval in the football world that does not scare the technician Citizens. On the contrary. In an interview with the Italian channel Sky, Mancini welcomes even the Red-and-Blue.

"PSG are going up a very strong team in my opinion. This is normal as they invest. I think it will be one of the best teams in the coming years as they have a great coach and great players they buy. "But if the PSG monopolizes the attention of media files thanks to Ibrahimovic-Silva, City should not stay long in the shadows, although the Red Devils' first task will be to manage the ray starts.

"We are currently working. The transfer window is not simple, especially for teams like Manchester or PSG. When we arrive, the price of two players. For now, we have not moved. Regarding Tevez is a great champion. It's the same Dzeko therefore we remain like this, with four forwards. "His comments do not delight leaders AC Milan, to overcome a likely departure of Ibrahimovic, the pair want to recruit Tevez-Dzeko. Probably a tactic designed to raise prices because City knows that the Rossoneri will soon cash a nice check for € 65m.

FIFA dirties its image even further...

At the order of the Supreme Court of Switzerland, FIFA has released a document detailing how Joao Havelange, president, and Ricardo Teixeira, his right hand man, took huge bribes. Joseph (Sepp) Blatter's predecessor earnt at least 1.24 million euros while Ricardo Teixeira raked in a whopping $ 10.6 million. Other payments, in the ball park of about 18 million, were made ​​to accounts linked to the two Brazilians.

Regularly disturbed by rumours of corruption, FIFA is not to recall his former top officials. Its president, Sepp Blatter, is inevitably the subject of virulent criticism since taking office in 1998.  Ever since the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar last year, FIFA’s credibility has been greatly reduced and little faith can be put into officials who have been stubborn in doing nothing to change their negative image.

The case of Joao Havelange (now 96) and his vice president Ricardo Teixeia has sparked relative panic within FIFA headquarters in Zurich. This can only enhance the negativity FIFA seems to attract.

John Terry is still talking about him...

The comments, which the former England captain strenuously denies making, were purportedly made during the Premier League fixture between the two west London rivals at Loftus Road in October 2011, which the QPR’s won 1-0.

Terry was subsequently charged with a racially aggravated public order offence, to which the 31-year-old’s legal representatives responded with a not guilty plea in February.

However, if convicted, Terry would face a maximum penalty of £ 2,500. A fine that has already cost him the captaincy of England, an episode that led directly to the resignation of Fabio Capello.

The date of commencement of the trial was postponed after Euro 2012, as many witnesses were also present in the competition and therefore could be present at trial.

To defend John Terry said that these words were in response to a gesture of Mr. Ferdinand with reference to an extramarital with the wife of a teammate.

To be continued…

André Villas-Boas has a new challenge...

André Villas-Boas is always famous in England. Chelsea sacked him last March, the one who had become the most expensive coach on the planet will bounce on the side of Tottenham, who had officially inducted manager. The contract period is 3 years. This is certainly a very nice rebound for the Portuguese, who inherits a coveted position in England.

The technician of 35 years takes over Harry Redknapp, especially enjoyed by his players. The task will not be easy, particularly because of the transfer market that looks quite tricky. Without Champions League, Spurs are less attractive and will also have more trouble keeping their best players. This will be very complicated to keep Luka Modric one more season but AVB can be reassured about Gareth Bale, which extended until 2016. The Portuguese will have to decide on many issues, including the attacker. Will they manage to keep Adebayor or will he look into hiring a new striker? His predecessor Redknapp wanted to enlist  Loic Remy. No one knows if AVB will have the same desires ...

Also note that Villas-Boas, by plunging into the bath finally fast enough , misses a very nice jackpot: 13.6 million € to be exact. Indeed, his dismissal of Chelsea was accompanied comfortable allowance. Namely the payment of his salary until the originally scheduled end of his contract, time until he finds a new club. Chelsea paid him more than 500 000 euros per month since March. The Blues will be able to stop this costly expense and AVB will have the opportunity to take revenge on Chelsea in the Premier League

The ideal coach for French Team...

Unlike the future coach Laurent Blanc's France team fails to erase the stigma of a drama. Indeed even if the events following the successive defeats conceded against Sweden and Spain are very serious, they do not have the magnitude of the facts of Knsyna. The Christmas Graët, the director of the FFF confirms that the breeder shall enjoy complete freedom to choose his players and Deschamps or another can then decide whether to select players who disrespect to Laurent Blanc (Nasri, Ben Arfa, Menez, M'Vila). As for the staff available to coach the director of the 3F says he will be the same ilk but said he wants to avoid some duplication as that of people who take care of guardians (Raviot Franck and Fabien Barthez) or positions that are less important as that of executive director. The future coach will continue the work done by Laurent Blanc who had remedied the France team on track before Sweden, Spain and unacceptable behavior of the players come to ruin. This requires impeccable behavior and an image controlled both the field and off, since this image is hidden behind economic imperatives and sponsors which are highly dependent on the French Football Federation. Hard to believe that Nike put Ribery Deschamps leave or other on the bench for their behavior when they have invested a lot of money just to see them on the ground.

SPAIN MAKES HISTORY...

Spain is the successor to itself and makes history. It is the first team to have achieved the triple (Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012). After a match for entry into the euro, which ended in a draw against the team from Italy, Spain has learned from these mistakes and literally sprayed the Italians by scoring two goals in the first period with a masterpiece of collective motion in the 14th minute ended with David Silva. Then we had the right on two goals following a technical demonstration from Xavi which address two caviars. The first destination of Jordi Alba, left-back who has just joined Barca, which Buffon fixed with lots of cool. Torres then late in the game which also falls into history by becoming the first striker to score a goal in two different finals of one euro. To conclude this is Mata who completed the festival offensive by entering the fourth Spanish goal on an offering of his partner Chelsea.
