<b style="background-color: white;"><span lang="EN-US">Mario Gómez García</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white;"> (German pronunciation: [ˈmaːʁioː ˈɡɔmɛs]; born 10 July
1985) is a German footballer who plays as a striker for Bayern
Munich in the Bundesliga and the German national team.
Gómez joined Bayern after six years in Stuttgart. The fee was a record for
a player transferred in the Bundesliga, estimated to be €30–35 million.
When Stuttgart became champions in 2006–07, Gómez contributed 14
goals and 7 assists at the age of 21 and was selected German footballer of

<br />
<h2>
<span lang="EN-US">Personal life<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gómez was born in Riedlingen. He was raised
in nearby Unlingen, an Upper Swabian village in the state of Baden-Württemberg
in southwestern Germany about 95 km south of Stuttgart and 175 km west of
Munich. Gómez is of German-Spanish descent (his father, Pepe Gómez, is Spanish
from Albuñán, Granada and his mother, Christel Roth, is German). He has both
German and Spanish citizenship and decided to play for the German national
team. His first appearance for the team was in February 2007 against
Switzerland and he has been called up regularly since.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gomez is notable as being outspoken about
social matters. For example regarding homosexuality in football he has stated
that he believes gay players should be open about their sexuality and thinks
that "they would play as if they had been liberated". He also would
like a "radical rethink" about homosexuality in football.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gómez is currently in a long-term
relationship with his girlfriend, Silvia Meichel.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Scoring 80 goals in all competitions over the last two seasons for a massive club like Bayern Munich is good enough to guarantee a player a start for his national side. Well, it's a guarantee unless your name is Mario Gomez.<br />
<br />
No matter how good of form Gomez has been in for his club throughout his career, he's never been able to fully translate that over to the national side. It's easy to say Gomez just hasn't risen to the occasion when wearing the colors of Germany. Mario was part of the Germany team in Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010, but he failed to find the net in either competition. In fact, his ineptitude in front of goal in Austria/Switzerland was widely lampooned by the world media.<br />
<br />
Stats are misleading in the case of Gomez. He has scored 22 times for his country in 52 appearances, and a closer look at those goals show that 8 of those goals came in qualifiers for Euro 2008 and Euro 2012. (Gomez didn't score in qualifiers leading up to World Cup 2010.) However, those goals came against world "powers" San Marino, Kazakhstan, Austria, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Belgium. The strongest competition he's scored against came in friendlies against Uruguay and Australia.<br />
<br />
Joachim Löw abandoned the 4-4-2 for a 4-2-3-1 after the group stages of Euro 2008. Gomez's poor performance in front of the net accelerated this move. He was benched while Miroslav Klose retained his starting position. It's tough to argue Löw for favoring Klose over Gomez. Club form has never mattered in the case of Klose. Rudi Völler, Jürgen Klinsmann, and now Löw have stuck by him for one simple reason: He scores big goals in big games for Germany. He definitely hasn't failed to score in major tournaments. With 25 goals in qualifying and 16 goals in those tournaments, you can easily see why Klose is favored.<br />
<br />
The general (and correct) consensus is that Gomez is a confidence-dependent striker. There is no doubt that when he gets going, he's absolutely tough to stop. As I said in the first sentence of this piece, Mario has scored 80 goals for Bayern over the last two seasons. If your name is not Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, that number is astronomical. One must also take into consideration to sheer volume of opportunities that Gomez gets to score in a Bayern shirt. Without exact figures in front of me, I will make the assumption that he sees roughly about one billion chances. It normally takes Gomez a couple of chances to get going, but when he does, he can score with the best.<br />
<br />
<br />
As long as Klose remains healthy, Gomez will likely be starting the tournament from the bench. It will be important for him (and Germany) that he capitalize on the chances that he receives during his opportunities on the pitch. If he's wasteful like he was in 2008, you can be sure that Löw will try his other options. Gome and Klose are the only forwards that are being brought to Poland/Ukraine, but Löw has let it be known that he will be willing to put Marco Reus and/or Andre Schürrle up top to find goals. While Germany does have a potential weakness in defense, the forward position should not be an issue. The service will be there when Gomez sees the field. Thomas Müller, Mesut Özil, and Lukas Podolski are as talented an attacking trio that you'll find.<br />
<br />
Germany has twenty one victories and one loss when Mario Gomez scores a goal. For Germany to reach their goal of winning the 2012 European Championship, Gomez is going to have score goals. They won't be able to rely on a 34 year old Miroslav Klose to carry them through another tournament.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the 2005–06 season, Gómez joined the
first team permanently. He played 30 times in the Bundesliga, scoring six times
at this level, his first goal coming on 17 September 2005. The striker also
played five times in the UEFA Cup, scoring twice, and in three times in the
DFB-Pokal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the 2006–07 season the youngster
established himself as one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga. However, he
broke his hand on 10 March 2007 and suffered a torn ligament in his left knee.
He made his comeback on 12 May 2007, and immediately scored after coming on
from the bench. In that game, VfB Stuttgart defeated VfL Bochum (3–2) and went
two points clear heading into the Bundesliga's final weekend where they won at
home against Energie Cottbus, thus becoming German champions. Furthermore, VfB
Stuttgart also reached final of the DFB-Pokal, where Gómez participated, but
VfB Stuttgart lost to 1. FC Nuremberg. After the season, he was named German
Footballer of the Year for 2007. Gómez extended his contract at VfB Stuttgart
until 2012.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">While, in the 2007–08 season, the rest of
his team struggled to keep performing at their 2006–07 season standards, Gómez
remained at an astonishingly high level, scoring 19 goals in 25 appearances,
second in the Bundesliga's Top Scorer list, just behind Bayern Munich's Luca
Toni who scored 24 times. In the cup Gómez was even the top scorer with six
goals. Because of his development, many big clubs became interested in the then
23 year old forward. Gómez gained the nickname "Mr. Zuverlässig"
("Mr. Reliable"), as seen in his second of three goals against
Bundesliga rival Werder Bremen (final score 6–3), where he managed to net in a
virtually unreachable pass by teammate Yıldıray Baştürk. In the 2008–09 season
Gómez hit four goals to inspire VfB Stuttgart to a 4–1 victory over Bundesliga
leaders VfL Wolfsburg.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h4>
<span lang="EN-US">2009–10 season<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">On 26 May 2009, Gómez was eventually
transferred to Bayern Munich on a Bundesliga record transfer fee, signing a
four-year contract. The amount of the transfer fee varies from 30–35 million
euro, depending on different sources. Gómez was not scoring like his usual self
in his first season for Bayern with just 10 goals but in the cup he was more
prolific with 3 goals in just four games, unfortunately Gómez was short of
assists as well as goals. Quite surprisingly he made an impact as he was to
start the majority of games next season for Bayern. Also in his first season
Gómez was teamed up with his international strike partner Miroslav Klose to
give him some first team experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US">2010–11 season<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After an erratic first season at Bayern
with 10 goals in 29 league appearances, Gómez established himself as a starter
during the 2010–11 season (to an extent at the expense of Miroslav Klose and
due to the injury sustained by Ivica Olić) and finished as top goalscorer in the
Bundesliga with 28 goals. He scored his 100th Bundesliga goal with his third
strike in a 1–8 away victory over FC St. Pauli on 7 May 2011, the hat-trick
already being his fifth in the Bundesliga in the 2010–11 season, and his sixth
overall, adding in his hat-trick against Cluj in the Champions League. Gómez
has scored 13 hat-tricks in his Bundesliga career, three with Stuttgart and ten
with Bayern. Gómez also netted eight times in the Champions League and finished
in second place in this season's top scorers, tied with Samuel Eto'o, although
Bayern were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Internazionale. Gómez overall in
all competitions scored 39 goals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

style towards the previous season and he opened his league account on 20 August
2011 in Bayern's thrashing of Hamburger SV. Seven days later Gómez scored a
hat-trick away to 1. FC Kaiserslautern. On 10 September, Gómez then netted four
goals in Bayern Munich's 7–0 rout of Freiburg, sealing four straight wins for
the Bavarians and a return to the top of the Bundesliga table. On 27 September,
the striker netted two first half goals as Bayern defeated Manchester City 2–0
in the group stages of the Champions League, a game infamously remembered for
which City striker Carlos Tevez reportedly refused to play.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gómez scored his second brace of the
Bundesliga campaign against Hertha BSC when Bayern won 4–0. Gómez then got
another brace on 29 October when Bayern then defeated 1. FC Nuremberg 4–0. Then
on 11 December 2011, he scored his third brace of the season and sealed
Bayern's 2–1 win over southern rivals Stuttgart. On 2 November 2011, he netted
a hat-trick in a Champions League group stage game against Serie A club S.S.C.
Napoli. Bayern went on to win 3–2. In the DFB-Pokal Gómez scored just two
goals. On 16 December 2011, Gómez scored his 50th goal for the calendar year of
2011 against 1. FC Köln.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">On 13 March 2012, the second leg of their
Champions League tie against FC Basel; the match saw the Bavarians overturn
their 1–0 away loss as Gómez netted four of Bayern's seven goals, firing the
Bavarians through to the quarter-finals 7–1 on aggregate. In the
quarter-finals, Bayern faced Ligue 1 side Marseille and in the first-leg on 28

<span lang="EN-US">Gómez has both German and Spanish
citizenship, but played for all German youth national teams from age 17. He
made his debut for the German national team against Switzerland on 7 February
2007. Germany won the match 3–1, with Gómez scoring Germany's second goal.
Gómez gained his second cap for Germany, coming on as a substitute for Kevin

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After Gómez impressed in pre-tournament
friendlies, Joachim Löw called him up to the German squad for Euro 2008. Löw
broke up the strike partnership of Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose with
Podolski moving out to the left wing at the expense of talismanic midfielder
Bastian Schweinsteiger and Gómez partnering Klose up front. Unfortunately, he
was not able to reproduce his club form and missed several clear-cut chances
including a crucial one in the last group match against Austria. Germany
eventually won courtesy of a Michael Ballack free kick to seal a place in the
knock-out stages but Löw dropped Gómez to the bench and reverted back to the
Podolski-Klose partnership. He was an unused substitute in the quarterfinal and
semifinal and later came off the bench in the final of Euro 2008 for Miroslav
Klose but could not prevent Germany from losing 1–0 to Spain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Although being the second choice behind
Miroslav Klose as center-forward during Germany's qualification for Euro 2012,
Gómez played regularly and contributed goals against every opponent of that
campaign: Kazakhstan, Austria, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Belgium. This includes
two goals against Austria in Germany's 2–1 away win in the
Ernst-Happel-Stadion, netting into the very same goal in which despite good
goalscoring opportunities he couldn't score three years earlier during Euro
2008, a performance for which he was criticized by the German media and fans of
the Mannschaft. Observers saw him overcome a little trauma and in a spontaneous
gesture of relief, he kissed the goalpost after he scored the first goal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Prior to the Euro 2012 in a 3–3 draw
against Ukraine in the opening game at the renovated Olympic Stadion of Kiev –
the site of the Euro 2012 final match – Gómez captained Germany for the first
time. It was his 50th international cap, and aged 26, he was Germany's oldest
player in the starting lineup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gómez scored the only, and winning, goal
against Portugal in their Euro 2012 starting match in Poland-Ukraine.[26] He
then scored twice against the Netherlands in Germany's second group B match,
making it three goals in two games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gómez can shoot with both feet, and is
considered to be an aerial threat. His best ability however remains as his
anticipation to crosses and passes and finish them. Arsène Wenger described him
as "a great finisher who is often in the right place to finish off moves."
Moreover, his body balance and ability to hold up the ball often creates
trouble for defenders. During his time at Bayern, his ability to appear
"at the right place at the right time" proved to be one of Bayern's
most lethal attacking weapons as Ribéry and Robben can often out-run defenders
and provide a cross for Gómez.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez is confident his side
will progress to the last 16 in the Champions League despite their 2-2
draw with Benfica on Tuesday.<br /><br />"We will go to Basel to win the game," Chicharito told <em>MUTV</em>.
"We have lost two home points against Benfica but this is football.
Benfica are a strong team, unbeaten this season, and they played very
well against us.<br /><br />"We are still in the fight, we have nine points
and we will go to Switzerland to get another three. We are Manchester
United and we never give up, we work very hard for every game."<br /><br />The
Red Devils need a point from their final game against Basel to qualify
from Group C, but are likely only to finish second behind the Portuguese
outfit who top the table on head-to-head fixtures.<br /><br />If the Old
Trafford side do finish as group runners-up, it may face Barcelona, Real
Madrid or Bayern Munich in the knockout stages, yet the 23-year-old
preferred to focus on the task of qualification first.<br /><br />"First we need to qualify and then look at which teams we will play," he added. </span><br />

<b>Javier Hernandez</b> has praised teammate Danny Welbeck’s excellent
start to the season and believes Manchester United’s young stars will
play a key role in the club’s quest for a record 20th league title.<br /><br />Having
enjoyed a productive loan spell with Sunderland last term, Welbeck has
made a blistering start to the current campaign at Old Trafford, bagging
five goals and catching the eye with his searing pace and tireless work
rate.<br /><br /><b>Hernandez</b>, who made a similarly revelatory impact for
United last season, admitted he has been impressed by the dramatic
improvement his teammate has made since making his senior debut three
years ago.<br /><br />“Yes, I’d seen [Welbeck] play quite a few times, and not only last year when he was on loan at Sunderland,” the Mexican told <i>Inside United</i>. <br /><br />“I
remember when I was in Mexico and I was watching Manchester United on
television – Danny was just starting to come into the team and be given a
few chances. <br /><br />“You could see he had a lot of potential then, and
was improving all the time. He was a good prospect then and now he’s
even better. He’s had a great start to the season.”<br /><br />With the
likes of Welbeck, Tom Cleverley and Phil Jones now in the ranks,
'Chicharito' is confident about United’s chances of securing a record
20th league title under the noses of bitter local rivals Manchester
City.<br /><br />“I’m sure we can do it,” he added. “We have a lot of young
players who are hungry to do well, and that helps inspire the rest of
the squad. <br /><br />“They may have been here for many years and won a lot of trophies, but they still have a lot of desire. <br /><br />“I think we have a good mix of youth and experience, and that will be very important for us.”</span>

"You can't compare him to anybody else. What's impressed me most about
him, and this is something I noticed from the first day I met him, is
that he's a very simple person. You can talk about all the things he's
won and all the years he's been in charge but you wouldn't know it if
you watched him on the bench. Every game looks like it's his first game

on the pitch or off the pitch. He recognizes that first you are a human
being and then you are a football player. He knows that if you're doing
okay in your personal life then you'll be okay in your profession."<br /><br />When
asked if anybody in Mexico could come close to replicating Sir Alex’s
stay at Old Trafford, <b>Hernandez</b> sounded certain it wouldn't happen any
time soon.<br /><br />"No, no. Sometimes a manager is only in charge for
two games before they get fired! It's a very different culture. It would
be a miracle in Mexico if somebody stayed in the job for 25 years!"<br /> </span>

From nearly quitting soccer to starting a Champions League final in a
handful of months, Hernandez's most impressive attribute is his
humility. </h2>
<h2>
<span id="divAdnetKeyword"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez</b> is so good, he doesn't even need to touch the ball to score anymore. </span><br style="font-weight: normal;" /><br style="font-weight: normal;" /><span style="font-weight: normal;">In
the fledgling minutes of a friendly against Serbia, <b>Hernandez</b> darted
toward the near side to meet a Carlos Salcido cross with defender
Slobodan Rajkovic close behind. Neither made contact with the ball
though they were a mere pea's width away. That so surprised goalkeeper
Vladimir Stojkovic, who had moved to his right to cover the near post,
he allowed the ball to trickle in on his left</span></span>.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span id="divAdnetKeyword"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Even as Mexico waltzed and whirled to an impressive 2-0 win ("We played free, we played calm," Salcido said according to </span><em style="font-weight: normal;">Medio Tempo</em><span style="font-weight: normal;">),
to Serbia's credit the defense tightened after that. Stojkovic snapped
out of his daze to pull off a number of solid blocks, and the backline
took turns figuring out who could kick <b>Hernandez</b> as high in the air as
possible. </span><br style="font-weight: normal;" /><br style="font-weight: normal;" /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Manchester City defender Aleksandar Kolarov won that
particular competition. Though Branislav Ivanovic also collected a
yellow for a rough challenge, Kolarov stupidly shoved <b>Hernandez</b> in the
box to earn his second caution. </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><span id="divAdnetKeyword"> </span></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="divAdnetKeyword" style="font-weight: normal;">Chicharito slid home the penalty in the 87th
minute and then coach Jose Manuel 'Chepo' de la Torre yanked him out of
the game in case any other Serbian defenders tried to one-up Kolarov. <br /><br />De
la Torre had left the Manchester United striker in the match as long as
he could, knowing El Tri needed the insurance goal with Serbia
wrestling back possession in the second half. The win marked Chepo's
first on home soil (admittedly, his chances have been limited: an
agreement with Soccer United Marketing sees Mexico play five friendlies a
year in the United States) and was Mexico's first home win against a
European opponent in 17 years. </span></span></h2>
<h2>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</span></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="divAdnetKeyword" style="font-weight: normal;">For <b>Hernandez</b>, the penalty marked his 23rd goal in 25 international
starts (33 appearances total). He scores for El Tri once every 96.8
minutes of field-time. <br /><br />Really, his goalscoring record is the
only scandalous aspect of the 23-year-old. This is a player who, when he
traveled to the World Cup in 2010, still lived with his parents and
studied business administration at Universidad del Valle de Atemajac.
The city of Manchester is rife with stories of his random acts of
kindness, including giving a signed jersey and poster to the son of a
women who helped him overcome the language barrier at a shop. <br /><br />"I will always be the same kid, with my feet always on the ground," he told <em>ESPN </em>after signing with United. "I am, first and foremost, a human being."<br /><br /><b>Hernandez</b>
is the anti-Balotelli – the calm, kind kid who somehow becomes even
more polite and respectful as the zeros add up in his bank account (he
signed a new five-year deal with the Red Devils in October). He's the
goalscorer with gaudy stats who somehow isn't greedy. <br /><br />"I scored a
goal but it is Manchester United that scored,"<b> Hernandez </b>said after
notching the equalizer in a 1-1 tie against Liverpool on Oct. 15. "It
doesn’t matter who scored the goals. There are no heroes here."<br /><br />Perhaps
not, but <b>Hernandez</b> is certainly beloved in Mexico if the feminine
shrieks when he scored against Serbia are anything to go by. <br /><br /><b>Hernandez</b>
started playing for Chivas in his hometown of Guadalajara at 9 years
old. He signed his first contract at 15, but up until then his father,
<b>Javier 'Chicharo' Hernandez</b> (the son derives his nickname and piercing
green eyes from his sire), didn't think his boy would take up the family
profession. <br /><br />Chicharito's maternal grandfather, Tomas Balcazar,
scored five goals in four qualifying matches to lead Mexico to the 1954
World Cup. There, he notched against France at 22 years of age.
<b>Hernandez</b> senior played for El Tri in the 1986 World Cup. <br /><br />But if
the three generations of Mexican strikers seems predestined now
(<b>Hernandez</b> the younger symmetrically scored against France in the World
Cup at 22 years of age), it wasn't always assured. Chicharito didn't
make the Mexico roster that won the U17 World Cup in 2005 with attacking
talent like Carlos Vela and Giovani Dos Santos. At 20, Chicharito
considered dropping soccer altogether to concentrate on his university
studies. He saw younger players pass him into the full team and wondered
if he had a future as a starter. <br /><br />Talks with his agent, parents,
grandparents and girlfriend eventually reminded him that soccer was his
passion, and he decided to continue. <br /><br />That year, he went on to
score 21 goals in 28 games for Chivas. Less than 12 months later, he was
on a plane to watch Manchester United face Bayern Munich in the
quarterfinals of the Champions League, meet Sir Alex Ferguson and sign
for the Red Devils. </span></span></h2>

<h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="divAdnetKeyword" style="font-weight: normal;">United was presciently eager to tie down the prodigy before he excelled
in South Africa and demanded secrecy in the deal so that no Spanish
teams could scupper it, meaning Chicharito told his grandfather he was
flying to Atlanta on holiday up until a day before he left. Balcazar
says he burst into tears and nearly had a heart-attack upon learning of
the deal. <br /><br />The entire family, grandpops included, moved to
England with Chicharito. Earlier, Chicharo had quit his job as Chivas
reserve team manager when the club didn't grant him time off to watch
his son in the World Cup. "Work is secondary," he explained. <br /><br />Like
the Bluths, family comes first for the <b>Hernandezes</b>. However, Chicharito
knows how to get down to business as well. He scored 20 goals in all
competitions his first season in England, with Ferguson crediting the
Mexican's form for dropping Premier League top scorer Dimitar Berbatov;
<b>Hernandez</b> started the Champions League final with the Bulgarian in the
stands. <br /><br />Chicharito's clinical edge is one of the main reasons Mexico has retaken control in CONCACAF
after nearly a decade of U.S. dominance.<b> Hernandez </b>scored seven goals
in six games to finish top scorer and MVP of the latest Gold Cup, which
Mexico won. <br /><br />The Americans have lacked incision up top ever since
Charlie Davies' automobile accident scythed the striker down before his
prime. In his stead, the burly Jozy Altidore has led the line with a
bluntness that contrasts with the razor runs of <b>Hernandez</b>, who posted
the top speed of any player at the 2010 World Cup at 32.15
kilometers/hour (nearly 20 miles/hour). <br /><br />Aside from pace,
Chicharito's movement flummoxes defensive lines and his gentleness is
belied by sheer ruthlessness in front of goal. In the Premier League,
<b>Hernandez </b>puts 62 percent of his shots on target. Of his 17 league
goals, three have come from his left foot, eight from his right and six
from headers. Even at only 5-feet, 9-inches, <b>Hernandez</b> is adept at using
his noggin, not to mention his impressive vert. <br /><br />"You think, OK, here's this little midget," Jesus Padilla, <b>Hernandez'</b>s teammate at Chivas for three years, told the <em>New York Times</em>. "But he's got some serious hops. He's amazing in the air." <br /><br />As
youth players in the Guadalajara system, Padilla showed more promise.
Instead his middling career has meandered, taking him to Major League
Soccer and the Mexican second tier on loan deals, while <b>Hernandez
</b>matured into the continent's biggest star. If you had told the future to
a teenaged Chicharito, he probably wouldn't have believed you. <br /><br />"Suddenly
I'm going to be playing with the players I know from PlayStation and
television," <b>Hernandez</b> said when he signed for Manchester United. "I'm
living in a dream."</span></span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><span id="divAdnetKeyword"> </span></span></h2>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780728527712897096.post-76880822004336479882011-12-15T05:06:00.000+00:002011-12-15T05:06:00.385+00:00Federico Macheda Match Review : New England Revolution 1 Manchester United 4<div class="entry">

<b>Macheda</b>, who endured a goalless six-month loan spell at Sampdoria
last season, could yet be loaned out again by Sir Alex Ferguson this
season with the United manager keen for the 19-year-old to gain more
experience away from Old Trafford.<br />
<br />
But after seeing Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov both miss clear
chances to score in the first-half at the Gillette Stadium, the stunning
home of NFL giants New England Patriots, goals by<b> Macheda</b> and Michael
owen ensured a winning start for United on their five-game tour of the
United States.<br />
<br />
Ji-sung Park’s close range goal from Ryan Giggs’s pass on 80 minutes
stretched United’s winning margin further in front of 51,523 spectators –
a record attendance for a soccer game at the stadium.<br />
<br />
Just 47 days after United’s Champions League final defeat against
Barcelona at Wembley, Ferguson’s team returned to action against a
Revolution outfit currently marooned at the foot of the MLS Eastern
Conference.<br />

The home side’s lack of pedigree was evident from the outset as
United, with £15m summer signing Ashley Young making his debut on the
left wing, dominated possession and created the only clear chances.<br />
<br />
Rooney headed a Nani cross over the bar from close range on 18
minutes before aiming to repeat his overhead goal against Manchester
City last season, with less spectacular results, sixteen minutes later.<br />
<br />
Revolution midfielder Benny Feilhaber forced a solid save from Anders
Lindegaard on a rare foray forward, but United should have taken the
lead before the break when Berbatov wasted a golden chance from six
yards.<br />
<br />
The Bulgarian forward, who failed to make the substitutes’ bench
against Barcelona at Wembley, was given a clear scoring chance when
Fabio da Silva pulled the ball back from the touchline on 41 minutes.<br />
<br />
But Berbatov somehow failed to score as he directed his shot straight
at goalkeeper Matt Reis, who saved the strike with his legs.<br />
<br />
Berbatov and Rooney then made way for Owen and <b>Macheda</b> at the start
of the second-half and the substitutes both found themselves on the
scoresheet within ten minutes of the restart.<br />
<br />
Owen opened the scoring for United on 50 minutes when he received
Michael Carrick’s pass inside the penalty area before guiding a
right-foot strike into the far corner from six yards.<br />
<br />
And <b>Macheda,</b> whose progress has stalled since he exploded onto the
scene as a 17-year-old in April 2009, displayed similar calmness in
front of goal when he converted Carrick’s pass from close range four
minutes later.<br />
<br />
Kenny Mansally pulled one back for the Revolution on 56 minutes when
he inadvertently diverted Feilhaber’s free-kick past Lindegaard.<br />

But <b>Macheda</b> secured the win for United when he claimed his second
goal on the hour with a far post strike from Rafael da Silva’s cross
before Park netted a fourth in the closing stages.<br />

<b>Federico Macheda became an instant Old Trafford hero when
he scored a stunning injury-time winner on his debut against Aston
Villa in April 2009.</b>Aged just 17, the young Italian
told <i>MUTV </i>it was "the best day of my life". <br />
<br />
But
while that goal heralded <b>Macheda</b>'s arrival on the biggest stage, his
prowess in front of goal has been apparent ever since he arrived at
United in September 2007. Indeed, just six days before his Villa
winner, the boy they call "Kiko" netted a hat-trick for the
Reserves in a thrilling 3-3 draw at St James' Park.<br />
<br />
Formerly a
member of Lazio's youth system, <b>Macheda</b> signed professional forms on
22 August 2008. A powerful forward with a<br />
natural eye for goal, he was born in Rome and is regarded in Italy
as one of the most promising prospects of his generation.<br />
<br />
Having
relocated to England to further his career, <b>Macheda</b> quickly
moved up the ranks at United. He started out in Paul McGuinness'
Under-18s side, before becoming a regular in
the Reserves.<br />
<br />
He began the 2008/09 campaign with a fine
goalscoring run in the youth team and quickly translated that to
Reserve team football.<br />
<br />
His strength on the ball, positional
sense in the box and clinical finishing didn't go unnoticed
at the very top: Sir Alex Ferguson handed him a Champions League
squad number midway through the 2008/09 campaign and then showed
stunning judgement to introduce him against Aston Villa just when the
Reds needed a goal most.<br />

Just six days later, the Italian's
stock grew further as he reprised his match-winner status when it
mattered most. Within a minute of entering the fray against
Sunderland, with United chasing a winner, <b>Macheda</b> diverted home a
vital winner to further aid the Reds' defence of the Premier League
title.<br />
<br />
Sadly, injuries hampered Kiko's 2009/10, restricting
him to just 10 first-team appearances (five starts, five substitute
appearances). One of those was as an impact sub against Chelsea in
the league – his introduction changed the game and the Italian even
netted a late consolation goal. But it was for the Reserves where<b>
Macheda</b> made the biggest mark in 09/10, scoring four goals in eight
appearances as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team marched to league and
playoff glory.<br />

<br />
Twelve more first-team appearances – and another stunning strike
against Aston Villa – followed at the start of 2010/11,
before <b>Macheda</b> returned to his homeland on loan at Sampdoria until
the end of the season. Kiko made 14 appearances for the Serie A
outfit but was unable to prevent them from being relegated.<br />

MLS ALL-STARS – 2<br />
<br />
MANCHESTER UNITED – 5<br />
<br />
Attendance: 70,728<br />
<br />
<b>Javier Hernandez</b> marked his Manchester United debut with a stunning
goal as Sir Alex Ferguson’s team cruised to a 5-2 victory against the
MLS All-Stars in Houston.<br />
<br />
<b>
</b><b>Hernandez</b>, a £7m signing from Mexican outfit Chivas de Guadalajara,
lobbed the ball over goalkeeper Nick Rimando from 20 yards to complete
United’s emphatic win.<br />
<br />
The Mexico striker, nicknamed <b>Chicharito</b>, looked set to be upstaged
by 18-year-old Federico <b>Macheda</b> after the Italian scored twice inside
the opening 12 minutes to give United a commanding lead.<br />
<br />
But <b>Hernandez</b> rewarded the sizeable Mexican turn-out inside the
Reliant Stadium by scoring his first goal in a United shirt six minutes
from full-time.<br />
<br />
With <b>Hernandez</b> only meeting his new team-mates for the first time on
Monday, Ferguson opted to start the game with his new signing on the
bench.<br />
<br />
If it was meant as a challenge to<b> Macheda</b>, then it certainly had the
desired effect in the first-half, with the Italian teenager scoring
twice in the early stages.<br />
<br />
<b>Macheda</b>, who does not celebrate his 19th birthday until next month,
endured a frustrating campaign last term, making just ten appearances
due to a series of injuries.<br />
<br />
Ferguson had claimed 12 months ago that last season could be a
breakthrough year for the young forward, but a year on, <b>Macheda</b> must now
prove he can fight off the challenge of <b>Hernandez</b> to rival Wayne
Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen for first-team football.<br />
<br />
He made the perfect start in the Reliant, however, by giving United the lead inside 22 seconds.<br />
A sloppy back-pass by All-Stars full-back Kevin Alston was
intercepted by <b>Macheda</b> and the striker calmly slotted the ball past
goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts to give United the lead.<br />
<br />
United, beaten by Kansas City Wizards on Sunday, were clearly
determined to bounce back with a victory and their impressive start was
rewarded when <b>Macheda</b> scored again on 12 minutes.<br />
<br />
The All-Stars, a select XI assembled from a vote of fans of the 16
MLS franchises, only had a matter of days to prepare for the game and it
showed as their lack of defensive understanding led to <b>Macheda</b> jumping
unmarked to head Nani’s corner past Ricketts from six yards.<br />
<br />
Bruce Arena’s All-Stars fought back and former Aston Villa forward
Juan Pablo Angel had a 20-yard free-kick tipped over by Edwin van der
Sar before sending a near post shot inches over the crossbar.<br />
Van der Sar then saved well from Marco Pappa at the near post before<b>
Macheda</b> spurned a golden chance to make it 3-0 on 37 minutes.<br />
<br />
Released by Ryan Giggs, <b>Macheda</b> could only guide his angled shot wide
of the past. Moments later, Darren Fletcher rattled crossbar following a
one-two with substitute Tom Cleverley, a replacement for the injured
Gabriel Obertan.<br />
<br />
The All-Stars stepped up a gear in the second-half, though, and
substitute Brian Ching halved the deficit with a header from David
Ferreira’s 64th minute corner.<br />
<br />
United responded well, however, and Darron Gibson scored a 20-yard
free-kick following a foul on <b>Hernandez</b> to restore the English team’s
two-goal advantage.<br />
<br />
Three minutes later, Cleverley made it 4-1 with a close range strike after being teed up by Darren Fletcher.<br />
The goal that most of the stadium had come to see arrived on 84
minute, though, when <b>Hernandez</b> ran onto Paul Scholes’s long-pass before
guiding the ball over the helpless Rimando.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="entry">
Two questions always accompany any mention of Federico Macheda and his stop-start career at Manchester United.<br />
<br />
The first centres on when, or if, the Italian will fulfil his
potential and that is swiftly followed by the other, which goes along
the lines of, ‘Is he really still a teenager?’<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMtrgECRTkhKyH9P0nomzK8s6WVr-xqlaWW8C7LyLBcasD8ZgwmdVYV5f7BeMUTj5-XntWqLQ3KMNk2r6k8zlxeXYfhXMMEqAXsfwP88oH1s7mo_V81xj0s2hRXG6Fh3yEghf9eSGhOPEQ/s1600/federico_macheda2_1379505c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMtrgECRTkhKyH9P0nomzK8s6WVr-xqlaWW8C7LyLBcasD8ZgwmdVYV5f7BeMUTj5-XntWqLQ3KMNk2r6k8zlxeXYfhXMMEqAXsfwP88oH1s7mo_V81xj0s2hRXG6Fh3yEghf9eSGhOPEQ/s320/federico_macheda2_1379505c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Having exploded onto the scene at Old Trafford with a dramatic late
winner against Aston Villa as a 17-year-old substitute in Apr 2009,
Macheda has since made sporadic blips on the radar before disappearing
beneath the surface for frustrating long periods.<br />
<br />
Since that goal against Villa, Macheda has made 26 further
appearances for United, with three more goals added to his account, yet
he remains an enigma.<br />
<br />
Injury and a six-month loan spell at Sampdoria last season, which
proved disastrous with Macheda failing to score a single goal as Samp
were relegated from Serie A, have interrupted his progress at Old
Trafford.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmESPgz1rR0Zml7uwpMmKSKulDvCEpD7ErcXMq2WjgVw0oH2xAR-NSHXLGAeXG_wcsSjxWWAlNBEEbD4nnQ16kuCO5B_RASAJXLVo5zaOtLZZRS4M1GbmZrlEI3SgFF5AHhOv5_O6gB96o/s1600/Federico-Macheda-006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmESPgz1rR0Zml7uwpMmKSKulDvCEpD7ErcXMq2WjgVw0oH2xAR-NSHXLGAeXG_wcsSjxWWAlNBEEbD4nnQ16kuCO5B_RASAJXLVo5zaOtLZZRS4M1GbmZrlEI3SgFF5AHhOv5_O6gB96o/s320/Federico-Macheda-006.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
But the 19-year-old offered a reminder of his potential by scoring
twice as a substitute in United’s 4-1 victory against New England
Revolution in the opening game of the club’s tour of the United States.<br />
<br />
Both were six-yard box finishes, crisp, well-taken goals that are the hallmark of any natural goalscorer.<br />
Macheda can also be clumsy, headstrong and seemingly clueless about
the offside rule, however, and the flaws in his game continue to place a
question mark over his immediate future at United.<br />
<br />
Consider that Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatov
will be Sir Alex Ferguson’s three front-line strikers this season, the
jostling behind that trio to become fourth in line is intensifying.<br />
<br />
Aside from Macheda, Ferguson also has Michael Owen, Danny Welbeck and
Mame Biram Diouf and, clearly, seven into four does not go.<br />
<br />
Having signed a new one-year contract earlier this summer. Owen will
continue to be Ferguson’s wildcard on the bench, the man with the
pedigree and ability to save or win games in the closing stages.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgprcpd-r7h7MGqch2pKIF_1PSJ9d0fwwz8BerPzq7kOcFF-omfwiwJr0ccB_54ofLAGsuWIxkhK9XedhCoYamHR40vAzl5mY0WNxXwdSsVrcFDEhlvQ-LHP-QUG2zbgrgh1Oq2GKhXpa1E/s1600/macheda_herald_306767t.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgprcpd-r7h7MGqch2pKIF_1PSJ9d0fwwz8BerPzq7kOcFF-omfwiwJr0ccB_54ofLAGsuWIxkhK9XedhCoYamHR40vAzl5mY0WNxXwdSsVrcFDEhlvQ-LHP-QUG2zbgrgh1Oq2GKhXpa1E/s1600/macheda_herald_306767t.jpg" /></a></div>
So Macheda must see off the challenge of Welbeck and Diouf to avoid
another loan spell away from Old Trafford in the coming campaign.<br />
<br />
Welbeck, who made his full England debut against Ghana last season
following a successful loan at Sunderland, has returned to United and
will link up with the squad in Seattle this weekend.<br />
<br />
Diouf, who had an unproductive year on loan at Blackburn, is most
likely to find himself the odd-man out among the three youngsters.<br />
<br />
But Macheda’s ability to score goals in the tightest situations might
just give him the edge over Welbeck, whose early season form at
Sunderland tailed off due to injury last term.<br />
<br />
Whether Macheda will meet the challenge is another matter, though. He
is rated highly by Ferguson, but he starred in pre-season last summer
before failing to grasp his chance once the season started.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The same may happen again, but then we should remember he is still only 19.<br />
<br />
Macheda might appear to have been around for years, but he is still
only a rookie and reminding people of might be a valuable exercise.<br />

He was better before coming to Manchester United. Since

scores many simple tap-ins. There are better strikers in smaller clubs
scoring brilliant goals and everyone thinks thats just normal. Would
like to see <b>Chicharito</b> score some brilliant goals like Wayne Rooney,
Fernando Torres, Van Persie, Ashley Young and Suarez. I think 'Berbatov'
is better than <b>Chicharito</b> in terms of skills. Too bad recently has lost

The prolific Mexican has netted the Reds’
only goal in three of his last four away games – the equaliser against
Liverpool and the winners at Everton and Swansea. His uncanny knack for
being in the right place at the right time could be crucial again when
Sir Alex Ferguson's men meet FC Basel for a place in the Champions
League's last 16.<br />
<br />
"We will go to Basel to win the game,"<b> Chicharito </b>told MUTV, dismissing thoughts that United may settle for the point sufficient to go through with new Group C leaders Benfica.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Javier Hernandez</b> is quickly becoming the talk of the Old Trafford backroom staff following his World Cup displays.<br />
<br />
Mike Phelan, United assistant manager, has been talking up Hernandez
and has stated everyone at the club is looking forward to working with
the 22 year old striker.<br />
Speaking on the official website Phelan said,<br />
<blockquote>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: center;"><tbody>

“We were quietly pleased with what we saw of <b>Javier</b> at
the World Cup, he’s still on a break after being in South Africa with
Mexico, but we’d like to get him on board as quick as we can, so he’ll
join us in America. Then hopefully he’ll be a major influence on the
team.<br />
We did the deal before the World Cup and that has probably helped us a
little bit!” added Phelan. “He has only just begun his career with the
national team, but already he is a very influential player for Mexico.
He’s young, he’s athletic and he’s as keen as mustard. He’ll be a good
addition to what we’ve already got. We all hope he hits the ground
running and adds to what we think is a good blend of youth and
experience in our squad. We just hope it all comes together.”</blockquote>
Hernandez had been linked with a loan move to Valencia following his
impressive World Cup campaign but these comments could mean otherwise.<br />
<br />
Hernandez is still on a break now but will link up with the team in
the States ahead of United’s game with Chivas, a match arranged as part
of the deal that saw Hernandez join us.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780728527712897096.post-42525996619205299412011-12-06T16:19:00.000+00:002011-12-06T16:19:00.266+00:00An instance where a loan move is the WRONG decision<br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;">A
lot of clubs see loans as ideal situations. Both sides benefit as the
club sending the player on loan sees the player get the game time he may
not get at his club whilst the club taking the player on loan gain a
valuable player often from a bigger club.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Arsenal did it last season with Jay
Emmanuel Thomas and although he went on loan to Doncaster for the latter
part of the season, Blackpool fans have acknowledged the part he played
in them being promoted to the Premier League in his time at the seaside
club.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Closer to home you can look to0 the success of Tom Cleverley’s spell at Vicarage Road where he scored 11 goals and went on to be named Watford’s player of the year.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;">With this summer’s World Cup over for
United player’s there is very little we have to boast about. Rooney
didn’t shine as expected whilst Patrice Evra’s France and Nemanja
Vidic’s Serbia both crashed out at the group stage but one of the bright
sparks for us was the performances of Mexico’s Javier Hernandez.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">For many of us it was our first chance
to see him up close against proper opposition and he didn’t fail to
impresses. In his 4 appearances, 3 of which were from the substitute
bench, he scored two goals both eye catching efforts against France
where he expertly beat the offside trap and Argentina where he turned
his defender and rifled past the hapless goal keeper.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Hernandez excited United fans and pundits alike who likened him to Michael Owen
with his intelligent runs and ability to find space, so it has come as
some surprise that he has been linked with an immediate loan to Valencia
before having kicked a ball for United.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Last year defensive injuries destabilised out title chances but the wheel’s really came off when Wayne Rooney picked up an ankle injury. With Michael Owen out also, it left Dimitar Berbatov and he failed to shine. Kiko Macheda
tried to repeat his heroics of the previous season but it never came
off although many were impressed with his efforts. So it is strange to
say the least that Sir Alex is looking to send Hernandez out.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: black;">Unless he plans to bringing in another
striker which is doubtful unless he suddenly finds value in the market,
surely it would be best to keep Hernandez here? He is untested in
England but he’ll never get the experience he needs unless he plays. Of
course next season we will have Owen back, a player we lacked in
Rooney’s absence but it that doesn’t means we should be quick to send
Hernandez out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">In terms of forward players we appear
to have a deep pool of selection. Not including the players already
mention there is still Mame Biram Diouf and Danny Welbeck
but who of these strikers would you be confident with playing up top in
Rooney’s absence? Surely a player with Hernandez’s experience of
playing on the world stage would be an asset in case of Rooney again
picking up an injury?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">I’m not Sir Alex and if there is any
truth to0 these rumours then it’s all in the part of a greater scheme
but I personally, as well as many others, think Hernandez would be
better off learning his game here than away at another club.</span><br />

It was always going to be difficult to shine when just minutes into
his appearance Glen Johnson grabbed England’s 3rd of the night but
despite that Hernandez looked lively.<br />
<br />
Always looking for space and to make intelligent off the ball runs,
Hernandez kept the defenders on their toes and on around the 75 minute
mark he came close to grabbing a goal as he just failed to connect with a
ball played across the box after Baines was skinned.<br />

<br />
He showed good link up play with another sub Blanco but before he could have an attempt on goal England snuffed the attack out.<br />
<br />
He also fired a shot wide past Joe Hart’s right hand post.<br />
<br />
His cameo was not enough time to make a proper assessment but it was a
decent appearance from a promising young player. He looks like he will
need good service but with out wingers (as well as an improved midfield
hopefully) he should get that. I just feel if he had played in the first
half when Mexico looked more of a threat rather than the second we may
have seen more.<br />

<br />
With
all the talk of prospective signings and the potential problem areas in
the team it would be easy to overlook the obvious talent we already
have.<br />
<br />
Whilst there is no obvious person to step into the role of creative
midfielder that we have all been crying out for, those calling for back
up for Wayne Rooney seem to forget the wealth of strikers we already have.<br />
<a href="http://thebusbyway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/macheda_2115626.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-796" height="225" src="http://thebusbyway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/macheda_2115626-300x225.jpg" title="macheda_2115626" width="300" /></a>Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen, Mame Biram Diouf and Danny Welbeck may be able to do the job whilst in coming striker Javier Hernandez looked promising at the World Cup and will be expected to build on that but the player I think (OK hope) shines this season is Kiko Macheda.<br />
<br />
The young Italian began to to chisel his name into the tablet that is
Man United history with his epic last minute goal against Aston Villa
and the following week grabbed what would be the winner against
Sunderland. He was expected to build on his showings the following
season but after some early appearances, injury hampered his progress
and he made his first Premier League performance in March. In April
trailing Chelsea, Macheda almost made himself a hero again when he
scored a late goal against Chelsea and had United gone on to win or even
draw that game, in the absence of Wayne Rooney, Macheda would have taken much of the plaudits.<br />
<br />
Sir Alex has realised what he has on his hands and last summer said,<br />
<blockquote>
“Macheda is top drawer, a hero in the making, just as
Cristiano was. It is hard to believe he is just 17. We probably need to

High praise from the gaffer and just yesterday Macheda’s agent
Giovanni Ba claimed that Sir Alex declared the young Italian is
‘unsellable’. Speaking whilst on the tour of North America Sir Alex
said,<br />
<blockquote>
“So we’ve a fine collection of young players who if you
don’t give them an opportunity they’re going to stagnate and move to
other clubs who’ll get the benefit of the work we’ve done with them.”</blockquote>
There are few youngsters in the team finer than Macheda so why can’t this season be his breakout season?<br />

Of course at just 18 there may not be a huge number of chances for
him but with the experience he has picked up steadily over the last two
seasons you can see the gradual improvement in his play. A return of 3
goals in 15 appearances (only 8 of them being starts) isn’t poor for a
player of his age and with the likes of Rooney, Owen, Berbatov and more
importantly Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, his reserve manager, to learn from he
will improve as a player and thus increase his goal return.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Macheda is a player brimming with confidence, a very important
component in his rising stock. If we look at him lets say in comparison
to Welbeck I think it’s quite easy to see that it is Macheda who plays
with a greater air of arrogance and belief which is great to see for
someone of his age.<br />
<br />
As I said he may not find many chances coming his way but he looks
like if he is entrusted with a bigger role in the first team this coming
season he would just take it in his stride.<br />

<span style="color: black;">Although we are in urgent need of a creative force in the middle of the park, it was when Wayne Rooney picked up his ankle and groin injury at the tail end of the season that many thought the wheels came off our wagon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Many names have been mentioned as
coming in as reinforcements to get our front line up to scratch
including Karim Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain, Edin Dzeko, Raul and David
Villa to name a few but the name I was/am least excited about is Brazil
and Sevilla forward Luis Fabiano.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Fabiano has been doing his best to get a move away from the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán singing the praises of Wayne Rooney,
his potential strike partner, AC Milan as well as Manchester United as a
club. Fabiano is doing well at the World Cup having scored 3 goals and
this past season scored 21 goals for Sevilla but he just doesn’t appeal
to me especially if Sevilla president Jose Maria Del Nido’s words are to
be believed.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Del Nido has claimed it would take a sizable bid to wrestle him away from the club,</span><br />

<span style="color: black;">‘Considering the way the
transfer market is at the moment, it’s difficult for us to receive an
offer for Luis Fabiano that isn’t ridiculous (small),’</span></blockquote>
<span style="color: black;">but for a player about to enter his 30s in think I’ll pass.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Fabiano is a seasoned player and for
anything up to £10m could be a decent signing as he would guarantee
goals as a second striker, provide more mobility up top and allow Rooney
to drop deep in those games where our opposition set out to stifle us
with negative play. He could provide us with service in the years it
takes Kiko Macheda and Danny Welbeck to become ready to lead the line if they are to ever fulfil that promise but only at a reasonable price.</span><br />

The
plaudits have been raining in including from former US team coach,
current manager of LA Galaxy and manager of the all star team that
Hernandez scored against, Bruce Arena.<br />
<br />
Arena insists that United have struck gold by securing his services and that Hernandez has bright future.<br />
Hernandez’s performance has also given Sir Alex somewhat of a dilema as the young Mexican has forced his way into Sir Alex’s plans.<br />
<br />
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he now plans to try a Rooney/Hernandez partnership and see if it bears fruit. To add to this, Ben Hibbs
has declared that United will start off the season with an attack of
Rooney, Berbatov, Macheda & Hernandez with Owen set to join when he
returns from injury meaning loans for Diouf and Welbeck.<br />
<br />
Antonio Valencia is set to be fit for the start of the season having resumed training.<br />
The winger underwent an ankle op in May and it was thought he would
be out for the opening weeks but he has joined up with the reserve team
at Carrington and his recovery is well ahead of schedule.<br />
More good news and will definitely be music to Rooney’s ears.<br />

<br />
United’s
main weakness over the last few seasons has been a lack of depth in the
striking department, with United having to mainly depend on two or
maybe three strikers to get the goals and if one of them happened to get
injured it gave Sir Alex a big problem.<br />
<br />

United have tried many strikers over the past few years- The likes of
Campbell, Rossi left for more first team opportunities elsewhere,
Ebanks-Blake, Brandy, etc. couldn’t fulfill the initial promise they
showed, while Saha found himself Injured more often than not.<br />
<br />
But this season has given Sir Alex a new headache, one he’s probably
enjoying. United’s strike force is young, talented and all look good
enough to make it at United in the long term. Sir Alex has had to loan
out 3 strikers just so that everyone has a chance at playing regularly.
United currently already have 3 experienced strikers in Rooney, Owen and
Berbatov from whom the youngsters can learn and gain important tips
from. With such a plethora of options, Sir Alex has the unenviable job
of deciding who plays and who doesn’t.<br />
<br />
United’s young strikers are Mame Biram Diouf, <b>Javier Hernandez</b>, Federico Macheda, Danny Welbeck, Joshua King and Will Keane. All six are very highly rated and are set to have a very bright future in football.<br />
While Diouf, Welbeck and King have or are set to be sent out on loan,
Macheda and Hernandez have a chance at impressing in the first team.
Will Keane will look to build on his brilliant performances for the
Academy last season with the reserves this time round.<br />

Joshua King is considered the most talented; the Norwegian is strong,
quick off the mark and is technically sound. He seems physically ready
for the championship and should make most of his chance at Preston. He
can be a handful when runs at defenders with the ball, and should do
well with Preston.<br />
<br />
Mame Diouf is the oldest of the six, and also happens to be the
strongest and most physically dominant too. The Senegalese international
is on loan at Blackburn and scored on debut for the Rovers. Diouf is
deceivingly quick for a person of his build; he has an uncanny ability
to be at the right place and is very dangerous in the box. Diouf just
needs to improve on his finishing, which has been a bit erratic at
times.<br />
Danny Welbeck is set to go on loan to Sunderland; Danny is very quick
and technically really good. His movement off the ball is great and he
can be expected to bag quite a few goals. He’s capable of playing down
the wings too. Danny is very highly rated by Sir Alex and scored on his
Premier League debut for United with a brilliant strike against Stoke.
He’s pretty tall and has drawn comparisons to Kanu and Adebayor due to
their similar styles of play.<br />
<br />
<br />
Federico Macheda became a household name after his injury time winner
against Aston Villa, after which he also became an instant fan favorite
at Old Trafford. One Season later Macheda has improved a lot and is now
on the fringes of the first team, not being loaned out is a sign of the
trust Sir Alex has in him and he’s expected to play some role in
United’s title challenge this season. Macheda best attribute is his
finishing, this complimented with his great movement and awareness in
the penalty box makes him an excellent goal poacher.<br />

<b>Javier Hernandez</b> is the latest sensation in the red half of
Manchester. His arrival after the World cup and then subsequent
performances in friendlies has made him the player all fans are looking
forward to see play this season. The Mexican has rightfully generated
this sense of expectation after excellent displays of his goal scoring
ability. Drawing comparisons to Michael Owen and United Legend Ole
Gunnar Solksjaer, he has a lot to live up to and Sir Alex will be smart
to use his blistering pace and excellent movement initially as an impact
sub, taking advantage of tired legs in the opposition, hence allowing
Javier to score some goals, building up his confidence!<br />
<br />
With the talent at Sir Alex’s disposal, it is unlikely that there’ll
be any older strikers arriving at United. The talent on display is
exceptional and look set to be part of the latest generation of Fergie’s
Fledging’s!!<br />

The

Manchester United are yet to kick a ball in anger. With a Community Shield
victory in the bag and an early blow over Chelsea, the Red Devils got
to sit back and relax ahead of their opener against Newcastle at Old

Chelsea were impressive in their six-goal victory, but then again
they were only playing West Brom. Manchester City hardly set the world
alight against Tottenham despite spending millions and millions in the
transfer market, and few United fans would have had a smile on their
face when Pepe Reina bundled the ball into his own goal as Liverpool
shared the points with Arsenal. So all in all not too bad, provided that
United beat Newcastle as expected, but what are the hopes of the Red
Devils for the new season?<br />
<br />
The Premier League title will undoubtedly be at the top of the list.
After three trophies on the bounce, United won’t want to let Chelsea
have the trophy for more than one season. The Champions League is always
a priority, while an FA Cup final wouldn’t go amiss either. Given the
excessive spending of their neighbours, a win over City will be savoured
more than ever before and United would love nothing more than to put
the blue half of Manchester firmly in their place. A change of ownership
may be being optimistic so I’m guessing we’ll have to settle for
success on the pitch.<br />

The start of any season is always exciting, as much to see how your new signings perform as anything else. Sir Alex Ferguson
has had a pretty quiet transfer window in terms of big name signatures,
but there is one signing that has got the fans enthused. Many United
fans will be looking to Mexican forward Javier Hernandez
to provide a spark this season. 22-year old Chicarito is an exciting
young talent who definitely has the potential to have fans on the edge
of their seats. Mesut Ozil
is another player with the same quality and United supporters will be
hoping the skilful German joins before the transfer window slams shut.<br />
The 2010/11 season will be another one filled with expectation for Man United. As celebrity United fan Eamonn Holmes says,<em> “nothing beats a British football season,” </em>especially
one that sees Manchester United lift a handful of trophies. Whether
that happens we’ll have to wait and see, but United fans will be hoping
the season starts tonight with three points at Old Trafford, giving them
a good footing for the long slog that lies ahead.<br />

It’s
been a long time since I’ve done one of these so I may be a little
rusty but if you’re familiar with them you will know the formula.<br />

Firstly I would like to say hello and welcome to the start of the
2010/2011 Premier League season and what a start it’s got off to beating
Chelsea 3-1.<br />
<br />
In boxing it’s common for fighters to watch tapes of opponents before
fights in order to get a feel as well as little hints and tips well
this is football and it looks like Chelsea chose not to. Many will say
you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but when that old dog is playing
like it’s in its prime it is nice to have a little heads up, something
Chelsea could have done with as Scholes shone in the midfield.<br />
<br />
If they had bothered take any notice they would have seen how well
Scholes has done this preseason, from his first half against Celtic to
now, pulling the strings from midfield. When United’s first goal came it
was born from the boots of the ginger wizard too as he hit an awesome
long pass to Rooney who was out wide on the right. The striker appeared
to have swapped places with his partner in crime from last season Antonio Valencia as he laid the ball off to the oncoming winger who was left with the simple task of knocking the ball past Hilario.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Man of the match Scholes has been in fine form this preseason and if
he carries it on into the season regaining the title will be that bit
easier.<br />
<br />
Wayne Rooney
looked a lot more energetic for the 45 minutes he played and appears to
be suffering no World Cup hangover. He got into the game, had some
efforts on goal and set up Valencia for the opener. A real two fingers
up at those fickle fans who felt the need to boo him whenever he touched
the ball or have been giving him stick since the World Cup.<br />

Michael Carrick,
for all his detractors, looked good in the middle of the park. He got
himself about and was solid without being spectacular. In a time where
many, myself included, have found time to criticise him it is important
to highlight the positive moments too.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnamDLsL7HnMvmzB8A7TIqEsUgM5HoTFy0vjdfQHGSweLM3FmvrOZMqPcB2-DgUoDpwM7qJBkiYzwFV9fH5reKTkgx74LHxNJVwOBU1G1-VDmolL-ZGvSKP1XGS53t0ME_sS3UrZK722H4/s1600/Picture+8+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><b>Javier Hernandez</b>’s
introduction provided a much welcomed energy boost and he showed why he
is so highly rated. He almost put Berbatov through instantly after
smartly holding up the ball and waiting for Berbatov’s run. Then almost
got a goal after being played in by Berbatov but fluffed his lines but
the second time this happened he made sure it went into the back of the
net. Slipping over as he met Valencia’s cross he (perhaps
unintentionally) improvised played the ball into the Chelsea goal off
his own face. Sign of a great goal scorer that, scoring with all legal
body parts!<br />
<br />
Valencia has clearly carried on where he left off last season and
seemed to have fun going down the right wing and coming up against
Ashley Cole. Early it seemed that Cole would be up to the challenge
Valencia posed but twice Valencia got the better of him and twice United
scored.<br />

Good to see Dimitar Berbatov
score too after some simple keep ball, really a slap in the face after
it seemed United were simply running the clock down. He too has looked
an improved player in preseason and I’m looking forward to see how this
season pans out for him after the criticism he faced last season. Also
good to see how well his goal was received by his team mates too.<br />
<br />
I said before a win here would be good psychologically and I think
the win and the manner puts us in good stead for the season, definitely
looking forward to this campaign.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780728527712897096.post-61879614611636942822011-11-28T15:31:00.000+00:002011-11-28T15:31:00.711+00:00Paper talk: Javier Hernandez, Paul Scholes & Mesut Ozil<br />

Having met up and trained with his new team mates for the first time this week, Javier Hernandez has signified his intentions to do his best at Old Trafford.
The Mexican forward shone at the World Cup and now is expected to do
the same for United. He could play against the MLS Allstars tonight and
then will play for and against United in Friday’s game against Chivas.<br />
<br />
Well all we can ask is that you try your best Javier (scoring a ton of goals wouldn’t go a miss though!)<br />
Paul Scholes has accepted that he is physically incapable of playing more than twice
a week but being the model professional he is also states that you
train everyday to ensure that when you are called upon you can come in
and do a job.<br />
<br />
Scholes is an integral part of the team and the fact that his playing
time is dwindling doesn’t fill me with confidence but with an attitude
like his, it’s just another reason to like him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
United have set their sights on Edwin van der Sar’s
replacement and it isn’t who you are expecting. Having been linked with
Igor Akinfeev and Manuel Neuer amongst others, 26 year old Anders
Lindegaard from Danish side Aalesunds is apparently the front runner
according to the M.E.N.<br />
<br />
Won’t have been everyone’s first pick but with our past with Danish goalkeepers I’m keeping an open mind about this one.<br />

And now for something silly which won’t have been in the papers.
These terrible rumours that so and so was spotted at the airport are so
uncreative and frankly boring. Only last week it was Huntelaar that was
spotted in Manchester airport and last night it was Mesut Ozil.
Well nothing has happened in regards to Huntelaar so I can only assume
he is still waiting in baggage claims and we are about to pull off a
massive double signing!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
