			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The football season is approaching the end. Many football clubs have spent huge amount of money on acquiring new talents while others have received huge amount of money on selling their talents and the remaining few didn’t enter the players transfer bazaar preferring to go on in the battle with their current players. Now, it’s time for the clubs to make the assessment and the evaluation for each player. Prior to the clubs’ evaluation, we will present our own assessment of who should leave each club, whether a new or current player. This article will focus on the English Premier League side, Chelsea. Who should leave Chelsea?</p>
<p><strong>Paulo Ferreira:</strong> <a href="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Paulo_Ferreira_438335a.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-170" title="Paulo_Ferreira" src="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Paulo_Ferreira_438335a-215x300.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="300" /></a>No one doubts that the player who was once described by Mourinho as “a player who will never be a man of the match but will always score” is performing a mess at least in the few games he is participating in. After being the first choice for the Special one, Ferreira is now warming the sub bench watching both Bosnigwa and Ivanovic taking the lead on the pitch. He has contract till 2013 and Chelsea will be better off selling him since they have a first right back and a sub as well. It is also reported that Ancelotti will be offered a £100m to get new players and among the list is Maicon, who has proved to be a strong right back in Inter and Brazil. With changes apparently on the way as Chelsea rebuild for the future, it seems inevitable that there will be a clearout of players in the summer.</p>
<p><strong>Deco: <a href="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Deco2507SDM_468x372.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-174" title="Deco2507SDM_468x372" src="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Deco2507SDM_468x372-300x238.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="238" /></a></strong>After an amazing start with Chelsea, Deco was looking to reserve  the central midfield position for a long term with Chelsea the injuries drove him to lose his place after Essien starred. With Deco advancing in age and with Chelsea needing more peaceful and speed players, Ancelotti surely will be looking elsewhere for a replacement for the Brazilian who is reported to be keen to return to Brazil in order to spend quality time with his family.</p>
<p><strong>Yury Zhirkov:<a href="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/zhirkov-415x275.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-176" title="zhirkov-415x275" src="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/zhirkov-415x275-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a></strong> The over-priced player <strong>(</strong>£18m) and who hasn’t scored any goal in the EPL, is always considered by the critics to be a weak target for opponents. The Russian player who competed Arshavin for the best player in Russia, failed in surviving the competition in the Premier League where Arshavin had a successful track unlike Yury. He was lucky this year to see the pitch as he subbed the injured Ashley Cole. Zhirkov might be a good sub but for sure he is not worth the money being paid for him.</p>
<p><strong>Henrique Hilario: <a href="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/hilario_416x300.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-177" title="Henrique Hilario" src="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/hilario_416x300-300x216.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="216" /></a></strong>Whenever Peter Cech is injured, the Chelsea fans will be full of fear for they know well that the team has no good substitutions for Cech. Cudicini, who was the second choice, was mistakes-prone and did not provide the trust needed for the team. After Cudicini left, Henrique Hilario stepped up to the second choice and this made the situation worse since Hilario has never proven that he is worth a position in a title challenger team. So, that’s why it’s highly reported now that Chelsea are looking for a better substitute for their Cech.</p>
<p><strong>Juliano Belleti:<a href="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/belleti.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-178" title="belleti" src="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/belleti-300x259.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="259" /></a> </strong>It’s so strange how a team like Chelsea keeps a 36 years old player who is not considered an asset for the team. Belleti’s days are over long time ago and as the case of Ferreira, he has no chance in competing Bosingwa and Ivanovic for the right back position which is also expected to be filled with a new player like Maicon. Belleti will head the list of players leaving the Stamford Bridge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><a href="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lionel-messi-bacelona-1-zaragoza-0-10861.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-102" src="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/lionel-messi-bacelona-1-zaragoza-0-10861-226x300.jpg" alt="" width="226" height="300" /></a>The way Messi has been playing lately made a lot of followers, commentators and fans call Barcelona a One-Man Show. There is no doubt that Messi is a genius, an extraordinary talent, a player who can change the outcome of any game in a split-second. Creative, highly-talented, fast and yet humble, Messi is probably the best player in the world right now, and has proved that he&#8217;s in a class of his own, even when compared to players like C. Ronaldo, Rooney or Kaka. Eight goals in three games, Messi has been in scintillating form lately, and it would be hard for any defense to slow him down.</p>
<p align="left">However, this does not imply in any way that Barcelona are turning into a one man show.  A club that has won absolutely everything last year, Barca is known for its unselfish play, entertaining football and team-comes-first mentality. Guardiola, a former Barca player, kept the tradition, and instilled the right teamwork spirit in all of the players. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Keita, Busquets, Pedro, Henry and even Ibrahimovich have all contributed to the success of the team so far, and it was never felt that any of these players have ego or self-importance issues.</p>
<p align="left">Last year, Chelsea were the trickiest opponents for Barcelona in the Champions League, if not in all competitions. They were able to frustrate Barcelona for long periods and almost knocked them out of the competition. One of the key elements behind Chelsea&#8217;s play was neutralizing Messi, who couldn&#8217;t move easily, couldn&#8217;t do what he does best. Yet, Barcelona kept their composure, were persistent about their philosophy and style of play, and in the end it paid off when Iniesta scored a last-second goal. Barcelona&#8217;s schedule gets interesting in the coming few weeks. Two meetings with another beautiful-football club, Arsenal, in the Champions League quarter-finals, and a highly-anticipated showdown with La Liga joint-leaders Real Madrid.  Guardiola will sure count on a group effort from his players, and it would be critical that each player plays up to his potential. If teams are hoping that Messi gets injured, thinking Barcelona would fall apart, they should know better. Messi would be missed for sure, but Barcelona will keep walking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The “Red” Battle is on the way. North West of England will be a witness for a new tough derby between its two football legends, Manchester United and Liverpool. These two clubs have enjoyed a fierce rivalry through a long football history. This rivalry has also been accompanied with the “Winning” habit. The “Red Devils” and the “Reds” are by far the best successful teams in the history of English Football with each grabbing 18 League title since 1888 to present including both the English League and the Premier League which was launched in 1992. While Manchester United dominating the domestic competitions as a whole with  total of 50 to 47, Liverpool on the other side were writing success in the European fields with a total of 11 titles to 7.</p>
<p>The 2009-2010 Premier League is coming to a suspense end where a three horse race is going on with each of London sides, Arsenal and Chelsea challenging the title holders, Manchester United, to the title. Liverpool on the other side is somehow far from the top spot by 15 points. Although Liverpool chances for the title are so low but there are two big motives for them to push and win in the coming game with Manchester United. The first and primary motive is fighting for an European seat where Liverpool are having another tough battle with Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, and Aston Villa. Liverpool fans cannot tolerate the idea that there team will be out of the next Champions League with their current failure in the current one. Also, Rafa Benitez would be on thin ice since is highly requested to provide results for the Reds, so, losing the Champions League spot will make him lose his Sideline spot. The secondary motive pushing the Reds will be to ensure that the Premier League title doesn’t be in the hands of their Devilish rivals. The Reds won’t pave the way for the devils but will moisturize their way to turn off their “Rooney-ing” fire.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Liverpool+v+Manchester+United+Premier+League+-Uefs1oLtVWl.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-61   aligncenter" src="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Liverpool+v+Manchester+United+Premier+League+-Uefs1oLtVWl-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Revenge, Revenge, and Revenge are the main triple objectives for the Red Devils. A single revenge for the each loss in the last three games in the Premier League. The Red Devils enjoyed the title last year and are having a successful track this year where they are topping the table currently. Despite of the success, Red Devils and their fans know well that losing to their rivals make their success a sour one. No mercy is planned, not this time, not in Old Trafford, and not in front of the loyal fans. Wasting points at this stage is not at all a good idea and the Sir Alex knows it very well that losing points to any club will make his chances worse since his London challengers will be waiting. So, losing more points will largely mean losing the title and which will mean that the rivals have fulfilled their objective, this is simply not allowed. Knowing that winning Liverpool won’t break any new record for the Red Devils, but winning the title will surely do; winning the 2009-2010 Premier League title will make Manchester United the English club with most League titles reaching the number 19 leaving their Red rivals in the second place with 18 titles.</p>
<p>Sunday, March 21 2010 won’t be an ordinary mother’s day; Mothers around the world will be envying Football with millions of eyes and minds focused on England, Manchester, The Old Trafford Stadium. Wishing a happy Mothers day for all the Reds both Devils and non-devils.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Old Trafford for Sale!!Seriously??&#8230;.</p>
<p>February 19, 2010 marks the 100’Th anniversary for the Theater of Dreams. This Theater has carved the minds of millions of United fans across the globe with nice memories and amazing displays, this theater has watched generations of red devils displaying their skills, and this theater currently has a voice of more than 75000 person. Theater of Dreams whose real name is Old Trafford is a football landmark and a legendary hero and a outstanding red devil, is being considered for sale by the Glazers(Owners of the Manchester United Club, the most popular team in the world)…….</p>
<p><a href="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Love-United-Hate-Glazer.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-23 alignright" src="http://www.soccerspeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Love-United-Hate-Glazer-296x300.jpg" alt="" width="296" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>In 2005, the Glazers family took over the ownership of the “Red Devils” with a huge sum of loaned money. Since then they have used the huge revenues of the club which has placed it as the richest football club for many years, they used the revenues to repay the loans and the interest resulted. Moreover, they put restraints on the transfers and wages budget of the club which was obvious with no famous name joining the club and from the other side famous names leaving (Ronaldo and Tevez). After the financial crisis that rocked the world, the parent company of Manchester United and which is owned by the Glazers was not far from the crisis. As a result, there are rumors now spreading that the Glazers are planning to sell some assets like star players including Wayne Rooney and Vidic and above all selling the star player along the history of the club, Old Trafford!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We all know that in the world of football game, there is the concept of substitution and replacing along history. But, Old Trafford is an irreplaceable player and a player who cannot be substituted or loaned to another party. The Glazers must leave the United world alone not for the sake of the Red devils only but for the football community. Let the Protests against the “American” Glazers be fierce: Love United and Hate Glazers!!</p>
