Fixed Games

The manager of Everton Ronald Koeman announced that his team has no interest in the English national goalkeeper Joe Hart and denied the information. Hart currently had the role of reserve in City, apparently after Josep Guardiola chose Willy Caballero, and the arrival of Claudio Bravo`s signal from Barcelona for perhaps the end of the 10-year period of Hart in City. `Not everyone is trying to improve and develop. But I`m not the type of managers who speak in detail on every football player. Everyone will see our final squad on 31 August.`, Koeman replied to reporters whether he plans to lure Joe Hart. `We have no interest in him. We have a match with Stoke on Saturday and it is more important than any rumor. I have to prepare the team for this important game.` He added that more than 70 percent of the team is ready to play after a long vacation, but is not ready for the stresses that he wants to impose immediately. `We are going ahead, improving ourselves. I hope that the team wi...

The Barcelona coach Luis Enrique questioned the conduct of the matches mentioned by fixed game of the Supercup of Spain after the Catalans twice beat Sevilla, not allowed a single goal in its door and won the title at the start of the new season. Barca won with 5:0 total score in the two meetings between the teams. The Supercup of Spain exists in this version from 1982. `We love to win any trophies.

These matches mentioned by fixed game may be good for business, but I don`t see any sense in them.`, Enrique said. Only in Spain, these bouts are held in two meetings. `There must be a development and improvement. This is the most important thing for the players and the coaches. If it`s not...

Zinedine Zidane couldn`t help but recognize that Sergio Ramos again has proved to be the key figure for Real Madrid`s victory over Sevilla with 3:2 last night. The defender scored in the injury time to equalize and send the match via fixed games into extra time. Two years ago he did exactly the same thing, helping `Whites` to crush Atletico into the Champions League. `Sergio is our captain and a very important player at the team. He is always able to make a difference, as it was now. He continues to grow as a player and in this match via fixed games again he proved his key place at the right time.`, commented the Frenchman. `Congratulations to Sevilla, because they played really well. They dominated at certain times of the game, but we have not stopped to believe because in football you never know what can happen. We continued to fight and that`s something I`m very glad about.`, he added. `Of course, I`m pleased because it`s always nice to win the award. I`m glad that Asens...
