Hulk regrets transfer request after rift at Zenit

Zenit St Petersburg´s Hulk says his rift with fellow players and the coaching staff led him to hand in a transfer request but says he has made amends.

Hulk was embroiled in spats with coach Luciano Spalletti and captain Igor Denisov and announced his intention to quit in the January transfer window.

"I think I messed up. I was nervous and I said something I shouldn’t have. Nowadays I’m feeling better at Zenit, I have more confidence in the coach and teammates and I don’t think about that," he told the Euronews TV channel.

"I felt I couldn’t perform because my teammates had no confidence in me.”

"Some players disrespected me, but I said nothing, to avoid more problems," Hulk said, adding an affirmation when asked whether he was referring to Denisov and striker Alexander Kerzhakov.

Zenit coach Luciano Spalletti has hinted at splits in the squad between Russian and foreign players, who he suggested attended separate social events.

Zenit are third in the Russian league table, five points behind leaders CSKA Moscow with 11 games remaining.

Arsenal´s André Santos relishing Grêmio loan move

Arsenal defender André Santos has spoke of his excitement ahead of a proposed year-long loan move to Grêmio.

The Brazilian full-back has struggled to adapt to Premier League life following his £6.2million transfer from Fenerbahçe in 2011 and has subsequently been allowed to leave.

The Gunners have not commented on Santos´ future but reports of a return to his homeland on loan surfaced after he was photographed arriving in Porto Alegre on Sunday.

The 29-year-old has revealed he is looking forward to the challenge with the Brasileirão outfit and is excited about playing under coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo.

Santos told Lancenet at the airport: "I have the best expectations. They are one of the biggest clubs in the country.

"I´ve come to Gremio to be a champion. I am very excited about this project.

"I have dreamed of working with Luxemburgo. He is a top manager in our football."

Santos is keen to play regularly after struggling to establish himself at Arsenal, but accepts that it will take time for him to get into peak condition.

He added: "If there was a game today, I would like to play. But I need to be match fit as I played a game one day, then not the next one.

"I´ll need five or six games to be fitter. I´m anxious to know the squad."

Grêmio look to have beaten the race against time to sign Santos, in order to register him for this season’s Copa Libertadores before Tuesday.

Suriname indeholder jo også fantastiske individer - og har vel bidraget til hollandsk fodbold ?

Enig. Ret vildt hvor mange klassespillere der er kommet fra Suriname. Spillere som Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Patrick Kluivert, Clarence Seedorf, Edgar Davids, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Romeo Castelen, Ryan Babel, Aron Winter. Suriname ville have været et kæmpe fodboldland i Sydamerika, hvis de kunne få de spillere til at spille for deres landshold.

Ja absolut, de har vist også klare sig ganske godt i CONCACAF Klubturneringer i 70´erne....Det fædrende ophav til En del af de spillere du nævner spillede faktisk i Suriname, synd at der gik Judas i den fora sønnernes side, ummidelbart er der da en Drenthe på landsholdholdet muligvis/sandsynligvis en familierelation Royston - og hvem kan glemme Robin Hoods formidable forsvarsklippe Ferdinand Jap A Joe....



Det var så det her FF17 så lørdag nat...man forstår jo mandens nyfundne passion...


Club Tijuana vs. Club America: Final score 1-2, Moises Muñoz puts in superhuman performance

Club America went down to nine men in the first half against Tijuana, and had to play at least one man down for 70 minutes. Thanks to Moises Muñoz´s effort in goal, they pulled out a stunning road win at Estadio Caliente.

Thanks to an early error by the Club Tijuana defense, a wonderstrike and an unbelievable man of the match performance by Moises Muñoz, Club America ran out 2-1 winners at Estadio Caliente despite being reduced to nine men. They picked up their first red card in the 21st minute and their second before the end of the first half, but managed to build on their early 1-0 lead, then hold on for a victory.

Tijuana dominated possession early and looked like the much more likely of the two teams to score until the 11th minute, when ´Chucho´ Cristian Benitez drew a penalty. Cristian Pellerano reacted slowly to a surging run and tripped the America striker, leading to an Osvaldo Martinez goal from the spot.

In the 21st minute, Rubens Sambueza, who picked up a yellow card just 30 seconds in the game, went into the book for the second time and was sent off. While the first booking was legitimate, the second was questionable. He fouled Duiver Riascos, but did not hit him in the face, the part of his body that the Colombian went down clutching to draw the booking. On the ensuing free kick, Muñoz came up with a massive save.

America´s second sending off came in the 39nd minute, and was much more clear-cut. Aquivaldo Mosquera, who had picked up his first booking for dissent while arguing the Sambueza sending off, was shown his second for tripping Fernando Arce. While the foul wasn´t a hard one, it did come from behind, on a man who was running through on goal, and the referee had no choice but to send him off.

Tijuana threw men forward with reckless abandon in the final minutes of the first half, trying to equalize before the break, but failed to find the back of the net.

Thinking that they were safe to attack aggressively with America down to nine, Tijuana were caught out on the counter by the visitors, who shockingly doubled their lead in the 54th minute. Right back Paul Aguilar was the man who notched the goal, hitting the strike of his life over the head of Cirilo Saucedo from 25 yards. He was surrounded by three Tijuana defenders when he took the shot, and their unwillingness to close him down when he had no one to pass to was stunning.

Pablo Aguilar set up a wild finish, finally scoring for Tijuana in the 76th minute off a cross by Raul Enriquez, on a move that Muñoz couldn´t do much to prevent. Shockingly, this did not signal America to put all nine men behind the ball and attempt to sit on their lead. They continued to send numbers forward on the counter-attack, which kept Tijuana from being as lethal as possible in their pursuit of an equalizer. As crazy as it was, it ultimately turned out to be an effective tactic.

Joe Corona had an excellent chance to equalize three minutes after the Xolos´ first goal, but hit a poor shot wide of the near post from very close range. Tijuana looked to have their chance to secure a point on a scramble in stoppage time, when the ball fell to Aguilar in space to shoot, but his effort was saved spectacularly -- and in unorthodox fashion -- by Muñoz´s knees.

This is the kind of result that alters seasons significantly, and it wouldn´t be stunning to see both teams feel the effects of this result for some time. These were three massive points for America and could provide a huge boost. Meanwhile, the result will almost certainly be a gutting one for Tijuana.

Enig. Ret vildt hvor mange klassespillere der er kommet fra Suriname. Spillere som Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Patrick Kluivert, Clarence Seedorf, Edgar Davids, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Romeo Castelen, Ryan Babel, Aron Winter. Suriname ville have været et kæmpe fodboldland i Sydamerika, hvis de kunne få de spillere til at spille for deres landshold

Men man må hellere ikke undervurdere den hollandske skoling af spillerne. De var garanteret ikke blevet til de klassespillere, som de blev til, hvis det ikke havde været for den hollandske skole. De bor/boede vel også allesammen i Holland, så relationerne til hjemlandet er måske ikke så store alligevel. Lidt a la Sterling i Liverpool.

Det er sgu ærgerligt at Cristhian Lagos efterhånden er blevet 28år. Han var jo MÅLSCOREREN i den costaricanske liga sidste år. Han scorede sit første mål for Saprissa i går efter skiftet fra Santos de Guápiles. Han kunne ellers være blevet "den nye Wanchope" med sine 187cm. Han virker i hvert fald rigtig robust i de kampe jeg har set med ham og han har også lidt tekniske egenskaber. I går kommer han til en afslutning lige inden Saprissa scorer deres første mål, hvor fysikken er en stor del af det.

Interne mennesker rundt Grêmio rygter om Kaka. Hold da fast, den kære præsident ønsker at se holdet blive mestre

Flot kamp af Lanus i den argentinske clausura. De fører lige nu 4-0 imod Colon.

Ja, de har været ovenpå.

Og kampen slut, 4-0. Det ser ud til man skal holde øje med Lanus i den her sæson. Den gode Roberto Sensini på Colons trænerbænk, så ud til at være en presset mand.
