Posted by on . No comments.

Ex-Chelsea and FC Porto right-back Jose Bosingwais delighted that the footballing world has Jose Mourinho. Jose Bosingwaknows a lot about Jose Mourinho having played under him at FC Porto in the Portuguese top flight. Jose Bosingwa spoke about his former manager at FC Porto in a chat with Omnisport as he expressed his happiness that Portuguese tactician Mourinho is back doing what he loves and that’s managing a team from the dugout after he was written off at the end of his unsuccessful spell as the Manchester United boss. A lot of football stakeholders questioned Jose Mourinho and his ability to manage at the top level following his sack from the Red Devils managerial job.

Jose Mourinho lost his job as the Manchester United manager in December 2018 shortly after the disappointing 3-1 defeat at the hands of hosts and arch rivals Liverpool in the Premier League. That loss compounded a poor start to the 2018/19 season. He was replaced by former Red Devils striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaeron the interim before the Norwegian tactician was made the permanent manager as reward for his impressive record as the interim Manchester United manager. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still the Manchester United manager till date and he has elevated the Red Devils to be genuine title contenders this season.

The Chelsea team from 2012 champions league final

Posted by on . No comments.

Chelsea was well beaten by Bayern Munich in the round of 16 UEFA champions league tie first league at Stamford Bridge. The blues did put in a strong performance in the first half to keep their illustrious German opponent at Bay, albeit the Bavarians were unlucky on some occasions. The second half was another story entirely, as Serge Gnabry produced another masterpiece performance in London. He had scored four goals against another London team, Tottenham in the group stage, in 7-2 mauling. He was instrumental again last night as he scored another 2, and the reliable Robert Lewandowski scored the third, adding gloss to an already impressive score line. Lewandowski’s goal was his 39th in 33 appearances this season.


The last time the two teams met, the German didn’t have it their way, as the Blues were crown champions of Europe. Despite being overwhelming underdogs, Chelsea somehow came out on top after winning the penalty shootout in 2012, so Bayern were out looking for revenge.

There are a few players who have won the big prize and they have got the medal that they long dream of getting, they have not been able to find a place in the heart of their supporters, certainly not in the name of football.

HOW WILL WAN-BISSAKA FARE AT OLD TRAFFORD

Posted by on . No comments.

Manchester United have paid a record fee worth £50 million for Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

 

The defender swapped London for Manchester in a move that has been brewing for the past few weeks. It is understood that the player is expected to take up the number 29 jersey.

 

Wan-Bissaka is regarded as one of the best young fullbacks in the game and his transfer completes a remarkable year for the defender. Converted from a winger to the defense at the start of last season the 21-year-old excelled for the Eagles.

 

He would be expected to replace outgoing captain Antonio Valencia and likely to be thrust straight into the first team. This transfer was hastened so that the player would be able to partake in pre-season.

 

His marauding runs from deep and defensive solidity made him one of the most sought after defender this summer. Wan-Bissaka is perhaps the most high profile rightback to make a move in England since the signing of Jose Bosingwa by Chelsea several years ago.

 

Bosingwa had just been named in the Euro 2008 team of the tournament and came with lots of expectations. However, he flattered to deceive at the club despite winning several trophies at the club.
