Fabregas: Spreman sam ostati u Arsenalu do kraja karijere


Cesc Fabregas tvrdi kako je spreman do kraja karijere ostati u Arsenalu, unatoč tome što novinari stalno špekuliraju o njegovom mogućem povratku u Španjolsku, u jedan od dva najveća tamošnja kluba.

Fabregas, koji je sa 16 godina napustio Barcelonu, kaže kako nikada nije bio sretniji u redovima Topnika, te dodaje da je zaboravio na planove o povratku u Španjolsku.

"Kada sam tek došao ovdje, ideja mi je bila da se vratim u Španjolsku jednog dana. Ali istina je da sam svakog dana sve sretniji ovdje, volim London, ljude i klub. Da budem iskren, svakog dana imam sve veću želju da ovdje ostanem do kraja karijere. Nisam imao tu sreću da zaigram u španjolskoj ligi, a sada sam se identificirao sa premierligaškim nogometom, jer se ovdje igra strastveno, brzo i napadački. To je nogomet koji najviše volim." rekao je Fabregas.

                                               Arsenal: Lehmann spreman na odlazak u siječnju


Jens Lehmann bi mogao biti prisiljen u siječnju napustiti Arsenal, kako bi sačuvao poziciju prvog vratara njemačke reprezentacije prije europskog prvenstva, koje je na rasporedu sljedećeg ljeta.

Lehmann je nakon niza kikseva i ozljede ispao iz prve momčadi, a njegovo je mjesto čvrsto zgrabio Manuel Almunia, čiji su dobri nastupi i u domaćim i u europskim utakmicama zatvorili Lehmannu vrata prve momčadi.

Lehmann će se sljedećeg mjeseca susresti sa izbornikom Loewom, koji će mu najvjerojatnije savjetovati promjenu sredine ukoliko do tada ne izbori veću minutažu.

"Ovisno o onome što izbornik kaže, morat ću razmisliti o svojoj budućnosti u prosincu. Definitivno želim igrati na europskom prvenstvu, to mi je uvijek bio cilj." rekao je Lehmann.

38-godišnji vratar, koji još nije odustao od nade da će povratiti svoje mjesto u momčadi Arsenala, kaže kako bi bio spreman drugi dio sezone odigrati čak i u nižem rangu natjecanja: "Bundesliga je uvijek atraktivna i to je jedna opcija, ali možda je opcija čak i njemačka druga liga. Situacija je takva kakva jest. Važno je samo ono što menadžer odluči, a ja ovo razdoblje koristim kako bih što bolje trenirao. Menadžer zna da sam jako motiviran. Volio bih uskoro ponovno zaigrati, a nadam se da i hoću. Bio bih jako iznenađen kad to ne bi bilo tako."

Arsene Wenger tvrdi kako Lehmann još uvijek ima dosta vremena da se probije u momčad prije bilo kakve odluke o budućnosti u klubu. Njemački reprezentativac je ranije ove godine potpisao 12-mjesečni ugovor, ali od siječnja može slobodno pregovarati sa drugim klubovima.

"Ukoliko se situacija ne promijeni do siječnja, onda ćemo vidjeti što dalje. Ali još uvijek smo u studenom. Studeni i prosinac donose dovoljno vremena da on povrati svoje mjesto. On je spreman za taj izazov, jer je on 200% profesionalac." rekao je Wenger.

Mourinho Also Slams Wenger's Foreign Policy



Former Chelsea manager has mocked Arsene Wenger's team building style, insisting that he has done more for the English game, building a winning team which had an English core.

Insisting that he always tried to have an English feel about his Chelsea side - unlike Wenger at Arsenal - Mourinho said: “Unlike Arsenal, we tried to build success through a concept of using English players.
“We wanted to project a positive image of Chelsea without running the risk of filling the club with lots of foreign players.
“That would bring us problems in handling the dressing room and in the Press which is sensitive to the use of English players.
“The people in England don’t easily forgive clubs which misrepresent their championship with a complete intake of foreign footballers.
“The animosity towards Abramovich was due to the idea he was going to turn Chelsea into a depot of players who came and went just for the sake of spending money.
“My hands were not exactly free to choose my first list of signings. We had to find the right balance to correspond with my idea of success while maintaining a balance between English and foreign players.”
Not About Money
The debate has picked up wind once again in recent days with the likes of Sepp Blatter and Sir Alex Ferguson all zeroing in on Wenger.
Mourinho - for whom John Terry, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole were regulars when fit - insisted that Roman Abramovich's money had nothing to do with the debate, or indeed his own success.
The Portuguese pointed out that Wenger took a similar route when bringing in the likes of Thierry Henry, Marc Overmars, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira, Emmanuel Petit, Freddie Ljungberg and Sylvian Wiltord.
“Do people really think only Chelsea have spent a lot of money?
“Did they [Arsenal's players] all come for nothing? Of course not.
"With those players Wenger won championships, he won time and, because he is a manager with admirable ability, he won people’s respect.
“But in building success he started in the same place as Chelsea. It was only later Wenger cemented his policy of relying on developing young players.”

ARSENAL

Despite reports to the contrary, Tomas Rosicky's agent has confirmed that the Czech international will not be leaving Arsenal.

The former Borussia Dortmund man has been linked with a switch to Inter for the last two years but a move this winter now looks unlikely.

Meanwhile, striker Emmanuel Adebayor believes the manner of Arsenal's 3-1 win over Reading on Monday night will have sent a strong message to fellow title contenders Manchester United.

What a match!

This took place at White Hart Lane, of all places in 1945. Arsenal were playing Dynamo Moscow when a dense fog descended on the pitch. The referee refused to abandon the match because the visiting team had come all the way from Moscow. The game swiftly reduced to farce! One Arsenal player was sent off for fighting, but sneaked back on again in the fog. The Russians substituted a player, but never sent their player off. Indeed, there were strong suspicions, that throughout the game, the Russian side secretly increased from 11 players to 15! The problem was that no-one could actually see enough to count them. The final confusion happened when the Arsenal goalie became disorientated in the fog, ran into the goal post and knocked himself out. He was replaced by a member of the crowd.

AAAA. ludo
