The Price of Being The Best For Barcelona

All the success that the team has experienced in the last three seasons, where ten titles have been won, has supposed a strong financial effort from the club’s arcs, as they have spent E 277.5 millions just in transfers. Football is a team sport, and as a team sport everyone involved in it needs to work as hard to make things happen. If the players, along with their coach and assistants, as well as the administrative staff don’t move at the same pace, it is very unlikely to see success happen. This formula is one that in Barcelona they don’t just fully understand, but practice as well. In the last three seasons they have been living their golden years, but not much is said about what lies behind that success: a multimillionaire investment that easily surpasses the E 300-million fee in concept of transfers and incentives.

Since Coach Joseph Guardiola began his cycle in the summer of 2008 ten titles have been won, representing an investment of E 277.5 millions to the club, just in matter of transfers. If we split that amount into ten we will get the sum of money that Barcelona had to invest to win each title is of: E 27.8 millions, which for the fans have been worth every single cent. If to that investment we add the money invested in terms of incentives, for this season aloneE 45 millions more came out from the arcs of the club: E 20 millions for wining La Liga and E 25 millions approximately for the UEFA Champions League. With a debt that rises to E 483 millions, the economic situation is not the best for Barcelona, becoming the antithesis of their present on the pitch, where they are writing the golden pages of their history with three la Liga championships in a row and two UEFA Champions League titles as their most prestigious feats. Aware of this issue before even taking charge of the club the last summer, now President Sandro Rossell and his men began to work in a plan to heal the economy of the club, a plan that has been able to reduce E 49 millions from a debt that prior to their mandate was of E 532 millions.

To do so the club has decided to adopt new policy in terms of the budget assigned to each sport, for besides football Barcelona also participates professionally in basketball, handball, hockey, indoor soccer, and the other eight amateur sections. Since the recent contract renewals of the football team represented an increase of E 28 millions in the bills of the club, it was decided to reduce the budget assigned to every sport, but football, in order to afford the investment. In the only aspect that the football team is going to be limited is in the budget for transfers, for which the club has reserved only E 45 millions, five less than last summer. Of course that these amount could be increased if the team trades some of their players, for their income would be then be reinvested to sign reinforcements. Admired by millions for its classy and flashy game that has become a role model in the 21st century, Barcelona is now focused in becoming a financial role model, and seems to be in the right track.

How To Buy A Suitable Soccer Jersey For Yourself

Every soccer player, whether amateur or professional, wants to have nice jersey that he could use while playing his favorite sport. We all know that soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world and it is very popular in European and Latin American countries. It is gaining a lot of fans from Asian countries as well. Soccer fans are very much devoted to this sport and that is why it is no wonder soccer jerseys are in huge demand the world over too. Here are some tips that can help you choose your jersey:

Choosing between branded or not branded

When shopping for a jersey, you might find yourself deciding between a branded jersey and one that is not branded. Well, the good thing about branded jerseys is that they are made of high quality material. They are very durable and that is why you will be able to use them for a very long time. If you play soccer a lot, you should definitely settle for a branded jersey. After all, you would be using it most of the time so it is a good thing that it is durable. It would be a good idea to invest your money on a jersey which has been manufactured by a well-established brand. But if you want a jersey simply because it is fashionable and you do not play soccer too much, you can settle for a non-branded one.

Choosing between collared and collarless

Aside from choosing between a branded and a non-branded jersey, you will also encounter one dilemma. You will have to choose between a collared and a collarless jersey. Basically, collared jerseys are more expensive. However, their prices are not really far from the prices of their collarless counterparts. The good thing about collared jerseys is that they are classified under the semi-formal category. Therefore, you could wear them during semi-formal occasions or if you want to hang out with your friend somewhere. On the other hand, professional players find collars irritable. They say that collars provide discomfort especially while playing. If you agree with them, you should purchase a collarless shirt.

Choosing between long sleeved and short sleeved

It is very easy to decide between a long sleeved and a short sleeved soccer jersey. Long sleeved soccer jerseys are usually worn in cold places. So if you live in a cold and windy country, a long sleeved soccer jersey is ideal for you. But you should also note that long sleeved jerseys also help protect the skin of the arms from being burnt by the sun. On the other hand, short-sleeved jerseys are more comfortable and do not really cause too much sweating.

Soccer jerseys as gifts

Even if you are not a soccer fan, you might know somebody who loves the sport. A soccer jersey will definitely make him very happy. You do not know how happy a soccer fan is if he gets a new jersey from you. However, when purchasing a jersey for a particular person, you should know what team he roots for and what team he despises. You do not want to hand him the jersey of the team that he hates, do you? Soccer jerseys are not really expensive and that is why they are perfect gifts for those people who really love soccer!

Fifa Club World Cup – Barcelona Wins Over Atlante to Seal a Spot in The Final

Barcelona arrived to Abu Dhabi on Sunday creating a lot of expectation among fans and media. And that was just the beginning of a great week for Barcelona, having Messi back from an ankle injury that was bothering him since last week. Messi’s comeback was very positive for the team since he leaded them to a victory against the Mexican team of Atlante 3-1 and assured them a spot in the final of the Club World Cup. Messi demonstrated once more on Tuesday why he was designated as FIFA’s world player of the year. Coming from this injury he didn’t show any negative effects and was able to score when he received a pass from Zlatan Ibrahimovic 54 minutes into the game. But Atlante started strong as they were the first ones to score. They took advantage of Barcelona poor performance at the beginning of the game. They took the lead after just five minutes when Guillermo Rojas advanced through the defense and got to pass goalkeeper Victor Valdes and score. Barcelona tried to put everything together to find their rhythm and they had several opportunities when Ibrahimovic shot from distance. But it was not until minute 35′ when Sergio Busquets tied the game. Xavi’s had a corner shot that flicked off to Busquets who shot the ball to the far post. Barca had the opportunity to go to the half time break with a lead; just when the first half was about to finish Alves had a clear opportunity when he fired into the side-netting with only Vilar to beat but it was not enough. Messi came into the game as a replacement for Yaya Toure at minute 53 and while the entire crowd singed and screamed his name.

The move from Pep Guardiola was great as 10 minutes later Messi was able to score the second goal for Barca to take the lead 1-2. “We are Barcelona and some people take for granted that we are going to win and it’s very hard,” said coach Pep Guardiola. “It wasn’t a marvelous game but it wasn’t too bad.” Pedro Rodriguez sealed the victory for Barcelona on minute ’66 when he receive a very good pass from Iniesta and fired from a very close range. Rodriguez is the first player to score in six different competitions in one year. Atlante missed several opportunities to equalize the game. After 73 minutes of play Gabriel Pereyra missed a clear shot in front of Barca’s goalkeeper. Guardiola is now a little concern about Andres Iniesta since he left the game with pain in his leg and it is unclear if he will be able to play on Saturday. Barcelona is now moving to the final of the Club World Cup against the South American champions Estudiantes of Argentina on Saturday for the sixth trophy of the year. They have already won the La Liga BBA, the Champions League, Copa del Rey, the Spanish Supercup and the European Supercup respectively.

Wednesday’s Champions League Betting

Wednesday??s Champions League Betting

This evening sees the final eleven games from the second qualifying round of the Champions League. Who will progress to the final qualifying round? BetRepublic previews a selection of games here.

Rosenborg v Linfield Soccer Betting Tip :

After claiming a shock 0-0 draw last week, the Northern Irish champions are still in this tie and they travel to Norway with a chance of eliminating their more illustrious opponents. Can they do so though? Books don’t think so, making Rosenborg 1/12 favourites to win this match in normal time, with Linfield available at 16/1 and the draw at 13/2.

With odds that short the bookmakers clearly believe that this game is going to be a walk in the park for the 2009 Norwegian league champions. However, Rosenborg had won eight straight matches prior to the draw with Linfield last week and ended up drawing their second game in a row following last week’s fixture in Belfast.

At home Rosenborg are a tough proposition having won eight and drawn three of their last eleven games in a run that stretches back to April. They have also kept seven clean sheets in their last nine home matches, and with Linfield likely to play 4-5-1 again I feel that Rosenborg will win this game to nil as well, but they will have to work hard for it.

My money is on the game to be level at half time with Rosenborg going on to win the game at odds of 3/1 and there to be less than 2.5 goals in the match at 13/8.

Debreceni VSC v Levadia Tallinn:

This tie is another match that is far from certain, with the Hungarian champions bringing back a 1-1 draw from their travels to Estonia last week. Debrecen made the group stages of the Champions League last year, can they beat the Estonian champions and book their place in the final qualifying round this evening? Online sportsbooks make Debrecen the favourites to win in normal time at odds of 2/5, whole Levadia can be backed at 13/2 and the draw is available at 11/4.

The first leg match between these two sides was an entertaining encounter with plenty of chances and action and the Estonian champions looked to have victory sown up as they took the lead on the hour but Debrecen clawed their way back with an injury time equaliser. That goal was the first goal that Levadia had conceded in five matches and they got back to their clean sheet ways again last weekend with a 5-0 away win in the league.

Debrecen did not play as their domestic season is yet to begin, but having reached the group stages last season they should have enough quality to win this game, but will they?

Levadia will be highly confident form and I feel that they could upset the favourites here, maybe not by winning but by not losing at least. As a result i’m backing the draw @ 11/4 in this match and splitting my stakes on the correct scores of 1-1 @ 13/2 and 2-2 @ 16/1.

FH Hafnarfjordur v BATE Borisov:

After a thrilling end to the first leg tie that saw all six goals scored in the second half, and four in the last five minutes, BATE take a commanding lead into this game and look to assured their passage into the third qualifying round. After winning 5-1 and holding a four goal advantage, will they slack off in this game and allow FH Hafnarfjordur to claim an unlikely win?

BATE are the 8/11 favourites to win this match within ninety minutes, with FH available at 14/5 and the draw can be backed at 5/2. Will the game go according to these odds though?

I don’t feel that it will as FH will want to go out of the tournament proving that they are worthy of a place in it and they will play their hardest to get themselves a goal or two, while BATE are comfortable and with their domestic season not having started yet they will treat this more as a training session than a competitive tie. However, BATE still have enough to win this game easily and I see them winning and there being a few goals in the game. As a result i’ll be backing BATE to win @ 5/6 and over 2.5 goals to be scored at odds of 4/6.

Recommends:

Draw/Rosenborg HT/FT @ 3/1

Under 2.5 goals to be scored in Rosenborg v Linfield @ 13/8

Debreceni VSC v Levadia Tallinn to end as a draw @ 11/4

Split your stakes on 1-1 @ 13/2 and 2-2 @ 16/1 in the Debreceni v Levadia game

BATE Borisov to beat FH Hafnarfjordur @ 5/6

More than 2.5 goals to be scored in the BATE v FH game @ 4/6

Head’s Up-Concussions in Youth Soccer

Nearly 18 million children play youth soccer in a given year, and according to the American Journal of Sports Medicine, soccer is the number one sport for high-school girls’ concussions. It is the number two sport for overall youth concussions, ranked only after boys’ football.

In fact, one in ten of all athletes will sustain a concussion this year, although this number may be low because many are never diagnosed or reported. The risk of permanent damage to young people is terrible, and many parents and coaches need to be educated further on the topic.

In soccer, the majority of concussions are not caused by heading the ball, as is commonly believed. In fact, over 70% of concussions sustained while playing soccer are caused by player-to-player contact.

Be aware of the symptoms of a concussion and look for them after every head incident.

1. headache or feeling of pressure in the head

2. nausea or vomiting

3. loss of balance or dizziness

4. double or blurry vision

5. overly bothered by light or noise

6. feeling sluggish, foggy, hazy or groggy

7. Difficulty paying attention

8. Memory problems

9. Confusion

10. Does not “feel right”

In the event that any of these symptoms present after a head injury, take the athlete out of the game. Do not attempt to assess the child yourself, but seek a health professional immediately. MRIs are common tests for diagnosing a concussion. It is imperative that you seek professional advice, because these injuries are hard to diagnose, may present even days after the incident, and may last for a long time.

A concussion is a traumatic brain injury, and should be treated with the utmost seriousness and care. Do not ever make light of a player who has banged her head and complains of a headache. Get help immediately.

Most treatment for a concussion includes monitoring and rest. And by rest, we mean both physical and cognitive. A child with a concussion may be kept home from school for a period of time, and may not be permitted to indulge in any activities which require concentration and attention, such as watching television, playing video games, or even sending text messages on her cell phone. While boring, this enforced leisure is extremely important, to give the brain time to heal fully. Most symptoms completely disappear within three weeks.

People who have suffered a concussion tend to be susceptible to a second, even if the second injury is a lesser injury than the first, and this is especially true if the symptoms from the first have not completely resolved. Thus it is critical to make sure that the injured child is fully healed before permitting her to play again.

Awareness and prevention measures should be taught to the athletes. At this age, players should not be encouraged to head the ball. Too many neck and spinal injuries are also possible, in addition to concussions, when athletes are not fully developed and in control of their bodies. Collisions among players should be avoided if possible, by players paying more attention to where on the field the other players are, and by not deliberately running into other players as a tactic.

With some education and preventive care, perhaps we can cut down on the number of young athletes who are injured in our sport each year.
