Bayern Munich star Arturo Vidal is not keen on the switch to Chelsea as he prefers to remain in Germany until the end of the season, according to reports.

Since the inception of the UEFA Champions League which was over 60 years ago with a different name, English clubs have only been able to lift the prestigious European title on 12 occasions of the total 62 times which have been completed.

Of the past decade, English clubs have not really made any kind of impact or influence in the UEFA Champions League.

The last time that an English team won the UEFA Champions League was back during the season of 2011-12 when Chelsea overcame Bayern Munich in a penalty shoot-out.

From there on out, England has struggled marking their name in European football while Spain has taken charge with Real Madrid and Barcelona emerging as extremely dominating forces.

Even Italy is beginning to rise in recent times with Juventus finishing as runners-up in the 2014-15 and the 2016-17 season.

Despite of this lack of power from English clubs, Carlo Ancelotti appears to be worried by them as the head coach of Bayern Munich said: Continue reading “Ancelotti believes that the Champions League will be more difficult” →

Joshua Kimmich denies that one of his main intentions at Confederations Cup will be to show Carlo Ancelotti how good he is.

As per Kimmich, there is no need for him to show his potential to Ancelotti because the Italian already has a fair idea about it. He has seen him at Bayern for one full season and he is aware of his qualities. He is also aware of the fact that he can be quite a versatile player.

A few weeks back, Kimmich had expressed his frustration at being kept out of the starting line-up of Munich way too often in the recently finished season and had joked that he was ready to even keep the goals for the team if that could get him a starting spot.

Reverting back to that statement, Kimmich admits that he was definitely not happy with how many games he got to start, but, he is hopeful that going into the future, he will get to feature in the starting line-up more number of times.

The draw for the quarter-finals of this season of the Champions League was completed a few days ago and Bayern Munich was pitted against Real Madrid in a match which will be the most anticipated one out of these entire quarter-final stages as 2 titans will be locking horns on April 12 of 2017.

Even though Real Madrid is one of the favorites of winning the European competition as the Spanish club has a squad which is filled with highly-rated and ambitious players that are eager to defend their Champions League title as they are the current champions and have the incredible difficult task of keeping hold of it and winning it for a 2^nd successive year.

Despite all of this, manager of Bayern Munich Carlo Ancelotti does not appear to be worried and the Italian coach is instead excited about being able to face-off with the club that he used to coach.

“Real are world champion, Champions League holders with a fantastic team, players and trainer. It’s a special game for me and I’m excited by the prospect of facing Real Madrid. In modern football, every team knows everything about each other. This isn’t a topic for me. I know everything youneed to know about every team in Europe, not only Real Madrid. There’s no advantage’’ Continue reading “Carlo Ancelotti is thrilled to face his former club Real Madrid” →

English Premier League giant Chelsea have lost out in the race to sign 21-year old rising star Niklas Sule to German champions Bayern Munich, according to reports from the transfer market.

The starlet has been crucial to Hoffenheim’s unbeaten record this campaign. He decided to join the top German side in spite of serious interests from the Blues.

Antonio Conte wanted the talented defender to join the backline at Stamford Bridge amidst concerns of an aging block of defenders. John Terry is poised to end his stay at Chelsea this season and he is 36 years already. Gary Cahill is 31 while David Luiz is 29, meaning Chelsea have to think ahead if they want to continue their recent successes in the Premier League.

Bayern got the player for a reported £17.5 million after impressing Carlo Ancelotti. He has been central to Hoffenheim’s fifth place position in the Bundesliga and their record of being the only side yet to lose a game. The 6ft5in placed already had a bid for him rejected but Chelsea remained adamant. The loss of Leonardo Bonucci – who agreed to a new deal with Italian champions Juventus recently – strengthened the resolve of the former Italy national team manager to get the player.

The United States of America have sacked their national team coach in a bid to revamp their bid for the 2018 World Cup set to hold in Russia.

Fifty two year old German Jurgen Klinsmann has been the coach since he took over in 2011. However, with the US lying bottom of a World Cup qualifying group of 6, the ex-Germany international was relieved of his duties.

The US Soccer president Sunil Gulati has said that he remains optimistic of their chances in making Russia 2018, despite placing below the likes of Honduras, Panama and others in their qualifying campaign.

“We remain confident we have quality players to help us advance to Russia 2018. But the form and growth of the team up to this point left us convinced that we need to go in a different direction,” Gulati said.

“With the next qualifying match in late march, we have several months to refocus. We need to determine the best way forward to ensure a successful journey to qualify for our eighth consecutive World Cup,” he added.

After Englishman Sam Allardyce was relieved of his appointment as the Three Lions boss, Klinsmann was one of the top persons speculated to take up the role. The former Spurs player achieved a decent record during his time as the US national team manager, until the recent poor run. The retired German football player won the World Cup himself in 1990. He was impressive for the German national team side in 2006, but he could not quite reach such levels in the United States.

Bruce Arena is the man touted to take over. Arena is a former US coach – from 1998 to 2006 – and has experience managing LA Galaxy – a top MLS side. Arena would have a tough job at ensuring the US play in Russia in 2018.

Bayern Munich, having won their last Champions league match, have advanced to the knockout phase of the tournament this term.

The penalty kick which led to the equalizer, came in the 34th minute of the game after Andres Guardado, a PSV midfielder committed a handball within his own eighteen-yard box. The second goal came in the 73rd minute after a square ball received from David Alaba was deftly steered into the opponents net.
