Frank Lampard is widely considered as one of the greatest midfielders in the Premier League era as he won a lot of titles during his time at Chelsea. The 38-year-old is also the club’s record scorer in the Premier League.
The former star of Manchester United and Arsenal, named Robin Van Persie, on 19th January, proved that he still has it in him with a brilliant goal by free-kick while he was in action for the club of Feyenoord during a clash versus PEC Zwolle. The player who is 35 years old rolled back past experience with an excellent free-kick in only the 35th minute in order to restore the parity for his club of boyhood.
We have seen the home crowd doing funny things to distract the opposition, but what one of the Feyenoord spectators did during the previous home game against PSV Eindhoven was a first of its kind.
Mexico international Javier Hernandez has paid tribute to Juan Carlos Osorio shortly after it was confirmed that he has stepped down from the managerial role with El Tri. The 57-year-old had been with the national team for the past three years where he produced a number of impressive results including a shock win over Germany at the World Cup. Despite this, Osorio snubbed the prospect of a contract extension with El Tri and he has now decided to pursue a fresh challenge elsewhere.
Pep Guardiola would hopefully be the man to help Manchester City overcome a second season curse after an almost perfect last term. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich man helped the club break several league records last season.
Robin van Persie had not played in the international stage in 2 years and it wasn’t until a few days ago when the former Arsenal star managed to make his return to the Netherlands squad.
Netherlands are struggling to qualify for the upcoming worldwide football competition as they have collected 13 points from 8 qualifying games and with only 2 more matches left, the team of Dick Advocaat will need to secure positive results in their final games against Belarus and Sweden which are going to be played on October 7 and 10 respectively.
The 34 year old Dutch attacker of Fenerbahce, Robin van Persie wanted to help his national side in their attempts to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup but it’s believed that he sustained a career ending injury.
According to reports and rumors, the veteran forward sustained a cruciate knee ligament which could leave him out of the playing field for 1 year and considering his elevated age, it might be the end of his professional career. (more…)
Former Manchester United player, Robin Van Persie has gone into preparations for the upcoming season.
The video bore the caption “Getting ready for the new season” and showed hi, putting his paces through on the pads.
The Dutch striker seemed quite good with his hands and would surely be hoping for the best season wherever he finds himself.
The current Fenerbahce man has no mote that a year left on his contract with the club and has already been linked with a move to a foreign club in Turkey.
One of the clubs interested in him is said to be Feyenoord, the same very club where he began his footballing career.
The 33 year old who recently spoke about his future noted that he was quite unsure of his career as to where he would be plying his trade at the expiration of his contract. (more…)
With an aggregate score of 2-1, Manchester United has edged out a victory over Celta de Vigo and the English Premier League club will be facing off with Ajax in the finals which will be played on May 24.
Manchester United has generally been able to compete and qualify for the UEFA Champions League on a consistent basis but recent struggles has seen them being dropped to the Europa League and if they are able to defeat Ajax in the finals on May 24, then Jose Mourinho and his squad will earn a qualification spot for the upcoming Champions League season.
Jose Mourinho is not very pleased about the date of the finals as Manchester United still has 3 more Premier League matches left to be played while Ajax on the other hand only has 1 match. (more…)
The tempers have been flying high between the supporters of Fenerbahce and Besiktas since the derby match of the two teams yesterday.
He was the one who first displayed his outstanding acting skills to cook up a foul and make the referee issue an exit command to Dusko Tosic decreasing Besiktas by one player on the pitch.
And then shortly, the striker got indulged into an altercation with Oguzhan Ozyakup who incidentally happened to be someone he had played alongside for the Gunners and had a good equation before this.
RVP had the last laugh though after everything as he ended up delivering the only successful strike of the match and then the way he celebrated irked many of the Besiktas supporters because he went right into the face of Ozyakup who had taunted him earlier. (more…)
Manchester United ace, Zlatan Ibrahimovic struck the two goals in the 2-0 win over West Brom on Saturday and the Big Swede’s goal record at the same stage of the season surpasses that of the likes of Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robin van Persie.
Robin van Persie scored 15 goals at the same stage in the 2012/2013 season and that season happened to be the player’s most prolific campaign for the Red Devils. He struck a whopping 30 goals during the season and no other Man United player has managed to beat that goal haul since 2012.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s best at the same stage of the season came in the 2007/2008 campaign when he scored 14 goals, a record which was matched by Wayne Rooney four years later. (more…)
