The Argentine saw off competition from Cristiano Ronaldo and Andres Iniesta to claim the award, and the Swiss official feels that there should be consolation prizes. “Messi is currently the best player, therefore we are very proud that the voters have made such a clear decision," he told Fifa.com. "As we invite the three remaining candidates, perhaps we should give three medals to avoid two of them going home empty-handed. This is something we should think about for the future." Fifa merged their World Player of the Year award with France Football's Ballon d'Or in 2010, and Messi has won all three editions of the newly-formed accolade. |
The Spain captain broke a bone in his thumb during the Copa del Rey match with Valencia and is expected to be out for six-to-eight weeks of the knock, which the 33- year-old feels could prove costly to the champions. "It's one more problem for them, he is the heart and soul of Real Madrid and their captain. He's a huge loss for Madrid and for Spain,” he told reporters. The Blaugrana midfielder also spoke of his shock at Jose Mourinho's decision to drop Casillas for the Liga matches against Malaga and Real Sociedad either side of the winter break. "I speak with him a lot, we send each other messages. I sent him my best wishes as soon as he was left out of the Madrid team; I was taken by surprise by that. "It was a shock to me that a player who has spent so many years as the No.1 and who was always in the team could suddenly be left out, but that's their problem. “It's a complicated situation, and it's not for me to give my opinion on. I read the news and I can see that the club is not in the best shape at an institutional level. "But they will be very difficult opponents in the [Copa del Rey] semi-finals and it will be very for us to beat them." by Taboola |
The Real Madrid boss refused to pass opinion on Pep Guardiola's decision to join Bayern Munich in the summer, but insisted that the Bundesliga does not appeal to him. Jose Mourinho has claimed that he has no intention of coaching a Bundesliga club after being quizzed on Pep Guardiola's recent appointment as Bayern Munich boss. The 42-year-old Spaniard was previously embroiled in an intense rivalry with the Portuguese while in charge of Barcelona between 2008 and 2012, but will end his sabbatical in the summer when he succeeds Jupp Heynckes. But in an interview with Rai Sport, the Real Madrid boss insisted that Guardiola's switch to Germany does not concern him, and neither does he intend to ever follow in his former opponent's footsteps. "I have no comment to make, everyone is entitled to their choice," said Mourinho. "Has he deliberately chosen a league I am not involved in? I don't know. What is certain is that I will not manage in Germany. "I have nothing to say on the matter, it is all the same to me." |

The Portugal international inspired his side to a comfortable victory with a clinical triple in the second period of this derby clash, after the first half had ended goalless. Cristiano Ronaldo continued his scintillating form with a well-taken hat-trick that takes his tally in the league this season to 21, after Sergio Ramos had opened the goalscoring for the home side. Jose Mourinho appeared to have one eye on the Copa del Rey semi-final against Barcelona this coming Wednesday as he rested players for this game, and it was only after Sami Khedira was introduced at half-time that los Merengues clicked. Ronaldo looked the most dangerous player on the pitch in the opening half an hour, and twice came close to scoring only to be thwarted by Getafe's goalkeeper Miguel Moya. Madrid continued to dominate possession as the first half wore on but did look susceptible on the break, as Diego Castro and the former Castilla player Pablo Sarabia stretched los Blancos' experienced back-line on more than one occasion. Mourinho decided to change things at the interval after Madrid failed to score in the first half, as Khedira came on for Raul Albiol which resulted in Essien dropping into right- back and Ramos moving inside to centre-back. The switch in personnel seemed to do the trick for the home side, as they took the lead in the 53rd minute through Ramos. The Spain international bundled home a corner after Moya failed to claim the cross, with the Getafe goalkeeper undoing some brilliant work moments before when he made a fabulous double-stop from Khedira and Angel Di Maria. Madrid, looking a completely different side following the break, and went 2-0 up thanks to a blistering counterattack that was clinically finished by Ronaldo. The former Manchester United man hammered a shot low under Moya and into the bottom-right corner of the net having sprinted 70 yards to support Ozil and receive the ball on the edge of the Getafe box. Within three minutes of that goal Ronaldo added a third. The Portuguese attacker's 20th league goal of the season came in the form of a close-range header after Di Maria had dinked an inviting cross to the back post which pulled Moya out of position. In the 72nd minute Ronaldo completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot to make it 4-0 to Madrid, after Luka Modric had been fouled in the area by Alberto Lopo. Madrid are now unbeaten in 22 matches at home in the league, but still trail Barcelona this season by 12 points. by Taboola |
The Frenchman insists he's no nearer to bringing any new faces in at The Emirates as Thursday's transfer deadline day looms, with Theo Walcott's new contract the only done deal. Arsene Wenger has conceded that he isn't close to bringing any new players to Arsenal in the January transfer window, claiming that the required calibre of player is hard to come by at this point in a season. A three-year contract extension for Theo Walcott is the only business that has taken place in the Gunners' boardroom, with fans frustrated at a lack of transfers under Wenger in recent times, but the Frenchman insists he will not bring in players for the sake of it. "You do not find them in the street, strikers who can play for us. We have strength in our team. It is difficult in January," he told reporters. "Realistically, I cannot tell you I will sign anyone tomorrow, or Tuesday, as we are not close to doing it." Those words are likely to cause unrest amongst the Gunners' faithful after they saw their team barely scrape through against Brighton in the FA Cup on Saturday. A late deflected Walcott effort was enough to see Arsenal through to round five, but alarm bells will certainly be ringing. Arsenal sit in sixth position in the Premier League, four points adrift of a Champions League spot, and have lacked the necessary firepower up front at times this season. They also face a stern test against Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the Champions League in February, but Wenger as ever is keeping his cards close to his chest about any possible transfer deals being wrapped up in the coming days. |
