Jose Mourinho made the “wrong” move when he chose to sign on for a second tour as Chelsea manager, Sir Alex Ferguson says.

After managing the Blues from 2004-2007, Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge in 2013 and won the Premier League title. But the honeymoon didn’t last and he was sacked last December following a poor start.

But he’s found a new home with Man United, where Ferguson became a legend over 26 years in charge at Old Trafford.....READ FULL STORY HERE--> http://soccerblitz.net/2016/12/18/jose-mourinho-made-the-wrong-choice-by-going-back-to-chelsea/

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid survived a scare to beat Japanese side Kashima Antlers in extra time and win the Club World Cup.

Real took the lead in the ninth minute through Karim Benzema, but Gaku Shibasaki scored either side of half-time to put Kashima in front.

Ronaldo levelled from the penalty spot on the hour mark after Lucas Vazquez was fouled by Shuto Yamamoto.


The Ballon d’Or winner then put his side ahead in extra time after being played through by Benzema, and completed his hat-trick seven minutes later.

Victory gave Real their second Club World Cup and extended their unbeaten run to 37 games in all competitions.

Liverpool had the chance to close gap on table toppers Chelsea on Saturday afternoon but threw away their chances, Jurgen Klopp’s side were 3-1 up in the 75th minute but all of a sudden fell to a 4-3 loss.

Seyi Daniels analyses on reasons why the Reds lost in this article.

Liverpool Brazilian midfield Maestro got injured in their last game against Sunderland and obviously his absence was felt in the midfield, perhaps if Coutinho was not injured the Reds would have snapped maximum points today.

You cannot win the league with a very low-class class back line, Unfortunately Joey Matip was injured and Lucas Leiva filled in for the defender, this was part of what haunted the Reds to conceding three goals in 18th minute, the highlight of this was the famous Karius howler. The shot stopper had a bad day but definitely Mignolet is also not good enough, Klopp needs some goal keeping work to do as soon as possible.

Ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher had this to say about Karius’ performance today in the tweet below:

Bournemouth fans will be enjoying the best of today winning their first premier league game on a sunday in 8 attempts. Liverpool are not in the European cup thereby playing fewer game yet they do not have a solid bench to fill in for injured players.

Klopp had to fill in three youngsters in the bench on sunday, Evie Ejaria, Ben Woodburn – who became Liverpool’s youngster scorer in midweek – and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

It is one of the most highly-anticipated games in the world of football.

And while today’s El Clasico between Real Madrid wasn’t exactly “a classic”, it ended in dramatic fashion.

Sergio Ramos, not for the first time, came to Real Madrid’s rescue to secure a precious point in the Nou Camp

Sergio Ramos bagged Real Madrid a precious point with a 90th minute equaliser after Luis Suarez had put hosts Barcelona into the lead in the 53rd minute.

Here are five things we learnt from the Spanish clash.

Real’s longest unbeaten run for 28 years

Eyebrows were raised when Zinedine Zidane was handed the job at Real Madrid.

Nobody was doubting his football knowledge or passion for the club, but having your first managerial position at a mega-club such as Madrid is the definition of pressure.

But now the Frenchman has overseen a run of 33 games without defeat in all competition. Zidance is now only one game away from tying with the longest run that was 34 in season 1988/89.

He has also passed Carlo Ancelotti‘s 32-game unbeaten record during his tenure at the Bernabeu.

Never put a winger to mark rival striker

Barca’s opener was scored by Luis Suarez, as he nodded home Neymar’s free-kick in the 53rd minute.

It was a fairly straightforward goal. But the question to ask is how he found the space in such a dangerous area.....See Full Story Here---> http://soccerblitz.net/2016/12/03/must-see-lessons-learnt-from-el-clasico/

Chelsea executed the perfect smash and grab raid to beat Manchester City 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium and win their eighth straight Premier League game.

Soccerblitz.net brings you our review as to why Manchester City lost hopelessly to Chelsea.

Chelsea moved too Freely in the midfield

Pep Guardiola made a mistake of his life not playing Yaya Toure as a starter that allowed N'Golo Kante to Co-ordinate the Midfield given freedom to Fabregas and co to move forward as suuport the attack, which was too much for City;s defence to hold.

Yaya Toure shgould have started that game, that wont allow kante to hold that midfeild and Fabrega and co wont have any support to give to the attack. that would have killed Chelsea's game plan totally.

Who the HELL is Bravo?

What is Pep Guardiola thinking throwing away Joe Hart for Claudio Bravo, the Chilean is no way in the league of the English man when it comes to goalkeeping.

he has always been a blunder for the citizens since his move from Barcelona and Hart has been a revelation for Torino.

Pep you better start thinking straight and #bringbackourhart!

The attack was Isolated

Well, that can be forgiven the Midfield has enough trouble to deal with that they can't support the attack often.

I mean they have a very strong and aggresive Chelsea attack to deal with.

MMM means Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox. It is masterminded by the former Russian politician Sergey Mavrodi, who went on the run when the original MMM collapsed in the late 1990s, losing investors an estimated $100m.

MMM’s website describes the scheme as a circular system where members ‘give help by transferring the money to each other directly’

MMM Global unashamedly advertises itself as a scheme whereby new members “assist” older members by paying a fee to join. Older members are allowed to withdraw money after a certain period of time, and receive bonuses for encouraging others to sign up.

SportingLife can confirm authoritatively today that the next Super Eagles
Technical Adviser will be a Serb coach with a rich resume known to the football
world, if the words from the Glasshouse in Abuja on Sunday are anything to take
seriously.
To underscore the seriousness that the NFF chiefs attach to the matter, SportingLife
can reveal that the body’s technical committee chairman, Chris Green will depart
the country this week to discuss with the three Serbian coaches on the list and
invite them for an intreview session to be conducted by one of Nigeria’s respected
coaches, whose pedigree in the industry has been appreciated in FIFA and CAF.
Indeed, a top member of the federation poured cold water on the stories making
the rounds in the international media platforms that Frenchman Paul Le Guen has
been paid $50,000 to become the new Super Eagles manager.
A decent source at the Glasshouse revealed that the body doesn’t have that kind of
cash to pay any foreign manager at the moment, insisting that the interim coach,
Salisu Yusuf would be allowed to handle the team while Flying Egales chief coach,
Emmanuel Amuneke would work as his assistant. Alloy Agu will keep his position as
the team’s goalkeeper trainer.

Coach Amodu Shuaibu’s cousin who was with him throughout Friday, Ankari
Afegbua, a lawyer said he believed his brother may have died out of frustration as
he was owed by Edo state government and the Nigeria Football Federation.
“Apart from that pain he said he had on his chest, he was okay only for us to wake
him up this morning to do the normal fasting and he was met dead.
“I think he died out of frustration because his financial status was not okay. He was
complaining of not being paid and he was having difficulties to maintain himself and
his immediate family. I think the purpose of his being in Benin was to put
up a bill for his payment. He is being owed by NFF and the Edo state government.
“While talking yesterday, he was talking about how a Muslim should live his or her
life and how he should be buried. He is a true Muslim. He believed in Islamic faith
and that is why we said we will not leave him in the mortuary because by Islamic
faith, you are not expected to be embalmed or be put in the mortuary” he stated.
Shuaibu was later laid to rest in his home town Okpella according to Islamic rites.
He is survived by his aged mother, a wife and eight children.

death or sympathise with his family members.
Otherwise Stephen Okechukwu Keshi would have asked his family to prepare ready a
tankful of hot water to be turned on Nigeria Football Federation representatives
whenever they pay condolence visit.
Besides, the ‘Big Boss’ also would have flogged mercilessly some of these
shameless people. Ben Alaiya in his Column called them “insane.” Here, they came
and claimed Keshi is ‘Super hero.’ Uhm!
Quite unfortunate that people talked much about the death of his wife, linking it to
the source of Keshi’s heart problem. Perhaps some aware that he lost his wife to
cancer long ago before her eventual death. You will recall that prior to the death of
his wife Keshi offered great and fruitful services to his fatherland without allowing
the battle confronting his wife to affect his desire for success.
