"Strootman injury further worries Roma fans"

Poor lad! I must say, as the 24 year old Dutch midfielder already missed the 2014 World Cup due to a crucial ligament injury which he suffered last year in the month of the march and now after having a nightmare seven month injury he came back only to have another injury at the same joint.He faced the injury during the match going on with Fiorentina which ended up in a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Kevin was playing only his sixth match for Roma because of that long time injury when he aggravated his injury further and was substituted at the 34th minute causing a big worry to the Roma fans.The long time target of Manchester United will probably go another surgery on the knees as the club officials reported.The club statement was that "Yesterday Kevin underwent further diagnostic procedures operated by professors Van Dijk and Kerkhoffs who have already helped him in the seven months rehabilitation period.The procedures has shown a mass of fibrous tissue known as cyclops syndrome and was advised to be removed immediately.So,Strootman will undergo the arthroscopic operation tomorrow in Amsterdam where the ligament will be assessed properly.

Though confirmed by the Roma officials as its a major issues but its a different story from the coach Rudi Garcia who have refused to talk about the injury and have played down the issue.

Strootman in action against Fiorentina

Then later this day all the doubt was cleared by none other than the player himself.Kevin Strootman tweeted from his official account that "I know that there's lot of speculation going on in the media about me so i want to clear the issues and explain to the Roma fans that while playing the match against Fiorentina i got knocked off due to which i had some bruises on my left knee.I am expecting to rest for two weeks within which i will a be operated so as to remove some scar tissues which have bothered me a bit after the past surgery and this will be helping me further to be playing better and getting back my old form.Its nothing serious and i will be back on the pitch as soon as possible".

Well,we all wish you to be getting well soon and come back and help Roma excel further Italian in Serie A.Currently Roma is in the 2nd position in the table just 7 points below the league leaders Juventus.

"Three solution to Manchester United's problem"

Manchester united are currently facing a deep crisis of maintaining their position in the top four of the premier league. Though the club from time to time have got criticized for their poor line of defense yet miraculously they have the 3rd most successful defensive record currently in premier league by conceding only 21 goals. The starting of the 2015 has not been so easy either for united nor for manager Louis Van Gaal. Manchester United’s last big win was over their bitter rivals Liverpool in which they smashed a 3-0 win but then it was built largely over the brilliant performance of Goalkeeper David De Gea.With time passing by Manchester United should try to find out the mistakes that they are doing and they rectify them within the time.

Three Biggest Change Manchester United should bring!

1.Rafael should be played more frequently.

Yes, the Brazilian right back has made only 6 appearances for Manchester United this season partly because of injuries and mostly because of the fact that Van Gaal prefers Antonio Valencia more on defensive line than Rafael. Don't know what the Dutchman thinks when he plays Valencia on the defense as in the last seventeen games the columbine have been able to produce only two assists and no goals.So,if Van Gaal really want to make an impact he should keep Rafael as an first priority option and should make use of him as much as he has makes out of Ashley young and Marouane Fellaini. Rafael.Rafael is a very talented player and if given frequent chances will surely live upto the expectations.

2.A ball playing centre back will be good buy for United.

As we know that Van Gaal generally prefers to combat from the back and generally build up play from the centre back area whether it is a three line formation or four line formation Van Gaal doesn't change his game-plan at any cost. But the problem right now is that Van Gaal gives a huge number of possession to centre back Phil jones who is not very good when comes in playing the ball. In that case United should really focus on buying a center back who have a good capability to show some skills with the ball moreover can control the ball for few seconds.

3.Hector Herrera would be a good option

With the recent performance of Michael Carrick,questions has been raised in Manchester United’s mid-field area,also as the players have terribly failed to mark and make good passes in the recent games. When recently a rumor spreaded about Yohan Cabayae’s move to Manchester United which have been mocked all over the social media, it is only that kind of players that Manchester united need. Though they have Ander Herrera but Van Gaal is not curiously reluctant to play the Spaniard more often as the problem is more broader which will not be solved just by giving the Spaniard more games. So, in that case united should definitely go for a player who can make tackles, gives excellent passes and more importantly organize the game,and all these things currently matches the DNA of Hector Herrera.

So,if Manchester United really want to make an impact in this year’s Premier league table or want to reach the FA Cup final they should definitely look after these three options otherwise it will very difficult for them to continue the run of being in the top four of the premier league.

"Ronaldo and Messi would not have been in the same level in my days: Luis Figo"

Nobody can deny the fact that before Cristiano Ronaldo,Luis Figo was the man of Portugal. The 42 year old has played over 249 matches for FC Barcelona and most surprisingly almost the same amount of matches for Real Madrid too(239) matches. But recently when he was interviewed Figo had a different view about the current best two players in the world Ronaldo and Messi.

What Figo said?

Former Portugal captain when asked about fellow country mate Cristiano Ronaldo and nemesis Lionel Messi he told that admits that currently these two players are at another level from rest of the players in the world but believes that the case would not have been the same if they had played during the timeperiod of 1990-2000.He clearly told “if i were a manager i would definitely have signed Cristiano or Messi at this moment but i too have played with some great and fantastic players both from my team and as opposition who i think were even better than Lionel Messi and Cristiano ronaldo.”

He also shared his views about who have the probable capacity to win champions league this year and said he hopes it will be either of Bayern,Barca,Real Madrid or Chelsea. The BallonD’or winner also said that he thinks in la Liga this year will be again dominate by two traditionally strong team of Spain i.e. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid above the reigning champions Atletico Madrid. 

Luis Figo had played a total of 577 matches scoring 93 goals and he also hold about 127 caps for Portugal with 32 goals. He also had many honorable awards including the Portuguese golden ball in 1994 world cup and BallonD’or in 2000 and surely was one of the best in his time but was he better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi?
