Real Madrid want 90m€ for Ramos!!

Real Madrid have slapped a €90m (£64m) price tag on Manchester United target Sergio Ramos, according to reports in Spain.

Ramos held clear the air talks with Madrid officials on Wednesday, which led to the 29-year-old asking the club to consider offers for him.

United had a €50m (£35m) bid for the defender turned down yesterday, with ASreporting that the Red Devils are willing to meet Madrid in the middle with a revised offer of €70m (£49.7m).

Ramos, who has become disillusioned with life at the Bernabeu due to the club's reluctance to offer him an improved contract, is understood to be considering a switch to Manchester.

A move to Old Trafford would see Ramos almost double his current £4m per annum salary at Madrid, with United readying a £7.8m-a-year package for the World Cup winning Spanish defender.

Bayern appoint Dortmund doctor!

The Bavarians have signed a number of their rival's players in recent years and have now raided their medical department

Bayern Munich have announced the appointment of Borussia Dortmund doctor Andreas Schlumberger.

The Bundesliga champions have signed several Dortmund players in recent years, with Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski moving to the Allianz Arena in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

Bayern have now turned their attention to Dortmund's medical department after their previous doctor - Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt - quit in April.

He ended his 38-year association with the club after claiming he was blamed for the club's Champions League defeat to Porto - an allegation later denied by coach Pep Guardiola.

Defender Dante came off injured during the game, prompting an angry reaction from Guardiola, who appeared to sarcastically applaud his medical staff amid a serious injury crisis.

A statement on Bayern's website from the club's deputy chairman Karl Hopfner on Thursday read: "We are delighted to have gained Dr Schlumberger, a proven expert for our team.

"He will be responsible for the field of rehabilitation and prevention from July 1."

Liverpool and Manchester City on alert as Spain winger Pedro 'weighs up Barcelona future

Barcelona winger Pedro is reportedly considering his future at the club - despite only signing a contract extension at the Nou Camp earlier this month.

The Spaniard signed a deal to keep him in Catalonia until 2019, but is understood byMundo Deportivo to have had a change of heart.

Pedro's first-team opportunities were limited last season due to the success of Barca's attacking trio of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi.

With that situation unlikely to change, the 27-year-old has grown concerned about his place in the Spain squad ahead of next summer's European Championships.

Liverpool and Manchester City are among the club's interested in Pedro, with PSG and Inter Milan also monitoring his situation at the Nou Camp.

Pedro would prefer a move to the Premier League, which would appear to give Liverpool and City the edge in their pursuit of the forward.

In 318 appearances since his Blaugrana debut in 2008, Pedro has had a direct involvement in more than one goal every two games for the club, netting 98 times and racking up 63 assists.

Sergio Ramos to Manchester United?

10 things that will happen if the Real Madrid man heads to Old Trafford.

A few weeks ago, anyone claiming Manchester United were about to sign Sergio Ramos would have been laughed out of the building.

However, as speculation continues and rumours suggest the Spain centre-back has asked to leave Real Madrid, some United fans are starting to get very excited.

After all, who would you rather have at centre-back: a Champions League, European Championship and World Cup–winning defender… or Maidstone United's Chris Smalling?

In preparation for the unthinkable, we've looked through the Row Zed archives and calculated exactly what will happen if Ramos does move to Old Trafford…

1. Diego Costa will start licking his lips

2. Red cards - lots of them

3. He won't be in defence for very long

4. He'll be regularly popping down to London to see his mate Mesut

5. His goal celebrations will be excellent

6. He might be a bit bashful in his first few days of training

7. He will be banned from going anywhere near the trophy cabinet

8. He should immediately be put on free-kick duty

9. Injury rehab at United's Carrington base will become a lot more fun

10. And of course, Man United fans will generally get very excited about their team's title chances

Tevez is returning to Boca Juniors !

The Argentine side's general secretary has all but confirmed the striker is on his way back to the club he started his professional career with

Juventus striker Carlos Tevez is set to return to Boca Juniors, according to the Argentine club's general secretary.

The 31-year-old has been heavily linked with a return to the club at which he started his career, having already told Juventus of his desire to move this summer.

Tevez was a crucial part of the Juve side that won Serie A and the Coppa Italia, and also reached the Champions League final, which was lost 3-1 to Barcelona.

Though he is tied to the Bianconeri until June 2016, the Italian side have already signed Mario Mandzukic from Atletico Madrid this summer and Cesar Martucci has revealed that Tevez's move is all but confirmed.

"We are very happy," he told AM 1050. "After much work we can secure the return of Carlos Tevez.

"We hope that with Carlos' return, we can achieve the results that Boca fans are expecting. Unlike many players who returned to the club, he comes at full capacity."

Tevez scored 20 goals in 32 league appearances for the Serie A champions in 2014-15, adding seven more in the Champions League.

Barcelona reportedly interested in Manchester United winger Angel Di Mariad

Barcelona are lining up an audacious swoop for Manchester United's Angel Di Maria, according to reports in Spain.

Spanish publication Sport claims the Blaugrana are aiming to strengthen their treble-winning squad with the addition of the former Real Madrid man.

Talks over a potential switch are at a very early stage, with Barcelona yet to contact United directly about their proposed interest.

Di Maria moved to United for an English record fee of £59.7m last summer, but endured a disappointing season despite a promising start to his career at Old Trafford.

Official: Liverpool sign Roberto Firmino

The Brazil international moves to Anfield for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of €40 million, with the future of fellow attacker Raheem Sterling uncertain.

OFFICIAL: Juventus sign Mario Mandzukic for €19 million!

Serie A champions Juventus have completed the signing of striker Mario Mandzukic from Atletico Madrid

 for a fee of €19 million.

Mandzukic, 29, only joined Atletico from Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in July 2014 and went on to score 20 goals in all competitions for the Spanish club last season.

The former Wolfsburg man shunned interest from the Premier League club to put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the beaten Champions League finalists.

Robinho & Willian show there's life after Neymar

Can Brazil cope without Neymar? That was the question on everybody’s lips ahead of Friday’s Copa America Group C crunch encounter with Venezuela.

With the Barcelona man in their ranks, the Selecao were among the favourites to win the tournament. Without him, Dunga’s side found themselves fearing premature elimination. Yet Sunday’s match at the Monumental in Santiago proved that there is life after Neymar.

Dunga somewhat surprisingly opted to include Robinho in his starting XI, with Willian, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino completing his attacking contingent, and the former AC Milan man showed that he is still a force to be reckoned with on his day.

The 31-year-old dazzled right from the start and was Brazil’s undisputed star player in the opening 45 minutes. He created a fine chance for Coutinho after just eight minutes, but the Liverpool man’s poor finishing denied him an assist. He did provide a goal shortly after, though, with Thiago Silva volleying home his pinpoint corner. 

He not only hugely contributed to Brazil’s resurgence but took his team by the hand wherever he was needed on the pitch.

He was always available, hardly lost possession and his composure and calmness on the ball helped his team-mates settle. He was taken off for Marquinhos toward the end of the second half to a standing ovation from the Brazilian fans.

EXCLUSIVE: Andrea Pirlo will leave Juventus to join this team!

The 36-year-old midfielder is set to join former England international Frank Lampard and Spain's all-time record goalscorer, David Villa, at Yankee Stadium.https://www.facebook.com/pages/World-Football-_-Monde-de-Football/1434008783582044

Juventus playmaker Andrea Pirlo will seal a switch to New York City FC on Friday.

The Italy international still has a year to run on his contract with the Bianconeri and had previously claimed that he would only consider leaving Turin if Massimiliano Allegri's men lifted the Champions League earlier this month.

However, despite Juve's 2-1 loss to Barcelona in Berlin, the uncertainty surrounding the midfielder's future has only intensified in recent weeks and, on Saturday, the 36-year-old attended a New York Yankees baseball game at Yankee Stadium.

Principes du jeu

Le football met aux prises deux équipes de onze joueurs sur un terrain rectangulaire de 90 à 120 mètres de long sur 45 à 90 mètres de large. Pour les matches internationaux, les dimensions du terrain sont ramenées entre 100 à 110 mètres de long pour 64 à 75 mètres de large. L'objectif est de faire pénétrer un ballonsphérique de 68 à 70 cm de circonférence pour un poids de 410 à 450 grammes dans un but long de 7,32 m sur 2,44 m de hauteur. Le but est considéré marqué quand le ballon a entièrement franchi la ligne de but tracée au sol entre les deux poteaux.^{[réf. souhaitée]}

La règle du hors-jeu force les attaquants à ne pas se contenter d'attendre des ballons derrière la défense. Pour qu'un joueur soit en jeu, il faut qu'il soit devant le dernier défenseur. L'arbitre assistant signale avec un drapeau le hors-jeu qui se juge au départ de la balle, c'est-à-dire au moment où le passeur effectue sa passe, et pas à l'arrivée du ballon dans les pieds de l'attaquant.Le seul joueur autorisé à utiliser ses mains est le gardien de but dans sa surface de réparation. Dans cette même surface, une faute habituellement sanctionnée par un coup franc direct, l'est par un coup de pied de réparation (penalty). Ce dernier s'exécute sur un point situé à 11 mètres de la ligne de but. Outre les fautes de mains, les autres fautes concernent essentiellement les comportements antisportifs et les contacts entre les joueurs. Le tacle est autorisé, mais réglementé. Un tacle par derrière est ainsi sanctionné d'un carton rouge synonyme d'expulsion. En cas de faute moins grave, un carton jaune peut être donné par l'arbitre au joueur fautif. Si ce joueur écope d'un second carton jaune au cours d'une même partie, il est expulsé.^{[réf. souhaitée]}

Le match dure 90 minutes en deux mi-temps de 45 minutes entrecoupées d'une pause d'un quart d'heure. Lors de certains matches de coupe devant désigner un vainqueur ou un qualifié (on peut se qualifier en matches aller-retour sans nécessairement remporter le match retour), une prolongation de deux fois quinze minutes est disputée. Au terme de cette période, en cas d'égalité, les tirs au but départagent les deux formations.

généralités

Le football /futbol/ (dans la langue orale, par apocope, le foot), ou soccer /sɔkœːʀ/ (en Amérique du Nord) est un sport collectif opposant deux équipes de onze joueurs dans un stade, que ce soit sur un terrain gazonné ou sur un plancher. L'objectif de chaque formation est de mettre un ballon sphérique dans le butadverse, sans utiliser les bras, et de le faire plus souvent que l'autre équipe.

Codifié par les Britanniques à la fin du xix^e siècle, le football s'est doté en 1904 d'une fédération internationale, la FIFA. Pratiqué en 2006 par environ 264 millions de joueurs à travers le monde, le football possède le statut de sport numéro un dans la majorité des pays. Certains continents, comme l'Afrique, l'Amérique du Sud et l'Europe, sont même presque entièrement dominés par cette discipline. La simplicité du jeu et le peu de moyens nécessaires à sa pratique expliquent en partie ce succès.

Le calendrier est dominé par deux types d'épreuves : celles concernant les clubs et celles des équipes nationales. La Coupe du monde est l'épreuve internationale la plus prestigieuse. Elle a lieu tous les quatre ans depuis 1930 (sauf entre 1938 et 1950). Pour les clubs, championnats nationaux et autres coupes sont au programme des compétitions.

En compétition de clubs, la Ligue des champions de l'UEFA, disputée en Europe mais qui possède des équivalents sur les autres continents, est le trophée le plus convoité de ce sport, malgré la mise en place récente d'une Coupe du monde des clubs, encore à la recherche de prestige.https://www.facebook.com/pages/World-Football-_-Monde-de-Football/1434008783582044
