Moyes: Van Gaal anafaa apewe muda

Meneja wa zamani wa Manchester United David Moyes amesema klabu hiyo inafaa kumpa muda zaidi kocha wa sasa Louis van Gaal.

Timu hiyo kufanya vyema kwa kucheza michezo minane bila ushindi huku wakitolewa kwenye michuano Ligi ya Klabu Bingwa Ulaya.

Klabu hiyo pia imeshindwa kukaa katika nafasi nne za juu ligini.

"Nina imani wataendelea kushirikiana naye, anastahili kupata muda zaidi. Amewanunua wachezaji nyota na kwa kuzingatia niliyoyaona kule Uhispania, itachukua muda kwa wachezaji hawa kutoka nje kuzoea mchezo Uingereza. Kwa hivyo, nafikiri wanafaa kukwama naye," alisema meneja huyo wa zamani wa Man United.

Moyes amesema bodi ya Manchester United kawaida huwaunga mkono mameneja na anatumaini wataendelea kumuunga mkono.

• David Moyes afutwa kazi Real Sociedad

Kwenye mahojiano na kipindi cha Clare Balding ya BT Sport, Moyes amesema wasimamizi wa Manchester United hawawezi kutaka klabu hiyo iwe ya kubadilisha badilisha mameneja ovyo ovyo.

Van Gaal alichukua mikoba ya ukufunzi kutoka David Moyes Mei 2014 baada ya Moyes kutimuliwa baada ya klabu hiyo kufanya vibaya katika ligi kuu Uingereza na michuano ya bara Ulaya.

Moyes alikuwa ameongoza klabu hiyo kwa miezi 10 pekee baada ya kumrithi meneja wa muda mrefu Sir Alex Ferguson.

Baada ya kuondoka Old Trafford, Moyes alipewa kazi ya umeneja katika klabu ya Real Sociedad ya Uhispania lakini akafutwa kazi Novemba mwaka huu baada ya klabu hiyo kutofanya vyema.

Fifa kumwokoa Niyonzima

Dar es Salaam. Sakata la kuvunjwa kwa mkataba wa kiungo Haruna Niyonzima na klabu yake, Yanga limechukua sura mpya baada ya kuelezwa kuwa kwa mujibu wa kanuni za Shirikisho la Soka la Kimataifa (Fifa), mchezaji huyo anaruhusiwa kujiunga na timu yoyote na kuendelea kuitumikia kipindi hiki licha ya dirisha la usajili kufungwa.

Yanga juzi ilitangaza kuachana na Niyonzima kwa madai ya kukiuka mkataba wake, ikiwa zimepita siku 13 baada ya usajili wa dirisha dogo kufungwa. Aliyewahi kuwa Mkurugenzi wa Mashindano wa Shirikisho la Soka Tanzania (TFF), Saad Kawemba akifafanua sakata hilo alisema, Niyonzima ana haki ya kusajiliwa na klabu yoyote ya Ligi Kuu kipindi hiki na akaendelea kucheza kulingana na kanuni za Fifa.

“Mkataba unaweza kuvunjwa wakati wowote inategemea na masharti yaliyomo kwenye mkataba huo, katika soka kwa suala la Niyonzima, huyo ni mchezaji huru, hivyo kanuni za Fifa zinamruhusu kusajiliwa na klabu yoyote na akacheza hata kama dirisha la usajili limeshafungwa.

“Lakini, kwa hapa kwetu tunashindwa kufanya hivyo kutokana na weledi wa viongozi wetu na ikitokea inaweza kusababisha vurugu katika soka letu, lakini ili kuepusha hayo ni vyema kuheshimu mkataba na vipindi vya usajili,” alisema Kawemba.

Cristiano Ronaldo compares himself to GOD after arrogance jibes: "I'm made to be the best"

The Portugal captain splits opinion with many but claims the negative opinions of others don't keep him awake at night

Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed he was "made to be the best" and believes his vast success is partly down to his vanity and arrogance.

The Real Madrid and Portugal star splits opinion with general football fans as well as a minority of supporters of his own club.

He was jeered by sections of the Bernabeu during the Spanish club's 3-1 win over Real Sociedad, despite netting twice in the victory.

And the 30-year-old believes some people don't warm to him simply because they're jealous of his achievements.

"There are people out there who hate me and who say I'm arrogant, vain and whatever. That's all part of my success. I am made to be the best," Ronaldo told Mundo Deportivo.

"We cannot live being obsessed with what other people think about us. It's impossible to live like that. Not even God managed to please the entire world.

"I have a clear conscience. I sleep well. I feel good helping others, regardless of whether that's with big things or small things. I look at life differently ever since I became a father.

"I can deal with the pressure because of the difficult life I have had. The person I am now is the result of the time I spent without my family and because of the difficult times I went through.

"I was ironing my own clothes when I was 11 years old. My mental strength goes back to those days.

"If this is what I am, if everything I've achieved in football has been for this, I couldn't possibly ask for anything else. If you offer me an improvement, I'd accept it, but change is very complicated."

Earlier this week, Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes revealed he expects Ronaldo to retire at Real Madrid, dealing a blow to potential suitors Manchester United and PSG.

Jose Mourinho wants to manage England if Roy Hodgson steps down after Euro 2016

Mourinho told close confidant and agent Jorge Mendes he would manage England if the opportunity arises next summer

Jose Mourinho wants to manage England after the 2016 Euro’s if Roy Hodgson steps down.

Mourinho has been linked with taking over at Manchester United and returning to Real Madrid since being sacked by Chelsea ten days ago just seven months after winning the Premier league title at Stamford Bridge.

But he’s told close confidant and agent Jorge Mendes he would manage England if the opportunity arises next summer and he’s still out of work, writes Steve Bates in the Sunday People.

Ideally the 52-year-old Portuguese coach would like to stay in club management and with Louis van Gaal under pressure at Old Trafford that would be his preferred destination if United ditch the Duthcman.

But Mourinho has already declared he intends to stay living in England with wife Matilde and two children at their London home. And as recently as September he claimed that when he left Chelsea managing England would be high on his wish list of dream managerial jobs.

For now, the FA remain right behind Hodgson and believe the 68-year-old is the right man to lead them in the Euro 2016 Finals in France next summer despite a disastrous 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

But many England fans believe Mourinho is better equipped to develop a system to get the best out of stars like skipper Wayne Rooney and up and coming young guns like Harry Kane, Ross Barkley, Raheem Sterling and 19-year-old Spurs newcomer Dele Alli against the top teams in the world.

England’s emerging talent is seen by many nations as having the potential to win a trophy – and Mourinho believes that too.

That’s why he’s serious about managing the Three Lions and would jump at the chance to lead them to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

That outcome depends solely on how well or badly England fare under Hodgson in France next summer with senior figures at the FA feeling the squad is capable of reaching the quarter finals after drawing Wales, Slovakia and Russia.

Hodgson’s current England deal runs out after Euro 2016 but so far the FA, wary that Hodgson will be almost 71 when the World Cup begins in Russia, have made no moves to extend his contract.

That’s left the door open for Mourinho - as well as British candidates like Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew, Sunderland’s Sam Allardyce and former Kop chief Brendan Rodgers.

Hodgson has hinted he’d like to stay on if England sparkle in France – but it’s by no means certain he will.

“If we’re going to discuss any extension to my contract, which actually runs out in the summer, I’d have to sit down and talk quite seriously to the FA and find out exactly what they have in mind," said Hodgson recently,

“Most important of all, I’d want to know that I was welcome. One of the things which has always bothered me is that you can outstay your welcome at places and sometimes it’s better not to do that.

“However, having said that, I have got to also say that it is a really exciting time at the moment, especially with so many young players.

“We have spent quite a lot of time with these players and we really do believe they have great potential, so when the day comes for me to turn my back on it I will miss them, that’s for sure.”

That moment could be after England’s involvement in the Euro’s is over next summer. And, if he’s still free, Mourinho will want the job.

Niyonzima asema hana furaha

KIUNGO mshambuliaji wa Yanga, Haruna Niyonzima amesema hana furaha kuwa nje ya Yanga na kuwataka mashabiki kuwa wavumilivu kwani suala lake linatarajiwa kupatiwa ufumbuzi hivi karibuni baada ya kuwasilisha maelezo yake kwa uongozi.

Akizungumza na gazeti la Habari leo juzi,  Niyonzima alisema Yanga ni timu yake na ameishi nayo vizuri pamoja na watu wake hivyo anaamini tofauti zao zitamazilika na kurejea kuitumikia.

“Yanga ni timu yangu na nimeishi nayo vizuri pamoja na watu wake, lakini sina furaha kwani nimekaa nje kwa muda usiojulikana lakini haya yote ni majaribu na najua ni vitu ambavyo vipo duniani ila naamini yataisha vizuri tu,” alisema.

“Mimi ni binadamu naweza kufanya makosa lakini nawahakikishia wapenzi wa Yanga na wa Niyonzima kwamba hili litaisha siku si nyingi na wataendelea kupata burudani kama ilivyokuwa na zaidi”.

Pia aliwatakia heri Yanga kwenye mchezo wa leo na heri ya Krismasi na Mwaka Mpya 2016 na kuwataka wamalize mwaka 2015 kwa amani. Niyonzima amesimamishwa kwa muda usiojulikana na uongozi wa Yanga kutokana na kuchelewa kurudi kujiunga na timu hiyo baada ya kumalizika kwa mashindano ya Chalenji iliyofanyika Ethiopia ambapo yeye alikuwa akiitumikia timu yake ya taifa ya Rwanda.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger rips into ref and insists: “We were unlucky with the first three goals"

Wenger believes that the Gunners should have been given decisions in the build-up to the first three goals as his side lost 4-0 on the south coast

Arsene Wenger lashed out at Southampton’s physical approach and blamed the referee after the Gunners ended up as stuffed as the festive bird.

But Wenger should look at how his players collapsed under pressure from a vibrant, hungry Saints side in this shock at St Mary’s.

Wenger was devastated after his side’s title charge was ­spectacularly derailed on the south coast.

He moaned: “Southampton made the game very physical and we lost too many challenges. That’s why we lost.

“We were unlucky with the first three goals.

“The decisions were all against us, but what can I do about it?

“Shane Long made the game very physical, he got away with too much.”

A brace by Long and goals by Cuco Martina and Jose Fonte gave a previously out-of-sorts Southampton side a superb victory.

Delighted Ronald Koeman praised his players and hit back at Wenger. The Southampton coach said: “Sometimes it’s very difficult to explain why ­something happens.

“It was not about the referee tonight. If you lose 4-0, you can’t talk about the referee.

“It was all about confidence in the team. In the second half we were perfect.

“The game plan was perfect. Shane Long and Saido Mane created a lot of problems. Well done to the boys. Long was very good. He was one of the players who created problems with his movement.”

If the Gunners are to end their painful 12-year wait to be crowned champions, these are really the sort of matches they need to win.

With their rivals taking it in turns to implode, Arsenal were beginning to believe this would be their year.

Heading into this fixture, they had a great chance to leapfrog Leicester into top spot.

But the omens looked bad once Martina opened the scoring with a fantastic strike.

When Ryan Bertrand’s curling cross was half-cleared by Per Mertesacker, there looked to be nothing on for the ex-Twente defender.

He was 30 yards out and the home crowd jokingly urged him to shoot.

The Curaçao international duly unleashed a magnificent strike with the outside of his right boot which curled past Petr Cech to give Koeman’s side a deserved lead.

Just before the end of the first half, Saints almost increased their lead. Mane put Long through but the striker, in for the injured Graziano Pelle, lifted the ball over Cech – and high over the bar.

Long made amends for that miss when he slotted the ball home in the 55th minute.

The Irish forward played a great one-two with Mane before side-footing in from 10 yards.

Wenger was furious – as were his players – because Laurent Koscielny appeared to be fouled by Long.

But it was his own defenders who were on the receiving end of the Frenchman’s moaning when the third Saints goal sailed in.

Bertrand’s corner found skipper Jose Fonte totally unmarked, and the Portuguese defender calmly nodded in.

In the last few minutes, the woodwork denied Long when he slid a side-foot finish past Cech but against the post. Yet the former Hull hitman scored his second goal of a memorable evening in the dying seconds when he broke through to rifle home and complete a disastrous night for the Gunners.

Southampton have had a ­rollercoaster year. Twelve months ago, they were fifth in the league, two points clear of Arsenal. After a dire run the gap is now 15 points.

But it is the Saints who end the year on a high after this sensational victory.

Fonte said: “It was imperative that we had a reaction and we showed passion and ­togetherness to change the bad run we were on.

“The plan before the game was to be ourselves – a hard-working team, quality up front and defending well as a unit.

“We showed we are still a very good team and from now it gives us good confidence to go on a good run.”

LVG : Naweza kuondoka mwenyewe Man United

Kocha wa Manchester United Louis van Gaal amesema kuwa anaweza "kujiuzulu mwenyewe" baada ya Stoke City kuwapiga magoli 2-0 katika kichapo chao cha nne mfululizo katika michuano yote.

Mholanzi huyo, ambaye anakabiliwa na shinikizo baada ya kusajili mechi saba sasa bila ushindi, aliulizwa katika mahojiano na waandishi wa habari baada ya mechi iwapo ''anahofia kibarua chake kitaota nyasi ?''

Van Gaal, 64, alijibu kuwa hjilo lilikuwa jambo analostahili kujibu katika mazungumzo na mkurugenzi wa klabu hiyo Ed Woodward na si vyombo vya habari.

"Si siku zote ambapo ni klabu ndiyo inauwezo wa kufurusha kocha la ''

"Wakati mwingine mimi mwenyewe naweza kuchukua jukumu hilo mwenywe na kuhusiana na hilo sharti niende nifanye mkutano na mamlaka inayosimamia Manchester United safu yangu ya ukufunzi na kisha wachezaji wangu wala sio waandishi wa habari'' alifoka van Gaal.

Van Gaal, aliyechukua nafasi ya David Moyes katika msimu wa 2014, alisema klabu hiyo alimuunga mkono siku zote ila aliongeza: "Tumepoteza hivyo kuna hali mpya.

"Nahisi msaada wa wachezaji wangu na bodi yangu.

Hata hivyo mashabiki wataudhika lakini hiyo inatarajiwa baada ya kushindwa mara nne .

" Van Gaal hafikiri ni muhimu kwamba Woodward haja muunga mkono hadharani .

"Kwangu mimi ni muhimu zaidi kwamba watu wanasema nini kuhusu utendaji kazi wangu " alisema. "Mimi sina haja sana na matamshi ya umma."

Real Madrid ponder snatching Jose Mourinho from Manchester United as Louis van Gaal clings to job

• Spanish giants split on taking Special One back to Bernabeu as United dither

REAL MADRID are considering making a late big to snatch Jose Mourinho from the clutches of Manchester United.

The Spanish giants fear being left with no managerial options to replace Rafa Benitez if Mourinho succeeds Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford.

Real president Florentino Perez has sounded out his board to see whether they would welcome taking the Special One back to the Bernabeu.

And though officials are split, Perez fears being left short of a replacment if the club finally decide to sack under—pressure Benitez.

United have lined up Mourinho to take charge when they put Van Gaal out of his misery, and they have received assurances he would be willing to accept their offer.

But with a shortage of top class managers around, Real fear being backed into a corner if the don’t act swiftly to get someone in place to take over from Benitez.

The former Liverpool boss is under increasing pressure in Spain, with talk of player unrest at his tactics and team selection.

The supporters turned on him when they went 2-1 down against Rayo Vallecano, and there was a still a feeling of resentment among them even though Real went on to win trhe game 10-2.

Cristiano Ronaldo is understood to have been fuming at the whistling from the stands during the game, and that he got abuse himself after trying to remonstrate with them.

Perez and other Madrid officials are aware Benitez is not popular among the rank and file, and though he publicly backed his manager last week there are suggestions he could be axed by the end of the month.

The views of Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos are hugely important at the club, and both have been left unimpressed by some of the decisions Benitez has taken.

The pair didn’t want Carlo Ancelotti to leave at the end of last season, and they were both disappointed to see him snapped up by Bayern Munich this week.

With Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, Pep Guardiola Manchester City—bound and Diego Simeone a non-stater because he manages city rivals Atletico, Mounrinho is the only recognised world class manager open to Real.

Zinedine Zidane is the club’s youth team coach but it is thought he needs another season or two in charge of B-team Castilla before he is really ready to assume such a challenging role.

Yet Ronaldo and Ramos would both need convincing themselves that Mourinho is the right fit for Real, as they each had their own problems with the Portuguese in his previous three yeat stay at the club.

Perez is confident he can iron out those differences and would be willing to go out on a limb to try to tempt Mourinho back.

If the Spaniards do make a move, it would increase the pressure on United to make a decision of their own.

They have been reluctant to swing the axe on Van Gaal but are aware they cannot allow the alarming slump in form to continue much longer.

And they also know, like Real, that if they wait too long they could be looking around desperately trying to find a coach with the right credentials to take charge.
