As to not looking like a troll

I found this Niece piece of Vidal (CHILE CHILE CHILE )

The rise of Arturo Vidal – The Bundesliga’s most complete player

Few would argue against a Player of the Season nomination as Vidal stormed his way through the Bundesliga. Most impressive was the maturation process he underwent. Whereas Vidal led the league in yellow cards the season before (14) this past year he collected only 5 in the league. It was an important step as a player and on field leader. Along with his impressive goal and assist tally Vidal also had a staggering 2810 touches on the ball in the league, more than influential players like Bastian Schweinsteiger and Nuri Sahin. He also completed an impressive 82% of his 1891 passes. Defensively speaking, Vidal won 56% of all his tackles, outperforming Sven Bender, arguably the league’s best pure defensive midfielder.

Gamba Osaka's Takashi Usami confirms he will join Bayern Munich on loan
The teenage attacking winger told the Japanese press on Monday morning that he will move to the German giants on loan, with an announcement from Gamba expected later in the day

Gamba Osaka's starlet Takashi Usami has announced this morning to the Japanese press that his move to Bayern Munich is official.

The two clubs have agreed on a loan, thus for the moment the 19-year-old Japan international will remain the property of the J-League club.

Usami's involvement in Sunday's 5-3 win over Sanfrecce Hiroshima may have been his last game for Gamba, although no official announcement was given nor the traditional "sayonara" ceremony after the match.

The player will talk about the details of the transfer at an official press conference on Monday evening.

Usami is a product of the Gamba Osaka youth system and has been playing with the top team since the age of 17.

During the 2011 J-League season, he has so far played in 11 games, scoring two goals.

In recent months he has been linked with several other big European clubs, including Inter and Manchester City.

Top 10 Managers of the Season #6: Jurgen Klopp

#6: Jurgen Klopp

If ever there was a “mad genius” (as Raphael Honigstein would call him ) , it had to be none other Jurgen Klopp. Youthful , Colorful, Multi-talented, humorous and yet a master tactician Klopp has every ingredients to be the next Footballing ‘off-pitch’ hero. Having completed a full journey from being a ‘versatile’ player to a football coach via a ‘Footy pundit’ and even going to the extent of owning his own Fashion collection , he has shown the world that he has it all that takes to be the real big deal. A breakaway icon last season with Borussia Dortmund, he is a coach who possesses the characteristics that some-what resembles a “Arsene Wenger meets Pep Guardiola” personality.


Just to give you a taste of this man’s unpredictability , Klopp started his playing career as a striker and by the time he completed it, he was a defender!! Drastic contrast eh?


The rise of the new star was however, not a sudden phenomenon as one would think. The signs were quite apparent when the ‘coach’ with the floppy hair-style took over the modest club of FSV Mainz 05 in 2000 and he eventually reaped better results once he got a comparatively better team to work with in form of Borussia Dortmund.

Behind the animated character at touchline whose actions would fluctuate with the varying rhythm of the play, Klopp possessed an ability of being a keen and shrewd reader of the game, even during his very early days. A quality that one would not always associate with a ‘loud’ character such as his. It is at-times rather fascinating to watch how Klopp manages to carry such contrasting characters hand in hand. Like a true humble man though, Klopp would never try to hide his so called ‘immature childish touchline acts’ by his superior qualities and is never shy of accepting this drawback-

“When I see footage of myself, it certainly doesn’t please me every time. But I’m not the guy for controlled behaviour on the touchline, I’m emotional and spontaneous.”

Early in his career he established Mainz in the top flight for the first time in the club’s history with his innovative concepts of thoroughly drilled, collective movement at high tempo football. And when in the summer of 2008 Borussia Dortmund came calling, Klopp faced a more stiff but a fresh challenge to look forward to. Borussia had finished a distant 13th the year before and it is needless to say things weren’t quite in the right place. However, Klopp had ideas of his own and soon managed to gain his first trophy – DFB Supercup (defeating champions Bayern Munich 2–1). In the very first season, Borussia finished 6th in the Bundesliga and the consistency was maintained as Klopp guided them to a 5th place finish the following year.

The biggest turning point though, came as recently as this season, as Klopp transformed a mid-table outfit into the Bundesliga champions, claiming the shield with few games to spare. A perfect testament for the man’s iron determination.

Klopp is an excellent motivator. A fact which is much more highlighted when you see how well he has brought about a magnificent response from his young group of players. And when it comes to identifying and nurturing the talents of his young prodigies, there could be no better than him.

Klopp motivated the young players around him to perform at the big stage!

While Dortmund owe him a lot for their success, Klopp was also ably helped by the club’s systematic and calculated progression over the past decade. Although not possessing an well-known youth system, Dortmund have been efficient in their scouting and recruitement of skilled young players. And like an able coach he identified their talents and strengths and groomed them to perform at the top-most level. Look at Shinji Kagawa for an example!!


Unlike many of the top coaches in Europe, Klopp is one rare species who would always be ready to tinker with his strategies and formations. Adapting to the need of the hour and not adamant on his own personal belief, flexibility is one of his big forte. For an instance if you look at the tactical analysis of a game against Mainz in the early part of November, you would realize his ability to resort to unusual formations that can often catch the opponent team a tad unready and confused.

Klopp employed an unusual 4-3-2-1 formation that he said the team had practiced for only 45 minutes. His players, though, were tactically sophisticated enough to deal with the change and, as he put it, “greedy” enough to fight Mainz’s pacey pressing game with even more pacey pressing. Dortmund won 2-0 to regain the top spot.


Klopp is like a breath of fresh air in German Football. Not only does he packs a punch with his footballing tactics, he doesn’t hesitate to chance his arms on the so called ‘unconventional methods’. To enhance player movements and skills, he effectively introduced “Life-Kinetik” on the exercises curriculum for the players. One that presumably had a positive affect on the team.

For the novices Life Kinetik is infact a successful exercise programme which helps to improve brain performance. Specific exercises increase blood circulation around the brain, form new connections between brain cells, which raises mental and physical performance.

One can only credit the man for his exceptional awareness of resorting to every possible methods to help his team’s cause.

BVB sent out sides with an average age of less than 25 in the Bundesliga this season , and a clutch of the young hopefuls made the breakthrough on the international stage. Left-back Marcel Schmelzer , inside forward Mario Gotze and ball-winning midfielder Sevn Bender earned first full caps for Germany, while centre-back Mats Hummels and wing man Kevin Grosskreutz (both 22) achieved the same just under a year ago. This is not only a massive thing to be proud of for Dortmund but also indicates how well the players were guided under Klopp at the club level. Certainly an added achievement in Klopp’s already glorious CV.

Klopp has the X-Factor in him. From claiming his club to be second only to Barcelona in playing an attractive brand of football to ensuring that none of his players except Nuri Sahin left the club in the transfer window, Klopp is a complete package of confidence and authority.

And as the famous Rig Veda quote goes “A person can achieve everything by being simple and humble” , Klopp very well stands true to the essence of the quote. When asked about his team’s success, Klopp like a humble man passed all the credit to the team saying-

“By reaching the Champions League and winning the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund has hit a target which we never honestly thought was realistic this season. I’m overjoyed for the club and obviously for my team, whose outstanding displays mean they’ve earned a place in Europe’s best competition”
At a young age of just 43, a golden age certainly beckons for him. With Bundesliga under his kitty now, Klopp has higher ambitions to look forward to. Anyone out there considering an Champions League triumph in the next 12 months or so, eh?

Dortmund want Bendtner
Representative claims German champions want to sign his son

Nicklas Bendtner's father and agent claims that Borussia Dortmund want to sign the Arsenal striker.

The Denmark international seems certain to join the apparent exodus at Emirates Stadium this summer after voicing his frustration at a regular role as a substitute.

Bendtner would unlikely be considered as great a loss as Cesc Fabregas, who is wanted by Barcelona, or Manchester City and Manchester United target Samir Nasri.

But Bundesliga champions Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Sporting Lisbon have all been linked with the striker in the wake of claims he is attracting interest from 'all the big leagues'.

Thomas Bendtner, who is his son's agent, told Sporten.dk: "There is an interest from several German clubs. I can confirm that Borussia Dortmund wish to buy.

"Unfortunately, I can't comment if there has been any negotiations between Dortmund and Nicklas, or Dortmund and Arsenal."

Borussia Dortmund sign talented youngster Oscar Gastecki
The German champions continue to strengthen for next season as yet another promising player arrives at the Signal Iduna Park.

Borussia Dortmund have secured the signature of Western Illinois University's Oscar Gastecki on a three-year contract after a successful trial with the club.

The 20-year-old versatile defender is likely to start for BVB's second team, but hopes to break into the first-team squad soon.

"I could not be happier. [It is] a dream come true," enthused the youngster in an interview with MLSsoccer.com.

"I am an aggressive player who also likes to [help start] the offensive play of his team."

Gastecki, who can also play as a midfielder, explained that he has started studying German so he can fully commit to his professional career in Germany.

Dortmund have been pretty busy in the transfer market, bringing in names like Ilkay Gundogan, Ivan Perisic and Moritz Leitner as they aim to defend the Bundesliga title next season.

Tranmere starlet off to Bayern
TRANMERE youngster Dale Jennings is set to leave the club — to join German giants Bayern Munich.

The 18-year-old striker only made his debut for Rovers at the start of last season.

And he has been granted permission to discuss personal terms with the Bundesliga outfit.

Tranmere manager Les Parry said: "Bayern have made us a very good offer for Dale and we don't want to stand in his way of making this incredible move.

"When a club with the size and history of Bayern come in for you it's the opportunity of a lifetime and I wish Dale all the best should the transfer happen.

"It also says a lot about the club's youth system that one of the giants of European football is interested in signing one of our players."

Jennings made 32 appearances for League One Rovers last season, scoring six goals.

So BM look likely to end their pursuit for Jerome Boateng as Man City keep up the hardball. Now, they could try for Vidal and Alex of Chelsea.

Please stop calling Bayern BM. I always think you meant Gladbach.

And yeah, Bayern are now heading for Alex. City are asking a lot for Boateng. Alex should cost around 10 mio.

Jupp said that Vidal told him that he only wants Bayern and they are prepared to wait a year for him when his contract ends and he can join on a bosman as Voeller is playing hardball for the moment.

Some news : Goetze has changed to number 11
Hello,
please excuse that I did not report as often. I vow to improve.
Degree'm on my way back to the hotel from the 6:1 victory against St. Gallen. The training camp is very stressful and hard. The new additions are good and we look forward to their first home game.
You too?
Your No. 11, Mario

City have agreed a transfer of Jerome Boateng with Bayern Munich. Fee is undisclosed, but according to German papers in the region of 13.5 mil Euro.


A statement on the Bayern website read: "The board of Bayern Munich and the board of Manchester City have reached an agreement for the transfer of Jerome Boateng.

"Boateng, who is currently with City in Los Angeles, is expected in Munich in the next few days for a medical.

"Then he will sign a contract up to June 2015.

"The clubs have agreed not to disclose the transfer fee."

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was delighted to have finally landed Boateng.

"There have been some intense negotiations and we have come a long way to reach a satisfactory conclusion," he said on the club's official website, www.fcb.de.

"With Jerome Boateng we have got our preferred candidate to play in central defence for Bayern Munich."

Bayern sporting director Christian Nerlinger added: "Jerome Boateng is a young Germany international who fits perfectly into the philosophy of Bayern. He was also wanted by our coach Jupp Heynckes."

Very good signing for Bayern. He was unlucky with injuries. Hopefully he will get to play in his preferred position..

Keep telling yourself that, Gotze will shit his shorts when he comes up against this defense:

Lahm...Badstuber...Boateng...Rafinha
.....................Neuer

Boateng is the perfect addition to that defense, towering beast with great athletic and technical abilities not to mention hes a good tackler. Neuer behind them is basically the title secured...

Regardless of Vidal, they still got Schweinst31ger and Luis Gustavo in front of the defense, more than enough.

Seriously though,I realize it will be tough ,purely because the departure of Sahin and Lewansh1tski still playing :fp:

Yesterday the rafting in training camp is down due to weather conditions. So we had time to regenerate and to use the spa landscapes (see pictures). This day was by far the quietest and most relaxed, because today we had another three units. But we want to achieve something in the season. Many greetings from Switzerland.

GREATEST EVER (thumbsup in pic :o)

I dont actually rate Badstuber as highly as the Germans do but hes got good enough technique and great potential.

However, Boateng i've seen him play for Hamburg many times and i can guarantee that he was born to lead a defense and also hes capable of being one of the best. I used to rate Kompany highly during his time at HSV and he turned out fantastic. A fit Boateng shits on most of the Bundesliga CBs, including the Dortmund duo.

Having Neuer in goal is kinda already a huge advantage for the league title, hes kept Schalke in the league and in the game more than any other players for the last two seasons.

This is not bias talking but its a fact, Sahin is gone and even though the defense is still there i think Dortmund will just fall short. Though they have Ivan Perisic [Ballack type player but faster and more versatile] who can take them places but its his first season there so wont take that for granted. Lets wait and see how it plays out.
