Wenger: Arsenal not in crisis

Where is the crisis?
It is that time of the year when your team's performances are being analysed. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal have had a stuttering campaign so far. Having said that, they are alive in all the 4 competitions. Despite being 10th in the League table and second in their Champions League group, the Gunners coach feels that there is no such thing as a 'crisis' situation at present.

In his pre match conference in Greece he stated, "You should look a little bit at the statistics and not only read the newspapers. I only have one pressure and that is to win the next football game and to play the football I love. All the rest, I don't think that affects me at all. You would be surprised..

Wenger, whose men take on a strong Olympiakos side tonight also added, ""Nothing really happened after Swansea. That the players are not happy after the game, do you want them to do a dance after we lost? This group of players is very strong, very highly motivated, has a very good spirit and they want to win. If they don't win, of course they are upset.
"I am more worried if I see players who laugh in the shower after a game that we lost. We are in a job where the next game is the only important thing, that is how you can show how good you are.
"The situation is at the moment we are behind in the league, we want to make ground back, we are qualified for 13 consecutive years in the Champions League, we are qualified in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup and we have our chances in the FA Cup like everyone else.
"We have many challenges and that is what we want to focus on."
To top their group, Arsenal will have to defeat the Greeks and hope that the French champions Montepellier get a result against Schalke.

Messi, it should be: Neymar
Neymar supports Messi

The Brazilian sensation has given his take as to who should be the FIFA World Player of the Year 2012.

Neymar said to Globoesporte"The winner will be Messi because he has had an extraordinary season. Ronaldo has had a great season too and so it will be close and exciting, but Messi should be the winner."

He also further commented regarding where his future lies.

"I still dream of coming to Europe, but the right moment has yet to arrive. I'm very happy here at Santos, close to my family and my friends. 

"I have no plans to move for the moment, but it's not because I'm content where I am. My objective is not to be the best in the world, but instead to be happy. Happiness comes first."


His contract with Santos expires in 2014.




Klopp: Hands of my Robert

Dortmund are the team everyone looks up to nowadays. Their hit man Lewandowski is the target of almost every team across Europe. Clinical, efficient and hard working, he is basically every manager's dream striker.And Sir Alex Ferguson is one of them. When he comes calling, it's definitely tough to ignore. 


Lewandowski to Manchester United ?

According to reports, a contract has been agreed between the two clubs for Lewandowski to play in United's colours from 2013. Although, Jurgen Klopp has been quick to deny it, there is no smoke without fire. Four strikers and counting at Old Trafford but who will say no to the goal machine called Robert Lewandowski.?
