Sol, calor, humedad, todos daba para un partido en el que el primer equipo que se cansaba primero o no pegaba de una perdía. Por suerte el que vino sin ganas fue Tigre, el conjunto de Cagna que perece que no tiene mas ganas de jugar este campenato.
Por suerte el Grana fue efectivo y en el primer tiempo liquidó el partido para tranquilidad de los que rezábamos que Tigre no gane un partido justo contra nosotros. Click to continue reading...

Un par de consideraciones porque al día de hoy sigo bastante caliente:
1) El DT agotó mi crédito, se acabó. No puede hacer un cambio tan cagon, sacar a Blanco y meter a Pelletieri (el cambio era por Ledesma), una clara muestra de que se conformó con el puntito ante uno de los peores equipos del campeonato. Click to continue reading...

Lanús 1 - Banfield 2

No me pidan mesura porque no la voy a tener, no soy periodista deportivo, soy un hincha que escribe una columna y punto, así que no tengo porqué ser mesurado.

Lanús perdió el clásico y lo peor de todo no es eso sino que lo perdió bien, porque los pingüinos nos ganaron bien, con sus armas (esperar atrás siempre y salir de contra, cortar con faltas todo el tiempo, simular y quedarse a vivir en el piso) pero justificadas.

Argentina, desmembrada y mal contagiada, parece tomar una ruta sin curvas. La desesperación y el momento aciago se tragan al equipo y a todas sus individualidades cuando no hay tiempo para reformulaciones.
A los 7 minutos la primera pelota en el palo. A los 23 la segunda en el travesaño. Click to continue reading...

Pandev e la Lazio sono ormai ai ferri corti. Il rapporto con la società , e soprattutto con il suo numero uno, Claudio Lotito, è ampiamente deteriorato e il giocatore è sempre più lontano dalla Lazio e dalla Capitale. Il giocatore rischia, inoltre, di perdere un anno, se i fatti dovessero continuare ad essere quelli attuali. Click to continue reading...

Pedro Rodríguez Ledesma today signed an improved contract with FC Barcelona that secures his inclusion with the senior squad until 2014. The release clause of the contract has also been raised now to 75 million euros.

Pedro came up under Pep Guardiola on the youth squad and last year got his first taste of the senior squad playing six league matches, four Champions League matches and three in the cup.

Galaxy 0 Barcelona 1

That didn't take long - and looked painfully familiar

Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders failed to hold Ledesma's initial 11th minute shot from just inside the box, the ball fell to Lionel Messi who saw another shot cleared off the line, but Ledesma again picked up the rebound to score.

Per quanto riguarda i risultati di calcio, in quest'estate ricca di gustosi antipasti che precedono come sempre gli impegni ufficiali, la Lazio travolge per 10 a 0 i dilettanti dell'Auronzo di Cadore ed inizia, così, i primi test amichevoli per migliorare la condizione fisica e la tenuta atletica, ma soprattutto per ritrovare l'amalgama giusta per ripartire in campionato verso grandi soddisfazioni.

Se Ledesma va in ritiro, ma probabilmente non farà parte del progetto Lazio, il neotecnico dei biancocelesti Ballardini potrà invece contare pienamente sul 29enne brasiliano Matuzalem.
E' di oggi la notizia del riscatto definitivo, da parte di Lotito, del centrocampista dagli spagnoli del Saragozza: "Sono felicissimo di essere rimasto, era quello che volevo''. Click to continue reading...

Sembra sfumata, nonostante le voci positive della giornata, la trattativa per portare D'Agostino dall'Udinese alla Juventus. L'incontro di oggi tra gli emissari delle due società , che avrebbe dovuto accelerare il passaggio, si è chiuso con un nulla di fatto. I club ne parleranno ancora, ma c'è il rischio che altre squadre - a cominciare dal Milan - possano farsi sotto.

Delio Rossi, Pandev, e ora Christian Ledesma. La Lazio perde un altro pezzo. Il centrocampista argentino (dal 2006 alla Lazio, 97 gare disputate e sette reti segnate) è l'altro aquilotto a lasciare la capitale per tuffarsi in una nuova avventura, magari con una big della Serie A (Juventus ?). Stamattina, a Formello, c'è stato l'incontro decisivo: il presidente biancoceleste Claudio Lotito e il procuratore dell'argentino Vincenzo D'Ippolito hanno parlato della situazione attuale del calciatore sudamericano, optando per l'interruzione consensuale del rapporto: "Ledesma nella prossima stagione non giocherà nella Lazio - ha spiegato D'Ippolito -.
