CHINESE SOCCER BETWEEN MOCKERY AND DREAMS OF GREATNESS

Left behind by Japan and South Korea, the Chinese soccer is looking for a second wind. With the aim of building a competitive national team and so decently - one day - the FIFA World Cup. Without causing the usual mockery of a public disillusioned by his players.

In mid-March, the Chinese government announced the adoption of an ambitious plan to make the national football a continental reference or even global if more affinity. The principle? Develop football at a young age, so in schools in order to attract as many young people, more professional training and make the local league - Super League - more competitive than all its neighbors. Ultimately, the idea is to have an ambitious men's team and able to shine in the World Cup. This growing sports power is the sine qua non condition to fulfill the dream of one day President Xi Jinping: organize the great mass of world football in the Middle Kingdom.
"Smoking can ruin your health, but looking to play the Chinese national team can ruin your life"

Except that this time, the Chinese number one, as fans of football in the country, has not necessarily been a lot of joy to their teeth with his national team participating in the 2002 World Cup, two Cup finals Asia (1984, 2004) and two titles in Cup East Asia (2005, 2010), when Japan invoice five trips to the World Cup and four continental titles. Sad for Chinese football fans, strikeouts and scandals of the national team have been commonplace over the last two decades. When the football clubs was weighed down by corruption, international, they were public mockery of the target after their sporting exploits in chess or brothels revealed by the press.
By reaching the quarterfinals of the last Asian Cup, with three wins in chickens and an honorable defeat against eventual winners Australia, Alain Perrin - China coach for a year - has at least ensured to avoid valves for some time. Like those that followed the collapse of the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese saw out the tail between the legs from the group stage. The reactions of the users? The most fun in the blogosphere conjured "a performance comparable to the ground in a tragic eunuch in a brothel," when the official song of the Olympiad, Beijing Welcomes You had turned into "Come to play with us, our goal posts are wide and always ouvert "(come play with us, our goals are broad and always open).
The comparison with the eunuchs is not necessarily about, Chinese paparazzi who immortalized the image several players from the national team with prostitutes during the Olympiad ... As for the diversion of Beijing Olympic anthem, it has more or less continued to illustrate the level of a team able to fall lower and lower: in June 2013, under the direction of the prestigious José Camacho, the national team seemed to reach a point of no return after a defeat home friendly against Thailand, 5-1. Thailand, supposed to be a much smaller nation than China ... resulted in a riot outside the hotel early players in Hefei, in a review of 100 injured. Hence, at the time, the now famous phrase of a surfer on a forum: "Smoking can ruin your health, but looking to play the Chinese national team can ruin your life."

Competitive in 15 to 20 years?
For Troussier, current coach of Hangzhou Greentown, these critics of the Chinese public in the national team reflects primarily a ras-le-bol vis-à-vis the local football leaders: "One would think the disenchantment is linked to results, but for me it's more a lack of love from the way of making the Federation, and by extension the Chinese government. " For the former Japan coach, there is "a gap between the expectations of the public and the media with what offer executives, especially men in place are not necessarily those who deserve it." One way to remember that two successive presidents of the Federation ended in jail for corruption - with many leaders of clubs, referees and players - in the post-Olympics anti-corruption campaign. For Chinese International, hard to shine when the whole system is seized by arrangements between friends, and must also endure a difficult comparison with Japanese and South Korean neighbors, good students of the Far Eastern football.
"The players do not have the level, because they are not trained enough and thus armed," said Troussier. The reason is societal he said, because "it does not exist in China a daily spontaneous and popular practice. The players are from wealthy families, as to the structured football, we must have the financial means. This gives players - if we add to this the effect of the one-child policy - which have often been over-protected and not subject to the responsibilities ... "In 2008, China has proved that it had known s' appropriating most Olympic sports, with the exception of the most prestigious, such as athletics - despite a gold medal in the 110m hurdles at the Athens Games in 2004 with Liu Xiang - the basketball and especially soccer. But "the President Xi Jinping has set the tone with this government plan that will empower football, including training and incorporate the practice in schools." Except that the results do not arrive immediately, so the prospect of a World Cup on Chinese soil will emerge in a fairly distant future. "15-20 years" understands Troussier. In the meantime, the national team will have to round back. Or bite the bullet to avoid being parodied.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - THE TOP PLAYERS WHO ARE NOT HERE TO BE LOVED

Diego Costa did talk to him face PSG by his behavior. Vicious customary limits or exasperating behavior, there are other players used to annoy the close. Here is a top of the players who are not there to be appreciated.

Pepe (Real Madrid)

Rough tackles to limit aggressive interventions that leave traces: Portuguese Real Madrid plays hard, but a little too regularly exceeds the limits. Solid defender, he rarely done in lace. When a game becomes tense, he always knows to add some. Known for his misdeeds, he rarely misses an opportunity to talk about him. And built most of his legend during Clasicos under the Mourinho era. Soft matches where he waited muscle debate. It has never disappointed in that direction.

Thiago Motta (PSG)

A quick position to stop an action, a sole to calm the ardor of an opponent, insults at every turn: Thiago Motta has quickly made a reputation on the grounds. L1 has learned to discover it and hate it. Brandao, that has dealt a blow to the head of Italian, has not supported and going bonkers on contact.

Diego Costa (Cheslea)

His match against PSG has brought to light. Unbearable from beginning to end, the Spanish striker was noted for his chest side. Against PSG, he accumulated small strokes, limits actions and protests. Spain and the Premier League, we know what to expect. For Diego Costa likes the fight and did not hide it. And has already illustrated with beautiful soles. An excess of commitment, he said. The kind of striker that advocates hate cross. David Luiz Marquinhos not say otherwise ... In Brazil, his choice to represent Roja also earned him a good rating of love.

Sergio Busquets (Barcelona)

In a Barça team where artists are legion, Sergio Busquets brings a different key. Technique, scraper tireless ball, it is essential in the heart of Barcelona's game. But if his opponents do not appreciate it, it is for his vicious side: Catalan has a small tendency to simulate, to exaggerate when he takes a shot. Small ...

John Terry (Chelsea)

A Chelsea is a legend. But that's about the only place where John Terry must be assessed in the Kingdom. His "business" have tarnished its image. Between his racist remarks towards Anton Ferdinand or his history of sleeping around with the wife of Wayne Bridge, Terry has continued to bring happiness to the press at the British scandal. And be hated.

Joey Barton (QPR)

In a poll of British site Askmen end of 2013, Joey Barton saw his name come out ahead. What was the question? "How would you like football to slap?" It must have been displeasing the England midfielder spent by OM, which is an outstanding provocative. If Gervinho and Abou Diaby have fond memories of meetings with him or his supported tackles, Barton is not a child's heart. He was suspected of racist particularly towards Gabriel Agbonlahor, Aston Villa striker. And it's a real bad boy, which is always looking to push his opponent to the fault and love when tempers flare. He did not so "afraid" to put an ad ... behind. Vice, it knows it.

Luis Suarez (FC Barcelona)

He gives everything on the field. But too often forgets to control. Uruguayan striker is a striker genius, the kind of player we love to have on his team. But not against you. For large provocative, it accumulates dirty tricks. His feats of arms and not limited to its goals: simulation, hand goal hair pulling, that for the most "cute" ... For the worse, he was sentenced by the English Federation for racist comments towards Patrice Evra and took the surprising habit of biting his opponents.

Mario Balotelli (Liverpool)

"Me Compare Ibra is a compliment for him!" That's the kind of output that Mario Balotelli has accustomed us. Arrogant! The term stuck with the attacker. The Italian keeps talking while going to and get noticed with extra-sports stories, swings concentrations or immature behavior. The problem is that the Italian striker did not really meet expectations on the lawns. Despite its huge potential, it is not up to his antics or his self-esteem.

Brandao

A little nudge here and there, an evil tackle mastered by one: Brandao made about him since his arrival in L1 for his love of fighting and rough style. The Brazilian striker has not much to ... the typical Brazilian striker when he is on a lawn. But hanging over the defenses. It has a long history. He was suspended from August 23 until February 22 following his headbutt on PSG midfielder Thiago Motta.

Florian Thauvin (Marseille)

He quickly put the dot the i's starting to clash with Lille for Marseille. The football has been an idea about the character. His way of behaving at OM has only added to the water mill of his "haters." It annoyed by his nonchalance. This impression that nothing regarding the exasperating. And do not just friends, even among his teammates that he does not hesitate to insult. Dimitri Payet could testify ...

CHELSEA - PSG ENGLAND STILL THINK (some) THAT DAVID LUIZ IS A SCAM

In Paris, everyone loves, especially journalists, seized with wonder when a football player deign to speak to them in the mixed zone, in addition with a smile. For a little, we would kiss him recognition feet. His teammates also say only good, and his coach is downright love. "It is nice and accommodating to everyone, this is someone who has a zest for life quite communicative. And professionally, I think it is going up in power. It was taken to give us the defensive strength in major events, it continues like this. "

"Zouma cost ten times less and is ten times better"
So many compliments that would giggle while Buckingham if we were able to translate them in decent English. Because just imagine that in London, David Luiz is primarily a matter of joke. It is even rumored that Jose Mourinho curled apoplexy when he learned that PSG was ready to get rid of for 50 million euros last summer. "A similar sum to replenish the hinge that took 7-1 in the semifinals of the World Cup, it's true that you had good," laughs Andrew, the potbellied quarantine, John Terry jersey on the back . "Especially we bought Zouma to ten times less and that is ten times better." Fan Zouma or not, the former Stéphanois represents to local observers all that is missing in Brazilian defender: serious, vision and tactical discipline.

In England, where Churchill yet everything done to develop canine love of his countrymen in his Rufus strolling around, we never adopted the mad dog style of David Luiz. Certainly, the young man has a tendency sometimes to snort like a spaniel through puberty, oblivious instruction and everything else. "It looks like a PlayStation player controlled by a boy of ten in the crowd" has launched one day Gary Neville, now consultant. Since then, the joke stuck with the Parisian despite its leading role in the conquest of the Champions League in 2012. "Here, we like to make fun of the most expensive defender in the world, writes Barney Ronay in the Guardian. The way he runs with the ball, like a carnival horse crudely disguised. The way he regularly produces a mega-blunder when his brain stops functioning and becomes a defensive calamity. "
"If Mourinho let him go is that it is not crazy"
"If it is a centerpiece of his team, Mourinho will not let him go this summer. He is not crazy, adds Edouard Cissé, consultant for Canal +. He thought about his thing, he saw he could find as well for the balance of his team even though it may be inherently less strong. "In fact, when he does not put on a Cahill to support the unfading John Terry, the Portuguese manager chooses Kurt Zouma, "the new Marcel Desailly," while Matic covers (small) follies of each other in midfield where David Luiz was evolving year by default. Chelsea will he really gained by the change? Barney Ronay is not convinced.

"The majority opinion in England is that the strengths of Chelsea Mourinho -the organization inculcated by the discipline- each roughly equivalent weaknesses of David Luiz. But the reverse is also true. The things David Luiz can do -the generosity, optimism, the desire to attaquer- can highlight some weaknesses of Mourinho. "As the tactical calculation, the natural inclination to do the least possible attack and reprehensible wait in the knockout matches. This is great, that's all it takes to avoid Wednesday.

REAL BECAME VERY AFRAID (Real - Schalke 3-4)

Real Madrid qualified for the quarterfinals of the Champions League despite losing (3-4) against Schalke 04 on Tuesday night at the Bernabeu. The Germans led the score three times and delivered a very attractive game, but two goals from Ronaldo and Benzema goal deprived them of an immense feat ...

Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid will play the quarterfinals of the Champions League. But it's Schalke 04 who made quite an impression at the Bernabeu on Tuesday night, in the eighth-final (3-4) in a game in unbridled unexpected scenario. Di Matteo's men manhandled the Merengue and he missed their one goal to succeed the unthinkable. 

Schalke hurt Real Ronaldo eve 
Against all odds, the Germans took the game to their account early in the game, with great technical precision that allowed them to develop great offensive which quickly brought the danger in the Madrid area. Winners in the first leg (0-2), the people of Madrid had obviously taken their opponent a little high, with a lack of aggressiveness and passivity that quickly annoyed fans. 
The sanction has finally arrived. A center Barnetta Fuchs glared Casillas closely (20th 0-1). A well deserved advantage for Schalke, Ronaldo equalized shortly after the header from a corner (25th, 1-1). A happy scoring for Real, as the formation of Gelsenkirchen dominated the first act. Despite this, Di Matteo's men have not given up and Huntelaar (who had hit the bar seconds before) restored their advantage (40th, 1-2) Big sensation at the Bernabeu! But once again, Ronaldo was saving the appearances of the head (45th, 2-2)

Benzema gives a smile to Real but Schalke insist 

After the break, Benzema thought permanently seal the fate of the tie after good work in the surface (53, 3-2). But a superb curling shot Sane left again cast doubt (57th, 3-3)! Unbelievable ... In a match where the attacks took much sway over defenses, Madrid failed to master them face specific Germans brilliant offensively ... 

Schalke close of happiness, the people of Madrid booed out
And regained the lead with a shot under the bar Huntelaar (85th)! Schalke incredible, and that's all Bernabeu trembling! For another goal eliminated Real! Unfortunately for teammates Huntelaar, this goal did not come and that's troops Ancelotti - strongly whistled at the final whistle - who will play the quarterfinals. 

Note the match: 9/10 
A nearly a goal, the match was almost history! A great tribute to Schalke 04, who played a magnificent score and made enormous suffering a very friable Real defensively. The show was at the rendezvous with twists, suspense, opportunities shovel and seven goals!

VAN PERSIE & FALCAO, PURPOSE TO DEATH

Football, for it as unjust, like flying careers and explode in flight. The scorer, yet judged on performance, that is to say, its goals, is the number one victim. Today at Manchester United, as well as Radamel Falcao Robin van Persie suffer differently, the expectations placed on them. Have they become too strong too fast? Or are they simply the victims of a completely unfair game?

The timing of the striker is the well-known concept that measures the ability of a number 9 to arrive at the right time on the ball, or ensure that the ball is timely on him, we do not know too much. But behind it is another. Not another striker, but another timing, which takes more time, waits years and break careers. This one, he looks at the ground with the vision of a number 10 and breaks all Nos 9 one by one, sooner or later. This timing is one of success and failure.
How many great front-centers can claim to have never known period of doubt? The object has its secrets, and few men managed to never fall while trying to discover them. The greatest of all, Ronaldo, even almost never recover. The relationship between life and purpose Luis Suárez is coming off the first months "complicated" in Barcelona. On his eleven seasons played in the colors of Milan, Pippo Inzaghi has seen in five to more than 10 league goals. Yet if there is one that must have understood everything, it was him ... Even Andrey Shevchenko has experienced nightmares misfire repeatedly. Didier Drogba has been slow to unfold, while Dwight Yorke quickly disappeared. Karim Benzema has rubbed many demons. Finally, the fate of Fernando Torres could become a textbook case of the great scorers in spiritual struggle with the cruelty of their tool.Manchester United, play and goals
Early in the season, all English pubs repeated that Manchester United had committed the sin of buying too many attackers. In the cold and prestige of the training center of the Red Devils, Louis van Gaal could actually count on his friend Robin van Persie, the star Radamel Falcao, Captain Wayne Rooney and even Ángel Di María. Today, the accumulation of scorers did not overdose goals, far from it. The authoritarian coach does not hesitate to point out: "It's true. Van Persie can not deny it, Falcao can not deny it, and Rooney does not play much anymore. At the moment, we lack a striker able to plant twenty goals. " Van Persie and Falcao would be so incapable? The problem would be the scorers? Listening to Van Gaal, Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao should be at the height of Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa in the scoring charts, with 17 goals each. This discussion raises two issues.
On one hand, Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa primarily benefit the game of their respective teams, which may not be attackers from Manchester United. But that Van Gaal knows it. On the other hand, which are really Van Persie and Falcao today? In Manchester, the arrival of Robin van Persie has coincided with the best period of his career. This transfer in 2012, was a highway of happiness, the last stroke of genius of Sir Alex Ferguson. After goleador season to 30 goals for Arsenal, Van Persie coming to Manchester and scored 26 to offer last title at Old Trafford. Pressure resistance, masterpieces, incarnation of the cynic of a married club to victory all seemed writing. But around this time almost unreal, who dared to read the story? Between 2005 and 2009, Van Persie, Emmanuel Adebayor brings less to Arsenal 34 goals with a ratio of 0.38 goals per game, 46 goals against and 0.44 for the Togolese. Moreover, in 2009, Van Persie is 26 and comes out of the most complete season with only 11 goals. After two seasons accomplished for the Gunners between 2010 and 2012, Van Persie sign in Manchester, and then down to earth after 2013: 12 goals in 21 games last season, 10 in 23 this season. His destiny, from the beginning, is that of an albatross: the man with infinite arms have had a difficult take-off, a short but majestic flight and a quick dip. But if Van Gaal expected to find a surefire Ruud van Nistelrooy (6 seasons with over 30 goals), he was fooled by the deceptive timing of the career of Van Persie.Falcao dropped from the
The fate of Falcao is turned in the other direction. At 26, the Colombian was already on another planet and seemed to have a few years ahead. From 2009 to 2013, El Tigre out four consecutive seasons with over 34 goals scored. Four Seasons boosted by two extraordinary European campaigns, he no longer knows since. Subsequently, it is a long journey that saw the Colombian martyr: swung to Monaco and Manchester United in planned projects and canceled at the last minute, the Colombian is lost: 11 goals in 19 games last year, 4 in 16 games this season. In football, only the striker can take such dimension and fall in such a short time. A defender or a medium always depend too much of the game. The scorer, he can take shortcuts. Like a secret garden, the goal fascinating. And when someone manages to walk there, the crowd seems to require that the canonized immediately. Santo subito, the Italians say.
Falcao is a scorer down full golden age, as was before him Fernando Torres. Injuries and misguided transfers fell at the wrong time, as if, after dozens of small well negotiated mountains turns, donkey crossed surgically, both drivers had experienced mechanical problems on the highway, in full line. While it should be at the top, it is not even the holder and seems to have no support. That fateful moment of a career, to 28-29 years is the time when Van Persie has finally managed to hold a full season and demonstrate its true value, at the right club. Unfair timing history. Like Torres, do Falcao was too much too fast? Would they have preferred to wait 28-29 years to sign the seasons of their lives, and in the process one last lucrative contract on the table and eternal gratitude on a plate?The goal phenomenon offside
On all the lawns of the world, the story continues. At West Ham season Diafra Sakho is another example of the vagaries of the goal. After planting 7 times in his first nine appearances, the center forward has scored only three times in 11 games thereafter. In three months, so it's gone from being phenomenon fearless than scorer in trouble. In Argentina, Gustavo Bou is the leading center of Racing in a style similar to that of Djibril Cisse. Renowned for its technical limits, the player is still planted two consecutive triplets in the Copa Libertadores, and may soon make a small tour in Europe, so that no one expected. A case of ketchup, say Van Nistelrooy? Finally, the truth may lie in the nature of the game Football is naturally inclined to shine shots. The middle 90 minutes of intensity and lost duels, one can solve a sharp game. And some heartfelt sharp can even build a career. Undecided, punctual, inconstant, arrhythmic, football will always have to grow very fast players, before breaking them immediately. The scorers are those who benefit the most, but also the only that can die.

TREATY "hypocrite," DESCHAMPS RESPOND TO NASRI

SCAN THE SPORT - Guest on RMC, the coach of the Blues did not fail to send a small picnic in the middle of tricolor field.
Samir Nasri and Didier Deschamps will not go on holiday together. Rest assured, it was not expected.

He did not want to discuss. This does not stop me from taking it in August, September, October and November. "One answer to what the Citizen who suggested that the coach had not contacted him to discuss his situation in selection.

Launched in argument, Deschamps wished to recall the rules of life he erected at each meeting of the Blues. "By selecting, I talk with my players and I tell them what I expect of them. On the field and off. I had the opportunity to say to Samir. He did not want to hear, or do what I said ... Me I was waiting and he did not meet my expectations in sport. "
And their relationship, DD appears very clear, without giving too much away either so you do not deliver what is happening behind the scenes of the France team: "I wanted to call him, he refused. I took after to discuss. By modifying, intervening. It's a combination of things ... His performances were not up to what I expected. Today it seems happier without the France team. The France team continues its life as rather good "
And when Samir Nasri believes Didier Deschamps is a "hypocrite", world champion 98 replies coldly: "If a person is an example of a franchise sincerity tells me something, I wonder..."

TOP 10 OF THE TRICKS PLAYED FOR FRENCH CLUBS BY MOURINHO

Otherwise, the eighth final in 2015 could take place in this ranking ...

For fans of AS Monaco, Jose Mourinho awakens bad memories. Portuguese is a bird of ill omen synonymous with pain. A dream breaker.

It was not counting on the flair and the malice of Mourinho. Portuguese launches the Senegalese striker in battle in the 67th minute, everyone knows the future. Demba Ba crucify Paris, Jose Mourinho out of his seat like a bullet and gratifies Stamford Bridge in a frantic race to celebrate the winning goal with his players. Quite a show.

3. Real-Lyon 3-0 / Eighth-final C1 2011

His last years, OL was somewhat become the bane of Real Madrid. In 2010, in the fourth round, the band at the same Lloris had to deprive the people of Madrid a potential final at the Bernabeu. But the following year, the arrival of Jose Mourinho changes everything. The reunion at the same stage of the competition, a turning point. After holding the shock at Gerland (1-1), Claude Puel's men collapsed in Madrid (3-0) and appeared to light years of Lyon able to reverse the past Galactic.

But the White House Mourinho version is made of a different cement. Marcelo (37th), Benzema (66th) and Di Maria (76th), came to remind the Cree Lovren hinge. This time, the Gones were not miracles. Mourinho, he sends the Real in the quarterfinals for the first time in six years. Only Barca eventual winners of the competition will stop in the semifinals.

4. Porto - Lyon 2-0 / Quarterfinal go C1 2004

Before crossing the road to Monaco in the final of the 2004 Champions League, FC Porto of Jose Mourinho had challenged another French club during his European tour, Olympique Lyonnais in the quarter finals. As ASM, OL bites the dust, blamed a leg where Gones crack at decisive moments (2-0). The return is hung (2-2), but the purpose remains the same: FC Porto is too strong and too tactically solid in all areas to be disturbed. All European clubs this year, break the teeth facing the team that nobody expected physical and mental level.

5. Real - Lyon 4-0 / hen Phase 2011-2012

October 18, 2011, the two teams meet for the ninth time in six years. But with Mourinho at the helm, Real Madrid confirmed that he finally buried his Lyons complex.

Lloris is input strafed and eventually losing to the former home of Karim Benzema (19th). But the worst is to come.

The kickoff of the second period is given for only two minutes when Sami Khedira drives the point (47). In the process, Lloris pushes a shot of Özil into his own goal (55th) and Sergio Ramos concludes the Madrid demonstration (4-0). Olympique Lyonnais, he restarts from Madrid with the worst defeat in its history in the Champions League.

6. PSG-Chelsea 0-3 / 1 C1 tower 2004-2005

September 14, 2004: the day that Didier Drogba has paid the Parc des Princes. All freshly transferred to Chelsea after an outstanding season in Marseille, the Ivorian striker does not miss the opportunity to shine against PSG. No. 11 Blues, sparkling, brand twice in the landslide victory of Londoners in Paris (0-3) and can not resist the temptation of chambering the public capital club screaming "Go OM! go OM! "after his two goals. A provocation that had marked the spirits. For his first European match in charge of the Blues, Jose Mourinho could not ask for more.

7. OM-Porto 2-3 / 1st round C1 2003-2004

At its first victory in the Champions League during the 2003-2004 season, Jose Mourinho swept Monaco in the final quarter in Lyon and Marseille in the group stage. Evidence that Jose Mourinho already loved tricolor clubs at the time. Late after two days of C1, the Portuguese were relaunched against Marseille by winning two fairly easy success (3-2 and 1-0). Superior in all areas of the game, Porto had trapped the players from Alain Perrin against thanks to goals from Maniche, Derlei and Alenitchev Velodrome (3-2) before it again a week later in Portugal (1-0 ). Clicks to Porto and José Mourinho who would become, a few months later, the kings of Europe.

8. Porto - Lens 3-0 / 16th final first leg UEFA Cup in 2003

The first confrontation with a French club. And already a success for one who was not yet the "Special One". Returned to the Champions League, Lens falls on FC Porto in the third round of the UEFA Cup. At the Estadio das Antas, November 28, 2002, Blood and Gold are in a difficult evening and Guillaume Warmuz fetches three times the ball in his nets (Helder Postiga 36th, Derlei 45th, 87th Jankauskas).
Fifteen days later, the RCL takes revenge Bollaert with Rigobert Song (1-0) for what will remain the only victory for a French club face Mourinho to that of the PSG last year (3-1 in quarter-final of the Champions League). But the Yankee club is eliminated. And Mourinho was already of Mourinho. "I keep an unpleasant memory recalls for us Joël Müller, the lensois coach at the time. In the pre-match conference, he argued that we said that this game was going to be easy for us. It is not my style, nor the Lens ".

9. Real-Auxerre 4-0 / 1st round C1 2010-2011

If he had made the show during the visit of Real Auxerre in September 2010 (1-0 victory for Madrid) stating that he was "delighted to come to Guy Roux" at the Abbe-Deschamps, Jose Mourinho had not done so at the Santiago Bernabeu and a half months later. Thanks to a hat-trick and a goal from Benzema Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid had fun in currying AJA (4-0). The Portuguese coach was even used the meeting to launch some young players from the Spanish training center (Adan, Mateos, Morata, Sarabia). A walkover for Real already qualified for the knockout stages before finding the Auxerrois. Mercilessly.

10. OL-Real 0-2 / 1st round C1 2011-2012

November 2, 2011, OL has not digested the slap received two weeks earlier at the Bernabeu (4-0, see elsewhere). It was hoped a reaction of pride. It did not happen. At Gerland, Gones suffer again the law of ... Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo. Scored twice, Portuguese signs his 99th and 100th goals in the jersey of Real Madrid. And Lyon suffered his first defeat at home for three years in the group stage of the Champions League.

But the Merengue were simply unplayable. "The logic of the balance of power was respected", can also see that Remi Garde. Real queue round. Lyon, he is cornered.

SOCCER AND 4-3-3: AFRICAN DICTATORS

A certain Alexandre Pedro, journalist in an European sport magazine has decided to publish this soccer team. we really don't know what was his target but after being confuse, we have decided to publish it. We are not making politic, but to equilibrate everything we shall also publish for Europeans and  American who have been done by the viewers in their website.
Unfortunately Africa is a continent where the heads of state like to cling to power. Re-elected in the first round (or not elected at all), these men play personal, individual liberties and confiscate tackle the opposition. Okay, the referee is a cousin.

Muammar Gaddafi (Libya): Early Despot, the mere colonel discovered the intoxication of power in only 27 years. An avid camper, he also planted many tent opposite the Hotel Marigny in Paris and before the cages of his country. It remains for 41 years the guardian of the revolution, some longevity explained by his morning consumption of camel milk. He ended his career on an approximate release. 

Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo (Equatorial Guinea): Mbasogo changing for the second time in three years before his audience at this CAN. Not the most famous African potentates, he holds his right flank and his country since 1979. With his military training in Franco's Spain, it took the opposition in individual marking. Opta stats of his re-election speak for him (96.96%; 99%; 97.1%; 96.7%). 

Joseph-Désiré Mobutu (Zaire): Less gifted than his comrade Patrick Lumumba training, Mobutu offset by a sense of anticipation and great betrayal. If the leopard his cap discomfort to the head set, Mobutu itself as an undisputed leader. He even decided to change the name of his team (Congo became Zaire). Biggest salary of the team, his personal wealth is estimated at 6 billion euros. 

Idi Amin (Uganda): With its 1,90m and quintal, man has physical jobs. A hard stopper on the human right and that owes much to his military training. An admirer of the Scottish game, Amin loves going to contact, preferably when it comes to political opponents. Suspected by the Disciplinary Committee to lick his classmates, his case has not yet been decided. 

José Eduardo Dos Santos (Angola): Passed through a Soviet training center, the President of Angola occupies the left side, but never hesitate to go on his right foot. With oil wealth in his country, he leads a comfortable lifestyle. His daughter Isabella now manages his career and so what if she did not have his UN official license. 

Bedel Bokassa Jean (Central): too fast, too high, too early. President of the Central African Republic, Bokassa requires a revaluation. Became emperor of the environment in 1976, the rough diamond burns the wings in three years. Probably disrupted by frequent trips to Paris with his wife, he lost the confidence of his French coach, Valérie Giscard d'Estaing. Resentful, it will help him to lose a very important game in 1981. 

Omar Bongo (Gabon): Not the greatest dictators in size, Bongo knows that a career is judged over time.Never hurt or suspended, the Gabonese will be the sentinel of "Françafrique" for 41 years and six months.Crew appreciated by Paris, he gave way late in the game to his son Ali. 

Ben Ali (Tunisia): He took advantage of an injury of Habib Bourguiba incumbent to win a starting spot.After walking in the footsteps of its predecessor, it stands out later with a more physical style and a tendency to many retain power. Too much play in small spaces with his in-laws, it is pushed by a disgruntled public to a free loan return option in Saudi Arabia. 

Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe): Players enjoyed early career, since Mugabe disappoint. The team's veteran uses and abuses of torture never consider remonstrances of the international referee. His style, however fractious ensure a place holder since 1987. He refuses to play in white and with homosexual he calls"decapitating". 

Mswati III (Swaziland): Incumbent since his 18 years, "son of" blazes his career since. In June 2005, he posted twelve wives, fiancées both official and 24 children. It also has one of the most luxurious fleet Africa.Not always focused on his professional obligations, Mswati III is widely criticized for his performance against AIDS ravaging his country. He prefers request a budget increase to expand its palaces and accommodate all new brides. 

Ismail Omar Guelleh (Djibouti): Not the best known or the most spectacular of the team, but a president who is talking numbers. He released the perfect election in 2005 with 100% of the votes. And if Djibouti is not the most hyped team of the continent, its performance would have made some jealous. 

Substitutes: 

Hosni Mubarak (Egypt): Another victim of the Arab trademark transfer window of 2011. 

Charles Taylor (Liberia): The executioner Sierra Leone joined the club in The Hague in late career. And no one will complain. 

Blaise Compaoré (Burkina Faso): 21-year career and starting in October on the sly without even a jubilee. 


Pierre Nkurunziza (Burundi): Re-elected with 91% of the vote in 2011, it tends not to share the ball with his Tutsi partners.
