Khedira Announces Desire To Join Real Madrid

index Khedira Announces Desire To Join Real Madrid

Khedira Could Be On His Way Out Of The Bundesliga For Real Madrid.

Stuttgart and Germany midfielder Sami Khedira has today spoken of his dream to play for Spanish giants Real Madrid. After Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho announced his interest in the young midfielder, transfer speculation surrounding Khedira has been rife and rampant. Now, though, Khedira has come out and spoken of a potential move to the Bernabeu.

Of course, Im thinking about a transfer to Real Madrid. Theyve already confirmed that theyre interested in signing me . Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world and Jose Mourinho is one of the most successful managers out there. He has always fascinated me and he plays the type of football I can identify myself with. His tactical plans are spot on, with a well organised defence, quick counter-attacks and clinical finishing. Thats the only way to be successful nowadays. I wouldnt have allowed my agent to contact me about interested clubs if I wanted to stay at Stuttgart. Real Madrid are the only club in the world Ive been considering so far. However, nothing has been decided yet. I will make a decision about my future in the coming days.

Khedira certainly does seem to be seriously considering a move out of the Bundesliga this summer. With the allure of trophies and the best manager in the world in the form of Jose Mourinho, the prospect of a move to Real Madrid certainly is hard to turn down. But, would a move out of Germany and to Real Madrid be beneficial to Khedira? With Lassana Diarra, Fernando Gago and Xabi Alonso all players who Sami Khedira will compete with for a place in the team, Khedira may be playing far less than he would be if he stayed at Stuttgart.

And, with Khedira being only 23 years old, his development as a player ! is still in progress. While he would learn quite a lot from being surrounded by so many world-class superstars, he may also spend a lot of time on the bench if he doesnt immediately settle into the team and the new surroundings. Having spent all of his career so far with Stuttgart, a move to Spain and the very competitive Bernabeu could be too big of a change for the young midfielder.

Mr. Hodgson Or: How We Learned To Stop Worrying And Blame The Manager

Image
The manager has risen from club secretary to official face of the club since the creation of football teams worldwide. He has moved from the man that kept the record books to man that is larger than the football team he manages. Commentators and pundits refer to Fergusons United or Wengers beautiful, passing football. He even has books written about him. The Manager by Barney Ronay, an excellent book that discusses the rise of the manager into the modern game, unearths some of the origins of the managers image and attempts todiscuss what kind of person the manager really is. While the book wasnt ever intended to be an academic study of the merits of various tactical thoughts of managers, it does address some of the often listed character traits ofsuccessfulmanagers. When all these traits are put together, to many the manager appears to be a father figure, a scary headmaster, a politician youd like to have a beer with, or somecombination. Yet despite all this popularity, he is little mo...

England World Cup camps need to lose doomsday siege mentality

Image
One day last week, near the junction of Maude Street and Rivonia Road, in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton, a line of smiling young men in shirts and shorts strolled along the pavement towards their hotel. Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, Robin Van Persie, Dirk Kuyt, Mark Van Bommel and the rest of the Dutch squad waited at the lights until there was a break in the traffic and then ambled across the road. These were some of the best known players in the world, superstars of the game, walking along city streets on their way back from training and looking as though they did not have a care. There was no security with them. None to speak of, anyway. There were no photographers running in front of them and taking their picture. There were no girlfriends tottering along beside them. None of them wore headphones. They did not insulate themselves. They seemed at one with their surroundings. It was only a snapshot of the way the Dutch are living their lives at this World Cup but ...

How an American Influence Is Rubbing Off On Manchester City

Image
Manchester Citys match day experience is becoming more and more American with each new season. While Maine Road was what you could expect a typical British experience of what it was like to see an English football match in the 80s, the City of Manchester Stadium experience seems as American as apple pie. In previous seasons, City have tried to focus on improving the match-day experience. Theyve added buskers, i.e. public performers, around the ground to add to the atmosphere. And recently theyve adopted American entertainment methods such as turning down the house lights before kick-off and trying to get everyone excited for the big match. Theyve also been a pioneer in English football in their usage of American social media sites such as Facebook, Foursquare, Flickr and others to create a bond with supporters. And now for their first home match in the league for the 2010-11 season, against Liverpool tonight, theyre set to unveil two new features. Both of them have a uniquely American...
