Reus refuses to be drawn on new Dortmund deal Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:06 AM PDT The Germany international has been in superb form for Jurgen Klopp's charges this season, contributing 16 goals in 28 Bundesliga appearances. Reus' displays have reportedly caught the eye of several teams throughout Europe, with Manchester United and Barcelona thought to be among his suitors. Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke has previously confirmed that Reus does have a buyout clause in his contract thought to be in the region of €35million, though reports suggest that does not come into effect until 2015. On his contract situation, Reus toldBild:"I'm not saying anything about my contract. "But I do have the time to emphasise how good I feel at Dortmund." Dortmund are guaranteed to finish second in the Bundesliga this term and are currently on a seven-match unbeaten run in Germany's top flight. Klopp's men will also contest the DFB-Pokal final against rivals Bayern Munich on May 17. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
Sami Hyypias Perfect XI: Featuring THREE former Manchester United stars Posted: 29 Apr 2014 05:20 AM PDT Goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel He had a great career, but unfortunately most of his successful years were at Manchester United! He was a sensational goalkeeper and one of the big reasons why they were so successful. Left-back: Bixente Lizarazu He was a very solid left-back and always went forward to join the attack. I think he was one of the best left-backs of his time, certainly the best I faced. Centre-back: Mats Hummels He's still playing and he's still quite young actually. He's already a top central defender but he can still improve even more. Centre-back: Lucio I remember one game here in Leverkusen when I was playing for Liverpool (in 2001/02) and we were knocked out of the Champions League. He scored the winning goal and we lost 4-3 on aggregate. That was his best season at Leverkusen, and from that point on he went from strength to strength and became a very good centre back. Right-back: Cafu I remember playing against Roma and he was always flying up the wing to join the attack. Maybe defending wasn't his biggest strength, but he was up and down that right flank for 90 minutes. Central midfield: Steven Gerard I can include him because I played against him with the national team! Of course he can also get forward as well, but he has all the qualities to defend. He has everything that a central midfielder needs to be a top player: he can shoot, he can pass, he can tackle, he can defend, he can run, he's strong. He's basically the complete player. Central midfield: Rivaldo I faced him when he was at Barcelona and he was a very difficult to player to play against. I remember playing against them in the UEFA Cup. We managed to win 1-0 at Anfield and I had a very good game against Rivaldo, but maybe he was just having a bad day! Right wing: Cristiano Ronaldo What more can I say about him? He's a great goalscorer and very dangerous going forward. Left wing: Ryan Giggs He's had a very long career at Man United and to his credit he's played well every single season. He was a very tricky player to player against because of his dribbling skills. And now that he's a bit older, his passing is better than it used to be. He might have lost a little bit of pace, but his passing has really improved. Striker: Thierry Henry He's a great goalscorer and was very difficult to play against. I think that at his peak, he was the best player I ever faced. He was very, very good during those successful years at Arsenal. Striker: Ronaldo I faced Ronaldo back in 1995 when he was a youngster at PSV. I was still playing in Finland for MYPA, and we played them in the UEFA Cup. We managed to pick up a 1-1 draw in the first leg at home, but we knew it was going to be difficult in Eindhoven in the second game. Ronaldo scored four goals and we lost 7-1! He was the best of the best at that time. He was so quick and strong, he'd make chances for himself from nothing and he'd be a great strike partner for Thierry Henry. Substitutes George Weah, Cesc Fabregas, Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic Franck Ribery Manager: Jupp Heynckes He was my coach here for two years and now he's managing Bayern Munich. He's had a great career, he's nearly 70 but he's still going! It's great to see that he still has the strength to carry on and I think that he would be the perfect coach to get the best out of this team.

Wilmots including Januzaj in World Cup plans Posted: 29 Apr 2014 03:28 AM PDT The coach revealed last week that Brussels-born Januzaj had opted to play for the country of his berth, with the 19-year-old eligible to represent a number of nations at international level, including Albania, Serbia and Turkey. Everton's Kevin Mirallasvoiced his opinion on the matter last week, claiming that it would "not be fair" for Januzajto be included in the party to go to Brazil, but it appears Wilmots has the Manchester United youngster firmly on his radar. "I've seen him several times," he toldLe Soir."I'd like to see him on a daily basis. "I will include him in the 30 short-listed for the World Cup. He will be there. "He will be part of the group at Genk(in a friendly against Luxembourg on May 26) and Sweden (against Sweden on June 1). "Then the truth will come and he must earn his place like everyone else because I do not work with guarantees. "What is certain is that the boy has a very interesting profile in the absence of Christian Benteke and his versatility is an asset."
