VALDES SET TO GO

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes recently announced that he will be definitely leaving the club at the end of the season, but that has not prevented him from praising super star Lionel Messi as a god.

Messi is regarded as the best player in the world after having won the last four FIFA Ballon d’Or awards. Valdes has improved dramatically in the last few years and he will find no shortage of interested parties. It is expected that he will announce the decision of his next club in January when he will be free to talk with interested parties.

Messi is regarded as the best player in the world after having won the last four FIFA Ballon d’Or awards. Valdes has improved dramatically in the last few years and he will find no shortage of interested parties. It is expected that he will announce the decision of his next club in January when he will be free to talk with interested parties.

It has long been rumoured that he will be joining Bayern Munich in order to be reunited with Pep Guardiola, but that has been ruled out. Now, he is linked with a move to Manchester city and Monaco. He has also spoken about the current change in style of play at the club.

Gerardo Martino has revealed that he wants his Barcelona team to have a different approach to the game rather than only the passing style of football, which has become synonymous with the club in the last five years.

“Messi is the best. For me, Messi is God because of what he’s given to the team and because of the experiences I’ve had as his team-mate. Also because of what I’ve had to suffer in training, it’s not easy. Coming from an excellent level I understand that it may be complicated for people to accept that I play long balls from the back, but our rivals know us well now and it’s easier to analyse us. We’ve improved in that regard,” said Valdes to the Unibet website.

This has meant that Barcelona have been playing long balls, which is the only disadvantage of the system according to Valdes.

MARTINO LAUDS VALDES

The manager of Barcelona, Gerardo Martino, has lauded the goalkeeper of his team Victor Valdes for his performance in the recently played La Liga game against Rayo Vallecano.
Valdes made some great saves in that game and helped Barca secure a 4-0 win which took them to the top position in the points table.

Apart from Valdes, the other guy who stood out for Barca in that match was Pedro Rodriguez. He found the net thrice in the game. The 4th goal was scored by Cesc Fabregas.

Apart from Valdes, the other guy who stood out for Barca in that match was Pedro Rodriguez. He found the net thrice in the game. The 4th goal was scored by Cesc Fabregas.

Talking to the reporters at the end of the game, Martino said, “Victor is in the form of his life at the moment. He is one of the best shot stoppers in this country and he is great to watch.”
“He played a massive part today. The score line would have been much closer without his contribution.”

Valdes himself was also quite satisfied with the fact that he made a significant contribution in his team’s win.

The 31 years old goalie said, “It feels nice when you play well and the team wins. This season has been going pretty well for me and for the team as well. We have been consistent till now, but, these are early days. We need to keep winning matches.”

When asked about his future, Valdes once again made clear that he would be making a move at the end of the ongoing season.

The Spaniard said, “I don’t have any problem here, but, I will be leaving next summer. I don’t want to say anything more about this.”

Valdes has not played for any club other than Barcelona so far in his career. He has been playing for the first team of Barcelona since the last 11 years.

VALDES BACKS CESC

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes, who has already revealed that he will leave the club at the end of the season, has expressed his confidence over Cesc Fabregas staying at the camp Nou beyond this transfer window.

The former Arsenal midfielder has been heavily linked with a return to Premier league football with Manchester United, who already have had two bids rejected for him. However, they are prepared to be preparing a third bid, which will increase the offer to £ 40 million. It will be hard to resist for Barcelona, who paid only £ 35 million for him in 2011.

However, they are prepared to be preparing a third bid, which will increase the offer to £ 40 million. It will be hard to resist for Barcelona, who paid only £ 35 million for him in 2011.

Barcelona officials have stated on several occasions that they do not intend to sell the 26-year-old at any price, but this offer will certainly be tempting. Valdes has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich once his contract comes to an end. His statements come at a time when a number of other Barcelona players like Alex Song and Javier Mascherano have also been saying that Fabregas will stay at the camp Nou. The 26-year-old is thought to have been extremely frustrated with the first two years at the club during which time he has played second fiddle to the likes of Iniesta and Xavi.

“I’m confident he’ll stay, I have seen him and he’s excited about this new chapter at Barca,” said Valdes. “I didn’t talk to him, but he’s happy. It’s difficult when you have to talk about the personal situation of other players because sometimes you don’t know what they really think, but I could see him here training and he’s happy. He grew up in Barcelona and he feels the colours of the shirt. It’s difficult when you grew up here to leave because Barcelona is a big team and a big city, where it’s really nice to live and his family is here,” said Mascherano.

BICEPS TOO LARGE

The goalkeeper of Barcelona FC, Victor Valdes, has said that he refused to wear the captain’s armband in the 58th minute of the match against Athletic Bilbao because that armband couldn’t fit in his arms. His biceps were too large for that.

In the match against Bilbao, neither Carles Puyol nor Andres Iniesta was playing. So, in their absence, Xavi Hernandez was captaining the side. But, in the 58th minute, he was substituted by Lionel Messi. So, he had to give that armband to someone else.

The manager asked Xavi to give it to Valdes, but, Valdes surprisingly refused to take it. After that, Messi had to wear that armband and he captained the side from that stage.

Valdes was criticized everywhere especially in social media for that refusal. It was also said that he is not 100% committed to the club. But, the Spanish goalie clarified everything after the match.

Talking to the reporters after the match, Valdes said, “The only reason behind refusing to wear that armband was that it was too small to fit in my arms. There was nothing else behind it.”
“I am facing a lot of criticism because of that, but, I don’t think I did anything wrong there.”

When Messi took over the captaincy from Hernandez, Barcelona was trailed by 1-0. But, soon after his arrival, Barca found the net a couple of times and got ahead by 2-1. One of those goals was scored by the skipper himself.

However, Barca couldn’t maintain that lead till the final whistle was blown. In the 90th minute, Ander Herrera scored the second goal for Bilbao and the scores were equalized.
In the injury time, there were no goals scored and the match ended in a draw.

This could be the first year since 1936 when a British player wins the Wimbledon Men’s Championship. Although the odds on Murray doing so are a little short at 11/4, it is certainly worth a bet; you will be very pleased with yourself when he collects the trophy. Unfortunately there are no real British contenders for the women’s title, though we do have two women players in the top 50, so betting on either Laura Robson or Heather Watson to win a game or two could be a good move.

Will England win the Ashes? We are definitely betting on it, though it is a little less certain that England will do well at the ODIs or Twenty20 matches. This is a back to back Ashes series, so if we do win in England will we be able to hang on to them in Australia? Betting on an England double would be very exciting if you could find a bookie willing to give you reasonable odds.

VALDES LIKELY TO LEAVE

The Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes is likely to leave Barcelona at the end of his current contract after he has rejected the offer of a new deal the club. Despite being the goalkeeper from one of the most successful clubs in Europe, Valdes has not always been regarded the same breath as Iker Casillas.

The contract of the 30-year-old comes to an end next season. He was recently offered a new contract by Barcelona, but he has rejected the offer saying that he is likely to move on. This has led to the Catalan club being linked with several high profile goalkeepers like Pepe Reina.

Valdes came through the youth academy at Barcelona and has played for the club for many years now. However, he is thought to be interested in the possibility of a new challenge. As a result, several Premier league clubs are reportedly keeping tabs on his situation. Valdes has also been linked with a reunion with the former Barcelona manager Guardiola, who recently took over the German club Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, his decision to leave the club has been supported by the manager Tito Vilanova. Vilanova has said that Valdes is free to work with any club he prefers and he will not stay in the way of the 30-year-old.

“I have spoken to him and I would like everyone to respect his decision. Everyone is free to work where they want to and we have to respect that and help him for the time he is with us. He should have a good exit from the club after all that he has given us. I understand that it may not be the best moment for some people, but it gives the club time to look for a replacement. I have no doubt about his (Valdes’) professional attitude,” said Vilanova.

VALDES MAY BE RESTED

The Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova has revealed that he will be resting on number of key players like Victor Valdes for the match against Cordoba. Barcelona will be taking on the second division club from Spain in the Copa del Rey looking to progress to the next round of the competition.

The Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova has revealed that he will be resting on number of key players like Victor Valdes for the match against Cordoba. Barcelona will be taking on the second division club from Spain in the Copa del Rey looking to progress to the next round of the competition.

There have been doubts that Barcelona will find it difficult to achieve the necessary motivation to win this match. The manager Tito Vilanova has admitted that motivating the players is extremely important when facing the top clubs, but they should not take the opposition lightly because it is an opportunity to win a title.

Vilanova has said that he has spoken with the players and their feeling extremely ready for the match. However, he will certainly have been excited by the prospect of playing against a top division team rather than a second division outfit. Due to the fact that Barcelona will be playing against the second placed team in the la Liga – Atletico Madrid – during the weekend, he will be resting a number of key players like Victor Valdes and Andreas Iniesta for this match. Vilanova recently saw the Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi break the goal scoring record of the German striker Gerd Muller. He praised the achievements of the Argentine by saying that he is the best player in the world.

“I would say that it is increasingly difficult and that it is a complicated tie. I would rather play against a top team. They are not just words, it is how I feel about the match, and I would have preferred to play a Primera Liga team. Cordoba eliminated Real Sociedad and played good football. I am fortunate that my players love to play football. I have asked them and they are all ready,” said the Barcelona manager.

MICHU BACKS VALDES

The Celtic striker Miku, who is currently on loan at the Spanish club Getafe, has said that he is extremely dumb founded at the reason for the Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes getting a lot of negative press.

The Celtic striker Miku, who is currently on loan at the Spanish club Getafe, has said that he is extremely dumb founded at the reason for the Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes getting a lot of negative press.

The Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has been the number one at the club since making his debut back in 2002. However, he has always been regarded as someone who is not the best in the world. Victor Valdes has always played understudy to the Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas at the Spanish national team level. Despite this, the Celtic striker Miku considers him to be one of the best in the world.

Celtic will be taking on Barcelona in the Champions League group stage matches looking to do the unthinkable by getting a result at the camp Nou, which is one of the toughest places to visit in all of Europe. The 30-year-old Venezuela striker Miku, however, believes that Barcelona certainly do have some weaknesses that Celtic will be able to exploit. However, the goalkeeper Victor Valdes is not one of them according to the striker. Celtic will be coming into the match after having recently won their first European encounter away from home in the form of the 3-2 win over Spartak Moscow.

“Doubting Valdes is like doubting your mum. We have to take advantage of their weak defence. In strategic moves, they can be damaged. They have injuries so that might give us a chance. The game will be seen around the world so that’s maximum motivation [for us]. I have won, lost and drawn to Barcelona so [I know that] this will be a difficult game. They are the best [team] in the world right now,” said the Celtic striker. Celtic will be playing two matches against Barcelona home and away.

NO WORRIES ON VALDES

The Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova has confirmed that he does not have any worries about the current goalkeeper Victor Valdes. The 28-year-old goalkeeper made a costly error in the recent match with Real Madrid, which finished 3-2 in the end.

The Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova has confirmed that he does not have any worries about the current goalkeeper Victor Valdes. The 28-year-old goalkeeper made a costly error in the recent match with Real Madrid, which finished 3-2 in the end.

This was the first leg of the Supercopa Espana match between the two clubs. Even though Barcelona go into the second leg with an advantage in the tie, the situation could have been made much better if they did not concede the late goal as a result of the error made by Victor Valdes. Barcelona will be hoping to lift the first trophy of the season, but this error gives Real Madrid to recover from the one goal deficit.

Meanwhile, Tito Vilanova has also said that he is confident that the winger Alexis Sanchez will be able to find his best form over the course of the next few weeks. The former Udinese winger was not at his best in the match against Real Madrid. There have been suggestions that the £ 30 million signing will be dropped from the next few matches, but Tito Vilanova said that he still has faith in the player. Barcelona have made a great start to the new season by winning all the opening matches.

“It surprises me that Victor is being doubted, even though we have won three Liga titles thanks to him. I have seen him play very well so far this season; he is very strong mentally. I agree that he did not play well the other day, but he did the things that we asked of him and really helped us. Perhaps he lacked a ruthless edge, but I’m sure he will do very well this season,” said Tito Vilanova after the match against Real Madrid. Barcelona will face Real Madrid in the second leg shortly.

COMPETITION FOR GOALIE SPOT

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said that he does not believe for one moment that he is the first choice goalkeeper at the club. Victor Valdes is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he has represented the best team in the world right now – Barcelona – for more than 300 games.

This undisputed record will lead to many into believing that Victor Valdes is the undisputed number one at the club. However, the Spanish international has said that he does not see it that way because there is a lot of competition for his place at the club.

This undisputed record will lead to many into believing that Victor Valdes is the undisputed number one at the club. However, the Spanish international has said that he does not see it that way because there is a lot of competition for his place at the club.

Jose Manuel Pinto is regarded as the main competition for Victor Valdes at the camp Nou, although he has been able to get very little first-team action due to the presence of the latter. Victor Valdes himself has not been hugely successful at the international level because he has not been able to dislodge Iker Casillas from goal. He has said that he has never regarded himself as a first choice goalkeeper for the Spanish national team, which is similar to his position at the club team as well. However, many would not dispute with the quality of the 30-year-old.

“This is my 11th season and I have always said the same thing. I have never felt that I’m the number one choice and I never will do. I have seen everything and until the very last day I come to the Ciutat Esportiva, I won’t feel assured of my place,” said Victor Valdes in a recent interview. The 30-year-old goalkeeper conceded two goals in the second half against the French club PSG, which allowed them to draw the match 2-2. He will be hoping to put behind this disappointment and reclaim the title from Real Madrid in the league.
