Montenegro could so easily have been the last game of the career of the Russian

The Euro Cup qualifying game versus Montenegro could so easily have been the last game of the career of the Russian shot stopper Igor Akinfeev, but, only because he had had the well wishes of so many people with him that he managed to get away with the minimal damage.

A flame coming from the direction of the spectators hit Akinfeev and he was down straightaway.

The team doctors came in and tried to get Akinfeev sorted there on the pitch itself, but, the burn was too intense to keep the player going and after about 30 minutes or so, finally the stretcher came in and he had to go the hospital for some expert medical guidance.

The proceedings could not get underway in that duration.

After Akinfeev’s departure though, the match resumed, but, could not reach its conclusion because of the misbehaving nature of the spectators.

There were objects being thrown to the pitch and thus, to protect the players from suffering any damage, the referee made the decision of abandoning the match in the 67th minute. Continue reading →

Fabio Capello says Real Madrid needs to find Reason behind Drop form of Ronaldo

Russia’s national team coach Fabio Capello says that Real Madrid should fully investigate the reasons behind Cristiano Ronaldo’s dip in form. After being one of the renowned goal scorers in the world, the Portuguese superstar has now gone to matches without a goal.

This is unlikely to be a major concern for any other player. However, Ronaldo has scored an astonishing 30 goals in just 20 games this season. His performances have been a major factor in Madrid setting a new record in Europe by winning 22 matches in succession. Capello says that there must be other reasons to Ronaldo’s dip in form.

Capello managed Real Madrid for a short period of time and led them to the league title. The Italian is now in charge of Russia, where his future is also less certain after not having been paid for several months. The Russian FA is understood to be not in a position to pay the £ 6 million per year contract of the Italian. Until now, rich benefactors have made it possible for Russia to hire coaches like Guus Hiddink. At this situation, this has not been possible, but Capello is not worried about the situation with Russia. The former England boss has called for the Real Madrid medical staff to investigate Ronaldo.

Russian Football assures Fabio for Outstanding Payment

The Russian Football Union has confirmed that it will go to great lengths in order to ensure that coach Fabio Capello receives his outstanding pay in the next few weeks. The Italian is one of the best paid coaches in international football with an annual salary of just over $ 10 million.

Russia have been paying extravagant sums for their coaches due to funding from rich benefactors like Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. However, this funding has dried up in recent years and Russia have been unable to meet their contractual requirements. The situation has been worsened even further by the collapse of oil prices.

Russia depends heavily on oil in order to meet its budget. The RFU’s president Nikolai Tolstykh has confirmed that he has held talks with Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko in order to overcome the problem. Continue reading →

Russian Football Team Getting Ready For World Cup 2018

Russian football team are gearing up in full vigor to prepare for the next FIFA World Cup which is about to take place in Putin’s country in 2018.

According to the sources, Russian national football team coach Fabio Capello has joined up with Yury Nagornykh (Deputy Russian Sports Minister) to work out programs for preparations of national team for FIFA 2018 World Cup. The news has been confirmed by Vitaly Mutko, the Sports Minister of Russia.

“Fabio has joined up with Yury to prepare a huge program for preparing the 2018 FIFA World Cup”, stated Mutko. “The preparation program has been implemented already.”

Russian national football team experienced a set of setbacks in the last decade given their failure to pass the qualification test in World Cup 2006 in Germany & 2010 championship at South Africa- much to the dismay of Russian soccer fans.

However, things changed with the arrival of Italian legend Capello who took over the reins with a strong efficient grasp as the main coach of the Russian football team & managed to lift out the failing team to a winning track that helped them to qualify for Brazil World Cup in 2014.

But again, as Russia failed to go past the 1st stage of 2014 World, Capello had to encounter some really harsh criticisms which even raised grave concerns about Russia’s future fate in the next World Cup that is to be held by Russia herself in the year 2018.

Russia won the honorable bid to act as the respected host for World Cup 2018 around 4 years back in a strict race against combined bids from Spain, Portugal & England as well as another joint bid from Netherlands & Belgium. Russia picked eleven host cities as the match venues for the 2018 mega event.
