Klose calls time on his career

The Germany legend, and all-time leading scorer in World Cup finals, has decided to hang up his boots after a long and successful career.

Miroslav Klose has decided to hang up his boots after leaving Lazio at the end of the 2015-16 campaign following the expiry of his contract.

Klose had been linked with a move to MLS and former club Kaiserslautern over the past few months, but has opted to retire instead and take up a position with Germany's national team.

The former Bayern Munich man would take up an individual training under national team coach Joachim Low and sporting director Hansi Flick with an eye on a future coaching career, while also joining Low's backroom staff.

"I enjoyed my biggest successes with the national team. It was a great time and unforgettable for me. That's why I am happy to return to the DFB," Klose told the DFB website.

"Over the past few months, the idea of staying on the pitch in another position, as a coach, got into my mind. I already enjoyed developing tactics, preparing for games and reading the game during my playing days.

"I am grateful to Jogi Low and Hansi Flick that they are offering me this opportunity."

Klose enjoyed his biggest club successes with Bayern, where he won two Bundesliga titles and two DFB-Pokals. The striker won the Bundesliga top-scorer award in 2005-06.

The German forward has 137 caps and scored 71 goals during that time to become his country's all-time top goalscorer.

He won the World Cup in 2014, having finished as a runner-up in 2002. Klose is also the all-time top scorer at World Cup finals, with 16 strikes spread over four tournaments.

Ronaldo should win the Balon d'Or.

Sir alex Ferguson, former manchester United Manager has tipped Cristano Ronaldo to go all the way and win the Balon d'Or. Ferguson believes it will be his former protégé Cristiano Ronaldo who will take the crown.

Ferguson coached Ronaldo in is teenage days at Manchester United and he confessed that he is happy to have a part in Cristiano Ronaldo illustrous career.
“Cristiano’s achievements are unsurpassed, he has had a wonderful year,” Ferguson told Spanish newspaper Marca.
“I cannot think of anyone better to lift the Ballon d’Or trophy.

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN BALON D'OR-BALE

Real Madrid superstar has made a shocking revelation that he does not have the balon d'or in his mind now as he just wants to help his team win several more trophies.

Bale was named on the 30 man shortlist for the prestigous award but he feels team performance should come before individual glory.
"The Ballon d'Or has never been a personal goal for me. I never dreamed about winning the Ballon d'Or. I dreamed about winning Champions League and league titles," Bale said at a media conference.
"If I win the Champions League and other titles, then individual awards will come, but it is not something I'm thinking about. Trophies for club and country come first for me.
"If it happens, it happens. If you play well for club and country, the Ballon d'Or will come. It is not something I am thinking about, but it would be fantastic if it happens."
When asked who he thinks will win it, he replied A lot of players have had a good season," he added.
"Messi and Ronaldo have both had great seasons. Cristiano has been incredible, he won the Champions League and Euro 2016.
"But I am not in the jury, so I cannot say who will win it. I wish luck to my team-mates and to everyone else."

Ronaldo lacks some qualities Messi has.

Diego Forlan believes that Messi is ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo because of his match winning skills.
The Uruguayan believes that Messi still has the power to chnage a game by conjuring moments of individual brilliance whereas his Real Madrid does not.

Forlan who played together with Ronaldo at Machester United says that Ronaldo is now more of finisher in the Real Madrid team and has become less of a complete player the longer he has spent at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“There is one part of his game that I wish he would not have changed,” he wrote in The National.
“When I played with him and in his first years at Real Madrid, he used to go past players for fun, like Messi. Now he is more of a finisher, a killer in front of goal.

“Messi has that too, but he also has the ability to go past two or three players and change a game.”
Ronaldo and Messi are set to lock horns once again over the coming weeks as the battle to be named Ballon d’Or winner intensifies.
Ronaldo is the odds on favourite to win the award after he lifted the Champions League and won the Euro 2016 with portugal.

Gareth Bale signs contract extension until 2022.

Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale has signed a new contract extension with the European Champions until 2022. The Wales Star joined Real Madrid from Totenham Hotspur for a then world record fee of 85.3M Pounds and has since gone on to score 62 goals in 135 appreances for the Los Blancos team. Bale has won numerous trophies since signing with Real Madrid including 2 Champions League trophies in just his three years at the club.

Bale joins a host of other Real Madrid players to sign a contract extension as Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Lucas Vasquez have already signed an extension.
Bale has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs but this new deal would surely put a stop to it as the 5 and a half year contract would see Bale remain with Real Madrid well into his 30's.
Real Madrid have been keen to tie down their key players to new deals as they have been hit with a transfer Ban alongside their city rivals Atletico Madrid that would keep them from signing any player for the year 2018.
Cristano Ronaldo and Pepe are two other names expected to sign new deals in the coming weeks.

Former Bayern Munich Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has returned to train with the Manchester United first team for the first time since Jose Mourinho's appointment as Manager of Manchester United.
The former German Captain has been banished to the reserves since Mourinho took charge at Old Trafford and has been told to find a new club ever since.
The peak of it was when the club released the squad photo for the 2016/2017 season and Schweinsteiger was nowhere to be found.

The Manchester United fans have in the past called for the player to be given a chance considering the lackluster performance from their team which has seen them lose three matches this season and are already playing catch up as they trail the Premier League Leaders with 8 points.
However, the fans had their wish as Schweinsteiger was spotted in the first team training alongside Rooney and other team mates.
However, it is left to be seen whether this will be enough to convince Mourinho to give him playing time on the pitch.

Manchester United are yet to prove their title credentials this season and they remain 8th position with 13 points from 10 matches.
They take on Fenerbahce in the Europa League before taking on Swansea in the weekend in the Premier League.

Shwweinsteiger is ineligible to play in the Uefa Europa League as he is not in the squad.
