Marseille rhymes with title – Sports.fr

Autumn Champion, OM has a highly successful first half of the season. With Bielsa at their head, Marseille can they maintain this momentum and win the title in the nose and PSG beard? Response Elements.

The first part of the season bright Om opens great opportunities in the title race. Autumn champions, two points ahead of Lyon and three on the PSG, Marseille had never started as strong since the introduction of the three-point victory. Arrived on the bench last summer, Marcelo Bielsa, became an icon at the Velodrome in a few months, has managed to give a conquering spirit his players despite rigor at all times. Transfigured by the first six months of the year, however not Marseille has a large room for maneuver.

+ A well-oiled team

How not to associate Bielsa Marseille successful start to the season? Argentina coach applied his methods to a group still ossified by a difficult end to the 2013-14 season and made it a war machine. The players have all recognized the importance of management of Bielsa, his desire to see his players develop a team and make the effort for each other. The former coach of Athletic Bilbao takes its group with an iron hand, but that’s what OM needed to be included again among the potential candidates for the title of champion of France.

+ executives at

The backbone of OM responded. Each line, Bielsa has a determinant of its workforce: André-Pierre Gignac scores goals (12), although it may be more effective, Dimitri Payet (5 goals, 7 assists) is now the custodian of the Marseille game with excellent Giannelli Imbula recovery and revival behind him, Nicolas Nkoulou has again become the boss of the defense and Steve Mandanda, as a good captain, multiplies the decisive parades. These five, if they keep their level, can maintain OM at the top.

+ Master home

The brand new Velodrome turned into impregnable fortress . In ten home games, OM won nine. With 27 points, the highest total in Ligue 1 tie with Lyon. Since the defeat against Montpellier (0-2) in August for the first game of the season in front of their public, Marseille chained nine consecutive victories. In the second part of the season, they will receive nine times, including PSG and Lyon, and move ten times

. – Negative balance against the big

This is the black spot OM in the first five months of the championship. Against clubs in the top 5, the team of Marcelo Bielsa earned only against Saint-Etienne (2-1) and bowed in Paris (2-0), Lyon (1-0) and Monaco (1-0). Direct confrontations between the candidates under often decide the outcome of the season. These matches will be more decisive in the second part of the championship. And OM will have the advantage of receiving three out of four (Saint-Etienne-OM late February OM-Lyon mid-March, early April OM-PSG, OM-Monaco in May).

– A somewhat limited bench

The departure of African players in their selection for CAN (January 17-February 8 Equatorial Guinea) has saved the Marseille squad, which lost only two. While these are two frames since it is Nicolas Nkoulou (Cameroon) and Andre Ayew (Ghana), but other important elements will be available to Bielsa as Alaixys Romao and Brice Dja Djedje. Good news for Argentina coach, the fallback in case of absence of the owners are not numerous. And is dependent upon the state of form of potential replacements, like Romain Alessandrini, Michy Batshuayi and Jérémy Morel

. – Tributary PSG

It would be simplistic to consider first place in the OM as the result of a first part of the season too irregular PSG. The Marseillais than worth to be leading, but their scope is still thin on the Parisian rival while Lyon threat is present as well. If Laurent Blanc’s team returned to upright, it could take everything until May and deprive the OM title, especially in cases of breathlessness in the results. On paper, PSG is over Marseille. In fact, this is not (yet) the case.

Marseille: Labrune the tone – France Info

Vincent Labrune confirmed and signed. Despite the departure of Nicolas Nkoulou Cameroon or Ghana’s Andre Ayew to CAN, Olympique de Marseille should not move during the Winter Mercato.

Is his internship with the bourgeois Bordeaux that made him like that? I have no problem with it and I do not think he has with me. “Assuming that Laurent Blanc appreciate criticism of former chairman …

Already but it can be even more and it is on this axis we will focus, ” he has even said Tuesday.

Cavani and Lavezzi are therefore the perfect examples for a white man who wants Bogeyman. But not crazy either. Yes, if both players is boring. ” But we can not represent that it is about to start, ” promises the Cevennes.

Cavani and Lavezzi will have to explain – Sports.fr

After the victory of PSG against Inter Milan (1-0) Tuesday in Marrakech, Laurent Blanc spoke about absences Lavezzi and Cavani, but also ill-being Thiago Motta.

Football: Barcelona permanently banned transfers until January … – The Obs

Geneva (AFP) – The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Tuesday confirmed the ban on transfers for the next two periods, until January 2016, FC Barcelona for offenses relating to the transfer of ten minor players .

“The panel found that FC Barcelona had violated the rules concerning the protection of minors and registration of minors who attend football academies,” said CAS in a statement, adding that “accordingly, the decision of FIFA (taken in April) is confirmed in its entirety and the penalty remains in force.”

The Spanish club will be allowed to recruit well over the next two mercatos (Jan. and summer 2015) and will have to pay a fine of 450,000 Swiss francs (374,142 euros).

Barça grabbed the CAS after the Fifa sentenced him to spring a recruitment ban for two successive mercatos, a decision confirmed in summer 2014 by the Appeal Board of the International Federation.

Fifa, whose decision had the effect of a bomb in April, accused the Barça . the recruitment of several minors, the transfers are prohibited in principle but three cases of specific face

This very heavy penalty had been a bombshell in Barcelona: the “Masia” center in club training is central to the blaugrana project and several stars of the first team derived therefrom, such as Lionel Messi, Xavi or Andres Iniesta, gave him worldwide fame.

In late April, the club had temporarily defused by obtaining the sanction of the Fifa that his appeal to the Appeals Board suspensive.

Barcelona took advantage of this respite to recruit, which allowed him to renew its workforce in depth professional end of the cycle, and even anticipate the possible application of this prohibition transfer window spending more than 150 million euros on the transfer market.

The club had recorded including the signing of Uruguayan Luis Suarez for EUR 81 million.

Lavezzi, an evening falls ill – Sports.fr

Like his friend Edinson Cavani, Ezequiel Lavezzi ultimately did not join his teammates PSG currently training in Marrakech. An absence that is due to family problems. Although many shots have everything shown in the process this weekend to celebrate a Lacoste evening …

At the time of the rigor advocated by Laurent Blanc and “end of favoritism “discussed Monday at a press conference, the double absence of Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi falls necessarily bad. And especially since the club has provided a minimum on the subject is limited in effect to announce Tuesday that both players would not go as planned, but in Marrakech will simply find their teammates at the Camp des Loges, Thursday.

What unleash all interpretations and fuel the rumors. To believe the Uruguayan press, the absence of Edinson Cavani would, however, due to bad weather that affected the region. The very ones who have also earned Javier Pastore to arrive a day late with Morocco. An explanation that could also apply also to Ezequiel Lavezzi since he has spent the past few days in Punta del Este, a famous seaside resort in Uruguay.

Except that believe the entourage the club, it would be family problems that would caught the Argentine longer than expected. A justification which nevertheless takes lead in the wing in view of the many clichés that have circulated over the weekend in the Argentine press. We see in fact the old Neapolitan with his girlfriend Yanina Screpante an organized this Saturday evening by Lacoste. So a few hours of his expected return to Morocco …

Asked about the subject, Alejandro Mazzoni, his agent, who also Lavezzi also shares his holiday, declined the slightest comment.

Schumacher ‘begins to recognize his own “one year after its … – Le Parisien

Interview by Alexandre Doskov | December 28 2014, 10:16 | Updated: December 28 2014 10:42

On December 29, 2013, the seven-time world Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher was in a coma after a violent fall skiing in Meribel, Savoie.

On the same subject

Today, the news is still distilled in dribs and drabs. Former French driver Philippe Streiff, who became quadriplegic after a serious accident Formula 1 in 1989, is a relative of the Schumacher family. As such, it evokes convalescence and difficult struggle of the former German driver. It also reviews the health status of Jules Bianchi, seriously wounded in the head during the Japanese Grand Prix on October 5th.

More than six months after emerging from coma How’s Michael Schumacher?

 Philippe Streiff. – It gets better, though the effects are very heavy. He left the hospital early September to return home at his home in Gland, Switzerland and is aware. But he still has not regained the power of speech, and communicates with the eyes. It still begins to recognize his own, his wife and children, but it has big memory problems.

What conditions do you manage to get information on its health?

 P.St. – Largely thanks to Professor Saillant. He took care of me when my accident and is now my friend. Moreover, in 2010, Michael Schumacher had founded with him the brain Institute and spinal cord (ICM) , a research center on the site of the Pitié-Salpêtrière, I work with also. It was almost prescient. I am also in contact with Corinna, Michael’s wife. And I live in Grenoble, just next to the University Hospital where he was hospitalized. At the time of the accident, so I was there.

Can you imagine it covers, one day, some of his faculties?

 P.St. – For memory, perhaps. At first it is very difficult. When I woke up after a month and a half in a coma, I did remember anything and I immediately asked the nurse if I could compete in the Brazilian Grand Prix, which took place a few days after my accident. But I woke up the day of the Grand Prix of San Marino and seeing on TV my car driven by another driver I understood. In a hospital, in an informal room with nurses that we do not know, it’s very difficult to find the markers. That’s partly why he was taken home to be in a familiar environment and try to recover her memory much faster.

And for the motor?

 P.St. – For now, it is very limited. The move from bed to wheelchair is already very difficult, it is necessary that the body’s getting back to the sitting position, it took me over a year. Michael started working on it. In the long term, and ideally, it may be able to hope to one day walk on crutches because his spinal cord was not damaged. But we can not say anything, plan anything. For the use of members such as voice, much will depend rehabilitation. Each case is so individual.

Do you have news of Jules Bianchi?

 P.St. – I have a little through Gérard Saillant, but they are much more worrying. The shock was much more violent than Michael Schumacher, and it was found diffuse axonal injury in his brain. This is an extremely serious head injury. The hope of recovery is much less important than Schumacher

But he still has not regained the power of speech, and communicates with the eyes. It still begins to recognize his own, his wife and children, but it has big memory problems. “

Philippe Streiff claims to possess this information ” largely thanks to Professor [Gerard] Saillant “, Chairman of the Medical Commission of the International Federation of . Automobile (FIA), and close to Michael Schumacher

Professor Saillant denied Sunday night: “For a year, I have never had any contact, verbal written or physical Philippe Streiff (…) For a year, ever family or real friends Michael have communicated outside the press Sabine [Kehm, portfolio official spokesman for the Schumacher Family] . Any journalist can testify that for a year I consistently refused any interviews or TV show. “

COMMUNICATION DROPPER

Sabine Kehm confirmed this statement: ” Mr Streiff n is not in contact with us and never has been. I do not know where he got his information. “” It is noteworthy that Philippe Streiff is customary of is , further stated Professor Saillant, since he had already made statements in Grenoble, quoting me a few days after Michael’s accident. “

Since last year, the entourage of the” Red Baron “- the nickname of the old driver, inherited from his years with Scuderia Ferrari – distilled the information dropper. A month after his accident, Schumacher family announced that “sedatives administered [was] recently reduced to initiate a revival process” . The 1 ^st April it was the turn of Sabine Kehm to announce that Michael Schumacher showed “consciousness and awakening moments” .

On June 16, the family of the most successful driver in Formula 1 hispanic announced that it “out of the coma,” and pursued “his long period of rehabilitation” . Michael Schumacher was then transferred to the University Hospital of Grenoble than in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Football: Fernando Torres back to Atletico Madrid – The World

World Champion 2010 and double European champion (2008 and 2012) with Spain international striker will commit for a period of one and a half season on loan from AC Milan provided that medical examinations are inconclusive.

So it will not be immortalized in Lombardy, where he arrived early in the season and where he had played previously only played ten games for a purpose scored. “El Niño” (“child”), now aged 30, played in Liverpool from 2007 to 2011 and at Chelsea from 2011 to 2014, never justify the transfer record (64 million) who had led to London.

“ I’M GOING HOME”

The agreement with Atletico Madrid “will definitely be completed on January 5, the day the winter transfer window opens in Italy” , said the Madrid club, Spanish league title and finalist in the Champions League last season, when an unpublished derby lost to Real Madrid.

“A little more than 17 years, in 2001, he began with the red and white team in the second division and despite her young age, he had not left the first team during the next six years, even becoming its captain and disputing 244 matches in which he scored 91 goals “, says Atlético about Fernando Torres; who had finished third in the Ballon d’Or 2008 trophy awarded to the best player of the year.

A year later, mess around Michael Schumacher – Sports.fr

While the December 29 marks the first anniversary of the skiing accident Michael Schumacher, the day Sunday resulted in a controversy after about Philippe Streiff about former German driver.

The subject is obviously highly sensitive. And especially at the time of the first anniversary of Michael Schumacher ski accident on the slopes of Meribel. For if Philippe Streiff has actually expressed this Sunday in the columns of Le Parisien giving news of the former Ferrarri icon, it ultimately did not say much more than in November when he was asked about the Europe 1 radio.

“Schumacher is better, everything is relative, had considered the old driver. It’s very difficult because can not speak: he is like me, in a wheelchair, paralyzed, with memory problems and speech more Being his family will allow him perhaps to recover faster but it will be difficult.. It seems that it communicates with the eyes. With his wife, her publicist … “

His speech therefore has hardly changed since. “It gets better, though the effects are very heavy, has indeed told the former Tyrrell driver daily Francilien, he left the hospital early September to return home to his home Gland, Switzerland and is aware. But he still has not regained the power of speech, and communicates with the eyes. It still starts to recognize his own, his wife and his children, but he large memory problems. “

However, the Schumacher clan has reacted this time. But ultimately more about contacts mentioned by the French to warrant this information on the health status of the seven-time world champion. “I can not confirm what has been written, has said Sabine Kehm in an interview in the afternoon Reuters. I can only confirm that I do not know where Mr. Streiff had the information because it has not had any contact with us, and he never had. “ And the bell sound was the same side of Professor Saillant.

“For a year, I have never had any contact, verbal, written or physical Philippe Streiff” has indeed told AFP the surgeon via a spokesman for the FIA, adding “it should be noted that Philippe Streiff is customary because since he had already made statements in Grenoble, quoting me a few days after Michael’s accident.” And Pr. Salient nail the “ the past year, ever family or real friends Michael did not provide outside the press Sabine. ”

There is one year, Michael Schumacher suffered a terrible accident – The Point

Around 11 am on the morning of December Michael Schumacher, also to the comfortable ski that installed in a cockpit, s ready to hit the slopes of Meribel with his son Mick and three friends. The small group s allows out in unmarked areas. Between tracks Georges Mauduit and La Biche, while the world champion F1 sketch a turn, it smashes against a rock that emerges above the snow. The shock is violent: it is powered by the air and falls on a sunken rock, bumping the right side of the head. At impact, his helmet broke into three pieces. The ski patrol involved a few minutes later then explain that Michael Schumacher is “rang but conscious.”

A surgical operation from the daytime

Then all s accelerating. Michael Schumacher helicopter to the hospital of Albertville-Moutier and exhausted at the University Hospital of Grenoble. The news began to spread in the newsroom. At the end of year when news is released, the world motorsport is rung. How a champion who resisted and won for so years on the track started more than 300 km / h could be the victim of ‘ an accident that can affect all fellows? The question still haunts the fans of Formula 1.

From the afternoon, hours after his fall, he suffered first and long operation. So that a journalist crowd gathers in front of requiring hospital, the information is already distilled Account -goutte. We learn in the evening that he suffers a head injury. And that his prognosis was hired. Michael Schumacher has just started the most important race of his life: the fight against life. The day after his accident, doctors explain that the situation is “critical”. Then, the medical team finds 31 December “slight improvement”. The press, particularly German, is regularly the echo rumors of the death of the “Red Baron”.

An investigation “no further action”

Yet the days go by. Doctors are able to identify areas of the brain that are damaged (January 13) before his press secretary, Sabine Kehm n suggests a gradual release of his coma (the January 30). In parallel, investigation into the circumstances of the accident, which caused much of ink is ” no further action. ” “No offense n was increased to against anyone, the s accident is produced off-piste area “said in a statement the prosecutor d Albertville, Patrick Quincy. Just as the German driver does one learn evolved “at a pace quite normal for this type of ground.”

Five months later, finally, new information is received. Sabine Kehm annou nced that F1 champion n is in a coma. He began a “recovery phase” and transferred to the University Hospital of Vaud in Lausanne. During summer family Schumacher, who travels 170 km a day to stay between eight and ten hours at his bedside, preparing to return the vast property Gland. Corinna, his wife, launches works a medicalized on. A significant investment: some British tabloids then evoke nearly 12 million euros spent this development

. Streiff: “we can not say nothing, nothing anticipate”

In September last, the six-time world champion is transferred to his home. There, Michael Schumacher has his medicalized result of the presence of physiotherapists, doctors, nutritionists, nurses but also neurological experts. His spokesman warns however that “this should not imply significant changes in their medical condition.” Again, the filter information bit.

Of course, this Sunday Philippe Streiff, former F1 driver victim of F1 accident in 1989, broke the silence in the columns of Paris . He explained that the German “begins to recognize his own.” Then he adds that he “still has not regained the use of the word” and still has “major memory problems.” Information that says Professor Seillant keep close to the Schumacher family since his accident at Silverstone in 1999. In the evening, Professor denied his remarks to AFP. Streiff nevertheless taking precautions to ensure in the interview that “we can not say anything, plan anything.” The most grueling race of life of Michael Schumacher thus continues one year to the day after his accident.

Top 14: the French stage off a dull Toulon – L’Express

The Parisian club, with 44 points, now has two steps ahead of the Var (2nd) and three in Clermont (3rd). It can also be satisfied with taking the particular difference in RCT, already beaten 28-24 on the way to Mayol, an advantage that could be decisive at the time of the end of season accounts.

This uneven quality of the game, we particularly note the first half hour controlled men of Gonzalo Quesada and last four minutes conducted briskly. Despite ten minutes played against 13 to 15 late in the first period, the French stage then gradually faded and the second period proved lackluster overall.

It must be said that the RCT with a mixed team combining managers and regular substitutes, proposed a very messy opposition sometimes undisciplined and away from its highest standards.

No doubt the manager will wait Laporte better of his troops in Montpellier next Saturday for a meeting that looks attractive given the internal climate stirred in the Hérault.

Var will cure their particular began, which was not the case at Jean-Bouin. Completely smothered by the Parisians, they saw Sergio Parisse collapse in their in-goal in the 4th minute after a nice collective movement.

-Toulon 13 –

Trailing 7-0, they then suffered enormously to the ground where the Paris imposed its pack law. Foot, Jules Plisson added three penalties to bring the lead to 16-0 in the 28th minute.

The table was idyllic for Parisians if they had not then suddenly extinguished as paralyzed by their numerical superiority offered by yellow cards in quick Matias Cortese (27th, high tackle on Julien Tomas) and Virgil Bruni (28th, for lack of anti-backlash on Jules Plisson).

This adversity even had the gift of putting a boost to Toulon which marked their first points on a drop of Nicolas Sanchez (33) and a penalty of Leigh Halfpenny (39).

Not having killed the game on time, Parisians found themselves mired in a second period brackish, to testing at the end of the back of the match replacing Jeremy Sinzelle (76) and the pillar zurabi Zhvania (80) that sealed a victory enhanced somewhat unexpected.

Toulon side, you could regret the missed two drops of Sanchez and a missed penalty Halfpenny that could have given another twist to a party to remember.

Mignoni “Not up” – BBC Sport

28/12 11:30 p.m. – Rugby, Top 14

The coach of the back of Toulon Pierre Mignoni has not digested the delivery of RCT outclassed by the French stage (30 -6): “ It was a complicated event, yes, but we can not accept. I will keep the words that we had for the players. It is not acceptable to make the copy, play that level. I am angry but I hope it’s the players that are first angry. There is no excuse, nor parties, nor cold, nor training. The French stage had the same preparation as us. When one does not mind, you become an average team. To tell you that it is mental, is that we have been better at 13 than 15. It has tightened when we were shorthanded (end of first period, note ) . For the rest, it is a mediocre game. There is a time when we can believe in the game but is it that would have been earned, no. We have not been up “
