FIFA 16:Lavezzi meet with Chelsea

Chelsea are interested in signing the Paris Saint-Germain winger Ezequiel Lavezzi, according to Sky Sports Italy.Buy fifa coins and experience new charater you want.

Lavezzi has been linked with a move away from PSG since the summer and it seems that the player is closing in on a January move to the Premier League.

The 30-year-old Argentine's contract with PSG expires in the summer and Chelsea are keen to get him on a bargain.

According to the report, Lavezzi's agent, Alejandro Mazzoni, was in London yesterday for talks with Chelsea and a move could be finalised soon.


The player has also been linked with a move back to Serie A where he enjoyed a very productive spell with Napoli.

Chelsea have struggled with creativity  and goals from wide areas this season after the multi-million-pound signing Pedro Rodriguez failed to make the desired impact. The Spaniard has struggled to fit in since his move from Barcelona and is already being linked with a move away.

Furthermore, Eden Hazard's poor form has been a massive blow for the Blues who relied heavily on the Belgian in the final third. Hazard was the best player at Chelsea last season and bagged 14 goals along with 9 assists in the Premier League.

This season, the Belgian has managed just two assists and has failed to score in 19 Premier League appearances so far.

Lavezzi primarily operates as a wide forward and could add much needed pace and goals to the Chelsea attack. The Argentine has scored 32 goals for PSG over the last three seasons and had a similar goalscoring rate for Napoli as well.

It will be interesting to see if Lavezzi prefers a move to England over a Serie A return.Buy fut16coin

Real Madrid Close to Signing Rodrigo Bentancur

According to reports from Spanish newspaper Marca, Los Blancos are currently locked in negotiations with the Argentinian club, and are hoping to reach an agreement soon.Buy fifa coins and experience new charater you want.

Boca president Daniel Angelici has confirmed that he hasn't received any offer from Real Madrid as yet but the Argentine club would consider offers for the €15 million-rated Uruguayan.

"We have not yet received a formal proposal from Real Madrid for Bentancur," Angelici said. "The number that is being mentioned is not correct. His clause is lower than the figure mentioned."


Serie A giants Juventus have also show an interest, but Madrid are looking to make their move this summer ahead of the possible transfer embargo the club faces.

Madrid have signed several young players in the last 18 months, spending upwards of €35m on Martin Odegaard, Lucas Silva, Jesus Vallejo and Marcos Asensio, and Bentancur would be just the latest in a long line of talented prospects at the club.

Bentancur has been developing at a rapid pace and if Madrid fail to agree a deal now, they might lose the opportunity of singing a highly talented midfielder, as other clubs will start to show an interest as well in near future.Buy fut16coin can upgrade your strength.

Madrid will probably send him on loan and give him the opportunity to continue his development with Boca.

FIFA 16:Infantino Suggest continent-wide World Cup

FIFA should look into staging the World Cup across a continent instead of just one or two countries, UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino said Tuesday as he stepped up campaigning for next month's FIFA election.Buy fut16coin can upgrade your strength.

Infantino promised a bigger World Cup, reforms to scandal-tainted FIFA to create a "credible" global governing body and more money for member nations in his manifesto for the February 26 vote for a new leader.

The Swiss official, who has been right-hand man to suspended UEFA leader Michel Platini for the past seven years, said the World Cup should be expanded to 40 countries from the 32 for the 2018 event in Russia.

Platini and Infantino have also pressed a plan to spread the European Championships across 13 countries from 2020. Infantino said the World Cup could copy the idea.

"FIFA should investigate the possibility of organising the World Cup not only in one or two countries but in a whole region, so enabling several countries to enjoy the honour and benefits of hosting the World Cup," Infantino said.

Under his plan, there would be an "equitable rotation" for staging World Cups, with a continent that has held the contest having to wait at least two tournaments before getting it again.

The World Cup was held in two countries -- in South Korea and Japan -- in 2002 and FIFA said at the time it would be reluctant to repeat the exercise.

Deciding the 2026 World Cup hosts has been put back because of the scandals that have embroiled FIFA under outgoing president Sepp Blatter. Blatter and Platini have both been banned for eight years over a suspect payment.

In the election, Infantino is up against Asian Football Confederation president Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al Khalifa of Bahrain, Prince Ali bin al Hussein, a former FIFA vice president from Jordan, South African business tycoon Tokyo Sexwale and former FIFA official Jerome Champagne of France.

Among major soccer nations, Germany indicated Tuesday it is likely to back Infantino.

German Football Federation president Reinhard Rauball said: "I will recommend that the DFB board picks Gianni Infantino as the candidate we want to support."

Infantino "is someone who knows the business inside out," he added.

"FIFA and football have a lot at stake in this election," Infantino said.

Platini and FIFA president Sepp Blatter were banned from football activities for eight years last month opening up the election battle when Platini withdrew.

All five candidates have promised to clean up the world body after the Blatter-Platini investigation and a US inquiry which has left 39 individuals and two companies facing charges over bribes for football deals.

Infantino proposed a new FIFA Council for key decisions, 12-year term limits for officials including the president, more "independent voices" on key FIFA committees, declaring the remuneration of top FIFA members, naming a chief compliance officer and establishing a fully open tendering process for the body's multi-billion dollar deals.

"Taken together, these changes will, I believe, put FIFA on the path towards restored credibility and integrity," he said.

Infantino also said FIFA should "aim in the future" to channel 50 percent of its revenues to member associations.

Under his plan each of the 209 member associations would get $5 million over four years for football development projects.Buy fifa coins and experience new charater you want. That is more than double the current allowance. They could get another one million dollars in a travel allowance. Regional confederations would get $40 million over four years.

FIFA 16: Tottenham's Young English Vore Play a Importent Role in Team

With an average age of just over 23, Tottenham Hotspur have the youngest squad of all the teams in the Premier League this season.Nowadays, I has concentrated my whole energy upon the FIFA 16 and buy fifa 16 coins. Spurs are comfortably sat in fourth, helped in a way by their reliance on an English core of first team regulars. Three young England internationals – Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Eric Dier – form the crux of the current Spurs side and they have fit in seamlessly with the tactical demands of their manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Alli, in his maiden Premier League campaign, has emerged as one of the standout performers of the season. Deployed in a variety of roles in midfield, he has shined the most as an attacking midfielder. Operating in the '10 space', Alli continually makes runs beyond Kane into the box which has seen him score five goals this season, while his link-up play with Kane has also been key to his side's attacking orientations.

The fact Spurs sold Roberto Soldado to Villarreal last summer points to the general direction Pochettino envisages his team to line up in an offensive sense. Soldado, a penalty box poacher who does little else in areas beyond the 18-yard box, was seen as a misfit in Spurs' system, which under Pochettino has embraced the Argentine's well-documented high pressing tactics as a means to unsettle opponents in their build-up phases.

Kane isn't the archetypal English centre-forward, and the two other forwards Spurs recruited last summer – Son Heung-Min and Clinton N'Jie – aren't typical centre-forwards either. The two summer signings are more comfortable drifting inside from wide areas, and played alongside a partner at their previous clubs. The idea was always to bring in players carrying specific attributes of positional interchanging and playing as part of the team.

That the Kane-Alli partnership has flourished owes much to the frequency with which they interchange positions during a game. Alli is often seen to be the most advanced Spurs attacker when Kane drops short, and in phases where Kane holds his position up front, Alli stays in close proximity to the striker to help facilitate combination plays. In Spurs' 1-1 draw with Everton earlier this year, Kane and Alli were involved in numerous combinations in and around the Everton box, only to be denied by Kane's poor finishing and Everton's last-ditch defending.

It's not only Alli and Kane; the entire Spurs front line are capable of positional interchanges which has been the feature of the Lilywhites' attacking play this season. Saturday's 4-1 win over Sunderland saw several instances of Spurs' positional fluidity; one occasion allowed Kane to have a pop at goal from distance as Mousa Dembele advanced forward with the ball whilst dragging defenders with him before laying the ball back to the England striker.

The immediate understanding between Kane and Alli bodes well for the England national team as well. Son was brought in as a marquee acquisition last summer but has been kept in the shadows by a blooming rapport between the two Englishmen. While Spurs press high up the pitch with their four attackers, their defence hasn't been subjected to much pressure from opponents. Last season, they conceded 13 shots per game, which has improved this term as they are conceding 11 shots per game this season.

While too much shouldn't be read into the influence of Dier in that regard, his adaptability and consequent comfortability has seen Spurs evolve into a sturdier defensive unit this term. From conceding the sixth highest number of goals last season, they now have the meanest defence in the entire division. Dier's impact from his new holding midfield role assumes some significance, although most of the plaudits have gone the way of the central defensive partnership of Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen.

Dier is vital to Pochettino's favoured tactical wing-back switch during games. Spurs rarely play anything aside from their template 4-2-3-1 with two pivots, but Dier's experience as a central defender and a full-back last season has allowed Spurs to easily switch into a more attack-minded shape with the two full-backs playing as auxiliary wingers while Dier slots in as the third centre-back.

That allows the likes of Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen to overload the central space, and also allows more penetration from the sides with the full-backs. Dier's versatility means Spurs are rarely out of shape in defensive transitions and his ability to quickly recycle the ball has also been instrumental in helping Spurs to become more proactive against passive opponents.

Dier has often been the least talked-about of Spurs' young English stars, but his significance is reflected in the way his team go about their job at the attacking end of the pitch.Manage your team and buy fifa coins to upgrade your strength.

Kane, Alli and Dier have been a breath of fresh air in what the wider media have termed an "un-Spursy" season for Spurs. They are three vital cogs in Pochettino's machine that is characterised by attacking interplay, high pressing and solid defending. In what has been a season of myriad narratives, the one that involves the future of the England national team is being written at White Hart Lane.

Rooney help Manchester United 1-0 win Liverpool

Wayne Rooney scored for the fourth consecutive game to give Manchester United a vital 1-0 victory over bitter north-west rival Liverpool at Anfield Sunday.Nowadays, I has concentrated my whole energy upon the FIFA 16 and buy fifa 16 coins.

Both teams had taken part in thrilling 3-3 draws in midweek, but this clash looked set to be scoreless until Rooney popped up to volley home his 78th minute winner.

It was his 176th English Premier League goal, a record for a player for a single club.

The England international striker had been tied on 175 with former Arsenal great Thierry Henry.

The win lifts United to fifth place in the standings, two points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur, which occupies the final Champions League spot.

Liverpool, which had the majority of the play on its home pitch, remains in ninth spot with its fifth league defeat under Jurgen Klopp.

But the visitor had David de Gea to thank for fine stops to deny Emre Can and Roberto Firmino, while Jordan Henderson dragged a good chance wide in a drab first half.


Rooney's clinical finish after Marouane Fellaini's header from a corner rattled the Liverpool crossbar was United's first shot on target.

That statistic did not bother delighted manager Louis van Gaal, who was under pressure before Christmas after a series of poor results and lackluster performances.

"It is a big step in a good direction and I am very happy," he told Sky Sports.

"In the second-half we played much better and kept the ball better and created chances and Wayne Rooney makes the fantastic goal again," added the Dutchman.

Later Sunday, Arsenal battled to a goalless draw at Stoke City to leapfrog unheralded Leicester at the top of the EPL standings on goal difference alone.

Goalkeepers Jack Butland for Stoke and Petr Cech for Arsenal both made vital saves to keep the game scoreless, Stoke staying in seventh spot.

Arsenal, missing the injured Mesut Ozil and not risking a return for Alexis Sanchez, had the better of the possession but needed a pair of superb stops from Cech late on to keep a share of the points.Manage your team and buy fifa coins to upgrade your strength.

The result leaves the Gunners and Leicester tied on 44 points after 22 games, with Manchester City just a point adrift in third.

FIFA 16：Sergio Argentine in 2015

Manchester City's talismanic Argentine striker who's long established himself as the Premier League's finest marksman...

We may have respected their ability with the ball at their feet, but when it comes to the Premier Leagues best and most iconic players, we haven't always been as affectionate as we might, and perhaps should have been.
Alan Shearer was seen as an elbow-happy dullard who relished kicking Neil Lennon's head off. David Beckham was an air-headed buffoon who looked like he got dressed in the dark.Buy fifa coins and experience new charater you want.

There's always something fans will use to avoid admitting respect for their rivals' superstars. Or at least there was until Sergio Aguero came along, smiling as he politely strolled around your club's centre-back before respectfully guiding the ball past your goalkeeper. Again.

That's probably because Aguero is fun - and fun without the needle. In fact, when FFT's Andrew Murray asked him to describe himself in three words back in 2014, he replied: "Fun, calm and a happy father of a spectacular son." As you will have noticed, that was actually 10 words, but he's so nice we'll let him off.
Aguero not only plays with joy etched across his face, but also with the joy in his heart. He has the enthusiasm of a young child still very much in love with the game, and it's typically infectious. He may win his team points on his own, but you get the impression victory isn't the be-all and end-all for the 27-year-old - he just wants to have fun, and for those around him to enjoy themselves, too.

"That's just always been me," the loveable scamp told us last year. "When I was at school, my teachers used to say: ‘OK, OK, Sergio. That's enough now, let's be serious for a minute,' but I'd keep on laughing and enjoying myself just the same. I don't know, I just like felling around a bit and being a joker. On the pitch, I'm not smiling in every minute, but I like enjoying myself because that brings out the best in me."

"I do stuff in any game to have a laugh. I remember once against Newcastle I was stood next to Jonas Gutierrez. [David] Silva was walking over to take the corner and went like this [motions international football sign language for ‘come short'] to me. I turned around to Jonas, a team-mate for years with Argentina, and said: ‘Hey, mate. How's it going?' He goes: ‘Oh, yeah, Kun, you know me. The same as ever. How's the injury?' ‘Yeah, not bad, thanks. Oh, someone's calling you over there.'

A lack of trophies in 2015 may have tested that sunny disposition, but that doesn't mean Aguero doesn't have anything to show for his year. In April, he scored his 100th goal for Manchester City during an entertaining 4-2 defeat at Old Trafford, and the following month he fired home his 26th goal of the Premier League season, securing the Golden Boot ahead of the likes of Diego Costa, Harry Kane and Alexis Sanchez. A run of nine goals in the final seven Premier League matches of the season certainly gave him the edge.

From there it was off to Chile for the Copa America. Aguero took on as big a role as he ever has for the Argentine national team, scoring against Paraguay and Uruguay in the group stages, before netting again against the Paraguayans in the semi-finals. He was substituted long before the penalty shootout that ultimately brought final glory for the host nation.

He started the 2015/16 season with a superb opening goal in a 3-0 victory against Chelsea, using his famed upper-body strength to hold off Nemanja Matic, and nimble footwork to bamboozle Gary Cahill, before tucking the ball past Asmir Begovic.

With Aguero seemingly carrying a knock or strain, it was a month before he scored his next Premier League goal, but when he did - in the 42nd minute of October's home fixture against Newcastle - another four quickly followed. Within 20 minutes. It was almost inhumane - so much so that Manuel Pellegrini showed mercy and substituted his star man. Newcastle's beleaguered defence was eviscerated, but even their fans would still probably sooner have ruffled Aguero's hair than wrung his neck.

The Argentine finally did succumb to injury a week later, having been stretched off with a grade-two hamstring tear in his country's World Cup qualifying defeat to Ecuador. He was sidelined for six weeks. City battled on without him, although they looked near toothless in the goalless draws at Old Trafford and Villa Park.Buy fut16coin can upgrade your strength.
                   
His return to action may have coincided with Manchester City's 4-1 defeat to Liverpool, but even on a hugely frustrating evening for Pellegrini's side at the Etihad Stadium, Aguero was able to score the goal of the night, cutting inside and bending an unstoppable drive past Simon Mignolet. He'll be aiming for team success to match his individual magic in 2016, and could anybody with a heart say he doesn't deserve it?
