Lovren Takes Swipe at Manchester Clubs

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has taken a swipe at rivals like Manchester City and Manchester United by claiming that it takes more than just money in order to get success. Liverpool have been able to finish in the top four while qualifying for the final of the Champions League in Kiev. The Reds will be taking on Real Madrid looking to win the Champions League for a sixth time.

Even though Manchester City have set new records in the division, they have once again failed to get the results when it comes to Europe. This is despite manager Pep Guardiola being given clear instructions to concentrate on Europe. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager brought in a raft of new signings at expensive and inflated prices. Continue reading Lovren Takes Swipe at Manchester Clubs

“I’m always happy to be back here. It’s really an experience. It’s so difficult to explain what being here means to me, because I can never really put the feeling into words,” the passionate Agger told Goal.

“Quickly, it was like I belonged, and the longer you’re in a place that suits you, the more it gets under your skin and becomes a part of you. The people, the place, just everything about it felt right, which is why I stayed here for almost nine years,” Agger added. Continue reading DANIEL AGGER ON RETURN TO LIVERPOOL

Calum Chambers says that he is extremely happy with his first season at the club

Arsenal defender Calum Chambers says that he is extremely happy with his first season at the club.

The young England star moved to Arsenal from Southampton in a £ 16 million deal, which raised a few eyebrows since he was yet to prove at the very top level. Still just 20 years old, it is expected that he has a long time to go before he reaches the peak of his career. However, he has impressed everyone at the Emirates stadium sufficiently after just 12 months at the club. Chambers had to be utilised in a number of positions last season due to the injuries and suspensions.

Even though he is primarily a rightback, Chambers showed last season that he is equally good at playing as a central defender. It is expected that he will replace Per Mertesacker or Laurent Koscielny if he continues on this kind of form. He made 28 appearances in all competitions and scored one goal. More importantly, his performances helped Arsenal capture the FA Cup for a second consecutive campaign. One of priorities for Chambers next season will be to avoid the niggling injuries that troubled him last season. The 20-year-old did not feature for Arsenal after the win over Burnley in April.
