Rejoice football fans: the Premier League is back! Make great goal, Balotelli, Nani, Gareth Bale, David Silva, Rooney, Agüero and Tévez ... «Move on, you got to move on, you got to hit 'em to the hip and get your shake on», says the official music of the proof, Fire, the British Kasabian, which goes back to hear Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The cradle of the ball back to open the doors of mythical stadiums and the best football in the world returns to lawns.
Manchester City returned to the limelight of English football 44 years later. The eyes of the British are placed in Roberto Mancini and company, for wanting the citizens again to celebrate, others because they want to see if the emblem of Manchester is able to follow up on the conquest of the Premier League and UEFA Super Cup or if the success of season 2011/12 was just once.
After spending millions in recent times in this off-season was the Ettihad, opposite. The English champions just invested in hiring of Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell, considered, to 21 years, one of the most promising English players, despite the greed by Robin Van Persie, who did not renew with Arsenal and headed to the rival United.
Be that as it may, the pearls of the squad, with the much coveted as crazy Mario Balotelli at the head, were kept, as well as Kun Agüero, Tévez, Yaya Touré, David Silva, Samir Nasri ... It is not easy to enumerate stars on a squad so stuffed them, which explains the refreio of investors in this market, spared as this forces the alleged crisis.
Highlight, in this particular, for a seemingly renovated Tévez who bet at a time when great to retrieve the prestige lost last season, after some problems with coach Roberto Mancini. The Argentinian has already begun to surprise the technical team and came with less than seven pounds.
The biggest challenge of Mancini is, therefore, to unify the team, since individuals did not lack, entering the new season a step ahead of the competition and by removing all motivation than winning the UEFA Super Cup, a few days ago, represents.
United chasing
If we take into account that in the last ten seasons, the English champion Manchester United was five, we have the notion of supremacy of Sir Alex Ferguson and the company in the latest editions of the Premier League.
So, aside from the pain of not being able to retain the title, the gang of Nani still had to swallow the Toad, frog and, having lost the scepter to the city rival.
But at Old Trafford Sir Alex Ferguson realised that would have to strengthen, and well, your team to be able to reverse the results of last season and has not done so for less: Robin Van Persie, one of the most successful goalscorers last season, left the Arsenal and headed to United, who also secured the signing of Japanese Shinji Kagawa, to Borussia Dortmund.
And now, without Drogba?
No one would argue that 2011/12 season Chelsea would end so well. The conquest of the Champions League win in the final against Bayern Munich, was the best of a season of problems, AutoCAD in the resort and changes of coach-Villas-Boas gave Deputy Di Matteo-seat.
The results were also not great thing and by this the requirement of Roman Abramovich tends to increase and patience running out given the growing millions invested in the team. In addition, the recent loss of the UEFA Super Cup to the City was not a positive entry in the 2012/13 season.
The scenario is more grey if we take into account that the blues have lost the most important player of his squad in recent years: Didier Drogba, who headed to China. In the mention is Eden Hazard, golden boy in Lille and arrives in London with seal of ACE and with the mission to make us forget the Ivorian. Marko Marin, Werder Bremen and Oscar, international, are other hopes of Londoners.
AVB and the new Chair
Tottenham's season has not yet started but the optimism of their supporters takes the better of all his opponents.
The hiring of André Villas-Boas, whose failure at Chelsea doesn't seem to bother the spurs, London and troops encouraged the signings have been adopted by fans of the emblem of White Hart Lane. Jan Vertonghen, who can play on the left, arrived in London from Ajax, and the Icelandic Gylfi Sigurdsson, ex-Swansea, are for now the highlights in the list of signings of Tottenham.
But there are still two names that remain between the wishes of supporters: Hulk, whose hiring seems unlikely given its high price, and Joao Moutinho, increasingly likely given the imminent departure of Luka Modric to Real Madrid.
One of the great Portuguese technical questions through the attack. Adebayor should leave the Club and at this point only counts with Jermain Defoe. The former coach of Chelsea waits for news for offensive, especially if the goal is greater than staying in the top four in the table.
Arsenal invests strong
The last title celebrations at the Emirates Stadium back to the 2003/04 season but the optimism among the arsenal this year is larger, as it proves by spending on signings for the gang of Arsène Wenger, whose loss, and that loss is Robin Van Persie.
Olivier Giroud, abandoned the French champion Montpellier and headed to London, as well as Lukas Podolski, former FC Köln, and the Spaniard Santi Cazorla, all players with proven, capital gains demonstrated maturity and to quickly adapt to British soccer and to his new team.
Liverpool looks back
Missing the big discussions in recent seasons, there is at Anfield a desire that the 2012/13 season again with glory, even more so when we conclude that the last feast of the title between the people of Merseyside emblem dates back to 1989/90 season.
Brendan Rodgers, ex-Swansea City, is the new coach of the reds, who have lost Dirk Kuyt to Fenerbahçe but hired Italian striker Fabio Borini to Rome, the front also Oussama Assaidi the Dutch of Heerenveen and the returns of the young Daniel Pacheco, who last season rode at Rayo Vallecano and Danny Wilson, promising young Scottish was loaned to Blackpool.

Real Madrid wants Modric
Hermeticism, patience and calm. These are the three ingredients of the recipe that Real Madrid has been implemented in Modric operation since the beginning of the first talks with the player and his current club, Tottenham. As it is normal in such cases, it took less convincing to the footballer, among other reasons because its total readiness to play in Real Madrid.
With the English club dialogue has gone through all kinds of situations. From being very close positions - two million euros up-down - to move away significantly, even too much, but at no time have come to shatter. A good sign for the white Executive with many masters in its curriculum in negotiation techniques.
Expected happy ending
The current situation, not by repeating over and over again, no longer news and it is normal that Modric finished signing contract by Real Madrid. When? That's where the white club drive times. If you've waited so far without get nervous, is willing to stand firm on its offer - 30 more variable fixed million - until the 31st of August, date in which ended the summer market.
The time, oddly enough, plays in his favor. Or para to be more exact, against Tottenham, which no longer has more offers by the footballer and is aware that recover you to the cause at this stage and after everything that happened between them, it is virtually impossible. At the same time you are required to sign a replacement.
Mou, of course, would have the player soon and more knowing that your physical condition does not correspond to the level that you currently have your template, but as manager general which is defending the interests of his club. It is the main defender of Modric, but not at any price.
What does seem increasingly clear is that the Real Madrid transfer market begins and ends in the Croatian. Or him, or anyone. Y Su arrival would take the output of a midfielder paired: Sahin, Lass, or barn.
The leading candidate to leave is Turkish, that can to play their last minutes as white player at this stage against Milan. The assignment seems imminent and Arsenal continues to be the most interested, especially if the Song goes into the boat, as it seems.
The right side, hanging
While the intentions and the approaches in the Bernabeu are the exposed, cannot be excluded that there could be surprises in the last days of the market. It is postreras 48-72 hours when more parts move and again this year in which the market has been so stopped... except for the PSG.
The position of right side still still be bent and Kaka there may be some movement, which is not expected today.

Barcelona Loses Against PSG!
We knew that Barcelona does not contest forms, but you forgot the most important thing in the Parc des Princes. The Fund is the Fund and Barcelona went from that in Paris, where tied a game in which he could punch and that was won with one so striking as its orange and yellow Kit 0-2.
The result does not matter because we are talking about a friendly, but that of letting go is not the first time that happens. Avoid this one day more, when almost everything is reduced to the marker, is a challenge for Tito. Barcelona was so superior that it was in the French capital, and was lost with the ornaments. It is the risk of staying only with the preliminaries.
PSG wants to be like the Barcelona; but, for the moment, it is not for that. It is true that Barca did not win you, but was a mirage. Ancelotti was brave with Pastore, Lavezzi, Nene and Ibra, but neither they nor their colleagues smelled it. Barcelona was the only Prince who toured by the Parisian Green Park.
Tito mixed with Alves, Messi, Puyol or Busquets and homegrown Planas, Sergi Roberto and Rafinha. The names are least when philosophy is above everything. Barcelona did not lose his personality and very soon marked. Did Rafinha, the good of the family for Mr Alcantara. Alex swallowed it and the boy thanked him.
PSG went to the locker room without times and chasing the ball as if outside a Hare or Leo. The same, Messi, pardoned a pair of goals in two moves that ended Yes Barcelona, devoted to touch the ball and escondér it to the French. That it happened.
Changes that confuse
Pinto, Bartra, Montoya (played left-handed side) and Dos Santos entered after the break and a few minutes embraced Leo, author of the 0-2, penalty. Alexis cheated the referee and Messi did the same with Sirigu.
Everything seemed to be seen for sentence, but PSG was growing while Barcelona were closing their eyes. There were many more changes, Ibra shortened distances from eleven meters and camera tied in the 82' at the exit of a corner.
Barcelona had all very nice, but stayed as the PSG candidate to compete with the best. Not always have the favor that made him the boat, which then won the trophy in the penalty shootout. It is the least. In summer, football is less football. Calculators are not used.

Cristiano Ronaldo Wants justice
Cristiano Ronaldo: "The Golden Ball?" "I want justice"
Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to ESPN and acknowledged that it makes excited to win the Golden Ball. He believes that the Spanish League is the hardest to win and therefore expected that justice is done. In addition, remember that Madrid and Barca will draw the same difference to their rivals this season.
"I am not going to lie, it would mean much to me, it is something that I always sense because it is something that excited me much to win and also that my coach to win, because we are in the batch of the best." What I want is that justice is done because the most difficult in the World League is the Spanish and compete against a rival like the Barcelona and we were the best. "Why I love win I and my coach," said the Portuguese.
Luso crack spoke about his duel with Leo Messi. "I do not see other colleagues as rivals but as partners." He does his work for Barcelona and I do mine for Madrid, as I also did in Manchester. I am a person who likes challenges and will always be so, but not a challenge with a single player. "I do my job where I play and try to always do our best," he explained.
In his opinion, the differences between Madrid and Barca on the other computers will remain this season. "I don't want to disrespect to other teams, but I think that this year with Madrid and Barcelona will happen the same that last season, a huge difference." "The Premier League does not have that difference because in my opinion in terms of who wins the League is more competitive, but the Spanish League is the most difficult, and competing against a rival like the Barcelona even more".
Cristiano Ronaldo did not believe that the Barcelona change too with Tito Vilanova. "My opinion on the Barcelona won't change much by a coach." The base of the players is the same, the mentality is the same. "Super know that it will be a very difficult game, but we are preparing well, we are quiet, no we are just preparing for this match, but for the rest of the season," he said.
The Portuguese hoped to win the Champions League this season. "Last year we were very close." I think that it is always possible. The factor is a bit also luck, in a short competition you have to have a little luck. I always have the illusion of winning year after year. "I think I want to and I'm hoping that this year we have that urge to win again".
Finally, was asked about his future and whether it is checked out at Real Madrid. "Promises not to do but I'm fine here and I want to fulfill my contract, is already", was completed.
