Second place will be difficult for Napoli, admits Benitez

Agen bola terpercaya Cityholidaybet.com reported - Napoli boss Rafa Benitez has conceded that second place in Serie A may be beyond his side's reach following their 1-0 defeat to Fiorentina. Joaquin headed home in the closing stages to snatch maximum points for Vincenzo Montella's side after Faouzi Ghoulam was sent off for the hosts. Benitez was proud of his side's efforts, especially in the aftermath of their Europa League exit to Porto, but admitted that the eight-point gap to Roma may now be too big to bridge. "I have to congratulate my players for what they showed in this match," As reported by City Holiday. "Clearly [second is difficult] but playing at this level we can still win a lot of games." "Something is still missing but the team is growing. Now I have to look at all the positive things and to play a match at this level just three days after Porto is positive." "We're prepared for the last nine games." Source http://cityholidaybet.com/

Liverpool star Suarez below only Messi & Ronaldo – Bellamy

Agen bola terpercaya Cityholidaybet.com reported - Cardiff City forward Craig Bellamy believes that there are only two players in the world better than Liverpool star Luis Suarez - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Uruguayan continued his sensational 2013-14 season with a hat-trick in the Reds' 6-3 win in Wales on Saturday, taking his tally to 28 goals in 25 appearances. And Bellamy, a former team-mate of Suarez at Anfield who featured for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men at the Cardiff City Stadium, believes that the 27-year-old is the Premier League's most outstanding player. "There's Messi and then Ronaldo - that is it for the best, best players [in the world] because they have just hit a level that I don't think any of us have ever seen; these guys are hitting 40 or 50 goals a season regularly," As reported by City Holiday. "Then there's a group just beneath that and Luis is at the top of that group. There's no two ways about that." Source http://cityholidaybet.com/

Ramos rages at 'pre-meditated' Clasico defeat

Agen bola terpercaya Cityholidaybet.com reported - Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos claimed Sunday's defeat to Barcelona was "pre-meditated" and insisted he did not foul Neymar in the incident which swung the game the visitors' way. Ramos was sent-off after referee Alberto Undiano adjudged he had brought down the Brazilian in the area midway through the second half as he raced through on goal. Lionel Messi scored from the spot to make it 3-3 and the Barca forward – now the all-time leading goalscorer in Clasico history – added another penalty late on to hand the Blaugrana a win which puts them back in the thick of the title race. "It's always the same. I didn't touch Neymar but there's no point talking about it, it changes nothing," As reported by City Holiday. "Everyone can see what happened today. We could have got something from the game but got nothing." "There are some things you can't fight against. This was pre-meditated." Source http://cityholidaybet.com/

Pique : Ronaldo should stop complaining

Agen bola terpercaya Cityholidaybet.com reported - Gerard Pique has hit back at Cristiano Ronaldo in the wake of the Real Madrid attacker's claims that the referee favoured Barcelona in the Catalans' 4-3 La Liga win on Sunday. Referee Undiano Mallenco played a leading role in the enthralling encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu as he awarded three penalties over the course of the game - two to Barcelona and one to Madrid - and sent off Sergio Ramos, prompting Ronaldo to accuse the official of bias toward the Catalans. However, Pique has stressed that Ronaldo should not be looking for excuses given that the Portugal star was awarded a controversial penalty after being tripped by Dani Alves outside the box. "It's a real shame that Ronaldo is complaining about the referee again after such a great game," As reported by City Holiday. "It is unfair to talk about the referee. He did not have any influence on the final result." Sunday's win saw Barcelona move to within one point of their arch-rivals and joint leaders Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga.

Simeone : Atletico struggled against Betis

Agen bola terpercaya Cityholidaybet.com reported - Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone was thrilled with the way his side ground out their 2-0 win at Real Betis on Sunday. Atletico moved to the top of La Liga with their victory ahead of the clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which came courtesy of goals from Gabi and Diego Costa after the break. Betis battled hard but never recovered from Braian Rodriguez's red card, given for a second bookable offence with 34 minutes to play. Simeone said afterwards: "[I am] happy with the result," As reported by City Holiday. "In the first half we struggled a bit, we played the second much better. Gradually we were getting into the game and taking it to the place we wanted. "Gabi's goal came and that calmed us down. [It] became much more difficult for Betis and we took advantage of that situation to win a very important match for us." Source http://cityholidaybet.com/

Ronaldo : We were playing against 12

Agen bola terpercaya Cityholidaybet.com reported - Cristiano Ronaldo has slammed referee Undiano Mallenco in the wake of Real Madrid's 4-3 La Liga loss against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday evening. Madrid were awarded a controversial spot kick shortly after half-time, but Mallenco also pointed to the spot in Barcelona's favour twice in the remainder of the game - while also dismissing Sergio Ramos - and Ronaldo feels the official deliberately favoured the Catalans. "Undiano Mallenco is not suitable for games like this. We were playing against 12. It's always the same. It's like they don't want us to win and wanted Barcelona back in the title race," As reported by City Holiday. "I am not looking for excuses, but I don't want to stay quiet on this. The referee was not at the required level for a big game like this." "I have been here for five years now and I know how things work. If Barcelona had lost, they would have been out of the title race. I have never seen Real Madrid being favoured by the referees." Source http://cityholidaybet.com/
