“Thanks to God www.thetopsoccer.com/club-team-kit/manchester-city , I scored my first goal in the Inter shirt today. I’ve worked hard to experience moments like this, and I also want to thank my family. I did feel some fatigue this evening, but I worked hard and am happy with my performance. Scoring two goals early on helped us a lot, and we did well in terms of approaching the match in the right way and getting the result that we wanted. The team are working hard and did so during the winter break too. We all came back in the same physical condition as before.” Those were the words of Brazilian full-back Dalbert in the aftermath of the Nerazzurri’s 6-2 victory over Benevento on last weekend.It was a rare start for the 25-year-old, who has struggled to secure a regular place in Luciano Spalletti’s line-up since joining the club from Nice 18 months ago. Indeed, consistent performances from the likes of Danilo D’Ambrosio and Kwadwo Asamoah have prevented the Rio de Janeiro native from showing what he can do on a more regular basis. His opportunities to do so last season were further diminished by the fact Inter did not have any European matches to contend with, hence Spalletti had to need to rotate the squad to any great extent.Though the Tuscan tactician often speaks highly of Dalbert’s application, desire and work rate in training Cheap Manchester United Soccer Team Uniform , there is a sense that he remains unconvinced by his defensive attributes. Despite being given a solid grounding in terms of tactical understanding during his spell with Portuguese side Vit贸ria de Guimar茫es, it is clear Spalletti does not trust him to stay disciplined against high calibre opposition. That could become a problem, especially when taking into account the aforementioned Asamoah’s injury record in recent years.Throughout last summer’s transfer window, it seemed probable that Dalbert would in fact be allowed to leave Inter, with Marseille and Monaco said to have been interested in securing his services. However, Spalletti decided to give him a second chance to deliver on his potential. Another six months has since passed and he has so far failed to convince the coach that he is a viable long-term solution, which is a pity given he is clearly a very talented individual.That said, he may well be given an opportunity to impress later this month www.thetopsoccer.com/club-team-kit/marseilles , with Inter set to meet Lazio at the quarter-final stage of the Coppa Italia. A double header versus Rapid Vienna in the UEFA Europa League in February could also give Dalbert a platform on which to prove he possesses the skillset required to become a mainstay in the side for years to come. Of course, there is a very long way to go before he reaches such a stage, but there is absolutely no doubt that all the raw ingredients are there for him to play an important part between now and the end of the campaign. GENEVA (AP) — Sport’s highest court will rule this month on how to resolve the chaotic African Champions League final which was abandoned in May when one team stopped playing in protest.The Court of Arbitration for Sport said Monday it set a July 31 deadline for a final decision after both clubs appealed to be awarded the title.The second-leg game between Wydad Casablanca of Morocco and Esperance of Tunisia on May 31 was annulled in a dispute provoked by a video review failure.Wydad walked off in protest in Rades, Tunisia, when its equalizing goal was disallowed for an offside call that television replays showed was incorrect.Players and officials from the Moroccan club demanded a review by the video assistant referee (VAR) system but it was not available. Neither side was told before the game by the Confederation of African Football that the system which should have been installed was not working.Typically in soccer, any team which refuses to play or walks off the field must forfeit the game.However, the African confederation’s executive committee decided on June 5 in Paris to order the second-leg game replayed in a neutral country during July.The controversy is part of a wider crisis for CAF and its president, Ahmad of Madagascar. Ahmad Cheap Real Madrid Soccer Team Uniform , who uses only one name, has been accused of misconduct by senior administrators who were fired in recent weeks and have filed complaints to FIFA’s ethics committee.The court, based in Lausanne, Switzerland, said it registered appeals from both clubs to be declared the winner and awarded the prize money.The eventual winner should represent Africa at the seven-team FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar in December.The court did not give any details of where and when the hearing will take place. In Paris last month, police were called to control fans demonstrating in the street outside the hotel where CAF officials were meeting.The teams drew 1-1 in the first-leg game in Rabat, Morocco, on May 24. One week later www.thetopsoccer.com/club-team-kit/tottenham-hotspur , home team Esperance led 1-0 when Wydad thought it levelled early in the second half.After a long delay on the field, Esperance was awarded the Champions League title before that decision was reversed days later in Paris, on the sidelines of FIFA’s annual meeting.The next day, French authorities detained Ahmad at a luxury hotel in Paris for questioning. They are investigating an equipment deal between a French company and CAF to supply a tournament organized by the African soccer body.FIFA has said it will send its secretary general, Fatma Samoura from Senegal, on a six-month assignment starting Aug. 1 to oversee managing CAF’s business and governance.
