Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has been one of the most talked about players in world football when it comes to transfers. He has been continuously linked with a move away from the Italian club over the last few years, but any interest has not materialised into a serious offer.

Chelsea have been linked with a move for Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi in the last few weeks. The future of defensive midfielder John obi Mikel has been under major cloud of doubt following interest from Galatasaray.

The Italian international has been constantly linked with a move to the Premier league in the last few years. Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini was a huge fan of his style, and he tried several times to bring the 29-year-old to the Etihad stadium. Following the departure of Mancini, though, the interest from City has cooled off in recent months.

Italy will be taking on Japan in a crucial confederations cup match knowing that they will have the opportunity to seal a place in the semifinals of the tournament with a victory.

However, it is easier said than done according to Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi, who has once again regained his first-team spot within the national team. Japan may be the underdogs going into the match, but the presence of players like Shinji Kagawa makes them extremely dangerous according to De Rossi. The Manchester United midfield man is regarded as one of the finest playmakers with the Japanese squad.

AC Milan come into the second leg against Barcelona in the Champions League with a real chance of progressing to the quarter-final stage of the competition, as they lead the Spanish club 2-0 on aggregate.

This weeks game was definitely one of two halves.

Tailwind lined up with a good formation and gave Manor a midfield battle to start with, both teams struggling to get into each others box.

6 min passed and the first real attack gifted the home team a slender lead which was followed by two more goals to give a half time lead of 3-0.

The weather was dry, the sun shone and the third Tailwind Soccer Sevens tournament was enjoyed by the children and parents of the 34 teams who attended over the weekend.

The U8s enjoyed their first taste of action on the Top Field and took part in a festival of football.

The U9s tournament was won by Watling FC who beat The Redsox 3-0 in the final and the U10s was claimed by Austen Arrowheads who squeezed past the Hurricanes 2-1 after extra time.

The U11s winners were Lions, who beat FC Comets 3-2 in a classic final.

Despite the number of goals scored against the team, many good qualities were shown in this match. Particularly the team’s great reaction in the second half of the match that helped the team to achieve a goal with a smashing shot by Thomas. The opposing team was very well organized and strong and they had one player who throughout the match scored almost all of their goals. Our team continued to be brave and determined throughout the match, showing once again a lot of potential.
