Roma Will Not Rule out Selling In-Demand Midfielder Strootman


AS Roma chief Walter Sabatini has expressed their desire to hold on to 24-year-old battling midfielder Kevin Strootman but admits they will not completely rule out selling the Holland international.
“He is an extraordinary player, and these rumours [of his sale] have been based on the desires of other clubs,” said Sabatini, as quoted by reliable Agen Bola indo11.com.
“We want to keep him, he is our point of strength. We hope to see him back in the field with all his powers. He played an exemplary role last season.”
“Of course he is unsellable, but we must contextualize that I do not say he is for sale. We receive offers, protect him and defend him, but I do not know what will happen…”

Schurrle: Chelsea Coach Mourinho Just Like Germany Boss Low


23-year-old Chelsea and Germany attacker Andre Schurrle says Blues head coach Jose Mourinho and Joachim Low, who led the country to win the summer FIFA World Cup in Brazil, are all great characters.
“People keep asking me about the differences between Jose Mourinho and Jogi Low. Both strive for focus and consistency for success,” said Schurrle, as quoted by reliable Agen Bola indo11.com.
“The emphasis of a local club coach, who trains his team on a weekly basis, is of course totally different than if you only got to work with a team every few months for a limited time.”
"Both are great characters, just different in their nature."

Roma Chief Sabatini: We want to bring in PSG youngster Rabiot


AS Roma chief Walter Sabatini has revealed that they are trying to lure young midfielder Adrien Rabiot away from reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain but expects that it would be difficult.
“He is an exceptional player, who has forged ahead. We cannot but follow him, we like him very much,” Sabatini said, as quoted by reliable Agen Bola indo11.com.
“He is a player that we would like and we will discuss him through correct behaviour, we will not wait for a solution to acquire him on a free transfer…”
“If we have the privilege and the desire to negotiate for Rabiot, we will do so in agreement with Paris Saint-Germain.”
“But I believe it will be difficult, as his contract situation is unknown. We will try to work on this as something between clubs of great prestige…”


Real Madrid Target De Sciglio Not for Sale


AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has made it vehemently clear that they will try to hold on to defender Mattia de Sciglio, who is reported to be a target for La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid, as the player is so important to the core of the club.
“De Sciglio is the symbol of Milan’s youth academy, as he arrived at Vismara aged 10 and climbed all the way through the ranks. I told all the young players that our hope is they can become like him,” said Galliani, as quoted by reliable Agen Bola indo11.com.
“Mattia did well for Italy this week in a system that he’s not accustomed to, impressing out wide in a 3-5-2. He is versatile and can play any role, left or right, while he even played centre-back once.”
“If we didn’t have Diego Lopez, we’d put him in goal too!”

Pardew: Newcastle are better this year


Newcastle United gaffer Alan Pardew is of the belief that they have increasingly improved from their last-season flat campaign and feels his job is not under pressure at all despite the Magpies’ slow start in the Premier League this term.
Newcastle are supposed to win their next game.
“I'm afraid it's part and parcel of the Premier League,” said Pardew, as quoted by reliable Agen Bola indo11.com.
“We have not won a game yet, so the teams that haven't won a game, the pressure is on those particular managers - more so on me because of the back end of last year, when we weren't good enough.”
"But I think we're good enough this year and I think our results will reflect that."


Pearson: Cambiasso is now ready for Leicester debut


Leicester City head coach Nigel Pearson insists summer signing Esteban Cambiasso is now ready for Premier League debut against Mark Hughes’s Stoke City on Saturday.
The former Inter Milan star midfielder was an unused substitute in Leicester’s game with Arsenal a fortnight ago.
“Cambiasso is doing very well. He talked about his English not being proficient a couple of weeks ago but he's a very good communicator,” said Pearson, as quoted by reliable Agen Bola indo11.com.
“That's always a big plus when you have a player of his experience and quality.”
“He's had nothing but a positive effect and that is testament to his own ability and character as a person. We're very pleased.”
"He will be a part of the squad just like he was against Arsenal. But I will not show my hand."

Martinez: Man Utd may have been sacred of loaning Cleverley to Everton


According to Everton manager Roberto Martinez, wounded Manchester United were determined not to loan English midfielder Tom Cleverley to the Toffees as Louis van Gaal’s side may see big challenges from Everton who finished above them last term.
"You can look at the table from last season and we finished fifth and they finished a bit lower, so from that respect you can understand," said Martinez, as quoted by reliable Agen Bola indo11.com.
“Maybe they just didn't want to send a player on loan to a club that is going to be challenging for things and finished above them last season, I don't know.”
"I don't think there is any bad feeling between the clubs. The chairman has a very good relationship with Manchester United and, as a football club, we are not carrying any sour grapes about anything."
