Injuries #2

Welcome to Leo's Blog! Since I've been writing about the recent games for the past couple weeks, I think I should focus on some injuries for this week. First up is Sergio "Kun" Agüero. Agüero was injured playing against Crystal Palace where Dunn took on a nasty challenge which caused Agüero's knee injury. He is said to not be back in play for the next month, but is recovering excellently. Another Manchester City injury, midfielder David Silva was taken with an ankle injury and wasn't there in the game of Aguero's injury. He wants to make a return for the Manchester Derby but his ankle prohibits him from training. De Bruyne or Touré are expected to take over his role. An injury in Liverpool might really set the back in their EPL table, as striker Daniel Sturridge was not deemed fit enough to play against Tottenham and was taken off because of an injured knee. He is not expected to be playing next week, but his injury is not too severe. But this final injury is a pretty severe. Congo striker Rudy Ndey isn't a very well-known player, by he might gain some fane after what happened to him. In a match in the African Confederation Cup, Ndey fell over the opposing goalkeeper, landing on his head and twisting his neck. The referee called off the game and instantly sent Ndey to the hospital, where his doctor claimed that he had done serious damage to his fifth and sixth vertebrae, and nearly died. The surgery was successful, but he obviously won't be playing very soon, and might not even fully recover.

Games Week 9

And we're back for even more recent games in the world of international soccer. The stakes are raising and the chances are getting slimmer as more teams are getting taken off. First game for this week is in the BPL, known as the best league in the world. The game was Manchester City vs Newcastle United, and it was no surprise that Man City would've won, but I don't think I would've expected a whopping 6-1 win! And even better, Sergio "Kun" Agüero scored five goals in twenty minutes, and nearly got himself a double-hat trick! After all that excitement, I'm sure Newcastle's manager was very disappointed with his team afterwards. Next comes a 2-0 win by Chelsea against Aston Villa. The so called "best team in the Premier League" lost a game last week to them, which brought them down the leaderboards, but at least they're making a comeback, all thanks to Diego Costa and Alan Hutton, who gave away a second goal with a terrible own goal. Entering a different league now, Bayern Munich played against Werder Bremen and won a deserved 1-0. Bayern Munich are now undefeated and untied for nine consecutive games now, and I'll be absolutely shocked if they lose the title this season. For the final game this week, we move back into the Premier League. Arsenal had beaten Manchester United a couple weeks ago with a great 3-0, and on Saturday, they managed yet another 3-0 victory, this time against Watford FC. The first goal was brought by Alexis Sanchez after he stole the ball after Mesut Özil was fouled and banged in a goal. Next up to score was Giroud, and the third was Aaron Ramsey, who had barely scored his first goal this season. This game moved Arsenal into second place, and the BPL might actually have some challenges on their hands now.

More Games

This week we will be talking about, once again, some recent soccer games. Most leagues' tables are going as expexted, but in some leagues the lower teams are dominating. That isn't the case in Ligue 1, though. PSG's most recent game was against Marseille, where PSG won 2-1 with two penalties
from the amazing Zlatan Ibrahimoviç. Of course, there was never any doubt they'd win, as they are classified as the world-class team of the Ligue 1. Next is a game from the Serie A. A wonderful 4-0 was scored by Napoli against AC Milan. Napoli's team is definitely getting better, and might even match up to the great Juventus. Speaking of Juventus, they recently played a game against Bologna and won 3-1. Though this is a superb scoreline, I think more would've been expected from them judging by how they played last season, but they're holding up very well from the loss of Pirlo, Vidal, and most importantly Carlos Tevez. In the Liga BBVA, the (debatedly) best team in the world, drew a game to Athletico Madrid! This could be very humiliating to Real, especially with Ronaldo in the game, especially if this loses them the Title. Finally, a game in the BPL incredibly humiliates Chelsea FC, the highest-ranked team in the division. Southampton obliterated Chelsea with a 3-1 victory. For Southampton fans, this is a screamer and a step closer to the title of the best League in the world. For Chelsea fans, this was just a huge facepalm and a day to ask themselves "how?"

Recent Games

Welcome to another edition of soccer news on Leo's Blog! This week we'll be talking about recent games that have kicked off the 2015/2016 season. First off is a very debated game in the media, FC Barcelona vs Sevilla FC. Barcelona has won well over sixty championships in its existence, but this 2-1 loss could cost them this season. Luis Suarez is taking most of the blame for not playing well. Next is the Barclays PL game of Arsenal vs Manchester United, where the underdogs of Arsenal won by an astonishing 3-0, all goals scored in twenty minutes. The Gunners are looking a real chance at the title this season. Another BPL game Liverpool drew a game to Everton 1-1, where a goal was scored before halftime by Ings, but Lukaku of Everton leveled everything up just four minutes later. Neither team is expected to win the division this season, but they do still have a chance. Finally, a game against the two best teams in the German Bundesliga, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The game was won by Bayern, though, with a mind-boggling 5-1. Two players almost recieved a hat-trick (three goals in a single match) that game thanks to a penalty taken by Thomas Müller, and judging by that scoreline, there's no doubt that Bayern has the best team in Germany. Thanks for tuning in, see you next time!
