Ace or X15

Recently, sports equipment manufacturers, Adidas has introduced to new silos for cleats which is Adidas Ace15 and X15. From my understanding, with the production of this two model, there will be no more models like Predator, F50 and so on. According to Adidas, this two new model will brings a huge improvement from any other models before.

For a simple review I'm gonna start with Adidas Ace 15. According to Adidas Team, this model specially for ball control which is for midfielder or defenders. A control web around the instep gives extra traction while the new studs helps with stopovers as well as player overall touch.

Surely we can expect players who are sponsored by Adidas like Mesut Ozil, Ivan Rakitic and James Rodriguez to worn this brand new cleats for the new season.

Meanwhile, for strikers worldwide, Adidas also brings something new for them. As far as i know, Adidas are famous amongst great strikers in the world like Luis Suarez and Karim Benzema. Adidas has revealed alongside Ace15, the new beast , X15.

Adidas X15 are specifically designed to function monstrously and deadly in front of the goal

 and  we all hope they can become iconic  and long lasting as Predator model before who shake the goals worldwide.

Here are the sneakpeak of Adidas X15

Okay, the first kit that really attract my attention this season is Manchester United home kit by Adidas. 2015 marks the year as Adidas came back as Man Utd shirt sponsor after losing its right to NIke and Umbro for so many years. And surely Adidas make a great job with their comeback with this new one.

And below is picture three of Man United first team player, Young, Mata and Blind showing off their new kits.

Young, Mata and Blind

Another intersting kit for the new season is surely my favourite football club which is Arsenal. The new home kit only brings a new improvment in collar and nothing major is done by PUMA. But, BUT for the new away kits, there are everything that Puma brings in. Okay, lets have quick look at the new Arsenal away kit for 2015-2016 season

With the transfer are market going very active at this time and there are still team who making their last minute purchase, we are going to review which top clubs in Europe who will make our top 3 list for the next upcoming season. This list are based on my personal opinion and judgement based on current situation in each teams.

Making number one in our list is former European champions back in 2014, REAL MADRID CF.

Ronaldo and Co are doing very well in their preseason tour, winning 4-1 against Manchester surely send the messages to all their enemy that they are coming stronger this season after losing La Liga and Champions league last season. Everything seems to be in the right order for Galacticos even after losing their legendary goalkeeper ,Iker Casillas to FC Porto. Even without making any major signing, the teams are already looks stronger than any other teams.

In number 2 spot is Manchester United. The English clubs are looking extremely ready for the next season after their new manager, Louis van Gaal making a huge spending in the summer transfer market. Memphis Depay, Morgan Schenedeirlin and Bastian Schwestengeir are among the new faces bringing in to OLd Trafford. First time coming back to play in Champions League after a few season left out of the competition, they shocked so many people with abig 7-1 win against FC Basel in UEFA Champions League Playoff round and make it to the group stage. Surely any other clubs needs to do a little homework befor taking Van Gaals man after this.

In number 3 spots is Chelsea FC from English Premier League.

Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho looks like he doesn't want losing the Premiership title again this season. However it was all messed up for Mourinho camp in the first two league games of new season where they only picked two points from two match. after realized that it was his  mistakes, Mourinho doesnt wait too long to secure world class striker signature from FC Barcelona,Pedro to help them in surviving this season. Pedro arrived to Stamford Bridge for an estimated value of 30 millions. Not much can say about Pedro where he already make a good impressions in his first appearances whern he helped them to win first 3 points. Surely a good signing and others team may only gets a little worried after this.

Transfer Market Highlights

Clubs around Europe are improving their side by participating actively in the transfer market this summer. Manchester Utd and their bitter rival, Liverpool are the two most active team during this transfer market. Looks like they are prepared for the next season and surely to bo the title contenders in the Premier League. Players around the world are busy doing their medical at their new clubs and managers for every team looking to strengthened their team by signing the essential player for the upcoming season. Today we are going to look at the transfers that catched our eye in this summer.

Starting with English Premier League, it is a busy summer for all clubs in preparing their teams for the next season. Liverpool is the most active team as they successfully landed players like Christian Benteke from Aston Villa, Roberto Firmino and James Milner. For Firmino only, they paid amount as large as 28 million pounds to the player's old club TSG Hoffenheim (German Bundesliga) to welcomed the Brazilian international to Anfield.

Meanwhile, in Manchester, both City and United are spending serious money for the upcoming battle. City break the records for the most expensive British player by signing Raheem Sterling from Liverpool for a value estimated around 49 million. The highest fee of any English players in history.

For Arsenal , they managed to captured three times Premier League Golden Glove winners Petr Cech from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee. It is surely an answer for Arsene Wenger squad who have a real trouble with goalkeeping for the last few season. 

 Meanwhile, in United camp, Louis Van Gaal are bringing his own kind from Netherland, the young starlet who plays for Holland and Ajax last season, Memphis Depay to strengthen their attacking option . 

The Next FIFA Presidency Election. Whose Side Are We

Well, it is fair to say that FIFA really need a new leader after the revelation of tax fraud, racketeering and money laundering in order to put 'football' back to its place, to the right track.

Not long after Sepp Blater announce his resignation from world biggest football body, FIFA there are already a line of candidates whose going to take his post in the 65th  FIFA Congress that will be held at Hallenstadion in Zurich this 29 May.

In this post, we will discuss who are they and asked whether they have what it takes to be the football leaders for the next five years.

These are the top two candidates according to Mirror.com and here they are

1. In number 1 spot, the current UEFA President ad former French national, Michael Platini.

Platini is best known during his playing days as one of Juventus and French great who lifted the famous 1984 UEFA Football Championship and had won three Ballon D Or in three consecutive year in 1984,85 and 86. 

From management's aspect, this guy has run UEFA since 2007 and there is no doubt that he will do just fine as the next FIFA President if based on his records at European stage.

2. Luis Figo

Figo, former Real Madrid , Barcelona and Inter Milan player back in his time is the second most popular candidate to compete for presidency post in the next FIFA Congress.  

In my opinion, as a player he might be as great as Platini, but in management field, he is second to nothing if compared to Platini. Organising FIFA is absolutely no kids job and i am not pretty sure it is for Figo. Maybe in the next ten years, he would. But for now, Platini is the change that football needs.
