Balotelli Nihil Gol di AC Milan

AFP/DARIO AZZARO

Liga Italia - Mario Balotelli sempat mengalami masa-masa sulit ketika ia tak mencetak gol tempo hari. Tapi ketika kembali tajam, Balotelli ingin terus mempertahankannya.

Balotelli sempat lebih dari sebulan tak bikin gol untuk AC Milan dan juga timnas Italia. Setelah bikin gol ke gawang Ajax Amsterdam di matchday 2, pemain 23 tahun itu berturut-turut puasa menjebol jala lawan dalam delapan laga beruntun.

Performa itu kemudian membuat Balotelli mendapat banyak kritik dan ia pun sempat ditepikan oleh Massimiliano Allegri. Hal ini boleh jadi tak mengenakkan untuk Balotelli yang di enam bulan pertama kedatangannya, dipuja-puja oleh fans dan juga rekan setimnya.

Tapi Balotelli berhasil bangkit dan di dua laga terakhir bersama Milan, yakni melawan Celtic dan Catania, eks pemain Manchester City dan Inter Milan itu bikin dua gol. Balotelli pun menambah jumlah golnya jadi empat dari sembilan pertandingan di seluruh kompetisi.

Berhasil menuntaskan puasa golnya itu sudah bikin lega Balotelli dan ia pun bertekad untuk meneruskan torehan golnya di laga-laga mendatang demi memperbaiki performa Rossoneri.

"Pria sejati hanya bisa dilihat saat ada masa-masa sulit. Tugas kita untuk membuktikan diri sendiri sekarang. Kita berhutang pada diri sendiri, klub, dan juga fans Rossoneri," ujar Balotelli di Football Italia.

"Ini masa-masa yang sulit, tapi tantangan untuk kami agar tetap tegar dan bisa kembali menang dengan selalu bermain seperti standar Milan," sambungnya.

"Aku ingin menjadi pemimpin tim ini lagi. Usai beberapa kesalahan, ini waktunya untuk terus bikin gol tanpa henti," demikian dia.

Arsenal Hadapi Jadwal Super Berat

Liga Inggris - Arsenal belum bisa sepenuhnya menarik napas lega setelah mengalahkan Hull City 2-0.The Gunners kini mesti segera bersiap menghadapi jadwal berat sampai dua pekan ke depan.

Tampil di Emirates, Kamis (5/12/2013) dinihari WIB, Nicklas Bendtner dan Mesut Oezil mencetak gol untuk memberi Arsenal poin penuh. Kemenangan ini menjaga posisi pasukan Arsene Wenger ini tetap di peringkat teratas dengan selish empat angka dari rival terdekatnya Chelsea.

Selanjutnya, Oezil dkk. akan disambangi tim peringkat kelima Everton pada Minggu (8/12). The Toffees sedang pede-pedenya usai dinihari tadi mengalahkan juara bertahan Manchester United 1-0 yang mana memperpanjang rentetan tidak terkalahkan menjadi delapan laga.

Manajer Everton Roberto Martinez sendiri sempat mengungkapkan ambisinya mendapatkan kemenangan di Old Trafford-- sudah tercapai--dan di markas Arsenal.

Setelah itu, Arsenal akan bertarung di Erop dengan melawat ke markas Napoli dalam laga terakhir Grup F. Tim London Utara ini cuma butuh satu angka untuk memastikan lolos sekaligus juara grup namun hal itu niscaya tak akan mudah.

Pasalnya, Napoli yang ada di urutan ketiga dengan sembilan angka dan akan tampil habis-habisan untuk mengincar kemenangan dengan selisih tiga gol sebagai syarat lolos ke babak berikutnya.

Usai perjalanan ke Italia, Arsenal bakal ke Manchester untuk menantang Manchester City di Etihad (14/12). Bagi kedua tim, khususnya City, pertandingan ini amat krusial dalam peluang mereka meraih titel juara. Keduanya hanya berjarak enam poin

Sekitar sembilan hari berselang, Arsenal akan kembali menjalani duel krusial dengan menghadapi rival besar sesama penghuni London, Chelsea.

Dengan fakta ini, Wenger mesti memutar otak dan pintar-pintar merotasi timnya agar tetap bugar dan siap mengarungi periode berat itu.

"Kami punya jadwal yang sangat, sangat berat, jadi itulah mengapa saya harus mengistirahatkan sejumlah pemain hari ini dan melakukan rotasi," ungkap manajer Arsenal ini di situs resmi klub.

"Sekarang kami bermain melawan Everton di hari Minggu, ada jeda sebentar di antara Everton (dan laga melawan Napoli) Kami bermain di hari Rabu malam di Naples dan Sabtu pagi di Manchester City, jadi bagi kami ini jadwal yang sungguh, sungguh berat."

Menanti Aksi Jordi Alba di Copa Del Rey

Copa Del Rey - Kabar baik bagi Barcelona terkait kondisi bek kiri andalannya, Jordi Alba, yang sudah fit dan mungkin bisa bermain di Copa del Rey besok setelah absen cukup lama.

Alba terakhir kali tampil adalah awal Oktober lalu dan ia kemudian absen sekitar dua bulan karena cedera hamstring yang membebatnya. Setelah cederanya Alba, berturut-turut 5-6 pemain Los Culeslainnya masuk ruang perawatan termasuk Lionel Messi.

Kini satu per satu pemain sudah mulai pulih dan di antaranya adalah Alba yang sejak awal pekan ini sudah berlatih lagi bersama rekan-rekannya. Bek 24 tahun itu direncanakan akan tampil lagi untuk Barca ketika melawat ke Cartagena di leg I Babak 32 Besar Copa del Rey, Sabtu (7/12) dinihari WIB.

"Tim utama sedang melanjutkan sesi persiapan untuk laga Copa del Rey melawan Cartagena. Sesi latihan dilakukan bersama Barca B, di lapangan nomor dua di Ciudad Deportiva. Seluruh pemain yang ada ambil bagian termasuk Jordi Alba, yang sudah kembali sehari sebelumnya ke tim," ujar Barca dalam rilis resminya seperti dilansir Soccernet.

Meski sudah bisa memainkan Alba, tapi Barca masih dipusingkan dengan kondisi Andres Iniesta dan Xavi Hernandez yang ditarik keluar dalam laga kontra Athletic Bilbao lalu. Kedua pemain itu berlatih terpisah selama pekan ini.

"Terkait Xavi dan Iniesta, dua pemain itu melakukan sesi khusus. Pemain asli Terrassa (Xavi) punya masalah dengan otot betis di kaki kananya, sementara Barca nomor '8' bermasalah dengan otot hamstring kirinya."

Selain kedua pemain itu, Barca sepertinya masih akan berhati-hati memainkan Carles Puyol yang sudah turun bermain di empat laga terakhir. Sebab bek 35 tahun itu disebut kembali mengalami masalah pada lututnya yang baru saja dioperasi.

PSSI Tetapkan Tiga Kriteria

PSSI - Terkait aspek financial dalam verifikasi klub untuk unifikasi liga musim depan, PSSI menetapkan tiga kriteria penilain. Ketiga hal tersebut adalah audit musim sebelumnya, proyeksi satu musim dan tak punya tunggakan gaji.

Kamis (5/11/2013) ini menjadi batas waktu buat klub-klub menyerahkan kelengkapan berkas menjelang dilakukannya verifikasi. Seperti telah ditetapkan PSSI sebelumnya, ada lima syarat yang wajib dipenuhi klub untuk bisa lolos verifikasi yakni administrasi dan personal, sporting, legal, infrastruktur dan finansial.

Terkait aspek finansial, PSSI menyatakan ada tiga parameter yang menjadi pertimbangan untuk diverifikasi. Ketiga alat ukur tersebut adalah laporan audit musim sebelumnya, proyeksi untuk klub satu musim ke depan dan berstatus tidak punya tunggakan gaji pemain.

"Departemen lisensi sedang bekerja mengumpulkan data dan tanggal 10 (Desember) komite lisensi akan sidang pleno dan memutuskan di mana potret seluruh klub," ujar Sekjen PSSI Joko Driyono, Kamis (5/12/2013).

"Kami berbicara tiga parameter khususnya financial, yaitu audit report musim sebelumnya, bagaimana proyeksi keuangan klub untuk satu musim ke depan dan status tidak punya tunggakan. Kalau bicara hebat atau tidaknya mungkin bisa dilihat dari financial reportnya itu," lanjut dia.

Pada kenyataanya, jelang proses verifikasi banyak klub-klub yang masih menunggak gaji pemain, seperti Persija Jakarta dan Sriwijaya FC. Terkait hal itu, Joko menyebut PSSI akan melihat laporan keuangan masing-masing klub terlebih dulu.

"PSSI akan melihatnya dari financial reportnya dan dan seluruh kontrak pemain ada di kami dan klub juga report. Kalau report klub palsu akan kami hukum. Saya kira itu tidak akan sulit karena aspek keuangan sangat mudah lihat," jelasnya.

He received more playing time and would retain his first team status.^[jargon] That season, Kawasaki Frontale became the first Japanese club to qualify for the 2007 AFC Champions League where they finished first in their group stage. In the knockout rounds, Kawashima allowed no regulation goals in the quarterfinals against Iran's Sepahan club, but lost the penalty shoot-out.In 2004, Kawashima joined Nagoya Grampus in Japan's J. League.

After being confronted by Kawashima, the referee halted the match for several minutes until order was restored. After the match had ended in a 1–1 draw, Kawashima left the pitch in tears, visibly upset at the insults. Kawashima said, "I can pass on many things, but not that. This is not funny. Using the drama of Fukushima in this manner is not at all funny."^[9]

Beerschot released a club statement on the incident: "Our fans have crossed a thin line where a bit of fun turns into something serious. The chants aimed at Lierse goalkeeper Kawashima were offensive and completely out of order". However, Beerschot said that Kawashima was partly to blame: "The Lierse shot-stopper also took part in this as he provoked the Beerschot fans with offensive gestures and facial expressions. Our own goalkeeper Stijn Stijnen on the other hand never reacted to abusive chants and insults from the Lierse faithful." Beerschot further emphasized that it is completely unacceptable to assert insults of this nature.^[10] The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) fined Beerschot 30,000 Swiss francs (¥2.7 million, or US$34,920) and RBFA officials apologized not only to Kawashima, but also to Atsushi Yokota, the Japanese Ambassador to Belgium, over the incident.^[11] In contrast, Lierse protested to the RBFA,^[12] that caused the uproar is Beerschot posted an apology in Japanese officials,^[13] On 22 September, Beerschot formally apologized to Kawashima.^[14][15]

Playing career

He was educated at and played for Kagoshima Jitsugyo High School and Hannan University. He was on trial with several J. League clubs before the graduation from his high school but failed to convince any club to sign him. He decided to continue his study and football at Hannan University. When he was at the university, he was a member of the Japan team that won the 23rd Universiade football competition hosted by İzmir, Turkey.

His good form in the Kansai university League was recoginised by Japan's youth team coach Kiyoshi Okuma who included him in the squad for the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship finals.

He signed with F.C. Tokyo after a successful trial and he took a leave of absence from the university with which he is still enrolled as of April 2008. Manager Alexandre Gallo immediately established him as a starting member in his midfield.

He received a call-up twice in 2006 for the national squad. Then he was a late replacement for injured Ryuji Bando for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup finals but did not play in the competition.

He was transferred to reigning J. League champions Kashima in 2008. He was a key member of the Japan's Under 23 team, however he failed to join the U-23 squad to compete the Beijing Olympics football competition.

He was included in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup finals and made his full international debut on 17 January 2011 against Saudi Arabia.^[1] In a game against Qatar, in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, he scored a goal in minute 89' of the game.^[1] The game ended 3–2, a win for Japan.

In the summer transfer window of 2011 he moved to Croatian giant Hajduk Split.^[2] He scored his only goal for Hajduk in a 3–0 away from home victory over newly promoted side Lučko on 21 October 2011. He struggled to adapt to Croatian life, stating reasons such as difficulty to learn he new language and no other Asian players in the side as main factors. On 17 January 2012, he skipped training for the first time due to unpaid wages. The unpaid wages were due to the debt of Hajduk Split and many players were unpaid during his stay at the club. He was fined by the club for missing three training sessions before finally rescinding his contract and returning to Japan in late January 2012. He made 16 appearances in his single season for Hajduk Split. Upon leaving, Masahiko stated: "In my entire career, I have never been as sad as I was in the last two weeks."

Masahiko signed for Vissel Kobe as a free agent in early 2012.
