The mentor of the national football team of Brazil Tite did not include the captain of Argentina Lionel Messi among the three choices for the award of FIFA for the best football player.
The first one is captain of Portugal`s Cristiano Ronaldo, the Brazilian Neymar occupies the second position, and the French national team top scorer Antoine Griezmann complements the top three in the opinion of the specialist.
`Messi is the best player in the world, but in the last season, Cristiano Ronaldo was the best footballer.`, said Tite.
`In their competition last year, Cristiano was the better. After him, I have to put Neymar, and then Griezmann. I left Messi out of the top three because of his injuries. For me, the best one was Cristiano because he is the most direct and most emphatic in front of goals.`, added Tite.
Last year the prize was won by Messi and Ronaldo remained after him and then it was Neymar. The last time the most precious individual honors in football were won by the Brazilian in 2005 when Ronaldinho reigns got the award.

`The presence of Mourinho was crucial. The team that signed this season, is not as strong as the one that left. There was, however, how to say "no" to Mourinho.`, said the Swedish player.
`When he called me, the only thing I had to figure out was when my submission. Money has never been a problem. For me coming to United was a challenge and I never refuse a challenge. It motivates me to play for one of the biggest clubs via sure games in the world, which, however, has had some problems recently and I can help it earn trophies again.`, said Ibrahimovic.
`Since the beginning, I have been repeating that we are not the favorites and outsiders. People are enthusiastic about the new additions, but they forget that the club has not become a champion for several years. At the beginning, we had started well, but then some losses came. We have definitely got a lot more work to be done.`, added the Swedish footballer.
Manchester United is on the sixth place in the Premier League and is lagging with 9 points behind the leader Chelsea.

Mane became the leader in Liverpool
When in the spring of 2013/14 season it became clear that Sadio Mane (24) will leave Red Bull Salzburg, Jurgen Klopp requests him in Borussia Dortmund. Liverpool also wanted to attract him and was willing to give 10 million pounds, but the deal eventually fell through for other reasons. The data of the scouting software of the team suggested that the player is unfit for the Premier League.
This error was corrected until this summer, but for a lot more money. Mane arrived at the Anfield from Southampton for 30 million pounds to play under the direction of Klopp. The deal could be justified with unnatural causes such as fate but could be taken as logical.
Because with 6 goals and 2 assists in 11 Championship matches Mane is among the leaders of Liverpool, and thanks to his movement and explosivity the team of Klopp gained a finished look. The problem, however, is that in January and February he is going to miss a lot of games because of his involvement for the matches of his native Senegal in the tournament via 11livestream the Cup of African Nations.

Sterling: `Pep got back the football, which Pellegrini took away from me.`
The Manchester City player Raheem Stirling admitted that he receives much greater freedom in his game by confident picks from the manager Josep Guardiola and that is the main reason to perform more strongly than he did with Manuel Pellegrini as a head coach.
Before the start of the last season, the English player went from Liverpool to Manchester City for 49 million pounds, having had a difficult debut campaign with the team of the Citizens. To the end, he used to sit on the bench and came in as a backup. This has led to doubts whether the former ace of the Merseysiders was worth the money, but now similar questions seem irrelevant.
Against Barcelona in the Champions League last night, he reported with an assist on a 3:1 success. `I enjoy working with Guardiola. I feel more freedom, I feel that I can play a bit more with the ball and I can express myself with every touch and experience for dribbling.`, said Sterling.
`Under the leadership of the previous coach, I think - not to say something negative - it was different. At the workouts, we always strived to play with a maximum of two touches, so got used to it and more or less you forget your identity and how to play football.`
`That`s not my style. My game by confident picks is to get the ball and try to get past opponents. Now I learn how to interleave, so as not to end up at a dead end each time. I`m trying to figure out when to play with two touches and when to pass near the defender.`, added Sterling.
