CHELSEA VS LIVERPOOL. WHAT A CLASH!

I decided to refresh my mind by sitting somewhere with the football fans watching this wonderful tie. I can't regret because the game was so entertaining.  Whenever these 2 teams meet, the game becomes more interesting. Whether in the premier league or in champions league, the 2 teams are always fiercely competing from the 1st minute to the last. I didn't see Demba Ba in front there but the striking force for Chelsea was strong enough. Martin Skirtel gave his team a happy new year present in just the 4th minute. In about the first 15 minutes the game was not direct to either team because every team tried to play with caution and the midfield was full of players from both Chelsea and Liverpool. Mamadou Sakho blocked the ball involuntarily to find that he gave a very good pass to Eden Hazard. The boy knows what to do wih such opportunities. The ball was chopped by Hazard and made a sort of bending on the right side of Liverpool's goal. And at last Chelsea equalized.

It needs a single and intelligently estimated touch. That is Etoo's way.

The absence of Steven Gerrard in the midfield was obvious. Liverpool was playing like a team of orphans because Chelsea players stole almost all the moves in front. Oscar was one of the shinning stars in yesterday's game. He moved with the ball on the left side of Liverpool's goal and passed the ball among Liverpool defenders. This made an opportunity to Samuel Etoo, and he punished the goal keeper with a sensational finish to make it 2-1. Fernando Torres came in after Etoo's injury in about 5 minutes to time. He moved with the ball and passed over 2 defenders before he hit the ball, only to find it in the hands of Liverpool Goalie. It was the opportunity for Liverpool to mov into the 3rd position but the game did not offer any possibility for that.

JUMA KASEJA IN HIS NEW TEAM

Juma Kaseja has been serving Simba Sports club for more than 10 years. At the end of the last season the Simba FC administration decided to not give him any new contract. Kaseja is remembered in Simba history especially in the year 2003 when Simba eliminated Zamalek FC of Egypt on penalties. Kaseja was the hero as he managed to save the penalty shots. When Simba came back in Dar es Salaam it was received with glory and cheers from a lot of fans. As Taifa Stars was not performing well internationally, the act of Simba to eliminate Zamalek was taken as a national victory. With all that success Kaseja played his crucial role as a goal keeper.

The 1st round of Vodacom Pemier League has finished. Juma Kaseja was just doing his own exercises under his own program to keep himself in form. Owing to the fact that he did not get the team to play during the 1st round, the national team coach Mr. Kim Poulsen did not include him in the Challenge Cup squad. At Last Yanga decided to sign him and offer him a contract. He is expected to serve Yanga in the second round of Vodacom Premier league which will start next year. Simba management decided to leave Kaseja because of the allegations that he has been performing poorly purposely to let down the team. let us wait and see his new beginning in his new team.
