No Santana move to Spurs

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 22nd, 2008

Fiorentina have denied that they have agreed to sell winger Mario Santana to Spurs.

The Sun newspaper quoted Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino saying that a £4m bid had been accepted.

A statement on the Serie A club’s official website said: “Fiorentina want to make it clear that Corvino never released any statement to The Sun newspaper about the alleged sale of Santana to Tottenham,”

Are Fiorentina lying or did The Sun newspaper make it up?

Bilic: ‘Luka played phenomenally’

Posted by Stevio in Miscellaneous on June 21st, 2008

Croatian national manager Slaven Bilic has praised midfielder Luka Modric for his performances during Euro 2008.

This comes after Luka missed the opening penalty in a shootout with Turkey that his team eventually lost 3-1 on.

The match had gone to penalties after ending 1-1 after extra time.

Bilic said: “Luka played phenomenally and he certainly didn’t deserve to miss that penalty. Throughout this tournament he was the maestro.

“As for Turkey this is the third match they’ve won in this extreme fashion. If they continued to be lucky and they don’t give up they might reach the final.

“It’s obvious they don’t just have quality but something else too and that’s something you need in football.

“But I want to congratulate both teams for a great game of football.

“This match shows why it’s the most dramatic and most popular game in the world.

“My players put in a heroic performance and I can have no complaints about any of them.”
