Manchester United 50 million to buy more special talent

One by one they got up, the pile of bodies peeling away a player at a time until there were only Braden Holtby Jersey two remaining and the Atlético Madrid captain, Gabi Fernández, lifted Diego Godín to his feet, then left him there. Taking a step back as if dizzy, the man who had laid at the bottom pulled his shirt to his ........ before heading to the centre where cameras catch a lost, stunned look, like he can’t take it in. Stop the tape and you can see the moment he tries to snap himself out of it. It was the final day of the 2013-2014 season and it was actually happening – if they could hang on for 40 minutes more.“We were losing at the Camp Nou against Barcelona, and the league was slipping away – a league we’d fought so hard for, over 38 games. It had taken so much from us, and you knew that in one game all that work could be gone. We were losing, Diego Costa had got injured, Arda Turan had got injured, and everything was uphill,” Godín recalls. All year, people had said Atlético Madrid would fall away and, he admits, they “fed” on that, rebelling, but now they were falling at the last. And then, he scored the biggest goal in their history to ultimately earn a 1-1 draw, and the title.“We knew it was back in our hands and there was a relief; you feel your ....... filling again,” he says. “At the end, you let go: all the happiness and tension. There had been a huge buildup of emotion all year, it had been hard, intense, and for that goal to have give us the title was incredible.”That is one word for it. Diego http://www.authenticcapitalshop.com/authentic-10-brett-connolly-jersey.html Simeone, the coach, had called it “impossible”, thus proving that nothing is. When Atlético became La Liga champions, he took the microphone during celebrations, a quarter of a million people on the Madrid streets, and made it a lesson in life. “This is not just a league,” he said, “what this triumph transmits is much more than that: if you believe and work, you can do it.” There had been applause from the Camp Nou. Although Barcelona had been defeated, it was something to recognise and be thankful for – almost as if this was everyone’s title.Two years later, it happened again. Sitting in the stands at Atlético’s Cerro de Espino training ground, 20km northwest of Madrid, Godín says: “I was really pleased and I think the immense majority of football lovers, fans everywhere, would have felt the same way. To see a small, modest team built on hard work, where the players are so close, so together, win week after week, stay up there and play so well, when they’re so consistent and they win the league, that makes people take them to their hearts.”He is not talking about Atlético, although he could be; he is talking about Leicester City. “Personally, I think it’s wonderful,” Godín says. “I’m sure lots of people would have fallen in love with Leicester a bit. It makes you happy things like that can happen in football.”Godín, a fan who admits Cory Harkey Jersey to being enamoured with the game, an obsessive watching endless matches, did not just enjoy Leicester winning the league; he identified with it. One of the recurring themes of this quarter-final is the sense that these teams share something. Atlético Madrid did a Leicester before Leicester did. There was even a parallel with their last goal before being Champions, two centre-backs scoring at the biggest ground in the country: Wes Morgan at Old Trafford, Diego Godín at the Camp Nou.True, Atlético’s title was their 10th, not the first, but it really might have been the most impressive in Spanish history. It was never a target, Godín admits, and it wasn’t until they beat Athletic Bilbao in late March that Simeone even thought it possible, although Godín places it a sooner, saying: “we started to believe around February”. And even then, a last minute save from Málaga’s Willy Caballero denied them on the penultimate weekend, obliging them to go to the Camp Nou and take the title from Barcelona. Granada have been in the relegation zone for 27 weeks. This has been likely right from the start: they were built this way. Those chants were not new, even if more common than chants is indifference, resignation. When it came to singling out guilty parties, only Sergi Vieta, the director general, was named. They had come prepared: a banner at one end demanded: “Directiva, dimisión!”. Directors, resign! Others Cory Harkey Jersey were handily translated into Chinese, so the club’s owners could understand. One fan held a message aimed for the players: “We can’t ask you to love the badge, only to justify your salary (you have seven chances left).” Make that six. And while it’s a facile accusation, all too easily applied – “players, mercenaries!” got another outing here – it is understandable.
