			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Finance:</strong><br />
According to the website sporting intelligence Real Madrid and Manchester United are the two clubs in the world selling the most soccer jerseys. The sales are based on the years 2005-2009 a period in which Cristiano Ronaldo played with both clubs.<br />
The figures for the two clubs range from 1.2 &#8211; 1.5 million sold years a year throughout this period of time.<br />
If one looks exclusively at the seasons 2009/10 and 2010/11 one might expect that Real Madrid holds the lead since the move of Ronaldo to Madrid has surely played a factor in the sales for both clubs.<br />
FC Barcelona comes in third with a maximum of 1.2 million sold units a season throughout the period of time under investigation.</p>
<ul><a href="http://www.sportingintelligence.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Best-selling-shirts31.8.10.jpg">Worlds best selling soccer jerseys</a></ul>
<p>The only club not featuring over the clubs selling the most jerseys but being on the top 10 of Deloitte&#8217;s richlist is AS Roma. The reason for this is probably that Roma&#8217;s kit sponsor is Kappa which does not have the global distribution network of adidas or Nike. All other clubs in the top 10 are either Nike or adidas teams.<br />
The combined figures of the two top soccer apparel brands put them at about the same level.

The UEFA Champions League financial report has now been released by UEFA.<br />
<a href="http://www.uefa.com/uefa/management/finance/news/newsid=1517274.html#inter+lead+prize+money+list">See the UEFA CL financial report report here!</a>
<ul>
</ul>
<p>Inter Milan leads the prize money list with a total income from the Champions League of 48,759,000 Euros.<br />
In comparison Real Madrid took in 26,825,000 Euros.<br />
The figure is comprised by the following numbers:<br />
Participation: 3,800,000 €<br />
Match: 3,300,000 €<br />
Performance: 3,600,000 €<br />
Market Pool (TV): 13,125,000 €<br />
1st knock out round: 3,000,000 €<br />
<a href="http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/01/51/72/68/1517268_DOWNLOAD.pdf">See the Real Madrid results here!</a>
<ul>
</ul>
<p>The team making by far the most TV money was Manchester United with 28,811,000 € followed by Liverpool with 19,777,000 € even though Liverpool did not make to the knock out stages and Man Utd was eliminated in the quarter-finals.<br />
For the same reason Manchester United made the second most money from the tournament with 45,811,000 €. Displacing FC Bayern for third place with 44,862,000 €.<br />
Most likely the TV money generated by the UEFA Champions League are related to the local markets and local TV deals. Since Sky Sports in the UK is the richest TV deal both for the rights to the Premier League and to the local rights to the Champions League it probably reflects on the TV money flowing to the English clubs.<br />
The local teams are the preferred teams to show on TV nationally, those which bring in the biggest audience, and thereby most sponsorship money, and thereby TV revenue.<br />
So even though the Champions League is a European wide tournament being broadcast globally there is still a strong national and regional impact on the financial side.<br />
Real Madrid only came in 11th on the overall list over prize money for the campaign 2009/10.<br />
And only slightly better as number 10 on the TV market pool money list.<br />
The reason for that is that the Spanish TV market is significantly smaller than the German the English market. And of course on the pitch results also play a role. Real Madrid was eliminated in the round of 16.<br />
Here is how UEFA defines it:<br />
&#8220;Monies from the market pool were distributed according to the proportional value of the national TV market each individual club represented, among other factors, so the amounts given varied from country (or national association) to country.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Real Madrid Profile:</strong><br />
Second part of interview with Jose Mourinho brought in the Spanish daily newspaper El Pais.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> I am curious to know what did Guardiola say to you when the match between Barcelona and Inter was over and Barca had been eliminated. When you were there with Robson you had a good relationship to Guardiola&#8230;<br />
<strong>A:</strong> It has been very good, it is very good, and it will be very good. If we are going to have some kind of problem at the level of football it will never be a problem between Mourinho and Guardiola. It will be a problem between the coach of Real Madrid and the coach of FC Barcelona. This is totally different. I respect him a lot just as well as I believe that he respects me. We do not have any problems at a personal level. Quite the contrary. At this very moment I cannot wish him good luck because we play to win the same but apart from that there is no problem.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> Some years back you laid down your future: To win this in England. To win this in Italy. This in Spain. This in Portugal&#8230;<br />
<strong>A:</strong> Like with any kind of planning one has to be flexible and adapt to the situation. One has to analyze and make a diagnostics on a day to day basis at all levels. In my professional life it is very difficult that this kind of planning happens automatically. There has to be some kind of deviations. I had 3 big objectives when I started coaching. And I have almost achieved the two. One was to win 3 Champions Leagues with 3 different clubs. Ernst Happel, Ottmar Hitzfield and I have have each won 2 with 2 different clubs. Happel has died and Hitzfield is about to retire while I have many years ahead of me. Another of my objectives was to win the league title in the 3 most important league in the world: The English, the Italian, the Spanish. In this moment Capello has won the Spanish and the Italian. Ancelotti has won the Italian and the English. Capello if he is not going to return to club football as he has stated recently will not win the in all 3 leagues. Then there is only Carlo and I and I do not know if it is among Carlo&#8217;s objectives. But I want to win all three.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> And the third objective ?<br />
<strong>A:</strong> The third is to give my country something which nobody has ever given it: the title of World Champion or European Champion. This is going to be more difficult because I do not like to train national teams. It is a dream for me. I think that Portugal a small country, with just 10 million inhabitants, without much economic potential, without great infrastructure has a football which deserves to win something important. It is a football which has produced three Ballons D&#8217;or: Eusebio , Figo and Ronaldo. It is a football which has produced a historical Benfica team and a FC Porto both having won the Champions League. Such a country deserves two things: to win an important title and to win something somewhat easier: to get to with the help of Spain to host a World Cup. We have to win this candidature.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> During all of the interview so far one has not spurred so much emotion and illusion as when talking about Portugal.<br />
<strong>A:</strong> I am a Portuguese rather atypical because the Portuguese person in general misses Portugal a lot and I don&#8217;t. I do not have any longing feeling towards Portugal perhaps because I have an extraordinary family and because I love what I do for a living. I do not miss Portugal but I feel a lot of passion for Portugal. I am a Portuguese who does not want to return. I do not want to work in any Portuguese club. I do not want to live in Portugal. But I am a Portuguese who wants to do something important with my capabilities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Profile:</strong><br />
Jose Mourinho new coach at Real Madrid for the season 2010/11 gave an interview to one of the leading Spanish daily newspapers El Pais for their Sunday edition magazine.<br />
<a href="http://www.elpais.com/articulo/portada/Jose/Mourinho/futbol/arriesgo/todo/personal/riesgo/cero/elpepusoceps/20100822elpepspor_9/Tes">See the interview with Mourinho in Spanish here</a><br />
The headline reads: José Mourinho &#8216;En el fútbol lo arriesgo todo. En lo personal, riesgo cero.<br />
Jose Mourinho: In football I risk everything. At the personal level I risk nothing.
<ul>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://irealmadrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/el-pais.mourinho-portado.jpg"><img src="http://irealmadrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/el-pais.mourinho-portado.jpg" alt="The Spanish newspaper El Pais frontpage of magazine" title="The Spanish newspaper El Pais frontpage of magazine" width="500" height="695" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1144" /></a></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> At the beginning when I read to you what Robinson was saying about you. Those who are close to you say that you are warm and human. But in many places they say that you are a difficult person, inaccessible, irritable. How do you react when you read what people say about you ?<br />
<strong>Q:</strong> First of all, I do not read a lot about what people say about me. Oscar (Oscar Ribo who is present at the interview and who is the responsible for press for Mourinho and Real Madrid) is witness that every dayI want an sms from him with a summary of the press because I do not read newspaper nor do I watch TV. I only use the TV for matches I want to or I have to watch. It is a way to protect my personal well-being and stability.<br />
If a person close to me speaks badly about me yes this does create a problem because it means that something is wrong with me or in relation to this person. When somebody who does not know me speaks badly about me this does not create any problem at all. The football has given me some many good things that it also has the right to give me something bad.</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> What is the bad part:<br />
<strong>Answer:</strong> The complete loss of privacy. Everybody knows me. Everybody talks about me. I cannot walk quietly on the street. I cannot go for a walk with my kids with my wife con my family. I cannot travel freely. And I have to put up with a lot of lies about me &#8211; when I read &#8211; that is.</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> And what is the part which has annoyed you the most.<br />
<strong>Answer:</strong> The lies. Outside of football I am a totally different man from what I am in football. In football I risk everything. In my way of leading and managing &#8211; in my way of communication &#8211; my way of dealing with the press &#8211; I risk a lot with the team &#8211; you will get to see that. In my personal life I am the exact opposite. I risk zero. Low profile. No risky investments. I risk nothing with my Euros. I am a low profile guy &#8211; I do not like the social scene at all. And the lies is what I like least of all. They said that during my holidays in Kenya I had met with a witch. What they invent &#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> They also say that you like to read and that you like music.<br />
<strong>Answer:</strong> Look, people see one Mourinho during the 90 minutes of the match + during press conferences before and after the match. This Mourinho is playing the match. It is difficult to comprehend the Mourinho who is not playing the match. During the match I am on my feet for 90 minutes. I speak to my players, I speak to the adversaries, I speak to the referees. I play my game I do not come out there to do theater I am working. The press conferences are part of the work space. The public know me from my work. This interview I give to you today I do not know if it is going to be repeated throughout the season since I only rarely concede interviews. I never appear on TV and I would never open the door to my home to anyone. To stop on the street to talk to fans is very difficult also. I would like to visit a local fan club of my current club but they have told me that they are some many and that if I go to one I have to go to all of them.. So therefore nobody knows Mourinho. His family knows him. His friends know him. Those are the ones who know the real Mourinho.</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> Allow me for a moment to enter you house. What kind of books do you read ?<br />
<strong>Answer:</strong> I like Gabriel García Márquez but in reality I have little time available to read. I work for long hours and when I get back home I like to spend the time with my family. I cannot be so egoistic as to demand my own space and time. I need to do things which they like to do: watch a movie which my wife likes, go to the cinema to watch the movie that my kids like. The other day I was in Madrid. I was very tired but my kids wanted to go to the amusement park so we went to the amusement park.</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> What makes you laugh ?<br />
<strong>Answer:</strong> At home I laugh a lot. At work also. And to win also makes me laugh a lot.</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong> Lets end this interview with another poet. Kipling. If between to shams: defeat and victory.<br />
Do you think the same ? That they are a double -edged sword.<br />
<strong>Answer:</strong> Sometimes after a defeat (which luckily enough have been few and far between) I should not be sad because in the other locker room there are people who are very happy. But in order to really think this way I would need to lose many times.

<p>Sergio Canales is new in Real Madrid for the season 2010/11. Canales will be wearing the jersey number 22 in his new club left by Xabi Alonso as he changed the jersey number for the number 14 left by Guti.</p>
<p><a href="http://irealmadrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/canales-racing-santander.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1123" title="Sergio Canales for Racing Santander" src="http://irealmadrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/canales-racing-santander.jpg" alt="Sergio Canales for Racing Santander" width="233" height="443" /></a><a title="AP photo Sergio Canales" href="http://ap.org/" target="_blank">Photo of Sergio Canales from Racing Santander from the Associated Press</a>.</p>
<p>The player has played in most of the matches this pre-season so far and must be considered as being one of the players who count for Mourinho.</p>

<p>To read more about Canales see his profile at wikipedia: <a title="Sergio Canales for Real Madrid" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Canales" target="_blank">Sergio Canales at Wikipedia!</a><br />
Canales will be the offensive midfielder splitting time with Van der Vaart. What happens when Kaka returns nobody knows. Maybe 3 will be too many for the position of the 10 but possibly Canales will be able to play also at the left or the right midfield position.</p>

<p><strong>Player Profile:</strong></p>
<p>Often a small coincidence can lead to big changes in the life of an individual. In this case of a football players. German national team player Sammy Khedira from VFB Stuttgart was living a relatively quiet life away from the spotlight of international media. He was a well-known player in the German Bundesliga but had yet to make an impact internationally.</p>
<p>The last match of the season in England. The FA Cup final between Chelsea and Portsmouth.  Kevin Prince Boateng another player out of German of mixed background German mother Ghanaian father injures Michael Ballack and German hopes for the World Cup are shaken. Khedira has a German mother and a Tunisian father. Before this incident the German midfield was to consist of Ballack and Schweinsteiger as the bread and butter of the engine room. Khedira was not close to a place in the starting formation. However, with Ballack out and a lack of central midfielders Khedira is suddenly granted a vital role for the German team.</p>
<p><a href="http://irealmadrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/khedira-germany.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1090" title="Sammi Khedira for Germany" src="http://irealmadrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/khedira-germany.jpg" alt="German international Sammi Khedira" width="280" height="410" /></a></p>
<p>German plays a good tournament and in the process Khedira makes a name for himself on the international scene.</p>
<p>He would have been out of contract with VFB Stuttgart the summer of 2011. A pre-contract had been made with FC Bayern but Stuttgart would of course be more interested in selling now to Real Madrid and cash in rather than letting him go for free to arch rivals Bayern the following summer.</p>

<p>It is still unknown at the time of writing which number Khedira will be wearing in Real Madrid.</p>
<p>Khedira plays in a Nike boots as can been seen from the photo above.</p>
