FERNANDO SANTOS WANTS TO CHANGE STILE

He is the current manager of the Greek national team, last managing PAOK of the Super League Greece.

On 4 February 2010, Santos was elected by the Greek Football League as the best coach of the decade, at a ceremony to celebrate the last 50 years of football in the country.

Former European champions Greece were knocked out in the first round of the World Cup in South Africa after they finished second last in their group.

“The national team from now on will use the 4-4-2 diamond system for the first time with 4-3-3 that was used in the past as an alternative,” the 56-year-old Portuguese coach said.

“We will only play a pressing zone defence. Forget the man-to-man which we had before, even if we play (Argentine star Lionel) Messi or Pele.”
Otto Rehhagel’s successor wants to start the new system in his debut match, a friendly against Serbia on August 11 in Belgrade.

“We respect every opponent but we want to have our own play. Our goal is to win every match and of course to build a solid team both on defence and in attack,” Santos said.

“The work done by my predecessor was successful and we must not forget that, but now I want to proceed with my philosophy and this is what I want to pass on to my players,” Santos added.

The new man in charge has also called three uncapped players up for the Serbia match and has left out eight players from the Greece World Cup 2010 squad.

“The national team will be open to those who deserve to be there,” Santos said. “We will not close the door to anyone.”

Santos added that a national B team will be created for players between the ages of 21 and 23 who do not get an opportunity to play for the Under-21 squad or the national team but who may be called up to join the main national team.

TENDULKAR IS THE BOOS !

The 37-year-old champion batsman, who holds almost every batting record, overtook retired former Australian captain Steve Waugh with whom he was tied at 168 matches after the second Test at SSC. Tendulkar, who has been around for two decades now, has also played 442 one-day internationals, just a couple of matches less than Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya’s record of 444.

Tendulkar has scored 13,742 runs in 168 Tests at an average of 56.08, notching up 48 hundreds and 55 half-centuries in the process.
He has 17,598 runs, including 46 centuries, in his 442 one-dayers. The Mumbaikar also holds the distinction of being the first batsman to score a double hundred in ODIs.

But despite these astonishing feats, Tendulkar remains hungry for more runs and after getting his fifth Test double hundred in the second Test against Sri Lanka, the diminutive batsman urged critics to stop talking about his age.

Tendulkar’s two tenures as captain of the Indian cricket team were not very successful. When Tendulkar took over as Captain in 1996, it was with huge hopes and expectations. However, by 1997 the team was performing poorly. Azharuddin was credited with saying

“Nahin jeetega! Chote ki naseeb main jeet nahin hai!”,

which translates into: “He won’t win! It’s not in the small one’s destiny!”.
Tendulkar, succeeding Azharuddin as captain for his second term, then led India on a tour of Australia, where the visitors were comprehensively beaten 3–0 by the newly crowned world champions.

Tendulkar, however, was at his usual best and won the player of the tournament award as well as player of the match in one of the games. After another Test series defeat, this time by a 0–2 margin at home against South Africa, Tendulkar resigned, and Sourav Ganguly took over as captain in 2000.

WTA TOURNAMENT CHAMPION VICTORIA AZARENKA

In the final match of the WTA tournament, Victoria Azarenka of Belarus showed her skills and matchless talent by grabbing a resounding victory over the ex world number one tennis ace Maria Sharapova (of Russia). Azarenka outclassed her veteran Russian rival in an exciting match and surpassed Sharapova’s talent in all the departments.

This title was the first she has won this year, and it is very dear and special to her in all aspects. Azarenka beat Sharapova in straight sets by 6-4, 6-1 to win the hard-court event.A day after her 21st birthday, Azarenka broke the Russian three times in the first set then took advantage of Sharapova’s 16 unforced errors in the second set while committing only one to win the 700,000-dollar hardcourt event.

“I haven’t lost a match yet since I turned 21,” Azarenka said. “It’s great. I can have cake now.”
Azarenka, who will jump to 12th in the world rankings, improved to 19-5 this season on hardcourts, the surface where she has won her four career WTA titles and where she will play at the US Open later this month.

“It just brings me so much confidence and passion to go, especially before the US Open,” Azarenka said. “I’m glad I’m picking up my form and gaining so much confidence.”

Sharapova, who had won 17 of 20 prior matches, missed a chance to claim her third title of the year. She will improve to 13th in the rankings as she shos her best form since returning from a shoulder injury in May of 2009.

“I started making unforced errors off her returns and she stepped it up, took advantage and started to get on a roll,” Sharapova said. “I don’t think I served that smart. I need a higher percentage of first serves, in general and particularly against her.”

Azarenka took the 107,000-dollar top prize and improved to 2-2 lifetime against Sharapova, her first victory over the Russian since 2007.Azarenka needed four set points but finally took the first set when Sharapova sent a backhand wide. Azarenka twice rallied from 0-30 to hold serve, denying the Russian a third break to level.

“Maria is a great player. I had to dig my way in,” Azarenka said. “I was running a lot. It was tough to hold my serve. I had to play really well. I’m glad I kept fighting. Point by point it worked for me.”

Azarenka broke Sharapova to open the second set and again to seize a 4-1 lead and in the final game, which she claimed at love when Sharapova netted a forehand.

“I tried to start aggressive right away and not let her come in,” Azarenka said. “When she gets on a roll it’s hard to keep up. I had to be on top of her every moment and not give her the chance to come back.”

I AM HAPPY TO JUST PLAY TENNIS……………….. MARIA SHARAPOVA

She has shown flashes of that past brilliance this week, and, despite far too many sloppy moments, those flashes have been plentiful enough to clinch a spot in the Bank of the West final.

Sharapova shook off a first-set loss to beat Poland’s Agnieszka Radwanska 1-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Saturday in the Bank of the West Classic to set up a championship match against Victoria Azarenka.

Azarenka, from Belarus, celebrated her 21st birthday with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over top-seeded Samantha Stosur 6-2, 6-3.
Sharapova said she had to deal with doubts following her return to the tour in May 2009 after a 10-month absence due to shoulder surgery.

Her shoulder has held up and the doubts have evaporated.

“It’s been a long road,” she said. “I’m just so happy to come out and not worry about too many things. I’m happy to just play tennis.”

Fifth-seeded and 15th-ranked, Sharapova is undefeated in four semifinal matches this season and will be looking for her third title.
The Russian star and the third-seeded Radwanska are both expected to move up in the rankings when they are released Monday. Radwanska, 0-3 in semifinals, is projected to nudge into the top 10.

“She wins a lot of her matches by wearing down her opponents,” Sharapova said. “You always have to be ready for your shot to come back.”

Sharapova committed eight double faults, but none in the third set. She recorded four aces with a serve that reached 114 mph.
Sharapova has won 17 of her last 20 matches and hopes to crash Azarenka’s celebration.
Azarenka has won 10 of her last 12 matches and is unbeaten in four career meetings against Stosur, who was playing her first tournament since reaching her career-high ranking at No. 5.

“I was pretty good on the return,” Azarenka said. “I think I just have long arms and that’s the key. If I can react fast enough I can usually get there.”

The 26-year-old Stosur lost to eventual champion Marion Bartoli in last year’s semifinal at Stanford.
“She played well today and it wasn’t my best day,” Stosur said. “She punished me when I was being too conservative.”
Azarenka took advantage of Stosur’s difficulty on first serves and played a solid return game. She kept the Australian on her heels with strong forehands.

“I’m finally injury free and enjoying my time on the court,” Azarenka said. “I’m starting to move a little bit better and my defense has improved. That’s helped my offense. I’ve also been working hard on my serve and it’s getting consistent.”
Stosur is projected to remain No. 5 next week while Azarenka can move up to No. 12 if she wins the title.

ENGLAND VS PAKISTAN TEST MATCH

England won the toss and decided to bat against Pakistan. Salman Butt, the Pakistan captain, said he would also have batted first but he won’t be overly disappointed to be able to unleash his new-ball attack straight away.

England, who won the toss, were in trouble at 118 for four shortly after lunch, with Kevin Pietersen out for nine in his first match since injuring his thigh in a one-day international against Australia at Lord’s on July 3.
But former Ireland left-hander Morgan hit back with 44 not out featuring nine boundaries and together with Paul Collingwood (27 not out) had so far shared an unbroken stand of 72.

In a series where the Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) was being used in England for the first time, Pakistan wasted both their two permitted unsuccessful challenges on appeals by Mohammad Asif for lbw and caught behind against Pietersen on one and five.
But Asif then bowled Pietersen, leaving a gap between bat and pad, off the inside edge.
England’s other South Africa-born batsman, Jonathan Trott, had added just three to his lunchtime 35 when he padded up to an inswinger from Aamer.

Trott, successful with a previous referral, asked for New Zealand umpire Tony Hill’s lbw verdict to be reviewed.
But replays suggested the ball was clipping the top of the stumps and Trott was out, with England 118 for four.
And there was a fresh flashpoint when wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal appealed for a catch against Morgan, on five, off the bowling of left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Aamer.

But even before the third umpire ruled in Morgan’s favour, crowd jeers were ringing round Trent Bridge as replays on the giant screen showed the ball had clearly bounced into Kamran Akmal’s gloves.
It took Collingwood 30 balls to score his first four but then two came in as many Umar Gul deliveries, courtesy of a couple of square cuts.

Morgan then cover-drove and glanced off-spinner Shoaib Malik for fours.
Both batsmen cashed in against Pakistan’s slow bowlers and Morgan made it six boundaries for England in 12 deliveries with a trademark reverse sweep off leg-spinner Danish Kaneria.

Before lunch Aamer, who took seven wickets in Pakistan’s dramatic three-wicket second Test win over Australia at Headingley last week, had Alastair Cook caught at first slip and had England captain Andrew Strauss caught behind for 45.
Earlier, Strauss had a huge reprieve when, on 15, he edged an outswinger from the 18-year-old Aamer only for Kamran Akmal to drop the routine chance.

Cook struggled in overcast conditions similar to those in which Pakistan bowled Australia out for just 88 in the first innings at Headingley and on eight edged Aamer to first slip Imran Farhat.
Trott then became the first batsman to use DRS in England when, on 13, he given out, lbw to Kaneria, by de Silva. As replays showed Trott had got an inside edge, de Silva reversed his original verdict.
But Aamer did have Strauss, playing loosely outside off-stump, eventually caught behind by Kamran Akmal to end a second-wicket stand of 51.
Pakistan players wore black armbands in memory of the 152 people killed in after an airplane crashed near the capital city of Islamabad on Wednesday.

SCORES IN BRIEF

ENGLAND: First innings 190 for 4 at tea (Strauss 45, Morgan 44 not out, Trott 38, Collingwood 27 not out; Aamer 3-25)

PAKISTAN: Butt, Farhat, Ali, Amin, U Akmal, Malik, K Akmal, Aamer, Gul, Kaneria, Asif

DIEGO MARADONA

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) decided not to renew Maradona’s contract.
Maradona’s future had been in doubt since Argentina’s 4-0 thrashing by Germany in the World Cup quarterfinals in South Africa this month, less than two years since his headline-grabbing appointment.

“There needed to be some changes among Diego’s staff … and we couldn’t come to an agreement,” AFA chief Julio Grondona told reporters. “No one’s being kicked out; a contract hasn’t been renewed because we didn’t have the conditions to do so.”
An AFA spokesman cited “unbridgeable differences” with the flamboyant Maradona, who led Argentina to World Cup victory as captain in 1986 and is adored by many Argentines.

The team’s earlier-than-expected exit from the tournament followed a shaky qualifying campaign, but the former player was still given a hero’s welcome when the squad returned home and President Cristina Fernandez urged him to stay on.
Several dozen fans, some banging drums and chanting, gathered outside the AFA’s headquarters after Tuesday’s announcement.
Speculation had mounted ahead of the meeting that Maradona would not stay on as coach — a position he had held since November 2008 — because of the disagreement over his coaching staff.

Maradona, 49, said Sunday he wanted to stay on, but only if he could keep control over the choice of his assistants.
Maradona was widely seen as one of the world’s best-ever players in his 1980s’ heyday, but he battled drug addiction, obesity and alcoholism for years after retiring from the game in the 1990s.

That made his comeback as national team coach an even more remarkable personal achievement, especially because he had very little experience as a manager. He had a patchy tenure as coach of Argentina, however, even though the team’s convincing wins in their opening World Cup games propelled them into the list of favourites. Maradona’s exit means Argentina need to find a new coach for the Copa Americaregional tournament next year but Grondona said there was plenty of time to recruit a new training staff.

Local media said former Boca Juniors coach Carlos Bianchi, who led the Buenos Aires club to a string of national and continental titles in two stints between 1998 and 2004, was a popular favourite. Other names circulating as possible successors include Estudiantes coach Alex Sabella, Independiente’s former coach Americo Gallego, former Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa and ex-River Plate, Inter Milan and Argentina striker Ramon Diaz.
Grondona said youth team coach Sergio Batista, Maradona’s former 1986 team mate, was the logical choice as caretaker coach and he will lead the team for a friendly against Ireland in Dublin Aug. 11.

Serena Jameka Williams (born September 26, 1981) is an American professional tennis player who is currently ranked World No. 1 in both singles and doubles. The Women’s Tennis Association has ranked her World No. 1 in singles on five separate occasions. She regained this ranking for the fifth time on November 2, 2009. She became the World No. 1 for the first time on July 8, 2002. On July 3, 2010, she became 6th on the all-time greatest champions list.

Williams is the reigning champion in both singles and women’s doubles at the Australian Open, the reigning singles champion at Wimbledon, and in women’s doubles at the French Open and the US Open. Her 27 Grand Slam titles places her ninth on the all-time list: 13 in singles, 12 in women’s doubles, and 2 in mixed doubles.

2010:

Williams’s first scheduled tournament was the Medibank International Sydney. She defeated Frenchwoman Aravane Rezaï in the semifinals 3–6, 7–5, 6–4 after trailing 5–2 in the second set and being two points from defeat. She then lost the final to World No. 5 and defending champion Elena Dementieva 6–3, 6–2.

At the Australian Open, Williams was the defending champion in both singles and doubles (with sister Venus). She reached the singles quarterfinals without losing a service game or a set, where she eliminated Victoria Azarenka for the third straight Australian Open, 4–6, 7–6(4), 6–2 after trailing 4–0 in the second set. In the semifinals, Williams defeated 16th seeded Li Na 7–6(4), 7–6(1) on her fifth match point to reach her fifth final in Melbourne and her fifteenth Grand Slam singles final. She then defeated 2004 champion Justine Henin 6–4, 3–6, 6–2 for her twelfth Grand Slam singles title. This was the first time that Henin and Williams had played each other in a Grand Slam tournament final.Williams is the first female player to win back-to-back Australian Open titles since Jennifer Capriati in 2001–02.In doubles, Serena and Venus successfully defended their title by defeating the top ranked team of Cara Black and Liezel Huber in the final 6–4, 6–3.

A leg injury then caused Williams to withdraw from five consecutive tournaments, including the Premier 5 Dubai Tennis Championships and the Premier Mandatory Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne.

She returned to the WTA tour at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome where she lost to Jelena Jankovi? in the semifinals 4–6, 6–3, 7–6(5) after failing to convert a match point while serving at 5–4 in the third set, and then surrendering a 5–2 lead in the deciding tiebreaker.

At the Mutua Madrileña Madrid Open, she received a first round bye. In her first match, she made 73 unforced errors in defeating Vera Dushevina in the longest match of her career, 3 hours, 26 minutes, 6–7(2), 7–6(5), 7–6(5). Williams saved a match point at 6–5 in the second set, then injured her upper leg early in the third set. She then fell to 16th seeded Nadia Petrova 4–6, 6–2, 6–3. Williams won only two of her eighteen opportunities to break Petrova’s serve. She teamed with Venus to win the doubles title.

At the French Open, she moved through the first three rounds with ease, and then defeated Shahar Pe’er in the fourth round before losing to Samantha Stosur in the quarterfinals 6–3, 6–7(2), 8–6. Williams made 46 unforced errors and squandered a match point at 5–4 in the final set. Williams has not advanced past the quarterfinals at this event since 2003. She also played doubles with Venus as the top seeds. Their defeat of Huber and Anabel Medina Garrigues in the semifinals improved their doubles ranking to World No. 1. They then defeated 12th seeds Kv?ta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik in the final 6–2, 6–3 to win their fourth consecutive Grand Slam women’s doubles title

MY CONFIDENCE IS REALLY HIGH RIGHT NOW…………. MARDY FISH

Mardy Fish. Bearing the brunt of a lot of puns in yesterday’s papers, American Fish finished off Andy Murray in a third set tie-break, 7-2, in the resumption of their third round match. Dusting off his shoes and changing his top, the American returned an hour and a bit later to face Michael Llodra for a place in the last four. Pulverising the Frenchman with his big serve, Fish won his second match of the day 6-4, 6-4, and blasted his way into the semi-finals. He then went back on court for doubles.
The match win was the ninth in a row for the inspired American, who came through in just under three hours in blistering 37 Celsius conditions.

“It feels great. This is what I’ve been putting in the work for. I feel as good as I’ve ever felt in my career,” said Fish, winner of his last 10 matches and a winner of two tournaments in a year for the first time in his career.
“Playing in the heat, you have to convince yourself you feel better than the other guy, even if you’re feeling it. I struggled at the end of the match. I wasn’t used to the weather as I had played at night.

“I felt great until about 5-all in the third set, but I didn’t want to leave anything out there. I was maybe a little lucky to pull through. It was an extremely physical match with all of the heat. He’s no fun to play. He gives a lot of people trouble.
“My confidence is really high right now.”

Second seed Isner, winner of the longest match ever played in the sport when he won in the first round at Wimbledon, may still not have totally overcome the mental physical drain from that 11-hour contest a month ago.
Isner remains on one title this season, obtained at the start of the season in Auckland.
“Conditions were brutal again,” said Isner. “The first hour was the hottest. It took a lot out of both of us. I’ve never played in conditions this hot and humid.

“We were both just scrapping it out. This is the third final this year that I could have won. It’s disappointing — four finals this year and I’ve lost my last three.
“I know that sooner or later it will happen — I’ll make sure of that. It stinks to lose this tournament.”
The second seed was unable to put the match away after winning the first set with the break of serve which counted at the end after missing on his first five.

But Fish, playing in the faster daytime conditions which speed up the court and ball, managed to find his rhythm in the second as the heat began to war down big man Isner.
Floridian Fish profited as Isner struck a double-fault to set up a set point, which Fish grabbed to square the sets at one each.
The sixth seed went up a 3-1 break in the third set only to lose it a game later. As the last set wound into a tiebreaker Fish’s form again began to lift.

The winner over top seed Andy Roddick in the semi-finals earned a 4-1 margin, held off Isner and earned three match points as Isner hit a tired return long.
Fish advanced to victory on his second chance on a concluding unforced error from his weary opponent.
Fish lost around 15 kilograms last autumn as he recovered from knee surgery and the results has been a vast improvement in his game and fitness.

He now stands 16-2 on the ATP since the start of June after earning a finals spot on grass at Queen’s club but losing to American Sam Querrey.

MANO MENEZES PROFILE

He began his career in football as a defender for Guarani de Venâncio Aires in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He gave up playing to become a fitness coach, beginning in 1986 in SESI, Rio Grande do Sul, before going on to Guarani de Venâncio Aires, Juventude and Internacional (as well as a spell in 1997 with Paulo Autuori at Cruzeiro).

He was the coach of Grêmio from 2005 through 2007, a remarkably long time for a coach in Brazilian football. He led them to promotion in 2005 and followed that up with a third place finish in the 2006 Brasileiro. In 2007, he led Grêmio to the final of the Copa Libertadores.

At the end of the 2007 season, he took over as coach of Corinthians and started the 2008 season with a 3-0 win over Guarani. Menezes led Corinthians to the 2008 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B title with 25 wins, 10 draws and 3 losses, finishing with 85 points.

Menezes was hired to manage the Corinthians at the end of 2007, and to raise them back up from relegation. In 2008, Corinthians played the Copa do Brasil, losing to Sport Club do Recife. That year they also took the title of Campeonato Brasileiro Série B 2008. In May 2009 Menezes led the Corinthians to become unbeaten champions of the Campeonato Paulista. On July 1, 2009, Corinthians won the Copa do Brasil against Internacional. With the win, Corinthians gained entry to the Copa Libertadores 2010.

On July 24, 2010, the CBF announced that Mano would replace Dunga as the Brazil manager. He was not the CBF’s first choice, but Fluminense had refused to release Muricy Ramalho on the day before.
Mano’s apointment was generally well received, although some pointed out that his favoured playing style resembled Dunga’s defensive style quite a lot.
