Victor Valdes retires





Former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has retired.
The 35-year-old, who also played for Manchester United and Middlesbrough, has hung up his gloves and has launched a TV production company and will have his own show.
The Spaniard rejected offers from Deportivo la Coruna and Sporting Lisbon to continue playing this season.
Valdes is one of the greatest keepers in Barcelona’s history, winning La Liga six times, the Champions League three times, the Super Cup six times, two Copa del Reys and bagged the Fifa Club World Cup twice.

And he was part of the all-conquering Spain team, lifting the 2010 World Cup two years before victory in the Euros.
But the end of his career was marked by disappointment and surprise transfers.

Mourinho blames Ronaldo for Manchester United defeat

Jose Mourinho blamed Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United loss in the UEFA Super Cup game. The self-acclaimed Special One claimed Manchester United could have won if not Ronaldo that got the attention of the referee on any slight tackle. Real Madrid won the game with a 2-1 score line, Casemiro and Isco gave Los Blancos the lead before Romelu Lukaku pulled one back for the Red Devils. Mourinho was of the opinion that all hopes were lost when Ronaldo came off the bench, while he criticised the decision to award Casemiro’s first goal claiming it was offside. ‘I think they could score more goals than they did, and we could score more goals than we did. ‘I think they had a period of dominance in the middle of the first half. We had a period of dominance in the middle of second half, and the rest was balanced. ‘We were playing against a team full of fantastic players, but we discussed the result until almost the end. ‘Then Cristiano ...
