Champions League special, top players of the group stage (Part 1)
Sir Alex Ferguson thinks UEFA Champions League is better and more competitive than the FIFA World Cup.
While it’s a huge statement to make, considering the fact that World Cup is called the holy grail of all trophies, it goes a long way in explaining the pedigree of the primary continental competition.
Champions League (formerly known as the European Cup) is a trophy, all the big managers’ dream of winning and the same goes for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Big-Players-c38635.
A player, who performs well in Europe, is tagged ‘a big game player’ and the likes of Kaka, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 have won the esteemed Ballon d’Or trophy, on the back of some inspired performances in the Champions League.
However, this season a host of young players have risen up to the occasion and have put in some noteworthy performances. Bettor.com now brings forth the Champions League top players of the group stage, to its esteemed readers.
 http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 – Schalke 04
The young German international had an impressive World Cup campaign and has continued the pattern in the Champions League. At just twenty-four-years of age, Neuer is putting forth a genuine claim for being the best goalkeeper in Germany.
Interest from a host of Premier League clubs has been registered and if latest reports coming out of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 are to be believed, then Schalke hierarchy is offering the young custodian a massive pay-rise to rebuff interest from Manchester United.
The German Bundesliga outfit will do well to retain his services, as he has a world class future awaiting him. Also, Neuer’s form from January onwards will play a huge role in Schalke’s quest for European glory.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darijo-Srna-c10266 – Shakhtar Donetsk
The experienced Croatian is one of the most underrated players in the whole of Europe. At twenty-eight years of age, Srna is at the peak of his prowess and just why a bigger Champions League team has not gone for his service is beyond this author. Srna for his part has expressed undying love and a willingness to stay at all costs.
"I will leave Shakhtar only when I stop getting place in the starting line-up. I want to win something great with Shakhtar. For now I don't want to leave Shakhtar even if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 makes an offer”.
Keeping in mind the fact that Shakhtar is no continental giant and only plays in a mediocre Ukrainian Championship, Srna’s commitment to play for Shakhtar is admirable. Srna has been putting in exemplary performances, with relentless consistency over the years and this edition of Champions League is no different.
Club captain and a firm fan favourite, Srna’s relentless attacking has been one of the highlights of the Champions League so far. With Donetsk based club having qualified for the round of 16 ahead of Arsenal, Darijo will have the opportunity to weave his magic, for at least two more games.
