Kezman makes his move
Monday, 08 December 2003
PSV Eindhoven striker Mateja Kezman has jumped 30 places in the ESM Golden Shoe standings after an impressive four-goal haul at the weekend.
Second place
The Serbo-Montenegrin international was in devastating form in the 7-0 Eredivisie defeat of FC Volendam and now sits in 13th place. Kezman scored 35 goals last season and just missed out on the title as Europe's leading scorer behind Roy Makaay.
Gap closed
Elsewhere, Alan Shearer and Djibril Cissé each took advantage of a blank week for Ailton to move within two points of the fourth-placed SV Werder Bremen forward. Shearer registered for Newcastle United FC in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool FC, while Cissé was on target as AJ Auxerre won 2-1 at AC Ajaccio.

Only the leading five countries (Spain, Italy, Germany, France and England) in the UEFA Ranking have two as their multiplier. This is to emphasise the difference in (international) performance level between clubs from those countries and those from other countries.
A player cannot first play in a summer league (e.g. Norway) and then in a winter league (e.g. Spain) and combine the points total for each season.
PSV Eindhoven - FC Volendam 7-0
1-0 Mateja Kezman (12')
2-0 Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (19')
3-0 Mateja Kezman (50')

Hiddink sets sights on Germany
Thursday, 04 December 20
By Edwin Chong
PSV Eindhoven boss Guus Hiddink has confirmed his interest in taking up an advisory role at the next World Cup with the Chinese national federation.
Hiddink said on Dutch talk show Voetbal Insite that he is talking with PSV president Harry van Raaij about an offer from the China Football Association (CFA), where he will work with fellow Dutchman and current China national coach Arie Haan.
Haan is close friends with Hiddink and is believed to be playing an important role in luring the former Holland manager to take up the newly-created position.
Hiddink is highly regarded in Asia after his exploits during the 2002 World Cup finals, where he led hosts South Korea to an unprecedented fourth-placed finish.
But his announcement surprised many, especially Korean football fans, who may not warm to the idea that the 57-year-old is about to coach one of South Korea's main rivals in the lead up to the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
It is unclear what type of role Hiddink will assume, but he is expected to remain as manager of PSV Eindhoven.
Want a yellow? You've got one
Tuesday, 02 December 2003
The Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB) has launched a drive to deter players from making gestures to the referee to give opponents bookings.
Growing number
The KNVB has ordered its referees to show a yellow card immediately to any player who is asking for a yellow card for his opponent. "In the very recent past, we have seen a growing number of players in the Dutch league showing this condemnable behaviour," KNVB referee co-ordinator Jaap Uilenberg explained. "To do something against this bad habit, the KNVB has decided to sanction this behaviour with a yellow card."
Hiddink views
Discussion about this issue was kindled by PSV Eindhoven coach Guus Hiddink, who had publicly admonished his own player Arjen Robben for such conduct. The young Dutch international had annoyed his coach by asking for yellow cards for his opponents. "A 19-year-old player is allowed to make mistakes, but he has to leave all those gestures behind. We have spoken to him about it," Hiddink said.
Growing pains
"He still has to learn to act like a man if he is faced with a fierce opponent," the experienced trainer added. "But he is an intelligent boy, and he will soon learn from this. We must not forget Robben is only 19. These are just the growing pains that go with his age."
a persz! Eddig csak altattunk, de most kivillantjuk a valódi tudásunkat és lealázzuk a spanyolokat. Remélem megint kifognak egy olyan rossz (vagy még rosszabb) napot, mint a Monaco ellen.
A mailt próbáld meg mégegyszer, mert a mailbox kibaszott velem és az összes levelemet törölte:(
:-) Nem, azt nem hiszem, hogy megveritek a Deport. Az AEK-nak mindegy ugyan, de még nem nyert és otthon játszanak saját közönségük előtt. A Monaco viszont mindenképpen továbbjutott, na ilyenkor szoktak a görögök "megtáltosodni".
Mármint, hogy a Monaco kikap Athénban, ugye? A Monaconak viszont hajtania kell a csoportelsőségért, az AEKnek meg már teljesen mindegy mit játszik, úgyis negyedik lesz.
Mi 2-0-val vagy háromgólos győzelemmel juthatunk csak tovább.
Az attól függ, hogy hogy végez a Monaco Athénban. Ha ugyanis kikap, ti viszont megveritek a Deport (amit erősen kétlek egyébként, de tételezzük fel), akkor 3 10 pontos csapat lesz és a 3 csapat egymás elleni eredményei (azaz az AEK nélküli tabella) alapján kiestek.
Ha Monaco pontot szerez, és ti nyertek, akkor ketten maradtok és akkor az egymás elleni eredmény dönt, ha az is egyenlő, akkor a gólkülönbség, ez utóbbi a javatokra.
Akkor a Monacot mar nem elözhetjük meg, meg ha gyözünk is a Depor ellen. Gyözni kell a Depor ellen, egymas elleni golkülönbseg miatt legalabb 2-0 ra. Ha 2-0 lesz, akkor a köv helyzet lesz:
Borussia Mönchengladbach-PSV Eindhoven 3-3
1-0 Van Lent (10')
1-1 Robben (48')
1-2 Edson (56')
2-2 Van Hout (65')
2-3 Vennegoor of Hesselink (72')
3-3 Skoubo (85')
A felállásunk: Van Dijk, Bouma, Colin, Hofland (55, Edson), Lucius, Vogel (72, Guijo Velasco), Van der Schaaf, Robben, Juan, De Jong en Vennegoor of Hesselink
nem lépett pályára: Wissels: Lenaerts, Jakobsen, Guijo Velasco, Janssen, Edson.
nem vagy semmi. Tehat akkor vagy ket gyozelem, vagy pedig kevesebb, de akkor kell az Athentol egy ket pontszerzes is! Mondjuk ha legyoznek a Monacot a vegen, mi meg a kovetkezo korben, akkor jo lenne..
