LONDON - Penjaga gol, Manuel Neuer yang memenangi Piala Dunia bersama Jerman bakal menjadi pencabar kepada Christiano Ronaldo dan Lionel Messi untuk merebut Ballon d'Or.

Pada ketika anugerah pemain terbaik sering bertukar tangan dalam kalangan penjaring terba­nyak sejak 2008, bintang Jerman, Neuer muncul penjaga gol pertama berada dalam senarai tiga teratas Ballon d'Or sejak 2006.
Ronaldo memenangi anugerah tersebut pada 2013, menamatkan dominasi penyerang Argentina, Messi yang merangkul Pemain Terbaik Dunia selama tiga tahun berturut-turut sejak FIFA dan majalah France Football mengabungkan anugerah berkenaan.

Untuk kategori wanita, pemenang lima kali, Marta dari Brazil dicalonkan semalam bersama-sama penerima anugerah 2012, Abby Wambach manakala pemain tengah Jerman, Nadine Kessler pula mengintai peluang merangkul anugerah itu buat kali pertama.

Pemenang bakal dipilih oleh kapten skuad kebangsaan dan jurulatih serta para wartawan. Pemenang akan diumumkan dalam majlis di Zurich pada 12 Januari tahun depan.

Messi yang memecah rekod jari­ngan Liga Juara-juara dan Liga Sepanyol bulan ini selepas memenangi Bola Emas pada Piala Dunia, bakal mengakhiri cabaran 2014 tanpa memenangi sebarang kejuaraan bersama pasukannya.
Argentina tewas kepada Jerman pada perlawanan akhir Piala Dunia, yang turut menyaksikan penjaga gol Bayern Munich, Neuer mengekalkan rekod tanpa bolos untuk merangkul piala paling berprestij tersebut, selain turut menjuarai Liga Jerman.

Penjaga gol terakhir yang pernah berada dalam senarai tiga calon akhir Ballon D’Or adalah Gianlugi Buffon selepas Itali memenangi Piala Dunia menerusi penentuan sepakan penalti menentang Perancis.
Awal bulan ini, Neuer lebih selesa bersikap merendah diri apabila tidak beranggapan bahawa dirinya berpeluang untuk memenangi anugerah berprestij dalam sukan bola sepak itu.

Malah, pemain itu mahu mengekalkan sikap low profile di luar padang, lebih-lebih lagi dia bukanlah seperti Ronaldo yang gemar bergaya di depan kamera dengan hanya memakai seluar dalam.

Ronaldo merupakan salah seorang atlet yang berjaya meraih perhatian dalam pasaran apabila dia kerap diberi tawaran berlakon iklan seluar dalam dan gemar meraikan jaringannya dengan menanggalkan jersi bagi menunjukkan tubuhnya yang berotot di depan kamera.

Walaupun, pemenang dua kali Ballon D'Or itu telah menjulang Liga Juara-juara dan Piala Super UEFA bersama Real Madrid tahun ini, dia hanya meledakkan satu gol pada Piala Dunia dan turut menyaksikan Portugal tersingkir seawal peringkat kumpulan.  AGENSI

Sanogo was forced to make an early exit with what seemed to be a slight hamstring injury

ARSENAL 
Damien Martinez - 7
Made a vital save to deny Mkhitaryan in the first-half and grew in confidence from there.
Calum Chambers - 7
The right back could have been more economical in possession but proved effective in both halves.
Per Mertesacker - 6.5
Not been at his best this season but looked more like his old self.
Nacho Monreal - 6.5
Again asked to fill in centre back and kept to his task well enough. Wenger will be pleased Laurent Koscielny is fit again, though.
Kieran Gibbs - 6.5
Responded to his unlucky own goal against Manchester United on Saturday with a typically steady display.
Mikel Arteta -  6.5
The skipper was quiet but efficient in central midfield. Kept things moving nicely in midfield. Booked.
Aaron Ramsey - 7
Still short of those blockbusting displays of last season, but a much improved performance.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 7
The crossbar denied him a goal of the season contender on his 100th appearance for the club.
Alexis Sanchez - 7.5
Looked a little leg weary at times, but still lit up the Emirates Stadium with a great goal.
Santi Cazorla - 8
His best performance for Arsenal this season. Set-up Sanogo's opener and caused the visitors big problems.
Yaya Sanogo - 7
A night the young Frenchman will never forget. Still very raw but his goal will do him the world of good.

Subs 
Flamini (on for Arteta 67 - 6.5) 
Podolski (on for Sanogo 79 - 6)
Campbell (on for Oxlade-Chamberlain 89)

BPL : Arsenal 1-2 Manchester Utd

Kieran Gibbs own goal and Wayne Rooney strike seals victory for Louis van Gaal's side

  • Manchester United took the lead in the second half after Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs put through his own net
  • United captain Wayne Rooney doubled their lead in the closing stages of the match with a left-footed chip
  • Olivier Giroud scored a consolation for the Gunners with a terrific strike, which made it for a nervy ending 
  • Jack Wilshere was lucky to escape a red card after appearing to headbutt Marouane Fellaini in the first half 
United's goal at Arsenal came following a cross from  Young that first-choice goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny (centre) could only punch United's goal at Arsenal came following a cross from Young that first-choice goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny (centre) could only punch

RATINGS: David De Gea and Chris Smalling stand out but Danny Welbeck misses out
ARSENAL (4-3-2-1)
Wojciech Szczesny - 5
Looked comfortable until his calamitous decision to come for Young's cross that led to United's opener and the Pole injuring a rib.
Calum Chambers - 6
Wasn't daunted by the task of shackling Di Maria. Looked a lot more assured than his last run out against Swansea.
Per Mertesacker - 6
Looked more assured than in previous matches, but still needs to improve. His lack of pace was exposed at times.
Nacho Monreal - 5.5
Again asked to play as a makeshift centre-back. Did a job, but the left-back looks so uncomfortable in the heart of defender.
Kieran Gibbs - 5.5
His lack of communication with Szczensy for United's opener cost Arsenal dear. A big blemish on an otherwise decent display.
Mikel Arteta - 6.5
Quietly went about his business in midfield and played a beautiful ball for Giroud's goal. 6.5
Aaron Ramsey - 5.5
Where are those dazzling midfield displays of last season? Kept things moving but still lacking last year's excellence.
Jack Wilshere - 7
It's going to be a restless night for the midfielder as he awaits a diagnosis on the ankle injury that saw him limp off.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 7.5
A major threat down the right for Arsenal. Blackett had no answer to the England man at times.
Danny Welbeck - 6.5
Inter changed from the left wing to the centre throughout Saturday's clash. Missed two decent chances.
Alexis Sanchez - 6.5
Not up to the standard we've become accustomed, perhaps feeling the effects of the international break. 
Subs
Santi Cazorla - 6
Brought on for the injured Wilshere. Couldn't unlock the door.
Emiliano Martinez - 5 
An unexpected substitution following Szczesny's injury. Only thing he really had to do was pick the ball out of the net.
Olivier Giroud - 6.5
Marked his long-awaited return from injury with a goal . Perhaps the only plus point from a miserable day for Arsenal.
Subs not used
Rosicky, Podoloski, Giroud, Cazorla, Flamini, Martinez, Bellerin
Manager 
Arsene Wenger - 5
His side are struggling. Big time. Needs to perk his players up for an important Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. 5

Ganjaran dua kali ganda

SKUAD Pahang dibawa berarak sekitar bandar Kuantan dengan menaiki SKUAD Pahang dibawa berarak sekitar bandar Kuantan dengan menaiki bas tidak berbumbung bagi meraikan kejayaan mereka merangkul Piala Malaysia di Kuantan, semalam. – UTUSAN/MAHATHIR ALI -  

KUANTAN - Jika tahun lalu, pemain Pahang menerima ganjaran RM30,000 seorang daripada kejayaan memenangi Piala Malaysia, namun tahun ini imbuhan yang bakal diterima boleh diibaratkan sebagai `durian runtuh’ apabila jumlah itu digandakan.

Perkara tersebut diumumkan oleh Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob pada majlis sambutan kepulangan skuad Tok Gajah yang memenangi Piala Malaysia di perkarangan Stadium Darul Makmur di sini, semalam.
Adnan berkata, jumlah tersebut sangat berbaloi dengan kejayaan mereka mempertahankan kejuaraan Piala Malaysia selepas menewaskan Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) 5-3 melalui penentuan sepakan penalti.
"Saya tidak mahu bagi tahu berapa, tetapi jumlahnya adalah 'double' daripada tahun sebelum ini. Saya rasa ganjaran tersebut sangat berbaloi untuk mereka," katanya di sini semalam.

Pada tahun lalu, Adnan mengumumkan ganjaran wang tunai RM30,000 kepada seluruh pemain, pegawai termasuk pasukan sokongan skuad Tok Gajah ekoran kejayaan mereka memenangi Piala Malaysia 2013.
Ini bermakna skuad Tok Gajah bakal menerima imbuhan lumayan sebanyak RM60,000 daripada kerajaan negeri jika mengambil kira ganjaran yang diterima juara berganda itu pada tahun lepas.
Menurut Adnan, ganjaran tersebut akan diberikan kepada seluruh pasukan termasuklah pemain, pegawai dan pasukan sokongan.

"Semua yang terlibat kita akan bagi termasuklah tukang buat air. Jumlah itu nanti kita umumkan, tetapi yang pasti ganjaran ini kita akan berikan secepat mungkin," katanya.
Dalam pada itu katanya, kejayaan yang dikecapi oleh Pahang ini merupakan usaha Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Pahang (PBNP), Tengku Abdul Rahman Sultan Ahmad Shah yang tidak mengenal erti lelah dalam memajukan bola sepak Pahang.

"Kerajaan negeri akan sentiasa memberikan sokongan padu kepada pasukan Pahang, tetapi tanpa sokongan penyokong kita tidak akan sampai ke tahap ini," katanya.

Pada aksi akhir Piala Malaysia Sabtu lalu, Pahang berjaya menundukkan pasukan JDT 5-3 menerusi penentuan sepakan penalti selepas kedua-dua pasukan terikat dengan keputusan seri 2-2.

Kejayaan itu juga merupakan kali kedua berturut-turut berjaya dicatat Pahang selepas memenangi trofi yang sama pada tahun lalu setelah menundukkan Kelantan 1-0.
