Ancelotti backs Marcelo as
the world best full-back following criticism of the star by Brazil coach Dunga
last week. The Brazil coach has excluded Marcelo from the team since his rise
to the helm, giving the defense that the Real Madrid player went "on the
attack in the World Cup twenty times" but scored no goals. He added that
he "pushed forward too often." But Ancelotti rescued the former
Selceo captain with the claim that he oughtn't be blamed for Brazil's struggle.
Real coach said it's unlikely that Brazil's bad world cup was due to Marcelo,
rather he is the best full-back in the world. And if the national team is set
to relegate Marcelo, Madrid will be glad to have the star, declared Ancelotti.
Wilfried Bony has completed his big-money move from Swansea to Premier League champions Manchester City.The Ivorian striker, who is on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, joins Manuel Pellegrini's side for an nitial fee in the region of £25million with another £3m inadd-ons over four years. Bony, 26, has agreed a four-and-a-half year deal. He willwear the No 14 shirt worn previously by Javi Garcia. 'It’s a great feeling for me, it’s a big honour to be here and it’s a great challenge,' said Bony.
