PELE ASEMA NEYMA BORA KULIKO MESI NA MARADONA
Former Brazil ace Pele has reopened the debate over who the world's best player is, again lauding Santos starlet Neymar as the globe's finest ahead of Barcelona's Lionel Messi and former Argentina player and coach Diego Maradona.
The 1958 World Cup winner has an uneasy
relationship with Maradona, with the pair often engaging in discussions
over who is the world's current and best ever footballers.
"For me, Maradona was a great player, but only really used his left leg. Messi resembles him in that sense," the former Santos and New York Cosmos forward opined at a book unveiling in Sao Paolo.

"[Neymar] has the potential to overcome both by being more complete."
Pele scored an astonishing 1,281 goals during his career, which spanned from 1956 to 1977. Neymar has so far racked up 133, and his admirer admits it will be hard for him to equal or better his tally.
"It is hard to say yes or no, but it will be difficult," the 71-year old chuckled.
"Neymar is an exceptional player, but at times he has showed he is not mature enough for some responsibilities. He has ability."
Neymar recently returned to his club following Brazil's unsuccessful Olympic campaign, which saw them miss out on a gold medal following their 2-1 final loss against Mexico. The forward was often the subject of cheers at the event, and Pele believes this would have not happened in his time as a player.
"Today the players send a kiss to the camera and it appears worldwide. In my day, we had to play in every country to be known. It's only because I didn't play on the moon that I wasn't famous there," the Brazilian joked.

TBL YAIDHAMINI TAIFA STARS KWA MIAKA 5
Grand Malt, ambacho ni kinywaji kisicho na kilevi kitakuwa kikidhamini Ligi Kuu ya Zanzibar. Hii ni kuonyesha namna TBL ilivyo mstari wa mbele katika kuhamasisha soka si kwa Bara tu bali na Visiwani. Mkataba huu ni wa miaka mitatu na utamalizika mwaka 2015 ukiwa na thamani ya Sh milioni 140 kila mwaka.
Kwa upande wake, Rais wa TFF, Lodger Tenga aliahidi kutoa ushirikiano thabiti kwa wadhamini wapya kwani anaamini mkataba huo utaleta mapinduzi chanya katika soka nchini Tanzania. Hata hivyo, aliwaomba Watanzania kuwa na uzalendo kwa timu yao ya taifa kwa kuishangilia kwa wingi kwenye mechi zake.
“Hakuna jema lolote kama tutakuwa na ari ya kuzishabikia timu za nje badala ya ya timu ya nyumbani, wachezaji wetu wanahitaji moyo wawapo uwanjani kwa kushangiliwa ipasavyo,” alisema.
Naye Meneja wa Bia ya Kilimanjaro, George Kavishe alisema udhamini huo ni wa thamani na kwamba watafanya kila liwezekanalo kuisaidia TFF kuhakikisha kuwa Taifa Stars inang’ara katika anga za kimataifa na hivyo kukidhi kiu ya Watanzania.
“Hii ni mara ya kwanza kuidhamini Taifa Stars na tunataka kuja kwa mtindo mpya na wa kipekee, tunataka Watanzania wajivunie timu yao kwa sababu ukarimu huanzia nyumbani…tuwape moyo wachezaji wetu na tujivunie kilicho chetu,” alisema.

PODOLSKI RASMI ATUA ARSENAL
Lukas Podolski
Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that a deal has been agreed to sign German international striker Lukas Podolski on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.
The Polish-born attacker will team up with the Gunners in the summer ahead of the 2012/13 season from Bundesliga side FC Cologne, where he has been in fine form this season, netting 18 times in 28 league appearances.
After spending his early years training and playing with FC Bergheim 2000, the 26-year-old joined the youth set-up at Cologne in 1995, before making his first-team debut in 2003. After three successful seasons with Cologne he moved to Bayern Munich in 2006. He spent three seasons with Bayern before re-joining FC Cologne in 2009 and is now regarded as one of the leading strikers in the Bundesliga.
Podolski has made 95 appearances for Germany and scored 43 goals since making his debut as a 19-year-old in 2004. He made a huge impact with a series of impressive performances at the 2006 World Cup, where he scored three times and followed this up with three more goals at Euro 2008.
Podolski was also part of the Germany team that produced a number of eye-catching displays at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, including a goalscoring contribution in the 4-1 win over England in Bloemfontein in the last 16. He also featured for ‘Die Geißböcke’ in the pre-season friendly against Arsenal at the RheinEnergieStadion last July.
Manager Arsène Wenger said: “We are delighted to secure the deal for Lukas and see him as an important part of our future. He is a top-class player, a very good finisher and a proven performer at club and international level. He is a very strong player and will provide us with good attacking options.

"We are happy to have made this signing early and we are looking forward to watching Lukas contribute at the European Championship over the summer, a level where he has already made 95 caps at the age of 26. That is a phenomenal record and just shows his quality as a player.”
Speaking about his move, Podolski said: “I’m so happy to be joining Arsenal Football Club and to play in the Premier League. Arsenal is one of the top clubs in Europe with a huge history. There are many top quality players at Arsenal and the style of football which the team plays is fantastic. I’m proud to become an Arsenal player and am looking forward to playing my first match at Emirates Stadium and doing my best for all the Arsenal fans.

“I am looking forward to becoming an Arsenal player, but at the moment my focus is with my current club, FC Cologne. I will give everything I have until the end of season to make sure the team finish as high as possible in the Bundesliga. There will always be a place in my heart for FC Cologne.”
