Internacional – Barcelona também na «corrida» por Hugo Viana


ASF
Espanha parece ser mesmo uma alternativa para Hugo Viana no caso de se confirmar a pretensão do Newcastle em emprestar o jogador português. Esta quarta-feira, o diário Sport volta a abordar o assunto e revela a possibilidade de o Barcelona estar na corrida.


«O centro-campista tinha previsto regressar ao seu antigo clube, o Sporting, para recuperar a sua melhor forma antes do Euro-2004. Mas o suposto interesse do Barcelona nos seus serviços e as boas relações do clube com o técnico Bobby Robson podem ajudar para que o português chegue ao Camp Nou.»

É desta forma que o referido diário espanhol aborda a possibilidade de Hugo Viana ingressar no Barcelona, depois de também já ter falado que o jogador poderia ingressar no outro clube da cidade condal, o Espanhol.

Sporting – Bölöni e o regresso de Viana a Alvalade: «É um passo atrás...»


ASF
O treinador romeno Laszlo Bölöni, que lançou o jovem Hugo Viana na equipa principal do Sporting aquando da sua passagem pelo comando técnico da formação leonina, comentou hoje, em declarações à Rádio Renascença, o regresso do jogador, por empréstimo do Newcastle, a Alvalade.


«Sinceramente penso que é um passo atrás...», começou por afirmar o treinador, não escondendo considerar que a decisão do médio «internacional» português não foi a melhor.

«Queria ver a combatividade do Hugo Viana, para lutar pela sua posição. Algumas vezes o sucesso chega mais tarde, com mais trabalho e mais sacrifício. Os jogadores têm de compreender que a solução está nas suas capacidades para resolver os problemas», explicou Bölöni, defendendo que somente permanecendo no Newcastle o jogador poderia dar um passo em frente na sua carreira.

«O Europeu é apenas um episódio numa carreira», prosseguiu o técnico romeno, quando confrontado com a necessidade de Viana jogar de forma mais assídua para conseguir merecer a confiança de Scolari para a fase final do Euro2004. «É importante, claro, mas não será o mais importante da sua carreira. Creio que mais importante para ele seria encontrar a solução para jogar [no Newcastle] e avançar com a sua carreira», rematou.

If he goes to Barca he'll just sit on the bench there also. Barca is showing why they have money problems. This just doesn't make sence to any of the parties involved.

Ameobi desfalca Newcastle durante um mês



O avançado do Newcastle Shola Ameobi vai desfalcar a equipa orientada por «sir» Bobby Robson até final do mês de Janeiro, em virtude de uma fractura num osso da face, contraída no recente encontro dos «magpies», para a Premier League, ante o Charlton.


A extensão do problema do internacional sub-21 inglês foi confirmada hoje pelo técnico Bobby Robson, adiantando que o avançado só deverá regressar ao activo em finais de Janeiro, falhando deste modo os próximos seis compromissos do Newcastle.

A lesão de Ameobi chega na pior altura para a equipa britânica, que se encontra bastante limitada em termos de opções ofensivas, na medida em que, para além do jovem avançado, também vão estar indisponíveis para os próximos encontros o lesionado Craig Bellamy e o congolês Lomana LuaLua, que deverá viajar para o seu país nos próximos dias, com o intuito de preparar a participação da sua selecção na Taça das Nações Africanas.

Futebol Internacional – Bobby Robson impede regresso de Hugo Viana


ASF
O técnico do Newcastle, Bobby Robson, revelou hoje que não vai permitir o empréstimo de Hugo Viana ao Sporting, por causa das várias lesões que afectam o plantel inglês.


«Acabo de passar quase meio-dia com ele (Viana) e a situação, neste momento, é assim: o Hugo Viana vai ficar por cá. Temos quatro meses e meio de futebol para serem jogados e não sei o que é que vai acontecer em termos de lesões», assegurou Bobby Robson, em declarações à imprensa inglesa.

O internacional português pretendia regressar ao Sporting para ter mais oportunidades de jogar e assim fazer parte dos eleitos de Scolari para o Euro-2004, mas perante esta situação, Hugo Viana, que tem sido pouco utilizado, terá mais dificuldades em estar presente no Euro-2004.

«Estou a par da frustração do Hugo, compreendo-o. O rapaz é um jogador fantástico e não está na equipa de momento. Em Abril, podemos estar nas meias-finais da Taça UEFA, podemos ter lesões e, aí, o Hugo estaria em Portugal. Estou a tentar que ele compreenda. Ele só tem olhos para si, mas estamos a tentar que ele perceba que há mais que isso.»

Bobby Robson one of my favorite coach's but he fail dealing with Hugo Viana, I don't think he ever saw him play before he sign him to a contract, if he needed a wing player he shoulded went after Ronaldo or Quaresma, he always played the kid out of position, lately not even 10 minutes, not even in uniform, like he was getting rid of him, and know with all the injuries he doesn't want to let him go, the damage my be done already.

[Thatslife]

both him and postiga has had problems gettinginto the leage and english playing style, while ronaldo has been setteling nicelly... it's ofcourse the player, but its imo mostly the backing and the managers ability to play a foreign player the right way...

[Frank Cunha]

its young kids minds, on Ronaldo you got give Alex Ferguson the credit, he knows are use young talent, maybe old men Robson lost it.

Viana angry after Newcastle block Sporting loan


Click to enlarge photo
LISBON (AFP) - Newcastle United's Portuguese midfielder Hugo Viana has blasted the club's manager, Sir Bobby Robson, for refusing his request to be loaned back to Sporting Lisbon for the rest of the season.

"Bobby Robson was not fair to me, I deserved more respect," the 20-year-old player told Portuguese sports daily A Bola.

Viana, who joined the Magpies for 8.5 million pounds (15 million dollars) from Sporting in July 2002, is keen to return to Portugal in order to boost his chances of earning a place in his country's squad for the Euro 2004 finals.

The European Young Player of the Year has had little time on the pitch since joining the English Premiership side, having played for roughly 100 minutes this season in occasional appearances as a substitute.

"I would have liked the coach to have been more sincere with me, he was not honest," said Viana. "The opportunities Robson promised me never arrived."

Viana added he had agreed to take a 60 percent salary cut in order to return to Sporting, and was on the verge of signing a loan agreement with the Portuguese side but Robson scuttled the move at the last minute.

But Robson, who has coached Portuguese giants Sporting and FC Porto in the past, told the paper Newcastle has too many injured players at the moment and the team could not afford to lose Viana as well.

"I need Hugo, I have six players out of commission and if I let him go it would be seven. I need him here," said Robson, adding he had spent hours with Viana on Tuesday to explain the reasons for his decision.

The 70-year-old Newscastle coach added he sympathised with Viana's dream of being part of the Portuguese national team and would give the player more time on the pitch in the new year.

"I invested millions of pounds in Hugo. I will not give up, he will appear in force. I hope he will be strong and also does not give up."

Robson added he was even planning on speaking to Luiz Felipe Scolari in order to persude Portugal's World Cup-winning coach that Viana deserves a spot on the Portuguese national team.

"One of these days I will call Scolari and I will talk to him about Hugo Viana. I will tell him to call him up for the next few matches of the national squad because he deserves it."

As hosts, Portugal automatically qualify for the Euro 2004 finals, which will take place from June 12 to July 4.

The Portuguese side is scheduled to play five more times before the start of the championship in friendly matches intended to prepare for the event.

Three of those matches have already been scheduled - England on February 18, Italy on March 31 and Sweden on April 28.

Stubborn Robson says it's no-go Hugo



By Rob Stewart

NEWCASTLE, England, Dec 24 (Reuters) - Newcastle manager Bobby Robson is refusing to allow Portuguese midfielder Hugo Viana to return to Sporting Lisbon on loan and will not review the decision until the end of next month at the earliest.

The 20-year-old Viana joined the English premier league club in July 2002 for 8.5 million pounds ($15 million) but has been unable to force his way into the first team on a regular basis, a situation that could damage his chances of representing Portugal at Euro 2004.
"I know he would like to go on loan but I'm staying firm in keeping all the quality players here at the club for what is ahead of us this season," Robson told reporters.

"We will review the situation at the end of January but he does not have a cat in hell's chance of leaving before then.

"At the moment, Hugo Viana, subject to my decision alone, supported by the chairman, is staying here.

"In principle I don't see that situation changing. Who knows what might happen here in the next four or five months in terms of further injuries we may incur?

"We have six players injured at the moment and I cannot let Hugo go. Supposing we were still in the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup in April and we were still fighting for fourth in the Premiership. What good is Hugo to us then if he is in Portugal?

"I'm trying to get him to understand that. He sees himself and that's all he can see. He doesn't see the wider picture. I'm fully aware that he's frustrated and the boy's a fantastic player."

Robson confirmed that officials from Sporting Lisbon had been in touch with Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd who had delegated the matter to the St James's Park manager.

Viana's cause has not been helped by a hip injury that has sidelined fellow midfielder Lee Bowyer and Robson said he could require surgery that would keep him out of action for three months.

Robson needs to do whats best for Newcastle and not Viana. If Hugo can't see that then he's the one with the problem. Hugo should be bust his ass to try to start.
