N.B-52: I’m Not Quite 100% Yet

Featured player Nicklas Bendtner feels he is not yet quiet 100% in sharpness although the Denmark attacker feels he is obviously in better shape than 2 years ago when he & Denmark travelled to South Africa for the World Cup 2010 where he had a groin injury. Denmark face Brazil on Saturday in a International Friendly in Hamburg, Germany which is sure to be a really good encounter. Bendtner is likely to start in this game in a crucial preparation for the Euro’s.

N.B-52 : . . .

I’m in OK shape. Of course it is better this time because I have not been injured. I’m not in my life-form, but it brings me. I have two weeks here, and there are three weeks to Euro 12′ starts. It’s plenty of time to get the last 10-15 percent of what is missing.  

It was suggested by a journalist that maybe Training in Sunderland and the lower number of matches in the week could be the reason …

 I do not know. I’ve just not been. This could be explained by the fact that we have trained a little differently and this is the first time I’ve only played Saturday-Saturday-Saturday. Previously, I have been accustomed to play two or three times a week at Arsenal. I feel that I get tired faster now, and we go pretty hard for it.

N.B-52′s All Time World XI

Nicklas Bendtner in a Danish interview was asked to name his all time favourite eleven, In a 4-3-3 he went with a offensive team. In his younger Arsenal reserve’s days N.B-52 on a few occasions played alongside Ashley Cole and rates the Left-Back very highly,  also includes ex Premier League wing wizard Cristiano Ronaldo.

Buffon

Cafu – Beckenbauer – Maldini – Cole

Xavi – Zidane – Cruyff

Messi – Pele – C. Ronaldo

N.B-52 on Cristiano Ronaldo and former teammate:

 Ok, I do not want to stare at him, but his grades are insane. I love a little self-confidence and arrogance, but the boy is because of the wild … but, hey, vice versa, so he can do whatever he pleases. Have heard that he lives like a robot with food, sleep, exercise, etc., and you can see.

We can not take anything from him, he is probably as complete as you can be as a footballer .. He hits records all the time and no, it’s not others – it is his own … He writes history already.  I played with Ashley Cole of Arsenal, and since then I’ve been crazy about his style. He can do everything a back could be, but most of all he is a formidable defender. 

Ronaldo has said that Cole is the hardest he has played against in a 1-on-1 situation, and I can only agree with him. Ashley is quick, good with the ball, calm, deliberate and violent in its action. On top of it causes him problems for the opponent’s defense when he is not defending. He should have won more in his career but he still has time.

Question is if you had to choose a world XI, who would be in it ?

NB52 Plays The 90 Mins But Sunderland Slip To A Undeserved 1-2 Defeat Late On *Video Highlights Here*

Nothing seems to be going so right for Sunderland at the moment, The Mackems created several chances before going down to a 1-2 loss in stoppage time from a miscommunication from the defender and the keeper. Featured player Nicklas Bendtner is still finding his feet in his new club, on his 10th appearance,  He had a relatively quiet game yesterday, but played a part in Sunderland’s first goal cutting back onto his right foot, before smashing a low effort that bounced up towards Al-Habsi, who fumbled it and it fell to Swedish midfielder Sebastian Larsson who smashed it in from close range. Wigan Athletic’s lively winger Victor Moses dropped his shoulder and got into the box before taking a drop he was deemed to be tripped by Seb Larsson, but replays showed there was minimum contact, if any and Jordi Gomez tucked home the penalty just before the break to give the Latics the momentum into the 2nd period.

The second half was more of the same from Sunderland, players working overtime to get 3 points to get out of the lower sides of the Barclays Premier League. N.B-52 was coming deep quiet abit, but ocasionally the Mackems’ midfield were struggling to find him. With 4 minutes time added on after the 90 mins, it looked if any team was gunna take the spoils it would be Sunderland, but suddenly Gohouri of Wigan cleared his lines with a long high clearance deep into the Sunderland half which Wes Brown firstly looked like he dealt with well at first but when he got the ball back from Westwood he took a loose touch, Wigan capitalised from this error and squared for Franco Di Santo who tapped in, it would be the decisive kick of the game as boo’s and jeers rang unfortunately around the Stadium Of Light @ the final whistle.
