of injury time to force extra time against Italy | Forum

MADRID - Young right back Daniel Carvajal was presented to Real Madrids supporters on Friday, completing his return to his boyhood club. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Jose-Gimenez-Jersey/ . Madrid exercised a buyback option to recover Carvajal after his breakout season with German club Bayer Leverkusen. "Back in 2002 I put on a Real Madrid shirt for the first time and started to fight for a dream that today I have fulfilled," Carvajal told a few hundred Madrid fans who had turned out to welcome him home. "Thanks to the club president and the fans for all the support they have shown me. I want to thank them for the trust they placed in me during the 10 years I was here and the year I was away, although I didnt break ties with the club." The 21-year-old Carvajal signed a six-year contract with Madrid. He joins attacking midfielder Francisco "Isco" Alarcon as Madrids signings this off-season after both helped Spain win the under-21 European title. In his season with Leverkusen, he scored one goal and made seven assists to help the team finish third in the Bundesliga and qualify for the Champions League. Madrid paid Leverkusen €6.5 million to bring Carvajal back after having received €5 million for him in 2012. Carvajal gives Madrids new coach, Carlo Ancelotti, a reliable backup to veteran Alvaro Arbeloa, or perhaps even his replacement. Former coach Jose Mourinho often had to rely on midfielder Michael Essien to fill in for Arbeloa last season. Madrid has been criticized in recent years for not giving its own youth products a chance to make its first squad. Madrid president Florentino Perez said that Carvajal will serve as an example for all of Madrids youth players, showing them that it is indeed possible to earn a place on its first team packed with stars like Cristiano Ronaldo. "This club believes in its youth program, but it is very tough to reach the first team," Perez said, adding directly to Carvajal: "You know perfectly well the high demands this club makes of its players. Your moment has arrived, and I know that you will make this most of it." http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Antonio-Adan-Jersey/ . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Filipe-Luis-Jersey/ . Dusautoir, the former World Player of the Year, sustained a torn bicep playing for Toulouse in the Heineken Cup on Saturday. The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Angel-Correa-Jersey/ . LOUIS -- St. SAINT-DENIS, France -- Wasteful finishing came back to haunt France in the European Championship final against Portugal on Sunday, with even tournament top scorer Antoine Griezmann missing chance after chance.Despite being willed on by an entire country and a packed French crowd, France failed to come up with any original ideas against a stubborn Portugal defense rallied by unyielding defender Pepe.Midway through the second half, Griezmann reached for Kingsley Comans cross from the left and headed over from a few meters out. Deep into injury time, substitute Andre-Pierre Gignac hit the post with the goal at his mercy.Although Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio made several good saves, including one outstanding leaping save from Griezmanns looping header in the ninth minute and another athletic stop to palm away Moussa Sissokos long-range drive in the 8th, his other stops were more comfortable.Coach Didier Deschamps will have felt a familiar feeling of frustraation. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Juanfran-Jersey/. Although France finished top scorers with 13 goals, it squandered chances throughout the group stage, needing an 89th-minute goal from Dimitri Payet to beat Romania 2-1 in the opening game and with Griezmann breaking the deadlock against Albania in the 90th.He scored freely after that, netting five goals in the knockout stage to help France reach its first final since the 2006 World Cup.In the final, his goal touch deserted him.At the final whistle, center half Laurent Koscielny squatted on his knees, head down. But it was not the defense that let France down.When France won Euro 2000, it needed an equalizing goal from Sylvain Wiltord with the last kick of injury time to force extra time against Italy. Striker David Trezeguet then scored the Golden Goal winner.Sixteen years later, there was no such happy ending.
