Stuttgartul lui Marica nu iarta. Svabii au castigat cu 2-0 in fata celor de la Hannover.

Golurile fostei campioane din Bundesliga au fost marcate de Gomez, in minutul 18, si Pardo in minutul 40, din penalty.

Ciprian Marica a fost titular, insa in finalul primei reprize s-a accidentat si a avut nevoie de ingrijiri medicale, iar dupa pauza nu a mai revenit de la vestiare, el fiind inlocuit cu Khedira.

Marica se numara printre stranierii convocati de selectionerul Romaniei, Victor Piturca, pentru partidele cu Lituania si Insulele Feroe, primele pentru "tricolori" in preliminariile Cupei Mondiale din 2010, din Africa de Sud.

Bundesliga deadline day round-up

Alex Silva saluted his Sao Paulo team-mates before moving to SV Hamburg to sign a five-year deal. The 23-year-old, who won the bronze medal in Beijing with Brazil, has set sights on returning to his old club in the future.

"My spell here is not complete as I would have loved to win a Copa Libertadores and a World Cup", said Silva.

"Anyway, I can look back on a successful time, as nobody knew me before and I won two Brazilian leagues."

"Sao Paulo signed me with a lot of defects, but now I leave as a complete man. I want to make history and be a leader of the Hamburg team. Then I hope I can come back to Sao Paulo to end my career."

Promoted Cologne have signed Croatian goalkeeper Miro Varvodic on a free loan deal from Hajduk Split, with an option to sign the 18-year-old.

"That gives us the opportunity to watch him in training for a long time before we decide whether to buy him or not", sporting director Michael Meier commented.

Hertha Berlin feel Liverpool striker Andrey Voronin will add a lot to their side.

"We have opted for Andrey because he knows the Bundesliga, speaks German and can play in various systems", Hertha sporting director Dieter Hoeness told Morgenpost Online.

Podolski Shocker: I Shouldn't Have Signed For Bayern!

Lukas Podolski has admitted to being increasingly concerned that signing for Bayern Munich was a bad career move.

"I wouldn't have had I known that things were going to turn out like this," was Podolski's frank response when asked whether he still would have signed for Bayern had he been able to foresee what was in store for him in Munich.

"I'm not complaining though. I'm just not happy with the situation," he insisted.

Bayern director Uli Hoeness recently suggested that the ex 1.FC Koeln star needs a good kick in the butt, to which 'Prince Poldi' responded: "Why would he need to kick my behind? I've barely played at all this season, so it's not like I've been under-performing."

When pressed on whether he would consider a move abroad, Podolski replied: "Everything is possible."

He added: "I would be a bad footballer if I contented myself by sitting on the bench.

"I could tolerate it if it was a case of two or three weeks, but there comes a point when one has to draw the line and say: 'This is too much! I'm not making any progress here.' That's just human nature."

Ribery back in training at Bayern

French midfielder Franck Ribery took part in full training with Bayern Munchen on Thursday for the first time since his Euro 2008 ankle injury and expects to play again by the end of September.

Having torn ankle ligaments in June, the 25-year-old trained with his team-mates under new Bayern coach Jurgen Klinsmann in Munchen watched by more than a thousand fans.

"He is working day after day with more energy, Franck is getting more and more confidence", said Klinsmann.

The Bayern boss expects Ribery to return for the German giants on September 27 for the Bundesliga match against Hannover.

The Frenchman damaged his ankle playing for his country in the 2-0 defeat at the hands of Italy on Tuesday June 17 during the Euro 2008 group stages and underwent surgery two days later.

Bundesliga - Voronin relishing Bundesliga return

The Ukraine striker penned a year-long loan deal in Berlin on transfer deadline day, sealing a return to the country where he spent an enjoyable 12-year period before moving to Anfield.

"Hertha is a fine club with a young and very good team. It is a very, very exciting task ahead of me," he told Hertha's official website.

"The team has a lot of potential and good players like Arne Friedrich, Mark Pantelic or Joe Simunic to name but a few.

"Of course it is a brilliant league and the atmosphere is very special, but the difference between the Premier League and the Bundesliga is not huge."

Voronin may have passed up on the chance of playing Champions League football this season but he believes Hertha are nevertheless a quality side.

He said: "Hertha are a young team with a lot of potential. Hertha is an ambitious club and I want to play a part in their goals.

"I think qualification for the UEFA Cup is a realistic target, and of course we want to progress as far as possible in this year's competition."

Mijlocasul francez al lui Bayern Munchen si-a terminat perioada de recuperare dupa accidentarea suferita la Euro si anunta ca este gata pentru debutul in Liga Campionilor, primul meci fiind cu Steaua.

Frank Ribery se accidentase in meciul dintre Franta si Italia de la Euro, cand nationala cocosului galic a fost eliminata de catre italieni, care au continuat in sfeturi.

Mijlocasul promovat de Hagi la Galatasaray si-a reluat antrenamentele cu Bayern, insa medicii germani estimeaza ca va fi in forma maxima doar la meciul cu Fiorentina din grupele Ligii.

Three Bundesliga matchdays have been played, and the international break offers the opportunity to analyse proceedings so far. And goals scored are always important.

"Once you start thinking it's already too late anyway", legendary Bayern and Germany striker Gerd Müller once said. bundesliga.de takes a look at the best attacks so far.

Leverkusen: most goals scored

80 goals have been scored so far, seven more than after three matchdays of the previous season. The best attack of the Bundesliga so far: Bayer Leverkusen with nine goals scored, five of them in the recent 5-2 victory over 1899 Hoffenheim.

And even if new Bayer coach Bruno Labbadia tries to dampen the euphoria it's already clear that his team has already internalised his attacking philosophy.

Not only have Bayer scored more goals than any other team, they have also had more attempts (46) than anyone else. Patrick Helmes alone had 15 of these. 52.2% of all attempts were on target, and almost 20% hit the back of the net.

Dangerous duo

Strikers Stefan Kießling (three) and Helmes (two) have bagged five out out of nine goals, and Helmes told bundesliga.de that they "link up very well".

"Stefan Kießling is a strike partner who runs a lot. We complement each other. He is better in the air than I am. It's great that all strikers score", the new signing from Cologne adds.

And the team supports the attack. No less than eleven Bayer players have already been directly involved in goals, Kießling (four) and Tranquillo Barnetta (three) are among the Bundesliga's top 10 in that respect.

Impressive newcomers

1899 Hoffenheim have been impressive, too. Vedad Ibisevic is joint top of the goal-scoring charts with four goals, together with Bielefeld's Artur Wichniarek.

The Bosnian is supported by Demba Ba and Sejad Salihovic. Ba goes for goal, too, and had seven out of nine shots on target. Salihovic supported the attacks with 19 crosses from open play, more than any other Bundesliga player.

Unpredictable HSV

Hamburger SV have the second-best attack with eight goals. New coach Martin Jol banks on attacking football, contrary to predecessor Huub Stevens. HSV have taken 26.7% of their chances, more than any other team.

And it's hard to predict who will come up with the goals. Paolo Guerrero, David Jarolim, Joris Mathijsen, Ivica Olic and Piotr Trochowski have all scored one each, and defender Bastian Reinhardt leads the club's goal-scoring charts following his brace in Bielefeld.

Two teams still goalless

Energie Cottbus and Hannover 96 are the only Bundesliga sides still waiting for their first goal of the season, test matches in midweek have brought new hope, however.

96 scored 19 goals against TSV Friesen Hänigsen while Energie put 15 goals past Senftenberger FC 08.

Ribery va rata probabil meciul cu Steaua

Pe 17 septembrie, Steaua va juca primul sau meci in grupa F a Ligii Campionilor. Si o veste buna. Bayern Munchen va veni in Ghencea aproape sigur fara cel mai bun jucator al sau, francezul Franck Ribery. Mijlocasul in virsta de 25 de ani a efectuat astazi intiiul antrenament colectiv din acest sezon la munchenezi, dar Jurgen Klinsmann a dezvaluit ca Ferraribery ar putea reveni oficial in tricoul alb-rosu de-abia la sfirsitul lui septembrie. “Franck se simte din ce in ce mai bine, are tot mai multa incredere”, a declarat antrenorul lui Bayern. Totusi, Turbo Franck va evolua probabil pe 27 septembrie, in partida din deplasare cu Hannover. Ribery s-a accidentat pe 17 iunie, in meciul “nationalei” Frantei cu Italia (0-2 la Euro). S-a ales cu o ruptura de ligamente la glezna stinga, fiind operat doua zile mai tirziu.

Vedeta lui Bayern Munchen, Podolski, o refuza pe Real si spune ca nu se gandeste inca la un transfer in Spania.

Steaua nu scapa de pericol in Champions League. Urmarit intens de Real, Podolski prefera sa ramana in Germania la Bayern Munchen.

"Nu este momentul sa vorbesc despre un transfer al meu la Real Madrid. Sunt concentrat acum pe meciurile din preliminariile pentru campionatul mondial", a spus Podolski pentru spanioli.

Daca Podolski se va accepta totusi in curand un eventual transfer in Spania, el se va efectua in iarna, cand fereastra de transferuri se va deschide.

SV Hamburg a inaugurat un cimitir pentru suporteri

Viitoarea adversară a celor de la Unirea Urziceni, SV Hamburg, a inaugurat o secţiune rezervată suporterilor echipei într-un cimitir din oraş, situat la aproape 100 de metri de stadionul nemţilor.

Amenajările pentru acest sector au durat aproape un an şi au avut ca scop de a se realiza "o ambianţă fotbalistică".

"Pot fi săpate între 300 şi 500 de morminte", a explicat Christian Reichert, membru al comitetului de conducere al clubului şi iniţiatorul proiectului, primul de acest gen din Europa.

Clubul din Hamburg a câştigat şase campionate ale Germaniei şi o Cupă a Campionilor Europeni, în 1983. În prezent, adversara ialomiţenilor în Cupa UEFA ocupă locul 2 în Bundesliga, cu 7 puncte
