10 PESEPAK BOLA YANG SETIA TERHADAP KLUBNYA

10 Pesepakbola yang setia terhadap klub-nya
berharap

menolak

langsung simak aja gan.......


10. Pele



(Santos 1956-1974, New York Cosmos 1975-1976)
Pele memang mengakhiri kariernya di klub Amerika Serikat New York Cosmos. Namun sebagai pemain, ia lebih dikenal sebagai legenda Santos selama 18 tahun.

"Real Madrid menginginkan saya, bersama Manchester United dan Juventus," katanya pada Eurocalcio dalam sebuah wawancara tahun 2009.

Pele menambahkan, "Presiden Juventus bahkan hampir mencapai kesepakatan dengan Santos termasuk dukungan dari (pabrikan mobil Italia) Fiat. Saya pikir saya akan bermain di Eropa, tapi saya lebih memilih tetap di tim yang ada di hati saya, Santos."


9. Sepp Maier



(Bayern Muenchen 1962-1979)
Satu di antara segelintir kiper yang bertahan di satu klub - Bayern Muenchen. Maier menjadi andalan mistar the Bavarians selama 17 tahun. Ia meraih berbagai gelar termasuk Juara Dunia bersama nationalmannschaft pada 1974.

Maier hanya kalah oleh kiper Denmark Lars Hogh yang menghabiskan karier 23 tahun bersama Odense BK, tampil di lebih dari 800 pertandingan, sebelum pensiun tahun 2000.


8. Matthew Le Tissier



(Southampton 1986-2002)
Lahir di Guernsy Le Tiss, Tissier berpeluang memperkuat Prancis. Dengan talentanya dia bisa bersinar bersama Les Bleus ketimbang The Three Lions. Namun gelandang serang itu memilih tetap di Inggris meski hanya bermain 8 kali.

Suatu saat rekannya Alan Shearer mengajaknya bergabung ke Blackburn Rovers, sementara Manchester United juga tertarik. Le Tissier memilih tetap di Southampton sepanjang kariernya. Tak salah jika bintang Barcelona Xavi Hernandez mengaguminya dan menyebutnya 'pemain sensational.'


7. Lev Yashin



(Dynamo Moscow 1949-1971)
Terpilih sebagai kiper terbaik Abad ke-20, Yashin dijuluki The Black Spider karena kemampuan refleknya yang luar biasa. Veteran di tiga Piala Dunia, Yashin menjadi satu-satunya kiper yang pernah memenangkan gelar Ballon d'Or pada 1963.

Ia menghabiskan seluruh 22 tahun kariernya bersama Dynamo Moscow. Ia tetap di klub tersebut dua dekade kemudian sebelum wafat tahun 1990.


6. Alessandro Del Piero



(Padova 1991-1993, Juventus 1993-sekarang)
Mampu menyingkirkan karier Roberto Baggio di Juventus Anda haruslah seorang pemain yang spesial. Itulah yang dilakukan Del Piero ketika Si Nyonya Tua merekrutnya dari Padova pada 1993.

Kerap diisukan pindah ke Spanyol dan Inggris, Del Piero yang kini berusia 36 tahun tetap bertahan di Turin. Ketika Fabio Capello pindah ke Real Madrid, dan Juventus terdepak ke Seri B, ia juga memilih bertahan.

“Juventus adalah bagian dari sejarah hidup saya. Saya tak bisa memikirkan saya memperkuat klub lain di Italia. Saya akan tetap di sini sampai akhir,” katanya pada Sky Italia.


5. Jan Ceulemans



(Lierske SK 1974-1978, Club Brugge 1978-1992)
Bagi pendukung Belgia, tentunya takkan bisa melupakan seorang pemain yang begitu dominan menguasai lini tengah Belgia di tahun 1980-an. Ia adalah kapten yang mengantar Belgia ke peringkat empat di Piala Dunia Meksiko 1986 dan pemegang rekor cap tim nasional dengan 96 penampilan.

Ceulemans menghabiskan seluruh kariernya di Belgia. Setelah memperkuat Lierse ia pindahke Brugge pada 1978 dan bertahan selama 14 tahun.


4. Carles Puyol



(Barcelona 1997-sekarang)
Jika AC Milan punya Paolo Maldini maka Barcelona punya Carles Puyol. Rasanya sulit membayangkan pemain 32 tahun yang gampang dikenali dengan rambut kriwilnya itu menggunakan kostum lain selain Blaugrana.

Setelah menembus tim utama pada 1999, ia sempat dirayu Manchester United yang menginginkannya pada 2003. "United salah satu tim terbaik dunia dan semua pemain akan senang bergabung. Jika memang ini bagus untuk klub saya akan pergi, tapi keinginan saya adalah tetap di sini.” katanya."


3. Juan Carlos Plata



(Municipal 1990-2010)
Plata mungkin tak terkenal di Eropa, tapi di Amerika Tengah ia adalah mesin gol selama dua dekade. Striker ini memecahkan banyak rekor selama di Municipal, memenangkan 15 gelar dan mengejutkan Brasil ketika membuat gol balasan yang menahan raksasa dunia itu di Piala Dunia 1998.


2. Ryan Giggs



(Manchester United 1990-sekarang)
Sejak memulai kariernya di tim junior Manchester City, Giggs tak pernah lagi berniat meninggalkan The Red Devils. Ia menghabiskan lebih dari dua dekade di Old Trafford. AC Milan pernah menawarkan transfer luar biasa bagi Giggs demikian juga dengan presiden Inter Milan Massimo Moratti yang mengagumi pemain sayap asal Wales ini. Tahun 2003 Giggs dilamar Inter yang siap memberikan striker Brasil.

"Tak ada alasan serius kenapa saya harus meninggalkan klub ini. Memang pernah ada rumor pada 2002/2003 yang mengatakan saya bergabung dengan Inter tapi tak pernah terjadi," katanya.

Dengan 11 gelar Liga Primer dan mungkin akan bertambah lagi, Giggs seperti bukan pemain yang sudah berusia 37 tahun.


Spoiler for nih gan yang terakhir:
1. Paolo Maldini

(AC Milan 1985-2009)
Bicara AC Milan maka bicara soal Paolo Maldini. Sejak memulai debutnya di umur 16 tahun, Maldini tak pernah meninggalkan Rossoneri. Ia memenangkan 7 gelar Scudetto dan 5 gelar Eropa, Maldini adalah ikon kesuksesan klub San Siro itu selama lebih dari 20 tahun.

Bersama Franco Baresi dan Giuseppe Bergomi, Maldini bertahan di Milan sepanjang kariernya. Ia sempat dirayu mantan rekannya Ruud Gullit untuk bergabung dengan Chelsea pada 1997 namun ia bertahan sampai mengakhiri karier pada 2009.

Nama Maldini sepertinya akan berlanjut karena dua anaknya Christian dan Daniel adalah pemain di klub junior Milan.

Santino assembled a band of musicians in early 2008 with the help of The Maine prior to A Rocket to the Moon's first major festival appearance, at The Bamboozle.[2] They then appeared on the July 10, 2008 episode of Total Request Live performing the song "Dakota".[3] Contrary to previous rumors, A Rocket to the Moon were never signed to Decaydence Records by Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. Wentz had shown interest in the band and wanted to do a Fueled By Ramen/Decaydence split but the Decaydence side of the deal never worked out.[4][5] An official announcement of the signing to Fueled by Ramen was made in August 2008.[6] Separate tours supporting both The Cab[7] and A Cursive Memory[8] followed in the fall of 2008. They also toured with Cute Is What We Aim For, Secondhand Serenade, and Automatic Loveletter.[9] On October 14, 2008 the band released their EP Greetings From... (produced by Matt Grabe), featuring the singles "Dakota" and "If Only They Knew". The record reached #21 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[10]

On May 14, the band added touring guitarist Justin Richards and bassist Eric Halvorsen as full time members. They have also released a music video for If Only They Knew.

The band spent the first part of February and March 2009 in the studio with Matt Squire recording their debut full-length album.[11] They were the opening band on Alternative Press magazine's AP Tour 2009, with The Maine, Hit The Lights, Family Force 5, and 3OH!3 sponsored by Rockstar.[12] They played the May 3rd lineup of the 2009 Bamboozle festival in East Rutherford, New Jersey[13] and played select dates on the 2009 Vans Warped Tour [14] before going out with The Cab, Eye Alaska, The Summer Set, & My Favorite Highway on the "What Happens in Vegas... Tour". While on the Vans Warped Tour, the band did many signings with the non-profit organization Music Saves Lives, where they met with fans who gained special access to the band by donating blood.

In a interview dated August 2, the band revealed their full length album will be titled On Your Side, will include twelve tracks, and it will be out in October. Andrew Cook, formerly of prog-rock band The Receiving End of Sirens, will be made a full-time member upon release of the band's new album.[15]

On October 12, 2009 the band released their first full length album, On Your Side, featuring the single "Mr. Right". There is also a music video for "Mr. Right", which has more than 1.6 million YouTube views.

Australian singer-songwriter Caitlin Harnett features on the track "On a Lonely Night".

In the fall of 2009, they supported Boys Like Girls along with VersaEmerge, The Maine, and Cobra Starship on their Love Drunk tour presented by Op.

They played on the Take Action Tour presented by Hot Topic with Mayday Parade, There for Tomorrow, Stereo Skyline, and We the Kings in early 2010. In spring 2010, A Rocket To The Moon toured with Motion City Soundtrack, Sing it Loud, and Fun.

On select Warped Tour 2010 dates, Justin and Ashley of A Rocket To The Moon played acoustic sets. They will also opened for Hanson on select dates on their Shout It Out! tour.

A Rocket To The Moon will be second on the bill next to All Time Low, Before You Exit and City (Comma) State on the My Small Package Tour starting in October 2010.

Patrick Stump : Bicarakan Nasib Fall Out Boy

Nggak bubar, hanya istirahat.



Kecuali para personil Fall Out Boy, hingga kini nggak ada satupun yang mengetahui tentang kejelasan status band tersebut. Banyak yang bilang FOB bubar, pecah, ada juga yang bilang jika FOB sedang vakum. Baru-baru ini dalam sebuah wawancara dalam acara The Gunz Show, Patrick Stump mengungkapkan jika bandnya tersebut nggak mengalami perpecahan hanya istirahat untuk sementara.

“Fall Out Boy tidak pecah. Hal tersebut tidak akan pernah terjadi. Banyak pendengar yang berbicara kepada saya mengenai kekecewaan tentang rumor tersebut. Saya pribadi hanya bingung untuk menjawabnya. Kami hanya istirahat. Saya hanya bisa mengungkapkan hal tersebut,” ujarnya menjelaskan.

Apakah FOB akan kembali “bangun” di dunia musik internasional? Sepertinya tidak dalam waktu dekat ini. Pasalnya setiap personil sedang fokus terhadap proyek musik sampingan mereka masing-masing. Patrick Stump sedang memperispkan album solonya, Soul Punk , Pete Wentz berjalan dengan Black Cards, sedangkan Andy Hurley dan Joe Trohman juga disibukan dengan The Damned Things. Kita tunggu saja!

[edit] History

[edit] Formation and Try This with Your Eyes Closed (2004–2005)

Although the band's members first began playing together in Baltimore,[6] Maryland, Alesana officially formed in October 2004 in Raleigh, North Carolina and was founded by Shawn Milke, Patrick Thompson, Dennis Lee, Steven Tomany and Daniel Magnuson. The name of the band is was inspired from Aliceanna St., which Shawn Milke and Patrick Thompson lived on when playing in Baltimore, MD. Aliceanna St. is located in Fells Point, a neighborhood in Baltimore. Alesana was the first band to join Tragic Hero Records in 2005,[7] and their 3 demo songs titled "Apology", "Beautiful in Blue" and "Goodbye, Goodnight for Good" which were featured on a compilation All The Tragedy Money Can Buy. Later they released their debut EP, Try This With Your Eyes Closed, in May of that year. They toured in the United States, including an appearance at the Cornerstone Festival. In the same year Daniel Magnuson was replaced by Will Anderson.

July 22 of 2010, Shawn Milke posted a blog on the official Revolver website regarding his constant desire to write scripts, stories and music; considering The Emptiness his 'first printed story'.

The group announced a headlining tour entitled: Two Frail Weeks of Vanity and Wax, in which they would perform their debut album, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax in its entirety on each tour date of the tour along with stating that some songs would never be played again after the tour. The band stated that chosen VIP's will be involved within the testing of new tracks that are prepared to be included on their fourth studio album, which is going to be recorded in March 2011 with producer Kris Crummett.[20] On November 1, 2010, it was comfirmed that Alesana signed to Epitaph Records.[21]
