Champions League News - Boot Spotting! - 17/09/09

Editor — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:21:00 GMT

Our keen SoccerBible boot spotters found there was a wide variety of football boots on show during lastnight's Champions League matches. There were some excellent individual performances from players wearing boots they clearly feel comfortable in to deliver on the pitch...

MADJID BOUGHERRA

Nike Vapor Mercurial SL football boots

You don't see many players wearing Nike Mercurial SL football boots, but only a year ago they were the top of the range, most sought after boot. And it was Ranger's Madjid Bougherra who provided us with the reminder, surging forward from the halfway line before drilling the ball into the bottom corner, as Rangers drew 1-1 away to Stuttgart.

ANDRIY SHEVCHENKO

Reebok Valde Pro football boots

Shevchenko is back at the club were it all began over ten years ago, but he has proven he can still be inspirational to his Kiev colleagues. Shevchenko was playing in the white/blue Valde Pro football boots which match his Dynamo Kiev football kit, as his team defeated Rubin Kazan 3-1.

EDUARDO

Nike Vapor V football boots

Eduardo turned from villain to hero by scoring a late winner for Arsenal, creatively using his knee to turn the ball into the back of the net for a 3-2 victory over Standard Liege. Earlier in the game Eduardo had tried to show off with a cheeky back heel, but it was the wrong place and wrong time as it gifted Liege an early lead.

FREDERIC KANOUTE

Joma Total Fit 91football boots

Joma is largely worn by players in Spain, shame really as they produce quality boots. But Freddie Kanoute is one player who benefits from their performance, wearing the Total Fit football boots which are made from a single piece of leather. Kanoute was unable to get on the score sheet, but had a solid game during Sevilla's 2-0 victory over Unirea Urziceni.

GLEN JOHNSON

Lotto Zhero Leggenda football boots

Glen Johnson has become a potent weapon in Liverpool's attack, but everyone insists on talking about his defensive attributes. Does anyone care about how good in defence Roberto Carlos or Dani Alves are? A unique boot choice for Johnson as he wears the Lotto Leggenda, and he was on good form in Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Debrecen.

SULLEY MUNTARI

Nike AZT Supremacy football boots

Most interesting boot choice of the evening goes to Inter Milan's Sulley Muntari, wearing the Nike AZT Supremacy football boots, a modern day classic which clearly still has the performance attributes to cope with the modern game.

The Champions League returned with a bang lastnight, with over twenty goals hitting the back of the net. There were some star performances, and some intriguing football boots on show, here's the SoccerBible's Champions League highlights...

CRISTIANO RONALDO

Nike Vapor Superfly football boots

Those eagle-eyed Vapor fans out there may have noticed Cristiano Ronaldo wearing a unique mixed-stud sole-plate on his Superfly football boots. Ronaldo was on top form lastnight as he converted two goals for his Real Madrid side, as they routed FC Zurich 5-2.

GRAFITE

adidas Predator football boots

A hat-trick from last season's 'Bundesliga player of the year' gave Wolfsburg a 3-1 vctory over CSKA Moscow. Brazilian striker Grafite was wearing a customised pair of adidas Predator football boots, which perfectly matched the colours of his Wolfsburg kit.

FILIPPO INZAGHI

Diadora LX football boots

Over the years Filippo Inzaghi has stayed true to his Diadora football boots, and for well over a decade the Italian has been prolific in front of goal. This again proved the case, as the 36 year old found the back of the net twice to give his Milan side a 2-1 victory over Marseille.

NICOLAS ANELKA

Puma v1.08 football boots

Wearing the Puma speed football boots to compliment his natural pace, Nicolas Anelka was first to a rebounded shot and drilled the ball into the back. The French striker was last season's Premier League top goalscorer, and in this game he scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Porto.

VINCENZO IAQUINTA

adidas Predator Conf. football boots

Iaquinta had worn Nike Vapor football boots for some time, and when you consider he is at a Nike sponsored club, it was a brave move to switch to adidas Predator football boots. But it's a switch that has helped forward player Iaquinta as he scored the only Juventus goal as they drew 1-1 at home to Bordeaux.

PAUL SCHOLES

Nike T90 Laser II football boots

Scholes was keen to move on from his controversial red card at the weekend, and scoring the winning goal against Besiktas was the perfect remedy. It was a hard-fought game, but that suited the United midfielder perfectly, and his headed goal was enough to give United a 1-0 victory.

Editor — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:45:00 GMT

This week Europe's premier competition the Champions League returns, bringing together the most talented footballers from around the continent. With so many top players and top football boots on show, we want to know what players and boots you think will be this season's Champions League by storm?

Last season Lionel Messi was the top goalscorer in the Champions League, and also scored a crucial goal in the final wearing the adidas F50 range of football boots. Star performers also included Steven Gerrard and Miroslav Klose who both scored seven goals from adidas Predator football boots and Nike Legend football boots, respectively. We also wonder whether the Nike Mercurial range can have more of an impact with such wearers as Ribery, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic? Here are our contenders for 2009/10 Champions League star performers...

Football News - Torres stars in new Blaze Laser - 15/06/09

Editor — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 09:34:00 GMT

Fernando Torres scored a fantastic hat-trick in Spain's opening game of the Confederations Cup, wearing the brand new Orange Blaze Nike T90 Laser II football boots!

To be honest, Spain's opponents New Zealand were never going to put up much resistance, but even they may have been surprised at how quick and lethal Fernando Torres started. Within the space of 17 minutes Torres had grabbed a hat-trick and the Orange Blaze Nike Laser football boots had arrived!

Fernando's first goal was a perfect demonstration of what the Nike T90 Laser football boots can do, as he hit his shot with accuracy and swerve into the top corner beyond the outstretched keeper. Followed up with a deftly touch to steer the ball into the back of the net from a David Villa cross, and his third was a headed goal as he arrived into the box faster and more powerful than the New Zealand defenders.

Spain won the game 5-0, thanks to a fourth goal from Cesc Fabregas and striker David Villa scoring the fifth, who was also wearing a new pair of football boots. David Villa was playing in the new adidas F50i football boots, and continued his impressive scoring record, by netting in his 17th consecutive Spanish international.

For Fernando Torres, the new Orange Blaze Nike Laser football boots were a change from the leather football boots he has been wearing. Although Torres will have benefited from the new perforated upper, designed to keep his feet cool and regulate moisture, great for the hot South African conditions, plus they also looked stunning!

Editor — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:23:00 GMT

We noticed a number of Spanish players debuting new football boots during their sides 6-0 victory over Azerbaijan this week. Spain are currently preparing for the Confederations Cup, a competition we're eagerly anticipating as we're expecting to see a host of brand new football boots on show...

Catching up with the various international sides, including Brazil, Italy and Spain, as they prepare for the Confederations Cup we've spotted a number of players sporting new football boots.

This week SoccerBible had exclusive snaps of Fernando Torres training in a pair of Blaze Nike T90 Laser II football boots, which were confirmed as Fernando's new boots as he wore them playing and scoring against Azerbaijan. The stunning new Laser colourway is expected to worn by Torres throughout the competition, along with Italian stars Gianluca Zambrotta and Fabio Cannavaro (see below).

Also wearing new football boots for Spain was David Villa, who fantastically scored a hat-trick in the new Cyan adidas F50i football boots, and Alvaro Arbeloa playing in the adidas Predator Confederations football boots. We're also convinced we saw both Albert Riera and Xabi Alonso wearing the new Black/Gold adidas adiPure II football boots, so we'll look forward to the Confederations competition to confirm this.

Catching up with the Italian camp, we spotted a host of stars wearing new football boots. There is the Puma trio of Mauro Camoranesi, Gianluigi Buffon and Georgio Chiellini all wearing special edition brown/cindre blue Puma King XL football boots, along with Zambrotta and Cannavaro wearing Blaze Nike T90 Laser II football boots. We also spotted a mystery player wearing the Nike Tiempo Legend III football boots, so all eyes will be on the players feet come kick-off time...
