Many rental places futsal is widespread in all regions and provinces, and oddly enough futsal rental place is never empty of visitors.
When we talk about the Indonesia national football team, a lot of people did pity the dualism of the highest association football stewardship in this country (PSSI), which greatly impact on the recruitment of players who will be part of the national team. But if we look at talent - young talent spread across the existing club, so much talent on the football game on average and some of them admirable, for example, is Andik Vermansyah.

Roberto Di Matteo

Di Matteo scored the winner against Middlesbrough on his home debut for Chelsea.His passing ability and accurate long-distance shooting saw him become one of the driving forces of Chelsea's resurgence in the late 1990s. He contributed nine goals in his first season, including long-range efforts against both Tottenham Hotspur and Wimbledon. He helped the club finish 6th in the league, their highest placing since 1989–90, and reach the 1997 FA Cup Final at Wembley. Within 42 seconds of the kick-off of the final against Middlesbrough, Di Matteo scored the opening goal from 30 yards and Chelsea won 2-0. Di Matteo's goal was the fastest in an FA Cup final until the record was broken by Louis Saha for Everton in 2009.
The following season Di Matteo again proved his worth to the team, chipping in with ten goals and numerous assists, as Chelsea went on to claim the Football League Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup, their first European honour since 1971. In the League Cup final, again against Middlesbrough, Di Matteo scored the second goal in a 2–0 win. Di Matteo played in midfield next to Gustavo Poyet, Dennis Wise and Dan Petrescu in the 1998-99 season as Chelsea finished third.
During the 1999–2000 season Di Matteo was sidelined by injury but returned late in the season to score a handful of crucial goals, including his third Cup-winning goal at Wembley, once again in the FA Cup. In a dour match, Di Matteo capitalised on an error by Aston Villa goalkeeper David James to score the winner in the 71st minute, handing Chelsea their fourth major trophy in three years. This lead Di Matteo to comment on the old Wembley Stadium saying "It's a shame they're tearing the old place down – it has been a very lucky ground for me".
Early into the 2000–01 season, Di Matteo sustained a triple leg fracture in a UEFA Cup tie against Swiss side St. Gallen and did not play for the next eighteen months. He gave up on hopes of returning from this injury in February 2002 and retired at the age of 31.In "gratitude for the midfielder's contribution to the transformation of the club", then-manager Claudio Ranieri handed Di Matteo the honour of leading the Chelsea team out in the 2002 FA Cup Final, which Chelsea went on to lose 2–0 to London rivals Arsenal.
Di Matteo was selected in a Chelsea greatest-ever XI.In his six years at Chelsea, he made 175 appearances and scored 26 goals. He never lost at Old Trafford.

After an unsuccessful application to become manager of Birmingham City , Di Matteo was appointed Assistant Manager to André Villas-Boas, the new manager of Chelsea FC, on the 29 June 2011.
On 4 March 2012, following the dismissal of Villas-Boas, Di Matteo became caretaker manager for the club until the end of the season.. Officially according to Chelsea he is "Interim first team coach" . He started his tenure at Chelsea in winning form, with victories over Birmingham City in a fifth round FA Cup match; Stoke City in the Premiership; and SSC Napoli in the last 16 round of the UEFA Champions League competition - winning the second leg 4-1 (achieving a 5-4 aggregate score) in one of the most thrilling games ever seen at Stamford Bridge.
Di Matteo's Chelsea won against Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-final and Benfica in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final. On 24 April 2012, Di Matteo led Chelsea to a 3-2 aggregate win over heavily-favoured Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League semi-final by achieving a 1-0 victory in the first leg at Stamford Bridge followed by a 2-2 draw in the second leg at the Nou Camp.
Di Matteo's Chelsea won 2-1 against Liverpool in the 2012 FA Cup Final held at Wembley Stadium.
Di Matteo's future as coach could hinge on whether Chelsea becomes European champion for the first time in the club's 107-year history but he has captain John Terry, defender Branislav Ivanovic and midfield pair Ramires and Raul Meireles suspended.
If defender David Luiz fails to recover from injury, Di Matteo acknowledged that he could struggle to find seven experienced substitutes to fill his bench against Bayern Munich.
"With the suspensions we have, I'm still trying to find some solutions," Di Matteo said.
With Roy Hodgson having left West Bromwich Albion to take over as England coach, there is a vacancy at the club Di Matteo led into the Premier League two years ago. The Italian, though, is not interested in going back.
Di Matteo praised the "passion and heart'' of his players, especially after Bayern went ahead in the 83rd minute through Thomas Mueller, before Didier Drogba equalized in the 88th.
With four players suspended and two defenders racing against time to overcome injuries, "it was not ideal preparation for a Champions League final.''
Drogba's contract ends next month and he could also be on the way out.


UEFA Champions League Final 2012

The 2012 UEFA Champions League Final was a football match between Bayern Munich of Germany and Chelsea of England, played at the Aliianz Arena in Munich, Germany, to decide the winner of the 2011–12 season of the UEFA Champions League, Europe's premier club football tournament organised annually by the UEFA confederation. Chelsea became the first London club to win the Champions League as well as the 5th English club and 22nd team to win the European Cup overall, beating Bayern on penalties after the game finished 1–1 after extra time. The game was the culmination of the 57th season of the tournament, and the 20th since it was renamed the Champions League.
It was the first Champions League Final to be held in the Allianz Arena (known as "Fußball Arena München" for the final) which opened in 2005. With Bayern being one of two tenants of the Arena, it was the first time since 1984 that a finalist had home stadium advantage.
The teams had not met before in the final. Bayern entered the competition as four-time winners from eight final appearances, most recently losing in 2010, while Chelsea had reached the final just once before, losing on penalties in 2008. Defending champions Barcelona were eliminated by Chelsea in the semi-finals. Neither team reached the final as champions of their 2011–12 domestic leagues (the Bundesliga and Premier League, respectively), although Chelsea won the 2012 FA Cup Final. The winners, Chelsea, will play the 2011–12 Europa League winners Atlético Madrid of Spain in the 2012 UEFA Super Cup, and also enter the semi-finals of the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup as the UEFA representative.
The Allianz Arena was announced by UEFA as the venue of the 2012 final on 30 January 2010, although the stadium was referred to as "Fußball Arena München" for the match, as UEFA does not recognise sponsorship by companies that are not among its partner organisations. The stadium, which opened in 2005, is the home stadium of both Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich, and was used for six matches at the 2006 FIFA World Cup including the opening match.
The stadium was hosting its first major European final. The Olympiastadion in Munich, the previous home of Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich, hosted three European Cup Finals in 1979, 1993 and 1997.
During the match, the stadium was illuminated in green and turquoise to represent the official UEFA emblem of the Munich final, as the outer shell of the Allianz Arena can change colour.
To reach the final, in the knockout phase Bayern defeated Basel, Marseille, and Real Madrid (3–1 on penalties after a 3–3 aggregate score), while Chelsea overcame Napoli, Benfica, and the defending champions Barcelona (3–2 on aggregate).
Both teams reached the final having already lost out in their domestic leagues (the Bundesliga and Premier League respectively), but having also reached the final of their domestic cup competitions (the DFB-Pokal and FA Cup respectively), to be played prior to the Champions League Final. Chelsea won the FA Cup by defeating Liverpool 2–1, while Bayern lost the Final of the DFB-Pokal 2–5 to Borussia Dortmund.
Both clubs lost their most recent Champions League final, Bayern in 2010 to Internazionale 0–2, Chelsea in 2008 to Manchester United on penalties after a 1–1 draw. While that was Chelsea's only Champions League final, Bayern have played in eight Champions League/European Cup finals, winning four (1974, 1975, 1976, 2001) and losing four (1982, 1987, 1999 and 2010). They have only met each other once in Europe before, with Chelsea winning 6–5 on aggregate in the quarter-finals of the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League.
The match marked the first time that a team had played at their home ground in the UEFA Champions League Final, and the fourth time in the history of the European Cup, after 1957, 1965 and 1984. For this reason, the fans of Bayern Munich call this match "Finale dahoam" (Bavarian for "final at home"). The final also marks the first time since 2007 where neither of the participants were champions of their domestic league.
Both clubs had players missing due to suspensions. Bayern were missing David Alaba, Holger Badstuber and Luiz Gustavo, while Chelsea were without Branislav Ivanović, Raul Meireles, Ramires and John Terry. John Terry was suspended after being red-carded in the semi-final, which automatically excludes a player from the final. The other six all received yellow cards in the semi-finals, which took them over the limit of a third yellow card of the competition, which triggers an automatic suspension from the next match. Players union FIFPro appealed to UEFA to allow the players with yellow cards to play, seeing the punishment of "missing the match of your life" as too harsh; UEFA rejected the appeal and stated the rule would not be reviewed for at least three years. Ivanović stated how he "had no idea [he] was one booking away from missing the Champions League final." UEFA confirmed that Chelsea captain Terry would be allowed to lift the trophy should Chelsea win, in spite of his suspension.
Only two of the 36 players had previously been in a winning squad in a Champions League Final: Chelsea's Paulo Ferreira and José Bosingwa were in the Porto squad in 2004. Ten of the Bayern 18 had earlier been in their squad that lost the 2010 final, although only four started both games: Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Arjen Robben and Thomas Müller. Eight of the Chelsea squad had been in their losing 2008 squad, including four who started both games: Petr Čech, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole would join Carlos Mozer as the only players to score in penalty shootouts in two European Cup/Champions League finals. Mozer had scored for Benfica in 1988 and for Marseille in 1991, losing both times.
West London came to a standstill on Sunday afternoon as UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea FC returned home to parade their silverware to tens of thousands of Blues fans.
Tens of thousands of Chelsea FC fans lined the streets on Sunday afternoon as the UEFA Champions League winners paraded their trophy – alongside the FA Cup – around west London.
It is the second time in two years that the victorious Chelsea players have ridden a pair of bold blue buses down Kings Road to celebrate winning a cup double. But it is the first time in their 107-year history that the Blues have celebrated winning the European Champions Clubs' Cup, and a sea of jubilant fans lined the streets to participate in the special moment.
Around 70,000 fans turned out to watch Chelsea parade their domestic double back in 2010, and despite 25,000 Blues fans returning from their trip to Munich, that number was rivalled on Sunday afternoon, west London reduced to a standstill to watch the squad travel from their Stamford Bridge home to Parson's Green.
Of course, the celebrations in the capital began on Saturday night, the moment Didier Drogba sent Manuel Neuer the wrong way with the last penalty in the UEFA Champions League final shoot-out to gift his side the trophy. It was a momentous occasion for London which, despite being a historic football city, had never before been home to European club champions.
It was also an emotional day for Chelsea supporters who, despite having had plenty to celebrate since the arrival of owner Roman Abramovich in 2003, have suffered their share of disappointment in this competition. The Blues have been eliminated at the semi-final stage of this competition in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2009, while they reached the UEFA Champions League final back in 2008 only to lose on penalties to Manchester United FC.
All that heartache looked a distant memory however, when the bus stopped for a short period at Eel Brook Common, and captain John Terry led his players in serenading the throngs gathered beneath with a version of 'Campéones, campéones'.
The microphone was then passed around the top deck for each of the stars to say a few words. A version of 'Happy birthday' was chanted for goalkeeper Petr Cech, who turned 30, while "Hello geezers" was David Luiz's greeting for the fans, before he offered his rendition of the famous Chelsea song 'Blue is the colour'.
Eventually the microphone reached manager Roberto Di Matteo, who had twice won the FA Cup and lifted the 1998 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup as a Chelsea player. He wasted little time in urging the fans to enjoy the moment. "We have waited a long time for this," said Di Matteo. "So celebrate today because it is a fantastic day for Chelsea football club, champions of Europe."
Frank Lampard, who captained the side to victory in Munich in place of the suspended Terry, expressed his gratitude. "This is the best club in the world," he said. "And this is the most amazing moment in all of our careers. It is brilliant to come back and celebrate it with all of our fans – thank you!"
