EA SPORTS FIFA SOCCER 11 and VBS.TV invite you to New Jersey, the birthplace of Jozy Altidore. Although he’s one of North America’s brightest, young soccer stars, his skills on the field have taken him to Europe’s most prestigious leagues. He’s currently fighting for a starting spot at Villareal in Spain’s La Liga.

We decided to go visit him in Philly—an hour from where he was born— to chat about his exposure as a US player and to find out about what keeps him grounded.

So we did the obvious: hung out, took him to get some of Geno’s Famous Philly Cheese Steaks, and talked soccer with a 20 year old who is poised to be one of the most important American soccer players of our time.

Rui Manuel César Costa, OIH (born 29 March 1972) is a former Portuguese football player and current Director of Football for Sport Lisboa e Benfica. An attacking midfielder also capable of playing as a deep-seated defensive midfielder, he most recently played for Portuguese club Benfica. Renowned for his fine technique and his excellent passing, he’s now considered as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation. In 2004, he was named by Pelé in FIFA 100, as one of the 125 greatest living football players.

At the end of his third season in Benfica’s senior squad, Fiorentina offered 1200 million escudos (about €6 million) for the young midfielder, an impressive fee at the time. Since Benfica was struggling with financial problems, Rui Costa had to leave.

Despite the heavy competition with the best midfielders in that time such as Zinedine Zidane, Costa was named the best number 10 player in the Serie A a few times. His departure from Fiorentina was discussed every season, since many clubs constantly showed interest in signing him. However, he only left when Fiorentina went bankrupt after the 2001-02 season.

Fatih Terim was the coach of Fiorentina in the 2000-01 season. When he was leaving Fiorentina for Milan, he took Costa with him, paying a reported £30 million for the player. In doing so, Costa became Milan’s most expensive transfer of all-time. Costa played five seasons in Milan, where he won one Serie A title, one Italian Cup, one Italian Super Cup, one UEFA Champions League, and one European Super Cup.

In 2003, Brazilian youngster Kaká joined the ranks at Milan and relegated Costa to the bench. Though pleased with Kaká’s success, he was disappointed to be restricted to the bench in the twilight of his career.

In 2004, Costa played his last match for the Portuguese squad at the UEFA Euro 2004 final, when Portugal lost to underdogs Greece 1-0 in what was considered a titanic upset.

On 25 May 2006, Costa’s return to Benfica to play for the forthcoming season was announced in a press conference. He had been released from Milan after both the player and the club reached an agreement to end his contract. Costa also gave up his €4.6 million per year contract to play in the club that, year after year, had dreamt of his return. Costa’s affection for Benfica is publicly known and so is his desire to end his career at the Portuguese club. On 11 May 2008, Costa played his last game for Benfica against Vitória de Setúbal before announcing his retirement from football.

On the following day, Costa was presented as the new leader of the football department, hiring Quique Sánchez Flores as the new manager of Benfica and being responsible for the formation of the team in the next season.

During the 2008 Summer transfer window, Costa was able — already as Director of Football — to sign a few well-known players, such as Argentine playmaker Pablo Aimar and bringing in Spanish left-winger José Antonio Reyes and Honduran striker David Suazo in on loan, thus gaining general praise from both board and fans alike.

On the following Summer, Costa further increased his efforts to build a solid Benfica team, with such signings as Argentinean striker Javier Saviola, Brazilian centre midfielder Ramires and Spanish defensive midfielder Javi García, along with experienced Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus. This effort was rewarded with Benfica’s victory in the Portuguese League.

This Turkish derby is a real delight!

Although the two clubs can be found in the Istanbul, they are actually divided by some pretty funky geography!

The two fierce rivals are separated by Istanbul’s Bosphorus straits (a body of water that cuts the city in two) and are even on different continents!

Travel’s not a problem though. The two rival stadiums are only 40 minutes away from each other!

Galatasaray was founded by an all French speaking high school and is on the European side.

While Fenerbahce is on the Asian side and has a largely working class following.

Fener were even formed in secret, because the strict Ottoman rulers of the time banned young Turks from playing the game.

So what about the rivalry?
One thing for sure is that Turkish club teams have fanatical supporters.

When Manchester United visited Galatasaray in the Champions League a few seasons ago, the home fans greeted them at the airport with ‘welcome to hell’ banners!

But that is nothing compared to the atmosphere of a derby match.

When Graeme Souness was Galatasaray manager, he was so pleased with victory over their rivals, he famously planted a club flag in the centre of Fenerbahce’s pitch!

Even a veteran of the great derbies of Glasgow, Liverpool and Genoa was lost in the drama and passion of this fixture!

He narrowly avoided the wrath of Fener supporters by escaping through a tunnel of riot policemen!

Galatasaray are the most successful Turkish club, and became the first club in Turkey to win a European title, when they won the Uefa Cup in 2000.

Galatasaray earned its fifth consecutive Turkish League Championship in 2000, before they were finally overhauled by Fenerbahce.

The success of both clubs can be seen with the core of Turkey’s World Cup squad made up of players from both teams.

Previous success and current form are all forgotten though when both sets of players walk out to a packed stadium and an unbelievable hostile atmosphere.
