According to the latest figures from the search engine Megasoccer.com (www.Megasoccer.com), Ricardo Carvalho and Michael Owen are generating the most interest amongst fans. The specialist football search engine revealed on September 14 that the recently signed Chelsea center-back Carvalho, formerly of Porto, was the most searched-for player in August, after the Portuguese defender impressed with his performances during Euro 2004.
Carvalho edged out ex-Liverpool legend Michael Owen in the search charts as the star striker left the Premiership to join England colleague David Beckham in Real Madrid. And Owen's new club Real was just ahead of Chelsea in the Top Ten search terms for the month.
Michael Flynn, CEO of Fast Web Media, the company behind Megasoccer.com, said that Megasoccer.com allows fans to follow the progress of their favourite players and teams wherever they are, and that the diversity of the queries in the last month illustrates the appeal of the search to a global audience.
