Los Colchoneros trénuje jeden z najlepších koučov súčasnosti, Diego Simeone. Ako si Hancko zatiaľ pochvaľuje spoluprácu?

Vi kjører en liten gjennomgang fra helgens Topp5 ligaer og det siste i forhold til rykter og overganger. Det blir selvsagt en god dose Daniel Levy i forbindelse med at Eberechi Eze går til Arsenal. Det blir Alexander Isak sagaen. Det blir Manchester United og ikke minst stopperproblemene man har fått i Chelsea. I La Liga har det vært serierunde. Barcelona og Real Madrid kom fra det med hver sin 3 poenger, mens det er større utfordringer i Atletico Madrid. Vi diskuterer om det kan være starten på slutten for Diego Simeone. Det blir mye snakk om dårlig klubbdrift i Bundesliga. Bayern Munchen har sine utfordringer, men det har virkelig Leverkusen og Dortmund også. Så er det RB Leipzig som seiler opp som Bayern Munchens største konkurrent ? Det blir Serie A. Antonio Conte og Max Allegri. Er det der Scudetto slaget skal stå ? Vi snakker også om kranglefantene i Marseille og PSG som kan kjøre tilnærmet B-lag i sesongpremieren uten at det går på bekostning av så veldig mye.

Matchday 32 was all about the importance of late winners for the two title protagonists in LaLiga. Join Ben Sully (@SullyBen) and Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) as they recap all the latest action from the Spanish top flight.A Borja Iglesias hat-trick proved to be in vain, as Barcelona staged a dramatic fightback to overturn a 3-1 deficit in Saturday's LaLiga clash with Celta Vigo. Raphinha netted a brace, including a 98th-minute penalty, to seal a 4-3 victory to boost Barça's title aspirations. Real Madrid moved back to within three points of the leaders after Fede Valverde produced one of his trademark stunners to snatch all three points against Athletic Club. We also discuss a surprise victory for relegation-threatened Las Palmas in their home encounter against Atlético Madrid, ending any lingering hopes of a title bid for Diego Simeone's side. Meanwhile, there was plenty of controversy in Villarreal's draw against Real Sociedad, as the Yellow Submarine saw three potential winners disallowed. In part two, we focus on Ante Budimir's match-winning brace, a hard-fought point for Valencia and Sevilla's first game since García Pimienta's dismissal. There was also another successful outing for in-form Espanyol and a forgettable encounter at Son Moix.Join us over at lllonline.substack.com, where you can access all of our written content and our weekly bonus podcast.

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at Arsenal and in particular, a big reshuffle in the boardroom that has seen Andrea Berta succeed Edu Gaspar as their Sporting Director. Berta was formerly at Atletico Madrid, forming a (mostly) impressive team with Diego Simeone, and also previously worked at Genoa and Parma in his native Italy. We examine what his record was at Atleti in terms of overseeing signings, discuss which positions and players Arsenal may look to in the summer under his stewardship, and scrutinise how the Manager-SD relationship works at Arsenal in particular with Mikel Arteta. There's a little bit of time too to examine the role of a Sporting Director in the modern game, and look at exactly what falls under their remit, before we round things off. So, is this the appointment that helps steer Arsenal through that final step where they lift a Premier League trophy? Will he mesh with what Arteta wants and needs on the pitch? Or is this simply background shuffles that bark louder than they actually bite? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle... And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

On Wednesday night Atletico Madrid found a new way to suffer Champions League heartbreak at the hands of Real Madrid. Diego Simeone's side were knocked out courtesy of penalties after Julian Alvarez had his effort rule out for a 'two-touch' kick. From VAR, to penalty shootouts, to near misses, Atleti have once again failed to find a way past their neighbours. So why is there always something stopping Simeone's and his team from getting over the line in this competition?  Adam Leventhal is joined by The Athletic's Tomas Hill Lopez-Menchero and Phil Hay to reflect on a chaotic night at the Metropolitano, discuss Atleti's 'El Pupas' curse and analyse how Simeone lifts his side for the La Liga title run-in.

Diego Simeone's side are 2-1 down after the Bernabeu last week, but Real certainly don't have their quarter-final place wrapped up. The visitors head to their cross-town rivals with a poor record in big games this term, despite last week's win.

It's time for The Truth!When we talk about the best managers in world football, certain names come up over and over again (and rightly so) - the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti. But you'll also hear shouts for Diego Simeone, for Mikel Arteta, Antonio Conte, Unai Emery and many more. Rarely though, is the name of Simone Inzaghi mentioned - despite his Inter being fairly dominant in Serie A, his exceptional record in cup competitions as both Lazio and Inter boss, and the fact that his team play some of the best football in Europe when they're on song. But why? We dig into Inzaghi's tactics, his personality, his teams; and try to understand what's holding him back from being heralded as one of the bastions of this generation - and if there is anyone else deserving of the 'most underrated' crown that we're giving out. So is Inzaghi undervalued because he's reluctant to take praise, because he doesn't love the limelight, or because people genuinely believe this Inter side isn't very good? The Truth is somewhere in the middle...

It's time for The Truth!We begin 2025 with a look at Atletico Madrid, who might not quite be top of La Liga, but will be if they win their game in hand this weekend - and who, after a very poor start, have transformed themselves into Spanish football's form team.We examine the transfer work in the summer that laid the groundwork for Atleti to become this season's 'stable club' in Spain, including the additions of Julian Alvarez and Conor Gallagher, as well as how Diego Simeone's use of substitutes is proving far more effective than any of his competitors so far. There are so many hallmarks of a winning Cholo side in what we've seen over the last few months - squad harmony, devilish workrate, tactical flexibiity, and an ability to grind out the results when they need them most. But is this just a good run of form, or could Atleti go all the way this year and finally give Antoine Griezmann the elusive league title that his career so deserves?The Truth is somewhere in the middle...
