Podcasts about takumi minamino

L'international japonais Takumi Minamino réalise une saison aboutie sur le Rocher, après un premier exercice complètement manqué. Plus affuté et plus efficace, il est devenu l'un des hommes forts du coach Adi Hütter. Comment expliquer les progrès de ce milieu polyvalent ? Qu'apporte-t-il sur le terrain ? Et jusqu'où Monaco peut aller cette saison ? Un podcast animé par Marie-Amélie Motte, avec Thymoté Pinon et Régis Testelin. Réalisé par Léa Leostic.

Japan's Asian Cup campaign got off to a shaky, but ultimately successful start on Sunday night, and in this episode we run through it all, from a slightly surprising selection decision from the manager Hajime Moriyasu, through that eventful first half in which the Samurai Blue took the lead, lost it, but then got themselves back on top before the break. We move on to discuss the impacts made by the substitutes and whether that might lead to changes for the next game against Iraq, and praise two-goal hero Takumi Minamino (to 46:00). We then wrap up the episode with bouquets for newly retired Samurai Blue legend Yasuhito Endo, and chat about some of the new J1 kits that have caught our eye as top flight teams ramp up their preseason preparations.

Alasdair, Barlow and Michael discuss and analyse the latest European football news. The boys look at Milan's post-derby resurgence, Mainz's youthful rays of hope, Almeria's lavish summer spending, Takumi Minamino's merry Monégasque moment and more. 1:45 - What sets Monza's Andrea Colpani apart as a truly unique footballer in 2023? / 21:00 - Where did it go wrong for Philippe Clement at Monaco prior to his dismissal in July, and what tweaks has his successor, Adi Hütter made to enable the club's early-season form? / 43:30 - Why have Almeria struggled to kick on from a summer transfer window in which they were LaLiga's second highest net spenders? / 58:25 - Almost two years exactly to the day since we were lavishing praise on Bo Svensson's Mainz side, what factors have contributed the club's poor recent run of form?

What's logic got to do with it? In their quest for certainty John and Alex now know one thing: all roads begin and end at the Stade Louis II. The allure of Monaco's biggest stadium once again proved irresistible, and the same can be said of AS Monaco in their second Ligue 1 fixture of the 2023-2024 campaign. The home side romped to an easy 3-0 win against Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace, thanks especially to Japanese midfielder Takumi Minamino. The 28-year-old, who made 30 appearances for Liverpool, was on fire, scoring two, with captain Wissam Ben Yedder netting Monaco's third. Monaco top Ligue 1, and on this form should qualify for Europe. Perhaps the English translation on Strasbourg's website is a bit harsh, though: It was a difficult evening for the Strasbourg team, who logically lost 3-0 to Monaco on Sunday. Logic? In football? Monaco 3, Strasbourg 0 was recorded at the Stade Louis II on Sunday 20 August, 2023. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/footy-on-the-med/message

MLB – AP source: Verlander agrees to 2-year contract with Mets A person familiar with the negotiations says Justin Verlander has agreed to an $86.7 million, two-year contract with the New York Mets. The deal reunites the AL Cy Young Award winner with Max Scherzer and gives the Mets a high-profile replacement for Jacob deGrom. The deal includes a vesting third-year option, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no announcement. Verlander leaves World Series champion Houston to step in for deGrom, who agreed to a $185 million, five-year contract with Texas last week. It also puts Verlander on the same team as Scherzer after they played together with the Tigers from 2010-14. Verlander turns 40 in February. MLB – Judge looms; Verlander, Turner deals heat up winter meetings Justin Verlander is going to the New York Mets. Trea Turner has agreed to a blockbuster deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. Baseball's first winter meetings since 2019 kicked into high gear when Verlander agreed to an $86.7 million, two-year deal with New York, and Turner joined Philadelphia for a $300 million, 11-year contract. Clayton Kershaw also returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a $20 million, one-year deal. The biggest outstanding question at the end of an impactful day at a downtown San Diego hotel centered on the status of MVP Aaron Judge, who remains a free agent after setting the AL home run record and powering the Yankees to a division title. NFL – National Football League – Week 13 Yesterday Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17, New Orleans Saints 16 Buccaneers 17, Saints 16 – Brady throws for 2 late TDs, Buccaneers beat Saints 17-16 Tom Brady threw a pair of touchdown passes in the final three minutes Monday night, helping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rally from a 13-point deficit to beat the New Orleans Saints 17-16 and tighten their grip on first place in the weak NFC South. The seven-time Super Bowl champion tossed a one-yard TD pass to rookie Cade Otton, finishing a 91-yard drive to pull within 16-10 with exactly three minutes remaining. He got the ball back with 2:29 to go, then won it with a 6-yard throw to another rookie, Rachaad White, with three seconds left. NFL – Packers GM, coach want Rodgers back next season A day after Aaron Rodgers said returning for a 19th season with the Green Bay Packers will require a “mutual desire on both sides”, his general manager agreed with the franchise quarterback. “Surely, yeah,” GM Brian Gutekunst said on Monday, a day after a 28-19 victory at the Chicago Bears moved the Packers to 5-8. Even with 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love waiting in the wings, the Packers want Rodgers back. Coach Matt LaFleur also said on Monday “absolutely” he'd want Rodgers back for 2023. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Tampa Bay Lightning, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at New Jersey Devils, 7:00 p.m. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Indiana Pacers 112, Golden State Warriors 104 Pacers 112, Warriors 104 – Rookie Nembhard has 31, leads Pacers past Warriors, 112-104 Rookie Andrew Nembhard scored a season-high 31 points and added 13 assists and eight rebounds to lead the undermanned Indiana Pacers to a 112-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors. A second-round draft pick, Nembhard made a key 3-pointer with 4:26 to go and another jumper less than two minutes later. Indiana played without starting point guard Tyrese Haliburton for a second straight game as he nurses soreness in his left groin. Klay Thompson scored 28 points and made eight 3-pointers on the six-year anniversary of his 60-point masterpiece against the Pacers. Stephen Curry was held to 12 points on 3-for-17 shooting.

It will be presented Saturday night at the Lincoln Center in New York. Williams and Stroud also are finalists for the Maxwell Award as the top performer in the college game. Williams, Stroud and Duggan also are up for the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award.

NCAAMBKB – Preseason No. 1 North Carolina drops out of AP Top 25 Houston and Texas remain firmly entrenched atop The Associated Press men's college basketball poll. The Cougars earned 37 first-place votes to stay at No. 1 for the second straight week. This is the program’s first stint at the top since the “Phi Slama Jama” days of the 1980s. Connecticut has climbed to No. 5 while Tennessee and Alabama cracked the top 10 for the first time. Preseason No. 1 North Carolina has dropped out entirely after losing four straight games. NCAAMBKB – NCAA Game clashes with World Cup fever in London Kentucky and Michigan finally played their London game, but organizers aren't exactly running a fast break to get back to the British capital. The Basketball Hall of Fame London Showcase was delayed because of the coronavirus, and then Sunday's game tipped off an hour before England played Senegal in the World Cup. Basketball Hall of Fame president and CEO John Doleva says “we've certainly had our hurdles.” The Wildcats beat Michigan 73-69 in the marquee game at O2 Arena before 8,242 fans as part of a doubleheader that featured Marist against Maine earlier. That's less than half the sold-out crowds of the regular-season NBA games held at the O2 between 2011 and 2019. NCAAWBKB – Women's College Basketball Last Night Purdue 76, Michigan State 71 – OT NCAAWBKB – Stanford’s VanDerveer tops women’s Top 25 appearances Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer stands atop The Associated Press women's basketball poll with the most appearances all-time, breaking a tie with the late Pat Summitt. VanDerveer's Cardinal remains No. 2 behind South Carolina. She has spent 592 weeks ranked with Stanford ater 27 weeks in the poll while leading Ohio State. Ohio State, Indiana and Notre Dame round out the top five. Louisville has fallen out of the Top 25 for the first time since 2016. NCAAWBKB – Three teams withdraw from Vegas tournament The Dayton, Purdue and Texas A&M women's basketball teams have withdrawn from a Las Vegas tournament. Their departures are part of the continuing fallout from a similar event at a Strip resort over Thanksgiving weekend where safety concerns were raised. Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic operations manager Bret Seymour said the three schools had agreed to be additions to his tournament in coordination with officials from Destination Basketball. Destination Basketball ran the Las Vegas Invitational last month at The Mirage that experienced multiple issues, including not having medical personnel on site. Auburn freshman Kharyssa Richardson lay on the court for 50 minutes after falling hard and appearing to hit her head before EMTs arrived.

Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic saved three penalty kicks in his team's 3-1 win over Japan in a shootout. The result secured a return to the quarterfinals for the runners-up in the 2018 tournament. Mario Pasalic converted the clinching penalty for Croatia after the teams were tied at 1-1 after extra time. Livakovic saved penalties from Takumi Minamino, Kaoru Mitomo and Maya Yoshida. Japan had been looking to reach the quarterfinals for the first time but fell short again. Brazil 4, South Korea 1 – Neymar scores, Brazil advances to quarterfinals at World Cup Neymar scored a goal in his return from injury and Brazil beat South Korea 4-1 to advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Neymar converted a first-half penalty for his 76th goal with Brazil and move one shy of Pelé all-time scoring record with the national team. The 82-year-old Pelé said he was going to watch the match on television while hospitalized in Brazil to treat a respiratory infection. Vinícius Júnior, Richarlison and Lucas Paquetá also scored in the first half for Brazil. The Selecao has made it to the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the eighth straight time. Today Knockout Round – Round of 16 Morocco vs. Spain, 10:00 a.m. Portugal vs. Switzerland, 2:00 p.m. FIFA – Serbia charged by FIFA for team, fans conduct at World Cup FIFA has brought disciplinary charges against Serbia for alleged misconduct by players and fans including offensive chants at a World Cup game against Switzerland. Tensions flared in the stands and on the field during Switzerland’s 3-2 win on Friday. It was a rematch of their stormy game at the 2018 World Cup that revived ethnic Balkan rivalries. FIFA on Monday didn’t specify which incidents at Stadium 974 led to charges relating to “misconduct of players and officials,” discrimination and “misconduct of players and officials.” FIFA gave no timetable for the disciplinary case. FIFA – Uruguay players charged for confronting World Cup referee Four Uruguay players have been charged with offensive behavior by FIFA for their angry pursuit of the referee after being eliminated from the World Cup. FIFA says the Uruguayan soccer federation also faces an extra charge of discrimination. The Uruguay team thought it should have been awarded a penalty kick in stoppage time of its 2-0 victory over Ghana on Friday. One more goal would have seen Uruguay advance. FIFA says Edinson Cavani, José María Giménez, Diego Godín and Fernando Muslera face disciplinary cases for “offensive behavior and violations of the principles of fair play” and misconduct. FIFA – Americans’ World Cup-ending loss seen by 16.5M on US TV The United States' tournament-ending 3-1 loss to the Netherlands at the World Cup was seen by 16.5 million on U.S. English- and Spanish-language television and digital streams. That is according to figures released by Fox and Telemundo. Fox says its coverage of the round of 16 match was viewed by an average of 12.9 million. That includes almost 600,000 on its digital streaming services. The match started at 10 a.m. EST on Saturday. Telemundo says its Spanish-language coverage was seen by 3.58 million. That includes its digital streams on Telemundo and Peacock.Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith (25) dunks against Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) and forward Draymond Green during the first half of an NBA basketball game in San Francisco, Monday, Dec. 5, 2022.

MLB – AP source: Verlander agrees to 2-year contract with Mets A person familiar with the negotiations says Justin Verlander has agreed to an $86.7 million, two-year contract with the New York Mets. The deal reunites the AL Cy Young Award winner with Max Scherzer and gives the Mets a high-profile replacement for Jacob deGrom. The deal includes a vesting third-year option, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no announcement. Verlander leaves World Series champion Houston to step in for deGrom, who agreed to a $185 million, five-year contract with Texas last week. It also puts Verlander on the same team as Scherzer after they played together with the Tigers from 2010-14. Verlander turns 40 in February. MLB – Judge looms; Verlander, Turner deals heat up winter meetings Justin Verlander is going to the New York Mets. Trea Turner has agreed to a blockbuster deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. Baseball's first winter meetings since 2019 kicked into high gear when Verlander agreed to an $86.7 million, two-year deal with New York, and Turner joined Philadelphia for a $300 million, 11-year contract. Clayton Kershaw also returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a $20 million, one-year deal. The biggest outstanding question at the end of an impactful day at a downtown San Diego hotel centered on the status of MVP Aaron Judge, who remains a free agent after setting the AL home run record and powering the Yankees to a division title. NFL – National Football League – Week 13 Yesterday Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17, New Orleans Saints 16 Buccaneers 17, Saints 16 – Brady throws for 2 late TDs, Buccaneers beat Saints 17-16 Tom Brady threw a pair of touchdown passes in the final three minutes Monday night, helping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rally from a 13-point deficit to beat the New Orleans Saints 17-16 and tighten their grip on first place in the weak NFC South. The seven-time Super Bowl champion tossed a one-yard TD pass to rookie Cade Otton, finishing a 91-yard drive to pull within 16-10 with exactly three minutes remaining. He got the ball back with 2:29 to go, then won it with a 6-yard throw to another rookie, Rachaad White, with three seconds left. NFL – Packers GM, coach want Rodgers back next season A day after Aaron Rodgers said returning for a 19th season with the Green Bay Packers will require a “mutual desire on both sides”, his general manager agreed with the franchise quarterback. “Surely, yeah,” GM Brian Gutekunst said on Monday, a day after a 28-19 victory at the Chicago Bears moved the Packers to 5-8. Even with 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love waiting in the wings, the Packers want Rodgers back. Coach Matt LaFleur also said on Monday “absolutely” he'd want Rodgers back for 2023.

MLB – AP source: Verlander agrees to 2-year contract with Mets A person familiar with the negotiations says Justin Verlander has agreed to an $86.7 million, two-year contract with the New York Mets. The deal reunites the AL Cy Young Award winner with Max Scherzer and gives the Mets a high-profile replacement for Jacob deGrom. The deal includes a vesting third-year option, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no announcement. Verlander leaves World Series champion Houston to step in for deGrom, who agreed to a $185 million, five-year contract with Texas last week. It also puts Verlander on the same team as Scherzer after they played together with the Tigers from 2010-14. Verlander turns 40 in February. MLB – Judge looms; Verlander, Turner deals heat up winter meetings Justin Verlander is going to the New York Mets. Trea Turner has agreed to a blockbuster deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. Baseball's first winter meetings since 2019 kicked into high gear when Verlander agreed to an $86.7 million, two-year deal with New York, and Turner joined Philadelphia for a $300 million, 11-year contract. Clayton Kershaw also returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a $20 million, one-year deal. The biggest outstanding question at the end of an impactful day at a downtown San Diego hotel centered on the status of MVP Aaron Judge, who remains a free agent after setting the AL home run record and powering the Yankees to a division title. NFL – National Football League – Week 13 Yesterday Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17, New Orleans Saints 16 Buccaneers 17, Saints 16 – Brady throws for 2 late TDs, Buccaneers beat Saints 17-16 Tom Brady threw a pair of touchdown passes in the final three minutes Monday night, helping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rally from a 13-point deficit to beat the New Orleans Saints 17-16 and tighten their grip on first place in the weak NFC South. The seven-time Super Bowl champion tossed a one-yard TD pass to rookie Cade Otton, finishing a 91-yard drive to pull within 16-10 with exactly three minutes remaining. He got the ball back with 2:29 to go, then won it with a 6-yard throw to another rookie, Rachaad White, with three seconds left. NFL – Packers GM, coach want Rodgers back next season A day after Aaron Rodgers said returning for a 19th season with the Green Bay Packers will require a “mutual desire on both sides”, his general manager agreed with the franchise quarterback. “Surely, yeah,” GM Brian Gutekunst said on Monday, a day after a 28-19 victory at the Chicago Bears moved the Packers to 5-8. Even with 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love waiting in the wings, the Packers want Rodgers back. Coach Matt LaFleur also said on Monday “absolutely” he'd want Rodgers back for 2023.

Tensions flared in the stands and on the field during Switzerland’s 3-2 win on Friday. It was a rematch of their stormy game at the 2018 World Cup that revived ethnic Balkan rivalries. FIFA on Monday didn’t specify which incidents at Stadium 974 led to charges relating to “misconduct of players and officials,” discrimination and “misconduct of players and officials.” FIFA gave no timetable for the disciplinary case. FIFA – Uruguay players charged for confronting World Cup referee Four Uruguay players have been charged with offensive behavior by FIFA for their angry pursuit of the referee after being eliminated from the World Cup. FIFA says the Uruguayan soccer federation also faces an extra charge of discrimination. The Uruguay team thought it should have been awarded a penalty kick in stoppage time of its 2-0 victory over Ghana on Friday. One more goal would have seen Uruguay advance. FIFA says Edinson Cavani, José María Giménez, Diego Godín and Fernando Muslera face disciplinary cases for “offensive behavior and violations of the principles of fair play” and misconduct. FIFA – Americans’ World Cup-ending loss seen by 16.5M on US TV The United States’ tournament-ending 3-1 loss to the Netherlands at the World Cup was seen by 16.5 million on U.S. English- and Spanish-language television and digital streams. That is according to figures released by Fox and Telemundo. Fox says its coverage of the round of 16 match was viewed by an average of 12.9 million. That includes almost 600,000 on its digital streaming services. The match started at 10 a.m. EST on Saturday. Telemundo says its Spanish-language coverage was seen by 3.58 million. That includes its digital streams on Telemundo and Peacock.AP MEN’S TOP 251Houston (37)8-02Texas (14)6-03Virginia (3)7-04Purdue (8)8-05UConn9-06Kansas8-17Tennessee7-18Alabama7-19Arkansas7-110Arizona7-111Auburn8-012Baylor6-213Maryland8-014Indiana7-115Duke8-216Kentucky6-217Illinois6-218Gonzaga5-319UCLA7-220Iowa State7-121Creighton6-322San Diego State6-223Mississippi State8-024TCU6-125Ohio State6-2AP WOMEN’S TOP 251South Carolina (29)8-02Stanford10-13Ohio State8-04Indiana9-05Notre Dame7-16UConn6-17Virginia Tech8-08North Carolina6-1NC State7-110Iowa State6-111LSU9-012Arizona7-013UCLA8-114Michigan9-015Utah7-016Iowa6-317Oregon6-118Creighton7-119Baylor6-220Maryland7-321Arkansas10-022Gonzaga7-223Oklahoma7-124Kansas State8-125Villanova7-2See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Za Nosiči vody zavítal exkluzivní host. S Vladimírem Šmicerem jsme mluvili o Liverpoolu a jeho ambicích před finále Ligy mistrů. V podcastovém speciálu jsme hledali příčiny neúspěchu Slavie a došlo i na F-evoluci.Chcete si z podcastu vybrat jen některá témata?1:30 Liverpool před finále Premier League a Ligy mistrů13:05 Ligové zklamání v Edenu a jeho příčiny30:10 Davy na trávníku Evertonu - kde je hranice bezpečí?34:00 Reprezentace a její nároky na hráče40:45 Šilhavý jako kouč pokračuje, co se v realizačním týmu mění?46:50 Fevoluce pořád pracuje na změně českého fotbaluLiverpool válí. The Reds stále neztratili naději na tzv. quadruple, tedy zisk čtyř trofejí během jediného soutěžního ročníku. Svěřenci Jürgena Kloppa už v aktuální sezoně dokázali ovládnout jak anglický ligový pohár (Carabao Cup), tak i slavný FA Cup. A to není konec, stále mají políčeno na dvě další trofeje mimořádné blyštivosti.„Ať už se teď stane cokoli, sezona v Liverpoolu bude hodnocena jako úspěšná,“ míní Šmicer, který barvy Liverpoolu oblékal v letech 1999-2005. „Famózně letos opět vyšlo začlenění posil do týmu, zkvalitnila se i síla lavičky, to všechno hrálo Kloppovi do karet.“Další jejich sen, o ušatém poháru určeném vítězi Ligy mistrů, se Liverpoolským může naplnit už příští sobotu v Paríži, kde ve finále změří síly s Realem Madrid. Mnohem dříve, už dnes, se rozlouskne tajenka se jménem mistra anglické Premier League. Tady jsou Liverpoolští odkázáni doufat v zaváhání vedoucího týmu tabulky, tedy Manchesteru City.V jakém rozpoložení se tým z Anfieldu nachází před rozuzlením celého ročníku? Kolik zbývá hráčům síly? A co všechno se musí pohlídat a sladit, aby jeden tým dokázal úspěšně útočit na tolik cenných trofejí zároveň? Nosiči vody pro hledání odpovědí nemohli najít nikoho povolanějšího. Vladimír Šmicer v barvách Liverpoolu slavil celkem pět trofejí, včetně triumfu v Lize mistrů v sezoně 2004/05.Nejtěžší soupeř vyzve GerrardaV cestě Liverpoolu za domácím titulem stojí opět Manchester City - mužstvo, které se zdá být silnější než kdy dřív. V prosinci vykročili Citizens do velkého trháku a v půlce ledna už se svěřenci Pepa Guardioly mohli v čele anglické ligy pyšnit náskokem 14 bodů. Zdálo se, že na takový bodový polštář už nikdo jiný nedolehne. Jenže Reds se nadechli ke spanilé jízdě a stáhli svého soka na rozdíl jediného bodu. Díky jejich senzační formě se tak o titulu mistra rozhodne až v posledním kole soutěže. To vyvrcholí dnes, tedy v neděli 22. května.V kalendářním roce 2022 zůstává Liverpool v ligové soutěži jako jediný neporažen, z 18 zápasů dokázal patnáctkrát vyhrát. Pokud v neděli porazí Wolves, zakončí ligovou pouť se ziskem 92 bodů. Podíváme-li se do minulosti, takový zisk by zajistil titul v Premier League ve 24 případech z 29 možných. Jenomže letos přesto drží před posledním kolem vyšší karty Manchestr City. V tabulce ho hřeje náskok sice jediného, ale důležitého bodu. Pokud dnes zvítězí a náskok tím definitivně potvrdí, udrží si Liverpool za zády.„Mrzí mě, že to má v posledním kole Manchester City ve svých rukách. Na druhou stranu je čeká Aston Villa, která v posledních týdnech dokazuje, že patří mezi velmi silné celky. Villu koučuje liverpoolská legenda Steven Gerrard, ofenzivu řídí jeho bývalý spoluhráč Philippe Coutinho. Právě tito muži udělají cokoliv, aby sebrali Citizens titul ve prospěch Liverpoolu. Společně mají na to City zaskočit, v Premier League navíc člověk nikdy neví,“ tvrdí Vladimír Šmicer.Ve studiu panovala shoda, že poslední krok bývá ve sportovním světě většinou tím nejtěžším. Šmicer připomínal trefu Sergia Agüera z roku 2012, která v nastaveném čase vystřelila Citizens premiérový titul, Luděk Mádl si okamžitě vybavil zápas mezi West Hamem a Manchesterem United z roku 1995: „Tehdy český brankář Luděk Mikloško v posledním kole heroicky vychytal střelce Manchesteru United a svým výkonem jim odepřel radost z titulu. Dodnes na to nezapomněli.“Funkční rotace a práce psychologaSoučasný Liverpool se naučil těžit z funkční hráčské rotace. Trenér Jürgen Klopp nově spoléhá na kvalitu kompletního kádru a jeho svěřenci mu to vrací prvotřídními výkony. Celkem 21 hráčů Liverpoolu v aktuální sezoně naskočilo do 20 nebo více zápasů. Jiný, průměrný účastník Premier League si v tomto ohledu obvykle vystačí se 14 či 15 borci.„Liverpoolští hráči mají neuvěřitelné sebevědomí. Kohokoliv pošle Klopp na trávník, ten hraje výborně. Jejich lavička se v posledních letech výrazně zkvalitnila. K tomu přispěly zejména skvělé transfery. Poslední dva podpisy posunuly Liverpool ještě o level výš. Luis Diaz předvádí výkony na úrovni ofenzivních tahounů Salaha a Maného. Na tempo Premier League si zvyknul za dva týdny. Ibrahim Konaté to má sice v obraně těžší, ale svou výkonností dokázal zvednout konkurenta Joela Matipa,“ všímá si Šmicer.„Zdravá konkurence v kádru je pro úspěch zásadní. Fotbalisty přinutí hrát lépe, zdokonalovat se. Cítí, že mají za sebou dravce, který hraje skvěle a je hladový po jejich místě,“ dodává.Podle moderátora Jaromíra Bosáka musí být trenér Klopp zejména vynikajícím psychologem: „I takoví borci jako Takumi Minamino nebo Divock Origi, kteří nastupují pouze sporadicky, dokáží svými trefami rozhodovat zápasy. Třeba zrovna Minamino nastoupil minulý týden v Southamptonu do ligového zápasu poprvé od prosince 2020. Výsledek? Prosadil se a přispěl k hubené výhře 2:1. V aktuálním ročníku vsítil gól už podesáté a to má na kontě pouhých 10 startů. Klopp evidentně umí udržet určitou míru spokojenosti a motivace napříč širokým kádrem.“Kostra držíLiverpoolu se v posledních letech nestává, že by se během transferových snažení vyloženě spálil. Ba naopak. Mezi největší příchody od léta 2018 patří Fabinho, Keita, Alisson, Jota, Thiago, Tsimikas nebo již zmiňovaní Minamino, Konaté či Diaz. Všichni se uchytili náramně a pozvedli celý mančaft.„Důležité je, že nikdo z té kostry mužstva ani nepomýšlí na to, že by klub opustil. Nastupovat za Liverpool představuje pro jeho hráče poctu. Klíčoví hráči v Liverpoolu dobrovolně zůstávají. Kádr pak vhodně doplňují nové příchody,“ tvrdí Šmicer.Nosiči nakousli i to, jak je to s finanční politikou Liverpoolu. Proč vypadl Šmicer z nominace staré gardy Reds pro utkání s Manchesterem United? A co bychom měli očekávat od nadcházejícího finále Ligy mistrů, v němž má Liverpool příležitost oplatit Realu Madrid porážkou z roku 2018? Nejen to se dozvíte v opravdu nabitém speciálním vydání podcastu.O čem ještě uslyšíte?Významná část debaty se věnovala také domácímu fotbalovému dění. V první řadě Slavii, v jejímž dresu Šmicer ve své úspěšné kariéře také mnohé odkopal. Dozvíte se, v čem spatřuje konkrétní příčiny skutečnosti, že Slavia počtvrté v řadě titul nezískala, a na co si nejspíš měli dát větší pozor hráči i trenéři. A nejen to. Host podcastu prozradil, co se dělo v kabině Slavie po nedělní porážce v derby.Řeč se stočila i k F-evoluci a její nespokojenosti s dynamikou změn rok po volební valné hromadě. Šmicer se vyjádřil i k setrvání Jaroslava Šilhavého ve funkci hlavního trenéra české fotbalové reprezentace a zdůraznil, že ještě jedno klíčové místo u národního týmu je zapotřebí urychleně personálně obsadit.Šmicer hledal odpověď na otázku, jaké může mít Viktoria Plzeň se svým herní stylem vyhlídky v pohárové Evropě. A podivil se, jak nelogicky si teď podle něj srovnala Sparta priority v časovém harmonogramu.Poslechněte si celý speciál s Vladimírem Šmicerem!Nosiči vody Fotbalový podcast Seznam Zpráv.
