„Český fotbal dlouhodobě stagnuje,“ říká Jaroslav Hřebík, někdejší trenér Sparty i Slavie, odborník na moderní fotbalové trendy. Výkony a výsledky reprezentace v Chorvatsku i „lvíčat“ na ME „21“ na Slovensku mu dávají za pravdu.Řada fanoušků, ale i lidí uvnitř českého fotbalu mu dodnes nemůže přijít na jméno. Jaroslav Hřebík totiž vždycky veřejně říkal věci, které se mnohým nelíbily, obvykle proto, že je nechápali. A byly jim nepříjemné, takříkajíc proti srsti. Měli za to, že svým „vědátorským“ přístupem doslova ničí fotbal. Stejně jako když prosazoval taktiku vysunutého presinku - dnes základního prvku moderní fotbalové abecedy, na kterou přísahají všichni Kloppové, Guardiolové a další. Vysvětlit ale před 20 lety hvězdám Sparty, včetně Karla Poborského, že se po ztrátě míče mají hned pokusit ho zase získat, byl tehdy prostě problém. I proto, že si vznětlivý Hřebík nebral nikdy servítky. Nicméně vývoj mu dal prakticky ve všem, co kdy hlásal, jasně za pravdu. Ať se tomu pohodlné české fotbalové prostředí vzpíralo sebevíc.V aktuální epizodě Nosičů vody mluví Jaroslav Hřebík s typickou přímočarostí o slabých výkonech české reprezentace i jednadvacítky v Chorvatsku a na Slovensku, o tom, v čem podle něj čeští hráči zaostávají za zahraničními kolegy i jak to napravit. Vrací se k dávným roztržkám s Patrikem Schickem nebo k tomu, čím ho už při prvních setkáních zaujali Coufal a Souček.---Nosiči vodyFotbalový podcast Seznam Zpráv.

Paul Pogba est sur le point de s'engager avec l'AS Monaco. Le champion du monde 2018 n'a plus joué depuis le 3 septembre 2023, mais serait tombé d'accord avec le club du Rocher pour un contrat de deux ans en Principauté. Êtes-vous étonné qu'il retrouve un club ? Monaco a-t-il raison de tenter le pari ? Est-ce la plus grande star du championnat de France ? Croyez-vous à son retour au plus haut niveau ? Avec peu de pression populaire, Monaco est-il le meilleur endroit pour lui ? Croyez-vous à un retour en sélection ou est-ce un rêve impossible ? Les discussions s'intensifient autour de Nico Williams à Barcelone. Le Barça doit-il vraiment prioriser son arrivée ? Est-il Flick compatible ? Son association avec Yamal (qu'on voit en sélection) peut-elle faire du Barça une équipe qui rafle tout ?

Rumours of Cristiano Ronaldo's demise have been greatly exaggerated as he lifted yet another trophy and scored yet another important goal, this time helping Portugal lift the 'coveted' Nations League title against rivals Spain.Ronaldo just keeps going and just keeps scoring, and it must be becoming a bit of a headache for the Portugal team...or is it?The starboy once again lit up the game as Lamine Yamal put his money where his mouth is once again by calling his shot and then taking it, this time with fellow Ballon Do'r candidate Dembelé in his sights.He came, he saw, he conquered Europe.

Un an après sa défaite en demi-finale de l'Euro 2024, l'équipe de France retrouve jeudi 5 juin (21h) l'Espagne de Lamine Yamal en demi-finale de la Ligue des nations à Stuttgart, où elle espère profiter de l'euphorie de ses cinq champions d'Europe parisiens même si l'état de sa défense a de quoi inquiéter. Les héros de la capitale (Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaire-Emery) ne sont arrivés que lundi à Clairefontane, tout comme le capitaine Kylian Mbappé et Aurélien Tchouaméni, le Real Madrid n'ayant pas voulu libérer ses joueurs avant la date officielle fixée par la Fifa pour le début de la fenêtre internationale. Il y a bien longtemps que le numéro 10 n'a plus été décisif dans une rencontre importante en Bleu, et il ferait bien d'effacer le souvenir de sa prestation ratée du Championnat d'Europe face à la Roja (2-1). Il sera aussi forcément question de Ballon d'Or à Stuttgart en présence de Yamal et Dembélé, deux sérieux rivaux pour la conquête de la récompense individuelle suprême.Distribué par Audiomeans.

¡CAMBIO HISTÓRICO EN LAS REGLAS! TODO POR JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ ⚽ | ¿YAMAL TIENE MIEDO AL BALÓN DE ORO?

Après sa victoire en Ligue des Champions, Ousmane Dembélé fait office de favori pour le Ballon d'Or mais un homme semble lui faire barrage : Lamine Yamal. Qui sera le prochain Ballon d'Or ? Alors que la fin de la saison se rapproche, les candidats au prochain Ballon d'Or sont de moins en moins nombreux : les deux grands favoris semblent être Lamine Yamal et Ousmane Dembélé même si Hakimi, Donnarumma, Pedri ou encore Raphinha ont leur mot à dire. Est-ce que la demi-finale de Ligue des Nations entre la France et l'Espagne peut bouleverser les votes ? La Coupe du Monde des Clubs va-t-elle jouer en faveur de Dembélé ou Mbappé ? Le WFC se penche sur la lutte au Ballon d'Or.

Hello Rank Squad!With the conclusion at the weekend of the domestic campaigns still running, we thought it was a good time to look back on the season just gone and hand out some awards for the best (and worst) of what we've seen across the board. We start by talking about our favourite stories of this season, where we both plump for underdogs turning their seasons around, before we head into the main event. Across the Premier League and the rest of continental football, Dean and Jack work through Players, Managers and Clubs of the Season; before finishing off with the Letdowns of this campaign, and the Best Signings for good measure. It's Ranks!  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?

Mark celebrates the impending arrival of a certain Spanish center back (5:32), before Payton marvels at Barcelona securing their 28th la liga title win, via a memorable golazo in the Catalan derby (10:40), and then celebrating said title, even in a meaningless losing effort at home against Villarreal (45:04). Then, Mark discusses some subpar but ultimately winning efforts for Madrid against Mallorca (26:20), and Sevilla (37:49). Plus, the boys look ahead to the weekend games, with Barcelona taking on Athletic Club (56:20), and Real Madrid hosting Real Sociedad (58:56). 

What a week for football as teams end historical trophy draughts for their clubs. Mainly, Crystal palace lift an FA cup while Bologna lifts a Coppa Italia. In other leagues, Yamal is still on top form proving to the world he is a front runner for Ballon D'or. We also gave our final match day predictions as the PL and Serie A top race becomes contested.

Hello Rank Squad! It's that time of the year where amidst all the trophies being handed out, thoughts turn to who are the frontrunners in the race for the biggest individual prize in the game - France Football's yearly Ballon d'Or. Last year the award came with a whole thunderstorm of controversy, with Real Madrid boycotting the ceremony after Rodri won the top prize over Vinicius Jr. They probably don't need to worry that much this year - we'd be surprised if there were any Los Blancos stars anywhere near the podium - but the absence of both Vini and Rodri from the frontrunners opens up some interesting discussions. We dive deep on where we think the current positionings are for the likes of PSG's Ousmane Dembele, Gigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi, as well as Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Pedri - as well as the individual pace-setters like Mo Salah, Lautaro Martinez, Kylian Mbappé, and Harry Kane; before we also take a quick look at the Kopa Trophy candidates in Part Three. Before that, there's a return for Things We Love, where Dean discusses a big summer ahead for Arsenal in the transfer market, and Jack takes a quick look at a wonderful season at Balaidos for Celta Vigo, under the stewardship of Claudio Giraldez. It's Ranks!  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?

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at how Hansi Flick's slightly surprising appointment at Barcelona last summer has turned into a masterstroke, and how the German has immediately brought the Blaugrana back to the top table of European football with a string of youngsters and some of the most exciting attacking football on the continent. There were question marks about Flick after his ill-fated tenure with the German national team, but his record at club level speaks for itself. And yet, when he was appointed at Barcelona to replace Xavi last summer, there were plenty who felt that this could be a step in the wrong direction for a Barcelona side mired in debt and already one step behind fierce rivals Real Madrid, who had just won La Liga and the Champions League, and then gone out and signed Kylian Mbappé, who was widely considered the best player in the world. But Flick took Xavi's possession-orientated philosophy and made it more direct, more streamlined; put his faith in the youngsters emerging from La Masia; and turned good players into superstars - all whilst staying true to his own brand of football and putting perhaps the boldest style of football in Europe on display for all to see. So was this a stroke of luck that the players matched his philosophy, or has the former Bayern treble-winner worked his magic again on another squad willing to do whatever he needs for them to get to the very top? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...
