Stories of the Coliseum: from Galacticide to the red one to Ronaldo
The Coliseum, opened on August 30, 1998, does not bring too many good memories to Real Madrid. Getafe has often become aggravated by the visits of whites, repeated since 2005 thanks to the settlement of the azulones in the elite car of Spanish football. These are some of my memories in the Coliseum … Schuster’s sentence. On November 29, 2008, Madrid de Bernd succumbed (3-1) and the German signed the letter of his dismissal by stating later that “defeat does not hurt; We could never win this match. ” The settlement came a week later after falling at the Bernabéu against Sevilla.Karim @ Christian. On January 18, 2015, the Ancelotti signed a great victory in the Coliseum. Codina’s stops made the can not open until in 63 ’Benzema made a great play, like Butragueño against Cádiz in Copa, assisting Cristiano. Bale and CR7 himself signed an incontestable 0-3. But it’s not usual in Getafe … Ramos, hero. On September 30, 2007, Madrid de Schuster won by a lonely and heroic goal by Sergio Ramos, who ended up crashing into the goal post of Ustari. The other hero was Casillas, with seven stops that prevented Getafe from giving the white giant a new dislike.
‘The Galacticide’. On March 13, 2005, the Madrid of Luxembourg (the coach of the ‘magic square’) definitely lost the League by falling 2-1 to a Getafe who signed the win with goals from Albiol and Riki. Solari scored the ‘honor’ goal in the 90s ’and not even his teammates tried to get fast in search of a draw. Four days earlier, Juventus had eliminated Madrid from the Champions …Red to Ronaldo. Geuster of Schuster defeated Madrid de Capello on October 14, 2006. The only goal of the match was Alexis. It was the day of the only expulsion of Ronaldo Nazario in our League. The referee González Vázquez took the red one, although it seems incredible, because the Brazilian told him “you are a phenomenon”. Ronaldo would later say: “Telling him that it is a phenomenon is not a bad thing. If I get to insult you, he sends me three months to jail. And if I talk to him about his mother he shoots me …”.
The Canadian appreciates the effort that he and his household have made to make it what it’s immediately. “My dad and mom and my group have tried very arduous as a result of we now have continued on our approach to get right here. We didn’t obtain any help, so we had to put all our effort, cash … every thing. There was a time after we requested ourselves what to do as a result of we got here to a time after we had to journey and we couldn’t afford to go to extra tournaments. “Shapovalov reveals his enthusiasm for rising as a tennis participant with out caring about monetary positive factors or defeats.“After I wake up, my solely objective is to be higher and enhance issues. I’m making an attempt to develop as a tennis participant and as an individual. I would like to take pleasure in my profession. I don’t need to fear about the winnings or what I’m going to do if I don’t win this recreation. I’ve enjoyable and I would like to educate my recreation to everybody. “ Denis Shapovalov is one in every of the tennis gamers who will give the most to speak about in the future. At his 20 years the younger Canadian tennis participant marches sixteenth in the ATP rating And it could actually additionally boast of getting been a key participant for Canada to attain the Davis Cup last final yr.In an ATP interview, Shapovalov recounted how he began his tennis profession at age 5 thanks to his brother Evgeniy and his mom Tessa, who was an expert tennis participant throughout the 1990s. “When my brother Evgeniy labored with my mom, he tried to run on the monitor and bothered her by making an attempt to hit the balls. Then I began to hassle much more in coaching and my mom instructed me it was time to begin taking part in if I wished to “Shapovalov additionally relates how he did his coaching whereas going to faculty. “He was not a traditional boy. I bear in mind waking up at 5 or 6 in the morning to prepare earlier than going to faculty and that he additionally began at 10 or 11 at evening making an attempt to be higher, enhancing issues, crying on the monitor and giving every thing he had. “
That Lemar has not adapted to Atlético de Madrid is a fact. There are their numbers. The stunning player of Monaco in 2016-17 (55 games, 14 goals) has never appeared in Madrid. Griezmann’s request to prop up the champion Atlético who wanted his measure to stay in 2018, only in the first weeks did he leave signs of his undeniable talent (The Super Cup against Madrid in Tallinn will always be remembered as his best game as a rojiblanco), but now. Neither with Griezmann and Lucas, nor without Lucas and Griezmann, nor despite the confidence of Cholo, the pampering of the club, neither last season nor this one, Lemar has been that Lemar. In the showcase the past winter market, a hair’s breadth away, in the last hours ESPN points to movements to leave the rojiblanco club in the next. The journalist of the chain, Julien Laurens, reported that last week there was a first meeting between the player’s representatives and Manchester United, club interested in signing in the summer. In addition, it highlighted two circumstances. The first, that: that Lemar “does not adapt completely Diego Simeone’s style of play and he has run out of opportunities in the first team. “The second:”what wants to leave Atlético in summer after an unhappy period in the Spanish capital“, as it collected Stretty News In England. Atlético seeks to recover its high investment“It is clear that the 24-year-old needs a move to resurrect a promising career that seems to have hit a brick wall in Spain.“The news stood out. The weight of having been (until the arrival of João Félix) for one year the most expensive signing in the history of Atlético, who paid 70 million for his incorporation, got tangled in his legs and has not raised his head. Often, that player who promised everything in Monaco, wanders lost through the field, subtracting more than adding, one day, another, infinities. Pushed by the fans in a systematic way, his recovery as a rojiblanco seems increasingly difficult. United already loved him when he played for Monaco. Now may be the time. Of course, Atlético in all its negotiations for Lemar has always sought something (as it was made known in the past market to those who approached asking about it, Arsenal, Bayern, Lyon, Tottenham …): recoup your investment in the player. Not the ‘bad’ will pierce.
The striker of the Athletic, Iñaki Williams, reiterated his goal of intervening in the 2021 Euro Cup in Bilbao with the Spanish team with terrain in between for its postponement due to the coronavirus pandemic, since it has “one more year to demonstrate” Luis Enrique that can be sneaked this time into the list of summoned from La Roja. Williams reveals part of his routine at this time, confined to his home: “I spend a lot of time exercising, watching series like La Casa de Papel, being with the girlfriend, I thought I was going to have a much worse time“he points out, with his parents and his younger brother Nico, who is a member of the Juvenil de Honor de Athletic, in Pamplona since they were caught there opening the confinement. “My mother, as she is bored, makes me video calls every two by three, we talk a lot”, reveals sarcastically. Live in Bilbao center, which is why “it is strange, there is no one on the street, everything is desolate. On the walk to the supermarket it is strange that nobody stops me, that there are no people. It is sad that the city is like this. People are respecting stay at home”. They cannot approach him and in the supermarket some fan says to him: “I would take a picture of myself, but we cannot”. Regarding his practice with the play, he stresses that “I have improved somewhat, but I am still a package”. They maintain a plannig of the template that is updated every day by the wasap group to share the tasks: “They brought us a treadmill, stationary bike, mats, tires, everything you need and I’m burning the treadmill”. He usually talks to his colleagues, videos are sent, especially dialogues with Muniain, with Unai, with Yeray. “We are all connected and they are missed,” he remarks. The lion does not hide that they would need “a preseason” to return to the competition: “It is true that we are used to playing every four or five days, but making tape at home is not – much less – like running in the field. I want to sprint again in good condition and run like a gazelle. It would be absurd to think about competing again without doing a little preseason, “Williams said in remarks to The spar of the BE. “If we want to return to that rhythm of competition that we had before the break, we need this because if there cannot be many injuries and upsets,” he added Williams, who is clear that “the most important thing” is to think “the first, in people’s health “, even if you have to play without fans in the stadiums when LaLiga returns. “If they tell me that without an audience it will be good for everyone’s health, you have to have a head and common sense. We have to think of everyone. If they guarantee it, effectively, I would play without an audience, “confessed the striker Athletic, although for the Cup final he trusts “finding the solution so that everyone can enjoy “the desired Basque derby against Real.Williams continues to appeal for caution. Soccer is secondary. “I still do not consider it. There are still people who die every day, many affected and we continue to go out at eight to applaud all the toilets. I look out because I like to set an example. You have to support those who are risking their lives “, points out the rojiblanco winger, one of the fastest players in the league. And launched, for boaters, that “We are going to value many things that previously we surely did not do because we could do it at any time.”The Spanish team does not forget it or the shore. He is young and feels with renewed strength: “I have that illusion, now I have one more year to show that I can be on that list. Hopefully the little ball will come in and everything will be easier. I, of course, will give everything I have to be able to be “ditch Williams. Regarding possible financial adjustment agreements with the club, he maintains that it belongs to the captains and that it will be “very easy” to reach an agreement with Athletic. 9

He played at Santaella, Third, from September to December 1988. This team has currently disappeared, but it was then a subsidiary of Córdoba. Hence, he left on loan those months.7. His first steps as a player were in Córdoba. I was going to Vespino to train, Then he asked his companion Miguel Ángel Portugal for the Ford Capri.8. During that time, stayed at Paco’s parents’ house. Some of the players with whom he shared costumes they still remember the crumbs their mother made.9. Camacho made him debut with Rayo in First and that 92-93 season he played it all. Something that only Voro (Valencia) and he did. He had a difficult job in his premiere in the elite: covering Penev. “Come on, I did not give hosts that day.”10. Being in the Ray, Paco faced Maradona when he was playing for Sevilla. He had to dial him and Suker. “He warmed up with his boots unbuttoned, his stockings down and in his air, kicking the aluminum foil balls that were pulling his sandwiches.” Keep a photo of that game at home.

They are a rabble.” 27. He is a great motivator. He put the families of the Rayo players in the locker room to be part of the talk of the last game of the historic season of eighth place.

It was also common to see him in First leaving a defense of three or making a change in the first minutes of the game. Furthermore, their teams always took off in the second laps. 22. Why a seasoned footballer bets on associative and offensive football as a coach? He admired Bebeto (“I have never seen anyone define him like him”), Rivaldo (“the person I have seen the most Coca Cola drink in my life, even having breakfast”), Martín Vázquez (“pure elegance”) … with the who played and wanted his teams to follow that pattern. “Before they used to tell you: you cut and give it to the one closest to you.” He wanted something more. 36.

“Karius has gone to FIFA for unpaid wages to request the termination of his contractTorunogullari says. “He wants us to pay him for the months he has not played,” says the Turk, who defends that the club does not want to make “an undeserved payment”.The 26-year-old goalkeeper is remembered for the unhappy night he lived in the 2018 Champions League final, in which two of his mistakes cost Liverpool two goals which, in the end, they would represent the thirteenth ‘orejona’ of Real Madrid. German goalkeeper Loris Karius has contacted FIFA to report non-payment by Besiktas and request an immediate termination of his transfer to the Turkish club.. This was reported by Erdal Torunogullari, member of the Besiktas board, through a publication on his personal Instagram account.

In Süper Lig he has played 55 matches in two seasons, in addition to another ten in the Europa League, where his team has been eliminated both times in the group stage.
The goalkeeper’s future, however, is unclear. If you terminate your contract with Besiktas, would have to return to Liverpool until the end of the season. But the ‘reds’, who have secured the goal with Allison and the Spanish AdriánThey do not seem interested in having him and will look for a way out.However, Karius does not think about it. In February, in an interview for the German magazine Sport Bild, he acknowledged that he remains in contact with both Jürgen Kloop and John Achterberg, Liverpool’s goalkeeping coach. “I have a contract until 2022“Said the goalkeeper, who stated that it was” soon “to say nothing about the summer,”especially now that nobody knows exactly what to do because of the coronavirus“

Therefore their stance of not complaining to the company, as they’ve acknowledged that they are going to do different groups in different teams each in their division and in the Second B.Thus, the future of the subsidiary is touched as a result of, had he promoted to Second B this course, he may have extra simply achieved his aim of nurturing the first staff. Now the transforming of the class, of the Second B, makes the potential of the “pickles” much less in comparison with the competitors of groups in the bronze class that would signal potential reinforcements of the subsidiary.Minimize wagesWith this cancellation of the season, the cuts that Leganés had agreed together with his subsidiary and that the membership introduced at the identical time as the settlement reached with the first staff are activated. The covenant was comparable, however completely different.If the competitors returned and ended, as with the older ones, the boys wouldn’t see their wage different.

Luis Cembranoscoach Leganes B, has its future in the air. The technician, who got here to direct the first staff throughout three days of transition between Pellegrino and Aguirre (the first triumph of the course was obtained from his hand), contract ends on June 30. In his case it had been robotically prolonged by one 12 months in the occasion of promotion.

Ramel ‘Sub Zero’ Lewis made a successful return to the ring after a break of nearly two years, when he defeated American boxer Fard ‘The Messenger’ Muhammad, by technical knockout, one minute and 46 seconds into round four, of their Wray and Nephew Contender bout.The fight took place on Wednesday night at the Chinese Benevolent Association audi-torium.It was a bruising affair, as neither man paid much attention to defence. Both boxers had periods of ascendancy but, Lewis, the bigger man, slowly gained the ascendancy and hit Muhammad at will after backing him to the ropes on several occasions.After one particularly hectic period, when Muhammad was backed into a corner and hit repeatedly to the head and body with powerful punches, his corner threw in the towel, calling a halt to the spirited battle.It was a punishing intro-duction to professional boxing for Muhammad, who has been engaged for some time in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).He showed speed and cunning, and did a lot of talking in an effort to upset his opponent. Referee Ransford Burton issued cease and desist orders to him to keep his mouth shut, but he was not entirely successful in that regard. Muhammad at 5’41/2″ tall, was a bundle of energy, and used his speed to make himself an elusive target.FOUGHT IN SPURTSHe fought in spurts and kept his head low, most of the time. There were several occasions when he bored in and seemed ready to grapple with his opponent in MMA style. That did not occur, however, and he was able to keep to the boxing script. Lewis was also able to back Muhammad into a corner, from time to time, and it was on these occasions that he scored most of his points.The American tried to intimidate Lewis in the early stages of the fight, and scored with a series of flurries. Lewis suffered a cut over his left eye during one of these exchanges, but it was not serious and never bothered him.For the next few rounds, Lewis fought a dogged battle against an opponent who was smart and moved very quickly. His power punches eventually took their toll, however, and gave him victory over a very game opponent.Lewis has now booked himself a place in the quarter-finals, where he will meet one of the other winners from the preliminary stage of the competition. They are vying for the Wray and Nephew 2016 Welterweight Contender title and the prize money of$2 million attached.
