Hertha BSC is subject to Werder Bremen: Crisis is when the penalty doesn’t even go in

January 25, 2021 by drbyos

Werder Bremen has distanced itself from the relegation places and exacerbated the Hertha BSC crisis. Bremen won 4-1 (2-1) in Berlin on the 18th Bundesliga matchday. Davie Selke (10th minute, penalty kick) and Ömer Toprak (29th) gave Werder the lead. Jhon Córdoba (45th + 2) made the connection, but Leonardo Bittencourt (57th) and Joshua Sargent (77th) achieved the final score.

Hertha BSC only scored one goal in the last four games, only got one point and is in a crisis. The Berliners are only two points ahead of 1. FC Köln on the relegation place. Cologne will play against Hoffenheim on Sunday and could overtake Hertha. Werder Bremen is currently six points ahead of the relegation place.

Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia played with three strikers against Cologne a week ago, against Hoffenheim with two strikers – now against Werder only Jhon Córdoba remained at the top. Krzysztof Piatek was on the bench, Dodi Lukebakio was not in the squad. At first, the Berliners hardly radiated a goal danger even with the new line-up.

Instead, the Hertha defense enabled Bremen to take the lead early. Maximilian Mittelstädt came too late in the penalty area with a tackle against Romano Schmid, referee Daniel Schlager decided on a penalty. Davie Selke transformed it with a placed shot in the right corner of the goal to make it 1-0 (10th).

Hertha tried to get possession of the ball, but rarely came into the Bremen penalty area. A dribble by Matheus Cunha then opened the chance to equalize: Bremen’s Jean-Manuel Mbom hit Cunha from behind, again referee Schlager gave a penalty. Cunha took the shot himself, but goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka parried the shot with a jump into the right corner (22nd). Just seven minutes later, Bremen struck again. Leonardo Bittencourt crossed a corner kick from the right into the penalty area and Ömer Toprak headed 2-0 (29th). Later, Selke (32nd) and Toprak (51st) had to be replaced due to injuries.

Werder withdrew and left the ball to Berlin more often. Hertha kept coming up to the penalty area, but the big chances were not there. Shortly before the break, however, the connection was made. Peter Pekarík crossed from the right into the penalty area and Córdoba headed the 2-1 (45th + 2).

A race to catch up did not result from the goal. Instead, Bremen pulled away again after the break. Maximilian Eggestein played a high ball at the penalty spot and Bittencourt shot goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow the ball through his legs into the goal (57th).

After that, Berlin was not without a chance. Cunha had the great opportunity to reconnect, but missed the goal without being forced to shoot, instead of crossing to Piatek, who was ready to shoot (66th). Bremen remained cautious for a long time, but the substitute Sargent made the preliminary decision, with a shot from 20 meters he scored 4-1 (77th).

The worst case threatens BVB

January 25, 2021 by drbyos

AThe people in charge at Borussia Dortmund described the sporting course of the January weeks as “trend-setting”. That sounded like confidence, some were hoping to return to the title race. Three weeks later they have to hope that they were wrong in their assessment. Should January actually set the course, then the worst case threatens: a year without the Champions League. BVB is only in seventh place after the 2: 4 in Mönchengladbach. The trend looks threatening, also for economic stability. Missing this competition, which is now a very realistic scenario, would be a serious setback.

Last season, BVB made a loss of 44 million euros as a result of the pandemic, and they are calculating a loss of 75 million euros for the current game year. If in the coming year the 30 to 40 million euros that a participation in the Champions League brings in, that would affect the substance.

The qualification for the premier class was “actually always mandatory”, said managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke at the beginning of the year in an interview with the “kicker”. If you miss this goal, it is “not endangering the very existence”, but the club is forced “to take a step back”, can no longer afford a squad “of this size and quality” and has to “redeploy”.

A change would be inevitable

Borussia Dortmund played nine times in the Champions League in the past ten years, and this success became the foundation for the impressive growth. Without this competition, big income would have been missing, but the games against the giants of world football are important as an attractant for the many talents that Zorc was able to convince from BVB. These professionals – currently for example Haaland, Sancho, Reyna or Bellingham – make the team interesting, often such football players can be sold on at high prices with big profits. A year without a premier class would not bring this business model to a complete collapse, but a phase of upheaval would be inevitable.

Everyone is aware of this responsibility, and it can quickly become a burden. Yet they urgently want to regain the lost lightness. At least that’s what Favre’s successor Edin Terzic says again and again when he is asked about the reasons for the changeable performance of the creative forces in the team. Whereby in Mönchengladbach the weakness in opposing corners and free kicks was the focus of self-criticism. Three of the four goals conceded came after such standard situations.

There is not much leeway left in the search for solutions to the problem of fluctuations in performance. In the past two years, BVB has repeatedly committed players with the idea of fundamentally stabilizing the team (Witsel, Can, Hummels). They formulated appeals, held internal debates and replaced the trainer – without the desired effect. The change of coach could turn out to be a mistake. In this difficult moment of the season, the experienced Lucien Favre, endowed with great authority, would perhaps be more effective than the friendly Terzic, whom everyone calls Edin and who in Mönchengladbach found no tactical answers to the clever system changes with which his colleague – and possible successor – Marco Rose acted.

The Castellón-Sporting preview: all Gallego’s men

January 24, 2021 by drbyos

Because that is the main novelty. The nine dynamic players of the first team who had been infected are already at the disposal of the coach: Nacho Méndez, Manu García and Pablo Pérez –who already played for a minute–, but also Pelayo Suárez –who played the full game with the subsidiary yesterday–, Gaspar, Guille Rosas, Gragera, Pedro Díaz and Mariño, the last to return to training, this week. At least, they have a medical discharge, which is not the same as a competitive discharge, as the rojiblanco coach already clarified, who reluctantly sees how the break after holidays and sick leave, as well as the consequences of the disease, can affect them.

The sportinguista coach has already advanced that the decision “is not difficult”, since “I am very clear about what we are going to look for”, although admitting that “I have more variants”. It is assumed that Diego Mariño will replace Christian Joel under sticks and that Guille Rosas can challenge Bogdan for the position on the side. The entry of Manu García by Carmona is another probable variant. The good role of Cristian Salvador in midfield would close the door to Pedro or Nacho Méndez and Cumic, who is beginning to feel comfortable, would do the same with Gaspar.

However, the Sporting line-up could be the one made up of Mariño under the sticks; Bogdan, Babin, Borja López and Saúl in defense; Cristian Salvador and Javi Fuego in the double pivot; Aitor and Cumic in the bands; Manu García as a midfielder and Djurdjevic as a forward.

Sporting will thus seek a victory that allows them to start the second round as the first ended: winning and without leaving the play-off positions. For its part, Castellón has a new coach, after the arrival of Juan Carlos Garrido, with which his tactical intentions, as Gallego already advanced, are unknown.

The goal and Entrerríos head to Spain to fight for the medals

January 24, 2021 by drbyos

Spain will fight for the medals in the Handball World Cup. Except for a hecatomb or paranormal event. Before Germany, the crossroads of the second phase that established the direction to follow, Spain confirmed that it goes from less to more in the tournament. With the two goalkeepers in a state of grace, with a superlative Raúl Entrerríos and with an immeasurable defense, they knew how to cancel the rival’s tricks and, above all, overcome a second half that for 15 minutes spread doubts. There are now the games against weak Uruguay and, on Monday, against Hungary, coached by Chema Rodríguez from Palencia. In that match, on Monday, the group champion will be decided unless the Magyars crash before Poland

In that imitation of a chess game that is often the game of handball, Spain and Germany put on the World Cup board a game in which Gislason and Jordi Ribera visualized a match and the players decided to play another.

From the outset, the very high pace of the game did not seem the most appropriate for the veteran Spanish team. But it happens that when you find that your goalkeeper stops almost all of them, the rush of adrenaline and defensive confidence that you suffer is directly proportional to the doubts that appear in the rival. AND Corrales offered a show of stops of such magnitude that Wolf ended up obscured in the opposite frame.

Referees:: The Croats Gubica and Milosevic.

From the Pick Szeged goalkeeper, Spain raised a wall with a 5-1 defense that puzzled the Germans at times. Only Hafner, a human bulk that combines speed with power and a left arm impressive in precision, managed to pierce the wall. It was the toll that had to be paid to prevent the Teutonic gunboats from crushing the goal from afar. In handball, if you want to avoid pitches you have to be deep so that the pitchers are far away, but that opens up spaces behind the back. You can not have it all. The trick is to know what is ideal in each second.

And, as is repeated so many times, the attack in handball is born from defense. Under the Magisterium of Raúl Entrerríos, exalted ruler of the rhythm of the party and great manager of the tactical needs of his own, the Hispanics functioned like a machine greased with precision … German. Patience to move and dislodge the rocky bricks of the German wall, combined with the necessary speed in the kickoffs to find the counter-goal that undermines the rivals so much.

But as much as it seemed that everything was on track, nothing could be further from the truth. Gislason worked during the break with his men and the keys he pressed caused Spain’s +3 to drift to -2 in 15 minutes.

The defense was not working and the attack was stuck. It was only possible to reset and return to the initial plan. With a nuance: Pérez de Vargas by Corrales. The Hispanics went to 6-0, the Toledo began to stop at the same level as Corrales in the first act and Germany was fading asphyxiated by the effort and cleared by the scythe of Entrerríos, who found at all times the pass, the gap, the rhythm, which the meeting demanded.

Madrid wins in Seville and gives air to Zidane

January 24, 2021 by drbyos

Real Madrid – Borussia Mönchengladbach, live

Real Madrid remade itself and with a lot of suffering, defensive order and a churro goal got a victory of merit at Sánchez Pizjuán against Sevilla that allows him not to continue hanging from the head of the Santander League and rearm morale to face the Wednesday appointment with more tranquility in Valdebebas against Borussia in which its continuity in the Champions is played.

As so many times, when it was worst, Zidane was the great beneficiary. When his position was more in question than ever, his team came to his aid to get him out of the hole. Without scratching at the height of the Camp Nou or San Siro, Madrid raised their benefits and had enough to take the three points. He played an acceptable first half in which he missed the goal and was able to resist the attacks of Sevilla in the second.

The same system

Madrid continued with 4-3-3

Madrid was a team that pushed very high and wanted to be the protagonist of the game from the first moment. The drawing was the 4-3-3 that Zidane likes so much, this time with the two Brazilians Vinícius and Rodrygo, open to the wings, with Benzema leading the way and a classic midfielder hat-trick, with Casemiro, Modric and Kroos. Two were the players who paid the Kiev duck with a bench: Odegaard, who has not yet established himself in the team, and Asensio, curiously the best against Shakhtar.

Sevilla was also a very recognizable team, with the eleven of the gala arranged by Lopetegui except for the left-back, who was occupied by Aleix Vidal. However, it took him half an hour to enter the game, overcome by the high pressure of the whites. When he did, he was late.

Lack of goal

Madrid continues with very little punch

Madrid deserved to go to rest in advantage, but did not show its superiority because it suffered from a shot, one of its great problems and that has already become chronic since Cristiano left more than two years ago.

The goal went around in the Bono area in many ways, without materializing. As soon as he started, Vinícius finished off in an unbeatable position and the ball went heeled. Vini himself put his foot in to block a Bono goal kick and the Brazilian failed to finish off when the ball returned after Benzema’s header. Kroos was also able to unbalance the score in a shot from outside the area that took a thread and went high. The clearest was the last one, a shot from Benzema that would have come in if Bono hadn’t made a huge save. Before all that offensive power, Sevilla did not have a single chance to score in the entire first period.

The second part started with a change. Munir, injured, left the job to Oliver Torres. It was as if Sevilla’s face had been changed because its staging was much better. He locked Madrid in his area and created danger almost immediately. At 51 minutes De Jong had the goal in a Chilean shot that was soft, easy for Courtois.

The goal

Bono put inside a bad auction of Vinícius

When Sevilla was better, Madrid scored in a counter, in 57. That is how unpredictable football is. The goal had a lot of churro. Mendy put a ball in for Vinícius, who shot badly but Bono put his body badly and the ball escaped him and went inside. Lopetegui reacted with three changes. He slammed into En Nesyri, Suso and Gudelj to infuse strength into all lines. Zidane’s only response was to trade Rodrygo for Asensio.

The changes left the game very much for Sevilla. The last half hour became very long for Madrid, who lived very withdrawn around Courtois and barely found an exit because the ball did not last at all. Sevilla’s fence did not translate into many scoring opportunities either because Madrid knew how to defend with a lot of order and without the usual distractions.

Sevilla’s attack

Sevilla’s best chances came very late

All in all, for Madrid it was a sinvivir because with the ball so close to their door the tie could fall at any moment. Suso was able to achieve it in a great distant shot in 85 that went over the crossbar. In 86 it was Lucas Ocampos who finished off as a Chilean and forced Courtois to a great save, his first intervention.

The match even ended with several dangerous cons of Madrid that found no prize. Zidane leaves Seville much better than how he arrived. A story that has already been lived many times.

Euroleague: Defeat of Real Madrid and ugly fall of Rudy Fernndez | Euroleague 2020

Narration.

This is how we live the game
Euroleague.

The classification

In case the defeat was not enough punishment, Real Madrid finished the match against Red Star more pending. Rudy Fernndez than the result (77-79). At the gates of the last minute, Branko Lazic he wanted to hinder the Mallorqun when he jumped for an offensive rebound and destabilized him in the air. Rudy went down in the worst possible way, hitting himself on the small of the back, an area that has not stopped torturing him in the last decade. Three operations and endless pain. While Thompkins he threw the unsportsmanlike free throws, the Mallorcan was lying on the ground receiving medical assistance. Before the defeat was consummated, he had to go to the locker room with the help of two physios, without even being able to stand up.

The diagnosis of Rudy Fernndez is more worrisome than the image of Real Madrid, which is not much different from the one he offered against Bayern. Again the heaviness, the thicket, and this time, not enough revenue to escape with a scolding triumph. After a whole night in tow, the whites managed to reach the last possession of the game with options to win or force the extension but the shot by elevation of Jaycee Carroll at the last second he found only iron. Defeat against one of the EuroLeague caboose teams and missed opportunity to tie with Bara. CSKA and the Catalans are on a step that the Whites have not yet reached.

And the board does not mint. Recently Dejan Radovic He has returned to the bench, but the plan has not changed much: the Red Star is one of the slowest teams in the Euroleague and deprived a Real Madrid that was already cold. Not because of Filomena, who prevented the Serbs from landing in the capital last week, but because in the last 10 days she had only been able to play one match.

In tow

The Red Star arrived without Jordan Loyd, second top scorer in the Euroleague, but was Corey Walden, a point guard who has been climbing the ladder in European basketball based on points. In two bursts, one in the first quarter and the other in the second, he unloaded 16 points on Real Madrid, who soon began to be seen from behind in the game. There was no one to rattle it, so after the break Pablo Laso resorted to an infallible remedy: to put on top of Jeffery Taylor, but not much more of Madrid either.

Because although he managed to cover that water pipe, the Red Star opened another. The Vitorian coach had already warned that the open interiors of the Serbian team could harm him. It is the best way to remove from the area Tavares and shake the white defense, which found no antidote to Dobric (13) ni Reath (10). Not enough in attack to lift the game. LaprovittolaIn a summary of his trajectory in white, he alternated a dazzling start with a fairly discreet second half. An unexpected defeat, but not the one that hurt the most.

Olot transfers center Llus Aspar to Sevilla

January 24, 2021 by drbyos

The good work of Olot in terms of the nursery is beginning to bear fruit. Arumí, Julià and Àlex Garcia are regulars in the first team squad alongside Lluís Aspar. The Molló power station, however, flies from La Garrotxa to make the leap to the Seville branch. This was announced yesterday by the club, which has reached an agreement for the transfer of Aspar to the Andalusian team in exchange for an economic amount, and variables depending on performance. At just 20 years old and with 40 games in the bronze category – only 3 this year due to injury – Aspar was a very beautifying candy. In fact, Ripollès had been followed by a good group of clubs for a long time and in the end it was Sevilla who took him to their subsidiary. Aspar’s farewell leaves the team without a cash on defense and now it remains to be seen if the club is looking for a replacement.

On the other hand, the team will visit Johan Cruyff tomorrow to face Barça B. The match could be an ultimatum for Raúl Garrido in case of defeat. “It’s like your wife is telling you that she’s planning to leave you but if you get along well on the weekend, she might continue with you. How are you? Dolgut. Especially when the relationship in this marriage has been great, almost perfect “, said the coach, very” disappointed “with the intentions of the board, who did not like the tie against Cornellà.

The fascination with K2, the peak that makes you lose your mind

Barcelona“K2 is not an evil being hiding in the Baltoro Glacier, waiting for us. It’s just there, indifferent. It is an inanimate mountain of rock, ice and snow. Its savagery is the result of everything we project on it, as if we were to blame for our own misfortunes, ”wrote Ed Viesturs after returning from K2. Viesturs, the first American to climb the 14 peaks of more than 8,000 meters on the planet, almost left the skin on the second highest mountain on the planet, at 8,611 meters. “To try to reach the top, we climbed despite the threat of bad weather. And in mountaineering, climbing is optional, but descending is mandatory. In the descent I almost lose my life, ”he recalls. Every year the objects of the climbers who lose their lives in K2 end in an improvised memorial in the base camp, to which will now be added the name of the Catalan Sergi Mingote, the last victim of the “cursed mountain”, as many call it . “She’s not cursed,” says Viesturs, who has dedicated a book to a summit that “is fascinating; it’s perfect, it can make you lose control.”
