  • Messi, Grain De Sable Pour Zidane
    Sport / Sports Real-Barça Messi, grain de sable pour Zidane ©D. R. Il s'était égaré en Ligue des champions mais Lionel Messi a ressurgi dimanche dans le clasico de Liga (3-2) : un doublé, un 500e but avec Barcelone et un sacré grain de sable pour Zinedine Zidane. “ZZ” a, lui, raté ce grand rendez-vous pour la première fois qu'il est entraîneur du Real. Éliminé mercredi de l'épreuve-reine européenne, le Barça aurait pu tout perdre en l'espace d'une semaine, mais c'était compter sans Messi. Le quintuple Ballon d'or, resté stérile en huitièmes de C1 face au PSG (excepté un penalty) puis lors du quart perdu contre la Juve, a achevé sa traversée du désert au meilleur moment : au stade Santiago-Bernabeu, face à l'éternel rival merengue. Son doublé tout en virtuosité (33e, 90e+2) lui a permis de devenir le premier homme à atteindre la barre symbolique des 500 buts sous le maillot blaugrana. Surtout, l'Argentin a relancé un Barça moribond : le club catalan est à nouveau leader (75 pts) à la différence de buts particulière devant le Real (75 pts), avec le rêve d'un nouveau doublé Liga-Coupe du Roi, le troisième d'affilée. “Messi a tranché : la Liga reste en jeu”, a résumé le quotidien sportif Marca, le plus lu d'Espagne. “L'extase”, a titré le journal catalan Mundo Deportivo, “Saint Messi”, a osé son homologue Sport. Et tous ont salué l'immense prestation du petit lutin argentin, qui a répondu du tac au tac à Cristiano Ronaldo, devenu mardi dernier le premier joueur à dépasser les 100 buts en C1.

  • Gabriel Paulista
    GABRIEL PAULISTA: EQUIPOS: Vitoria, Villarreal, Arsenal, Valencia LIGA 1ª: 30 partidos (18/30 19/) COPA: 6 partidos (18) TOTAL: 36 partidos Lo primero que quizá haya que advertir es que Paulista no es un apellido, sino el adjetivo que en Brasil añaden a los que nacieron en Sao Paulo; como ocurría con Marcelinho Carioca (de Rio) o Fernando Baiano (de Bahía). El jugador se llama de verdad Gabriel Armando de Abreu (1990) y es un defensa central longilíneo que siempre parece enfadado sobre la hierba. Su posición no es la idónea para optar a Míster Simpatía –fuera del campo dicen que es un tipo encantador; y desde luego sale sonriente en todas las fotos‐ y a lo mejor sólo se trata de expresión concentrada, pero cuadra con la que parece su concepción del fútbol: un juego en el que unos se dedican a lanzar pelotas y otros, entre los que se cuenta, las interceptan. No significa que no sepa manejarla, pero da la sensación de que no le gusta. Sólo de vez en cuando se anima a dar unas zancadas al frente –los comentaristas lo llaman salir de la cueva, como si los centrales fuesen trogloditas‐ pero acaba por pasarla sin ir más allá. Por lo demás resulta un defensa de fiar, a quien sólo se le cruza un cable muy de cuando en cuando; que gustó mucho en Villarreal, algo menos en Londres hasta que una lesión lo mermó y que aquí parece sólidamente instalado sin contradicción de la grada.

  • LEARNING from the BEST Gabriel Masfurroll
    LEARNING FROM THE BEST Gabriel Masfurroll Foreword I first met Gabriel Masfurroll in the seventies, when he was a teenager and a competitive swimmer. At that time, swimming played a very important part in my life because the European Championships held in Barcelona in 1970, in which I participated actively, were an excellent yardstick for the Olympic Games of 1992. Masfurroll was living in the Residencia Joaquín Blume in Barcelona, run by my friend Ricardo Sánchez, and we had good friends in common such as Santiago Esteva and Maria Paz Corominas, swimmers who in their day were key figures in Spanish sport. I shall never forget something ‘Gaby’, as his friends call him, said to me when he was still very young: “Mr. Samaranch, when I grow up I want to be like you and match your achievements. I also love sport and believe I can do a lot for it”. It comes as no surprise to me, then, to see Masfurroll holding positions of responsibility in leading sporting institutions. A few years later, I met up with “Gaby” again when he was head of the Quirón Clinic in Barcelona. Since then we have kept in touch on a regular basis. We have met and written to each other on numerous occasions and I recall a beautiful picture, on display at the headquarters of the Olympic Committee in Lausanne, which he gave me on one of his visits. I have followed his career very closely over these years and that phrase “when I grow up I want to be like you”, made me take a keen interest in both his personal and professional development.

  • Versado, Siempre Defendió Que Nunca Aprendió Tanto De Sí Mismo Y De Sus Compañeros Como En Un Terreno De Juego
    Luis Aragonés era adicto al olor de la hierba. Para Kevin Keegan, único inglés con dos Balones de Oro, lo más difícil en la vida es “encontrar algo para reemplazar al fútbol, porque no hay nada”. Jorge Valdano, un filósofo muy versado, siempre defendió que nunca aprendió tanto de sí mismo y de sus compañeros como en un terreno de juego. Pep Guardiola tiene claro que lo que caracteriza a un buen entrenador es “lo que los jugadores dirá de él cuando todo haya terminado”. Desligarse del deporte rey es psicológicamente complejo, ha llegado a causar profundas depresiones. Por ello, la mayoría de futbolistas construyen un puente. Se hacen ‘scouts’, pasan al mundo de la representación, se forman como directivos. Pero los más osados, o puede que los más inconscientes, dan el salto al banquillo. Del lugar más cómodo pasan al más complicado. Da igual que hayan vivido en la élite o tenido una trayectoria modesta, la tendencia a esa metamorfosis cada vez es mayor. Es un buen momento para pulsar esa evolución del césped a la pizarra, moneda tan corriente en este siglo XXI. 7 de agosto de 2020. El City acaba de apear al Real Madrid en octavos de final de la Champions. Minutos después, apenas dos siluetas quedan en el césped. Pep Guardiola, jersey y pantalón de pinza, está sentado sobre la nevera de las bebidas isotónicas. Habla y gesticula, cabeza ladeada. Zinedine Zidane, manos en los bolsillos de un elegante traje negro, con el toque informal de unas zapatillas deportivas, oye y asiente. Siete Champions frente a frente, dos en el campo, cinco en los banquillos.
