[Hot] Ronald Koeman in Over His Head After Another Barcelona Loss TOP STORIES MENU Ronald Koeman in over his head after another Barcelona loss HERALDSCOTLAND | 3 MONTHS AGO | 3 MINUTES, 35 SECONDS READ NEIL LENNON is not the only European manager to discover this season that no amount of success as a player can inure you from criticism once your failings in the dug-out start to become evident. Ronald Koeman was a curious choice as Barcelona boss in the summer given his less than stellar turn in his last club role at Everton but a cautious welcome was afforded the Dutchman largely on the back of his heroics as a player at the Nou Camp. Sadly, all he has done in the subsequent four months is tarnish that reputation as Barcelona limp on from one bad league result to another. Saturday's 2-1 defeat to newly-promoted Cadiz - who hadn't won at home all season until the visit of the Catalan club - was perhaps the nadir, with both Cadiz goals stemming from defensive mistakes. Alvaro Negredo no doubt couldn't believe his luck when goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen kicked his clearance straight at him allowing the striker to tap into an empty net for what proved to be the winner. You have to run your finger almost halfway down the La Liga table to find Barcelona languishing in ninth place, 12 points behind leaders Atletico. It is going down to take some kind of footballing miracle for them to win the championship from here. In mitigation, the troubles didn't only start following Koeman's appointment. Instead he merely meandered into the middle of them; the off-field turbulence, the doubts over Lionel Messi's future at the club, the urgent need for a squad rebuild. Barcelona's allure has undoubtedly faded in recent years. It has been six seasons since they last won the Champions League while they ended last year empty-handed on the domestic front too. Unlike Lennon, Koeman has at least found some respite in Europe where Barcelona have somehow won all five of their Champions League group games. That offers Koeman some hope heading into the second half of the season, although whether he is still there to try to turn it around in La Liga remains to be seen. Koeman will bump into another playing legend trying to make it as a manager at his former club this evening when Juventus arrive in town. Like Lennon, Andrea Pirlo has been handed the responsibility of delivering a tenth successive league title to a club accustomed to success but so far not getting things their own way. The Old Lady remain undefeated in Serie A this season - a late Leonardo Bonucci goal saw them squeeze past Torino in the derby at the weekend - but five draws in their opening 10 matches leaves them down in fourth, six points behind the Serie A leaders. They are, of course, Milan, another of Pirlo's former clubs, who have enjoyed a thunderous start as they look to lift a first league title since 2011 while denying their old rivals in the process - sound familiar? On the back of their come-from-behind defeat of Celtic on Thursday night, Stefano Pioli's men kept up the pace domestically by winning 2-1 away to Sampdoria. Tucked in behind them are city rivals Inter who defeated Aaron Hickey's Bologna 3-1, with the former Hearts defender booked during his 63 minutes on the field. His side lies in tenth. It is still increasingly tight at the top of the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich and title rivals RB Leipzig playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw at the weekend. Bayern's goals came from 17 year-old Jamal Musiala - German-born but an England under-21 cap - and a double from the rather more experienced Thomas Mueller. That opened the door again for Borussia Dortmund but once more they couldn't capitalise, held to a 1-1 draw by Eintracht Frankfurt. Dortmund coach Lucien Favre's post-match assessment that he was "okay with a point" perhaps gives an indicator as to why the Ruhr club haven't won the league title for eight years. The biggest winners of the weekend in Germany, then, were Bayer Leverkusen who moved into second spot with a 3- 0 skelping of sorry Schalke who remain bottom. It was business as usual in France. Kylian Mbappe scored his 100th goal for PSG as they won away at Montpellier to remain two points clear of Lille who travel to face Celtic on Thursday on the back of a 2-1 win over Monaco. ends CATEGORY: HOT TAGS: GOODISON PARK WATCH LA LIGA LIVE CADIZ BARCELONA DIARIO MARCA MESSI LATEST NEWS BARÇA LA LIGA LIVE BARCELONA LAST MATCH BARCELONA VS BARCELONA BBC GOAL EXTERNAL RELATED NEWS NEWS IN HOT CATEGORY UAE records 1871 new COVID-19 cases in 24 hours GULF TODAY • 24 MINUTES AGO Picture used for illustrative purpose.

But the chief minister of the northeastern state of Mizoram said on Sunday that he had held talks with a member of a committee of ousted lawmakers in Myanmar, which is attempting to reestablish the civilian government. Many of the people who have sought shelter in the remote Indian state since late February are defecting policemen and their families. “We have to help them in the time of need,” Mizoram lawmaker K. Vanlalvena, who attended the meetings, said in an interview. At least 250 people have been killed and thousands detained in Myanmar since Feb. 1, with security forces attempting to stamp out widespread pro-democracy protests.

Players like Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten and Dennis Bergkamp, and more recently Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie, have long set a standard for exciting, creative play. In the 1980's and '90's The Netherlands provided the soccer world with entertaining teams and players.

The on-field success of Dutch soccer is mirrored by the world-renowned KNVB coaching Academy. At its foundation stands Rinus Michels, the man who "invented" Total Soccer in the '70s. His ideas are the basis of this camp. Small Nation, Great soccer vision The Netherlands is small in size, but Dutch soccer is famous around the world.

  • Number #9 in the TDF Top 50
    From being a small boy, I have always been a huge fan of both football and professional wrestling and at around the age of 10-years-old, I came across a monthly magazine brought to newsagents from the makers of the world famous Sports Illustrated all about pro wrestling. It was simply named Pro Wrestling Illustrated. It was a publication I regularly read as well as Shoot and Match weekly magazines to feed my football addiction. In 1991, PWI began this new craze that instantly grabbed my attention more than no other magazine had before. They revealed the 'PWI 500'. The 'PWI 500' section in the magazine listed (in rank order) the top 500 professional wrestlers in the world that year. Counting down from 500, this revealed to me many, many talents that I have not discovered as of yet. This was released every year, and still to this day is the best selling edition of the magazine each year. I studied and read and read over and over again that edition in 1991 and I came up with an idea. What if Match or Shoot revealed the top 500 footballers in the world? Thinking back to 1991, I used to love to tune into the 'BBC Radio 1 Top 40' show every Sunday afternoon too... maybe I'm a tad obsessed with countdowns. Anyways, reflecting on the idea, I thought about it each year the 'PWI 500' was released. As years went on, I felt that this would have grown into a hugely successful plan, gaining great recognition with people in the game, possibly gained its own award ceremony on TV with the emergence and exposure SKY Television in the United Kingdom was just beginning to give to the game back then.

ISSN: 1989-6379 Fecha de recepción: 05-08-2011, Fecha de aceptación: 17-08-2011. URL: https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2011/09/johan-cruyff-amsterdan-holanda-1947/ Resumen Date : 1 septiembre 2011 Josep Samitier fue el primer crack mediático del Barça, justo cuando el fútbol empezaba a convertirse en un espectáculo y una pasión de masas. Ladislao Kubala fue el sueño dorado que ayudó a sobrellevar una espantosa postguerra, en la que escaseaba todo excepto la ilusión, y su descomunal talento dejó chico Les Corts y obligó a construir un teatro a escala de su arte, el Camp Nou. Johan Cruyff, finalmente, llegó en 1973 a un club con complejo de perdedor que arrastraba inquietantes tics victimistas, y con su sola presencia insufló las dosis de autoestima y calidad suficientes como para volver a ganar una liga, catorce años después del último título. La recuperación, sin embargo, fue flor de un día, pero cuando el astro holandés regresó a la Ciudad Condal a finales de la década de los 80, a un Barça institucional y deportivamente hundido, acertó a imprimirle un estilo y una filosofía de los que aun se alimentan los grandes éxitos actuales. Pudo cambiar la cara del Club en los años 70 - todo quedó entonces en un amago -, mas en su retorno como entrenador sí que le mudó la faz, y de qué manera... Johannes Hendryk Cruyff es un hijo de la postguerra holandesa.

Is daar dan verschil tussen? Jazeker, een vakbond behartigt als eerste de belangen van haar leden. Een vakvereniging gaat het er in de eerste plaats om de kwaliteit van het voetbal te verhogen. Het lijkt een detail, maar het is uitermate belangrijk bij discussies met andere entiteiten in het Betaald Voetbal. Door deze stelling wordt vastgesteld dat het voetbal in zijn totaliteit belangrijker is dan de individuele belangen van spelers, trainers, scheidsrechters en andere professionals. Natuurlijk is het ook zo, dat wanneer het goed gaat met het Nederlandse voetbal, het ook goed gaat met alle mensen die in de voetballerij werkzaam zijn. Dan is er voldoende werkgelegenheid en veel vraag naar in Nederland opgeleide Trainer/coaches. Naast het verhogen van de kwaliteit van het voetbal heeft de CBV nog twee doelstellingen. Het behartigen van de belangen van haar leden en het vergroten van het imago van het vak Trainer/coach. Dat vele Trainer/coaches het daarmee eens zijn wordt bevestigd door het ledenaantal van de CBV. Meer dan 400 Trainer/coaches, allen werkzaam in het Betaald Voetbal in Nederland of in het buitenland zijn lid van de CBV. Dat is een score van ruim 98%, een percentage om zeer trots op te zijn! Het CBV-kantoor is gevestigd in Zwolle.
