Das Manchester-Derby zwischen United und City gilt als eines der bedeutendsten Spiele der Welt, die Rivalität zwischen den Klubs ist riesig. In dieser Saison ging es um besonders viel, beide Teams stecken in der Krise, brauchten einen Befreiungsschlag.
Und heraus kam: so gut wie nichts …
Nach einem weitestgehend blutleeren Auftritt beider Mannschaften endete das Spiel mit ganz wenigen Höhepunkten folgerichtig mit 0:0. Hilft weder City im Kampf um die Champions-League-Quali noch United im Kampf um – ja, was eigentlich? Das Team von Ruben Amorim ist 13., nach oben und unten geht nichts mehr. Da wäre ein Derby-Sieg eine schöne Gelegenheit gewesen, um Kredit bei den Fans zurückzugewinnen.
Pool-Video statt Länderspiel: Hier plantscht Alisha Lehmann ihren Frust weg
Entsprechend angefressen waren die TV-Experten, die beiden United-Legenden Gary Neville und Roy Keane. Neville haderte mit dem Einsatz beider Teams, sagte: „Es ist das Manchester-Derby. Es war ein bisschen wie ein Freundschaftsspiel. Es ist, als ob wir im Fußball an einem Punkt angelangt sind, an dem sich die Mannschaften zu Tode fürchten, den Ball abzugeben. Jeder ist so besessen von seinem System, dass in vielen Spielen überhaupt nichts mehr passiert. Das muss aufhören!“
Neville weiter: „Das Aufregende und Schöne an der Premier League ist der Druck, die Energie und die Spannung, und das war hier ein bisschen anders. Die ersten 45 Minuten waren eine einzige Katastrophe. Das ist von beiden Mannschaften nicht gut genug.“
[–>Keane meinte: „Ich schaue mir die beiden Mannschaften an und denke, dass sie offensichtlich nur den Ballbesitz dominieren wollen. (…) Es war ein Derby, und im Stadion ist keine Energie zu spüren. Die Spieler müssen etwas leisten. Ich kann das nicht glauben – das ist ein Freundschaftsderby.“
Und weiter: „Ich habe vor Jahren gegen City gespielt, als sie noch keine große Mannschaft waren, aber sie haben sich ins Zeug gelegt und ein Derby daraus gemacht. Heute hat es einfach nicht mehr diese Brisanz.“

FOX Broadcast Booth Relives 15-Inning ALDS Instant Classic: ‘I Wanted It to Keep Going’
What’s it like to call the longest winner-take-all game in MLB postseason history? It's a booth where nobody moves for 15 innings, nobody even dares go to the bathroom. And you never quite know when someone is going to scream "BUNT!"I caught up with FOX Sports broadcasters Adam Amin, A.J. Pierzynski and Adam Wainwright on Saturday morning after the Mariners’ 3-2 win against the Tigers in the deciding Game 5 of the American League Division Series, a 15-inning marathon that led to a missed flight, a chance encounter with a Mariners legend and some special messages for the crew. Here’s what they had to say.(Questions and answers may be edited for brevity and clarity.) Have you guys had a second to breathe or at least and think, ‘I just got to call one of the more memorable games in recent MLB history?’Amin: I […]
The death of Mark Townsend at Hillsborough: What we learned from the inquest
On September 28 last year, West Bromwich Albion fan Mark Townsend died after suffering a cardiac arrest at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium.Immediately, concerns were raised about the quality of care he received in the aftermath of the incident. “I want the truth to be out,” Mark’s brother, Steve Townsend, told The Athletic last month, ahead of a two-week inquest into the circumstances surrounding the 57-year-old’s death.AdvertisementAfter hearing seven days of evidence, Senior Coroner for South Yorkshire Tanyka Rawden concluded that, though Mark’s cardiac arrest was on the balance of probabilities “unsurvivable”, a lack of ventilation and drugs for over 15 minutes following his collapse was “contributory” to his death.Rawden was critical of the decision to involve both private contractor Lambda Medical and Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) in providing Mark’s care.She described “confusion” between the two agencies, while acknowledging that this “did not […]

Can Premier League’s silent decision-makers learn from Bundesliga sporting directors?
The Premier League creates noise. It provokes comment, analysis, quotes and opinions from fans, journalists, coaches and sometimes even club owners.It’s strange, then, that the quietest community within English football consists of its decision-makers — the sporting directors and transfer gurus, people whose names are well-known but whose voices are less so.AdvertisementMore curious still, that this should be the case during the game’s capitalist age. In the summer transfer window that just closed, Premier League clubs spent a combined £3.11billion ($4.bn) on new players. The market has become a source of unending fascination. And yet those who determine its direction, who are in charge of transfer strategy, rarely speak about the teams they build or defend the sporting departments they run.When a signing fails, or a club finds themselves a midfielder short in November, it is the manager or head […]

Shohei Ohtani needs a ‘recalibration’ for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS
There is no overstating Shohei Ohtani’s importance to the Los Angeles Dodgers. So it was notable that they reached the National League Championship Series despite getting little offensively from the soon-to-be four-time NL MVP.Ohtani was the focus of every plan of attack for the Philadelphia Phillies, who deployed one left-handed pitcher after another in the National League Division Series. Ohtani had one hit and struck out nine times in 18 at-bats, with 16 of his 20 plate appearances coming against lefties.AdvertisementThe Dodgers, who won the series 3 games to 1, probably won’t face as many lefties in the NLCS, but manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani must adjust.“We’re not gonna win the World Series with that sort of performance,” Roberts said Saturday.The Phillies jammed Ohtani on the inner part of the plate with fastballs, making it impossible for him to extend […]
