Ivan Rakitic, exfutbolista de Sevilla (2011-14 y 2020-24) y F.C. Barcelona (2014-20), está viviendo una segunda juventud futbolística a sus 37 años en el Hajduk Split de Croacia tras jugar en el Al-Shabab Club de Arabia Saudita.
Estuve tres o cuatro veces a punto de fichar por el Atlético de Madrid… Una de esas veces el fichaje estuvo cerrado
El centrocampista croata anunció junto a Juanma Castaño su nueva faceta como comentarista del programa ‘Tiempo de Juego’ de la Cadena COPE.
Me da muchísima pena lo de Xavi Hernández porque era el entrenador perfecto para el Barcelona
“Intentaré ser sincero y claro, ojalá poder disfrutarlo y dar a todos los oyentes una experiencia diferente de lo que sentimos nosotros en el campo… Intentaré ser yo mismo, me encanta el fútbol y estoy muy ilusionado”, compartió el de Rheinfelden (Suiza).
Ivan Rakitic, nuevo comentarista de Tiempo de Juego: “Ojalá dar a todos los oyentes una experiencia diferente”
“Será más fácil comentar a los jugadores con los que coincidí porque me van a tener que perdonar”, apuntó.
Rakitic aconseja al Real Madrid sobre el futuro de Modric: “Es una locura cómo está Luka”
“No sé qué pasará con Modric y ni le quise preguntar. Le he visto disfrutar muchísimo; le vi en un entrenamiento y es una locura cómo está. Él puede y el Real Madrid todavía necesita a Luka”.
Las confesiones de Rakitic desde su nueva vida: el mayor error de Xavi en el Barça y su no fichaje por el Atlético
Rakitic aclara sus no fichajes por el Atlético de Madrid
“Estuve tres o cuatro veces a punto de fichar por el Atlético de Madrid”.
“Una de esas veces el fichaje estaba cerrado”.
“Hablamos muchas veces, y cuando me fui al Barcelona también estuvimos en contacto”.
“Pero cuando tuve la oportunidad del Barça, decidí irme al Barcelona… Con el Atlético estuvo casi cerrado”.
Rakitic apunta a la causa por la que Xavi no triunfó como entrenador del Barcelona
“¿Qué falló en lo de mi amigo Xavi Hernández como entrenador del Barça? Me da muchísima pena lo de Xavi Hernández porque era el entrenador perfecto para el Barcelona. No se podía tener entrenador mejor, porque conocía la casa como nadie y por sus ideas de fútbol”.
“Lo que le faltaron a Xavi como entrenador del Barcelona fueron el momento y las circunstancias, en general. Creo que no era fácil”.
“Creo que el momento no le ayudó mucho y a veces se toman decisiones un poquito en caliente.
“Y me ha dado muchísima pena porque ya a Xavi Hernández lo veía muchísimos años en el Barça”.
Ivan Rakitic destaca a Mbappé y Lamine Yamal “por encima” del resto
“No veo ningún jugador que puede comer en otra mesa. Los dos están un poquito por encima. Lamine me encanta porque tiene una inteligencia futbolística espectacular. Cuando hablé con Xavi sobre él me dijo que es muy inteligente, que sabe cuándo tiene que parar y dar una vuelta más; y eso no es fácil con su edad. Soy muy fan de Dani Olmo porque es muy completo, está en todos lados. Pero es lógico hablar de Mbappé y Lamine. Ahora queda lo más bonito y los grandes jugadores están para ese momento”.
Las confesiones de Rakitic desde su nueva vida: el mayor error de Xavi en el Barça y su no fichaje por el Atlético
Ivan Rakitic “Pedri no me sorprende porque lo he disfrutado y lo he sufrido”
“Pedri no me sorprende porque lo he disfrutado y lo he sufrido. Le sale por su buen posicionamiento y además las piernas le funcionan, le van solas; y tiene confianza. Pedri es un espejo de un gran Barcelona”.
“El F.C. Barcelona tiene un equipo muy joven y no necesitan presión, que ya la tienen por estar en el Barça. La afición puede hablar de ello pero seguro que el míster lo va a controlar y llegar bien a mayo. Todo lo que se hable de más antes, es meter presión. Que los chicos disfruten, que hagan lo que están haciendo hasta ahora”.

Jeden z nejbohatších Čechů koupil slavnou českou sportovní značku před šestnácti měsíci. Až dosud se mohl radovat jen z dílčích úspěchů. Po sobotní demolici Olomouce 5:0 má jistotu, že jeho tým už čtyři kola před koncem ligové nadstavby nikdo v tabulce nepředstihne.Slavia slaví první trofej v Tykačově éře!„Je to titul, který patří novému majiteli Pavlu Tykačkovi,“ připomněl v televizním rozhovoru i šéf Tvrdík. A pak pokračoval: „Přeju ho i zaměstnancům, hráčům a fanouškům, pro které to děláme.“Slavia se na tuzemský trůn vrací po čtyřech letech. V mezidobí jeden titul vyhrála Plzeň, předchozí dvě sezony lize vládla Sparta.„V posledních letech jsme byli druzí, ale fotbal dělají vítězství a tituly,“ vyprávěl dál Tvrdík. Konkurence ale v aktuální sezoně neměla na sešívanou armádu nárok. Slavia většinu ročníku držela luxusní náskok. „Fotbal mě naučil pokoře. Každý může ohrozit každého.

Shedeur Sanders reacts to getting picked by Browns: ‘Thank you for giving me a chance’
Getty Images Shedeur Sanders continued to wait for his name to be called well into Day 3 of the NFL Draft. When the Cleveland Browns selected Sanders with the No. 144 pick, Sanders couldn't contain his excitement. "Thank you everybody for all the support," Sanders said.

You gonna stay positive and stay happy at all times. Know God got you. I knew God had me." Sanders, who was largely projected a first-round pick in the days leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, stayed positive despite his continued wait. After two quarterbacks were taken in the first round (Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart), three more quarterbacks (Tyler Shough, Jalen […]
