Za ironii osudu se dá pak hladce považovat, že Leicester koučuje Ruud van Nistelrooy. Ano, ten urostlý útočník, postrach obran v prvním desetiletí nového milénia, který považoval střílení branek za naprostou rutinu.
Jenže jeho svěřenci doma neskórovali v devíti po sobě jdoucích utkáních. To se v historii anglické nejvyšší soutěže, která se hraje od roku 1888, ještě nestalo. Nikomu. Nikdy. Za celých 137 let.
Leicester City are the first side in top-flight history to go nine consecutive home games without scoring a goal.

„Neexistují slova, která by vyjádřila mé pocity ohledně této sezony. Nemáme se na co vymlouvat. Ztrapnili jsme se, ohromně to bolí. Fanoušci, omlouváme se. Za to, že naše výkony prostě nebyly dobré,“ čertila se klubová legenda Jamie Vardy, která klubu v roce 2016 senzačně vystřílela ligový titul a odehrála za něj téměř 500 utkání.

Hodně slabou útěchou pro fandy, kteří se doma v Premier League nedočkali jediného gólu za čtyři měsíce, mohl být lednový mač FA Cupu proti druholigovému QPR. Leicester v zápase rozhodně nevypadal jako soubor, jemuž by posílání balonu do sítě dělalo problém. Vždyť před očima svých příznivců zvítězil 6:2!
Jenže to byly dosud poslední branky, které příznivci Leicesteru na svém stánku slavili. A nebyly ligové. Takže střelecká nemohoucnost v nejvyšší vskutku platí za rekordní zápis. Mančafty, které bojují o záchranu, přitom potřebují sbírat body právě doma.
To se bez gólů dělá těžko.
„Za výsledky na sebe beru plnou zodpovědnost. Teď musíme využít čas, který zbývá do konce ročníku, abychom se připravili na ten další,“ velí van Nistelrooy.
Možná ho mrzí, že se v posledních měsících na hrot útoku nepostavil sám. Horší už by to, minimálně na domácím hřišti, být nemohlo…

Palmeiras tem Mundial?
"O Palmeiras não tem Mundial” se tornou um dos maiores memes de gozações entre torcedores no Brasil. Sou palmeirense fanático e sempre levei na brincadeira. Além disso, temos o argumento do título da Copa Rio em 1951. Esta coluna de estreia para a cobertura da Copa do Mundo de Clubes, no entanto, não buscará defender a importância daquela conquista. Já há suficientes reportagens sobre o tema. Vou explicar, na verdade, o motivo de o alviverde ser o alvo dessa gozação. Afinal, quase ninguém fala que Fluminense, Botafogo e Vasco, todos tão grandiosos quanto o Palmeiras, não têm Mundial. Para entender, precisamos observar a rivalidade do Trio de Ferro em São Paulo. Sim, há o quarto grande, o Santos, mas fica fora da capital e ocupa prateleira diferente por ter sido o time de Pelé. A disputa fica mesmo entre os […]
