Damit war nicht zu rechnen …
City-Star Kyle Walker (34), der momentan an die AC Mailand ausgeliehen ist, erzählt in seinem eigenen Podcast nun, wer sein härtester Gegenspieler war – und sorgt mit seiner Aussage bei vielen für eine Überraschung.
Der Rechtsverteidiger, der 2023 die Champions League gewann, nennt nämlich den ehemaligen Profi von Manchester City Samir Nasri (37)!
[–>Walker: „Die Leute werden Mbappé, Mané, Neymar oder Vinícius nennen, diese Art von Spielern, aber ich habe es gehasst, gegen City zu spielen, als ich bei Tottenham war und Nasri dort spielte.“
Der Franzose, der bei Olympique Marseille ausgebildet wurde, kam 2011 für 27,5 Mio. Euro von Arsenal zu den Cityzens. Bis zu seinem endgültigen Abschied im Sommer 2017 erzielte er insgesamt 27 Treffer in 176 Pflichtspielen und steuerte obendrein noch 29 Torvorlagen bei. Ein Jahr später wurde er nach einem Dopingvergehen längere Zeit gesperrt.
Nasri erklärte damals: „Es war eine Vitamininjektion, weil ich krank war. Ich fand das mehr als unfair, ich nahm nie irgendwelche Drogen.“
Samir Nasri (37) kickte in der Vergangenheit auch für West Ham
<!–>
An frühere Zeiten konnte Nasri zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht mehr anknüpfen. Nach Stationen bei West Ham United und dem RSC Anderlecht, beendete der 41-malige französische Nationalspieler 2021 seine Karriere.
Walker erinnert sich im Podcast noch immer an die Zeit, als Nasri glänzte: „Er stand immer in Räumen, wo du als jüngerer Spieler wie ich damals überlegst: ‘Soll ich da hin und ihm folgen, oder soll ich ihn stehen lassen?’ Und dann kam plötzlich Gaël Clichy daher und hat mich überlaufen.“
„Ungerechte Entscheidungen: Flick-Wut nach dem Inter-Spektakel
Beim AC Mailand kam Walker in dieser Saison bislang in 34 Partien zum Einsatz. Sein Vertrag läuft im Juni aus. Die Rossoneri besitzen eine Kaufoption, können den Engländer Berichten zufolge für 5 Mio. fest verpflichten.
Ob die Italiener die Klausel ziehen, ist bislang noch nicht abschließend geklärt.

Na soupisce reprezentace je zatím jen osm útočníků, Nečas už dorazil do Dánska
Herning (Od našich zpravodajů) - Zatím je na soupisce pouze osm útočníků, nicméně je vysoce pravděpodobné, že minimálně další čtyři národní tým ještě před zápasem se Švýcarskem dopíše. Určitě mezi nimi bude Martin Nečas, který ve čtvrtek odpoledne odpoledne přiletěl ze zámoří na letiště do Billundu, kde už na něj čekal generální manažer reprezentace Jiří Šlégr a společně se pak vydali na zhruba půlhodinovou cestu autem za zbytkem mužstva.Pokud se Nečas bude cítit dobře a nebude unaven po dlouhém cestování, naskočí už do pátečního úvodního zápasu MS se Švýcary. „Když bude chtít hrát, tak bude. Pokud ne, nenastoupí,“ prohlásil jeden z asistentů trenéra Rulíka Tomáš Plekanec.Připravujeme podrobnosti.

College basketball players out of eligibility are entering the transfer portal — why?
Of the thousands of college basketball players who entered the transfer portal this spring, at least 137 of them stand out because of one thing they’re all lacking: remaining college eligibility.Take star College of Charleston center Ante Brzovic, for example. The Croatian-born big man moved to America in 2020 and enrolled at Division II Southeastern Oklahoma State University. He redshirted his first season when he wasn’t academically eligible because he barely spoke English. He then played in 28 games the following season before transferring to Charleston, where he became a three-year starter and first-team all-conference honoree. That’s four full seasons of NCAA competition — which, under conventional rules, would normally mean Brzovic is out of eligibility.AdvertisementInstead? Brzovic and his legal team are suing the NCAA for another season of eligibility, after his initial waiver request was denied on April 1. […]
