Many players have raised the World Cup over their heads. Less common, however, are those who have resorted to innovation to surprise their opponents and win it. Philipp Lahm and Xavi Alonso belong to this category. The Bavarian, the captain of the German championship in 2014, traveled to Madrid to visit Basque, a champion of Spain in 2010. At the table, the two speak to El Pais and Zuddjoke Zeitung about the beginning of the World Cup in Russia, and about the ideas that transformed the football game in the course of the new century.
- Mr Lahm, Germany wants to host Euro 2024, and you said that this forum is very important to the community. Does your country really need anything like this?
- Philipp Lahm (FR): A society has never evolved only with progress, progress and progress. Remember the times before World Cup 2006:We had problems in the first years of the Big Coalition with ubiquitous unemployment and strikes, but the World Cup united us. Such for ums make people talk again. Football unites. The stadium is the only place where it does not matter who is sitting next to you. The president of a big company can be a neighbor of the rostrum worker. At the stadium, in the fan clubs, in the salons, in the grill bars -;such a tournament makes people communicate. We have 27, 000 clubs predicted by buy over under picks in Germany and almost all of their employees work for no money, so a forum can be motivation for them as well. I know it from my mother who works at the lower age levels at FT Gerne. In the end, these are just the people who pass the values of the young.
`I remember that at the 2006 World Cup there were political demonstrations of the ultra-low, according to which players without deep German roots should not play for the national team. Ten years have passed and this team has become a multicultural blend, but at the s ame time retaining the distinctive German character and spirit. How did this process go?
- PH:These manifestations came from a very large minority of citizens. Our national team reflects the German society. One team pursues a common goal and the population can fully identify with our selection because it is a mirror of how we live, how open we are. Yes, there are undoubtedly those voices you have spoken about, but the vast majority is identified with their Deutsche Mannschaft.
- Xabi Alonso:At the 2006 World Cup, the German society was so involved in the event, not just at the stadiums, that I had never seen a similar situation on the streets anywhere else, but I was at other world championships. It was a real holiday, and in football it was the beginning of the great Germany. Then she was very close to something big on her own territory, but that team was the embrace of Brazil`s 2014 World Champion. Jurgen Klinsmann introduced major changes and the fruit was harvested ever since. With my experience since then and after my three years of living in Germany, I fully understand why this country is so important in Europe and around the world. Is not accidental -;the question is of character, of the qualities of the people. The multicultural nature of the national team is a true reflection of the multicultural nature of German society.

Known picture:Inter again wins after a reversal in WSOP
In the second consecutive Champions League game via today soccer tips Inter congratulated the three points that came after the turn. The Milan Grand Prix lagged 0:1, but quickly turned the score to 2:1 when visiting PSV Eindhoven. The same happened two weeks ago when the Nerazzur won with 2:1, but against Tottenham, then having a goal again.

Nangolan and Ikardi tried their luck, but without success. In the 21st minute Samir Handanovic showed a great reflex, killing a rickety kick. Five later, the Italians responded with a shot of Matthias Vesino, who however crossed the crossbar. Seconds later, however, the time came for the filigree. After a great multi-shot attack, Rosario with an uncompromising jump outside the penalty area opened the score for his team.

In the 44th minute, Ningollan showed a class after equalizing with a precise shot from the border of the penalty area. The Referee may, however, make a mistake in this situation.

In the 49th minute, Gaston Pereiro aimed the left stick behind Handanovich. In the 60th Inter, the captain finally got the goal.

Phoenix sacked their general manager
Phoenix Suns surprisingly sacked general manager Ryan McDonagh, although until the start of the new season in the NBA stays little more than a week. The interim president of basketball operations, James Jones and Treasury Secretary Assistant, Trevor Buckstein, will perform the duties of general manager of the Sun. Jones will take care of basketball operations and track the work of coaches, players and other team members, while Buckstein will be responsible for potential player deals. McDahan chose the first choice in this year`s drawing center, DiAndre Eaton, to whom many specialists anticipate a glamorous future in the NBA, and in pre-season preparation so far, 20th-year talent from the Bahamas is promising. In addition, Phoenix chose this summer the 22-year-old Mikal Bridges (SG / SF) who became champion at the college championship by blog of sport predictions this summer. Mikal Bridges was elected to No. 10 after the Philadelphia Sweatsh with the Philadelphia Sweatshields had their No. 16 choosing (Zhaire Smith) on the night of the Suns, plus the team`s choice in the first round of Miami Heat`s 2021 draft for the `Peak`10. By the end of the summer, McDanah had won a $ 15 million contract for a year, Trevor Ariza, and signed a new five-year contract worth $ 158 million with Devin Booker`s big star. In addition, Phoenix made a deal with Houston Rockets, with Marquese Chris and Brandon Knight joining Rockets, while Suns took Ryan Anderson and De`Anthony Melton. The fact that McDay now has failed to reinforce the team with an experienced and credible playmaker has probably influenced the decision to release him from the post he has occupied so far. The decision is surprising because the feeling in the NBA circles this summer seemed to be that Phoenix is on the right track with the team having talented young players with potential like Aytan, Booker, Josh Jackson and Mikal Bridges, and to them we could add the disappointing Dragan Bender in the first two seasons in the NBA, as well as the light wing TJ Warren. The first match of Phoenix in the new season is home against Dallas Mavericks on October 17th.

The perfect start of Chelsea is over
After five consecutive wins, the perfect start of the Chelsea season in the Premier League is over. This happened in the London derby with West Ham, which ended 0:0 at London Steady. The blues had an edge throughout the game, but they did not create as many positions as the cleanest ones were missed by Alvaro Morata.
So Maurizio Sarri`s team lost first points and is the second in the rankings, two of Liverpool leaders. The two teams face each other the next Saturday of Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea quickly took control of the London Stadium meeting. Maurizio Sarri`s team started organizing an attack after an attack in search of the first goal. Eden Hazard and Willian constantly created problems with the opponent`s defense. Both of them were at the heart of the best attack at the beginning of the game. The Brazilian elegantly deflected the ball to Hazard, but his shot did not hinder Fabian.
The Hammers were quite difficult to reach the `blue` door, and Arnautovic`s lack was felt because there was no one to keep the ball in the front. In the 23rd minute.
Jorginho found Giroud in a great way, but the Frenchman`s attempt to shoot volley ended with the fact that he did not hit the ball.
Pellegrini`s team, like nothing, could lead after half an hour of play. After another Felipe Anderson`s break, he found Antonio, who fired at the door. Again, the striker had an excellent opportunity later. The former Nottingham player, however, sent the ball straight to Kepa from a close distance.
Chelsea rarely threatened Fabian`s door, but at the end of the first half, Vician`s excellent centering was not detected by Kante`s head. Sarri`s team was not aggressive enough at the start of the second part, but in an hour`s play he was close to the goal. Olivier Giroud did not reach the center of his compatriot Kante, and seconds later he left the field. Alvaro Morata, who was in his place, was immediately reported with two serious misses. These were the best positions for the guests at the start of the game.
The Blues tried to push, but in the 78th minute they could easily lose in the result from contact soccer predictions as Yarmolenko made an incredible pass. The Ukrainian received a magnificent shot from SNDgrass and was completely uncovered, but his shot with his head went away from the door.
Chelsea responded with a low strike to Kante, who was not far from the target. In the last few minutes, Sarri`s team has exerted a slashing pressure. A wonderful distant blow from Ross Barkley was saved brilliantly by Fabian. In the added time, Willian was brought into the small penalty area, but he fired hard and inaccurately.

Francesco confessed that he was parting with Strootman
Roma coach Eusebio di Francesco admitted that the Italian club analyzed by contact with soccer stats is ahead of a break with Dutch midfielder Kevin Stromotman. The Jalorossi midfielder is expected to move to Marseille for the sum of 25m euros. Still, the Dutchman may fall into the group of `wolves` for the upcoming match with Atalanta.
There are currently negotiations with Olympic Marseille for the transfer of Stromatman. I will see him today and decide if he will be in the match group because the question is psychological. For me, he may be called for the upcoming match with Atalanta. Kevin is an important player, like everyone else. I`m not talking about owners. We have a lot of midfielders in Roma. I want everyone to feel significant. I will not hide the fact that negotiations are running, but decisions are taken together, Di Francesco commented.
We knew that Javier Pastore could play on the wing. I tried putting it there on Sunday and I can do it again. He is a footballer who has qualities. Ante Chorich is also one of these. It can play left and right. Justin Klovevert? It adapts best to the role of a right wing. For the time being, I see him as Deputy of Jangiz Yunder. It has quite different characteristics. It attacks better than depth, added the Italian.
Brian Cristiante arrived from a team with very good physical characteristics. We wanted it very hard because it can play both in the center and on the wing. I believe he can give us a lot. I am happy with him and what he is doing, `concluded the coach of Roma.
