🚨 Pep Guardiola on Jurgen Klopp’s embrace with Florian Wirtz:
“After the game, Jurgen walks onto the pitch, sees Florian and hugs him like he hasn’t seen the boy in five years. (laughs)
People see a nice moment.
I see a problem.
Because I spent years competing against this man.
I know what happens next.
One day at City, one of my staff showed me footage from Liverpool training. Klopp was laughing with the players, grabbing somebody around the neck, hugging another one.
I said:
‘Turn it off.’
He asked, ‘Why?’
I said, ‘Because on Sunday these same people are going to run at us like we’ve insulted their families.’
That’s Jurgen.
People talk about tactics, pressing, intensity.
Of course.
But before players run for your tactics, they have to want to run for you.
Look at Florian tonight.
He’s had difficult weeks. Jurgen gives him responsibility, he plays beautifully, scores, and after the final whistle the manager doesn’t walk over like, ‘Good performance, see you tomorrow.’
He grabs him.
No cameras needed. No speech.
Just: ‘That’s my boy.’
And now you’ve created a monster. (laughs)
Because the next time Jurgen asks Florian to press somebody for 90 minutes, Florian isn’t thinking about pressing.
He’s thinking:
‘This man believes in me.’
That’s how Klopp creates warriors.
I used to prepare City to play Liverpool and tell my players:
‘Be careful. You’re not only playing eleven footballers.’
They’d ask, ‘What else are we playing?’
I’d say:
‘Eleven footballers who don’t want to disappoint Jurgen Klopp.’
Tactics can prepare you for the first problem.
I never found a tactical solution for the second one.”

Professional racing driver Ollie Millroy thanks competitor Loek Hartog for saving his life after getting into a fiery crash over the weekend in China.
Millroy says he'd be dead if Hartog hadn't jumped out of his car to pull him out of his burning car.
"I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man. Loek Hartog stopped instantly with no flag marshalls or fire crews in sight, and risked his own life to get me out of the car."
"I don’t remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life..."
"I’m laying here tonight with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken hand and finger and a bruised lung, but it could have been much worse."
"Thank you Loek. I owe you my life for your selfless act today."

831 當晚,家住港島的李小姐 (化名),約了朋友於她家附近的一間餐館吃晚飯。在前往餐館途中,她們遇上了兩個身穿示威者裝束的年青人...... 其實是十幾歲的孩子,當中一個向她問道:「請問港鐵站喺邊?」
這樣一問,李小姐呆了呆,然後指一指正確的方向,但她還是放心不下,於是問他們吃過飯沒有,並建議大家不如一起吃晚飯,兩個孩子猶疑了好一會,然後接納了李小姐的建議,幾個人就這樣結隊上餐館去。
進入餐館前,李小姐跟他們說:「不如你哋除低身上啲 gear 先,費事咁張揚,同埋唔好嚇親其他食客。」語畢,他們立即把裝備脫下,放入背囊,然後進入餐館。這家餐館不大,老闆和很多食客都稔熟,屬於人情味濃的小店,而且貼滿了反送中的標語,立場鮮明,所以李小姐才會建議一同到這裡用膳。
點餐的時候,老闆親自落單,而李小姐表明,這頓飯由她結賬,著孩子們不用客氣。話雖如此,孩子們還是相當害羞,只點了很少食物,老闆看在眼裡,感到不是味兒,然後對他們說:「即管叫嘢食,唔使佢請,呢餐我嘅!」孩子們連聲道謝。
席間,孩子們慢慢放下戒心,李小姐可以從交談中得知他們今年十四歲,住在將軍澳,當中有人從未踏足港島。
十四歲,自己從未到過港島區的孩子,在暑假完結前從老遠跑出來為香港抗爭,而他們連回家的路也找不到......「請問港鐵站喺邊?」一個看似簡單的問題,有誰聽了不心痛?
吃了一會,其中一位孩子說,他們還有朋友在外,問李小姐可否讓他們在店裡會合,李小姐說當然沒有問題,並叫他們在此吃過飯才一起回家。過了一會,孩子們的朋友到達 - 兩個 full gear 的孩子,其中一個仍手執鐵通...... 全店的人呆了,然後老闆叫他們坐下來吃東西。
飯後,孩子們再次道謝,老闆說幫他們 call 車,並叫他們把所有裝備留低,免得他們在回家途中發生任何狀況。他們最初不肯放棄裝備...... 是的,對於沒有收入的孩子來說,裝備就是他們的身家性命財產,而且他們自己也不知道下次何時才會來到港島,所以拒絕了老闆的要求,但老闆仍然堅持:「我俾錢你哋,你哋第時再買過...... 我唔想你哋喺我呢度食完飯之後出事!」
老闆這樣說,孩子們再沒有推搪的理由,就這樣接受了眾人的好意,平平安安回家去。

Keanu Reeves a fêté ses 62 ans le 2 septembre 2026.
Sandra Bullock, sa partenaire dans le film Speed, dit de lui :
« Son père l’a abandonné lorsqu’il avait trois ans, sa fille est morte à l’âge de huit mois, sa compagne est décédée dans un accident de voiture, son meilleur ami a succombé à une overdose… Et malgré tout cela, il n’a jamais perdu sa lumière, son monde ne s’est jamais effondré.
Lors du tournage de The Lake House, il a surpris une conversation entre deux assistants : une femme en pleurs expliquait qu’elle risquait de perdre sa maison si elle ne payait pas 20 000 dollars. Keanu a aussitôt transféré l’argent sur son compte.
Avec les gains de la trilogie Matrix, il a offert plusieurs millions de dollars à l’équipe des effets spéciaux, qu’il considérait comme les véritables héros du film.
Refusant de recourir aux cascadeurs sauf pour les scènes les plus dangereuses, il a remercié chacun de ces “héros” en leur offrant une moto Harley-Davidson.
Aujourd’hui encore, il se déplace en métro ou en bus quand c’est plus pratique, sans jamais éprouver de honte.
De nombreux hôpitaux affirment avoir reçu des dizaines de millions de dollars de sa part. Pour certains films, il a accepté de renoncer à 90 % de son salaire afin de permettre à la production d’embaucher d’autres acteurs.
En 1997, un paparazzi l’a surpris assis dans la rue à côté d’un sans-abri, partageant son petit-déjeuner et écoutant son histoire.
Tout ce que nous savons de Keanu Reeves, ce n’est pas lui qui nous l’a dit, mais les personnes qui ont bénéficié de son aide et de sa générosité. Il n’a jamais cherché à en parler.
Malgré toutes les épreuves qu’il a traversées, il aurait pu adopter une vision sombre et désespérée de la vie. Mais non : il a choisi de rester un homme bon, dans un monde qui ne l’est pas toujours. »
Plus qu’un acteur talentueux, Keanu Reeves est un véritable modèle d’humilité et de générosité ❤️🙏
Joshua Wong and the death of justice in Hong Kong: The vindictive persecution, imprisonment, manipulative Communist show trial of Joshua Wong, and other pro democracy advocates, make a mockery of justice.
The trials are designed to try and silence, intimidate, terrify opponents; to entrench totalitarian ideology; to close down debate about the CCP dictatorship.
These show trials come straight out of Stalin’s macabre playbook, which he bequeathed to Mao and other imitators.
Defendants are invariably made to publicly confess to absurd, trumped up, charges of treason, to foreign collusion, to spying, to sabotage, and to undermining the state.
This grotesque charade, masquerading as justice, has involved psychological and physical torture and threats to prisoners’ families.
Death in prison, or execution, has often followed.
What is happening today at the hands of the CCP has all the same hallmarks and is from the same playbook. Ask Jimmy Lai.
That any British judge would continue to give this a scintilla of respectability simply beggars belief. It is an affront to justice.
It was why our celebrated jurist, Lord Jonathan Sumption, resigned as a non-permanent judge on Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal, rightly remarking that “a once a vibrant and politically diverse community, is slowly becoming a totalitarian state"
Joshua Wong’s latest trial underlines the accuracy of Lord Sumption ‘s judgement.
The probability of life imprisonment for Joshua , imposed by a corrupted system and a CCP National Security Law, is a total travesty.
It once again illustrates why the UK and other democracies must stand with the people of Hong Kong and China - and not with the tyrannical system which imprisons them. @hk_watch@SecRubio@HumanRightsCtte@CommonsSpeaker@LordSpeaker@UKHouseofLords@CommonsSpeaker@StewartWood@TomTugendhat@aliciakearns@SarahChampionMP@timfarron@HelenaKennedyKC@Nus_Ghani@CharlesHMoore
馮晞乾的十三維度:黃之鋒犯了什麼罪?
被控「勾結境外勢力」制裁中国及香港的黃之鋒,昨天出庭時認了罪。若被法庭裁定「罪行重大」,或面��十年以上監禁。廿九歲的黃,從未殺人放火偷呃拐騙,卻因子虛烏有的罪名被關押逾2100天。稍有血性的人,都應該為其冤屈而憤慨。可今天看到資深大律師湯家驊的評論,比較本案及英國前陣子審結的特區經貿辦間諜案,卻似乎認為黃之鋒罪有應得。
湯大狀在社交平台發文稱,外國記者問他,黃之鋒勾結境外勢力有多嚴重?湯寫道:
「我回答說,每個國家或地區面對國家安全的威脅也不同,但我留意到英國法院最近引用英國國安法把一名特區經貿辦成員判監八年。在此案中被告所涉行為若屬實也只是威脅特區逃英人士的個人權利,卻被指是『危害』英國安全。由此可見,法庭視勾結境外勢力或接受境外勢力指示威脅國家安全為嚴重犯罪行為。在特區經貿辦一案中涉及的只是個人權利,而黄之鋒涉及的卻是威脅整個國家之安全,實不能同日而語。」
隨後他總結一句:「若論國安法之『廣泛』性,特區國安法更遠遠不及英國國安法,所以西方傳媒不用大驚小怪,大做文章。」堂堂資深大律師,公然作出這種偷換概念、似是而非的論證,實在令人不齒。
英國法院判刑的特區經貿辦間謀案,定罪關鍵在於兩名被告協助外國情報機關進行間諜活動,罪證確鑿,其中一人(即衛志樑)還擅自入侵英國內政部電腦系統,非法蒐集在英港人的個人資料,多犯一條公職人員行為失當罪。這樣的罪行,在任何開明的民主國家,也會被視為危害國家安全罪,但湯家驊卻說,兩人「只是」威脅特區逃英人士的個人權利,無關英國國家安全,合理嗎?
關於「國家安全」定義,我以前早已寫過,無獨有偶,當時同樣是回應湯家驊的謬論。在〈答一答湯家驊的低端問題〉中,我指出《英國國安法》不單保障英國首相、高官等人的權利,也保障英國任何平民行使《英國人權法》列明的各種基本人權,包括言論自由、選舉自由、集會自由、財產保障等。如果有人為了協助外國情報機關,非法侵犯英國某些人的個人權利,那當然屬於國安範疇的罪行。
湯家驊之所以認為特區經貿辦案兩名笨諜的行為不涉英國國安,是因為他以中国(包括港共政府)的「国安法」概念來理解英國國安法。在中共「国安法」裏,人民什麼也不是,唯有高高在上的政權才需保護,国安即黨安,一個權貴小圈��就自命「整個國家」。但在英國這類民主國家,人民才是國家之本,就算只是匹夫匹婦的權利受侵害,一旦牽涉外國勢力干預,也屬於國家安全問題。
那麼以西方民主國家的法律標準來說,黃之鋒所做的事——游說外國政府制裁中港官員、呼籲禁售武器及人群管制設備予香港警察——又有沒有罪呢?我不妨用一個例子作答。2020年,美國黑人George Floyd遭暴力執法的美國警察殺害後,全美有色人種協進會(NAACP)曾發出一份聲明,公開呼籲聯合國進一步介入,把美國警方的惡行定性為侵犯人權,並要求聯合國譴責美國政府,甚至在必要時實施制裁:
“The NAACP is calling on the United Nations to step up and classify the mistreatment of black people in the U.S. by police as a human rights violation, aggressively call out the U.S. government in the process, and impose sanctions if necessary.”
全國有色人種協進會所做的,跟黃之鋒、羅冠聰等人沒什麼分別。按照湯家驊的邏輯或中共「国安法」準則,這個全國有色人種協進會已嚴重危害國安,理應像香港支聯會那樣被抄家滅族,對不對?但抱歉,在西方文明國家,這類公開呼籲就算是針對本國政府官員,也是言論自由一部分,受真正以民為本的憲法所保障,所以NAACP至今仍然健在,沒有任何人因此被關進牢獄超過2100天。
從這個角度看,西方傳媒大篇幅報道黃之鋒案、各國人權組織為他抱不平,根本是理所當然的事,決非像湯家驊所謂的「大驚小怪,大做文章」。黃之鋒這次認罪,任何人都明白,那是無可奈何的事。香港「国安法」是沒有民意基礎、未經立法會審議通過的「法律」,就算裏頭寫上「提及小熊維���」也算是「顛覆国家罪」,香港法庭也要照單全收。討論黃之鋒犯什麼罪,其實沒有意義。極權社會的常見現象就是:犯「法」不等於犯罪,沒犯罪的人也常常被定罪,或被迫認罪。
