Is it just me, or does inside training just feel different now?
No Mohamed at his usual spot by the coffee table at the AXA. No Robbo cracking jokes and lifting the whole room. No Ibou’s laugh echoing through the place. Jota? Oh man. Something’s missing. The soul of it feels quieter.
Change is football’s only constant, I know. New era, new faces, new stories to fall in love with. And in time this’ll feel like home again. But right now? Watching those clips hits different. Like walking into a house that’s still yours but doesn’t quite sound the same.
Guess that’s what these players meant to us. More than footballers. Family.
🧠 Di akademi Como , pemain U-10 kini tidak lagi boleh melakukan sundulan. Bahkan saat pertandingan.
Bukan karena ingin mengubah sepak bola, tetapi untuk melindungi perkembangan otak pemain muda sejak dini.
Mulai musim ini, Como menerapkan aturan heading baru secara bertahap di seluruh akademinya.
📌 Aturannya:
⚽ U-10
Tidak boleh heading saat latihan maupun pertandingan. Throw-in dan corner diganti dengan umpan menyusur tanah.
⚽ U-11
Masih tanpa heading. Teknik baru dikenalkan di akhir musim menggunakan bola yang lebih ringan.
⚽ U-12
Latihan heading maksimal 1 kali per bulan, hanya 5 sundulan per sesi.
⚽ U-13
Latihan maksimal 1 kali per minggu, tetap hanya 5 sundulan per sesi. Di pertandingan, heading masih belum diperbolehkan.
Varane, anggota Board of Education Como, menegaskan bahwa kesehatan pemain muda harus menjadi prioritas karena otak mereka masih berkembang.
Sementara itu, Osian Roberts menjelaskan bahwa berkurangnya latihan sundulan memberi lebih banyak waktu untuk mengembangkan first touch, scanning, orientasi tubuh, dan pengambilan keputusan.
Como juga akan mengatur jumlah sundulan dalam latihan, menghindari penggunaan bola yang terlalu keras, serta menyediakan panduan bagi pelatih dan orang tua.
Bukan melarang sundulan, tetapi mengajarkannya pada waktu yang tepat. Sebuah pendekatan modern yang menunjukkan bahwa membangun pemain hebat juga berarti menjaga kesehatan mereka sejak dini.

🚨Alisson Becker on Staying at Liverpool:
🗣️"There has been so much noise lately, but I wanted to clear the air myself.
I’ve seen all the stories about Saudi Arabia and Juventus, but I want to be 100% clear: these are just rumors. My focus is entirely here at Liverpool. I have a contract, I’m fit, and I’m ready to give everything for this club again this season.
I’ve heard the talk, but my heart is at Anfield. We’re in a period of transition, and I’m fully committed to being the leader this team needs between the sticks. There’s no place I’d rather be than here, playing for our fans and fighting for every trophy in front of us.
Let’s get back to work. YNWA"

Why is pork (pig) forbidden in Islam?
A proud and brilliant Jewish princess from a powerful tribe entered the grand Islamic court of Andalusia with a bold challenge:
"If anyone can give me a clear, logical reason why the pig is haram not some old story, but something my mind can accept I will recite the Shahadah right here in front of all of you!"
The court fell silent. Scholars were tense. This was no ordinary woman; she was sharp, arrogant and unmatched in debate.
Then an elderly, wise scholar stood up calmly. With a gentle smile, he asked a single question that stunned everyone:
"Princess, do you know that almost every male animal in the world protects its female with fierce jealousy? A dog, a bull, even a lion will fight to the death if another male approaches its mate. But have you ever observed the pig?"
The princess, confused, shook her head.
The scholar's voice echoed through the hall:
"The pig is the only animal on earth with no sense of honor (ghairat). It actually invites other males to mate with its own female without any anger, without any jealousy. It is the most shameless creature. It even eats its own filth."
A pin-drop silence fell over the court.
The scholar continued:
"Our Prophet PBUH taught us that the food we eat affects both our body and our soul. Nations that consume the pig gradually lose their sense of honor. They no longer feel shame in sharing their women. Look at where such societies have reached today."
The princess stood frozen. Her pride shattered. This simple yet powerful truth left her speechless. Her handkerchief slipped from her trembling hands as tears filled her eyes.
In a shaking voice, in the middle of the grand court, she declared:
"Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadar Rasulullah…"
She accepted Islam on the spot.
Modern science now confirms that pork carries over 70 harmful diseases and parasites. Yet 1400 years ago, Islam protected its followers from both physical and moral impurity by declaring it haram.
Wisdom from the beginning.

🇨🇭 Switzerland: Opponent sent off
Argentina keep getting favorable call after favorable call. 🇦🇷🤑
🇪🇬🗣️ Mostafa Ziko: "We were brilliant against the reigning world champions. But the referee, François Letexier, was definitely biased from the very start of the match.
He constantly tried to stop us and wanted to shut us down on the pitch.
Congratulations to Argentina for the World Cup; the tournament is rigged, they don’t need anything else.
The referee was unfair, unfair, unfair, unfair.” 🤯🇪🇬
🚨🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan couldn't control himself after full-time:
"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"
"And I want to say one more thing, if they want them [Argentina] to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"
Thiago speaking to @RioMeets: "Many. Many [differences between Guardiola and Klopp]. I came from Barcelona school and everything was slow-cooked. You need to set the timer, have the proper ingredients.
"And Klopp is: 'OK, open the fridge, let’s take the food out, let’s cook whatever'. The best meal you will have in your life is what we have in the fridge. Different approaches, but at the end you have a great meal."
Kalo kalian ngira foto di bawah adalah The Kop, kalian salah besar.
Gue juga baru tau, dan smua gegara si Victor Munoz.
- Osasuna tuh ternyata punya nickname Los Rojillos (The Little Reds)
- Graderio Sur, tribun selatan di Estadio El Sadar adalah tribun home supporter. The Kop di Anfield juga di sisi selatan
- Indar Gorri dari bahasa Basque, artinya Pasukan Merah adalah kelompok supporter garis keras Osasuna. Jelas adalah "penghuni" tetap Graderio Sur
- Mereka juga anti dengan banner / bendera plastik, lebih suka handmade banner. Sama kek yang ada di The Kop
- Estadio El Sadar pernah tercatat sebagai stadion paling berisik, saat pertandingan hidup mati untuk lolos degradasi vs Madrid di musim 08/09
Anfield pernah mencatatkan rekor serupa di match vs Chelsea, semifinal UCL 04/05
Kecocokan ini smoga bisa bikin Munoz tambah termotivasi kasih performa terbaiknya

Kita ngalamin yang namanya Inflasi Pendidikan.
Gelar S1 zaman now itu nilainya udah setara sama ijazah SMA zaman dulu karena hampir semua orang bisa kuliah.
Efeknya, HRD jadi kebingungan ngefilter lautan sarjana ini. Solusinya? Mereka nyiptain rintangan ala Ninja Warrior atau Hunger Games (Online Test berlapis, FGD/LGD, presentasi kasus, psikotes berjam-jam).
Proses ribet itu berevolusi bukan karena kerjaannya butuh skill yang bagus, tapi semata-mata buat nge-eliminasi ribuan kandidat dengan cepet aja. 🤓
Supply and Demand buat lapangan pekerjaan disini juga jomplang banget cik. Supply tenaga kerja di Indo kata GIBRAN membludak ruah, sedangkan lapangan kerjanya seret.
Dampaknya? Karena tahu yang butuh kerja itu ada jutaan orang, perusahaan seenaknya melempar beban biaya penyeleksian ke pelamar. 👹
Kalo dibandingin di US atau di Eropa mah proses rekrutmen rata-rata straight to the point. Kirim CV/Resume - Screening (via telepon) - Interview (1 atau 2 kali sama user/manager) - Offering.
Tes aneh-aneh berjam-jam atau MCU sampai disuruh puasa dan bugil itu jatuhnya red flag dan bisa kena tuntutan pelanggaran privasi malahan di US/Eropa. KECUALI lu daftar masuk militer, kerja di lab berbahaya, atau buruh fisik berat.
Di Indo? Daftar staf admin entry level aja MCU-nya kayak mau dikirim dinas ke daerah konflik 💀
Di Jerman, siaran Piala Dunia pake overlay diatas pemain yang lagi pegang bola, ada radar (mini map), dan live-data lainnya sepanjang pertandingan.
Bener2 kaya main game bola. 🤯
Kenapa Piala Dunia ini hype nya berkurang?
Menurutku begini
Dulu orang nonton bola sebagai hiburan utama, skr alternatif saja.
Jadi penonton fokusnya terpecah.
Florentino Perez udah bilang kalau penonton bola itu menurun, terutama di level kelompok usia remaja dan anak2.
Hal ini kemudian berdampak pada perputaran uang yang berkaitan dengan Piala Dunia.
Kalau eventnya sendiri duitnya besar, tp sekarang trickle down effectnya kerasa kalau menurun.
Dulu orang marketing nimbrung ke sepakbola karena hypenya besar banget, sekarang sampai H-2 ini temen2 akun bola ga banyak dapat sponsor
Ada, tp ga banyak
Bahkan kl kubandingin dg AFF 2020 aja jauh banget ini hahahaha
Akhirnya yang menyuarakan Piala Dunia pun menurun.
Ingatan saya kemudian terbang ketika era dulu, saat Piala Dunia, bahkan desa-desa pun pada bikin hype Piala Dunia dengan ng-cat gapura ala hari Kemerdekaan Indonesia
Saya rindu masa itu, tp ya, memang dunia telah berubah, atau setidaknya diri saya sendiri pun berubah, ga selalu menonton pertandingan secara live/...
Divock Origi speaking to @PlayersTribune: “If the Premier League is heavy metal or that trap music, then Klopp’s football — you can double it. That’s the most intense football in the world, the way you’re pressing. I remember the first session, I was like, Man, you must be superhuman to play in his teams.
“His style is so authentic to him. I think it’s so true to how he sees football. And something about Klopp, the same way he will tell you if something is wrong — and really, he will shout everything — is the same way he will come and give you the biggest hug. It goes both ways. On a human level, he’s one of the best people in the world. As a manager, he’s just the best. Period. And back then, his brand of football was new. Apart from Guardiola — which still is a bit different, Tiki-Taka, you know. With Klopp, it was just like taking an intensity dial and just cranking it.”
@TouchlineX It really traumatized every football lover around the world when the news broke out 💔
A talented footballer, man would have been gearing up for the World Cup by now. It's a sad situation. RIP to the legend.
مدرب الأرجنتين دانييل باساريلا قال له: “قُص شعرك… أو لن تلعب كأس العالم.”
لم يجادل ريدوندو… لم يغضب…اختار فقط أن يرحل.
هكذا ذهب مونديال 1998 بدون أفضل لاعب وسط في الأرجنتين… 🇦🇷❌
لأن ريدوندو فضّل أن يخسر البطولة على أن يخسر نفسه، بتصريحه الشهير
“إذا كان عليّ أن أتخلى عن هويتي لألعب… فأفضل ألا ألعب"
Andoni Iraola rasanya ngga perlu lama belajar menjiwai Liverpool, sebagai klub, maupun kota. Dalam hal ini kultur, etos dan disiplin kerja.
Sebagai orang Basque, dari kota kecil Usurbil merantau ke Bilbao sejak usia 17 tahun, jelas sudah cukup membentuk karakter umum yang sama dengan Liverpool.
Bilbao dan Liverpool secara sosial punya kemiripan, keduanya sama sama kota dengan pelabuhan dan industri di masa lalu. Sama sama pernah mengalami krisis ekonomi, pengangguran akibat pergeseran sosial.
Mental, kolektifitas etos kelas pekerja pastinya lekat dengannya.
Secara geografis, Bilbao dilintasi sungai Nervion, di Liverpool ada Mersey river.
Bilbao sebagai bagian Basque punya kultur yang berbeda banget dengan Spanyol, seperti halnya Catalan, Basque "bukan" Spanyol. Sama dengan Liverpool yang dalam beberapa kesempatan, dan terlihat di banner "Scouse Not English"
Sebagai putra Basque, Andoni Iraola sudah terbiasa dengan lingkungan yang merasa kejayaan dan kerasnya masa lalu harus dihormati , dan menjadi fondasi semangat, untuk bisa menyongsong masa depan dengan kepala tegak.
Pantaslah, jika Iraola menyebutkan kata identity dalam video pendek perkenalannya.
Identitas kota Liverpool, identitas Liverpool FC
