ciclismo 🚴‍♀️ y fútbol ⚽️ una pasión

[José Anselmo Moreno 🌾 @JoseAnselm]

Un GRANDE con quien he mantenido entrevistas para mi libro de 🚵‍♀️ y que, como futbolero que es, no podía faltar en esta sección. Los siguientes serán un actor y un escritor. Ambos MUY famosos. Lo del humorista se complica, el éxito lo desborda al punto que ni tiene tiempo de venir

🚨Toni Kroos on Vinícius Jr.’s red card incident against Villarreal:

🗣️ Toni Kroos:

“People will argue about the disallowed goal. Fine. Others will argue that Vinícius pulled Saliba’s hair. Fine. But did anyone watch what happened before that incident?

Vini receives the ball, passes it across to Jude Bellingham and immediately starts his run forward. Saliba blocks his path, Vini tries to get around him, and his hand makes contact with Saliba’s hair before he continues his run into the box.

Now, where was the referee? Where was VAR when Saliba was blocking Vini from making that progressive run?

The referee allows play to continue. Jude drives forward, finds Vini with a beautiful pass, and Vini does what he does best: he finishes the chance and puts the ball in the net.

That’s football! A brilliant pass, an intelligent run and a quality finish.

Then comes the celebration. José Mourinho runs over to celebrate with Vini, supporting a player who has been going through a difficult period.

A few seconds later, we’re watching VAR. And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘What exactly are we looking for here?’

Do I see contact with Saliba’s hair? Yes. I’m not going to deny that. But do I see an aggressive hair pull? Do I see Vini stopping to fight him or deliberately trying to hurt him? No, I don’t.

I see two players competing for position, contact being made, and the game continuing. Yet somehow, that incident becomes important enough to overturn a goal and send Vini off.

When the referee showed him the red card, I couldn’t control my anger.

Not because Vini should be allowed to do whatever he wants. No player is above the rules. But if you’re going to punish someone that severely, you need to be absolutely certain about what you’re punishing.

What frustrates me is the inconsistency. Football is a contact sport. Players fight for space, hold positions and use their arms. Why are we examining Vini’s reaction so closely while seemingly ignoring what happened before it?

And let’s be honest, when you cancel a goal and send a player off, you’re not just making a small decision. You’re changing the entire game. That’s why I expect the officials to look at the whole sequence, not simply isolate one moment and ignore everything that led to it.

And just like that, Jude’s beautiful pass and Vini’s finish become secondary. Everybody is talking about a few seconds of contact instead of the football.

I have no problem with referees enforcing the rules. I have a problem when the punishment becomes the story and the football gets forgotten.

Vini should be judged fairly, just like every other player. His reputation should neither protect him nor condemn him.

If a goal can be scored, celebrated and then taken away because of contact the referee initially allowed, the very least we deserve is a clear explanation. Football needs consistency, not confusion.”

Un recuerdo para todos los compañeros y amigos q desfilaron por GOL TV, donde tuvimos la oportunidad de hablar de fútbol con libertad y sin extremismos. Hoy el canal desaparece! Abrazo para todos y gracias por la confianza.

Esta mañana me decía @JavierMinguez10 que Noval es el ciclista español que más rendimiento ha dado a su edad y que estamos hablando de un "fuera de serie". Ojo a lo que se nos viene...

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

¡Qué barbaridad de final en @letour ciclismo del bueno!! la subida a Montmartre es un espectáculo. Acierto total. Excelso Van der Poel y encomiable colaboración de Tadej Pogacar. Dos bestias! 🚴‍♂️

[José Manuel García-Otero @butacondelgarci]

Muchas veces, la vida es bonita para la gente buena.

[Javier Minguez @JavierMinguez10]

@jmolivan @LeTour Nadie quiere entender que una competición tiene que tener su escenario su campo donde desarrollar el espectáculo y proteger al deportista ? Es increíble la falta de protección a los ciclistas al espectáculo y a la seguridad de TODOS

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

Ayer, en L’Alpe D’Huez, la seguridad de @LeTour dejó mucho q desear. Se creen infalibles pero tienen muchas facetas a mejorar. 🚴‍♂️

@UCI_media Hypocrisy
UCI is nothing else as bunch of politicians
There is no rider support at all

🗣️ Marc Cucurella: The World Cup final completely changed my opinion of Leo Messi.

From my perspective, he looked frustrated and desperate to win. After I simply asked him, as captain, to calm his teammates because I felt they were becoming too aggressive, I believe he portrayed our exchange to the referee as something it wasn’t. I never made any racist remark, and the whole incident left me deeply disappointed.

That moment made me question the fairness of what happened. To me, honesty and integrity matter just as much as winning. If I feel someone has misrepresented my words, it’s difficult for me to trust or respect them in the same way again.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been my idol since childhood, and my respect for him has never changed. I admire his dedication, discipline, and mentality. In my opinion, he has built his legacy through hard work, perseverance, and merit. That’s why he will always be my greatest football inspiration.

[Rafael Nácher @rafael_nacher]

Este hombre es sin duda uno de los mejores futbolistas de todos los tiempos. Pero además, es UN SEÑOR, cosa que otros no pueden decir.
Bravo, Cristiano 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Paulo Futre @Futre]

Todo empezó con Usted. Espero que no la esté liando mucho allí arriba. O bueno, sí. ¡Claro que sí! ¡Disfrútelo!

Le echamos de menos, Míster.
Infinitas gracias por todo.

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

Un baño de fútbol de España. 94 minutos y ni un tiro a puerta de la albiceleste. Argentina es el antifútbol. Bravo @SEFutbol

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

El fútbol siempre es justo. Ganan los mejores. Fuera el macarrismo argentino! Vamos🇪🇸

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

@capde11 👏👏👏 A por la ⭐️⭐️

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

España tiene bastante más fútbol. Argentina más oficio. Partido abierto e imprevisible. Dos equipos muy competitivos…Deseo q gane el buen futbol por encima de ciertas “artimañas” también lícitas q buscarán idéntico objetivo!

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

Lo de Tuchel, esta noche, es de despido inmediato!!

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

Pocas veces he visto un EQUIPO, un CONJUNTO, un BLOQUE tan SOLIDARIO como esta @SEFutbol vaya cortocircuito a Francia y a sus estrellas. Mbappe, Dembelé, Olise, Doue… ANULADOS. Sensacional !! Un gran 14 de julio!

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

Y José Manuel Fuente, el “Tarangu”
Dos cracks al comando!! 🚴‍♂️

[José Manuel Oliván Méliz @jmolivan]

Acertadísima incorporación. Si sabe enseñar todo lo que era capaz de hacer en el césped, acierto total! Mucha suerte, Sergio, a seguir creciendo!
