Podcast 44 - The Cruyff Turn

The best player ever in my country is Zidane without any doubt.
Maybe Mbappe will beat a lot of record but not sure he will be as good as Zidane.

Johan Cruyff is not the best European player but his influence on the game was incredible as a player but also as a coach.

What do you think?
1-He was one of the best player. Pele and Messi-America, George Best -Europe, Salif Keita-Africa, Son Min -Asia and Metin Oktay from my country.
2- In football, I remember “Bosman Rule” that related to the transfer of the players.
3-Stand up, stretch out your hands, bend your knees move your body down and up I mean squat movement. Look at the horizontal line while doing it.
Phrases
• From now on, people'll be more awareness of the viruses , care about hygiene and work out health problems without delay.
• Some players let the ball go through their legs because they are sure that one of teammate is exist behind her/him. It's needed more practise and good communication for this.

Hi Rich! Technology is amazing. I've been working on the podcasts which are made five years ago. I used to work BBC English Learning pages on this dates.
Thanks to all members of this team for their best efforts.Bye.

I would go for a draw between Liverpool and Spurs

I will talk about the step of the free kick of Beckham
Bend it like Beckham

1. Focus
Glance up the goal , consider the angle of the kick and the position of the goalkeeper and the wall then decide where are you going to place it
2. Place it
Some players go to power. Try to lift the ball over the wall with enough spin that it dips just under the bar.
To do this you need to approach the ball from an angle so when you kick it you twist your body and spin the ball
3. Set Yourself
Don't go back for a long run because you will focus on precision not power. Just take two or three steps back with arm stretching to give you enough balance
4. The Run-Up
Don't look at the goal as you begin to run-up as you should know where it is by now. Keep your eyes focused on the ball only
5. Striking The Ball
Make a contact on the bottom right side of the ball scooping it up then putting a pin on it with the inside of your foot.
Bend your non-kicking knee and lean back slightly as you take the kick as it will give the ball enough lift to go over the wall
6. Follow Through
Follow through with your kicking leg and keep your other foot firmly planted on the ground for balance. Then look up to see the ball sails into the right corner and the crowd goes mad :)

Actually I tried this technique several times and it was mostly successful as I scored some stunning free kicks in my local league here in Turkey

The Trofeo Pichichi

In Spanish football, the Trofeo Pichichi is awarded by the sports newspaper Marca to the top goalscorer of each La Liga season. Named after the Athletic Bilbao striker Rafael "Pichichi" Moreno, the trophy has been awarded annually since the 1952–53 season.

Best Player in my country is current country is Hakan Sukur
and in my original country is Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Abutrika

I think Zinedine Zidane is the best European player ever then Cristiano Ronaldo
In North America : Landon Donovan - Javier Hernandez
South America : Lionel Messi - Diego Maradona
Europe : Zinedine Zidane - Cristiano Ronaldo
Asia : Park Ji-Song - Heung-Min Son
Africa : Mohamed Salah - Didier Drogba
Australia : Harry Kewell - Tim Cahill

First of all, it's great to be back!
I think the best European player ever is Zinedine Zidane, even when he ended his career with a wrong head kick. In my opinion, the best player in South America is Lionel Messi for he has abilities worth of the title "the best football player in the world". I'm an Antonio Valencia's fan and think he is the very best of our country.
In WWE there are lots of movements named after some famous wrestlers such as the undertaker's last breath or Triple H's pedigree.
Now, I will teach you how to plant a tree!
1. First, buy a plant, flower or tree of your liking.
2. Then choose a spot were you would like to plant it.
3. When you have done the previous steps, remove the soil in the spot you previously chose.
4. Next, dig a hole a little deeper and wider than your plant.
5. If the soil is dry, fill the hole with water and wait until two thirds of it had disappeared, if the soil is wet don't water it.
6. Take the surronding plastic off the roots of your plant, and carefully put it into the hole.
7. After that, fill the remaning space with soil and firmly press around the plant for leaving it well founded.
8. Finally, water your plant and do not forget to take care of it in a continuos basis.

I predict a Liverpool win, Liverpool 2, Tottenham 1

i think that best player is alan shearer and frank lampard

hallo friends
i think totenham will win
liverpool vs totenham 1-2

1. In my opinion, I don’t think that Johan Cruyff (RIP for his soul) is the best European player ever, for the simple reason that time always gives us new talents in all specialties, so we can’t guess who will be the ever best of tomorrow. In my country, players are not so good, especially in last years, but there is a player, whose name will be not mentioned, because he’s the best for his stupidity. I don’t know why he still plays!
2. Alfred Bernhard Nobel (21 October 1833 – 10 December 1896) has had an action named after him. He was a Swedish chemist. On 27 November 1895, Nobel signed his last will and testament and set aside the bulk of his estate to establish the Nobel Prizes, to be awarded annually without distinction of nationality.
3. I will tell you how preparing a delicious couscous which is our best traditional food (instructions translated from French, I hope that I don’t make a lot of mistakes):
First of all, put the lamb meat previously spiced in a pan, and cook it. Then what you do is peeling and slicing all the vegetables. After that, brown them in the meat juice: to start with peppers and carrots, then turnips, cabbage bleached in advance, zucchini and chickpeas. In the next step, add the tomato sauce with salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and all spices wanted, then cover with water. Reduce heat and let all ingredients cooking about 1h30.
To prepare the seed, mix it with salt and oil to coat the grains of fats so they don't stick. After that pour boiling water to cover seeds and let them rise.
Finally, eat it! Emmm, delicious!
4. Rich predicts that Tottenham will beat Liverpool 2-1 in this weekend's big Premier League match. I agree, but I guess that the result will be 3-1.
5. Would you please make for us a lesson talking about ‘ever’. This word is used excessively in club’s articles, but it’s not clear how to use it and where putting it in the sentence. Its meaning is the opposite of ‘never’, but ‘never’ is so simple and clear.
6. Could you explain to us the difference between colleague and ‘mate’, I know three words with ‘mate’: teammate, classmate and housemate.
7. Thank you a lot!

I think Lionel Messi is one of the contenders for the 'Best World Football Player Ever' title.

Thinking of the best football players in Ukraine I must say that two of them are worth mentioning: Oleh Blokhin (pre-independence period) and Andriy Shevchenko (post-independence period).

I think this week's phrase is a b***** header.

What about the 'Stunning header'?

In terms of the best Spanish player ever I think I haven't watched and witnessed enough football to judge that. However, for what I saw and also because of the track record I would say that one of the best Spanish players I ever seen is Xavi Hernández. He was always very calmly and wise, and that used to let him control most of games he played.

I can also think of other actions or skills that were named after a player. For example, the "Zidane roulette" or the "elastica of Ronaldinho" became really famous a few years ago.

I know for Pele runaround move; A blind pass performed by Magic Johnson or Pump fake mastered by Kobe Bryant.

'The Seal Dribble'. The first thing you do is flicking the ball from the ground onto your head. Then what you do is proceeding to run past opponent and above all to control the ball. You should try to bounce the ball on top of your forehead all the time. It is very difficult to perform but it is possible and some brazilian players enjoy in this dribble..

Correct me. I didn't see him play any game but I have seen some of the best plays of him and were amazing, I would also add that by what people say, Johan Cruyff was one of the best players of his time.
The "Cruyff turn" was an outsanding movement that would let any defender out of action.

I agree with Rich in that Tottneham is going to win the match against Liverpool but I think it's going to be a different result. Final score: Liverpool 1- 3 Tottenham.

The best players from each continent could be: Z.Zidane - Europe, G.Weah - Africa, H.Nakata - Asia, D.Maradona - S.America, T.Howard - N.America, H.Kewell - Australia. But it is quite difficult to limit the list on one player. This is just one of the possible options indeed. The best players ever from my country are Dejan Savicevic and Pedja Mijatovic.

I really wouldn't know the answer. There are many types of techniques, skills and characters. One thing is for certain: One of the best ever and perhaps the best football innovator was J.Cruyff!

I think that the word is 'blasting header'.

Zidane is better than Johan Cruyff as a player but Cruyff was better as a manager and a new football practitioner with his playing total football. Pele is the best player in the world and Lalmas the best Algerian player.
Assad salah has a turn. He did like this : First push the ball gently all along your right leg, then have it swiftly back with the same leg and run in your other leg direction letting your defender fixed. It is better made when yours legs are tall like Assad's one's.
I agree with Rich for Spurs winner but I think the final score will be 3.1.
My guess is a b***** header.

QS.3 creating a singlet from your shirt you do not want to wear any more
to begin, mark out the singlet shape from your shirt with a pencil
next cut out the excess of the shirt so the singlet can be easily made out
finally sew the edges to prevent the strands from falling out

QS.1 I think the best ever European player is zidane.
Best African player is George Oppong Weah of Liberia
Best Ghanaian player is Abedi Pele

1- I didn't watch Johan Cruyff playing so I don't know how better he was. I have some players from all continents in my mind but I am a fan of Messi. Unfortunately, my country is not good in football, so I can't name any best player.
2- I was watching an instructive football video, and the instructor do "a maradona move". He said he call it Maradona move, other may call it different.
3- I have many football tricks in my mind, but find it quite difficult to write.
I don't want Tottenham to win, because I want Leicester to win the league, and because Liverpool is my favorite club in Premier league.

1.Johan cruyff was the best players in Europe.
I think the best player from each continent are Drogba in Africa, ronaldinho in South America , Hidetoshi Nakata in Asia.
In Japan the best player is also Hidetoshi Nakata!

I think that best player in South Korea is Bum-gun Cha who former Bundesliga player. Because he has scored 98 goals at 308 games in Bundesliga and he is UEFA cup champion in Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen.
Marseille turn also known as "Zidane turn" It was very beautiful 360 degree turn.
I predict that Liverpool get win against Tottenham 3-1.

At first,draw right foot, feints a pass back down the pitch, feints a pass back down the pitch, feints a pass back down the pitch, feints a pass back down the pitch .

I know Panenka's penalty after him.

I think he wasn't.The best ever player in Europe is Cristiano Ronaldo.in South America is Diego Armando Maradona and in Africa is Didier Drogba.

It's very bad news. However I don't agree that Cruyff was the best European player ever. Rather than one of the best. In my country the best player is Henrich Mchitaryan, One of the bests are Yura Movsisyan and Gevorg Ghazaryan.

I predict a draw. Tottenham 2 Liverpool 2.

A player who is called paninka made a different way to shot the penalty and it is cold the spoon.

The phrase that Jack said is Powerful header.
