Kimmich: 'Xavi and Lahm are my idols.'

 The versatile player of Bayern Munich Joshua Kimmich admitted that he took an example from the legend of Barcelona Xavi, who left the Catalans colossus last summer.
'Xavi was my role model in childhood. He was very, very good football player. It was a strong technical and leader on the pitch. He can lead the team and is a team player.', Kimmich in front of the site of UEFA.
'He knows how to combine with his teammates and is always at the service of the team. I also saw him as a role model, because it was not as strong physically as the other.'
'Philipp Lahm is also an example for me. Very few players in the world have its perseverance in the introduction. I can't think of three poor games from him. This is a quality that few have. Players often are judged by their weak matches, and with Philipp, there are almost no such things.', added the rookie, who was one of the sensational scorers Bayern in all tournaments this season.

Pele was kicked out of Italy

The Italian striker Graziano Pelle was removed from the team after he refused to shake the hand with the coach Giampiero Ventura last night.
He was replaced in the second half against Spain by Ciro Immobile, but he didn't stay happy and went immediately into the tunnel, ignoring the experience of greeting by the mentor.
Ventura tried to gloss over what happened after the match saying that Pele probably was frustrated by himself and by his performance, but today before noon, the Federation announced that the player was removed from the team.
He is free to return to the Chinese team Shandong and will miss Sunday's clash with Macedonia. He realized his mistake, the former Southampton striker apologized in Instagram, having determined his behaviour as 'unacceptable' and added that 'it would be fair to assume the responsibility for what happened'.
The goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon also said that it didn\'t happen, who knows what, but the player was not right. 'In such tense duels, that happens. If he's sorry, then we will be happy to take him back.' So far it is not clear whether the future of the scorer in the team is compromised.

Tuchel: 'I have never claimed red cards.'

 The coach of Borussia Dortmund, Thomas Tuchel stood firmly at his words, that his players were too often fouled in the course of the games. Before the match against Hertha, the coach of the Bundesliga stressed that despite appearances he never wanted the red card for a specific player.
The occasion for these comments arose from the previous round, in which 'Black-Yellow' decreased by 0:2 against Bayer Leverkusen. After the derby, Tuchel spoke very harshly for the extremely hard approach of the rivals, and his statement raised an uproar in Germany.
'The opponent crosses all sorts of boundaries. Typically, if a team has made so many fouls in a game, then it will not finish with 11 men.', noted then the angry professional.
It got to the fact that the coach of Hertha Paul Dardai criticized Tuchel with the claim that his talk may influence the decisions of the referees from now on. The coach of Borussia did not hide that he was surprised by the scale of the reaction after his remarks.
'I'm surprised that the discussion about the fouls was above any limits.I am rarely going over the number of violations when I read the statistics from a match. I did not require red cards for anything and anyone. The only thing was, it was the imbalance between the underlying and suffered violations.', said Tuchel.
'I think that 20 fouls in one game are well above the permissible. Despite all the competition, I don't think that's the way to play football. Right now, it is questionable whether we will have 16 players from the first team ready for the match with Hertha. We will need to add the part of adolescents.', added Tuchel.
