Before wednesday’s quarterfinal first leg against the spanish team in milan, the swedish international striker was mainly responsible for keeping the serie A champions on course for the title. With two goals, "ibra" almost single-handedly led his team to victory in a 2-1 win over AS romo. AC milan (63 points) thus kept chaser juventus turin (56) at bay ahead of the latter’s top match against inter milan on sunday afternoon.

At the giuseppe meazza stadium, the 31-year-old scored the opener of the 29. Matchday in the 53. Minute and again in the 83rd minute. Minute by head . Shortly before the intermission, pablo osvaldo (44).) marked the lead for the guests. Ibrahimovic’s two goals against rome extended his lead in the serie A scoring charts. The swede has already scored 22 goals this season, while udinese’s antonio di natale has scored 19 so far.

Italy’s sports newspapers celebrate ibrahimovic exuberantly. The "corriere dello sport" hailed "super-ibra", the "gazzetta dello sport" described the striker as a "matador". "Ibra sinks AS rom", headlined "tuttosport". Milan vice-president adriano galliani also joined in the praise: "he’s simply fantastic," said galliani, who was delighted with the performance after the semifinal match.O. In last week’s italian cup against juve, ibrahimovic was delighted with his team’s quick comeback.

Milan coach massimiliano allegri praised not only ibrahimovic, but his entire team. "We showed character after the 0:1," the coach said. Allegri was also particularly pleased with the comeback of kevin prince boateng. The berlin native played the last half hour after overcoming injury and was convincing. The only downer for the milanese was the injury to thiago silva. The veteran defender suffered a muscle injury in his right thigh and hobbled out of the stadium with a limp. He will be missing against barcelona.

"I am very sorry for thiago," said ibrahimovic. Instead of being celebrated for his two goals, the swede was mainly thinking about his injured colleague. Like club owner silvio berlusconi a few days earlier, ibrahimovic also lamented the many injuries in the team. "Something has to change," demanded the striker. In italy, this was interpreted as criticism of the coaching staff for not training the players properly and overtaxing them at times.

The post Milan 2:1 against as rom thanks to ibrahimovic appeared first on Bitkimo.

"This is not an easy decision for me," said guardiola, "the reason is simple. Four years is an eternity for a coach, four years makes everyone tired. It’s time for me to go."

Club president sandro rosell fell on the neck of the "best coach in the history of the club" with 13 titles and immediately explained the surprising, but nevertheless consistent choice of the successor. The current assistant tito vilanova is to continue the legacy of the 41-year-old guardiolas. "You can expect the best from tito. He is more than talented, the players know him. I think the club has made a great choice," guardiola touted his confidant, "i was just the voice of the ideas that tito and i developed together."

Like his predecessor, who is a year younger, vilanova comes from the club’s own talent factory la masia. He has only been in the spotlight once so far – involuntarily: when real madrid’s coach jose mourinho stuck a finger in his eye during the supercup final last year, he retaliated by punching him in the neck.

Otherwise, the fubball expert vilanova is considered a calm and meticulous worker. He represents "the philosophy of the club", explained sports director andoni zubizarreta.

Guardiola, on the other hand, remained silent about his own future. Thanks to his reputation, he could probably choose between the posts at chelsea FC, the english football association or next year the employment at manchester united. He still does not want to immediately take a new job, emphasized guardiola, who had always signed only one-year contracts at barcelona.

Too deep sits the youngest exchange. The defeat in the championship race against real madrid and the league exit went down in the annals of barca as the "blackest days of ara guardiola" (marca). Although the catalans celebrated their short-passing game designed for ball possession, they lacked any efficiency in front of goal. The only criticism guardiola has of his time in barcelona is that a head-controlled plan B against extremely defensive opponents like real or chelsea did not exist in the exhilarating style of play.

Guardiola leaves his youth club not only titles for the trophy cabinet at camp nou, but also a philosophy as a legacy. The former defensive midfielder completed the ball- and opponent-controlling tiki-taka style of his predecessors with a dizzying press. "I would like to thank pep with all my heart for everything he has given me in my professional and personal career," wrote three-time world footballer lionel messi on facebook. The argentinean had already raved about guardiola: "pep is more important for barcelona than i am. Since he arrived, he has changed everything for us. He has won everything there is to win."

Guardiola led barca to two champions league titles (2009, 2011), three league titles (2009-2011), the world cup (2009, 2011), the european supercup (2009, 2011), the spanish supercopa (2009-2011), and a victory in the spanish royal cup (2009). In january, he was named FIFA world coach of the year 2011. "He knows exactly how to do it," praised even his rough opponent jose mourinho of madrid archrival briefly.

Opinions on guardiola’s retirement differed among his colleagues, however. Jupp heynckes was not surprised and showed understanding: "the indications in the last few weeks were that he would end his engagement," said the bayern coach, "coaching a top european club is stressful. The cost of substance." Arsene wenger of FC arsenal, however, criticized the timing of the decision. "The philosophy of barcelona must be more rough than winning or losing," he said.

It's a start into the unknown and nobody knows what the end result will be. Can the basketball players really manage to pull off a 34-game season with subsequent playoffs in the middle of a pandemic that is affecting the entire society??

Or will there have to be some adjustments to the game schedule in order to create a champion, as in the previous year, unlike in ice hockey, for example?? "We are not dealing with that yet. We have a plan A and we're going to follow it until it's no longer possible," said BBL boss stefan holz ahead of the season opener with the ludwigsburg vs. Gottingen game on 6. November (20.30 am/magenta sports).

But even before the first bounce, the BBL had to postpone two games at once. Because a player of the gieben 46ers tested positive for corona, almost the entire team was sent to quarantine for 14 days by the health department. This for the 7. November, the 46ers' planned home game against mitteldeutscher bc has therefore been postponed indefinitely. This also applies to the game of medi bayreuth against the telekom baskets bonn. Quarantine had been ordered for all players and coaches of the franken almost two weeks ago, so bayreuth applied for the transfer.

Already in the early cup competition it had become clear how unstable the system is. Defending champion alba berlin had to send half of its team to quarantine for 14 days due to a total of seven positive corona tests, and medi bayreuth and telekom baskets bonn were also unable to play their scheduled cup games for the time being due to corona cases. The top four planned for last weekend had to be postponed indefinitely.

In addition to the problems with the schedule, the 18 clubs have to deal with the ban on spectators until at least the end of november. A political decision that did not meet with universal approval, since leagues and clubs had invested a lot of work and money in strict hygiene concepts that will not be implemented for the time being. "From our point of view, there are no technical or hygienic reasons for this," said holz, who described the decision as "bitter".

After all, unlike in soccer, basketball clubs are heavily dependent on ticket and merchandising revenues. "Basketball cannot exist in the long term without spectator revenue," marvin willoughby, general manager of the hamburg towers, said in a survey by the deutsche presse-agentur. Even industry leader bayern munchen had problems when the exclusion of spectators due to the coronavirus pandemic was in effect for the entire season. "Even FC bayern basketball won't be able to get through a complete season without spectators, because we're already stretched to the limit financially here," said bayern general manager marko pesic.

But despite all the odds, frankfurt's managing director gunnar wobke received no support for his proposal to postpone the start of the season by at least a month to early december. "Such decisions are definitely too early now. We want to try to play as many games as possible and then react in the season if necessary," said ulm's managing director thomas stoll.

Last season, the BBL proved that it is flexible. As the only one of the rough sports, the basketball players, besides the professional football, managed to finish their season. The experience gained from the quarantane tournament in munich with ten teams should now help the league and the clubs to cope with the expected uncertainties of the new season.

Top priority is to get all games through somehow. "We simply owe it to our partners, sponsors and of course the fans," said martin geissler, managing director at mitteldeutscher bc. "We can't afford to deliver another shortened playing year. It doesn't work."

And so the basketball players will shimmy from week to week for the time being. The fact that only four clubs are playing internationally this year will help schedule what are sure to be numerous make-up games. But it remains a ride on a razor's edge. "This is fighting for survival," said alba berlin's executive director Marco Baldi.

Snapshot – may 2011, the longtime table tennis district youth director gerhard hahn (TSG sommerhausen) and his deputy oliver sponsel (TV etwashausen) do not stand for election at the district convention, as announced a long time ago. Successors are not in sight. Like in school, when quizzed, everyone pulls in their heads. Reinhard pfenning (SV kurnach), district chairman, sees himself in the responsibility for the new generation, limited his provisional work as district youth director until the 30th birthday of his son. June 2012. After all, it's about the playing future of around 300 young people, over a quarter of the total number of players in the district.

Pfenning has now hung on for more than a quarter of a year and held the district individual youth championship in ochsenfurt in mid-october. "I once again made an urgent appeal to the numerous players, parents and guardians and described the situation." He had already done the same at the adult district championships: "i took the opportunity to again emphasize the seriousness of the situation and to inform the people directly." Because he was not sure whether the information is passed on by the department heads. – all this is only the end of long efforts and many discussions, in order to find successors for this important office.

"Since may 2011, I and my colleagues approached a great many sports friends who had been qualified – without result", reinhard pfenning shrugs his shoulders. In april 2012, he wrote again to all clubs and showed the scenario of the discontinuation of the single game operation of the youth – zero response.

"Nobody said anything to me – the only question was: do you already have a district youth director??" And he adds: "the youth leaders in the clubs are interested that there is one, but so far they have not been able to contribute anything to the solution." How far this problem is mentioned in the departmental meetings, he does not know. "Probably only as a marginal note", suspects pfenning. Up to now it is only a marginal problem for the clubs, which becomes acute only if the youth single game operation does not take place any more. "Due to the lack of a district youth warden, the latter is unfortunately the case as of now", the district chairman gives a clear and unmistakable message.

No more youth circle tournaments

He defines the consequences: "the single game operation of the youth will be shortened. The three district ranking tournaments and the school team championship are canceled. The players can not qualify for the next level, because there are neither district tournaments nor a further report to the district is made. Because until further notice there is no district youth director." Only in the team could the table tennis junior now still league competitions play out.

Reinhard pfenning is not a man who will let the youth singles sport go down the drain lightly. The sport of table tennis, and especially young talent, is close to his heart. He himself has led the training of the kids at SV kurnach for almost 20 years.

Nevertheless, he now takes this step, because the clubs and the district council decided – they did not find a candidate – that there is no district youth director: "since the district council in 2011, I have approached all department heads, written to all departments. Information to the clubs emailed and put on the homepage, which tasks a district youth director has to perform – absolutely zero response."

He has an explanation for the fact that no one has come forward so far: "those who already do a lot of youth work say that this is too much for us." Most of the time, these people spend more than two hours a week in the hall, supervising games and tournaments. With the others it is simply disinterest. "They argue in a totally nonsensical way: we don't have and don't do any youth work, so we are not meant at all when it comes to the position of a district youth director."

Strongly involved in clubs

And the rough clubs that have many young people in their ranks – TV etwashausen, TV ochsenfurt, TG heidingsfeld, SC heuchelhof? "I got in touch with TV etwashausen through oliver sponsel". Sponsel himself is very intensively involved in the TVE's youth work and cannot take on any more tasks. Within the department is also no one.

As pfenning emphasized, the tg heidingsfeld is "an almost one-man-show" in youth coaching, with a 76-year-old dieter spickermann at the helm." He does a lot in heidingsfeld, but is usually alone there himself.

With the TV ochsenfurt there had been some intensive discussion against: "wait and see, think about it, but in the end there was a no." Heuchelhof's youth director rainer ziegler is also in the hall three times a week. "He really could not do it."

What is it about the office of the district youth director that makes everyone shy away from it: "on five sundays a year, the district youth director, together with the organizing club, conducts a district individual championship, three ranking tournaments and a school team championship", according to pfenning. He estimates the time needed for each tournament at around eight hours for preparation and follow-up plus the duration of the tournament. Acceptance of the registrations and further registration of the qualified were in his area of responsibility. The district youth director had hardly anything to do for about eight months of the year. Only october (district individual championship) and the late winter to early spring were the focus of its work. "The office is age-independent. An interested 20-year-old can hold it like a 70-year-old." You don't even have to be an active player yourself, parents and supporters could also take on this task, says the 50-year-old official. Also the tasks can be distributed on several shoulders. The new one or ones were trained by pfenning himself or former district youth director gerhard hahn, he offers.

The district chairman hopes that the clubs will understand the situation. If not, he sees black for the table tennis sport in the district of kitzingen: "if you look at the age structure (note the age of the players), you will see that there are no more young people. D. Red. Average of 42 years for adults) and imagines what will happen if no more young people come along. Then you can calculate that in 20 years someone will close off the last halls." He hasn't given up hope yet – but it's already less than five to twelve – snapshot november 2012.

"We’ve managed to produce ten years of unstoppable growth at the adidas brand, we’ve made taylormade-adidas the world’s greatest golf brand, and damn it, why shouldn’t we be able to get reebok there," hainer said at the presentation of the 2012 annual figures on thursday in herzogenaurach.

Adidas surprisingly had to adjust company values in the triple-digit millions in 2012, mainly due to the poorer growth prospects at reebok. As a result, profits slumped by 13.8 percent to 524 million euros – without value adjustments, they had risen by almost 30 percent to 789 million euros. Operating profit decreased by 3.4 percent to 920 million euros. Sales – driven by the olympics and the european soccer championship and supported by exchange rates – rose by 11.7 percent to a record 14.9 billion euros.

There will also be recorder lots in 2013, the CEO announced. "For the year as a whole, we anticipate a mid-single-digit increase in sales on a like-for-like basis, with growth across all brands, regions and distribution channels."The profit attributable to shareholders, which last year amounted to 526 million euros after valuation adjustments, is expected to increase to 890 to 920 million euros, even without major sporting events.

For the world’s number two behind nike, things are basically going brilliantly. In 2012, for example, the important fubball sales rose to a record 1.7 billion euros. Only reebok keeps causing trouble for the french: last spring, criminal activities were discovered in india, which is why the consolidated financial statements of the previous years had to be adjusted. The 265 million euro impairment charge was also largely attributable to reebok, as management took a more negative view of growth prospects, particularly in north and latin america.

The withdrawal from the national football league and the regrouping of field hockey sales also had an impact on reebok’s earnings. They fell by 14 percent last year to 1.7 billion euros. Hainer had already revised medium-term sales expectations in september. Instead of three billion euros, reebok is to contribute only two billion euros by 2015.

Shares in the dax company, which employs 46,300 people worldwide, nevertheless rose by a good five percent to more than 75 euros by early afternoon. Analysts cited the high level of cash on hand and the 35 percent increase in the dividend to 1.35 euros as the reasons for this.

It's not just going to be an asphalt ribbon from A to B, the fub and bike path that will connect the fortuna culture factory in hochstadt with the parking lot at the festplatz in the aischauen next spring. Architect fritz wiesneth wants to make the walk along this path an experience.

The new pathway is part of the aubenanlagen around the fortuna cultural center, whose construction is also scheduled to begin in spring. The building committee of the hochstadt city council approved the plan at its meeting on monday evening. With the design of the open space behind the former factory building and the sports facilities in the adjacent aischwiesen meadows, the fortuna project will finally be completed and once again strongly upgraded.

Architect wiesneth liked the path from the parking lot to the auben facilities as a "small axis of art design. "One should also think of the culture", says the architect and envisages flat surfaces for this purpose. The route of the path will be laid out in such a way that the walker always has the hochstadt castle in view when going to the parking lot.

Light from solar lamps
To make the pathway inviting at night as well, it will be illuminated with solar lights that are independent of the power grid. It should generally tie hochstadt-sud closer to the city center. A ramp and stairs lead up to the open land behind the cultural center. The remains of the old boiler house, which is a listed building, will be converted into an exhibition pavilion, into which a covered stage will be integrated in the direction of the main building.

Here, in the acoustically shielded courtyard of the cultural center, evening concerts, summer cinema and other events could take place. In order to provide visitors with drinks, a mobile bar is also planned in the pavilion, in front of which a small beer garden will be set up under the coarse chestnut tree.

"The beer garden, however, is not to become a gastronomic operation", emphasizes architect wiesneth. There are no plans for a tenant and no plans for permanent management. Only during events will the organizers have the opportunity to entertain their guests in the open air.

Space is kept free on the paved land for a coarser stage that can be aligned with the aisch meadows. Such a stage had already been preserved at the second young-and-free festival.
A soccer field is being built on the aisch meadows, along with a basketball court, a skating area and an "adventure area" for children. The buildings are coordinated with the water management office.
