Euro Espoirs : Ianis Hagi (Roumanie), l'héritier des Carpates Milieu offensif comme son père Gheorghe, Ianis Hagi est le visage de la génération qui veut redresser la Roumanie. By Anthony Clément/l'Equipe Le père et le fils sont l'épicentre de la fièvre jaune qui anime les matches des Espoirs roumains : Ianis Hagi brille sur le terrain et son père Gheorghe, légende vivante du pays, irradie en tribunes où il attire tous les regards. Meilleur joueur de l'histoire de la sélection nationale, le « Maradona des Carpates » est resté une icône qui a parfois du mal à se frayer un chemin parmi les supporters qui veulent l'approcher. Il a quitté avec difficulté le stade de Cesena, vendredi, après une nouvelle démonstration (contre l'Angleterre, 4-2) de l'équipe qui tire un trait d'union avec sa génération, connue pour avoir atteint les quarts de finale de la Coupe du monde 1994.

The secret to producing football talent: From global partnerships to teaching life skills LaLiga joined talent development gurus from top European clubs to discuss how academies can best cultivate young players for future success. Managing cultural differences, forming strong partnerships with local institutions and seeking improvement in coaching are key pillars of LaLiga’s grassroots projects. For football to develop in any country there needs to be a depth of playing talent that creates competition for places at domestic clubs, drives up overall standards and improves the ability to compete internationally.

Leonard refused $ 21.3 million and became a free player Kawai Lenard, a Toronto basketball player, denied the possibility to receive $ 21,300,000 next year, which means he will be unlimited free player from 1 July. SOURCE: B92 Photo by Vaughn Ridley / Getty Images The MVP of this year's final had a clause in the contract, which he could only decide whether to extend the existing contract for a year or not. Expected "Claw" has rejected this possibility and from the first of July will be an unlimited free basketball player. This information was transmitted by "Yahoo Sports" which states that Kawai seriously is considering signing a new contract with Reptors, which would probably be a two-year ( $ 70,000,000 ), with a " player option " for the second year. This means that Lenard would again be a free basketball player again, or he could change the environment. It is known that Kavaj would like to play in Los Angeles, where he was born, but as he won the Toronto title, he will probably remain at least another season in Canada.
