00:00Hello and welcome to Sports Room, I am your host Najeeb-ul-Hasnain.
00:10The same thing happened which we were all waiting for.
00:14India has started making excuses again.
00:17They have sent a request to the ICC to change the venue of the Champions Trophy.
00:22Let us show you the claims of the Indian media in this report.
00:26Our Sports Correspondent Mr. Shahid Hashmi is with us.
00:29Mr. Shahid, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
00:31Assalam.
00:33Mr. Shahid, India has started making excuses again.
00:37The Indian media is making a strong claim on this.
00:40Is this a matter of concern?
00:42It is not a matter of concern at all.
00:45There is a story in which there is no mention of BCCI source.
00:49And in the same story, an official of BCCI has quoted Rajiv Shukla.
00:54There will be 70-80 more such statements by October.
00:58It will be decided by October or November.
01:00And this decision will not be taken by the BCCI.
01:02It will be taken by the Indian government.
01:04And the BCCI will only have a say in this.
01:06Whatever the government instructs them,
01:13they have to follow the BCCI.
01:15But there is a lot of pressure from the international community on India.
01:18That you are a world champion.
01:20Pakistan has come to your country twice.
01:22Despite the fact that there is a lot of talk of terrorism.
01:24Despite the fact that you put allegations.
01:26The allegations are denied.
01:28Despite all this, Pakistan went twice in 2016 and 2023.
01:33So there is pressure from the international community on India as well.
01:36But this will not be decided before October or November.
01:39My prediction is that India will send its security delegation by the end of October.
01:44Mr. Shahid, you were in a very important next question.
01:47That now this will continue.
01:49Their propaganda will continue to grow.
01:51But the real thing is that we also went to the World Cup.
01:54And we went on the condition that this is an ICC event.
01:57This was understood in the Asia Cup etc.
01:59But now this will not happen.
02:01So for the fans, be hopeful that we will go on this plan.
02:06The entire Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan.
02:08These things keep coming out every day.
02:11That this happened in Kashmir.
02:12Something happened here.
02:13Something happened there.
02:14But when the government of Pakistan asks for it.
02:17There is no evidence or proper thing in Pakistan.
02:21Pakistan itself has been victim of terrorism.
02:23Millions of people have been victim of terrorism in Pakistan.
02:26Terrorism is suffering in Pakistan.
02:28It is suffering for the whole world.
02:29So it is absolutely wrong to blame Pakistan.
02:32And address it.
02:33Sit.
02:34Until this political tension is not removed.
02:36Until such stories continue to run.
02:38Thank you very much.
02:39Sports Correspondent Mr. Shahid Hashmi is with us.
02:41He clearly says that there is nothing to worry about.
02:44Such news will continue to come.
02:46The Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan.
02:48And there is no plan for a neutral venue.
02:50Viewers, tell you that Shaheen Shah Afridi is accused of bad behavior by the coaches.
02:57In Shaheen Afridi's visit to England.
02:59Batting coach Mohd Yusuf Talq Kalami.
03:02On which he later apologized.
03:04Let's take updates.
03:05Our representative Shehzad Malik is with us.
03:07Shehzad, what are the updates?
03:08And what is the development ahead?
03:10Yes, Najib.
03:11Shaheen Shah Afridi is accused of bad behavior by the coaches in Mumbai.
03:15And according to the source.
03:16During Shaheen Afridi's visit to England.
03:18Batting coach Mohd Yusuf Talq Kalami was there.
03:21While Komi fast bowler had apologized to the batting coach.
03:25But in the heading lane.
03:28During Shaheen's bowling practice.
03:30Mohd Yusuf was repeatedly marking his 9 balls.
03:34And repeatedly on the mark.
03:36Shaheen said that let me practice now.
03:39Don't interfere.
03:41So this was a matter of Talq Kalami.
03:43And after the apology.
03:45The team management dismissed the matter.
03:48Chairman BCB Mohsin Naqvi.
03:51To look at all these matters.
03:53Discipline and other matters.
03:554 to 5 committees have been formed.
03:58And as soon as their report comes.
04:02In the report of those committees.
04:05The decision will be made in light.
04:07We will keep you updated on this.
04:09Thank you very much.
04:10Our representatives were with us.
04:12We talked about cricket.
04:13We will talk about the Euro Cup.
04:15And England has made a place in the final of the Euro Cup.
04:19After a sensational match.
04:21Let's show you the details of the defeat to the Netherlands 2 to 1.
04:25Viewers.
04:26To talk about the final of the Euro Cup.
04:28And the performance in the semi-final.
04:30Football analyst Ali Tayyab is with us in the studio.
04:33Ali, Assalamualaikum.
04:34Welcome to the show.
04:35Walaikum Assalam.
04:36Ali, first of all, I would like to know.
04:38This game between England and the Netherlands.
04:40It was great.
04:42The thing is.
04:43The way England is playing.
04:45There is a lot of criticism.
04:47But if you look at their past.
04:51In 48 years.
04:52England has succeeded in 6 knockouts.
04:55Whereas.
04:56After coming to Southgate as a manager.
04:587 knockout games in 7 years.
05:01Including 2 finals.
05:021 semi-final.
05:031 quarter-final.
05:04And this final.
05:05Then why is there so much criticism on their game play?
05:08If anyone remembers.
05:09In the Euros of 2016.
05:11Iceland eliminated them.
05:13And there was a lot of criticism.
05:14After that, there is Gareth Southgate.
05:16It is the style of play, Najeeb.
05:18The way they adapt their style.
05:20See, when we were Lampard, Gerrard, Scholes.
05:23Owen, Beckham.
05:24It was said that it is the golden generation.
05:26But after that.
05:27This generation is also the golden generation.
05:30You have Jude Bellingham.
05:31Who is the La Liga player of the year.
05:33He won the Champions League with Real Madrid.
05:35La Liga won.
05:36You have Phil Foden.
05:37Premier League player of the year.
05:39Who won the Champions League last year.
05:41With Manchester City.
05:42This year.
05:43And won the Premier League last year.
05:44You have Bacayo Saka.
05:46Who is Arsenal's player of the season.
05:47You have Skyle Walkery.
05:48You have the best players individually.
05:50Who won the Champions League with Manchester City.
05:52This year.
05:53And won the Premier League last year.
05:54You have Bacayo Saka.
05:56Who is Arsenal's player of the season.
05:58You have Skyle Walkery.
05:59You have the best players individually.
06:01It is a very good team.
06:02It is the style of management.
06:04Or the style of play.
06:05Let's talk about Olly Watkins.
06:07Who scored a goal in the 89th minute 59 seconds.
06:11Which is called the latest of late goals.
06:14And you are bringing him to the tournament for the first time.
06:18You only need a few minutes to score.
06:19Why are you feeding Cain?
06:21Cain has been ineffective.
06:23He came to take the penalty.
06:24The penalty was won.
06:25But over the course of the tournament.
06:27You see England's laborious performance.
06:29But you are saying that Cain is the captain.
06:31Remove the captain.
06:32It is the informed performance.
06:35With Bayern Munich.
06:36The set-up with Bayern Munich.
06:38For so many years.
06:39The German league was cut off.
06:41Harry Cain came.
06:42He did not win this year.
06:43Point of the matter is.
06:44What is the effect of Harry Cain?
06:45It is like Ronaldo.
06:47He is not at his prime.
06:48The shelf life has passed.
06:49Exactly.
06:50He is not at his prime.
06:51He is not taking anything away from him.
06:52Of course.
06:53The game has changed.
06:54They have played in this World Cup.
06:56With 5 man defence.
06:57Euros.
06:58Sorry.
06:59In this Euros.
07:005 man defence.
07:01They played like this yesterday.
07:02Is it working for them?
07:04It is not working for England.
07:06The team like Serbia and England.
07:08The way they are ranked.
07:09In the first game of Serbia.
07:10They won 1-0.
07:11They drew 2 group games.
07:13Against Switzerland.
07:16You see them.
07:17They trailed.
07:18Against Netherlands.
07:19They trailed.
07:20Against Slovakia.
07:21They were trailing.
07:22But that shows a lot of character.
07:23In every game.
07:24After going back.
07:25After taking the goal.
07:26They came back.
07:27This is their positive.
07:29But look at the difference in the teams.
07:31It's Switzerland.
07:32It's Slovakia.
07:33England should have been putting these sides away.
07:37The game would have been over.
07:38But they are going in extra time.
07:40We will talk about Spain.
07:41You will know.
07:42They have won 6 out of 6 games.
07:44Brazil.
07:452002 World Cup winning team.
07:47They made a record with those 7.
07:49The way Spain played.
07:50We will talk about that.
07:51But this is the issue of England.
07:53The kind of players they have.
07:54They are not utilizing it properly.
07:56Not the set up.
07:57In Switzerland.
07:58They had to change.
07:59He had to go to a 5 man defense.
08:01He made wing backs full backs.
08:033 man defense.
08:04Then he used them for attacking.
08:06Why did you have to change the strategy?
08:08Did you know that you are in the best 11 tournament?
08:11As far as you said.
08:14They are in the final.
08:16Second consecutive final.
08:17This time England's path.
08:20I am sorry.
08:21Considering Spain's path.
08:22Has been relatively easy.
08:23Relatively easy.
08:24Very easy.
08:25But you talked about England's star players.
08:27That they have skill.
08:28Talent.
08:29Good players.
08:30But if you see.
08:31In 2004-2006.
08:32They were not there at that time.
08:34After Southgate's arrival.
08:36They are moving towards winning.
08:39Earlier they didn't win.
08:40With massive names.
08:42Superstars.
08:43Yes.
08:44Because Southgate.
08:45The thing is.
08:46Football.
08:47Like any other thing.
08:48Is result oriented.
08:49At the end of the day.
08:50England won.
08:51And that.
08:52That matters.
08:53And that defender himself.
08:54In Middlesbrough.
08:55Defensive mindset.
08:56I talked about him.
08:57I talked about Bakaya Saka.
08:58In my post-match interview.
08:59His focus was.
09:00I like those players.
09:01Who do their defensive duties.
09:02Attack.
09:03But track back.
09:04Which means.
09:05You have to run more.
09:06If you talk about Ronaldo.
09:07He is there.
09:08In the box.
09:09Half line.
09:10He won't track back.
09:11He won't defend.
09:12Kane won't do that.
09:13But Southgate.
09:14Being so defensive minded.
09:15So fans.
09:16British media.
09:17Have this.
09:18You have so much.
09:19Attacking prowess.
09:20Why don't you.
09:21Attack accordingly.
09:22So that.
09:23You should have been putting.
09:24Those games away.
09:25Early on.
09:26Spain.
09:27You see.
09:28Those.
09:29Foreign.
09:30Foreign.
09:31They.
09:32Go for.
09:33England.
09:34At the end.
09:35You have so much.
09:36Attacking prowess.
09:37Utilize that.
09:38And win the game.
09:39This is the point.
09:40That.
09:41Our potential.
09:42Gareth Southgate.
09:43The players available.
09:44He can't.
09:45Utilize his set up.
09:46His formations.
09:47Properly.
09:48What went wrong.
09:49With the Netherlands.
09:50I think.
09:51Netherlands.
09:52Inexperience.
09:53Obviously.
09:54He's a.
09:55Experienced.
09:56Campaigner.
09:57Champions League.
09:58Premier League.
09:59Defensively.
10:00He's a good player.
10:01He's a good player.
10:02He's a good player.
10:03He's a good player.
10:04He's a good player.
10:05He's a good player.
10:06He's a good player.
10:07He's a good player.
10:08He's a good player.
10:09He's a good player.
10:10He's a good player.
10:11He's a good player.
10:12He's a good player.
10:13He's a good player.
10:14He's a good player.
10:15He's a good player.
10:16He's a good player.
10:17He's a good player.
10:18He's a good player.
10:19He's a good player.
10:20He's a good player.
10:21He's a good player.
10:22He's a good player.
10:23He's a good player.
10:24He's a good player.
10:25He's a good player.
10:26He's a good player.
10:27He's a good player.
10:28He's a good player.
10:29He's a good player.
10:30He's a good player.
10:31He's a good player.
10:32He's a good player.
10:33He's a good player.
10:34He's a good player.
10:35He's a good player.
10:36He's a good player.
10:37He's a good player.
10:38He's a good player.
10:39He's a good player.
10:40He's a good player.
10:41He's a good player.
10:42He's a good player.
10:43He's a good player.
10:44He's a good player.
10:45He's a good player.
10:46He's a good player.
10:47He's a good player.
10:48He's a good player.
10:49He's a good player.
10:50Let's talk about the first semi-final so that we can move towards the final and what to
10:53expect from the big game.
10:56The match between France and Spain, obviously, the way Spain is playing football, the way
11:01we're going to talk about it in the future, it won't be easy for England.
11:05And they keep possession to themselves as much as possible.
11:08That's the strategy we see in Barca.
11:10Yes, against France also it was 60-40, 59-39.
11:14And it's France's high-press football.
11:16And France wasn't able to counter the press accordingly.
11:19I think France was lucky to go ahead.
11:21Spain should have scored the first goal.
11:23But we saw Lamine Yamal at 16 years.
11:27Yeah, he's so young.
11:29And Yamal is so talented.
11:31I was very impressed.
11:32After one goal, back-to-back there were two goals.
11:35And Yamal played a great role.
11:38At 16 years, 361 days, in any major tournament, after Pele in the 1958 World Cup,
11:44which he scored against Wales, he becomes the youngest player now.
11:48And this record will go on for a long time.
11:50And what a fabulous goal it was to put.
11:52I think as far as France is concerned, France never got going, just like England.
11:57Exactly.
11:58In this Euro, neither did you see Ronaldo like this.
12:03Obviously, he's aging.
12:04You didn't see that rhythm of Mbappe.
12:08These were the things that were missing in big stars.
12:12Absolutely, in big stars.
12:13France is also a very star-studded team.
12:15They have a very good team.
12:16They've got some very, very big names.
12:18But Usman Dembele never notched up a gear.
12:23We were hoping that their experience would come through.
12:26If you look at Spain's side, it's a mix of youth.
12:28So Hernández and Mbappe had clear chances in this game.
12:31Absolutely, Mbappe should have been scoring.
12:33On the left wing, you have a clear run, you just have to cross.
12:36And he got an open goal, but he skied it.
12:38Hernández also took it from his wrong foot.
12:41There are two more chances at this level, which you should be putting away.
12:44You should have scored.
12:45You should have scored.
12:46You should have scored.
12:47You should have scored.
12:48You should have scored.
12:49You should have scored.
12:50You should have scored.
12:51You should have scored.
12:52You should have scored.
12:53You should have scored.
12:54You should have scored.
12:55You should have scored.
12:56You should have scored.
12:57You should have scored.
12:58You should have scored.
12:59You should have scored.
13:00You should have scored.
13:01You should have scored.
13:02You should have scored.
13:03You should have scored.
13:04You should have scored.
13:05You should have scored.
13:06You should have scored.
13:07You should have scored.
13:08You should have scored.
13:09You should have scored.
13:10You should have scored.
13:11You should have scored.
13:12You should have scored.
13:13So Hernandez and Mbappe got clear chances in this game.
13:16Absolutely.
13:17Mbappe should have been scoring.
13:18He scored.
13:19On the left wing, you have a clear run.
13:20You just have to cross.
13:21And he got the open goal.
13:23But he skied it.
13:24Hernandez took it with his wrong foot.
13:26There are two more chances at this level,
13:27which you should be putting away.
13:29That is the way the game used to be won.
13:31But Spain, you know, with their imperious form.
13:33They have won 6 for 6.
13:35Neither did they draw a game or lost a game.
13:36Yes, they have won all their games.
13:39So, the path to the final was really tough for them.
13:42Absolutely. And who was expecting?
13:43I mean, this is the team in which you can see
13:46that Carvajal, in the semi-final, was suspended
13:50and Pedri was injured.
13:52After that, Olmo, who steps in, scored again.
13:55That day, when Pedri was injured, he came in,
13:57he scored a goal.
13:58Against France, he stepped in and he scored the winning goal.
14:01So, you have to see that Spain has an abundance of talent.
14:06And let's talk about their manager,
14:08Luis Delefonte.
14:10Amazing performance.
14:11I'm surprised that Spain has such amazing managers.
14:14We saw Vicente del Bosque.
14:16I mean, he was amazing.
14:18I think a lot of people comment on the fact
14:22that La Misia, the academy in Barcelona,
14:26I mean, Lamaal is also coming from there.
14:28You see, what a prodigy.
14:30And the kind of style they play,
14:33I mean, that high-press, high-pass, tiki-taka, short passes,
14:37that's fast-paced football.
14:39If you look at England,
14:41the finals will be relatively slow.
14:43Although, if we look at the league,
14:44the English Premier League is very fast-paced.
14:47So, England have to up their game.
14:49It's not just the individual names.
14:51They won't be able to defend for five minutes.
14:53Spain has the energy.
14:56So, let's talk about the final now
14:58because you're going in the same direction.
15:00In Spain, if we say that they have an inexperienced side,
15:06but they bring in young, talented, amazing tactics
15:11and they boost the energy.
15:13That won't be easy with five-man defence
15:16and Southgate, as a defender,
15:19who is a defender himself,
15:21will they be able to work against Spain?
15:23I think it's difficult.
15:24You've seen in cricket in Australia,
15:26the wickets keep falling.
15:27Their run rate keeps increasing.
15:30You saw that day when they conceded a goal against France,
15:34they did not stop playing
15:34and they got their equaliser right away.
15:37Then, they scored another goal.
15:39So, it's a slow-paced game.
15:41If you don't sit down, don't close down,
15:44don't press, you will allow,
15:46then they will press and you will have the entire defensive line.
15:50In such situations,
15:52they have such intricate and defence-splitting passes
15:55that you won't be able to defend.
15:58So, England will have to come with a counter-plan
16:00and they will have to press.
16:03The problem with England is that they are allowing the opposition
16:05to have more time on the ball.
16:07And in football, this is blunderous.
16:10So, they will have to come up with a counter-plan.
16:11It's not just the defensive duties of the attacking players
16:13to come and close down.
16:15You have to press.
16:16The more you press...
16:18Jose Mourinho used to do this tactic.
16:19Jürgen Klopp defeated Man City in Liverpool in 2020
16:23or came close to one point in the last two or three years.
16:25He came through this counter-press tactics.
16:27So, England would have to deploy those counter-press tactics
16:30in order to stop Spain.
16:32Otherwise, it will be very difficult.
16:34And I don't think that after Olly Watkins' performance yesterday,
16:37the cameos he did and the winning goal he scored,
16:39Harry Kane would be able to keep up with the pace of Spain.
16:41That is the problem.
16:42Because we have seen...
16:44Sometimes, I feel that Harry Kane
16:47is walking sideways.
16:50I mean, his energy goes down.
16:53Absolutely. And obviously,
16:55high pace... Saka is young. Foden is young.
16:57And we saw Foden yesterday.
16:59The free-flowing role that Pep Guardiola gives to Man City
17:02was allowed by Southgate.
17:03So, he had a few shots.
17:05He had the best game of his tournament so far yesterday.
17:08He hit a post.
17:10And another shot was on target.
17:13So, we will have to see if Saka...
17:16You have seen on Defensive Beauties
17:17that Saka scored a sizzling goal on winning goal that day.
17:20An equalizing goal.
17:21So, you will have to give free-flowing roles to your best footballers,
17:25in order for you to have a chance against Spain.
17:29Considering Spain as the opposition for the final,
17:32what do you think are the key players of England?
17:35For me, Saka and Jude Bellingham.
17:38Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden.
17:39One is in the number 10 position, and the other is on your right wing.
17:43And they make Foden play on the left wing.
17:45What do they do? We will have to see.
17:47But I think,
17:48Jude Bellingham should play behind the striker.
17:52I think, you should start Olive Watkins instead of Kane.
17:56Or at least, if you do start Kane,
17:57play him for a half.
17:58And in the second half, as an impact substitute,
18:01use Olive Watkins.
18:02Don't play Karen Trippier.
18:04Trent... We saw yesterday
18:06that he wasn't there at all.
18:08They had to substitute him at half-time
18:09and bring in Luke Shaw.
18:11Either you start Luke Shaw or Trent Alexander-Arnold.
18:14You had a fabulous season again with Liverpool.
18:16Do you think Southgate has a lot of choices to make?
18:19He is spoiled for choices.
18:21That's the problem.
18:21And he is not able to determine which player is best for which position.
18:26That's the problem.
18:27Because every player individually is so good.
18:30If you look at the backup keeper,
18:33starting from the back after Pickford,
18:34you have Aaron Ramsdale.
18:36But there are some obvious choices.
18:38Kane is not up to the level.
18:39In the entire tournament, you can see Kane as a weak link.
18:42Okay. And if we talk about Spain,
18:44key players for Spain for this big game?
18:46You see, Pedry is injured.
18:47But Danny Carvajal will be right back.
18:49Obviously, Yamal is now in the headlines.
18:53If you look at Olmo, Nico Williams is with him.
18:57If Pedry had come, he would be also there.
19:00But the main driving force
19:03who is continuously giving so many titles to Manchester City,
19:06Rodri,
19:07he is the main person.
19:08He is a defensive midfielder.
19:10He breaks down all the attacks.
19:11He has a ball distribution out to attacking players.
19:14He has been fabulous throughout the season
19:17and previous season for Manchester City
19:18and in this tournament, again, he has been the driving force
19:21because of which players like Pedry, Olmo, they have thrived.
19:25So, I think if there is any chance,
19:27Rice will have to be on his toes
19:29so that he doesn't let Rodri break the play.
19:31Because they are similar players, they have the same defensive duties.
19:34If you were asked today
19:36what will be the final score and who will win?
19:40Look, Spain is going to score.
19:41There is no doubt.
19:42They are not going to stop.
19:43They are not going to stop.
19:44They have scored in every match.
19:46They have never lost a game in extra time.
19:49They have won every game in normal time.
19:51And they have scored 3-4 goals.
19:53They have won 2-1.
19:55Germany has lost 2-1.
19:56And their path has been very difficult.
19:57Yeah, true.
19:58You are defeating France in the semi-final.
20:01You are playing against Germany in the quarter-final.
20:03So, obviously, your pick is Spain.
20:06Thank you so much, Ali, for your analysis and your opinion.
20:09That's all for today's program.
20:11Give your host, Najeeb-ul-Hasnain, your permission.
20:13Take care.
20:15Allah Hafiz.
