00:00The King's League World Cup semi-finalists, the players of the Moroccan team, arrived in Morocco yesterday after having made a historic performance at this world tournament.
00:29The players of the national team made a triumphant return to the kingdom by landing at Rabasale airport.
00:48All expressed their pride in having made the Moroccan flag shine at this tournament in Italy.
00:54Morocco created the surprise at this world tournament by winning the lost semi-final against Colombia in Buzan.
01:01A superb performance that would even make the creators of the King's League, the former Spanish international Gerard Piqué, want to organize an African tournament in Morocco in the future.
01:19The Casablanca UDF officially announced yesterday the signing of the Moroccan international Fed Moufi from the Croatian club Iduk Split.
01:28The player signed with the Casablanca club for a period of one and a half years.
01:32This recruitment meets the wishes of South African coach Roulani Mokouena, who is trying to strengthen the team's defense during this winter mercato.
01:41The WAC is based on the international experience and Moufi's professional career, who has already played 10 games this season in the Croatian championship.
01:49In addition, it is expected that the club will announce other movements in its staff during this transfer period, whether new recruits or departures, depending on the needs and objectives of the team.
02:02Leaders of the Premier League and the most impressive team in Europe at the moment, Liverpool are moving to Nottingham Forest.
02:11This is the third and surprise of the start of the season for the 21st day of the English championship.
02:16Unbeaten in the championship since 14 games, the Reds have six points ahead of their opponents in the rankings, with a game in minus one.
02:25But a defeat on their part could start the race for the title and make Arsenal's affairs their closest pursuers.
02:31Nottingham's dynamic is no less impressive.
02:35The men of Nuno Espirito Santo have just won six straight wins in the Premier League, led by the international from New Zealand, Chris Wood,
02:43with 12 goals already and can safely aim further than their initial goal.
02:49In front of Mohamed Salah's bench, with 18 goals in 19 Premier League games, they will go through a test of nature.
03:01I've always said that you can judge the table best halfway through the season, and that's the case today.
03:06So if Nottingham Forest is with us, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City and all the others,
03:13then it's definitely a team that's in competition with us and all the other teams.
03:18And they deserve to be treated that way if you look at their way of playing and if you look at their results.
03:24It will be a very difficult challenge tomorrow to get a result.
03:32I think they already showed in retrospect how good of a team they are.
03:39Before this game, I think they were 2-0 down and 1-1 up.
03:43That's why, in general, every time Liverpool lose a home game, it's something we don't expect.
03:49I think at that point, I also saw the statistics, according to which Virgil van Dijk played 100 home games with Liverpool and only lost once.
03:57So for me, losing that day was difficult to accept, as you probably experienced.
04:03Now, looking back and seeing where they are in the league, this result is not as shocking as I thought it would be at the time.
04:11And again, for the 21st day of the Premier League, another duel to follow earlier in the evening will see Brentford and Manchester City face off.
04:20Two teams that do not share the same ambitions before the kick-off.
04:24The last member of the top six with six points behind on the podium.
04:27The group led by Pep Guardiola wants to take advantage of a good dynamic to make his comeback to the rankings.
04:33Chelsea or Arsenal being sick, this is not the time to waste such an opportunity at the accounting level.
04:38Putting aside the easy win against Salford in the FA Cup, the citizens have imposed themselves with style against Leicester City and West Ham
04:47thanks to their new sensational duo, Haaland-Savigno.
04:51The meeting is expected to be complicated for Brentford.
04:54A reaction from the men led by Thomas Frank is expected, but this proves one thing.
04:59A constant irregularity has been invading the London club for several weeks.
05:03If the Reds and Blacks do not show their best faces, the Black Series is likely to continue at the end of the regular season.
05:15Of course, we won three games, whereas before, it was impossible for us to win one.
05:20Now, we have won three, and that helps us.
05:23But the reality is that we beat a team from Salford City in the last game,
05:28with a difference between the Premier League and the lower divisions, and the budget of both teams.
05:33And for many reasons, we had to win, and we did very well.
05:37But we still have to wait to see if we are still what we were.
05:41But of course, the atmosphere is better.
05:43We have an extremely difficult game.
05:45What happened in recent seasons is that Thomas Frank's team has always created problems.
05:50My team is a fantastic team, but at the same time, we have to know why we play.
05:59I don't know. I don't know what I expect from the start of the season, from the team.
06:03I want these players to come back.
06:05I know that Rodri is impossible, he is the only one.
06:07But what I want is for the others to come back.
06:09If that were the case, we would not have gone to the transfer window this season,
06:13and we would not be in the position we are in.
06:15But we fight all season, and people say,
06:17Rodri, Rodri, there is not only Rodri.
06:19We have had a lot of problems, especially at the level of the defenders.
06:22And it is always the case.
06:25This is the reason why the club is thinking about what it will do during this transfer window, or maybe this summer.
06:34Another shock to follow in Italy.
06:36Now, Atalanta-Bergam, installed on the third step of the podium,
06:39receives Juventus-Turin, 5th to 9 units from its opponent of the day,
06:44tonight at the Dewey Stadium, on the occasion of the 19th day of Serie A.
06:48Strong of this success in eight meetings in Bergam in Calcio,
06:52the Bergam club is almost untouchable at home,
06:55where only the promoted Como came to take points,
06:58with a 3-2 win,
07:00best home attack with 25 goals in 8 receptions,
07:03an average of more than 3 achievements per meeting.
07:06Gian Piero Gasperini's formation will try to make the old lady fall
07:10for the first time this season in the league,
07:12with her 7 wins and 12 draws,
07:14with 5 parity scores in 9 trips.
07:17The Turin club remains on a point-sharing
07:20during the derby at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino,
07:23a result that should wake up the Bianconeri,
07:27according to the Piedmontese coach Tiago Motta.
07:34The group is slowly recovering from the derby.
07:37It is important to recover physically and mentally.
07:41At the same time, they are angry that we did not win,
07:44but now we are fully focused on the next important match
07:48against Atalanta,
07:50a team that is going through a good period
07:52and we are going to give our best to beat them.
08:04We are the first to be opposed to not having won.
08:08This was repeated in the last match,
08:10we were better than our opponent
08:12and we created chances in the second half
08:15to take the advantage,
08:17but we did not succeed.
08:19We have to work, work, work.
08:22It's good not to be happy,
08:24but we have to be convinced that our work is good
08:27and that we are doing a good job.
