enough to go out and celebrate with fans. that pretty much proves how interconnected europe is right. europe seems to be drifting apart and not just because britain is leading the e.u. let's get pretty. nationalist and euro skeptic political movements are gaining ground all over the continent can football do what politics can't and reunite europe. this man had a bright idea that might help. me. were looking all over europe to see where football could really make a difference. and where things might get tricky. well accompanied by an stars as they visit a couple of fan clubs in the boonies now on kick off. i.

brad pitt but. he's just as comfortable on the pitch as in the fans' clubhouse thomas millen superstar and a regular guy all at once byron's bedrock stopped by the supporters and he will meeting and party he had a blast even if the fans haven't forgotten his team struggles to make so many people happy yes some of them lose. so there's a here who sticks together you lost as well for sure yeah but there was nothing i could do so easy to say your mistake was watching it. that's how it goes when biron mingle with their diehard fans it's all about access fans and players are rarely disclose exciting times for supporters and pros. this is philippe coutinho 1st time taking it all in a priscilla at the foot of the alps flanked by trumpets and accordions the midfield maestro gets a taste for barry in traditions. it's graceland important to be here celebrating

with the fans most of the usual question we've all got the same age the people here are getting behind us every going to close up when we're a family it's a moment when. the baron family is a tight knit one even when they're not running away with the league nicholas zuma who's been shelved with the injury since october is staying positive to. fans who dropped by heard some good means because i think i'm a bit ahead of schedule i'm definitely aiming for euro 2020. at the moment so i believe i can i will make the most of that's what i'm working towards every day. with their close connections zealand tenafly and coach earn points on the pitch in the hearts of their fans. glass shop keeper yani sama is another player endearing himself to his fans we are now. it's his game. john zama is

mentioned last man between the sticks ready and reliable he shines brightest against the biggest opponents. good for me i'm sorry but what makes him so down your ball for club ask oliver comes about to tell us. there's always a lot of talk about how tall a keeper has to vary 83 is far from the tallest but here against a close range header he demonstrates how you can compensate for that short to reach with excellent elasticity it enables him to get across and pull this one away. by last and. that's a very good cyber check out so what we're seeing is a fine goalkeeper to that. now we'll see how a top keeper deals with a shot from that angle on the counter-attack zama takes himself to the near post

takes a couple of steps forward he's perfectly positioned and also shifts his went on to his left leg to have the best chance of getting down to big shots. perfect can also make calls cuts you see with his fingertips strong fingers that's right so. it's actually quite surprising gladbach higher in 1st 20 check the stats on average they cost up to 15 shots on goal a game that's at the time the league's other top teams give up half as many. we have to work on making it harder for us to create chances against us it's a problem we need to get to grips with. they recognize the problem but maybe this has helped make some or so strong in one on ones. in this situation muscle sabots is the only option is to aim for young somers left corner he's anticipating that already in a fraction of us. he also has to decide whether to make the save with his left hand

boys running the league or have already guessed that he opts for what we call here because how it's run and it's the right choice otherwise he couldn't just drop the ball this is if he can do so. as it meant a lot because this illustrates hands on as incredible as jealousy on the lines back up and this is what we mean by keeper having quick feet and he's so good and here we also see how he picks the perfect angle down to get down in a flash for the safety net is a very good start from something i thought about it our last examples another tricky ball for you here he has to slightly adjust his position as well as i know making it even harder to get down that basically it's another great strength is that having to go down and only being able to conscionable to the front he's like being fast with the follow up to secure it so on up to the 2nd string you know it's going by him and possibly even byron striker extraordinarily bad leaven dosti was

foiled by his own mom put all this in a nutshell for us mr khan. yams almost maintaining a fine swiss goalkeeping tradition of going to sleep that he's getting ever closer to being truly world class. passion drama competition marketing numbers hotness here power fight at intuition love hate money cash millionaire fans friends but us and in fact. if football is life life is going quite well it shall go well but you know just what there's. right. after last season it sounds

like a fairy tale shall car on course for the champions league but thanks to a new coach and new spirit and a new game plan it's really happening. that a shout goes went. to the spin unexpected for all of us given how miserable last season was. shell to have a totally new mentality a collective spirit sure they're winning a lot and the team is delivering on the field but it's all about the nuance of their game. in the 15th everyone gets on well together we can all share. this wasn't always the case after years of disordered shell to have again achieved a state of harmony which is key for such a big club. are on a roll and it's not a coincidence this is been planned to

a team. from here coach david bach not. you know a change of courage can sometimes have a huge effect on that same you know what's happened here he talks a lot with tries to squeeze out the marks of. new coach david fatness suited up and royal blue himself as a player he knows exactly what makes shall kotick his secret staying realistic while making sure the whole team embraces his plans we know where we come from we know that we have to be very humble and we know that we have a long way to go we know that we. shall cause position in the table in december is just step one gagner wants even more. the table isn't important after 13 a game said to the board night at the end of the season after 34 games and this is why it's only a moment where we are a good moment. does that make this

a good moment for. daniel cali duty has undergone a transition of his own back in a shift to the outside back into the midfield and shoulders attack immediately became more potent and i'm predictable there is challenge your rate is still really what bazza seem. certainly on talent you're a. very happy playing in that position is closer to the opposition. childcare playing their most refreshing football in years it all comes from their mentality as seen in the winner against on your own. but by the word ah. ha. and where his journey takes them. it's always hard to say but getting back into europe would be a good way to end the season. shall because football fairy tale marches on.

and things on europe and what football can see for the continent of. europe is crumbling. can't put it together. on such a simple game such a complicated continent we set out on a quest for clues because the state of affairs is complex this breaks it and emerging nationalist tendencies in every corner. the national rally from. the freedom party of austria. germany. hungary to name just a few. all over the continent populists putting national interests ahead of the european ideal. and football. so for unite your.

number one our beloved pool game has been raised worked it's just easy it's just fun. politics can be exhausting but i'm astonished that we've gone through a pool with european championships all celebrating their 60th anniversary of the 1st tournament back in 1960 a grand total of 4 teams took part. this time 24 teams will compete across 12 european countries. the idea of sharing the tournament across the continent came from the show me. city this or that but i do look. at me with the little local. teacher needing. that was back in 2012 and he has since been banned from

football for corruption but he's still the father of this unusual tournament and what has he given europe with his wild idea back then the situation wasn't quite as precarious as it was today perhaps it was an unintentional struggle genius. let's dig a little dig at historic events that will ensure the tournament fills prettiest between nations and fans building bridges wouldn't be a bad thing but it's complicated on the way to the tournament pool of these possible qualifying encounters to be avoided for political reasons in other words if these countries will have to be free from one another even under one of the same european. possible qualify things get really tricky russia spain romania and azerbaijan 4 of the host countries still haven't even recognized kosovo as an independent state if they had to display. the flag and play

the i am them it could cause serious political complications. it doesn't sound as if could really make a difference here. at least the mascot with its his head cut might please the masses but can it accomplish what i'm going to america and boris johnson cause. let's look back at a case from the past the last world cup in 20. 4 while many feared traveling to russia because of the unruly local news. during the tournament the fans had a great time in russia everyone got along and the world celebrated a peaceful festival before. this time russia will host matches once more the same features. entanglements around the globe might be on people's minds before they think of booking. the game group people together in 28 c.

and it can do in 2020. russia is only one of many stages to understand the full picture we need to know who know what i'm the way. these 12 cities will host at least 3 group stage matches if a host nation qualifies their current team to play some games at home so we already know about st petersburg the tournament kicks off in broke. the opening match is on the 12th of june at the olympic stadium. outbreaks of violence are common in italian football grounds fascist fans are tolerated and many clubs and racism in the country is on the march. to counter it it's a these football federation is a part of. anti discrimination campaign. this will be the country's 10th time taking. the euro they won

a once in $168.00. can entirely a do it again. installment the games will be held at glasgow's hamilton park. in football as in politics scotland is divided and glasgow is home to one of europe's most explosive. it's a rivalry closely tied to religion. catholic celtic was founded by irish immigrants rangers shaped by protestant. last to dodge greg 6 scotland are touring with the ideal seating for me ok while celtic fans are of no single mind on the issue most rangers supporters want to remain in the united. missing that the euros on likely to be able to bring. the boom rolling in the netherlands in the johan cruyff

arena. at a recent dutch 2nd division match between dane boss and excelsior winger mad men dismal railroad was subjected to racist abuse from the stands the game had to be interrupted. if so. yeah best. shot emotional football reacts. the next match day dutch teams from the top 2 divisions stood still during the 1st minute of their matches to take a stand against racist. yet more proof that can bring about political change. and honestly something like this is worth more than any politician speak. romanian looks forward to hosting at bucharest some national arena the remain ians may. their chance for direct qualification but could still make it through the

playoffs to do so would be a milestone for this country all for nothing and for years there have been protests against government corruption economically and politically romanians long to finally arrive in europe. a large european sporting event could certainly help the country and the capital bucharest with its 2000000 inhabitants. azerbaijan's capital back is also a city but is it even. where does the border lie more about that like. denmark is another host stadium in copenhagen. wouldn't it be great if denmark could recreate that was fear of 9092 when they sensationally went all the way. to certain danish players don't have it all too easy for the moment unfortunately because of the color of their skin. the fear of the foreign

is sadly widespread in the country. the stadium san mom is is situated in the bell hill valve is situated in the bus country of northern spain. the spanish national team haven't played in the basque country since 1967 just like the catalans the past people want their will tanami told the spain games be considered a home or away match those. who have us fighting for independence surely wants nothing to do with europe right or wrong. the boss feel their roots stem from the heart of the continent. so it will be interesting to see whether bilbao would celebrate what would be a 4th championship for the spanish. in ireland there are more sheep than people. and the euros will take place here to be

a viva stadium in topic. europe is regarded highly in ireland because it's done so much for the local economy anything else. on we go from dublin to budapest with few days hungary has for years had a government that's what's with europe there are serious problems here with freedom of expression judicial independence and the rights of refugees. the games will be played at the newly built fed ense push guys say. now let's head to germany to the audience arena in munich germany have made it to the euros every time since 1972 with 3 titles so far 2020 will be their 13th time at the top. the german team is comprised of players from various cultural backgrounds.

a lot of things fun for 2 and a respect to these and i think if you come and see me feel on top of him and he should not have dimensional from head of the man says no to the shot of. the wholesome for the good example then for german society currently dealing with the alarming growth of the far right euro skeptic i have seen that 2024 is gets closer . the host of the $24.00 will be germany. interesting but now it's still about $22.00 and. the tournament will reach its climax at the wembley stadium in london this is where the semifinals and the final will take place and a new european champion will be crowned. london england the motherland of breaking. down how exactly is the european idea supposed to be revitalized here of play. he says i'm english team is

a solid contender imagine an unknown european european champion winning the european championship outside of europe. let's hope that boris johnson is not the only one who knows europe. your way it's clear that you wrote 2020 should be a celebration for europeans and. but how exactly will it be for the support is. what if no one shows up in back to azerbaijan that could easily be the case. there is plenty going against this case. first of all azerbaijan's team haven't qualified that was more or less clear from the start. secondly this

post so be a country has been accused of human rights abuses and violations of freedom of speech in the 2800 democracy index azerbaijan came in 149 out of 167 countries. arsenal midfielder henrik mkhitaryan didn't feel safe enough to enter the country for the europa league final base year as an armenian he feared for his life. thirdly the atmosphere at that europa league final between chelsea and also was miserable in azerbaijan no one's really all that fussed about for a. side note there will be reports about why this location was chosen for the european championship in the 1st place and maybe some suggestions that money from the u.a.e. for sponsors so caught was behind it one of the biggest power companies in azerbaijan they'll be told about human rights and it will become clear that football and politics are taught the intertwined and that as a part john is using football. the stage of which to promote since there's no 2

ways about it football is political. then there's the problem distance some 4400 kilometers separate back and dublin isn't that a bit. little but it's a lot of conclude you. suppose it's a new office in the question of just so that there can be emptied new subsystem to . those who can aggressively hoshi the city is. missing brutally from both of the world so oregon is of suppose it's a. just. just in addition to the ones in the us. and that he puts a few of them off addition the fuzzy in those that often call them until a few of them. ok so those who have the means and the time can hop around europe to the different 1st cities one can learn

a lot about the countries the people and above all the concept. will find euro 2020 could be a fantastic learning experience they can expand their horizons learn about european ideas and cultures and overcome barriers and misconceptions that goes for those who stay at home and watch on t.v. . but what does that really mean can football you not europe or not. europe still be a divided continent up to the tournament. or will all europeans unite together in harmony. we admit it's complicated. football will surely leave behind some positive traces off to the tournament in every european country. and we don't have to agree with everything other states in europe do or allow but we also don't have to criticize every bit of things. the point structure

football alone cannot be jura of hostile nationalist tendencies but football can function as a useful tool to show politics that we is better than me especially when it's plays all over the european comes. to. food. on the.
