i'm with the broccoli string app. to find more. don't t.v. . perfectly clear. to her. hello and welcome to sophie and co i'm selfish ever not said a fifth out world cup two thousand and eighteen is in full swing here in russia streets are flooded with fans and tourists especially here behind me in a red square but what does that mean for the players on the ground while i ask a legendary french football player a winner of the world cup and here are a couple christian. biggest sporting events in the

world is heating up the fever world cup is moving into the playoff stage where there are no second chances and everything is at stake how do the world class players deal with the world class pressure who will break down under the weight of expectations and who will thrive under it and what exactly does it take to emerge victorious from the greece stage sports has to offer. christian hi welcome to our show it's really great to have you with us so are you finding moscow so far are you enjoying it. do so because first of all it's very attractive. so for everybody going to discover what is russia and what is most of those will come because there are all the cities with all the venues and i think they turn to the way to see what is russia because it's beautiful the sun is with us indeed the people who like to be here now are russian it's not your first time here is it no

it's the same line come with preconditions and you knew that it was a cool place yeah i think russia is very beautiful places to go and to be. and again you are here we must see the site we have the museum. but we have also the risk. for sure that we would not only risk with many other thing to visit. churches you have beautiful architecture so so far when you discover more. so you have literally held in your hands. yes through what is away. this is a dream come true since years ago we left in france in the homeland we hope that russia can do so. but again. like i said a story of mine if i may say that i need to be selfish because when i was young

i didn't understand that i could. step by step working gradually become better and better and to be the others and to be the same level as the other profession and of course to become world champion is just something unique and a great experience but does it actually feel as good as you think it will because you know people have this notion of happiness a goal that you want to reach and there once you reach it many say it was the process that was really important to bed with and enjoy the process because that moment is not as ecstatic as we thought in our imagination it is a static to hold the world cup but it imagine no because you see here like you see these hold the ways the pathway how you you reach your goal. is this is prepare yourself to be the one to live the trophy or not because too many obstacles

there are too many temptations in your way and you need to avoid that you need to be very precise and to achieve this goal and daily need to work and to have also the commitment we do to him to make because the team work and you need to be with them together as one but then that there are a lot of. this isn't shirt and shorts or process because like if you take one year span it's approximately one thirty eight games for each team too late so like you know good number and you can actually work hard and put yourself on the map. to teams yes there will be less games will be the thing is. you need to understand. is a very how we say that demanding and when we talk about the elite we talk about we talk about clubs like. so i think that is

a great big club but in europe of course they have this code to win trophies and to provide better players and so far when we talk about the. is the national team the best of the nations playing here yet but my question was different when you have thirty eight games to play during one year you can gradually put yourself on the map but when you have three games ok and then the playoffs that you like for us pressure is a not talking of course who is a process is so condensed of course is so compact a bit and you need to deliver one or two performances to qualify best you can do the thing is. everyone how the same goal everyone have the same. how you say that and with the victory thing is the only few remain. so when i watched a football player some of them are like very focused on a pitch and then there are others like an el nino or like always smiling like

little kids and within me i always say like i wonder what's more important to be like super structured like i don't know the germans or have like this kid like late in you that makes you play the one of the best what was what do you think is more important to have this kid in you or to be super structured or that he would bomb. this is the value you know that you need to be diverse and when you do diverse meaning that you came from any environment any background so you don't need to cut what is from yourself because when you talk about skills or talent for example that he's from a farm well as in brazil you cannot say tell him you should be like this no you kill him or if you do so but if he come with his own passion will always scale he can deliver what we don't expect and he can be one of the best so. two different environment two different backgrounds so you know if the german play like this. if

they are efficient they can it's good for is good for so and it's good for competition is good of competitiveness and i talked to mercy style and then there's the emotional component yeah like for the actors and for art's people or for journalists like when we reach great success and there is this emptiness to concentrate that like and you don't know what tears a place where and when there is failure that's also just a sad what is it for a football player what's harder to deal with great success or failure both both because i think that what we are learning is trying to be successful and to avoid failure best is the failure is also. something to push you to be on the. pathway to reach the goal and the success and the other one and india then failure can be also very very negative

to you a pathway to korea because when you don't reach your goal you become may be may be. a moderator for instance saying i'm not going to be a loser i'm going to get over this that's why that we have all the material we have . sportive coaches they we have. to motivate it's not easy you have the family to motivate it's not enough enough but at least if you have a good team mate if you are inspired by people who were excellent i think you are a drive to go through to go so to be driven to. when i was growing up i like looking at football there are like concrete gods of football it's like brazil france germany spain when you look at this world cup to me it's something incredible i don't think it's i don't think i've ever seen this before i mean yeah

there are always surprises but not to this point i mean these amazing teams that are always been established like part of the elite establishment are struggling with teams like iran tunisia my students like my favorite what's going on is that the fault for all changes is just plowed over the market and we talk about globalization and i think with bullies doing so when we talk about statistics to talk about new technology and how the same analysis anyway the words they can focus on one player they can focus on one club or one national team so they can learn quickly and only death as they have in their hands so they can see that there's no more small nation more because they can really read everything and learn about the open and so you think. there's no gap anymore so you think the success of the other teams is due to access to the information yes of course now before the competencies. the all the knowledge is you have it through we do you

kind of know you share every every couple of permissions and knowledge is so if you if i give you a million dollars right now yes just to spend it like this on the wind ok which team would you bet it on in this world cup one team pick one team too bad to to worse. yes. i would put russia seriously we are home they are. also i want to talk to you about how much success of a teen at this point pretty determined by a good manager and a coach is that enough or do you need to have a squad of stars in it or just one or two stars or anything and. the manager is the key of the success also when he drives his team to one goal and they need to respect that of course you need also to work and you can see that in the squad they

were performing together. for. something better still these one collective game and this is very good how right is it for instance one like one huge star takes on a mission of a coach versus like in ronaldo. or now there are messi like everything's sort of like hands on the right thing you know i think they they respect also the teammate the respect also the coaching theory of course in the end one star pool for the indian the spy of the need to inspire. the other so they need to make so much on this and by. scoring many goals he inspired them so he's the one who has to follow the coach leave that because he know that he's the leader in the group but he can't

. because if you can't the leadership of cristiano you lose the team is the plan is if i was debatable because in the zero finals i saw him giving instruction yesterday's and cheering them like he was the actual coach yeah he's also the cool yet so it's normal for him to see. his own. to support the manager with of course to be to inspire them as if he's in the bunch and also like when i was watching argentina games i mean the commentators and the russian common errors i mean they were all about messi this machine that oh my god what's wrong with messi awaken to score a goal and i'm like oh my god this is the success of the whole team is actually hanging on one of the major. with brazil i think that it's normal to have names. out right is it for that star i mean it's a huge pressure yeah it's too big but the thing is if the people around him and his

team it is doing well he will shine if they are not doing well. is this normal. everybody forget that one. in the pits is very important if one playing well they're going to have an balance of the two if two or three. then take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to legendary football player christian is the winner of world cup and hero stay with us.

brags that it was all about the british might to bring back five hundred factories we're going to export our way back into a g.d.p. rocket ship and take on the world cool britannia goal britannia turns out they're all going to be picking fruit out there and can bury shire. in the current american administration is raising tariffs and revising old trade agreements when america sneezes the rest of the world avoid contracting protectionist fever. and we're back with chris shankar on both french legendary football player winner

of the year and the world cup christian when you play football you know if they can make fouls out world cup is as serious as it gets make i guess coming and yes yes it's. like you're at the war or is it gentlemanly going stale. but there's no loss and there's no gentleman. there's no behavior as i think that we want to win and i want to lift the trophy. and so far i see one commitment in your life you need to try to reach this one and to go for it whatever happened of course now we have. to mention this. but still you are human being you need to respect of course respect the adversity the open them but so far you are also built to be a worry to be. so so there are so many tournaments right now i need to read them out because i can't remember there's a feast a world cup fifa club world cup the general championship the champions league

confederation cup olympic games yes i mean i don't know how can you force a balance between making a profit from get another high profile tournaments like this busy schedule i mean is it fair on a players to be not need time to rest recuperate this is what we are trying to talk about with a union of the players to have more. how you say that. to rest but also. frees where they can increase in the clubs with the national team also i think if they pay you more money you can play all those games and if you want to talk about professionalism it's all about the money so about business what about physical capacity and that's what that's why we can also enhance the team to forty players. and like this they can have a rotation but so far yes it's all about business because today when you talk about

the events in the world is millions of viewers and this is normal and i won millions of viewers is a strong woman. what about the viewers what you said i mean it's entertaining and you love to you know tuning in and watch a good football game but doesn't that like diversity the amount of diversity and amount of tournaments take away from the main prize to world cup it kind of to valley eight say no because in the end people from i don't know maybe people from. they can see where they can see lose the case study and they can see they can see. another. countries playing in russia and this is very good they can see cousin they can discover the country and look only. school but they can see what's happening in russia and this is good for everyone is international is global so for

a football player is there like this one price that you want to win like the world cup because for instance for actors it's always oscar yes and everything. and everything else is still salaskar but still everything else is secondary you know out for instance by the golden globe is important but not as important as the oscar for football players i would imagine it must be the world cup like you've seen the world cup you see in the champions league what's the difference different because when you're out of the club you want to run the shambles leagues is really about. how we say that price and you know that every year you can reach this level and that the work of four years so you have to wait four years every time but you need to be in the squad with great performances it's not out of the scope of the national to so so for you to be. on the europa league tournament and to deliver something where you can be selected to be part of the national team squad

and to perform in the next world cup so. i was growing up in paris and watching you play football and when you're watching when you're playing for a national team and you had your issues french national team for a member that is a hard to play for a national team if you have that inside you i mean is it still like a hundred percent dedication to play for one country's team while you have that history that bothers you the thing is. i know so as if i play with the french national team i reprise on my people i represent france but also through to myself i represent my people and this is good to give the business the visibility to my people through me through school through food go through a friend and to again to share the information. and to have a great communication the clear transparent communication about who i am i where i come from and there the french people understood my issue and then and there they

respect that because it's normal that you are. from somewhere and nobody know you this is not normal. so you should make everybody understand and tv's radio. and now new technology i mean i understand because i'm in georgia and i'm living in russia and russia is my country but i always say like i love georgia probably more than russia because if you don't love yourself you know love anyone else and causation only so i know what you mean so i remember like you refused to sing the national anthem and then when france tried to conduct nuclear tests near your country to new caledonia you actually had the whole team behind your protest did you ever experience backlash from the french government for protesting no because. i mean the right path and i'm talking about truth reality.

today we have a disease in the. house said they create. viral disease. in how we said move off for example we we have many people have died a lot so they know then the sound the mistakes but i did talk about this for me it's normal because first of all we are human beings and we talk as human beings after that we'll talk about politics another thing but it was my feeling to talk about it and still i'm doing some documentaries all around the world to talk about people. who are leaving aside because they should to be to leave aside as if we are now in the twenty first censors i mean honestly you know like the first you know when asked to protest something. socially or politically friends in america the americans and ballplayers the two presidents ensuring the anthem and the president got involved do you feel like. this protests they bring

awareness or do they know if people. i think that it's always. each country have a different story and environment by ground and for sure that in america for example as if mr obama becomes president. four years ago two years ago i think that he stopped the story his presidency. never talk about their own. history. because they do the amendment but then to talk about their own story who are the who are mentions who came in america and how they robinson and this is very crucial to make everybody understand who they come from who they are and to be together and to understand together in the same country to be american no a for america no way to american what is this oh you are american or we

are not and this is our purpose in the. how about university we talk about this because he's crucial today. to understand the person we are human be. nothing else. we trace this one race human race. as if you. know whatever and we talk about this is just a biological challenge. but there is a group by human race but there is a pre-condition in people's mind in terms of profession you know like for instance a well known aflat you know when people when he protests or she protested for a looking and the common accusation is like what do you know about our problems you knowing you're making so much money you're living a dream life to you're so detached. in reality later what he had protesting about so we can say that but the thing is somehow we need to do stuff. because it's

not the problem remains and also we need to start to eradicate the imaginary of people where the system put this on the loop and the dude last moment no we need to make that chant and it's normal for the human being for the nature to change saying ok back to the football so i always wondered ok but the food was you know all of you guys in this play for different clubs there are stars of this clubs and then once you're back in the national team often when you face of another team you're playing against your playmates and in the club yes i mean i understand what you must be going through because for for instance a it's a good thing because you know he's pros and cons so you can out when that person but you also have that bond with that person that you don't want to be fighting with because you in other circumstances you're fighting together yes but the same

when you're. when you have him seen you do a scene you can be you know i don't know if you can be you can you can in that with this and you can when they are saying you don't or another movie you don't say no it's not course because what i say to you is the meaning that when we go to another championship is to learn and to gain experience in that's what do you feel when you're playing your mate from the club through the chest that's what this way the thing is before and this is european history in food but the thing that before everyone remain in their own championship in their own countries the european nation house was created so we can play in europe so we can move from france or italy or spain and each a friendship is very house a very. well and very competitive so far we go to do something to be comforted also as a footballer and therefore we know from that when we come back to the national team

we reach of this knowledge is and we can perform better and this is everyone scientists from russia can go somewhere asked to give his knowledge to change and come back here to be better and this is the same in every countries when you. informations you get better. you're talking about changing clubs you're talking about changing clubs i'm talking about once you play in a club just the same that on a national level you play a game you get a person with whom he's fighting for the club yes this is normal this is a. country you do the. companies you can do this is the same. is the market is a business scintilla want to become a coach you know when i. know because i have the nerdy. doing twenty years

so i want to be a part i want to be more behind the scenes to care about management about players to care about the. pathway to succeed yes question thank you very much for the century and wish you all the best thank you everything entertaining in the chair and gershon. in the. remember when the political left stood up for free speech and equality for all in public life remember when the mainstream media called for the same the tone and tenor of political discourse appears to be the turning point if you don't agree with the left you face insults harassment and even bile.

originally the thought is drastic to get our citizens taken care of our cause just please stop me from feeling most of them from a completely different cause to i would just. as now that. the problem is that we kind of have a spode we think that state they call a nice this is not part of sweden. and i want to talk to some people who have money. no no and pacing up some stuff to stop stuff stuff for all to go through. my culture is crisp country and we don't do things like that and we will tell you if you do then we hate you and some day hopefully you can do something about the stuff. we cannot be naive about to not

attract more gangsters rapists and these words actually that are tearing down this city we wants to be a school this country and we want to know the people who live here now to go back. in twenty four to you know bloody revolution to to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know we're here to put it but i mean your list put video and put him in the new bill is not an idea splendid of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took . it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and demick. president
