Anti-Verletzungs-Tore in Spanien

Der spanische Verband ließ ein sogenanntes "Anti-Verletzungs-Tor" entwickeln. Ziel ist es, das Verletzungsrisiko bei einem Zusammenprall eines Spielers mit den Pfosten zu minimieren. Der Effekt bei einem Schuss an Pfosten oder Latte soll allerdingd derselbe bleiben.

Über drei Jahre brauchten Ingenieure der Hersteller-Firma das neue Material, das aus Kautschuk und Polyurethan besteht, zu entwickeln.

Erstmals offiziell getestet werden soll das Tor beim WM-Qualifikationsspiel in Merida am 9. September zwischen Spanien und Estland.

damit der channel nicht einschläft, mal wieder ein bisserl Sid:

Right now Xerez are the worst side in Europe. At least Pompey have scored

Typical. You wait 62 years for a season in the first division and then it's all over before it's even started

The corner came swinging in from the right, over the man at the near post and dropped sharply into the six-yard box. Leandro Andrés Gioda spotted it, pulled away from his opponent and threw himself at it head first. Connecting with a diving header so low he ended up with a gob full of grass and a worm in each nostril, he sent the ball past the stranded keeper and into the net. In the corner of the Chapín stadium, way across the running track, fans in blue and white leapt up and down and hugged each other. It was a great goal. It was also the first goal Xerez Club Deportivo had scored this season. In fact, it was the first goal they had ever scored in the Spanish first division.

At least it would have been, but for one thing. Actually, make that two things. The goalkeeper Gioda beat was Renan Brito. His goalkeeper. And it wasn't even the first own-goal they had scored this season. In week two, Xerez were beaten 1-0 by Athletic Bilbao thanks to a suicidal lunge by the centre-back David Prieto, who diverted the ball into his own net. Last night, week four in La Liga, any chance they had of beating Deportivo de La Coruña evaporated with another own-goal from another centre-back. Mario Bermejo had just hit the bar in a match Marca dismissed as a "monstrosity" when Gioda struck. An inch away from 1-1, suddenly they were two down and a world away from a win. All that was left was for Rikki to make it three.

Typical. You wait 62 years for a first division goal, two come along at once and they're not even the two you were waiting for. You wait 62 years for a season in the first division and it's over before it's even started. Two home matches, two own-goals and two defeats; four first division matches, four defeats, 11 conceded, and no goals at all at the right end. Xerez are bottom of the table, the farolillo rojo as the Spanish phrase has it – the red light. Not just bottom of the table; bottom of the continent. Right now, Xerez are the worst side in Europe. At least Portsmouth have scored. So have Grenoble. It's not just that Xerez look like candidates for relegation, it's that they look a half-decent bet to break the record for the worst points total ever, beating the 13 Sporting Gijón got in 1997-98.* They are, in short, doomed.

Now that might sound a bit premature, what with the season being only four games old and that. It might sound a little foolish after Xerez performed admirably against Real Madrid. It might sound dismissive of a side that are actually not too bad with the ball and have had nothing but bad luck so far. And it might sound harsh on fantastic fans, 7,000 of who put the Santiago Bernabéu to shame. But Ted Lowe could do that on his own most Sundays; for all their neat football Xerez were ultimately hammered 5-0 by Madrid; and bad luck alone doesn't explain their position. In fact, Xerez's lowly location is about the most logical in the league, the most sadly predictable position of all – apart from Madrid and Barcelona walking away with it.

Because while the club's website moaned that "the witches have put a spell on us" and AS described them as "luckless", the truth is that, as one report put it, Xerez are "crippled – in both legs". Because while it took an own-goal to help kill them off, just as it had done against Athletic, it was all too easy for the visitors to pick off the points. "Deportivo go fishing at Xerez's expense," ran one headline; "Deportivo abused the red light," declared another.

Speaking of red lights, this is the club whose president resigned after being involved in a drive-by shooting at a brothel; the club whose owner Joaquín Morales declared it "the kind of thing that could happen to anyone." And that is kind of the point, a glimpse of the club's underbelly.

Of course Xerez could yet sort it out. After all, Osasuna started last season as the worst side in Europe, their dismal run lasting far more than four games, only to recover and ultimately survive on the final day, and Málaga showed that a cash-strapped, recently-promoted club can cut it in the top flight. But it just doesn't look likely. Osasuna and Málaga had the right ingredients to survive – pork mostly – while Xerez have all the ingredients to go down: a shambolic club, no money, few genuine first division players, an owner who wants to sell, and a coach who wanted to be somewhere else and doesn't have much of a record anyway. The surprise is not that they are bottom of the first division; the surprise is that they are in the first division at all.

At the start of last season Xerez – who had finished 14th in the previous campaign – had one target: survival. Instead, the coach Esteban Vigo performed a miracle, winning the second division title. Rather than take them into the top flight, he fell out with Morales and left for second division Herculés. In the meantime, Cuco Ziganda dithered over whether to take over, finally saying yes after discussions with Racing broke down, and 13 players departed – seven of them loanees returning to their clubs. Then Betis, who just happened to be the team that would benefit from any ban, tried to get Xerez's promotion blocked because of what they alleged to have been "serious" financial irregularities surrounding a share issue at Xerez in 2002. By the time pre-season training started Ziganda had just 12 players to work with.

The squad is now up to 24, goalkeepers included. But Xerez haven't spent a single euro on footballers. Víctor Sánchez joined on loan from Barcelona, David Prieto from Sevilla and Renan from Valencia. All are decent players and Xerez have at least resisted the temptation to become Neanderthal defensive cloggers, the president Carlos Osma not unjustly insisting that last night's first half was "reasonably good". Trouble is, "reasonably good" is not enough and Xerez remain as toothless as a granny with gingivitis. Their star player Momo had only ever scored four career goals before last season, when he got 17, and boasts a solitary primera goal in three seasons; Antoñito is an outrageously talented five-a-side player who once looked like he would be good but never quite was, the striker Mario Bermejo failed to score in his one first division season, and the playmaker Emilio Viqueira is 35 now – and looks it too. As if that wasn't enough, the pressure is already starting to tell. "My players are scared," Ziganda admitted.

They're right to be. It may only be week four, there may still be a long way to go and of course it's a marathon not a sprint. But Xerez are running in a gorilla costume. For the 59th team to make it to primera, a club with no first division history and the smallest budget of the lot, just lasting the course is a success. Anything else would be a miracle.

Talking points

• There is some good news for Xerez fans, though. According to a survey that measures the "sexual pulsations index" (yes, really) of the Spanish, they are the second friskiest football fans in the country, after Almería. Barcelona's fans are sixth, while Madrid are 12th. The fans getting the least are Osasuna's. Or maybe they're just the only ones not lying.

• Cristiano Ronaldo is slipping. He scored again. But rather than the 47 seconds it took him against Xerez, this time the game was 1 minute and 47 seconds old when he raced away from just inside Villarreal's half, down the left, cut inside and scored a beauty. A goal in every game so far makes him the best debutant in Madrid's history. Just as Ibrahimovic is the best in Barcelona's with four in four. Madrid and Barcelona have now picked up a maximum 12 points and are the only unbeaten sides. Everyone's getting very excited about the race for the Pichichi [top scorer award] between Messi and Ronaldo, who are on five each, even if the Portuguese came out after the game and said he wasn't going after the "Pichichi - or the Pachocho". Oddly, no one picked up on Ronaldo declaring he wasn't going "pa' chocho" but maybe this column's the only one whose mind is that warped.

• Not that Zlatan or Ronaldo are as good as Galan. He made his debut for Osasuna against Valladolid last night – and scored after 29 seconds.

• And as they bang on about Ronaldo and Messi, everyone seems to have forgotten – just for a change, like – that someone else is on five too. But, then, David Villa doesn't play for Madrid or Barcelona. He did score the week's best goal, finishing a wonderful move for Valencia against Getafe but his side went on to lose 3-1 thanks to a dire defence and a brilliant free-kick from Pedro León. In fact, it was a week of great goals: other belters included Messi's two, Ronaldo's one, Pedro León for Getafe against Valencia, Juco's free-kick against Xerez, and Ivan Alonso's against Malaga – dedicated to the daughter of Espanyol's late captain Daniel Jarque, Martina, who was born during the game yesterday.

• Atlético Madrid: oh dear. Athletic Bilbao: didn't you just know it?

• There was bad news for Joan Laporta as he sat in the presidential box during Barcelona's game with Racing Santander. He got into a little, ahem, "debate" with his opposite number Francisco Pernía and the president of the Cantabrian government Miguel-Ángel Revilla, who criticised him for his pro-Catalan independence stance. He responded by saying that Spain was "crushing" Catalunya. So they hit him where it hurts: by telling him he was no longer welcome to join the extremely exclusive, 30-member, Ambassadors of the Havana [Cigar] club.

Results: Sevilla 2-0 Mallorca, Racing 1–4 Barcelona, Espanyol 2–1 Málaga, Villarreal 0–2 Real Madrid, Xerez 0–3 Deportivo, Tenerife 1–0 Athletic, Valladolid 1–2 Osasuna, Atlético 2–2 Almería, Getafe 3–1 Valencia. Tonight: Sporting versus Zaragoza.

Bevors untergeht: Xerex hat am letzten Spieltag den ersten Treffer jemals in Spaniens Oberhaus erzielt. Und welch großartiges noch dazu: Gestocher, Abstauber, Hand. Grandios

Jetzt wirds zeit für den ersten Sieg. Am Wochenende war man ja so nah dran wie noch nie...

Noch was erwähnenswertes:

Iker Muniain (16) von Athletic Bilbao wurde bei seinem Ausgleichstreffer zum 2:2 in Valladolid zum jüngsten Torschützen aller Zeiten in Spaniens Oberhaus.

Abel ist (wenig überraschend) Geschichte:

Atlético Madrid entlässt Trainer Resino

Zwei Tage nach seiner 0:4-Schlappe in der Champions League bei Chelsea hat Atlético Madrid seinen Trainer Abel Resino entlassen. Das gab der spanische Erstligist am Freitag auf seiner Website bekannt.

Als Favoriten für die Nachfolge gelten der Spanier Quique Sánchez Flores und der Italiener Luciano Spalletti. Der neunfache spanische Meister hatte am Donnerstag versucht, Michael Laudrup als neuen Coach zu verpflichten, sich von dem Dänen jedoch eine Absage eingehandelt.

Atlético steht in der Champions League vor dem Ausscheiden und rangiert in der Primera Division nur auf dem 15. Platz.

Valverde wird bald folgen.

€: Das ging schnell. Quique Flores ist neuer Trainer von Atlético Madrid.

Viel hat der auch noch nicht bewirken können.

Beim Spiel gegen Mallorca hat man 2 Elfer für ein Tor gebraucht und dann mit 2 Mann mehr noch ein Gegentor zum 1-1 bekommen und nun die nächste Pleite gegen Bilbao.
