Quand Zidane, l'homme providentiel silencieux, passe de remède à symptôme

A ceux qui répètent comme un mantra qu'il n'y a pas de culture foot en France sans se rendre compte qu'ils sont les premiers responsables d'un mal qu'ils déplorent, Thibaud Leplat apporte un démenti formel et magistral. Dans "Football à la fran?aise",Nike Tn il dessine l'impossible généalogie du football hexagonal des années 1930 à aujourd'hui. Extrait de "Football à la fran?aise", de Thibaud Leplat, aux éditions Solar Si Zidane n'avait jamais eu besoin de mot pour être entendu, lorsqu'il revint en 2005, il n'avait désormais même plus besoin de jouer au football pour mener le jeu. Il suffisait de le regarder faire pour que toutes ses décisions, tous ses gestes prennent une profondeur symbolique nouvelle. Cet homme dont le destin se confondit à cet instant avec celui d'une équipe tout entière (et d'un pays ?) le temps d'une dernière saison et d'une Coupe du monde, c'est-à-dire du plus grand rite possible, était un guide s?r et un modèle à imiter. Air Max 90 Domenech raconta ce jour de la préparation à la Coupe du monde où ses joueurs, arrivant au refuge sur le glacier au-dessus deTignes dans lequel ils devaient passer la nuit tous ensemble,Nike Tn comme il s'était inquiété de la probable réaction que l'inhabituelle austérité du lieu ne manquerait pas de provoquer chez des hommes habitués à d'autres égards. Il observa pourtant, médusé, combien la présence de cet homme changea tout à coup sans un mot les esprits de tous les autres. Nous avons débarqué en début de soirée dans le refuge meublé de lits de camp ou de matelas posés à même le sol. Les joueurs étaient habitués au luxe des grands h?tels, j'ignorais comment ils réagiraient. Je suis sorti le premier du téléphérique et les ai laissés entrer en pensant que je n'avais pas le plan B s'ils refusaient de dormir dans ces conditions. Mais j'ai vu Zidane aller à sa place, poser son sac et sortir ses affaires. C'était gagné.


 

le vidéaste pervers ciblait les femmes en jean stretch sur les escalators

C'est dans les escalators, les magasins et les centres commerciaux qu'il choisissait ses proies. Christopher Harvey, 21 ans, vient d'être condamné à 12 mois de prison pour avoir filmé les corps de jeunes filles de trop près dans les lieux publics. Nike Tn Le jeune homme choisissait ses sujets en fonction de leurs tenues vestimentaires. En premier lieu celles qui portaient des jeans stretchs ou des leggings, pour que leurs "formes" soient bien visibles. Mais aussi des shorts ou des mini-jupes : "Si les circonstances le permettaient, il inclinait le téléphone pour filmer leurs sous-vêtements", a précisé le procureur lors du procès. "Dépression" et manque de confiance en soi Christopher Harvey avait été interpellé par la police à la sortie d'un magasin Disney, en décembre dernier,Nike Ninja après qu'un agent de sécurité a trouvé son comportement suspect. Et dans son téléphone, les enquêteurs ont trouvé toutes les preuves qu'il leur fallait. Au total, plus de 300 vidéos montrant des jeunes femmes y étaient stockées, avec de nombreux gros plans sur leurs fessiers ou leurs sous-vêtements. Lors du procès de son client qui s'est tenu cette semaine, Me Ian Vesey a indiqué que Christopher Harvey était "dépressif" et qu'il manquait de "confiance en lui", rapporte le Mirror. Il a précisé qu'il n'avait "jamais eu de relation de longue durée avec une femme". Il a assuré qu'il ne recommencerait pas. Outre les 12 mois de prison,Nike Ninja Christopher Harvey a été condamné à verser 265 euros d'amende. Il sera aussi inscrit pendant dix ans au fichier des agresseurs sexuels.

nouveaux accidents mortels en Espagne

Air Max Tn Les opposants à la corrida vont avoir du grain à moudre… Un célèbre torero espagnol est mort hier après avoir été embroché par le taureau qu'il tentait de ma?triser. Victor Barrio, 29 ans, est décédé à l'infirmerie des suites d'une profonde blessure au thorax. Malgré la violence de ce sport, les accidents sont rarement mortels : le dernier remonterait à 1985. Et puis lors de l'un des traditionnels lachers de taureaux dans un village près de Valence, un Espagnol de 28 ans est mort après avoir eu le poumon et le coeur percé par l'un des animaux. Ce touriste américain a eu plus de chance : "Je suis tombé au milieu du tunnel juste avant que les taureaux entrent. J'ai quelques traces de pied sur le dos mais sinon ?a va". Nike Tn Pas Cher A nouveau ce dimanche, deux hommes ont été grièvement blessés lors des fêtes de la San Firmin, qui attirent des centaines de milliers de personnes tous les ans. Si l'Association espagnole des organisateurs de spectacles taurins affirme que cette tradition rapporte 3,5 milliards d'euros tous les ans,la tauromachie divise de plus en plus. La Catalogne,Air Max 90 par exemple, l'a interdite.

U.S. gymnast Gabby Douglas’s spot on the Olympic roster may be in jeopardy

This was not supposed to be part of the story reigning Olympic champion Gabby Douglas had in mind when she set her sights on Rio. A revelation in London four years ago, Douglas figured her bid for another shot at glory would be easy. Hard to blame her considering the way she so effortlessly reached the top of the podium in 2012, a soaring victory that made her a crossover star. Watch Sunday 8:30pm on NBC and NBC Sports Live online "I came back and said, 'Yes, this is going to be cake,'" Douglas said. For a stretch last fall and this spring, it was. A silver medal in the all-around at the 2015 world championships showed her return was hardly just vanity run amok. Her professional effort while capturing events in New Jersey and Italy in March stirred inevitable comparisons to her sprint to Olympic gold. Yet sometime over the last month, the momentum stalled. The Douglas that hopped off the beam in frustration during the first night of Olympic Trials on Friday hardly looked like she was having a good time. Her all-around total of 58.550 puts her seventh heading into Sunday's finale,Tn Requin when the five-woman team expected to dominate the Summer Games will be announced. Douglas described her effort as "just OK" when she knows much more is required. While the Olympic spot that once seemed automatic is still well within reach, the 20-year-old acknowledges the pressure has gotten to her. She figured she would have no trouble handling it when she returned to competition in March 2015. "I think there's more expectations now than there were before," she said. "I've just got to go out there and just do it, not just shy away and test the water. I've got to dive in." That wasn't a problem earlier in her career, when her fearlessness made her seem impervious to the stage. But after a so-so effort at national championships in St. Louis two weeks ago — when her fourth-place finish was well behind Simone Biles,Chaussures Tn Laurie Hernandez and Aly Raisman — Douglas decided to tweak her coaching situation. She made Christian Gallardo her primary coach, a role Kittia Carpenter had been filling since Douglas began training at Buckeye Gymnastics in Columbus, Ohio, two years ago. Douglas emphasized the decision was pragmatic, not personal. Gymnasts are allowed one coach on the event floor at the Olympics, and Gallardo — who had been splitting the duties with Carpenter — seemed a more natural fit to handle various responsibilities like spotting her during routines. Many of Douglas' peers on the national team, though, are still training with coaches they've been with since turning their first back handspring. Douglas has become a bit of a nomad over the last six years, moving from Virginia Beach to Iowa to California then back to Iowa before starting fresh in Columbus. The fact she's prospered despite near constant change is a testament to her talent, which seems to thrive when the stakes are raised. That's what happened in 2012. It's what happened last October, when she shook off lethargic training to finish a strong second to Biles at worlds. Douglas thought it would happen at nationals and trials too. And it hasn't. At least not yet. Nike Tn "I would be, 'No, I'm fine. I can do this. When competition rolls around, I got it,'" she said. "The performances were OK. I was too relaxed. I got too far behind." Douglas believes she's spent too much time focusing on "the wrong thing," unable to completely block out the noise that seems to follow her wherever she goes. When she appeared too serious during national championships, social media lit up with criticism. In some ways, the detractors weren't wrong. "I lost the joy," she said. "I forgot what it means to go out and have fun, and it's catching up." Douglas presents a complex challenge for national team coordinator Martha Karolyi, who seems intent on giving Douglas every opportunity to get right. Two weeks after saying it's how athletes are doing now — and not their gaudy resumes — that matters most in picking the team, Karolyi clarified her standards when pressed about Douglas' lingering sluggishness. "We look for the potential and you look for the fact of what you see what the girls were able to do in the past also," Karolyi said. Karolyi gave Douglas a brief pep talk as they walked off the floor Friday, one Douglas needed badly. "I was kind of crushed after, and when she came over, she was like, 'OK, everything's good,'" Douglas said. "I'm just going to go on to Sunday and bang it out." Probably a good idea if she wants to erase any lingering doubt in Karolyi's mind. The sloppy ending to her otherwise steady performance Friday, when she wobbled near the end of her beam routine and was unable to save it before jumping to the floor in frustration, left her visibly shaken. The girl whose life has literally become a reality show — "Douglas Family Gold" just wrapped its first season on the Oxygen Network — is hoping for one more dash of the magic that once came so naturally. "I don't want to finish like this," Douglas said. "I don't want to finish with St. Louis being not good and trials being OK. I really want to finish on a high note and not let myself go down."


 

Despite falls, Gabby Douglas makes Olympic team led by Simone Biles, Aly Raisman

There was plenty of drama Sunday night at San Jose's SAP Center as Gabby Douglas waited to see if she'd get a return trip to the Olympic Games. Following an 18-minute deliberation by the women's gymnastics selection committee, the suspense was lifted and Douglas broke down in tears after leaning she'd been chosen to again to represent Team USA. Tn Requin 2016 Douglas was one of five selected for USA's women's gymnastics team for Rio de Janeiro. She will be joined in Brazil by Simone Biles, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman. MyKayla Skinner, Ragan Smith and Ashton Locklear were selected as alternates. Air Huarache 2016 Douglas led Team USA to Olympic gold in 2012 while capturing a gold medal in the individual all-around event. She is the first reigning all-around gold medal champ since Nadia Comaneci in 1980 to return to the Games. Douglas and Raisman are the USA's first repeat competitors since 2000. Douglas entered Sunday seventh in the standings, but turned in near-flawless performances in the vault and uneven bars to work her way into the top five. But after falling from the balance beam on Friday, Douglas slipped off the beam again during Sunday's routine. A solid performance in the floor exercise wasn't enough to return her to the top five in the points standings, finishing back in seventh place. But the committee is relying on her leadership and experience in Rio. "It was very emotional. Even after a couple of mistakes, they trusted me," Douglas told NBC Sports Sunday night. "Sitting in that room was so emotional and nerve-racking." Tn Requin Biles goes to her first Olympic Games as one of the favorites to claim gold. She's been the all-around champion in the last three World Championships, winning a total of 10 gold medals with a pair of silver and bronze medals.

Five officers were killed and seven officers were wounded when a gunman opened fire on a protest march in Dallas on Thursday. ——— 5:45 p.m. A top elected official in Dallas says it appears Thursday's attack on a protest march was a "crime of opportunity." Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins says authorities believe the gunman, Micah Johnson, had been practicing and training for a long time, learned of the protest and knew there would be a lot of police to protect protesters. Jenkins says Johnson had material for explosives in his home and talked of using IEDs during the police standoff. He says that indicates he could have done more damage with more time, but used the protest in Dallas to strike in a more limited, albeit deadly, fashion. Authorities say Johnson, who was black, fatally shot five police officers who were protecting demonstrators protesting the police killings of two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota last week. He was later killed by police. ——— 4:30 p.m. A culturally diverse group of demonstrators formed a circle in front of a suburban Minnesota city hall Sunday to protest the shooting death of a black driver by a police officer. A number of protesters spoke to the crowd of approximately 200 outside St. Anthony City Hall outside St. Paul. St. Anthony is near Falcon Heights, where police fatally shot a black driver, Philando Castile, on Wednesday. Alice Chavez gave an impassioned speech describing how her son was shot and killed by a police officer in his home several years ago. Barricades were placed at either end of the block in front of city hall to allow the protest to proceed. Nearby streets were clogged with cars. The rally was peaceful with children playing with each other just beyond the circle of demonstrators. ——— 4:15 p.m. Four Dallas County government buildings closed to the public since the killings of five police officers will reopen this week.

It was a smaller crowd than Friday night, when several thousand flooded the streets. At least one person was arrested then as police kept marchers off a highway. The protests erupted over police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. ——— 4 p.m. Federal agents are processing evidence as they try to trace the origin of the weapons used by the gunman in the protest attack that left five Dallas officers dead. So far, authorities have not said whether they successfully identified the manufacturer and dealer of the weapon used by Micah Johnson. William Temple, the Dallas special agent in charge for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said Sunday that about 30 agents are also involved in identifying bullet casings. The large crime scene includes the parking garage where Johnson was holed up for hours and at least two other spots where Johnson is believed to have fired at officers before being killed by police. FBI and ATF agents are assisting Dallas police leading the investigation. ——— 3:40 p.m. Activists and community leaders say they are monitoring the investigation of a fatal shooting in which two Houston police officers killed a man who authorities say had pointed a gun at officers after ignoring commands to drop the weapon. The Houston chapters of the NAACP and Black Lives Matter say they're waiting for more details about the Saturday shooting of 38-year-old Alva Braziel. Some people say surveillance video from a nearby gas station shows Braziel had his hands up before being shot. The video is dark and it's hard to see clearly what Braziel might have had in his hand and what happened in the moments before officers fired. Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said Sunday her agency is asking people to withhold judgment until all the evidence is reviewed. ——— 2:55 p.m. A 37-year-old Texas woman who was wounded when she threw herself over her son during the attack on a Dallas protest march says she would go to another demonstration to show she's not a quitter. Shetamia Taylor, who attended the march with her four sons, also thanked Dallas police for protecting her in the chaos that erupted Thursday night. She says officers shielded her as bullets whizzed through the air around them. Taylor says she always held police officers "in a very high place" and notes that her youngest son wants to be a cop. She says not all police officers are bad. Taylor was one of two civilians wounded in the attack, which killed five Dallas officers and injured seven others. The protest was one of many in the U.S. after black men were fatally shot by police in Minnesota and Louisiana. ——— 2:20 p.m. Missouri police say an off-duty officer fatally shot a man who was trying to enter the officer's home, and a relative says the two had been arguing on Facebook about the Black Lives Matter movement.

He cut his visit to Spain short by a day and has spoken daily during the trip about the attacks, calling for police and protesters to "listen to each other." ——— 11:55 a.m. The sister of the woman who was shot while shielding her children from the Dallas gunman's bullets says the family hopes she will be released from the hospital Sunday. Speaking at a town hall meeting in Dallas, Theresa Williams says her sister is "doing much better." Shetamia Taylor and her four sons attended the downtown Dallas protest against police killings of blacks Thursday.

On Thursday, a gunman opened fire on police at one such protest in Dallas, killing five officers. ——— 10:45 a.m. Police say a vehicle struck a Dallas police car parked outside the home of one of five officers slain during a protest last week. Fort Worth police say they are investigating whether the crash was an accident or deliberate.

Authorities say 21 police officers were hurt during the fracas late Saturday and early Sunday. St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and Police Chief Todd Axtell are condemning the violence. Axtell calls the pelting of officers with rocks, bottles and other objects "a disgrace." The Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/29qNWkj) reports about half the arrests came during a blockade of Interstate 94 in St. Paul. About 50 arrests were made early Sunday in another part of St. Paul. The interstate reopened early Sunday morning. The protest was among several demonstrations nationwide following the deaths of 32-year-old Philando Castile in suburban St. Paul and 37-year-old Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. ——— This item has been corrected to show the number of officers injured was 21, not 27. ——— 9:40 a.m. San Antonio police say shots fired overnight near the department headquarters hit the building, but nobody was hurt. Chief William McManus says investigators are trying to determine whether the building was targeted Saturday night or if someone was randomly firing. Police detained one person for questioning after the man was seen running from the area. Five police officers were killed after a sniper opened fire Thursday night in Dallas during a protest against the killings of black men last week by police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota. Several San Antonio police officers who were in the headquarters Saturday night reported hearing gunshots. McManus says several shell casings were found in a nearby alley. ——— 9:25 a.m. President Barack Obama says protesters who attack police officers are doing a disservice to their cause. Obama said in Madrid after meeting with Spain's acting prime minister that one of the great things about America is that individuals and groups can protest and speak truth to power. He says the process is sometimes messy and controversial,Nike Air Max but the ability to engage in free speech has improved America. Obama also cautions that if protesters paint police with a broad brush, they could lose allies for their cause. At the same time, he says that when police organizations acknowledge there is a problem stemming from bias, it will contribute to solutions. Obama is cutting his first visit to Spain a day short because of a series of deadly shootings in the U.S. ——— 8:50 a.m. Dallas police chief David Brown says the suspect in the deadly attack on Dallas police officers scrawled letters in his own blood on the walls of the parking garage where officers cornered and later killed him. Brown told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that Micah Johnson wrote lettering in blood before heading upstairs and writing more in his own blood. He says the 25-year-old Army veteran wrote the letters "RB," and that investigators are looking through things found in his suburban Dallas home to try to figure out what he may have meant by that. The chief defended the decision to kill Johnson using a robot-delivered bomb, saying negotiations went nowhere and trying to "get him" in some other way would have put his officers in danger. Brown says that during the roughly two-hour standoff in the garage, Johnson lied to and taunted the police negotiators. Authorities say Johnson killed five police officers and wounded seven others and two civilians during an attack at a protest over last week's killings by police of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. ——— 1:40 a.m. The gunman who killed five police officers at a protest march had practiced military-style drills in his yard and trained at a private self-defense school that teaches special tactics, including "shooting on the move," a maneuver in which an attacker fires and changes position before firing again. Micah Johnson, an Army veteran, received instruction at the Academy of Combative Warrior Arts in the Dallas suburb of Richardson about two years ago, said the school's founder and chief instructor, Justin J. Everman. Everman's statement was corroborated by a police report from May 8, 2015, when someone at a business a short distance away called in a report of several suspicious people in a parked SUV. The investigating officer closed the case just minutes after arriving at a strip mall. While there, the officer spoke to Johnson, who said he "had just gotten out of a class at a nearby self-defense school." ——— 9:10 p.m. The owner of a community social services organization says the gunman who killed five police officers at a Dallas protest march worked for his organization. Dallas-based Touch of Kindness subcontracts with the state to provide care for people with disabilities. Owner Jeppi Carnegie says that Micah Johnson was paid to care for his brother, who was in his early 20s. Carnegie said Johnson, until his death this week, received an hourly wage to look after his brother at the home in Mesquite where both men lived with their mother. Carnegie said he spoke with Johnson only once by phone, for less than a minute, and only then to confirm that he would be taking care of his brother. Johnson was killed Friday morning by police.
