Bilic defends Lampard over form

By Mandeep Sanghera Bilic was impressed by Lampard in his rise through West Ham's ranks Croatia manager Slaven Bilic says Frank Lampard will prove his critics wrong in the same way he beat the "prejudice" of fans when he started out at West Ham. Chelsea's Lampard has come under fire since a poor World Cup but has been backed by ex-Hammers team-mate Bilic. "There was a lot of prejudice as his dad was the West Ham assistant," Bilic told BBC Sport ahead of England's Euro 2008 qualifier in Croatia on Wednesday. "But in recent years he has been one of the best midfielders in the world." Bilic added: "He had a big chip on his shoulder but Frank has proved his critics wrong. "He has shown that he was always a great talent." Lampard, 28, has admitted himself that he had doubts about his ability after he failed to score in Germany this summer as England went out at the quarter-final stage. He is not a robot that can always keep such great form Bilic on Lampard But Bilic has revealed he was shocked by the defensive nature of England's play at the tournament and that Lampard, who will win his 50th cap against Croatia, was not the only player to blame. "The whole team failed and Frank didn't play up to his level," said Bilic. "It is very difficult for the stars because people get used to you scoring week in, week out. "For me, during the World Cup, he looked - as most of the English players did - not only tired but mentally and physically exhausted. "They were very important games but you cannot doubt his ability on the basis of three or four games. "The level he has been playing at in the last three or four years - week in, week out - is unbelievably good. "He is not a robot that can always keep such great form. I used to stay with Rio after training to show him things and practise a little bit Bilic on Rio Ferdinand "He was a little bit in a crisis but sooner or later, definitely sooner, he will be back on track." England and Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand was also at West Ham during Bilic's spell at the club - when current Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp was at the helm. "In both Rio and Frank you could see straight from the start that they had technique, character and everything to become players who were good enough to play for England," added Bilic. "I said seven or eight years ago, when I told Rio and Harry, that he should be in the top three centre-halves in the world. "I used to stay with Rio after training to show him things and practise a little bit. "He, for me, is now - and especially for the last five or six years - among the best four or five defenders in the world." Bilic believes England have a number of world-class players but is keen to expose the weaknesses displayed by them during the World Cup. "I am not exactly going to tell you what these weaknesses are but, in general, they have great individual players - only in a situation like the World Cup they didn't play as a team. "That is what they are missing and lacking - and I still think they do not play like a team."

 

"JAKE snage sigurnosti nastojat će zaštiti engleske navijače od napada ekstremno-desnih hrvatskih huligana", stoji u uvodniku Andrewa Culfa, dopisnika Guardiana iz Zagreba, koji britanske čitatelje podsjeća i na "svastiku" formiranu tijelima u Livornu. "Hrvatski navijači na domaćim utakmicama su poznati po rasizmu i nasilju".

"Susret Engleske i Hrvatske se igra na stadionu Maksimir, koji je dom Dinama i žestokih navijača Bad Blue Boysa. Tijekom balkanskog sukoba oni su se transformirali u paravojnu formaciju", je ipak najveći biser britanskog neznalice, koji je za divno čudo, konzultirao i nekoga tko poznaje materiju, Jonathana Wilsona, autora sjajne knjige o istočnoeuropskom nogometu "Iza željezne zavjese", koji situaciju sagledava nešto realnije.

"Postoji opasnost da će reputacija koju uživaju engleski navijači inspirirati neke hrvatske idiote da ih pokušaju isprebijati. Problem u hrvatskom nogometu je prije svega u klubovima, a zemlja će uvijek imati problema zbog ponašanja ekstremnih desničara među navijačima." - smatra Wilson.

Za razliku od Culfa, čiji članak je intoniran kao da skupina izviđača dolazi u vučju jazbinu, a ne kao da se radi o dolasku sedam tisuća navijača, od kojih će barem dio biti sklon izazivanju nereda, Wilson se razumije u navijačke rituale: "Moglo bi biti problema ukoliko engleski navijači pokušaju zauzeti glavni zagrebački trg".

Englezi se tradicionalno, kada igraju u inozemstvu, utabore na glavnom gradskom trgu, ili šetalištu grada u kojem njihova reprezentacija igra i od tamo kreću na utakmicu. Culf podsjeća kako se radi o "velikom trgu punom kafića, kojim dominira kup hrvatskog nacionalističkog junaka Josipa Jelačića"

Predstavnici službenog Kluba engleskih navijača, "englandfans", planiraju niz prijateljskih susreta sa hrvatskim navijačima, kao što je nogometni turnir i posjet školama u želji da smanje rizik od nereda.

Svakako da se radi o hvalevrijednom potezu, ali to se odnosi na simpatizere koji čarterima prate Engleze, a ne na ekstremne huligane, koji isto tako vjerno slijede reprezentaciju i koji će također doći u Zagreb.

Mark Perryman, jedan od vođa "englandfans" simpatizera izrazio je bojazan pred dolazak u Hrvatsku: "Očigledno je da u Hrvatskoj postoji opravdani strah od huligana i rasizma i na sastanku pred polazak smo izrazili zabrinutost zbog toga"

Piarra Power, voditelj kampanje protiv rasizma u nogometu "Kick iz Out", izjavio je da se hrvatski nogometni dužnosnici boje Uefinih kazni u slučaju ispada.

"Brojne ekstremno desne skupine su uključene u njihovu navijačku jezgru, slično kao u Poljskoj. Nogometni dužnosnici u hrvatskoj su svjesni problema i uložili su puno truda kako bi se spriječilo nasilje i rasizam" - zaključuje Power.

nisam očekivao od guardiana tako nešto...ipak su oni broadsheets,dakle ozbiljne novine...istina je da je bilo dosta glupih ispada, ali etiketirati sve navijače je krajnje neozbiljno...ispada da su "miroljubivi" englezi koji izazovu masovnu tučnjavu na svakom gostovanju na meti krvoločnih rasista i idiota iz Hrvatske...a to što oni u svojim pjesmama vrijeđaju apsolutno svaku naciju svijeta ("Rather be dead,than a Pakistani")...to nije rasizam

ali pametni potezi engleski novina - vec prije tekme odgurnuti svakaku mogucnost da bi Englezi bili krivi nego sve prebaci na HR-huligane... vatreno navijanje i pobjeda i usutili bi ih do uzvratne utakmice...

zivio mahatma gandhi!!! 

uh sad sam stvarno ljut
