00:00This is Maxi-Sport and we start this edition with the World Cup 2024 of Futsal in Uzbekistan.
00:302 matches, 2 wins. The Lions of the Atlas have won their match at the Panama 6-3 yesterday in Tashkent, securing at least the 2nd position of Group E and a place in the 8th of the final after the tricky victory of Portugal against Tajikistan, 3 goals to 2 in the other match of the group.
00:56Morocco, on the other hand, is making its best start in the World Cup with 2 wins in so many matches against Panamanians.
01:03Touched by their pride after a heavy defeat against Selesao Dibuzan, the Moroccan team had to wait for a tough, patient resistance.
01:11As usual, the Lions of the Atlas were able to speed up the pace at the right time.
01:15Their mission was even more difficult for Richem Gigue, who had to manage this match with a relay of only 2 groups after the injuries of Othman Hedelissi, who is no longer available for this competition, and Soufiane Bouret, at least forfeit for this match on the 3rd and last day.
01:28Morocco and Portugal will face each other this Sunday in Tashkent for the group's lead.
01:32The Moroccan national team of Futsal is one of the best in the world at the moment.
01:39This is what the Portuguese national team of Portugal, the opponent of the Lions of the Atlas, said on Thursday in Tashkent during the last match of the group.
01:46I talk to Richem Gigue from time to time, it's impressive what he does with Morocco,
01:51he said in a statement to the press at the end of his team's victory against Tajikistan, synonymous with qualification to the round of 16, in the same title as the Moroccan team.
02:01I have great admiration for the Moroccan team, its personality, its motivation, the risks it takes during matches and the way it plays, he said, before looking at the confrontation to come.
02:11The match against Morocco will not be easy.
02:14During the last edition of the World Cup, we left back to back, three times in 2021 in Lithuania.
02:19We want to secure the group's lead, Morocco too, so it will be a great match for Futsal.
02:25FIFA has just published its very last ranking of the men's national teams, updated every month.
02:45And no big surprise, since the Lions of the Atlas are still in 14th place, despite the last two wins in the 2025 Cannes qualifiers.
02:52At home, it was against Gabon and Les Sauteaux.
02:55The men of Walid El Greggi do not surpass Germany, 13th and undefeated in the last international break.
03:00As for the top 10, they remain unchanged with Argentina, world champion in title, ahead of the French team and Spain, just European champion.
03:07This summer, Senegal, second in the African rankings, loses its place and is now in 21st place.
03:12Some African teams, such as Egypt, 31st, Ivory Coast, 33rd, Tunisia, 36th and Algeria, 41st, gain 5 places each and remain in the top 50.
03:25Finally, Cameroon and Mali are a few steps away from the top 50, despite the same result, a victory and a draw in September,
03:32all of which is surpassed by Greece, which is now in 6th place.
03:36In the Champions League now, FC Barcelona has won so far this season and fell to Monaco.
03:43Yesterday, at the Stade Louis II, it was full for the occasion.
03:46Its five wins in a row in the Liga left a great Barça this season.
03:49But its first outing in the most prestigious of the competitions is a disappointment.
03:53The men of Ady Hüther are very well in their game, to the point of forcing the exclusion of Eric Garcia from the 10th minute of the game.
03:59Maranes Ekliyus quickly took advantage of this by scoring a dry shot to the first post,
04:06to deceive the German goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen six minutes later.
04:09But Minyama, who has been struggling since the start of the season,
04:12brought the team led by Andrzej Flick to equality,
04:14managing to re-centre himself at the entrance of the box before hitting, again, to the ground.
04:19At the first post, at the 28th minute, he entered in the second period and launched deep.
04:23The 18-year-old Nigerian Jorji Lenekina won his duel against Ter Stegen by hitting hard.
04:29It was not easy to defend.
04:33And after 10 or 12 minutes, with a red card, the match completely changed.
04:39But what I see is really the positive in this match.
04:43We try to defend as a team, but also to attack as a team.
04:48And we had chances, but today they deserved to win.
04:52So we have to accept it.
04:55Each player tried to give the best in this situation.
04:58And I also said that I am very proud of this team.
05:01But we have to accept it.
05:03We lost today.
05:05We have to accept it.
05:07But we still have seven matches to play.
05:10And I'm sure that if the other players come back, we'll be stronger.
05:14Maybe now we have to see how we're going to do in the next matches.
05:19The team has to recover and find more energy during the days.
05:23And then we have to see how we'll manage a match every three days.
05:27It's sure that it won't be easy for them.
05:30But everyone knew it before.
05:32And I'm totally positive about it.
05:39A defeat is not easy.
05:41It's not easy for them, but everyone knows that before.
05:45And I'm looking positive about these things.
05:49A surprising defeat for Barça.
05:51They seemed to have crushed everything in the Champions League.
05:54Against a team from Monaco, a team that already beat them in the pre-season.
05:57In the Trophée Juan Gampera, Montjuic 3-0.
06:00But the Catalans' numerical weakness, after the red card from Garcia,
06:03is not the only game that brought the victory to Monegasque.
06:06We listen to the analysis of Abdelhatef Drissi, a sports journalist,
06:09live with us from Toulouse this morning,
06:11during the Le Médien TV news.
06:14It's a team that has been able to highlight some weaknesses of Barça.
06:18Barça remains in a very good dynamic.
06:20And above all, the visual impression,
06:22released collectively and even by the individuals,
06:25such as Lewandowski, Amin Yamal, Rafinha, in a small measure.
06:31Piedri too, who made a very good start to the season.
06:35It's true that Monaco managed this match very well.
06:40Indeed, there was also the fact of the match,
06:44let's say, the exclusion of Eric Garcia,
06:46which conditions the rest of the match.
06:49But still, I think we can applaud Monaco
06:54for the intention they were able to put in this match.
06:58Because indeed, the red card is the turning point of the match.
07:02But I think it's Monaco that conditions,
07:05or at least that puts pressure on FC Barcelona.
07:10And that's what will happen next.
07:13It's this famous red card.
07:16Because if we look at the action up close,
07:19it's on a Barcelona goal.
07:21And the Barcelonians make a mistake on a ball loss.
07:25They have a very, very intense, very strong impression of Monegasque.
07:28So that's it, it's a victory.
07:30I think they went to get it.
07:32It's totally, totally deserved for Mbappé.
07:36Still in this first day of the Champions League,
07:38Arsenal, for its part,
07:40could have done better than bringing them back
07:42the draw in the Atalanta-Bergam match.
07:44But it could have been worse for the men of Mikel Arteta.
07:46Yet, the Poulins of Gian Piero Gasperini
07:48had the opportunity to open the score
07:50after a penalty obtained by Ederson
07:52following a foul by the Ghanaian Thomas Partey.
07:54But the best scorer of Serie A in this start of the season,
07:56Matteo Retegui,
07:58lost his duel twice against David Raya.
08:01First on the shot at 11 metres,
08:03before seeing his next head,
08:05the action pushed back in front of the line
08:07by the Spanish goalkeeper.
08:09The match against the quarter-finalist of the last C1
08:11and the Europa League title holder
08:13will finally be concluded
08:15on a clean sheet.
08:19Finally, in Madrid, Atletico
08:21won against RB Leipzig
08:23in one of the posters of this first day
08:25of the Coupe Aux Grandes Oreilles.
08:27However, the Colchoneros were quickly surprised
08:29by the German scorer
08:31who unblocked the goal
08:33with his Slovenian star, Benjamin Cesco,
08:35in the fourth minute of the game.
08:37The French striker, Antoine Griezmann,
08:39didn't give up.
08:41He scored the first goal
08:43half an hour before.
08:45To see a new goal in this match,
08:47we had to wait for the 90th minute
08:49to see the decisive pass
08:51of Griezmann
08:53for Jose Maria Jimenez
08:55and launch the European campaign
08:57of the Civitas Metropolitano
08:59retirees.
09:01In Africa, this time,
09:03the qualifications for the two continental competitions
09:05continue today with the Moroccans
09:07of the Renaissance Sportive de Breken
09:09who face the Benouins of Dadier.
09:11For this second preliminary round,
09:13the Oranges have already found a good option
09:15for their qualification in the group stage
09:17of the African Football Confederation Cup
09:19by beating their opponent of the evening
09:21in Benin with a final score of 2-0
09:23with the achievements scored by Bol Bassen
09:25and Ayoub Kheiri, both in the second period.
09:27In case of confirmation of the result of the match,
09:29the Renaissance will be the only representative
09:31of Moroccan football
09:33after the premature elimination
09:35of Union Tuelga in qualification.
09:39This official report,
09:41Arnold has resigned from his position
09:43as selector of the Australian football team
09:45after a series of bad results
09:47announced by the Australian Football Federation
09:49in a press release.
09:51After having thought about it,
09:53I think it's time to bring blood to the head of the team
09:55to declare in this statement
09:57the one who led the Socorroos.
09:59Since August 2018, the decision of this 61-year-old
10:01player intervenes after a home defeat
10:03against Bahrain on September 5,
10:05followed by a 0-0 match in Indonesia
10:07on September 10,
10:09which means that Australia is only
10:11fifth and penultimate in Group C
10:13of the third round of qualifications
10:15in the Asian zone after two days.
10:17Results well below the standards
10:19of a team that had led it to the eighth
10:21final in the 2022 World Cup
10:23where it had been eliminated by Argentina,
10:25future world champion.
10:28And we start this little tour of Asia
