1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,399
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Jamie Rudd. This is the messy effect. And

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:07,400
today we've got two football legends taking over national teams,

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:11,240
a rule change that could make fake injuries even more awkward,

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:15,160
and a fifty nine year old striker reminding everybody that

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,800
football has no age limit. Let's get into it. The

6
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:23,039
lead is Xinidin Zidan taking charge of France. The former

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,760
Real Madrid manager and France captain has been confirmed as

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,559
the new head coach of Lais Blue, replacing Didier de

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,000
Cham after France's World Cup semi final defeat to Spain.

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,719
Zidan has been out of management since leaving Real Madrid

11
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:42,000
in twenty twenty one, but the job has always felt

12
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,799
like his destiny. He won three Champions League titles in

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,799
a row with Madrid, he knows the pressure of the

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,719
French national team better than almost anyone, and now he

15
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:56,039
gets the chance to build the next generation of Lay Blue.

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,920
It is an extraordinary week for international football. Yeajen Klopp

17
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:05,239
has taken the Germany job and now Zidan has taken France.

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Two of the biggest names in the modern game are

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,959
back in the dugout at the same time, both with

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,799
four year projects and both trying to rebuild major football

21
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:19,359
nations after disappointing World Cups. The next chapter of the

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,040
rivalry between Germany and France just got a lot more

23
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:26,640
interesting now to a rule change that is already causing

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,359
arguments before the season even starts. English Football is trialing

25
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:35,200
a new goalkeeper tactical time out rule, beginning with the

26
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,239
League Cup on August first. If a goalkeeper goes down

27
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,359
and needs treatment, the coach has ten seconds to choose

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,319
an outfield player to leave the pitch for one minute.

29
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:49,680
The idea is to punish teams for using fake goalkeeper

30
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:53,799
injuries to slow the game down or get tactical instructions

31
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:57,239
from the bench, but it also creates a strange new question.

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,680
Who does the coach sacrifice and what what happens if

33
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,879
the injury is completely legitimate. Expect players, managers and supporters

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,199
to have strong opinions almost immediately. The rule is part

35
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,960
of a wider English football trial involving the Premier League,

36
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,000
the EFL, the Women's Super League and the Football Association.

37
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:21,680
It is an attempt to deal with one of football's

38
00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:26,199
oldest dark arts without simply adding more stoppage time. Whether

39
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,759
it works or creates an even bigger spectacle is going

40
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,639
to be one of the most entertaining experiments of the

41
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:36,159
new season. And finally, the feel good story of the

42
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,560
day belongs to Kazu Yoshimura, better known as King Kazu.

43
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,800
At fifty nine years old, the world's oldest professional footballer

44
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,879
scored his first competitive goal in nearly four years. Mira

45
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,520
struck in the fifty c second minute for Fukushima United

46
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:58,680
as they demolished Iwaki Furukawa seven zero in the Emperor's Cup.

47
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,719
He joined the Jayla League third division club at the

48
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:04,800
start of the year, and he is still finding ways

49
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:09,360
to make football history. Fifty nine years old, still scoring,

50
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,439
still celebrating, and still refusing to act like the game

51
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,879
has an expiration date. Zidan is back with France, Klop

52
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:22,080
is back with Germany. English football is trying to outsmart

53
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,840
the dark Arts, and King Kazu is still scoring at

54
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:28,759
fifty nine. Not a bad day for football for the

55
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,680
messy effect, I'm Jamie Rudd.
