 We are here for the last hour over the touch line that time for your fan favorite segment, the fan zone, considering it's all about marchers coming left, right and center, and the big marcher from five today will be the El Classico Barcelona versus Real Madrid. How will that one panel? But also tomorrow we've got the big one between Manchester United home to Manchester City. But before that we've got to talk about one team that is making fans in London dream for what they can achieve at the end of the season. Can Tottenham actually make that dream come true for their fans? It's been long, it's been a minute, Pochettino tried, but you could not go past the last line. But today let's see what Ange Postangulu, that name still I've forgotten, but I'll still try to remember. Jenny Mia, for the fans zone, for the first time is Mariam Kageni, Mariam Karibu wa 254. Thank you so much for having me. How are you doing? I am good waiting for a Chelsea game because I'm a Chelsea person. Chelsea is your team. Chelsea is my team. Blue all the way. Last time I was at the point where I had to go to the end of the season. Two people went to the end of the season, three points in the bag. Imagine that. But we did try. A lot of people were looking at Chelsea as the underdogs. Of course there was a lot of expectation on us being a team that has been in best form for the last season. They are also contenders of winning the title. So, we tried to show them that we have a record signing, so we are trying to balance these players, people in injury and all that, and just see what can be made out of it. Kwa matuwekia tawamiru ni? Matuwekia. They had also barry seal with me so far. Barry, gamle, very tough the way they come and everything, but if you look at Tottenham from how they started this season and how they are playing, they are really playing the best football this season with this new coach that they have. Yes, like you said, the former Celtic manager, Angepost, was the other man. We need to know that pronounciation. Yes, the Romanian guy. So, Australian, Australian. Okay, so look, apart from how he came leaving, I don't think Passe the team has been dismantled. It's not like what maybe Chelsea did. So, in that regard, Tottenham, they have maintained some kind of consistency in terms of player retention. Number two, they have given players some kind of freedom. Now, we have the captain Son playing with a lot of freedom and smile in his face. They acquired a top player in the shape of James Madison from Leicester. So, the team is looking very good gel together and attacking is very dangerous and they are also very organized defensively. I believe that they are the only team so far that has not lost a match and they are now on top of the table. So, usually for such teams we ask, when will they stumble? You understand like, are they just setting the pace for the big boys? Yes. Or is this the time that East London, the small team from East London, Tottenham, the other big London spend us that we are the new boys in town. So, they have a very good coach who understands the game and who has come and adapted so fast to the English Premier League. I expect them to keep pushing but we will start measuring teams from after December. Second leg, let's say January, second leg comes in. Is the tempo going to be kept? Are they going to meet with guys like City, Arsenal, Manu and get full points? Not just a draw something. So, it's still open. Can they pull a Leicester? Can Tottenham do that? For me, when I look at Tottenham, just like he said right now it's a bit early. But we were having this discussion with my friend and we were talking about how right now Tottenham is not dependent on one player. When a team is dependent on one player, it's become very dangerous because everyone, all the efforts that were made by Harry Kane, all the efforts were made by Harry Kane. And we were also saying, you know, Harry Kane right now is at Bayern and when you see his game right now, it's not like all the light is on him. There are players like Sonny and, you know, it's a whole team and that's what Tottenham has managed to make right now. It's not about so on, there is Maggi. It's just a teamwork. And when you play as a team, expect magic. So still I don't think there are contendants for that cup, but I think they're going to give us a good run. We will enjoy it. Of course for top 6, I feel that they are there. Ata top 4. Ata top 4. They are there for sure. Well Tottenham is one team that is actually playing very well so far and they have impressed everyone. And yesterday they won 2-1 against Crystal Palace, 26 points of the 10 matches they have played and leading the table by 5 points. They have already won against Manchester United in one of the big teams and they are still waiting to play other teams. Moving on. El Clasico is another big, big match that we are waiting for. I think the first leg of the El Clasico and the one who usually wins the El Clasico can go ahead and win the La Liga trophy. El Clasico na Yonaji? Ah, let me be biased and say, hello Madrid. You don't run a TV. That's my team but you know with El Clasico there's a lot of pressure. You'd never know what to expect. From Real Madrid if I look at their games they have been making a lot of, they've been missing a lot of chances. Barcelona is still not the Barcelona that we used to know. So we're still looking at these two teams but I'm placing the money on Real Madrid. Real Madrid. You look at Savi, I think he is the first El Clasico he won in 4-0 against Madrid and it was against Carlo Ancelotti. He played very well, he has come in, he has won the La Liga. Can he maintain that momentum with these young kids considering the injuries that he has in his team so far? You mentioned two key elements there, injuries and young kids. The opposite is happening with Madrid. They have seen and experienced players, of course mixed with younger players and don't form as well. So number one I think Madrid will win this game. Number two it will be an entertaining game. But I think you cannot compare the El Clasico of today and the ones from 4-5 years ago. I think it's like rebuilding a new momentum. But one thing for sure is that this particular game will be interesting. Tactics will come into play, there will be a lot of physicality, there will be a lot of running. But I still see the form of the likes of Bellingham, he makes things happen there. That will be advantage to Madrid. With the likes of Lewandowski missing, that will be a disadvantage to Basela. But it will be a thriller nonetheless. We know that considering that you have a Real Madrid team that wants to come back to the top with the signing they made with Jude Bellingham coming in. Kwanzaa, this is fast El Clasico. Actually top player since he signed for Real Madrid. Can Barcelona humble him down or is ready for such a big stage? Right now you see the last El Clasico of course it was in favour of Barcelona. So this time they are trying to show the fans that we have this in place. We are going to challenge them and taking advantage. Having a player like Jude Bellingham big stages as a performer is going to be an advantage. Anselotti is going to use it to his advantage. So I can see goodness in the Real Madrid side. It's going to be good and Jude will perform as usual. Well it's a big one there. And other players that will come in for Real Madrid, I just saw them enjoying their new BMW cars. I can see that they are enjoying their new BMW cars. They are enjoying their new BMW cars, and they are enjoying their new cars. They are driving and they are saying that they are going to be in the next stage. Brands. Brands. A lot of people are going to lose against Barcelona. Because of the people they are going to lose. Like the motivation they are being given to go and play in a game like that. It's massive. New model BMWs, I think they are called X13Ds, something like that. And they are the first people to get those machines. And then they go and play against Barcelona. That's a big motivation boost. Yeah, very big motivation for... These are football players today, they are not just footballers, they are ambassadors. They are brand magnets. Right from the boot, some people have boot agreements. Now you see they have car deals. So there's a lot of investment beyond the player. There's also TV and a spotlight on them. And for such a big game, people are putting money. So expect a good game this evening. That's for sure. I don't know how to say it but the question I will put for you is where will it be won between these two sides? I think for me the battle will be won in the midfield. Yes? If we have too many and come a vinga play in that hole. Yes. And allowing Birmingham to... We just move freely in the middle. Yes. And the number 10 eight switch roles left, right. Yeah. I think it will be too much work for Barcelona. Because the attacking prowess also of Madrid is very, very good. Look at Vinicius is now back. So we want to... I don't know if I will say Barcelona will struggle but Barcelona has to be a lot. Let me use that term. Barcelona has to be very a lot. When the ball on Jude's feet he can do anything with the ball. So for me the key man in the game for Madrid will be Jude. The key man on the other side for me will be the defenders. You are not giving goondog and a chance to side in such a game for you. Where do you think the game will be won? Like I said, Barcelona spotlight on Jude. Yes. In most games like this the attack is going to be fierce especially in the Real Madrid side. Yes. There is going to be fierce attack. Just like him a lot of work on the defending side of Barcelona. If we have such an attack kazi kubuakwa defenders. So definitely on rotation hapoka tikati to the attacking area for Real Madrid. That's the victory point. Well it is the touch line here on Y254 Marion Kageni, Barry Sela, Robert Osoro. We are having fun here talking about some of the matches that are coming on this weekend. We'll be waiting to talk about the fixtures for this weekend. But before we talk about the fixtures of the games that are playing today, let's talk about one key game that will be played tomorrow. It is the Manchester Dabbi. A game between Mashetani and Kundo. You and Gino Mashetani. You and Gino. Mashetani, Kundo na wana inchi. That game is key for both sides. Tough start for Manchester United. Not anyone expected it to be this way. But they started the way they have started and now they are playing the Premier League winners who have actually been getting points at Old Trafford. Do you see Manchester United standing our city this time around in the Dabbi? I see it's going to be difficult because there are two key men missing in that hole of the defence. Verran and Lissandro Martinez. So now they make shifts. Now we have Maguire back, the old captain is back. I saw Verran playing the Champions League and also Linda Love. With injuries to keep players and now you have to have Magshift adjustments ahead. Just a few days ahead of a key game. It's not ideal for any coach. So that should be the headache number one for Eric Tenhaga. Number two, he's hoping and praying that Andrea Onana will stay on point. He has to be on point. Always talk and guide his defenders especially when they don't have the ball. But also they have to, Manchester has to hope, the likes of Hojbag and Rashford have to be awake and Bruno has to make things up and in the middle. On the other side, I mean it's free flowing. You don't have Kevin De Bruyne, you don't have Grilish but this guy, this Pep Guardiola as well is a plan B for all of this. For me I think I'd say 70% and give a city win. But if Manchester, during such games sometimes they really wake up. If they really wake up and push, it could be a draw. But I don't know if they can win. I don't know. One thing about Manchester United games, when they are home they are really tough. When they are home they bring their A game on. So let's not overlook that regardless of who is not there. So I'd give them, I'd still give the city 60 and United 40. It's going to be a good game. Like I said, the likes of KDB are not present but there is players like Jeremy Doku has been really brilliant. So with Pep Guardiola he has options. This guy has everything. It's a perfect team. You miss this player, Grilish is not there. They always back up. So he has a perfect team. And there's a lot of pressure in United's side. But when you look at Onana, we can't still rely on him fully. Remember this, the first time he's starting to gain a little bit of confidence He saved a penalty on Wednesday. He did great but still there's not so much confidence in him for United fans. We can't fully rely on him. But with that UEFA brilliance he could be now having some bit of confidence in himself that finally I can do it in big stages. Hari Maguaya also was brilliant so let's not overlook that. Hari Maguaya is going to try and make the defence a bit tough so United are going to be something when they are home. They are playing at Old Trafford so it's going to be a good game. And also maybe sorry just to add a bit. In this match again the battle will probably be won in the midfield. So how they set up Manchester United in the midfield that will be set up compact. They are chasing a fitness for Casemiro to be back into the midfield. I mean that is already a headache in itself. So how he will make shift changes here and there. It's not ideal ahead of a game like this. Is it a situation where Ten Haag should be confident to go with the two holding because he brought in Amrabat. Amrabat to play in that midfield. Casemiro also to play in that midfield and give Bruno a chance to play that 8th position or 10th. Amrabat and Maktumini maybe. Amrabat and Maktumini yes. Bruno in the middle. And then Hojibag and then Rashford and Anthony. Anthony sometimes is up and down. He just hopes these people may do their job. They also have a problem. I mean for me the problem I usually have with Ten Haag is usually over things. The problem also with Godiaul and everything. In that you can have a good team and you can say we can predict this line up then you end up saying I am Amrabat playing 3th. You see if I Rashford playing 7th or the right instead of left. So also as a coach is someone who can come in and the way he sets up his team the coach himself sets his team to fail instead of winning. Ya I mean that's very true. So if first of all you have to study the opponent's strengths and then your own weakness then try to balance. But as much as possible especially if your home attack more but also try to have a lot of the ball so that you keep the other side under pressure because a team like City with the ball on their feet I mean they are dangerous but also they know how to cut you out when they don't have the ball. So when you have guys like Rodri I mean you know you will have a lot of hard time. Well it's a big one for Rodri and everything. Is it this week where we have the balloon duo? Ya wards are also coming on and everything. And big names they are six players for the balloon duo we have got Kevin De Bruyne Gundogan, Rodri, Edderson the goalkeeper Harland. Do you think Manciti can win or Messi will go with it because of the World Cup? Oh this Messi has it. This one is so big. He can't overlook the might of World Cup as much as he's at trouble and all that. The glory of the World Cup he can't overlook. So it's looking pretty good for Lianas. Manciti is still doing it at his age winning such and competing with the young guys so it's looking good for Messi. There's always been talks of Messi, Harland but I'll place my bets on Messi. That's a big account. For me I have a problem with the balloon duo because when they talk of Harland they only talk of goals. The way they did for a long time between Cristiano and Messi. Mabao mabao mabao. Not giving other players a chance and players have been key for Manchester. Like you look in Manchester City one player who played most games for city in Europe was Rodri. He scored a key goal in the final. He was the key pillar of Man City even up to the moment. Without Rodri, that team cannot perform very well. Why not give him that balloon duo? I think it's a problem. I think Ballondo is a political tool also and maybe one of the guiding factors of winning is maybe your contribution to goals and the goals. For example, it's hard for a defender to win the pilot. Or a good keeper to win. So they'll give their attacking side Harland has scored a lot of goals but Harland, a couple of finals has been dead like nonexistent. Like if you get a hold of Harland where you need to defend against him but Messi always wakes up in finals. See what he did against France. So I think it's Messi and maybe it's his final I don't think he can choose to retire or something. Well, we've got four coaches. Will you give it to Gudiola? Oh, they are coaches of the year as well? Yeah, coach of the year. No, maybe the Skoloni the coach of Argentina. Because of the World Cup. This World Cup is favouring. It's really favouring a lot of people. Or we should have different awards for the World Cup. No, but that is the book. It's the fifth award player of the year Oh, okay. Yeah, those ones are already done. So we've got the Balloon Dio and they usually come up and these are when we give the managers usually the coach, the captains and the funds. I think the funds are there but our votes are not that I think it's the captains and the coaches is the one that matters the most. So, some of the matches today Abdul let's see those fixtures and look at some of the matches that are being played today and see how they are going to be. We talked about Chelsea the early kickoff against Brentford as you know against the Sheffield Bournemouth will be home to Burnley and then Wolves will be home to Newcastle. We've already started We've already started We've already started By the way, four matches and bitings and if he does it against the bees today we'll have so much confidence. He knows what he's doing so if he does it today against Brentford it's going to be like a seal and fans are going to regain their confidence because if the fans who are frustrated right now for their past two seasons so right now if this is going to go well and work out for him they managed to tackle deal with Brentford they have been suffering with a number of injuries but then again this is a team that has been buying players in bulk so let's see what happens A person who is not to me but it's only me who is not to fight in a Rudisha has not been to our favor but a brilliant coach will know how to work with this When I look at Chelsea it reminds me of not Belgium a golden generation a golden age young players and trying to figure out how we're going to play with young players if he can be able to bring the best out of these players because right now I think that Mudrik is starting to get his confidence and a lot of players are starting to shine a little bit as compared to how we saw last season when Lampard was there and right now things are looking really good so if we held Asino and played 65 minutes of brilliance Brentford leo kitai leweka we'll do back of this Chelsea Pia Olyanza Shekis that they had but so far four matches I think they had won three before the international break the only problem I had was when they were playing from the back the mistake the goalkeeper did made rice score that goal but with these young players and she has put it they can be now that trademark style of pochettino and they can do something this season I think when a new coach comes the team the players take time to adapt to his style and system but now he can see maybe his philosophy starting to take root some of the injured players are coming back the key but also at the back of the coach's mind he doesn't want to risk some players all out like for example risk came other game champions league but for a few minutes and this is the captain so it's a matter of balancing for the coach he has the score but some players are still new they are getting time to gel like somebody like Kunku has not even played a single match now he is back to training but he is training on his own maybe he is thinking of next season if I can set a season with a bang like fresh all the 25 players healthy for now maybe I don't know his aim maybe is top 6 because if they finished I think 11 if he can say top 6 that will be credit to maybe progress with a new team basically a whole new team you can finish the season without any other injuries that's a plus and then now tackle next season with fresh with the fresh purpose with fresh legs and also you are lucky not to be playing in European football so it reduces your workload and also reduces people getting injuries so you can even have the luxury of changing players like this rotate sit on the bench start so here is the squad and now the players maybe are beginning to adapt to understand the style umu mese mna leu ktai leweka leu ktai leweka I don't know any team creta wa Rambo because Brentford one team that can shock you that's what they call the biz Naora say mo gopa alikiko Alikiko is not an easy game to, you can later start with a bang or tables can turn on you Who is at home with Chelsea? Let's look at the other games, we can also Arsenal is also playing today and also for them they can also win and we can see how they are playing there We've got Westham, Ebatun, that's tomorrow that's a big game between those two Westham lost to Man City last time Brighton against Fulham then we have Aston Villa versus Luton Town I asked on Villa Pier and I cheza very well actually one against Westham 4-1 against Westham so they are playing Luton Town and then Liverpool versus Nottingham Forest will also be tomorrow Big one to finish off today will be Manchester United versus Manchester City Which game can you pick here that can be a big one for you to watch Westham, Ebatun? No, no, no All of them they lost last weekend Maybe City United is the good game Of course this one Arsenal is playing Let's see what Arsenal is playing there I'm not wrong Sheffield United Sheffield is a good game Wolves in Newcastle is a good game Wolves in Newcastle are 7-3 It's a good game Newcastle have been playing very well and they win They are away to come They are away, Wolves don't like that Bangmout, Burnley they can win Let's talk about Arsenal Sheffield at 5 because Arsenal is also a big big game They have proved not to be an easy team to beat this time round To go to play against Arsenal Jungasan And this confidence started from last season He just missed it Kidogo at the end last season But the team has new guys coming in Maybe a few still struggling to jail like Havertz But some like Rice already settled And then in between those Jesus got injured the other day Saka against Chelsea He didn't come really fully fit Some of these guys are from injury Tomas Pati is back to injury So if the coach Ateta can get players healthy and fit And balance between the three competitions I think it's three easy Then you can still push man city and spas Briefly and finally Arsenal is one team that is actually finishing games On a high tempo What they did against city They have done against Chelsea And now you can see their tempo Even against United When they are finishing games When they bring in players like Trosad They change the game completely And they really push it To go, they like in Ketia When they come in as a sub They push the tempo higher Can they push again Sheffield Can they get three points this evening? Sheffield is usually Sheffield is below the table But one thing I like about Sheffield is When it plays against big teams It knows how to punish them It just bring that brilliance Even again, Arsenal are in their top form Everyone knows that They want to win as many games as they can Because this is their chance It's now or never You backslide Kado Gotu And the title race you out Because teams like City teams Like Tottenham, Liverpool Is also coming up really nicely So these are teams that you blanda Kido Gotu just a small bit And the race is over Remember what season it was A very minimal gap And Unatoleo Komdomo So this one they're going to take it seriously Remember Kwanzaa Drawing against Chelsea When they were on their best form It was quite frustrating for them They were like oh, they now Hold up a little bit What is happening and we are Carved right now and I remember that game Pochentino what he did was He was able to carve the middle field So he is going to make Goodies of his His middle field today And make sure that the ball Is going to be supplied as much as possible And make the attack Very strong and beat Shafil So yeah, Arsenal is going to come up Strongly It's not going to be an easy game I can say but Arsenal are going to win this one They are brilliant Thanks a lot Marion Kajeni Coming on to the touch Right before the very first time Where will you be this afternoon One game that you have to watch El Classico El Classico And then later on that I think there will be Wolf game and then the rugby Well The sub of the events In sports that will be following up The Central European Rally Is live here And you can still watch it And also it will be going on until tomorrow El Classico will be coming away from Fives But don't forget the rugby World Cup final Will it be a repeat of the 1995 World Cup final Or will it be New Zealand Taking their fourth World Cup Title I'm Robert Osoro For everyone who has managed to make this production a success We say good afternoon Here on Y254
