1 week ago Xabi Alonso sets out plan to make Real Madrid players ‘flourish’ in new era

‘I want players to play where they are most comfortable’Manager reveals plans for Jude Bellingham’s midfield roleThe way Xabi Alonso told it, two things have to happen for someone to become Real Madrid coach: “First they have to want you, then you have to want to and the latter normally does happen,” he said. So there he was at Valdebebas on a Monday afternoon in a classic dark suit and his first day in a new job – just 24 hours – or so he claimed – after he was told it was his.Alonso’s appointment has been an open secret for weeks but Real had waited until the day before the end of the season to announce the departure of Carlo Ancelotti and until the day after to announce the arrival of his successor. The following morning, there he was, keen to keep up the illusion. Alonso had been able to watch and analyse Real’s games, which must have taken some time, yet asked when he found out, he said: “Yesterday, when I saw the statement. It was evident then. How could I not find out?” Conti...

Now, Trump runs wild and Biden’s legacy is buried beneath a heap of unkind reporting – and bouquets of sympathy, after news of his cancer.Original Sin is published in the US by Penguin Random House Continue reading...

2 w. ago ‘He gave us a sense of pride’: Rev Al Sharpton on Malcolm X’s 100th birthday

Veteran activist reflects on Malcolm’s legacy and decades of progress now rolled back by Trump and ‘white supremacy on steroids’When African Americans protested police brutality in New York, they were portrayed as rioters, Malcolm X told an audience at the London School of Economics. When shop windows were smashed in the Black community, he said, the press gave the impression that “hoodlums, vagrants, criminals” wanted to break in and steal merchandise.“But this is wrong,” Malcolm contended. “In America the Black community in which we live is not owned by us. The landlord is white. The merchant is white. In fact, the entire economy of the Black community in the states is controlled by someone who doesn’t even live there And these are the people who suck the economic blood of our community.” Continue reading...
