Discipline, hard work, accountability, consistency.

It’s always the attention to detail that makes the difference.

My writing… Away from the Euro action, this Saturday sees a colossal derby in the EFL Championship, the East Anglia Derby Ipswich v Norwich: My interview with 17-time Switzerland international, since 23/24 an U21s coach at FC Basel 1893 Timm Klose: "Norwich fans are loyal, the atmosphere of the derby is electric" In England’s second tier, the EFL Championship, David Wagner’s Norwich travel to local rivals Ipswich in the 115th derby between the two on Saturday. This is a crucial game in the former BVB U23 coach’s career; 'The Canaries' are currently 13th are up against leaders Ipswich. The contrast couldn’t be greater. The Yellow and Greens are 6 points off a play-off spot and a loss would see that gap stretch to an ever more critical gap in the promotion chase. A club of the size of Norwich needs to be in the mix for promotion. Has the Frankfurt-born firmer Mainz 05 striker been given a real chance at Carrow road? David Wagner has not been given a budget since joining in January, in spite of the big transfers of Andrew Omobamidele, Max Aarons and Milot Raschica which brought in over £25m. The only spending has been Christian Fastnacht from YB Bern for £3m. Arguably the club's leadership, surrounding outgoing sporting director Stuart Webber, have not backed Wagner's vision and have only themselves to blame for being out of contention. Ipswich are formidably led by former Manchester United assistant manager Kieran McKenna, himself a former Northern Ireland international. In spite of investing only £3m in the summer and with a squad half of the value of their local rivals; £34m v £70m, Ipswich have lost only twice this season and are playing fine football. McKenna has focussed on what they do without the ball and on making it as hard as possible for the opposition to transition from defence to attack, this team are hard to beat. The blue half of East Anglia feels like a better place to be right now, at least in football terms.

Overall, results are evenly balanced City have won 47 and Ipswich 45 of the games played. What is the Ipswich v Norwich dynamic? Here is a video which is illustrates this from the terraces better than any words: https://lnkd.in/efXewyqK The scorer of ‘that goal’? Swiss international, former VFL Wolfsburg centreback Timm Klose. Timm, right in the image below, tells the story of that goal in 2019, the significance of the derby, his five years with Norwich including Premier League promotion, anecdotes from his Bundesliga career, winning the DFB Pokal, and life with the ''Die Nati' Switzerland national team, on episode 49 of the ‘Dortmund Fan Club London' podcast: https://lnkd.in/eJm-4e7j The sold-out game at the 29,000 capacity Portman Road stadium is a 1230 (UK) kick-off.

🤯 286 runs on 1 ball! That bizarre incident occurred in 1894 during a match between Western Australia and Victoria. The batsman hit a shot, and the ball got stuck in a tree. The bowling side requested to declare the ball lost, but it was clearly visible on the tree. So, the umpire rejected the appeal. The tree was cut down, but in the meantime, both players made 286 runs! 🌳🏏 1. #CricketHistory 2. #UnbelievableCricketMoments 3. #StrangeCricketIncident 4. #UniqueCricketRecords 5. #HistoricalCricketMatches 6. #CricketTrivia 7. #RemarkableSportsEvents 8. #ExtraordinaryCricketStories 9. #FascinatingCricketAnecdotes 10. #LegendaryCricketLegends
