(1:30)Nov 13, 2024, 11:22 AM ETOrlando Pride striker Barbra Banda has said playing alongside her childhood idol Marta is a "dream come true" and pushes her to be the best version of herself.Banda became teammates with Marta after joining Pride for a near-record fee of $740,000 in March from Chinese Super League team Shanghai Shengli. The duo's exploits fired Pride into the playoffs as the No. 1 seed and saw them named on the NWSL MVP shortlist.The Zambia international finished second in the race for the Golden Boot with 13 goals in the regular season, while Marta is enjoying her best-ever season for Pride with nine goals and an assist this season. The 39-year-old has also been nominated for the newly created midfielder of the year award."It's something [playing with Marta] that to me, is a dream come true because I've always been looking up to Marta since I was young," Banda said on Futbol W after finishing third on ESPN FC Women's Rank."So playing alongside her, it's really motivates me. The encouragement that she gives to me ... she always pushed me. She always tries to encourage me to do right and to be the best. So I think on my side, I feel I'm in safe hands with Orlando and the teammates. It's a team that encourages a team that wants to push one another. So it's very important for me."In a year that seen her become one of the best-paid players in the NWSL and represent Zambia at the Paris Olympics, Banda said winning the Shield with Pride has been her highlight of 2024."I think the greatest part [of 2024] is winning the Shield with Orlando. I think that was so amazing to me," she said."It was the first trophy that I've worn with any team since I started playing my professional football. So I feel it was a great moment for me."The Zambia international's brace against Chicago Stars secured Pride's spot in the playoff semifinal against Kansas City Current. The clash will see Banda come up against Golden Boot winner Temwa Chawinga but one-upping her striking rival on Sunday isn't what is fueling her."Honestly, my football passion is ... I'm not competing with any of my friends, but I always say when I have a chance and opportunity, I have to utilize it wisely," she said."So definitely I want to put [a] smile on their [Pride] faces. Everyone as a team, we need to win. This is our aim, our target. So I'm doing it for the team and for everyone in Orlando."So I'm not taking it as a competition but I just have to enjoy what I love doing to have good football and good moment. And at the end of the day you celebrate." ,Barbra Banda, del Orlando Pride, comparte su emoción por jugar al lado de Marta, su ídolo de infancia, en una temporada destacada en la NWSL.](https://losdeportes.mx/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Wed-13-Nov-2024-113830-EST.jpg)

(1:24)Nov 13, 2024, 10:47 AM ETA new bid to break the impasse between Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco and Thibaut Courtois has been made but there is time frame for when the Real Madrid goalkeeper may return to the team, Tedesco said on Wednesday.Courtois has not played for Belgium since June last year when he had a falling out with the coach after not being appointed captain for a European Championship qualifier in Estonia.Although he suffered a serious knee injury and missed most of last season, Courtois did return to help Real win the Champions League before sitting out Euro 2024 in Germany.In August, the 32-year-old Courtois, who has won 102 caps, confirmed he would no longer play for Belgium as long as Tedesco was coach but new Belgian football association chief executive officer Peter Willems has travelled to Madrid to try and persuade him to reconsider."He informed me some weeks ago about it, so I knew [about the talks]," Tedesco told a news conference on the eve of the Nations League clash with Italy in Brussels.The 32-year-old Courtois has not played for Belgium since June 2023. Linnea Rheborg/Getty Images"He (Willems) asked me what do you think about it? For me, first of all, he has all the rights to do that as a CEO, of course. And second, I was always and I'm still completely open to it. I think that on this topic, everything has been discussed."Willems told local reporters on Tuesday that Tedesco was "absolutely the right man in the right place" but that he was eager to solve the Courtois issue.In a statement on social media in August, Courtois said: "Unfortunately, following the events with the coach and after much reflection, I have decided not to return to the Belgian national team under his management." ,Real Madrid podría ver un posible regreso de Thibaut Courtois al equipo, tras nuevos intentos de reconciliación con el entrenador de Bélgica, Domenico Tedesco.](https://losdeportes.mx/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Wed-13-Nov-2024-110115-EST.jpg)

Ricardo Pepi en busca de titularidad con PSV y USMNT
![Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. The term "super-sub" is one that elicits conflicting emotions for a player. On the one hand, there's an acknowledgement that their contributions are valued. After all, they are getting on the field. But on the other, the role is limiting, with the lack of minutes making it harder for a player to grow, both in terms of ability and their standing within the team.So it is proving for Ricardo Pepi.The 21-year-old has filled the role of super sub for both PSV Eindhoven, and the U.S. men's national team for the entirety of this World Cup cycle. Of his 19 international appearances since the start of 2023, 15 have been off the bench, as are six of the eight goals Pepi has scored. It's been no different at club level during the past two seasons. During the 2023-24 season, all nine of Pepi's goals came in a substitute role. This season, 12 of his 15 appearances have come off the bench.When the topic is broached with Pepi, one can almost sense a hint of frustration. He refers to it as "that word" as if it's "The Word That Shall Not Be Said.""The way I take it, obviously people are noticing the things that I'm doing whenever I come in as a sub, and it makes them say the word," Pepi told ESPN. "But at the same time, hearing that word, it makes me want to, I don't know, punch something because at the same time, I just want to play more minutes. I want to get to a point where I'm a starter. So I think that's really important."It just so happens that the pothole-littered path to starting for the U.S. may be smoothing out for Pepi. Certainly, an opportunity beckons for the El Paso, Texas native as the USMNT prepares for the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals against Jamaica.A trio of U.S. strikers -- Folarin Balogun, Josh Sargent and Haji Wright -- are all out with injuries. That leaves just two out-and-out strikers on the U.S. roster: Pepi and Brandon Vázquez. Pepi would appear to be the proverbial next man up, especially given that he scored -- yes, off the bench -- in the USMNT's 2-0 friendly win over Panama last month."We trust in his talent," U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino said. "It's a player, a striker that always -- if he plays one minute, 10 minutes, 20 minutes or 90 minutes -- always is an offensive player that is going to have chances to score. Yes, it's a great opportunity."Pepi's situation is evolving at club level, too. It has helped his cause that PSV manager Peter Bosz has rotated his side more than last season. During the 2023-24 campaign, Pepi made a total of 40 appearances across all competitions, but this amounted to just 674 minutes of playing time. This season, the PSV forward has already logged 438 minutes, scoring six times in 15 appearances with the season not even halfway done. He's also already started more games this season (three) than he did in all of 2023-24, when he made just two starts.It speaks to an increased level of faith in the U.S. striker. Sources have told ESPN Netherlands that Bosz has been impressed by Pepi's work rate in training. It also helps that such is PSV's edge in overall talent compared to most other teams in the Eredivisie that Bosz can often afford to play something less than his best starting XI, saving his preferred lineup for the UEFA Champions League matches.Pepi still finds his way to even more playing time blocked by PSV captain Luuk de Jong, and when he does get on the field, often it's late in matches when PSV has already worn down opponents. Everyone at the club sees Pepi's nose for goal, though, and are keen to exploit that where they can. Bosz is eager, however, to see Pepi improve other parts of his game besides goal scoring. These include being better in possession, or being "ball-proof," as Bosz puts it.Ricardo Pepi has scored six times in 15 matches for PSV so far this season. Photo Prestige/Soccrates/Getty Images"[Pepi] is working very hard on that and he is doing that very well." Bosz said following PSV's 6-0 win over PEC Zwolle on Oct. 26, a game in which Pepi scored twice.It's a situation that in some ways is similar to what Pepi faced when he first broke into the FC Dallas first team. At that time, Dallas had forward and Designated Player Franco Jara on its books, yet such was the level of Pepi's play that he eventually forced his way into the lineup."[Pepi] kept working, and kept showing that he could earn an opportunity through his training, through his performance on the second team, through his mentality," then-Dallas manager Luchi Gonzalez, who first saw Pepi play as a 12-year-old in El Paso, said to ESPN. "And once he started getting the sniff with the first team consistently and getting starts, he was scoring goals."Gonzalez, who also coached Pepi during his stint as an assistant with the U.S. prior to the 2022 World Cup, now sees a player who is physically stronger than when he first went to Europe with FC Augsburg in 2022. This has led to improved balance and timing."Pepi always had intensity to his game, but is he going to win duels? Is he going to win the header with the center-back? Is he going to win the header in the box when he's marked?" Gonzalez said. "It's like, is he going to be pushed off balance or is he going to hold his ground? So I see an improvement of him physically. You can see him, he's just stronger."Pochettino wants to continue that trend in order to add to Pepi's all-around game. During last Sunday's conference call with reporters, Pochettino said he was going to be "very, very, very tough" with Pepi in order to get the striker to improve his game in all areas. It's an approach that the player welcomes.Herculez Gomez and Sebastian Salazar debate the biggest storylines and break down the best highlights that soccer in the Americas has to offer. Stream on ESPN+ (U.S. only) "It comes out most of the time, of course, in training," Pepi said. "[Pochettino] is always pushing it to my limits, whether it's with the pressing, whether it's scoring goals and stuff like that. So yeah, it's something that I really appreciate. I don't shy away from these types of coaches. I think it's something that for me is necessary to be able to get pushed to the end, and I feel like that's what makes me as a player."There is also the mental toll of being a super-sub. Pepi spoke of how he's had to be patient for both club and country, but that dealing with limited minutes has been difficult emotionally."It's not easy to just sit there, and on weekends, I'll call my family and explain to them why I didn't play, or tell 'em I only played 10, 15 minutes," Pepi said. "So I think [the situation] is definitely something that's helped me, but at the same time, it's been really frustrating at times."I'm not at that point where I've thought about a sit-down and thought about what's going to happen next. ... When that time comes, I'll make sure I'll make the right decision for myself."There is the hope of a payoff, however, and that comes when a player gains the faith of a manager. At PSV, that increased level of belief is trending in a positive direction in terms of minutes played. It is the fuel that in this moment is pushing Pepi forward."Once you have the opportunity to be able to get [a manager's] trust, and all of a sudden you think there's a difficult moment in the game where we need a goal or we need to defend, all of a sudden he makes a sub, and he's thinking about you," Pepi said. "And so, it's the best feeling to be able to just have your manager's trust and be able to prove to him that he can trust you and you can be the player that he can count on."That is the challenge facing Pepi in this window. There is a new manager to impress, but also an opportunity to further shed the super-sub label. ,A sus 21 años, Ricardo Pepi ha destacado como "suplente estrella" tanto en PSV Eindhoven como en la selección de EE.
