ISTANBUL HERO HANGS UP HIS BOOTS
James Carroll 10 November 2009
Istanbul hero Vladimir Smicer has retired from professional football at the age of 36 - and will now take up a post as Czech Republic manager.
The former Kop star has decided to hang up his boots after a spate of injury problems at Slavia Prague.
"I am not able to help Slavia on the field. I can no longer give it 100 percent," he said.
"My head and my heart want me to carry on but my body says no."
Smicer will now succeed Ivan Hasek as national coach in his homeland following their failure to qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
The winger made 184 appearances for the Reds during a six-year spell at Anfield between 1999-2005, scoring 19 goals.

An attacking midfielder, Smicer first shot to prominence in 1996, helping Slavia Prague reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and starring for the Czech Republic during their run to the final of Euro 96.
He moved on to French club RC Lens where he enjoyed more success - inspiring the club to a first ever French title in 1997-98.
Smicer arrived at Anfield in 1999 to join his close friend Patrik Berger on Merseyside.
The midfielder played an important role in the Reds' treble-winning triumph of 2001, operating on the flanks or behind the front two.
However, undoubtedly his high-point in a red jersey came in the Champions League final of 2005 in Istanbul - his final Liverpool appearance.

Coming on as a substitute for Harry Kewell against AC Milan, Smicer scored the Reds' second goal as Rafael Benitez's side dramatically came from 3-0 down to level the scoreline at 3-3 in six magnificent second-half minutes.
He also kept his nerve to net Liverpool's deciding penalty in the shoot-out before Jerzy Dudek's historic save from Andriy Shevchenko.
It was sweet reward for Smicer, who had returned to action in February 2005 having missed most of the 2004-05 season after a knee operation.
Having signed off from his Liverpool career in the best possible style, Vladi departed for Bordeaux as a Kop legend.
Се гледа муѓусебниот дуел..Ќе ви треба 3:0На Бенитез му беше даден рок од 3 утакмици.Лион,Бирмингем и Сити...Две заеба.Незнам што чекаат
Едно прашање...Во ЛШ се рачуна меѓусебниот дуел или сите вкупно.Зборот ми беше дали доколку го победиме Дебрецин да речеме 5:0 а овие ремизираат после ќе ни одговара било каква победа?
Во секој случај Лион нека ремизира или подобро нека победи а после мислам дека ќе гиниме на Енфилд.
Не ми се верува после се што се случи ма уште оптимизам во мене.Се надевам на подобри времиња.
Де некој нека ставе клип од пеналот што наводно го изглумил Нгог.Сите зборуваат занего а јас го немам видено

MEDIA WATCH
46% SAY BRING US DIARRA
Internet Report 11 November 2009
When asked if you would like Lassana Diarra at Liverpool 46% of the voters opted for yes.
The French international is rumoured to be unhappy at Real Madrid, despite being a regular for the Spanish side, and would like to return to the Premier League. This has seen further rumour that Rafa is planning to move for the midfielder when the transfer window opens.
This all sounds good, and Diarra has looked a very good footballer, but with Real most likely expecting around £20m for the Frenchman how exactly would we pay that for him?
Here is a roundup of how the poll, suggested by Chubby Alonso, went:
Would you like Lassana Diarra at Liverpool?
Yes. A proven talent in the England game 46%
Maybe. Depends on the price 36%
No. He can't settle anywhere 18%
