:00:36. > :00:42.Hello everyone. It is me, Ben Shires and welcome to Match Of The Day
:00:43. > :00:48.Kickabout. I live and breathe football. So to be a host this is
:00:49. > :01:00.morning is an honour, thank you. Here is what is coming up, this
:01:01. > :01:06.morning is an honour, thank you. Arsenal fan is our guest. Jade Jones
:01:07. > :01:14.is on the programme. Those guy guys have the moves. Check out my clip of
:01:15. > :01:25.week. AC Milan striker decided not just to pass to himself, but to use
:01:26. > :01:31.the back heel for good measure! COMMENTATOR: He jumps for joy. The
:01:32. > :01:37.finish is absolutely brilliant. But to have the pace to come back to
:01:38. > :01:42.play once he had gone off the pitch and the clever little back heal.
:01:43. > :01:46.This week saw the start of the Champions League with mixed results
:01:47. > :01:52.for English teams. The only positive came for Liverpool in a thrilling
:01:53. > :01:57.match against the Bulgarians. A last minute penalty from Stephen Gerrard
:01:58. > :02:07.sealed the victory. The remaining games were all Germany versus
:02:08. > :02:21.England. It was the former City player, Jerome Boateng who scored
:02:22. > :02:27.it. Arsenal were beaten by Borusia Dortmund. There is a battle of the A
:02:28. > :02:35.teams at Villa Park and a battle of the S teams at the Liberty Stadium.
:02:36. > :02:39.Alan Pardew is feeling the pressure from the fans. Tomorrow, there are
:02:40. > :02:43.four fixtures and they have saved the best until last, Manchester City
:02:44. > :02:48.versus Chelsea and both will be looking to bounce back from their
:02:49. > :02:50.midweek disappointment. Right, it is time to meet today's guest. Here he
:02:51. > :03:10.S Tom from Wolf Blood. Welcome to is in action. The name is Tom.
:03:11. > :03:14.S Tom from Wolf Blood. Welcome to Match Of The Day Kickabout. How are
:03:15. > :03:18.you doing? I'm good, mate. How are you? I'm very well. I have got to
:03:19. > :03:22.ask you which football you? I'm very well. I have got to
:03:23. > :03:27.support? Arsenal, of course. And you are a London boy? Yes. It
:03:28. > :03:32.London team. It is within the vicinity? Yes. And you have been
:03:33. > :03:43.supporting them for a while. Who was the player that really inspired you
:03:44. > :03:48.as a youngster? I would say Henri. Let's talk about the signings
:03:49. > :03:53.Arsenal made this season. They have strengthened the squad and brought
:03:54. > :03:58.in Chambers and now Welbeck, but it has been a stuttering start. How do
:03:59. > :04:03.you see the season panning out? We need to find our feet. Welbeck was a
:04:04. > :04:07.good signing, but I feel like he needs to find his Arsenal kind of
:04:08. > :04:14.way of playing, do you know what I mean? I thought the same with
:04:15. > :04:16.Sanchez as well. Once we get used to playing with each other and stuff,
:04:17. > :04:24.the ball will start rolling. Absolutely. And Arsenal are famed
:04:25. > :04:27.for their injuries, of course. Ramsey, we have got such good
:04:28. > :04:38.players and it is a shame that we're not always fit. Arsenal did well?
:04:39. > :04:52.Yes. FA Cup winners last year? Yeah, exact exactly. A trophy is a trophy.
:04:53. > :04:57.Who do you support, Ben? Leeds United and we have done very well.
:04:58. > :05:01.On terms of Wolf Blood and everything, I believe that Bobby
:05:02. > :05:09.Lockwood is a Spurs fan? Yes, he is. He is a Spurs fan. As is Johnny too.
:05:10. > :05:18.Are you outnumbered? Yes. There is a few debates. There is a lot of
:05:19. > :05:25.arguments, not debates! Bobby roars sometimes. Thank you for coming to
:05:26. > :05:35.chat to us and you will be tackling our stat cave shortly. Do you feel
:05:36. > :05:40.good about that Yes. The F2 freestylers are going to teach you
:05:41. > :05:51.how to execute the perfect volley. I'm Billy. I'm Jeremy. And we are
:05:52. > :05:56.the F2. Over the course of this season, we're going to be teaching
:05:57. > :06:02.you, the skills, tips and techniques you need to be a top player. To kick
:06:03. > :06:08.us off this week, we will be showing you how to be a sharp shooter. There
:06:09. > :06:14.is a lot of different techniques that strikers use to score a goal,
:06:15. > :06:18.but we will be looking at the most technically difficult. The body.
:06:19. > :06:23.Master this and you will become a legend just like this guy.
:06:24. > :06:29.COMMENTATOR: Van Persie is closing in. Oh, he has got it. Van Persie.
:06:30. > :06:33.He thrashes it home! Let's break it down into three parts. Number one,
:06:34. > :06:36.in order to hit the perfect volley, you need to position your body
:06:37. > :06:40.correctly in anticipation of the ball coming to you. To do this, you
:06:41. > :06:44.need to open your body out. Number two, it is all about eye and foot
:06:45. > :06:48.co-ordination. Stay focussed on the ball so you can adapt to its flight
:06:49. > :06:52.flew the air. Number three, make sure you get a good connection with
:06:53. > :07:01.the ball. This is key to get power and direction to smash the ball past
:07:02. > :07:02.the goalkeeper just like this! And once you've mastered that, you can
:07:03. > :07:31.try some of these. Finish it! Finish it! Yes! It is all
:07:32. > :07:35.about the volley! Incredible. Those boys make it look so easy. What did
:07:36. > :07:35.you make of the volleys? It is amazing.
:07:36. > :07:37.boys make it look so easy. What did you make of the volleys? It is
:07:38. > :07:42.amazing. Do you think you can do anything like that? I think you and
:07:43. > :07:45.me should do it on the floor. This season on Match Of The Day Kickabout
:07:46. > :07:51.we want you to share your videos with us. It could be a perfect
:07:52. > :07:55.volley in your back garden, your favourite trick or a clip from a
:07:56. > :08:00.proper match. Get a parent or guardian to film your skills on
:08:01. > :08:06.their tablet and e-mail us: If we like it, we'll show it. It is
:08:07. > :08:14.as simple as that. You can keep up-to-date on the Kickabout website.
:08:15. > :08:17.Plus you can now also watch us on the CBBC iplayer so there is no
:08:18. > :08:19.excuse to miss a second. Are you prepared for the stat cave? Always.
:08:20. > :08:33.Let's do this! Welcome to our stat cave. I know it
:08:34. > :08:38.is spooky. There is an echo in the air, but you're probably used to
:08:39. > :08:44.that from your Wolf Blood time. It looks familiar. You're right at home
:08:45. > :08:47.then. I'm going to be asking you three footballing mind munchers, the
:08:48. > :08:51.answer is either higher or lower and all you have to do is get them
:08:52. > :08:57.correct. I think I can do this. Question one, at the end of the
:08:58. > :09:03.current series of Wolf Blood which is showing on B BBC, there CBBC
:09:04. > :09:09.there will have been 39 episodes. On the wall of the cave is the
:09:10. > :09:16.Tottenham goalkeeper, he is the oldest player in the Premier League.
:09:17. > :09:23.Is his age higher or lower than 39? Take in the wrinkles. What is he? He
:09:24. > :09:32.looks a bit like a dad. I would say he is lower. Lower than 39. I hope
:09:33. > :09:39.so for his sake. It is higher! Oh. He missed an open goal. He's 43.
:09:40. > :09:42.He's 43. Fair play to you. With a fresh face like that as well.
:09:43. > :09:49.Question two, you're playing for pride. Did you know that a wolf's
:09:50. > :09:55.sense of smell is 100 times greater than a human. I did know that. Well,
:09:56. > :10:02.here is a man who can sniff out a goal. He moved into third into the
:10:03. > :10:06.list of top scorers in the history of the Premier League, but is the
:10:07. > :10:14.number of goals he scored higher or lower than 100? I would say higher.
:10:15. > :10:18.You're right. It is 175 goals. Some pride restored there! Well done!
:10:19. > :10:21.Now, I would hope this would have been the hat-trick, but
:10:22. > :10:27.unfortunately it is for a brace this time. Your final question. Wolves
:10:28. > :10:34.are master predators and their howls can be heard for up to ten miles
:10:35. > :10:36.away. Barcelona and Argentina forward Lionel Messi and the
:10:37. > :10:44.question is whilst playing in the World Cup final this summer did
:10:45. > :10:50.Messi run higher or lower than ten miles? Oh, this is a chin stroker
:10:51. > :10:57.this one. I need to bend down to get on the same level. I would say
:10:58. > :11:08.higher. Oh, he's saying higher than ten miles. It was actually lower.
:11:09. > :11:13.6.5 miles. It was 10K. Well done. It was a valiant effort and good luck
:11:14. > :11:21.to Arsenal this season. I hope they do well. I think we need it.
:11:22. > :11:27.Right, seeing as we've discussed the Champions League and the
:11:28. > :11:31.Premiership, it is high time we moved on to the football that really
:11:32. > :11:34.matters. That's right, I'm talking about the Championship and the club
:11:35. > :11:38.I've supported since I was a youngster, Leeds United. To prove
:11:39. > :11:43.that, I've dug this out from the loft. It is a book of my drawings of
:11:44. > :11:49.my favourite Leeds players which I drew when I was your age and I sent
:11:50. > :11:52.them in to get signed. They wrote back to me and Michael Bridges and
:11:53. > :11:56.they wrote back and signed the drawings and you should be doing
:11:57. > :12:02.that too. Make sure that footballers are earnings their wages. The scat
:12:03. > :12:09.whites found themselves battling to return to the top division, but it
:12:10. > :12:13.wasn't that long ago they were Champions League finalists. We
:12:14. > :12:21.scored good goals along the way too. I've got my top five here and at
:12:22. > :12:28.number five, it was the Aussie powerhouse.
:12:29. > :12:37.COMMENTATOR: Oh, that's well done. It's a hat-trick. And it's 3-3.
:12:38. > :12:42.Perfectly choreographed. Here is Rod Wallis where he strips the Spurs
:12:43. > :12:56.team bare and scores a goal of the season!
:12:57. > :13:08.COMMENTATOR: Rob Wallis. Oh, that's perfection. Rodney Wallis. In at
:13:09. > :13:11.number three, it is the Australian. This game is against Sheffield
:13:12. > :13:18.Wednesday. Off the bar and look at that. Even he can't believe it. You
:13:19. > :13:27.see Des Walker coming up and I'm not sure he has seen a goal that good.
:13:28. > :13:32.see Des Walker coming up and I'm not Top two is the winner against
:13:33. > :13:37.Liverpool. He hits it so sweet. They need to change that crossbar. What a
:13:38. > :13:40.belter. Get in! And not content with that strike, he went and scored a
:13:41. > :13:46.better one to secure my number one spot.
:13:47. > :13:52.COMMENTATOR: Oh look spot.
:13:53. > :13:57.look at that! That's wonderful. Oh, that's twice the
:13:58. > :14:00.against Liverpool in my book. I couldn't agree more, Barry. I
:14:01. > :14:09.against Liverpool in my book. could not agree more. Next up, it is
:14:10. > :14:13.Sav's Big Mouth. Kevin Davies set the bar very high
:14:14. > :14:15.with six and this week's challenger is an Olympic Gold Medallist no
:14:16. > :15:06.less. Three is a respectable score, Jade.
:15:07. > :15:09.Good stuff. Right, I think, I've just about covered everything. I've
:15:10. > :15:13.learned how to volley. I've discovered that wolves can howl
:15:14. > :15:17.further than Lionel Messi runs in a match and most importantly, I've
:15:18. > :15:23.convinced all of you to ditch your club and start supporting, Leeds
:15:24. > :15:27.United. Right? No chance. Well, you can't win them all.
:15:28. > :15:34.And welcome to Sam Mark's Sport Showdown!
