The grass freshly cut. Net stretched. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
Pitch lines repainted. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
The ball, freshly pumped up, like me. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
It is the new season of the Premier League, folks. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Bring it on. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
Good | 0:00:50 | 0:00:50 | |
Good morning. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
What a feast of sport we have on the table. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
The Olympics are in full swing and the new Premier League | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
season has arrived. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
So where better for Kickabout to start than here? | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
The Olympic Stadium of 2012, newly transformed into the home | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
of West Ham United. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
Here is what is coming up on today's show. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:11 | |
We will be giving you an exclusive sneak peek around this stadium | 0:01:11 | 0:01:17 | |
and reliving some of those golden moments from London 2012. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
It will be two gold medals for Great Britain. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Beautiful. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
John Farnworth heads to newly-promoted Middlesbrough | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
to share his skills with the stars of the future. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
And of course, we look ahead at all the action and round up | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
who has bought who for how much in this year's transfer market. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Just four years ago, this place was absolutely rocking | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
as it witnessed some unforgettable moments of sporting glory. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
And this track is where it all went down. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:48 | |
Mo Farah is going to make it two gold medals | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
for Great Britain. Beautiful. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Usain Bolt is pulling away, he is going to win the gold. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
A champion becomes a legend. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
It is not Bolt, Mo and Jess that the crowd will be cheering, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:12 | |
but Payet, Carroll and Lanzini. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Yes, after a hundred years at Upton Park, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
the Hammers have a new home. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
They have to wait eight days until they can play their first | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Premier League game here, but this grass has already seen | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
a fair bit of entertainment. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
NK Domazale were swept away 3-0 to ensure their progress | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
in the Premier Europa League with Cheikhou Kouyate scoring | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
the first ever goal in the stadium. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
But mighty Juventus proved too much, winning here 3-2 last Sunday. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Some pre-season highs and lows for the Hammers but pre-season | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
doesn't just mean the odd game. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
There are foreign tours, tonnes of trading and some | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
eye-watering kit launches. Take a look at this. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
This summer, Premier League clubs have been jetsetting all over | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
the world in preparation for the new season. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
The team that travelled the furthest was Spurs who flew a whopping | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
21,178 miles in total. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
Harry Kane and co not only had a gruelling 22-hour flight | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
to Melbourne and back to contend with, but their travels also took | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
them to Norway via London and while they were back home | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
in England, they got a rather unusual visit from one | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
of the most famous American footballers on the planet. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Check this out. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
And it wasn't just Spurs who tested their skills | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
with different sports. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
Tottenham's east London rivals West Ham swapped football | 0:03:33 | 0:03:41 | |
for basketball as colleagues took on the famous NBA | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
half court challenge. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
Meanwhile, Chelsea, and their new boss Antonio Conte | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
travelled around 12,000 miles in total, taking them to Austria | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
and America, where they played tough games against Real | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
Madrid and Liverpool. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
The Reds topped off their very own US tour with a game at Wembley | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
against Spanish giants Barcelona, who they beat 4-0. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:05 | |
The Catalans may have temporarily lost their ticker tacker tekkers, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
ingrained in them by former manager Pep Guardiola, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
but the Spaniard now in charge of Man City is making | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
new friends in Manchester ahead of his first season in England. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Hello. Hello. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
How are you? Good. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Give me a hug. Give me a hug. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
The most famous fan. Sit down. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
Take a seat. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Is it really you? | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
Yes. I am. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
Is it really you? I am! | 0:04:31 | 0:04:37 | |
Who do you think it is? A lookalike? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Pep Guardiola. Yes! | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
And lastly, it is that time of year when you see your favourite stars | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
run out in their teams' brand-new kits of the season ahead. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
But could the new Norwich City third strip top the lot? | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
I will let you guys decide on that one. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
All that was going on in the footballing world, | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
spare a thought for the team that had to transform this amazing | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
from an Olympic venue to a footballing one. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
I've got some super fans with me to help reach show me around. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:09 | |
Hi, I'm Matthew. Hi, I'm Tom. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
We are massive West Ham fans and this is our new stadium. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
Boys, nice to meet you, I'm Tyler. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
Right, you are my super fans and will be showing me | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
around the stadium today, right? | 0:05:24 | 0:05:29 | |
Well, look at this, it is the home dressing room, | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
shall we go and check it out? Let's go. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
So here, boys we are in the home dressing room. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:44 | |
How does it feel to be here? Amazing. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:51 | |
Who is your favourite player? Antonio. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:56 | |
Payet. He works magic. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
He is a little bit of a magician. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
Any new signings this year? | 0:06:00 | 0:06:01 | |
We have a couple. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
Our main one is Andre Ayew. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
20 million. From Swansea. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
Hopefully he lives up to his expectations. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
What do we have here then? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:17 | |
It looks like we have a hot tub and cold tub. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
OK, a bit of luxury for the players, they should be playing football, not | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
sitting in hot tubs. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:24 | |
This is amazing, we're outside Bilic's office. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Shall we go and have a look inside? Yes. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:35 | |
So, this is where the big boss sit, what do we think of him at West Ham? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
He is great. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
We got our highest points total last year and we came seventh and we got | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
European football. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
Considering we got relegated a couple of seasons | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
ago, it is not bad. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
It is promising. He is doing things. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
Do you think you will appreciate you sitting in his chair? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
Do you like the big boss? A bit power happy? | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
As we walk out of the tunnel, to just stand here and take | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
in that amazing feeling... | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
So we here at such an incredible view but the seats are | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
quite personal to you? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
They are ours. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:31 | |
How does it feel to be looking at the pitch from this view? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
It feels quite amazing because from the old stadium, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:41 | |
we were on that side of the stadium and we were facing right down | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
and we were so close to the pitch. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
Now, because we are so far away, we can see the whole pitch. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
As well as this shiny new stadium, West Ham have also added some shiny | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
new players to their collection. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
Among them is Ghana striker Andre Ayew. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:59 | |
As the boys said, signed from Swansea City for ?20 million. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
This is just a small drop in the transfer madness | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
so let's have a look at some of the other done deals. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
Finally, Paul Pogba is a United player again, | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
for a whopping ?89 million. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
Across Manchester, City have signed England defender | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
John Stones for 47.5 million. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
It makes everybody else's transfer spend seem quite small. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
Behind the gossip and large sums of money, have you ever actually | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
wondered what it is like to sign for a massive club? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
This is what happened when Umtiti was unveiled at Barcelona recently. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:09:36 | 0:09:37 | |
Well, a boy can dream, can't he? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
I may not be West Ham's new signing and I may not be able to do as many | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
keep-me-ups to impress the fans but I do know a man who can. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
The Premier League is back and so is John Farnworth. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
When clubs get promoted to the Premier League, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
they worry about one thing more than anything else - scoring goals. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
So I have come to the north-east of England to meet the massive | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Middlesbrough fans and I'm going to teach them | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
and you all about the art of finishing. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Let's go. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
Are we ready to go? All: Yeah! | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
Three, two, one... Let's go. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
To become the perfect finisher, there are three main steps. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
Number one, find space, you are always going | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
to have a defender with you so you have | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
got to lose him. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
He has got me! He has got me! | 0:10:40 | 0:10:48 | |
HE LAUGHS Oh, man, got me with a double! | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
Step two - pick your spot and keep your calm. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
The best players in the world, they know where to put the football. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
Before you hit it, think about which corner | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
you want to go into. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:20 | |
Step three - hit it clean and hit the target. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:42 | |
When I mean hit it clean, it through the middle | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
of the ball and of course, we are never going to score | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
if we don't hit the target. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Imagine you are in Wembley and that is your moment, | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
you have got all the time in the world, no one | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
is on you and it is your chance to shine. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:06 | |
Whoa! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
To become the ultimate finisher, you have to have persistence | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
and you need to keep your head up. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
Even the best strikers in the world miss but what sets them apart | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
is that they keep their head up and they practice every single day. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
If you put all that together, you make life a lot more difficult | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
for goalkeepers like these guys. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
Good luck to Boro as they welcome Stoke to the Riverside today. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
If you have been to a soccer school this summer or you have been | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
in the back garden perfecting your football skills, | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
why not get someone to film you in action and uploaded | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
to the Kickabout website just like this lot did? | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
Amazing skills, please keep those clips coming in. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:10 | |
Singer Imani released her debut single Don't Need No Money just | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
a few weeks ago and let me tell you, you would be changing your tune | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
if you were going to buy these players. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
My name is Imani and this is my dream five-a-side team. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
In goal, I pick Manuel Neuer. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
He plays for Bayern Munich and he is the best goalie | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
in the whole world. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
In defence, I pick Laurent Koscielny. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
He plays for France and Arsenal and I pick him because he smashed | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
the Euros this year. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:45 | |
Koscielny's front challenge, needed to be. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
In midfield, I pick myself because I could showcase | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
my attacking skills. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
I would also pick Gareth Bale who plays for Wales and Real Madrid | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
and I pick him because he will score us a lot of goals. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
And there is the man with a plan! | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
Upfront, I pick Messi, he plays for Barcelona and he scored | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
over 50 goals last year. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:03 | |
Messi takes it again and he dances away and he scores! | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
Lionel Messi! | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
Thanks, Imani. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
As last season was so unpredictable, we thought it would be fun to ask | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
some of the Kickabout family their predictions and then | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
at the end of the season, we can laugh at how wrong we were. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
Thanks Tyler, well my predictions for this Premier League | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
season are champions, I've got to say Chelsea. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:29 | |
I think the Hammers are going to do well this year but I do think | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
the team that will win the Premier League | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
are Manchester United. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
I also think Middlesbrough could be really exciting. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
The three teams to get relegated, I think are going to be West Brom... | 0:14:38 | 0:14:46 | |
I've got to say Hull City are the prime ones... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
Hull... | 0:14:48 | 0:14:48 | |
Burnley, bit of an unknown quantity... | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
And Burnley. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
I'm going to stick my neck out and say Watford... | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
And the top scorer... I think will be... | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
I've got a feeling... | 0:14:57 | 0:14:58 | |
I'm going to go for the tried and tested Harry Kane. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Ibrahimovic. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Whether our predictions are spot on or laughably off target, | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
there is only one thing I can say for certain. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
It will be a brilliant ride and I can't wait | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
for you to come with us. See you. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 |
