🚨🗣️ BREAKING: Jamie Carragher on Liverpool’s Transfer Plan: “Liverpool... have almost been like Real Madrid in the last two summers. They just go and buy the best player on the market for the most money. Barcola, Wirtz, Isak, all £100m players. And that gets everybody really excited. But Liverpool have always been about the team. Under Jürgen Klopp, we bought players who maybe weren’t superstars, but there was a plan. There was an idea about how it was all going to work together. There was a togetherness. Real Madrid always make it work, but Liverpool aren’t Real Madrid. We’ve gone down this road of buying star players, and I sit there scratching my head thinking, ‘How is this all going to work as a team?’ Liverpool won the league just over a year ago and we’ve spent an awful lot of money since then. Yet I don’t think Liverpool supporters really believe the new manager has the tools to win the league this season. That’s what doesn’t feel right to me. I don’t mind spending money. I want #LFC to get the best players possible. But I want to feel like there’s a plan.”show more

Most of us knew that this would be a... holdover year as Luka Doncic, LeBron, and Austin Reaves don’t fit. The role players are also not good. However, the disappointing part is that the team was at least fun to watch through the first 15 games. Now it’s just hard to watch.show more

Now I’m fit, scoring goals and enjoying my football again.” “The connection with Wirtz, Gakpo, Muñoz, Barcola and Rio is exciting. The quality around me makes everything easier, and we’re still learning each other’s game.” “Iraola has given us freedom, intensity and confidence. I’m enjoying playing under him...

🚨Cristiano Ronaldo on one of his favourite memories at... Real Madrid. 🎙️ Reporter: “Cristiano, when you look back at your time at Real Madrid, is there one moment that stands out above the rest?” 🗣️ Cristiano Ronaldo: “Honestly, every moment I spent at Real Madrid was special. Winning trophies, scoring goals and making history with the club are memories I’ll always cherish. It’s difficult to choose just one because every season gave me something unforgettable. “But one memory that always makes me smile wasn’t from a match—it was from a training session. Marcelo walked over to me and jokingly said a fly had flown into his eye and that he was tearing up. I laughed, called him over and gave him a hug. “As soon as Marcelo walked away, Luka Modrić came over and said, ‘I want a hug too.’ I hugged him, then Keylor Navas came over asking for one as well. We were all laughing by then, and a few seconds later Casemiro joined in and wanted his hug too. It became one of those moments where everyone was just enjoying each other’s company. “When people talk about my time at Real Madrid, they usually remember the goals, the Champions League nights and the trophies. I remember those too, but I also remember moments like that. Those friendships, those laughs in training and sharing the dressing room with players who became legends of the game. “My journey at Real Madrid wouldn’t have been the same without teammates like Marcelo, Modrić, Casemiro and Keylor Navas. They helped make those years some of the happiest and most successful of my career.”show more

As a fan, I acknowledge that he made mistakes... today and wasn’t in his best form. He even admitted that himself in an interview. And I am sure he’s far more aware of what went wrong than any of us watching from the outside. So to everyone losing it and acting like your precious players are incapable of making mistakes, please freaking stop. It’s actually becoming pathetic. Let these players learn. They always can make a comeback.show more

🚨RCB players always misses the cut under this management... - Ashwin🤯 Ravichandran Ashwin said :🗣️ "Indian squad against Afghanistan is a strong one but RCB players missed out once again. We are used to seeing this happen a lot nowdays. RCB players always misses the cut under this management. I seriously don't know the exact reason actually. Rajat Patidar won them back to back trophies, and he was brutal with his six hitting abilities. Krunal Pandya was the most effective all rounder this season while Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been doing a fantastic job for them. It's quite shocking to see them not getting a single opportunity. What is wrong with these selections? They all deserve a go at some point".show more

The confusion about whether former Eagles OC, Kevin Patullo,... was fired or not isn't that confusing. They never used the word fired. In short, they care about him, value what he has done for the organization, and are allowing him to weigh his options and decide if he wants to come back in a different role. Philadelphia, & their entire front office, are a class org. They value people, respect them, and treat them right. They also know what he has meant to their 2 Super Bowls runs, despite not working out at OC. The players who praised him all season and after the wild-card loss do so with sincerity. It is not lip service or professionalism. They genuinely respect him. Almost every player was asked about him after their loss, nobody wavered in their praise for him. Nick has explained what they are doing, and the players have expressed their role in the season's struggles. Below is from right after the game.show more

Unai Emery’s training intro Some forwards were sent to... work with the goalkeepers on position-specific actions for the session, another sign of where the elite game is heading, with more specialist coaching built into team training. Also interesting was the reintroduction of Johan Manzambi, used as a “Joker” throughout the session to reduce physical contact while still exposing him to game realistic decisions and movements. On the comeback from injury, and now close to a return, looks like Villa will get to see their record signing in the near future.show more
