👀🚨Kylian Mbappe on ignoring the Paraguayan goal keeper after the Full time whistle:
🗣️ “After the full time whistle was blown, I saw the goal keeper coming towards me to shake, but ignored, it’s a mind game to irritate the opponents more, then he hit me with the ball next, but I couldn’t retaliate because I’m the one still in the competition and could be penalized for that.” Laughs
🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappe: “Sometimes I watch some clips of Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid before stepping into the pitch. Especially when it’s UCL nights, crazy right.” Laughs
🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimovic: “If only I could decide who wins the Ballon d’Or, I’d give it to Kylian Mbappé for his outspoken confidence and his belief that he’s the best.
🗣️ The media always tends to favour the humble ones and make them look more deserving, but confidence shouldn’t be a crime, especially when you have the ability to back it up.”
🚨🗣️ reporter: Harry Kane or Kylian Mbappe?
🗣️ Ousmane Dembele: “I know Kylian picked me over Benzema and Luka Modric as greatest ballon d’or winners, but Harry Kane obviously.” 👀
🎙️🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimovic responds to Kylian Mbappe saying he deserves to win the Ballon d’Or:
🗣️ “I think the media have finally found a way into his head, because Kylian didn’t use to talk much about himself before.”
🗣️ “Now he’s starting to remind me of a particular player who was once at the same club. We all know who I mean, so I won’t mention his name.” Smiles”
🗣️ “But Kylian is a very good player. For me, he deserves the recognition in the first place, even without winning trophies.”
🗣️ “What he has done individually and the level he has reached is already enough to put him in that conversation.”
🗣️ “Some of the statements he uses in interviews though, might turn some fans into haters. I’m not saying he is wrong, because he is one of the best players in the world after all.”
🗣️ “But football fans love a humble character. Sometimes they will vote for a player simply because they like his personality and the way he carries himself. “
🗣️ “That can influence people, even when they pretend it doesn’t.”
🗣️ “But that is not how Zlatan works. If you believe you are the best, say it. If you believe you deserve something, why should you hide it because other people might not like it?”
🗣️ “So if I were the one giving the Ballon d’Or, I would give it to Kylian Mbappé as well for his open confidence, his hard work and, most importantly, because he deserves it.”
🚨🗣️ Luis Enrique on Harry Kane being favourite to winning the Ballon d’or:
“Yes I rather see someone who scored a lot of goals and had one or two trophies to back it win the award than someone who contributed only goals with nothing to show for.”
🚨🎙️José Mourinho on Enzo Fernandez move to Manchester City:
🗣️ “There are certain players I cannot sign into my squad, and those kinds of players lack loyalty when their club needs them the most. For me, that is a big problem.
“I’d always want a player who, even if Real Madrid isn’t performing perfectly or I’m no longer at the club, still wants what’s best for the club.
“A player who says, ‘No, I stay. I fight. I give everything until we make this club better.’ That is the mentality I want.”
“I always look into a player’s mindset before bringing him in. You can have all the quality in the world, but if your first thought when things become difficult is to leave, then what are you really giving to the club?”
“If you’re not ready to be loyal, there’s no way you’ll play with real passion. And the players who play with passion, they always give you the best of themselves.”
“There will be ups and downs, there will be pressure, there will be criticism, that is football.”
“But when you truly love the club, you don’t disappear when the difficult moments arrive. You stay and fight.”
“That is where you see the difference between a player who simply plays for a club and a player who actually belongs to the club.”
“For me, passion comes from love, and love comes with loyalty. You cannot tell me you love a club when the first difficult moment comes and you are already looking for the exit. That is not the kind of player I want in my dressing room.”
🚨🎙️ Diego Forlan on Julian Alvarez refusal to train with Atletico Madrid:
🗣️ “Honestly I respect his opinion on not being interested to play for the club anymore, but there’s one thing he doesn’t know, he’s spoiling the reputation of the club and this isn’t what they bought him to do, but bad enough this might be the best highlight of his career at the club.” 🔴⚪️
🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović: “If Atletico Madrid wouldn’t sell Julián Álvarez to Barcelona where he wants, why doesn’t he just go back to his former club, Manchester City, for that fee and then move to Barcelona in the next transfer window for the same money?”
“Atlético gets their money, Barcelona gets their player, Julián gets where he wants to be and everyone is happy.”
“Maybe I’m making football too simple, but isn’t that a smart move?” Laughs 😂
🚨🗣️ Pep Guardiola: “It wasn’t up to a year after Julian left to Atletico Madrid he called me and wish he stayed longer to decide his future.”
🗣️ “All I wanted was a loan but it didn’t go through and since such a beautiful player wanted to have a good playing time, I had no option.” ⚪️🔴
🚨🗣️ Fermin Lopez speaks on his Celebration against Elche 5-0 Win:
“If what people think is I wanted to hit the Ronaldo Celebration then paused, then maybe that’s true — Laughs. I can’t deny he’s the owner of the celebration and when we watched him as kids we’ll always enjoy and try to recreate his celebration.”
🚨🗣️ Diego Simeone on Julian Alvarez: “He reminds me of a player like Antoine Griezmann, the similar actions he took that almost made him regret his career.”
🗣️ “I think what he needs is time to reconnect back into the club emotionally, right now we’re for a solution for Julian.”
🚨🗣️ Thibaut Courtois: “I’ve worked with Mourinho before, and he doesn’t see any player as untouchable in any position. Unlike the chaos of last season, he can replace anyone who thinks he’s bigger than his decisions. That’s how he manages, and I think that’s why they brought him.”
🗣️ “I took time to speak with my teammates about it, and I think a lot of them understand him now. He has his way of doing things, but when you respect his decisions and give everything on the pitch, you’ll become the best with him.”
🚨🗣️ Bernardo Silva: ���Manchester United called me long before Real Madrid contact, but every football player dream is to upgrade from his former team.”
