🚨 Wayne Rooney asked what made him special:
🗣️ Rooney: “Special? Mate, I had no flair. No stepovers, no tricks. You watched Ronaldo or Ronaldinho for that. I was just a street footballer. Pass, shoot, run, tackle. The basics. I just tried to do the basics better than everyone else.”
🗣️ Gary: “Wayne, you scored an overhead kick against City.”
🗣️ Rooney: “Nani crossed it. I was trying to score. How I got up there, I don’t know. That’s instinct. You do the basics every day for long enough, sometimes they don’t look basic anymore.”
🚨🗣 - Burna Boy on supporting Man Utd:
"To be fair, that's a family thing. I had no choice... I didn't get to pick.
"You have to be United or you find another family." 😅 [@Toluwase_x]
Hii nairobi sasa kuna rende ingine inaitwa the nairobi flying monkeys. This is a battalion of people in Nairobi who exist in this city dangerously. They play hide and seek with poverty everyday. Mtu hajaandikwa kazi,hawezi point aseme pale ndio nafanya kazi,but still they manage to pay rent,and some have even gone to the extent of buying cars. Hawa wanaishi kwa neema ya bwana,and they know it. Wanaendanga kusota kadeal kanatokea,wanarudi steady. They have done this for years. Na hawananga ata savings
Hawa ndio ile kitabu ya mathayo sita inaongelea,kuna mahali mungu anaambia watu yake, Look at the birds,they do not reap or store in barns,yet they do not sleep hungry. Is it not because they trust in me? These guys are very strong mentally. Wanajiaminia namna atari sana. Mtu anajua vizuri hajui kwenye atatoa rent end month,na saa hiyo tuko date 27,na hashtuki. Ako tu. Weh! Apana chesa na hii flying monkeys bwana
🚨 Pelé on the biggest regret of his football career:
🗣️ Pelé: “People often ask me if I have any regrets in football. I was fortunate to achieve almost everything a player could dream of. I spent the majority of my career at Santos, where I built my legacy, and later finished my playing days with the New York Cosmos. Those two clubs gave me unforgettable memories and changed my life forever.”
“But if there’s one thing that still crosses my mind from time to time, it’s never playing for Manchester United. That opportunity was real, and it’s one of the biggest ‘what ifs’ of my career.”
“Back then, Sir Matt Busby admired my football and there were conversations about bringing me to Old Trafford. Manchester United weren’t just another club—they were already becoming the biggest institution in English football, with incredible history, passionate supporters, and a global reputation that every player knew about.”
“The negotiations never reached the point where a transfer became possible because Santos believed my place was in Brazil. At that time, the Brazilian government even declared me a national treasure, making any move abroad incredibly difficult.”
“I respected that decision because Santos meant everything to me, but I would be lying if I said I never imagined what it would have been like to wear the red shirt at Old Trafford. Every great player dreams of performing on the biggest stages, and Manchester United was certainly one of them.”
“When I watched the atmosphere at Old Trafford and saw the legends who represented that club over the years, I always wondered how my career might have looked if I had been part of that story. It’s not something that keeps me awake at night, but it’s probably the biggest football regret I have.”
