⚠️🇲🇽 Javier Hernández on the difference between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo:

🗣️ “MESSI IS SUPERMAN AND CRISTIANO RONALDO IS BATMAN. Superman was born with powers, Batman wasn't. Batman had to build himself with discipline, courage, and bravery until he became extraordinary.

My mother-in-law asked me: Who's better, Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? And I replied: ‘What do you admire most?’

Messi is the representation of pure talent. Watching him play feels natural, as if the laws of physics don't apply to him. He makes the impossible look simple. Clubs build systems around him, and that makes sense because he's a talent that never existed in history. Messi represents the dream of being born with an extraordinary gift.

But Cristiano Ronaldo represents another story: the story of the one who built himself, who turned discipline into his greatest talent, who changed countries, leagues, languages, playing systems, and still remained elite. While Messi seems to improvise, Cristiano seems to have trained every move thousands of times. While one conveys calm, the other conveys hunger. While one lets the game come to him, the other goes out to conquer it from the first minute.

And that's why millions of us identify with Cristiano Ronaldo, because many of us weren't born being the best. We had to work twice as hard to achieve our dreams. Cristiano Ronaldo represents the one who swims against the current, the one who receives criticism, the one whose achievements are normalized and minimized, and yet keeps going.

And I think that's the real discussion: not who's better, but which story inspires you more. Both are admirable, and both inspire a lot: the one who was born with a gift or the one who proved that with discipline you can change your destiny.

Because in the end, we admire Messi for what he is, a being from another planet, but many admire Cristiano Ronaldo because he's a monster of willpower that forces us to look in the mirror and feel capable of breaking through.”

Julian Nagelsmann has been asked to step down as Germany's manager, according to Sky in Germany 🇩🇪

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

£100m in transfer fees. Upwards of £90m (£93.6m) in base salary of £300k per week across six years, not including any kind of bonuses. That is an eye watering, staggering amount of money to pay.

Wage structure matters. Massively overpaying Alexis Sanchez in 2018 meant when David de Gea needed his extension, Jorge Mendes used this figure to justify De Gea's salary which also became an issue for the club.

Take away Tottenham transfer fees for Mateus Fernandes & Sandro Tonali & just consider the salaries. If you pay Fernandes & Tonali the amounts they took to join Spurs, what happens in the dressing room?

How do Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo & Benjamin Sesko respond? Harry Maguire who just took a pay cut or Lisandro Martinez who needs a new contract soon? All that work to fix the wage bill & structure blown up.

The dressing room culture has just been fixed & they're still working to get other bloated salaries out. You can't just have all the mistakes of this past decade only to instantly start making them again now.
