🚨📣 Vozinha mengenai apa yang dia ucapkan ke Messi seusai pertandingan:
"Aku menghampirinya, dan bahkan sebelum aku sempat bicara banyak, dia langsung memelukku dan berkata: 'Kerja bagus. Kau kiper yang sangat hebat. Rakyatmu pasti sangat bangga padamu.' Mendengar hal itu dari sosok seperti Leo sungguh sangat berarti bagiku."
"Aku berterima kasih dan menjawab: 'Terima kasih, Leo. Kau yang terbaik.' Lalu aku meminta baju pertandingannya, dia tersenyum dan berkata: 'Tentu saja. Akan kuberikan padamu di lorong ganti.' Momen seperti ini akan selalu aku ingat seumur hidup." ❤️🇨🇻🇦🇷
Sungguh keindahan sepak bola dan kerendahan hati dua sosok luar biasa! ✨🤝
NO FUERON DIRECTO A CELEBRAR.
Antes, Neymar y Matheus Cunha se acercaron a abrazar y consolar a los jugadores de Japón.
Ese gesto dice tanto como la victoria: respeto por el rival, por su esfuerzo y por todo el trabajo que hay detrás de una eliminación.
🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Japan crashing out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after their heartbreaking defeat to Brazil:
“Football can be very cruel. Today Japan leave the World Cup, but they leave with their heads held high. They pushed Brazil to the edge, made them suffer and forced one of the greatest football nations in history to fight until the very end. That’s something no one can take away from them.”
“I don’t want to hear anyone calling this a failure. Failure is not giving everything. These players gave everything. They ran, they fought, they believed and they represented their country with incredible pride. Sometimes football rewards you, sometimes it breaks your heart. Today it broke Japan’s heart.”
“I saw the tears after the final whistle, and those tears tell you everything. They cared. They believed they could make history, and for a long time they looked capable of doing exactly that. The result hurts, but the performance deserves respect from the entire football world.”
“If Japan continue producing players with this mentality, this won’t be the last time they surprise the biggest nations. They have shown courage, discipline and personality throughout this tournament. Today they lost the match, but they won the respect of millions of football fans around the world.”

🚨🗣️NEW: Zlatan Ibrahimović on FIFA’s new mouth-covering red card rule: as Almiron was given a red card for covering his mouth in the game between Paraguay and Turkey
“I have seen football at its highest level, the real football. Not this watered-down version they are serving us now. What happened with Almirón? A straight red card for covering his mouth? This is not football anymore. This is a circus run by bureaucrats in suits who have never felt the fire of the pitch.”
“Covering your mouth is now a red card? What is this, Big Brother on the field? FIFA wants to read lips, punish thoughts before they even become words. Next they will put muzzles on players like dogs. Players cannot even talk, cannot even breathe passion without some VAR robot or referee deciding your emotions are illegal. This is dystopian. Football is dying.”
“This rule was born because some players cry every week. One incident in the Champions League and suddenly the whole world must change. But elbow a man, break his leg, or spit — sometimes you get a yellow and a pat on the back. Two-tier football. Protect the protected, punish the rest. I have played in every league and I have seen it.”
On the softness of the modern game:
“Maradona would be sent off in the tunnel. Roy Keane? He would laugh at the referee and walk off with a smile while the stands burn. Pepe would have collected five reds before half-time. Today? Players are becoming actors, not warriors. They fall, they cry, they hide behind rules. Where is the masculinity? Where is the character? Football is not ballet. It is war. And they are turning it into a polite conversation with red cards as punctuation.”
“I, Zlatan, have scored goals that made stadiums shake and said things that made opponents tremble — without hiding. This generation is being raised soft. If you cannot handle words on the pitch, how will you handle life? FIFA is not protecting football. They are burying it. And one day, the real fans will rise and say: enough. Bring back the game.”
