“My brother gave me his kidney after it took us 9 months to find a donor. The doctor told me it wasn’t a match and my body wasn’t accepting it. The doctor tried again, but it wasn’t responding. My brother still has to live with only one kidney.”😭💔

🚨 Anthony Gordon on the difference between playing football in England and Spain:

"We don't have that strength to control games like the Spanish do, it's not in us. I'm not sure it's something that can be taught."

"Now that I play in Spain, I can speak with an educated view, the way they keep the ball is different, much different than I have ever experienced playing in this country."

"I'm not sure we can ever get that, but we can definitely get better or maybe go the other way and play to our strengths which is to play physical, direct football and counter-attack. There's no perfect way to win a football match."

"We can't keep looking at other countries and trying to be like them. We are not them, we are English. We have our strengths which they do not have. So maybe we start playing to what we are good at."

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Andy Robertson opens up deeply about the passing of Diogo Jota:

"I still feel REALLY sorry for the guys we signed in the summer of 2025. Because these guys entered a football club that was broken, they entered a squad that didn't care about football anymore."

"Because we just lost one of our best mates."

"We thought to ourselves: 'What's the point? There is no point anymore. Look at what Diogo Jota's family is going through, look at his little kids. And he was our MATE, he was EVERYTHING to us."

"I was still with him a week before he died. Seeing him the happiest he has EVER BEEN [his wedding], and a week later seeing his family being torn apart."

At no point did he say that either of them deserved a red card. You’ve managed to post exactly what he said, except, coincidentally, for that one part.

He literally says: “I think the Cuti incident is a little more difficult because I don’t know whether he could have pulled his foot away or not. And perhaps the one involving Kang-in, which I honestly don’t think he did intentionally, maybe that one could have been a red card.”

A bit weird to be misleading your followers!

Let me tell you guys a very interesting story. You know when I say something is interesting, you have to believe me🍿

Lee Kang-in was scouted at the age of 10 in Korea, and invited for trials in Valencia which he aced.

According to FIFA rules, a 10 year old boy cannot be transferred to Europe from another continent. That’s why you see players like Estevao, they have to be 18 before they move. Anything less than 18 years old, you’re a minor.

However, there’s an exception to this rule. If your parents will relocate with you, but they must not relocate BECAUSE OF YOU. That is, they will not relocate for footballing reasons.

Once your parents relocate with you to that country for non-footballing reasons, then the club can sign you.

Brethren, most footballers you see that have succeeded, there’s a parent that has made crazy sacrifices for them. Even in the UK, from the age of 5, parents are taking their kids to training everyday, traveling with them for trials even if they fail most of them, taking them to school equally, and still having to work to pay bills. Parents are everything.

Guess what happened with Kang-in Lee?

His father relocated to Valencia way before he was going to join the Valencia academy. His father opened a taekwondo studio in Valencia and started training people how to fight taekwondo. The man couldn’t even speak Spanish, but learned.

That was a source of income, so his father’s relocation was treated as “relocation for non-footballing reasons”, which will qualify 10 year old Kang-in Lee to be signed by Valencia from abroad.

His mother also resigned from her job as an Hospital Administrator in Korea, to join her husband in running the Taekwondo studio in Valencia, Spain. It doesn’t stop there, his two sisters also relocated. The whole family relocated for the dream of a 10-year old who they weren’t sure was going to make it.

The talent was there, but he had to make it. He MUST make it. The whole family left their lives to focus on his, no chance of not making it😅

For people wondering, this was how the underage rule didn’t affect 10 year old Kang-in Lee.

Hope you enjoyed this little story. Was it interesting like I promised?
