I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
This is how we check World Cup fixtures when there was no access to internet, gone are those days at Ojota, like it’s was so interesting, they will sell to us then unfolded in other to make it easy to access, we will fold it and begin to write score after each match.
Childhood 🙌🏼
Throwback to when Ramires scored in 2011/12 UCL & FA Cup semi finals and he still went ahead to score this amazing opening goal vs Liverpool in the FA Cup final.
Literally one of those big game players at Chelsea who doesn’t get hyped enough.
In 2009/10, Chelsea lost to Aston Villa at Villa Park, took the return leg personal and had to reply back with a 7-1 win at Stamford Bridge with Lampard ending the game with 5G/A.
Chelsea players were literally scoring goals for fun under Ancelotti, man.
