🇨🇮❤️🩹 Yan Diomandé shared a deeply moving tribute to his younger sister Roxane, who passed away at just 15 years old. ⤵️
The Ivorian international looks back on his childhood in Abidjan, when he played wearing a fake Manchester United shirt on which he had written “Ronaldo 7” in black marker.
"Do you remember when someone bought me that fake United shirt and I wrote ‘Ronaldo 7’ on the back with a black marker? Do you remember when we used to sit together and dream about living in France?
That we would go shopping and have our own apartment, that I would become a rich footballer with cars and a big house, and that you would never have to worry about anything.
You were the one who always believed I would be the next Cristiano, when everyone else laughed.
I had trials at Bournemouth, Chelsea, Rangers, Olympiacos, Crystal Palace…
Even MLS reserve teams didn’t want me. I didn’t even know why. My visa expired. My dream was over. They sent me back to Africa, and we cried together.
You were the only one who never stopped believing. A few weeks later, I signed for Leganés, and we cried different tears.
Today, I feel nothing. It’s as if I’m no longer even human. Since you died, I’m just empty.
I broke down, and they didn’t even try to soften the blow. No emotions. Just: ‘Your sister is gone.’ Someone put something in her drink at a party, and she never woke up. She was gone. You were 15 years old. Fifteen years old.
Tomorrow, we leave for the World Cup. For real. Your brother is going to play for Ivory Coast, like Drogba, like Yaya, like Gervinho.
Every time I score a goal, I’ll make sure everyone knows your name. I will fulfill what you predicted, I swear it. I will prove that you were right, or I will die trying."
Every year, more than one lakh children die due to diarrhoea, in India. ORS(WHO RECOMMENDED FORMULA) is a life saver. It's very disheartening and angering to see
1. @fssaiindia giving permission to eRZL (looking exactly same as the high sugar ORSL), inspite of the harm caused to children for 2 decades, and inspite of us literally begging to not do it.
2. @Kenvue, your Indian subsidiary seems to be the most unethical company here. It doesn't seem to care for the lives of our Indian children! eRZL is being handed as ORS now. It's a shame!
3. The president of @iapindia, I hv literally begged u to ask Kenvue to rebrand in such a way that the new branding doesn't resemble the erstwhile high sugar ORSL, and instead you release a position paper influenced by Kenvue! The children of India vs Kenvue, and u chose Kenvue.
Dear citizens of India, history is repeating! I hv taken up this issue legally, but that's going to take years, as u all know.
It's time that u stand up for the children of India once again, and ensure history doesn't repeat!
@MoHFW_INDIA pls ensure only CDSCO approved drugs(ORS) are available in the pharmacies and not FSSAI approved beverages! This seems to be the only way to protect the children of this country.

💰 Brighton have just delivered a masterclass in negotiation with Jan Paul van Hecke.
https://t.co/DDcVM7UdH4
▪️ Player wanted to leave
▪️ Rejected three contract offers
▪️ Had just one year left on his deal
Yet Brighton still managed to:
✅ Secure a fee of almost £55m
✅ Include a 20% sell-on clause
✅ Control the terms of the deal from start to finish
A player heading towards free agency has become the club’s 5th most expensive sale ever.
Another case study in smart football business from Tony Bloom and Brighton. 🧠🔵⚪️

Government of West Bengal is exploring the procurement of lightweight, modern tramcars from overseas—reportedly drawing inspiration from contemporary Australian systems—to revive Kolkata's historic tram network. Authorities also plan route viability studies and are considering restoring corridors such as Esplanade–Kidderpore.
Founded in 1873 and electrified in 1902, Kolkata operates Asia's oldest tram network and India's only surviving tram system. Once spanning dozens of routes, services are now limited to just two corridors. The proposed modernization aims to combine heritage preservation with zero-emission urban mobility, potentially transforming trams from a tourism symbol into a functional component of Kolkata's public transport network once again.

"I'm just happy to being considered as one of the best in football history, I'm just grateful to be considered among many great players..."
