🚨 Marcelo on the hatred towards Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ “Many of those who hate him only hate him because of what he has done to them and their clubs in the past. If I had played against him, I would probably hate him too!”
I know this might sound harsh, but that was genuinely one of the biggest managerial disasterclasses I've ever seen.
This man called up 4 wingers and 3 strikers, only to bench all of them and start the opening World Cup game with a 5-3-2 that he hadn't used even once during the friendlies. He benched all of his forwards and lined up with 5 defenders and 5 midfielders against Sweden.
It gets worse. He played a defensive full-back who is basically a hybrid CB profile like Kounde for example and he played him as a wing-back, used our backup left-back, who arguably didn't even deserve a call-up, as a left centre-back, and after going 2-0 down by halftime, he didn't make a single substitution until the 72nd minute.
And when the changes finally came, they somehow made even less sense.
He brought on a central midfielder to play wing-back, and a left winger to play on the right, and then took off both of his defensive midfielders for an attacking midfielder and a striker. We literally finished the game with a double pivot made up of two number 10s.
I'm serious when I say this is the kind of squad management you wouldn't even see in FIFA Career Mode.
We've faced teams like England, Belgium, France, and Spain at World Cups before. We've always been underdogs. Yet somehow, our biggest defeat in World Cup history came against Sweden.
That alone should tell you everything you need to know about how badly this game was handled.
I know most of you probably don't care about Tunisia's tactical disasters, but I just needed to get this off my chest.
Les larmes de joie D’UN GRAND CHAMPION, D’UNE LÉGENDE qui n’a plus rien à prouver à personne.
Mais à 41 ans, IL A ENCORE FAIM. ENCORE LA PASSION. ENCORE SOIF DE BUTS ET DE TROPHÉES. 🥹
Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹 est LE FOOTBALL 🐐
🚨🚨 Toni Kroos 🇩🇪 LOUE L’ATTITUDE DE DEMBÉLÉ 🇫🇷 avec des mots très forts 👇 :
« Ce qu’a fait Dembélé 🇫🇷, CE N’EST PAS CE QUE 90% DES JOUEURS QUI SE PRENNENT POUR DES STARS feraient.
Eux, ils commencent à faire des gestes désagréables sur le terrain, puis s’assoient sur le banc en râlant ! (…)
Luis Enrique 🇪🇸 a remplacé Ousmane Dembélé 🇫🇷, son meilleur joueur, à la 65e minute d’une demi-finale de la Ligue des champions, et PERSONNE n’a protesté !! 🤯👏
Cela montre le RESPECT que les joueurs ont envers l’entraîneur.
Il quitte le terrain, serre la main de son coach, et s’assoit sur le banc en encourageant ses coéquipiers.
Il y a certains CONTRE-EXEMPLES à cela.
Vous regardez Dembélé, et comment il crie à ses coéquipiers de continuer à se battre, depuis le banc. »

t’es ballon d’or t’enchainais les buts en ldc, ton coach te demande de jouer plus bas et traquer un milieu et toi t’acceptes sans sourciller
la mentalité de cette équipe c’est trop beau
