A soli 30 anni si è spenta Valentina, figlia di Silvio Baldini affetta dalla nascita da una rara malattia. Nell’autobiografia del 2022 il tecnico scriveva così:
"Mia figlia Valentina è una bimba - perché per me rimarrà sempre la mia bambina - disabile. È una bambina di 4 anni nel corpo di una donna. Oggi vive la sua vita con serenità, non vuole lo specchio o il rossetto, non vuole essere vista come una bella ragazza, lei vive nel suo mondo con i suoi pensieri e i suoi svaghi. Vuole inseguire le formiche che camminano per terra oppure vuole i bicchierini degli yogurt e si diverte a tagliarli. Il suo mondo è legato a queste sue sensazioni che la fanno star bene".
"I medici ci hanno sempre detto che questa bimba non avrebbe avuto una vita lunga e per questo ha sempre dormito con me e mia moglie, perché il pensiero di alzarmi e trovarla morta mi angosciava. Tutt'oggi dormiamo sempre insieme, abbiamo un letto matrimoniale un po' più grande e dormiamo sempre noi tre. Quando la notte sogna ride continuamente e se non lo fa significa che sta male, che ha l'influenza o un altro tipo di problema; però quando sogna lei ride sempre, ride, ride, ride e la sua risata è veramente contagiosa. Quando ride, non lo fa come tutti noi, lo fa con la voce alta e quindi è una cosa strana perché ti chiedi se è sveglia, ma invece sta dormendo e continua a sognare...".
"Valentina mi ha fatto capire cosa significhi amare incondizionatamente e rimarrà sempre la mia bambina” ♥️
Crystal Palace I know you have the conference league final next week, but you have the chance to do something greater than winning any European football.
If the players can pull off at least a draw they’ll be immortalised and idolised by millions of football fans which is greater than any trophy.
Britain, 2025.
A 33-year-old woman goes out with friends in Brighton. Gets separated.
Can barely walk.
Three men approach her. Drag her behind a beach hut.
Two rape her. The third films it — laughing, spitting in her mouth.
Then they go home.
“Home” being a Home Office hotel.
Funded by you.
They had a BBQ that night.
All three are asylum seekers.
All three had already had their claims rejected.
One is a convicted murderer in Egypt.
The victim: “Every time I close my eyes, I see them laughing while they filmed me. They’ve ruined my life.”
Verdict: guilty.
They smiled as they were led away.
So ask yourself:
How many more women have to be raped before someone in power admits this isn’t a tragedy — it’s a policy?
• You played your final match at the age of 28 and had to quit football due to injury. By that time you already won 3 Ballon d'Ors. The world was at your feet, for which club would you have still liked to play?
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Van Basten: "None. I would have kept on playing at AC Milan and I would have ended my career at AC Milan, I wouldn't have left for any other club."
🚨 OFFICIAL: Roberto De Zerbi signs in as new Tottenham coach until June 2031.
“I am delighted to be joining this fantastic football club, which is one of the biggest and most prestigious in the world”.
“In all my discussions with the Club’s leadership, their ambition for the future has been clear – to build a team capable of reaching great achievements, and to do that playing a style of football that excites and inspires our supporters. I am here because I believe in that ambition and have signed a long-term contract to give everything to deliver it”.
“Our short-term priority is to climb the Premier League table, which will be the complete focus until the final whistle of the last game of the season. I’m looking forward to getting out on the training pitch and working with these players to achieve that”.
@SpursArmyTweets People continue to be dumb - Ange made a choice, and saw that with quality and injuries we simply could not win on both fronts, so he made a choice. Hence the poor league form. I’d trade 17th for a trophy any day of the week.
If you asked me to name ONE PERSON who I can safely guarantee will keep #thfc up…
Ange Postecoglou. 🇦🇺
Our league form under him was vile last season. BUT - he’ll galvanise this squad, he’ll motivate them. They’ll run through brick walls for him.
@ProTottenham Stupid shit, been nicknamed Spursy by others and when finally won something, be ungrateful to the manager who won it, no wonder karma hits us hard
