J’ai volontairement embrouillé ma copine pour qu’elle m’envoie dormir sur le canapé ce soir.

Marcelo Bielsa refused to do any acting during the official World Cup photoshoot.
The Uruguayan 🇺🇾 coach has repeatedly denounced the tournament in the United States, criticizing its commercial and political excesses.
🚨📲 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Maria Guardiola (Pep’s daughter) shares the following message on Instagram:
“Football is a game that is played with the brain. You must be in the right place, at the right moment. Neither too early, nor too late.”
— Johan Cruyff
“If we lose, we will still be the best team in the world. But if we win, we will be eternal.”
— Pep Guardiola
When Zidane and Roberto Carlos talked about the 1998 World Cup final.
🇧🇷 Roberto Carlos: "That day you scored two headers, right?"
🇫🇷 Zidane: "Yes, 2"
🗣 Journalist: "How many headers did you score in your career?"
🇫🇷 Zidane: "Only 2😂"
PABLO AIMAR: "There’s no greater frustration than hearing someone say, 'There are no creative players.' Especially after repeating 800 mechanical drills, all the same. Where the hell is creativity supposed to come from if everything becomes an automatic loop?... If we tell a 15-year-old kid who wants to try a dribble not to do it because he lost the ball two or three times, what do we expect to happen?... At that age, he’s going to lose it twenty times, and that’s OK! Because it’s in those twenty falls where courage is born, where the vision sharpens, and that spark ignites—something that can’t be replicated."
🗣️Benzema : "Any body that criticizes Messi doesn't know anything about Football"
🗣️ Benzema:
“The one with the Most Trophies in football history is the Greatest of All Time.”
🗣️Benzema: We no longer bother to look at what a guy does on the pitch, just who has scored and the next day, we consider him the best. It's happened to me. I don't play a good game, I score and they see me as the best. I don't really like this type of football.
Lionel Scaloni: "There’s this idea people have that ‘football has changed and street football doesn’t exist anymore.’ Pablo Aimar and I talk about this a lot. We need to focus much more on who teaches kids and how they teach them.
"The coach, in this case, should be like the street football environment. If I’m constantly telling a kid, ‘Pass the ball!’ or ‘Two touches!’ I’m taking away their creativity, the best thing they have.
"Before, in Argentina, the players who stood out the most were the playmakers. Now, if you beat two players, people shout, ‘Pass it!’ But why pass it? I’ve just beaten two players, I can score, why would I give it to a teammate next to me? Let him score. If he has to beat four players, let him do it. That’s the kind of player who makes the difference.
"Argentine football comes from a culture of cleverness, beating players, nutmegs, quick one-twos. If we start controlling kids like they’re playing with a joystick, it’s a mistake.”
Leo Messi: "I’m not really into texting, not with my friends, my mom, or my family. I’m bad at keeping in touch through messages. When I see people in person, it feels like no time has passed.
"It’s not that I don’t care. Of course I care about my parents. I just find texting tiring: replying, waiting for a reply, then answering again. I don’t enjoy that.
"That’s why I sometimes step away from messages. Honestly, texting can annoy me at times.” @NicolasOcchiato
