🚨💣 Jamie Carragher blasts Real Madrid's "Barcelona obsession" after Bernardo Silva and Cucurella signings
🗣️: "At some point, people have to stop pretending this is a coincidence. Every time Barcelona identify a player, Real Madrid suddenly become interested too.
Barcelona wanted Bernardo Silva, and now Real Madrid have signed Bernardo Silva. Barcelona looked at Dumfries, and Madrid rushed to give a 30-year-old a long-term contract. Hansi Flick reportedly prefers Gvardiol, and suddenly Madrid are pushing for Gvardiol. Barcelona worked on Julian Alvarez, and Madrid responded with a ridiculous €150 million bid that they made sure the whole world knew about. Now Marc Cucurella has become another target the moment Barcelona showed interest.
This is not strategy; this is obsession.
The biggest clubs create their own path. They don't spend every summer looking over their shoulder to see what their rivals are doing. If your transfer policy is 'Whatever Barcelona want, we want too,' then maybe you don't have a real project at all.
I have seen rivalries all my life, but this goes beyond rivalry. It feels like some people in Madrid are more concerned about blocking Barcelona than building Real Madrid.
When a club starts defining itself through its rival, it has already forgotten what made it great in the first place."
@AstroAbhi_@ney2maa Was POTT in 2015….and Chile in the 2010s weren’t an easy team to beat..
Euro Champs Portugal also lost to Chile in Confederations Cup in 2017..
@RkFutbol ??
Türkiye was the team that was trying…Aussie was playing haramball and parking the bus..
Its unfortunate that they lost…Football isn’t fair at times..
@Fortune21Good@MessiLeoBrasil_ He didn’t quit
In order to quit, you need to miss games, which he didn’t
The reason why he stated that he doesn’t see himself playing for Argentina anymore is because Argentina fans didn’t want him…they were burning his dummy corpse in the streets of Buenos Aires..
@Fortune21Good@MessiLeoBrasil_ Quit on his National team?
So many tournaments he missed?
Messi was POTT in 2014 WC, something CR7 hasn’t accomplished either in WC or even Euros..
🎙️🇸🇪 Zlatan Ibrahimovic, na Fox Sports: "Messi chegou até a final da Copa do Mundo de 2014 e mesmo assim foi mais criticado do que Cristiano Ronaldo que foi eliminado na fase de grupos onde tinha Estados Unidos e Gana."
🚨 Miroslav Klose: "I expect my record to be broken in this tournament. And I expect Argentina and France to go far. That's perfectly fine, Messi is welcome to do it. I'm a huge Messi fan, always have been. Messi is a genius.
"And I also have a lot of respect for the Argentinian coach Scaloni. I played with him at Lazio, and he showed me around the city a bit back then. We're good friends" @SZ
