Carlos Tevez: "One day, my eldest daughter asked me to buy her a car so she could drive herself and her little sister to school. I told her that if she wanted a car, she had to save money and buy it herself. She said, 'You're Carlos Tévez, how can you not buy your daughter a car?'
I said, 'I don't care if you have to work as a waitress at McDonald's; it's an experience you need to go through, just like I did.'
My first car? I got it at 21, but only because I earned it. Before that, I bought my dad a house. I worked hard for it. It's tough, but she has to learn."
Played with honor. Proud of the boys. Really proud. ❤️
We nearly did the impossible. Wasn’t meant to be but the lads gave it their all and that’s all we can ask for. 👏
Forza Juve, sempre 🤍🖤
‼️🎙️ | Fabio Capello: “What happened at San Siro struck me for two main reasons. The first: a player like Bastoni, who is of international caliber and a key figure in our national team, absolutely cannot — and especially must not — behave like that. It was something very unpleasant for everyone who loves football to see him deceive the referee with such an obvious dive, especially considering he was already booked and therefore risked getting a second yellow card.
The second: I know Chivu very well — he was one of my players at Roma — but his post-match comments deeply disappointed me. The Inter coach was not consistent with what he had said the day before, and in the end, he gave the impression of justifying what happened. However, more than his words, his actions speak louder. Chivu substituted Bastoni at halftime because he knew exactly that the player was at risk if he stayed on the pitch after that ugly act that led to Kalulu’s red card. I would have expected statements of a completely different tone, especially after a victory.”
🗣️ Giorgio Chiellini: “More than anything, we can't talk about football because, after what happened today, it's hard to talk about football, something unacceptable happened today.
It can't go on like this—it's not acceptable, this mistake is unacceptable in a match like this. It's not acceptable, this is not an adequate level for a match like this. This is the spectacle we're giving to the world.
We need to change, we need to change now, it happens too often in Italian football. At the end of the match, we didn't have the chance to talk to La Penna. It's been since the start of the year that we've all pointed out that there's not an adequate structure for the Serie A championship. There are continuous episodes week after week. We've tried to be proactive, we've all tried to do it and it can't go on like this.”

🗣️ Del Piero: “We consider Spalletti a tactical magician, capable of making teams play at exceptional levels. Even when I was playing, they used to tell me, 'Enjoy the victory. No, I don't enjoy it for even a moment. That's the mentality: l always look to improve."
🗣️ “Spalletti: “I thank you for the kind words said by someone like you. Alex was like those players l used to watch and admire. Thank you, truly.”

Shy kid in the corner was asked to pick a paper and if it was blank the class could go play, none knew every paper was blank, such a sweet way to make someone feel special
🗣️ Nani: "Cristiano defended me when we were 12 or 13 years old, during trials for Sporting, and I’ll never forget that."
"When I arrived at Manchester United, Cristiano was already there. And although adapting to a new country is hard, the language, the weather, the food, being without your family, he made the path much easier for me. He welcomed me like a brother. That first month, Anderson and I lived with him in his house. It wasn’t just practical help… it was like entering an elite academy. Everything was a competition: ping pong, swimming, who could stay underwater the longest at midnight. That was his life… always competing to get better.”
“Cristiano already knew me from when we were 12 or 13, during the Sporting trials. I didn’t make the team because the coach told me I was too small. Cristiano didn’t stay quiet. In the locker room he complained: ‘How is that possible? This kid is one of the best and doesn’t get in, but others who don’t deserve it do!’ From that moment I knew he was someone special, I’ll never forget it. We met again years later in the national team, and then at Manchester it felt like coming home. Thanks to him, that huge leap in my career didn’t crush me. He lifted me up."
