🚨 Carlo Ancelotti on why he did not celebrate wildly after Gabriel Martinelli’s late winner for Brazil against Japan:
🗣️ “People asked me why I didn’t celebrate, but football is also about respect. Yes, we were happy to win, but I looked across and saw a Japanese team that had given absolutely everything. They fought with incredible courage, and I know exactly how painful a defeat like that can be.”
“Of course I celebrated inside because my responsibility is to Brazil and qualifying was our objective. But I’ve been in football for many years, and I’ve experienced both victory and heartbreak. Sometimes the best way to respect your opponent is to remain humble in your biggest moments.”
“Japan made us suffer for ninety-five minutes. They deserved our respect, not exaggerated celebrations. Brazil are through, but we know we must improve. Tonight we celebrate the qualification, but tomorrow we go back to work because the World Cup only gets more difficult from here.”
Carlo Ancelotti is a legend

🇪🇨 A beautiful story has unfolded in Ecuador after their historic win at the World Cup against Germany...
A young food vendor Karina Alexandra Velásquez has gone viral back home in Cuenca after she promised that if Ecuador won, she would give away all her espumilla in her cart.
After the final whistle, she kept her word, handing out more than 100 portions of the sweet treat to celebrating fans.
What makes it even more special is that Karina studies Fashion Design, and every sale helps pay for her university materials and fabrics.
Even so, she gave away the fruits of her hard work for the love of her national team.
Fans are now searching for her cart in the city to support her and repay the joy she brought to the community. 🥹
Stories like this are what makes the World Cup so special. ❤️

🥹🇯🇵 ¡UFFFF… QUÉ POSTAL!
Tras la dolorosa eliminación de Japón en la Copa del Mundo, Hajime Moriyasu, con lágrimas en los ojos, se acercó a la afición que acompañó a la selección durante todo el torneo e hizo una última reverencia (ojigi), el tradicional gesto japonés para expresar respeto y agradecimiento.
No hay absolutamente nada que reclamarle a este equipo. Compitió hasta el último segundo, nunca dejó de creer y nos regaló algunos de los momentos más inolvidables de este Mundial.
El hombre de la libreta. El entrenador que hizo que muchos volviéramos a sentir que los Supercampeones podían existir.
Si algún día toca caer, que sea con la dignidad, la humildad y el orgullo con los que cayó Hajime Moriyasu.
🇯🇵 Arigatō, Sensei. Su legado ya es eterno.

🚨Joe Cole reacts to Enzo Maresca Apologising for his decision to leave Chelsea.
🗣️ Enzo Maresca is such a young talented coach he proved himself at Chelsea. I respect him alot but that decision to leave Chelsea in the middle of the season isn't acceptable.
He ruined our season and our club as well. The Likes of Enzo Maresca,Marc Cucurella,Malo Gusto and some other players at Chelsea hated the owners of the whole thing, because he's like a father to them. Some of them were playing with pale faces under Liam Rosenior
Today he's a new Manchester City coach and he's saying sorry he took that decision, he loves Chelsea,the fans and the owners.
That's a bloody lie,if he loves the club he could have stayed until the end of the season. It's a simple logic,he saw a better job opportunity and decided to leave.
John Terry responds to Enzo Maresca’s letter:
“I read every word of Enzo’s letter, and all I saw were excuses. You don’t walk away from Chelsea halfway through a season because Manchester City called. That’s not a ‘difficult decision’ that’s choosing your own career over the club that trusted you and picked you up from Championship.
You say Chelsea treated you well, yet you left the players, fans and staff to deal with the mess. That’s sneaky behaviour, and no apology changes that. If you can abandon Chelsea for Manchester City today, don’t be surprised if you abandon Manchester City for Real Madrid tomorrow. Loyalty isn’t something you write in a farewell letter it’s something you prove with your actions.”
🚨🎙️Granit Xhaka:
🗣️ “When I was at Arsenal F.C., we were always told to say ‘London is red.’ But deep down, I never believed it. How can a club without a European Cup call itself the pride of London? If any club in London has earned the right to talk, it’s Chelsea F.C..”
