John Terry believes he deserved to replace Maresca as interim manager:
🗣 "For me, it's I've never thought that I could be Chelsea manager, but when an opportunity comes up and the manager leaves the football club and Chelsea are looking for an interim manager.
There was no one in the building, the Academy building, or the first team building that was more qualified than me, in terms of their qualifications. More importantly, and above all of that, whether it was for one game or two games, there was no one more Chelsea than me."
تشافي هيرنانديز:
"أرسلت رسالة إلى ميسي بعد مباراة الجزائر وقلت له إنه نكتة، وأنني لا أستطيع إلا أن أضحك عندما أرى ما يفعله.
كان شيئًا مجنونًا، مجنونًا فعلًا. لكن هذا هو ليو، دائمًا يظهر في اللحظة المناسبة، بالنسبة لي هو بلا مثيل، بلا مثيل، يكاد يكون غير بشري.
أحب أن أقول إنه مايكل جوردان كرة القدم. في كرة القدم، لا يوجد من يمكن مقارنته به. لقد تفوّق على أساطير الماضي بسبب طول مسيرته؛ فقد كان الأفضل طوال آخر 20 عامًا.
وحتى الآن، بعد كل هذا الوقت، يخرج ويُظهر لنا ذلك من جديد، عقليته استثنائية. بالنسبة لي، هذا هو ما يميّزه عن غيره. لا يستطيع تحمّل الخسارة.
لديه المزاج المثالي لكرة القدم، والبنية المثالية أيضًا: جسده كأنه صُمم خصيصًا لهذه اللعبة.
انسَ الأهداف التي سجلها ضد الجزائر؛ انظر إلى أدائه الشامل، حالته البدنية، والدافع الهائل والطموح الذي يجلبه معه إلى الملعب. لديه عقلية بطل لن تتكرر."
I cannot believe Cape Verde actually convinced this guy to play for them via LinkedIn😭. Monster of a defender.
His mother is Irish, his father is from Cape Verde. He was born and raised in Ireland, and currently the captain of Shamrock Rovers.
He represented Ireland at youth level before switching to Cape Verde.
In 2018, Cape Verde were looking for professional footballers with Cape Verdian heritage and the coach came across Pico Lopes.
He messaged him on LinkedIn to play for them, Lopes was working part time as a Mortgage advisor in a bank then and still playing professional football.
He didn’t respond because the message was in Portuguese and he didn’t understand, he thought it was a spam.
A year later (2019), the coach messaged him again, this time he did it in English. Lopes agreed to play for Cape Verde and the rest is history.
A very good addition to the squad, a pure leader. Ladies and Gentlemen, Pico Lopes.
🚨 Enzo Fernández: Luis de la Fuente saying Spain has best midfield in the world by far? First of all, before I start, happy Father’s Day to everyone. And now, to answer your question, honestly, those are just opinions. I’m not going to get into any controversy or anything like that.
"Spain has one of the best midfields in the world because they have great players. But in the end, they’re just opinions. As for who’s better and who’s worse, I think that gets decided on the pitch."
🚨 Enzo Fernández on his letter to Messi in 2016: "What would I write to him now? I would write much more emotionally, because I believe I shared so many moments with him and learned so much by his side.
"He’s a great person and a great player who no longer needs any description. So today, I don’t think even enough books would be enough for me to write about everything I learned from him and all the moments we shared together.” 🐐
