👑🇪🇬 Three goals, one assist for Mo Salah against Galatasaray to lead Trabzonspor to an historical win.

Insane performance. 34 years old. ✨

In discussions with newly appointed head coach Andoni Iraola, a long-term vision was laid out to Florian Wirtz in which, as the years pass, Florian could gradually operate deeper and deeper on the pitch.

Iraola sees similarities to the development of Luka Modrić and Thiago Alcântara, who initially operated much closer to a traditional number ten before evolving into deeper midfielders capable of controlling games from the heart of the pitch.

Florian would not be hesitant about such an evolution, as he believes his press resistance, ability to initiate attacks through progressive passing and instinct for putting teammates into advantageous positions could become even more influential from deeper areas.

Interestingly, those closest to Florian, including his father and agent Hans-Joachim Wirtz, also believe that moving deeper could gradually remove him from the public pressure of constantly being measured through goals and assists, numbers that have never truly defined his game to begin with.

@Rivo__09 @underIineoasl lobos being wolves in spanish makes this one of the better bot comments ever

I hate when I ask someone, who claims they love football, their favourite player and they say Messi Ronaldo or even like Neymar. Like yea sure whatever but those answers don’t tell me anything about your character. Give me a little David Villa or Falcao or something

@lv7405 @LFCLaurie 2 in 5 vs rodri's 1 in 3 after kdb (ongoing), with a messi-led team against a rebuilding real. and the spain stuff does prove that busquets is a crucial piece that makes the team click; rodri is the team. his ball retention and game control puts you at least 60% of the way to a W

[propi @firmino0oo]

@lv7405 @LFCLaurie and perhaps the biggest testament to rodri's importance is the 2021 ucl final when guardiola shockingly benched him; the lack of control and retention then cost them the game. and in 22/23 as the undisputed best player on the team the whole season he won them the final

[propi @firmino0oo]

@lv7405 @LFCLaurie kdb is also a completely different player than rodri whereas busi and xavi/iniesta playstyles intersect much more. importantly rodri helped kdb get maximized; his best season was immediately when rodri arrived, his two other best (21-23) were with peak rodri

[propi @firmino0oo]

@lv7405 @LFCLaurie man city's weakening directly coincides with rodri's injury. the season they finished third, rodri played a mere 80 minutes (kdb 1.2k which isn't a lot but obviously way more). last season, where they were noticeably a bit better, rodri already played 1.5k (still less than half)

[propi @firmino0oo]

@lv7405 @LFCLaurie exactly that, busquets had xavi and iniesta next to him who we all know were better. rodri won everything as the undisputed best and most important player of his teams; both in spain campaigns and specifically treble city.

🎙️ Davor Šuker on Thomas Tuchel's comments about the World Cup third-place match:

"Let me say this. I think the rich don't want to play when they lose. Don't underestimate this match because it can be very important.

After 1998 and our third-place match against the Netherlands, I can still speak about that bronze medal with pride today. Some people have so many trophies and so much money that this game means nothing to them.

I tell them to be quiet, respect all 211 football nations and understand that the world doesn't belong only to them. It also belongs to the smaller nations and to everyone who loves football." [@tancredipalmeri]

🚨⚠️📢 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: UEFA distances itself from FIFA.

Italy, Germany, Portugal, Norway, and Ireland say Euro 2028 will prioritize transparency and the true spirit of football.

They are reportedly unhappy with Gianni Infantino’s political ties to Donald Trump, perceived favoritism toward certain teams at the World Cup, the treatment of Iran’s team during the tournament, and the controversies surrounding FIFA and the AFA.

They are also considering backing a candidate to challenge Gianni Infantino for the FIFA presidency amid growing criticism of FIFA.

@FPLCroatian @davidfootballx daj neko objasnjenje barem. po meni covjek nije napravio nista tako jako krivo, euro 24 bio los zbog nezgodne smjene generacije, 26 sasvim solidno, malo mlaki u grupi al portugal super odigrali. uz neke promjene poput postenog trenera za prekide i rast mlade ekipe bit cemo mi top

[propi @firmino0oo]

@subic_mladen @mladbozic na ovom svjetskom bili sasvim solidni. portugal je nadigrao, u grupi bili malo mlaki, uz par promjena npr posteni trener za prekide i rast mladog dijela ekipe bit cemo super. nije mi jasno koji su to tako veliki kontinuirani problemi koje godinama ne rjesava

[propi @firmino0oo]

@subic_mladen @mladbozic euro 24 bio los, al kad se uzme u obzir jako nezgodna smjena generacije gdje ti je trecina igraca prestaro trecina premlado a ovi u primeu su losi, ne mozes puno niti se jedan los turnir treba previse zamjeriti. u kvalifikacijama svaki put (osim upravo tog eura) prvi

[propi @firmino0oo]

@mladbozic ponajprije po tome sto se svaki najbitniji clan zlatne generacije upravo pod bilicem na reprezentativnoj sceni razvio i postao sjajan. covjek objektivno ozivio repku cega su igraci svjesni, nije bio savrsen ali igrao dobar nogomet i ekipi drag, drugi kandidati nemaju takav dokaz

[propi @firmino0oo]

@davidfootballx my ideal variant is dalic staying for euro 28 to provide a bit more guidance to the younger gen who will then be entering their primes, rather than giving this crucial point into the hands of someone unproven (like olic or a foreigner). after that terzic

[propi @firmino0oo]

@davidfootballx fair, but international footy is not about who is the best tactician but the best leader. a foreign coach can never be as good a leader (especially for croatia).also if you are going for a high-tier coach, conte with a measly 1 cup win despite the teams he managed is a bad shout
