After 18 NBA seasons, Russell Westbrook has retired. A legendary career: NBA’s top 75, 2017 league MVP, nine-time All-Star, nine-time All-NBA, USA Olympic Gold Medalist and the all-time record for triple-doubles.
Florian Wirtz:
“I definitely learned a lot. I just learned how Premier League football is played and I think I am more ready for my second season because I know how it is now. I am really excited for my next season.
“I’ve played one year now in England and I’ve said often enough that it’s a different style of football than in Germany. You just get used to the games and your opponents. I just know how it is now, so I’m happy to have my next season.
“[It is a] difficult question [to assess my first season] but, of course, there were some games when I wasn’t happy with myself, but also a lot of games when I felt good on the pitch. Last season was difficult for the whole club but, hopefully, we have the right energy and mentality this season, so every player can shine more.”

[🟢] Confirmed: Liverpool’s owner Fenway Sports Group is advancing in talks to sell about one third of the club to a consortium, including the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
The syndicate is led by Amit Bhatia and also includes Eduardo Saverin, one of the co-founders of Facebook, and has been in discussions with FSG for about three months.
“Talks are ongoing,” said one source, “but it is looking positive.”

💣🧨 Sky News has learnt that Fenway Sports Group is preparing to make an announcement about a transaction as soon as this week.
The syndicate is led by Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal and until recently a shareholder in Championship club Queens Park Rangers.
If completed, the deal would install a trio of the world's wealthiest individuals as co-owners of the Reds, one of the most successful teams in the history of English football.
