All you fake Liverpool fans who are on my timeline right now celebrating Salah’s greatness like you didn’t abuse and mock him all of last season, stay on that side!
Mo Salah is just two goals away from becoming Egypt's outright all-time top scorer 🇪🇬⬆️
The man in his sights, Hossam Hassan, is his international manager!
Ronaldo a good case of how quickly people will do revisionism on someone, Messi fans gonna act like they weren’t shitting themselves when he winning 3 CLs in a row rubs me the wrong way
Michael Olise on his style of play:
"I'd say it comes from street football. We'd play outside with my brother, kicking the ball against the wall, doing 1v1's, all that. I'd say it comes from there, yes. It's a different kind of football, but it's definitely a way to learn. Football, in those conditions, is just freedom. It wasn't learning in the strict sense either. I simply enjoyed playing football. I loved it, plain and simple. Well, I think everyone loves it when they're young."
• Are you nostalgic for those years?
Olise: "Yes, a little bit. When you're young, you play football. You have fun, you don't think about anything. So yes, of course, a bit. You play at all hours of the day. It's great."
• Did you enjoy the freedom that was offered to you back then?
Olise: "Yes. But I also learned a lot in the prestigious academies I played at, particularly at Chelsea and Manchester City."
• But today, that freedom is somewhat overshadowed by tactics. Do you need freedom on the pitch to express yourself?
Olise: "Yes, to some extent. It also depends on certain things, like how well the game is managed, for example. I think football is also about control. I mean, every coach has their own philosophy. Then you try to impose your style on the game, so that everything flows smoothly. When you play in a structure where you know where you're going, it makes my job a little easier too."

My neighbour, who’s a lifelong Man United fan, told me he woke up devastated this morning after seeing what he called the “naive” way Man United are treating Ronaldo.
He said he can’t believe they’re slandering Ronaldo for Bruno Fernandes, a player who led them to two European final defeats, a player whose biggest trophies with the club are the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, and a player who nearly led them into a relegation battle.
He said he can’t believe that a club which once dominated English football and won countless titles now celebrates an assist record held by what he considers the worst captain in United’s history as if it were a trophy.
I consoled him and told him that if the mentality of the fanbase changes, the glory days will return ❤️
