🚨🎙️| Andrey Santos on leaving Chelsea for Manchester United:
My time at Chelsea wasn't what I hoped it would be. I arrived with big ambitions, but sometimes football takes you down a different path.
When Manchester United spoke to me, the conversations were completely different. They didn't just talk about my potential; they talked about my role, my development and how they saw me fitting into the team.
Manchester United is the biggest club in the world. The history, the supporters and the expectations are enormous, but that's exactly why I wanted this challenge.
I've learned a lot from my difficult period at Chelsea, and I'm bringing those lessons with me. I arrive at United more mature, more determined and hungrier than ever to prove myself.

"I believe it's a clear penalty. Rodri jumps with his arm extended away from his body, and the ball clearly makes contact with his hand before changing direction. Under the current interpretation of the Laws of the Game, that's exactly the type of handball referees are expected to penalise.
Some people will argue that it was accidental, but intent is not the deciding factor here. The key questions are whether the arm made the body unnaturally bigger and whether the hand affected the path of the ball. In my opinion, the answer to both is yes.
If the same incident happened in the middle of the pitch, the referee would almost certainly award a free-kick for handball. The location of the incident inside the penalty area shouldn't change the application of the law
The replay shows the arm in an extended position and the ball's direction changes after the contact. That's sufficient evidence to overturn the original decision"

🚨🎙️ Achraf Hakimi reacts after Morocco’s 2-0 defeat to France and his battle with Kylian Mbappé 💔🇲🇦
“It’s a very difficult result for us to accept because we came into the match believing we could do something special"
On facing Mbappé…
🗣️ “Yes, it was strange because Kylian is one of my closest friends in football, but during the match there is no friendship. During the 90 minutes, he is just another opponent you have to stop.
I know his qualities, I know how dangerous he is, and even when he doesn’t score, he creates fear because he can change the rhythm of the game at any moment.”
On Mbappé after the match
🗣️ "After the final whistle, Kylian came to me and he spoke to me like a brother. He told me to keep my head up, that we should be proud of what we’ve done and that this team has a big future"
On Morocco’s tournament overall… 🇲🇦
🗣️ “We wanted more, we dreamed of more, but I’m proud of the fight, the personality and the heart this team showed in the tournament.
Tonight I am sad because we lost but this is not the end for Morocco, it’s only the beginning of something bigger.”
