🚨🎙️| Thomas Tuchel on Reece James performance:
“I have no doubt about Reece James. I see people on social media comparing him to other right-backs and it makes me laugh.”
“I coached him, I won the Champions League with him, and I know the level he can reach. At his best, there is no right-back in world football I would choose ahead of Reece James.”
@WritesMajumder@NoodleHairCR7 Point of correction they were playing the keep up in a friendly match
If you say last wc tournament that means Nigeria qualified for the World Cup 🤭
While some fans were left disappointed watching their teams fall short in the studio, Chelsea fans were witnessing their team compete on the biggest nights in football
🚨Cristiano Ronaldo on Portugal’s 2022 World Cup defeat to Morocco and its impact on this year’s World Cup dream:
🗣️ “The defeat against Morocco is something I will never forget.
It was one of the most painful moments of my career because we believed we had a real opportunity to achieve something special.
When the final whistle went, it felt like a dream had been taken away from us.
Not because Morocco didn’t deserve it they were fantastic but because we knew how close we were.
For a long time, I thought about that game.
The mistakes, the missed chances, the emotions after the match.
As a footballer, those moments stay with you forever.
But sometimes your biggest disappointments become your biggest motivation.
That defeat taught us that talent alone is not enough.
At a World Cup, every second matters.
Every decision matters.
Every opportunity matters.
Since that day, I have carried that feeling with me.
Not as a burden, but as motivation.
This team is more experienced now.
We understand what it takes to compete at the highest level.
We know how difficult it is to reach the final stages of a World Cup.
For me personally, the dream has never changed.
Representing Portugal is the greatest honour of my career.
And winning the World Cup for my country remains the biggest dream I have in football.
People talk about age, records and achievements.
But when I wear the Portugal shirt, none of that matters.
The dream is still the same.
The hunger is still the same.
What happened in 2022 only made that dream stronger.
We respect every opponent, but we believe in ourselves.
And this time, we want to write a different ending.”
