🚨Kobbie Mainoo Opens Up on Michael Carrick's Advice Amid England Frustration.
🗣️"Michael Carrick called me recently, and his message was simple," Mainoo said. "He told me to stay patient and endure the disappointment. He said not to let anything affect my confidence because I know the player I am."
🗣️"He told me that regardless of the decisions Thomas Tuchel is making right now, I shouldn't stop believing in myself. He reminded me that football is full of difficult moments, and every player goes through periods where they have to fight for opportunities."
🗣️"Carrick said, 'Keep working hard every single day because your chance will come. When it does, make sure you're ready to prove everyone wrong. Don't waste your energy complaining—let your football do the talking.' Those words meant a lot to me."
🗣️"I'll keep training, improving, and waiting for my opportunity. When I get the chance to wear the England shirt again, I'll give everything and show exactly what I can bring to the team. That's the only response I can give."
🚨🗣️ Casemiro on Andrey Santos transfer to Manchester United
🗣️ “I’m made it happen. I called him and I told him I didn’t know why Ancelotti didn’t call him to the World Cup. I wanted him alongside me at the World Cup, but Ancelotti had other plans
Sir Jim Ratcliffe called me and told me they want to sign him from Chelsea. I immediately convinced Andrey, he didn’t want to leave London but I still convinced him. I think United will win a trophy next season. Andrey is world class in controlling the tempo of the game. I’m excited for him”. 👏
🚨🎙️ IKER CASILLAS ON JAPAN'S GOALKEEPER ZION SUZUKI:
🗣️“I've never been wrong about a goalkeeper.
I know talent when I see one.
And when I watch Zion Suzuki, I see a goalkeeper with everything needed to become one of the best in the world.”
“This is the only young goalkeeper I look at and think could one day be worthy of succeeding Thibaut Courtois at Real Madrid.
That's how highly I rate him.
He has the composure.
He has the courage.
And most importantly, he has the personality.”
“Japan lost today.
But I'm proud to say they found a gem.
Sometimes a defeat introduces a player to the world more than a victory ever could.
I think that's exactly what happened.”
“He's literally just 23...
(laughs)
Twenty-three!
When I was that age, I was still learning what it meant to be a top goalkeeper.
This boy is already playing with the maturity of someone who's been at the highest level for years.”
“What impressed me wasn't only the saves.
It was his decision-making.
His positioning.
His confidence under pressure.
Against one of the strongest attacks in international football, he never looked overwhelmed.
That's the sign of a special goalkeeper.”
“Goalkeepers are different.
You can teach technique.
You can improve distribution.
But you cannot teach personality.
Either you have it or you don't.
Zion Suzuki has it.
That's why I believe he's going far.”
“If he keeps working with the same humility and hunger, Europe will soon be talking about him as one of the elite.
And trust me...
This won't be the last time the football world hears the name Zion Suzuki.”
