🚨🇦🇷 Diego Maradona talking about Messi's robbery of the Golden Ball in World Cup 2014:
"I'd give the sky to Leo, but when it's not fair and the MARKETEERS want to make him win something he DIDN'T WIN, that's NOT FAIR. James Rodríguez was the best' 🤝🇨🇴
It's the same story everytime! 🤥
🚨🎙️Toni Kroos on Bruno Fernandes:
"This match just showed that Bruno Fernandes has always been a problem for Portugal.
His stupid decision to stop playing good football as a midfielder whenever Ronaldo is on the pitch has cost Portugal a lot.
In today's game you could clearly see Bruno playing passes into the final third and even providing two assists but whenever Ronaldo was on the pitch, some how the passes are played to the Goal keeper (Laughs).
At some point, you have to ask yourself why."
🇨🇱🗣️ Arturo Vidal speaks passionately about Cristiano Ronaldo's recent situation:
"Honestly, the situation surrounding Cristiano is shameful.
For a player of Cristiano's calibre, whom I consider among the top four players in history (regardless of his exact ranking: first, second, or third), to be excluded from the national team in that manner seems very bad; it's truly a regrettable situation.
Especially considering that he spoke in an interview about what was happening and the available options, and then the coach came out and made his statement; I think that puts Cristiano in a very bad position.
Cristiano deserves care and protection. He's the player who gave everything to Portugal and elevated the national team to its rightful place among the world's best.
A player of his stature shouldn't leave the national team in that manner.
And yes, Cristiano has every right to do as he pleases, given his achievements for football and the Portuguese national team, which have taken them to new heights.
However, there are coaches—coaches who simply don't respect certain things."
@Cristiano Cristiano I respect you immensely, but do not take Manchester City out of the headlines with this. We know that even if everybody hates City now, there’s no one everyone hates more than you.
Now today, Sunday of course the big bad(more brash and stupid) #CraigBurley is on talking about “if this turns out to be true”, mind you they have officially been found guilty on 114/115 charges. So now, nobody on the @ESPNFC panel thinks that this is an important story.
On Friday, #AleMoreno was saying that we can’t take this out on the players and #StevieNichol took him on saying that he definitely can link the players into this. Then on Saturday Moreno seem to have aligned himself to Stevie’s view. @ESPNFC#ManchesterCity
Wait, have you guys seen @ESPNFC panel trying to find how to talk about the Man City fraud issue? Over the last 3 days they have flip flopped and splice and diced and blamed everyone except City, it is head spinning. These people are so disgraceful. Wow #espnfc
Manchester City’s reiteration of their “confidence and intent in proving the club’s innocence” given their “comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence” is incredibly at odds with their own behaviour and the intensity in which they blocked the Premier League’s process of investigation at every step since December 2018.
The scale of their obstructing was revealed in a July 2021 British court judgment. City simply refused to supply information and documents requested by the league, which then issued a disciplinary complaint in August 2019. The club challenged the disciplinary process and the commission that was set up.
The league proposed an ad hoc procedure of appointing a new commission, but City objected to that too. The PL were forced to bring legal arbitration against the club, to be decided by a tribunal of three senior lawyers.
City countered the PL had no power to do that, and challenged the impartiality of the tribunal. That was rejected and the club were again ordered to submit all the documentation and info.
City then appealed to the high court to strike the tribunal down. In March 2021, a judge ruled against the club and that her findings should be published.
City unsuccessfully fought against it being made public knowledge; the judgement published in July illustrated just how hard and long they resisted providing information.
With all that confidence, intent and irrefutable evidence, why the YEARS of non-cooperation and active, intensive blocking?
