This brother called Pacho has ended the season with zero yellow cards in the league and champions league, it’s unbelievable.
He made his professional debut barely 7 years ago, but he plays like a veteran of the game. So composed at only age 24😭
You don’t have to spend billions to sign quality players, he cost PSG €40m, but Brainthwaite and the likes are valued at £80m. Sporting directors and scouts should do some work and stop being lazy, there are players out there waiting to be seen.
You see that club in Ecuador called Independiente del Valle, they produce solid players. From Caicedo to Hincapie, to Pacho, I’m sure scouts specifically go there to sign players.
These are the kind of leagues Tony Bloom and his Jamestown Analytics focus on.
Funny part is that there’s a story where Pacho didn’t want to go to Independiente, he had turned down a team before them because he’s a mummy’s boy, he said he can’t do without his mum😅. Independiente had to present a plan that could accommodate his family before he moved there.
This guy was scouted by Belgian club Royal Antwerp, and later to Frankfurt. Do you know the common thing amongst both clubs, he spent just one full season at both clubs before PSG, such smaller clubs can’t keep stars for long.
Bro has two champions league at 24, zero hype but he’s up there with the best. I can’t wait to see him for Ecuador at the World Cup. He’s a monster, a clean monster, not a typical South American defender😅
Ladies and Gentlemen, Willian Pacho.
Subbed off Dembélé right before the 90th minute.
Subbed Kvaratskhelia.
Subbed Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz too, despite them being among the main penalty takers.
And did you see a single negative reaction from any of them? No complaints, no ego, no frustration. Just trust in the manager and commitment to the team.
That is exactly what Luis Enrique has built at PSG - a real team before individuals. A dressing room fully connected to the manager and the system ���
Back-to-back Champions Leagues don’t happen by luck. Massive respect to Enrique and PSG, fully deserved. There’s genuinely a lot for every club in Europe to admire from this project. 👏🏆
People criticise Man City because they don’t have as much fans as Man United and the likes, but one thing they know how to do is honor people.
Yesterday, after the game at Etihad, they awarded Bernardo and John Stones a lifetime ticket to Man City games, amongst many other things.
On the red side of Manchester, Paul Scholes was complaining recently on a podcast that he was struggling to get a match ticket for a Man United game, this is a player who won dozens of titles at the club.
In this clip, they also honor a player who won the FA Cup for them 50 years ago.
Run it down to Kompany, to Fernandinho, to the new generation, Man City as a club know how to honor people. Give them that.
In fact, they missed honoring Ederson and Gundogan, guess what, they brought them back to the club yesterday, and the event today.
Their fans also feel closer to the club and players than many bigger clubs. This event was £12 and sold out. Look at the organisation.
I know you're wondering why Fiorentina terminated Tariq Lamptey's contract, just read this and you'll understand
Lamptey was a Chelsea academy product who announced himself to the world with an unreal debut against Arsenal in 2019. At 18, people genuinely thought he was the next big thing.
Brighton paid Chelsea for him a month later. He had good spells there but kept getting hit by injuries that were completely out of his control — the kind that just happen to footballers at the worst times.
Last summer, Fiorentina paid €6 million and handed him a long-term contract. New league, fresh chapter, real chance to rebuild.
It never got started.
He came off the bench vs Napoli — 4 minutes. Then started vs Como — ruptured his ACL after 21 minutes and was stretchered off.
25 total minutes across TWO appearances. He didn't play another single minute for the rest of the season.
Fiorentina were reportedly paying him €44,000 a week with no return date in sight. That's over €1M in wages for a player who through absolutely no fault of his own, couldn't stay fit.
So they pulled the plug.
25 years old. €6M wasted. A career that deserved so much more.
Do you think any club will take a chance on Lamptey this summer?
If you enjoyed this breakdown, repost so others can understand the full picture
This car is used and selling for 400m.
A new cybertuck cost about $90k.
With import and all, this car shouldn't be up N150m.
That's all you need to know about X car dealers.
Awon ole.
Gift Orban: "The Premier League is my ultimate dream. Man United, Liverpool or Man City…”. 🔴🇳🇬
“I don’t really like Arsenal that much – it’s like they don’t want to win titles”.
“I want to go somewhere where they win titles”, Gift Orban told @hlnsport via @Sport_Witness.
🚨Sadio Mane OFFICIAL Statement:
What happened has gone too far. This is not the football we fight for, not the Africa we believe in.
There is too much corruption in our game, and it’s killing the passion of millions of fans across the continent. Players give everything on the pitch, but decisions off it are deciding matches and trophies.
I’m deeply disappointed not just for Senegal, but for African football as a whole. We deserve better. The fans deserve fairness, transparency, and respect.
