🚨Steven Gerrard on the Japanese players displaying Endo Wataro Jersey after a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands.
🗣️“I’m happy for what I saw today after the game, showing off Endo’s jersey at the end of the game was really something special and a tribute to the player wishing he was part of the squad to compete.
They wasn’t just celebrating a draw but an important player they wish to be part of the squad, Things like this are always emotional to experience and I will say that was the best thing that completed my day today.
Steven Gerrard on Japan players displaying Wataru Endō's jersey after the 2-2 draw against the Netherlands:
🗣️ “I have to say, what I saw after the final whistle was bigger than football. Watching those Japanese players hold up Endō's shirt wasn't about a result it was about respect, loyalty, and reminding the world that some teammates are present even when they can't be on the pitch.
People will remember the goals, the drama, and the late equalizer. But for me, that image of the squad standing together with Endō's jersey was the most powerful moment of the night.
Missing a World Cup through injury is one of the cruelest things that can happen to a player. You spend years dreaming about it, fighting for it, and then suddenly you're forced to watch from the sidelines.
What impressed me was how much it clearly meant to the squad. They weren't celebrating a draw. They were showing the world that one of their leaders is still part of their journey.
Moments like that can bring a team closer together. It creates a bond that goes beyond tactics, formations, or individual talent. It gives players something bigger than themselves to fight for.
And trust me, when a team starts playing for each other the way Japan are right now, they become dangerous. Very dangerous.
For me, that wasn't just a tribute. It was a message. Endō may not be on the pitch, but this Japan team is determined to carry him with them every step of the way.”
في عام 2021، كانت النتيجة 0-0، كلوب يستبدل ميلنر ليدفع باللاعب الشاب كورتيس جونز، ثم يشرح له الألماني سبب استبداله.
و أول شيء يفعله كورتيس هو مشاهدة صلاح ليصنع له هدفًا، وتلقائيًا ميلنر يهنئ كلوب.
لحظة رائعة.. 😂❤
🗣️ N’Golo Kante: "I went to Saudi Arabia because I promised my people that I would change their lives"
Today I earn millions in Saudi Arabia but I also enjoy football, but my best investment is to help my people where I was born, I promised them I would change their lives and I will.
This year I promised to build schools, hospitals, stadiums and a water reservoir for my people who are suffering too much.
My best investment of the million I earn in Saudi Arabia is for me people."
