🚨🔥ROY KEANE TEARS INTO BRAZIL: “THIS IS NOT THE STANDARD OF A FIVE-TIME WORLD CHAMPION!”
“Honestly, this is embarrassing. One of the most disappointing Brazilian national teams I have watched in a long time.
Brazil used to strike fear into opponents before a ball was even kicked. The yellow shirt meant something. It represented pride, passion, responsibility and an incredible footballing history.
Now? Where is the personality? Where is the leadership? Where is the hunger?
I'm watching a group of players who seem far too comfortable representing one of the biggest footballing nations in history. There is no urgency, no authority, no real sense of responsibility. Too many passengers, too many excuses and nowhere near enough accountability.
And let's talk about the captain's armband. You're representing Brazil, a five-time World Cup winner, and wearing one of the most prestigious armbands in international football. That responsibility should demand something extraordinary from you.
You cannot simply wear that shirt, walk onto the pitch and expect the history of Brazilian football to do the work for you. You have to earn it every single time.
And Carlo Ancelotti? This is where I have serious questions.
We're talking about a manager with Champions League titles, experience at the highest level and a reputation for managing elite footballers. He didn't come to Brazil to collect a salary, enjoy the sunshine and admire the talent in training.
He came to restore standards.
But where is the authority? Where is the identity? Where is the ruthless decision-making? If players are underperforming, drop them. If certain individuals think their reputation guarantees them a place in the starting XI, make an example of them.
You cannot manage Brazil like a collection of superstars who are doing the manager a favour by turning up.
Ancelotti has managed some of the biggest personalities in world football. Surely he knows that reputation means absolutely nothing when the performances are not there.
Brazil doesn't need another collection of famous names. It needs a team. It needs leaders. It needs players who understand that representing the Seleção is a privilege, not a personal branding exercise.
And let's be honest, the days when opponents feared Brazil seem a long way away. Other national teams look more organised, more aggressive and far more committed to their identity.
For a country that has produced Pelé, Ronaldo Nazário, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and so many footballing icons, this decline in standards is difficult to watch.
You can lose football matches. That happens. But you cannot keep losing your identity, your intensity and your pride without serious questions being asked.
Ancelotti has a massive job on his hands. And if he cannot get these players to understand the responsibility of that shirt, then even his reputation won't save him.

🚨𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Pochettino demands Ronaldo loan and Greenwood return
Mauricio Pochettino has told the Manchester United board he wants Cristiano Ronaldo back on a loan deal from Al Nassr in January for the rest of the season. The manager believes the veteran striker can still provide the goals and experience the attack is missing.
His top priority, however, is a change in personnel: Pochettino wants Amad Diallo moved out and Mason Greenwood brought back into the squad. He sees Greenwood as a better fit alongside a potential Ronaldo return.
Bruno Fernandes is strongly against the idea of signing Ronaldo. The captain has made it clear he fears the move would unsettle the dressing room and limit chances for younger players.
Some of you don't know how some of these market women run their business. Buy a bucket of onions and you will notice that they have placed a rag at the bottom of the bucket. They purposely dent olonka and measure garri and rice, thinking you have the right amount. They play smart
