🚨🎙️ Rio Ferdinand on Enzo Maresca leaving Chelsea for Manchester City:
🗣️ “I’ll be honest, I never thought we’d get to hear the full story from Maresca himself. For months, everyone was blaming the owners for sacking one of their best managers in recent years, but the club simply knew something the public didn’t.”
🗣️ “If a player or a manager no longer sees a club as the place he want, then why should the club want to keep him? Sometimes the biggest move a club can make is knowing when to let go.”
🗣️ “From Maresca’s side though, I found it disappointing. Chelsea gave him the biggest opportunity of his career. They took him from Leicester, trusted him with one of the biggest jobs in England and gave him a platform to build his name.”
🗣️ “You don’t leave a club like that halfway through a project because Pep Guardiola calls you. That’s not how you repay a club that believed in you before everyone else did.”
🗣️ “I actually respect Chelsea for acting immediately. Once they realized his mind wasn’t fully at the club anymore, they moved on instead of begging someone to stay.”
🗣️ “And look at who they’ve brought in—Xabi Alonso. A manager with a bigger résumé, a stronger personality and someone who can influence an entire football club, not just the starting eleven.”
🗣️ “Maybe Maresca leaving and Xabi becoming available at almost the same time wasn’t just a coincidence. It could be a blessing in disguise.”
🚨🔵 OFFICIAL: Enzo Maresca statement on Chelsea exit.
“The decision to leave was only mine. My resignation from Chelsea opened a path for me to join Manchester City, which is a club I knew very well. I am ecstatic that I have now joined Manchester City”.
“I recognise that my departure from Chelsea in the middle of the season caused disruption for the club and I apologise for that. It was neither my intention nor my wish”.
🚨 Fabrizio Romano 🎙️Xhaka has agreed personal terms with Chelsea and only wants the move. Chelsea’s opening £8–9m bid is not enough, with Sunderland standing firm and reluctant to sell. The player could now play a major role in negotiations. #NG67

Arsenal are probably the first side to win a league and not have anyone from their team win Golden Boots, Top Assists or Player of the Year😂😂
The worst Champions of all time
Daniel Taylor,
You really need to do justice to Sterling when writing. He broke out at 16, playing top level football, and now he’s 31.
Out of these years, he was at the top for more than a decade. Many players don’t have that.
I’ll remind you of what he’s achieved just incase you’ve led many people on, people who possibly have amnesia. Y’all cannot rewrite history.
Sterling is the second youngest player to score for Liverpool, only behind Owen.
Golden boy award in ‘14 (Best U-21 player in Europe)
Scored over 100 goals in the premier league at age 27, the 8th youngest player to score over 100 goals. He’s also part of the PL-100 club.
5 Career Hat tricks…also scored the fastest hat trick in 18/19 season, it took him 13mins.
About 100 premier league appearances for Liverpool
Over 200 appearances for Man City, and playing under the most successful manager as a REGULAR.
PFA Young player of the year
FWA Footballer of the year
PFA Team of the year
UEFA Champions League Squad of the season twice
Liverpool Player of the year twice
He’s also an MBE, due to work he’s done for the black race. Promoting racial equality in sports.
It doesn’t end here.
4 Premier Leagues
1 FA Cup
5 Carabao Cups
1 Champions league and Carabao Cup runner up.
He also played close to 100 games for England, scoring many goals, very reliable and also led them to 2nd place at the Euros in 2020.
Let it be known that Raheem Sterling is a LEGEND of the game, especially in the premier league. Let your write ups always cover it.
Positive contents can do numbers, not just negatives.
Thanks, Daniel.
