🚨EXCL | Leverkusen wanted to appoint Filipe Luis and negotiations were advanced as revealed.
The problem: Luis only holds the CONMEBOL coaching licence, not the UEFA Pro Licence. Leverkusen were in contact with UEFA to find a solution, but the process took time. Luis did not want to wait, especially as AS Monaco were also pushing for him.
Monaco are now prepared to pay fines of up to €25,000 per match if necessary. If no special exemption is granted, his CONMEBOL licence would automatically be recognised as a UEFA Pro Licence after three years as a head coach. Luis has been Flamengo head coach for around 1.5 years.

Look at how the PSG players immediately stopped appealing the moment the referee waved it away. Only Marquinhos approached the ref, and the bench stayed calm. Zero drama.
Now contrast that with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. When Madueke pulled down Nuno Mendes and intentionally went down looking for a soft penalty, the Arsenal players threw a collective tantrum on the pitch. Arteta rallied his entire bench, screaming at the officials for almost a minute and nearly interrupting the game.
That’s the exact brand of tactical tantrum he throws in the PL to bully weak English referees who completely lack authority.
What makes Arteta truly embarrassing is his shameless desperation. Later on, when Gyokeres’ shot got deflected for a corner, Arteta was up in the fourth official's face demanding a handball penalty. Then we saw the replay, and the ball wasn't even close to a PSG player's arm.
He’s a certified embarrassment to the beautiful game.
That club’s fanbase suffers from a deep persecution complex which is very strange for followers of a highly competitive sport. It’s like they want to be recognised as winners with underdog status. Professional victims. Imagine trying to morally police football banter and rivalry.
Even the players were out there taunting haters; telling everyone to shut up after winning the EPL. They shouldn’t complain now that the jokes are flying back at them.
People who naturally possess status, power, and favorable conditions often have giant hearts. Praiseworthy and admirable.🎊
However, we cannot accept the disrespect shown by some disadvantaged individuals who look down on brothers and sisters in the same circumstances.💕🎀💯

See the quality of footballers we used to sign. Now we don’t even let babies start walking before we snatch them from their cradles and put the in the starting eleven
The fact that the Netherlands can afford to leave out someone like Jeremie Frimpong shows the gap between established footballing nations and countries like Nigeria or Ghana. And when I say “big,” I mean in terms of infrastructure, depth of talent, and overall standards.
Imagine a player of Frimpong’s level , playing for a top club like Liverpool representing Nigeria or Ghana. Even if he wasn’t a regular starter at club level, he would almost certainly make the World Cup squad. Why? Because players at that level are rare in those national teams.
That’s the difference. Top nations have depth; others rely heavily on a few standout players.
On the flip side, this is also why players with African roots might consider representing those countries. The opportunities and prominence they would get are much greater.
Take Calvin Bassey, for example, without choosing Nigeria, he likely wouldn’t have earned as many international caps or recognition at that level.
