🚨 Bruno Fernandes on Cristiano Ronaldo’s disallowed goal for Portugal against Wales: 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “I still don’t understand it. “I saw Cristiano’s run and I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I waited for the moment, played the pass and he timed his movement perfectly. “He gets in behind the defenders, and suddenly you have a 41-year-old man sprinting into the space like a young striker, getting there before the goalkeeper and finishing the chance. “It was a beautiful goal. “We celebrated it. Everyone thought it counted. “Then, a few minutes later, we were told it was offside. “I stood there watching the screen, waiting for the line. I wanted to understand exactly what they had seen. “They told us his foot was a metre offside. “Okay. “But then I looked at the defender’s shoulder, because that is the part you have to consider as well, and I couldn’t understand why that part of the body wasn’t being shown properly in the replay. “That is what frustrated me. “If you are going to draw the line, draw it properly. Show us the whole picture. “Because from where I was standing, Cristiano timed that run perfectly. “And honestly, we could have won that game by more than one goal. “Cristiano could have had number 980 tonight. “He deserved that moment. “But sometimes football gives you these decisions that make you stand there and question everything you were taught about the rules. “We are told VAR is there to give us clarity. “So when a decision comes back and nobody on the pitch understands what was actually wrong with the goal, of course you are going to ask questions. “I’m not saying every decision has to go our way. “That’s football. “But if you take away a goal, show us clearly why you took it away. “Because Cristiano did the hard part. “He made the run. “I found him. “He finished it. “We celebrated it. “And then suddenly, the goal disappeared. Maybe number 980 has to wait. But I still believe that goal deserved to stay on the scoreboard.”

“And honestly, we could have won that game by more than one goal.

“Cristiano could have had number 980 tonight.

“He deserved that moment.

“But sometimes football gives you these decisions that make you stand there and question everything you were taught about the rules.

“We are told VAR is there to give us clarity.

“So when a decision comes back and nobody on the pitch understands what was actually wrong with the goal, of course you are going to ask questions.

“I’m not saying every decision has to go our way.

“That’s football.

“But if you take away a goal, show us clearly why you took it away.

“Because Cristiano did the hard part.

“He made the run.

“I found him.

“He finished it.

“We celebrated it.

“And then suddenly, the goal disappeared.

Maybe number 980 has to wait. But I still believe that goal deserved to stay on the scoreboard.”

@UTD_Seth001 This is enough evidence to show that football is not about the numbers but about the friendship and people we meet along the way

🚨 Virgil van Dijk reveals what Jürgen Klopp told him at full-time against Germany: 🗣️ Virgil van Dijk: “When the final whistle went, Klopp came straight over to me. He looked at me, shook his head and said, ‘Virgil, you really chose tonight to make my life difficult?’ “I started laughing because I knew exactly what he meant. “He said, ‘I spent all those years telling you to be calm under pressure, and now you’re using everything I taught you against me.’ “I told him, ‘Boss, you always told us to play until the final whistle.’ “He looked at me and said, ‘Yes, but I was hoping you would forget that lesson tonight.’ “That was Klopp. “Even after the game, even with all the emotion, he still finds a way to make you laugh. “Then he became serious for a moment and said, ‘I know you, Virgil. I know how you think. I knew you would keep fighting until the end. That’s what makes you so difficult to play against.’ “I told him, ‘You created the problem yourself.’ “He laughed and said, ‘Maybe. But I definitely didn’t expect the problem to come back and punish me wearing orange.’ “That made everyone around us laugh. “Then, just before he walked away, he pointed at me and said, ‘Enjoy tonight. But remember, I know all your weaknesses.’ “I said, ‘And I know yours, boss.’ “He just smiled and walked away. “That’s the relationship we have. “He was my manager for years. He knows my game better than almost anyone. “But tonight, there was no Liverpool. “No club football. “No old relationships. He was trying to beat us, and I was trying to make sure he went home disappointed.”

🚨 David Brooks on his conversation with Craig Bellamy after Wales went 1-0 down against Portugal: 🗣️ David Brooks: “As soon as we went 1-0 down, Craig called me over. I expected him to talk about our shape, maybe tell me where he wanted me to position myself. “But the first thing he said was, ‘We’re letting Cristiano get into spaces, and everyone is so focused on the name that we’re forgetting the football.’ “Then he looked at me and said, ‘Forget the fame. Forget the name on the back of the shirt. Go for the ball. Press him like a mad dog.’ “That stuck with me. “Because when you see Cristiano Ronaldo standing in front of you, there is always that temptation to think about what he has achieved before you think about what you need to do against him. “Craig wanted us to forget all of that. “He wanted us to defend the player, not the reputation. “And the crazy thing was, Cristiano was 41, but he wasn’t moving like someone who had been playing at the highest level for that long. “He was finding those little spaces between our defenders. He was making runs behind players who were 20 years younger than him. He was dropping deep, receiving the ball and then suddenly spinning in behind again. “You could see what he was trying to do. “He wanted to make our defenders turn. “And every time we turned, he was already thinking about his next movement. “That made the game uncomfortable for us. “We had a plan before the match. But when Cristiano started moving like that, we had to change parts of it because we couldn’t simply leave him alone and expect him to disappear. “We knew he was old but gold. “We knew he could still deliver. “But we didn’t expect a 41-year-old to keep making those runs, keep demanding the ball and keep attacking the space behind defenders like that. “And that is what impressed me most. “It wasn’t just the goal threat. “It was the mentality. “At that age, he could easily have decided to stay higher, wait for the ball and conserve his energy. “Instead, he was still moving. “Still pressing when he could. “Still asking questions. “Still looking for the next opportunity. “That is why his longevity is so difficult to explain. “Football gives you ability when you’re young. “But it takes something completely different to keep that ability alive for so many years. “Cristiano has spent more than two decades finding ways to remain dangerous. “And when you are standing on the pitch against someone like that, you realise you are not just playing against a footballer. “You are playing against years of experience, obsession and discipline. We went into that game thinking we had to stop Cristiano Ronaldo. By the end, I understood why so many defenders have spent their careers trying to do exactly the same thing.”
