De Bruyne: "When I was 14, I left my parents to join Genk training center. The first year I ended up in a large boarding school, where you sleep with everyone. ⠀

Fortunately, the second year, I was with a host family. But things didn't go as planned. I'm someone who is fine on my own, I'm kind of shy. I thought everything was fine, at the end of the year, everything was going well. My foster parents never had to go to school for problems, academic or disciplinary. I said goodbye to them without knowing what was going to happen. ⠀

Then one day I come home and my parents were sad, they were crying, I asked, 'what's wrong?', And there they told me that my host family didn't want more of me. I asked them why and they said it was 'because of who you are'. I did not understand. 'You are difficult to pin down, you are very calm. You have trouble interacting with the other children. They just find you difficult '. ⠀

It's not nice to hear that when you're 15 or 16. That day, I kicked the ball against a wall for hours. I told myself that everything was going to be fine, and that in a few months I would be in the first team and that I would no longer experience failure. ⠀
When I came back after the summer, I was in the B team and I told my parents that in two months I will be in the first team. I trained like crazy, I had fire in me. It was as if I had gone mad. I remember we were playing on a Friday night, I was a substitute. I came on in the second half and I scored five goals. That day changed my history in the club and I joined the first team."

Gary Neville: “I'm not bothered about Pogba's comments to be honest with you. I think that once a player has left, he can say whatever he wants. Fine, no problem. But I don't think he has performed well over the last six years. I don't think the club have performed well with him either, or handled him well. It's been a partnership that, to be fair, has failed on both sides so that is what you'd have to say on that one. There is no winner when a player leaves after six years with the money that has been spent and very little has been won. The player leaves dissatisfied and the club are dissatisfied with it as well. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth because it's the second time it's happened. You wish him all the best in the future at Juventus.”

Darwin Núñez is reportedly earning £140k a week at Liverpool. Manchester United walked away from negotiations when significantly more was requested for the player.

Some at Manchester United sense that clubs, agents and players are currently trying to exploit Man United’s perceived lower leverage in the market, but Murtough is earning a reputation as a tough (but fair) negotiator who is working hard to ensure that this does not happen.

Granit Xhaka's booking against Leeds United is being investigated following major suspicious betting activity.

The FA conducted a six-month investigation and have referred the matter to the country’s leading organised crime agency in a development which indicates serious concerns over corruption and possible criminality.

The alarm was raised by an unusually large bet of about £52,000 placed during the match on Xhaka to be booked in the final 10 minutes despite the fact that Arsenal were winning 4-1.

The Switzerland midfielder was booked by referee Andre Marriner for time wasting in the 86th minute as he delayed taking a free-kick.

Cafu : 🗣️ "I am afraid, the more we have Brazilians moving to the Premier league, the less chances for Brazil to win the World cup. Imagine being brainwashed by Gary Neville and his colleagues every week that you are the best in the world, meanwhile you are not near the best.

I prefer La liga, because they have high mentality to reach Finals and win them. In La liga they don't have a mouth in front of TV cameras telling lies about Spanish players or hyping them to the world. They speak football there, not myth.

I overheard them saying that the Liverpool Dreadlock right back is in my level in that right back position . I didn't want to debate , because I knew Vinicius will show the World the truth and he did in Paris "

Marcelo: "Wearing Real Madrid C.F.'s shirt is beautiful. My family is proud of me, I’ve done everything I had to do and I’m leaving a legacy for the youngsters. I won 5 Champions League, unbelievable. I played 4 finals but I felt more important this season. I had good talks with Rodrygo, Militao, Valverde on the bench. The best thing was talking to them, hugging them during the final.

"Watching the youngsters play has been priceless. I want them to remember me as the person I am, not because of a nutmeg I did or because I won a Champions League."

A Real Madrid icon. Marcelo 🙌🇧🇷
