Mohammed Salah on why he choose the Turkish league and Trabzonspor over any league.

🗣️“I know there where people who were expecting to see me in the Saudi league or one one of the top clubs in Europe but I see something different in this club [Trabzonspor], I wanted a new stars are already in cause there’s something I want to build up with this team.”

“Choosing Trabzonspor made me to realize that there’s still love Outside Liverpool, the fans there came out in numbers with an incredible support and love which made me even want the club more, and that’s why I want to win something with this amazing fans, they deserve much better love from me.”

“I wanted to build a better union with this set of player here, I want them as a competitive side, the motivation and hard work pushes our mentality after each game in the season, which is just about one step at a time.”

“There were pundits and many others who question my move but they never know what actually it means for me to trust this club, it really means a lot to me.”

“I want to payback this amazing fans with a trophy at the end of season, the way they deserve this trophy is so, so special.”

Just Imagined Robben,Bale ,Giggs ,Mahrez,Ronaldo and Hazard recreating this and I burst out laughing ,Mo Salah is him!

🚨🎙️ Lamine Yamal on the heated Altercation between Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong during Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid:

🎙️Reporter: There was a moment towards the end of the game when things got heated between Frenkie and Raphinha over a free-kick. What actually happened?
ere getting close to the end of the game.

We won a free-kick.

Raphinha was already preparing to take it, but Frenkie ran straight towards him and said, “Hey, Rapha, I don’t think you need to take this one. Have you looked at the time?”

Raphinha looked at him and replied, “And so?

I can score this free-kick. Is there anything wrong with trying? Besides, I’m the captain, and I think I have the right to decide what happens.”

Frenkie wasn’t having it. He told him, “This isn’t about being captain. We’re already leading. Do you remember what happened against Inter Milan?

If we had kept the ball for another minute instead of constantly looking to attack, we could have played in the Champions League final.”

Honestly, I wanted to interrupt them, but I thought I’m still too young and these are the elder ones, so I had to let them finish their conversation. (Laughs)

🎙️Reporter: Do you personally agree with Frenkie? What do you make of the situation?

🗣️Yamal: I actually agree with Frenkie. Since that game against Inter Milan, I’ve learned that winning big games isn’t always about who plays the best attacking football. Sometimes it’s about understanding the situation, managing the game and knowing when to stop taking unnecessary risks.

I think Raphinha is making it a little bigger than it needs to be simply because he’s the captain. Sometimes you have to listen, even when you’re the one wearing the armband.

🎙️Reporter: Do you think Frenkie understands the game better and perhaps should have been the first captain instead of Raphinha?

Yamal: That’s not for me to decide. The coach has made his decision, and the club has made its decision. I respect Raphinha as our captain, but if you’re asking me about understanding the responsibility of managing a game, I think Frenkie understands that role better.

🎙️Reporter: Finally, does this misunderstanding affect the relationship between the players?

🗣️Yamal: Absolutely not. We’re all professionals, and Més que un club isn’t just a slogan. We’re a family, and we cannot allow one disagreement to affect what we’ve built together.

We have a long season ahead, important games to play and trophies to fight for. Sometimes teammates disagree, sometimes they argue, but at the end of the day, we’re all fighting for the same badge. That’s what matters.

Arsenal really shouldn't have sold Trossard, he's in his prime age
He's been cooking for Besiktas so far this season 😭🔥🔥

Eric: Are you going to shoot?
Lamine: There’s only a minute left

Frenkie: we have 3 seconds left, basically confirming it's fine to shoot the ball
Pedri: hey! hey! let’s shoot!

But ofc the Rapha haters in the fanbase spinning around the narrative that he shot it himself and didn't listen to the other players 🤦🏻‍♂️ x.com/mleo2026/statu…

If Ayden Heaven and Yoro can finish a game as United's CB partnership then I don't see the reason why Carrick should be sacked.

If these are the players who have to play then he deserves credit for not being last on the table. There is no club in the league or championship Yoro aight into their starting eleven.

If you think I am lying then give me a team you believe Yoro and Heaven can be their CB partnership in the league if not Man United or a team in the third or 4th tier in England.

Good morning mutuals❤️❤️

🚨🎙️ Diego Simeone on Atlético Madrid’s 2-1 defeat to Barcelona and the Pedri vs Jude Bellingham debate.

🎙️ Reporter: You’ve just lost 2-1 at home to the league leaders. Do you feel there was anything wrong with the officiating tonight?

🗣️ Simeone: Cheated? No. If there is any o complain about tonight, it is Barcelona for having Pedri González in their team. (Laughs)

People will watch this game and talk about Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and how Fermín López caused us problems and scored the winning goal. And they would be right. Lamine is an exceptional talent, Raphinha is world-class, and Fermín deserves every bit of credit. But my biggest problem was Pedri. My goodness, that boy is something else.

🎙️ Reporter: Are you saying he is the most difficult midfielder you have faced this season?

🗣️ Simeone: Without any doubt. I’ve faced many midfielders in this league, but very few can do what Pedri does. We’ve played against Bellingham, Valverde and Bernardo Silva, and we never had this kind of problem penetrating their midfield. With Pedri, it’s completely different.

As a manager, you prepare a plan, study the opposition and identify their weaknesses. But you get onto the pitch, and suddenly you’re chasing the ball because one player refuses to let you have it.

You press him,

close the spaces and think you’ve trapped him,

but somehow he always finds a way out.

Eventually, frustration takes over, and that’s when players start making unnecessary challenges and getting booked.

There was even a moment when I wanted Koke and Barrios to be more aggressive with him because I thought we needed to make him uncomfortable. But I reconsidered those instructions myself. (Laughs) I know my players, and if they continued that way, we would probably finish with a red card.

🎙️ Reporter: There’s a debate about who is the better midfielder between Pedri and Jude Bellingham. Some believe Jude has a greater influence because of his goals, assists and ability to decide important games. Having faced both, where do you stand?

🗣️ Simeone: I think people sometimes confuse being influential with controlling a football match.

Jude can win you games, absolutely. He’s an exceptional player, but when I talk about midfielders, I’m talking about players who dictate how an entire team plays.

Look at Pedri tonight. He wasn’t chasing goals or headlines. He was controlling everything around him. He decided when Barcelona needed to move forward, keep possession and escape our pressure. That’s what makes him special.

If you ask me who I’d rather have in my midfield, Pedri. If you ask me who I’d trust to control a difficult game against an aggressive opponent, Pedri again. Jude is fantastic, but these are different levels of midfield responsibility.

🎙️ Reporter: So, without hesitation, you would choose Pedri over Bellingham?

🗣️ Simeone: Without any doubt. And this isn’t disrespect towards Jude. He’s exceptional, but no manager who understands midfield control would automatically choose Bellingham over Pedri.

There’s a reason Real Madrid have spent years looking for a midfielder who can properly dictate games despite having Bellingham in their squad.

Jude can score, arrive in the box and influence games in the final third. But controlling the rhythm of a match, deciding when to accelerate, slow things down and escape pressure? That’s a different conversation.

I won’t pretend I’m happy with the result. We lost, Barcelona won, and they deserved it. But Barcelona didn’t even have Frenkie de Jong starting, yet Pedri took responsibility for controlling that midfield. That tells you everything about his level.

There’s still a long way to go. You cannot decide a league title in November, and we’ll keep fighting until the end. Congratulations to Barcelona, but I hope I don’t have to face that little magician too many more times this season. (Laughs)

🚨Youri Tielemans on the heated Altercation between him and Unai Emery after their 2-2 draw Vs Aston Villa.

Reporter🗣️: we saw you and Unai Emery in a heated argument after their game do you mind telling us the incident.

Tielemans🗣️: As a former team player of Aston Villa after and he ask me have I achieved what I was in hurry to join Manchester United for, I was confused and want to know what exactly he was talking about.”

“He then told me Manchester United are never a better club than Aston Villa, I didn’t expect him to say that to me, then I told him he’s never winning any trophy again since I’m no more at the club.”

“He got furious and was trying to bully me, he pushed me away like I’ve never help him, or he has never see me in life but I chose peace over anything his intentions was.”

“You can’t expect a player to continue at a club when you don’t respect and treat them well, and I will say it here that he made us unhappy at the club with the way he treated every player.”

The dressing room become heated and everyone wants a new chapter after we won the Europe Cup.”

Jamie Garragher:" Mikel Arteta is turning premier league into farmers league, this isn't Ligue one, Laliga or Bundersliga where trophy is won by March, this is premier, the best league in the World.

l want to see other teams waking up, they should give Arsenal a strong let Mikel Arteta to win the league by March , where is Chelsea, Manchester united or Liverpool."

Gary Neville:" We can't allow this, it was Pep and now it's Mikel Arteta, pep almost took the premier league into farmers league but we were lucky he couldn't continue because of his age but now here comes Mikel Arteta, he is very young and experience coach,he is a student to Pep.
During pep Guardiola there was Klopp and Mikel Arteta who kept him toe to toe, Pep won the league, Klopp and Arteta Also won the league, but this is Arteta aloñe, this isn't a race anymore."

Micah Richard:" l don't see competition in this league, we thought it was a two horse race but now it's one horse race, it's Arsenal. Yes they are sittings at the top of the table with six points ahead of Manchester City."

🚨🎙️Zlatan Ibrahimovic reacts to Uli Hoeneß’ controversial comments about Jamal Musiala’s medical condition, recovery, performance uncertainty and Bayern Munich contract:

🗣️Zlatan: “Jamal Musiala is 23 years old. Twenty-three. One of the purest talents I’ve seen in years — the l, the way he turns, the way he makes defenders look stupid without even trying. One medical setback does not delete that. It does not erase what he has already given Bayern Munich. Anyone who understands football knows this.

Anyone who has played at the highest level knows this. Apparently, some people in Munich have forgotten.
Recovery is not a switch. You don’t come back from collapses on the pitch, from a neurological condition, from muscle problems, and suddenly look like the same player overnight. Confidence takes time. Sharpness takes time. Explosiveness and match rhythm take time. Some days are better than others. That’s normal.

That’s football. What is not normal is a senior figure at the club standing in public, talking about a young player’s illness, and then casually bringing up his salary and his contract like the kid is a broken machine on the factory floor.

“What he can deliver now is no longer what was in the contract.”

Really? So Bayern only values him when he’s fully fit and producing match-winning performances every week? When he’s the one carrying the attack, when he’s the one making the difference, everything is fine. The moment he is dealing with something serious, suddenly the numbers matter more than the human being? I played for a long time. I know how clubs work. But there is a line between managing a football club and treating players like financial assets. Hoeneß crossed it.

You can question performances. Every player gets questioned when he is not at his best. That is part of the job. What you do not do is use a player’s health problem as the moment to start talking about whether he is still “worth” the money. That is not tough love. That is not honesty. That is disrespectful. It is insensitive. And it is weak.

Bayern paid what they paid because they saw the same thing everyone else saw — a generational talent. Now, when that talent needs time and support, the message from above is “imagine if we questioned the contract.” Imagine if the club protected its investment properly instead of publicly casting doubt on a 23-year-old who has already given them so much. Imagine if they stood behind him the way they stood behind other players in the past.

Musiala will come back. Players of his quality usually do. But when he does, he will remember who spoke about him like a problem on a spreadsheet while he was trying to get healthy. Clubs like Bayern talk a lot about family and loyalty when it suits them.

This is the test.

And if Hoeneß or anyone else at Bayern thinks this kind of talk is harmless, they are wrong. You don’t publicly reduce a young player’s value to his current fitness level and then act surprised when people call it out. I have no problem saying it: this was a low moment from a man who should know better. Musiala deserves better than being discussed like a depreciating asset. Full stop.

You can question form. You cannot question a player’s worth the moment he gets ill and then drag his salary into it. That is a different level. And I’m not letting it slide.

🚨🎙️ Pep Guardiola on his conversation with Hansi Flick following Barcelona’s 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid:

“I always watch Barcelona games. My heart will always be connected to that club. I was there when things were going well, and I was there when things weren’t going well. happens, I believe I should always be there for this club. Hansi is a manager I respect enormously, and honestly, I believe he’s the right man to take Barcelona where they want to be. What he’s done with this team is far beyond what many people expected.

Immediately after the game, I called him. He thought I was calling to congratulate him, And the moment he picked up,

he said, ‘Hey, Pep! I’m sure you enjoyed our comeback.’ (laughs)

I told him, ‘Of course I did! You did a fantastic job. Coming back from 1-0 down at a difficult stadium like the Metropolitano is not something every team can do.’

He replied, ‘Of course it was difficult, but I have incredible players who hate losing, and they did the job for me.’

I appreciated that, and I told him, ‘You know how much Pep loves you, don’t you?’ He said, ‘Yes.’

Then I asked, ‘And you know how much Pep loves Barcelona?’ He replied, ‘Without any doubt. Nobody can argue with that.’

But then I told him something more serious. I said, ‘I respect your project, Hansi, but I think we’re reaching a point where you might need to make a few changes. I’ve never called you before to discuss your tactics, but my love for you and this club is making me do it today.’

He asked me, ‘What exactly would you like me to change?’

I told him, ‘I’ve managed big clubs for a very long time, and I’ve learned how to recognise different situations. There’s no way I’d be managing a big team today and insist on playing this kind of high defensive line without knowing when to adjust it.

I’m not saying high-line football is a bad strategy. It can work wonderfully against smaller teams, but against Europe’s biggest clubs, it becomes a different conversation. And those are the teams you’ll have to overcome if you want to win the Champions League.’

I told him Barcelona were very lucky Atlético didn’t take their chances in the first half.

‘If Julián Álvarez had taken all his chances, we wouldn’t be having this same conversation right now.’

He went quiet for a moment before reminding me that this approach had already brought him a domestic treble, and that was one of the reasons he continued believing in it.

I told him, ‘Yes, Hansi, and nobody is taking that away from you. But football changes. Clubs spend so much time studying their opponents, and with the kind of defenders you currently have, I think that’s one of the reasons you’re experiencing these difficulties.’

He admitted that he shared some of those concerns. He told me he’d already spoken with Deco and that the club had promised to bring in some quality reinforcements in January.

He mentioned Nico Paz and Alessandro Bastoni as two of the names being discussed. He also admitted he’d love to have Joško Gvardiol, although he knows that would be difficult because of his contract.

He told me that, until the transfer window opens, he’ll have to reduce the intensity of the high line and become more flexible depending on the opposition.

Before we ended the conversation, he thanked me and told me never to hesitate to call him whenever I felt something wasn’t going right. He said nobody can be perfect, and sometimes even the best managers need someone they respect to tell them the truth.

That’s Hansi. He’s a wonderful manager, and I genuinely want to see him succeed at Barcelona.”
