Zidane era

I am glad the Deschamp nightmare is now over. A disappointing era considering the amount of talent we had.

MorataFC:
Welcome back from your sabbatical leave.

Thank you sir.

Set Awon Argentina no dey play dirty..

That had to be a foul

D. Olmo/ Mazroui/ J. Rodriguez dey the same WhatsApp group. Their admin na M. Gotze..

Omo Ologo with another impressive international competition.

6 goals contribution (3 assists/ 3 goals)

There is a reason, irrespective of the coach, he is going to be picked ahead of others, even on one foot.

As a player they now have the upper hands, this is the same issue I have with saka who is already going the path of rashford.
They need to learn when to call it a day the other person I am looking with side eyes is rice but I am glad they won't feature much next season.
Infact I will be glad if they all take a season off

It’s not that easy for the players and that’s why we need the club protect them from themselves sometimes.

Remember what happened after he went down in 2023? We essentially lost the title because of his absence. The same thing happened to Les Bleus, he went down and they immediately hit rock bottom.

The issue is that we are rotating enough during the season to give these players some rest. Rice own is inevitable, he is the highest risk at this point.

So he's finally agree to do surgery

Let’s be clear, there was no time Saliba declined surgery. Keep in mind Arsenal had him navigate the bulk of the past season with this same back injury using painkillers. Why didn’t we elect for surgery instead of painkillers during the season? You know it would have cost us the league.

There is no way he was missing the WC, a chance to win it as a starting and integral player. France were essentially doing the same thing Arsenal did and we were aware. France was managing his back with painkillers. He dropped to the ground when he couldn’t anymore, his back had given up.

This is the same back injury he suffered in 2023. I broke down how he sustained this back injury back in 2023 from over usage until a similar situation happened in the UEL against Sporting I think. At the end of the day, we mismanaged his usage, the injury and its timing. I will not blame him for refusing to have surgery and miss the WC.

Back injuries are the worst with unpredictable recovery timelines! We all saw something coming, gutted it is his back. He is definitely going to be out for at least 5 months, depending on rehab.

Praying for a successful surgery for my guy! World best CB!

Now, this is an uplifting and feel good story.

Leyqute:
Chill brother. Your blood too dey hot. Wait make match finish fess

To be honest, I have not given up. We will have our chance to take this game..

Make Deschamps lose this game fess! He will tell us why of all days, he chose to start Tchouameni today over Kone, knowing the former is just returning from a nagging injury. You can see he isn’t able to cover the spaces..

How many fouls does Baena have to commit before a yellow?

I am freaking tired of these dives! How the hell is that a foul! Rabiot did not make contact. These Spanish players are diving around for fouls..

Disgusting

Like what the hell ref!

Good job boys! Keep the press!

How the hell is that offside.. allow the play develop idiot!

Just look at Lacroix wen just enter..

This is annoying the hell out of me

Ellexy:
Did he win the ball with his body or not?

Which body? By diving into the ball with his shoulder and ball hitting his arm?

I don’t have time for unnecessary back and forth please. He won the PK, essentially what his intention was going into the dive.

Digne made an idiotic decision to control the ball with his head inside the box.

Upamecho will be the death of me! Always relying on his speed and nearly got caught there..

Ellexy:
But Yamal won the ball and Digne didn't, end of story.

How is leaning, almost diving into the ball with your shoulder and entire body to the side winning the ball? Yamal was looking for the Pen, it was smart on his end, he got it..

Finally!

Dembouz I need you to press Cucu neck!

Crap! Just crap!!!!!

Saliba is down! Crap!!!!

The idiot should have headed the ball away but chose to control it with his head inside the box!

Rubbish!

Allow them play wetin dem wan play make we move on.
