I don’t even get mad at racism and bigotry anymore. That’s YOUR problem bro. You are the loser. The opinions of losers can never bother me.

🚨 Roy Keane on Patrick Dorgu’s impact after replacing Diogo Dalot against Aston Villa:
“Dorgu is supposed to be the lad trying to find his form. He comes on and suddenly the striker gets a cross he can score from.
Then he gets himself on the end of a corner.
So what exactly have we been waiting for from the player he replaced?
People will say, ‘Dalot is always available.’
Available to do what?
Going forward, what are you getting? Defensively, what are you trusting? Because a lad who is still trying to get himself going has come off the bench and given United something they desperately needed.
But give Dorgu his credit first. He’s coming into a difficult game. United are two goals behind, the crowd is frustrated, and he’s got his own confidence to think about.
He could take the easy option. Get it, give it back, make sure nobody can point to him losing possession.
Instead, he takes responsibility.
That cross for Zirkzee. Look at what it allows the centre-forward to do. Attack the delivery. He doesn’t have to stop his run and wait for somebody to finish making a decision.
You’re a striker. You’ve come on late. You’re looking for one decent opportunity.
Dorgu gives him one.
If I’m Zirkzee, I’m going straight over to him.
‘Give me that again.’
‘I’ll put it in.’
‘Then I’ll be there.’
That’s how you build something between players. One makes the run, the other rewards it. The next time Dorgu gets his head up, Zirkzee has a reason to believe the ball is coming.
You can spend all week talking about combinations. That’s a combination. A useful ball and somebody willing to attack it.
And Dorgu doesn’t decide his afternoon is finished because he’s got an assist.
There’s still another goal needed. Bruno takes the corner, Dorgu gets himself in there, and he scores.
That’s what I like. He’s affected the game from out wide, then he’s gone into the box to affect it again.
He hasn’t stood outside admiring the cross he put in a few minutes earlier.
Someone might ask him afterwards, ‘Did you feel confident coming on?’
He might say, ‘Not completely.’
Fine. You don’t have to feel brilliant to do your job. Sometimes you have to go and do something that gives you confidence.
Make the run. Deliver the ball. Compete in the box.
He’s given himself actual reasons to feel better walking off that pitch. He’s helped a teammate score and he’s scored himself. That will do more for him than another week of people saying he needs confidence.
And it should mean something when the next team is being picked.
I’d be asking him, ‘Can we have that attitude from the start?’
‘Yes.’
‘Good. Then make it difficult to leave you out.’
He’s earned that conversation.
Which brings you back to Dalot. We keep being asked to be patient with the experienced player while finding reasons the younger one isn’t ready.
Dorgu needs form. He needs games. He needs confidence.
What does Dalot need? How long are we giving him to recognise when to cross a ball or when to make a tackle?
At some point, somebody at the club has to answer a simple question.
‘Why is he playing?’
And the answer has to involve football. What he contributes. What he makes better.
‘He’s fit.’
So is the referee. You wouldn’t put him at full-back.
Dorgu has come on and made a case for himself. There’s effort in it, certainly, but there’s also an end product. United needed goals and he was involved in both of the ones that brought them back to four-four.
That’s the part he should take home with him.
He didn’t wait until everything felt comfortable to have an impact.
He came into a mess and gave his teammates something to work with.
Now let him build on it. If he’s trying to get back into form, give him the opportunity to carry this into the next game.
He’s done enough waiting behind someone who keeps being available without making himself useful.”

🚨 Sir Alex Ferguson’s emotional letter to Cristiano Ronaldo following his retirement from international football:
🎙️ “Cristiano,
I don’t know if you will ever fully understand what you have meant to football, to Manchester United, to Portugal, and most importantly, to me.
When you first walked into my office as a young boy from Sporting Lisbon, I saw something special. I saw hunger, confidence, courage and a boy who believed he could become the best in the world. But even I couldn’t have imagined the heights you would eventually reach.
I remember the young boy who wanted to take on every defender, who stayed behind after training and who was never satisfied with being good enough. Sometimes I had to remind you that football was a team game, but I never wanted to take away that fire inside you.
Today, as you close another chapter of your international career, I want you to know that you have given your country something that cannot be measured in goals or trophies.
You gave Portugal belief. You carried the hopes of millions, you cried for your country, you fought for your country, and you eventually gave them a European Championship. You made an entire generation believe that nothing was impossible.
I have watched you grow from that talented young boy into a man who has challenged the limits of this beautiful game. And I must tell you something: I am proud of you.
People will argue about who was the greatest. They will compare your records, trophies and achievements. But when I look at you, I don’t just see a footballer. I see a young boy who refused to surrender his dreams.
You may be saying goodbye to international football, but you will never say goodbye to the memories you have given us.
And if I could speak to that 18-year-old boy I brought to Manchester all those years ago, I would tell him one thing:
‘You have no idea how many lives you are about to touch.’
But there is one thing I must say. I don’t believe this is how your international journey should have ended. A player who has given so much to his country deserves a much greater honour and farewell. You deserved to walk away with an entire nation celebrating your extraordinary contribution to Portuguese football.
Portugal owes you more than a goodbye, Cristiano. You deserve a farewell worthy of a king.
Thank you, Cristiano. It was an honour to be your manager, but it was an even greater privilege to watch you become the man you are today.
You will always be my boy, Cristiano.”

🚨 Éder on Cristiano Ronaldo's retirement from international football:
🗣️ Éder: “People always say that without me, Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't have a Euros trophy. But the truth is, without Cristiano, we wouldn't have reached that final in the first place.
And there's something about that night in Paris that I will never forget.
I wasn't one of the first names on the team sheet. I had barely played during the tournament, and I knew people had their doubts about me. But Cristiano never made me feel like I was just another player in the squad.
I remember speaking to him before I came onto the pitch. He looked at me and told me I was going to score the winning goal.
Imagine that. Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, looking you in the eyes and telling you that you're going to win the European Championship for your country.
He gave me a kind of confidence I cannot properly explain. He made me believe that my moment was coming.
Then, when I finally came on, I saw him on the touchline. He couldn't play anymore, but he was still fighting every second of that match. He was shouting, encouraging us and celebrating every little thing.
I remember thinking that we couldn't let him down.
When I scored, everything happened so quickly. I heard the noise, saw my teammates running towards me, and suddenly I realised what had just happened.
But one of the first things I wanted to do was find Cristiano.
I knew how much that trophy meant to him. I knew what he had gone through in 2004, how much criticism he had received, and how many years he had spent trying to give Portugal something special.
That night, I scored the goal, but I never felt like I was the hero alone. That trophy belonged to every player who had fought for it, and especially to the captain who had given us the belief to finish the job.
Now, hearing that he has decided to retire from international football, I keep thinking about that conversation.
He told me I would score the winning goal, and I did. But he gave me something much bigger than that goal. He made me believe I could change the history of my country.
I wish every young Portuguese player could experience what it means to share a dressing room with him. You learn that talent is important, but belief, sacrifice and the desire to keep going when everything is against you are just as important.
Cristiano, you don't owe Portugal anything anymore. You've given us memories that will stay with us forever.
And if people ever ask me what my greatest moment in football was, I'll tell them it was scoring that goal.
But if they ask me who made me believe I could score it, I'll give them one name.
Cristiano Ronaldo.”

🚨 Pepe tears up explaining the feeling of playing behind Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal:
“I remember a game when we were under pressure and I cleared a ball without looking. It came straight back.
“Cristiano turned round and said, ‘Pepe, give me something I can chase.’
“I said, ‘I’m trying to get us out.’
“He said, ‘Then give it to me.’
“I laughed afterwards because he was asking me to pick a pass while I had a striker trying to take my head off. But the next time I won it, I looked. He was already moving. I put it down the channel and suddenly their defenders were running towards their own goal.
“That was a wonderful feeling as a centre-back. You’ve spent five minutes defending your box, shouting, getting your body in front of things, and then you hear the crowd because Cristiano has the ball. You can finally step up. You can breathe.
“He gave me a lot of those breaths.
“People will remember his goals against Sweden. I remember what it felt like at the other end when the match became difficult. You look up the pitch and he’s still making the run. You’re tired, he’s tired, everybody knows where the pass is going, and he still wants you to try it.
“I used to ask him, ‘How do you know I can get it there?’
“He’d say, ‘You got it there before.’
“Sometimes that was all the encouragement you needed. He remembered the good pass you’d made, even when you were thinking about the last one you’d given away.
“And then there was France in 2016. When he had to come off, I looked at him and knew how much it was hurting. We’d spoken about winning something for Portugal for so many years. Now we were in the final and he couldn’t stay on the pitch.
“I remember thinking we had to give him a game he could bear to watch.
“That became difficult as well, because every time you looked towards the touchline he was trying to come back on without actually coming back on. I thought, ‘Cristiano, please. We can only listen to one coach.’
“I kept thinking about what it would be like to walk back into that dressing room if we lost. You can tell your friend you gave everything, and he’ll believe you. But you also know he’d give anything to have been out there helping you. I wanted us to come back with something he could hold.
“When Eder scored, I still had defending to do. People watching at home could jump up and celebrate. I was looking at the clock and trying to get everybody back where they needed to be. Every ball into our box felt like it had been in the air for a minute.
“Then it was over. For once, I could look towards Cristiano without having to look straight back at the pitch. I’d spent years wanting him to get on the end of something. That night I just wanted to get over to him.
“Even now, when I see the photographs, I remember how difficult it was to say anything properly. You start a sentence, somebody grabs you, then you see another teammate crying and you forget what you were trying to say. We’d imagined winning that trophy so many times. None of those conversations had prepared me for actually giving him a hug when it happened.
“But when we lifted that trophy, I wanted him in the middle of everything. He’d helped get us to that night. And I knew the boy who’d wanted to win for Portugal was still there inside the man holding the cup.
“Today somebody asked me what Portugal will miss most. There are so many football answers. The movement, the heading, the way he could turn a clearance into a chance. I’ll probably think of another one tomorrow.
“Right now I’m thinking about the next time Portugal are defending a lead and somebody wins the ball near their own box. For years, before I even had it under control, I knew I’d hear him asking for it.
“I’ll be watching from home. I think part of me will still look up to see where he’s running.”
